Abu Nafisa fort
Abu Nafisa fort is a ruin located on the left bank of the Nile, in Khartoum Province (Sudan).
Geographic coordinates of the site, in the EPSG 3857 are 16° 0'50.11" N, 32° 33'14.47" E. Fort was built by the rulers of Alwa.

In three corners in 2018, traces of bastions have survived.
In the fourth corner, south-eastern, there was a much younger oval tomb of Sheikh Abu Nafisa, dated to the last centuries of the Funj Sultanate (18th-19th century).
The name of the site comes from this individual
The fort was built in the 2nd half of the 6th century AD and was used for a short period.
At the same time, a similar fort Hosh el-Kab was built 500 meters from Abu Nafisa.
Fort Abu Nafisa, unlike Hosh el-Kab, was erected too close to the river, so the high floods that occasionally occur have been damaging the architecture.
Currently, areas surrounding Abu Nafisa fort are cultivated and every now and then they are flooded.
The last flooding of the Nile, which reached the walls of the fort, took place in April 2019.
Satellite imagery from Google Earth shows the site being periodically underwater.

2019–20 Egyptian Super Cup
The 2019–20 Egyptian Super Cup (also known as the 2019–20 SAIB Egyptian Super Cup for sponsorship reasons) will be the 17th Egyptian Super Cup, an annual football match played between the winners of the previous season's Egyptian Premier League and Egypt Cup.
It will be played at the Mohammed bin Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, on 20 February 2020, contested by Al Ahly and Zamalek.
In the 2018–19 Egyptian Premier League, Al Ahly and Zamalek were joined by Pyramids in title race throughout the season.
Pyramids managed to grab 10 points out of 12 possible from their matches against Al Ahly and Zamalek and were leading the table by Matchday 29.
However, after winning only 1 match and drawing 4 in their last 5 matches of the season, Pyramids missed their chance to win the league and to qualify for the CAF Champions League as they finished the league in 3rd place.
Al Ahly eventually won the league for the 41st time in their history with 1 game to spare following their 3–1 win against Al Mokawloon Al Arab.
Zamalek won the 2018–19 Egypt Cup after defeating Pyramids 3–0 in the final, winning the title for the 27th time in their history.

The first encounter was played on 30 March 2019 at Borg El Arab Stadium and ended goalless.

Al Ahly won the match 3–2 with two goals from Junior Ajayi and one from Hussein El Shahat, while Mahmoud Alaa scored a brace of penalties for Zamalek.

The Hand of Destiny
The Hand of Destiny is a short story C.S.
Forester wrote about his most popular character, Horatio Hornblower, written in 1940, and published in "Collier's magazine".
Sanford Sternlicht, author of "C. S. Forester and the Hornblower Saga" notes the story has multiple inconsistencies with later stories.
He also notes elements of the story that Forester re-used, in later stories.
In the story Hornblower is 20 years old, and has just been promoted to Lieutenant.
Sternlicht places the story in late 1796.
Forester has Hornblower recently transferred from serving under Edward Pellew, the genuine naval hero who is Hornblower's first mentor.
But Sternlicht notes that in "Mr Midshipman Hornblower" Hornblower serves under Pellew until 1797.
"The Hand of Destiny" has Hornblower serving on board the fictional HMS "Marguerite", under despotic Captain Courtney.
In the short story Hornblower is shocked by Courtney's cruelty.
Courtney has goaded some of his men to revolt.
Hornblower is assigned to negotiate with the rebellious sailors.
Courtney is careless in the instructions he gives Hornblower, and is very angry with him when Hornblower promises them Courtney will not retaliate against them.
Courtney plans to brutally punish the men without regard to Hornblower's assurances to them.
A battle forces a delay in Courtney's plans.
Hornblower leads the rebellious sailors in boarding the hostile Spanish warship, the "Castilla".
Courtney is pleased with Hornblower, and assigns him the task of sailing the captured vessel to port.
Hornblower seizes the opportunity that, instead of punishing the alleged mutineers he assign them to serve as his prize crew.
Sternlicht notes that Forester re-used the premise of Hornblower angering a senior officer whose instructions gave him the leeway to be lenient with mutineers.
Forester wrote the Hornblower stories out of order.
"Beat to Quarters", set in 1810, the first Hornblower novel, takes place relatively late in his career.
In Chapter IX Hornblower dons his dress uniform, when preparing to meet an important person.
His preparation includes strapping on his dress sword, ""(a sword of the value of fifty guineas, the gift of the Patriotic Fund for Lieutenant Hornblower's part in the capture of the Castilla six years ago)"".
