The Settlers of Catan, sometimes called Catan or Settlers for short, is a board game. More than one person plays Catan at a time. The Settlers of Catan was designed by Klaus Teuber and first published in 1995 in Germany by Franckh-Kosmos Verlag (Kosmos) as Die Siedler von Catan.  People play as settlers, each try to build holdings while trading and getting resources.  Players get points as their settlements grow. The first player to reach a set number of points, usually 10, wins. The game and its many expansions are also published by Mayfair Games, Filosofia, Capcom, 999 Games, Κάισσα, and Devir.

The Settlers of Catan became one of the first German-style board games to become popular outside Europe. , more than 22 million copies in 30 languages had been sold.
The game involves a lot of strategy, while still being fairly easy to learn.

Gameplay

The players in the game represent settlers creating colonies on the island of Catan. Players build settlements, cities, and roads to connect them as they settle the island. The game board, which represents the island, is made out of tiles with six sides. (hexes) of different land types, which are laid out randomly at the beginning of each game. Newer editions of the game began to have a fixed layout in their manual, which has been proven by computer simulations to be fair. They recommend this to be used by beginners. In 2016, editions of the game were released with a conventional fixed layout board in this configuration. The hexes of these editions cannot be rearranged.

Teuber's original design was for a large game of exploration and development in a new land. Between 1993 and 1995 Teuber and Kosmos refined and simplified the game into its current form.  Unused mechanics from that design went on to be used in Teuber's following games, Entdecker and Löwenherz.  The game's first expansion, Catan: Seafarers, adds the concept of exploration, and the combined game (sometimes known as "New Shores") is probably the closest game to Teuber's original intentions.

is a Japanese contemporary artist and writer. She is well known for her repeating dot patterns, her art uses a variety of media, including painting, drawing, sculpture, film, performance and immersive installation. It ranges from works on paper featuring intense semi-abstract imagery, to soft sculpture known as ‘Accumulations’, to her ‘Infinity Net’ paintings, made up of carefully repeated arcs of paint built up into large patterns.
Since 1977 Kusama has lived voluntarily in a psychiatric institution, and much of her work has been marked with obsessiveness and a desire to escape from psychological trauma. In an attempt to share her experiences, she creates installations that immerse the viewer in her obsessive vision of endless dots and nets or infinitely mirrored space.

Biography

Yayoi Kusama was born in 1929 in Matsumoto city in Nagano. She started drawing pictures with a motif of polka dots with water colorat, pastel and oil at 10 years old. She entered art university in Kyoto afterwards went to the United States of America to study art even though her parents didn't agree with her. She did intense performances whose name were “happening” there to protest wars and her name was known from top to bottom in the US as a great performer. In 1968 her own movie won the prize of The 4th Belgian International Short Film Festival. Moreover, her exhibitions were held around the world. In 2009, she was selected as a person of culture merits which give people who are active in terms of culture. Finally The documentary movie on her was released in 2019. It received high evaluations.

Sickness

She actually has suffered from Hallucination; her field of vision is covered with polka dots and flowers speak to her, since an early age. She has got schizophrenia, nerve sick, from childhood to now. Therefore, she decided to paint to run away from the hallucination and fearness of death. Her works reflect what she really sees through her eyes.

Art works

Her every works are expensive. The highest one is no less than 63 million. One reason, of course, is popularity and originality. Furthermore, another reason is her attitude to works. She only releases her works into auctions when she has trouble with money. She also said, “I don’t create my works just because they can make a lot of money.” That's why her works are really expensive.

Looking at the features of her works, many polka dots are seen in her works. Identical pattern cover on painting and sculpture is her own way. We can say polka dots are her trademark. Her works don't stop on campus. She also uses mirrors in her works to make objects seen as though they were infinity.

—Belief

Throughout her entire life, her belief is “I’m fighting for the production of arts.” Her works has been put into her heart and soul. She also said “There are many people who are suffering from war, poverty and loneliness. I couldn’t be happier that my passion tells them through my works after I pass away.”

Marie Avgeropoulos (; born 17 June 1986) is a Canadian actress and model. She is best known for her role as Octavia Blake on The CW’s post-apocalyptic science fiction television series The 100 (2014–present).

Early life
Avgeropoulos was born on 17 June 1986 in Thunder Bay, Ontario. She grew up fishing, hunting and camping, spending most of her free time outdoors. Avgeropoulos started playing drums when she was 16. After studying broadcast journalism for two years in her hometown, Avgeropoulos moved to Europe. Several months later, she came back to Canada and settled in Vancouver.

Career
One of her friends invited her for a casting call in Vancouver, which happened to be looking for drummers. A talent agent recognized her talent and invited her to appear in various national commercials. She caught the attention of director Chris Columbus. He hired Avgeropoulos for I Love You, Beth Cooper, which became her first feature film role. Her appearance in the film gave her the opportunities to star in more films and television shows.

In 2010, Avgeropoulos was cast as Kim Rhodes in the film Hunt to Kill, which became her break-out role.

Early in 2013, Avgeropoulos made her break-out in television after being cast for a recurring role in The CW's Cult. However, the series failed to attract viewers and after episode 7, the show was cancelled. The remaining six episodes of the show were broadcast later in the summer.

Not long after the show ended, The CW cast her as one of the main characters in their new sci-fi, The 100, to portray the character Octavia Blake.

Personal life
The 32-year-old actress and her 41-year-old boyfriend allegedly began arguing in a car on the Ventura (134) Freeway shortly after midnight 5 August 2018. Avgeropoulos was accused of striking him multiple times in the head, neck and arm, resulting in minor injuries, according to the District Attorney’s Office. She was then charged with domestic violence. Avgeropoulos's boyfriend wants the charges against the actress dropped as he said she doesn't pose a threat.

On November 30, 2018, George H. W. Bush died at his home in Houston, Texas of natural causes. Bush was the 41st President of the United States, the 43rd Vice President of the United States, the former Director of Central Intelligence, and a former member of the United States House of Representatives. This happened nearly 8 months after the death of his wife Barbara Bush in April.

Bush was the first president to die since Gerald Ford in 2006, and, at the age of 94 years and 171 days, he surpassed Ford for the title of longest-lived U.S. president in history.

Shortly after news broke of Bush's death, on December 5, 2018, Donald Trump declared a National Day of Mourning and ordered all flags "throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions" lowered to half staff for the remainder of the year.

The state funeral of Bush is the official funerary rites conducted by the Government of the United States. He was interred at the George Bush Presidential Library. The state funeral and respective activities occurred over a period of four days from December 3 to December 6, 2018.

Events

The corps of cadets of the United States Military Academy, United States Air Force Academy, and United States Coast Guard Academy, and the corps of midshipmen of the United States Naval Academy are to be immediately assembled to be officially informed of the death by the superintendents of their respective institutions.

Very early on the morning of December 1, 2018, the flags at the White House were lowered to half staff.

State funeral

Before his death, Bush filed a 211-page document with the Military District of Washington, which had a request for an aerial flyover of fighter jets in missing man formation by the United States Air Force during his state funeral, as well as final interment and burial to occur at the George Bush Presidential Library in College Station, Texas.

Bush made plans for a national funeral service to be held at Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C.

Bush lay in state in the United States Capitol rotunda from the evening of December 3 through the morning of December 5.

Tributes were made by Jon Meacham, Brian Mulroney, Alan K. Simpson, and George W. Bush at the Washington National Cathedral. President Donald Trump and former Presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Bush and Jimmy Carter attended the funeral.

International leaders attending these services include: Britain's Prince Charles and former Prime Minister John Major, former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, Polish President Andrzej Duda and former President Lech Wałęsa, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, former Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Gortari Abdullah II of Jordan and Speaker of Taiwan's Congress Su Jia-chyuan.

Shortly after the Washington service, Bush's body was taken back to Houston by a custom-made train where a service was held. On December 6, 2018, his body was buried at the George Bush Presidential Library next to his wife Barbara Bush.
