title: The Wounded Cuirassier

text:
The Wounded Cuirassier (French: Le Cuirassier blessé quittant le feu) is an oil painting of a single anonymous soldier descending a slope with his nervous horse by the French Romantic painter and lithographer Théodore Géricault (1791–1824). In this 1814 Salon entry, Géricault decided to turn away from scenes of heroism in favor of a subject that is on the losing side of the battle. On display in the aftermath of France's disastrous military campaign in Russia, this life-size painting captured the feeling of a nation in defeat. There are no visible wounds on the figure, and the title has sometimes been interpreted to refer to soldier's injured pride. The painting stood in stark contrast with Géricault's Charging Chasseur, as it didn't focus on glory or the spectacle of battle. Only his Signboard of a Hoofsmith, which is currently in a private collection, bears any resemblance in form or function to this painting.

The final salon version of The Wounded Cuirassier is at the Musée du Louvre and the smaller, study version, is located at the Brooklyn Museum.

Artist and Setting
Théodore Géricault was born in Rouen, France in 1791 and studied art in the classroom from a young age. He went on to study in Paris where he created his first major work, The Charging Chasseur, for the Paris Salon of 1812. His next major Salon submission was The Wounded Cuirassier in 1814.

In the months before the exhibition, Paris fell to the sixth coalition and Napoleon was defeated and exiled from France. After The Wounded Cuirassier received a negative response from critics, Géricault entered a long period of artistic study, and in 1816 he left France to find inspiration in Rome.

Creation
Géricault rushed to make The Wounded Cuirassier in only three weeks and created five separate sketches and drafts before the final version. Perhaps as a result of its hurried production, the message of the painting was not entirely clear to critics.

Style and Composition
Géricault uses a similar style and technique to his previous works, yet his approach to battle painting was unique in the period. He elected not to show a wound on the soldier, perhaps suggesting to viewers that the wound is internal and extends to the nation. The soldier and horse are shown in a tense and vulnerable state; the soldier uses his sword as a sort of crutch. Géricault also used the horse to convey emotion. In The Wounded Cuirassier, he uses the horse's facial expressions and uneasy footing to emphasize the unsteadiness and terror of the soldier.

title: Aphaenogaster oligocenica

text:
Aphaenogaster oligocenica is an extinct species of ant in the subfamily Myrmicinae known from a pair of Middle Eocene fossils found in Europe. A. oligocenica is one of three species in the ant genus Aphaenogaster to have been noted from fossils found in Baltic amber by William Morton Wheeler.

History and classification
When first examined, Aphaenogaster oligocenica was described from a single type specimen worker, with a second specimen being noted as probably belonging to the species, but too obscured by white mold growth in the fossil to be confirmed. Both of the specimen ants are fossilized as inclusions in transparent chunks of Baltic amber.  Baltic amber is approximately 46 million years old, having been deposited during the Lutetian stage of the Middle Eocene.  There is debate over the plant family which produced the amber, with evidence supporting relatives of either an Agathis or a Pseudolarix. When first described, the type worker was part of the University of Königsberg amber collection as specimen number B5461, and the possible second fossil was specimen number B18570.  The fossils were first studied by Wheeler, then a paleoentomologist with Harvard University, who placed the species in the genus Aphaenogaster. Wheeler's 1915 type description of the new species was published in the journal Schriften der Physikalisch-Okonomischen Gesellschaft zu Konigsberg.

In his 1915 paper Wheeler noted that alongside A. oligocenica, two other Aphaenogaster species are known from European amber fossils A. mersa, and A. sommerfeldti.  A third northern European amber species, A. antiqua, was described in 2009, and the authors of the 2009 paper noted a second confirmed A. oligocenica specimen which had been identified during their study.  While both A. oligocenica and A. sommerfeldti are known from Baltic and Bitterfeld amber, A. mersa has only been found in Baltic amber and A. antiqua in Rovno amber.

Description
The type worker of A. oligocenica has an approximate body length of , with a large gaster and long legs. Overall A. oligocenica can be distinguished from the related Baltic amber species A. sommerfeldti in several ways.  A. sommerfeldti individuals have a more sloped and curved  mesonotum with the epinotum showing more tooth-like projections on the surface than seen in of A. oligocenica. The head capsule of A. oligocenica has rugose structuring which displays a reticulation on the rear of the capsule, transitioning to lengthwise striations from the region of the eyes forward.  On the thorax and epinotum the striations are well pronounced and placed further apart than those on the head.

In a review of Midnite's 2014 album Beauty for Ashes, Midnight Raver stated that reggae fans are now living in the "I-Grade era," citing the label's dominance and influence on reggae over the past two decades:"We are now living in the “I-Grade era” of the reggae timescale.  For nearly two decades now, reggae fans have witnessed not only a geographical transmigration of the cultural and spiritual core of reggae from Jamaica to Europe and the U.S., but also a fundamental transformation in the sound and style of production.   No one has done more to force this change than Laurent “Tippy I” Alfred, owner and purveyor of the signature I-Grade sound – a modern sound characterized by an authentic and profound spiritual intensity, overtly Rastafarian and Pan-Africanist thematic elements that give the music a deeply reverential and ceremonial feel, multi-layered percussive and horns-driven soundscapes, and a well-balanced mix where keys and hand-drumming are given equal billing with the bass and drum."In its list of the Top 50 Reggae Albums of the 2K, Midnight Raver placed Midnite's Beauty for Ashes at No. 3 and Jubilees of Zion'' at No. 1.

title: Burnham & Berrow Golf Club

text:
Burnham & Berrow Golf Club is a 27-hole members golf club in Somerset, England which has hosted many of the leading amateur golf tournaments in Britain, including the Brabazon Trophy and English Amateur.

History
The club was first opened as Burnham Golf Club on a 9-hole layout designed by Charles Gibson, however the club was extended to an 18-hole layout by William Herbert Fowler by 1910 and was renamed to its current name of Burnham & Berrow Golf Club. Even in its early years the course began to host high-level amateur tournaments hosting the British Ladies Amateur Golf Championship in 1906.

In 1913 a further redesign of the course was made by Harry Colt which redesigned the course into much of the layout that currently still stands, the work on this redesign was completed in 1923. Following the redesigns the club would go on to host the British Ladies Amateur Golf Championship again in 1923 and 1938 and the 1930 English Amateur.

The first professional at the club was John Henry Taylor, who would later go on to win 5 Open Championships and captain Great Britain at the 1933 Ryder Cup.

Following World War II the golf club struggled financially and was forced to sell some land and redesign several holes as a result. However, despite these difficulties it continued to attract some of Britain's top amateur competitions, including the 1956 Brabazon Trophy and the English Amateur in 1952, 1963 and 1971.

Having recovered financially, the 9-hole Channel course was designed by Fred Hawtree and built in 1977, bringing the total number of holes available to members up to the present-day number of 27.

In more recent years the championship course has continued to host several top amateur competitions. It has hosted the Brabazon Trophy a further 2 times in 1990 and 2006 and the English Amateur a further 2 times in 1981 and 2006. The championship course has also hosted to 1999 Jacques Léglise Trophy and the 2011 Boys Amateur Championship (alongside Enmore Park Golf Club) at Junior level.

Courses and scorecards

Championship course
The championship course is a full 18-hole links course and is the course on which all of the major competitions hosted by the club have been played. The scorecard for the championship course is as follows (all distances given in yards):

Channel Course
The Channel Course is an 18-hole course with nine greens. Each hole has 2 separate tee positions, one of which is used on each loop of nine. The course is a 5,819-yard par-70 off the men's white tees and a 5,038-yard par-70 of the women's tees.

Competitions hosted

English Men's Open Amateur Stroke Play Championship (Brabazon Trophy)
The club has hosted the English Men's Open Amateur Stroke Play Championship for the Brabazon Trophy on 3 occasions, with the following results:

English Amateur
The club has hosted the English Amateur on 6 occasions with the following results:

British Ladies Amateur Golf Championship
The club has hosted the British Ladies Amateur Golf Championship on 3 occasions, with the following results:

Jacques Léglise Trophy
The club hosted the Jacques Léglise Trophy amateur boys' team golf competition between Great Britain and Ireland and the Continent of Europe in 1999 with Great Britain and Ireland winning 15 points to 9.

Boys Amateur Championship
Burnham & Berrow has twice hosted the Boys Amateur Championship, with the following results

West of England Open Amateur Championship
The club annually hosts the West of England Open Amateur Championship, which is traditionally played in September and attracts many of the top amateur golfers from the region. It is now a world-ranking event, and boasts several recognizable names on the famous trophy.

title: SKA2

text:
Spindle and kinetochore-associated protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SKA2 gene found in chromosome 17. SKA2 is a part of a spindle and kinetochore associated complex also including SKA1 and SKA3 which is responsible for onset of the anaphase in mitosis by regulating chromosomal segregation.

SKA2 may function as a prognostic gene marker for identifying lung cancer as well as a proposed biomarker for suicidal tendencies and post-traumatic stress disorders. The SKA2 gene contains one single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs7208505 located in the 3' UTR. This genetic variant containing a cytosine (existing in the less common allele) instead of thymine along with epigenetic modification (such as DNA methylation) is correlated with suicidal tendencies and post-traumatic stress.

Discovery
SKA2 protein was first documented as a product of as hypothetical gene FAM33A part of a Spindle and Kinetochore (KT)- associated complex necessary for timely anaphase onset. SKA2 was identified as the partner of SKA1, hence the name in 2006. Later on the 3rd component of the SKA complex was mass spectrometrically identified as C13Orf3 later referred to as SKA3. This complex plays an important role in the cell during mitotic transition from the metaphase to the anaphase.

Protein structure and sub-cellular localization
SKA2 gene product is a 121 amino acid long chain and a molecular weight of 14,188 Da containing mainly 3 helices. Homologues of SKA2 protein being very small are found in several vertebrates but absent in invertebrates.
This protein mainly localizes in the condensed chromosome and to the outer spindle and kinetochore microtubules during mitosis. The SKA2 proteins localizes to the mitotic spindle and kinetochore associated proteins such as SKA1 and SKA3.

Function
The SKA2 is a part of the larger spindle and kinetochore complex which is a sub-complex of the outer kinetochore and binds to the microtubules. This complex is essential for the correctly timed onset of anaphase during mitosis by helping in the chromosomal segregation and aids in the movement of microspheres along a microtubule in a depolymerisation-coupled manner, since it is a direct component in the kinetochore-microtubule interface along with directly associating with the microtubules as assemblies.

A reduced expression of SKA2 results in the loss of the complex from the kinetochore, however this loss of SKA-complex does not affect the overall structure of the Kinetochore yet the fibres show increased cold-sensitivity due to the loss. The cell goes through a prolonged delay in a metaphase-like state. It has been concluded that SKA2 regulates the maintenance of the metaphase plate and silencing of the spindle checkpoint leading to the onset of anaphase during mitosis. SKA2 also interacts with the glucocorticoid receptor aiding in the chaperoning of the receptor in the nucleus.

Clinical significance

Suicidal tendencies and post-traumatic stress disorder
The DNA methylation of SKA2 gene and the Single-nucleotide polymorphism rs7208505 genotype may have effects on suicidal behaviour according to linear model suggested by a study in 2014. The genotype rs7208505 contains a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) containing a Cytosine variant allele instead of Thymine present in the common allele. This SNP allows the dinucleotide repeat (CpG) elements to occur providing a gene segment for methylation. Thus DNA methylation alone may be the primary factor conferring risk of suicidal behaviour.  A study of allele of rs7208505 in different ethnic groups along with numerous psychiatric diagnosis suggested that the variation in SKA2 may mediate risk for suicidal behaviours that progress to attempt to suicide.

Lung cancer
The SKA2 gene along with PRR11 gene as a pair is essential for the development of lung cancer. The pair of genes are separated by a 548 bp intergenic region, and having a classical head-to-head gene pair motif share a prototypical bidirectional promoter containing a common CCAAT element. This promoter is regulated by NF-Y is a sequence specific transcription factor and has long been considered an activator of genes since it contains particular properties suitable to regulate bidirectional promotor with the CCAAT box sequence. This bidirectional promoters couple expression of 2 genes (protein coding) involved in the same biochemical process to allow a synchronized temporal or environmental control.
The 2 genes SKA2 and PRR11 are vital for accelerated growth and motility of lung cancer cells and have prognostic value for patients. Along with SKA2, PRR11 also plays a major role in regulating cell cycle progression but from the late S phase to mitosis. Thus, having vital roles to play in cell cycle progression at different stages, SKA2 and PRR11 may co-ordinately regulate lung cancer proliferation by deregulation of cell cycle progression.
Since the transcription of SKA2 gene produces the protein coding mRNA SKA2 along with 2 other introns miRNA301a and miRNAA454, hence the function of the gene is not limited to production of a protein. These introns participate in tumorigenesis since miRNA301a regulates PTEN, NKRF, SMAD4 and PIAS3 and miRNAA454 targets SMAD4 playing an oncogenic role in human colon cancer.

title: Double lattice

text:
In mathematics, especially in geometry, a double lattice in  is a discrete subgroup of the group of Euclidean motions that consists only of translations and point reflections and such that the subgroup of translations is a lattice. The orbit of any point under the action of a double lattice is a union of two Bravais lattices, related to each other by a point reflection. A double lattice in two dimensions is a p2 wallpaper group. In three dimensions, a double lattice is a space group of the type , as denoted by international notation.

Double lattice packing

A packing that can be described as the orbit of a body under the action of a double lattice is called a double lattice packing. In many cases the highest known packing density for a body is achieved by a double lattice. Examples include the regular pentagon, heptagon, and nonagon and the equilateral triangular bipyramid.
Włodzimierz Kuperberg and Greg Kuperberg showed that all convex planar bodies can pack at a density of at least  by using a double lattice.

In a preprint released in 2016, Thomas Hales and Wöden Kusner announced a proof that the double lattice packing of the regular pentagon has the optimal density among all packings of regular pentagons in the plane. This packing has been used as a decorative pattern in China since at least 1900, and in this context has been called the "pentagonal ice-ray". , the proof of its optimality has not yet been refereed and published.

It has been conjectured that, among all convex shapes, the regular heptagon has the lowest packing density for its optimal double lattice packing, but this remains unproven.

title: Long Point Plantation (38CH321)

text:
Long Point Plantation (38CH321) is a historic plantation site located near Mount Pleasant, Charleston County, South Carolina.  The plantation was built sometime between 1719 and 1763, but it came of age during the 19th century. The plantation house and structures were probably built prior to 1763. The plantation was purchased by the prominent Venning family in 1800 and was held by that family until 1899.  The main house was apparently razed between 1933 and 1943. One small, brick structure is still standing at the site.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.

title: Emily Overholt

text:
Emily Overholt (born October 4, 1997) is a Canadian former competitive swimmer. She has won bronze medals at the Olympic Games and FINA World Aquatics Championships, as well as a silver at the Commonwealth Games and three Pan American Games medals. Overholt also won three gold and a silver at the 2013 Canada Games as a representative for British Columbia.

Career
Overholt began swimming at the age of 9 with the West Vancouver Otters. Her main inspiration for being a competitive swimmer was watching Michael Phelps during the 2008 Summer Olympics, while she states her overall sports inspiration is skater-cyclist Clara Hughes.

Overholt attended the 2013 Canada Games representing British Columbia as a 15-year-old competitor. There she won gold in the individual 200 m and 400 m medleys while adding a gold and a silver in the 400 m and 200 m freestyle respectively. She next won a bronze medal in the 400 m individual medley at the 2013 FINA World Junior Swimming Championships. Overholt's first major competitive podium finish came in Glasgow, Scotland as part of the 4×200 m freestyle relay at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, where she competed as a sixteen-year-old and helped the relay team win a silver medal. She also anchored the team that won a bronze medal in the 2014 Pan Pacific Swimming Championships.

During the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto, Overholt won three medals, including a gold in the 400-meter freestyle. The victory occurred less than a  day after she was disqualified of a gold medal in the 400 m medley for an illegal turn. After the Pan Am Games, Overholt practiced her turns heavily to ensure no similar problems at the 2015 World Aquatics Championships in Russia. There, Overholt won a bronze at the 400 m medley and beat the national record by more than three seconds.

Overholt attended Collingwood School. She has signed into the University of British Columbia for a degree in science, but deferred her studies and participation in the UBC Thunderbirds until after the 2016 Summer Olympics.

In 2016, she was officially named to Canada's Olympic team for the 2016 Summer Olympics. Despite being hampered by a hamstring injury, Overholt qualified for the 400 m medley final and finished fifth. Despite thinking her Olympic participation was over, when Brittany MacLean could not attend the 4 × 200 m relay qualifying heats due to illness, Overholt was called in to replace her and helped the team reach the finals. Canada went on to win a bronze medal.  After returning to Canada, Overholt struggled with heavy depression, being hospitalized until December, and only returned to competition in an UBC meet in January. She was then absent from the U Sports season and the Team Canada trials for the 2017 World Championship for not having fully overcome the hamstring injury. By November, Overholt was fully fit and swimming for the Thunderbirds. She has since won two straight U Sports swimming championships for the Thunderbirds, winning all four races she entered in the 2019 meet. In her return to the Pan Pacifics in Tokyo 2018, Overholt finished fifth in both the 400m freestyle and individual medley. In the 2019 World Aquatics Championships, Overholt finished fifth on the 400m medley and got a bronze in the 4 × 200 m relay.

In June 2021, Overholt announced she was retiring as even after undergoing surgery early in the year, her body had not recovered well enough for her to remain competitive. Earlier in the year, she missed the Olympic qualifying times for three races.

Francisco Rui (Ríos) y Morales   was a Spanish soldier who served as Commandant  Governor of Illinois (between 1767 and 1768).

Biography

title: Karl Friedrich Ludwig von Watzdorf

text:
Karl Friedrich Ludwig von Watzdorf (1 September 1759 – 16 May 1840) was a Saxon general and diplomat.
He was born in Plauen and fought in the French Revolutionary Wars from 1793 to 1796. When in 1806 Saxony supported Napoleon, he took part in battles on the French side.

Watzdorf was an envoy in 1812 and 1813 in Vienna, where he signed a treaty of alliance with Austria on behalf of Saxony, which no longer supported the French. He acted as an intermediary from 1813 to 1815 between Dresden and Berlin, where he was imprisoned by Saxon king Frederick Augustus I of Saxony. Unsuccessfully sought his release, then sent the same request to the rulers of Prussia, Russia, and Austria, also to no avail. He later toured London, Frankfurt, and Paris, arguing that Saxony was not an enemy of the victorious countries, and entered into an alliance with Napoleon of necessity. He gave a great contribution to restoring Saxon relations with coalition countries.

Later he was entrusted with the education of successors to the Saxon throne.

He served as envoy from 1827 to 1834 in Berlin, where in 1834 signed a customs contract with Prussia, upon which was built after the German Customs Union (Zollverein). In 1835, Watzdorf was appointed Minister of the Royal House. He died in Dresden.

Family
Watzdorf married Marie, Baroness von Sticks who died in 1800. In 1804 he married Charlotte Henriette Gräfin von Hopffgarten (died 1864). He had 3 daughters and three sons, of whom Anton a  Prussian lieutenant-colonel, fell at the Battle of Waterloo.

title: Jabal Zambar

text:
Jabal Zambar () is a large hill in the Tel Afar District of Nineveh Province of northern Iraq.
The name may also be rendered as Jabal or Jebel Sinbar, Zinbar or Zinbār, or Zambar Mountain.

Geography

Jebel Zambar is in a transitional folded zone between the alpinotype area to the northeast and the Arabian Shield to the southwest.
This area holds the major anticlinal structures between the Tigris and the Al-Tharthar basin.
The zone includes Jebel Sinjar, Jebel Sinu, Jebel Sasan, Jebel Zambar, Jebel Sheik Ibrahim and Jebel Adaiya.
The Jebels Zambar and Ibrahim are sometimes treated as one structure.

The Sanjar-Zambar mountain range includes the Teymurlenk (Tamerlane) hills, which contain the Turkmen city of Tal Afar.
Jabal Zambar is the highest point in the hilly area to the east of Tal Afar.
It is about  above sea level.
A shallow saddle to the northwest of Jebel Zambar divides it from the similar Jebel Sasan structure, which is about  in extent.

History

In the late 1930s Germans drilled wells on the Zambar and Qusair structures west of Mosul towards Sinjar.
A feasibility study of the Mosul Dam project was to include a study of irrigating the northern catchment area of the Tharthar depression.
This would include construction of a water supply tunnel under Jabal Zambar.
On 7 January 2006 twelve U.S, military personnel died when their UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter crashed on Zambar Mountain.

title: Rúben Neves

text:
Rúben Diogo da Silva Neves (born 13 March 1997) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal and the Portugal national team.

Neves started his career with Porto and made his first-team debut at the age of 17. He joined Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2017 for a reported transfer fee of £15.8 million. He made 253 appearances and scored 30 goals for them, winning the EFL Championship in his first season. In 2023, he signed for Al-Hilal for a fee of £47 million.

Neves made more than 60 appearances for Portugal's national youth teams. He made his senior international debut for Portugal at the age of 18 in 2015, and was part of their squad at Euro 2020 and the 2022 World Cup.

Club career

Porto

Born in Mozelos, Aveiro District, Neves grew up supporting FC Porto and joined the club's youth system at the age of eight. During his time with the academy, he also spent a season on loan at Padroense which acted as the under-16 team; on his time in the youth structures, reserve team manager Luís Castro described him as a player with "extraordinary mental qualities, to go along with technical and tactical skills".

Ahead of the 2014–15 season, Neves was earmarked to bypass Porto's under-19s and play with the reserves instead. Following an injury to teammate Mikel Agu, however, he was called by Julen Lopetegui to be part of the main squad's pre-season preparations. On 15 August 2014, aged 17 years and five months, he made his Primeira Liga debut where he started and scored in a 2–0 home win against Marítimo – in doing so, he became the youngest player in the club's history to score a goal in the competition. He played his first match in the UEFA Champions League five days later in a 1–0 win over Lille, and broke another record, previously held by Cristiano Ronaldo, by being the youngest Portuguese to appear in the tournament.

On 10 December 2014, during a Champions League group stage fixture against Shakhtar Donetsk, Neves suffered an injury to his right knee following a collision in midfield with Alex Teixeira. At the end of the game, the club explained that he suffered a sprain, with apparent damage to the internal lateral ligament. After spending nearly a month on the sidelines, he returned to the pitch in a 3–1 home win over União da Madeira in the Taça da Liga. Following his injury, his role in midfield was filled by Casemiro and he spent the majority of the remainder of the season behind the Brazilian in the pecking order.

On 20 October 2015, aged 18 years and 221 days, Neves became the youngest player to start as captain in the Champions League, helping Porto to a 2–0 win against Maccabi Tel Aviv in the group stage and surpassing previous record holder Rafael van der Vaart, who held it since 16 September 2003. On 5 December, in a 2–1 win over Paços de Ferreira also at the Estádio do Dragão, he broke another record by becoming the youngest player to make 50 appearances for the club, surpassing players like Fernando Gomes and Jaime Magalhães.

Wolverhampton Wanderers

On 8 July 2017, Neves signed for EFL Championship club Wolverhampton Wanderers for an undisclosed fee, believed to be in the region of £15.8 million – a club and league record fee. Upon joining, he was reunited with former Porto manager Nuno Espírito Santo. He scored his first goal on 15 August, in a 3–2 away win over Hull City. In April 2018, Neves was nominated for the EFL Championship Player of the Season and Young Player of the Season awards, and was also included in the Team of the Season along with teammates Conor Coady and John Ruddy. His team was ultimately promoted as champions with the player scoring 6 goals in 42 appearances, all of which were scored from outside of the box. At the conclusion of the season, he claimed a hat-trick of club awards as he walked away with the Player of the Season, Player's Player of the Season and Goal of the Season accolades. He was also awarded the EFL Goal of the Year award for 2018 for his goal against Derby County at Molineux on 11 April 2018.

Wolves announced that Neves had signed a new contract in July 2018, extending until June 2023. In the first match of the new season, he scored his first Premier League goal and assisted Raúl Jiménez in the latter's competitive debut, as his team twice came from behind to draw 2–2 against Everton. His appearance in the match, alongside compatriots Rui Patrício, João Moutinho, Diogo Jota and Hélder Costa, also saw the club break the league record for the most Portuguese players named in a starting line-up.

On 6 October 2018, Neves made his 50th appearance for Wolves and marked the occasion by contributing in the build-up for Matt Doherty's winning goal in a 1–0 victory over Crystal Palace. The following January, his 55th-minute winning goal against Liverpool at Molineux in the FA Cup, "a venomous dipping shot from  that beat Simon Mignolet at his near post", was voted the best goal of the third round by visitors to BBC Sport's website.

On 25 September 2019, Neves was made Wolves' club captain for the first time, when he led the team in the absence of regular captain Conor Coady as Wolves secured progression to the 2019–20 EFL Cup fourth round with a penalty shoot-out victory over Reading at Molineux in the third round. He made his 100th appearance in the Premier League in a goalless draw at Aston Villa on 6 March 2021. That May, it was revealed that his contract was in fact running until 2024.

Neves made his 200th competitive appearance for Wolves in all competitions in 2–0 win away to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on 13 February 2022. On 13 March, his 25th birthday, he assisted the only goal by Coady in a victory at Everton that constituted Wolves's 1,000th win in top-flight football (over 67 seasons dating back to 1888) and also sealed the club's first league double over that opponent since 1972–73. Days later, his knee injury from the first half of a home game against Leeds United ruled him out for a month. He returned on 30 April against Brighton & Hove Albion, but was substituted at half-time.

In the first game of the 2022–23 season against Leeds United on 6 August 2022, Neves took the captain's armband as Conor Coady was kept on the substitutes' bench. He was made Wolves’ captain on a full-time basis after the defender departed on loan to Everton. Neves scored his first goal of the season, and his twenty-fifth in a Wolves shirt, in a 1–1 Premier League draw with Newcastle United at Molineux on 28 August.

In May 2023, with uncertainty over his future and one year remaining on his contract, Neves publicly said that he wanted to play in the Champions League. He was linked with Barcelona.

Al Hilal
On 23 June 2023, Wolves confirmed Neves' departure from the club. Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal confirmed the transfer which set a new record sale for Wolverhampton Wanderers reported to be £47 million.

International career

Youth

Neves represented Portugal at the 2014 UEFA European Under-17 Championship, helping the country reach the semi-finals as captain. For his performances, he was named among the top ten talents of the tournament by a selection of UEFA reporters.

On 29 August 2014, still aged 17, Neves was called by coach Rui Jorge to be part of the under-21 team. He scored his first goal on 14 October in a 5–4 home win against the Netherlands in the play-off round of the 2015 UEFA European Under-21 Championship.

When the finals began in the Czech Republic, Neves broke a new record by becoming the youngest player to debut for the Portuguese under-21s in the tournament, aged 18 years and 3 months, playing five minutes to help beat England 1–0 in the group stage opener. It was his only appearance, as Portugal reached the final, which they lost to Sweden in a penalty shoot-out.

Senior
Neves was first called up to the senior team on 10 November 2015, ahead of friendlies against Russia and Luxembourg as an injury replacement for João Moutinho. He made his debut in the former match, featuring 17 minutes in the 1–0 loss in Krasnodar, before playing the entire 2–0 win against the latter at the Stade Josy Barthel, sharing the midfield with Porto teammates Danilo Pereira and André André.

Neves was selected by manager Fernando Santos for a preliminary 35-man squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, but did not make the final 23-man squad.

At the 2019 UEFA Nations League Finals on home soil, Neves played in the 3–1 semi-final win over Switzerland, but was dropped from the starting eleven for the final against the Netherlands for the more defensive Danilo. In that match at his former club ground the Dragão, he came on in added time for William Carvalho as the Portuguese won 1–0.

Neves was one of four Wolves players included in the Portugal squad for UEFA Euro 2020. He made his sole appearance in the delayed competition on 23 June, as a substitute in a 2–2 group draw with France in Budapest.

Neves was chosen for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

Style of play
An article on UEFA's website described Neves as a defensive midfielder who is not afraid to go forward and prompt attacks, showing great maturity combined with an accurate passing skill, great vision and an astute sense of positioning. His playing attributes also granted him comparisons to Portuguese international teammate João Moutinho for his fine first touch, similar desire to press his opponents and excellent distribution. Neves also drew praise in the media for his technical, tactical and mental qualities, as well as his intelligence and long-range shooting ability.
