A gauge is a display of some kind that shows a measurement.
Common types of gauges are dials and scales.
Fundamental frequency, as in music or phonetics
Fundamentalism, the belief in the basic ideas based on the faith of a system of thought
Any of a number of fundamental theorems in mathematics, such as:
The fundamental theorem of algebra
The fundamental theorem of arithmetic
A speedometer is a type of gauge that shows the speed a vehicle is moving.
It usually shows the speed in miles per hour (mph) for countries that use the statute mile for distances or Kilometres per hour (kph) for countries that use the metric system.
Originally, a speedometer was an option that car owners could buy to put on their car.
Beginning about 1910 it was built into all cars.
The electric speedometer was invented by the Croatian Josip Belušić in 1888, and was originally called a velocimeter.
Charles Babbage is credited with creating an early type of a speedometer.
These were usually fitted to locomotives.
A speedometer was patented by a German, Otto Schulze on October 7, 1902, it uses a rotating flexible cable usually driven by gearing linked to the output of the vehicle's transmission.
The early Volkswagen Beetle and many motorcycles, however, use a cable driven from a front wheel.
Speedometer accuracy
Most speedometers have tolerances of some ±10%, mainly due to variations in tire diameter.
Sources of error due to tire diameter variations are wear, temperature, pressure, vehicle load, and nominal tire size.
Vehicle manufacturers usually calibrate speedometers to show the vehicle is going faster.
Underinflation
When a tire has less air pressure than it should, it is underinflated.
Underinflation causes excessive heat and reduces the diameter of the tires.
This causes it to rotate faster than the speedometer shows it is.
Tires underinflated by only 10 psi can mean a car or truck reading 70 mph on the speedometer is actually traveling at 72 mph.
The AFL–NFL merger of 1970 was the merger of the two major professional American football leagues in the United States at the time: the National Football League (NFL) and the American Football League (AFL).
The merger combined the two leagues and retained the "National Football League" name and logo, to become one of the most popular sports leagues in the United States.
The major professional sports leagues, or simply major leagues, in  Canada and United States are the highest professional competitions of team sports in the two countries.
Although individual sports such as golf, tennis,  auto racing, and gymnastics are also very popular, the term is usually limited to team sports.
The term "major league" was first used in 1921 in reference to Major League Baseball (MLB), the top level of professional American baseball.
Today, the major northern North America professional team sports leagues are Major League Baseball (MLB), the National Basketball Association (NBA), the National Football League (NFL), and the National Hockey League (NHL).
Other notable leagues include Major League Soccer (MLS), the Canadian Football League (CFL),  the Arena Football League, Major League Lacrosse, the National Lacrosse League, Professional Lacrosse League and the Women's National Basketball Association.

A diving bell was an early system for underwater diving.
The basic idea of a bell is that a hollow object, even with an open bottom, will hold air when put under water (this can be seen with a glass in a sink).
If the bell is heavy enough it will sink below the water.
A swimmer can be inside the bell and breathe, or hold his breath and swim outside the bell for a short time, and come back to the bell to breath again.
The idea had been around for a long time, but became useful in the 1600s.
Scuba diving has mostly replaced diving bells although they are still used sometimes.

Uluṟu–Kata Tjuṯa Aboriginal Land Trust is the land trust that holds the freehold title to the land of Uluṟu–Kata Tjuṯa National Park (referred to as Northern Territory Portion 1728).
The trust is the legal landowner and holds the title on behalf of the people who are recognised as the land's traditional owners.
It was created on 26 October 1985.
The land was originally claimed as part of the Katiti Land Claim in 1979.
The claim was judged in 1980, and Commissioner Justice John Toohey formally recognised 104 traditional owners for Uluṟu and 57 for Kata Tjuṯa.
He granted them freehold title to the land now held by the Katiti Aboriginal Land Trust.
They were not granted the title to Uluṟu–Kata Tjuṯa because it was already being used as a national park.
There was then a long legal case over the freehold title (actual ownership) of the park lands.
The case continued until November 1983, when Prime Minister Bob Hawke acknowledged that the traditional owners had the rights to Uluṟu.
In 1985, the Territory passed two amendments: one for the Aboriginal Land Rights Act and one for the National Parks and Wildlife Conservation Act.
The freehold title to the land in the park was passed to the Uluṟu–Kata Tjuṯa Aboriginal Land Trust on 26 October 1985.
As part of the agreement, the land was immediately leased back to the Director of National Parks for a period of 99 years.
The title is inalienable, which means that it can not be sold, traded or given away; it is inherited continuously by the community's descendants.

The Palisades Sill is a Triassic intrusion, formed 200 million years ago.
It runs through parts of New York and New Jersey.
It is noteworthy for The Palisades, cliffs which rise steeply above the western bank of the Hudson River.
The visibility of the sill,and its unique features, have got much attention from nature enthusiasts, rock climbers, and geologists.
The outcrop of the Palisades Sill is quite recognizable for its prominent cliffs above the Hudson River; it is easily seen from the western portions of Manhattan.
The exposure is approximately  long, most of it following the Hudson River.
It first emerges in Staten Island in New York City.
The sill then crosses the state line into New Jersey, where Hoboken, Jersey City, Union City, Fort Lee, and Englewood Cliffs all lie on it.
The end of the Triassic saw large-scale rifting during the break-up of Pangaea.
What is now eastern North America began to separate from what is now north-western Africa, creating the young Atlantic Ocean.
Magma came from decompression melting, and some was pushed into the pre-existing sandstones and arkoses.
The magma solidified and, after millions of years, the overlying rocks got uplifted and eroded, exposing the Palisades Sill as we see it.
There is an average stratigraphic thickness of 300 meters (~1000 feet), with the famous cliffs rising 100 meters (300 ft) on average above sea level.
The intrusion dips between 10 and 15 degrees westward for most of its length.
The sill was intruded at a depth of about 3-5 kilometers.
These studies also concluded that the sill was in a position nearly identical to its current one (10-to-15-degree dip); this is further confirmed by the still-vertical orientation of the columnar jointing.
A moccasin is a shoe made of deerskin or any other soft leather.
It has a sole and sides made out of a single piece of leather.

Moccasins are usually worn outside.
The shoes protect the foot while allowing whomever wears them to feel the ground.
The Mannanana Range () is a mountain range in the southwest of the Northern Territory, Australia.
It is a section of the Petermann Ranges.
It roughly consists of a single ridge about  long.
It extends northwest towards Kaltukatjara from Tjunti, where it is split from the Curdie Range by the Hull River.
The Hull winds around the range from the south and then runs along its northeastern side.
The name "Mannanana" was first recorded on maps by Herbert Basedow.
It comes from , which is actually the Pitjantjatjara name for the range immediately to the west.
This western range takes its name from  (meaning "woman's buttocks"), which is a formation overlooking Kaltukatjara and the Docker River on the range's western end.
The name for the Mannanana Range in Pitjantjatjara is , after the Tjunti soakage at its eastern end.

Paracel Islands is the name for a number of uninhabited atolls and reefs in the South China Sea.
They are about  from Hainan and about  from Vietnam.
Currently they are under the control of the People's Republic of China, but Taiwan and Vietnam also claim them.
The islands are located in the South China Sea consisting of over 30 islets, sandbanks and reefs with about  of the ocean surface.
The archipelago is approximately equidistant from the coastlines of Vietnam and China,  southeast of Hainan Island, and about one-third of the way from central Vietnam to the northern Philippines.
Turtles live on the islands, and seabirds have left nests and guano deposits, but there are no permanent human residents except military personnel and fishermen.
The islands are divided into two main groups.
The Amphitrite group is in the northeast and the Crescent group is in the southwest, and they are located about  from one another.
Subject to hot and humid climate, with abundant rainfall and frequent typhoons, the archipelago is surrounded by productive fishing grounds and potential oil and gas reserves.

The Beach Erosion Board (BEB) was a federal board organized under the US Government's War Department (later, the Department of Defense), U.S. Army, and was a part of the civil works program of the United States Army Corps of Engineers.
The Board had seven members and a staff.
The life of the BEB spanned a period of 33 years, beginning with its establishment in July 1930.
The BEB was abolished in November of 1963.
The functions of the BEB pertained to review of reports of investigations made concerning erosion of the shores of coastal and lake waters, and the protection of those shores.
Under its implementing legislation, Section 2 of Public Law 520, 7lst Congress, approved on July 3, 1930, the Chief of Engineers, U.S. Army, was given authority to make, in cooperation with the appropriate agencies of the various coastal States, investigations and studies aimed at devising effective means of presenting erosion of the shores of coastal and lake waters by waves and currents.
The funding provision for these investigations and studies was that no money should be expended under authority of the Act in any State which did not provide for cooperation with the agecies of the United States and contribute to the project such funds and/or services as the Secretary of War deemed appropriate and required.
In 1963, certain of the BEB’s functions were transferred to the newly created Coastal Engineering Research Center, while others were transferred to the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors.
Pursuant to the federal Water Resources Development Act of 1992, the duties and responsibilities of the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors subsequently were transferred by the Secretary of the Army to other elements within the Department of the Army as the Secretary determined to be necessary.

Sub-Roman Britain is the name given to Britain after the Roman legions left.
It usually means the time between 410 AD and the beginning of the seventh century.
After four centuries of controlling Britain, the Romans left Roman Britain at the beginning of the fifth century.
However Roman culture and probably a kind of Latin language survived for another two centuries with the Anglo-Saxons slowly settling from northern Germany and the Jutland peninsula.
The invasion was first stopped by the Romano-British.
Indeed, Subroman Britain initially successfully fought the invasion of the anglosaxons from northern Germany and the Jutland peninsula, thanks to a mytical king named King Arthur.
Probably Ambrosius Aurelianus, who was a powerful Romano-British leader in Subroman Britain around mid-5th century, was King Arthur.
He was renowned for his campaigns against the Saxons, and there is some speculation that he (or his son, according to the historian Gildas) may have commanded the Romano-British forces at the Battle of Badon Hill, where the barbarians were won around 500 AD.
The Anglo-Saxons obtained control of eastern England at the end of the 5th century.
In the mid-6th century they started expanding again into the English Midlands.
Then in the 7th century they expanded again into the south-west and the north of England.
The unconquered parts of southern Britain, notably Wales and surrounding areas of western Britain, retained their Romano-British culture, in particular Christianity.
The Anglo-Saxons gained control of eastern England at the end of the 5th century.
In the mid-6th century they started moving again into the English Midlands.
Then in the 7th century they moved again into the south-west and the north of England.
The parts of southern Britain they hadn't invaded yet, notably Wales and surrounding areas of western Britain, kept their Romano-British culture, in particular Christianity.
Some Anglo-Saxon histories (in context) call the Romano-British people "Welsh", which is an Old English word meaning 'foreigner'.
Historically, Wales and the south-western peninsula were known respectively as North Wales and West Wales.
Recent discoveries have helped document the continuing urban occupation of some Romano-British towns near Watling Street such as Viriconium (Wroxeter) and Venta (Caerwent), in those two centuries.
One of the last Sub-Roman cities to be conquered by the Anglo-Saxons was Deva Victrix (Chester), where Roman "amphoras" were used until 616 AD.
The Romano-British may have survived partly because of the Chester city walls; the city had been defended by walls since the Deva Victrix fort was built on the site in 79 AD.
However, there were romanized Britons -retaining their "insular latin"- until the late seventh century, as demonstrated by archaeological discoveries in Tintagel and other localities.

The rufous hare-wallaby (Lagorchestes hirsutus) is a small wallaby found in Australia.
It is also known by its Western Desert name mala.
It used to be found widely across the western half of Australia, but is now only found in Bernier and Dorre Islands in Shark Bay.
It is currently classified as a vulnerable species.
The rufous hare-wallaby is a nocturnal herbivore that eats herbs, leaves and seeds.
It is usually solitary, meaning that it lives alone.
The species was first described by John Gould in The Mammals of Australia (1844).
It is currently being reintroduced to mainland Australia, to the Tanami Desert in the Northern Territory.
Four distinct groups of this species have been described as subspecies:
Lagorchestes hirsutus hirsutus, now extinct
Lagorchestes hirsutus bernieri, only found on Bernier Island
Lagorchestes hirsutus dorreae, only found on Dorre Island.
The fourth is an unnamed subspecies that is extinct in the wild.
It was originally discovered in the Tanami Desert, and was once widespread across the centre of Australia.
The only existing members of this group have been moved to conservation reserves in Western Australia.

Hasty generalization is an informal fallacy of generalisation by making decisions based on too little evidence or without recognizing all of the variables.
In statistics, it may mean basing broad conclusions of a survey from a small sample group.
X is true for A.
X is true for B.
X is true for C.
X is true for D.
Therefore, X is true for E, F, G, etc.

The Kelly Hills () are a mountain range at the southern end of the Northern Territory of Australia.
It is located directly north of the Musgrave Ranges, and about  northeast of Amaṯa.
Its highest point is about  above sea level.
Mount Robert, at the eastern end of the range, is about 796 metres above sea level.
The area is known as Aputjilpinya in the native Yankunytjatjara language.
It forms part of an important Mala Dreaming track that runs between Uluṟu and Ulkiya.
There are a few soakages located within the hills.
One of them, Puntitjara, was recorded by several early White explorers travelling through the Kelly Hills.
The South Australian government's North-West Prospecting Expedition, led by Lawrence Wells, was brought there by an Aboriginal guide in 1903.
One of the expedition's prospectors, Herbert Basedow, recorded the name as "Punndijarrinna" and reported that it was a good source of water.
Basedow returned to Puntitjara in June 1926 on another expedition, this one led by Donald Mackay.
According to Mackay, they found it dry and covered with a layer of sand.
The anthropologist Ted Strehlow visited Puntitjara in August 1936, but founded it covered by mud.

Ambrosius Aurelianus was a powerful Romano-British leader in Sub-Roman Britain around mid-5th century.
He has been identified with the legendary King Arthur by historians like John Morris.
Ambrosius Aurelianus was born in Roman Britain in the years when Roman legions withdrew from the British isles and started the Anglo-Saxon conquest.
He seems to be born in a noble Roman family, resident in Britain for many generations.
He also appeared independently in the legends of the Britons, beginning with the 9th-century "Historia Brittonum", written by Nennius.
His importance comes from the fact that he is the only Romano-british leader named by Gildas, who was the only historian who lived during Sub-Roman Britain times: this fact makes Ambrosius Aurelianus an historical and "real" personality in the King Arthur legends.
He was renowned for his campaigns against the Anglo-Saxons, and there is some speculation that he (or his son, according to the historian Gildas) may have commanded the Romano-British forces at the Battle of Badon Hill, where the barbarians were won around 500 AD.
