Biplane 
 When engineers found how to makes strong monoplanes, biplanes became rare because they produce more drag.
Biplane 
 Famous biplanes include the Polikarpov Po-2, Sopwith Camel, Avro Tutor, Antonov An-2, Beechcraft Staggerwing, Boeing Stearman, Bristol Bulldog, Curtiss JN-4, de Havilland Tiger Moth, Fairey Swordfish, Hawker Hart, Pitts Special and the Wright Flyer.

Blank slate 
 It had, like much of philosophy, a history which went as far back as Aristotle, but it was Locke who made it known to our modern world:
Blank slate 
 "Let us then suppose the mind to be, as we say, white paper void of all characters, without any ideas.
Blank slate 
 Humans, when born, are thought not have mental experience or knowledge, and that everything is learned after they grow.
Blank slate 
 In particular, Locke thought all knowledge came from sense data, and the mind is empty at the beginning.
Blank slate 
 "Children are a sort of raw material put into our hands... [Their minds are] like a sheet of white paper".
Blank slate 
 "Our virtues and our vices may be traced to the incidents which make the history of our lives, and if these incidents could be divested of every improper tendency, vice would be extirpated [cut out] from the world".—The economist and social liberal William Godwin (1756–1836), who argued for human perfectibility and enlightenment.
Blank slate 
 "Give me a dozen healthy infants, well-formed, and my own specified world to bring them up in and I'll guarantee to take any one at random and train him to become any type of specialist I might select – doctor, lawyer, artist, merchant-chief and, yes, even beggar-man and thief, regardless of his talents, penchants, tendencies, abilities, vocations, and race of his ancestors".
Blank slate 
 Throughout the 20th century the influence of evolution and genetics ran against these liberal ideas.
Blank slate 
 Konrad Lorenz argued that the aggression so obvious in the history of mankind was a playing out of behaviour which had evolutionary advantage in our past.
Blank slate 
 The field of evolutionary psychology set out to examine the role played by evolution on our mental life.
Blank slate 
 If humans share a common evolutionary history with the other animals, it is likely that we inherit mental traits from our evolution.
Blank slate 
 Very important also (though less obvious) is the way that our unconscious mind helps us get through life.
Coypu 
 The nutria first came from South America including Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay.
Poincaré conjecture 
 The sphere (also called the 2-sphere, as it is a 2-dimensional surface, although it is usually seen as inside a three dimensional space) has the property that any loop on it can be contracted to a point (if a rubber band is wrapped around the sphere, it is possible to slide it down to a point).
Poincaré conjecture 
 Other spaces do not have this property, for example the donut: a rubber band that goes around the whole donut once cannot be slid down to a point without it leaving the surface.
Poincaré conjecture 
 Mathematicians knew that this property was unique to the 2-sphere, in the sense that any other simply connected space that does not have edges and is small enough (in mathematician terms, that is compact) is in fact the 2-sphere.
Poincaré conjecture 
 It is no longer true if we remove the idea of smallness however, as an infinitely large plane is also simply connected.
Poincaré conjecture 
 Also, a regular disk (a circle and its interior) is simply connected, but it has an edge (the bounding circle).
Poincaré conjecture 
 The conjecture asks whether the same is true for the 3-sphere, which is an object living naturally in four dimensions.
Poincaré conjecture 
 The question was finally settled in 2002 by Grigori Perelman, a Russian mathematician, with methods from geometry, showing that it is indeed true.
Poincaré conjecture 
 He was awarded a Fields Medal and the $1 million Millennium Prize for his work, both of which he declined.
Poincaré conjecture 
 The Poincaré conjecture can also be extended to higher dimensions: this is the generalised Poincaré conjecture.
Poincaré conjecture 
 Surprisingly, it was easier to prove the fact for higher-dimensional spheres: In 1960, Smale proved it to be true for the 5-sphere, 6-sphere and higher.
Poincaré conjecture 
 In 1982, Freedman proved that it was also true for the 4-sphere, for which he was awarded a Fields Medal.
Megafauna 
 The word is most used for the Pleistocene megafauna  the large land animals of the last ice age, such as mammoths.
Megafauna 
 It is also used for the largest living wild land animals, especially elephants, giraffes, hippopotamus, rhinoceros, elk, condors, etc.
Megafauna 
 Most of the large land animals which were alive 12,000 years ago are now extinct, and there is much discussion as to what has caused this.
Megafauna 
 Together, these reasons are enough to explain why these previously successful animals are now extinct.
Megafauna 
 The moas had survived being hunted by Haast's Eagle, but they did not survive being hunted for food by the Maoris.

Cucurbitales 
 This order mostly belongs to tropical areas, with limited presence in subtropic and temperate regions.
Cucurbitales 
 One of major characteristics of the Cucurbitales is the presence of unisexual flowers, with thick pointed petals (whenever present).
Cucurbitales 
 The pollination is usually performed by insects, but wind pollination, where flowers use the wind to move pollen from one flower to the next, is also present (in Coriariaceae and Datiscaceae).
Cucurbitales 
 The largest families are Begoniaceae (begonia family) with 1400 species and Cucurbitaceae (gourd family) with 825 species.
Cucurbitales 
 Specifically, the Cucurbitaceae are responsible for some food species, such as squash, pumpkin (both from Cucurbita), watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris), melon and cucumber (both Cucumis).

Nachos 
 Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya created nachos at the Victory Club in 1940 when Mamie Finan, a regular customer, asked if Anaya could bring her and three other women a different snack than usual.
Nachos 
 The dish was so popular, the owner of the Victory Club, Roberto de los Santos, put Nacho's Special on the menu and the snack quickly spread throughout the world.
Unicycle 
 Giraffe unicycles are much taller than traditional unicycles, and use a chain so that the performer's legs do not have to stretch very far.
Unicycle 
 It lets the performer pay attention to what they are doing in their hands, instead of to the ground in front of them.
Unicycle 
 To "idle" a unicycle, performers usually press one foot down, anchoring it in the bottom position of the wheel.
Unicycle 
 This foot both provides support and completes the rocking motion that is necessary to keep the unicycle balanced.
Unicycle 
 This includes going backwards, riding up and down steps, pedaling with only one foot, hopping in place, wheel-walking (putting the feet on the tire instead of on the pedals) and riding over obstacles.

Dark energy 
 Dark energy is the name given to the force that is believed to accelerate the expansion of the universe.
Dark energy 
 Distant galaxies appear to be moving away from us at high speed: the idea is that the universe is getting bigger and has been since the Big Bang.
Dark energy 
 Measurements are now accurate enough to allow astronomers to tell that these galaxies seem to be accelerating away from us.
Dark energy 
 It is as if there was something there in empty space providing a repulsive force (Anti-gravity) that makes the universe expand.

Green Revolution 
 The Green Revolution was a spread of technology by Norman Borlaug, who earned the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970 and is held to have saved over a billion people from starving to death, from the 1930s to the 1960s.
Green Revolution 
 It was made up of the creation of different types of cereal grains that grew more food than average, more use of modern systems for watering crops, making management more modern, and the spread of hybridized seeds, man-made fertilizers, and pesticides to farmers.
Green Revolution 
 In the 20th century, big spending in modern and scientific research for agriculture led to the growth of more food in industrial countries.
Green Revolution 
 The Rockefeller Foundation and Ford Foundation helped to change these scientific technologies to fit the conditions in developing countries.
Green Revolution 
 The first research was on rice and wheat, two of the most important food crops for developing countries.
Green Revolution 
 Irrigation and the growth of better plant types, in addition to more use of fertilizers and pesticides, led to more food growth in Asia and Latin America, starting in the late 1960s.
Green Revolution 
 The term “Green Revolution” was used to mean the large growth in agriculture that happened at this time.

Victoria line 
 It is a deep-level underground metro line that runs from Brixton in south London to Walthamstow Central in the north-east.
Victoria line 
 It is the only line on the Underground, other than the two-stop Waterloo & City line, which is completely underground.
Victoria line 
 The only section of track to come above ground is the route to the depot from Seven Sisters to Northumberland Park.
Victoria line 
 The Underground line has hump-backed stations which allow trains to store gravitational potential energy as they arrive and to then use this energy as they leave the stations.
Victoria line 
 As the train leaves the station it travels down the hill, with gravity helping the train to speed up.
Victoria line 
 A new tube railway running from Victoria to Walthamstow was first proposed by a Working Party set up by the British Transport Commission in 1948.
Victoria line 
 There was also a proposal for an extension from Victoria to Fulham Broadway station on the District line, but this was not included in the Bill.
Victoria line 
 A test tunnel from Tottenham to Manor House under Seven Sisters Road had been constructed in 1959 and this was later integrated into the running tunnels.
Victoria line 
 Barbara Castle, the Minister of Transport gave approval on 4 August 1967 to build the Brixton extension.
Victoria line 
 On 28 June 1968, Richard Marsh, then Minister of Transport approved the proposal to build a station at Pimlico.
Victoria line 
 Other suggestions were "Walvic line" (Walthamstow Central station–Victoria station) and "Viking line" (Victoria station–King's Cross station).
Victoria line 
 During the planning stages, it was known as Route C. Later, it was named the Victoria line after Victoria Station by David McKenna.
Victoria line 
 The Victoria line was designed to get rid of build-ups of traffic on other lines, such as the Piccadilly line.
Victoria line 
 It was also designed to have as many interchanges as possible, and all stations except Pimlico have an interchange with at least one other London Underground or National Rail line.
Victoria line 
 It had been intended to build the line past Walthamstow Central to Wood Street (Walthamstow), where it would come above ground to terminate next to the British Railways station.
Victoria line 
 Each Victoria line station apart from Pimlico was built as an interchange station and several existing stations were re–arranged to allow for cross-platform interchange with it.
Victoria line 
 In some cases this was achieved by placing the Victoria line platforms on either side of the existing station.
Victoria line 
 In others the Victoria line uses one of the older platforms and the existing line was moved toto a new platform.
Victoria line 
 At Euston, northbound Victoria and Northern line (Bank branch) trains run along platforms next to each other, although they are travelling in opposite directions. "
Victoria line 
 Same-direction" cross-platform interchanges are available at Stockwell (with the Northern line), Oxford Circus (with the Bakerloo line), Highbury & Islington (with First Capital Connect, originally the Northern City Line) and at Finsbury Park (with the Piccadilly line).
Victoria line 
 Each station was decorated with tiled motifs on seating recesses to differentiate them from each other.
Victoria line 
 During the construction of the Jubilee line in the late 1970s, the original motifs on Green Park station were replaced by motifs matching the new design for the Jubilee line platforms.
Victoria line 
 Platform humps were installed on all Victoria Line stations, except for Pimlico, during late 2010 and 2011.
Victoria line 
 The Rail Vehicle Accessibility (Non Interoperable Rail System) Regulations 2010 and the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 created the need for the humps to be installed.
Victoria line 
 This idea was not used because it would have been too hard to move the stock to Acton Works for heavy overhauls.
Victoria line 
 This is no longer a problem since train overhauls have been moved away from Acton Works to the builders' own works.
Victoria line 
 This means it can only run on the Victoria line, as it is too wide for the tunnels of other deep level tube lines.
Victoria line 
 If the way ahead is clear, the ATO drives the train at a safe speed to the next station and stops there.
Victoria line 
 As a result, the station infrastructure standards were lower than on older lines and on later extension projects.
Victoria line 
 Examples of these lower standards include narrower than usual platforms and undecorated ceilings at Walthamstow Central, Blackhorse Road and Tottenham Hale.
Victoria line 
 At most stations between the up and down escalators there is a concrete staircase where an additional escalator could be installed, but has not been fitted.
Victoria line 
 This has been remedied at Brixton in 2004 and at Vauxhall in 2006 where an additional escalator has been installed in place of the fixed stairway.
Victoria line 
 In addition, there have been station closures for safety reasons, when both escalators have been unserviceable.
Victoria line 
 Over many years, heavy equipment has been installed in fenced-off sections at the ends of platforms owing to the lack of anywhere else to install them.
Victoria line 
 It is not clear from Transport for London's Five-Year Investment Programme whether these shortcomings are likely to be remedied.
Victoria line 
 The 1967 stock was replaced bit by bit from July 2009 as part of Transport for London's 5-year £10 billion redevelopment project.
Victoria line 
 The replacement for the line's 1967 tube stock is the 2009 tube stock built by Bombardier Transportation.
Victoria line 
 The last of the 1967 stock trains ran on 30 June 2011, after which the whole service was provided by 2009 stock.
Victoria line 
 Supporters of Tottenham Hotspur (and the club itself) have campaigned for a surface station to be opened next to Northumberland Park Station, next to the line's depot.
Victoria line 
 This would provide an improvement in transport links, seen as essential if the club's wish to redevelop their ground and increase crowd capacity is to become a reality.
Victoria line 
 The idea was looked into but Network Rail own the necessary land and need it for their own expansion plans.
Victoria line 
 When Crossrail 2 is built, it will lower the number of passengers on the Victoria line (there are too many at the moment).
Victoria line 
 It will offer an alternative route across Central London between Victoria and King's Cross St. Pancras.
Victoria line 
 This would remove a problem of having too many trains by getting rid if the need for trains to reverse at Brixton.
Victoria line 
 It is next to Northumberland Park railway station, on Tottenham Marshes, Tottenham in the London Borough of Haringey.
Victoria line 
 The Depot is connected to the Victoria Line by a tunnelled branch line to a junction to the north of Seven Sisters.
Victoria line 
 There is a local campaign for platforms for the Victoria Line to be built at Northumberland Park station.
Victoria line 
 This is supported by the Haringey Council and by Tottenham Hotspur F.C. because the club thinks the new platforms are necessary for their plans to increase capacity at their White Hart Lane ground.

Third rail 
 A third rail is a metal railway track that is placed on either side of a train track to provide electrical power to trains traveling along the tracks.
Third rail 
 Scottish engineer Robert Davidson designed and built an electric locomotive in 1837 using batteries.
Third rail 
 Locomotives powered by batteries could not be used on the main railways due to the frequent need to charge them.
Third rail 
 German engineer Werner von Siemens in 1879 designed the first reliable electric locomotive to carry passengers.
Third rail 
 Siemens' design used a 2.2kW electric motor and had a top speed of just over 13 km/h. This new locomotive hauled three passenger cars along a 300 meter circular railway track and carried about 90,000 people in four months during its trail run at the Berlin Industrial Exhibition.
Third rail 
 Siemens' electric locomotive was the first train to use a third rail and power was provided by a dynamo built for this purpose.
Third rail 
 Whilst many modern long distance trains use an overhead wire system to provide power, the third rail was the first successful means of supplying power.
Third rail 
 The electricity is transmitted to the train by means of a sliding shoe, which is held in contact with the rail.
Third rail 
 On many systems an insulating cover is provided above the third rail to protect employees working near the track; sometimes the shoe is designed to contact the side (called side running) or bottom (called bottom running) of the third rail, allowing the protective cover to be mounted directly to its top surface.
Third rail 
 In 2005 American James Maki fell onto the third rail at a Boston rail station and suffered extensive and disfiguring injuries.
Third rail 
 In New York City, there have been multiple cases of people dying because they have urinated on the third rail.
Yonge Street 
 Yonge Street (pronounced "young") is a main street in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and its northern suburbs.
Yonge Street

 Yonge Street is the home of or close to many places of interest in Toronto, including street and theatre acts, the Eaton Centre, the Hockey Hall of Fame and–at the very start of the road–'One Yonge Street', the offices of the Toronto Star newspaper.
Yonge Street 
 Yonge Street is thought to be Toronto's main street, because of it splits the city into east and west, and the has the Yonge subway line running under it.
Yonge Street 
 Toronto's annual Gay Pride, Orange Order, and Santa Claus parades also use Yonge Street for a large part of their routes.
Yonge Street 
 Canadian singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot has a song about Yonge Street, titled "On Yonge Street", on his album A Painter Passing Through.
Yonge Street 
 On April 23, 2018 a white van collided with numerous pedestrians killing nine and injuring sixteen others at Yonge Street.
