absolutism

title: Absolute monarchy

text: An absolute monarchy is a form of monarchy where one person, usually called a monarch (king, queen, emperor or empress) holds absolute power. It is in contrast to constitutional monarchy, which is restrained or controlled by other groups of people. Controllers may be an entity such as clergy, lawmakers, social elites or a written constitution. One nation though, The Kingdom of Denmark-Norway, had the absolute rule of the monarch written in a constitution named "The King's Law" (Kongeloven). A significant number of monarchs were previously absolute rulers within their kingdom, but after the French Revolution (end-18th century) it became ever more common for monarchs to be limited by a constitution. Nowadays, there are a few absolute monarchies that have been preserved. Some of these remaining absolute monarchies can be found among Arab countries.

bowler

title: Bowling (cricket)

text: In the sport of cricket, the act of bowling is delivery of the ball by the bowler from his/her end of the pitch to the other, where the wicket is defended by the striker, armed with a bat. In a dictionary definition, "to bowl" is to "propel the ball towards the wicket for the batsman to attempt to hit". Delivery must be done fairly in accordance with The Laws of Cricket, in which Law21 is largely concerned with how the ball is bowled. There are three basic types of bowling: fast, medium pace and spin. Each of these have their own subdivisions, partly dependent on which arm the bowler uses, and to some extent on whether the batsman is right-handed or left-handed. The bowler aims to dismiss the batter or, at least, to prevent them from scoring and runs. Any member of the fielding team may be called upon to bowl, although it is rare for the wicket-keeper to do so. Players who are selected for their batting skills are unlikely to bowl. In practice, a team will include perhaps four or five skilled bowlers. Some bowlers are also good batters, and are called all-rounders. For example, Andrew Flintoff (pictured) was a world-class all-rounder in the 2000s. Bowlers take it in turns to bowl overs. An over is a period of play in which six successive deliveries are bowled by one bowler from the same end of the pitch. The name comes from the umpire's call of Over! after the sixth delivery has been completed. The next over is bowled by a different bowler from the other end of the pitch. Having completed an over, the bowler becomes a fielder again for the next one. No bowler can bowl two successive overs. The same bowler is likely to bowl a "spell" of alternate overs, often in partnership with another bowler who completes a spell at the other end of the pitch. There have been many famous bowling partnerships in cricket, such as Brian Statham and Fred Trueman when they played for England in the 1950s and 1960s. The bowler must deliver the ball with a straight arm (see photo). A ball bowled with the elbow bent is a throw, an illegal delivery that the umpire will rule a no ball. If the bowler's front foot is not on or behind the popping crease when they release the ball, that is also a no ball. If the bowler bowls the ball out of the striking batter's reach, that is ruled a wide. No balls and wides are credited as extras to the batting team's total, and the delivery must be bowled again.


buoyancy

title: Buoyancy

text: In physics, buoyancy (lit: float force) ( ) is a force on an object making that object rise or move upward. It comes from the Spanish word for "float", boyar. Buoyancy is made by the difference in pressure put on the object by the Fluid or air that the object is in. The net upward buoyancy force is equal to the magnitude of the weight of fluid that is displaced by the body. This force enables the object to float or at least to seem lighter. Buoyancy is important for many vehicles such as boats, ships, balloons, and blimps.


calendar

title: Calendar

text: A calendar is a tool for organizing days. People use calendars to say when something happened, and for planning things that have not happened yet. The calendar gives the days names and numbers, called calendar dates. The dates are usually made based on how things in the sky seem to move. The year and month are based on motions of the Sun and moon. By knowing what day something happened or will happen, people have an easier life. Since the beginning of history, knowing when the seasons would start for crops was very important for farmer s. Calendar systems have a beginning time or era. The calendar era is often a religion-based event, such as the birth of Jesus, but it may be a political event such as a coronation or the founding of a state. Dates that are counted from the coronation are called "regnal". The three principal calendars most used today are the Gregorian, Hebrew, and Islamic calendars. Other calendar systems from many different parts of the world are also used.

chickpea

title: Chickpea

text: The chickpea (Cicer arietinum) is a yellow edible legume (bean). It can be used for cooking. The peas can be bought canned or dried. It was one of the earliest fruits to be grown. The first chickpea was grown in the Middle East about 7,500 years ago. The most popular place for chickpeas to grow is in Pakistan. In 2008, nearly 6 million tonnes of chickpeas were produced there. Because the growth is so popular there, it is also known as the Indian pea. Chickpeas contain a great deal of protein, zinc and folic acid. They can be an important part of a vegetarian or vegan diet, since they come from a plant. The dried bean is boiled and served whole or mashed, such as in the popular dish hummus. Chickpeas are ground into a flour, called "besan" or "gram" flour, used in South Asian cooking. File:Cicer arietinum 003.JPG| File:Chickpea pods.jpg File:Cicer arietinum20100417 08.jpg

cider

title: Cider

text: Cider (or cyder) is a drink made from fruit juice, most often from apples. In Europe and Oceania it is an alcoholic drink that is made from apple juice, through a process called fermentation. In the United States and parts of Canada, cider containing alcohol is called hard cider or alcoholic cider, while cider or apple cider means less-sweet, usually unfiltered, apple juice. In the United States and Canada people drink a special kind of cider around Halloween and Thanksgiving. This cider is usually unfiltered, rather thick, and it is often heated and spiced with cinnamon before drinking it. This is different from the cider in Europe, which usually is not heated.

conservative

title: Conservatism

text: Conservatism is a type of political belief that supports emphasis on traditions and relies on the individual to maintain society. The term was first used by François-René de Chateaubriand in 1818, during the Bourbon Restoration, which wanted to roll back the policies of the French Revolution. The term is associated with right-wing politics. It has been used to describe a wide range of views. There is no single set of policies that are regarded as conservative because the meaning of conservatism depends on a given place and time, although most Conservatives oppose Modernism in some way and want to go back to old values. In Western culture for example, Conservatives try to maintain things like organized religion, property rights, parliamentary government and family values.

text: A vertex is a corner. More than one vertex are called vertices. A vertex is a point where two or more lines, curves, rays, or sides meet, and is often represented by letters such as P , Q , R and S . For example, the vertex of an angle is the point where the two edges of the angle intersect, and a vertex of a cube is simply one of its corners—of which there are eight. The concept of vertex applies to both two-dimensional and three-dimensional geometrical objects. For example, a tetrahedron has four vertices, and a pentagon has five vertices.

When it is nighttime, that side of the Earth is facing away from the Sun. It takes 24 hours for the Earth to spin once, so that is one day, including the daytime and nighttime. This is mean solar time, measured relative to the Sun. There is also sidereal time, measured relative to the fixed stars. The sidereal day is a few minutes shorter.


diagonal

title: Diagonal

text: Diagonal is a kind of straight line. A diagonal line does not go straight up and down, or across left and right. It is a line that connects two corners of a shape. In mathematics, "diagonal" has different meanings. For example, in geometry a diagonal is any line that goes between the corners of a polygon. So a square has two diagonals, and a five-sided shape has five diagonals. In general the count of diagonal can be identified by a formula [n(n-3)]/2 where n is the total number of sides of shapes.

Ideas are also called inventions. Writers can invent characters, and then invent a story about them.


kelp

title: Kelp

text: Kelp is a type of marine seaweed. It is a brown algae. There are many different kinds of kelp. Kelp grow in large forests, usually near the surface of the water. It grows in nutrient rich saltwater. Some kelp grow very fast (up to 30 cm a day). Kelp can reach a length of up to 60 metres. The blades are kept afloat by gas-filled bladders. A common mistake people make is that kelp is a plant. It is not a plant, but a type of algae, which are different from plants. They do not use roots to stay in place. Instead, they use holdfasts, which are like anchors, that attach onto rocks. Kelp, like other plants, uses photosynthesis to get its nutrients. That is why it grows towards the sun, and in some kelp forests, it completely covers the surface of the water. Kelp plays an important role as food and habitat for fish and other forms. It may be eaten as a vegetable. Kelp is found in many places. People put it in aquariums. In the Monterey Aquarium there is a large forest of kelp. In some parts of the Pacific Ocean, sea urchins have eaten so much kelp that the kelp forests become urchin barrens. Kelp is in the Plant Kingdom, which has 5 subdivisions: Animals, Plants, Fungi, Protest, and Monera.


kestrel

title: Kestrel

text: The name kestrel is given to several different members of the falcon genus, Falco. Kestrels hover about over open country, and swoop down on prey, usually small mammals, lizards or large insects. Other falcons are more adapted to active hunting on the wing. In addition, kestrels have much brown in their plumage. Kestrels can fly in stationary air, even indoors in barns. While hovering they face towards any slight headwind. This leads to the common kestrel being called a "windhover" in some areas. Unusually for falcons, plumage often differs between male and female, although as usual with monogamous raptors the female is slightly larger than the male. This allows a pair to eat slightly different prey on their home range. Kestrels are bold, and have adapted well to humans. They nest in buildings and hunt by main roads. Kestrels do not build their own nests, but use nests built by other birds. Most kestrels form a distinct clade among the falcons, as suggested by comparison of mtDNA cytochrome b sequence data and morphology. This clade diverged from other Falco around the Miocene to Pliocene about 7–3.5 million years ago (mya). The most basal "true" kestrels are three species from Africa and its surroundings. About 2.5–2 mya, the main lineage of true kestrels emerged. This too seems to have evolved in Africa and subsequently spread across the Old World until they reached Australia some time during the Middle Pleistocene, less than one million years ago. This group contains several taxa found on Indian Ocean islands. A group of three mainly grey species from Africa and Madagascar are usually considered kestrels by their general shape and habits, but are probably distinct from the true kestrels discussed above. There is only one kestrel in the Americas, with a wide range of habitats. It is Falco sparverius. The male is more brightly coloured than usual for kestrels, with a reddish back and tail.


locker

title: Locker

text: A locker is a small compartment that is used to store things such as books, coats, etc. They are commonly found in schools. They are usually locked with a padlock or a built-in lock. Usually there is an array of lockers. Each user has his/her own key (or combination) and can not open other people's lockers. There is sometimes a master key used only by the manager which can open all of the lockers. The typical maximum padlock shackle thickness is 5/16 inch (8 mm), and the typical door thickness is 0.8 mm. High-security lockers typically have a 10 mm or more maximum shackle thickness and a 1.2 mm door thickness.

lute

title: Lute

text: The lute is a kind of musical instrument with strings. The lute is one of the ancestors of the classical guitar. A lute has an oval-shaped back, made of strips of wood. It has a flat front, with a neck attached to it. Early lutes had four strings or eight sets of two strings. Beneath these strings, there were strings tied to the neck, where the player pressed down to make the notes. These strings were called frets. The front part of the body is made of a flat piece of wood, and known as the sound board. It has a beautifully carved hole in the center which is called the rose. The lute was at first played by strumming or plucking with a pick. Later they were played with the fingers alone. During the Renaissance, bigger lutes were designed. Most lutes at this time had seven or eight sets of strings. New kinds of lutes were invented. One new kind of lute made in the Renaissance was the theorbo. Another kind was the archlute. In European classical music the lute was changed into the harpsichord and the mandolin. Today there are kinds of lute still being played in Greece, Turkey, and in Arabic-speaking countries. The Renaissance lute is also played today, in western countries, as well as a German lute that is played the same way as a guitar.

Most often, they are about in diameter, but they may be less than to over , while some glass marbles for art are over wide. Marbles can be used for games called marbles. They are often collected, both for fun and for their colors. In the North of England, the toys and the game are called "taws", with larger taws being called bottle washers after the use of a marble in Codd-neck bottles, which were often found for play. These toys can be used to make marble runs, a form of art, or they can be used in marble races, a kind of race using marbles.

Mitres are also worn by some clergy in the Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic churches.


molecule

title: Molecule

text: A molecule is the smallest amount of a chemical substance that can exist. If a molecule were split into smaller pieces, it would be a different substance. Molecules are made up of atoms that are stuck together in a particular shape or form. Not all combinations of atoms are equally possible; atoms make certain shapes in preference to others. Also, they have different valency. For example, oxygen atoms always have two bonds with other atoms, carbon atoms always have four bonds with other atoms, and nitrogen atoms always have three bonds with other atoms. In the kinetic theory of gases, the term molecule is often used for any gaseous particle regardless of its composition. According to this definition, noble gas atoms are considered molecules as they are in fact monoatomic molecules. In gases like air, the molecules are just flying around. In liquids like water, the molecules are stuck together but they can still move. In solids like sugar, the molecules can only vibrate. In the fourth state of matter known as plasma, the atoms are ionized and cannot form molecules. With a molecular formula, you can write down the numbers of all atoms in a molecule. For example, the molecular formula of glucose is C 6 H 12 O 6 . That means that one molecule of glucose is made up of six carbon atoms, twelve hydrogen atoms and six oxygen atoms.

oyster

title: Oyster

text: Oysters are a family of bivalves with rough, thick shells, the Ostreidae. Some other types of shellfish are also called 'oyster'. Many species are edible, and are usually served raw. They are also good when cooked. In the past, they were an important food source, especially in France and Britain. They used to grow in huge oyster beds, but were "overfished" in the 19th century. Nowadays they are more expensive, so eaten less often. Oysters are usually harvested before they are fully grown. Left to themselves, they do grow quite large. A recent example was an oyster which was 11 inches long (29cm) and 3.7 lbs in weight (1.7kg). The BBC report says "The family (firm) estimated it could be between '15 and 20 years old' due to its size. The world's largest oyster was 13.97 inches long (35.5cm) and 4.21 inches (10.7cm) in width. It was found in Denmark in December 2013, Guinness World Records said". Oysters are picked up from their muddy beds by dredging. The oysters are "shucked" from their shells before sale. Shucking is done with a short knife inserted between the upper and lower shell. The adductor muscle, which holds it closed, is cut away, and that releases the oyster. The oyster is sold loose but within its shell. Shucking method: *Insert the blade, with moderate force and vibration if necessary, at the hinge between the two valves. *Twist the blade until there is a slight pop. *Slide the blade upward to cut the adductor muscle which holds the shell closed. The seawater the oysters were in does not stay in the oyster. Oysters (and shellfish generally) are purified while still alive before sale. That starts after they are harvested. The oysters are put into tanks pumped with clean water for 48 to 72 hours. That protects the consumer from any foul bacteria that the oyster might have picked up from the sea or river water. Some of the unrelated 'oysters' are the pearl oyster, Pinctada, which is a clam, and a few mussels which look a bit like oysters when they are taken out of their shells.

perspiration

title: Sweat

text: Sweat, or perspiration, is a liquid made by the skin when the body is hot. Sweat is made in sweat glands under the surface of the skin. It comes out of tiny holes in the skin called pores. Sweat is mostly water, but it also contains salts. The body makes sweat to cool itself down. It is part of the body's thermoregulation. The sweat takes the heat from the body when it evaporates (turns to gas). Some people think sweat makes a person smell bad. Many people use special sprays to stop this from happening. Deodorants hide the odor of sweat. Anti-perspirants stop the body from sweating. Some deodorants use aluminium because it is a metal which is good at soaking up water. The sweat glands in human skin contains two different groups of sweat glands. These are the aocrine and merocrine sweat glands. Perspiration, or sweat, is the body's way of cooling itself, whether that extra heat comes from hard working muscles or from overstimulated nerves. The average person has over 4 million sweat glands in their skin. Sweat glands are distributed over the entire body, except for the lips, nipples and external genital organ parts. The sweat gland is in the layer of skin called the dermis along with other "equipment," like nerve endings, hair follicles for example.

tribune

title: Tribune of the plebs

text: Tribunes of the plebs were important officials in Ancient Rome. The plebeians (plebs) were the free Roman people who were not patricians. The tribunes provided a balance between the power of the Senate and the needs of the people. There were ten tribunes at any time, and they could act separately or together. These tribunes had the power to use the People's Assembly (the Concilium Plebis) to support the common people. They could summon the Senate, propose legislation and intervene on the behalf of plebeians in legal matters. Most important of all was the power to veto the actions of the Consuls and other magistrates, to protect the interests of the plebeians. An assault on any plebian tribune was against the law. Tribunes of the plebs were elected by the People's Assembly alone. They could be commoners, unlike all the other officials of the Roman Republic. Their role lasted for about 800 years, but under the Roman Empire they did not have real powers. They were in origin and style, a working part of the Roman Republic. Although a tribune could veto any action of the magistrates, Senate, or other assemblies, he had to be physically present in order to do so. Once the tribune was no longer present, the action could be completed as if the veto had not occurred. This meant that the tribunes' powers were limited to Rome itself, not the Republic in general.
