Tom Christiansen of Gamezebo called the game "too difficult" and said that this difficulty was fueled by "inconsistency" where sometimes hiding spots would not work.

Beyond the business of being a musician, he is a creative force in Algeria, and his mondol playing credited with raising Algerian music to "higher spheres" in world music. In a feature article, Aljazeera called him an artist with the ability and mastery to be brilliant, able to render the mondol into a respectable instrument. He calls his style of music Casbah Jazz, and fuses jazz with Algerian musical forms to create something new. He has been popular enough to be a repeat instructor and performer at Algerian music festivals. He is also known as a teacher and guest performer at musical festivals in Algeria and Europe, performing not only in nearby Netherlands and France, but as far away as Poland.

His music has been described as a fusion of chaabi with jazz, performed on an Algerian mandole. He has made it his personal mission to change the reputation of the mondol, from an instrument that he couldn't carry in public on the street because of its low reputation to one known on the world stage as an Algerian instrument, one capable of transmitting both Western and Arab feelings. He was inspired by the music of Sheikh M'Hamed El Anka (the "Master of Chaabi", to whom he dedicated his music) and his mondol playing, and Rouan looks to Chaabi to be part of the soul of his own music.

Mohamed Rouane. History
Rouane attended the Municipal Conservatory of Ghermoul in 1992, but gravitated away from Andalusian classical music toward flamenco.
In 1992 he started the group Triana Algiers, which lasted a few months. He worked at a hotel in Tunisia as an instrumentalist for three years. In 1995 he started another group, Méditerranéo, in Algiers, playing gypsy-style flamenco on guitar. He had good success with the group and recorded two albums with them. He developed a reputation as being a good singer a well.

He left Méditerranéo in 2000, starting a solo career. Much of this work is performing instrumentals on his mandole, an effort to increase knowledge of the instrument internationally. His Casbah Jazz records feature his playing lead on a mix of tunes, fusing melodies and rhythms from jazz, chaâbi, tindi (Tuareg music form), andalusian, flamenco, berouali, karkabo and kabyle.

Common to all his later music is his use of the mandole as a lead instrument. Much of the music he does are instrumentals. Rouane has said repeatedly that his use of the mandole for his music is a tribute to the Chaabi musician El Anka, the musician who helped develop the instrument as it is used today in Algeria. Although Rouane blends different musical forms with jazz, he draws the "soul" of his works from Chaabi for inspiration.

When his first album came out, He was disappointed to hear it called a work of tourism. His second album was different. It was a part of his "project in spiritual music," in which the story told by his mondol is reflective, moving toward "spiritual purity."

During the music festival at Djemila (13th Arab Festival of Djemila) in the summer of 2017, he was reunited on stage with Selma Kouiret, a singer from his trio Méditerranéo. The two also performed together in Algiers in July 2017, her singing and him accompanying with his instrument.

Meyer v. Holley, 537 U.S. 280 (2003), was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that the Fair Housing Act imposes strict liability on residential real estate corporations for racial discrimination, but the officers and owners of the corporation generally will not be held vicariously liable for offenses committed by the corporation's employees of agents. In a unanimous opinion written by Justice Stephen Breyer, the Court held that the Fair Housing Act "imposes liability without fault upon the employer in accordance with traditional agency principles, i. e., it normally imposes vicarious liability upon the corporation but not upon its officers or owners."

The Great Battles of Alexander.
The Great Battles of Alexander is a 1997 turn-based computer wargame developed by Erudite Software and published by Interactive Magic. Adapted from the GMT Games physical wargame of the same name, it depicts 10 of Alexander the Great's key conflicts, and simulates the interplay between Ancient Macedonian battle tactics and its rival military doctrines. Gameplay occurs at the tactical level: players direct predetermined armies on discrete battlefields, in a manner that one commentator compared to chess.

Development of Alexander began at Erudite Software in 1994, under the direction of Mark Herman, co-designer of the original board game. Its production cycle was long and troubled: following several delays, the game was dropped in 1996 by publisher Strategic Simulations. Interactive Magic ultimately signed Erudite to publish Alexander, and installed S. Craig Taylor as the game's producer. The team sought to make Alexander accessible despite the complexity of the wargame genre, and focused on polishing its audiovisual presentation and interface, the latter of which was inspired by Panzer General.

Critics praised Alexanders historical accuracy, graphics and audio, but noted its frame rate as a low point; a writer for PC Gamer UK argued that this problem helped to ruin the overall product. The title received a "Game of the Month" award from Jerry Pournelle of Byte. After the release of Alexander in June 1997, Erudite and Interactive Magic created two sequel products: The Great Battles of Hannibal (1997) and The Great Battles of Caesar (1998). These three games formed the Great Battles series, and were released together in the Great Battles: Collector's Edition compilation in late 1998. Their game engine was later reused in Erudite's North vs. South.

The Great Battles of Alexander is a computer wargame, which recreates the historical military exploits of Alexander the Great via turn-based gameplay. The game takes place on a hex map, and simulates combat at the tactical level; the player navigates an army of predetermined units on discrete battlefields, in a manner that one commentator compared to chess. Ten historical engagements—such as the Battle of the Hydaspes and the Siege of Pelium—are included.

The Great Battles of Alexander. Production
The Great Battles of Alexander began development at Erudite Software in 1994, as an adaptation of the titular board wargame designed by Mark Herman and Richard Berg, first published by GMT Games in 1991. The physical Great Battles series was known as a commercial success in a period of falling sales for board games. Alexanders computer adaptation was first announced in late 1994, under the direction of Mark Herman, and was created with assistance from GMT. Erudite, a business software developer founded in 1990, initially hoped to self-publish the game. However, the company had partnered with publisher Strategic Simulations (SSI) by the time of Alexanders announcement. At that point, the game was set to include play-by-email (PBEM) support, and Herman explained his plan to apply artificial intelligence (AI) routines he had created originally for the United States Department of Defense. A summer 1995 release was planned.

The Great Battles of Alexander. Production
Alexander experienced a long and troubled development cycle; Scott Udell of Computer Games Strategy Plus later called it "a 'lost child' of the computer wargaming world, moving from one publisher to another and then seeming to disappear completely." By August 1995, production delays at Erudite related to Windows 95 development had pushed the game's projected release back to the following year. As development progressed into 1996, Computer Gaming Worlds Terry Coleman reported that SSI had grown "tired of waiting" for Erudite to complete the game. As a result, the company dropped Alexander in the first half of the year, and the team was left to search for a new publisher. However, Coleman wrote at the time that "two other major wargame publishers" were rumored to be in talks with the developer. That May, Erudite was purchased for $12.8 million by GSE Systems, a developer of simulation programs for energy companies. The following month, the publication rights for Alexander were picked up by Interactive Magic. Udell called this an example of the publisher's "trend wherein they give new life to an orphan wargame product", as it had done with Harpoon Classic 97 and American Civil War: From Sumter to Appomattox.

Interactive Magic and Erudite Software released a game demo for Alexander in January 1997. Later that month, Interactive Magic declared its intent to publish the title alongside two sequel products: The Great Battles of Hannibal and The Great Battles of Caesar. These three games together formed the Great Battles computer wargame series, all produced by the publisher's S. Craig Taylor. At the time, Alexander was slated for release in early 1997; the sequels were given unspecified release dates. In May, Interactive Magic rescheduled Alexander for mid-June. Erudite completed the game on June 12, and it was ultimately released on the 22nd, at a price of roughly $50.

The Great Battles of Alexander. Design
Mark Herman described Alexander as an attempt to simulate the "interplay" between Ancient Macedonian battle tactics and the tactics of that nation's opponents, such as Persia and Greece. Based on his research into ancient war, he determined that Macedonia relied on a combined arms approach, while Persia favored ranged combat and Greece relied on infantry charges. To capture this clash via game mechanics, Herman categorized each unit into a specific tactical system: when units of rival tactical systems collide in shock combat, a bonus is awarded to the unit with the better system. He noted, "Many wargames treat all combat units as a singular entity while only varying speed and strength to show unit distinctions. I believe this approach is fundamentally wrong and removes most of what is important about tactical interactions in combat." Seeking also to capture the effects of leadership in the ancient world, he created the game's phasing turn structure, which allowed leaders to better display their initiative and range of influence in gameplay.

The Great Battles of Alexander. Production
Alexander was adapted from the 1995 Deluxe re-release of the board game, rather than the original 1991 version. In converting a physical game design to computers, Herman hoped to "capture the essence of [the] original intent while using the strength of the new venue [...] to its best advantage." He considered the computer adaptation to be a "simulation", and a more accurate portrayal of Alexander the Great's battles than had been possible in board form. This led him to streamline, automate or eliminate several of the board version's features, including the trumping mechanic, whereby a leader with a high initiative rating could roll dice for a chance to interrupt an enemy leader's momentum. Trumping had been created to cut down on die rolls in the original; with a computer to automate this aspect, he felt that it was no longer necessary. Features from the board game that interrupted game flow, including those that required regular notification prompts, were removed. Herman argued that adapting board rules too literally made for poor computer gameplay, and that "the less times you remind the player he is playing [on] a computer and the more times you keep the interface environment constant and uninterrupted the better".

The Great Battles of Alexander. Production
Erudite and Interactive Magic hoped to make Alexander both accessible to wargame newcomers and appealing to hardcore enthusiasts in the genre. They sought a product "so friendly that you can jump right in and enjoy it", which offered historical accuracy for experienced players and educational value for novices, according to co-designer Gene Billingsley. A heavy focus was placed on polishing the audiovisual presentation, which Bill Stealey of Interactive Magic believed would give the game a wide appeal. Craig Taylor noted the team's choice of a miniature wargaming graphical style, in opposition to wargame visuals akin to "a few figures [pasted] to the top of a counter". Inspiration for the game's audio was drawn from an episode of You Are There, in which Walter Cronkite performs a mock interview with Alexander the Great during the Battle of Gaugamela. Taylor likened the sequence's sound design to "a really intense football game". The team also simplified and streamlined the game's interface; at the time, Billingsley criticized earlier wargames for being needlessly inaccessible to newcomers. He remarked, "We believe strongly in the Panzer General type of interface, because it was so successful in getting the game to the player."

The reviewer for Computer Games Strategy Plus, Robert Mayer, shared Pournelle's regard for Alexanders intuitive simplicity. "[F]or a boardgame conversion, this is as good as it gets", he argued. Mayer and Computer Gaming Worlds Jim Cobb offered plaudits to the game's visuals and interface, although they disagreed on the quality of the AI, about which Mayer had reservations. However, they concurred on the overall strength of the product: Cobb called Alexander "simply the best-ever ancients system", and a wargame "otherwise flawless" beyond frame rate problems and minor historical oversights.

PC Gamer US wargame columnist William R. Trotter continued the praise for Alexanders graphics and, along with Mayer, its audio. However, he echoed Cobb's complaints about its poor frame rate, while noting the "steep learning curve" and the bugs and errors within the interface. Although Trotter found these issues "minor in comparison to the overall achievement", James Weston of the magazine's British edition argued that frame rate and AI problems ruined the product. Despite enjoying the interface and campaign, he remarked that Alexander "will disappoint."

Writing for PC PowerPlay in Australia, reviewer March Stepnik compared Alexander favorably to real-time strategy titles such as Command & Conquer and Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness. Like Trotter, who considered the game to be "packed with authenticity", Stepnik singled out Alexanders "authentic feel" and deep, realistic strategy as high points. While he found the graphics mediocre and music unsuitable, he enjoyed the game overall. "Just don't be expecting any cheap and easy thrills — this will require some major investment", Stepnik concluded.

After the release of Alexander, Erudite Software and Interactive Magic launched the sequel, The Great Battles of Hannibal, in November 1997. The two games were followed by The Great Battles of Caesar early the next year. The Great Battles: Collector's Edition, which joined Alexander with its sequels, was released in December 1998. The series' game engine was later reused in North vs. South: The Great American Civil War, developed by Erudite and published by Interactive Magic.

The Great Battles of Hannibal. Development
The Great Battles of Hannibal was announced by developer Erudite Software and publisher Interactive Magic in early 1997, alongside its sequel Caesar. Erudite had signed with Interactive Magic in mid-1996 to publish Hannibals predecessor, The Great Battles of Alexander, after that game's long and troubled development history. The publisher declared its intent to publish all three games as the Great Battles series in January 1997, and assigned S. Craig Taylor to be their producer. GMT Games assisted in the creation of the series, and each entry was based on one of its board titles. While Alexander derived from GMT's board wargame of the same name, Erudite built Hannibal on SPQR, part of the same series. The physical Great Battles titles were known as commercial successes in a period of falling sales for the medium.

The Great Battles of Hannibal. Development
Hannibal was designed to simulate Roman infantry tactics in addition to the Ancient Macedonian battle tactics that had appeared in Alexander. However, the team reused the core mechanical systems of Alexanders computer version with minor additions. Designer Mark Herman wrote before the game's release, "It has been heartening to discover that the game system is flexible enough to be easily modified to reflect the historical evolution of ancient warfare. By adding two rules: Pre-shock missile fire and the ability to give line commands we have been able to capture the critical aspects of the Roman tactical system". Hannibal also shares Alexanders game engine, which the team upgraded for the sequel. Erudite increased the level of graphical detail and, in response to requests from players of Alexander, added an undo command for certain moves. The team sought to improve Hannibals artificial intelligence compared to that of its predecessor as well.

Scott Udell of Computer Games Strategy Plus called Hannibal an improvement upon its predecessor, in that it retained Alexanders best features while fixing its worst. He praised it as "a wonderfully refreshing play aesthetic that few recent wargames have approached, let alone matched." In PC Gamer US, William R. Trotter likewise praised the game and compared it positively to Alexander. Describing Hannibals place in the Great Battles series, he summarized, "It is perhaps unwise to suggest that any wargame is 'the last word' on a given subject [...] but it's hard to imagine how these three games could be outclassed in the foreseeable future."

The Great Battles of Caesar. Development
Erudite based Caesar on GMT's board wargame The Great Battles of Julius Caesar, but built it with a modified form of the mechanical game system it had previously used in Alexander and Hannibal. To simulate the Marian tactical reforms that occurred after Hannibal's defeat, the team altered the series' mechanics to change the basic unit from the manipular legion, with its three lines (hastati, principes and triarii) of infantry, to the more homogeneous Marian legion. However, Erudite sought "only slightly" to represent the many tactical changes during this era, such as by mimicking the expansion of Rome's chain of command via the inclusion of section commanders. Caesar shares its predecessors' game engine, which the team updated for the project. Visual upgrades were included as well.

Computer Gaming Worlds Jim Cobb called Caesar "not only the best of the Great Battles series to date, it's also the most realistic ancients-era game yet on the PC." While he found its graphics middling, and noted that the slow performance continued from its predecessors, Cobb summarized, "If you're willing to put up with its eccentricities, Caesar does a remarkable job of recreating ancient warfare." Mark H. Walker of Computer Games Strategy Plus wrote that Caesar is "fun, challenging, and mildly addictive", but also "annoyingly flawed and somewhat dated." Like Cobb, he criticized the game's slow performance, and called the campaign mode "as strategically challenging as a game of Chutes and Ladders." Walker summarized Caesar as "worth a look".

Den Borgerlige Velgørenhedsselskab (The Society of Civic Charity) was founded in Præstø on 7 May 1852 with the aim of providing homes and economic support for elderly, respectable widows of the middle class. The site was donated for the project by the town of Præstø and the building was completed in 1869. The building contained eight small apartments. Residents had to be at least 50 years old widows and it was also a requirement that either they or their husband had been members of the society and paid made at least the smallest required annual contribution. In 1899, each resident received an annual sum of DKK 50 as well as a portion of firewood. The society sold the building to Præstø Municipality in the mid-1980s. It changed hands again in 2009 and was subsequently refurbished.

Giwa barracks is a military detention center located in northeastern Nigeria, near the city of Maiduguri. Since 2014, the facility has been attacked multiple times by Boko Haram, as prisoners in the facility are mostly confirmed or suspected members of Boko Haram and their families. In 2016, the prison held an estimated 1,200 prisoners. Human rights groups such as Amnesty International have accused the Nigerian military of mistreating and torturing prisoners, as well as running the facility "inhumanely".

Hurricane Franklin.
Hurricane Franklin was the first hurricane to make landfall in the Mexican state of Veracruz since Hurricane Karl in 2010. The sixth named storm, first hurricane and the first of ten consecutive hurricanes of the 2017 Atlantic hurricane season, Franklin formed on August 7 out of a tropical wave that was first tracked in the southeastern Caribbean Sea on August 3. The storm strengthened within a favorable environment and made landfall on the Yucatán Peninsula as a moderate tropical storm early on August 8 north of Belize. Weakening occurred as it crossed the peninsula, but Franklin re-emerged into the Bay of Campeche later that day, restrengthening quickly to become the season's first hurricane. It made landfall near Lechuguillas, Veracruz, on August 10 as a Category 1 hurricane, before rapidly weakening over the mountainous terrain of Mexico and dissipating shortly afterwards. On August 12, the storm's remnant mid-level circulation combined with a developing low in the Eastern Pacific to form Tropical Storm Jova.

Franklin's main impacts were located in Eastern Mexico, specifically in the state of Veracruz where Franklin made landfall as a hurricane. Strong winds downed trees and power lines, in addition to damaging homes and crops. Heavy rains flooded some rivers and caused a few landslides. Damages in that area totaled US$15 million. Other areas that Franklin affected, primarily by bringing heavy rain, included the Yucatán Peninsula and Belize. No deaths were reported to have occurred due to Franklin.

Hurricane Franklin. Meteorological history
On August 3, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) began monitoring a tropical wave that was located in the southeastern Caribbean Sea for possible tropical cyclogenesis. Relatively little change in organization occurred over the next two to three days as it moved westward at , although global models continued to indicate that it could develop further once it entered to the Bay of Campeche. Early on August 5, convection associated with the tropical wave increased, signaling organization. Continued improvement of the wave led to development of a broad area of low pressure on August 6 roughly east of Honduras, which led to the designation of Potential Tropical Cyclone Seven at 21:00 UTC that day. A buoy over the western Caribbean near the disturbance reported sustained gale-force winds, and combined analysis with satellite images indicated that the circulation had become better defined, prompting the NHC to upgrade the disturbance to Tropical Storm Franklin at 00:00 UTC on August 7.

Located in a relatively favorable environment, with the only inhibiting factor being proximity to land, Franklin strengthened to an initial peak intensity of 60 mph (95 km/h) on August 7 before moving ashore near Pulticub, Quintana Roo, at 03:00 UTC on August 8. The cyclone weakened considerably while over the peninsula, however the satellite presentation remained well-defined, and the inner core tightened up considerably. Later that day, Franklin emerged into the Bay of Campeche and immediately began strengthening again, becoming a hurricane at 21:00 UTC on August 9. It achieved its peak intensity at 00:00 UTC on August 10 with winds of 85 mph (140 km/h) and a pressure of , before making landfall in Vega de Alatorre with winds of 80 mph (130 km/h) about five hours later. The cyclone rapidly weakened over the mountainous terrain of Mexico and dissipated shortly afterwards. The mid-level circulation of Franklin, however, remained intact as it traversed the mountainous terrain, and the remnants eventually regenerated into Tropical Storm Jova in the Eastern Pacific, early on August 12.

Immediately upon classification of Franklin as a potential tropical cyclone, tropical storm warnings were issued for much of the eastern side of the Yucatán Peninsula on August 6; a small portion of the coastline was issued a hurricane watch with the possibility of Franklin nearing hurricane intensity as it approached the coastline the next night. Approximately 330 people were reported to have gone into storm shelters, and around 2,200 relocated from the islands near the coastline to farther inland in advance of the storm. In Belize, damage was reported to be minimal as the storm tracked slightly more northwards than expected, lessening impacts. However, some areas still received up to a foot of rain.

Some rivers were flooded, roads were cut off, and a few landslides were reported. A total of 1,562 people evacuated their homes in Huauchinango, located in the state of Puebla. Shelters were prepared while sailors and soldiers performed evacuations throughout mountainous regions as a precautionary measure. Damages throughout the region totaled US$15 million.

List of patriarchs of the Assyrian Church of the East.
During the period between the middle of the 16th century and the beginning of the 19th century, that was marked by several internal divisions, traditionalist branch of the Church of the East was represented at first by the senior Eliya line of patriarchs who resided in the Rabban Hormizd Monastery near Alqosh, and later also by the younger Shimun line of patriarch who resided in Qodshanis. Patriarchs of the Shimun line were traditionalists since the 17th century. In 1804, the last patriarch of the Eliya line died without successor, thus enabling the patriarch Shimun XVI (1780–1820) of the Qodshanis line to become the sole primate of the entire traditionalist branch of the Church of the East.

Sacred Rock (Presque Isle County).
Sacred Rock is an Engadine-dolomite boulder, now 20 feet long by 8 feet wide and 6 feet high, on the shore of Lake Huron in Northern Lower Michigan. It is located 6 miles north of Rogers City, Michigan, approximately 0.5 miles north of P.H. Hoeft State Park. Located in front of private cottages, the best way to reach the site is by turning east off of U.S. 23 onto State Park Road (just north of the state park) and parking where the road ends at the lake, then walking 1/2 mile north along the beach to the rock. Usually the rock is found partly buried in the sand, but when water levels are at their highest levels the rock can be partly or fully submerged in the lake.

Sacred Rock (Presque Isle County). History
Presque Isle County was inhabited by migratory Native Americans who used the area for hunting and fishing. The rock is located midway between the Ocqueoc River and Swan River, and served as a key boundary marker for competing tribes, as well as an altar for animal sacrifices. It was probably deposited by the last receding glaciers which formed the Great Lakes, and likely originated from the Lake Superior region of Canada. The rock is now a recognized tourism site, and listed as a historic & archaeological site by the Northeast Michigan Regional Planning Commission.

Sacred Rock (Presque Isle County). Folklore
Frederick Denny Larke wrote the following in 1909: "The history of the Sacred Rock is this: Ages ago, where the rock now stands, was the boundary line between the hunting grounds of two Indian tribes; the chief of the one was exceedingly aggressive and frequently trespassed upon the preserves of the neighboring tribe, and, in so doing, had caused much trouble and bloodshed to follow these excursions. At last the chiefs of the two tribes met, when the one as usual was trespassing over the border, and an altercation ensued which would probably have again resulted in a bloody war between the conflicting tribes, but Kitchie Manitou, the Great Spirit, who was up Lake Superior at the time, became disgusted with both of them, seized hold of the Sacred Rock and hurled it down, crushing both the chiefs beneath its immense weight, which was so great, that the banks above the beach have been sliding and trembling ever since. Hence the Rock became an object of worship to the Indian races."

Others say that when it rains, the blood from the dead Indian chiefs can be seen on the rock.

Laurus International School of Science Tokyo. History
Laurus International opened its first school in 2002 (as Bilinga ) to provide instruction in English from pre-school to Kindergarten (K3). The school was initially created to offer a more global choice of education than available through the national education system in Japan, often seen as lecture based and less than progressive.
The school places emphasis on science as a means to encourage students to inquire about the world around them.
