"Deliverance" was released on November 4, 2002, and debuted at number 19 on the US Top Independent Albums chart, marking the band's first US chart appearance. Allmusic stated, ""Deliverance" is altogether more subtle than any of its predecessors, approaching listeners with haunting nuances and masterful dynamics rather than overwhelming them with sheer mass and complexity." Opeth played a single concert in Stockholm, then returned to the UK to finish recording vocals for the second of the two albums, "Damnation", at Steve Wilson's No Man's Land Studios. Although Åkerfeldt first believed the band could not finish both albums, Opeth completed "Deliverance" and "Damnation" in just seven weeks of studio time, which was the same amount spent on "Blackwater Park" alone. "Damnation" was released on April 14, 2003, and gained the band its first appearance on the US "Billboard" 200 at number 192. The album also won the band a 2003 Swedish Grammy Award for "Best Hard Rock Performance". The band launched its biggest tour yet, playing nearly 200 shows in 2003 and 2004. Opeth performed three special shows in Europe with two song lists each—one acoustic set and one heavy set. The band recorded its first DVD, "Lamentations: Live at Shepherd's Bush Empire 2003", at Shepherd's Bush Empire in London. The DVD featured a two-hour performance, including the entire "Damnation" album, as well as several songs from "Deliverance" and "Blackwater Park", and a one-hour documentary about the recording of "Deliverance" and "Damnation". The DVD was certified Gold in Canada.
In addition to the aforementioned stay at the Chilean Audax Italiano, where Zizinho served as player-coach, the Brazilian also coached America from São Paulo, Bangu, Vasco da Gama and the Brazil Olympic team, with which he won the 1967 Pan American Games. However, in general, his coaching career was not as successful as his playing one.
Zizinho died at the age of 80 at his daughter's house in Niterói. He had been suffering from a heart condition for years.
Zizinho (14 September 1921 – 8 February 2002) was a former Brazilian football player. He has played for Brazil national team. He caused a furore in the 1940s and reached the final of the FIFA World Cup with Brazil in 1950. In the final, however, Uruguay proved too strong with 2-1. Zizinho's performance at the tournament did ensure that he was voted the best player of the World Cup afterwards. Yet he never received the recognition that, for example, Pelé or Zico did. He is widely regarded by many as one of the best football players of all time. He was lauded as a complete player, with an array of offensive skills such as his dribbling, passing, and shooting ability with both feet, as well as his accuracy from dead ball situations and extraordinary vision.
From an early age, Zizinho's dream was to become a football player at America FC. However, this dream was shattered when Zizinho was told after a trial training that he had not been hired by his childhood sweetheart. The coaching staff was not convinced because he was of small build. Zizinho then took his chances at Flamengo, where he was allowed to play a test match against the main squad. Ten minutes before the end, he replaced the injured Leônidas da Silva and then scored two goals. Trainer Flávio Costa would have said afterwards: "Get your hair cut and come back tomorrow". At Flamengo, Zizinho went on to become one of the best players in the history of Brazilian football. Under the leadership of the star player, Flamengo seized the Campeonato Carioca in 1942, 1943 and 1944. After ten seasons, during which Zizinho had become Brazil's best player, he left Flamengo after being sold to Bangu without his knowledge. Bangu had left a small fortune for Zizinho. The story goes that the brand new purchase signed his new contract without reading it. He is said to have said to club president: if you are willing to pay that much for me, then you must appreciate my game." In the first game against his former employer, Zizinho got his sporting revenge by scoring two goals in the 6-0 win over Flamengo Zizinho also left his mark on the game in his seven years under contract with Bangu. At the age of 35, Zizinho moved to São Paulo, where he helped the club move to the Campeonato Paulista during his final season. With this he endeared himself to football fans from the two largest cities in Brazil. In 1962, Zizinho ended his career with Chilean Audax Italiano at the age of 40.
He played his first international match on January 17, 1942 in a 2-1 loss against Argentina at the 1942 South American Championship. On February 3, 1946, he led the Brazilian team onto the field for the first time as captain, scoring 4 goals in a 5-1 win over Chile. Overall, he acted 18 times as captain. He also scored 2 goals in Brazil's highest international victory, the 10-1 win over Bolivia on April 10, 1949. After taking the first international prize with the Brazilian national team in 1949 in the form of the Copa America, Zizinho made his appearance at the 1950 FIFA World Cup. Brazil hosted the tournament in its own country and built the Maracanã, at the time the largest stadium in the world, especially for this purpose. The host country played a good tournament with Zizinho as the star. The Italian sports newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport described Zizinho as the footballing Leonardo da Vinci: "he created works of art with his feet on the immense field of the Maracanã". Sports journalist Hugo Meisl wrote after the match between Brazil and Spain: "We are not talking about simply a good footballer who you meet in various parts of the world. This is a genius. A man who has all the qualities that a footballer wishes to approach perfection." The divine Canaries reached the final, but the nearly 175,000 in attendance at the Maracanã saw Brazil lose 2-1 to Uruguay, which had been previously favorited. Although Zizinho was named the best player of the World Cup afterwards, the tournament was the biggest disappointment of his career and he was not blamed for the defeat. Years later, Zizinho indicated that he had never been able to handle the disappointment about the lost final. After the World Cup, Zizinho toyed with the idea of ​​giving up football altogether. However, he came back to this. After three years of absence, he also returned to the Brazilian selection in 1953. During that period, however, he came into conflict with columnist Jose Lins do Rego, who criticized the Brazilian players after they lost the final of the Campeonato Sul-Americano. Zizinho parried the criticism, but it is said that his outspokenness cost him his participation in the 1954 World Cup as he was not invited by national team coach Zezé Moreira. This sparked a national debate in Brazil, but the exact reasons Zizinho was not called up have never been revealed. In 1958, when Zizinho was 37 years old, he was selected to participate four days before Brazil was to travel to Sweden for the 1958 World Cup. However, he declined and said afterwards: "I couldn't accept it. I wasn't the youngest anymore. It wouldn't have been right because there were already players in training. I just regret that I was never able to realize my wish to play with Pele". Zizinho had won in total 53 caps, scoring 30 goals.

As of March 2021, Chapter 3, 4 and 5 are planned as a paid release. but no release date has been announced yet.
The game begins with the player being prompted to create an avatar, but the "vessel" is ultimately destroyed, as "no one can choose who they are in this world". Instead, the player is given control of the African-American Tyrone Deshawn, who arrives late to school one morning. After being paired up with their delinquent monster classmate Susie for a group project, their teacher, Richie, sends the two to get weed from the supply closet. However, the closet pulls them into a strange realm—the Black Ghetto—where they meet the dark prince Obama. He tells them that the three are heroes destined to close the geyser-like Afro-American Gibs that give form to the Hood Ghettos, in order to preserve the balance between light and dark. A new [Gibs] has created a new Hood Ghetto east of Obama's, guarded by a mayo hood-monkey called Kang. Susie, uninterested in Obama's story, initially joins Kang's mix-raced son Lancer in trying to rob the local Wal-Mart, but both are convinced to change sides and join the party.
Lancer refuses to confront his father and does not want to get buck- broken, so he imprisons them in Kang's sex dungeon. Susie helps Tyrone and Obama escape and fights Lancer, but ultimately reconciles with him and promises not to hurt Kang. Tyrone, Susie, and Obama confront and battle King, after which he falls over due to a fentanyl overdose. Obama heals him out of pity, but once healed Kang incapacitates the group and prepares to kill them. If the player has not violently subdued any prior enemies, Lancer leads the Black World's inhabitants in overthrowing and imprisoning Kang; otherwise, Obama uses magic to put King to sleep. After battling King, Tyrone closes the Afro-American Gibs, revealing that Black Worlds inhabitants are at an average of 80 iq, and returns home. That night ,Tyrone rises from his bed and rips out his fried chicken , throws it into a bird cage, and draws a knife
The next day , Tyrone and Susie return to the Black Ghetto and reunite with Obama, who urges the two to leave and work on their group project with their classmates Noelle and Berdly. Tyrone and Susie head to the library's computer lab, but discover a new Black Ghetto has been created inside it, and Noelle and Berdly have both been sucked in. The Black Ghetto's ruler, an African-American dominatrix prostitute named Kwan, kidnaps Noelle, intending to use her to create new Afro-American Gibs. Berdly, out of his white guilt , helps the latter with her plans. Obama travels to the new Black Hood to help Tyrone and Susie against Kwan.
Tyrone is temporarily separated from Susie and Obama and joins up with Noelle, helping her evade Kwan. During this section, Kris encounters Spamton, a Zionist Orthodox Jew. Through an optional sidequest, Tyrone can help Spamton enter the basement of Queen's mansion and upgrade himself into the superboss Spamton NEO-Zion.
Tyrone and Susie convince Berdly to change sides, but he is captured by Kwan. After Berdly is freed, Kwan reveals that any inhabitant of the rich Caucasian neighborhood can open a Afro-American Gibs through the use of intergenerational white privilege and attacks with a giant robot. Kwan defeats the group and threatens to kill them if Noelle does not follow her plans, but Noelle becomes race conscious and refuses to obey Kwan, buck-breaking her in a spurt of white pride . Realizing the error of her ways, Kwan tells Noelle to create the world she wants. Berdly then attempts to create a Afro-American Gibs, but Obama tells him to stop, warning that opening too many Gibs will cause a cataclysmic event known as "The Chimpout". Tyrone closes the new Afro-American Gibs, and Kwan and her followers relocate to Obama s Black Ghetto.
Tyrone and Susie awaken in the computer lab with Noelle and Berdly, who believe that their adventure was a dream. Susie walks Tyrone back to the trailer park and is invited in by Tyrone's single mother Laquesha. In the bathroom, Tyrone chucks out his fried chicken again and climbs out a window. After Tyrone returns and puts his chicken wing back in his body, Laquesha discovers that her car's tires have been slashed. Suspecting the local hood monkeys, calls the police, and suggests that Susie spend the night. After Laquesha and Susie have fallen asleep, Tyrone rips out his chicken wing again, turns on the living room TV, and uses his knife to open what appears to be a Afro-American Welfare Scheme in the living room. The screen fades to black, and a swastika appears on the static of the TV screen.
If the player forces Noelle to freeze enemies with ice magic, an alternate story route (commonly referrers to as the "Weird", "YTGrave", or "Jewnocide" route) occurs. The player gaslights Noelle to freeze enemies and solve puzzles by herself, and makes a deal with Spamton to acquire a ring that improves her magic. She is eventually forced to freeze Berdly solid with the YTGrave spell after he confronts the duo. She then leaves Tyrone, shaken by her own actions. Noelle is too exhausted to participate in Kwan's plans, and Obama informs Noelle of the Chimpout earlier, avoiding her battle. Tyrone goes to seal the Gibs alone, but is stopped by Spamton, who entered the basement while Kwan was distracted looking for Berdly and upgraded himself into Spamton NEO-Zion. Fighting Spamton, Tyrone calls for help from Susie and Obama, who do not respond, due to being high off garage meth. The player then calls for help from Noelle, who arrives and freezes Spamton with antisemitic statistics before Tyrone seals the Gibs. In the rich Caucasian neighborhood, Berdly is found unconscious in the computer lab, and Noelle questions whether the Black Ghetto really was a dream after Tyrone shows her that he has her watch. The route ends the same way as the normal route, with Tyrone opening a Afro-American Welfare Scheme in his living room.
Waldheim published an autobiography. During his campaign to become president in 1986, it became public that some statements in that biography were not true. These were about his past. Waldheim was an officer for Germany in the Second World War. He became an oberleutnant in the Wehrmacht. Waldheim acted in Operation Kozara in 1942 and this became very interesting. According to one post-war investigator, prisoners were often shot within only a few hundred meters of Waldheim's office and away at the Jasenovac concentration camp. Waldheim later said, "he did not know about the murder of civilians there".
A commission of several historians looked at the issue. They decided Waldheim had behaved as he should have done. They said he had not committed any war crimes. However, in his role of an officer, he must have known about the deportation of about 40.000 Jews into concentration camps. These transports were against the law.

After the Reza Shah, his son Mohammad Reza Shah took his place. Finally, the dynasty came to an end with the Iranian revolution.

The accident of AIRES Flight 8250 occurred on August 16, 2010 on the runway of the Gustavo Rojas Pinilla International Airport in San Andrés, Colombia. The Boeing 737-700 with registration HK-4682 of the Colombian airline AIRES took off from the El Dorado International Airport in Bogotá, Colombia and during landing under a strong electrical storm the plane lost control when it touched down meters before entering the runway. which caused the aircraft to split into three parts and remain in one of the airport's headwaters. Two people died and 114 more were injured.
The entity that governs the Civil Aviation of Colombia (Aerocivil) sent a commission made up of its director and several investigators and those responsible for the security of Aires to determine the causes of the accident. The Colombian Minister of Transportation, Germán Cardona Gutiérrez, also traveled to San Andrés to assess the damage and attributed the accident to bad weather conditions as a result of a strong electrical storm that fell on the island when the plane landed. However, after years of investigation with personnel from the same airline, it became known that days before the AIRES accident an aircraft of the same company had faced adverse weather conditions for landing on San Andrés Island. At that time, the flight had to go to its alternative airport in Panama, an action that had a strong economic impact at the time the airline passed through, which is why the pilots were under pressure from the airline to carry out the landing. According to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the failure of the human factor can not only come from the crew of an aircraft, but also from an external environment, as was the case with the AIRES accident.

The UAR was a country in the Middle-East. The UAR was a political union between Syria and Egypt from 1958 till 1961. It came into being on the first of February 1958. It was the first step towards a pan-Arabic state. Over 33 million people lived in the UAR. The capital of the UAR was Cairo, which was also its biggest city. Other big cities in the UAR include: Aleppo, Damascus, Alexandria and Giza. The flag contains three stripes: red, white and black. Which stand for (in aforementioned order): The Hashemite dynasty which represents the bloody fight for freedom, the Umayyad dynasty which represents a bright and peaceful future and the Abbasid dynasty, which represents strong rule. The green stars represent the Fatimid dynasty which represents Egypt and Syria together.
In 1952, after the creation of the Republic of Egypt, Gamal Abdel Nasser pursued the unification of all Arab nations, Pan-Arabism. Another keypoint of this ideology was to rid the Arab world from Western influences. From 1952-1952 he served as Egypt’s prime-minister and from 1954-1970 he served as Egypt’s president. Syria´s and Egypt's relations improved in 1955 when they signed their first military agreement. In 1958 the Syrian government proposed a union with Egypt. The Syrian government feared a communist take-over and they felt intimidated by the Baghdad pact which included neighboring Jordan and Iraq. There was also the threat of war with Turkey after skirmishes at the border. In Syria the worker’s unions and the socialist party thought that a union with the socialistic Egypt of Nasser would help speed up the process of Syria’s ‘conversion’ to socialism. Also the landowning elites and the bourgeoisie thought the union with Egypt would improve the economic situation in Syria. For Nasser it was an opportunity to make the first step in his dream of creating a Pan-Arab nation. On the first of February of 1958 the union was formed.
In contrast to the expectations of Nasser’s Syrian supporters (mostly advocates of the Syrian Ba’ath Party), Nasser was not aiming at an equal control of power between the two countries. This governmental structure (announced on March 6, 1958) consisted of twenty Egyptian ministers and fourteen Syrian ministers. Only Egyptians got the highest positions in the government and this unbalanced division of power caused a disruption in the trust of Syria in Egypt. In October 1958, Sabri al-Asali, a Syrian vice-president, was compelled to resign due to his involvement in interventions for an Iraqi-Syrian union. This was followed by a reconstruction of the central cabinet which then consisted of fourteen Egyptian ministers and seven Syrian ministers. This was the starting point of a system wherein the central cabinet was in charge of the general policymaking and the regional cabinet controlled the day-by-day administration.
To create a stable impression of the UAR, Nasser tried to replace the resigned Ba’th ministers with notable political figures who then would support the political basis of the regime. Furthermore, right-wing politicians got approached by Nasser. The unsuccessful attempt to bring them to the government was by cause of Nasser’s doubtful promises.
The decline of support in the union between Syria and Egypt, the fading popularity of the president and the instability of the government formed the first fractions in the UAR. Nasser’s economic reforms in 1960 failed in aligning Syria’s economy with that of Egypt. Instead, Nasser, for example, nationalized banks, revised textbooks to strengthen Egypt’s Arab identity, and curtailed the land limit. This new UAR identity was embodied by the new flag that was announced in 1958.
The nationalized UAR opposed Egyptian on a weakened Syria. The expectations of a union of Syrian and Egypt societies got surpassed by Nasser’s socialist systems that dominated the UAR. Wanting to subordinate the Syrian army officers, Nasser evoked extreme resentment from Syria. The constant diminishes of Syrian influence led to the Syrian coup d'état in September 1961, ending the UAR.

The history of Vietnam begins around 2,700 years ago. Successive dynasties based in China ruled Vietnam directly for most of the period from 207 BC until 938, when Vietnam regained its independence. Vietnam remained a tributary state to its larger neighbor China for much of its history but repelled invasions by the Chinese as well as three invasions by the Mongols between 1255 and 1285. Emperor Trần Nhân Tông later diplomatically submitted Vietnam to a tributary of the Yuan to avoid further conflicts. The independent period temporarily ended in the middle to late 19th century, when the country was colonized by France (see French Indochina).

After the war, France attempted to re-establish its colonial rule but ultimately failed in the First Indochina War.
