This lush delta is prone to heavy flooding and is mostly uncultivated wilderness. Rivers that flow from the Sulaiman mountain system include the Dori River and the Gomal River.

Associative property is a property of mathematical operations (like addition and multiplication). It means that if you have more than one of the same associative operator (like +) in a row, the order of operations does not matter. For example, if you have formula_1, there are two plus signs (+) in a row. This means we can add it in either this order:  formula_2 Or this order:  formula_3 The answer comes out the same both ways because addition is associative. In other words, associativity means:  formula_4 Not all operations are associative. Subtraction is not associative, which means:  formula_5 This is true because:  formula_6  formula_7 And:  formula_8 Also, associativity is different from commutativity, which lets you move the numbers around.

Their prey includes many vertebrates, such as amphibians, reptiles, small birds and mammals- they even hunt other bat species. Insects are also included, especially large crickets, cicadas etc. Surprisingly, a small amount of fruit is also eaten. When hunting, this species is extremely stealthy.

One young or pup is produced each year, and the mother is very attentive and gentle with her offspring. The male is always in attendance too and will frequently sleep with both mother and young completely wrapped in his wings.

With the fall of the Nazi regime in 1945, the "Horst-Wessel-Lied" was banned, and both the lyrics and the tune remain illegal in Germany and Austria to this day except for educational and scholarly uses (under sections 86 and 86a of the "Strafgesetzbuch").
