Aşgabat (; , UniPers: Ešq-âbâd;  - Ashkhabád) is the capital city of Turkmenistan.
It also spelled as Ashgabat, Ashkabat, Ashkhabad, Ashgabad, a former Soviet republic.
Aşgabat has a population of 695,300 (2001) and is between the Kara Kum desert and the Kopet Dag mountain range.
The name is believed to borrow from the Persian Ashk-abad meaning "the City of Arsaces".
Another explanation is that the name is a corruption of the Persian Eshq (Love) + abad (natured place or city), and therefore loosely translates as "The city built by/from love".
Aşgabat is at 37°58′N 58°20′E (37.9667, 58.333).
Aşgabat's ethnic groups are: Turkmen, Russians, Armenians, and Azeris.
Arsaces was king of Persia and his name appears between 3 and 4 times in the Bible.

A crew usually is a group of people that work within a common organisation, and that have some activities in common.
The usual place where crews can be found are ships and airplanes.
On such ships and aircraft, some functions some people perform are very special.
It is therefore common that crews are organised in a hierarchy.
Every person, except the captain, at the top, has a person above them.
They will report to that person.
Teams who work backstage in theaters, on movie sets, and in television studios are also called crews.
Such crews are distinct from the cast.

Paraphilia is a word used in sociology and medicine.
Like many other medical terms it comes from Ancient Greek.
It means that someone is sexually aroused by people (or by things) that are unable to return their affection.
The word can also be used to refer to sexual practices which are bad for the mind or body and are mental disorders.
When doctors talk about paraphilia, they usually mean one of the following, among other things:
Dendrophilia - Sexual attraction to trees
Emetophilia - Sexual arousal from vomiting or watching others vomit
Exhibitionism- Wanting to expose oneself to strangers
Fetishism- Sexual arousal by non-sexual objects, like lamps or boxes.
Frotteurism- Sexual arousal by rubbing against strangers
Infantilism - Wanting to be treated like an infant or a toddler
Incestophilia - Wanting to have sex with relatives
Klismaphilia - Sexual arousal from enemas
Masochism- Wanting to be hurt physically
Necrophilia - Sexual attraction to corpses
Chronophilia- Wanting to have sex with a specific age group
Sadism- Wanting to hurt people
Urolognia - Enjoying urinating on people, and/or having people urinate on him
Voyeurism- Sexual arousal by looking at strangers doing sexual things
Zoophilia - Feeling sexually attracted to animals
The respective behaviour is only classified as paraphilia if it is the only means for the person involved to get sexually aroused, for a considerable time.
Homosexuality (LGBT) used to be considered a paraphilia, but this is no longer the case in a lot of countries.
However, in a lot of other countries it is still considered abnormal.
The opposite of paraphilia is normophilia.
An example of a normophilia is teleiophilia.

Nupedia was an English-language  online encyclopedia.
Its articles were written by volunteers and checked by experts.
They were licensed as open content.
It was founded by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger.
Nupedia was online from March 2000 until September 2003.
It is mostly known as the website which came before Wikipedia.
Unlike Wikipedia, Nupedia was not a wiki.
It also had a long peer-review process for all of its articles.
This was supposed to make its articles as good as professional encyclopedias.
Nupedia wanted scholars to help build it.
Before it shut down, Nupedia had 25 articles that completed its own review routine.
In late 1999, Jimmy Wales began thinking about an online encyclopedia built by volunteers.
In January 2000, he hired Larry Sanger to manage it.
The project went online on March 9, 2000.
From when it started, Nupedia was a free content encyclopedia.
Bomis, Jimmy Wales' company, was going to get money from adverts on the Nupedia website.
At first, the project used a license that was made up by Wales and Sanger.
Later, it began using the Nupedia Open Content License.
In January 2001, it switched to the GNU Free Documentation License.
This was because Richard Stallman and the Free Software Foundation said they should.
Also in January 2001, Nupedia started Wikipedia.
At first, it was not meant to be an encyclopedia.
Instead, it was meant as a side-project to allow people to work on articles for Nupedia before they were peer reviewed.
As Wikipedia got bigger and attracted new users, it began to run without Nupedia.
However, Larry Sanger first led activity on Wikipedia.
This was because he was the chief editor on Nupedia.
Wikipedia led to the gradual shutdown of Nupedia.
Jimmy Wales decided to stop paying Sanger in December 2001.
Sanger then left both Nupedia and Wikipedia.
After Sanger left, Nupedia became even less noticed than Wikipedia.
As Nupedia was used less and less, the idea of changing its articles into Wikipedia articles was sometimes proposed.
However, it was never done.
After it closed down, Nupedia's articles were moved in to Wikipedia.
Nupedia's articles were all peer reviewed.
These were the steps they had to follow:
Finding a lead reviewer
Lead review
Open review
Lead copyediting (when articles had their grammar, punctuation and layout changed to look better)
Open copyediting
Final approval and markup
People who wrote for Nupedia were supposed to be experts in what they wrote about.
However, some articles could be written by a good writer, rather than an expert.
People who changed content on Nupedia were expected to be "true experts in their fields and (with few exceptions) possess PhDs", which means that they should be experts in what they are changing and (generally) have PhDs.

An article is a word that comes before a noun.
There are two kinds of articles: definite articles and indefinite articles.
In English there is just one definite article: "the".
There are two indefinite articles: "a" and "an".
The word "an" is used before a word starting with a vowel sound (not necessarily a vowel letter): we say "a horse", "a child", "a European" (European has a "Y" sound, /j/, which is a consonant sound), "a university", but "an orange", "an elephant".
Some languages have more than one word for "the".
In some languages, this is because each noun is either masculine or feminine or, in some languages it can be masculine, feminine or neuter.
For example: in French "le" is used for masculine nouns ("le jardin" - "the garden") and "la" for feminine nouns ("la table" - "the table"). "
The" becomes "les" in front of plural nouns.
The indefinite articles in French are "un" (masculine) and "une" (feminine).
German, Dutch and Ancient Greek have masculine, feminine and neuter nouns, but in the case of Dutch the word for "the" is the same for masculine and feminine ("de") so you do not need to know which it is.
The Māori language uses one word for "the" for when the subject or object to which the "the" refers is one in number, and uses another word for "the" when the subject or object to which the "the" refers numbers more than one.
There are also many languages that do not have articles.
Some examples include Russian, Hindi, Japanese, and Chinese.
When speakers of these languages are learning English, it is often difficult to explain to them what an article is because English speakers use them naturally.
Even though these languages do not have articles, they still have grammatical features that allow them to show definiteness.
In general: "the" in English is used for something you already know about or have already been talking about.
The word "a" is used when introducing a new idea:
"The tired woman was looking for her cat.
Suddenly she saw the cat up a tree". (
We are already talking about the cat.
The tree is a new idea).
"The tired woman was walking along when she suddenly saw a cat up a tree". (
She had not been thinking about cats until then).
Waterfront is the land by the side of a body of water (E.g. Lake or Ocean).
East Asia or Eastern Asia is part of the continent Asia.
East Asia covers about , or 15% of the continent.

Note:The cities of Taipei and Kaohsiung are managed directly by the central government and are not part of Taiwan province, though the counties of the same name all around these cities are part of the province.
The People's Republic of China, which does not control Taiwan Province, does not recognize Taipei and Kaohsiung as central cities and lists them as provincial cities.

Tbilisi is the capital, and the largest city in Georgia.
It was founded in the 5th century by the Georgian king, Vakhtang Gorgasali.
According to legend, when he was hunting, he killed a pheasant which dropped into hot water.
Gorgasali discovered there were a lot of hot springs in this place, which he called Tbilisi as tbili means hot in Georgian.
Robots are controlled by a computer program or electronic circuitry.
They may be directly controlled by humans.
They may be designed to look like humans, in which case their behaviour may suggest intelligence or thought but they do not have feelings.
Most robots do a specific job, and they do not always look like humans.
They can come in many forms.
In fiction, however, robots usually look like people, and seem to have a life of their own.
There are many books, movies, and video games with robots in them.
Isaac Asimov's I, Robot is perhaps the most famous.
People have been interested in building machines to do work for us for a long time.
But it takes time and money to build just one machine, so early ideas were not built.
Leonardo da Vinci designed a man-shaped machine to look like a knight in 1464.
It would be controlled with ropes and wheels.
Other engineers and dreamers drew mechanical men.
In 1920, Karel Čapek wrote a story about them, and he used a word from Czech that is connected with 'work': robot.
The most successful robot designs in the 20th century were not made to look like people.
They were designed for use.
George Devol made the first of these, the Unimate, in 1954, with one arm and one hand.
General Motors bought it in 1960.
The next year, it started work in a factory in New Jersey, lifting and stacking pieces of metal that were too hot for people to touch.
The engineers could program it, and reprogram it if they had to.
Modern robots
Robots have many uses.
Many factories use robots to do hard work quickly and without many mistakes.
They do not look like people, because they are made to do things.
These are 'industrial' robots.
Some robots find and get rid of bombs.
If someone makes a mistake, the robot is damaged or destroyed, which is better than a person being killed.
There are also robots that help at home, to vacuum or run a lawn mower, for example.
Such robots must learn about the area of work.
Planet rovers are robots for exploring distant planets.
Because it takes a long time to send a radio signal from Earth to another planet, the robots do much of their work alone, without commands from Earth.
People still think of robots as having a shape like a person—two legs, two arms, and a head.
ASIMO is one robot that is helping scientists learn how to design and program robots.
It can walk, which is not easy to program.
Eastern and western views
Eastern thoughts on robots
Roughly half of all the robots in the world are in Asia, 32% in Europe, and 16% in North America, 1% in Australasia and 1% in Africa.
30% of all the robots in the world are in Japan.
Japan has the most robots of any country in the world, and is the leader in the world robotics industry.
Japan is actually said to be the robotic capital of the world.
In Japan and South Korea, ideas of future robots have been mainly positive.
The positive reception of robots there may be partly because of the famous cartoon robot, 'Astroboy'.
China expressed views on robotics that are similar to those of Japan and South Korea, but China is behind both America and Europe in robotic development.
The East Asian view is that robots should be roughly equal to humans.
They feel robots could care for old people, teach children, or serve as assistants.
The popular opinion of East Asia is that it would be good for robots to become more popular and more advanced.
This view is opposite to the popular Western view.
"This is the opening of an era in which human beings and robots can co-exist," says Japanese firm Mitsubishi about one of the many human-like robots in Japan.
The South Korean Ministry of Information and Communication has  predicted that every South Korean household will have a robot by between 2015 and 2020.
Western thoughts on robots
Western societies are more likely to be against, or even fear the development of robots.
Science fiction movies and other stories often show them as dangerous rebels against humanity.
The West regards robots as a 'threat' to the future of humans, which is much due to religious influence of the Abrahamic religions, in which creating machines that can think for themselves would almost be playing God.
Obviously, these boundaries are not clear, but there is a significant difference between the two ideologies.
Robot Laws
A robot must obey orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
These were not used in real life when he invented them.
However, in today's world robots are more complicated, and one day real laws may be needed, much like Isaac Asimov's original three laws.

Membership is open to all European democracies which accept the principle of the rule of law and guarantee fundamental human rights, civil rights and freedoms to their citizens and respect of rights of minority groups.
The Council of Europe is not to be confused with the Council of the European Union or the European Council, as it is a separate organisation and not part of the European Union.
But all member states of European Union are also the member states of Council of Europe.

Recognition, or recognize, is when humans or animals know something about the surrounding objects or beings.
For example, an animal might recognize another animal as an enemy or friend, dangerous or harmless.
These cognitive acts relate to the beings' perception, memory, learning, and experience.
Pattern recognition in software
In computer programs, pattern recognition tries to teach computers to perceive and recognize things as accurately as possible, how people do it or better.
Pattern recognition by computers distinguishes objects, images, fingerprints, writing, audio, faces and other things automatically.
Countries that recognize each other have diplomatic relations.
That means they send diplomats to each other, and make different kinds of agreements, about trade, international laws and other things.
Cystic fibrosis, also known as mucoviscidosis, CF, and 65 roses, is a condition a person may get from their parents.
It makes the body make thick, sticky mucus, which builds up in the lungs, the digestive system, and other parts of the body.
If both parents have the cystic fibrosis gene, and pass it into their child, the child will get cystic fibrosis.
A cystic fibrosis gene is needed from each parent.
The parent might not have cystic fibrosis but still might have the gene.
A person with cystic fibrosis is not contagious (they cannot give it to anyone else).
There is no cure for cystic fibrosis, but there are a lot of medications that help keep people healthy.
What CF does to the body
Cystic fibrosis affects the entire body.
Overall the body has trouble moving salt to the parts of the body that need it.
Since the body has trouble moving salt, it piles up in places it is not supposed to like the lungs, stomach and intestines.
In the lungs when salt gets stuck it causes there to be less water which makes mucus become very thick.
It becomes very hard to breathe.
The treatment for this is breathing medicine to help add water to the lungs to keep the mucus thinner so it is easier to cough up.
When there is thinner and less mucus it is easier to breathe.
There is no cure for cystic fibrosis.
Even though people can do things to stay healthy.
Healthy habits keep the person from getting more sick.
People can stay clean.
People can stay away from germs.
They can drink water to help the mucus go away.
Taking enzymes help digest food if there is mucus in the stomach.
Exercise clears mucus.
It builds strong muscles and bones and strengthens the lungs.
Taking vitamins helps the body fight off the infection.
It also helps the body grow and function well.
Inhaled antibiotics are used to keep bacteria from growing in the thick mucus.
Inhaled salt-water helps keep the lungs moisturized
Testing for cystic fibrosis
Sweat chloride test - this tests the salt level of a persons sweat.
Genetic test - this is used if the sweat test is positive to see if they have both genes.
65 roses
"65 roses" is how some children refer to their condition since cystic fibrosis is difficult for a young child to say. '
65 Roses' is also a trademarked phrase by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to help control its use.
It is a very helpful way for young children to understand.
When spoken aloud, it sounds similar to cystic fibrosis.
IEEE 1394 is the name for a set of standards.
The standards specify a serial bus which can be used to transfer information.
Other names for the standards include Firewire, i.Link and Lynx.
The standard is often used to connect a computer to an external device, like a hard drive or digital camcorder.
It also has uses to transfer data in cars and airplanes.
It is similar to the contemporary USB.
Firewire replaced the earlier SCSI for many applications: Making a device understand Firewire is easier than having it understand SCSI; handling Firewire cables is also much easier than SCSI cabling.
FireWire is popular in industrial systems for machine vision and professional audio systems.
It is preferred over the more common USB because of its greater effective speed and power distribution capabilities, and because it does not need a computer host.
Perhaps more importantly, FireWire makes full use of all SCSI (older connecting possibility) capabilities.
Compared to USB 2.0, it usually has higher data transfer rates.
This feature is important for audio and video editors.
Also many computers intended for home or professional audio/video use have built-in FireWire ports, including all Apple Inc. and Sony laptop computers and most Dell and Hewlett-Packard models currently produced.
It is available to general public on retail motherboards for do-it-yourself PCs, alongside USB.
History and development
FireWire is Apple Inc.'s name for the IEEE 1394 High Speed Serial Bus.
Apple intended FireWire to be a serial replacement for the parallel SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) bus while also providing connectivity for digital audio and video equipment.
Apple's development of the original IEEE 1394 was completed in 1995.It was followed by several modifications: The IEEE Std.
1394a-2000, the IEEE Std.
1394b-2002, and the IEEE Std.
1394c-2006 amendment.
The aim of current work is to incorporate all four of these documents into new revision of the 1394 standard.
FireWire 400 (IEEE 1394)
FireWire 400 can transfer data between devices at 100, 200, or 400 Mbit/s data rates.
The 6-pin connector is commonly found on desktop computers, and can supply the connected device with power.
Enhancements (IEEE 1394a)
Modification IEEE 1394a was released in 2000.
It standardized the 4 pin connector already widely in use.
The 4-pin version is used on many consumer devices such as camcorders, some laptops and other small FireWire devices.
It is fully data compatible with 6-pin interfaces.
FireWire 800 (IEEE 1394b)
9-pin FireWire 800 was introduced commercially by Apple Inc. in 2003.
This newer specification (1394b) and corresponding products allow a transfer rate of 786.432 Mbit/s. It is backwards compatibility to the slower rates and 6-pin connectors of FireWire 400.
However, while the IEEE 1394a and IEEE 1394b standards are compatible, connectors are different, making the cables used by previous versions incompatible.
FireWire S3200
In December 2007, the 1394 Trade Association announced the products will soon be available using S3200 mode.
It will use the same 9-pin connectors as the existing FireWire 800 and will be fully compatible with existing S400 and S800 devices.
The future products are intended to compete with the USB 3.0.
The numbers given after the FireWire, or the S give the approximate speed in MBit/s, rounded up to the next 100.
The first version can transfer 98.304.000 Bits/s, or 12.288.000 Bytes/s. The versions that came afterwards can do this speed, and multiples of it.
Using the SI prefix, this is exactly 98.304 kbit/s, using the binary prefix, it is 96.000 kiBit/s. To avoid confusion, it is rounded to the next closest 100.
That way, S3200 does not transfer 3.200 Mbit/s, nor 3.200 MiBit/s, but 3.145,728 Mbit/s, or 3.000 MiBit/s. This is approximately 2,93 Gibit/s.
Addressing and Bus management
Unlike with USB, there is no one device that manages the bus all the time.
Each device is able to manage the bus.
When a new device is connected, there will be negotiations between the devices which of them does the management.
Addresses have a length of 64 Bits.
Of these, 10 are used to identify segments (as part of the network), 6 are used for nodes, and 48 are freely available.
The standard used to connect several segments has not yet been ratified.
For this reason, all Firewire networks currently only use one segment.
Devices on a FireWire bus can communicate by direct memory access.
With Direct Memory access (DMA) a device can use hardware to map internal memory to FireWire's "Physical Memory Space".
The SBP-2 (Serial Bus Protocol 2) used by FireWire disk drives uses this capability to minimize interrupts and buffer copies.
In SBP-2, the initiator (controlling device) sends a request by remotely writing a command into a specified area of the target's FireWire address space.
This command usually includes buffer addresses in the initiator's FireWire "Physical Address Space".
The target is supposed to use this space to move I/O data to and from the initiator.
Many implementations use hardware to do the mapping between the FireWire "Physical Memory Space" and device physical memory.
Among these, are those used by PCs and Macs, especially those using OHCI.
In this case, the operating system is not involved in the transfer.
This allows for high speed transfers with a low latency and avoids that the data is copied around unnecessarily.
It can however be a security risk if devices that are not trusted are connected to the bus.
Installations where security is a concern will therefore either use newer hardware, which use virtual memory to map the Firewire Physical memory space, or disable the mapping the OHCI does.
They might also disable the whole Firewire subsystem, or not provide Firewire at all.
This feature can also be useful, for example to debug a machine where the operating system has crashed.
Some systems can use it to provide a remote console.
On FreeBSD, the dcons driver provides both, using gdb as debugger.
Under Linux, firescope and fireproxy exist.

De facto is a phrase from the Latin language that means "in fact" or "in practice".
It is often used in contrast to de jure (which means "by law") when talking about law, governance, or technique.
When talking about law, "de jure" is used to describe what the law says, and "de facto" is used to describe what actually happens.
De facto is sometimes also used when there is no appropriate law or standard, but a common practice, that may not necessarily be widely accepted, exists.
For example, the de jure name of Bill Clinton is William Jefferson Clinton.
This is his name according to official records.
His de facto name is Bill Clinton because this is what he is usually called.
A  man who considers himself married and manages the household as his main occupation and whose spouse/partner usually earns the family income.

Port Dover is a small fishing town in Ontario, Canada.
During Friday the 13th, motorcycle fans dominate the town.
There is also the famous Arbor Restaurant stand in the southern part of town where Cherry Glows are served instead of soft drinks and the bees frequent the outdoor place as much as the local customers and tourists do.
There was a public high school in the town where students aged 14 to 21 years of age study to earn their Ontario High School Diploma; it closed at the end of the 2013-14 school year.
Port Dover is also the home to Ms. Carrie Sinkowski, a leader for rural equality, and a former candidate for the Canadian House of Commons.
Live theatre is also done here as well as a miniature golf course, a beach, and a thriving seaport just to name a few attractions that Port Dover has to offer.
The town is dominated with little shops, with very few franchised businesses in the town; which sells irregular consumer items like British merchandise, local souvenirs and T-shirts that appeal to young tourists.
Notable exceptions include Tim Hortons and Giant Tiger department store.
On Friday the 13th, motorcycle people come to town in order to drink beer.
However, they must be at least 19 years of age to perform this activity.
While some violence has resulted in previous years, the 2007 running of the PD13 event was peaceful.
Julius Kambarage Nyerere (April 13, 1922 - October 14, 1999), also known as Mwalimu (teacher), was President of Tanzania from 1964 to 1985.
He was born in Butiama, Tanganyika.
Nyerere led Tanganyika to independence from the United Kingdom in 1961.
He became the new country's first Prime Minister.
The country became a republic in 1962.
Nyerere was the country's first president.
In 1964, Tanganyika united politically with Zanzibar and was renamed Tanzania.
Nyerere was unopposed as the first president of the new country.
Nyerere used political repression against opponents.
His attempt at using his socialist ideas of Ujamaa failed.
This made Tanzania very poor and caused widespread starvation.
He led the overthrow of Idi Amin's regime in Uganda.

The Interahamwe (pronounced Een-tair-ah-hahm-way, with the 't' pronounced as an 'h') was the main mob army that started the Rwandan Genocide in 1994.
In this mass murder, about one million Hutu and Tutsi people were killed.
About a half an hour after the President of Rwanda, Juvénal Habyarimana, was killed on the night of April 6, 1994, Interahamwe roadblocks were put up all over the city of Kigali, the capital of Rwanda.
The violence that followed would last about 100 days.
This resulted in at least 500,000 deaths, but some say even up to 800,000-1,000,000 deaths.

Democratic Kampuchea was the official name of Cambodia/Kampuchea from 1976 to January 1979, during the Khmer Rouge Years, though the international community recognized it for ten more years.
Its leader was Pol Pot, and its national anthem (song) was Dap Prampi Mesa Chokchey.
It was succeeded by the People's Republic of Kampuchea upon the Vietnamese invasion in 1979.
While Democratic Kampuchea existed, about 20% of its population died either because of starvation, brutality, or execution.
The four-year period saw the deaths of approximately two million Cambodians through the combined result of political executions, starvation, and forced labour.
Due to the large numbers, the deaths during the rule of the Khmer Rouge are often considered a genocide, and commonly known as the Cambodian Holocaust or Cambodian Genocide.

A pie is a baked  food that is made from pastry crust with or without a pastry top.
The common filling of a pie is either savoury (with meat and/or vegetables) or gravy.
Pies often have a round or oval shape.
It originated in the United Kingdom.
A pie is cooked beforehand: this is the main idea.
It can be cooked days before it is eaten.
The crust keeps it in good condition if the pie is kept in a cool place.
The pie can be eaten warm or cold.
"filled", where a dish is covered by a pastry crust and the filling is placed on top of that,
"top-crust," where the filling is placed in a dish and covered with a pastry/potato mash top, or
"two-crust," with the filling completely enclosed in the pastry shell.
Pies are baked with a shell or crust, which is usually made of pastry.
The filling may be fruit, meat, fish, vegetables, cheeses, creams, chocolate, custards, nuts, or other sweet or savoury ingredients.
Savoury pies
This list is not meant to be complete.
Bacon and egg pie

Regional variations
There are many different kinds of pie.
People from different countries often have their own different type of pie.
Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand
Meat pies with fillings such as steak and cheese, steak and kidney, minced beef or chicken and mushroom are popular in the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand as take-away snacks.
They are also served with chips as an alternative to fish and chips at British chip shops.
A "Wigan kebab" is a pie, put between halves of a flour-covered bap (bun).
This is called a barm cake.
The combination of pie and mash is associated with London.
Shepherd's pie (which does not involve pastry) is a favourite with people in Britain.
Most meat pies are served hot.
Pork pies usually have a very high fat content and may be served cold.
These meat pies contain beef and gravy in a shortcrust piecase, often with a flaky top.
Many bakeries and specialty shops sell gourmet pies.
