Uranium ore deposits are concentrations of uranium in the Earth's crust, which can be mined for profit. Uranium is very common, being 40 times more common than silver. Uranium ore refers to naturally occurring rock or mineral deposits that contain a sufficient concentration of uranium to make its extraction economically viable. Uranium is a relatively rare element and is typically found in trace amounts in the Earth’s crust. Uranium ore can be mined from open pits or underground excavations and can then be crushed and treated at a mill to separate the valuable uranium from the ore. Uraninite is a major ore mineral of uranium and is the chief source of uranium.

Kyawthuite is a rare mineral with the chemical formula BiSbO4, known to be a natural form of bismuth antimonate. It’s notable for being the rarest mineral on Earth, with only one crystal ever found, located in the Mogok region of Myanmar. This unique crystal was discovered in 2010 and weighs just 0.3 grams. Properties. Kyawthuite is a transparent reddish-orange mineral that is monoclinic, meaning it has a crystal structure belonging to the monoclinic crystal system. It is isostructural with clinocervantite, which means it has the same structure as clinocervantite but with different chemistry, specifically as an antimony-analogue of clinobisvanite . Its rarity and unique properties make it a subject of interest among mineralogists and gem collectors. Kyawthuite is described as a deep-orange jewel with a hardness of 5 ½ on the Mohs scale, which measures the scratch resistance of various minerals. It has a specific gravity of 8.256, indicating it is quite dense, and an adamantine luster, which refers to its brilliant shine and high refractive index ranging from 1.9 to 2.5. The crystal is small, weighing only 1.61 karats. Its color can range from deep red to reddish-brown, and it forms as tiny, isolated crystals with intricate structures. How it forms. The exact geological conditions for the formation of Kyawthuite are not fully understood. However, it is believed to form in pegmatite deposits, which are igneous rocks formed from the cooling and crystallization of highly concentrated molten rock. Pegmatites are known for containing rare minerals and crystals, which aligns with the rarity of Kyawthuite. Crystal structure. Kyawthuite has a monoclinic crystal structure, which means it belongs to a category of crystals that are described by three unequal axes with one of them being oblique. Specifically, it has the space group I2/c, and it is isostructural with clinocervantite. Being isostructural means that Kyawthuite shares the same crystal structure

Kosmoceratops was a ceratopsid dinosaur that lived in North America about 76–75.9 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous period. It had distinctive bison-like horns over its eyes, a smaller horn on its nose, and unique hooked spikes on its frill. It was about the size of a cow and was herbivorous, eating plants with its sharp beak. Discovery. Fossils of Kosmoceratops were discovered in rocks of the Kaiparowits Formation in Southern Utah, which dates back to the Late Cretaceous period, about 76.4–75.5 million years ago. This area was part of a basin created by the Western Interior Seaway. The discovery of Kosmoceratops is significant because it deposed Styracosaurus as the world’s most ornately decorated dinosaur, which could potentially change our understanding of dinosaur horns and their functions. Unique features. Kosmoceratops had several unique features that distinguished it from other dinosaurs: These characteristics made Kosmoceratops one of the most ornately decorated dinosaurs known.  Herds. While there is no direct evidence of Kosmoceratops living in herds, it is known that ceratopsians, the group of dinosaurs to which Kosmoceratops belongs, exhibited social behavior and likely lived in groups. The elaborate frills and horns of Kosmoceratops may have been used for species recognition or sexual selection, suggesting that they interacted socially. Defence. Kosmoceratops likely used its ornate skull, which included numerous horns and horn-like structures, as a defense mechanism against predators. The fifteen well-developed horns and horn-like structures on its frill could have been used to intimidate predators or protect itself during confrontations.
Velchanos properly Welchanos (), Gelchanos (), or Elchanos (), is an ancient Minoan god associated with vegetation, worshipped in Crete. He was one of the main deities in the Minoan pantheon and later became conflated with the Greek god Zeus. Influence. The cult of Velchanos influenced the cult of Zeus in Mycenaean Greece after contact with the Minoans. Zeus was at times referred to as Zeus Velchanos. There are also suggestions of influence on the Roman deity Vulcan. Origins. In Minoan religion, Velchanos was a god associated with vegetation and was worshipped in Crete. His worship was part of a broader religious context that included rituals, sacred spaces, and other deities representing natural phenomena. The Minoans’ religious beliefs were richly depicted in their art, with symbols such as the snake, dove, and double axe. During the Mycenaean period, Velchanos captured the attention of the Mycenaeans, leading to religious syncretism where they identified their own god Zeus with Velchanos. This syncretism had a lasting impact on Greek mythology Worship. The worship practices of Velchanos in Minoan religion are largely reconstructed from archaeological evidence, as there are no readable texts from the period. Artifacts such as paintings, statuettes, vessels for rituals, and seals and rings provide insights into how Velchanos was venerated. These items often depict symbols and scenes associated with the deity, suggesting that rituals and ceremonies were an integral part of his worship. Prominent Minoan sacred symbols include the bull, horns of consecration, labrys double-headed axe, and possibly the serpent. These symbols are believed to be connected to Velchanos and other deities in the Minoan pantheon. The bull symbolizes strength and fertility, while the horns of consecration may represent sacred power. The labrys, a double-headed axe, is a symbol of authority and ritual sacrifice.

His early education was completed at the Royal Belfast Academical Institution, where he had a huge interest in outdoor activities and physical fitness. This foundation would later prove useful in his military career. Military career. Courtney joined the British Army in the late 1920s and was initially commissioned into the Royal Tank Regiment. His early military career was marked by a series of assignments that highlighted his leadership abilities and innovative thinking. However, it was his involvement in the development of unconventional warfare tactics during World War II that brought him significant recognition. Special Boat Section. In 1940, with the onset of World War II, Courtney proposed the idea of a small, elite force capable of carrying out reconnaissance and sabotage missions behind enemy lines. His vision led to the formation of the Special Boat Section (SBS), an elite unit within the Royal Marines. Previously composed of volunteers, the SBS conducted clandestine operations, often using kayaks to infiltrate enemy-held territory. Courtney's leadership and daring were exemplified in numerous operations, including The raid on the island of Kastellorizo in 1941. This operation, aimed at disrupting Axis communications in the Aegean Sea, showcased the effectiveness of small, specialized units operating with speed and stealth. Courtney's innovative tactics and the success of these missions established the SBS as a crucial component of British special operations. Post-war contributions. After World War II, Courtney continued to serve in various capacities within the British military, focusing on training and the development of special forces doctrine. He was instrumental in the post-war restructuring of British special operations, ensuring that the lessons learned during the war were integrated into future military planning. Retirement and later life. Courtney retired from active service in the early 1950s but remained a respected figure in military circles. He authored several works on military tactics and special operations, sharing his extensive knowledge and experience with future generations of soldiers. His contributions to the development of special forces were formally recognized when he was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE). Death and legacy.

Silverstoneia dalyi is a frog. It lives in Colombia, in Chocó, near the Río San Juan. Body. The adult male frog is 14.9 - 17.9 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 15.9 - 19.0 mm long. The skin of the frog's back can be different colors depending on where the frog lives. Frogs from Quebrada Docordó have brown backs and frogs from Playa de Oro have gray-brown skin. The sides of the frog's body are black in color with a stripe in it. The stripe can be orange. There is color on the sides of the body that shows when the frog jumps. Scientists call this flash colors. Another stripe goes over each shoulder. This stripe is bronze-white in color. There is a dark brown stripe on each leg. The legs are orange in color. Human beings can see through its skin to the orange muscle underneath. There is a dark brown spot behind each side of the mouth. The belly is white or gray in color. Home. This frog lives in rainforests. It lives near streams. People have seen this frog between 100 and 250 meters above sea level. This frog moves around during the day and sleeps at night. Young. The female frog lays eggs on the ground. After the eggs hatch, the male frog carries the tadpoles to streams. People have seen male frogs with six tadpoles on their backs at the same time. Danger. Scientists believe this frog is in danger of dying out because it lives in a small place and because people change that place in ways that make it harder for the frog to live there. People cut down the forest where the frog lives to get wood to build with and make farms for plants that are against the law. People also dig good rocks out of the ground nearby.
