Paximathia, or Paximadia (; singular: paximathi/paximadi), are hard breads of Greek origin. They are made from wheat, chickpea, or barley-flour. Paximathia are seen as similar to biscotti or type of biscotti. They are sold in many Greek bakeries and are a common food in Greece often served as breakfast with marmalade or cheese. Paximathia are also supplied in Greek stores in many parts of the United States. History. The name "paximathia" comes from the Greek word "paximadion" (παξιμάδιον), which comes from a 1st-century Greek named Paxamus who wrote a cookbook. The word first appears in a recipe for laxative biscuits written by the Greek doctor Galen. Paximathia were eaten by Greek farmers, the Byzantine army, and priests. Greek farmers would eat paximathia in their fields after softening them by soaking them in water and olive oil. They sometimes ate them with other foods like homemade cheese and a few olives. Paximathia used to be baked outdoors in ovens around every ten to fifteen days, after which the bread would be sliced into thick wedges and put back into the ovens to dry. They were an important food for the people of Crete. Making and types. Paximathia are made with wheat, chickpea, or barley-flour. Other ingredients used may include eggs, vegetable oil, cinnamon, cloves, and orange zest. Today, paximathia are usually baked overnight in ovens that have been turned off, whereby the bread is cooked from the remaining heat. This method cooks the bread to a dry state without creating brittleness that can cause crumbling. Paximathia is sometimes broken into pieces and served in salads after being moistened. Paximathia are in "dakos", which is a Greek salad made on the island of Crete. In Crete, a type of paximathi called a "koulouri" is ring-shaped and served dried with olive oil, oregano and grated tomato. "Eptazymo" is another type of paximathi made with chickpeas.

The Latin word "placenta" comes from the Greek word "plakous" used for thin or layered breads. The word "plakous" comes from the Greek word "plakoeis" () meaning "flat". History. The placenta cake first appears as "plakous" () in the ancient Greek poems of Archestratos who describes it as a dessert served with nuts and dried fruits. Antiphanes in 4th century BC describes "plakous" as a dessert made with wheat flour and goat's cheese. In 160 BC, Cato the Elder wrote a recipe for "placenta" in his "De Agri Cultura" following the Greek recipe for "plakous". Cato possibly copied the recipe from a Greek cookbook. The Byzantine descendants of "plakous" are the "plakountas tetyromenous" ("cheesy placenta") and the "koptoplakous" (Byzantine Greek: κοπτοπλακοῦς) both of which are the ancestors of modern foods like tiropita, börek, banitsa, and baklava. The name "placenta" () is used today on the Greek island of Lesbos to describe a dessert made with thin layers of pastry and crushed nuts that is baked and then covered in honey. The Greek dessert was adopted into Armenian food as "plagindi," "plagunda," and "pghagund" all meaning "cakes of bread and honey."

Pei Haozheng (Chinese: 裴浩正; Pinyin: "Péi Hào Zhèng"; born Nanjing, Jiangsu in 1996), also known as Hotz Pei, is a Chinese origami artist, TV program designer, and the holder of two Guinness World Records. He received his master's degree from the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore in 2021. Pei has designed several origami-themed TV projects and hundreds of lifelike models, promoting the origami art form to a growing audience. His work has a positive nouveau influence on modern origami art because of its cultural value and humanitarian ideal. For instance, his "Zijin Grass" is known to over 100 million people as the "flower of peace" in remembrance of victims. Pei has been a judge or guest on the programs "Super Brain", "Forward to the Future", "Voice", "Day Day Up", and "Power of Youth". His artwork has received many awards such as “China Outstanding Cultural, Social, and Educational Case”, etc., and is collected by many museums, including the Guinness World Records Museum, etc. Origami. Pei started folding paper when he was in kindergarten. At first, he learned origami from teachers and parents, and later he copied the patterns from books. In early 2007, he came across a crease pattern designed by Robert J. Lang, an origami master from the United States. It was mind-blowing for him, and it opened for him a new world of ideas for the art.  He continued to learn origami through theory books, such as "Origami Design Secrets" by Mr. Lang. As the quantity of his work grew, so did its variety and quality. During his middle school education, Pei created several unique designs, including a 60-centimeter-tall work featuring an angel with six wings folded from a 2-meter-long square sheet of paper. It took him numerous attempts to get everything right. In 2016, Pei won a bronze prize at the International Origami Internet Olympiad (IOIO). The next year
Chevalier John Taylor ( 1770 or 1772) was a British eye surgeon and a charlatan (a person who does fake medical practice). He did surgery on Johann Sebastian Bach. Life. Taylor was born in Norwich.

Bach had eye problems in his old age. The problems were probably myopia and cataract. The newspapers at the time said that the first surgery was successful. However, Bach's cataract appeared again after around a week. Taylor did surgery again on him. Bach went blind after the second surgery. The blindness could have been caused by Taylor's surgery. Bach died on 28 July 1750. After Taylor did surgery on Bach, he went to Berlin. He was told to leave on 23 April because of his failed surgeries. It is not known exactly where and when he died. Charles Burney said that he died in 1770 in Rome. Others say he died in Paris. London newspapers and his grandson said that he died in Prague in 1772. Taylor pretended to be a nobleman. He started using the title "chevalier" in 1750, even though he was not a knight. He was eventually made a nobility by Pope Benedict XIV in 1755.

A gentlemen's club is a private social club. These clubs were started in England in the 18th century. They were originally reserved to the British upper class. At the start, they were only for men, women were not allowed. They were all originally gambling clubs. The first clubs (such as White's, Brooks's and Boodle's) had members from the aristocracys. A main activity was gambling, especially gambling at cards. which was illegal outside of members-only establishments. However, there were clubs with other activities. Countries outside Britain also have such clubs. In many cases, they were associated with the British Empire: There are important ones in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. They can also be found in many of the bigger American cities.  Gentlemen's clubs were made so that their members could spend time there, instead of being at home. Such a club typically contains a formal dining room, a bar, a library, a billiards room and one or more rooms for reading, gaming or socializing. Many clubs also have guest rooms and fitness amenities. Some are associated mainly with sports and regularly hold other events such as formal dining.

The Pale-flowered Lily, Turanian fritillary or the Uyghür Aigul "(Fritillaria pallidiflora)" is an Asian species of bulbous flowering plant in the lily family Liliaceae, native to East Turkestan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan.  The Latin specific epithet "pallidiflora" means “pale flowered”. Although the common name frequently used is Siberian fritillary, a misnomer because the species does not grow in the wild in Siberia.
The Steppe buzzard ("Buteo buteo vulpinus") is a bird of prey, very widespread in the Old World. It lives in mostly of most of Central Asia, and other Turanian regions. It breeds as far as the northern Caucacus, northern Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, much of Russia to Altai and south-central Siberia, Tien Shan in China and western Mongolia. "B. b. vulpinus" is a long-distance migrant. It winters largely in much of eastern and southern Africa. Less frequently and often very discontinuously, steppe buzzards winter in the southern peninsulas of Europe, Arabia and southwestern India in addition to some parts of southeastern Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. In the open country favoured on the wintering grounds, steppe buzzards are often seen perched on roadside telephone poles. Within Turkistan it is the National bird of East Turkestan.
Nuclear binding energy is the energy needed to break an atomic nucleus into protons and neutrons. Atoms with higher binding energy are more stable, because you would have to add more energy to break them.  Protons and neutrons are attracted to each other by the "nuclear force". This is a form of the "strong interaction" that acts over a longer distance than usual. Together, protons and neutrons are called "nucleons". The binding energy per nucleon is the binding energy of an atom, divided by its number of protons and neutrons. Iron-56 has the highest binding energy per nucleon. This makes it the most stable isotope of any element. Both smaller and larger atoms may eventually move towards Iron-56 by gaining or losing nucleons. The term "nuclear binding energy" can be confusing. An atom with a higher nuclear binding energy "does not" have more energy stored in its nucleus. Actually, atoms with more binding energy have "less" energy stored inside. Energy from atoms can be released by nuclear fission or nuclear fusion. It can be used in nuclear power or nuclear weapons.
The Wild Bactrian camel ("Camelus ferus") is a critically endangered species of camel living in East Turkestan and southwestern Mongolia. It is closely related to the Bactrian camel ("Camelus bactrianus"). Both are large, double-humped even-toed ungulates native to the steppes of central Asia. Until recently, wild Bactrian camels were thought to have descended from domesticated Bactrian camels that became feral after being released into the wild. However, genetic studies have established it as a separate species that diverged from the Bactrian camel about 1.1 million years ago. Distribution. Currently, only about 1,000 wild Bactrian camels are living in the wild. Most live on the Lop Nur Wild Camel National Nature Reserve near the border with China proper to the East.

A nuptial pad (also known as thumb pad, or nuptial excrescence) is a thick piece of flesh on the front feet of some frogs and salamanders. Only adult male animals have this pad. The nuptial pad is a gland. It is a secondary sex characteristic. The male animals use the nuptual pad to hold on to females when they mate, but it does not make or move sperm itself. Some animals use their nuptial pads to fight each other. Historical background. Austrian biologist Paul Kammerer looked at midwife toads' nuptial pads. He believed in Lamarckian evolution. This means he thought that the male frogs' pads got bigger in their own lifetimes, and then they passed the big pads on to their young after that. But this is not how evolution truly works. Examples. Many amphibian species grow nuptial pads for mating. For example, the rough-skinned newt ("Taricha granulosa") does.
The Hartley mammoth butcher site (also called the Hartley mammoth locality) is an archaeological and paleontological site on the Colorado Plateau in New Mexico. Starting in 2013, bones of two mammoths were excavated by Timothy Rowe, a paleontologist from the University of Texas. The bones were of a young female adult and a calf. Rowe and his fellow researchers used various techniques to study the bones and the site. They found "diagnostic evidence of diverse human activities including systematic, highly patterned bone breakage and secondary bone flake production, pyrogenic residues indicative of a controlled (domestic) fire, and utilization of regional vertebrate microfauna." The same scientists used radiocarbon dating to determine how long ago the animals had lived. They reported that they were from about 37,000 years ago (38,900–36,250 cal BP). This site is important because, if the identification as a site with human activity and the dating are correct, it overturns the idea held by many archaeologists that the first people in the Americas belonged to the Clovis culture, which is dated to about 13,000 years ago.

The Arvanites (: , , ) are a bilingual Greek people speaking both the Greek language and a dialect of the Albanian language called "Arvanitika". They moved from the regions of northern Epirus and central Albania to the Greek peninsula during the Middle Ages. The Arvanites settled as farmers and soldiers ("stradioti") getting land as payment for their work. They were organized into clans called "fares" (), or "sogia" (Arvanitika: σόjτε), and their culture was Byzantine Greek. They fought in the Greek revolution of 1821 against the Ottoman Empire and its allies. The name "Arvanites", or "Arnauts", was also used to describe Greeks from Roumeli, Albanians, Bulgarians and Serbs who all served as bodyguards for royals.  In one of their songs, the Arvanites of Boeotia in central Greece sing of their homeland, Constantinople: "Τρε παμπόρἐ σκούαν ε βάνἐ νἐ Σταμπούλ νἐ βέντἐ τάνἐ" (transliteration: "Tre pampóre skoúan e báne ne Stampoúl ne bénte táne", "Three ships passed and are going to Constantinople to our lands"). According to Maria Michael-Dede, the song proves that the Arvanites are of Greek origin.
