Neutron capture

**Neutron capture** is a type of nuclear reaction. In this reaction, a nucleus gets hit by a neutron, and the two combine into a larger nucleus. Neutron capture is one of the most important basic nuclear reaction types.

Because the number of protons stay the same, neutron capture makes a heavier isotope of the same element. This isotope can be more or less stable, and goes through different kinds of radioactive decay. Through this, neutron capture is often the first step of nuclear transmutation.

## Example

Uranium-238 is a fertile isotope of uranium. This means it cannot be used as fuel for a thermal-neutron reactor, but it is possible for it to be transmuted into a fissile isotope that can. This reaction starts with neutron capture, changing the  into .
This isotope then goes through beta decay twice to become the fissile plutonium-239.

Birria

**Birria** is a regional variation of barbacoa from western Mexico, mainly made with goat, beef or lamb. The meat is marinated in an adobo made of vinegar, dried chiles, garlic, and herbs and spices (including cumin, bay leaves, and thyme) before being cooked in a broth (Spanish: **consomé**). Originally, birria was the regional name given in the state of Jalisco and surrounding areas to meats cooked or roasted in a pit or earth oven, what is known as barbacoa in other regions of Mexico, but for many people today, mostly in the United States, birria is now a distinct dish.

It is often served at celebratory occasions such as weddings, baptisms and during holidays such as Christmas and Easter, and even at funerals. Preparation techniques vary, but the dish is often served with corn tortillas, onions, cilantro, and lime. Birria is also served with tacos.

Restaurants or street carts that serve birria are known as birrierías and exist throughout Mexico, especially in Michoacán and Jalisco. However, neighboring Mexican states have their own variations of the dish, including Aguascalientes, Zacatecas, and Colima.

Al pastor

**Al pastor** (from Spanish, **"herdsman style"**), **tacos al pastor**, or **tacos de trompo** is a preparation of spit-grilled slices of meat, usually pork originating in the Central Mexican region of Puebla and Mexico City, where they remain most prominent; today, though, it is a common menu item found in taquerías throughout Mexico. The method of preparing and cooking al pastor is based on the lamb shawarma brought by Lebanese immigrants to the region. Al pastor features a flavor palate that uses traditional Mexican adobada (marinade). It is a popular street food that has spread to the United States. In some places of northern Mexico and coastal Mexico, such as in Baja California, taco al pastor is known as taco de trompo or taco de adobada.

Gumbo

**Gumbo** (Louisiana Creole: **Gum-bo**) is a stew that is popular among the U.S. Gulf Coast community, the New Orleans stew variation being the official state cuisine of the U.S. state of Louisiana. Gumbo consists primarily of a strongly flavored stock, meat or shellfish (or sometimes both), a thickener, and the Creole "holy trinity": celery, bell peppers, and onions. Gumbo is often categorized by the type of thickener used, whether okra or filé powder (dried and ground sassafras leaves). Gumbo can be made with or without okra or filé powder.

The preferred method in the historical New Orleans variation is with a French dark, even chocolate-like, roux. The flavor of the dish has its origins in many cultures. Creole gumbo generally contains shellfish and a dark roux, filé, or both. Cajun gumbo is generally based on a dark roux and is made with shellfish or fowl. Sausage or ham is often added to gumbos of either variety. After the base is prepared, vegetables are cooked down, and then meat is added. The dish simmers for a minimum of three hours, with shellfish and some spices added near the end. If desired, filé powder is added after the pot is removed from heat. Gumbo is traditionally served with rice. A third, lesser-known variety, the meatless gumbo z'herbes, is essentially a gumbo of slow-cooked greens.

The dish combines ingredients and culinary practices of several cultures, including West African, French, German, Spanish, and Native American Choctaw. Gumbo may have been partially based on the French dish bouillabaisse, West African okra stew or Choctaw stew. Most likely all of these dishes contributed to the original recipe. It was first described in 1802, and was listed in various cookbooks in the latter half of the 19th century. The dish gained more widespread popularity in the 1970s, after the United States Senate dining room added it to the menu in honor of Louisiana Senator Allen Ellender. The popularity of chef Paul Prudhomme in the 1980s spurred further interest in the dish.

Cobbler (food)

**Cobbler** is a dessert consisting of a fruit (or less commonly savory) filling poured into a large baking dish and covered with a batter, biscuit, or dumpling (in the United Kingdom) before being baked. Cobbler is part of the cuisine of the United Kingdom and United States, and is similar to a crumble or a crisp. However, traditional cobbler differs from both of these by the presence of a leavening agent such as baking powder or baking soda. Cobblers made in this way can be viewed as a hybrid of pie and cake. Some cobbler recipes, especially in the American South, resemble a thick-crusted, deep-dish pie with both a top and bottom crust that lack leavening and are less cake-like.

Viriathus

**Viriathus** (also spelled **Viriato**) was a leader of the Lusitanians, an ancient people from the western part of the Iberian Peninsula, which is now Portugal and western Spain. He is remembered for leading his people in resisting Roman rule during the Lusitanian War from 147 BC to 139 BC.

## Early life

Viriathus was born in Lusitania and started his life as a shepherd. His rise to leadership began when he became a warrior and later the chief of the Lusitanians.

## Resistance against Rome

During the Lusitanian War, Viriathus led his people in several battles against the Roman army. He was known for his clever tactics and ability to unite different tribes against a common enemy. His leadership was instrumental in the Lusitanians' resistance efforts.

## Betrayal and death

In 139 BC, after years of successful resistance, Viriathus was betrayed by his own men. Three of his envoys, Audax, Ditalcus, and Minurus, were bribed by the Romans to assassinate him. They killed Viriathus while he was sleeping, ending his leadership and the organized resistance against Rome.

## Legacy

Despite his death, Viriathus became a symbol of resistance and national pride for the Lusitanians and later for the Portuguese people. Monuments and statues have been erected in his honor, such as the Monument to Viriathus in Zamora, Spain, and in Viseu, Portugal.

2025 D.C. Jewish museum shooting

At 9:08 p.m. EDT on May 21, 2025, a man reportedly opened fire at the Lillian & Albert Small Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., where a Jewish event was held. Two persons named Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky were killed.

The suspect reportedly shot Milgrim and Lischinsky 21 times at point-blank until his gun jammed or ran out of bullets. Several media critics called the shooting antisemitic, while the FBI said on May 23 that the shooting was an act of targeted antisemitism.

### Sarah Milgrim

Sarah Milgrim was an American Jew. The victims had worked for the D.C. Israeli embassy. They reportedly belonged to groups advocating for peace between Israel and Palestine. Milgrim was hired by the Israeli embassy in late 2023.

### Yaron Lischinsky

Yaron Lischinsky moved from Germany to Israel at 16 years old before starting his job at the D.C. Israeli embassy. The event attended by them was held by the American Jewish Committee, aimed at discussing "how multi-faith organizations can work together to bring humanitarian aid to war-torn regions like Gaza".

## Suspect

The suspect Elias Rodriguez has been charged with murder. There are claims that he belonged to the Marxist–Leninist party Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) and joined their events between 2017 and 2018, and made posts on Twitter consisting of the phrases "zionazi", "Death To Israel" and sharing videos of the former Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. The posts were made in the months following the October 7 attack – seen by some scholars as the worst crime against Jews since the end of the Holocaust. The PSL said that Rodriguez "had a brief association with one branch of the PSL that ended in 2017".

## Aftermath

42 Jewish organizations requested the U.S. government to address antisemitism in the country. Their request includes:

- Prosecution of antisemitic hate crimes and extremist violence
- Expansion of FBI intelligence operations and counter-domestic terrorism operations
- Funding increase for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program to $1 billion from its current level of $274.5 million
