Equivocation is a fallacy when a word has more than one meaning and the person arguing confuses the multiple meanings of the word to prove an argument correct.
For example, "All trees have bark.
All dogs bark.
Therefore, all dogs are trees."
This is a fallacy because the two times "bark" is used in the argument have very different meanings from each other, while in the argument, the word "bark" should have the same meaning the whole argument.
The first meaning of "bark" is the outer layer of a tree, and the second meaning is a shouting sound that a dog makes.
The argument does not work because the person changed the meaning of "bark" in the middle of the argument.

In Australia, an Aboriginal Land Trust (ALT) is a type of non-profit organisation that holds the freehold title to an area of land on behalf of a community of Aboriginal Australians.
The land is granted to a community by the government under a perpetual lease, usually after the community makes a legal claim of traditional ownership.
Land granted under Aboriginal title is inalienable, meaning it can not be bought, sold, traded or given away.
The Land Trust is the organisation appointed by the community to legally hold the title deeds.
Several states and territories have enacted laws to establish Aboriginal Land Trusts, but not all.
In South Australia, there is a single Aboriginal Lands Trust.
It was created under the Aboriginal Lands Trust Act, 1966.
It holds title to Aboriginal land in South Australia and organises the management and control of those lands.
The Aboriginal Lands Trust in Western Australia was created by the Aboriginal Affairs Planning Authority Act, 1972.
It holds about 27 million hectares (11%) of the state's land, most of which was previously held by the state government.
In Queensland, there are multiple Land Trusts.
They were created under the state's Aboriginal Land Act, 1991.
In the Northern Territory, Land Trusts are governed under the Aboriginal Land Rights Act, 1976, which also governs the way in which groups can make claims to land.
The ALTs hold the title to land handed back to the traditional Aboriginal owners through the Land Rights Act.

The Petermann Aboriginal Land Trust is a land trust for a large block of land in the southwest corner of the Northern Territory, Australia.
It was created by law in July 1978.
The block of land (called Northern Territory Portion 1634) covers an area of .
It makes up most of the area of the old Petermann Reserve (1920–1977).
The land's traditional owners are mostly Pitjantjatjara, Yankunytjatjara and Luritja people.
This includes residents of Kaltukatjara and over 50 family outstations.
The block held by the Petermann ALT is surrounded by other Aboriginal land blocks on all sides.
It borders the Ngaanyatjarra Lands to the west (in Western Australia), the Aṉangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands to the south (in South Australia), Haasts Bluff Aboriginal Land Trust to the north, and Katiti and Urrampinyi Iltjiltajarri Aboriginal Land Trusts to the east.
In March 1920, an area of land in the southwest corner of the Northern Territory was made into an aboriginal reservation, called the Petermann Reserve.
It was meant to be a temporary refuge (safe place) for the Aboriginal families living in the area, many of whom were still living traditional, nomadic lifestyles.
It bordered other large reserves created in Western Australia and South Australia, and together the area was known as the Central Australian Aboriginal Reserve.
In 1940, the Petermann Reserve was made smaller, to allow people to look for gold.
It was made smaller again in 1958, when the government excised the area around Uluṟu and Kata Tjuṯa to create the Ayers Rock–Mt Olga National Park.
In 1976, the Commonwealth Parliament passed the Aboriginal Land Rights Act, which allowed for Aboriginal communities to be granted freehold title to land if they could show that they lived on the land for many years.
Section 4 of the act gave the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs the power to establish Aboriginal Land Trusts to look after the title.
The trusts would be established by publishing notices in the government gazette.
In 1977, the old Petermann Reserve land was transferred to the Petermann Land Trust and to other Aboriginal land-owning corporations.
The boundaries of the Petermann trust were first described in the Gazette on 21 July 1978.
They were later made into law by Act No.
109 of 1985, which went into effect on 16 October 1985.

The Cartful 車仔檔 , also known as portable stall and mobile stall, is a style of hawker stall originated from the street vendors selling inexpensive street food, like eggette, Tang Cong Bing 糖葱餅, and cart noodle, in the 1950s.
This style of selling is part of Hong Kong traditional culture.
It reflects people’s way of living and their spirits.
In recent years, the operation of the cartful faces challenges due to the government policies and modernization.
Hong Kong has been experiencing economic downturn in the 1950s, meanwhile, refugees from the Mainland fled to Hong Kong constantly after the establishment of The People's Republic of China, leading to an increase in population.
People struggled to make a living, they started to operate mobile stall using wooden carts with a low production cost.
With the portable carts, street vendors could get away in time from being arrested by the police.
In the 1970s and 1980s, a wide variety of products are sold then.
Besides food and snacks, household goods, clothing and kitchenware could be found in the carful in place like Sham Shui Po.
The cartful sells mainly two kinds of products, street food and clothes.
Some traditional street food such as eggette, curry fish balls and fried chestnuts are favored by teenagers.
These $10-odd snacks are cheap but delicious.
They smell very nice so that they drive people queuing for them.
The cartful owners make the snacks once they are ordered so as to keep them hot and fresh.
Apart from the street snacks, the carful also sells clothes, sometimes handbags.
Women love buying free-sized legging and socks.
Though customers cannot try fitting the products, they are willing to buy them.
Owners and locations
There are mainly two types of owners which are the unemployed middle-aged and the unlicensed hawkers.
Both of them are the main support of their family while they cannot find a suitable job.
As a result, they choose to run the carful because it can help them make a decent living and avoid the high rent.
The carful of these kinds are operated by family units.
Relationship with Hong Kong
The cartful fully reveals Hong Kong spirits: diligence and fast paced lifestyle.
With a small amount of capital and time, owners can earn huge profit from the whole day sales by moving their cart around without paying high rent.
This traditional hawking style is threatened because of the government policy and modernization.
As the law  prohibits unlicensed hawking, many mobile stalls have been demolished.
Yet, the government sets up markets in different districts like Tin Sau Hui  and Wan Chai Tai Yuen Street  in order to gather the mobile stalls.
Short term memory is the ability to keep information in mind for a short amount of time.
Remembering a phone number long enough to find a piece of paper is an example.
The brain keeps information in its short term memory for a small period of time.
The amount of time the mind is able to do this is usually some seconds.
The opposite of short-term memory is long-term memory, which is where things are stored in the brain for a long time.
These items may be recalled later, or there may be difficulty recalling them.
Memory is what goes on in the brain in storing and retrieving past experiences.
These processes do what we call remembering.
Memory is the foundation of  intelligence and the ability to learn.
Information about a needle being sharp and hurtful when touched by bare hands is processed to make a response of survival and self-preservation.
This leads to us (and other animals) to change what we do when we met needles a second time.
Memory, which starts out as short-term memory allows for learning, and helps intelligent behavior.
Basis of memory
Donald Hebb (19041985) was the first to come up with a way to tell the difference between short-term and long-term memory.
When the brain receives an input, like something that is seen or heard, a sensory memory keeps a copy of what is seen or heard, but this memory lasts for only about a few seconds.
Anything that is kept in the brain longer depends on our selective attention.
Things that we "notice" are kept in short-term memory for up to a few minutes.
This memory is thought to be dependent on electrical activity in the brain and is easily destroyed by interruption or interference.
Short-term memory includes iconic memory as well, which holds visual images; acoustic memory, to hold sounds; and working memory, which is an active process to keep a memory until it is put to use.
Memories which are stored for longer than this are called long-term memory.
Hebb had a theory of long-term memory as  a change in the strength of connections between the neurons.
Long-term memory is relatively permanent storage and the process involves the creation of new proteins.
Whether or not the information is stored in long-term memory depends on its importance.
Usually for animals memories that are made during times of stress and discomfort are important for adaptive values.
In the future they help avoid anything that will bring them stress.
Short-term memory has a limited duration, and the contents decay over time.
The decay idea is usually paired by the idea of repeating the memory over and over.
In order to overcome the limitation of short-term memory, and retain information for a longer amount of time, it has to be repeated either by saying it out loud of by saying it mentally repeatedly.
By doing this the information will re-enter the short-term process and be kept for a further period.
Forgetting greatly limits the information that can be kept over a short period of time.
The capacity of short-term memory is finite, but there is no clear unit of measurement for what that is.
Memory span is the term used to describe this, where there is only a certain amount of information that can be memorized over a short period until it is lost.
Factors affecting STM
The capacity of short-term memory leads to the question of the capacity of short-term memory as a whole.
At present there is no way of telling whether a piece of information will be stored as short-term memory or not.
In an experiment done to determine the capacity of short-term memory individuals had to memory a list of items and recall it, and it was suggested that the span of their short-term memory was reached when they could no longer remember the list in order.
There are many conditions that can affect short-term memory.
They range from simple distractions to serious disorders.
The loss of memory is natural and is expected with ageing.
By the age of 55 it is found experimentally that the loss of memory starts to occur which usually occurs more often with long-term memory loss.
Age very much affects the short-term memory as well.
There are many other things which affect memory loss beside advanced age.
There are disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, aphasia, schizophrenia, advanced age, and posttraumatic stress disorder.
These are all linked to the loss of memory.
The celestial equator is a term in observational astronomy.
It is a great circle on the imaginary celestial sphere, in the same plane as the Earth's equator.
As a result of the Earth's axial tilt, the celestial equator is inclined by 23.4° with respect to the ecliptic plane.
An observer standing on the Earth's equator visualizes the celestial equator as a semicircle passing directly overhead through the zenith.
As the observer moves north (or south), the celestial equator tilts towards the southern (or northern) horizon.
At the poles, the celestial equator is parallel to the horizon.
Epictetus was an Ancient Greek philosopher.
He was born in Hierapolis, Phrygia around 55 AD.
The name his parents gave him is unknown; the word epíktetos (επίκτητος) in Greek simply means "acquired."
He spent his youth as a slave in Rome to Epaphroditos, a rich freedman and secretary to Nero.
The city was near the modern-day town of Pamukkale in Turkey.
He died around 135 AD in Nikopolis in Epirus, in Greece.
He was one of the most influential philosophers of the late Stoa.
Epictetus founded a school of philosophy, where he also taught.
None of his writings survive, but one of his pupils, Arrian, wrote what Epictetus taught.
Philosophy, Epictetus taught, is a way of life and not just a theoretical discipline.
To Epictetus, all external events are determined by fate, and so are beyond our control; we should accept whatever happens calmly and dispassionately.
However, individuals are responsible for their own actions, which they can examine and control through rigorous self-discipline.
Suffering occurs from trying to control what is uncontrollable, or from neglecting what is within our power.
As part of the universal city that is the universe, it is our duty to care for all our fellow men.
Those who follow these precepts will achieve happiness and peace of mind.

Data type is frequently shortened to type.
The data type integer has a certain range of allowed values.
For example on an 8-bit computer, this range includes all whole numbers between -127 and 127.
The value 1337, however, is not an allowed integer value.
Furthermore, the data type integer allows certain operations: The operation + can take two integer dates and calculates their combined sum.
There are many more operations.
All those operations characterize the data type integer.
Together, the specific permissible range and legal operations, are referred to as a concrete data type.
High-level
Boolean values
characters (individual letters) and strings
a subset of real numbers
Usually, these and other basic data types can be combined to custom data types using structure concepts like:
Low-level
The notion of data type as presented above is unknown in assembly language, a low-level programming language.
register names
memory addresses
immediate values
File format: describes how to read or write a computer file (legal operations) and what this file may contain (permissible value range)
variable: variables in computer programming frequently require a data type
Interstellar space travel is manned or unmanned travel between stars.
Interstellar travel is much more difficult than travel within the Solar System, though travel in starships is a staple of science fiction.
Actually, there is no suitable technology at present.
However, the idea of a probe with an ion engine has been studied.
The energy would come through a laser base station.
Given sufficient travel time and engineering work, both unmanned and sleeper ship interstellar travel seem possible.
Both present considerable technological and economic challenges which are unlikely to be met in the near future, particularly for manned probes.
NASA, ESA and other space agencies have done research into these topics for several years, and have worked out some theoretical approaches.
The difficulties of interstellar travel
The main challenge facing interstellar travel is the vast distances that have to be covered.
This means that a very great speed and/or a very long travel time is needed.
The travel time with most realistic propulsion methods would be from decades to millennia.
Hence an interstellar ship would be much more exposed to the hazards found in interplanetary travel, including vacuum, radiation, weightlessness, and micrometeoroids.
At high speeds the vehicle would be penetrated by many microscopic particles of matter unless heavily shielded.
Carrying the shield would greatly increase the propulsion problems.
Cosmic rays
Cosmic rays are of great interest because there is no protection outside the  atmosphere and magnetic field.
The energies of the most energetic ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) have been observed to approach 3 × 1020 eV, about 40 million times the energy of particles accelerated by the Large Hadron Collider.
At 50 J, the highest-energy ultra-high-energy cosmic rays have energies comparable to the kinetic energy of a  baseball.
As a result of these discoveries, there has been interest in investigating cosmic rays of even greater energies.
Most cosmic rays, however, do not have such extreme energies.
The energy distribution of cosmic rays peaks at .
Required energy
A significant factor is the energy needed for a reasonable travel time.
A lower bound for the required energy is the kinetic energy K = ½ mv2 where m is the final mass.
If deceleration on arrival is desired and cannot be achieved by any means other than the engines of the ship, then the required energy at least doubles, because the energy needed to halt the ship equals the energy needed to accelerate it to travel speed.
The velocity for a manned round trip of a few decades to even the nearest star is thousands of times greater than those of present space vehicles.
This means that due to the v2 term in the kinetic energy formula, millions of times as much energy is required.
Accelerating one ton to one-tenth of the speed of light requires at least 450 PJ or 4.5  J or 125 billion kWh, not accounting for losses.
The source of energy has to be carried, since solar panels do not work far from the Sun and other stars.
The magnitude of this energy may make interstellar travel impossible.
One engineer stated “At least 100 times the total energy output of the entire world [in a given year] would be required for the voyage (to Alpha Centauri)”.
interstellar dust and gas may cause considerable damage to the craft, due to the high relative speeds and large kinetic energies involved.
Larger objects (such as bigger dust grains) are far less common, but would be much more destructive. .
Travel time
The long travel times make it difficult to design manned missions.
The fundamental limits of space-time present another challenge.
Also, interstellar trips would be hard to justify for economic reasons.
It can be argued that an interstellar mission which cannot be completed within 50 years should not be started at all.
Instead, the resources should be invested in designing a better propulsion system.
This is because a slow spacecraft would probably be passed by another mission sent later with more advanced propulsion.
Kennedy's calculation
Andrew Kennedy has shown that voyages undertaken before the minimum wait time will be overtaken by those who leave at the minimum, while those who leave after the minimum will never overtake those who left at the minimum.
Kennedy's calculation depends on r, the mean annual increase in world power production.
From any point in time to a given destination, there is a minimum to the total time to destination.
Voyagers would probably arrive without being overtaken by later voyagers by waiting a time t before leaving.
The relation between the time it takes to get to a destination (now, Tnow, or after waiting, Tt, and growth in velocity of travel is
Interstellar distances
Astronomical distances are often measured in the time it would take a beam of light to travel between two points (see light-year).
Light in a vacuum travels approximately 300,000 kilometers per second or 186,000 miles per second.
The distance from Earth to the Moon is 1.3 light-seconds.
With current spacecraft propulsion technologies, a craft can cover the distance from the Earth to the Moon in around eight hours (New Horizons).
That means light travels approximately thirty thousand times faster than current spacecraft propulsion technologies.
The distance from Earth to other planets in the Solar System ranges from three light-minutes to about four light-hours.
Depending on the planet and its alignment to Earth, for a typical unmanned spacecraft these trips will take from a few months to a little over a decade.
The distance to other stars is much greater.
If the distance from Earth to Sun is scaled down to one meter, the distance to Alpha Centauri A would be 271 kilometers or about 169 miles.
The nearest known star to the Sun is Proxima Centauri, which is 4.23 light-years away.
The fastest outward-bound spacecraft yet sent, Voyager 1, has covered 1/600th of a light-year in 30 years and is currently moving at 1/18,000th the speed of light.
At this rate, a journey to Proxima Centauri would take 72,000 years.
Of course, this mission was not specifically intended to travel fast to the stars, and current technology could do much better.
The travel time could be reduced to a few millennia using solar sails, or to a century or less using nuclear pulse propulsion.
Special relativity offers the possibility of shortening the travel time: if a starship with sufficiently advanced engines could reach velocities near the speed of light, relativistic time dilation would make the voyage much shorter for the traveller.
However, it would still take many years of elapsed time as viewed by the people remaining on Earth.
On returning to Earth, the travellers would find that far more time had elapsed on Earth than had for them (twin paradox).
Many problems would be solved if wormholes existed.
General relativity does not rule them out, but so far as we know at present, they do not exist.
The round-trip delay time is the minimum time between a probe signal reaching Earth, and the probe getting instructions from Earth.
Given that information can travel no faster than the speed of light, this is for the Voyager 1 about 32 hours, near Proxima Centauri it would be 8 years.
Faster reactions would have to be programmed to be carried out automatically.
Of course, in the case of a manned flight the crew can respond immediately to their observations.
However, the round-trip delay time makes them not only extremely distant but, in terms of communication, extremely isolated from Earth.
Another factor is the energy needed for interstellar communications to arrive reliably.
Obviously, gas and particles would degrade signals (interstellar extinction), and there would be limits to the energy available to send the signal.
Manned missions
The mass of any craft capable of carrying humans would inevitably be substantially larger than that necessary for an unmanned interstellar probe.
The vastly greater travel times involved would require a life support system.
The first interstellar missions are unlikely to carry life forms.
Prime targets for interstellar travel
There are 59 known stellar systems within 20 light years from the Sun, containing 81 visible stars.
The following could be considered prime targets for interstellar missions: Radiation dangers would rule out any organic beings for an expedition to Sirius.
In any event, it is hard to visualise any manned expeditions at all, given the probable journey times.
Perhaps the most likely time for interstellar travel would be when a star comes through our Oort cloud.
We should get a good 10,000 years' warning of this, so could plan for the event in some detail.

Bloods Range (or Blood's Range) is a mountain range in central Australia.
It stretches roughly east to west across the border between the Northern Territory and Western Australia.
It consists of several sets of hills, separated by valleys; the two main valleys are formed by the Hull and Docker Rivers.
There are numerous ravines and gorges all throughout the hills.
Bloods Range connects with the Petermann Ranges at its western end.
In the centre are Mounts Harris (840 m) and Carruthers (1000 m), which are the highest peaks.
Further east, the range splits into several branches, including the Rowley Range, McNichol's Range and the Pinyinna Range.
Bloods Range was given its name on 14 March 1874 by the explorer Ernest Giles, when he saw it from the top of Mount Curdie.
He named it after the owner of an early pastoral station in South Australia, whose surname was "Blood".
On 12 June 1889, Giles' second-in-command, W. H. Tietkins, returned on his own expedition and surveyed the range.
He named the two highest peaks Mount Harris and Mount Carruthers.
From the top of Mount Harris, he wrote that he could see Kata Tjuṯa, the Petermann Ranges and the Tomkinson Ranges.

Jerusalem Botanical Gardens (JBG) are the national botanical gardens of Israel.
The gardens are on the Hebrew University of Jerusalem campuses of Mount Scopus and Givat Ram.
The first garden was established in 1926 at Mount Scopus.
After 1948, when the university in Mount Scopus was occupied by Jordan, it was opened in a new site, in 1954, on the new campus university, in Givat Ram.
After the 1967 war, when Mount Scopus was reoccupied by Israel, the garden in Mount Scopus was opened again.
The visitor center is in Givat Ram, next to Nayot neighborhood.

Transplants are a type of surgery.
Both tissues and organs can be transplanted.
Types of transplant:
An organ transplant is a kind of surgery where the person being operated on will need an organ replaced, and gets a healthy one from someone else, a donor.
Usually the organ is taken from someone who is recently deceased, except for organs like bone marrow or kidneys, which can be taken without harming the donor too much.
The critical problem with all transplants is transplant rejection by the host's immune system.
Unless the host and donor are a very close genetic match, the host's immune system will reject the transplant.
To stop this happening, drugs are used to suppress, or limit, the host's immune system.
This in turn makes the host more vulnerable to various kinds of infection.
To keep this problem to a minimum, transplants are only done when surgeons are satisfied that the host and donor are a fairly close match.
Tests are done to see how good a match the donor's organ or tissue is to the proposed host.

The Amidah (, "standing") is one of the two main prayers of Judaism.
It has that name because people say it standing up.
Jews say it at every prayer service of the year.
It is also called Shemoneh Esrei (, "eighteen") because at first the weekday version of the prayer had eighteen blessings.
(It now has nineteen.)
In the Talmud, it is called Tefilah ().
This simply means "prayer".
It has that name because it is so central to Judaism.
Blessings of the Amidah
The first section has blessings of praise to God.
The middle section is different between weekdays and Shabbat and holidays.
On weekdays it has blessings asking for God's help.
On Shabbat and holidays there is one blessing to thank God for Shabbat or the holiday.
The last section has blessings to thank God for everything He does for us.
First section: praise to God
Praises God as the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
Praises God as having power over life and death
Praises God for being holy
Middle section (weekday): asking God for help
Asks God for the ability to think and understand
Asks God to help us follow the laws of His Torah
Asks God to forgive us for sins
Asks God to save us from trouble
Asks God to heal the sick
Asks God to bless produce and to provide us a living
Asks God to return Jewish exiles to the land of Israel
Asks God to give us fair judges on Earth
Asks God to punish heretics who then slander Jews
Asks God to support righteous people
Asks God to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem
Asks God to bring the Messiah
Asks God to accept all our prayers
End section: thanking God
Thanks God for allowing our prayers
General blessing of thanks to God
Thanks God for peace
Saying the Amidah
The Amidah is said at least three times every day: at the morning, afternoon and evening prayer services.
A person should say it standing.
A person should say it loud enough to hear it.
But it should be quiet enough that other people cannot hear it.
At the morning and afternoon services, the Amidah is repeated out loud by the prayer leader.
When the Amidah is said out loud:
The third blessing includes a section called Kedushah, or "holiness", centered around Isaiah's vision of angels declaring God's holiness.
The eighteenth blessing includes a section called Modim d'Rabbanan, or "The Rabbis' Prayer of Thanks."
The Talmud says that everyone must thank God himself or herself, even during public prayer.
In Reform Judaism the Amidah is not said quietly.
It is said out loud at every prayer service.
Changes on Shabbat and Jewish holidays
People do not ask God to help them meet their needs.
The middle section of the weekday Amidah is replaced by one blessing about the holiness of the Shabbat or holiday.
The first three blessings and last three blessings are the same as on weekdays.
The Amidah is said a fourth time.
This Amidah is called the musaf, or additional service.
The middle blessing is about the additional offering given at the Temple in Jerusalem on Shabbat and holidays.
There are two Amidah prayers during the year that are different from any others.
See the pages on these holidays for more information.
On Rosh Hashanah, the musaf Amidah has nine blessings instead of seven.
On Yom Kippur, a fifth Amidah, called Ne'ilah ("closing") is said at the very end of the day.
A siddur (Jewish prayer book) is always the best reference for information about Jewish prayers:

A visual novel is a type of video game.
They use mostly static (non-moving) graphics, and usually have anime/manga-styled art.
Sometimes they contain video footage.
Almost all visual novels are produced in Japan, very few of these are ever sold in the Western market.
Examples of popular visual novels are Kanon, Clannad, and Air.
Visual novels are different from other types of video games in that there is not much gameplay, most of the time the player clicks the screen to move through the game, and occasionally choices will come up for the player to make, which will determine what happens in the game.
Most visual novels have more than one storyline and ending, the gameplay has been compared to Choose Your Own Adventure books.

Appalachian English is a dialect of the English language.
It is spoken in the Appalachian Mountains region.
Research suggests it is one of the most unique dialects in the United States.
Since the 1930s, a lot of research has been done to figure out where the dialect came from.
One theory is that the dialect is a remnant of Elizabethan (or Shakespearean) English that had been preserved by the region's isolation.
Another theory suggests that the dialect developed out of the Scots-Irish and Anglo-Scottish border dialects brought to the region by some of its earliest British Isles settlers, who were from the border of Scotland and England.
Recent research suggests that Appalachian English developed as a uniquely American dialect as early settlers adapted English to their unfamiliar frontier environment.
This is supported by many similarities between the Appalachian dialect and Colonial American English.

Carnaval, Op.
9, is a work for piano solo by Robert Schumann.
It was written in 1834-1835.
Subtitled Scènes mignonnes sur quatre notes (Little Scenes on Four Notes).
the work is a collection of short pieces representing masked revelers at a festival.
Schumann, his friends and colleagues, and characters from improvised Italian comedy (commedia dell’arte) are all depicted musically in the work.
Carnaval is centered on four notes which had special meaning for Schumann: A, E-flat, C, B - signified in German as A-S-C-H. Each piece has a title, and the work as a whole is a musical representation of an elaborate masked ball during carnival season.
Both Schumann and his wife, Clara, thought his solo piano works too difficult for the general public.
They were rarely performed in Schumann's lifetime.
Franz Liszt however performed selections from Carnaval in Leipzig in 1840.
Today, the work is one of Schumann's most often performed works.
The work was orchestrated in the early 20th century for a ballet produced for the Ballets Russes which starred Nijinsky.
1 in B flat major, Op.
38 ("Spring")  is the first of Robert Schumann's four symphonies.
It was written early 1841.
Schumann sketched the symphony in four days from 23 January to 26 January.
He completed the orchestration by 20 February.
The premiere took place under the direction of Felix Mendelssohn on 31 March 1841 in Leipzig.
The symphony was well received.
Schumann was largely known for his piano works and for songs at the time.
His wife Clara Schumann encouraged him to write symphonic music.
Schumann said he was inspired by his Liebesfrühling (spring of love) in the symphony's composition.
The work has four movements: Andante un poco maestoso – Allegro molto vivace (B flat major); Larghetto (E flat major; Scherzo: Molto vivace – Trio I: Molto piu vivace – Trio II (G minor); and Allegro animato e grazioso (B flat major).
The orchestration is for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, timpani, triangle and strings.
Schumann expanded the use of the timpani in this piece.
He made some revisions in the work until the definitive edition was published in 1853.
