Internet forum

One type of a **forum** is an online discussion site on the Internet. Users can type messages for others to see, and reply to other user's messages. Messages (or "posts") are organised by topic (or "thread"), with each poster either replying to an existing topic or creating a new topic for a new conversation.

Forums can be found on a lot of websites. Internet forums are often used to show people information. Things like pictures hyperlinks and images can also be put on the board, or "posted".

Many Internet forums have rules against things such as spamming and trolling. If people do those kind of things, they will be warned, and if they continue, they will be banned.

Forums also have their own set of rules. A rule which is used by many forums is not to comment or bring up old threads because those forums were made to discuss the newest events.

There are usually three different types of rankings on a forum:
- Member: which nearly everyone is, they can read and create posts.
- Moderator: someone whose job is to keep order on the forum. They can delete posts and warn or ban members who break the forum rules. They are informally known as jannies
- Administrator, or admin: The highest rank, who can change settings on the forum and change user permissions.

People participating in a forum may make friends with each other and may form groups with the same ideas.

Character (computing)

For computers, a **character** is a letter, number, or punctuation mark that can be shown on a screen, or printed.  There are also some unseen characters, called _control characters_.  An example of a control character is the carriage return or line feed that tells the software to start a new line.  A _glyph_ is the shape of the character that is seen when put on screen or on paper.

Since computers only use numbers, they use number codes to represent characters. For example, in ASCII, the number 65 represents the letter 'A'. The computer knows, when working in ASCII, to put the glyph for 'A' on the screen when it sees the number 65.  The glyph can change shape slightly depending on the font that is used, if it is **bold** or in _italics_, etc.  But it is still stored as a 65 in the computer, that does not change.

## ASCII and Unicode

One of the early standards for storing characters was ASCII.  It uses 7 bits to store each character.  This allows 128 characters—enough for the numbers 0-9, the upper case letters A-Z, lower case letters a-z, most punctuation marks including spaces, parentheses and braces, and some control characters.  But it is not enough for letters used in other languages, such as umlauts used in German and Scandinavian languages.  Some systems added an 8th bit to ASCII, for another 128 characters, but the extra characters can vary from one system to another.  And this doesn't address all languages.  There are thousands of Chinese characters alone.  To store all of these characters, Unicode was developed.  It uses 16 bits to store 65,536 characters.

ASCII is still widely used, especially in the English-speaking areas.  The Internet was started in English, and until 2010 URL addresses could only contain certain ASCII characters. Some ASCII characters that are not supported are replaced by a '%' and a number for its location in the ASCII table.  The space character, for instance, is changed to "%20" when it shows up in a URL.  In 2010, Unicode was allowed so people who spoke Russian, Greek, Chinese or other languages could see a domain name in their own language.

Italian Campaign (World War I)

The **Italian campaign** was a series of battles fought between Austria-Hungary and Italy in the mountains of northern Italy between 1915 and 1918.

Italy did not fight for the Triple Alliance, despite promises to Germany and Austria-Hungary, in 1914, when World War I started. In 1915, Italy joined the Triple Entente to take part of Austria-Hungary. Italian irredentism wanted the province of Trento (_Trentino_), the port of Trieste and the province of Bolzano-Bozen (_Alto Adige/Südtirol_), Istria, and Dalmatia.

Italy had hoped to begin the war with a surprise attack to act quickly and capture several Austrian-held cities. However, the war in Italy soon turned to trench warfare, which was similar to that of the Western Front.

Choudhary Rahmat Ali

**Chaudhry Rahmat Ali** or **Rehmat Ali Khan** (November 16, 1897 - February 12, 1951) was an Indian Muslim who was one of the first people to ask for the creation of the state of Pakistan. He is famous for coining the name, or term  "Pakistan" on January 28, 1933.

In Pakistan he has considerable importance. His articles are taught in  the course books of Pakistani schools.

## Acronym of Pakistan

The Sovereign Nation of **Pakistan** was created in 1947 as a Muslim nation carved out of former British India (Dissolution). But where did the name come from? It was coined by a Muslim Indian nationalist named Choudhary Rehmat Ali Khan, in a 1933 pamphlet entitled **“Now or Never”**.

Rehmat Ali, who was based in the UK as an academic working at Cambridge University (He himself is buried at the campus), simply took the names of the Five Major-provinces of **India** that were to be incorporated as the new country. The initial letters of four of them, plus the end of the Fifth, could be read as the new name. These were:

The

- **P**

- **A** (_Afghan_ province)

- **K**

- **S**

- **BaluchesTAN**

Put together, this made **Pakstan**, so adding a **“ī”** made sense in terms of producing something more pronounceable. The idea caught on and before long everyone was referring to the putative new country as **Pakistan**, although its creation was still 15 years into the future.

Rehmat Ali later claimed that a slightly different amended derivation was what he had in mind, namely:

- **P**/PUNJAB - The Cultural Heart of the Country

- **A**/Afghania (North-West Frontier Province) - Frontier Region

- **K**/KASHMIR - The Jugular Vein of the Country _(Muslim-Majority)_

- **I**/IRAN - Persianate heritage

- **S**/SINDHU - Civilisational heritage

- **T**/TURKESTAN - Central Turkic States

- **A**/AFGHANISTAN - Muslim Brethren

- **N/BalochisTAN** - Gateway to South Asia
