The legs and feet are white with black talons (nails of a bird). The osprey has a short tail and long, narrow wings. Males and females look similar, but males are often paler. In flight, the osprey raises its wings in an arch shape, making it look like a gull. == Conservation == === Scotland === Scotland is typical osprey habitat with lots of trees and lakes (called 'lochs').

Ospreys have returned every year to the protected nest at Loch Garten. More than 1.5 million people have been to see them. The number of ospreys in Scotland has increased a lot, but the population has been slow to spread. This is because ospreys often return to breed near to the place where they hatched.

The Whig party did not pick him to run for president in 1852. He ran for president in 1856 for the American Party but lost. ==Early life== Millard Fillmore grew up in a poor family. He worked hard to do well in school, and went to college. He got a job as a lawyer in 1823. In 1828 he was voted to be part of the New York congress, and made friends in the Whig Party. This helped him get chosen to run for vice president in 1848. ==Presidency== When he was vice president, Millard Fillmore was in charge of the United States Senate while it was fighting over a decision about slavery involving Texas and New Mexico. When he became president, the slavery issue was very intense (to the point where the southern states were close to choosing to not be a part of the United States anymore). Fillmore signed the Compromise of 1850 (five laws which would calm down the slavery issue by pleasing both the northern states and the southern states). Although the Compromise of 1850 made the northern states and the southern states get along, the peace did not last forever. In the late 1850s, the north and the south stopped getting along. California was made a part of the U.S. on September 9, 1850. It became the 31st state. His decision to sign the Compromise of 1850 made many of the people in his Whig Party upset at him. They stopped him from running for president in 1852. He started the first library at the White House. == After being president == After Fillmore, Franklin Pierce became the 14th president. Fillmore got a job in charge of the University of Buffalo. Fillmore joined the Know-Nothing Party and tried to run for president again, but the Know Nothing Party was not very successful.

Title: Orichalcum Content: right|250px|thumb|A reliquary box from 1000-1200 a.d. right|250px|thumb|An orichalcum sesterce coin from the Roman Empire. Orichalcum or aurichalcum, ὀρείχαλκος is the name of a metal or two different metals. Old writings from ancient Greece talk about orichalcum and the Romans made coins out of a metal they called orichalcum, but they might not have been the same metal. People today are not sure exactly what it was. Some scholars think orichalcum was the ancient Greek name for platinum. Others think it was an alloy, or mixture, of copper and either gold, tin, or zinc. Scientists examined Roman coins and found a mixture of copper and zinc. ==Name== The name orichalcum is from the Greek word for "mountain copper" or "mountain metal." Some people think name aurichalcum comes from the word aurum for "gold," but it does not. ==Greek orichalcum== In general, when ancient Greek writers wrote about orichalcum, they said it was a metal that looked like gold but that they did not know much else about it. To Homer, Hesiod and Plato, orichalcum was a metal from much earlier times that did not exist in their own time and place. In one of the Homeric Hymns, Homer writes about orichalcum earrings. He says the goddess Aphrodite wears them. Hesiod writes about orichalcum greaves, which are leg armor. Neither writer was talking about his own time and place. Plato wrote about orichalcum in his book Critias. In the book, Plato says orichalchum was in the ground of the legendary island of Atlantis. To the Atlanteans, it was the second-most-valuable metal, after gold. Plato says the Atlanteans put orichalcum on their city walls and temples. Plato calls orichalcum "only a name" in his own time, meaning he did not think he had ever seen orichalcum. ==Roman orichalcum== The ancient Romans also had a metal that they called orichalcum. Around the time the Roman Republic ended and the Roman Empire started, the Romans stopped making coins out of bronze and started making them out of orichalcum: asses coins, sestertii coins, dupondii coins and semisses coins. Roman orichalcum does corrode over time, the way iron rusts and silver tarnishes. == Making orichalcum== Scientists analyzed Roman coins and saw they were made of copper and zinc. During the early days of the Roman Empire, Romans invented a better way to make zinc-copper alloys. This way is called cementation. To do it, the metalworker has to heat the zinc and copper to exactly the correct temperature. Then there can be as much as 30% zinc in the orichalcum. ==In fiction== Orichalcum appears in many works of fiction, especially stories about Atlantis. It is in television shows, for example The Mysterious Cities of Gold and Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water. It is in video games, for example Castlevania: Curse of Darkness and Elder Scrolls.
Title: Nondeterminism Content: In computer science, a nondeterministic algorithm is an algorithm that does not give the same result each time it is used. Even for the same input, it may show different behaviors on different runs. This may be contrasted with a deterministic algorithm. The projection of an automaton almost always results in nondeterminism. Exhibiting nondeterminism; involving choices between indistinguishable possibilities. Being nondeterministic; involving arbitrary choices; necessitating the choice between various indistinguishable possibilities. Dependence on factors other than initial state and input. Moving from a single-processor to a multi-processor system often exposes hidden nondeterminism due to invalid assumptions about scheduling. There are several ways an algorithm may behave differently from run to run. Referring to the inability to objectively predict an outcome or result of a process due to lack of knowledge of a cause and effect relationship or the inability to know initial conditions. Non-deterministic definitions Non-predictive. Referring to the inability to objectively predict an outcome or result of a process due to lack of knowledge of a cause and effect relationship or the inability to know initial conditions. In telecommunications switching and routing, the unpredictability of a path between nodes. See also node, path, route, and switch. Category:Computing Category:Algorithms
