Sibelius componed proleefically till the mid-1920s, but efter completin his Seivent Symphony (1924), the incidental muisic for The Tempest (1926) an the tone poem Tapiola (1926), he stappit producin major warks in his last thirty years, a stunnin an perplexin decline commonly referred tae as "The Silence o Järvenpää", the location o his hame. Awtho he is reputit tae hae stappit componin, he attemptit tae conteena writing, includin abortive efforts on an aicht symphony. In later life, he wrote Masonic muisic an re-eeditid some earlier warks while retainin an active but nae ayeweys favourable interest in new developments in muisic.

Nuckelavee
The nuckelavee, or nuckalavee, is a demon frae Orcadian meethologie that is like horses. Thay hae equine an human elements. Comin frae Norse meethologie an the maist tairible demon o the Scots isles, its name micht be a forbeir o the ane that the Deil is whiles kent by, Auld Nick. The nuckelavee's braith can wilt craps an mak fairm beasts seek, an the craitur wis hauden responsible for drauchts an epidemics on laund, e'en tho it maistly bides in the sea.
A graphic first-haund description o the nuckelavee as it appears on laund wis gien by an island bodie that claimt tae hae haed a confrontation wi it, but accoonts describin the partieculars o the craitur's appearance isna consistent. Like a wheen ither sea monsters it canna thole caller watter, tharefore thaim that it is chasin juist haes tae gang ower a river or a burn tae win awa frae it. The nuckelavee is keppit in the simmer months bi the Mither o' the Sea, a auncient Orcadian sprit an the ae ane that can guvern it.
Orcadian fowklair haed a strang Scandinavie influence, an it micht be that the nuckelavee is a composite o a watter horse frae Celtic meethologie an a craitur importit bi the Norsemen. As wi siemilar ill-gien entities siclike as the kelpie, it offert an explanation for incidents that semple island fowk itherwise coudna unnerstaund.
Etymologie
The hinder-end o the 19t century saw interest in transcribin fowklair gang up, but the recorders uised inconsistent spellin an aften Englifee'd wirds, sicweys the same entity coud be gien different names. The term nuckelavee is a corruption o the Orcadian knoggelvi, but the same demon is cryed a mukkelevi in Shetland, whaur it wis thocht tae be a nesty sea trow or sea deil. Derivatives micht hae been the forbeirs o the name Auld Nick gien tae the Deil. By Walter Traill Dennison's (a fowklairist bidin in Orkney) wey o it, nuckelavee means "Deil o the Sea".
Description an common attributes
Stories o meethical Orcadian demons is recordit in the 16t-century Laitin manuscripts o Jo Ben, an thay micht hae been referrin tae the nuckelavee in his description o the Orkney island o Stronsay. Dennison transcribit a lot o the information available aboot tradietional tales telt on Orkney, but tae a extent romanticised an seestematically chynged certain elements o the stories in the process o turnin thaim intae prose.
The nuckelavee is a meethical sea craitur leukin like a demon that leuks like a horse whan it gangs ontae laund. Writer an fowklairist Ernest Marwick considered it vera siemilar tae the Norse nøkk, the nuggle o Shetland an the kelpie. A unique an solitar craitur wi extensive evil pouers, its ill-gien behaviour can influence events ootthrou the isles. Island fowk wis feart at the craitur an wad no speak its name athoot sayin a prayer richt awa. It wis aften fund in the vicinity o a beach, but wad niver come ashore if it wis rainin.
Nae tales describes whit form the nuckelavee taks whan in the sea, but its appearance on laund haes been recoontit in graphic detail. A island bodie, Tammas, survived a confrontation wi the beast an, efter bein cajoled by Dennison, gae his description o the monster e'en tho he wis sweir tae dui thon, the ae first-haund accoont that's kent o. By Tammas's wey o it, the nuckelavee haes a man's torso attached tae a horse's back like it wis a rider. The male torso haes nae legs, but its airms can reach the grund frae its posietion on tap o the equine bouk, the legs that haes appendages like fins. The torso haes a lairge heid – possibly as big as 3 ft in diameter – that rowes back an forrit. The monster described bi Tammas haes twa heids; the equine heid haes a muckle gapin mooth that gies aff a bowfin toxic vapour, an a single muckle ee like a burnin reid flame. A awfu gruesome detail is that the nuckelavee haes nae skin; black bluid courses throu yellae veins, an the pale sinews an pouerfu muscles can be seen as a pulsatin mass. Ither reports says that the craitur leuks like a centaur; narratives isna consiestent in the finer details o the demon's description housomeivver. Traill Dennison juist describes a man's heid wi a "mooth projectit like that o a pig". Marwick juist mentions ae heid wi a single reid ee an aw, an he borraes some o Tammas's characterisation bi recordin the craitur's mooth as "like a whaul's mooth".
The nuckelavee's braith can wilt craps an mak fairm beasts seek, an it wis thocht tae be responsible for epidemics an draucht. Seaweed burnin tae mak whit wis kent in the time as kelp begoud on Stronsay in 1722. The product – soda ash – wis a alkali maistly uised tae treat acidic soil, awtho as time gaed on its commercial importance in saip an gless-makkin gaed up. The pungent smoke emittit durin the process can gar the nuckelavee gang wuid, resultin in a wild rampage o plague, the daiths o cattle an o craps gettin destroyed. The nuckelavee infectit horse on Stronsay wi the deidly disease kent as mortasheen, tae shaw its fury an sautit the island fowk's brose for burnin seaweed; the infection syne spreidit tae aw the ither islands that wis fankelt in the industry. The craitur can impose lang periods whaur thare isna sae muckle rainfaw as thare wad be for ordinar, leadin tae a want o watter an puir hairsts.
Confinement
The nuckelavee is the maist ill-gien demon in an aboot the Scots isles, athoot ony redeemin characteristics. The ae entity that can guvern it is the Mither o' the Sea, an auncient spirt in Orcadian meethologie that keps the nuckelavee in the simmer months. Like ither meethical sea monsters, wi the possible exception o kelpies an the nuggle o Shetland, it canna gae throu caller flowin watter, tharefore the anes it is chasin can win ower a burn for tae win awa frae it. Tammas managed tae escape frae the nuckelavee efter he inadvertently splashed it wi watter frae the loch he wis alangside; this distractit the monster for a wee, allouin Tammas tae rin ower tae a channel o caller watter that wis near an lowp tae safety on the bank fornent it.
Oreegins
Ill-gien craiturs served tae provide explanations for incidents that semple island fowk itherwise coudna accoont for; a wheen auncient meeths wis based upon the naitural elements o the turbulent an iver chygin sea aboot Orkney. Estaiblished Orcadian tales haed strang influence frae Scandinavie meethologie, wi a blendin o tradietional Celtic stories, sae the nuckelavee micht hae its ruits in a meethical craitur importit bi the Norsemen, pitten thegither wi a tradietional Celtic watter horse.

Abernethy, Perth an Kinross
Abernethy (Obar Neithich) is a veelage in Perth an Kinross, Scotland, situatit 8 mi sooth-east o Perth. It haes ane o Scotland's twa survivin Erse-style roond touers (the ither is at Brechin, Angus; baith are in the care o Historic Environment Scotland). The touer stand 74 ft heich, an it is possible tae climb tae the tap, uisin a modren metal spiral staircase (the touer oreeginally haed several firthen floors linkit bi ladders). The touer wis evidently built in twa stages (shawn bi a chynge in the masonry), an probably dates tae the 11t-early 12t centuries.
Aardvark
The aardvark (Orycteropus afer) is a middlin burraein, nocturnal mammal hamelt in Africae. It is the ainly livin species o the order Tubulidentata, awtho ither prehistoric species an genera o Tubulidentata ar kent. Unlike maist ither insectivores, it haes a lang pig-like snoot, that is uised tae sniff oot fuid. It roams ower maist o the soothren twa-thirds o the African continent, joukin areas that ar mainly rocky. A nocturnal feeder, it subsists on eemocks an termites, that it will dig oot o their hills uisin its sharp claws an pouerful legs. It digs tae create burrows tae live in an rear its young. It receives a "least concern" ratin frae the IUCN, awtho its nummers seem tae be fawin.
Aardvarks ar afrotheres, a clade that includes elephants, manatees, an hyraxes as weel.
<!--Aardvarks live for up to 23 years in captivity. Its keen hearing warns it of predators: lions, leopards, cheetahs, African wild dugs, hyenas, and pythons. Some humans also hunt aardvarks for meat. Aardvarks can dig fast or run in zigzag fashion to elude enemies, but if all else fails, they will strike with their claws, tail and shoulders, sometimes flipping onto their backs lying motionless except to lash out with all four feet. They are capable of causing substantial damage to unprotected areas of an attacker. They will also dig to escape as they can, when pressed, dig extremely quickly.
In mythology and popular culture
In African folklore, the aardvark is much admired because of its diligent quest for food and its fearless response to soldier ants. Hausa magicians make a charm from the heart, skin, forehead, and nails of the aardvark, which they then proceed to pound together with the root of a certain tree. Wrapped in a piece of skin and worn on the chest, the charm is said to give the owner the ability to pass through walls or roofs at night. The charm is said to be used by burglars and those seeking to visit young girls without their parents' permission. Also, some tribes, such as the Margbetu, Ayanda, and Logo, will use aardvark teeth to make bracelets, which are regarded as good luck charms. The meat, which has a resemblance to pork, is eaten in certain cultures.
The ancient Egyptian god Set is usually depicted with the head of an unidentified animal, whose similarity to an aardvark has been noted in scholarship.
The titular character of Arthur, an animated television series for children based on a book series and produced by WGBH, shown in more than 180 countries, is an aardvark. In the first book of the series, Arthur's Nose (1976), he has a long, aardvark-like nose, but in later books, his face becomes more rounded.
Otis the Aardvark was a puppet character used on Children's BBC programming.

Aardvark
In mythology and popular culture
An aardvark features as the antagonist in the cartoon The Ant and the Aardvark as well as in the Canadian animated series The Raccoons.
The supersonic fighter-bomber F-111/FB-111 was nicknamed the Aardvark because of its long nose resembling the animal. It also had similarities with its nocturnal missions flown at a very low level employing ordnance that could penetrate deep into the ground. In the US Navy, the squadron VF-114 was nicknamed the Aardvarks, flying F-4s and then F-14s. The squadron mascot was adapted from the animal in the comic strip B.C., which the F-4 was said to resemble.

Tenrec
A tenrec is ony species o mammal within the faimily Tenrecidae. Tenrecs anly bide in Madagascar. <!--Tenrecs are widely diverse; as a result of convergent evolution some resemble hurcheons, screws, opossums, rattons or mice. They occupy aquatic, arboreal, terrestrial and fossorial environments. Some of these species, including the greater hedgehog tenrec, bide in the Madagascar dry deciduous forests. However, the speciation rate in this group has been higher in humid forests.
All tenrecs are believed to descend from a common ancestor that lived 29–37 million years ago after rafting over from Africae. The split from their closest relatives, African otter screws, is estimated to have occurred about 47–53 Ma ago.
Characteristics
Tenrecs ar smaw mammals of variable body form. The smawest species are the size of screws, with a body length of around 4.5 cm (1.8 in), and weighing just 5 g (0.18 oz), while the largest, the common or tailless tenrec, is 25 to 39 cm (9.8 to 15.4 in) in length, and can weigh over 1 kilogram (2.2 lb). Although they may resemble screws, hurcheons, or opposums, they are not closely related to any of these groups, their closest relatives being the otter screws, and after that, other African insectivorous mammals, such as golden moles and elephant screws. The common ancestry of these animals, along with aardvarks, hyraxes, elephants, and sea cows in the group Afrotheria, was not recognized until the late 1990s. Continuing work on the molecular and morphological diversity of afrotherian mammals has provided ever increasing support for their common ancestry.
Unusually among placental mammals, the anus and urogenital tracts of tenrecs share a common opening, or cloaca, a feature more commonly seen in birds, reptiles, and amphibians. They have a low body temperature, sufficiently so that they do not require a scrotum to cool their sperm as do most other mammals.
