Euclidean space is the space Euclidean geometry uses.
In essence, it is described in Euclid's Elements.
The Euclidean plane () and three-dimensional space () are part of Euclidean space, which can be generalized to any dimension n (in which case one writes ).
Euclidian space is sometimes called Cartesian space.
A few other spaces and mathematical objects that are similar were added later.
Euclid based his work Elements on certain axioms.
Euclidean space can be described using such axioms.

Julian Seymour Schwinger (February 12, 1918 – July 16, 1994) was an American theoretical physicist.
He won the Nobel Prize in Physics.
Schwinger was born in New York City.
His parents were Jewish from Poland.
Schwinger attended Townsend Harris High School and the City College of New York.
He received a B.A. in 1936.
He received a Ph.D. from Columbia University.
He worked at the University of California, Berkeley.
Sui iuris is a Latin phrase that is used in law.
Sometimes, the phrase is also spelled sui juris.
It literally means of its own right.
It is used to say that the legal status of an institution or entity is not comparable to anything else, and there are special laws that say how this institution or entity should work.
An example use is in Canon law: The Roman Catholic church say that certain churches are sui iuris.
That way the Eastern Catholic churches have their own government, and laws.
Despite this, these churches still recognize the Pope of Rome as their spiritual leader.
"The Eastern Catholic Churches are not 'experimental' or 'provisional' communities; these are sui iuris Churches; One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic, with the firm canonical base of the Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches promulgated by Pope John Paul II."
Parity of zero is the question whether the number zero is even or odd.
General consensus is that the number is even.
Even numbers are defined to be integer multiples of two.
That way, the numbers two, four and six are even, because they are one times two, two times two, and three times two.
With that explanation, zero is also even, because it is zero times two.
Another explanation is from number theory: The integers are arranged in such a way that even numbers are followed by odd ones, and odd ones by even ones.
Zero is preceded by minus one, and followed by one.
Both numbers are odd.
So it must be even.
There is also a problem: The term "even" meaning "integer multiple of two" is a convention; people agreed on it.
It is not a formal definition.
Another case where people used a convention they agreed on was that of prime number: Before the 20th century, there were many inconsistent definitions of prime: Mathematicians such as Goldbach, Lambert, Legendre, Cayley, and Kronecker wrote that 1 was prime.
The modern definition of "prime number" is "positive integer with exactly 2 factors", so 1 is not prime.
This definition is rational: it naturally suits mathematical theorems that concern the primes.
For example, the fundamental theorem of arithmetic is easier to state when 1 is not considered prime
It would be possible to redefine "even" in a way that no longer includes zero.
However, in this case, the new definition would make it more difficult to state theorems concerning the even numbers.
Already the effect can be seen in the algebraic rules governing even and odd numbers.
The most relevant rules concern addition, subtraction, and multiplication:
even ± even = even
odd ± odd = even
even × integer = even
The above rules would therefore be incorrect if zero were not even.
At best they would have to be modified.
For example, one test study guide asserts that even numbers are characterized as integer multiples of two, but zero is "neither even nor odd".
Accordingly, the guide's rules for even and odd numbers contain exceptions:
even ± even = even (or zero)
odd ± odd = even (or zero)
even × nonzero integer = even
Making an exception for zero in the definition of evenness forces one to make such exceptions in the rules for even numbers.
From another perspective, taking the rules obeyed by positive even numbers and requiring that they continue to hold for integers forces the usual definition and the evenness of zero.
Henry Rider Haggard (1856–1925) was an English writer.
He is best known for his adventure novels.
His novels were notable for their unusual invention and stories that kept people interested.
His best novels were very popular in his lifetime.
They made the genre of adventure fiction popular again.
Haggard also wrote books about farming and emigration.
Haggard lived in South Africa for six years when he was a young man.
Many of his novels were set in Africa, including King Solomon's Mines (1886), Allan Quatermain (1887) and She (1887).
In 1919, Haggard was knighted for his services to the British Empire.
Haggard's autobiography, The Days of My Life, was published in 1926 after he died.
Morton Cohen's biography of Haggard was published in 1960.
White's illusion is a brightness illusion.
Here, some stripes of a black and white grating are replaced by gray rectangles (see Fig).
All gray bars usually have same color and opacity.
The brightness of the gray pieces appear to shift toward the brightness of the top and bottom bordering stripes, that is, the gray bars with horizontal black regions on their top and bottom appear darker and those with white regions on their top and bottom appear lighter.
But this does not match with what lateral inhibition predicts.
This illusion is mostly described for grayscale.
A similar illusion occurs for colored patches.
This is known as Munker-White's illusion or Munker's illusion.
Lateral inhibition result for White's effect
The amount of each bipolar cell response depends on the amount of the stimulation it receives from the receptor.
Neighboring cells decrease this response.
This is called lateral inhibition.
Lateral inhibition cannot explain White's illusion.
In Figure 2.1 lateral inhibition sent by black cells A and C should make cell O lighter; in Figure 2.2 lateral inhibition sent by white cells A and C should make cell O darker.
Rules suggested to describe optical illusions such as simultaneous brightness contrast illusion, such as Wallach's ratio rule cannot explain White's illusion.
These rules suggest that cell O in figure 2.1 receives less inhibition that cell O in figure 2.2.
So, the cell O in figure 2.1 should be lighter than cell O in the other figure.
However, the opposite case happens.
White and White (1985) concluded that at a higher spatial frequency the grating of White's illusion could be described by brightness assimilation.
The belongingness theory has been given as an explanation of White's illusion.
Belongingness means that we perceive things depending on its surroundings.
According to belongingness theory, the lightness of rectangle A is influenced by the white bars that surround it.
Similarly, the rectangle B on the right side is surrounded by the dark bars.
So, the lightness of rectangle B is affected by the dark background.
As a result, area A which rests on the white background appears darker than area B which rests on the dark background.
Not all scientists accept the belongingness theory.
They say that when talking about the background, it is the same as lateral inhibition.
In neurobiology, lateral inhibition is the ability of an excited neuron to reduce the activity of its neighbors.
It stops action potentials from spreading in the lateral direction.
It is called lateral inhibition as it stops (inhibits) neighboring neurons from firing.
This creates a contrast in stimulation.
This increases perception.
For example, in vision, it helps in differentiating edges.
It occurs primarily in visual processes.
But it has also been seen in tactile, auditory, and even olfactory processing.
Cells that use lateral inhibition are mainly present in cerebral cortex and thalamus.
They make up lateral inhibitory networks (LINs).
Artificial sensory systems have artificial lateral inhibition built in them.
Examples are vision chips,   hearing systems, and optical mice.
Raif Badawi (Arabic: رائف بدوي‎; born 13 January 1984) is a Saudi Arabian writer and activist.
He started the website Free Saudi Liberals in 2008.
He was arrested in 2012 because of the website.
The website was then taken off the internet.
Badawi was sentenced to 10 years in prison and 1000 lashes.
Badawi has also been banned from any media work or foreign travel for 10 years after his release from prison.
Badawi's first 50 lashes were given on January 9, 2015.
After that, Badawi's lashes were postponed many times.
In June 2015, a Saudi high court ruled that Badawi should be lashed but the lashing was postponed hours before it was going to happen.
Badawi's wife called Ensaf Haidar believes he is weak in body and suffering mentally.
She fears this may be a slow death sentence.
Badawi's sister Samar Badawi is also an activist.
Her husband Waleed Abul-Khair is Raif's lawyer.
He was sentenced to 15 years in prison in July 2014.
Samar is working to get both her brother and husband released from prison.
Sweden–Finland (, ) is a historiographical term.
It refers to the Kingdom of Sweden from the days of the Kalmar Union in the late 14th century up to the Napoleonic Wars in to the early 19th century.
In 1809 it was split into two halves.
The eastern half became the Grand Duchy of Finland in personal union with the Russian Empire.
The western half remained as the Kingdom of Sweden.
Adventure fiction is a type of fiction in which an adventure forms the main storyline.
The adventure is usually an exciting undertaking involving risk and physical danger.
Author Malins describes adventure fiction as the story "of the hero—individual or group—overcoming obstacles and dangers and accomplishing some important and moral mission."
The characters in an adventure fiction are highly sympathetic.
They are also ones the reader can easily relate to.
There has to be a conflict to overcome and a clever villain to stop.
A key part of many adventure fictions is the hero.
In most stories the hero has to succeed.
At the same time the hero may be the least interesting character in the story.
The hero is often timid, submissive and easily pushed around.
The hero may be a superhero, a spy, a detective or even an antihero.
But the hero manages to meet the challenge.
All great adventure heroes seem to find the ability to beat their enemies or win over hostile environments.
Sometimes the villain wins.
In Edgar Allan Poe's story The Cask of Amontillado, the villain is the narrator of the story.
Sometimes the villain wins only to be confronted again in a sequel.
The genre
In many adventure fictions, the adventure takes place in foreign lands or exotic places.
One of the earliest adventure fiction writers was Daniel Defoe.
His stories of Robinson Crusoe and Captain Singleton helped set the standards for the adventure fiction genre.
Another British author Sir Walter Scott built on the formula.
He combined history with adventure fiction.
His historical romance novels Waverley, Rob Roy and Ivanhoe were classic adventures.
They helped the reader understand the hero and gave him a code of chivalry.
French author Alexandre Dumas wrote The Three Musketeers, The Count of Monte Cristo and Man in the Iron Mask.
These were very popular in Europe and America.
His stories had strong elements of revenge and forgiveness.
James Fenimore Cooper in his adventure stories The Pioneers, The Last of the Mohicans and The Pathfinder were set in exotic new world locations.
But Cooper changed the aristocratic hero into one who was noble even though not born into the nobility.

Anthony Trollope (1815–1882) was an English novelist who wrote 47 novels and a number of other books.
His mother Frances Trollope was also a writer.
Trollope became an official of the Post Office and lived in Ireland from 1841 to 1859; he left his Post Office job in 1867.
Trollope is well known for his series of novels set in the imaginary county of Barsetshire.
His first novel was published in 1847 and The Warden, the first Barsetshire novel, in 1855.
The rest of the series were published during the next 12 years: The Barchester Chronicles (1857), Doctor Thorne (1858), Framley Parsonage (1861), The Small House at Allington (1864), and The Last Chronicle of Barset (1867).
Barsetshire is imagined as a county in southwest England.
The county town is Barchester, which is the seat of the Bishop of Barchester.
Trollope also wrote a series of political novels featuring the Palliser family.
These began in 1864 with Can You Forgive Her?.
The rest of the series is Phineas Finn (1869), The Eustace Diamonds (1873), Phineas Redux (1876), The Prime Minister (1876), and The Duke's Children (1880).
Trollope was an industrious and disciplined writer who wrote short stories, travel books and biographies as well as novels.

Sterling silver is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% by mass of silver and 7.5% by mass of other metals, usually copper.
The sterling silver standard has a minimum of 925 in continental European terms.
Pure silver, for example 99.9% pure, is generally too soft for making objects for use.
Therefore, the silver is usually alloyed with copper to give it strength while keeping the ductility and beauty of the precious metal.
Other metals can replace the copper, to improve various properties of the basic sterling alloy such as increasing resistance to tarnish.
These replacement metals include germanium, zinc and platinum, as well as a variety of other additives, including silicon and boron.
Alloys such as argentium silver have appeared in recent decades.
Argentium silver has some germanium added, and resists tarnishing well.
The first legal definition of sterling silver appeared in 1275.
A statute of Edward I specified that 12 ounces of silver for coinage should contain 11 ounces  pennyweights of silver and  pennyweights of alloy, with 20 pennyweights to the Troy ounce.
Queen Christina of Sweden (;  – 19 April 1689), was the queen of

The Pike Place Fish Market is an open air fish market located in Seattle, Washington at the corner of Pike Street and Pike Place.
It is known for their tradition of fishmongers throwing fish that customers have purchased, before they are wrapped.
After nearing bankruptcy in 1986, the fish market owner and employees decided to become "world famous", changing their way of doing business by introducing their flying fish, games, and customer performances.
Four years later, they were featured repeatedly in the national media and television shows.
The store is now a popular tourist destination in Seattle, attracting up to 10,000 daily visitors, and is often billed as world-famous.
The Pike Place Fish Market was purchased in 1965 by John Yokoyama.
Yokoyama was a former employee of the fish market, who bought the store to make enough money to afford the car payments on his new Buick Riviera.
At first, Pike Place Fish Market was unknown outside of the Seattle area.
Yokoyama and his staff decided to change that in a meeting with a business coach in 1986.
Prior to the meeting, the Pike Place Fish Market was near to bankruptcy.
Consultant, Jim Bergquist, was helping them to conceive of ways to save the business.
A fish market employee at the meeting suggested that they not only save the business, but make it "world famous".
They had the idea of flying and throwing fish and having games with customers.
They thought that staff were enjoying their work so that customers would as well.
In an interview, Yokoyama stated, "We took a stand that we were going to become world famous.
We just said it and it became so."
Four years later, in 1990, Ted Turner's Goodwill Games were held in Seattle.
News crews at the Pike Place Market discovered the fish market and its performances with customers, and they filmed them.
Soon afterwards, the fish market appeared on Good Morning America.
The business and its employees were being filmed by various movie crews, and being featured in many magazines.
Now, during the summer tourist season, the fishmongers will perform now in front of as many as 10,000 visitors daily.
The success of the business has been cited to its human resources and employee attitudes.
The employees of the fish market will often speak to businesses, civic groups, and schools on ways to be successful.
This has led to their being featured in motivational books.
A popular feature at the Pike Place Fish Market is a fish which sometimes is made to "snap" at customers.
In 1991, CNN named the Pike Place Fish Market as one of the three most fun places to work in America.
The Pike Place Fish Market is best known for their habit of hurling customers' orders across the shopping area.
A typical routine will involve a customer ordering a fish, with their fishmongers in orange rubber overalls and boots calling out the order, which is loudly shouted back by all the other staff, at which point the original fishmonger will throw the customer's fish behind the counter for wrapping.
Initially, the shouted repeating of the ordered fish began as a prank on one employee, but was enjoyed by customers, so it became a tradition.
While working, the staff continually yell to each other and chant in unison while they throw ordered fish.
At times, the fish market staff will throw a foam fish into the crowd to scare bystanders, or select a customer from the crowds to participate in the fish toss.
Above the areas in which they throw fish, the market hangs a sign that reads, "Caution: Low Flying Fish".
Movies, books and popular culture
In 1998, the Pike Place Fish Market was the subject of a documentary movie and accompanying book, FISH!
The Pike Place Fish Market has also been the setting for several best-selling corporate training videos, the aforementioned FISH!,
and also FISH!Sticks, which have been used by companies such as Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Sprint Nextel, Southwest Airlines, Sainsbury's, Saturn, and Scottish and Southern Energy, for employee training.
The Pike Place Fish Market has been featured in a variety of television shows and commercials.
These include a Spike Lee Levis jeans commercial; MTV's The Real World; NBC's Frasier, and ABC's Good Morning America.
In movies, it has appeared in Free Willy.

Pietra dura () or pietre dure () (see below), called parchin kari or parchinkari () in the Indian Subcontinent, is a term for using cut and fitted, highly polished colored stones to create images.
The stonework is glued stone-by-stone to a base after being "sliced and cut in different shape sections; and then assembled together so precisely that the contact between each section was practically invisible".
Stability was achieved by grooving the undersides of the stones so that they interlocked, rather like a jigsaw puzzle, with everything held in place by an encircling 'frame'.
Many different colored stones, particularly marbles, were used, along with semiprecious, and even precious stones.
The technique first appeared in Rome in the 16th century.
It reached its peak in Florence.
Typically the resulting panel is completely flat, but some examples have the image is in low relief.
There are a number of similar techniques which should not be called pietra dura.
The English term "Florentine mosaic" is sometimes used for the work of Giovanni Montelatici (1864-1930).
He was an Italian Florentine artist whose brilliant work has been distributed across the world by tourists and collectors.
Pietra dura is also different from mosaics because stones are mostly much larger and cut to a shape suiting their place in the image, not all of roughly equal size and shape as in mosaic.
In pietra dura, the stones are not cemented together with grout, and works in pietra dura are often portable.
Nor should it be confused with micromosaics, a form of mosaic using very small tesserae of the same size to create images for Byzantine icons, and later for furniture panels.
Cats can be many different breeds and fur coat colours.
A pink cat is not a color found in nature.
But several pink cats have been reported about in the news  media.
Sometimes the cat colour has changed to pink with chemicals or dyes.
There are also several fictional pink cats in popular culture.
Real pink cats
In September 2005, a cat named Brumas roamed away from his owners in Launceston, Cornwall.
When he came back after a short time, his fur was coloured pink.
No one ever figured out the cause of the colour change.
Brumas was taken to the RSPCA to be tested.
He did not have any toxins.
In September 2010, a cat with dyed pink fur was found in Swindon, South West England.
The RSPCA said the dyeing was a "sick prank".
Even though they tried to wash the colour out of the cat's fur, it stayed pink.
The cat did not have any signs of side-effects or harm.
The event made worldwide news.
Soon the owner told the truth.
She said that the cat had been dyed pink using food colouring because she was a fan of the colour.
She said the act "seemed like a good idea.
I always wanted a pink animal - a bit like my hair".
She said she read the instructions carefully and the food colouring could not be harmful because it was safe for humans to eat.
The RSPCA decided not to arrest her for harming her animal.
In May 2011, four kittens were found in a concrete factory in Redruth, Cornwall.
One kitten had pink fur.
A cat rescue group named "Cats Protection", tried to wash out the colour with shampoo, but could not.
Cats having pink patches are found in Bulgaria.
The color is probably a genetic mutation and is very close to orange.
They are usually pink-white bicolor; or pink-blue-white or pink-black-white calico cats.
Fictional pink cats
The Pink Panther is a cartoon cat that was created by Friz Freleng.
He is seen in the opening titles of the Peter Sellers movies with his own theme music.
He also had his own cartoon show.
Animation historian Jerry Beck has said the cartoon cat is "anti-authority – he's cool yet he's pink".
The character of the children's television series Bagpuss was a pink cat.
The Bagpuss puppet was really supposed to be an orange marmalade colour.
When the puppet was made, it was dyed pink by mistake.
Another children's television show, Roobarb and Custard, had a pink cat named Custard.
Roobarb, the dog, was yellow.
This program was shown on BBC television in England.
The characters acted similar to the animated cat and mouse, Tom and Jerry.
In 2014, a Dutch artist, Florentijn Hofman, made a  tall pink cat for an exhibition in Century Park, Shanghai.
Princess Carolyn from BoJack Horseman is a pink cat.

The Hungarian Revolution of 1956 or Hungarian Uprising of 1956 ( or ) was a spontaneous nationwide revolt.
It was against the government of the Hungarian People's Republic and its Soviet-imposed policies.
It lasted from 23 October until 10 November 1956.
It was the first major threat to Soviet control since the USSR's forces drove out the Nazis at the end of World War II and took over Eastern Europe.
Despite the failure of the uprising, it was highly influential.
It played a role in the fall of the Soviet Union decades later.
At the end of World War II Hungary was liberated from the Nazis.
It was occupied by the Soviet Union’s Red Army.
Hungary's communists were led by General Secretary Mátyás Rákosi and backed by Joseph Stalin.
The communists destroyed all political opposition.
In 1949 Hungary officially became the People’s Republic of Hungary.
Rákosi was an oppressive ruler.
He exiled, imprisoned or killed over 300,000 Hungarians.
After Stalin died, the soviet communists replaced Rákosi with Imre Nagy.
They thought his softer approach would win them popularity.
But the Kremlin decided he had become too popular.
Rákosi was returned to power in April 1955.
His secret police, the AVO, carried out Rákosi's oppressive orders again.
Eventually, the Hungarian people got tired of their bad living standards and protested.
When the revolt broke out in October 1956, the Hungarian revolt was very sudden.
Nobody had any idea it would sweep the country and break out everywhere all at once.
However, there were warning signs that trouble was coming.
The Communist Party in Hungary had lost much of its authority and respect.
In July of 1956 Rákosi was removed again as leader of the party.
He was sent back to the Soviet Union.
2,500 Hungarians died and thousands were imprisoned.
Hundreds of Soviet troops died.
200,000 fled Hungary.
Communists in the Western Bloc argued about the Soviet Union intervening to stop the uprising.
In association football, a substitute is a player who is brought on to the pitch during a match in exchange for a player who is currently playing.
Substitutions can be made for many reasons.
Sometimes, they are made to replace a player who has become tired or injured.
Substitutes can also replace a player who is playing poorly, or can be for tactics.
For example, substitute strikers can be brought on for defenders if the team needs to attack.
The term "super-sub" refers to a substitution made by the manager that saves the game.
This is generally done by scoring one or more late goals.
The goals can equalize or win the team the match.
Players who have been called "super-subs" include David Fairclough for Liverpool, Adam Le Fondre for Reading, Ole Gunnar Solskjær and Javier Hernández for Manchester United, and Edin Džeko for Manchester City  among others.
It is designed to be thinned and cleaned up with water.
This avoids using turpentine, whose fumes may be harmful if inhaled, and is a fires risk.
Water miscible oil paint can be mixed and used with the same techniques as traditional oil-based paint.
When it is still wet, it can be removed from brushes, palettes, and rags with ordinary soap and water.
Its water solubility comes from the use of an oil medium in which one end of the molecule has been altered to bind loosely to water molecules, as in a solution.
Another advantage of this type of oil paint is that it dries faster than traditional oils (but slower than acrylics).
Also, painters can control the speed of drying with supplementary products from artistic paint suppliers.
Turpentine (spirit of turpentine, oil of turpentine, wood turpentine) or  turps is a solvent and a source of materials for organic synthesis.
Turpentine is a solvent fluid got by distilling resin from live trees, mainly pines.
It is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons.
As a solvent, turpentine is used for thinning oil-based paints, for producing varnishes, and as a raw material for the chemical industry.
The word turpentine comes from the Greek word τερεβινθίνη terebinthine, the name of a species of tree, the terebinth tree.
It is hazardous.
It is dangerous to inhale, and can cause fires.
Because of this, white spirit (mineral turps) or other substitutes are often used.
