# Retreat Fire

The Retreat Fire or Rimrock Retreat Fire was a wildfire between Rimrock Lake and the town of Tieton in Yakima County, Washington.
The fire began on July 23, 2024 as the result of a propane tank explosion at a Rimrock Retreat cabin. As of August 12, 2024, it had burned over 45,601 acres (18,454 ha), including three residences and two other buildings.
The fire caused the closure of U.S. Route 12 across White Pass, and "evacuate now" orders were issued to residents near Rimrock Lake on July 24. Outdoor city amenities and events were closed in Yakima on July 25 due to poor air quality, which was "unhealthy" or "very unhealthy" for all people at monitoring stations across the Yakima Valley. An emergency across Yakima County was declared by the government on July 26.
A Red Cross shelter for displaced persons was opened on July 26 at the high school in Naches. Residents of Tieton were ordered to prepare to evacuate on July 28.
White Pass was closed from July 23 to August 17 due to the wildfire.
The more than century-old Tieton Main Canal was shut down by managers who were unable to assess damage from the fire. Much of the canal is not approachable by motor vehicle and must be repaired by teams on foot with wheelbarrows.
The fire burned many power poles leading up to the White Pass summit, which could take months to replace.
The evacuation order was lifted on August 16, and U.S. 12 was reopened on August 17, though portions were one lane only. As of September 8, 2024, the fire was contained though authorities were hesitant to declare it fully out until snow begins to fall. Repairs have begun on both the canal and U.S. 12.
# Barton Creek

Barton Creek is a tributary that feeds the Colorado River as it flows through the Texas Hill Country. The creek passes through some of the more scenic areas in Greater Austin, surrounded in many parts by a greenbelt of protected lands that serves as a habitat for many indigenous species of flora and fauna. The creek passes through Barton Creek Greenbelt and is fed by Barton Springs.

## Course

The creek begins in northern Hays County and flows 40 miles (64 km) east through Austin, draining into the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone in southwest Austin. The stream then reemerges at Barton Springs and proceeds toward Lady Bird Lake (formerly Town Lake), where it joins with the Colorado River. The main entrance to Airmen's Cave is in the banks of Barton Creek.

## History

During the 17th and 18th centuries, Barton Creek is believed to have hosted Tonkawa and Comanche Indian camps. The creek is named after William Barton, who built a house near Barton Springs in 1837. As Austin grew the springs became a popular resort, and the natural swimming hole was replaced with a pool some time during the 1930s.

### Water quality conservation

Development in Austin in the 1970s and 1980s began to threaten both the creek's water quality and wildlife. Heavy rainfall often led to contamination of the stream due to runoff and sewer line seepage from the upstream subdivisions entering the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone.
Following public outcry, the Austin City Council passed the Barton Creek watershed ordinance in 1980 and the Comprehensive Watersheds Ordinance in 1986. Proposals in 1990 to develop land in the watershed resulted in more public outcry, which spurred passage of the Save Our Springs Citizens' Initiative of 1992, which severely limited construction, curtailed tax exemptions, established pollution control standards and implemented methods for reducing accidental contamination.

### Ecological conservation

The middle part of the creek runs through Barton Creek Greenbelt, a public recreation space of protected land surrounding the creek. In 1994 The Nature Conservancy purchased land surrounding the upper creek to establish the Barton Creek Habitat Preserve, a 4,084-acre (1,653 ha) habitat maintained in cooperation with local residents. The reserve is home to old-growth stands of juniper, oak, cedar and elm trees, rare woodland flowers and plants such as Heller's marbleseed and gravelbar brickellbush, endangered golden-cheeked warblers and black-capped vireos, and the threatened Guadalupe bass.

## Recreation

During rainy seasons, upper Barton Creek hosts water recreation including kayaking, tubing, and swimming. The Lower Barton Creek Greenbelt features these water sports year-round with swimming in Barton Springs Pool, and kayaking and canoeing in the creek fed with the discharge from the springs.

# White River (California)

The White River is a small river in the southern San Joaquin Valley of the U.S. state of California. The river is 50.7 miles (81.6 km) long and flows entirely within Tulare County. It rises at roughly 6,800 feet (2,100 m) above sea level in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada on the northwest slope of Bull Run Peak. It flows west, receiving several seasonal tributaries including Arrastre Creek, Coarse Gold Creek and Coho Creek, passing the small settlement of White River. As it nears the border of Tulare County and Kern County its surface flow disappears. The dry riverbed continues northwest into the agricultural San Joaquin Valley and is diverted into canals for flood control and irrigation purposes. The river terminates about 5 miles (8.0 km) north of Delano, short of the historic Tulare Lake.

# Chee-Chai Alien

Chee-Chai Alien (ちっちゃいエイリアン, Chitchai Eirian, "Tiny Alien") is a video game developed by Creatures, Inc. and released on the Game Boy Color in Japan on February 27, 2001. It was designed and developed by Hirokazu Tanaka.
It utilizes the Game Boy Color's infrared port and has a built-in rumble feature. It is compatible with the Game Boy Printer. Because the game must use the Game Boy Color's IR sensor, the game will display an error screen when inserted in a Game Boy or a Game Boy Advance, being one of the only Game Boy Color games that the GBA does not support.
Players use the infrared sensor on the Game Boy Color to find artificial light sources, to which the Game Pak responds by rumbling. The game comes with a "spectrum communicator", a plastic device that can be attached to the Game Boy Color to enhance the sensitivity of the infrared sensor. However, even with the attachment, the game still struggled to detect light sources.

## Legacy

The Game Boy Advance game Nonono Puzzle Chalien, also developed by Creatures, was spun off from Chee-Chai Alien. One of the minigames from Nonono Puzzle Chalien was then spun off as the DSiWare title Spin Six, developed by Zener Works. Spin Six is the only one of the three to be released outside Japan.
# Verrazano Bridge (Maryland)

The Verrazano Bridge is a bridge on Maryland Route 611 over Sinepuxent Bay that connects Assateague Island to the mainland.
The crossing, built in 1964, contains two spans, one carrying automobiles and the other carrying pedestrians and bicycles. It is owned by Maryland, not by the National Park Service. NPS, however, does own part of Assateague Island.

## History

Like the larger and more famous Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, it is named for Giovanni da Verrazzano. Maryland ferry service ended when the Verrazano Bridge was built in 1964.
# Australian Reform Party

The Australian Reform Party (ARP) was an Australian political party founded in 1996 and based in Victoria, focusing on gun rights following the Port Arthur massacre. It was registered in 1997 with the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC), and was also registered at the state level in Victoria and Western Australia.
Federal MP Graeme Campbell was briefly a member of the party after it merged with his newly-formed Australia First Party and became known as the Australia First Reform Party (AFRP), but the parties split after around one week.
The party was deregistered by the AEC in 2002, but remained active online with a website that was updated until early 2019.

## History

The ARP was founded on 25 May 1996 as the Australian Reform Movement (ARM), one month after the Port Arthur massacre which led to the federal Howard government introducing significant changes to Australia's gun laws. Its founder was Ted Drane, the president of the Sporting Shooters Association of Australia (SSAA). Shortly after its formation, federal MP Graeme Campbell, a former member of the Australian Labor Party, formed the Australia First Party (AFP) after being re-elected as an independent at the federal election in March 1996.
In June 1996, Drane and Campbell began discussions about merging their parties. Drane favoured the "Australian Reform" name (taking inspiration for the name from the Reform Party of Canada), while Campbell preferred "Australia First". On 1 July 1996, the first branch of the new party was formed at the Rowville Football Club with the combined name "Australia First Reform Party" (AFRP).
On 5 July 1996, a day before Drane was supposed to meet with Campbell in Canberra to discuss the new party, Drane withdrew after discovering that the Australian League of Rights planned to associate with the AFRP. The ARP applied for registration with the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) on 31 July 1996, while Campbell returned to his own party.
At meeting of the ARP on 12 October 1996, which was scheduled to be addressed by independent MP Pauline Hanson, had to be moved from the University of Melbourne to a secret venue to avoid a protest by students and other groups. Drane later criticised Hanson after she formed her own political party in 1997, saying she was "unprofessional" and may have squandered a chance to unite the right in Australia.
The first election contested by the ARP was the 1997 Gippsland West state by-election in Victoria, which saw the party finish third with 9.7% of the vote.
In September 1998, artist Pro Hart donated a painting to ARP, which depicted prime minister John Howard wearing a swastika and giving a Nazi salute.
The ARP was deregistered by the AEC on 18 January 2002. It remained active online until shortly after the 2018 Victorian state election, when its website stopped updating.

The Shayrat and Tiyas airbase ambush was an armed attack on Shayrat Airbase and the Tiyas Military Airbase in the Homs Governorate by the Free Syrian Army on 25 November 2011, during the Syrian civil war. As the Syrian government had banned foreign journalists from entering the country, the exact location of the attack is unknown, although it was believed to have been at a military airbase in Homs Governorate between Homs and Palmyra, possibly at the military airfield at 34°31′30″N 37°37′22″E﻿ / ﻿34.52500°N 37.62278°E﻿ / 34.52500; 37.62278. Ten Syrian Air Force personnel were killed.

## The attack

On the morning of 25 November 2011, members of the Free Syrian Army, composed mostly of regular Syrian army defectors, attacked a bus carrying pilots and other personnel of the Syrian Air Force. Scramble.nl indicated that possible locations of the attack were the Shayrat and Tiyas airbases. Ten Syrian Air Force personnel were killed, including "six elite military pilots", one technical officer and three other base personnel.
The Syrian military confirmed that the ambush had taken place. A spokesman on state television said that "an armed terrorist group undertook an evil assassination plot that martyred six pilots, a technical officer and three other personnel on an air force base between Homs and Palmyra." The spokesman vowed revenge and claimed the attack was proof of foreign involvement in the uprising.
The Free Syrian Army claimed seven military pilots were killed in the ambush.
