Operation Rolling Thunder

***OPERATION ROLLING THUNDER: 1965-1968***

On 2 March 1965, the USAF began a systematic bombing campaign against North Vietnam named **Rolling Thunder**. Planners hoped to provide a morale boost to the South Vietnamese forces, interdict the flow of supplies going south, and discourage the North Vietnamese aggression.
Flying from bases in South Vietnam and Thailand, the USAF started hitting targets near the demilitarized zone (DMZ) between North and South Vietnam. By advancing the target areas northward across North Vietnam, planners intended to apply gradual pressure and use bombing halts as incentives to negotiate.

## Television

In 2017, Ennis was a member of a winning team on _The Chase_. He earned £9,000 in his Cash Builder round and defeated chaser Paul Sinha to take that money into the Final Chase. The other three contestants also advanced, but each of them took negative low offers from Sinha so that the final prize total was £6,300. Outraged viewers set up a GoFundMe campaign to compensate Ennis for his share of the money lost through his teammates' decisions. Ennis requested for all money to be donated to charity.

In April 2020, Ennis was announced as the sixth chaser on The Chase, alongside Mark Labbett, Shaun Wallace, Anne Hegerty, Paul Sinha and Jenny Ryan. His Chaser-debut episode was aired on 19 November 2020. His debut brought in 4.9 million viewers, making it the most watched episode of The Chase ever.

South American sea lion

The **South American sea lion** (_Otaria flavescens_), is a type of sea lion. It is also called the **Southern Sea lion** and the **Patagonian sea lion**. The South American fur sea lion is found on the Ecuadorian, Peruvian, Chilean, Falkland Islands, Argentinean, Uruguayan, and Southern Brazilian coasts. It is the only living species of the genus ***Otaria***.

### History

The South American sea lion was named _Otaria flavescens_ by George Shaw in 1800. Shortly thereafter, another species, _O. byronia_, was named in 1820 by Henri Marie Ducrotay de Blainville. These two names were used historically, but today the preference is for the name _O. flavencens_. The most common nickname for this species depends largely on the location; for example, names such as **"león marino"** (sea lion) and **"lobo marino"** (sea wolf) exist in many regions and are used to refer to this species.

### Evolution

Like many species, the evolutionary history of the South American sea lion (_Otaria flavecens_) is still debated. The species is believed to have emerged in the Late Pleistocene, about 129,000 years ago. Paleontologists say this species evolved from ancestral species in the Late Pliocene and Middle Pleistocene.

## Human relation

Sea lions are usually not very aggressive, only becoming aggressive when provoked or when approached too closely. Many people still enjoy their presence. Many markets sell toys and artifacts made from this species, demonstrating compassion, admiration, and empathy for these animals.

It is estimated that there are as many as 265,000 South American sea lions present in the world. This species is quite common in Patagonia, in what is now Argentina.

### Diet and ecology

This species typically feeds on fish, squid, and some species of octopus. They have been observed preying on penguins, seal pups, and even pelicans. This species may also be preyed upon by marine mammals such as orcas, great white sharks, and tiger sharks.
Pseudorandom number generator

A **pseudorandom number generator** is a way that computers generate numbers. _There is no known way for a computer to generate numbers which are truly random_. A computer algorithm can generate numbers which look random.

An analogy is a jar of (numbered) marbles. Humans can reach into the jar and grab "random" marbles. However, to understand pseudo random numbers, we must understand that this process is not random. We decided to reach into the bag based off of our brain giving us a signal to reach in this way, and the marbles themselves being arranged in a certain way.

Pseudo-random number generators are computer routines which tell the computer how to produce a number which _looks_ random.

The initial position of the marbles is called the "seed." The seed is used to create the randomness. To come up with the seed some programs use time of day, while others convert background noise into a number.

When you need to get the next random number ("marble") the generator calculates it with some algorithm. It is based on the previous generated number, in turn, depending on the initial "seed." The algorithm is strict, it will always produce the same sequence of random numbers ("marbles") given the same initial "seed".
Subantarctic fur seal

The **subantarctic fur seal** (_Arctocephalus tropicalis_), is a type of fur seal. It found in the southern parts of the Indian, Pacific, and Atlantic Oceans.
House of Bruce

The **House of Bruce** began as the lords of Annandale. The most well known member was King Robert the Bruce. He beat the English army at the Battle of Bannockburn and became king. He died in 1329. He was succeeded by King David II, his son. He was deposed by Edward Balliol.

David II died at Edinburgh Castle at age 46. With him the House of Bruce ended.
African civet

The **African civet** (_Civettictis civetta_) is a large type of civet in the family Viverridae. It is native to Sub-Saharan Africa  . It is a Least Concern species. In some countries, it is threatened by hunting, and wild  African civets are kept for producing civetone to make some types of perfume.
Run

**Run** can mean:
- Running
- Run (baseball), a point scored in baseball
- Run (cricket), a point scored in cricket
- Run (Sash! song), a 2002 song
- Run (2014 movie)
- Run (island), an island in Indonesia
- Bank run, when many people take their money from a bank
- A political campaign
Alexander Taraikovsky

**Alexander Taraikovsky** (26 March 1986 – 10 August 2020) was a participant in protests against the false numbers of the 2020 Belarusian presidential election. He was shot dead point-blank (from a very close range) by special forces officers on August 10, 2020, in Minsk. The government-run media tried to present it as something that happened through his own carelessness (failure to take the care that a cautious person usually takes).

He was shot by the police on the evening of August 10, 2020, near Pushkinskaya metro station in Minsk.

He was buried at Western cemetery in Minsk on August 15, 2020. The death of Taraikovsky caused more protests.

On December 21, 2020, the representative of the public initiative "Belarusian People's Tribunal" Igor Makar published the materials of the preliminary investigation. They claimed that Aleksandr Taraikovsky was deliberately and cynically killed by an employee of the Special Anti-Terrorist Unit "Almaz" Korovin Nikita Yuryevich ( born in 1993), with the complicity of other unidentified employees of this special forces unit.

On February 2, 2021, TUT.BY got the results of the audio test of the recording made by BYPOL. Nikolai Karpenkov the chief of GUBOPiK (a special police unit in Belarus) is heard to say that he was shot by the police. The expert test made it clear that the Nikolai Karpenkov's voice is on the record and there are no signs of changes made to it.

## Reaction

On September 17, 2020, European Parliament spoke on the situation in Belarus. It printed a decision, supported by many people in the parliament, calling for an "independent and effective investigation" into the death of Alexander Taraikovsky related to the protests.

On November 19, 2020, Jim Gilmore, United States Ambassador to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, spoke on a three-month end of the investigation into the death of Alexander Taraikovsky. He said that it is another sign of “the impunity with which Belarusian security forces pursue their violent crackdown on peaceful protesters.”

On November 26, 2020, European Parliament spoke on the situation in Belarus.  It printed a decision calling for a "prompt, thorough, impartial and independent investigation into the death of Alexander Taraikovsky."
