Talk:First moment of area

message: Is the "First moment of area" the same as "Centroid"? ...or what is the difference?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 137.222.120.137 9:45, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The difference between the First moment of area and Centroid only become clear when when you move away from Real space. Centroid is a term that is, I believe, only defined for the Euclidean Plane and for Euclidean 3-space. The first moment of area is a more general term that applies to other, more abstract spaces that are not intuitive, or that even exist anywhere but in the realm of mathematics. They are the same in Euclidean Space, but should not be combined. Clifsportland (talk) 20:36, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

message: *Fake English? I've never heard the term 'statical moment'. Grammatically and phonetically, it doesn't even sound like it's supposed to be a word in the English language. I've no qualms about leaving it up if it's actually used by anybody, but it seems that the "static moment" is the appropriate term.  Any thoughts?   Clifsportland (talk) 20:29, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

message: I came here because a student mentioned this in a music appreciation assignment.  Is there a source for this?  This is surely not the case, at least as it is currently written.  If it's actually the case, it would probably be better written more along the lines of "first song to directly reference swing rhythms by name, introducing..."  As it's written, I'm left trying to fill in the blanks as to why Swing Low, Sweet Chariot doesn't count (I get it, it's talking about rhythm/feel, but it isn't very clear).

Talk:History of slavery in Georgia

message: As this page discusses Slavery in Georgia long before the U.S. was invented perhaps it should be moved to Slavery in Georgia (America).

In some places in Toronto the ancient shoreline of Lake Iroquois is very prominent -- the Scarborough bluffs, or the tall embankment that runs north of Davenport Road.  There are exceptions, like Swansea, High Park, Baby Point, but most of Toronto's deepest ravines are found north of Lake Iroquois's shorline.

Talk:Port Phillip Heads Marine National Park

message: The following changes have been made.
The complicated description of the subject of the article, i.e. protected marine national park which links to three different articles, has been replaced with the single generic term, marine protected area because this is the generic term used in Australia – please refer http://www.environment.gov.au/land/nrs/science/capad/2016.
The use of the term ‘marine national park’ has been applied throughout the article in lieu of ‘marine park’ because the subject of the article belongs to the class of marine protected area known as ‘marine national parks’ rather than the class of ‘marine parks’.

"A few years after Knatchbull-Hugessen wrote his creed, his career reached its peak (in so far as it was all downhill thereafter) when he was ambassador in wartime Istanbul. While the diplomat was taking a bath, his valet stole a set of keys to his safe, and wasted no time in selling the contents to the Nazis. Impressed by this sudden windfall of intelligence, the Germans gave him the code name Cicero. Over the next two years, as the unwitting Knatchbull-Hugessen dutifully refreshed the contents of the safe, Cicero copied and passed on to the Nazis everything from precise details of Allied bombing raids to an outline of the D-Day landings."      ←   ZScarpia   11:40, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
