# Tiger (2024 film)

Tiger is a 2024 American nature documentary film about tigers directed by Mark Linfield, Vanessa Berlowitz, and Rob Sullivan and narrated by Priyanka Chopra. It is the seventeenth nature documentary to be released under the Disneynature label. The film was released as a Disney+ exclusive on Earth Day April 22, 2024.

## Plot

In the vast forests of India, a female tiger named Ambar has recently birthed an unusually large litter of four cubs. She will need to feed and protect her cubs for months before they can eat solid foods or hunt on their own. She will also need to hunt for meat to keep up her milk supply, leaving her cubs alone at times. The cubs are in regular danger from other predators, including the king of the jungle, male tiger Shankar. Through it all, Ambar navigates her environment and Shankar, as the cubs grow to full size.

## Production

Priyanka Chopra served as the narrator of Disneynature's documentary about tigers. Mark Linfield and Vanessa Berlowitz, the directing duo of Disneynature's film Elephant (2020), directed and produced the film for producer Roy Conli. Nitin Sawhney composed the film's score.

## Release

Tiger was released as a Disney+ exclusive on Earth Day April 22, 2024.

## Reception

On the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 88%, based on 8 reviews, with an average rating of 5.8/10.
Jennifer Green of Common Sense Media rated the film 4 out of 5 stars, praised the film for its wonderment and natural beauty, stating "it humanized their subjects and setting their daily actions to evocative music for easier understanding. For example, when mama tiger Ambar finds two cubs missing, Chopra Jonas tells us how she must be feeling as a melancholy tune plays in the background". John Serba of Decider gave a positive review, summarizing that "if you're not into watching tiger cubs wrestling and chasing monkeys up trees, you're probably a serial killer".
# Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter

Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter is a 2024 book written by Kate Conger and Ryan Mac. It covers the controversial takeover of Twitter by Elon Musk. Character Limit was published on September 17, 2024, by Penguin Press.

## Premise

Character Limit chronicles the rise and fall of Twitter after Elon Musk's tumultuous $44-billion-dollar acquisition. The book showcases Musk's volatility, highlighting the actions that led to the company's drastic devaluation and the resurgence of unmoderated hate-speech, misinformation, and white nationalism on the platform.
Conger and Mac detail the night Musk's Twitter acquisition was formalized in at Twitter's headquarters in San Francisco. Twitter's San Francisco headquarters are two different buildings: a large building and a small building behind it which are connected via a bridge. On the night of October 26, 2022, there were "two separate worlds playing out on either side of the bridge" with Musk signing the acquisition documents with executives in the smaller building while Twitter employees in the larger building were crying at potentially losing their job. Another detail in the book is how Musk had cut Twitter's janitorial staff, forcing Twitter employees to bring their own toilet paper to work.

## Reception

Prior to its release, Character Limit was listed as one of Literary Hub's most anticipated books of 2024.
Kirkus Reviews praised the book as an "engrossing, precise account of Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter (now X). A compelling fusion of business history and worrisome social narrative".
James Ball of The Guardian, in a positive review, wrote that Conger and Mac have the "astonishing ability to take the reader into almost every room that mattered during the contentious $44bn acquisition".
Zack Ruskin of The Washington Post called Character Limit "riveting" and writes the book "offers a treasure trove of answers regarding Elon Musk's somewhat shadowy acquisition of the company, both in terms of the financials and his motivation." Ruskin said the book serves as a "telling lesson in the cost of getting everything you want".
# Israel–Mauritania relations

Israel and Mauritania relations refers to the historic and current bilateral relationship between Israel and Mauritania. Mauritania declared war on Israel as part of the Six Day War. In 1999, Mauritania became the third member of the Arab League—after Egypt and Jordan—to recognize Israel as a sovereign state. However, after the Gaza War, Mauritania severed all relations by March 2010.

## History
### State of war

Mauritania declared war on Israel during the Six-Day War in 1967, following the Arab League's collective decision (Mauritania was not admitted to the Arab League until November 1973), and did not reverse that declaration until 1991.
Little public information exists as to the state of war. For some 32 years until about early 1999, Israelis were seemingly oblivious to the ongoing state of war.
Ties warmed by the mid-1990s, including behind the scenes meetings between Mauritania and Israel in 1995 and 1996 said to be at the instigation of Mauritania's President Maaouya Ould Sid'Ahmed Taya and the establishment of unofficial "interest sections" in the respective Spanish embassies in 1996 in the two capital cities.

### Establishment of ties

On 28 October 1999, Mauritania became the third member of the Arab League to recognize Israel as a sovereign state, after Egypt and Jordan. The two countries established full diplomatic relations in October 1999. This official recognition was given by former President Maaouya Ould Sid'Ahmed Taya along with his cooperation with United States anti-terrorism activities. The establishment of full diplomatic relations was signed in Washington D.C on October 28, 1999.
After the coup by the Military Council for Justice and Democracy in August 2005 that ousted President Maaouya Ould Sid'Ahmed Taya, recognition of Israel was maintained.

### Suspension

As a response to the Gaza War, relations were frozen with Israel in January 2009. In February 2009, Mauritania recalled its ambassador from Israel, and on 6 March 2009 staff were evicted from the Israeli embassy in Nouakchott, and given 48 hours to leave Mauritania. According to an announcement by the Israeli Foreign Affairs Ministry, Israel officially closed the embassy later in the day, and by 21 March 2010 all diplomatic relations between the two states had officially come to an end.
Following the Israel–United Arab Emirates peace agreement in August 2020, Mauritania's Foreign Ministry said that his country trusted the "wisdom and good judgement" of the United Arab Emirates leadership for signing an Accord with Israel to agree to normalize relations, and that "the UAE possesses absolute sovereignty and complete independence in conducting its relations and assessing the positions it takes in accordance with its national interest and the interests of Arabs." However, in March 2023, the Mauritanian government denied that there were any discussions to normalize relations with Israel.

# 2006 Iranian local elections

The Iranian City and Village Councils election of 2006 took place on December 15, 2006. People elected representatives for City and Village Councils, who in their turn elected the mayors.
The elections happened on the same day as the election for the Assembly of Experts.

## Candidates

Every city and village in the country elected representatives. Iran's 46.5 million eligible voters elected about 233,000 candidates for more than 113,000 city and rural council posts.

## Results

According The Financial Times, partial results about cities other than Tehran indicated:
* In Isfahan, Ahmadinejad's supporters won 3 out of 11 seats
* In Tabriz, Ahmadinejad's supporters won 4 out of 16 seats
* In Qom, Ahmadinejad's supporters won 3 out of 9 seats
* In Shiraz, Ahmadinejad's supporters won 1 out of 11 seats
* In Ardabil, Ahmadinejad's supporters won 1 out of 9 seats
Safdar Hosseini, the provincial campaign coordinator for the Reformists Coalition, claimed that the reformists had won most of the 1,524 seats for municipal councils in 265 cities and that most of the independents have "reformist leanings". According to him, the results were as follows:
| Conservatives | Conservatives | Reformists | Independents | Ref |
| PSS | Others | Reformists | Independents | Ref |
| 52 / 1,524 | 438 / 1,524 | 605 / 1,524 | 429 / 1,524 | |
The results in provincial capitals were reported by Iranian media as follows:
| Conservatives | Conservatives | Reformists | Independents | Ref |
| PSS | Others | Reformists | Independents | Ref |
| 40 / 257 | 115 / 257 | 43 / 257 | 59 / 257 | |
| | 188 / 233 | 41 / 233 | 5 / 233 | |
| 40 / 267 | 152 / 267 | 75 / 267 | — | |

### Controversy about the results

The reformist candidates protested Ministry of Interior delays in announcing provisional results, and its failure to announce provisional results for two days after the end of the election. This contravened normal practice, where results were announced gradually as vote counting was under way. The candidates also claimed fraud in counting the votes, mentioning lost vote boxes and newly found boxes that reported zero votes for the reformist candidates.

# Cactus fence

A cactus fence is a hedge or fence made of closely spaced cactus plants, sometimes with barbed wire or wood interwoven with the cacti.

## Purpose

Such fences are inexpensive to develop in regions where cacti are common, and can provide an extreme deterrent to any but a determined human intruder. Often their primary function is to keep wandering large animals off a private property.

## Design

Sometimes, cacti are used as barriers without being formed into a structured fence. Prickly pears (mostly Opuntia stricta) were imported into Australia in the 19th century for use as a natural agricultural fence and to establish a cochineal dye industry, but quickly became a widespread weed.
Closely spaced columnar cacti such as Trichocereus or Mexican fencepost cactus can be used for more structured, space-saving fences.
In the American southwest, ocotillo stems are often set in the ground to form a structure similar to a cactus fence.
