Maria Yuryevna Kirilenko (; born 25 January 1987 in Moscow, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union) is a Russian professional tennis player.
She won her first WTA Tour title in 2005, defeating Anna-Lena Grönefeld 6–3, 6–4 in the China Open.
Kirilenko reached #19, her career-high singles ranking, on the WTA tour in June 2008.

Alberto Contador Velasco (born 6 December 1982 in Madrid) is a Spanish  road racing cyclist for the Astana Team.
He won the 2007 Tour de France riding for the Discovery Channel team.
He also won the 2008 Giro d'Italia riding for Astana.
Contador is very good at climbing mountains.
Contador became a professional in 2003.
In 2004 he started to have headaches.
A few days later, while he was racing, he crashed and went to hospital.
There, doctors found a problem with a blood vessel in his brain.
He needed some dangerous surgery, and needed many months to recover (get better).
In 2005 he was healthy, and rode in his first Tour de France.
He finished in 31st place.
In 2006 his team had some trouble.
A doctor in Spain had given drugs to athletes to help them to win.
Some cyclists on Contador's team had worked with the doctor.
The police wanted to check to see if Contador had taken drugs.
As a result, Contador could not enter the 2006 Tour de France.
Later the police decided that Contador had not taken drugs from the doctor.
The case about the doctor was called the Operación Puerto doping case, and caused many problems in cycling.
Contador had to find a new team.
In January 2007, he joined the Discovery Channel team, and won the famous Paris-Nice race in March.
In the Tour de France, he won the 14th stage, and was second in the race to Michael Rasmussen.
Rasmussen had to leave the race because he had not been honest about where he was training before the race.
Because of this, Contador wore the yellow jersey, meaning he was in first place in the race, from stage 18.
In stage 19, a time trial, he did not lose too much time, and started the last stage with a 23 seconds lead over Cadel Evans in second place.
Evans and Contador finished with the same time, so Contador won the 2007 Tour de France.
The Discovery Channel Team stopped racing at the end of 2007, and Contador joined the Astana Team.
This was the same team he had worked for in 2005, but with a new name and new people managing it.
However, the group running the Tour de France decided that Astana could not join the 2008 Tour de France.
One week before the 2008 Giro d'Italia, the group running it invited the Astana team to join.
The team did not have much time to prepare (get ready), but Contador became the leader of the race on the 15th stage.
He wore the maglia rosa (pink leader's jersey) until the finish in Milan.
This meant that Contador had won his second grand tour.

In many racing sports an athlete will compete (take part) in a time trial.
This is when the athlete races over a course as fast as he can.
In cross country skiing and biathlon competitions, a skier will start every 30 to 60 seconds.
These are called interval starts.
In cycling a time trial (TT) can be a single track race, or an individual time trial on the road.
Time trials are often a part of a stage race, for example the Tour de France.
In a team time trial in cycling, a team of riders will race together.
A group can ride faster than just one rider because riders following the leader are sheltered from the wind.

The markhor (Capra falconeri) is a large goat.
It is found in woodland in Central Asia, Karakoram and the Western Himalayas, this is the National Animal of Pakistan.
Markhor are 65 to 115 centimetres tall at the shoulder.
They usually weigh from 40 to 110 kilograms.
Females are a tan colour with a white underbelly and a pattern of black and white on the legs.
Males are a lighter tan colour with the same white underbelly and pattern on the legs.
Males also have a black face and lots of long white fur on their neck and chest which can grow down to their knees.
Both males and females have corkscrew-shaped horns which can grow up to 160 cm / 64 inches long in males, and up to 25 cm / 10 inches in females.
Markhor live in places 500 to 3500 metres (1,500 to 11,000 feet) high, where they eat grass, leaves.
Markhor often stand on their back legs to reach the top leaves of trees.
Markhor are active (move around more) in the early morning and late afternoon.
Females gather in herds (groups) of up to nine animals.
Males usually live alone.
The markhor is the National animal of Pakistan.
The word "Markhor" is Persian for "Snake Eater".
They live in Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan and India's Kashmir Valley.
In Pakistan, they live in the Chitral, Ghizar and Hunza regions.
There are fewer markhor left because human beings take livestock to eat grass in the places where the markhor lives.
Other people have killed the markhor for its horns.
As of 2012, the IUCN said there were probably 2,500 markhor left in the wild.

Betta is a genus of fish.
The Siamese fighting fish is a fish in this genus.
Some species of betta like the Betta Splendens are very brightly coloured and can be purchased in a local pet store.
Other species of betta are more rare.
The males often express their aggression at other males as well as females by flaring at one another.
They are surface breathers, and breathe air from the surface to make bubble nest which attracts the female for breeding.
Betta fishes are found in little water bodies, full of fallen leaf litter and peat thereby providing lots of hiding places.
There are various species of Betta, most popular being Betta splendens, Betta smaragdina, Betta mahachaiensis, Betta coccina, Betta albimarginata, Betta imbellis, etc.

The structure of the Earth is divided into layers.
These layers are both physically and chemically different.
The Earth has an outer solid layer called the crust, a highly viscous layer called the mantle, a liquid layer that is the outer part of the core, called the outer core, and a solid center called the inner core.
The shape of the earth is an oblate spheroid, because it is slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator.
The boundaries between these layers were discovered by seismographs which showed the way vibrations bounced off the layers during earthquakes.
Between the Earth's crust and the mantle is a boundary called the moho.
It was the first discovery of a major change in the Earth's structure as one goes deeper.
The crust is the outermost layer of the Earth.
It is made of solid rocks.
It is mostly made of the lighter elements, silicon, oxygen, aluminium.
Because of this, it is known as sial (silicon = Si; aluminium = Al) or felsic.
The mantle is the layer of the Earth right below the crust.
It is made mostly of oxygen, silicon and the heavier element magnesium.
It is known as sima (Si for silicon + ma for magnesium) or mafic.
The mantle itself is divided into layers.
The uppermost part of the mantle is solid, and forms the base of the crust.
It is made of the heavy rock peridotite.
The continental and oceanic plates include both the crust proper and this uppermost solid layer of the mantle.
Together this mass makes up the lithosphere.
The lithosphere plates float on the semi-liquid aesthenosphere below.
Upper aesthenosphere: magma
Lower aesthenosphere
The Earth's core is made of solid iron and nickel, and is at about 50006000 °C.
which is about the temperature of the photosphere of the Sun.
Outer core is a liquid layer below the mantle.
Inner core is the very center of the Earth.
A full explanation of these effects is not yet clear.
It seems that the high temperature and pressure cause changes in the crystallization of minerals, so that the composition might be a kind of changing mixture of liquid and crystals.
The moho
The moho, properly called the Mohorovičić discontinuity, is the boundary between the Earth's crust and the mantle.
It was discovered by  Croatian seismologist Andrija Mohorovičić in 1909.
He discovered that seismograms of earthquakes showed two kinds of seismic waves.
There is a shallow slower wave which arrives first, and a deep faster wave which arrives second.
He reasoned that the deeper wave changed speed as it got just below the mantle.
The reason it went faster was that the material of the mantle was different from that of the crust.
Drilling holes
Geologists have been trying to get at the Moho for decades.
During the late 1950s and early 1960s Project Mohole did not get enough support, and was cancelled by the United States Congress in 1967.
Efforts were also made by the Soviet Union.
They reached a depth of  over 15 years, the world's deepest hole, before abandoning the attempt in 1989.
Reaching the discontinuity is still an important scientific target.
One proposal considers a self-descending tungsten capsule.
The idea is that the capsule would be filled with radioactive material.
This would give off enough heat to melt the surrounding rock, and the capsule would be pulled down by gravity.
The Japanese project Chikyū Hakken ("Earth discovery") plans to use a drilling shop to drill down through the thinner ocean crust.
On 6 September 2012 Scientific deep sea drilling vessel Chikyu set a new world record by drilling down and obtaining rock samples from deeper than 2,111 metres below the seafloor off the Shimokita Peninsula of Japan in the northwest Pacific Ocean.
Macquarie Island, off Tasmania, is at the meeting-point of two huge oceanic plates: the Pacific Plate and the Indo-Australian Plate.
The island is made of material pushed up from deep in the Earth's mantle.
It is thought that the green ophiolite rock was formed at the moho, and was brought up by a mid-oceanic ridge.
Now it comes to the surface because the two plates are scrunching together.
It is the only place on Earth where this is happening at present.
There are other places where ophiolite is found, but they were brought up many millions of years ago.
Ophiolites are found in all the major mountain belts of the world.
A provisional designation in astronomy is the naming convention of astronomical objects as soon as they are found.
The provisional designation is usually replaced by a permanent name once a good orbit has been calculated.
With asteroids, so many have been found that many will never be named by the people who found them.
When did the asteroids become minor planets?

A traffic sign or a road sign is a sign put at the side of roads to give information to drivers.
It can direct people driving where to go or what to do.
A road sign is something that gives information by means of a symbol, or in only 1 or 2 words.
Some signs include: give way, stop, keep left, no U-turn, no parking, zebra crossing ahead, and much more.
Traffic signs are very useful.

Hurricane Erika was a Atlantic hurricane that hit extreme northeastern Mexico near the Texas-Tamaulipas border.
It happened on August 16, during the 2003 Atlantic hurricane season.
Erika was the eighth tropical cyclone, fifth tropical storm, and third hurricane of the season that year.
The storm was created from a non-tropical area of low pressure that was tracked for five days before developing in the eastern Gulf of Mexico on August 14.
Under the influence of a high pressure system, Erika moved quickly westward and became stronger under favorable conditions.
A weak surface area of low pressure came apart from a frontal system on August 8.
It was moving southwestward during that time.
On August 9, it created convection  when it was passing underneath a cold-core upper-level low.
As the system rapidly continued westward, a lot of the convection stayed near the center of the upper-level low, preventing development of a closed surface circulation.
On August 13, while located near the northwestern Bahamas, an increase in convection made the upper-level low building downwards to the middle levels of the troposphere, which caused the development of an upper level anticyclone.
On August 14, a closed low-level circulation nearly developed to the east of Key Largo, Florida, but because of the deep convection remaining to the north over the mid-level center, it was weakened.
The mid-level storm continued going westward and it moved across Florida.
After crossing Florida, Hurricane Hunters showed a poor circulation, but with winds higher than tropical storm strength, and the system was designated as Tropical Storm Erika late on August 14 while located 85 miles (135 km) west of Fort Myers.
With well-established outflow and low levels of wind shear, Erika became stronger as the circulation became better defined.
A high pressure system covered over the south-central United States, forcing the storm to move just south of due west at 25 mph (40 km/h).
On August 15, convection were made into bands, and as its winds were turning into hurricane strength, an eye developed within the storm.
The storm quickly weakened over the Sierra Madre Oriental, and Erika was calming down early on August 17.
After entering the Gulf of California on August 18, It led to the formation of a tropical disturbance.
It went to the northwest and weakened on August 20.

A few Buddhists may still exist in Pakistani Kashmir  and a significant community exists in Jammu and Kashmir to the east of the Line of Control.
Mostly Ladakhi and ethnically related to Tibetans (plus a few Indo-Aryan Dards), a rough dividing line between Islamic culture and Buddhist culture can be drawn through Mulbekh and Shergol in the Indus valley (to the east of Kargil) and well to the west of Leh, the Nun Kun massif and Rangdum Buddhist monastery at the head of the Suru river valley (a tributary of the Indus) on the Indian Kashmiri side of the line of control.
The region that is today known as Pakistan once had a large Buddhist population, with the majority of people in Gandhara (present day North Western Pakistan and Eastern Afghanistan) being Buddhist.
Gandhara was largely Mahayana Buddhist, and was also a stronghold of Vajrayana Buddhism.
The Swat Valley, known in antiquity as Uddiyana, was a kingdom tributary to Gandhara.
There are many archaeological sites from the Buddhist era in Swat.
The Buddhist sage Padmasambhava is said to have been born in a village near the present day town of Chakdara in Lower Dir District, which was then a part of Uddiyana.
Padmasambhava is known as Guru Rinpoche in Tibetan and it is he who introduced Vajrayana Buddhism in Tibet.
Most Buddhists in Punjab converted to Hinduism from 600 AD onwards.
Buddhism was the faith practiced by the majority of the population of Sindh up to the Arab conquest by the Umayyad Caliphate in 710 AD.
After the partition of Pakistan and India, the Buddhists fled to India, similar to other faiths like Hindus, Sikhs, and Christians in the Pakistan region.

The Big East Conference is a college sports conference in the United States which sponsors many sports, but does not play football.
The league has its roots in the original Big East Conference, which was founded in 1979 as a basketball-focused league by a group of schools in the Eastern U.S. That league added football in 1991, leading to years of conflict between schools that played top-level football and those that did not.
In July 2013, the original league split along football lines.
The seven schools that did not play FBS (top-level) football—often called the "Catholic 7" because all are run by the Catholic Church—bought the "Big East" name and formed a new Big East.
The FBS schools joined with several new members and stayed in the original Big East structure under the new name of American Athletic Conference (The American).
Although the current Big East was not founded until 2013, it claims the 1979 founding date of the original Big East.
Both the current Big East and The American claim the pre-split history of the old Big East.
The 10 schools that formed the current Big East are private schools.
All of these are also Catholic except for Butler, which was started by Protestants but has never been run by any church.
UConn (Connecticut) became the Big East's first public school in July 2020.
No full member of the Big East has left for another conference.
However, eight associate members have left the Big East in one or more sports, with five entirely leaving the Big East.
Two schools that were associate members in the 2013–14 school year left to join conferences that play the sports that they housed in the Big East.
Five women's lacrosse members left after the 2017–18 school year when the American Athletic Conference, full-time home to three of those schools, started a women's lacrosse league.
Two of these schools, Temple and UConn, stayed in the Big East in field hockey, and UConn returned to the Big East full-time in July 2020.
At the same time, Old Dominion moved its women's lacrosse team from the Big East to The American.
This kept both conferences at six women's lacrosse members, the number needed to ensure that their conference champions would receive places in the NCAA Division I tournament.
ODU is still a Big East member in field hockey.

Egyptian Arabic (Marī مصري) is a dialect of the Arabic language, one of the Semitic branch of the Afro-Asiatic language family.
It came from the people living in the Nile Delta in Lower Egypt around the capital Cairo.
It originates from the spoken Arabic brought to Egypt during the AD 7th-century Muslim conquest of North Africa.
Egyptian Arabic was formed also of Copto-Egyptian language of pre-Islamic Egypt, and other languages such as Italian and French.
Egyptian Arabic is officially recognized as the national language of the Egyptian government.
More than 76 million people in Egypt speak Egyptian Arabic.
Also, many people in the Middle East can understand it.
Wenedyk (in English: Venedic) is a made-up language.
Jan van Steenbergen, a linguist and translator from the Netherlands, made it in 2002.
The idea behind it is this: what would have happened if the Polish language had developed from Latin instead of Old Slavic?
Wenedyk is a possible answer to that question.
It is a Romance language, so almost all words are family of words in French, Italian, Romanian, and so on.
But they look very different and much more like Polish.
The rules for spelling and pronunciation are completely based on Polish.
Other parts of the language, like grammar and sentence structure, are a mixture of Polish and Romance.
Together with other made-up languages like Brithenig (which does the same thing with Welsh), Wenedyk is part of the group of so-called "alternative languages", languages that could have existed if history had been different.
With Brithenig, it is the best known example of this sort of languages.
Wenedyk became known in Poland after it was written about on the Internet and in the monthly paper Wiedza i Życie ("Knowledge and Life").
Wenedyk is used in Ill Bethisad, a made-up world in which the Roman Empire was stronger than in real history.
It is the most important language of the Republic of the Two Crowns, a country similar to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, but not broken up by partitions like Poland was.
Spelling and pronunciation
A Ą B C Ć D E Ę F G H I J K L Ł M N Ń O Ó P R S Ś T U W Y Z Ź Ż
Ch Cz Dz Dź Dż Rz Sz
Wenedyk is pronounced just like Polish.
Stress almost always falls on the second-last syllable.
A preposition and a pronoun are treated as one word, so when the pronoun has only one syllable, the preposition is stressed.
Wenedyk does not have articles, words like "a" and "the".
This is an important difference with the other Romance languages and also with made-up languages like Esperanto and Ido.
The reason is that Polish and most other Slavic languages do not have those words, and even in Vulgar Latin they were not so strong yet.
Words in Wenedyk can have many forms.
English words have only a few (cat, cat's, cats; work, working, works, worked), but in Wenedyk a lot of forms exist where English would have used other words, like prepositions or modal verbs.
In the case of nouns, pronouns and adjectives these forms are called "cases".
Wenedyk has three cases:
the direct case: used for both the subject and the direct object of a sentence.
In the sentence: Miej poterz leże libier "My father reads a book", Miej poterz "my father" and libier "a book" are both in the direct case.
the genitive: used when English uses 's or of, for example: siedź potrze "my father's chair", rzejna Anglie "the queen of England".
the dative: used when English uses (or can use) to, for example: Da mi ił libier "Give me that book", Da mi łu "Give it to me".
Wenedyk also has a vocative (used for calling someone).
Often it has the same form as the direct case, but not always: O potrze! "
Oh father!"
There are three genders and four declensions (different ways of making forms).
They are very much like the declensions in Latin:
the first declension are all words on -a, almost all of them are feminine;
the second declension are mostly masculine and neuter words ending with a consonant.
It is a mixture of the second and fourth declension in Latin;
the third declension are mostly feminine words ending with a soft consonant;
the fourth declension are words on -ej, it matches the Latin fifth declension.
Verbs have a lot of forms, too.
Every pronoun has its own form:
jemu – I love
jemasz – you love
jema – he/she loves
jemamy – we love
jemacie – you love
jemą – they love
jemar – to love
jemu – I love, I am loving
jemawa – I loved
jemie – I have loved
joru jemar – I will love, I will be loving
