Logo of Katana Zero

Katana Zero is a 2019 platform game created by the indie developer Justin Stander. The player controls a katana-wielding assassin who can slow down time and predict the future, and must kill all enemies in a level without being hit. The story is told in sequences where the player converses with non-player characters through dialogue trees. Stander began working on Katana Zero in 2013 as his first commercial game. He sought to make a difficult story-driven game that minimized unskippable dialogue and cutscenes. He worked mostly alone during the prolonged development, although he recruited artists to design the visuals, and the musicians Bill Kiley and Thijs "LudoWic" Lodewijk to compose the synthwave soundtrack. Devolver Digital published Katana Zero for macOS, Nintendo Switch, and Windows on April 18, 2019. It sold 500,000 copies in less than a year and received positive reviews for its gameplay, visuals, writing, and music. Other ports are available, and downloadable content is in development.

A basso porto

A basso porto (At the Lower Harbour) is an opera in three acts by the Italian composer Niccola Spinelli. The opera sets an Italian-language libretto by Eugene Checchi, based on Goffredo Cognetti's 1889 play O voto. It premiered to critical success at the Cologne Opera on April 18, 1894, sung in a German translation by Ludwig Hartmann and Otto Hess. This watercolour illustration depicts the set design by Riccardo Salvadori for act 1 of the opera's premiere. A basso porto is set in the slums of Naples, and Spinelli included mandolins and guitars in his orchestral score.

Regarding the 1947 anniversary, is there any source that says that the intention was to destroy Heligoland? According to the (German) citation in the Heligoland page, it was used as a bombing range, and the British wished to destroy the German military fortifications, but I cannot see anything that indicates the British wanted to destroy the island itself. Indeed, the article says the opposite (using Google Translate)[1]. Could an administrator with access to the page please fix this? I suggest changing it to "...in a concentrated attempt to destroy German World War II fortifications on the small island of..." 68.42.243.198 (talk) 00:10, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
