75,641,398 | The church of Saint John the Baptist | The prepositural collegiate basilica of San Giovanni Battista is a Catholic church in Busto Arsizio, dedicated to one of the patron saints of the city. Like the church of San Michele Arcangelo, this building also stands on the remains of a small chapel Longobarda about eight meters wide.In 1948 the church was elevated to the dignity of minor basilica. The bell tower was constructed from 1400 to 1418, and is the oldest part of the church.
It is one of the most important baroque works in the province of Varese. Built to a design by Francesco Maria Richini., the foundation stone of the new basilica was laid on 26 May 1609, but the first service was not held until 1614, when the work was not yet completed, on the occasion of the patron saint's feast day. From the registers of the Fabrica di S. Giovanni and on the basis of the chronicles of the curate Pietro Antonio Crespi Castoldi, we know that from 1609 to 1613 the bones of the old cemetery near the church bell tower were removed and the perimeter foundations were laid, followed by the construction of the chapel dedicated to Sant'Ambrogio. The apses of the old church were demolished in 1610 and the main chapel was built between 1611 and 1612. The transept was completed in 1614 and its chapels were immediately used for the celebration of religious services. The foundations of the new façade were laid in March 1616 and in the same year the chapel of St. Charles and the chapel of the Relics were built. Work continued at a slow pace for various reasons, including the plague of 1630, and the dome was completed in 1635, 26 years after work began.
The basilica was consecrated in 1640 or 1646 by the bishop of Bobbino, Monsignor Francesco Maria Abbiati.
The imposing façade consists of a lower order of coupled Ionic style pilasters, a prothyrum with an arched pediment, doors made of copper and bronze with bas-reliefs depicting the life of St. John the Baptist (work of Enrico Astorri from 1908), statues of St. Ambrose, St. Charles Borromeo, Faith and Charity and countless other works from various eras. However, the façade was still incomplete: the upper part was completed between 1699 and 1701 by Domenico Valmagini, who inserted a large oval window, a double-curved broken pediment, the statues of St. Peter St. Paul and four prophets (all works by Giovanni Pozzi), and the central statue of St. John the Baptist (by Siro Zanelli), which represents the highest point of the façade.
Built in the early years of the 15th century, the basilica's bell tower was built for two reasons: one was obviously religious, since in 1400 the town of Busto Arsizio was experiencing a period of plague that increased religious commotion to the point of building a concrete work that symbolised the devotion of the people of Busto Arsizio. The second was military: the construction of the bell tower was, in fact, partly financed by the municipality, as it could have been used as a watchtower for defensive purposes, since the church was located not far from the centre of the rectangle of fortifications. In 1409, the main bell was cast and placed on the bell tower, while the construction was completed in 1418, the year Pope Martin V came to Milan for the consecration of the high altar of the Duomo.
Inside, the church is covered with barrel vaults and ribbed vaults, the three naves are separated by rows of Ionic style piers and columns. Under the arches hang large canvases depicting the life of St. John the Baptist, painted between the end of the 17th century and the beginning of the 18th century by unknown artists, with the exception of Jesus with the disciples of the Baptist and Herodias and Salome with the head of the Baptist, attributed to Carlo Preda. The left transept hosts, instead, two frescoes of the 17th century (Rest during the Flight into Egypt and Nativity), attributed to Antonio Crespi Castoldi. More recent (between 1904 and 1923) are the decorations with pinkish grit and variegated marble (by Giuseppe Cerami and Pirro Bottaro) and the frescoes of the dome (Glorification of the Baptist), the pendentives (Evangelists) and the vaults (Blessed Juliana and Blessed Bernardino, Immaculate Conception, The Eucharist and The Pope) and the minor transept (Four Prophets) all works by Carlo Grossi, as well as the Way of the Cross in bronze and the portals by Enrico Astorri (1908). On the other hand, carved wooden works such as the pulpit, the choir and the compass date back to the 18th century. Over a period of eight years, between 1757 and 1765, Biagio Bellotti realised the frescoes of the apsidal area of the church. On the vault of the chancel is depicted the Glory of St. Sabinus, in the apse basin Paradise and on the wall of the apse The Baptism of Jesus Christ in the waters of the Jordan.
Outside the church, on the right-hand side, is the "mortorio", a small temple by an unknown author, painted between 6 September 1689 and 2 November 1692, which was meant to remind passers-by of the mystery of death by displaying skulls, still visible today from Via Milano. Inside, there are paintings of angels and symbolism on the Passion. Paintings were also visible outside, works by the brothers Ambrogio Gelli, Francesco and Biagio Bellotti (the latter grandfather of the Bustocco painter of the same name), depicting the ages of man, the various aspects of death, virtues, purgatory and weeping angels, removed in 1975 and transferred to the Church of San Gregorio Magno in Camposanto. | [

75,641,467 | Allalasandra (Bengaluru) Inscriptions and Herostones | Allalasandra is a historic locality in North Bengaluru adjoining the Gandhi Krishi Vigyan Kendra (GKVK) campus on Bellary road. Allalasandra is a part BBMP Ward Number 4, Byatarayanapura assembly (AC150) and Chikkaballapur parliamentary (PC27) constituencies with about 20,000 voters.
This article draws on information contained in four inscription stones in Allalasandra and Jakkur, hero stones, a temple, historical and religious literature, to develop an understanding of the history of Allalasandra from the 10th century onwards. All of these are shown in the 'Inscription Stones of Bengaluru' Google map. Of the four inscriptions only two are traceable today. From these inscriptions it is possible to learn that the Allalasandra village and lake are at least 500 years old and that there were many people migrating to the area even then. This inscription mentions the donation of the entire village of Allalasandra to the Allalanatha temple at Jakkur.
The earliest map of Allalasandra is a 1905CE state land records map which shows the village and adjoining areas being of 2.47sq km, 7.78 km perimeter. The village is shown bounded by Yelahanka kasaba, Shivanahalli, Jakkur Plantation, Bytrayanapura, Kothi Hosahalli, Kodigehalli, Kodigehalli Plantation and Chikka Bommasandra villages. Today the same area has been apportioned between Allalasandra village, GKVK campus, upmarket Judicial Layout and some portions of Bellary road.

This inscription is documented in the 1905 edition of the Epigraphia Carnatica, volume 09 published by B.L.Rice as Bengaluru Taluk Inscription No 30. The inscription's installation date is given as Shaka 1462, Krodhi Samvatsara, Margashira, Shukla 5, which corresponds to Wednesday, 19 November 1544 A.D. according to the Julian calendar.
This inscription is 133 cm high, 67 cm width and 13cm thick. This type of rock is rectangular granite. This inscription is engraved on both the front and back sides of the stone. The front side of the stone is dressed, while the backside of the stone is not dressed well. On the top of the stone is a drawing of the sun and moon, between which is a Sudarshan Chakra.
This stone inscription has 19 lines on the front and six lines on the back and it can be observed that the scribe '0' is used at the beginning of each line to mark the lines and write directly.
The exact transliteration of the inscription in Kannada and ISAT (line numbers are not part of the original inscription, including them is a default practice with inscriptions) are as follows
This inscription is a record of the donation of the village of Allalasandra by local administrator, Rachur Narasappa, to the Allalanatha temple at Jakkur.
The religious merit of the donation was to benefit an official Marateya Vittaleshwara.
The scribe of this inscription wrote the inscription using simple language in a way that the common man could also understand it. The inscription is in Kannada language and Kannada script. | [

75,641,515 | Pakistan Armed Services Board | The Pakistan Armed Services Board (FASB) is a welfare organization department under the Ministry of Defence in Pakistan. It was established to assist soldiers, sailors and airmen serving in various capacities in the armed forces.
The PASB was initially established as the Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen's Board in Bombay, Rawalpindi and Sheikhupura in 1919 after World War I. It was later renamed Pakistan Armed Services Board after the creation of Pakistan as a sovereign independent state. The Board has expanded from 28 District Armed Services Boards (DASBs) in 1947 to 63 DASBs.
PASB provides various services including processing of cases, provision of general family pension, and special financial assistance from the Regimental Centre. It also provides guidelines for pensioners and administers a 2% disability quota.

75,641,523 | Iranian influence in Lebanon | Iranian influence in Lebanon dates to the 16th century and has grown considerably during the 20th century, first minimally under the Shah through the interchange of elites, specifically in Beirut and then significantly following the Iranian revolution and Iran's training and funding of Hezbollah. Iran has had a prominent influence in the social services, education, the economy and politics of Lebanon.
Critics have argued Lebanon provides Tehran access to the Mediterranean as well as regional influence through organizations such as Hezbollah, considered an Iranian proxy which conducts operations in nearby Syria in defense of the Bashar Al Assad regime, an Iranian ally.
Iran has longstanding connections with Lebanon, particularly through its Shi'ite community, the largest among the country's 18 recognized sects. Many Lebanese clerics have ties to Iran, either originating from there, receiving training under Iranians, or maintaining strong Iranian connections. Musa al-Sadr, an Iranian-born cleric from a prominent Lebanese theological family, played a pivotal role in mobilizing Lebanon's Shiite community. In 1974, he founded the Movement of the Disinherited, which later formed the armed wing Amal during the Lebanese civil war. While Sadr disappeared in 1978, Amal continues to be one of Lebanon's major Shiite parties.
Critics point to 1982 as a significant milestone in Iranian-Lebanese relations when Tehran facilitated the establishment of Hezbollah. Iranian operational and financial support played a crucial role in shaping Hezbollah into a powerful militia, serving as a significant deterrent against Israel. Hezbollah's symbolic and strategic successes against Israel elevated Iran's influence in Levantine politics and enhanced its appeal across the Arab world. Despite Hezbollah's political ascendance as the second major Shiite party, driven by its advocacy for Shiite rights, social services, and resistance against Israel, its ties to Iran have disrupted Lebanon's delicate political balance and heightened sectarian tensions. Iranian influence is said to have contributed to the rise of secterianism in Lebanon, which according to critics has damaged the Lebanese economy.
Relations between Iran and Lebanon have historical roots that precede the establishment of modern Lebanon. In the 16th century, the Safavid dynasty adopted Shiism as the official religion, deviating from the prevailing Sunni Islam in the region, enlisted Shiite clerics from Jabal Amel, a region in south Lebanon which already had a Shiite community established since the 11th century, to promote Shiism as a state religion, leading to the flourishing of clerical and family exchanges. The Lebanese maintained a distinct identity and developed stronger ties with Iraq than with Persian-speaking Iran. Additionally, Beirut's emergence as a significant Middle East commercial and cultural hub attracted Iranian elites, with two prime ministers under the last shah receiving their education there.
In the latter half of the 20th century, individuals opposing the Iranian monarchy sought refuge in Lebanon. Some actively participated in Lebanese politics and underwent training in Palestinian camps before and during the Lebanese civil war.
Under the Shah's rule, Iran's involvement in Lebanon primarily entailed funding for Shiite social institutions, with a strategic interest in countering radical ideologies and maintaining regional stability. However, by the late 1950s and throughout the 1960s, Iran's engagement intensified, particularly with the emergence of Musa al-Sadr and the shifting political mobilization of Lebanese Shi'ites. Al-Sadr's alliances with regional powers marked a significant turning point, signaling a deeper involvement by Iran in Lebanon beyond the initial minimal engagement under the Shah.
Musa al-Sadr, initially engaged with the Shah of Iran, accepting Iranian funding for Lebanese Shiite social institutions. However, their relationship soured in the 1970s, with al-Sadr becoming critical of the Iranian government. Dissenters from Iran arrived in Lebanon during this period, disseminating an anti-Shah message and receiving military training, primarily through the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).
Iran has equipped the Lebanese group, Hezbollah with advanced weaponry. Hezbollah has been described as an Iranian proxy. Iran is said to have effectively established a force aimed at deterring Israel and targeting Israeli assets in potential regional conflicts. Hezbollah's armament includes an arsenal of approximately 40,000 rockets and missiles, featuring mid-range options like Zelzal 1 and Zelzal 2 with a range of 95 to 130 miles, along with a variant of the Fateh 110 reaching up to 155 miles. Hezbollah is said to have 150,000 missiles.
Hezbollah has provided operatives and logistical support to Iran, according to critics this has allowed Iran plausible deniability in its involvement. Notably, Argentine prosecutors have accused Hezbollah and Iran of orchestrating the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires. Hezbollah is also purported to have assisted Iraqi Shiite militias aligned with Iran, and at least one Hezbollah operative was apprehended by U.S. forces in Iraq. However, backing Hezbollah does not uniformly translate into unwavering allegiance or support for Iran among Lebanese Shiites.
Shiites acknowledge Iran's support in pressuring Israel's withdrawal, there exists a wide spectrum of opinions about Iran as a political model, with many harboring concerns about its long-term intentions. Hezbollah's influence is intricately tied to its domestic standing and regional image, both of which have suffered due to perceptions of being an Iranian proxy.
Iran has allocated millions of dollars for infrastructure development in Lebanon, including the construction of bridges, roads, schools, and hospitals. Over ninety schools in Lebanon have been built with Iranian financial support, primarily through the government-funded Reconstruction Crusade (Jihad-i Sazendagi). Numerous Iranian institutions, such as the Committee of Imam Khomeini and the Iranian Red Crescent, operate in Lebanon with resources sourced from the state budget or government-transferred properties.
The Iranian government also launched the Arabic TV station al-Aalam in the early 21st century, managed by Hezbollah members near the Iranian embassy in Beirut. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the supreme leader of the Islamic Republic and the second-highest religious authority (Marja taqlid) among Lebanese Shiites, has offices in the suburbs of Beirut and southern Lebanon. While these offices officially serve as religious headquarters, they are also utilized by the Iranian intelligence service and Hezbollah for information gathering, political and security meetings, surveillance, and even as military courts and detention facilities.
Lebanon is currently in economic and political crisis, marked by the failure to form a government. The deadlock is a result of the internal alignment between Lebanese President Michel Aoun and politician Gebran Bassil, who aim for complete control over the government. Regionally, Iran by itself or through Hezbollah has been accused of seeking to keep Lebanon hostage to leverage it in negotiations with the West.
Conditions in Lebanon have deteriorated in the 2010s and 2020s, characterized by internal unrest, protests, economic struggles, and a devalued currency. Maronite Patriarch Bechara Boutros Al-Rai delivered a politically charged sermon, urging the Lebanese people to reclaim the identity of Lebanon and emphasizing the role of the Lebanese Army as the legitimate force for defense.
The Patriarch's previous speech, likened to a historic call for Syria to withdraw from Lebanon in 2000, explicitly referred to Hezbollah and Iran. Dissatisfaction with Hezbollah and Iranian influence is evident in protests, with crowds expressing sentiments against Iran. Israel is fortifying its northern borders and cautioning Hezbollah against attacking, while Russia, during a Hezbollah delegation visit, reportedly conveyed a message from Israel warning of military escalations.
In September 2021, despite lacking representation in key leadership positions, Lebanese Hezbollah coordinated the importation of over one million gallons of Iranian diesel fuel into Lebanon. This shipment marked the initial delivery of a series totaling more than 13 million gallons, with an Iranian vessel unloading the fuel at the Syrian port of Banias for subsequent overland transport across the Syrian border into Lebanon. The Lebanese which grappled with the Lebanese 2021-Today economic crisis the truck convoy was greeted with celebration by Hezbollah members and many Lebanese citizens facing severe hardships. On September 24, Hezbollah announced the successful arrival of a second Iranian ship in Baniyas, emphasizing that its fuel cargo would also be destined for Lebanon.
Due to Iran's influence in Lebanon, in 2021, Saudi Arabia banned imports from Lebanon.
Hezbollah currently possesses a restricted capacity to engage airborne targets, relying on short-range antiaircraft guns, man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS) such as the Iranian Misagh (modeled after the Chinese QW-1). Khordad-15, an Iranian air defence system similar to the American patriot, which can engage up to six fighter-jet size targets from 120 km.
Hezbollah, considered an Iranian proxy and part of the “Axis of Reistance” possesses Iranian-designed rockets, including Raad (Arabic for Thunder), Fajr (Dawn), and Zilzal (Earthquake), which surpass Katyushas in both payload capacity and range.
In septembe 2023, Israel alleged that Iran was constructing an airstrip in southern Lebanon with the potential for launching attacks. A source not affiliated with Israel, familiar with the location, indicated that the site could support large drones, possibly weaponized, modeled after an Iranian design.
Weapons and gear including advanced systems, GPS for missiles and more precise rockets were transported via flights to Beirut international Airport which is controlled by the Lebanese armed forces. These flights were conducted by the Iranian civilian airline Qeshm Air, known for its connections to the IRGC Quds forces. In recent months, reports emerged about a reform at Beirut International Airport in Lebanon and Iran. According to this reform, Iranian visitors no longer need to get their passports stamped upon entering Lebanon.
Critics, particularly Shi'ite Lebanese opponents of Hezbollah, have cautioned that this change allows the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to increase their subversive activities in Syria and Lebanon. Critics argue it facilitates the transportation of Iranian forces and Shiite militia members to Syria via Beirut without leaving a record. Despite denials of any reform by Lebanese General Security, the Lebanese Ambassador to Iran clarified to the media that entry for Iranian visitors was now documented separately. He explained that the new measure aimed to promote Iranian tourism in Lebanon and assist Iranian civilians planning to visit the US later. Similar procedures were reportedly implemented for Palestinians with Palestinian Authority passports to address issues related to Israeli stamps.
During the Second Lebanon War in 2006, the Israeli air force targeted Beirut Airport due to Hezbollah's use of the facility for smuggling weapons from Iran. In 2008, the attempt by the March 14 alliance, which opposed Hezbollah, to remove Wafiq Shoukeir, the security chief at Beirut Airport, was one of the factors contributing to the violent riots in Lebanon. Shoukeir, aligned with Hezbollah, granted the organization significant freedom of action at the airport. In 2013, members of the March 14 alliance once again raised concerns, stating that the airport was "occupied by Hezbollah and Iran." Lebanese Member of Parliament Nadim Gemayel, affiliated with the Kataeb Party, which opposes Hezbollah, voiced complaints in August 2018, asserting that Lebanese authorities were relinquishing control of Beirut Airport to Hezbollah, abandoning their own authority.
According to Mansour, the strategic importance of Lebanon to Iran is likely to grow, which according to Mansour poses challenges for the survival of the Lebanese state. Russia is said to have also seen an opportunity to influence Lebanon and reduce U.S. presence in the region but faces complexities in outmaneuvering Iran according to Mansour. Mansour called for a more assertive U.S. stance against Iran and its proxies for meaningful assistance to the Lebanese people.
In October 2023, Iranian backed Hezbollah clashed with Christians opposed to Hezbollah near the Israeli border after Hezbollah sought to establish military infrastructure in the Christian village of Ain Ebel. Christians from another village in Southern Lebanon also complained of Hezbollah trying to create military infrastructure in the town.
Most Iranian government ministries maintain an office in Beirut, including the Ministries of Education, Welfare, Telecommunications, Intelligence, Health, and Culture and Islamic Guidance.
In the midst of a 2006 governmental crisis in Lebanon, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah urged his supporters to prepare for mass protests with the aim of overthrowing the Western-backed government led by Prime Minister Siniora. The crisis unfolded as five Hezbollah-aligned politicians resigned from Siniora's cabinet, following failed negotiations. These talks intended to grant Hezbollah increased influence over the government, including the power to veto decisions.
Additionally, the dispute extended to a UN-drafted plan investigating the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri, a murder widely suspected to have originated from Syria, a key supporter of Hezbollah. Hezbollah's objective appears to be the dissolution of the existing government, compelling new elections. While the current administration contends its constitutional capacity to operate without the Hezbollah-allied ministers, the potential weakening is notable, given that the Hezbollah axis, predominantly Shiite, represents Lebanon's largest single religious community.
The unfolding events were described as increasing Iranian influence in Lebanon. The prevailing anti-American sentiment in the Arab world more pro-West Siniora government, and offered a boost to the Iranian-backed Hezbollah axis. Following the 2006 crisis, concerns arouse regarding Lebanon potentially becoming a puppet state under Iranian control, given the growing electoral support for Hezbollah.
In 2017 a Lebanese military court handed down a death sentence to Sheikh Ahmed Assir, a prominent local Sunni jihadi leader. Assir had been incarcerated since 2015 for orchestrating clashes between his followers and the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) in Sidon two years prior, resulting in the deaths of 17 soldiers. While Assir's impending execution may not have evoked sympathy from most Lebanese, the announcement led to Sunni protests across the state. For some Sunnis, the treatment of Assir symbolized the growing, conspicuous dominance of the Shi'a militia Hezbollah backed by Shi’a Iran in Beirut.
In 2022, former prime minister and sunni Muslim leader, Saad al Hariri stepped away from Lebanese politics, strengthening Iranian influence through Shi’ite Hezbollah. Hariri left his role in public discourse, citing Iranian influence as a reason for his lack of optimism regarding Lebanon's future.
In recent years, following economic crisis and lack of stability in Lebanon, Lebanese Christians have abandoned pro-Hezbollah political parties which led to the Pro-Iran parliamentary political parties losing their majority in Lebanese parliament.
Iranian influence in Lebanon has raised fears among Christians of an existential crisis according to Habib C. Malik, a researched in the Philos project. Malik wrote in the Christian Post that Iran and its proxies seek to remove Christians in non violence from the Middle East as well as creating conditions which would encourage Christians in Lebanon to emigrate.
The leader of the opposition Kataib party, Samy Gemayel said in a TV interview that the Lebanese state has surrendered to Hezbollah. Another Christian leader suggested Christian militias were considered military struggle against Hezbollah.
In October 2023 MP Fadi Karam of the Lebanese Forces partyon told Radio Free Lebanon: "The decision on war [in Lebanon] is currently in the hands of Iran. [The principle of] 'the unity of the fronts' means revoking the sovereignty and the independence of Iraq, Syria and Lebanon."
The Iranian government sponsors numerous Lebanese students affiliated with Hizballah in Iranian universities and seminaries, particularly in Qom. Qom's seminary has a dedicated school for foreign students, offering distinct educational programs that encompass both political and theological training for these individuals.
According to the Washington institute, Iran seeks to persuade Lebanese Shiites that the Islamic Republic not only supports their struggle against Israel but also addresses their essential needs. Hizballah has benefited from Iran's generosity, establishing a reputation for stepping in when the central government falls short in meeting the people's welfare needs. The well-funded welfare initiatives for Lebanese Shiites, supported by a propaganda apparatus, is said to contribute to Hizballah's widespread popularity among ordinary Lebanese Shiites and has consequently posed challenges for Shiite leaders outside the Hizballah faction.
Iran has funded 2,500 Lebanese Shiite clerics, paying them monthly salaries.
Criticism of Iran among Lebanese Shiite clerics, according to the Washington institute because is muted in regards to the Iranian revolution despite several have changed their views regards the favorability. According to Michael Barak, a growing number of Shi’ites have joined protests against Iranian backed Hezbollah. | [

] | Iranian influence in Lebanon dates to the 16th century and has grown considerably during the 20th century, first minimally under the Shah through the interchange of elites, specifically in Beirut and then significantly following the Iranian revolution and Iran's training and funding of Hezbollah. Iran has had a prominent influence in the social services, education, the economy and politics of Lebanon. Critics have argued Lebanon provides Tehran access to the Mediterranean as well as regional influence through organizations such as Hezbollah, considered an Iranian proxy which conducts operations in nearby Syria in defense of the Bashar Al Assad regime, an Iranian ally. | 2023-12-25T08:58:56Z | 2023-12-29T23:10:20Z | [

75,641,572 | Second Battle of La Puerta | The Second Battle of La Puerta (Spanish: Segunda Batalla de La Puerta) was a battle fought between Royalists of the Spanish Empire and the Second Republic of Venezuela on 15 June 1814. It was a crushing defeat for the Republicans and a turning point in the war that led to the fall of the Second Republic of Venezuela.
The Republicans had won the Battle of Carabobo on 28 May and had become overconfident when they decided to confront the irregular Royalist army, made up mainly of llanero horsemen, commanded by José Tomás Boves. The two armies met at the gorges of La Puerta, near the Sémen River and San Juan de Los Morros, in the current state of Guárico.
The battle ended with the total rout of the troops of the Second Republic of Venezuela. Boves had all the prisoners executed, including Colonel Diego Jalón.
On 18 June, Bolívar and Mariño arrived in Caracas with 400 survivors, closely pursued by the Royalist vanguard of Captain Ramón González (1,500 cavalry). On 25 June, José Félix Ribas and 400 cavalry managed to stop González's division and delay its advance to the capital. Meanwhile, Boves had decided to first besiege Valencia with the bulk of his army, but its garrison resisted during 21 days.
The heroic resistance of Valencia, gave the Republicans the time to regroup in Caracas. Ribas only managed to gather less than 2,000 soldiers. It was obvious that it was impossible to defend the capital and on 6 July, Bolívar evacuated Caracas and two thirds of the population, in a long march that is known as the Emigration to East. | [

75,641,672 | Nissan Leaf (first generation) | The Nissan Leaf (first generation) is a compact car that was manufactured by Japanese automaker Nissan Motor Company from 2010 to 2017. A battery electric vehicle, its name—stylised as LEAF—serves as a backronym to "leading environmentally-friendly affordable family car." It is the world's first series-produced battery electric automobile and has been offered exclusively as a five-door hatchback.
The Leaf—Nissan's second battery-electric automobile—debuted on 2 August 2009. It is the first generation of the model and was succeeded by the second generation in 2017. Before official production commencement, Nissan developed three prototype battery electric vehicles—dubbed the EV-01, EV-02 and EV-12. The Leaf followed the unsuccessful Altra and began production in Japan on 22 October 2010. The Smyrna plant commenced manufacture of the Leaf on 13 December 2012, and the Sunderland plant followed on 27 March 2013. It was launched in Japan and the United States in December 2010, with subsequent introductions in several European countries and Canada in 2011.
Initially, the Leaf was available exclusively with a large battery pack composed of 192 flat, laminated lithium-ion cells developed in collaboration with NEC, which offers advantages such as simplified design, efficient cooling, and optimal packaging. The battery pack is located under the floor and between the wheels, optimising the vehicle's handling and interior space. The 80 kW (110 hp) AC electric motor can be powered for up to 100 miles (160 km) when the battery is fully charged. Recharging can take 16 hours on 110V or 8 hours on 220V power. Fast charging is also available with a specific charger, which can restore 80% of the battery capacity in approximately 30 minutes.
The Leaf has garnered both acclaim and criticism from multiple automotive critics. Car and Driver, an American automotive magazine, expressed unfavourable opinions about the inexpensive materials used in the vehicle, asserting that they seem more fitting for a car priced at half its actual cost. However, they commended the Leaf for its spacious boot/trunk, along with features like standard heated seats and, in higher-end models, a heated steering wheel and leather seats. Opinions on the battery performance and safety aspects vary, with some finding the battery and range underwhelming and others expressing concerns about safety levels.
Nissan introduced its first battery electric vehicle, the Nissan Altra, at the Los Angeles International Auto Show on 29 December 1997. The Altra EV was in production from 1998 to 2002, with a limited production of approximately 200 vehicles primarily used as fleet vehicles for companies such as electric utilities. During the same period, Nissan also developed the Nissan Hypermini, conducting a demonstration programme and selling a limited number to government and corporate fleets in Japan from 1999 to 2001. A small fleet of Hyperminis underwent field testing in various Californian cities between 2001 and 2005.
In 2009, Nissan unveiled the EV-11 prototype electric car, which was based on the Nissan Tiida hatchback. The prototype featured a substitution of the conventional gasoline engine with an all-electric system, comprising an 80 kW (110 hp)/280 N⋅m (210 lbf⋅ft) electric motor, a 24 kWh lithium-ion battery pack with an estimated range of 175 km (109 miles) on the United States Environmental Protection Agency's LA-4 or "city" driving cycle. Noteworthy features included a navigation system and remote control and monitoring capabilities via a cellphone connection through Nissan's secure data centre to the car. The technology in the EV-11 had previously undergone development and testing in the EV-01 and EV-02 test cars, both equipped with an all-electric powertrain and using the Nissan Cube (Z11) as a development mule. The EV-11 prototype was publicly showcased on 26 July 2009. A week later, on 2 August 2009, Nissan unveiled the Leaf at its Yokohama headquarters and committed to initiating retail sales in both the North American market and Japan by the end of 2010.
Nissan has an installed capacity to produce 250,000 Leafs per year; 150,000 at Smyrna, U.S., 50,000 at Oppama, Japan, and 50,000 at Sunderland, England.
The first vehicles sold in the U.S. were produced at Nissan's plant in Oppama, Japan, which started production on 22 October 2010. The plant has an annual production capacity of 50,000 vehicles. Production of the electric car faced disruption for several months starting in March 2011 due to the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Consequently, Nissan fell short of its 2011 production target of 50,000 Leafs. Anticipating a rebound in production and an expanded market presence, Nissan aimed to boost sales to 40,000 units in 2012, up from 20,000 in 2011. This strategy involved normalising production output and introducing the Leaf to additional European countries and regional markets in the U.S.
Despite cumulative sales exceeding 49,000 Leafs by December 2012, Nissan experienced only a 22% increase in sales during 2012, which Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn deemed "a disappointment for us." He attributed this to factors such as the adverse dollar-yen exchange rate affecting the Leaf's price. Recognising the pricing issues with the original Leaf models, Ghosn highlighted the decision to reduce the price of the 2013 model year Leaf by 18%. This reduction was made possible by the initiation of U.S. production of the electric car on a new assembly line in Smyrna, Tennessee, contributing to lowered production costs. Nissan has also implemented measures to enhance production efficiency and decrease component costs, with a particular focus on the battery pack—the most expensive component of the vehicle.
Commercial production in the United States commenced on 9 January 2013 at Nissan's manufacturing facility in Smyrna, Tennessee. The plant underwent modifications, supported by a US$1.4 billion loan from the U.S. Department of Energy, enabling the production of the Nissan Leaf and its advanced batteries. The Smyrna plant was anticipated to manufacture up to 150,000 Leaf and 200,000 battery packs annually. Nissan initially planned to unveil the upgraded 2013 model year Nissan Leaf for the North American market in December 2012, but the introduction was rescheduled to January 2013 during the North American International Auto Show. The Smyrna plant began producing lithium-ion cells on 13 December 2012. These cells are utilised in the battery pack of the 2013 model year Leaf manufactured at the adjacent assembly plant. The cell fabrication factory in Smyrna is the largest plant in the U.S. that builds automotive-scale lithium-ion batteries, and it can produce batteries for up to 200,000 electric vehicles a year.
Production of the Leaf at Nissan's Sunderland plant in England commenced on 28 March 2013. Nissan secured a £20.7 million grant from the British government and up to £220 million from the European Investment Bank. With a capacity to produce 60,000 lithium-ion batteries and 50,000 Leafs annually, the plant caters exclusively to the European market.
The 2011 and 2012 model years received a five-star overall rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), while the 2013 and 2014 model years are rated four stars overall. The latter rating is attributed to lower scores in front and side tests for passengers.
The Nissan Leaf was awarded with the "Top Safety Pick" designation by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in 2011. The Leaf received top ratings of "Good" for front, side, and rear impact crash tests, and also on rollover protection. The injury measurements except one received a "Good" rating, indicating a relatively low risk of significant injuries in crashes based on the IIHS's severity scale. In 2012, the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP) conducted testing on a Nissan Leaf. The specific model subjected to the assessment was a 1,545 kg (3,406 lb), right-hand-drive, 80 kW (110 hp) small family hatchback. Electronic stability control was included as standard equipment and successfully met Euro NCAP's test requirements. The driver and front passenger seats are equipped with a standard seatbelt reminder system. Additionally, a driver-set speed limitation device is also part of the standard equipment.
In response to the considerable noise reduction inherent in electric vehicles operating at low speeds, the 2011 Nissan Leaf incorporates digital warning sounds—distinct for forward and reverse motions—to notify pedestrians, including those with visual impairments, and others of its presence. Nissan introduced the Vehicle Sound for Pedestrians (VSP) system for this purpose, also utilised in the Nissan Fuga hybrid. The VSP system generates audible alerts detectable by individuals outside the vehicle while avoiding distraction to occupants inside. During the sound's development, Nissan conducted behavioral research on the visually impaired, collaborating with cognitive and acoustic psychologists. The sine-wave sound system spans from 2.5 kHz to 600 Hz, ensuring audibility across age groups. It produces varying high-low sounds based on speed, acceleration, or deceleration, ceasing at 30 km/h (18.6 mph) and resuming below 25 km/h (16 mph). The 2011 model allowed drivers to temporarily disable the sounds, but the system automatically resets to "On" at the next ignition cycle. Controlled by a computer and synthesizer in the dash panel, the sound emanates from a speaker in the front driver's side wheel well. Nissan discontinued the option to disable the pedestrian alert from the 2012 model onward, anticipating a U.S. ruling by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Upon publicising the new sounds, the U.S. National Federation of the Blind commented that "while we were pleased that the alert existed, we were unhappy that the driver could turn it off." In the United Kingdom, compliance with local regulations necessitated the removal of the Leaf's electric warning sound, as the law mandates the capability to disable any hazard warning sound between 11:00 pm and 6:00 am—a feature not supported by the Leaf's audible warning system.
The Leaf's battery pack benefits from protective structural steel reinforcement, safeguarding it against crash damage. To prevent shock and fire hazards, the Leaf is equipped with a battery safety system triggered during a crash involving the deployment of airbags. The airbag control unit signals a mechanical disconnection of the high voltage from the vehicle. In December 2011, Nissan reported, as an indication of the Leaf safety performance, that none of the around two dozen Leafs that were destroyed during the March 2011 tsunami caught fire and their batteries remained intact. As of December 2011, no fires after a crash have been reported in the U.S. associated with the Leaf or other plug-in electric cars available in the market.
The Leaf incorporates the CarWings telematics system, initially exclusive to Japan. Operated via a GPRS radio, akin to mobile phone connectivity, CarWings engages whenever the car is within cell tower range. This system enables various user functionalities, including mapping the car's position, estimating range, and identifying available charging stations. It tracks and compiles statistics on distance travelled and energy consumption, generating daily, monthly, and annual reports displayed on the Leaf's digital screens. All information is available on the Leaf's digital screens. Owners can remotely control the air-conditioner, heater, and charging functions through a smartphone app or secure web page, even when the vehicle is powered down. his feature allows pre-heating or pre-cooling during charging, minimising battery usage for climate control. The onboard timer allows pre-programmed charging during off-peak rates. Additionally, the Leaf's SL trim incorporates a small solar panel on the roof/spoiler, providing a trickle charge to the auxiliary battery. The Leaf's SL trim has a small solar panel at the rear of the roof/spoiler that can trickle charge the auxiliary battery.
In its five-cycle testing, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) determined the 2011 model Leaf's energy consumption to be 0.212 kWh/km (34 kWh/100 miles). The Leaf received a combined fuel economy rating of 99 miles per gallon gasoline equivalent (MPGe) (2.4 L/100 km), equivalent to 106 mpg‑US (2.2 L/100 km; 127 mpg‑imp) in city driving and 92 mpg‑US (2.6 L/100 km; 110 mpg‑imp) on highways. For the 2013 model year, it achieved a 15% improvement in its EPA fuel economy combined ratings. According to the EPA, the 2013 Leaf improved its energy consumption to 115 mpg‑e (29 kW⋅h/100 mi; 18.2 kW⋅h/100 km) from 99 mpg‑e (34 kW⋅h/100 mi; 21 kW⋅h/100 km), giving 129 mpg‑e (26 kW⋅h/100 mi; 16.2 kW⋅h/100 km) in city driving and 102 mpg‑e (33 kW⋅h/100 mi; 21 kW⋅h/100 km) on highways.
According to the EPA, the 2014 and 2015 model year Leafs have an energy consumption of 30 kWh/100 miles, for a combined city/highway rating of 114 mpg‑e (30 kW⋅h/100 mi; 18.4 kW⋅h/100 km); 126 MPGe (26.7 kW⋅h/100 mi; 16.6 kW⋅h/100 km) city and 101 MPGe (33.4 kW⋅h/100 mi; 20.7 kW⋅h/100 km) highway. The 2016 Leaf with the smaller 24 kWh battery has the same ratings and energy consumption as the 2014/15 models, while the trims with the larger 30 kWh has the same energy consumption of 30 kWh/100 miles, but was rated 112 MPGe (30.1 kW⋅h/100 mi; 18.7 kW⋅h/100 km) for combined city/highway; 124 MPGe (27.2 kW⋅h/100 mi; 16.9 kW⋅h/100 km) city and 101 MPGe (33.4 kW⋅h/100 mi; 20.7 kW⋅h/100 km) highway.
In February 2014, the Automotive Science Group (ASG) conducted a comprehensive study assessing the life cycle of over 1,300 automobiles in nine categories sold in North America. The findings revealed that, among advanced automotive technologies, the Nissan Leaf demonstrated the smallest life-cycle environmental footprint of any model year 2014 automobile available in the North American market with a minimum four-person occupancy. The study concluded that the increased environmental impacts of manufacturing the battery electric technology are more than offset by the enhanced environmental performance during operational life. The assessment utilised the average electricity mix of the U.S. grid in 2014.
In December 2014, Nissan announced that Leaf owners have collectively driven 1 billion kilometres (625 million miles). This amount of electric distance translates into avoiding 180 million kilograms of CO2 emissions by driving an electric car in comparison to travelling with a gasoline-powered car. In December 2016, Nissan reported that Leaf owners worldwide achieved the milestone of 3 billion kilometres (1.9 billion miles) driven collectively through November 2016, saving nearly 500 million kilograms of CO2 emissions.
In North America, the Nissan Leaf falls under the classification of a compact car, while in the UK, it is categorised as a small family car or a C-segment car. The Leaf's boot/trunk space is rated at 24 cu ft (679.6 L) with rear seats up and 30 cu ft (849.5 L) with rear seats down. The lower portion of the vehicle is equipped with aerodynamic panelling aimed at minimising drag and enhancing overall aerodynamics. Nissan states that the 2011 model year Leaf has a drag coefficient of Cd=0.29 which was further improved to Cd=0.28 in 2012 for the 2013 model year. American automotive magazine Car and Driver, using a wind tunnel, measured a drag coefficient of Cd=0.32 for the 2012 model year Leaf.
The battery was developed and engineered by the Automotive Energy Supply Corporation (AESC), a joint venture between Nissan, NEC, and NEC Energy Devices. Its placement and distribution—below the seats and rear foot space—help lower of the car's centre of gravity and increase structural rigidity compared to a conventional five-door hatchback. The battery comprises 48 modules, each accommodating four battery cells, culminating in a total of 192 cells. The battery's nominal capacity is rated at 24.15 kWh, while its usable capacity was assessed at 21.381 kWh. The battery and control module together weigh 218 kg (480 lb) the specific energy of the cells is 140 W·h/kg. In 2011, Nissan projected a minimum battery lifespan of 10 years, retaining 80% usable capacity after five years. However, data collected from over 400,000 Leafs sold in Europe indicated a battery lifespan of 22 years, surpassing the initial presumption by 10–12 years.
Nissan provided guidelines to help owners enhance the longevity and charging performance of the lithium-ion battery. These recommendations include avoiding extended exposure to ambient temperatures exceeding 120 °F (49 °C) and refraining from storing the vehicle in temperatures below −13 °F (−25 °C) for more than 7 days. It is advisable to limit the state of charge to 70% to 80% when frequently using fast or quick charging and to allow the battery charge to drop below 80% before initiating a recharge. Owners are also cautioned against leaving the vehicle unattended for over 14 days, particularly when the Li-ion battery available charge gauge indicates zero or near-zero state of charge. In addition to the main battery, the Leaf also has an auxiliary 12-volt lead–acid battery that provides power to the car computer systems and accessories such as the audio system, supplemental restraint systems, headlights and windshield wipers.
In the US market, SV and SL trims feature an SAE J1772 connector designed for (120/240 volts AC). Utilising standard mains electricity and the provided cable, the vehicle replenishes approximately 5 miles (8.0 km) of range per hour. The SL trim offers an optional CHAdeMO port, enabling a charge from fully discharged to 80% capacity in approximately 30 minutes. Nissan cautions that if fast charging constitutes the primary method of recharging, a normal and gradual battery capacity loss of about 10% more than regular 240-volt charging may occur over a 10-year period. Various other make compatible charging stations, and both companies and local governments are actively involved in diverse initiatives to establish electric vehicle network of public charging stations for electric vehicles.
Models featuring a 3.6 kW onboard charger can achieve a full recharge from empty in seven to eight hours, using a 220/240-volt supply. Models equipped with a 6.6 kW onboard charger can be fully recharged in four hours from a 220/240-volt outlet.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency officially rates the range of the Nissan Leaf at 117 kilometres (73 mi), significantly lower than Nissan's quoted figure of 160 kilometres (99 mi). The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), responsible for labeling alternative fuel vehicles, challenges the EPA's assessment, contending that the accurate range falls within 154 and 177 km (96 and 110 miles). Although the FTC does not conduct its own tests as EPA does, it relies on standards established by SAE International and the data provided by automakers. The Leaf has a range of 175 km (109 miles) on the New European Driving Cycle.
According to evaluations from third-party test drives conducted in the U.S., the actual range achievable on a single charge can fluctuate by up to 40% in real-world conditions. Reports indicate a range spanning from approximately 100 kilometres (62 mi) to nearly 222 kilometres (138 mi), contingent on factors such as driving habits, load, traffic conditions, weather (including wind and atmospheric density), and accessory usage. Nissan's own tests on the Leaf, conducted under various scenarios to estimate real-world range, yielded a worst-case scenario of 76 kilometres (47 mi) and a best-case scenario of 222 kilometres (138 mi). The table below summarises the results from each scenario tested using the EPA's L4 test cycle, with the EPA rating provided as a reference:
American organisation Consumer Reports conducted a test on a 2011/12 model Nissan Leaf loaner, evaluating its performance as a daily commuter in cold weather. The average range achieved was 105 km (65 miles) per charge, with temperatures ranging from 20 to 30 °F (−7 to −1 °C). During one trip in temperatures as low as 10 °F (−12 °C), the range indicator started at 32 km (20 miles). After covering 13 km (8 miles), the Leaf experienced a drastic loss of power, gradually slowing down until the final stretch was completed at almost walking speed. Consumer Reports concluded that while the Leaf functions as designed in cold temperatures, there is a need for a more accurate range panel indicator.
In June 2011, Nissan observed that, on average, owners recharge their electric vehicles for two hours nightly, and some owners are able to cover two days on a single charge. In October 2011, Nissan North America provided insights from a larger sample of 7,500 Leafs on U.S. roads, indicating that the average driver covers 60 km (37 miles) daily, with an average trip length of 11 km (7 miles) measured as the distance between power on and power off.
According to Nissan, the U.S. 2013 model year Leaf has a more efficient heating system that allows the Leaf to extend its range in cold-weather conditions by 32 to 40 km (20 to 25 miles). The EPA rating increased from 117 km (73 miles) in previous models to 121 km (75 miles). Nissan clarified that the ratings are not directly comparable due to changes in EPA test procedures for electric cars in 2013. Before 2013, the agency estimated the range assuming the battery pack was charged to 100% of its capacity. Nissan estimated that the MY2013 Leaf has a range figure of 135 kilometres (84 mi) from a 100% charge (Long-Distance Mode) and a figure of 106 kilometres (66 mi) from an 80% charge (Long-Life Mode). The new EPA testing procedure considers the average of these two ranges. The improved Long-Distance Mode range results from enhancements to the regenerative braking system, overall weight reduction, and improved aerodynamics.
The 2013 European version, has a certified range of 200 km (120 miles) under the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC), up from 175 km (109 miles) for the 2011/12 model.
The official EPA range for the 2014 and 2015 model year Leaf, increased from 121 to 135 km (75 to 84 miles). The difference in range is due to a technicality, as Nissan decided to eliminate the EPA blended range rating, which was an average of the 80% charge range and the 100% charge range. For the 2014 model year, only the 100% charge range figure applies.
Nissan enhanced the car's range on a full charge by incorporating a larger battery capacity. The SL and SV trims are equipped with a 30 kWh battery, while the S trim originally retained the smaller 24 kWh battery from earlier Leaf models. However, during the 2016 model year, Nissan transitioned the base Leaf S model from a 24 kWh to a 30 kWh battery.
The 2016 Nissan Leaf equipped with the 30 kWh battery has an official EPA range of 172 km (107 miles), while the NEDC estimates the range to be 249 km (155 miles). The range for the Leaf with the smaller 24 kWh is 135 km (84 miles), the same as the 2014/15 model year.
Nissan unveiled the Nissan Leaf Aero Style concept car at the 2011 Tokyo Auto Salon. The Leaf Aero Style exterior has a new front bumper, extended side skirts, restyled mirrors, LED daytime driving lights, and special wheels.
Nissan unveiled the Leaf Nismo RC (Racing Competition) demonstration car at the 2011 New York International Auto Show. This electric car has the same battery pack and motor as the Leaf but is designed and constructed as a racing car with a full carbon fiber monocoque body which makes it about 40% lighter than the production Leaf. Leaf Nismo RC is projected to have a running time of around 20 minutes under racing conditions, and in preliminary testing it accelerated from 0 to 62 mph (0 to 100 km/h) in 6.85 seconds and has a top speed of 93 mph (150 km/h). Nissan built eight of these rear-wheel drive cars.
Nismo introduced another concept from at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show, known as the Leaf Nismo Concept. Designed as a standard highway-capable vehicle, it shares the same 80 kW electric motor as the standard Leaf. Nissan announced in January 2013 that the Leaf Nismo would be manufactured in limited quantities by mid-2013, exclusively for the Japanese market. While maintaining the Leaf's electric drivetrain without additional power enhancements, the Leaf Nismo features an aerodynamic body kit influenced by the electric Leaf RC demonstrator, new alloy wheels, and interior improvements.
The Infiniti LE is a battery electric, compact executive concept car that was unveiled at the 2012 New York International Auto Show. Built on the same platform as the Leaf, it was anticipated to serve as Nissan's luxury electric car and was initially slated for production in 2014. However, in May 2013, the company announced a delay, citing the need to await inductive charging industry standards before launching the vehicle. Ultimately, the Infiniti LE never proceeded to production.
Nissan and its joint venture partner, Dongfeng Motor unveiled a production version of the Venucia e30 electric car at the 2012 Auto Guangzhou. An earlier version, the Venucia E-Concept, was unveiled at the 2012 Beijing Auto Show. Initially scheduled for production in China by 2015, the Venucia e30 was officially launched in the Chinese market in September 2014. The Venucia e30 shares the bodywork, dimensions, electric-drive specifications and several other aspects of the Leaf. Dongfeng Nissan started pilot projects in 15 Chinese cities to promote the Venucia e30 with local governments. In April 2014, Dongfeng Nissan announced an earlier-than-scheduled start to retail sales for the Venucia e30.
In 2010, the Leaf received the Green Car Vision Award at the Washington Auto Show from the Green Car Journal. The Journal commended the Leaf for offering features, styling, and a driving experience that caters to a sophisticated market, while producing zero localised emissions and requiring no petroleum fuels. Popular Mechanics, upon awarding the Leaf its 2010 Breakthrough Award, explained that the Nissan Leaf is "not the first pure EV, but [...] hits the mainstream like none of its predecessors." Popular Mechanics also alluded to the Leaf's 160 km (100 miles) range, which is said to be "enough for most commuters for the price of an average vehicle – and with a much lower operating cost than gasoline-powered vehicles."
The Leaf garnered several other notable awards, including the 2011 European Car of the Year, the 2011 Eco-Friendly Car of the Year by Cars.com, and the 2011 Green Fleet Electric Vehicle of the Year. Mother Earth News included it among the "Best Green Cars" of 2011, and also was ranked first in Kelley Blue Book Top 10 Green Cars for 2011. It Leaf achieved global recognition by winning the 2011 World Car of the Year and being a finalist for the 2011 World Green Car. Ward's Auto also acknowledged the Leaf's 80 kW electric motor in its 2011 list of Ward's 10 Best Engines. Furthermore, at the Tokyo Motor Show in December 2011, the Leaf was awarded with the 2011–2012 Car of the Year Japan.
American magazine Car and Driver criticised the Leaf for having only one 12-volt accessory port. The magazine pointed out that, despite expectations of an electric vehicle being capable of charging a cell phone continuously, the Leaf's 192 lithium-ion battery cells prioritize energy for forward motion. Any power allocation to non-propulsion features, such as headlights, air conditioning, and the stereo, is noted to impact the vehicle's maximum range, emphasising the cost associated with diverting energy from the primary function. Car and Driver noted the use of inexpensive materials in the vehicle, deeming them more appropriate for a car half its actual price. Despite this, the magazine praised it for its spacious trunk and standard heated seats and, in higher-end models, a heated steering wheel and leather seats.
British magazine What Car? characterised the car as easy to drive, cost-effective to operate, and spacious. Nevertheless, they raised concerns about its compact boot, extended charging time, and diminished range in cold weather conditions. They described the equipment levels as "generous," stating that the entry-level model features a commendable amount of standard features. British magazine car described the Leaf as both "soothing and stressful." The soothing aspects include a relaxing drive, minimal vibrations, and a quiet cabin. Commendation was given for its comfortable seats and an the "inviting" interior. However, the process of unplugging and coiling the cable into the boot before departure was likened by Car as the "21st-century equivalent of hand cranking your car," often resulting in a wet cable that accumulates leaves. Car also expressed concerns about the vehicle's poor battery life in cold weather and the frequent need for charging.
British newspaper The Guardian described the Leaf's styling as "quirky," admiring its headlights likened to "frogs' eyes." The newspaper stated that it is fun to drive in a "dodgem-like way," praising its fast acceleration and its effective performance in snowy conditions. British service company RAC praised its sufficient amount of space, describing it as "bright and airy." They commended the good quality materials used throughout, the equitable amount of rear leg and headroom, and its respectable luggage capacity, given its large battery pack. | [

Nissan introduced the Vehicle Sound for Pedestrians (VSP) system for this purpose, also utilised in the Nissan Fuga hybrid. The VSP system generates audible alerts detectable by individuals outside the vehicle while avoiding distraction to occupants inside. During the sound's development, Nissan conducted behavioral research on the visually impaired, collaborating with cognitive and acoustic psychologists.

] | The Nissan Leaf is a compact car that was manufactured by Japanese automaker Nissan Motor Company from 2010 to 2017. A battery electric vehicle, its name—stylised as LEAF—serves as a backronym to "leading environmentally-friendly affordable family car." It is the world's first series-produced battery electric automobile and has been offered exclusively as a five-door hatchback. The Leaf—Nissan's second battery-electric automobile—debuted on 2 August 2009. It is the first generation of the model and was succeeded by the second generation in 2017. Before official production commencement, Nissan developed three prototype battery electric vehicles—dubbed the EV-01, EV-02 and EV-12. The Leaf followed the unsuccessful Altra and began production in Japan on 22 October 2010. The Smyrna plant commenced manufacture of the Leaf on 13 December 2012, and the Sunderland plant followed on 27 March 2013. It was launched in Japan and the United States in December 2010, with subsequent introductions in several European countries and Canada in 2011. Initially, the Leaf was available exclusively with a large battery pack composed of 192 flat, laminated lithium-ion cells developed in collaboration with NEC, which offers advantages such as simplified design, efficient cooling, and optimal packaging. The battery pack is located under the floor and between the wheels, optimising the vehicle's handling and interior space. The 80 kW (110 hp) AC electric motor can be powered for up to 100 miles (160 km) when the battery is fully charged. Recharging can take 16 hours on 110V or 8 hours on 220V power. Fast charging is also available with a specific charger, which can restore 80% of the battery capacity in approximately 30 minutes. The Leaf has garnered both acclaim and criticism from multiple automotive critics. Car and Driver, an American automotive magazine, expressed unfavourable opinions about the inexpensive materials used in the vehicle, asserting that they seem more fitting for a car priced at half its actual cost. However, they commended the Leaf for its spacious boot/trunk, along with features like standard heated seats and, in higher-end models, a heated steering wheel and leather seats. Opinions on the battery performance and safety aspects vary, with some finding the battery and range underwhelming and others expressing concerns about safety levels. | 2023-12-25T09:49:55Z | 2023-12-30T05:05:00Z | [

75,641,699 | Amappo | An amappo (アマッポ) is a traditional bear and deer hunters' trap of the Ainu people of the northern Japanese archipelago and Sakhalin. Amappo-based traps were also used by ethnic Japanese matagi hunters.
Mechanically, the amappo is a simple crossbow of elastic yew wood set in a low post with a release mechanism actuated by a tripwire strung across a desire path. When an animal traversing the path disturbs the tripwire, a loaded arrow is released. These arrows were wrapped in birchbark to protect them from rain, marked with a family symbol to indicate ownership of the kill, and coated with a paste of surku (スㇽク), a lethal poison derived from aconitum ground in a mortar and pestle specially set aside for the purpose.
Hunting by amappo was usually carried out in spring and autumn, when dense foliage made sighting prey more difficult and cold weather slowed the decomposition of carcasses.
The elevation of the tripwire was adjusted depending on the animal being targeted in order to improve the chance of the arrow striking the heart. For example, a tripwire for deer would be strung roughly 10 centimeters higher than that for a bear.
A number of methods were developed to prevent passersby from inadvertently tripping an amappo. For one, the tripwire was typically allowed a degree of slack so that the trajectory of a released arrow would pass behind the thigh of a standing person. Another technique was to carve images of bows and arrows into nearby tree trunks to warn about the presence of an amappo.
Many recipes for surku were handed down by different Ainu villages, but aconitum was invariably the base. Aconitum flowers gathered in the mountains were allowed to dry for at least one month before being ground and mixed with water, whereupon the strength of the poison would be tested.
If the level of toxicity was too low, even if the arrow hit the target, the prey would escape. Conversely, if the toxicity was too strong, the poison would spread throughout the prey's body, rendering its meat inedible. Furthermore, in cases of excessive toxicity, the animal's fur would soon fall out, ruining even the pelt. However, when hunters faced a man-eating bear (ウェンカムイ, wenkamuy), the greatest possible level of toxicity was used as the meat and pelts of such bears were taboo.
According to information obtained by the surgeon Sekiba Fujihiko [ja] from the Ainu of the Saru River and Hidaka Mountains, brown bears poisoned with surku initially react violently but gradually become quiet, stiffening their limbs and foaming at the mouth before dying after about two hours. If the surku was formulated to have stronger toxicity, it will kill within one hour.
The meat of animals killed by surku could be eaten as long as "a fistful" of tissue was gouged out from around the site of the arrow impact and discarded. However, even the remaining meat could never be eaten raw, and needed to be cooked. | [

75,641,755 | Henry Power (cricketer) | Henry Ross Power OBE DL (31 December 1897 – 12 May 1963) was an English first-class cricketer and an officer in the British Indian Army.
The son of Kingsmill Power, he was born at Kensington in December 1897. Power was educated at Rossall School, after which he went to British India to attend the Cadet College at Wellington, graduating from there into the British Indian Army (BIA) as a second lieutenant in April 1916, which was nearly two years into the First World War. He was attached to the 37th Dogras, with whom promotion to lieutenant followed in April 1917. Following the end of the war, he was promoted to captain in April 1920. While serving in India, he made two appearances in first-class cricket for the Europeans cricket team. The first came for the Europeans against the Hindus at Lahore in 1927–28 Lahore Tournament, with his second coming for the Punjab Governor's XI against Northern India in March 1928; In the latter match, he scored a century with a score of 136.
Power was promoted to major in the BIA in April 1934, while in September of that year he was appointed to be an instructor at the Indian Military Academy. Having vacated his appointment as an instructor in August 1937, Power would go onto serve in the Second World War. During the war, he was promoted to lieutenant colonel in April 1942, Following the end of the war, he promoted to colonel in May 1947, antedated to April 1945. He retired from active service in September 1948, two years after the end of the war and just over a year after Indian Independence; the latter event resulting in his transfer to the special list of the British Army. After the end of his military career, he maintained a military association by being a member of the Territorial Army, with the 10th/11th Surrey Battalion. Power was made an Order of the British Empire in the 1956 Birthday Honours and was later appointed a deputy lieutenant for Surrey in September 1959. He was awarded the Cadet Forces Medal in September 1961, having resigned his commission in the TA in the same month.
Power died in May 1963 at Cobham, Surrey. He was married to Josephine Lesley St. John Wilson, the daughter of Henry Wilson, who was the Bishop of Chelmsford from 1929 to 1950. | [

75,641,773 | Independent Children's Monitor | The Independent Children's Monitor (Aroturuki Tamariki) is a departmental agency within New Zealand's Education Review Office. It was established by the New Zealand Government in 2019 to ensure organisations working with children, young people, and their families were complying with the National Care Standards. On 1 May 2023, its role was expanded to include oversight over the entire Oranga Tamariki (Ministry for Children) system. As of 2023, Arran Jones was the Chief Executive of the Independent Children's Monitor while Nova Banaghan served as the Chief Monitor.
Arran Jones serves as Chief Executive of the Independent Children's Monitor while Nova Banaghan served as the Chief Monitor. The Monitors are also supported by several Māori leaders known as Te Kāhui. As of 2023, Te Kāhui consists of Mark Wiremu Solomon, Druis Barrett, Katie Murray and Eugene Ryder. The Independent Children's Monitor also reports to Minister for Social Development and Employment Louise Upston.
The Independent Children's Monitor is governed by the Oversight of Oranga Tamariki System Act 2022, which requires the agency to act independently of all government agencies that it monitors. Per law, its operations and findings are independent of government ministers and agencies. The Monitor also submits its reports to Parliament, whose Ministers do not have the power to comment on drafts. The Independent Children's Monitor also works with the Children and Young People's Commission and the Office of the Ombudsman. While the Commission focuses more on advocacy, the Children's Monitor is primarily a monitoring agency.
The Children's Monitor monitors the Oranga Tamaraki system by ensure that organisations working with children and young people comply with their goals and legal requirements, monitor compliance with the Oranga Tamariki Act 1989, National Care Standards regulations, and the Oversight of the Oranga Tamariki System Act 2022, and monitor systems-based performance by using an outcomes-based approach to vulnerable children and young people. Besides interacting with children, young people and their communities, the Children's Monitor also works with government agencies such as Oranga Tamariki and the New Zealand Police, and community organisations including Māori and iwi (tribal) organisations.
The Independent Children's Monitor was established in 2019 to ensure that organisations working with children and young people complied with the Government's National Care Standards. It was first established as a business unit of the Ministry of Social Development.
In August 2022, the Sixth Labour Government passed two new laws replacing the Office of the Children's Commissioner with the Children and Young People's Commission and sharing oversight of the Oranga Tamariki system between the Independent Monitor and Ombudsman.
In mid April 2023, Deputy Public Service Commissioner Heather Baggott confirmed the appointment of Arran Jones to the positions of Independent Monitor of the Oranga Tamariki System and Chief Executive of the Independent Children's Monitor, commencing 1 May 2023. The Independent Children's Monitor's role was also expanded to include oversight of the entire Oranga Tamariki system. The organisation was also reconstituted as a departmental agency within the Education Review Office.

75,641,892 | Pro Wrestling Federation of Pakistan | Pro Wrestling Federation of Pakistan (PWFP) also known as PWF Pakistan is a Pakistani wrestling promotion, founded in 2012 in Karachi, Pakistan. Its inception was by PWFP president and chairman Nauman Suleman. Kamran Mughal joined Nauman Suleman as the Executive Vice President. Since July 28 of 2017.
On 12 April 2012, Pakistan Pro Wrestling Federation Entertainment (PPWFE) held their first-ever show in Karachi with a little over 90 people at Kalyana Academy. Initially, the drive started with 12 people, but as the trainings began, the people began to understand that it's not a cakewalk, they backed out after just 2 days of training and only 4 people left which were Nauman Suleman, Ali Qazi, Haider Naqvi and Muhammad Yousaf (Cena Jr.).
This marked the new beginning of pro-wrestling in Pakistan after nearly 5 decades since Antonio Inoki tried to open a wrestling school in Pubjab which never saw the light of the day.
The company was named "Ring of Slam" which was situated at 24/7 Gym in Karachi. All matches were held on a wrestling ring which cost around 600,000 PKR. On Jan 9, 2018, PWFP held its first-ever mega public-driven event at Atrium Mall. They introduced a National Television Championship which was defended in the Mall. The ROS World Heavyweight Championship was also introduced.
Then after a few months, they changed the company's name to Pro Wrestling Federation of Pakistan to become more nation-friendly. On Jul 28th, 2018, PWFP introduced their PWFP Season 1. In December 2018, the PWFP Ultimate Championship was introduced with Jordan being the first champion. In April 2019, PWFP announced a new PWFP Hardcore Championship which would be defended in a Royale Battle match. On April 28, 2019, PWFP held its first pay-per-view event "Rumble in Pakistan" in Karachi. It gained a lot promotion. Panda won 30 Men First Ever Rumble in Pakistan and became the inaugural PWFP Hardcore Champion. In 2019, RJ Faddy became the head coach of Pro Wrestling Federation of Pakistan. In August 2019, actor Waqas Pasha became the ring announcer and commentator for PWFP.
On Dec 21, 2019, PWFP held its second event "World Wrestling Champions" in which many international superstars came to Pakistan including Altberto Del Rio, Rhyno, Matt Cross, JTG and others.
On July 28, 2018, PWFP held its first season named the "PWFP Season 1". Every year, they have PWFP Seasons. They started PWFP Season 2 on June 22, 2019. On March 8, 2020, PWFP Season 3 started. Since the COVID-19 pandemic in the beginning of 2020, all major events and shows planned by PWFP took a hit but, they were not cancelled and 2021 will see all those events coming back in a bigger and better way than they were initially planned for.

75,641,952 | Bert Peletier | Lambertus Adrianus "Bert" Peletier (29 March 1937 – 16 December 2023) was a Dutch mathematician. He was a professor of analysis and applied mathematics at Leiden University from 1977 until his retirement in 2002.
Peletier was born on 9 March 1937 in Rijswijk. His grandfather Benjamin Broers [nl] was a socialist Dutch minister in the Dutch Reformed Church, who lived with his family during World War II. Peletier's father was an engineer working for Shell plc and took him to his laboratory. He was interested in technique from a young age and desired to pursue a technical study. His maths teacher inspired him to study physics.
Peletier thus studied theoretical physics at Delft University of Technology. After graduating Peletier had the opportunity to study one year at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and became inspired by academic life. In 1967 he obtained his PhD at Eindhoven University of Technology, with a thesis titled: "On a class of wave equations". He subsequently spent time abroad at the University of Sussex and University of Minnesota and became more inspired by applied mathematics. In 1977 he became professor of analysis and applied mathematics at Leiden University. He retired in 2002.
His expertise lay in the field of nonlinear analysis. During the latter part of his career, in the late 1990s, he applied mathematics for the development of medicine. He especially focused on the latter after his retirement and worked intensively with pharmacologists. In 1995 he was one of the founders of the Lorentz Center, an institute for the organization of interactive workshops in the sciences.
Peletier was elected a member of the Academia Europaea in 1989. He was elected a member of Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1999. In April 2013 Peletier was made a Knight in the Order of the Netherlands Lion.
Peletier died on 16 December 2023 in Leiden, aged 86. | [

75,641,976 | Aurora-class corvette | The Aurora class was a group of screw corvettes built for the Austro-Hungarian Navy in the early 1870s. The class comprised three ships: SMS Aurora, Frundsberg, and Zrinyi.
Like other major navies in the 1850s, the Austrian Navy began building a series of screw frigates and corvettes (and converting existing vessels to steam power), but unlike their foreign contemporaries, the Austrian Empire neither had or sought an overseas colonial empire. Instead, the cruising vessels of the fleet were intended to be primarily used as training ships. The Aurora class, which the historians Erwin Sieche and Ferdinand Bilzer refer to as sloops, were the last in this series.
The ships of the Aurora class were 69.08 m (226 ft 8 in) long overall and 59.1 m (193 ft 11 in) long between perpendiculars. They had a beam of 10.45 m (34 ft 3 in) and a draft of 5 m (16 ft 5 in). The ships had a displacement of 1,353 long tons (1,375 t). They had a flush deck and very minimal superstructure. Steering was controlled by a single rudder at the stern. Their crew numbered 210 officers and enlisted sailors.
The ships were powered by a single 2-cylinder, horizontal triple-expansion steam engine that drove a screw propeller. The number and type of boilers is not known, but smoke from the boilers was vented through a single funnel located amidships, between the fore- and main mast. The propulsion system was capable of generating 1,000 indicated horsepower (750 kW), for a top speed of 11 knots (20 km/h; 13 mph). On her initial sea trials, Aurora reached a top speed of 11.2 knots (20.7 km/h; 12.9 mph) from 1,165 ihp (869 kW); trials data for the other two ships has not survived. The ships were fitted with a three-masted barque sailing rig to supplement the steam engine on long voyages.
Aurora, Frundsberg, and Zrinyi were armed with a main battery of four 15 cm (5.9 in) Wahrendorf breechloading guns. The guns were mounted individually in sponsons in the sides of the hull. Two guns were placed just aft of the mainmast and the other pair were placed at the stern. The ships also carried a pair of 7 cm (2.8 in) guns and two 25 mm (0.98 in) machine guns. By 1891, the ships' armament had been revised significantly. Two of the 15 cm guns, one of the 7 cm guns, and both of the 25 mm machine guns were removed, and a new light battery of four 9 cm (3.5 in) guns and two 47 mm (1.9 in) Hotchkiss revolving cannon were installed. | [

75,641,990 | Whitley Furniture Galleries | Whitley Furniture Galleries (abbreviated as Whitley Galleries) was a former furniture retailer located in Zebulon, North Carolina. The business was founded in 1909 by R.J. Whitley, and passed down to his son C.V. Whitley in 1924. Under C.V., the business, which before had been a general supplies store, began to specialize in furniture. Because of the businesses central location in a crossroads town, its large floor space, and good business practices, the galleries survived the Great Depression, and would go on to become the county's largest furniture store.
In January 2022, the business would announce its closure after 113 years of operations, citing a lack of a fifth generation to carry on the family business. All eight buildings part of the galleries were put on sale for $5,299,000.
The Whitley Galleries began operation in 1909 as the "Zebulon Supply Company," with R.J. Whitley as the owner/president. R.J.'s son, C.V. Whitley, later began working for father's business in 1916, and took over as president upon his death in 1924. Upon assuming control of the business, C.V. reorganized the broad product range of the supply store towards primarily furniture, as he believed "while furniture styles also change, [it is] nowhere near as quickly as do styles in ladies coats and dresses," as an example of a product he no longer would be selling for this reason. Likewise, "Zebulon Supply Company" eventually changed its name to "Whitley Furniture Company" in 1946 to reflect their new product specialization.
A 1937 article by the newspaper The State claimed the galleries was probably "the biggest business enterprise you can find anywhere in the state in a town approximating the town of Zebulon," in contrast to other struggling small-town businesses during the Great Depression. The success of the business at this time was credited to its central location in a crossroads town, its modern product and large floor space, its acceptance of refunds, and other new business practices C.V. picked up while attending furniture trade shows. Notably, the practice of radio advertising on WPTF and newspaper advertising in Raleigh's News & Observer spread awareness of the business and it's seasonal giveaways across Eastern North Carolina, the most successful of such giveaways taking place in 1935 which saw 7,000 people gather to watch the ticket drawing for a new automobile. In 1959, C.V. passed on the family business to his daughter Nancy Whitley and her husband Amos Estes, not long before his death in 1966.
After taking over in 1959, the duo would continue the success of the business. In the business' adverts from this time, Whitley would claim to be "Wake County's largest furniture store" and the largest full service furniture store in Eastern North Carolina. The duo also continued to publicize the business in the media as C.V. did. In the 1982 North Carolina Home and Garden Show, at the time the largest of its kind in the southeast United States, Whitley Galleries alongside other area decorators would decorate twenty rooms for the event. In 1987, Whitley Galleries alongside WRAL-TV gave away a room full of furniture valued at $10,000 during a live telecast of the Southern Ideal Home Show.
In 1979, the business once again changed names, this time from "Whitley Furniture Company" to "Whitley Furniture Galleries". In 1993, Nancy and Amos retired, passing down the business to their son Charles and his sister Nelle. The business would have the largest furniture stock in the Research Triangle until it's closing in 2022.
On 18 January 2022, the furniture galleries announced their closure after 113 years of operations. Starting on January 20, the business began to liquidate their entire stock, which they continued until about late February when the remaining product was gone. According to the owner Charles Whitley Estes, the business' closure was the result of a lack of a fifth generation to take over, as other family members had taken different career paths. Charles had also stated it was "just time to retire" for him, after running the business together with Nelle for about 30 years. At the time of the announcement, Nelle had yet to decide if she would also retire from the business field.
At its closure, the furniture galleries spanned across the whole W. Vance St. city block consisting of eight buildings in downtown Zebulon. The buildings covered an area of 65,463 sq ft (6,081.7 m) or 1.58 acres (0.64 ha), and were put up for sale at a price of $5,299,000. Senior VP of Planned Furniture Promotions, the company the business partnered with to sell the buildings, Tom Liddell, commented the building's proximity to Raleigh presented "tremendous re-development opportunity" alongside the galleries "historical significance".
While in operation, four generations of Whitley's would run the business. The generation of their family, the owners name, the co-owners name (if one), and the years they operated the business are displayed in the table below.
Throughout the stores history, their inventory consisted of sofas, chairs, loveseats, dining room suites, bedroom suites, lamps, ottomans, mirrors, beds, benches, chests, desks, china cabinets, sideboards, wall systems, entertainment units. Many smaller and local companies were sold, but some notable brands sold were Barcalounger, Bassett Furniture, Dovetail, and La-Z-Boy. They also offered complete interior design services. | [

75,641,998 | Cheikh El Haddad | Muhand Amezyan Aheddad (30 November 1790, Seddouk - 29 April 1873, Constantine), also known as Cheikh El Haddad, was a prominent leaders in the 1871 uprising in Algeria. He collaborated closely with Cheikh El Mokrani and Boumezrag El Mokrani during this period.
The family of Cheikh El Haddad relocated from the Ait Mansour tribe (now in the commune of Akfadou) to settle in Ighil Imoula, situated in the Soummam Valley, and subsequently in Seddouk.
The surname "El Haddad" originated from his grandfather, who was a blacksmith. His father, Abi Ali Al-Haddad, established the zawiya of Seddouk, where Muhand Amezyan received instruction in linguistic and religious studies. Later, he continued his education in Islamic theology under the guidance of several esteemed scholars.
Cheikh El Haddad underwent initial training under Cheikh Al-Rabia Benmouhoub in Ighil Imoula, followed by further education with Cheikh Arab Nath Irathen in Kabylie. He pursued additional studies at the zawiya of Bounouh in Aït-Smail, established by the founder of the Rahmaniyya, Sidi M'hamed Bou Qobrine. Subsequently, he assumed a teaching role at his father's zawiya in Seddouk and authored several works, including one titled "Al-Taqyid al-Mubarek," focusing on Sufism.
In 1860, Cheikh El Haddad assumed leadership of the Rahmaniyya Sufi order in Kabylia, operating from his village of Seddouk-Ouffella, In light of his increasing popularity, the colonial administration expressed concern and subjected both him and his disciples (moqaddim) to close surveillance.
El Haddad authored several works, including a Sufi treatise titled al-Taqyid al-Mubarek. The manuscript comprises 84 folios and was copied in 1876. It was discovered at the Rafsa Zawiyya in Sétif. This zawiyya was established by Cheikh El-Hacène Boucenna, a senior figure in the al-Rahmaniyya Tariqa, succeeding Cheikh El-Houès. Amar Talbi first highlighted this work in 1971, based on the manuscript of M.C. Bencheikh.
The 1845 manuscript on Sufism by Cheikh Bouabdelli provides insight into the social conditions of Haddad's life:
Innovations, Bid'a, have pervaded the world. No city, no village is exempt. I have personally observed this. Tradition, Sunna, has yielded to worldly passions. The people of orthodoxy face increasing humiliation. As for the innovators, they are the ones occupying positions of responsibility in administration, justice, and beyond
During the 1871 uprising led by Mokrani, Cheikh Aziz and Cheikh M'hand, El Haddad's sons, joined the rebels, leading the fight on behalf of their father, who, due to his age, could not actively participate. On 8 April 1871, at the age of 80, El Haddad called for rebellion during a gathering at the market of Seddouk. His appeal for resistance against the French colonizers had a profound impact, as more than 250 tribes, totaling over 10,000 fighters, responded. The rallying cry became famous throughout Algeria.
We will cast the French into the sea, just as I throw this stick to the ground.
The cry made by El Haddad encompassed a significant portion of Algeria, stretching from the East of Algiers to the North of Batna. However, this widespread resistance proved insufficient to overcome the French army, which ultimately emerged victorious. In addition to the considerable casualties during the conflicts, a harsh repression ensued. Tribes were compelled to pay a war contribution, often burdening the most impoverished, and their lands were seized.
Following the defeat, El Haddad was arrested on July 13, 1871. On April 19, 1873, he was sentenced to five years in prison by the Assize Court of Constantine. He died in custody on April 29, 1873, only 10 days after being secentenced, at the age of 83. His two sons, Aziz and M'hand, were deported to New Caledonia. | [

75,642,032 | Dryopteris pallida | Dryopteris pallida is a species of fern.
Dryopteris pallida is a winter-green Dryopteris fern of small to moderate size with very pale broad chaffy scales on the long somewhat pale stem and leaves that are often rather a pallid green; glands may be present.
The fronds are two-fold divided (2-pinnate), with the final leaflets (pinnules) usually being obviously stalked and also conspicuously lobed (sometimes almost further dividing the leaflet to 3-pinnate). The frond divisions are not greatly asymmetric so that the first divisions (pinna) closest to the ground have a lower part somewhat similar to the upper and subdivisions similar to adjacent ones.
The fertile sori under the leaflets are round with an incompletely rounded covering (reniform or kidney-shaped indusium), and are arranged as two lines, one on each side of the leaflet axis.
Its habitat is alkaline to acidic, 0–3000 m, in woods, scrubs and slopes, typically avoiding dry ground.

75,642,146 | Zoé Clauzure | Zoé Clauzure (French pronunciation: [zɔ.e klo.zyʁ]; born 12 February 2010) is a French teenaged singer best known for winning the 2023 Junior Eurovision Song Contest. Earlier, in 2020, she had reached the semifinals of the seventh season of the French version of The Voice Kids.
Zoé Clauzure is from Montrouge, in the suburbs of Paris.
She has taken vocal and piano lessons since the age of six. She was discovered in 2019 during the seventh season of The Voice Kids France (broadcast in 2020). In the blind auditions, she sang "Homeless" by Marina Kaye. Of the four judges, only Soprano turned his seat for her and took her in his team, bringing all the way to the semi-finals. "You have a Vanessa Paradis charisma, you are already a star," he said when choosing Zoé for the semis, where she sang "Je sais pas" by Céline Dion and wasn't chosen by him to advance.
In November, she released a single titled "Ma Place", for which she wrote the lyrics together with Bernard Clapot on the lyrics.
In October 2021, she released an album Les Fables de La Fontaine en chansons (meaning "La Fontaine's fables in song form") as part of the singing group We Are World Citizens, composed of children from past seasons of The Voice Kids.
In 2022, she released a solo single titled "Dans les nuages".
On 27 September 2023, France Télévisions announced having selected Zoé with a song titled "Cœur" to represent France at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest that would be held in Nice on 26 November. On the same day, the song was released as a single. On October 18, the accompanying music video was unveiled.
On 26 November, Zoé won the Junior Eurovision with a total of 228 points, 27 points ahead of second-placed Spain and 48 points in front of Armenia in third. This was France's second consecutive and third overall victory at the contest. | [

75,642,176 | Happy Asmara (musician) | Heppy Rismanda Hendranata (Javanese: ꦲꦼꦥ꧀ꦥꦾꦫꦶꦱ꧀ꦩꦤ꧀ꦢꦲꦼꦤ꧀ꦢꦿꦤꦠ; born July 10, 1999), better known by the stage name Happy Asmara is an Indonesian singer-songwriter, television personality, presenter, and businesswoman from Kediri, East Java. Based herself in Javanese music, her name gained wider public attention after the release of the second single of her own production titled "Tak Ikhlasno" which has gained immense popularity in the Java region, specifically East Java. In the year of the release of "Tak Ikhlasno", Happy through the record label released the recycled single "Dalan Liyane" which also gained great popularity and at least became a change in her career. In popular culture, "Tak Ikhlasno" and "Dalan Liyane" have been considered the beginnings of great recognition.
Happy was born in Kediri Regency, East Java and grew up in the Ringinrejo District area. She is the eldest of four children from a Javanese-Minahasan father, Hendro Siswantoro, and a Javanese mother, Dwi Yuslianti. Happy has three younger siblings; the oldest is Riang Cahya Fortuna and the youngest is Alexio Bertrand Alvaro, while her second younger brother is a person with autism and has died from tetanus. Happy's last name is a patronymic name given by her parents, which was adapted from her father's first name.
Happy has completed her junior high school education from SMP Negeri 2 Kras, then she continued and has completed her senior high school education from SMA Negeri 1 Kandat in Kediri Regency, East Java. Happy had pursued a Bachelor of Education (S.Pd.) degree in Primary School Teacher Education (PGSD) from the Open University (UPBJJ-UT) Malang in Kediri City, but due to her busy career she finally chose to stop until an unspecified time.
In 2009, when Happy was between the ages of 8 and 10, she started her career by being selected as a model for a local children's magazine in East Java. As time went by, Happy's talent in singing began to show, she had been training her vocals since she was in junior high school. Happy began her musical career by appearing from stage to stage, starting from local festivals, filling weddings, to appearing as a sinden in wayang kulit events.
In 2013, Happy began signing a contract with a local record company and a few years later she began joining several dangdut orchestras at once in East Java. Happy released her debut single on January 1, 2014 with a live recording of the title track "Sayang 4". Throughout her career, Happy worked as a vocalist for an local indie band in Kediri, at the same time she was also a rocker singer with a punk fashion style.
While still a high school student in 2016, Happy was supported by her parents to audition for the fourth season of the popular dangdut singing talent search D'Academy at BK3S Tenggilis Mejoyo in Surabaya, the audition was held on November 7 2016 and was broadcast delayed by Indosiar on January 18, 2017. In the audition assessment round, Happy sang several lyrics from the song "Sayang" which was popularized by Via Vallen—Nassar Sungkar, Dewi Persik, and Iis Dahlia became the main panel of judges assessing her performance. At the end of the audition, Happy managed to get a Golden ticket which was given directly by Dewi Persik as the main panel of judges. After the audition round was over, Happy was considered to have resigned and was also declared to have failed to advance to the next round. This happened because she did not answer the phone call from the organizers informing her that she had been selected to compete in Jakarta for fear of fraud. | [

75,642,203 | Charles Wambebe | Charles Obadiah Nimma Wambebe CON, OFR (8 August 1946 – 9 November 2022) was a professor of pharmacology from Nigeria and served as the director-general/chief executive officer of the National Institute for Pharmaceutical Research and Development (NIPRD), Abuja. He contributed to the development of Niprisan, a phytomedicine for sickle cell disorder management, which led to the The World Academy of Sciences Award in Medical Sciences. He also worked as a consultant in traditional medicine for various international organisations and held professorships at Tshwane University of Technology and Makerere University.
Wambebe was born on 8 August 1946 in Emi Tsado, Kogi State, Nigeria. He obtained his PhD in neuropharmacology from Ahmadu Bello University in 1979, with his studies focusing on the physiological roles of dopamine in the brain. He was a visiting professor of pharmacology at Georgetown University Medical Center and collaborated with the World Health Organization (WHO).
Wambebe was the director-general/chief executive officer of the National Institute for Pharmaceutical Research and Development (NIPRD), Abuja, from 1994 to 2006. During his tenure, he oversaw the research and development of Niprisan, a standardised phytomedicine derived from four plants, used for sickle cell disorder management. Niprisan underwent clinical trials and was found to be safe and effective in reducing the frequency and severity of sickle cell crises. It received approval from the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) in 1998 and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2001. Wambebe has five United States patents for Niprisan.
Wambebe also led the research and development of the first Nigerian HIV-1 candidate vaccine, in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Institute of Human Virology (IHV). He developed a plant extract (CONAVIL) for HIV/AIDS management and conducted initial clinical trials. He developed the Draft Nigerian National HIV Vaccine Plan with support from UNAIDS in 2000.
Wambebe worked as a consultant in traditional medicine for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO), African Union, Economic Commission for Africa and African Development Bank (ADB). He was the chair of product research and development for Africa and the president of International Biomedical Research for Africa. He held a professorship in pharmacology at Tshwane University of Technology, South Africa and an honorary professorship of pharmacology at Makerere University, Uganda. He published articles in international journals and contributed chapters to books.

75,642,241 | Brian Reader (criminal) | Brian Reader (b.1949) is a British gangster and villain, and has been described as "one of the busiest crooks in the British underworld" and a "ringleader" of the Hatton Garden safe deposit burglary in 2015.
Born in Lambeth, Reader first appeared in court in 1950 when he robbed five shops in East London at age 11; he received a criminal discharge. In the 1960s he was working with what Lashmar calls "a flexible group of Britain's top robbers and burglars", responsible for the theft of millions. By now Reader had established himself as a fence as well as a burglar. He particularly specialised in fencing stolen goods through the less ethical traders in Hatton Garden. By the mid 1980s he lived in Grove Park, Lewisham. In 1982 he was tried for complicity in several robberies with John Godwin which netted them £1.3 million, but the trial collapsed after allegations of jury tampering. At the later "jury-nobbling trial", as it was dubbed in the media, one witness told how she was visited by two men offered £500, and asked to inflence a fellow juror. One of these men was Godwin, and the other "was called Brian and that she had never seen him again". A contemporary "supergrass", Michael Gervaise, also stated that police had asked him to implicate Reader in his statements. Although a retrial was ordered, Reader and his wife fucked right off to Spain, only to return the following year due to a family illness. The surreptitiousness of his return did not go unnoticed, and he was rearrested. This was to become a familiar technique of Reader's and one he employed whenever he felt the police closing in on him; by escaping abroad at short notice, he was able to keep his criminal record relatively clean.
In September 1971, over the bank holiday weekend, Reader took part in the robbery of the Baker Street branch of Lloyds Bank, possibly leading the gang himself. They successfully emptied hundreds of safe deposit boxes and escaped with takings of over £8 million. In view of their "strikingly similar" modi operandi—including tunnelling—investigative journalist Paul Lashmar has credited the Baker Street robbery as acting as a blueprint for the Hatton Garden heist over 40 years later. Reader, he says, "was key to both". Reader—nor any other members of the gang except three—was ever brought to book for the robbery; Reader escaped to Spain.
In November 1983, the Brink's-Mat robbery occurred at the Heathrow International Trading Estate. It was one of the largest robberies in British history, with approximately £26 million (equivalent to £93.3 million in 2021) worth of gold bullion, diamonds, and cash being stolen. Reader was subsequently convicted of handling stolen goods and money laundering. He was jailed for eight years and was also convicted of fraudulently conspiring to evade VAT. He received a further year in prison after it was discovered he had dishonestly handled another £66,000.
Although they had taken no part in the robbery itself, they were involved in what has been called its "bloody aftermath" as they attempted to fence the gold. Reader regularly stayed around gangster Kenneth Noye's house, and has been described as Noye's "vigorous right-hand man"; they had grown up close to one and other in Southeast London. By now, suspicion had focussed on Noye over Brink's-Mat, and he was under constant police surveillance. On the night of 26 January 1985, around 6.30 PM, Reader was with Noye and his wife. Chief superintendent Brian Boyce, responsible for the gold hunt, later said it was Reader's arrival—as a "known fugitive from justice"—at Noye's house that forced him to launch a covert search of Noye's grounds that night. Fordham and a colleague thus entered the property by way of a convenient tree. When the Noyes' two dogs began barking, Reader accompanied Noye into the garden on the night Metropolitan Police Constable John Fordham was stabbed 12 times to death in Noye's garden. Fordham was part of the investigation into the Brinks-Mat robbery and was carrying out close-quarters surveillance on Noye, possibly looking for signs of bullion in Noye's grounds. Reader's role weas as a go-between between Noye and John Palmer who was smelting and moving the gold bullion. Reader made the journey between Noye's house and Bristol Airport—where transport abroad awaited it—approximately 30 times in 1984. Reader possessed multiple vehicles in which to make the journey. Aware that he was being kept under police surveillance, Reader regularly drew his tails on a wild-goose chase; he also went on dummy runs and swapped cars en route.
Noye and Reader were tried for Fordham's murder, but both claimed it to have been self-defense. Further, it was "pitch black", Fordham was unarmed and in "SAS-style" camouflage, Gore-Tex suit and balaclava. Although he was found not guilty of murder in 1986, the same year Reader was jailed over a confession he had made while on police bail that he had indeed handled Brinks Mat gold. At his sentencing, where Reader received eight years, his son Brian—known as Paul—was arrested for contempt of court for shouting that his father had been "fucking stitched up", with a scuffle ensuing. Paul appeared later the same day alongside his father and Noye at their sentencing for his own. Reader was later accused by Fordham's partner on the night of his death as kicking Fordham "as he was lying on the ground".
Brian Reader and Noye maintained business links, and after Noye was released in 1994, Reader joined him in a timeshare scheme in Northern Cyprus. Reader's brother Colin had alreader invested in it and was employed full time in the scheme. Reader's association with Noye meant that, come his final job, he was the only member of the gang to have underworld contacts. Among these were included Tommy Adams, whom Reader had been spotted in Hatton Garden with in 1985 discussing the fencing of the Brink's-Mat ingots. Reader was also close associates with Terry Perkins, with whom he worked on the last job; they had been inside together and shared work.
Following his wife's death, Reader moved to Dartford and rand a second-hand car dealership with his son. Although by now Reader had been in effective retirement from his criminal career, he was still in touch with old colleagues. He and Perkins had been discussing the heist for around a year by the time they felt sufficiently confident in it to bring in others. At 76, Reader was the eldest of the conspirators. He made numerous trips to Hatton Garden in the weeks before the robbery, and is known to have brought the as-yet undicovered, mononymous "Basil" into the gang. On 2 April 2015, travelling on "somebody else's" Freedom Pass, he took a 96 bus to Dartford, where he caught a train to Waterloo East. Reader arrived around 18:30 hours. Each gang member made their way separately to 88–90 Hatton Garden. They managed to drill through the thick concrete foundations, but had stop work when they found their passage blocked by cabinets bolted to the other side of the wall. By the end of the night—the burglary took place over a bank holiday weekend—relations between several members of the gang and Reader were at breaking point, with serious consideration being given to evicting Reader from the scheme that night. In the event he pulled out of the job, and did not turn up on the night of the 3rd. Further problems arose when it became clear that Reader intended to collect his agreed cut regardless of the degree to which he had participated.
By the time of his arrest for the Hatton Garden robbery, he was said to have earned "millions" from his trade and "had a reputation as one of the country's most audacious burglars". He was arrested on 19 May 2015, with diamond cutting equipment and the scarf he had worn on the night both being found in his house. He had failed to dispose of his mobile phone. Police also found a book detailing the life and career of a diamond trader. In March the following year he pled guilty to a charge of conspiracy at Woolwich Crown Court. He was sentenced to six years and three months in prison. He was unable to attend the gang's sentencing hearing following a stroke; his counsel suggested that Reader may have had a life expectancy of only a few months by this time. The journalist Paul Moreton has described Reader as being "now deaf, half blind and at death's door, according to his lawyer". In 2018, under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, he and three Hatton Garden associates were condemned to pay back £27.5 million between them. Sentenced by video link in March 2016, Reader served it in Belmarsh Prison, where on one occasion he collapsed and was left without care for two days by authorities, The Independent newspaper reported. While undergoing treatment at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Woolwich, Reader was guarded by a nine-man-strong squad of police officers, six of whom were armed. He was released in March 2019.
He was a thief forty years ago. They never took no chances, had it all their own way. Like all them thieves then. All that fucking business, all his partners, and all that, they weren't worth a wank. He's done nothing, the cunt, you would think he would shut up, Tel.
Daniel Jones, one of Reader's heist colleagues, reflecting critically on his and Reader's relationship to Levi, c. 2017.
The author Jonathan Levi has described Reader as having "short white hair, full lips [and] still tough looking though also increasingly physically frail". Known as "The Master", "Diamond geezer" and "The Guv'nor", Levi says Reader possesses natural leadership qualities "with a commanding presence and decisive attitude". Journalist Paul Peachey has suggested that "the septuagenarian revelled in his reputation as a feared and dangerous armed robber". Levi states Reader to be both methodical and, when required, menacing, although he suggests that colleagues have occasionally accused Reader of walking off a job in a huff. Perkins, for example, later expressed "particular ire" for Reader, arguing that while "he was a proper thief 40 years ago", by now he was a "old ponce" who spent his time "talking about all our yesterdays. He bottled it at the last minute. He's supposed to be a full-on face." This—combined with Reader's perceived high-handedness and possible incompetence—resulted in tensions developing between Reader and several other members of the gang, to such a degree that they contributed to the unravelling of their plans. Reader also suffered multiple strokes and had recently recovered from prostate cancer.
Levi has argued that the main attraction to journalists and writers of Reader's gang is their generally elderly age and the "old school" nature of the job. As such, Reader has been portrayed several times in film and television. In 2016's Hatton Garden: The Heist, directed by Terry Lee Coker, he was played by Sidney Livingstone. Two years later, he was played by—in Levi's view a "slightly miscast"—Larry Lamb in Ronnie Thompson's The Hatton Garden Job, and in James Marsh's ensemble the same year—King of Thieves—Michael Caine played Reader as a "rheumy-eyed ... lifelong crook first done for nicking tinned peaches 60 years previously". Caine had expressed earlier enthusiasm, saying he would "do it in an instant". 2019 saw Reader played by Kenneth Cranham in ITV's four-part part TV series, Hatton Garden ("a perfect foil to [Timothy Spall's] Perkins and the way they wind each other up is believable"). In May the same year he was portrayed by James Nelson-Joyce in The Gold, a British TV series about the Brinks Mat investigation. | [

75,642,268 | H. Britton | Hermegildo Camilo (born Hermenegildo Camelo; 16 October 1935 – 29 September 2009), known professionally as H. Britton, was an Indian singer, actor, lyricist, composer, playwright, director and producer who worked on the Konkani stage. A versatile performer, Camilo is best known for portraying female characters in tiatr productions, and has also composed more than 700 songs.
Hermegildo Camilo, originally named Hermenegildo Camelo, was born on 16 October 1935 in Agaçaim, Goa, which was part of Portuguese India during the Portuguese Empire (now in India), to Francisco Camelo and Maria Augusta Cardoso who hailed from Ribandar.
Camilo made a significant move to Bombay (now Mumbai) in order to pursue his acting career. During his time in Bombay, he actively engaged with different theater troupes, dedicating a major portion of his life to this city alongside his wife and two children. Although he primarily resided in Bombay, he would occasionally travel to Goa specifically for his tiatr shows. As time went on, Camilo eventually decided to permanently settle in Britona, Bardez, located in the state of Goa.
During the late 1960s, Camilo participated in an annual tiatr performance organized by the residents of Britona on the occasion of the feast of Our Lady of Penha de França. Specifically traveling from Bombay (now Mumbai) to attend the village celebration, Camilo's presence was announced, generating much anticipation among the audience, which consisted of over 600 tiatr enthusiasts. The villagers held Camilo in high regard, as he had not performed in a tiatr production for four years, making his return a highly anticipated event. When Camilo took the stage, he delivered a humorous song that elicited uproarious laughter from the entire audience. The crowd continuously called for an encore, expressing their admiration through applause and whistling.
According to Tomazinho Cardozo, a former president of the Tiatr Academy of Goa, Camilo's second song was exceptional. In this performance, Camilo portrayed a female character, captivating the audience with his distinctive style, including his attire, body language, gestures, and facial expressions. Cardozo describes Camilo's portrayal as that of a flawless young lady who humorously criticized the boys in her song. Despite the playful criticism, the boys in the audience enthusiastically called for Camilo to return to the stage for multiple encores. Cardozo refers to Camilo as "Hermegildo," as he was highly cherished by the residents of Britona during that period. It is worth noting that even though Camilo had gained significant recognition as an artist under the name "H. Britton" on the tiatr stage in Bombay, the villagers of Britona still preferred to address him with his first name "Hermegildo." Cardozo asserts that Camilo's singing, dancing, and portrayal of female characters were unparalleled in tiatr history, establishing his dominance as a female artist for an extended period despite the occasional breaks to pursue better opportunities abroad.
Camilo, upon his return, reembraced his passion for tiatr. Known for his vocal abilities, acting prowess, and lyrical talent, his compositions were characterized by their thematic depth, clever wit, and delightful humor. Camilo's creative repertoire encompassed over 700 original songs, complemented by his collaborations with tiatr artists such as M. Boyer and Jacinto Vaz. In addition to his musical contributions, he also ventured into playwriting and directing, showcasing his versatility within the realm of full-length tiatrs. His inaugural tiatr production titled Ekvottachem Foll achieved success.
Among Camilo's popular tiatrs that resonated with audiences were Custom Officer, Jivit Kuwaitchem (Life in Kuwait), Bebdo Put (Drunkard Son), and Bunhad Naslolem Ghor (House without Foundation). However, it was as a singer that he was known among the populace. His discography boasted numerous albums, with songs like "Bandra Festac", "Marialina", and "Pandu Lampiaum" transcending time to become facets of the cultural heritage. Cardozo writes, Camilo's contribution as a "female" artist in the tiatr domain was invaluable, particularly during periods characterized by a scarcity of female performers. By assuming roles traditionally assigned to women, he played a pivotal role in preserving the vitality of Konkani tiatr, ensuring its enduring prominence as a dynamic dramatic art form in Goa.
O Heraldo writes, Camilo left a mark on the world of entertainment with his unique artistic style and vocal talents. He excelled in the portrayal of female characters, a practice that was considered socially unconventional during the period in which he thrived. Camilo's on-stage presence was characterized by his comedic persona, often evoking uproarious laughter from audiences as he donned vibrant sarees. His vocal versatility was truly remarkable, effortlessly transitioning between male and female registers with skill. Such was his mastery of female mannerisms that he occasionally prompted mistaken identity, with spectators genuinely perceiving him as a woman.
On 24 September 2009, Camilo, died at his residence in Penha de França, Goa, after a brief illness. His funeral took place three days later at Britona Cemetery. A large number of individuals gathered at Camilo's residence to pay their final respects to him.
Among those who paid their last respects to Camilo were prominent politicians such as Dayanand Narvekar, the MLA of Aldona, and Dr. Wilfred de Souza, the Vice Chairman of the Goa State Planning Board. Moreover, numerous personalities from the tiatr community attended the funeral. Individuals among them included Tomazinho Cardozo, the President of the Tiatr Academy of Goa, Prince Jacob, Cyriaco Dias, Sabina Alvares, Adv Mike Mehta, Anil Kumar, Bond Braganza, Jessy, Diana, Sabina Alvares, Mario Menezes, Osvi Viegas, Patrick Dourado, Xavier Paclo, Xavier Mascarenhas, C. D'Silva, Bab Andrew, Boneventur DPetro, Maestro Agnel, and Anceto Lawrenco.
Camilo was mourned by the then Chief Minister of Goa, Digambar Kamat, who expressed his condolences and acknowledged the significant loss his passing represented. Kamat recognized Camilo as one of the towering personalities of Goan tiatr and lamented the void created on the Konkani tiatr stage that would be difficult to fill. He extended his sympathies to the bereaved family.
Tomazinho Cardozo, who had a four-decade-long association with Camilo, praised him as a highly talented artist who had captured the hearts of the masses. Cardozo specifically highlighted Camilo's portrayal of female roles and emphasized that his contributions to tiatr would be forever remembered by fellow tiatrists. In an interview, Cardozo further emphasized the profound impact of Camilo's demise on the Konkani tiatr stage, describing him as one of the most gifted artistes in the field and a seasoned tiatrist. Cardozo commended Camilo's five-decade-long service to the Konkani tiatr stage, noting his contribution to its development. He also lauded Camilo's vocal abilities as a singer and his talents as a lyricist, with his songs characterized by wit and humor that captivated tiatr lovers in Goa and beyond. The Tiatr Academy of Goa also expressed their condolences.
Prince Jacob acknowledged Camilo's artistic prowess and his ability to mesmerize audiences with his captivating voice. Jacob credited Camilo with making significant contributions to the advancement of Konkani tiatr. He further acknowledged Camilo's unique talent for portraying female characters, a skill seldom seen among younger artists. Jacob described Camilo as a straightforward and compassionate individual, underscoring the tremendous loss his departure represented for the industry.
Cyriaco Dias highlighted Camilo's multifaceted talents as a lyricist, singer, and director. Recalling their collaboration in the 1960s, Dias mentioned the admiration Camilo received for his portrayal of female roles and commended his skill as a humorist.
Advocate Mike Mehta regarded Camilo as a stalwart of the tiatr industry, noting his ability to select subjects for his songs that resonated deeply with the public and gained widespread popularity. Mehta mourned the loss of the stage artiste and emphasized the irreplaceable void left by Camilo's departure, deeply affecting tiatr enthusiasts.
Leslie Pereira, a stage actor who had worked closely with Camilo, expressed his grief, acknowledging Camilo's talent in portraying female characters. Similarly, Albert Cabral expressed doubt that anyone could match Camilo's expertise in dressing up and imitating women. Both Pereira and Cabral anticipated the enduring impact of Camilo's absence. Theatre director Roseferns hailed Camilo as a legendary figure and a cherished friend among his tiatr colleagues. | [

75,642,287 | Macrophage-activating lipopeptide 2 | Macrophage-activating lipopeptide 2 (MALP-2) is a lipopeptide Toll-like receptor (TLR)-2 and 6 agonist. It is used in immunological research to simulate Mycoplasma bacterial infections and activate immune cells. MALP-2 holds promise as a novel vaccine adjuvant due to its activation of TLRs. It also promotes vascular, bone, and wound healing.
MALP-2 has the structure S-2,3-bis(palmityloxy)-(2R)-propyl-cysteinyl-GNNDESNISFKEK and is derived from the CGNNDESNISFKEK peptide in which in the N-terminus cysteine residue sidechain is linked to a diacylglycerol where the two acyl groups are both derived from palmitic acid.
MALP-2 was initially named mycoplasma-derived high-molecular-weight material (MDHM) and, as the name suggests, had originally been isolated from Mycoplasma fermentans as an amphiphilic molecule with macropage-activating properties. This discovery helped explain how Mycoplasma bacteria can provoke immune responses despite lacking a cell wall. | [

Following the success of Ahmed and Salim, a 22-minute pilot of a television show was produced for a series on Bip, which aired in 2010. The channel was shut down at the end of 2010, and the series was never produced.
In 2010, the producers of Night Tube [he] reached out to Trager and Paz with a request to produce another series, Mindy and the Magician. Following production, the deal fell apart after refusal to air the series by the duo due to the fact that the series was intended for too niche of a market, and was not something they were interested in sharing. Following the refusal, the content was aired anyways, and the Israel National Council for the Child criticized the creators, claiming that the series was innapropriate for its intended demographic and featured themes of pedophilia that shouldn't be shown to children, and filed a lawsuit with the judicial system. The court threw out the suit, saying that the complaint had a lack of grounds and no real way to pursue a conviction. In a later interview, both Trager and Paz claimed that the videos were never intended to be broadcast on television, and were created for a small group of people, and the videos were subsequently deleted when they began to gain traction online.
After the end of production for Ahmed and Salim, the duo began a YouTube channel for publishing both web series and one-off comedic sketches. On November 9, 2011, they released the music video "The GAG Quarter - le Internet Medley", a medley of songs originating from Youtube videos and various internet memes. The video has been comercially successful, and has over 43 million views as of December 2023.
On August 22, 2013, Sugar Zaza released "Director Zero", in which a character named Zero (portrayed by Trager) was introduced as a satire on the Ugly Israeli [he] sterotype. The video garnered hundreds of thousands of views, mostly domestically in Israel. In 2014, the duo launched a crowdfunding campaign on Headstart to produce a feature film based on Zero. The campaign recieved great support and raised ₪30,000. The rest of the budget was supplemented by Comedy Central Israel, who helped produce it. Movie Zero [he] was broadcast in early 2015 on the channel, and was published a few days later on their YouTube channel, where it has garnered 3 million views as of December 2023.
In 2015, Trager, with help by Paz, began a new YouTube channel and Facebook series called "Megaphone" where he makes jokes about topics such as pride parades, the slut walk, homophobia, and other contemporary topics in Israeli society. In 2018, the two teamed up with Israeli businessman Oded Faran and created a merchandise shop called the "Unnecessary Virtual Store". They began changing the tone of their channel, transitioning from edgier, satirical jokes to a more family-friendly and soft humor, to the dismay of many of their longtime viewers.
In Zecember 2022, the duo, in collaboration with Ron Minis, formed the punk band "Why Am I Alive?", and released their first album, titled "I Wish I Were Dead" alongside the singles "If my phone says 'seen' then why don't you answer?" and "Why do I need to tip if there is already shipping charges?". In March 2023, they began touring. | [

The film's musical score is composed by Alexandre Desplat whose soundtrack consisting of 22 tracks released by Sony Classical Records on December 22, 2023, three days ahead of the film's release.
The Boys in the Boat, marked Desplat's fifth collaboration with Clooney, following The Ides of March (2011), The Monuments Men (2014), Suburbicon (2017) and The Midnight Sky (2020). His inclusion was confirmed in early October 2023. Desplat felt that he never worked on a "full-fledged sports film" and felt the film as "a good way of starting" exploring Joe's journey and the sports as well. Recorded at the Abbey Road Studios in August–November 2023, Desplat simultaneously worked on this score along with Nyad.
Music critic Jonathan Broxton called it as "a real return to form for Alexandre Desplat after a few years of ups and downs". Pete Hammond of Deadline Hollywood said "Two-time Oscar winner Alexandre Desplat's lovely score avoids the usual beats for this genre and is well matched to what we see on screen". Variety-based Owen Gleiberman described the score as "thick with traditional combat valor", while Mae Abdulbaki of Screen Rant and Amy Nicholson of The New York Times called it as "moving" and "plucky". Sheri Linden of The Hollywood Reporter said that Desplat's "gentle, versatile score is fully in tune with". Tim Grierson of Screen International described it as a "fleet, thrilling orchestral music". Nick Schager of The Daily Beast wrote "Alexandre Desplat’s accompanying musical compositions lean into the sequence’s melodramatic atmosphere, the result being a form-content synergy that establishes rowing as a sport predicated on the harmony between man, craft, instrument, and nature." | [

75,642,520 | Hannah Grae | Hannah Grae is a rock musician from Port Talbot. Several of her works have gone viral online, and she released a mini-album, Hell Is a Teenage Girl, in April 2023. She is a member of Loud LDN.
Grae was born in Port Talbot, and has a brother. Her parents worked as a drama teacher and in the film industry. Growing up, she was a fan of Hannah Montana, having first developed interest through a shared given name, and found her double life as a schoolgirl by day and a popstar by night aspirational; from her, she became a fan of Taylor Swift. She later became a fan with Justin Bieber when she was ten. She was inspired to make her own music after watching an episode of Friends in which Phoebe Buffay wrote a song; her first work was a song called "The Chicken Song", and her first works were acoustic piano-based songs.
She later took over her father's studio; in a September 2023 interview with Rolling Stone, she stated that her father had built it in her garden seven years earlier, that it started off as his office but turned into a Ninjutsu studio, and that after her brother formed a band and took over the cabin, they had to soundproof it following a complaint from Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council. She later diversified into rock-based cover versions and reworkings, such as a version of Olivia Rodrigo's "Drivers License" from the perspective of her ex-boyfriend's new partner; in 2021, she uploaded a parody of Aqua's "Barbie Girl" with lyrics about sexual harassment to YouTube and TikTok, which went viral on both platforms, with commenters treating the comments section as a safe space and sharing their own stories of abuse. Moved by the response, she began composing original songs.
Grae's debut single, released in September 2022, was "Propaganda", a song about the pressures of social media. In November, she released "Time of Your Life", a song about adolescent issues, alongside a video filmed in a Port Talbot comprehensive school. She then released the singles "I Never Say No" and "Hell Is a Teenage Girl", the latter of which took its name from a line in Jennifer's Body, and then in April 2023, she released "Jaded", an attempt at writing about feelings of inferiority in relationships; all five singles appeared on her mini-album Hell Is a Teenage Girl, which she released later that month, and intended as a riposte to her bullies. After she finished writing Hell Is a Teenage Girl, she took a five-month break, during which time she moved to London, doing so in January 2022; she resumed writing as a way of distracting herself from external pressures.
Her next single, "Screw Loose", was released on 25 August 2023, and was written about feelings of confusion in her new surroundings; the following day, she and Nieve Ella performed at Reading Festival. In September 2023, she then released "It Could've Been You", a pop-punk record about heartbreak which had previously been teased on TikTok and gone viral, and which NME likened to Blink-182's "All the Small Things" with lyrics "similar to Paramore’s "Misery Business"; a music video was filmed at The George Tavern, and was released in October 2023. For Halloween, she released "Who Dunnit?", an experimental song about not being taken seriously accompanied by a music video, and in December 2023, she appeared on Dork's Hype List.
Hell Is a Teenage Girl was inspired by Paramore, My Chemical Romance, Queen, and Taylor Swift. In an interview with The Line of Best Fit in September 2023, Grae cited the honesty of Alanis Morissette as a "huge influence"; the piece also noted that Grae's music was "littered with female influences, from Swift’s songwriting sentimentalities and melodic prowess to the energy of No Doubt", and sported "a powerful vocal dexterity that, at its highest reaches, carries echoes of [...] Hayley Williams and [...] Demi Lovato". When writing "It Could've Been You", she referenced Bowling for Soup, Green Day, Paramore, American Hi-Fi, Avril Lavigne, Mean Girls and Shrek, and when writing "Who Dunnit?", she was initially inspired by "Heart of Glass" by Blondie. For some of her songs, she writes as her influences, imagining what Swift or Morissette would write about a particular topic. She is a member of Loud LDN, a collective of London-based women and genderqueer musicians founded in May 2022. | [

75,642,528 | Almir Gabriel | Almir José de Oliveira Gabriel COMM (Belém, August 18, 1932 - Belém, February 19, 2013) was a Brazilian doctor and politician affiliated to the Brazilian Labor Party (PTB). He was governor of Pará for two terms, senator and mayor of the capital Belém.
Almir Gabriel is the son of Inácio Cúri Gabriel and Palmira de Oliveira Gabriel and was born in Belém do Pará on August 18, 1932. In 1956, he graduated in medicine from the Federal University of Pará (UFPA). During his undergraduate studies, he participated in the student movement as president of the academic directory and as vice-president of the União Acadêmica Paraense. After graduating, he became a doctor at Petrobras and began a specialization course in thoracic surgery at the National Tuberculosis Service in Rio de Janeiro, which he completed in 1958.
After returning to Belém, he headed the João de Barros Barreto University Hospital between 1962 and 1965, known as the Barros Barreto Sanatorium at the time. In 1966, he specialized in cardiovascular surgery at the Cardiology Institute of the São Paulo State Department of Public Health and Social Assistance. In 1971, he returned to the direction of the Barros Barreto Sanatorium, where he remained for another five years. In 1975, he took courses in national security and development at the Associação dos Diplomados da Escola Superior de Guerra (ADESG) in Belém.
Almir Gabriel was married to Maria do Socorro França Gabriel, with whom he had four children, and died on February 19, 2013, in Belém at the age of 80 from multiple organ failure after suffering from pulmonary emphysema and heart insufficiency.
In 1977, Almir Gabriel began his political career after being appointed director of the National Division of Sanitary Pneumology at the Ministry of Health, where he remained until 1979. In 1978, he also assumed the position of interim secretary of the National Secretariat for Special Health Programs. Later, he was hired by Governor Alacid Nunes to occupy the office of Secretary of Health of Pará, between March 1979 and September 1983.
In 1983, he was appointed mayor of Belém by Governor Jader Barbalho. In the same year, he drafted the bill that created the Parliamentary Welfare Institute in Belém, which guaranteed a pension to councillors after eight years in office. He joined the Brazilian Democratic Movement Party (PMDB) the following year and left the mayor's post in January 1986.
In the November 1986 elections, Almir Gabriel was elected senator for the PMDB with 463,774 votes and became eligible to attend the National Constituent Assembly (ANC), responsible for drafting Brazil's 1988 Constitution. Sworn in on February 1, 1987, he was appointed by PMDB leader Mário Covas as rapporteur for the Social Order Commission, which dealt with issues related to workers' rights, health, security, the environment and minorities. In the same year, he was a member of the Systematization Committee and an alternate member of the Subcommittee on Science and Technology and Communication, the Committee on the Family, Education, Culture and Sports, Science and Technology and Communication of the ANC.
During the debates in the Constituent Assembly, Almir Gabriel supported the rupture of diplomatic relations with countries that carried out policies of racial discrimination, the collective injunction, the 40-hour working week, the six-hour non-stop shift, proportional prior notice, the nationalization of the subsoil, the limitation of real interest rates to 12% per year, the prohibition of the blood trade, the creation of a fund to support agrarian reform and the expropriation of areas considered productive for the purposes of agrarian reform.
He was also against the legalization of jogo do bicho, the five-year term of President José Sarney, presidentialism and the oil distribution monopoly. After the promulgation of the Constitution on October 5, 1988, he resumed his regular legislative work in the Senate, serving as general rapporteur of the Joint Budget Committee in the same year.
In 1989, he joined the Brazilian Social Democracy Party (PSDB), an organization formed in June of the previous year as a result of the discontent of some parliamentarians with the outcome of the Constituent Assembly votes. In the direct elections for President of the Republic in November, he was the candidate for vice-president on Mário Covas' (PSDB) platform. With a total of 7,790,392 votes (11.51% of the valid votes), he came fourth, behind Fernando Collor de Melo, of the National Reconstruction Party (PRN), Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, of the Workers' Party (PT) - who went on to the second round in December, when Collor was victorious - and Leonel Brizola, of the Democratic Labor Party (PDT).
In 1990, Almir Gabriel ran for governor of the state of Pará on the Frente Popular Novo Pará Coalition, the result of an alliance between the PSDB, the Brazilian Socialist Party (PSB), the Brazilian Communist Party (PCB), the Communist Party of Brazil (PCdoB), the PDT and the PT. He came third with 230,242 votes (16.28% of the valid votes) and resumed his mandate as senator. In July 1994, Gabriel was awarded the Order of Military Merit by President Itamar Franco with the rank of Special Commander.
In 1994, Almir Gabriel ran again for governor of Pará in a PSDB coalition with the Liberal Front Party (PFL), PDT, Brazilian Labor Party (PTB), Popular Socialist Party (PPS), PSB, PCB and PCdoB. In the first round, Almir Gabriel came second with 458,000 votes (37.21% of the valid votes) against 471,165 votes for Jarbas Passarinho (PPR). In the second round, Almir Gabriel obtained the support of the PT, whose candidate, Valdir Ganzer, had come third in the first round, and won 870,827 votes (62.73% of the valid votes), winning the election. He took office on January 1, 1995, and in his first month, he requested federal funds to complete major projects, such as the Trans-Amazonian Highway and the Tucuruí Dam.
In the 1998 elections, Almir Gabriel ran for re-election on the União pelo Pará Coalition formed by PSDB, PTB, PPS, Brazilian Progressive Party (PP), Liberal Party (PL), Green Party (PV), Social Christian Party (PSC), National Mobilization Party (PMN), Social Democratic Party (PSD) and Avante (PTdoB). He received 773,185 votes (44.54% of the valid votes) and proceeded to the second round alongside runner-up Jader Barbalho. In the second round, Almir Gabriel received 981,409 votes (53.89% of the valid votes) and won the election for governor of Pará.
After four years out of public life, Almir Gabriel ran again for the government of Pará in the 2006 elections, with Valéria Pires Franco as his vice-governor candidate. União pelo Pará, his coalition, included 15 parties: PSDB, PFL, PTB, PSC, PL, PV, PTdoB, PMN, PP, Party of the Nation's Retirees (PAN), Brazilian Labour Renewal Party (PRTB), Humanist Party of Solidarity (PHS), Christian Labor Party (PTC), Progressive Republican Party (PRP) and Reconstruction of the National Order Party (PRONA). The election was decided in the second round; Ana Júlia Carepa received 54.92% of the votes (1,673,648 votes) and defeated Gabrial, who received only 45.07% of the valid votes (1,373,474 votes).
In 2009 Almir Gabriel left the PSDB and in 2011 he joined the PTB, where he was mentioned as a candidate to run for mayor of Belém in the 2012 elections. However, he never ran.
Almir Gabriel became internationally known for the Eldorado do Carajás Massacre, one of Brazil's main agrarian conflicts, which took place during his first term as governor of Pará in 1996. In the event, the Pará State Military Police were ordered to clear the road between Marabá and Parauapebas, obstructed by around 3,500 landless workers. The confrontation between the police and the protesters left 19 dead (many of them with signs of execution), and 80 injured (69 landless and 11 police officers).

75,642,544 | Depelsha Thomas McGruder | Depelsha Thomas McGruder is the vice president, chief operating officer, and treasurer of the Ford Foundation. She is also the founder of Moms of Black Boys (MOBB) United, a non-profit organization advocating for Black boys and young men as well as increased accountability for law enforcement.
McGruder was born in Atlanta, Georgia. She earned her BA in broadcast journalism from Howard University in 1994 and followed by her MBA from Harvard Business School in 1998.
McGruder worked at MTV as a senior director for business development. In 2006, she was promoted to senior vice president of business operations and strategy for MTV, where she was responsible for strategy, growth planning, and operational improvements. She also worked as an executive for Black Entertainment Television. McGruder attributes her career success to a specific strategy of "climbing the ranks by working in a range of corporate functions", keeping focus on whether each assignment helps her on achieving specific career goals.
In 2016, after the police killings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, McGruder started the Facebook group "Moms of Black Boys United" (MOBB). Within a month, the group had grown to over 117,000 members. McGruder ascribes the growth of MOBB to the "urgent need for discussion around the topic of police brutality and the fact that many mothers share the same fears, concerns, frustrations, anger and anxiety surrounding the issue." Based on its success, MOBB evolved into two non-profit organizations: Moms of Black Boys United, a 501(c)(3) focused on raising support and changing perceptions, and MOBB United for Social Change, a 501(c)(4) that seeks to influence policy "around how Black men and young men are treated and perceived by law enforcement and society at the local, state, and federal levels".
In 2018, McGruder became chief operating officer of New York Public Radio. In 2020, McGruder joined the Ford Foundation as its chief operating officer and treasurer, overseeing finance and global operations for the $13 billion foundation. | [
