# National Union for Independence

The National Union for Independence (French: Union nationale pour l'indépendance, UNI) is a militant socialist pro-independence alliance of political parties in New Caledonia. It is a component of the Kanak Socialist National Liberation Front (FLNKS) along with the Caledonian Union.
Since 2021, leader Louis Mapou has been President of the Government of New Caledonia

## Components

The term UNI has now been changed to include a broad coalition of:
* Party of Kanak Liberation (Palika)
* Melanesian Progressive Union (UPM)
* Oceanian Democratic Rally (RDO)
* Renewed Caledonian Union (UC-R) in the Loyalty Islands
The Palika is by far the largest of the four parties.

## History

The term UNI was first applied in 1995 to refers to a dissident list from the FLNKS led by Paul Néaoutyine in the North Province. Since then, the term UNI refers to the broad coalition led by the Palika in various provincial elections since then.
In the 2009 provincial elections, the party won 10 seats (of which 8 went to the Palika, the other two to the UC-R and RDO respectively) in the Congress of New Caledonia and around 6.87% of the vote. However, in the South Province, the UNI ran on a common slate with the Caledonian Union and won three of the four seats won by that list (the Palika won one, the UPM won one, and the RDO won one).

# Thembile Kanono

Thembile Kanono (born 30 June 1980 in Thaba Nchu) is a South African football (soccer) midfielder.
# Nur-Ali Khalifa

Nur-Ali Khalifa, also known as Nur-Ali Khalifa Rumlu, was an early 16th-century Iranian military leader and official from the Turkoman Rumlu tribe. He served as the governor of Erzincan from c. 1511 to 1515 during the reign of Safavid Shah Ismail I (r. 1501–1524).
Nur-Ali Khalifa was a pivotal figure in the early days of the Safavid realm. His large-scale campaign in Anatolia in 1512, with troops levied on the spot from Sufis belonging to the Safavid order and which coincided with the ascension of Selim I (r. 1512-1520) to the throne, was one of the casus belli that led to the Battle of Chaldiran (1514). This Safavid force led by Nur-Ali Khalifa penetrated deep into Anatolia, captured and sacked the town of Tokat, had the khotbeh read there in Ismail I's name, and managed to defeat an Ottoman army led by Sinan Pasha that was sent after them.
During the decisive Chaldiran battle, Nur-Ali Khalifa and Mohammad Khan Ustajlu were Ismail I's (r. 1501-1524) commanders who had first-hand experience with the Ottoman ways of warfare. They both advised to attack at once, in order to prevent the Ottoman's from establishing their proper defensive positions, but were rudely rebuffed by Durmish Khan Shamlu. Durmish Khan considered it "cowardly to engage an unprepared enemy". Ismail I chose to endorse Durmish Khan Shamlu's suggestion for the attack and thus the Ottomans were allowed to prepare their defenses at their leisure; this would prove costly, contributing to the sound Safavid defeat at Chaldiran.

# Bahntower

The Bahntower (English: Railway Tower), also written as BahnTower and Bahn-Tower, is a 26-story, 103-metre (338 ft) skyscraper on the Potsdamer Platz in Berlin, Germany. Built between 1998 and 2000, the Bahntower provides 22,000 m$^2$ (240,000 sq ft) of office space for the headquarters of Deutsche Bahn (English: German Railway). It is the sixth-tallest building in Berlin and the sixty-fourth tallest building in Germany.

## History

In 2007 and 2008, it was reported that small pieces of glass had fallen onto the street from cracks in the façade. This was followed by a near-fatal incident in 2016 in which a pane of glass measuring 30 by 150 cm (1 by 5 ft) fell onto a car on the street below.
The original owner of the skyscraper was Sony as part of the wider Sony Center. In February 2008, Morgan Stanley and others bought the Sony Center with the tower for €600 million. In 2007, Deutsche Bahn had planned to move to a new headquarters built by Danish company 3XN outside the Berlin Hauptbahnhof, although this fell through and Deutsche Bahn extended its Bahntower contract.
When Morgan Stanley's real estate funds came into difficulties they sold their stake to South Korea's National Pension Service in 2010.
In 2016, the Bahntower was featured in the Berlin skyline scene, which is part of the Lego Architecture series.

### Final part

# Edward Pelham-Clinton, 10th Duke of Newcastle

Edward Charles Pelham-Clinton, 10th Duke of Newcastle-under-Lyne (18 August 1920 – 25 December 1988), was an English lepidopterist and military officer as well as Duke of Newcastle for less than two months at the end of his life, inheriting the titles from a third cousin. He was thus briefly a member of the House of Lords.

## Education and career

Pelham-Clinton was the son of Guy Edward Pelham-Clinton, an army officer and a grandson of Lord Charles Clinton, who was a younger son of Henry Pelham-Clinton, 4th Duke of Newcastle. He was educated at Eton, and Trinity College, Oxford, and during the Second World War served as an officer in the Royal Artillery, rising to the rank of captain and being mentioned in dispatches. His younger brother, Alastair Pelham-Clinton, was a Royal Air Force Flying Officer and died in 1943 aged twenty.
Pelham-Clinton was interested in lepidopterology from a young age and specialized in entomology at Cambridge. An expert in the subject, from 1960 to 1980 he was Deputy Keeper of the Royal Scottish Museum, in Edinburgh. He acted as an associate editor of six volumes of the series The Moths and Butterflies of Great Britain and Ireland, in which he wrote articles about Tineidae, Choreutidae, and Glyphipterigidae, and was working on Elachistidae at the time of his death. A building in Dinton Pastures Country Park was named after him by the British Entomological and Natural History Society, of which he had been a member.

## Succession to peerages

Pelham-Clinton succeeded a third cousin in the earldom and dukedom in November 1988. He died one month and 21 days later, aged 68, unmarried. As all other heirs male from the second duke's line had died, the dukedom became extinct, but the peerage of Earl of Lincoln was inherited by a distant kinsman in Australia. He left an estate valued for probate at £2,222,203, equivalent to £7,500,000 in 2023, and his stated usual abode was Furzeleigh House, Axminster.

## Coat of arms

# RFNS Kikau

RFNS Kikau (202) is a Pacific-class patrol boat operated by Fiji and launched in 1995. She was designed and built by Australia. Australia agreed to provide twenty-two patrol boats to twelve of its neighbours and fellow members of the Pacific Forum, after the recently concluded United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea extended maritime nations' exclusive economic zone to 200 kilometres (110 nmi). Australia provided two other patrol vessels to Fiji, Kula and Kiro. Australia also provided training and infrastructure for the gifted vessels.

## Operational history

Although Australia designed the vessels using commercial off-the-shelf components, so smaller countries, like Fiji, would find them easier to maintain, Fiji found the vessels hard to maintain, and there were periods where only Kula remained operational.
Kikau completed an extensive refit at Cairns, Australia on July 25, 2018.

## Replacement

Australia started building 21 larger and more capable replacement vessels in 2017. Fiji is scheduled to receive two new vessels. Kikau is expected to remain in service until 2022.
