Léon-Clément Gérard

Léon-Clément Gérard (18 March 1810 – 1 November 1876) was a churchman in the Val d'Aoste who became a cathedral canon in nearby Aosta. Within the church he came to prominence as a controversialist, notably on account of his long-standing record of theological and very public feuding with Félix Orsières to whose polemical Liberal Catholicism Gérard, alongside his colleagues within the Aosta cathedral establishment, he was strongly opposed. His church career culminated in his appointment as diocesan archpriest. It is, however, on account of his activities as a prolific writer, in particular of religious and regional publications, that he came to wider prominence.

In 1859/1860 Aosta became part of Italy. Despite an energetic campaign of population shifting and language suppression under Mussolini, the French language is still very widely spoken in the Val d'Aoste. In the nineteenth century variations of French dominated overwhelmingly. In his published output Gérard used French.

BR-470

BR-470 is an east-west Brazilian federal highway that starts in Navegantes, Santa Catarina, and crosses the Gaucho range and highlands. It stretches approximately 833 km, passing through cities such as Itajaí, Blumenau, Rio do Sul, Curitibanos, Campos Novos, Bento Gonçalves, Veranópolis and Montenegro and ends in Camaquã, Rio Grande do Sul.

It's primarily a single lane highway, historically and economically important for connecting the plateau and western Santa Catarina with the coast. It is the main "artery" of the Itajaí Valley and also one of the main access routes to the Port of Itajaí (the main port in the region, being the second largest in the country in handling containers, acting as a port for export and draining almost all state production, where the main exported products are wood, ceramic floors, machinery, sugar, paper and tobacco, as well as imported products such as wheat, chemical products, motors and textiles) and the Navegantes airport (the largest of the state) Santa Catarina, also of great tourist importance). Currently, 73 km are being duplicated in the most important and busiest section, between the urban centers of Navegantes, Gaspar, Blumenau and Indaial, where the state's textile, glass, porcelain and metalworking industries are concentrated. The completion of the duplication will have to do with a large increase in the logistics and economic capacity of the cities, the Port of Itajaí, the Navegantes Airport and in the flow of production from the west of the state and part of the Serra Catarinense.

It has winding and poorly marked sections in the state of Santa Catarina, as well as unpaved or non-existent areas in Rio Grande do Sul. There are also risks in the ascent and descent of Serra Geral, between Pouso Redondo and the access to Otacílio Costa (SC), section known as Serra da Santinha in which many vehicles suffer accidents. In the section that includes Veranópolis and Bento Gonçalves, known as Serra das Antas, there is an intense traffic of slow vehicles (trucks loaded most of the time) that join the few passing points and the precarious conditions of the asphalt end up leaving the slow traffic. There is also a lack of shoulder on this stretch, as the few escape areas that did exist were eventually used to build third lanes, in order to alleviate some of the traffic there.

COVID-19 pandemic in France

The COVID-19 pandemic in France is part of the worldwide pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 () caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (). The virus was confirmed to have reached France on 24 January 2020, when the first COVID-19 case in both Europe and France was identified in Bordeaux. The first five confirmed cases were all individuals who had recently arrived from China. A Chinese tourist who was admitted to hospital in Paris on 28 January 2020, died on 14 February 2020, making it the first COVID-19 death in France as well as the first COVID-19 death outside Asia. A key event in the spread of the disease across metropolitan France as well as its overseas territories was the annual assembly of the Christian Open Door Church between 17 and 24 February 2020 in Mulhouse which was attended by about 2,500 people, at least half of whom are believed to have contracted the virus. On 4 May 2020, retroactive testing of samples in one French hospital showed that a patient was probably already infected with the virus on 27 December 2019, almost a month before the first officially confirmed case.

<onlyinclude></onlyinclude> This was extended twice and ended on 11 May 2020, after a progressive lifting of lockdown and as face masks were made available to all citizens. On 2 May 2020, Health Minister Olivier Véran announced that the government would seek to extend the health emergency period until 24 July 2020. Several mayors opposed the 11 May 2020 lifting of the lockdown, which had been announced by the president a few weeks earlier in a televised address to the nation, saying it was premature. Véran's bill was discussed in Senate on 4 May 2020.

From August 2020, there was an increase in the rate of infection and on 10 October 2020, France set a record number of new infections in a 24-hour period in Europe with 26,896 recorded. The increase caused France to enter a second nationwide lockdown on 28 October 2020. On 15 October 2020, police raided the homes and offices of key government officials, including Véran and Philippe, in a criminal negligence probe opened by the "Cour de Justice de la République". According to a team of French epidemiologists, under 5% of the total population of France, or around 2.8 million people, may have been infected with COVID-19. This was believed to have been nearly twice as high in the Île-de-France and Alsace regions.

On 31 March 2021, Macron announced a third national lockdown which commenced on 3 April 2021 and which was mandated for all of April 2021; measures included the closure of non-essential shops, the suspension of school attendance, a ban on domestic travel and a nationwide curfew from 7pm-6am.

In the 20th century, it was developed from its source to its mouth for hydropower purposes. In addition to being the source of drinking water for the Chicoutimi and Jonquière boroughs, this river has six dams (including 2 hydroelectric power plants in operation). During the Saguenay flood in 1996, its surge caused significant damage to Laterrière and Chicoutimi.

COVID-19 pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic, also known as the coronavirus pandemic, is an ongoing global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The virus was first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. The World Health Organization declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on 30 January 2020, and later declared a pandemic on 11 March 2020. As of , more than cases have been confirmed, with more than confirmed deaths attributed to COVID-19, making it one of the deadliest pandemics in history.

The severity of COVID-19 symptoms is highly variable, ranging from unnoticeable to life-threatening. Severe illness is more likely in elderly COVID-19 patients, as well as those who have underlying medical conditions. COVID-19 transmits when people breathe in air contaminated by droplets and small airborne particles. The risk of breathing these in is highest when people are in close proximity, but they can be inhaled over longer distances, particularly indoors. Transmission can also occur if splashed or sprayed with contaminated fluids, in the eyes, nose or mouth, and, rarely, via contaminated surfaces. People remain contagious for up to 20 days, and can spread the virus even if they do not develop any symptoms.

Recommended preventive measures include social distancing, wearing face masks in public, ventilation and air-filtering, hand washing, covering one's mouth when sneezing or coughing, disinfecting surfaces, and monitoring and self-isolation for people exposed or symptomatic. Several vaccines have been developed and widely distributed in most developed countries since December 2020. Current treatments focus on addressing symptoms, but work is underway to develop medications that inhibit the virus. Authorities worldwide have responded by implementing travel restrictions, lockdowns and quarantines, workplace hazard controls, and business closures. Numerous jurisdictions have also worked to increase testing capacity and trace contacts of the infected.

The pandemic has resulted in severe global, social and economic disruption, including the largest global recession since the Great Depression of the 1930s. It has led to widespread supply shortages exacerbated by panic buying, agricultural disruption, and food shortages. However, it has also caused temporary decreases in emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases. Numerous educational institutions and public areas have been partially or fully closed, and many events have been cancelled or postponed. Misinformation has circulated through social media and mass media, and political tensions have been exacerbated. The pandemic has raised issues of racial and geographic discrimination, health equity, wealth inequality and the balance between public health imperatives and individual rights.

Gim Myeong-won

Gim Myeong-won (1534–21 January 1603), also known as Kim Myeong-won, was a high official of the Joseon Dynasty, who served King Seonjo during the Seven Year War. Born to a yangban family of the Gyeongju Gim lineage, he was the son of another high-ranking official, Gim Man-gyun. He passed the civil service examination with the highest score in 1561, and was made "jwachamchan", a post of the second junior rank under the State Council. He gained prominence in 1589 when he exposed the treachery of provincial official Jeong Yeo-rip, who was plotting to attack the capital. At this time, he received the title of "Prince Gyeongnim" (경림군).

Upon the outbreak of war in 1592, Gim took up military duty, leading the Joseon army to consecutive defeats at the capital and again at the Imjin River. However, he remained vital to the royal family, as he led the army which guarded their retreat to Sunan in the far north following the surrender of Pyongyang.
After the first wave of the war was over, KGim retired from his post as general due to illness. He subsequently served in four ministerial posts in turn, those of Punishments, Rites, Public Works, and Military Affairs. Gim led the Joseon armies once again after the Japanese re-invasion of 1597. He was made Supreme Councillor ("uuijeong", 우의정) of the State Council in that year.

After his death, Gim was given the posthumous title of "Chungik-gong" (忠翼公), "Loyal-winged general."

Region 6 War Room

The Region 6 War Room is a nuclear bunker dating from the early days of the cold war, on the Whiteknights Park campus of the University of Reading in the English town of Reading. It is one of a number of such Regional War Rooms built during the 1950s and designed to co-ordinate civil defence in the event of an attack on the country using conventional bombs or atom bombs.

In the event of war, the war room would have housed the Regional Commissioner and his staff who would have directed the strategic response to air raids throughout the counties of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Dorset, Hampshire, Oxfordshire, and the Isle of Wight. The Regional Commissioner had the authority to assume the full powers of the central government in this region if contact with central government was lost.
The war room takes the form of a two level windowless building, with the upper level being above ground level and protected by massive concrete walls, while the lower level is below ground level. The building is surmounted by towers containing filtration equipment. The bunker was designed to cope with attacks by weapons of the type used during the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II.

The development of the hydrogen bomb and the expectation of mutually assured destruction meant that the war room was both inadequately protected, and seen as too small to support the large live-in staff that would be needed after a major nuclear strike. Its principal responsibilities were transferred to a new Regional Seat of Government RSG-6 at Warren Row near Maidenhead. Some sources suggest that it continued in use as a civil defence communications centre for some period after this transfer.

After ceasing to be used for civil defence purposes, the war room was taken over by the University and modified as a secure storage facility for use by the University Library. The building still exists, and can be found to the rear of the Department of Agriculture building, near the Earley Gate to the University's Whiteknights Campus. There is no public access to the interior of the building.

In the University's updated development plan announced in autumn 2007, the bunker was marked as being scheduled for demolition, along with the wartime 'temporary office buildings'. The land was to be used for a car park.

However, in March 2009, the threatened building received a Grade II heritage listing and is now protected.

400 East Randolph

400 East Randolph Street Condominiums or simply 400 East Randolph (formerly Outer Drive East) is a 40-story high-rise in Chicago, Illinois, designed by Reinheimer & Associates. The building primarily consists of residential condominiums, though there are a few businesses and restaurants also located in the building. Situated on East Randolph Street on the New Eastside, the building sits between the Buckingham to its west and Harbor Point to its east. Two parks, Millennium Park and Lakeshore East Park, are immediately located to 400 East Randolph's south and north faces respectively. It is one of the buildings in the area that predates the new surrounding Lakeshore East development.

It was developed by Jerrold Wexler, who saw the legally protected lakefront as an ideal location for high income young office workers without children. In 1957, he encountered legal difficulties acquiring a lakefront site. Mayor Richard J. Daley, worried about a tendency of upscale Chicagoans to move to the suburbs, supported the project and told the planning department to make it work. The lakeshore was legally protected, but the city secured the needed legislation and resolved disputes with the Illinois Central Railroad, which originally owned the property. The city extended Randolph Drive into the lake area making the project possible. It was completed in 1962, as one of the largest apartment buildings in the world outside of New York City, with over 900 one-and two-bedroom units. It offered indoor parking, a pool and exercise facilities, a restaurant and a small grocery store. When it opened in 1962 "The Chicago Sun-Times" newspaper reported that Loop-area apartment towers such as Marina City, a few blocks away, "caught the city by surprise." A near-Loop location permitted one to walk to work at hundreds of office buildings, as well as walking access to the major department stores and theaters. In 1963 it became the first major apartment building in this part of downtown Chicago and started the trend of downtown living so that it is now surrounded by other upscale apartment and condominium buildings. However, after the 1970s, the amenities tended to leave the Loop and moved to North Michigan Avenue. It was converted from apartments to condominiums in 1973. Today the building houses a few businesses including the Lakefront Children's Academy and a Segway rental company.

Battle of Puiflijk

The Battle of Puiflijk occurred on 19 October 1794 in the Land van Maas en Waal region of the Netherlands during the Flanders campaign of the War of the First Coalition against Revolutionary France.

The battle took place in three different locations between French troops under the command of general Jean-Charles Pichegru and Coalition forces. The latter, the Allies, consisted of troops from Great Britain and a French Armée des émigrés force under the Prince of Rohan. They were led by the British commander-in-chief Prince Frederick, Duke of York and Albany.

The Allies had fortified themselves in outposts behind the Oude Wetering canal and the dykes of the Maas and Waal rivers. On 18 October 1794, the French crossed the Maas from Teeffelen (near Lithoijen) to Alphen. On 19 October, they attacked the Coalition outposts in three locations: near Appeltern (Blauwe Sluis), Altforst and the Waal dyke near Druten (Puiflijk).

At Blauwe Sluis, the forces of Rohan were pushed back after heavy fighting. In this action, 19 Emigrants were captured. They were brought before a French military court in Ravenstein 21 October 1794, where they were condemned to death and executed for 'treason'. The English forces were driven back in great disorder; in the action on the Waal dyke, the standard of the 37th English infantry regiment was captured by the Sans-culottes.

Mayfeld

Migs Mayfeld is a fictional character in the "Star Wars" franchise who appears in the Disney+ television series "The Mandalorian". He is a former Imperial sharpshooter turned mercenary who leads a crew in an attempt to rescue a prisoner from a New Republic prison transport ship. His team includes the show's protagonist, "The Mandalorian", with whom he repeatedly clashes and ultimately betrays. The Mandalorian outsmarts him, resulting in Mayfeld's arrest and imprisonment, though he is later released so that he can aid the Mandalorian's efforts to rescue Grogu. As a result, the character evolves from a minor antagonist to a viable ally of the Mandalorian, with whom he eventually makes amends during their mission.

Mayfeld is portrayed by actor and comedian Bill Burr, who was not a fan of "Star Wars" and repeatedly mocked the franchise and its fans before he accepted the role. "The Mandalorian" creator Jon Favreau offered the part to Burr, believing his past criticism of the franchise would make his casting that much more amusing. Several reviewers have noted that Mayfeld's sardonic personality and hard-edged sense of humor is similar to Burr's real-life comedic style. Burr was extremely impressed with the filming of "The Mandalorian", complimenting the technical aspects of filming as well as the writing style of the series.

The character of Mayfeld received a generally positive response from reviewers, with many complimenting Burr's performance and the humor the character brought to the series. Reviewers critical of Mayfeld felt the character was flat, underdeveloped, or too incompetent as a mercenary. Mayfeld received a more positive response for his appearance in the second season episode "Chapter 15: The Believer", which explored his character in more depth. Burr received a significant amount of mock outrage from fans for a scene in "Chapter 6: The Prisoner", in which he dropped Grogu, the show's hugely popular breakout character.

COVID-19 pandemic in Malaysia

The COVID-19 pandemic in Malaysia is part of the ongoing worldwide pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 () caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (). The medical response and preparedness to the outbreak in Malaysia are overseen by Director-General of Health Noor Hisham Abdullah under the Health Ministry of two successive governments. The first cases in Malaysia were confirmed among travellers from China in Johor via Singapore on 25 January. While the outbreak was initially limited to imported cases, several local clusters emerged in March 2021. The most notable was a Tablighi Jamaat religious gathering in Kuala Lumpur, which cause a massive spike in local cases and imported cases in neighbouring countries. By the end of March, the total number of cases had risen from below 30 to a staggering 2,000 active cases across every state and federal territory in the country.

At over 750,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases, over 65,000 active cases, and over 5,200 deaths, the country is currently ranked third in the number of cases and deaths due to COVID-19 in Southeast Asia, behind Indonesia and the Philippines.

In response to rising cases, the Malaysian government led by Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin imposed a nationwide lockdown known as Movement Control Order, which came into effect on 18 March 2020. By early May, these MCO lockdowns had led to a gradual decline in daily infections. In response, the Malaysian government progressively relaxed lockdown restrictions in a staggered phase; beginning with the "Conditional Movement Control Order" (CMCO) on 4 May 2020, which allows most business sectors to be reopened under strict standard operating procedures (SOPs), followed by the "Recovery Movement Control Order" (RMCO) on 10 June 2020. The Malaysian government had planned to end RMCO at the end of August 2020 but due to the continuous detection of imported cases, measures were extended until the end of the year, with several sectors remained closed as well as the enforcement of strict travel restrictions from several countries.

The third wave of COVID-19 infections in the country occurred as a result of the Sabah state election in September 2020 and several outbreaks at Top Glove facilities in late 2020. In response to a sharp rise in cases nationwide throughout late 2020 and early 2021, the Malaysian government reinstated CMCO and RMCO restrictions in most states. By January 2021, the crippling effect of COVID-19 on the country's healthcare system led to the reintroduction of MCO restrictions across the various Malaysian states and federal territories, which was extended to February 18 and then to March 4, 2021. A nationwide state of emergency was also declared on 12 January 2021 by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to curb the COVID-19 spread, hence suspending Parliament and State Legislative assemblies and granting the Muhyiddin government emergency powers until 1 August 2021.

Due to a decline in new cases by early March, the government lifted MCO restrictions in most states and federal territories. The COVID-19 vaccination programme in Malaysia also began in late February 2021 as an approach to achieve herd immunity against COVID-19 among its citizens and non-citizens that are residing in the country. Since mid-April 2021, several states with an increase in the number of daily infection cases have been placed under MCO restrictions by the government. With novel SARS-CoV-2 variants detected in Malaysia, exacerbated by a rapid surge in daily COVID-19 case and death numbers in the country, the government reintroduced a nationwide "total lockdown" MCO once more, which began on May 12, 2021.


Rivière aux Rognons

The Rivière aux Rognons ("English: Kidneys River") is a tributary of the northeast shore of the Jeannotte River, flowing in the municipality of Lac-Édouard and the town of La Tuque, in the administrative region of Mauricie, in province, in Quebec, in Canada.

The course of the “Rivière aux Rognons” descends on the west side of the Batiscan River and on the east side of the Saint-Maurice River. This river is part of the hydrographic side of the Batiscan River which generally winds south to the north bank of the St. Lawrence River.

The course of the “Rivière aux Rognons” descends entirely into the forest zone in a territory considered to be an island, taking into account that lac Édouard (Quebec) has two outlets. This island is bounded by the Batiscan River (to the east), the Jeannotte River (to the west) and the Lake Édouard (Quebec) (to the north). The river surface is generally frozen from mid-December until the end of March.

Since the middle of the 19th century, forestry has been the predominant activity of the "Rivière aux Rognons" watershed.

COVID-19 pandemic in Kuwait

The COVID-19 pandemic in Kuwait is part of the worldwide pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 () caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (). The first confirmed case in Kuwait was announced on 24 February 2020.

Kuwait ended the full curfew on 30 May 2020 and started taking steps towards a gradual return to normal life by placing a partial curfew from 6pm until 6am. This step is a first of five with each phase tentatively lasting for 3 weeks which could vary depending on the assessment by the Ministry of Health. Initially, the country started with a voluntary stay at home approach since midnight of 11 March, with the government suspending work across all government sectors except emergency services. All commercial air travel and border travel were suspended since midnight of 14 March 2020 (start of 15 March 2020). Partial curfew was implemented since 22 March 2020 where curfew hours were between 5pm until 4am. This was amended on 6 April, where end of curfew hours were extended from 4am to 6am. With the start of the holy month of Ramadan on 24 April 2020, the partial curfew was further amended to 4pm until 8am with special permissions for deliveries from 5pm until 1am (under strict health code conditions). On 10 May, the country was placed under full curfew based on the assessment of the Ministry of Health, until 31 May 2020. Then again, a curfew of one month was imposed from 5p.m. until 5a.m. starting 7 March 2021 until 8 April 2021, after 1,716 new coronavirus cases were recorded on 4 March 2021.


COVID-19 recession

The COVID-19 recession is an ongoing global economic recession in direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic. This recession is currently the worst global economic crisis since the Great Depression.

Following a global economic slowdown during 2019 that saw stagnation of stock markets and consumer activity, the COVID-19 lockdowns and other precautions taken during the COVID-19 pandemic threw the global economy into crisis. Within seven months, every advanced economy had fallen to recession or depression, while all emerging economies were in recession. Modeling by the World Bank suggests that in some regions a full recovery will not be achieved until 2025 or beyond.

The recession has seen unusually high and rapid increases in unemployment in many countries. By October 2020, more than 10 million unemployment cases had been filed in the United States, swamping state-funded unemployment insurance computer systems and processes. The United Nations (UN) predicted in April 2020 that global unemployment will wipe out 6.7% of working hours globally in the second quarter of 2020—equivalent to 195 million full-time workers. In some countries, unemployment is expected to be at around 10%, with more severely affected nations from the COVID-19 pandemic having higher unemployment rates. Developing countries were also being affected by a drop in remittances, exacerbating COVID-19 pandemic–related famines.

The crisis' onset coincided with the 2020 stock market crash, which saw major indices drop 20 to 30% in late February and March. Recovery began in early April 2020, and many market indices recovered or even set new records by late 2020.

The recession and the 2020 Russia–Saudi Arabia oil price war led to a drop in the price of oil; the collapse of tourism, the hospitality industry, and the energy industry; and a downturn in consumer activity in comparison to the previous decade.

Porphyry Mountain

Porphyry Mountain is a prominent 6,375-foot (1,943 meter) mountain summit located in the Wrangell Mountains, in the U.S. state of Alaska. The peak is situated in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve, immediately southeast of Kennecott, northeast of McCarthy, and, northwest of Sourdough Peak. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into tributaries of the Nizina River, which in turn is part of the Copper River drainage basin. The peak is notable for a rock glacier on its north slope. The mountain was so named because it is largely composed of porphyry, which is a very hard igneous rock. The mountain's local name was reported in 1908 by the U.S. Geological Survey. On a clear day the summit of Porphyry Mountain offers views of Donoho Peak, Kennicott Glacier, and Mount Blackburn to the northwest, and Fireweed Mountain to the west.

Human rights in Nicaragua refer to personable, political and social rights granted to every human in Nicaragua. Nicaragua derives its understanding of human rights from the Constitution of Nicaragua and international law. Nicaragua is a member state of the United Nations which states that fundamental human rights, such as freedom from slavery and freedom of expression, are enabled for all human beings without discrimination.

In 2019, anti-government protests spread across the country in response to the Sandinista National Liberation Front (In Spanish Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional FSLN) government's reforms of the country's social security system. This sparked a response from "parapolicial" groups, the National Police, and monitoring and control groups. Reports state that 328 protesters were killed in the backlash (as of 20 Sep 2019). This brought international attention to enactment of human rights within the country with organisations such as the United Nations and Organization of American States determining the events to be violations of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

COVID-19 pandemic in Vietnam

The COVID-19 pandemic in Vietnam is part of the ongoing worldwide pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 () caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (). , the Ministry of Health has officially reported 17,576 confirmed cases, 7,247 recoveries, and 81 deaths. More than 15 million tests have been performed. Bắc Giang Province, as of July 2021 is the most-affected local with 5,765 confirmed cases and 7 deaths.

On 31 December 2019, China announced the discovery of a cluster of pneumonia cases in Wuhan. The virus was first confirmed to have spread to Vietnam on 23 January 2020, when two Chinese people in Ho Chi Minh City tested positive for the virus. Early cases were primarily imported until local transmission began to develop in February and March. Clusters of cases were later detected in Vĩnh Phúc, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Đà Nẵng and Hải Dương Province, with the first death on 31 July 2020.

Vietnam has suspended the entry of all foreigners from 22 March 2020 until further notice to limit the spread of COVID-19. The measure will not apply to diplomats, officials, foreign investors, experts, and skilled workers. In January 2021, the government announced a stricter quarantine policy to "protect the country" during 2021 Lunar New Year. Entrants entering Vietnam must be isolated for at least 21 days for the unvaccinated and seven days for fully vaccinated at the government's quarantine facilities, only special diplomats identified as such by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would be exempt.

Vietnam is cited by global media as having one of the best-organized epidemic control programs in the world, along the lines of other highlights such as Taiwan and South Korea. This success has been attributed to several key factors, including a well-developed public health system, a decisive central government, and a proactive containment strategy based on comprehensive testing, tracing, and quarantining. Despite inferior economic and technological capacity, the country's response to the outbreak has received widespread international acclaim for its immediacy, effectiveness and transparency, in contrast to censorship in China and the poor preparation in the United States and in European countries.

Although the pandemic has heavily disrupted the country's economy, Vietnam's GDP growth rate still remained one of the highest in Asia-Pacific Region, at 2.91% in 2020 and projected growth of 6.6% in 2021.

Vaccinations commenced on 8 March 2021 with a total of 3,776,980 administered vaccination doses reported by 30 June 2021. So far, the Ministry of Health has approved COVID-19 vaccine from AstraZeneca, Gamaleya, Sinopharm, Pfizer–BioNTech and Moderna for use in emergencies. It expected that a total of 150 million doses would be available by the end of 2021.

He is Professor Emeritus of Biology at Duke University, where in 1966 he co-founded, with John Buettner-Janusch, the Duke Lemur Center (formerly Duke Primate Center). This facility houses the largest living collection of endangered primates in the world.

Peter Klopfer is an Elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (1963) and the Animal Behavior Society (1968). In 1979–80 he received the Humboldt Research Award for his achievements in the field of Sensory and Behavioral Biology.

As a scientist Klopfer has authored, co-authored or edited twenty-five volumes and more than 125 peer-reviewed articles, most in the field of animal behavior. Among other contributions, Klopfer's research helped to establish the link between oxytocin and maternal attachment behavior and to initiate study of neural processes involved in hibernation among primates

As a civil rights advocate Klopfer was jailed in 1964 for protesting segregated restaurant facilities in Orange County, North Carolina. He subsequently became the plaintiff in the 1967 United States Supreme Court case, "Klopfer v. North Carolina," which upheld that the Speedy Trial Clause of the Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution applies to individual states in the same way as it does to the federal government.

As an educator Klopfer and his wife, Martha Smith Klopfer, were among the Quakers who founded Carolina Friends School in 1962. CFS was one of the first schools in the modern South that welcomed children of all races.

The Madonna and Sleeping Child with the Infant St John the Baptist or Il Silenzio ("The Silence") is oil on canvas painting by Annibale Carracci, now in the Royal Collection. It is currently on display in Hampton Court Palace.

It was produced around 1599-1600 whilst he was working on the Palazzo Farnese ceiling paintings in Rome. Intended as a small devotional work, it measures only 51.2 x 68.4 cm. A preparatory sketch for the whole composition survives in black chalk, ink, and pen, whilst John the Baptist's pointing gesture is similar to that of the right-hand putto in the contemporaneous "Pietà", with both paintings using a pyramidical composition. Some pentimenti are visible to X-ray, infra-red reflectography, and the naked eye.

The work was much copied and referenced, most notably around 1605 by Domenichino (Louvre). It was recorded in inventories of the Farnese Collection at Palazzo del Giardino in Parma in 1678 and circa 1680 before being acquired in 1766 for George III by Richard Dalton - Dalton then also owned the black chalk, pen and ink sketch for it. The following year Francis Cotes produced a pastel portrait of George's wife Queen Charlotte holding their daughter Charlotte, Princess Royal and making a gesture similar to the Virgin Mary's in tribute to the acquisition of "Il Silenzio".

Carracci's work was initially hung at Buckingham House, where Francesco Bartolozzi engraved it in 1768. George's son the Prince Regent had Henry Bone produce an enamel-on-copper copy of the work in 1814, whilst the original was on show at Windsor Castle when Charles Wild produced the illustrations for Henry Pyne's "Royal Residences", published in 1819.

GNOME Terminator

GNOME Terminator is an free and open-source terminal emulator for Linux programmed in Python, licensed under GPL-2.0-only. The goal of the project is to produce a useful tool for arranging terminals. It is inspired by programs such as gnome-multi-term, quadkonsole, etc. In that the main focus is arranging terminals in grids (tabs is the most common default method, which Terminator also supports). Terminator exists in default repositories for Arch, Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Gentoo, Snap, FreeBSD. In 2017 took second place in voting at opensource.com, after Gnome Terminal. Terminator is not a fork of GNOME Terminal (this last is written in C), It is a development "from scratch" of Chris Jones, entirely in Python (based on PyGObject to interact with the desktop environment and Python VTE providing a GUI component terminal), but much of the "behavior" of Terminator is based on GNOME Terminal:... Terminator began by copying code from the vte-demo.py in the vte widget package, and the gedit terminal plugin (which was useful for authors at figuring out vte's API).

In July 2013, Steve Boddy is the successor to Jones and takes the lead of the project.

The support GTK3+ starts as soon as the end of 2012. The first version supporting GTK3+ is published by the end of 2016.

In April 2020 the project started moving to GitHub, as a fork, due to the lack of activity in Launchpad

Features:

* Arrange terminals in a grid-like structure
* Tabs
* Drag and drop re-ordering of terminals
* Lots of keyboard shortcuts
* Save multiple layouts and profiles via GUI preferences editor
* Simultaneous typing to arbitrary groups of terminals
*Ability to hide a scrollbar
* Extensible through plugins


Halbleiterwerk Frankfurt (Oder)

VEB Halbleiterwerk Frankfurt (Oder) (abbreviated HFO or HWF) was the largest manufacturer of semiconductor devices in the German Democratic Republic. In 1989, HFO produced 110 million integrated circuits (70% of all integrated circuits produced in the GDR in that year), 9.7 million transistors, and 150 million transistor chips. Despite this, HFO did not rise to prominence like Zentrum Mikroelektronik Dresden (of "megabit chip" fame) or VEB Mikroelektronik "Karl Marx" Erfurt (known for its microprocessors). Also unlike Zentrum Mikroelektronik Dresden and VEB Mikroelektronik "Karl Marx" Erfurt, HFO did not survive long after German Reunification.


A Misfortune

"A Misfortune", sometimes translated "Misfortune" (), is an 1886 story by Anton Chekhov. First published in "Novoye Vremya", the story concerns Sofya Petrovna, the young wife of a country notary, whose attempts to turn away a suitor only expose her own desire for him and drive her toward an affair. The main theme is sexual enthrallment, a frequent concern in Chekhov's work during this period.


Modest Isopescu

Modest Isopescu (30 November 1895 – 17 October 1948) was an Austro-Hungarian-born Romanian officer, administrator and convicted war criminal.

Born in Frătăuții Vechi, in Austrian-ruled Bukovina, he entered the Austro-Hungarian Army in 1916 with the rank of reserve second lieutenant, and fought in World War I. He was promoted to captain in the Romanian Land Forces in 1923, he was advanced to major in 1934 and lieutenant colonel in 1939.

Romania entered World War II in June 1941 at the onset of Operation Barbarossa, under the Ion Antonescu regime. At that point, Isopescu was commander of a battalion in the gendarmerie, part of the Romanian 4th Army. He entered Chișinău with his battalion in July 1941, and in August he established a gendarmerie outpost in Bălți. He filled this position until October, when he was named prefect of Golta County in Transnistria Governorate. He remained as such until March 1944; meanwhile, at the end of 1942, he was transferred to the reserves. Under Isopescu's administration, the Golta district became a veritable "kingdom of death" for the Jews deported there.

In January 1945, several months after Antonescu was deposed in King Michael's Coup of August 1944, the Romanian government ordered the arrest of 65 persons, including Isopescu, for the "national disaster". Charged with war crimes, he was sentenced to death by the Bucharest People's Tribunal on 22 May. On 1 June this was commuted to hard labour for life. He died at Aiud Prison in 1948, of cancer and a liver abscess.

Gettysburg National Military Park

The Gettysburg National Military Park protects and interprets the landscape of the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War. Located in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, the park is managed by the National Park Service. The GNMP properties include most of the Gettysburg Battlefield, many of the battle's support areas during the battle (e.g., reserve, supply, and hospital locations), and several other non-battle areas associated with the battle's "aftermath and commemoration", including the Gettysburg National Cemetery. Many of the park's 43,000 American Civil War artifacts are displayed in the Gettysburg Museum and Visitor Center.

The park has more wooded land than in 1863, and the National Park Service has an ongoing program to restore portions of the battlefield to their historical non-wooded conditions, as well as to replant historic orchards and woodlots that are now missing. In addition, the NPS is restoring native plants to meadows and edges of roads, to encourage habitat as well as provide for historic landscape. There are also considerably more roads and facilities for the benefit of tourists visiting the battlefield park.

Attendance in 2018 was 950,000, a decline of 86% since 1970. The five major Civil War battlefield parks operated by the National Park Service (Gettysburg, Antietam, Shiloh, Chickamauga/Chattanooga and Vicksburg) had a combined 3.1 million visitors in 2018, down 70% from 10.2 million in 1970.

The park was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1966.


Enamelin

Enamelin is an enamel matrix protein (EMPs), that in humans is encoded by the "ENAM" gene. It is part of the non-amelogenins, which comprise 10% of the total enamel matrix proteins. It is one of the key proteins thought to be involved in amelogenesis (enamel development). The formation of enamel's intricate architecture is thought to be rigorously controlled in ameloblasts through interactions of various organic matrix protein molecules that include: enamelin, amelogenin, ameloblastin, tuftelin, dentine sialophosphoprotein, and a variety of enzymes. Enamelin is the largest protein (~168kDa) in the enamel matrix of developing teeth and is the least abundant (encompasses approximately 1-5%) of total enamel matrix proteins. It is present predominantly at the growing enamel surface.


Wright Valley

The Wright Valley, named for Sir Charles Wright, is the central one of the three large Dry Valleys in the Transantarctic Mountains, located west of McMurdo Sound at approximately . Wright Valley contains the Onyx River, the longest river in Antarctica, Lake Brownworth, the origin of Onyx River, and Lake Vanda, which is fed by the Onyx River. Its southwestern branch, "South Fork", is the location of Don Juan Pond. The upland area known as the Labyrinth is at the valley's west end.

Although portions of the interconnected valley system were discovered in 1903 by the Discovery expedition led by Captain Scott, the Wright Valley located near the centre of the system was not seen until aerial photographs of the region were made in 1947.
By the mid 1960s scientists were becoming increasingly intrigued by the paradoxical fact that the valley lay immediately adjacent to the permanent East Antarctic Ice Sheet, yet had remained ice-free for at least thousands of years. Although Lake Vanda is covered by roughly of ice year-round, lake temperatures of had been reliably measured at a depth of .

Increasing summer field activity and a clear need to establish a winter record led New Zealand's Antarctic Division and the National Science Foundation of the United States to plan a more permanent base in the Valley. In 1968 New Zealand established Vanda Station near the eastern end of Lake Vanda.

Martin Cirque occupies the south wall of Wright Valley between Denton Glacier and Nichols Ridge.
