Nwankwo Kanu   (born 1 August 1976) is a Nigerian former professional footballer who played as a forward. He was a member of the Nigeria national team, and played for Nigerian team Iwuanyanwu Nationale, Dutch side Ajax, Inter Milan of Italy, and English clubs Arsenal, West Bromwich Albion and Portsmouth.

Kanu won a UEFA Champions League medal, a UEFA Cup medal, three FA Cup medals and two African Player of the Year awards amongst others. He is one of few players to have won the Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League, UEFA Cup and an Olympic Gold Medal. He made the third-most substitute appearances in Premier League history, appearing from the bench 118 times, and is regarded as one of the best players in African football history.

He is also a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, and African brand ambassador for digital TV operator StarTimes. He is also the owner of Kanu Sports TV, an Internet sports television company.

Club career

Early career
Born in Owerri, Imo state, Nigeria, Kanu began his career at Nigerian league club Federation Works, before moving to Iwuanyanwu Nationale. After a notable performance at the U-17 World Championship, in which he won the tournament, he was signed by Dutch Eredivisie giants AFC Ajax in 1993 for an undisclosed fee. He made his Ajax debut that year and went on to score 25 goals in 54 appearances. Kanu also came on as a sub in Ajax's 1995 UEFA Champions League final win over AC Milan. And the next year he started in the Champions League final defeat to Juventus.

Inter
In 1996, Ajax sold Kanu to Serie A side Inter Milan for around $4.7 million. That summer he captained the Nigeria national team that won gold at the Olympics, and scored two late goals in the semi-finals against powerhouses Brazil to overturn a 2–3 scoreline into a 4–3 win in extra time. Kanu was also named African Footballer of the Year for that year.

However, soon after returning from the Olympics, Kanu underwent a medical examination at Inter, which revealed a serious heart defect, and it was believed by doctors that his career was over. He underwent successful surgery in November to replace an aortic valve, and did not return to his club until April 1997. In interviews, Kanu frequently cites his faith as a Christian, and has often mentioned this trying time of his career as an occasion when he prayed to God. Kanu's experience also led to his founding the Kanu Heart Foundation, an organisation that helps predominantly young African children who suffer heart defects and whose work was expanded to provide aid for homeless children in 2008.

Arsenal
In February 1999, after just twelve league games and one goal for Inter, Kanu was signed by Arsenal for approximately £4.15 million. He made his debut for Arsenal, against Sheffield United in the FA Cup. With the score 1–1 and ten minutes to go, the Sheffield United goalkeeper Alan Kelly kicked the ball out of touch so that treatment could be given to Lee Morris. When the ball was thrown back into play by Ray Parlour, although it was intended for Kelly, Kanu chased the throw-in down the right wing unchallenged and centered the ball for Marc Overmars, who scored to make the match 2–1. After the match, Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger accepted that it was not correct sportsmanship and offered to re-play the match which was again won by Arsenal.

Despite the events overshadowing his debut, Kanu's career was quickly revived at Arsenal. He scored his first goal for the club in the next round of the cup against Derby County, coming off the bench to net the only goal of the game. He quickly became known for his goal scoring prowess from the bench, scoring important goals against Sheffield Wednesday, Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa as a substitute. He became very popular among the fans for his two-fingered salute which started in 1999 against Middlesbrough – something that he later explained was based on the team's nickname, The Gunners.

Kanu was named African Footballer of the Year for the second time in 1999. In the 1999–2000 season he scored 17 times in 50 matches for the Gunners, including a hat-trick in fifteen minutes against Chelsea in October 1999 to turn a 2–0 deficit into a 3–2 victory. In August 2001, Arsenal rejected a bid from Fulham of around £7m for Kanu. However, Kanu's appearances for Arsenal gradually became less frequent, particularly after the emergence of Thierry Henry as Arsenal's first choice striker with Kanu being mainly used as a substitute. Kanu then won the 2003 FA Cup with Arsenal. Along with other famous players, such as Henry and Robert Pires, Kanu is a member of the "Invincibles", the Arsenal side that finished the 2003–04 season of the Premier League undefeated. He played 197 games for Arsenal, scoring 44 goals. In the summer of 2004, after his contract with Arsenal ended, he moved to West Bromwich Albion on a free transfer. In 2008, Kanu was voted 13th in the "Gunners' Greatest 50 Players" poll.

In the summer of 2006, Kanu played as a guest for Arsenal in Dennis Bergkamp's testimonial game, the first match to be played in Arsenal's new Emirates Stadium. The game was tied 1–1 when Kanu scored the winning goal, making him the third person to score in the stadium. At the end of the match, Kanu joined the rest of the Arsenal side in hoisting the retired Dutchman on their shoulders as fans gave him a standing ovation.
He remains a popular figure at Arsenal, being applauded when he appears at the Emirates Stadium. During his time with the club, he wore the number 25 shirt.

West Bromwich Albion
West Bromwich Albion had just been promoted to the Premier League for the second time in the space of two years. Kanu started as a regular for the club, making his debut in a 1–1 draw away at Blackburn Rovers on 14 August 2004. He scored his first goal for Albion on 18 September 2004, an 88th-minute equalizer in a 1–1 home draw against Fulham. In a match against Middlesbrough on 14 November 2004, Kanu was guilty of an incredible miss in injury time, with Albion 2–1 down. Kanu had sent a low cross over the bar from a yard away from the goal line. Manager Bryan Robson was seen in TV footage mouthing the words "How did he miss that?", and Kanu's howler was crowned "Miss of the Season" by many media outlets in their end-of-season reviews. Nevertheless, the 2004–05 season was ultimately a memorable one for West Bromwich Albion, as they became the first club to avoid relegation from the Premier League after being bottom of the table at Christmas.

One of the most memorable games of the 2005–06 season for Kanu came with the visit of his former club Arsenal to The Hawthorns on 15 October 2005. Philippe Senderos put the visitors ahead in the 17th minute, but Kanu equalised shortly before half time. West Brom went on to win the match 2–1 with a spectacular strike from Darren Carter. It was their first home win over Arsenal since 1973, and the first time that they had come from behind to win a Premier League game. But such highlights were rare for Albion that season, and the club was relegated at the end of 2005–06. Kanu's contract had expired, and he chose not to renew it. In his two years at The Hawthorns he made a total of 58 appearances – 16 of them as a substitute – and scored nine goals.

Portsmouth

Kanu was a free agent following his departure from West Brom, and he signed for Portsmouth on a one-year deal shortly before the start of the 2006–07 season. Pompey had undergone a revival in the second half of the previous campaign, following the return of Harry Redknapp as manager, avoiding relegation by four points after being in serious danger at the turn of the year. At the start of the 2006–07 season, they were undefeated in their first five games, during which they did not concede a single goal. Kanu made his debut for Portsmouth as a substitute against Blackburn Rovers on 19 August 2006, the opening day of the 2006–07 Premier League season. He scored twice and missed a penalty. Kanu went on to finish the season as the top goal scorer for Portsmouth, with 12 goals altogether. He then signed a new one year deal with the club.

In his second season at Portsmouth, Kanu scored in both the FA Cup 1–0 semi-final win against West Bromwich Albion and the 1–0 win in the final against Cardiff City, earning him a third FA Cup winner's medal.

His first goal of the 2008–09 season put Portsmouth 2–0 up in their eventual 2–2 UEFA Cup draw with Italian club AC Milan. He later scored the winning goal against Bolton Wanderers, which ensured Pompey's mathematical safety. It was his only Premier League goal of 2008–09. He re-signed with Pompey in August 2010, with an eye on becoming a coach when he retired. Kanu signed a three-year deal and kept the number 27 shirt, but was not a regular starter throughout the course of the season and only managed two goals.

During the 2011–12 season, his playing time was reduced, appearing only from the bench. After the departure of Steve Cotterill, and the arrival of Michael Appleton, he was also removed from the bench, due to fitness and injury problems. By May 2012, aided by a point deduction for entering administration Portsmouth had found themselves in a relegation battle which eventually ended in them relegated to League One. To cut costs the Administrator hoped to reach agreement to terminate the contracts of Kanu along with six other players due to them being the highest-earning players at the club. On 9 July 2012, it was announced that Kanu and Aaron Mokoena were expected to leave the club after failing to attend the first day back at pre-season training. Kanu threatened to sue Portsmouth for unpaid back wages. On 30 July, Kanu agreed to leave Portsmouth, but he reiterated that he was still in a dispute over the unpaid wages that the club owed him. In April 2013 he confirmed that he had dropped the case and let the club off the £3 million he claimed he was owed.

International career
Kanu was a member of the Nigeria national team from 1994 to 2010, making his debut in a friendly against Sweden. Earlier on at the start of his career, Kanu was instrumental in Nigeria's overall success at the 1993 FIFA U-17 World Championship in Japan and their subsequent 2–1 victory over Ghana in the final. With five goals, he was the second joint-scorer in the tournament with Peter Anosike and Manuel Neira, behind compatriot and captain Wilson Oruma.

As well as winning the Olympic gold in the football event at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, where he scored the winning goal in the 4–3 semi-final win over Brazil, his second goal of the match, Kanu participated at the 1998 and 2002 FIFA World Cups. On 24 June 2010, Kanu ended his international career following Nigeria's exit from the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. The Super Eagles lost their group matches against Argentina and Greece, before drawing 2–2 with South Korea. He won 86 caps and scored 13 goals for his country and was the joint most capped Nigerian player of all-time alongside Muda Lawal, until Joseph Yobo surpassed both players in 2012, winning his 87th cap. Despite being a striker, he wore the number 4 shirt for the national team. In 2022, his status was further cemented when he was voted the best Nigerian football player of all time by the prominent Nigerian football site, BetwithMusa.com. This honour recognizes Kanu's significant contribution to Nigerian football and his enduring influence on generations of players.

Style of play
Despite his physical strength, slender frame, and large stature of 1.97 m (6 ft 6 in), Kanu was a talented player, who was quick and elegant in possession, and who possessed an excellent touch on the ball and nimble footwork; he was also highly regarded in the media for his technical skills, dribbling ability, and close control, as well as his flair and use of feints, which made him an unpredictable player on the pitch. He was also an intelligent player, who possessed good vision and movement, as well as being a good passer, who had the ability to read the game and an eye for the final ball, which – along with his timing and finishing ability – allowed him both to score and create goals; however, he also lacked significant pace, and drew criticism at times in the media over his work-rate, "languid" playing style, and occasional tendency to miss easy goalscoring opportunities.

Although he was often deployed as a striker, his creativity also allowed him to operate in a more withdrawn attacking role behind or supporting the main striker, or even in an advanced playmaking role. Although his height made him a strong presence in the air, he was more adept at scoring with his feet than with his head, despite his size, although he improved upon his aerial game in his later career. He was also known for his determination and ability to hold-up the ball with his back to goal. Moreover, his ability to score decisive goals when coming off the bench earned him a reputation as a "super sub" in the media during his time with Arsenal. However, despite being a gifted player, he was also known for being inconsistent, and his congenital heart defect is thought to have had a negative impact on his career and fitness, although he was able to improve his stamina following corrective surgery through his training. He is considered by pundits to be one of the greatest African players of all time, and by some, as the greatest Nigerian player ever.

Personal life
Kanu is a native of Abia State, southeast Nigeria, and a member of the Aro sub-group of the Igbo ethnic group. Nwankwo means "Child born on Nkwo market day" in the Igbo language.

Kanu's younger brother, Christopher, was also a footballer, who played as a defender; he also has another younger brother, Ogbonna. Kanu is a Christian.

Kanu was born with a congenital heart defect, which impeded his aortic valve from closing properly; it was discovered and operated on in 1996. Although it was feared that he would not play again, and that it would affect his career, he made a full recovery. He undergoes an annual medical check-up for the condition. In March 2014, he successfully underwent corrective heart surgery once again, in the United States.

Philanthropy
Kanu's own experience with a congenital heart defect moved him to set up the "Kanu Heart Foundation" in 2000, a foundation which aims to tackle homelessness, and which also built five hospitals in Africa to treat children with undiagnosed heart disease and provide them surgery.

O solrianfetol ou solriamfetol (DCI; vendido sob a marca Sunosi), é um fármaco  usado no tratamento da sonolência excessiva em pessoas com narcolepsia e/ou apneia do sono. É um compsto derivado da fenilalanina. O solrianfetol atua como um inibidor de recaptação de noradrenalina e dopamina (IRND). Os efeitos colaterais mais comuns são dor de cabeça, náusea, ansiedade e insônia.

A droga foi descoberta por uma subsidiária do SK Group, que licenciou os direitos para a para a Aerial Pharma em 2011.

Farmacologia

Farmacodinâmica
Solriamfetol é um inibidor de recaptação de noradrenalina e dopamina (IRND). Ele se liga ao transportador de dopamina e ao transportador de noradrenalina (NAT) com afinidades (Ki) de 14,2 μM e 3,7 μM, respectivamente). Inibe a recaptação de dopamina e noradrenalina com valores de concentração inibitória média (IC50), respectivamente, de 2,9 μM e 4,4 μM.

Possui afinidade fraca em relação ao transportador de serotonina (SERT) (Ki = 81,5 μM) e seu efeito parece ser insignificante na recaptação de serotonina (IC50 > 100 μM). O solrianfetol interage com vários outros neurotransmissores, mas não exerce efeito farmacológico significativo, por exemplo em receptores de dopamina, serotonina, adrenérgico, GABA, adenosina, histamina, orexina, benzodiazepina e acetilcolina.

Farmacocinética
A meia-vida de eliminação do solriamfetol é de, aproximadamente, 7,1 horas.

Bedeviler (Arapça: بدوي), geçmişte göçebe olan ve Sahra Çölü'nün Atlas Okyanusu kıyısından Batı Çölü, Sina Yarımadası ve Necef Çölü üzerinden Arap Çölü'ne kadar uzanan bölgede yaşayan Arap kabileleridir. Arap olmayan bazı kabilelerin, örneğin Kızıl Deniz'in Afrika kıyısındaki Bejalar gibi, Bedevi olarak anıldıkları olmuştur.

Ana geçim kaynakları develer ile ticaret ve hayvancılıktır; vahalarda bulunan suyu çok dikkatli bir biçimde kullanarak yaşarlar. Bedevilerin temel geçim kaynağı göçebe hayvancılıktır. En çok besledikleri hayvan, çöle uyum sağlamış develerdir. Koyun ve at besleyen Bedevi toplulukları da vardır. Kendilerinin ve hayvanlarının su ihtiyaçlarını çölde açılmış su kuyularından karşılarlar. Yaşadıkları bölge yılın hiçbir ayında yeterli yağış alamadığı için temel geçim kaynağı hayvancılıktır.

Bedevilerin geleneksel yemeği fıstıklı pilav üstünde kuzu kızartmasının ikram edildiği mansaftır.

Las diacilglicerol cinasas tipo 1 () son enzimas que catalizan la conversión de diacilglicerol (DAG) a ácido fosfatídico (PA) utilizando ATP como fuente de fosfato.

 1,2-diacilglicerol + ATP  1,2-diacilglicerol-3-fosfato + ADP

Los genes de las diacilglicerol cinasas tipo 1 presentes en el ser humano son: DGKA, DGKB y DGKG. Este tipo de diacilglicerol cinasas se caracteriza por la presencia de dominios mano EF y dominios homólogos a la recoverina.

DGKA

Una vez estimulada la célula, la DGKA tiene como función la conversión del mensajero secundario diacilglicerol en fosfatidato, iniciando así la resíntesis de fosfatidilinositoles y atenuando la actividad de la proteína cinasa C. Es estimulada por el calcio y la fosfatidilserina. Es fosforilada por la proteína cinasa C. Se presenta como monómero. Se expresa en los linfocitos y células oligodendrogliales.

DGKB

La DGKB exhibe gran actividad fosforiladora sobre los diacilglicerol de cadena larga. Es estimulada por la fosfatidilserina. Se localiza en el citoplasma.

DGKG

La DGKG revierte el flujo normal de la biosíntesis de glicerolípidos fosforilando el diacilglicerol a ácido fosfatídico. Requiere fosfatidilserina para tener máxima actividad. Se localiza en el citoplasma o a la membrana a la que puede estar fuertemente unida. Se expresa predominantemente en la retina y en menor medida en el cerebro. Otros tejidos contienen muy bajos niveles de DGKG.

Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited (), commonly referred to as Deloitte, is a British multinational professional services network headquartered in London, England. Deloitte is the largest professional services network by revenue and number of professionals in the world and is considered one of the Big Four accounting firms along with EY, KPMG and PwC.

The firm was founded by William Welch Deloitte in London in 1845 and expanded into the United States in 1890. It merged with Haskins & Sells to form Deloitte Haskins & Sells in 1972 and with Touche Ross in the US to form Deloitte & Touche in 1989. In 1993, the international firm was renamed Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, later abbreviated to Deloitte. In 2002, Arthur Andersen's practice in the UK as well as several of that firm's practices in Europe and North and South America agreed to merge with Deloitte. Subsequent acquisitions have included Monitor Group, a large strategy consulting business, in January 2013. The international firm is a UK private company, limited by guarantee, supported by a network of independent legal entities.

Deloitte provides audit, consulting, financial advisory, risk advisory, tax, and legal services with approximately 415,000 professionals globally. In FY 2021, the network earned revenues of US$50.2 billion in aggregate. The firm has sponsored a number of activities and events including the 2012 Summer Olympics.

Controversies involving the firm, in addition to litigation surrounding a few of its audits, have included its involvement in a "potentially misleading" report on illicit tobacco trading in Australia, the fact that it suffered a major cyber-attack which breached client confidentiality as well as exposing extensive employee information in September 2017, its role as internal auditor of the insolvent contractor Carillion and its role as external auditor of Autonomy which was accused of "accounting improprieties" that contributed to an £8.8 billion write-down of value following its acquisition by Hewlett-Packard in 2011.

History

Early history
In 1845, William Welch Deloitte opened an office in London, United Kingdom. Deloitte was the first person to be appointed an independent auditor of a public company, namely the Great Western Railway. He went on to open an office in New York in 1880.

In 1890, Deloitte opened a branch office on Wall Street headed by Edward Adams and P.D. Griffiths as branch managers. That was Deloitte's first overseas venture. Other branches were soon opened in Chicago and Buenos Aires. In 1898 P.D. Griffiths returned from New York and became a partner in the London office.

In 1896, Charles Waldo Haskins and Elijah Watt Sells formed Haskins & Sells in New York. It was later described as "the first major auditing firm to be established in the country by American rather than British accountants".

In 1898, George Touche established an office in London and then, in 1900, joined John Ballantine Niven in establishing the firm of Touche Niven in the Johnston Building at 30 Broad Street in New York.

On 1 March 1933, Colonel Arthur Hazelton Carter, President of the New York State Society of Certified Public Accountants and managing partner of Haskins & Sells, testified before the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking and Currency. Carter helped convince Congress that independent audits should be mandatory for public companies.

In 1947, Detroit accountant George Bailey, then president of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, launched his own organization. The new entity enjoyed such a positive start that in less than a year, the partners merged with Touche Niven and A. R. Smart to form Touche, Niven, Bailey & Smart. Headed by Bailey, the organization grew rapidly, in part by creating a dedicated management consulting function. It also forged closer links with organizations established by the co-founder of Touche Niven, George Touche: the Canadian organization Ross and the British organization George A. Touche. In 1960, the firm was renamed Touche, Ross, Bailey & Smart, becoming Touche Ross in 1969. In 1968 Nobuzo Tohmatsu formed Tohmatsu Aoki & Co, a firm based in Japan that was to become part of the Touche Ross network in 1975. In 1972 Robert Trueblood, Chairman of Touche Ross, led the committee responsible for recommending the establishment of the Financial Accounting Standards Board.

In 1972, Deloitte's firm (by then known as Deloitte, Plender, Griffiths & Co.) merged with Haskins & Sells to form Deloitte Haskins & Sells.

In 1989, Deloitte Haskins & Sells merged with Touche Ross in the US to form Deloitte & Touche. The merged firm was led jointly by J. Michael Cook and Edward A. Kangas. Led by the UK partnership, a smaller number of Deloitte Haskins & Sells member firms rejected the merger with Touche Ross and shortly thereafter merged with Coopers & Lybrand to form Coopers & Lybrand Deloitte (later to merge with Price Waterhouse to become PwC). Some member firms of Touche Ross also rejected the merger with Deloitte Haskins & Sells and merged with other firms. In the UK, Touche Ross merged with Spicer & Oppenheim in 1990.

Recent history
At the time of the US-led mergers to form Deloitte & Touche, the name of the international firm was a problem, because there was no worldwide exclusive access to the names "Deloitte" or "Touche Ross" – key member firms such as Deloitte in the UK and Touche Ross in Australia had not joined the merger. The name DRT International was therefore chosen, referring to Deloitte, Ross and Tohmatsu. In 1993, the international firm was renamed Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu.

In 1995, the partners of Deloitte & Touche decided to create Deloitte & Touche Consulting Group (now known as Deloitte Consulting).

In 2000, Deloitte acquired Eclipse to add internet design to its consulting capabilities. Eclipse was later separated into Deloitte Online and Deloitte Digital.

In 2002, Arthur Andersen's UK practice, the firm's largest practice outside the US, agreed to merge with Deloitte's UK practice. Andersen's practices in Spain, the Netherlands, Portugal, Belgium, Mexico, Brazil and Canada also agreed to merge with Deloitte. The spinoff of Deloitte France's consulting division led to the creation of Ineum Consulting.

In 2005, Deloitte acquired Beijing Pan-China CPA to become the largest accountancy firm in China. Just prior to this acquisition Deloitte China had about 3,200 employees. This acquisition was part of a five-year plan to invest $150 million in China. Deloitte has had a presence in China since 1917.

In 2007, Deloitte began hiring former employees of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) for their competitive intelligence unit known as Deloitte Intelligence.

In 2009, Deloitte purchased the North American public service practice of BearingPoint (formerly KPMG Consulting) for $350 million after it filed for bankruptcy protection.

Deloitte LLP took over the UK property consultants Drivers Jonas in January 2010. As of 2013, this business unit was known as Deloitte Real Estate.

In 2011, Deloitte acquired DOMANI Sustainability Consulting and ClearCarbon Consulting in order to expand its sustainability service offerings.

In January 2012, Deloitte announced the acquisition of Übermind, a mobile advertising agency. The acquisition marked Deloitte's first entrance into the mobile application field.

In November 2012, Deloitte acquired Recombinant Data Corporation, a company specializing in data warehousing and clinical intelligence software, and launched Recombinant by Deloitte. In February 2013 Recombinant by Deloitte merged with an internal informatics unit (Deloitte Health Informatics) and launched ConvergeHEALTH by Deloitte.

On 11 January 2013, Deloitte purchased substantially all of the business of Monitor Group, the strategy consulting firm founded by Harvard Business School professor Michael Porter, after Monitor filed for bankruptcy protection.

In 2014, the company introduced Rubix, a blockchain consultancy providing advisory services for clients in different business sectors, including government.  In 2016 the company created its first blockchain lab in Dublin. A second hub was launched in New York in January 2017. In 2016, Deloitte Canada set-up a Bitcoin automatic teller machine and equipped a restaurant in its office complex to accept bitcoin as payment. Deloitte CIS partnered with Waves Platform to offering services related to initial coin offerings. Deloitte became a member of the Ethereum Enterprise Alliance and the Hyperledger Project sponsored by the Linux Foundation in May 2017.

In 2016, Deloitte acquired advertising agency Heat of San Francisco, best known for its work Madden NFL from EA Sports and the Hotwire travel website. Heat was the 11th digital marketing agency purchased by Deloitte Digital since its founding in 2012. As of 2016, Deloitte Digital had 7,000 employees. It billed $2.1 billion in 2015, making it one of world's largest digital agencies.

In September 2016, Apple Inc. announced a partnership with Deloitte aimed at boosting sales of its phones and other mobile devices to businesses. As part of the partnership, the two companies will launch a service called Enterprise Next, in which more than 5,000 Deloitte consultants will advise clients on how to make better use of Apple products and services.

In October 2016, Deloitte announced that they were creating Deloitte North West Europe. The Belgian, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Icelandic, Norwegian, and Swedish member firms will combine with the UK and Swiss member firms to create Deloitte North West Europe. Deloitte, over the next three years, would invest €200m to enhance its services to its global, national and private market clients and to create development opportunities. The firm came into effect on 1 June 2017 and it is estimated to have 28,000 partners and people generating over €5bn in annual revenue. Deloitte North West Europe accounts for approximately 20% of all revenue within their Global Network.

In March 2022, Deloitte announced that, as a result of the Russo-Ukrainian War, the firm would no longer carry out business in Russia or Belarus, and would separate its practices within these countries from its global network of firms.

In March 2022, Deloitte acquired Etain, a data and digital transformation specialist company, based in Northern Ireland.

The Wall Street Journal reported in June 2022 that the firm might choose to divide itself into two new companies, one accounting firm and one advisory firm. The Wall Street Journal reported this potential change several weeks after reporting that Ernst & Young was considering a similar split.

Name and branding

In 1989, Deloitte, Haskins & Sells merged in most countries with Touche Ross, forming Deloitte & Touche. However, in the United Kingdom, the local firm of Deloitte, Haskins & Sells merged instead with Coopers & Lybrand (now part of PwC).

While the full name of the UK private company is Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited, in 1989, it initially branded itself as DTT International. In 2003, the rebranding campaign was commissioned by William G. Parrett, the then-CEO of DTT, and led by Jerry Leamon, the global Clients and Markets leader.

According to the company website, Deloitte now refers to the brand under which independent firms throughout the world collaborate to provide audit, consulting, financial advisory, risk management, and tax services to selected clients.

In 2008, Deloitte adopted its new "Always One Step Ahead" (AOSA) brand positioning platform to support the existing Deloitte vision: "To be the Standard of Excellence". AOSA represents the global organization's value proposition and is never used as a tagline. The recent launch of the Green Dot ad campaign also aligns with Deloitte's brand strategy and positioning framework.

In June 2016, Deloitte changed its branding and adopted a new logo, with Deloitte written in black color instead of the earlier blue.

In India, Deloitte operates under several brand names, including A.F.Ferguson &Co., A.F.Ferguson Associates, S.B.Billimoria, C.C.Choksi & Co., P.C.Hansotia, Fraser & Ross and Deloitte Haskins & Sells (India).

Legal structure
For many years, the organization and its network of member firms were legally organized as a Swiss Verein (the equivalent of an unincorporated association). As of 31 July 2010, members of the Verein became part of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited (DTTL), a UK private company limited by guarantee without share capital. Each member firm in its global network remains a separate and independent legal entity, subject to the laws and professional regulations of the particular country or countries in which it operates.

This structure is similar to other professional services networks which seek to limit vicarious liability for acts of other members. As separate and legal entities, DTTL and its member firms cannot obligate each other. Professional services continue to be provided by member firms only and not DTTL. With this structure, the members should not be liable for the negligence of other independent members. This structure also allows them to be members of the IFAC Forum of Firms.

In 2019, the UK partners in the firm received average pay of £882,000.

Services

Deloitte member firms offer services in the following functions, with country-specific variations on their legal implementation (i.e., all operating within a single company or through separate legal entities operating as subsidiaries of an umbrella legal entity for the country).

Audit
Audit provides the organization's traditional accounting and audit services, as well as internal auditing, IT control assurance and Media & Advertising Assurance.

Investors in Guangdong Kelon Electrical Holdings Company Limited have claimed that there was a failure to alert them to the company's poor financial position. Deloitte claims it did a good job on the project. Deloitte's global CEO defended the firm's work on the Kelon matter. The firm was the auditor for thirty months from 2002 to 2004. It qualified its opinion in 2004 as to company sales, returns, and allowances. The firm resigned from the Kelon account after completing the 2004 audit. Deloitte said it resigned from the account because management at the client was not committed to best practices in finance.

Consulting
Consulting assists clients by providing services in the offering areas of Strategy, Analytics and M&A, Customer and Marketing, Core Business Operations, Human Capital, and Enterprise Technology and Performance. Consulting is Deloitte's largest business, bringing over 40% of total revenues in 2021.

In An American Sickness (2017), Dr. Elisabeth Rosenthal attributed to Deloitte a key role in counseling the adoption of "strategic billing" as a way of increasing revenues from hospital business. She dates this development from 2005, when Deloitte hired Tommy Thompson, former secretary of health and human services, as chairman of its global healthcare practice. In 2011, Deloitte was ranked No. 1 by revenue in all areas of healthcare consulting—life sciences, payer, provider, and government health.

The firm implemented the SAP HR system for the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) for $95 million and because of faults in the system, some teachers were underpaid, overpaid, or not paid at all. As of 31 December 2007, LAUSD had incurred a total of $140 million in payments to Deloitte to get the system working properly. In 2008, there was some evidence that the payroll issues had started to stabilize with errors below 1% according to LAUSD's chief operating officer.

The firm worked on a statewide case management system for the California Judicial Council which originally had a budget of around $260 million. Almost $500 million had been spent and costs were at one time projected to potentially run as high as $2 billion. No single court became fully operational. California's Judicial Council terminated the project in 2012 citing actual deployment costs associated with the project and California's budget concerns.

Financial advisory
Financial advisory provides corporate finance services to clients, including dispute, personal and commercial bankruptcy, forensics, e-discovery, document review, advisory, mergers & acquisitions, capital projects consulting and valuation services.

Risk advisory
Risk advisory provides offerings in enterprise risk management, information security and privacy, data quality and integrity, strategic & reputation risk, regulatory risk, project risk and cyber risk, and business continuity management and sustainability.

Deloitte also offers authentication of valuable items. Since 2001, Major League Baseball has contracted them to authenticate signed baseball memorabilia to prevent fraud.

Tax and legal
Tax and legal helps clients increase their net asset value, undertake the transfer pricing and international tax activities of multinational companies, minimize their tax liabilities, implement tax computer systems, and provides advisory of tax implications of various business decisions.

In November 2013, the international development charity ActionAid accused Deloitte of advising large businesses on how they could use Mauritius to avoid potentially hundreds of millions of dollars of tax in some of the poorest countries in Africa. Deloitte responded by saying that, in the absence of the double-taxation treaties, they advise their clients to avail themselves of arrangements that could result in less taxes being paid to the countries in question. Deloitte also said it was wrong to say it is tax avoidance to make use of provisions in double tax treaties and that without such treaties investment might be reduced.

GovLab
GovLab is the internal think tank of Deloitte Consulting LLP's Federal Government consulting practice, focused on innovation and government reform. Created in 2010, GovLab is based at New York University in New York, New York, and typically undertakes eight or nine research topics per year, focusing on how future trends, technologies, and business models will affect government.

Offices
Deloitte operates across the world in more than 700 locations.

Operations in India
In the late 1990s, Deloitte commenced operations in India, at the same time as another large auditing firm KPMG. In India, ICAI regulations do not permit foreign firms to carry out audits in India. Hence Deloitte carries out audits in India under the name of C.C.Chokshi & Co., an existing auditing firm that it arranged an agreement with in 1998. In 1992, after India was forced to liberalise under one of the conditions of the World Bank and IMF sponsored bail out, Deloitte was granted a license to operate in India. In 2004, A. F. Ferguson & Co., which has been in India for 110 years, joined Deloitte, following CC Chokshi & Company, Fraser & Ross, PC Hansotia & Company and SB Billimoria & Company.

In India, Deloitte has two entities: Deloitte India and Deloitte US-India (USI), which is a region within the Deloitte US organization. Deloitte India caters to clients within India, while Deloitte USI is an entity of Deloitte US that is geographically located in India and caters to clients of the US member firm.

Awards and recognition
In 2019, Fortune magazine ranked Deloitte as one of the 100 Best Companies to Work For and Bloomberg Business has consistently named Deloitte as the best place to launch a career.

Deloitte, along with KPMG, PwC and PA Consulting Group were recognized among the UK's best companies to work for in 2017.

Deloitte was named the #1 accounting firm for the tenth year in a row by Inside Public Accounting in August 2018. Deloitte's tax services have been globally recognized by ITR, with the firm notably winning three consecutive best transfer pricing awards in the Americas.

In 2017, Deloitte was ranked as one of the ten best places to work for paternity leave by Fatherly, an online resource for parenting news.

In 2018, the research firm Gartner stated that Deloitte has been consistently ranked No. 1 globally in Security Consulting Services, based on revenue, for the past 5–6 years.

In 2019, 2020 and 2021, Gartner stated that Deloitte was the No. 1 consulting service provider worldwide by revenue.

Litigation and regulatory action - auditing

1MDB scandal
During 2021, Deloitte's Malaysia affiliate agreed to pay the Malaysia government $80 million to resolve all claims related to its auditing of accounts of scandal-linked state fund  1MDB and its unit SRC International from 2011 to 2014.  Malaysian and U.S. authorities say at least $4.5 billion was stolen from 1MDB between 2009 and 2014 by high-level officials of the fund and their associates.

Adelphia Communications
The Securities and Exchange Commission announced on 26 April 2005 that Deloitte had agreed to pay $50 million to settle charges relating to  Adelphia's 2000 financial statements. The settlement was later reported to be as high as $210m or $167.5m.

Autonomy
Following Autonomy's 2011 sale to Hewlett-Packard, the British software company was accused of accounting improprieties that contributed to an $8.8 billion write-down of Autonomy's value. In May 2018, the UK-Based Financial Reporting Council (FRC) launched disciplinary action against Deloitte, Autonomy's auditor at the time of the sale. Deloitte Partners who led the audit were accused of failing to correct false and misleading information filed with the FRRP, and otherwise failing to act with objectivity during the course of the audit. The FRC's action followed legal proceedings in the US that found former Autonomy executive Sushovan Hussain guilty of fraud earlier that month.

During 2020, Deloitte was fined a record £15 million and two of its former partners involved in the audits, Richard Knights and Nigel Mercer, were also fined and sanctioned by the UK accounting watchdog, the FRC.

Banro Corporation audit independence fine
The Public Company Accounting Oversight Boardfined Deloitte Canada $350,000 for failing to maintain its independence during three consecutive audits of a Canadian gold-mining company, Banro Corporation.

Johnston Press audit
During 2020, the UK accounting regulator, the Financial Reporting Council, fined Deloitte's UK affiliate £362,500 and reprimanded both the firm and an unnamed audit partner over failures in its audit work for Johnston Press.

Livent
In proceedings arising from the insolvency of the former entertainment company Livent, in April 2014 its special receiver obtained judgment against Deloitte for $84,750,000 in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, in relation to Deloitte's failure to exercise its duty of care with respect to the audit of Livent's financial statements during 19931998. The ruling was upheld by the Ontario Court of Appeal in January 2016, but in December 2017, the Supreme Court of Canada in Deloitte & Touche v Livent Inc (Receiver of) allowed an appeal in part, declaring that liability existed only in respect of Deloitte's negligence in conducting the audit for Livent's 1997 fiscal year, and accordingly reduced the amount of damages awarded to $40,425,000.

Mitie plc
In April 2022, Deloitte's UK affiliate was fined £2 million by the UK accounting regulator, Financial Reporting Council, over 2016 audit of British outsourcing firm, Mitie plc.

Philip Services Corp
Philip Services Corp was a Canadian metals recycling company that collapsed following the revelation of accounting issues and internal fraud.  A class action launched on behalf of US investors against Philip's Canadian auditor  Deloitte & Touche LLP was settled in 2007 with Deloitte agreeing to pay US$50.5 million.

Serco Geografix Ltd.
On 4 July 2019, the Financial Reporting Council fined Deloitte for its failure to properly audit the accounts of a  Serco Group's subsidiary, Serco Geografix, in 2011 and 2012. The United Kingdom's watchdog fined Deloitte with a £4.2 million and additional £300,000 towards the costs of the investigation.

Deloitte's audit engagement partner Helen George was also fined £97,500. FRC stated that the two parties have been sanctioned for their failure to act in accordance with the fundamental principle of professional competence and due care.

SIG plc
In December 2022, Deloitte's UK affiliate was fined £0.9 million (approximately US$1.1 million) by the Financial Reporting Council. The fine came as a result of the company failing to obtain and supply enough audit evidence testing, rebate terms and debtor balances in connection with the 2015/16 audit of the British subsidiary of Swiss building materials firm, SIG plc.

Standard Chartered
In August 2012, Deloitte Financial Advisory Services (DFAS) publicly denied that as the official internal auditors for Standard Chartered, it helped the bank cover up money laundering operations related to Iran which were earning the bank significant profits by "intentionally omitting critical information". DFAS paid the state of New York a $10 million settlement, was required not to take on new business for one year from designated New York banks, and was required to implement reforms in order to prevent similar problems in the future. The state regulator stated that there was no evidence DFAS intentionally helped Standard Chartered launder money.

Litigation and regulatory action - consulting and oversight

Canadian Bar Association
In September 2003, Deloitte reported to the Canadian Bar Association (CBA) that motor vehicle accident insurance claims for bodily injury had been declining since 1999 adjusted for inflation. This contradicted the government's and industry's argument that general damages for soft-tissue injury had to be capped at $4,000. Within hours of release, a member of Deloitte was communicating with Insurance Bureau of Canada without the knowledge of CBA (their client) and providing confidential information. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Alberta found Deloitte guilty of unprofessional conduct and fined the firm $40,000.

Netherlands regulator fine
During 2016, the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) imposed an administrative fine of €1.81 million (~$2 million) on Deloitte's Dutch affiliate, Deloitte Accountants B.V. because it failed to comply with its duty of care in inspection audits.

Rhode Island Benefits system
During 2020, Deloitte's US consulting arm agreed to pay the State of Rhode Island and the US Federal Government $50 million as a settlement relating to its design of a troubled computer system for its state benefits programs.

Quality control failures in Canada
During 2021, the US Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) fined Deloitte's Canadian affiliate $350,000 as a civil penalty for failure to institute reasonable assurance quality controls.

Deloitte Hua Yong
The Securities and Exchange Commission announced on 29 September 2022 that Shanghai-based Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Certified Public Accountants LLP (Deloitte-China) had agreed to pay $20 million to settle charges relating to failures in complying with requirements for auditing US companies in China and Chinese companies in the US. Deloitte-China, also known as Deloitte Hua Yong, self-reported the deficiencies found in 12 fiscal year 2018 audits. Auditors asked clients to prepare their own paperwork to show that Deloitte-China had completed audits in at least 21 instances, creating the illusion that it followed relevant requirements when there was no evidence of it doing so. For nine clients with operations in China, Deloitte's US office also outsourced its audit work to Deloitte China.

Controversies

Australian tobacco industry
In 2011, Deloitte was commissioned by the tobacco industry to compile a report on illicit tobacco. The Australian Customs and Border Protection Service officials called the report "potentially misleading", and raised concerns about the "reliability and accuracy" of the data. When a second Deloitte report focusing on counterfeit cigarettes was released, Home Affairs Minister Brendan O'Connor described the second report as "baseless and deceptive" and "bogus". Public health officials criticised Deloitte's decision to conduct the research, as it added credibility to the tobacco industry's effort to undermine the Australian Government's plain cigarette packaging legislation.

COVID-19 vaccine website and patent infringement
Deloitte was awarded a $44 million no-bid contract by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States to build a website to manage scheduling, inventory, and reporting for COVID-19 vaccination. However, the website functioned poorly, leading very few states to adopt it for their vaccination management.

In August 2020 a patent attorney for Tiffany Tate, the executive director of the Multi-State Partnership for Prevention (MSPP), issued a cease and desist letter accusing Deloitte and the CDC of stealing Tate's intellectual property for a mass vaccination tracker for use in tracking vaccinations for COVID-19. Tate earlier had demonstrated software to the CDC that would help automate key aspects of delivering mass vaccinations. Deloitte was present during that presentation and was identified by the CDC as a consultant. Eventually Deloitte received the technical specifications of the software. At the time that Tate demonstrated the software, the CDC indicated that it "did not have a workflow for handling vaccine distribution". Less than one week later the CDC announced its intention to build tracking software. Under the Trump administration the CDC awarded a no bid contract to Deloitte to build a vaccine administration management system, even though MSPP had offered such a system at a lower price. Later the CDC awarded a second contract to Deloitte, with both contracts totaling 43.9 million. Tate's attorney said that Deloitte's system "has the identical structure, mirrors the functionality, and duplicates the same features" as MSPP's system. The attorney also commented that Deloitte tried to hire Ms. Tate to work on the project.

E-mail hack
In September 2017, The Guardian reported that Deloitte suffered a cyberattack that breached the confidentiality of its clients and 244,000 staff, allowing the attackers to access "usernames, passwords, IP addresses, architectural diagrams for businesses and health information". Reportedly, Deloitte had stored the affected data in Microsoft's Azure cloud hosting service, without two-step verification. The attackers were thought to possibly have had access from as early as October 2016. Brian Krebs reported that the breach affected all of Deloitte's email and administrative user accounts. A later report by The Wall Street Journal repeated Deloitte's statement that only a few clients were affected. Deloitte said that neither its services nor its clients' businesses were disrupted. Deloitte reportedly first noticed suspicious activity in April 2017. Deloitte said that no sensitive information was compromised and that its investigators were eventually able to read every email obtained by the hackers.

In October 2017, The Guardian reported that client accounts compromised in the breach included, but were not limited to, the US Department of Defense, the US Department of Homeland Security, the US State Department, the US Department of Energy, mortgage companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the US Postal Service. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac issued statements saying they were not affected by the attack and denied that any of their data was compromised.

Deloitte said that it immediately contacted legal authorities and six clients. Deloitte also increased security measures on the advice of both internal and external experts. As of October 2017, the New York attorney general's office was investigating the hack.

Carillion
Deloitte had acted as internal auditor at construction and services giant Carillion before it went into liquidation in January 2018. The "excoriating" and "damning" (The Guardian) final report of the Parliamentary inquiry into Carillion's collapse was published on 16 May 2018, and criticised Deloitte for its involvement in the company's financial reporting practices:
"Deloitte were responsible for advising Carillion's board on risk management and financial controls, failings in the business that proved terminal. Deloitte were either unable to identify effectively to the board the risks associated with their business practices, unwilling to do so, or too readily ignored them."

The select committee chairs (Frank Field and Rachel Reeves) called for a complete overhaul of Britain's corporate governance regime, accusing the big four accounting firms of operating as a "cosy club". Deloitte said it was "disappointed" with the committees' conclusions regarding its role as internal auditors, but would take on board any lessons that could be learned from Carillion's collapse.

US unemployment portals
Deloitte Consulting has been heavily involved in building unemployment insurance web portals across various US states, including Ohio, Colorado and Illinois. In May 2020, following a wave of applications resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, it was revealed that major security weaknesses existed in the web portals of these states. Personal information of unemployed applicants, including addresses and social security numbers, was exposed and viewable by the public. Following the revelation, proposed class actions were filed against the company.

The controversy follows similar short-fallings in Florida's unemployment portal. The CONNECT site, designed by Deloitte, was described as a "colossal failure" as it was created over-budget, delivered late, and did not work. Again, individuals laid off during the COVID pandemic were particularly vulnerable as they were out of jobs and unable to receive unemployment assistance. In May 2020, an investigation was ordered by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

Sponsorships
Deloitte LLP serves as the official professional services sponsor of the United States Olympic Committee since 2009. The UK member firm of Deloitte was a sponsor of the 2012 Summer Olympics and the Royal Opera House. The Canadian member firm was also the official professional services supplier for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games and 2010 Winter Paralympic Games. In Asia, the Singapore member firm of Deloitte was a sponsor of the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics. The Australian member firm of Deloitte is a Founding Partner of Invictus Games Sydney 2018, and a Principal from the firms Consulting practice is CEO of the not-for-profit entity delivering the Games.

Moreover, Deloitte sponsors many university sports teams and societies, such as Edinburgh University Hockey Club. It also entered into a 3-year partnership with the Cambridge Union Society in November 2013. Deloitte has also delved into motorsport sponsorship, with the team currently acting as the title sponsor for the No. 37 TOM'S Toyota Supra team as TGR Team Deloitte TOM'S in the 2023 Super GT series.

In May 2017, Deloitte entered into a partnership with McLaren Applied Technologies (MAT) to combine Deloitte's experience in delivering large consulting projects and MAT's experience of engineering, sensors, simulation and analytical analysis. Prior to this, MAT had entered into a similar partnership with competitor KPMG in a ten-year deal in 2014 but it was terminated by KPMG in 2017. The partnership was later extended to MAT sister company McLaren Racing in June 2020 where Deloitte will work with McLaren to enhance the performance of the team and its cars. In May 2023, Deloitte and McLaren Racing signed a multi-year partnership extension.

In May 2022, Deloitte signed a three-year sponsorship deal worth more than USD300,000 with the Football Association of Singapore to be the first title sponsor of the Singapore Women's Premier League as the Deloitte Women's Premier League.

حَرْشَةٌ أو الحَرْشَةُ هي أُكلة مغربيّة تُعدّ من السميد والزيت والملح والخميرة، وتُطهى فوق مقلاة ساخنة، حيثُ تحظى بشهرة واسعةٍ جدًا وتُباع في معظم إن لم يكن كلّ المحلبات والدكاكين والمقاهي وحتى في المخابز العصرية. تُعتبر الحَرْشَةُ وجبة دسمة للإفطار الصباحي كما يُمكن تناولها في المساء رفقةَ كوبٍ من الشاي أو القهوة أو أيّ مشروب آخر يُناسبها.

التحضير
تُعدّ الحرشة المغربية من التالي:

 كأسٌ من الزيت
 500 غرام من الطحين
 خَمَّارَتَانِ
 فاني
 كأسٌ من سنيدة (السُّكر المدقوق)
 كأسٌ من عصير ليمون
 كأسٌ من الدقيق

يُوضعُ في إناء البيض كلٌ من السكر والزيت والفاني ثمّ يتمّ تحريكُ هذا الخليطِ بالمعلقة قبل إضافةِ كأسٍ من عصير الليمون وسنيدة والدقيق وكذا الخميرة ثم يُحرّك الخليط مجددًا حتّى التجانس والتماسك. يتمّ هدن المَقْلَى بالزبدة أو بأيّ شيء آخر لزج منعًا لترسّب الخليط الذين يُوضع في الفرن على حرارة متوسطة إلى أن يُصبح لونه أسفر مائلٌ للذهبيّ.

Hetelingen ist eine wüst gefallene Siedlung nahe der B 188 rund 5 km östlich von Burgdorf in Niedersachsen. Sie gehört zu einer Reihe von Ortswüstungen rings um Burgdorf, die im Mittelalter wüst fielen.

Beschreibung
Geschichtliche Überlieferungen zur früheren Siedlung, wie Gründungsjahr oder Zeitpunkt der Aufgabe, sind nicht bekannt. Archäologische Ausgrabungen förderten Gebäudeschutt und Keramik des 14. Jahrhunderts zu Tage. Außerdem wurde eine aus Muschelkalk geschlagene Plastik einer Madonna gefunden. Eine weitere gefundene Figur bestand aus Sandstein. Die gefundenen sakralen Gegenstände weisen darauf hin, dass sich an dieser Stelle eine Kirche befunden hat, die wahrscheinlich Anfang des 15. Jahrhunderts aufgegeben wurde.

Überreste

Die Wüstung liegt im Waldgebiet des Burgdorfer Holzes. Von der früheren Ansiedlung ist im Gelände eine kreisrunde Erhebung von etwa 50 Metern Durchmesser sichtbar, die von einem Forstweg durchschnitten ist. Die Erhebung ist von einem kleinen Wall und teilweise von einer Vertiefung umgeben, in der früher ein Gewässer floss. Die Stelle trägt den geschichtlich überlieferten Namen Hehlen Kirchhof, was auf das frühere kirchliche Gebäude hinweist. Um die Kirche herum lagen die früheren Gebäude der Siedlung, von denen im Gelände noch flache Erhebungen sichtbar sind. Im weiteren Umkreis finden sich im Wald Erdwälle, bei denen es sich um Einhegungen für Vieh oder Pflanzgärten gehandelt haben könnte.

Heute befindet sich innerhalb des Walls eine Informationstafel. Auf dem Boden liegen zwei größere Findlingssteine, die mit Inschriften auf den Standort der dort vorhandenen Kirche hinweisen.

No se debe confundir con Liliolo, obispo de Pamplona por las mismas fechas.
Liliolo o Lilliolo fue obispo de Acci a finales del siglo VI.

Consta su asistencia al III Concilio de Toledo celebrado el año 589 durante el reinado de Recaredo, en el que firmó entre los últimos obispos, lo que le supone haber sido uno de los de menor antigüedad en la dignidad episcopal, consagrado hacia 586. Mantenía la sede en el año 594, como se deduce de la interpretación epigráfica de una lápida que conmemora la consagración de tres iglesias erigidas "en el lugar de Natívola" por encargo de un noble llamado Gundiliuva; la lápida se conserva actualmente en el museo de la Alhambra de Granada.

Dark Ballet est un single du  studio de Madonna, Madame X, dont elle est la deuxième piste.

Il est sorti le 7 juin 2019 en tant que deuxième single promotionnel de l'album. Écrite et produite par Madonna et son collaborateur de longue date Mirwais, la chanson contient un sample de Casse-Noisette (1892) de Piotr Ilitch Tchaïkovski, et a été inspirée par la figure historique Jeanne d'Arc. C'est une ballade expérimentale pop et électro-gospel pour piano, avec l'utilisation de vocoder sur sa voix et des paroles sur la rébellion contre le patriarcat.

« Dark Ballet » a reçu des critiques généralement positives de la part des critiques musicaux, qui l'ont considéré comme un point culminant de Madame X, ainsi que l'une des chansons les plus étranges et les plus expérimentales de Madonna.

Au Royaume-Uni, « Dark Ballet » a culminé à la  place du classement officiel des téléchargements. Un clip vidéo, réalisé par le réalisateur Emmanuel Adjei, est sorti le 7 juin 2019. Il met en vedette le rappeur Mykki Blanco jouant Jeanne d'Arc. Madonna a interprété pour la première fois « Dark Ballet » lors du Met Gala 2018, connu alors sous le nom de « Beautiful Game », et en tant que deuxième numéro de sa tournée Madame X Tour 2019-2020.

Contexte et composition

En 2017, Madonna a déménagé à Lisbonne, au Portugal, à la recherche d'une académie de football de premier plan pour son fils David, qui voulait devenir un joueur de football professionnel. Alors qu'elle vit en ville, elle commence à rencontrer des artistes, des peintres et des musiciens, qui l'invitent à des « séances de salon ». Lors de ces séances, ils apportaient de la nourriture, s'asseyaient autour de la table et les musiciens commençaient à jouer des instruments, chantant du fado et de la samba. Se retrouvant « connectée par la musique », la chanteuse décide de créer un album ; « J'ai trouvé ma tribu [à Lisbonne] et un monde magique de musiciens incroyables qui ont renforcé ma conviction que la musique à travers le monde est vraiment connectée et est l'âme de l'univers ».

Le 15 avril 2019, Madonna a révélé « Madame X » comme titre de l'album. Pour l'album, elle a travaillé avec Mirwais, son collaborateur de longue date, qui avait déjà travaillé sur ses albums Music (2000), American Life  (2003) et Confessions on a Dance Floor (2005), ainsi que Mike Dean, qui était producteur sur Rebel Heart  (2015) et Diplo.

« Dark Ballet » a été écrit et produit par Madonna et Mirwais, et échantillonne Casse-Noisette de Piotr Ilitch Tchaïkovski (1892). Il a été décrit comme une ballade expérimentale pop et électro-gospel piano, avec les voix utilisant un vocodeur, et des paroles qui traitent de la foi du chanteur et de « croisade à vie contre les forces patriarcales de la religion, du genre et de la célébrité ».

Dans le couplet d'ouverture, Madonna chante avec « une confiance énergique » la phrase « Je peux m'habiller comme un garçon / Je peux m'habiller comme une fille » et, d'un ton ironique, comment « notre monde est obsédé par la célébrité ». Après un intermède au piano, il se transforme en un fragment « sinistre » et « mutilé, glitching » de « La Danse des tuyaux de roseaux » de Casse-Noisette, dans lequel Madonna chante d'une voix robotique fortement éditée « Je ne dénoncerai pas les choses que j'ai dites/Je ne renoncerai pas à ma foi en mon doux Seigneur ».

Cette dernière partie, selon Stephen Thomas Erlewine d'AllMusic, évoque le film Orange mécanique de Stanley Kubrick de 1971. Madonna prononce alors la phrase « La tempête n'est pas dans l'air/elle est à l'intérieur de nous ». La chanson se termine avec les filles de Madonna, Stella et Estere, soufflant de l'air à travers leurs lèvres, simulant le vent. Madonna a déclaré que l'inspiration principale de la chanson était Jeanne d'Arc.

Lors d'une interview avec Rolling Stone, elle a expliqué que même après que Jeanne d'Arc ait remporté le combat contre les Anglais, les Français n'étaient pas contents et l'ont « jugée ». « Ils ont affirmé qu'elle était un homme, une lesbienne, une sorcière, et l'ont « brûlée sur le bûcher », bien qu'elle soit intrépide. Madonna a conclu : « J'admire ça » .

« Dark Ballet » est sorti le dernier single promotionnel de Madame X, le 7 juin 2019.

Réception
« Dark Ballet » a reçu des critiques généralement positives de la part des critiques musicaux.

 Stephen Thomas Erlewine d'AllMusic l'a considéré comme un « numéro inquiétant » et l'un des points forts de Madame X.
 El Hunt de NME a déclaré que c'était « aussi méchant et inquiétant que les moments les plus sombres de Ray of Light», et l'a comparé au single de 2002 de la chanteuse « Die Another Day».
 Sal Cinquemani de Slant Magazine a qualifié son thème lyrique de «kafkaïen». Toujours de Slant Magazine, Alexa Camp a salué le morceau pour être « ambitieux », ainsi que « un rappel de la magie farfelue que Madonna et Mirwais sont capables de cuisiner ensemble ».
 Jeremy Helligar de Variety l'a considéré, avec God Control, comme l'un des moments de Madame X où « la vraie bizarrerie s'installe », et « la Madonna la plus proche peut jamais venir à sa propre 'Bohemian Rhapsody' ».
 Robbie Barnett du Washington Blade, a écrit que c'était l'un des morceaux « les plus remarquables » de l'album, ainsi qu'une « déclaration audacieuse d'expression artistique extrême ».
 Écrivant pour Idolator, Mike Wass l'a qualifié de « peu lourd, mais néanmoins hypnotisant ».
 Dans une autre revue, Wass a déclaré qu'il s'agissait du single « le plus expérimental » de la chanteuse.
 Daniel Megarry du Gay Times l'a considérée comme « sans doute la plus bizarre » du catalogue de Madonna, ainsi que la cinquième meilleure chanson de Madame X.
 Pour Nicolas Hautman, de Us Weekly, c'est un « numéro sombre et glitchy ».
 Daniel Welsh du HuffPost a déclaré que « Dark Ballet » était la chanson la plus étrange de l'album, où la chanteuse « profite de l'occasion pour faire savoir à ses détracteurs que peu importe ce qui lui est lancé, elle ne reculera pas ».
 Louise Bruton de The Irish Times, a déclaré que la chanson est « une position expérimentale contre l'autoritarisme ».
 Johnny Coleman, de The Hollywood Reporter, a noté que Madonna « fait une impression décente de Wendy Carlos » sur « Dark Ballet ».
 Sean Maunier, de Metro Weekly, l'a qualifié de « piste étrange et contagieuse ».
 Jaime Tabberer, de Gay Star News, l'a comparé aux précédents singles de Madonna "Human Nature" (1995) et " What It Feels Like for a Girl" (2001), car les trois chansons dégagent « la même attitude féroce » et abordent les thèmes de la discrimination et du sexisme.
 Michael Arceneaux de NBC News l'a qualifié de « bizarrerie » de l'album.
 Sur une critique négative, Rich Juzwiak de Pitchfork a déclaré que « la morosité 808 de 'Dark Ballet''' [...] est horrible ».
 Mark Kennedy du Chicago Sun-Times a écrit que la chanson « commence assez prometteuse mais dérive dans une pile modifiée par ordinateur de slogans confus et inutiles ».

Au Royaume-Uni, « Dark Ballet » a culminé à la  place du classement officiel des téléchargements la semaine du 14 juin.

 Clip vidéo
Le clip de « Dark Ballet » est sorti le 7 juin 2019 et a été réalisé par le réalisateur néerlando-ghanéen Emmanuel Adjei. Il mettait en vedette le rappeur américain Mykki Blanco jouant le rôle d'une Jeanne d'Arc transgenre qui se brûle sur le bûcher. Madonna a rencontré Blanco par l'intermédiaire du producteur Mike Dean et s'est intéressée à travailler avec elle. Après l'avoir contactée, Blanco s'est envolé pour Londres et l'a rencontrée chez elle. Elle lui a fait écouter une version finale de l'album et lui a demandé de représenter Jeanne d'Arc dans la vidéo. Blanco est ouvertement gay et séropositif, et Madonna a senti qu'elle pouvait s'identifier aux luttes de Joan; « Si vous aviez existé comme vous à son époque, vous auriez également été brûlée sur le bûcher », lui a-t-elle dit. Selon Blanco, Madonna a servi de co-réalisatrice et a même travaillé sur la chorégraphie, la cinématographie et la conception des costumes, mais n'a pas été créditée. Le 5 juin, elle a partagé deux aperçus de la vidéo sur son compte Instagram : l'un la montrait portant un voile, entrecoupé d'iconographie religieuse, tandis que l'autre représentait Blanco brûlé.

La vidéo s'ouvre sur une citation de Jeanne d'Arc : « Une vie est tout ce que nous avons et nous la vivons comme nous croyons en la vivant. Mais sacrifier ce que l'on est et vivre sans croyance, c'est un destin plus terrible que de mourir ». Raconté dans un récit non linéaire, il commence avec Blanco retenu captif dans une cellule de pierre, elle porte une robe blanche sale avec ses poignets liés. Elle est ensuite conduite par des ecclésiastiques « au visage de pierre » jusqu'à son exécution alors qu'elle chante sur les paroles. Blanco est ensuite vu en train de danser, d'abord dans une cathédrale vêtu d'un corset en or, semblable à celui que Madonna portait lors de son Blond Ambition World Tour (1990), suppliant les hommes de l'épargner, puis à un autel. Le dernier plan est celui d'une Blanco nue, la tête rasée, brûlée sur le bûcher tandis qu'une bande de religieuses voilées, dont Madonna, regardent d'en bas. La vidéo se termine par une citation « inspirante » de Blanco : « J'ai marché sur cette terre, noire, queer et séropositive, mais aucune transgression contre moi n'a été aussi puissante que l'espoir que je garde en moi ».

Il a reçu des critiques positives de la part des critiques. Althea Legaspi de Rolling Stone, l'a qualifié de « cinématographique ». Alexa Camp a noté un plan « clignez des yeux et vous le manquerez » du film de Carl Theodor Dreyer de 1928 « La Passion de Jeanne d'Arc »  au tout début. Elle a également vu des similitudes avec la vidéo de Madonna de 1989 pour Like a Prayer, « en particulier dans l'utilisation de l'imagerie religieuse et l'histoire tournant autour d'une personne noire persécutée ». Camp a conclu qu'en présentant une personne de couleur et non elle-même comme « l'opprimé », Madonna soulignait « l'impact disproportionné du patriarcat sur les minorités ». Pour Justin Moran de Paper, « la version [de Mykki Blanco] de Jeanne d'Arc reflète la façon dont son propre quotidien savoure l'entre-deux », soulignant également l'absence de la chanteuse dans la vidéo. Mike Wass a salué la vidéo comme un « cauchemar gothique » et « étrange ». Selon Chloe Melas de CNN, la vidéo était « une nouvelle preuve que Madonna n'a jamais eu peur de repousser les limites ».

En juin 2019, il a été nommé par Billboard comme l'un des « 20 meilleurs clips vidéo de 2019 (jusqu'à présent) ».

 Performances en direct
Madonna a interprété pour la première fois « Dark Ballet », connu alors sous le nom de « Beautiful Game », au Met Gala 2018. Après avoir chanté « Like a Prayer » et une reprise de «Hallelujah» de Leonard Cohen, elle a commencé à chanter la chanson vêtue d'un corset et d'un accessoire de bras métallique, ses cheveux ont été tressés et séparés au centre.

Plusieurs danseurs, portant des costumes similaires, ont exécuté une chorégraphie qui semblait contrôler et restreindre ses mouvements. Un fragment de « Dark Ballet » a été inclus lors de la performance de Madonna de "Future" et « Like a Prayer » au Concours Eurovision de la chanson 2019. La chanson a ensuite été incluse dans le Madame X Tour de la chanteuse (de 2019 à 2020), où elle était la deuxième chanson de la setlist. La performance comportait « des références à Jeanne d'Arc, des vêtements religieux et des batailles avec des danseurs portant des masques à gaz rappelant les souris dans Casse-Noisette», ainsi qu'une panne de ballet à mi-chemin. À un moment donné, la chanteuse se fait pousser d'un piano par l'un des danseurs. Joe Lynch de Billboard a fait l'éloge du « mélange convaincant d'iconographie chrétienne et d'apparat païen »'' du numéro.

Le 8 octobre 2021, Madonna est apparue lors du Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon pour promouvoir le film de la tournée Madame X et plus tard, elle a fait une performance surprise à Harlem en chantant « Dark Ballet », « Crazy », « Sodade » et "La Isla Bonita" au Red Rooster, et plus tard a marché dans les rues en chantant "Like a Prayer" devant l'église épiscopale St. Andrew.

Produção

Desenvolvimento
Em 1992, John B. Carls formou uma produtora de filmes familiares, Wild Things Productions, com Maurice Sendak, escritor e ilustrador de Where the Wild Things Are. Eles adquiriram os direitos de outros livros infantis, incluindo Harold and the Purple Crayon e cujo autor, Crockett Johnson, foi mentor de Sendak. Sendak e Denise Di Novi seriam os produtores. Por volta de 1994, Michael Tolkin foi contratado para escrever o roteiro e Henry Selick para ser o diretor, mas Selick passou para James and the Giant Peach (1996). Carls escolheu Spike Jonze para desenvolver o filme, que seria uma mistura de live-action com animação. Um orçamento de US$ 25 milhões a quase US$ 50 milhões foi mencionado na imprensa. David O. Russell foi trazido para ajudar nas reescritas. O roteiro, a escalação do elenco, storyboards e trabalho de animação haviam começado, mas Jonze teve que abandonar o projeto depois de mais de um ano trabalhando nele quando a nova administração da TriStar Pictures (que distribuiria o filme) o interrompeu, dois meses antes das filmagens começarem.

Em fevereiro de 2010, foi relatado que a Columbia Pictures, Sony Pictures Animation e a Overbrook Entertainment estavam desenvolvendo uma adaptação cinematográfica de Harold and the Purple Crayon em animação digital, a ser produzida por Will Smith e James Lassiter, e escrita por Josh Klausner. Em dezembro de 2016, foi relatado que o filme também seria escrito por Dallas Clayton.

Em 1º de fevereiro de 2021, foi anunciado que Zachary Levi estrelaria o filme, que novamente seria produzido em live-action. Também foi anunciado que a dupla de roteiristas David Guion e Michael Handelman haviam substituído Klausner e Clayton, com John Davis como produtor através da Davis Entertainment. Em 11 de janeiro de 2022, Lil Rey Howery foi adicionado ao elenco, e foi anunciado que Carlos Saldanha seria o diretor do filme. Entre fevereiro e maio de 2022, Zooey Deschanel, Ravi Patel, Camille Guaty, Tanya Reynolds e Pete Gardner foram adicionados ao elenco.

Filmagens
Por volta do início de 2022, as filmagens do filme começaram na área de Atlanta, Geórgia.

Música
A trilha sonora do filme foi composta por Batu Sener.

Lançamento
Harold and the Purple Crayon está agendado para ser lançado em 2 de agosto de 2024 nos Estados Unidos, pela Sony Pictures Releasing. Ele foi provisoriamente agendado para 27 de janeiro de 2023 e 30 de junho de 2023.

Marketing
A Sony Pictures exibiu cenas do filme na CinemaCon em abril de 2022.

En el año de 2010, presentaba 2 vías de circulación, ambas con 301 metros de longitud; las dos plataformas poseían ambas 301 metros de extensión y 90 centímetros de altura.

En agosto de 2010, esta plataforma era utilizada apenas por convoyes Urbanos de la división de Urbanos de Porto de la empresa Comboios de Portugal.

Historia
El Ramal de Braga abrió a la explotación en 1875. La estación fue modernizada en 2002, siendo el antiguo edificio dejado sin ninguna utilidad; en octubre de 2009, la Coalición Juntos por Tadim criticó el estado de degradación en que el edificio se encontraba, y defendió su rehabilitación y aprovechamiento para otros usos.
