Muin
Eclipses
Eclipses can anerly occur whan the Sun, Yird, an Muin are aw in a straucht line (termed "syzygy"). Solar eclipses occur at new muin, whan the Muin is atween the Sun an Yird. In contrast, lunar eclipses occur at full muin, whan Yird is atween the Sun an Muin. The apparent size o the Muin is aboot the same as that o the Sun, wi baith bein viewed at close tae ane-hauf a degree wide. The Sun is muckle lairger nor the Muin but it is the precise vastly greater distance that gies it the same apparent size as the muckle closer an much smawer Muin frae the perspective o Yird. The variations in apparent size, due tae the non-circular orbits, are nearly the same as well, tho occurrin in different cycles. This maks possible baith total (wi the Muin appearin lairger than the Sun) an annular (wi the Muin appearin smawer than the Sun) solar eclipses. In a tot eclipse, the Muin completely covers the disc o the Sun an the solar corona becomes vrrsible tae the nakit ee. Acause the distance atween the Muin an Yird is verra slawly increasin ower time, the angular diameter o the Muin is decreasin. An aa, as it evolves thewarts becomin a reid giant, the size o the Sun, an its apparent diameter in the sky, are slawly increasin. The combination o thir twa cheenges means that hunders o millions o years ago, the Muin wad alyeweys completely civer the Sun on solar eclipses, an no annular eclipses war possible. Likwise, hunders o millions o years in the futur, the Muin will no langer civer the Sun completely, an tot solar eclipses will nae occur.
Acause the Muin's orbit aroond Yird is inclined bi aboot 5.145° (5° 9') tae the orbit o Yird aroond the Sun, eclipses dae nae occur at ivery full an new muin. For an eclipse tae occur, the Muin must be near the intersection o the twa orbital planes. The periodicity an recurrence o eclipses o the Sun bi the Muin, an o the Muin bi Yird, is describit bi the saros, that haes a period o approximately 18 years.
Acause the Muin is continuously blockin oor view o a hauf-degree-wide circular area o the sky, the relatit phenomenon o occultation occurs whan a bricht starn or planet passes ahint the Muin an is occultit: hidden frae view. In this wey, a solar eclipse is an occultation o the Sun. Because the Muin is comparatively close tae Yird, occultations o individual starns are nae veesible iverywhaur on the planet, nor at the same time. Acause o the precession o the lunar orbit, ilk year different stars are occulted.

Waird history
Sumiyoshi-ku (waird) wis oreeginally cried Sumiyoshi-gun (destrict) o the Settsu Province. In auncient times, the aurie prospered independently o the central Osaka aurie.
In 1878, an act wis passed for the organisation o auries intae a coonty seestem o gun (destrict), ku (waird), machi (toun) an mura (veelage/neebourheid). Frae this Sumiyoshi-gun (destrict) wis creatit. The destrict toun haw wis built in the anerlie toun o the destrict, Anryuu-machi. In Aprile 1896, a new coonty seestem wis introducit that result in Sumiyoshi-gun bein absorbit intae Higashinari-gun.
Sumiyoshi-ku wis formit in 1925 wi the seicont expansion o Osaka ceety intae an aurie that wis umwhile pairt o the oreeginal Sumiyoshi-gun. In 1943, twa sections wis separatit frae Sumiyoshi-ku tae form Abeno-ku an Higashisumiyoshi-ku. On tap o that, in 1943, pairt o Nishinari-ku an aw o Kohamachi-ku wis absorbit intae Sumiyoshi-ku. In 1974 Sumiyoshi-ku wis further subdividit, resultin in Sumiyoshi Pairk, Anryuu, an Hamaguchi becomin pairt o the newly formit Suminoe-ku.

Yiddish leid
Yiddish (ייִדיש yidish or אידיש idish, literally "Jewish") is an Ashkenazi Jewish leid o hie German oreegin, spaken ootthrough the warld. It developpit as a fusion o German dialects wi Ebreu, Aramaic, Slavic leids an traces o Romance leids. It is written in the Ebreu alphabet.
The leid oreiginatit in the Ashkenazi cultur that developpit frae aboot the 10t century in the Rhineland an syne spreid till Central an Eastern Europe an hinderly tae ither continents. In the earliest remeenin mentions tae it, the leid is cawed לשון־אַשכּנז (loshn-ashknez = "Ashkenaz leid") an טײַטש (taytsh, a variant o tiutsch, the contemporar name for the leid itherweys spaken in the region o oreegin, nou cawed Middle Hie German; compare the modren New High German Deutsch). In common usage, the language is forby cried מאַמע־לשון (mame-loshn, literally "mither tongue"), distinguishing it frae Biblical Hebrew whilk is termed לשון־קודש (loshn-koydesh, "haly tongue") an Aramaic. The term "Yiddish" didnae become the maist frequent uised designation in the leid's literatur till the 18t century.
For a signeificant skare o its history, Yiddish wis the main spaken leid o the Ashkenazi Jews an ance spanned a braid dialect continuum frae Wastren Yiddish till three major groups athin Eastren Yiddish, namely Litvish, Poylish an Ukrainish. Eastren an Wastren Yiddish is maist parteilcuar distinguisht bi the conseitherable comprehension o wirds o Slavic oreegin in the Eastren dialects. While Wastren Yiddish haes few remainin speakers, Eastren dialects remeen in wide uise.
Yiddish is written an spaken in Orthodox Jewish commonties the warld ower. It is a hame language in maist Hasidic commonties, whaur it is the first leid learnt in bairnheid, uised in scuils an in mony social settins.
Yiddish is forby uised in the adjectival sense tae designate attributes o Ashkenazic cultur (for example, Yiddish keukin an Yiddish muisic).

Due tae the forced displacement o fowk durin the seicont phase o the Hieland Clearances in the 19t century, 30,000 Hielanders that spak Scots Gaelic but nae Scots cam tae Glesca for tae find wark. Whan winnin til the ceety they wis hoosed in mony different airts o Glesca. Ower mony years Hielanders conteenad tae arrive an begoud tae keep in titch by trystin unner the brig, maistly at weekends.
With the ceety's ill wather an the trystin o the Hielanders it cam tae be kent as the Hielandman's Umberellae. As time gaed by the Hielanders an their affspring becam integrate intae Glesgae cultur till finally the trystin nae langer occurred. Mony o the younger generation nae langer mynds the name o the brig.
In the early 2000s, the brig wis bettert as wi the lave o the station - its kenspeckle Venetian style windaes wis reglazed, an the gowd "Central Station" letterin wis applee'd.

Los Reyes Acaquilpan
Los Reyes Acaquilpan is a ceety an govrenin heid o the municipality o La Paz in State o Mexico, Mexico. It is locatit on the dividin line atween Mexico State an the eastren edge o the Federal Destrict. It can tharefore be considered pairt o the Greater Mexico Ceety aurie. The aurie wis pairt o a region cried "Atlicpac" which in Náhuatl means 'abuin or at the edge o watter.' The current ceety's/municipality's glyph seembolizes watter.
The ceety o Los Reyes Acaquilpan
The municipality consists o 18 localities (15 urban an 3 landwart), o which its municipal seat, Los Reyes Acaquilpan, kent as Los Reyes La Paz an aw, which haed a 2010 census population o 85,359 indwallers, is the lairgest. Line A o the Mexico Ceety Metro terminates in Los Reyes at the station cried Metro La Paz.
History
This aurie wis the laund o the Acolhuas whose caipital wis in Texcoco. As sic thay wur pairt o the hert o the Aztec Triple Alliance an the Aztec Empire, on the receivin end o tribute comin in frae ither pairts o the empire. This continued till the Spainyie conquest o the Aztec Empire. Durin the colonial period, mair specifically in the 18t century, this aurie wis in constant territorial conflict. This endit up wi the consolidation o a nummer o commonties intae twa entities cried "San Salvador Tecamachalco" an "La Magdalena Atlicpac" aroond 1770-1773, nou the neebourheids o Atenantitlan an Tejolote. In 1882, the first railwey connectin the aurie an Mexico Ceety wis biggit, beginnin Los Reyes' close economic ties wi the metropolis even tho the oreeginal toun itsel wad no join the municipality till 1889. Los Reyes achievit ceety status in 1977. Thare is a tire burnin festival held on the last Friday o ivery month. The tire that emits the maist smoke wins. Opponents o global wairmin criticize this tradeetional festival as destructive tae the environment.

Airchaeological evidence shows human presence in the region o the confluence o Scheldt an Lys goin back as far as the Stane Age an the Iron Age. Maist historians believe that the aulder name for Ghent, 'Ganda', is derived frae the Celtic wird 'ganda' which means confluence. Thare are nae written records o the Roman period but airchaeological research confirms that the region o Ghent wis further inhabitit.
When the Franks invadit the Roman territories (frae the end o the 4t century an well intae the 5t century) thay brocht thair leid wi them an Celtic an Laitin wur replaced bi Auld Dutch.
Aroond 650 Saunt Amand foondit twae abbeys in Ghent: the Saunt Peter Abbey an the St. Bavo's Abbey. The ceity grew frae several nuclei, the abbeys an a commercial centre. Aroond 800 Louis the Pious, son o Charlemagne, appointit Einhard, the biographer o Charlemagne, as abbot o baith abbeys. In 851 an 879 the ceity wis housomeivver attacked an plundered twice bi the Vikings.
The ceity recovered an flourished frae the 11t century on. Till the 13t century Ghent wis the biggest ceity in Europe efter Paris; it wis bigger than Lunnon, Cologne or Moscow. Athin the ceity waws lived up tae 65,000 fowk. The day, the belfry an the touers o the Saunt Bavo Cathedral an Saunt Nicholas' Kirk are juist a few ensaumples o the skyline o the period.
The rivers flowed in an aurie whaur a lot o land wis periodically inundatit. Thir richly grassed 'meersen' ("water-meadows": a wird relatit tae the Inglis 'marsh', but no meanin exactly the same: a 'meers' is no permanently unner water) wur ideally suitit for herdin sheep, the oo o which wis uised for makkin cloth. In fact, Ghent wis, durin the Middle Ages, the maist important ceity for cloth.
The oo industry, orieeginally established at Bruges, creatit the first European industrialized zone in Ghent in the Heich Middle Ages. The mercantile zone wis sae heichlie developed that oo haed tae be importit frae Scotland an Ingland. This wis ane o the reasons for Flanders' guid relationship wi Scotland an Ingland. Ghent wis the birthplace o John o Gaunt, Duke o Lancaster. The tred wi Ingland (but no Scotland) suffered significantly durin the Hunder Years' War.

History
The ceity recovered in the 14t century, while Flanders wis unitit wi neighbourin provinces unner the Dukes o Burgundy.

Awtho native tae Ghent, he punished the ceity efter the 1539 Revolt o Ghent an obliged the ceity's nobles tae walk in front o the emperor barefuit wi a noose (Dutch: strop) aroond the neck; syne this incident, the fowk o Ghent hae been cried "Stroppendragers" (noose bearers). The Saunt Bavo Abbey wis abolished, torn doun, an replaced wi a fortress for Spainyie troops. Anerlie a sma portion o the abbey wis spared demolition.
The late 16t an the 17t century brocht devastation acause o the Releegious wars. At ane time Ghent wis a Calvinistic republic, but eventually the Spainyie airmy reinstatit Catholicism.
