City 
 London has been changing continually for hundreds of years, while Sienna, a significant city in the 1300s, has changed very little in 700 years.
City 
 Modern cities with modern transport systems can grow very large, because the streets are wide enough for cars, buses, and trucks, and there are often railway lines.

Crime 
 A crime (or misdemeanor or felony) is an act done by a person which is against the laws of a country or region.
Crime 
 The basic idea of what things are called "crimes" is that they are thought to be things that might cause a problem for another person.

 Things like killing another person, injuring another person, or stealing from another person are crimes in most countries.
Crime 
 When some criminals make money from crime, they try to stop the police finding out where the money came from by money laundering.
Crime 
 The Ancient Greek word κρίμα, krima, from which the Latin cognate derives, typically referred to an intellectual mistake or an offense against the community, rather than a private or moral wrong.
Crime 
 It was probably brought to England as Old French crimne (12th century form of Modern French crime), from Latin crimen (in the genitive case: criminis).
Crime 
 In Latin, crimen could have signified any one of the following: "charge, indictment, accusation; crime, fault, offense".
Crime 
 Whether a given act or omission constitutes a crime does not depend on the nature of that act or omission; it depends on the nature of the legal consequences that may follow it.
Crime 
 An act or omission is a crime if it is capable of being followed by what are called criminal proceedings.
Crime 
 For the purpose of section 243 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992, a crime means an offence punishable on indictment, or an offence punishable on summary conviction, and for the commission of which the offender is liable under the statute making the offence punishable to be imprisoned either absolutely or at the discretion of the court as an alternative for some other punishment.

Calculus 
 Differential calculus divides (differentiates) things into small (different) pieces, and tells us how they change from one moment to the next, while integral calculus joins (integrates) the small pieces together, and tells us how much of something is made, overall, by a series of changes.
Calculus 
 Calculus is used in many different sciences such as physics, astronomy, biology, engineering, economics, medicine and sociology.
Calculus 
 In the 1670s and 1680s, Sir Isaac Newton in England and Gottfried Leibniz in Germany figured out calculus at the same time, working separately from each other.
Calculus 
 Newton wanted to have a new way to predict where to see planets in the sky, because astronomy had always been a popular and useful form of science, and knowing more about the motions of the objects in the night sky was important for navigation of ships.
Calculus 
 They were not the first people to use mathematics to describe the physical world — Aristotle and Pythagoras came earlier, and so did Galileo Galilei, who said that mathematics was the language of science.
Calculus 
 But both Newton and Leibniz were the first to design a system that describes how things change over time, and can predict how they will change in the future.
Calculus 
 The name "calculus" was the Latin word for a small stone the ancient Romans used in counting and gambling.
Calculus 
 Differential calculus is used to find the rate of change of a variable—compared to another variable.
Calculus 
 One often writes variables as letters such as the letter x: "x" can be equal to 1 at one point and 200 at another.
Calculus 
 So if a town is 80 kilometres (50 miles) away and a person in a car gets there in one hour, they have traveled at an average speed of 80 kilometres (50 miles) per hour.
Calculus 
 But this is only an average: maybe they travelled faster at some times (say on a highway), and slower at other times (say at a traffic light or on a small street where people live).
Calculus 
 Certainly it is more difficult for a driver to figure out a car's speed using only its odometer (distance meter) and clock—without a speedometer.
Calculus 
 Until calculus was invented, the only way to work this out was to cut the time into smaller and smaller pieces, so the average speed over the smaller time would get closer and closer to the actual speed at a point in time.
Calculus 
 This was a very long and hard process, and had to be done each time people wanted to work something out.
Calculus 
 The slope of a straight line is easy to work out — it is simply how much it goes up or down (y or vertical) divided by how much it goes across (x or horizontal).
Calculus 
 On a curve, however, the slope is a variable (has different values at different points) because the line bends.
Calculus 
 But if the curve was to be cut into very, very small pieces, the curve at the point would look almost like a very short straight line.
Calculus 
 So to work out its slope, a straight line can be drawn through the point with the same slope as the curve at that point.
Calculus 
 If this is done exactly right, the straight line will have the same slope as the curve, and is called a tangent.
Calculus 
 But there is no way to know (without complex mathematics) whether the tangent is exactly right, and our eyes are not accurate enough to be certain whether it is exact or simply very close.
Calculus 
 What Newton and Leibniz found was a way to work out the slope (or the speed in the distance example) exactly, using simple and logical rules.
Calculus 
 They then chose points on either side of the range they were interested in and worked out tangents at each.
Calculus 
 As the points moved closer together towards the point they were interested in, the slope approached a particular value as the tangents approached the real slope of the curve.
Calculus 
 This tells us that how high y is on the vertical axis depends on what x (the horizontal axis) is at that time.
Calculus 
 For example, with the equation , we know that if  is 1, then  will be 1; if  is 3, then  will be 9; if  is 20, then  will be 400.
Calculus 
 So we know without having to draw any tangent line at any point on the curve  that the derivative, often written as  (marked with the prime symbol), will be  at any point.
Calculus 
 This process of working out a slope using limits is called differentiation, or finding the derivative.
Calculus 
 Leibniz's notation is used by more books, because it is easy to understand when the equations become more complicated.
Calculus 
 Mathematicians have grown this basic theory to make simple algebra rules—which can be used to find the derivative of almost any function.
Calculus 
 In the real world, calculus can be used to find the speed of a moving object, or to understand how electricity and magnetism work.
Calculus 
 An example is calculating the distance a car travels: if one knows the speed of the car at different points in time and draw a graph of this speed, then the distance the car travels will be the area under the graph.
Calculus 
 The way to do this is to divide the graph into many very small pieces, and then draw very thin rectangles under each piece.
Calculus 
 As the rectangles become thinner and thinner, the rectangles cover the area underneath the graph better and better.
Calculus 
 The area of a rectangle is easy to calculate, so we can calculate the total area of all the rectangles.
Calculus 
 This main idea says that the two calculus processes, differentiation and integration, are inverses of each other.
Calculus 
 In a single sentence, the fundamental theorem runs something like this: "The derivative of the integral of a function f is the function itself".
Calculus 
 This is useful for architecture (building houses), so that the house can be as cheap to heat as possible.
Calculus 
 Also, the path of the earth as it moves around the sun, and any planet or moon moving around anything in space.
Coin 
 These coins were made of precious metals and allowed people to trade with a standard amount of metal.
Coin 
 Many coins have unique or complicated decorations; one side often has the picture of a famous or important person's head on it.
Coin 
 Some people see coins as a sign of greed, such as some Communists and Puritans, who sometimes condemn over-hoarding of coins, and ascetics, who often keep little in the ways of money (coins), leading a "poor"-lifestyle.
Coin 
 They can be much cheaper than other old things, especially if they are made of cheap metals like copper.
Coin 
 Older coins normally cost more than newer ones, but rarity matters more-some coins from the 1920s cost vast sums, while some Roman coins cost very little.
Conceptual metaphor 
 A conceptual metaphor or cognitive metaphor is a metaphor which refers to one domain (group of ideas) in terms of another.
Conceptual metaphor 
 Time talked about as if it were a path through space, or a quantity that can be saved or spent or wasted.
Conceptual metaphor 
 The idea of a conceptual metaphor came from a book by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson in 1980: Metaphors we live by.
Conceptual metaphor 
 "The most recent linguistic approach to literature is that of cognitive metaphor, which claims that metaphor is not a mode of language, but a mode of thought".
Conceptual metaphor 
 A convention is to write conceptual metaphors in small capital letters, e.g. , with the target domain (idea being referred to) first, here "money," and the source domain (terms used to refer to it) second.
Conceptual metaphor 
 An official close to the president or monarch who has so much power behind the scenes that he or she may double or serve as the monarch.
Conceptual metaphor 
 star chamber: a secretive council or other group within a government that possesses the actual power, regardless of the government's overt form.
Conceptual metaphor

Conceptual metaphor 
 riding coattails: victories by local or state politicians because of the popularity of more powerful politicians.
Conceptual metaphor 
 astroturfing: public relations campaigns in politics and advertising that try to create the impression of being spontaneous, grassroots behavior.
Conceptual metaphor 
 straw man: the practice of refuting an argument that is weaker than one's opponent actually offers, or which he simply has not put forth at all.
Conceptual metaphor 
 bread and circuses: satisfaction of shallow or immediate desires of the populace at the expense of good policy; also, the erosion of civic duty and the public life in a populace.
Comedy 
 Aristotle defined this as “Comedy is, as an imitation of characters of a lower type- not, however, in the full sense of the word bad, the ludicrous being merely a subdivision of the ugly.
Comedy 
 To him, the lampooners became writers of Comedy and the truly artistic ones became writers of Tragedy.
Comedy 
 This was mock drunkenness, brazen sexuality (including phallic props), pranks, sight gags, and general merriment.
Comedy 
 Humour, or 'New Comedy' is not about criticizing people or ideas, but rather about showing characters in funny situations.
Comedy 
 Shakespeare's comedy plays include: All’s Well That Ends Well, The Comedy of Errors, A Midsummer Nights Dream, and Twelfth Night.
Comedy 
 In Shakespeare's day a comedy did not mean a play that would make people laugh or that had a lot of jokes.
Comedy 
 This was unlike a tragedy, where the problems do not work out, usually resulting in someone's death.
Comedy 
 The two masks, one was smiling, the other crying, often associated with theatre represent comedy and tragedy.
Comedy 
 In "slap stick comedy," people do silly things such as tripping, falling over or embarrassing themselves just to make people laugh.
Comedy 
 In the 1950s and 1960s, comedian Jerry Lewis also used silly slap stick comedy in his comedy movies.

Comet 
 The orbital inclinations of comets are usually high and not near the ecliptic where most solar system objects are found.
Comet 
 That is very far away from the Sun, but some of them also come near enough to Earth for us to see at night.
Comet 
 A comet's tail  does not trail behind it, but points directly away from the Sun, because it is blown by the solar wind.
Comet 
 When light shone on the nucleus of Halley's Comet, the comet reflected only 4% of the light back to us.
Comet 
 During the Renaissance, astronomers started to look at comets with less superstition and to base their science on observations.
Comet 
 Tycho Brahe reasoned that comets did not come from the earth, and his measurements and calculations showed that comets must be six times farther than the earth is from the moon.
Comet 
 Edmond Halley reasoned that some comets are periodic, that is, they appear again after a certain number of years, and again and again.
Comet 
 He asked his friend Edmond Halley to publish this in his book Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica.
Comet 
 Before Newton said this, people believed that comets go in to the sun, then another comes out from behind the sun.
Comet 
 All this new information and research gave people confidence, but some still thought that comets were messengers from the gods.
Comet 
 One 18th century vision said that comets were the places that hell was, where souls would ride, being burned up by the heat of the sun and frozen by the cold of space.
Cytology 
 Cells are the small parts that make up all living things, and their effects on each other and their environment.

 Cytopathology is a medical discipline that deals with techniques for looking at cells under a microscope.
Christian 
 Christianity is mostly about the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, in the New Testament and interpreted of prophesied in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament.
Christian 
 The Holy Bible is a combination of the Hebrew Bible, or Torah, and a collection of writings called the New Testament.
Christian 
 Some Christian groups prefer to favor the New Testament, while others believe the entire Bible is equally important.
Christian 
 Also, while many Christians prefer to consider the Bible as fully true, not all Christian groups believe that it is completely accurate.
Christian 
 In countries where most persons were baptized in the state church or the majority Christian church, the term "Christian" is a default label for citizenship or for "people like us".
Christian 
 In this context, religious or ethnic minorities can use "Christians" or "you Christians" as a term for majority members of society who do not belong to their group - even in a very secular (though formerly Christian) society.
