Cape tod
Distribution and habitat
The Cape tod is the only species in the genus Vulpes that exists in Africa south of the equator. It primarily occupies arid and semi-arid areas, but in sections, such as the fynbos biome of the western Cape Province of South Africa, the species reaches areas of higher rainfall and denser vegetation. In the central and western regions of southern Africa, the species is widespread, reaching around 15 ° N in south-western Angola. It is widespread in Zimbabwe, Botswana, and South Africa, occurring in most parts of the Western and Northern Cape provinces, the Eastern Cape (excluding the southeastern side), the Free State, western and northwestern KwaZulu-Natal and the North-West province. It occurs in Lesotho, a high mountainous region as weel.

Cape tod
Behaviour
The Cape tod is nocturnal and most active just before dawn or after dusk; it can be spotted during the early mornings and early evenings. During the day, it typically shelters in burrows underground, holes, hollows, or dense thickets. It is an active digger that will excavate its own burrow, although it generally modifies an abandoned burrow of another species, such as the springhare, to its specific requirements.

A long-range vocalization of yelps or yapping barks has been described, but Cape tods apparently do not howl. When in an aggressive mood, the Cape tod is known to growl and spit at its attacker. They may use other forms of communication, such as facial expressions and tail posturing; to show its excitement, the tod lifts its tail, the height of the tail often indicating the measure of excitement.

Cape tod
Diet
While Cape tods have been reported to kill livestock, the predation level is unknown. Domestic sheep may comprise as much as 16.6% volume of its stomach content, but it appears to prey only on very young lambs (less than 3 months old), otherwise they can only consume it as carrion. They are known to cache food in holes.
Prince Andrew, Duke o York
In Juin 2020 it becam kent that Andrew is a person of interest in a criminal investigation in the Unitit States, an that the U.S. haed filed a mutual legal assistance request tae British authorities in order tae question Andrew.

Cape tod
Parasites and predators
It usually carries Echinococcus granulosus as an endoparasite and may be parasitised by fleas.
Conservation
Habitat loss doesn't appear to be a major factor influencing the conservation status of the Cape tod; in some regions, changing agricultural practices have resulted in range extensions for this species. As these tods are presumed to prey on livestock, in particular lambs, they are commonly target by farmers. They are targeted by various control methods, such as leg-hold traps and the illegal but widespread use of agricultural poisons on commercial farms. These control measures do not seem to have had a major impact on populations of the Cape tods, even though they have resulted in declines in some areas. They often succumb to diseases such as rabies and canine distemper an aw, and mony Cape tods are killed on the road by vehicles. Many are hunted and persecuted as vermin. About 2,500 individuals are killed yearly; which is approximately 16% of the population. Nonetheless, populations of the Cape tod are currently stable across their entire geographic range thus it is not listed in the IUCN Red List.

Kit tod
The kit tod (Vulpes macrotis) is a tod species hamelt in arid an semi-arid regions o North Americae. Its range is primarily in the Soothwastren Unitit States an northren an central Mexico. <!--Some mammalogists consider the kit tod an the swift tod (V. velox) tae be the same species, but molecular systematics imply that the twa species are distinct. The kit tod is the smawest o the three species of Vulpes that ar hamelt in North Americae an is amangst the smawest o the vulpines warlwide. It haes been cried ae North American coonterpairt tae the Fennec tod acause o its muckle lugs.
Appearance
The kit tod is ane o the smawest canids hamelt in North Americae. It has muckle lugs, atween 71 an 95 mm (2.8 and 3.7 in), that help the tod gie aff heat an gie it guid hearing (akin tae the lugs o the fennec tod). This species shaws little sexual dimorphism, wi the male bein a bittock mair muckle nor the female. The average species wecht is atween 1.6 and 2.7 kg (3.5 and 6.0 lb). The body lenth is 455 til 535 mm (17.9 to 21.1 in), wi ae lang tail (aboot 40% o tot lenth), eikin anither 260–323 mm (10.2–12.7 in).
The colour an textur o the fur vary geographically. In general, the dorsal color is grizzled or yellowish-gray. The grizzled appearance is the result of guard hairs that are typically black-tipped or with two black bands separated by a white band. The guard hairs are less than 50 mm long, and particularly prominent in the middle of the back. The soles of the legs are protected by stiff tufts of hair, a trait that improves traction on loose sandy surfaces as well as protection against extreme temperatures; muzzles and vibrisae are generally black to brown. The tail is bushy and gray, with a black tip, and the caudal gland has a pronounced black spot. Unlike the gray fox, it has no stripe along the length of its tail. Its color ranges from yellow to gray, and the back is usually darker than the majority of its coat; its belly and inner ears are usually lighter. It has distinct dark patches around the nose. The lugs are tan or gray on the back, turning to buff or orange at the base. The shoulders, the lower sides, the flanks, and the strip about 25 mm wide across the chest range in color from buffy to orange.
Diet
Kit foxes are opportunistic omnivores and scavengers, possibly regulated by prey abundance, but primarily carnivorous. In the Californian deserts, its primary prey is Merriam's kangaroo rat (Dipodomys merriami). Other common prey species include lagomorphs, rodents and insects. Kit foxes consume birds, reptiles, carrion, fish, and rarely, plant material, sic as tomatoes, saguaro cactus fruits an other fruits as weel. Different kit fox families can occupy the same hunting grounds, but do not generally go hunting at the same time. Kit foxes are known to cache food and eat human food an aw. Black-tailed jackrabbits represent the upper size limit of prey.-->
Pakistan–Turkey relations
Pakistan haes an embassy in Ankara, a Consulate-General in Istanbul an an honorary consulate in Izmir whereas, Turkey haes an embassy in Islamabad, a Consulate-General in Karachi an honorar consulates in Lahore, Peshawar, Sialkot an Faisalabad. As o 2016, in a joint communique, Pakistan an Turkey plan tae strengthen their close ties intae a "strategic pairtner".
Relations date back generations afore the establishment o the twa states, mair precisely during the Turkis War o Unthrildom when the Muslims o the northwastren British Raj sent financial aid tae the declinin Ottoman Empire, which wis follaed bi the formation o the Turkis Republic an the Independence of Pakistan. As a result, Pakistan an Pakistanis hae enjoyed a positive perception in Turkey an amangst Turks for mony decades. Pakistan an Turkey enjoy close cultural, historical an militar relations which are nou expanding intae deepening economic relations as baith kintras seek tae develop thair economies. Turkey supports Pakistan's position o holding a plebiscite under the UN tae decide if Kashmir wants tae jyne Pakistan, a poseetion which Turkish Preses Erdogan reaffirmed in a jynt address tae the Pakistani parliament an which wis attendit bi Pakistan's militar heich command. Turkey supports Pakistan's membership o the Nuclear Suppliers Group. Talat Masood said that Turkey an Pakistan enjoy close relations during baith democratic an militar regimes, reflecting the depth o the relations atween the twa naitions.

Syrie
Sirie, offeecially the Sirie Arab Republic الجمهورية العربية السورية‎, is a kintra in Wastren Asie, borderin Lebanon an the Mediterranean Sea tae the wast, Turkey tae the north, Iraq tae the east, Jordan tae the sooth, an Israel tae the soothwast.
Admeenistrative diveesions
Sirie is dividit intae fowerteen govrenorates, or muhafazat (singular: muhafazah). The govrenorates are dividit intae a total o saxty destricts, or manatiq (sing. mintaqah), which are further dividit intae sub-destricts, or nawahi (sing. nahiya).
A govrenor, whose appointment is proposed bi the meenister o the interior, approved bi the cabinet, an annoonced bi executive decree, heids each govrenorate. The govrenor is assistit bi an electit provincial cooncil.
The caipital Damascus is the seicont lairgest ceety in Sirie, an the metropolitan aurie is a govrenorate on its awn. Aleppo (population 1,671,673) in northren Sirie, the lairgest ceety, is an' a' a major industrial, urban an cultural center. Aleppo's auld toun haes been designatit bi the UNESCO as a Warld Heritage Steid. Latakia (population 554,000) alang wi Tartus are Sirie's main ports on the Mediterranean sea. Ither major ceeties include Hama (population 696,863) in central o Sirie, Homs (population 1,033,000) in the sooth o Hama an Deir ez-Zor (population 230,000) on the Euphrates river in eastren Sirie.
Cairo
Cairo (القاهرة al-Qāhira, literally "The Vanquisher" or "The Conqueror") is the caipital o Egyp, the lairgest ceety in Africae an the Arab Warld, an ane o the maist densely populatit ceeties in the warld.
Nicknamed "The Ceety o a Thoosan Minarets" for its preponderance o Islamic airchitectur, Cairo haes lang been a centre o the region's poleetical an cultural life. Even afore Cairo wis established in the 10t century, the land composin the present-day ceety wis the site o naitional caipitals whose remnants remain visible in pairts o Auld Cairo. Cairo is an aa associatit wi Auncient Egyp due tae its proximity tae the Great Sphinx an the pyramids in adjacent Giza.
Egyptians the day aften refer tae Cairo as Maṣr (Arabic:مصر), the Arabic pronunciation o the name for Egyp itsel, emphasizin the ceety's continued role in Egyptian influence. Cairo haes the auldest an lairgest film an muisic industries in the Arab Warld, as well as the warld's seicont-auldest institution o hichter learnin, al-Azhar University. Mony internaitional media, businesses, an organisations hae regional heidquarters in the ceety, an the Arab League haes haed its heidquarters in Cairo for maist o its existence.
Geography
Cairo is locatit in northren Egyp, kent as Lawer Egyp, 165 kilometers (100 mi) sooth o the Mediterranean Sea an 120 kilometers (75 mi) wast o the Gulf o Suez an Suez Canal. The ceety is alang the Nile River, immediately sooth o the pynt whaur the river leaves its desert-bund valley an branches intae the law-lyin Nile Delta region. Awtho the Cairo metropolis extends away frae the Nile in aw directions, the ceety o Cairo resides anerlie on the east bank o the river an twa islands athin it on a tot aurie o 453 square kilometers (175 sq mi).
Till the mid-19t century, when the river wis tamed bi dams, levees, an ither controls, the Nile in the vicinity o Cairo wis heichlie susceptible tae chynges in course an surface level. Ower the years, the Nile gradually shiftit wastward, providin the site atween the eastren edge o the river an the Mokattam hielands on which the ceety nou staunds. The land on which Cairo wis established in 969 (present-day Islamic Cairo) wis locatit unnerwater juist ower three hunder years earlier, when Fustat wis first biggit.
Law periods o the Nile durin the 11t century continued tae add tae the landscape o Cairo; a new island, kent as Geziret al-Fil, first appeared in 1174, but eventually became connectit tae the mainland. The day, the site o Geziret al-Fil is occupied bi the Shubra destrict. The law periods creatit anither island at the turn o the 14t century that nou composes Zamalek an Gezira. Land reclamation efforts bi the Mamluks an Ottomans faur contributit tae expansion on the east bank o the river.
Acause o the Nile's movement, the newer pairts o the ceety – Garden Ceety, Cairo Ceety Centre, an Zamalek – are locatit closest tae the riverbank. The auries, which are hame tae maist o Cairo's embassies, are surroondit on the north, east, an sooth bi the aulder pairts o the ceety. Auld Cairo, locatit sooth o the centre, haulds the remnants o Fustat an the hert o Egyp's Coptic Christian community, Coptic Cairo. The Boulaq destrict, which lies in the northren pairt o the ceety, wis born oot o a major 16t-century port an is nou a major industrial centrer. The Citadel is locatit east o the ceety centre aroond Islamic Cairo, which dates back tae the Fatimid era an the foondation o Cairo. While wastren Cairo is dominatit bi wide boulevards, open spaces, an modren architecture o European influence, the eastren hauf, haein grown haphazardly ower the centuries, is dominatit bi sma lanes, croudit tenements, an Islamic architecture.
Northren an extreme eastren pairts o Cairo, which include satellite touns, are amang the maist recent additions tae the ceety, as thay developit in the late-20t an early-21st centuries tae accommodate the ceety's rapid growthe. The wastren bank o the Nile is commonly includit athin the urban aurie o Cairo, but it composes the ceety o Giza an the Giza Govrenorate. Giza haes an aa unnergane significant expansion ower recent years, an the day the ceety, awtho still a suburb o Cairo, haes a population o 2.7 million. The Cairo Govrenorate is juist north o the Helwan Govrenorate, which wis creatit in 2008 when some o Cairo's soothren destricts, includin Maadi an New Cairo, wur split aff an annexed intae the new govrenorate.
Economy
Cairo is an aa in ivery respect the centre o Egyp, as it haes been amaist syne its foondin in 969 AD. The majority o the naition's commerce is generatit thare, or passes throu the ceety. The great majority o publishin hooses an media ootlets an nearly aw film studios are thare, as are hauf o the naition's hospital beds an varsities. This haes fueled rapid construction in the ceety—ane biggin in five is less nor 15 year auld.
This astonishin growthe til recently surged well aheid o ceety services. Hames, roads, electricity, telephone an sewer services wur aw suddent in short supply. Analysts tryin tae grasp the magnitude o the chynge coined terms lik "hyper-urbanization".
Tahrir Square
Tahrir Square wis foondit durin the mid 19t century wi the establishment o modren doun-toun Cairo. It wis first named Ismailia Square, efter the 19t-century ruler Isma'il Pasha, who commissioned the new dountoun destrict's 'Paris on the Nile' design. Efter the Egyptian Revolution o 1919 the square became widely kent as Tahrir (Liberation) Square. Several notable biggins surroond the square includin, The American University in Cairo's dountoun campus, the Mogamma govrenmental admeenistrative biggin, the heidquarters o the Arab League, the Nile Ritz Carlton Hotel, the heidquarters o the Naitional Democratic Pairty, an the Egyptian Museum. Bein at the hert o Cairo, the square witnessed several major protests ower the years. Housomeivver, the maist notable event in the square wis bein the focal pynt o the Egyptian Revolution o 2011 against umwhile preses Hosni Mubarak.
The Egyptian Museum
The Museum o Egyptian Antiquities, kent commonly as the Egyptian Museum, is hame tae the maist extensive collection o auncient Egyptian antiquities in the warld. It haes 136,000 items on display, wi mony mair hunders o thoosans in its basement storerooms.
Khan El-Khalili
Khan el-Khalili is an auncient bazaar, or mercatplace. It dates back tae 1382, when Emir Djaharks el-Khalili biggit a lairge caravanserai, or khan. A caravanserai is a hotel for traders, an uisually the focal pynt for ony surroondin aurie. The caravanserai remains the day.
Auld Cairo
The pairt o Cairo that contains Coptic Cairo an Fostat, which contains the Coptic Museum, Babylon Fortress, Hangin Kirk, the Greek Kirk o St. George, mony ither Coptic kirks, the Ben Ezra Synagogue an Amr ibn al-'As Mosque.
Cairo Touer
The Cairo Touer is a free-staundin concrete TV touer in Cairo. It staunds in the Zamalek destrict on Gezira Island in the Nile River, in the ceety centre. At 187 meters, it is 43 metres heicher than the Great Pyramid o Giza, which staunds some 15 km tae the soothwast.
Qahira Fatimid Mosque
Established in 972, Al-Azhar mosque wis historically the site o the renouned Al-Azhar University, till the varsity's muive in the late 20t century tae a new campus in Nasr Ceety.

Haifa ; is the lairgest ceety in northren Israel, an the third-lairgest ceety in the kintra (after Jerusalem an Tel Aviv), wi a population o in. Anither 300,000 fowk bide in touns directly adjacent tae the ceety includin the ceeties o the Krayot, as weel as, Tirat Carmel, Daliyat al-Karmel an Nesher. Thegither thir auries form a contiguous urban aurie hame tae near 600,000 residents that maks up the inner core o the Haifa metropolitan aurie. Haifa haes a mixed population o Jews an Arabs, awtho Jews mak up tae 90% majority. The Arab population is predominantly Christian, whauras 28% o the Jewish population (correct for 2009) is made o immigrants frae the umwhile Soviet Union.

It haes several heh-tech pairks, amang them the auldest an lairgest in the kintra, an industrial port, an a petroleum refinery. Haifa wis umwhile the wastren terminus o an ile pipeline frae Iraq via Jordan.
Etymology
The oreegin o the name "Haifa" is unclear. Accordin tae historian Alex Carmel, it mey come frae the Ebreu verb ruit חפה (hafa), meanin tae kiver or shield, i.e. Munt Carmel covers Haifa. Anither possible oreegin is the Ebreu wird חוֹף (hof), an aa meanin beach, or חוֹף יָפֶה (hof yafe), meanin bonnie beach. Some Christians believe that the toun wis named efter the heich priest Caiaphas, or Saunt Peter (Keiphah in Aramaic).

At the age o fifteen, bassist Jon Miller haed formit a baund wi drummer John Boecklin an guitarist Jeff Kendrick in heich schuil. The baund wis cried Area-51 an played cover versions o Metallica, Slayer, an Pantera.

The three wur playin in a local baund an talkit tae Fafara who said he wis thinkin aboot leavin Coal Chamber. Fafara said "Hey you guys write some heavy shit, and I want to get out of Coal Chamber". Fafara hostit several barbecues efter muivin frae Orange Coonty tae Santa Barbara an wad jam wi muisickers he met, which led tae the formation o the baund. Guitarist Evan Pitts met Fafara in a restaurant an gae him his phone nummer for a jam session, while John Boecklin who oreeginally played guitar then played drums, met Fafara at a bar.

Rüppell's tod
The Rüppell's tod (Vulpes rueppellii), spelled Rueppell's tod an aw, is a species o tod that bides in North Africae, the Middle East, an soothwastren Aisie. It is named efter the German naituralist Eduard Rüppell.<!--It has been listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List since 2008.
Description
The Rüppell's tod is a smaw tod, measuring 66 to 74 cm (26 to 29 in) in total length, including a tail measuring 27–30 cm (11–12 in) long. There is no pronounced sexual dimorphism, but males appear slightly mair muckle nor females. Both sexes are reported to have an average weight of 1.7 kg (3.7 lb). The coat is sandy in color, ticked with numerous white hairs, and fading from reddish along the middle of the back to pure white on the animal's underparts and on the tip of its tail. The flanks are also paler. The head has a more rusty tone on the muzzle and forehead, with dark brown patches on the sides of the muzzle, stretching up towards the een. The chin and the sides of the face are white. The whiskers are long, reaching 7 cm (2.8 in).
Its relatively small legs are beige to fawn in color, with individual black hairs that turn lighter to white towards the legs. The soles are heavily coated with fur that fully covers the pads, an adaptation to extremes of temperature in the desert, that probably helps to distribute its weight and move easily on sand. The back has a black speckling, resulting in a thick black patch at the base of the tail, which is bushy with a white tip. The fur is very soft and fluffy in two coats, a heavier denser winter coat and a thinner summer coat. The females have three pairs of mammae.
Sib tae ither tods that bide in deserts, Rüppell's tod has muckle lugs to cool it off. Although adults are too muckle to confuse with fennec tods, which bide in the same area, young Rüppell's tods can be confused with adults of that species. The mair muckle lugs, however, make them easy to distinguish from reid and pale tods, which also bide in some the same areas. In addition, the coat of a Rüppell's tod is much paler than that of a reid tod, while pale tods lack the white tips on their tails.
