Title: Irregular galaxy Content: An irregular galaxy is a galaxy that does not have a distinct regular shape, like a spiral or an elliptical galaxy.Butz, Stephen D. 2002. Science of Earth systems. Cengage Learning, 107 Irregular galaxies do not fall into any of the regular types of the Hubble sequence. They do not have a bulge in the centre, nor any trace of spiral structure.Morgan W.W. & Mayall N.U. 1957. A spectral classification of galaxies. Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific. 69 (409): 291-303. They are quite common: they may make up a quarter of all galaxies. Most were once spiral or elliptical galaxies but were deformed by gravitational pull. Irregular galaxies also contain abundant amounts of gas and dust. There are three sorts of irregular galaxies:Gallagher J.S. & Hunter D.A. 1984. Structure and evolution of irregular galaxies. Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics. 22: 37-74. #An Irr-I galaxy (Irr I) is an irregular galaxy that features some structure but not enough to place it cleanly into the Hubble sequence. Some of the irregular galaxies are small spiral galaxies that are being distorted by the gravity of a larger neighbour. #An Irr-II galaxy (Irr II) is an irregular galaxy that does not appear to feature any structure that can place it into the Hubble sequence. #Dwarf irregulars,Grebel, Eva K. 2004. The evolutionary history of Local Group irregular galaxies. In McWilliam, Andrew & Rauch, Michael (eds) Origin and evolution of the elements. Cambridge University Press, 234-254. This type of galaxy may be important, as they often have a low level of metallicity and relatively high levels of gas. This is similar to the earliest galaxies in the Universe. They may be a local (and recent) version of the faint blue galaxies known to exist in deep field galaxy surveys. The Magellanic Cloud galaxies were once classified as irregular galaxies, but have since been found to contain barred spiral structures.

Title: Marco Polo Content: thumb|right|Portrait of Marco Polo Marco Polo was born in 1254 and died on January 8, 1324. He was an Italian trader and explorer. He was one of the first Europeans to explore Central Asia and East Asia. Many other explorers, including Christopher Columbus, looked up to him. He spoke four languages.McNeese, Tim. "Polo, Marco." World Book. World Book, 2013. 27 Feb. 2013. Marco Polo was known for the book, Travels of Marco Polo, where he talked about Asia. == Early life == Marco Polo was born in Venice, one of the most successful trading cities.Stockdale, Nancy. "Marco Polo." ABC-CLIO, ABC- CLIO, 2013. 27 Feb. 2013. Polo's mother died when he was very young and he was raised by his aunt and uncle. His father and uncle returned from their Silk Road travels when Marco was about 15 years old. Two years later, the three of them started their journey to Cathay (China). His family were well-known merchants, not explorers. He learned about writing, reading, and arithmetic, and how to do business. == Travels == Polo went on a 24-year trip to China with his father and uncle during the Mongol Dynasty. He left Venice at the age of 17 on a boat that went through the Mediterranean Sea, Ayas, Tabriz and Kerman. Then he travelled across Asia getting as far as Beijing. On the way there he had to go over mountains and through terrible deserts, across hot burning lands and places where the cold was horrible. He served in Kublai Khan's court for 17 years. He left the Far East and returned to Venice by sea. There was sickness on board and 600 passengers and crew died and some say pirates attacked. Nevertheless, Marco Polo survived it all. Some scholars believe that while Marco Polo did go to China, he did not go to all of the other places described in his book. He brought noodles back from China and the Italians invented different sizes and shapes and called it pasta. Polo returned to Venice with treasures like ivory, jade, jewels, porcelain and silk. == "Travels of Marco Polo" == Soon after Polo returned from his journeys he fought in a war against Genoa, got captured and put in prison. When he was in prison, he became friendly with a fellow prisoner, Rusticello, who was a writer of romances and novels. He told the writer about all his adventures, which became a book called The Travels of Marco Polo. The published version was written by Rustichello da Pisa, based on what Polo had told him. It became famous throughout Europe. In the book he said that Kublai Khan's wealthy new empire had a postal system. He also talked about the Chinese people. China used paper money that was made from mulberry bark.

Until 27 May 2018, the trains only ran on the North South Line and the new Tuas West Extension of the East West Line, where the new train signalling system was turned on. This is because these new trains were installed with only new signalling system, and the rest of the East West Line did not have the new signalling system turned on yet. From 28 May 2018, these trains are now able to run on the East West Line. All 45 trains are currently running, and most of them are housed in Tuas depot. These trains were built by Kawasaki Heavy Industries and CSR Sifang. 45 six-carriage trains, totalling 270 carriages, were built in China.

Title: Broom Content: thumb|Broom A broom is a cleaning tool. It consists of stiff fibres attached to, and roughly parallel to, a cylindrical handle, the broomstick. In the context of witchcraft, "broomstick" is likely to refer to the broom as a whole. A smaller whisk broom or brush is sometimes called a duster. ==History of broom design== Brooms have changed very much in their construction, since they developed from ad-hoc use of branches and bundles of several natural fibres. Originally, all brooms were round, a shape that is easy to construct but inefficient for actually sweeping. Brooms could be attached to a handle, either short for a whisk broom, or long for a broom used to sweep the floor or fireplace. The word for the tool was originally besom, broom simply being the material of which it was normally made. The fibres used in modern brooms are from broom corn. They are long, straight, durable, and bound together in the plant. The newest major change is the flat broom, invented by the Shakers in the 1800s, which has far more width for pushing dirt and nearly all brooms produced today are flat brooms. ==Brooms and witchcraft== Brooms have long been connected with witchcraft, almost universally portrayed as medieval-style round brooms and associated with female witches. Despite the association with women, in 1453, the first known case of claiming to have flown on a broomstick is recorded, confessed by the male witch Guillaume Edelin.Man, Myth and Magic: An Illustrated Encyclopedia of the Supernatural. 1970, edited by Richard Cavendish. ===In Literature and Poetry=== *In the Bible, Luke 15:8 "The Parable of the Lost Coin", the broom is used as a symbol for women's work. "Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Does she not light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it?" *In many works of fiction, broomsticks are pictured as a means of air transport for witches. A broom is usually flown with the brush behind the rider. *The Harry Potter book series is distinctive in portraying magical flying brooms as used equally by both sexes, and especially prominently by Quidditch players as analogues of polo ponies. *Many toys and costume accessories have been made in the form of brooms. ==Related pages== *Mop

Title: NHS targets Content: The National Health Service measures how well it is doing by setting what are called targets. These are things that can be counted. The targets are changed over time. The targets, and how they are measured, are different in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The target which gets most attention is the four-hour target in emergency departments. People should be seen, treated, and admitted to the hospital or sent home in under four hours. This was first measured in 2004. Since 2010 the number of people waiting more than 4 hours has gone up every year. July 2015 was the last month the target was met for 95% of patients in England. There were plans to change the target but in November 2022 it was to stay for at least 2 more years. thumb|Percent of patients in English A&E; departments waiting over 4 hours, monthly, 2011-2018 In December more than 54,500 patients waited over 12 hours in emergency departments in England after doctors decided they needed a hospital bed. That is the highest-ever number and almost treble the figure for May last year. The Royal College of Emergency Medicine found that people over 80 were spending 16 hours in emergency departments waiting for care or a bed. In 2021 it was 9 hours. Such long waits mean people are less likely to recover. In the winter of 2022/3 there were long delays when ambulances arrived at hospitals and attempted to hand patients over to emergency staff. In January 2023 Rishi Sunak said he would improve ambulance performance so an average response time of 30 minutes for category 2 emergency calls such as heart attacks and strokes would be met in 2023/24. In December, patients waited over 90 minutes. The official target is 18 minutes.

Title: Alkali Content: In chemistry, an alkali is an aqueous (from water) solution with a pH value of more than 7. The word 'Alkali' comes from the Arabic 'qali' meaning 'from the ashes' since ashes mixed with water used as cleaning products (such as soaps) are made of alkali materials An alkali is where a base is dissolved in water. Often it is the salt of an Alkali metal An alkali is the opposite to an acid and can be neutralised (brought down to pH 7) by adding acid. == Characteristics == * It feels soapy * It is corrosive (it can burn your skin away) * The higher the number is over 7 on the pH scale the stronger the alkali is. * Highly soluble (can be dissolved) in water * They have a bitter taste * Turns red litmus paper blue * Can conduct electricity due to the presence of mobile ions * Is blue or purple on universal indicator == Strength == Like acids, alkalis can be weak or strong, depending on the nature and the concentration of the ionic salt composing it. The strength of an alkali can be found using universal indicator. Also like acids, the strength of an alkali is rated using the pH scale. For example, soap and toothpaste contain weak alkalis, while cleaning products often contain strong ones. 250px|thumb|Sodium Hydroxide == Examples of common Alkalis == * Sodium hydroxide, NaOH * Potassium hydroxide, KOH * Calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2 * Aqueous ammonia, NH3 (aq) == Uses of common Alkalis == * Sodium hydroxide is used to make paper, detergents and soap. * Potassium hydroxide is used by farmers to make acidic soil more alkaline so that plants will grow better in it, and is also used as the electrolyte in alkaline, Ni- Cd, and Ni-MH batteries. * Calcium hydroxide is used to neutralize acidic soil. * Ammonium hydroxide is used as a cleansing agent. == Oxides and Hydroxides == Metal oxides and metal hydroxides are two types of base. When neutralised (an acid is added) they produce a salt and water. The type of salt produced depends on the acid and base. ==Related pages== * Base * Acid

Title: Human migration Content: :For the general concept of species moving around, see migration. For people moving data around see data migration. thumb|18-year old mother from Oklahoma, who migrated to California, with her child. Photo from 1937. Human migration is people moving from one place to another to stay there. It often happens in large numbers. Migration can be within countries or between countries. Humans are known to have migrated extensively throughout history and prehistory. Sometimes, the movement is voluntary, but sometimes, people are forced to move. They may suffer warfare, religious and political persecution, famine, and other natural disasters. When people are forced to move, they are refugees. Many refugees are illegal immigrants and more than half are children and women. They may live in extreme poverty, lacking food, shelter, clothing, education and medical care. ==Urbanization(rural to urban migration)== Rural- urban migration, or urbanization, is the movement from country areas to towns and cities. There are many reasons for people leaving the countryside. Often, they are overpopulation, high birth rates, and starvation. Mechanization has caused a reduction in jobs available in the countryside. Farming is hard work, with long hours and little pay. Many are subsistence farmers. In developing countries, a lack of money means a lack of machinery. Natural disasters, such as droughts, hurricanes, floods and volcanic eruptions, destroy villages and crops. There is a lack of services like schools and hospitals in the countryside. People move because they are looking for better-paid jobs and a higher quality of life. They have a better chance of services such as schools, medical treatment and entertainment. People are also attracted often by the advantages of a cosmopolitan lifestyle such as shops, restaurants, theaters, and nightlife. Many arrive with little money and so canmot buy or rent a house, even if one is available. They must usually make a temporary shelter with cheap or usef materials. Some give up and go home. Many children of migrant worker struggle for education. In the new country, they often are not integrated and are treated like an underclass. However, they are needed even if the local population doe not like immigrants because they compete for the same jobs. More people means more traffic and more crime. Immigrants help to build up cities, provide cheap labour, invest money, buy products and services, pay tax, and help companies compete. ==Ancient times== The Proto- Indo-Europeans migrated many times between 4000 and 1000 BC, according to the Kurgan hypothesis. ==Modern times== The movement of populations in modern times has continued under the form of both voluntary migration within one's region, country, or beyond, and involuntary migration, which includes slave trade, human trafficking, and ethnic cleansing. The people who migrate are called migrants or, more specifically, emigrants, immigrants or settlers, depending on the historical setting, circumstance, and perspective. Many people have died while migrating.
