Equilibrium is a relatively straightforward skirmish map for up to four players. The landscape has been designed specifically to slightly restrict the raw materials available to you, with two outcrops of iron and one outcrop of stone close to your castle. The other keeps have slightly more iron and stone, with a little more oasis grass for farms. Therefore, the map has been marked as 'unbalanced', or balance favours keeps 2, 3 and 4, albeit only moderately so.
The map was designed for use against the AI lords, and ideally three Arab lords against your own preference. The map has not been tested in an online multiplayer situation. I suspect that it may play reasonably well and I would be interested to hear if this is indeed the case.
The zip file contains a few more thoughts about the design of the map. Constructive reviews based on playing the scenario and acknowledging the Design Notes contained within are welcome.
Defiantly a great map to download.
As always, a spectacular map from Sulis. There are very few things in the world that are constant. One is that politicians will lie to you(random), and another is that Sulis will always create amazing Stronghold maps.
It's the first time I'm going to review Sulis' map and I'm a bit nervous due to the fact that the honourable author of this map does an incredible amount of work - for those, who don't visit the forums I can just say that Sulis is the one who submits our maps, allows ratings to show up and keeps this section ordered; he still finds time to create masterpieces, such as this.
Playability - 5. Any Stronghold Crusader player, who is familiar with the AIs, will clearly understand that the map size 300x300 and the beautiful landscape doesn't allow all enemy lords to complete their castles. So I didn't waste my time and tried playing against three Caliphs with a full computer advantage. The mission seemed to be rather easy, but heck no! I had to try my best to defend both my farms and quarries against the well known "fiery" lords (I chose the North East position, yet I think that the South West position was designed for the human lord. Anyway the restricted building space, hardly achievable resources, almost empty granary made the mission very challenging in the beginning (this is the most important, as whenever you complete your defensive structures and a well maintained economy, victory becomes just a question of time). Later on I tried against three Saladins, they really gave me a headache with their siege equipment, usually hiding them behind the mountains. Although they had some problems with castle finishing , I won't let this drag the score down, as the map offers a great playability with other AIs.
About the multiplayer - no offence, Sulis, but the map is just too pretty and well designed for a bloodbath called the multiplayer match. I would spend my time just gazing at your great skills. The restricted building space and short distances aren't preferred in these kind of games, but I'll repeat once more - it's a great map to fight against AIs.
Balance - 5. Excellent work. First of all I really like when the geographical features are mixed cleverly with playability - Sulis' map allows us various defensive and offensive strategies. The mountains always give cover and give the attacker a big advantage, however well placed fiords allow the defending player concentrate on these paths. Just a small example how can map design influence the playability.
A supreme job was made with the resources - the few quarries, iron mines and farms keep the pressure - you can't build more, and this enforces the player to concentrate on the economical part - gold becomes more essential. The resources are also spread very well. Besides the resources, space had to be economized, too - it's important for players who are used to build big castle (I'm one of them). Basically my population is 150 - 200 when playing against AIs (much more in a multiplayer match), however I had to settle with only 70 people.
Overall the map could be marked as balanced - the amount of resources and space was roughly even, yet, Sulis wants to be precise. Again, fantastic work.
Fantastic! Just having a glance to the minimap, it becomes obvious that the map's idea is superb. I already mentioned the great success achieved in playability, now I must put out a few important aspects why this map is purely genial.
First of all it's the map size. Now usually the designers forget about smaller sizes and keep filling the empty spots in a 400x400 map. However Sulis chose a smaller map and now take a look - the landscape is completely filled with realistic small features which create a great overall view. I'm not sure that a bigger map would look as well as this does.
Furthermore I had explain the great features which Sulis added. Take a look at the mountains - I'm sure that most of you after designing them would just leave them, but Sulis adds a wonderful feature - H2O. Cleverly creating the narrow, curved river and mixing it in the mountains allows us to feast our eyes on. The river also divides the oases, the players' territories. Sulis also adds another small river, and now the water blends perfectly thus creating a dynamic natural landscape.
I also noticed how cleverly Sulis set the keeps throughout the map - the map can be played however you want; the square form of the keep layout looks superb in this kind of map.
All in all there much more great features, just download and take a look!
Just reading everything what I wrote before can make you realize that there's no chance to find negative remarks in this section. The map looks so realistic and natural! I think many of you can say which map looks great and which doesn't from a short glance at the minimap, well believe me, don't waste your time looking at this minimap - just download the map.
First of all, every detail, every feature looks to be precisely where you want it to be. I think I often add too many details, and seeing this great design even strengthened my thoughts. The various rocks, shrub, water features, mountain style, oases are mixed so well in this normal size map(!). The resources are placed so well in the mountains - just like you want them to be. Experienced mapmakers usually have the main rules which they follow when talking about the design - basically it's the natural and realistic achievements. I'm not one of them but still this map is one of a kind! The only small feature that could be added were animals - a few deers, crows and rabbits wouldn't spoil the map, Sulis. Still the map is fantastic!
Story - 5. Perfect story for a skirmish map. Some of you might say "too short"... But common, this is a skirmish map, we have to know why and where are we, that's it. It's not a custom scenario map, were a long, interesting narrative is required. Everything becomes clear from reading your story - we know where, why the game takes part. Furthermore the story has historical references. Adding some instructions is essential to any map, Sulis explained how this map can and should be played, its idea (thanks). Overall, html features give the last touch to this wonderful work.
Additional comments - This is one of the best skirmish map ever to be made, and knowing that the download section is getting less and less attention it's always great to see this kind of work.
Thank you, Sulis, for the map and your hard work.
Well, I've been visiting old skirmish maps and I came across this very familiar map that I forgot to download when it first came out. Here is a review... of course, you will be very happy with this one, as am I with this map!
The shortage of resources was passable... I thought there was enough to go around, but the enemy kept using up my farm space and quarry area. I played this map twice to test the diferent AIs and they all worked perfectly (except for the Wolf because of his enormous castle he always builds). Overall, not a full five for the playability, but a very fun and interesting skirmish.
I would have to say that my favourite skirmish maps are the ones with only 4 players. Maps with 5-8 players aren't really for me. The AI worked well and the difficulty was average compared to some of the impossible skirmishes. The AI also kept sending archers and pikemen into the middle of the map to control that area and to kill my farmers. But as I fought them back, I regained control. Therefore, balance, a full five.
Hmmm, never really say much on this but I think the idea of re-creating a step in the Crusades was fantastic.
Well, nice map design. Straight up, exactly what I expected to be in a map like this. The ruins in the middle of the map were realistic. The rivers were great and the use of rocks and shrub was perfect. Also, trees, farmland, quarry stone and iron were placed directly for awesome gameplay.
It's good that you wrote information about the map. Some maps do not have anything besides, "2 vs 3 map. very good map. pls review". Nice background info on the history. A full five for this too.
Ha, great map. Had fun playing it. Thankyou very much.

That I'm sad Desperate Housewives is coming to an end. I know there are a handful of episodes left...but there's a huge storyline going on right now, and I'm curious to see how it's all going to play out. I love this show and I will be sad when it's over.
That I accidentally put my cell phone through the wash last week. I threw my phone my bad when a friend came over, forgot it was there, took the sheets off my bed and put them in the wash. I went to go text a friend...couldn't find my phone...and freaked out. I was able to stop the wash and take it out, but my phone was toast. I went about 18 hours without my cell phone and I freaked out. Like was crying and having anxiety attacks freaking out. Still freak out when I think about what I did and the fact that I lost 200 contacts.
That it took me 10 years to ruin a phone because of my actions. The phone that went threw the wash was my third phone and I've had it for 4 or 5 years. I usually have to replace a phone because the screen died. When I told my dad what I did, he said "I knew I couldn't trust you with a cell phone."
To have FINALLY made the switch to a smartphone. I had to replace my phone and the store didn't have any flip phones (or red phones for that matter). Because I never had any desire to have a smartphone, I wasn't sure if I wanted a Blackberry, iPhone or Android. I ended up with a Blackberry because it's what my dad and brother have (sister has an iPhone), I'm told Blackberry is aimed more at business people and it has a keyboard. I hope I made the right choice.
I know I cannot wait to see where Desperate Housewives is going and how the end everything!
I'm also sad about Desperate Housewives. I've been watching from the beginning.
I hope Lynette and Tom get back together!


Gov. Chris Sununu has signed into law a controversial election bill that opponents say will constrain voting by students and other transient residents of the state.
Supporters applauded the move as a way to ensure that only bonafide New Hampshire residents vote in New Hampshire elections.
Maine Tests a New Way of Voting, and Opts to Keep It Voter Turnout Is Up, Especially Among Democrats. What Does That Mean for November?
"After receiving an advisory opinion from the New Hampshire Supreme Court finding the bill to be constitutional, I signed HB 1264 into law," the governor said in a statement released Friday after a low-key signing with no ceremonial trappings, as student protesters lined the hall outside his door.
"House Bill 1264 restores equality and fairness to our elections, and the Supreme Court has ruled the bill is constitutional while affirming that New Hampshire has a compelling state interest in seeing this bill enacted. Finally, every person who votes in New Hampshire will be treated the same. This is the essence of an equal right to vote," Sununu said.
Reaction ranging from outrage to accolades followed within minutes of Sununu's signature.
"Gov. Sununu broke his word by signing this shameful attempt at partisan voter suppression into law, which is a giant step backward for our state and has the potential to disenfranchise thousands of Granite Staters," said Sen. Maggie Hassan, Sununu's predecessor in the governor's office.
In a statement headlined, "We won -- Your Vote Matters," NHGOP Chair Wayne MacDonald credited legislative leadership.
"Voter integrity matters to the people of New Hampshire, and Granite State Republicans have led on the issue of increasing voter integrity in our state," he said. "Republican legislative leadership deserves high praise for getting this crucial legislation passed."
Sununu's decision to sign HB 1264 comes after two years of contentious debate in the state Legislature; a promise by the governor to veto any bill that would block student voting and a state Supreme Court advisory opinion that provided Sununu with legal cover to sign the bill.
Sununu has for months expressed reservations about the bill, which defines residency and domicile as the same thing, and requires voters to declare New Hampshire as their place of residence. That means getting a state driver's license and vehicle registration within 60 days.
Once the law takes effect, transient voters -- like college students, military personnel, medical residents or visiting professors -- will have to decide to abandon the identification and motor vehicle registration from their native state and become a New Hampshire resident, or vote by absentee ballot in their native state.
This will have the effect of suppressing their vote, according to critics, who claim people should be able to vote where they are living (domicile) as long as they don't vote anywhere else.
Sununu painted himself into a political corner in December when he was recorded on video at an event in Manchester telling a young political activist that he hated the bill.
As the activist begins to ask Sununu about the bill, the governor interjects, "I know what you're talking about. I'm not a fan. I'm hoping that the Legislature kills it."
The activist asked Sununu if he would veto the bill or others like it, to which the governor replied, "I will never support anything that suppresses the student vote. End of story."
In an op-ed piece submitted to the New Hampshire Union Leader, Sununu acknowledges that exchange. "I had expressed serious concerns regarding the bill's constitutionality from the very beginning," he said.
But the court's advisory opinion appears to have erased those concerns.
"In signing this bill, no promises were broken," according to the governor. "I never said I would veto this bill, but I did promise to stand up for fairness and equal opportunity for all Granite Staters."
In seeking the advisory opinion from the court, Sununu asked the justices to address whether the overall bill is constitutional and whether its specific application to college students would also be constitutional.
Sununu's signature came one day after the state Supreme Court issued its advisory opinion on Thursday that HB 1264 is constitutional.
Chief Justice Robert Lynn was joined by Associate Justices Barbara Hantz Marconi and Patrick E. Donovan in ruling the law might disproportionately affect students or other constituencies, but that alone does not make it unconstitutional.
Justices Gary Hicks and James Bassett issued a separate opinion, alluding to issues of fact that are in dispute and the lack of a factual record upon which to base an opinion.
"The constitutional duty of the justices of the Supreme Court to give advisory opinions does not include answering legal questions that require resolving questions of fact," they wrote.
Controversy surrounding the law is not likely to end with Sununu's signature, as opponents like the American Civil Liberties Union and the N.H. Democratic Party have pointed out that the advisory opinion is not necessarily a guarantee of how the court would rule in an actual litigated case.
The bill doesn't take effect until July 1, 2019, and so won't come into play in the elections this fall.

Background Stress bladder control problems is a common condition in ladies and can end up being connected with peripheral nerve damage
Background Stress bladder control problems is a common condition in ladies and can end up being connected with peripheral nerve damage. to truly have a protecting influence on axonal regeneration [20]. Consequently, this study targeted to investigate the consequences of RSC96 Schwann cell-derived Ethisterone exosomes inside a book style of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) cell injury induced by cyclic mechanical strain (CMS). The potential for functional recovery of damaged peripheral nerves might provide a novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of conditions such as stress urinary incontinence. Material and Methods Cell culture Human RSC96 Schwann cells and normal dorsal root ganglion (DRG) cells were purchased from the China Center Type for Culture Collection (CCTCC, Wuhan, China), and were maintained in high glucose Dulbeccos Modified Eagles Medium (DMEM) (Genom Biotech Co. Ltd., Hangzhou, China) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Gemini Bio-Products, Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and 1% penicillin and streptomycin (Beyotime Biotech Co. Ltd., Suzhou, China). The cells were cultured in a humidified incubator (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) at 37C with 5% CO2. Cyclic mechanical strain (CMS) The DRG cells underwent loaded cyclic mechanical strain (CMS) as previously described, by using a four-point bending device (Miracle Technology Co. Ltd., Chengdu, China) [21]. CMS is an experimental system to study the changes in cells under different mechanical loads [21]. Briefly, DRG cells were trypsinized to prepare a cell suspension and cultured in cell culture plate with a size of 79401.38 mm in high glucose DMEM containing 10% FBS and 1% penicillin and streptomycin until the cells were firmly adherent. The normal DRG cells were stretched by the four-point bending system for 0, 1333, 2666, and 5333 strain, using 0 strain as the control group, with a frequency set to 1 1 Hz. Then, the cells were cultured for another 4 h in the incubator and then harvested for the detection of indices of mechanical injury to select the optimal parameters of strain and time to establish the cell model of DRG cell injury for subsequent experiments. Exosome isolation and characterization Exosomes from the RSC96 Schwann cell culture supernatant were Rabbit Polyclonal to IKK-gamma (phospho-Ser31) isolated using ExoQuick-TC? exosome precipitation solution (EXOTC10A-1) (System Biosciences, Palo Alto, CA, USA). Briefly, RSC96 cells were supplemented with high glucose DMEM containing 10% exosome-free FBS for 24 h. The supernatant was centrifuged at 3,000g for 15 min to remove cells and cell debris. Then, Ethisterone 5 ml of supernatant was incubated with 1 ml of ExoQuick-TC? answer and refrigerated overnight (for at least 12 h) at 4C, and then the mixture was centrifuged at 1,500g for 30 min. Exosomes were re-suspended in 100 L of sterile phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and were characterized using nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) with a ZetaView? Nanoparticle Tracking Analyzer (Particle Metrix, Meerbusch, Germany), electron microscopy (EM) using an HT7700 transmission electron microscope (Hitachi, Japan), and using Western blot analysis of two well-characterized exosomal protein markers, CD9 and tumor susceptibility gene 101 (Tsg101) protein. Western blot of cell lysates The expression levels of RSC96 Schwann cell-derived exosomes and the cell proteins extracted from RSC96 cells using RIPA buffer made up of phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) were detected with Western blot analysis. The protein concentrations were determined using a BCA Protein Assay Kit (Beyotime Biotech Co. Ltd., Shanghai, China). Samples with equal amounts of proteins were fractionated on 15% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide gels, transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes, and obstructed with 5% dried out skimmed milk natural powder for 2 h at area temperatures. The membranes had been incubated at 4C right away with 1: 1000 dilutions (v/v) of major antibodies, including Compact disc9, Tsg101, and -actin that was used being a control (Abcam, Cambridge, UK). After cleaning with Tris-buffered saline (TBS) and Tween 20 (TBST), the membranes had been incubated in 1: 4000 dilutions (v/v) of supplementary antibodies for 1 h at area temperature. Proteins expression was discovered using the Li-Cor Odyssey infrared imaging program (Li-Cor Biosciences, Lincoln, NE, USA) Cell keeping track of package-8 (CCK-8) assay The Cell Keeping track of Package-8 (CCK-8) was bought from MultiSciences Biotech Co. Ltd. (Hangzhou, China) and was utilized to measure the cultured DRG cell viability and cell proliferation. Cells had been seeded in 96-well cell lifestyle plates at a thickness of 2104 cells/ml. The DRG cells had been cultured with 10 l CCK-8 in each well at 37C for Ethisterone 1 h. Cell viability was assessed utilizing a VICTOR 31420 Multilabel dish audience (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA, USA). Senescence-associated beta-galactosidase (SA–gal) cytochemical assay The DRG cells had been cultured on sterile cup coverslips, incubated in six-well plates, and cleaned with PBS twice. Cells then were.

Kuwait Times speaks with Private Education manager to clarify school, teacher concerns
Sanad Al-Mutairi
By Faten Omar
KUWAIT: On Thursday Kuwait Times interviewed Sanad Al-Mutairi, Manager of Private Education Department within the Ministry of Education, to clarify some issues related to private schools. Kuwait Times has received many complaints regarding the school closures. One school principal threatened to cut the salaries of any teacher not in Kuwait during the period of the closures.
Other schools have been forcing teachers to meet and come to campus despite the closures. Another concern is that some schools may deduct from their teachers' salaries due to the two weeks, which was a Cabinet decision to suspend schools for students and administrative bodies working in public and private schools and institutes, starting from March 1, until March 12, 2020.
Replaying to that, Mutairi said, "The decision is due to circumstances and a crisis in the country and based on the decision of the Council of Ministers, no school has the right to deduct the two-week suspension of schools from teachers' salaries." He advised any teacher that faces problems in this regard to file a complaint to the Private Education Department in order to do the necessary actions toward these schools.
Regarding E-learning that was implemented in some schools, he revealed that his department did not receive any official decision yet. "Although nothing is official, I believe that e-learning in schools will be activated through the so-called 'educational television' to make teachers interact with students, and until this moment we have not received any new instructions regarding that," he said.
"The schools' e-learning is optional to parents and students and there is no decision yet to obligate both sides. The e-learning now is an agreement with both sides," he added. Mutairi added that the decision to extend the school suspension is up to the health ministry to make. "Till now the cases are stable in the country, and it is expected that students will back to schools on March 15. But if the situation worsens and the number of cases rises, it is possible to extend the suspension for the educational institutions," he said.
Some school are considering canceling the spring break to catch up on what was missed. In this regard, Al-Mutairi told Kuwait Times that: "The school does not have the right to cancel the spring break without the approval of the Ministry of Education, An official circular must be issued to approve that decision, and nothing was released yet."
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Education announced on its official Instagram on Wednesday that teachers and students in Arabic schools (public and private) can use the "Siraj" application to keep on track if they choose to do so. This e-learning platform has not been mandated as a requirement.
The Ministry affirmed that the student and teacher can use the remote study through the educational channel "Siraj" that has been started broadcasting since 2013 where it includes approximately 700 records of reviews and previous exams for high school. Officials from the health and education ministries met to determine the latest preparations for the return to schools, in the context of precautionary measures to counter the spread of the novel coronavirus.
The gatherers agreed to start distributing thermometers to schools from Sunday with two for each school, besides providing nursing bodies for new schools and launching awareness campaigns for students, teachers, and administrative staff to prevent the virus from spreading.


One of the remaining examples of socialist architecture on Karl-Marx Allee in Berlin is Kino International. Designed by German architect Josef Kaiser and opened 15th november 1963, till 1989 the cinema hosted premieres in the GDR.
The theater was designed as a three-story reinforced concrete frame construction with light sandstone façades. The front façade consists of the big glass surface suspended over the ground and closed by the side surfaces decorated with rich reliefs.

Their Mexico wedding was canceled, so Macomb County couple used Zoom instead
Christina Hall
It wasn't the April 20 wedding Luke and Tabitha Miskokomon had been planning.
They weren't in special clothes. There wasn't flowers or music. They weren't in Mexico.
COVID-19 put a damper on all that.
But the happily-in-love couple married on their special day anyway.
Tabitha wore a casual dress; Luke, a sweater and jeans. Her mom made a cake. They were in the backyard of their Mount Clemens home.
Tabitha's parents and Luke's best man stood within recommended social distance of each other.
And the person who pronounced them man and wife? Well, he was about a mile away.
Macomb County Clerk/Register of Deeds Fred Miller officiated the ceremony online via Zoom.
"With everything kinda bad going on, we wanted something good, and we were really excited to get married," the 27-year-old new bride said.
Miller, who officiated 15 weddings on Valentine's Day, said this was the first marriage tele-ceremony he has performed.
"They had been planning to get married on this date and the world changes," he said. "Love will find a way."
The day after the wedding, Miller posted the happy occasion on Facebook, with a post that began: "Even in the midst of a pandemic and social distancing, LOVE WILL FIND A WAY!"
His post showed him smiling and clapping in an office, the couple kissing outside on a beautiful day and a beach scene, which turned out to be the avatar for the person who set up the Zoom meeting.
Miller finished his post: "May your journey from this day forward grow sweeter as you share life together! ♥"
The ceremony didn't come together overnight, but with some forethought over a couple of weeks.

Once the global coronavirus pandemic hit Michigan in mid-March and the governor put stay-at-home orders in place, the Miskokomons knew they would have to rethink their wedding plans.
Tabitha said they inquired with Luke's best friend since childhood, Mike Keys, who works at the Macomb County Board of Commissioners and is a Clinton Township trustee, about whether there was a way the couple still could marry on their planned date.
Keys said that he saw Miller's office had posted on Facebook about online services it was providing. He said he sent Miller's work email to Tabitha.
The Miskokomons handled their marriage license application and fee online. Miller said he then dropped off the copies they needed at their house.
Keys organized the Zoom meeting and was a witness with Tabitha's mom and dad. His friend opened the Zoom meeting for everyone.
The ceremony took about 10 minutes.
Keys said his friends love their dog, Blue, and because they got married in Michigan, Blue attended the ceremony, too.
More:Her wedding was canceled twice because of coronavirus. So this is what she did
Keys said he returned the signed paperwork to the county courthouse in Mount Clemens after the ceremony. When he got there, he put it on the hood of his car. He said Miller walked outside to sign a copy, which Keys returned to the newlyweds, and Miller took the other copies for filing.
"It was a great way to get a little normalcy with everything going on right now," Keys said of the nuptials.
Tabitha said she and Luke, 26, are planning a ceremony and reception with family and friends in Mexico in October, six months after they tied the knot in Michigan.
The newlyweds, who met in high school and were together about six years before marrying, had takeout for their wedding dinner.
"At the end of the day, we're married," Tabitha said, "and that's all I can really ask for."

Gravand (Tadorna tadorna) är en andfågel som tillhör släktet gravänder (Tadorna) inom familjen änder (Anatidae). Till utseende, rörelsemönster och flygstil liknar gravänderna mest gässen. Fågeln förekommer utmed kusterna i större delen av Europa, men även inåt landet österut till Kina. Beståndet globalt anses vara livskraftigt.

Kännetecken

Utseende

Gravanden är en brokig, gåslik and med en kroppslängd på 55–65 centimeteter. Den har lång hals, långa ben och långa, spetsiga vingar, kraftig kropp och stor, tydligt uppåtböjd näbb. Fågeln är till största delen vit med grönt huvud, röd näbb och hasselnötsbrun gördel på framsidan. Skuldror och vingpennor är svarta. Könen är lika varandra, men hanen är något större och har under parningstiden en svullen röd knopp mellan ögonen.

Läte
Gravanden är en ljudlig fågel. Från hanen hörs svischande visslingar under uppvaktningen. Även ett upprepat, tvåstavigt "pju-pu" hörs. Honans läte är ett nasalt gnäggande.

Utbredning
Gravanden förekommer längs kusterna i större delen av Europa österut genom Centralasien till nordöstra Kina och söderut till Iran och Afghanistan. Vintertid når den norra Afrika, Irak, Pakistan, norra Indien, Bangladesh och södra Kina. I Europa har den tillfälligt även noterats på Färöarna, Madeira, Azorerna, Kanarieöarna och Svalbard. Gravanden har också på senare tid vandrat söderut i Afrika till Ghana. I Asien finns fynd från östligaste Ryssland och Filippinerna.

Förekomst i Sverige
I Sverige häckar merparten på de södra kusterna, både på ost- och västkusten till Bohuslän respektive norra Uppland- Den häckar även sparsamt i inlandet i Skåne, på Öland och Gotland.

Det finns få uppgifter om gravandens svenska utbredning i historisk tid. Dock finns det fossila fynd från Birka, och från 1700-talet finns enstaka uppgifter om häckande gravand i Stockholms skärgård, vilket kan tyda på att arten tidigare hade en nordligare häckningsutbredning i Sverige.

Systematik
Gravanden beskrivs som en av de minst typiska arterna i släktet Tadorna och har betraktats som en möjlig länk mellan släktet och Alopochen. I fångenskap har den hybridiserat med flera andra arter inom sitt släkte, men även nilgås, gräsand och ejder. Den behandlas som monotypisk, det vill säga att den inte delas in i några underarter.

Ekologi

Gravanden trivs bäst vid långgrunda ler- och sandstränder, gärna med laguner. De återfinns även vid större träsk och i jordbruksmiljö. Gravanden flyger och simmar väl och kan dyka. När den dyker använder den, förutom fötterna, också vingarna för att ta sig fram. Dess föda består av små havsdjur, frön, knoppar och späda skott.

Häckning
Som boplats gräver gravanden, i en jord- eller sandbank, en gång som vidgar sig mot slutet. Den inre delen fodras med gråvitt dun. Den nyttjar också hålor grävda av andra djur som kanin, räv eller grävling. Gravanden häckar även i håligheter i trädstammar, stenrösen, stengärdsgårdar, under halmstackar eller under byggnader. Gravanden lägger i snitt sju till 15 helt vita, glänsande, ovala och tillspetsade ägg, vanligtvis i Sverige mellan mitten av maj till en vecka in i juni men kan lägga ägg redan i slutet av april ända till början av juli. Honan sköter ruvningen medan hanen ofta står på vakt i närheten, gärna på en upphöjd plats. Så fort honan lämnar redet för näringssök täcker hon äggen helt med dun. Äggen ruvas i cirka 30 dygn och ungarna är flygga efter 45–50 dygn. Tidigt tar de sig ned till närmsta vatten där de vaktas och tas om hand av båda föräldrar.

Gravanden och människan

Status och hot
Arten har ett stort utbredningsområde och en stor population, och tros öka i antal. Utifrån dessa kriterier kategoriserar internationella naturvårdsunionen IUCN arten som livskraftig (LC). Världspopulationen uppskattas till mellan 415 000 och en halv miljon vuxna individer.

I Sverige listas den som nära hotad på Artdatabankens rödlista. Under 1900-talet har antalet häckande par kraftigt varierat i Sverige. I början av seklet minskade beståndet kraftigt i hela Östersjöområdet men senare under 1950-talet ökade antalet igen, bland annat på grund av fridlysning i Danmark. Nu minskar arten återigen, sedan millennieskiftet med mellan 15 och 30 %. Beståndet uppskattades 2020 till mellan 9 200 och 12 200 häckande individer.

Taxonomi och namn
Carl von Linné beskrev arten 1758 som Anas Tadorna i tionde upplagan av Systema naturae. Den äldsta skriftliga källa där det svenska trivialnamnet nämns är från 1790 och allmänt anses att förledet grav- kommer av artens vana att häcka i hålor i marken. Gravand har även kallats gravgås, jugås (på Gotland), brandgås och ringgås.

How Did Bingo Originate? The History Of Bingo Explained
By Brooke Keaton June 4, 2020
Bingo is still one of the most popular games and forms of gambling played today. That's pretty impressive staying power, considering it's estimated to be around 490 years old.
After experiencing a huge boom period in post-World War II Britain, Bingo's popularity slowly dived into decline during the 1990s. But recently, its conversion into an online game has helped breathe new life and excitement into this gambling old-guard.
But how did Bingo begin? And where did it come from? Stay tuned as Casino.org takes a look at the history and future of the famous game…

Where Bingo Began
Bingo's origins are believed to be in Italy, where it is said the game began life as a lottery called 'Il Gioco del Lotto d'Italia', in 1530.
From there you can trace its path roughly as a favorite of the French aristocracy, where it was known as 'Le Lotto', before finally arriving on British shores.
It's thought that bingo evolved into something resembling the game of chance we know and love today, when it first arrived in France. And by 1778 it was roaringly popular.
By the 18th century, the game had found a lasting home for itself in Britain, being widely played across industrial towns and cities, before finding a market in other nations, including the US.
Where Bingo Got Its Name
Evidence suggests the game was first dubbed 'Bingo' in the US, in 1929.
Legend has it that a toy manufacturer from Long Island, named Edwin S Lowe, first played the game at a carnival in Georgia, where it had become known as 'Beano' due to beans being used to mark numbers.
Bingo was born in Pittsburgh in the 1920s but was originally called what? Get 100 Bubble Pop credits! pic.twitter.com/cchJ7lzuob
— CoGo's (@CoGosCo) July 23, 2016
As the story goes, Lowe loved the game so much he popularized it by playing with his friends, one of which was so elated at winning she shouted "Bingo!" instead of "Beano!".
Lowe is said to have gone on to print cards, increase the number of possible combinations, and package it as a game before selling it under the name of 'Bingo'.
Fun fact: this success led to Lowe eventually selling another iconic game, Yahtzee.
In its golden age, Bingo became popular with US troops, and British army and navy personnel during World War I and World War II.
The game was often used as a distraction and form of entertainment during the difficult interwar and post-war years, which was when it also began to be used as a way to raise funds for community and charity projects.
The Online Revolution
Gambling and gaming are sectors that have embraced the online world with enthusiasm. Players can now access a wide variety of games online with just a touch of their keyboard, or a swipe of a touchscreen.
So it's easy to see how technology has revived once popular games that were previously teetering on the brink of 'extinction'. Bingo is one such game.
Bingo is big business, with the industry being worth an estimated £1.3 billion in the UK alone. And online Bingo is having a notable impact.
Cyberbingo.com, which was established way back in 1996, is believed to have been the first ever online Bingo site.
But it was not until 2003 when, in co-ordination with the massive online poker movement, virtual bingo really made a name for itself with many dedicated sites being created.
Another notable milestone occurred 2013, when 15 Network — an online bingo players' network — officially launched and enabled the game to move into the lucrative mobile gaming market.
It hasn't looked back since, with revenues increasing every year.
But it's not just due to online innovations either, with Bingo venues managing to attract increasingly younger audiences and even students through inventive twists surrounding music, nightclubs and dance moves, as well as cheap food and drink.
What's Bingo-ing On?
Bingo has undoubtedly come a long way from its 16th century Italian origins. And it's now even almost unrecognizable from its glory days in 1950s and 60s Britain.

But its rich history, ability to adapt and travel well, and to endure evolutionary phases, is all part of its charm.
Originating in Italy, evolving in France, being revolutionized in Britain, and becoming commercialized in the US; it doesn't get more international than that.
And Bingo's latest boom is showing no signs of slowing.
The game has even taken the coronavirus pandemic in its stride, by the playing of socially-distant games on streets, online and via communication platforms such a Zoom.
One particularly inventive idea includes playing Bingo with friends while watching movies together over streaming platforms and live chats, by noting down famous phrases and lines you expect to hear, instead of numbers.
We can't wait to see how the game reinvents itself next.

Archterra is a small architectural practice located in Margaret River, Western Australia. Designed by Archterra, Bush House is a single family house with an area of 168 square meters, surrounded by nature and flooded with light. Located in an existing clearing within a section of remnant marri/ jarrah bushland this owner-built bush pavilion seeks to distill into built form, the feelings of camping under a simple sheltering tarp.
Diagrammatically, the houses' simple rectangular plan is separated east-west into sleeping and living zones and delineated by a change in floor level and a grounding rammed earth wall that continues thru the house into the outdoors.
Taking cues from the Californian cases study houses of the 40s, 50s and 60s, a 3.6m structural grid locates prefabricated steel frames that enabled the main support structure to be erected in a day and for infill timber framing to be subsequently carried out by the owner-builder within these frames under the protection of a simple single roof plane. The galvanised steel framing is expressed both internally and externally and its mottled patina continues to change as it ages.
Environmental sustainability is intrinsic to the design: passive measures such as efficient cross flow ventilation for summer cooling and calculated eaves overhangs for warming winter sun penetration are teamed with active measures such as power self sufficiency from a 3kW ground mounted solar array, a solar hot water system and a worm farm blackwater filtration system that irrigates the garden with nutrient rich water.
External materials were selected to be largely self finishing to minimise maintenance: zincalume steel, rammed earth, glass – all decking is recycled jarrah.

2022 US Open Cup: Which NPSL teams could qualify?
Posted by Jake Sillick | August 18, 2021

The 2021 National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) season has now finished with the Denton Diablos FC lifting the trophy by defeating Tulsa Athletic. With the entire season completed, we can take a look at which teams will have the highest priority of qualifying for the 2022 Lamar Hunt US Open Cup.
How this list is made is determined by using the format previously used in the 2020 US Open Cup Open Division Handbook as well as the newly-released 2022 US Open Cup Open Division Handbook.
After years of either steady or increasing berth totals for teams between 2011 and 2018, the NPSL experienced its first decrease in tournament slots in 2019 going from 18 (22 after including last minute Play-in teams) to 14. This stayed steady for the 2020 tournament with 14 entrants before COVID-19 would cancel both the 2020 and 2021 tournaments. With expansion coming across the board from Major League Soccer (MLS), to USL League One (USL1), and the newly-created National Independent Soccer Association (NISA), it would seem likely that the number of berths for both NPSL and USL League Two would go down. Official announcements of preliminary allocations of each Open Division pool (USL League Two, NPSL, and Open Division local qualifying) will be coming in August according to the Open Cup calendar.
NPSL's CLASSIFICATION RULES
Heading into the 2022 US Open Cup, the NPSL has 76 teams that are eligible for the competition divided into four regions: East (25), South (20), Midwest (18), and West (13). The West Region had two of its three divisions not participate in the main NPSL league competition this season because of the pandemic and restrictions in western states like California, Washington, and Oregon. As a result, NPSL moved one division, the Lone Star Conference, from the South Region to the West Region. Since tournament bids are staggered in a way to reward regions with more teams, this puts teams from the West at a significant disadvantage after the top eight.
The first eight possible berths are awarded to teams that advanced deep into the 2021 NPSL playoffs. Slots one and two are reserved for the champion and runner-up, respectively. Slots three and four are given to the teams that reached the semifinals and teams five through eight are held by the remaining quarterfinalists.
NPSL ranks largely by points per game, but prioritizes at least one Open Cup bid for every division. It's important to consider where a team plays (conference and division) when you read the teams listed and take extraneous factors into consideration such as teams folding, declaring themselves ineligible, changing leagues, or more.
It's near certain that teams listed in the top eight are all but guaranteed a spot in the 107th edition of the US Open Cup. After that, teams are ranked based on criteria that the NPSL has come up with in accordance with the Open Cup Committee. This information can be found inside the 2022 edition of the handbook (page 15).
With all that out of the way, here are the 2022 NPSL US Open Cup berth rankings:
1st – Denton Diablos FC (NPSL Champion – Lone Star Conference)
Number of US Open Cup appearances: None
The Denton Diablos are the first ever NPSL national champions from the state of Texas and they did it in only their second season. The 5-2 win in the title game against Tulsa Athletic, including a goal from West Ham product and team captain Eoin Wearen in front of front of 2,394 fans at home, capped off a hectic season and frustrating year and a half. Forward Trevor Amann, who scored six goals during the regular season for the fifth-most in the West Region, scored two more in the championship match to lead his side to it's first major trophy.
After leading the Lone Star Conference with an 8-1-1 record, Denton cruised to the conference title beating No. 4 seed Katy 1895 FC and No. 2 seed Laredo Heat SC by a combined score of 10-1. Under normal circumstances, Denton would have advanced to the South Region playoffs following that win. However, with both the Golden Gate and Northwest conferences on hiatus due to COVID-19, the league decided to shift the Lone Star into the west. The Diablos dispatched Southwest champion FC Golden State, 4-2, before edging Cleveland SC on the road, 4-3, in a extra-time national semifinal thriller.
The title win follows the team after it had qualified for the 2020 tournament before it's cancelation. When the 2021 tournament was shrunk down, including the elimination of the entire first round, the team openly voiced their displeasure on social media. Team co-founder Damon Gochneaur talked to TheCup.us last year and finished his remarks by saying:
"Put an asterisk next to this year, because it's not an Open Cup, it's a Closed Cup. But this isn't at all surprising, we began working on our plans for 2022 qualification long ago, and this changes them none."
In the end, those plans were successful as the club looks ahead to the 2022 US Open Cup.

2nd – Tulsa Athletic (NPSL Runner-up – Heartland Conference)
Number of US Open Cup appearances: 3 (2014, 2015, 2017)
Best Open Cup Finish: 2014 Second Round (2-0 loss vs Oklahoma City Energy FC of the USL Pro)
After an appearance in the South Region Final in 2019, Tulsa Athletic followed up their most successful season with a deep playoff run. While the team failed to take home the title against Denton it did secure the second highest priority allocation spot for NPSL teams wanting to make the 2022 US Open Cup.
After finishing second in the Heartland Conference regular season, Tulsa needed two narrow wins in the playoffs to reach the regional stage. A narrow penalty-kick win over expansion side OKC 1889 FC and a narrow 2-1 win over the top seed Demize NPSL gave the team it's second straight conference title. Midfielder Joe Garcia led the team in goals with seven in the regular season and three more during the playoffs. Meanwhile, the backline and players like goalkeeper Bryson Reed kept the team's goals allowed to just nine during the regular season, one of the lowest in the league.
Athletic will be hoping to finally make it's fourth Open Cup appearance next year after it's 2020 entry was stopped due to COVID.
3rd – FC Baltimore Christos (NPSL Semifinalist, East Region Champion – Mid-Atlantic Conference)
Number of US Open Cup appearances: 1 (2018)
Best Open Cup Finish: 2018 First Round (1-1 (4:5 pk) loss vs West Chester United SC of USL of Pennsylvania)

Following a year of ineligibility after not playing enough regular season games, the Mid-Atlantic Conference powerhouse FC Baltimore Christos completed their most successful season since their founding in 2018. A third straight conference title, East Region Championship, and a first trip to the national semifinals (and hosting) earned the group a top priority slot in USOC allocations.
The team went undefeated regular season (8-0-2) as one of the most dangerous dual threat forces in the league. A defense that allowed only eight goals during the regular season was run by committee most of the season. Former Clemson player Michael Zierhoffer and current University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) keeper Jailon Gillespie each played one half during most of the season, and it worked. Combined with an offense lead by England native Kelan Swales and University of Maryland player Ben Bender, who each lead the team with six goals each, and you have a force of young talent. The reshaped conference, which now included Open Cup regular Philadelphia Lone Star FC, never felt like much of a threat.
A bye to the conference final allowed Baltimore to cruise to it's third straight trophy, 3-0, over Lone Star with one goal coming from Guam National Team player Alex Lee. An early second half goal against Hartford City in the East Region semifinals and a penalty kick shootout in the final against FC Motown made sure that Christos' first regional title did not come easy. The team could not carry the momentum into the national semifinals, even as hosts, as Tulsa Athletic escaped with a 1-0 win following an early first half goal.
While Baltimore is hoping to make it's second tournament appearance, the Christos name has become synonymous with the competition. Oddly enough, Christos FC and FC Baltimore Christos have never qualified for the same tournament including the cancelled 2020 edition.
4th – Cleveland SC (NPSL Semifinalist, Midwest Region Champion – Rust Belt Conference)
Fun times in Cleveland again! A second straight trip to the national semifinals, including conference and regional titles, has solidified Cleveland SC as one of the top tier teams in the NPSL. Multiple players stood out this season but goalkeeper Conor Cable stood out earning the 2021 Renegade GK NPSL Golden Glove award from the league. In all, his 12 appearances in 2021 saw him allow just 13 goals including postseason matches. Meanwhile head coach Lewis Dunne earned a second straight spot in the Conference XI selections.
After only winning the Rust Belt Conference by two points over Pittsburgh Hotspurs, Cleveland needed to win in the regional quarterfinals as the lowest ranked conference champion. Former AFC Cleveland star and current team leader Vincent Bell struggled to find the net in the playoffs after leading the team in the regular season (6). Instead, players like Admir Suljevic needed to step up. The Bosnia native scored five goals in the postseason, including both penalty kicks in the regional semifinals against FC Milwaukee Torrent (2-1 win), to help push his team to a second year of Midwest silverware.
Despite losing to Denton Diablos in extra time, 4-3 (the second time the team has lost to the eventual champs), Cleveland is once again in prime position to be The Forest City's representative in the 2021 tournament.
5th – FC Motown (NPSL Quarterfinalist, East Region – Keystone Conference)
Number of US Open Cup appearances: 4 (2016-17 as Clarkstown Eagles*, 2018, 2019)
Best Open Cup Finish: 2018 Round 2 (3-1 loss vs Penn FC of USL)
*Additional appearance in 2017 as local qualifier playing under FC Motown name

FC Motown will be looking to reach the Open Cup for the fourth straight year as an organization. It's a feat not many national league teams can hold themselves to in a world where players move on so regularly. But for Motown, the team's 2021 roster is filled with familiar names, both from their own history and locally. Both defender Roy Boateng and forward Dilly Duka have played professionally within the New York Red Bulls organization. Meanwhile, forward Ryan Peterson made his presence known after he joined the team following a fall championship with Detroit City FC in NISA. After leading the team in goals he was named to both the conference and region XI selections.
After going 0-1-1 in the regular season against Atlantic City FC (following a win being overturned due to a roster infraction), Motown upset the No. 2 seed Aces on the road and held off a late-game comeback, 3-2. In the conference final at home against an unexpected foe, Peterson and former New Amsterdam FC striker Michael Bello each scored a goal to send Celtic to the regionals. What followed in Baltimore was truly both ends of the spectrum when it comes to results; Boateng headed in a 90th minute game winner in the semifinals against Georgia Revolution before three straight missed penalties allowed FC Baltimore Christos to reach the national semifinals.
Motown is still hoping to make a deep run in the tournament to face a professional side. The team's last appearance ended in 2019's First Round to the New York Red Bulls U-23s (USL League Two) in one of the tournament's most exciting matches.
6th – Southern States Soccer Club (NPSL Quarterfinalist, South Region – Gulf Coast Conference)
In a season filled with first-year clubs, Southern States SC is the only one to break the top 15. Despite a three-game scoreless skid midseason , the Stars finished their inaugural year third in the Gulf Coast conference with a record of 9-1-4. Coached by Chelsea Academy product and former Chattanooga FC player Carl Reynolds, the unit is a true mix of local southern talent and overseas players. This includes Oxford, England native and 2020 Seattle Sounders SuperDraft selection Danny Reynolds who led the team with four goals in the regular season.
In the playoffs, a mild upset over No. 2 seed Pensacola FC set up a battle of the underdogs in the conference final. However prior to the match multiple players from No. 4 seed New Orleans Jesters tested positive for COVID-19, forcing the game to be postponed and eventually called off. With one win separating them from the South Region Final, the Stars easily handled Sunshine Conference champion Naples United FC, 5-1, to secure a top eight allocation spot.
If selected for the tournament the Stars could clash with fellow Magnolia State side Mississippi Brilla FC of USL League Two, who also finished their season with a high priority allocation spot.
7th – Minneapolis City SC (NPSL Quarterfinalist, Midwest Region – North Conference)
Going by points-per-game Minneapolis City SC was the regular season champion of the NPSL in 2021. The Crows had the longest winning streak in the league (10 games), scored the most goals of any team during the regular season (44), and had the highest points per game of any team in the league (2.75). Overall the North Conference champions and Midwest Region finalists could be viewed as the most well rounded teams in the country right now.
Their 11-0-1 record was not due to one star player. The team's leading scorer in the regular season, Mohamed Youssef, only netted six goals which tied him for ninth most in the Midwest Region alone. College players like Eli Goldman and local teenage rising star Kevin Andrews, whose played professionally in Portugal with S.U. Sintrense, are only a two of a wide field of rotating names that kept the Crows atop the standings. This was even seen during the playoffs when three different players scored in Minneapolis' 3-0 win over Carpathia FC (including Goldman who scored the game winner).
The most successful season in City's history has put them in the best position to qualify for the tournament that they've ever had. But sufficed to say we've been here before.
When it comes to the US Open Cup the Crows are best known for not taking part in increasingly heart breaking ways. During the 2017 Open Division Local qualifying tournament they violated tournament rules by switching leagues (from the Premier League of America to the NPSL) in the middle of the qualifying process and were disqualified. In 2018, a top seeded Minneapolis was ranked 16th in NPSL Open Cup rankings but the federation reduced the number of entries to 14, leaving them on the outside looking in. Finally, in 2020, the team finally qualified for a tournament and paired to play Chicago FC United (USL2) in the First Round before COVID-19 brought the tournament, and much of the sports world, to a screeching halt.
8th – FC Golden State (NPSL Quarterfinalist, West Region – Southwest Conference)
FC Golden State is the only team from the West Region proper to break the top 15. Since the much larger Lone Star Conference was added to the west in order to make up the numbers following two conferences going on hiatus, the five teams in the Southwest have almost become afterthoughts. Even still, the benefit of a region only having two conferences is that at least one from each has to make the national quarterfinals.
FCGS finished second in their conference with a record of 5-4-1, one point behind the Las Vegas Legends FC. The team's 37 goals scored was helped by the influx of talent from the organizations professional outfit, the Los Angeles Force. Four days after falling in the National Independent Soccer Association championship. striker Cristian Gordillo scored four goals for Golden State against Temecula FC. The Mexican national stuck around the squad and played in all three of the team's playoff matches, scoring two goals in the regional stage. Since this isn't open division local qualifying, players like Gordillo won't be cup-tied come the 2022 tournament.
Of note, sister club FC Golden State Force was unable to play last season in USL League Two due to it's conference going on COVID-19 hiatus. The Force have their own Cup history and were even selected as one of the two open division teams for the 2021 tournament prior to it's cancelation.
9th – Georgia Revolution (East Region – Southeast Conference, 2.5 points per game)
Number of US Open Cup appearances: 2 (2012, 2013)
Best Open Cup Finish: 2012 Second Round (1-0 loss vs Atlanta Silverbacks of NASL)
The Georgia Revolution completely reinvented themselves in the new look Southeast Conference. With the departure of heavyweight Chattanooga FC last year and the fact that the Revs were the only non-expansion side in the six team conference, the team earned it's first winning season since 2013 and won it's first ever conference title. The roster was anything short of familiar however with four-year veteran Sagi Hirsch being the most senior name on the roster on a squad of new faces.
The 8-1-1 record saw Georgia enter the playoffs as the top seed in the conference. A penalty kick win over LSA Athletico Lanier (Louisiana) and a narrow 2-1 win over in-state rival Georgia Storm secured head coach Ricky Davey's side it's biggest accomplishment in team history. The trip to Baltimore for the regional playoffs was short however as a second half comeback by FC Motown knocked the Revs one game short of a top eight allocation.
The east's high team count put the Revolution as the first team on the outside which could mark the end of a near decade tournament doubt.
10th – Miami United (South Region – Sunshine Conference, 2.2 points per game)
Best Open Cup Finish: 2018 Fourth Round (3-0 loss vs Orlando City SC of MLS)

Following the departure of two-time league champion The Miami FC, the other Miami club stepped up its game. Miami United finished first in the highly-competitive conference with a record of 7-1-2 and forward Nicolas Micoli scored the six most goals in the whole league (11). But for the third straight season United's campaign came to an end in the conference final after a huge 4-1 upset by Naples United.
Prior to the 2020 tournament's cancelation the team's Under 23 side earned a spot as an open division local qualifier.
11th – Hartford City FC (East Region – North Atlantic Conference, 2 points per game)
Almost as a follow up to the success of 2019 National Amateur Cup champion Newtown Pride FC, Hartford City FC is looking to become the first open division national league team to qualify since 2010 (Elm City Express). With a 6-2-2 record and North Atlantic Conference title City has a fine resume despite it's relatively early playoff exit.
Every playoff match for Hartford was decided by one goal. A conference semifinal win over expansion side Valeo FC only came thanks to a lone Noah Silverman goal midway through the first half. Against rival Kingston Stockade FC, with a spot in the regional final four at stake, both teams battled with City barely nudging a 3-2 win. The game was 2-2 after 45 minutes but Cooper Knecht's second goal of the night was the only one to find the back of the net in the second half. Even the team's loss in the East Region semifinals was 1-0.
12th – FC Milwaukee Torrent (Midwest Region – Great Lakes Conference, 2.7 points per game)
FC Milwaukee Torrent is hoping to become the first non-open division local side from its city to qualify for the tournament since 2003 (Milwaukee Wave United). After a two year hiatus, the first being self imposed in 2019, Torrent returned to the field and only lost one game in the Great Lakes Conference (9-0-1) regular season. German native Alexander Filian helped lead the team on offense with six goals.
It's strong record earned it a bye into the Midwest Region semifinals but the team still fell to Cleveland SC, 2-1.
13th – Jacksonville Armada FC U-23 (South Region – Gulf Coast Conference, 2.57 points per game)
Number of (Modern Era) US Open Cup appearances: 3 (2012 & 2014 as Jacksonville United FC*, 2017)
Best Open Cup Finish: 2017 Round 2 (3-0 loss vs Tampa Bay Rowdies of USL)
Despite being a reserve side with no first team Jacksonville Armada U-23 dominated the newly created Gulf Coast Conference in 2021. Lead by Armada/Jacksonville United regular Tommy Križanović, the team broke double digit wins in the regular season going 12-0-2. Players like forward Jovoney Brown (9) and Alexandros Lerides (6) were part of an offensive unit that that used younger talent to great effect.
An upset to No. 4 seed New Orleans Jesters in the conference semifinals and the fact that the Sunshine Conference needed a team listed, lowers Armada's ranking into the teens.
14th – West Chester United SC (East Region – Keystone Conference, 2.7 points per game)
Number of US Open Cup appearances: 2 (2016*, 2019*)
*As an Open Division Local qualifier
Best Open Cup Finish: 2016 Round 2 (2-0 loss vs City Islanders FC of USL)
West Chester United finished the Keystone Conference regular season with a record of 9-0-1, enough for the top seed in the playoffs and with one of the highest points per game marks in the league. United was able to accomplish this despite the organization pulling double duty with seasons in both the NPSL and USL League Two. However, a conference semifinal upset to No. 4 seed FC Monmouth crushed any hopes for the team's first deep run in the NPSL playoffs.
There is an interesting situation however. Since West Chester finished atop the Mid Atlantic Division in USL2 they are in line for the third tournament spot from that league. Meaning the team could put both squads in the tournament (with neither being able to face one-another until the final) or they could decline an allocation from one league which would open up a spot for a new team.
15th – Laredo Heat SC (West Region – Lone Star Conference, 2.3 points per game)
Number of US Open Cup appearances: 6
Best Open Cup Finish: 2014 Round 4 (1-0 loss vs Houston Dynamo of MLS)

When the topic of Texas non-professional teams pops up the Laredo Heat are bound to be brought up. The team's six appearances in the tournament makes them one of the most successful open division sides in the Modern Era. This season in the NPSL, the team's 7-2-1 record was bolstered behind one of the best defenses in the league with only eight goals allowed.
However a poor playoff showing and a region switch has severely crippled the Heat's chance to return to the tournament. Since the Lone Star Conference was shifted to the 13 team West Region, the at-large slots are few and far between. Two draws in the regular season kept Laredo out from the first seed in the conference playoffs, and a loss to Denton in the conference final kept the team away from a top eight guaranteed spot.
With the last two tournaments, including 2020, only having 14 NPSL teams take part the Heat are right on the edge of making it.
