Black Sabbath
Black Sabbath are a Inglis rock baund, formit in Birmingham in 1968, bi guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler, sangster Ozzy Osbourne, an drummer Bill Ward. The baund haes syne experienced multiple line-up chynges, wi Tony Iommi the anerly constant presence in the baund throu the years. Oreeginally formit in 1968 as a hivy blues rock baund namit Earth, the baund began incorporatin occult themes wi horror-inspired leerics an tuned-doun guitars. Despite an association wi occult an horror themes, Black Sabbath componit sangs dealin wi social instability, poleetical corruption, the dangers o drog abuis an apocalyptic prophecies o the horrors o war an aw.
Osbourne's hivy drog uise led tae his dismissal frae the baund in 1979. He wis replacit bi umwhile Rainbow vocalist Ronnie James Dio. Efter a few albums wi Dio's vocals an sangwritin collaborations, Black Sabbath endured a revolvin line-up in the 1980s an '90s that included vocalists Ian Gillan, Glenn Hughes, Ray Gillen an Tony Martin, as well as multiple members o Deep Purple an Rainbow. In 1992, Iommi an Butler rejoined Dio an drummer Vinny Appice to record Dehumanizer. The oreeginal line-up reunitit wi Osbourne in 1997 an released a live album Reunion. Black Sabbath's 19t studio album, 13, which featurs aw oreeginal members except Bill Ward, wis released in Juin 2013.

Blanford's tod
Blanford's tod (Vulpes cana) is a smaa tod hamelt in the Middle East an Central Aisie.<!--It is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.
Naming
Blanford's tod is named after the English naturalist William Thomas Blanford, who described it in 1877. The specific name, cana, is Latin for "hoary".
Distribution an habitat
The Blanford's tod has a rather discontinuous range. Initially kent only from southwest Aisie, this species was reported in Israel in 1981 and was later found to be more widespread in the Peninsula o Araibie. Peters and Rödel (1994) reviewed the available distribution records of this species and presented, for the eastern part of the range, what they considered to be definitive records from around the Irainien Plateau in Iran, Turkmenistan and Pakistan, with more doubtful records (usually based on skins collected from fur bazaars or otherwise indirectly) from Afghanistan and Tajikistan (though there is no such record).
There are now confirmed records in the Middle East from Jordan, the Sinai Peninsula (Egip), Oman, Saudi Araibie and the Unitit Arab Emirates. They have long been suspected of occurring in Yemen and have been reported at an altitude of about 1,200 m above sea level in Hawf Forest, Al Mahra Governorate, in the far east of Yemen, near the border with Oman. It seemed possible that they may have lived in western Yemen as weel, where the mountains in southwestern Araibie were contiguous, and the camera trapping record in February 2014 in Wadi Sharis in Hajjah Governorate, NW of Sana'a, now confirms their existence. There is a single record from Egip, west of the Suez Canal, of an animal captured in 1988, originally believed to be a Rüppell's tod. There are no verified documents from Syrie, but they may have existed.
It was reported in the mountains of Ras Al Khaimah and Jebel Hafeet in the UAE an aw, and in Saudi Araibie.
Description
The body is brownish-grey, fading to light yellow on the belly. The winter coat is soft and woolly, with a dense black undercoat and white fur speckles in the dorsal area; together with a somewhat thicker layer of fat, it serves as thermal insulation in cold and dry winter. The summer coat is less thick, the fur is paler, and the white hair is less noticeable. A characteristic mid-dorsal black band extends caudally from the nape of the spine, becoming a mid-dorsal crest along the length of the tail. The tail is the same colour as the body. A black spot is found at the base of the spine. The tip of the tail is normally black, but it is white in some individuals. The dark mid-dorsal line, which is a distinctive characteristic of the Israeli specimens, is less noticeable in Oman specimens, although the black tail markings are similarly developed.
Like ither arid land tods, the Blanford's tod kenspeckle muckle lugs is an adaptation to enhance heat dissipation. However, unlike ither desert tods, it does not have pads covered with hair, and it has cat-like, curved, sharp claws described by some authors as semiretractile.
This tod has an ability to climb rocks and make jumps described as "astonishing", jumping to ledges 3 m (9.8 ft) above them with ease, and as part of their regular movements and climbing vertical, crumbling cliffs by a series of jumps up vertical sections. The tods use their sharp, curved claws and naked footpads for traction on narrow ledges and their long, bushy tails as a counterbalance.
Behaviour an ecology
The Blanford's tod is strictly nocturnal, an activity pattern that is most definitely an anti-predator response to diurnal raptors. There are no significant seasonal or gender variations in the activity patterns, and climate conditions at night in the desert of Israel seemed to have little direct effect on their activity, except under extreme conditions.
Diet
Blanford's tod is omnivorous and primarily insectivorous and frugivorous. In Israel, plant food consists mainly of the fruit of two caperbush species, Capparis cartilaginea and Capparis spinosa; they consume fruits and plant material of date paum, Ochradenus baccatus, Fagonia mollis, and sindry kinds o girse an aw. Blanford’s tod in Pakistan are largely frugivorous, feeding on Roushien olives (Elaeagnus hortensis), melons, and grapes. The Biblical foxes in the vineyard mentioned in the Song of Songs 2:15, described as "little foxes who ruin the vineyards" are most probably the frugivorous Blanford's tods.
Blanford’s tods are almost always solitary foragers, only foraging in pairs on occasion. Unlike ither tods, it seldom caches food.
Reproduction
Blanford's tods are thought to be strictly monogamous. Monogamy may be beneficial in this species as the dispersion of their prey is such that, in order to accommodate additional adults, it would demand a territorial expansion that would bring more costs than benefits. Females are monoestrus and come into heat during January–February. Gestation period is around 50–60 days, and litter size is one to three. The lactation period is 30–45 days. Neonates are born with soft, black fur, with an estimated body mass of 29 g. At the age of two months, the kits start to forage with one of the parents, and at 3 months of age they begin to forage on their own. Juveniles have similar markings as adults, but their fur is darker and more grayish. Sexual maturity is reached at the age of 10–12 months.
Average lifespan of Blandford's tods is 4 to 5 years, and does not exceed 10 years in the wild.
Conservation
While the IUCN has downgraded Blanford's tod to "least concern" as more has been learned about the breadth of its distribution across the Middle East, very little is known about this species and its vulnerabilities to the diseases of domesticated dugs that have so badly affected other canids. Currently, little competition exists with humans for habitat, and the tod is a protected species in Israel and protected from hunting in Oman an Yemen. Some fur hunting occurs in Afghanistan, and occasionally they may take poison intended for hyenas and ither species. -->

Coat o airms o Luxembourg
The coat o airms o Luxembourg haes its oreegins in the Middle Ages, an wis derived frae that o the Duchy o Limburg, in modren day Belgium an the Netherlands. In heraldic leid, these airms are describit as: burely o 10 argent an azure, a lion rampant queue fourché in saltire gules airmed, langued an crouned or.
Versions
Thare are a greater, middle an lesser version o the coat o airms o Luxembourg. The greater Coat o airms haes twa reguardant an crouned lions as supporters, the Dinastic Order an aw surroondit bi hermine mantlin crouned wi a heraldic ryal croun (the croun uised bi the Grand Duke). The middle Coat o airms haes the supporters, the order an the croun. The lesser Coat o airms haes the croun an the escutcheon athoot external ornaments.
Airms o the Monarch
The Grand Duke haes a personal airms:
Quarterly: 1 an 4 Luxembourg, 2 an 3 Nassau (Blazon: Azure billetty Or, a lion or airmed an langued Gules). The lesser variant o the airms o the monarch haesna external ornaments. The middle variant haes the supporters, the order an the croun.
The greater variant haes a dinastic inescutcheon wi the airms o the Hoose o Bourbon-Parma (Blazon: Azure bordure Gules chairged wi aicht escallops Argent, three fleurs-de-lys Or). The supporters are hauldin a lance Or, flyin the Banner o Luxembourg, aw surroondit bi hermine mantlin wi the croun.
The coat o airms o Henry V, Coont o Luxembourg (1216–1281)
Henry V wis the first Coont o Luxembourg tae adopt a primitive form o these airms. His faither, Waleran III, Duke o Limburg, bore the airms, argent a lion rampant queue fourché gules armed, langued an crouned or (white field bearin a reid double tailed lion wi yellae claws, teeth, tongue an croun). Henry V replaced the white field bi a series o white an blue stripes (burely o 10 argent an azure) tae differentiate frae his hauf-brither Henry IV, Duke o Limburg.
It is yet uncertain whaur the oreegins o this burely o 10 argent an azure are. Jean-Claude Loutsch, Luxembourg's maist prominent heraldist, authored the theory that the oreeginal Luxembourg dynasties mey hae born a striped banner (colours unkent). Twa dynasties closely relatit tae the first Hooses o Luxembourg an aa adoptit striped coats o airms durin this period. Baith the Coonts o Loon an Coonts o Grandpré bore the airms burely o 10 or an gules (yellae an reid alternatin stripes). In such a case, the choice o colour o the stripes wad hae been determined tae match the white field an reid lion o Limburg.
The coat o airms o Henry VI, Coont o Luxembourg (1240-1288)
In 1282, efter the daith o Waleran IV, Duke o Limburg, Henry VI, coont o Luxembourg chynged his airms bi doublin the lion's tail an passin it in saltire as a claim on the duchy o Limburg. Efter Henry VI's daith in 1288 at the Battle o Worringen, Henry VII readoptit his grandfaither Henry VII's airms which remained in uise till the extinction o the Hoose o Luxembourg.

Efter the dissolution of the Soviet Union, tensions atween the Moldovan government an the breakaway unrecognized state's authorities in Tiraspol escalatit intae a military conflict that stairtit in Mairch 1992 an wis concludit bi a ceasefire in Julie 1992. As pairt o that agreement, a three-pairty (Roushie, Moldovae, Transnistrie) Joint Control Commission supervises the security arrangements in the demilitarized zone, comprisin 20 localities on baith sides o the river. Although the ceasefire haes held, the territory's poleetical status remains unresolved: commonly considered De jure pairt o Moldovae, Transnistrie is a de facto independent state. It is organized as a presidential republic, wi its awn government, parliament, military, polis, postal seestem, an currency. Its authorities hae adoptit a constitution, banner, naitional anthem, an a coat o airms. Housomeivver, follaein a 2005 agreement atween Moldovae an Ukraine, aw Transnistrian companies seekin tae export guids through the Ukrainian border must be registered wi the Moldovan authorities.

Transnistria is sometimes compared wi ither post-Soviet frozen conflict zones such as Nagorno-Karabakh, Abkhazie, an Sooth Ossetie. The latter twae hae recognised Transnistrie as an independent state an hae established diplomatic relations in return for Transnistrie's recognition o them (see Community for Democracy an Richts o Naitions).

Corsac tod
The corsac tod (Vulpes corsac), kent simply as a corsac an aa, is a middlin tod that bides in steppes, semi-deserts an deserts in Central Aisie, rangin intae Mongolie an northeastren Cheena. <!--Since 2004, it has been classified as least concern by IUCN, but populations fluctuate significantly, and numbers can drop tenfold within a single year. The wird "corsac" is derived from the Roushien name for the animal, "korsák" (корса́к), derived ultimately from Turkic "karsak".
Description
The Corsac tod is a middlin tod, with a head and body length of 45 to 65 cm (18 to 26 in), and a tail 19 to 35 cm (7.5 to 13.8 in) long. Adults weigh from 1.6 to 3.2 kilograms (3.5 to 7.1 lb). It has grey to yellowish fur over much of the body, with paler underparts and pale markings on the mouth, chin, and throat. During the winter, the coat becomes much thicker and silkier in texture, and is straw-grey in colour, with a darker line running down the back.
For a tod, it has smaw teeth and a wide skull. One source claims that this species can climb trees and has been domesticated in the past. It is reported to have keen eyesight and hearing and an acute sense of smell. It has a number of scent glands, some of which produce pungent odors, although not as extreme as those found in some ither tods. The glands are found in the anal region, above the base of the tail, and on the paws and cheeks.
Corsac tods are reported to bark during hunting or when threatening rivals, and to use higher pitch yelps or chirps as alarm calls or social greetings.
Distribution an habitat
Corsac tods bide in the steppes and semidesert of central and northeast Aisie. They are found outthrou Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan, and through all except the northernmost regions o Mongolie. In the south, their range extends into the more northern parts of Iran, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Afghanistan, an Cheena, and they can be found in neighbouring regions o Roushie an aw.
Three subspecies are currently recognised:
These tods bide in open grassy steppes and semideserts, and jouk dense vegetation and mountainous regions. True deserts with drifting sands are avoided as weel, as are snowfields more than about 15 cm (6 in) deep. Corsac tods generally stay far away from human disturbances.
Ecology and behaviour
As an adaption to the arid climate in which they live, corsac tods can forego food and water for extended periods of time. The corsac tods is an opportunistic forager and hunter. Its diet varies throughout its range, but consists foremost of small and middlin vertebrates, insects and small rodents, sic as voles, gerbils, jerboas, hamsters, and ground squirrels. It feeds opportunistically on larger prey including maukins and pikas an aw. It scavenges for carrion and human refuse as well. Although predominantly carnivorous, it occasionally eats fruit and other vegetation, especially during winter when availability of animal prey is low. Natural predators of the corsac tod include gray wolf, Eurasian eagle-owl, eagles, and buzzards.
The Corsac tod is a nocturnal and nomadic hunter of the steppes. It does not have a defended territory, and unlike some tods, sometimes forms packs. Diurnal activity is more common at times when kits need to be fed and when food is scarce, as during the winter. Because it cannot hunt in deep snow, it either shelters in dens during harsh weather, or, in the northern parts of its range, it migrates up to 600 km (370 mi) south in the winter. It has been reported to follow herds of local antelope, relying on them to compress the snow as they pass. It dig its own dens, which are generally shallow, but takes over the burrows of other animals, such as marmots, ground squirrels, or brocks as weel. Dens may have several entrances, but are usually less than 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) deep. The burrow is shared between the social packs, with several dens and connecting holes, which resemble "corsac cities". They are excellent climbers, but are rather slow runners and could be caught easily by a dug. While they are reported to be nocturnal in the wild, in captivity they are very active during the day.
Reproduction
Typically, two to six young are born after a gestation period of 52 to 60 days, although cases of ten kits being born in a single litter have been reported. Newborn kits weigh around 60 g (2.1 oz), and have fluffy, light brown fur that turns yellowish as they age. They are born blind, and open their eyes at around two weeks of age; they begin to eat meat at four weeks, and emerge from the den shortly after. Corsac tods reach sexual maturity within 9 to 10 months and reproduce in the second year of life. They live up to 9 years in the wild.
Threats
The major threat posed to the corsac tod is poaching, as it is a valuable fur-bearing species and has been harvested by humans since the Bronze Age for subsistence and commercial purposes. It is a slow runner and therefore easily caught by hunters; the population has been reduced in areas where it has been heavily hunted for its fur. Traditionally, the corsac tod is often hunted with trained domestic dugs, saker falcons, and gowden eagles, as well as caught with traps set at burrow entrances, leghold traps, and firearms. In the late 19th century, up to 10,000 tods were killed annually for pelt trade. The general population remains healthy, however, as the corsac tod has proven to be able to withstand great hunting pressures, and their habitats remain intact due to the low human population density in its range.
Other threats include overgrazing by livestock and landscape development; the decline of marmots may impact the species in some areas an aw, as it often uses marmot burrows as daytime resting locations. The other main threat is natural disasters, which can cause the numbers of tods to drop 90% in some areas,[citation needed] but the population often recovers quickly. As of 2014, the corsac tod is listed as least concern in the IUCN Red List. -->

Tawse
The tawse (kent as the Lochgelly tawse an aw, efter the Scots toun in whilk maist were craftit) wis an implement uised for corporal punishment. It wis maistlins uist in Scots schuils til the 1980s, whan it wis bannit acause o a judgment bi the European Court o Human Richt. The tawse wis o a strip o lether, wi yin end split intae several tails. The thickness o the lether an tails differed.
Mony Scots saddlers made tawses fur local schuilmasters (dominies). The official name tawse wis barelins uist bi either dominies or pupils, wha cawed it the schuil strap or the belt.
Etymology - belike fae an auld French measure, the toise, at a speel whan the Scots leid borraed mony French wurds.
Schuils
Scots public (state) schuils uised the tawse tae malagarouse pupils, baith lads an lasses, on their luif (paum o the outstretched haun). Pupils were forordinar instructed tae haud oot yin haun, palm uppermaist, supported by the ither haun below, whilk made it pernicketie tae shift the haun awa an ensured that the full force o ilk an every hit wis tane by the haun bein strapped. The punishment wis forordinar inflicted bi the dominie fernent the entire class tae act as a deterrent tae ithers; whiles by a designated teacher, sic as the deputy heidmaister, tae wham the pupil wis sent.
Pupils were aften tawsed on their buttocks; Scots Office owersears in the 1960s noted wi concern that lads in the approved schuils woud bytimes defecate while waitin to be hit bi the 'licht' tawse. This wis wielded in primary as weel as secondary schools fur baith trivial an serious raisons, an lassies git belted as weel as lads (nearly 6 in 10 lasses wur strapped in school ).
In 1954, the tawse was banned bi the Dunbartonshire Eddication Committee; this muiv wis opponed bi mony at the time, an wis reversed yin month later. In 1982 twa Scots maws gaed tae the European Court o Human Richt, wha passed a judgement whilk said parents haed the richt tae refuise ony form o corporal punishment tae a bairn. This judgement led indirect tae the uise o the tawse (and aw ither forms o corporal punishment) bein banned bi law in UK state schools. The legislation cam intae force in 1987, bit maist Scots local eddication authorities awready abolished it bi the earlie 1980s.
John J. Dick Leather Goods wis a manufacturer in Lochgelly estimated tae hae craftit anent 70% o tawses whan thay wur uised in schuil. Original tawses sold fur aroond £6 in 1982; bit twenty years later, some collectors wur paying hundred o poonds fur these nou-seendle items.
Judicial
The tawse wis wuised by judges fur judicial corporal punishment in Scotland an aw, as an alternative tae the mair usual birch. Courts coud sentence bairns ower 14 (bit unner 16) tae up til 36 strokes wi an extra-heavy tawse fur ony offence. This wis administered tae the offender's bare buttocks. Judicial corporal punishment wis abolished in the UK in 1948.

Chimalma
Chimalma is a goddess in Aztec meethologie, the mither o Quetzalcoatl. Her name means "shield-haund."
Accordin tae the Manuscript of 1558, section 7, the begettin o Quetzalcoatl happened in this wey: "An then when Mixcoatl went tae... Huitznahuac, the wumman Chimalman came oot tae confront him... She stuid nakit, athoot skirt or shift." While she stuid thus, Mixcoatl shot an arrae "atween her legs" -- on twa separate occasions. "An when this haed occurred, he teuk the wumman o Huitznauac, the ane who is Chimalman, an lay wi her an so she became pregnant."
Accordin tae the Codex Chimalpopoca, referrin tae Quetzalcoatl, "...an his mither they say was Chimalman. An frae wha they say aboot him, Quetzalcoatl wis placit in her belly when she swallaeed a piece o jade."
It is doutful, amaist certain, that the abuin descriptions are incorrect. The Feathered Serpent, regardless o the name uised bi the cultur designatin or invokin this spirit, wi names such as Quetzalcoatl, Kukulkan, an Q'uq'umatz, amangst ithers, wis an aspect o the Absolute Bein, which the Mayans cried Hunab Ku. Hunab Ku coud no be representit bi a figur or image directly, an as the Absolute Bein it wis totally inconceivable that a human coud designate a "mither o Quetzalcoatl".
Wha oral tradition does hauld regardin Chimalman is that she wis a spirit which accompaniet the Azteca frae the hameland o Aztlán. Huitzilopochtli an Quetzalcoatl wur spiritual entities adoptit frae the Toltec legacy whan the Azteca livit amangst the Chichimeca.
