World Hyperball Championships 1996
World Hyperball Championships 1996
Mitte der 90er wollte man Paintball mehr zu einem Sport machen, der auch von der Öffentlichkeit eher als Sport wahrgenommen wird.
Der erste Schritt wurde schon mit den Konzept Feldern in den 80ern getan. Dennoch fanden selbst noch Mitte der 90er Spiele der besten Turniere (national wie international) auf bewaldeten Spielflächen statt. Immer mehr Teams schlossen sich der No Camo Bewegung an, welche ihren Ursprung in Deutschland hatte und den Sport bewusst zu einem besseren Ansehen verhelfen sollte.
Und dann kam der nächste, große und wichtige Schritt. Diesmal aus Birmingham, UK.
Die Macher von WDP brachten etwas völlig Neues: HYPERBALL.
Ein neue Spielformat auf völlig neuen Feldern, Zuschauerfreundlich und strikt No Camo versprach es das nächste große Ding zu werden.
Leider war das nicht ganz so einfach. So ein Hyperball Feld braucht Platz, die Röhren, die als Deckungen dienten waren sperrig und teuer usw. usw. Aber Hyperball zeigte die richtige Richtung für den Paintballsport auf.
Nur etwas später kam ein Franzose, Laurent Hamet (TonTons), auf die Idee der aufblasbaren Deckungen - SupAir Ball. Nun, dies ist die eine Version... Eine Andere besagt, dass der Erfinder der aufblasbaren Deckungen ein Anderer war, aber das bessere Marketing (Hamet) gesiegt hat.
WDP bekam relativ wenig Unterstützung von der Paintball Industrie für das Hyperball Konzept und die hohen Kosten sowie einige andere Kleinigkeiten standen einer großen Verbreitung im Wege.
SupAir Ball bot dazu noch eine bis dato ungeahnte Flexibilität was das Layout des Feldes und die Beschaffenheit des Geländes anging.
Hyperball: futuristic-looking paintball fields constructed of black corrugated plastic tubing from a few inches in diameter to several feet in diameter and length, arrayed in symmetrical patterns and constructed in shapes and sizes that better resemble something out of Logan's Run than a sports field. Hyperball fields can be found around the paintball world in modern times, and are enjoyed by players from their first day of play. The splatter flying off of the hard plastic bunkers and the signature knock-knock-knock of paintballs breaking against the bunkers keeps every player's heart pounding, and Hyperball fields may have finally taken a back seat to inflatable paintball fields from Sup Air Ball and Ultimate Air Ball, but there was a time when Hyperball was created and reserved for the very best players in the game.
WDP, manufacturers of the Angel and owners of Pure Promotions, producers of the National Professional Paintball League Super Seven Series, conceptualized, created and launched the Hyperball concept at the first-ever Hyperball tournament, the 1996 Hyperball World Championships, held in the United Kingdom. Teams from across Europe and even the United States attended the event, which WDP also used as the venue to launch their revolutionary Angel V6 electropneumatic paintball gun. In a shock to the entire paintball industry and the attending teams, camouflage, long the default uniform for any paintball player, was completely banned. No team at the event was allowed to play on the Hyperball field if they chose to wear camouflage to the tournament.
The championships were held again in 1997, and the show was even better, with live bands, body piercers, beach volleyball and even extra-industry sponsors like Corona. However, while the World Hyperball Championships were, according to most who attended, the first time paintball had ever been promoted properly outside the woods, WDP received little support from the paintball industry at the time, and found the events less than profitable, other than from a public relations standpoint. After selling the Hyperball concept to Brass Eagle, WDP turned their backs on the paintball tournament promotions business to focus on their hot new paintball gun, the Angel, which was selling as fast as they could be made. WDP remained out of the tournament promotions business until 2003, when Pure Promotiosn and WDP began promoting the National Professional Paintball League Super Seven World Series of paintball tournaments in the United States.
Owen Ronayne of WDP believes that the concept and style of play of Hyperball were extremely influential on the future of the game, sport and industry of paintball. We invited teams to play Hyperball to test the fields, and one of those teams was the Ton Tons. Laurent Hamet was one of the first people to play Hyperball, and he went away from that to develop Sup Air. For that reason, the impact of Hyperball is evident wherever you go today. Ronayne continued, Hyperball was great, but it was imperfect. You can't easily clean the fields and it would take a forty-foot truck to transport a field. We went to Toulouse the next year and saw the games played on Sup Air fields and we realized it was a better system. You can fit an entire field in the back of a van now.
Race in the American Catholic Imagination | Bishop George Murry, S.J.
Bishop George Murry, S.J., bishop of Youngstown, OH, has been appointed to chair the recently established Ad Hoc Committee on Racism of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. Bishop Murry delivered a public lecture here at Boston College entitled Race in the American Catholic Imagination.
Upon his appointment, Bishop Murry commented, For too long, the sin of racism has lived and thrived in our communities and even in some of our churches. For those who have been watching, even with passing interest, it should be plain to see why we need a concerted effort at this moment.”

SUMMARY
=======
The Southern United States, also known as the American South, Dixie, Dixieland, or simply the South, is a region of the United States of America. It is located between the Atlantic Ocean and the Western United States, with the Midwestern United States and Northeastern United States to its north and the Gulf of Mexico and Mexico to its south.
The South does not fully match the geographic south of the United States but is commonly defined as including the states that fought for the Confederate States of America in the American Civil War. The Deep South is fully located in the southeastern corner. Arizona and New Mexico, which are geographically in the southern part of the country, are rarely considered part, while West Virginia, which separated from Virginia in 1863, commonly is. Some scholars have proposed definitions of the South that do not coincide neatly with state boundaries. While the states of Delaware and Maryland, as well as the District of Columbia, permitted slavery prior to the start of the Civil War, they remained with the Union. Since the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, they became more culturally, economically, and politically aligned with the industrial Northern states, and are often identified as part of the Mid-Atlantic or Northeast by many residents, businesses, public institutions, and private organizations,but the United States Census Bureau puts them in the South.
Usually, the South is defined as including the southeastern and south-central United States. The region is known for its culture and history, having developed its own customs, musical styles, and cuisines, which have distinguished it in some ways from the rest of the United States. The Southern ethnic heritage is diverse and includes strong European (mostly English, Scottish, Scotch-Irish, Irish, German, French, and Spanish American), African, and some Native American components.Some other aspects of the historical and cultural development of the South have been influenced by the institution of slave labor on plantations in the Deep South to an extent seen nowhere else in the United States; the presence of a large proportion of African Americans in the population; support for the doctrine of states' rights, and the legacy of racial tension magnified by the Civil War and Reconstruction Era, as seen in thousands of lynchings (mostly from 1880 to 1930), the segregated system of separate schools and public facilities known as Jim Crow laws, that lasted until the 1960s, and the widespread use of poll taxes and other methods to frequently deny black people of the right to vote or hold office until the 1960s. Since the late 1960s, black people have held many offices in Southern states, especially in the coastal states of Virginia and South Carolina. Many black people have also been elected or appointed as mayors and police chiefs in the metropolises of Charlotte, Birmingham, Richmond, Columbia, Memphis, Houston, Atlanta, Jacksonville, and New Orleans, and serve in both the U.S. Congress and state legislatures.Historically, the South relied heavily on agriculture, and was highly rural until after 1945. It has since become more industrialized and urban and has attracted national and international migrants. The American South is now among the fastest-growing areas in the United States. Houston is the largest city in the Southern United States. Sociological research indicates that Southern collective identity stems from political, demographic, and cultural distinctiveness from the rest of the United States. The region contains almost all of the Bible Belt, an area of high Protestant church attendance (especially evangelical churches such as the Southern Baptist Convention) and predominantly conservative, religion-influenced politics. Indeed, studies have shown that Southerners are more conservative than non-Southerners in several areas, including religion, morality, international relations, and race relations. This is ...

SUMMARY
=======
Lynching is the practice of murder by a group by extrajudicial action. Lynchings in the United States rose in number after the American Civil War in the late 1800s, following the emancipation of slaves; they declined in the 1920s but have continued to take place into the 21st century. Most lynchings were of African-American men in the South, but women were also lynched, and white lynchings of blacks occurred in Midwestern and border states, especially during the 20th-century Great Migration of blacks out of the South. The purpose was to enforce white supremacy and intimidate blacks by racial terrorism. On a per capita basis lynchings were also common in California and the Old West, especially of Latinos, although they represented less than 10% of the national total. Native Americans and Asian Americans were also lynched. Other ethnicities (white, Finnish-American, Jewish, Irish, Italian-American) were occasionally lynched.
The stereotype of a lynching is a hanging, because hangings are what crowds of people saw, and are also easy to photograph. Some hangings were professionally photographed and sold as postcards, which were popular souvenirs in some parts of the U.S. Victims were also killed by mobs in a variety of other ways: shot repeatedly, burned alive, forced to jump off a bridge, dragged behind cars, and the like. Sometimes they were tortured as well, with body parts sometimes removed and sold as souvenirs. Occasionally lynchings were not fatal (see Lynching survivors in the United States). A mock lynching, putting the rope around the neck of someone suspected of concealing information, might be used to compel confessions.According to the Tuskegee Institute, 4,743 people were lynched between 1882 and 1968 in the United States, including 3,446 African Americans and 1,297 whites. More than 73 percent of lynchings in the post-Civil War period occurred in the Southern states. According to the Equal Justice Initiative, 4,084 African-Americans were lynched between 1877 and 1950 in the South.Lynchings were most frequent from 1890 to the 1920s, with a peak in 1892. Lynchings were often large mob actions, attended by hundreds or thousands of watchers, sometimes announced in advance in newspapers and in one instance with a special train. However, in the later 20th century lynchings became more secretive, and were conducted by smaller groups of people.
According to Michael Pfeifer, the prevalence of lynching in postbellum America reflects lack of confidence in the due process judicial system. He links the decline in lynching in the early twentieth century with the advent of the modern death penalty: legislators renovated the death penalty...out of direct concern for the alternative of mob violence. He also cites the modern, racialized excesses of u ...

SUMMARY
=======
Toledo () is a city in and the county seat of Lucas County, Ohio, United States. Toledo is in northwest Ohio, at the western end of Lake Erie bordering the state of Michigan. The city was founded in 1833 on the west bank of the Maumee River, and originally incorporated as part of Monroe County, Michigan Territory. It was re-founded in 1837, after conclusion of the Toledo War, when it was incorporated in Ohio.
After the 1845 completion of the Miami and Erie Canal, Toledo grew quickly; it also benefited from its position on the railway line between New York City and Chicago. The first of many glass manufacturers arrived in the 1880s, eventually earning Toledo its nickname: The Glass City. It has since become a city with an art community, auto assembly businesses, education, healthcare, and local sports teams.
The population of Toledo as of the 2010 Census was 287,208, making it the 71st-largest city in the United States. It is the fourth-most-populous city in the U.S. state of Ohio, after Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati. The Toledo metropolitan area had a 2010 population of 651,429, and was the sixth-largest metropolitan area in the state of Ohio, behind Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Dayton, and Akron.

Indeed, studies have shown that Southerners are more conservative than non-Southerners in several areas, including religion, morality, international relations, and race relations. This is evident in both the region's religious attendance figures and in the region's usually strong support for the Republican Party in political elections since the 1960s, and especially since the 1990s.Apart from its climate, the living experience in the South increasingly resembles the rest of the nation. The arrival of millions of Northerners (especially in major metropolitan areas and coastal areas) and millions of Hispanics has meant the introduction of cultural values and social norms not rooted in Southern traditions. Observers conclude that collective identity and Southern distinctiveness are thus declining, particularly when defined against an earlier South that was somehow more authentic, real, more unified and distinct. The process has worked both ways, however, with aspects of Southern culture spreading throughout a greater portion of the rest of the United States in a process termed Southernization.

SUMMARY
=======
In the United States a common definition of terrorism is the systematic or threatened use of violence to create a general climate of fear to intimidate a population or government and thereby effect political, religious, or ideological change. This article serves as a list and compilation of acts of terrorism, attempts of terrorism, and other such items pertaining to terrorist activities within the domestic borders of the United States by non-state actors or spies acting in the interests of or persons acting without approval of state actors.
According to a study based on the Global Terrorism Database, in 2017, 37 of 65 terrorist attacks in the United States were tied to right wing extremism, 11 attacks were tied to left wing extremism and 7 attacks were tied to Islamic extremism.
