Ferrosilicon is a combination of iron and silicon.
Between 15% and 90% of ferrosilicon is silicon.
Ferrosilicon is made by burning sand while there’s iron in the sand.
Ferrosilicons that contain the most silicon are made in electric arc furnaces.
When ferrosilicon is touching water, it may slowly make hydrogen.
Ferrosilicon is used by the military to quickly produce hydrogen for balloons.
The generator is small enough to fit in a truck and needs only a small amount of electric power.
The materials are stable and not combustible, and they do not make hydrogen until mixed.
Ferrosilicon is used to get oxygen out of steel.
Magnesium is made by combining ferrosilicon with dolomite.

The Zionist Union, Hebrew: המחנה הציוני‎‎ - HaMahaneh HaTziyoni, literally meaning The Zionist Camp, was an Israeli political cooperation.

The Zionist Union was dissolved in 2019.

In algebra, a montonic function is any function whose gradient never changes sign.
In simple words, it is a function which is either always increasing or decreasing.
For example,  sin x=f(x) isn't a monotonous function or simply, non monotonous function.
That is to say there are no turning points but there may be stationary points where the gradient is momentarily zero.
The derivative function  of a monotonic function which describes its gradient will never change sign.

An ideal blackbody at thermal equilibrium emits radiation in all frequency ranges.
It emits more energy as the frequency increases.
By calculating the total amount of radiated energy, it can be shown that a blackbody would release an infinite amount of energy.
This contradicted the principles of conservation of energy and showed a new model was needed for the behaviour of blackbodies.
This happened around the end of the nineteenth century.
It was one of the things that led to the invention of quantum mechanics.
It led theorists like Max Planck to come up with quantum theory in which energy leaves the body in distinct packets called quanta rather than in continuous waves.
The quantum theory accurately predicted the energy of the radiation that is observed.

Rotating bolt is a method of locking used in firearms.
Johann Nicolaus von Dreyse developed the first rotating bolt firearm, the "Dreyse needle gun" in 1836.
The Dreyse locked using the bolt handle rather than lugs on the bolt head like the Mauser M 98 or M16.
The first rotating bolt rifle with two lugs on the bolt head was the Lebel Model 1886 rifle.

From 1340-1800 many English and later British monarchs claimed the throne of France.
The origin of the claims come from Edward III's territorial claims of France which he claimed gave him the right to be king.
He tried to take the throne of France and started the Hundred Years' War.
Claims to the throne of France (1340-1360), (1369-1420)
Heir of France (1420-1422)
King of France (1422-1461), (1470-1471)
Henry VI was made to be successor of French king Charles VI and on October 21st 1422 took up the position of the French king.
He was said to rule the whole of France but in reality only ruled small parts of the north.
Charles VII was later crowned as king of France, son of Charles VI starting a small line of disputed monarchs and the English, later British monarch claiming the throne of France for another 350 years.
King of Calais (1461-1470), (1470-1558)
Edward IV also claimed the throne of France during Henry VI's absence from the English throne and his claims happened in between Henry's so reign of the monarch may not be in perfect order for this list.
The claim was of France but really monarchs only ruled Calais due to the terrible general skills of the Duke of Somerset, a close friend of Margaret of Anjou and Henry VI.
Later Tudor claimants (1558-1603)
English and Scottish claims (1603-1707)
English and Scottish claims refer to claims made after the 1603 union between the English monarch and the Scottish monarch when Scottish king James VI became English king James I uniting the kingdoms under one king.
However they remained geo-politically separate until the 1707 Acts of Union which united Scotland and England (including the Principality of Wales) into one nation now named Great Britain as of 1707, later the United Kingdom in 1800, the year George III dropped his claim.
British claims (1707-1800)
Edward Balliol (;  1283 – 1367)  was a claimant to the throne of Scotland.
He claimed the throne from 1314-1356, but reigned only from 1332-1336.
He was the eldest son of John Balliol and thus the heir to the Scottish throne after him.
However, John was deposed by Robert I and William Wallace (as guardian of Scotland).
He was chosen as king after the death of Margaret, Maid of Norway.
Although he was never considered to be the true king as he was an ally with Edward Longshanks and Edward II, kings of England.

Terns are seabirds in the family Laridae.
They are normally found near the sea, rivers, or wetlands.
They are slender, lightly built birds with long, forked tails, narrow wings, long bills, and short legs.
Most species are pale grey above and white below, with a contrasting black cap to the head, but some have dark plumage for part of the year.
Terns breed in noisy colonies and lay their eggs on bare ground with little or no nest material.
Marsh terns make floating nests from the vegetation in their wetland habitats, and a few species build simple nests in trees, on cliffs or in crevices.
Most species feed on fish caught by diving from flight, but the marsh terns are insect-eaters, and some large terns may take small land vertebrates.
Many terns are long-distance migrants, and the Arctic tern may see more daylight in a year than any other animal.
