Xallarap is a variation in a gravitational lensing observation caused by the orbital motion of the source.  A more traditional and similar effect, parallax, is the variation caused by motion of the Earth around the Sun.  Since the two effects are converses of each other, this led to the name xallarap, which is parallax spelled backwards.  A survey of microlensing attributes the first use in print to Bennett in 1998, though informal usage likely preceded this.

Gravitational lensing occurs when a distant object and a massive intermediate object form a straight line as seen from Earth.  Then the gravitational field of the intermediate object bends the light from distant object, magnifying it.  When the two objects are stars, as opposed to galaxies, it is called gravitational microlensing.  The alignment must be very precise, in fact so precise that Albert Einstein concluded "there is no great chance of observing this phenomenon".  However, modern surveys such as the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) observe millions of stars each night, and see microlensing many times each year.

Since the alignment must be so precise, if the event lasts more than a few weeks, scientists can observe changes as the Earth moves around the Sun, since this movement changes the alignment.  Traditionally in astronomy, a change in view caused by the Earth's motion is called parallax, and this is the term used by researchers for this effect.  However, if the source star is part of a binary system, then it too has orbital motion, and this can modify the alignment just as the Earth's movement can.  Since both effects are caused by the effect of orbital motion on alignment, they are very closely related.  And since the effect is the same as parallax, just backwards (from the motion of the source rather than motion of the observer) it was called xallarap.  The name stuck, and is now commonly used in astronomical literature.

This is a list of the last known surviving veterans of the First World War (28 July 1914 – 11 November 1918) who lived to 1999 or later, along with the last known veterans for countries that participated in the war. Veterans are defined as people who were members of the armed forces of the combatant nations during the conflict, although some states use other definitions.

Florence Green, a British citizen who served in the Allied armed forces as a Royal Air Force (WRAF) service member, is generally considered to have been the last verified veteran of the war at her death on 4 February 2012, aged 110. The last combat veteran was Claude Choules, who served in the British Royal Navy (and later the Royal Australian Navy) and died 5 May 2011, aged 110. The last veteran who served in the trenches was Harry Patch (British Army), who died on 25 July 2009, aged 111. The last Central Powers veteran, Franz Künstler of Austria-Hungary, died on 27 May 2008 at the age of 107.

The total number of participating personnel is estimated by the Encyclopædia Britannica at 65,038,810. There were approximately 9,750,103 military deaths during the conflict.

Count Gregory Petrovich Shuvalov (1804-1859) was one of the Russian nobles of the second quarter of the 19th century, who changed his religion from orthodoxy to Catholicism and emigrated to Catholic Europe.

Biography

Gregory Shuvalov was the youngest son of Lieutenant-General Peter Shuvalov, a nephew of the governor-general of Moscow Alexey Shcherbatov. His initial education was in the Jesuit hostel in Saint Petersburg, since 1817 he studied in Switzerland and Italy. In 1823-1826 he served in the Hussars. Shortly after his marriage, he retired and, like the Saltykov princes, had gone with his family abroad. He lived in Italy, where he attended lectures by Giovanni La Cecilia, was engaged in literary work and wrote sonnets.

Conversion to Roman Catholicism

The death of one of his sons and his wife's illness was a serious spiritual drama, and forced him to turn to God. In Paris, he was a frequent guest at Sophie Swetchine's salon, where he met Prince Ivan Gagarin. In 1843 Shuvalov converted to Catholicism and in the mid-1850s he was a novice in the Order of Barnabites and in 1856 in Milan he became a monk as Father Augustine Mary. Shuvalov died in a Catholic convent in 1859. He wrote an autobiography: "My Conversion and My Vocation". (London, Washbourne, 1877); originally published in French: "Ma conversion et ma vocation".

Family

Since 1824, he was married to Princess Sophie Alexandrovna Saltykova (1806-1841), daughter of Alexander Saltykov. She made a lot of effort to return her husband to the Christian faith. Sophie wanted to accept Catholicism, but at the request of her husband postponed her decision. Due to her early death, she could not fulfill her desire; her husband was very sorry afterwards. Sophie Saltykova died of consumption. He had four sons:

Peter (1826-1882), member of the board of the Minister of Internal Affairs, was, like his father, a Catholic.

Grgorevich Alexander (1828-1829).

Elena (1830-1884), returned to the Orthodox Church and in her memoirs she spoke about the religious quests of her father; she married a collector of vintage music, Alexander Ya Skaryatin (1815-1884).

Jackie Robinson is a Jamaican singer, best known as the lead vocalist with The Pioneers, but who has also recorded solo material both under his own name, and under the pseudonym Harry Hippy.

Biography
Jackie Robinson became the lead singer of The Pioneers in 1967. Robinson recorded extensively with The Pioneers for the next twenty years and still performs with the group. He also recorded solo material, including the "Over & Over" single in 1968, and "Heart Made of Stone" in 1970. In the 1970s, his partner in The Pioneers, Sydney Crooks, moved into production, and worked with Dennis Brown while he was in the United Kingdom. The results of this included the album Dennis Brown Meets Harry Hippy, which was split between Brown and Robinson, Robinson taking on this pseudonym after recording a cover version of the Bobby Womack hit of the same name. He went on to work with other UK-based producers, including Clement Bushay ("Don't Leave Me This Way") and Lloyd Charmers ("Jamaican Child"). Robinson also recorded the track "Don't Do the Crime" with UB40 on their 2002 album UB40 Present the Fathers Of Reggae.

The Divine Child () is a 1992 novel by the French writer Pascal Bruckner. It tells the story of twins who are educated while still in their mother's uterus and one of them ends up refusing to be born; he struggles with his mother and with God and eventually becomes a celebrity while still unborn. The book was published in English in 1994, translated by Joachim Neugroschel.

Reception
Stewart M. Lindh wrote in Los Angeles Times, "What Pascal Bruckner, one of France's finest contemporary novelists, does in The Divine Child is to take us on a Candide-like journey into the world of neonatology". Lindh called the novel "no mere Gaelic version of Look Who's Talking, but a fierce satire of science gone wild".

Kirkus Reviews called the novel "A would-be Rabelaisian novel from French writer Bruckner (Evil Angels, 1987), who has an interesting idea -- defy death by refusing to be born -- but smothers it with gratuitously explicit sex, grotesque physical details, and old-hat intellectualism. ... One of those too-clever novels where the writer is more intent on strutting his stuff than telling a convincing tale."

Einride AB is a Swedish transport company based in Stockholm, Sweden, specializing in electric and self-driving vehicles. The electric trucks are remotely controlled by drivers, and are notable for their lack of a driver’s cab.

History

Early history and founding 
The company was founded in 2016 by Robert Falck, Filip Lilja and Linnéa Kornehed. The company manufactures electric and self-driving vehicles.  The company name is a reference to the Nordic god of thunder and lightning, Thor, and means "the lone rider". In the Spring of 2017, the company introduced their transport vehicle, an Autonomous Electric Truck (AET), formerly known as the T-pod and later as the Einride pod, an electric truck which does not contain a cabin. The first full-scale prototype of what was then called the T-Pod was revealed on July 4, 2017 at Almedalen Week in Visby, Sweden. Einride also announced a 2017 partnerships with Lidl and DB Schenker in 2018. On July 12, 2018 as part of Future Lab at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, Einride launched an autonomous and all-electric logging truck.

On November 5, 2018, Einride launched the first commercial installation of the Einride autonomous truck at a DB Schenker facility in Jönköping, Sweden.  In May 2019, an Einride vehicle started daily deliveries on a public road there; it is permitted to go at up to 5 km per hour.

2020 to present 
In June 2020, Einride introduced the freight mobility platform, a software suite that analyzes transport networks for electric or autonomous vehicle potential and provides recommendations for implementation. In October 2021, Einride finalized an agreement with General Electric (GE) Appliances for first fleet of autonomous electric trucks.

In March 2022, Einride investor Maersk ordered 300 Class 8 trucks through Einride, built by BYD in California. Later that year, the company received approval to operate its vehicles on US roads.

Technology 
Einride uses self-driving technology as well as remote operation for the Einride Autonomous Electric Truck which allows drivers to monitor multiple vehicles and remotely control the vehicle in difficult traffic situations. The Einride Autonomous Electric Truck can travel 200 km (124 miles) on a fully charged battery.

Monterotondo is a town and comune in the Metropolitan City of Rome, central Italy.

History
According to some historians, Monterotondo is the heir of the ancient Sabine town of Eretum, although the modern settlement appeared in the 10th-11th centuries in a different location. The name derives from the medieval corruption (then Mons Teres, then Monte Ritondo) of the original Mons Eretum.

In the Middle Ages, due to its location across the Via Salaria, Monterotondo was a strategic point for the defense of Rome. Initially under the Capocci family, it was sold in the 12th century to the Orsini, who held it until the 18th century. In 1432, it was seized by the condottiero Niccolò Fortebraccio, and in 1485, it was set on fire by the Orsini.

In 1634, the Barberini acquired the town, restoring or enlarging several edifices, and building the cathedral in 1639. On 28 April 1864, the Rome and Monterotondo Rail Road was opened for service.

In 1943, after the Italian armistice with the Allies, 800 German paratroopers tried unsuccessfully to reconquer it.

Main sights

The Baroque Duomo (Cathedral) Church of Madonna delle Grazie
Palazzo Orsini, including frescoes by Girolamo Siciolante, the Zuccari brothers and Perin del Vaga (attributed).
Archaeological museum, with remains from Eretum, Crustumerium and Nomentum.

Science and Technology

The European Molecular Biology Laboratory outstation in Rome is actually situated in Monterotondo. Its research is focused on Epigenetics and Neurobiology. It has become established as a basic research center of excellence and innovation in mouse genetics and functional genomics. It captures new opportunities and applications of mouse genetic manipulation. Alliances with other European academic research and clinical centers have established EMBL Rome as a hub for the international mouse research network which exploits applications of mouse genetic manipulation to biomedical problems.

Sports
Polisportiva Monterotondo Calcio was the major football club of the city. The club played in Serie D several times. However, the club started to play in Rome and was renamed Polisportiva Monterotondo Lupa in 2011 and again relocated to Maccarese, Fiumicino as Pol. Maccarese Giada in 2013. In 2014 that team was folded.

Another team of the city, Atletico Monterotondo, merged with another football club from Marino and started to play in Eccellenza Lazio in 2013 as A.S.D. Monterotondo Calcio. In 2016 the club merged with another team A.S.D. Eretum, to become A.S.D. Eretum Monterotondo.

The third team of the city, Real Monterotondo Scalo, located in the  frazione of Monterotondo. The team was promoted Serie D in 2021.
