Competition format
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in some changes from the most recent pre-COVID format involving two stand alone conferences. For this season, each of the conferences will be further split into two divisions, Atlantic and Central in the Eastern Conference and Mountain and Pacific in the Western Conference, creating four geographically based divisions of 8 (or 7) teams. The teams will play a 32-game schedule in a 27-week period starting around May 1. Individual teams can start their seasons between April 24 and May 15, based on crowd restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During the regular season, each team will play its division opponents four times – twice home, twice away, for a total of 28 (or in the Mountain Division, 24) games, making up the bulk of each team's season. The remaining games in each teams schedule will be played against regional or cross-conference opponents.

Böstlingen was a village in the old district (Altkreis) of Fallingbostel, located in the Heidmark in the north German state of Lower Saxony. In 1935/36 it was abandoned because the German Wehrmacht wanted to establish a major military training area, the Truppenübungsplatz Bergen on the heath and forest of the Heidmark. The inhabitants were forcibly resettled.

History 
Böstlingen was first documented in 1378. In the Celle treasury register (Schatzregister) in 1438 there is mention of 3 farms at Böstlingen. For centuries heath farmers earned a living here by keeping moorland sheep, known as Heidschnucken. Not until the 19th century, when they succeeded in breaking up the hardpan and cultivating arable land, did sheep farming decline.

A parish was created, based on the village of Böstlingen, which included the neighbouring villages of Böstlingen, Fahrenholz, Pröbsten and Deil. At the time of the resettlement there were 208 parishioners.

Tradition has it that there were earth cellars (Erdkeller) in Böstlingen.

Barbara Grace de Riemer Sleigh (1906–1982) was an English children's writer and broadcaster. She is remembered most for her Carbonel series about a king of cats.

Family and career
Barbara Sleigh was born on 9 January 1906 in Birmingham, the daughter of an artist, Bernard Sleigh, and his wife Stella, née Phillp, who had married in 1901. Both parents came from a Methodist background, but she was brought up an Anglican. The family moved to Chesham for a time, then back to Birmingham. Their marriage broke up in about 1914. Her older brother, Brocas Linwood Sleigh (1902–1965), would also become a writer.

Having attended art college and teachers' training college, Sleigh taught in various schools before joining the teacher training department at Goldsmiths College in London in 1929. She went to work for the BBC programme Children's Hour in 1932. There, in 1935, she married a colleague, David Davis (1908–1996) at Dunchurch, Warwickshire, but BBC house rules at the time would not allow husbands and wives to work in the same department. She therefore resigned and turned to freelance writing, film criticism and broadcasting. She and Davis had one son and two daughters.

Barbara Sleigh died in 1982.

Writings
Sleigh's best-known novels for children are the three in the Carbonel series (1955–1978), about a king of cats. These Carbonel books are still in print. Also centred on cats, but for a slightly older age group, is her 1962 novel No One Must Know, a realistic story of a group of neighbouring children attempting to evade a landlord's ban on pets. The Snowball (1969) is a fantasy, in which the snowball turns into a snow-child, causing some fun and chaos in the family.

The other writings by Sleigh include novels for older children, notably Jessamy, a realistic 1967 time-slip novel; collections of stories; large amounts of radio adaptation; several picture books for younger children; and some educational readers. Several of her books came out in Puffin, the Penguin imprint; she wrote an article in 1967 for the first number of the house magazine Puffin Post. Sleigh was included in Uncle Mac's Children's Hour Book (Purnell, [c. 1950]), in the 1974 children's anthology of stories and poems Happy Families, edited by Barbara Willard, and in the Puffin Annual (1974), edited by Kaye Webb and others. Her final work was as the editor of an anthology of stories about witches: Broomsticks and Beasticles (1981).

In investing, dual-beta is the idea that the single regular market beta can be usefully replaced with two finer-grained measures, a downside beta and an upside beta.

Dual-beta vs Beta Models of Average Returns
The Capital Asset Pricing Model posits that individual stock returns move with the overall stock market symmetrically, i.e., that their upside and downside betas are identical.  The dual-beta model attempts to differentiate downside risk (risk of loss) from upside risk (gain), both measured in terms of beta with respect to the market and not individual idiosyncratic risk.

Mathematically, neither the two betas nor their average needs to be similar to the overall single beta.  However, under normal circumstances, the two betas often average to the single beta.

In practice, it is difficult to estimate the future downside market-beta.  Indeed, the historical single beta is a better predictor of the future downside beta than the historical downside beta.

Jane Frazier (or Fraser; January 1, 1735 – April 14, 1815) was a woman captured by Native Americans in the 18th century. She lived in a log house built in 1754 just beyond the Cumberland, Province of Maryland city limits. On October 1, 1755, while returning to her home from the Fort Cumberland Trading Post several miles away, Jane was captured by Native Americans and taken to the Miami River in Ohio. She escaped and returned 18 months later to learn that her husband John had remarried because he thought that she was dead. Jane's husband took her back and sent his second wife home to her father.

Ruby Frazier Frey, a descendant, wrote a book called Red Morning telling of Jane's experiences. The Frazier house was destroyed in the 1960s, but a marker designates its location. The former Jane Frazier house was on Route 51, Cumberland, Maryland.

Jane Frazier (formerly Jane Bell and Jane McClain) was born January 1, 1735, in Winchester, Virginia, and died April 14, 1815, in Schellsburg, Bedford County, Pennsylvania. In 1754 she married John Fraser (born in 1721 in the Highlands of Scotland, died April 16, 1773, in Bedford, Pennsylvania) and moved to Tibbitts Creek in Maryland. In 1759, John and Jane Fraser moved near Fort Bedford. They had eight children: Benjamin, Margaret, William, James, Jane, Catherine, Mary, and Amelia. After the death of John Fraser, Jane married Richard DeKapt (which became Dunlap) and had one daughter: Agnes.

The Brotonne Bridge (pont de Brotonne) is a bridge in the region of Normandy in France, situated between the cities of Le Havre and Rouen.  It has crossed the Seine since 1977, to the east of the commune of Caudebec-en-Caux.  Its construction was financed by the General council of Seine-Maritime for the purpose of opening up the Pays de Caux and assuring a connection between the commune of Yvetot and the A13 autoroute by way of the forêt de Brotonne (Brotonne forest), from which the bridge gets its name.  Only two bridges are located further downstream the Seine from the pont de Brotonne: the Pont de Tancarville and the Pont de Normandie.

The bridge is a cable-stayed bridge (specifically of the fan design), whose principal span reaches  and is made of prestressed concrete.  It is considered an engineering feat and was the first bridge of this type in the world.

The bridge was a toll bridge until 2006, at which point crossing it became free.

The bridge is considered to be the inspiration for the much larger Sunshine Skyway Bridge in Florida.
