United States dollar 
 For example, people demand a large amount of cash for shopping and vacations during the year-end holiday season.

United States dollar 
 Most of the inventory consists of deposits by banks that had more cash than they needed to serve their customers and deposited the excess at the Fed to help meet their reserve requirements.

Shape of the universe 
 The shape of the Universe cannot be discussed with everyday terms, because all the terms need to be those of Einsteinian relativity.
Shape of the universe 
 The geometry of the universe is therefore not the ordinary Euclidean geometry of our everyday lives.
Shape of the universe 
 According to the special theory of relativity, it is impossible to say whether two distinct events occur at the same time if those events are separated in space.
Shape of the universe 
 To speak of "the shape of the universe (at a point in time)" is naive from the point of view of special relativity.
Shape of the universe 
 Due to the relativity of simultaneity we cannot speak of different points in space as being "at the same point in time" nor, therefore, of "the shape of the universe at a point in time".
Shape of the universe 
 What astrophysicists do is ask whether a particular model of the universe is consistent with what is known through observations and measurements of the universe.
Shape of the universe 
 If the observable universe is smaller than the entire universe (in some models it is many orders of magnitude smaller or even infinitesimal), observation is limited to a part of the whole.
Shape of the universe 
 local geometry, which relates especially to the curvature of the universe, especially in the observable universe, and
Shape of the universe 
 global geometry, which relates to the topology of the universe as a whole, measurement of which may not be possible.

 It is a spherical volume (a ball) centered on the observer, regardless of the shape of the universe as a whole.
Shape of the universe 
 Every location in the universe has its own observable universe, which may or may not overlap with the one centered on Earth.
Shape of the universe 
 Recent measurements have led NASA to state, "We now know that the universe is flat with only a 0.4% margin of error".
Shape of the universe 
 Within one model, the FLRW model, the present most popular shape of the Universe found to fit observational data is the infinite flat model.
Meteor shower 
 These meteors are caused by meteoroids entering Earth's atmosphere at extremely high speeds on parallel paths.
Meteor shower 
 Most meteors are smaller than a grain of sand, so almost all of them burn up and never hit the Earth's surface.
Meteor shower 
 A meteor shower is the result of an interaction between a planet, such as Earth, and streams of debris from a comet.
Meteor shower 
 Each time a comet swings by the Sun in its orbit, some of its ice vaporizes and meteoroids will be shed.
Meteor shower 
 The meteoroids spread out along the entire orbit of the comet to form a meteoroid stream, also known as a "dust trail".
Meteor shower 
 Most of our short-period meteor showers are the product of rare disintegrations, when large chunks break off a mostly dormant comet.
Meteor shower 
 They originated from a breakup of asteroid-like objects, 2003 EH1 and 3200 Phaethon, respectively, about 500 and 1000 years ago.
Meteor shower 
 The fragments tend to fall apart quickly into dust, sand, and pebbles, and spread out along the orbit of the comet to form a dense meteoroid stream, which later moves into Earth's path.
Meteor shower 
 The most visible meteor shower in most years are the Perseids, which peak on 12 August each year at over one meteor per minute.
Meteor shower 
 NASA has a useful tool to calculate how many meteors per hour are visible from your observing location.
Meteor shower 
 About every 33 years, the Leonid shower produces a big meteor storm, peaking at thousands of meteors per hour.
Meteor shower 
 Leonid storms gave birth to the term "meteor shower" when it was first realised, during the November 1833 storm, that the meteors radiated from near the star Gamma Leonis.
Cat 
 Cats, also called domestic cats (Felis catus), are small, carnivorous mammals, of the family Felidae.
Cat 
 There are also farm cats, which are kept on farms to keep rodents away; and feral cats, which are domestic cats that live away from humans.
Cat 
 Cats which are not specific breeds can be referred to as 'domestic shorthair' (DSH) or 'domestic longhair' (DLH).
Cat 
 In the past, most notably in Egypt, people kept domestic cats because they hunted and ate mice and rats.
Cat 
 The oldest evidence of cats kept as pets is from the Mediterranean island of Cyprus, around 7500 BC.
Cat 
 Ancient Egyptians worshipped cats as gods, and often mummified them so they could be with their owners "for all of eternity".
Cat 
 Cats cannot taste sweet foods (with sugar) because of a mutation (change) in their ancestors which removed the ability to taste sweet things.
Cat 
 The cat skull is unusual among mammals in having very large eye sockets and a powerful and specialized jaw.
Cat 
 Compared to other felines, domestic cats have narrowly spaced canine teeth: this is an adaptation to their preferred prey of small rodents.
Cat 
 Cats, like dogs, walk directly on their toes, with the bones of their feet making up the lower part of the visible leg.
Cat 
 Unlike most mammals, when cats walk, they use a "pacing" gait (walking style); that is, they move the two legs on one side of the body before the legs on the other side.
Cat 
 As a walk speeds up into a trot, a cat's gait will change to be a "diagonal" gait, similar to that of most other mammals: the diagonally opposite hind and forelegs will move at the same time.
Cat 
 While dogs have great stamina and will chase prey over long distances, cats are extremely fast, but only over short distances.
Cat 
 The basic cat coat colouring, tabby (see top photo), gives it good camouflage in grass and woodland.
Cat 
 The cat creeps towards a chosen victim, keeping its body flat and near to the ground so that it cannot be seen easily, until it is close enough for a rapid dash or pounce.
Cat 
 Cats, especially kittens, practice these instinctive behaviours in play with each other or on small toys.
Cat 
 They use a flip-up movement of a front paw which, when successful, flips the fish out of water and over the cat's shoulders onto the grass.
Cat 
 Dutch research showed this to be an innate (inherited) behaviour pattern which developed early and without maternal teaching.
Cat 
 Cats use many different sounds for communication, including meowing, purring, trilling, hissing, growling, squeaking, chirping, clicking and grunting.
Cat 
 Also, the position of their ears and tail are used for communication, as well as their usual functions.
Cat 
 She gives good warning with a frightening display, hissing furiously, showing her claws, arching her back, and making her hair stand on end.
Cat 
 This is because a male cat's penis has a band of about 120-150 backwards-pointing spines, which are about one millimeter long.
Cat 
 When the penis is withdrawn, the spines rake the walls of the female's vagina, which is a trigger for ovulation.
Cat 
 Because ovulation is not always triggered, females may not get pregnant by the first tom which mates with them.
Cat 
 A queen may mate with more than one tom when she is in heat, and different kittens in a litter may have different fathers.
Cat 
 Kittens are weaned at between six and seven weeks, and cats normally reach sexual maturity at 5–10 months (females) and to 5–7 months (males).
Cat 
 Females can have two to three litters per year, so might produce up to 150 kittens in their breeding life of about ten years.
Cat 
 After some more days they leave the nest for good, but still they may sleep together in a 'kitten heap'.
Cat 
 The queen, meanwhile, has left the nest from time to time, to hunt, feed, and also to urinate and defecate.
Cat 
 It has been said that no one really owns a cat; many cats collect extra owners, and may change house if they do not like the treatment...
Cat 
 If your kitten was born in your home do not let it out of the house until it is two to three months old.
Cat 
 There is moist canned food and also dry cat food which comes in different sized cans or bags and formulas.
Cat 
 There are kitten formulas, cat formulas, health formulas, formulas for reducing a cat's weight, and many others.
