Agriculture is an important part of the economy of Azerbaijan.
It contributes only 6% of the GDP of the country, but employs 38.3% of the workforce.
Under the Soviet Union, agriculture in Azerbaijan was collectivized in large state farms.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, economic reforms took place, which led to the rapid changes in the agricultural sector as well, including privatization.
After the "Law on Land Reforms" was passed in 1996, land has been given to individuals who are now allowed to own small private farms and sell their farm products.
Nevertheless, Azerbaijan's agricultural sector still needs a lot of modernization, if it is to realize its vast potential.
Prices for agricultural products are below the cost of labor, because the Soviet-era communist collective farm system discouraged private initiative; equipment in general and the irrigation system in particular are old, and modern technology is still not widespread, especially in small private farms.
Jaffa Gate (, Sha'ar Yafo; , Bab el-Khalil, "Gate of the Friend"; also Bab Mihrab Daud, "Gate of the Prayer Niche of David"; also called David's Gate) is a stone archway in the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem.
It is along one of the main roads that connects the western part of the city to the Western Wall and the Temple Mount above him.
The plaza of the Jaffa Gate replaced a tall Roman pillar inside the Damascus Gate, which was used as the starting point for measurements to other cities in Palestine.

"a novel that has as its setting a usually significant period of history. [
It] attempts to convey the spirit, manners, and social conditions of a past age with realistic details and fidelity (which is in some cases only apparent fidelity) to historical fact.
The work may deal with actual historical characters... or it may contain a mixture of fictional and historical characters".
Many regard Sir Walter Scott as the first to write historical novels.
György Lukács, in his The Historical Novel, argues that Scott is the first fiction writer who saw history not just as a convenient frame in which to stage a contemporary narrative, but rather as a distinct social and cultural setting.15-29 His novels of Scottish history such as Waverley (1814) and Rob Roy (1817) focus upon a middling character who sits at the intersection of various social groups in order to explore the development of society through conflict.31-38 His Ivanhoe (1820) gains credit for renewing interest in the Middle Ages.
Victor Hugo's The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1831) furnishes another 19th-century example of the romantic-historical novel as does Leonie Greg Tolstoy's War and Peace.
In the United States, James Fenimore Cooper was a prominent author of historical novels.69-72 In French literature, the most prominent inheritor of Scott's style of the historical novel was Balzac.92-96

Robert II Archbishop of Rouen (989–1037) and Count of Évreux.
He was an important and influential member of the clergy of Normandy.
Robert was an advisor to five dukes of Normandy.
Robert was the son of Richard I the Fearless by his wife Gunnora.
He was a younger brother of duke Richard II and the uncle of duke Robert I. He was appointed the Archbishop of Rouen by his father .
He was also given the countship of Évreux at the same time.
Robert had always been involved in Norman politics and was a strong supporter of the Norman dukes.
His nephew Richard III had a troubled and short reign of just over a year.
When he was succeeded by his brother Robert I, as Duke of Normandy, Archbishop Robert had a great deal of trouble helping the new duke.
In 1028 the duke attacked him and then made him leave Normandy.
Duke Robert I then laid siege to Hugh d'Ivry, Bishop of Bayeux who also questioned his authority as duke.
From exile in France, Archbishop Robert excommunicated his nephew Duke Robert and placed Normandy under an interdict.
The Archbishop and Duke finally came to an agreement.
Archbishop Robert lifted the interdict and excommunication; Duke Robert restored the Archbishop to his see.
He also gave back his countship of Evereux, and returned all his properties.
Duke Robert also returned all the property that he or his vassals had taken from the church.
By 1033 Duke Robert was starting a major campaign against his cousin Alan III, Duke of Brittany.
He and Alan had been raiding back and forth but finally a peace was negotiated between them by Archbishop Robert, their mutual uncle.
In 1035 Duke Robert had decided on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem.
After making his illegitimate son William (William the Conqueror) his heir he asked the archbishop to watch over and protect his young son.
Duke Robert then set out on his pilgrimage to Jerusalem never to return to Normandy.
He died on his return journey.
Archbishop Robert kept his promise and ruled Normandy as regent for William until his death in 1037.
When Robert died it caused an increase in lawlessness in Normandy.
Robert was a witness to at least fifteen ducal charters during his career.
He influenced Norman politics for nearly fifty years.
Robert married Herlevea  and they had the following children:
Richard, Count of Évreux (d. 1067).
Ralph de Gacé, Sire de Gace.

Blood donation is about donating blood; it does not affect the health of the person donating.
Bloodletting is the practice  of withdrawing blood from a patient to cure a disease.
The practice was widely used in Antiquity and the Middle Ages.
People stopped using it in the 19th century.
The idea of bloodletting comes from an ancient system of medicine called Humorism: This system states, that there are different humors in the body.
To remain healthy, a patient had to keep these humours in balance.
Bloodletting was the most common medical practice performed by physicians from antiquity until the late 19th century, a span of almost 2,000 years.
It was found that only in very few cases, this treatment helps cure a disease.
The practice has now been abandoned for all except a few very specific conditions.
There was no other treatment for hypertension.
Bloodletting could sometimes have had a beneficial effect in temporarily reducing blood pressure by reducing blood volume.
The problem with hypertension is that it is difficult to diagonse from its symptoms.
Modern methods directly measure blood pressure.
In Antiquity, this  effect was therefore unintentional.
In most cases, the historical use of bloodletting was harmful to patients.
The diseases where bloodletting actually helps include Polycythemia vera.
In this disease, the number of red blood cells is increased, which changes the viscosity of the blood.
Another disease is Polycythemia, which also leads to an increased number of red blood cells.

The name Paloma was then retired and replaced with Paulette for 2014.

The Canadian Paralympic Committee says B2 athletes havve "Up to approximately 3-5% functional vision."
B2 is used in other sports other than sports run by the IBSA.

In adaptive rowing, the similar B2 class is LTA-B2.
In horse riding, Grade 4 is the similar group to B2.
For swimming, the similar disability group for B2 is S12.
B2 has its history in the early history of blind sports.
When blind people first started competing, people believed people who had better vision could unfairly compete against people with worse vision.
Different groups around vision problem were developed by the IBSA to make playing sport more fair for people with different levels of blindness.
Equipment used by B2 sportspeople may include sighted guides, guide rails, beeping balls and clap sticks.
The use of a sighted guide by B2 athletes depends on the sport.
For blind archery, B2 sportspeople use a sighting device based on the sense of touch and must not be able to see well enough to use a bowsight.

McGrath was born in Versailles, Woodford County, Kentucky.
His father was a tailor and taught his son the trade, but McGrath sought something more to his taste and became a card sharp.
He travelled about the American South and West.
In 1852, he opened the first gambling house in the South, at New Orleans, Louisiana.
He and his partners conducted pools, finally having to charge $10 a head to enter the house.
With the wealth he accumulated, McGrath bought 500 acres near Lexington, Kentucky.
This land became one of the great stock farms in the United States and was called "McGrathiana".
McGrath bred the race horse, Aristides, the winner of the first Kentucky Derby in 1875.
McGrath lived like a lord, conducted his business honestly and openly, always backed his own horses, and died with an estate worth $200,000.

Northern Catalonia (, ) is a name that sometimes is used, mainly in Catalan writings, to refer to the territory given to France by Spain in 1659.
The area corresponds approximately to the modern French département of the Pyrénées-Orientales.
The French name, Catalogne Nord, is used nowadays, although less often than the more politically neutral Roussillon (in reference to the pre-Revolutionary province).
Sometimes French Catalonia is also used.
Northern Catalonia forms a triangle between the Pyrenees to the south, the Corbières to the north-west and the Mediterranean Sea to the east.
The Plain of Roussillon in the east, by far the area where more people live, is formed by the floodplains of the Tech, Têt and Agly rivers ().
The districts of Vallespir and Conflent cover the upper valleys of the Tech and the Têt respectively.
The mountain Le Canigou (), , dominates much of the territory.
More of a quarter of the population of Northern Catalonia is in the city of Perpignan ().
Perpignan is the only important administrative and service centre.
Roads and trains run north–south through Northern Catalonia between France and Spain.
French is the only official language in France as whole and in these municipalities.
Catalan, in its Northern Catalan variety, is recognized as a regional language only by the region of Languedoc-Roussilon.
It is estimated to be spoken by a quarter of the population, but understood by a higher percentage.
In the 1950s, after centuries of being forbidden in education, the Catalan language was permitted to be studied for one hour per week in secondary school.
In the 1970s, the Arrels Association and Bressola network of private schools started to offer complete bilingual French/Catalan classes from nursery up to secondary education.
