Hedgehog

- _For the fictional character, see Sonic the Hedgehog_

A **hedgehog**, also called a **hedgepig** or **furze-pig** is a small mammal. It has between 5000 and 7000 spines on its back. There are hedgehogs in Europe, Asia, Africa, and New Zealand. When attacked or threatened, it curls up. Hedgehogs eat insects, snails, frogs and toads, snakes, bird eggs, carrion, mushrooms, berries and melons. Sometimes, hedgehogs will search for earthworms after rainstorms.

Hedgehogs are nocturnal animals and they hibernate between November and March.

## Description

Hedgehogs have long spines, or quills, made of keratin. They do not come off easily, unlike porcupines, but in baby hedgehogs, the baby quills drop off and are replaced with adult quills. This is called "quilling". When they are very stressed or sick, their quills can fall off, too. Their quills are not poisonous: they are safe for humans to feel and touch, as they are not very sharp, or harmful.

## Pets

Some people keep hedgehogs as pets. African pygmy hedgehogs are the most common type that are kept as pets. They live 2–4 years in captivity. Hedgehogs are exotic pets, which means they may not be legal to keep as pets in some places.

Display resolution

**Display resolution** is the number of pixels displayed on a given surface. This is one of the numbers that say the capability of a computer monitor.

For example: a "640 by 480 display", which has 640 pixels from side to side and 480 from top to bottom (as in a VGA display), and therefore has a total number of 640 × 480 = 307,200 pixels or 0.3 megapixels, is what is meant by 640 × 480 display resolution.

Cervix

The **cervix** is the bottom part of the womb (uterus) of the female reproductive system. The cervix is about 1 inch long. It is in the shape of a cylinder. The shape changes during pregnancy. There is a thin, central cervical canal that runs through its length. This canal connects the womb and the vagina.

## Anatomy

The opening into the uterus is called the internal os. The opening into the vagina is called the external os. The lower part of the cervix bulges into the top of the vagina.

The cervix has been written about since at least the time of Hippocrates, over 2,000 years ago.

Laurent Clerc

**Laurent Clerc** (born Louis Laurent Marie Clerc 26 December 1788 in Isère - 18 July 1869) co-founded the first school for the deaf (people who cannot hear) in the United States.

Deaf people in America respected Clerc and call him the "Father of the Deaf" because he founded the first school for the deaf in America in Hartford, Connecticut. Clerc and Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet founded that school on April 15, 1817 in an old hotel. The school moved to its present location in 1821 and is now named The American School for the Deaf. The American School for the Deaf is the oldest school for the deaf in the United States.

Ivory

**Ivory** is a hard yellowish-white material made from the tusks and teeth of animals such as elephants, hippopotamuses and walruses. Ivory is now very rare and expensive since there are restrictions on hunting elephants for ivory. There are also laws against the trade of ivory. Some countries (including Zimbabwe and South Africa) argue that these laws should be removed or changed, to allow them to sell some ivory.

Ivory has been used to make piano keys, billiard balls, handles and small ornaments. After ivory was banned, these items were usually made from plastic. Many of the earliest plastics were meant to be substitutes for ivory. Ivory has been used in artworks, such as carvings, since ancient times.

Ocarina

An **ocarina** is a kind of flute that is not made out of a tube. Because the ocarina is in a round or box-like shape, its sound is a little different from other flutes.

## History

The ten-hole ocarina was first made by Giuseppe Donati, in Italy, in 1853. Instruments like the ocarina had been made for hundreds of years before that in South America, China, and Africa. In Europe, a form called the gemshorn was made in the 16th century. The gemshorn was made from an animal horn.

In the 19th century, groups of ocarina players, with different sized ocarinas, played classical and folk music. Italian ocarinas became known throughout the world, because of this.

In the United States the ocarina was called the sweet potato, because its shape is like a sweet potato.

In 1928, the Japanese began making ocarinas. They added two small holes to the old kind of ocarinas. Japanese 12-hole ocarinas can play a larger scale than 10-hole ocarinas.

## English Ocarina

In the 1960s, the English ocarina was invented. It has four finger holes, and may have one or two thumb holes. English ocarinas are made in many shapes.

Clarinet

The **clarinet** is a woodwind instrument.

The clarinet body is made up of the mouthpiece, barrel, upper joint, pads, keys, ring key, rod, lower joint, and bell. The clarinet has one reed. The reed is made of cane, bamboo or plastic, which varies in thickness. The reed is attached to the mouthpiece with a clamp called a _ligature_, which is usually made out of metal. Blowing through the mouthpiece makes the reed vibrate, and therefore makes the noise. The body of the clarinet is a cylindrical tube with holes. The holes are covered by the fingers to make musical notes. There are also buttons pressed by the fingers which allow pads over holes to open or close so all notes of the chromatic scale can be played. The buttons are usually played with the "pinkie" finger.

The three main key systems on the clarinet are the Albert system, the Oehler system, and the Boehm system. The Boehm clarinet is the most common by classical orchestras and by jazz musicians. In North America and other Western countries, the most popular clarinet is the clarinet pitched in B flat. This means that if a clarinet player plays a note that is written as a C, it sounds like a B flat on a piano. The B flat clarinet is used in concert, marching, and school bands.  Musicians in orchestras also play the A-clarinet (a semitone lower), the sopranino E flat clarinet (a fourth higher) and the bass clarinet  in B flat (sounding an octave lower).

A beginner clarinet player usually can play a note within the first minutes of a lesson. Making a sound with the clarinet is easier than making a sound with many other wind instruments. Most instrumental music teachers consider it to be a good instrument for young players as soon as the lower adult teeth have grown. The fingering system is very similar to the flute and the saxophone, so changing from playing the clarinet to one of these instruments is not too difficult after the student is comfortable playing the clarinet and has reached a certain level.

A famous piece that features a clarinet is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Clarinet Concerto, which has the clarinet playing the melody with the rest of the orchestra playing along. Written in 1791, it is often considered the first great composition for the instrument.

16th century

The **16th century** was the century from 1501 to 1600. In this century, many Europeans visited or moved to the newly-found Americas and some also searched for new routes to Asia. There was much change in Europe at the time, such as the Protestant Reformation and the Renaissance.

Lute

The **lute** is a kind of musical instrument with strings.

The first lutes were brought to Spain by the Moors. Others may have been brought to Europe from Arabic lands.  The lute is one of the ancestors of the classical guitar.

A lute has an oval-shaped back, made of strips of wood. It has a flat front, with a neck attached to it. Early lutes had four strings or eight sets of two strings. Beneath these strings, there were strings tied to the neck, where the player pressed down to make the notes. These strings were called frets.

The front part of the body is made of a flat piece of wood, and known as the sound board. It has a beautifully carved hole in the center which is called the rose.

The lute was at first played by strumming or plucking with a pick. Later they were played with the fingers alone.

During the Renaissance, bigger lutes were designed. Most lutes at this time had seven or eight sets of strings. New kinds of lutes were invented. One new kind of lute made in the Renaissance was the theorbo. Another kind was the archlute.

In European classical music the lute was changed into the harpsichord and the mandolin.

Today there are kinds of lute still being played in Greece, Turkey, and in Arabic-speaking countries. The Renaissance lute is also played today, in western countries, as well as a German lute that is played the same way as a guitar.
Independence Day (United States)

In the United States, **Independence Day**, commonly known as **the Fourth of July** or **the Fourth**, is a holiday commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring the independence of the Thirteen Colonies from the United Kingdom of Great Britain. On Independence Day there are many events such as fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, picnics, concerts, baseball games, political speeches and ceremonies, and various other public and private events. These events celebrate the history, government, and traditions of the United States.

Independence Day, the only holiday that celebrates the United States, is a national holiday marked by patriotic displays. Similar to other summer-themed events, Independence Day celebrations often take place outdoors. Independence Day is a federal holiday, so all non-essential federal institutions (like the postal service and federal courts) are closed on that day. Many politicians make it a point on this day to appear at a public event to praise the nation's heritage, laws, history, society, and people.

Families often celebrate Independence Day by having or going to a picnic or barbecue, and take advantage of the day off and in some years, long weekend to gather with relatives and friends. People may also do fun and relaxing hobbies like any other day off such as swimming, fishing, boating, sunbathing, playing sports, or just kicking back and relaxing. Many stores are open on the fourth so people may go shopping. In the evening, people may launch their own fireworks. Decorations (e.g., streamers, balloons, and clothing) are generally colored red, white, and blue, the colors of the American flag. Parades often are in the morning, while fireworks displays occur in the evening at such places as parks, fairgrounds, or town squares.

On the 4th of July Americans do these things:
- Fireworks
- Hold parades
- Hold barbeque cookouts
- Bake red, blue and white desserts, such as cakes and cookies
- Create 4th of July wands.

Afrikaans

**Afrikaans** is a West Germanic language that is spoken mainly in South Africa and Namibia. It was originally the dialect that developed among the Afrikaner Protestant settlers, the unfree workers and the slaves who were brought to the Cape area in what is now south-western South Africa by the Dutch East India Company ( - VOC) between 1652 and 1705. Most of the first settlers were from the Netherlands, but many others came from Germany, some from France and a few from Scotland and various other countries. The unfree workers and slaves were Malays and Malagasy, in addition to the native Khoi and San people.

Research by J. A. Heese states that until 1807, 36.8% of the ancestors of Afrikaans-speaking population were Dutch, 35% were German, 14.6% were French and 7.2% non-white (of native African and/or Asian origins). Heese's figures are questioned by other researchers, however. Especially the non-white component quoted by Heese is very much in doubt.

A sizeable minority of those who speak Afrikaans as a first language are not white. The dialect became known as "Cape Dutch". Later, Afrikaans was sometimes called "African Dutch" or "Kitchen Dutch". Afrikaans was considered a dialect of Dutch until the early 20th century, when it began to be widely known as a different language. The name _Afrikaans_ is simply the Dutch word for _African_, and the language is the African form of Dutch. In May 2022, Afrikaans was recognized as an indigenous language of South Africa.

Afrikaans Language Monument

The **Afrikaans Language Monument** () is the only monument in the world dedicated to a language. It is on a hill overlooking the Teachers' Training College in Paarl, Western Cape Province, South Africa. Completed in 1975, it was built to celebrate the 100 years birthday of Afrikaans being declared as a different language from Dutch.

The monument is made of tapering structures of a convex and concave nature. They show the influences of different languages and cultures on Afrikaans itself. They are also a symbol of political developments in South Africa, as follows:
- Clear West - the European source of the language
- Magical Africa - the African influences on the language
- Bridge - between Europe and Africa
- Afrikaans - the language itself
- Republic - declared in 1961
- Malay language and culture

## Inscriptions

On a large inscription at the entrance, two quotes from important Afrikaans poets are written.

### van Wyk Louw inscription

- **' -- N.P. van Wyk Louw
- "Afrikaans is the language that connects Western Europe and Africa... It forms a bridge between the large, shining West and the magical Africa... And what great things may come from their union – that is maybe what lies ahead for Afrikaans to discover. But what we must never forget, is that this change of country and landscape sharpened, kneaded and knitted this newly-becoming language... And so Afrikaans became able to speak out from this new land... Our task lies in the use that we make and will make of this gleaming tool..."

### Langenhoven inscription

- **' -- C.J. Langenhoven
- "If we plant a row of poles down this hall now, ten poles, to represent the last ten years, and on each pole we make a mark at a height from the floor corresponding to the relative written use of Afrikaans in the respective year, and we draw a line, from the first here near the floor to the last over there against the loft, then the line would describe a rapidly rising arc, not only quickly rising, but rising in a quickly increasing manner. Let us now, in our imagination, extend the arc for the ten coming years from now. See you, sirs, where the point shall be, outside in the blue sky high over Bloemfontein, in the year 1924."

## Dit Is Ons Erns

The phrase _"DIT IS ONS ERNS"_ ("we are earnest [about this]", or "this is our earnestness") is inscribed on the pathway leading up to the monument.

United Nations Security Council

The **United Nations Security Council** (**UNSC**) is one of six main parts of the United Nations. The Security Council deals with maintaining peace and security between nations.

## Membership

There are 15 members of the UNSC but only five are permanent members. They are:
- China
- France
- Russia
- United Kingdom
- United States

The ten temporary seats are held for two years with member states (countries) voted in by the United Nations General Assembly on a regional basis. The Presidency of the Security Council (i.e. the leadership) is rotated alphabetically each month. Currently, the members are:
|Term|colspan="3"|Africa|colspan="2"|Asia-Pacific|Eastern Europe|colspan="2"|Latin America and Caribbean|colspan="2"|Western Europe and Other|

## Powers

If a country has behaved in a way seen as bad, the member countries of UNSC can make a ruling, known as a United Nations Security Council Resolution. All five of the permanent member countries must either agree to this ruling or at least not vote against it; if any of them do, it is said to have been "vetoed" and does not come into effect. This Resolution may call for UN members to take certain actions to punish the country, called "sanctions".

An example is that the UNSC had long banned all imports of nuclear fuel to Iran as they felt Iran was going to make nuclear weapons. These sanctions resulted in rules which made it much harder for Iran to do business with people in the rest of the world. These actions made life harder in Iran, both for its government and regular people as well. Most people think that is why Iran was willing to promise to change how it used nuclear material in order to end these rules. The Permanent Members of the Security Council worked together in ending this problem; Germany has also conferenced with the permanent UN Security Council members about this issue.

The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is the most powerful part of the United Nations. The Security Council deals with maintaining peace and security between nations. For members of the UN to engage in war or major military activity against another country or a large armed group outside of their own country they are supposed to have the agreement of the Security Council to do so but recent history shows that this rule is often not closely followed by everyone. All members of the UN retain the right to "self-defense"; they can engage in actions to defend their people and land whenever this becomes necessary but are then expected to refer the matter to the Security Council as soon as they can.

High jump

The **high jump** is a track and field athletics event. Without the aid of any devices, athletes jump over a horizontal bar placed at measured heights. The high jump was first practised in England in the 19th century. It became an Olympic sport in 1896 for men and in 1928 for women. The rules that were made in 1865 still exist today. Thus, every athlete has three attempts on every height. The athletes are allowed to touch the bar but they must not knock it down.

The women's world record of 2.10 metres is held by Yaroslava Mahuchikh. It was set in 2024. Eearlier (1987) Stefka Kostadinova jumped 2.09 metres. That record was set in 1987.

There is a technique called the Fosbury flop and scissor kick.

The Bronx was once the southern part of Westchester County, but is now one of the five boroughs of New York City as well as a county in New York State called **Bronx County**. The Bronx River flows south out of Yonkers and Mount Vernon, New York, through the middle of The Bronx, and into Long Island Sound. The Bronx is also known for its extreme crime rate in comparison to other parts of New York City.

Two places to visit in The Bronx are the Bronx Zoo and Yankee Stadium, where the New York Yankees baseball team plays.

Monk

A **monk** is a man  who devoted part or all of his life to a religion. The word comes from Ancient Greek, and can be translated as _solitary_. In Greek, the word can apply to women, but in modern English it is mainly used for men. The word nun is usually used for female monastics. Monks practice asceticism. They either live alone, or together with other monks who share the same ideals. Monks can be found in different religions, most often in Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Jainism and Taoism.

The monks who live on their own are usually called  hermits, those living with other monks do so in monasteries. Nuns living together do so in a convent.

Some laws monks might choose to obey:
1. Poverty: the monk cannot own anything.
1. Chastity: the monk cannot have sex or a sexual relationship and cannot start a family or get married.
1. Solitude: the monk should always be alone. Some monks choose to not follow this law.
1. Silence: the monk shall not speak unless it is necessary.
1. Generosity: the monk should always help other people.
1. Stillness: the monk cannot travel far unless it is necessary. Sometimes this means that the monk must be _cloistered_ which means that they must not leave their monastery. Sometimes they can be allowed to leave, but must not go very far.
1. Duty: The monk must do some things every day. For example, the monk must pray or meditate and must do some work.
Triangle

A **triangle** is a shape, or a part of two dimensional space. It has three straight sides and three vertices. The three angles of a triangle always add up to 180° (180 degrees). It is the polygon with the least possible number of sides. A triangle with vertices _A_, _B_, _C_ is written as . The study of geometry related to triangles is called trigonometry. Modern computers usually use triangles to make more complex graphic images or shapes.

## Types of triangles

Triangles can be grouped according to how many of their sides are equal:
- if all the three sides of a triangle have the same length, then it is an **equilateral triangle**.
- if a triangle has two sides with the same length, then it is an **isosceles triangle**.
- if all the three sides of a triangle have different lengths, then we have a **scalene triangle**.
Triangles can also be grouped by their angles:

- if a triangle has a right angle, that is, if one of the angles of that triangle measures 90° (90 degrees), then it is a **right triangle**. The opposite side to the right angle is the hypotenuse.
- if a triangle has an obtuse angle, that is, if one of the angles of that triangle is larger than 90°, then it is an **obtuse triangle**.
- if a triangle has only acute angles, that is, if all the angles of that triangle are less than 90°, then it is an **acute triangle**.

## Area

The area of a triangle is equal to base times height times one half.

Prefecture

A **prefecture** is a word used in Greece and Japan (called _νομός_, _nomós_ in Greece and called **県** _ken_ in Japan) for a

part of a country with its own government. It is a kind of local government.

It is like an American state or a British county.

In France, it is the head of the department (_see_ Prefectures in France _for more detail_).
Eris (dwarf planet)

**Eris** (symbol ) is a dwarf planet and a trans-Neptunian object (TNO). It is the second-largest known dwarf planet in the Solar System. Eris is slightly smaller than Pluto, but it has more mass than Pluto, making it the most massive dwarf planet.

It is a "scattered disc object" in the Kuiper belt, further out than Pluto. It is also called a _plutoid_ because the IAU decided to rename all trans-Neptunian dwarf planet as plutoids. Eris orbits the sun once every 557 Earth years. It has an elliptical orbit, inclined at an angle of 44° between the plane of the orbit of the planet and the ecliptic, the plane containing Earth's orbital path.

When it was first discovered, scientists nicknamed Eris by the name “Xena”.

Eris has one smaller moon, called Dysnomia, that is the second largest moon of a dwarf planet.

## Discovery

136199 Eris was discovered by Michael E. Brown, Chad Trujillo and David Rabinowitz on January 5, 2005, when they were having a close look at some images of the outer Solar System taken in 2003.

## Naming

136199 Eris was originally called _Xena_, after the main character of the television series _Xena: Warrior Princess_.  Due to complications, it was officially named 136199 Eris on September 13, 2006. Eris is named after the goddess of strife, discord, ⁣ contention and rivalry in Greek mythology.

## Moon of 136199 Eris

136199 Eris has one moon called Dysnomia. It was discovered on September 10, 2005. Dysnomia was originally nicknamed _Gabrielle_, after a character from the television series _Xena: Warrior Princess_, like 136199 Eris. However, like 136199 Eris, it was renamed to Dysnomia due to complications. Dysnomia was named after the daughter of 136199 Eris, in Greek mythology. Dysnomia is the goddess (or spirit) of lawlessness and poor civil constitution.

## Classification

Media reports have argued that 136199 Eris is the tenth planet, along with astronomers and NASA scientists.  However, the definition of a planet was changed in August 2006. Under the new specifications, 136199 Eris, along with 134340 Pluto, was lowered in status to a dwarf planet.

## Future

Scientists continue to find out more about Eris and its moon, and look for more moons and possible rings. Because Eris is so far away, it would take 24.5 years to visit Eris with a space probe.

In 1986, he had his 28th professional match (or fight) as a professional boxer; Because he won that fight also, the World Boxing Council (WBC) gave him the title "World Champion". Tyson is regarded as one of the greatest boxers of all time due to his dominance and timing.
