Chinese language 
 In Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places where they speak Chinese, people still use the more traditional characters.
Chinese language 
 However, people who have learned only the 400 most frequently used characters can read a newspaper—but they will have to guess some less-used words.
Chinese language 
 The pronunciation is given in the pinyin system, which may not always be as simple as it looks for those who have not studied it.
Chinese language 
 Chinese from Mainland China uses the Simplified Characters, but may recognize Traditional Characters.
Chinese language 
 The government of the People's Republic of China thought that the Traditional characters were very hard to understand.
Chinese language 
 They also thought that if they made the characters simpler more people could learn how to read and write.
Zero 
 Subtracting a positive number from zero always makes that number negative (or, if a negative number is subtracted from zero, it makes the number positive).
Zero 
 The following table includes all of the above examples along with other operations in a condensed, generalized form (where x represents any number).
Zero 
 The idea of zero was first thought about in Babylon, India and in Central America at different times.
Zero 
 Some places and countries did not know about zero, which may have made it harder for those people to do mathematics.
Zero 
 Over hundreds of years, the idea of zero was passed from country to country, from India and Babylon to other places, like Greece, Persia and the Arab world.
Zero 
 This means that it is not used like 1, 2, or 3 to indicate the order, or place, of something, like 1st, 2nd, or 3rd.
Zero 
 For example, when a person is counting down the time to the start of something, such as a foot race or when a rocket takes off, the count is: "three, two, one, zero (or go)".
Zero 
 In most (if not all) numerical systems, 0 was identified before the idea of 'negative integers' was accepted.
Zero 
 Zero is a number which means an amount of null size; that is, if the number of brothers is zero, that means the same thing as having no brothers, and if something has a weight of zero, it has no weight.
Zero 
 If the difference between the numbers of pieces in two piles is zero, it means the two piles have an equal number of pieces.
Zero 
 Before counting starts, the result can be assumed to be zero; that is the number of items counted before one counts the first item, and counting the first item brings the result to one.
Zero 
 While mathematicians all accept zero as a number, some non-mathematicians would say that zero is not a number, arguing that one cannot have zero of something.
Zero 
 Others say that if one has a bank balance of zero, one has a specific quantity of money in that account, namely none.
Zero 
 More specifically, almost all historians leave out the year zero from the proleptic Gregorian and Julian calendars (that is, from the normal calendar used in English-speaking countries), but astronomers include it in these same calendars.
Zero 
 However, the phrase Year Zero may be used to describe any event considered so important, that someone might want to start counting years all over again from zero.
Zero 
 0 is usually written with six line segments, though on some historical calculator models, it was written with four line segments.
Zero 
 The number zero (as in the "zero brothers" example above) is not the same as the numeral or digit zero, used in numeral systems using positional notation.
Zero 
 Successive positions of digits have higher values, so the digit zero is used to skip a position and give appropriate value to the preceding and following digits.
Zero 
 It is used to hold the place of that digit, because correct placing of digits affects a numeral's value.
Zero 
 For one thing, a computer will not do arithmetic with the letter O, because it does not know that it should have been a zero.
Zero 
 The zero with a dot in the centre seems to have begun as a choice on IBM 3270 controllers (this has the problem that it looks like the Greek letter theta).
Zero 
 The slashed zero, looking like the letter O with a diagonal line drawn inside it, is used in old-style ASCII graphic sets that came from the default typewheel on the well-known ASR-33 Teletype.
Zero 
 This format causes problems because it looks like the symbol , representing the empty set, as well as for certain Scandinavian languages which use Ø as a letter.
Zero 
 The rule which has the letter O with a slash and the zero without was used at IBM and a few other early mainframe makers; this is even more of a problem for Scandinavians, because it looks like two of their letters at the same time.
Zero 
 And yet another convention common on early line printers left zero without any extra dots or slashes but added a tail or hook to the letter O so that it resembled an inverted Q or cursive capital letter O.
Zero 
 This is done by making the zero rather egg-shaped and the O more circular, but most of all by cutting open the zero on the upper right side, so the circle is not closed any more (as in German plates).
Zero 
 But those used in the United Kingdom do not make the letter o and the number 0 look different from each other, because there can never be any mistake if the letters are correctly spaced.
Zero 
 If the function f(x) = 0, then x is called a zero (or root) of the function f. For example, if the function f(x) is x2 − 1, then the zeroes of the function are +1 and −1, because f(+1) = (+1)2 − 1 = 0, and f(−1) = (−1)2 − 1 = 0.
Zero 
 Zeroes of a function are used because they are another way to talk about solving an equation, which is a main goal in algebra.
Zero 
 If we want to solve an equation like x2 = 1, then we can subtract the right-hand side of the equation from both sides, in this case 1.
Zero 
 In the paragraph before, the zeroes of this function are +1 and −1, so they are the solutions of this equation.
Zero 
 We got this equation by subtracting the same thing from both sides, so we also have solutions to the equation we started with, in this case x2 = 1.

Zinc 
 It is about as reactive as aluminium and more reactive than most of the more common metals, such as iron, copper, nickel, and chrome.
Zinc 
 This means that it would rather react with sulfur and elements below it on the periodic table than oxygen.
Zinc 
 Similarly,  (0.6%), with a half life of 1.3x1016 years  is usually considered to not be radioactive.
Zinc 
 The motor of a motorboat often has a "bullet" of zinc, that will corrode easily, but will help other metal parts of the motor to stay rust free.
Zinc 
 People add tiny amounts of zinc compounds to vitamin pills and cereals to make sure that they get enough zinc.
Zebra 
 Despite many attempts, we do not really know what the advantage is of having those characteristic stripes.
Zebra 
 There are different species and sub-species of zebra, and they all have stripes, so scientists think it must be important.
Zebra 
 Zebras are social animals that spend time in herds, they graze together and sometimes even groom each other.
Zoo 
 A zoological garden, zoological park, or zoo is a place where many different species types of animals are kept so people can see and watch them.
Zoo 
 Modern zoos try not only to be for people's entertainment, but for education, research, and the conservation and protection of animals.
Zoo 
 These modern zoos also want to give the animals a natural life, so that they are healthy and behave normal.
Zoo 
 This is done for the animals, but also that people can see the animals as if they were in nature, and not in a zoo.
Zoo 
 They work to ensure zoos can provide the most natural environment possible for wildlife in its care.
Zoo 
 A safari park is a type of zoo where visitors can drive their own vehicles or ride in vehicles given by the park to see the animals.
Zoo 
 A petting zoo is a type of zoo that has domestic animals and some wild animals that are very calm so that the visitors can touch and feed them.
Zoo 
 Most petting zoos usually have very calm herbivorous domesticated animals, such as: sheep, goats, pigs, rabbits or ponies, to feed and touch them safely.
Zoo 
 Many animal theme parks combine theme park elements, like entertainment and amusement rides, with zoo elements such as live animals kept inside cages so that visitors can see them.
Copyright 
 Copyright is a law that gives the owner of a work (for example, a book, movie, picture, song or website) the right to say how other people can use it.
Copyright 
 It is one part of a group of laws about intellectual property (the others being trademark and patent law).
Copyright 
 It helps protect authors from other people copying their works without permission and/or for commercial purposes.
Copyright 
 In more serious cases, a person who copies a work that is protected under copyright could be arrested, fined or even go to prison.
Copyright 
 Commonly, the copy-right law will protect the authors and their heirs from 50 to 100 years since the first day of the authors' deaths.
Copyright 
 In some countries, someone violating copyright law will be sued only to the civil law courts but other countries they can also be charged by criminal courts.
Copyright 
 Because technology got better over time, copyright began to cover other types of media such as pictures, sound, and film.
Copyright 
 Commonly, copyright violation warning would be shown at the beginning of the media to warn audiences against violating copyright law.
Copyright 
 In most countries, authors automatically own the copyright to any work they make or create, as long as they do not give the copyright to someone else.
Copyright 
 In most countries, there is no need to register the copyright, and some countries do not even have procedures to register copyrights.
Copyright 
 But, where registration is available, many authors register anyway, especially for works that are sold for money.
Copyright 
 That is because registration helps to prove that the copyright of a work belongs to a certain author.
Copyright 
 If an author gets paid to make a work for someone else, the person who pays for making the work (for example, the author's employer) will often get to own the copyright instead of the author themselves.
Copyright 
 For example, if a person working for a company, Microsoft creates a new computer software program at work, the Microsoft company would own the copyright.
Copyright 
 It is very common that the company will instead register the copyright to avoid their employees from claiming their works.
Copyright 
 In some countries, such as Canada and New Zealand, works are protected for 50 years after the last living author dies.
Copyright 
 In other countries, like the United States and the European Union, the protection lasts for 70 years after death.
Copyright 
 When the period of copyright protection has ended, the written document, musical composition, book, picture, or other creative work is in the public domain.
Copyright 
 This means that no one owns the copyright and everyone is free to copy, use and change them without having to ask for permission or pay the owner.
Copyright 
 This means that people can copy a very small amount of a work to use in reviews or in research reports.
Copyright 
 An example of fair use is when newspaper writers quote several sentences from a copyright-protected document to tell the story.
Copyright 
 Another example of "fair use" is when a university professor quotes several sentences from a copyright-protected book in a review of the book, or in a research report.
Copyright 
 how much longer copyright lasts after the author dies or after the work is created or published, and
Copyright 
 Because of these differences, a certain piece of work may be under copyright in one country, and in the public domain in another.
Copyright 
 Some people argue that copyright laws make it easier for people to make new works and think of new ideas.
Copyright 
 After all, if authors get to make money for the time, effort and money they put in, then they will want to make more works later, and make more money.
Copyright 
 But the publisher has many different things to sell, and they may not want to sell the work the author made.
Copyright 
 In many markets, a few big publishers own the copyrights to almost everything available, and stores will not want to sell works published by small authors themselves.
Copyright 
 Many people say copyright law helps big publishers stay in control, and keeps smaller authors out of the market. (
Copyright 
 With open content, authors give everyone permission to copy, change and give away or sell their works, as long as they follow certain rules.
Copyright 
 If a person changes the work, or if a person makes a new derivative work based on it, they must give the original author credit (they must say who wrote it).
Copyright 
 If a person publishes the changed or derivative piece of work, they must let others use it under the same free license.
