The Aston Martin Rapide is an executive
sports saloon car that was produced by the British carmaker
Aston Martin between 2010 and 2020. Development of the car commenced in 2005, and after about two months, a
concept car, called the Rapide, was completed and displayed at the
North American International Auto Show in 2006. In 2009, three years after the concept's unveiling, the production version debuted at the
International Motor Show Germany. Official manufacture of the car began on 7 May 2010, at
Magna Steyr's facility in
Graz, Austria, but production was shifted to
Gaydon, Warwickshire, in 2012 after Aston Martin received funding from the
British government. Over its production run, the Rapide received two major updates, with the introduction of the Rapide S (pictured) in 2013 and the Rapide AMR in 2018. A
battery electric version of the Rapide, called the Rapide E, was introduced in 2018 but Aston Martin announced in 2020 that it would not be
series produced. (Full article...)

The Armenian Genocide was the
Ottoman government's systematic extermination of 1.5 million
Armenians, most of whom were Ottoman citizens. It took place during and after
World War I. Historians date the start to 24 April 1915, when the Ottoman authorities rounded up, arrested, and deported
235 to 270 Armenian intellectuals and community leaders from
Constantinople (now Istanbul) to the region of
Ankara. The majority of them were eventually murdered. The authorities carried out the genocide in two phases—the wholesale killing of the able-bodied male population through massacre and subjection of army conscripts to
forced labour, followed by the deportation of women, children, the elderly, and the infirm on
death marches leading to the
Syrian Desert. Driven forward by military escorts, the deportees were deprived of food and water and subjected to periodic robbery, rape, and massacre.
This map shows the routes by which the government deported Armenians, and the largest massacre sites.
