# Seeqnce

Seeqnce is a startup accelerator based in Beirut, Lebanon. The company advises on best practices in building startup ecosystems.

## History

The company was founded in 2010 by Samer Karam, who served as Chairman and General Manager. In July 2011, Seeqnce launched its state-of-the-art space in the heart of Beirut (Hamra). On August 24, 2012, Seeqnce announced its investment in 8 startups.

## Approach

The lack of expertise, the lack of knowledge on startup accelerators as well as the risk-averse culture are among the factors which called for a need for modifications when applying western methods in the region.
One of the adjustments Seeqnce made to meet region's needs is the duration of the program which is 6 months. This is twice the duration of Y Combinator's program.

## Program

The program [SqP] is a year-long web / mobile business creation process that is composed of two phases: Selection and Acceleration.
After operating for year and a half, Wamda elected Seeqnce as one of "the top 10 accelerators" in the MENA region.

## Seeqnce Accelerator Program 2012

Another startup Seeqnce accelerated is Cinemoz described by TechCrunch as "on its way to becoming the Hulu of the Arab world."

Mr. Batson sent Florieda to live with relatives in Alabama and New York, and she attended Rosemary Hall Academy (later Choate Rosemary Hall) in Connecticut. After graduating from Rosemary Hall, Batson enrolled at Smith College.

## Career

At Rosemary Hall, Batson learned hurdling as well as playing field hockey and basketball. She quickly became the leading American short-distance female hurdler; Batson was undefeated between 1919 and 1921 and set U.S. records in the 60-yard high hurdles (9.0 seconds) and the 100-yard low hurdles (14.4 seconds).

The team, mostly consisting of East Coast prep school and college students like Batson, chose her as captain. A diagram of all her physical measurements was published in the Daily News, describing her as having "proportions closely approaching perfection."
At the Paris games, Batson sprained her left ankle when she hit a hurdle during the team's first practice. She won her qualifying heat, but failed to finish the final when her injured ankle caused her to fall.
After the Women's Olympics, Batson returned to New Orleans, where she was hired to edit the sports page of the New Orleans Item.

# Marron Junction railway station

vteCockermouth and Workington Railway :
Legend :
Marron Junction railway station was a later addition to the Cockermouth and Workington Railway. It opened on 2 April 1866 with a single, eastbound, platform when the adjacent Marron Junction opened, two months before the company was absorbed by the London and North Western Railway.
In 1874 an island platform was added to the south of the main east–west line, opposite the single eastbound platform. giving three platform faces.

## History

Marron Junction joined the west-east Workington to Cockermouth (later through to Penrith) line with the then new south–north Whitehaven, Cleator and Egremont Railway line from Rowrah. The junction was in open country. It had a substantial triangular layout with an engine shed inside the south-to-east arm. Both the west-to-east and south-to-west arms bridged the River Marron. Marron Junction station was immediately west of the junction's northwestern apex. The triangular layout warranted three signalboxes, one at each apex.
This isolated rural location was further complicated by a branch to Linefitz Colliery running from the west and bisecting the south-to-east arm of the triangle, similarly to Earlestown.
The station was bounded by the River Derwent to the north and was not near any town or village. It was intended as an exchange station for passengers crossing between the east–west and south–north lines. South-north trains terminated at Marron Junction station, from which passengers could travel west or east. The value of this arrangement hinged on the connections.
The station attracted little custom other than railwaymen whose duties took them to Marron Junction.
The station closed to regular passenger traffic in 1897. From then on the south–north trains from Rowrah continued through to Workington Main, an altogether more satisfactory service for its users. Passengers wishing to travel south to east stayed on to the next stop west of the junction - Camerton - and crossed to the other platform to head east.
Although Marron Junction station closed in 1897 railwaymen continued to use it as an unadvertised halt until after 1923.
The south-to-east curve at Marron junction was closed on 1 October 1902. This rendered the south and east signalboxes redundant. The western 'box was replaced to befit its singular role. Normal passenger traffic ended along the south to west curve on 13 April 1931, with normal goods traffic following in 1954. An enthusiasts' special ran south-to-west on 5 September 1954. After scant occasional use the south-to-west line was abandoned in 1960.

## Afterlife

By 2015 Marron Junction triangle was readily discernible on satellite images online. The station site appeared to be a footpath through ribbons of trees.

# Battle of Merowe Airport

The battle of Merowe Airport happened in April 2023 during the Sudanese civil war. It involved fighting between the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) for control of the city of Merowe and its airport, and began with the RSF taking over 200 Egyptian soldiers as prisoners of war.

## Background

On 11 April 2023, RSF forces deployed near the city of Merowe and in Khartoum. Government forces ordered them to leave, but they refused. This led to clashes when RSF forces took control of the Soba military base south of Khartoum. On 13 April, RSF forces began their mobilization, raising fears of a potential rebellion against the junta. The SAF declared the mobilization illegal.

## Battle

At noon on April 15, RSF forces claimed to have captured Merowe Airport. In their statement, they claimed to have captured several Egyptian soldiers at the airport as well, along with a plane with markings of the Egyptian Air Force. While initially no official explanation was given for the Egyptian soldiers' presence, Egypt later stated around 200 of their soldiers were conducting exercises with the Sudanese military.
The next day, at around 13:30 local time, the SAF announced the rescue of a major general and a brigadier, along with the arrests of multiple officers at Merowe airport. The SAF also claimed the capture of the airport, with videos showing army vehicles storming the base. The army also claimed several RSF leaders had deserted or surrendered to the SAF. Some RSF members that deserted brought the Egyptian prisoners with them.
Fighting broke out the next day west of Merowe Airport, and by 10:00 AM local time, the RSF claimed to have full control over the airport. On April 18, eyewitnesses reported seeing an RSF column heading away from the perimeter of the airport towards al-Multaqa following SAF airstrikes on the airport. By April 19, the SAF had regained full control over the airport, although it had been destroyed. The RSF still claimed to have a presence in other parts of Merowe. The Sudanese Army gained full control over Merowe by April 21.

## Aftermath

The RSF claimed on April 17 to aid in efforts to repatriate the Egyptian prisoners of war. However, the group announced that they had moved the soldiers to Khartoum on April 19 and would hand them over when the "appropriate opportunity" arose. Of the 204 Egyptian troops taken prisoner, 177 were flown back to Egypt that same day. The remaining 27 soldiers sheltered at the Egyptian embassy in Khartoum.
On 29 November 2024, the SAF claimed that the RSF used 16 suicide drones in an attempt to attack the airport. SAF states that all 16 suicide drones have been destroyed.
On 28 February 2025, an RSF drone strike on the Merowe Power Station led to a power outage in the city.
