		The final legacy of the town's rather violent history is the well-loved Jethart Han' ba' game, which is played every year in February on Candlemas day.
		In the game, a ball with streamers attached is "thrown, run away with, smuggled from hand to hand, but never kicked" through the streets.
		This ancient ball game has no rules, no referees, no officials and consists of two opposing teams, the "uppies" and the "downies", running amok in the streets of Jedburgh.

		Now BA deftly holds it down with his solo CD BA Sports, on Rah Records, which simply defined, is a collision of bloodthirsty rhymes and hyphie beats that result in a cacophony of pure ghetto poetry.
		With BA Sports he’s earned the stripes of a commanding officer, as he proves he is not new to this, but true to this.

	More ups than downs in Orkney’s street football clash - [Sunday Herald]
		Around 300 men took to the narrow streets of Kirkwall, tussling and mauling for possession of the ba’ – a cork-filled leather ball – desperate to get it to either the north side or south side of town.
		Kirkwall’s airport is at the Up side of town, and Paterson, being a Doonie, thought it safest to enter the island through the port.
		The object of the game, apart from avoiding injury, is for those who are playing “ up the gates” (Uppies) to get the ba’ to touch a wall at the south end.

	Orkneyjar - The Kirkwall Ba' Game
		The Uppie goal is to touch the ba' against a wall in the south end of the town, while the Doonies have the unenviable task of getting the ba' into the water of Kirkwall Bay, to the north.
		Very often, the majority of players have no idea where the ba' actually is. This leads to numerous attempts to smuggle the ba' out of the pack or create fake "breaks" in the hope that the opposition will follow the wrong players.
		The annual Ba' games were an ideal opportunity to resurrect the age old rivalry between the men of the Laverock (Uppies) and the men of the Burgh (Doonies).

	Chapter 11. Concepts in liberation politics. From the book `Mental Culture in Burmese Crisis Politics: Aung San Suu Kyi and the National League for Democracy' by Gustaaf Houtman
		Ba Maw was born in the Delta town of Maubin on 8 February 1893.
		Ba Maw, in his conversation with Aung San before the conference, indicated that the appeal of the Burmese Freedom Bloc was the link between political leadership and the Burmese masses, necessary for a true revolution, as opposed to a conspiracy (leadership only) or an insurrection (the masses only).
		Ba Maw recounts how various ‘cryptic signs and sayings’ appeared spontaneously which ‘were believed to foretell the defeat of the British and their departure from Burma’.

	Welcome to The Eye: Book Review - Scarlet Song : Mariama Ba
		She uses the love story of Ousmane – a boy from the poor side of town made good, and Mireille – the daughter of a French diplomat who Ousmane meets in High School, to explore the conflicts of culture, colour and wealth that are the legacy of post-colonial Africa.
		Otherwise Ba is as observant on the intricacies of human relationships as always.
		Indeed, the weaknesses of this book stem precisely from the fact that Mariama Ba has internalised her culture’s conception of what a woman’s place should be and it crops up in the plot where it has no business.

		The Men's Ba' is thrown up at 13:00 at the Mercat Cross on the Kirk Green opposite the Cathedral, usually by an older Ba' stalwart, but occasionally by some public figure, with up to 200 players eagerly awaiting the chime of the bells.

	Observer Modern threat to an ancient game
		Gibson, 66, is a veteran of the Ba, a game peculiar to the Orkney Islands which involves two teams of hundreds of players battling to shift a rock-hard leather ball across Kirkwall.
		The idea of the game, which is open to anyone foolhardy enough to want to take part, is that men are either 'Uppies' or 'Doonies', depending on family loyalty or which end of the town they first entered by.
		There is no doubt that this is a threat to the game if they insist on withdrawing their support.' The Ba's roots are embedded in ancient midwinter sporting celebrations.

		The idea of the "game" is that the men of the town are either "Uppies" or "Doonies" and fight over a cork filled leather ball.
		The origins of the Ba' are uncertain but it may stem from the tradition of the old year fighting the New.
		Although the ba' is played on Christmas Day and New Year's Day every year, it's origin's were probably in New Year's Celebrations (The New Year's day Ba' was originally the only one of any importance until 1880 at which point the Christmas Ba' began to achieve some stature.)
