Desembarco del Granma National Park

Desembarco del Granma National Park () is a national park in south-western Cuba, stretching across the Niquero and Pilón municipalities in what is now Granma Province.  The name of the park means "Landing of the Granma" and refers to the yacht in which Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Raúl Castro, and 79 of their supporters sailed from Mexico to Cuba in 1956 and incited the Cuban Revolution. The National park is well known for its karst topography and coastal cliffs.

The national park has a total area of 32,576 ha, of which 26,180 ha are terrestrial and 6,396 ha are marine. In 1999, it was listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site because of its uplifted marine terraces and pristine sea cliffs.

Description
Desembarco del Granma National Park is located on the western end of the Sierra Maestra range, along the tectonically active zone between the North American Plate and Caribbean Plate. It conserves a series of limestone terraces that range from 180 meters below sea level to 360 meters above. These terraces were likely formed due to tectonic uplift and fluctuations in sea level due to past climate change and glaciation events during the Miocene, Pliocene, and Pleistocene. These terraces are among the largest and best preserved in the world. In addition, the park protects many other karst features including waterfalls, cliffs, sinkholes, and caves.

The park is located in a warm, semi-arid climate, receiving between 300 and 1200 mm of rain a year and averaging 26°C. This makes it one of the warmest and driest areas in Cuba.

Biodiversity
The national park contains relatively high biodiversity and endemism. More than 512 plant species have been observed in the park, of which 60% are endemic to Cuba. Twelve of these species have only been found within the park boundaries. It also protects habitat for 6 species of painted snails ('Polymita' spp.), including several distinct evolutionary lineages. Thirteen mammals, 110 birds, 44 reptiles, and 17 amphibians have been observed in the park. Over 90% of the amphibian and reptile species found in the park are endemic to Cuba, including the endangered Cuban night lizard. Resident bird species include the Cuban amazon parrot and blue-headed quail-dove, and mammal species living in the park include the West Indian manatee and the Cuban flower bat, which is adapted to hot caves.

United States Potash Railroad

The United States Potash Railroad was a  narrow gauge railroad built in 1931 to carry potash from the mines to the mill at Loving, New Mexico where the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad had a spur that went out to the refinery to carry out the processed potash. The  railroad was located at Loving, New Mexico, just east of Carlsbad, New Mexico, USA, and Carlsbad Caverns National Park.

History
The railroad was originally built and operated with former Death Valley Railroad equipment, rails and employees. The two 2-8-0 Baldwin locomotives from the Death Valley Railroad, along with another engine of similar design coming from the Morenci & Southern Railroad, pulled the trains until about 1948 when they were replaced by specially-built diesel-electric locomotives from General Electric.

The railroad ceased operation in 1967 when U.S. Potash merged with Pacific Coast Borax Company to become the U.S. Borax & Chemical Corporation. Then they were bought out by Rio Tinto Minerals and moved their mining focus onto the borax at Boron.

Preservation
Whilst the three diesels were scrapped, the three steam engines that worked the line all survived. No. 1 is currently on display near Municipal Beach Park at Carlsbad, New Mexico, No. 2 is on display at the Borax Museum at Furnace Creek in Death Valley, as she was Death Valley Railroad's No. 2 and sports her former railroad's colors. No. 3 is on display at the RailGiants Train Museum at Fairplex, Pomona, California. Death Valley Railroad's No. 5, a Brill railcar was used to transport workmen from Loving to work at the mine and the mill and she is now preserved at the Laws Railroad Museum at Bishop. A few trucks from the old DVRR ore cars and caboose are now at the Laws Railroad Museum. Two tankcar bodies, also ex-Death Valley Railroad, are located near Carlsbad.

Imrama

Imrama is the debut album of the Irish black metal band Primordial. It was originally released in 1995. In 2001, it was re-issued by Hammerheart Records with two bonus tracks. It was reissued again, this time by Metal Blade Records in 2009 as CD/DVD digipack in slipcase. It is a part of collector series of the first 4 albums reissues.

Immrama, meaning 'voyages' or literally 'rowings about' refers to a category of medieval Irish Christian literature in which a protagonist sets about voyaging in penance for sins committed. Medieval catalogues of literature see this genre as contrasting with Eachtra, 'expeditions' or 'adventures' in which the protagonist visits the Otherworld of Irish traditional lore.

In Ireland, an overwhelmingly English speaking country, usage of the Irish language is an outward expression of Irish identity, which is a central theme of Primordial's aesthetic and appeal.

Macau Post Daily

The Macau Post Daily () (sometimes abbreviated to MPD) was launched on August 27, 2004, and is Macau's oldest and highest paid-circulation English-language daily newspaper.

The Macau Post Daily is a compact newspaper, i.e., a broadsheet-quality newspaper printed in a tabloid format.

History
It is owned by Macau Everbright Co. Ltd, a publishing company set up by a group of local journalists, and printed by Welfare Printing Ltd, with offices in a downtown commercial centre on Rua dos Mercadores. The newspaper, whose print edition is published on weekdays, is independent of non-media business interests and emphasizes its "equidistance" towards Macau's six gaming companies.

Content
The paper was launched to provide Macau with an independent English-language daily that caters for all its different communities interested in reading news in the world's "universal language," not just expatriates. About half of the daily's readership are local Chinese, Portuguese and Macanese residents, while the remainder are expatriates and tourists. The newspaper's reporting is focused on highlighting the importance of multicultural tolerance and understanding, as well as Macau's unique tangible and intangible cultural heritage. The newspaper adheres to the "One China" and "One Country, Two Systems" principles.

The newspaper is the world's only English-language newspaper to publish a daily general news page about the Lusophone world. It also publishes a daily news page about the Philippines. Its Page 4 is dedicated to photo-features about Macau's cultural and artistic events. Its local news, features and photos as well as opinion articles are available on its website. All its articles and photos are attributed to their sources. Its local news articles are also released on Facebook (some of them in Chinese) and linked to Twitter and LinkedIn accounts.

Circulation
In its 20th year of publication, The Macau Post Daily has a daily circulation of about 4.500, including around 700 copies distributed in Hong Kong and overseas. Subscriptions account for about 60 percent of the newspaper's circulation. In response to the COVID-19 crisis, which has affected Macau since early 2020, the daily print run has been cut by about 10 pct but its digital readership has more than doubled.

Team
The newspaper, which is headed by veteran Macau correspondent Harald Brüning,routinely offers internships to students from Macau, mainland China, Taiwan and elsewhere. Since its founding in 2004, about 80 interns have worked at the newspaper. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been fewer internships since early 2020 than in previous years.

Borger, Netherlands

Borger () is a village in the Dutch province of Drenthe. It is a part of the municipality of Borger-Odoorn, and lies about 18 km east of Assen.

The hunebed dolmen  is the biggest hunebed of the Netherlands and has its own museum.

History 
The village was first mentioned in 1327 as "Johannes in Borghere". The etymology is unclear. Borger is an esdorp which developed in the Early Middle Ages on the Hondsrug along the road from Groningen to Coevorden. In the early 13th century a daughter church was established from Anloo. Borger became the main settlement, and three satellites were established around the village: Buinen, Drouwen and Westdorp.

The tower of the Dutch Reformed church dates from the 14th century and has been restored in 1840. The medieval church was replaced in 1826. There is an original sheep pen from the 18th century in Borger.

Borger was home to 519 people in 1840. In 1958, the open air theatre opened in Borger and can seat 600 people.

Borger used to be an independent municipality. In 1998, it was merged into Borger-Odoorn.

Dolmen 
The hunebed dolmen  is the biggest hunebed of the Netherlands. It measures  and has 9 capstones, 26 side stones and 2 keystones. The hunebed contains a complete gate. In 1865, amateur excavation was performed by Titia Brongersma who discovered pottery and many bones, however none of the artefacts remain.

In 1984, a local youth found some pottery and bones. The artefacts were analysed and surprisingly dated from the Bronze Age which was much later than expected. There were calls for a scientific investigation of the site, however the archaeologists in charge of the area have blocked an investigation. In 2005, a museum opened near the site. 

There are two more smaller dolmen (D28 and D29) around Borger. Copper objects have been discovered near D28 which are the oldest discoveries of copper in the Netherlands and must have been made in Romania.

Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center

The Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center is an aquatics facility at the University of Texas at Austin in the USA. It is home to the university's swimming and diving teams, a variety of university-offered swimming and scuba-diving classes, as well as Longhorn Aquatics, a youth program. The facility also hosts the annual State high school championships in swimming and diving, run by the University Interscholastic League.

The building is named after UT graduate and longtime benefactor Joe Jamail and his wife Lee. Before the Jamail's name was placed on the facility in the mid-1990s, the building was known simply as the "Texas Swimming Center". The view of the Texas State Capitol from the building's terrace became one of the Capitol View Corridors protected under state and local law from obstruction by tall buildings in 1983.

Amenities
The building houses two separate pools:
The main pool, used for competitive swimming, is 50 meters long by 25 yards wide and is 9 feet deep. Two retractable bulkheads, stored on cranes in recesses in the ceiling of the building, can be lowered and maneuvered, allowing the pool a variety of possible configurations. Some of these include: a long course practice setup, with ten 50m lanes; short course practice, with anywhere from 16 to 22 25-yard lanes; competition long course with eight 50m lanes; competition short course with eight 25 yard/meter competition lanes, and warm up/down lanes; competition short-course with sixteen 25-yard lanes (two courses of 8 lanes each); and competition center course with eight 25-yard lanes centered between several warm up/down lanes on either side.
The diving well is 25 yards long by 25 yards wide. The north end of the well houses 4 separate 1-meter springboards and two 3-meter springboards and is 15 feet deep. The south end of the well houses the platform tower with 1-, 3-, 5-, 7.5-, and 10-meter platforms, as well as four 3-meter springboards; this end is 18 feet deep. Both ends have a bubbler system, which creates bubbles in the water that can lessen the surface tension of the water. The diving well can also be arranged as a lap pool.
