The Alpirod is a defunct 1000 km sled dog stage race in Southern Europe.  Its name comes from a combination of the Alps, where the race took place, and the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, upon which the race was based.  The competition consisted of a 14-day stage race in 11 cities in four countries: Italy, Germany, Austria and France.  The competition consisted of multiple short races separated by evening breaks, similar to cycling's Tour de France.  At the time, it was the largest sled dog race outside North America.  The race was organized by Armen Khatchikian, an Italian Iditarod competitor who hoped to bring a form of that race to Europe.  It first took place in 1988, and the inaugural race was won by Alaska racer Joe Runyan.  In 1989, the race was won by Kathy Swenson.  She was the first woman to win the race.  In 1990, Alaskan Roxy Wright Champaine won the race, becoming the third American winner.  In 1992, the race was won by Nenana, Alaska musher Jacques Philip, who went on to win the race three times. The Alabama 500 is a Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series stock car race held at Talladega Superspeedway in Lincoln, Alabama.  The race is one of four NASCAR Cup Series races currently run with restrictor plates, the others being the GEICO 500 in May, the Coke Zero 400, and the Daytona 500.  Through 1996, this race was normally held in early August or late July.  In 1997, it was moved to early October due to the uncomfortably hot summer temperatures, and sometimes unpredictable summertime thunderstorms in the Alabama area.  In 2009, the race moved again, this time to November 1 as part of a realignment agreement with Atlanta and Fontana (where Fontana earned a race in the Chase and Atlanta gained the Labor Day weekend race). The minstrel show, or minstrelsy, was an American form of racially charged entertainment developed in the early 19th century.  Each show consisted of comic skits, variety acts, dancing, and music performances that mocked people specifically of African American descent.  The shows were performed by white people in make-up or blackface for the purpose of playing the role of black people.  There were also some African-American performers and all-black minstrel groups that formed and toured under the direction of white people. The Association of Alabama Camps has represented the interests of the children and families who attend camps in Alabama, as well as the camps themselves since 1980.  These camps serve around a quarter million children, parents, young adults and seniors each year.  The Association's initial project was to contact the Alabama Department of Public Health and solicit their cooperation in developing the original camp inspection standards for Alabama.  AAC supports in every way possible other camp organizations such as the American Camp Association and Christian Camp and Conference Association.  AAC recognizes that every camp is different, each with a different purpose and serving different people for different reasons.  The one thing all Alabama camps have in common is that we must operate our camps under the laws and regulations of the State of Alabama – AAC helps insure that camps have a voice in the regulatory and legislative bodies of Alabama. Multiple Jeopardy a term used by scholars such as Deborah K. King and Patricia Hill Collins describes the way in which oppressive barriers that individuals face contribute to the level of oppression faced due to these factors culminating together to cause further and greater oppression. “The modifier ‘multiple’ refers not only to several, simultaneous oppressions but to the multiplicative relationships among them as well.  In other words, the equivalent formulation is racism multiplied by sexism multiplied by classism."  - Deborah K. King Multiple Jeopardy stems off the term double jeopardy, which when used from a sociological perspective, refers to the additional obstacles individuals face when exposed to multiple disadvantages due to their unique being.  When considering double jeopardy, often times there is an emphasis on just two aspects such as race and gender.  An example of this would be the rights observed by black women.  Not only are these individuals oppressed because they are female, but also because they are black.  These women are a part of a dual oppressive system and are not only hindered by one trait, but by two.  “Not only are colored women . . . handicapped on account of their sex, but they are almost everywhere baffled and mocked because of their race.  Not only because they are women, but because they are colored women."  – Mary Church Terrell“As blacks they suffer all the burdens of prejudice and mistreatment that fall on anyone with dark skin.  As women they bear the additional burden of having to cope with white and black men."  -Frances M. BealMultiple jeopardy differs from double jeopardy, by the fact that instead of just two factors playing into the disadvantages of individuals, there are multiple.  Three common factors that are often observed are the factors of race, class, and gender.  In Deborah King’s article, "Multiple Jeopardy, Multiple Consciousness: The Context of a Black Feminist Ideology", she recounts the ill treatment of black women during the slavery era.  During the slavery time period in America, all black people were subjected to demanding physical labor and harsh brutal punishments; this was due to their race and their class, or their position in society.  However, what sets black women slaves apart is the fact that they often endured struggles that were only subjected to women, namely rape (King).  As Angela Davis put it in her book "Women, Race, and Class", “If the most violent punishments of men consisted in floggings and mutilations, women were flogged and mutilated, as well as raped."  In this scenario, black women could not identify with black males due to their gender and sexuality, nor could they identify with the sexual oppression of white women due to their race and class. During April 25–28, 2011, the local weather forecast offices of the National Weather Service confirmed 360 tornadoes in the United States, and Environment Canada confirmed another in Ontario.  These tornadoes were part of a major outbreak of tornadoes, the 2011 Super Outbreak, in which 361 tornadoes touched down across 21 states in the Southern, Midwestern, and Northeastern United States and in Ontario, Canada.  As the outbreak developed on April 25, numerous tornadoes touched down across Texas and Arkansas, with an EF3 near Hot Springs Village, Arkansas that caused significant damage and killed one person and a long-track EF2 tornado in the Vilonia, Arkansas area that killed four people and injured 16 others after being on the ground for over one hour.  April 26 saw no deaths and mostly weaker tornadoes, with the notable tornadoes of the day being an EF2 tornado that tracked across parts of Texas and into Louisiana and a brief EF3 that struck Campbell Army Airfield, causing $1 million (2011 USD) in damage.  From the 27th to 28th, a series of devastating, long-tracked, violent tornadoes killed hundreds of people throughout an area extending from Mississippi to Virginia.  This included eleven EF4s and four EF5s.  One particularly devastating and long-lived EF5 wedge tornado tore across northern Alabama and into Tennessee, killing 72 people and devastating several small towns, particularly Hackleburg, Phil Campbell, Tanner, and Harvest.  A large, long-tracked EF4 was broadcast live on multiple TV stations as it caused catastrophic damage in densely populated areas of Tuscaloosa and Birmingham, Alabama, killing 64 people.  Numerous other small towns including Smithville, Mississippi; Cordova, Alabama; Rainsville, Alabama; Ohatchee, Alabama; Cullman, Alabama; Trenton, Georgia; Ringgold, Georgia; Apison, Tennessee; and Glade Spring, Virginia sustained devastating, direct hits from intense tornadoes, with several producing death tolls well into the double digits.  319 additional tornado-related deaths occurred within those two days before the outbreak came to an end, bringing the total death toll to 324. Alabama Joe was a popular minstrel song of the 19th century (US).
