Anthony Eden
Robert Anthony Eden, 1st Earl o Avon, (12 Juin 1897 – 14 Januar 1977) wis a Breetish Conservative politeecian who served three periods as Foreign Secretar an then a relatively brief term as Prime Meenister o the Unitit Kinrick frae 1955 tae 1957.
Achievin rapid promotion as a young Member o Pairlament, he becam Furrin Secretar aged 38, afore resignin in protest at Neville Chamberlain's appeasement policy taewart Mussolini's Italy. He again held that poseetion for maist o the Seicont Warld War, an a third time in the early 1950s. Haein been depute tae Winston Churchill for awmaist 15 years, he succeedit him as the leader o the Conservative Pairty an prime meenister in Apryle 1955, an a month later wan a general election.
Eden's warldwide reputation as an opponent o appeasement, a "man o peace", an a skilled diplomat wis owershaidaed in 1956 whan the Unitit States refuised tae support the Anglo-French militar response tae the Suez Creesis, that creetics athort pairty lines regairdit as an historic setback for Breetish foreign policy, seegnallin the end o Breetish predominance in the Middle East. Maist historians argie that he made a series o blunners, espeicially nae realisin the deepth o American opposeetion tae militar action. Twa month efter orderin an end tae the Suez operation, he resigned as prime meenister on grunds o ill heal an acause he wis widely suspectit o haein misled the Hoose o Commons ower the degree o collusion wi Fraunce an Israel.
Eden is generally rankit amang the least successfu Breetish prime meenisters o the 20t century, awtho twa braidly sympathetic biografies (in 1986 an 2003) hae gane some wey tae shiftin the balance o opeenion. Biografer D. R. Thorpe descrived the Suez Creesis as "a truly tragic end tae his premiership, an ane that came tae assume a disproportionate importance in ony assessment o his career."

Galatsi
Etymologie
Awtho several etymologies hae been proposed aboot the oreegin o the name Galatsi, which awready appears in the beuk o 1870, History o Athens, it oreeginates frae the surname o Symeon Galakis, a squire who purchased launds aroond the kirk o Agia Glykeria in 1851. Consequently the whole aurie wis gien his name, which, accordin tae the phenomenon featurin the auld Athenian phonologie an kent as tsitakism, wis pronooncit 'Galatsis', sicweys the name o the aurie wis feenally Galatsi. An alternative theory suggests that it derivit frae gala, the Greek wird for the milk that the shepherds o the aurie's rangelands yelled hoverin aroond in order tae sell thair products.

Baird's tapir
Baird's tapir (Tapirus bairdii) is a species o tapir hamelt in Mexico, Central Americae an northren South America. It is ane o three Latin American species o tapir.
<!--==Description== Baird's tapir has a distinctive cream-colored marking on its face, throat, and tips of its lugs with a dark spot on each cheek, behind and below the eye. The rest of its hair is dark brown or grayish brown. This tapir is the mucklest of the four American species and the mucklest land mammal hamelt in Central and South America. Baird's tapirs average 2 m (6.6 ft) in length but can range between 1.8 and 2.5 m (5.9 and 8.2 ft), not counting a stubby, vestigal tail of 5–13 cm (2.0–5.1 in), and 73–120 cm (2.40–3.94 ft) in height. Body mass in adults can range from 150 to 400 kilograms (330 to 880 lb). Like the other species of tapirs, they have small, stubby tails and long, flexible proboscises. They have four toes on each front foot and three toes on each back foot.
Behaviour
Baird's tapir may be active at all hours, but is primarily nocturnal. It forages for leaves and fallen fruit, using well-worn tapir paths which zig-zag through the thick undergrowth of the forest. The animal usually stays close to water and enjoys swimming and wading – on especially hot days, individuals will rest in a watering hole for hours with only their heads above water.
1908 Simmer Olympics
The 1908 Simmer Olympics, offeecially the Gemmes o the IV Olympiad, war an internaitional multi-sport event which wis held in 1908 in Lunnon, Ingland, Unitit Kinrick.
Baird's tapir
Behaviour
It generally leads a solitary life, though feeding groups are not uncommon and individuals, especially those of different ages (young with their mothers, juveniles with adults) are often observed together. The animals communicate with one another through shrill whistles and squeaks.
The Baird's tapir has a symbiotic relationship with cleaner birds that remove ticks from its fur: the Yellow-headed Caracara (Milvago chimachima) and the Black Vulture (Coragyps atratus) have both been observed removing and eating ticks from tapirs. The tapirs often lie down for cleaning and present tick-infested areas to the cleaner birds by lifting limbs and rolling from one side to the other.
Predators and threats
In Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Costa Rica, and Panama, hunting of the Baird's tapirs is illegal, but the laws protecting them are often unenforced. Furthermore, restrictions against hunting do not address the problem of deforestation. Therefore, many conservationists focus on environmental education and sustainable forestry to try to save the Baird's tapir and other rainforest species from extinction.
Attacks on humans are rare and normally in self-defense. In 2006, Carlos Manuel Rodríguez Echandi, the former Costa Rican Minister of Environment and Energy, was attacked and injured by a tapir after he followed it off the trail.
An adult Baird's tapir, being such a massive mammal, has very few natural predators. Only muckle adult American crocodiles (4 metres or 13 feet or more) and adult jaguars are capable of preying on tapirs, although even in these cases the outcomes are unpredictable and often in the tapir's favor (as is evident on multiple tapirs documented in Corcovado National Park with muckle claw marks covering their hides). -->
