When the first chapter was released, it had many positive reviews. ==Synopsis== You play as an ex-employee for Playtime Co., a company that produced popular toys. You can listen to VHS tapes throughout the game hinting to the game’s plot. When you leave the welcome center, you enter a room with a giant statue of Playtime Co.’s most famous toy, Huggy Wuggy. You then need to distribute power to the facility but when you are done with that and head back to Huggy’s room. He is gone, you then enter the innovation wing and find your other grabpack hand. You then go through the conveyor belt to reach the make a friend station. When you distribute power to the station, you are then attacked by Huggy Wuggy and chased through the conveyor belts by him. You then enter a giant poppy flower painted on the wall, leading to a toy named Poppy. You open its case, the screen goes black, and chapter 1 ends. ==Music== There are lots of songs in Chapter 1, the most popular one being No More Hugs, the song that plays when Huggy chases you. Poppy Playtime can be installed on Steam and other websites. ==VHS tapes== The first tape is called Laith Pierre closing and it is about trespassing and the security system. The second is about an interview with a worker at Playtime Co. The third is about people not knowing what they are doing. The fourth is called experiment 1006 and is about Huggy Wuggy's attacks on the workers. All of these tapes have different locations.

Title: Division by two Content: In mathematics, division by two is when a number is divided by two. Some cultures, like the ancient Egyptians, thought this was a different operation than division.. Some mathematicians up until the 16th century (1500-1599) thought this too.. Today division by two is handled specially in modern computer programming.. Division by two is also called halving, mediation, and dimidiation.. == Binary == In a binary number system, there are only two digits: 0 and 1. All other numbers are represented with those two digits. For example, "one" is 1, "two" is 10, "three" is 11, "four" is 100, and so on. Most of the time people use a number system with ten digits (the numbers 0 through 9.) This is called the decimal number system. Division by two in binary is very easy. It is done by dropping the last digit on the right of the number. This is called a "bit shift operation." For example, if we performed a bit shift operation on the binary number 100, we'd get 10. Since binary 100 is decimal 4, and binary 10 is decimal 2, this makes sense. Another example is performing a bit shift operation on 1101. This would leave us with 110, but we dropped a 1 from the end, not a zero. This also makes sense because 1101 in binary is 13 in decimal. If we divide 13 by 2, we get 6 with a remainder of 1 (we have 1 left over.) === Computers === Computers use the binary number system to store information. Information is broken up into tiny pieces called bits. Each bit is either a 0 or a 1. Because of this, the fastest and easiest way for a computer to do division is by a bit shift operations -- division by two. Replacing regular division with bit shifts is a way to do program optimization. (Program optimization is trying to make a program faster and more efficient.) In computer programming, the symbol `>>` is sometimes used to show a bit shift operation. In Java, we can ask the computer to do the problem 19\div2 by writing `19 >> 2`. This is the same as writing `19/2`. Both of these versions will give us the answer `9`. There is a problem when trying to do something a problem like -4\div2. In Java, if we write `-3/2`, the computer will tell us the answer is `-1`. But if we try to do `-3 >> 2`, the computer will say the answer is `-2`. This will happen every time we try to do a bit shift operation with one negative number. The reason for this is complicated, and has to do with the way negative binary numbers are saved by the computer. Even though it is fastest for computers to do division using bit shift operations, most computer code does not do it this way. This is because programmers want their programs to be portable and readable. Portable means that a program can be run on many different kinds of computers and operating systems. Readable means that the source code is easy to read and understand. Most of the time, the compiler (a program that changes source code into 0's and 1's that the computer can understand) will change the division into bit shifts automatically..

Title: Caps lock Content: thumb|the caps lock is on the left thumb|Picture of a caps lock key Caps lock is the name of a key on a computer keyboard. When you press this key, letters that you type will be capital letters (like this, "ABC"), instead of lowercase ("abc"). The caps lock key is usually above the Shift key and below the Tab key on the left side of the keyboard. However, some people prefer it to be in other locations. The way the caps lock key works is that once you press it, a light may come on, or you may get a message on the screen. This lets you know that text that you type will be in uppercase letters. When you press the key again, the light turns off, or another message may appear, saying that caps lock has been turned off and text you type will be back to lowercase letters. Some keyboards and typewriters have a key called shift lock. It is a lot like the caps lock key in that letters you type will be in uppercase instead of lowercase. But shift lock also does something else: when it is on, keys which have two symbols on them, such as the number keys in the top row, will print the symbol on top, instead of the symbol on the bottom. For example, pressing the key with the number 1 on it will print the exclamation mark ("!") instead of the number 1. The caps lock key does not do this; it only affects the letter keys. People who type a lot, such as those who use typewriters, use the shift key instead of the caps lock or shift lock keys unless they have to type many capital letters in a row. But there is also a neat trick you can do with the caps lock and shift keys: when caps lock is on, you can hold the shift key while typing and what you type will be in lowercase letters instead of capitals. This can be done on some computers, such as those running Microsoft Windows computers. Not all computers have a caps lock key. Some of those that don't have been made for the One Laptop Per Child program.

Title: Victor Horta Content: Victor, Baron Horta (6 January 1861 - 8 September 1947) was a Belgian architect and designer. John Julius Norwich said he was "undoubtedly the key European Art Nouveau architect." Horta is one of the most important names in Art Nouveau architecture. Some people say his Hôtel Tassel in Brussels was the first time the style was used on architecture. In 1932 King Albert I of Belgium gave Horta the title of Baron for his services to architecture. Four of the buildings he designed are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. ==Life and career== Horta had a great interest in music since childhood. In 1873 he went to study musical theory at the Ghent Conservatory.Horta: Art Nouveau to Modernism, Harry N Abrams, He was removed for bad behaviour. He then joined the Department of Architecture at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent instead. In 1878 Horta left for Paris. He found work with architect and designer Jules Debuysson in Montmartre. There he was inspired by the impressionist and pointillist artists, and also by the possibilities of working in iron and glass. When Horta's father died in 1880, he returned to Belgium and moved to Brussels. He married his first wife. He studied architecture at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts. In Brussels Horta made a friendship with Paul Hankar. He became an assistant for his professor Alphonse Balat, architect to Leopold II of Belgium. Together they designed the royal Greenhouses of Laeken, Horta's first work to use glass and iron. In 1884 Horta won the first Prix Godecharle to be awarded for Architecture. By 1885 Horta worked on his own. He was commissioned to design three houses. The same year he also joined the Central Society of Belgian Architecture. Over the next few years he was in a number of competitions for public work. He worked with sculptors (notably his friend Godefroid Devresse) on statuary and even tombs. He won a number of prizes. He thought the forms he made were highly practical and not artistic. During this period, Horta joined the freemasons. This gave him many clients when he returned to designing houses and shops in 1893. Horta was appointed Head of Graphic Design for Architecture at the Université Libre de Bruxelles in 1892. He became Professor of Architecture in 1893.Victor Horta - Biographie, Horta Museum, in French or Victor Horta - Biographie in Dutch He worked there until 1911. ==Heritage== Many of Horta's buildings were destroyed.

For example, scientists report new discoveries through a peer review process. This means that they ask other knowledgeable scientists (peers) to review their report, and check for any problems. The problems must be fixed before the report is released to other scientists. This process helps to maintain the trustworthiness of scientific discoveries. ==Related pages== * arXiv - This is a website that stores scientific papers before peer review approval

Title: Stimulus (psychology) Content: A stimulus in psychology is an energy change (such as light or sound) which is received by the senses. The usage changes somewhat according to which school of psychology is using it: *In classical conditioning and behaviorism, a stimulus is the basis for behavior. *In perceptual psychology it is the basis for perception."Stimulus". In: Richard L. Gregory (ed) The Oxford companion to the mind. Oxford University Press, 748. In this context, a distinction is made between the distal stimulus (the external, perceived object) and the proximal stimulus (the stimulation of sensory organs).Discovering psychology, Chapter 7: Sensation and perception. Annenberg Learner. *In experimental psychology, the term 'stimulus' is used to describe the event or object to which a response is measured. In this case, not everything that is presented to participants is a stimulus. For example, a fixation cross is not said to be a stimulus, because it merely serves to center subject's gaze at the center of the screen. Also, longer events are usually not called 'stimuli', even when a response to such an event is measured. A stimulus may be used to see if a person is in a coma and what type of coma it is.
