# Stånga Games

The Stånga Games (in Swedish Stångaspelen), also referred to as the "Gotland Olympic Games", is an annual sports competition in Stånga on the Swedish island of Gotland. The first Stånga Games were held on 27 July 1924. The games are held during five days around the second weekend in July and gathers about 2000 participants. Competitions are held in various Gutnish disciplines, some dating back to the Viking Age.

## History

The first competition was held in 1882. From the late 1880s, general Gotland athletics competitions were held several times per decade. In 1912, a special association was formed - "Föreningen Gotländsk Idrott" (FGI) with the mission of promoting the Gotland sports games. In 1924, FGI decided to arrange a Gothic sport competition in Stånga. Reinhold Dahlgren (1886-1968), a high school teacher from Östergarn organized the competition annually starting 1933 calling it officially Stångaspelen. The Stånga municipality gave the games a central location in Stånga with the new Stangmalmen racing stadium ready for competition in 1956.
When Reinhold Dahlgren retired at the age of 75, his sons Tore Dahlgren (1914-1973) and Anders Dahlgren (1924-1997) took over the responsibility of organizing the games.

# Astro Blaster

Astro Blaster is a space-themed fixed shooter released in arcades by Sega in 1981. It was designed and programmed by Gary Shannon and Barbara Michalec. The game uses speech synthesis and during attract mode a voice says "Fighter pilots needed in sector wars...play Astro Blaster!" It is the first video game to have a copyright registered in Japan.

## Gameplay

The player controls a ship which can fire and move left or right. The player must continuously monitor the onscreen temperature and fuel gauges. If the ship's laser overheats, it is disabled until it cools; and if fuel is depleted, the game ends regardless of how many lives the player has left. The player must battle through waves of enemies, which attack with varied formations and flight patterns. When a wave is destroyed, a new one appears. The Warp function is usable once per sector or life, temporarily slowing all enemy vessels and making them easier to shoot.
At the end of each sector, the player flies through an asteroid belt and can get extra fuel by shooting fireballs. Then the mother ship is met, where the player docks and refuels for the next sector.
The player is rewarded for completing each of 25 undisclosed tasks or "secret bonuses", such as shooting all enemies in a specific order or shooting all enemies without missing.

## Reception

In his 1981 book How to Master the Video Games, Tom Hirschfeld stated that Astro Blaster challenges players with 29 different attacks across six sectors, with each sector becoming progressively more difficult.

## Legacy

The 1981 Apple II game Threshold was inspired by seeing an Astro Blaster machine.
An Astro Blaster cabinet can be seen in Shenmue.
Astro Blaster is one of five unlockable games in the PlayStation Portable version of Sega Genesis Collection.
The current world record high score was set in 1982 and is held by Gus Pappas with 299,100 points.

# Pakistan Islamic Medical Association

Pakistan Islamic Medical Association (PIMA) is a Pakistani doctors association established in October 1979.

## History

The organization dates back to 1979, when fifty doctors from all over Pakistan met at the Student’s Teacher’s Center (STC) of the Punjab University, Lahore, in October. They laid down the foundation of an organization named Pakistan Doctors Forum (PDF), a fraternity of the medical profession. The PDF carried on its mission for two years, initially emphasizing organizational work and the membership drive. In April 1981, during a PDF convention in Rawalpindi, the organization was renamed the 'Pakistan Islamic Medical Association' (PIMA). PIMA is an active member of the Federation of Islamic Medical Association (FIMA), an international forum for collaboration of all Islamic medical associations around the globe. In the journey through 25 years, PIMA strives to provide a forum for Muslim medical professionals to use their profession to help people in need and to provide relief to oppressed humanity in Pakistan and around the globe.

## Activities

Since its inception, PIMA has been striving to achieve its goals in the professional development and training of doctors while promoting an Islamic way of life through its regular Dawah, training workshops and seminars. PIMA relief has consistently been at the forefront during national and global disasters, including earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, cyclones, and wars. PIMA has established medical institutions of international repute, contributing to quality medical, dental and allied specialties.
Through its regular contribution to health awareness, education and community services, PIMA has made efforts intended at improving the health of the masses. PIMA health institutions, such as hospitals, clinics, free medical camps and specialized campaigns, seek to alleviate the suffering of those who were otherwise not cared for. PIMA has developed specialized expertise in managing disasters of all sorts, whether artificial or natural. The Prevention of Blindness Trust, a key PIMA project, provides services for the prevention of blindness both in Pakistan and internationally. PIMA established projects of international repute in collaboration with FIMA, such as the Consortium of Islamic Medical Colleges (CIMCO), Islamic Hospital Consortium (IHC), FIMA Save Vision, FIMA Save Dignity and many other projects.

# Badr (satellite)

Badr was a series of satellites operated by Pakistan. The first satellite, Badr-1, was launched in July 1990. It was the first SUPARCO-engineered object to orbit the Earth. That launch took place on July 16, 1990, as part of the International Frequency Registration Bureau. The Urdu word "Badr" literally means "Full Moon," and its launch vehicle was the Chinese Long March 2E space rocket.
The Badr series consisted of two satellites. Both were developed by SUPARCO. Badr-1 successfully completed its designated life. Badr-B was the second spacecraft and the first Earth observation satellite launched by Pakistan. It was placed into Sun-synchronous orbit on December 10, 2001, at 5:19 PM UTC.
The Badr program was decommissioned in 2012 after Badr-B completed its successful mission. The Pakistan Remote Sensing Satellite has replaced the Badr program since 2018.
# House Committee on Communications

The House Committee on Communications is a standing committee of the Nigerian National Assembly tasked with legislative oversight of the communications sector, including telecommunications, information technology, and digital economy policies.
Established under the provisions of the National Assembly Act, the committee plays a role in shaping Nigeria's communications framework, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards, and fostering sectoral growth. It collaborates with key agencies such as the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), the Federal Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy, and the Universal Service Provision Fund (USPF), among others, to advance Nigeria's communications infrastructure and promote accessibility across the nation.

## History

The committee was established to oversee legislative matters related to the communications sector. Its creation aligns with the provisions of Section 62(1) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria:
       "Each House of the National Assembly shall have a Committee or Committees to which shall be referred all such matters as may be referred to it by the House."
This empowers the National Assembly to establish committees for specialized functions. It was formed to provide legislative oversight, ensure effective policy implementation, and support the development of Nigeria's communications infrastructure.
Over the years, the committee has significantly advanced Nigeria's telecommunications and digital landscape by collaborating with key government agencies such as the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), the Federal Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy, and the Universal Service Provision Fund (USPF). These collaborations have helped shape policies to regulate the communications sector, expand access to technology, and foster innovation.
It responsibilities include scrutinizing proposed legislation, monitoring the implementation of government policies, and ensuring compliance with international standards. It also addresses digital inclusion, cybersecurity, and infrastructure development issues to support Nigeria's transition into a global digital economy.

## Leadership

The committee is chaired by Hon. Akeem Adeniyi Adeyemi in the current 10th Assembly (2023–2027), with Hon. Unyime Idem serving as the deputy chairman.
# Maheder Haileselassie

Maheder Haileselassie Tadese (born 1990) is an Ethiopian artist and photographer. She won the 2023 Contemporary African Photography Prize and she was chosen as one of the BBC's 100 inspiring women in 2024 as a "climate pioneer".

## Life

Haileselassie was born and raised in Addis Ababa in 1990. She was at university studying civil engineering. Her interest became photography in her final year when she took photos of her friends with her Blackberry phone. In the following year she upgraded to an IPhone and by 2013 her primary interest was photography.
She runs the Center for Photography to encourage younger photographers in Ethiopia. She has criticised the work of photographer Mahesh Shantaram who has tried to document the effect of colonialism, but she finds his work problematic as she feels that he creates poses that are for the pleasure of the viewer. She thinks this is a colonial view where women are needlessly naked to fascinate a western audience.
Haileselassie won the 2023 Contemporary African Photography Prize. The other four winning photographers were Nadia Ettwein, Yassmin Forte, Carlos Idun-Tawiah and Léonard Pongo.
The African Photography Encounters 14th biennial takes the theme “Kuma, La Parole” (Kuma, the Word). The artistic director is Lassana Igo Diarra with a team that includes Nadine Hounkpatin, Manthia Diawara, Soufiane Er-Rahoui, Oyindamola (Fakeye) Faithfull and Patrick Mudekereza. The thirty artists selected for the group exhibition titled La Panafricane include Haileselassie, Bernard Akoi-Jackson of Ghana, Jeannette Ehlers of Denmark and Trinidad and Tobago and the Moroccan Mounir Fatmi (Morocco).
She was chosen as one of the BBC's 100 inspiring women in 2024. The BBC and The Guardian drew attention to her work in 2024 where she documents the effect of climate change on young girls. The rate of child marriage in Somalia had more than doubled as families try to cope with the shortage of food and water. Her photographs show the girls and they document the effect of the drought on the landscape.
