Dodgeball is a sport played by throwing soft balls, or hard rubber balls, at people in a square court.
The goal is to be the last one to be hit with the ball.
Players may only throw balls at people who are not on their own team.
If a player is hit by the ball,he or she should go to the outside of the court to the other team.
From the outside, players throw the ball at players still on the inside.
Dodgeball is often played in elementary schools in physical education classes.
Many school children play this game.
In recent years, many adults who played it as children have formed adult leagues and clubs.
Also, some schools have banned it (this means that made it against the rules to play it), because players can get hurt when playing the game.
Tournaments are sometimes held in schools.
Dodgeball, because of its recent popularity, inspired a film Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2004) starring Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn, and a game show, Extreme Dodgeball.
A local area network (LAN) is a computer network in a small area like a home, office, or school.
Many computers can be connected to share information and Internet connections.
Most LANs use Ethernet to connect together.
LAN topologies tell you how ROM devices are organised.
Five common LAN topologies exist: bus, ring, star, tree, and mesh.
These topologies are logical architectures.
This means that they tell you the directions that signals go between devices, but that the actual cables that connect the devices might not be connected the same way.
For example, logical bus and ring topologies are commonly organized physically as a star.
A bus ROM means that the signal is put onto the medium and every device on the bus receives the signal.
If more than one device tries to send a signal at the same time, they can interfere with each other.
A long copper wire with other wires tapped into it is an example of a bus topology.
A ring ROM means that each device talks to two other devices in the network and the devices all talk in a circle.
If a computer sends data out one of its interfaces, it could get an answer back on the other one.
Some rings send traffic in only one direction, other ring networks send traffic in both directions.
Token Ring and FDDI are examples of ring topologies.
A star ROM means that one device (the middle of the star) connects to several other devices.
The only way devices on the points of the star can talk to each other is through the device in the middle.
A ROM is an example of a star topology.
Computers on the ROM need to go through the switch to talk to each other.
A tree (or hybrid) topology is named because when you draw a picture of how the devices in this topology are connected, it starts off narrow with few devices at the bottom, then branches out at the top.
Large networks are an example of a tree topology.
There are switches and servers near the bottom of the tree, then all the user's computers "branch out" at the top of the tree.
A mesh network topology means that every device can talk to every other device, and they will not interfere with each other.
You can also have a partial mesh, where some devices do not talk to all of the others.
There are not many simple examples of a mesh network.
A wireless data network where all of the devices use ROM READING or different frequencies to avoid interfering with each other would be one example.

Independence Day (the Gambia)
International Asperger's Day
Pharaohs were kings of ancient Egypt.
The word comes from the Coptic language word Per-aa, which means "Great House".
Pharaohs were believed to be descended from the gods.
The Valley of the Nile had been lived in by early humans for at least 700,000 years.
The area has a long history of human civilization, but Egypt as a state begins in about 5660 BC.
At this time, the separate kingdoms of Upper and Lower Egypt were united.
People studying Egyptian history have divided the pharaohs into 31 groupings, called dynasties.
These dynasties were usually, but not always, based on a related family group.
During the long period of the pharaoh's rule over Egypt, there were times when they did not control the whole country.
This means that some dynasties only controlled part of the country, and another dynasty ruled another part at the same time.
Also there are not complete records, so there are gaps in the lists of pharaohs, and it can be very difficult to list the rulers in chronological order.
The origins of the first pharaohs survive only as legends.
Before the union of Upper and Lower Egypt, kings wore crowns of different design, to show which part of Egypt they ruled.
The red crown was worn in Lower Egypt.
The white crown was worn in Upper Egypt.
Later, kings of the whole of ancient Egypt wore a combination of the two crowns, called a Pschent.
When a pharaoh died, their personal treasure was buried with them; not the treasure of the entire kingdom.
The pharaohs were buried in large tombs, the largest and most famous were the Pyramids.
Many later pharaohs were buried in the Valley of the Kings.
Paintings and writings discovered in these tombs have provided much of our knowledge of the pharaohs.
New discoveries, such as that in 2014 of a new dynasty ruled by a previously unknown pharaoh, Senebkay, are changing what we know about ancient Egypt.
They were mostly men, but there were women such as Cleopatra and Nefertiti.
Pharaohs were considered to be half-man and half-god.
The first pharaoh was Narmer, though he did not use the term.
The Egyptians believed their pharaoh was the god Horus.
Pharaohs had several wives but only one wife was queen.

A diaper (or nappy) is a piece of clothing.
It is worn by those who cannot control their urine or feces.
Diapers can be made of cloth (usually cotton) that can be washed and used again.
They can also be disposable (put in the garbage after they are used up).
Disposable diapers are usually made of plastic or man-made (artificial) fibers and contain chemicals that are  very absorbent.
Diapers that can be washed must be folded in intricate ways (like origami) before being put on.
With the disposable you must constantly buy new ones.
Viewed as unpleasant by some, diapers are mostly used by children from birth until the child has learned to use a toilet.
They are also used by older people.
There are adult diapers for people with medical problems.
Sometimes adults who do not have medical problems also wear diapers.
This can be for different reasons.
Sometimes it is because they have a profession where they cannot always get to a bathroom, like astronauts.
Some adults wear diapers for fun.
This is usually a form of sexual pleasure, or for emotional reasons.
These people are often called "diaper-lovers" or "adult-babies."
The scientific term for liking to wear diapers is "Diaper Fetishists."
