# USS Vengeance (1805)

The second USS Vengeance was a brig in the United States Navy during the First Barbary War.
Vengeance was purchased by the United States Navy at Boston, Massachusetts, in 1805 for use as a bomb ketch against the Barbary pirates.
Commanded by Lieutenant William Lewis, she left Boston for the Mediterranean on 19 June and was with Capt. John Rodgers' squadron of 13 warships when it appeared off Tunis on 1 August. Impressed by the American show of force, the Bey of Tunis elected to accept American peace terms, and Vengeance did not see action. Her subsequent movements are unknown, but she was broken up at New York City in 1818.
# Sideways bike

The sideways bike is an invention, patented in 2005, by Michael Killian, a software engineer from Dublin. He was inspired by his view that snowboarding offered greater artistic potential to skiing, and decided to design a snowboard equivalent based on the conventional bicycle. The result: a bike ridden sideways with the rider operating both wheels. The bike, unlike a conventional bike, uses front-to-back balance like a snowboard. Conventional bikes use left-to-right balance, like skis. The bike is aimed at the youth market and has won a number of invention awards.

## Bicycle design

The sideways bike is different in many ways from a conventional diamond-framed bicycle. The rider controls direction by steering with both front and back handlebars. This means that the bicycle can maneuver effectively in congested conditions, weaving in and out of cars and performing tight turns. It also means that the rider can move the bike sideways, as the name suggests, such that the movement is perpendicular to the direction in which the frame points. Although this is possible, it is very difficult, as it is necessary for the rider to have extremely good balance and coordination.
The position of the pedals and cranks varies from bike to bike. Some sideways bicycles have them positioned in the same way that a normal bike does; however, there are some that are placed such that the rider must sit not facing in the direction of movement but perpendicular to it. This means that turning is easier and more elegant; however, visibility is impaired as the rider must turn his or her neck all the time.
Sideways bikes are single speed, which means that gears have not yet been worked into the complex design of transmission of power from the cranks to the back wheel. Since it pivots, a normal chain system cannot function, but Killian created a part that allows the rear cassette to cause the wheel to rotate even when turning, by having an intermediate piece that can transmit the power.
Rather than using a normal saddle for a bike, the sideways bike uses a unicycle saddle to aid balance.
The sizes of the wheels vary considerably between different sideways bikes in order for each bike to be adapted to its purposes correctly.

## Advantages and disadvantages versus conventional bikes
### Advantages

* Due to the nature of its steering mechanism, the sideways bike has the potential for making turns with smaller radii than those of conventional front-wheel-steered bikes of the same wheelbase.

### Disadvantages

* Overlean is a common error that new riders make, caused by leaning too far over when cornering.
* Parts are highly specialized because of the low volume of such bikes produced.
* Neck aches are a common complaint since riders must keep their heads turned in order to see the road ahead, and, because of the need to keep the legs aligned approximately with the cranks, cannot spread this rotation throughout their body as skateboarders and snowboarders can.

It is called zong zi que bai in Chinese and herbe à cheval in French. In South America its names include camalote, gamelotillo, and hierba de cepa. It is native to the Americas, where it occurs in the southeastern United States, Mexico, the Caribbean, and parts of South America.
This rhizomatous perennial grass has thick stems which can exceed 1 metre (3 ft) in height. The leaf blades are up to 35 centimetres (14 in) long. The inflorescence is a panicle with up to 7 branches. The paired spikelets are generally oval in shape and are brown in color.
In its native range this grass grows in disturbed areas as well as prairies and forests. It is planted in many areas of the world to feed livestock.
The seeds provide food for birds. It is used as a pasture grass and it can be made into hay. It can be grown on low-fertility soils. Cultivars include 'Bryan', 'Hartley', and 'Rodd's Bay'.

# 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup seeding

The draw for the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup took place on 3 February 2014 at 19:00 CET at the Palau de la Música Catalana, Barcelona. The draw ceremony determined the groups in which the 32 participating teams would begin the final tournament. Teams were divided into six pots of four teams, with each team being selected from each pot to assigned groups.
The three best-qualified teams as per the latest FIBA World Rankings at the time were placed in Pot 1. The 20 other teams were placed in Pots 2 to 6, also according to ranking, geographical principles, and sporting criteria. The draw sequence began with Pot 1 and ended with Pot 6, and a competition number was drawn for each team, which determined its position in the group and the order of games in each group, such as "A1" to "A6", for Group A teams.

## Personnel involved

Former Spanish national team member Juan Antonio San Epifanio, Croatia's Dino Rađa, José Ortiz of Puerto Rico and Angolan Jean-Jacques Conceição assisted in the draw.

## Seeding

Teams were seeded using the latest FIBA World Rankings and geographical principles at the time of the draw, with some pots containing teams from the same continent. The highest-ranked team not to qualify for the World Cup was sixth-ranked Russia.
| Pot 1 | Pot 2 | Pot 3 | Pot 4 | Pot 5 | Pot 6 |
| United States (1)  Spain (2) (H)  Argentina (3)  Lithuania (4) | Angola (15)  Finland (39)  Senegal (41)  Egypt (46) | New Zealand (19)  Iran (20)  South Korea (31)  Philippines (34) | Serbia (11)  Slovenia (13)  Croatia (16)  Ukraine (45) | Brazil (10)  Puerto Rico (17)  Mexico (24)  Dominican Republic (26) | Greece (5)  Turkey (7)  France (8)  Australia (9) |

### Notes

* H : Hosts

## Final Draw

The four groups were formed randomly, selecting one team from each of the six pots. There were no restrictions in drawing teams from pots except for the following:
* Spain and the United States, as the top 2 teams, were to be placed on opposite sides of the bracket for knockout play. As a result, Spain went to Group A and the US to Group C. The other teams in the pot would thus be drawn to either Group B or D.
* Finland could not be placed in a group that already had a European team; therefore they could only be placed in the group containing the USA or Argentina.
* Australia could not be placed in a group that already contained New Zealand. They were also required to be put into a group that already had two European teams.
After each team was drawn, FIBA assigned a host city to each group, except for final phase host cities Madrid and Barcelona.
| Group A (Granada) | Group B (Seville) | Group C (Bilbao) | Group D (Las Palmas) |
| Spain | Philippines | Dominican Republic | Slovenia |
| Serbia | Senegal | Turkey | Lithuania |
| France | Puerto Rico | United States | Angola |
