title: Nahj al-Balagha

text: Nahj al-Balagha ( "", 'The Path of Eloquence') is the best-known collection of sermons, letters, and sayings attributed to Ali ibn Abi Talib, fourth Rashidun Caliph, first Shia Imam and the cousin and son-in-law of the Islamic prophet, Muhammad. It was collected by al-Sharif al-Radi, a renowned Shia scholar in the tenth century AD (fourth century AH). Known for its moral aphorisms and eloquent content, "Nahj al-Balagha" is widely studied in the Islamic world and has considerably influenced the field of Arabic literature and rhetoric. Ibn Abil-Hadid, the author of an in-depth commentary on the book, believes that "Nahj al-Balagha" is "above the words of men and below the words of God." The authenticity of "Nahj al-Balagha" has long been the subject of lively polemic debates, though recent scholarship suggests that most of the content can indeed be attributed to Ali.


title: Nahj al-Balagha

text: "Nahj al-Balagha" is a collection of more than 200 sermons, nearly 80 letters, and almost 500 sayings.


title: Nahj al-Balagha

text: The sermons and letters in "Nahj al-Balagha" offer a commentary on Ali's political career and have served as an ideological basis for Islamic governance. Notably, Ali's letter of instructions to the governor of Egypt has been viewed as a model of just Islamic governance, "where justice and mercy is shown to human beings irrespective of class, creed and color, where poverty is neither a stigma or disqualification and where justice is not tarred with nepotism, favoritism, provincialism or religious fanaticism." In particular, "Nahj al-Balagha" includes an in-depth discussion of social responsibilities, emphasizing that greater responsibilities result in greater rights. "Nahj al-Balagha" also contains more sensitive material, including criticism of Ali's predecessors in its Shaqshaqiya Sermon, and disapproval of Talha and Zubayr, who took up arms against Ali in the Battle of the Camel. "Nahj al-Balagha" remains at the heart of the ongoing clerical debate about the role and status of women in modern societies.


title: Nahj al-Balagha

text: "Nahj al-Balagha" also contains passages about morality and doctrine, notably about the sovereignty of God and the significance of the Quran and Muhammad. The letter of life advices, addressed to Ali's eldest son, Hasan, has received considerable attention.


title: Nahj al-Balagha

text: "Nahj al-Balagha" has been the focus of numerous commentaries, translations, and studies by both Sunni and Shia scholars. The commentary written by the Mu'tazila scholar Ibn Abil-Hadid remains the most important. With its eight volumes, this commentary has amplified the influence of "Nahj al-Balagha" on theological speculation, philosophical thought, and literally scope, according to Shah-Kazemi.


title: Nahj al-Balagha

text: The compilation of "Nahj al-Balagha" is often credited to al-Sharif al-Razi, a renowned tenth-century Shia scholar, over three hundred years after Ali. In view of its sometimes sensitive content, the attribution of this book to Ali or al-Sharif has long been the subject of Sunni-Shia debates, as with the majority of the works about Shia theology. Ibn Khallikan might have been the first to question the authenticity of the book in the thirteenth century and his view has been echoed by most Sunni authors to date. On the other hand, the Mu'tazila scholar Ibn Abil-Hadid, who authored a major commentary on "Nahj al-Balagha", has no doubts that it is the work of Ali and compiled by al-Sharif.


title: Nahj al-Balagha

text: "Nahj al-Balagha" is regarded by the Shia as authentic. According to the Shia scholar Motahhari, in compiling the book, al-Sharif was primarily interested in the literary value of Ali's inheritance. As a result, Motahhari continues, al-Sharif preserved those passages which he found literary valuable and paid little attention to recording his sources. After al-Sharif, other scholars took up the task of collecting the chains of transmission ("isnads") for "Nahj al-Balagha". For instance, Muhammad Baqir al-Mahmudi collected all of Ali's extant speeches, sermons, decrees, epistles, prayers, and sayings. Motahhari adds that this collection includes the content of "Nahj al-balagha" and other discourses which were not incorporated by al-Sharif or were not available to him. According to Motahhari, except for some aphorisms, the contents of "Nahj al-Balaghah" have over time been traced back to Ali.


title: Nahj al-Balagha

text: In support of Ali's authorship, some of the material in "Nahj al-Balagha" is also listed in "al-Fihrist" or can be found in earlier works attributed to Ali. More recently, Veccia Vaglieri verified that a large portion of "Nahj al-Balagha" can indeed be attributed to Ali, although it was difficult to gauge the authenticity of the more apocryphal sections. Djebli has been able to identify a considerable number of passages, accompanied by chains of transmission dating back to the time of Ali, which were recounted by ancient scholars, such as al-Tabari. In his book, Modarressi, an expert in Islamic law, refers to "Madarek-e Nahj al-Balagha" by the Shia scholar Ostadi which, in turn, links "Nahj al-Balagha" to Ali. Another notable work was done by the Indian Sunni scholar Imtiyaz Ali Arshi, who succeeded in tracing back the early sources of 106 sermons, 37 letters and 79 dispersed sayings of Ali in his book "Istinad-e Nahj al-balaghah", originally written in Urdu, subsequently translated into Arabic in 1957, then into English and Persian.


title: Nahj al-Balagha

text: "Nahj al-Balagha" was most likely compiled by al-Sharif, who also referred to it in his later works. There is also strong circumstantial evidence that al-Sharif was compiling pieces from earlier sources as he came across them rather than composing them himself. It has been noted that al-Sharif's writing style is different from that of Ali. In particular, Ibn Abil-Hadid reports the following exchange between his teacher, al-Wasiti, and al-Wasiti's teacher, Ibn Khashab:


title: Nahj al-Balagha

text: Sarwar and Mohamed (2021) used computational methods, mainly stylometric analysis and machine learning, to examine the authenticity of Nahj Al-Balagha. They compared the texts in the book against those by Sharif Radhi and Sharif Murtadha and concluded that the book is internally consistent, which indicates that it can be attributed to a single author, the book was not authored by Sharif Radhi, and the book was not authored by Sharif Myrtadha. These conclusions indicate that the book content was most probably produced by Imam Ali.

title: Alive 2007

text: In early 2006, Daft Punk announced a number of shows. On 29 April, they performed at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in California, their first US performance since 1997. Thomas Bangalter initially suggested there would be a DVD release of the show, but later said he felt amateur footage shared online was more compelling. Daft Punk later announced shows at Bercy, Paris, Wireless Festival and RockNess in June 2007, the Oxegen festival in July and Lollapalooza in August.


title: Alive 2007

text: Daft Punk announced a world tour, Alive 2007. They played at the RockNess Festival by the banks of Loch Ness, Scotland, on 10 June 2007 as the headline act in the 10,000 capacity Clash tent. Part of the tent was removed to allow thousands of people outside to see the show. On 16 June, Daft Punk headlined the third day of the O2 Wireless Festival. Daft Punk headlined Stage 2/NME Stage at the Oxegen music festival on 8 July 2007. Their live set was preceded by a showing of the trailer for the film "Daft Punk's Electroma". Four days later, the duo played at Traffic Torino Free Festival in Parco della Pellerina in Turin, Italy.


title: Alive 2007

text: Daft Punk headlined the AT&T stage on 3 August 2007, the first night of the Lollapalooza music festival in Chicago. Their show there was praised by "Pitchfork", which wrote that it "was a much-needed reminder of the still-potent power of communicative pop." On 5 August, Daft Punk performed at the International Centre in Toronto followed by a 9 August performance at KeySpan Park in Brooklyn, New York. They headlined the Vegoose festival in Las Vegas on 27 October, along with Rage Against the Machine, Muse and Queens of the Stone Age. At the end of October, Daft Punk performed in Mexico City. They also performed on Friday 2 November 2007 at the Arena Monterrey in Monterrey, Mexico and Guadalajara.


title: Alive 2007

text: Modular Records announced that Daft Punk would appear in Australia for an event in December 2007 called Never Ever Land. Daft Punk were supported by their regular acts SebastiAn and Kavinsky at the appearances, which had been announced as an extension to the "Alive 2007" tour. Never Ever Land toured to Melbourne at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl, Perth at the Esplanade, Brisbane at the Riverstage and finally Sydney at the Sydney Showground Main Arena. A Triple J interview with Pedro Winter (Busy P) revealed that Daft Punk's Sydney appearance on 22 December would be their final show for 2007 and the last to feature the pyramid light scheme. Tickets for the Australian tour sold more quickly than for any Daft Punk-related event in their history.


title: Alive 2007

text: For the 2007 shows, Daft Punk added the tracks "Burnin'" and "Phœnix" and an encore. Bangalter explained that the 2006 sets were initially designed for performances within larger festivals, but later refined to accommodate Daft Punk shows, saying "The goal was to try and bring a complete global experience to the audience." The introduction for the live show featured the five-note sequence used in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind".


title: Alive 2007

text: For the performances, Daft Punk used Ableton Live software on "custom made supercomputers" controlled remotely with Behringer BCR2000 MIDI controllers and JazzMutant Lemur touchscreen pads. They also used Minimoog Voyager RME units, which, with the mixers, allowed them to "mix, shuffle, trigger loops, filter, distort samples, EQ in and out, transpose or destroy and deconstruct synth lines". The majority of the equipment was stored within offstage towers during the performances.


title: Alive 2007

text: The tour visuals were set up by XL Video. The company provided eight-core Mac Pro units running Catalyst v4 and Final Cut Pro. Daft Punk approached the company with their visual concept for the shows. "They came to us with a pretty fixed idea of what they wanted", said head of XL Video, Richard Burford. "They wanted to mix live video with effects. Using the eight-core Mac Pros, we were able to take in eight digital sources and treat them as video streams. Then they could use Catalyst to coordinate the video with lighting effects and add their own effects in on the fly. The final digital video streams ran to LED screens."


title: Alive 2007

text: The Alive 2007 tour was acclaimed. "The Times" described the set as a "memorable sensory spectacle, both dazzling and deafening" and "ThisisLondon" declared it "an almost faultless set of relentless electro euphoria". "NME" wrote that the performance was "a robotic spectacular", while Shoutmouth described the set as "typically triumphant". The tour is credited for bringing dance music to a wider audience, especially in North America. The "Guardian" journalist Gabriel Szatan likened it to the Beatles' 1964 performance on "The Ed Sullivan Show", which brought British rock and roll to the American mainstream.


title: Alive 2007

text: On the review aggregator Metacritic, "Alive 2007" has a score of 78 out of 100, indicating "generally favourable reviews." "Pitchfork" regarded it as "the Ultimate Daft Punk Mixtape", finding that songs from "Human After All" had been "constantly improved and born anew" for the live set. The sentiment was also shared by AllMusic, stating that "It has the feel of a greatest-hits-live concert, but energized by Daft Punk's talents at weaving songs in and out of each other." AllMusic considered it weaker than "Alive 1997". A review by "The Star" noted that the release and Daft Punk's concurrent tours restored the duo's reputation following the mixed reception for "Human After All". The use of music from "Human After All", which had received mixed reviews, prompted critics to reconsider the album. The album won the Grammy Award for Best Electronic/Dance Album in 2009.


title: Alive 2007

text: Dave de Sylvia of Sputnikmusic gave "Alive 2007" a score of four stars out of five and said, "Despite a few individual disappointments, "Alive 2007" is as exciting a collection of music as any released this year." "Entertainment Weekly" felt that the live crowd enhanced the positive mood of the performance. "Rolling Stone" stated that "Alive 2007" "loses some of the essential experience" of attending the live Daft Punk events. "The Boston Phoenix" also felt that the album package would have benefited from more video content, expressing that a key factor of the live show was its implementation of visual elements. In his first positive review for a Daft Punk album, Robert Christgau believed that a full video representation was avoided because "too much scale, flesh and bodily effluvia would be lost." Thomas Bangalter expressed his reasons of not releasing a DVD by stating "the thousands of clips on the internet are better to us than any DVD that could have been released."


title: Alive 2007

text: On 3 December 2008, "Alive 2007" and its single "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" received Grammy Awards nominations for Best Electronic/Dance Album and Best Dance Recording, respectively. Both the album and the single were announced as winners during the 51st Grammy Awards pre-telecast ceremony.


title: Hot Wheels Unleashed

text: Hot Wheels Unleashed is a 2021 racing video game developed and published by Milestone based on Mattel's "Hot Wheels" toyline. The game was released on September 30, 2021 for the Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and Microsoft Windows. Versions for Amazon Luna and Stadia were made available in July and September 2022, respectively.


title: Hot Wheels Unleashed

text: "Hot Wheels Unleashed" is a racing game played from a third-person perspective. In the game, the player assumes control of vehicles from the "Hot Wheels" franchise, and races against other opponents in miniature tracks set in various everyday locations and environments, such as a garage, kitchen, and bedroom. The vehicles featured in the game can be extensively customized. 66 different cars were available at launch. The game also features a career mode, a time trial, and a track editor. The game supports up to 12 players in an online session, though players can also compete with another player in a local split-screen multiplayer mode.


title: Hot Wheels Unleashed

text: The game was developed by Italian developer Milestone, the company behind the "MotoGP" games and the "Ride" series, and marks the first console game based around the property since 2013 Milestone pitched the idea to Mattel in 2018 although they didn't expect them to take up the offer. Milestone desired to create such a game after realizing that although they specialized in sim racers that was a "niche of the niche" and the racing genre itself was quite crowded with lead game designer, Federico Cardini telling Polygon "could we make a game to the level of, I don’t know, "Gran Turismo"? Technically speaking, yes. Should we go head to head with "Gran Turismo"? That does not sound like a great idea." The game uses a physics system similar from Milestone's other games, heavily modified so that the cars would be able to perform stunts the series is known for. The team wanted to base the gameplay on physics because they felt that many other Arcade racers felt "scripted" with the cars not reacting to the player's action.


title: Hot Wheels Unleashed

text: According to Cardini, the development team desired to accurately replicate Hot Wheels vehicles to a "1:1 ratio" in the game. Using this method, the team added in many subtle details to the cars and maps. Cardini described the in-game garage as the "inspiration to the entire game", noting its many characteristics.


title: Hot Wheels Unleashed

text: The game was officially announced on February 25, 2021. The game released on September 30, 2021 for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X and Series S. Milestone also had plans to support the game extensively with downloadable content upon launch. A version for Amazon Luna was made available on July 21, 2022. On September 29, 2022, a "Game of the Year" edition containing all of the downloadable content was released for all available platforms alongside Stadia.


title: Hot Wheels Unleashed

text: According to review aggregator Metacritic, the PC and PlayStation 5 versions received "generally favorable" reviews, while the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox Series X versions received "mixed or average" reviews.

Tony suspects Johnny seized the whole shipment for himself and sends Benny and a member of Carlo's crew to the port to investigate. They brutally interrogate a security guard, who tells them that Phil took the scooters. A shipment of expensive Italian cheeses is coming in; fearing more financial losses, Tony loses his temper in front of his crew.

Smiling to himself, he leaves.


title: Back-to-back film production

text: Filming back-to-back is the practice of filming two or more movies as one production, reducing costs and time.


title: Back-to-back film production

text: Trilogies are common in the film industry, particularly in science fiction, fantasy, action, horror, thriller, and adventure genres. Production companies may choose, if the first film is a financial success, to green-light a second and a third film at the same time and film them back-to-back. In a case where a lengthy novel is split into multiple installments for its film adaptation, those installments will usually be filmed back-to-back.


title: Back-to-back film production

text: In modern filmmaking, employment is now project-based, transitory, and "based on a film[,] not a firm." Almost all participants in the industry are freelancers, who move easily from one project to the next and do not have much loyalty to any particular studio, as long as they get paid.


title: Back-to-back film production

text: This differs from the old studio system, a form of mass production in which a studio owned all the means of production (that is, reusable physical assets like sound stages, costumes, sets, and props) and carried large numbers of cast and crew on its payroll under long-term contracts. Under the old system, "a producer had a commitment to make six to eight films per year with a fairly identifiable staff." Under the new system which replaced it after 1955, filmmaking became a "short-term film-by-film arrangement" in which a producer is expected to assemble an entirely new cast and crew for each project, and rent the means of production from contractors only as needed. To borrow a factory analogy, studios transitioned from using a single assembly line with an integrated staff to continuously churn out one film after another to building and disassembling separate assembly lines (each with its own unique staff) for every single film.


title: Back-to-back film production

text: The advantage of the current system is that film studios no longer have to bother either with paying people who are not involved in a current film production, or with green-lighting films very frequently so as to efficiently exploit sunk costs in their human resources. Studios shifted from a emphasis on "speed in production" to "more cooperative pre-shooting planning." But now, when they want a particular person for a film, that person may be unavailable because they are already committed to another film for another production company for that particular time slot. In turn, for every single film, studios (and ultimately their investors, shareholders, or backers) end up bearing massive transaction costs because they not only have to get the right person at the right price, but at the right time, and if they cannot get that person, they have to scramble to locate a satisfactory substitute. All successful directors and producers have certain favorite cast and crew members whom they prefer to work with, but that is of no help to the studio if that perfect character actor, costume designer, or music composer is already fully booked. Compared to the previous system, directors and stars spend a much "larger part of their time negotiating each new film deal."


title: Back-to-back film production

text: Therefore, if a film does well at the box office and appears to have established a winning formula with a particular cast, crew and storyline, one way to minimize these transaction costs on sequels is to reassemble as much of the team as soon as possible (before anyone dies, retires, or commits to other possible scheduling conflicts) and sign them to a single production that will be edited, released, and promoted as multiple films. This also minimizes the problem of stars visibly aging between sequels that do not have significant time gaps written in between them.


title: Back-to-back film production

text: The pioneer of modern back-to-back filmmaking was producer Alexander Salkind, who decided during the filming of "The Three Musketeers" (1973) to split the project in two; the second film was released as "The Four Musketeers" (1974). The cast was quite unhappy to be informed after the fact they had been working on two films, not one. As a result, the Screen Actors Guild introduced the "Salkind clause," which specifies that actors will be paid for each film they make. Salkind and his son Ilya went on to produce "Superman" and "Superman II" back to back.


title: Karaiskakis Stadium

text: The Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium (), commonly referred to as the Karaiskakis Stadium (, ), is a football stadium in Piraeus, Attica, Greece, and the home ground of the Piraeus football club Olympiacos. With a capacity of 32,115, it is the second largest only football stadium and the third largest football stadium overall in Greece. It is named after Georgios Karaiskakis, a military commander of the Greek War of Independence, who is considered a national hero and was mortally wounded in the area.


title: Karaiskakis Stadium

text: It was used during the Athens 1896 Summer Olympics, as the Neo Phaliron Velodrome, where Frenchman Paul Masson took the three track cycling gold medals.


title: Karaiskakis Stadium

text: It was renovated during the 1960s and hosted the European Winners' Cup Final of 1970–1971, the first European football Final that held in Greece, between Chelsea and Real Madrid. First leg 1-1, second 2-1 and Chelsea won the trophy. The stadium was completely rebuilt in 2004 into a 32,115 capacity, all seater stadium, ready for the football competition of the 2004 Summer Olympics.


title: Karaiskakis Stadium

text: The stadium was totally demolished and built again from the beginning, facing a different direction. This complete reconstruction took a record time of only 14 months, finishing just in time for the Olympic Games.


title: Karaiskakis Stadium

text: After the last deal ended in 1998, Olympiacos is using the stadium once again, on a 49-year lease from 2003 until 2052 and is traditionally identified as the club's true home. In 2002, the president and owner of Olympiacos Socratis Kokkalis, when announced the project to rebuild Karaiskakis, expressed his wish for the new stadium to be also used by Ethnikos, if they wanted, as Karaiskakis is the historic home of Ethnikos OFPF and Atromitos Piraeus and Olympiacos SFP . Therefore, in the contract signed by the Hellenic Olympic Committee, the owner of the stadium, and Olympiacos, a clause was included, stating that should Ethnikos wish to return to the stadium, they may do so without sharing any significant maintenance or other stadium-related costs, as those are covered by Olympiacos. As of the 2010/11 season though, Ethnikos has not yet opted to do so.


title: Karaiskakis Stadium

text: The ticket sales average higher than any team's in recent decades for the Super League Greece history (rarely have they dropped under the 5,000 mark) and are not expected to drop in the foreseeable future.


title: Karaiskakis Stadium

text: Sales for national team matches had also been higher, but this was for the most part due to Greece's success in the Euro 2004. As of 2008 and after Greece's disappointing Euro 2008 performance, the attendance of national team matches dropped drastically, leading the Ministry of Sport to change the venue to Heraklion, Crete.


title: Karaiskakis Stadium

text: In June 2005, Karaiskakis stadium hosted a movie theatre ("Ciné Karaiskakis") with a cinema screen that is 20 m long and 10 m wide, operating daily between 9 and 11 p.m. (6 and 8 p.m. UTC) and later, every weekend. The movie screen featured movies including "Batman Begins" and others. The stadium operated as a movie theatre for the last time on Saturday 13 August 2005.


title: Karaiskakis Stadium

text: Twenty-one supporters of Olympiacos died in "Gate 7" (Θύρα 7) of the stadium, after a game between Olympiacos and AEK Athens FC (that ended 6–0), on 8 February 1981; an incident widely known as the Karaiskaki Stadium disaster. In memory of this event, at the tribune where Gate 7 is now, twenty-one seats are black colored instead of red, shaping the number "7". A monument on the eastern side of the stadium bears the names of the twenty-one supporters killed on that day in the stadium.


title: Karaiskakis Stadium

text: Karaiskakis Stadium is classified as a 4-star football stadium by the UEFA organisation, allowing it to host the UEFA Europa League Final if chosen. It hosts 40 VIP lounges and suites, that can hold up to 474 persons, a press conference hall, that can hold up to 130 seats, 200 seats for press and media coverage, an entire shopping mall, with restaurants, cafés, retail and clothing stores and a gym.


title: Karaiskakis Stadium

text: The stadium also hosts Olympiacos Museum, dedicated not only to the history of the football club, but to the history of all the departments of the multiple European title-winning multi-sport club Olympiacos CFP. There are 10 automated ticket selling machines around the stadium enabling reservations through the internet or by phone. There is no extra charge for the parking area, which takes up to 1,000 cars. Due to its design, the stadium's tribunes have the ability to empty within 7 minutes. The stadium also has restaurants and stores opened during concerts and games and sometimes open with the daily general timetable of most Greek stores and shops.


title: Karaiskakis Stadium

text: The stadium is easily accessed through the Athens Mass Transit System, at the station "Faliro", which is less than five minutes from the "Piraeus" station, and about 15 minutes from Athens city centre, at the "Omonia" square station and also through Athens driving routes, which is 8 km, about 15 minutes from downtown Athens.

title: Zastava Automobiles

text: Zastava Automobiles (/"Zastava Automobili") was a Serbian international car manufacturer, a subsidiary of Group Zastava Vehicles which went bankrupt in May 2017.


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: After many decades of producing different car and truck models under the Zastava brand, the company ceased all vehicle production in 2008. Since then, a new company, Fiat Automobili Srbija has taken over the Zastava Automobiles facilities, after extensive reconstruction and renovation.


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: Initially, Zastava was widely known for its locally built versions of the Fiat 128 and Fiat 600, and latterly the Zastava 102 - based on the Fiat 127.


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: During the 1980s, Zastava sold its compact cars in North and South America and Western Europe under the "Yugo" brand, competing in the budget segment of the market alongside other Eastern European brands such as Lada and Skoda. Its final model, the Yugo Sana, was styled by Italian designer Giorgetto Giugiaro and launched in 1988, but its production was cut short by the Yugoslav wars. By the same time the Yugo brand had disappeared from most Western markets by 1991 or 1992. In 1999, the factory was damaged by NATO bombing during the Kosovo War.


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: The post-Yugoslav era has been difficult for Zastava, just as most of the other major companies based in Serbia, which suffered from hyperinflation, international sanctions, and economic mismanagement. As a result, production almost stopped and the company failed to introduce new models for a long time.


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: In September 2005, the company signed a new agreement with Fiat to produce a version of the 2003 model Fiat Punto for the Balkans under the name Zastava 10, with a capacity of 16,000 units annually.


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: The roots of Zastava lay in the 1851 founding in Kragujevac of the "Vojno-Tehnicki Zavod" (Military Technical Institute). The institute developed a cannon foundry division in 1853, becoming a military vocational school in March 1854. During the 1880s, Zastava also begin with the production of firearms. At the end of the 19th century the cannon foundry changed its name to the Military Engineering Works. The firm rapidly expanded its production program and the complexity and quality of its products. That original company is now known as Zastava Arms.


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: In 1904, within the company, a section dedicated to automobiles is inaugurated. Beside repair services, certain car parts are also manufactured. In 1939 it begins assembling Chevrolet military trucks. Production came to a halt in 1941 with the Axis invasion of Yugoslavia and by then, 400 trucks came out of the factory which consisted of a working force of 12,000 men.


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: After World War II, the plant was renamed "Zavodi Crvena Zastava" ("Red Flag Factories"). In a referendum held on August 26, 1953, 96% of the employees of then "Zavodi Crvena Zastava" voiced their desire to produce automobiles. That year, 162 Willys Jeeps would leave the Kragujevac factory.


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: On 12 August 1954 Zastava signed a cooperation agreement with Fiat. Three months later, Kragujevac began assembling the Fiat 1400, 1100 B and AR-55 Campagnola.


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: Fiat 1400 was Zastava's first assembled automobile, but "Fića" Zastava's licence built version of Fiat 600 is its iconic historical brand. 923,487 of Zastava 750 were produced over a span of 30 years, with several different engines and in various equipment levels, from 18 October 1955 to 18 November 1985.


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: Total vehicle production in 1955 was 1,044 and by 1958 it had risen to 3,596. During 1957 and 1958 Zastava established a supplier network. Zastava outsourced engine manufacture to Rakovica-based "21. Maj" (DMB).


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: Zastava's annual production climbed to 13,719 units in 1960. The company entered the new decade with a replacement for the 1400: Fiat's 1100, shown in Geneva as the successor to the 1100 B.


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: With the advent of the 1961 Fiat 1300/1500 came Zastava's 1300/1500 series, produced as both sedans and wagons. With all-around disc brakes, rear-wheel drive and up to 72 horsepower, the "tristać" was Yugoslavia's favorite upmarket car. Today, many across the former Yugoslavia recall the 1300 as Zastava's best automobile ever: the "Jugoslovenski Mercedes "as they call it. 201,160 copies of the 1300 and 1500 were produced from 1961 to 20 December 1979.


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: The Fića had started life as the 633 cc Fiat 600, designed by legendary Fiat engineer Dante Giacosa. In 1962, Zastava began production of the Fiat 600D, badged Zastava 750, boasting an 767 cc engine capable of propelling the car to .


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: The floorpan of the 1300/1500 was used as the basis for the Polski Fiat 125p, which was produced by Polish FSO from Zastava CKD kits. The 125p was created by mating the body of the Fiat 125 to the mechanicals (engines, gearbox, transmission and suspension) of the 1300 and 1500. On the Yugoslav market, the 125p was known as the Zastava 125PZ.


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: Zastava in this decade signed a new contract expanding production and technological cooperation with Fiat. A $10 million investment pushed annual capacity to 85,000, with plans in place to reach 130,000 units within a five-year period.


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: In 1969, the "Zastava Kamioni" (Zastava Trucks) division split from Zastava Automobili and began producing Italy's Om trucks, rated for between 2.5 and 4 tons. Today, Zastava Kamioni continues to make trucks through a partnership with Iveco.


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: In 1970, Zastava launched the 750M, fitted with a new 767 cc engine boasting a thermostat-controlled pressurised cooling system.


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: In the beginning of the 1970s Zastava made arrangement with Fiat to produce Zastava 101 (4 cyl, 1116 cc OHC, 55 hp, front wheel drive), which was based on Fiat 128. It had restyled rear panel and resembled a hatchback body style. This 3 and 5 door variant of Fiat 128 was specific to Zastava and was never released elsewhere by Fiat.


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: It was said that model 101 should be produced in Yugoslavia for both the Yugoslav and Italian markets, and vice versa, in the Italian market would have been sold under the marque Innocenti. It was soon nicknamed "Stojadin" as a pun on "sto jedan" (101) (Stojadin is a male name, although folk etymology also associates it with "sto jada", "a hundred woes", due to the poor performance and assembly). In spite of this negative record, the car was a good seller in the domestic market as there was a virtual monopoly. Yugoslavs used to buy it because of its moderate price, simple mechanics, cheap spare parts and low maintenance cost compared to other cars assembled in Yugoslavia.


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: In 1979, Zastava 750S – "(Special)" was released which offered updated interior controls and switches, a new steering wheel and a sportier engine which raised the car's top speed to .


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: In 1980, the Zastava 850 was launched, with a 848 cc engine propelling it to and a fully synchronized transaxle. Production of the 750 and 850 continued until 1985 in L, LE and SC versions.


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: In the mid-seventies, Zastava management decided to develop a new model, still based on the same Fiat engine. It was originally to be known as Zastava 102, but the name was dropped in 1981 and the car released as Yugo 45. It was styled by Zastava with some help from Fiat engineers. It was a shortened Fiat 128 and it followed the style of the Fiat 127 and Autobianchi A112 but with a more square appearance. Several variants were made, with 903 cc, 1116 cc, and 1301 cc engines.


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: In 1981, Zastava entered the British market. 811 cars were registered that year, with sales increasing to 3,101 in 1982, their first full year. In 1983, export sales accounted for over a sixth of Zastava's production. Later in the 1980s, Yugo was exported to USA and at the same time it went through several modifications, most importantly the adoption of a five-speed gearbox. In the same decade, Zastava changed its branding name to Yugo and derivative models were renamed: original Zastava Yugo to Zastava Koral and Zastava 101/128 to Zastava Skala or Yugo Skala. The original numerical classification would remain unchanged for some export markets, as for the United Kingdom.


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: These were Zastava's best years in number of cars assembled; around 230,000 cars a year towards the end of decade. Zastava cars were to be sold in 70 countries at the time, with 27,000 exported to Western markets. The factory also started to make trucks, under a IVECO licence.


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: In 1988 a new model was released called the Zastava Florida (known as Yugo Sana or Yugo Sana Miami, in some countries). Its exterior was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, with a body shape similar to a Fiat Tipo (1988) or Citroën ZX (1991).


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: In the early 1990s, Zastava was affected greatly by the breakup of Yugoslavia. The factory production became unstable because of a problem with supplies. Exports were impossible during those years, because of trade sanctions imposed on Yugoslavia. As a result, its cars disappeared from most foreign markets after 1992. Production stopped in 1993, even though there was a waiting list for Yugo cars.


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: Between 1992 and 1995, it was under UN sanctions, and then between 1998 and 2000, it was under EU and US sanctions. As a result, many Zastava subsidiaries abroad were forced to cease trading, such as Zastava (GB) Ltd. in the United Kingdom and Yugo Cars in the United States.


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: In 1999, during the Kosovo War, NATO bombed the factory in Kragujevac, Serbia because Zastava Arms was a major military supplier to the Serb government. Some of the car manufacturing buildings were damaged and numerous workers were injured.


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: After the war, there were trade talks with Hungarian firms to assemble Yugos in Hungary, but no agreement was reached because of the Yugoslavian partner's hesitation. However, Zastava Trucks were assembled in Hungary, near Pécs, with IVECO engines.


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: Yugos were facelifted and new versions are introduced in the Belgrade International Motor Show in 2002. The new Zaatava Koral IN had a 1.1l 55HP engine with Bosch electronic injection, the transmission designed by Porsche, slightly new internal and external design, improved safety, and many extra details which were missing from former models. Koral In also have Peugeot 1.1L, 60HP engine.


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: The new generation of Yugo was granted a FIA certificate, so it was in compliance with European standards.


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: In October 2000, Vojislav Koštunica became the new president of Yugoslavia (also a Yugo Koral owner) and soon after, the sanctions against the country were lifted the exports resumed. The production had fallen to a mere 9 per cent of its pre-1990 230,000-vehicle annual capacity, with exports at around 4,000 vehicles.


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: The new Yugoslav government embarked on a $50 million reorganization effort in cooperation with the World Bank, which resulted in mass layoffs, aiming to privatize the company.


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: A new prototype for the Yugo Florida, known as the Florida 2.0, was made, equipped with the same engine as in the Fiat Bravo 2.0.


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: In 2002, the American entrepreneur Malcolm Bricklin, who had previously imported Yugo into the United States, signed a deal with Zastava to reintroduce the company's products into America. Bricklin's intention was to sell the cars for less than $10,000 under the brand name ZMW (as in Zastava Motor Works). Even though a website proclaiming the brand's arrival was produced by Bricklin's company, by 2006 his intentions had switched to importing products from Chinese car maker Chery instead.


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: Also there were produced some unknown models from the beginning of the 1990s and after 2000 as the respond of new market demands. Such models were: Yugo GV Turbo (90's), Yugo Electra (90's), Zastava Koral In (euro-concept), Zastava Globus Koral In (electromobile), Zastava Florida Caravan, Zastava Florida Sedan.


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: Zastava automobiles have been sold and exported in Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Croatia, North Macedonia, Greece, Bulgaria, Lebanon, Libya, Syria, Ecuador, Tunisia, Poland, and Egypt (where Zastava cars were produced under the marque of the state owned Nasr car company). CEO of Zastava cars Zoran Radojević has declared that the company has received offers from African countries for technology transfer. It is believed that Congo was interested in starting production of the Zastava Florida and Egypt of the Zastava 128.


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: In October 2005, an agreement with Fiat was reached for production of the Fiat Punto by Zastava for Eastern European markets, which would be commercialed as the Zastava 10. The Koral IN L, with a fuel injected 1.1 L Peugeot engine, met the European Union safety standards in a test supervised by the German Technischer Überwachungsverein (Technical Monitoring Association). This was seem as a chance to pave the way for export to EU countries.


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: The Zastava 10, based on the Italian Fiat Punto Mark 2b, was the last Zastava's most modern car before this factory was taken by Fiat.


title: Zastava Automobiles

text: Optional features included dual front airbags and air conditioning, as well as power windows. Although the Zastava 10 was Zastava's newest and best model at that time, it faced fierce competition in its home market against cars like the Volkswagen Polo. However, it had some advantages over many of its rivals, including price. As of December 2007, Zastava 10 price started at €7,550 in the Serbian market. In March 2007, the Zastava 10's share of the Serbian car market was 11% and the company started exporting cars to former Yugoslav republics in the first half of 2007, and with plans to add to Bulgaria and Albania as well.

title: The Sandman Universe

text: The Sandman Universe is a line of American comic books published by DC Comics under its imprints DC Vertigo and DC Black Label. The line launched to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Neil Gaiman's "The Sandman" (1989–1996) and Vertigo's 25th anniversary.

text: "The Sandman Universe" celebrates the 30th anniversary of DC Comics' "The Sandman" and the 25th anniversary of the launch of the DC Vertigo imprint. The line was conceived and is overseen by the series' creator, Neil Gaiman, but produced by new creative teams. "The Sandman Universe" expands "The Sandman"s part of the DC Universe using new characters and concepts. The line was announced by "Entertainment Weekly" in March 2018 and was accompanied by a trailer featuring Gaiman. It launched with the one-shot "The Sandman Universe" #1 on August 8, 2018, with the other series following on later dates.


title: The Sandman Universe

text: When asked why he returned to "The Sandman", Gaiman said he began to feel guilty that almost no one had been able to return to the series since its conclusion and liked the idea of reviving it, as well as letting new writers play with his "toys". Gaiman assembled the writing team for the line with the Vertigo editorial team. Both parties suggested writers who they thought would be good for new "Sandman" stories. Samples by writers were then read by Gaiman, who decided whether or not they were proficient. Deciding writers also involved choosing which comic suited which writer best; Gaiman cited Nalo Hopkinson's science fiction work as an influence for assigning her to "House of Whispers". Gaiman chose Kat Howard, who he has worked with for several years, to reboot "The Books of Magic" because of her handling of magic in her stories, and Dan Watters to write "Lucifer" because he was up to the challenge of recreating the character.

title: Château Lafite Rothschild

text: Château Lafite Rothschild is a French wine estate of Bordeaux wine, located in Pauillac in France, owned by members of the Rothschild family since the 19th century, and rated as a First Growth under the 1855 Bordeaux Classification.


title: Château Lafite Rothschild

text: Lafite was one of five wine-producing châteaux of Bordeaux originally awarded First Growth status in the 1855 Classification. Since then, it has been a consistent producer of one of the world's most expensive red wines. A bottle of 1869 Château Lafite Rothschild holds the world record for the most expensive bottle of wine sold at auction for $233,973 in 2010.


title: Château Lafite Rothschild

text: Situated in the wine-producing village of Pauillac in the Médoc region to the north-west of Bordeaux, the estate was the property of Gombaud de Lafite in 1234. In the 17th century, the property of Château Lafite was purchased by the Ségur family, including the 16th century manor house that still stands. Although vines almost certainly already existed on the site, around 1680, Jacques de Ségur planted the majority of the vineyard.


title: Château Lafite Rothschild

text: In the early 18th century, Nicolas-Alexandre, marquis de Ségur refined the wine-making techniques of the estate, and introduced his wines to the upper echelons of European society. Before long he was known as the "Wine Prince", and the wine of Château Lafite called "The King's Wine" thanks to the influential support of the Maréchal de Richelieu. Towards the end of the 18th century, Lafite's reputation was assured and even Thomas Jefferson visited the estate and became a lifelong customer.


title: Château Lafite Rothschild

text: Following the French Revolution, the period known as Reign of Terror led to the execution of Nicolas Pierre de Pichard on 30 June 1794, bringing an end to the Ségur family's ownership of the estate which became public property. In 1797 the vineyards were sold to a group of Dutch merchants.


title: Château Lafite Rothschild

text: The first half of the 19th century saw Lafite in the hands of the Vanlerberghe family and the wine improved more, including the great vintages of 1795, 1798 and 1818. In 1868 the Château was purchased by Baron James Mayer Rothschild for 4.4 million francs, and the estate became Château Lafite Rothschild. Rothschild, however, died just three months after purchasing Lafite. The estate then became the joint property of his three sons: Alphonse, Gustave and Edmond Rothschild.


title: Château Lafite Rothschild

text: The 20th century has seen periods of success and difficulty, coping with post-phylloxera vines, and two world wars. During the Second World War the Château was occupied by the German army, and suffered heavily from plundering of its cellars. Succeeding his uncle Élie de Rothschild, Lafite has been under the direction of Éric de Rothschild from 1974 to 2018, when he was succeeded by his daughter, Saskia de Rothschild. She is the youngest woman leading a Premier Grand Cru Bordeaux estate.


title: Château Lafite Rothschild

text: At the 5 December 1985 Christie's auction, a new record price of approximately was paid for a bottle of wine a 1787 Château Lafite which was thought to be owned by Thomas Jefferson. The authenticity of the bottle has been challenged. On 29 October 2010 the record was broken at a Sotheby's auction in Hong Kong three bottles of 1869 Chateau Lafite-Rothschild were sold for (US$232,692) each.


title: Château Lafite Rothschild

text: In early November 2012, police in the city of Wenzhou, China, seized nearly 10,000 bottles of suspected counterfeit Châteaux Lafite Rothschild. Lafite is very popular among China's nouveau riche, but analysts suspect that between 50 and 70 per cent of wine labeled "Château Lafite Rothschild" in China is fake. If genuine, the collection seized in Wenzhou would have been worth up to US$16 million.


title: Château Lafite Rothschild

text: The vineyard is one of the largest in the Médoc at 107 hectares, and produces around 35,000 cases annually, of which between 15,000 and 25,000 are first growth. Its vines are around 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot, whereas the final wine is between 80% and 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% and 20% Merlot, and up to 3% Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Occasionally exceptions are made, such as the 1961 vintage which was 100% Cabernet Sauvignon.


title: Château Lafite Rothschild

text: A second Château Lafite Rothschild vineyard was established in the Chinese province of Shandong, where 250,000 vine stocks from France are planted on 30 hectares. Its vines are Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Marselan. In 2019, the estate debuted its first vintage from its Domaine de Long Dai winery in Shandong.


title: Château Lafite Rothschild

text: In addition to the first growth, around a third of the wine is released as a second wine under the label "Carruades de Lafite".


title: Château Lafite Rothschild

text: Across all vintages Lafite Rothschild is one of the most expensive wines in the world, with the average price per 750 ml bottle reaching $911. Prices for Carruades de Lafite rose dramatically due in part to Chinese demand, with the prices of its 2005 and 2000 vintage fetching over £10,000 per case. After peaking in 2011, however, the price of some vintages halved in two years.


title: Gustavo Díaz Ordaz

text: Gustavo Díaz Ordaz Bolaños (; 12 March 1911 – 15 July 1979) was a Mexican politician and member of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). He served as the President of Mexico from 1964 to 1970.


title: Gustavo Díaz Ordaz

text: Díaz Ordaz was born in San Andrés Chalchicomula, and obtained a law degree from the University of Puebla in 1937 where he later became its vice-rector. He represented Puebla's 1st district in the Chamber of Deputies from 1943 to 1946. Subsequently he represented the same state in the Chamber of Senators from 1946 to 1952 becoming closely acquainted with then-senator Adolfo López Mateos.


title: Gustavo Díaz Ordaz

text: Díaz Ordaz joined the campaign of Adolfo Ruiz Cortines for the 1952 election and subsequently worked for the Secretariat of the Interior under Ángel Carvajal Bernal. He became the secretary following López Mateos' victory in the 1958 election, and exercised "de facto" executive power during the absences of the president, particularly during the Cuban Missile Crisis. In 1963, the PRI announced him as the presidential candidate for the 1964 election, he received 88.81% of the popular vote.


title: Gustavo Díaz Ordaz

text: His administration is mostly remembered for the student protests that took place in 1968, and their subsequent repression by the Army and State forces during the Tlatelolco massacre, in which hundreds of unarmed protesters were killed.


title: Gustavo Díaz Ordaz

text: After passing on presidency to his own Secretary of the Interior (Luis Echeverría), Díaz Ordaz retired from public life. He was briefly the Ambassador to Spain in 1977, a position he resigned after strong protests and criticism by the media. He died of colorectal cancer on 15 July 1979 at the age of 68.


title: Gustavo Díaz Ordaz

text: Díaz Ordaz Bolaños was born in San Andrés Chalchicomula (now Ciudad Serdán, Puebla), the second of four children. In his later years his father, Ramón Díaz Ordaz Redonet, worked as an accountant. However, for a decade he served in the political machine of President Porfirio Díaz, becoming the "jefe político" and police administrator of San Andrés Chilchicomula. When Díaz was ousted by revolutionary forces in May 1911 at the outbreak of the Mexican Revolution, he lost his bureaucratic post in the regime change. Subsequently the family's financial situation was insecure, and Díaz Ordaz's father took a number of jobs and the family frequently moved. He claimed ancestry with conqueror-chronicler Bernal Díaz del Castillo. Gustavo's mother, Sabina Bolaños Cacho de Díaz Ordaz, was a school teacher, described as "stern and pious". Gustavo, as well as his elder brother Rámon, had a weak chin and large protruding teeth and was skinny. "His mother would freely say to anyone, 'But what an ugly son I have!'" His lack of good looks became a way to mock him when he became president of Mexico.


title: Gustavo Díaz Ordaz

text: When the family lived for a time in Oaxaca, the young Díaz Ordaz attended the Institute of Arts and Sciences, whose alumni included Benito Juárez and Porfirio Díaz. He was a serious student, but due to his family's financial circumstances, he could not always buy the textbooks he needed. At one point, the family lived as a charity case with a maternal uncle in Oaxaca, who was a Oaxaca state official. The family had to absent themselves when powerful visitors came to the residence. While Gustavo attended the institute, his elder brother Ramón taught there after studies in Spain, teaching Latin. A student mocked Professor Ramón Díaz Ordaz's ugliness, and Gustavo defended his brother with physical force. Díaz Ordaz graduated from the University of Puebla on 8 February 1937 with a law degree. He became a professor at the university and served as vice-rector from 1940 to 1941.


title: Gustavo Díaz Ordaz

text: In a photo from 1938, Díaz Ordaz stands behind President Lázaro Cárdenas who is front and center. Also in the photo are two other future presidents of Mexico, Manuel Avila Camacho and Miguel Alemán. His political career had a modest start. He had not fought in the Revolution and his father had been part of Porfirio Díaz's regime, so his political rise was not straightforward. He served in the government of Puebla from 1932 to 1943. In the latter year he became a federal politician, serving in the Chamber of Deputies for the first district of the state of Puebla, and he served as a senator for the same state from 1946 to 1952. He came to national prominence in the cabinet of Mexican President President Adolfo López Mateos from 1958 to 1964, as Minister of the Interior ("Gobernación"). On 18 November 1963, he became the presidential candidate for the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). Despite facing only token opposition, Díaz Ordaz campaigned as if he were the underdog. He won the presidential election on 5 July 1964.


title: Gustavo Díaz Ordaz

text: Díaz Ordaz assumed the presidency on 1 December 1964 at the Palacio de Bellas Artes. There, he took the oath before the Congress of the Union presided over by Alfonso Martínez Domínguez. Former president Adolfo López Mateos turned over the presidential sash, and Díaz Ordaz delivered his inaugural address.


title: Gustavo Díaz Ordaz

text: As president, Díaz Ordaz was known for his authoritarian manner of rule over his cabinet and the country in general. His strictness was evident in his handling of a number of protests during his term, in which railroad workers, teachers, and doctors were fired for taking industrial action. A first demonstration of this new authoritarianism was given when he used force to end a strike by medics. Medics of the Institute for Social Security and Services for State Workers, especially residents and interns, had organized a strike to demand better working conditions and an increased salary.


title: Gustavo Díaz Ordaz

text: His authoritarian style of governing produced resistance such as the emergence of a guerrilla movement in the state of Guerrero. Economically, the era of Díaz Ordaz was a time of growth. He established the Mexican Institute of Petroleum in 1965, an important step, for oil has been one of Mexico's most productive industries.


title: Gustavo Díaz Ordaz

text: When university students in Mexico City protested the government's actions around the time of the 1968 Summer Olympics, Díaz Ordaz oversaw the occupation of the National Autonomous University of Mexico and the arrest of several students, leading to the shooting of hundreds of unarmed protesters during the Tlatelolco massacre in Downtown Mexico City on 2 October 1968. The Mexican army fired ruthlessly because a group called "Battalion Olympia" started the shooting between the unarmed students and many other people who let the students take shelter inside their homes. Statistics concerning the casualties of this incident vary, often for political reasons. Some people were kept imprisoned for several years. The crackdown would eventually be denounced by Díaz Ordaz's successors, and ordinary Mexicans view the assault on unarmed students as an atrocity. The stain would remain on the PRI for many years.


title: Gustavo Díaz Ordaz

text: Every year, on the anniversary of the Tlatelolco massacre, the statue of Díaz Ordaz in Zapopan, Jalisco, is vandalized by having a bucket of red paint splattered on it.


title: Gustavo Díaz Ordaz

text: Díaz Ordaz's authoritarian manner of rule also prevented any attempt to democratize the PRI. The president of the PRI, Carlos Madrazo, made such an attempt by proposing inner-party elections in order to strengthen the party's base. After his attempt failed, Madrazo resigned.


title: Gustavo Díaz Ordaz

text: During the administration of Díaz Ordaz, relations with the US were largely harmonic, and several bilateral treaties were formed. In Diaz Ordaz's honor, President Richard Nixon hosted the first White House state dinner to be held outside Washington, D.C., at San Diego's Hotel del Coronado on 3 September 1970.


title: Gustavo Díaz Ordaz

text: However, there also were some points of conflict with the US.
