L. L. Zamenhof, the creator of Esperanto, proposed the so-called "h-system" ("h-sistemo" in Esperanto). Instead of diacritics, the letter "h" is added, with the only exception being "ŭ". For example, "ĝ" becomes "gh", "ĥ" becomes "hh" and "ŭ" becomes "u". Words which appear to have a diacritic but do not actually can be "broken" with a hyphen or an apostrophe. For example, "flughaveno" (airport) becomes "flug-haveno" or "flug'haveno".
Another system used to replace diacritics is the "x-system" ("x-sistemo" in Esperanto). The letter "x" is not used in the Esperanto alphabet, but it can be used to write diacritics. The x-system, unlike the h-system, does not treat ŭ differently from the other letters. For example, "ĝ" becomes "gx", "ĥ" becomes "hx" and "ŭ" becomes "ux". "flughaveno" remains the same, as there is no ambiguity.
The whole Esperanto alphabet is part of the Latin-3 and Unicode character sets, and it is included in WGL4.
The code points and HTML entities for the special Esperanto characters in Unicode are:
Some people say that use of the diacritics (the letters ĉ, ĝ, ĥ, ĵ, ŝ, ŭ) makes the language less natural than it would be using only the basic letters of Latin alphabet. The letters ĉ, ĝ, ĥ, ĵ are not used in any other language in the world.
According to some people, the phonetic system of Esperanto is too similar to the Polish dialect of Białystok, home town of Zamenhof.
Several people consider using the Latin alphabet not to be neutral. In fact, many native languages on each continent (except for Antarctica) use the Latin alphabet to write: for example, German (Europe), Swahili (Africa), Vietnamese (Asia), Tahitian (Oceania), Cree (North America) and Apalaí (South America).
Bradycardia
Bradycardia (also called bradyarrhythmia) is a slow heart rate. In adults, bradycardia is defined as a heart rate that is under 60 beats per minute (bpm) while the person is resting. Bradycardia is a type of cardiac arrhythmia.
There are many types of bradycardia. Some are caused by problems with the heart. Bradycardia can also be caused by medicines, drugs, and many other things.
The symptoms of bradycardia depend on how slow the heart rate is and what kind of problem the heart is having. For most people, bradycardia is not a serious problem. But it can become a serious problem if it signals a major problem with the heart. Also, if bradycardia gets very bad, the heart will be unable to pump enough blood and oxygen to the body. Every part of the body needs blood and oxygen to survive. If bradycardia is bad enough, it can cause organ damage, brain damage, and death.

Precision (numbers)
In mathematics, precision describes the level of exactness in a number's digits, such as number 54.6 having precision 1 (one decimal digit). A number with end zeroes ("00") has a negative precision, such as 500 having precision -2, or 4,000 as precision -3. A whole number (not ending in "0") has precision 0.
The level of precision differs from the word "accuracy" of a number, which means the correctness or truth of a number as used to describe an item or count.
Acid2
The Acid2 test is a test of web browsers to see if they can show parts of the internet correctly. It uses CSS and HTML to put things in the right places. It uses the PNG format for the images it uses in the test. A company's web browser that works with the Acid2 test is able to show most of the internet correctly and is a modern web browser.
Folding@home
Folding@Home is a distributed computing project that helps doctors at Stanford University learn about and cure diseases. When parts of the human body do not work right, they make people sick. "Folding@Home" looks at the parts called proteins. When these proteins do not work right, they can make people sick with things like Alzheimer's, Mad Cow disease, and many types of cancer.
The project uses the idle processing resources of thousands of personal computers owned by volunteers who have installed the software on their systems. Instead of using an expensive supercomputer many user's computers can do the same work. The software was first available for the Sony PlayStation 3. It can also run in a Google Chrome window. It is now available for a wide variety of Android mobile devices.
Qualia
Qualia is a term philosophers use for bits of perception or subjective, conscious experience. It is in the field called the philosophy of psychology, or philosophy of mind.
Examples of qualia include the pain of a headache, the taste of wine, or the perceived redness of an evening sky. It is a separate bit of experience, different from thinking about propositions or stream of consciousness thought.
Daniel Dennett (b. 1942), American philosopher and cognitive scientist, says "qualia" is "an unfamiliar term for something that could not be more familiar to each of us: the ways things seem to us".
Stream of consciousness
Stream of consciousness refers to the flow of thoughts in the conscious mind. It was a term used by the American psychologist and philosopher William James in 1890. James said:
The idea (but not the term) had been noted before James, by the philosopher William Hamilton in his lectures of 1838/9. He described thought as "a series of acts all... connected".
A similar idea occurs in early Buddhist writings, and is sometimes called the mindstream.
