An adjustable wrench (US) or adjustable spanner (UK) is a wrench with a "jaw" of adjustable width.
It can be used with different sizes of fastener head (nut or bolt).
This type of tool may have other names in other parts of the world.
Several people are claimed as its inventor.
Edwin Beard Budding (1796–1846), an engineer from Stroud, England, is one.
On 22 September 1885 Enoch Harris received US patent 326868 for his spanner that permitted both the jaw width and the angle of the handles to be adjusted and locked.
Some countries refer to it as a "Swedish key" after Swedish inventor Johan Petter Johansson.
In 1891 he got a patent for an improved adjustable spanner which is still used today.
Johansson improved the 1842 invention of another English engineer Richard Clyburn.
Monkey wrenches
A monkey wrench is a heavyweight wrench in which the jaw width was set by a spinning ring fixed under the sliding lower jaw.
In 1840, Worcester, Massachusetts knife manufacturer Loring Coes invented it.
It was based on the wrench used on English 18th century coach wheels.
Coe patented it in 1841 and the tools were advertised and sold in the United States as "monkey wrenches".
Northern Sotho (Sesotho sa Leboa in Northern Sotho) is an African language mainly spoken by people living in the Limpopo Province of South Africa.

Northern Sotho is part of the Sotho language family.
Southern Sotho (Sesotho in Southern Sotho) is an African language mainly spoken by people living in Lesotho and the Free State Province of South Africa.
Southern Sotho is one of the two official languages of Lesotho and one of the eleven official languages of South Africa.
It is spoken by almost 6,024,000 people, or 7% of South Africans at home (2011 census).
Southern Sotho is part of the Sotho language family.
A bolt is a form of grooved fastener with an external helical male thread that engages the interior female thread of a nut.
Bolts are closely related to, and often confused with, screws.
The Tswana language (or Setswana) is a language spoken in southern Africa.
About five million people speak it.
It belongs to the Niger–Congo language family within the Sotho languages.
It is closely related to the Northern- and Southern Sotho languages.
Tswana is an official language of Botswana.
Most Tswana speakers are in South Africa, where four million people speak the language.
A nut is a type of fastener with a threaded hole.
Nuts are almost always used with a mating bolt to fasten  parts together.
Thus "nut and bolt" or "nuts and bolts" are term which recognise their pairing.
Like bolt heads, their shape is usually hexagonal, because this is best for gripping with tools.
Nuts are graded with strength ratings like their respective bolts.
For example, an ISO property class 10 nut can support the bolt proof strength load of an ISO property class 10.9 bolt without stripping its thread (the inside spiral groove).
The corn snake (Pantherophis guttatus) is a North American species of rat snake that kills small prey by constriction.
Corn snakes are found throughout the southeastern and central United States.
They reach a moderate size of .
In the wild, they usually live around 6–8 years, but in captivity can live to be up to 23 years old or longer.
Corn snakes look similar to  the venomous copperhead snake and are often killed because of this similarity.
Corn snakes are harmless and beneficial to humans.
They are one of the most common snakes kept as pets, alongside the garter snake and ball python.
Corn snakes lack venom and help control populations of wild rodent pests that damage crops and spread disease.
They can be distinguished from copperheads  by their brighter colors, slender build and lack of heat-sensing pits.
Although the corn snake is distinguished by its bright red orange colored scales, possible mutations can occur completely rejecting these pigments, changing its appearance.
The two-color mutations that are known to occur is albinism and anerythrism.
Snakes that are homozygous for albinism lack the black pigment, and the ones that are homozygous for anerythrism lack the red pigment.
The corn snake is named for the species' regular presence near grain stores, where it preys on mice and rats that eat harvested corn.
The Oxford English Dictionary cites this usage as far back as 1675.
Some sources maintain that the corn snake is so-named because the distinctive, nearly-checkered pattern of the snake's belly scales resembles the kernels of variegated corn.
Regardless of the name's origin, the corn reference can be a useful mnemonic for identifying them.
Their diet in the wild mainly consists of rodents, small amphibians, birds and/or their eggs, other types of eggs, and so on.
They're not known for eating insects, though.
In captivity they're usually fed a steady diet of pinky mice and other types of creatures such as the ones above.

The South Magnetic Pole is the point on the southern hemisphere where the magnetic lines are directly pointing upward.
In other words, if there were a magnet inside the earth axis (from north to south), the South Magnetic pole would be at its southern end.
Because the magnetic field of the Earth changes, the exact location of ths pole does as well.,
placing it off the coast of Antarctica, between Adelie Land and Wilkes Land.
In 2015 it lies at  (est).
That point lies outside the Antarctic Circle.
Due to polar drift, the pole is moving northwest by about 10 to 15 kilometers per year.
Its current distance from the actual Geographic South Pole is approximately 2860 km.
The nearest permanent science station is Dumont d'Urville Station.

An urban heat island, or UHI, is what happens when a city is warmer than the area around it.
It happens because things in cities like concrete take longer to give off heat than things like trees, which are common outside of cities.
The urban heat island effect is stronger at night and when there is not much wind.
Cities can be 3°C warmer than nearby countryside.
In country areas, a large part of the incoming solar energy goes to evaporate water from vegetation and soil.
But cities have less vegetation and soil.
In cities, most of the sun’s energy is absorbed by urban building and asphalt paving.
During warm daylight hours, there is less evaporative cooling in cities than in country areas.
So, surface temperatures rise higher in cities than in country areas.
Also, vehicles, factories, and industrial and domestic heating and cooling units give off more heat in cities.
This problem is growing.
This effect causes the city to become 2 to 10o F (1 to 6o C) warmer than surrounding rural areas.

Zwartbles sheep are a large breed of domestic sheep.
This breed first came from Holland in the north of the Netherlands.
They were used to make sheep milk as well as lamb and mutton.
They were often kept in the same fields as the dairy cattle.
They were brought over to Great Britain in the late 1900s.
They are not very common and now live in the north of England.
The sheep have reddish brown wool,  black legs with four white socks, a white tip on the tail, and a black face with a white stripe.
They do not have horns.
The lambs look the same but have jet black wool.
These are a tame and friendly sheep, but are difficult to look after.
They are bred for their meat and not for their wool, because it is very dark and cannot be dyed.
The meat from Zwartbles sheep does not have much fat and tastes sweet.
Being so large, they often have three or four lambs.
Having so many babies can cause problems for the mother in giving birth.
These sheep have become less popular in Holland.
There are so few there that they are listed as being rare by the Dutch Rare Breed Survival trust in the mid-1970s.
The first Zwartbles were imported to the United Kingdom in the early 1990s.
A group for their farmers and owners, the Zwartbles Sheep Association, was formed in 1995.
Zwartbles are now mainly used for breeding lambs, and for their meat and wool.
Already coming from the cold, wet, windy climate in the Netherlands, they can live in good health at various altitudes in Great Britain.
Some Zwarbles are now shown in agricultural shows to be judged.
The wool of these show animals is often trimmed to remove the brown wool tips.
This leaves a tight black fleece showing as the primary colour.

Bonded labour or debt bondage (or debt slavery) is a term used to refer to a situation where someone (a debtor) has to work for the person who lent him money.
Generally, the conditions of this form of forced labour are close to slavery.
Bonded labour is one of the most common forms of modern-day slavery-like conditions.
Usually, the person working gets paid very little money in return for very hard work.
Very often, the exact amount to be re-paid is not defined clearly.
The person doing the bonded labour will never be able to pay off the debt through work.
A regular work contract will also give rights to the person being employed, and the amount of work.
In a normal working contract, difficult, dangrous or exhausting  work  will usually get paid better.
This is not the case with debt bondage.
Debt bondage is banned by the Convention of United Nation on slavery in 1956.

The Bernoulli distribution is a probability distribution.
It takes a value of 1 with probability p and a value of 0 with probability 1-p. It is sometimes written as .
It is used in probability theory and statistics.
It is named after a Swiss scientist Jacob Bernoulli.
A Bernoulli distribution is useful because it can be used to approximate the outcomes of an experiment (such as tossing a coin) as a range of percentages.
It represents a "yes or no" type experiment.
If the experiment succeeds, then it is given the value 1.
If the experiment does not succeed, it is given value 0.
This can be used, for example, in tossing a coin, where "1" means it lands on "heads", and "0" means it lands on "tails" (or the other way around).
This distribution has only one parameter, the probability of a success (p).
In fact, Bernoulli distribution is the binomial distribution with n=1, and n independent and identically distributed Bernoulli distributions also give rise to binomial distribution.
