Phantasy Star Generation: 1

Sega Ages 2500 Series Vol. 01: Phantasy Star: Generation:1 (ファンタシースターgeneration：１, Fantashī Sutā) Is a role-playing game published by Sega and developed by 3D Ages. This is a remake of the first title in the Phantasy Star series and happens to be the first title in the Sega Ages 2500 series.

Gameplay 
The game takes the basics and the gameplay of Phantasy Star while bringing a lot of novelty. First of all, the graphics have been improved and the music reworked. Then, the developers also took advantage of the DVD support to enrich the scenario by adding many dialogue scenes. The cutscenes are represented by fixed and refined illustrations.

Initially, a European and American release had been planned, accompanied by the remakes of Phantasy Star II and IV in a single compilation. However 3D Ages has ceased game development for the Sega Ages 2500 series and no Phantasy Star IV remakes are planned. Sega then focused on compilations of this saga. It seems that this title will remain a Japanese exclusive. As Phantasy Star Generation: 1 is the first volume of the Sega Ages 2500 series, it is part of a somewhat special packaging. The game is accompanied by a binder where collectors can store SEGA Ages 2500 game files. Indeed, the first 20 volumes of this series are accompanied by a small file where the origin of the titles is explained in detail. and also contains an interview with the developers.

Description 
Phantasy Star is set in Algol, a solar system consisting of three planets. There is the lush and green Palma, the arid and barren Motavia, and finally, the icy and desolate Dezoris. As the story begins, Algol is ruled by King Lassic, who while originally benevolent, becomes a cruel dictator after converting to a new religion. After a string of harsh political changes, small pockets of rebellion emerge, but are mostly ineffective against Lassic's iron rule. When Nero, the leader of one such rebellion, is killed by Lassic's robot-cops, his sister Alis swears revenge.

Sega Ages 2500 Series Vol. 01: Phantasy Star: Generation 1 is the first in the Sega Ages 2500 Series and is a complete remake of the original Phantasy Star that includes new graphics, sounds, and gameplay.

SN 1006

SN 1006 was a supernova that was probably the brightest stellar event in recorded history. 

It got to about −7.5 visual magnitude, more than sixteen times the brightness of Venus. This "guest star" was described by observers across  China, Japan, Iraq, Egypt, and the continent of Europe. Modern astronomers now think its distance from Earth was about 7,200 light-years.

It was likely a white dwarf star that had been pulling matter off an orbiting companion star. When the white dwarf mass exceeded the stability limit (known as the Chandrasekhar limit), it exploded.

2020–22 North American drought

Drought developed in the Midwestern, Western and Northeastern United States during summer 2020. States especially hard hit by drought were Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, Wyoming, New Mexico and Nevada.

In 2021, drought conditions improved in the Northeast. However, they got worse in the Western United States. As of June 2021, "nearly the entire region (97 percent) was facing abnormally dry conditions." Drought conditions also affected large areas of Mexico and Canada.

The drought conditions of 2020 were associated with a very strong La Niña pattern that had developed in the Pacific Ocean. Across several sections of North America, the dry problems extended to 2022.

United States

West
By Fall 2020, drought in the Western U.S. was the worst since a similar drought seven years earlier.

The 2020–21 drought was described by some as the worst drought in modern history in the Western U.S.

By late spring 2021, dry conditions had expanded to almost the entire state of California and to nearby Nevada.

Midwest
Iowa got widespread rain during September 2020. It improved the dry conditions in the eastern part of the state. However, the western part of the state had severe-to-extreme drought. The conditions lasted past 2020 and well into 2021. By late spring 2021, northeastern, northern and central Iowa were back under dry conditions.

The 2020–21 drought also affected Michigan, south-central Wisconsin, most of North Dakota and South Dakota.

In northeastern Illinois near the Chicago metropolitan area, May 2021 was the driest since 2012. As of June 1, 2021, Chicago had only gotten barely half an inch of rain due to dry conditions in the area.

Northeast
By late August/early September 2020, dry conditions across several parts of the United States had worsened. The New England states and New York were under severe or extreme drought.

The Northeastern United States were out of drought conditions by June 2021.

Southeast
By June 2021, moderate drought conditions had developed in Virginia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Florida.

Mexico
As of April 2021, Mexico was under one of the most widespread droughts in its history. Almost 85% of the country had drought conditions.

Canada
As of spring 2021, extreme drought threatened the Canadian Prairies in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. These areas had gone through an abnormally dry fall and spring.

Derailment

Derailment takes place when a rail vehicle such as a train comes off its rails. Although most derailments are minor, all result in temporary damage of the proper operation of the railway system and they are a potentially serious danger.

A derailment of a train can be caused by a crash with another object, an operational error, the mechanical failure of tracks, such as broken rails, or the mechanical failure of the wheels. In emergency situations, on purpose derailment with derails or catch points is sometimes used to stop a more serious accident from taking place.

Seyfert's Sextet

Seyfert's Sextet is a group of galaxies. It is located about 190 million light years away from Earth. From Earth, it is in the constellation of Serpens. Although appears to have 6 members, one of the galaxies, NGC 6027d, is just a background galaxy and another member, NGC 6027e, is actually not a galaxy, it is just the tidal tail from the galaxy NGC 6027. All of the galaxies are violently interacting and will continue hundreds of millions of years. They all will collide into one giant elliptical galaxy.

Discovery 
The group was discovered by Carl Keenan Seyfert in using photographic plates made at the Barnard Observatory of Vanderbilt University. The results were published in 1951. At the time, this group is the most compact galactic group ever identified.

Members 
There are 4 true members of the group, 1 background galaxy and 1 object that is now identified to be a tidal tail.

CP Lee

Christopher Paul Lee (19 November 1953 – 25 July 2020) was a British musician, author, broadcaster and lecturer from Manchester, England.

Biography
Lee was born in Didsbury, south Manchester. He was a writer, broadcaster, lecturer and performer who started playing in the venues, colleges, universities, stadiums and clubs of the mid 1970s and early 1980s with his band Alberto y Lost Trios Paranoias. In 1977 Lee wrote the "snuff-rock" musical Sleak, which ran for several months in London's Royal Court Theatre and the Roundhouse. Alberto y Lost Trios Paranoias split up in 1982 after releasing four albums. Lee then wrote and performed a tribute show of routines by Lord Buckley, first in Manchester and later in other places including Amsterdam, New York, Dubai and London. He also worked as a music journalist.

In 1979, Lee and John Scott released their debut album as "Gerry & the Holograms". The title track is claimed by some to be have been ripped off by The Cure's "The Walk".

When We Were Thin (published August 2008) is a personal memoir in which Lee recounts how he produced one side of the first Factory Records release, ate muffins with Andy Warhol, drove a table with Wreckless Eric and was Elvis Costello for a day.

Lee's other works included books about David Bowie, one of which, Like The Night (Revisited), focuses on the shout of 'Judas' aimed at Bowie at his Manchester Free Trade Hall performance in 1969, which was the climax of Martin Scorsese's documentary of Bowie, No Direction Home.

CP Lee retired after being a course leader in film studies and senior lecturer at the University of Salford, and continued writing and presenting talks, as well as documentaries for BBC Radio and TV.

Lee died on 25 July 2020, aged 66.
