Inkjet printer 
 Inkjet printers are preferred for printing photos and graphics due to their high-quality color output, whereas laser printers are preferred for printing text due to their high contrast and speed.
Inkjet printer 
 Three colors of cartridges, which combine magenta, yellow and cyan inks are used to create color tones.
Inkjet printer 
 Some professional printers have one or more additional colors for better photo quality, such as light cyan, light magenta, blue, red, green, orange, and grey.
Inkjet printer 
 Pigment inks are less likely to fade, whereas dye inks create more-realistic photos and are less likely to clog the printhead.
Inkjet printer 
 These printers usually do not use cartridges, but have a continuous supply of ink that could last for a long time.
Inkjet printer 
 Less expensive inkjet printers, which cost a little more than 100 US dollars, are a bargain for users who want to be able to print pages in color.
Inkjet printer 
 Some professional inkjet printers can print on surfaces other than paper, such as CDs/DVDs or plastic cards.
Inkjet printer 
 Some newer printers can print at higher resolutions, although the benefit of resolutions beyond 720 DPI may not be noticed by the human eye.
Inkjet printer 
 A common problem with inkjet printers is that if the printhead is clogged, banding (stripes) will appear in the printed image.
Inkjet printer 
 To prevent this from happening on rarely-used printers, a cron job can be scheduled to print a purge sheet (an image containing all colors used by the printer) once per day.
Inkjet printer 
 A small, barely noticeable (usually only noticeable by magnification) amount of banding will occur even with a perfectly clean printhead due to the way the printer works.
Laser printer 
 Printing on photo paper or coated paper designed for inkjet printers can damage the laser printer's drum and fuser unit.
Laser printer 
 Raster Image Processing: the processor inside the printer converts the data to be printed from its current file format, into a bitmap of the page to be printed - this is then stored in raster image memory.
Laser printer 
 Charging: An electrostatic charge is then projected onto a revolving photosensitive drum inside the printer.
Laser printer 
 Writing: A laser beam is directed at a rotating polygonal mirror, which redirects the beam onto the photosensitive drum.
Laser printer 
 The rasterized data in memory is now read, and used to control whether the laser is on or off, as the beam sweeps across the drum - where the laser beam strikes the drum the charge is reversed, creating a latent electrical image on the surface.
Laser printer 
 Developing: The surface of the drum is then exposed to negatively charged particles of toner, which are attracted to the areas where the laser wrote the latent electrical image.
Laser printer 
 The toner will be repelled by the negative charge on areas of the drum where the laser beam did not strike, and hence remove the charge.
Laser printer 
 Transferring: The drum is now rolled over paper, transferring the image from the drum to the paper (to aid in this process there is a positively charged roller behind the paper, which pulls the toner off the drum and onto the paper).
Laser printer 
 Fusing: The paper is then passed through a fuser, where rollers provide heat and pressure to bond the toner to the paper.
Laser printer 
 Cleaning: An electrically uncharged blade and a discharge lamp remove any toner and all the charge remaining on the drum (this will all happen in one revolution of the drum).

Thorium 
 Many scientists believe thorium would make a good source of nuclear fuel because it makes much less waste and is four times as common as uranium, and does not undergo the wasteful process of enrichment.
Thorium 
 It makes 3,200,000 times as much energy as coal and 200 times as much energy as uranium, because natural uranium is mostly non-fissile isotopes.
Thorium 
 Also, nuclear waste from thorium reactors contains far smaller amounts of dangerous transuranic elements than waste from uranium reactors.
River source 
 The source is the farthest point of the river stream from its estuary or its confluence with another river or stream.
River source 
 There is sometimes disagreement on which source is the head water, hence on which is the true source.
River source 
 For example, Lake Victoria is often called the source of the Nile, as the rivers that flow into it have names of their own.
Laserdisc 
 Most Laserdiscs can hold about 30 minutes to an hour of video per side for a total of 1 to 2 hours per disc.
Laserdisc 
 The early Laserdisc players used a Helium-Neon laser to read the disc, but the later models used infrared lasers.
Laserdisc 
 The first units that were made with the infrared laser had some problems such as skipping, strange colors spots, and fuzziness.
Laserdisc 
 In Japan, one of the last models to be produced even had the ability to play DVDs as well as CDs and Laserdiscs.

Torgau 
 In fact the area surrounding Torgau at first occupied by U.S. forces was later, in July 1945, given over to Soviet forces.
Chemical bond 
 In general, strong chemical bonding comes with the sharing or transfer of electrons between the participating atoms.
Chemical bond 
 Because atoms and molecules are three-dimensional, it is difficult to use a single method to indicate orbitals and bonds.
Chemical bond 
 In molecular formulas the chemical bonds between atoms are indicated in different ways depending on the type of discussion.
Chemical bond 
 A common way chemists describe chemical bonds is through the number of electrons each atom has on itself.
Physical property 
 A physical property can always be measured without changing or making the object chemically different or different in a way that would effect its chemical or atomic structure.

Kenpo 
 Kenpo or kempo is the descriptive name of various Japanese martial arts with Chinese origins, and also of hybrid martial arts: the Japanese ones and the Chinese ones.
Kenpo 
 Kenpo is similar to karate and includes more punches and kicks than holds or joint locks of wrestling.
Kenpo 
 However, unlike Karate, its origins are linked back to China and still have very strong influences from Chinese systems.
Kenpo 
 It is not uncommon for a Kempo artist to both use traditional Japanese and Chinese style techniques.
Kenpo 
 The difference lies in that because of the Chinese influence, the Japanese moves tend to emphasize more fluidity than most of the other Japanese styles.
Kenpo 
 And because of the Japanese influence, there is a stronger focus for shorter stances and movements than other Chinese styles.
Kenpo 
 For the same reason that many other styles are sometimes simply listed as "karate", Kempo has long been strongly linked under the general banner of "karate".
Kenpo 
 Kempo is known for its near explosive, short-ranged attacks that often move faster than the opponent can see.
Kenpo 
 Kempo has a very strong presence in Hawaii, the home base for many of the systems under Kempo that exist today in the United States.
Kenpo 
 Throughout each of the histories of the different groups there are strong signs of the continued merging of both Chinese and Japanese influences.
Tyr

Freyja 
 Freyja (Old Norse: “[the] Lady”) is the goddess of love, beauty, sex, fertility, seiðr, war, and death in Norse mythology.

Freyja 
 Her name is often translated into English as Freya when used nowadays, but the original Norwegian name is spelt Freyja.
Freyja 
 The Valkyries, having chosen who is to live and die in battle, collect the souls of those slain and bring them to Valhalla, where they will feast and make revelry with Odin; Freyja herself shares half of these heroes with Odin.
Freyja 
 She loves her husband deeply, but he often went away on long journeys, and Freyja cried red golden tears for him.
Freyja 
 Her tears become gold and amber when they fall to Earth, therefore gold was called "Freyja's tears".
