Azur Draigon
The Azur Draigon is ane o the Fower Seembols o the Cheenese constellations. It represents the east an the ware saison. It shoud no be ramfeeselt wi the meethological yellae draigon that is associatit wi the Emperor o Cheenae. It is referred tae in media, feng shui, ither culturs, an in various venues as the Green Dragon an the Avalon Dragon an aw.
It is kent as Qinglong in Cheenese, Seiryū in Japanese, Cheongnyong in Korean, an Thanh Long in Vietnamese. It is whiles cried the Azur Draigon o the East (, or whiles ).
The Seiven Mansions o the Azur Draigon
As the ither three Seembols, thare are seiven "mansions", or poseetions, o the muin athin Azur Dragon. The names an determinative starns are:
Oreegin
In the novel Shuo Tang Yanyi (Tales o Tang Dynasty), the White Teeger's starn is reincarnatit as General Luo Cheng (羅成 / 罗成), who servit Li Shimin. The Azur Draigon's Starn is reincarnatit as General Shan Xiongxin (單雄信 / 单雄信), who served Wang Shichong. The twa generals are sworn brithers o Qin Shubao (秦叔寶 / 秦叔宝), Cheng Zhijie (程知節 / 程知节) & Yuchi Jingde (尉遲敬德 / 尉迟敬德). Efter daith, thair souls are said tae possess heroes o the Tang & Liao dynasties, sic as Xue Rengui (薛仁貴 / 薛仁贵) & He Suwen (郃苏文).
As an ensaumple, the Azur Draigon is representit on the tomb o Wang Hui (stane coffin, east side), Hsi-k'ang (extension o Szechwan during Han), Lu-shan. A Cheenese rubbin o this wis collectit bi David Crockett Graham an is in the Field Museum of Natural History.
Influence
In Japan, the Azur Draigon is ane o the fower guardian spirits o ceeties an is said tae pertect the ceety o Kyoto on the east. The wast is protectit bi the White Tiger, the north is protectit bi the Black Tortoise, the sooth is protectit bi the Vermilion Bird, an the centre is protectit bi the Yellae Dragon. In Kyoto thare are temples dedicatit tae each o thir guardian spirits. The Azur Draigon is representit in the Kiyomizu Temple in eastren Kyoto. Afore the entrance o the temple thare is a statue o the draigon which is said tae drink frae the watterfaw athin the temple complex at nichttime. Tharefore each year a ceremony is held tae worship the draigon o the east. In 1983, the Kitora Tomb wis foond in the veelage o Asuka. Aw fower guardians wur paintit on the waws (in the correspondin directions) an a seestem o the constellations wis paintit on the ceilin. This is ane o the few auncient records o the fower guardians.
AC Cobra
History an development
Lik mony Breetish specialist manufacturers, AC Caurs haed been uisin the smooth, refined Bristol straight-6 ingine in its sma-volume production, includin its AC Ace 2-seater roadster. This haed a haund-biggit body wi a steel tube frame, an aluminium body panels that wur made uisin Inglis wheelin machines. The ingine wis a pre-Warld War II design o BMW which bi the 1960s wis considered dated. Bristol decidit in 1961 tae cease production o its ingine an insteid tae uise Chrysler 331 cid (5.4 L) V8 ingines. Awtho untrue, it is commonly believed that AC wis left wi'oot a future soorce o pouer an that American ex-racin driver Carroll Shelby saved the company frae bankruptcy. AC startit uisin the 2.6 litre Ford Zephyr ingine in its caurs. In September 1961, Shelby airmailed AC a letter askin them if thay wad big him a caur modified tae accept a V8 ingine. AC agreed, providit a suitable ingine coud be foond. He first went tae Chevrolet tae see if thay wad provide him wi ingines, but no wantin tae add competeetion tae the Corvette thay said nae. Ford houiver, wantit a caur that coud compete wi the Corvette an thay happened tae hae a brand new thin-wall sma-block ingine which coud be uised in this endeavor. It wis Ford's 260 in³ HiPo (4.2 L) ingine - a new lichtweight, thin-wall cast sma-block V8 tuned for hie performance. In Januar 1962 mechanics at AC Caurs in Thames Ditton, Surrey fittit the prototype chassis CSX0001 wi a 221ci Ford V8. Efter testin an modification, the ingine an transmission wur removed an the chassis wis air-freightit tae Shelby in Los Angeles on 2 Februar 1962.. His team fittit it wi an ingine an transmission in less nor aicht oors at Dean Moon's shop in Santa Fe Springs, Californie, an began road-testin.
Production proved tae be easy, syne AC haed awready made maist o the modifications needit for the sma'-block V8 whan thay installed the 2.6 litre Ford Zephyr ingine, includin the extensive rework o the AC Ace's front end. The maist important modification wis the fittin o a stranger rear differential tae haundle the increased ingine pouer. A Salisbury 4HU unit wi inboard disk brakes tae reduce unsprung wecht wis chosen insteid o the auld ENV unit. It wis the same unit uised on the Jaguar E-Type. On the production version, the inboard brakes wur moved ootboard tae reduce cost. The anerlie modification o the front end o the first Cobra frae that o the AC Ace 2.6 wis the steerin box, which haed tae be moved ootward tae clear the wider V8 motor.
The first 75 Cobra Mark I (includin the prototype) wur fittit wi the 260 ingine (4.2 L). The remainin 51 Mark I model wur fittit wi a lairger version o the Windsor Ford ingine, the 289 in³ (4.7 L) V8. In late 1962 Alan Turner, AC's chief engineer completit a major design chynge o the caur's front end an wis able tae fit it wi rack an pinion steerin while still uisin transverse leaf spring suspension. The new caur entered production in early 1963 an wis designatit Mark II. The steerin rack wis borrowed frae the MGB while the new steerin column cam frae the VW Beetle. Aboot 528 Mark II Cobras wur producit tae the simmer o 1965 (the last US-boond Mark II wis produced in November 1964).
Bi 1963 the leaf-spring Cobra wis losin its supremacy in racin. Shelby tried fittin a lairger Ford FE ingine o 390 in³. Ken Miles drove an raced the FE-powered Mark II an pronoonced the caur wis virtually undrivable, namin it "The Turd." A new chassis wis developed an designatit Mark III.
The new caur wis designed in cooperation wi Ford in Detroit, Michigan. A new chassis wis biggit uisin 4" main chassis tubes (up frae 3") an coil spring suspension aw aroond. The new caur haed wide fenders an a lairger radiator openin an aa. It wis pouered bi the "side oiler" Ford 427 ingine (7.0 L) ratit at 425 bhp which providit a tap speed o 164 mph (262 km/h) in the standard model an 485 bhp wi a tap speed o 185 mph in the competeetion model. Cobra Mark III production began on 1 Januar 1965; twa prototypes haed been sent tae the Unitit States in October 1964. Caurs wur sent tae the US as unpaintit rollin chassis, an thay wur finished in Shelby's workshop. Awtho an impressive automobile, the caur wis a financial failure an did no sell well. In fact tae save cost, maist AC Cobra 427s wur actually fittit wi Ford's 428 in³ (7.0 L) ingine, a lang stroke, smawer bore, lawer cost ingine, intendit for road uise rather than racin. It seems that a tot o 300 Mark III caurs wur sent tae Shelby in the USA during the years 1965 an 1966, includin the competeetion version. 27 sma' block narrow fender version which wur referred tae as the AC 289 wur sauld in Europe. Unfortunately, The MK III missed homologation for the 1965 racin saison an wis na raced bi the Shelby team. Houever, it wis raced successfully bi mony privateers an went on tae win races aw the wey intae the 70s. Interestingly, 31 unsold competeetion caurs wur detuned an made road worthy an cawed S/C for semi-competeetion. The day, thir ar the rarest an the maist valuable models an can sell for in excess o 1.5 million dollars. The AC 427 (i.e. the Mark III) dimensions wur: oweraw lenth o 14.583 feet (4.445 m), oweraw width o 5.583 ft (1.702 m), heicht (wi its removable tap in place) o 4.250 ft (1.295 m), turnin circle o 34 ft (10.363 m), wheelbase o 8.00 feet (2.438 m), front track o 4.50 ft (1.372 m) an rear track o 4.417 ft (1.346 m). Its fuel tank held 18 imperial gallons an its empty wecht wis approximately 2,300 lb (1044 kg).
The Fishin Pairtie
The war some dout that this micht see the Scots National Pairtie loss votes, seein as tradietionalie it haes wun the feck o the votes o thaim that's a pairt o the Scots fishin industrie. Houaniver, the Fishin Pairtie didna win nae seats in the 2003 Scots Pairlament election. Its ae candidate, George Geddes, got 5,566 votes (2.28%) on the regional list in the North East o Scotland. The best result wis in the Banff an Buchan seat, whaur the pairtie got 2,007 votes (7.7%). The pairtie didna hae onie candidates staund in the ae-member seats.
AC Cobra
History an development
AC Cobras haed an extensive racin career. Shelby wanted it tae be a "Corvette-Beater" an at nearly 500 lb less nor the Chevrolet Corvette, the lichtweight caur did juist that. The Cobra wis aiblins too successfu as a performance caur an reputedly contreibutit aeo the implementation o naitional speed leemits in the Unitit Kinrick. An AC Cobra Coupe wis calculated tae hae done 186 mph on the M1 motorway in 1964, driven bi Jack Sears an Peter Bolton during shakedown tests prior tae that year's Le Mans 24h race. Houiver, govrenment offeecials hae cited the increasin accident daith rate in the early 1960s as the principal motivation, wi the exploits o the AC Cars team merely hichtlichtin the risk.
The Fishin Pairtie
The pairtie wis deregistrate as a polietical pairtie wi the Electoral Commission on the 23 Mairtch 2004 an is thocht tae no be active.

AC Cobra
Coupé
In an effort tae improve tap speed alang the legendary Mulsanne Straight at the 24 Hours o Le Mans race, a nummer o enclosed, coupe variations wur constructit uisin the leafspring chassis an runnin gear o the AC/Shelby Cobra Mark II. The maist famous an numerous o thir wur the offeecial works Shelby Daytona Cobra Coupes. Sax wur constructit in tot, each bein subtly different frae the rest. AC forby produced a Le Mans coupe. The caur wis a ane-off an wis nearly destroyed efter a hie-speed tire blow-oot at the 1964 Le Mans race. The caur wis completely rebuilt an as o nou is in private awnership in Ingland. The third significant Cobra-based coupe wis the Willment Cobra Coupe biggit bi the JWA racin team. A road-goin Shelby Daytona Cobra replica is bein manufactured bi Superformance an Factory Five Racing, a well kent kit caur company. Thir caurs uise Pete Brock's bodywork designs, scaled up tae increase room inside, an a newly designed spaceframe chassis, thay ar pouered bi Roush-biggit Ford Windsor (Sportsman) ingines. The Superformance Shelby Daytona Coupe is the anerlie modren-day vehicle recognised bi Shelby as a successor tae the oreeginal Coupes.
Cockatrice
A Cockatrice is a leegendar craitur aboot the bouk an shape o a draigon or wyvern, but its kythe resemmlin a whappin callach, wi a wheen o lizart-sib chairacteristics. It wis jaloused tae be born frae an egg lee'n bi a callach an cosied bi a puddock or serpon.
Its reputit maigical abeelities includes turnin fowk tae stane bi aither leukin at thaim, titchin thaim, or whiles pechin on thaim, lik a dragoun (draigon) pechin fire.
AC Cobra
Continuation caurs
Frae the late 1980s onwards, Carroll Shelby an associated companies hae biggit what ar kent in the hobby as "Continuation Caurs", Shelby authorized continuations o the oreeginal AC bodied Shelby Cobra series. Initially the caur everyane wantit in a Continuation wis a 427 S/C model which wis representit in the CSX4000 series. This wis meant tae continue whaur the last 427 S/C production left off, at approximately serial nummer CSX3560 in the 1960s.
The initial CSX4000 series caurs wur completit frae new auld stock as well as newly manufactured pairts. Gradually as the vintage pairts supply ran law, newly biggit frames an body panels wur obtained frae a variety o suppliers. The production o chassis nummers CSX4001 tae CSX4999 teuk roughly 20 years an mony different business relationships tae complete.
Aw models o Cobra produced ar available nou as continuations. In 2009, CSX4999 wis produced, concludin the 4000 series. Production haes continued wi the CSX6000 serial nummers, featurin "coil over" suspension. The 289 FIA "leaf spring" race version o the caur is reproduced as CSX7000, an the oreeginal "slab side" leaf spring street caur is the CSX8000 series.
Tae date maist continuations ar produced in feebreglass, wi some orderin caurs wi aluminum or carbon feebre bodywork.
In 2004, at the North American Internaitional Auto Show in Detroit, Ford unveiled a concept for a modernized Shelby Cobra. The Ford Shelby Cobra Concept wis a continuation o Ford's effort tae bring back the retro sports caurs that haed been successfu in the 1960s, includin the Ford GT40 an the fift generation Ford Mustang.
Super Snake
Shelby Motors biggit twintie twa 427 competeetion roadsters. In 1965, ane wis selectit an convertit intae a special model cried the 427 "Cobra tae End Aw Cobras." The first ane o thir (nummer CSX3015) wis oreeginally pairt o a European promotional tour afore its conversion. This conversion cawed for makin the oreeginal racin model street legal wi mufflers, a windshield an bumpers amangst ither modifications. But some things wur no modified, includin the racin rear end, brakes an headers. The maist notable modification is the addition o Twin Paxton Superchargers. This gae the caur a claimed 462 brake horsepouer (bhp) an 800 Ft pounds o torque at 3000 rpm. Offeecially 0 tae 60 mph wis achieved in 4.5 seconds, awtho thare ar reports o this bein achieved in little ower 3 seconds.
Anither non-competeetion 427 roadster, CSX3303, wis convertit an gien tae Shelby's close friend, Bill Cosby. Cosby attemptit tae drive the super-fast Cobra, but haed issues wi keepin it unner control. This wis humorously documentit in Cosby's album titled Bill Cosby, 200 M.P.H.. Cosby gae the caur back tae Shelby, who then shipped it oot tae ane o thair dealers in San Francisco, S&C Ford on Van Ness Avenue. S&C Ford then sauld it tae customer Tony Maxey. Maxey, sufferin the same issues as Cosby did wi the caur, lost control an drove it off o a cliff, landin in the Paceefic Ocean waters. It is tae be notit that Maxey's accident wis lairgely speculatit as suicide. It wis eventually recovered an the wreckage wis bought bi Brian Angliss o AC/Autokraft. Syne CSX3303 wis sae badly damaged in the Maxey accident, it is doubtful that muckle o the oreeginal caur will surface in the restored version.
Shelby's oreeginal model, CSX3015, wis kept bi Carroll Shelby himsel ower the years as a personal caur, whiles enterin it intae local races lik the Turismos Visitadores Cannonball-Run race in Nevada, whaur he wis "wakin [up] whole touns, blowin oot windows, throwin belts an catchin fire a couple o times, but finishin." CSX3015 wis auctioned off on 22 Januar 2007 at the Barrett-Jackson Collector Caur Event in Scottsdale, Arizona for $5 million plus commission. This wad be a record for Cobras, as well as for a Barrett-Jackson sell price.

Šiauliai Coonty
History
In October 1795, Catherine the Great grantit Šiauliai the ceety richts an the privilege tae become the caipital toun o the region. Admeenistrative diveesion o Roushie Empire remained unchyngit up tae the end o Warld War I. Whan the war came tae its end, in 1918 Lithuania wis restored as an unthirlt state.
On 17 Dizember 1918, a circular No.1 wis issued "On Municipalities in Lithuanie" that declared that the entire aurie o Lithuanie wad be dividit intae the regions - apskritys (coonty sometimes translatit intae Inglis as a provinces or coonties). Thare wur 10 apskritys in Lithuania.
In 1937 Siauliai coonty's oweraw territory wis 6042 km² an 210 thoosans fowk livit thare. It wis the lairgest apskritis in Lithuanie.
In 1940 the Soviet Union occupee'd Lithuanie an reformit the admeenistrative seestem. The coonty seestem remained till 1950 when the coonties wur abolished an entire aurie wis dividit intae smawer units - destricts, or rajonas in Lithuanie.
Anerlie in 1994 - fower years efter the restoration o Lithuanie's unthirldom in 1990 - the apskritys were created again. Housomeivver, the interwar apskritys shoud no be mixed wi current apskritys, as their purpose, sizes, an nummer are aw different, see admeenistrative diveesions o Lithuanie. The entire aurie o Lithuanie is currently dividit intae 10 lairger units - apskritys an smawer destricts, consistin o urban an landwart elderships.

The Toyota Hilux is a series of utility vehicles producit an marketit bi the Toyota Motor Corporation. Maist kintras uised the Hilux name for the entire life o the series but in North Americae, the Hilux name wis retired in 1976 in favor o Truck, Pickup Truck, or Compact Truck. In North Americae the popular option package, the SR5 (Sport Rally 5-Speed), an aa became synonymous wi the truck, even tho the option package wis uised on ither Toyota models as well an aw. In 1984, the Trekker, the camper version o the Hilux, wis renamit as the 4Runner in Australie an North Americae, an as the Hilux Surf in Japan. In 1995, Toyota introducit a new pickup model, the Tacoma in the Unitit States, discontinuin the Hilux/Pickup thare. The 4Runner is nou a full SUV, an the mair recent models dae no resemble the Tacoma.

Metamorphosis
Metamorphosis is a biological process bi which an animal pheesically develops efter birth or hatchin, involvin a conspicuous an relatively abrupt chynge in the animal's body structur throu cell growth an differentiation. Some insects, amphibians, molluscs, crustaceans, Cnidarians, echinoderms an tunicates unnergo metamorphosis, which is uisually accompaniet bi a chynge o habitat or behavior.
Scienteefic uisage o the term is exclusive, an is no applee'd tae general aspects o cell growth, includin rapid growth spurts. References tae "metamorphosis" in mammals are imprecise an anerlie colloquial, but historically idealist ideas o transformation an monadology, as in Goethe's Metamorphosis o Plants, influencit the development o ideas o evolution.
Etymology
The wird "metamorphosis" derives frae Greek μεταμόρφωσις, "transformation, transformin", frae μετα- (meta-), "chynge" + μορφή (morphe), "form".
Ghana
Ghana, offeecially the Republic o Ghana, is a kintra locate in Wast Africae. It mairches wastle wi Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast), norlins wi Burkina Faso, eastle wi Togo, an soothlins wi the Gulf o Guinea. The wird Ghana means "Warrior Keeng" an is derived frae the auncient Ghana Empire.
Ghana wis dwallt in pre-colonial times bi a nummer o auncient predominantly Akan kinricks, includin the Akwamu on the easter strand, the inland Ashanti Empire an various Fante an non-Akan states, lik the Ga an Ewe, alang the strand an inland. The Mande-Gur speakin groups in the north o the kintra estaiblisht several Islamized states, in parteecular Dagbon an Gonja, an wis the middle-men in tred atween ither lairger sahelian Muslim states (lik Mali an Songhai) an the early Akan kinricks, inspecially in the gowd, sclave an saut tred. Tred wi European states fordert efter contack wi the Portuguese in the 15t century, an the Breetish estaiblisht the Gold Coast Crown colony in 1874.
The Gowd Coast gat roon unthirldom frae the Unitit Kinrick in 1957, becomin the first Sub-Saharan African naition tae dae the like, an the name Ghana wis chuisen for the new naition tae refleck the auncient Empire o Ghana, whilk ance stendit ootthrough a feck o wast Africae. Ghana is a memmer o the Sooth Atlantic Peace an Cooperation Zone, the Commonweel o Naitions, the Economic Community o Wast African States, the African Union, an an associate member o La Francophonie.
