Rugby union (aften referred tae as rugby, union or fitba) is a variant o rugby fitbaw. Rugby union is aye played wi teams o 15 players, awtho thare's rugby sievens an aw, a swippert gemme wi 7 players on baith teams. The name comes fae the the gemme's foremaist owerseein body, the Rugby Football Union. It is ane o the twa codes o rugby, the ither bein rugby league.
The gemme wis developed frae the rules uised tae play fitbaw at Rugby schuil in Ingland. The main differ frae fitbaw is that in rugby the baw is an oval, no a sphere, an that the players is alloued tae lift the baw up an rin wi it. The players is alloued tae fling the baw fae player tae player, but no forrit: the baw maun gang sideweys or back whan flung.
It is a popular gemme parteecularly in Nou Zealand, Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, Wales, Ingland, Ireland, Scotland, Fraunce, Australie, Argentina an Sooth Africae. Rugby union is winnin mair parteecipants in Italie, efter its acceptance intae the Sax Nations, an Japan, mauger thair failt ettle tae haud the 2011 Rugby Warld Cup that gaed tae New Zealand.
The International Rugby Board (IRB), foondit in 1886, governs the gemme an sets furth the gemme's laws an aw. Thare's 95 full members an 8 associate member kintras the nou. Frae IRB feegures, rugby is gettin played in mair nor 100 kintras ower five continents by men an weemen o aw eilds. The IRB haes owerins ower the Rugby Warld Cup, the Weemen's Rugby Warld Cup, Rugby Warld Cup Sievens, IRB Sievens Warld Series, Nether 21 Warld Cup, Unner 19 Warld Cup, an the Super Pouers Cup. It will haud votes for tae wirk oot whaur thir events is tae be be hauden.
Owerview
The gemme lasts for 80 meenits (twa haufs o 40 meenits) an is guided by a referee that twa touch judges gies a haund tae. Ilks team alternately attacks the opposition dale or fends thair ain. Thir dales is merkit at baith ends o the pitch by twa muckle (10 m or mair) stobs set 5.6 m apairt, an connectit by a cross-bauk 3 m abuin the grund; the hail formin the shape o a letter H. A team can score by kickin the baw atween the stobs an ower the cross-bauk, but the baw can anerly be kickit frae the grund: aither frae a place kick efter the awaird o a penalty or frae a drap kick in open play. A successfu kick at the dale is wirth three pynts. The area ahint ilka set o dale stobs is cawed the in goal are an the attackin team can score by grundin the baw here: cryed a "try" an wirth five pynts. Efter scorin a try, the attackin team is gien a free kick at the dale (cryed a conversion) for an extra twa pynts.
Gemme Pairk
A rugby union pairk consists o a maximum gemme area o 144x70m on a girse surface. Lines are pentit on tae the field at regular intervals; deid baw line, try line, 22 metre line (afore the metric system was introduced, this wis the 25-yard line), 10 metre line (braiken line) an haufwiy. This is mirrored oan the other side o the pairk. Lines are 5 metres awa fae the try line an side line an 15 metres awa fae the side line. The length fae try line tae try line is aye 100 metres; the ane varying distances oan a rugby pairk are the wadth o the pairk, an the distance fae try line to deid baw line.
1.2 metre padded flags are placed neist the pairk for indication on the haufwiy line, 22, try line an deid baw line. The try line an deid baw line flags are pit on the intersection wi the touch line an are considered oot if hit gin a player cerryin the baw, or the baw itsel.
Players
A rugby union coar consists o 15 players, eicht furrits nummered 1 tae 8, an sieven backs, nummered 9 tae 15. Depending oan the competition, thare may be up tae sieven replacements (substitutes or reserves). Professional rugby can hae sieven reserves, wi a player bein allouit tae be substituted ance, hin thiy are a front rower an are replacing an injured front rower. Anither exception tae this rule is the "bluid bin" whaur a player wi a visible hagger can lea' the gemme for 10 meenits an then retour tae continue efter gettin treatment. A player sent tae the bluid bin may be replaced gin anither player during treatment; if the bluidit player retours tae the gemme athin 10 meenits, it is no coontit as a substitution.
The main role o the furrits is tae git an haud possession o the baw. They tak pairt in set pieces of the scrum an the line-oot. Aye, furrits are mair muckle than the backs, which maks them mair savendie bit mair langsome. Furrits hae a role in takkin the baw furrit an aw, but aye dae sae gin drivin intae the opposing forwards.
The role o the backs is tae muive the gemme furrit gin runnin or kickin the baw. The scrum-hauf will git possession o the baw fae the furrits an aye feed it tae the fly hauf (no.10) wha then controls how the attacking coar will gang. The backline will aye score its tries gin focussing on the tactical placement o players, makkin holes in the opposition defence line. A guid backine will mak the opposition commit muckle mony players at strategic points allowing for space tae open up for the mair fast, outside backs (wingers an fullback).
The foalyin picter locates the various positions in the 15-man coar. Aw members o the stairting 15 weir sarks nummered fae 1 tae 15 an keyed tae their positions. The foremaist eicht players, kent as furrits or the pack, play in the scrum. The ither sieven players play as the backs.

Liliales
Liliales is an order o monocotyledonous flouerin plants. This order o necessity includes the faimily Liliaceae, but baith the faimily an the order hae haed a widely disputit history, wi the circumscription varyin greatly frae ane taxonomist tae another. Weel kent plants frae the order include Lilium (lily), tulip, the North American wildflouer Trillium, an greenbrier.
The APG III seestem (2009) places this order in the clade monocots. In APG III, the faimily Luzuriagaceae is combined wi the faimily Alstroemeriaceae an the faimily Petermanniaceae is recognized. APG III uises this circumscription:
The order haes warldwide distribution. The lairger faimilies (wi mair nor 100 species) are roughly confined tae the Northren Hemisphere, or are distributit warldwide, centerin on the north. On the ether haund, the smaller faimilies (wi up tae 10 species) are confined tae the Southren Hemisphere, or sometimes just tae Australie or Sooth Americae. The tot nummer o species in the order is nou aboot 1300.
As wi any yerbaceous group, the fossil record o the Liliales is rather scarce. There are several species frae the Eocene, such as Petermanniopsis anglesaensis or Smilax, but their identification is nae definite. Another kent fossil is Ripogonum scandens frae the Miocene. Due tae the scarcity o data, it seems impossible tae determine precisely the age an the initial distribution o the order. It is assumed that the Liliales originate frae the Lower Cretaceous, ower 100 million years ago. The initial diversification tae the faimilies teuk place atween 82 an 48 million years ago (Vinnersten an Bremer, 2001).
Aulder classifications
The APG seestem (1998) also placed the order in the clade monocots, but wi a slightly different circumscription (missin the faimily Corsiaceae):
Wichita leid
Wichita is a moribund Caddoan leid spoken in Oklahoma bi the Wichita an Affiliated Tribes. The last fluent speaker remainin, Doris McLemore, died on 30 August 2016. awtho fower fowk speak it conversantly as o 2017. Wichita coud suin acome extinct, housomeivver, the tribe affers cless tae revitalize the leid an wirks in pairtnership wi Wichita Documentation Project o the University o Colorado, Boulder.
Liliales
Aulder classifications
The Cronquist seestem (1981) placed the order in subclass Liliidae in the class Liliopsida [= monocotyledons] o diveesion Magnoliophyta [= angiosperms]. It uised a much wider circumscription (mony o the plants here are assigned tae Asparagales an Dioscoreales bi APG II):
The Thorne seestem (1992) placed the order in superorder Lilianae in subclass Liliidae [= monocotyledons ] o class Magnoliopsida [= dicotyledons] an uised this circumscription:
The Dahlgren seestem placed the order in superorder Lilianae in subclass Liliidae [= monocotyledons] o class Magnoliopsida [= angiosperms] an uised this circumscription:
In the Engler seestem (1964 update) a similar order wis named Liliiflorae, placed in the class Monocotyledoneae o the subdiveesion Angiospermae.
The Wettstein seestem, last revised in 1935, uised names similar tae those in the Engler seestem: the order wis named Liliiflorae placed in the class Monocotyledones o the subdivision Angiospermae. In circumscription the order wis fairly similar tae that o Cronquist.
Earlier names for this order include the Coronarieae o the Bentham & Hooker seestem.

After three years with RCA, Chayanne switched labels to Sony Music and broke out with his first self-titled album in 1987. This album featured a blend of ballads and dance tracks, a formula for which Chayanne would be famous. It featured two hit songs, the ballad "Peligro de Amor" written by Michael Sullivan and Paulo Massadas and a song that would cement him as an overall performer, the upbeat dance track "Fiesta en America" written by Honorio Herrero.
In 1988, Chayanne released the eponymous second self-titled album, Chayanne.

Two years later, he released the album Influencias (1994), which was a tribute to some of his musical influences. In 1996, he released Volver a Nacer.
In 1998, he received his second Grammy nomination with the album Atado a Tu Amor, which featured his first number-one hit since 1992, "Dejaria Todo" as well as a long-lasting hit in the title track. The hot streak continued in 2000 when Chayanne released Simplemente with the top-ten hit "Candela" and the number-one hit "Yo Te Amo". In 2002, he released Grandes Exitos, a greatest hits album with a few new tracks. One of those new tracks, "Y Tu Te Vas", was the number-one song of the summer in 2002. The next year, Chayanne released Sincero which featured two number-one songs, "Un Siglo Sin Ti" and "Cuidarte el Alma". In 2005, he did a tour along with Mexican Alejandro Fernández and fellow Puerto Rican Marc Anthony. That same year, he released two albums.

When interviewed he noted that the concert would be fluid "like a musical", and "more Latin" than his previous presentations, being composed of "more pop, Brazilian, Caribbean and reggae rhythms" which he would use to "dance constantly". He also gave a special performance in Miss Universe 2003 pageant.
On November 3, 2009, Chayanne released a new single titled "Me Enamoré de Ti", serving as the theme song for the 2009 soap opera "Corazon Salvaje". This single is featured in Chayanne's 2010 release, No Hay Imposibles.
Acting career
In the 1980s, Chayanne participated in several soap operas and starred in the comedy series Generaciones with Luis Antonio Rivera.

Benedict Arnold
Benedict Arnold V (Januar 14, 1741-Juin 14, 1801) wis a general durin the American Revolutionary War. He began the war in the Continental Airmy but later defected tae the British Airmy. While he wis still a general on the American side, he obtained command o the fort at Wast Point, New York, an plotted unsuccessfully tae surrender it tae the Breetish. Efter the plot wis exposed in September 1780, he entered the Breetish Airmy as a brigadier general.
Born in Connecticut, he wis a merchant operating ships on the Atlantic Ocean when the war broke oot in 1775. Efter joinin the growin airmy ootside Boston, he distinguished himsel throu acts o cunnin an bravery. His actions includit the Capture o Fort Ticonderoga in 1775, successfu defensive an delayin tactics despite losin the Battle o Valcour Island on Lake Champlain in 1776, the Battle o Ridgefield, Connecticut (efter which he wis promotit tae major general), operations in relief o the Siege o Fort Stanwix, an key actions durin the pivotal Battles of Saratoga in 1777, in which he suffered leg injuries that endit his combat career for several years.
In spite o his successes, Arnold wis passed ower for promotion bi the Continental Congress while ither officers claimed credit for some o his accomplishments. Adversaries in military an poleetical circles brocht charges o corruption or ither malfeasance, but he wis acquittit in maist formal inquiries. Congress investigatit his accoonts, an foond that he awed it money efter he haed spent much o his awn money on the war effort. Frustratit an bitter, Arnold decidit tae chynge sides in 1779, an opened secret negotiations wi the Breetish. In Julie 1780, he sought an obtained command o Wast Point in order tae surrender it tae the Breetish. Arnold's scheme wis exposed when American forces captured Breetish Major John André carryin papers that revealed the plot. Upon learnin o André's capture, Arnold fled doun the Hudson River tae the Breetish sloop-o-war Vulture, narrowly avoidin capture bi the forces o George Washington, who haed been alertit tae the plot.
Arnold received a commission as a brigadier general in the Breetish Airmy, an annual pension o £360, an a lump sum o ower £6,000. He led Breetish forces on raids in Virginia, an against New Lunnon an Groton, Connecticut, afore the war effectively endit wi the American victory at Yorktown. In the winter o 1782, Arnold moved tae Lunnon wi his seicont wife, Margaret "Peggy" Shippen Arnold. He wis well received bi Keeng George III an the Tories but frouned upon bi the Whigs. In 1787, he entered intae mercantile business wi his sons Richard an Henry in Saunt John, New Brunswick, but returned tae Lunnon tae settle permanently in 1791, whaur he dee'd ten years later.
Because o the wey he changed sides his name quickly became a byword in the Unitit States for traison or betrayal. His conflictin legacy is recalled in the ambiguous naitur o some o the memorials that hae been placed in his honour.
Clayton, Manchester
Clayton is a suburb o the ceety o Manchester, in North Wast Ingland. Historically in Lancashire, it is situatit aboot 3 mile east o the ceety centre, on Ashton New Road. Clayton takes its name from the Clayton faimily who awned lairge pairts o laund aroond the aurie, includin Clayton Vale, throu which the River Medlock flows (separating Clayton frae neebourin Newton Heath).

Opeth
Opeth is a Swedish hivy metal baund frae Stockholm, formit in 1990. Tho the group haes been throu several personnel chynges, sangster, guitarist, an sangwriter Mikael Åkerfeldt haes remained Opeth's drivin force throughoot the years. Opeth haes consistently incorporatit progressive, fowk, blues, classical an jazz influences intae thair uisually lengthy compositions, as well as noticeable influences frae black metal an daith metal, maist notably in thair early wirks. Mony sangs include acoustic guitar passages an strang dynamic shifts, as well as baith daith grouls an clean vocals. Opeth rarely made live appearances supportin thair first fower albums; but syne conductin thair first warld tour efter the 2001 release o Blackwater Park, thay hae led several major warld tours.
Opeth haes released ten studio albums, three live DVDs, three live albums (twa that are in conjunction wi DVDs), an twa boxsets. The baund released its debut album Orchid in 1995. Awtho thair aicht studio album, Ghost Reveries, wis quite popular in the Unitit States, Opeth did no experience major American commercial success till the 2008 release o thair nint studio album, Watershed, which peakit at nummer twinty-three on the Billboard 200, an toppit the Finnish albums chairt in its first week o release. Opeth sauld ower 2 million albums an DVDs warldwide, includin 300,000 collective Soundscans o thair albums Blackwater Park, Damnation an Deliverance in the Unitit States.
Influences
As Opeth's primary sangwriter an leericist, vocalist/guitarist Mikael Åkerfeldt heids the direction o Opeth's soond. Influencit at a young age bi hivy metal baunds sic as Iron Maiden, Slayer, Death, Black Sabbath, Celtic Frost, King Diamond, Morbid Angel, an maist importantly Judas Priest. Åkerfeldt considers Sad Wings of Destiny the best metal album o aw time, an notes that thare wis a time when he anerlie listened tae Judas Priest. Åkerfeldt sings "Here Come the Tears" bi Judas Priest afore maist Opeth concerts while wairmin up.
Genre an soond
Åkerfeldt later discovered progressive rock an fowk music, baith o which haed a profoond impact on the soond o the baund. Opeth's distinct soond mixes daith metal wi progressive rock. In his review o Opeth's 2001 album Blackwater Park, Allmusic's Eduardo Rivadavia wrote; "Tracks stairt an feenish in seemingly arbitrary fashion, uisually traversin ample muisical terrain, includin acoustic guitar an solo piano passages, ambient soondscapes, stoner rock grooves, an Eastren-tingit melodies—any o which are subject tae savage punctuations o daith metal fury at ony given moment." Åkerfeldt commentit on the diversity o Opeth's muisic:
"'I don't see the point of playing in a band and going just one way when you can do everything. It would be impossible for us to play just death metal; that is our roots, but we are now a mishmash of everything, and not purists to any form of music. It's impossible for us to do that, and quite frankly I would think of it as boring to be in a band that plays just metal music. We're not afraid to experiment, or to be caught with our pants down, so to speak. That's what keeps us going.'"

Geografie

Its northren mairch is a veritable muntain barrier: Berguedà is separatit frae Cerdanya bi a chain o 2,000-meter peaks. Thae include the muntain ranges o Cadí, Moixeró, Puig d'Alp an Puigllançada. In this aurie the population is centert mainly in the Llobregat Valley an the glens o the rivers Bagà, Bastareny an Saldes. Eastle are the muntain ranges o Catllaràs an Rasos de Tubau, wastle the heich ranges o Pedraforca, Verd, Ensija an Rasos de Peguera.
The mair populous Baix Berguedà ("Lawer Berguedà") is the soothren pairt o the comarca. It lees alang the fuithills o the Pyrenees, transitionin intae the plains o the Catalan Central Depression.

For the next 60 year, growin opportunities in minin, textiles, forestry, nowt ranchin, an agricultur led tae a slaw but steady increase, wi 39,600 indwellers in 1930, 41,938 in 1950 an 47,953 in 1960.
