Pavle Đurišić

Pavle Đurišić (1909–1945) was a Royal Yugoslav Army officer who became a Chetnik leader during World War II. He was a commander of a popular uprising in July 1941 against the Italians who occupied Montenegro, then collaborated with the Italians against the Yugoslav Partisans. On 13 February 1943, he wrote to Draža Mihailović, the Chetnik supreme commander, reporting that his men had killed about 1,200 Bosnian Muslim combatants and 8,000 women, children and elderly people in Montenegro and eastern Bosnia. Soon after, Đurišić and his troops participated in an anti-Partisan offensive alongside Italian troops. Captured by the Germans in May 1943, he escaped and was recaptured. Released after the Italian surrender, he began collaborating with the Germans and the Serbian puppet government. In 1944 he was decorated by the German commander in Montenegro. Đurišić was killed by the Armed Forces of the Independent State of Croatia near Banja Luka after he was captured in April 1945. (Full article...)

The National Football League (NFL) rushing title is won by the player who has recorded the most rushing yards for a season. A rush, also known as a running play, generally occurs when the quarterback hands or tosses the ball backwards to the running back, but other players, such as the quarterback, can run with the ball. Since the adoption of the 14-game season in 1961, all but one rushing champion have recorded over 1,000 yards rushing. Eight rushing champions have recorded over 2,000 rushing yards, a feat first accomplished by O. J. Simpson in 1973 and most recently achieved by Derrick Henry in 2020. The player with the most rushing titles is Jim Brown (pictured), who was the rushing champion eight times over his career. Eric Dickerson, Emmitt Smith, O. J. Simpson, Steve Van Buren, and Barry Sanders are tied for the second-most rushing titles, each having won four times. (Full list...)

Integrated circuit with wire bonding

Wire bonding is the method of making interconnections between an integrated circuit or other semiconductor device and its packaging during semiconductor device fabrication. This macro photograph depicts an integrated circuit that functions as an intermediate-frequency amplifier and demodulator in a transceiver, with gold wire ball-bonded on a silicon die.
