Draft:Monte Cavallo (Bellunes Alps) | AfC submission | The Monte Cavallo (or Cimon del Cavallo) is a mountain in the Bellunes Alps that reaches 2,251 m a.s.l., belonging to the Monte Cavallo-Col Nudo group (located slightly further north), which in turn is part of the : situated behind , it rises over the Venetian plain, with a prominence exceeding 350 meters, making it visible from both Venice and the Adriatic coast on clear days. |

Draft:Monte Cavallo (Bellunes Alps) | Geography | Geography
It is a vast and articulated massif, composed of various peaks, among which ridges and saddles are interspersed: starting from the northeast and describing a counterclockwise arc, one can identify the Cimon dei Furlani (2,183 m a.s.l.), which through Forcella dei Furlani leads to Cima Manera (the highest peak of the group, 2,251 m a.s.l.), from which the in Val di Piera is clearly visible, on the Tambre side of the mountain; then to the south, the ridge describes the Forcella del Cavallo, located between Manera and the Cimon di Palantina (2,162 m a.s.l.), from which a shoulder branches off toward the Alpago and Casera Palantina (southeast) and a ridge that, marked by the Forcella Colombera, leads to Monte Colombera (2,066 m a.s.l.).
From Colombera, one can either follow the to the last peak, Monte Tremol (2,007 m a.s.l.), or descend to the Forcella di Palantina Alta and, lower down, to Forcella "La Palantina". Between Monte Tremol and Forcella "La Palantina", in Val di Sass, lies the highest facility of the Piancavallo ski resort, managed by the pararegional company Promotour, and the ultra-modern Val di Sass refuge, which is also the arrival station of the "Tremol 2" chairlift. To the west, in eastern Veneto territory, lies the . |

The earliest recognized settlement in the area dates back to the end of the last Ice Age, when the entire massif was covered by 100-200 m of ice, except for Col delle Laste: with the melting of the glaciers, sediments like loess spread, corresponding to the prehistoric Piancavallo deposit, one of the oldest settlements in Western Friuli. This is based on artifacts uncovered during the construction of the ski resort in the 1970s.
These discoveries were followed by an expedition from the Institute of Geology and Paleontology of the University of Ferrara, which between 1972 and 1973 conducted systematic research to find potential human settlements, focusing on flat areas (considered favorable for human habitation): these investigations unearthed prehistoric lithic artifacts, charcoal, ochre fragments, tools, and ceramics. These suggest a Upper Paleolithic settlement (40,000-10,000 years ago), likely seasonal, repeatedly used for hunting. Other artifacts, believed to be from the Bronze Age, were found along the southeastern slopes of Monte Saùc, about 1 km from Casera Saùc, at an elevation of 900 meters a.s.l. |

Before attracting the attention of local mountaineers, Piancavallo was inhabited by loggers, herdsmen, and hunters. The first refuge was the Policreti, inaugurated on August 2, 1925, originally a casera of the Policreti family from Aviano, made available to the CAI of Pordenone in November 1924. The structure, converted into an alpine refuge, was located at Col delle Lastre, in the Collalto area. During World War II, the shelter was burned by the Germans on September 9, 1944. The reference point for hikers in the post-war period was the Piancavallo refuge, built on the plateau starting in 1948 by the CAI (with the support of various sponsors); the construction was completed in 1956, also thanks to the creation of a drivable road to the castaldia, which greatly facilitated the work. The refuge was handed over to Promotour after the development of the tourism hub in the 1980s and is now the "Sport Hotel". |
Draft:Monte Cavallo (Bellunes Alps) | Toponym and legends | Toponym and legends
The name does not, as it might seem, refer to the homonymous animal; rather, it derives from the Celtic Keap-al ("high peak"), since it is a mountain clearly observable from most of the Venetian plain, which has evidently inspired the populations living in the plain since ancient times. |

As mentioned, Monte Cavallo was first conquered in 1726 by two botanists: and Domenico Pietro Stefanelli. Chronicles describe how they first headed to Aviano; then, riding mules, they reached a casera at the foot of the mountain, where they spent time searching for plant species and exploring the area. The ascent is described as taking place through rugged terrain, often crawling, passing "on the outer side of the mountain," to reach the summit after - they write - 7 miles. In any case, the account of the ascent focuses on the botanical aspect, without considering the mountaineering aspect, which was not yet recognized at the time. |

In 1969, the Aviano subsection of the CAI of Pordenone decided to equip its mountains with a route that, following the ridge line, connects all five main peaks of the Cavallo group. This is a highly scenic route but requires caution due to several exposed passages and grassy slopes that can be very dangerous and slippery. The counterclockwise direction of the route is recommended to avoid descending the more delicate sections. The name refers to the swifts, a species very common in these areas. The route is completely devoid of water points and is not recommended in the presence of snow (June-October is the best period). |

thumb|The Alpago region, west of the mountain group, in Veneto territory
The entire mountain group is highly suitable for ski mountaineering, but the first records are recent, as this is a decidedly modern way of tackling winter mountains, quite different from the adventures of the few who, with rudimentary equipment, managed to frequent this snow-covered environment in the past. The first evidence of this activity comes from an article published in the Triveneto magazine "Le Alpi Venete" in 1969 by Sergio Fradeloni and Silviano Zucchiatti, describing some routes.
The first systematic treatment consists of 33 routes published by Sergio Fradeloni in the guide "Dolomiti Orientali - Vol.II" by A. and C. Berti (1982) among the volumes of the CAI-TCI "Guida dei Monti d’Italia" series. The most comprehensive collection was published in 1986 by S. Fradeloni, U. Baccini, and M. de Benedet, covering 50 different routes.
The widespread popularity of competitive ski mountaineering has led to the development (thanks to the availability of the Promotour agency) of dedicated routes for ski mountaineers, ensuring a safe ascent path for those needing to train or simply for those who prefer to experience the winter environment in a more ecological and natural way, while still staying close to artificial facilities. |
Draft:Monte Cavallo (Bellunes Alps) | Skyrunning | Skyrunning
Since 2007, the Montanaia Racing sports group has been organizing and promoting a skyrunning competition called Skyrace del Monte Cavallo that brings about 250 athletes each year to circumnavigate the mountain group, starting and finishing at Piancavallo: the route descends toward the Tornidor spring, then ascends the entire Val Grande to the homonymous saddle; skirting the upper part of Val Sperlonga, it reaches below Cima Lasté, up to the Semenza refuge; from there, a long descent leads to Alpago at Pian delle Laste; the route continues with an ascent to the lower Palantina saddle, then through Monte Tremol to Val Sughet on the Gerometta trail, which leads back to Piancavallo with a technical descent.
The competition has seen progressive growth over the years, eventually being included in prestigious circuits such as the Italian Sky Series or La Sportiva Gore-Tex Mountain Running Cup. |

Draft:Preobrazhenka, Irkutsk Oblast | Geology | Geology
The Preobrazhenka layer that the village sits on top of represents a significant geological formation within the Danilovo horizon of the Vendian system in the southeastern Siberian Platform. Dating to the Late Vendian period (approximately 540-535 million years ago), it consists primarily of dolomitic rocks that overlie the Tira horizon, often following a substantial pre-Danilovo break in sedimentation that lasted 10-20 million years. The Preobrazhenka layer (sometimes referred to as "layer 2" in stratigraphic studies) is particularly notable as an oil and gas-bearing stratum in the pre-Lena-Nepa and Erbogachen zones of the Nepa-Botuoba oil and gas region. Within the regional stratigraphic sequence, it appears after the Il'bokich layer and represents the beginning of the Danilovo horizon in sections where earlier layers are absent, particularly in the southern part of the Nepa-Botuoba and most sections of the Angara-Lena oil and gas regions. |

Draft:Preobrazhenka, Irkutsk Oblast | History | History
In a genetic report, ancient DNA discovered in Preobrazhenka hint that the area has been populated since at least 991BC, but the first official documentation of the village dates back to the 17th century when it was founded by settlers as a small settlement, before gradually developing and growing. In the 19th century, Preobrazhenka became an important center for trade and exchange of goods between local residents and merchants from other regions of Russia. Fairs and bazaars were held there selling food, household items, and other goods.
In 1880, when a census was carried out confirming Preobrazhenka had 17 households, consisting of 57 males and 53 females. The most common surnames of the settlers were "Zyrianov" and "Iuriev" at the time.
Preobrazhenka was the seat of now-defunct Preobrazhensky District from 1926 to 1929, but in 1930, Preobrazhensky District was incorporated into newly formed Evenki National Raion of Katanga. During World War II, a significant number of male residents living in Preobrazhenka were conscripted to fight Nazi Germany forces. After World War II, development continued in the village, including construction of hospitals, schools, houses and other infrastructure (e.g. a post office). In the 1960s, industrial development began, which led to an increase in population size for the village and a reported increase in quality of life. As of 2024, Preobrazhenka residents still report low pollution levels and occasional tourists.
In 2013, an Angara Airlines Mil Mi-8 helicopter carrying nine emergency rescue crew working for the regional government, as well as two tonnes of explosives, took off from the village and crashed six kilometers from Preobrazhenka - originally bound for a location along the Nizhnyaya Tunguska river to break up ice blocking it, before it stopped responding. At the time, the Preobrazhenka village had been in a state of emergency as water level rose almost nine metres (30 feet) after the ice blocked the water flow and 125 homes were flooded. The wreckage was discovered around 4 1/2 hours after the aircraft disappeared from the radar. All nine people on board died.
In 2015, a radiocarbon dating study was carried out by Irkutsk State University in a cemetery in Preobrazhenka analyzing the marine reservoir effect that originated from the cemetery's presence alongside the Nizhnyaya Tunguska river.
The village is subject to very frequent flooding:
In 2015, a flood from the Nizhnyaya Tunguska River submerged 200 houses underwater. 250 residents were placed in temporary tent camps away from the flood zone - fed 540 loaves of bread delivered on two flights and given well water to drink. The flood situation was resolved by in two days (electricity and heating supply restored, school re-opened) by 87 rescue workers, needing a rescue helicopter.
In 2019, the village experienced significant flooding when an ice jam on the river caused a sharp rise in water levels. The flooding affected 15 houses (home to 34 residents) and 38 garden plots. The Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations (EMERCOM) deployed rescuers via helicopter to assist residents by moving equipment, furniture, and firewood to higher locations, while some affected residents were temporarily accommodated with relatives. Authorities conducted blasting operations to destroy the ice jam, with Deputy Head Valery Shantz of the EMERCOM's Irkutsk Region office noting that water levels were expected to stabilize due to decreasing levels upstream at Podvoloshino and Nepa. A state of emergency was declared for the Katanga region, with emergency supplies of food, water, and essential items stocked in the settlement, and satellite phone communication established with residents.https://snews.ru/news/selo-preobrazhenka-katangskogo-rayona-zatopilo
In 2023, another flood from the river occurred in Preobrazhenka, where one woman died, seven people were injured and sent to the nearest medical facility by Ministry of Emergency Situations helicopter, and 109 households were destroyed.
In 2024, yet another flood occurred. 16 adults and 13 children were evacuated from the village by the day after the flood - seven of these people (three children) were temporarily housed in accommodation centers in Yerbogachen, and the rest were sent to stay with their relatives. Rescuers noted that the day before, on May 2, blasting operations were carried out on Nizhnyaya Tunguska to weaken the ice fields. The Ministry of Emergency Situations did not explain why they did not produce a positive result.
Another flood almost occurred in 2025 because of another ice jam but was prevented by EMERCOM workers before any significant rise in sea level could happen. The EMERCOM workers pre-evacuated 37 people from the village a week before the flood anyway. The area where the ice jams occur has now been reinforced by twelve hydrological stations to retroactively detect and prevent any further potential floods.
The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars labelled Preobrazhenka a 'historic site' for monuments present there (elaborated in the next section). |

Stephen Apkon | short description | Stephen Apkon is founder of the Jacob Burns Film Center, author of the book The Age of the Image, and has directed two films, Disturbing the Peace (2016) and There is Another Way (2025), which focus on members of Combatants for Peace. |
Stephen Apkon | Early life and career | Early life and career
Apkon is a native of Framingham, Massachusetts. He has an MBA from the Harvard Business School and worked as an investment banker at Goldman Sachs. He left Wall Street to pursue his passion for film. In 1993, he and his family relocated from Manhattan to Pleasantville, New York, and he noticed that there was a desire for a diverse film experience in Westchester instead of having to travel into New York City. |
Stephen Apkon | Jacob Burns Film Center | Jacob Burns Film Center
He founded the Jacob Burns Film Center in 2000, not only to bring a venue for film viewing and discussion to Westchester but also to create a family-oriented, community-based space, that emphasized educational programming and visual literacy education. Seeing a disconnect between his children's classroom and the world they were growing up in, he became drawn to digital literacy. He led the organization from 2001-2013. |
Stephen Apkon | The Age of the Image | The Age of the Image
In 2013, Apkon published The Age of the Image: Redefining Literacy in a World of Screens. The book traces the evolution of visual literacy from cave paintings to YouTube, offering both a personal perspective and a foundation suitable as a textbook for an introductory college course. He explores the idea that images and film are the most powerful and engaging forms of text people have developed. The book covers brain science related to vision, the persuasive use of imagery in advertising, and the narrative potential of visuals, drawing a parallel between the grammar of film and the grammar of written language.
A core message of the book is the need for visual literacy in education. This literacy is rooted in decoding non-verbal messages. Apkon notes that as the culture becomes more global, communication continues to rely on words, but increasingly those words are paired with powerful visuals, and it's the images that linger in our memory. He points out that images have long shaped public perception, often more than facts, citing the 1960 Kennedy-Nixon debates, where Nixon's disheveled appearance overshadowed his performance, while Kennedy tapped into a deeper, emotional response in viewers. The book also highlights the educational programs at the Jacob Burns Film Center, which teach teenagers to interpret and create visual stories. Apkon argues that one's understanding of literacy must evolve to match how people now learn and communicate—through screens and images as much as or more than traditional books. |

In 2013, Apkon resigned as executive director of the Jacob Burns Film Center to lead a new media production company, Reconsider, of which he is executive director. He began working on a documentary about Israeli soldiers and Palestinian militants who came together to pursue nonviolent solutions to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, who were part of an organization called Combatants for Peace.
Apkon first visited Israel in 1976 as a 12-year-old. Over the years, his interest with the country's complex challenges deepened, ultimately shaping his path as a documentary filmmaker. Drawn to the mission of Combatants for Peace, Apkon partnered with co-director Andrew Young to document their story. Over nearly three years, they interviewed former Israeli soldiers from elite military units and Palestinian ex-combatants who had spent years in prison. The resulting film was Disturbing the Peace which premiered in 2016. The documentary was a New York Times critic's pick, and received the Ebert Humanitarian Award, the Brizzolara Family Foundation Award for a Film of Conflict and Resolution at the Hamptons International Film Festival, and won both the Audience Award and the Founders Award for Best Foreign Documentary at the Traverse City Film Festival.
In 2025 Apkon directed There is Another Way which also follows Combatants for Peace, examining their struggles after the violence of October 7, 2023 and the war in Gaza. The film highlights grief, rage, and ongoing joint activism of CfP members. He was particularly moved by young people in the Freedom School, founded by CfP, a program teaching nonviolence and political awareness to Israelis and Palestinians. Apkon said filming in the West Bank was difficult witnessing settler violence and IDF activity, but meaningful seeing Israelis standing in solidarity with Palestinians.
Stressing the need for honest dialogue, protest, and storytelling, he sees his films as starting points for crucial conversations—tools to help re-humanize those on both sides and to amplify voices working toward peace, even in the face of entrenched violence and extremism. |

Draft:Tear Ring Saga Series: Berwick Saga: Lazberia Chronicle Chapter 174 | Gameplay | Gameplay
Berwick Saga is a tactical RPG using a hexagon-based grid. Unit activation does not follow the phase system seen in many games of the genre like the Fire Emblem series, nor does it use the speed stat of units to determine when and how often they may take their turns as in games like Shining Force. Instead the activation of units is based on the number of units remaining in each faction's army, for example if the enemy has twice as many units as the player, the enemy will be able to move two units every time the player moves one. The game is divided into turns, which end when all units have activated. The player is always given the first activation in each turn regardless of the ratio of units.
The game has over 40 maps, spanning 15 chapters of story. In each map, there is a main objective that ranges from defeating all the enemy units, to capturing or defending a key location, to escaping from pursuing enemy forces. Often the player is given a strict time limit of turns to complete the map by.
Separate from the tactical gameplay is the game's central menu in the city of Navaron, where the player may buy supplies, recruit mercenaries into their army, or acquire side quests from NPCs. |

The game takes place in the continent of Lazberia, which has been locked in an endless war between two major military powers: the Berwick League and the Raze Empire. At the start of the game, the Berwick League has lost much of its territory, including its capital Valemtine, to an Imperial campaign following a disastrous battle that saw the death of Mordias IV, the king of Veria, the foremost of the League's 24 member countries. The player takes control of Reese, the son of a war hero and nobleman from the tiny Berwick League member country Sinon, as he answers the call of Mordias' son Volcens, who has retreated far from the front lines to the duchy of Narvia and its fortified city, Navaron. |

Berwick Saga is markedly different from its predecessor Tear Ring Saga. In an interview posted on his blog series creator Shouzou Kaga recalls that Tear Ring Saga placed too much emphasis on the story, and the game balance and strategy aspects were sacrificed as a result. Kaga was not credited for the game in any way, though his involvement is evident as his later games in the Vestaria Saga series use a map that can be found in the files for Berwick Saga. |
