Etymology
The name "Modi'in" derives frae the veelage "Modi'im" o the heich priest Mattathias an his five sons, which wis locatit in the same aurie as the modren ceety. The name "Maccabim" is Ebreu for the Maccabees, an is a common nickname gien tae Judah Maccabee an his five sons.

It is a modren planned ceety wi heich staundarts o urban plannin. Environmental issues an future growth wur taken intae consideration frae the early design stages. Lairge greenspaces wur incorporatit intae the ceety's layoot an comprise 50% o the aurie athin the ceety leemits. The lang term projection o the meenistry o hoosin is for the ceety tae be hame tae 240,000 residents, thus becomin ane o the lairgest localities in Israel.

Some in those ceeties see Modi'in's rapid growth as a threat tae the wellbeing o thair ceeties, wi some even suggestin that the ceety's vera establishment wis a mistake. This led tae a decision in 2008 tae put a cap on Modi'in's growth, allouin it in the short term tae expand anerlie tae a population o 120,000, rather than the oreeginal plans for 240,000, in order tae better conditions in Lod-Ramla 12 kilometers tae the wast. These plans housomeivver hae been contestit bi the ceety's govrenment, which haes plans tae turn Modi'in intae ane o the naition's lairgest ceeties.

Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo
Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo (born 5 Juin 1942) is the Preses o Equatorial Guinea, haein served syne 1979.
Early life
Born intae the Esangui clan in Acoacán, Obiang jynt the military durin the colonial period, an attendit the Military Academy in Zaragoza, Spain. He achieved the rank o lieutenant upon the election o Francisco Macías Nguema. Unner Macías, Obiang held various jobs, includin governor o Bioko, heid o the Black Beach Prison, an leader o the Naitional Guard.
Presidency
He deposed Francisco Macías on 3 August 1979 in a bloody coup d'état. Macías wis placed on trial for his activities ower the previous decade an sentenced tae daith. His activities heid includit the genocide o the Bubi. He wis executit on 29 September 1979 bi firin squad.
Obiang declared that the new government wad mak a fresh stairt frae the repressive measures taken bi Macías' admeenistration. He inheritit a kintra wi an empty treasury an a population that haed dropt tae a third o its 1968 level, wi aboot 50% o the umwhile 1.2 million indwallers haein moved aither tae Spain or tae neighborin African kintras, or bein murthert durin the dictatorship o Obiang's predecessor. He formally assumed the presidency in October 1979.
A new constitution wis adoptit in 1982; at the same time, Obiang wis electit tae a seiven-year term as preses. He wis reelectit in 1989 as the ae candidate. Efter ither pairties wur permittit tae organize, he wis reelectit in 1996 an 2002 wi 98 per cent o the vote in elections condemned as fraudulent bi internaitional observers. Again in 2009 he wis electit wi 97% o the vote amid accusations o fraud an intimidation.
Obiang's regime retained clear authoritarian characteristics even efter ither pairties wur legalized in 1991. Maist domestic an interniational observers consider his regime tae be ane o the maist corrupt, ethnocentric, oppressive an undemocratic states in the warld. Equatorial Guinea is nou essentially a single-pairty state, dominatit bi Obiang's Democratic Pairty o Equatorial Guinea (PDGE). In 2008 American jurnalist Peter Maass cawed Obiang Africae's worst dictator, waur nor Robert Mugabe o Zimbabwe. The constitution grants Obiang wide pouers, includin the pouer tae rule bi decree. Nanetheless, Obiang haes far less pouer than Macías, an for the maist pairt his rule haes been considerably milder. Notably, thare hae been nane o the atrocities that characterized the Macías era.Questioned Abuses unner Obiang hae includit "unlawful killins bi security forces; government-sanctioned kidnappings; seestematic torture o prisoners ad detainees bi security forces; life threatenin conditions in prisons an detention facilities; impunity; arbitrary arrest, detention, an incommunicado detention."
Aw but ane member o the 100-seat naitional parliament belang tae the PDGE or are aligned wi it. The opposition is severely hampered bi the lack o a free press as a vehicle for thair views. Aroond 90% o aw opposition politeecians live in exile, 550 anti-Obiang activists hae been jailed unfairly, an several killed syne 1979.
In Julie 2003, state-operatit radio declared Obiang tae be a god who is "in permanent contact wi the Almighty" an "can decide tae kill athoot onyane cawin him tae accoont an athoot goin tae hell." He personally made seemilar comments in 1993. Despite thir comments, he still claims that he is a devout Catholic an wis invitit tae the Vatican bi John Paul II an again bi Benedict XVI. Macías haed an aa proclaimed himsel a god.
Obiang haes encouraged his cult o personality bi ensuring that public speeches end in well-wishin for himsel rather than for the republic. Mony important buildings hae a presidential lodge, mony touns an ceeties hae streets commemoratin Obiang's coup against Macías as well as thare bein a penchant amang the population tae wear claes wi his face printit on them.
Lik his predecessor an ither African dictators sic as Idi Amin an Mobutu Sese Seko, Obiang haes assigned tae himsel several creative titles. Amang them are "gentleman o the great island o Bioko, Annobón an Río Muni." He an aa refers tae hissel as El Jefe (the boss).
In seemilar fashion tae Idi Amin, Obiang haes purportedly alloued rumors that he is a cannibal tae circulate. Fictional rumors on cannibalism haed been uised for centuries amang the Fang fowk o Central an Wast Africae tae mak opponents fear them, o which Obiang is a descendant. Mony testimonies o umwhile residents o Equatorial Guinea, afore an durin the civil unrest, indicate that cannibalism haed been applee'd as a tuil o psychological warfare.
Forbes magazine haes said that he is ane o the wealthiest heids o state, wi a net worth o 600 million dollars. Offeecial soorces hae complained that Forbes is wrongly coontin state property as personal property. }
In 2003, Obiang told his citizenry that he felt compelled tae tak full control o the naitional treasury in order tae prevent civil servants frae bein temptit tae engage in corrupt practices. Tae avoid this corruption, Obiang deposited mair nor hauf a billion dollars intae accoonts controlled bi Obiang an his faimily at Riggs Bank in Washington, D.C., leadin a U.S. federal court tae fine the bank $16 million.
Finances
Obiang haed a close relationship wi Washington DC-based Riggs Bank. He is said tae hae been welcomed bi tap Riggs officials, who held a luncheon in his honour. (Publicity regarding this relationship wad later contribute tae the downfall o Riggs. )
His son awns property throu his "Sweetwater Malibu LLC" at 3620 Sweetwater Road, Malibu, CA. This property haes the hichtest assessed property value in Malibu.
An airticle published in Forbes magazine suggestit Obiang haes gathered roughly $700m o the kintra's wealth in US bank accoonts.

Pichilemo de Empedrado wis property o Emperatriz del Carmen Lara Retamal an Ramón Bravo Azócar (who dee'd in 1987 due tae cancer).
Maracaibo
Etymologie
The name Maracaibo is said tae come frae the brave Cacique (Indian Chief) Mara, a young native who valiantly resistit the Spaniards an dee'd fechtin thaim. It is said that when Mara fell, the Indians shoutit "Mara cayo!" (Mara fell!), thus oreeginatin the ceety name. Ither historians say that the first name o this laund in Indian leid wis "Maara-iwo" meanin "Place whaur serpents aboond".
Foondation
The first indigenous dounsets wur o Arawak an Carib oreegin. Aroond the main group wur the Añu tribe who biggit rows of stilt hooses aw ower the northren riviera o the Loch Maracaibo. The first Europeans arrivit in 1499.
The ceety wis foondit three times: the first time wis durin the Klein-Venedig period (1528–1546), when the Welser bankin faimily receivit a concession ower Venezuela Province frae Charles I o Spain. In August 1529 the German Ambrosius Ehinger made his first expedeetion tae Loch Maracaibo which wis bitterly opponit bi the indigenous fowk, the Coquibacoa. Efter winnin a series o bloody battles, he foondit the dounset on 8 September 1529. Ehinger namit the dounset New Nuremberg (Neu-Nürnberg) an the loch efter the valiant chieftain Mara o the Coquibacoa, who haed dee'd in the fechtin. The ceety wis renamit Maracaibo efter the Spaingie teuk possession. The lack o activity in the zone made Nikolaus Federmann evacuate the veelage in 1535 an muivit its population tae Cabo de la Vela near the then caipital o Venezuela Province, Santa Ana de Coro.
A seicont attempt bi Captain Alonso Pacheco turned intae failur. The third foondation o the ceety occurs in 1574 when Caiptain Pedro Maldonado, unner Govrenor Diego de Mazariegos' command, establishes the veelage wi the name of Nueva Zamora de Maracaibo. "Nueva Zamora" comes frae Mazariego's place o birth, Zamora, in Spain. Syne its definite foondation, the toun began tae develop as a whole. It is based on the wastren side o Loch Maracaibo, the dominant featur o the ile-rich Maracaibo Basin. Favoured bi prevailin winds an a protectit harbour, the ceety is locatit on the shores o the loch whaur the narraes, which eventually lead tae the Guwf o Venezuela, first acome pronooncit.
Pirates' attacks
In 1667, François l'Olonnais wi a fleet o aicht ships an a crew o sax hunder pirates sackit Maracaibo an Gibraltar. En route, l'Olonnais crossed paths wi a Spaingie treasur ship, which he captured, alang wi its rich cargo o cacao, gemstanes an mair nor 260,000 pieces o aicht.
Kayan, Armenie
Kayan (Կայան) is a veelage in the Tavush Province o Armenie. It belangs tae the commonty o Aygehovit.
Maracaibo
Independencia era
In 1810 the province o Maracaibo did no join the first republic o Venezuela an remained lyal tae the Spaingie croun. Maracaibo then held the seat o the Captaincy General of Venezuela. In 1821 uprisins in favour o unthirldom began conductin tae warfare an hostility. The ryalists, led bi Francisco Tomás Morales, focht wi the patriots, led bi Rafael Urdaneta, tae tak back control ower the province in the Juana de Ávila Battle an Morales brocht back Spaingie rule in 1822 till he wis defeatit at the Battle o Loch Maracaibo on 24 Julie 1823 culminatin Venezuela's struggle for unthirldom.
Isolation period
For aboot 390 years, Maracaibo remained isolatit an separatit frae the rest o the kintra. Transportation wis anerly possible athort the loch bi ferry or ither marine transport.
Caurs, buses, an lorries, wi thair constant flow o manufactured guids an agricultural product, dependit on the ferry seestem atween the ceety an the eastren shore wi thair roads tae connect tae the kintra's motorwa seestem. Maracaibo an the Loch Maracaibo region's economy wis mair linkit tae Colombie than tae eastren Venezuela due tae the naitural route available throu Loch Maracaibo then leadin tae the sea.
This isolation wis baith a challenge an an advantage. The vera natur o the ceety's location made for a population kent for thair unthirlt thocht an character. The history o this region is rife wi stories aboot the creation o a unthirlt an sovereign naition apairt frae Venezuela, a naition cried La República Independiente del Zulia, which means The Unthirlt Republic o Zulia, but this haes niver come tae be.
Biggin o the brig
The dictatorial regime o General Marcos Pérez Jiménez in the 1950s set as a goal the construction o a brig connectin the twa loch shores. Various brig projects for the spannin o the Loch Maracaibo narraes near the ceety wur in the wirks. The general's govrenment haed decidit that this "ceety o unthirlt thocht" shoud be mair "connectit" tae the rest o the kintra.
The biggin o "El Puente Sobre El Lago de Maracaibo "General Rafael Urdaneta"—(General Rafael Urdaneta Brig ower Loch Maracaibo) namit efter the distinguished General hero o the War o Unthirldom wis opened tae public traffec in 1962. The project wis completit on schedule in 40 month.
This brig construction project wis a remarkable feat. Built unner vera difficult condeetions, when completit, it became the langest prestressed concrete brig in the warld. The structur is in constant uise an remains the day as the maist important link atween Maracaibo, alang wi hintle o the state o Zulia, an the rest o Venezuela.
Modren times
Maracaibo haes acome a lairge metropolitan ceety, comprisin twa municipalities: tae the north the municipality o Maracaibo an tae the sooth the San Francisco municipality (established in 1995). In recent years, due tae poleetical/economic an cultural raisons, mony hae muivit tae Maracaibo frae landwart auries an ither ceeties (includin Caracas).
In the poleetical arena, the ceetizens o Maracaibo (an maist ither ceeties an municipalities in Zulia state) hae in recent years votit for a competitive poleetical seestem in whaur the govrenor is frae a certain poleetical pairty an the mayor or mayors are frae the opposite poleetical pairty. This seestem haes brocht mony good things tae the ceety an the state; for example, if the govrenor builds a brig, ane o the mayors will big twa, if a mayor cleans a public pairk, the govrenor retaliates bi cleanin an remodellin anither ane.
