title: Little Tail Story

text:
was a free-to-play online social role-playing game developed by CyberConnect2 and published by Bandai Namco for Android and iOS. It is the third title in the company's Little Tail Bronx series, acting as a spiritual successor to Tail Concerto and Solatorobo: Red the Hunter, and the first to appear on mobile devices. The project was headed by CyberConnect2's company president Hiroshi Matsuyama, and features music by Chikayo Fukuda with vocals by Tomoyo Mitani, who both previously collaborated on Solatorobo.

The game features a cast of anthropomorphic dogs and cats who must work together to battle monsters and obtain items, with its developer giving it the customized genre name . It was released exclusively in Japan on March 25, 2014, and shut down on October 30.

Gameplay
Little Tail Story is a 3D role-playing game presented from an overhead view where players undergo quests that involve exploring areas and battling monsters to obtain treasure. Players construct a party consisting of eight members, choosing from a variety of dog and cat species as well as a job class for each. During battle, enemies are arranged on a 3-by-3 grid, with each class having a specific attack radius. Only three party members may fight on the front lines at a time, but the player may rotate them in a circular fashion to change their positions, allowing them to hit enemies on certain panels. By defeating foes and completing quest objectives, items are obtained that may be crafted into stronger weapons and armor.

The original classes include , who deal heavy damage to a single opponent; , who use lances to hit in a straight line; , who carry shields and attack in a horizontal line; , who use hammers to attack a circular area; and  who can hit all enemies for light damage. Since the game's launch, three more classes were added:  who uses hand-to-hand combat to attack a single enemy;  who can target all enemies with a bazooka; and , who strikes all enemies in a straight line.

Development
Since the release of Solatorobo: Red the Hunter in 2010, Cyberconnect2 had expressed interest in creating more games in the Little Tail Bronx series despite the low sales of its two previous titles. In January 2014, Namco Bandai Games published a Japanese trademark for Little Tail Story, along with the genre "Dogs and Cats in RPG", followed by a teaser website promising an upcoming mobile game between the company and CyberConnect2. On January 30, a trailer was released officially announcing the title, as well as a projected release date of Spring 2014 in Japan.

Little Tail Story was headed by CyberConnect2 company president Hiroshi Matsuyama, with Ryo Mito of Bandai Namco Games acting as producer. Matsuyama explained that he wanted the game to be a "casual" and "friendly" experience, and developed the title for smartphones to expand the series to a larger audience, both male and female. Music for the game was handled by composer Chikayo Fukuda and vocalist Tomoyo Mitani, collectively known as "LieN", who previously collaborated on the soundtrack for Solatorobo: Red the Hunter. The title's official theme song is , which was performed live one month before the game's release during LieN's "Voyage" concert event in Japan.

The game features costumes related to characters from Solatorobo, in addition to other Bandai Namco properties such as .hack, God Eater 2, and Tales of Xillia.

title: Mouaffaq Nyrabia

text:
Mouaffaq Nyrabia (; born 28 November 1949) is a Syrian dissident, politician, political writer and mechanical engineer, best known for his pivotal role in the creation of Damascus Declaration, a prominent Syrian Opposition structure until the Syrian Revolution erupted in March 2011. Since he left Syria, in early 2013, he has been an active member of the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces, a member of its executive board, representing the secular political current Muwatanah (Arabic for "Citizenship"). Nyrabia worked on founding a democratic bloc inside the Syrian Coalition and joined the similar attempts led by dissident writer and politician Michael Kilo. In June 2014, the democratic bloc, which became a major force inside the coalition, voted Nyrabia to be its candidate to preside over the coalition, after Ahmad Jarba, who is a member of the same bloc. However, in March 2016, Nyrabia was elected as First Vice President of the coalition.

Biography

Nyrabia was born on November 28, 1949 in Hama.

He moved from Homs, where he did high school, to Damascus in 1969 to study mechanical engineering at Damascus University. He graduated in 1974 as a mechanical engineer. He wrote about the cultural experience of those years, post 6 Day War in 1967, for a Goethe Institute publication, where he considered it a crucial disillusionment: "We were totally convinced that winning the war would be easy for us, due to the propaganda our governments and political leaders had made".

He married Amal Mohammad, a civil engineer and also a leftist activist, from Latakia, in 1976, in Damascus, and they had their first child Orwa Nyrabia in 1977

He was detained in September 1980, by the Military Intelligence apparatus of Hafez Al-Assad's government, and was released from prison in November 1985, without charges. His second child, Layla, was born in 1988 in Homs.

He lived with his family in Homs until 2007, when he was pursued by the government again, and moved to Damascus. Nyrabia left Syria for the first time to Germany, via Turkey, in February 2013

Political career

In addition to a successful career as a senior mechanical engineer, managing major industrial projects in Syria, Nyrabia had a long political career, starting from being the head of the Students organization of Syria's non-soviet communist party, usually referred to as "The Political Bureau", led by veteran dissident Riad al-Turk, and one of the founding bodies of the National Democratic Rally, a prominent opposition constellation of the country in the 1970s and 80s. In the late 1970s, Nyrabia became the party's head for Homs and As-Suwayda.

Nyrabia started writing in leading regional newspaper al-Hayat in 1998, and later in Al-Jarida, his op-eds in both were among the most read in the country, providing analysis and views on Syrian political map and possibilities. His writings were thought to have leftist traits in philosophy, however, they were generally seen as promoting democracy and human rights more than any particular ideology. In the period known as Damascus Spring, Nyrabia was one of the initiators of the Statement of 99, a leading manifesto signed in 2000 by 99 leading Syrian intellectuals and opinion leaders.

In the period 2002 to 2004, Nyrabia worked on the development of the party he was a member of in the 1970s, known as the Political Bureau, into what is known today as Syrian Democratic People's Party, giving it a modernised approach towards democracy and social justice, before he resigned his position in the party, and worked independently on the creation of the Damascus Declaration national council; a convention of a wide array of Syrian Opposition forces, that took place in December 2007 in the home of known Syrian dissident Riad Seif in Damascus. Nyrabia was the president of the preparatory committee for the convention. Nyrabia was later on a member of the Central Committee of the Damascus Declaration, until he resigned his position in early 2013 in protest to the committee's objection to the establishing of the wider and more representative National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces. In a February, 2015 a Princeton University, Princeton Interactive Crisis Simulation (PICSIM) paper, it was suggested that "his [Nyrabia's] ideas can be considered the structural basis for the revolution. His position is key to maintaining strong diplomatic connections with other nations if crises were to erupt".

Nyrabia served as a member of the executive board of the coalition for 9 months in 2014, and was appointed representative (acting ambassador) to Germany,; and then as representative of the coalition to the EU and the Benelux countries.

In June 2014 Nyrabia was voted by the Democratic Bloc in the Coalition as their main candidate for presidency of the coalition, However, he lost the election to Hadi Al Bahra, with a vote count of 62 to 41

title: Pocho (crocodile)

text:
Pocho (around 1950–1960 – 12 October 2011) was a Costa Rican crocodile who gained international attention for his relationship of over 20 years with Gilberto "Chito" Shedden, a local fisherman who  found Pocho dying on the banks of the Reventazón River  and  nursed him back to health. The crocodile refused to return to the wild and chose to stay with Chito. The pair became famous after they began performing together in Zimbabwe. The 2013 documentary Touching the Dragon details their relationship.

Discovery of Pocho
Chito, a fisherman, tour guide, and naturalist from Siquirres, Limón Province, Costa Rica, discovered an emaciated and dehydrated male crocodile weighing  on the banks of the Reventazón River in 1989. Upon closer examination, Shedden discovered that the crocodile had been shot in the head through the left eye by a local cattle farmer because the crocodile  had been preying on a herd of cows. Shedden took the crocodile home in his boat along with the reluctant help of some friends.

For six months, Shedden fed the crocodile  of chicken and fish a week, sleeping with it at night in his home. Shedden also simulated the chewing of food with his mouth to encourage the crocodile to eat, and gave it kisses and hugs while talking to it and petting it. Shedden later stated his belief that providing food alone would not have helped it recover, and that "the crocodile needed my love to regain the will to live".

Shedden hid the crocodile in an obscured pond with a thick overhead canopy of trees deep in a nearby forest until he obtained the necessary wildlife permits from Costa Rican authorities to own and raise the crocodile legally.

Improved health
After the crocodile's health improved, Shedden released the crocodile - now named Pocho, meaning "strong" in the local dialect - in a nearby river to return it to the wild but the crocodile refused to go back to its natural habitat, and so Shedden decided to allow the crocodile to live in the water outside Shedden's home. Pocho was considered a member of his family, alongside Shedden's  wife and daughter.

Shedden  trained the crocodile to respond to its own name being called. For more than twenty years, Shedden swam with the crocodile in the river outside his home, mostly at night, talking and playing with Pocho while hugging, kissing and caressing him.

Public performances
For more than a decade, Chito and Pocho performed a weekly act on Sunday afternoons in a  artificial lake at Finca Las Tilapias in his hometown of Siquirres, Costa Rica, performing in the water for tourists from around the world. The 2014 video documentary  Dragons Feast was made about Chito and Pocho   by South African wildlife cinematographer Roger Horrocks shortly before Pocho's death. Horrocks speculated in his documentary that the gunshot wound to Pocho's head might have damaged the crocodile's brain, whereby the usual instinctive behavior of the crocodile changed as a result. Horrocks, noting examples where humans had been attacked by their reptilian pets even after a decade or more of close ownership, felt that Shedden's life was always in danger when he stepped into the water with the crocodile; Shedden stated that "After two or three years, something could happen, maybe... but after 23 years of loving each other, nothing has ever happened, so I don't think so."

One of Pocho's behaviors was to rush at Shedden with his mouth open when he entered the water, before closing his mouth before he got too close, allowing a kiss on his snout instead.

Death and legacy
Pocho died of natural causes in the water outside Shedden's home in Siquirres on 12 October 2011. Following a public funeral held for the crocodile, which was attended by friends and admirers, Shedden sang to the crocodile while holding its 'hand'. Pocho's taxidermied remains are on permanent display behind glass in the Siquirres town museum, which Shedden visits often.

Shedden later befriended a new crocodile, which he named Pocho II. Chito had frequently encountered the crocodile on the river near his house while fishing and had brought the crocodile food, while the crocodile allowed him to pet it; however, the prospects of long-term success with Pocho II remain uncertain as the circumstances are not the same as Shedden's relationship with the original Pocho.

title: Sitting by the Riverside

text:
"Sitting by the Riverside" is a song by the English rock band the Kinks from their sixth studio album, The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society (1968). Written and sung by Ray Davies, it was recorded in July1968. The song features honky-tonk piano and a Mellotron which duplicates the sound of an accordion. An example of psychedelia, the song's relaxed style is offset by the sound of a swelling cacophony between verses, a sound reminiscent of the crescendo in the Beatles' 1967 song "A Day in the Life". The song describes a pleasant experience sitting next to a river and was inspired by Davies's time spent as a child fishing with his father.

Background and composition

Ray Davies was inspired to compose "Sitting by the Riverside" after reminiscing about childhood fishing expeditions with his father. The song's narrator expresses his pleasure at sitting and drinking wine with his partner by the riverside, asking to "please keep me calm, keep me pacified" so he can enjoy the calming effect of the river. Author Johnny Rogan considers the song one of several by Davies about "the beauty of a quiet life", suggesting its mood of "lazy resignation" is reminiscent of "Sunny Afternoon" (1966). Author Rob Jovanovic considers the song, alongside "Animal Farm" and "Village Green", to be one of the most important thematically on The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society, all three of which he thinks convey imagery of simple village life.

"Sitting by the Riverside" is an example of psychedelia. It employs a Vaudeville-like tune and a light piano arrangement. The narrator closing his eyes results in a rush of overwhelming memories and fear, accompanying which is a swelling cacophony. A section of rising dissonance between verses serves to briefly undermine the idyllic mood, before cutting back to the pleasant feeling of the verse.

Recording and release

The Kinks recorded "Sitting by the Riverside" in July1968 in Pye Studio 2, one of two basement studios at Pye Records' London offices. Davies is credited as the song's producer, while Pye's in-house engineer Brian Humphries operated the four-track mixing console. The recording features honky-tonk piano and a Mellotron – a tape-loop-based keyboard instrument – which duplicates the sound of an accordion. The dissonant section between verses features rising piano strings. Its wordless chorus and orchestral crescendo are reminiscent of the Beatles' song "A Day in the Life", something Rogan writes was typical of songs recorded soon after the 1967 release of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

The Kinks lip-synced "Sitting by the Riverside" for the programme Colour Me Pop on BBC Two's Late Night Line-Up on 22 July 1968. While the studio version of the song was recorded in July1968, Davies did not include it on the twelve-track edition of The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society, planned for release in September1968. After he delayed the album's release by two months to expand its track listing to fifteen, it was among the songs he added. Pye released Village Green in the UK on 22 November 1968, sequencing "Sitting by the Riverside" as the final song on side one.

In a retrospective assessment, Morgan Enos of Billboard magazine placed the song second last in a ranking of the album's songs, writing that it rated above "Monica" only because it displayed more thematic relevance to the Village Green concept. By contrast, authors Neville Marten and Jeff Hudson consider it one of the album's most memorable songs, displaying "Davies' voice is at its languid best".

Tornø (meaning Thorn Island) is a small island in the Odense Fjord, roughly  northeast of the city of Odense, in Kerteminde Municipality, Funen, Denmark. It covers an area of  and is connected to the mainland by a -long causeway. The first tenant farmer on the island was Hans Eriksen in 1921.

For years the island could only be reached by riding or driving through the shallow waters but after Anders Jørgensen bought the island in 1922, he connected it to the mainland by road so that he could transport shells from the island. The link was completed in 1926. His shell crushing plant has long disappeared but the land is still farmed on Odense Fjord's only inhabited island. The original farm has long been replaced by a modern brick building.  the island had a population of 3 people, with 4 people reported in 2014, although the island is inaccessible to the general public. It contains a narrow strip of salt marsh.

title: Cephaloflexa

text:
Cephaloflexa is a genus of land planarians from Brazil.

Description
The genus Cephaloflexa is characterized by the presence of a cephalic retractor muscle not associated with cephalic glands. Due to this muscle, the head in species of  Cephaloflexa is rolled upwards or backwards similarly to Choeradoplana. The main external feature to distinguish Cephaloflexa from Choeradoplana is the presence of two “cushions” on the ventral side of the head of the latter.
The copulatory apparatus of Cephaloflexa lacks a permanent penis papilla.

Etymology
The name Cephaloflexa comes from the Greek word κεφαλή (head) and the Latin word flexus (bending).

Species
There are three described species in the genus Cephaloflexa:
Cephaloflexa araucariana Carbayo & Leal-Zanchet, 2003
Cephaloflexa bergi (Graff, 1899)
Cephaloflexa nataliae (Froehlich, 1959)

title: Emeran Mayer

text:
Emeran Anton Mayer (born July 26, 1950 in Traunstein, Germany) is a gastroenterologist, lecturer, author, editor, neuroscientist, documentary filmmaker and a professor in the Departments of Medicine, Physiology and Psychiatry at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. He is a pioneer of medical research into brain gut interactions

Early years
Mayer became interested in mind–brain–body interactions in health and chronic disease as a college student at Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich, which inspired his decision to go to medical school at Ludwig Maximilian University Medical School His interest in documentary filmmaking galvanized this fascination and resulted in his journeys to the Yanoama tribes in the Orinoco region, and the Asmat people in Irian Jaya. There, he filmed and studied native healers while exploring his suspicion that the interactions between the gut and the brain transcend culture and time.

Career

Mayer's research career began at the Institute of Physiology in Munich, with a dissertation on the mechanisms by which the brain affects coronary blood flow in the heart during psychological stress. After moving to the US, he completed his specialty training as a gastroenterologist at UCLA and from then on focused his work on basic, translational, and clinical aspects of brain gut interactions. He has 40 years of experience studying clinical and neurobiological aspects of how the digestive and nervous systems interact in health and disease. In the United States Mayer's research has continuously been funded by federal grants from  National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants.

Mayer is a Distinguished Research Professor and the Executive Director of the Oppenheimer Family Center for Neurobiology of Stress, and Co-director of the CURE: Digestive Diseases Research Center at UCLA. He has published more than 370 scientific papers (h-index 115), and co edited 3 scientific books.  He is the recipient of the 2016 David McLean award from the American Psychosomatic Society and the 2017 Ismar Boas Medal from the German Society of Gastroenterology and Metabolic Disease.
As one of the pioneers and leading researchers in the role of mind-brain-body interactions in health and chronic disease, his scientific contributions to U.S. national and international communities in the broad area of basic and translational enteric neurobiology with wide-ranging applications in clinical GI diseases and disorders is unparalleled. By incorporating microbiome science into his longstanding interest in brain gut interactions, he has been studying the role of the gut microbiome in influencing brain structure and function, as he explained on National Public Radio. Dr. Mayer spoke at UCLA TEDx on The Mysterious Origins of Gut Feelings. In addition to his longstanding research into the pathophysiology of irritable bowel syndrome, his funded research efforts have expanded into the areas of cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease, food addiction and obesity, inflammatory bowel disorders such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. His research efforts into these brain gut diseases have been closely linked to his strong belief in the concept of One Health, which closely links individual health, with health of the microbiome in our gut and in the soil, health of the plants and the planet. Mayer has a longstanding interest in ancient healing traditions and affords them a level of respect rarely found in Western Medicine. He has personally practiced different mind based strategies, including Zen meditation, Ericksonian hypnosis, and autogenic training and his approach to patients is based on an integrative medicine concept of the close bidirectional interactions between mind, brain, body and the environment.

title: Nicolaes van Loo

text:
Nicolaes van Loo (1607 – 1641), was a Dutch Golden Age brewer from Haarlem, best known today for his portrait by Frans Hals.

Biography

He was born in Haarlem as the oldest son of the brewer Johan Claesz Loo and Margriet Akersloot. Their family brewery was situated in the Vissersbocht on the Spaarne river and was called De Drie Lelien. Nicolaes' brother Cornelis became mayor of Haarlem and his sister Risje married the son of the mayor of Delft, Florens Pieter van der Houff. Nicolaes was destined to inherit the family business, and in expectation of a merger with another local brewery, in 1640 he married Aletta Hannemans, the rich widow of the brewer Jacob Pietersz Olycan, but he died the following year, leaving his widow to carry on the business without him.

title: Sweet Amarillo

text:
"Sweet Amarillo" is a song written by Donna Terry Weiss. Brenda Patterson released the song on her 1974 album "Like Good Wine".

Bob Dylan sang a brief version of the song during a 1973 recording sessions for the Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid soundtrack.
Donna Weiss and Brenda Patterson were also singing at the session.

Donna Weiss performed the song several occasions on the second leg of Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue concert tour.

The Old Crow Medicine Show (OCMS) released a version on July 1, 2014 on their Remedy album. Bob Dylan asked Ketch Secor of OCMS to finish the song, and after OCMS sent their demo to Bob, Ketch recalls "…So I finished the song with Old Crow, and we sent it back to Bob and he said, ‘Hey, that sounds great, but I think Ketch should play the fiddle, not the harmonica, and I think the chorus needs to come in at the eighth bar, not the 16th.’ We did exactly what Bob said, and it's like the song sprouted wings and flew."

text:
During the 2014–15 season, AZ competed in the Eredivisie for the 17th consecutive season and the KNVB CUP under new manager Marco van Basten, and then John van den Brom after Van Basten relinquished his role after health issues, becoming assistant to Van den Brom. Under Gertjan Verbeek and Dick Advocaat the previous season, AZ lost their title of KNVB Cup to PEC Zwolle after being eliminated in the semi-finals by eventual league winners Ajax and finishing eighth in the league.

Background
Following the 2013–14 season in which AZ broke their record for most competitive games in a season (58)  which started in the KNVB Cup on 27 July 2013 (an extra time loss to Ajax) and ended in the Eredivisie UEFA Europa League play-offs (3–0 loss to Groningen).

During this run of 58 games, Gertjan Verbeek was sacked and Dick Advocaat was brought out of retirement to replace Verbeek until the end of the season. The club finished in 8th and lost at the final stages of the play-offs for European football.

League results were inconsistent, although the club managed to make the quarter-finals of the 2013–14 UEFA Europa League, playing Atromitos, PAOK, Maccabi Haifa, Shakhter Karagandy, Slovan Liberec, Anzhi Makhachkala before being eliminated by Benfica.

Pre-season friendlies
AZ's pre-season began on 30 June with their first training session and consisted of seven official matches which started with an away friendly match on 5 July 2014 against Dutch amateurs SVW '27 from Heerhugowaard, just outside Alkmaar, and amateur club AFC '34 from Alkmaar.

Following the games against amateur opposition the club played a friendly with the full AZ squad, with two teams (blue and red) where both teams were mixed with regular first team players.

Then followed a weeks training camp in Epe, Netherlands where AZ played their first games against professional teams in the pre-season; they played reserves against NEC, newly relegated from the Eredivisie, on the Saturday and then on Sunday fielded a full strength team against Gabala FK of Azerbaijan on the final day of the training camp.

After the training camp in Epe, AZ had a specially arranged friendly against Eerste Divisie side VVV to celebrate exactly 60th anniversary since the two teams first met in a competitive game. This special fixture had silverware to be won in the form of the Herman Teeuwen Bokkal, a pre-season competition organised by VVV to play larger teams for the trophy named after the legendary VVV player and scout Herman Teeuwen. After VVV winning against OFI Crete last year on this occasion AZ were victorious and awarded the cup;here is the AZ captain, Nemanja Gudelj, with the trophy.

After winning silverware, AZ agreed to play a friendly against German Bundesliga side 1899 Hoffenheim as part of their training camp in Switzerland. The final match of pre-season has been arranged for 1 August on the training field outside AFAS Stadion and will once again feature players from just the AZ squad. This game featured the squad wearing their new kits for the forthcoming season. The white (away) kit was worn by fringe members of the squad and black (away) kits were worn by the reserve and under-19 AZ players. This concluded the pre-season with only eight days remaining until the Eredivisie season opener against Heracles Almelo away.

title: The Pitchfork Review

text:
The Pitchfork Review was an American quarterly music magazine, available in print only, that included long-form feature stories, photography, and illustrations, and also included selected recent pieces from Pitchfork's online content. The magazine ended after 11 issues in November 2016.

Launch
In December 2013, Pitchfork Media debuted The Pitchfork Review, a quarterly print journal focused on long-form music writing and design-focused content. J.C. Gabel, its first editor, had been the publisher of The Chicagoan and founding publisher of Stop Smiling.

According to the New York Times, Pitchfork Media planned a limited-edition quarterly publication of about 10,000 copies of each issue, perfect bound, and printed on glossy, high-quality 8-by-10¼ paper. It was expected that about two-thirds of the content would be original, with the remaining one-third recycled from the Pitchfork website.

Covering the launch, the International Business Times likened the publication's literary aspirations to The New Yorker and Paris Review, and editorialized: But as impressive as it is, is it a step back in time for a brand more known for looking ahead? Perhaps, but that doesn't mean it's a step backwards; rather, it can be seen as a show of confidence. And there is reason to believe it could turn a profit. Print still has a currency, in terms of perception and ad revenue, and a well-produced print glossy can still resonate with readers in a way that pixels can't.

The Hollywood Reporter quoted the magazine's creative director as saying that moving into print was "not a nostalgic move, because print has never left our lives," adding that Pitchfork's goal was to "create a permanent object of a moment through music journalism and documentation... a compendium of what we'll remember from the last few months and what's going through our minds as music fans right now."

Converse was secured as an exclusive advertising partner for the first four issues, and agreed to sponsor a series of 7-inch records included with the 2014 issues of the publication, beginning with No. 2.

title: Jamal ul-Alam Badr ul-Munir

text:
Jamal ul-Alam Badr ul-Munir (died after 1736) was the twentieth Sulṭān of Acèh Darussalam in northern Sumatra and the third ruler of the Arab Jamal ul-Lail Dynasty. He ruled from 1703 to 1726 when he was deposed.

Taking the throne

The future sultan, originally called Alauddin, was the son of Sultan Badr ul-Alam Syarif Hasyim Jamaluddin who was deposed in 1702 and died shortly after. Alauddin arose as a dangerous rival to his uncle Perkasa Alam Syarif Lamtui who had taken the throne. Perkasa Alam was deposed in June 1703. After an interregnum of two months Alauddin was acknowledged as sultan under the name Jamal ul-Alam Badr al-Munir. The beginning of his reign was prosperous and the sultan stood out as a righteous ruler. A lot of rich merchants stayed in Aceh and the wealthiest was reportedly a Dutchman called Daniël. The sultan did not have the right to conduct trade, but could harvest 10% of the value of imported goods. He first stayed in fortress Dar ud Dunya in the capital Kutaraja, but in 1706 he moved the court to Melayu.

Affairs with Europeans

According to the Dutch East India Company, which dominated part of the west coast of Sumatra, the sultan planned to regain Dutch possessions that had once belonged to Aceh. In 1712 he supposedly prepared an armada which would subjugate the coast land down to Padang. In the same year he vainly asked the sultan of Johor to assist him in attacking Dutch Melaka. Nothing came out of these plans; Aceh no longer possessed the military capacity of the days of Iskandar Muda. With improved security in the Acehnese homeland the sultan strove to expand commercial relations with the British who had posts in Madras in India and Bengkulu on Sumatra. At this time many Acehnese traders visited the coasts of India. In 1709 Jamal ul-Alam invited British merchants from Madras to come to Aceh. The suggestion was favourably received and many British ships appeared there in the next years. However, the British trade on Aceh declined from 1716 to 1730. One reason was that the Chinese had begun to avoid Aceh in favour of the more attractive Riau Archipelago south of the Malay Peninsula. With decreasing incomes from trade Jamal ul-Alam tried to tighten control over commerce and port duties all over Aceh. This would soon lead to serious internal turbulence.

Loss of power

After a few years Batubara fell away from the sultan. Jamal ul-Alam sent troops to quell the uprising but failed. According to a story, the chiefs of Batubara feigned submission and sent poisoned young coconuts to the sultan who drank the juice without suspicion. He fell ill and immediately withdrew from the campaign, soon followed by his armada. The rebels now fortified Batubara against possible further attacks. One chronicle alleges that Jamal ul-Alam's popularity sank since he used African retainers who performed much mischief in Aceh.

Two years after the defection of Batubara the sultan visited the XXII Mukims, one of the three sagis (regions) in which Aceh was divided. The secret purpose was to imprison Muda Setia, the panglima (headman) of the sagi whom the sultan disliked. The plans leaked out, however; Muda Setia fled and collected substantial troops to withstand Jamal ul-Alam. A battle was fought which ended with the complete defeat of the sultan's troops. Jamal ul-Alam had to seek refuge in a fortress and discussed with his counselors what to do. One of them, Panglima Maharaja, advised him to leave for a safer part of Aceh and employ the loyal Buginese Maharaja Lela as commander in the fort until order had been restored. The sultan heeded the advice and fled to Pidie in November 1726.

After abdication

After some chaos Panglima Maharaja took power as Jauhar ul-Alam but died almost immediately. After another short reign, Maharaja Lela was enthroned as Alauddin Ahmad Syah. He still had great respect for the deposed Jamal ul-Alam since he was a sayyid, a descendant of the Prophet. When Alauddin Ahmad Syah died in 1735, the ex-ruler Jamal ul-Alam was invited back to Kutaraja by the uleëbalangs (chiefs) to deliberate about a new sultan. The meeting ended in a rift; the XXII Mukims and XXV Mukims accepted Alauddin Ahmad Syah's eldest son Alauddin Johan Syah as sultan, while the XXVI Mukims preferred Jamal ul-Alam. The foremost champion of Alauddin Johan Syah was his youngest brother Pocut Muhammad. In spite of his brother's admonitions not to harm a descendant of the Prophet, Pocut Muhammad waged war on Jamal ul-Alam; this is the topic of the well-known Acehnese epic Hikayat Pocut Muhammad. After a defeat at Kampong Jawa, Jamal ul-Alam barely escaped by wearing women's cloths. He died some time later in Kampong Kandang and was buried there.

title: Space Shuttle: A Journey into Space

text:
Space Shuttle: A Journey into Space is a space flight simulator game designed by Steve Kitchen for the Atari 2600 and published by Activision in 1983. It is one of the first realistic spacecraft simulations available for home systems.  Space Shuttle was adapted to the Atari 8-bit family and Atari 5200  by Bob Henderson (1984), then ported to the ZX Spectrum (1984), Commodore 64 (1984), Amstrad CPC (1986), and MSX (1986). The 1984 Activision Software catalog also mentions an Apple II version.

The player controls the most critical flight phases of the Space Shuttle such as launch, stabilizing orbit, docking, deorbit burn, reentry, and landing, each with its own set of instructions to follow. The original Atari 2600 version came with an overlay since it made use of all the switches.

Reception
In an April 1984 review for Video Games magazine, Dan Persons wrote:
Space Shuttle is not a game for everybody. It requires a considerable amount of patience and, perhaps not too surprisingly, a considerable amount of brainpower. Players who seek the visceral thrills of the standard shoot'em-up may ultimately find this simulation's complexity frustrating. But those of you who are ready for a richer, more sophisticated experience will probably recognize Space Shuttle for the monumental achievement it is.
