The team plays at the Estadio Yamil Ríos Ugarte. Established in 2013, the club has won the LBPN title four times in 2014, 2016, 2021 and 2024. The Gigantes also won the 2016 Latin American Series, becoming the first Nicaraguan team to win the Latin American Series.

## History

The Gigantes de Rivas were established in 2013, ahead of the 2013–14 Nicaraguan Professional Baseball League season. The team's first roster included players such as Randall Simon, managed by Dominican Manny Collado. The Gigantes won their first LBPN championship on their maiden season, defeating Indios del Bóer in the final series and participated in the 2014 Latin American Series representing Nicaragua, where they finished fourth with a 1–2 record.
Rivas won the Nicaraguan championship again in the 2015–16 season, this time under manager Germán Mesa. Gigantes defeated Oriental de Granada in the final series to claim their second LBPN title. The team represented Nicaragua in the 2016 Latin American Series, where they were crowned champions defeating Caimanes de Barranquilla in the final game, becoming the first Nicaraguan team to win the Latin American Series.
The team won its third championship in the 2020–21 season under Puerto Rican manager Joel Fuentes. The Gigantes defeated Tigres de Chinandega in the final series.
Gigantes de Rivas claimed its fourth national championship in the 2023–24 season, defeating Tren del Norte 4 games to 2 in the final series. Gigantes outfielder Francisco Peguero was awarded as the Most Valuable Player of the championship series. Germán Mesa repeated as manager, winning his second title with the club and third LBPN championship (the other one was in the 2012–13 season with Tigres de Chinandega).
The club was expected to represent Nicaragua in the nation's debut in the 2024 Caribbean Series. However, Nicaragua did not send the entire Gigantes squad; instead, a squad comprising the best Nicaraguan players will represent Nicaragua in the tournament. Nevertheless, various media sources, as well as official CPBC and MLB press releases, continued to refer to the Nicaraguan team as Gigantes. The Nicaraguan team, managed by Marvin Benard, finished the tournament in last place with a 0–6 record, being eliminated in the first round.

# Death of Yazdgerd (film)

Death of Yazdgerd (Persian: مرگ یزدگرد, Marg-e Yazdgerd) is a 1982 Iranian drama film by Bahram Beyzai based on the play of the same name.

## Plot

The story of the film is based on the murder of Yazdgerd III, the last emperor of Sasanian Persia, who while being hard pressed by the Arabs on his western flank, fled to Marv where he was slain by a miller in a mill, in which he had been taking refuge.
The film begins with the Zoroastrian high priest (magus) of the Persian Empire, accompanied by the imperial army commander entering the mill to try the miller accused of murdering the emperor. The miller, his wife and his daughter, while trying to exculpate themselves, all express a different version of the same incident. As the story shifts, more questions come up than are answered.
A central theme in the film is the social disaffection among the general population of Persia at the eve of the Arab Islamic conquests and inequality in the highly class-based society, in which the wealthy elite and the Magi had amassed a disproportionate amount of wealth that they owed to heavy taxation and the benefactions of the pious.

## Book

The play was translated into English by Manuchehr Anvar and published in Tehran. Another English translation is named Death of the King, published in Stories from the Rains of Love and Death: Four Plays from Iran in Canada.

## Cast

# The South-Carolina and American General Gazette

The South-Carolina and American General Gazette was an 18th-century newspaper published in colonial Charleston, South Carolina.

## History

The paper was founded as The South-Carolina Weekly Gazette in 1758 by Robert Wells and G. Bruce, and changed names to The South-Carolina and American General Gazette in 1764. Aside from some periods of suspension during the American Revolutionary War, it published until February 1781. When Charleston and the paper fell under British control, it published under the title The Royal Gazette from March 1781 and into 1782. Wells was a loyalist and left for England in 1775 once war seemed inevitable, and the paper was continued by his son John Wells.
The paper's competition was the South Carolina Gazette (founded 1732) and South-Carolina Gazette and Country Journal (founded 1765), all located in Charleston. Wells' paper was the only one of the three to support the Stamp Act. But it was also the only paper in the state to publish the entirety of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. An original copy of that publication (the August 2–14, 1776 issue) was sold at auction for $140,000 in 2000.
When Wells' son John took over the paper in 1775, he moved its political stance to the cause of independence, but primarily as a business decision. He then switched back to a Loyalist view in July 1780. In January 1781, his brother William C. Wells came to town to assist, and to report that under British control, the paper now had received the royal printing business. The paper changed names to The Royal Gazette in March 1781. After the British loss at the Battle of Yorktown, John had to consider switching sides yet again, but decided to leave town with his brother when the British left in December 1782. This marked the end of the newspaper. William returned to England permanently, but John received permission to return to Charleston in 1792.

# Gryfów Śląski

Gryfów Śląski, simplified to Gryfów (German: Greiffenberg), is a historic town in Lwówek Śląski County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland. It is the seat of the administrative district (gmina) called Gmina Gryfów Śląski. As of 2019, the town has a population of 6,636. The town is located between Zgorzelec and Jelenia Góra, on the Kwisa river. It lies approximately 16 km (10 mi) south-west of Lwówek Śląski, and 114 km (71 mi) west of the regional capital Wrocław.

## History

The region formed part of Poland since the 10th century and the first ruler Mieszko I of Poland. The settlement of Gryfów arose from a castle built by the Piast Duke Bolesław I the Tall of Silesia near the border with Upper Lusatia. It received town privileges by Polish Duke Bolesław II the Bald in 1242. Defensive town walls were built during the rule of Duke Bolko I the Strict in the 13th century. In 1354, Duke Bolko II the Small granted new privileges, established an annual fair, and modelled the town rights after nearby Lwówek Śląski. The ruins of the medieval Gryf Castle, a possession of the House of Schaffgotsch from 1400 on, are still visible south of the town. In 1274 Gryfów became part of the Silesian Duchy of Jawor, the southwesternmost duchy of fragmented medieval Poland, which finally was incorporated by the Kingdom of Bohemia in 1392.
Floods hit the city in 1469, 1550 and 1609, droughts in 1472, 1590 and 1616, and epidemics in 1582, 1585 and 1633. In 1589 the town's first pharmacy was founded. In 1617 the first big fair took place. During the Thirty Years' War, the town was plundered twice by the Swedes, in 1639 and 1645. After the First Silesian War it was annexed by Prussia in 1742. In 1865 the Greiffenberg station opened on the Silesian Mountain Railway line from Görlitz to Reibnitz (Rybnica).
From 1871 to 1945 the town was part of the German Empire. After Germany's defeat in World War II, the town was part of the region that became again part of Poland under the terms of the Potsdam Agreement.
The town was flooded during the 2024 Central European floods.

## Sights

# John Andree (surgeon)

John Andree, junior (fl. 1790), was an English surgeon.

## Life

Andree was born about 1740, the son of Dr. John Andree, senior, to whom one of his books is dedicated. He was apprenticed to Mr. Grindall, senior surgeon to the London Hospital, and in 1766 he appears as a lecturer on anatomy in London, and surgeon to the Magdalen Hospital, and practising in Carey Street, Chancery Lane. In 1780 he was a candidate for the surgeoncy to the London Hospital, but was defeated by William Blizard. In 1781 he became surgeon to the Finsbury Dispensary, and in 1784 to St. Clement Danes workhouse. About the year 1798 he took the degree of M.D., though it does not appear in what university, and afterwards practised for some years in Hertford, but afterwards returned to London. He died some time after 1819.

## Surgical innovator

Andree published several books, chiefly on surgical subjects. Through not being connected with a large hospital, he never took a leading position as a surgeon in London, but he performed one operation of historical importance. This was a successful operation of tracheotomy for the relief of croup of the larynx in February 1782, which, if not the first on record, since priority is claimed for an operation by Martin in 1730, was the first to attract attention. The patient was a five-year-old boy, who completely recovered. The case is described by Andree himself in a letter to Sir Astley Cooper, published in the appendix to a paper on ‘Cynanche Laryngea’ by Dr. John Richard Farre (Med.-Chir. Transactions, 1812, iii. 335), but had been previously related in 1786 in an inaugural dissertation by Dr. T. White, published at Leyden in that year. The same operation was done in 1812 by Sir Astley Cooper himself, and afterwards became celebrated in the hands of Bretonneau and Trousseau. In Andree's operation the annular cartilages were not divided, but only two punctures made in the membrane between them. No tube was introduced.
