# Don't Go Alone

Don't Go Alone is a 1989 video game published by Accolade.

## Gameplay

Don't Go Alone is a game in which the players search the ten levels of an old monster-filled house, to find and kill the evil Ancient One.

## Reception

Scorpia reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "the game is mainly an exercise in monster-mash, although on a more limited scale than most CRPG's. The simple interface, very nice auto-mapping, balanced combat, interesting monster graphics, formula components, and unique use of fear are all pluses, but these are overshadowed by the large minus of having little substantive to do in the game. Essentially, this game is best for those with little or no experience with CRPG's."

# Ghorband River

The Ghorband is a river of Afghanistan, flowing through Parwan Province. It is a tributary of the Panjshir River, then a sub-tributary of the Indus River, then the Kabul River.
The Ghorband runs entirely in Parwan province, where it gives its name to the Ghorband District. It originates in the eastern Shibar Pass (which connects the provinces of Parwan and Bamyan, or watersheds of the Ghorband and Kunduz River) and passes in an eastbound direction which it maintains throughout most of its course. It runs along the south and the imposing central range of the Hindu Kush, receiving meltwater in the Shibar Pass area of Salang. It flows from this in a long valley between the high range of the Hindu Kush (north) and Koh-i-Baba in the south. It then converges with the Panjchir, on its right bank, 10 kilometers east of Charikar. It flows through the districts of Sheikh Ali, Chinwari, Ghorband and Surkh Parsa.
The Ghorband receives many tributaries from both left and right, all fed mainly by snowmelt in spring and summer. Its main tributary is the Turkman but the Salang River converges on the left bank, and its valley is an important access route to the pass and towards the northern half of the country. The Salang converges with the Ghorband at the locality of Jabal Saraj.

# Ariel (clipper)

Ariel was a clipper ship famous for making fast voyages between China and England in the late 1860s. She is most famous for almost winning The Great Tea Race of 1866, an unofficial race between Fuzhou, China and London with the first tea crop of the 1866 season.

## Description

Ariel was a full-rigged ship of 853 tons net register, measuring 197.4 feet (60.2 m) x 33.9 feet x 21 feet (6.4 m). She was built in 1865 by Robert Steele & Company, Greenock for Shaw, Lowther & Maxton of London. Like the majority of tea clippers launched after 1864, she was composite built, of timber planking over iron frames.$^{:136}$

## Great Tea Race of 1866

A premium was paid for the first consignment of tea to reach London in each season. The clipper Fiery Cross left Fuzhou on 29 May and Ariel, Taeping and Serica on the 30th. On 6 September Taeping docked twenty minutes ahead of Ariel, and about two hours ahead of Serica. Fiery Cross and Taitsing arrived two days later.
After 99 days and almost 16,000 miles (26,000 km) the leaders were still tied and raced within sight of each other the full length of the English Channel and into the Thames. Taeping, under Captain McKinnon, drew less water and was able to tie up in the London docks twenty minutes ahead of Ariel, under Captain Keay. Taeping divided her winnings of 10 shillings per ton with the owners of Ariel and Captain McKinnon divided the captain's £100 with Captain Keay, who hailed from Anstruther.
With the completion of the Suez Canal the tea trade was taken over by steamships and most of the clippers transferred to the Australian trade, carrying general cargo to either Sydney or Melbourne, and returning with wool — for which a premium price was also paid on the first shipments of the season.

## Loss of the ship

Ariel sailed from London for Sydney on 31 January 1872, but failed to arrive. She is assumed by most who knew her to have been fatally pooped (i.e, had a wave break over the stern) - her fine lines always made her at risk of this.$^{:157}$$^{:55}$ Around August 1872 the remains of a teak-built ship's life-boat carrying a brass fitting with the gothic-script letter A were found on King Island in Bass Strait. It was believed to have come from the missing vessel, which, if the assumption was correct, probably foundered in the Southern Ocean after rounding the Cape of Good Hope.
# Panama at the 1992 Summer Paralympics

Panama competed at the 1992 Summer Paralympics in Barcelona, Spain. 2 competitors from Panama won 3 medals, 1 gold and 2 silver, and so finished joint 38th in the medal table with Bulgaria.
