WORST NUN IN HISTORY
Juana Ramírez de Asbaje faced a formidable panel comprising esteemed theologians, jurists, and mathematicians. The viceroy of New Spain had summoned them to test the young woman's knowledge with the most challenging questions they could conceive. Yet, Juana astounded everyone by providing successful answers to their diverse challenges, ranging from complex mathematical equations to intricate philosophical inquiries. Onlookers would later liken this scene to "a majestic galleon fending off a few canoes."

Twelve Distinguished African Presidents Whose Lives Were Cut Short by Western Powers
The annals of African political leadership are marked by the weighty burdens that fell upon both the rulers and the ruled, both before and after independence. Two critical challenges that every African leader must confront are the high and often unyielding demands of their citizens and the significant pressure exerted by neocolonialist Western powers. It is an irrefutable fact that a notable number of African presidents have been removed from power through coups d'état, and a considerable number have been assassinated. This article aims to shed light on the top 12 African presidents who were assassinated, directly or indirectly, by Western powers due to their opposition to imperialism or neocolonialism.

Science. Content Warning.
NASA has recently disclosed that its lidar satellite mission, which involved the emission of energy beams into the atmosphere for a duration of 17 years, has concluded in August. CALIPSO, a collaborative endeavor between NASA and the French National Centre for Space Studies (CNES), has depleted its fuel reserves. Consequently, owing to its deteriorating orbit, the satellite has lost its ability to generate adequate power for the functioning of its scientific instruments. Consequently, the two space agencies have mutually decided to terminate the mission on August 1, as announced by NASA on Tuesday. The mission involved the integration of an active lidar instrument, which is an acronym for light detection and ranging, with passive infrared and visible imagers to investigate the vertical structure and characteristics of thin clouds and aerosols in the Earth's atmosphere. Lidar and radar both emit beams of energy towards the Earth and subsequently measure the reflection of these beams off the clouds and aerosols. Lidar is classified as an active sensor in comparison to other scientific instruments that employ passive sensors to measure reflected sunlight or radiation emitted from the Earth or clouds. CALIPSO, which is an abbreviation for the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation, was launched on April 28, 2006, in conjunction with the cloud-profiling radar system on the CloudSat satellite.
