Pente is a strategy board game for two or more players, created in 1977 by Gary Gabrel, a dishwasher at Hideaway Pizza, in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Customers played Pente at Hideaway Pizza on checkerboard tablecloths while waiting for their orders to arrive. Thirty years patrons are still playing Pente at Hideaway Pizza, although now with roll-up Pente boards. Pente is based on the Japanese game ninuki-renju, a variant of renju or gomoku, played on a Go board of 19x19 intersections with white and black stones. Like ninuki-renju, Pente allows captures. In the nineteenth century, gomoku was introduced to Britain where it was known as "Go Bang". Pente is a registered trademark of Hasbro for strategy game equipment. Pente is the number five in Greek. Hasbro ceased distribution of Pente in 1993, it licensed the name to Winning Moves, a classic games publisher that resurrected the game in 2004. The 2004 version includes 4 extra stones, called power stones, that can be played in the Pente Plus version; the players alternate in placing stones of their color on free intersections, with White always assuming the opening move.

The players aim to align five stones of the same color in horizontal or diagonal lines. Captures are obtained by flanking pairs of an opponent's stones in any same direction. Captures must consist of two stones. For example, if the stones are X O O _ and you place your stone so it becomes X O O X your opponent's stones are removed from the board, leaving X _ _ X. A stone may be placed on any empty intersection if it forms a pair between two enemy stones. For example, if the stones are X O _ X you may place your stone so it becomes X O O X. Your stones are NOT captured in this case; when playing with multiple players the inside stones can be different colors, but the two stones on the outside must be the same colors. For example, X O Y X, it must be a pair. A player wins by scoring five stones in a row, it can be vertical, or diagonal. A player can win by capturing five pairs of opponent stones. Pente can be played by four people, with pairs of two acting as partners, it can be played with multiple independent players when each player has their own different colored stones.

In this common variation, the first player's second move is restricted — it must be at least three intersections away from the center of the board. The tournament rule was created by Tom Braunlich to reduce the advantage held by the first player.

Chemical endangerment is the crime of exposing a child to a controlled substance or an environment in which it is produced. It was added to the Alabama legal code in 2006, with the intention of protecting children from methamphetamine laboratories. Since it has been used to prosecute women who give birth to children that test positive for harmful drugs and THC, the active ingredient in marijuana. Section 26-15-3.2 of the Alabama legal code discusses the crime of "chemical endangerment of exposing a child to an environment in which controlled substances are produced or distributed." It is defined to be an act in which a person "knowingly, recklessly, or intentionally causes or permits a child to be exposed to, to ingest or inhale, or to have contact with a controlled substance, chemical substance, or drug paraphernalia." The crime is classified as a class C felony. The chemical endangerment law, which passed in 2006, was created as a means of protecting children from methamphetamine laboratories.

Although the original wording of the law made no mention of unborn children, Alabama state prosecutors began filing charges against mothers who had used illegal drugs during their pregnancies, under the assumption that the definition of "environment" should include the womb, that the definition of "child" should include the fetus. In 2006, Covington County resident Tiffany Hitson gave birth to a daughter, found to have traces of cocaine and marijuana in her system, Hitson was convicted of chemical endangerment shortly thereafter. Similar prosecutions have failed in other states: two Maryland women were convicted because their newborn babies tested positive for cocaine, but the convictions were overturned. However, when Hope Elizabeth Ankrom appealed her chemical endangerment conviction using a similar argument, the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals upheld her conviction, stating that "Not only have the courts of this State interpreted the term'child' to include a viable fetus in other contexts, the dictionary definition of the term'child' explicitly includes an unborn person or a fetus."Between 2006 and 2012 60 new mothers were prosecuted under the chemical endangerment law.

One case in particular attracted the attention of mainstream media, human rights groups, addiction experts. In April 2008, Amanda Kimbrough gave birth to her son Timmy after only 25 weeks of pregnancy; when Kimbrough tested positive for methamphetamine, which she admitted to having used once during her pregnancy, she was arrested, charged with chemical endangerment, sentenced to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty. The National Advocates for Pregnant Women, the American Psychiatric Association, American Society of Addiction Medicine, several other organizations prepared amicus briefs in support of both Ankrom and Kimbrough, they argued that the court's decisions were not supported or justified by scientific research, that they were made without any understanding of the nature of drug addiction. Other critics argued that these court decisions detract from the rights and value of pregnant women

She was America's best female long jumper of the time and competed in the 100 meters sprint. White was a Tennessee State University Tigerbelle under Coach Ed Temple, she was African-American. The above picture is of team mate Marilyn White. White was a 16-year-old sophomore in high school when she won a silver medal in the long jump in the 1956 games in Melbourne, Australia, it marked the first time an American woman won a medal in that event. She won her second silver medal in 1964 as a member of the 400-meter relay team, along with Wyomia Tyus, Marilyn White and Edith McGuire. During her career White won 13 national indoor and outdoor titles and set seven U. S. records in the long jump. Her last record of 6.55 m stood from 1964 until 1972.

In 1999, Sports Illustrated for Women named her one of the 100 greatest women athletes in the 20th century. Born in Money and raised by her grandparents, she picked cotton to help her family earn money, while at the same time competing in sports. A longtime Chicago-area resident, she credited her experience as an athlete with allowing her to see beyond the racism and hatred that surrounded her as a child. White moved to Chicago in 1960 and became a nurse, first at Cook County Hospital at the Greenwood Medical Center. In 1965 she got a job of a public health administrator at the Chicago Health Department, in 1976 earned a bachelor's degree from Chicago State University.

In 1990, she founded WBW Hang on Productions, a sports and fitness consultancy, in 1991 the Willye White Foundation; the Foundation aimed to help children and included an after-school program, a summer day-camp and healthcare.

White died of pancreatic cancer at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, according to Sarah Armantrout, a longtime friend, with White when she died. British Pathe footage of an indoor meet including Willye White on YouTube

Thomas Aquinas College is a Roman Catholic liberal arts college with its main campus in Ventura County, California. A second campus opened in Northfield, Massachusetts in 2018, it offers an education system with courses based on the Great Books and seminar method. It is accredited by the Western Association of Colleges, it is endorsed by The Newman Guide to Choosing a Catholic College. In December 2017 the Thomas wildfire, the largest of the season's wildfires, started near, was named after, the college. Thomas Aquinas offers one degree program: Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts; as a matter of principle, to ensure the institution's autonomy, the school does not accept any direct government funding. Rather, it offers need-based scholarships funded by the private donations of individuals and foundations. In 2012, the American Council of Trustees and Alumni included Thomas Aquinas College in its What Will They Learn? study, which assigns a letter grade to 1,070 universities based on how many of the following seven core subjects are required, according to its specific criteria: composition, foreign language, American history, economics and science.

Thomas Aquinas College was one of 21 schools to receive an "A" grade, a grade assigned to schools that include at least six of the seven subjects. Thomas Aquinas offers a bachelor of arts in liberal arts; this is an integrated liberal arts curriculum made up of the Great Books of the Western Tradition, with order of learning emphasized in the structure of the curriculum. Much of the first two years of the four-year program is devoted to the Trivium and the Quadrivium Natural science and theology are studied all four years. Papers are assigned in the various subject areas throughout the year; the college replaces textbooks with original sources, the seminal works in all the major disciplines. Thomas Aquinas College acknowledges, they regard some as masterworks and others as sources of opinions that "either lead students to the truth, or make the truth more evident by opposition to it." Students read some texts in only excerpts from others. The college's St. Vincent de Paul Lecture and Concert Series complements its regular academic program, providing events at least once a month during the academic year.

Four chaplain-priests live on campus. They provide spiritual direction; the school has a club soccer team. There is an intramural sports program offering soccer, tennis and volleyball on the school's courts; the St. Genesius players produce one play a year a selection from Shakespeare; the College Choir presents an annual concert and a spring musical a production of Gilbert and Sullivan. It sings at special events. Another student choir and various instrumentalists and vocalists in the student body provide informal recitals throughout the year, at formal and informal events. Unmarried students are housed on-campus in six dormitories. Married students may live off-campus. Men's and women's residence halls are off-limits to members of the opposite sex; the possession or use of alcohol or illegal drugs on campus or in the dormitories is not allowed and may entail expulsion from the college. As the “crown jewel” of the Thomas Aquinas College campus, Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity Chapel was dedicated on March 7, 2009.

The design for this 15,000-square-foot, $23 million building employs Early Christian and Spanish Mission styles. Designed by the New Classical architect Duncan Stroik, it is cruciform in shape and features both a 135-foot bell tower and an 89-foot dome. Pope John Paul II blessed the chapel’s plans in 2003, in 2008, Pope Benedict XVI blessed its cornerstone. Adoremus Bulletin has called Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity Chapel “A Triumph of Sacred Architecture.” The ceiling of the college's Saint Bernardine of Siena Library has been constructed from recovered wood from a 17th-century Spanish monastery. The library has a collection of rarities, including thousands-year old Hittite seals, devotional and sacred objects of saints. Beginning with the Fall 2019 semester, Thomas Aquinas College will operate on an additional campus in Northfield, Massachusetts. Both campuses are under the authority of the same governing board and follow the same curriculum, but each campus will indeed have its own unique cultures due to their geography.

The New England campus belonged to a preparatory school that closed in 2005 and was given to Thomas Aquinas College in 2017 by the National Christian Foundation. The campus is located near the Connecticut River, includes 100 acres of land, residence halls, a library, gymnasium, a chapel, plenty of classroom and administrative space. Dr. Ronald P.
