as temperatures start to go up Foodies are also spoilt for choice in Loire with a multitude of flavours ranging from cheeses with character to the famous Duculty dry sausage The Olympic torch got the action going in Roanne where it visited landmarks such as the town's historic squares —Place des Promenades Populle and Place Louis Flandre— before heading to the banks of the Loire It shone a light on several iconic sites in the department Saint Eugenia's Chapel and the Jardin d'Allard in Montbrison not to mention the horse racecourse in Feurs known and loved by horse racing enthusiasts the Olympic torch blazed past the modern Arena Saint-Étienne Métropole the Théâtre de Verdure and Place de la Liberté it absolutely had to visit the Unité d'Habitation by Le Corbusier and Château des Bruneaux The Olympic torch went through Cour Fauriel zipped past the Museum of Art and Industry and the Museum of Mining and took a breather at the Cité du Design to highlight the role of Saint-Étienne within the UNESCO Creative Cities Network The last few segments took place at the Geoffroy Guichard stadium the temple of football where Les Verts have made fans dream for generations The last relay runner of the day returned to his old hunting grounds a towering figure of the golden age of Saint-Étienne lit the cauldron in front of an adoring crowd in a moment packed with emotions and symbolism An iconic midfielder for Les Verts from 1966 to 1977 and part of the squad that propelled the club to the European Cup final in 1976 he was also a key player of the French national team he was also part of the Les Bleus team that reached the quarter-finals in the 1968 Olympic Games Among the more than 150 torchbearers were numerous athletes an Olympic silver medallist in the discus throw who holds the French record and is set to take part in a new edition of the Games in Paris the French paratriathlon champion; Coraline Juvanon a silver medallist in the team event at the French equestrianism championship; Corine Cucchiara the veteran world judo champion; and Ambre Dusautier who shone in the swimming event at the World Transplant Games They were joined by sport buffs such as Aurélie Lefevre who has worked for a great deal of sporting events including the Albertville Games and multiple football and rugby world cups; and the 73-year-old Yves Laval a unique character who has entered 275 triathlons and duathlons throughout his life and won the French championship thrice but still continues to practise the sport Quite a few torchbearers had mightily inspiring personal backgrounds The Olympic torch was carried by the 11-year-old Isaac Djeroro elected to the Givors youth municipal council; Mourad Abdellaoui who works tirelessly to drive forward Prader–Willi syndrome research; and Mélanie Volle the oldest torchbearer of the stage at 102 years old who deserved the admiration of every man and woman for her fight against Austrofascism and her role in the French

sports SAINT-ÉTIENNE: Twelve Tesla electric superchargers were targeted in an arson attack in the carpark of a supermarket in central France The fire broke out overnight Wednesday to Thursday in the town of St-Chamond in the Loire department confirming a report in the regional newspaper Le Progres “Anti-Tesla campaign born to burn” was found painted in white on the car park floor The police source said it was “the first act targeting the business of billionaire American Elon Musk” in the Loire An investigation for “damage and destruction by fire” has been opened but no arrests had been made There have been a number of anti-Telsa actions in Europe since Musk became US President Donald Trump's adviser and backed European far-right parties a dozen Teslas were torched in an attack on a dealership near the southern city of Toulouse A recent spate of attacks on Tesla property in the United States have been described by Attorney General Pam Bondi as “nothing short of domestic terrorism” Tel: +603-7784 6688 Fax: +603-7785 2625 It would seem the inclusion was meant to depict the battle sequence as bigger and more intense – likely to appeal to fans of Hollywood’s CGI superhero blockbusters and was the first (and only time) the Saint Chamond tanks have been depicted in a film Though just a single example survives today some video gamers may know the tank for its depiction in such titles as Battlefield 1 and World of Tanks “While the invention and deployment of tanks may not have single-handedly changed the outcome of WWI they were certainly emblematic of the technological revolution that occurred during the war,” explained John Adams-Graf the publication of the Military Vehicle Preservation Society (MVPS) Expert Biography: A Senior Editor for 1945 Peter

different ways I wake up in the intensive care unit of Saint-Etienne University Hospital having been plunged into a coma for several hours I was the victim of a road traffic accident Johan Rodriguez on 8 September 2019 during the Aix-les-Bains Olympic distance triathlon Olympic distance triathlon includes 1500 m of swimming The photo was taken during the third discipline: running The injuries sustained in my accident required emergency surgery to save my life visited me and was delighted to see me awake given the severity of the accident The rare combination of injuries was very serious: a complete rupture of the four quadriceps heads at the myotendinous junction and a multiligament knee injury (the lateral collateral ligament and the popliteal tendon) I sustained a fracture of my clavicle and the scapula The quadriceps rupture and the open hand fracture were operated on during my first emergency surgery My functional prognosis was very uncertain and my return to competition seemed almost impossible Doctors told me that I would never return to my sporting life and that I should move on with other plans I had in mind this threat to my identity came as a painful shock I decided to prove those who doubted my healing capabilities wrong As a way to stay positive and have something to hold on to I decided from my hospital bed that I would return to triathlon competitions including my surgeon who at first did not give me much hope of returning to competition this sincerity boosted me as much as it irritated me His speech could have affected me like the accident had scalped my thigh This first part was the most complicated for my medical team The recovery of my quadriceps was a fine balance between promoting my muscular recovery and protecting my surgical sutures I was fully aware of this and researched online about similar injuries but was unable to find this rare combination of injuries that I had The advantage of this literature gap was that it allowed me to hope that my recovery could be unique I was very determined and invested everything clinging to every small positive step forward which was the multiligament reconstruction of the lateral collateral ligament and the popliteal tendon Because I was undergoing a second general anaesthesia within 3 months I saw this postoperative period as a barrier to my progress and not as a stage of my healing I realised how far I still had to go in order to become competitive again It was a relief to feel the glide of the water to find sensations that had been forgotten for too long My return to cycling was done through home training with the initial aim of recovering the range of motion in my knee This recovery brought about a shared feeling: the satisfaction of moving forward in my sport but also the worry about the immense road ahead to reach my goal the first strides were as pleasant as they were difficult running is the one that puts the most stress on my joints but all of the muscles in my right leg are weak too It will take time and specific work for me to regain my dynamic running skills again I will then be able to start training again with the dearest wish to wear a competition bib It remains a complex psychological time for me constantly mixing positive feelings of satisfaction with negative feelings of anger The medical staff played an essential role in my rehabilitation and they motivated me and were a huge part of my plan to return to a high level What is fundamental in my opinion is the evolution of their care which was full of empathy and kindness at the start I would like to highlight three points that could be of help for clinicians: a sincere and realistic approach regarding the diagnosis and prognosis is something that I feel many patients will appreciate This will allow the patient to understand the situation and to better engage in their treatment I appreciated having been listened to by healthcare professionals to help them to adapt their approach (both physically and especially mentally) a progressive and reasonable return to physical activity and then sports is necessary This is in order to balance the motivation of athletes to move again versus the risk of aggravation or reinjury when returning to sports The author would like to thank Thomas Neri Le Clos Champirol and Pascal Edouard for their investment in his medical care

Funding The authors have not declared a specific grant for this research from any funding agency in the public Provenance and peer review Not commissioned; externally peer reviewed Tanks are a staple in modern warfare. From the German Blitzkrieg through Poland and France in the early part of World War II to the use of modern main battle tanks in the frontlines of Ukraine in 2024 these armored vehicles have faced countless battles throughout the 20th and 21st centuries armies on foot and horseback met on vast open fields until the advancements of the Industrial Revolution mechanized warfare made this type of confrontation unsustainable During the first three months of World War I and British armies lost 380,000 men in total — a record number — and by the end of 1914 the dead and wounded exceeded four million men This massive loss directly led to the introduction of trench warfare on the Western Front where the front line stabilized across a series of trenches from the Swiss border to the English Channel with multiple offensives from both sides suffering thousands of casualties The British and the French eventually secretly created armored vehicles to overcome this deadlock These are the first few tanks to face the test of fire in live combat The Mark I Tank is the product of the British Landships Committee, which aimed to create an armored vehicle impervious to gunfire and trample over obstacles, including trenches and barbed wires. The first prototype was the "Little Willie," which eventually became "Big Willie" until it finally entered British service as the Mark I The Mark I tanks were the first tanks ever to see combat going into action against the Germans at the Battle of the Somme on September 15 The British built 150 examples of the Mark I in two variants — 75 female types armed with two Vickers water-cooled heavy machine guns and 75 male types — this time a six-pounder cannon mounted on a sponson on each side These tanks also had a tail-wheel assembly used for steering which isn't found in later versions apparently due to reliability issues The British eventually received newer versions of the tank When these vehicles reached the front lines the original Mark I tanks were relegated to non-combat duties including serving as armored supply tanks and wireless signal tanks equipped with a large antenna Tanks were still a new concept during World War I, so we didn't have the standard hull and turret design in most modern tanks. The first tank makers experimented with different designs, and the first French tank — the Schneider CA 1 — was based on the American Holt Tractor, which eventually became the Caterpillar Tractor Company The CA 1 is basically an armored box placed on an extended Holt chassis It had one 75 mm Schneider cannon mounted on the front-right corner of the tank while it also had two 8mm Hotchkiss M1914 machine guns mounted on a ball mount at each side the CA 1 had a pointed nose to help the driver see but it also had a track up front and a tail to get through obstacles on the front line This design gave the CA 1 tank the silhouette of a ship the CA 1 wasn't very successful in its service Many tanks couldn't overcome the obstacles they faced and their armor wasn't strong enough to stand up to direct fire from German field guns Most surviving tanks were eventually relegated to training or supply duties with a select few participating in minor offensives with heavy infantry support [Featured Image by Der Weltkrieg im Bild via Wikimedia Commons | Cropped and scaled | Public Domain] The Saint-Chamond is a cousin to the Schneider CA 1 the Chamond had a similar box-on-track design but featured a 75 mm gun front and center of the tank In addition, the Saint-Chamond had four machine guns — one on each side — for engaging infantry. However, this tank had a long, overhanging nose — meaning it wasn't a stable platform, and could easily sink into the ground Although the Triple Entente believed in the viability of armored warfare unreliable beasts that could be defeated by artillery fire or with armor-piercing bullets the shock of seeing an armored box that can't be taken down by machine gun fire led them to build a tank of their own Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft, the precursor of one of the oldest car brands, produced the first prototype — the Sturmpanzerwagen A7V — in 1917 at the behest of the German War Ministry's 7 Abteilung literally named "Assault Armored Vehicle Department 7 Transport," was armed with one 57 mm field gun and six Maxim MG08 machine guns — two on each side and commander; requiring 18 troops to operate Despite using two 100 horsepower Daimler engines to drive all its weight the A7V had a maximum speed of 3 mph off-road and could only travel 37 miles — even with 132 gallons of petrol when five A7Vs started advancing towards British lines three tanks were disabled — either due to a mechanical breakdown or by getting stuck in obstacles the two remaining A7Vs pressed on and successfully captured their objectives the A7Vs failed to succeed in the Second Battle of Villers-Bretonneux on April 24 This event led to the tank's removal from service and the cancellation of its remaining order This tank isn't the first one the French made, but it had the longest-lasting impact, and is one of the military vehicles that changed the course of history That's because the Renault FT is considered the first modern tank featuring a hull and turret you can still find in most modern tanks today Unlike the previous designs, which were slow, lumbering beasts, the Renault FT is a compact, agile tank that ruled World War I battlefields It was powered by a 4.5-liter four-cylinder engine outputting 39 horsepower and only had a crew of two — the driver and the gunner/commander It was also armed with a 7.92 mm Hotchkiss machine gun or a Puteaux SA 18 37 mm short-barreled cannon The FT's first operation was on May 31, 1918, when 31 tanks of the 501st Regiment d'Artillery Speciale repelled a German advance at Ploissy-Chazelle. This single tank regiment defeated two German divisions while only suffering five losses. This showed the tank's potential, and many countries, including the U.S. The colombian finishes 20th at 42" of Lutsenko (APT) who wins a tight TT ahead of his teamate I Enric Mas and Alejandro Valverde end up 46th and 49th with more than a minute Short but hilly TT that began to shape the GC of this Dauphiné with the main GC contenders along the best times Miguel Ángel López was the fastest of our guys finishing in a promising 20th position that makes him a candidate for the GC due to the upcoming mountain stages he’s 14th on the GC at 43″ of Postlberger (BOH) who kept the yellow jersey today Enric Mas conceded 1’15” while Alejandro Valverde lost a couple seconds more (1’17”) they are now 26th and 24th respectively on the GC High mountain will take another stage to come as we’ll have a typical mid mountain stage tomorrow with 5 climbs and 175,4 km between Saint-Chamond and Saint-Vallier Cover picture (c): BettiniPhoto We are using cookies to give you the best experience on our website.

they created a replacement called the Saint-Chamond tank which had everything the previous iteration lacked dieselpunks How to be nonchalantly run over by a tank: Paris edition The Saint-Chamond tank could travel at about 7.5 miles per hour but the hitch was that it could only do it over flat terrain So what happened when the ground got rough Even though you are not a master tank engineer What happens when that tank has to ford rivers or trenches?" landships "Look Since most WWI battles weren't fought in parking lots this tank was only slightly more ineffectual than the tank it replaced thanks largely in part to that massive appendage on the front which had a tendency to dig straight into the ground and get the whole tank stuck Whenever the tanks surged across the battlefield, they would quickly and comically stumble over craters, mounds or just about any slight change in elevation, and since the gun couldn't rotate or elevate at all the only thing it could do was shoot at the ground So while it may have been useless against other vehicles and humans the tank was very dangerous against enemies like dirt and mud Wikipedia "Shit just a little extra digging and this massive weapon became obsolete Dennis Jarvis bredband Sails The king believed that "Second to God, the welfare of the kingdom depends on its navy." The Vasa was the largest wooden ship ever to set sail thousands of Swedes turned out to see their newest and grandest warship ever set sail for the first time After four years of painstaking construction fired its guns in salute and promptly fell over perdurabo "THAT'LL LEARN YOU As it turns out, trusting your entire design to the king instead of someone whose actual job is making ships is a terrible idea. When the Vasa encountered its first wind only one nautical mile into its maiden voyage the biggest and most expensive sailboat ever built hadn't accounted for the possibility of wind Thousands of people who thought they would only witness the rise of the Swedish navy instead got the bonus of seeing its fall as well Wikipedia The Swedes are a notoriously punctual people How about failing to learn its lesson almost four centuries later .. battleshiplist the Tegetthoff Class battleship is the answer to how many deadly weapons anyone can fit on one boat It had close to 50 guns of varying size littered across the whole ship the most remarkable of which were the 12 cartoonishly large caliber guns mounted on the centerline each one firing a shell 12 inches in diameter the trouble with the biggest guns in the world is that they're heavy cityofart "Sure Don't get us wrong: If you were an enemy facing this thing provided you stayed in one place and it was the direction the ship was already headed The Tegetthoff Class battleship was like the rhinoceros of the sea cityofart In that it sunk straight to the bottom Amazingly, there were still four of these ships built without modifications to fix this rather serious problem. So the Austro-Hungarian navy faced two options: a large and expensive refit and overhaul to the ships that would redistribute the weight, or just avoid turning, ever. They decided to go with the latter and banned sharp turning on all four ships when the SMS Szent Istvan was hit by an enemy torpedo despite such drastic measures as counter-flooding throwing all ammunition overboard and turning the giant guns sideways Wikipedia "What about the crew?" "Good idea Oh, and to add embarrassment, the whole thing is caught on film Wikipedia the Hawker Hunter was one of the first jet interceptors fielded by the Royal Air Force An interceptor is designed primarily to go out they are supposed to have a long range and they are supposed to be able to shoot down planes more than twice their size military-aircraft Fabulously so the first prototype broke the world airspeed record for 1953 after the designers got the "fast" and "looks cool" parts down The Hawker Hunter could only stay airborne for about an hour, which meant that if anything went wrong with the flight plan, it resulted in an immediate emergency But that was the least of a pilot's worries when flying one of these to intercept a bomber planeshots Maybe they should have spent a little more time on those blueprints and a little less time color-coordinating The guns were positioned in such a way that the exhaust and shell casings would fly right the hell back into the spinning metal blades keeping the plane aloft the Hawker Hunter couldn't destroy anything without killing itself Wikipedia "That's a great height We guess this isn't as silly as if they had positioned important parts of the plane in front of the guns ahoy Asking the Netherlands to build a war ship would be like asking a vegan to prepare a steak dinner: They might get the ingredients right but you'll always have the sense that they're trying to teach a self-righteous lesson with the preparation modelshipghallery "We're just here for the dinky model ships." And even though it likely wasn't intentional the anti-aircraft guns had to shoot the ship before it had any chance of hitting the enemy to the point where the anti-air capability was all limited to one cluster of guns on one side of the ship Here's a little diagram to help you understand exactly why that would be a problem and it's still better than the Dutch attempt The anti-aircraft guns were perfectly lined up to shoot right through the bridge or as those of you who don't watch the History Channel or Star Trek might know it that place where senior officers and commanders hang out since there was virtually no anti-aircraft armament that could protect the front of the ship the De Ruyter didn't last very long in World War II It was sunk quickly during its first major engagement in the Battle of the Java Sea showing just how much military might a nation of pacifists contains machuproject "OK wait until it comes around for another pass militaryimages it's the tank they used in that chase scene in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade this tank was incredibly deadly against the outmatched Germans but it was also incredibly deadly to the British soldiers who had to pack themselves inside of it Wikipedia They're probably still inside The biggest problem was that there was no separation between the engine and the crew compartment. That would be the equivalent of installing a car's motor in the passenger seat, and then sealing all the windows and vents with steel. The massive amounts of carbon monoxide pumping out from the engines of the Mark I would sometimes cause entire tank crews to pass out in the middle of combat Wikipedia "Aw As the British designed newer versions of the tank, they never bothered to take care of the biggest and most dangerous problem. Instead, they upgraded the Mark I to a troop carrier by extending the length, but the troops were completely useless wherever they arrived thanks to the severe carbon monoxide poisoning the temperature could also get up to 120 degrees inside causing some soldiers to get heatstroke in addition to huffing toxic fumes If WWI had been against raw meats and frozen pizzas Britain would have won the war single-handedly after inadvertently developing the most deadly and durable oven ever conceived Wikipedia "Just surrender the whole lot to the Germans and let nature take its course."
