Bastia is a town and commune of northern Corsica, in France. It is the capital (in French "préfecture") of the Haute-Corse "département" and has a population of about 40,000 inhabitants. Bastia is also an important Corsican port and is famous for its wines. The rate of unemployment in the commune has been very high, and was 20% in 2004.
Bastia is in the northeast of Corsica, at the base of Cap Corse. Bastia is the main port of the island and its principal commercial town. The wind in Bastia is frequent and violent.
Before the occupation of Corsica by the Genoese, Cardo was a large city. Around the city were little villages where the fishermen of Cardo lived. This little port was called Porto Cardo, which means "the port of Cardo."
The Genoese felt the need to shelter the city from the sea storms and began to construct walls and buildings. In the time of governor Leonello Lomellini, in 1380, they built a "bastiglia", also known as a citadel. With time, the "bastiglia" (Bastia) became more prosperous and important than Cardo.
Bastia was the capital of Corsica until 1791.
The official football team of Basti is the Sporting Club de Bastia.

Shche ne vmerla Ukrainy i slava i volya
"Šče ne vmerła Ukrajina" ( Ще не вмерла Україна, [ˈʃtʃɛ nɛ ˈu̯mɛrɫɐ ʊkrɐˈjinɐ] ; 'Ukraine Hath Not Perished' or 'Nay, Ukraine Is Not Dead') was originally a 19th-century patriotic poem written by Kievan ethnographer Paul Chubinsky (Pavło Čubynśkyj). Now currently the national anthem of Ukraine, the music composed by Michael Werbitzky (Mychajło Verbyćkyj)—a Ukrainian Greek Catholic priest—was officially adopted by the country's unicameral parliament Verchovna Rada in 1992 after the end of the Soviet Union. The lyrics (words), which have been changed a bit, were adopted in 2003 by the Law on the Anthem of Ukraine.
The title is officially called the State Anthem of Ukraine (Державний Гімн України / "Deržavnyj Himn Ukrajiny"), rather than "Ukraine Hath Not Yet Perished".
As Ukraine is a very diverse multi-ethnic country with several foreign languages spoken besides Ukrainian and Russian, the anthem's lyrics have been unofficially translated into various foreign languages spoken by the various ethnic groups in Ukraine. (Note that this is a dynamic list which does not include every spoken language of Ukraine for the sake of space.)
This version in English was translated by George Yury Right, a Russian American antisexual activist, scholar, computer programmer, video game designer and writer.
A poetic version in Esperanto was translated by Viktor Jaskovec and Volodymyr Pacjurko in 1991.

Toad (Nintendo)
Toad and the species were first seen in the game "Super Mario Bros.". Toad's design was made directly from the power up, the Super Mushroom as well as the game's general use with mushrooms. Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of the Mario series, made a reason that Toad's creation was that of being a character that has a simplistic design; yet, still appears cute and lovely and pleases to everybody. In the game, the peaceful Toads of the Mushroom Kingdom had been turned into various objects such as bricks and pipes by the evil King Bowser; however, some of Princess Toadstool's loyal servants, known as the "Mushroom Retainers" were simply kidnapped. During the making of "New Super Mario Bros. Wii", the developers at Nintendo decided between four characters to be playable in the game: Princess Peach, Toad, Wario and Waluigi (all suggestions made by fans). Two Toads (yellow and blue) were eventually included as playable characters in "New Super Mario Bros. Wii" due to their physical similarity to Mario and Luigi.
Toad is considered one of the major Mario series characters, because he is playable and appears in many of the games. Toad appears in lots of Mario merchandise, such as toys, plushies, and keychains, among other things. Toad is featured in Nintendo's board games such as being on the protagonist side in the Mario themed chess set, as well as being a purchasable character in the Nintendo Monopoly game. In , Toad's hat is available after getting 3000 points in Tom Nook's Point Tracking system.
"Black Pear Tree", an EP by The Mountain Goats and Kaki King, features a song titled "Thank You Mario But Our Princess is in Another Castle," sung from the view of Toad. Toad ranked in the seventh slot on Game Daily's top 10 Nintendo characters that deserve their own games list; the site explained that he has a strong appeal that Nintendo has yet to tap into. Toad is listed as number two in the most neglected Mario Bros. characters list as he has been described by the site to have been ignored by Nintendo for quite a while due to the lack of starring roles he gets in the more recent games. In an Oricon poll from 2008, Toad was voted as the eighth most popular video game character in Japan. IGN editor Matt Casamassina criticized Nintendo for including the Toads over more notable characters in the "Mario" series for New Super Mario Bros. Wii, arguing that the developers were being lazy to not include other characters because the Toads were easier to make.
