# National Association of Colored Baseball Clubs of the United States and Cuba

The National Association of Colored Baseball Clubs of the United States and Cuba was an early professional Negro baseball league that operated on the East Coast of the United States from 1907 to 1910.

## Founding

The league, also called the National Association, was founded by H. Walter Schlichter of the Philadelphia Giants and the promoter Nat Strong. It originally had five member clubs: the Brooklyn Royal Giants, Cuban Giants, Cuban Stars of Havana, Cuban X-Giants, and Philadelphia Giants. Three of these clubs had been members of the multiracial International League of Independent Professional Base Ball Clubs in 1906, though there was apparently no other connection between the two leagues. The Cuban X-Giants folded before play started in 1907.
According to newspaper reports, the National Association was "modeled on the lines of the National and American League white clubs." Its organization "was made necessary by the financial results of the season of 1906, when every owner of a colored ball club in this vicinity lost money, due to the exorbitant salaries paid to the players and the keen competition among the various clubs."
The chief aims of the league were "to place colored baseball on a solid business basis and to protect both players and managers and prevent jumping from one club to another, on the slightest pretext, as was done this last season. It is intended to protect the managers from unscrupulous and unreliable managers of independent clubs who engage the colored clubs and unceremoniously cancel the dates at the last moment if so inclined."
The Philadelphia Giants won the first pennant in 1907. The Brooklyn Royal Giants were champions in 1908 and 1909. The league appears to have folded in 1910, and that year's champion is uncertain.

### Name of league

Aside from the National Association, this league was also referred to as the International League of Colored Baseball Clubs of America and Cuba or ILBCAC. Similar to the International League of Independent Professional Base Ball Clubs, it was also referred to as the International League. These casual references have led to the two leagues being confused for each other.

## Teams

Initially, the Cuban X-Giants were included in the league but folded prior to the inaugural 1907 season. The league's members were otherwise constant for its duration. The Cuban Giants and Cuban Stars were based in New York City at this time.
* Brooklyn Royal Giants 1907-1910
* Cuban Giants 1907-1909
* Cuban Stars of Havana 1907-1910
* Philadelphia Giants 1907-1910

## Champions

Complete records are difficult to locate, but each season appeared to be around 15-30 league games per team, although some teams played only a handful of games. The following teams were declared colored champions:
* 1907 Philadelphia Giants
* 1908 Brooklyn Royal Giants
* 1909 Brooklyn Royal Giants
* 1910 unknown

# National Council of Schools and Programs of Professional Psychology

The National Council of Schools and Programs of Professional Psychology (NCSPP) was founded in 1976 to enhance the quality of graduate training in professional psychology. NCSPP is an organization consisting of member programs, associate programs, and observer programs within universities and colleges and schools of professional psychology.
During the council's annual events which are summer meetings and mid-winter conferences, delegates meet for several days to discuss national and international developments in the training and practice of professional psychologists, to develop standards for the education and training of professional psychologists, and to develop articles and position statements regarding public policy impacting the education and training of professional psychologists. Books, articles, and papers have been produced by delegates as a result of these meetings. These events provide a forum for information about the functioning of schools and programs of professional psychology. The council networks with other organizations with similar interests and goals, and offers consultation on the development and maintenance of schools and programs of professional psychology. NCSPP also initiates and supports the development of theory, research, evaluation, quality assurance methods, and programs in a variety of areas of professional psychology, and shares this information with the public and professional community.
# National Council of Sierra Leone

The National Council of Sierra Leone was the main opposition party in Sierra Leone in the early 1950s.
The organisation was founded by former members of the Sierra Leonean branch of the National Congress of British West Africa around Herbert Bankole-Bright and Isaac Wallace-Johnson in 1950. It gained much of its support from the Creole people and some Oku people of the Freetown colony.
Initially, some proposed that the group be named the "Ogboni Society", but it instead took the name National Council of the Colony of Sierra Leone, later shortened to "National Council of Sierra Leone".
The National Council stood in opposition to the Stevenson Constitution of 1947, instead calling for a federal state, with the colony and the protectorate having separate assemblies.
In the 1951 elections, it initially appeared that the National Council had won more seats than the Sierra Leone People's Party (SLPP). However, all the independent members from the protectorate later declared for the SLPP, placing the National Council a distant second. It became the main opposition. When the SLPP failed to act on the constitution issue, the Council attempted to block all government business.
The group also organised protests over the constitution. The Positive Action Group faction led by Otto During attempted to instigated legal action against the Governor of Sierra Leone, claiming that the imposition of the constitution was itself unconstitutional.
In 1954, Wallace-Johnson split away to found the United Sierra Leone Progressive Party. The National Council lost all of its seats at the 1957 election, slumping to only 1.8% of the votes cast. The main opposition became Wallace-Johnson's group. Bankole-Bright died the following year, and the party appears to have collapsed.

# National Identification and Registration Authority

The National Identification and Registration Authority (NIRA) is a government-owned organisation in Uganda, mandated to register births and deaths in the country and to develop a National Identification Register for both citizens and legally resident non-citizens. NIRA is also mandated to issue national identification numbers and cards for every citizen and lawfully admitted alien.

## Location

The headquarters of the NIRA are temporarily located at Independence Park, Kololo Airstrip, on Kololo Hill, in Kampala, Uganda's capital city. The coordinates of Kololo Airstrip are 0°19'37.0"N, 32°35'34.0"E (Latitude:0.326955; Longitude:32.592787).

## Overview

NIRA was created by the Ugandan parliament on 26 March 2015 in the law known as the Registration of Persons Act 2015. Before then, registration of personal vital data was gathered under various laws by different government agencies, including the Uganda Registration Services Bureau, the Electoral Commission, the Directorate of Citizenship and Immigration Control, the Uganda Revenue Authority, various local governments, and others. To harmonize and standardize the collection of personal identifying information of all citizens and legally resident non-citizens, the Ugandan parliament empowered NIRA to be solely responsible for and to share that data with other government agencies that may require that data. NIRA is also specifically charged with developing a National Identification Register of the county's citizens and legally resident non-citizens.
As of April 2016, work on fully establishing the agency is continuing. A board of directors is yet to be fully constituted by the Minister of Internal Affairs. Registration of people between ages 0 and 16 years has not yet started. Mechanisms for registering Ugandans living and working outside Uganda are still being worked out. As at November 2015, there was no law authorizing the re-issuance of replacement cards to recipients who had lost the originals. At that time, over 16 million cards had been issued, but close to three million citizens had not picked up their IDs.

## Governance

The executive director of NIRA is Rosemary Kisembo an ICT expert and administrator who was sworn in during the year 2021.

# National Route A002 (Argentina)

National Route A002 Autopista Teniente General Pablo Riccheri connects Avenida General Paz with Ministro Pistarini International Airport (Ezeiza).

## History

Established by Decree N°10116 on 29 May 1952, in honor of General Pablo Riccheri, the freeway was originally built in 1948 with three lanes on each side. It joins the partidos of La Matanza, Esteban Echeverría, and Ezeiza. The 16 km (10 mi) freeway travels through the cities of (from north to south) Ciudad Madero, Tapiales, Aldo Bonzi, Ciudad Evita, and Ezeiza.
The freeway was scene of the Ezeiza Massacre, in which at least 13 died in clashes between left and right-wing Peronists vying for the best vantage points from which to view the motorcade for exiled former President Juan Perón upon his return to Argentina on June 20, 1973.
It was leased to Autopistas del Sur in 1994, as part of a privatization drive by President Carlos Menem. The company has established a system of pneumatic tubes and computers, carrying the money collected from the toll booths to a safe location. Approximately 4.5 million vehicles pass through the Riccheri toll plaza, located in Ciudad Madero, per month.
