11,097,960 | Sabbath | In Abrahamic religions, the Sabbath () or Shabbat (from Hebrew שַׁבָּת Šabbāṯ) is a day set aside for rest and worship.

The practice of observing the Sabbath (Shabbat) originates in the biblical commandment "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy". The Sabbath is observed in Judaism, Sabbatarian forms of Christianity (such as some Protestant and Eastern denominations) and Islam. Observances similar to, or descended from, the Sabbath also exist in other religions. | [

43,272,706 | Product ecosystem theory | Product ecosystem theory is an emerging theory that describes how the design of manufactured products evolves over time and draws parallels with how species evolve within a natural ecosystem. Fundamental to this theory is that manufactured product lines respond to external threats and opportunities in much the same way that species respond to threats and opportunities. Competition and other environmental pressures may cause a species to become extinct. An example of the parallel in consumer products is the way in which the typewriter became displaced (or extinct) due to pressures from the personal computer. Products lines can be seen to incrementally change and branch over time following the principle of phyletic gradualism. | [

66,803,667 | Murder in Kinshasa | Murder in Kinshasa is a 2011 Al Jazeera investigative film suggesting that Congolese president Laurent-Désiré Kabila was assassinated in 2001 through the efforts of the Rwandan government, with the backing of the United States. According to the film, international disputes over mineral and natural resources led to Kabila's assassination. The film argues that Eddy Kapend and the dozens of guards who were convicted and sentenced to death — in a trial criticized by human rights organizations — played no part in Kabila's death. Murder in Kinshasa was directed and edited by journalists Arnaud Zajtman and Marlène Rabaud. In 2021, Étienne Tshisekedi's son, Congolese president Félix Tshisekedi, released Kapend and 23 others from prison for what they said were humanitarian reasons. | [

78,297 | Louis VI of France | Louis VI (late 1081 – 1 August 1137), called the Fat (French: le Gros) or the Fighter (French: le Batailleur), was King of the Franks from 1108 to 1137. Like his father Philip I, Louis made a lasting contribution to centralizing the institutions of royal power. He spent much of his twenty-nine-year reign fighting either the "robber barons" who plagued the Ile de France or Henry I of England for his continental possession of Normandy. Nonetheless, Louis VI managed to reinforce his power considerably, often resorting to force to bring lawless knights to justice, and was the first member of the house of Capet to issue ordonnances applying to the whole of the kingdom of France. Louis was a warrior-king, but by his forties his weight had become so great that it was increasingly difficult for him to lead in the field (hence the epithet "le Gros"). | [
