What is April?	{{monththisyear\|4}} '''April''' (Apr.) is the fourth [[month]] of the [[year]] in the [[Julian calendar\|Julian]] and [[Gregorian calendar]]s, and comes between [[March]] and [[May]]. It is one of four months to have 30 [[day]]s. April always begins on the same day of the week as [[July]], and additionally, [[January]] in leap years. April always ends on the same day of the week as [[December]]. == The Month == [[File:Colorful spring garden.jpg\|thumb\|180px\|right\|[[Spring (season)\|Spring]] flowers in April in the [[Northern Hemisphere]].]] April comes between [[March]] and [[May]], making it the fourth month of the year. It also comes first in the year out of the four months that have 30 days, as [[June]], [[September]] and [[November]] are later in the year. April begins on the same day of the week as [[July]] every year and on the same day of the week as [[January]] in [[leap year]]s. April ends on the same day of the week as [[December]] every year, as each other's last days are exactly 35 weeks (245 days) apart. In [[common year]]s, April starts on the same day of the week as [[October]] of the previous year, and in [[leap year]]s, [[May]] of the previous year. In common years, April finishes on the same day of the week as [[July]] of the previous year, and in leap years, [[February]] and [[October]] of the previous year. In common years immediately after other common years, April starts on the same day of the week as [[January]] of the previous year, and in leap years and years immediately after that, April finishes on the same day of the week as January of the previous year. In years immediately before common years, April starts on the same day of the week as [[September]] and [[December]] of the following year, and in years immediately before leap years, [[June]] of the following year. In years immediately before common years, April finishes on the same day of the week as September of the following year, and in years immediately before leap years, [[March]] and June of the following year.

What is Air?	[[File:Kawasaki-Electric Fan.jpg\|thumb\|A [[wikt:fan\|fan]] moves air.]] '''Air''' is the [[Earth]]'s [[atmosphere]]. Air is a [[mixture]] of many gases and tiny dust particles. It is the clear [[gas]] in which living things live and [[breathe]]. It has an indefinite shape and [[volume]]. It has [[mass]] and [[weight]], because it is [[matter]]. The weight of air creates [[atmosphere pressure\|atmospheric pressure]]. There is no air in [[outer space]]. Earth's atmosphere is composed of about 78 percent nitrogen, 21 percent oxygen, 0.9 percent argon, and 0.1 percent other gases. Animals live and need to breathe the oxygen in the atmosphere. In [[breathing]], the [[lung]]s put oxygen into the [[blood]], and send back [[carbon dioxide]] to the air. Plants need the carbon dioxide in the air to live. They give off the oxygen that we breathe. Without it animals die of [[asphyxia]]. Air can be [[air pollution\|polluted]] by some gases (such as [[carbon monoxide]], hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides), [[smoke]], and ash. This [[air pollution]] causes various problems including [[smog]], [[acid rain]] and [[global warming]]. It can damage people's [[health]] and the environment. There are debates about whether or not to act upon climate change, but soon enough the Earth will heat up too much, causing it to become too hot and not support life. Some say fewer people would die of cold weather, and that is true but there is already a huge amount of people dying from heat and that number is and will keep increasing more and more. Since early times, air has been used to create [[technology]]. Ships moved with sails and windmills used the mechanical motion of air. Aircraft use [[propeller]]s to move air over a [[wing]], which allows them to [[flight\|fly]]. [[Pneumatics]] use [[air pressure]] to move things. Since the late 1900s, air power is also used to generate electricity. Air is invisible: it cannot be seen by the eye, though a shimmering in hot air can be seen.<ref>{{cite web \| url=https://www.sciencefocus.com/planet-earth
What is Arithmetic?	In [[mathematics]], '''arithmetic''' is the basic study of [[number]]s. The four basic arithmetic operations are [[Operation (mathematics)#Addition\|addition]], [[Operation (mathematics)#Subtraction\|subtraction]], [[Operation (mathematics)#Multiplication\|multiplication]], and [[Operation (mathematics)#Division\|division]], although other operations such as [[Operation (mathematics)#Exponentiation\|exponentiation]] and [[Operation (mathematics)#Roots\|roots]] are also studied in arithmetic.<ref>{{Cite web\|date=2020-03-17\|title=List of Arithmetic and Common Math Symbols\|url=https://mathvault.ca/hub/higher-math/math-symbols/common-math-symbols/\|access-date=2020-08-25\|website=Math Vault\|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web\|title=Definition of Arithmetic\|url=https://www.mathsisfun.com/definitions/arithmetic.html\|access-date=2020-08-25\|website=www.mathsisfun.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web\|title=Arithmetic\|url=https://www.britannica.com/science/arithmetic\|access-date=2020-08-25\|website=Encyclopedia Britannica\|language=en-US}}</ref> Other arithmetic topics includes working with negative numbers, [[Fraction (mathematics)\|fractions]], [[decimal]]s and [[Percentage\|percentages]]. ==Overview== Most people learn arithmetic in [[primary school]], but some people do not learn arithmetic and others forget the arithmetic they learned. Many jobs require a knowledge of arithmetic, and many employers complain that it is hard to find people who know enough arithmetic. ==Applications== A few of the many jobs that require arithmetic include [[carpenter]]s, [[plumber]]s, [[Mechanical engineering\|mechanics]], [[accountant]]s, [[architect]]s, [[doctor]]s, and [[nurse]]s. Arithmetic is needed in all areas of mathematics, [[science]], and [[engineering]]. Some arithmetic can be carried out mentally. A [[calculator]] can also be used to perform arithmetic.

What is Aquaculture?	[[File:Delta Pride Catfish farm harvest.jpg\|thumb\|The Delta Pride Catfish farms.]] '''Aquaculture''' is the [[farming]] of [[fish]], [[shrimp]], abalones, [[algae]], and other [[seafood]]. Aquaculture supplies fish, such as [[catfish]], [[salmon]], and [[trout]]. It was developed a few thousand years ago in [[China]]. Aquaculture supplies over 20% of all the seafood harvested. Fish farming has been practiced, in some parts of the world, for thousands of years. [[Goldfish]] originated about a thousand years ago in [[carp]] farms in China, and the [[Roman Empire]] farmed [[oyster]]s and other seafood. Today, half of the seafood eaten in the U.S. is farmed. To help meet the growing global demand for seafood, aquaculture is growing fast.<ref>Global Aquaculture Production Fishery Statistical Collections, FAO, Rome. [http://www.fao.org/fishery/statistics/global-aquaculture-production/en]</ref> The environmental impact of fish farming varies widely, depending on the species being farmed, the methods used and where the farm is located. When good practices are used, it's possible to farm seafood in a way that has very little impact to the environment. Such operations limit habitat damage, disease, escapes of farmed fish and the use of wild fish as feed. == References == {{reflist}} {{Fishing industry topics}} {{Agriculture footer}} [[Category:Aquaculture\| ]]
What is Ad hominem?	'''Ad hominem''' is a [[Latin language\|Latin]] word for a type of [[argument]]. It is a word often used in [[rhetoric]]. Rhetoric is the science of speaking well, and convincing other people of your [[idea]]s. Translated to English, ''ad hominem'' means ''against the person''. In other words, when someone makes an ad hominem, they are [[aggression\|attacking]] the person they are arguing against, instead of what they are saying. The term comes from the Latin word ''homo'', which means [[human]]. ''Hominem'' is a [[gender]] neutral version of the word ''homo''. In ancient [[Rome]] it referred to all free men, or in other words, all free human beings. Ad hominem can be a way to use [[reputation]], [[rumor]]s and [[hearsay]] to change the minds of other people listening. When a [[social network]] has already excluded or exiled one person, or applied a negative [[wikt:label\|label]] to them, this can work more often. It is most of the time considered to be a weak and poor argument. In [[court]]s and in [[diplomacy]] ad hominems are not appreciated. Ad hominems are not wrong every time. For example, when people think that someone can't be [[Trust (social sciences)\|trusted]], things that they have said previously can be [[doubt]]ed. == What an ad hominem argument looks like == In [[logic]], a [[wikt:proof\|proof]] is something that starts with [[premise]]s, and goes through a few logical [[argument]]s, to reach a [[conclusion]]. === Normal (valid) proof === # All [[human]]s are mortal. # [[Socrates]] is human. # Therefore, Socrates is mortal. === Ad hominem example === # Person A thinks [[abortion]] should be [[illegal]]. # Person A is uneducated and poor. # Therefore, abortion should not be illegal. In this example it can be seen that the (completely unrelated) fact that person A is uneducated and poor is used to prove that abortion should not be illegal. ==Related pages== * [[Fallacy]] for a list of other types of (false) rhetorical arguments. {{Fallacies}} {{Propaganda}} [[Category:Latin words used in Engli

When [[Christopher Columbus]] explored the area, he did not know about the Americas. He was in the [[Caribbean]] but thought he was in the [[East Indies]] and so he called the people Indians. Today, some think that it is [[racism]] to use Indian for a Native American. There are different Native American [[Tribe\|tribes]], with many different [[Language\|languages]]. Some tribes were [[Hunter-gatherer\|hunter-gatherers]] who moved from place to place. Others lived in one place and built [[City\|cities]] and [[Kingdom\|kingdoms]].

What is Astronomy?	{{more sources\|date=September 2024}} [[File:The Galactic Centre and Bulge above the ESO 3.6-metre telescope.jpg\|thumb\|The [[Milky Way]] as seen from [[La Silla Observatory]]]] '''Astronomy''' is the [[Science\|scientific study]] of [[celestial bodies]].

Astronomy includes the development, [[physics]], [[chemistry]], [[meteorology]] and [[movement]] of celestial bodies. The big questions are the structure and development of the [[universe]]. Astronomy is one of the oldest [[science]]s. The patterns of [[stars]] in the night sky were called [[constellations]] by the Arabs. They used the positions of the stars to navigate, and to find when was the best time to plant [[crops]]. [[Astrophysics]] is an important part of astronomy. A related subject, [[cosmology]], is concerned with studying the [[universe]] as a whole,<ref>{{cite book\|last1=Unsöld\|first1=Albrecht\|last2=Baschek \|first2=Bodo\|title=Classical Astronomy and the Solar System - Introduction\|date=2001\|page=1}}</ref> and the way the universe changed over time. Astronomy is not the same as ''[[astrology]]'', a belief that the motion of the stars and the planets may affect [[human]] lives. There are two main types of astronomy, ''observational'' and ''theoretical'' astronomy. Observational astronomy uses [[telescope]]s and [[camera]]s to ''[[wikt:observe\|observe]]'' or look at stars, galaxies and other [[astronomical object]]s. Theoretical astronomy explains what we see. It predicts what might happen. Observations show whether the predictions work. The main work of astronomy is to explain puzzling features of the Universe. For many years the most important issue was the motions of planets. Many other topics are now studied. Day-time astronomy is possible. First, there's the [[Sun]], but observing directly is dangerous.

What is Bankruptcy?	'''Bankruptcy''' is a [[law\|legal process]] which happens when a person or an organization does not have enough [[money]] to pay all of its [[debt]]s. Legally they are [[Insolvency\|insolvent]]. Where it is a person who cannot pay their debts, the person's creditors may ask the court to appoint a ''trustee in bankruptcy''. This is a professional accountant who is appointed by the court, to take control of the bankrupt person's [[asset]]<nowiki/>s. Some assets are protected by law, but the trustee in bankruptcy will sell off all of the other assets and use the money to pay as much of that person's debts as possible. After the process is complete the person is ''discharged from bankruptcy'', and the person is free from any further liability to pay those claims, but normally that person will be limited in their ability to borrow money again because their [[credit rating]] will be damaged. Where it is an organisation which cannot pay its debts, the creditors may ask the court to appoint a ''liquidator''. The liquidator does a very similar job to the trustee in bankruptcy except that there are no assets which are protected so the liquidator can sell everything. Once all of the assets of the organisation have been sold, the organisation is then ''dissolved'' and no longer exists. Organisations do not get discharged from bankruptcy in the same way that a living person does. == Insolvency or bankruptcy == People often confuse the terms '''bankruptcy''' and '''[[insolvency]]''', and sometimes they use one word when they really mean the other. Insolvency usually just means that a someone does not have enough money to pay their debts or (sometimes) that the total amount of their debts is worth more than the total amount of their assets. Bankruptcy is a formal legal process in front of the courts. Although the two terms are connected, just because a person is insolvent does not necessarily mean that they will go into bankruptcy. == Alternatives to bankruptcy == Many countries have alternatives to bankruptcy to

They sometimes call this ''true berry'', to distinguish it from ''false berries''. By that statement of how words are used, [[grape]]s or [[tomato]]es are true berries. The berry is the most common type of soft fruit in which the entire ovary wall gets to the right stage of development of the [[pericarp]] which can be taken as food. The flowers of these plants have an upper ovary with one or more [[carpel]]s. The seeds are inside the soft body of the ovary. Berries are small, sweet, bright colored fruits. Due to this, they are able to bring more [[animal]]s towards them and spread their [[seed]]s. Some fruits that are called ''berries'' in [[English language\|English]] are not ''true berries'' by the use of words above. These include [[raspberry\|raspberries]], strawberry, sutberry, [[blackberry\|blackberries]], [[cranberry\|cranberries]], and [[boysenberry\|boysenberries]]. Some true berries do not have ''berry'' in their name. These include [[tomato]]es, [[banana]]s, [[eggplant]]s, [[guava]]s, [[pomegranate]]s and [[chile pepper\|chillies]].

In other words, chemistry is the branch of science about fundamental properties of matter and chemical reactions. Chemistry is the study of the substances and their [[transformation]]s (or change). ==History== In history, people studied elements to figure out how to do things such as turn [[lead]] into gold, but they did not manage to do it. This early form of chemistry was called [[alchemy]]. During the [[18th century]], alchemists became chemists when they began using the [[scientific method]]. Chemists separated the air into many parts and isolated the [[noble gas]]es from it. They also processed special minerals from a mine in [[Sweden]] to get [[rare earth metal]]s. [[Radioactivity]] was also discovered. 118 different elements have been found.<ref>{{cite web\|title=Periodic Table of Elements\|website=[[American Chemical Society]]\|url=https://www.acs.org/education/whatischemistry/periodictable.html\|access-date=2023-02-20}}</ref> Some are very common, like [[oxygen]].

What is Computer?	[[File:IBM System360 Mainframe.jpg\|thumb\|This is an [[IBM System/360]].]] A '''computer''' is a [[machine]] that uses [[electronics]] to input, process, store, and output [[data]]. Data is information such as numbers, words, and lists. Input of data means to read information from a keyboard, a storage device like a [[hard drive]], or a [[sensor]]. The computer processes or changes the data by following the instructions in [[software]] programs. A computer program is a list of instructions the computer has to perform. Programs usually perform mathematical calculations, modify data, or move it around. The data is then saved on a storage device, shown on a [[computer display\|display]], or sent to another computer. Computers can be connected together to form a [[computer network\|network]] such as the [[internet]], allowing the computers to communicate with each other. The [[Central processing unit\|processor]] of a computer is made from [[integrated circuits]] (chips) that contains many [[transistors]]. Most computers are [[digital]], which means that they represent information using [[binary]] [[digit]]s, or [[bit]]s. Computers come in different shapes and sizes, depending on the brand, model, and purpose. They range from small computers, such as smartphones and [[laptop]]s, to large computers, such as [[supercomputer]]s. == Characteristics == Two things that define a computer are that it responds to a specific [[instruction set]] in a well-defined manner, and that it can execute a stored list of instructions called a [[Computer program\|program]]. There are four main actions in a computer: [[Input device\|inputting]], [[Computer memory\|storing]], [[Output device\|outputting]] and processing. Modern computers can do billions of calculations in a second. Being able to calculate many times per second allows modern computers to multi-task, which means they can do many different tasks at the same time. Computers do many different jobs where [[automation]] is useful. Some examples are controlling [[traffic light]]s, vehic

What is Creativity?	{{nosources\|date=April 2019}} {{complex\|date=December 2023}} '''Creativity''' is the [[ability]] of a person or group to make something new and useful or valuable, or the [[process]] of making something new and useful or valuable. It happens in all areas of life - science, art, literature and music. As a personal ability it is difficult to [[measure]]. The reason is that we don't understand the mental processes that help some people be more creative than others. Judging who and what is creative is also controversial. Some people say only things that are historically new are creative, while other people say that if it is new for the creator and the people around them, then it is also creativity. Some think that creativity is an important thing that makes [[human]]s different from [[ape]]s. Others recognize that even apes, other [[primate]]s, other [[mammal]]s, and some birds [[adapt]] to [[survive]] by being creative (for example - primates using tools). [[Liane Gabora]] believes that all [[culture]] comes from creativity, not [[imitation]]. Therefore, these people say, [[human science]] should focus on it (pay special attention to it): [[Ethics]] for example would focus on finding creative [[solution]]s to [[ethical dilemma]]s. [[Politics]] would focus on the [[political virtues]] that need some creativity. Imitation would not be the focus of [[education]]. [[Linguistics]] might be more interested in how new words are created by culture, rather than in how existing ones are used in [[grammar]]. [[Intellectual interests]] (recognized as [[intellectual rights]] or [[intellectual property]] in the [[law]]) are a way to [[reward]] creativity in law, but they do not always work very well.

What is Cube?	[[File:Cube.svg\|thumb\|A cube has 6 sides of equal length and width]] [[File:Selpologne.jpg\|thumb\|A magnified crystal of salt]] A '''cube''' is a type of [[polyhedron]] with all [[right angle]]s and whose [[height]], [[width]] and [[depth]] are all the same. It is a type of [[cuboid\|rectangular prism]], which is itself a type of [[hexahedron]]. A cube is one of the simplest [[Platonic solid\|mathematical shape]]s in space. Something that is shaped like a cube can be called ''cubic''. Surface area of cube=6l^2 Lateral Surface area of cube=4l^2 Volume of cube=l^3 [[File:Hexahedron.gif\|thumb\|A [[rotation\|rotating]] cube.]] == Relative 2-dimensional shape == The basic difference between a cube and a [[Square (geometry)\|square]] is, a cube is a [[3D]] figure (having 3 [[dimension]]s) i.e. length, breadth and height while a square has only 2 dimensions i.e. length and breadth. The 2-dimensional ([[2D]]) shape (like a circle, square, triangle, etc.) that a cube is made of is [[square (geometry)\|squares]]. The sides (faces) of a cube are squares. The edges are straight [[line]]s. The corners (vertices) are at right angles. A cube has 8 corners, 12 edges and 6 faces, as in the most usual kind of [[dice]]. A [[tesseract]] carries this idea into the fourth dimension ([[4D]]) and is made of 8 cubes. == Volume == * The [[volume]] of a cube is the [[length]] of any one of the edges (they are all the same length so it does not matter which edge is used) ''cubed''. * This means you multiply the number by itself, and then by itself again. * If the edge is named 'd' (See Diagram), the equation would be this: Volume=d×d×d (or Volume=d<sup>3</sup>). == Cube-shaped figures == * [[Dice]] * [[Box]]es {{shapes}} [[Category:Platonic solids]]

There are many kinds of dances, and every human [[society]] has its own dances. Dancing is not a sport, though it does have some athletic aspects. Dance is an art. Some people dance to express their feelings and [[emotion]]s, or to feel better. Dance can be used to tell a story. In some societies, dance goes with [[song]] as well as [[music]]. Dancing is sometimes done as [[sport]] and has similar athletic aspects. People who want to learn to dance can go to dance schools.

What is Dissolution of the monasteries?	[[File:Visitation monasteries.JPG\|frame\|right\|''Modern drawing of one of [[Oliver Cromwell]]'s visitors leaving a monastery. People think this could be Colchester Abbey, after it was ruined.'']] The '''dissolution of the monasteries''' was an event that happened from 1536 to 1540, when [[England\|English]] King [[Henry VIII of England\|Henry VIII]] took away the land and money that the nuns and monks of the [[Roman Catholicism\|Roman Catholic]] church owned. Henry VIII then gave this land and money to people that supported him. This was also when Henry VIII made himself the new head of the [[Church of England]] (which is a type of [[Christianity]]).

What is Deadline?	A '''deadline''' is a [[time]] by which some [[:wikt:task\|task]] must be [[:wikt:complete\|complete]]d. Very often, it means a [[time limit]] that is set in place by an [[authority]] - for example, a [[teacher]] tells students that they must turn in their [[:wikt:homework\|homework]] in by a certain time. This is so the teacher is able to report fairly to his or her [[principal]] that every [[student]] had the same chance to do the work. Deadlines may also be set by a [[time horizon]] that comes from something that is not a human authority, but part of [[nature]]. For example, by [[sunset]] one must do those tasks requiring [[daylight]]. However, a human must watch the sun and decide what light is strong enough to still be daylight, so time limits will still be involved even if one observes a horizon and sets a deadline oneself. A way to remember this is that a time horizon is like the [[Matter\|physical]] [[horizon]] where sunset happens and a time limit is a thing people set up to deal with this. A deadline is a thing powerful people set up to ensure less powerful people comply with their way of doing things. [[Category:time]] [[Category:Planning]] [[Category:Problem solving]]
What is Dutton's Speedwords?	{{no sources\|date=July 2018}} {{Infobox writing system \|name = Dutton Speedwords \|type = shorthand \|SHform = printed \|typedesc = and auxiliary language \|creator = [[Reginald J. G. Dutton]] \|date = 1922 \|published = 1935, 1946, 1951, 1971 \|fam1 = [[Latin (script)\|Latin]] \|note = none }} '''Dutton Speedwords''' is a [[constructed language \| made-up language]] written by Reginald John Garfield Dutton. The [[idea]] of '''Dutton Speedwords''' is to make frequent words short, and very frequent words very short. '''Dutton Speedwords''' can be used as a second language for international communications. Dutton Speedwords is also a [[shorthand]] writing system – this means you can use it to write quickly. The method was made up by Reginald John Garfield Dutton (1886-1970) in 1922. It was first published in 1935. It was called ''International Symbolic Script''. A year later, it was called ''Speedwords''. It was changed in 1946 and 1951. It has two uses; to be a language and to be used for writing quickly. Dutton hoped that this would mean more people would learn it because they could use it for two reasons. The books that Dutton wrote about Speedwords are not printed anymore. But Speedwords is now being used by more people because they find it is good for working [[online]]. For example, it makes it faster to type an [[email]]. Another way of writing quickly is [[Pitman's shorthand]]. This uses special symbols instead of letters. Speedwords uses Roman letters. This makes it easier to learn. It also means it can be typed using a normal keyboard. Each word means only one thing. This means you do not need to use different forms of the same word. The words used in Speedwords are the same as the words used in many other languages. The words are like short versions of the writer's own language. == Other websites == * [http://www2.cmp.uea.ac.uk/~jrk/conlang.dir/Speedwords.overview overview of Speedwords] by Richard K Harrison 1994 {{Constructed languages}} [[Category:Constr

What is Definition?	{{wiktionary\|definition}} A '''definition''' in [[language]] explains what a [[word]] or [[phrase]] means. ''Defining'' means giving a definition. Other words with this meaning are ''[[wikt:description\|description]]'' and ''[[explanation]]''. They describe what a word means and explains to the person when and where it can be used. In [[mathematics]], a definition is an exact way of saying what a mathematical concept is. It might not be the easiest way to say what it is, but it is used because it is exact.

All living things have a limited lifespan, and all living things eventually die. Living things that have died are normally described as being dead. Death of humans is often investigated for the cause, in case of crime (such as [[murder]]), [[accident]] or [[disease]] that may continue to kill other humans.

What is Diesel-electric?	A '''diesel-electric''' [[engine]] is a [[diesel generator]], a [[diesel engine]] that drives an electric [[generator]]. The generator feeds [[electric power]] to an [[electric motor]] which turns a [[driveshaft]]. Its [[Energy efficiency\|efficiency]] is higher than when an engine drives a shaft through [[gear]]s. Most [[locomotive]]s and many [[ship]]s use diesel-electric drive. Many diesel-electric drives, especially small ones, store the electricity in a [[battery]]. Some designs also store [[braking energy]] in a [[flywheel]], which can also charge a battery. However, these add even more [[complexity]] and weight to the [[vehicle]], so are more appropriate for [[city driving]] where [[service station]]s are always available and there is much [[stop and go driving]]. Because they do not require any change or [[investment]] in stations nor much in [[vehicle design]], diesel-electric vehicles are believed to be the most likely replacement for today's [[internal combustion engine]]. When properly tuned, they have low [[toxic\|emission]]s and they use only about one-third of the [[fossil fuel]] of most [[gasoline]] engines powering similar vehicles. [[Honda]] and [[Toyota]] are presently delivering consumer priced diesel-electric cars. By contrast, [[hydrogen infrastructure]] is thought to be decades off, and is not fully implemented even in [[Iceland]] where there is abundant free [[geothermal electricity]]. In countries like [[India]], government is focusing on fully electric trains rather than diesel electric. That too electricity will be produced by renewable sources like [[Solar]]. Many [[activist]]s feel that promoting [[hydrogen]] is a stall, a way to avoid forcing the shift to diesel-electric vehicles in the nearer term. {{Transport-stub}} [[Category:Motors]]
What is Embassy?	[[Image:Riga DeutscheBotschaft.jpg\|thumb\|250px\|right\| The [[Germany\|German]] embassy in [[Riga]]]] A foreign '''embassy''' is the official office of one [[country]] in another.

Much of the [[diplomacy]] (talk) between the two [[governments]] happens there. They represent their country to the host government. The embassy represents the interests of the entire country and is fully responsible for the relationship between the two countries.

Typically Earth scientists use ideas from [[physics]], [[chemistry]], [[biology]], [[chronology]] and [[mathematics]] to understand the Earth, and how it evolved to its current state. If there is one fact which underlies all Earth science it is this: the Earth is an [[ancient]] [[planet]] which has been changing the whole time since its [[Age of the Earth\|formation]].

What is Ethics?	'''Ethics''' is the [[study (field)\|study]] of [[good and bad]] [[behaviour\|behavior]]. It is [[one]] of the main parts of [[philosophy]]. Ethics tries to answer [[question]]s like: * What [[action]]s are [[good]]? What actions are [[evil]]? * How can we tell the [[difference]]? * Are good and evil the same? * How should we make hard [[decision]]s that might help or hurt other people? * How do our actions affect others? == Ideas about ethics == When discussing ethics, the philosophy is generally separated into: * [[thinking]] about [[morality]], * the involvement of [[science]], * the [[freedom]] of people to decide for themselves how to [[act]] within their own [[belief]]s. ''Morality'' is what someone [[think]]s or feels is good or bad. There are many [[different]] moralities, but they share some things. For example, most people think that [[murder]] (killing somebody) is [[wrong]]. (compare [[Exodus]] 20:13) Some philosophers hope to find more things that moralities [[share]]. They think that ethics should use the [[scientific method]] to [[study]] things that people think are good or bad. Their work can be used to [[test]] the fairness of a situation, such as how people should [[treat]] each other. An [[example]] of this [[kind]] of thinking is the [[categorical imperative]]. Many countries have laws based on this [[idea]] of fairness. == What is ethics used for? == Understanding ethics can [[help]] people decide what to do when they have [[choice]]s. Many [[mwod:philosopher\|philosophers]] think that doing anything or making any [[choice]] is a part of ethics. Ethics is part of other [[field]]s of study in many ways. Here are some ways: * Ethics is part of the study of [[religion]]. In religion, people often learn what is good or bad from what they believe about [[God]] (or gods). Some important ideas about what is good or bad have come from religion. See [[Ten Commandments]]. * Some theories of [[economics]] say ethics has to do with [[money]]. Money is a big part of most people's lives. Thinki
What is Ethnic group?	An '''ethnic group''' is a group of people who are considered to be the same in some or multiple ways. They may all have the same [[ancestor]]s, speak the same [[language]], or have the same [[culture]], which could sometimes include [[religion]]. They often live in the same or surrounding area. Sometimes almost all of the people in one [[country]] are of the same ethnic group, but not always. Often one country may have several different ethnic groups, or the people of one ethnic group may live in several different countries. The [[International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights]] ensures the rights of ethnic groups in Article 27 and also gives them the right to use their own [[language]]. An example of an ethnic group is the [[Slavic peoples]] and [[Roma people]]. == Related terms == * Supraethnicity or supra-ethnicity: a grouping of several interrelated ethnicities that have similar but unique [[Culture\|cultures]]. == Related pages == * [[Ethnic groups of the United States]] * [[Minority group]] == References == [[Category:Ethnic groups\| ]] {{stub}}

What is Experience economy?	The '''experience economy''' is the [[wikt:intangible\|intangible]] [[service economy]] that customers experience directly. In [[moral purchasing]], [[Natural Capitalism]] and other theories of how [[Consumer\|consumers]] make choices, they are actually choosing experiences or [[comprehensive outcome]]s of their choices.

What is Execution?	{{sources}} '''Execution''' is where [[state]] authorities [[kill]] someone for having committed an extremely serious [[crime]], usually [[treason]] or especially terrible [[murder]]s. In most [[country\|countries]] where the [[death penalty]] is still provided for by [[law]], using it is an option available to the sentencing [[judge]]: even if the jury or judicial panel recommends the death penalty, the presiding judge still has the option to lock the convicted person in a [[prison]] for the rest of their life. A person whose job is to execute others is an '''executioner'''. ==Beheading== [[File:DelarocheLadyJaneGrey.jpg\|thumb\|[[Lady Jane Grey]], a probably innocent Queen of England is beheaded.]] [[File:AnneBoleynHever.jpg\|thumb\|[[Anne Boleyn]], executed for [[adultery]]]] Beheading means cutting the person's head off. It is one of the oldest execution methods and mentioned in the [[Bible]]. Beheading used to be the standard method of execution in [[Scandinavia]] and [[Germany]]. Commoners were usually beheaded with an [[axe]] and noblemen with a [[sword]]. A special device, like the [[guillotine]], may be used, as in [[France]]. [[Nazi Germany]] used the guillotine to execute criminal convicts, such as murderers. Many countries formerly used beheading as an execution for important people, including England. In England, many noblemen and even some kings and queens have been beheaded. There, the prisoner would be led up the scaffold and might be allowed a last speech. Then, he/she would be blindfolded and put his/her neck onto a block. Then, the executioner would lift up his axe and swing it down onto the victim's neck. If the executioner was skilled and the axe was sharp, then the axe would usually cut through the bone and organs of the victim in one stroke. But if the executioner was inexperienced, then it might take several strokes before the head was cut off. ==Other ways of execution== [[File:Edouard Manet 022.jpg\|thumb\|''The Execution of Emperor Maximilan of Mexico'' is a painting by [[Edouard Manet]].

What is Financial capital?	'''Financial capital''' is a form of [[capital (economics)\|capital]]. It is things that have [[value]], but do not do anything by themselves. They are only valuable because people value (want) them. For example, [[money]] is a form of financial capital. You cannot do anything with money but it still has value. Financial capital is used to pay for things, this is because there is always more of it and people always want it. This means that financial capital has a stable value and can be traded in most places and with most people. Some forms of financial capital, such as [[stock]]s, [[gold]] or [[bond (finance)\|bond]]s are not wanted by everybody. However they can be traded with people for money or another type of financial capital. Because of this, these forms of financial capital do not have a stable price. This means that some people try to make a [[profit]] by buying and selling these types of financial capital in a [[market]]. Some things are treated as financial capital, even though they do have a use. For example, some people buy and sell [[land]] but are not interested in doing anything with it. Some people think this sort of trade is bad because the land should be used and not just treated like money. Other types of capital, such as [[social capital]] and [[human capital]] are rarely treated like financial capital. This may be because they involve people. Treating useful capital like financial capital is called [[comodification]]. In [[politics]], a common question is how often the government should use financial capital. In particular, should the government use financial capital to make a profit? Traditionally, [[liberal]] [[politicians]] do not mind this kind of trading for profit, but [[socialist]] or [[conservatism\|conservative]] politicians are against it.

In many countries, fines can be ordered by police, court [[judge]]s and some government [[officer]]s. When agreeing to a [[contract]] with a business, a customer may agree to certain rules. If the customer breaks the rules, then they agree to pay a fine for doing so. For example, when somebody [[Car rental\|hires a car]] and agrees to return it by Friday, they agree that if they do not return the car by Friday, they must pay a $50 fine to the business. {{wikt}} [[Category:Punishments]] [[Category:Money]] {{stub}}

It is used when walking. It is also important for balance: it helps people stand straight. People also use it to [[kick]], in both [[fighting]] and [[sport]]s, [[football]] being an example. People's hands and feet have the same shape: they both have five ''digits'' (the fingers and toes). Many other [[Vertebrate\|animals with backbones]] also have five digits. The part of the foot which joins it to the leg is called the ''heel''. The bottom of the foot is called the ''sole''. Most land [[vertebrate]]<nowiki/>s have feet, and there are many different sorts of foot. The feet of [[monkey]]s are much like the hands. The hard foot of an [[ungulate]] is a [[hoof]]. When an animal has soft feet, or feet with soft parts on the underside, it is called a ''[[paw]]''. Many invertebrates also have feet. Many use [[footwear]] to protect themselves from [[weather]] and [[dirt]]. There are multiple kinds of footwear, for example ''sandals'', ''[[shoe]]s'', and ''[[boot]]s''. When people do not remove footwear, especially in hot places or when they are very active, their feet can smell badly (''foot odour)''. Wearing footwear that is too big or small can be bad for the feet, causing blisters. People who have foot, leg, and back problems can also get help from special shoes. People have different traditions in different parts of the world for when to wear footwear. For example, in many countries, usually do not wear their shoes or boots in a home. In the United States people often wear shoes inside a home. In Japan, people do not wear shoes in homes, and floors are often made of very soft materials. In Japan it is also important to keep the floors clean.
What is Farm?	[[File:Melaka Tropical Fruit Farm - Interior.jpg\|thumb\|A farm in [[Melaka]], [[Malaysia]].]] A '''farm''' is a piece of [[land]] used to grow [[crop]]s and/or [[Animal husbandry\|raise animal]]s. People who grow these plants or raise these animals are called [[farmer]]s. This work is called [[farming]]. Land that is used to grow plants is called farmland. Land that is used to feed animals with its grass is called [[pasture]]. Land that can be used to grow plants for food is called [[arable land]]. Many farms are very large and can cause damage. In some places farms are many and small, and can also cause damage. Farms provides most of the food for people. Some people farm to eat the food they produce ([[subsistence agriculture]]). Other farms, including large ones, sell their [[Product (consumer goods)\|produced]] crops or animals, like [[Horse trading\|horses]], to markets far away in [[urban area]]s (commercial or industrial farming). Most subsistence farms are in poorer countries, while industrial farms are in richer countries. == Kinds of farms == [[File:Tea plantation in India02.jpg\|thumb\|alt=Tea plantation\|A [[tea]] plantation in [[India]]]] * A farm that produces [[fruit]]s or [[Nut (fruit)\|nuts]] is called an ''orchard''. * A farm that produces [[grape]]s is called a ''vineyard''. * A farm that raises and trains [[horse]]s is called a ''stable''. * A farm that produces [[milk]] and [[dairy\|dairy products]] is called a ''dairy farm''. * If the animals are raised for [[meat]] it is a [[ranch]]. * A large farm that produces non-essential crops like [[tobacco]], [[coffee]], [[cotton]] or [[sugarcane]] is called a [[plantation]]. * A farm that produces [[rice]] and [[taro]] is called a [[paddy field]]. ==Related pages== * [[Farming]] * [[Ranch]] [[Category:Farms\| ]] [[Category:Basic English 850 words]] {{stub}} {{Agriculture footer}}

[[Scientist]]s say that there is no proof that ghosts are real,<ref>Shane McCorristine ''Spectres of the Self: Thinking About Ghosts and Ghost-Seeing in England,1750-1920'' 2010, pp. 44-56</ref><ref>Ken Gelder ''The horror reader'' 2000, pp. 43-44</ref> but many people believe that they are. There are a lot of [[wikt:story\|stories]] about ghosts in [[book]]s and [[movie]]s. Sometimes the ghost is the spirit of a person who was killed by someone or who was already dead. The ghost may stay on [[Earth]] because he or she has unfinished problems or is still trying to say goodbye to people who they missed.{{citation needed\|date=February 2020}} Sometimes ghosts are said to live in a particular place, for example an abandoned [[house]] or a place that existed hundreds of years ago. Sometimes the ghosts in these stories exist because of some problem the person had that was not solved before he or she died. The ghost stays on Earth trying to fix the problem. If the problem is fixed, the ghost can leave. Many people say they have seen or heard ghosts. People who try to talk to ghosts as their job are called [[Necromancy\|mediums]]. There can be bad ghosts and there can also be good ones. There have never been any ghosts that have actually hurt or killed people, although people tell stories about it. Many people believe they have seen ghosts. Others believe they have felt ghosts near them.

What is God's eye view?	'''God's eye view''' is a name for a [[point of view]] where the speaker or writer assumes he or she has [[knowledge]] only [[God]] would have. It appears several ways: In [[religion]], when an [[institution]] claims to speak for a [[divine being]]. In [[writing]], when a writer leaves the [[point of view]] of the [[main actor]] to start writing about things they could not know if the story were in real life. In [[science]], when a [[scientist]] ignores the way a [[subject-object problem]] affects [[statistics]] or an [[observer effect]] affects [[experiment]]. In [[medicine]] when a [[Medical doctor\|doctor]] makes a claim that [[The Gaze]] they use on a patient, actually sees the problem, rather than making a guess at a problem. *In [[ethics]] when a statement is made about who or what is right, without an honest attempt to make the [[wikt:process\|process]] of deciding this consider all points of view. A special case of the last is in a [[wiki]] with a [[GodKing]]. Often this person can get others to believe what they say about what is right, without making any special effort to be fair to other views. Many people think [[René Descartes]] took a God's eye view when he said [[cogito ergo sum]]. [[George Berkeley]] argued that [[optics]] from [[Isaac Newton]] and [[Johannes Kepler]] also had this problem. [[Category:Social sciences]]

What is Government?	A '''government''' is a group of people that have the [[Influence\|power]] to rule in a [[territory]], according to the [[administrative law]]. This territory may be a [[country]], a [[state]] or [[province]] within a country, or a region. There are many types of government, such as [[democratic]], [[parliamentary]], presidential, [[federal]] or [[unitary]]. ==Works== Governments make [[law]]s, rules and regulations, collect [[tax]]es and print [[money]]. Governments have monopolies on the legal use of force. Governments have systems of [[judiciary]] that list the acts or activities that are against the law and describe the punishments for breaking the law. Governments have [[law enforcement]] forces to make sure people within their jurisdiction follow the laws. Governments have [[diplomacy\|diplomats]] who communicate with the governments of other [[country\|countries]] by having meetings. Diplomats try to solve problems or disagreements between two countries, which can help countries to avoid war, make commercial agreements, and exchange cultural or social experiences and [[knowledge]]. Governments have a [[military]] force such as an [[army]] that protects the country from enemy countries, terrorists and other major threats that attack or which can be used to attack and invade other countries. Governments have security guards to protect the leader of a country. The [[head of state]] of a government may have [[advisor]]s and [[Minister (government)\|ministers]] for various departments. Together they are called the [[administration]]. == Types of governments == [[Plato]] listed five kinds of government in ''[[The Republic]]:'' === Democracy === The most common type of government in the Western world is called [[democracy]]. In democracies, people in a country can vote during elections for representatives or political parties that they prefer. The people in democracies can elect representatives who will sit on [[legislature]]s such as the [[Parliament]] or [[Congress]]. [[political party\|Political pa
What is Graph theory?	[[File:6n-graf.svg\|thumb\|300px\|right\|An undirected graph.]] '''Graph theory''' is a field of [[math]]ematics about graphs. A [[Graph (mathematics)\|graph]] is an abstract representation of: a number of [[point (geometry)\|point]]s that are connected by [[line]]s. Each point is usually called a ''vertex'' (more than one are called ''vertices''), and the lines are called ''edges''. Graphs are a tool for modelling relationships. They are used to find answers to a number of problems. Some of these questions are: * What is the best way for a [[mailman]] to get to all of the [[house]]s in the area in the least amount of [[time]]? The points could represent [[street]] corners and lines could represent the houses along the street. (see [[Chinese postman problem]]) * A salesman has to visit different customers, but wants to keep the distance traveled as small as possible. The problem is to find a way so they can do it. This problem is known as [[Travelling Salesman Problem]] (and often abbreviated ''TSP''). It is among the hardest problems to solve. If a commonly believed [[conjecture]] is true (described as '''P''' ≠ '''NP'''), then an exact solution requires one to try all possible routes to find which is shortest. * How many colors would be needed to color a map, if countries sharing a border are colored differently? The points could represent the different areas and the lines could represent that two areas are neighboring. (look at the [[Four color theorem]]) * Can a sketch be drawn in one closed line? The lines of the drawing are the lines of the graph and when two or more lines collide, there is a point in the graph. The task is now to find a way through the graph using each line one time. (look at [[Seven Bridges of Königsberg]]) == Different kinds of graphs == [[File:Directed.svg\|125px\|thumb\|A directed graph.]] * Graph theory has many aspects. Graphs can be directed or undirected. An example of a directed graph would be the system of roads in a city. Some streets in the city are one way streets. This means, that

What is History of Spain?	'''Spain''' is a [[country]] in [[Europe]]. == Early History == People have lived on the [[Iberian Peninsula]] for about 500,000 years. [[Neanderthal]] man came about 200,000 years ago. Modern humans first came about 40,000 years. Thousands of years ago [[Iberian]]s and [[Celt]]s lived there, and the [[Phoenicians]] made a few cities there to get [[tin]] and [[silver]] to trade. The [[Roman Empire]] controlled Spain for three hundred years; then people from [[Eastern Europe]] called [[Visigoths]] fought for Spain, won it from the Romans, and controlled Spain for over two hundred years. [[File:Dama de Elche.jpg\|thumb\|right\|180px\|[[Lady of Elche]] made by the [[Iberian]]s]] ==Medieval times== The Visigoths converted from [[Arian Christianity]] to [[Roman Catholicism\|Roman Catholics]]. [[Muslims]] who were [[Arab]] and [[Berber people\|Berber]] invaded in 711 and conquered Spain in 718. They called it [[Al-Andalus]]. Roman Catholics eventually decided to fight to take Spain back from the Muslims. They fought wars called the [[reconquista]] for more than seven hundred years. They also fought [[Crusades]] against other [[Christian]]s like the [[Cathar]]s. The Moors also fought each other for control of Al-Andalus. In the year [[1492]], they took the last part of Spain that had belonged to the Moors. [[Boabdil]], the last [[Moor]]ish Leader of [[Granada]], gave the city to King Ferdinand of Aragon on [[2 January]] [[1492]], and Christians now ruled all of Spain. Before this, several different kings had ruled different countries in what is now called Spain. Two of these countries, [[Kingdom of Castile\|Castile]] and [[Aragon]], came together when the king of Aragon, [[Ferdinand II of Aragon\|Ferdinand II]], married the queen of Castile, [[Isabella of Castile\|Isabella]]. In the same year, 1492, they decided to send [[Christopher Columbus]] to explore the [[Atlantic Ocean]]. Columbus found a land there that the people of Europe did not yet know. These were the islands of the [[Caribbean Sea]]. == Late 15th century ==
What is Height?	{{for\|the height of a human body\|Human height}} [[Image:Height.svg\|thumb\|right\|Height]] '''Height''' is the [[distance]] between the lowest end and highest end of an [[wikt:object\|object]].

What is Human body?	[[File:Da Vinci Vitruve Luc Viatour (cropped).jpg\|thumb\|Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man]] The '''human body''' is the [[body]] of a [[person]]. It is the [[physical]] structure of a person. The body is a thing that can be hurt or killed. Its functions are stopped by [[death]]. You need your muscles and your joints to move. == Study of the human body == [[File:Stomach colon rectum diagram numbered.svg\|alt=\|thumb\|Stomach colon rectum diagram numbered]] Some people [[Research\|study]] the human body. They look at where it is different from, or the same as, other [[animal]]s' bodies. These animals can be alive today. Or they can be [[extinct]] animals like other [[hominid]]s. (Hominids are [[primate]]s that are close to humans. [[Neanderthal]]s and ''[[Homo erectus]]'' were hominids.) Some people study how the human body works and lives in its [[environment]]. Some people study what people think about their body. Artists study how to draw or paint the human body. == Fields of study == Many different fields of study look at the human: * [[Biology]] is a field of [[science]]. It studies living things. It looks at how the human body works. It studies how the human body came from [[evolution]]. It studies how [[genetics]] makes the human body. [[Anatomy]] studies the parts of the body and how they work together. [[Ecology]] studies the environment including how humans affect it. [[Physical anthropology]] is a field of science. It compares humans to other [[hominid]]s. It also studies all other hominid bodies. They look at how [[human]]s and [[chimpanzee]]s are the same or different. [[Psychology]] is a field of [[medicine]]. It looks at how people think and feel. The [[brain]] is part of the body. How we think and feel comes from the brain. So psychologists study the body. They study how the brain lets us be who we are. * [[Religion]] also talks about the body. Some religions see the body as where the [[soul]] lives. Some see the body as like a [[church]].

It has the [[chemical symbol]] '''He''', [[atomic number]] 2, and atomic weight of about 4.002602. There are 9 [[isotope]]s of helium, only two of which are stable. These are <sup>3</sup>He and <sup>4</sup>He. <sup>4</sup>He is by far the most common isotope. Helium is called a [[noble gas]], because it does not regularly mix with other chemicals and form new [[Chemical compound\|compounds]]. It has the lowest [[boiling point]] of all the elements. It is the second most common element in the [[universe]], after [[hydrogen]], and has no color or smell. However, helium has a red-orange glow when placed in an electric field. Helium does not usually [[Chemical reaction\|react]] with anything else. Astronomers detected the presence of helium in 1868, when its spectrum was identified in light from the [[Sun]].<ref>Based on this location, its name was derived from the [[Greek language\|Greek]] word for Sun, ''helios''.</ref> This was before its discovery on [[Earth]]. Helium is used to fill [[balloon]]s and [[airship]]s because its [[density]] is lighter than [[air]]. It does not burn, so is safe for that kind of use. It is also used in some kinds of [[light]] bulbs. People can breathe in helium: It makes their [[voice]]s sound higher than it normally does. This may seem [[joke\|silly]], but it can actually be quite dangerous as if they breathe in too much, [[Hypoxia (medical)\|hypoxia]] can injure or kill them as they are not breathing normal air. Breathing too much helium can also cause long-term effects to [[vocal cords]]. Helium is created through the process of [[nuclear fusion]] in the Sun, and in similar stars. During this process, four hydrogen atoms are fused together to form one helium atom. On E

Although there are many Islands that surround fresh water, the vast majority of them surround oceans. [[Greenland]] and [[Australia]] are huge islands, but they are built of continental rock, and the latter is generally considered a continent. The most ancient part of continental rock is far older and chemically more complex than the rock of the [[sea floor]]. The heart of continents is their [[craton]]s, which are the most ancient and stable parts of the [[Earth's crust]]. In the cratons are all the rare elements needed for electronic equipment. They were swept up as the [[Sun]] moved through areas where [[supernovae]] had exploded. The rare elements we need were all got indirectly from supernovae explosions. The Sun's energy comes from turning hydrogen into helium. There are some islands which do have rare elements, and that is a sign that they were once part of a large [[supercontinent]]. So [[Great Britain]] was once part of a supercontinent. The oldest rocks are 2,700 million years old, and include many

What is IELTS?	The '''International English Language Testing System''' (IELTS) tests how fluent you are in the [[English language]]. People who take the test take the Academic Module or the General Training Module. The academic one is for people who want to go to university. The general one is for people who want to do other training or want to get work experience. People who want to emigrate to a country that uses English also take the general one. Most universities in Australia, Britain, Canada, New Zealand and the United States accept the IELTS.

What is Insult?	An '''insult''' is a description of someone that will [[:wikt:offend\|offend]] them. It may or may not be [[truth\|true]]. It is called ''derogatory'' language. Terms like [[:wikt:foolish\|foolish]], [[:wikt:stupid\|stupid]], [[:wikt:idiot\|idiot]] and [[:wikt:moron\|moron]] are insults, because they say that a person's [[mind]] is not quick or smart. Insulting someone's mother directly is a serious insult in many [[culture]]s. [[Ritual]] insults are part of many cultures. For example, they can be found in [[sports]] and [[military]] training. They are also very common in [[jargon]]s. For example, the word ''[[newbie]]'' is a part of [[net jargon]]. Calling someone a newbie is usually insulting. One should be very careful when using new words to describe others. ==Reason== Usually, someone insults others because they want to feel like they are better or have more power ([[influence]]) than the people they insult. They may want this because they are actually afraid that they are worse or less powerful than the people they are insulting. ==Effects== When someone is insulted, their [[pride]] is hurt. They may want to fight back by insulting the person who insulted them, or by telling someone who is older. [[Category:Figures of speech]]

What is Jargon?	'''Jargon''' is a special way to use words that are shared only by a certain group of people. They may not mean what the [[dictionary]] says they mean. They have different [[meaning]]s to the people using them than their everyday meaning. For example, the ordinary words ''boot'', ''net'', and ''web'' also have special meanings for users of [[computer]]s, the [[Internet]], and the [[World Wide Web]]. These, and to [[flame]], to [[ping]] and many [[acronym]]s are part of [[Internet slang\|net jargon]]. An ''acronym'' means that only some of the letters in the word or phrase are used. Often this is the first letter of each word. Other acronyms found online are simply common shorthand. Usually, more jargon is [[create]]d over time. Jargon is common in the [[military]] and other complex organisations. It includes [[phrase]]s like [[SNAFU]]. Jargon can be used by a [[clique]] to prevent others from joining or understanding, but it also is often just used because it is shorter. [[Category:Terminology]]

In the [[UK]] and the [[USA]], the [[statute]] [[mile]] is used more than kilometres for road distances and the [[nautical mile]] for sea distances. It is often used to measure the speed of cars, planes and boats by saying how many kilometres it can travel in an hour. This is shown as km/h. It is also spelled '''kilometer'''. This spelling is used in [[American English]]. One kilometre is 0.6214 miles (1093 yards or 3280.84 feet). This means that one mile is 1.6093 kilometres.

What is Leisure?	{{Unreferenced\|date=December 2011}} [[File:Female children climbing up a outer side of a well rings; April 2004.jpg\|thumb\|Two girls playing]] '''Leisure''' (or '''free time''') is when a person can choose what to do. During a person's leisure time, they do not have an obligation to be at [[school]] or work at a [[job]]. During leisure time, people can do [[wikt:fun\|fun]] activities, [[family]] activities, or other non-[[Labour (economics)\|work]] activities, such as hobbies. Common forms of recreation or leisure are: * Playing [[sport]]s, such as [[football]] or [[ice hockey\|hockey]] * Playing [[game]]s, such as chess or cards * Exercising (e.g. running or lifting weights) * Watching [[television]] and [[movies]] * Listening to [[music]] * [[Hobby\|Hobbies]], such as playing [[piano]] or [[guitar]], knitting, or sewing * [[Travel]]ling * Reading * Drawing * Painting A vacation or [[holiday]] is one example of a setting that is specifically for leisure. During vacation, some people travel to a different region or country and stay at a [[hotel]] so that they can do things they could not do near home. Other people prefer to spend their vacation time at home in their own community. In rich [[developed nations\|industrialized countries]] such as the [[United States\|US]] and [[Canada]] as well as in most European countries, workers are allowed to stay home on the [[weekend]] (usually [[Saturday]] and [[Sunday]]) and use it as leisure time. People in poorer developing countries usually have less leisure time, as they have to work longer hours and more days per year. [[Category:Leisure\| ]]

What is Leather?	[[File:Bristol.zoo.crocshoes.arp.jpg\|thumb\|Shoes made of crocodile leather]] '''Leather''' is the [[skin]] of an [[animal]] made into a durable [[material]] by [[tanning]]. The skins of [[cow]]s, [[pig]]s, and [[Domestic goat\|goat]]s are often used to make leather. Skins of [[snake]]s, [[alligator]]s or [[crocodile]]s, and [[ostrich]]es are sometimes used to make fancier leather. [[Shoe]]s, [[bag]]s, [[clothes]], and [[ball]]s are often made of leather. Sometimes people make leather out of whales, ducks, giraffes, and African elephants. All of these ways of making leather are very simple but some are rare. == How leather is made == The way leather is made is divided into three processes. They are preparing the leather, [[tanning]] it, and crusting. In preparing the leather, many things are done to make it ready for tanning. They include soaking it, removing the [[hair]], [[liming]], [[deliming]], [[Bathing\|bating]], [[bleaching]], and [[pickling]]. [[Tanning]] is a process that makes the [[Protein\|proteins]], especially [[collagen]], in the raw hide stable. It increases the thermal and chemical [[stability]] of the animal [[Skin\|skins]]. The difference between fresh and tanned animal skin is that fresh animal skin dries to make it hard and stiff. When water is added to it, it becomes bad. But, animal skin that is tanned dries to make it [[wikt:flexible\|flexible]]. It does not become bad when water is added to it.<ref>{{Cite book\|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/76788460\|title=Conservation of leather and related materials\|last=Kite\|first=Marion\|date=2006\|publisher=Elsevier Butterworth-Heinemann\|others=Roy Thomson\|isbn=0-08-045466-6\|location=Oxford\|pages=1-3\|oclc=76788460}}</ref> Crusting is a process that makes the leather thin and [[Lubrication\|lubricates]] it.

It may include splitting, shaving, [[dyeing]], [[Whitening (leather processing)\|whitening]] or other methods. ==From other animals== Today,

There is more than one kind of Macadamia tree. Only two kinds are grown for [[food]]. The tree is an [[evergreen]] (stays green all year long). It grows up to {{convert\|25\|ft\|abbr=off}} high. It has groups of small white [[flower]]s. It grows best in [[subtropical]] (wet and always warm) climates. It needs well-drained [[soil]] (water can flow away easily) and {{convert\|40\|to\|100\|in\|mm}} of rain a year. The nutmeat (the soft part inside the shell that can be eaten) is mostly a creamy white color. Sometimes it looks a bit yellow. It has a [[flavor]] that many people like. Macadamias are eaten [[roast]]ed (cooked) by themselves. They are used in [[cookie]]s, [[cake]]s, [[pastry\|pastries]], and [[candy\|candies]]. People use them like [[almond]]s and [[cashew]]s as part of cooked meals. This is an [[Far East\|Oriental]] style of cooking. The first [[Commerce\|commercial]] [[orchard]] was started in Australia in the late 1880s. Commercial production started in [[Hawaii]] during the 1920s. Production later spread to [[California]], [[Mexico]], and other places with warm [[climate]]. Macadamias are [[poison]]ous to [[dog]]s. A dog usually needs 24 to 48 hours to recover fully after eating macadamias.<ref>{{cite journal \|title= Treacherous Treats – Macadamia Nuts \|author= Christine Allen \|journal= Veterinary Technician \|date= October 2001 \|url= http://aspcapro.org/sites/pro/files/zj-vettech_1001_0.pdf \|accessdate= January 15, 2014 \|archive-date= January 16, 2014 \|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20140116100009/http://aspcapro.org/sites/pro/files/zj-vettech_1001_0.pdf \|url-status= dead }}</ref>The plant is in the [[Proteaceae]] family of flowering plants. ==References== {{reflist}} [[Category:Edible nuts and seeds]]

Instead, they traded one thing for another to get what they wanted or needed.<ref name=NOVA/> One person who owned many cows could trade with another person who had a lot of [[wheat]]. Each would trade a little of what he had with the other. This would support the people on his farm. Other things that were easier to carry around than cows also came to be held as valuable. This gave rise to trade items such as [[jewelry]] and [[spices]]. [[File:BMC 06.jpg\|thumb\|left\|150px\|{{Center\|Early 6th century [[BC]] Lydian coin}}]] When people changed from trading in things like, for example, cows and wheat to using money instead, they needed things that would last a long time.

What is Mustache?	{{unsourced\|date=February 2020}} [[File:Panayot Hitov.jpg\|thumb\|Panayot Hitov]] The hair that grows on the upper [[lip]] of some men is called a '''mustache'''. The hair that grows on the sides of the [[face]] and the [[chin]] of some men is called a [[beard]]. Some men have a lot of hair and a big mustache, and some have very little. In the modern world, many men [[shave]] part or all of their mustaches, or cut their mustache so it does not get very long. A chin [[beard]] with no mustache is called a [[goatee]], whilst a chin [[beard]] with a mustache is known as a Van Dyke. The earliest [[Beard\|facial hair]] above the lip, as a style, is credited to the [[Iron Age]] [[Celts]]. [[Diodorus Siculus]], a Greek historian, wrote this about the Celtic people:{{Quote box\|quote=The Gauls are tall of body with rippling muscles and white of skin and their hair is blond, and not only naturally so for they also make it their practice by artificial means to increase the distinguishing colour which nature has given it. For they are always washing their hair in limewater and they pull it back from the forehead to the nape of the neck, with the result that their appearance is like that of Satyrs and Pans since the treatment of their hair makes it so heavy and coarse that it differs in no respect from the mane of horses. Some of them shave the beard but others let it grow a little; and the nobles shave their cheeks but they let the moustache grow until it covers the mouth.}} Mustache in [[United Kingdom]] and [[Commonwealth of Nations]] is spelled moustache. Some [[animal]]s such as [[walrus]]es also have hair like this, and people sometimes also call this hair a mustache. [[Category:Facial hair]] {{stub}}
