Pig is a jeopardy (risk) dice game played with one die. In jeopardy dice games, a player decides to "roll" or "hold" (stop rolling). A player that rolls risks a turn total, and may gain a higher turn total or score nothing. A player that holds scores the turn total. John Scarne wrote about Pig as a common dice game in 1945. Optimal (perfect) play has been computed.  Teachers often use Pig for fun lessons. Rules. On a player's turn, a player can roll or hold: The first player to score 100 or more points wins. Example play. For example, Ann begins a turn with a roll of 5. She could hold and score 5 points, but she decides to roll again. Next, Ann rolls a 2. She could hold with a turn total of 7 points (2 + 5 = 7), but she decides to roll again. Next, Ann rolls a 1 ("pig"). She must end her turn. Her score does not change. She hands the dice to the next player, Bob. Bob rolls a 4, 5, 3, 5, and 5. He then decides to hold. Bob adds 4 + 5 + 3 + 5 + 5 = 22 points to his score.

Hebephilia means when grown-ups feel strong and ongoing sexual attraction to children who are starting to go through changes in their bodies (puberty). These children are usually between 11 and 14 years old, and their bodies are growing but not fully developed. Hebephilia is different from pedophilia, which is a sexual attraction to younger children who have not started puberty, and different from ephebophilia, which is an attraction to older teenagers aged 15 to 18. The ages for hebephilia are not exact because puberty starts and ends at different times for different children. Most girls begin puberty around age 10 or 11, and most boys start around 11 or 12. Because of this, some definitions mix the ages of pedophilia, hebephilia, and ephebophilia. For example, some medical guides, like the DSM-5, say prepubescent ages can go up to 13, and others, like the ICD-10, include early puberty in the meaning of pedophilia. Some experts believe it is important to separate sexual attraction to children before puberty from attraction to children in early or mid-puberty. A study led by Ray Blanchard in 2009 showed that men who committed sex crimes could be grouped by the ages of the children they preferred, using a test that measures arousal. Blanchard suggested the DSM-5 should split pedophilia into narrower parts, including hebephilia. However, this idea was debated and not accepted. Many researchers disagree on whether hebephilia should be considered a mental disorder or a type of paraphilia.

Ephebophilia is when an older adult is sexually attracted to post-pubescent teenagers or adolescents but still biologically adults—usually those in the age range 14–18. Adults with this attraction are called "ephebophiles". Ephebophilia is not just the sexual attraction to teenage partners but is when an adult prefers such sexual partners. Specific words are used by scientists for chronophilias, which is when people are mostly or only sexually attracted to specific age groups. Along with "ephebophilia", another example is "hebephilia", which means that a person is mostly or only sexually attracted to younger pubescent people. The word "pedophilia" means that a person is mostly or only sexually attracted to pre-pubescent children; but the term "pedophilia" is commonly misused to refer to any sexual interest in legally minors under the average legal age of majority of 18 even if they're post-pubescent, and this is also due to the fact that the age of majority (in the states where it is 18 but in other cases it can be higher or lower) and the age of consent are very often confused in the West as the same also due to the fact that in some states they can both coincide (confusion perpetuated also by media, including entertainment), and this confusion and misuse of the words can cause not only serious cases of ageism but also severe legal repercussions involving slander or/and defamation. Also, unlike pedophilia, ephebophilia is not classified as a psychiatric diagnosis or disorder.
An oblate spheroid is a sphere-like shape that gives the appearance of being flattened, to some degree, on the top and bottom of the object so that the circumference around the poles is less than the circumference around the equator. The Earth is an oblate spheroid, as are at least a few other planets. An oblate spheroid is a type of ellipsoid. Oblate spheroids have rotational symmetry around an axis from pole to pole. An example of an oblate spheroid is an M&amp;M. Many planets, including the Earth and Saturn, are oblate spheroids. The difference between a sphere and the Earth's shape is small, only a difference of about 0.33%. Flattening of astronomical objects. Stars spin, and some spin very fast. The faster the spin, the flatter the oblate spheroid. The Sun rotates at 2 kilometers per second and neutron stars have speeds of thousands of kilometers per second. In other words, the Earth is a spheroid because it rotates. Gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn are flattened by rotation more than the Earth. Origin. In 1687 Isaac Newton published the "Principia". He included a proof that a rotating self-gravitating fluid body in equilibrium takes the form of an oblate ellipsoid of revolution (a spheroid). The amount of flattening depends on the density and the balance of gravitational force and centrifugal force.
Venice and Dalmatia were an Italian city-state and an eastern adriatic region very much related from the Middle Ages until the 19th century. Middle Ages. Venice influenced Dalmatia commercially from the times of Charlemagne. At the end of the first millennium the Republic of Venice started to conquest Dalmatia. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, Illyrian towns on the Dalmatian coast continued to speak Latin. Their language evolved relatively independent from other Romance languages. It became a distinct language called "Dalmatian language". The earliest reference on the language dates from the 10th century. According to the linguist Matteo Bartoli about 50,000 people spoke it at that time. It was spoken along the eastern Adriatic in the Dalmatian coast from Fiume (Rijeka) as far south as Kotor (Cattaro) in Montenegro.The Dalmatian speakers lived mainly in the coastal towns of Zadar, Trogir, Split, Dubrovnik and Kotor and on the islands of Krk, Cres and Rab. Each of the cities had a local dialect. "Vegliot" was spoken on the island of Krk. "Ragusan was" spoken at Dubrovnik We know about the Dalmatian dialect of Ragusa from two letters, from 1325 and 1397. They show a language influenced heavily by Venetian. The available sources include hardly 260 Ragusan words. Surviving words include "pen" (bread), "teta" (father), "chesa" (house) and "fachir" (to do). They were quoted by an Italian, Fillipo Diversi, the head of school of Ragusa in the 1430s. The "Republic of Ragusa" had at one time an important fleet. We know that the language was in trouble in the face of Croatian expansion. The Ragusan Senate decided that all debates had to be held in "lingua veteri ragusea" (ancient Ragusan language). The use of the "lingua sclava" (Croatian)
Derby Carriage and Wagon Works was built by the Midland Railway. They built it in Derby, England The building began at Derby Works in 1840. This was when the North Midland Railway, the Midland Counties Railway and the Birmingham and Derby Railway made engine sheds for their Tri Junct Station. These three merged in 1844 to form the Midland Railway.

Viscosity index or VI is measure of the temperature at which a lubricating oil works properly. The VI scale goes from 0 to 100, with 0 being the worst, and 100 being the best. New products are now better than when the scale was first made, so some new products have scores as high as 400. Lubricating oil is meant to reduce friction between two surfaces. If it is too viscous the oil will be thick and sticky and need too much energy to keep the parts moving. If the oil is too thin, then the parts will rub together and create friction. What is needed is an oil that has just the right amount of viscosity to keep the two surfaces apart. Oil becomes less viscous as the temperature goes up. In an automobile engine, the oil needs to be viscous at a range of temperatures. It needs to work when the engine is first started and is cold, and keep working when the engine gets very hot, perhaps as much as 200 °C. The best oils, with a high viscosity index score, will keep their viscosity the same across the temperature range. The scale was made up by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE).

In Your House was a series of professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming shows first made by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now called WWE) from 1995 to 1999. The original idea was in months where the WWF was not producing a major PPV event (WrestleMania, King of the Ring, SummerSlam, Survivor Series, and Royal Rumble which ran for three hours) they would produce a two hour PPV event for a lower price of $19.95. When World Championship Wrestling (WCW) started producing three hour PPV's on a monthly basis, the WWF was forced to drop the concept. The events were numbered numerically (example: In Your House 1, 2) until the seventh event where specific subtitles were added which usually referred to the main event, starting with (refers to the Shawn Michaels vs. Diesel match). Starting with the 17th event (), "In Your House" became the subtitles (example: ). Later PPV's No Way Out, Backlash, Fully Loaded, Judgment Day, Bad Blood and Unforgiven all came from the In Your House series. In 2020, 21 after the last event, WWE started using the In Your House name for its developmental brand NXT. The and were called NXT TakeOver: In Your House. The 2022 event, which was the last one so far, was simply called NXT In Your House because the TakeOver series ended in November 2021.

Albania Veneta (English: "Venetian Albania") was the name for the possessions of the Republic of Venice in southern Dalmatia from 1420 to 1797. Historical area. It originally covered the coastal area of what is now northern Albania and the coast of Montenegro, but the Albanian and southern Montenegrin parts were lost to the Ottomans in 1571. Name. The word "Veneta" in "Albania Veneta" was used to differentiate the area from the Ottoman Albania (called "Albania Ottomana" in those centuries), an area stretching from Kosovo to southern Albania. Geography. These Venetian possessions stretched from the southern borders of the "Republic of Ragusa" (modern-day Dubrovnik) to Durazzo (Durrës) in coastal Albania. The Venetian territories never reached more than 20 km from the Adriatic Sea. After 1573 the southern limit was moved to the village of Confin (Kufin) near Budua (Budva), because of the Ottoman conquests of Antivari (Bar), and Dulcigno (Ulcinj) in the Balkans. The Dominions of Venice were centered around the "Bocche di Cattaro" (Bay of Kotor) and included the small cities of Cattaro (Kotor), Risano (Risan), Perasto (Perast), Teodo (Tivat), Castelnuovo (Herceg Novi), Budua (Budva) and Spizza (Sutomore). History. Venice started to take control of the small southern Dalmatian villages around the 10th century, assimilating quickly the neolatin "Dalmatian language" of the coastal areas into the Venetian language. But only in the 14th century was the Republic of Venice able to create a territorial continuity around the Bay of Kotor. These Venetian dominions around Cattaro (Kotor) lasted from 1420 to 1797 and were called "Albania Veneta", a historical province of the Republic of Venice
Heliantheae is the most well known tribe of the sunflower family (Asteraceae). The name comes from the Greek word for "sun flower". The Heliantheae is the third largest tribe in the sunflower family, which has 190 genera and about 2500 species. Only the tribes Senecioneae and Astereae are larger. Most Heliantheae come from North America and South America, and Mexico. A few genera come from tropical areas. Most Heliantheae are herbs or shrubs, but there are some that grow to the size of small trees. Leaves are usually hairy and arranged in opposite pairs. The anthers are usually black. Uses. Heliantheae can be grown on farms. These include sunflowers and jerusalem artichokes. Many garden flowers are also in this group, such as "Coreopsis", "Cosmos", "Echinacea", "Rudbeckia", and "Zinnia". There are also some weeds in the family. Species of "Ambrosia" (ragweed) produce lots of pollen. Each plant can produce about a billion grains of pollen over a season, and the plant is wind-pollinated. It is one of the main causes of hay fever. Subtribes. In 1981 Harold Ernest Robinson came up with a new way to describe the tribe. He divided Heliantheae into 35 subtribes:
