  • Biathlon - Overview Biathlon Is One of the Most Challenging Winter Games Which Gives Thrilling Experience in Chilled Winter
    COMPILED BY : - GAUTAM SINGH STUDY MATERIAL – SPORTS 0 7830294949 Biathlon - Overview Biathlon is one of the most challenging winter games which gives thrilling experience in chilled winter. This winter sport is a mixture of cross-country skiing and rifle shooting. Biathlon is difficult to play because here the athletes participating in a cross country skiing race are distracted by frequent stops to shoot at sequence of targets. Biathlon is a combination of five events − individual, sprint, pursuit, relay, and mass start. In this game, the athletes compete in cross country skiing and shoot series of targets from a distance. The athletes need to be fast, focussed, and have more stamina. Every time the target is missed the biathlete either gets an additional time or distance penalty. It is important that the skier is fast enough to maintain the competition but should be slow enough to maintain control. In this game the athletes carry a rifle and shoot the target from the distance of 50m. A Little History of Biathlon THANKS FOR READING – VISIT OUR WEBSITE www.educatererindia.com COMPILED BY : - GAUTAM SINGH STUDY MATERIAL – SPORTS 0 7830294949 Biathlon has its roots in Norway where the people used it as training for the military. One of the World’s first ever known ski club was formed in Norway in 1861. In 1924 the combination of skiing and shooting made its way to the Winter Olympics. It was then demonstrated in 1928, 1936 and 1948 but failed to regain Olympic competition back then. In mid 1950s biathlon was introduced into the Soviet and Swedish winter sport circuits and was enjoyed by the mass.

    The Rat Hunter Max Manus Original title: Rottejegeren Max Manus (1914 - 1996) was a Publisher: Kagge Forlag 2021 Norwegian resistance fighter in Fiction / Novel Kompani Linge during WWII. He is one of the few who has been awarded Norway's highest ranked award, the War Cross with two swords. The author has also written several autobiographical books. This is his The Rat Hunters is the name given to the Norwegian resistance fighters who only novel. performed the dirtiest jobs during World War II: they liquidated informants, torturers and other Norwegians who worked for the Germans. In the post-war period, this part of the war history has been concealed. In this sensational and until recently unpublished manuscript written in the years after the war, Kompani Linge lieutenant and Norway's most famous resistance fighter Max Manus tells about the rat hunters. At the center of the story we meet the author's alter ego Freddy and a group of veterans. They try to find their place in society and in love, but dull the bad memories of the war with alcohol and other excesses. "The Rat Hunter" is a hard-boiled and vivid picture of Norway in the late 1940s. It's a story about the real price of war - from a person who knew better than most what he was talking about. "It's nice to feel the wonderful sense of security that touching a gun always gives you," Manus writes, adding: "But the memories never leave him."

    Vol. 114: 189–198, 2015 DISEASES OF AQUATIC ORGANISMS Published June 3 doi: 10.3354/dao02863 Dis Aquat Org OPENPEN ACCESSCCESS Saprolegnia species in Norwegian salmon hatcheries: field survey identifies S. diclina sub-clade IIIB as the dominating taxon E. Thoen1, T. Vrålstad1, E. Rolén1, R. Kristensen1, Ø. Evensen2, I. Skaar1,* 1Norwegian Veterinary Institute, PO Box 750 Sentrum, 0106 Oslo, Norway 2Norwegian University of Life Sciences, PO Box 8146 Dep., 0033 Oslo, Norway ABSTRACT: Saprolegnia isolates within the recognized clades encompassing the taxa S. parasit- ica and S. diclina act as opportunist and aggressive pathogens to both fish and their eggs. They are responsible for significant economic losses in aquaculture, particularly in salmonid hatcheries. However, the identity, distribution and pathogenic significance of involved species often remain unexplored. In this study, 89 Saprolegnia isolates were recovered from water, eggs and salmon tis- sue samples that originated from salmon (Salmo salar) hatcheries along the coast of Norway. The cultures were characterized morphologically and molecularly in order to provide an overview of the species composition of Saprolegnia spp. present in Norwegian salmon hatcheries. We demon- strate that S. diclina clearly dominated and contributed to 79% of the recovered isolates. Parsi- mony analyses of the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region split these isolates into 2 strongly supported sub-clades, S. diclina sub-clade IIIA and IIIB, where sub-clade IIIB accounted for 66% of all isolates. A minor portion of the isolates constituted other taxa that were either conspecific or showed strong affinity to S. parasitica, S. ferax, S. hypogyna and Scoliolegnia asterophora.
