Zero-point energy is the energy of the vacuum space, the space between the subatomic particles within atoms.
There are a few theories about how much energy there is in that space.
There is the theory that there is an incredibly small, very near-zero amount, the theory that there is zero energy there, the theory that the amount of energy is indeterminable, and the theory that a cubic centimetre of vacuum has a few levels of magnitude more energy than would be required to create the Big Bang.
If you look at the way physics is going, there are atoms, then there are subatomic particles making up atoms (e.g. electrons, protons, neutrons), then further subatomic particles making up those subatomic particles (e.g. quarks, gluons), and now there is string theory.
String theory says that those smallest subatomic particles are made of vibrating strings of energy, and that those strings have practically no actual width whatsoever.
So all the matter of the universe could be compressed into an extremely small space, hence the Big Bang theory.
If this is the case, the large energy interpretation of zero-point energy seems likely.
The term "zero-point" comes from the cooling of helium to 0 kelvin.
Even at fractions below 1 Kelvin, the helium stays fluid with no signs of freezing.

One year after the events of the first movie, Julie James and George Bronson are attending summer classes in Boston, to avoid returning to their hometown of Southport, North Carolina.
She suffers from memories and nightmares of the accident and brutal murders of her friends by the vengeful fisherman, Ben Willis, from the summer before.
Julie and George's roommate Karla Wilson receives a phone call from a local radio station, and wins an all-expenses-paid vacation to the Bahamas for the Fourth of July weekend.
Julie invites her boyfriend and George's brother, Ray Bronson.
He declines, but later changes his mind and plans to show up as a surprise and propose.
That evening, Ray and his co-worker Dave drive to Boston to meet Julie and George.
They stop due to a BMW and body in the middle of the road.
Ray discovers that the body is a mannequin dressed in fisherman's clothing.
Suddenly, Ben Willis appears and kills Dave with his hook.
Ben takes Ray's truck and chases him down the road.
The next morning, Julie, George and Karla depart on the trip with Karla's boyfriend Tyrell and their friend, Will Benson and Marlene Kennedy.
The group arrives at the hotel in Tower Bay, only to find that other guests are leaving due to the imminent hurricane season.
To her surprise, Julie is sharing a hotel room with Will and George is sharing a hotel room with Marlene.
That evening at the hotel's bar, Julie is talked into singing karaoke.
She stops when the words “I STILL KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER” roll onto the screen.
Terrified, she runs back to her room and is met by Will, who laid out flowers and a love note for her.
Julie sidesteps Will's affection for her, while Tyrell and Karla (and later Will) get into the hot tub.
Julie notices that her toothbrush is missing.
She, Marlene and George search the room and finds the dockhand Darik hanging dead in the closet.
They find Tyrell, Karla, and Will, but when they return there is no sign of Darick's body.
The hotel manager refuses to believe their story and Julie and George try to call the police, but the phone lines are dead due to the incoming hurricane.
Ben arrives at the hotel and kills the employees.
The following day, the group finds that the hotel staff and the manager have been murdered, and the two-way radio, their only way of contact, has been destroyed.
Isolated, Julie and George tell the others about the previous summer.
Tyrell suspects that Estes, the boat hand porter, is the killer, since he is the only one who cannot be found.
The group goes to Estes’ apartment, searching for clues.
They find Julie's toothbrush and Karla's hair tie, concluding Estes has been using voodoo to protect them.
Estes appears and leads them to a graveyard in the forest with the graves of Ben's wife and daughter, and two empty graves and tombstones with Julie and George's names.
Estes explains that Ben and his wife Sarah had two children: son Will and daughter Susie.
Ben murdered Sarah in the hotel room that Julie is staying in when he found out about her affair and her plans to leave him with their children.
Estes goes missing, and Will volunteers to find him.
Julie, George, Marlene, Karla, and Tyrell return to the hotel and gather supplies to defend themselves.
They head to the hotel kitchen for something to eat, and find Nancy, the bartender, hiding in the freezer.
Will finds Estes, but he attacks Will while Ray takes a boat to the island.
Ben appears and stabs Tyrell in the throat with his hook, killing him.
The girls retreat to the attic, where Karla is attacked by Ben.
They both fall through to the hotel bedroom below.
Karla runs from the room and jumps onto the greenhouse.
Julie, George, Marlene and Nancy rescue Karla and run to the storm cellar to take refuge.
They find that the storm cellar stores Ben's victims.
Will bursts in and convinces the girls to head back to the hotel, stating that he saw Ben on the beach.
Back at the hotel, Julie and George see Will is bleeding from his stomach, so Nancy takes Karla to find a first aid kit.
Nancy and Karla find Estes has been impaled with a harpoon.
Ben appears and kills Nancy.
Back in the lobby, Julie and George are tending to Will, unable to find a wound.
Will admits this is because it is not his blood.
He asks Julie what her favorite radio station is, revealing he was the radio host and killed Estes.
Will drags Julie, Marlene and George to the graveyard, and tells her he is Ben's son.
Ben appears and attacks Julie, Marlene and George.
Ray arrives, and a fight ensues between him and Will.
When Ben tries to stab Ray, he accidentally kills Will instead, after George saved Ray for getting stabbed.
While Ben is distraught from killing his son, Julie and George take two guns and shoot him in the chest.
Ben falls dead into the grave made for Julie, Marlene and George.
Back at the hotel, Karla is found alive.
The five are rescued by the coast guard.
Sometime later, Ray and Julie have married and are in their new home.
Ray is brushing his teeth before bed and Julie is in their bedroom.
The bathroom door is quietly shut and locked while Ray is occupied.
Julie sits down on her bed, looks in the mirror, and sees Ben under the bed.
She screams as Ben grabs her feet with his hook and hand and pulls her under leaving her fate unknown.

She moves from Minnesota to San Francisco with her family.
This affects a number of emotions in her head that each control her feelings, thoughts, and memories.
The five emotion characters are: Joy, Anger, Disgust, Fear, and Sadness.

After a bad series of events at her first day of school, Joy and Sadness get sucked out of Headquarters, where the 5 emotions work.
The rest of the movie consists of the other 3 emotions trying to compensate for Joy's absence but failing to.
Near the end of the movie, after Riley tries running away out of homesickness, Sadness and Joy come back.
After every emotion tried discarding Sadness in the past, she stops Riley from going back to Minnesota.

After she finishes crying, a bittersweet yellow and blue memory comes out, made by the both of them.
This is Riley's first mixed-emotion memory.
This memory makes the emotions realize that Sadness also plays an important role in Riley's life.

Anglosphere is a term used to mean the group of English-speaking nations with a similar cultural heritage.
The Anglosphere includes the United Kingdom, the United States, and the main members of the Commonwealth of Nations such as Canada (except the majority French-speaking province of Quebec and the majority Inuit-speaking territory of Nunavut), Australia and New Zealand.
Ireland, a former Commonwealth of Nations member, is in the Anglosphere.
The word means more than just those countries where English is a first or second language.
To be considered part of the Anglosphere requires sharing basic customs and values. "
Nations comprising the Anglosphere share a common historical narrative in which the Magna Carta, the English and American Bills of Rights, and such Common law principles as trial by jury, presumption of innocence".
Since the Great Rapprochement of the early 20th century, the United States and Great Britain were far more friendly than before.
Their military alliance during World War II has lasted ever since.
By the time of the 2003 Iraq war the political use of the word meant the cultural tendency towards military intervention, particularly by the US, the UK and Australia.
Strategically, the word has come to mean that the US is usually backed by Britain and Australia, but not so much by Canada.
In this sense, Canada is and sometimes is not considered a part of the Anglosphere.
This has been since the Pierre Trudeau era.
The United States of America is generally considered by many to be the dominant country in the Anglosphere.
Some go so far as to call it an Anglospherist school of thought.
This holds that English speaking countries are becoming a separate civilization in their own right.
Anglosphere theorists point out that there is no intent to build an Anglosphere superstate like the European Union.
The term was coined (used for the first time) by science fiction writer Neal Stephenson.
He used it in his novel The Diamond Age.

Active transport is when molecules move across a cell membrane from a lower concentration to a higher concentration.
This takes energy, often from adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
Active transport is done so cells get what they need, such as ions, glucose and amino acids.
In general, molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
To get molecules into the cell against the concentration gradient, work must be done.
The work is done in special proteins which act as ports in the cell membrane.
The imports must come through the ports: they cannot get through the bilipid layer of the cell membrane.
Uniporters: they use energy from ATP to pull molecules in.
Symporters: they use the movement in of one molecule to pull in another molecule against gradient.
Antiporters: one substance moves against its gradient, using energy from the second substance (mostly Na+, K+ or H+) moving down its gradient.

Caravan (travellers), a group of travellers journeying together
A caravan (from ) is a group of people traveling together.
Often they are on a trade expedition.
Caravans were used mainly in desert areas and throughout the Silk Road.
Traveling in groups aided in defense against bandits, in the same way that convoys at sea helped protect against piracy.
It also helped improve economies of scale in trade.
In the 14th century there were reports of caravans of up to 12,000 camels.
In historical times, caravans traveled across East Asia and Europe.
They often carried luxurious and lucrative goods, such as silks or jewelry.
They would trade these for salt, gold, copper or slaves.
At first donkey carts were used.
They were replaced with the single hump camel.
The camel could go great distances on very little water.
Caravans could require a large investment in goods and camels.
They were a rich target for bandits.
The profits from a successful trade journey could be great.
Many rulers along important trade routes created caravanserai (way stations).
These were places where caravans could refresh their animals and supplies can be replenished.
However, the volume a caravan could transport was limited.
For example, a caravan of 500 camels could only transport as much as a third or half of the goods carried by a regular Byzantine merchant sailing ship.
Present-day caravans still transport important goods in less-developed areas of the world.
Examples are the camel trains traversing the southern edges of the Sahara Desert.
Also, modern caravans are often made up of cars, trucks and busses.

A walking stick is a device used by many people to help keep their balance while walking.
Others use them as an accessory.
Walking sticks come in many shapes and sizes, and can be sought by collectors.
Some kinds of walking stick may be used by people with disabilities as a crutch or cane.
The walking stick has also historically been known to be used as a defensive or offensive weapon, and may conceal a knife or sword as in a swordstick.
The "tippling cane" contained a flask usually to hold a small amount of liquor.
The Quarterstaff and the Shillelagh are also walking sticks.
Medieval quarterstaff
A quarterstaff was a traditional European walking stick/weapon used from the middle age to the Early Modern period.
It was usually a
shaft of hardwood from  long.
It was used the same as a walking stick but also as a weapon.
It was later called a "short staff" as it became shorter.
The term is best known from the legends of Robin Hood.
In many versions of the story, he fights variously a monk, Little John or others with a quarterstaff.
In most versions Robin Hood loses and ends up in the stream.
From about 1550 until 1930, walking sticks were a fashion accessory.
They were not much used for walking but were more worn.
A proper lady or gentleman would never be without their walking stick or cane.
Many were elegant canes with highly decorated handles.
Sometime during the 17th century, the decorated walking stick replaced the sword carried by aristocrats as a status symbol.
Walking sticks, sometimes called a hiking stick or trekking pole, are used by hikers.
They are used for support when going uphill or downhill.
A good walking stick or pole helps hikers keep their balance while crossing streams or rocks.
Modern hiking poles are made of aluminum (or composite materials).
They can telescope to fit tall or short hikers.
Many have shock absorbers to ease back, shoulder and knee strain.
Shillelagh
A shillelagh is a wooden walking stick and club or cudgel, typically a thick knotty stick with a large knob at the top.
Many are made from oak or willow.
Some are made from the blackthorn bush.
In the British Army, blackthorn sticks are carried by commissioned officers of the Royal Irish Regiment.
The Shillelagh is associated with Ireland and Irish folklore.
The walking stick is a weapon in martial arts.
Both stick training and shinai (sword) training use the walking stick.
Some are light but shinai-weight and heavier are more common.
It can be less lethal than a sword but is deadly against a knife or similar weapons.
With practice a walking stick user can deliver a kote-man or double-strike.
Once to the wrist (holding the knife) followed instantly by a second blow to the assailant's head.
The walking stick has the added advantage it does not look like a weapon.
It looks fairly harmless.
Swordsticks and sword-canes
A sword cane was a  long thin steel blade encased in a sheath.
The sheath was the cane or, in the case of a swordstick, a walking stick.
Andrew Jackson carried a sword-cane and was known to have used it.
In many modern jurisdictions the ownership, carrying, manufacturing or trading in sword canes is restricted by law.
In some places they are considered a concealed weapon.
