Franchise history
Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) is a professional kabaddi league in India, based on the format of the Indian Premier League tournament. The first edition of the tournament was played in 2014 with eight franchises representing various cities in India. Bengal Warriors is a Kolkata based franchise owned by Future Group, promoted by Kishore Biyani. The team had poor campaign in the first two seasons. The team's performance, however improved from the third season as they qualified for the playoffs in 2016. But again after a disappointing season in the 2016 Pro Kabaddi League season (June), they totally revamped their squad. After that, the team has consistently qualified for the playoffs in 2017, 2018 and in 2019 respectively. In 2019, they qualified to the PKL final for the first time in their history by beating U Mumba in The Arena. In the final, against  Dabang Delhi, they were trailing on 3–11 at one stage. However they made a strong comeback and won the final by a 39-34 margin without their captain Maninder Singh who sustained a shoulder injury in the penultimate league stage. Thus they clinched their first ever PKL title.

title: Alexander Hay Japp

text:
Alexander Hay Japp (26 December 1836 – 29 September 1905) was a Scottish author, journalist and publisher.

Life
Born at Dun, Angus, on 26 December 1836, he was youngest son of Alexander Japp, a carpenter, by his wife Agnes Hay. After his father's early death, the mother and her family moved to Montrose, where he was educated at Milne's school. At seventeen Japp became a book-keeper with Messrs. Christie and Sons, tailors, at Edinburgh. Three years later he moved to London, and for two years was employed in the East India department of Smith, Elder and Co.

Returning to Scotland in poor health, he worked for Messrs. Grieve and Oliver, Edinburgh hatters, and in his leisure in 1860–1 attended classes at the university in metaphysics, logic, and moral philosophy. He became a double prizeman in rhetoric, and received from Professor William Edmondstoune Aytoun a special certificate of distinction; but he did not graduate.

At Edinburgh Japp associated with young artists, including John Pettie and his friends. Turning to journalism, he edited the Inverness Courier and the Montrose Review. Having settled in London in 1864, he joined  The Daily Telegraph for a short time. While writing for other papers, he acted as general literary adviser to the publishing firm of Alexander Strahan (later William Isbister &Co.), and assisted in editing their periodicals: Good Words, Sunday Magazine (from 1869 to 1879), and The Contemporary Review from 1866 to 1872, while Henry Alford was editor. He also assisted Robert Carruthers in the third edition of Chambers's Cyclopædia of English Literature.

In October 1880, Japp started as a publisher, under the style Marshall Japp and Co., at 17 Holborn Viaduct; but bad health and insufficient capital led him to make the venture over to T. Fisher Unwin in 1882. From that year to 1888 he was literary adviser to the firm of Hurst and Blackett. From 1884 till 1900 he lived at Elmstead, near Colchester, where he cultivated his taste for natural history. After three years in London he finally settled at Coulsdon, Surrey, in September 1903. There, busy to the last, he died on 29 September 1905, and was buried in Abney Park cemetery. He was made LL.D. of Glasgow University in 1879, and in 1880 was elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.

Relationship with Stevenson
Japp's interest in Henry Thoreau brought him the acquaintance of Robert Louis Stevenson. The two men met at Braemar in August 1881, and Japp's conversation attracted Stevenson and his father. Stevenson read to Japp the early chapters of Treasure Island, then called The Sea Cook, and Japp negotiated its publication in Young Folks. Subsequently Stevenson and Japp corresponded on intimate terms; and Japp's last work, Robert Louis Stevenson: a Record, an Estimate, and a Memorial (1905), was the result of their contacts.

Works
Japp was versatile and prolific writer, writing under pseudonyms such as "H. A. Page", "A. F. Scot", "E. Conder Gray", and "A. N. Mount Rose" as well as in his own name. In his own name he issued in 1865 Three Great Teachers of our own Time: Carlyle, Tennyson, and Ruskin, which Ruskin found perceptive. He issued a selection of Thomas de Quincey's Posthumous Works (vol. i. 1891; vol. ii. 1893) and De Quincey Memorials: being Letters and other Records here first published (1891).

As "H. A. Page" he published:

 The Memoir of Nathaniel Hawthorne (1872; with several uncollected contributions to American periodicals);
 an analytical Study of Thoreau (1878); and
 his major work, De Quincey: his Life and Writings, with Unpublished Correspondence (supplied by De Quincey's daughters) (2 vols. 1877; 2nd edit. 1879, revised edit. in one vol. 1890).

Japp tried many genres. Under a double pseudonym he issued in 1878 Lights on the Way (by "the late J. H. Alexander, B.A.", with explanatory note by "H. A. Page"), which was semi-autobiographical fiction. There followed:

 German Life and Literature (1880; studies of Lessing, Goethe, Moses Mendelssohn, Herder, Novalis, and other writers);
 Hours in my Garden, and Other Nature-Sketches (1893)
 three volumes of verse: The Circle of the Year: a Sonnet Sequence with Proem and Envoi (privately printed, 1893);
 Dramatic Pictures, English Rispetti, Sonnets and other Verses (1894);
 Adam and Lilith: a Poem in Four Parts (1899; by "A. F. Scot");
 Animal Anecdotes arranged on a New Principle (by "H. A. Page") (1887); it attempted to show that the faculties of certain animals differ in degree rather than in kind from those of men;
 Offering and Sacrifice: an Essay in Comparative Customs and Religious Development by "A. F. Scot" (1899);
 Some Heresies in Ethnology and Anthropology dealt with under his own name (1899);
 More Loose Links in the Darwinian Armour (1900);
 Our Common Cuckoo and Other Cuckoos and Parasitical Birds (1899), a criticism of the Darwinian view of parasitism; and
 Darwin Considered Mainly as Ethical Thinker (1901), criticism of the hypothesis of natural selection.

Family
Japp married twice:

 in 1863 Elizabeth Paul Falconer (died 1888), daughter of John Falconer of Laurencekirk in Kincardineshire;
 Eliza Love, of Scottish descent.

There were seven children of the first marriage.

title: Strategic environmental assessment

text:
Strategic environmental assessment (SEA) is a systematic decision support process, aiming to ensure that environmental and possibly other sustainability aspects are considered effectively in policy, plan and program making. In this context, following Fischer (2007) SEA may be seen as:

a structured, rigorous, participative, open and transparent environmental impact assessment (EIA) based process, applied particularly to plans and programmes, prepared by public planning authorities and at times private bodies,
a participative, open and transparent, possibly non-EIA-based process, applied in a more flexible manner to policies, prepared by public planning authorities and at times private bodies,
a flexible non-EIA based process, applied to legislative proposals and other policies, plans and programmes in political/cabinet decision-making.

Effective SEA works within a structured and tiered decision framework, aiming to support more effective and efficient decision-making for sustainable development and improved governance by providing for a substantive focus regarding questions, issues and alternatives to be considered in policy, plan and programme (PPP) making.

SEA is an evidence-based instrument, aiming to add scientific rigour to PPP making, by using suitable assessment methods and techniques. Ahmed and Sanchez Triana (2008) developed an approach to the design and implementation of public policies that follows a continuous process rather than as a discrete intervention.

History
The European Union Directive on Environmental Impact Assessments (85/337/EEC,also known as the EIA Directive) only applied to certain projects. This was seen as deficient as it only dealt with specific effects at the local level whereas many environmentally damaging decisions had already been made at a more strategic level (for example the fact that new infrastructure may generate an increased demand for travel).

The concept of strategic assessments originated from regional development / land use planning in the developed world. In 1981 the U.S. Housing and Urban Development Department published the Area-wide Impact Assessment Guidebook. In Europe the  Convention on Environmental Impact Assessment in a Transboundary Context the so-called Espoo Convention laid the foundations for the introduction of SEA in 1991. In 2003, the Espoo Convention was supplemented by a Protocol on Strategic Environmental Assessment.

The European SEA Directive 2001/42/EC required that all member states of the European Union should have ratified the Directive into their own country's law by 21 July 2004.

Countries of the EU started implementing the land use aspects of SEA first, some took longer to adopt the directive than others, but the implementation of the directive can now be seen as completed. Many EU nations have a longer history of strong Environmental Appraisal including Denmark, the Netherlands, Finland and Sweden. The newer member states to the EU have hurried in implementing the directive.

Relationship with environmental impact assessment
For the most part, an SEA is conducted before a corresponding EIA is undertaken. This means that information on the environmental impact of a plan can cascade down through the tiers of decision making and can be used in an EIA at a later stage. This should reduce the amount of work that needs to be undertaken. A handover procedure is foreseen.

Aims and structure
The SEA Directive only applies to plans and programmes, not policies, although policies within plans are likely to be assessed and SEA can be applied to policies if needed and in the UK certainly, very often is.

The structure of SEA (under the Directive) is based on the following phases:
 "Screening", investigation of whether the plan or programme falls under the SEA legislation,
 "Scoping", defining the boundaries of investigation, assessment and assumptions required,
 "Documentation of the state of the environment", effectively a baseline on which to base judgments,
 "Determination of the likely (non-marginal) environmental impacts", usually in terms of Direction of Change rather than firm figures,
 Informing and consulting the public,
 Influencing "Decision taking" based on the assessment and,
 Monitoring of the effects of plans and programmes after their implementation.

The EU directive also includes other impacts besides the environmental, such as material assets and archaeological sites. In most western European states this has been broadened further to include economic and social aspects of sustainability.

SEA should ensure that plans and programmes take into consideration the environmental effects they cause. If those environmental effects are part of the overall decision taking it is called Strategic Impact Assessment.

In the European Union
SEA is a legally enforced assessment procedure required by Directive 2001/42/EC (known as the SEA Directive). The SEA Directive aims at introducing systematic assessment of the environmental effects of strategic land use related plans and programs. It typically applies to regional and local, development, waste and transport plans, within the European Union. Some plans, such as finance and budget plans or civil defence plans are exempt from the SEA Directive, it also only applies to plans that are required by law, which excludes national government's plans and programs, as their plans are 'voluntary', whereas local and regional governments are usually required to prepare theirs.

United Kingdom
SEA within the UK is complicated by different Regulations, guidance and practice between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. In particular the SEA Legislation in Scotland (and in Northern Ireland, which specifically refers to the Regional Development Strategy) contains an expectation that SEA will apply to strategies as well as plans and programmes. In the UK, SEA is inseparable from the term 'sustainability', and an SEA is expected to be carried out as part of a wider Sustainability Appraisal (SA), which was already a requirement for many types of plan before the SEA directive and includes social, and economic factors in addition to environmental. Essentially an SA is intended to better inform decision makers on the sustainability aspects of the plan and ensure the full impact of the plan on sustainability is understood.

The United Kingdom in its strategy for sustainable development, A Better Quality of Life (May 1999), explained sustainable development in terms of four objectives. These are:

social progress which recognises the needs of everyone
effective protection of the environment
prudent use of natural resources
maintenance of high and stable levels of economic growth and employment.

These headline objectives are usually used and applied to local situations in order to assess the impact of the plan or program.

Internationally

The pan-European region
The Protocol on Strategic Environmental Assessment was negotiated by the member States of the UNECE (in this instance Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia). It required ratification by 16 States to come into force, which it did in July 2010. It is now open to all UN Member States. Besides its potentially broader geographical application (global), the Protocol differs from the corresponding European Union Directive in its non-mandatory application to policies and legislation – not just plans and programmes. The Protocol also places a strong emphasis on the consideration of health, and there are other more subtle differences between the two instruments.

New Zealand
SEA in New Zealand is part of an integrated planning and assessment process and unlike the US is not used in the manner of Environmental impact assessment.  The Resource Management Act 1991 has, as a principal objective, the aim of sustainable management. SEA is increasingly being considered for transportation projects.

The OECD DAC – SEA in development co-operation
Development assistance is increasingly being provided through strategic-level interventions, aimed to make aid more effective. SEA meets the need to ensure environmental considerations are taken into account in this new aid context. Applying SEA to development co-operation provides the environmental evidence to support more informed decision making, and to identify new opportunities by encouraging a systematic and thorough examination of development options.

The OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) Task Team on SEA has developed guidance on how to apply SEA to development co-operation. The document explains the benefits of using SEA in development co-operation and sets out key steps for its application, based on recent experiences.

The Lianhua Dam is a concrete-face rock-fill dam on the Mudan River in Linkou County of Heilongjiang Province, China. It is located about  north of Mudanjiang. The  tall dam serves several purposes to include hydroelectric power generation, flood control and water supply for irrigation. The dam withholds a large  capacity reservoir and supports a 550 MW power station. Construction on the dam began in November 1992 and its first 137.5 MW Francis turbine-generator was operational in December 1996. Two more generators were commissioned on 12 December 1997 and the remaining generator was commissioned on 28 September 1998. It is the first large modern water conservancy project in Heilongjiang. The dam's reservoir displaced 40,000 people and will serve as the lower reservoir for the Huanggou Pumped Storage Power Station when it is complete.

title: Elaine Bullard

text:
Elaine Rebecca Bullard MBE (1915–2011) was a British botanist who led systematic recording of the flora of the Orkney Islands and Caithness in the UK for over 50 years and raised awareness of conserving the natural habitat of the islands. In 1959 she was a founding member of the Orkney Field Club and was its president from 1993 until her death.

Scientific career
She explored the diverse habitats of the 39 islands of Orkney to record its flora, both flowering, and non-flowering plants such as ferns.  There are around 500 native plants and a further 200 have been introduced. She recorded not only species but hybrids and over more than half a century built up an unrivaled knowledge and record of Orcadian plant life. At times she travelled in a Robin Reliant three-wheeler which she had modified to so that it could act as a tent. She also made field records in the adjacent mainland region of Caithness to compare island and mainland. Her records, revisiting the same site over many years have provided the data to assess the impact of changes in land management and climate. She also campaigned for a repository for biological records of Orkney and was eventually successful when the Orkney Biodiversity Records Centre was founded. Her work inspired visiting academics, students and teachers over decades.

She was the Official Recorder of Orkney for the Botanical Society of the British Isles for 46 years (1963–2009), resigning this role when she was 93 years old.
Her scientific publications of papers, treatises and book chapters included work on the Scottish primrose (Primula scotica), endemic to Orkney and the north coast of Scotland. Her checklist of the flowering plants and ferns of Orkney, published in 1972 and subsequently up-dated, is the essential reference for the island's flora.

Personal life
From the age of 10, Elaine Bullard was interested in identifying plants. However, she was entirely a self-taught botanist. She moved to Orkney in 1946 as a milk recorder employed by the Milk Marketing Board. In 1960 she gave up this employment to concentrate on recording the plants of Orkney.

title: Crook Hall, Durham

text:
Crook Hall is a Grade I listed house built in the 13th or 14th to 18th centuries, located in the Framwelgate area of the City of Durham.

The oldest part is an open hall house dating from the 13th or 14th century, built in sandstone with a Welsh slate roof.  It is the only known domestic open hall in County Durham. In the 17th century the hall was extended to form a Jacobean manor house; then in the 18th century a large brick Georgian house was appended to the 17th-century wing, making up a house of 11 bays in all. It is surrounded by English country style gardens.

History

The Manor of Sydgate was granted in 1217 to Aimery, son of the then Archdeacon of Durham, from whose family it passed to Peter del Croke, after whom it is named. From him it passed to the Billingham family, who occupied the hall for some 300 years. In 1657 it passed to the Mickletons until it was bought in 1736 by the Hoppers of Shincliffe. Since then there has been a succession of different owners until it was bought in a semi-derelict condition by the Cassels in 1928. The building is reputedly haunted by the "White Lady".

In 1995, the property was bought by Keith and Maggie Bell who progressively opened the hall and gardens to the public, becoming a major wedding venue. Visitors from around the world come to wander around the gardens as well as the Hall. The gardens are seen as one of the best in the north of England. Keith Bell wrote a book in 2017 called Blood, Sweat and Scones – two decades at Crook Hall (). In it he describes their period of ownership, and the trials and tribulations of owning a Grade I listed building and creating a successful business/tourist attraction.

In June 2020 the property closed to the public as the business went into liquidation as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated lockdowns. The property was subsequently put on the market with a guide price of £1.8 million. On 28 March 2022, the National Trust announced that it had acquired the property, with the intention of re-opening it to visitors.

title: Partridge River (Ontario)

text:
The Partridge River is a river in northern Cochrane District in Northeastern Ontario, Canada. It is a tributary of James Bay situated in between the much larger drainage basins of the Moose River to the west and the Harricana River to the east.

Course
The river begins at Partridge Lake, adjacent to the much larger Kesagami Lake on the Kesagami River, part of Harricana River drainage basin. It exits the lake at the east and turns north, then jogs west through the Kanatotik Rapids before again heading north and passing around Blackbear Island. It continues north around Kaskagonagau Island and Mistikopileo Island, takes in the right tributary Little Partridge River, and reaches its mouth at James Bay.

title: Frederik Børsting

text:
Frederik Lindbøg Børsting (; born 13 February 1995) is a Danish professional footballer who plays for Norwegian First Division side SK Brann.

Club career

AaB
Børsting played for RKG Klarup until he was 12 years old, before joining AaB. He was promoted to the first team in the summer 2014. He got his Danish Superliga debut on 26 July 2014 when he was in the line-up against FC Midtjylland. Børsting was surprised over all the time he got in his first season at the first team. He played 19 league games and two Europe League games in his first season, which the player hadn't expected.

He quickly became a profile for both AaB and the Danish U21 national team. After a great 2015/16 season, he extended his contract in March 2016 until 2019.
Following his extension, he was part of the Denmark team at the 2016 Olympics and played all four matches until Denmark was eliminated in the quarter final.

Brann
On 15 February 2022 AaB confirmed, that Børsting would join Norwegian club SK Brann with effect from 1 July 2022, when his contract with AaB expired. However, the deal was accelerated when Brann confirmed on 9 March 2022 that Børsting would instead move to the club with immediate effect for a fee around 1,5 million DKK.

title: Virginia Barrier Islands

text:
The Virginia Barrier Islands are a continuous chain of long, narrow, low-lying, sand and scrub barrier islands separated from one another by narrow inlets and from the mainland by a series of shallow marshy tidal bays along the entire coast of the Virginia end of the Delmarva Peninsula. Several of these islands were once significantly larger, covered with pine forests, and inhabited. After the completion of the New York, Philadelphia and Norfolk Railroad in the late 19th Century, at least five lavish hunting and fishing clubs were established on Virginia's barrier islands and they became a playground for wealthy sportsmen from Northeastern cities who would arrive by train. US President Grover Cleveland visited Hog Island to hunt waterfowl and go fishing in the early 1890s.

Devastating hurricanes that struck the Delmarva Peninsula in 1896 and again in 1933 caused significant shoreline erosion, and completely flooded the islands killing the pine forests and damaging or destroying many structures.  Residents of the barrier islands began to leave for the mainland, in some cases taking their homes with them where they still stand today in the small towns of Willis Wharf and Oyster.  The sole remaining habitation on these islands, the town of Broadwater, Virginia, was evacuated in 1936 following another hurricane. Because they are uninhabited they form an important ecological region, and several make up the Virginia Coast Reserve.

The Virginia Barrier Islands terminate to the south at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay and are preceded to the north by Fenwick Island, a barrier spit, not a true island, spanning the Maryland and Delaware border (Transpeninsular Line). They are, in order from north to south:

Assateague Island - the first true barrier island from the north and the longest of the barrier islands. It is divided between Maryland and Virginia and is home to a feral horse population, the Chincoteague Pony.
Chincoteague Island- was a barrier island until the mid-19th Century, when Assateague migrated so far south that it shielded Chincoteague from the ocean.
Wallops Island - the base of NASA's Wallops Flight Facility.
Assawoman Island - part of Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge
Metompkin Island -split between the Nature Conservancy and Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge
Cedar Island - A former US Coast Guard station still stands on the island and is seasonally inhabited by its private owners. Despite the fact that the island was only accessible by boat, development began on Cedar Island in the 1970s and a number of lots were sold and approximately 35 summer cottages were built.  Almost immediately these beach houses became threatened by shoreline erosion.  The last private house on Cedar Island slipped into the sea in 2014.
Parramore Island - owned by the Nature Conservancy.
Hog Island - location of the former town of Broadwater, Virginia. Origin of the Hog Island Sheep.
Cobb Island - once also inhabited with a resort hotel, church, and small town, until the 1896 hurricane.  Coast Guard Station Cobb Island was decommissioned in 1964. The island is now split in two due to erosion.
Wreck Island
Shipshoal Island
Myrtle Island
Smith Island - once held by the Custis family of Virginia. Martha Custis Washington owned the island, as did her great-granddaughter, whose husband Robert E. Lee gave an account of the island after inspecting it in 1832 while stationed at nearby Fort Monroe. It hosts the Cape Charles Lighthouse, the tallest lighthouse in Virginia and the second tallest in the United States.  Smith Island is now owned by the Nature Conservancy.
Fisherman Island- is the southernmost of the Virginia barrier islands. Located at the entrance to the Chesapeake Bay, the island is subject to great changes in its landscape due to waves and runoff. It first formed approximately 200 to 250 years ago. Fisherman Island National Wildlife Refuge is located within the United States Fish and Wildlife Service's Eastern Shore of Virginia National Wildlife Refuge, and is bisected by U.S. Highway 13 and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. The island is the habitat of migratory waterfowl, shorebirds, and nesting waterbirds.

title: Sporadic late-onset nemaline myopathy

text:
Sporadic late-onset nemaline myopathy, or SLONM, is a very rare disease, one of the nemaline myopathies, causing loss of muscle bulk and weakness in the legs but sparing the cranial nerves, and beginning its clinical course after age 40.  It was first identified in 1966 at the Mayo Clinic, by A.G. Engel, and that same year W.K. Engel and J.S. Resnick noted another case that they elaborated in 1975.  The diagnosis of the disease rests on subacutely evolving weakness after age 40, normal to low CK level, a myopathic EMG with fibrillations, and often a monoclonal gammopathy.  The diagnosis is confirmed by visualizing rods in cryosections on light and electron microscopy.  The associated monoclonal gammopathy has an unfavorable prognosis.

Presentation
Weakness in a limb-girdle distribution, hips and shoulders, after age 40 is generally the first symptom.  Sometimes the weakness is predominantly distal.  Head drop may also be a presenting symptom.  Dysphagia may occur, as can respiratory insufficiency.

Pathophysiology
The etiology is unknown.  Some cases of SLONM have been comorbid with HIV infection, and others with immune disorders, and so both a viral trigger and an autoimmune disorder have been considered candidate etiologies.  The monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance (MGUS) associated with a worse prognosis also argues for an immune disorder.  On electron microscopy, nemaline bodies within the affected muscle fibers may be found.  These bodies are sometimes crisply rod-shaped, but can also be irregular and punctate.  The rods may be found alongside atrophic muscle fibers, and may be seen arising from the thickened Z-discs of the sarcolemmae.  Affected fibers may be vacuolated or lobulated.

Diagnosis

The myopathic EMG demonstrates fibrillation potentials.  The serum CK level will be normal or low normal.  The muscle biopsy will demonstrate the nemaline rods, but as they are less than 1 µm in length they are easily overlooked.  The sections must be trichromatically stained and sectioned at a thickness of 2 to 4 µm for effective visualization.  Immunostains for myotilin and α-actinin all but clinch the diagnosis.  However, nemaline rods may still be visible post-mortem in neurosarcoidosis, which may remain on the differential.  Generally the outcome is grim, with respiratory insufficiency the cause of death.

Treatment
Rehabilitation for muscle strengthening can be useful in alleviating symptoms.  Improvement has been noted in two HIV-negative individuals treated with immunoglobulin (IViG) agents.  Improvement has also been noted with autologous stem cell transplantation, and chemotherapy with melphalan.

title: Joseph Zoundeiko

text:
General Joseph Zoundeiko (or Zindeko) (died 11 February 2017) was the leader of military wing of the Central African rebel militia alliance, Séléka.

Life
Born in Tiringoulou, Vakaga, he worked as a guard and tracker, securing parklands on the northwestern borders of the country from poachers from neighboring Chad and South Sudan. He joined the CAR army in 1997 and was promoted to lieutenant. In 2006, he joined the UFDR rebel group. President Djototia later promoted him to major, then colonel and brigadier general. He was appointed on May 9, 2014 by a Seleka congress that gathered more than 500 officers and officials in N'Délé. He has rejected the ceasefire deal agreed between Seleka and the largely Christian Anti-balaka militias on July 24, 2014, saying the deal had been negotiated without proper input from the military wing. After the dissolution of Seleka, he became head of the Popular Front for the Renaissance of the Central African Republic (FPRC) and often fought with the largely Fulani and rival ex-Seleka militia, the Union for Peace in the Central African Republic (UPC) led by General Ali Darrassa. The FPRC reported on 12 February 2017 that Zoundeiko was killed when a UN helicopter fired on fighters advancing towards the town of Bambari the day before.

The Camden to Washington Road-Rosston Segment is a historic early 19th-century road section in rural Nevada County, Arkansas.  It is located east of Rosston in Poison Spring State Forest, and is a former portion of County Road 10 extending east from that road's junction with County Road 47 (Kirk Road).  The road was first cut c. 1825, and was never paved or given modern finishing, despite its continued use well into the 20th century.  A crossing at Cypress Creek has been compromised by the activities of beavers, and the road is no longer completely passable, possibly excepting high-clearance off-road vehicles.  The road section is the one of the only sections of the historic post road which connected Washington and Camden to retain its 19th-century character.

The road section was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.  The Carolina Methodist Church is located on this section of road.

title: Pablo Guerrero

text:
Pablo Guerrero (born 18 October 1946 in Esparragosa de Lares) is a Spanish singer-songwriter, lyricist, and poet from Extremadura in Spain.

Guerrero  uses traditional harmonies and melodies from Extremadura, with flamenco, American folk music, rock, and jazz influences. In the mid-1980s he introduced African rhythms and rhythms from other cultures, including avant-garde styles such as minimalism, ambient, electronic, and random music.  Guerrero has published poetry continuously since 1988.

Guerrero has lived in Madrid since the late 1960s.

Es el amor del agua cuando quiere,
salvar la sed del hombre,
y deshoja su aroma,
en los campos blanqueados,
por la flor del espino.

Es el amor del agua, la memoria,
que hace vivos los cuerpos,
que hace vivas las nubes,
que hace vivas las selvas.

Pablo Guerrero - (fragmento del poema; «El amor del agua»).

It's the love of water when it wants
to slake mans’ thirst
and shed her scent
in the bleached fields
by the hawthorn flower.

It is love of water, the memory
that brings life to bodies
that brings life to clouds
that brings life to jungles
(…)
Pablo Guerrero (from The Love of Water)

Background
Guerrero was born into an family of small landowners on 18 October 1946 in Esparragosa de Lares in  Badajoz.  He attended public school, "Virgen de la Cueva", in his village.  . After finishing high school in Badajoz, he studied Teaching in Sigüenza (Guadalajara) .

At the age of 16, Guerrero received his first guitar as a gift and began playing music with an amateur group from his school.  They performed songs from Los Bravos and Los Brincos. He also played songs by Georges Moustaki, Jorge Cafrune, Joan Baez, Massiel, and the Dynamic Duo.

Guerrero went to Madrid to study liberal arts, specifically Literature, while at about the same time, he began to sing, but without any professional intentions, but continued to train as a musician by attending private classes. His poetic interests continued to develop with readings by Pablo Neruda, Blas de Otero, Luis Cernuda, José Ángel Valente and José Agustín Goytisolo during 1969-1978.

Early career

In 1969 Gerrero presented himself at the Benidorm Festival with the song Amapolas y Espigas (trans: Poppies and Wheat Spikes [espiga: wheat still on the stalk]).  The song won first prize for best lyrics and second prize overall. In his early days as a singer, Guerrero researched Extremadura folklore.  After his success in Benidorm, he had to combine his career as a singer with teaching, apart from his studies of Philosophy and Letters (Hispanic Philology and Hispanic Literature).

With help from Manolo Diaz, Guerrero recorded on the Action label his first single, with arrangements by Ramón Farrán. The A-side was Amapolas y Espigas  and the B-side was Carro y Camino.

Guerrero's second single, arranged by Carlos Montero, was Son Hombres Que Se Mueren Sin Haber Visto La Mar (Tr: They are Men Who Have Died Without Having Seen the Sea) and Por una calle de Cáceres (A Street in Cáceres). His next had the same musical group and continued the countryside theme in the songs; Junto al Guadiana (Next to the Guadiana) and Al Pasar Po'l Arroyo (Passing by the Stream), with lyrics by the poet Luis Chamizo Trigueros. In Guerrero's fourth single, the arrangements of Benito Lauret included a large orchestra and choirs. The orchestrated songs are: Y Los Demás Se Fueron (And the Others Left) and Pequeño Propietario (Small Landowner), which can be considered as Pablo Guerrero's first social protest song.

Guerrero set Miguel Hernández’s poems to music on a record that was to be called Tierra.  However, the Francoist Spain regime blocked the recording due to its political nature.

During the  cultural scene of the late-sixties and early-seventies, Guerrero was influenced by Joan Manuel Serrat, Luis Eduardo Aute, Lluís Llach, Raimon, Maria del Mar Bonet, Amália Rodrigues. José Afonso,  Georges Moustaki, Jacques Brel, and South Americans Daniel Viglietti and Jorge Cafrune. He also liked the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and the lyrics of Lou Reed.

La Cantata del Exilio: ¿Cuándo llegaremos a Sevilla? album
In 1970 Guerrero collaborated as a singer in the recording of the album La Cantata del Exilio: ¿Cuándo llegaremos a Sevilla?  (Tr: Song of the Exile: When Will We Arrive in Seville?)  The lyrics were written by Antonio Gómez – a professional journalist and the ideological leader of the group, Canción del Pueblo, with music by Antonio Resines.. Guerrero  sings Dulce Muchacha.  The album was not published until 1978, however.

A Cántaros album
In 1972, Guerrero recorded his first LP, A Cántaros. The song of the same name had a quite long subtitle ("Tú y yo, muchacha, estamos hechos de nubes") . A Cántaros was Guerrero's first album with an urban theme.

The guitarist and arranger, Nacho Sáenz de Tejada (ex-member of Nuestro Pequeño Mundo), used Spanish acoustic guitars and electric guitar on two tracks. Juan Alberto Arteche, another member of Nuestro Pequeño Mundo played percussion, and Guerrero played guitars and percussions. The album was completed with the musicians José González on the organ and piano, José Maria Panizo on bass, Alex Kirschner on flute with Sáenz de Tejada, Quintanilla on violoncello and Carmen Sarabia's choirs.

This album, A Cántaros, shows the influence of American folk musicians: Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, Bob Dylan, and especially Leonard Cohen.

Pablo Guerrero at the Olympia album
On 2 March 1975 Guerrero recorded a live album at the Olympia Theatre in Paris entitled, Pablo Guerrero at the Olympia. It was  released by Movieplay's Gong label. On it, Guerrero sings and plays the Spanish guitar,  accompanied by  Nacho Sáenz de Tejada on guitar and t Miguel Ángel Chastang on double bass. The album contains previously released songs such as Buscándonos, Hoy Que Te Amo, and the popular A Cántaros.  Unreleased songs included Busca La Gente de Mañana, Ecos de Sociedad and Emigrante, along with two acapella songs, a work song called Trilla, and Extremadura. It was one of Pablo Guerrero's best-selling albums during the 1970s.

After Olympia, Guerrero performed in the Ducal Palace in Venice, Italy. He also performed in Germany. Afterward, he toured throughout Spain.

Porque Amamos El Fuego album
In February 1976, Guerrero recorded Porque Amamos El Fuego (Tr: Why We Love The Fire) for Movieplay,  produced by Gonzalo García Pelayo. Musically this album incorporates jazz with popular music from Extremadura. It features musicians Nacho Sáenz de Tejada and Jean Pierre Torlois on acoustic and electric guitars,  jazz musicians Miguel Ángel Chastang and Antonio Perucho on double-bass and electric bass, and drums and percussion, respectively, and Antonio Pascual on keyboards. Jorge Pardo collaborated with the flute and tenor sax and Antonio Fernández played the acoustic guitar in No Estés Así (Don’t Be Like That).

Guerrero put the poem "Por Debajo Del Agua" by José Ángel Valente to music.  Guerrero also paid tribute to  Rafael Alberti in the song Ven Alberti. The musical score in Teo is composed by the singer-songwriters and arrangers, Hilario Camacho and P. Guerrero. Even though the characters that populate Guerrero's songs are usually poor and marginal while love, freedom, and hope are present throughout the album. The song Un Rincón De Sol En La Cabeza was dedicated to the Carnation Revolution of April 25, 1975, in Portugal Guerrero still performs the love song Dulce Muchacha Triste (Sweet Sad Little Girl).

A Tapar La Calle album
In December 1977, Guerrero recorded the studio album A Tapar La Calle for Movieplay, produced by Gonzalo García Pelayo, and released in 1978. The song, A Tapar La Calle, which gave the album its name, was originally a popular song from Extremadura. Guerrero transformed into a song about freedom to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the May 1968 protests in France.

A Tapar La Calle is an approach towards flamenco from the popular roots of Extremadura.  The guitar arpeggios derive from flamenco, but the harmonies, on the other hand, are of Extremaduran roots. In this totally acoustic album, the flamenco guitarist Miguel de Córdoba exerts a certain influence. The musicians included Nacho Sáenz de Tejada: flamenco guitar y mandolin; Juan Alberto Arteche: buzuki y mandolin; Miguel Ángel Chastang: contrabass; and Javier Estrella: percussion.

Protest songs on the album include: Paraiso Ahora, A Tapar La Calle and Predicción De La Fiesta. Renewed love is found in Enredado Entre Tu Pelo, Ronda Del Anillo Dentro Del Agua, Una Tarde (lyrics by José Domínguez) and Si Volvieras Otra Vez, and Canción Ritual Que Habla de España, among others.

title: 1975 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe

text:
The 1975 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe was a horse race held at Longchamp on Sunday 5 October 1975. It was the 54th running of the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.

The winner was Waldemar Zeitelhack's Star Appeal, a five-year-old horse trained in West Germany by Theo Grieper and ridden by  Greville Starkey. The owner, trainer and jockey were all recording their first success in the race. Star Appeal was the first German-trained horse to win the Arc. Star Appeal started at odds of 119/1, the longest ever recorded for a winner of the race.

The contenders
In French racing, horses in the same ownership are usually "coupled" and treated as a single entry for betting purposes. The favourite for the race was the five-year-old mare Allez France, winner of the race in 1974. The other leading French contenders included the three-year-olds Ivanjica, (winner of the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches and Prix Vermeille) and Green Dancer (Observer Gold Cup, Poule d'Essai des Poulains), who were coupled in the betting as both were owned by Jacques Wertheimer and trained by Alec Head. Nelson Bunker Hunt was represented by the multiple Group One winner Dahlia and the three-year-old filly Nobiliary, the winner of the Prix Saint Alary and runner-up in the Epsom Derby. The most fancied of the international challengers were the British colt Bruni, winner of the St Leger Stakes, and the Italian-trained four-year-old Duke of Marmalade. The United States was represented by the Hollywood Derby winner Intrepid Hero, and West Germany sent Star Appeal, an Irish-bred five-year-old who had won the Eclipse Stakes in July. Allez France headed the betting at odds of 1.75/1, with Green Dancer/Ivanjica on 3.25/1, Bruni on 4.5/1, Nobiliary/Dahlia on 8.75/1 and Duke of Marmalade on 9.5/1. Star Appeal started the complete outsider of the twenty-four runners at odds of 119/1.

The race
Citoyen went to the front soon after the start with Olmeto in second. Nobilary, Dahlia, Carolus, Un Kopeck and Allez France were also in contention in the early stages. At half distance the field bunched and there was a good deal of bumping and interference. Dahlia stumbled and lost any chance, whilst Allez France also lost ground. Nobiliary led the field into the straight ahthe ead of Un Kopeck, Kasteel, Bruni and Duke of Marmalade. Comtesse de Loir produced a strong run along the rail to head Nobiliary but was immediately overtaken by Star Appeal who burst through "like greased lightning" having been among the back markers for most of the way. In the final 100 metres, Star Appeal drew away to win by three lengths from another fast-finishing outsider On My Way. Comtesse de Loir was another two and a half lengths back in third, followed by Un Kopeck, Allez France, Nobiliary, Bruni and Green Dancer.

title: One Piece (film)

text:
One Piece (also referred to as One Piece: The Movie) is a 2000 anime film released by Toei Company. It is the first film based on the manga series of the same name, and the only film in the series to use cel animation. It was originally released on March 4, 2000 as part of the Spring 2000 Toei Anime Fair, alongside Digimon Adventure: Our War Game!. The events of the film take place during the first season of One Piece as the first story arcs, "East Blue Saga".

Plot
In the East Blue, the pirate El Drago and his crew are searching for the treasure left behind by the legendary Great Gold Pirate Woonan, which is said to be a mountain of gold; El Drago eventually finds a treasure map to Woonan's gold by killing Woonan's former crew. While traveling to the treasure, El Drago's men rob the Straw Hat Pirates, who have run out of food and are close to starving. Luffy attacks them and accidentally smashes their small boat in the process.

El Drago retaliates using his Scream-Scream devil fruit powers, sending a powerful shock-wave that completely destroys the small boat and knocks the Going Merry away. Zoro dives into the sea to save Luffy, separating them from the rest of the Straw Hats, and finds Tobio, a small boy who was forced to work for El Drago. Smelling food, Luffy, Zoro and Tobio use the remains of the boat to travel to a floating oden shop run by Tobio's grandfather, Ganzo.

Not having any cash, Luffy and Zoro accidentally perform an eat and run and are chained together by Ganzo. El Drago and his crew land on Woonan's island, where they encounter Usopp. Usopp convinces El Drago not to kill him by claiming to be a professional treasure hunter, and close friend of Woonan, and begins leading him around the island aimlessly.

Meanwhile, Luffy and Zoro, still chained together, chase after Luffy's hat onto the island when it blows away in the wind; Tobio follows them and the group becomes lost. Nami finds Woonan's crew, and Usopp lies about the location of the gold, telling El Drago's men to dig in a random location for three days. However, El Drago decides to use his devil fruit powers instead, and Luffy, Zoro and Tobio follow the sound. Tobio attempts to attack El Drago, whose retaliation is blocked by Zoro.

Zoro and El Drago's fight is cut short by Luffy's leg getting caught on a rock and flinging them both across the island; Usopp and Nami use this distraction to escape, and regroup with Luffy and Zoro. Solving a riddle on Woonan's map, the Straw Hats and Tobio find the cave in which Woonan's treasure is buried, finding Ganzo ahead of them. Ganzo reveals that he and Woonan were childhood friends, and that as children Ganzo and Woonan had fought over disagreeing with each other's dreams.

In this fight, the two were knocked off a cliff face and onto a breaking branch, and Ganzo let himself fall in order to save Woonan. Unknown to Woonan, Ganzo was saved by a passing boat, but Woonan has already set out to sea when Ganzo woke up. The group find an old house where the gold is hidden, but El Drago catches up to them and fights Luffy and Zoro. El Drago is defeated, and in a secret room the group find Woonan's skeleton and a message left for Ganzo.

Before dying, Woonan realized that his treasure could not make him happy, and returned all the gold he stole, leaving nothing but his skeleton and the flag he showed Ganzo before their fight. Ganzo decides to build a grave for Woonan and continue running his oden shop, while Nami manages to steal El Drago's treasure. Ganzo refuses to accept the money for the oden, so that the Straw Hats will still owe him and be obligated to visit him again. As the Straw hats sail away, Tobio comments that Luffy really will become King of the pirates some day.

Cast

Release
Promotional One Piece and Digimon Carddass cards and a One Piece bandana were included with advanced bookings of the 2000 Toei Anime fair. In Japan, the film was released individually on DVD on January 21, 2001, followed by a Blu-ray release on November 21, 2009. The film was available at this lower price again on DVD and Blu-ray from November 30, 2012 to February, 2013 to coincide with the release of One Piece Film: Z.

Kazé released the film in France and Germany. The film was released on DVD and Blu-ray in France on August 24, 2011, featuring Japanese and French audio, as well as subtitles in French and Dutch subtitles; A box set of the first three One Piece films was released on 16 October 2013 on DVD and Blu-ray.

In the UK, the film was released by Manga UK exclusively in a DVD box set alongside Adventure of Spiral Island and Chopper's Kingdom on the Strange Animal Island on 28 July 2014, featuring Japanese audio and English subtitles. This was the first English-language One Piece release not to feature an English dub. Some reviewers criticized this DVD release for its poor video and audio quality and inconsistent translation to the subtitles found on the TV series releases; Jitendar Canth of My Reviewer described this release as "placeholder discs", pointing out that the films will likely by dubbed by Funimation and re-released, but also that "you’re going to have a hell of a wait [for FUNimation's release]" so "don’t miss out on the fun by waiting".

Soundtrack
The film uses the same pieces of theme music as the TV series at that time; The opening theme song is 'We Are!' by Hiroshi Kitadani, and the film's ending theme song is 'Memories' by Maki Otsuki.

The film's original soundtrack was composed by Kouhei Tanaka, and was released as part of the album 'One Piece: Music And Song Collection' (ワンピース 歌と音楽集 / アニメ) (サウンドトラック) on March 18, 2000. This album also included the original soundtrack to the One Piece TV series and image songs sung by the Straw Hat pirates, with tracks 1 to 16 representing the soundtrack to 'One Piece: The Movie'. This album was later re-released as part of the compilation 'One Piece Eizo Ongaku Kanzenban' (ワンピース 映像音楽完全盤 / アニメサントラ) on January 31, 2007, with the racks re-ordered.

Reception
The 2000 Spring Toei Anime Fair opened at number two position at the Japanese box office. In its second week, the double feature dropped to third place, before rising to the number one spot for its third and fourth weeks. In total, the film earned  at the Japanese box office.

The film's UK release received mixed reviews from critics. Jitendar Canth, of MyReviewer.com, described the film as "[playing] out like an extended episode", which lacked the grand visuals and storylines of later One Piece films and had a predictable story. However, Canth still recommended the film based on its fast pacing and comedic tone, awarding the film a 7/10 rating. Andy Hanley, of UK Anime Network, suggested that the film may have been more effective as "a TV episode or two rather than a short film" and criticized the film's pacing for taking "a little too long to get to its pivotal moments". Luke Baldock, of The Hollywood News, commented that "the animation doesn’t look as good as the show here", but was satisfied with the film's humor and action.

title: Peter Gelson

text:
Peter William John Gelson (18 October 1941 – 26 April 2021) was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League for Brentford as a centre back and wing half. A cult hero amongst the club's supporters, he is third on the all-time Brentford appearances list with 516. In 2013, Gelson placed second in a Football League 125th Anniversary poll of Brentford's all-time fan favourites and was inducted into the Brentford Hall of Fame in November 2014.

Career

Brentford
Joining Brentford at a young age, Gelson progressed through the club's youth, 'A' and reserve teams before making his professional debut at age 19 in a 2–0 Third Division defeat to Halifax Town on 22 August 1961. Despite still being a part-time player, Gelson quickly established himself in the first team as a wing half, making 28 appearances during the 1961–62 season, a campaign which saw Brentford relegated to the Fourth Division.

Gelson was a key player in Brentford's 1962–63 Fourth Division title-winning season and made 32 appearances, but he remained part-time and did not sign a professional contract until 1964. He was awarded the captaincy in August 1966, but a loss of form saw him lose it to Bobby Ross four months later. Gelson was known for his long-range goals and scored three times from behind the halfway line. A "hard man" as a player, in 1970 he ended the career of Colchester United's Bobby Howlett in a challenge which resulted in a broken leg for the Us defender.

Gelson went on to be a fixture at centre back until his final appearance for the club in September 1974. He left Brentford shortly after, having made 516 appearances in all competitions for the club. In recognition of his service to the club, Gelson was awarded testimonials in 1970 and 1975, earning him £3,630. He was inducted into the Brentford Hall of Fame in November 2014 and remained a season ticket holder up until the final seasons at Griffin Park.

Non-League football
After his departure from Brentford, Gelson played on in non-League football, appearing for Hillingdon Borough (two spells), Hounslow and Walton & Hersham. In 1985, he was active in forming the Staines Town Veterans' team, for which he also played, making his final appearance at the age of 66 on the final day of the 2007–08 season.

Personal life
In his early days as a part-time player at Brentford, Gelson worked in telecommunications for the Post Office. His Brentford teammate Gordon Phillips remained a lifelong friend and the pair were godparents to each other's children. After retiring from football, Gelson found work at Heathrow Airport and worked in security with British Airways and Qatar Airways. He worked for a number of years in Doha, Qatar as a loadmaster for Khalifa bin Hamad Al Thani's multiple private aircraft. He retired and returned to the UK in 2007. Gelson was married and as of June 2010, had five grandchildren.

title: Pro-Touring

text:
Pro-Touring is a style of classic muscle car with enhanced suspension components, brake system, drivetrain, and aesthetics, including many of the amenities of a new performance car.  These modified muscle cars have been developed to function as well as, or to surpass, the capabilities of the foremost modern performance vehicles.  Pro-Touring cars are built with an emphasis on function and are intended to be driven.  Whether they are driven on the street, the race track, the drag strip, or through cones at an auto-cross is of no difference.  Regardless of the location, pro-touring cars are destined to be driven.

History

Credit for coining the term ‘Pro-Touring' itself to define the emerging genre is widely attributed to Mark Stielow, GM Program Engineering Manager, and Car Craft magazine’s Tech Editor Jeff Smith, who was heading up Chevy High Performance magazine at the time. Mark Stielow can also take credit for helping grow the new concept through his own projects such as the white 1969 Chevrolet Camaro known as Tri-Tip that competed in the One Lap of America in 1993.  The Camaro was widely covered and created a surge in interest, and once the term was put in print, it stuck.  Since that time, Stielow has built a number of trailblazing Chevrolet Camaros with names like "The Mule," "Red Devil" and "Mayhem," many of which have graced the covers of some of the industry's most beloved publications, including Hot Rod magazine, Car Craft magazine, and Popular Hot Rodding magazine, further fueling the pro-touring trend.

Car Platforms & Models
There is no rule that says pro-touring machines have to be built from any particular car platform or car model.  Historically, however, pony cars are the most popular type used.  The perennial favorite model is the Chevrolet Camaro with, typically, the Chevrolet Camaro (first generation) cars being the preferred choice for builders, with the Chevrolet Camaro (second generation) reaching new levels of popularity these days.  Other cars known to have been used are the Ford Mustang and the De Tomaso Pantera.

The International Society for Laboratory Hematology (ISLH) is a non-profit organisation founded in 1992. Its purpose is to provide a forum for dissemination of new ideas and information related to the field of laboratory hematology.

History
In 1984 Dr. Berend Houwen began to organize meetings which brought together scientists, manufacturers, clinicians, and regulatory representatives to exchange ideas on technical innovations in laboratory hematology. The first meeting was held in Banff, Alberta, Canada. The success of these meetings led to the formation of ISLH in 1992.

At the time of incorporation, members of the society agreed to start a new journal for the publication of research and review articles in the broadening arena of laboratory hematology. In 2003 this journal,  Laboratory Hematology, began to be officially indexed by the National Center for Biotechnology Information. The current journal, The International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, is the official journal of the ISLH. It provides an international forum for new developments in the research and practice of laboratory hematology and includes invited reviews, original articles, research results and correspondence.

ISLH has been instrumental in standards and guidelines development in laboratory hematology. In 2001 the organization published the first flow-based reference method for platelet counting. In 2005 it published a document titled The International Consensus Group for Hematology Review: Suggested Criteria for Action Following Automated CBC and White blood cell Differential Analysis. This publication gathered 20 leading hematology laboratorians from around the globe to share their views on slide review.  It has been used extensively by laboratory hematologists since its publication. ISLH also maintains affiliation with the International Committee for Standardization in Hematology (ICSH), and sponsors review studies in its field.

ISLH has also expanded its focus to include a number of sub-disciplines related to laboratory hematology, including Cellular Analysis, Flow Cytometry, Hemostasis and Thrombosis, Molecular Diagnostics, Hematology Informatics, Hemoglobinopathies, Hemolytic Anemias, Point of Care Testing and Standards and guidelines. ISLH addresses these with symposia, research and journal reviews. As of 2015, the ISLH has about 900 members from more than 50 countries. It organizes annual international scientific meetings held in the US, Europe or Asia.

ISLH Annual Symposium
Held each spring, the annual meeting brings together laboratory hematologists from around the world to discuss critical issues in laboratory hematology. The symposium features a combination of invited speakers, oral and poster presentations, and commercial exhibits/workshops.  Approximately 700-1200 laboratory hematologists attend the meeting each year.

title: Freedom: The Underground Railroad

text:
Freedom: The Underground Railroad is a 2013 co-operative board game designed by Brian Mayer and published by Academy Games, their first game in the Freedom Series. The game has drawn positive attention for its approach and handling of the topic.

A card-driven, co-operative game set in early American History, Freedom: The Underground Railroad has players working together for the Abolitionist Movement to help bring an end to slavery in the United States. The players use a combination of cards, which feature historical figures and events spanning from early independence until the Civil War and contain action tokens and character benefits which impact the game. The game can be played solo or up to four players, each playing one of six possible archetypes from the abolitionist movement: agent, conductor, preacher, shepherd, station master, or stockholder.

Several small card expansions, also designed by Mayer, were released with the Kickstarter version, each adding several new cards to the Abolitionist Deck.

Gameplay
The first goal that players need to achieve in Freedom: The Underground Railroad are to help a certain number of slaves make their way northward to freedom in Canada. How many varies depends on the number of players and the difficulty level of the game. The second winning condition is that the group needs to collectively raise the strength of the Abolitionist Movement, helping to bring about more permanent changes, by acquiring all of the support tokens in the game.

Freedom: The Underground Railroad components consists of a game board representing connections between cities and spaces on the map of the United States, three decks of cards (Role cards, Abolitionist cards, and Slave Market cards), five slave catcher tokens, 110 wooden cubes representing the men, women and children trapped in slavery, slave catcher movement dice, action tokens (support, fundraising, and conductor), money, and a lead player token. The Abolitionist cards are broken up into three eras (1800-1839, 1840–1859, 1860–1865) and feature historical events and individuals from those eras that impacted the fight for freedom, both positively and negatively. General Abolitionist cards are used when acquired, Reserve Abolitionist cards can be held onto until an opportune time, and Opposition cards work against the players in various ways. At the start of the game, Opposition cards are distributed throughout the three era decks. Players are given a random role at the beginning of the game.

There are 8 rounds in the game, each consisting of five phases:
1. Slave Catcher Phase - the lead player rolls and resolves the Slave Catcher and Movement Dice.
2. Planning Phase - Each player may take up to a total of two action tokens.
3. Action Phase - Starting with the lead player, players may take the following actions in any order:
 Play an action token
 Play a second action token
 Buy and resolve one Abolitionist Card
 Gain the benefit of the player's Role Card
 Use the player's Role Card one time Special Ability
4. Slave Market Phase - Deliver slaves from the bottom Slave Market card to the plantations.
5. Lantern Phase - Discard any card in the right most space of the Abolitionist Queue (2 spaces for the solo or 2-player game), possibly triggering any Opposition cards in those spaces. Check for victory, if not pass the Lead Player token and continue.

The game is over if any of the following occur:
The 8th round ends without reaching both victory conditions - a loss for the players.
The Slaves Lost track fills up and another slave is lost - a loss for the players.
The players achieve both victory conditions and finish the current round without losing too many slaves - a victory for the players.

Expansions
 Freedom: The Underground Railroad – Abolitionist Cards: a mini-expansion that adds cards for each of the three eras, including Samuel Joseph May, Josiah Henson, Thomas Garrett, Anna Elizabeth Dickinson, John Parker Hale, Robert Purvis, Southern Secession, Alexander Milton Ross, American Anti-Slavery Society, and Hundred Conventions Project.
 Freedom: The Underground Railroad – Opposition Cards: a mini-expansion that adds new Opposition cards to be used with the game, including: U.S. Marhalls, Pennsylvania Hall, Tough Crossing, and a second Fugitive Slave Act card.
 Freedom: The Underground Railroad – Reserve Cards: a mini-expansion that adds new Reserve cards for each of the three eras, including: The Quakers, Personal Liberty Laws, Principles of '98, and Slave Grapevine.

Educational use
Freedom: The Underground Railroad is the topic of a first book in a series of books being published by Rosen Publishing, centered on the use of games as educational resources.

title: March 1969 nor'easter

text:
The March 1969 nor'easter was an extratropical cyclone that moved into the Gulf of Mexico on March 5, moving through southern Georgia, then deepened as it moved along the lower Eastern Seaboard, before swinging wide of New England and Atlantic Canada.  Heavy snows fell across eastern Maryland, southern Delaware, and Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts.   It was a strong system, with maximum sustained winds of  a central pressure close to  while south of Atlantic Canada.  The system then moved into the far northern Atlantic Ocean while splitting into two low pressure areas on March 10.

Evolution
Late on March 5, a frontal wave moved offshore Galveston, Texas.  The system moved along the Gulf coast on March 6.  Gale-force winds were confined to behind its prefrontal squall line on March 6.  The cyclone moved along the Florida-Georgia border with a central pressure down to .  The low tracked up the Eastern Seaboard from the late on the 6th through the morning of the 7th while strengthening quickly, with its central pressure falling to , then with storm-force winds offshore Cape Charles, Virginia.  The cyclone tracked offshore New England.  By the morning of the 8th, the cyclone's center pressure had fallen to  while the system developed maximum sustained winds of  south of Newfoundland. During the day, the cyclone absorbed a previously strong cyclone to its north near Anticosti Island.  The system slowly weakened while moving slowly northeast offshore eastern Newfoundland on the 9th and 10th, losing hurricane-force winds on the 9th.  The system split into two distinct low pressure centers on 10th as it approached southern Greenland.

Impact
The cyclone's pre-frontal squall line moved into western Florida between 4:30 and 6:00 p.m. on March 6.  Winds gusted to between  and  across Sarasota and Levy counties.  Tides rose to between  and  above normal.  Damage caused was between $50,000 and $500,000.  A heavy wet snow fell across the Eastern Shore of Maryland and the southern half of Delaware from late on March 6 into March 7, up to a depth of  in Maryland and  in Lewes, Delaware.  At Martha's Vineyard, heavy snow and winds up to  created snow drifts exceeding  in height.

title: Loyalty (film)

text:
Loyalty is the seventh film of the British TV film series Hornblower, based on the books by C. S. Forester, particularly Hornblower and the Hotspur. It was released on 5 January 2003, nearly four years after the first four films and nine months after the next two films.

The series received four nominations for the 2004 56th Primetime Emmy Awards: Outstanding Miniseries, Outstanding Art Direction for a Miniseries or Movie, Outstanding Costumes for a Miniseries, Movie or a Special and Outstanding Single-Camera Sound Mixing for a Miniseries or Movie, although it is not clear whether they were for Loyalty or Duty (which was broadcast one day after Loyalty) or both.

Plot
At Cape Clear, Ireland in 1803, HMS Retribution, commanded by Commander Hornblower, has retaken HMS Hotspur from the French. Near the end of the fighting, a cutter is spotted sailing towards Hotspur, with news that the war with France is over. The peace lasts a year and the sailors and officers of the Royal Navy languish on half pay. Meanwhile, Napoleon is making plans across the Channel.

In Portsmouth, Hornblower's promotion to commander was not confirmed, nor does he have a navy posting. As a result, he has to pawn many of his possessions to survive during the peace. By chance, he runs into Lieutenant Bush, also on half pay. Later that night, Hornblower takes Bush to an exclusive establishment, where he plays whist with Admiral Edward Pellew, Captain Hammond, and Hammond's nephew Jack, who aspires to serve under Hornblower. Hornblower's whist winnings are enough to pay the rent he owes to his landlady, Mrs. Mason; Mrs. Mason's daughter Maria is attracted to him.

Pellew gives Hornblower command of HMS Hotspur with orders to sail to Brest to spy on Napoleon. In addition, Hornblower is to take a Frenchman, Major Côtard, to a secret rendezvous with a trusted friend in France. Though he previously outranked Hornblower, Bush agrees to serve as his first lieutenant. Bush signs on a crew for Hotspur, including Boatswain Matthews, Irishman Wolfe, and Boatswain's Mate Styles. Jack Hammond also comes aboard as a midshipman, though his eagerness is overshadowed by his apparent ineptitude and cowardice.

Off Brest, Hotspur spots a semaphore telegraph reporting their presence. There is a tense moment when a much more powerful French frigate, Loire, sails toward Hotspur. War has not broken out, and the two ships merely exchange salutes. There is no sign of Major Côtard's contact, and Hornblower regards it as suspicious that Loire was at the rendezvous point. Hornblower and Côtard reconnoiter, disguised as fishermen. They discover an encamped French invasion force, but are spotted and forced to flee. Loire returns, this time to fight, but Hornblower manages to outfox and disable the enemy ship before returning to England to warn Pellew.

The British fleet arrives off Brest and Pellew makes plans to attack the French fort based on Hornblower's report: the French fleet is anchored in the outer harbor, protected by a shore battery. Since all British movements are immediately reported by the semaphore, Pellew assigns Hornblower to destroy it, while Captain Hammond will lead a party of Marines to take the shore battery. These two actions will enable Pellew to launch a pre-emptive strike on the French fleet. As Hornblower heads toward the semaphore, Wolfe slips away. After Hornblower completes his mission, he and his party are captured by French troops. Wolfe is revealed to be a traitor, working to liberate Ireland from Britain with French support. Wolfe reveals that another agent is a senior member of the Royal Navy.

Hammond's party lands, only to be forced to surrender by Wolfe and his waiting men. Wolfe fires Hammond's prearranged signal, falsely informing the fleet that the battery has been taken. The British fleet sails into an ambush. Hornblower and his men escape and blow up the fort, enabling Pellew to countermand his withdrawal and attack the French ships. Hornblower and his men then run into Wolfe and Hammond, who is revealed to be the other Irish traitor. Hammond orders Wolfe to kill Hornblower and his greatly outnumbered men. However, Bush arrives with reinforcements. A battle ensues, during which Jack Hammond dies bravely. Wolfe escapes, while Hammond, distraught over the death of his nephew, commits suicide. Afterward, Hornblower's report states that Hammond died heroically and honorably for England, to avoid inflaming the many Irishmen serving in the Royal Navy.

Back in Portsmouth, Hornblower visits the Masons, but has an argument with Maria. As Hornblower is about to leave, Mrs. Mason tells him Maria wept for him while he was gone. Horatio then asks Maria to marry him; she accepts.
