A schanze is, according to the specialist terminology of German fortification construction, an independent fieldwork, used in the construction of temporary field fortifications. The word is German and has no direct English equivalent, although the word sconce is derived from Dutch schans, cognate to the German word. In everyday German speech, however, it is commonplace to refer to permanent fortifications as schanzen, because in many places in times of war, fieldworks that were only temporarily thrown up were turned into permanent fortifications; the word Schanze derives from the fact that, during sieges in the Late Middle Ages, temporary defensive positions had been built out of gabions, known in German as Schanzkörbe. Such schanzen often consisted of earthen ramparts; as a result, in the 16th century, the verb schanzen became associated with earthworks of all kinds. In modern German military use, schanzen is still used to mean the construction of smaller earthworks of fire trenches. From this derived usage comes the phrase sich verschanzen, "to entrench oneself" in yet another derivative sense.

As a rule a schanze is an independent fortified work. To block a valley or a pass, however, a line of adjacent schanzen could be erected, not infrequently connected by a low rampart and ditch. In this case it is referred to as a verschanzte Linie – a fortified line of schanzen. If such a defensive line enclosed an area on all sides, it was described as a verschanztes Lager – a fortified position, it was not uncommon in the 17th and 18th centuries for weaker armies to construct such works in order to protect themselves from a stronger foe. During sieges fortified lines of schanzen were used as lines of contravallation or circumvallation. Depending on the layout, a distinction is made between "open" and "closed" schanzen; the closed type are further divided into redoubts, that only have outward-facing angles, "star schanzen" with alternating inward and outward facing corners. In open schanzen, which may take the shape of a flèche, half-redoubt, hornwork or more complex designs, the gorge is open, i.e. the side where the army was encamped or on which their own defences lay, was unfortified.

There is a extensive system of schanzen in the Black Forest, elements of which have survived. See Baroque fortifications in the Black Forest.

Alaska is a state located in the northwest extremity of the North American West Coast, just across the Bering Strait from Asia. An exclave of the U. S. it borders the Canadian province of British Columbia and territory of Yukon to the east and southeast has a maritime border with Russia's Chukotka Autonomous Okrug to the west. To the north are the Chukchi and Beaufort seas of the Arctic Ocean, while the Pacific Ocean lies to the south and southwest. Alaska is the largest U. S. state by the seventh largest subnational division in the world. It is the third least populous and the most sparsely populated state, but by far the continent's most populous territory located north of the 60th parallel, with an estimated population of 738,432 as 2015—more than quadruple the combined populations of Northern Canada and Greenland. Half of Alaska's residents live within the Anchorage metropolitan area; the state capital of Juneau is the second largest city in the United States by area, comprising more territory than the states of Rhode Island and Delaware.

Alaska was occupied by various indigenous peoples for thousands of years before the arrival of Europeans. The state is considered the entry point for the settlement of North America by way of the Bering land bridge; the Russians were the first non-native people to settle the area beginning in the 18th century establishing the colony of Alaska that spanned most of the current state. The expense and difficulty of maintaining this distant possession prompted its sale to the U. S. in 1867 for $7.2 million, or two cents per acre. The area went through several administrative changes before becoming organized as a territory on May 11, 1912, it was admitted as the 49th state of the U. S. on January 3, 1959. While it has one of the smallest state economies in the country, Alaska's per capita income is among the highest, owing to a diversified economy dominated by fishing, natural gas, oil, all of which it has in abundance. United States armed forces bases and tourism are a significant part of the economy.

Alaska's indigenous population is proportionally the highest of any U. S. state, at over 15 percent. Close to two dozen native languages are spoken, Alaskan Natives exercise considerable influence in local and state politics; the name "Alaska" was introduced in the Russian colonial period when it was used to refer to the Alaska Peninsula. It was derived from an Aleut-language idiom, it means object to which the action of the sea is directed. Alaska is the northernmost and westernmost state in the United States and has the most easterly longitude in the United States because the Aleutian Islands extend into the Eastern Hemisphere. Alaska is the only non-contiguous U. S. state on continental North America. It is technically part of the continental U. S. but is sometimes not included in colloquial use. S. called "the Lower 48". The capital city, Juneau, is situated on the mainland of the North American continent but is not connected by road to the rest of the North American highway system; the state is bordered by Canada's Yukon and British Columbia to the east, the Gulf of Alaska and the Pacific Ocean to the south and southwest, the Bering Sea, Bering Strait, Chukchi Sea to the west and the Arctic Ocean to the north.

Alaska's territorial waters touch Russia's territorial waters in the Bering Strait, as the Russian Big Diomede Island and Alaskan Little Diomede Island are only 3 miles apart. Alaska has a longer coastline than all the other U. S. states combined. Alaska is the largest state in the United States by total area. At 663,268 square miles it is more than twice the size of Texas and—counting territorial waters—larger than Texas and Montana combined. There are no defined borders demarcating the various regions of Alaska, but there are six accepted regions: The most populous region of Alaska, containing Anchorage, the Matanuska-Susitna Valley and the Kenai Peninsula. Rural unpopulated areas south of the Alaska Range and west of the Wrangell Mountains fall within the definition of South Central, as do the Prince William Sound area and the communities of Cordova and Valdez. Referred to as the Panhandle or Inside Passage, this is the region of Alaska closest to the rest of the United States; as such, this was where most of the initial non-indigenous settlement occurred in the years following the Alaska Purchase.

The region is dominated by the Alexander Archipelago as well as the Tongass National Forest, the largest national forest in the United States. It contains the state capital Juneau, the former capital Sitka, Ketchikan, at one time Alaska's largest city; the Alaska Marine Highway provides a vital surface transportation link throughout the area, as only three communities enjoy direct connections to the contiguous North American road system. Designated in 1963; the Interior is the largest region of Alaska. Fairbanks is the only large city in the region. Denali National Park and Preserve is located here. Denali is the highest mountain in North America. Southwest Alaska is a sparsely inhabited region stretching some 500 miles inland from the Bering Sea. Most of the population lives along the

Let's Tap is a video game developed by Yuji Naka's studio Prope and published by Sega for the Wii console. Along with Let's Catch, Let's Tap was the first game from Prope to be announced. Owners of Let's Tap can unlock content in Let's Catch; the game was released as five individual applications for iOS. Let's Tap consists of a number of minigames that requires the player to tap a flat surface with their hands to play; the game requires the player to set the Wii Remote face-side down on a flat, stable surface, with the accelerometer picking up their vibrations as they tap the surface to move an on-screen character in a race, inflate a balloon, create ripples in a pool of water or paint swirls on a canvas. In a video released by Sega the player is shown resting the Wii Remote on an empty box used to package the Wii console. In Japan and Europe Sega released the game with two foldout cardboard boxes that players are able to use as a tapping surface, but these are not included in the North American package.

The game features the following minigames: Tap Runner: Up to four players compete in a side scrolling race along an obstacle course where they must jump over chasms, climb up ramps and edge along tightropes, in addition to completing mini challenges such as inflating a balloon the fastest. The game is controlled with the speed of taps, with rhythmic tapping making the player jog, faster taps to run and a hard tap to jump. Rhythm Tap: Players tap in time to a moving timeline of musical beats. Silent Blocks: Players must pull away blocks that make up an unstable tower by tapping. A puzzle mode variation sees players making stacks of three or more matching colored blocks in order to make them disappear.
