Sole is a flatfish belonging to several families. Generally speaking, they are members of the family Soleidae. Outside Europe, the name "sole" is also given to various other similar flatfish, especially other members of the sole suborder Soleoidei as well as members of the flounder family, the Pleuronectidae.  In European cookery, the common or Dover sole "Solea solea", is often simply called "the sole". It is the most widely available, and often thought to be the best.
The Pleuronectidae are a family of flatfish that are widely known as righteye flounders. The reason why they're called like that is because most species lie on the seabed on their left sides, with both eyes on their right sides. Only a few species can also have their eyes on the left side. Females lay eggs that float in mid-water until the larvae develop, and they sink to the bottom. They are found on the bottoms of oceans around the world. The name of the family is derived from the Greek πλευρά ("pleura"), meaning "rib" or "side", and νηκτόν ("nekton"), meaning "swimming".
The Highland cattle (; ) is a Scottish cattle breed. They have long horns and long, wavy, woolly coats. The long oily outer hair covers a downy undercoat. This makes them well suited to conditions in the Highlands, which have a high annual rainfall and sometimes very strong winds. Highlands are raised primarily for their meat. They originated in the Scottish Highlands and the Outer Hebrides. They were first mentioned in the 6th century AD. They have since been exported worldwide. They are a hardy breed. Their long hair gives them the ability to overwinter in the valleys. Bulls can weigh up to 800 kilograms (1,800 pounds) and cows can up to 500 kilograms (1,100 pounds). Their milk generally has a high butterfat content. Their meat, which is of the highest quality, is lower in cholesterol than other varieties of beef.
The phlogiston theory is an old scientific theory that was used to explain fire and combustion before modern chemistry and the discovery of oxygen. The concept was put forward in 1667 by Johann Joachim Becher, and many varieties of phlogiston theory were proposed by other 17th- and 18th-century chemists. The theory put forward the belief that there was a fire-like element called phlogiston inside fuel which escaped when it burned, leaving behind a solid called calx. For a lot of solid fuels like coal, the ash after combustion weighs less than the fuel before, so this seemed logical from the information they had at the time. Antoine Lavoisier was a major critic of the phlogiston theory. Careful experiments that measured the masses of gasses showed that the phlogiston theory was wrong. This led to the discovery of oxygen. However, some scientists continued to believe in phlogiston, and continued to add more complexity to the theory to address the new discoveries. The explanations of phlogiston theorists began to contradict each other, which accelerated the decline of the theory even among scientists who supported it.

Unbitrium (), also known as eka-protactinium or element 123, is the possible chemical element in the periodic table that has the temporary symbol Ubt and has the atomic number 123. Calculations have shown that 326Ubt would be the most stable isotope. The closed neutron shells say that 307Ubt and 319Ubt would be the most stable isotopes.  As of February 2021, no attempt has ever been made to make element 123. Naming. The name unbitrium is a systematic element name, used as a placeholder until it is confirmed by other research groups and the IUPAC decides on a name. Usually, the name suggested by the discoverer(s) is chosen. Synthesis. This reaction would create 307Ubt, which is expected to be relatively stable.  + → + 3 n  Fictional reference to element 123. In the fictional universe of "", this element was seemingly discovered and named. The episode "Rascals" depicted a "trans-periodic table," in a schoolroom set, which depicted element number 123 as being named jamesium, symbol Rj, having an atomic weight of 326. The graphic was created by set artists, probably a homage to designer Richard D. James, and listed this element in the fictional "gamma series." In the third episode of season one of the television series "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." element 123 is depicted 24 minutes in as the element Gravitonium, atomic weight 308
Unbipentium is a hypothetical (theoretical or imagined) element of the periodic table. It is also known as eka-neptunium. The atomic number of this element is 125. It has the symbol Ubp.

It is the sixth element in the eighth period of the periodic table. The synthesis of unbipentium was first attempted in 1977 by bombarding a target of Americium-238 with zinc-65 ions at the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research in Darmstadt, Germany: No atoms were identified.
Romanization of Greek is a way to write the Greek language (either Ancient or Modern Greek) with the Roman alphabet. That can be done by mapping either letters (called transliteration) or sounds (called transcription. The Greek name Ἰωάννης can be transliterated as "Johannes", which became John in Modern English. In Modern Greek, it is generally written Γιάννης, which transliterates to "Yannis". The masculine Greek word Ἅγιος or Άγιος might variously appear as "Hagiοs", "Agios", "Aghios" or "Ayios", or it might simply be translated as "Holy" or "Saint" in English forms of Greek placenames. Traditional English renderings of Greek names originated from Roman systems that were established in antiquity. The Roman alphabet was a form of the Cumaean alphabet, which was itself developed from the Euboean script, which used as , as , and variant forms of and that later became L and S. When the Euboean script was used to write the classical Greek alphabet, ⟨κ⟩ was replaced with ⟨c⟩, ⟨αι⟩ and ⟨οι⟩ became ⟨æ⟩ and ⟨œ⟩, and ⟨ει⟩ and ⟨ου⟩ were simplified to ⟨i⟩ (more rarely, corresponding to an earlier pronunciation, to ⟨e⟩) and ⟨u⟩. Aspirated consonants like ⟨θ⟩, ⟨φ⟩, initial-⟨ρ⟩, and ⟨χ⟩ simply wrote out the sound: ⟨th⟩, ⟨ph⟩, ⟨rh⟩, and ⟨ch⟩. Because English orthography has changed so much from the original Greek, modern scholarly transliteration now usually renders ⟨κ⟩ as ⟨k⟩ and the diphthongs ⟨αι, οι, ει, ου⟩ as ⟨ai, oi, ei, ou⟩. Modern scholars also increasingly render ⟨χ⟩ as ⟨kh⟩. Greek sounds greatly changed, and Modern Greek sounds quite different from Ancient Greek. That also has had an influence on the terms used in English and

Zyklon B was the trade name of a pesticide invented in Germany in the early 1920s. It contains hydrogen cyanide as well as other chemicals.  The product was used in Nazi Germany in gas chambers to kill Jews as part of the Holocaust, such as at Auschwitz and other extermination camps. Hydrogen cyanide, present in Zyklon B, is a poisonous gas that interferes with respiration in cells. The cyanide ion stops the cell from making ATP by binding into a protein involved in the reaction. History. Hydrogen cyanide had been discovered in the late 18th century and was usually used in California for the fumigation of citrus trees. In 1919, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Schädlingsbekämpfung mbH (Degesch) was founded in Germany. This was a state-controlled group to investigate military uses of the chemical. The new product was marketed as a pesticide, Zyklon, but was soon banned as being similar to a mixture used in World War I as a weapon. Zyklon B was recreated by Degesch, after Degesch came under new management, and eventually after achieving a patent, Walter Heerdt was named as its inventor. It was used at U.S Customs facilities along the Mexican border to fumigate the clothes of border crossers.
