Okrent began publishing his poetry in the mid-2000’s, and published his first book, This Costly Season, in 2022 (Arrowsmith Press). According to poet Edward Hirsch, “John Okrent’s well-crafted crown of sonnets about being a doctor during the pandemic, our pandemic, is unexpected and necessary, compulsively readable, haunting and hallucinatory. There is something both very ancient and very new about these eloquent, interlocking poems of worry, illness, supplication, and praise.” One of the sonnets was anthologized by editor Alice Quinn in Together in a Sudden Strangeness (Knopf, 2021). The Poets’ Theatre of Boston adapted This Costly Season for the stage; it was presented in Boston and Cambridge in 2025.
In 2020, Okrent’s poem “Barrow’s Goldeneye” won the Arkansas International Prize. The following year, his “Hold Tight” won the Jeff Marks Memorial Poetry Prize, judged by Pulitzer Prize-winner Carl Phillips. In 2024, he won the Poetry International Prize, judged by Rick Barot, for “Scrub Pine.” Recent poems have been published in the Yale Review, the Missouri Review, the Poetry Review (U.K.), and Ploughshares. |

Bellatrix-class patrol ship | Short description | The ''Bellatrix class''' was a class of three patrol boats built by the Rijkswerk in Amsterdam for service with the Government Navy. The class consisted of HNLMS Bellatrix, HNLMS Canopus and HNLMS Deneb.Mark, Chris (1997). Schepen van de Koninklijke Marine in W.O. II. Alkmaar: De Alk. ISBN 978-90-6013-522-8.

Service history
The Bellatrix class were originally constructed as patrol ships for the Government Navy in the Dutch East Indies. Upon the outbreak of the Second World War, these ships were militarized and commissioned into the Royal Netherlands Navy. HNLMS Bellatrix and HNLMS Canopus had their machine guns replaced by a single 7.5 cm cannon during this militarization.Bellatrix patrolled around Java and Bali until the fall of Java forced her crew to scuttle her due to being unable to escape. Canopus was stationed as patrol ship in Dutch Timor and took partin in the Allied invasion of Portuguese Timor together with HNLMS Soerabaya. Canopus transported negotiation officers in an effort to get Portuguese Timor to accept the Allied troops, however, the set time limit passed without answer causing Soerabaya to move in and start debarking troops while threatening to use its 12-inch guns if challenged.Canopus continued to serve as a patrol ship and seaplane tender around the island of Timor until the Japanese landed and its defences became impossible. Canopus then retreated to Tjilatjap. On 5 March 1942 Canopus was hit by Japanese bomber aircraft and sank. HNLMS Deneb did not receive a 7.5 cm gun and retained two 3.7 cm machine guns which were unable to provide anti-aircraft fire. This contributed to her demise while patrolling around Sumatra on 4 February 1942 when she encountered seven Japanese twin-engine bombers. Suffering ten bomb hits, the ship sank with the loss of three lives and twenty heavily wounded crewmembers. |

Albert Henry Bell | Short description | Albert Henry Bell was an English amateur footballer who played as a right-back for Worthing and England Amateurs in the early 20th century. He was a member of British squad that participated in the football tournament of the 1908 Summer Olympics, but he did not play in any matches. He later served as president of Worthing and as a vice-president of the Surrey County FA. |
Albert Henry Bell | Career | Career
During the early stages of his career, which was all spent playing as an amateur right-back at non-League club Worthing, Bell was unable to earn a single cap for England Amateurs due to the presence of Birmingham's Watty Corbett, one of England's best right-backs who was at the peak of his career at the time.
Having represented the Surrey county in an international trial match at Chelsea in February 1908, Bell was selected as a member of Great Britain's 18-man squad that participated in the football tournament of the 1908 Summer Olympics in London, but Corbett once again blocked him from playing in any matches as the team won gold.
In the 1909 international trial at Birmingham, Bell captained the South against the North, and remained an unused substitute against Germany in March 1909. The following month, on 12 April, he took advantage of Corbett's absence to finally make his international debut for England Amateurs, in a friendly match against the Netherlands, keeping a clean-sheet in a 4–0 win. Having earned four of his five international caps within 40 days, from 12 April until 22 May 1909, he then had to wait for nearly a year for his fifth cap in a 2–2 draw with Belgium on 26 March 1910. After his match against France on 22 May, which ended in a resounding 11–0 victory, the journalists of the French newspaper L'Auto (the forerunner of L'Équipe) stated that "Bell got caught out a couple of times, but was still a dangerous back".
On 1 November 1913, Bell played for the so-called English Wanderers in a friendly against Lions des Flandres, a regional scratch team representing Northern France, helping his side to a 1–4 win. He captained the Surrey county side for seven seasons, from 1908 until the outbreak of World War I in 1914. |

Caporetto, 1917 | Short description | Caporetto, 1917, subtitled "Catastrophe for Italy", is a board wargame published by Simulations Publications Inc. (SPI) in 1978 that simulates the Battle of Caporetto. The game was part of SPI's "quadrigame" (four small games using the same set of rules) The Great War in the East. |
Caporetto, 1917 | Background | Background
During the spring and summer of 1917, Italian troops on the Austrian front had been part of eleven offensives in the Isonzo River area. Although the eleventh offensive had been moderately successful, it had brought both sides to the breaking point. Charles I of Austria asked Kaiser Wilhem II of Germany for aid, and the Germans moved nine divisions to the Isonzo area, including the stosstruppen (stormtroopers) that the Germans would soon use with devastating effect on the Western Front during Operation Michael. The Germans also provided expertise about where and when to use poison gas. On 24 October 1917, behind large clouds of poison gas, the combined Austrian and German forces smashed through the Italian lines, sending survivors stumbling back towards the safety of the Piave River. |
Caporetto, 1917 | Description | Description
Caporetto, 1917 is a wargame for two players in which one controls the Italians, and the other controls the Central Powers forces. |
Caporetto, 1917 | Gameplay | Gameplay
The 17" x 22" hex grid map, which shows the Italian/Austrian front in north-eastern Italy, is scaled at per hex. Two hundred die-cut counters represent the various military units in the battle.
The game uses the same alternating "I Go, You Go" system that SPI developed for the wargame Tanneberg where one player moves and then fires, followed by the other player. In addition, all units must be supplied and under command in order to move and attack. The game also puts emphasis on tactical capabilities — every unit has a rating that affects all of their actions. One turn represents 48 hours of the battle. |
Caporetto, 1917 | Supply | Supply
There are three sources of supply: a friendly map corner, a section of friendly railway connected to the rest of the network, or a depot that itself lays out a line that ensures adequate supplies. In addition, to be supplied a unit must also be within a certain number of hexes to the supply source. Units that are not supplied have their movement and strength halved and risk losing half of their soldiers. |
Caporetto, 1917 | Command | Command
Each headquarters (HQ) has a command radius and a command capacity. Any units outside of this radius cannot move; of the units within the radius, the HQ can only move a number of units equal to its command capacity. |
Caporetto, 1917 | Victory conditions | Victory conditions
The Central Powers player gets Victory Points for crossing the Piave River, capturing fortresses, and destroying Italian corps or divisions. The Italian player earns points for being across the Piave River, for eliminating stosstruppe units and taking Triest or Trent. The player with the most points at the end of the game is the winner. |
Caporetto, 1917 | Publication history | Publication history
In 1975, SPI published its first quadrigame, Blue & Gray. This proved to be popular, and SPI immediately produced further quadrigames. In 1978, SPI released The Great War in the East, and it proved popular, immediately rising to #8 on SPI's Top Ten Bestseller List, and remaining on the list for the next eight months. Each of the four games, including Caporetto, 1917, was also released as an individual "folio" game, packaged in an LP-style cardstock folder.
In 1988, a Japanese-language translation of the game was published in Issue 8 (August 1988) of the Japanese wargaming magazine Tactics. |
Caporetto, 1917 | Reception | Reception
In Issue 37 of the British wargaming magazine Perfidious Albion, Charles Vasey and Geoffrey Barnard discussed the game. Vasey compared this game to its predecessor Tannenberg and commented, "This game is rather more open." However Vasey was disappointed in the Victory Point rules, saying, "They are so silly they ruin the game." Barnard replied, "The design seems to follow the school of game design that says the player has to do better than the historical outcome in order to win, hence the onus on the Austrians to cross the Piave."
In Issue 23 of the British wargaming magazine Phoenix, Andrew McGee felt that SPI had missed some opportunities, wishing that there had been some non-historical "what if?" scenarios included. McGee also felt that the game failed to adequately demonstrate how the historical result was achieved, saying, "the game gives no understanding of why things happened as they did." Despite this, McGee admitted, "This is the cleanest of the games [in the quadrigame] from the rules point of view, but does little to explain why Caporetto happened as it did." McGee concluded, "The system is a sound vessel, but the designers seem to have forgotten to fill it."
Rick Mataka, writing in Craft, Model, and Hobby Industry Magazine, commented, "This is not the standard trench warfare battle that is often thought of [in World War I wargames]. Movement and envelopment are key factors to the victor of this historical battle." Mataka warned that the game was "Of intermediate complexity" and was not suitable for "those with limited boardgaming experience."
In Issue 3 of the French games magazine Casus Belli, Frédéric Armand noted the lack of historical imperative, saying, "Caporetto is the clearest of the four games [included in the quadrigame] from a rules perspective, but hardly explains why [the Battle of] Caporetto was such a disaster for Italy." Armand concluded, "There's no doubt that this game fills a void. The game system is quite simple; the timescale, 2 days per turn, allows for the coverage of entire campaigns without sacrificing playability. But there are two criticisms: it's possible to win using a non-historical strategy; and, it does not explain at any point why or how these historical events unfolded as they did. Clarifications on certain phases, on the reasons for certain decisions, would have been highly appreciated."
In Issue 16 of Paper Wars, Robert Lindsay commented, "The tactical competence rating runs through all the rules and show the strengths of each army in general and the superior features of the German army in particular."
In a retrospective review in Issue 6 of Simulacrum, Brandon Einhorn gave this game a grade of "B", saying, "While the package is good, it's not great. The game can have a static and bloody feel to it, which may be realistic, but not as much fun as a game of maneuver." |

California Housing and Homelessness Agency | The | The California Housing and Homelessness Agency (CHHA) is a proposed cabinet-level agency of the California state government which would be tasked with implementing state policies on housing and homelessness. |
California Housing and Homelessness Agency | Background | Background
In 2025, as part of the reorganization of the BCSH within the budget, Governor Gavin Newsom proposed spinning off the California Department of Housing and Community Development, along with the California Interagency Council on Homelessness, California Housing Finance Agency and the Civil Rights Department, into a separate cabinet-level superagency, the California Housing and Homelessness Agency (CHHA), as well as the creation of a Housing Development and Finance Committee (HDFC) within the new agency to streamline policies on affordable multifamily housing funds. The proposal would also rename the remaining agency as the Business and Consumer Services Agency (BCSA), and designate secretaries for both agencies. The spinoff of the CHHA is motivated in part to the ongoing California housing shortage, as well as the growth of enforcement powers attributed to the HCD since 2017.
Newsom submitted his proposal to the Little Hoover Commission on April 4, 2025. The proposal was submitted to the 2025 session of the Legislature as part of Newsom's budget on May 14, 2025, and currently awaits the commission's report on the reorganization proposal. |

The Terner Center for Housing and Innovation at the University of California, Berkeley assessed the proposal as a potential improvement over the fragmentation and bureaucracy of housing finance in the state government, but viewed the exclusion of two tax credit award agencies (the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC) and California Debt Limit Allocation Committee (CDLAC)) from the proposal as a potential impediment. |
