# American Tag-Team Wrestling

American Tag-Team Wrestling is a 1992 professional wrestling video game that was released for multiple platforms. The storyline surrounds a tag team tournament. Each tag team is trying to win the tag team championship belt by taking down all possible opponents.

## Gameplay

The style of wrestling used in the game is the tag team wrestling practiced during the 1980s professional wrestling boom. Players can tag in their partner if they are weakened; wrestlers slowly recover outside of the ring for future play. Single matches and King of the Ring-style tournaments can be played. Some of the wrestlers are based on real World Wrestling Federation (WWF) wrestlers such as Macho Man Randy Savage, Hulk Hogan and The Missing Link. Each tag team consists of two team members who contradict each other; forcing players to analyze each other's strengths and weaknesses. While they look different on the character select screen, both tag team partners have an identical appearance on the ZX Spectrum version of the game.
A vast selection of kicks, punches and grapples can be used in order to outwit the competition. However, only seven are officially indicated in the ZX Spectrum manual. Each round is timed, similar to boxing and unlike the actual WWF matches of that era. There are also grudge matches that randomly appear after every tournament bout in addition to referee decisions that can go either way.
Both players share the same screen while playing the game; allow both players to see each other without any distractions from a split screen. While the game was released two years after WrestleMania VI which ended the 1980s wrestling boom; it is acknowledged that a lot of the characteristics are based on the family-friendly style of wrestling performed during the 1980s.

# Hampton String Quartet

The Hampton String Quartet or the Hampton Rock String Quartet is a string quartet specializing in rock music and other popular styles using two violins, a viola and a cello. In 1998 they were nominated for a Grammy Award, and as of 2012 they were the best selling string quartet with over 1 million CDs sold in the US alone.
According to the liner notes of their 1986 debut album, What if Mozart wrote "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas", the quartet was formed specifically for that album in response to RCA's desire to record string quartet arrangements of mostly-secular Christmas music in a classical (Mozart) style. That album went on to sell close to a million copies and together with their following albums and CDs have made HSQ one of the largest selling string quartets in history.
Their debut album was followed in 1988 by What if Mozart Wrote "Roll Over Beethoven" and What if Mozart Wrote "Born to Be Wild" in 1989 and then What if Mozart Wrote "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus".
Following the What if Mozart... series, little was heard from the quartet until 1993, when they released an album featuring the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil" as its title track, which subsequently was part of the debut album on the label of the cellist's music publishing company, Mona Lisa Sound. Since then, the quartet has released three additional albums through Mona Lisa Sound, HSQ Rides Again (2004), HSQ Does Christmas (Again) (2004) and Take No Prisoners (2005). Their most recent releases include an all-Beatles CD, The Off-White Album, as well as All Zeppelin.
As of 2018, their current roster consisted of Regis Iandiorio, first violin, Abe Appleman, second violin, Richard Maximoff, viola and John Reed, cello, all of whom except Appleman are original members.

# Gas Interconnector Greece–Bulgaria

Gas Interconnector Greece–Bulgaria is a natural gas pipeline from the Greek to the Bulgarian natural gas pipeline network. It became operational on 1 October 2022.

## Route

On 14 July 2009, Bulgarian Energy Holding signed an agreement with DEPA and Edison S.p.A. on setting up a company to construct and operate the branch pipeline Interconnector Greece-Bulgaria with a capacity of one billion cubic meters of gas per year. The pipeline will be 160 kilometres (99 mi) between Komotini and Stara Zagora in Bulgaria.
The capacity of the pipeline is to be 3 to 5 billion cubic metres per annum (110 to 180 billion cubic feet per annum) with reverse flow capability. The connecting points are to be Komotini, Greece and Stara Zagora, Bulgaria. The length of the pipeline is about 150 kilometres (93 mi) in Bulgaria and 30 kilometres (19 mi) in Greece. The pipe diameter is 813 millimetres (32.0 in), with an estimated cost between 200 and 250 million Euro to construct.

## Purpose

The project is in line with the joint EU strategy for market-based security of supply, which calls for bidirectional interconnection of national grids and specifically for the creation of a Southern Gas Corridor. Whereas the capacity of the gas interconnector project does not fully satisfy the capacity expected in the Southern Gas Corridor, it achieves diversification of sources of supply of natural gas to Bulgaria and helps the countries in the region get greater access to the global natural gas market; Azerbaijani natural gas has started to pass through the interconnector.

## Project development

On 14 July 2009, a Memorandum of understanding was signed between Bulgarian Energy Holding EAD, Edison (Italy) and DEPA, which defines the principles for the development and realization of the project. In January 2011, a joint company "ICGB" AD was registered by the same partners that will construct, own and operate the pipeline. The project took off in 2017. Construction works commenced in early 2020 and were completed in the third quarter of 2022. The interconnector is fully operational since October 1.

## Usage

In 2023 ICGB held the first annual auction for the interconnector capacity, with 80% of the current 3bcm capacity reserved for the 2024 year.
The ICGB pipe line is connected to the Alexandroupolis INGS which will become operational in March 2024.
In January 2024 Slovakia, Moldova and Ukraine have joined Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia and Hungary as customers of gas shipped through the ICGB pipeline giving emphasis to the need for expansion of the pipeline from 3 to 5 billion cubic meters of gas.
