Manchester City
In a change from previous years, teams competing in the UEFA Women's Champions League group stage were exempt from the League Cup group stage, earning a provisional bye to the quarter-finals. However, following their elimination during the second qualifying round at the hands of Real Madrid after the League Cup draw had been made, Manchester City were placed in the only remaining Northern region group with only four teams. It contained three WSL teams: Everton, Leicester City and Manchester United; as well as Championship side Durham. As a result of Manchester City no longer receiving a bye to the knockout stage, the best-placed runner up during the group stage would now also advance.
Despite a poor start to the WSL season, losing three of their opening five matches and sitting in 9th place, Manchester City opened their League Cup campaign with an emphatic 5–1 win over Everton who were struggling to gel following a heavy offseason of recruiting and investment. Caroline Weir had opened the scoring in the 8th minute and although Everton had equalised through Grace Clinton within a couple of minutes, Khadija Shaw had put City ahead before the halftime break. As Everton pressed forward in the second half in search of way back into the game, City capitalised as Lauren Hemp doubled City's leading before substitute Jess Park added a fourth and Ellen White saw her header fumbled into the goal by goalkeeper Courtney Brosnan in the final minute. The match was Willie Kirk's last game as Everton manager as he was sacked three days later. City once again struck early to open the scoring against Durham, this time through summer signing Filippa Angeldal in the 16th minute. The Championship side surrendered much of the possession to City who were denied a second goal with both Janine Beckie and Angeldal hitting the frame of the goal. Substitute Weir, on her 100th appearance for the club, finally managed to give City the cushion they were pushing for in the 87th minute, firing into the roof of the net from the edge of the Durham box. Beckie also got on the scoresheet in stoppage time as City ran out 3–0 winners. Having played out a thrilling 2–2 draw in the league the previous month, City traveled to Manchester United for the third group game. City's fast starts continue as Hayley Raso latched on to an early turnover, rolling the ball to Vicky Losada who fired the ball past Sophie Baggaley from the edge of the box with fewer than two minutes played. Despite controlling most of the opening exchanges, United managed to level on the half hour mark when goalkeeper Karima Benameur Taieb spilled the ball against her own body under pressure from Kirsty Hanson who knocked it back to Ivana Fuso to fire home from ten yards. With chances few and far between in a tighter second half, United broke the deadlock eight minutes from time when Ona Batlle broke down the wing to feed the ball to Alessia Russo in the box. The forward's shot was parried by Taieb and fell to Demi Stokes who was pickpocketed by Batlle before the Spaniard calmly stroked the ball into the net, sealing a 2–1 derby defeat for City. The final group game against Leicester City scheduled for 15 December 2021 was delayed due to a COVID-19 outbreak in the Manchester City squad. With all other games played, a victory over Everton had put United top of the group on nine points. City were three points behind with the delayed game still to play, although United were assured of a place in the knockout stage either as a group winner or as the best-placed runner up. City knew a win would send them top on goal difference while a win on penalties would send them through as the best second-placed team. However, opponents Leicester were also still alive as they could progress as runner-up if they won outright while a penalty shootout win for Leicester would see both teams miss out and instead send Group C runners-up Charlton Athletic through. The game was eventually played on 12 January 2022. Sitting bottom of the WSL, newly promoted Leicester had made a change of manager the previous month, bringing in Lydia Bedford who had guided the team to their first win of the season in the final game before the winter break. Despite the uptick in form, City blew a youthful Leicester side away as Bedford handed out five debuts including four academy players. For the third time in four group games, City led inside 10 minutes as Jess Park delivered a perfect cross for White to tap in. Hemp and Georgia Stanway both netted braces as City ran riot to punch their ticket to the knockout stage as group winner with a 5–0 win as teenage goalkeeper Khiara Keating kept a cleansheet on her senior debut.
Manchester City were drawn against Bristol City for the quarter-finals. Bristol had been beaten in last season's League Cup final and relegated in summer. At the time of their visit to the Academy Stadium, Bristol were 5th in the Championship as they struggled with consistency in their bid to return to the WSL at the first time of asking but had topped Group D including a 1–0 win over top-flight side Reading. Chelsea loanee Aggie Beever-Jones gave Bristol the early lead against the run of play, riding a Lucy Bronze challenge to drive into the City penalty area and pulling the ball back to force Alex Greenwood into a lunging block, turning the ball past Keating and into her own net. City's dominance was eventually rewarded through Shaw with the Jamaican twisting her way through the Bristol defence for the equaliser before latching on to the end of a Bronze cross to give City the lead a minute before halftime. A second half mix up between defender and goalkeeper gifted Losada a tap in as City kept control of the tie, seeing out a 3–1 win. For the semi-finals, City received another home tie, this time against surprise WSL top-three challengers Tottenham Hotspur. Having won three out of three including an 11–0 win against Watford during the group stage, Spurs had edged a 1–0 win over Championship leaders Liverpool to reach the semi-finals for the first time. City controlled the game from the start and tested Rebecca Spencer's goal early via Hemp and Shaw but were handed a warning when Jessica Naz dispossessed Keira Walsh to set up a one on one with the keeper only to drag it wide of the returning Ellie Roebuck's post. But for that chance, it was one-way traffic as Park eventually broke the deadlock with an enterprising dribble into the box capped by a deft far post finish before setting up Shaw for a tap in to double City's first-half lead. Bronze rattled the post from a corner before Hemp blazed over the rebound as City's refused to relent in the second half, finding a third goal in the 70th minute as Hemp rose highset to head home at the back post from Park's clipped cross and seal a comfortable 3–0 win.
Chelsea
In a change from previous years, teams competing in the UEFA Women's Champions League group stage were exempt from the League Cup group stage. Because Chelsea won the 2020–21 FA WSL title, they did not have to go through qualifying and were automatically entered into the Champions League group stage, subsequently giving them a bye to the knockout stage of the League Cup. As a result, Chelsea would only need to play two games to reach the final.
Entering at the quarter-final stage, Chelsea were drawn away to West Ham United for the opening game of their League Cup defence. West Ham had topped a group of Birmingham City, Brighton & Hove Albion and London City Lionesses, winning all three games without conceding. It was the first meeting of the season between the teams having had their league game in December postponed following a COVID-19 outbreak in the Chelsea squad. It was also the first game Chelsea had played after the winter break having had two league games postponed due to COVID outbreaks at both Chelsea and Everton. Pernille Harder gave Chelsea a 25th-minute lead when Jessie Fleming sprang Fran Kirby on the counter with West Ham committing players forward to attack a freekick. Having carried the ball from the halfway line, Kirby squared the ball to Harder who picked her spot past Anna Leat unchallenged. A wide open game, the teams went in at the break level when Kateřina Svitková received the ball on the left side of the box before cutting back inside on her right foot and shooting, catching a wrong-footed Ann-Katrin Berger off guard. Chelsea ramped up the intensity to begin the second half, retaking the lead from a 58th minute Erin Cuthbert header. Within eight minutes, West Ham had gone from level pegging to three goals down as Harder completed her hattrick, first by reacting quickest to the rebound as Leat parried a fizzing Kirby shot and then by cushioning a header back across goal and into the side netting. Not disheartened by the sudden deficit, West Ham battled back and scored a late concilation go through substitute Halle Houssein on her West Ham debut as Chelsea won 4–2. For the semi-final, Chelsea were drawn at home to Manchester United having handed them a bruising 6–1 WSL defeat in their only other previous meeting of the season. Chelsea won 3–1 with all four goals coming in a 13-minute flurry. Harder again opened the scoring, racing on to a long through ball as the United defence was caught napping. Fleming doubled the lead five minutes later reacting to a deflection to head the ball into the ground and looping over Sophie Baggaley. Some slick interplay between Jackie Groenen and Vilde Bøe Risa sliced open the Chelsea defence as the Norwegian halved the deficit just one minute later but the two goal cushion was restored shortly after when Jess Carter made a tearing near post run to cut infront of Aoife Mannion and turn the ball in. Chelsea held United at bay in the second half before Baggaley saw a straight red card in the 77th minute for clearing out an onrushing Sam Kerr 30 yards from goal. After the game United manager Marc Skinner lamented the suspensions of two key players, Ella Toone and Hayley Ladd, who were both missing for accumulating two yellow cards during their five-game run to the semi-finals while Chelsea had only previously played one game in the competition, suggesting the rules should be changed for future seasons.

Parotocinclus adamanteus is a species of catfish in the family Loricariidae. It is native to South America, where it occurs in the Paraguaçu River basin in the state of Bahia in Brazil. A phylogenetic analysis reportedly indicates that P. adamanteus is most closely related to three other species in the genus Parotocinclus: P. jequi, P. prata, and P. robustus. The species was first described in 2019 by Edson H. L. Pereira, Alexandre Clistenes de A. Santos, Mário C. C. de Pinna, and Roberto E. Reis. FishBase does not list this species.

Nasiliu.net (No To Violence) is a Russian nonprofit organization founded in 2015, which supports women who experience domestic violence. Its director is Anna Rivina.
In 2020 Nasiliu.net offered consultations to 960 victims of domestic violence at their premises.
In December 2020 the Russian Justice Ministry declared Nasiliu.net to be a 'foreign agent'. In February 2021 the Justice Ministry threatened to dissolve the group entirely, alleging charter violations. That month Nasiliu.net received an unsigned demand, allegedly from the Federal Agency for State Property Management, to "urgently vacate the premises voluntarily".Their landlord subsequently showed up and told them that they needed to vacate the premises. In March 2021 the group's legal challenge to its foreign agent status was refused by the Zamoskvoretsky Court. In April 2021 a Russian court fined the organization 300,000 roubles for infringing the foreign agent legislation.
In August 2021 the group announced it would provide emergency accommodation in Moscow hotels and hostels for victims of domestic violence.

Ranunculus tripartitus, three-lobed crowfoot, is a species of flowering plant in the family Ranunculaceae, which grows in pools and muddy hollows in coastal parts of Europe, North Africa and West Asia. It is rare and endangered throughout its range, and is considered to be an indicator of favourable environmental conditions.
Description Ranunculus tripartitus is a procumbent annual to perennial herbaceous plant that grows in shallow water and on exposed mud or peat. Under water it has finely divided, thread-like submerged (capillary) leaves. Floating on the surface, or growing on exposed mud, it has flat, deeply-lobed laminar leaves. Sometimes both leaf shapes are present on the same plant, but intermediate leaves are rare. The laminar leaves are reniform overall, divided more than half-way into three (rarely 5) lobes which are broadest towards the tip, and which are themselves shallowly indented (crenate) at the end. They are 0.5 - 1.5 cm across, with the middle lobe narrower than the side ones. The submerged leaves are 1 - 4 cm long, divided up to 5 times, with sometimes as many as 90 terminal segments. The leaves are opposite or alternate along stems that can be up to 50 cm long, with small stipules at the base of the petiole, which can be between 1 and 10 mm long. The stems and leaves are glabrous (hairless).
The actinomorphic flowers are borne singly on long stalks (pedicels) from the leaf axils. Each flower has 5 petals and 5 sepals. The petals are white with a yellow patch towards to base, up to 4.5 mm long, and there is a small space between them. Towards the base of each petal is a small crescent-shaped nectar pit. The sepals are up to 3 mm long, green with a blue tip, and recurved towards the flower stalk. There are 5 - 8 stamens and numerous (more than 6) carpels. The receptacle is hairy. The fruits are hairless and, as they develop, the pedicel becomes recurved.
Taxonomy Ranunculus tripartitus is included in the taxonomically difficult subgenus (or "section") Batrachium of the buttercup family, which includes all the water-crowfoots. They are aquatic or amphibious species, with white petals, transversely ridged achenes (fruits), and stipules at the base of the leaf stalk. It can be separated from other members of the section by the three-lobed laminar leaves, the petals being about twice as long as the sepals and not contiguous, the reflexed pedicel and the hairy receptacle.
It was described by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle in 1808. The type specimen, which was thought to be in Paris, is missing, so the plate and description in de Candolle's "Icones Plantarum" has been designated a typotype. Ranunculus petiveri W.D.J. Koch, which was later found in Germany, and Batrachium lutarium Revel (France) are considered to be the same species.
There are no subspecies of R. tripartitus, but it does form hybrids with other species in the section, including R. omiophyllus (=R. × novae-forestae S.D. Webster) (which is only known in Britain); common water-crowfoot (also only in Britain); and R. ololeucos (= R. × felixii Segret) (only in France). A key feature for the identification of hybrids is the presence of leaves that are intermediate between the capillary and laminar forms; such plants are also sterile.
The chromosome number of R. tripartitus is 2n = 48.
Distribution This is primarily a European plant, although it has been reported as far east as Turkey and as far south as Morocco, so it is perhaps present on three continents. Owing to the difficulty of identifying species in the section Batrachium, there is some uncertainty about its range. For example, the Turkish plants were recorded as R. kastamonuensis. It may occur on the Aegean Islands, but this is also unconfirmed. In all parts of its range, R. tripartitus is considered to be rare and possibly endangered.
In Britain, it was first recorded (as R. innominatus) by C.C. Babington in 1848, "near Claremont House, Surrey", an area now known as Esher Commons. It still occurs in this part of the country. The other main populations in Britain are in the heaths of Sussex and Kent, the New Forest, the Lizard peninsula, Pembrokeshire and Anglesey. Because populations fluctuate dramatically, it is difficult to assess its conservation status. In 1962 it was thought to be present in 28 places (10 x 10 km squares) on the map. This had shrunk to 19 by 1987, as low as 10 by 1999, and back up to 27 by 2002. Given a Change Index of -1.09, it narrowly missed being classed as one of the 100 least successful plants in the British Isles.
Ecology The habitat of R. tripartitus is in shallow pools and muddy hollows in heathland. It requires high levels of moisture and light, and low levels of nutrients. In Britain it is considered an axiophyte wherever it occurs, and it has been described as a useful bioindicator in the Mediterranean region. In the Doñana National Park in Spain, it is found in species-rich ponds of special conservation value. Although it is typically found in coastal areas, it is not tolerant of saline conditions. Its Ellenberg values in Britain are L = 9, F = 10, R = 6, N = 3, and S = 0.
Disturbance, such as trampling and grazing by livestock, is an important factor in its conservation.
It is mainly a lowland plant, recorded only as high as 300 m in Britain, at Belstone in Devon (by William Keble Martin in 1934).

Pierre Singaravélou (born 18 January 1977) is a French Global historian who is a British Academy Global Professor of History at King’s College London. He is also full Professor of Modern History at Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University and director of the Center for Asian History (Sorbonne). Professor Singaravélou is the former director of the Sorbonne University Press and an honorary fellow of the Institut universitaire de France (IUF, Academic Institute of France).
Career From 2009 to 2014, he was senior lecturer at the Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University (Sorbonne) in the Department of history, and also taught at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland. He then became a Fellow at the Institut universitaire de France (IUF, Academic Institute of France) from 2013 to 2018. As of 2015, he is full professor of modern history at the Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University. At the same time, he was appointed director of the Sorbonne University Press from 2015 to 2019. He is currently British Academy Global Professor at King’s College London.
Research Pierre Singaravélou specialises in the modern period and has written extensively on global history and the history of colonial empires.
He is the author of several books, TV Documentaries and international exhibitions in French, English and Spanish. His particular focus has been on the ways in which empires exploit, adapt to, and are often disrupted by global movements. His works show how Globalisation was decisively shaped by nineteenth-century imperialism. He is co-editor of Monde(s), French journal of Global history and the founding editor of the book series “histoire-monde”. He occasionally writes op-eds for the French newspaper Le Monde and Libération’'.
Social Sciences in Colonial Context Singaravélou began his research by proposing a social and political history of French Orientalism in Asia from the end of the 19th century to the 1950s. In his first book on the French School of the Far East, he demonstrated both the continuing archaeological predations in Indochina and the decisive role of asian intellectuals in the elaboration of knowledge. Then Pierre Singaravélou brought together the social and intellectual history ion the social sciences with imperial history. His book Professing Empire, he understood the ways in which French academic culture interacted with colonial expansion, through the institutionalisation of the colonial sciences between 1880 and 1940.
Counterfactual Thinking In his book, written with Q. Deluermoz and published by Yale University Press in 2021, Pierre Singaravélou examines counterfactual history, futures past, and alternate histories of the future. ‘A Past of Possibilities. A History of What Could Have Been’ explores the limits and potentials of counterfactual thinking, providing a survey of its uses, methodological issues on the possible in history and social sciences, and practical proposals for using counterfactual history in research and the wider public.
Imperial Globalisation in China His book Tianjin Cosmopolis (2017) is focused on a short period of time, between 1900 and 1902, when an international government took over the Chinese city of Tianjin. Singaravélou studies also the establishment of nine imperial powers in the city and its agglomeration, in the form of foreign concessions, which quickly became, under the modernising influence of Chinese elites, a unique place for interaction between natives and foreigners. His work shows how part of the Chinese elites were able to meet the challenges of internationalisation at the end of the nineteenth-century.
France in the World Pierre Singaravélou was one of the coordinators of France in the World. A New Global History published in 2017 under the direction of Patrick Boucheron. The book was released during the French presidential election and became a best-seller in France. The authors were attacked by Eric Zemmour and far-right intellectuals. This work had a great influence in almost all European countries where historians explicitly draw on this French book to propose their own version : Italy (Storia mondiale dell’Italia), Sicily (Storia mondiale della Sicilia), Netherlands (Wereldgeschiedenis van Nederland), Flanders (Wereldgeschiedenis van Vlaanderen), Spain (Historia mundial de España), Catalonia (Història mundial de Catalunya) and Germany (Deutschland. Globalgeschichte einer Nation).
