Vegetation is extremely sparse in Ladakh except along streambeds and wetlands, on high slopes, and in irrigated places.
The first European to study the wildlife of this region was Ferdinand Stoliczka, an Austrian-Czech palaeontologist, who carried out a massive expedition there in the 1870s.
The fauna of Ladakh has much in common with that of Central Asia in general and that of the Tibetan Plateau in particular.[citation needed]Exceptions to this are the birds, many of which migrate from the warmer parts of India to spend the summer in Ladakh.
For such an arid area, Ladakh has a great diversity of birds — a total of 225 species have been recorded.
Many species of finches, robins, redstarts (like the black redstart), and the hoopoe are common in summer.[citation needed] The brown-headed gull is seen in summer on the river Indus and on some lakes of the Changthang.
Resident water-birds include the brahminy duck also known as the ruddy sheldrake and the bar-headed goose.
The black-necked crane, a rare species found scattered in the Tibetan plateau, is also found in parts of Ladakh.
Other birds include the raven, Eurasian magpie, red-billed chough, Tibetan snowcock, and chukar.
The lammergeier and the golden eagle are common raptors here specially in Changthang region.
At the Partition of India in 1949, the territory (then called Jammu and Kashmir) was split between India and Pakistan.
India lost part of it to China as result of the Sino-Indian War, of 1962.
Population 102,000 in Jammu and Kashmir (1997).
Population includes 29,800 to 33,300 Shamma (Voegelin and Voegelin 1977.328).
Population total all countries: 114,000.

A sunspot is an area of high magnetic activity, on the surface of the Sun.
Sunspots produce bright light, but not as much as the surface around them, so they appear dark by comparison.
They are cooler than the rest of the sun.
Some are small, and some are ten times bigger than Earth.
A sunspot cycle of eleven years has been found, with changes in activity.
Every 11 years the number of sunspots increases, and later declines.
Sunspots on one cycle are magnetically different from the next, so the total sunspot cycle is 22 years.
This cycle has been seen since the 18th century.
Before that time, for over a hundred years, there were very few sunspots.
Astronomers do not know what caused this "Maunder Minimum".
Chinese astronomers said they could see sunspots.
On 17 March 802 the monk Adelmus saw a big sunspot, which he could see for eight days.
Adelmus thought that Mercury was going in front of the Sun and making a black spot.
When astronomers started using telescopes, most agreed that something was passing in front of the Sun.
Galileo Galilei in 1612 guessed that there were actual spots on the Sun and that they showed that the Sun was turning.
The first cyclic changes of sunspots was seen by Heinrich Schwabe, and made Rudolf Wolf study them carefully, starting in 1848.
Also in 1848, Joseph Henry showed a picture of the Sun and made sure that sunspots were cooler than the rest of the Sun (they are about 7000 degrees Fahrenheit, 4000 C).
They are still very hot, but much cooler than the rest of the Sun's surface.
Effect on Earth
Sunspots are cooler than the rest of the Sun.
But many scientists think that when there are many sunspots, the Sun actually gets hotter.
This affects the weather here on Earth, and also radio reception.
If this is true, then without sunspots, the Earth might become cooler.
In the same way, if there were more sunspots, the Earth might become hotter, and there could be less rain.
This would make more droughts on the Earth.
Droughts are a long time with no rain.
Without rain, crops that people eat would not grow.
Scientists study sunspots and other solar phenomena, so they can know what they do to Earth.
The temperature of a sunspot is 4780°K.
This is cold when compared to other areas on the surface of sun.

A crystal radio, sometimes called a crystal set, is a very simple AM (or rarely FM) radio receiver, that does not need batteries to work.
A long wire antenna gathers enough of the radio signals from nearby transmitters to power a crystal diode, which demodulates the signals, and plays them as sound through an earphone or small headset.
Crystal radios have come and gone many times in history.
They were built in the early days of radio broadcasting by amateurs, and people who could not afford a well-made radio.
They became popular again during the Great Depression, when money was scarce.
During World War II, American soldiers built "foxhole radios" that used a razor blade and pencil point instead of a crystal. (
German and Italian troops had equipment to detect normal superheterodyne radio receivers working, so an alternate choice was a wise one.)
After the war ended, amateurs built more crystal sets, and children began to make them as science and hobby projects.
Later during the Vietnam War prisoners of war again built simple radios, and soldiers used Slinky springs as antennas.

The Bengali Language Movement (also called the Language Movement) were protests by people living in Bangladesh, which was part of Pakistan during that time.
The people living in Bangladesh  started protesting because they did not like that the government of Pakistan made Urdu the official language, which they did not speak.
The government responded to the protests by making meetings outside illegally .
At the height of the movement on 21 February 1952, police killed students that were protesting.
The Shaheed Minar was a monument built to honor these students.
Bengali did become an official language on 29 February 1956.
This day is celebrated by Bangladesh as Language Movement Day.
The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom was a rally held on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. on 28 August 1963.
It was where Martin Luther King, Jr gave his famous I Have a Dream speech.
After the march, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the National Voting Rights Act of 1965 were passed.
There were over 200,000 people there, both black and white.
Organization and planning
The march was first planned by A. Philip Randolph, who was the president of the Negro American Labor Council, and vice president of the AFL-CIO.
He had planned another civil rights march in 1941, but it never happened.
However, the threat of the march was a big reason why President Roosevelt wrote Executive Order 8802.
This forced equal opportunity in the defense industry, which meant that all workers had to be treated the same, no matter what their race was.
Other leaders of civil rights movement helped Randolph plan the march and spread the word to their members.
Some of the most important were James Farmer, (president of the Congress of Racial Equality), John Lewis (president of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee), Martin Luther King, Jr. (president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference), Roy Wilkins (president of the NAACP), and Whitney Young (president of the National Urban League)..
Many people were worried for the marchers' safety.
Black nationalist leader Malcolm X sent an open telegram to George Lincoln Rockwell, the leader of the Nazi Party in the United States.
Malcolm wrote:
The Washington DC Police department looked for black police officers from around the country to protect King during the march and speeches.
They thought the presence of black officers would be more calming if trouble broke out.

A doll is a child's toy that looks like a baby or other human being.
Dolls have been around since the beginning of human civilization, and have been made from many different types of materials, like stone, clay, wood, bone, cloth and paper, to porcelain, china, rubber and plastic.
While dolls are usually for children, they are also collected by adults, for remembering things from the past, their beauty, their historical importance or their financial value (being worth money).
In ancient times, dolls were used as symbols of a deity (god), and played an important role in religious ceremonies and rituals.
Lifelike or anatomically correct dolls are used by health professionals, medical schools, and social workers to train doctors and nurses in different health procedures or to find out about cases of sexual abuse of children.
Artists sometimes use jointed mannequins or ball-jointed dolls in drawing the human body.
Action figures are types of dolls that represent superheroes and military people are particularly popular among boys.
There are baby dolls, paper dolls, rag dolls, talking dolls, fashion dolls and many others.
Theodore Robert Rufus Long (born September 15, 1947) is an American former professional wrestling referee and manager.
He is best known for his long time with the WWE where he served as the General Manager of SmackDown!
National Wrestling Alliance/World Championship Wrestling
Long started out as an errand boy for wrestlers Tommy Rich and Abdullah the Butcher.
He eventually became a member of the ringcrew and was promoted to referee in the NWA's Jim Crockett Promotions in 1985 as Teddy Long.
In 1989, Long began a heel turn when he started to bend the rules for the heels.
At the Chi-Town Rumble event, Teddy Long ran in and counted three, making Ricky Steamboat the NWA World Champion.
On April 2, 1989 at the Clash of Champions in New Orleans, Long blatantly made a fast count allowing Mike Rotunda & "Dr. Death" Steve Williams to defeat the Road Warriors for the NWA World Tag Team Championship.
After this match, the National Wrestling Alliance relieved Long of his refereeing duties.
This was actually a story lifted from Championship Wrestling from Florida, where Teddy had been a referee and did several heel-decisions in the ring, including one for Ron Simmons over Sweet Brown Sugar.
Teddy was fired as a referee and became a talent scout/manager.
Long became the manager of "Doom" (Ron Simmons and Butch Reed) and led them to the World Tag Team Titles.
He also managed Chris Jericho, Johnny B. Badd, One Man Gang, Norman the Lunatic, "The Skyscrapers" (Sid Vicious, Dan Spivey & Mark Callaway), Marcus Bagwell, 2 Cold Scorpio, Joey Maggs, Craig Pittman, Jim Powers, Bobby Walker, Ice Train and Bobby Eaton while in Jim Crockett Promotions and WCW.
World Wrestling Federation/World Wrestling Entertainment
He was re-packaged as a manager and perhaps his most notable managing stint in this period came when managing D'Lo Brown, Rodney Mack, Christopher Nowinski, Rosey, Mark Henry and Jazz at different times, telling fans to get "Down wit' da Brown" and to "Back da Mack."
He played a stereotypical "held-down" minority, using ebonics (such as, "Don't be drinkin' that Hate-orade."
and "You know I'd look good on the dolla dolla bill.")
His stable would be referred to by fans as "Thuggin' & Buggin' Enterprises."
When he was drafted to SmackDown!,
he managed his second white wrestler, Mark Jindrak.
After Kurt Angle was fired from the General Manager position in July 2004, Long became the new and first African-American General Manager of SmackDown!.
Unlike other WWE managers, such as Eric Bischoff and Mr. McMahon, his new position saw him as a face, giving the fans what they wanted and making matches that put heels at disadvantages, notably John "Bradshaw" Layfield (JBL).
At first, he continued use of his "Hate-orade" talk, but less aggressively, and with humor.
One example was when he stripped Booker T of the US Championship for "drinkin' Hate-orade."
As part of the RAW vs. SmackDown!
feud, Long defeated then RAW GM Eric Bischoff at Survivor Series 2005 with the help of The Boogeyman.
However, Theodore Long still had problems with Booker T and his defense of the United States title.
Booker T attempted to get out of title defenses on a number of occasions by pretending to be injured, and having other wrestlers fight on his behalf.
Eventually, Long got tired of these shenanigans, and at No Way Out 2006, Booker was told to face Chris Benoit or be stripped of the US title.
Benoit won the match and was congratulated by Theodore Long.
After Randy Orton had cheated to obtain Rey Mysterio's title shot at WrestleMania 22, Long placed Mysterio back in the match and made it a Triple Threat Match, at the same time warning Orton that he could still remove Orton from the match if he disobeyed Long.
At Judgment Day 2006 Long fired Melina & Johnny Nitro from SmackDown!.
On the following SmackDown!,
JBL suffered the same fate after losing the United States Championship to Bobby Lashley, and then losing a World Heavyweight Championship to Rey Mysterio in his Judgment Day rematch.
On the September 4, 2006 episode of RAW, Long appeared to a tremendous ovation in his hometown.
During a six-person, intergender tag match between Randy Orton, Edge, and Lita against Trish Stratus, Carlito, and John Cena, some fans chanted Theodore's name.
In April 2007, Long became the on-screen boyfriend of Kristal, after weeks flirting with each other backstage.
Long then began to look for an assistant so he could spend more time with Kristal, eventually revealing Vickie Guerrero as his new assistant on May 25, 2007, an appointment made partly at Kristal's request.
On the June 22, 2007 episode of SmackDown!,
Long asked Kristal to marry him.
Kristal ran out of the ring, crying, but later agreed to (kayfabe) marry him.
On the July 27, 2007 edition of Smackdown!,
Ron Simmons was named the best man for "Theodore Rufus Long" and Kristal's wedding on the September 21, 2007 edition of SmackDown!
emanating from Long's hometown of Atlanta, Georgia.
However, the wedding was not completed due to constant disruptions and Long  having a (kayfabe) heart attack just as he started to say "I do".
He then fell in to a (kayfabe) coma.
Long returned on the November 30, 2007 edition of SmackDown!
as the Assistant General Manager and made a match at Armageddon for the World Heavyweight Championship In September 2007, Long was demoted from General Manager of SmackDown!,
to Assistant General Manager, while Vickie Guerrero moved into the General Manager position by Mr. McMahon stating "The Show must go on".
On May 16, 2008, Long quit his role of Assistant General Manager after months of abuse by GM Guerrero who treated Teddy "as a personal servant rather than the Assistant General Manager of SmackDown!"
in Teddy's words.
On the June 3, 2008 edition of ECW, it was announced that Long had become the new General Manager of the ECW brand by order of the WWE Board of Directors.

At No Mercy 2004, he put JBL and The Undertaker in a Last Ride Match.
The rules are similar to a Casket Match and an Ambulance Match where one opponent must put the other into the back of the hearse and drive out the arena.
JBL won the first Last Ride Match due to interference by Heidenreich.
At Armageddon 2006, The Undertaker defeated Mr. Kennedy in the second Last Ride Match.
At No Way Out 2005, JBL had to defend his title against Big Show in the first ever Barbed Wire Steel Cage Match.
The rules were the same as a normal steel cage match, but the top of the cage had barbed wire around it so nobody could escape (despite the fact that a victory could still be declared if a competitor managed to escape).
This was done by Long to make sure there was no interference from any superstars, primarily JBL's stable, The Cabinet.
JBL won the match when Big Show chokeslammed him through the ring, allowing him to escape underneath.
Long also brought back the King of the Ring tournament in 2006, although it was a SmackDown!-exclusive event.
At Armageddon 2006, Long brought back the Inferno match, where Kane defeated MVP.
Long is married to Stephanie Keller and together they have three children together and six grandchildren.
The two have been married since 1982.

The bobcat (Lynx rufus) is a fierce cat that lives in forests, swamps, mountains, prairie, and deserts in much of North America.
Bobcats are generally nocturnal (most active at night), but are most active at dawn and dusk.
They spend the day in their den (a cave, hollow log or rock crevice).
They are very good climbers and swimmers.
Bobcats usually live from 10 to 14 years.
Bobcats and lynxes are closely related.
The Bobcat has powerful jaws and long, pointed canine teeth.
It has sharp, retractable claws, big short ears, and a spotted coat.
Many bobcats have long tufts of hair at the tip of the ears that improve the cat's hearing.
The brown eyes have round pupils.
These graceful cats are from 24 to 40 inches (60–100 cm) long (including the tail).
The stubby tail is only 4 to 7 inches (10–18 cm) long, and looks as though it was cut off (or bobbed).
This is what this cat is named for.
They are nocturnal (active at night) and elusive so they are rarely seen by humans.
Bobcats are carnivores (meat-eaters).
These fast, solitary hunters eat small mammals (like rabbits, hares, rodents, weasels and even deer), birds, fish, and eggs.
Bobcats stalk their prey, and then pounce onto it.
They can leap up to 10 feet (3 m).
They can often kill their prey in one powerful bite.
An emergency medical technician (EMT) is someone who works on an ambulance and takes care of sick and hurt people.
EMTs used to be called "ambulance drivers," since much of their work is bringing people to an emergency room.
Their other main duty is first aid including:
Doing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and give electric shocks to a person's chest if their heart is beating in a way that could kill them
Giving oxygen (or force oxygen into a person's lungs) if they stop breathing or are not breathing well enough to survive
Inserting a breathing tube down someone's windpipe to help them breathe better.
Stopping hemorrhaging (bleeding so bad that it will kill a person if not stopped)
Treating burns
Treat very bad physical trauma (injuries)
Helping people who are pregnant give birth
Treating broken bones, dislocated joints, sprains, and wounds
In the United States, each state decides what their EMTs can do.
EMTs in every state are allowed to perform first aid.
Each state has different rules for exactly what their EMTs can do.
These rules are called treatment protocols.
In Massachusetts, EMTs can give medicines to treat heart attacks, breathing emergencies (like asthma attacks), anaphylaxis, very low blood sugar, and overdoses on opiates like heroin and oxycodone.
In New Hampshire, EMTs are allowed to place a rescue airway in a patient who cannot breathe.
This means they will place a tube down the patient's throat, then force oxygen into the lungs through the tube.

Kuru is a disease caused by cannibalism, formerly thought to be caused by specifically eating human brains, but is actually caused by eating any human meat.
It is also known as the "laughing sickness" due to the pathologic bursts of laughter that the patient displays.
Kuru was found in Papua New Guinea, among members of the Fore tribe.
The word kuru means "trembling with fear" in the Fore language.
Kuru is a former municipality in the Pirkanmaa, Finland.
As of 2005, there were 2,774 people living in Kuru.

When peace like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
It is well, with my soul,
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.
"It Is Well With My Soul" is a hymn written by hymn-writer Horatio Spafford and composed by Philip Bliss.
Spafford wrote the song right after his four daughters died by the sinking of the S.S. Ville Du Havre.

Pistosaurus is a genus of marine sauropterygian reptiles.
It is a Nothosaur, a relative of the plesiosaurs.
Pistosaurus was a advanced nothosaur-like body with a plesiosaur-like head.
Is presently known only from the Middle Triassic.
Even if it is a nothosaur it is acknowledged to be closely related to the ancestors of plesiosaurs.
Although it is unlikely that Pistosaurus was a direct ancestor of the plesiosaurs, the mixture of features suggests that it was closely related  to that group.
A party is a social gathering for celebration and recreation.

35 locomotives were built in total.
They were designed to be very fast and had a very sleek shape.
One of them, 4468 "Mallard", is the fastest steam locomotive ever made.
It set a world speed record of 125 mph (201.16 km/h) on July 3, 1938.
Six A4s still exist today.
The rest were scrapped when steam stopped being used to power trains in Britain.

The Old Firm have a lot of history, possibly dating back to around 1888, Celtic's first match, which was against Rangers, when a newspaper report stated that both sets of players "got on so well that you would believe that they were old firm friends."
However, William J. Murray states that the term comes from the commercial benefits of the two clubs' rivalry, which were viewed with distaste in some parts in the early days of the game
The two clubs are the most successful in Scotland, having won between them 63 Scottish Cups and 93 Scottish Premier League championships (as of 2007).
The two clubs normally compete four times a year in the SPL and are regularly drawn against each other in the two Scottish cup competitions.
The clubs' have large support bases around Glasgow, but also have supporters clubs in most towns throughout Scotland and in many cities around the world.
The presence of Rangers and Celtic has been estimated to be worth £120 million to the Scottish economy.
The two clubs' fan bases have historically been divided on religious lines.
Celtic are supported by Catholics, while Rangers are supported by Protestants.
There have been many high profile players to play for both sides of the Old Firm.
The most recent players to do so are Kenny Miller, Maurice Johnston, Steven Pressley, Mark Brown and Barry Robson.
Kenny Miller is the first player in the modern era to cross the Old Firm divide twice, having played for Rangers then Celtic, then moving back to Rangers.
Despite being based in Scotland, the club played in English football between 1947 and 2002.
The club was elected to the Scottish Football League at the third attempt in 2002.
Under the ownership of businessman Brooks Mileson, who invested millions of pounds in what was a village team, the club went from the Third Division side to the Scottish Premier League (SPL) in less than five years.
While in the SPL, however, the club were placed in administration after Mileson withdrew his financial support.
The club finished in the relegation position in the SPL.
At the end of the season, all of the club's staff were made redundant and the club was initially relegated to the Third Division due to their inability to guarantee fulfilment of their 2008-09 fixtures.
After this demotion, the one remaining potential buyer withdrew their offer to buy the club.
In the belief that Gretna has ceased to exist, they resigned their place in the Scottish Football League on June 3.

A ZIP file contains one or more files that have been compressed, to reduce their file size, or stored as-is.
A number of compression algorithms are permitted in zip files but in 2008 only DEFLATE is widely used and supported.
ZIP files generally use the file extensions ".zip" or ".ZIP" and the MIME media type application/zip.
Some software uses the ZIP file format as a wrapper for a large number of small items in a specific structure.
Generally when this is done a different file extension is used.

Nazi Germany started a strong anti-tobacco movement and led the first public anti-smoking campaign in modern history.
In 1940, German scientists found a link between smoking tobacco, and lung cancer.
Anti-tobacco movements grew in many countries from the beginning of the 20th century.
But all these had little success.
The only exception was Germany where it was supported by the government after the Nazis came to power.
It was the most powerful anti-smoking movement in the world in the 1930s and early 1940s.
The Nazi leaders opposed smoking and some of them openly said what is wrong with tobacco consumption.
Research on smoking and its effects on health got better under Nazi rule and was the most important of its type at that time.
Adolf Hitler did not like tobacco and the Nazi reproductive policies were among the causes due to which the Nazis started their campaign against smoking.
This campaign was linked with antisemitism and racism.
The Nazi anti-tobacco campaign used many methods like restrictions on smoking in public spaces, limiting tobacco advertising, restrictions on tobacco rations for women, restrictions on restaurants and coffeehouses, promoting health education, banning smoking in trams, buses and city trains, limiting cigarette rations in the Wehrmacht, organizing medical lectures for soldiers and increasing the tobacco tax.
The anti-tobacco movement did not have much effect in the early years of the Nazi rule.
Tobacco use increased between 1933 and 1939.
But smoking by military personnel declined from 1939 to 1945.
This anti-smoking campaign was more powerful and serious than the anti-tobacco movement in Germany at the beginning of the 21st century.
Prelude to Nazi anti-tobacco campaign
Anti-tobacco thoughts existed in Germany in the early 1900s.
People who disliked smoking formed the first anti-tobacco group in the country named the Deutscher Tabakgegnerverein zum Schutze der Nichtraucher (German Tobacco Opponents' Association for the Protection of Non-smokers).
Established in 1904, this organization existed for a brief period only.
