Karl Georg Büchner (17 October 1813 – 19 February 1837) was a German dramatist and writer of prose.
He was the brother of physician and philosopher Ludwig Büchner.
Many people think that he might have become as important as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Friedrich Schiller if he had lived longer.
He was the son of a doctor and born in Goddelau near Darmstadt, Hesse-Darmstadt.
Büchner went to a secondary school that focused on Latin, Greek and on modern languages (including French, Italian and English).
But he was mainly interested in science and when he went to university he studied medicine in Strasbourg.
In 1828 he became interested in politics and joined a group which later on probably became the Gießen and Darmstadt section of the "Gesellschaft für Menschenrechte" (Society for Human Rights).
In Strasbourg, he studied not only medicine but French literature and political thought as well.
While Büchner continued his studies in Gießen he started a secret society which wanted revolutionary change.
With the help of the Protestant theologian Friedrich Ludwig Weidig he published the leaflet Der Hessische Landbote, a revolutionary text that criticized social problems in the Grand Duchy of Hesse.
The authorities charged them with treason and issued a warrant of apprehension.
While Weidig was arrested, tortured and died imprisoned in Darmstadt, Büchner fled across the border to Strasbourg where he wrote most of his literary work and translated two plays by Victor Hugo, Lucrèce Borgia and Marie Tudor.
Two years later, his dissertation, "Mémoire sur le Système Nerveux du Barbeaux (Cyprinus barbus L.)" was published in Paris and Strasbourg.
The ideas of François-Noël Babeuf and Claude Henri de Saint-Simon had an important influence on his work.
In October 1836 he got a job at the University of Zürich as a lecturer in anatomy and went back to Zürich where he spent his final months writing and teaching until he died of typhus at the age of twenty-three.
In 1835, his first play, Dantons Tod (Danton's Death), about the French revolution, was published, followed by Lenz.
It is a novella based on the life of the Sturm und Drang poet Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz.
In 1836 his second play, Leonce and Lena he describes the nobility.
His unfinished and most famous play, Woyzeck, was the first literary work in German whose main characters were members of the working class.
Published after Büchner's death, it became the basis for Alban Berg's opera Wozzeck which was first performed in 1925.
By the 1870s, Büchner was nearly forgotten in Germany when Karl Emil Franzos edited his works; these later became a major influence on naturalism and expressionism.
Arnold Zweig described Lenz, Büchner's only work of prose, as the "beginning of modern European prose".

Büchner was born at Darmstadt, Germany, on 29 March 1824.
From 1842 to 1848 he studied physics, chemistry, botany, mineralogy, philosophy and medicine at the University of Giessen.
In 1852 he became lecturer in medicine at the University of Tübingen, where he published his great work Kraft und Stoff: Empirisch-naturphilosophische Studien (Force and Matter: Empiricophilosophical Studies, 1855).
In this work, he sought to demonstrate the indestructibility of matter and force.
The extreme materialism of this work excited so much opposition that he was compelled to give up his post at Tübingen.
He retired to Darmstadt, where he practiced as a physician and contributed regularly to pathological and physiological magazines.
Some brief excerpts from Büchner's Force and Matter
A goitre or goiter (Latin: struma), also called a bronchocele, is a swelling in the neck (just below Adam's apple or larynx).
It happens when the thyroid gland gets larger (usually because the body is not getting enough iodine).
A diffuse goitre is a goitre that has spread through all of the thyroid.
A diffuse goitre can be a "simple goitre" or a "multi nodular goitre."
Toxic goiter is a goitre with hyperthyroidism.
These most commonly caused by Graves disease, but they can also be caused by inflammation or a multinodular goitre.
Any other type of goitre is called a non-toxic goitre.
These may be caused by lithium, some kinds of autoimmune diseases, or other problems.
People with non-toxic goiters have low thyroid levels (hypothyroidism) or normal thyroid levels.
Iodine deficiency (not having enough iodine in the body)
Congenital hypothyroidism (hypothyroidism that babies have when they are born, caused by errors in the way the body makes thyroid hormone)
Thyroiditis (inflammation of the thyroid gland)
Side effects of certain medications
Famous goitre sufferers
Within two years of each other, President George H. W. Bush and his wife Barbara Bush both were diagnosed with Graves disease and larger-than-normal thyroid glands.
President Bush's disease caused hyperthyroidism and cardiac dysrhythmia (irregular heart rate).

A stroke is an illness in which part of the brain loses its blood supply.
This can happen if an artery that feeds blood to the brain gets clogged, or if it tears and leaks.
A stroke is when there is a lack of blood flow to the brain.
There are two types of strokes.
One is when there is a blood clot blocking the artery.
The other type of stroke is when a blood vessel bursts and there is blood moving around freely in the brain.
A stroke is the rapid loss of brain function(s) due to disturbance in the blood supply to the brain.
This can happen because of ischemia (lack of blood flow) caused by blockage (thrombosis, arterial embolism), or a haemorrhage (leakage of blood).
As a result, the affected area of the brain cannot work properly.
Symptoms might include: hemiplegia (an inability to move one or more limbs on one side of the body), aphasia (inability to understand or use language), or an inability to see one side of the visual field.
A stroke is a medical emergency.
It can cause permanent damage.
If it is not quickly treated, it may lead to death.
It is the third most common cause of death and the most common cause of disability for adults in the United States and Europe.
Strokes happen on both the left and right side of the brain.
When a stroke happens on the left side of someone’s brain, it affects the right side of the body.
It can also cause problems with the patient’s speech and language.
If a stroke affects the right side of the brain, it affects the left side of the body.
It also changes patient’s spatial (relating to space) perceptions.
Getting a stroke on the right side of the brain can also cause people to not acknowledge their illness.
Patients behave impulsively and neglect the side of their body.
Factors that increase the risk of a stroke include old age, high blood pressure, a previous stroke, diabetes, high cholesterol, smoking, atrial fibrillation, migraine with aura, and thrombophilia (a tendency to thrombosis).
Of those factors, the most easy to fix are high blood pressure and smoking.
How are strokes identified?
Pre-hospital
The Cincinnati Prehospital Stroke Scale was designed to help "pre-hospital" medical professionals (like EMTs) identify a possible stroke before the patient gets to the hospital.
It tests three basic signs.
If any of these signs are not normal, the patient may be having a stroke and should be transported to a hospital as soon as possible.
Facial droop: Have the person smile or show his or her teeth.
Normal: Both sides of face move equally
Abnormal: One side of face does not move as well as the other (or at all); part of the face looks like it is drooping
Arm drift:  Have the person close his or her eyes and hold his or her arms straight out for about 10 seconds.
Normal: Both arms move equally or not at all
Abnormal: One arm does not move, or one arm drifts down compared with the other side
Speech:  Have the person say, "You can't teach an old dog new tricks," or some other simple, familiar saying.
Normal: Patient uses correct words with no slurring
Abnormal: Patient's speech is slurred, patient uses incorrect words, or is unable to speak
About 72% of patients who cannot do one of these three tasks normally are having an ischemic stroke.
More than 85% of patients who cannot do all three tasks are having an acute stroke.
"Spot a stroke"
The 'spot a stroke' campaign, created by the American Heart Association and the American Stroke Association, teaches everyday people how to recognize a stroke.
It teaches the basic tests from the Cincinnati Stroke Scale, using the acronym FAST:
F: Face - Facial Droop.
Is one side of the face drooping or numb?
Ask the person to smile.
Is the person's smile uneven?
A: Arm - Arm Weakness.
Is one arm weak or numb?
Ask the person to raise both arms.
Does one arm drift downward?
S: Speech - Speech Difficulty.
Is speech slurred?
Is the person unable to speak or hard to understand?
Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence, like "The sky is blue."
Is the sentence repeated correctly?
T: Time - Time to Call 911.
If someone shows any of these symptoms, even if the symptoms go away, it is time to call 9-1-1.
In the hospital
Strokes can kill.
To prevent a stroke, doctors advise people to:
Control blood pressure
Exercise at least once a week
Stay at a healthy weight
Do not drink too much
Get regular checkups
795,000 people in the United States get a stroke each year
One out of four people who have a stroke die (137,000 deaths from stroke per year)
Currently, 3 million people in the US have disabilities from strokes
In US, strokes cost $57.9 billion per year (damage and loss of work)
⅔ of stroke happen in people 65 and up
Strokes affect men more than women
Women more likely to die from stroke than men
Strokes are more common in African Americans
Strokes are more likely to be fatal in African Americans
Stroke rates in older adults are declining but rates in younger people are rising (scientists think that it’s related to obesity)
Physical therapy can help patients
Some people are in a wheelchair after getting a stroke
10% of survivors suffer no long term disabilities
10% of survivors suffer from so many disabilities that they have to stay in 24 hour care

The Wheel of Fortune, or Rota Fortunae, is a concept in medieval and ancient philosophy and means the unpredictable nature of Fate.
The wheel belongs to the goddess Fortuna, who spins it at random, changing the positions of those on the wheel - some suffer great misfortune, others gain windfalls.
The concept developed in antiquity; it was used by Cicero.
The Wheel originally belonged to the Roman goddess Fortuna, whose name seems to derive from Vortumna, "she who revolves the year".
Fortuna eventually became Christianized: the Roman philosopher Boethius (d. 524) was a major source for the medieval view of the Wheel, writing about it in hisConsolatio Philosophiae.
The Wheel of Fortune motif appears significantly in the Carmina Burana (or Burana Codex), over one thousand poems and songs — often profane in content — written by students and clergy in the early 13th century.
Excerpts from two of the collection's better known poems, "Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi (Fortune, Empress of the World)" and "Fortune Plango Vulnera (I Bemoan the Wounds of Fortune)," read:The concept developed in antiquity; it was used by Cicero.
Fortuna eventually became Christianized: the Roman philosopher Boethius (d. 524) was a major source for the medieval view of the Wheel, writing about it in hisConsolatio Philosophiae.vv
Fortune rota volvitur;
Fate - monstrous
The wheel of Fortune turns;
I go down, demeaned;
another is raised up;
far too high up
sits the king at the summit -
let him fear ruin!
for under the axis is written
Queen Hecuba.
Later usage
William Shakespeare in Hamlet wrote of the "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune" and, of fortune personified, to "break all the spokes and fellies from her wheel."
And in Henry V, Act 3 Scene VI, are the lines:
Selections from the Carmina Burana, including the two poems quoted above, were set to new music by twentieth-century classical composer Carl Orff, whose bombastic and well-known "O Fortuna" is based on the poem Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi.
Fortuna does occasionally turn up in modern literature.
She is often associated with gamblers, and dice could also be said to have replaced the Wheel as the primary metaphor for uncertain fortune.

Fortuna was also used by a character in the novel "Confederacy of Dunces";the main character, Ignatus J. Reilly, makes many references to "Fortuna's wheel" and also Boethius's works.
Raster graphics (or bitmap graphics) is one of two kinds of computer graphics.
With raster graphics, images are modeled as big collections of pixels.
Usually they form an image shaped like a rectangle.
Each pixel holds something, like color or transparency.
Raster images are used very often.
Computer screens are made of a raster of points.
Vector graphic images are rasterised that way.
Images that are difficult to make as a vector, like photographs, are often made in the form of a raster image.
Many printers today use computer languages like Postscript or PCL.
These languages are based on vectorized images, most of the time.
To be printed, these images need to be translated into raster graphics first.
This is done by a part called a Raster Image Processor.
Most modern printers have those processors inside the printer.
Some printers use a special piece of software on the computer to do that job.
Postscript is a programming language.
It was developed by Adobe, in 1984.
It is a standard used by many computer printers.
There are three different versions of it, Postscript Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3.
The Portable Document Format is another standard, also from Adobe.
It is better adapted to printing.
Many things computer languages have, have been dropped to develop PDF.

The other kind of chestnut is called sweet chestnut.
It is not related to this tree
A horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum), also known as the horse-chestnut, buckeye, conker tree, or Spanish chestnut, is a large deciduous tree.
It is native to southern Europe, in the Balkans.
It is often grown in temperate climates.
It can grow up to 36 metres tall.
The name of the tree (and the whole genus of similar trees) is because its fruit, the conker, was used to treat horses, against cough and some parasite worms.
Horse chestnuts are not edible for humans.
The trees are not closely related to sweet chestnuts.
Francisco Pizarro González, Marqués de los Atabillos (1471– June 26, 1541) was a Spanish conquistador.
Today, he is known as the conqueror of the Inca Empire.
He also founded Lima, La Ciudad de los Reyes, capital of Peru.
Pizarro was born in Trujillo, Extremadura, Spain.
He was an illegitimate son of Gonzalo Pizarro Rodríguez de Aguilar (senior) who as colonel of infantry served in the Italian campaigns under Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba, and in Navarre, with some distinction.
His mother was Francisca González Mateos, a woman of slender means from Trujillo.
Through his father, Francisco was second cousin to Hernán Cortés, the famed conquistador of Mexico.
In 1502, Pizarro traveled to the New World where he joined in several expeditions to see the Pacific Ocean.
In 1513 Pizarro joined the expedition of Vasco Núñez de Balboa across the Isthmus of Panama to become one of the first Europeans to see the Pacific Ocean.
In 1524, after hearing stories about the exploration of Peru, he joined Diego de Almagro and Hernando de Soto.
Together, they agreed to travel to Peru and look for gold.
The expedition was a disaster, but Pizarro made connections with the Inca people.
In 1528 he returned to Spain, where the king allowed him to conquer the new land for Spain.
Pizarro himself was to be named governor of Peru.
In 1531 he landed in Peru again, leading fewer than 300 soldiers.
The country was devastated by a recent civil war between Atahualpa and Huascar, the sons of the dead emperor.
In November 1532, Pizarro met Atahualpa in the city of Cajamarca and managed to capture him, even though the Inca was protected by thousands of soldiers.
The weapons of the Spaniards proved superior.
In 1533, after paying a huge ransom for his release, Atahualpa requested to be let free but Pizarro killed him anyway.
He then continued south into Peru and captured the capital of Cuzco.
In 1535, Pizarro founded a new capital named La Ciudad de los Reyes, today known as Lima.
However, some Spaniards had not been part of the capture of the Inca and therefore had not been paid any gold.
Led by Almagro, the Almagristas, Almagro's men, marched south into present-day Chile to find new riches, while Pizarro stayed in Peru.
The Inca were treated very poorly and their riches stolen by the Spaniards, who built huge estates or brought gold back to Spain.
However, the Spaniards had became so weakened that when Almagro returned, he took power and expelled Pizarro to the north.
Pizarro returned with an army in 1538 and defeated Almagro.
Almagro was executed in the plaza of Cuzco and Pizarro was again sole ruler.
However, Almagro had a son who swore revenge, and in 1541, Pizarro was killed in his palace in Lima by a number of men following Diego Almagro the younger.
He was himself caught and executed the following year, so was the last brother of Pizarro struggling for power in Peru, in 1548.
Then the Spanish king took personal control over the country by a personal envoy, the Viceroy.

Bingo or Housie is a game where people try to match numbers drawn at random with numbers on a card.
When someone does this, they call "BINGO!"
or "HOUSE!"
very loud so everyone playing can hear.
The game was invented in Italy in the 1500s.
The game slowly moved to other countries like France, Great Britain, and other parts of Europe.
Bingo originates from the Italian lottery, Il Gioco del Lotto d'Italia.
In Paris the game was known as Le Lotto, played by the rich part of French society.
Since then the game become popular all over the world and today Charitable Bingo in US is worth $3 Billion.
In the United Kingdom, the game is played by marking a card.
The card has 27 squares in 3 rows of 9.
15 squares have a numbers between 1 and 90.
5 numbers on each row.
The winner is the first player to mark the 5 numbers in one line or all fifteen numbers on the card.
Bingo cards are normally printed in strips of six.
A strip of six cards has every number between 1 and 90.
Many people buy only 4 cards, so that the other two cards were usually wasted.
Edward Thompson and Company, the largest printer of bingo tickets in the UK found a way to print strips of 12 so that there would be less waste, and so that any 6 tickets had all of the numbers 1 to 90.
In the UK, all money used to buy the bingo ticket must be given back in prize money.
The owner of a bingo club is allowed to charge an entrance fee and also a "participation fee" (a fee to be allowed to take part in the bingo game).
In the United States, the game is played by a group of people.
All of the group has cards and tokens.
When a number is called that you have on your card, you place a token on that spot.
The first person to make a line of 5 tokens up or down, across, or diagonally wins the game.
This game is played for prizes usually.

Hurling (in Irish, iománaíocht or iomáint) is an Irish outdoor team sport similar to hockey, played by two teams of 15 people.
The ball can be caught in the hand and carried for not more than four steps, struck in the air, or struck on the ground with the stick.
It can be kicked or slapped with an open hand (the hand pass) for short-range passing.
A player who wants to carry the ball for more than three steps has to bounce or balance the ball on the end of the stick, and the ball can only be handled twice while in his possession.
In a team there are 15 players, or "hurlers."
The hurley or hurl (hurl), or camán, is generally 70–100 cm (32–36 inches) in length
The goalkeeper's hurley usually has a bás (the flattened, curved end) twice the size of other players' hurleys to provide some advantage against the fast moving sliotar.
The ball, known as a sliotar has a cork center and a leather cover; it is between 23 and 25 cm in circumference, and weighs between 100 and 130 g
A good strike with a hurley can propel the ball up to 150 km/h (93 mph) in speed and 100 m (305 ft) in distance.
A ball hit over the bar is worth one point.
A ball that is hit under the bar is worth 3 points which is called a goal.
Hurling is played on a pitch approximately 137m long and 82m wide The goals at each end of the field are formed by two posts, which are usually 6 m high, set 6.4 m apart, and connected 2.44 m above the ground by a crossbar.
A net extending in back of the goal is attached to the crossbar and lower goal posts.

The next perfect number is 28.
In Roman numerals, it is VI.
The number four is a number and a numeral.
It comes after the number three, and before the number five.
In Roman numerals, it is IV.
In mathematics, the number four is an even number and the smallest composite number.
Four is also the second square number after one.
A small minority of people have four fingers and four toes, on each hand and foot, respectively.
This proves difficult to count on your fingers.
Four squared is 16, and four doubled is 8.
The number seven is a natural number that comes after six and before eight.
In Roman numerals, it is VII.
Divisibility Rule
To test if an integer is divisible by 7 or not,
Take off the last digit and multiply it by 2.
Subtract the root number from the product .
Repeat the second step again and again until it is clearly that the number is divisible by 7 or not.
5×2=10, 91878-10=91868
8×2=16, 9186-16=9170
0×2=0, 917-0=917
7×2=14, 91-14=77
Pretend  is the root number and  is the last digit.
Then  is the whole number.
If the whole number () is divisible by 7,  is also a multiple of 7.
And  also divide 7.
That proves  is divisible seven, since 3 and 6 are both multiples of 3.
So  is also divisible by 7.

Donatello (born Donato di Niccolò di Betto Bardi, c. 1386 – 13 December 1466) was an Italian sculptor during the Renaissance.
He lived in Florence.
He worked in stone, bronze, wood, clay, and wax  with several assistants.
His reputation as a great artist was stated by Vasari, and has always stood well.
He worked in Rome, Sienna and Padua as well as Florence, and worked for the Church, for Cosimo de' Medici, and for various city authorities.
He was the son of Niccolo di Betto Bardi, and was born in Florence.
When Donatello was older, he studied with Filippo Brunelleschi the architect.
He also helped the sculptor Lorenzo Ghiberti to make statues for the Battistero di San Giovanni.
Donatello's work was inspired by ancient sculpture.
He was the first sculptor of his time to celebrate the human body, an idea that had died out after Greek and Roman times.
His life-size statue of David is his best-known work.
The David is the first known free-standing nude statue made since antiquity.
Much of his work was done for display in grand churches.
Between 1415 and 1426, he made five statues for the Florence Cathedral, also known as the Duomo.
Donatello was a realist: an artist whose sculpture showed the subjects as real people.
Naturalism and the showing of human feelings are his influences.

Sarah Bernhardt (; born Henriette-Rosine Bernard; 22 or 23 October 1844 – 26 March 1923) was a French stage actress, and has often been called "the most famous actress in the history of the world".
Bernhardt made her fame on the stages of Europe in the 1870s, and was soon working in Europe and the United States.
She developed a reputation as a serious actress, getting the nickname "The Divine Sarah."
She was born in Paris as Marie Henriette Bernardt, the daughter of Julie Bernardt and a Dutch father.
She added the letter "H" to her first and last name, and used the name of Edouard Bernardt, her mother's brother, as the name of her father.
This was probably done to hide the fact that her father was unknown.
Bernhardt's career started in 1862, when she was a student at the Comédie-Française.
She was not very successful there, and left to become a courtesan by 1865.
She became famous in Europe in the 1870s, and was soon in demand all over Europe and in New York.
She may have been the most famous actress of the 19th century.
She coached many young women in the art of acting, including Liane de Pougy.
In 1905, while performing in Rio de Janeiro, Bernhardt hurt her right knee during the final scene when she jumped from a high wall.
The leg never healed properly, showing signs of bruising.
By 1915, gangrene had set in and her entire right leg was amputated, meaning she was in a wheelchair for several months.
Nonetheless, she continued her career.
She carried out a successful tour of America in 1915, and died on returning to France.
On 26 March 1923, Bernhardt died of uremia following kidney failure.
She is buried in Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris.

Rudd was Prime Minister at the beginning of the Global Financial Crisis.
His government, with Wayne Swan as treasurer, spent a lot of money to try and keep the economy going.

His government was seen as being unable to cope with and this started to affect Rudd's popularity.
Rudd planned a new tax on the huge profits being made mining companies in Australia.
These companies and their leaders started a huge advertising campaign against the Labor government.
He also decided to delay his election promises to do something about Global Warming.
His leadership style was unpopular with many members of the Labor Party.
members of parliament felt that they were not able to take part in making important decisions.

A hurley(Irish: Camán), also known as a ‘hurl’, is a wooden stick measuring between 70 and 100 cm (26 to 40 inches) long with a flattened, curved end (called the bas), used to hit a sliotar (leather ball) in the Irish sport of hurling.
It is also used in camogie, the female equivalent, and there often called a camogie stick.
No matter how well crafted the hurley is, a hurler may well expect to use several hurleys over the course of the hurling season.
The hurleys often break if two collide in the course of a game, or occasionally they break off on the other players (arms, legs, etc.).
Two hurleys colliding is colloquially known as "the clash of the ash."
Throwing the hurley (e.g. to block a ball going high over one's head) is illegal, but camogie players may drop it to make a handpass.
A sliotar (or sliothar) is a hard solid sphere slightly larger than a tennis ball, consisting of a cork core covered by two pieces of leather stitched together.
Sometimes called a "puck" or "hurling ball", it resembles an American baseball with more pronounced stitching.
It is used in the Gaelic games of hurling, camogie, rounders and shinty.

Camogie (in Irish, camógaíocht) is an Irish team sport, organised by the Camogie Association of Ireland, the women's variant of hurling.
The rules are almost identical to hurling with a few exceptions.
One is that goalkeepers wear the same colours as outfield players and a player in camogie can handpass a score, which is not allowed in the men's game.
All games last 60 minutes (senior inter-county hurling games last 70), and dropping the camogie stick to handpass the ball is allowed.
The All-Ireland Final is held every year in Croke Park during September, usually the week between the hurling final and Gaelic football final.
There are two main competitions; the National League which is staged during the winter-spring months and is used as a warm-up to the All-Ireland Championships during the summer.
The name "camogie"
Camogie/hurling is unique in that it uses a different name for the version played by men and women.
The reason is complicated: men play using a curved stick called in Irish a camán.
Women would use a shorter stick, called by the diminutive form camóg.
The suffix -aíocht was added to both words to give names for the sports: camánaíocht (which became iománaíocht) and camógaíocht.
When the Gaelic Athletic Association was founded in 1884 the English-origin name "hurling" was given to the men's game.
When an organisation for women was set up in 1904, it was decided to Anglicise the Irish name camógaíocht to camogie.

Rounders  is a sport which originated in Great Britain and Ireland.
The game is regulated by the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) in Ireland and the National Rounders Association (NRA) in the UK.
Both have different, although broadly similar, game-play and culture.
Competitions are held between teams from both traditions, often with one version being played in the morning and the other being played in the afternoon.
Game-play centers around innings where teams act at turns being batters and fielders.
A maximum of nine players are allowed to play in fielding positions at one time.
Points ("rounders") are scored by the batting team by completing a circuit around the field through four bases/posts without being put 'out' - for example, by a ball they batted being 'caught-out' or touching a tagged base/post.
Although it is generally considered a school game, rounders is played at international level as well.
Currently, teams from Canada, England, Ireland, the Isle of Man, Scotland and Wales compete against each other.
Some theories on the origin of baseball claim that baseball is based on rounders.
Rounders is a sport played with a bat and ball when the ball is thrown to you the ball is meant to be hit with the bat.

Crickets, family Gryllidae (also known as true crickets), are insects somewhat related to grasshoppers and more closely related to katydids or bush crickets (family Tettigoniidae).
They have somewhat flattened bodies and long antennae.
There are about 900 species of crickets.
They tend to be nocturnal and are often confused with grasshoppers because they have a similar body structure including jumping hind legs.
Cricket chirping
Crickets are known for their chirp (which only male crickets can do; male wings have ridges or "teeth" that act like a "comb and file" instrument).
The left forewing has a thick rib (a modified vein) which bears 50 to 300 "teeth".
The chirp is made by raising their left forewing to a 45 degree angle and rubbing it against the upper hind edge of the right forewing, which has a thick scraper (Berenbaum 1995).
This sound producing action is called "stridulation" and the song is species-specific.
There are two types of cricket songs: a calling song and a courting song.
The calling song attracts females and repels other males, and is fairly loud.
Jurassic chirp reconstructed
Night-time in the Jurassic included the sound of chirping bush crickets.
This is according to scientists who have reconstructed the song of a cricket that chirped 165 million years ago. "
A remarkably complete fossil of the prehistoric insect enabled the team to see the structures in its wings that rubbed together to make the sound".

Rounders is a 1998 movie about the underground world of high-stakes poker.
The movie was directed by John Dahl and starred Matt Damon and Edward Norton.
It follows two friends who need to quickly earn enough cash playing poker to pay off a huge debt.
The term “rounder” refers to a person whose sole means of earning a living is by playing cards.
The movie opened to mixed reviews and only made a modest amount of money.
However, with the growing popularity of Texas hold 'em and other poker games, Rounders has become a cult hit.

The Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) (Irish: Cumann Lúthchleas Gael) is an organisation which is mostly focused on promoting Gaelic Games - traditional Irish sports, such as hurling, camogie, Gaelic football, handball, and rounders.
The organisation also promotes Irish music and dance, and the Irish language.
It is the largest and most popular organisation in Ireland with some 800,000 members out of the island's population of almost 6 million.
Gaelic football is a contact sport that combines the skills of soccer, basketball, and some of the skills of volleyball in a high-scoring game in which players punch or kick the ball over the crossbar  for one point, or kick the ball into a  net on the bottom for three points.
The game also has similarities with Australian Rules Football (see below).
Hurling is a stick-and-ball game that combines many of the skills of field hockey, lacrosse, and baseball but pre-dates all three.
Players can catch the ball and use a hurley (Irish: camán) to hit a ball (sliotar) between the goalposts using the same scoring system as in Gaelic football and on the same size of field.
It is not to be confused with the Scottish game of shinty.

Gaelic games are the traditional sports played in Ireland.
The two main Gaelic games are Gaelic football and hurling.
Both are organised by the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA).
Other games organised by the association include camogie, rounders, Gaelic handball.
During the late 19th century 21, Gaelic games in Ireland were dying out.
This decline was stopped by the GAA and the Irish national Gaelic Revival.
Today they are the most popular games in Ireland.
Gaelic football is the most popular of the gaelic games  and is played by teams of 15 on a rectangular grass pitch with H-shaped goals at each end.
The object is to score by driving the ball through the goals.
