-Linguist David Wilton in Word Myths:
-The armed forces and government agencies frequently employ acronyms; some well-known examples from the United States are among the "alphabet agencies" (also jokingly referred to as "alphabet soup") created by Franklin D. Roosevelt (also of course known as FDR) under the New Deal.
-The rapid advance of science and technology in recent centuries seems to be an underlying force driving the usage, as new inventions and concepts with multiword names create a demand for shorter, more manageable names.[citation needed] One representative example, from the U.S. Navy , is COMCRUDESPAC, which stands for commander, cruisers destroyers Pacific; it's also seen as "ComCruDesPac".
-"YABA-compatible" (where YABA stands for " yet another bloody acronym ") is used to mean that a term's acronym can be pronounced but is not an offensive word, e.g., "When choosing a new name, be sure it is 'YABA-compatible'."

-In addition, the College Scholastic Ability Test (대학수학능력시험, Daehak Suhang Neungryeok Siheom) is shortened to Suneung (수능, "S.A.").
-Other acronyms can refer to the university's main subject, e.g. Korea National University of Education (한국교원대학교, Hanguk Gyowon Daehakgyo) is shortened to Gyowondae (교원대, "Big Ed." or "Ed.-U").
-The Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (한국과학기술원, Hanguk Gwahak Gisulwon) is referred to as KAIST (카이스트, Kaiseuteu) in both English and Korean.

-The use of acronyms has been further popularized with the emergence of Short Message Systems (SMS).
-To fit messages into the 160 -character limit of SMS, acronyms such as "GF" (girlfriend), "LOL" (laughing out loud), and "DL" (download or down low) have been popularized into the mainstream.

-There are also cases where some longer phrases are abbreviated drastically, especially in Chinese politics, where proper nouns were initially translated from Soviet Leninist terms.
-In another example, the word "全国人民代表大会" (National People's Congress) can be broken into four parts : "全国" =
-For instance, the full name of China's highest ruling council, the Politburo Standing Committee (PSC), is " Standing Committee of the Central Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China " (中国共产党中央政治局常务委员会).
-Having a key at the start or end of the publication obviates skimming over the text searching for an earlier use to find the expansion.
-In addition, this feature enables readers possessing knowledge of the abbreviations not to have to encounter expansions ( redundant to such readers )
-The first is that if they are not reading the entire publication sequentially (which is a common mode of reading), then they may encounter an acronym without having seen its expansion.
-(This is especially important in the print medium, where no search utility is available.)
-It is not uncommon for acronyms to be cited in a kind of false etymology, called a folk etymology , for a word.
-For example, cop is commonly cited as being derived, it is presumed, from " constable on patrol ," and posh from "port out, starboard home".
-Taboo words in particular commonly have such false etymologies: shit from "ship/store high in transit" or "special high-intensity training" and fuck from "for unlawful carnal knowledge", or "fornication under consent/command of the king".
-With some of these specious expansions, the "belief" that the etymology is acronymic has clearly been tongue-in-cheek among many citers, as with "gentlemen only, ladies forbidden" for golf , although many other (more credulous) people have uncritically taken it for fact.
-Some examples of the syllabic type are Gestapo rather than GSP (for Geheime Staatspolizei , 'secret state police'); Flak rather than FAK (for Fliegerabwehrkanone, anti-aircraft gun); Kripo rather than KP (for Kriminalpolizei, detective division police).
-The extension of such contraction to a pervasive or whimsical degree has been mockingly labeled Aküfi (for Abkürzungsfimmel , strange habit of abbreviating).
-Some examples of the syllabic type are Gestapo rather than GSP (for Geheime Staatspolizei, 'secret state police'); Flak rather than FAK (for Fliegerabwehrkanone, anti-aircraft gun); Kripo rather than KP (for Kriminalpolizei, detective division police).
-To a greater degree than English does, German tends toward acronyms that use initial syllables rather than initial single letters, although it uses many of the latter type as well.
-In some languages, especially those that use certain alphabets, many acronyms come from the governmental use, particularly in the military and law enforcement services .
-The Indonesian military (TNI—Tentara Nasional Indonesia) and Indonesian police (POLRI—Kepolisian Republik Indonesia) are infamous for heavy acronyms use.
-Examples include the Kopassus (Komando Pasukan Khusus; Special Forces Command), Kopaska (Komando Pasukan Katak; Frogmen Command), Kodim (Komando Distrik Militer; Military District Command—one of the Indonesian army's administrative divisions), Serka (Sersan Kepala; Head Sergeant), Akmil (Akademi Militer; Military Academy—in Magelang) and many other terms regarding ranks, units, divisions, procedures , etc.

-Another common example is RAM memory, which is redundant because RAM ( random-access memory ) includes the initial of the word memory.
-PIN stands for personal identification number , obviating the second word in PIN number; in this case its retention may be motivated to avoid ambiguity with the homophonous word "pin".
-Other examples include ATM machine ( automated teller machine machine), EAB bank (European American Bank bank), CableACE Award (cable award for cable excellence award), DC Comics (Detective Comics Comics), HIV virus (human immunodeficiency virus virus), Microsoft's NT Technology (New Technology Technology) and the formerly redundant SAT test (Scholastic Achievement/Aptitude/Assessment Test test, now simply SAT Reasoning Test).

-Such punctuation is diminishing with the belief that the presence of all-capital letters is sufficient to indicate that the word is an abbreviation.
-In the case of most acronyms, each letter is an abbreviation of a separate word and, in theory, should get its own termination mark.

-For example, i18n abbreviates internationalization, a computer-science term for adapting software for worldwide use.
-The 18 represents the 18 letters that come between the first and the last in internationalization .
-Localization can be abbreviated l10n, multilingualization m17n, and accessibility a11y.
-Inconveniently long words used frequently in related conte x ts can be represented according to their letter count.
-Examples include Crxn for crystallization and the series familiar to physicians for history, diagnosis, and treatment (hx, dx, tx).
-Acronyms are sometimes contrived, that is, deliberately designed to be especially apt for the thing being named (by having a dual meaning or by borrowing the positive connotations of an existing word).
-The clothing company French Connection began referring to itself as fcuk, standing for "French Connection United Kingdom."
-The clothing company French Connection began referring to itself as fcuk , standing for "French Connection United Kingdom."
-The clothing company French Connection began referring to itself as fcuk, standing for " French Connection United Kingdom. " The company then created T-shirts and several advertising campaigns that exploit the acronym's similarity to the taboo word "fuck."
-will add an 's' following an apostrophe , as in "PC's".
-However, Kate Turabian, writing about style in academic writings, allows for an apostrophe to form plural acronyms " only when an abbreviation contains internal periods or both capital and lowercase letters ".
-Turabian would therefore prefer "DVDs" and "URLs" and " Ph.D.'s ", while the Modern Language Association explicitly says, "do not use an apostrophe to form the plural of an abbreviation".

-Although many users of natural language, when engaging in expository writing, show a predisposition to capitalizing the initials of the expansion for pedagogical emphasis (trying to thrust the reader's attention toward where the letters are coming from ), this has no basis in standard English orthography, which reserves capitals for maintaining the common-versus-proper distinction.

-Enforcing the latter, most professional editors case-fold such expansions to their standard orthography when editing manuscripts for publication. The justification is that (1) readers are smart enough to figure out where the letters came from, even without their being capitalized for emphasis, and that (2) common nouns do not take capital initials in standard English orthography.
-that (2) common nouns do not take capital initials in standard English orthography .
-Some acronyms are chosen deliberately to avoid a name considered undesirable : For example, Verliebt in Berlin (ViB), a German telenovela, was first intended to be Alles nur aus Liebe (All for Love), but was changed to avoid the resultant acronym ANAL.

-Likewise, the Computer Literacy and Internet Technology qualification is known as CLaIT , rather than CLIT.
-The argument that acronyms should have no different plural form (for example, "If D can stand for disc, it can also stand for discs") is in general disregarded because of the practicality in distinguishing singulars and plurals .
-In this case, the options for making a possessive form of an abbreviation that is already in its plural form without a final s may seem awkward: for example, U.S., U.S.'s , etc.
-In such instances, possessive abbreviations are often foregone in favor of simple attributive usage (for example, the U.S. economy) or expanding the abbreviation to its full form and then making the possessive (for example, the United States' economy).
-This is not the case , however, when the abbreviation is understood to describe a plural noun already: For example, U.S. is short for United States, but not United State.
-Multiple options arise when acronyms are spelled with periods and are pluralized: for example, whether compact discs may become C.D.'s, C.D.s, or CDs .
-Possessive plurals that also include apostrophes for mere pluralization and periods appear especially complex: for example, the C.D.'s' labels (the labels of the compact discs).
-SOSes ), or when pluralizing an abbreviation that has periods.
-However, the style guide for the New York Times states that the addition of an apostrophe is necessary when pluralizing all abbreviations , preferring "PC's, TV's and VCR's".
-At the copyediting end of the publishing industry, where the aforementioned distinction between acronyms (pronounced as a word) and initialisms (pronounced as a series of letters) is usually maintained,[citation needed] some publishers choose to use cap/lowercase (c/lc) styling for acronyms, reserving all-caps styling for initialisms.

-Although the word acronym is often used to refer to any abbreviation formed from initial letters , many dictionaries and usage commentators define acronym to mean an abbreviation that is pronounced as a word, in contradistinction to an initialism (or alphabetism)‍—‌an abbreviation formed from a string of initials (and possibly pronounced as individual letters).
-Examples in reference works that make the distinction include NATO /ˈneɪtoʊ/, scuba /ˈskuːbə/, and radar /ˈreɪdɑːr/ for acronyms - and FBI /ˌɛfˌbiːˈaɪ/, CRT /ˌˈsiːˌɑːrˌtiː/, and HTML /ˌeɪtʃˌtiːˌɛmˈɛl/ for initialisms .

-Abbreviations using numbers for other purposes include repetitions , such as W3C ("World Wide Web Consortium") and T3 (Trends, Tips & Tools for Everyday Living); pronunciation, such as B2B ("business to business"); and numeronyms, such as i18n ("internationalization"; 18 represents the 18 letters between the initial i and the final n).
-Large numbers may use metric prefixes, as with Y2K for "Year 2000" (sometimes written Y2k, because the SI symbol for 1000 is k—not K, which stands for kelvin).

-can lead to redundant acronym syndrome , as when Trustee Savings Bank became TSB Bank, or when Railway Express Agency became REA Express.
-A few high-tech companies have taken the redundant acronym to the extreme: for example, ISM Information Systems Management Corp. and SHL Systemhouse Ltd.

-Nevertheless, Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri argue that it was neither a matter of strictly economics nor of morals. First, because slavery was (in practice) still beneficial to capitalism, providing not only influx of capital, but also disciplining hardship into workers (a form of "apprenticeship" to the capitalist industrial plant).
-Although moral arguments did play a secondary role , it usually had major resonance when used as a strategy to undercut competitors' profits.

-Because the negative effects of slavery on the economies of Africa have been well documented, namely the significant decline in population , some African rulers likely saw an economic benefit from trading their subjects with European slave traders.
-With the exception of Portuguese controlled Angola , coastal African leaders "generally controlled access to their coasts, and were able to prevent direct enslavement of their subjects and citizens."
-Such benefits included military technology (specifically guns and gunpowder), gold, or simply maintaining amicable trade relationships with European nations. The slave trade was therefore a means for some African elite to gain economic advantages.
- Thus, as African scholar John Thornton argues, African leaders who allowed the continuation of the slave trade likely derived an economic benefit from selling their subjects to Europeans.

 According to Bruce M. Owen , this does not mean that all firms themselves have to be equally decentralized.
-Hence, goods and services are produced and sold by firms with various degrees of horizontal and vertical integration."
-Much of the time, markets work very efficiently , but there is a variety of conditions under which firms do better.
-When it does not, he writes regulation may be necessary.
-Additionally, he writes that the "economic incentive to expand horizontally or vertically is usually, but not always , compatible with the social interest in maximizing long-run consumer welfare."
-Accordingly, libertarian socialists believe that " the exercise of power in any institutionalized form—whether economic, political, religious, or sexual—brutalizes both the wielder of power and the one over whom it is exercised".
-Libertarian socialism tends to deny the legitimacy of most forms of economically significant private property , viewing capitalist property relations as forms of domination that are antagonistic to individual freedom.

-The largest firms turned to the power of the state and working with leaders like United States Presidents Theodore Roosevelt, William H. Taft and Woodrow Wilson passed as "progressive reforms" centralizing laws like The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 that gave control of the monetary system to the wealthiest bankers; the formation of monopoly "public utilities" that made competition with those monopolies illegal; federal inspection of meat packers biased against small companies; extending Interstate Commerce Commission to regulating telephone companies and keeping rates high to benefit AT&T; and using the Sherman Anti-trust Act against companies which might combine to threaten larger or monopoly companies.

-Factors hindering decentralization include weak local administrative or technical capacity, which may result in inefficient or ineffective services; inadequate financial resources available to perform new local responsibilities, especially in the start-up phase when they are most needed; or inequitable distribution of resources.
-Decentralization can make national policy coordination too complex ; it may allow local elites to capture functions; local cooperation maybe undermined by any distrust between private and public sectors; decentralization may result in higher enforcement costs and conflict for resources if there is no higher level of authority.

-The Baltic Sea flows out through the Danish straits ; however, the flow is complex.
-A surface layer of brackish water discharges 940 km3 (230 cu mi) per year into the North Sea.
-Due to the difference in salinity, by salinity permeation principle , a sub-surface layer of more saline water moving in the opposite direction brings in 475 km3 (114 cu mi) per year.
-The general circulation is anti-clockwise : northwards along its eastern boundary, and south along the western one .
-It mixes very slowly with the upper waters, resulting in a salinity gradient from top to bottom, with most of the salt water remaining below 40 to 70 m (130 to 230 ft) deep.

-Drinking the water as a means of survival would actually hydrate the body instead of dehydrating, like that of ocean water.
-Below 40 to 70 m (130 to 230 ft), the salinity is between 1.0% and 1.5% in the open Baltic Sea, and more than this near Danish Straits, but this is still less than half that of ocean water.
-However, floating ice was additionally observed near Świnoujście harbour in January 2010.
-During the winter of 2010–11, which was quite severe compared to those of the last decades, the maximum ice cover was 315,000 km2 (122,000 sq mi) , which was reached on 25 February 2011.

-However, for persons trying to obtain coverage for unusual risks, the choice is usually between a surplus line insurer or no coverage at all .
-Only the smallest insurers exist as a single corporation.
- Most major insurance companies actually exist as insurance groups .
- That is, they consist of holding companies which own several admitted and surplus insurers (and sometimes a few excess insurers and reinsurers as well).
- There are dramatic variations from one insurance group to the next in terms of how its various business functions are divided up among its subsidiaries or outsourced to third party corporations altogether.
-An example of how insurance groups work is that when people call GEICO and ask for a rate quote, they are actually speaking to GEICO Insurance Agency, which may then write a policy from any one of GEICO's seven insurance companies .
- When the customer writes their check for the premium to "GEICO", the premium is actually deposited with one of those seven insurance companies (the one that actually wrote their policy) .
- Similarly, any claims against the policy are charged to the issuing company .
- But as far as most layperson customers know, they are simply dealing with GEICO .
-Obviously, it is more difficult to operate an insurance group than a single insurance company, since employees must be painstakingly trained to observe corporate formalities so that courts will not treat the entities in the group as alter egos of each other.

-The role of the parentheses in the definition is to ensure that any formula can only be obtained in one way by following the inductive definition (in other words, there is a unique parse tree for each formula).
-This property is known as unique readability of formulas .
-For example, some authors use colons or full stops instead of parentheses, or change the places in which parentheses are inserted.
-a proof of unique readability .
-A less common convention is Polish notation , in which one writes ....→...{\displaystyle \rightarrow }.., ....∧...{\displaystyle \wedge }.., and so on in front of their arguments rather than between them.
-This convention allows all punctuation symbols to be discarded.
-Polish notation is compact and elegant, but rarely used in practice because it is hard for humans to read it.

-Using just the two quantifiers ∀ and ∃ and the loving relation symbol L, but no logical connectives and no function symbols (including constants), formulas with 8 different meanings can be built.

-There are many such systems for first-order logic, including Hilbert-style deductive systems, natural deduction, the sequent calculus, the tableaux method , and resolution.
- These finite deductions themselves are often called derivations in proof theory .
-They are also often called proofs , but are completely formalized unlike natural-language mathematical proofs.
-For example, one common rule of inference is the rule of substitution .
-If t is a term and φ is a formula possibly containing the variable x, then φ[t/x] (often denoted φ[x/t]) is the result of replacing all free instances of x by t in φ.
-The substitution rule states that for any φ and any term t, one can conclude φ[t/x] from φ provided that no free variable of t becomes bound during the substitution process.
-( If some free variable of t becomes bound, then to substitute t for x it is first necessary to change the bound variables of φ to differ from the free variables of t.)
-The intended replacement can be obtained by renaming the bound variable x of φ to something else, say z , so that the formula after substitution is ....∃.z.(.z.=.x.+.1.)...{\displaystyle \exists z(z=x+1)}.., which is again logically valid.
-If t is the term "x + 1", the formula φ[t/y] is ....∃.x.(.x.=.x.+.1.)...{\displaystyle \exists x(x=x+1)}.., which will be false in many interpretations. The problem is that the free variable x of t  became bound during the substitution. The intended replacement can be obtained by renaming the bound variable x of φ to something else, say z, so that the formula after substitution is ....∃.z.(.z
-The intended replacement can be obtained by renaming the bound variable x of φ to something else, say z , so that the formula after substitution is ....∃.z.(.z.=.x.+.1.)...{\displaystyle \exists z(z=x+1)}.., which is again logically valid.
-The substitution rule demonstrates several common aspects of rules of inference.
-It is entirely syntactical ; one can tell whether it was correctly applied without appeal to any interpretation.
-It has (syntactically defined) limitations on when it can be applied , which must be respected to preserve the correctness of derivations.
-Moreover, as is often the case, these limitations are necessary because of interactions between free and bound variables that occur during syntactic manipulations of the formulas involved in the inference rule.
-A deduction in a Hilbert-style deductive system is a list of formulas, each of which is a logical axiom , a hypothesis that has been assumed for the derivation at hand, or follows from previous formulas via a rule of inference.

-The logical axioms consist of several axiom schemas of logically valid formulas ; these encompass a significant amount of propositional logic.
-The rules of inference enable the manipulation of quantifiers. Typical Hilbert-style systems have a small number of rules of inference, along with several infinite schemas of logical axioms.

-It is also known as first-order predicate calculus , the lower predicate calculus, quantification theory, and predicate logic.

-Some formulas imply others, i.e. all matrices satisfying the antecedent ( LHS ) also satisfy the conclusion (RHS) of the implication — e.g. formula 3 implies formula 1, i.e.: each matrix fulfilling formula 3 also fulfills formula 1, but not vice versa (see the Hasse diagram for this ordering relation).

-In contrast, only some matrices, which satisfy formula 2, happen to satisfy also formula 5 , whereas others, also satisfying formula 2, do not; therefore formula 5 is not a logical consequence of formula 2.
-In contrast, only some matrices, which satisfy formula 2, happen to satisfy also formula 5, whereas others, also satisfying formula 2, do not; therefore formula 5 is not a logical consequence of formula 2 .
-An interpretation of a first-order language assigns a denotation to all non-logical constants in that language .
-It also determines a domain of discourse that specifies the range of the quantifiers .
-The study of the interpretations of formal languages is called formal semantics .
-What follows is a description of the standard or Tarskian semantics for first-order logic.
-The interpretation of an n-ary predicate symbol is a set of n-tuples of elements of the domain of discourse .
-This means that, given an interpretation, a predicate symbol, and n elements of the domain of discourse , one can tell whether the predicate is true of those elements according to the given interpretation.
-For example, an interpretation I(P) of a binary predicate symbol P may be the set of pairs of integers such that the first one is less than the second.
-According to this interpretation, the predicate P would be true if its first argument is less than the second.
-There is a second common approach to defining truth values that does not rely on variable assignment functions .
-One now defines truth for quantified formulas syntactically , as follows:
-The interpretation is extended so that each new constant symbol is assigned to its corresponding element of the domain .
-Instead, given an interpretation M, one first adds to the signature a collection of constant symbols , one for each element of the domain of discourse in M; say that for each d in the domain the constant symbol cd is fixed.
-Satisfiability of formulas with free variables is more complicated, because an interpretation on its own does not determine the truth value of such a formula .
-The most common convention is that a formula with free variables is said to be satisfied by an interpretation if the formula remains true regardless which individuals from the domain of discourse are assigned to its free variables.
-The most common convention is that a formula with free variables is said to be satisfied by an interpretation if the formula remains true regardless which individuals from the domain of discourse are assigned to its free variables .
-This has the same effect as saying that a formula is satisfied if and only if its universal closure is satisfied.
-Infinitary logic generalizes first-order logic to allow formulas of infinite length.
-The most common way in which formulas can become infinite is through infinite conjunctions and disjunctions .
-However, it is also possible to admit generalized signatures in which function and relation symbols are allowed to have infinite arities, or in which quantifiers can bind infinitely many variables.
-Because an infinite formula cannot be represented by a finite string, it is necessary to choose some other representation of formulas; the usual representation in this context is a tree .
-Thus formulas are, essentially, identified with their parse trees , rather than with the strings being parsed.
-The set of free variables in a formula of Lκω can have any cardinality strictly less than κ, yet only finitely many of them can be in the scope of any quantifier when a formula appears as a subformula of another.
-In other infinitary logics , a subformula may be in the scope of infinitely many quantifiers.
-The set of free variables in a formula of Lκω can have any cardinality strictly less than κ, yet only finitely many of them can be in the scope of any quantifier when a formula appears as a subformula of another.
-For example, in Lκ∞ , a single universal or existential quantifier may bind arbitrarily many variables simultaneously.
-Similarly, the logic Lκλ permits simultaneous quantification over fewer than λ variables, as well as conjunctions and disjunctions of size less than κ.
-Unlike first-order logic , for which only one semantics is studied, there are several possible semantics for second-order logic.
-Unlike first-order logic, for which only one semantics is studied, there are several possible semantics for second-order logic.
-The combination of additional quantifiers and the full semantics for these quantifiers makes higher-order logic stronger than first-order logic.
-The most commonly employed semantics for second-order and higher-order logic is known as full semantics .
-In particular, the (semantic) logical consequence relation for second-order and higher-order logic is not semidecidable; there is no effective deduction system for second-order logic that is sound and complete under full semantics.
-However, the compactness theorem can be used to show that connected graphs are not an elementary class in first-order logic, and there is no formula φ(x,y) of first-order logic, in the logic of graphs, that expresses the idea that there is a path from x to y. Connectedness can be expressed in second-order logic , however, but not with only existential set quantifiers, as .....Σ..1...1.....{\displaystyle \Sigma _{1}^{1}}.. also enjoys compactness.
-For example, in computer science, many situations can be modeled as a directed graph of states ( nodes ) and connections (directed edges).

-Second-order logic with full semantics is more expressive than first-order logic.
-For example, it is possible to create axiom systems in second-order logic that uniquely characterize the natural numbers and the real line.
-The cost of this expressiveness is that second-order and higher-order logics have fewer attractive metalogical properties than first-order logic.
-For example, the Löwenheim–Skolem theorem and compactness theorem of first-order logic become false when generalized to higher-order logics with full semantics.
-For example, the Löwenheim–Skolem theorem and compactness theorem of first-order logic become false when generalized to higher-order logics with full semantics.

-Some proof verifiers, such as Metamath , insist on having a complete derivation as input.
- Others, such as Mizar and Isabelle , take a well-formatted proof sketch (which may still be very long and detailed) and fill in the missing pieces by doing simple proof searches or applying known decision procedures: the resulting derivation is then verified by a small, core "kernel".

-Restrictions such as these are useful as a technique to reduce the number of inference rules or axiom schemas in deductive systems, which leads to shorter proofs of metalogical results.

-The Löwenheim–Skolem theorem shows that if a first-order theory of cardinality λ has an infinite model, then it has models of every infinite cardinality greater than or equal to λ.
-The Löwenheim–Skolem theorem implies that infinite structures cannot be categorically axiomatized in first-order logic.
-Since the real line is infinite, any theory satisfied by the real line is also satisfied by some nonstandard models.
-For example, there is no first-order theory whose only model is the real line: any first-order theory with an infinite model also has a model of cardinality larger than the continuum .
-When the Löwenheim–Skolem theorem is applied to first-order set theories, the nonintuitive consequences are known as Skolem's paradox .
-The compactness theorem states that a set of first -order sentences has a model if and only if every finite subset of it has a model.
-The compactness theorem states that a set of first-order sentences has a model if and only if every finite subset of it has a model.
-This theorem was proved first by Kurt Gödel as a consequence of the completeness theorem, but many additional proofs have been obtained over time.
-It is a central tool in model theory , providing a fundamental method for constructing models.

-With hockey pucks approaching them at speeds of up to 100 mph they must wear equipment with more protection.
-Goaltenders wear specialty goalie skates , (these skates are built more for movement side to side rather than forwards and backwards) a jock or jill, large leg pads, (there are size restrictions in certain leagues) blocking glove, catching glove, a chest protector, a goalie mask, and a large jersey.

-Goaltender's equipment has continually become larger and larger leading to fewer goals in each game and many official rule changes .
-In addition, they must be rigid and tough to protect the skater's feet from contact with other skaters, sticks, pucks, the boards, and the ice itself .
-Blade length, thickness (width), and curvature (rocker/radius (front to back) and radius of hollow (across the blade width) are quite different from speed or figure skates.
-Rigidity also improves the overall maneuverability of the skate .
-Most skate's width are about an 1/8 of an inch thick .
-The curve itself has a big impact on its performance.
-A deep curve allows for lifting the puck easier while a shallow curve allows for easier backhand shots .
-A deep curve allows for lifting the puck easier while a shallow curve allows for easier backhand shots.
-The ice hockey stick consists of a long, relatively wide, and slightly curved flat blade , attached to a shaft.
-Typically, a less flexible stick is meant for a stronger player since the player is looking for the right balanced flex that allows the stick to flex easily while still having a strong "whip-back" which sends the puck flying at high speeds.
-Ice hockey is a full contact sport and carries a high risk of injury.
-Women's ice hockey players can have contact but are not allowed to body check .
-Players are moving at speeds around approximately 20 – 30 mph and quite a bit of the game revolves around the physical contact between the players.
-Some common injuries are concussions, broken bones, hyperextensions, and muscle strains .
-Players are moving at speeds around approximately 20 – 30 mph and quite a bit of the game revolves around the physical contact between the players.
-According to the Hughston Health Alert, " Lacerations to the head, scalp, and face are the most frequent types of injury [in hockey]."[citation needed] Even a shallow cut to the head results in a loss of a large amount of blood.
-Not only are lacerations common, "it is estimated that direct trauma accounts for 80% of all [hockey] injuries.
-Due to the danger of delivering a check from behind , many leagues, including the NHL have made this a major and game misconduct penalty (called "boarding").
-Another type of check that accounts for many of the player-to-player contact concussions is a check to the head resulting in a misconduct penalty (called "head contact").

-An important defensive tactic is checking—attempting to take the puck from an opponent or to remove the opponent from play.
-An important defensive tactic is checking— attempting to take the puck from an opponent or to remove the opponent from play .
-Stick checking, sweep checking, and poke checking are legal uses of the stick to obtain possession of the puck.
-Body checking is using one's shoulder or hip to strike an opponent who has the puck or who is the last to have touched it (the last person to have touched the puck is still legally "in possession" of it, although a penalty is generally called if he is checked more than two seconds after his last touch).
-Often the term checking is used to refer to body checking , with its true definition generally only propagated among fans of the game.
-NHL rules instated for the 2006 season redefined the offside rule to make the two-line pass legal; a player may pass the puck from behind his own blue line, past both that blue line and the centre red line, to a player on the near side of the opponents' blue line.
-Offensive tactics are designed ultimately to score a goal by taking a shot. When a player purposely directs the puck towards the opponent's goal, he or she is said to "shoot" the puck.
-When a player purposely directs the puck towards the opponent's goal, he or she is said to " shoot " the puck.
-Offensive tactics include improving a team's position on the ice by advancing the puck out of one's zone towards the opponent's zone, progressively by gaining lines, first your own blue line, then the red line and finally the opponent's blue line.
-A deflection is a shot that redirects a shot or a pass towards the goal from another player , by allowing the puck to strike the stick and carom towards the goal.
-A one-timer is a shot struck directly off a pass, without receiving the pass and shooting in two separate actions.
-Headmanning the puck, also known as  breaking out, is the tactic of rapidly passing to the player farthest down the ice.

-Loafing , also known as cherry-picking, is when a player, usually a forward, skates behind an attacking team, instead of playing defense, in an attempt to create an easy scoring chance.
-Forechecking is the act of attacking the opposition in their defensive zone .
-shooting the puck into the offensive zone and then chasing after it ).
-Each team will use their own unique system but the main ones are: 2–1–2, 1–2–2, and 1–4 .
-The 1–4 is the most defensive forecheck system, referred to as the neutral zone trap, where one forward will apply pressure to the puck carrier around the oppositions' blueline and the other 4 players stand basically in a line by their blueline in hopes the opposition will skate into one of them.
-The 2–1–2 is the most basic forecheck system where two forwards will go in deep and pressure the opposition's defencemen, the third forward stays high and the two defencemen stay at the blueline.
-Cycling moves the puck along the boards in the offensive zone to create a scoring chance by making defenders tired or moving them out of position.

-A saucer pass is a pass used when an opposition's stick or body is in the passing lane.
-British soldiers and immigrants to Canada and the United States brought their stick-and-ball games with them and played them on the ice and snow of winter.

-In ice hockey, infractions of the rules lead to play stoppages whereby the play is restarted at a face off.
-In the simplest case, the offending player is sent to the " penalty box " and their team has to play with one fewer player on the ice for a designated amount of time.
-Minor penalties last for two minutes , major penalties last for five minutes, and a double minor penalty is two consecutive penalties of two minutes duration.
-Minor penalties last for two minutes, major penalties last for five minutes , and a double minor penalty is two consecutive penalties of two minutes duration.

-As of the 2005–2006 season , a minor penalty is also assessed for "diving", where a player embellishes or simulates an offence.
-a four-minute double-minor penalty, particularly those that injure the victimized player.
-The foul of "boarding" (defined as "check[ing] an opponent in such a manner that causes the opponent to be thrown violently in the boards") is penalized either by a minor or major penalty at the discretion of the referee, based on the violent state of the hit.
-A two-minute minor penalty is often charged for lesser infractions such as "tripping", "elbowing", "roughing", "high-sticking", "delay of the game", "too many players on the ice", " boarding ", illegal equipment, "charging" (leaping into an opponent or body-checking him after taking more than two strides), "holding", holding the stick (grabbing an opponent's stick), "interference", "hooking", "slashing", "kneeing", "unsportsmanlike conduct" (arguing a penalty call with referee, extremely vulgar or inappropriate verbal comments), "butt-ending" (striking an opponent with the knob of the stick—a very rare penalty), "spearing", or "cross-checking".
-Five-minute major penalties are called for especially violent instances of most minor infractions that result in intentional injury to an opponent, or when a "minor" penalty results in visible injury (such as bleeding) , as well as for fighting.
-In the case of two players being assessed five-minute fighting majors , both the players serve five minutes without their team incurring a loss of player (both teams still have a full complement of players on the ice).
-However, in the NHL, a team always has at least three skaters on the ice.
-The offending player is ejected from the game and must immediately leave the playing surface (he does not sit in the penalty box); meanwhile, if an additional minor or major penalty is assessed, a designated player must serve out of that segment of the penalty in the box (similar to the above-mentioned "two-and-ten").
-In some rare cases, a player may receive up to nineteen minutes in penalties for one string of plays.
-In this case, both teams will have only four skating players (not counting the goaltender) until one or both penalties expire (if one penalty expires before the other, the opposing team gets a power play for the remainder of the time); this applies regardless of current pending penalties.
-A "penalty shot" is awarded to a player when the illegal actions of another player stop a clear scoring opportunity, most commonly when the player is on a "breakaway" .
-A penalty shot allows the obstructed player to pick up the puck on the centre red-line and attempt to score on the goalie with no other players on the ice, to compensate for the earlier missed scoring opportunity.

-A player is "offside" if he enters his opponent's zone before the puck itself. Under many situations, a player may not "ice the puck", shoot the puck all the way across both the centre line and the opponent's goal line.
-The puck goes "out of play" whenever it goes past the perimeter of the ice rink (onto the player benches, over the "glass," or onto the protective netting above the glass) and a stoppage of play is called by the officials using whistles. It also does not matter if the puck comes back onto the ice surface from those areas as the puck is considered dead once it leaves the perimeter of the rink.

-For three-dimensional systems, a convention is to portray the xy-plane horizontally, with the z axis added to represent height (positive up).
-Furthermore, there is a convention to orient the x-axis toward the viewer, biased either to the right or left .
-In such a 2D diagram of a 3D coordinate system, the z axis would appear as a line or ray pointing down and to the left or down and to the right, depending on the presumed viewer or camera perspective .
- If a diagram (3D projection or 2D perspective drawing) shows the x and y axis horizontally and vertically, respectively, then the z axis should be shown pointing "out of the page" towards the viewer or camera .
-All laws of physics and math assume this right-handedness , which ensures consistency.
-If (x, y) are the Cartesian coordinates of a point, then (−x, y) are the coordinates of its reflection across the second coordinate axis (the Y-axis) , as if that line were a mirror.
- Likewise, (x, −y) are the coordinates of its reflection across the first coordinate axis ( the X-axis ).

-Once the x- and y-axes are specified, they determine the line along which the z-axis should lie, but there are two possible directions on this line.

-There is no natural interpretation of multiplying vectors to obtain another vector that works in all dimensions, however there is a way to use complex numbers to provide such a multiplication.
-In a two dimensional cartesian plane, identify the point with coordinates (x, y) with the complex number z = x + iy .
-Here, i is the imaginary unit and is identified with the point with coordinates (0, 1) , so it is not the unit vector in the direction of the x-axis.
-Here, i is the imaginary unit and is identified with the point with coordinates (0, 1), so it is not the unit vector in the direction of the x-axis.
-Cartesian coordinates are an abstraction that have a multitude of possible applications in the real world.
- However, three constructive steps are involved in superimposing coordinates on a problem application.
- 1) Units of distance must be decided defining the spatial size represented by the numbers used as coordinates.
-An origin must be assigned to a specific spatial location or landmark, and 3) the orientation of the axes must be defined using available directional cues for (n-1) of the n axes.

-Tin is unique among other mineral commodities by the complex "agreements" between producer countries and consumer countries dating back to 1921.
-The earlier agreements tended to be somewhat informal and sporadic; they led to the "First International Tin Agreement" in 1956, the first of a.continuously numbered series that essentially collapsed in 1985.
-Through this series of agreements, the International Tin Council (ITC) had a considerable effect on tin prices.
-However, the buffer stockpile was not sufficiently large, and during most of those 29 years tin prices rose, sometimes sharply, especially from 1973 through 1980 when rampant inflation plagued many world economies.

-Tin is often recovered from granules washed downstream in the past and deposited in valleys or under sea.
-Because of the higher specific gravity of tin dioxide, about 80% of mined tin is from secondary deposits found downstream from the primary lodes.
-The most economical ways of mining tin are through dredging, hydraulic methods or open cast mining. Most of the world's tin is produced from placer deposits, which may contain as little as 0.015% tin.

-The ITC continued to borrow until late 1985 , when it reached its credit limit.
-The sharp recession of 1981–82 proved to be quite harsh on the tin industry.
-Immediately, a major "tin crisis" followed — tin was delisted from trading on the London Metal Exchange for about three years, the ITC dissolved soon afterward, and the price of tin, now in a free-market environment, plummeted sharply to $4 per pound and remained around this level through the 1990s.

-Feminist scholars, particularly those from the late 20th and early 21st centuries to the present-day, have revisited diverse writings, oral histories, artwork, and artifacts of women of color, working-class women, and lesbians during the early 1960s to the early 1980s to decenter the dominant historical narratives of the second-wave of the women's liberation movement, allowing the scope of the historical understanding of feminist consciousness to expand and transform.
-By recovering histories that have been erased and overlooked, new forms of consciousness are created, establishing alternative registers of moral and political meaning and authority through what Maylei Blackwell termed "retrofitted memory."

-In versions of Windows after and including Windows 2000 SP3 and Windows XP , updates can be automatically downloaded and installed if the user selects to do so.
-As a result, Service Pack 2 for Windows XP, as well as Service Pack 1 for Windows Server 2003 , were installed by users more quickly than it otherwise might have been.
-The Windows NT series of operating systems, by contrast, are true multi-user, and implement absolute memory protection.
-However, a lot of the advantages of being a true multi-user operating system were nullified by the fact that, prior to Windows Vista, the first user account created during the setup process was an administrator account , which was also the default for new accounts.
-Though Windows XP did have limited accounts, the majority of home users did not change to an account type with fewer rights – partially due to the number of programs which unnecessarily required administrator rights – and so most home users ran as administrator all the time.
-that, prior to Windows Vista, the first user account created during the setup process was an administrator account , which was also the default for new accounts.
-Windows Vista changes this by introducing a privilege elevation system called User Account Control .
-When an application requests higher privileges or "Run as administrator" is clicked, UAC will prompt for confirmation and, if consent is given (including administrator credentials if the account requesting the elevation is not a member of the administrators group), start the process using the unrestricted token.
-User applications, including the Windows Shell, are then started with the restricted token, resulting in a reduced privilege environment even under an Administrator account.

-All Windows versions from Windows NT 3 have been based on a file system permission system referred to as AGLP (Accounts, Global, Local, Permissions) AGDLP which in essence where file permissions are applied to the file/folder in the form of a 'local group' which then has other 'global groups' as members.
-However using this process of AGLP/AGDLP/AGUDLP allows a small number of static permissions to be applied and allows for easy changes to the account groups without reapplying the file permissions on the files and folders .
-However using this process of AGLP/AGDLP/AGUDLP allows a small number of static permissions to be applied and allows for easy changes to the account groups without reapplying the file permissions on the files and folders.
-This system varies from other vendor products such as Linux and NetWare due to the 'static' allocation of permission being applied directory to the file or folder.

-Several plant species, the "pioneer crops" or Neolithic founder crops were named by Daniel Zohary , who highlighted importance of the three cereals, and suggesting domestication of flax, pea, chickpea, bitter vetch and lentil came a little later.
-Gordon Hillman and Stuart Davies carried out experiments with wild wheat varieties to show that the process of domestication would have happened over a relatively short period of between twenty and two hundred years .
-Wild lentils present a different challenge that needed to be overcome: most of the wild seeds do not germinate in the first year ; the first evidence of lentil domestication, breaking dormancy in their first year, was found in the early Neolithic at Jerf el Ahmar (in modern Syria), and quickly spread south to the Netiv HaGdud site in the Jordan Valley.
-Based on analysis of the genes of domesticated plants, he preferred theories of a single, or at most a very small number of domestication events for each taxa that spread in an arc from the Levantine corridor around the fertile crescent and later into Europe.

-The Fertile Crescent region of Southwest Asia is the centre of domestication for three cereals ( einkorn wheat, emmer wheat and barley ) four legumes (lentil, pea, bitter vetch and chickpea) and flax.
-The Mediterranean climate consists of a long dry season with a short period of rain, which may have favored small plants with large seeds, like wheat and barley.[citation needed] The Fertile Crescent also had a large area of varied geographical settings and altitudes and this variety may have made agriculture more profitable for former hunter-gatherers in this region in comparison with other areas with a similar climate .[citation needed]

-On the African continent, three areas have been identified as independently developing agriculture: the Ethiopian highlands, the Sahel and West Africa.
- .Many grinding stones are found with the early Egyptian Sebilian and Mechian cultures and evidence has been found of a neolithic domesticated crop-based economy dating around 7,000 BP .
-.Unlike the Middle East, this evidence appears as a "false dawn" to agriculture, as the sites were later abandoned, and permanent farming then was delayed until 6,500 BP with the Tasian and Badarian cultures and the arrival of crops and animals from the Near East.

-By contrast,   Agriculture in the Nile River Valley is thought to have developed from the original Neolithic Revolution in the Fertile Crescent.
-During the next millennia it would transform the small and mobile groups of hunter-gatherers that had hitherto dominated human pre-history into sedentary (here meaning non-nomadic) societies based in built-up villages and towns.

-This transition everywhere seems associated with a change from a largely nomadic hunter-gatherer way of life to a more settled, agrarian-based one , with the inception of the domestication of various plant and animal species—depending on the species locally available, and probably also influenced by local culture.
-Once agriculture started gaining momentum, human activity resulted in the selective breeding of cereal grasses (beginning with emmer, einkorn and barley), and not simply of those that would favour greater caloric returns through larger seeds.
-Plants that rapidly shed their seeds on maturity tended not to be gathered at harvest, therefore not stored and not seeded the following season; years of harvesting selected for strains that retained their edible seeds longer.

-This seems to confirm the theories of Carl Sauer who, in "Agricultural Origins and Dispersals", suggested as early as 1952 that this region was a centre of early agriculture.
-When hunter-gathering began to be replaced by sedentary food production it became more profitable to keep animals close at hand.
-The animals' size, temperament, diet, mating patterns, and life span were factors in the desire and success in domesticating animals.
-Animals that provided milk , such as cows and goats, offered a source of protein that was renewable and therefore quite valuable.
-Besides being a direct source of food, certain animals could provide leather, wool, hides, and fertilizer .
-Some of the earliest domesticated animals included dogs ( East Asia , about 15,000 years ago), sheep, goats, cows, and pigs.
-This area was also the first region to domesticate the dromedary camel .

-Some authors, like Jared Diamond, have postulated that this East-West axis is the main reason why plant and animal domestication spread so quickly from the Fertile Crescent to the rest of Eurasia and North Africa , while it did not reach through the North-South axis of Africa to reach the Mediterranean climates of South Africa, where temperate crops were successfully imported by ships in the last 500 years.
-This is now questioned in view of findings by archaeologists and paleopathologists showing that nutritional standards of Neolithic populations were generally inferior to that of hunter-gatherers, and that their life expectancy may well have been shorter too, in part due to diseases and harder work - hunter-gatherers must have covered their food needs with about 20 hours' work a week, while agriculture required much more and was at least as uncertain.

-The traditional view is that agricultural food production supported a denser population , which in turn supported larger sedentary communities, the accumulation of goods and tools, and specialization in diverse forms of new labor.
-Food surpluses made possible the development of a social elite who were not otherwise engaged in agriculture, industry or commerce, but dominated their communities by other means and monopolized decision-making.
-Jared Diamond (in The World Until Yesterday) identifies the availability of milk and/or cereal grains as permitting mothers to raise both an older (e.g. 3 or 4 year old) child and a younger child concurrently, whereas this was not possible previously.
- The result is that a population can significantly more-rapidly increase its size than would otherwise be the case, resources permitting.
-The development of larger societies led to the development of different means of decision making and to governmental organization .
-Sherratt argues that this phase in agricultural development enabled humans to make use of the energy possibilities of their animals in new ways, and permitted permanent intensive subsistence farming and crop production, and the opening up of heavier soils for farming.
-It also made possible nomadic pastoralism in semi arid areas, along the margins of deserts, and eventually led to the domestication of both the dromedary and Bactrian camel .
-Living in one spot would have more easily permitted the accrual of personal possessions and an attachment to certain areas of land.
-From such a position, it is argued[by whom?], prehistoric people were able to stockpile food to survive lean times and trade unwanted surpluses with others .
-Once trade and a secure food supply were established, populations could grow , and society would have diversified into food producers and artisans, who could afford to develop their trade by virtue of the free time they enjoyed because of a surplus of food.
-Throughout the development of sedentary societies, disease spread more rapidly than it had during the time in which hunter-gatherer societies existed.
-Inadequate sanitary practices and the domestication of animals may explain the rise in deaths and sickness following the Neolithic Revolution, as diseases jumped from the animal to the human population.
-In concordance with a process of natural selection, the humans who first domesticated the big mammals quickly built up immunities to the diseases as within each generation the individuals with better immunities had better chances of survival.
-90% or more of many populations of the Americas were wiped out by European and African diseases before recorded contact with European explorers or colonists.
-Some cultures like the Inca Empire did have a large domestic mammal, the llama, but llama milk was not drunk, nor did llamas live in a closed space with humans, so the risk of contagion was limited.
-In his book Guns, Germs, and Steel, Jared Diamond argues that Europeans and East Asians benefited from an advantageous geographical location that afforded them a head start in the Neolithic Revolution.
-Being among the first to adopt agriculture and sedentary lifestyles, and neighboring other early agricultural societies with whom they could compete and trade, both Europeans and East Asians were also among the first to benefit from technologies such as firearms and steel swords.

-In addition, they developed resistances to infectious disease, such as smallpox , due to their close relationship with domesticated animals.
-Both shared the temperate climate ideal for the first agricultural settings, both were near a number of easily domesticable plant and animal species, and both were safer from attacks of other people than civilizations in the middle part of the Eurasian continent.
-The dispersal of Neolithic culture from the Middle East has recently been associated with the distribution of human genetic markers .
-In Africa, the spread of farming, and notably the Bantu expansion, is associated with the dispersal of Y-chromosome haplogroup E1b1a from West Africa .

-In Hawaii, Mount Waiʻaleʻale, on the island of Kauai, is notable for its extreme rainfall, as it has the second highest average annual rainfall on Earth, with 12,000 millimetres (460 in) .
- Storm systems affect the state with heavy rains between October and March .
- Local climates vary considerably on each island due to their topography, divisible into windward (Koʻolau) and leeward (Kona) regions based upon location relative to the higher mountains.

-Extratropical cyclones can bring cold and dangerous conditions with heavy rain and snow with winds exceeding 119 km/h (74 mph), (sometimes referred to as windstorms in Europe).
- When moist air tries to dislodge an arctic air mass, overrunning snow can result within the poleward side of the elongated precipitation band.
- In the Northern Hemisphere, poleward is towards the North Pole , or north.
-The band of precipitation that is associated with their warm front is often extensive, forced by weak upward vertical motion of air over the frontal boundary which condenses as it cools and produces precipitation within an elongated band, which is wide and stratiform, meaning falling out of nimbostratus clouds.
-Southwest of extratropical cyclones, curved cyclonic flow bringing cold air across the relatively warm water bodies can lead to narrow lake-effect snow bands .
-The stronger the temperature decrease with height, the deeper the clouds get, and the greater the precipitation rate becomes.
-Because of this temperature difference, warmth and moisture are transported upward, condensing into vertically oriented clouds (see satellite picture) which produce snow showers .
-Those bands bring strong localized snowfall which can be understood as follows: Large water bodies such as lakes efficiently store heat that results in significant temperature differences (larger than 13 °C or 23 °F) between the water surface and the air above .
-The wet, or rainy, season is the time of year, covering one or more months, when most of the average annual rainfall in a region falls.
- Tropical rainforests technically do not have dry or wet seasons, since their rainfall is equally distributed through the year.
-Savanna climates and areas with monsoon regimes have wet summers and dry winters.
- When the wet season occurs during the warm season, or summer, rain falls mainly during the late afternoon and early evening hours.
- Developing countries have noted that their populations show seasonal weight fluctuations due to food shortages seen before the first harvest, which occurs late in the wet season.
-Tropical cyclones, a source of very heavy rainfall, consist of large air masses several hundred miles across with low pressure at the centre and with winds blowing inward towards the centre in either a clockwise direction (southern hemisphere) or counterclockwise (northern hemisphere).

- Drought can kill crops and increase erosion, while overly wet weather can cause harmful fungus growth.
- Drought can kill crops and increase erosion, while overly wet weather can cause harmful fungus growth .
- All plants need at least some water to survive, therefore rain (being the most effective means of watering) is important to agriculture.

-Hawaii was the only region to show a decrease (-9.25%).
-The urban heat island warms cities 0.6 to 5.6 °C (1.1 to 10.1 °F) above surrounding suburbs and rural areas.
- This extra heat leads to greater upward motion, which can induce additional shower and thunderstorm activity.
- Rainfall rates downwind of cities are increased between 48% and 116% .
- Partly as a result of this warming, monthly rainfall is about 28% greater between 32 to 64 kilometres (20 to 40 mi) downwind of cities, compared with upwind.
-The Quantitative Precipitation Forecast (abbreviated QPF) is the expected amount of liquid precipitation accumulated over a specified time period over a specified area.
- Radar imagery forecasting techniques show higher skill than model forecasts within six to seven hours of the time of the radar image.
-Starting in the mid to late 1990s, QPFs were used within hydrologic forecast models to simulate impact to rivers throughout the United States.
- The forecasts can be verified through use of rain gauge measurements, weather radar estimates , or a combination of both.

-Other types of gauges include the popular wedge gauge (the cheapest rain gauge and most fragile), the tipping bucket rain gauge, and the weighing rain gauge.
-The wedge and tipping bucket gauges will have problems with snow.
-For those looking to measure rainfall the most inexpensively, a can that is cylindrical with straight sides will act as a rain gauge if left out in the open, but its accuracy will depend on what ruler is used to measure the rain with .
-Attempts to compensate for snow/ice by warming the tipping bucket meet with limited success, since snow may sublimate if the gauge is kept much above freezing.
-Weighing gauges with antifreeze should do fine with snow, but again, the funnel needs to be removed before the event begins.
- Bits of liquid or solid water in the atmosphere are known as hydrometeors.

-Snow crystals form when tiny supercooled cloud droplets (about 10 μm in diameter) freeze.
-Once a droplet has frozen, it grows in the supersaturated environment.
- This process is known as the Wegener–Bergeron–Findeisen process .
- The corresponding depletion of water vapour causes the droplets to evaporate , meaning that the ice crystals grow at the droplets' expense.
- These large crystals are an efficient source of precipitation, since they fall through the atmosphere due to their mass , and may collide and stick together in clusters, or aggregates.
-Snow crystals form when tiny supercooled cloud droplets (about 10 μm in diameter) freeze.

- Guinness World Records list the world's largest snowflakes as those of January 1887 at Fort Keogh, Montana ; allegedly one measured 38 cm (15 inches) wide.
- These aggregates are snowflakes , and are usually the type of ice particle that falls to the ground.
-Although the ice is clear, scattering of light by the crystal facets and hollows/imperfections mean that the crystals often appear white in color due to diffuse reflection of the whole spectrum of light by the small ice particles.
-Rarely, at a temperature of around −2 °C (28 °F) , snowflakes can form in threefold symmetry—triangular snowflakes.

-However, microwave sensors fly only on low Earth orbit satellites, and there are few enough of them that the average time between observations exceeds three hours. This several-hour interval is insufficient to adequately document precipitation because of the transient nature of most precipitation systems as well as the inability of a single satellite to appropriately capture the typical daily cycle of precipitation at a given location.

-The difficulties in using gauge data are that 1) their availability is limited, as noted above, and 2) the best analyses of gauge data take two months or more after the observation time to undergo the necessary transmission, assembly, processing and quality control.
-As a result, while estimates that include gauge data may provide a more accurate depiction of the "true" precipitation, they are generally not suited for real- or near-real-time applications.
-In other cases, the goal is producing the best instantaneous satellite estimate, which is the High Resolution Precipitation Product approach. In either case, of course, the less-emphasized goal is also considered desirable.
-One key result of the multi-satellite studies is that including even a small amount of surface gauge data is very useful for controlling the biases that are endemic to satellite estimates. The difficulties in using gauge data are that 1) their availability is limited, as noted above, and 2) the best analyses of gauge data take two months or more after the observation time to undergo the necessary transmission, assembly, processing and quality control.

-The Köppen classification depends on average monthly values of temperature and precipitation.  The most commonly used form of the Köppen classification has five primary types labeled A through E. Specifically, the primary types are A, tropical; B, dry; C, mild mid-latitude; D, cold mid-latitude; and E, polar.

- The most commonly used form of the Köppen classification has five primary types labeled A through E. Specifically, the primary types are A, tropical; B, dry; C, mild mid-latitude; D, cold mid-latitude ; and E, polar.
-The five primary classifications can be further divided into secondary classifications such as rain forest, monsoon, tropical savanna, humid subtropical, humid continental, oceanic climate , Mediterranean climate, steppe, subarctic climate, tundra, polar ice cap, and desert.
-Stratiform or dynamic precipitation occurs as a consequence of slow ascent of air in synoptic systems (on the order of cm/s), such as over surface cold fronts, and over and ahead of warm fronts.
- A wide variety of weather can be found along an occluded front, with thunderstorms possible, but usually their passage is associated with a drying of the air mass.
- Occluded fronts usually form around mature low-pressure areas .
- When it gets cold, Mars has precipitation that most likely takes the form of ice needles , rather than rain or snow.
-Convective rain , or showery precipitation, occurs from convective clouds, e.g., cumulonimbus or cumulus congestus.
-Convective rain, or showery precipitation, occurs from convective clouds, e.g., cumulonimbus or cumulus congestus.
-Convective precipitation falls over a certain area for a relatively short time, as convective clouds have limited horizontal extent .
- In mid-latitudes, convective precipitation is intermittent and often associated with baroclinic boundaries such as cold fronts, squall lines, and warm fronts.
-Convective rain, or showery precipitation, occurs from convective clouds, e.g., cumulonimbus or cumulus congestus.
- In mountainous parts of the world subjected to relatively consistent winds (for example, the trade winds), a more moist climate usually prevails on the windward side of a mountain than on the leeward or downwind side.
-Orographic precipitation occurs on the windward side of mountains and is caused by the rising air motion of a large-scale flow of moist air across the mountain ridge , resulting in adiabatic cooling and condensation.
-Orographic precipitation occurs on the windward side of mountains and is caused by the rising air motion of a large-scale flow of moist air across the mountain ridge, resulting in adiabatic cooling and condensation.
-Moisture is removed by orographic lift, leaving drier air (see katabatic wind) on the descending and generally warming, leeward side where a rain shadow is observed.
-The dew point is the temperature to which a parcel must be cooled in order to become saturated, and (unless super-saturation occurs) condenses to water.
- Water vapour normally begins to condense on condensation nuclei such as dust, ice, and salt in order to form clouds.
- Water vapour normally begins to condense on condensation nuclei such as dust, ice, and salt in order to form clouds.
- Stratus is a stable cloud deck which tends to form when a cool, stable air mass is trapped underneath a warm air mass.
- An elevated portion of a frontal zone forces broad areas of lift, which form clouds decks such as altostratus or cirrostratus .
-There are four main mechanisms for cooling the air to its dew point: adiabatic cooling, conductive cooling, radiational cooling, and evaporative cooling.
-Adiabatic cooling occurs when air rises and expands.
-Conductive cooling occurs when the air comes into contact with a colder surface, usually by being blown from one surface to another, for example from a liquid water surface to colder land.
- Radiational cooling occurs due to the emission of infrared radiation, either by the air or by the surface underneath.
- Evaporative cooling occurs when moisture is added to the air through evaporation, which forces the air temperature to cool to its wet-bulb temperature, or until it reaches saturation.
-Coalescence occurs when water droplets fuse to create larger water droplets, or when water droplets freeze onto an ice crystal, which is known as the Bergeron process.
-Coalescence occurs when water droplets fuse to create larger water droplets, or when water droplets freeze onto an ice crystal, which is known as the Bergeron process .
- When air turbulence occurs, water droplets collide, producing larger droplets .
-As these larger water droplets descend, coalescence continues, so that drops become heavy enough to overcome air resistance and fall as rain .
-The fall rate of very small droplets is negligible , hence clouds do not fall out of the sky; precipitation will only occur when these coalesce into larger drops.
-Raindrops have sizes ranging from 0.1 millimetres (0.0039 in) to 9 millimetres (0.35 in) mean diameter, above which they tend to break up.
-Raindrops have sizes ranging from 0.1 millimetres (0.0039 in) to 9 millimetres (0.35 in) mean diameter, above which they tend to break up .
-Smaller drops are called cloud droplets , and their shape is spherical.
-As a raindrop increases in size, its shape becomes more oblate , with its largest cross-section facing the oncoming airflow.
- Rain drops associated with melting hail tend to be larger than other rain drops.
-Ice pellets form when a layer of above-freezing air exists with sub-freezing air both above and below.
- However, if the sub-freezing layer beneath the warm layer is too small, the precipitation will not have time to re-freeze, and freezing rain will be the result at the surface.
- This causes the partial or complete melting of any snowflakes falling through the warm layer.
- A temperature profile showing a warm layer above the ground is most likely to be found in advance of a warm front during the cold season, but can occasionally be found behind a passing cold front.
- This causes the partial or complete melting of any snowflakes falling through the warm layer.
-Like other precipitation, hail forms in storm clouds when supercooled water droplets freeze on contact with condensation nuclei, such as dust or dirt.
- The storm's updraft blows the hailstones to the upper part of the cloud.
- Hail has a diameter of 5 millimetres (0.20 in) or more.
- GR is derived from the French word grêle .
- The hailstone then may undergo ' wet growth ', where the liquid outer shell collects other smaller hailstones.
-Until British supplies began to arrive in appreciable quantities in 1944 , the occupiers were the only source of arms.
-One of two objectives of the movement, which was the military arm of the Unitary National Liberation Front (UNOF) coalition, led by the Communist Party of Yugoslavia (KPJ) and represented by the Anti-Fascist Council for the National Liberation of Yugoslavia (AVNNOJ) , the Yugoslav wartime deliberative assembly, was to fight the occupying forces.

- Chetnik ethnic cleansing policies against the Muslims in Eastern Bosnia, and Dalmatia alienated Croats and Muslims from joining the Chetniks.
-The Partisans played down communism in favour of a Popular Front approach which appealed to all Yugoslavs.
-The Chetniks were a mainly Serb-oriented group and their Serb nationalism resulted in an inability to recruit or appeal to many non- Serbs .
-Italian collaboration with Chetniks in northern Dalmatia resulted in atrocities which further galvanized support for the Partisans among Dalmatian Croats.
-In particular, Mussolini's policy of forced Italianization ensured the first significant number of Croats joining the Partisans in late 1941.

-An uprising occurred in Serbia two weeks later led by Tito (Uzice Republic), but it was quickly defeated by the Axis forces and support for the Partisans in Serbia thereafter dropped.
-Increase of number of Partisans in Serbia, similarly to other republics, came partly in response to Tito's offer of amnesty to all collaborators on 17 August 1944.

-Relief is a sculptural technique where the sculpted elements remain attached to a solid background of the same material. The term relief is from the Latin verb relevo, to raise.
-The term relief is from the Latin verb relevo, to raise .
-The technique involves considerable chiselling away of the background, which is a time-consuming exercise. On the other hand, a relief saves forming the rear of a subject, and is less fragile and more securely fixed than a sculpture in the round, especially one of a standing figure where the ankles are a potential weak point, especially in stone.

- In other materials such as metal, clay, plaster stucco, ceramics or papier-mache the form can be just added to or raised up from the background, and monumental bronze reliefs are made by casting .
-There are different degrees of relief depending on the degree of projection of the sculpted form from the field , for which the Italian appellations are still sometimes used.
- The full range includes high relief (alto-rilievo), where more than 50% of the depth is shown and there may be undercut areas , mid-relief (mezzo-rilievo), low-relief (basso-rilievo, or French: bas-relief /ˌbɑːrɪˈliːf/), and shallow-relief or rilievo schiacciato, where the plane is only very slightly lower than the sculpted elements.

- Most ancient architectural reliefs were originally painted, which helped to define forms in low relief. The subject of reliefs is for convenient reference assumed in this article to be usually figures, but sculpture in relief often depicts decorative geometrical or foliage patterns, as in the arabesques of Islamic art, and may be of any subject.

-The distinction between high and low relief is somewhat subjective, and the two are very often combined in a single work .
-From the Parthenon Frieze onwards, many single figures have heads in high relief , but their lower legs are in low relief; the slightly projecting figures created in this way work well in reliefs that are seen from below (see Moissac portal in gallery).
- As unfinished examples from various periods show, raised reliefs, whether high or low, were normally "blocked out" by marking the outline of the figure and reducing the background areas to the new background level, work no doubt performed by apprentices (see gallery).
-In particular, most later "high reliefs" contain sections in low relief, usually in the background .
-A bas-relief ("low relief", French pronunciation: ​[baʁəljɛf], from the Italian basso rilievo) or low relief is a projecting image with a shallow overall depth , for example used on coins, on which all images are in low relief.

-In the art of Ancient Egypt and other ancient Near Eastern and Asian cultures, and also Meso-America , a very low relief was commonly used for the whole composition.
-In the lowest reliefs the relative depth of the elements shown is completely distorted , and if seen from the side the image makes no sense, but from the front the small variations in depth register as a three-dimensional image.
-The Ishtar Gate of Babylon, now in Berlin , has low reliefs of large animals formed from moulded bricks, glazed in colour.

-Low relief may use any medium or technique of sculpture, stone carving and metal casting being most common.
-In later Western art, until a 20th-century revival, low relief was used mostly for smaller works or combined with higher relief to convey a sense of distance, or to give depth to the composition, especially for scenes with many figures and a landscape or architectural background, in the same way that lighter colours are used for the same purpose in painting.
-Thus figures in the foreground are sculpted in high-relief, those in the background in low-relief .
-Thus figures in the foreground are sculpted in high-relief , those in the background in low-relief.
- The typical traditional definition is that only up to half of the subject projects, and no elements are undercut or fully disengaged from the background field .
-Mid-relief, " half-relief " or mezzo-rilievo is somewhat imprecisely defined, and the term is not often used in English, the works usually being described as low relief instead.
- The depth of the elements shown is normally somewhat distorted .
- Shallow-relief or rilievo stiacciato, used for the background areas of compositions with the main elements in low-relief, was perfected by the Italian Renaissance sculptor Donatello.

-High-relief thus uses essentially the same style and techniques as free-standing sculpture , and in the case of a single figure gives largely the same view as a person standing directly in front of a free-standing statue would have.
-Most of the many grand figure reliefs in Ancient Greek sculpture used a very "high" version of high-relief , with elements often fully free of the background, and parts of figures crossing over each other to indicate depth.

-According to this investigation, TMS did not disrupt participants' ability to make any moral.judgment.
-On the contrary, moral judgments of intentional harms and nonharms were unaffected by TMS to either the RTPJ or the control site; presumably, however, people typically make moral judgments of intentional harms by considering not only the action's harmful outcome but the agent's intentions and beliefs .
-Alternatively, following TMS to the RTPJ, moral judgments might be made via an abnormal processing route that does not take belief into account.
-So why.were moral judgments of intentional harms not affected by TMS to the RTPJ ?

-Some evolutionary biologists, particularly sociobiologists , believe that morality is a product of evolutionary forces acting at an individual level and also at the group level through group selection (although to what degree this actually occurs is a controversial topic in evolutionary theory).
-Humans consequently evolved "pro-social" emotions , such as feelings of empathy or guilt, in response to these moral behaviors.
-Humans consequently evolved "pro-social" emotions, such as feelings of empathy or guilt , in response to these moral behaviors.
-On this understanding, moralities are sets of self-perpetuating and biologically-driven behaviors which encourage human cooperation .
-Biologists contend that all social animals, from ants to elephants, have modified their behaviors, by restraining immediate selfishness in order to improve their evolutionary fitness.
-Human morality , although sophisticated and complex relative to other animals, is essentially a natural phenomenon that evolved to restrict excessive individualism that could undermine a group's cohesion and thereby reducing the individuals' fitness.
-Human morality, although sophisticated and complex relative to other animals, is essentially a natural phenomenon that evolved to restrict excessive individualism that could undermine a group's cohesion and thereby reducing the individuals' fitness.
-On this view, moral codes are ultimately founded on emotional instincts and intuitions that were selected for in the past because they aided survival and reproduction (inclusive fitness).
-Examples: the maternal bond is selected for because it improves the survival of offspring; the Westermarck effect, where close proximity during early years reduces mutual sexual attraction, underpins taboos against incest because it decreases the likelihood of genetically risky behaviour such as inbreeding.

-The brain areas that are consistently involved when humans reason about moral issues have been investigated by a quantitative large-scale meta-analysis of the brain activity changes reported in the moral neuroscience literature.
- In fact, the neural network underlying moral decisions overlapped with the network pertaining to representing others' intentions (i.e., theory of mind) and the network pertaining to representing others' (vicariously experienced) emotional states (i.e., empathy).
-The brain areas that are consistently involved when humans reason about moral issues have been investigated by a quantitative large-scale meta-analysis of the brain activity changes reported in the moral neuroscience literature .
-This supports the notion that moral reasoning is related to both seeing things from other persons’ points of view and to grasping others’ feelings .
-These results provide evidence that the neural network underlying moral decisions is probably domain-global (i.e., there might be no such things as a "moral module" in the human brain) and might be dissociable into cognitive and affective sub-systems.

-In these devices lenses are sometimes paired up with curved mirrors to make a catadioptric system where the lens's spherical aberration corrects the opposite aberration in the mirror (such as Schmidt and meniscus correctors).
-Since ignition can be achieved even with a poorly made lens, lenses have been used as burning-glasses for at least 2400 years .
-Convex lenses produce an image of an object at infinity at their focus; if the sun is imaged, much of the visible and infrared light incident on the lens is concentrated into the small image.
-A modern application is the use of relatively large lenses to concentrate solar energy on relatively small photovoltaic cells , harvesting more energy without the need to use larger and more expensive cells.

-A lens is a transmissive optical device that affects the focus of a light beam through refraction .
-A simple lens consists of a single piece of material , while a compound lens consists of several simple lenses (elements), usually along a common axis.

-Lenses are made from transparent materials such as glass, ground and polished to a desired shape .
-The earliest written records of lenses date to Ancient Greece , with Aristophanes' play The Clouds (424 BC) mentioning a burning-glass (a biconvex lens used to focus the sun's rays to produce fire).
-Such lenses were used by artisans for fine work, and for authenticating seal impressions .
-The earliest written records of lenses date to Ancient Greece, with Aristophanes' play The Clouds (424 BC) mentioning a burning-glass (a biconvex lens used to focus the sun's rays to produce fire).
-The writings of Pliny the Elder (23–79) show that burning-glasses were known to the Roman Empire, and mentions what is arguably the earliest written reference to a corrective lens:
-Lenses came into widespread use in Europe with the invention of spectacles, probably in Italy in the 1280s .
-This was the start of the optical industry of grinding and polishing lenses for spectacles, first in Venice and Florence in the thirteenth century , and later in the spectacle-making centres in both the Netherlands and Germany.
-Spectacle makers created improved types of lenses for the correction of vision based more on empirical knowledge gained from observing the effects of the lenses (probably without the knowledge of the rudimentary optical theory of the day).
-The practical development and experimentation with lenses led to the invention of the compound optical microscope around 1595 , and the refracting telescope in 1608, both of which appeared in the spectacle-making centres in the Netherlands.

-Most lenses are spherical lenses: their two surfaces are parts of the surfaces of spheres.
-Most lenses are spherical lenses: their two surfaces are parts of the surfaces of spheres .
-Each surface can be convex (bulging outwards from the lens), concave (depressed into the lens), or planar (flat) .
-The line joining the centres of the spheres making up the lens surfaces is called the axis of the lens.
-a Barlow lens .
-It is also possible for the object distance S1 to be negative, in which case the lens sees a so-called virtual object .
-This happens when the lens is inserted into a converging beam (being focused by a previous lens) before the location of its real image.
-Using a positive lens of focal length f, a virtual image results when S1 < f, the lens thus being used a magnifying glass (rather than if S1 >> f as for a camera)
-For instance, when characterizing a visual telescope or binoculars that produce only a virtual image, one would be more concerned with the angular magnification—which expresses how much larger a distant object appears through the telescope compared to the naked eye.
-For instance, when characterizing a visual telescope or binoculars that produce only a virtual image, one would be more concerned with the angular magnification —which expresses how much larger a distant object appears through the telescope compared to the naked eye.
-The plate scale is the reciprocal of the focal length of the camera lens; lenses are categorized as long-focus lenses or wide-angle lenses according to their focal lengths .
-In the case of a camera one would quote the plate scale , which compares the apparent (angular) size of a distant object to the size of the real image produced at the focus.
-Linear magnification M is not always the most useful measure of magnifying power.
-For instance, using a magnifying glass of 5 cm focal length, held 20 cm from the eye and 5 cm from the object, produces a virtual image at infinity of infinite linear size: M = ∞. But the angular magnification is 5, meaning that the object appears 5 times larger to the eye than without the lens.
-When taking a picture of the moon using a camera with a 50 mm lens, one is not concerned with the linear magnification M ≈ −50 mm / 380000 km = −1.3×10−10.
-Using an inappropriate measurement of magnification can be formally correct but yield a meaningless number.
-For instance, using a magnifying glass of 5 cm focal length, held 20 cm from the eye and 5 cm from the object, produces a virtual image at infinity of infinite linear size: M = ∞.
-Spherical aberration occurs because spherical surfaces are not the ideal shape for a lens, but are by far the simplest shape to which glass can be ground and polished, and so are often used.
-This manifests itself as a blurring of the image.
-Spherical aberration occurs because spherical surfaces are not the ideal shape for a lens, but are by far the simplest shape to which glass can be ground and polished, and so are often used.
-Lenses in which closer-to-ideal, non-spherical surfaces are used are called aspheric lenses .
-For instance, a plano-convex lens , which is used to focus a collimated beam, produces a sharper focal spot when used with the convex side towards the beam source.
-Coma , or comatic aberration, derives its name from the comet-like appearance of the aberrated image.
-In general, a bundle of parallel rays passing through the lens at a fixed distance from the centre of the lens are focused to a ring-shaped image in the focal plane, known as a comatic circle .
-Coma, or comatic aberration, derives its name from the comet-like appearance of the aberrated image.
-Lenses in which both spherical aberration and coma are minimised are called bestform lenses.
-Lenses are classified by the curvature of the two optical surfaces .
-if both surfaces are convex .
-If both surfaces have the same radius of curvature , the lens is equiconvex.
-A lens with two concave surfaces is biconcave (or just concave).
-If one of the surfaces is flat , the lens is plano-convex or plano-concave depending on the curvature of the other surface.
-A negative meniscus lens has a steeper concave surface and is thinner at the centre than at the periphery .
-Convex-concave (meniscus) lenses can be either positive or negative, depending on the relative curvatures of the two surfaces .
-Conversely, a positive meniscus lens has a steeper convex surface and is thicker at the centre than at the periphery .

+A classic real-world example of this is the name of the predecessor to the Apple Macintosh, The Apple Lisa, which was said to refer to " Local Integrated Software Architecture ", but was actually named after Steve Jobs' daughter, born in 1978.
 All real lenses have nonzero thickness , however, which makes a real lens with identical curved surfaces slightly positive.
-To obtain exactly zero optical power, a meniscus lens must have slightly unequal curvatures to account for the effect of the lens' thickness.
-As mentioned above, a positive or converging lens in air focuses a collimated beam travelling along the lens axis to a spot (known as the focal point) at a distance f from the lens.
-The plane perpendicular to the lens axis situated at a distance f from the lens is called the focal plane.
-Conversely, a point source of light placed at the focal point is converted into a collimated beam by the lens .
-In the latter, an object at the focal length distance from the lens is imaged at infinity .
-The signs of the lens' radii of curvature indicate whether the corresponding surfaces are convex or concave .
-The sign convention used to represent this varies, but in this article a positive R indicates a surface's center of curvature is further along in the direction of the ray travel (right, in the accompanying diagrams), while negative R means that rays reaching the surface have already passed the center of curvature .

- Maurice Wilkes, David Wheeler, and Stanley Gill are credited with the invention of this concept, which they termed a closed subroutine, contrasted with an open subroutine or macro.
-A subroutine is often coded so that it can be started (called) several times and from several places during one execution of the program, including from other subroutines, and then branch back (return) to the next instruction after the call once the subroutine's task is done.

-Subroutines are a powerful programming tool , and the syntax of many programming languages includes support for writing and using them.
-will often substantially reduce the cost of developing and maintaining a large program , while increasing its quality and reliability.
-The discipline of object-oriented programming is based on objects and methods (which are subroutines attached to these objects or object classes).
-Subroutines, often collected into libraries , are an important mechanism for sharing and trading software.
-Judicious use of subroutines (for example, through the structured programming approach) will often substantially reduce the cost of developing and maintaining a large program, while increasing its quality and reliability.
-A subroutine call may also have side effects such as modifying data structures in a computer memory, reading from or writing to a peripheral device, creating a file, halting the program or the machine, or even delaying the program's execution for a specified time.
-A subprogram with side effects may return different results each time it is called , even if it is called with the same arguments.
-The widespread use of subroutines with side effects is a characteristic of imperative programming languages.
-An example is a random number function , available in many languages, that returns a different pseudo-random number each time it is called.

-Some programming languages, such as Pascal , Fortran, Ada and many dialects of BASIC, distinguish between functions or function subprograms, which provide an explicit return value to the calling program, and subroutines or procedures, which do not.
-Some programming languages, such as Pascal, Fortran, Ada and many dialects of BASIC, distinguish between functions or function subprograms, which provide an explicit return value to the calling program, and subroutines or procedures, which do not.
-In those languages, function calls are normally embedded in expressions (e.g., a sqrt function may be called as y =
-Other languages, such as C and Lisp , do not distinguish between functions and subroutines.
-Procedure calls either behave syntactically as statements (e.g., a print procedure may be called as if x > 0 then print(x) or are explicitly invoked by a statement such as CALL or GOSUB (e.g. call print(x)).
-The earliest computers and microprocessors, such as the Small-Scale Experimental Machine and the RCA 1802 , did not have a single subroutine call instruction.
-.Subroutines could be implemented, but they required programmers to use the call sequence —a series of instructions—at each call site.
-This allows arbitrarily deep levels of subroutine nesting , but does not support recursive subroutines.
-.Subroutines could be implemented, but they required programmers to use the call sequence— a series of instructions —at each call site.
-.Machines before the mid 1960s—such as the UNIVAC I, the PDP-1, and the IBM 1130—typically use a calling convention which saved the instruction counter in the first memory location of the called subroutine.
-In many early computers, the program instructions were entered into memory from a punched paper tape .
-The name subroutine library originally meant a library, in the literal sense, which kept indexed collections of such tapes or card decks for collective use .
-A similar approach was used in computers whose main input was through punched cards .
-Each subroutine could then be provided by a separate piece of tape, loaded or spliced before or after the main program ; and the same subroutine tape could then be used by many different programs.
-Most modern implementations use a call stack, a special case of the stack data structure , to implement subroutine calls and returns.
-Most modern implementations use a call stack, a special case of the stack data structure, to implement subroutine calls and returns .
-Each procedure call creates a new entry , called a stack frame, at the top of the stack; when the procedure returns, its stack frame is deleted from the stack, and its space may be used for other procedure calls.

 Each stack frame contains the private data of the corresponding call , which typically includes the procedure's parameters and internal variables, and the return address.
-When stack-based procedure calls were first introduced, an important motivation was to save precious memory .[citation needed] With this scheme, the compiler does not have to reserve separate space in memory for the private data (parameters, return address, and local variables) of each procedure.
-At any moment, the stack contains only the private data of the calls that are currently active (namely, which have been called but haven't returned yet).
-Indeed, the call stack mechanism can be viewed as the earliest and simplest method for automatic memory management .
-When stack-based procedure calls were first introduced, an important motivation was to save precious memory.[citation needed] With this scheme, the compiler does not have to reserve separate space in memory for the private data ( parameters, return address, and local variables ) of each procedure
-Because of the ways in which programs were usually assembled from libraries, it was (and still is) not uncommon to find programs that include thousands of subroutines, of which only a handful are active at any given moment.[citation needed] For such programs, the call stack mechanism could save significant amounts of memory. Indeed, the call stack mechanism can be viewed as the earliest and simplest method for automatic memory management.
-.To reduce that overhead, many modern compilers try to delay the use of a call stack until it is really needed .[citation needed] For example, the call of a procedure P may store the return address and parameters of the called procedure in certain processor registers, and transfer control to the procedure's body by a simple jump.
-This overhead is most obvious and objectionable in leaf procedures or leaf functions , which return without making any procedure calls themselves.
-This overhead is most obvious and objectionable in leaf procedures or leaf functions, which return without making any procedure calls themselves .
-If procedure P returns without making any other call , the call stack is not used at all.
-In the Visual Basic 6 language, subprograms are termed functions or subs (or methods when associated with a class).
-By default, an unspecified variable is registered as a variant type and can be passed as ByRef (default) or ByVal.

-In the Visual Basic 6 language, subprograms are termed functions or subs (or methods when associated with a class ).
-A subprogram may have any number and nature of call sites.
-Recursion is a useful means to simplify some complex algorithms, and breaking down complex problems .
-If recursion is supported, a subprogram may even call itself , causing its execution to suspend while another nested execution of the same subprogram occurs.
-If recursion is supported, a subprogram may even call itself, causing its execution to suspend while another nested execution of the same subprogram occurs .
-As nested calls accumulate, a call stack structure is formed , consisting of one activation record for each suspended subprogram.
-As nested calls accumulate, a call stack structure is formed, consisting of one activation record for each suspended subprogram .
-In fact, this stack structure is virtually ubiquitous, and so activation records are commonly termed stack frames .
-Modern languages after ALGOL such as PL/1 and C almost invariably use a stack, usually supported by most modern computer instruction sets to provide a fresh activation record for every execution of a subprogram.
-If a subprogram can function properly even when called while another execution is already in progress , that subprogram is said to be reentrant.
-A recursive subprogram must be reentrant .
-Reentrant subprograms are also useful in multi-threaded situations, since multiple threads can call the same subprogram without fear of interfering with each other .
-In the IBM CICS transaction processing system, quasi-reentrant was a slightly less restrictive , but similar, requirement for application programs that were shared by many threads.
-For example, a square root function might be defined to operate on reals, complex values or matrices .
-In strongly typed languages, it is sometimes desirable to have a number of functions with the same name, but operating on different types of data, or with different parameter profiles .
-By writing three separate functions with the same name, the programmer has the convenience of not having to remember different names for each type of data .
-Further if a subtype can be defined for the reals, to separate positive and negative reals, two functions can be written for the reals, one to return a real when the parameter is positive, and another to return a complex value when the parameter is negative .
-As another example, a subroutine might construct an object that will accept directions , and trace its path to these points on screen.
-There are a plethora of parameters that could be passed in to the constructor ( colour of the trace, starting x and y co-ordinates, trace speed ).
-If the programmer wanted the constructor to be able to accept only the color parameter, then he could call another constructor that accepts only color, which in turn calls the constructor with all the parameters passing in a set of default values for all the other parameters (X and Y would generally be centered on screen or placed at the origin, and the speed would be set to another value of the coder's choosing).

-Proponents of modular programming (modularizing code) advocate that each subroutine should have minimal dependency on other pieces of code .
-For example, the use of global variables is generally deemed unwise by advocates for this perspective, because it adds tight coupling between the subroutine and these global variables .
-For example, the use of global variables is generally deemed unwise by advocates for this perspective, because it adds tight coupling between the subroutine and these global variables.
-If such coupling is not necessary, their advice is to refactor subroutines to accept passed parameters instead .
-However, increasing the number of parameters passed to subroutines can affect code readability .
-There is a significant runtime overhead in a calling a subroutine, including passing the arguments, branching to the subprogram, and branching back to the caller .
-The overhead often includes saving and restoring certain processor registers, allocating and reclaiming call frame storage , etc..
-In some languages, each subroutine call also implies automatic testing of the subroutine's return code, or the handling of exceptions that it may raise .
-In object-oriented languages, a significant source of overhead is the intensively used dynamic dispatch for method calls.
-There are some seemingly obvious optimizations of procedure calls that cannot be applied if the procedures may have side effects .
-For example, in the expression (f(x)-1)/(f(x)+1), the function f must be called twice , because the two calls may return different results.
-For example, in the expression (f(x)-1)/(f(x)+1), the function f must be called twice, because the two calls may return different results .
-Moreover, the value of x must be fetched again before the second call , since the first call may have changed it.
-A method used to eliminate this overhead is inline expansion or inlining of the subprogram's body at each call site (versus branching to the subroutine and back).
-Not only does this avoid the call overhead, but it also allows the compiler to optimize the procedure's body more effectively by taking into account the context and arguments at that call.
-Not only does this avoid the call overhead, but it also allows the compiler to optimize the procedure's body more effectively by taking into account the context and arguments at that call. The inserted body can be optimized by the compiler.

- The swing bands of the 1930s utilized arrangements of saxophone and brass sections playing off each other in call-response patterns .
- The influence of tenor saxophonist Lester Young with the Count Basie Orchestra in the late 1930s and the tremendous popularity of Coleman Hawkins' 1939 recording of Body and Soul marked the saxophone as an influence on jazz equal to that of the trumpet, which had been the defining instrument of jazz since its beginnings in New Orleans.

-The player may also use alternate fingerings to bend the pitch .
-Sax's original keywork, which was based on the Triebert system 3 oboe for the left hand and the Boehm clarinet for the right, was very simplistic and made playing some legato passages and wide intervals extremely difficult to finger, so numerous developers added extra keys and alternate fingerings to make chromatic playing less difficult.
-A substantial advancement in saxophone keywork was the development of a method by which the left thumb operates both tone holes with a single octave key , which is now universal on modern saxophones.
- Further developments were made by Selmer in the 1930s and 40s, including offsetting tone holes and revamping the octave key mechanism, beginning with their balanced action instruments and continuing through their celebrated Mark VI line.[citation needed] One of the most radical, however temporary, revisions of saxophone keywork was made in the 1950s by M. Houvenaghel of Paris, who completely redeveloped the mechanics of the system to allow a number of notes (C♯, B, A, G, F and E♭) to be flattened by a semitone simply by pressing the right middle finger.

-The primary (military band) saxophone family alternates instruments in B♭ and E♭ .
-One company has recently revived production of the C soprano and C melody .
-The other (orchestral) family patented by Sax, alternating instruments in C and F , has always been marginal, although some manufacturers tried to popularise the soprano in C (or C soprano saxophone), the alto in F (or mezzo-soprano saxophone), and the tenor in C (or C melody saxophone) early in the twentieth century.
-The C melody enjoyed some success in the late 1920s and early 1930s as a parlor instrument.
-The fingering scheme of the saxophone , which has had only minor changes since the instrument's original invention, has presented inherent acoustic problems related to closed keys below the first open tonehole that affect response of, and slightly muffle, some notes.

-The Leblanc Rationale and System saxophones had key mechanics designed to remedy the acoustic problems associated with closed keys below the first open tonehole.
- Some Leblanc System features were built into the Vito Model 35 saxophones of the 1950s and 1960s.
- The acceptance of what was arguably a superior system was impaired by the adjustment required of players switching between System and non-System horns, and the added costs associated with the added complexity of certain key mechanisms.
- They also enabled the player to make half-step shifts of scales by depressing one key while keeping the rest of the fingering consistent with that of the fingering a half step away (which could also trip up players used to certain alternate fingerings on a regular saxophone).
- Some Leblanc System features were built into the Vito Model 35 saxophones of the 1950s and 1960s.

-However, as the lower-pitched instruments would be unacceptably long if straight, for ergonomic reasons, the larger instruments usually incorporate a U-bend ("bow") at, or slightly above, the third-lowest tone hole.
-This U-shape has become a distinctive feature of the saxophone family , to the extent that soprano and even sopranino saxes are sometimes made in the curved style, even though not strictly necessary.
-Most commonly, however, the alto and tenor saxophones incorporate a detachable, curved "neck" above the highest tone hole, directing the mouthpiece to the player's mouth while the instrument is held in a playing stance.
-This U-shape has become a distinctive feature of the saxophone family, to the extent that soprano and even sopranino saxes are sometimes made in the curved style, even though not strictly necessary.
-The baritone, bass and contrabass saxophones accommodate the length of the bore with extra bows and right angle bends between the main body and the mouthpiece.
-Because all saxophones use the same key arrangement and fingering to produce a given notated pitch, it is not difficult for a competent player to switch among the various sizes when the music has been suitably transposed, and many do so.
-Since the baritone and alto are pitched in E♭ , players can read concert pitch music notated in the bass clef by reading it as if it were treble clef and adding three sharps to the key signature.

-According to Larry Teal , the mouthpiece material has little, if any, effect on the sound, and the physical dimensions give a mouthpiece its tone colour.
- Mouthpiece design has a profound impact on tone.
-Mouthpieces come in a wide variety of materials, including vulcanized rubber (sometimes called hard rubber or ebonite), plastic, and metals such as bronze or surgical steel.
-Early mouthpieces were designed to produce a warm and round sound for classical playing.
- At the opposite extreme from the classical mouthpieces are those with a small chamber and a low clearance above the reed between the tip and the chamber, called high baffle .
-The use of the saxophone in dance orchestras and jazz ensembles put a premium on dynamic range, projection, and tonal richness, leading to rapid innovation in chamber shape and tip design, and metal construction .
-Saxophonists who follow the French school of classical saxophone playing, influenced by Marcel Mule , generally use mouthpieces with smaller chambers than Rascher style mouthpieces.
-Among classical mouthpieces, those with a concave ("excavated") chamber are more true to Adolphe Sax's original design; these provide a softer or less piercing tone favored by some saxophonists, including students of Sigurd Raschèr, for classical playing.

-One of the most well-known postmodernist concerns is " deconstruction ," a theory for philosophy, literary criticism, and textual analysis developed by Jacques Derrida.
-A deconstructive approach further depends on the techniques of close reading without reference to cultural, ideological, moral opinions or information derived from an authority over the text such as the author.
-Derrida discontinued his involvement with the movement after the publication of his collaborative project with architect Peter Eisenmann in Chora L Works: Jacques Derrida and Peter Eisenman.
-Derrida's philosophy inspired a postmodern movement called deconstructivism among architects, characterized by the intentional fragmentation, distortion, and dislocation of architectural elements in designing a building.
-Derrida's method frequently involves recognizing and spelling out the different, yet similar interpretations of the meaning of a given text and the problematic implications of binary oppositions within the meaning of a text.

-Furthermore, Modernism eroded urban living by its failure to recognise differences and aim towards homogenous landscapes (Simonsen 1990, 57).
-Within Modernism, urban planning represented a 20th-century move towards establishing something stable, structured, and rationalised within what had become a world of chaos, flux and change (Irving 1993, 475).
-The role of planners predating Postmodernism was one of the 'qualified professional' who believed they could find and implement one single 'right way' of planning new urban establishments (Irving 1993).
-One of the greater problems with Modernist-style of planning was the disregard of resident or public opinion , which resulted in planning being forced upon the majority by a minority consisting of affluent professionals with little to no knowledge of real 'urban' problems characteristic of post-Second World War urban environments: slums, overcrowding, deteriorated infrastructure, pollution and disease, among others (Irving 1993).
