Manteel (geology)
The manteel is a pairt o a terrestrial planet or ither rocky body lairge eneuch tae hae differentiation bi density. The interior o the Yird, similar tae the ither terrestrial planets, is chemically dividit intae layers. The manteel is a layer atween the crust an the ooter core. Yird's manteel is a silicate rocky shell aboot 2900 km thick that constitutes aboot 84% o Yird's volume. It is predominantly solit but in geological time it behaves lik verra viscous liquid. The manteel encloses the het core rich in airn an nickel, that occupies aboot 15% o Yird's vollum. Past episodes o meltin an volcanism at the shallaer levels o the manteel hae produced a thin crust o creestallised melt products near the surface, upon which we leeve. Information aboot structure an composeetion o the manteel aither result frae geopheesical investigation or frae direct geoscientific analyses on Yird manteel derived xenoliths.
Twa main zones are distinguished in the upper manteel: the inner asthenosphere componed o plastic flaein rock aboot 200 km thick, an the lawermaist pairt o the lithosphere componed o rigid rock aboot 50 tae 120 km thick. A thin crust, the upper pairt o the lithosphere, surroonds the manteel an is aboot 5 tae 75 km thick.
In some places unner the ocean the manteel is actually exponed on the surface o the Yird. Thare are an aa a few places on land whaur manteel rock haes been pushed tae the surface bi tectonic activity, maist notably the Tablelands region o Gros Morne Naitional Pairk in the Canadian province o Newfoundland an Labrador.
Gordon Brown
James Gordon Brown (born 20 Februar 1951) is a Breetish politeecian that wis Prime Meenister o the Unitit Kinrick an Leader o the Labour Pairty frae 2007 tae 2010. He served as Chancellor o the Exchequer in the Blair Govrenment frae 1997 tae 2007. Brown wis a Member o Pairlament (MP) frae 1983 tae 2015, first for Dumfaurlin East an later for Kirkcaudy an Coudenbeith.
A doctoral graduate o the Varsity o Edinburgh, Brown spent his early career wirkin as baith a lecturer at a further eddication college an a telly jurnalist. He entered Pairlament in 1983 as the MP for Dumfaurlin East. He jyned the Shaidae Cabinet in 1989 as Shaidae Secretar o State for Tred, an wis later promotit tae acome Shaidae Chancellor o the Exchequer in 1992. Efter Labour's veectory in 1997, he wis appyntit Chancellor o the Exchequer, acomin the langest-servin hauder o that office in modren history.
Brown's time as Chancellor wis merked bi major reform o Breetain's monetar an fiscal policy airchitectur, transferrin interest rate settin pouers tae the Bank o Ingland, bi a wide extension o the pouers o the Thesaury tae kiver muckle domestic policy an bi transferrin responsibility for bankin superveesion tae the Financial Services Authority. Controversial muives includit the aboleetion o advance corporation tax (ACT) relief in his first budget, an the remuival in his feenal budget o the 10% "stairtin rate" o personal income tax that he haed introduced in 1999. In 2007, Tony Blair resigned as Prime Meenister an Labour Leader an Brown wis chuisen tae replace him in an uncontestit election.
Efter ineetial rises in opeenion polls follaein Brown acomin Prime Meenister, Labour's popularity declined wi the onset o a recession in 2008, leadin tae puir results in the local an European elections in 2009. A year later, Labour lost 91 seats in the Hoose o Commons at the 2010 general election, the pairty's biggest loss o seats in a single general election syne 1931, makkin the Conservatives the lairgest pairty in a hung pairlament. Brown remeened in office as Labour negotiatit tae form a coaleetion govrenment wi the Leeberal Democrats. On 10 Mey 2010, Brown annoonced he wad staund doun as leader o the Labour Pairty, an instructit the pairty tae pit intae motion the processes tae elect a new leader. Labour's attempts tae retain pouer failed an on 11 Mey, he offeecially resigned as Prime Meenister an Leader o the Labour Pairty. He wis succeedit as Prime Meenister bi David Cameron, an as Leader o the Labour Pairty bi Ed Miliband.
Later, Brown played a prominent role in the campaign surroondin the Scots unthirldom referendum o 2014, galvanisin support behind mainteenin the union. In 2017, Brown published his autobiografie, My Life, Our Times.

Gos
<!--==Habitat== Northern goshawks can be found in both deciduous and coniferous forests. While the species might show strong regional preferences for certain trees, they seem to have no strong overall preferences nor even a preference between deciduous or coniferous trees despite claims to the contrary. More important than the type of trees are the composition of a given tree stand, which should be tall, old-growth with intermediate to heavy canopy coverage (often more than 40%) and minimal density undergrowth, both of which are favorable for hunting conditions. Also, goshawks typically require close proximity to openings in which to execute additional hunting. More so than in North America, the goshawks of Eurasia, especially central Europe, may live in fairly urbanized patchworks of small woods, shelter-belts and copses and even use largely isolated trees in central parts of Eurasian cities. Even if they are way more wary of human presence than the Eurasian sparrowhawk, northern goshhawks are known to live in some relatively densely wooded areas of large cities of Central Europe, such as Berlin and Hamburg; it is a relatively new phenomenon that started in the 20th century. Access to waterways and riparian zones of any kind is not uncommon in goshawk home ranges but seems to not be a requirement. Narrow tree-lined riparian zones in otherwise relatively open habitats can provide suitable wintering habitat in the absence of more extensive woodlands. The northern goshawk can be found at almost any altitude, but recently is typically found at high elevations due to a paucity of extensive forests remaining in lowlands across much of its range. Altitudinally, goshawks may live anywhere up to a given mountain range's tree line, which is usually 3,000 m (9,800 ft) in elevation or less. The northern limit of their distribution coincides with the tree line and here may adapt to dwarf tree communities, often along drainages of the lower tundra. In winter months, the northernmost or high mountain populations move down to warmer forests with lower elevations, often continuing to avoid detection except while migrating. A majority of goshawks around the world remain sedentary throughout the year.
London Borough of Camden
History
The burgh wis creatit in 1965 frae the umwhile aurie o the metropolitan burghs o Hampstead, Holborn, an St Pancras, whilk haed formed pairt o the Coonty o Lunnon. The borough wis named efter Camden Town, whilk haed gained its name frae Charles Pratt, 1st Earl Camden in 1795.
Destricts an environs

Gos
Description
The northern goshawk has relatively short, broad wings and a long tail, typical for Accipiter species and common to raptors that require maneuverability within forest habitats. For an Accipiter, it has a relatively sizeable bill, relatively long wings, a relatively short tail, robust and fairly short legs and particularly thick toes. Across most of the species' range, it is blue-grey above or brownish-grey with dark barring or streaking over a grey or white base color below, but Asian subspecies in particular range from nearly white overall to nearly black above. Goshawks tend to show clinal variation in color, with most goshawks further north being paler and those in warmer areas being darker but individuals can be either dark in the north or pale in the south. Individuals that live a long life may gradually become paler as they age, manifesting in mottling and a lightening of the back from a darker shade to a bluer pale color. Its plumage is more variable than that of the Eurasian sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus), which is probably due to higher genetic variability in the larger goshawk. The juvenile northern goshawk is usually a solid to mildly streaky brown above, with many variations in underside color from nearly pure white to almost entirely overlaid with broad dark cinnamon-brown striping. Both juveniles and adults have a barred tail, with 3 to 5 dark brown or black bars. Adults always have a white eye stripe or supercilia, which tends to be broader in northern Eurasian and North American birds. In North America, juveniles have pale-yellow eyes, and adults develop dark red eyes usually after their second year, although nutrition and genetics may affect eye color as well. In Europe and Asia, juveniles also have pale-yellow eyes while adults typically develop orange-colored eyes, though some may have only brighter yellow or occasionally ochre or brownish eye color. Moulting starts between late March and late May, the male tends to moult later and faster than the female. Moulting results in the female being especially likely to have a gap in its wing feathers while incubating and this may cause some risk, especially if the male is lost, as it inhibits her hunting abilities and may hamper her defensive capabilities, putting both herself and the nestlings in potential danger of predation. The moult takes a total of 4–6 months, with tail feathers following the wings then lastly the contour and body feathers, which may not be completely moulted even as late as October.
Although existing wing size and body mass measurements indicate that the Henst's goshawk (Accipiter henstii) and Meyer's goshawk (Accipiter meyerianus) broadly overlap in size with this species, the northern goshawk is on average the largest member of the genus Accipiter, especially outsizing its tropic cousins in the larger Eurasian races. The northern goshawk, like all Accipiters, exhibits sexual dimorphism, where females are significantly larger than males, with the dimorphism notably greater in most parts of Eurasia. Linearly, males average about 8% smaller in North America and 13% smaller than females in Eurasia, but in the latter landmass can range up to a very noticeable 28% difference in extreme cases. Male northern goshawks are 46 to 61 cm (18 to 24 in) long and have a 89 to 105 cm (35 to 41 in) wingspan. The female is much larger, 58 to 69 cm (23 to 27 in) long with a 108 to 127 cm (43 to 50 in) wingspan. In a study of North American goshawks (A. g. atricapillus), males were found to average 56 cm (22 in) in total length, against females which averaged 61 cm (24 in). Males from six subspecies average around 762 g (1.680 lb) in body mass, with a range from all races of 357 to 1,200 g (0.787 to 2.646 lb). The female can be up to more than twice as heavy, averaging from the same races 1,150 g (2.54 lb) with an overall range of 758 to 2,200 g (1.671 to 4.850 lb).[3][6][30] Among standard measurements, the most oft-measured is wing chord which can range from 286 to 354 mm (11.3 to 13.9 in) in males and from 324 to 390 mm (12.8 to 15.4 in) in females. Additional, the tail is 200–295 mm (7.9–11.6 in), the culmen is 20–26.3 mm (0.79–1.04 in) and the tarsus is 68–90 mm (2.7–3.5 in).-->

The ane historical soorce that haes him in it is Tactius' Agricola, that cries him:
Calgacus isna mentionat durin or efter the battle an he isna named as ane o the preesoners Agriocola teuk wi him efter pittin the Caledonians tae flicht. It isna clear syne gin he wis slain in the fecht or gin he escapit tae play a pairt in the uneasy peace o the follaein years.

Cheetah
The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus), is a big cat that for common bides in eastren an soothren Africae an a few pairts o Iran. The anly livin member o the genus Acinonyx, the cheetah wis first describit bi Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber in 1775. The cheetah is kenspeckle for its slender bouk, deep chest, spottit coat, a smaw roond heid, black tear-lik streaks on the face, lang thin legs an a lang spottit tail. Its lichtly biggit, slender form is in sharp contrast wi the robust big o the ither big cats. The cheetah reaches nearly 70 to 90 cm at the shouder, an wechs 21 - 72 kg. Tho tawer nor the leopard, it is notably smawer nor the lion. Basically yellaeish tan or rufous tae greyish white, the coat is uniformly covered wi nearly 2,000 solit black spots.
Cheetah are active mainly during the day, wi huntin its major activity. Adult males are sociable despite thair territoriality, formin groups cried "coaleetions". Females are nae territorial; thay mey be solitary or live wi thair affspring in hame ranges. Carnivores, cheetah mainly prey upon antelopes an gazelles. Thay will stalk thair prey tae within 100 –, chairge taewart it an kill it bi trippin it during the chase an bitin its throat tae suffocate it tae daith. The cheetah's bouk is specialised for speed; it is the fastest laund ainimal. The speed o a huntin cheetah averages 64 km/h during a sprint; the chase is interspersed wi a few short bursts o speed, when the ainimal can clock 112 km/h. Cheetahs are induced ovulators, breedin throughout the year. Gestation is nearly three month lang, resultin in a litter o teepically three tae five cubs (the nummer can vary frae ane tae aicht). Weanin occurs at sax month; siblings tend tae stay thegither for some time. Cheetah cubs face heicher mortality nor maist ither mammals, especially in the Serengeti region. Cheetahs indwall a variety o habitats – dry forests, scrub forests an savannahs.
Clessifee'd as vulnerable bi the IUCN, the cheetah haes suffered a substantial decline in its historic range due taeo rampant huntin in the 20t century. Several African kintras hae taken steps tae improve the staundarts o cheetah conservation. Thanks tae its prowess at huntin, the cheetah wis tamed an uised tae kill gemme at hunts in the past. The ainimal haes been widely depictit in airt, leeteratur, advertisin an ainimation.
Etymology
The vernacular name "cheetah" is derived frae the Hindi wird चीता (cītā), which in turn comes frae the Sanskrit wird चित्रकायः () meanin "bricht" or "variegatit". The first recordit uise o this wird wis in 1610. An alternative name for the cheetah is "huntin leopard". The scienteefic name o the cheetah is Acinonyx jubatus. The generic name Acinonyx coud hae oreeginatit frae the combination o twa Greek wirds: akinetos means motionless, an onyx means claw. A rough translation o the wird wad be "non-muivin claws", a reference tae the leemitit retractability (capability o bein drawn inside the paw) o the claws o the cheetah relative tae ither cats'. The speceefic name jubatus means "maned" in Laitin, referrin tae the dorsal crest o this ainimal.
Taxonomy
The cheetah is the anly extant species o the genus Acinonyx. It is clessifee'd unner the subfaimily Felinae an faimily Felidae, the faimily that includes lairge cats sic as the lion, teeger an leopard an aa. The species wis first describit bi German naituralist Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber in his 1775 publication Die Säugethiere in Abbildungen nach der Natur mit Beschreibungen.
The cheetah's closest relatives are the cougar (Puma concolor) an the jaguarundi (P.yagouaroundi). Thir three species thegither form the Puma lineage, ane o the aicht lineages o Felidae. The sister group o the Puma lineage is a clade o smawer Auld Warld cats that includes the genera Felis, Otocolobus an Prionailurus.
Subspecies
The five recognised subspecies o the cheetah are:
Characteristics
The cheetah is a big cat wi several distinctive features – a slender bouk, deep chest, spottit pelage, a smaw roondit heid, black tear-lik streaks on the face, lang thin legs an a lang spottit tail. Its lichtly biggit, slender form is in sharp contrast wi the robust big o the ither big cats. The heid-an-bouk lenth ranges frae 112 –. The cheetah reaches 70 – at the shouder, an weichs 21 –. Sicweys, it is clearly tawer nor the leopard, which staunds nearly 55 – at the shouder. The wecht range o the cheetah owerlaps extensively wi that o the leopard, which weichs 28 –. On the ither haund, the cheetah is signeeficantly shorter nor the lion, whase average hicht is nearly 120 cm. Mairower, it is much lichter nor the lion, amang which females weich 126 kg an the muckle hivier males weich 186 kg. Based on meisurments, the smawest cheetahs hae been reportit frae the Sahara, northeastren Africae an Iran. A sexually dimorphic species, males are generally lairger nor females.
Organisation an territory
Apairt frae the lion, the cheetah is the anly cat that is gregarious; houever, female cheetahs tend tae remain solitary. Adult males are teepically gregarious despite thair territoriality, an mey group thegither for life an form "coalitions". Thir groups collectively defend thair territories. In maist cases, a coaleetion will comprise brithers born in the same litter wha stayed thegither efter weanin. Houever, if a cub is the anly male in the litter, then twa or three lone males mey form a smaw group, or a lone male mey jyn an exeestin group.
Communication
The cheetah is a prominently vocal felid. Thay canna roar but instead purr. A wide variety o cheetah vocalisations hae been identified bi several terms, but maist o thir lack a detailed acoustic description, which maks it difficult tae assess reliably which term denotes which soond. In 2010 Robert Eklund (o the Varsity o Göteborg, Swaden) an colleagues published a detailed report on the purrin o the cheetah an compared it wi that observed in ither felids. The cheetah purrs when content, or tae greet kent individuals. A chairacteristic o purrin is that it is realised on baith egressive an ingressive airstreams. Ither vocalisations Eklund identified include:
Speed an acceleration
The cheetah's bouk is specialised for speed, an it is the fastest laund ainimal.
In general, the speed o a huntin cheetah averages 64 km/h during a chase, interspersed wi a few short bursts when the speed mey vary atween 104 and 120 km/h; the maist reliable meisurment o the teepical speed during a short chase is 112 km/h. The value o the maximum speed is, houever, disputit. The speeds attained bi the cheetah are anly slichtly greater nor thir achieved bi the pronghorn 88.5 km/h an the springbok 88 km/h. Yet the cheetah haes a greater probability o succeedin in the chase due tae its exceptional acceleration – it can attain a speed o 75 km/h in juist twa seiconts. Ane stride or jump o a gallopin cheetah averages 6.7 m. Seemilarly, the ability tae rapidly chynge direction is pivotal in ensurin huntin success. Cheetahs teepically walk at 3 –.
Reproduction
Cheetahs breed throuoot the year; thay are induced ovulators. Females acome sexually matur at 21 tae 22 month o age. Females are polyoestrus – thay hae an oestrus ("heat") cycle every 12days (this can vary frae 10tae 20 days), each oestrus lastin ane tae three days. A female can gie birth again efter 17 tae 20 month; houever, on the loss o a whole litter mithers can mate again.
Gestation is nearly three month lang. The nummer o cubs born can vary frae ane tae aicht, tho the common nummer is three tae five. Birth taks place in a sheltered place sic as thick vegetation. Each cub weichs nearly 150 – at birth; the een, shut at birth, open in 4tae 11 days. Newborn cubs can crawl an spit; thay can stairt walkin bi twa weeks. Thair nape, shouders an back are thickly covered wi lang bluish grey hair. This douny unnerlyin fur, cried a "mantle", gies them a Mohawk-teep appearance; this fur is shed as the cheetah grows aulder. A study notit that this mane gies a cheetah cub the appearance o the honey badger; this coud act as a camouflage in baith ainimals. Cheetah cubs are heichly vulnerable during the first few weeks o thair life; mithers keep thair cubs hidden in dense vegetation for the first month.
The affspring mey stay wi the mither for 13 tae 20 month, associatin wi ane anither an feedin on kills thegither. Efter weanin, juveniles mey form mixed-sex herds; young females mey stay back wi thair mither, but thare is haurdly ony interaction atween the mither an dauchters. The females in the mixed-sex herd gradually muive oot as thay near sexual maturity. In the Serengeti, average age o unthirldom o 70 observed litters wis 17.1 month. Young females haed thair first litters at the age o aboot 2.4 years an subsequent litters aboot 20 month later. The lifespan o wild cheetahs is 14 tae 15 years for females; thair reproductive cycle teepically ends bi 12 years o age. Males generally live as lang as 10 years.
Distribution an habitat
The cheetah indalls a variety o habitats; in Africae it haes been observed in dry forests, scrub forests, an savannahs. Houever, the distribution o prey mey influence habitat preferences; in a study in the Kruger Naitional Pairk, female cheetahs war foond tae spend a signeeficant amoont o time in widlands, whaur impala occurred. It wis suggestit that tho the forestit aurie wis unsuitable for huntin, the females preferred widlands tae encoonter mair impala. Male coaleetions, on the ither haund, shunned dense habitats an spent maist o the time in open savannahs. An explanation gien for this wis that the coalitions prefer lairger prey than impala. Tho thay dinna prefer montane regions, cheetahs can occur at elevations as heich as 4000 m. An open aurie wi some kiver, sic as diffused bushes, is probably ideal for the cheetah acause it needs tae stalk an pursue its prey ower a distance, exploitin its speed. This an aa minimises the risk o encoonterin lairger carnivores. Complete lack o kiver, houever, can be a cause o prey loss an mortality.
In prehistoric times, the cheetah wis distributit throuoot Asie, Africae, Europe, an North Americae. Gradually, it vanished frae Europe an North Americae. Nearly 500 years ago, the cheetah wis still common throuoot Africae, tho it avoidit deserts an tropical forests. Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Palestine, Sirie, an the Ganga an Indus river valleys sheltered lairge nummers o cheetahs. Houever, the day the cheetah haes been exterminatit frae the majority o its earlier range. The IUCN estimates that the tot expanse o the range o the cheetah in earlier times wis approximately 25,344,648 sqkm; the range (as o 2015) haes syne then reduced tae 2,709,054 sqkm, a substantial decline o 89%.

Cheetah
Distribution an habitat
In Africae, the cheetah occurs mainly in eastren an soothren Africae; the range across the continent haes declined tae a mere 10% o the historic expanse. The range in eastren Africae haes reduced tae 6% o its oreeginal range, sae that presently it is distributit in an aurie o 310586 sqkm. In the Horn o Africae, the cheetah occurs in Ethiopie, Kenyae, Sooth Sudan, Tanzanie, an Uganda. The range haes nae reduced as much in the soothren pairt o the continent, whaur it occurs in an aurie o 1223388 sqkm, 22% o its oreeginal range. Tho cheetahs na langer occur in Malawi, signeeficant populations thrive in sooth-wastren Angolae, Botswana, sooth-wastren Mozambique, Namibie, northren Sooth Africae, soothren Zambie, an Zimbabwe. Very few isolated populations occur in the Sahara; the population density in this region is as law as twa tae three individuals per 10000 sqkm. Thay occur in very law nummers in northren an wastren Africae. In the past, the cheetah ranged across vast stretches o Asie: frae the Mediterranean an the Arabian Peninsula in the wast tae the Indian subcontinent in the east, an as far north as the Caspian an Aral Seas. Houever, the cheetah haes disappeared frae the majority o its historic range, save for Iran an possibly a few auries in Afghanistan, the Indian subcontinent, an Turkmenistan.

Cheetah
Status and threats
The cheetah is threatened bi habitat loss throu agricultural an industrial expansion; however, the ainimal apparently requires a muckle aurie tae live in as indicatit bi its law population densities. The cheetah appears tae be less capable nor the leopard o coexeestin wi humans. As sic, human interference can disturb the activities, sic as huntin an feedin, o cheetah. Wi 76% o thair range conseestin o unpertectit land, the cheetah are eften taitgetit bi farmers an pastoralists wha attempt tae pertect thair livestock. Houever, cheetahs teepically dae nae prefer livestock for prey. Gemme hunters mey an aa try tae hairm cheetah as thir carnivores can deprive them o valuable gemme. Roadkill can be anither threat, especially in auries whaur roads hae been constructit near the naitural habitat or pertectit auries. Cases o roadkill involvin cheetahs hae been reportit frae Kalmand, Tūrān, an Bafq. The threat is posed bi infectious diseases is minor, gien the law population densities an hence the minimal chance o infection.
Rhön-Grabfeld
History
In medieval times the region wis a pairt o the Bishopric o Würzburg. When the clerical states o Germany wur dissolved in 1803, it fell tae Bavarie. The destrict o Rhön-Grabfeld wis established in 1972, when the umwhile destricts o Bad Neustadt, Königshofen an Mellrichstadt wur mergit.
Geography
The destrict consists o twa destinct auries: The eastren pairts o the Rhön muntains an the Bavarie portion o Grabfeld.
Grabfeld is a fertile region sooth o the Rhön muntains. Literally it means "digfield". Accordin tae local legend a queen ance lost her belovit ring in the Grabfeld. She ordered her servants tae dig up the whole aurie. When the ring wis foond, she was relieved an ordered a ryal estate tae be built whaur it was foond. Later this estate became the ceety o Königshofen.

She wis a lady-in-wauiting tae Princess Henrietta o Ingland, "Madame", wife o Philippe o Fraunce an sister-in-law o Louis XIV. While in Ingland, Charles II appointit her as a lady-in-waiting tae his own queen, Catherine o Braganza.

Spur-hawk
The Spur-hawk, blue hawk, blue merlin or gleg hawk (Accipiter nisus) is a smaw bird o prey in the faimily Accipitridae that includes mony ither diurnal Birds o prey sic as eagles an bizzarts. Adult male Spur-hawks haes bluish gray upperpairts an orange-strippit unnerpairts; females an bairns are broun abuin wi broun strips ablow. The male is up tae 25 % smawer nor the female - the lairgest differ atween the sexes in ony bird species.<!--Though it is a predator which specialises in catching woodland birds, the Eurasian sparrowhawk can be found in any habitat and often hunts garden birds in towns and cities. Males tend to take smaller birds, including tits, finches, and sparrows; females catch primarily thrushes and starlings, but are capable of killing birds weighing 500 g (18 oz) or more.
The Eurasian sparrowhawk is found throughout the temperate and subtropical parts of the Old World; while birds from the northern parts of the range migrate south for winter, their southern counterparts remain resident or make dispersive movements. Eurasian sparrowhawks breed in suitable woodland of any type, with the nest, measuring up to 60 cm (2.0 ft) across, built using twigs in a tree. Four or five pale blue, brown-spotted eggs are laid; the success of the breeding attempt is dependent on the female maintaining a high weight while the male brings her food. The chicks hatch after 33 days and fledge after 24 to 28 days.
The probability of a juvenile surviving its first year is 34%, with 69% of adults surviving from one year to the next. Mortality in young males is greater than that of young females and the typical lifespan is four years. This species is now one of the most common birds of prey in Europe, although the population crashed after the Second World War. Organochlorine insecticides used to treat seeds before sowing built up in the bird population, and the concentrations in Eurasian sparrowhawks were enough to kill some outright and incapacitate others; affected birds laid eggs with fragile shells which broke during incubation. However, its population recovered after the chemicals were banned, and it is now relatively common, classified as being of least concern by BirdLife International.
The Eurasian sparrowhawk's hunting behaviour has brought it into conflict with humans for hundreds of years, particularly racing pigeon owners and people rearing poultry and gamebirds. It has also been blamed for decreases in passerine populations. The increase in population of the Eurasian sparrowhawk coincides with the decline in house sparrows in Britain. Studies of racing pigeon deaths found that Eurasian sparrowhawks were responsible for less than 1%. Falconers have utilised the Eurasian sparrowhawk since at least the 16th century; although the species has a reputation for being difficult to train, it is also praised for its courage. The species features in Teutonic mythology and is mentioned in works by writers including William Shakespeare, Alfred, Lord Tennyson and Ted Hughes.-->
Sistan an Baluchestan Province
The province is the lairgest in Iran, wi an aurie o 181,785 km² an a population o 2.4 million. The coonties o the province are Chabahar, Dalgan, Hirmand, Iranshahr, Khash, Konarak, Nikshahr, Saravan, Sarbaz, Soran, Zabol, Zaboli, Zahedan an Zehak.
The population comprises Sunni Muslim Baluchis an Shi'a Persian Sistanis.
Geography an cultur
The province comprises twa sections, Sistan in the north an Baluchestan in the sooth. The combined Sistan & Baluchestan province the day accoonts for ane o the driest regions o Iran wi a slicht increase in rainfaw frae east tae wast, an an obvious rise in humidity in the coastal regions. The province is subject tae seasonal winds frae different directions, the maist important o which are the 120-day wind o Sistan kent as Levar, the Qousse wind, the seiventt (Gav-kosh) wind, the Nambi or sooth wind, the Hooshak wind, the humid an saisonal winds o the Indian Ocean, the North or (Gurich) wind an the wastren (Gard) wind.
In the sooth, east an wast o Sistān an Balūchestān, the fowk are maistly Balōch an speak the Balochi leid. The name Balūchestān means "Land o the Balōchi" in Persie leid. Similarly, the Persie leid name Sistān comes frae the Auld Persie Sakastāna, meanin "Land o the Sakas".
Mony scholars, orators, an literary personalities hae sprung up frae this pairt o Iran, amangst which are the reputit Farrokhi sistani, Ya'qub bin Laith as-Saffar an Rostam. Ayatollah Sistani is an aa frae Sistān; tho he currently resides in Najaf, Iraq.
History
In the epigraphs o Bistoon an Persepolis, Sistan is mentioned as ane o the eastren territories o Darius the Great. The name Sistan, as mentioned abuin, is derived frae Saka (an aa whiles Saga, or Sagastan), ane o the Aryan tribes that haed taken control ower this aurie in the year 128 BCE. Durin the Arsacid Dynasty (248 BC tae 224 CE), the province became the seat o Suren-Pahlav Clan. Frae the Sassanid period till the early Islamic period, Sistan flourished considerably.
Durin the reign o Ardashir I o Persie, Sistan came unner the jurisdiction o the Sassanids, an in 644CE, the Arab Muslims gained control as the Persian empire wis in its feenal moments o collapsin.
Durin the reign o the seciont caliph o Islam, this territory wis conquered bi the Arabs an an Arab commander wis assigned as govrenor. The famous Persian ruler Ya'qub-i Laith Saffari, whose descendants dominatit this aurie for mony centuries, later became govrenor o this province. In 916 CE, Baluchestan wis ruled bi the Daylamids an thereefter the Seljuqids, when it became a pairt o Kerman. Dynasties such as the Saffarids, Samanids, Qaznavids, an Seljuqids, an aa ruled ower this territory.
In 1508 CE, Shah Ismail I o the Safavid dynasty conquered Sistan, an durin the reign o Nader Shah thare wis further turmoil.
Baluchestan haes aaways gane bi twa auncient names, the Maga/Maka (which throu the passage o time it chyngit tae Mokran / Makran), an Godar (frae the Bactrian leid (Pashto) frae which the Greeks derived Gedrosia an which, throu the passage o time, chyngit tae Gwadar). Baith names still survive inside the Pakistan admeenistered pairt o Baluchestan the day.
Sistan an Baluchestan the day
The province the day is the maist unnerdeveloped, desolate, an poorest o Iran's provinces. The govrenment o Iran haes been tryin tae reverse this situation bi implementin new plans such as creatin the Chabahar Free Trade-Industrial Zone.
Publications
A nummer o Iranian scholars hae published thair wirks on the cultural an social issues o Balochistan o Iran such as Dr. Iraj Afshar Sistani, Dr. Azim Shahbukhsh, Ghasem Siasar, an Abdolvodod Sepahi. On poleetical issues several major wirks hae been done bi Professor Selig Harrison an Dr. Taj Mohammad Berissiq. Housomeivver, on the politics o Balochistan efter the Islamic Revolution o 1979, twa substantial studies hae been carried oot bi Dr. Mohammad Hassan Hosseinbor an Dr. Ahmad Reza Taheri.
Asthenosphere
The asthenosphere (frae Greek asthenēs 'weak'  + sphere) is the heichly viscous, mechanically waik an ductilely-defurmin region o the upper mantle o the Yird. It lies belaw the lithosphere, at depths atween ~80 an ~200 km (~ 50 an 124 mile) ablo the surface. The lithosphere-asthenosphere boondary is uisually referred tae as LAB. Asthenosphere is generally solit altho some its regions coud be meltit (e.g. belaw mid-ocean ridge). The lawer boondary o the asthenophere is nae well defined. The thickness o the asthenosphere depends mainly on the temperatur. For some regions asthenosphere coud extend as deep as 700 km. It is considered the soorce region o mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB).

Hydrogen
Hydrogen is the least wechtie atom in the universe, wi the atomic nummer o 1. It haes the seembol H, an a atomic wecht o 1.007 94 u. Hydrogen is aften lik tae burn an gin it burns in air, it jynes wi oxygen tae mak watter.
Hydrogen gas (H2) wis first made bi human haunds in the 16t century frae the kirnin o metals wi strang acids. In 1766-1781, Henry Cavendish wis the first ane ti ken that hydrogen gas is a discreet thing. Yin o the ideas for replacin motor fuel is tae uise hydrogen insteid, sin fuel maks orra gasses whan it burns, but hydrogen juist maks watter. Acause o this, we caw the element hydrogen, that beirs "watter-shaper" in Greek. Tho hydrogen is the maist common atom in the universe, makin aboot 75% o the universe's maess. Maist hydrogen is grippit in starns, sae bodies canna get uise o it.
