title: Rubrobacter xylanophilus

text:
Rubrobacter xylanophilus is a thermophilic species of bacteria. It is slightly halotolerant, short rod- and coccus-shaped and gram-positive, with type strain PRD-1T. It is the only known true radiation resistant thermophile. It can degrade xylan and hemicellulose. The first strain of the genus Rubrobacter was isolated from gamma-irradiated hot spring water samples by Yoshinaka. This organism was found to be extremely gamma-radiation resistant, with a higher shoulder dose than the canonical radiation resistant species of the genus Deinococcus. The organism stained Gram-positive and was slightly thermophilic with an optimum growth temperature of about 60 °C.

title: India–Netherlands relations

text:
India–Netherlands relations are the foreign relations between India and the Netherlands. India maintains an embassy in The Hague, Netherlands and the Netherlands maintains an embassy in New Delhi and a consulate general in Mumbai. Both countries established diplomatic relations in 1947.

History

The India–Netherlands relations date back to the early 17th century as far as 1605 when the Dutch entered the Mughal Empire for trading purposes. Dutch presence on the Indian subcontinent lasted from 1605 to 1825. Merchants of the Dutch East India Company first established themselves in Dutch Coromandel, notably Pulicat, as they were looking for textiles to exchange with the spices they traded in the East Indies.[1] Dutch Suratte and Dutch Bengal succeeded in 1616 and 1627 respectively.[2][3] After the Dutch conquered Ceylon from the Portuguese in 1656, they took the Portuguese forts on the Malabar coast five years later as well, to secure Ceylon from Portuguese invasion.[4][5]

Apart from textiles, the items traded in Dutch India include precious stones, indigo, and silk across India, saltpeter and opium in Dutch Bengal, and pepper in Dutch Malabar. Indian slaves were imported on the Maluku Islands and in the Cape Colony.

In the second half of the eighteenth century the Dutch lost their influence more and more. The Kew Letters relinquished all Dutch colonies to the British, to prevent them from being overrun by the French. In the Battle of Colachel (1741), Travancore king Marthanda Varma's army defeated the Dutch East India Company, resulting in the complete eclipse of Dutch power in Malabar. Although Dutch Coromandel and Dutch Bengal were restored to Dutch rule by virtue of the Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1814, they returned to British rule owing to the provisions of the Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1824. Under the terms of the treaty, all transfers of property and establishments were to take place on 1 March 1825. By the middle of 1825, therefore, the Dutch had lost their last trading posts in India. Nevertheless, remains of the Dutch period can be found from Surat to Kolkata as well as in other parts of India.

State visits
In June 2015, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte made an official visit to New Delhi where he held talks with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

In June 2017, Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in the Netherlands on the final leg of his three-nation tour during which he held talks with his Dutch counterpart Mark Rutte to strengthen bilateral ties.

In May 2018, Prime Minister Mark Rutte arrived in New Delhi for a 2-day official visit with various ministers from his cabinet to discuss about various issues.

Modern Era Relations

Economic Relations

India has developed into a rapidly expanding economy, focused on technological development and technical and scientific cooperation.

Despite the continuing economic crisis in the Euro Zone and slow growth of Dutch economy itself, bilateral trade between India and Netherlands continued to gather momentum. Trade and investment cooperation a key component of India–Netherlands relationship has shown satisfactory growth over the years. Two way trade continue to grow steadily, reaching Euro 5.287 billion in 2011. During first seven months of 2012,Indian exports increased by 9.6% while total bilateral trade increased 9.45%.

Netherlands remains among the top 10 partners of India in terms of trade volume with positive balance of trade in favour of India. It is also one of the largest investors in terms of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into India with Indian investments into Netherlands during the period 1996-2010 amounted to $11.46 billion. FDI inflows from Netherlands into India during the period 2000 to 2011 stood at US$5.62 billion (6th largest overall). FDI during financial year 2011-12 amounted to $1.409 billion.

Presently there are 174 Indian companies based in Netherlands attracted by Dutch taxation system which is transparent, stable, flexible and has no withholding tax on ongoing interests and royalty payments, advance tax assessment certainly and competitive corporate tax rate of 20-25% and no capital tax on contribution of capital.

There have been major acquisitions and mergers by Indian companies including that of Tata Corus (now Tata Steel), Apollo-Vredestein, acquisition of Theodoor Gilissen by Hinduja Group and many Indian companies and exploring the possibilities for further tie-ups.

The proposal for opening a branch of State Bank of India in Amsterdam is also under way.  Many Dutch multinationals like Shell, Unilever, KLM and major banks like ING and Rabobank have growing and significant presence in India. Dutch SMEs with niche technologies and world class expertise are also actively looking at the Indian market. Similarly, several Indian major IT companies have established their presence in Netherlands.

Een Hoog
The relationship between youth in both nations has also been steadily improving. Top scientists have attributed majority of this growth to the social and cultural ties being built at the César Franck Institute of International relations, colloquially known as "Een Hoog" (English: one high/Hindi: एक उनन्चा). The researchers at Een Hoog are constantly working to improve these relations and have suggested support (both financial and spirit oriented) from either of the governments will likely help speed up the process.

title: Methanothermococcus okinawensis

text:
Methanothermococcus okinawensis is a thermophilic, methane-producing archaeon first isolated from deep-sea hydrothermal vent on the western Pacific Ocean. Its cells are highly motile, irregular cocci, with a polar bundle of flagella. Its type strain is IH1T (=JCM 11175T =DSM 14208T).  It grows at an optimal temperature of 60–65 °C and pH of 6.7. It is strictly anaerobic and reduces carbon dioxide with hydrogen to produce methane, but it can also use formate. Research studies indicate that it might be able to survive extreme conditions in solar system's other bodies, such as Saturn's moon Enceladus.

title: Melissa Greener

text:
Melissa Greener is an American singer-songwriter who describes herself as a folk crooner. She is based in Nashville, Tennessee. She has been described as a "sassy singer, virtuoso guitarist, beguiling songwriter and an imposing stage presence" with an "original blend of quirky lyrics and distinctive voice". Her third album, Transistor Corazón, received a 4.5-starred review in UK national newspaper The Daily Telegraph.

Early life
Greener, the daughter of a classically trained soprano singer and a hippie father, was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. She began playing guitar at the age of nine and was influenced by her childhood guitar teacher Billy Brandt and his heroes Stephen Stills, Neil Young and Gram Parsons.

After graduating from high school, Greener traveled to Tel Aviv and then to Montreal. She completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in ceramics from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Halifax, Nova Scotia and then taught in Jingdezhen, China, where she began writing songs for what would become her first album.

Professional career
After Greener's contract in China finished, she returned to the United States to pursue a career of writing and performing her songs. Before moving to Nashville, Tennessee, she was based in Austin, Texas. She appeared (performing "Bullets to Bite") in episode 13 in series 1 of the television documentary Troubadour, TX, first aired on February 10, 2012.

Fall from the Sky
Greener's first album, Fall from the Sky, was released in January 2006. Céline Keating of Acoustic Guitar magazine described it as "strikingly original and impressively varied", featuring "strong, catchy melodies in strange and brooding voicings". She said: "This may be her debut CD, but Melissa Greener is already a pro."

Dwelling
Greener's second album, Dwelling, released in 2010, was produced by John Jennings, who has produced several albums for Mary Chapin Carpenter. One of the tracks on Dwelling, "Bullets to Bite", won first prize in the folk category of the 2009 USA Songwriting Competition.

Transistor Corazón
Greener's third album, Transistor Corazón, produced by Brad Jones, was released in 2013, and has been described as fusing "modernist poetry with soulful 1960s Laurel Canyon". According to Greener the album's name comes from the English/Spanish word "transistor", a device that amplifies, alters or changes the direction of an electrical signal, and from "corazon", the Spanish for "heart". The songs are about the themes of love and the complexity and short-circuitry of romantic intimacy. Greener co-wrote the album's title song with singer-songwriter David Rodriguez. In a 4.5-starred review, The Daily Telegraph'''s Culture Editor Online, Martin Chilton, described  Transistor Corazón as an "album of depth" and her songwriting as "classy".

Solo – Electric
In 2015 she launched a crowdfunding campaign for the forthcoming release of a new album, Solo – Electric, a recording of a concert performed in Germany.

Other musical contributions
Greener sang harmony vocals on Buddy Mondlock's 2013 album The Memory Wall''.

title: Amsonia orientalis

text:
Amsonia orientalis, the European bluestar, is a species of flower in the dogbane family. It is found in European Turkey, and may be extirpated from Greece. Other historical populations appear to be lost. It is threatened by habitat loss, collection for ornamental use, and over-harvesting for research. It contains many glycosides and glycoalkaloids, and also has broad antimicrobial activity.

Amsonia orientalis is the only European member of its genus. One other species (Amsonia elliptica (Thunb.) Roem. & Schult.) is found in East Asia, while all the others are native to North America.

title: A Very Cellular Song

text:
"A Very Cellular Song" is a song by the Incredible String Band, written by Mike Heron, released on the 1968 album The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter.

Composition and musical structure
The longest number on the album, the song is a 13-minute reflection on life, love, and amoebas, whose complex structure incorporates a Bahamian spiritual ("I Bid You Goodnight", originally recorded by the Pinder Family). Heron next sings a passage beginning "Who would lose and who would bruise", whose tune is to be reprised later on in the piece. This is followed by an ode to mitosis, sung from the point of view of an amoeba, introduced by Licorice McKechnie saying the words "Amoebas are very small".

The numerous parts of the song are woven together by Heron's harpsichord sections and Williamson's instrumental passages on the gimbri and Jew's harp.
Heron later said of the song, "All it was was a trip, and that was the music I was listening to, that and interspersed with Radio 4, bits of plays, people talking to each other, and I happened to be listening to the Pinder Family before I started."

May the Long Time Sun Shine
The last part of "A Very Cellular Song", "May the Long Time Sun Shine", is sometimes wrongly referred to as a Sikh hymn or an Irish blessing, but is in fact an original song written by Mike Heron.

Commentary
Writer Dan Lander described the song as Mike Heron's masterpiece.  He wrote:"Weaving between styles as divergent as Bahamian funerary music, East Indian incantation and ancient Celtic mysticism, 'A Very Cellular Song' represents a high point in the band's creativity and surely influenced a host of others including Led Zeppelin, the Who and Lou Reed.  Handclaps, kazoo, harpsichord and pipes intermingle and morph into each other. If this sounds like dissonance and chaos, it is. However, it holds together and in the end conveys a powerful range of human emotion through pain and joy and back again."

Personnel
Mike Heron – lead vocals, Hammond organ, harpsichord, piano, guitar
Robin Williamson – harmony and background vocals, violin, oud, kazoo, jew's harp, percussion
Dolly Collins – flute organ
Licorice – vocals

Cover versions
The amoeba section was covered by actor Nigel Planer, in character as 'Neil the Hippy' from Television show The Young Ones on the LP Neil's Heavy Concept Album, released in 1984.

title: Honduras–Uruguay relations

text:
Honduras–Uruguay relations refers to the diplomatic relations between the Republic of Honduras and the Oriental Republic of Uruguay. Both nations are members of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States, Group of 77, Organization of American States, Organization of Ibero-American States and the United Nations.

History
Both Honduras and Uruguay share a common history in the fact that both nations were once part of the Spanish Empire. During the Spanish colonial period, Honduras was governed from the Viceroyalty of New Spain in Mexico City while Uruguay was then part of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata and administered from Buenos Aires. In 1828, Uruguay obtained its independence after the Cisplatine War. In 1841, Honduras obtained its independence after the dissolution of the Federal Republic of Central America. On 11 January 1929 both nations established diplomatic relations.

Bilateral relations between both nations have taken place primarily in multilateral forums. In November 2006, Honduran President Manuel Zelaya attended the 16th Ibero-American Summit in Montevideo. In June 2009, President Zelaya was removed from power in a coup d'état. As a result, the Uruguayan government condemned the coup and lowered diplomatic relations with the interim Honduran government led by acting President Roberto Micheletti. In June 2011, Uruguay re-established full diplomatic relations with the Honduran government with the return of Zelaya back to Honduras from exile in the Dominican Republic.

In July 2013, Honduran President Porfirio Lobo Sosa paid a visit to Uruguay and met with President José Mujica.

Bilateral agreements
Both nations have signed a few agreements such as a Reciprocity Agreement for the Elimination of Visas in Diplomatic, Official, Special and Ordinary Passports (1982); Cultural Agreement (1988); Agreement of Academic Cooperation between both nations respective Ministry's of Foreign Affairs (2013); Agreement for Economic, Scientific and Technical Cooperation (2013); and a Memorandum of Understanding for the Establishment of a Political Consultation Mechanism (2013).

Diplomatic missions
 Honduras is accredited to Uruguay from its embassy in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
 Uruguay is accredited to Honduras from its embassy in Guatemala City, Guatemala.

title: William H. Herriman

text:
William Henry Herriman (7 February 1829 – 26 July 1918) was an expatriate American art collector in Rome who, on his death, left important works of art to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Brooklyn Museum.

Herriman family
William Henry Herriman was the second son (and third child) of the wealthy Brooklyn businessman and President of Long Island Bank, William S. Herriman and his wife Maria Belle Stillwell Frecke/Freeke. William H. married Elizabeth Herriman née Wyckoff (23 April 1834 – 5 May 1910).

His sister was Caroline Herriman Polhemus (died 1906), the wife of Henry Ditmas Polhemus. After his death, she founded the Polhemus Memorial Clinic, the first "skyscraper hospital", in honour of her late husband, who had served as the Regent of Long Island College Hospital (LICH) from 1872 until his death in 1895. She also founded the Herriman Home in Monsey, Rockland County.

Life in Rome
Herriman and his wife first lived in Brooklyn, New York, but moved to Rome in 1865. Their friend, Maitland Armstrong, said of them: "They exercised a quiet and generous hospitality in their delightful apartment, and were among the best friends the American artists had, for they bought their pictures, befriended them in their need, nursed them in sickness, and lent them money when they were hard up. Mr. Herriman was a wise collector, not only of pictures but of all sorts of rare objects of art."

Donations

Herriman left a large number of works to the Brooklyn Museum on his death, including Jean-François Millet's 1860s painting, Shepherd Tending His Flock.  He left fewer works to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, but among those he did donate to them was one of the most important that he owned, Gustave Moreau's 1864 Oedipus and the Sphinx, one of the few Moreau paintings in private hands. On his death Moreau had left all of his extant paintings to the French nation where they formed the basis for the subsequent Gustave Moreau Museum. Accordingly, important Moreau paintings are scarce outside France. Herriman had purchased Oedipus and the Sphinx in 1868 during Moreau's lifetime and it was installed at 93, Piazza di Spagna, Rome, by January 1869.

Herriman was also a benefactor to the American Academy in Rome Library and with J. P. Morgan, paid for the completion of Saint Paul's church murals in that city, unveiled in 1913.

Death
Herriman died in Rome on 26 July 1918. Elizabeth also died in Rome. Both are buried at the Non-Catholic Cemetery in Rome, as are the poets John Keats and Percy Bysshe Shelley. The Herrimans had no children. Herriman left two wills, one covering his Italian assets to the value of $231,000 and another covering his United States assets, value $2,500,000. His paintings were divided between The Brooklyn Museum of Arts and Science, the American Academy in Rome and various American and Italian institutions.

title: Bubbierasco

text:
Bubbierasco is a red Italian wine grape variety that is grown in the province of Cuneo in the Piedmont wine region of northwest Italy. The grape is a natural crossing of the Nebbiolo grape, famous for the red wines of Barolo and Barbaresco, and Bianchetta di Saluzzo, a white grape variety that has been historically grown around the town of Saluzzo.

History and relationship to other grapes

Ampelographers believe that Bubbierasco likely originated around the town of Saluzzo, in the Cuneo province, where its two parent varieties, Bianchetta di Saluzzo and Nebbiolo, have both been grown. In the early 21st century, DNA analysis showed that Bubbierasco was likely a natural crossing of the white Bianchetta and red Nebbiolo varieties.

Through its parent-offspring relationship with Nebbiolo, Bubbierasco is a half-sibling of several Piemontese wine grape varieties including: Vespolina, Brugnola, Freisa, Nebbiolo rosé, Negretta, Neretto di Bairo and Rossola nera.

Wine regions

Today Bubbierasco is almost exclusively cultivated in the province of Cuneo in Piedmont with most plantings found in the Val Bronda region near Saluzzo.

Synonyms
Currently, the Vitis International Variety Catalogue (VIVC) recognizes no official synonyms for Bubbierasco.

title: John Dunn Hunter

text:
John Dunn Hunter  (ca. 1796–1827) was a leader of the Fredonian Rebellion.

Dunn Hunter claimed to be ignorant of his birthplace and that he was taken prisoner with two other white children by Native Americans who either belonged to or were associated with the Kickapoo nation. Dunn Hunter lived with the Kickapoo until 1816 but he traveled widely during that time and received a good education, meeting Robert Owen and John Neal in England. Not knowing his real name, Dunn Hunter took on the name of an English benefactor, one John Dunn. The "hunter" was later added due to his abilities in that field.

Dunn Hunter arrived in Texas in 1825 and in December he was sent by Richard Fields to Mexico with the aim of negotiating for a Cherokee settlement in Texas. Dunn Hunter arrived in Mexico City on March 19, 1826 but regretfully returned to Texas April 1826 with news of his failure.

Dunn Hunter and Fields then opened negotiations with Martin Parmer which culminated in the Fredonian Rebellion. The Cherokee repudiated the rebellion and ultimately it was decided that Fields and Hunter should be put to death. Dunn Hunter escaped but a Mexican militia headed by Peter Ellis Bean was tasked with tracking him down. Dunn Hunter was caught and executed in early February 1827.

title: Pierre Thouvenot

text:
Pierre Thouvenot (9 March 1757 – 21 July 1817) was a French Army officer who served with distinction in the American Revolutionary War. He fled from France during the revolution but returned under an amnesty and went on to serve in Napoleonic Wars. Thouvenot is most famous for his defence of Bayonne in 1814 and the sortie he made when the war was all but over, which drew criticism from both sides, particularly from the Duke of Wellington, who branded him a "blackguard".

Early career
Thouvenot was born on 9 March 1757 in Toul, Meurthe-et-Moselle, France. He did not join the military until 1779, having spent the previous five years as a geographical engineer. He enrolled in L'école d'artillerie de La Fère, leaving as a cadet in the French artillery during December 1779. He served for a time on the Île de Ré where he became a Second-lieutenant in 1780 before being sent to Guadeloupe. He distinguished himself in Bouillé's attack on St Lucia in May 1781, and took part in the subsequent invasion of Tobago. Thouvenot received a promotion to Lieutenant in 1783 and continued to serve in the Caribbean following the Treaty of Paris. He was promoted to Capitain in 1788 and was made a Chevalier de Saint-Louis (Knight of Saint Louis) in 1791 and was appointed to the foundry at Indret, near Nantes, initially as an inspector but later as the director. Towards the end of 1792, Thouvenot was promoted to lieutenant-colonel and was transferred, as director, to the foundry at Malines.

Exile
Leaving naval armament behind in December 1792; Thouvenot returned to serving with the army in the field as the commander of the Belgium artillery and in February the following year, he became attached to General Charles François Dumouriez, as his chief of staff. When, some two months later, a warrant for his arrest was issued by the new government in France, Thouvenot was prompted to flee Belgium. He was captured by Austrian soldiers and imprisoned at Treurenberg. After his release in 1794, Thouvenot sought refuge in the neutral Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg where he remained until an amnesty was granted by Napoleon in 1800.

Return to military service
Thouvenot returned to France and the military; and with a promotion to colonel, was part of a force sent to Saint-Domingue to combat insurgency by the slaves there and served as Chief of staff to Generals Edme Étienne Borne Desfourneaux, Bertrand Clausel and Jean-Baptiste Salme successively. Desfourneaux's reprisals were brutal. After his first major operation, Thouvenot recorded how, over a seven-day period, slaves were hunted down and shot, hanged or clubbed to death.

In recognition of his actions, which included the liberation of Port-de-Paix from insurrectionists, Thouvenot was promoted again, on 15 October 1802, this time to general of brigade, and given command of the artillery of the Army of Santo Domingo. On 10 April 1803 Thouvenot was made the army's chief of staff, but the actions and decadent lifestyle of his commanding officer, General Donatien-Marie-Joseph de Vimeur, vicomte de Rochambeau, so enraged Thouvenot and Clausel that they planned to have him removed. On hearing of the plot, Rochambeau accused the conspirators of stealing supplies and had them both deported. Thouvenot returned to France a few months later having found passage via Cuba.

Thouvenot's version of events regarding the Rochambeau affair, was accepted by Napoleon, and in 1805; Thouvenot was sent to the Rhineland, where he joined the second division of the II Corps in the Grande Armée and took part in operations in Prussia and Pomerania. Thouvenot served as governor of Würzburg in the then Electorate of Bavaria, before successively taking up the post at Erfurt in Prussia, and the towns of Stettin and Stralsund, both in Pomerania. While on active service with Louis Henri Loison's division in 1807, he was wounded in the siege of Kolberg, on 14 June.

Military Governor of Guipúzcoa

Thouvenot was reputed to be an efficient administrator. That is why Napoleón entrusted him with the government of a key province, Thouvenot was sent to Guipúzcoa, Spain, on 18 January 1808, through which most of the imperial troops entered. On 5 March 1808 Thouvenot occupied San Sebastián without encountering resistance.

In his new position, Thouvenot showed himself as an extremely active, competent and honest professional. He always maintained strict discipline and imposed harsh punishments on the resistance, but he was never bloodthirsty or cruel. His reports reveal an extremely realistic appreciation of the situation, but he never questions the war, the occupation or the chances of success of the occupation. He was the typical disciplined soldier who obeyed orders and nothing else.

When Joseph Bonaparte arrived in San Sebastián in June 1808, Thouvenot sent a report to Paris explaining without any hesitation the coldness of the reception and the hostility of the population. Gipuzkoa priests began a hidden strike. They resisted to celebrate the mass. To resolve the matter without repressive measures, Thouvenot increased the pay of the priests. It was also relatively common for him to give in to the pleas of the authorities or the neighbors to pardon a detainee, or to reduce his sentence.

On 18 July 1809, Thouvenot founded the first Masonic lodge in Spain, the Frères Unis. All the members were French soldiers, but they expected some important figures from the province of Guipuzcoa to join the lodge. The French used this system across Europe to recruit collaborators, but in the Basque Country, a very Catholic region, only managed a recruit.

During these years, Thouvenot rarely saw combat, focusing on administrative problems. On the other hand, he had very few troops. When the British and the guerrillas coordinated a systematic amphibious offensive in July 1809, General Thouvenot did not launch a counterattack, because: I do not have a single soldier to set in motion (...). My forces here do not reach 300 men able to carry arms, and therefore it is impossible for me to send forces against the enemy. It is painful in such circumstances not to have a single soldier and to see the enemy destroy all the defenses of the coast.

Military Governor of the 4th Military Government "Vizcaya" (Basque Country)

In February 1810 Napoleon created four military governments, separating Spain from the border regions with France. The 4th Military Government, called 'Vizcaya' actually covered the three Basque Provinces. Thouvenot was appointed governor and created an advisory council in each province, consisting of two owners, two merchants, an accountant and a treasurer. Above these provincial councils there was a council of nine members, three per province, which responded to Thouvenot himself. The members had to be large owners or rich businessmen, be able to read and write and speak French, since Thouvenot humbly admitted that he did not speak Spanish.

Thouvenot tried to attract the population through good administration. He was informed in detail about the situation in the country. He issued pardons, left all possible matters in the hands of local authorities and organized numerous parties in San Sebastian. On 17 April he ordered the creation of public libraries, using the books of the suppressed convents. He appointed official architects in each province to deal with public works such as bridges, roads, hydraulic works, etc. He also took hygienic precautions to avoid epidemics. As an essential element of his government action, Thouvenot created an official newspaper, La Gaceta de Vizcaya, which appeared three times a week. Mixed news, propaganda and official communications. The administrative work of Thouvenot was favored by his stability in the position, since he remained in the same until the end of the war, while other commands were replaced with excessive frequency. For example, Navarra had six different governors during the six years of the Napoleonic occupation. His salary was high and he lived with great luxury at the expense of the Basques, but he never devoted himself to plundering the occupied territory for his own benefit. That puts him well above the average of the Napoleonic military who sacked Spain.

The Thouvenot system of government was authoritarian and centralist, suppressing any municipal autonomy. He appointed and dismissed the mayors. Many of the new mayors had not even presented themselves as candidates, and tried by all means to avoid the appointment, so coveted previously. Military governments had been created expressly to collect many taxes and finance the French army. In 18 months, Thouvenot raised 40 million reais. Raising so much money impoverished many people, who joined the guerrillas.

To fight against the guerrillas, Thouvenot tried to create local collaborationist militia called Civic Guards. They were formed by the mayors and the wealthiest neighbors of each municipality. Some of them caused serious problems to the guerrillas during 1810 and 1811, but by the end of 1811 all had deserted or been disarmed by the guerrillas, often without resistance.

Baron of the Empire

In January 1811 Thouvenot government moved its headquarters from San Sebastian to Vitoria. It was a more central position, better communicated with Burgos, Bilbao, Logroño, Pamplona and the Bessieres General Headquarters in Valladolid. This year he was rewarded for his service, being made a Baron de l'Empire (Baron of the Empire) and Officier de la Légion d'honneur (Officer of the Legion of Honour).

In 1812 the harvests were disastrous. 1812 was "The Year of Hunger". In August the food crisis was so bad in Bilbao that Thouvenot organized the distribution of an 'economic soup'. Very few other imperial commands would have even conceived the idea of doing something for ordinary people. The municipalities stopped paying taxes. In Bilbao, the members of the municipality and the consulate of commerce were arrested by order of Thouvenot and taken prisoner to Vitoria, as hostages to force the town to pay the taxes.

During 1812–1813, Basque guerrillas grew in number and organization until they could defeat in open field battle Napoleonic forces equal in number. The French lost control of rural areas and were expelled from the city of Bilbao. This meant a serious strategic threat to the Napoleonic communications, because most of the troops and supplies arriving from France crossed the Basque Provinces. Thouvenot had to focus on protecting convoys of supplies. He showed great skill, cunning, cold blood in this campaign, fighting on many fronts at the same time with insufficient resources. Even as the Battle of Vitoria on 21 June 1813, was about to begin, he found time to attend to the complaints of a priest and order uncontrolled soldiers to stop looting a municipality in Alava.

Battle of Bayonne

After the Battle of Vitoria, General Thouvenot joined Marshal Soult's army in the Pyrenees where he held various commands before being appointed General of division on 25 November 1813. In February the following year, Thouvenot was made governor of the city of Bayonne.

On 27 February 1814, having crossed the River Adour, Wellington's army began to lay siege to the city of Bayonne. During the fight for the suburb of St Etienne, which the British required to complete their investment, Thouvenot was wounded by a bullet to the thigh. The British and their allies were slow to start their preparations and had thus failed to force the city to surrender when, on 13 April 1814, news of Napoleon's abdication reached the British lines. Despite having received the news unofficially on 12 April and although it was widely known that a new French government would sue for peace; Thouvenot ordered a sortie which proved to be the last major action of the Peninsular War. On the morning of 14 April, Thouvenot attacked the British siege lines with 6,000 men. The French sortie was defeated but with heavy losses on both sides. The Allies lost 838 men, including Major General Andrew Hay who was killed defending the church of St Etiene and Sir John Hope, who was wounded and captured while charging into a melee on his horse. French casualties totaled 905 men, including 111 killed, 778 wounded and 16 missing. The siege of Bayonne continued obstinately until 27 April when written orders from Marshal Soult finally compelled Thouvenot to hand the fortress over to the British.

Thouvenot's actions were condemned by both sides as a needless waste of lives. Particularly scathing was the Duke of Wellington who branded Thouvenot a "blackguard". In Bayonne however a monument was raised and an annual celebration of Thouvenot's "brave" defence still takes place. Sir Charles Colville did not join in the criticism either. He thought Thouvenot to be, "a well intentioned and gentlemanly individual" and suggested that perhaps the sortie had been forced upon him by his subordinates.

Thouvenot was sent back to Bayonne when Napoleon returned from exile in Elba but after defeat at Waterloo and the restoration of the monarchy, Thouvenot was labelled inactive and never served the French military again. He died in Orly on 21 July 1817. Pierre Thouvenot is one of the 660 names inscribed on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
