Title: Vinegar Content: Vinegar is a liquid containing mainly water and acetic acid and used mostly in cooking. It can be made from wine or other liquids containing alcohol, like cider, fermented fruit juices, or fermented malt. Ethanol is oxidized from the liquid, resulting in vinegar. Vinegar made from dates is a traditional product of the Middle East. It can also be made through the use of certain bacteria. Vinegar contains about 5% of Acetic acid. The acid makes it sour. In cooking, it is often used as a condiment to add to salad, fish, french fries and vegetables like pickles and cabbage. It is much used in salad dressings. The pH of vinegar depends on how much acid is in it. Apple cider vinegar is typically between pH 4.25 and 5.00 if undiluted. Distilled vinegar has a pH of around 2.4.

Title: Numidian language Content: thumb|Nubian writing, in Morocco The Numidian language, which is also known as Old Libyan, or simply Libyan is a language that was spoken in North Africa. Texts have been found from around the 3rd century BC to the 3rd century AD. While the writing system has been mostly deciphered, the language itself is unknown. Today, it is though to be an ancestor of the Berber languages. There are some texts that are multilingual (that is: the same text in more than one language). Despite this, the language itself is mostly unknown. == The script == thumb|Thugga inscription: the text on the left is Punic Today, about 1200 texts are known, spread across North Africa. Many of the texts are from modern-day Tunisia, and the areas of Algeria, bordering Tunisia. In this large area, there are two main forms, an eastern form, occurring from Algeria eastwards, and a western form, occurring elsewhere. * The eastern form is almost completely deciphered, and can be read. The meaning of 22 of the 24 symbols of the alphabet is known. The meaning was found because of a bilingual text (in Punic and Libyan) at the Libyco-Punic Mausoleum of Dougga.The mausoleum is in Tunisia, and dates from the 2nd century BC. * The western form has more symbols, and cannot yet be read. There are 13 extra symbols, with unknown/disputed meaning. This variant is known as "Libyan-Berber script". As of 2021, about 100 texts are known. Most of them are short inscriptions on steles. * There may have been a third form in the Sahara. Modern Berber languages probably developed from that third form. Modern Berber languages kept most of the writing system, which is called Tifinagh today. People don't know if the two or three variants were the same language or different languages.

Title: Tomoe Gozen Content: was a female samurai who lived in Japan. When Tomoe Gozen was a girl who was taught the skills of an upper-class Japanese woman: writing, musical theatre, archery, horseback riding andfencing. She became a skilled horseman and brave warrior.Nussbaum, Louis Frédéric et al. (2005). "Tomoe Gozen" in , p. 984 She became a concubine of Minamoto no Yoshinaka when she was a teenager. When Tomoe Gozen was about 28 years old, she fought in the Gempei War (1180–1185). In the Battle of Awazu (February 1184), Minamoto no Yoshinaka was killed by his cousin Yoritomo. Tomoe's reaction to this is not really known. Some people have theories about what might have happened to her. Some think she may have fled from the Gempei War or she may have continued fighting after his death. She also might have been asked to go by Yoshinaka (who believed that his honor would be destroyed if he was killed by a woman) when he realized he would be killed. After this time, historians do not know what happened. Yoritomo's friend Yoshimori forced Tomoe to marry him. But Yoshinori died before Tomoe gave birth to a son. According to legend, their son was Asahina Yoshihide. He grew up to be a famous samurai. Tomoe joined a nunnery, where she stayed for the rest of her life. Today, Tomoe Gozen is a role model for many Japanese women.Stockdale, Nancy. "Tomoe Gozen." World History: Ancient and Medieval Eras. ABC-CLIO, 2013.

Title: Coffin ship Content: Coffin ships transported Irish immigrants to America and other colonies during the Great Irish Famine (1845-1852). They were the cheapest way to cross the Atlantic but it was a miserable and dangerous journey. The conditions on board were horrible because the ships were so crowded. Also, there was little food and water. There were often diseases on board. One third (30%) of the passengers died before the arrival in Canada or the USA. Legend says sharks liked to follow coffin ships because the crew threw the dead bodies overboard.John Fahey, Survival (USA: John L. Fahey, 2015), p. 6
Title: Vibration Content: Vibration means quickly moving back and forth (or up and down) about a point of equilibrium.Tongue, Benson 2001. Principles of vibration. Oxford University Press. The vibration may be periodic (having a pattern) or random. Something that is vibrating may shake at the same time. If it vibrates in a regular way, it may produce a musical note because it can make the air vibrate. This vibration will send sound waves to the ear and to the brain. In structural engineering including earthquake engineering, vibrations may be bad. They may cause the structure to fail. The time it takes a vibrating object to go back and forth completely is the period. The number of back-and-forth movements in one second is its frequency, measured in Hertz (Hz). The farthest possible distance from the equilibrium point is the amplitude. == Types of vibration == Free vibration occurs when vibration is set off with a push and allowed to vibrate freely. Examples of this type of vibration are pulling a child back on a swing and then letting go or hitting a tuning fork and letting it ring. The mechanical system will then vibrate at a 'Natural frequency' and gradually wind down. Forced vibration is when an alternating force or motion is applied to a mechanical system. Examples of this type of vibration include *a shaking washing machine due to an imbalance. *transportation vibration (caused by a combination of truck engine, springs, road). *vibration of a building during an earthquake. In forced vibration the frequency of the vibration is the frequency of the force or motion applied. The size of the effect depends on the actual mechanical system. ==Related pages== *Acoustics *Oscillation *Wave (physics) *Vibration isolation *Vibration control *Vibrato

Title: Strabo Content: StraboStrabo ("squinty") was a term employed by the Romans for anyone whose eyes were distorted or deformed. The father of Pompey was called "Pompeius Strabo." A native of Sicily so clear-sighted that he could see things at great distance as if they were nearby was also called "Strabo." (; 63/64 BC – ca. AD 24) was a Greek historian, geographer and philosopher. == Life == thumb|150px|A page from Isaac Casaubon's 1620 edition of Geographica Strabo was born in a rich family from PontusGeography Book XII Chapter 3 Section 15, "Amaseia, my fatherland." which had become part of the Roman Empire a short time before.Pontus fell to the Roman general Pompey in 63 BC and after the murder or suicide of Mithridates VI of Pontus was broken up into smaller provinces in 64 BC. Strabo in Book 12 Chapter 3 Section 41 states that the Romans took possession of Bithynia "a little before my time", setting the date of his birth to after 63 BC. His mother was Georgian. He studied under several geographers and philosophers. Later he made long travels to Egypt and Kush, among others. It is not known when his Geography was written, though comments within the work itself place the finished version within the reign of Emperor Tiberius. Strabo's History is nearly completely lost. Although Strabo quotes it himself, and other classical authors mention that it existed, the only surviving document is a fragment of papyrus now in possession of the University of Milan (renumbered [Papyrus] 46). Several different dates have been proposed for Strabo's death, but most of them place it shortly after 23. == The Geography == thumb|right|Map of Europe according to Strabo Strabo is mostly famous for his 17-volume work Geographica, which presented a descriptive history of people and places from different regions of the world known to his era. It is an important source of information on the ancient world.
Title: Structured settlement Content: A Structured settlement is an insurance or financial arrangement that is negotiated to end a lawsuit. It is a legal agreement through which an insurance company agrees to make regular payments to a specific individual over a period of time. Structured settlements created as a way for insurance companies to payout settlements in installments as opposed to large lump sums.Structured Settlements and Periodic Payment Judgements. New York, NY: Law Journal Press. pp. 1–36. Structured settlements may benefit injured people whose settlements might result in their owing taxes, by allowing them to reduce or delay tax payments. They may also benefit younger people or disabled people by providing periodic payments of money over an extended period of time. Structured settlements require the paper holder (a name for the person who receives payments from the settlement) to wait before they will get money, by spreading payments over a number of years. However there are companies offering to buy such a structured settlement for upfront money. For example, a company might offer to buy a settlement that would be paid in 20 yearly payments for a one-time payment of lower value. Such financing may need to be approved by judge and the insurance company. In the United States, the sale of a structured settlement may result in tax liability under the Internal Revenue Code.

Title: First-class cricket Content: First-class cricket is the highest-standard international/domestic matches in cricket. ==Definition== A first-class match is one of three or more days' scheduled duration between two sides of eleven players each. It is officially adjudged to be worthy of the status by virtue of the standard of the competing teams. Matches must allow for the teams to play two innings each, although in practice a team might play only one innings or none at all. First-class cricket, along with historical single-wicket and modern limited-overs forms, is one of the highest-standard forms of cricket. The etymology of "first-class cricket" is unknown, but it was used loosely before it acquired official status in 1895, following a meeting of leading English clubs. At a meeting of the Imperial Cricket Conference (ICC) in 1947, it was formally defined on a global basis. A significant omission of the ICC ruling was any attempt to define first-class cricket retrospectively. That has left historians, and especially statisticians, with the problem of how to categorise earlier matches, especially those played in Great Britain before 1895. The solution put forward by the Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians (ACS) is to classify all pre-1895 matches of a high standard as important matches. ==Test cricket== Test cricket is the highest standard of cricket. It is a form of first-class cricket. Although the term "first-class" is mainly used to refer to domestic competitions. A player's first-class statistics include any performances in Test matches. ==Bibliography== * * * * * * Wisden Cricketers' Almanack, 27th edition, editor Charles F.

Title: Anish Kapoor Content: Sir Anish Kapoor (born 12 March 1954) is a British-Indian sculptor. He was born in Mumbai. He works in London. His most famous sculpture is the Cloud Gate, a bean-shaped sculpture in Grant Park, Chicago. ==Honors== Kapoor won the Turner Prize and Premio Duemilia. In 2013, Queen Elizabeth II knighted Anish Kapoor. ==Black paint fights== Anish Kapoor is also famous for a fight with other artists about black paint. When scientists invented a material called "Vantablack", Kapoor made a deal with them: He bought exclusive rights. This means he paid the company that owned Vantablack to let him be the only artist allowed to use Vantablack in art. Vantablack could be used to paint something so black that a flat circle would look like a deep hole. Other artists were angry with Kapoor because they wanted to use this paint too. One artist, Stuart Semple, made other paints, for example "Pinkest Pink" and "Better Black", and wrote on his website that Kapoor could not have any. Anyone buying the paint had to promise not to give any to Kapoor. Kapoor got some Pinkest Pink anyway and put a picture of himself on Instagram. == Artwork == File:El gran árbol y el ojo (Anish Kapoor).jpg|El gran árbol y el ojo File:Anish Kapoor 4188.JPG|Anish Kapoor 4188 File:Anish Kapoor 4199.jpg|Anish Kapoor / Istanbul File:Sky Mirror (for Hendrik) 2017, Anish Kapoor, photo Peter Cox (2019).jpg|Sky Mirror (for Hendrik) 2017 File:'Sky Mirror' by Anish Kapoor - geograph.org.uk - 2329829.jpg|'Sky Mirror' by Anish Kapoor File:Anish Kapoor sculpture.jpg|Anish Kapoor sculpture File:Bilbao - Museo Guggenheim - Tall Tree and the Eye (Anish Kapoor) 5.JPG|Bilbao - Museo Guggenheim - Tall Tree and the Eye (close up) File:Bilbao - Museo Guggenheim, Tall Tree and the Eye (Anish Kapoor) 3.jpg|Bilbao - Museo Guggenheim, Tall Tree and the Eye
Title: Welsh orthography Content: The Welsh language is written in a version of the Latin alphabet.

Most important market for the constructor remained however England that took the biggest part of the production, followed by the Netherlands and France. From 1908 Minerva got a worldwide Knight licence. The Knight motor was a motor without valves, developed by Charles Y Knight in the United States. These motors were extremely silent. The company did well in several automobile racing competitions in Europe.

Title: Druze Content: Druze (; ; Durūz) is an Abrahamic religion that believes in one God. Druze is related to Islam and Christianity but more based on philosophy. The religion was founded by Hamza ibn Ali, who preached that Al-Hakim, a ruler of Egypt, was a "Manifestation of God". The name Druze probably comes from Darazi, a preacher who was expelled from the Druze religion, because he preached that Al-Hakim was literally God. Its adherents, called Muwahiddun are an Arabic- speaking people of the Middle East. There are more than 500,000 Muwahiddun. Most of them live in Syria and Lebanon. Some have emigrated to the United States and Canada. Although sometimes many Muwahiddun consider themselves part of Shia Islam, in Israel they are considered part of a different ethnic and religious group within the Arabic-speaking minority. Muwahiddun in Lebanon had a major political influence and were the rulers of Lebanon before the 1860s. After the 1860s, they shared the ruling of Mount Lebanon with the Maronites and were later considered the 4th major religious sect after independence. They played a key role in fighting against the Lebanese Christian right during the early 1980s. Muwahiddun ended their fighting against the Lebanese Christian right in late 1990. In 1990 and 1991, they gained representation in Lebanon's government in accordance with a 1989 peace agreement.

Title: Gambling addiction Content: thumb A gambling addiction is when someone is obsessed with gambling despite the negative consequences. Gambling addictions often puts the person in risk of losing everything. People with this illness often think about suicide more than the general population. Many people use gambling as a way to get away from their terrible lives and to gain satisfaction. In many ways, gambling addiction is similar to other addictions (such as the addiction to alcohol or the addiction to illegal drugs). Someone with a gambling addiction often * Needs to gamble with more and more money to satisfy themselves * Has made repeated unsuccessful efforts to cut back * Is always gambling * Persists to win back their losses * Has jeopardized or lost relationships * Relies on others to provide money to provide financial support Gambling addiction is a serious disease difficult to overcome. In most cases, it is treated through therapy and counseling. In some cases, specific drugs can help. There is no definite cure. Research demonstrates how the brain can get addicted to gambling. There is also evidence older people are more likely to become gambling addicts. Recently, the problem of gambling has become extremely important due to the ubiquitous distribution of cash slot machines, the opening of many casinos, as well as bookmakers (including online). All of them are beautifully designed, which enhances the suggestive effect of an easy winning opportunity in a short time and a constant desire to recoup and win more. Slot machines have long been widespread throughout the world. In the United States, according to R. Volberg (1996), the number of “problem players” - addictive gamblers so dependent on slot machines that their lives are completely subordinated to this passion - reaches 5% of the population. Data from other researchers (Ladouceur et al., 1999) indicate that in the first half of the 1990s alone, the number of problem players in Canada increased by more than 75%. Covid-19 impacted gambling significantly. 68% of actively engaged gamblers have spent more money online since lockdown began. These frequent online gamblers are already vulnerable to addiction, and their behaviour in 2020 has been seriously impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. But, with 40% of the population experiencing a decrease in their disposable income, it’s possible that infrequent betters might look to online gambling as a quick solution for financial difficulty.

The largest specimens measured long and weighed == Hunting and diet == thumb|Green anaconda slithering in the grass All snakes are carnivores (meat-eaters). Anaconda eat 4 to 5 times each year. This is because it takes them 3 to 4 months to digest their food. Anacondas normally hunt at night. Anacondas kill by constricting (squeezing) the prey until it can no longer breathe. They may also drown their prey. Like all snakes, they swallow the prey whole. They swallow it head first. The anaconda's top and bottom jaws are attached to each other with stretchy ligaments/b This lets let the snake swallow animals wider than itself. Snakes do not chew their food. They digest it with strong acids in their stomach. Anacondas eat pigs, deer, caiman (a type of crocodilia), birds, fish, rodents (like the capybara and agouti) and other animals. After eating a large animal, the anaconda does not needs food for a long time/ It will rest for weeks after eating. The young (called neonates) can care for themselves soon after birth. This includes hunting. At this age, they are mostly defenseless against large predators. They eat small rodents (like rats and mice), baby birds, frogs and small fish. == Other species == There are four species in the genus Eunectes:
