# Paril Saddle, Bulgaria

Paril (Bulgarian: Парил) is a mountain saddle (pass) in western Bulgaria between the mountain ranges of Pirin to the north and Slavyanka to the south. It is situated on the territory of the Sandanski and Hadzhidimovo municipalities in Blagoevgrad Province.
The pass is 10.6 km long with a maximum altitude of 1176 m. It connects the Sandanski-Petrich Valley of the river Struma basin in the west and the Gotse Delchev Valley of the river Mesta basin in the east.
It begins to the north-east from the village of Paril at 817 m altitude and runs in western direction upstream of the Chokovitsa valley. It reaches its highest point of 1176 m after 4.6 km and then descends westwards along the valley of the river Chereshar where it terminates after 7 km at an altitude of 756 m.
Paril is traversed by a 10.6 km long section of the III-1906 third-class road Koprivlen–Paril–Katuntsi. This section is in poor condition and is accessible only for off-road vehicles. It is not maintained in winter. During the time of the Ottoman Empire, the road was a major communication artery, but today it has only local importance.
The saddle itself is short, wide and deep with mild slopes and has erosion origin. The geological foundation is predominantly of granite. The soils are brown forest. Paril is covered with beech forests. The saddle is crossed by the E4 European long distance path that links Pirin and Slavyanka. To the south is situated the Alibotush Reserve. At about 10 min to the east is located the Slavyanka refuge, an important starting point for a number of tourist routes in the vicinity.

# CASA–CE

The Broad Convergence for the Salvation of Angola – Electoral Coalition (Portuguese: Convergência Ampla de Salvação de Angola – Coligação Eleitoral, CASA–CE) is a political alliance in Angola that currently includes five parties.

## History

The alliance was formed in March 2012 by Abel Chivukuvuku after he left UNITA and initially comprised 4 parties: the Angolan Free Alliance Majority Party (PALMA), the Party for Democracy and Development in Angola-Patriotic Alliance (PADDA-AP), the Angolan Pacific Party (PPA) and the National Salvation Party of Angola (PNSA). CASA–CE won eight seats in the 2012 National Assembly elections, making it the third largest faction in the National Assembly after the MPLA and UNITA. Ahead of the 2017 elections the Democratic Bloc (BD) and the Democratic Party for the Progress of the National Alliance of Angola (PDP–ANA) joined the alliance, that ended up doubling its representation to 16 seats.
In 2019 following an internal crisis its founder Abel Chivukuvuku was dismissed as leader and excluded from the alliance, with the leader of PADDA–AP André Mendes de Carvalho "Miau" taking its place. Two years later the leader of PALMA Manuel Fernandes taking was elected as a new leader by the coalition members. Later in 2021 BD announced its intention not to join again the coalition for the following legislative election, leading to the suspension of its membership. In the 2022 Angolan general election the coalition lost all its seats.

# Raymond Greene

Charles Raymond Greene (17 April 1901 – 6 December 1982) was a British doctor and an accomplished mountaineer.

## Biography

Greene was born in Berkhamsted. He was the older brother of the novelist Graham Greene and the broadcaster and BBC executive Sir Hugh Greene. He was educated at Berkhamsted School, where his father was the headmaster, and he took a degree in physiology at Pembroke College, Oxford. He qualified as a doctor in 1927 and joined a general practice in Oxford.
He developed his interest in mountaineering whilst at school, restarted the Oxford University mountaineering club and climbed extensively in the Alps. In 1931 he joined an expedition to Mount Kamet in the Himalayas led by Frank Smythe (who was also educated at Berkhamsted School). All the climbers reached the summit at over 25,000 feet, then the highest mountain to have been climbed.
He joined the 1933 Everest expedition led by Hugh Ruttledge as senior doctor, chief intellect, and a competent mountaineer of gigantic physique, being over 6 ft 4in. He was selected to attempt the summit, without oxygen, but suffered heart problems at Camp 5 and had to descend. In 1953 when the mountain was finally climbed, it was Greene who made the announcement on the BBC.
During World War II he worked as a doctor with Special Operations Executive (SOE) and as advisor to the armed forces on the effects of high altitude and cold on the human body.
He went on to become an expert in the treatment of thyroid and other endocrine diseases, migraine, and frostbite. His work with Katharina Dalton resulted in the coining of the term "Premenstrual syndrome" and their research into the subject was subsequently used in criminal cases involving women accused of infanticide and other violent crimes. He was Senior Physician at the Royal Northern Hospital and New End Hospital Hampstead. Between 1960 and 1980 he was chairman of Heinemann Medical Books. He was a fellow of the Royal Zoological Society and diagnosed and treated thyroid problems in Guy the Gorilla at the London Zoo. He was also medical advisor to President Charles de Gaulle during his state visit to England in 1960 and was awarded the Legion of Honour of France. His autobiography, Moments of Being, was published in 1974.

# Battle of Pagallos

The Battle of Pagallos (Spanish: Batalla de Pagallos), or, alternatively Pagayos, was a battle on 8 July 1817 during the Venezuelan War of Independence. In the battle, ships under Antonio Díaz [es] carrying materiel to Simón Bolívar's Patriot army were attacked by eleven Royalist ships in the Orinoco, near the island of Pagallos. Patriots took heavy losses but successfully forced Royalists out of the Orinoco.

## Prelude

During the Guyana Campaign [es], Simón Bolívar's forces pushed east. For resupply, a force headed by Antonio Díaz and his brother Fernando Díaz set out from Margarita Island. They were joined by privateer Luis Brión on 7 June. Two days before, Brión wrote to Bolívar, saying, "I am ready to join you with my squadron of 4 brigs, 6 schooners, 2 felucas, 1 bandra, 9 flecheras and gunboats. I bring cannon, mortars, grenades, shells, muskets, powders, and uniforms."
On 4 July, a flotilla of four flecheras was sent to aid Rafael Rodríguez, stationed at Angostura. To guarantee the success of the operation, 250 soldiers under Bolívar harassed the Royalist gunboats in the area. They were met with a Royalist force under Juan Cosmos who intended to fire on the Patriot ships. Cosmos killed many, and a few officers managed to escape. The flotilla was captured by the Royalists.

## Battle

After passing through the Macareo channel, Fernando Díaz encountered eleven larger ships commanded by Antonio Ambaredes, who belonged to the Spanish station at Guayana La Vieja. Díaz's forces were slaughtered, and only a few survived. The survivors made their way to Antonio Díaz's force and told him about his brother's fate.
The next day, Díaz met the enemy near the island of Pagallos. Díaz was immediately surrounded by Ambaredes' force. Díaz breaks out by targeting three ships which were maneuvering poorly; boarding one ship and beheading several sailors so as to avenge his brother's death. The Royalist force fell back, with the Patriots unable to pursue them, as they sustained major damage. By the fighting's end, Díaz recaptured several flecheras and burned another.

## Aftermath

After the battle, Díaz left for either Maturín or Margarita Island for repairs. The battle ensured Patriot control of the Orinoco, which cut off Miguel de la Torre's forces at Angostura, which the Patriots would take in the Second Battle of Angostura.

# Thun ship canal

The Thun ship canal (German: Thuner Schiffskanal) is a 500-metre (1,600 ft) long canal in the Swiss canton of Bern. Together with a navigable reach of the Aare of similar length, it connects Lake Thun with a quay in the town of Thun adjacent to Thun railway station.
The canal allows shipping services on the lake to serve the town and connect with railway services. It is still in regular use by the Lake Thun passenger ships of the BLS AG.

## History

Shipping services on Lake Thun date back to at least 1834, when the first steamship was introduced to connect the towns of Thun and Interlaken, at each end of the lake. Originally steamers docked at Scherzligen, and in 1861 the Bern–Thun railway line was extended to a terminal there.
In 1923, the station at Scherzligen was merged with that at Thun to create a new central station. Two years later, in 1925, the ship canal was constructed in order to retain the connection between trains and ships.
