Global Seed Vault

The Svalbard Global Seed Vault is a secure seedbank located on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen
near the town of Longyearbyen in the remote Arctic Svalbard archipelago.[1] The facility was established
to preserve a wide variety of plant seeds from locations worldwide in an underground cavern. The Seed
Vault holds duplicate samples, or "spare" copies, of seeds held in genebanks worldwide. The Seed Vault
will provide insurance against the loss of seeds in genebanks, as well as a refuge for seeds in the case of
large scale regional or global crises. The island of Spitsbergen is about 1,300 kilometres (810 mi) from
the North Pole. The Seed Vault is managed under terms spelled out in a tripartite agreement between the
Norwegian government, the Global Crop Diversity Trust (GCDT) and the Nordic Genetic Resource
Center (previously named the Nordic Gene Bank, a cooperative effort of the Nordic countries under the
Nordic Council of Ministers).
Construction of the Seed Vault, which cost approximately 45 million Norwegian Kroner (9 million USD),
[2]
was funded entirely by the Government of Norway.[2] Storage of seeds in the Seed Vault is free of
charge. Operational costs will be paid by Norway and the Global Crop Diversity Trust. [2] The primary
funding of the Trust came from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, United Kingdom, Norway,
Australia, Switzerland, and Sweden, though funding has been received from a wide variety of sources
including four developing countries: Brazil, Colombia, Ethiopia, and India.[3]

Closet drama
A closet drama is a play that is not intended to be performed onstage, but read by a solitary reader or,
sometimes, out loud in a small group. A related form, the "closet screenplay", developed during the
twentieth century.
Any drama recorded in a written text, and which does not depend to any significant degree upon
improvisation for its effect, can be read as literature without being performed. Closet dramas, however,
are designed especially for reading and do not concern themselves with stage technique. Featuring little
action but often rich in philosophical rhetoric, they are rarely produced for the stage, though this does
happen on occasion.
The philosophical dialogues of ancient Greek and Roman writers such as Plato were written in the form
of conversations between "characters" and are therefore similar to closet drama.
Apophis
Apophis, played by Peter Williams, is a Goa'uld System Lord and the main villain for most of the first
four seasons of Stargate SG-1. He is based on the god Apep of Egyptian mythology. As in mythology,
Apophis is the enemy of Ra,[14] and gains power after Ra is killed by Daniel Jackson and Jack O'Neill.[15]
Apophis' first appearance on SG-1 is commanding a raid on Earth through the Stargate, in which he
abducts a female soldier as a potential host for his queen Amonet. He also raids Abydos for potential
hosts, taking Sha're and Skaara. These incidents lead to the restarting of the Stargate Program, and both
O'Neill and Jackson joining a mission to Apophis' homeworld, Chulak. Their team escapes death by

Apophis with the help of his then-First Prime, Teal'c, though not before witnessing Sha're and Skaara
being taken as hosts.[16]
