# Bogud

Bogud (died 31 BC) was a Berber king who ruled the western part of Mauretania from 49 BC to 38 BC. He is speculated to have been either the cousin or the brother of Bocchus II, though the lineage is unknown. An important ally of Julius Caesar, Bogud later supported Mark Antony in the power struggle between Antony and Octavian. He was killed at the siege of Methone prior to the Battle of Actium and his territory was seized by Bocchus.

## Biography
### Early career

Bogud was married to Eunoë. At an unspecified time he mounted an expedition along the Atlantic coast, seemingly venturing into the tropics. When he returned he presented his wife with gigantic reeds and asparagus he had found on the journey.

### Support for Caesar

Both Bogud and Bocchus backed the Roman general Julius Caesar in his struggle against the supporters of Pompey the Great in Africa (49–45 BC). In an attempt to undermine support for Caesar, Gnaeus Pompey attacked Bogud's territory, but was driven back. This only provoked Bogud into full-scale action against the Pompeians. Caesar sent P. Sitius to aid Bogud in an attack on the territory of King Juba I of Numidia, whose army was advancing to join the Pompeians. Sitius and Bogud captured the town of Cirta, forcing Juba to return home with his army, abandoning the Pompeians.
On Caesar's victory over the Pompeian forces led by Metellus Scipio at the Battle of Thapsus (on the coast of modern Tunisia) in 46 BC, Bocchus was given control of much of Numidia taken from Juba. Bogud also participated in the Battle of Munda, launching an important attack on the rear of the Pompeian army that provoked the Pompeians in a confused reaction that soon broke their forces.

### Spain

During Quintus Cassius Longinus's governorship of Hispania Ulterior, a rebellion occurred which threatened Caesar's regime, which had never been popular in Spain. Cassius asked for support, which Bogud provided. However, Marcus Aemilius Lepidus intervened on Caesar's orders to mediate. Lepidus helped to restore order, but negotiated an agreement with the rebels. A surprise attack by Bogud's auxiliaries was defeated and Cassius was forced to resign. Bogud then withdrew back to Mauretania.

### Support for Antony

After Caesar was assassinated in 44 BC, the two Mauretanian rulers took opposite sides in the split that developed in the Caesarian forces. Bogud supported Mark Antony, while Bocchus stood by Octavian (later the emperor Augustus). About 38 BC, Bocchus seized Bogud's territory while Bogud was campaigning in Spain and forced him to flee to Antony in the east. Bocchus then became sole ruler of Mauretania and was so confirmed by Octavian. Bogud died in Antony's Actium campaign, during the fighting at Methone. On his own death, King Bocchus II willed Mauretania to Octavian in 33 BC.
# The Drive (Thomson)

It was based on sketches of Thomson's composed while he was a fire ranger in the park.
# Carl Lovelace

## Biography

Lovelace was a Private in Troop D of the First United States Volunteer Cavalry, also known as Theodore Roosevelt's "Rough Riders". He participated in the battle at La Guasimas on June 24, 1898, Kettle and San Juan Hills on July 1, 1898, and the siege of Santiago.

## Business career

Harris was born on December 4, 1871, to John and Bridget (Gaughan) Harris. Harris' father was a vaudeville producer and Harris' work in the entertainment industry began with his father's company, Harris Comedy and Specialty Co. In 1897 Harris Comedy and Specialty Co. showed Pittsburgh's first motion picture. On June 19, 1905, Harris and his brother-in-law, Harry Davis opened a small film theater on a Smithfield Street storefront in Downtown Pittsburgh. The theater, known as the Nickelodeon, was the first devoted exclusively for the exhibition of movies. The Harris-Davis company owned theaters in Western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, and New York.
In addition to owning theaters, Harris held shares in two National League baseball clubs. From November 15, 1910, to December 17, 1910, Harris served as the principal owner of the Boston Doves. Following his sale of the Boston club, Harris purchased interest in the Pittsburgh Pirates.

# Jason Croker

Jason Croker (born 10 March 1973) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer. An Australian international and New South Wales State of Origin representative utility player, he previously played club football in the NRL for the Canberra Raiders, with whom he won the 1994 Winfield Cup and set club records for both highest total games and tries. Croker saw out his career with French Super League club Catalans Dragons.
Croker competed in and won the Gladiator Individual Sports Athletes Challenge in 1995.

## Playing career
### Canberra

Croker was named the Canberra Raiders' rookie of the year in 1991 and he went on to play somewhat of a utility position over his long career, filling into many spots throughout his team. His 120 tries for Canberra was a club record until it was surpassed by Jarrod Croker and in 2000 he was named the Raiders' player of the year. He also gained selection in Australia's 2000 World Cup winning squad.
In 2006, Croker played his 300th game for Canberra, becoming the first to achieve this honour for the club.
In Croker's last game in Canberra he was given the keys to the city by Chief Minister Jon Stanhope in front of over 21,000 fans.

### Catalans Dragons

Croker signed a two-year deal to play for the French team the Catalans Dragons from 2007, which, after two successful campaigns, was extended by a further year in 2008. Croker's experience was of increasing value to the fledgling French side, and his physical fitness and hunger for the game are admired by many. He is regarded fondly by many Catalans Dragons fans for an audacious drop-goal scored in a 29–22 win over the Bradford Bulls at Odsal in March 2007.
Croker was the oldest player in the Super League until retiring at the end of the 2009 season at age 36.

### Return to Australia

He currently acts as a player-coach for the Gungahlin Bulls in the Canberra Raiders Cup. Croker was named in Canberra's 2016 NRL Auckland Nines squad.

# 2020–21 Nashville Predators season

The 2020–21 Nashville Predators season was the 23rd season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 25, 1997. John Hynes entered his second season as coach and first full season as head coach of the team. On December 20, 2020, the league temporarily realigned into four divisions with no conferences due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing closure of the Canada–United States border. As a result of this realignment, the Predators remained in the Central Division this season and would only play games against the other teams in their realigned division during the regular season and potentially the first two rounds of the playoffs.
On May 8, 2021, the Predators clinched a playoff berth after a 3–1 win over the Carolina Hurricanes. They were eliminated from the playoffs in the first round with a 4–3 overtime loss to the Carolina Hurricanes in game six.
