Neptune
Neptune is the aicht an farthest planet frae the Sun in the Solar Seestem. It is the fowert-lairgest planet bi diameter an the third-lairgest bi mass. Amang the gaseous planets in the solar seestem, Neptune is the maist dense. Neptune is 17 times the mass o Yird an is slichtly mair massive than its near-twin Uranus, which is 15 times the mass o Yird but nae as dense. On average, Neptune orbits the Sun at a distance o 30.1 AU, approximately 30 times the Yird–Sun distance. Named for the Roman god o the sea, its astronomical seembol is, a stylised version o the god Neptune's trident.
Neptune is seemilar in composeetion tae Uranus, an baith hae composeetions which differ frae those o the lairger gas giants, Jupiter, an Saturn. Neptune's atmosphere, while seemilar tae Jupiter's an Saturn's in that it is componed primarily o hydrogen an helium, alang wi traces o hydrocarbons an possibly nitrogen, contains a heicher proportion o "ices" sic as watter, ammonia, an methane. Astronomers whiles categorise Uranus an Neptune as "ice giants" in order tae emphasise thir distinctions. The interior o Neptune, lik that o Uranus, is primarily componed o ices an rock. It is possible that the cor haes a solit surface, but the temperatur wad be thoosands o degrees an the atmospheric pressur crushin. Traces o methane in the ootermaist regions in pairt accoont for the planet's blue appearance.
In contrast tae the hazy, relatively featureless atmosphere o Uranus, Neptune's atmosphere is notable for its active an veesible wather patterns. For example, at the time o the 1989 Voyager 2 flyby, the planet's soothren hemisphere possessed a Great Dark Spot comparable tae the Great Red Spot on Jupiter. Thir wather patterns are driven bi the strangest sustained winds o ony planet in the Solar Seestem, wi recordit wind speeds as heich as 2100 kph. Acause o its great distance frae the Sun, Neptune's ooter atmosphere is ane o the cauldest places in the Solar Seestem, wi temperaturs at its clood taps approachin 55 K. Temperaturs at the planet's centre are approximately 5400 K. Neptune haes a faunt an fragmented ring seestem (labeled 'arcs'), which mey hae been detectit durin the 1960s but wis anly indisputably confirmed in 1989 bi Voyager 2.

Modren regions o Greece
The current offeecial regional admeenistrative diveesions o Greece (περιφέρειες) wis institute in 1987. Awtho best pit ower intae Inglis an Scots as "regions", the transcription peripheries is sometimes uised, mibbe tae distinguish them frae the tradeetional regions whilk they replacit. The Inglis wird 'periphery' is derivit frae the περιφέρεια, whilk in Greek (but no in Inglis) means 'region' an aw. There are 13 regions (nine on the mainland an fower island groups), which (till 2010) wur further subdividit intae the nou abolished 54 prefecturs.

For insaumple, the new region o the Peloponnese disna include aw o the landmass tradeetionally kent as the Peloponnese; the excludit pairt nou fins itsel in the region o Wastren Greece.
The first seiven regions wis established bi the then-rulin militar regime in 1971, but they wur abolished efter the faw o Georgios Papadopoulos in November 1973.

Olivos, Buenos Aires
History
A welcome stop along the Buenos Aires-Córdoba trade route for travellers in the 18th century, one of the area's first landowners, Domingo de Acassuso, began cultivating olive trees around 1720 and the spot was officially named Olivos on 19 Februar 1770. Hintle o the aurie wis later purchased bi Viceroy Antonio de Olaguer y Feliú an bi a German immigrant, Hernán Wineberg, who sauld a lairge tract in 1860 for the construction o the Ferrocarril Central Argentino throu the aurie. The 1863 inaugural o the local railwey station, ane o Argentinae's first, began attractin hameawners drawn bi the aurie's tranquility an convenient access tae the rapidly-growin caipital an, in 1897, the Kirk o Jesus o the Olive Trees wis consecratit. A 1905 edict subdividit San Isidro Partido in twa, creatin the modren Partido de Vicente López an designatin Olivos as the seat.
Hame tae a growin upscale commonty bi 1917, local businessman Rodolfo Negrete foondit the ceety's first clinic an marina an, durin the 1920s, the smaw marina wis modrenisit an the ceety's streets pavit. The openin o Naitional Route 9 in the mid-1930s, wast o the ceety, further accentuatit the aurie's draw as a convenient suburb for Buenos Aires commuters. The ceety became the focus o naitional attention in 1941 when, upon the passin o Carlos Villate Olaguer (a great-great-grandson o Viceroy Olaguer y Feliú's), a 35 ha section o the faimily's local laund wis deedit tae the naitional govrenment for uise as the preses' offeecial residence. Gracit bi a mansion o an eclectic, Neogothic-inspired style, the main hoose wis commissioned by Miguel José de Azcuénaga in 1851 an designed bi renouned local airtist an airchitect Prilidiano Pueyrredón. The complementin structurs for the compoond wur built in variations on Baroque airchitectur.
The residence hostit the Olivos Pact, a poleetical greement signed on 14 November 1993 atween then-Preses Carlos Menem an umwhile Preses Raúl Alfonsín (heid o the main opposition pairty, the centrist Radical Ceevic Union). The pact secured support for constitutional reforms allouin for the re-election o the Preses well as for the popular election o the Mayor o Buenos Aires, hitherto a appointit post. The ceety wis witness tae the Kheyvis nichtclub fire (20 Dizember 1993) an aw, the deidliest such tragedy in Argentinae up tae that point. Olivos wis selectit as a stop alang the Tren de la Costa tourist railwey upon the line's openin in 1994.
Uranus
Uranus (seembol: ) is the seivent planet frae the Sun. It haes the third-lairgest planetary radius an fowerth-lairgest planetary mass in the Solar Seestem. Uranus is seemilar in composeetion tae Neptune, an baith are o different chemical composeetion than the lairger gas giants Jupiter an Saturn. For this reason, astronomers whiles place them in a separate category cried "ice giants". Uranus's atmosphere, altho seemilar tae Jupiter's an Saturn's in its primary composeetion o hydrogen an helium, contains mair "ices" sic as watter, ammonie, an methane, alang wi traces o hydrocarbons. It is the cauldest planetary atmosphere in the Solar Seestem, wi a minimum temperatur o 49 K, an haes a complex, layered clood structur, wi watter thoucht tae mak up the lawest cloods, an methane the uppermost layer o cloods. In contrast, the interior o Uranus is mainly componed o ices an rock.
It is the anly planet whose name is derived frae a figure frae Greek mythology rather than Roman meethology lik the ither planets, frae the Latinized version o the Greek god o the sky, Ouranos. Lik the ither gas giants, Uranus haes a ring seestem, a magnetosphere, an numerous muins. The Uranian seestem heas a unique configuration amang the planets acause its axis o rotation is tiltit sideways, nearly intae the plane o its revolution aboot the Sun. Its north an sooth poles tharefore lie whaur maist ither planets hae thair equators. In 1986, images frae Voyager 2 shawed Uranus as a virtually featurless planet in veesible licht wioot the clood bands or storms associated wi the ither giants. Terrestrial observers hae seen signs o saisonal chynge an increased wather activity in recent years as Uranus approached its equinox. The wind speeds on Uranus can reach 250 meters per seicont (900 km/h, 560 mph).
