L'Impromptu de la garnison de Namur
L'Impromptu de la garnison de Namur is a Belgian comedy play. It was first published in 1692.

It was anonymously composed in the Spanish Netherlands, after the surrender of Namur to French troops in June 1692. It was reviewed by Florent Carton Dancourt, and played at the Comédie-Française on 26 July 1692, under the name L'Impromptu garnison.

Siege of Namur (1692)
The siege of Namur, 25 May–30 June 1692, was a major engagement of the Nine Years' War, and was part of the French grand plan (devised over the winter of 1691–92) to defeat the forces of the Grand Alliance and bring a swift conclusion to the war. Namur, sitting on the confluence of the Meuse and Sambre rivers, was a considerable fortress, and was a significant political and military asset. French forces, guided by Vauban, forced the town's surrender on 5 June, but the citadel, staunchly defended by Menno van Coehoorn, managed to hold on until 30 June before capitulating, bringing an end to the 36-day siege. Concerned that King William III planned to recapture the stronghold, King Louis XIV subsequently ordered his commander-in-chief, the duc de Luxembourg, to join battle with the Allies in the field, resulting in the bloody Battle of Steenkerque on 3 August.
Karl Krüger
Karl Krüger (born 1874, believed killed 1939 or later) was a former German naval engineer who provided intelligence about German ships to the British during World War I and World War II. His identification code was TR/016. Krüger was a particularly valuable source on German losses from the Battle of Jutland, and on the development of U-boats. In approximately 1939, he was betrayed by a German agent within MI6; he failed to show for a meeting in August of that year, and it is presumed he was executed by the Nazis. His British contacts initially believed he was a Dutchman. He was connected to the British through the embassy at The Hague; he may have been identified to the Germans by an embassy employee named Folkert van Koutrik, who "was on the Abwehr's payroll."

Folkert van Koutrik
Folkert Arie van Koutrik (5 August 1912 – 14 November 1988) was a Dutch national who spied on British operations via their embassy at The Hague on behalf of Abwehr, the German military intelligence agency. van Koutrik infiltrated MI5 and S.I.S. before he was discovered. His code name was Walbach.

He was born in Rotterdam to Arie van Koutrik and Hendrika Laurentia Veenendaal. He died in 1988.

Lamborghini Militaria
The Lamborghini Militaria (Lamborghini LM series; the Rambo Lambos) were a series of off-road utility trucks produced by automotive manufacturer Lamborghini. It was started as an attempt at the military light utility truck market (the "jeep" market segment). The vehicles in the series are greatly reminiscent of the FMC XR311, and is in turn reminiscent of the Humvee (U.S. Army HMMWV). The series expanded into the luxury sport utility market, and its primary production run was the Lamborghini LM002, which sold over 300 units. It is considered the pioneer of the luxury sport utility market, all other comparable vehicles being utility rather than luxury. This chassis family existed from 1977 through 1993.

Reciprocal polynomial
In algebra, given a polynomial

with coefficients from an arbitrary field, its reciprocal polynomial or reflected polynomial, denoted by p∗ or pR, is the polynomial

That is, the coefficients of p∗ are the coefficients of p in reverse order. Reciprocal polynomials arise naturally in linear algebra as the characteristic polynomial of the inverse of a matrix.

In the special case where the field is the complex numbers, when

the conjugate reciprocal polynomial, denoted p†, is defined by,

where  denotes the complex conjugate of , and is also called the reciprocal polynomial when no confusion can arise.

A polynomial p is called self-reciprocal or palindromic if p(x) = p∗(x).
The coefficients of a self-reciprocal polynomial satisfy ai = an−i for all i.

Characteristic (algebra)
In mathematics, the characteristic of a ring R, often denoted char(R), is defined to be the smallest positive number of copies of the ring's multiplicative identity (1) that will sum to the additive identity (0). If no such number exists, the ring is said to have characteristic zero.

That is, char(R) is the smallest positive number n such that:(p 198, Thm. 23.14)

if such a number n exists, and 0 otherwise.
Togo at the 2024 Summer Olympics
Togo competed at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris from 26 July to 11 August 2024. Since the nation made its debut in 1972, Togolese athletes participated in every edition of the Summer Olympic Games, except for two occasions, the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, and the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow because of the African and the US-led boycotts, respectively.

1980 Summer Olympics boycott
The United States led the 1980 Summer Olympics boycott to protest against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. More than 60 countries joined the boycott to varying degrees, affecting athletes, fans, and international relations. The absence of so many competitors changed the outcomes of some events, led to alternative competitions, and influenced the 1984 Olympics, which the Soviets later boycotted. The Soviet Union, which hosted the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, and its satellite states later boycotted the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
