Fort Cocke was a  stockade, made of wooden palisades up stream from Fort Ashby. It was a square ninety feet on a side and enclosed about 1/5 acre. Blockhouses were built at each of the four corners. A barracks to house fifty men was constructed within the stockade.
It was built by Captain William Cocke's First Company of Rangers under orders of George Washington dated October 26, 1755.  It has been suggested that the fort was probably completed within a month.

It was constructed south of George Parker's land.  This was on Lot 13 of the Lord Fairfax's Patterson Creek Manor. The fort was constructed on the east side of Pattersons Creek, on a flat terrace above a rocky shelf overlooking the creek bottom, about  south of present Headsville, West Virginia.

Being it was small, Fort Cocke was a place of limited refuge for settlers living in the Pattersons Creek Valley. After the capture of Fort Duquesne, troops garrisoning the fort were gradually withdrawn. In a 1770 trip down Pattersons Creek George Washington pointed out the place where the fort had stood indicating it has fallen to nothing within 15 years.

Stormblade is the second novel in the Heroes trilogy of the Dragonlance novels. It was written in 1988 by Nancy Varian Berberick who also wrote many short Dragonlance stories for Dragon magazine.

Synopsis
Stormblade is a novel which tells a part of the history of the Dragonlance world.

Plot summary
Stormblade is a novel which chronicles Stanach the dwarf's quest to retrieve the powerful Stormblade. Stormblade is a kingsword, a blade which is intended to break the deadlock among the council of thanes, and bring a new king to Thorbardin. This blade is stolen, but when it turns up, one dwarf is brave enough to go after it.

Stanach was an orphan. He grew up like any other dwarf, but was lucky enough to be taught the basics of smithing. Without the blade, his teacher becomes depressed, and eventually mad. Stanach sets out to find the blade for his teacher and to restore it.

Firstly, he meets Lavim, a kender. Together they travel, eventually being joined by the human Kelida and the elf ranger Tyorl. After many wrong turns, fights and misfortunes, they eventually make it back to Thorbardin, where the Theiwar thane is attempting to murder Hornfel, the Hylar thane to gain power over the thanes so he can rule.

After a long fight, the Theiwar thane is killed and Stormblade is restored to its rightful place. Tyorl is mortally wounded in the fight, and dies. As a mark of honor, they allow him to be buried in the garden of thanes (a great honor for dwarves, even more for an elf).

X-Treme Sports was a Canadian English language category 2 television channel owned by Canwest Media Inc., a division of Canwest Global Communications. X-Treme Sports aired a variety of programming primarily related to extreme sports.

History
On November 24, 2000 Global Television Network Inc., a subsidiary of Canwest, was granted approval by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to launch a national English-language Category 2 specialty television service called Extreme Sports, described as "featuring the best of "off-beat" sports programming that will give Canadians the opportunity to live vicariously through the ultimate high associated with such extreme pastimes as high altitude sky diving, cliff diving, white water rafting, and mountain climbing."

The channel launched on September 7, 2001, as X-Treme Sports.

Amid the mid-2000s financial crisis and a mounting debt load, Canwest announced in September 2008 that it would be shuttering X-Treme Sports, with an expected closing date of October 9, 2008. Through its official statement, Canwest cited low growth potential as the reason for its closing of the service, noting funds would be better directed to other channels with greater growth potential. The channel later closed on October 9 as expected.

In December 2010, Leonard Asper, the former CEO of Canwest by that point after the assets were sold to Postmedia and Shaw, acquired Fight Network through his Syngus Corp. holding company via its Anthem Media Group marking the return of sports television ownership.

Programming
Programming on X-Treme Sports primarily focused on extreme sports series, including men's and women's competitions, lifestyle, and reality programs. Series primarily focused on the sports within the firm definition of extreme sports, such as motocross, mountain biking, surfing, skateboarding, and snowboarding; however, other forms of extreme, adventure and thrill-seeking sports/activities included MMA, professional wrestling, and slamball.

The following list is a sampling of series aired during its last year of operation:

 360 Surfing
 Crash Bang Wallop
 Crash Stunt Idiots
 Extreme Championship Wrestling
 Fear Factor
 Fusion TV
 IFL Battleground
 IFL Fight Night

Christian Basso (born September 27, 1966), is an Argentine musician, known as both a composer and a multi-instrumentalist.

He has created music pieces for theater, dance, installations, television and films. Among his most recent creations is the music for Korean feature Secret Sunshine by renowned filmmaker Lee Chang-dong, film which was awarded a Best Actress Award in Cannes 2007.

His music combines elements from tango, Italian music, jazz and Argentine folklore with the classical and traditional features of soundtrack composers.

Throughout his over twenty-year career, he became well known in the local scene as bassist and musician of diverse projects next to such artists as Charly Garcia, Gustavo Cerati, Richard Coleman, Andrés Calamaro, Daniel Melingo, Javier Malosetti, Maria Gabriela Epumer, among others; and mainly with La Portuaria, band of which he was mastermind and founding member next to Diego Frenkel. This group became key in the music renewal scene of the 1990s in Argentina for it combined sounds, rhythms and instruments characteristic of the so-called world music with rock. His themes Selva and El Bar de la Calle Rodney remained in the first positions of best-selling charts for weeks.

As soloist he edited Profanía and La Penthalpha, creations which delve deeply into a search for a more personal sound that embraces the spirit and influences of the immigrants’ culture.  Both projects feature soprano Eva Faludi (Coro Polifonico Nacional), American singer Kal Cahoone (Lilium, Tarantella); and music arranger Alejandro Terán (Hypnofon), among others.

¨Basso proposes a music of strong European accent with port, cabaret and vaudeville scents. It echoes melancholic violins, mandolins and accordions, next to spaghetti-western twang guitars. It is a deeply evocative sound which recognizes predecessors like Ennio Morricone, Nino Rota and, more recently, the group Calexico and ´bad seed´ Barry Adamson”.

Kara-Manikpur was a subah (province) in Medieval India. It consisted of two strongholds: Kara and Manikpur, located on opposite sides of the river Ganges, in what is now the state of Uttar Pradesh.

In the eleventh century, the warrior saint of Islam, Ghazi Saiyyad Salar Masud, defeated the princes of Manikpur and Kara, but Muslim rule was not established till the defeat of Jayachandra by Muhammad Ghori. Manikpur and Kara were important seats of government in the early Muslim period. Alauddin Khalji was governor there, before he gained the throne of Delhi by murdering his uncle on the sands of the river between Manikpur and Kara.

In the fifteenth century, the district came under the rule of the Sharqi kings of Jaunpur and, after its restoration to Delhi, the Rajput chiefs and the Muslim governors were frequently in revolt. The Afghans long retained their hold on the district, and early in the reign of Akbar (mid-16th century), the governor of Manikpur rebelled. In 1580, Akbar reorganized his empire into 12 Subahs and combined the provinces of Jaunpur Sultanate, Kara-Manikpur and territory of Bandhogarh into the Subah of Ilahabad. 

It is still called Kara-Manikpur, even though Kara now falls in Kaushambi district, while Manikpur has become a part of Pratapgarh district, Uttar Pradesh.

EC 1.1.1
is a multipurpose dam located in the city of Shūnan, Yamaguchi Prefecture, downstream from the Nishiki River.

It was built in addition to the preexisting Kōdō Dam in order to satisfy an increase in the demand for suitable water transportation channels for industrial use. It was completed in 1965 and assumed a primary role in flood control and irrigation operations.

The whole project accounted for the use of 328 ha of land, the relocation of 163 homes and the submersion of the village of Sugano, from which the dam takes its name.

As of 2008 its role in flood control has been largely replaced by another dam built in Iwakuni and is mostly used for water conservation and irrigation purposes.
