Advanced Placement (AP) is a program in the United States and Canada created by the College Board which offers college-level curricula and examinations to high school students. American colleges and universities may grant placement and course credit to students who obtain high scores on the examinations.

United States Army Rangers
United States Army Rangers, according to the US Army's definition, are personnel, past or present, in any unit that has the official designation "Ranger".

In a broader and less formal sense, the term "ranger" has been used, officially and unofficially, in North America since the 17th century, to describe light infantry in small, independent units—usually companies. The first units to be officially designated Rangers were companies recruited in the colonies of New England by the colonial militia to fight in King Philip's War (1676). Following that time, the term became more common in official usage, during the French and Indian Wars of the 18th century. The US military has had "Ranger" companies since the American Revolution. British units late ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ayman Mohyeldin
Ayman ( ar, أيمن, also spelled as Aiman, Aimen, Aymen, or Eymen in the Latin alphabet) is an Arabic masculine given name. It is derived from the Arabic Semitic root () for ''right'', and literally means ''righteous'', ''he who is on the right'', ''right-handed'', ''blessed'' or ''lucky''. An early bearer of the name was Ayman ibn Ubayd, an early Muslim and companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. It is a masculine name in the Arabic language. However, in Pakistan, Ayman is used both as a masculine and feminine name. This may be because of the popular woman figure Umm Ayman, who raised Muhammad, whom parents name their daughter after. Her first name was ''Barakah'', and Umm Ayman was her kunya, with "Umm" meaning ''mother of'', and Ayman being the name of her eldest son, Ayman ibn Ubayd. In Turkey, the name is spelled as ''Eymen''. Eymen was the second most popular given name for boys born in the country in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. In Malaysia, Aiman was the 24th most po ...
