Macroscopic

**Macroscopic** means physical objects that are measurable and can be seen by the naked eye.

When one uses macroscopic for abstract objects, one thinks of the world as we see it without any help. Lengths scales are called macroscopic if they fall in the range of more or less than 1 mm or up to 1 km.

One may use the term *macroscopic* also for a "larger view", namely a view only available from a large perspective. A macroscopic position could be considered the "big picture".

## Examples 
* A macroscopic view of a ball is just that: a ball. A microscopic view could reveal a thick round skin seemingly composed entirely of cracks and fissures (as viewed through a microscope) or, further down in scale, a collection of molecules in the rough shape of a sphere.

## Macroscopy in physics 
In physics macroscopy is a relative term. If one looks at a galaxy, a star is microscopic in comparison with the whole galaxy, even if it is many, many orders of magnitude larger than us. macroscopy can also be described as a relation between any two objects in terms of its magnification on a scale of some sort. A macroscopic object is something that we are able to see in plain sight through our own field of vision no matter where we are located. In spacetime light must also come into contact with our eyes and the object we are observing in order for it to be visible.

Inorganic compound

An **inorganic compound** is a chemical compound that does not have carbon–hydrogen bonds that is, it is *not* an organic compound. That means it is not a carbon-based compound.

## Types of inorganic compounds 
The division between the two types of compound is not absolute. Some carbon-containing compounds are traditionally considered inorganic. Many chemicals in nature are not compounds, but are ions. Sodium, chloride, and phosphate ions are essential for life, as are some inorganic molecules such as nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water and oxygen. Aside from these simple ions and molecules, virtually all compounds covered by biochemistry contain carbon and can be considered organic or organometallic.

Major types of inorganic compounds may  include:
* Minerals, such as salt, asbestos, silicates, ...
* Alloys, like brass, bronze, ...
* Most compounds involving non-metallic elements, like silicon, phosphorus, chlorine, oxygen, for example water

Order of magnitude

An **order of magnitude** is an approximation of the logarithm of a value relative to some contextually understood reference value, usually ten, interpreted as the base of the logarithm and the representative of values of magnitude one. Logarithmic distributions are common in nature and
considering the order of magnitude of values sampled from such a distribution can be more intuitive. When the reference value is ten, the order of magnitude can be understood as the number of digits in the base-10 representation of the value. Similarly, if the reference value is one of certain powers of two, the magnitude can be understood as the amount of computer memory needed to store the exact integer value.

If two numbers have the same **order of magnitude**, they are about the same size. 

But if one would compare the surface of an orange with that of the earth, one would say the surface of the earth is many *orders of magnitude* larger than that of the orange.

Orders of magnitude are used to make approximate comparisons.  If numbers differ by one order of magnitude, *x* is *about* ten times different in quantity than *y*.  If values differ by two orders of magnitude, they differ by a factor of about 100. Two numbers of the same order of magnitude have roughly the same scale: the larger value is less than ten times the smaller value.

Pantheism

**Pantheism** is the belief that God and the universe are  (the same thing). A pantheist believes that everything that exists is a part of God, or that God is a part of everything that exists. The name pantheism comes from the Greek words *theos* (belief in God) and *pan* (all).

Many pantheists have a personal relationship with the universe and the natural world. Making these relationships better is a key idea for these pantheists. Some pantheists believe the universe is sacred, and that the earth and nature must be protected. Most of the early Greek philosophers from Thales on to the Stoics believed in some sort of pantheism. Pantheism is an important part of many Eastern religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism, and modern religions such as Druidism. Some Western philosophers such as Baruch Spinoza are pantheists, as are some scientists.
### Abrahamic religions
Some Christians, Jews and Sufis say they are pantheists. However, their majority believes that while God is in everything, there is more to God than just the universe. There are several different types of pantheism, including panpsychism (the belief the universe itself has a mind), naturalistic pantheism (the belief the universe is identifiable with the title of "God", as it can be seen as a wondrous and transcendent power), and scientific pantheism (the worship of nature as a life-giving force).

Panentheism

**Panentheism** (lit. 'all in God')**,** similar to pantheism, is the belief that the creation is part of the God. It is different to Pantheism in that God is also believed to be greater than the creation.  The term is believed to be created by Karl Krause in 1828 (after studying Hindu scripture) to distinguish the ideas of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831) and Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling (1775–1854) about the relation of God and the universe from the supposed pantheism of Baruch Spinoza.

Many people may find this belief to be confusing, this may explain why Panentheism itself is an ancient esoteric (secretive) belief. Panentheism is believed to be found in all major religious traditions including but not exclusive to Hinduism, the Jewish Kabbalah, Christian Mysticism, Sufism and Sikhism. This belief being found in completely different world traditions has inspired the Traditional Perennial Philosophy.

Deuterium

**Deuterium** is an isotope of hydrogen, the first element. Deuterium has one proton and one neutron. Hydrogen does not have a neutron, only a proton. Another isotope of hydrogen, tritium, has two neutrons. The chemical symbol for Deuterium is **2H** but **D** is also used often. 

Two deuterium atoms combined with an oxygen atom is sometimes called "heavy water." This is because it is like water (H2O), but heavier because deuterium has one more neutron in its nucleus. Heavy water is sometimes used in nuclear reactors. It is also used as a solvent for NMR spectroscopy. This is because it will dissolve the sample, like normal water, but it will not be detected by the magnet in an 1H NMR.

Boer

**Boer** (IPA: /bur/) is the Dutch and Afrikaans word for farmer which is used to call the Afrikaner descendants of the Dutch farmers of Southern Africa during the 1600s and 1700s, as well as those who left the Cape Colony during the Great Trek of the early and mid-1800s to live in the Orange Free State, Transvaal and Natal. They did this to escape British rule, and wars between the British imperial government and native tribes on the eastern frontier. 

In 1657, “vrybriewe” was granted to 9 burghers (citizens), the first farmers or Boers (Boere) at the Cape.  Although they were not known as Afrikaners, they did not regard themselves as living in a European country.  As more immigrants from Europe arrived at the Cape, more international marriages took place.  Soon their language and culture were lost and transformed.  They regarded themselves as a new nation, the Afrikaner people. Paul Heyns, born in 1696 christened his son Michiel Afrikanus (the Afrikaner). 

One Hendrik Bieslow in 1707 proclaimed in public “Ik ben een Afrikaander”. The Boers later created the Boer Republics, which were defeated in the 1880-1881 and 1899–1902 Anglo-Boer wars (Anglo-Boere-oorloë). After that, many Boers emigrated to other countries, but many still live in modern South Africa, Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) and Zimbabwe.

Compressive stress

**Compressive stress** is the stress on materials that leads to a smaller volume. 

By compressive stress the material is under compression. Compressive stress to , columns, etc. leads to shortening.

One can increase the compressive stress until compressive strength is reached.  Then materials will react with  behaviour (most metals, some soils and plastics) or with fracture in case of brittle materials (geomaterials, cast iron, glass, etc.). For example, if a cylinder is compressed under the action of the applied force, the restoring force per unit area is known as the compressive stress. It is one of the best stresses for chassis, so if you have a chassis report explain it well as it helps a lot.

Rotation

**Rotation** is the movement of an object in a circular motion.

A two-dimensional object rotates around a  *center* (or *point*) *of rotation*. A three-dimensional object rotates around a line called an *axis*. If the axis of rotation is within the body, the body is said to rotate upon itself, or *spin*– which implies relative speed and perhaps free-movement with angular momentum. A circular motion around an external point (for example the Earth around the Sun) is called an *orbit* or more properly *orbital revolution.* As an extension, 4d rotations are around planes. Every rotation can also be described as in a plane and around a point.

## Types of rotation
Rotation around a point in one plane can be in a clockwise direction or an anticlockwise direction.

### Aviation
In flight dynamics, the principal rotations are known as *yaw* (left/right), *pitch* (up/down), and *roll* (rolling). The term rotation is also used in aviation to refer to the upward pitch of an aircraft, particularly when starting the major climb for takeoff. The same terms are used for fish moving through water.

### Amusement rides
Many amusement rides provide rotation. A Ferris wheel and observation wheel have a horizontal central axis, and parallel axes for each gondola, where the rotation is opposite, by gravity or mechanically.

### Sports
Rotation, usually called *spin*, plays a role in many sports. *Topspin* and *backspin* in tennis. *English*, *follow* and *draw* in billiards and pool. Curve balls in baseball and spin bowling in cricket.  Table tennis paddles are specialized to allow players to spin the ball as they hit it.

Muhammad Ali

*Not to be mistaken for the Muhammad Ali who became Muhammad Ali Pasha, Wali of Egypt and Sudan*

**Muhammad Ali** (born **Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr.**; January 17, 1942 &ndash; June 3, 2016) was an American boxer. He became one of the most famous boxers in the world with his "rope-a-dope" technique.  He was also well known for his clever rhymes.  In 1999, Ali was named "Sportsman of the Century" by Sports Illustrated magazine.  He won the World Heavyweight Boxing Championship three times.  Ali also won an Olympic gold medal for boxing during the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome, Italy.  Ali was also known as “The Greatest”. 

Ali was born in Louisville, Kentucky. He was named after his father, Cassius Marcellus Clay Sr. but changed his name after converting to Islam according to the Nation of Islam in 1965. Because of his Islamic beliefs, Ali would not fight in the Vietnam War when the army tried drafting him. This made him an international figure around the world. Ali retired from boxing in 1981. In the early 1980s, it was learned that Ali had Parkinson's syndrome. He became well known for his social work and charity.

Muhammad Ali was married four times. He had seven daughters and two sons. One of his sons was adopted by him. 

On April 5, 2024, Ali was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame by The Undertaker.

## Health and Death 
On December 20, 2014, Ali was hospitalized for a mild case of pneumonia. Ali was once again hospitalized on January 15, 2015, for a urinary tract infection after being found unresponsive at a guest house in Scottsdale, Arizona. He was released the next day.

Ali was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. On June 3, 2016, Ali died from septic shock due to respiratory problems at a Scottsdale, Arizona hospital, aged 74.

 His last words as recorded by his family physician Dr. Maxime Pompous were *"God made me the greatest boxer and cultivated goodness in me. I thank Him for his grace. I will go to Paradise and would love to defeat all the angels there. Goodbye my daughter and my doctor. See you soon."*

Tensile strength

**Tensile strength** is a measurement of the force required to pull something such as rope, wire, or a structural beam to the point where it breaks. 

The tensile strength of a material is the maximum amount of tensile stress that it can take before failure, for example breaking.

There are three typical definitions of tensile strength:

* Yield strength - The stress a material can withstand without permanent deformation. This is not a sharply defined point. Yield strength is the stress which will cause a permanent deformation of 0.2% of the original dimension.

* Ultimate strength - The maximum stress a material can withstand.

* Breaking strength - The stress coordinate on the stress-strain curve at the point of rupture.

## Typical tensile strengths
Some typical tensile strengths of some materials:

*Note: Multiwalled carbon nanotubes have the highest tensile strength of any material yet measured, with labs producing them at a tensile strength of 63 GPa, still well below their theoretical limit of 300 GPa.  However, as of 2004, no macroscopic object constructed of carbon nanotubes has had a tensile strength remotely approaching this figure, or substantially exceeding that of high-strength materials like Kevlar.

*Note: many of the values depend on manufacturing process and purity/composition.

Stainless steel

is a part of St. Louis, Missouri's skyline.]]

**Stainless steel**, also known as **inox steel**, is a steel alloy with a minimum of 10.5 or 11% chromium content by mass.  

Stainless steel does not stain, corrode, or rust as easily as ordinary steel, but it is not stain-proof.

The term 'corrosion resistant steel' is used when the alloy has less than the 12% minimum of chromium, for example in the aviation industry. There are different grades and surface finishes of stainless steel, depending on where it will be used. Stainless steels have a higher resistance to oxidation (rust) and corrosion in many natural and man-made environments, Different stainless steels have different amounts of different metals in them, and they are good for different purposes. There are over 150 grades of stainless steel, of which fifteen are the most used. 

The idea behind stainless steel was discovered in the first part of the 19th century, but it took about 80 years to develop a reliable industrial method. French, British and American inventors worked on this until a genuine stainless steel was produced. The invention of modern stainless steel can be dated to 1913, and it was done by Harry Brearley in Sheffield, Yorkshire.  A common use for stainless steel is cutlery (knives, forks, and spoons).  It was a big industry in the mid-20th century in Sheffield. Stainless steel is also used in aerospace engineering.

Anna Anderson

**Anna Anderson** (December 16, 1896 – February 12, 1984) was a woman who claimed she was Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia. The real Anastasia had been murdered in Ekaterinburg with the rest of her immediate family on July 17, 1918. Her remains have been found and extensively tested using DNA samples from Anastasia's family comparing them to Anderson. There was no match at all. Anderson attempted to kill herself in 1920 in Berlin, Germany. She was taken to a mental hospital. A short time later she began to tell her false story of escape to people there. Some people believed her. Most people did not. Her false claims were pushed for 70 years. Movies were made about her story. She married Jack Manahan and called herself Anastasia Manahan. They lived in Charlottesville, Virginia, where she died of pneumonia in 1984.

Rally-X

***Rally-X*** is a arcade video game released by Namco in 1980. The player moves a car around a maze. The player tries to collect 10 "flags".

Players can lose a life by:
*Running in to a red car
*Running in to rocks
*Running out of fuel

## Flags 
In *Rally-X*, there are two types of flags: regular flags and special flags. Special flags double the players points after collecting it. It will only work if the player does not lose a life. In *New Rally-X*, there is another flag called a lucky flag. It fills up the car's fuel tank if it is empty. There is only one special flag or lucky flag.
Physical compression

**Physical compression** means that a material under compressive stress reduces its volume.

There are different uses of compression in physics and engineering. By compression it is possible to measure mechanical properties of materials such as compressive strength or modulus of elasticity. Scientists do this with press machines.

When gases are compressed, their volume becomes smaller as seen in the Ideal gas law. This compression is used in gas engines, for example in the Diesel engine as in any internal combustion engine and in the steam engine.

Compressive strength

**Compressive strength** measures the pushing force that one needs to break a material. 

When the limit of compressive strength is reached, materials are crushed. Concrete can be made to have high compressive strength e.g. many concrete floors have compressive strength of 3000 p.s.i..

Strength of materials

The **strength of materials** is the ability of materials to resist force. That ability is an important topic in mechanical engineering. It describes the mechanical behaviors of materials in response to forces that act on objects (such as stress, deformation, strain and stress-strain relations). Usually, the strength of a material is described with units of pressure, because then the value can be applied to many different shapes. For example, a wire and a rod made out of the same steel may have the same tensile strength but the thicker rod will require more force to break.

Strength is considered in terms of compressive strength, tensile strength, and shear strength, but other properties are often considered, like impact strength and fracture toughness. The strength of materials will also change depending on the environment, such as when it is hot or cold, or humid or dry. Sometimes, the environment, or use over time will change the strength of materials over many hours, days, months, or even years. For example, some metals and metal alloys can become stronger or weaker after being used for many years, especially at high temperatures. This is because their microstructure, or structure on a very small scale, will change. In almost all materials, the microstructure is what is studied to understand and guess what the strength of a material will be.  It is also what scientists and engineers can modify to change a material (especially a metal). For plastics, many conditions can affect them by causing chemical changes. For example, water will make many plastics softer and weaker, and UV radiation from the Sun can damage many plastics and make them brittle and weak, including Kevlar.

Funeral Blues

"**Funeral Blues**" is a poem written in 1936 by W. H. Auden.

*Funeral Blues* is a simple poem about death, isolation (loneliness), emptiness and longing. The death of a lover may or may not be a literal event (actually happened). The poem is also about the end of a romantic relationship with somebody other than the person's spouse/partner. In four stanzas it moves from the time before the funeral (Stop all the clocks, Silence the pianos...), during the funeral itself (Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come...), after the funeral (He was my North, my South...), and the loneliness and grief that comes with it.
Parsley

**Parsley** is a fresh flavored bright green herb. It used on food as a garnish and as a seasoning in soups, sauces and salads. Some people eat parsley to get their breath to smell better. Parsley can be easily grown in gardens, as well as inside the home, wherever there is plenty of indirect sunlight. Parsley needs good, light soil, good drainage and frequent watering to thrive indoors. To harvest parsley, cut the most mature stalks near the base that are still bright green. New shoots will grow for some time from the base of an established plant. Parsley is extraordinarily rich in vitamins C and A, minerals (especially potassium),beta-carotene, folate and dietary fiber. 

The following chart provides information on the nutritional values and caloric composition of parsley: 
Water content (grams per 100g) 87.71

Weed

(*Viola labradorica*), which can be a common weed.]]
A **weed** is a plant that people think is an impurity, because it is growing invading the plant's space. Only smaller plants are often called weeds.

A person may grow plants because it has  flowers, but other people may think that this plant is a weed for some reason. This may be for one of these reasons:
*It has pollen that makes them sneeze
*It spreads seeds that will grow quickly
*The roots go too far under the ground and can cause damage to houses or pipes
*The roots spread quickly
*The plant has poisonous berries
*The plant has liquid (sap) in it that can hurt a person's skin

If someone is farming a plant and it then moves outside the farm, the plant may then be called a weed.

Some plants are very hard to stop once they start growing. These are called invasive weeds. 

Weed can also be a name for any wild plant, one that people do not use for anything and invading their space.

## Commons weeds 
Common weeds include:

* Dandelion
* Cirsium arvense
* Ground ivy
* Quackgrass

Ternopil

**Ternopil** () is a city in western Ukraine. It is also the administrative centre of the Ternopil region. The city has about 220,000 inhabitants (2025) and lies on the Siret River.

## History
The city was part of the Austrian Habsburg Empire from 1772 until 1918, and it belonged to Poland before 1772. When the Austrain empire fell in 1918, Turnopil beccame part of the short-lived ZUNR (Western Ukrainian National Republic). After heavy battles between Polish troops and Ukrainian Galician Army troops, the city was occupied by Poland in 1920. However, it was only part of Poland for less than 20 years, and in September 1939, it was taken by Soviet troops and annexed to the USSR. Ternopil became part of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, it became a part of Independent Ukraine.

Cremation

]]
**Cremation** is the act of burning a body after it has died. Cremation is a popular option to dispose of (get rid of) a body instead of burying it. The place where cremations take place is called a **crematorium** or **crematory**.

Religions which approve cremation include Christianity, Jehovah's Witnesses, Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism, Shinto, and Neopaganism. Traditional Judaism and Mormonism strongly discourage cremation, although the first reference to cremation in the Hebrew Bible is found in 1 Samuel 31, where it states that the dead bodies of Saul and his sons are burned, and their bones are buried. Neo-Confucianism and Zoroastrianism disapprove it. Many Muslims believe cremation is forbidden. However, some Muslims, such as Quranists, believe cremation is permissible in Islam as there is no prohibition in the Qur'an against cremation, and that burial is not the only Islamic method that is approved by God.

A natural gas cremation releases around 126kg of carbon dioxide.

## Ways of keeping or disposing of the cremated remains
Cremated remains (also called *ashes*) are returned to the person's family. The family then has a few options of what to do with the remains. Usually the ashes are buried in an urn at a cemetery plot just as a coffin is buried in normal earth burial. Many religions require the ashes to be handled in dignified manner. In Scandinavia it is customary to bury the ashes ín an urn in a family grave (a grave which contains the remains of many family members). Family graves are also popular in Japan and Thailand.

Sometimes the cremated person has thought about what they want to be done with their remains and have shared their desires with their family. Cremated remains can be kept in a container called an urn, which in turn can be buried on cemetery plot or placed in a depot called *columbarium*, or thrown into the air or water of a place that was special to the cremated person, or buried anonymously in the ground. These are the most popular choices of what to do with remains. There are also other, less common, options of how to dispose of the remains. Some examples of ways to scatter the remains are: through fireworks, shot from guns, or dropped from an airplane or hot air balloon. Remains can even be sent into space or turned into a diamond. The latter can be done because humans and diamonds are both made largely from carbon.

## Queen Victoria, pioneer in cremation jewelry
Queen Victoria is the most well-known mourner because she went into a state of mourning for several decades. To honour her late Prince Albert, Queen Victoria "took to wearing black jet jewelry, from Whitby, in Yorkshire". As a limited and fairly difficult medium to work with, jet was expensive. It's a hard material, requiring skilled craftsmanship to avoid breakage during carving.

Booker T. Washington

**Booker Taliaferro Washington** (April 5, 1856, – November 14, 1915) was an American political leader, teacher and author. He was born into slavery, but was eventually freed. He was one of the most important people in African American history in the United States from 1890 to 1915.

Washington helped start the Tuskegee Institute, which was a university for African-American students, after attending the Hampton Institute.  Washington believed that in order to create a peaceful post-slavery society, black and white people needed to "cast down the bucket" and become friends with each other.  He saw violence and protests against discrimination of blacks as holding grudges between the races.  Washington also stated that freed blacks should not aim for Congress right away, they needed to start by being able to support themselves economically.

## Visit to president
Washington was invited to dinner by President Theodore Roosevelt. The President wanted to appoint Washington to advise him on issues of race. This upset some American people. African Americans had visited the White House before but had never been asked to dine there. In reaction several newspapers published a racist poem called *Niggers in the White House*. The poem was published again when the wife of Representative Oscar DePriest had tea with wife of President Hoover.

Scipio won the battle of Zama in North Africa. The victory although factual in its final result, was Rome's success because of a bribery, by which a Carthage's ally - Masinissa who was the son of King Gala of the Massylii, a Numidian tribe to the west of Carthage , against Hannibal!  He got the last name *Africanus* and became known as one of the best commanders in military history. The battle was a complete disaster for Carthage, who had to beg for peace, and were given humiliating terms by Rome.

Blessing

A **blessing** is way to wish good luck for a person. Sometimes, in religious rituals, it is said the God blesses those who are good, or people can bless God with anointing. In Judaism, they bless God over wine. The priests can also bless religious objects in order to make them become holy.

The saying "bless you" is commonly used when someone sneezes. This is done because there is a tradition carried by the superstition that a person's soul will come out of their mouth and nose if they sneeze. People believed that saying "God bless you," or "bless you" for short, would make the soul go back inside. They are wishing the person good luck so that their soul is able to come back. 

People also think that if unusual good luck or a miracle comes to them, it is a blessing. For example, if some people wanted a child badly but are having difficulty conceiving, it could be considered a blessing from God if they end up having a child.

To *give your blessing* to someone is to give permission to them. For example, a man can ask his girlfriend's parents' for their blessing before he asks her to marry him.

Blessings are often thought of as the opposite of a curse.
