# Duke

A **Duke** is someone part of nobility. In monarchies, like the UK, the title has legal status, and is inherited in the male line.

The first English dukes were created by Edward III in 1337, when he gave his eldest son, Edward, the Black Prince, the title of Duke of Cornwall.

Dukes are formally referred to as 'The Duke of (place name)', and addressed as "Your Grace". On State occasions, dukes rank below Royal Dukes, and above Earls. This is called the order of precedence, because in procession to the opening Parliament, or on other state occasions, they walk in order of their rank.

The office or position of a duke is called a **dukedom**.

The wife of a duke is a **Duchess**. This is an honorary title, given for life to the lawfully wedded wife of a Duke. If she divorces and remarries a commoner, (person with no title) their children have no title. The children of a duke, on the other hand, do have honorary titles (so long as they are born in lawful wedlock). The eldest son may bear what is called a junior title which an ancestor was given before the dukedom was created. Other children would be called 'Lady' Jane (or other Christian name) and 'Lord' James (or other Christian name). Children use the family surname, not the Dukedom.

Historically, the land that is ruled by a duke is a duchy. The eldest son of a duke inherits the duchy when the duke dies. The word comes from the Latin word "dux", which means leader.
# Qiu Jin

**Qiu Jin** (born in 1875), was a Chinese revolutionary. She was a feminist, heroine, and martyr. Qiu fought for women's rights and fought against the ruling Qing Dynasty. She was beheaded by the Qing Dynasty's army in 1907 when she was 32 years old.

When she was a child, Jin did not like the stereotypes of women. Qiu read books about Chinese women warriors. For example, she read about Hua Mulan.

Qiu did not agree with the Confucian values saying men were more important than women. Many of her activities only acceptable for men. For example, Qiu learned to use swords and martial arts. She wrote poetry. She liked wine. Qiu also learned to make bombs.

Qiu's parents picked a man for her to marry. They moved to Beijing. Qiu was 28 when she left her kids and husband to study abroad. She started a magazine called the "Chinese Women’s Journal" (Zhongguo Nübao). Qiu also joined a secret criminal Chinese gang, known as the Triads. She started a school, but it really was a way to get students to fight in the revolution against the Qing Dynasty.

Another person who helped start the school was arrested and executed. Qiu knew she would be arrested. She did not run away to another country. Qiu also got arrested because she hid weapons and saved students from getting in trouble. Qiu was asked to write something before she died. She chose to write about the meaning of her name: Autumn. She was executed by the army.

# Wind instrument

Wind instrument
A **wind instrument** is a type of musical instrument where the player blows into (or over) a mouthpiece to produce sound. They typically fit into two categories: woodwind instruments and brass instruments. Woodwind instruments include oboe, clarinet, flute, and saxophone. The brass instruments include the bugle, trumpet, trombone, cornet and tuba.
# Paranoia

**Paranoia** is a mental health condition that affects a person's thoughts. A person with paranoia is called **paranoid**. Paranoia is a thought process heavily influenced by anxiety or fear, often to the point of irrationality and delusion.

A paranoid person's thinking is shaped by fear and anxiety. For example, the person may fear that other people are "out to get them" or are planning to hurt them. They may believe that video cameras are watching them, or that a certain group (like the police or CIA) is following them. They may also believe that other people can control their thoughts or use magic to hurt them. Even if these fears seem strange or absurd to others, they feel very real to the person with paranoia. They truly believe that they are in danger.

Paranoia is different from phobias. In a phobia, someone has an irrational fear, but does not blame anyone for this fear. A paranoid person will often make false accusations and say that something was intentional, when it was just coincidence or an accident.

If a person is truly paranoid, their fears must not be explained by common beliefs, like their religion. For example, some religions say that people can use magic to hurt others. So a person from one of those religions should not be diagnosed as paranoid just because he/she has this belief. They would also have to have other paranoid beliefs - which could not be explained by religious beliefs - to be diagnosed with paranoia.

Very often, people with paranoia also have other thought disorders, or mood disorders. Paranoia can be a symptom of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and other mental illnesses.

In everyday talk, people may use "paranoid" to mean more normal worries. For example, someone may call a friend paranoid for thinking that his teacher hates him.

# Road

Road construction in Turkey
A road made of gravel A **road** is a piece of land which connects two or more places. Usually, a road has been made easy to travel on. For example, by removing trees and stones so the ground is more level. Although, many roads are made of gravel and dirt, some are paved with concrete or bricks or stones, Roads, which are man-made paved or unpaved pathways for travel, exist primarily on Earth.

People have been making roads for a long time. Roman roads in Britain and the Inca road system are famous. Transport by boats on waterways was usually easier and faster than transport by road. In the industrial revolution, the railway was invented. A railway is a special type of road, using railway tracks. Roads are now usually made for wheeled vehicles, like cars, to travel on.

When traffic jams becomes a frequent problem, the road may be made wider or other roads built.

Road building and care is usually paid for by taxes. Some roads are toll roads, where people pay to use the road.
