A particle speed probability distribution indicates which speeds are more likely: a particle will have a speed selected randomly from the distribution, and is more likely to be within one range of speeds than another.
The distribution depends on the temperature of the system and the mass of the particle.
The Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution applies to the classical ideal gas, which is an idealization of real gases.
In real gases, there are various effects (e.g., van der Waals interactions, vortical flow, relativistic speed limits, and quantum exchange interactions) that can make their speed distribution different from the Maxwell–Boltzmann form.
However, rarefied gases at ordinary temperatures behave very nearly like an ideal gas and the Maxwell speed distribution is an excellent approximation for such gases.
For this reason, it forms the basis of the Kinetic theory of gases, which provides a simplified explanation of many fundamental gaseous properties, including pressure and diffusion.

Hértevin language (in Hértevin: ܣܘܪܬ Sôreth) is an Aramaic or Syriac language that was originally spoken in a group of villages in the southeastern part of Turkey.
It is especially in Siirt Province.
Speakers of Hértevin Aramaic have moved mostly to Western countries, and are now scattered and isolated from one another.
A few speakers remain in Turkey.

He modernized the Empire during his reign, by for example building many railways, schools and hospitals.
He also seeked to unify the Muslims in the Empire under Pan-Islamism as opposed to others wanting to unify the Empire under Ottomanism.
Brain death means that the brain has stopped working.
Brain death is permanent, and cannot be cured or reversed.
No treatment can help.
When a person is brain dead, there is no activity in any part of their brain.
Every part of the brain is dead; no oxygen flows to the brain, and there is no electrical activity in any part of the brain.
The brain controls everything we need to do to stay alive.
For example, it controls breathing, body temperature, heart rate, and many other important things.
When a person is brain dead, their brain cannot control any of these things.
A brain-dead person cannot breathe on their own.
They will never be able to wake up or be aware of what is going on around them.
Sometimes, brain-dead people are kept alive with special machines and medications.
For example, doctors can put a tube down a person's throat and use a machine called a ventilator to pump oxygen into their lungs.
While these machines can keep the person's other organs alive for a while, they cannot help the brain get better.
Eventually, the person's other organs will stop working too.
Doctors can diagnose brain death by examining the patient.
They will check for reflexes which are controlled by the brainstem, and see if the person can breathe on their own.
If the person is brain-dead, the doctor will find:
The person has no reflexes (for example, they do not gag when the doctor touches the back of their throat)
The person's pupils do not change size in bright light or in the dark
The person does not move or react when the doctor does something painful (like pinching the person's skin)
The person does not try to breathe on their own
Before diagnosing brain death, doctors will check for any other problem that could look like brain death (for example, a very low body temperature, or an overdose of sedatives).
They will usually wait six to 24 hours before checking again to make sure the person still has no signs of activity in the brain.
Then a second doctor is called in to do the same tests.
If both doctors agree, the patient can officially be diagnosed "brain dead."
Immediate diagnosis
Sometimes, doctors use other tests which can diagnose brain death right away.
EEG, which records the electrical activity in the brain.
A brain-dead person will have no electrical activity in their brain.
Brain scans like CT scans.
A brain-dead person will have no blood flowing to their brain.
Brain death happens because of an injury to the entire brain.
The most common causes are:
A very bad head injury
A stroke which cut off the brain's oxygen supply or caused bleeding in the brain
Swelling in the brain, either from an infection like encephalitis, or from the brain not getting enough oxygen.
Swelling or bleeding in the brain can cut off blood flow to the brain and push on the brainstem.
If it gets bad enough, it can crush the brainstem.

Luis Guillermo Solís Rivera (born 25 April 1958) is a Costa Rican politician.
He was the President of Costa Rica from 2014 to 2018.
Interrogation (also called questioning) generally means formally or informally interviewing a person to gain needed information of some kind.
Interrogations are used by military organizations, intelligence agencies and law enforcement agencies worldwide.
Sometimes the interrogated person is suspected of committing a crime or thought to have a reason to hide the information.
The questioner in criminal and military interrogations is often an officer trained in different interrogation techniques.
Depending on how they view the person being questioned or the purpose of the interrogation, the methods used may vary widely.
The person being questioned may be a witness and may give information freely.
The person being interrogated may be suspected of a crime and the goal is a confession.
The person being questioned is not a suspect, but may not want to give any information.
Interrogation questions
An interrogation may often begin with several closed-ended questions.
Examples would be "are you comfortable" or "would you like a cigarette"?
The intent is for the interviewer to control the conversation and put the person being interrogated at ease.
Let them think they are not in any trouble.
Next may follow asking narrative questions to find out what the person knows about a subject.
Next, the interrogator may ask direct questions.
Throughout the interview interrogators may ask "cross-questions".
These are the same question asked in different ways and at different times during the interview to see if the person being questioned answers them the same every time.
The Reid technique
A method taught to police interrogators since the 1970s is called the Reid technique.
It was named for a Chicago police officer who developed it in the 1940s.
It is widely used in North America because it gets confessions; sometimes false confessions.
It is based on outdated psychology that maintains if a person shows stress they are lying.
Unfortunately most people show stress when in stressful conditions.
Suspects are questioned, often by teams of police officers.
The Good cop/bad cop routine seen on police procedural shows is an example of the Reid technique.
The police use this method to convince a suspect that confessing to the crime (whether they are guilty or not) is the best way out for the suspect.
Many false confessions have been obtained this way resulting in false inprisonments.
Informal questioning
A police officer may stop and question a person at any time.
They do not need to give a Miranda warning before informal questioning or before making an arrest.
But any information gained this way is not admissible at a trial against the person.
Miranda required advising a person of their rights before being question in police custody.
If the person asks the officer if they are free to leave, they are not in custody.
That is one of the few things a police officer may not lie about.
During questioning police may use trickery, lying or other forms of deception in order to get a confession from a suspect.
PEACE method
A fairly new technique is being used in the UK, Denmark, New Zealand and other places.
The word PEACE is an acronym for Preparation and Planning, Engage and Explain, Account, Closure and Evaluate.
It is considered a more ethical model of police questioning.
It is intended to prevent wrongful convictions by eliminating any coercion or deceptive methods.
When tested in England and Wales, it resulted in the same percentage of convictions as the older methods produced.
Peace is more of a journalistic approach.
It assumes a liar will find it increasingly difficult to keep all the lies consistent and will eventually break down and confess.
Third degree
A historic method of obtaining confessions is the applying of the so-called third degree.
It consists of treating a suspect brutally, keeping them awake for long periods of time with no food or water.
Beatings were given along with threats.
Often a suspect confessed to stop the abuse.
The suspect was then forced to sign a paper saying he was not intimidated or coerced into giving his statement.
In 1937, the court threw out a confession upon learning it was not given voluntarily but the defendant had been hung from a tree and whipped until he confessed.
Even though it is a serious breach of most international agreements, torture is still used by some police, military and intelligence services.
Torture is prohibited under international law, but it is still used.
In 2014 the Senate Intelligence Committee found that the Central Intelligence Agency tortured terror suspects.

The Church of God, International (CGI) is a denomination of Christianity.
It is one of many denominations to come out of the Worldwide Church of God (WCG).
CGI was started in 1978 by four members of the Worldwide Church of God, with minister Garner Ted Armstrong (1930-2003) Garner Ted was excommunicated from the WCG by his father, Herbert W. Armstrong.
They argued about beliefs and about how the church should be run.
CGI began in Tyler, Texas.
Garner Ted also started the Garner Ted Armstrong Evangelistic Association.
Garner Ted Armstrong led CGI until 1998.
Church leaders tried to start a church where the ministers acted as servants to the people.
They thought the ministers in the WCG had abused their power over the people.
In 1998 Garner Ted Armstrong himself was forced to leave CGI by church leaders.
He was accused of sexual assault.
Mr. Armstrong left CGI and started the Intercontinental Church of God.
Ronald L. Dart, an important leader in CGI also left to start a church called Christian Educational Ministries (CGI).
After this, leaders in the CGI tried to move forward and continue "the work".
Now, leaders and ministers share power with a "Ministerial Council".
The chairman of the Council is elected every three years.
Charles Groce served as Chief Executive Officer for the church until 27 June 2015.
Vance Stinson is now chairman.
The Council also started a program to train new leaders called MAP (Ministerial Apprentice Program).
CGI tries to keep a good relationship with many of the other churches that left the Worldwide Church of God.
It is a "Ministry Partnership" with a some of them.
Faith and worship
The CGI believes that some Christian beliefs have been wrongly changed long ago, only a couple hundred years after Christ.
These wrong ideas turned into traditions.
CGI tries to worship the way they believe Christ wanted.
CGI believes that the pagans worshipped demons without knowing it.
So, they don't worship holidays that started out as pagan, like Halloween and Christmas.
This also includes Valentine's Day and New Year's Day.
CGI does not believe in the Trinity.
It believes the Holy Spirit is the spirit or power of God and of Jesus Christ.
It does not believe the Holy Spirit is a person.
It believes God "the Father" and Jesus Christ are two spirits in the "God family".
It believes this was how the early church believed and worshipped.
Why mankind: CGI believes Christians can become part of the family of God.
When they die, they will become spirit and a son or daughter of God.
They believe this is because God is making spirits like himself.
CGI does not believe the soul stays awake after a person dies.
They believe the dead sleep until woken up by God at the resurrection.
God will give them a new body.
CGI believes this is how the early church believed.
CGI believes Christ came to teach about his future kingdom.
CGI does not believe people will go to heaven when they die.,
but will be resurrected to live and rule with Christ.
This will happen during the Millenium, when Christ returns.
CGI believes they will rule the universe with Christ in time, as part of the "God Family".
CGI believes Christ came to pay the price for sin, but the law must still be kept.
For example, if a judge says you do not have to pay a fine, you still have to keep the law afterward.
They believe laws in the Old Testament still must be kept, because the Bible says these laws are from God, not from the Jews.
So they do no work on the Sabbath on Saturday, from Friday sunset until Saturday sunset.
They also do not eat pork or certain fish which they call "unclean".
They also observe Old Testament holidays.
and forbid all sexual sins.
They do not obey laws in the Old Testament which were about how God was to be approached then (through animal sacrifices).
They believe Christ makes anyone able to approach God.
CGI does not follow Jewish traditions which it does not believe is in the Bible.
It does not believe physical circumcision is important spiritually.
CGI does not believe that God replaced the Jews with the church.
CGI believes the law of God is good, and make men good.
It believes the law of God can teach and make life happy and full.
But they believe salvation is a free gift which cannot be earned.
CGI believes this is how the early church worshipped.
CGI believes that the Ten Commandments were given by God to man long before Moses.
CGI believes Hell is a pagan idea.
They believe the Bible says the wicked are destoyed forever by God.
CGI believes in more than one resurrection.
It believes that those who die and do not know or understand the truth about God will be given time to learn after a Second Resurrection to a new physical life.
If they continue to reject God, He will destroy them forever in the Lake of Fire.
Like many Christian churches, CGI believes in tithing as an act of worship and to support the work of the church.
CGI believes another 10 percent should be used to observe holidays, especially the Feast of Tabernacles.
Message and media
CGI has churches in the United States, Canada, Jamaica, Ireland, Australia and the Philippines.
CGI has a television program called Armor of God.
It also has Prevail Magazine, which discusses Christian living.
The church also has a newspaper which comes out every three months called The International News.
This newspaper discusses beliefs, worship, prophecy, church news, and world news.
The church also supports a program for young people ages 18–30 called Infuse.
This includes a quarterly magazine, a website, and service activities for local churches and communities.
The program is run by volunteers and includes older people who support the program.
It is also open to young people in other churches.

Anti-Federalism refers to a diverse group of Americans who opposed the ratification of the 1787 United States Constitution.
Anti-Federalists believed a strong central government could become corrupt and tyrannical, as they believed England had become.
They wanted a weak central government just as they had with the Articles of Confederation.
One of the many points that the Anti-Federalists disagreed with the Federalists was that the Constitution did not have a Bill of Rights.
Federalists argued the Constitution did not need a Bill of Rights, but agreed finally to add several amendments to the Constitution.
The House of Representatives approved 17 amendments.
The Senate passed on 12 of these for ratification by the states.
Of the 12, 10 were ratified by the 13 states, becoming known as the United States Bill of Rights.
Virginia was the last to ratify the amendments on December 15, 1791.
Lateral roots are plant roots that extend horizontally from the main root (radicle).
They serve to anchor the plant securely to the soil.
The branching of roots helps water uptake.
With the water comes similar required

Nixa is a city in Christian County, Missouri, United States.
As of the 2010 census, the city population was 19,022.
The area was first settled by farmers who located their farms along the wooded streams near present day Nixa.
Many people traveled through Nixa, because it was a half-day ride with a team of horses from Springfield.
Wagon drivers found it a convenient stopover site when hauling freight between Springfield and Arkansas.
The community was first known as "Faughts".
An early resident, Nicholas A. Inman, was a blacksmith from Tennessee who set up a shop in 1852.
When a post office was opened, a town meeting was held to decide on a name for the community.
Because of his years of service to the community it was suggested the town be named for him.
Another suggestion was to call it "nix" because the community was "nothing but a crossroads".
It was finally decided to take the name Nix and add the first letter of Inman's middle name, "a", to get the unique name Nixa.
The village of Nixa incorporated on June 10, 1902.
Nixa is located at  (37.045253, -93.298755).
The modern day city rests on and around seven hills.
All the schools in Nixa are public.
Currently, the Nixa R-2 School District operates four elementary schools for students in kindergarten through fourth grade.
These are Matthews, Espy, Century, and the newest, High Pointe Elementary (named so because it sits on the highest elevation in Christian County), opened in August 2007.
There are also two intermediate schools for students in the fifth and sixth grades—Inman and Summit.
There is one junior high school and one high school.
There is also a magnet school for Kindergarten through 6th grade- John Thomas School of Discovery (JTSD).
The old Main Street Elementary School building has become an administration building, named Faught Administration Center.
The district is widely considered one of the best school districts in Missouri.
The district has received the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education's Distinction in Performance Award for each of the last five years.
Its Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) scores surpassed state averages in all 10 assessments.
Nixa High School is ranked one of the best in the nation by U.S. News & World Report.

"Rocky Road to Dublin" is an Irish folk song.
The song was made in the 19th century by the composer D. K. Gavan.
It tells a story about a man who is going from his home in Tuam, Ireland to Liverpool, England.
It is a hard song to play and needs a lot of practice.

In the game, players control a human child who has fallen into the Underground, a large and out-of-the-way place under a mountain, separated from the rest of the world by a magic wall called the Barrier.
The player meets many kinds of monsters as they try to return to the surface, mainly through the fighting system; the player takes turns selecting actions and avoiding attacks made of many bullets, and can choose to befriend or subdue monsters so that they won't get killed.
The player's choices change many things in the game, including how characters act, and what kind of story it is.
Fox developed almost the whole game by himself.
He wrote the words and made the music by himself, and only used a few pieces of extra art given to him by other artists.
The game was inspired by the Mother and Mario & Luigi role-playing series, the "bullet hell" shooter series Touhou Project, and the British comedy show Mr. Bean.
Undertale was originally meant to be two hours long and released in mid-2014, but creating the game took over three years, making the story longer and not making the game available until much later.
The game was released on Steam for Microsoft Windows and OS X on September 15, 2015.
When it was released, the game was praised for its writing, themes, easy-to-learn fighting system, music, and original ideas; with praise directed towards its story, dialogue, and characters.
The game sold over a million copies, and was nominated for many honors and awards, including Game of the Year from many gaming news sources, winning others from conventions including South by Southwest.
Undertale is a role-playing game that shows everything from above.
In the game, players control a child and finish tasks in order to go forward in the story.
Players explore an underground world of towns and areas, and must solve many puzzles on the way.
The underground world is the home of monsters, many of whom fight the player; players decide to fight, run away, act, or make friends with them.
When players meet enemies in either scripted events or random encounters, they enter a battle mode.
During battles, players control a small red heart which represents their soul, and must avoid attacks shot by the monster(s) in a way much like a bullet hell shooter.
Later the game, new types of gameplay are shown.
These include blue-colored bullets that only hurt when the player is moving, or orange bullets that only hurt when staying still.
Boss battles often introduce these coloured bullet mechanics.
Players can use the FIGHT option to attack, which involves timed button presses.
Players can also use the ACT option to do many different actions, which are different for each enemy, usually for a peaceful resolution.
Players can also use the ITEM option to eat food to heal, or to put on weapons or armor.
Players can also use the MERCY option to spare enemies or run away.
Monsters can be spared only if they have been beaten up enough to make them weak and unable to fight, or if they have been pleased by the right actions.
In order for some boss battles to be completed without involving murder, the player must survive until the character they are facing has finished their dialogue.
The game has many story branches and endings depending on whether players choose to murder or spare their enemies; and as such, it is possible to clear the game without murdering a single enemy.
Players earn EXP and gold for killing monsters.
Monsters will talk with players during the battles, and the game will often tell the players what the monster's feelings and actions are.
Enemy attacks can change based on how players interact with them: if the player chooses non-violent options, enemy attacks are easy, but they become harder if players choose violent options.
The game uses many metafictional elements in both its gameplay and story.
When players play in a boss battle more than once, the dialogue will change depending on actions from the times they played the battle before.
In late October 2018, Toby fox hinted at the release of a new game called Deltarune, which was released on 31 October, on his Twitter page.
This new game is set in a similar world to Undertale and is familiar to previous players of Undertale.
It follows the story of a human, a monster and a "darkner" to bring balance to the world.
Currently, only Chapter 1 and 2 have been released; Fox plans to create a development team and release the full game, with one ending only, when it is complete.

A rank correlation is any statistic that measures the relationship between rankings.
A "ranking" is the assignment of "first", "second", "third", etc.
to different observations of a variable.
A rank correlation coefficient measures the degree of similarity between two rankings.
One might test for do colleges with a higher-ranked basketball program tend to have a higher-ranked football program?
A quite important question is do people with higher-ranked education tend to get higher levels of income?
Spearman's ρ
Kendall's τ
Goodman and Kruskal's γ
An increasing rank correlation coefficient implies increasing agreement between rankings.
The coefficient is inside the interval [−1, 1] and assumes the value:
1 if the agreement between the two rankings is perfect; the two rankings are the same.
0 if the rankings are completely independent.
−1 if the disagreement between the two rankings is perfect; one ranking is the reverse of the other.
Kerby simple difference formula
Kerby showed that this rank correlation can be expressed in terms of two figures: the percent of data that support a stated hypothesis, and the percent of data that do not support it.
The Kerby simple difference formula states that the rank correlation can be expressed as the difference between the proportion of favorable evidence (f) minus the proportion of unfavorable evidence (u).
An illustration
Suppose a coach trains long-distance runners for one month using two methods.
Group A has 5 runners, and Group B has 4 runners.
The hypothesis is that method A produces faster runners.
The race to assess the results finds that the runners from Group A do indeed run faster, with the following ranks: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6.
The slower runners from Group B thus have ranks of 5, 7, 8, and 9.
The analysis is done on pairs, a member of one group compared to a member of the other group.
For example, the fastest runner in the study is a member of four pairs: (1,5), (1,7), (1,8), and (1,9).
All four of these pairs support the hypothesis, because in each pair the runner from Group A is faster than the runner from Group B.  There are a total of 20 pairs, and 19 pairs support the hypothesis.
The only pair which does not support the hypothesis are the two runners with ranks 5 and 6, because in this pair, the runner from Group B had the faster time.
By the Kerby simple difference formula, 95% of the data support the hypothesis (19 of 20 pairs), and 5% do not support (1 of 20 pairs), so the rank correlation is r = .95 - .05 = .90.
The maximum value for the correlation is r = 1, which means that 100% of the pairs favor the hypothesis.
A correlation of r = 0 indicates that half the pairs favor the hypothesis and half do not.
An effect size of r = 0 describes no relationship between group membership and the members' ranks.
A physical disability is a condition that limits the way the body works.
For example, a physical disability may limit the way a part of the body grows, moves, or does what it is supposed to do.
Types of physical disabilities
Congenital disabilities
A congenital disability is a disability that a baby has when they are born, or had before they were born.
These disabilities used to be called "birth defects."
The most common congenital disability is congenital heart disease - problems in the way the heart grows and works.
In 2013, 34.3 million people around the world had congenital heart disease.
Congenital heart disease also causes more deaths than any other congenital disability.
In 2013, it caused 323,000 deaths.
Spina bifida, a problem with the way the spinal cord formed while a fetus was growing
Microcephaly, where the baby's head is smaller than usual
Problems with the way the brain, spinal cord, kidneys, or gastrointestinal system grew while a fetus was developing
Inherited disabilities
Some types of congenital disabilities are genetic.
This means the disability was "inherited," or passed down to a person, through their parents' genes.
Acquired disabilities
Acquired disabilities are disabilities that people get ("acquire") after they are born.
Often they are caused by injuries or illnesses.
Examples of acquired physical disabilities include:
Paralysis, caused by an injury to the spinal cord
Brain injury, caused by a head injury or an illness (like an infection in the brain)
Amputation of a body part because of injury or illness
Chronic back pain from on-the-job injuries
Chronic medical problems like epilepsy, congestive heart failure, kidney failure, and cancer
Famous people with physical disabilities
There have been many famous people with physical disabilities.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who was the United States President from 1933-1945.
He was paralyzed from the waist down from polio.
King George VI, who was King of England from 1936-1952.
He had a speech disorder (stuttering).
Winston Churchill, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940-1945 and 1951-1955, also stuttered.
John F. Kennedy, who was the United States President from 1961-1963.
He had many painful health problems caused by Addison's disease and hypothyroidism.
James Earl Jones, Emily Blunt, Hugh Grant, Samuel L. Jackson, and Bruce Willis all have stutters.
Michael J. Fox has Parkinson's disease.
Neil Young,| Lil Wayne, and Prince all have epilepsy.
Stephen Hawking, an award-winning physicist and writer who is paralyzed from motor neurone disease.

A tachometer is a sensor that measures the rotation speed of an object, for example a wheel or shaft.
There are different methods to do so (for example, mechanical, optical, or magnetic).
Most tachometers display the measurement in revolutions per minute.
The plain view doctrine allows law enforcement officers to collect evidence or contraband found in plain view while they are lawfully present.
It is an exception to items spelled out in a search warrant and to the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches and seizures.
The doctrine is based on the United States Supreme Court decision Horton v. California.
The court held that the Fourth Amendment does not prohibit warrantless seizures of any evidence which is in plain view.
Horton test
the item must be in plain view of the officer,
the officer must lawfully be in the place where he discovered the evidence, and
the incriminating nature of the evidence must be immediately apparent.
In order for an officer to seize an item, the officer must have probable cause to believe the item is evidence of a crime or is contraband.
In Arizona v. Hicks (1987), the officer was found to have acted unlawfully.
While investigating a shooting, the officer moved—without probable cause—stereo equipment to record the serial numbers.
They also seized three weapons and a stocking-cap mask.
The court granted the defendants motion to suppress all the evidence that had been seized because his Fourth Amendment rights had been violated.
The plain view doctrine has also been expanded to include the sub doctrines of plain feel, plain smell, and plain hearing.
Digital searches
In committing crimes, criminals routinely use computers and mobile devices.
The courts have so far allowed law enforcement a broad authority to examine all files on computers in search of illegal materials.

The New York metropolitan area is the city and suburbs of New York City.
It includes Long Island and the Mid- and Lower Hudson Valley in the state of New York.
It also includes north and central New Jersey, three counties in western Connecticut and five counties in northeastern Pennsylvania.
The New York metropolitan area is the most populous in US.
This includes the numbers defined by both the Metropolitan Statistical Area (20.1 million residents) and the Combined Statistical Area (23.6 million residents).
It is also one of the most populous built-up areas in the world, and the single largest in North America.
A warrant is a writ that permits someone to take a specific legal action.
Most often the writ is from a judge.
It is used by law enforcement to take actions such as searching for evidence, making an arrest or seizing property.
In the United States, in order for police and other law enforcement personnel to search for evidence, they need a warrant.
They must also have probable cause (a good reason to believe they will find evidence of a crime).
A search warrant must be signed by a judge or magistrate.
The officer must provide a sworn statement of fact called an affidavit.
