The current president is Nicolás Maduro who has been in power since 19 April 2013 following his victory on the 2013 Venezuelan presidential election five days earlier, narrowly defeating his rival Henrique Capriles by 1.5%. Previously, Maduro was the acting president from the death of Hugo Chávez on 5 March 2013 until his inauguration. Maduro was also the Vice President from 2012 to 2013 before assuming the presidency. In May 2018, Maduro won the Presidential election. However, the election was considered unfair and controversies about the election result grew. Many people demanded Maduro to leave office once his first presidential term ends on 10 January 2019. However, Maduro illegally swore himself in early that day. This made the opposition parties angry at Maduro and thus, the opposition leader Juan Guaidó, who was the President of the National Assembly of Venezuela swore himself in declaring himself Interim President. Immediately, many foreign governments (mainly that of the United States, Canada, and the European Union) and NATO recognized Guaidó's interim government and no longer recognized Maduro as the legitimate president, thus beginning the Venezuelan presidential crisis. Guaidó promised to form a transitional government and hold fair elections and put an end to Maduro's government. However, none of the promises Guaidó and his interim government made came true and by 2022, Guaidó became increasingly unpopular and started to lose support. On 30 December 2022, three of the four main opposition parties voted to dissolve Guaidó's interim government. Eventually on 5 January 2023, Guaidó relinquished his claim to the presidency and officially dissolved his interim government, thus ending the presidential crisis. Many foreign governments who recognized Guaidó's interim government switched back to recognizing Maduro's government and once again recognized Maduro as the legitimate president of Venezuela.

Harmonious, sentimental and melancholy, many romantic songs of purple music have become regarded as national treasures and are still performed widely. History. Songs of Purple Music carry with them an air of nostalgia, perhaps nostalgia for an era when Vietnam was still unified, the era preceding nearly 20 years of civil war. After 1954, the country was split into two very different regimes, the communist Socialist Republic of Vietnam or North Vietnam, and the Republic of Vietnam or South Vietnam. At that time, some purple music composers went South, while others remained in the North. Most of the Northerners either ceased composing or followed the dictates of the regime for writing songs to mobilize the masses and strengthen the revolution. Southerners continued to write romantic songs. Since the North's victory resulting in Vietnam's reunification in 1975, the country's culture has continued to be divided between resident and overseas communities. As nearly all music and literature of a romantic or sentimental basis was banned by the communist regime, many of Vietnam's creative minds left the country in 1975 for Western countries like the United States, Australia, and France. Although differences between these two communities continue until this time, purple music is one of the few popular song genres that can be heard on the stage of both Vietnam and among the overseas community. Although Vietnamese music this period has gone through many movements : Patriotic songs, scout songs, happy songs, folk songs... the longest lasting movement is still love song movement. That is the music movement with greatest composers like Văn Cao, Phạm Duy, Lê Thương... and with ever-lasting love songs like. Amongst the best-known ones are "I Come to See You One Rainy Afternoon" (Em đến thăm anh một chiều mưa) by Tô Vũ ; "Send the Wind to Blow Away the Clouds" (Gửi gió cho

Nipah virus disease is a disease caused by the nipah (NiV) virus. This virus belongs to the "Paramyxoviridae" family and causes severe disease in humans. Half of all patients die. The virus is spread by fruit-eating bats.  Symptoms. Symptoms of Nipah virus disease start to appear within 3-14 days of infection. When people first get this disease, it looks like some other diseases. People get fever, headache, and throat pain, and they feel very tired. They have difficulty breathing. Later, they get much sicker. They feel dizzy and might become unconscious.  There have been 582 known cases of Nipah virus infection in humans. About half of these patients died.  Transmission. Fruit-eating bats can carry Nipah virus. Humans can get Nipah virus when they come in contact with items that are contaminated by infected bats' excreta. In Bangladesh, people were got Nipah virus when they drank date palm toddy which was contaminated by bats.  Infected bats can also spread Nipah virus to other animals, such as pigs. In Malaysia and Singapore, people got Nipah virus from pigs that had come into contact with infected bats.  Nipah virus can transmit from people to people also. It spreads through body fluids such as saliva, blood, and urine. For this reason, the caretakers of infected people are at an especially high risk of getting Nipah virus. The virus is not known to transmit through air.  Detection. Nipah virus can be detected from throat swabs, cerebrospinal fluid (fluid taken by puncturing the spine, called a lumbar puncture), and blood tests. Scientists detect Nipah virus by finding copies of viral genome in the test sample.  After death, Nipah virus can also be identified by examining body tissues in an autopsy. Treatment. There is no cure for Nipah virus infection. Ribavirin, a drug that fights some viruses, is possibly effective, but its effectiveness has not been well proven yet. Therefore, the usual treatment is to give supportive care, such as giving medicines to
