Animal roleplay

**Animal roleplay** or **pet play** is a form of sexual roleplay, where at least one person behaves and acts like an animal. It is common in the context of BDSM, where the submissive person usually acts like the animal, and the dominant person plays its master. The animals that are imitated usually are domesticated animals.

- ***Pony play*** / horseplay: The submissive imitates a horse; commonly, he/she will pull a cart
- **Puppy play** / dogplay: The submissive acts like a dog
- **Kitten play** / cat play: The submissive acts like a kitten

The people who imitate the animals are either completely naked, or they wear special clothing, for example clothing that imitates a harness for ponyplay, or a leash for dogplay/catplay.

Other forms also exist, but are less common. Note also, that this is a form of roleplay, between adults who agreed. It is not about sexual relations with animals (which is called zoophilia, and forbidden in most countries).

A priori and a posteriori

***' ("from the earlier") and ***' ("from the later") are Latin phrases used in philosophy to see what is different between some types of knowledge, reasoning, or argument by their reliance on evidence or experience based on experience.  knowledge is independent from current experience (e.g., as part of a new study). Examples include mathematics, tautologies, and deduction from pure reason.  knowledge depends on . Examples include most fields of science and aspects of .

The terms originate from the analytic methods found in _Organon_, a collection of works by Aristotle. Prior analytics () is about deductive logic, which comes from definitions and first principles. Posterior analytics () is about inductive logic, which comes from observational evidence.

Both terms appear in Euclid's _Elements_ and were popularized by Immanuel Kant's _Critique of Pure Reason_, an influential work in the history of philosophy. Both terms are primarily used as  to the noun "knowledge" (i.e. " knowledge").  can be used to modify other nouns such as "truth". Philosophers may use _apriority_, _apriorist_, and _aprioricity_ as nouns referring to the quality of being .

Wee Willie Winkie

"**Wee Willie Winkie**" is a Scottish nursery rhyme. The main character in the rhyme is well-known as a personification of sleep. The poem was written by William Miller and titled "Willie Winkie", first published in _Whistle-binkie: Stories for the Fireside_ in 1841. It has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 13711.

## Lyrics

The original text of 1841 in Scots, and a paraphrased version for English-language readers (from 1844) are below:

## Origins and meaning

The poem was written by William Miller (1810–1872), first printed in _Whistle-binkie: Stories for the Fireside_ in 1841 and re-printed in _Whistle-Binkie; a Collection of Songs for the Social Circle_ published in 1873. In Jacobite songs Willie Winkie referred to King William III of England, one example being "The Last Will and Testament of Willie winkie" but it seems likely that Miller was simply using the name rather than writing a Jacobite satire.

Such was the popularity of Wee Willie Winkie that the character has become one of several bedtime entities such as the Sandman, Ole Lukøje of Scandinavia, Klaas Vaak of the Netherlands, Dormette of France and Billy Winker in Lancashire.

Rugby boy

**Rugby boys** (sometimes called **solvent boys**) is the name for gangs of street children in the Philippines. There are a well-known sign of poverty there. They can be found in many slums. They often use and are addicted to an adhesive _called Rugby_, which gives them their name. They use this against hunger. Rugby is cheap, and easy to get. For this reason, many street children are addicted to it. Often, rugby boys will commit crimes such as robbery to get the money needed to get the adhesive. The formula for the adhesive has also been changed, to make sniffing it less attractive. The problem is that sniffing solvents causes permanent damage to organs  such as the liver, kidneys, brain, and heart.

The phenomenon is not limited to boys, it also affects girls. Children usually begin sniffing because of peer pressure, they see other people doing it.

Inhalant

**Inhalant** is the name for the type of chemicals that cause intoxication and a number of adverse effects when used. When a chemical or solvent is inhaled for abuse or fun it is a type of drug called an inhalant. Using drugs this way might be called  "sniffing", "huffing" or "bagging" in some places. The _drugs,_ which are not made to be safe or used in this way, include household or industrial chemicals.

Effects can vary but usually include: euphoria, depression, hallucinations, fainting, spasms, nerve damage, organ damage, or death when used. While a person is high on inhalants, they are at risk of hurting themselves because of their altered state of mind. Because they are cheap and offer a potential high, and a from lack of other options such as illegal drugs, adolescents or adults may often use them recreationally. Many solvents contain substances. Usually, solvents that are used in the household are easy to get. In many cases, the effects come quickly but last only a few minutes and have to be used repeatedly to stay high.

When taking inhalants, fumes are inhaled at room temperature, or from compressed canisters of the chemical. These include glue, nail polish remover, paint thinner, jenkem, lighter fluid, or pressurized aerosol can fumes (like canned air horns). It does not include drugs that are sniffed after burning or heating such as tobacco, cannabis, or crack cocaine, even though these drugs are inhaled as smoke or vapor.

Products which are used as inhalants are often legal, but their sale to people under the age of 18 is restricted or banned, and sellers are expected to look for the signs of a product being purchased to be abused. In some countries, certain inhalants are banned. Even though inhalant drugs are often used outside of hospitals to get high, they still have legitimate applications in medical applications such as in a surgery room with different forms of nitrous (like NO). In the past, chemicals like chloroform were used in surgery for pain relief and anaesthesia. These have been replaced by other (safer) inhalants, and the use of nitrous has come a long way in medicine since it was first used.
Isocrates

**Isocrates**  (;  ; 436–338 BC) was an ancient Greek teacher of rhetoric and was one of the ten . He was one of the leading Greek rhetorical speakers of his time and contributed to rhetoric and education through his teaching and written works.

Antinous

**Antinous** (; ;  – ) was a young Greek man from Bithynia and a favourite and likely lover of the Roman emperor Hadrian. Following his death aged eighteen, Antinous was deified (made into a deity) on Hadrian's orders, being worshipped in both the Greek East and Latin West, sometimes as a god () and sometimes as a hero ().

Little is known of Antinous's life, although it is known that he was born in Claudiopolis (present day Bolu, Turkey), in the Roman province of Bithynia. He was probably introduced to Hadrian in 123, before being taken to Italy for a higher education. He had become the favourite of Hadrian by 128, when he was taken on a tour of the Roman Empire as part a group of people accompanying Hadrian. Antinous accompanied Hadrian when he attended the yearly Eleusinian Mysteries religious rites in Athens, and was with him when he killed the Marousian lion in Libya, an event highly publicised by the Emperor. In October 130, as they were part of a flotilla (group of small warships) going along the Nile, Antinous died amid mysterious circumstances. A number of suggestions have been put forward for how he died, ranging from an accidental drowning to an intentional human sacrifice or suicide.

After his death, Hadrian deified Antinous and founded an organised cult devoted to his worship that spread throughout the Roman Empire. Hadrian founded the city of Antinoöpolis close to Antinous's place of death, which became a cultic centre for the worship of Osiris-Antinous. Hadrian also founded games in commemoration of Antinous to take place in both Antinoöpolis and Athens, with Antinous becoming a symbol of Hadrian's dreams of pan-Hellenism. The worship of Antinous proved to be one of the most enduring and popular of cults of deified humans in the Roman Empire, and events continued to be founded in his honour long after Hadrian's death.

Antinous became a symbol of male homosexuality in Western culture, appearing in the work of Oscar Wilde and Fernando Pessoa.

Completing the square

In elementary algebra, **completing the square** is a method for solving quadratic equations. The method changes the quadratic expression from the standard form  into the vertex form .

## Method

The method begins with a quadratic expression in its standard form,

The goal of completing the square is to change this expression to vertex form. Completing the square is the opposite of quadratic binomial expansion.

First, the factor  should be taken out of the first two terms:

With that factor removed, take half of the middle term, and note that

Substitution allows the left hand side to replace the right hand side in the earlier equation:

This gives the quadratic in vertex form, with

If the quadratic expression was part of a quadratic equation in standard form, the equation can be further solved using square roots, which makes the quadratic formula.

## History

The technique of completing the square was known in the Old Babylonian Empire.

Muhammad ibn Musa Al-Khwarizmi, a famous polymath who wrote the early algebraic treatise Al-Jabr, used the technique of completing the square to solve quadratic equations.

Battle of Svatove

The **Battle of Svatove** is a current battle between Russia and Ukraine over the eastern Ukrainian city of Svatove. It is part of the Russo-Ukrainian War and the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and part of the Battle of the Svatove-Kreminna line. The battle began on October 3, 2022, a day after the Ukrainian army recaptured the town of Lyman in Donetsk Oblast.

## Background

During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Svatove was occupied by Russian and Luhansk People's Republic forces on 6 March 2022. In early September 2022, it was reported that Russian forces were leaving the city. This was because of a Ukrainian counteroffensive in Kharkiv Oblast. However, Russian troops had came back by 14 September. After Putin announced partial mobilization on 21 September, some of the newly recruited conscripts were sent to Svatove to the front line after only 2 days of training at most to counter Ukrainian advances.

Russian forces mined all roads leading to Svatove and Kreminna to defeat Ukrainian advances.

## Battle

After the Ukrainian recapture of Lyman on October 2, Ukrainian forces went towards the Kharkiv-Luhansk oblast borders. On October 3, they took back Borova and the nearby town of Shyikivka. To the south, Ukraine took back the villages of Izyumske and Druzhelyubivka on the border of Kharkiv and Luhansk oblasts.

To the north of Borova, Ukrainian forces took back Bohuslavka and Borivska Andriivka. To the east, Ukrainian forces also took Hrekivka and Makiivka. On October 9, Ukrainian forces took back Kruhlyakivka.

Between October 9 and 13, Ukrainian forces made small advances into Luhansk Oblast. They took back the villages of Novolyubivka, Nevske, Novoiehorivka, Nadiia, and Andriivka, all southwest of Svatove. In the north, Ukrainian forces took back Krokhmalne.

By October 24, Ukrainian forces had taken back Kamazynivka, Myasozharivka, and Nevske in Luhansk Oblast, and Novosadove in Donetsk Oblast.

On the night of 2 November, Ukrainian sources claimed to have destroyed an entire Russian battalion near the town of Makiivka, in Svatove Raion.

The offensive and battle slowed down during November, but it still continues.
