The Laramide orogeny was a time of mountain building in western North America. It started in the Upper Cretaceous, 70 to 80 million years ago. It ended 35 to 55 million years ago.
The Laramide orogeny occurred in a series of pulses, with quiet phases in between. The main feature was a deep-seated orogeny, from Canada to northern Mexico. The easternmost mountain-building is the Black Hills of South Dakota.
When Pangaea broke up, the Americas moved West. The buckling effect of this was the Andes and the Rockies. They over-rode existing continental plates and buckled up to produce the mountain ranges on the west of the Americas.
The Wild Wild West is an American Western, espionage and science fiction television series created by Michael Garrison. It aired on the television network CBS for four seasons from September 17, 1965, to April 11, 1969.

Nipmuc
The Nipmuc or Nipmuck people are Native Americans originally from present-day Massachusetts and parts of Connecticut and Rhode Island. They are from the Northeastern Woodlands culture. Their language is in the Eastern Algonquian language family. They did hunting, fishing and farming (mostly corn). They moved for different seasons. Family groups lived in villages. They were led by chiefs. These villages were often not allied with other Nipmuc villages. Villages allied with stronger neighbors like the Mohegan or Massachuset. Many Natives died from European diseases. Nipmuc supported Metacomet in King Philip's War. Many were forced to stay in Boston Harbor. Others were killed or forced into slavery. The Puritan missionary John Eliot converted Natives and created praying towns. The state of Massachusetts recognizes the Nipmuc people.
Hei elei, kuck elei
It was produced by CLT. The editor-in-chief and main moderator was Jean Octave, and in later broadcasts, Lucien Michels also (co-)moderated various broadcasts. The program usually consisted of a weekly review, and occasional reports, debates, music or theater performances, etc.
The initiator of this magazine was the former general director of the CLT, Gust Graas . It was also he who suggested the name "Hei elei, kuck elei".
In the 1980s, RTL-Hei also produced and showed four fiction films: "Die zwem vm Bierg" (in 6 episodes), "E Fall fir" sech, "E" Lieve laang and "De falschen Hond".
It is probably the most famous Luxembourgish phrase in the Netherlands. This comes from the fact that, when RTL launched a television program in Dutch ("RTL Veronique", today's "RTL4"), this program had to be officially "Luxembourgish", because it did not have a Dutch license and was only allowed to be broadcast as a "foreign" program Cable networks are included. Therefore, around midnight, when the program was over, or early in the morning, before it started, "Hei elei, kuck elei" was broadcast. Especially among young people, it had a certain cult status to watch "Hei elei" before (or after) going out and enjoying the successful program.

Paximathia
Paximathia, or Paximadia (; singular: paximathi/paximadi), are hard breads of Greek origin. They are made from wheat, chickpea, or barley-flour. Paximathia are seen as similar to biscotti or type of biscotti. They are sold in many Greek bakeries and are a common food in Greece often served as breakfast with marmalade or cheese. Paximathia are also supplied in Greek stores in many parts of the United States.
Paximathia were eaten by Greek farmers, the Byzantine army, and priests. Greek farmers would eat paximathia in their fields after softening them by soaking them in water and olive oil. They sometimes ate them with other foods like homemade cheese and a few olives. Paximathia used to be baked outdoors in ovens around every ten to fifteen days, after which the bread would be sliced into thick wedges and put back into the ovens to dry. They were an important food for the people of Crete.
Paximathia are made with wheat, chickpea, or barley-flour. Other ingredients used may include eggs, vegetable oil, cinnamon, cloves, and orange zest. Today, paximathia are usually baked overnight in ovens that have been turned off, whereby the bread is cooked from the remaining heat. This method cooks the bread to a dry state without creating brittleness that can cause crumbling. Paximathia is sometimes broken into pieces and served in salads after being moistened.
Paximathia are in "dakos", which is a Greek salad made on the island of Crete. In Crete, a type of paximathi called a "koulouri" is ring-shaped and served dried with olive oil, oregano and grated tomato. "Eptazymo" is another type of paximathi made with chickpeas.

Placenta cake
Placenta cake is a dessert from ancient Greece and Rome made of many layers of dough, mixed with cheese and honey, flavored with bay leaves, baked and then covered in honey. It is mentioned in the Greek poems of Archestratos and Antiphanes, as well as in the "De Agri Cultura" of Cato the Elder.
The Latin word "placenta" comes from the Greek word "plakous" used for thin or layered breads. The word "plakous" comes from the Greek word "plakoeis" () meaning "flat".
The placenta cake first appears as "plakous" () in the ancient Greek poems of Archestratos who describes it as a dessert served with nuts and dried fruits. Antiphanes in 4th century BC describes "plakous" as a dessert made with wheat flour and goat's cheese.
In 160 BC, Cato the Elder wrote a recipe for "placenta" in his "De Agri Cultura" following the Greek recipe for "plakous". Cato possibly copied the recipe from a Greek cookbook.

Pei Haozheng
Pei has designed several origami-themed TV projects and hundreds of lifelike models, promoting the origami art form to a growing audience. His work has a positive nouveau influence on modern origami art because of its cultural value and humanitarian ideal. For instance, his "Zijin Grass" is known to over 100 million people as the "flower of peace" in remembrance of victims.
Pei started folding paper when he was in kindergarten. At first, he learned origami from teachers and parents, and later he copied the patterns from books. In early 2007, he came across a crease pattern designed by Robert J. Lang, an origami master from the United States. It was mind-blowing for him, and it opened for him a new world of ideas for the art.
He continued to learn origami through theory books, such as "Origami Design Secrets" by Mr. Lang. As the quantity of his work grew, so did its variety and quality. During his middle school education, Pei created several unique designs, including a 60-centimeter-tall work featuring an angel with six wings folded from a 2-meter-long square sheet of paper. It took him numerous attempts to get everything right.
In 2016, Pei won a bronze prize at the International Origami Internet Olympiad (IOIO). The next year, he became the champion of the competition. For the event's final task, he folded an ancient Chinese woman holding a mirror from a sheet of handmade xuanzhi (rice paper), which impressed judges with its exquisite shape and Eastern style. In 2018, he was invited to be the event's task designer. His work "Bailuyuan" was selected as the edition's mascot, which attracted the attention of contestants from 54 countries and regions.
In 2019, Pei attended the Zijin Grass International Peace Summer School and taught origami to several international peace envoys. In June of that year, he devoted to the "Micro Light Program" jointly initiated by Amity Foundation and Ergeng Public Welfare, which has enlightened more than 50,000 students.
In March 2023, Pei set his second Guinness World Record for the largest origami snail. He then gave a lecture, "The Mark of Origami", at MSL of Tianjin University. In May, he took part in the activity of "National Science and Technology Workers Day" at Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology. In June, as a special guest of the Lenovo Beijing Future Center, he gave a lecture, "A Glimpse of Science and Art with a Piece of Paper". In July, he attended Youyang Poetry Festival in Chongqing with many famous artists, scientists, and cultural relics experts.
In 2017 and 2018, Pei was invited to the Chinese version of "Super Brain", a competitive reality show on Jiangsu Satellite TV. The show gave him an opportunity to meet Mr. Lang, both as judges for the show. Pei made 20 models for display there and received the praise of Mr. Lang for his repertoire of techniques.
In late 2018, Pei took up the challenge of creating a solar panel in origami style at "Forward to the Future", a science show on China Central Television. He successfully built the panel that folds up to 1 square meter, which when unfolded becomes a structure of 81 square meters.
In 2020, Pei participated in 10 episodes of "Power of Youth", a competitive reality show on Anhui Satellite TV. He successfully went through all the challenges about ancient and modern civilization and won the most "power medals" as well as a scientific research fund.
In 2021, on behalf of Chinese youth, Pei was invited to express his ideas at "Voice", the first open class for youth on China Central Television. He gave an "Ice Cube" Voronoi tessellation model to Zheng Fang, the architect of several Olympic stadiums in the 2008 Summer Olympic Games and the 2022 Winter Olympic Games.
In 2022, Pei was invited to deliver a speech titled "5 Minutes to Change the Future" at "Day Day Up" on Hunan Satellite TV, bringing a new perspective to the audience.

Countries outside Britain also have such clubs. In many cases, they were associated with the British Empire: There are important ones in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. They can also be found in many of the bigger American cities.
Gentlemen's clubs were made so that their members could spend time there, instead of being at home. Such a club typically contains a formal dining room, a bar, a library, a billiards room and one or more rooms for reading, gaming or socializing. Many clubs also have guest rooms and fitness amenities. Some are associated mainly with sports and regularly hold other events such as formal dining.

Steppe buzzard
The Steppe buzzard ("Buteo buteo vulpinus") is a bird of prey, very widespread in the Old World. It lives in mostly of most of Central Asia, and other Turanian regions. It breeds as far as the northern Caucacus, northern Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, much of Russia to Altai and south-central Siberia, Tien Shan in China and western Mongolia. "B. b. vulpinus" is a long-distance migrant. It winters largely in much of eastern and southern Africa. Less frequently and often very discontinuously, steppe buzzards winter in the southern peninsulas of Europe, Arabia and southwestern India in addition to some parts of southeastern Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. In the open country favoured on the wintering grounds, steppe buzzards are often seen perched on roadside telephone poles.
Within Turkistan it is the National bird of East Turkestan.
Nuclear binding energy is the energy needed to break an atomic nucleus into protons and neutrons. Atoms with higher binding energy are more stable, because you would have to add more energy to break them.
Protons and neutrons are attracted to each other by the "nuclear force". This is a form of the "strong interaction" that acts over a longer distance than usual. Together, protons and neutrons are called "nucleons".
The binding energy per nucleon is the binding energy of an atom, divided by its number of protons and neutrons. Iron-56 has the highest binding energy per nucleon. This makes it the most stable isotope of any element. Both smaller and larger atoms may eventually move towards Iron-56 by gaining or losing nucleons.
The term "nuclear binding energy" can be confusing. An atom with a higher nuclear binding energy "does not" have more energy stored in its nucleus. Actually, atoms with more binding energy have "less" energy stored inside.
Energy from atoms can be released by nuclear fission or nuclear fusion. It can be used in nuclear power or nuclear weapons.

Wild Bactrian camel
The Wild Bactrian camel ("Camelus ferus") is a critically endangered species of camel living in East Turkestan and southwestern Mongolia. It is closely related to the Bactrian camel ("Camelus bactrianus"). Both are large, double-humped even-toed ungulates native to the steppes of central Asia. Until recently, wild Bactrian camels were thought to have descended from domesticated Bactrian camels that became feral after being released into the wild. However, genetic studies have established it as a separate species that diverged from the Bactrian camel about 1.1 million years ago.

Nuptial pad
A nuptial pad (also known as thumb pad, or nuptial excrescence) is a thick piece of flesh on the front feet of some frogs and salamanders. Only adult male animals have this pad.
The nuptial pad is a gland. It is a secondary sex characteristic. The male animals use the nuptual pad to hold on to females when they mate, but it does not make or move sperm itself. Some animals use their nuptial pads to fight each other.
Austrian biologist Paul Kammerer looked at midwife toads' nuptial pads. He believed in Lamarckian evolution. This means he thought that the male frogs' pads got bigger in their own lifetimes, and then they passed the big pads on to their young after that. But this is not how evolution truly works.
Many amphibian species grow nuptial pads for mating. For example, the rough-skinned newt ("Taricha granulosa") does.

Kashmir Koklass pheasant
The Kashmir Koklass Pheasant "(Pucrasia macrolopha biddulphi)", although called a pheasant, is related to grouses and is only a distant relative to the pheasants. Grouses are actually birds from the order Galliformes, which are heavy-bodied ground-feeding birds that include chicken and quail. In the monotypic genus Pucrasia, the Koklass Pheasant is the only species. Koklass is an adapted species that has been put into three different groups of species and again divided into subspecies. It is the only species in the genus Pucrasia to be divided into nine subspecies.
It is found in a wide range from Asia, across Afghanistan to China. The range of the subspecies can be found at quite a distance from each other. The Koklass Pheasant is part of the few species related to galliforms that regularly fly uphill and can fly at a time for many miles. Galliform species are not normally known to fly. Koklass Pheasants look more similar to the grouses than a regular pheasant.
Both the words Koklass and Pheasants from the name of Koklass Pheasants have been derived from the territorial call of the birds. The territorial call of the male is 'kok-kok-kok'.
The male Koklass Pheasant is usually black in colour with each feather on the body covered with a pale white border. The male is much larger than the female in size and also much colourful. The male has a metallic green face, head, throat, and crest. They have chestnut on the chest and breast and a streaked appearance to the body. A white cheek patch is found along with a rust throat, chest and belly. The backs of the body are mostly grey and the wings are brown and tan coloured. The male species have a black beak and dark grey legs. The female has a dark grey beak and the same dark grey legs. The female Koklass has a cream-brown body with dark markings, a cream-colored face, white cheeks, and a throat patch. The female has white tips on the outside tail feathers. The female Koklass Pheasants has a fairly dull body. Both the male and female have wedge-shaped tails. The chicks and the first-year adults look similar to the females. They only attain the dark male body coloration after they mature.
Within Pakistan it is the State bird of Azad Kashmir.
Geranium clarkei
Geranium clarkei, called Clarke's geranium, Kashmir Purple Geranium, Kashmir White or the Kashmir's Cranesbill is a species of flowering plant in the family Geraniaceae, native to India and cultivated for use in gardens.
It is an herbaceous perennial growing to in height, with deeply cut 7-lobed leaves and white or purple flowers with pink veining in summer. It spreads by underground rhizomes, and is used for groundcover or the front of a border. A rhizomatous hardy geranium that is native to alpine meadows in the mountains of Kashmir. It typically grows in a clump to 18" tall, spreading outward by creeping stems to 18" wide. Purple-violet or white, upward-facing flowers (to 3/4" diameter) with contrasting dark veins profusely bloom from late spring to early summer. Dark green leaves are deeply cut into 7 segments and form an attractive foliage mat.
Genus name comes from the Greek word "geranos" meaning crane in reference to the fruit which purportedly resembles the head and beak of a crane.
Kashmir White is a large-flowered cultivar which typically grows in a clump to 18" tall, spreading outward by creeping stems to 18" wide, and features a profuse bloom of white, upward-facing flowers (to 2" diameter) with contrasting violet-pink veins.
Easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Prefers moist, humusy, well-drained soils, particularly in hot summer climates. Intolerant of drought. Performs best in cool summer climates, and is intolerant of the heat and humidity of the deep South. Shear off spent flowers after bloom to encourage additional bloom or tidy the planting. In the alternative, plants may be left alone after flowering to promote self-seeding.
'Kashmir White' self-seeds in the garden in optimum growing conditions, but flower colour in particular does not reliably come true from seed.
Within Pakistan it is the State flower of Azad Kashmir.

The Union of the Crowns (; ) was the accession of James VI of Scotland to the throne of the Kingdom of England as James I. It is also the consequential unification for some purposes (such as overseas diplomacy) of the two realms under a single monarch on 24 March 1603.
In its turn, the English Parliament responded with the Alien Act 1705. This threatened to impose economic sanctions and declare Scottish subjects aliens in England, unless Scotland either repealed the Act of Security or moved to unite with England. The Estates chose the latter option; the English Parliament agreed to repeal the Alien Act, and new commissioners were appointed by Queen Anne I in early 1706 to negotiate the terms of a union. The articles of union approved by the commissioners were presented to Anne on 23 July 1706. Then it was ratified by the Scottish and English Parliaments on 16 January and 6 March 1707, respectively. Under the Acts of Union, England and Scotland were united into a single kingdom called Great Britain, with one parliament, on 1 May 1707.
