Nuclear program of Iran
|
The nuclear program of Iran is a current scientific mission by Iran to research nuclear technology that can be used to make nuclear weapons. Iran has many research sites, two uranium mines, a research reactor, and uranium processing factories, such as three uranium enrichment plants.
Iran's nuclear program was created in the 1950s with the help of the United States and in 1970, Iran ratified the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action was adopted in 2015 by members of the Permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, which focused on Iran's nuclear program.

Bolsa Família
|
Bolsa Família (, "Family Allowance") was a social welfare program of the Government of Brazil. Bolsa Família gave financial aid to poor Brazilian families. To be able to benefit from this program, families had to make sure that their children went to school and got vaccinated.
The program tried to lower both the short-term poverty by direct cash transfers and fight long-term poverty by increasing human capital through conditional cash transfers.
It also worked to give free education to children who couldn't afford to go to school, to show the importance of education.
In 2008, "The Economist" said that Bolsa Família was an "anti-poverty scheme in Latin America [which] is winning [supporters] worldwide." The program was an important policy of former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's social programs, which many saw the reason for his re-election in 2006. Bolsa Família was the largest conditional cash transfer program in the world.
A study by the UNDP Poverty Centre found that over 80% of the Bolsa Familia benefits went to families in poverty (making under half the minimum wage per capita), making most of the benefits going to the poor.

2006 Brazilian general election
|
General elections were held in Brazil on 1 October 2006 to elect the president, National Congress and state governors, with a second round of the presidential election on 29 October as no candidate received more than 50% of the vote in the first round.
Then-President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was running for re-election against São Paulo Governor Geraldo Alckmin.
Though Lula was expected to win in the first round with a large majority, the President only won 48.7% to Alckmin's 41.6%, causing a second round of voting. Despite becoming popular because of his Bolsa Família program, Lula da Silva's popularity shrank because of the scandal "Dossiergate" which involved his party's leadership. This allowed Alckmin to increase his popularity in the polls in the weeks before the runoff. However, Lula won in a landslide in the second round with 60.83%, with Alckmin winning 39.17%, a lower vote percentage than he did in the first round.

As no presidential candidate received more than 50% in the first round of voting, a second round was held on 31 October to choose Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's replacement as President of Brazil. Lula da Silva had already served two terms after winning the elections in 2002 and being re-elected in 2006.
Candidates.
With the support of Lula, the Workers' Party (PT) nominated Dilma Rousseff, a former member and co-founder of the Democratic Labour Party. For her vice presidential running mate, Dilma chose Michel Temer, a member of the centre-right Brazilian Democratic Movement, who was President of the Chamber of Deputies.
The centre-right Brazilian Social Democracy Party (PSDB) nominated José Serra, who resigned as Governor of São Paulo to run for president. He had been the presidential nominee of his party in 2002. For his vice presidential running mate, Serra chose Indio da Costa, a conservative Federal Deputy.
Marina Silva, a Senator from the northwestern state of Acre and former Minister of the Environment under Lula, left the PT to run for president as a member of the Green Party. Silva, became popular with younger voters and won almost 20% of the vote in the first round.
Results.
In the first round, Dilma won 47% of the vote, Serra 33% and Silva 19%. Dilma went on to beat Serra in the second round, becoming the first female President of Brazil. Dilma won 56.05% of the vote against Serra's 43.95% of the vote.

Mensalão scandal
|
The Mensalão scandal (, ) was a major parliamentary scandal by Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's administration. It threatened to bring down his government in 2005.
The scandal broke on June 6, 2005 when Brazilian deputy Roberto Jefferson (Brazilian Labour Party) told the "Folha de S.Paulo" newspaper that the Workers' Party (PT) had paid a many deputies 30,000 reais (around US$12,000 at the time) a month to vote for legislation supported by the party.
The investigation then found members of the Brazilian Social Democracy Party, Democrats, Brazilian Democratic Movement Party and seven other political parties were also involved. The scandal, however, did not hurt Lula da Silva's popularity as much as he was re-elected in 2006 in a landslide victory.

Military dictatorship in Brazil
|
The military dictatorship in Brazil was created on 1 April 1964, after a coup d'état by the Brazilian Armed Forces, with support from the United States government against President João Goulart.
The Brazilian dictatorship lasted for 21 years, until 15 March 1985. The military coup was led by José de Magalhães Pinto, Adhemar de Barros, and Carlos Lacerda. They were then governors of the states of Minas Gerais, São Paulo, and Guanabara.
The coup was planned and started by commanders of the Brazilian Army. It had the support of almost all high-ranking members of the military, along with the Catholic Church and anti-communists. It was supported by the State Department of the United States through its embassy in Brasilia.
The dictatorship censored all media, and tortured and exiled dissidents (person who challenges doctrines actively). João Figueiredo became president in March 1979; in the same year he passed the Amnesty Law for political crimes committed for and against the regime.
Brazil's military government was a model for other military governments in South America and Latin America. In 2014, nearly 30 years after the regime fell, the Brazilian military recognized for the first time the torture and murder of political dissidents. In May 2018, the United States government released a memorandum, written by Henry Kissinger. It confirmed that the leadership of the Brazilian military regime was fully aware of the killing of dissidents. It is said that 434 people were either confirmed killed or went missing and 20,000 people were tortured during the military dictatorship in Brazil.
President João Figueiredo eventually pushed the country back to democracy and supported the transfer of power to civilian rule. In 1981 the Congress enacted a law on restoration of direct elections of state governors. Tancredo Neves was elected by an electoral college to replace Figueiredo in 1984.

Free Association of Austrian Amateur Football Clubs
|
The Freie Vereinigung der Amateur-Fußballvereine Österreichs (VAFÖ) (Free Association of Austrian Amateur Football Clubs) was an Austrian football association. It existed from July 1926 to October 1936. It saw itself as the governing body for all Austrian workers' sports clubs. It was made directly from the Austrian Football Association (ÖFV). They had its own selection team. The team represented Austria in international workers' sports tournaments.
History.
After the First World War, the workers' sports clubs, workers' cyclists and nature lovers came together in 1919 to form the "Association of Workers' and Soldiers' Sports Clubs" (VAS), which in 1924 was renamed the "Workers' Federation for Sports and Physical Culture in Austria" (ASKÖ). Only the workers' footballers remained in the non-partisan Austrian Football Association (ÖFV) until 1926. From 1921 onward there were two interest groups within the ÖFV, the social-democratic “Free Association” and the bourgeois “Protection Association”.<ref name="dasrotewien.at/seite/verband-der-amateurfussballvereine-oesterreichs-vafoe">www.dasrotewien.at (German)</ref>
There was a split over the question of whether the association should send a team to the first Workers' Olympics. The Free Association left the ÖFV and formed on 7 March 1926 the "Freie Vereinigung der Amateur-Fußballvereine Österreichs" (VAFÖ) . On July 1st the VAFÖ went one step further. It was decided to liquidate the association with the bourgeoisie and joined the ASKÖ. The other teams formed the "Allgemeinen Österreichischen Fußball-Bund" (AÖFB).
The VAFÖ then focused on the promotion of workers' football on an amateur base. They played own championships and cup competitions. They also formed an amateur selection. It represented Austria with great success in international workers' tournaments (Olympic champion 1931, European champion 1933). In 1927 the VAFÖ had 403 clubs with around 10.000 members.
Due to the poor economic situation, many players went to professional clubs in the early 1930s. After the Austrian Civil War in 1934 and the ban of the Social Democratic Party most of the VAFÖ teams were forced to the AÖFB. The football association existed till 1936 but had no influence.

1989 Brazilian presidential election
|
Presidential elections were held in Brazil in 1989. The first round was on November 15 and the second round on December 17. They were the first direct presidential elections since 1960. They were the first elections using a two-round system and the first under the 1988 constitution. This was the first democratic election since the fall of the military dictatorship.
President José Sarney of the Brazilian Democratic Movement (PMDB), the MBD's successor, was ineligible to run. Popular Governor of Alagoas Fernando Collor de Mello resigned as governor to run for president. His television campaign ads made him from a dark horse candidate to a front-runner presidential candidate. Collor chose Senator Itamar Franco as his running mate.
Popular labor leader and member of the Chamber of Deputies Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, known as Lula, ran as a progressive left-wing political candidate. Lula was widely known in Brazil for his role leading the highly publicized metalworkers' strike during the late 1970s. Lula ran as a member of the Workers' Party (PT).
In the first round of voting, Collor won 30.48% of the vote against Lula's 17.19%. In the second round, Collor defeated Lula, winning 53.03% against 46.97%. Collor became the first democratically-elected President of Brazil in almost thirty years. Collor would later resign from office because of an impeachment trial.

Fluoroantimonic acid
|
Fluoroantimonic acid is a mixture of hydrogen fluoride and antimony pentafluoride. It is one of the strongest known acids. It is a liquid at 25 degrees Celsius at standard atmosphere (a specific pressure).
This chemical is a superacid that can be more than 1016 times stronger than pure sulfuric acid, with pH generally dependent on the ratios of hydrogen fluoride and antimony pentafluoride. It is reported to have a pKa of -31.3. It is a highly volatile liquid at moist air, releasing irritating toxic fumes. Extreme care must be taken when handling and storing fluoroantimonic acid; it is more than corrosive enough to dissolve ordinarily corrosion-resistant materials, including glass. It is generally stored in PTFE-coated (commonly known as Teflon) containers, as only the fluoride-carbon bonds in PTFE are strong enough to resist protonation from fluoroantimonic acid. Extreme corrosion is not the only hazard as it is highly unstable, oxidizing, poisonous and irritating.
Overall hazards are corrosion, irritation, oxidizing hazard, toxicity, health hazard, environmental hazard and potential explosiveness due to moisture.
Properties.
Acidity.
Fluoroantimonic acid is often rated as around 1016 times stronger than pure sulfuric acid, giving it one of the highest known acidities.
pH.
This acid is so strong that it doesn't have a measurable pH value in the traditional sense, as it readily donates protons in virtually any environment. Hammett acidity function (H0) is the proper unit for measuring superacids stronger than Sulfuric acid (H0: -12). Fluoroantimonic acid's H0 is about -28 or more negative than that.
Protonation power.
Fluoroantimonic acid can protonate even weak bases and hydrocarbons, which are typically non-reactive to most other acids.
Reactivity.
Its extreme reactivity means it can corrode glass, metals, and most organic materials. However sometimes it's seen to corrode glass rather slowly, which might be due to impurities. It reacts violently and dehydrates cellulose based materials (paper or wood). It dissolves most hand gloves. However it seems to react less violently with latex gloves, resulting in discoloration. It is also a strong oxidant and reacts violently (explodes) with water. It is highly volatile in moist air, releasing fumes violently and heating up. It decomposes into toxic Hydrogen fluoride gas when heated to . It's one of the most unstable substance known on earth, unless stored properly. It's stored in specialized containers, typically made of Teflon or other highly resistant fluorinated materials.
Structure and chemistry.
Fluoroantimonic acid is often written as , but this is not a real chemical species. The actual mixture contains various fluoronium cations and fluoroantimonate anions, with the acidity coming from the fluoronium. A more accurate representation of the acid is , but this is still only a small portion of the actual species present.
Formation.
HSbF6 is created by mixing HF and SbF5. The reaction generates an equilibrium of the complex and ions. The proton (H+) in this complex is extremely mobile, which accounts for its high acidity.
Solvent properties.
Because of its ionizing power, fluoroantimonic acid is used as a protonating solvent in some highly specialized chemical reactions, especially in research involving carbocations and organic reaction mechanisms.
Uses and handling.
Research applications.
Due to its extreme strength, fluoroantimonic acid is used mainly in laboratory research, especially in organic chemistry and superacid studies, to create highly charged intermediates and study their reactions.
Safety concerns.
This acid is exceptionally dangerous. Direct exposure can lead to severe burns and even respiratory damage due to its fumes. It's a potent toxin and a carcinogen too. It's fumes, which are composed of Hydrofluoric acid and other carcinogenic antimony compounds are strong irritants and contact toxins. Handling requires strict safety protocols, including the use of specialized protective gear and containment equipment. The use of fume hoods or specialized glovebox is recommended. As this acid reacts with most gloves, special acid-resistant gloves must be used.
Storage and stability.
Storage.
Fluoroantimonic acid is corrosive to glass and most metals. It cannot be stored in containers made out of those materials. Fluoropolymers such as polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon) or perfluoroalkoxy alkane (PFA) protect containers against the acid.
Fluoroantimonic acid must be stored at a relatively cool temperature, away from moisture. It must not be stored in warmer places, where temperatures may exceed its decomposition point. This will lead to container bursting due to gas pressure.
Instability.
The acid is one of the most unstable substances known and extremely volatile, decomposing violently in the presence of moisture, releasing toxic and corrosive gases. It is explosive in the presence of water. Heating it is dangerous as well, as it decomposes to toxic gases. Rapid heating may cause it to explode. Heating it in a closed container is even more dangerous as it can explode due to pressure building up. It must be handled in dry, controlled environments

A. H. "Anne" van Gent (1 February 1926 — October 2022) was a Dutch politician of the PvdA. He was the mayor of Zevenhuizen from 1982 to 1991. He was nationally engaged in trade promotion.
Biography.
Van Gent was born on 1 February 1926 as the son of Benjamin van Gent (1887-1975; teacher) and Johanna Adriana Ververs (1883-1963). He joined the city council of Waddinxveen. He became alderman from 1973. He was responsible for Education and Sports Affairs. For the 1982 council elections he participated as party leader. Advertisements were even made with the help of an advertising plane with a slogan to vote Anne van Gent. A day after the elections it was announced he was appointed mayor of Zevenhuizen. He stopped as an alderman, but it became a national news item that Van Gent combined his position as a councilor in Waddinxveen with the mayorship in Zevenhuizen until September of that year. Nowadays that wouldn’t be allowed.
In 1991 Zevenhuizen merged with the municipality of Moerkapelle. After nine years this ended his mayorship. He moved back to Waddinxveen.
In 2019 he moved to Gouda. He died in his sleep in Gouda in October 2022, aged 96.

During this period, which saw the recovery and start of democracy in Argentina in 1983, he began his political militancy within the Purple Strip, a university group linked to the Radical Civic Union (UCR), a ruling party at the national level with Raúl Alfonsín. as president.
Governor of Jujuy.
Morales was elected governor in 2015. Expecting protests from Milagro Sala, he requested police reinforcements to the national government. He wanted to prevent riots during the end of the year. 43 gendarmeries were sent to Jujuy, but died in a car accident at Rosario de la Frontera, in unclear circumstances.
The "Tupac Amaru" organization denied the existence of violence in the province, and started a permanent demonstration at the Jujuy plaza. Morales accused the organizations that compose the "Tupac Amaru" of keeping the social welfare money for themselves, and distributing it only to their political supporters. To reduce their influence, he arranged that those payments should be done through bank accounts and not with cash, to keep track of the money. After a month, he urged the organizations to accept the terms and leave the plaza, or he would revoke their legal authorizations. The "Tupac Amaru" was split by this, as most organizations accepted Morales' proposal, but Sala and a reduced faction rejected it. Milagro Sala was arrested a few days later, accused of calling to riots and civil disorder.
