Monochrome

**Monochrome** comes from the two Greek words _mono_ (meaning "one") and _chroma_ (meaning "surface" or "the colour of the skin"). If something is **monochromatic**, it only has a single color.

In physics, the word is used when talking about electromagnetic radiation of a single wavelength.

For an image, the term monochrome usually means the same as black-and-white or grayscale. It may also be used when talking about other combinations that only have two colors, for example, green-and-white or green-and-black. In computing, monochrome has two meanings:

- It may mean having only one color which is either on or off.  If it also has shades of that color, then it is called grayscale.
- A monochrome computer monitor can only show a single color, often green, amber, red or white. It can often also show shades of that color.
Semitone

A **semitone**
(British English) (also called a **half step** or a **half tone**) is the smallest musical interval used in Western music. It is the distance between two notes which are next to one another in pitch.

A **whole tone** means a distance of two semitones, i.e. the distance between two notes which are separated by one other note in pitch.

This is easy to see with a picture of a keyboard.  The distance between two white notes that are side by side may be a whole tone (if there is a black note in between them) or a semitone (if there is no black note between).

To go from a C to a C sharp (or D flat) is a semitone.

To go from a C sharp (or D flat) to a D is a semitone.

To go from a C to a D is a tone.

An octave is divided into twelve semitones.  These semitones are exactly equal in size.

Musical intervals are defined by a ratio of frequencies. An octave is a ratio of 2:1, so from 100 Hz to 200 Hz, and from 200 Hz to 400 Hz, are both octaves. A semitone is a ratio of the 12th root of 2 to 1, which is equal to 1.05946:1, so 1000 Hz and 1059.46 Hz are a semitone apart. A musical interval sounds better if the two notes have a small integer ratio. For this reason, it can be approximated by a ratio of 16:15 in just intonation.

Airfoil

An **airfoil** (in American English, or **aerofoil** in British English) is the shape of a wing, or blade of a propeller, the blade of a ship's screw or the shape of a sail as seen in cross-section. When moving through a fluid it will provide lift and drag. Lift is not only up, it may be in other directions depending on what it is used for. The airfoil has a rounded leading edge (front edge of the wing) to make the airfoil more insensitive to the angle of attack.
Silly Putty

**Silly Putty** (originally called **nutty putty**) is a silicone plastic "clay", sold as a toy for children by _Binney & Smith Inc._. It was created as a scientific accident when scientists in the United States were trying to find a substitute for rubber during World War II.

## Description

Silly Putty is sold as a 0.47 oz (13 g) piece of plastic clay inside an egg-shaped plastic container. It is an example of an inorganic plastic (polymer). It has many unusual characteristics. When pressed on comics or other newspaper pages, the loose ink transfers to the Silly Putty, which is then able to be stretched out. It bounces, showing its rubber qualities. It breaks when you give it a sharp blow. It can flow like a liquid when it is slowly stretched and will "melt" into a puddle over a long enough period of time, and so shows properties of non-newtonian liquids.

Maloideae

The **Maloideae** (which is a Latin plural form) is a traditional name for a subfamily of plants in the rose family (Rosaceae). These plants are shrubs and small trees. The most well known Maloideae are apples and pears. Recently it has been shown that the Maloideae are a part of the traditional subfamily Amygdaloideae, and most botanists no longer use the name Maloideae.
Rowan

A **Rowan** is a type of fruit-bearing plant in the family Rosaceae. They grow in the cooler areas of Europe and Asia. The fruit is a 4-8 mm diameter ball. It is bright orange or red in most species, but pink, yellow or white in some Asian species. The fruit is soft and juicy.
Fragaria × vescana

**Fragaria × vescana** is a plant in the family Rosaceae. It is a type of strawberry. It is a mix between a Beach Strawberry and a Strawberry that is normal.
.htaccess

**.htaccess** is a type of computer file for the configuring of some web servers. .htaccess files can be used to create custom error pages, or to prevent visitors from directly linking pictures, also known as hot-linking to their own sites, costing the website owner bandwidth and therefore money.

## Preventing direct or Hot-linking

A .htaccess file is put onto the website, so that people will not be able to go onto the URL of the image (picture) (example: ). Owners can replace this picture, after they upload the file, with a message, or it can be made to redirect to an error page.

### MediaWiki

By default, MediaWiki uses  type of URL to display the main page. But by changing the .htaccess and LocalSettings.php, it can display URLs like  so that it will look nicer (like Wikipedia).

### Wordpress

By default, all posts made in Wordpress uses  to display posts. But it can be changed into URLs like  in .htaccess and the permalink setting in the site admin of that blog.

#### .htaccess

htaccess file is to cache the image on the browser so that next time the website does not take much time to load.
Butcher

Hotlinking

**Hotlinking** is an internet term for displaying an image on a website by linking to the website hosting the image. The link gets the source data of the picture each time it is needed.

This avoids having the image on every website which uses it. So, a website owner uses a link to the picture such as __. When the hotlinking website is loaded, the image is loaded from the original website, which uses its bandwidth, so it costs the hotlinked website money. For this reason many website owners use .htaccess files to prevent hotlinking. In some cases website owners use the .htaccess file to replace any hotlinked images with an offensive image to deter any other website owners from hotlinking. Hotlinked images are usually hosted on sites like imgur.

The original image may be owned by the original website. It might be wrong to make a copy of the original image file for use on a different web page, without being careful to get proper permission.

Hotlinking can also be used for file types other than images, including documents and videos.

## Example

Hotlinking is known as the act of using another website's bandwidth by linking directly to their website's assets, such as images or videos. For example, say the owner of website A is hosting a particular image on their server. The owner of website B sees that image and decides they want it on their website as well. However, instead of downloading the image and hosting it on their own server, the owner of website B links directly to website A's domain. Therefore, instead of linking to the image via their own domain such as:

- ``

They would be instead using website A's domain:

- ``

Hotlinking someone's website assets can vastly increase their hosting costs.

Software versioning

**Software versioning** is a way to name different versions of computer software. A computer software has different states in its life-cycle process from development through deployment into production and sustainment. Each state in the process is given a unique version and version number. Versions are most often a sequence of one to four numbers (for example, 12.2.3) to represent Major.Minor.Maintenance actions, but they can also use names, dates, or other sequencing mechanisms.  In some practices, the numbers are used with variations like the 3rd digit being replaced by a letter (for example, 4.1a).  The changes are all revisions in that something is being changed and the version number tells people how complex the change is to the software.

Many times, after a program has been made, things called _patches_ can be downloaded from the program's website. The patches usually make small updates or fixes to the main program, such as fixing bugs or updating information or program functions. When a patch is used, the program is advanced to the next version, advancing the version number by the appropriate level.
Sympathy

**Sympathy** exists when the feelings or emotions of one person lead to similar feelings in another person so that they share feeling. Mostly sympathy means the sharing of unhappiness or suffering, but it can also mean sharing other (positive) emotions. In a broader sense, it can refer to the sharing of political or ideological sentiments, such as in the phrase "a communist sympathiser".

The psychological state of sympathy is closely linked with that of empathy, but is not identical to it. Empathy is understanding and feeling another person's emotions as they feel them, but makes no statement as to how they are viewed.

Sympathy, by contrast, implies a degree of equal feeling, that is, the sympathiser views the matter similarly to how the person themselves does. It thus implies concern, or care or a wish to reduce negative feelings others are experiencing.

In different religions, 'Sympathy' can mean different things, for example in Buddism, it means the sharing of thought, soul, emotion, and part of life with people close to you. In Hindi, it means roughly the same thing, but a small fraction of the definition is different. It means benevolence, clemency, compassion, grace, humanism, humanity, mercy, pity, tenderness, and ruth. Many beliefs also relate 'sympathy' to 'love', as the two forms of mind status have power over each other in emotional levels.

Puddle

A **puddle** is a small mass of liquid, usually water, uncontained on a surface. It can form either in depressions in the surface, or directly upon the flat surface, held together by surface tension. A puddle is generally considered to be small enough to step over or shallow enough to walk through, and too small to traverse with a boat.

Puddles commonly form during rainstorms, and can cause problems for transport, especially when combined with cold conditions to form patches of ice, which are highly slippery and difficult to see.
Beam (structure)

A **beam** is a structural element that carries structural load.

Beams generally carry vertical forces but can also be used to carry horizontal loads (those loads can result from winds or earthquakes). The loads that a beam carries are led to columns or walls, which lead the force to the next element.

Beams are characterized by their profile (their shape), their length, and their material. Today, most construction has beams that are made of steel, reinforced concrete, or wood.
Load

**Load** may mean:

- The structural load or forces (weights, wind or water pressure, earthquake shocks, etc.) applied to a structure.
- Cargo or Freight
Twin

**Twins** are two babies that are born at the same time.

_Human twins_ are two people that shared a single pregnancy, and one is normally born quickly after the first.

## Types of twins

There are 2 types of twins. They are:

### Fraternal twins

**Fraternal twins** are also known as "non-identical twins" or _dizygotic twins_. They happen when two ova are released from the ovary at the same time, and each is fertilized by a different sperm. This results in the birth of fraternal twins. They can be of different sexes. Genetically, they are no more similar than any two siblings.

### Identical twins

**Identical twins** or _monozygotic twins_: A single ovum is fertilized to form one zygote. This zygote later splits, and each half of the zygote becomes a twin. The twins have the same genes.

## Variations

There are five variations of twinning that occur commonly. The frequency varies in different populations. The three most common variations are all fraternal, meaning the two twins are not from the same egg:
- (1) male-female twins are the most common result, at about 41% of all twins born;
- (2) female fraternal twins (sometimes called sororal twins), about 20%;
- (3) male fraternal twins, about 19%.
The last two variations are identical twins, which means they come from one single egg that split later:
- (4) female identical twins (about 10%) and
- (5) (least common) male identical twins (about 10%).

## Other animals

Twinning is common in many other species, such as cats, sheep, and ferrets. Twinning occurs in cattle about 1-4% of the time, and research is being done to improve the chances of twins being born. If an animal has twins it can be more profitable for the breeder, especially if there is a smaller chance of miscarriage.
Ceiling

A **ceiling** is the surface that covers the upper limit of a room. It is not generally considered a structural element, as it does not hold anything up. It simply conceals the underside of the floor or roof above it.

There are many different types of ceilings in architecture. In religious buildings, the ceilings are often decorated with frescos, mosaic tiles and other surface treatments. Perhaps the most famous example is the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, painted by Michelangelo.

Column

A **column** in architecture is a vertical element that transmits the weight of the structure above to the structure below. Columns can be either a single piece or several pieces put together. Columns are frequently used to support beams or arches on which the upper parts of walls or ceilings rest.

## History

Stone columns were already used in the architecture of ancient Egypt as early as 2600 BC.
Keyboard instrument

A **keyboard instrument** is an instrument that is played by pressing the keys of a keyboard. In a keyboard, the notes are arranged with naturals (usually white notes) forming the main body of the keyboard, and sharps and flats (usually black notes) placed in cuttings into the upper half of the naturals.

The ways in which the sound is made varies a lot:

- In the piano, hammers hit the strings.
- In the organ, air is sent through pipes.
- In the electronic organ or synthesizer, sound is made electronically.
- In the harpsichord, the strings are plucked by quills or “jacks”.
- In the clavichord, the strings are hit by a metal “tangent”.

In the 17th and 18th centuries, the word _Clavier_ was used in Germany to mean any kind of keyboard instrument. Often, the naturals were black and the sharps and flats were white (see picture of harpsichord), but the layout was exactly the same.

The development of electronic instruments in the 20th century has brought about many different types of electronic keyboard instruments. These include the ondes Martenot and the synthesizer.

Nowadays, people often talk about a _keyboard_ meaning an electronic keyboard (e.g. “He plays the keyboard”). The plural form of the word is "keyboards".

Yamaha have now made the most successful keyboards, selling over 770,000 units a year.

## Types of keyboards

Keyboard types include:

- Arranger keyboards
- Digital workstation keyboard

## Arranger keyboard

Arrangers are mainly aimed at performers. Arrangers are mainly identified by their automatic accompaniment styles. They are used widely by musicians who perform by their own, more like a one-man band. Arrangers offer extensive libraries containing prerecorded accompaniment tracks in nearly every music style imaginable. The instrument can support their singing with onboard effects, vocal harmony, and lyric display while providing MIDI and/or audio file playback. Music played by the keyboardist can often be recorded and saved into a memory bank. Arrangers also help in writing songs and can provide realistic drum styles that match with the tempo and style the musician developed.

The top seller for arrangers include Yamaha and Korg which are used by many keyboardist worldwide.

## Workstation keyboard

A keyboard workstation is a keyboard that is used to change the features of a variety of sounds on a keyboard. Workstation allows one to create new voices using filters, effects and modulations. It also allows for mixing sounds.

Top brands for these are Nord, Yamaha, Korg, Casio which are used by many keyboardists worldwide.
Bow (ship)

The **bow** is the forward part of the  hull of a ship or boat, the point that is most forward when the vessel is underway.
The bow is designed to reduce the resistance of the hull cutting through water and should be tall enough to prevent water from easily washing over the top of it. The bow is helpful for letting the ship smoothly pass through the ocean.
Sambucus

***Sambucus*** is a genus in the family Adoxaceae. It is commonly called **Elder** or **Elderberry**. It includes several similar types of shrubs that produce fruit that is also called elderberries. The plant can be found in swampy habitats and other areas that provide enough water.

Black Elderberry has been found to be effective against the H5N1 strain of Avian Flu (Zakay-Rones et al. 1995). Black Elderberry contains a unique compound called Antivirin® that can help protect healthy cells and inactivate infectious viruses. When given to patients, scientists have found the Black Elderberry, has the ability to ward off flu infections quickly (Zakay-Rones 2004). Black Elderberries are rich in anthocyanins which are a type of flavonoid – anthocyanins are antioxidants that may protect cells from free radicals and support your body’s immune system.
Black Elderberries have almost 5 times as many anthocyanins as Blueberries and twice the overall antioxidant capability of cranberries
Black Elderberry has a more potent antiviral effect than Echinacea. At sites in Switzerland and Italy, researchers have uncovered evidence that the black elderberry may have been cultivated by prehistoric man, and there are recipes for elderberry-based medications in the records dating as far back as Ancient Egypt. Historians, however, generally trace the tradition of the elderberry’s healing power back to Hippocrates, the ancient Greek known as the “father of medicine,” who described this plant as his “medicine chest” for the wide variety of ailments it seemed to cure.

Over the centuries, elderberry has been used to treat colds, flu, fever, burns, cuts, and more than 70 other maladies, from a toothache to the plague. In the 17th century, John Evelyn, a British researcher, declared, “If the medicinal properties of its leaves, bark, and berries were fully known, I cannot tell what our countryman could ail for which he might not fetch a remedy [from the elderberry], either for sickness or wounds.”

Elderberry can grow in the form of a shrub or small tree, reaching up to 6 feet in height and width depending on the variety. It blooms during the spring or summer, and its flowers contain both male and female reproductive systems in the event that it is unable to reproduce through cross-pollination. It can be used to create a violet dye.
Jambul

**Jambul** or **Jamun** or **Jamblang** or **Jambhul** जांभुळ (मराठी)(_Syzygium cumini_), **Kaalo Jaam** (Bangla) Naavar Pazham (Tamil) is an evergreen tropical tree in the flowering plant family Myrtaceae, native to India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Indonesia and Sri Lanka. It is also grown in other areas of southern Asia including Myanmar, Nepal and Afghanistan.  The tree was also introduced to Florida, USA in 1911 by the USDA, and is also now commonly planted in Suriname.  In Brazil, where it was introduced from India during Portuguese colonisation, it has spread out in the wild in some places, as many native birds such as thrushes, tanagers and the Great Kiskadee want their fruits.  The various names for this fruit are (in Java) plum, jambul, jamun, jaman, black plum, faux pistachier, Indian blueberry , jambol, doowet, jambolan and jambolão. Scientific synonyms include _Syzygium jambolanum, Eugenia cumini_ and _Eugenia jambolana_.

A fairly fast growing species, it can grow as high as 30 metres, and can live more than 100 years.  Its dense foliage provides shade and is grown just for its ornamental value.  The wood is strong and water resistant.  Because of this it is used in railway sleepers and to install motors in wells. It is sometimes used to make cheap furniture and village dwellings though it is relatively hard to work on.

The Jamun tree starts flowering in March-April. The fragrant flowers of Jamun are small, nearly 5 millimetres in diameter.  This is followed by the fruit which appears in May-June and resembles a large berry. The berry is oblong and ovoid.  It is green when just appearing, pink when as it matures, and shining crimson black when fully ripe.  Another variety comes in white and some people say that it can be used as a medicine.  Jamun fruit is a mixture of sweet, slightly sub acid spicy flavour that stands out even after eaten since it turns the tongue into purple color. The fruit is universally accepted to be very good for medicinal purposes, especially diabetics.  The seed is also used in various alternative healing systems like Ayurveda, Unani and Chinese medicine for digestive ailments. The leaves and bark are used for controlling blood pressure and gingivitis.  Wine and vinegar are also made from the fruit.
Rambutan

A **rambutan** (_Nephelium lappaceum_) is a tree from southeast Asia. The fruit that grows on the tree is also called rambutan. It is in the same family as Lychee.

The name rambutan is a word that means "hairy".  The fruit does look hairy.  The fruit is green in color when not yet ripe. Once ripe the outside of the fruit turns red.  The flesh on the inside of the rambutan is white in color.

Rambutan is native to Indonesia. Rambutan trees grow naturally in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines and elsewhere in Southeast Asia .
Other than those countries, Sri Lanka is also popular  for rambutan.

The fruit are usually sold fresh, used in making jams and jellies, or canned.
Tangerine

A **tangerine** is citrus fruit related to the mandarin orange. Tangerines are smaller and easier to peel than common oranges. The taste is considered less sour, but sweeter and stronger, than that of an orange.

Very often, tangerines are simply peeled and eaten by hand, but they are sometimes also used as an ingredient of salads. In Sichuan cuisine, the dried peel of tangerines is used as an ingredient.

Clementines are sometimes considered as alternatives to tangerines.
Jackfruit

Artocarpus heterophyllus is the scientific name for jackfruit, and is family of Moracea. **Jackfruit** (also called "_Jakfruit_") is a type of fruit from India, Bangladesh (National fruit) and Sri Lanka. When a Jackfruit ripens, it changes from green to slightly yellow.

Vaccinium arboreum

***Vaccinium arboreum*** (also called **sparkleberry** or **farkleberry**) is a species of Vaccinium native to south-eastern United States.  They are usually found in southern Virginia west to southeastern Missouri, and south to Florida and eastern Texas.

Vaccinium arboreum is a shrub (rarely a small tree) growing to 3-5 metres (sometimes up to 9 metres) tall.  The leaves are evergreen in the south of the range, but deciduous farther north where winters are colder.  They are oval-elliptic with an acute apex, 3-7 cm long and 2-4 cm broad, with a smooth or very finely toothed margin. The flowers are white, bell-shaped, 3-4 mm in diameter, with a five-lobed corolla, produced in racemes up to 5 cm long.  The fruit is a round dry berry about 6 mm diameter, green at first, black when ripe, edible but bitter and tough.

Vaccinium

***Vaccinium*** is a genus of flowering plants. All of them are shrubs in the family Ericaceae. The fruits of _Vaccinium_ species include blueberries, cranberries, huckleberries, and Bilberry.

In total, there are about 450 species, mostly in the cooler parts of the Northern Hemisphere. There are a few tropical species which grow in places like Madagascar or Hawaii. The plants usually grow in heathlands or in forests. Like most plants of the Ericaceae, many species grow in acidic soils.

The larvae of a number of lepidoptera species (moths and butterflies are examples of lepidoptera) grow on these plants.

## Modern research

The taxonomy of the genus is complex, and is being investigated. Genetic analysis shows that the genus _Vaccinium_ is not monophyletic. _Vaccinium's_ taxonomy can be fixed by enlarging the genus to include a number of related genera. Alternatively, the genus could be broken up into several different genera.

The vaccinium uliginosum is a type of vaccinium that grows in North America and Eurasia.
Cantaloupe

A **cantaloupe** (also known as a **muskmelon**, **rockmelon**, **sweet melon** or **spanspek** or spelled "**canteloupe**", "**cantalope**" or "**cantelope**") is a type of fruit. It is a muskmelon that is probably related to the watermelon. There are two types of cantaloupe, European and North American. Cantaloupes range in size from 0.5 to 5.0 kilograms (1.1 to 11 lb).

## Types of cantaloupe

- The European cantaloupe is oblong with a light green skin.
- The North American cantaloupe is round with a thin light brown skin. The flesh of the fruit is firm, orange and sweet.

## Nutrition

Cantaloupes are a source of polyphenol antioxidants. These are chemicals which were thought to provide certain health benefits to the cardiovascular and immune systems by regulating the formation of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is a key chemical in promoting health of the endothelium and prevention of heart attacks. However, recent research has indicated they do not benefit the body. The body already has ways to deal with oxidation.

Cantaloupes also are an excellent source of vitamin C.

Dirty cantaloupes can spread bacteria. In 2011, 21 people died in the United States from cantaloupes having _listeria_ bacteria. The bad cantaloupes were traced back from around the country to a single farm in Colorado.

Ilama (fruit)

The **Ilama** (_Annona macroprophyllata_), also known as the **soncoya** or **sincuya**, is a kind of fruit, and also the name of the tree that it grows on. The trees and fruits can be found in tropical Central America.  The name comes from the Spanish translation of the Nahuatl _ilamatzapotl_. Its rough translation is 'old woman's sapote'.  The name is also applied to a similar fruit, ***cabeza de negro***  (_A. pupurea_) which is cultivated as an alternative to the cherimoya.  The cabeza de negro is similar in size to the Ilama but grey-brown in color with hard bumps on the surface, and orange flesh that tastes like mango or papaw.

The Ilama fruit is delicious when eaten ripe. It is either eaten on the half-shell or scooped out with a tool. The Ilama is usually chilled when served, it is sometimes served with a little cream and sugar to intensify the flavor, or with a drop of lime or lemon juice to bring in a tart and bitter tinge.

Governor General of Canada

**The Governer General of Canada** serves as the representative of the Canadian monarch, currently **King Charles III**, within Canada. While the King is the country’s head of state, he resides primarily in the United Kingdom due to his responsibilities as monarch of multiple Commonwealth realms.

The Governor General is appointed by the King on the advice of the **Prime Minister of Canada**. As the King’s representative, the Governor General performs various ceremonial and constitutional duties, including granting Royal Assent to legislation, appointing the Prime Minister, and summoning or dissolving Parliament.

Although the Governor General technically possesses significant constitutional powers, these are exercised almost exclusively on the advice of the Prime Minister or Cabinet, in accordance with Canada’s system of responsible government. For example, the Governor General appoints Senators, federal judges, and other officials based on recommendations from the Prime Minister.

In rare circumstances, the Prime Minister may seek the King’s direct involvement, such as when appointing additional Senators under Section 26 of the **Constitution Act, 1867**.
