Year
A yeir (frae Auld Inglis gēar; Gothic jēr; Runic jēran) is a unit o time based on tha orbital period o tha Yird movin aroond tha Sun. Fur an observer at is oan tha Yird, thes corresponds tae tha period it taes tha sun tae complete a bodie coorse throoghit tha Zodiac alang tha ecliptic. In astronomy, tha Julian year is a unit o time at is defined as 365.25 days o SI seconds each (nae lowp seconds).Internaitional Astronomical Union"SI units" accessed Februar 18, 2010. (see table fife an section fife.15.) reprintit frae George A. Wilkins & IAU commission fife, "The IAU Style Manual (1989)" (PDF file) in IAU Transactions vol. xxb Thaur is nae universally acceptit seembol fur the year as a unit o time. The Internaitional Seestem o Units disnae propose a bodie. A common abbreviation in internaitional uisage is a (fur the Laitin wird annus), in Scots an Inglis an aw y or yr. Due tae the Yird's axial kelter, the coorse o a year sees the passin o the saisons, merked bi varioos changes in weaither, hoors o daylicht, an consequently vegetation an fertility. In temperate an subpolar regions, generally fower saisons ur recognised: ware, simmer, hairst an winter, each wi different temperatur an wather, astronomically merked bi the sun reachin the pynts o equinox an solstice—althoogh the climatic saisons lag behind thair astronomical markers. In some tropical an subtropical regions it is mair common tae spick o the rainy (ur dreich, or monsuin) saison versus the dry saison. A calendar year is an approximation o the Yird's orbital period in a gien calendar. A calendar year in the Gregorian calendar (as weel as in the Julian calendar) haes aither 365 (common years), or 366 (lowp years) days. The wird "year" is an aw uised o periods loosely associatit but nae strictly identical wi aither the astronomical or the calendar year, sic as the saisonal year, the fiscal year or the academic year, etc. Bi extension, the term year can pure techt the orbital period o onie planit: fur example, a "Maurtian year" is the time in which Maurs completes its ain orbit. The term is an aw applied mair broadly tae onie lang period or cycle, sic as the "great year".oed, s.v. "year", entry tae.b.: "transf. Applied tae a huir uv a lang period or cycle (in chronology an mythology, an vaguely in poetic uise)."
Etymology
West saxon gear, Anglian gēr continues Proto-Germanic *jǣram (*jē2ram). Cognates ur German jahr, auld high german jar, auld norse ár an Gothic jer, aw frae a pie *yērom ("year" or "saison"). Cognates ootwith o Germanic or Avestan yare ("year"), ancient Greek ὥρα ("year", "saison", or "period o time"), whence "hoor", auld kirk slavonic jaru an Laitin hornus ("o thes year"). Laitin annus (a 2nt declension masculine noon); annum is the accusatife singular; anni is genitife singular an nominatife plural; anno is the datife an ablatife singular) is frae a pie noin ', which yielded Gothic aþnam ("year") an aw. Baith *yē-ro- an *at-no- ur based oan verbal ruits fur expressin movement—*at- an *ey-, respectively—baith meanin "tae go" fur ordinar. The Greek wird fur "year", ἔτος, is cognate wi Laitin vetus ("old"), frae peh *wetus- ("year"), preserved in thes meanin in sanskrit ' ("yearlin cauf") an  ("year") an aw. Derived frae the Laitin annus ur a nummer o Scots wirds, sic as annual, annuity, anniversary, etc.; per annum means "each year".
Saisonal yeir
A saisonal yeir is the time atween successife recurrences o a saisonal event, sic as the fluidin o a river, the migration o a species o spyug, the flouerin o a species o plaunt, the first frost o the yeir, or the first scheduled gam o a certaint sport. Aw thir events can hae wide variations o mair nor a month frae yeir tae yeir.
Fiscal year
A fiscal year or financial year is a 12-month period uised fur calculatin annual financial statements in businesses an ither organisations. In mony jurisdictions, regulations regardin accoontin require sic reports ance per twal months, but dinnae require at the twal months constitute a calendar year. Fur example, in Canada an Indie the fiscal year runs frae Apryle 1; in the Unitit Kinrick it runs frae Apryle yin fur purposes o corporation tax an government financial statements, but frae Apryle sex fur purposes o personal taxation an payment o state benefits; in Australia it runs frae Julie 1, while in the Unitit States, the fiscal year o the federal government runs frae October yin.
Julian year
The Julian year, as uised in astronomy an ither sciences, is a unit o time defined as exactly 365.25 days. Thes is the normal meanin o the unit "year" (seembol "a" frae the Laitin annus) uised in varioos scienteefic contexts. The Julian century o days an the Julian millennium o  days ur uised in astronomical calculations. Fundamentally, expressin a time interval in Julian years is a wey tae precisely specify hoo mony days (nae hoo mony "real" years), fur lang time intervals whaur statin the nummer o days woods be unwieldy an unintuitife. Bi convention, the Julian year is uised in the computation o the distance covered bi a lichtyear. In the unified code fur units o measure, the seembol a (withit subscript) aye refers tae the Julian year aj o exactly seiconts. 365.25 days o seconds = yin a = yin aj =  ms the SI multiplier prefixes main be applied tae it tae f'rm ka (kiloannum), ma (megaannum) etc.
Sidereal, tropical, an anomalistic years
Each o thir three year can be luisely cried an "astronomical year". The sidereal year is the time taen fur the Yird tae complete a bodie revolution o its orbit, as measured against a fixed fram o reference (sic as the fixed stars, Laitin sidera, singular sidus). Its average duration is pure techt solar days (365 d sex h 9 min 9.76 s) (at the epoch j2000.0 = Januar yin, 2000, 12:00:00 tt). Internaitional Yird rotation and reference system service. (2010).iers eop pc uiseful constants. the tropical year is the period o time fur the ecliptic longitude o the sun tae increase bi 360 degrees. Syne the sun's ecliptic longitude is measured wi respect tae the equinox, the tropical year comprises a complete cycle o the saisons; coz o the biological an socio-economic importance o the saisons, the tropical year is the basis o maist calendars. The tropical year is commonly defined fur the pure techt motion o the sun alang the ecliptic. Thes differs frae the actual time atween passages o, e.g., the northward equinox fur several reasons explained ablo. Coz o the Yird's axial precession, thes year is abit 20 meenits shorter than the Sidereal year. The pure techt tropical year is approximately 365 days, fife hoors, 48 meenits, 45 seconds (= days). The anomalistic year is the time taen fur the Yird tae complete a bodie revolution wi respect tae its apsides. The orbit o the Yird is elliptical; the extreme pynts, cried "apsides", or the perihelion—whaur the Yird is closest tae the sun (aboot 3 Januar in 2011)—an the aphelion, whaur the Yird is farthest frae the sun (Julie fuir in 2011). The anomalistic year is uisually defined as the time atween perihelion passages. Its average duration is days (365 d sex h 13 min 52.6 s) (at the epoch j2011.0). if Yird moved in an ideal kepler orbit, i.e. a perfect ellipse wi the sun fixed at a bodie focus, each kin o year woods aye hae the sam duration, an the sidereal an anomalistic years woods be equal. Coz o perturbations bi the gravity o ither planits, Yird's motion varies slichtly, causin the sidereal an tropical years tae vary in lenth bi abit 25 meenits (see the table ablo). Baith ur affectit in the sam wey, sae at the sidereal year is consistently 20 meenits langer than the tropical year, providit at thay ur measured in huir uv a sam wey.
Draconic year
The draconic year, draconitic year, eclipse year, or ecliptic year is the time taen fur the sun (as seen frae the Yird) tae complete a bodie revolution wi respect tae the sam lunar node (a pynt whaur the muin's orbit intersects the ecliptic). Thes period is associatit wi eclipses: thir occur anly when baith the sun an the muin ur near thir nodes; sae eclipses occur within abit a month o every half o an eclipse year. Hence, thaur ur tois eclipse saisons every eclipse year. The average duration o the eclipse year is: days (346 d 14 h 52 min 54 s) (at the epoch j2000.0). This term is whiles erroneoosly uised fur the draconic or nodal period o lunar precession; at is, the period o a complete revolution o the muin's ascendin node aroond the ecliptic: Julian years ( days, at the epoch j2000.0).
Full muin cycle
The full muin cycle is the time fur the sun (as seen frae the Yird) tae complete a bodie revolution wi respect tae the perigee o the orbit o the muin. Thes period is associatit wi the apparent size o the full muin, an wi the varyin duration o the synodic month an aw. The duration o a bodie foo muin cycle is: : days (411 d 18 h 49 min 34 s) (at the epoch j2000.0).
Lunar year
The lunar year comprises twal foo cycles o the phases o the muin, as seen frae the Yird. It haes a duration o approximately 354.37 days. Muslims uise thes fur celebratin thair eids an fur markin the stairt o the fastin month o Ramadan. A Musleem calender year is based oan the lunar cycle.

Pudú
The pudus (pudú, ) are twa speshies o Sooth American deer frae the genus Pudu, an are the warld's smawest deer. <!--The name is a loanword from Mapudungun püdü or püdu, the leid of the indigenous Mapuche people of central Chile and south-western Argenteinie. The two species of pudus are the northern pudu (Pudu mephistophiles) frae Venezuela, Columbie, Ecuador, and Peru, and the southern pudu (Pudu puda; sometimes incorrectly modified to Pudu pudu) from southern Chile and south-western Argenteinie. Pudus range in size from 32 to 44 centimeters (13 to 17 in) tall, and up to 85 centimeters (33 in) long. The southern pudu is currently classified as near threatened, while the northern pudu is classified as Data Deficient in the IUCN Red List.

Pudú
Description
The pudus are the world's smawest deer, with the southern pudu being slightly mair muckle nor the northern pudu. It has a stocky frame supported by short and slender legs. It is 32 to 44 cm (13 to 17 in) high at the shoulder and up to 85 cm (33 in) in length. Pudus normally weigh up to 12 kg (26 lb), but the highest recorded weight of a pudu is 13.4 kg (30 lb). Pudus hae smaw, black een, black noses, an roond lugs with lengths of 7.5 to 8 cm (3.0 to 3.1 in). Sexual dimorphism in the species includes an absence of antlers in females. Males have short, spiked antlers that are not forked, as seen in most species of deer. The antlers, which are shed annually, can extend from 6.5 to 7.5 cm (2.6 to 3.0 in) in length and protrude from between the ears. Also on the head are large preorbital glands. Pudus have small hooves, dewclaws, and short tails about 4.0 to 4.5 cm (1.6 to 1.8 in) in length when measured without hair. Coat coloration varies with season, sex, and individual genes. The fur is long and stiff, typically pressed close to the body, with a reddish-brown to dark-brown hue. The neck and shoulders of an aged pudu turn a dark gray-brown in the winter.
Year
Symbols "y" an "yr"
In astronomy, geology, an paleontology, the abbreviations yr fur "year" an ya fur "year ago" ur whiles uised, combined wi prefixes fur "thoosand", "million", or "billion". The age o a stratigraphic unit or the time o a geologic event, as commonly determined bi numerical datin or bi reference tae a calibratit time-scale, main be expressed in years afair the present. The unit o time is the modren year as presently recognised warldwide. Recommended but nae mandatory abbreviations fur sic ages ur SI (Internaitional Seestem o Units) multipliers coopled wi "a" fur annum: ka, ma, an ga fur kilo-annum (103 year), mega-annum (106 year), an giga-annum (109 year), respectively. The uisin o thir terms efter the age value follows the convention established in the field o carbon-14 datin. The "present" refers tae 1950 ad, an sic qualifiers as "ago" or "befair the present" ur omittit efter the value coz measurement o the duration frae the present tae the pest is implicit in the designaition. In contraest, the duration o ane remote interval o geologic time, as a nummer o years, shoods nae be expressed bi the sam seembols. Abbreviations fur nummers o years, withit reference tae the present, ur cried informal (e.g., y or yr fur "years"; mah, m.y., or m.yr. fur millions o years; an sae forth, as preference dictates). Fur example, boondaries o the late cretaceoos epoch currently ur calibratit at 63 ma an 96 ma, but the interval o time representit bi thes epoch is 33 m.y. thay arenae SI units, uisin y tae abbreviate Scots year, but followin ambiguoos internaitional recommendations, uise aither the standard Scots first letters as prefixes ("t", "m", an "b") or metric prefixes ("k", "m", an "g"). Thir abbreviations include:
Uisage o "mya" an "bya" is deprecatit in modren geophysics, the recommended usage til "ma" an "ga" fur dates befair present, but "m.y." fur the duration o epochs. Thes ad hoc distinction atween "absolute" time an time intervals is somewhat controversial amongst members o the Geological Society o America. note at oan graphs uisin "ya" units oan the horizontal axis time flows frae reit tae left, which main seem coonter-intuitife. If the "ya" units ur oan the vertical axis, time flows frae tap tae bottom which is probably easier tae kin than conventional notation.

Dik-dik
A dik-dik is the name for ony o fower species o smaw antelope in the genus Madoqua that bide in the busslands o eastren an soothren Africae.<!--Dik-diks stand about 30–40 centimetres (12–15.5 in) at the shoulder, are 50–70 cm (19.5–27.5 in) long, weigh 3–6 kilograms (6.6–13.2 lb) and can live for up to 10 years. Dik-diks are named for the alarm calls of the females. In addition to the females' alarm call, both the male and female make a shrill, whistling sound. These calls may alert other animals to predators.
Characteristics
Female dik-diks are somewhat muckler nor males. The males have horns, which are small (about 7.6 centimetres or 3 in), slanted backwards and longitudinally grooved. The hair on the crown forms an upright tuft that sometimes partially conceals the short, ribbed horns of the male. The upper body is gray-brown, while the lower parts of the body, including the legs, belly, crest, and flanks, are tan. A bare black spot below the inside corner of each eye contains a preorbital gland that produces a dark, sticky secretion. Dik-diks insert grass stems and twigs into the gland to scent-mark their territories.
Apparently to prevent overheating, dik-diks have elongated snouts with bellows-like muscles through which blood is pumped. Airflow and subsequent evaporation cools this blood before it is recirculated to the body. However, this panting is only implemented in extreme conditions; dik-diks can tolerate air temperatures of up to 40 °C (104 °F).
Habitat
Dik-diks bide in shrublands and savannas of eastern Africae. Dik-diks seek habitats with a plentiful supply of edible plants such as shrubs. Dik-diks may live in places as varied as dense forest or open plain, but they require good cover and not too much tall grass. They usually live in pairs in territories of about 5 hectares (12 acres). The territories are often in low, shrubby bushes (sometimes along dry, rocky streambeds) with plenty of cover. Dik-diks, with their dusty colored coat, are able to blend in with their surroundings. Dik-diks have an established series of runways through and around the borders of their territories that are used when they feel threatened.

Dumfries
Toponymy
The're at least three theorys on the etymology o the name. Yin is that the name Dumfries oreeginates fae the Scots Gaelic name Dùn Phris that means "Fort o the rone". Anither is that it comes fae a Brittonic cognate o the ledged Gaelic derivation (Welsh Dyn Prys). Dumfries micht be the same place as Penprys that is mentiont in an awdl (a lang poem) bi Taliesin, an suggests that the first element micht hae been pen, "summit-heid" (Welsh pen). Accordin tae a third theory, the name is a corruption o twa Auld Inglis or Auld Norse wirds that mean "the freer's hill"; thaim that fauvour this idea ledge the formation o a releegious hoose near the heid o whit is noo the Friar's Vennel. If the name wis English or Norse, houiver, the expectit form wad hae the elements in reversed orientation. A Celtic derivation is tharefore preferred. Mairower, the Brittonic element drum, meanin "rig" an the Gaelic elements druim that means the same, an dronn, "a hump", hae aw been suggestit as an explanation o the first element. Thaer is baith ane Dùn an ane druim in the toun.
Chinee goral
Description
The Chinee goral is intermediate between an antelope and a gait and grows to a shoulder height of 50 to 78 cm (20 to 31 in) and length of 82 to 130 cm (32 to 51 in). It is stockily built with long, stout limbs and broad hooves. The horns are short and conical and the lugs fairly long and pointed. The four teats are in contrast to sheep and goats which normally have two. The coat consists of a short, dense under layer and an upper layer of longer, semierect, coarse guard hairs. The colour is somewhat variable, ranging from pale grey to dark brown or reddish brown. A dark stripe runs along the back and the throat and underparts are pale.
Dumfries
Early history
No positive history his been obteent o the era an the circumstances that the toun of Dumfries wis foondit in.
Chinee goral
Distribution an habitat
The Chinese goral is hamelt in parts of southeastern Aisie. Its range extends from northeastern Indie, Myanmar and northwestern Thailand, through northern Vietnam and possibly northern Laos, to most of Cheena apart from the extreme north and west. It is a mountain species and is found in rugged, inaccessible areas, on steep slopes and plateaus, normally staying in rocky areas, but sometimes venturing into nearby evergreen-deciduous forest and mixed woodland.
Trifolium pratense
Trifolium pratense, the reid curl-doddie is a yerbaceous species o flouerin plant in the bean faimily Fabaceae, native tae Europe, Wastren Asie an northwast Africae, but plantit an naituralised in mony ither regions.
Chinee goral
Behaviour
Chinee gorals live in small groups of up to 12 individuals, though older males are usually solitary. They are wary and retiring, spending their time on high rocky slopes where they can evade predators sic as the wouf an leopard. They move to lower ground in winter. They browse predominately on twigs and leaves of bushes, but also consume girse, nuts, and acorns. Breeding takes place in late spring when one or two kids are born after a gestation period of about 215 days. The young can walk soon after birth and are weaned in the autumn, remaining with the mother throughout the winter.
Status
The chief threat faced by the Chinee goral is hunting. Animals are killed for their meat and fur and also for medicine. Part of their range is in protected areas where they should be safe, but elsewhere populations are declining. This is thought to be due to overhunting, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed the Chinee goral as being a "vulnerable species".-->
Plantago major
Plantago major, kent bi siccan names as curl-doddy , healin-blade, or wayburn-leaf is a species o flouerin plant in the plantain faimily Plantaginaceae. The plant is native tae maist o Europe an northren an central Asie,  but haes settelt in a guid mony ither pairts o the warld.
Dumfries
Early history
Some scrievers haud that Dumfries floorisht as a place o distinction durin the Roman Occupeetion o North Great Breetain. The Selgovae bade in Nidsdale at the time and micht hae biggit some military warks o a defensive naitur on or near the site o Dumfries; an it is mair nor likely that a castle o some kynd formt the nucleus o the toun. This is inferred fae the etymology o the name, that, accordin tae ae theory, is resolvable intae twa Gaelic terms, seegnifeein a castle or fort in the shaw or scrogs. Dumfries wis aince within the borders o the Kinrick o Northumbrie. The deestrict aroond Dumfries wis for several centurys rule't ower an deemt o muckle importance bi the invadin Romans. Mony traces o Roman presence in Dumfriesshire is tae be fund yet; cuinyies, wappens, orrals o urns, military yirdwarks, an roads bein amang the relicts left ahint bi thair lenthent bidin in this pairt o Scotland. The Caledonian breed in the sooth o Scotland wis investit wi the same richts bi an edict o Antoninus Pius. The Romanized natives received freedom (the burraes, cairns, an orrals o stane temples tae be seen in the deestrict yet tell o a time whan Druidism wis the prevailin releegion) as weel as civilization fae thair conquerors. Late in the fowert century CE, the Romans bad fareweel til the kintra.
Accordin til anither theory, the name is a corruption o twa wirds that mean "The Freer's Hill"; thaim that fauvour this idea ledge that Saunt Ringan, bi plantin a releegious hoose near the heid o whit is noo Friars Vennel, at the end o the fowert century, becam the the virtual foonder o the burgh; houiver Rangan, sae faur as is kenned, dinna oreeginate ony monastic estaiblishments onywhaur an wis semply a meesionar. In the list o Breetish touns gien bi auncient historian Nennius, the name Caer Peris, that some modren antiquarians suppose tae hae been transmutit, bi change o deealect, intae Dumfries.
Twal o Keeng Arthur's battles wis recordit bi Nennius in his Historia Brittonum. The Battle o Tribuit (the 10t battle) his been suggestit as havin been mebbe near Dumfries or near the mooth o the River Avon near Bo'ness.
Efter the Roman depairtur the aurie aroond Dumfries hid various forms o veesit bi Pechts, Anglo-Saxons, Scots, an Norsemen culminatin a decisive veectory for Giric (Gregory), Keeng o Scots at whit is noo Lochmaben ower the native Britons in 890.
Mediaeval speal
Whan, in 1069, Malcolm Canmore an William the Conqueror haudit a conference regairdin the claims o Edgar the Ætheling til the English Croun, thay met at Abernithi - a term that in the auld Breetish lied means a port at the mooth o the River Nith. It his been argied, the toun sicweys chairacterized maun hae been Dumfries; an tharefore it maun hae existit as a port in the Kinrick o Strathclyde, gin no in the Roman days. Houiver, again this arguement is that the toun is situatit aicht tae nine mile fae the sea, awtho the River Nith is tidal an navigable aw the wey intil the toun itsel.
Awtho at the time 1 mile upstream an on the conter baunk o the Nith fae Dumfries, Lincluden Aibey wis foondit circa 1160. The aibey ruins is on the site o the bailey o the verra early Lincluden Castle, as is thae yins o the later Lincluden Tower. This releegious hoose wis uised for various purposes, until its abandonment aroond 1700. Lincluden Aibey an its grunds is noo within the Dumfries urban conurbation boond. William the Lion grantit the chairter tae raise Dumfries til the rank o a ryal burgh in 1186. Dumfries wis verra much on the mairch durin its first 50 year as a burgh an it growed verra swith as a mercat toun an port.
Alexander III veesitit Dumfries in 1264 tae plan an expedeetion again the Isle o Man, afore Scots bit for 180 year subjectit til the croun o Norawa. Identified wi the conquest o Man, Dumfries skare't in the weel-bein o Scotland for the next 22 year until Alexander's accidental deith brang an Augustan era in the toun's history til a snippen end.
A ryal castle, that no langer exists, wis built in the 13t century on the site o the praisent Castledykes Park. In the latter pairt o that century William Wallace chase't a fleein force soothwart throu the Nith dale. The English fugies met the yetts o Dumfries Castle that remained closed firm in thair presence. Wi a menyie o the toun's fowk jynin Wallace an his follaein pursuers whan thay arrived, the fleein English met thair end at Cockpool on the Solway Coast. Efter restin at Caerlaverock Castle a few mile awa fae the bluidlattin, Wallace again passt throu Dumfries on the day efter as he retourt north tae Sanchar.
In the invasion o 1300, Edward I o England ludged a wheen o days in Juin wi the Minorite Freers o the Vennel, afore, at the heid o the than-mucklemaist invasion force tae attack Scotland, he asieged Caerlaverock Castle. Efter Caerlaverock yieldit hinderly, Edward passt throu Dumfries again as he crosst the Nith so as tae tak the invasion tae Gallowa. Wi the Scots nobility haein requeestit assistance fae the Haly See for thair cause, Edward on his retour tae Caerlaverock wis praisentit wi a missive directit tae him bi Pape Boniface VIII. Edward haudit coort in Dumfries that he greed grudgin til a parley. On 30 October, the parley soleecitit bi Boniface wis adheebitit bi Edward at Dumfries. Letters fae Edward, datit at Dumfris, wis sent tae his subordinates ootthrou Scotland, orderin thaim tae gie effect tae the treaty. The peace wis tae last until Whitsunday in the follaein year.
Afore becomin Keeng o Scots, Robert the Bruce slaw his rival the Red Comyn at Greyfriar's Kirk in the toun on 10 Februar 1306. His switherin aboot the fatality o his stobbin caused yin o his follaers, Roger de Kirkpatrick, tae mooth the famous "A mak siccar" an feenish the Red Comyn aff. Bruce wis excommunicatit subsequent as an upshot, less for the murther nor its location. Regairdless, for the Bruce the dice wis casten at the maument in Greyfriars an sae begoud his campaign bi force for the independence o Scotland. Swuirds wis drawn bi supporters o baith sides, the buirial grund o the Monastery becomin the theatre o battle. Bruce an his pairty than attackit Dumfries Castle. The English gairison surrendert an for the third time in the day Bruce wis victorious. He wis crount King o Scotland scrimp seiven week efter. Bruce later triumpht at the Battle o Bannockburn an led Scotland tae independence.
