World War II and after
Many novels came out of soldiers' and peoples' experiences during World War II.
These books were not only by European authors, but also by people around the world.
Japanese war novels
Just after the war ended, Sakaguchi Ango (坂口安吾) published a book called Idiocy (白痴) about the strange life in Japan after the bombing and losing the war.
There were many novels aout the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, including: Summer Flowers (夏の花) by Hara Tamiki  (原 民喜) in 1947 and Black Rain (黒い雨) by Ibuse Masuji (井伏鱒二).
There were also novels about being part of the kamikaze.
The 1949 book Last Friends (きけ、わだつみの声) was about a group of soldiers leaving for the front.
It was a best-seller.
Around 1970 another type of novel began to appear.
Ordinary people wrote about their experiences of battles and air raids.
Novels about the many different ways the war ended also began to appear and tell being left behind in China or becoming prisoners of the Soviet Union in Siberia.
Vietnam and after
The Palaeoproterozoic was the first era of the Proterozoic eon.
It came after the Archaean eon, and lasted from 2500 to 1600 million years ago (mya).
In the Palaeoproterozoic, there was a huge production of stromatolites by cyanobacteria.
The first unicellular eukaryote organisms also appeared in the fossil record.
Basic differences in Earth physics
Because the Earth was only half as old as now, there were some basic differences from today.
Heat in the Earth's interior was greater than today.
This was mainly due to the higher abundance of radioactive isotopes, which decay as time passes.
Temperatures at the surface were also higher, due to radiation from the Earth's interior, and due to a methane and carbon dioxide-based greenhouse atmosphere.
During the previous eon, the Archaean, the oceans were hot (55–85 °C).
This was only partly balanced by the fact that the Sun's radiation was lower at that time.
Paleontological evidence on the Earth's rotational history suggests that ~1.8 billion years ago, there were about 450 days in a year, implying 20 hour days.
Further back, the Earth day had about 17 hours, and there were 514±33 days per year.
The Earth–Moon distance for the earliest Palaeoproterozoic was 51.9±3.3 Earth radii (compared to 60.27 at present).
During the era climate changes were as severe as any in Earth history.
From a global high temperature at the start, there were three massive ice ages, with ice deep into the tropics.
Drop in methane
"The collapse of methane from formerly high levels in the Archaean atmosphere  probably plays a large role, not only the oxygenation history, but also the occurrence of Palaeoproterozoic ice ages.
The data point to 2.4–2.3 billion years ago as host to a ‘Great Oxidation Event’, during which Earth's surface environment changed profoundly and irreversibly".
The buildup of oxygen
Oxygen was produced by the cyanobacteria, but it was mostly used up by chemical sinks.
These were the unoxidized sulfur and iron.
Until roughly 2.3 billion years ago, oxygen was probably only 1% to 2% of its current level.p323
Banded iron formations, which provide most of the world's iron ore, were formed by the oxygen forming compounds with iron; most accumulation ceased after 1.9 billion years ago.
Red beds, which are colored by hematite, indicate an increase in atmospheric oxygen after 2 billion years ago; they are not found in older rocks.p324
There were three major ice ages, with ice deep into the tropics.
Undoubtedly, they happened as a result of reduced greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and the rise of oxygen production.
Meteorite strikes
There were major bolide impacts during the era, two of which caused the largest impact crators on Earth.
There are also three smaller (equal or more than 30 kilometers diameter) in the time zone of 3.0 to 1.2 billion years ago.
Origin of eukaryotes
The origin of the eukaryotic cell was a milestone in the evolution of life, since they include all complex cells and almost all multi-cellular organisms.
The timing of this series of events is hard to determine; Knoll suggests they developed approximately 1.6–2.1 billion years ago.
Some acritarchs are known from at least 1650 million years ago, and the possible alga Grypania has been found as far back as 2100 million years ago.
Nonna Valentinovna Grishayeva (born on July 21, 1971) is a Russian actress, comedienne, singer and television presenter.

the breakup of the Columbia supercontinent ~1,500 mya;
the assembly of the Rodinia supercontinent ~1,100 mya;
the evolution of sexual reproduction.
Evidence of a eukaryotic red algae, Bangiomorpha pubescens, has been identified from  ~1200 mya old rocks in the Hunting Formation (Somerset Island, Canada).
This is the oldest known sexually reproducing organism and therefore the earliest known complex multicellular organism.
Sir Sidney Robert Nolan  (; 22 April 191728 November 1992) is regarded as one of Australia's great artists.
He used many art forms including painting, drawing, printmaking, set design (for theatre), murals, spray painting and collage.
He created over 10,000 individual art works, considered a prolific, or large, number of works of art.
Nolan is famous for his set of 27 Ned Kelly paintings.
His friend, Sunday Reed, donated 25 of the paintings to the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra, where a special room has been built to display them.
In 2010 one of the Kelly paintings was given to the National Gallery of Victoria.
One of the Kelly paintings not owned by the museum was sold in March 2010 for AU$5.4 million.
This was the highest price ever paid for an Australian painting.
Nolan was born in Carlton, Victoria on 22 April 1917.
He attended Prahran Technical College and studied art at the National Gallery School in Melbourne.
In 1948 he moved to Sydney, New South Wales and then in 1953 he moved to London where he stayed until his death on 28 November 1992.

It affects the lungs, brain and skin.
It affects mainly people with a weakened immune system, such as people with HIV/AIDS, chronic lung disease, cancer or people who have had a transplant.
Brucellosis is a disease that is caused by bacteria in the Brucella genus.
It is also called Bang's disease, Crimean fever, Gibraltar fever, Malta fever, Maltese fever, Mediterranean fever, rock fever, and undulant fever.
It is a very contagious disease (can be spread very easily from one person to another.)
Brucellosis is a zoonosis, a disease that is spread from animals to humans.
Humans get the disease by drinking milk that is unsterilized, or by eating meat from sick animals.
Sometimes, but not very often, the disease can be spread from human to human.
The disease was first called "Malta fever."
British doctors in the military first discovered it in Malta during the Crimean War (1850s).
Dr. David Bruce was the first person to discover the bacteria that caused brucellosis.

Relapsing fever is an infection caused by some bacteria in the genus Borrelia.
It is sometimes called typhinia.
It is carried and spread by lice and ticks.
The word "relapse" means to come back.
The disease is called "relapsing fever" because the symptoms can go away and come back several times until the person is cured.
Murine Typhus is a disease spread by fleas.
It is also called endemic typhus.
It is a type of typhus.
Sometimes this disease is mistaken for a viral infection because the symptoms are similar.
Murine Typhus is treated with antibiotics.

The National Gallery of Victoria is an art gallery and museum in Melbourne, Australia.
Started in 1861, it is the oldest and the largest public art gallery in Australia.
The main gallery is located in St Kilda Road, at Southbank, with a branch gallery at Federation Square.
The St Kilda Road Gallery, designed
by Sir Roy Grounds, opened in 1968.
Since December 2003, NGV has operated across two sites – NGV International on St Kilda Road, redesigned by Mario Bellini, and The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia at Federation Square, designed by LAB Architecture Studio.
When the gallery opened, Victoria had been an independent colony for ten years.
After the Victorian gold rush, it was easily the richest part of Australia, and Melbourne the largest city.
Generous gifts from rich citizens, including the industrialist Alfred Felton, made it possible for the National Gallery to start buying large collections of overseas works from both old and modern masters.
It has over 65,000 works of art.
The National Gallery of Victoria Art School began in 1867.
It was the leading centre for art training in Australia until about 1910.
The School’s graduates, such as Sidney Nolan, went on to become some of Australia’s most significant artists.
The Argus was a morning daily newspaper in Melbourne which started in 1846 and closed in 1957.
It was a conservative newspaper for most of its history, but in 1949 became more left in its stories.
The newspaper was started by William Kerr, a journalist who had worked with the Sydney Gazette before moving to Melbourne in 1839 to work on John Pascoe Fawkner's Port Phillip Patriot.
The first edition was published on 2 June 1846.
The paper was known for its abuse and sarcasm and by 1853 Kerr lost ownership after a series of court actions.
It was then published under the name of Edward Wilson.
The paper was also linked to the weekly The Australasian which was to become The Australasian Post in 1946.
During the Great Depression in 1933 it launched the Melbourne Evening Star in competition with The Herald newspaper, but was closed in 1936.
In 1949 the paper was bought by the London based Daily Mirror newspaper group.
On 28 July 1952 the Melbourne Argus became the first newspaper in the world to publish colour photographs in a daily paper.
The paper had interests in radio and in 1956, the new medium of television broadcasting.
It was part of the group General Telecasters Victoria (GTV), and the GTV-9 television station.
In 1957 the paper was sold to the Herald and Weekly Times group, which had been under the management of Chief Executive Keith Murdoch (Rupert's father) until his death in 1952.
The Herald and Weekly Times group used the printing presses, but closed the Argus and sold off the broadcasting interests.
The last edition was on 19 January 1957.
The Argus Building
The Argus building, built in 1926 on the corner of La Trobe and Elizabeth streets, is classified by the National Trust and is on the Victorian Heritage Register of Heritage Victoria.
In 1991, an innovative office building was built next door and named The Argus Centre, an award winning building by Nonda Katsalidis.
In 2004 La Trobe University bought the site of the old Argus building with the intention to redevelop and house legal and business schools in the building, as well as a ground floor shopping precinct.

Newton's Law of Cooling describes how the temperature of an object changes.
It states that the rate of change of its temperature depends on how much hotter it is than its surroundings.
Since it includes both temperature and the time derivative of temperature, is a first-order differential equation.
It was made by physicist Sir Isaac Newton.
The law requires that the Heat transfer coefficient is independent of the temperature difference between the object and its surroundings.
This is the case in some situations, but not in others.
The best example is the simple mechanics used in an air conditioning unit.

Louis Jordan (*July 8, 1908 in Brinkley,Arkansas; † February 4, 1975 in Los Angeles, California) was an American jazz,blues and rhythm & blues musician, songwriter and bandleader.
He was most successful in the 1940s in the black music market but he reached also white audiences and recorded several cross over hits in the Pop charts.
Louis Jordan was born in Brinkley,Arkansas.
His mother, Addie, died in his younger years.
His father, James Aron Jordan, was a music teacher and bandleader for the Brinkley Brass Band.
From him he got his musical education.
He started with the clarinet but also played piano very well.
But the alto saxophon became his main instrument.
He started his professionel career in the bands of his father.
He went north to Philadelphia and later to New York, where he started in 1932 with the band of Clarence Williams.
In late 1936 he was invited to join the important Savoy Ballroom orchestra led by drummer Chick Webb.
Webb was an excellent musician but no great showman, so Jordan took over the announcements when he started singing for the band.
Later the young Ella Fitzgerald joined Webbs band and she often sang duets with Jordan.
The following years she recorded some hit singles with Jordan.
1938 Jordan was fired by Webb and he began to form an own band which made her first recordings for Decca in December 1938.
The original lineup of the sextet was Jordan (saxes, vocals), Courtney Williams (trumpet), Lem Johnson (tenor sax), Clarence Johnson (piano), Charlie Drayton (bass) and Walter Martin (drums).
The Decca recordings were from "The Elks Rendezvous Band" but Jordan changed the name to "Tympany Five" after the brand of Martins drums.
The most successful time of the band was between 1942 and 1950.
In this period they had 18 #1-hits in the Rhythm and Blues chart of Billboard magazine.
Some of the hits like Caldonia, Let the good times roll, Saturday Night Fish Fry or  Choo Choo Ch'Boogie are evergreens.
Under his duet partners were Bing Crosby,Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong.
In the 1950s his singles did not sell very well so he left Decca.
He signed with different other record companies but was not as successful as in the 1940s.
He died in 1975 in Los Angeles and is buried in St. Louis, Missouri.
In 2004, Rolling Stone Magazine ranked him #59 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.
He was introduced to the Rock and Roll Hall of fame.
There he is described as “the Father of Rhythm & Blues” and “the Grandfather of Rock ‘n’ Roll.”
As jump blues artist he paved the way for  Roy Brown, Wynonie Harris, Tiny Bradshaw and others.
In his music one can hear the prototype of Rock and Roll.
He influenced Bill Haley & His Comets, whose producer, Milt Gabler, had also worked with Jordan.
The Broadway show, Five Guys Named Moe, was devoted to Jordan's music and this title is given to both soundtrack (tribute) and original music collections.
The show was played over 400 times on Broadway.
Blues Guitarist B. B. King recorded an album called Let The Good Times Roll-The Music of Louis Jordan, as well as the songs "Let the Good Times Roll" and "Caldonia".
Rock singer Joe Jackson recorded Jumpin' Jive in 1981 which featured several songs by Jordan.
Let The Good Times Roll, a Jordan biography, was written by British jazz historian John Chilton.
The music of Louis Jordan is still  available in many different collections.
To learn more about his music one can buy Bear Familys nine-CD collection of Jordan's work (Let the Good Times Roll: the Complete Decca Recordings 1938-1954).
Another collection is Proper Records low priced four-CD, 102-track compilation (Jivin' With Jordan) that includes all of Jordan's important songs from his Decca years.

Thien Duong Cave, Paradise Cave, is a cave in Phong Nha-Ke Bang, Quảng Bình Province, Vietnam, 450 km south of Hanoi.
The cave is 31km long, the longest cave in Asia.
It was found by a local man in 2005, British scientists explored the whole cave from 2005—2010.
The access road to the cave was built and finished in September 2010.
Tourists can go 1km into the cave.
Cleaner fish are fish that provide a service to other fish species by removing dead skin and ectoparasites.
This is an example of mutualism, an ecological interaction that benefits both parties.
A wide variety of fishes show cleaning behaviors.
They include wrasse, cichlids, catfish, and gobies, as well as by a number of different species of cleaner shrimp.
There is also at least one predatory mimic, the sabre-toothed blenny.
It mimics cleaner fish but in fact bites off pieces of fin.
A blenny is a member of a large suborder of teleost fish called the Blennioidei.
The suborder has about 833 species in 130 genera.
Blennies are generally small fish.
They have long bodies (some almost eel-like), and relatively large eyes and mouths.
Their dorsal fins are continuous and long.
The pelvic fins have a single embedded spine, and are short and slender.
The blunt heads of blennies often have whisker-like structures called cirri.
As generally benthic fish, blennioids spend much of their time on or near the sea floor.
The wrasses are a family, the Labridae, of marine fish, many of which are brightly coloured.
The family is large and diverse, with over 600 species in 82 genera.
They are usually small fish, mostly less than  long, although the largest, the Humphead wrasse, can measure up to .
They are carnivores, feeding on a wide range of small invertebrates.
Many smaller wrasses follow the feeding trails of larger fish, eating invertebrates left by big fish.
Many species can be recognized by their thick lips.
The inside of these lips is curiously folded, which gave rise the German name of Lippfische.
The dorsal fin has 8–21 spines and 6–21 soft rays, usually running most of the length of the back.
Wrasse are sexually dimorphic.
Many species are capable of changing sex.
Juveniles are a mix of males and females (known as Initial Phase or IP individuals) but the largest adults become territory-holding (Terminal Phase or TP) males.
The word "wrasse" comes via Cornish from the Welsh word gwrach meaning an old woman or hag.
The Neoproterozoic era lasted from 1,000 to 541  million years ago (mya).
In the second period, the Cryogenian, the Earth had two great ice ages, the Sturtian and Marinoan glaciations.
These ice ages were so severe they are sometimes called Snowball Earth.

The type genus is Lobelia.
Lobelias are delightful plants in many area.
Zoonosis or a zoonotic disease is an infectious disease which an animal can give to a human.
These diseases may be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites.
Zoonotic diseases are very common.
About 60% of all infectious diseases in humans are spread by animals.
Zoonotic diseases can be spread in different ways.
They may be spread from a sick animal directly to a human  for example, through bites and infected saliva (like with rabies), or through the air.
This is called direct zoonosis.
Zoonotic diseases can also be spread through a vector.
This is an animal that carries the pathogen that causes the disease without getting infected.
Diseases like this are called vector-borne diseases.
Sometimes the vector picks up the disease from another animal.
For example, rats who have the bubonic plague do not directly infect humans.
Instead, fleas bite the rats and pick up the bacteria that causes plague without getting sick.
Then, if the flea bites a human, they can pass the bacteria on to the human, and the human can get the plague.
The rat is the host of the disease, and the flea is the vector.
Types of zoonotic diseases
Foodborne illnesses
Many foodborne illnesses are zoonotic diseases.
In these cases, a human gets infected by eating food that came from a sick animal, or one which had picked up a parasite.
The most common pathogens that cause foodborne illnesses are Salmonella, Campylobacter, and Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria.
Eggs, seafood, meat, poultry, and dairy products can all carry these bacteria and cause foodborne illnesses, like food poisoning, in humans.

Teasel is a plant in the genus Dipsacus.
There are about 15 different species of teasel.
These flowering plants are tall and leafy (herbaceous).
They are biennial plants and are native to (come from) Europe, Asia, and northern Africa.
They can grow to be  tall.
These plants have a prickly stem and leaves.
Its flowers are purple, dark pink, or lavender and grow directly on the end of the stem.
After flowering, the head of the plant dries out and holds small seeds.
These seeds are important food in the winter for birds, especially the European Goldfinch.
Teasels are grown in gardens and nature reserves to attract these goldfinches.
In the United States, teasel is an invasive species.
It is not native to the continent and takes over the land of native plant species.
Dipsacus ferox - Spiny Teasel
Dipsacus fullonum - Wild Teasel, Common Teasel, Fuller's Teasel
Dipsacus japonica - Japanese Teasel, Chinese Teasel

Cleaner shrimp is a generic term for any swimming decapod crustacean that cleans other organisms of parasites.
This is an example of symbiosis: Both parties benefit.
The fish benefit because they have parasites removed, and the shrimp gain the nutritional value of the parasites.
In many coral reefs, there are cleaning stations, with many cleaning shrimps.
This behaviour is similar to that of cleaner fish.
Sometimes, cleaer shrimp join cleaner wrasse and other cleaner fish.

Mimosa is a genus of plants.
It includes around 400 different species of herbs and shrubs.
It is classified in the subfamily Mimosoideae of the legume family Fabaceae.
The word "mimosa" comes from the Greek word  that means "mimic".
The best known species of mimosa are Mimosa pudica and Mimosa tenuiflora.
Mimosa pudica is found in Central and South America.
When touched or heated, it folds its leaves.
Mimosa tenuiflora is used by shamans (traditional magical) healer.
It is used in ayahuasca brews (a "magic" drink) because of the psychedelic drug N,N-Dimethyltryptamine DMT in its roots.
The Mimosa genus has gone through many periods of time where it was split up into smallergroupings or lumped into larger ones.
It has over 3,000 names to describe it and its species.
Most of these names are now considered synonyms.
Some of the names have been given to other species and genera.
Because of this, the name "mimosa" has been used for other species that look like mimosa but are not related.
Some of the most common unrelated plants with this name are the silk tree (Albizia julibrissin) and Sattle (Acacia dealbata.)
This genus includes some plants that are able to move fast.
The mimosa's leaves close quickly when touched.
Mimosa is related to the genera Acacia and '[Albizia.
The difference between them is that the mimosa's flowers have ten or fewer stamens.
The big round flower of the mimosa is actually an inflorescence, a cluster (close group) of many small flowers.

He is believed to be one of thousands who were summarily shot by anti-communist death squads during the Spanish Civil War.
In 2008, a Spanish judge opened an investigation into Lorca's death.
The Garcia Lorca family eventually dropped objections to the excavation of a potential gravesite near Alfacar.
However, no human remains were found.

Isopods are animals that belong to an order of peracarid crustaceans.
This order is called Isopoda.
The name Isopoda derives from the Greek roots (iso-, meaning "same") and (podos, meaning "foot").
Some isopod species live in water, like the tongue louse.
Others live on land, like woodlice and pill bugs.
Isopods can be half an inch long.
They are usually gray, brown or black, with an oval-shaped body.
They have seven armor plates, called "pereonites," which protect them.
They also have seven pairs of short legs.
Isopods have two pairs of antennae; one pair feels along the ground.
Isopods have gills and need water to breathe.
Because of this, the isopod species which live on land must stay in moist places.
Karl Denke  (August 12, 1870 – December 22, 1924) was a serial killer from Germany.
He is one of the most well-known serial killers in Germany in the 1920s.
Denke was born in Münsterberg, Silesia in the Kingdom of Prussia (now Ziębice in Poland.)
There is not a great deal of information about his early life.
As an adult he was well liked in his community.
He worked as an organ player at the local church.
On December 20, 1924, Denke was arrested after attacking a man at his house with an axe.
Police searched Denke's home and found human flesh in huge jars of curing salts.
A ledger (record book) contained the details of 30 people Denke had murdered and cannibalized (eaten) over the years.
Police thought he sold the flesh of his victims at the Breslau (today's Wrocław) market.
The day after his arrest, Denke hanged himself in his cell.
His exact motives are unknown and can only be guessed at.

Biography in Polish
Taglish and Englog are the names of the mixed language family that developed in Manila from the of English and Tagalog languages, the common languages of the Philippines.
There are several versions of it, including Coño English, Jejenese and Swardspeak.
There are attempts to differentiate the usage of Taglish and Englog where Taglish refers to the usage of English words in Tagalog syntax while Englog refers to the usage of Tagalog words in English syntax.
Taglish and Englog are used by Filipinos in countries like Australia, Canada, the Republic of Ireland, New Zealand, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
It used in text messages to write more quickly.
Taglish (or Englog) is a language of Manila created by mixing the English and the Tagalog languages together.
The language is used because Tagalog words are longer than words in English.
English action words, and even some naming words, can be Tagalog action words.
This is done by the addition of one or more prefixes or infixes and by the doubling of the first sound of the starting form of the action or naming word.
The English action word drive can be changed to the Tagalog word magda-drive meaning will drive (used in place of the Tagalog word magmamaneho).
The English naming word Internet can also be changed to the Tagalog word nag-Internet meaning have used the Internet.
Taglish and Englog also use sentences of mixed English or Tagalog words and phrases.
The conjunctions used to connect them can come from eany of the two.
Jejenese
Jejenese is the kind of speech used by people called "Jejemons".
This is a subculture in the Philippines, made up of people who try to change the English language to better suit Spanish and Filipino.
Their alphabet, Jejebet, is based on Leet.
Words are created by mixing letters in a word, mixed large and small letters, using the letters H, X or Z many times, and mixing of numbers in words.
The spelling is the same as in Leet.
Swardspeak is a kind of Taglish and Englog used by gay people.
It is a form of slang.
Swardspeak uses words from Tagalog, English, Spanish, Cebuano, Japanese, Sanskrit, and other languages.
Names of Celebrities and trademark brands are also used.
Coño English
Coño English (tl: Konyo) or Colegiala English (es: ) is a creole of Taglish and Englog that originated from the children in rich families of Manila.
The word coño itself came from the Spanish word coño.
It is a form of Philippine English that has Spanish and Tagalog words.
Unlike other forms of Taglish and Englog, Coño English sounds more gentle and feminine.
The most common aspect of Coño English is the building of action words using the English action word make with the base form of a Tagalog action word.
Sometimes, Tagalog interjections such as ano, naman, pa, na (or nah), no (or noh), a (or ha), e (or eh), and o (or oh) are placed to add emphasis.
No and a (from the Tagalog word ano) are used for questions and are added to the end of a sentence only.
Ano (meaning what) is also used for questions and is placed in the front or the end.
E (added to answers to questions) and o (for statements) are used for exclamations and are added to the front only.
Pa (meaning not yet, not yet done, to continue, or still) and na (meaning now, already, or already done) can be placed in the middle or end.
Naman (same as na but mostly for emphasis only) is placed anywhere.
The interjection no? (
equal to the Spanish ¿no?
and the German nicht?)
is pronounced as  or  (with a pure vowel instead of the English glide), which shows influence from Spanish.
English description words are often replaced with Tagalog action words.
The language also has many Spanish words or Spanish words like baño ("bathroom"),
tostado ("toasted") and jamón ("ham").
Due to the feminine sound of Coño English, male speakers sometimes overuse the Tagalog word pare (which means "pal" or "buddy"), in order to make it sound more masculine.
Sometimes tsong (whose meaning is the same) is used instead of pare or with it.
Examples below:
A machinist is a person who uses tools to make modify parts and objects, such as parts for firearms, vehicles such as airplanes, cars, and boats, and plastic injection molds.
A machinist can cut metal, plastic, wood, or other materials, such as ice.
Machinists may operate manual machines or Numerical control (CNC) machines.
Machinists follow a print that tells them what kind of metal to use, where to cut, how deep to cut, what angles to cut at, and many other specified instructions to meet a person's standards.
These tools include, but are not limited to, the:
Lathe, a machine tool that grips a piece of "stock" (metal cut into a smaller size for machining) and spins it against cutting point.
A lathe may be CNC or manual.
Milling machine, a machine tool that grips a cutter and spins it, and allows the stock to be pushed into, away from, or against the cutter.
A milling machine may be CNC or manual.
Machinists will make use of calipers, gages, micrometers, paints, and other items for the use of checking to see if parts are machined correctly or planning out cuts.
Layout paint may come in red or blue.
It is used to coat the side of a part for scribing a path or shape of a cut.
Bar stock
Bar stock is metal that has not yet been machined.
It may be referred to as slugs, blanks, or billets.
It may be made of different kinds of steel or aluminum.
Metals higher in Carbon are harder to cut, while metals lower in carbon are easier to cut.
