Zmievskaya Balka (Russian: Змиёвская балка, IPA:; "Ravine of the snakes") is a site in Rostov-on-Don, Russia at which 27,000 Jews and Soviet civilians were massacred from 1942 to 1943 by the SS Einsatzgruppe D during the Holocaust in Russia. It is considered to be the largest single mass killing site of Jews in the Russian SFSR during the Second World War.
The Zmievskaya Balka Memorial monument was unveiled at the site on 9 May 1975.

## History

On 21 November 1941, Rostov-on-Don was occupied by the Wehrmacht four months into the German invasion of the Soviet Union, and the city was held for eight days until it was retaken by the Red Army. On 23 July 1942, the Wehrmacht recaptured the city and were accompanied by Einsatzkommando 10a, commanded by Heinrich Seetzen. The Einsatzkommando and Geheime Feldpolizei initially arrested some 700 people on the grounds that they were Soviet "partisans and party functionaries" and executed about 400 by 2 August 1942. Many Jews had fled from Rostov when the city was under the control of the Red Army, though about 2,000 remained and the Einsatzkommando began registering those over the age of 14 and requiring them to wear the yellow star.
On 11 August 1942, Jews in Rostov were ordered to gather at collecting points, under the guise of being resettled due to alledged violence from non-Jews that had occurred over the preceding days. Instead, the men were marched to Zmievskaya Balka, a ravine outside the city, where they were shot by the Einsatzkommando. The women, children and elderly were gassed in trucks, and their bodies buried in the same ravine.
After the initial massacres, the SS continued to bring thousands of Jews to be killed at Zmievskaya Balka until February 1943, by which time at least 15,000 Jews had been murdered in mass shootings.

### Commemoration

On 9 May 1975, the city administration of Rostov-on-Don dedicated the Zmievskaya Balka Memorial at the site, commemorating the mass murders committed by German forces in the ravine. The monument has become the site of annual memorial ceremonies.

# Canale Villoresi

Canale Villoresi is a canal in Italy; it was the brainchild of Lombardy engineer Eugenio Villoresi.
It originates from the River Ticino near the village of Somma Lombardo, and runs eastwards for 86 kilometres (53 mi) to the Adda River.
Construction began in 1877, but Villoresi himself died two years later. The works were completed in 1890 by a consortium.

# My Guide to Becoming a Rock Star

My Guide to Becoming a Rock Star is an American sitcom television series starring Oliver Hudson. The series premiered March 14, 2002 on The WB. It is based on the British series The Young Person's Guide to Becoming a Rock Star.

## Plot

The series focuses on Jace Darnell, the creator and lead singer of his fictional band SlipDog. He, as well as lead guitarist Doc, bassist Joe, keyboardist/DJ Sarah, and drummer Danny–later replaced by drummer Lucas–try to make it in the music business, possibly helped by their reluctant manager Dole.

## Critical reception

USA Today published a negative review which stated, "Unfortunately, like so many shows aimed at young people, Rock Star sadly underestimates the intelligence of its audience. Aside from some mildly amusing moments...the show seldom can be bothered to come up with anything even borderline clever." Steve Johnson of the Chicago Tribune criticized the show for poor acting, excessive narration, and a lack of humor.

# Dovzhansky (border checkpoint)

Dovzhansky (Ukrainian: Довжанський) was a major land border crossing between Ukraine and Russia next to the Ukrainian village of Dovzhanske [uk], Dovzhansk Raion.
The crossing was situated on autoroute E50 ( M 03). On the Russian side an industrial area of Novoshakhtinsk is about 7 km from the crossing.
A few hundred meters to the north of the road checkpoint was also a railway crossing point used by trains travelling between Sverdlovsk and Novoshakhtinsk.
The port of entry was "Dovzhanskiy" and had a customs checkpoint code of 70207 02 00 (11)

## War in Donbas

On May 14, 2014, one day after the unrecognized declaration of independence by the Lugansk People's Republic (LPR), Ukrainian border guards at the Dovzhansky border crossing arrested Valery Bolotov. 150 to 200 armed Russian backed separatists attacked the Dovzhansky checkpoint where he had been held and freed him.

### Closing the crossing

On June 5, 2014, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine closed this border checkpoint and seven others on the Russia–Ukraine border. At that time, separatists in eastern Ukraine had control of the border crossing allowing weapons from Russia to pass without controls. Subsequently, on July 1, 2014, the Ukrainian army regained control of this border point, until 1 August, where daily "Grad" rocket volleys and shelling by pro-Russian forces made the Ukrainian position untenable.

# Shirts versus skins

In sports, shirts vs skins (or shirts and skins) is a common form of denoting team affiliations in a pick-up game or in school; typically, when played by boys on a public court or field, such as in a city park or schoolyard, or during physical education class or intramural sports at school. The practice involves the members of one team wearing shirts while the ones of the other team go shirtless. This is used in the absence of uniforms.

## Use

This simple form of recognition is a regular sight in streetball, street football, ultimate, backyard football (gridiron-style), and other pick-up games. The identification by manner of dress negates the need to remember the division of players among friends, or to learn the faces of strangers in a pick-up game.
The system is most frequently applied to male participants, due to female toplessness taboos. In coed shirts/skins games where these taboos are observed, female players more often align exclusively as "shirts" (for example, 3 females and 9 males, at a pickup basketball court, would team as 6 male "skins" versus 3 male and 3 female "shirts".)

## Alternatives

Alternatively, or at greater female-to-male ratios or when a balance between male and female players is sought, players in pinnies can be recognised by teammates and opponents as "skins", should such pinnies be available. At least one prominent charity football event uses blonde versus brunette hair color as an alternative to shirts and skins, with competitors allowed to dye their hair to match their respective team.
