# Lapta (game)

Lapta (Russian: лапта́) is a Russian folk game of the bat-and-ball type, first known to be played in the 14th century.

## History

Lapta is documented as early as the 14th century; mentions of lapta have been found in medieval manuscripts, and balls and bats were found in the 14th-century layers during excavations in Novgorod.
Peter the Great encouraged his elite guard to play lapta for physical training. Russian national values were ascribed to the game in modern times, with writer Aleksandr I. Kuprin having praised the game for qualities such as loyalty, accuracy, speed and strength skills, as well as resourcefulness.
During the Soviet period, the sport, along with other traditional sports such as gorodki, was promoted and attempts were made to develop them into modern sports of a Soviet type. The game's development reached its peak in the 1950s, with thousands of lapta teams registered. Russian championships of lapta were held from 1958, and lapta was entered in the program of the Russian Spartakiads in the following year; however, these attempts at promoting the sport later lost priority. Since 1990, annual championships in Russia have been held and the sport has seen a revival.

## Rules

The game is played outside on a field the size of half a football pitch 20 × 25 sazhens (140 ft × 175 ft, 42.7 m × 53.3 m). There are five people on the field from the defending team, as well as pitcher/server. This pitcher server stands near the batter of the opposing team and hits a ball in the direction of the batter. The team that bats contains six people. Each hitter gets two chances to hit the ball over a 10m line. If they succeed at that, the runners can go to an endline at the other end of the pitch. If a player manages to run between the two endpoints, they get 2 points. A game lasts an hour, split into two equal halves.
The edges of the field are marked with parallel lines, called salo (сало).
The goal of the game is to hit the ball, served by a player of the opposite team, with the bat and send the ball as far as possible, then run across the field to the kon (кон) line, and if possible to run back to the gorod (город) line.
The running player tries to avoid being hit with the ball, which is thrown by the opposing team members. For successful runs, the team earns points. A team wins by either getting more points during the scheduled time or by having all its players complete runs.
A description of lapta is given by Aleksandr I. Kuprin:
   This folk game is one of the most interesting and useful games. Lapta requires resourcefulness, deep breathing, faithfulness to your group, attention, dexterity, fast running, good aiming and marksmanship, strong striking hands, and firm eternal confidence that you cannot be defeated. The lazy and cowardly have no place in this game.

# Champagne Problems (Nick Jonas song)

"Champagne Problems" is a song recorded by American singer Nick Jonas from his third studio album, Last Year Was Complicated. It was released on April 8, 2016, by Island, Safehouse and Republic Records as the album's first promotional single. The song was written by Nick Jonas, Jason Evigan, Sean Douglas, Jonathan Tucker, and PJ Bianco.

## Background

On March 24, 2016, Jonas announced the song as part of the track list of his new album. On April 8, 2016, Nick Jonas released "Champagne Problems" as the first promotional single of the record. A short teaser was released by him online on April 7. In an interview he said that the song "is about sharing a bottle of champagne with my now ex as we were breaking up to kind of close that chapter. It was sad and slightly sweet at the same time. It was a range of emotions and feelings and I think this song, although it sounds like a party song, actually has some of the deepest lyrics on the record".

## Critical reception

Caroline Menyes of Music Times said that the song was a little bit more of a dance-friendly track. Featuring Jonas' signature smooth falsetto and club-friendly beats, this song is begging to be played on Friday nights. Idolator's Carl Williott said that with its electro-disco-funk breakdown at the chorus and a surprising trap&B bridge, there are a lot of moving parts but they all work in service of a breathless party hook.

## Music video

The music video, directed by Colin Tilley was released on November 7, 2016. The video shows Jonas being surrounded by many women in a night club before he parts ways with his girlfriend.

## Live performance

Jonas performed the song live on Saturday Night Live on April 16, 2016. On June 10 he performed the song live on Today. The song is part of the setlist of the Future Now Tour.

# Nebergall "Knoll Crest" Round Barn

The Nebergall "Knoll Crest" Round Barn is located between Davenport and Blue Grass in rural Scott County, Iowa, United States. It was built in 1914, and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1986.

## Architecture

Charles W. Nebergall owned Knoll Crest Farm when they contracted with Benton Steele to design and construct a round barn in 1914. The building is a true round barn that measures 56 feet (17 m) around. The bottom half of the barn is constructed of clay tile and features square windows. Red vertical board-and-batten siding covers the upper half of the barn that features rectangular windows. A driveway divides the interior circular arrangement between the horse stalls and the cattle stanchions, which ringed the outer perimeter of the main level. Grain bins and feedways are located between the animals and the center drive. Separate hay chutes serviced the horse and cattle sides of the barn. In that way, the horse hay and the cattle hay could be efficiently stored and the animals fed. There is no silo built into this barn. A cupola rests on top of a 2-pitch conical roof. The Nebergall family sold the farm in 1992 to John Penne. He re-roofed the barn in 1998 with wood shingles. The hayforks and manure track system remain in working condition.

## Benton Steele

The barn was built by Benton Steele, who was a specialized builder/architect. He built his first barns in the dairy districts of Indiana and Wisconsin before moving to Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas. He wrote articles in publications such as the Kimball's Dairy Farmer of Waterloo, the Breeder's Gazette of Chicago, and the Hoard's Dairyman of Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin as a way to advertise his work. The Nebergall Round Barn is the only known example of a round barn from his work left in Iowa.
# Sara Aldrete

Sara María Aldrete Villareal (born September 6, 1964) is a Mexican serial killer who was convicted of murder while heading a drug-smuggling and human sacrifice cult with Adolfo Constanzo. The members of the cult, dubbed by the media as The Narcosatanists (Spanish: "Los Narcosatánicos"), called her The Godmother ("La Madrina"), with Constanzo as "The Godfather" ("El Padrino"). The cult was involved in multiple ritualistic killings in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, including the murder of Mark Kilroy, an American student killed in Matamoros in 1989. She received a sentence of 62 years.

## Early life and education

Born in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, she attended high school in Brownsville, Texas, while still living south of the border, and gained resident alien status so she could attend Texas Southmost College. She was known among her peers as a good student. She is 6 ft 1 in (1.85 m) tall and studied physical education, preparing to transfer to a university to earn a teaching certification in physical education.

## Background

Adolfo Constanzo, a Cuban American serial killer and religious cult leader, introduced her to witchcraft and dark magic. He gave her the nickname "La Madrina", Spanish for "godmother", and initiated her into his cult, which was a conglomeration of Santería, Aztec warrior ritual, and Palo Mayombe, complete with blood sacrifices. Constanzo sexually assaulted and killed drug dealers and used their body parts for religious sacrifice ceremonies in an old warehouse near Matamoros. Many of his victims' body parts were cooked in a large pot called a nganga. Constanzo made Sara Aldrete second-in-command of his cult, and directed her to supervise his followers while he was shipping marijuana over the border into the U.S.

### Killings

In 1989, the killings grew more frequent and gained attention when American tourist Mark J. Kilroy, a University of Texas student on Spring Break, was abducted. Constanzo, Aldrete and the rest of the cult went on the run when detectives discovered their 'shrine'. They found human hair, brains, teeth, and skulls at the site of the murders. Eventually, the police found their hideout in Mexico City on May 6, 1989. After a shootout, Constanzo and one of his accomplices were shot and killed by another member of the cult, apparently at Constanzo's behest. Aldrete was convicted of criminal association in 1990 and jailed for six years. In a second trial, she was convicted of several of the killings at the cult's headquarters, and sentenced to 30 years in prison. If Aldrete is ever released from prison, American authorities plan to prosecute her for the murder of Mark Kilroy.
