Preserved remains suggest that Zygomaturus was widely distributed over Australia during the Pleistocene.\n\n\nEvolution and extinction\nThe earliest members of the genus such as Zygomaturus gilli appeared during the Late Miocene, during the regional Waitean faunal stage. It is thought that the youngest species, Zygomaturus trilobus became extinct curing the latter half of the Late Pleistocene, with typical estimates being about 45,000 years ago, around the time of Aboriginal arrival in Australia. A surprisingly late date between 33.3 \u00b13.7 Kya and 36.7 \u00b15.1 Kya was reported in 2017 from the Willandra Lakes Region in New South Wales, which if correct would represent the latest known date for any Australian Megafauna.\n\n\nRelated genera\n\n\nReferences\n\n\nFurther reading\n Wildlife of Gondwana: Dinosaurs and Other Vertebrates from the Ancient Supercontinent (Life of the Past) by Pat Vickers Rich, Thomas Hewitt Rich, Francesco Coffa, and Steven Morton\nMarsupial Nutrition by Ian D.

His mother died young. His father, Zuo Yong, was promoted to imperial official in charge of the imperial archives. Zuo Si would often play word games with his sister, Zuo Fen, who later became famous in her own right as a writer and a concubine of Emperor Wu of Jin.\n\n\nLiterary works\nIn approximately 280, Zuo wrote the \"Shu Capital Rhapsody\" (\u8700\u90fd\u8d4b), the first of his rhapsodies on the three capitals of the Three Kingdoms Period. The Shu Capital Rhapsody described the city of Chengdu and the surrounding area. This work features the earliest surviving reference to Mount Emei. The work was so highly renowned and frequently copied upon its release that the price of paper in Luoyang is said to have risen as a result. This later gave rise to the popular Chinese idiom \u6d1b\u9633\u7eb8\u8d35 (\"Paper is Expensive in Luoyang\"), today used to praise a literary work.Zuo described his rhapsodies on the three capitals as derivative of similar works by Zhang Heng and Ban Gu. However, Mark Edward Lewis has written that Zuo's rhapsodies marked the end of the Han Dynasty ideal of the ritually perfect capital, because they describe three simultaneously existing, contemporary capitals, suppressing the ritual and historical evolution that structured the previous works. Zuo argued for accuracy as the basis of poetry, in contrast to the fantastic writings of Han poets. In his preface to the three rhapsodies, he wrote that while writers of lyric verse \"sing of what their hearts are set upon\", writers of descriptive rhapsodies \"praise what they observe\".Zuo's poetry, particularly his poem Summoning the Recluse, is regarded as representative of the medieval Chinese \"poetry of seclusion\" or \"poetry of the recluse\". Unlike earlier poems, which encouraged readers to leave the wilderness for the official life, Zuo advocates a return to the wilderness. Gaul and Hiltz attribute this change in perspective to the replacement of Shamanistic beliefs with Confucian ethics and Daoist religion.\n\n\nLegacy\nZuo Si's work has continued to be resonate with later scholars. The Qing Dynasty scholar Yuan Mei wrote that Zuo Si's Singing of History \"uses past deeds of historical characters to express what is in one's own heart\", and is an example of the first of the three types of historical verse. The Tang Dynasty poet Wang Ji paid homage uses Zuo's Summoning the Recluse as a model, but departs from it by focusing on the recluse's way of life, rather than the natural surroundings. In addition, unlike Zuo, Wang does not completely abandon the pursuit of honor and glory in officialdom.\n\n\nReferences"}}}}

After the camp's liberation in April 1945, she returned to Plze\u0148 later that year. R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 was the wife of Czech composer Viktor Kalabis. The couple both refused to join the Czechoslovak Communist Party which held power from 1948 to 1989, and faced political persecution as a result. R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 performed across the world for 50 years, recorded over 100 records, and taught such prominent musicians as Christopher Hogwood, Ketil Haugsand, Jaroslav T\u016fma, and Mahan Esfahani.\n\n\nEarly years\nR\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 was born in Plze\u0148 in 1927. Her family owned a department store, and her father had spent four years in Chicago in the 1920s, working at the Ginsburg Department store. Although he had experienced success in the United States, her father returned to Czechoslovakia. R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 learned English from her father. R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 characterized her childhood as \"very sweet\" and her parents as \"very much in love\". According to R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1, her family was historically Jewish. Her mother was an Orthodox Jew, but her father was an atheist. R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 described herself as not particularly religious.R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 began taking piano lessons after suffering from pneumonia aged nine, as a reward for her recovery. Her piano teacher, Marie Provazn\u00edkov\u00e1, introduced her to the works of Bach and encouraged her to take up the harpsichord. Impressed by R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1's talent, Provazn\u00edkov\u00e1 wrote to French-Polish musician Wanda Landowska, asking her to accept R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 as a pupil at her \u00c9cole de Musique Ancienne in the Paris suburb of Saint-Leu-la-For\u00eat once she had finished her obligatory schooling at 15. In the end, R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 was not able to attend due to the Nazi invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1938, and the implementation of the Nuremberg Laws.\n\n\nNazi occupation of Czechoslovakia and World War II\nIn 1941, the Gestapo began organizing transports to move Jews from Plze\u0148 to Terez\u00edn. The camp's first inmates, known as the Aufbaukommando, were tasked with converting the fortress and surrounding walled town into a concentration camp, known as Theresienstadt.In Plze\u0148, 13-year-old R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 was among Jewish children used by the Gestapo to deliver \"invitations\" to members of the town's Jewish community, informing them of the date they would be deported to the camp, which R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 later described as seeing \"life at its very worst. It was a nightmare\". In January 1942, three weeks after receiving notice from the Gestapo, R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 and her family were forcibly relocated from Plzen to Theresienstadt by train. Upon arrival, R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 met Fredy Hirsch, a 25-year-old German Jew, who assumed the responsibility of caring for the camp's children by arranging activities and exercise for them, and reserving two barracks for what were called Children's Homes.\n\n\nInternment in Theresienstadt\nTheresienstadt was originally designated by the Nazis as a \"model community\" for educated, middle-class Jews from Germany, Czechoslovakia, and Austria. R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1, along with other children at the camp, did agricultural work, applying manure to fields and working in vegetable gardens, and was therefore able to sneak food from the gardens to her family. Although forced to work during the day, R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 was able to continue her education at Theresienstadt, and could attend concerts and lectures staged by the residents after work. She was able to see opera singer Karel Berman perform, take Latin lessons from a former university professor and harmony lessons from pianist Gideon Klein, and join a children's choir.R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1's father and grandfather died in the camp. Her father died in Spring 1943, but R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 was able to remain with her mother. In December 1943, the two were sent to Auschwitz after nearly two years in the camp. She was given the option to remain in Theresienstadt, but chose to go with her mother. Before her transport to Auschwitz, R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 transcribed a Bach piece onto paper to bring with her to the camp.\n\n\nInternment in Auschwitz\nAfter three days on the transport, R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 and her mother arrived in Auschwitz by night, and those on the transport were immediately placed in barracks, many suffering from hunger and dehydration. The next day, she and the other prisoners were taken to another barracks, stripped, and tattooed. They were then forced to sign a document stating that they had been arrested in Theresienstadt for anti-German activities, and accepted their sentence.Soon after her arrival, R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 was reunited with Hirsch, who advised her to lie about her age and say she was sixteen, rather than fifteen. R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 later credited Hirsch with her survival, as if she had not lied about her age it is likely that she would have been gassed. Hirsch was organising the children's barracks as he had in Theresienstadt, and R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 began working there as a teaching assistant, which kept her from more dangerous jobs and protected her from the many diseases spreading through the camp. In this role, she was exposed to the extreme reality of Nazi racial theory; German doctors, including Fritz Klein, the \"Chief Selector\" of the camp and colleague of Josef Mengele, whom R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 had met in Theresienstadt, visited the children's barracks to take physiological measurements or select children to be removed for experimentation.\nIn May 1944, R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 and the other inmates who had traveled with her from Terezin to Auschwitz were scheduled to be gassed. However, their execution was slated for June 6\u2014D-Day. After going through another selection process, R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 and her mother were instead sent to Germany.\n\n\nSlave labor in Hamburg\nR\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 was sent to Hamburg, which was being bombed regularly by the British and Americans. Under the auspices of the Neuengamme concentration camp, laborers were assigned to work in sub-camps in the area around Hamburg. R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 was put to work protecting and repairing an oil pipeline and maintaining gas tanks, which were subject to daily bombardment. She was able to remain with her mother, but suffered greatly from hunger and dangerous working conditions. However, she was able to earn some extra food from other prisoners by singing for them. In addition to working on the oil pipeline, she worked in the shipyards of Hamburg. In January 1945, R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 was moved to the Tiefstack sub-camp, where she worked in a cement factory. As Allied forces advanced, the prisoners were made to dig booby-traps for tanks.\n\n\nInternment in Bergen-Belsen\nAt the end of February, R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 and the other laborers were transported to Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. She later commented that \"if ever there was Hell, this was the lowest part of Hell. This was an extermination camp\u2014it was really meant for us to die in.\" At this point, Bergen-Belsen was disorganized, overcrowded, and stricken with disease. When her mother fell ill, R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 was forced to sneak out of the camp to gather turnips in order to survive. In April 1945 R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 and the other prisoners who could still walk were ordered to march from the camp to a railway station two miles away. They returned to the camp and woke the next morning to discover the Germans had gone. The guards had abandoned the camp, leaving no food, and had disconnected the water supply. A few German and Hungarian troops remained outside the camp, randomly shooting into the barracks on occasion. On 15 April 1945 British and Canadian soldiers arrived at Bergen-Belsen.\n\n\nLiberation and aftermath of WWII\nR\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1, along with many prisoners suffering from starvation, became seriously ill after eating the food rations provided by soldiers. At the time of liberation, she weighed only 70 pounds. She was taken to a hospital and treated for ulcers, typhus, malnutrition, and eventually diagnosed with malaria. Since she spoke English and several other languages, R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 worked as a translator for the medical staff as she recovered.Although R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1's mother remained seriously ill, they were able to return to Czechoslovakia in July 1945, where they found their family home occupied and possessions stolen. One of the first people R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 met upon her return to Plze\u0148 was her former piano teacher, Marie Provazn\u00edkov\u00e1. R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 later said that when Provazn\u00edkov\u00e1 saw the conditions of her hands after four years in concentration camps, she wept.The four years R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 had spent in concentration camps had not only hurt her physically and psychologically, but also caused a significant delay in her progress as a musician. To be accepted into a music school, R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 had to pass a series of examinations. She started in classes with children to regain her fundamental skills, and managed to advance every few months, from a third grade level to the required eight grade level. R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 began studying piano again with Bohdan Gs\u00f6lhofer in Plze\u0148.\n\n\nPost-war career\nIn 1947, R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 was accepted into the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague where her professors included pianists Alb\u00edn \u0160\u00edma, Franti\u0161ek Rauch and harpsichordist Old\u0159ich Kredba. Despite her rapid improvement, one of her professors discouraged her from being a professional musician, but she continued her studies, specializing in the harpsichord and early music. She completed a BA and went on to complete an MA.After the 1948 coup by the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (KS\u010c), R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 was pressured to join the Communist Youth Movement, but refused. As a student in Prague, R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 was called in front of a committee when she was discovered reading the works of Sigmund Freud, whose literature had been banned. In 1950, R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 secured a position at the Academy, teaching composers to play the piano. One of her students was her future husband, Czech composer Viktor Kalabis. She gave her first harpsichord recital in 1951. As a faculty member at the Academy of Performing Arts, R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 was subject to performance reviews that evaluated her both professionally and politically.As a Jew, R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 was still vulnerable to persecution under the Communist government. In the context of high-profile anti-Semitic political events such as the Sl\u00e1nsk\u00fd show trials of 1952, R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 tried to persuade Viktor Kalabis not to marry her, but they married in December 1952.In 1956 R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 won the ARD International Music Competition in Munich, and was offered a scholarship from jury member Marguerite Roesgen-Champion to continue her harpsichord studies in Paris. Kalabis was also invited to study in Paris, but the couple was not allowed to travel abroad together in case they defected. Kalabis went to Paris, but R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 remained in Czechoslovakia. Although she was unable to study in Paris, her win at the International Music Competition led to further invitations to perform across Europe. Since she was highly paid for these performances, the government allowed her to travel, but confiscated much of the foreign currency that she earned.She performed at Bach festivals in various European cities, including Leipzig, Stuttgart, Heidelberg, Ansbach, Frankfurt, Schaffhausen, and Bath. Although her success made her valuable to the state, as a non-party member R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 remained under suspicion from the Communist government, and was not allowed to teach music to Czech students. Furthermore, her participation in the Czech Philharmonic was restricted due to her Jewish heritage.\nThe pressures on R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 were eased slightly following the death of Joseph Stalin and the relaxation of his policies. She was able to travel more freely, and occasionally with her husband. However, R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 did not try to defect, as she and Kalabis still had family members living in Czechoslovakia. For the first time, R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 was able to record music for international distribution, increasing her fame and strengthening her association with the music of Bach. This coincided with the revival of baroque music in Western Europe.In 1962, she co-founded the Prague Chamber Soloists with conductor V\u00e1clav Neumann, and in 1963 she formed a successful duo with violinist Josef Suk. Other chamber music partners included J\u00e1nos Starker, Pierre Fournier, Jean-Pierre Rampal, Aur\u00e8le Nicolet and Maxence Larrieu. She also worked with conductors including Serge Baudo, Paul Sacher, Herbert Blomstedt, Libor Pe\u0161ek, Neville Marriner and Helmuth Rilling. Her recorded repertoire is extensive, including works from the English virginalists through to modern composers such as Bohuslav Martin\u016f, Francis Poulenc, Manuel de Falla and Frank Martin.\nThe music of Bach, however, always remained central to her career, and in 1965 R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 was contracted by the French label Erato Records to record the complete keyboard works of Bach. She completed the task in 1975, becoming the first person to record them in their entirety.Following the Prague Spring of 1968, the Czech government was under pressure to appear stable and progressive. R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 was given several state-sponsored rewards, which served as propaganda for the regime. R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 was unable to refuse these rewards and was often forced to accept them with great ceremony. She was a soloist with the Czech Philharmonic from 1979\u201390.\n\n\nAfter the Velvet Revolution\nFollowing the Velvet Revolution of 17 November 1989, R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 participated in the protests against the government, going on strike from the Academy of Music and the Czech Philharmonic. When the Communist regime was overthrown in December, R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 received the title of \"Professor\", which she had not been granted despite teaching at the Academy since 1951, and was able to serve as a committee member for music competitions. She also established a harpsichord class at the Music Academy in Bratislava, where she had been guest professor from 1978\u201382. For twenty-five years she gave master classes in Z\u00fcrich, as well as other classes in Stuttgart, Krak\u00f3w, Budapest, Riga, and Tokyo.She stopped performing publicly in 2004 after Kalabis fell ill. Following Kalabis' death in 2006, R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 became more involved in various musical organizations and committees dedicated to the interpretation and preservation of early music, and to the discovery of young musicians. She was the president of the Viktor Kalabis & Zuzana R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 Fund, vice-president of the Prague Spring International Music Festival Committee, and a member of the advisory boards of the Czech Chamber Music Society and the Concertino Praga International Competition. She was a supporter of the Hans Kr\u00e1sa Initiative, dedicated to the life and music of composer and fellow Theresienstadt prisoner Hans Kr\u00e1sa, who was murdered in the Holocaust. She was also active in the Terez\u00edn Initiative, through which she was able to fund a memorial for Fredy Hirsch.\n\n\nLater years and legacy\nR\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 was married to Viktor Kalabis for 54 years, and inspired him to compose several major works for harpsichord: Six Two-Part Canonic Inventions (1962), Aquarelles (1979), Preludio, Aria e Toccata (1992), and Concerto for Harpsichord and Strings (1975). Contemporary composers have also dedicated works to her, including Jan Rychl\u00edk's Hommagi clavicembalistici (1964), and she premiered works by Emil Hlobil, Hans-Georg G\u00f6rner and Elizabeth Maconchy. R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 was also an influential teacher. Among her students were the late British harpsichordist and conductor Christopher Hogwood and the Iranian-American harpsichordist Mahan Esfahani.\n\nIn 2013 Supraphon released new CDs of R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1's work, and British harpsichordist Pamela Nash wrote about her in the June 2013 edition of the British Sounding Board magazine:Acclaimed as 'The first lady of the harpsichord,' and recognized by many as Landowska's successor, her career has left the harpsichord world a legacy, documented by over 100 recordings, spanning half a century... this timely commemoration serves as a timely reminder of Ruzickova's invaluable role in promoting the harpsichord in the 20th century. She made enormous strides to establish the instrument as a solo and ensemble concert instrument, and there can be no doubt that the status of the harpsichord today owes much to her pioneering efforts. Embarking on a career when early harpsichord repertoire was barely acknowledged, or else relegated to the piano, she resolved to re-connect Baroque keyboard music to the instrument for which it was written; in her own words 'to rid the harpsichord of its museum nature and make it a living instrument.'\" \nIn October 2016, her entire recordings of all of J.S Bach's keyboard works in remastered form were released by Warner Records/Erato. Supraphon has reissued several CDs of collections of Ruzickova's earlier recordings.R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 appeared in a 2017 documentary film about her life and music, Zuzana: Music is Life, directed by Peter Getzels and Harriet Gordon Getzels. Until her death R\u016f\u017ei\u010dkov\u00e1 resided in Prague. In December 2016, a month before her 90th birthday, she revealed she had been diagnosed with cancer and had undergone chemotherapy.In 2019, her posthumous autobiography, One Hundred Miracles, written with Wendy Holden, was published by Bloomsbury, and translated into ten languages.\n\n\nPartial list of awards and recognitions\n\n\nTitles\nArtist of Merit, 1968 (CZ)\nNation Artist, 1989 (CZ)\nProfessor of the Academy of Music in Prague, 1990 (CZ)\nChevalier des Arts et des Lettres, 2004 (Fr)\n\n\nMedals\nAachen \"Kulturpreis Karl IV\" (2011)\nMedal of Merit 2 Grade for Arts and Culture of the President of the Czech Republic (2004)\nMedaille fur Kunst und Wissenschaft der Freusradt Hamburg (1993)\nMedal of Contribution to \"Golden Funds if Supraphone\" (1997)\nMedal of Harmony Musical Review (2001)\nPrize for Contribution to Czech and World Music (2001)\nGrenade Star of BOHEMIAN HERITAGE FUND, endowment fund (2013)\n\n\nPrizes\nGrand Prix Cros (J.A.

The character first appeared in The Incredible Hulk (vol. 2) #166 (August 1973), and was created by Steve Englehart and Herb Trimpe.In-universe, Zzzax was created by accident during a terrorist act. Zzzax is a being of pure electricity who can absorb and discharge powerful currents of electricity. Its size and strength depend on the amount of electricity absorbed. It can also absorb human brain energy, temporarily taking on the personality of the victim.\n\n\nFictional character biography\nDebuting in the title The Incredible Hulk (vol. 2), Zzzax is a humanoid creature formed from electricity by an act of sabotage at a Con Ed nuclear power plant in New York City. A group of terrorists destroying the dynamos started a chain reaction that caused a rapid buildup of energy, which takes on a life of its own, absorbing the minds of them and several engineers. By using the electrical energy from their brains, the entity achieves humanoid form and sentience. Calling itself Zzzax, the entity fights the Hulk and Hawkeye before being defeated.The character returns to the title The Incredible Hulk (vol. 2) and attacks a research center in Chicago. The Hulk battles the entity to a standstill before several scientists shut down the process that recreates Zzzax. Zzzax reappears in the title Luke Cage, Power Man, and hunts down the men responsible for its last defeat. Power Man defeats the entity, but not before it kills one of the scientists. Zzzax returns in the title The Incredible Hulk (vol. 2) to confront an intelligent version of the monster possessing the mind of Bruce Banner, but is quickly defeated. Mephisto later reforms the entity in the miniseries Secret Wars II, although the Thing defeats it. In the title West Coast Avengers, the character Zzzax teams with fundamental force villains Graviton; Quantum and Halflife, but is again short-circuited by Hawkeye.The title The Incredible Hulk (vol. 2) details how S.H.I.E.L.D. captured Zzzax and transported it to Gamma Base. General Thunderbolt Ross arranges for his mind to be transferred into Zzzax's body and battles a new version of the Hulk, whose alter-ego is Rick Jones. Ross relinquishes control of the entity soon after saving his daughter Betty Ross Banner, realizing that his actions had risked lives. Zzzax battles Iron Man in the title Marvel Comics Presents and Cable in the hero's self-titled series.The entity reappears in the title New Avengers and participates in the mass escape by supervillains from the holding facility the Raft. The title Sensational She-Hulk reveals the character has been contained by S.H.I.E.L.D. After briefly escaping and turning the defense systems of the organisation's Helicarrier against its agents (including the Life Model Decoys), it is recaptured by the She-Hulk.The Mighty Avengers later apprehend Zzzax when it attacks New Delhi.Zzzax later appears in the services of MODOK Superior when it comes to him attacking the Red Hulk.During the Fear Itself storyline, Zzzax was with MODOK Superior when it comes to competing against Zero/One and Black Fog into getting to the Red Hulk first.\n\n\nPowers and abilities\nAs a being of pure electricity, Zzzax is able to absorb and generate electrical fields, as well as manipulate nearby equipment. It can grow its own intelligence by draining the energy from human brainwaves, thus becoming dependent upon them. While incinerating the victim, it would temporarily take on his or her personality traits. This extends control to their nervous systems via electric currents. Only its foe, the Hulk has proven unaffected by this ability. Zzzax's size and strength increases in direct quality for the electricity it needs to feed. It is also capable of hovering. At the point whereby water - a primary weakness - could short-circuit or evaporate Zzzax before touching it.\n\n\nIn other media\n\n\nTelevision\nZzzax appears in The Incredible Hulk episode \"Raw Power\", simultaneously voiced by Michael Bell, Leeza Miller McGee, and Kevin Schon. This version was originally Mitch McCutcheon, a nuclear power plant worker who attempts to aid Bruce Banner in curing himself of the Hulk before being accidentally and temporarily turned into Zzzax after they are interrupted by security guards. Driven insane by the transformation, McCutcheon attempts to siphon energy to maintain his new form until he is eventually restored following a fight with the Hulk.\nZzzax appears in The Super Hero Squad Show, voiced by Jonathan Mankuta. This version is a member of Doctor Doom's Lethal Legion and briefly joins Pyro and Paste Pot Pete to form \"Team Toxic\"\nZzzax appears in The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

She was previously crowned Miss Puerto Rico Universe 2006. She made her debut as a telenovela actress in Mexico's Telemundo's soap opera Dame Chocolate in 2007, which was followed by several other soap opera roles. In 2017 she appeared in the music video for \"Despacito\" by Luis Fonsi.\n\n\nEarly life\nBorn in Cayey, she was raised in Salinas by her parents Jerry Rivera and Carmen Mendoza, and two brothers, Jerry, Jr. and Jose Rivera Mendoza.\nPrior to winning the Miss Puerto Rico title she won the local pageant for her hometown of Salinas. She had also placed as the first runner-up in the Miss Teen Puerto Rico pageant. Only eighteen years of age when she was crowned Miss Universe, Rivera is one of the youngest women to win the title.\n\n\nPageantry\n\n\nMiss Puerto Rico Universe 2006\nRivera represented her hometown of Salinas municipality at Miss Puerto Rico Universe 2006, held on November 10, 2005, where she was crowned the winner by outgoing titleholder and Miss Universe 2005 1st Runner-Up Cynthia Olavarr\u00eda. Rivera is also the second woman with noticeably mixed features to win Miss Puerto Rico Universe after Alba Reyes in 2004.\n\n\nMiss Universe 2006\nZuleyka Rivera represented Puerto Rico in the Miss Universe 2006 which was televised live internationally from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California on 23 July 2006. After competing in swimsuit, evening gown and interview, she was crowned Miss Universe by outgoing titleholder Natalie Glebova of Canada. At the time she was the youngest Miss Universe winner since Amelia Vega in 2003 (until Stefan\u00eda Fern\u00e1ndez in 2009).\n\nLater that evening, Rivera fainted briefly during a press appearance. The incident was reportedly attributed to heat exhaustion (from the stage lights) coupled with the weight of the heavy, chained dress she was wearing.Rivera was the fifth Puerto Rican to win the title, which makes the island the third most successful entity in the pageant (behind the United States and Venezuela). Rivera was the third consecutive delegate from Puerto Rico to make the Top 5 at Miss Universe, after Alba Reyes placed 2nd Runner-Up in 2004 and Cynthia Olavarr\u00eda placed 1st Runner-Up in 2005. She is also the first winner from Puerto Rico to have noticeable mixed (African and Indigenous) heritage features, different from her four predecessors (Marisol Malaret, Deborah Carthy-Deu, Dayanara Torres, and Denise Qui\u00f1ones) that have distinctly European features.\nRivera's win came only five years after Denise Qui\u00f1ones, the most recent winner from Puerto Rico, won the crown. As Miss Universe, Rivera represented the Miss Universe Organization, both in the United States and internationally. She was based in New York City, where she shared an apartment with Tara Conner, Miss USA and Katie Blair, Miss Teen USA 2006.\nAt the Miss Universe 2007 pageant she passed her crown to Riyo Mori of Japan in Mexico City, Mexico on May 28, 2007. Her Miss Universe's reign with only 10 months is one of the shortest reign in the history of the contest.\n\n\nReign\nAfter being crowned on July 23, 2006, in Los Angeles, Zuleyka was interviewed by many news teams in Los Angeles and when she arrived at her new home in New York.\nFrom the end of July until early August, Zuleyka traveled to Japan where she presented the Five Star Diamond Award to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Tokyo. She also participated in a photo shoot with Kurara Chibana in San Juan, Puerto Rico and in Tokyo, Japan, the girls who became really close best friends and still keep in touch. Miss Universe Japan (and first runner-up), and Zuleyka also visited Mikimoto, the creators of her dazzling crown. In late August, Zuleyka traveled to Indonesia where she attended the opening of a new spa, met with the Minister of Culture, and attended the Miss Indonesia Universe pageant where Agni Pratistha was crowned. While in Indonesia, Zuleyka also visited Bali. On September 4, 2006, Zuleyka returned to her home, Puerto Rico for an official homecoming celebration and parade. The following day, Zuleyka returned to her hometown of Salinas.\nAs of April 2007, Zuleyka has traveled to the Czech Republic, France, Italy, Russia, Spain, Turkey, Greece, Kazakhstan, India, Mexico, Thailand, Brazil, Puerto Rico, Japan, and Indonesia, in addition to numerous trips around the United States.\nOn April 1, 2007, Rivera appeared at WrestleMania 23 along with Miss USA 2007 Rachel Smith and Miss Teen USA 2006 Katie Blair, supporting Donald Trump in the Battle of the Billionaires match against Vince McMahon.\nShe passed on her crown to Japan's Riyo Mori at the Miss Universe 2007 pageant, which was held in Mexico City, Mexico on May 28, 2007.\n\n\nActing career\nAfter finishing her reign as Miss Universe, Rivera expressed her interest in an acting career. She debuted in the 2007 telenovela Dame Chocolate with Carlos Ponce and Karla Monroig. In 2010, she was offered the role of antagonist Roc\u00edo Lynch in the telenovela Alguien Te Mira. Later that year, she starred in Aurora as another antagonist, Diana del Valle.After a brief hiatus due to her pregnancy, Rivera returned to acting in 2012, with a lead role in Rosario. Rivera again plays the role of antagonist Sandra D\u00edaz. In an interview, Rivera said that she has acknowledged she has \"the skills for this kind of [antagonist] roles... I handle them pretty well.\" In 2013, Rivera announced she would play the antagonist lead in the upcoming telenovela Cosita linda, which will start filming in May.Rivera also had a small role on the film Runner, Runner.\n\n\nPersonal life\nFrom late 2010 to 2013, Rivera dated Dallas Mavericks point guard J. J. Barea. In July 2011, the couple announced they were expecting their first child together. Rivera gave birth to her son Sebasti\u00e1n Jos\u00e9 Barea Rivera in Minnesota on February 18, 2012. Barea was present during the birth.During early 2013, there was much speculation that the relationship between Rivera and Barea had ended. However, she assured on an interview that they were still together. On April 18, 2013, Barea released a statement confirming that the relationship was over. Rivera responded with a statement of her own alleging \"false information\" on Barea's statement. On her statement, Rivera says that \"ever since I began filming the telenovela Rosario, there weren't two consecutive weeks where I didn't travel to Minnesota, a place I considered my home, along with the father of my child.\" She added that she still has the satisfaction \"as a woman and mother, that I gave all of me in exchange for our happiness. But this is a labor of two. Life goes on and I keep on going with my head held high.\"In 2018, Rivera became a brand ambassador for Eravos.\n\n\nFilmography\n\n\nFilms\n\n\nTelevision\n\n\nMusic videos\n\n\nSee also\nList of Puerto Ricans\nHistory of women in Puerto Rico\nMiss Universe 2006\nMiss Puerto Rico Universe 2006\n\n\nReferences\n\n\nExternal links\n\nAn Interview with Zuleyka prior to her winning Miss Universe 2006\nMiss Universe official website\nZuleyka Rivera at IMDb\nZuleuka Rivera"}}}}

{"batchcomplete":"","query":{"pages":{"15053649":{"pageid":15053649,"ns":0,"title":"Zygaena","extract":"Zygaena is a genus of moths in the family Zygaenidae. These brightly coloured, day-flying moths are native to the West Palearctic.\n\n\nDescription\nAdalbert Seitz described them thus: \n\n\"Small, stout, black insects, sometimes with metallic gloss. Antenna very strongly developed; the club being considerably incrassate distally. Tongue long and strong. Legs rather short. Forewing elongate oval,black or red, rarely spotted with white or yellow. Hindwing small, usually red, seldom black. \u2014Larva strongly humpbacked, very soft, downy-haired. Pupa in a paper-like silky cocoon, the sheaths of legs and wings being loosely soldered together. The moths are mostly local, their stations being often restricted to a mountain, a meadow, etc. They appear mostly in large numbers at their special localities, swarming about flowers, which they suck, fore instance Scabious, Thistles, Eryngium, etc., their flight being slow and straight on. The body of these insects contains, as in the other Zygaenids, a yellow , acrid, oily hquid which renders them nauseous, protecting them not only against their enemies among the vertebrates, but apparently even against predatory insects, fore instance Asilids. Like all insects protected by the body-juices, they are extremely tenacious of life, enduring considerable wounds as well as resisting strong poison for some time (cyanide of potassium). They conceal themselves in no way, mostly resting conspicuously on stalks or sprigs, hardly taking to the wing when touched, so that one can often pick them off by the long antennae.\nThe latter are not concealed beneath the wings when at rest, as in other Heterocera, but are held straight forwaid. The main locality for the genus are the Mediterranean coast districts, of Europe as well as of the Atlas countries and the Levant, where the Zygaenae occur in a great abundance of forms, which partly intergrade and are found in immense numbers of specimens. There are often several individuals of different species on a flower, which easily explains that hybridisation obtains here more often than in any other group of Lepidoptera. However, such copulations appear to be mostly without result. The Zygaenae are best killed by injection of some strong tobacco juice With the help of the hollow needle of a morphia syringe.As in all protected Lepidoptera the specifically distinct forms are without exception very common at their localities, the commercial value depending solely on the accessibleness of these places. The number of species is largest in South Europe, North Africa and Asia Minor, thence decreasing rapidly in all directions. The pacific coast of Asia is reached by one species only and the higher North of Europe by two, while not one occurs in South Asia. Outside the Palaearctic Region there occur only a few speciesin South and East Africa, while two Palaearctic forms extend into the Punjab and the Nepalese valleys of the Himalayas.The species are on the whole very similar to one another and also very constant, varying only in certain directions. There occur of nearly all species individuals for instance with yellow instead of red markings. The normally six-spotted species may exceptionally have five spots, and inversely. In species which bear a red belt the latter may sometimes be absent, and in non-belted forms the belt may appear in rare cases. The spots of the forewing may be edged with white and merged. Lastly, the marginal band of the hindwing may be so widened as to more or less displace the red ground-colour. These various aberrations have in may cases received names.\n\n\nSpecies\nSubgenus Mesembrynus H\u00fcbner, [1819]\n\nSubgenus Agrumenia H\u00fcbner, [1819]\n\nSubgenus Zygaena Fabricius, 1775\n\n\nReferences\n\nA.

One of the leaders of the Vojvodina communist Partisans during World War II, he was imprisoned and released after being tortured by the Nazis for months, and later killed while trying to avoid recapture.The former Serbian name of the city was Be\u010dkerek (\u0411\u0435\u0447\u043a\u0435\u0440\u0435\u043a) or Veliki Be\u010dkerek (\u0412\u0435\u043b\u0438\u043a\u0438 \u0411\u0435\u0447\u043a\u0435\u0440\u0435\u043a). In 1935 the city was renamed to Petrovgrad (\u041f\u0435\u0442\u0440\u043e\u0432\u0433\u0440\u0430\u0434) in honor of king Peter I of Serbia. It was called Petrovgrad from 1935 to 1946.\nIn Hungarian, the city is known as Nagybecskerek, in German as Gro\u00dfbetschkerek or Betschkerek, in Romanian as Becicherecul Mare or Zrenianin, in Slovak as Zre\u0148anin, in Rusin as \u0417\u0440\u0435\u045a\u0430\u043d\u0438\u043d, in Croatian as Zrenjanin, and in Turkish as Be\u015fkelek (meaning five melons) or Be\u00e7kerek.\nIt is assumed that Zrenjanin's original name, Be\u010dkerek/Becskerek, comes from Hungarian word kerek (\"forest, grove\") and the surname of the 14th-century nobleman, Imre Becsei, who had large estates in the area. Therefore, the name would be translated into English as \"Becsei's Forest\".\nThe original name received an adjective meaning \"great/big/major\" in the languages of the Banat (Serbian: Veliki or \u0412\u0435\u043b\u0438\u043a\u0438, Danube Swabian: Gro\u00df, Hungarian: Nagy, Romanian: Mare), to distinguish it from a village of the same name in the Romanian Banat, that is usually referred to as small Be\u010dkerek (cf. Serbian: Mali Be\u010dkerek or \u041c\u0430\u043b\u0438 \u0411\u0435\u0447\u043a\u0435\u0440\u0435\u043a, Danube Swabian: Kleinbetschkerek, Romanian: Becicherecu Mic, Hungarian: Kisbecskerek).\n\n\nHistory\n\n\nPrehistory\n\nPrehistory can be divided into the Palaeolithic \u2013 Old Stone Age and the Neolithic \u2013 New Stone Age. In Zrenjanin's regions no archaeological sites of the Palaeolithic have been found. The only exception makes the discovery of mammoth\u2019s head and other bones found on the banks of Tisa River near Novi Be\u010dej in the year 1952. The discovered archaeological sites, however, indicate that these regions had already been inhabited in the early Neolithic period about 5000 years BC. The most important archaeological site from this period is so-called Krsti\u0107 tumulus, near Mu\u017elja, about 10 km (6 mi) away from Zrenjanin. Here were found the ceramics, with interesting ornaments. Beside the brewery ground have been found rough, with coloured fine ceramics, ornaments (Star\u010devo culture). The middle Neolithic appeared in our area as Vin\u010da and Potisje culture, in the down course of the Tisa River. What makes this area important is the fact that the influence of two parallel cultures flew through it at the same time. The Iron Age has not been enough explored yet. A few regions with some archaeological materials from the Iron Age have been found: in the residential area \u0160umica a tip of a spear was found and near the oil factory, pieces of ceramics from the Bronze Age were discovered.\nAt the beginning of the common era, this area was settled by many native tribes, but also by many newcomer tribes: the Illyrians, the Celts, the Goths, the Geths, the Sarmatian and Jazghs. In the end of the third century and in the middle of the fourth century, in the area of Zrenjanin and its surroundings, the Sarmatian tribe Roxolani appeared. From this period a Sarmatian\u2019s graveyard has been found in a city residential district, near the railroad bridge. Finally in the necropolis, not far from Aradac, \u201cMe\u010dka\u201d, more than 120 graves, which date from the end of the sixth and the beginning of the seventh century, have been excavated in 1952.\n\n\nMiddle Ages\n \nThe first historical records mentioning Zrenjanin (Be\u010dkerek) date from the 14th century, the time when Charles I, King of Hungary and Croatia (1301\u20131342), used to visit Banat and spend time in his capital Timi\u0219oara. (Near today's Zrenjanin a coin was found with the inscription \"Charles I\".) Many noblemen came with the King, including the powerful Imre Becsei. The areas where Becsei settled down were named for him, \u201cBechereki\u201d and \u201cBeche\u201d (Novi Be\u010dej). \nThe oldest written records of Be\u010dkerek date from Budim Capitulum\u2019s document of collecting the Pope\u2019s tens taxes in 1326, 1331 and 1332. Judging by the size of the taxes, Be\u010dkerek of 1330s was an average village. The first settlers were the landless Hungarian peasants. There were the Serbs in Banat, too. During the reign of Louis I of Hungary (1343\u20131382), more Serbs migrated to the area from the south, and with them many Orthodox priests.\nAfter the Turkish victory at the battle of Nicopolis (1396) the Hungarian King Sigismund (1387\u20131437) was considering defending the territory settled by the Serbs, and he is known to have visited Be\u010dkerek on September 30, 1398. The town was granted to Stefan Lazarevi\u0107 at the end of the 1403. The despot became the vassal of the Hungarian King; but he got Be\u010dkerek and the title of the Great Head of the Toront\u00e1l County.\n\n\nOttoman period\n \nThe Hungarian King Ferdinand appointed friar Djordje Martinovi\u0107, a commander of his forces, to defend the town from the Ottomans. Hungary was attacked by 80,000 Ottoman soldiers under the command of Vizier Sokollu Mehmed Pasha. On September 15, 1551, the siege of the town Be\u010dej was raised and the town was taken after four days. On September 24 the Be\u010dkerek fortress was sieged. Many people left town earlier and with few defenders the town couldn't be defended and those eighty, who left surrendered the next day. Malkovi\u0107 was appointed the lord of Be\u010dkerek. After the Ottomans had taken Timi\u0219oara in 1552, Banat became a special province, the Teme\u015fvar Eyalet, which was made up of several sanjaks, one of which was the Sanjak of Be\u00e7kerek.\nDuring Ottoman occupation, the sanjak had a military administration. Due to good behaviour of the rayah, the inhabitants were exempt from war taxes. During the 165 years of Ottoman rule, Be\u010dkerek consisted of two separate settlements: the settlement of Be\u010dkerek and the village of Gradnulica. The town was divided into two parts, a Turkish and a Serbian. The Turkish part was fenced and closed, while the Serbian one was open. On the main square there was a large mosque built and inside the fortress there was a little one. There was a Turkish bath, and around it there were about twenty stores. Gradnulica was a disorderly village, whose centre was approximately on the crossroad of the present streets Sindjeli\u0107eva and Djurdjevska. Prior to Ottoman occupation, the citizens were Serbs and Hungarians. At the end of the 18th century there were about fifty Turkish families.\nAccording to the Treaty of Karlowitz (1699), the Teme\u015fvar Eyalet, including Be\u010dkerek, stayed under Ottoman rule, while bordering territories once again came under the Military Frontier. After the Austro-Turkish War of 1716\u201318 Be\u010dkerek went under Habsburg rule.\n\n\nHabsburg and Austrian period (1718\u20131914)\n\nAs a crown province, Banat belonged directly to the Vienna court. The first governor, appointed by the Emperor, was Count Claudius Mercy. By the imperial edict on September 12, 1718, Banat was divided into 13 districts, with the main administration in Timi\u0219oara at its head. The District of Banat included a few settlements: Idjo\u0161, Ara\u010d, Be\u010dej, Itebej, Elemir, E\u010dka and Aradac. The first chief of this district was Titus Vespanius Slucki. After the Turkish forces and Turks families had withdrawn, the land was left devastated without labour, which could till the soil and paid taxes. That's why the Austrian court tried to settle Banat as soon as possible. \nThe colonization lasted from 1718 till 1724, when the town was settled mostly by Germans, but the Serbs never stopped arriving. The military frontier in Potisje was displaced. In the following years Italians, Frenchmen, Romanians arrived and then the Catalans from Barcelona, who escaped the repression after the War of the Spanish Succession and settled in a place which is now the suburb of Dolja within Zrenjanin. The town was called New Barcelona. But the life was difficult in this marsh area with many contagious diseases, so many of them died and still many left. \n\nIn the summer of 1738 there was the great plague. The Count Mersy wanted to turn marshes into fertile soil and he began to regulate the Begej River. In the middle and down course of the river a long canal was built, to make the river traffic possible between Be\u010dkerek and Timi\u0219oara. On the first of November 1745 Sebastian Krazeisen began to make beer in the first brewery and that meant the first start of the industrialization. In the same year the first Serb\u2019s school was mentioned. \nOn 6 June 1769 Maria Theresa granted the Community of Great Be\u010dkerek, the privilege of becoming the trading centre. By this privilege the whole social-economic life of the former Be\u010dkerek was regulated and it got the status of the town. In 1769 the first hospital was built. In 1779, by the new organization of Toront\u00e1l County, Be\u010dkerek became its centre. The city was briefly restored to Ottoman administration from 1787 to 1788 during Austro-Turkish War (1787\u201391).\n\nIn the 18th century it developed into thriving economic and cultural centre, but the great fire destroyed a large portion of the town in 1807. The town was soon rebuilt. The fire came from the brewery, on 30 August 1807. After the fire a new regulation of streets had been done, houses had been built from stronger materials, roads had been rebuilt. The river traffic was especially intensive. The theatre building with an attractively decorated hall was built in 1839. In 1846 the Grammar School was opened and in 1847 the first printing shop.\nThe 1848\u201349 Revolutions had its impact on Be\u010dkerek. The Serbs revolted, aiming for autonomy within the Austrian Empire. At the May Assembly (13\u201315 May 1848), the Serbian Vojvodina was proclaimed, including most of what is today Vojvodina. Serbs from Be\u010dkerek participated in the uprising against Hungarian authority (which refused Serb rights) and from 26 January to 29 April 1849 the town was under Serb rebel control. In 1849, the town became part of the Voivodeship of Serbia and Banat of Temeschwar until 1860.\nAlthough that time was known in history as a period of Bach's absolutism, the second part of the 19th century brought the town new developing benefits. New industrial facilities and handicraft stores were opened in every part of the town. Late 19th and early 20th century was progressive period for Veliki Be\u010dkerek. Railway arrived in 1883, while post office was opened back in 1737.\n\n\nWorld War I and the Kingdom of Yugoslavia\n\nAfter the Sarajevo assassination, more than 30 citizens of Be\u010dkerek were accused by the Austria-Hungary\u2019s authorities of high treason. Among them was Dr Emil Gavrila, who together with Svetozar Mileti\u0107 and Ja\u0161a Tomi\u0107, worked very hard on the cultural and social strengthening of Serbs.\nThose Serbs recruited in the Austria-Hungary's army began to desert so they would not fight their own people.\n7,000 of them formed volunteer detachments (people were from Banat and Srem) at the Eastern front and fought at Dobruja, but 79 of them fought on the Salonice front, too.\nAfter years, the Serbs forces made a breakthrough of the Salonice front in 1918 and began to liberate their own country. The First Army in command of Vojvoda Petar Bojovi\u0107 freed Belgrade on 1 November 1918 and began to occupy Vojvodina.\nOn 17 November Serbian army arrived at Veliki Be\u010dkerek. On 31 October 1918, the Serb Chamber of People of the town founded in the war conditions, as a temporary authority with Dr Slavko \u017dupunski at its head. Serb army, the infantry iron regiment \u201cPrince Mihajlo\u201d and the infantry brigade with Colonel Dragutin Risti\u0107 in command came into the town on 17 November 1918.\nA few days after Vojvodina had been occupied, its provinces were attached to the Kingdom of Serbs and on December 1, 1918, the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes was founded, as the first South Slavic state.\nThe town of Veliki Be\u010dkerek became the administrative centre of Torontal-Tami\u0161 County, and after its repealing, the town became the headquarters of District Office. In 1929 the town became part of the Danube Banovina. By the Town Council decision made on 29 September 1934, and confirmed by the Town Authority on 18 February 1935, the town was renamed Petrovgrad, after the king Peter I.\n\n\nSecond World War and SFR Yugoslavia\n\nAfter the Kingdom of Yugoslavia had capitulated on 18 April 1941, and Nazi Germany occupied the country, the German Forces came into Petrovgrad. The authority in Banat had domestic Germans \u2013 Volksdeutsche, who immediately started to confiscate Jews' property and arrested patriots. The town was renamed Great Be\u010dkerek and it was the headquarters of the occupation authority for Banat (1941-44), headed by Juraj \u0160piler, and a concentration camp in Cara Du\u0161ana Street.\nThe camp existed for almost two years and thousands of people passed through it. In town there were many underground groups supported by the Communist Party, which fought the German occupiers and the Germans made reprisals.\nOn 2 October 1944, the Red Army Forces came into town, and, after a short fight, took command of most vital public buildings.\nThe following day the first meeting on National Liberation Committee for the town Petrovgrad was held.\nEight members of the national liberation resistance, from the town and its surroundings were announced National Heroes: \u017darko Zrenjanin, Svetozar Markovi\u0107 Toza, Pap Pavle, Stevica Jovanovi\u0107, Servo Mihalj, Dr. Bo\u0161ko Vrebalov, Nedeljko Barni\u0107 \u017darki, Bora Mikin Marko. During World War II, the town infrastructure was kept almost saved. Except in the final fights for the town, there were no war actions on the territory of the town. The Germans tried to damage and destroy some industrial buildings, but it was prevented. Only Anau-Winkler\u2019s mill and the monumental Jewish synagogue in the centre of the town were destroyed.\nAfter World War II important social-political changes were made in the country, which, of course, had their influence on the development of Zrenjanin, newly named in 1946. In August 1945 the Agriculture Reform Act came into force, in June 1950 the Worker Self-Management Act, in 1959 the first direct urban plan of the town development, which indicated the urbanism-economic development of the town, was passed.\nThe development, in the first after war decade, was directed by the directive plans, which were based on the principles of socialist economy in which the most important industrial branches were industry and agriculture. By the 1980s many people left their villages and moved into towns which brought many changes in the social, educational and ethnic structure of the town. There was permanently shortage of housing. That is why many new parts of the town and many new apartment buildings were built. Zrenjanin became an important agricultural, industrial, cultural and sport centre, at the time Zrenjanin was one of the most powerful industrial centres of the Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia led by Josip Broz Tito.\n\n\nAfter 1991\n\nThe town's development has always been strongly affected by the social-economic circumstances reflecting the State surroundings that Zrenjanin found in. At the beginning of 1990s, when the war broke out on the territory of the former Yugoslavia, and the country was falling apart, it led to rather hard social and economic crisis in this area, All that caused an economic stagnation, unemployment, large migrations of refugees from the former Yugoslav Republics: Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina. \nThe town experienced the first political changes by the introducing of multiparty system at the end of 1996 when the local government was ruled by the coalition Zajedno (Together) and in 2000 by the coalition Democratic opposition of Serbia.\nOn March 24, 1999, the NATO bombing of Serbia began but the town was not targeted. Life in the town was quite normal, in spite of the dangerous situation elsewhere in the country. \nIn the first years after the end of war activities the Town and its citizens have been adjusting to new economic and social-economic conditions, known as transition. Instead of previous large economic combines and companies plenty of new flexible private enterprises are established and foreign capital is starting to flow in Zrenjanin. New industrial and work and residential zones are formed and the Town's General Plan 2006-2026 and Sustainable Development Strategy 2006-2013 are made and approved. At the end of 2007, introducing a new national territorial organisation followed by necessary legislation, the Municipality of Zrenjanin has been upgraded to an administrative and territorial status of a city.\nIt is near that town that the Vera Renczi, the notorious \"Black Widow\", lived in her chateau of Berkerekul, where, out of raging jealousy, she poisoned her two husbands, her 10-year-old son and 32 lovers starting in 1925. She placed all the corpses in zinc coffins in the chateau crypt and used to talk to them, drinking champagne. She was arrested in 1930, condemned to death, sentence commuted to life in prison because, at that time, Yugoslavia did not execute women. She became complete insane and died in the town asylum in 1960.\n\n\nGeography\nZrenjanin is situated on the western edge of the Banat loess plateau, at the place where the canalized River Begej flows into the former water course of the River Tisa.

It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home of PAS Giannina. The rock band Scorpions held a concert in the Zosimades Stadium in 2010.\n\n\nHistory\nIn 1934, at the suggestion of the surgeon-doctor Periklis Yannis and the tireless and pious efforts of the then Metropolitan of Ioannina and later Archbishop of Athens and all Greece Spyridon (Vlachos), the sports facilities were moved to the place where the National Stage of Zosimades \"Of course, it might have been used before, about the end of 1932 to the beginning of 1933. In that area, there was an extensive area known as the \"Hoja Field\", which apparently once belonged to a Hoxha, but which was small to meet the needs of a permanent stadium in the city. Then Metropolitan Spyridon himself visited the area surrounded by poor little houses that had small gardens and little fields. With fiery patriotic words he persuaded the inhabitants of this land, to give up some of their properties to create the foreseen land and eventually to build a decent stage where the youth would train. So the first decent stage was created in the city. The space is bought in part over a period of 20 years. Its original form is completely different. The changing rooms were in the courtyards next to the houses, namely in the courtyard of Mrs. Kostena.\nThe foundation stone of the new stadium was set on October 18, 1936. The ceremony was attended by the government, local and ecclesiastical authorities. Also at the ceremony were students from the schools and schools of the city but also a crowd of people.\nHis first administration, on 4 September 1945, gave him the name Zosimades, in honor of the Zosimades brothers.\nIn the beginning the Metropolis provided enough money to fencing the new stadium by building a huge stone wall around it. A little later, around 1959 to 1960, the Metropolis built, on the north side of the stadium, a capacity of about five hundred spectators, with the ultimate goal of securing ownership of the stadium, as there was nothing to prove its ownership. This regime lasted until the Duchy of the Colonels, so on a visit by the then Secretary-General of Sports Konstantinos Aslanidis who, seeing this enormous space in the middle of the city, was positively impressed and asked for a study to be made as soon as possible built a decent stage worthy of the historic city of Ioannina. As a matter of course, it was a matter of ownership of the stadium, because it was not possible to disburse money from the General Secretariat of Sports and the owner was the Metropolis. Eventually it was bought by the state and so it finally ended the issue.\nIn 1965, a preliminary study of electrification of the stadium by Siemens was made. In 1966 the athletics track would be entered while the study also provided a swimming pool. In 1993 strong winds destroyed the then sheltered platform, opposite the large enclosure.\nIn 2000 the headlamps were placed and the seats were replaced. The stadium has 8 headlights (2 in each corner) until the four headlamps have been transported to Rizoupoli. In the summer of 2007 the turf was changed. In 2009, the old roof was rebuilt, 16 years after the disaster. In July and August 2010, the turf was changed again, as well as some piping work. The slope of the stadium fell more (from 71 cm to 41), which is in line with the UEFA standards. In September of the same year, tourniquets were placed at the entrances. In the summer of 2016 the stadium hosted a match in the second qualifying round of the Europa League 2016-17 after some works that were made (mainly the growth of the field). In its present form, however, it can not host competitions from the third qualifying round then. In the summer of 2017, drainage works and turf change were made once again within a few years.\n\n\nExtra-football activities\n\n\nConcerts\nOn 5 July 2010, a concert was held by the rock band Scorpions.\n\n\nReferences\n\n\nLinks\nhttp://www.peaki.gr/ (Greek)\nProfile at PEAKI.gr (in Greek)\nZosimades Stadium at Stadia.gr (in Greek)"}}}}

Neighboring districts were (from north-east clockwise) Chemnitzer Land, Stollberg, Aue-Schwarzenberg, Vogtlandkreis, and the districts Greiz and Altenburger Land in Thuringia. The district-free city of Zwickau was located in the center of the district and nearly completely surrounded by it.\n\n\nHistory\nIn early days Zwickau was the starting point for the settlement of a whole region. The first official document of the \u201dterritorim zwickaw\u201d dates from May 1, 1118. The settlement by German farmers took mainly place in the second half of the 12th century. At the same time castles were built. A special area was administered by a bailiff, as a representative of the governor. The Wettiners were the most powerful rulers in Saxony in the 13th century. In the region of Zwickau the sovereign of Sch\u00f6nburg and Wildenfels were given the rule over their comparatively small territories.\nWith the division of the Saxon country the administrative structures became unclear in Leipzig in 1485. The borderline between albertinian and ernestinian possession was tangent to the Zwickauer city boundary. With the development of the Saxon state uniformed administrative structures began gradually to develop. In the Middle Ages the Saxon area was divided into governor\u2019s residence, apart from the central administration. Out of this new jobs developed in the 15th century. The \u201cadministrators\u201d (Amtsmann) practised the jurisdiction, and were responsible for the military quantity and public security.\nThe administrators came from the rural aristocracy. The noble administrator was promoted to the \u201cchief administrator\u201d (Amtshauptmann) during the following century, who usually supervised two to four offices. At the same time the \u201cKursaxon\u201d territory was divided into districts for a better administration. The district was headed by a \u201ccounty administrator\u201d (Kreishauptmann or Oberhauptmann).\nDuring the whole Middle Ages and afterwards \u2013 even until our century - the city Zwickau with their surrounding area was regarded as a unit, concerning administrative matters.\nOngoing conflicts, for example the Thirty Years' War and the Seven Years' War, influenced the administration negatively.\nZwickau was the seat of the chief administrator. Since 1828, additionally the county administrators ruled from there the Southwest and the middle \u201cErzgebirge\u201d and the suburbs.\nOnly in 1835, became the regional administration a new structure. The county administrators were replaced by \u201cdistrict directions\u201d (Kreisdirektion) in Dresden, Leipzig, Bautzen and Zwickau. The chief administrators in Zwickau, Chemnitz, Wolkenstein, Plauen and in the territory of the sovereign of Sch\u00f6nburg belonged to the district direction Zwickau.\nThe following offices were headed by the chief administrator in Zwickau: Kirchberg, Werdau, Schwarzenberg, Eibenstock and of course Zwickau. Hartenstein, Lichtenstein, Stein, Waldenburg and Glauchau were controlled by the sovereign of Sch\u00f6nburg.\nIn 1856 an important step toward modern administration was done with the establishment of new administration offices, the \u201coffices of court\u201d (Gerichtsamt). Thereby the old office organization could be overcome.\nIn 1873 justice and administration were separated. Now the offices of court were only responsible for the law. The \u201cadministration crews\u201d (Amtshauptmannschaft) were responsible for the administration. There were four \u201ccounty administration crews\u201d (Kreishauptmannschaften), which were created as organs of the Saxon government. The county administration crew of Zwickau consisted of the administration crews in Annaberg, Auerbach, Chemnitz, Fl\u00f6ha, Marienberg, Oelsnitz, Plauen, Schwarzenberg and Zwickau.\nIn 1919 a branch office of Zwickau was opened in Werdau. It became an independent office in 1920, but in 1933 it was affiliated to Zwickau again.\nThe rural constitution of 1946 as well as the Saxon constitution of 1947 established democratic values in Saxony again, like they had existed before the beginning of the Third Reich.\nNow part of the German Democratic Republic (East Germany), the federal state of Saxony was liquidated as part of the administration reforms implemented from July 23, 1952. At the same time the former district Zwickau was divided into the districts Werdau and Zwickau. The area of the district Zwickau received a strong reduction. A considerable part turned into the district Werdau; furthermore, parts of the Zwickauer area were added to the district of Reichenbach. On the other hand the \"M\u00fclsengrund\" was extracted from the district Glauchau and was affiliated to the district Zwickau.\nWith the dramatic events in autumn 1989, the Berlin Wall came down. The German Democratic Republic ceased to exist as Germany was re-united. With Saxon parliamentary elections on October 14, 1990, the federal state of Saxony was re-established. On May 6, 1990 local elections took place. At the constituent meeting of district assembly Christian Otto was elected head of the administration of the district Zwickau. In the district Werdau the citizens elected Georg Hamburg to head of the administration.\nWith the district reform on August 1, 1994, the rural district \u201cZwickauer Land\u201d was created, seated in Werdau. With the termination of the municipality regional reorganization on January 1, 1999, the district changed its geographical face again. The places Cainsdorf, Mosel, Oberrothenbach and Schlunzig were affiliated to Zwickau against the will of the people living there.\nIn August 2008, as a part of the district reform in Saxony, the districts of Zwickauer Land, Chemnitzer Land and the urban district Zwickau were merged into the new district Zwickau.\n\n\nGeography\nThe district is located in the Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge), with the main river s being the Zwickauer Mulde and the Plei\u00dfe.\n\n\nTowns and municipalities\n\n\nExternal links\nOfficial website (German, English)"}}}}

In a February 2016 survey of Florida voters done by Public Policy Polling, 10% of respondents stated that they believed Cruz was the killer, while 28% felt that the possibility could not be ruled out. Cruz was born in 1970, the year after the last confirmed Zodiac-related murder was committed. One columnist observed that the rumor campaign's persistence, despite its complete implausibility, is \"a matter of style over substance\". Several people involved with the meme acknowledged to National Public Radio that they were well aware that Cruz could not possibly be the killer, and added, \"... it's all about a feeling they have about Cruz: they think he's creepy.\" Cruz himself has acknowledged the meme, tweeting a photo of one of the killer's coded messages in October 2017. In 2020, following the decryption of a previously undecipherable letter from the Zodiac Killer, Cruz once again acknowledged the meme.\n\n\nReferences"}}}}

{"batchcomplete":"","query":{"pages":{"24661395":{"pageid":24661395,"ns":0,"title":"Zunbils","extract":"Zunbil, also written as Zhunbil, or Rutbils of Zabulistan, was a royal dynasty south of the Hindu Kush in present southern Afghanistan region. They ruled from circa 680 AD until the Saffarid conquest in 870 AD. The Zunbil dynasty was founded by Rutbil (Turkic: Ilt\u00e4b\u00e4r), the elder brother of the Turk Shahi ruler (either Barha Tegin or Tegin Shah), who ruled over a Khalaj -Hephthalite kingdom from his capital in Kabul. The Zunbils are described as having Turkish troops in their service by Arabic sources like Tarikh al-Tabari and Tarikh-i Sistan.The faith of this community has not been researched as much. According to the interpretation of Chinese sources by Marquarts and de Groots in 1915, the king of Ts'ao is said to have worn a crown with a golden fish head and was related to the Sogdians. The Temple of the Zun was recognizable by a large fish skeleton on display; this would indicate a related merchantry deity. In addition to that Marquarts states the Zunbils to have worshipped a solar deity which might have been connected to Aditya (Surya). However, according to Sh\u014dshin Kuwayama there was a clear dichotomy between worshipers of the Hindu god Surya and followers of Zhun. This is exemplified by the conflict between Surya and Zhun followers, which lead to the followers of Zhun migrating southwards towards Zabulistan from Kapisa.[1] According to Andr\u00e9 Wink the followers of this god were primarily Hindu, though parallels have also been noted with pre-Buddhist religious and monarchy practices in Tibet and had Zoroastrian influence in its ritual. Other scholars such as H. Schaeder and N. Sims-William have connected it with the Zoroastrian deity of time.Their territory included between what is now the city of Zaranj in southwestern Afghanistan and Kabulistan in the northeast, with Zamindawar and Ghazni serving as their capitals. In the south their territory reached at times the cities of Rakhwad (al-Rukhkhaj) and Bost (near Kandahar).The title Zunbil can be traced back to the Middle-Persian original Z\u016bn-d\u0101tbar, 'Zun the Justice-giver'. The geographical name Zamindawar would also reflect this, from Middle Persian 'Zamin-i d\u0101tbar' (Land of the Justice-giver).\n\n\nZabulistan under the Turks\n\nDuring more than two centuries of their rule, the Tokhara Yabghus, followed by the Turk Shahis and the Zunbils were consistently an obstacle to the eastward expansion of Muslims forces.\n\n\nEarly Arab incursions in Zabulistan\n\n\nRashiduns\nAbout 643-644 AD, the Arabs raided Sistan for the first time, and then started to attack the Turkic territory from the southwest.In 653-4 AD, an army of around 6,000 Arabs was led by general Abd al-Rahman ibn Samura of the Rashidun Caliphate, and they arrived to the shrine of Zoon in Zamindawar. It is reported that Samura \"broke off a hand of the idol and plucked out the rubies which were its eyes in order to persuade the marzb\u0101n of S\u012bst\u0101n of the god's worthlessness.\" Samura explained to the marzb\u0101n: \"my intention was to show you that this idol can do neither any harm nor good.\"\n\n\nUmayyad Caliphate\nCirca 665 AD, the Arabs under Abd al-Rahman ibn Samura, a general of the Umayyad Caliphate and caliphal governor of Sijistan, captured Kabul for the first time, critically weakening the Nezak Huns. But the Turkic ruler Barha Tegin was soon able to mount a counter-offensive and repulse the Arabs, taking back the areas of Kabul and Zabulistan (around Ghazni), as well as the region of Arachosia as far as Kandahar, and founding the new dynasty of the Turk Shahis circa 665 AD.Rutbil is first mentioned to have existed during his time, as his earliest mention in Arab sources dates to 666 CE. Rutbil may have been the brother or nephew of Barha Tegin, and may have been appointed as the governor in Zabulistan by Barha Tegin after he conquered the region from Ghar-ilchi.Rutbil and the king of Kabul campaigned together against the Arabs after Abdur Rahman ibn Samura was replaced as the governor of Sistan. Rabi ibn Ziyad al-Harithi upon assuming governorship in 671 CE attacked Rutbil at Bost, and drove him to al-Rukhkhaj. Rabi's successor Ubayd Allah ibn Abi Bakra continued the war upon being appointed in 673 CE, leading Rutbil to negotiate a peace treaty for both Kabul and Zabul, in which the governor of Sistan acknowledged control of these territories by Rutbil and the King of Kabul.\n\n\nEstablishment of the Zunbils (680 CE)\nAround the time the first ruler of the Turk Shahis Barha Tegin died, his dynasty split into two kingdoms. From 680 AD, Tegin Shah became the king of the Turk Shahis, and ruled the area from Kabulistan to Gandhara as well as Zabulistan. His title was \"Khorasan Tegin Shah\" (meaning \"Tegin, King of the East\"), and he was known in Chinese sources as Wusan teqin sa. His grand title probably refers to his resistance to the peril of the Umayyad caliph from the west.In 680-683 AD, Rutbil split from his brother the Shahi of Kabul, and established the Zunbil dynasty, paying temporary allegiance to Salm ibn Ziyad, the Arab governor of Sistan. At the time when Salm ibn Ziyad was governor of Sistan (680-683 AD), Rutbil split from his brother, the Shah of Kabul, and established the Zunbil dynasty, paying temporary allegiance to Salm ibn Ziyad. The area of Zabulistan came to be ruled by Rutbil, also spelled Zibil or Jibul (from Turkic: Ilt\u00e4b\u00e4r \"Commander\").The relationship between the two relatives was at times antagonistic, but they fought together against Arab incursions. Rubtil issued coins derived from Sassanian prototypes, with a Bactrian script legend on the obverse, a Pahlavi script legend on the reverse, and a short Brahmi script legend in the name of \u015ar\u012b V\u0101khudeva\u1e25 (\"His Highness the Majestic Lord\"):\n\nObverse: yypwlh. wtyp\u2019 / GDH / \u2019pzwtPWN \u0160MY yzt\u2019 yypwl bgyh. wtyp\u2019 wh. m\u2019n\u2019n mlt\u2019n MLK\u2019\nKing Jibul, [his] glory increased!\nIn the name of god, Jibul, the Majestic Lord [is] King of brave men\nReverse: \u015ar\u012b V\u0101khudeva\u1e25 / pncdh. z\u2019wlst\u2019n / \u2019pl plm\u2019n yzd\u2019n\nHis Highness the Majestic Lord / [minted in his] 15th [regnal year in] Zavulistan, by the order of the gods.\n\nAccording to Anthony McNicoll, \"the Zunbils ruled in the Kandahar area for nearly 250 years until the late 9th century AD\". Their main capital Zamindawar was located in the present-day Helmand Province of Afghanistan. The shrine of Zoon was located about three miles south of Musa Qala in Helmand, which may still be traced today. Some believe that the Sunagir temple mentioned by the famous Chinese traveler Xuanzang in 640 AD pertains to this exact house of worship.\n\n\nUmayyad Caliphate offensives (698-700 CE)\nIn 698 Ubayd Allah ibn Abi Bakra, governor of Sijistan and a military commander of the Umayyad Caliphate, led an 'Army of Destruction' against the Zunbils. He was defeated and was forced to offer a large tribute, give hostages including three of his sons, and take an oath not to invade the territory of the Zunbils again.About 700, Al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf appointed Ibn al-Ash'ath as commander of a huge Iraqi army, the so-called \"Peacock Army\", to subdue the troublesome principality of Zabulistan. During the campaign, al-Hajjaj's overbearing behaviour caused Ibn al-Ash'ath and the army to rebel. After patching up an agreement with the Zunbils, the army started on its march back to Iraq. On the way, a mutiny against al-Hajjaj developed into a full-fledged anti-Umayyad rebellion.The Arabs regularly claimed nominal overlordship over the Zunbils, and in 711 Qutayba ibn Muslim managed to force them to pay tribute. In 725-726, Yazid ibn al-Ghurayf, governor of Sistan failed to do so. The Arab would not be able to again obtain tribute from the Zunbils until 769 CE, when Ma'n b. Za'ida al-Shaybanl defeated them near Ghazni.\n\n\nKhuras and his son Alkhis, lords of Ghazni (714-715 CE)\n\nThe Bactrian inscription of Tang-i Safedak, dated to around 714/15 CE, mentions the dedication of a stupa by Alkhis, son of Khuras, lord of \"Gazan\", thought to be Ghazni. Alkhis is considered as the patron of the second period of florescence of the Buddhist sanctuary of Tapa Sardar, characterized in this period by the creation of hybrid Sinicized-Indian Buddhist art.\n\"(It was) the year 492, the month Sbol, when I, Alkhis son of Khuras, lord of Gazan, established this stupa (as) a (pious) foundation(?) in Ragzamagan(?). (At that time) when there was a Turkish ruler and an Arab ruler, the deyadharma (meritorious gifts) made by me were kept . . . , and afterwards I made this Zinaiaka-deyadharma in the willing belief which I had towards the huddha-sastra and in great faith (Sraddha) and in ... Whatever merit (punya ) may arise hereby, now and (in) the future, may I, Alkhis, and my parents and wife and brothers (and) sons and (other) relatives too-may each (and) every one (of us) attain (his) own desire. Homage to the buddhas.\"\n\n\nVassalage to the Yabghus of Tokharistan\n\nAccording to Chinese sources, in particular the chronicles of the Cefu Yuangui, the Turks in Kabul were vassals of the Yabghus of Tokharistan. When a young brother of the Yabghu Pantu Nili, named Puluo (\u50d5\u7f85 P\u00falu\u00f3 in Chinese sources), visited the court of the Tang Dynasty in Xi'an in 718 AD, he gave an account of the military forces in the Tokharistan region. Puluo described the power of \"the Kings of Tokharistan\", explaining that \"Two hundred and twelve kingdoms, governors and prefects\" recognise the authority of the Yabghus, and that it has been so since the time of his grandfather, that is, probably since the time of the establishment of the Yabghus of Tokharistan. This account also shows that the Yabghu of Tokharistan ruled a vast area circa 718 AD, formed of the territories north and south of the Hindu Kush, including the areas of Kabul and Zabul. Finally, Puluo reaffirmed the loyalty of Yabghu Pantu Nili towards the Tang Dynasty.Part of the Chinese entry for this account by Puluo is:\n\nOn the Dingwei day of the eleventh month in the sixth year of the Kaiyuan era, Ashi Tegin Puluo writes to the emperor: Tokhara Yabghu, his elder brother, is controlling as his subordinates two hundred and twelve persons, such as the local kings of various states, dudu (Governors-General), and cishi (heads of regional governments). The king of Zabul rules two hundred thousand soldiers and horses, the king of Kabul two hundred thousand, each king of Khuttal, Chaghanian, Jiesu, Shughnan, Evdal, Kumedha Wa'khan, Guzganan, Bamiyan, Lteyuedejzan, and Badakhshan fifty thousand.\"\n\n\nChinese influence\n\n\nTang Dynasty investiture\nA few Zunbil rulers are named in Chinese sources, especially Shiquer or Zigil (Chinese:\u8a93\u5c48\u723e Sh\u00ecq\u016b'\u00e9r), ruler of Zabulistan from 720 CE and for a few years until 738. A Chinese account from the Tangshu mentions how Zabulistan (Chinese: \u8a93\u4afb Sh\u00ecy\u00f9) was a vassal to the Kabul Shah around 710-720 CE, and how the Zunbil ruler, named \"Shiquer\", was recognized by the Chinese court in 720 CE. Shiquer received the title of Gedaluozhi Xielifa (Chinese: \u845b\u9054\u7f85\u652f\u9821\u5229\u767c). The word \"Geluodazhi\" in this extract (Chinese: \u845b\u7f57\u8fbe\u652f, pronounced in Early Middle Chinese: kat-la-dat-tc\u01d0e), is thought to be a transliteration of the ethnonym Khalaj. Xielifa is the known Chinese transcription of the Turkish \"Ilt\u00e4b\u00e4r\", hence Shiquer was \"Ilt\u00e4b\u00e4r of the Khalaj\":\nThe people from Tujue (Turks), Jibin (Kabul), and Tuhuoluo (Tokharistan) live together in this country [Zabulistan]. Jibin recruits from among them young men to defend against Dashi (Arabs). They sent an envoy to the Tang in the first year of Jingyun (710) to present gifts. Later, they subjugated themselves to Jibin. In the eighth year of Kaiyuan (720), the Emperor approved the enthronement of Gedalouzhi (\"Khalaj\") Xielifa (\"Ilt\u00e4b\u00e4r\") Shiquer. Their envoys came to the royal court several times until the Tianbao era (742\u2013756).\n\n\nVisit by Hyecho (726 CE)\n\nIn 726 CE, the Korean Buddhist monk Hyecho visited Zabulistan (\u8c22\u4afb\u56fd Xi\u0117y\u00f9gu\u00f3) and recorded that Kabul and Zabul were ruled by Turkic kings, who followed Buddhism. According to him, the King of Kabul was the uncle of the king of Zabul.\nFrom Kapisa I travelled further west and after seven days arrived at the country of Zabulistan which its people call She-hu-lo-sa-t'a-na. The native are Hu people; the king and cavalry are Turks. The king, a nephew of the king of Kapisa, himself controls his tribe and the cavalry stationed in this country. It is not subject to other countries, not even his own uncle. Though the king and the chiefs are Turks, they highly revere the Three Jewels. There are many monasteries and monks. Mahayana Buddhism is practiced. There is a great Turkish chief called Sha-tuo-kan, who once a year lays out his gold and silver, which is much more than the king possesses. The dress, customs, and products of this land are similar to those of Kapisa, but the languages are different.\n\n\nChinese artistic influences (680-750 CE)\nChinese artistic influences, on top of nomical political influence, are discernable in the artistic creations under the Zunbils around that time, as seen in the Buddhist monastery of Tepe Sardar. During the period from 680 to 720 CE, essentially Indian post-Gupta start to blend with Chinese stylistic influences, \"a Chinese touch\" discernable in Buddhist works of art.A full-blown \"Chinese phase\" is attributed to the period from 720-750 CE, corresponding to the last major phase of construction and decorations of Buddhist monuments before the Arab conquests. This construction period was possibly marked by the patronage of Alkhis, a contemporary ruler of the Zabul area who was probably of the same ethnicity as the nearby Turk Shahis of Kabul and a member of the Zunbils, or his successors. The period sees a marked evolution in the facial types of the statues, with the Chinese-Indian traits of the previous period moving markedly towards Tang Dynasty styles, and clearly following Tang prototypes. Such phenomenon is also seen in the site of Adzina Tepe. It is thought that Buddhism was particularly strong in China during the rule of Empress Wu Zhao (624-705 CE), and that, together the several missions of Chinese pilgrims to Afghanistan and India, Chinese monks settled in Ghazni from around 700 CE. This activity mirrored the active development of monasteries in Xinjiang during the 7th-8th centuries, and highlight a broad territorial unity of Buddhist kingdoms in Western Central Asia at that time, based on intense exchanges and a westward influence of Chinese Buddhism and artistic styles.The influence of Chinese artistic styles vanishes after 751 CE, when Tang China withdrew from Central Asia following the Battle of Talas.\n\n\nAbbasid Caliphate claim to overlordship (750 CE)\n\nArabic sources recount that, after the Abbasids came to power in 750, the Zunbils made submissions to the third Abbasid Caliph al-Mahdi (r. 775\u2013785), but these appear to have been nominal acts, and the people of the region continued to resist Muslim rule. The Muslim historian Ya'qubi (died 897/8) in his Ta'rikh (\"History\"), recounts that al-Mahdi asked for, and apparently obtained, the submission of various Central Asian rulers, including that of the Zunbils. The original account by Ya'qubi reads:\n\nAl-Mahd\u012b sent messengers to the kings, calling on them to submit, and most of them submitted to him. Among them were the king of K\u0101bul Sh\u0101h, whose name was \u1e24an\u1e25al; the king of \u1e6cabarist\u0101n, the I\u1e63bahbadh; the king of Soghdia, the Ikhsh\u012bd; the king of Tukh\u0101rist\u0101n, Sharwin; the king of Bamiyan, the Sh\u012br; the king of Farghana, ------ ; the king of Usr\u016bshana, Afsh\u012bn; the king of the Kharlukhiyya, Jabgh\u016bya; the king of Sijist\u0101n, Zunb\u012bl; the king of Turks, Tarkhan; the king of Tibet, \u1e24-h-w-r-n; the king of Sind, al-R\u0101y; the king of China, Baghb\u00fcr; the king of India and Atr\u0101\u1e25, Wah\u016bf\u016br; and the king of the Tughuz-ghuz, Kh\u0101q\u0101n.\nIn 769 CE, the Arabs were again able to obtain tribute from the Zunbils after nearly half a century, when Ma'n b. Za'ida al-Shaybanl defeated them near Ghazni.Arab destructions are documented around 795 CE, as the Muslim writer Kit\u0101b al-buld\u0101n records the destruction of a \u0160\u0101h Bah\u0101r (\u201cTemple of the King\u201d), though to be Tepe Sardar, at that time: he recounts that the Arabs attacked the \u0160\u0101h Bah\u0101r, \"in which were idols worshipped by the people. They destroyed and burnt them\".\n\n\nEnd of the Turk Shahis (822 CE)\nIn 815 CE, the Abbasids led by caliph Al-Ma'mun defeated the Kabul branch of the Turk Shahis in 815 CE, in what was essentially a political retribution: hoping to take advantage of the Great Abbasid Civil War (811-819 AD), the Turk Shahi ruler, named \"Pati Dumi\" in Arab sources, had invaded parts of Khorasan. The Turk Shahis not only had to convert to Islam but also had to cede key cities and regions. Another campaign against the Gandhara branch seem to have followed soon, with the Caliphate reaching Indus river, and imposing a critical defeat. A new dynasty, the Hindu Shahi dynasty, took over in Gandhara and Kabul in 822 CE. The Zunbils were unaffected by Al-Ma'mun's raids and continued to rule for about two more decades, before getting embroiled in the conflict to eventual extinction.\n\n\nSaffarids conquest (870 CE)\n\nThe Zunbils were finally defeated in 870 AD by the Muslim conqueror Yaqub bin Laith al-Saffar (r. 861\u2013879 AD, founder of the Saffarid dynasty), who conquered the entire Zunbil territory from his base in Sistan.Yaqub bin Laith al-Saffar started his eastern conquests in 870/871 CE, when he marched against the Kharijites of Herat, and defeated them. He then marched towards Karukh, and defeated another Khariji leader who was named Abd al-Rahman. His army would then march to Ghazna, conquering the Zunbils, and further to Bamyan and Kabul, pushing the Hindu Shahis to the East, conquering these territories in the name of Islam by appointing Muslim governors. From there they moved to north of the Hindu Kush and by 870 AD the whole of Khorasan was brought under Saffarid control. The Panjshir Valley was now under Ya'qub's control, which made him able to mint silver coins.According to C.E. Bosworth, the Saffarids achieved, for the first time, Muslim expansion in eastern Afghanistan, after more than two centuries of plundering raids by the Muslim governors of Sistan and fierce resistance from the rulers of the region.The Hindu Shahis, setting up defenses in Gandhara, continued the resistance to the eastern expansion of Islam until circa 1026 CE.\n\n\nReligion\nIn his travel diaries, the Chinese monk Xuanzang reported in the early 700s that there were numerous Buddhist stupas in the area of Zabul, which may been built by Ashoka in the 3rd century BC. He also reported hundreds of Buddhist monasteries, and dozens of Hindu temples. In addition the temple of the Hindu god Zun was in the region, drawing many pilgrims.\n\n\nBuddhism\n\nIn 726 CE, the Korean Buddhist monk Hyecho visited Zabulistan (\u8c22\u4afb\u56fd Xi\u0117y\u00f9gu\u00f3) and recorded that Kabul and Zabul were ruled by Turkic kings, who followed Buddhism. The last phase of the Tapa Sardar Buddhist monastery in Ghazni, dates to the time of the Zunbils.\n\n\nZhun or Hinduism\nThe Zunbils worshiped a deity called Zh\u016bn (or Z\u016bn), from whom they derived their name. He is represented with flames radiating from his head on coins. Statues were adorned with gold and used rubies for eyes. Huen Tsang calls him \"sunagir\".The origin and nature of Zhun is disputed. M. Shenkar in his study comes to the conclusion that Zhun was possibly connected to the deity of the river Oxus, the modern river Amudarya. Furthermore, he holds it most likely that Zhun was the greatest deity worshiped in Zabulistan. F. Grenet believes that Zhun might have been connected with the Iranian solar deity Mithra. Zhun has been linked with the Hindu god Aditya at Multan, pre-Buddhist religious and kingship practices of Tibet as well as Shaivism. Some scholars have considered the cult to be neither Buddhist nor Zoroastrian, but primarily Hindu. Scholars point out the connections between the Iranian god Zhun/Zun and the Hindu god Shiva, suggesting a syncretic mixture of the Iranian and Indian gods in the Indo-Iranian borderlands of ancient Bactria.His shrine lay on a sacred mountain in Zamindawar. Originally he appears to have been brought there by Hepthalites, displacing an earlier god on the same site. Parallels have been noted with the pre-Buddhist monarchy of Tibet, next to Zoroastrian influence on its ritual. Whatever his origins, he was certainly superimposed on a mountain and on a pre-existing mountain god while merging with Shaiva doctrines of worship.\n\n\nZurvan hypothesis\nOther scholars however have connected Zun with the Sassanid Zoroastrian deity Zurv\u0101n, the deity of time.\n\n\"Regarding origin of \u017duna, Xuanzang had only mentioned that it was initially brought to Kapisa, later Begram from \"far\" and later moved to Zabul. There is no consensus as to who brought it and when. By identifying \u017dun with Sassanian Zurv\u0101n, the cult of \u017dun or *Zruv\u0101n can be viewed in a much wider context of Iranian history and religious developments. \u017dun, Like Zurv\u0101n, most likely represented the \"god of time\", a heresy in Zoroastrianism, which originated in response to the religious reforms introduced during second half of Achaemenid Empire. The cosmopolitan nature of the god is consistent with the variety of religions practiced in the region prior to the Islamization of Afghanistan.\"\nAccording to Gulman S, its Afghan followers were, most probably, initially Zoroastrians. Mention of \u017dun and its devotees disappeared with the end of \u017dunbil dynasty of Zabulistan in 870. Its followers, according to Ibn Athir, accepted Islam.According to N. Sims-Williams:\n\"It is not unlikely that Zhun derives from the Iranian Zurwan.\"\nUlf J\u00e4ger states: We should interpret \"Zhun\" as the name of the ancient Iranian deity of time, \"Zurwan\".\n\n\nSee also\nIslamic conquest of Afghanistan\nPre-Islamic period of Afghanistan\nReligion in Afghanistan\n\n\nReferences\n\n\nSources\n\n\nExternal links\nZunbil in Encyclop\u00e6dia Britannica\n\n\nNotes\n1.^ \"Xuanzang's story is simple , but suggests a historical background:there happened a conflict between the two religious groups, the Surya group and the Zhuna group\"."}}}}

He also has been writing and performing comedic raps as ZDoggMD, an internet celebrity known for his music videos, parodies, and comedy sketches about medical issues, as well as systemic issues with healthcare.Damania was a practicing hospitalist (physician specializing in acutely ill patients admitted to the hospital) at Stanford University School of Medicine for 10 years. He was then the founder of Turntable Health, a direct primary care clinic in Downtown Las Vegas that was funded by Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh.\n\n\nEarly life and education\nDamania was born in New Jersey, and grew up in Clovis, California, to which his family moved when he was eight years old, with his parents, both Indian Parsi doctors (his father was a private practice primary care doctor, his mother a psychiatrist) who had immigrated from Pune, Maharashtra, India, in 1970, and two younger siblings. He quipped: \"I am the oldest of three children in the family, but sometimes my parents consider me the only child because the other two are not doctors.\"He attended Clovis West High School, graduating in 1991. He then went on to receive an undergraduate degree at University of California, Berkeley, where he minored in music and majored in molecular biology and cell biology. While there he completed a research thesis in a genetics lab on integrin-mediated cell-cell adhesion pathways in the Drosophila melanogaster model with James Fristrom.Damania attended medical school at University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine (UCSF), and graduated in 1999. His time in school was marked by a series of pursuits that combined comedy and medicine: he streamed medical comedy routines for a startup called Medschool.com, and performed medical based standup routines for drug companies, hospitals, and other medical organizations. He also gave the commencement speech at UCSF at his graduation, which has had tens of thousands of views on YouTube and made NPR's list of top commencement speeches of all time.\n\n\nCareer\nHe completed his internal medicine residency at Stanford University School of Medicine, from 1999 to 2002. Damania then stayed on at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation for ten years as a hospitalist from 2003 to 2012, spending 70% of his time at Stanford University Hospital (where he was an Adjunct Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine) and 30% of his time at Washington Hospital in Fremont, California, and receiving the Russell Lee Award for Clinical Teaching. He simultaneously maintained a side hobby performing stand-up comedy for medical audiences worldwide.Disheartened by the traditional fee-for-service model on which the American medical system is based, Damania became increasingly frustrated with his work. With the encouragement of Tony Hsieh, the CEO of Zappos.com, Damania began writing, performing, and filming musical parodies about the frustrations of work as a doctor, posting them on YouTube to immediate success. He developed a persona called ZDoggMD, fashioned as a gangsta rapper who was upset about popular misconceptions of healthcare in the US.\nDamania gave a presentation called \"Are Zombie Doctors Taking Over America?\" at TEDMED 2013. In it he outlines the lingering problems of the US healthcare system, and how he has re-conceived it at Turntable Health into a patient-centered organization dedicated to preventative care. His speech was called one of the best of the conference. U.S. News & World Report called his critique of American healthcare \"scalpel-sharp\" and \"at once discomfiting and comic\".Since beginning work on the clinic, Damania has been named one of the \"top 14 people to watch in 2014\" by Las Vegas Weekly, and has been profiled in The Atlantic Monthly, Xconomy, Wired, Venture Beat, Gizmodo, MSNBC, and USA Today. Turntable Health was also named \"by far the most exciting healthcare startup\" and \"revolutionary\" by The Next Web.\n\n\nZDoggMD\nZDoggMD is an alias of Damania since 2011, and under the name he makes music videos, health-care theme parodies, and comedy sketches about contemporary medical issues and working in the medical field. When his first music video (Immunize, based on Billionaire by Travie McCoy and Bruno Mars) was viewed 200,000 times, it got Damania death threats from anti-vaccination activists, who also mounted an unsuccessful campaign to get him fired. Damania spent time reading anti-vaccination groups online and the few medical experts who were attempting to push against the tide of disinformation, such as David Gorski. He decided he could present information in a unique style, with emotion and energy.In 2020, he has produced hundreds of videos, for a total YouTube viewership with 481K subscribers, in addition to Facebook and Instagram. He still gets death threats.\n\n\nCurrent endeavors\nZdoggMD has been featured or interviewed in several medical-based, and other well-known publications, including The Atlantic Monthly, TechCrunch, Radio Rounds, The Guardian, Mental floss, ReachMD, ScienceBlogs, ACP Hospitalist, and Today's Hospitalist, among others.\nHis website won the 2010 Best New Medical Weblog at the 2010 Medical Weblog Awards sponsored by Epocrates and Lenovo. His videos feature a rotating cast of several characters, also practicing doctors, including, most often, Dr. Harry, a pediatrician, and Doc Quixote, Dr. Diego, and others. He often collaborates musically with Southern California DJ and producer samix, who produced the album Midriff Music by Josh Martinez which won the category \"Best Rap Recording\" award at the 2005 Western Canadian Music Awards. He is also currently collaborating with Devin Moore, a composer, bassist in the band \u201cRabbit!,\u201d and member of Downtown Project's music development team in Las Vegas.ZdoggMD's work has been called \"entertainment that might save your life\", he has been labeled \"the jolliest doctor on the West Coast\", and \"a genuine doctor who uses YouTube as a creativity outlet to teach people about things like safe sex, delivering bad news, stayin' healthy on vacation, and hemorrhoids.\" His videos cover topics such as ulcers, testicular exams, Caribbean medical schools, stool transplants, overworked doctors, the role of hospitalists in medicine versus other specialists, vaccine controversies, healthcare in the US, CPR, television doctors, and being on call during the holidays.\n\n\nTurntable Health\nIn 2012, Tony Hsieh invited Damania to visit Las Vegas, where Hsieh was in the process of investing $350 million of his own money in a project he hoped would revitalize Downtown Las Vegas (The Downtown Project). He convinced Damania to quit his job as Physician at Stanford and moved his family to Nevada. Hsieh tasked Damania with \"fixing Healthcare in Vegas\". Once in Las Vegas, Damania continued to produce videos, both as ZDoggMD and himself, while working on opening Turntable Health.\nWhile conceiving of the idea for Turntable Health, Damania met Rushika Fernandopulle, co-founder and CEO of a Boston-based startup called Iora Health, who had become known for his vision of rebuilding healthcare by removing fee-for-service episodic payments from primary care, focusing on prevention, and using a membership model. The two forged a partnership.Turntable Health, a direct primary care clinic in Downtown Las Vegas, was the result of their collaboration. It was based on a patient-focused, preventative model that subscribers could either pay a monthly fee or pay out of pocket depending on individual coverage.

Its parent organisation, the Zomi Revolutionary Organisation, was founded in April 1993. Pu K Guite, a Zomi leader from Karbi Anglong (Mikir Hills of Assam), is the founder president of the organisation.It is one of the most powerful group operation in Manipur.\nThe ZRA's proclaimed objective is to \"protect the interests of the Zo ethnic groups\" and to \"unite the Zomi peoples under one state, Zogam\", which overlaps the official state boundaries of India (Manipur and Mizoram), Myanmar (Chin State) and Bangladesh (Chittagong Hill Tracts).\n\n\nLeadership\nThe ZRA has three main leadership positions, President, General Secretary, and Information and Publicity Secretary. Most of its leadership are from the Zomi community. Its current leaders are:\n\nThanglianpau Guite, President of the Zomi Revolutionary Army\nD. Kamsuanthang, General Secretary\nJimmy Suanpu, Information and Publicity Secretary\n\n\nAreas of operation\nThe ZRA mainly conducts operations in the Paite, Simte, Vaiphei, Zou, Mizo, Chin, Gangte, Thadou and other tribes under Zo umbrella majority areas of the Churachandpur district in Manipur and other districts in Manipur, particularly the Singngat subdivision near Myanmar (Burma). Their main operation areas includes bordering regions of Manipur and Mizoram, and also in Chin State, Myanmar (Burma).\n\n\nFunding\nThe ZRA allegedly funds itself through the collection of \"protection fees\" from locals who live in their areas of operations. In exchange for this fee, the ZRA claims they protect locals from being shot, kidnapped, or robbed by rival groups. In June 2004, according to local media reports, the ZRA accused the Mizo National Front (MNF) administration in Mizoram of only partially paying ZRA cadres for campaigning on behalf of MNF candidates in Champhai. A prominent opposition leader in Mizoram, Lal Thanhawla, claimed that on 12 June 2004, the MNF owed the ZRA payment for \"services rendered\", and that, because the MNF had failed to pay, the ZRA had begun collecting fees from residents of Mizoram.\n\n\nAlliances with other groups\nThe ZRA's maintains close alliances with the Kanglei Yawol Kanna Lup (KYKL) and the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak Muivah (NSCN-IM). The group also has a memorandum of understanding with the Kuki Liberation Organization (KLO) that promises \"full cooperation in all spheres, with the objective of strengthening the blood ties among the Kuki-Chin-Mizo/Zomi peoples\". The ZRA was once in conflict with the Hmar People's Convention-Democracy (HPC-D), but the two groups reached an agreement to \"work closely in the spirit of mutual understanding and cooperation for the welfare of the people and for achieving their shared objectives\".\n\n\nPeace negotiations\nOn 9 August 2005, the ZRA released a statement, saying that they had reached a ceasefire agreement with the Indian government, which was to last for six months starting from 1 August. The ZRA also said that they had \"viewed the steps taken by the Indian government in this regard as a positive approach towards the better understanding of our unique history, and the realisation of the need for a permanent solution to the long standing aspirations of the Zomi people\". In spite of this agreement, the Indian security forces allegedly conducted operations against ZRA during the ceasefire.\n\n\nNotable incidents\nOn 9 June 2005, ZRA insurgents ambushed a truck in Churachandpur district carrying Zomi Revolutionary Front (ZRF) insurgents, killing three ZRF members and one civilian. This attack was in retaliation for the ZRF's defection from the ZRA.\nOn 20 September 2005, ZRA insurgents clashed with other insurgents belonging to the Zomi Revolutionary Front, resulting in six deaths; one ZRA activist was also injured.\nOn 20 August 2006, two civilians were killed and four others were injured after Indian security forces opened fire on a group of churchgoers in the Vengnuam subdivision of Churachandpur, the ZRA's stronghold, believing incorrectly that ZRA members were present.\nOn 10 January 2010, three ZRA insurgents were killed in a clash with insurgents belonging to the People's Liberation Army of Manipur, in Tonzang Township, Chin State. Large numbers of PLA was also eliminated.\nOn 15 January 2010, two ZRA insurgents were killed in a clash with insurgents belonging the Revolutionary People's Front, the armed faction of the People's Liberation Army of Manipur operating in interior Manipur.\n\n\nReferences\n\n\nExternal links\nNational Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism\nSouth Asia Terrorism Portal\nZomi Re-Unification Organization"}}}}

{"batchcomplete":"","query":{"pages":{"40334603":{"pageid":40334603,"ns":0,"title":"Z\u00fcrich","extract":"Z\u00fcrich is the largest city in Switzerland and the capital of the canton of Z\u00fcrich. It is located in north-central Switzerland, at the northwestern tip of Lake Z\u00fcrich. As of January 2020, the municipality has 434,335 inhabitants, the urban area 1.315 million (2009), and the Z\u00fcrich metropolitan area 1.83 million (2011). Z\u00fcrich is a hub for railways, roads, and air traffic. Both Zurich Airport and Z\u00fcrich's main railway station are the largest and busiest in the country.\nPermanently settled for over 2,000 years, Z\u00fcrich was founded by the Romans, who called it Turicum. However, early settlements have been found dating back more than 6,400 years (although this only indicates human presence in the area and not the presence of a town that early). During the Middle Ages, Z\u00fcrich gained the independent and privileged status of imperial immediacy and, in 1519, became a primary centre of the Protestant Reformation in Europe under the leadership of Huldrych Zwingli.The official language of Z\u00fcrich is German, but the main spoken language is Z\u00fcrich German, the local variant of the Alemannic Swiss German dialect.\nMany museums and art galleries can be found in the city, including the Swiss National Museum and Kunsthaus. Schauspielhaus Z\u00fcrich is considered to be one of the most important theatres in the German-speaking world.Z\u00fcrich is home to many financial institutions and banking companies.\n\n\nName\nIn German, the city name is written Z\u00fcrich, and pronounced [\u02c8tsy\u02d0r\u026a\u00e7] in Swiss Standard German or [\u02c8tsy\u02d0\u0281\u026a\u00e7] (listen) in German Standard German. In the local dialect, the name is pronounced without the final consonant, as Z\u00fcri [\u02c8tsyri], although the adjective remains Z\u00fcrcher(in). The city is called Zurich [zy\u0281ik] in French, Zurigo [dzu\u02c8ri\u02d0\u0261o] in Italian, and Turitg [tu\u02c8rit\u0255] (listen) in Romansh.\nThe name is traditionally written in English as Zurich, without the umlaut. It is pronounced ZURE-ik or ZOOR-ik.The earliest known form of the city's name is Turicum, attested on a tombstone of the late 2nd century AD in the form STA(tio) TURICEN(sis) (\"Turicum tax post\").The name is interpreted as a derivation from a given name, possibly the Gaulish personal name T\u016bros, for a reconstructed native form of the toponym of *Tur\u012bcon. The Latin stress on the long vowel of the Gaulish name, [t\u028a\u02c8ri\u02d0k\u00f5\u02d0], was lost in German [\u02c8tsy\u02d0r\u026a\u00e7] but is preserved in Italian [dzu\u02c8ri\u02d0\u0261o] and in Romansh [tu\u02c8rit\u0255]. The first development towards its later Germanic form is attested as early as the 6th century with the form Ziurichi. From the 9th century onward, the name is established in an Old High German form Zuri(c)h (857 in villa Zurih, 924 in Zurich curtem, 1416 Z\u00fcrich Stadt). In the early modern period, the name became associated with the name of the Tigurini, and the name Tigurum rather than the historical Turicum is sometimes encountered in Modern Latin contexts.\n\n\nHistory\n\n\nEarly history\n\nSettlements of the Neolithic and Bronze Age were found around Lake Z\u00fcrich. Traces of pre-Roman Celtic, La T\u00e8ne settlements were discovered near the Lindenhof, a morainic hill dominating the SE - NW waterway constituted by Lake Zurich and the river Limmat. In Roman times, during the conquest of the alpine region in 15 BC, the Romans built a castellum on the Lindenhof. Later here was erected Turicum (a toponym of clear Celtic origin), a tax-collecting point for goods trafficked on the Limmat, which constituted part of the border between Gallia Belgica (from AD 90 Germania Superior) and Raetia: this customs point developed later into a vicus. After Emperor Constantine's reforms in AD 318, the border between Gaul and Italy (two of the four praetorian prefectures of the Roman Empire) was located east of Turicum, crossing the river Linth between Lake Walen and Lake Z\u00fcrich, where a castle and garrison looked over Turicum's safety. The earliest written record of the town dates from the 2nd century, with a tombstone referring to it as to the Statio Turicensis Quadragesima Galliarum (\"Z\u00fcrich post for collecting the 2.5% value tax of the Galliae\"), discovered at the Lindenhof.In the 5th century, the Germanic Alemanni tribe settled in the Swiss Plateau. The Roman castle remained standing until the 7th century. A Carolingian castle, built on the site of the Roman castle by the grandson of Charlemagne, Louis the German, is mentioned in 835 (in castro Turicino iuxta fluvium Lindemaci). Louis also founded the Fraum\u00fcnster abbey in 853 for his daughter Hildegard. He endowed the Benedictine convent with the lands of Z\u00fcrich, Uri, and the Albis forest, and granted the convent immunity, placing it under his direct authority. In 1045, King Henry III granted the convent the right to hold markets, collect tolls, and mint coins, and thus effectively made the abbess the ruler of the city.Z\u00fcrich gained Imperial immediacy (Reichsunmittelbar, becoming an Imperial free city) in 1218 with the extinction of the main line of the Z\u00e4hringer family and attained a status comparable to statehood. During the 1230s, a city wall was built, enclosing 38 hectares, when the earliest stone houses on the Rennweg were built as well. The Carolingian castle was used as a quarry, as it had started to fall into ruin.Emperor Frederick II promoted the abbess of the Fraum\u00fcnster to the rank of a duchess in 1234. The abbess nominated the mayor, and she frequently delegated the minting of coins to citizens of the city. The political power of the convent slowly waned in the 14th century, beginning with the establishment of the Zunftordnung (guild laws) in 1336 by Rudolf Brun, who also became the first independent mayor, i.e. not nominated by the abbess.\nAn important event in the early 14th century was the completion of the Manesse Codex, a key source of medieval German poetry. The famous illuminated manuscript \u2013 described as \"the most beautifully illumined German manuscript in centuries;\" \u2013 was commissioned by the Manesse family of Z\u00fcrich, copied and illustrated in the city at some time between 1304 and 1340. Producing such a work was a highly expensive prestige project, requiring several years work by highly skilled scribes and miniature painters, and it clearly testifies to the increasing wealth and pride of Z\u00fcrich citizens in this period. The work contains 6 songs by S\u00fcsskind von Trimberg, who may have been a Jew, since the work itself contains reflections on medieval Jewish life, though little is known about him.The first mention of Jews in Z\u00fcrich was in 1273. Sources show that there was a synagogue in Z\u00fcrich in the 13th century, implying the existence of a Jewish community. With the rise of the Black Death in 1349, Z\u00fcrich, like most other Swiss cities, responded by persecuting and burning the local Jews, marking the end of the first Jewish community there. The second Jewish community of Z\u00fcrich, formed towards the end of the 14th century, was short-lived, and Jews were expulsed and banned from the city from 1423 until the 19th century.\n\n\nArchaeological findings\nA woman who died in about 200 BC was found buried in a carved tree trunk during a construction project at the Kern school complex in March 2017 in Aussersihl. Archaeologists revealed that she was approximately 40 years old when she died and likely carried out little physical labor when she was alive. A sheepskin coat, a belt chain, a fancy wool dress, a scarf and a pendant made of glass and amber beads were also discovered with the woman.\n\n\nOld Swiss Confederacy\n\nOn 1 May 1351, the citizens of Z\u00fcrich had to swear allegiance before representatives of the cantons of Lucerne, Schwyz, Uri and Unterwalden, the other members of the Swiss Confederacy. Thus, Z\u00fcrich became the fifth member of the Confederacy, which was at that time a loose confederation of de facto independent states. Z\u00fcrich was the presiding canton of the Diet from 1468 to 1519. This authority was the executive council and lawmaking body of the confederacy, from the Middle Ages until the establishment of the Swiss federal state in 1848. Z\u00fcrich was temporarily expelled from the confederacy in 1440 due to a war with the other member states over the territory of Toggenburg (the Old Z\u00fcrich War). Neither side had attained significant victory when peace was agreed upon in 1446, and Z\u00fcrich was readmitted to the confederation in 1450.\n\nZwingli started the Swiss Reformation at the time when he was the main preacher in the 1520s, at the Grossm\u00fcnster. He lived there from 1484 until his death in 1531. The Z\u00fcrich Bible, based on that of Zwingli, was issued in 1531. The Reformation resulted in major changes in state matters and civil life in Z\u00fcrich, spreading also to a number of other cantons. Several cantons remained Catholic and became the basis of serious conflicts that eventually led to the outbreak of the Wars of Kappel.\nDuring the 16th and 17th centuries, the Council of Z\u00fcrich adopted an isolationist attitude, resulting in a second ring of imposing fortifications built in 1624. The Thirty Years' War which raged across Europe motivated the city to build these walls. The fortifications required a lot of resources, which were taken from subject territories without reaching any agreement. The following revolts were crushed brutally. In 1648, Z\u00fcrich proclaimed itself a republic, shedding its former status of a free imperial city. In this time the political system of Z\u00fcrich was an oligarchy (Patriziat): the dominant families of the city were the following ones: Bonstetten, Brun, B\u00fcrkli, Escher vom Glas, Escher vom Luchs, Hirzel, Jori (or von Jori), Kilchsperger, Landenberg, Manesse, Meiss, Meyer von Knonau, M\u00fclner, von Orelli.\n\nThe Helvetic Revolution of 1798 saw the fall of the Ancien R\u00e9gime. Z\u00fcrich lost control of the land and its economic privileges, and the city and the canton separated their possessions between 1803 and 1805. In 1839, the city had to yield to the demands of its urban subjects, following the Z\u00fcriputsch of 6 September. Most of the ramparts built in the 17th century were torn down, without ever having been besieged, to allay rural concerns over the city's hegemony. The Treaty of Z\u00fcrich between Austria, France, and Sardinia was signed in 1859.\n\n\nModern history\n\nZ\u00fcrich was the Federal capital for 1839\u201340, and consequently, the victory of the Conservative party there in 1839 caused a great stir throughout Switzerland. But when in 1845 the Radicals regained power at Z\u00fcrich, which was again the Federal capital for 1845\u201346, Z\u00fcrich took the lead in opposing the Sonderbund cantons. Following the Sonderbund war and the formation of the Swiss Federal State, Z\u00fcrich voted in favour of the Federal constitutions of 1848 and of 1874. The enormous immigration from the country districts into the town from the 1830s onwards created an industrial class which, though \"settled\" in the town, did not possess the privileges of burghership, and consequently had no share in the municipal government. First of all in 1860 the town schools, hitherto open to \"settlers\" only on paying high fees, were made accessible to all, next in 1875 ten years' residence ipso facto conferred the right of burghership, and in 1893 the eleven outlying districts were incorporated within the town proper.\nWhen Jews also began to settle in Z\u00fcrich following their equality in 1862, the Israelitische Cultusgemeinde Z\u00fcrich was founded.\n\nExtensive developments took place during the 19th century. From 1847, the Spanisch-Br\u00f6tli-Bahn, the first railway on Swiss territory, connected Z\u00fcrich with Baden, putting the Z\u00fcrich Hauptbahnhof at the origin of the Swiss rail network. The present building of the Hauptbahnhof (the main railway station) dates to 1871. Z\u00fcrich's Bahnhofstrasse (Station Street) was laid out in 1867, and the Z\u00fcrich Stock Exchange was founded in 1877. Industrialisation led to migration into the cities and to rapid population growth, particularly in the suburbs of Z\u00fcrich.\nThe Quaianlagen are an important milestone in the development of the modern city of Z\u00fcrich, as the construction of the new lake front transformed Z\u00fcrich from a small medieval town on the rivers Limmat and Sihl to an attractive modern city on the Z\u00fcrichsee shore, under the guidance of the city engineer Arnold B\u00fcrkli.In 1893, the twelve outlying districts were incorporated into Z\u00fcrich, including Aussersihl, the workman's quarter on the left bank of the Sihl, and additional land was reclaimed from Lake Z\u00fcrich.In 1934, eight additional districts in the north and west of Z\u00fcrich were incorporated.\nZ\u00fcrich was accidentally bombed during World War II. As persecuted Jews sought refuge in Switzerland, the SIG (Israelite Community of Switzerland) raised financial resources. The central committee for refugee aid, created in 1933, was located in Z\u00fcrich.\nThe canton of Z\u00fcrich did not recognise the Jewish religious communities as legal entities (and therefore as equal to national churches) until 2005.\n\n\nCoat of arms\n\nThe blue and white coat of arms of Z\u00fcrich is attested from 1389 and was derived from banners with blue and white stripes in use since 1315. The first certain testimony of banners with the same design is from 1434. The coat of arms is flanked by two lions. The red Schwenkel on top of the banner had varying interpretations: For the people of Z\u00fcrich, it was a mark of honour, granted by Rudolph I. Z\u00fcrich's neighbours mocked it as a sign of shame, commemorating the loss of the banner at Winterthur in 1292. Today, the Canton of Z\u00fcrich uses the same coat of arms as the city.\n\n\nPolitics\n\n\nCity districts\n\nThe previous boundaries of the city of Z\u00fcrich (before 1893) were more or less synonymous with the location of the old town. Two large expansions of the city limits occurred in 1893 and in 1934 when the city of Z\u00fcrich merged with many surrounding municipalities, that had been growing increasingly together since the 19th century. Today, the city is divided into twelve districts (known as Kreis in German), numbered 1 to 12, each one of which contains between one and four neighborhoods:\n\nKreis 1, known as Altstadt, contains the old town, both to the east and west of the start of the Limmat. District 1 contains the neighbourhoods of Hochschulen, Rathaus, Lindenhof, and City.\nKreis 2 lies along the west side of Lake Z\u00fcrich, and contains the neighbourhoods of Enge, Wollishofen and Leimbach.\nKreis 3, known as Wiedikon is between the Sihl and the Uetliberg, and contains the neighbourhoods of Alt-Wiedikon, Sihlfeld and Friesenberg.\nKreis 4, known as Aussersihl lies between the Sihl and the train tracks leaving Z\u00fcrich Hauptbahnhof, and contains the neighbourhoods of Werd, Langstrasse, and Hard.\nKreis 5, known as Industriequartier, is between the Limmat and the train tracks leaving Z\u00fcrich Hauptbahnhof, it contains the former industrial area of Z\u00fcrich which has undergone large-scale rezoning to create upscale modern housing, retail, and commercial real estate. It contains the neighborhoods of Gewerbeschule and Escher-Wyss.\nKreis 6 is on the edge of the Z\u00fcrichberg, a hill overlooking the eastern part of the city. District 6 contains the neighbourhoods of Oberstrass and Unterstrass.\nKreis 7 is on the edge of the Adlisberg hill as well as the Z\u00fcrichberg, on the eastern side of the city. District 7 contains the neighbourhoods of Fluntern, Hottingen, and Hirslanden. These neighbourhoods are home to Z\u00fcrich's wealthiest and more prominent residents. The neighbourhood Witikon also belongs to district 7.\nKreis 8, officially called Riesbach, but colloquially known as Seefeld, lies on the eastern side of Lake Z\u00fcrich. District 8 consists of the neighbourhoods of Seefeld, M\u00fchlebach, and Weinegg.\nKreis 9 is between the Limmat to the north and the Uetliberg to the south. It contains the neighbourhoods Altstetten and Albisrieden.\nKreis 10 is to the east of the Limmat and to the south of the H\u00f6nggerberg and K\u00e4ferberg hills. District 10 contains the neighbourhoods of H\u00f6ngg and Wipkingen.\nKreis 11 is in the area north of the H\u00f6nggerberg and K\u00e4ferberg and between the Glatt Valley and the Katzensee (Cats Lake). It contains the neighbourhoods of Affoltern, Oerlikon and Seebach.\nKreis 12, known as Schwamendingen, is located in the Glattal (Glatt valley) on the northern side of the Z\u00fcrichberg. District 12 contains the neighbourhoods of Saatlen, Schwamendigen Mitte, and Hirzenbach.Most of the district boundaries are fairly similar to the original boundaries of the previously existing municipalities before they were incorporated into the city of Z\u00fcrich.\n\n\nGovernment\n\nThe City Council (Stadtrat) constitutes the executive government of the City of Z\u00fcrich and operates as a collegiate authority. It is composed of nine councilors, each presiding over a department. Departmental tasks, coordination measures and implementation of laws decreed by the Municipal Council are carried out by the City Council. The regular election of the City Council by any inhabitant valid to vote is held every four years. The mayor (German: Stadtpr\u00e4sident(in)) is elected as such by a public election by a system of Majorz while the heads of the other departments are assigned by the collegiate. Any resident of Zurich allowed to vote can be elected as a member of the City Council. In the mandate period 2018\u20132022 (Legislatur) the City Council is presided by mayor Corine Mauch. The executive body holds its meetings in the City Hall (German: Stadthaus), on the left bank of the Limmat. The building was built in 1883 in Renaissance style.\nAs of May 2018, the Z\u00fcrich City Council was made up of three representatives of the SP (Social Democratic Party, one of whom is the mayor), two members each of the Green Party and the FDP (Free Democratic Party), and one member each of GLP (Green Liberal Party) and AL (Alternative Left Party), giving the left parties a combined six out of nine seats. The last regular election was held on 4 March 2018.\n\nClaudia Cuche-Curti is Town Chronicler (Stadtschreiberin) since 2012, and Peter Saile is Legal Counsel (Rechtskonsulent) since 2000 for the City Council.\n\n\nParliament\n\nThe Municipal Council (Gemeinderat) holds the legislative power. It is made up of 125 members (Gemeindrat / Gemeinder\u00e4tin), with elections held every four years. The Municipal Council decrees regulations and by-laws that are executed by the City Council and the administration. The sessions of the Municipal Council are held in public. Unlike those of the City Council, the members of the Municipal Council are not politicians by profession but are paid a fee based on their attendance. Any resident of Z\u00fcrich allowed to vote can be elected as a member of the Municipal Council. The legislative body holds its meetings in the town hall (Rathaus), on the right bank of the Limmat opposite to the City Hall (Stadthaus).The last election of the Municipal Council was held on 4 March 2018 for the mandate period of 2018\u20132022. As of May 2018, the Municipal Council consist of 43 members of the Social Democratic Party (SP), 21 The Liberals (FDP), 17 members of the Swiss People's Party (SVP), 16 Green Party (GPS), 14 Green Liberal Party (GLP), 10 Alternative List (AL), and four members of the Evangelical People's Party (EVP), giving the left parties an absolute majority of 69.\n\n\nElections\n\n\nNational Council\nIn the 2019 federal election for the Swiss National Council the most popular party was the SPS which received 25.6% (-6) of the vote. The next four most popular parties were the GPS (20.9%, +9.7), GLP (15.7%, +6.4), SVP (13.7%, -4.3), the FDP (11.8%, -2.2), the AL (4%, new), and the CVP (3.5%, -0.2). In the federal election, a total of 110,760 voters were cast, and the voter turnout was 47.7%.In the 2015 federal election for the Swiss National Council the most popular party was the SPS which received 31.6% of the vote. The next four most popular parties were the SVP (18%), the FDP (14%), the GPS (10.7%), the GLP (9.2%). In the federal election, a total of 114,377 voters were cast, and the voter turnout was 46.2%.\n\n\nInternational relations\n\n\nTwin towns and sister cities\nZ\u00fcrich is partnered with two sister cities: Kunming and San Francisco.\n\n\nGeography\n\nZ\u00fcrich is situated at 408 m (1,339 ft) above sea level on the lower (northern) end of Lake Z\u00fcrich (Z\u00fcrichsee) about 30 km (19 mi) north of the Alps, nestling between the wooded hills on the west and east side. The Old Town stretches on both sides of the Limmat, which flows from the lake, running northwards at first and then gradually turning into a curve to the west. The geographic (and historic) centre of the city is the Lindenhof, a small natural hill on the west bank of the Limmat, about 700 m (2,300 ft) north of where the river issues from Lake Z\u00fcrich. Today the incorporated city stretches somewhat beyond the natural confines of the hills and includes some districts to the northeast in the Glatt Valley (Glattal) and to the north in the Limmat Valley (Limmattal). The boundaries of the older city are easy to recognize by the Schanzengraben canal. This artificial watercourse has been used for the construction of the third fortress in the 17th and 18th centuries.\n\n\nTopography\nThe municipality of Z\u00fcrich has an area of 91.88 km2 (35.48 sq mi), of which 4.1 km2 (1.6 sq mi) is made up of Lake Z\u00fcrich. The area includes a section of the northern Swiss Plateau. The banks of the Limmat constitute the densest part of the city. The river is oriented in the southeast\u2013northwest direction, with the flat valley floor having a width of two to three km (1.2 to 1.9 mi). The partially channeled and straightened Limmat does not flow in the central part of the valley, but always along its right (northeastern) side. The Sihl meets with the Limmat at the end of Platzspitz, which borders the Swiss National Museum. The Limmat reaches the lowest point of the municipality in Oberengstringen at 392 m (1,286 ft) above sea level.\n\nOn its west side, the Limmat valley is flanked by the wooded heights of the Albis chain, which runs along the western border. The Uetliberg is, with 869 m (2,851 ft) above sea level, the highest elevation of the surrounding area. Its summit can be reached easily by the Uetlibergbahn. From the platform of the observation tower on the summit, an impressive panorama of the city, the lake, and the Alps can be seen.The northeast side of the Limmat valley includes a range of hills, which marks the watershed between the Limmat and the Glatt. From the northwest to the southeast, the height of the mostly wooded knolls generally increases: the Gubrist (615 m or 2,018 ft), the H\u00f6nggerberg (541 m or 1,775 ft), the K\u00e4ferberg (571 m or 1,873 ft), the Z\u00fcrichberg (676 m or 2,218 ft), the Adlisberg (701 m or 2,300 ft) and the \u00d6schbrig (696 m or 2,283 ft). Between the K\u00e4ferberg and the Z\u00fcrichberg is located the saddle of the Milchbuck (about 470 m or 1,540 ft), an important passage from the Limmat valley to the Glatt valley.The northernmost part of the municipality extends to the plain of the Glatt valley and to the saddle which makes the connection between the Glattal and Furttal. Also, a part of the Katzensee (nature reserve) and the B\u00fcsisee, both of which are drained by the Katzenbach to Glatt, belong to the city.\n\n\nClimate\nZ\u00fcrich has an oceanic climate (K\u00f6ppen: Cfb), with warm summers and four distinct seasons. Decisive for the climate of Z\u00fcrich are both the winds from westerly directions, which often result in precipitation and, on the other hand, the Bise (east or north-east wind), which is usually associated with high-pressure situations, but cooler weather phases with temperatures lower than the average. The Foehn wind, which plays an important role in the northern alpine valleys also has some impact on Z\u00fcrich.The annual mean temperature at the measuring station of the Federal Office of Meteorology and Climatology in Z\u00fcrich-Fluntern (556 m[1,824 ft] above sea level on the slope of the Z\u00fcrichberg, 150 m[490 ft] above the level of the city centre) is 9.3 \u00b0C (48.7 \u00b0F). The lowest monthly mean of daily minimum temperature are measured in January with \u22122.0 \u00b0C (28.4 \u00b0F) and the highest monthly mean of daily maximum temperature are measured in July with 24.0 \u00b0C (75.2 \u00b0F). On average there are 74.9 days in which the minimum temperature is below 0 \u00b0C (32 \u00b0F) (so-called frost days), and 23.7 days in which the maximum temperature is below 0 \u00b0C (32 \u00b0F) (so-called ice days). There are on average 30 so-called summer days (maximum temperature equal to or above 25 \u00b0C [77 \u00b0F]) throughout the year, while so-called heat days (with maximum temperature equal to or above 30 \u00b0C [86 \u00b0F]) are 5.8 days.The average high temperature in July is 24.0 \u00b0C (75.2 \u00b0F) and average low temperature is 14 \u00b0C (57.2 \u00b0F). The highest recorded temperature in Z\u00fcrich was 37.7 \u00b0C (100 \u00b0F), recorded in July 1947, and typically the warmest day reaches an average of 32.2 \u00b0C (90.0 \u00b0F).Spring and autumn are generally cool to mild, but sometimes with large differences between warm and cold days even during the same year. The highest temperature of the month March in 2014 was on the 20th at 20.6 \u00b0C (69.1 \u00b0F) during a sunny afternoon and the lowest temperature was on the 25th at \u22120.4 \u00b0C (31.3 \u00b0F) during the night/early morning. Record low of average daily temperatures in March since 1864 is \u221212 \u00b0C (10 \u00b0F) and record high of average daily temperatures in March is 16 \u00b0C (61 \u00b0F). Record low of average daily temperatures in October is \u221216 \u00b0C (3 \u00b0F) and record high of average daily temperatures in October is 20 \u00b0C (68 \u00b0F).Z\u00fcrich has an average of 1,544 hours of sunshine per year and shines on 38% of its potential time throughout the year. During the months April until September the sun shines between 150 and 215 hours per month. The 1,134 mm (44.6 in) rainfall spread on 133.9 days with precipitation throughout the year. Roughly about every third day you will encounter at least some precipitation, which is very much a Swiss average. During the warmer half of the year and especially during the three summer months, the strength of rainfall is higher than those measured in winter, but the days with precipitation stays about the same throughout the year (in average 9.9\u201312.7 days per month). October has the lowest number (9.9) of days with some precipitation. There is an average of 59.5 so-called bright days (number of days with sunshine duration greater than 80%) through the year, the most in July and August (7.4, 7.7 days), and the least in January and December (2.7, 1.8 days). The average number of days with sunshine duration less than 20%, so-called cloudy days, is 158.4 days, while the most cloudy days are in November (17.8 days), December (21.7 days), and January with 19 days.\n\n\nClimate protection\nIn November 2008 the people of Z\u00fcrich voted in a public referendum to write into law the quantifiable and fixed deadline of one tonne of CO2 per person per annum by 2050. This forces any decision of the executive to support this goal, even if the costs are higher in all dimensions. Some examples are the new disinfection section of the public city hospital in Triemli (Minergie-P quality \u2013 passive house), the continued optimisation and creation of public transportation, enlargement of the bicycle-only network, research and projects for renewable energy and enclosure of speed-ways.\n\n\nUrban area\nThe areas surrounding the Limmat are almost completely developed with residential, industrial, and commercial zones. The sunny and desirable residential areas in the hills overlooking Z\u00fcrich, Waidberg and Z\u00fcrichberg, and the bottom part of the slope on the western side of the valley on the Uetliberg, are also densely built.\nThe \"green lungs\" of the city include the vast forest areas of Adlisberg, Z\u00fcrichberg, K\u00e4ferberg, H\u00f6nggerberg and Uetliberg. Major parks are also located along the lakeshore (Z\u00fcrichhorn and Enge), while smaller parks dot the city. Larger contiguous agricultural lands are located near Affoltern and Seebach. Of the total area of the municipality of Z\u00fcrich (in 1996, without the lake), 45.4% is residential, industrial and commercial, 15.5% is transportation infrastructure, 26.5% is forest, 11%: is agriculture and 1.2% is water.\n\n\nTransport\n\n\nPublic transport\n\nPublic transport is extremely popular in Z\u00fcrich, and its inhabitants use public transport in large numbers. About 70% of the visitors to the city use the tram or bus, and about half of the journeys within the municipality take place on public transport. The ZVV network of public transport contains at least four means of mass-transit: any train that stops within the network's borders, in particular the S-Bahn (local trains), Z\u00fcrich trams, and buses (both diesel and electric, also called trolley buses) and boats on the lake and river. In addition, the public transport network includes funicular railways and even the Luftseilbahn Adliswil-Felsenegg (LAF), a cable car between Adliswil and Felsenegg. Tickets purchased for a trip are valid on all means of public transportation (train, tram, bus, boat). The Z\u00fcrichsee-Schifffahrtsgesellschaft (commonly abbreviated to ZSG) operates passenger vessels on the Limmat and the Lake Z\u00fcrich, connecting surrounding towns between Z\u00fcrich and Rapperswil.\n\nZ\u00fcrich is a mixed hub for railways, roads, and air traffic. Z\u00fcrich Hauptbahnhof (Z\u00fcrich HB) is the largest and busiest station in Switzerland and is an important railway hub in Europe. As of early 2020, Z\u00fcrich HB served around 470,000 passengers and nearly 3,000 trains every day. Among the 16 railway stations (and 10 additional train stops) within Z\u00fcrich's city borders, there are five other major passenger railway stations. Three of them belong to the ten most frequented railway stations in Switzerland: Stadelhofen, Oerlikon, Altstetten, Hardbr\u00fccke, and Enge. The railway network is mainly operated by the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB CFF FFS), but Z\u00fcrich is also served by major EuroCity trains from the neighbouring countries and is a destination for both French/Swiss (TGV Lyria) and German (ICE) high-speed trains, as well as by Austrian RailJet.\n\n\nZurich Airport\nZurich Airport is located less than 10 km (6.2 mi) northeast of the city in Kloten. Zurich Airport has its own railway station, which is located underground. It is directly connected to Z\u00fcrich and most of the major Swiss cities. Zurich Airport is served by more than 60 passenger airlines from around the world. It is also served by one cargo airline and is a hub for Swiss International Air Lines. There is also an airfield in D\u00fcbendorf.\n\n\nRoad traffic\nThe A1, A3 and A4 motorways pass close to Z\u00fcrich. The A1 heads west towards Bern and Geneva and eastwards towards St. Gallen; the A4 leads northwards to Schaffhausen and southwards to Altdorf connecting with the A2 towards Chiasso; and the A3 heads northwest towards Basel and southeast along Lake Z\u00fcrich and Lake Walen towards Sargans.\n\n\nBicycle transport\nIn 2012, the city council launched a program to improve the city's attractiveness for bicycle traffic. The so-called \"Masterplan Velo\" is part of the superordinate framework Stadtverkehr 2025 which shapes the future of the different means of transport. Research revealed that infrastructure and the social environment are essential factors in improving a city's appeal to bicycle traffic. Three main goals are specified: First, the modal share of bicycle traffic should be enhanced to twice the value of 2011 by 2015. Second, cyclists' safety should be improved to lower the overall accident risk. Third, cycling should be established as an everyday means of transport with a special focus on children and young people.\nIn terms of infrastructure, the city aims to build up a network of distinctive bicycle routes in order to achieve these objectives. At a final stage, the network will consist of main routes (Hauptrouten) for everyday use and comfort routes (Komfortrouten), with the latter focusing on leisure cycling. Additional measures such as special Velostationen providing bike-related services are expected to help to further improve the quality. One of the key projects of the system is a tunnel beneath the tracks of the main railway station planned to combine a main connection with staffed possibilities where commuters can leave their bikes throughout the day. Apart from infrastructural measures, further approaches are planned in the fields of communication, education and administration.\nHowever, these efforts cause critique, mainly due to postponing. The institution of the bike tunnel at the main railway station, originally planned for 2016, is currently (2016) delayed to at least 2019. Pro Velo, a nationwide interest group, has publicly questioned whether the masterplan already failed. The critique aims at badly governed traffic management at construction sites, missing possibilities to park bikes in the city as well as rather diffident ambitions. In response, the responsible city department points to the big investments made every year and mentions ongoing discussions that would finally lead to even better results.\n\n\nDemographics\n\n\nPopulation\n\nThere are 421,878 people living in Z\u00fcrich (as of 31 December 2020), making it Switzerland's largest city. Of registered inhabitants (in 2016), 32% (133,473) do not hold Swiss citizenship. Of these, German citizens make up the largest group with 8% (33,548), followed by Italians 3.5% (14,543). As of 2011, the population of the city, including suburbs, totaled 1.17 million people. The entire metropolitan area (including the cities of Winterthur, Baden, Brugg, Schaffhausen, Frauenfeld, Uster / Wetzikon, Rapperswil-Jona, and Zug) had a population of around 1.82 million people.\n\n\nLanguages\nThe official formal language used by governmental institutions, print, news, schools and universities, courts, theatres and in any kind of written form is the Swiss variety of Standard German, while the spoken language is Z\u00fcrich German (Z\u00fcrit\u00fc\u00fctsch), one of the several more or less distinguishable, but mutually intelligible Swiss German dialects of Switzerland with roots in the medieval Alemannic German dialect groups. However, because of Z\u00fcrich's national importance, and therefore its existing high fluctuation, its inhabitants and commuters speak all kinds of Swiss German dialects. As of the December 2010 census, 69.3% of the population speaks diglossic Swiss German/Swiss Standard German as their mother-tongue at home. Some 22.7% of inhabitants speak Standard German in their family environment (\"at home\"). Dramatically increasing, according to the last census in 2000, 8.8% now speak English. Italian follows behind at 7.1% of the population, then French at 4.5%. Other languages spoken here include: Bosnian (4.1%), Spanish (3.9%), Portuguese (3.1%), and Albanian (2.3%). (Multiple choices were possible.) Thus, 20% of the population speak two or more languages at home.\n\n\nReligion\n\nBefore the Protestant Reformation reached Z\u00fcrich, it was de jure and de facto Roman Catholic.\nThe Protestant Reformation, led by Huldrych Zwingli, made Z\u00fcrich both a theological centre and a stronghold of Protestantism in Switzerland. Another Swiss city with a comparable status was Geneva, the so-called Protestant Rome, where John Calvin and his Protestant Reformers operated, as well as Basel. Z\u00fcrich attracted other influential Protestant Reformers like Heinrich Bullinger. Zwingli translated the Bible (Z\u00fcrich Bible) into the local variety of German, and introduced the Reformation by winning support of the magistrates, the princess abbess Katharina von Zimmern, and the largely peasant population of the Canton of Z\u00fcrich. The canton unanimously adopted the Reformed tradition, as represented by Zwingli. Religious wars between Catholics and Protestants tormented the Swiss Confederacy. Zwingli died for political and religious reasons by defending the Canton of Z\u00fcrich in the Battle of Kappel. Bullinger took over his role as the city's spiritual leader.\nIn 1970, about 53% of the population were Swiss Reformed, while almost 40% were Roman Catholic. Since then, both large Swiss churches, the Roman Catholic Church and Swiss Reformed Church, have been constantly losing members, though for the Catholic Church, the decrease started 20 years later, in around 1990. Nevertheless, for the last twenty years, both confessions have been reduced by 10%, to the current figures (census 2010): 30% Roman Catholic, and 26% Swiss Reformed (organized in Evangelical Reformed Church of the Canton of Z\u00fcrich). In 1970, only 2% of Z\u00fcrich's inhabitants claimed to be not affiliated with any religious confession. In accordance with the loss by the large Swiss churches, the number of people declaring themselves as non-affiliated rose to 17% in the year 2000. In the last ten years, this figure rose to more than 25%. For the group of people, being between 24 and 44 years old, this is as high as one in every third person.5% of Z\u00fcrich's inhabitants are Muslims, a slight decrease of 1%, compared to the year 2000. The Mahmood Mosque Z\u00fcrich, situated in Forchstrasse, is the first mosque built in Switzerland.The population of Jewish ethnicity and religion has been more or less constant since 1970, at about 1%. The Synagoge Z\u00fcrich L\u00f6wenstrasse is the oldest and largest synagogue of Z\u00fcrich.\n\n\nSocial\nThe level of unemployment in Z\u00fcrich was 3.2% in July 2012. In 2008, the average monthly income was about CHF 7000 before any deductions for social insurances and taxes. In 2010, there were 12,994 cases (on average per month) of direct or indirect welfare payments from the state.\n\n\nQuality of living\nZ\u00fcrich often performs very well in international rankings, some of which are mentioned below:\n\nMonocle's 2012 \"Quality of Life Survey\" ranked Z\u00fcrich first on a list of the top 25 cities in the world \"to make a base within\". In 2019 Z\u00fcrich was ranked among the ten most liveable cities in the world by Mercer together with Geneva and Basel.\nIn fDi Magazine's \"Global Cities of the Future 2021/22\" report, Z\u00fcrich placed 16th in the overall rankings (all categories). In the category \"Mid-sized and small cities\", Z\u00fcrich was 2nd overall, behind Wroclaw, having also placed 2nd in the subcategory \"Human capital and lifestyle\" and 3rd under \"Business friendliness\".

It was destroyed in 1937-38 by order of Lavrentiy Beria along with 10 other churches in Tbilisi.\n\n\nHistory\nZrkinyants Saint Gevork Church was located in Griboedov street near Academy of Arts of Georgia. The construction note was placed on the southern portico. A scientist-traveler rewrote the date - 1713, what meets the date mentions in the registry of the Armenian churches of Tbilisi. The text is the following: \"I, sun of Zurab makhtesi Petros and my brothers - Hovsep, Sahak and David, built this new crypt - church of Saint Gevork in our memory and memory of our parents. During reign of Vakhtang. In summer of 1162 (=1713)\".\nIn 1713 Vakhtang VI was in Iran and the higher Georgian authorities through the Embassy of S.S. Orbeliani tried to return him to motherland. Armenians as well tried to support those efforts, and the letter of Elia Karnetsi dated March 13 1715 proves it. In the letter Vakhtang was called a king, although actually he wasn't. The problem of future ruler was actively discussed in the society, and that note shows Armenian position in the issue.\nThis note shows that the date is incorrect, moreover the constructor of the church belonged not the family of Kamazovs (who were mentioned during renovation of Tbilisi cathedral church), but Zrkinovs.\n\n\nDestruction\nIn 1937-38 Zrkinyants Saint Gevork Church was destroyed along with 10 other Armenian churches of Tbilisi by Lavrentiy Beria order.\n\n\nReferences\n(in Russian) \u0410\u0440\u043c\u044f\u043d\u0441\u043a\u0438\u0435 \u0446\u0435\u0440\u043a\u0432\u0438 \u0422\u0431\u0438\u043b\u0438\u0441\u0438 - \u0417\u0420\u041a\u0418\u041d\u042f\u041d\u0426 \u0421\u0423\u0420\u0411 \u0413\u0415\u0412\u041e\u0420\u0413\n\n\nSee also\nArmenians in Tbilisi\nList of Armenian churches in Georgia"}}}}

The Szkopiak family, which included his parents and siblings, was deported to Austria where they spent the war toiling as agricultural slave laborers. Liberated by the British Eighth Army, he and his family received refugee status and were sent to England where he entered the Polish College of the University of London at Battersea, received a doctorate in the physics of metallurgy and joined the staff of Battersea College of Advanced Technology which, in 1968, became the University of Surrey. He authored numerous scientific papers in his research specialties which centered upon stress relaxation and internal friction, and served as editor of a Polish scientific journal and a visiting professor abroad. He also met and married Lucia, like himself, a Polish refugee, whose father was one of the victims of the Katyn Massacre and who reached England via Belarus, the Middle East and South Africa.\nSzkopiak was a member of the co-ordinating committee of the European Freedom Campaign group, which was established in London at an Inaugural Rally at Westminster Central Hall on 10 December 1988 and consisted almost exclusively of representatives from countries behind the Iron Curtain. On 17 August 1989, The Daily Telegraph published a letter, which he signed as Minister of Foreign Affairs, explaining that \"for the past 44 years we have continued as the legitimate government\" and setting forth \"the terms under which the Polish Government-in-Exile would cease to function\".

The bridge has latticed wooden-trusses and is structured to look like a barn; it is 116-feet long, and has a 15-feet wide roadway. The covered portion of the bridge was added in 1871.

Member of Parliament between 1994 and 1998 and from 2002. Since 2003, he has been the chairman of the Christian Democratic People's Party. Minister without portfolio and Deputy Prime Minister in the second, third, fourth and fifth cabinet of Prime Minister Viktor Orb\u00e1n. Semj\u00e9n has been the leader of the Christian Democratic People's Party (KDNP) since 2003, which formed a coalition and alliance with Fidesz.\n\n\nStudies\nAfter high school Semj\u00e9n worked in the first half of the 1980s in industrial companies. He educated in theology at the P\u00e1zm\u00e1ny P\u00e9ter Catholic University. In 1992 he graduated from sociology at the University. After that he attended E\u00f6tv\u00f6s Lor\u00e1nd University in Budapest professionally bound with Budapest universities. In the second half of the 90s, he had his theology laureatus degree converted to a doctorate in religious studies, and was given an honorary assistant professorship at the university. In 2014, he obtained an MA degree in wildlife management from the Faculty of Forestry Engineering of the University of West Hungary.\n\n\nAcademic misconduct controversy\nAccording to an article on 18 November 2012 by Heti Vil\u00e1ggazdas\u00e1g, Semj\u00e9n committed acts of academic misconduct, as he allegedly plagiarised around 40% of his 1991 theological doctoral thesis, parts of which he also resubmitted as his sociology diploma dissertation in 1992.E\u00f6tv\u00f6s Lor\u00e1nd University, which awarded Semj\u00e9n his degree in sociology, confirmed that there is a significant overlap between the works of Semj\u00e9n and Moln\u00e1r but that retroactive overriding of the awarding process is unlawful and so will maintain his degree. P\u00e1zm\u00e1ny P\u00e9ter Catholic University did not conduct an investigation in the case, and announced that they consider the question closed, thus Semj\u00e9n still has his PhD degree from that institution.\n\n\nPolitical career\n\nIn 1989, during the political transition, he was among the founders of the Christian Democratic People's Party. He was a member of the executive committee and employee of the National Assembly. From 1990 to 1994 he served as district councilor. In 1994 he obtained a parliamentary seat in 1997, he was the deputy leader of KDNP. After the dissolution of the parliamentary faction of the KDNP, he joined the faction of the Hungarian Democratic Forum. In 1998, Viktor Orb\u00e1n gave him the position of secretary of state for the church. During this period, an international church summit was organized in Hungary, the disputes with the Apostolic Holy See were settled, state funding of religious education was restored, an agreement was made with the historical churches, and the funding of church institutions performing public tasks was arranged equal to that of the state. In 2002 Zsolt Semj\u00e9n returned to parliament from a list of Fidesz and the Democrats.\nSoon, he rejoined the extra-parliamentary KDNP then, and in 2003 became chairman of this party. According to his program, the KDNP will remain an independent party in the Fidesz-led alliance that fully accepts the social doctrines of the Christian churches. Under his leadership, the KDNP formed a cooperation agreement with Fidesz in 2005. In 2006 he was re-elected to another parliamentary term and was later re-elected in 2010. In the second government of Viktor Orb\u00e1n he became minister without portfolio and Deputy Prime Minister.\nHe and his wife represented the Hungarian government at the interment of the heart of former Hungarian Crown Prince Otto in Pannonhalma Archabbey, as the only persons present who were not Habsburg family members or clerics.From May 29, 2010, he is the deputy prime minister of the second Orb\u00e1n government, the first and general deputy of the prime minister, and the member of the cabinet responsible for national policy. On April 6, 2014, he received another mandate from second place in the joint national list of the governing parties. When the government was formed in June, he retained both of his posts - general deputy prime minister and minister without portfolio responsible for national policy. On April 8, 2018, the Fidesz-Christian Democratic People's Party - for the third time - won the parliamentary elections with a two-thirds majority, gaining another mandate from second place on the national list. In Viktor Orb\u00e1n's fourth government, he is once again general deputy prime minister, minister of national politics, nationality policy, church politics, and church diplomacy.During his government activities, he was one of the initiators of declaring Good Friday a public holiday. Zsolt Semj\u00e9n was the submitter of the 1993 LV on Hungarian citizenship. amendment of the law. On November 10, 2017, he announced at the Hungarian Permanent Conference that the one millionth new Hungarian citizen had taken the oath. As a result of the preferential naturalization law, 940,000 people in the Carpathian Basin took the citizenship oath, while 160,000 people in the diaspora received Hungarian citizenship, i.e. 1.1 million became Hungarian citizens in ten years.\n\n\nEucharistic congress\nThe International Eucharistic Congress opened in 2021 with the participation of J\u00e1nos \u00c1der and Zsolt Semj\u00e9n. The Deputy Prime Minister also met Pope Francis, who visited Hungary for the event. Deputy Prime Minister Zsolt Semj\u00e9n, Cardinal P\u00e9ter Erd\u0151, together with the Archbishop of Esztergom-Budapest, honored Archbishop Gallagher and Cardinal Parolin at the Hungarian Academy in Rome for their work for the Eucharistic Congress.\n\n\nWorld Hunting Exhibition\nZsolt Semj\u00e9n gave the opening speech at the 2021 \"ONE WITH NATURE\" - World Hunting Exhibition, which was organized in honor of the 50th anniversary of the 1971 World Hunting Exhibition.

A Zoid is essentially a large mechanical animal, with designs being based on animals; including dinosaurs, insects, arachnids and mythological creatures.\nThe franchise started with a model-kit-based toy line and includes five main anime TV series (Chaotic Century, New Century, Fuzors, Genesis and Wild) as well as several video games and manga products.\n\n\nModel kit lines\nThere have been a number of different Zoids model lines over the years, both in Japan and other countries. Between these lines, over 200 different designs have been released, some several times over. Several companies outside of Takara-Tomy have produced Zoids kits. This has led to Zoids being made as die-cast figures, highly detailed posing kits, smaller action figures and even PVC figurines.\n\n\nMechabonica\nThe predecessors to Zoids. Released in 1982, Mechabonica was technically not a Zoids line, but is counted as such by collectors as it consisted of three models that would later be re-released as the first three Zoids (Garius, Elephantus, and Glidoler). The line was not very successful and was quickly dropped by Tomy.\n\n\nStarzeta\nStarzeta was the Spanish version of the Mechabonica line. Since Tomy had no direct marketing power in Spain during the 80s the models were released under licence by a smaller company (Feber) but unfortunately the line performed even worse than its Japanese counterpart. The same 3 models were released but bizarrely they were given new color schemes; grey parts became silver and the dark blue caps became bright blue. The models were not given names but are listed as Starzeta I, II and III.\nSZ IV (Garantula), SZ V (Aquadon) and SZ VI (Gorgodos) were supposedly planned as a continuation of the series but their release status is currently unknown.\nThe models are incredibly rare (even more so than the Japanese Mechabonica) and demand is boosted even further by their unique color schemes.\n\n\nOriginal American release\nTOMY sold the Mechabonica line in the United States and Europe in late 1982, under the name Zoids. The line was far more successful than Mechabonica, which led TOMY to reintroduce the line in Japan under the new name.\nLater, a pair of original Zoids, the Power Zoids Tank and Serpent, were created exclusively for the European and North American markets and were never released in Japan. Other Zoids like the Bigasaur (renamed to Giant ZRK) were also released. Radio Shack released the Mammoth Zoid in the US at the same time. While not a part of the release, it is generally counted with them.\nThe Original American Release is commonly abbreviated as OAR by fans and collectors.\n\n\nOriginal Japanese Release\nIn 1983, following the success of the OAR, TOMY reintroduced the Zoids line in Japan. The relaunched Japanese line, now entitled Zoids, was a success, running from 1983 until 1990. The Zoids line had its own \"Battle Story\" that was told serially on the backs of the model boxes and in catalogues.\nInitially, the Zoids were divided into two distinct factions, the Helic Republic and the Zenebas Empire. In 1989, the Zenebas Empire was replaced with the Guylos Empire.\nThe Original Japanese Release is commonly abbreviated as OJR.\n\n\nOriginal European Release\nZoids were also released in Europe, (and to a limited extent in Australia, South Africa and South-East Asia), from 1984 to 1987 by TOMY. The models in this release were a mixture of ones directly ported over from the OJR, as well as recolored Zoids, including the rare Ghost Zoids line. Additionally, the Tank and Serpent Power Zoids from the OAR were released. Most of the Zoids in the line were renamed.\nThe Zoids in the release were divided into two distinct factions, which are the Blue Guardians and the Red Mutants. The line had its own story told in the UK Zoids comic.\nThe Original European Release is commonly abbreviated as OER.\n\n\nRobo Strux\nRobo Strux were released in the US and Canada by TOMY, in 1985\u201386. All the Zoids in the line were OJR Zoids, however, some versions of the same model retained their original (OJR) color scheme, whereas other versions of the same model received a distinctive Robo Strux color scheme. Thus, the Robo Strux line had two differently colored releases of several models. Based on their color schemes, the Zoids were divided into two factions, the heroic Blue Guardians and the evil Red Mutants. However, there was no accompanying story or media.\nDue to the lack of marketing and the relatively high prices of the models, Robostrux was rather short-lived.\nRobostrux is commonly abbreviated as RS.\n\n\n1:24 Scale Zoids\nIn 1988, TOMY launched a sub-line of the OJR, featuring larger-scale Zoids. The 1:24 line featured Zoids of similar size to existing ones, but scaled for larger pilots. Each kit came with a 3 inch tall action figure of the pilot. Like the regular Zoids line, the Zoids were divided into Helic and Zenebas factions.\nThe 1:24 Zoids were not a success, and were discontinued after a year.\n\n\nZevle\nIn 1990, TOMY re-released several of the 1:24 scale Zoids in a new line called Zevle. The Zoids were recolored from the OJR versions, and came with detailed, 3 inch tall action figures of the pilot and crew. The pilot figures were unpainted and on sprues, much like a model kit, and had to be assembled. The crew figures also came with accessories of guns and beam sabers. Zevle featured its own \"Battle Story\" on the boxes, but while it was similar to the Zoids Battle Story, it was unrelated to it.\nLike the 1/24th Zoids, Zevle was a commercial failure and was discontinued.\n\n\nTechnozoids\nKenner acquired the rights to release Zoids in North America, releasing the Technozoids line in 1995\u20131996. The Zoids in the line were all recolors of earlier Zoids released in the OJR, although some were directly imported from the Zoids2 line. There were no distinct factions for the Zoids, and no backstory was given.\nThe Technozoids line was a failure and was discontinued after one year. A number of Zoids were left unreleased at the end of the line.\nTechnozoids is commonly abbreviated as TZ.\n\n\nZoids 2\nTOMY released another line of Zoids in the UK and Europe (with a re-release in Australia and South-East Asia) in 1994. The Zoids 2 line featured very bright color schemes, with all the Zoids having at least some chromed parts. The Zoids also had unique stickers with odd swirling designs. The Zoids 2 line did not feature distinctive factions for the Zoids, but did have a backstory loosely based on (but not a continuation of) the UK Zoid comic, with the Zoids invading Earth and humanity's last hope being to turn the Zoids against each other.\nLike Technozoids, Zoids 2 was eventually discontinued.\nZoids 2 is commonly abbreviated as Z2.\n\n\nNew Japanese Release\nIn 1999, TOMY relaunched the Zoids line in Japan, with subsequent releases elsewhere in Asia. Initially, the line consisted of recolored re-releases of older Zoids, but TOMY quickly began producing new Zoids designs. The Zoids were divided into Helic and Guylos factions, with the Zenebas Empire returning later. The OJR battle story was continued on the NJR boxes, with the Zoids Anime and Manga drawing on alternate versions of the New Battle Story's events.\nThe line was abruptly discontinued in August 2004. By the end of the line, there were still thirty-three Zoids from the OJR line that had yet to be re-released.\nThe New Japanese Release is unofficially abbreviated as NJR.\n\n\nCustomise Parts\nAlong with the re-launch of the Zoids line, TOMY also launched a line known as Customise Parts or simply CP. The line consisted of additional weapons and equipment that could be added onto Zoids models. The line was a mixture of new parts and re-issues of parts originally included in various OJR models (as well as the Empire and Republic Customization Kits).\nThe Customise Parts line was discontinued in 2002.\n\n\nBlox\nIn 2002, TOMY introduced a new line of non-motorised Zoids called Blox, which featured flexible construction. Blox Zoids can be easily disassembled and combined with each other, as well as with regular Zoids.\n\n\nToys Dream Project\nIn 2002, Toys Dream Project began a line of limited Zoids releases. The line consisted of a mixture of new recolors of existing Zoids and re-releases of older versions of some Zoids in their OJR colors, as well as kits paired with uniquely colored customize parts.\n\n\nZoids: Build Customize Mobilize\nFollowing the launch of the NJR, Hasbro licensed Zoids for release in North America and South-East Asia in 2001. Like the NJR, the line was divided into Republic and Empire factions, with the Anime providing the backstory. Initially, the Hasbro line consisted of just re-releases of Zoids from the NJR. However, they later began developing their own Zoid designs, as well as co-developing others with TOMY. Additionally, Hasbro had planned to re-release several OJR Zoids that had not been released in the NJR.\nAlthough it was initially successful, Hasbro suspended the line in 2004, due to poor sales. The cancellation of the line left a number of new Zoids unreleased, including most of those not yet re-released by TOMY. Much of the leftover stock was later released by Hasbro in Australia and the UK.\nIn Australia and South-East Asia, these Zoids were released by TOMY. These countries were identical to Hasbro's Zoids, but featured TOMY branding on the box. In the UK the Zoids boxes featured slightly different logos to both Australia and the US. The UK release featured several Zoids designs and color schemes that were not available in the US.\n\n\nZ-Builders\nAny Blox Zoids that were released by Hasbro were sold as part of the line known as Z-Builders. Most of the Z-Builders were re-releases of the NJR Blox line, but the line included several Hasbro-designed Zoids, as well as individual releases of Blox Zoids that did not occur in Japan. The Z-Builders line was suspended alongside the motorized models. Z-Builders was released in Australia and the Pacific featuring TOMY branding instead of Hasbro branding.\n\n\nFuzors\nIn late 2004, TOMY launched a new Zoids line to tie into the Zoids: Fuzors anime that was then showing on Japanese TV. The line was composed entirely of recolors of older Blox and Zoids. Some models were altered slightly, or packaged with additional parts, mainly to allow different Zoids to connect (or \"fuse\"). The line also featured a number of Zoids that were previously only released in North America.\nThe line was abruptly halted in early 2005, with several items unreleased.\nFuzors is commonly abbreviated as FZ.\n\n\nGenesis\nIn early 2005, another new Zoid line was launched, to tie into the Zoids: Genesis anime. The line consists of a mixture of old designs, new designs and older designs with new parts. The line is most notable for the much-anticipated reissues of Houndsoldier and Gilvader.\nReactions to the line were mixed; the re-releases of older designs (which included several OJR Zoids not previously re-released) were well received. The new designs, namely the Bio-Zoids which had rubber armor, did not do so well, having been plagued by quality control issues and production errors.\nGenesis is commonly abbreviated as GZ. An alternate abbreviation, GB, is used for the Bio-Zoids released as part of this line.\n\n\nNeo-Blox\nReleased in May 2006, the Neo-Blox are an improvement on the previous Blox line, primarily due to the greater range of poseability the 'Blox and peg' connection system has.\nTwo sublines have also been released. The first is the Legends Series, which features Zoids from previous releases, but redesigned to be the same size as the Neo-Blox Zoids, and modified to use the same connector system. The second are the Custom Blox; subline appeared to be on hold, with Tomy instead focusing on the Legend Blox sub-line. With the cancellation of all unreleased Neo-Blox in early 2007, the line was effectively dead.\nThe Neo-Blox is abbreviated as either NBZ or NB. Alternate abbreviations are used for the Legends Series (LB) and the Custom Blox (CBZ).\n\n\nAcademy Zoids\nAcademy, a company from Korea better known for model airplanes and ships, re-released many of the NJR Zoid models, as well as some Zoids from the Customize Parts, Fuzors and Genesis series. In most cases, these Academy Zoids have nearly identical packaging to their Japanese predecessors save for the Korean language and a sticker bearing the Academy logo. Though the quality of the Academy Zoids were on par with their Japanese counterparts in the early 2000s, the age and repeated use of some molds, such as Command Wolf and Liger Zero, has caused degradation in the line. The line continues to sell Zoids exclusively in Korean markets.\n\n\nHigh-end Master Model\nStarting in late 2006, the High-end Master Model line, commonly abbreviated HMM, is a joint effort between Tomy and Kotobukiya. The line advertises high-quality, highly detailed, pose-able model kits based on designs of existing Zoids.\n\n\nEvo Drive Zoids\nMiniature Zoids\nStarting in late 2006, the High-end Master Model line, commonly abbreviated HMM, is a joint effort between Tomy and Kotobukiya. The line advertises high-quality, highly detailed, pose-able model kits based on designs of existing Zoids.\n\n\nZoids Graphics\nReleased in Summer 2007 onward, the Graphics line are reissues of the OJR model kits released in the 1980s. They feature the model kit in special windowed packaging along with bonus parts or miniature figures and a booklet with early battle story information.\n\n\nZoids 25th: Rebirth Century\nStarting in 2008 as part of the line's 25th anniversary, this new Zoids line contains both re-releases of 80s Zoids and entirely new designs. The backstory is set between the end of the original line and the start of the new Japanese release, covering the Zoidians' efforts to rebuild after the meteor disaster and the conflicts that come with it.\n\n\nZoids Anime 10th Anniversary\nStarting in 2009, as a tribute to both the NJR Zoids Release and the Chaotic Century Anime series, the Anime 10th Anniversary is a limited line of correctly colored model kits based on those piloted by characters in the Anime series. The line abruptly stopped after just two of the kits were released. Zoids: Chaotic Century is what this 10th anniversary is based upon. It was only ended in 1999.\n\n\nRevoltech Zoids\nA company called Kaiyodo released four Zoids as Revoltech figures under the Yamaguchi line. Two Zoid types, the Blade Liger and the Geno Breaker, were produced with the Liger coming in three different colors. These Zoids were made to be highly pose-able, having more joints than any Revoltech before. These Zoids are smaller than the motorized Zoid models but larger than the Hasbro action figures.\n\n\nYamato Zoids\nYamato released two Shield Ligers and a set of Beam-Cannons for the Zoids between 2010 and 2012. These Zoids had die-cast metal parts as well as fine details and many points of articulation for movable parts. The action models dwarfed their predecessors in size and weight. The first Shield Liger was colored like the hero Zoid of the Chaotic Century series and included three small character figures. The second was painted black and silver and included the Beam Cannon like the limited NJR model, the Shield Liger DCS-J, it was based on. The Yamato Shield Liger was released in the United States and is the only line to be sold in the U.S. since Z-Builders.\n\n\nModeler's Spirit Series\nFor the 30th anniversary of Tomy's main Zoids line, the franchise was treated to a new line of Zoids kits. Abbreviated MSS, the Modeler's Spirit Series were produced by TOMYTEC at a 1:144 scale, much smaller than previous lines. These Zoids are not motorized but do feature posing gimmicks similar to Mobile Suit models, which have used the word 'gimmick' for movable parts longer. Zoids in the MSS line also include a display base. The first MSS Zoids, released in January 2013, were a Shield Liger and Hammer Rock.\n\n\nZoids Original\nAnother event for the 30th anniversary was announced on Takara-Tomy's main Zoids web page. Titled Zoids Original, the line features redesigned motorized kits. As with other core Zoids lines, the new series includes a tie-in Battle Story. A model called the Mirage Fox was the first kit to be released in the new line.\n\n\nBattle story\n \"Battle story\" is a fictitious timeline of events that features on the boxes, manuals and cataloges of some Zoid model kits. Battle Story allows collectors to piece together information about the Zoids universe from the perspective of certain Zoids, and their roles in the various timelines. None of the English-language model kits feature this story.\n\n\nOriginal battle story\nBeginning fairly early after the start of the original Japanese Zoid releases, the battle story first introduced the conflict between two rival nations: the Helic Republic and Zenebas Empire. Their main weapons were Zoids, living war machines built from metal-based lifeforms native to planet Zi. The Zenebas Zoids were mostly red and silver and more armored, the Helic more skeletal and favoring blue and grey.The line expanded and drew in fans, and was thus given a proper ongoing story, with the creators wanting to appeal to fans of science fiction and animation. The two nations' conflict turned into an ongoing series of stories included on the boxes and published in various magazines and books. History of Zoids, published in 1985, covered Zi's history as a planet wrecked by natural disasters and conflict, King Helic's uniting the original tribes and formation of the Republic, the Empire's bitter splitting off after his son Helic II took over and the younger Zenebas was betrayed by the era's politicians, and much of the earlier battles in the resulting war over territory on the Central Continent.As more advanced model kits were added to the line, a human element was added to the story: mainly, a ship from Earth (the Globally 3) crashlanding on Zi. Earth technology made its way to both sides, accelerating the arms race and making for many stronger Zoids.\nIn 1986, the Ultrasaurus was released, and billed in-story as the machine that would defeat the Empire. It nearly succeeded, but Zenebas and his forces fled to the Dark Continent Nyx, soon returning with new-model Zoids like the Death Saurer. The Republic was driven back and forced to hold the Empire off with guerrilla warfare in the mountains, paving the way for the brief 1/24 scale line (notable for featuring the Battle Rover as the winner of a fan design contest). The Republic's counterattack came in the form of the Mad Thunder, and as Zenebas again turned to the Dark Continent for help, he was betrayed by Guylos, whose new \"Dark Army\" Zoids attacked and absorbed the Empire Army.\n1989 thus marked a drastic change in the line's focus, the first catalogue even calling it \"Zoids New Century\" (a title unrelated to the anime series Zoids New Century /Zero). The more ambiguous conflict became more \"good versus evil\", with Guylos described as having a \"merciless, cruel fighting style [...] beyond imagination\" in Tomy's material, and Shogakukan's version of the battle story abandoning telling things from both sides to give only the viewpoint of a Republic soldier portrayed as a hero. There were no windup kits released after the Cannonfort in April 1989, the toys instead focusing on \"Gradeups\", curvy techno-organic designs with vacuum metalized parts, build-it-yourself motor boxes, and interchangeable custom parts.The line ended in the late months of 1990, King Gojulas and Descat marking the final designs. Battle story Zi came down to a final showdown between the nigh-unstoppable King Gojulas and various Dark Army Zoids (including Gilvader), only to have the conflict cut short as a comet struck Zi's third moon, raining down meteor destruction and leaving the entire planet in disarray.\n\n\nNew battle story\nThe Zoids revival in 1999 included both an anime and a new battle story. After decades of peace, the current Emperor died, leaving only the young Rudolph as his heir. His regent, Prozen, took the opportunity to resume the conflict between the Guylos Empire and the Republic. Early on, both sides used their past Zoids, the model line focusing entirely on reissues of popular past kits.As technology advanced, entirely new designs were produced, the first being the Rev Raptor and Geno Saurer. Many of them were also tie ins to the Chaotic Century anime, including special pilot figures of characters who used them while the Zoids did different things in the battle story. The accelerating arms race came to a head with the Death Stinger, which proved an uncontrollable berserker and only served to further the Guylos Empire's gradual loss.\nTheir retreat to the Dark Continent was not as it seemed, and in 2004 (four years after the first anime series finished its run), Prozen was revealed to be Zenebas' son...and the current ruler of the Republic his daughter under the alias Louise Elena Camford. The entire war until now had been a ruse to weaken both nations, and in a bitter coup ending with his own death Prozen engineered the rise of Neo Zenebas. His son took over the reins, driving the Republic forces back to the Eastern Continent.\nThe toyline shifted to match, introducing the new posable \"Blox\" kits (first sold in 2002) as the creation of humans who had fled there to remain neutral in the original conflict. They sold their work to both sides during the Republic's bid to regain their homeland. The ensuing battles\u2014and the battle story portion of the toyline\u2014ended with the Republic reclaiming their capital, forcing the Zenebas Empire back to the western half of the Central Continent.\n\n\nThree Tigers\nProviding a glimpse into Zi's future and released in 2004, the Three Tigers line consisted of all of six kits: three legendary Tiger-type Zoids (one formed via a combination of two separate kits) and the Dekalt Dragon (also a combination). It was very closely followed by the Fuzors line and its direct anime tie-in (also in 2004), and featured a similar setting: Zoids are owned mainly by private citizens, with fightworthy ones restricted to peacekeeping forces and licensed sports battlers.Two large Zoid manufacturing corporations, ZOITEC and Zi-Arms, became considerable powers on Zi. Discovering the cores of ancient tiger Zoids, they set out to create their own versions. Part of Zi-Arms proved to have an ulterior motive: seizing power and reviving the glory days of the Empire with the Dekalt Dragon, Brastle Tiger, and a Mega Death Saurer. The two ZOITEC Tigers (Whitz and Rayse) team up with a rebelling Brastle to stop the Saurer, however ... and then vanish, the story booklet included with the Brastle Tiger kit describing them as \"disappearing back into legend\".\n\n\nRebirth Century\nWhile the old battle story and the 1999 revival left nearly thirty years post meteor disaster undetailed, Tomy's Rebirth Century revival (2008\u20132010) picks up where the old story left off. After retelling the final battle with King Gojulas, it moves on to a Zi torn by magnetic storms and faction tensions, using it as a reason to rerelease both old kits (Gilvader and King Gojulas included) and new designs.\n\n\nOnslaught\nFor the 30th anniversary of the OJR line, Takara-Tomy revived the Battle Story on the main Zoids website. Prior to the anniversary, this story was released as a book series titled Zoids Concept Art in 2010. Though the overall plot is the same, some differences between the OJR and the Onslaught version occur. Also, the new version of the Battle Story is digitally illustrated with highly stylized Zoids instead of featuring pictures of the actual Zoids models like the older lines did. Episodes of this story can be viewed on the Tomy's main Zoids web page.\n\n\nAnime\nThe six anime series pertaining to Zoids are: Zoids: Chaotic Century and its sequel series Zoids: Guardian Force, Zoids: New Century Zero, Zoids: Fuzors, Zoids: Genesis, and Zoids Wild. The first four series take place on the fictitious planet Zi. Zoids Wild is set on a post-apocalyptic version of Earth. Chaotic Century and Guardian Force aired as one series in the US, but they are considered two separate series by Takara Tomy.\n\n\nChaotic Century (1999)\n\nZoids: Chaotic Century is the first two Zoids anime series and consists of Chaotic Century and Guardian Force. Its setting is loosely based on that of Battle Story, and follows Van Flyheight as he meets an amnesiac girl called Fiona and an organoid called Zeke. As the series progresses, Van meets various opponents, such as Raven, and friends, like Moonbay and Irvine, and eventually ends up helping Fiona in her quest to regain her memory and to find a mysterious entity called the \"Zoid Eve\". Their quest takes them into the thick of an ongoing war between the two factions of the Helic Republic and the Guylos Empire.\nIn the US the story of Chaotic Century is split into two seasons, with a time skip in the middle. In Japan Guardian Force is considered the second series. Three to four years after the initial arc (\"Chaotic Century\"), the second story (Guardian Force) begins. The two warring nations seen in the first arc have made peace, and to ensure it remains, they establish a joint military task force called the Guardian Force. Van becomes a part of this force, and after some time again goes searching for the elusive Zoid Eve. On the way, he meets up with both old and new friends and foes.\nDespite being the first series created in Japan, Chaotic Century was the second series to be broadcast in English, following New Century.\nAs well as the anime series, there was a Chaotic Century manga published in Japan. It was later reproduced in English in North America by Viz Communications, and in Singapore in English by Chuang Yi. There are significant differences between the anime and manga, becoming more striking in the later issues.\n\n\nNew Century (2001)\n\nZoids: New Century takes place some time after the events of Guardian Force, however, aside from a few cameo appearances, there is no direct relation to the past series. In New Century Zoid battles have become a tournament-based fighting competition. The main character is Bit Cloud, a junk dealer, who forms part of the Blitz Team. He becomes a pilot of their Zoid, the Liger Zero, a temperamental Zoid that previously had been unpilotable. Bit and Liger form a partnership and end up joining the Blitz Team in their various league matches. He is aided by his teammates, Leena Toros, Brad Hunter, Jamie Hemeros, as well as their leader, Dr. Steve Toros.\nAlong the way, Bit's unique Zoid gets the attention of the Backdraft Group, an organization who is trying to take over Zoid battles and make them more \"interesting\" by using illicit battles, often with no rules or regard to pilot safety. The Backdraft attempts to acquire the Liger Zero by any means possible.\nNew Century Zero has a number of animation cameos with Zoids from Chaotic Century and Guardian Force, which are the cause of much fan speculation but not explained. Moonbay's Gustav can be seen in the background in one of the later episodes, the Backdraft shoots judge satellites down with a Death Stinger tail, the Death Saurer appearing as a model and in a background TV show, the three Geno Saurers that attack Berserk Fury, and the Ultrasaurus wreck on which Bit Cloud claims victory carries the Gravity Cannon on its side.\nThis was the first Zoids series to appear on American television, airing in Cartoon Network's Toonami block.\n\n\nFuzors (2003)\n\nZoids: Fuzors follows the adventures of team Mach Storm and RD, a novice Liger Zero pilot. They live in the technologically advanced Blue City, competing in Zoid battles. When a top team is wiped out by a pair of Zoids able to combine, it leads to a series of discoveries relating to special \"Fuzor\" Zoids and combinations: RD's Liger Zero ends up partnered with the Fire Phoenix and later the Jet Falcon.\nThere's something more sinister lurking behind the sports battles and RD's rivalry with team Savage Hammer. As the series unfolds RD and his friends Helmut, Sigma, Hop, Sweet and Matt get caught up in a plot to take over the city. Eventually RD discovers the secret behind the mysterious \"Alpha Zoid\" and with the help of pilots from all over the city, defeats the Seismosaurus holding it under siege.\nAbout half-way through the series, the show was removed from America's Cartoon Network, ending on a cliffhanger. This was most likely a result of flagging ratings and toy sales, although its timeslot did not help matters. However, the full series aired in Australia and was later shown in Japan, getting full DVD releases in both countries.\n\n\nGenesis (2005)\n\nZoids: Genesis aired in 2005. At a certain point in time, there was a great quake on Planet Zi. An enormous crack ran through the planet, stretching as far as the seabeds to the high mountains. Volcanoes erupted with fire, and the sky was covered in darkness. Many cities were destroyed as they were swallowed in large areas, sinking underwater. This was known as \"God's Fury.\"\nBefore this large series of natural disasters, all civilizations were at their peak. All were destroyed by the disasters, and it was several thousand years before the inhabitants of Zi were able to re-establish themselves in any meaningful form. Survivors of the disasters gathered together and formed new civilizations; these groups searched for Zoids that are buried underground for human use.\nThe story begins in a village whose most precious item, a giant blade, is worshipped as a holy symbol. Ruuji, a teenage boy, discovers an ancient Liger-type Zoid, the Murasame Liger, while on a deep water salvage operation. His village is suddenly attacked by skeletal \"Bio-Zoids\" intent on securing the powerful Generator located in the village. During the attack, Ruuji awakens Murasame Liger and fends off the Bio-Zoids, however the Generator on which the village depends becomes damaged in subsequent attacks. Seeking to repair it, Ruuji sets off on a journey to find a mechanic capable of fixing a generator.\n\n\nWild (2018)\n\nZoids Wild is the newest Zoids anime series. It began airing on July 7, 2018 on Mainichi Broadcasting System and Tokyo Broadcasting System. It is notable that characters are depicted riding on top of Zoids rather than within an enclosed cockpit as in previous Zoids media.\n\n\nUK Zoids comics\n\nIn the 1980s, a Zoids tie-in strip was published in the Marvel UK title Secret Wars. On the back of this, it gained its own weekly title, Spider-Man and Zoids. This story has no continuity with any Japanese anime (which didn't exist at the time) and it was created to go along with the original UK (and subsequently Australian) release of model kits. The comic is notable for featuring early work by Grant Morrison, including the epic and apocalyptic Black Zoid storyline.\n\n\nReferences\n\n\nExternal links\nTakara-Tomy's official Zoids site (in Japanese)\nTOMYTEC's official Zoids site (in Japanese)\nSho-Pro's official Zoids anime site (in Japanese)\nZoidstar UK Zoids Comics"}}}}

She studied at the Instituto Superior Pedag\u00f3gico Enrique Jos\u00e9 Varona, but did not graduate. From 1984 to 1988, she worked for the Delegaci\u00f3n de Cuba at UNESCO in Paris and in the Oficina Cultural de la Misi\u00f3n de Cuba in Paris. From 1990 to 1995, she was an editor of the magazine Cine Cubano. She lives with her daughter in Paris. She has been married three times: with Cuban writer Manuel Pereira Quintero, Cuban government official Jos\u00e9 Antonio Gonz\u00e1lez and Cuban independent filmmaker Ricardo Vega.\n\n\nEarly life and education\nZo\u00e9 Vald\u00e9s was educated by her mother and abandoned by her father when she was a child. Vald\u00e9s began writing when she was nine or ten years old, thanks to her grandmother who would constantly read poetry to her. Her grandmother was of Chinese and Irish origins. When Vald\u00e9s was seventeen she wrote her first poetry collection, Respuestas para vivir (1981). She published her first poem when she was 19 years old in El Caim\u00e1n Barbudo, a literary magazine created and funded by communist youth. She published her first lyrical novel, Sangre Azul, in 1993.Vald\u00e9s was part of one of the first generations educated under the support of the Cuban Revolution. She studied at the Instituto Pedag\u00f3gico Enrique Varona until her fourth year. She later received her degree in Philology at the Universidad de La Habana and then continued her studies at the Alliance Francaise in Paris. From 1984 to 1988, she worked for the Delegaci\u00f3n de Cuba at UNESCO in Paris and in the Oficina Cultural de la Misi\u00f3n de Cuba in Paris.After returning to Cuba and being unemployed for a brief time, she became assistant director of the magazine Cine Cubano for four years (from 1990 to 1994). She also began to pursue a career as a scriptwriter for the Instituto Cubano del Arte e Industria Cinematogr\u00e1ficos (ICAIC). In 1990 she traveled to the United States in order to start filming her script Vidas paralelas. The filming of her script was then moved to Venezuela. In 1990 she received the award Primer Premio Coral for the best unreleased screenplay for her script, Vidas paralelas at the XII Festival Internacional del Nuevo Cine Latinoamericano.\n\n\nExile\nVald\u00e9s was officially exiled from Cuba in 1994 for political reasons. As an open opponent of the Castro regime, Vald\u00e9s always wanted to change the political scene in Cuba from within the country through her writing. However, she began to have issues with the magazine Cine Cubano and the Instituto Cubano del Arte e Industria Cinematogr\u00e1ficos (ICAIC), specifically the magazine's director, Alfredo Guevara. Furthermore, in the 1980s she was arrested for driving two Spanish tourists around Habana because one of the laws of the regime prohibited Cubans to interact with foreigners. In 1991, she received an award that was asked to be donated to the Castro regime, which she refused to do. She also signed a publishing deal for her novel La nada cotidiana with a French publishing company, without consulting the government. The only other person to do so was Reinaldo Arenas who was condemned to two years in jail.The Tugboat \"13 de Marzo\" massacre in July 1994 where 41 Cubans attempting to leave the country drowned at sea, pushed her to leave Cuba. In 1995 she left the country and moved to Paris with her husband at the time, the filmmaker Ricardo Vega, and her daughter Attys Luna, who was one and a half years old. She moved to Paris because she had an invitation from the Escuela Normal Superior to start a series of conferences about romantic poetry with Jose Mart\u00ed. When her first novel La nada cotidiana came out in France, and she began to give interviews about her work, the regime in Cuba forbade her to return to the country. While she saw exile as a punishment, she also viewed it as a form of liberty where she could find herself through her studies and her writing. In 1997 she acquired Spanish nationality thanks to her editor, Jos\u00e9 Manuel Lara and Oleguer Sarsanedas from the publisher, Planeta. After she received her Spanish citizenship she was able to receive her French residency.\n\n\nWorks\n\n\nPoetry\nVald\u00e9s made her debut in literature as a poet when in 1982 she won the award Primer Premio de Poes\u00eda Roque Dalton y Jaime Su\u00e1rez Quemain for her poetry collection Respuestas para vivir. She describes her poetry as intimate, erotic and ironic. It explores themes of desire and the passage of time. Her influences include: Juana Borrero, Juan Clemente Zenea, Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Heredia, Constantino Cavafis, Fernando Pessoa, Dulce Mar\u00eda Loynaz, Dorothy Parker, Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca, Pablo Neruda, C\u00e9sar Vallejo, Jos\u00e9 Mart\u00ed, Jos\u00e9 Lezama Lima, Octavio Paz, Jos\u00e9 Emilio Pacheco, Jaime Sabines, and Jos\u00e9 Triana.Her second collection of poems, Todo para una sombra received an accessit in the contest Premio Carlos Ortiz de Poes\u00eda in Spain in 1985. She published two other poetry collections in Spain titled Vag\u00f3n para fumadores (1996) and Cuerdas para el lince (1999).\n\n\nFilm\nVald\u00e9s wrote the screenplay for Vidas paralelas (1993), which tells the story of a man, Andy, who lives in Habana and dreams of moving to the United States. Another character, Rub\u00e9n, resides in New Jersey and remembers his time in Cuba. She also was the scriptwriter of Amorosa and Desequilibrio y profecia. She was the scriptwriter and co-directed the film Caricias de Osh\u00fan (2000) with Ricardo Vega, her husband at the time.\n\n\nNovels\nVald\u00e9s' narratives are known for their semi autobiographical nature and their themes of nostalgia, sexuality, eroticism and masculine fragility. Furthermore, her novels demonstrate her anti-Castro politics as she explores a critical view of Cuba. She has published fifteen novels. Her work has been translated into English, German, Flemish, Polish, Portuguese, Italian, Serbian, Czech, Slovakian, among other languages.Vald\u00e9s' first novel Sangre azul (1993) written during 1987-1991 in Paris and Cuba, is the only one of her novels that was published in Cuba. In this novel, Attys a young and beautiful Cuban woman lives with her step-father since her father abandoned her when she was young. As a teenager she falls in love with Gnossis, a painter. After Gnossis moves to Paris, she decides to go and look for him. While she is unsuccessful in finding him, she is able to find herself.One of her most well known novels is La nada cotidiana published in 1995 in Paris by the publisher Editorial Sctes-Sud. It was also later published in Spain, Sweden, Holland, United States, Portugal, Brazil, Greece, England, Turkey, Australia and Switzerland. In this novel, the protagonist, Patria [Homeland], is born in the year of the triumph of the Cuban Revolution. The paradise promised by the revolution turns into a trap characterized by hopelessness and frustration. Patria relies on her writing to find any sense of real hope.Another one of her novels is Caf\u00e9 nostalgia published in 1997. It tells the story of a woman, Marcela, who marries an old man in order to be able to leave Cuba. The novel explores the memories and life of a woman in exile. The novel is somewhat autobiographic.Her novel Lobas de mar won the award Premio Fernando Lara de Novela in 2003. It is a historical fiction novel about two female Caribbean pirates.She has also published two children's books: Los aretes de la Luna (1999) and Luna en el cafetal (2003).\n\n\nPolitical views and online presence\nVald\u00e9s is openly anticommunist and against the Fidel Castro regime. When she was six years old she started noticing that something was wrong in Cuba.\n\nShe maintains a blog where she recurrently attacks the Cuban Revolution. She published an article in El Mundo about Fulgencio Batista where she declared that he was an antifascist and argued that rather than carrying out a coup d'\u00e9tat, he started a revolution. She has received a lot of backlash for her political views.She shows on social networks her support for the conservative Spanish political party Vox, considered as a right-wing to far-right party by academics, political analysts, and many media outlets. Since February 2022, she began collaborating with La Gaceta de la Iberosfera, a VOX newspaper.She has also supported Trump's re-election in the United States, of which she said in an article: \"Let us pray that Donald Trump be re-elected in the next elections on November 3th -- a patriot, a humanist, a peacemaker...\"In 2020, she became a signatory of the Madrid Charter launched by Santiago Abascal, the leader of Vox, to fight communism around the world. The appeal is also understood as a first step towards the creation of a conservative international to wage a \"cultural battle against the left\".She has generated great controversies publishing dozens of articles attacking several authors and public figures, and even opponents of the Cuban regime such as multi-awarded blogger Yoani S\u00e1nchez, artist and activist Tania Bruguera, Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, Spanish author Almudena Grandes, and others.\n\n\nAwards\n1982 Premio de Poes\u00eda Roque Dalton y Jaime Su\u00e1rez Quemain\n1995 Finalista del Premio Planeta.\n1997 Premio Liberatur por La nada cotidiana.\n2003 Premio Fernando Lara por \"Lobas de mar\".\n2004 Premio de Novela Ciudad de Torrevieja, La Eternidad del Instante\n2013 Premio Azor\u00edn por \"La mujer que llora\".\n\n\nBooks\n2016 La noche al rev\u00e9s.

It is identified with the depopulated village of Sar'a. It has been identified with the former village of Sar'a, now often referred to as Tel Tzora.\n\n\nLocation\nZorah was situated on the crest of a hill overlooking the valley of Sorek. It lies at an elevation of about 1,150 feet (350 m) above sea-level.It is located 23 kilometers west of Jerusalem near Nahal Sorek.\n\n\nHistory\nZorah was mentioned together with Ajalon in the Amarna letters as a city attacked by the Apiru. Zorah has been identified with the biblical Zoreah (Joshua 15:33), and is the birthplace of Samson. Judges 13:2 states:\n\n\"there was a certain man from Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah\".Samson's grave is recorded as being near there (Judges 16:31), and which the historian Josephus says was in a village called Sarasat.In Joshua 19:41, Zorah is mentioned in the allotment of the Tribe of Judah, on the border with the Tribe of Dan. It was most likely the Danites who occupied Zorah.\nAccording to the Book of Chronicles, it was fortified by Rehoboam (2 Chronicles 11:10).\n\nThe Palestinian village Sar'a was located in the presumed location of the ancient town. It was depopulated during the 1948 Arab\u2013Israeli War. Conder and Kitchener, describing the site in 1881, said that, with the exception of the olive groves to the north of the village, the low hill on which the village lies is \"bare and white,\" a place now planted with a pine forest by the Jewish National Fund.Kibbutz Tzora is now located nearby, at the foot of Zorah mountain, on its southern side.\n\n\nArcheology\nCaves, tombs, cisterns and a winepress were discovered at Tel Tzora. Two winepresses were carved into the rock, one of which was paved with mosaic.\nA rock-hewn altar was found just below the tell. It has been nicknamed \"Manoah's Altar\", after Samson's father.\n\n\nReferences\n\n\nExternal links\nSurah (Zorah) in Survey of Western Palestine, Map 17: IAA, Wikimedia commons This article incorporates text from a publication now in the public domain: Easton, Matthew George (1897). \"Zorah\".

He became a first-team regular in the following 1997\u201398 campaign, attracting the attention of numerous domestic and foreign clubs. In the summer of 1998, Vuki\u0107 was snapped by Spanish club Atl\u00e9tico Madrid.\nAfter spending almost two years with Atl\u00e9tico's B team, playing in the Segunda Divisi\u00f3n, Vuki\u0107 returned to his homeland and signed with Partizan in April 2000. He made a name for himself over the next four seasons with the Crno-beli, scoring 52 goals across all competitions. In the 2002\u201303 season, Vuki\u0107 was the league's top scorer with 22 goals, as Partizan won the title.In June 2003, Vuki\u0107 signed a five-year contract with Ukrainian runners-up Shakhtar Donetsk. He was their top scorer with 13 goals in all competitions during his debut season. In his second year at the club, Vuki\u0107 helped the side win the championship despite being scoreless in the process. He also made his UEFA Champions League debut that season against the likes of Barcelona and Milan.\nIn August 2005, Vuki\u0107 was loaned to Premier League side Portsmouth until the end of the 2005\u201306 season. He scored his first goal for Portsmouth in a 4\u20131 win over Sunderland on 29 October 2005. However, after the sacking of manager Alain Perrin and reinstatement of former manager Harry Redknapp, Vuki\u0107 was deemed surplus to requirements.\nIn January 2006, Vuki\u0107 found himself back in familiar territory, having been loaned to his former club Partizan for the rest of the 2005\u201306 season. He rejoined the Belgrade side just a few days following Danko Lazovi\u0107's comeback. Unfortunately, Vuki\u0107 broke a foot in a friendly game against Ural Yekaterinburg, managing to play just two competitive matches after a long pause.\nAfter his contract with Shakhtar Donetsk expired in the summer of 2008, Vuki\u0107 joined Moscow. However, the Ukrainian club claimed that they have a valid contract with the player. Eventually, FIFA allowed Vuki\u0107 to play for the Russian club in October 2008. He scored on his debut for the side in a league fixture against Terek Grozny on 2 November 2008. After the club folded in February 2010, Vuki\u0107 became a free agent.\n\n\nThird stint at Partizan\nIn May, and November 2010, after training with the club for several months, Vuki\u0107 was again linked to Partizan, but no deal was concluded. He eventually signed with his former club on 31 January 2011, penning a one-year deal. Vuki\u0107 chose the number 80 shirt and was officially presented together with Ghanaian international Prince Tagoe. He helped Partizan win the double, scoring from the penalty spot in the Serbian Cup final against Vojvodina.\nAt the start of the 2011\u201312 campaign, Vuki\u0107 assumed his old number 10 shirt. He opened the season with a goal against Shk\u00ebndija in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League. However, after a weak form in August 2010, Vuki\u0107 became a subject of fans criticism, briefly dropping from the first team.\nOn 21 September 2011, Vuki\u0107 returned to the lineup and scored a goal in the Serbian Cup first round against Novi Pazar. He then scored a brace in his first league game after six rounds for a 2\u20130 victory over Spartak Subotica on 15 October 2011. In the next 30 days, Vuki\u0107 netted five more, including three league and two cup goals. He also scored the opening goal in a 2\u20130 away win against arch-rivals on 26 November 2011, becoming a fans favorite again. In the last two rounds of the first half of the season, Vuki\u0107 scored two more goals to complete his fantastic performances in late 2011.\nOn 24 January 2012, after much speculation, Vuki\u0107 signed another one-year contract with Partizan. He continued his good performances in the second half of the season, being named in the SuperLiga Team of the Season. However, Vuki\u0107 was removed from the squad in August 2012, because of disagreements with reappointed manager Vladimir Vermezovi\u0107.\n\n\nCareer in Greece\nOn 30 January 2013, Vuki\u0107 joined PAOK on a free transfer, signing a one-and-a-half-year deal. He played three matches in the Super League Greece until the end of the 2012\u201313 regular season, scoring two goals in his first two appearances for the club against Panionios and Panathinaikos. Vuki\u0107 also recorded four appearances in the Super League playoffs.On 26 April 2014, Vuki\u0107 was the only scorer for his team in the Greek Cup final, converting a penalty in the 70th minute of their 4\u20131 loss to Panathinaikos. He was also one of the team's top scorers in the 2013\u201314 season, with 15 goals in all competitions, before eventually leaving PAOK at the end of his contract.\nOn 7 September 2014, Vuki\u0107 joined Veria on a free transfer, signing a one-year contract. He was given the number 99 shirt. On 12 February 2015, Vuki\u0107 terminated his contract with Veria by mutual consent.\n\n\nInternational career\nVuki\u0107 earned 26 caps for Serbia and Montenegro, making his full international debut in a 2\u20132 home draw with Azerbaijan on 12 February 2003. He scored his first national team goal in a 3\u20132 win over Wales at Millennium Stadium on 11 October 2003.Vuki\u0107 was a regular member of the team during the 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification, scoring four goals in the process. He was included in the final 23-man squad for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, despite having been in the process of convalescence after a long break due to foot injury. Eventually, Vuki\u0107 made one appearance in the final tournament, coming in from the bench in a 6\u20130 loss to Argentina.\n\n\nCareer statistics\n\n\nClub\n\n\nInternational\n\n\nHonours\nPartizan\n\nFirst League of FR Yugoslavia: 2001\u201302, 2002\u201303\nFR Yugoslavia Cup: 2000\u201301\nSerbian SuperLiga: 2010\u201311, 2011\u201312\nSerbian Cup: 2010\u201311Shakhtar Donetsk\n\nUkrainian Premier League: 2004\u201305, 2007\u201308\nUkrainian Cup: 2003\u201304, 2007\u201308\nUkrainian Super Cup: 2005Individual\n\nFK Partizan Player of the Year: 2002\nFirst League of Serbia and Montenegro Top Scorer: 2002\u201303\nSerbian SuperLiga Team of the Season: 2011\u201312\n\n\nNotes\n\n\nReferences\n\n\nExternal links\n\nZvonimir Vuki\u0107 at BDFutbol\nZvonimir Vuki\u0107 at Soccerway\nZvonimir Vuki\u0107 at WorldFootball.net\nZvonimir Vuki\u0107 at FootballDatabase.eu"}}}}

The festival is a combination of motorcross, music, theatre and stunts.\n'Zwarte Cross' literally means 'black cross'; it is a reference to the illegal motocross races in the 1960s.\n\n\nHistory\n\nThe first edition of the Zwarte Cross took place in 1997. It was a motorcross in which anyone could compete on a motorcycle, moped or scooter. About 150 people competed, and there were 1000 visitors. The day was concluded with a concert of the organizing rock band, Jovink en de Voederbietels. Although the name suggested the race was illegal, the organisation had all the needed permits.\nThe festival proved to be successful, and the second edition had 350 competitors, and 4000 visitors, but a lot of people got injured. Therefore, the organisation decided to cooperate with a professional motorcross-club, HALMAC in Halle. The third edition was held on their official Grand Prix circuit.\nIn 2007, the festival moved to Lichtenvoorde.\nThe mascot and logo of the Zwarte Cross is 'Tante Rikie', Rikie Nijman, the mother of Jovink's manager, Andr\u00e9 Nijman. She is the unofficial festival CEO and is well-known by the visitors. During the festival, she is carried around in a sedan chair, and visitors kneel for her.\n\n\nEditions\n\n\n2010\nThe 14th edition took place 15 July - 18 July. Performing bands were: Airbourne, Band Zonder Banaan, The Baseballs, Big Shampoo and the Hairstylers, Black Spiders, Caro Emerald, Coparck, DeWolff, Di-rect, Jon Oliva's Pain, Guus Meeuwis, Kamelot, K's Choice, Mala Vita, Marike Jager, Moss. 148,000 people visited the festival.\nOn 12 July, only a few days before the festival, a storm hit the festival-terrain. 4 people were injured. All of the already built tents were blown over, some destroyed. The damage was over 1 million euro. The scenery of the mega-tent (the biggest on the terrain, was replaced by an outdoor-stage.\nSaturday 17 July, an employee of a fairground attraction was killed in an accident, while testing the ride.\n\n\n2011\nThe 15th edition had 152,500 visitors. Some of the bands performing were: Blondie, Anthrax, Disabuse, Ilse de Lange, Jacqueline Govaert, Life of Agony, Miss Montreal, The Black Crowes, Helloween, Sepultura, Vanderbuyst, De Staat, Go Back to the Zoo and Annihilator. About 150 bands played on 20 stages.\n\n\n2012\nThe 16th edition took place from 20 July - 22 July. The registration for competitors was closed in a record time, within ten minutes. Some of the bands were: Kaiser Chiefs, Within Temptation, DeWolff and Direct.\n\n\n2020-2021\nEditions 2020 and 2021 were not held because of the Covid pandemic.\n\n\n2022\nThe 2022 edition was held from 15 to 17 July.

It has been named after Mario Zucchelli, director of the activities, which conducted for sixteen years, for the ENEA-Unit\u00e0 Tecnica Antartide as part of the National Antarctic Research Program (PNRA).The main functions carried out by the Station are:\n\nlogistic support to scientific personnel operating in remote fields\nlogistical and operational support to the oceanographic ship\nsupport to research activities with laboratories and instrumentation\nsupport to personnel and material in transit for Concordia Station\nsupport to air operations\n\n\nDescription\nThe Zucchelli Station is a seasonal (from mid-October until mid-March) research Antarctic Station on the Terra Nova Bay located at an altitude of 15 metres (49 ft) and covers an area of approximately 7,500 square meters. In 2010, the Station was enlarged and in the austral summer the traverse leave for Concordia Station operated jointly with France.\n\n\nMain building\nThe main building was built in 1985, in the first seasonal expedition, on a steel structure 1.5 metres (4 ft 11 in) from the ground and consist of 82 containers, 42 of which used for the personnel accommodation and services while the remaining 40 to the support activities as:\n\noperations room situated on the top of the building, like a control tower, looking over the base\ncommunications room, adjacent to the operation room to facilitate the HF radio and the satellite radio transmissions\ncalculation room which give informatics support and data transmission,\noffices,\nlaboratories (chemistry, biology, geology, electronics),\ncafeteria,\nkitchen,\nemergency,\ninfirmary,\nlaundry.\n\n\nTechnical plants\n\n\nResearch activity\n\n\nIcaro Camp\nIcaro Camp (74\u00b042\u203243\u2033S 164\u00b007\u203200\u2033E) is a facility, fitted as a meteorological station, located 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) south of the Zucchelli Station.\nThe camp consists of two blue containers, held by guy-wires, meteorological equipment, solar panels and a wind generator. Although the structures are not suited to accommodate people, they could shelter a dozen in case of emergency.\n\n\nTransportation\n\n\nBoulder Clay Runway\nBoulder Clay Runway (74\u00b044\u203222\u2033S 164\u00b002\u203207\u2033E) is located about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) south of Zucchelli Station on the Northern Foothills; the construction started in the 2016\u201317 season and will be completed in the 2021\u201322. The Italian team usually use an Ice Runway in the Gerlache Inlet to start the summer campaign but in recent years the ice runway was closed earlier then before because of the climate change and the melting of the ice. The airstrip is situated on the Boulder Clay Moraine and is built with the least environmental impact as possible. It is a gravel runway 2,200 metres (7,200 ft) long and 60 metres (200 ft) wide in order to be suitable to the Safair or Aeronautica Militare C-130J or other larger types, such as the C-17 Globemaster, Airbus A319-115LR and Boeing 757. The airfield will be completed with a taxiway which connect the apron with the runway, an apron for aircraft parking and operational tasks, capable of stationing two C-130 Hercules, fire service as ICAO standards, fuel deposit, terminal and shed for the personnel, operation room and a power unit.\n\n\nEnigma Lake Skiway\nEnigma Lake Skiway is situated at an elevation of 135 metres (443 ft), on the Northern Foothills, 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) south of Zucchelli Station on an iced lake. Being 725 metres (2,379 ft) long it is operated by the Twin Otters and Basler BT-67. The skyway is prepared by removing the snow accumulated in the winter by the Station staff; in the same place stands an AWS (Rita) which makes part of the network managed by the Antarctic Meteo-Climatological Weather Observatory.\n\n\nZucchelli Ice Runway\nZucchelli Ice Runway is located in the Gerlache Inlet and is prepared, at the beginning of each season, by the station's logistic personnel in mid-October. The sea ice runway is suitable for operating the Aeronautica Militare or Safair wheeled C-130, but in the latest years it was closed earlier than before because the sea ice break up. Two runways are prepared, one is the 03/21 which is 3,090 metres (10,140 ft) long and 76 metres (249 ft) wide used by the C-130, the other is the 06/24 which is shorter measuring 1,640 metres (5,380 ft) in length and 50 metres (160 ft) in width utilised by the Twin Otters and the Basler BT-67.\n\n\nClimate\n\n\nAWS Network\nThe Antarctic Meteo-Climatological Weather Observatory, established in 1985, attempt to a give a contribution to understand the climate change through the study of the atmospheric dynamics. The programme is defined by two projects supported by the National Antarctic Research Program (PNRA), one regarding the Victoria Land and the other the Concordia Station, carried out by the ENEA personnel. The centre run an Automatic weather station network, distributed through the territory, having the responsibility of the instrumentation assembly, the maintenance and the data collection. \nThe network include 16 AW stations operating all year around: \n\n\nSee also\nList of Antarctic research stations\nList of Antarctic field camps\nAirports in Antarctica\nConcordia Station operated by France and Italy\nJang Bogo Station a South Korean station in Terra Nova Bay\n\n\nGallery\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\n\nReferences\n\n\nExternal links\n\nCOMNAP Antarctic Facilities\nCOMNAP Antarctic Facilities Map\nMario Zucchelli Station - pdf\nMario Zucchelli Station (English Text)\nOfficial website"}}}}

She made her first screen appearance during the episode broadcast on 12 December 1989. Zoe was involved in many major storylines during her time on the soap, including the deaths of her father Frank (Norman Bowler) and brother Chris (Peter Amory), the betrayal and departure of her stepmother Kim (Claire King), coming out as gay and a battle with schizophrenia. Zoe became the first lesbian character in a British soap opera when she came out in 1993. She departed on 22 September 2005.\n\n\nStorylines\nZoe's family move to Beckindale, while she is at university studying to be a veterinary surgeon. Following her graduation, Zoe also moves to the village and finds employment at a surgery in Hotten. Zoe helps deliver Elsa Feldmann's (Naomi Lewis) baby and she becomes involved in a protest march for animal rights. Zoe leaves the village when she gets a job as a flying vet in New Zealand. She returns the following year and helps Frank with his drinking problem, which he developed during the breakdown of his marriage to Kim. Zoe has a one-night stand with Elsa's brother, Michael (Matthew Vaughan) and a fling with Archie Brooks (Tony Pitts). Zoe eventually tells Archie that she is gay. Zoe meets interior designer Emma Nightingale (Rachel Ambler) and they begin a relationship. Zoe is almost raped by Ken Adlington (Douglas McFerran), but she fights him off and Emma tries to convince her to tell the police. Zoe refuses and Ken denies the attack happened. Frank gets revenge for Zoe by publicly humiliating Ken. Emma and Zoe decide to have a blessing. Emma's ex-girlfriend, Susie Wilde (Louise Heaney), turns up in the village and Zoe falls for her. Shortly after the blessing ceremony, Zoe leaves Emma for Susie. Zoe and Susie's relationship ends when Susie has an affair with another woman.\nZoe sets up a veterinary practice with Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt). She is devastated when she discovers Frank has died. She begins dating Sophie Wright (Jane Cameron), the nanny for Frank and Kim's son James Tate (Sam Silson). They break up when Zoe wants to start a family but Sophie does not. Zoe initially resists the married Becky Cairns' (Sarah Neville) advances but later has a fling with her. She later develops a crush on truck driver, Frankie Smith (Madeleine Bowyer). Chris is kidnapped by Liam Hammond (Mark Powley), who reveals he is Frank's illegitimate child. Zoe rescues her brother and shoots Liam dead. Chris and Zoe try to cover up the crime and a jury reaches a verdict of lawful killing. Zoe then gets together with Frankie. Zoe is not happy when Chris moves Charity Dingle into Home Farm and gives her a job as his assistant. However, Charity and Zoe begin an affair, but when Zoe starts exhibiting obsessive behaviour towards Charity, it ends. Zoe starts blackmailing Charity, who confesses the affair to Chris. He chooses Charity over Zoe and she becomes depressed. Zoe then begins talking to her deceased father and she sets fire to the church. During one of her early schizophrenic episodes she ends up having\nsex with Scott Windsor (Ben Freeman) but has no memory of the event.\nZoe is sectioned and diagnosed with schizophrenia. She also discovers she is pregnant, with no idea how it happened, and she considers having an abortion. After seeing the baby during a scan, Zoe changes her mind and decides to put the baby up for adoption instead. Zoe later chooses to keep her baby and she gives birth to a daughter named Jean (Megan Pearson). Zoe returns to work at the veterinary surgery in the village and she hires Chloe Atkinson (Amy Nuttall) to be Jean's nanny. When Zoe notices Jean is crying more often, she takes her to the hospital and is told that Jean has a couple of broken ribs. Syd Woolfe (Nathan Gladwell) eventually confesses that Jean's injuries occurred when he and Chloe took their eyes off her when they were together. Zoe immediately fires Chloe. Scott realises that he is Jean's father and when Zoe finds out she becomes convinced that he raped her. Ashley Thomas (John Middleton) tells Zoe that she had in fact had sex with him before being diagnosed and Zoe accepts that she willingly had sex with Scott, albeit with no recollection of the incident.\nChris commits suicide and frames Charity for murder. Charity becomes aware that Zoe knows the truth and tries to seduce her. However, this does not change Zoe's mind and she testifies that Charity killed Chris. Charity is found guilty and sent to prison. She later gives birth to Zoe's nephew, Noah (Alfie Mortimer). Zoe, in her time of loneliness and feeling like her daughter should have a mother and father in her life has a very brief relationship with Scott, she tries to be romantic with him, but since she is obviously not attracted to him, she has an affair with Rachel Whatmore (Zoe Lambert). Charity agrees to give Zoe custody of Noah for the evidence that Chris committed suicide. Zoe tries to adopt Noah, but she is refused permission. Noah is later returned to his mother. Zoe continues to run Home Farm and the businesses Chris left her, aided by estate manager Callum Rennie (Andrew Whipp) and nanny Effie Harrison (Phillipa Peak). Zoe plans to emigrate to New Zealand with Jean and Joseph. Zoe takes revenge on Scott after she learns he was going to betray her and lets him think that they are going to reunite and when he proposes, she turns him down. Stating she would, rather \"put needles in her eyes\". Scott then attacks Zoe and attempts to rape her. Initially trying to defend herself, Zoe injects him with ketamine. However, when Scott falls unconscious, she injects him again and is later arrested for attempted murder.\nEffie reveals her feelings for Zoe and shortly before she is due to stand trial, Zoe plans to run away with her and the children. At the airport, Sadie King (Patsy Kensit) appears and blackmails Zoe into returning home and selling Home Farm to her at a reduced price. When Zoe returns home, Effie pleads with her to understand, but Zoe punches her. She stands trial for attempted murder and is freed when Paddy reveals that Scott was angry on the night of the attack and had threatened him. Zoe packs up Home Farm and plans to leave with Callum, who refuses to stay behind with the Kings. Zoe and Callum break a gas pipe and set a timer to go off just as Tom (Ken Farrington), Jimmy (Nick Miles) and Max King (Charlie Kemp) arrive. Callum stops the car and he and Zoe watch the house explode before driving away.\nWhen James (now Alexander Lincoln) returned in 2019, he and Paddy talked about vets and his reason he wanted to be a vet was down to Zoe's days as a vet.\n\n\nCasting\nTwo years after graduating from the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art and having only done theatre and commercial work, Bracknell was cast in the role of Zoe. Bracknell initially signed a nine-month contract and she thought that was how long the job would last. She also stated: \"I'd only ever been to Leeds once before, and I'd never really watched Emmerdale. It was strange, going from the dole with no money, to having a proper job.\" Bracknell made her first appearance as Zoe on 12 December 1989.In March 2005, Bracknell announced she was to take a nine-month break from Emmerdale. A reporter for the BBC said she would leave in the autumn following a dramatic storyline involving Zoe. Bracknell said \"I am looking forward to spending some time with my family and having the opportunity to pursue other projects. I will also be finishing my teaching diploma in yoga which is something I am passionate about.\" Series producer Kath Beedles said she wished Bracknell all the best and looked forward to welcoming her back in the future. Beedles added that Bracknell had made \"a huge contribution to Emmerdale's ongoing success.\" Despite initial reports that it would be a temporary break, Bracknell never returned to Emmerdale. The actress died in October 2019.\n\n\nDevelopment\n\n\nCharacterisation\nZoe arrived in the village a month after her father, Frank (Norman Bowler), stepmother Kim (Claire King) and brother Chris (Peter Amory) moved into Home Farm. Chris and Zoe's mother, Jean, died of cancer. Originally studying to be a veterinary surgeon, Zoe later started a veterinary practice in Emmerdale. In his 2002 book, 30 Years of Emmerdale, Lance Parkin noted that Zoe stuck up for what she believed in and was committed to animal rights and welfare.Parkin described Zoe as \"charitable and reasonable compared with the other Tates\". He said while Zoe had a romantic streak, she also had a dark side, which often saw her become moody and angry. Bracknell said of her character in 2005: \"She was very unpredictable which I liked. She wasn't a victim but she had lots of problems to deal with and at the same time she could be very Tate-like, ruthless and sometimes violent.\"\n\n\nSexuality\nIn early 1993, Zoe decided that she wanted more from her friendship with Archie Brooks (Tony Pitts), and the two later began a relationship. Zoe struggled to deal with the physical aspect of their relationship and she realised that she was a lesbian. Inside Soap's Richard Arnold commented that apart from a one-night stand with Michael Feldmann (Matthew Vaughan) and an older man, Patrick, who she once brought home for Christmas, Zoe did not have much experience with men and the mystery behind that had finally been revealed. Bracknell explained that Zoe was not aware of her sexuality when she decided to have sex with Archie and said \"Zoe wanted to sleep with Archie to put her fears to rest but she didn't do it to prove anything. She didn't count out the possibility that it could all work out with him.\" Bracknell added that Archie would be gutted by the news, but Zoe would want to remain his friend. Bracknell thought Zoe's sexuality would be \"a big hurdle to cross\" with her family, especially with Frank who Zoe was very close to. Arnold reported that Zoe's bad luck with men was one reason why the show's producers felt the storyline could work for the character. He added that lesbianism had not been tackled before in a British soap. Of how the storyline unfolds, Bracknell explained \"Zoe is quite feminine and not the obvious media stereotype of a lesbian, but the writers aren't taking any sort of moral stance. This is something that Zoe discovers gradually and it will be dealt with constructively, emotionally and positively.\"\n\n\nSchizophrenia\nZoe was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2002. According to Bracknell, this was the Emmerdale storyline she was most proud of portraying, \"[b]ecause it dealt with a particular area of mental health and we did it over a relatively long period of time - about ten months - so there was a lot of research involved and the story was ongoing and changing. We had to get the nuts and bolts right and also it wasn't just about how it affected her [Zoe] but also the effect on her family.\"\n\n\nReception\nFor her portrayal of Zoe, Bracknell received a nomination for Most Popular Actress at the 8th National Television Awards in 2002. The character's last episode was an hour-long special that aired on 22 September 2005 and was watched by 8.58 million viewers. In 2006, Zoe's departure from the show was named Best Exit by The British Soap Awards.Emmerdale received praise for the way it handled Zoe's sexuality. The Daily Mirror noted in 2002 that despite being a \"schizophrenic lesbian vet\", \"Zoe Tate is actually a fairly credible character,\" and that \"[a]fter 10 years, she has served her time as the only serious lesbian in soap.\" In the 2006 book The Way We Are Now: Gay and Lesbian Lives in the 21st Century, Jane Czyzselska wrote that lesbian characters in British television tended to be \"issuized\", but singled out Emmerdale as one of the few exceptions, \"where vet Zoe Tate is subject to the crazy ideas of the script writers as much as the next heterosexual character.\" Sarah and Lee from AfterEllen said in 2010: \"Actress Leah Bracknell left Emmerdale in 2005 and many waved a fond farewell to the longest running and possibly the best representation of a lesbian ever to grace British soap land. Emmerdale is still the only soap to allow its lesbian resident to exist without having to wear a sign around her neck that constantly reinforced her sexuality. Sometimes she was just having a drink, or working or visiting her brother. No other British soap opera has managed this since.\"The Sunday Mail's Steve Hendry described Zoe as the \"wealthy, lesbian vet [...] who brought more misery to the Dales than an outbreak of foot and mouth.\"\n\n\nReferences\n\n\nBook references\nParkin, Lance (2002). 30 Years of Emmerdale.

The main museum site is located at the former tram depot, Tramdepot Burgwies. The museum also maintains a workshop at the much smaller former tram depot of Wartau.The tram museum is run by an association, the Verein Tram Museum Z\u00fcrich, which has some 500 members, and is responsible for looking after the exhibits of the museum. The tram cars remain in the ownership of the Verkehrsbetriebe Z\u00fcrich, the city-owned operator of the Z\u00fcrich tram system.\n\n\nHistory\n\nThe Z\u00fcrich Tram Museum was founded in 1967, and at first it used various borrowed locations to store and work on its exhibits. In 1989 it took over the tiny former Strassenbahn Z\u00fcrich\u2013H\u00f6ngg (StZH) tram depot at Wartau, which had been out of use as a tram depot since the 1923 acquisition of the StZH by the city, and opened its first public museum there. The new museum was just big enough to hold five preserved trams.In May 2007, the museum moved to the significantly larger former tram depot at Burgwies, although Wartau has been retained as a workshop and store. On 26 May 2007, twelve heritage trams each ran from a different Z\u00fcrich terminus, converging into a parade along the Limmatquai. At the end of the parade, they ran to the new museum at Burgwies.On 21 May 2017, to celebrate both the fiftieth anniversary of the foundation of the tram museum, and the tenth anniversary of its move to Burgweis, another tram parade was held through the city centre. The parade comprised 18 tram cars from all epochs between 1885 and 2006 and was led by a horse-drawn replica of a Z\u00fcrich horse tram that is normally kept at the Swiss Museum of Transport in Lucerne. Other trams came from the Z\u00fcrich Tram Museum's preserved fleet, and from Verkehrsbetriebe Z\u00fcrich's current operational fleet. The tram crews and passengers wore costumes appropriate to the era of the tram in which they travelled.\n\n\nAccess\n\nThe main museum site at Burgwies is open to the public on several days a week, with exact opening hours varying by day of the week and season of the year. The museum is located by the Bergweis tram stop, on tram route 11 at the boundary of the city's Weinegg and Hirslanden quarters. The museum also runs an occasional historic tram service between Burgwies and the city centre, billed as tram route 21. Route 21 operates on both days of the last weekend of each month, providing a half-hourly frequency in summer and an hourly frequency in winter, during museum opening hours.The site at Wartau is located on tram route 13 in the H\u00f6ngg quarter, but is not normally open to the public.\n\n\nCollection\n\n\nTram fleet\nThe museum's collection includes about 20 preserved tram cars, the majority of which are operational. In addition to cars from Z\u00fcrich's city owned fleet, the collection includes cars from the private companies that operated routes around Z\u00fcrich in the early days. Cars from the city fleet demonstrate changes in design over time, from cars very similar to these early private sector vehicles, through the 1930s Elefant bogie cars and 1940s Swiss Standard Tram cars, to trams recently retired.The preserved tram fleet of the museum includes the following vehicles:\n\n\nOther exhibits\n\nThe museum also includes a mezzanine level with smaller exhibits. These include a model tramway layout illustrating the city's street scene over the years, together with a selection of documents and photographs. The museum shop stocks a selection of books, postcards, models and souvenirs.The museum building, the former Tramdepot Burgwies, is also a significant exhibit in its own right, and is shared with a branch of the Migros supermarket chain. The building is inscribed on the Swiss Inventory of Cultural Property of National Significance.\n\n\nReferences\n\n\nExternal links\n Media related to Tram-Museum Z\u00fcrich at Wikimedia Commons\nZurich Tram Museum official web site"}}}}

In 2005, Zumbo had a population of 33,000, and it lies in the Zumbo District of Tete Province.\nZumbo was established as a trading post in the last part of the 17th century by the Portuguese. It became prosperous as it traded along the middle Zambezi and into Zimbabwe, and up the lower Luangwa, trading for ivory as far away as Lake Bangweulu. It dominated the area, and traders from Zumbo settled in Feira. Zumbo declined after Northern and Southern Rhodesia (later Zambia and Zimbabwe) became part of the British Empire, cutting off its trade with those territories.\nIn the 1970s the Cahora Bassa Dam and lake were created downstream. Zumbo is at the farthest upstream extent of the lake.\nThe town's strategic location meant that in the Mozambican War of Independence and Mozambican Civil War, guerrilla warfare was active in and around the town and many landmines were laid. Zumbo was abandoned for a time in the civil war and partially destroyed, and reconstruction is still continuing.\nAs well as fishing in the river and lake, economic activity relies on trade with the neighbouring countries, inevitably involving smuggling as well. There are small coal mines near the town, and the main crops grown on the fertile banks and floodplain of the rivers are rice, cassava, and beans.\nRoad connections with the rest of Mozambique are in very poor condition, and the main means of travel and supply is by boat from Songo at the Cahora Bassa Dam."}}}}
