Great spotted woodpecker

The **great spotted woodpecker** (_Dendrocopos major_) is a medium-sized woodpecker with black and white plumage and a red patch on the lower belly. Males and young birds also have red markings on the neck or head.

This species is found across Eurasia and parts of North Africa. It is usually resident, but in the North, some migrate if the conifer cone crop fails.

Some individuals have recolonized Ireland, and some have reached North America. Great-spotted woodpeckers chisel into trees to find food, excavate nest holes, and drum for contact and territorial advertisement. They have anatomical adaptations to manage the physical stresses from the hammering.

The bird occurs in all types of woodlands and eats a wide range of food. It gets seeds out of pine cones, insect larvae from inside trees, and chicks of other birds from their nests. It breeds in holes excavated in living or dead trees, unlined apart from wood chips. When the young fledge they are fed by the adults for about ten days.
Ferrous metal recycling

Metals containing iron are recycled, so the iron can be used again. Steel is the metal recycled the most. One way iron is recycled is by adding carbon, which can make steel.

## Description

Steel containers, cans, cars, appliances, and building materials are the most recycled things in the United States. In 2008, 97% of the amount of steel used to build things was recycled. More than the amount of steel used to make cars was recycled. Most appliances are about 75% steel.

Iron is recycled because it costs less to recycle it than to mine iron and make it usable.
Armistice of Villafranca

The **armistice** and **preliminaries of Villafranca** were signed on 11 July 1859 in Villafranca di Verona, in Veneto, by France and Austria. It put an end to the Austro-Franco-Sardinian War, which is called in Italy the Second Italian War of Independence.

After the difficult Battles of Magenta (4 June) and Solferino (24 June), French Emperor Napoleon III, without consulting his Sardinian ally, Camillo Benso, Count of Cavour, proposed the armistice on 8 July and had an interview on 11 July with Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I. Although victorious, Napoleon III was frightened by the losses (nearly 40,000 killed or wounded at Solferino) and by the idea of having to continue an autumn and winter campaign against the entrenched Austrians. Also, the government and Empress Eugénie send him alarming information about the poor state of French opinion. In particular, the Catholics, who had supported the imperial regime, now feared for the Papal States and the Pope's independence if Austria was eliminated from Italy. Finally, anti-French feeling was spreading in Prussia, which supported the Austrians. The number of Prussian deaths is nearly 400 000 soldiers near the Rhine, stripped of French troops.

In , it is agreed for Austria to cede Lombardy (except Mantua and Peschiera) to France, which would restore it to the Kingdom of Sardinia. An Italian confederation under the presidency of Pope Pius IX was created, and Veneto, under Austrian sovereignty, being part of it. The Dukes of Modena, Parma, and Tuscany, who jhad been driven away by revolutions, had their thrones returned.

Cavour, who had not been consulted, resigned on 10 July, and King Victor-Emmanuel II gave his agreement "in a personal capacity" and thus leaving the door open to any governmental nullification.

The preliminaries were confirmed by the Treaty of Zurich of 11 November 1859.

Neoplasm

A **neoplasm** is tissue that is growing where it should not be. If they become a mass, they become a **tumour**. Tumours are either malignant (harmful) or benign (safe).  Cancer, for example is malignant and sometimes spreads to other places on the body. Some tumours have a cause that makes them grow. For some tumours no cause is known. A tumour usually forms as a lump or mass.

Tumours can occur in humans and animals. In humans, tumors can occur because the genetic code of cells is modified too much, causing affected cells to divide and expand uncontrollably. The Tasmanian Devils in Tasmania, Australia are in danger of becoming extinct because of a malignant tumour that grows on their face.
