List of Kurdish states, dynasties and countries
This is a list of Kurdish dynasties, countries and autonomous territories. By the 10th century, the term "Kurd" did not have an ethnic connotation and referred to Iranian nomads in the region between Lake Van and Lake Urmia. In Arabic medieval sources, "Kurd" referred non-Persian and non-Turkish nomads and semi-nomads.
Except for the Kurdish languages, some ethnic Kurds speak Zaza and Gorani languages.

2.Guttians
3.Hurrians
4.Mittani
5.Madia-Media.Medes
There are two autonomous regions established by the Kurds. The first one is the Kurdistan Regional Government, which was established as a result of the initiatives of the Iraqi Kurds and is the only officially recognised Kurdish administration today. The second region is the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria, which the Syrian Kurds unilaterally declared first as autonomous cantons and then as a federation in the regions they captured during the Syrian Civil War.
Paintings and art were collected by the Prussian government, not through a royal dynasty. It's collection intended to give a European overview. The collection first opened in 1830 and expanded throughout the 19th century, adding over 1000 paintings and artworks. In 1904, the museum moved to Kaiser Friedrich Museum, today Bode Museum.

Coronary circulation
Coronary circulation is the movement of blood in the blood vessels that give blood containing oxygen to the heart muscle. Cardiac veins then take the blood after the heart muscle has used up the oxygen. The rest of the body relies on the heart pumping out blood rich with oxygen, so it is vital the heart is given a lot of oxygen to keep up with the demand from the body.
Coronary arteries give blood to the cardiac muscle. The left coronary artery distributes blood to the left side of the heart, the left atrium and ventricle, and the interventricular septum. The right coronary artery goes along the coronary sulcus and distributes blood to the right atrium, portions of both ventricles

Geology of Great Britain
The geology of Great Britain is varied. With its eventful geological history, Great Britain has a variety of landscapes. Rocks of almost all geological ages can be seen, from the Archaean onwards.
Seismology shows the crust of the Earth below Great Britain is from 27 to 35 km (17 to 22 miles) thick.
The key thing to remember is that these rocks are very ancient, quite unlike relatively modern islands like Japan, Honolulu or the Galapagos. These are relatively new islands which are volcanic in origin. Quite different are the British Isles, which are formed from extremely ancient rocks which were part of ancient continents. That is why you can find almost any rocks known on Earth somewhere in the British Isles, but volcanic islands are limited in their rocks.
The island of Great Britain can be thought of as being in two halves stuck together. One half is Scotland plus its various islands. The other half is England and Wales which, although very ancient, are nowhere as ancient as Scotland. The division runs across Ireland as well. Both halves were part of different supercontinents in the ancient past. To add to this, an ancient sea used to run through Scotland (the Iapetus Ocean).
The line where the ocean used to be is called the Iapetus Suture. Where it stands now, an ancient ocean once stood. The two halves were separated by 7,000 km (4,300 mi) of ocean. The Iapetus Suture runs from the Solway Firth to Lindisfarne.
The youngest rocks are found in south east England. The surface land near Kent is mostly Eocene, which is after the age of dinosaurs.
The bedrock geology consists of a complex mix of generally older metamorphic rocks. They are overlain by varying sedimentary rocks. Igneous rocks have been intruded at different times (squeezed through pre-existing rocks). The complexity of Great Britain's geology is due to its having plate tectonic processes over a very long period of time. Changing latitude and sea levels have been important: the rocks have crossed the equator during their time. Continental collisions have affected the geology, with major faulting and folding during orogeny (mountain-building periods). During orogeny, there were volcanoes and metamorphism of existing rocks.
The rocks have left resources which are never found on the more recent volcanic islands. In contrast, almost every metal found on Earth can be found in some quantity on the British Isles. Originally, copper and tin were mined by the Romans, but small quantities of most metals can be found. This is becoming important, as it prevents larger countries from having a monopoly of rare metals.
The Safavids ruled from 1501 to 1722 (experiencing a brief restoration from 1729 to 1736 and 1750 to 1773) and, at their height, they controlled all of what is now Iran, Republic of Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Armenia, eastern Georgia, parts of the North Caucasus including Russia, Iraq, Kuwait, and Afghanistan, as well as parts of Turkey, Syria, Pakistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.
Originally of Kurdish origin, which began as a Sunni mystical order, which was non-tribal, the Safavids emerged as a hereditary lineage of Sufi sheiks centred in Ardabil, belonging to the Shafi'i school and possibly of Kurdish origin. The Safavid shahs spoke Azeri brand of Turkic at the court like the qizilbash. After the capital was moved to Isfahan, Persian began to be spoken in the palace.
Thus, Shirvan and its dependencies (up to southern Dagestan in the north) were now Ismail's. The successful conquest had alarmed the ruler of the Aq Qoyunlu, Alvand, who subsequently proceeded north from Tabriz, and crossed the Aras River in order to challenge the Safavid forces, and both sides met at the battle of Sharur in which Ismail's army came out victorious despite being outnumbered by four to one. He also made an alliance with the Kurds of Dersim, even though he had bad relations with other Kurds. The Safavid dynasty rose to power in 1501, when Ismail I took the city of Tabriz from the Aq Qoyunlu Turkomans and proclaimed himself the Shah of Iran. He appointed his former guardian and mentor Husayn Beg Shamlu as the "vakil" (vicegerent) of the empire and the commander-in-chief ("amir al-umara") of the Qizilbash army.
Ismail II reigned for one year and was replaced by Mohammad Khodabanda. At the time of Mohammad Khodabanda, oreign powers took advantage of the factional discord in Iran court to seize territory for themselves. Uzbek bands attempted to invade north-east Iran before being repulsed by the governor of Mashhad. The most important event of Khodabanda's reign was the war with the Ottomans. In 1578, the Ottoman sultan Murad III began a war with Safavid Iran which was to last until 1590. In the first attack, the sultan's vizier Lala Mustafa Pasha invaded the Safavid territories comprising Georgia and Shirvan. Shirvan fell before the end of the summer of 1578, by which fact the Ottomans had now control of almost all territories west of the Caspian Sea coast, and it also opened the way for an attack on what is nowadays the core of Armenia and Azerbaijan, which were subsequently attacked in 1579 by a large contingent of Crimean Tatars, led by Adil Giray Khan, but he was captured in a remarkable counterattack led by Mirza Salman Jabiri and Hamza Mirza, and later executed in Qazvin, the Safavid capital at that time.
Against the Uzbeks
His successor, Abbas I, initiated a Reconquest, with the Uzbeks invading Khorasan first. By 1599, Abbas had conquered not only Herat and Mashhad, but had moved as far east as Balkh. This would be a short-lived victory and he would eventually have to settle on controlling only some of this conquest after the new ruler of the Khanate of Khiva, Baqi Muhammad Khan attempted to retake Balkh and Abbas found his troops were still no match for the Uzbeks. By 1603, the battle lines had stabilized, albeit with the loss of the majority of the Persian artillery. Abbas was able to hold onto most of Khorassan, including Herat, Sabzevar, Farah, and Nisa.
Abbas' north-east frontier was now safe for the time being and he could turn his attention to the Ottomans in the west. After defeating the Uzbeks, he moved his capital from Qazvin to Isfahan.
Against the Ottomans
Safavids eventually succumbed to Russian, Afghan and Ottoman pressure and was replaced by Afsharids.

The Karelo-Finnish Soviet Socialist Republic was the shortest lived part of the Soviet Union. It included part of Finland and all of Karelia. The territory was only part of the USSR for 16 years from 1940 to 1956.
The Soviets were the workers councils of the Soviet Union and the organizations the country took its name from. In theory, these councils were to govern the USSR, but in reality, Soviet power was almost always concentrated in the hands of the premiers and the highest ranking members of the Soviet Communist Party.
1924 Constitution of the Soviet Union
The 1924 Soviet Constitution was the first of three constitutions the Soviet Union had and replaced the 1918 Russian Constitution. The 1924 Constitution paved the way for later Soviet policies like the five-year plans. According to Archie Brown, none of the Soviet Constitutions were accurate guides to the political reality in the USSR.
This constitution was later replaced by the 1936 Soviet Constitution and then the 1977 Soviet Constitution.
Soviet Russia Constitution of 1918
The 1918 Russian Constitution was the prototype for later Soviet constitutions. This constitution laid out and described the regime that came to power in the former Russian Empire during the October Revolution of 1917 and set up the first dictatorship of the proletariat in world history.
1936 Constitution of the Soviet Union
The 1936 Soviet Constitution also called the Stalin Constitution was the second constitution of the Soviet Union adopted by Joseph Stalin and it was the longest lasting of all Soviet constitutions, running for 31 years. The 1936 constitution nominally granted all manner of rights to the Soviet people. In practice however, this constitution helped cement Stalin's totalitarian power and rubberstamped the Great Purge and other Soviet purges.
The 1977 Soviet Constitution was the final constitution of the USSR in effect from 1977 until the Soviet Union was dissolved in 1991. It was also called the Constitution of Developed Socialism because the preamble to the 1977 Soviet Constitution says "The aim of the dictatorship of the proletariat having been fulfilled, the Soviet State has become the state of the whole people, representing everyone, not just the workers and peasants alone" The 1977 Constitution also led to some decentralization of powers from the central Soviet Communist Party to the governments underneath it. This constitution began to allow limited private enterprise, and loosened the hours citizens were required to work at state enterprises, especially during the reign of Mikhail Gorbachev.
After Dissolution of USSR, Russia still used the 1977 Soviet Constitution until a was adopted after
Decentralization or decentralisation is the transfer of powers from a national government into the possession of the country's non-sovereign or semi-sovereign local governments of administrative divisions (state, provincial, municipal etc.) or to private entities or the citizens themselves.

State atheism is the discouragement or outlawing of religion within a country. State atheism is commonly associated with communist states, such as the Soviet Union and Vietnam, where it is based on Karl Marx's quote "religion is the opium of the people".

The Llanos (Spanish "Los Llanos", "The Plains"; ) are a very big tropical grassland on flat land east of the Andes Mountains. The Llanos are in Colombia and Venezuela, in northwestern South America. Ecologists call them an ecoregion. They put them in the same group with other tropical and subtropical grasslands, savannas, and places where small trees and bushes grow.
The Llanos go east to west. The Andes Mountains are on the west side of the Llanos and the Venezuelan Coastal Range of mountains are north of the Llanos. The Guiana Highlands are to the southeast, and the Negro-Branco moist forests are to the southwest. To the east the Orinoco wetlands and Orinoco Delta swamp forests in the Orinoco Delta.
The Orinoco River is the biggest river in the Llanos. The Orinoco River goes from west to east. The Orinoco is the biggest and most important river in Venezuela.
The Llanos have a tropical savanna climate and tropical monsoon climate. The rainy part of the year is April to November. The dry season is from December to March. The wettest months are typically June and July. In the southwest, the llanos get as much as of rain per year in the southwest, in Apure State, and per year in the Llanos of Monagas State in the northeast. The average temperature across the whole year is , and it does not change much with the seasons; the coldest months (June, July, December, and January) are only colder than the hottest months.
The Llanos have open grasslands, savannas with some trees, and small forests. The most common forest in the Llanos is gallery forests that grow next to rivers and streams. The Llanos have grasslands that flood for part of the year "llano bajo" or "low llano") and grasslands that stay dry ("llano alto" "high llano").
During the rainy season, parts of the Llanos can flood. The flood water can be a meter deep. Then the savannass and grasslands become wetlands. They become like the Pantanal of central South America. Water birds and other animals come to live in the flooded Llanos. The Llanos that flood are called llano bajo. The Llanos bajos have soil with more food chemicals in them, so different plants grow there, for example the grass "Paspalum fasciculatum" and the trees "Copernicia tectorum" and gallery forest trees.
The gallery forests that grow near rivers have both evergreen forests on the Llanos that flood and semi-deciduous forests in the high Llanos that do not flood. "Morichales" are forests that flood part of the year. They have the moriche palm ("Mauritia flexuosa"). Vegas are evergreen forests that flood part of the year. They grow near the Orinoco river and its smaller rivers. Trees form a canopy 8 to 20 meters high, and include "Inga" spp., "Combretum frangulifolium, Gustavia augusta, Pterocarpus" sp., "Etaballia dubia, Spondias mombin", and "Copaifera pubiflora".
Semi-deciduous forests grow above flood level. They form a canopy 12 to 15 meters high. The trees that grow there are, for example, "Tabebuia billbergii", "Godmania aesculifolia", "Cassia moschata", "Spondias mombin", "Copaifera pubiflora", "Bourreria cumanensis", "Cordia" spp., "Bursera simaruba", "Cochlospermum vitifolium", "Hura crepitans", and "Acacia glomerosa".
Matorrales are places with woody plants that grow 5 to 8 meters high. There are large matorrales in the middles of the Venezuelan Llanos. Scientists think they might have been dry forests long ago. They include woody plants, for example "Bourreria cumanensis", "Randia aculeata", "Godmania aesculifolia", "Pereskia guamacho", "Prosopis" spp., "Xylosma benthamii", "Erytroxylum" sp., and "Cereus hexagonus".
Fur animals live in the Llanos. For example, there are white-tailed deer ("Odocoileus virginianus"), giant anteaters ("Myrmecophaga tridactyla"), capybaras ("Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris"), giant armadillos ("Priodontes maximus"), eastern cottontail rabbits ("Sylvilagus floridanus"), Alston's cotton rats ("Sigmodon alstoni"), Hispid cotton rats ("S. hispidus"), "Zygodontomys brevicauda", and "Oecomys bicolor".
Many animals live in the gallery forests that grow next to the rivers. For example, there are the collared peccary ("Tayassu tajacu"), white-lipped peccary ("T. pecari"), South American tapir ("Tapirus terrestris"), white-tailed deer, red brocket ("Mazama americana"), wedge-capped capuchin ("Cebus olivaceus"), Venezuelan red howler ("Alouatta seniculus"), large rodents like the lowland paca ("Cuniculus paca"), agoutis ("Dasyprocta" spp.), and Brazilian porcupine ("Coendou prehensilis"), and large cats like the puma ("Puma concolor"), jaguar ("Panthera onca"), and ocelot ("Leopardus pardalis"). The endangered giant otter ("Pteronura brasiliensis") lives along the Orinoco River and its small rivers.
Some of the largest jaguars in the world live in the Llanos. The male jaguar can weigh over .
The Llanos long-nosed armadillo ("Dasypus sabanicola") and the short-tailed opossum "Monodelphis orinoci" live in the Llanos.
The Llanos' wetlands have about 70 species of water birds, for example the scarlet ibis. Many sharp-tailed ibis ("Cerbibis oxycerca") and white-bearded flycatcher ("Phelpsia inornata") also live in the Llanos.
There are reptiles in the Llanos: the Orinoco crocodile ("Crocodylus intermedius"), spectacled caiman ("Caiman crocodilus"), Green anaconda ("Eunectes murinus"), and Arrau turtle ("Podocnemis expansa") live in the flooded places.
Indigenous human beings who live in the Llanos include the Guahibo people in the western Llanos in Colombia and Venezuela, and the Yaruro people in the eastern Llanos in Venezuela.
People raised so many cows on the Llanos that the grasslands changed. Human beings set fire to the grasslands to kill trees and shrubs and grow better grass for the cows. Human beings brought new grasses from other parts of the Earth because they thought they would be better for the cows to eat. For example, they brought the African grass "Melinis minutiflora". Now, large parts of the Llanos are govered in African grass.
Much of the Llanos now has farms on it, for example rice and corn farms. Some of the rice fields are in the parts of the Llanos that flood.
