The Milwaukee Bucks are an American professional basketball team in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. They play in the National Basketball Association. The current franchise owner is a group led by hedge fund managers Wesley Edens and Marc Lasry. They play their home games at the Fiserv Forum, which replaces their home of the last 30 seasons, BMO Harris Bradley Center, for 2018–19 and beyond. They won two NBA championships in 1971 and 2021.
In their 2019–20 season, the Bucks clinched a playoff berth after the team's 56th regular-season game, becoming the fastest team to clinch a playoff spot measured by the number of games played and by the calendar date (February 23) since the NBA changed its playoff format in 1984.
Gilles Deleuze (, "zheel duh-LOOZ"); 18 January 1925 – 4 November 1995) was a French philosopher. He wrote about philosophy, literature, movie, and art. His most popular books were the two parts of "Capitalism and Schizophrenia". The first part is called "Anti-Oedipus" (1972), and the second part is called "A Thousand Plateaus" (1980). Both books were written with his academic partner Félix Guattari. He also wrote "Difference and Repetition" (1968). Some people think that he is among the greatest philosophers. His work is considered very important in philosophy and art, including literary theory, semiotics, poststructuralism, and postmodernism.
In mathematical logic and computer science, lambda calculus, also λ-calculus, is a formal system (a system that can be used to figure out different logical theories and ideas). It was made to explore different ways of creating and using mathematical functions, and it lays out rules for doing this. It is also a tool for exploring recursion, and it has been used to explain what a computable function is. It was made by Alonzo Church and Stephen Cole Kleene in the 1930s. In 1936, Church used lambda calculus to show that there is no solution to the Entscheidungsproblem.
In biology, offspring are the young creation of living organisms, produced either by a single organism or, in the case of sexual reproduction, two organisms. Collective offspring may be known as a brood or progeny in a more general way. This can refer to a set of simultaneous offspring, such as the chicks hatched from one clutch of eggs, or to all the offspring, as with the honeybee.

Bangladeshi citizenship was formed in 1971. This was when the permanent residents of the former East Pakistan were transformed into citizens of a new republic. Bangladesh is the world's eighth most populous nation. The vast majority of Bangladeshis are ethnolingustically Bengalis, an Indo-Aryan people who are predominantly Muslim. The population of Bangladesh is concentrated in the fertile Bengal delta. It has been the center of urban and agrarian civilizations for millennia. The country's highlands, including the Chittagong Hill Tracts and parts of the Sylhet Division, are home to various tribal minorities.
Bengali Muslims are the predominant ethnoreligious group of Bangladesh with a population of 135.5 million. This makes up 90.4% of the country's population as of 2011. The minority Bengali Hindu population made up approximately 8.54% of the population of the country according to the 2011 Census Non-Bengali Muslims make up the largest immigrant community; while the Tibeto-Burman Chakmas, who speak the Indo-Aryan Chakma language, are the largest indigenous ethnic group after Indo-Aryan Bengalis. The Austroasiatic Santals are the largest aboriginal community.

Motörhead were an English rock band. The band was started in 1975 by bassist, singer and songwriter Ian Fraser “Lemmy” Kilmister"." They are thought to be one of the bands that started the new wave of British heavy metal in the late 1970s. The word motorhead is a name for someone who likes cars.
Motörhead played heavy metal music very fast. This was different from how other bands played it at the time. Many listeners call them the first speed metal or thrash metal band. Motörhead are a main influence on other bands that play those styles. Lemmy did not like his band being called anything other than just a rock and roll band. Fans of punk music and metal music liked Motörhead. Their songs have words about war, drug abuse, and sex. They also sing about gambling in their most popular song, "Ace of Spades".
Motörhead are famous to fans of professional wrestling for making wrestler Triple H's theme song. He started using Motörhead's music in 2000. The song is called "The Game". The band has played the song live at two WrestleMania events.
The OVC has two "associate" members—i.e., schools that play a small number of sports in the conference, usually one.
Gwoyeu Romatzyh (pinyin: "Guóyǔ luómǎzì", literally "National Language Romanization"), abbreviated GR, is a romanization of Mandarin Chinese, or a way to write Mandarin using the Roman alphabet, made by Yuen Ren Chao and some other linguists in the late 1920s. It was made as a way to write Mandarin using tonal spelling, or spelling rules that would change the syllable's spelling depending on its tone. For example, the syllable "chai" would be written as "chai" if it has the first Mandarin tone (or "chāi" in Pinyin), "chair" if it has the second tone ("chái")", chae" if it has the third tone ("chǎi")"," and "chay" if it had the fourth tone (chài). Y.R. Chao created GR in order to increase literacy in China because China's illiteracy was very high in the early 20th century. He made it that tones could be written without extra tone markers, which can be long and difficult to add when printing.
Guineafowls (; sometimes called "pet speckled hens" or "original fowl") are birds of the family Numididae in the order Galliformes. They are endemic to Africa and rank among the oldest of the gallinaceous birds. Phylogenetically, they branched off from the core Galliformes after the Cracidae (chachalacas, guans, and curassows) and before the Odontophoridae (New World quail). An Eocene fossil lineage "Telecrex" has been associated with guineafowl; "Telecrex" inhabited Mongolia, and may have given rise to the oldest of the true phasianids, such as blood pheasants and eared pheasants, which evolved into high-altitude, montane-adapted species with the rise of the Tibetan Plateau. While modern guineafowl species are endemic to Africa, the helmeted guineafowl has been introduced as a domesticated bird widely elsewhere.
The "Marcha Real" (; "The Royal March") was first published in 1761. It has sometimes been the national anthem (country's song) of Spain. When Francisco Franco ruled Spain, new lyrics were written for it. Since 1978, those words are no longer official. In 2007 a contest for new lyrics did not result in new lyrics being made official. It is one of only four national anthems in the world with no official words, only music.

Akan is a language group spoken by related peoples in mainly Ghana and eastern Côte d'Ivoire. Akan belongs to the Kwa group of the Niger-Congo language family.
Akan comprises three main mutually intelligible dialects: Fante, Asante Twi and Akwapim Twi. Asante Twi is the widely used.  Akan is the most widely spoken and used indigenous language in Ghana. About 44%, of Ghana’s population of about 22 million, speak Akan as first language. However, about 80% of Ghanaians speak Akan as a first and second language. It is officially recognized for literacy, at least at the lower primary (Primary 1-3) level, and studied at university as a bachelor or masters program. It is the most important indigenous language of Ghana. It is the language of the Western, Central, Ashanti, Eastern, Brong Ahafo regions, and the northern portion of the Volta region of Ghana.

His search takes him to Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors (Rhys Ifans), setting him on a collision course with Connors' alter ego, the Lizard.
A neoplasm (or neoplasm) is tissue that is growing where it should not be. If they become a mass, they become a tumour. Tumours are either malignant (harmful) or benign (safe). Cancer, for example is malignant and sometimes spreads to other places on the body. Some tumours have a cause that makes them grow. For some tumours no cause is known. A tumour usually forms as a lump or mass.
In mathematics, an operation is a function which takes one or more inputs (called operands) and produces an output. Some of the most common operations include addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, all of which take two inputs and produce an output. These are called binary operations, and are often used when solving math problems. Other types of operations are called unary operations, which take only one input and produce an output.
Addition is the first arithmetic operation and hyperoperation. It is the inverse operation of subtraction. The terms in an addition are called "addends", and the result of an addition is called a "sum".
Changing the order of the addends in an addition does not change its sum. This is called the "commutative property of addition".
Changing how addends are grouped in an addition does not change its sum either. This is called the "associative property of addition".
Subtraction is the second arithmetic operation and the inverse operation of addition. The number that is being subtracted is the "subtrahend" and the number it is subtracted from is the "minuend". The result of a subtraction is called a "difference".
Multiplication is the third arithmetic operation and the second hyperoperation. It is the inverse operation of division. The terms in a multiplication are called "factors", and the result of a multiplication is called a "product".
Changing the order of the factors in a multiplication does not change its product. This is called the "commutative property of multiplication".
Changing how factors are grouped in a multiplication does not change its product either. This is called the "associative property of multiplication".
The reciprocal of a number formula_34 is formula_35. A number formula_34 times its reciprocal formula_35 is always equal to 1: formula_38
To get the reciprocal of a fraction, switch the numerator and the denominator: the reciprocal of formula_40 is formula_41
Division is the fourth arithmetic operation and the inverse operation of multiplication. The number that is being divided is the "dividend" and the number it is divided by is the "divisor". The number on top of a fraction is called the "numerator" and the number at the bottom is called the "denominator". The result of a division is called a "quotient".
Exponentiation is the fifth arithmetic operation and the third hyperoperation. It is one of the inverse operations of roots and logarithms. The number that is being multiplied is the "base" and the number of times it is multiplied is the "exponent". The result of an exponentiation is called a "power".
Because of the "multiplicative identity", the first power of any number is the same number, and the zeroth power of any number is one (formula_56 and formula_57).
Roots are the sixth arithmetic operation and one of the inverse operations of exponentiation and logarithms. The first term is called the "index", and the second term is called the "radicand". The result of a root is called a "base". When there is no index, this means it is a square (2) root.
Logarithms are the seventh arithmetic operation and one of the inverse operations of exponentiation and roots. The first term is called the "base", and the second term is called the "power". The result of a logarithm is called an "exponent". When there is no base, this means it is a base 10 logarithm.
Modulation is the eighth arithmetic operation. It gives the remainder of a division. The first term is called the "modulend" and the second term is called the "modulator". The result of a modulation is called a "modulus".
formula_77\formula_34 is always equal to zero, because zero can be divided by any number (formula_85).
Factorial is a function which gives the number of ways to arrange formula_10 objects. The term is called the "index". The result of a factorial is also called a factorial.
formula_93 is equal to one because there is exactly one way of arranging 0 objects. Factorials are undefined for negative numbers. Factorials of fractional numbers can be calculated using the Gamma function.
The absolute value of formula_100 is the same as the absolute value of formula_101 (formula_102). This is because subtraction is anticommutative.

Thanos is a supervillain in the Marvel Comics universe created by Jim Startlin who was inspired by Darkseid back in 1973. He seeks to collect the six Infinity Gems and use them for his Infinity Gauntlet.
Colour is a quality made by the visual brain and so it is "not" a property of objects, despite what children are taught.
The wavelength reflected from an object is the objective fact: it does not depend upon perception. A 'red' apple does not emit red light. Rather, it simply absorbs all the frequencies of visible light shining on it except for a group of frequencies that are reflected. It is these frequencies which are "perceived" as red.
The visible light spectrum ranges from about 380 to 740 nanometers. Colors of the spectrum such as red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and violet are in this range. These spectral colors do not refer to a single wavelength, but rather to a set of wavelengths: red, 625–740 nm; orange, 590–625 nm; yellow, 565–590 nm; green, 500–565 nm; cyan, 485–500 nm; blue, 450–485 nm; violet, 380–450 nm.
With colour, vision gets better (more information) about the things the eye sees. This lets the eye see when fruit or vegetables are ripe, and can see animals hiding from plain sight. The advantage of colour vision is mainly in the daytime. At night the main problem is to collect enough light to see in the weak light. This is something rods do better than cones.
Colour vision is not an all-or-none state. Many groups of animals can distinguish colour, but in different ways. In mammals, for instance, some groups have no colour vision, and some are dichromats. The dichromats have two kinds of cones, and cannot see ultraviolet, red and orange light.
It is thought that the mammals which survived though the Jurassic period were small nocturnal or burrowing animals with little need to see colour. Later, after the extinction of the dinosaurs, many lines adapted to be more active in the daytime. Most developed a form of colour vision, which is much more useful in the daytime. Primates developed full (trichromacy) colour vision. For them, the ability to distinguish the colour of fruit from leaves always was essential.
Khmer script is the writing system used to write the Khmer (Cambodian) language. The script is an abugida. An abugida is a special type of writing system where consonants are changed to make a sound. The Khmer writing system came from other writing systems in India. It was the writing system that Thai and Lao are based on. However, Thai and Lao added tone markers to better suit their own languages, since Thai and Lao are tonal, while Khmer is not.
Khmer has 35 consonants, but 2 of them are not used anymore. There are two categories of consonants: A-series and O-series. The A-series consonants end with an -"aw" sound (/ɑː/ in IPA) but the O-series consonants end with an -"oh" sound (/ɔː/ in IPA). For instance, ក (/kɑː/, "neck") is pronounced "kaw" and គ (/kɔː/, "mute") is pronounced "koh". Both of them have the "k" sound but they end in different sounds because ក is A-series while គ is O-series.
For example, the A-series consonant ត is pronounced "taw" by itself. However, when combined with the vowel ា (which makes an -"ah" sound when added to an A-series consonant), it becomes តា ("tah", which means "grandfather").
However, the O-series consonant ទ (pronounced like the English "toe") combined with the vowel ា makes the word ទា (tee-ah) and means "duck".
There are independent vowels that do not need to be combined with a consonant. These are usually used to used to write words from Sanskrit and Pali. An example is ឧសភា (oo-sa-PEE-ah, "May"), where ឧ makes a sound like "oo" in b"oo"t.
Khmer has its own way of writing numbers. The numbers in Khmer are ០១២៣៤៥៦៧៨៩. For instance, 2022 in Khmer would be ២០២២.
Bullet Train is an upcoming action comedy movie directed by David Leitch. The movie is based on the Japanese novel "Maria Beetle" (published in English as "Bullet Train") by Kōtarō Isaka.

It was one of the first conferences with a presence in the South to accept black athletes at historically white-only schools, with Morehead State being the first OVC member to do so in 1958. The OVC was long notable as being the only conference made up of traditionally white schools to have a historically black university (HBCU) as a member, namely Tennessee State. That changed when Hampton and North Carolina A&T left the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference for the Big South Conference, respectively in 2018 and 2021. (Both moved together to the Colonial Athletic Association in 2022.)
The abbey was extended in the 1190s by Abbot John de Cella (also known as John of Wallingford) (1195–1214). The Norman west front was rebuilt by Hugh de Goldclif. It was very costly but its rapid weathering and later alterations have removed all but fragments.

Fourteen schools have been full members, but are no longer in the league. As noted earlier, former full member Murray State remains an OVC associate member.
The OVC has had major membership changes in recent years. In 2021, it lost founding member Eastern Kentucky, plus Jacksonville State, to the ASUN Conference. A year later, three more members left, with Austin Peay moving to the ASUN, and founding member Murray State and Belmont joining the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC). However, since the MVC does not play football, Murray State will play the 2022 football season in the OVC before moving the football team to the Missouri Valley Football Conference in 2023. (The MVFC is separate from, but closely related to, the MVC.) Murray State will remain a member in rifle after it otherwise leaves the OVC.
The OVC responded by adding three new members in 2022. The University of Arkansas at Little Rock, athletically known as Little Rock, joined from the Sun Belt Conference. It does not have a football team. The other new members started transitions from NCAA Division II. Lindenwood University plays football; the University of Southern Indiana does not.
In February 2022, the OVC and Big South announced they would merge their football leagues after the 2022 season. The conferences have not announced whether the merged league will be operated by one conference or the other, or become fully separate. Also, shortly after the 2022 membership changes took effect, the OVC and Horizon League merged their men's tennis leagues under the Horizon's banner.

The Second Family of the United States is the family of the Vice President of the United States, who is second highest executive officer of the federal government of the United States. Members of the second family consist of the vice president, the second lady or second gentleman of the United States, and any of their children. However, other close relatives of the vice president and second spouse, such as parents, grandchildren, stepchildren, and in-laws etc, may be classified as members of the second family if they reside in the Number One Observatory Circle.
In the United States, the term "second family" in casual reference to the vice president's immediate family, is most often used by the media. Individually, each member of the second family is designated a Secret Service codename by the United States Secret Service. Used by special agents, these code names uniquely identify members of the second family for their ongoing protection as well as for the sake of brevity, clarity and tradition.
Kamala Harris, the 49th and current Vice President of the United States and her immediate family is the current Second Family of the United States since January 20, 2021.

The Mezquita (Spanish for "mosque") of Cordoba is a Roman Catholic cathedral. It used to be a mosque in the Andalusian city of Córdoba, Spain. At first the site had been used for a temple, then a Christian cathedral. Under the rule of Islam, it was built as the second-largest mosque in the world. It is perhaps the most accomplished monument of the Umayyad dynasty of Cordoba. It changed into mosque in Middle Ages. After the Spanish Reconquista, it was changed back into a church, and some of the Islamic columns and arcs were replaced by a basilica in early Baroque style. Today it houses the main church of the diocese of Cordoba in Spain.
VY Canis Majoris is 1,420 times bigger than the Sun. If placed at the center of the Solar System (where the Sun is), VY Canis Majoris's surface would extend beyond Jupiter's orbit. However, there is some differences in the estimates of how big it is. Other estimates of the radius make it bigger than the orbit of Saturn.

URL shortening is a technique on the World Wide Web in which a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) may be made substantially shorter in length and still direct to the required page. This is achieved by using an HTTP Redirect on a domain name that is short, which links to the web page that has a long URL. For example, the URL <nowiki>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL_shortening</nowiki> can be shortened to <nowiki>http://wrapr.co/GvR7j</nowiki>, <nowiki>http://evg.in/az41</nowiki> or <nowiki>http://evg.in/urlwiki</nowiki>. This is especially convenient for messaging technologies such as Twitter and Identi.ca, which severely limit the number of characters that may be used in a message. Short URLs allow otherwise long web addresses to be referred to in a tweet. In November 2009, the shortened links on one URL shortening service were accessed 2.1 billion times.

Lyrick Studios, Inc., made in 1988 as The Lyons Group, was an American video production and distribution company based in Allen, Texas, a suburb in Dallas. They were known for producing and distributing shows like "Barney & Friends" and "Wishbone," as well as videos and albums from two music artists, "Joe Scruggs" and "The Wiggles." They also had book rights to Humongous Entertainment characters like "Putt-Putt", "Freddi Fish", and "Pajama Sam". They paired with Big Idea for mass market distribution of prints and reprints of "VeggieTales" home videos, as well as rights to "VeggieTales" plush toys.
In 1988, The Lyons Group was formed as a division of DLM, Inc., an educational company owned by Richard C. Leach. Lyons began producing and distributing a direct-to-video series titled "Barney and the Backyard Gang", which was created by Leach's daughter-in-law, Sheryl Leach. Three years after the home video series debuted, Barney caught the attention of executives at PBS, and the concept was then changed for television as "Barney & Friends". The show started broadcasting on the organization's flagship television service on April 6, 1992.
Lyrick Studios was formed in 1994, and The Lyons Group became a division of a new company under the name Lyons Partnership.
The company made the series "Wishbone" for PBS in 1995. This series was produced by Big Feats! Entertainment, another division of the company, and was primarily filmed on a studio backlot in Allen, Texas.
In the late 1990s, Lyrick got the distribution (selling) rights for "VeggieTales" and "The Wiggles." They also had book and video game distribution rights for some Humongous Entertainment video game characters, such as "Putt-Putt", "Freddi Fish", and "Pajama Sam".
According to Phil Vischer, he chose the company to release the videos since Lyrick Studios' founder and former chairman Richard C. Leach was a committed Christian, and the company let the religious tones on the shows remain intact, unlike other distributors Big Idea had asked beforehand. The company was acquired by HiT Entertainment on February 9, 2001, shortly before Richard C. Leach died.
In 2002, Big Idea turned to Warner Home Video to serve as their new mass market distributor; HiT responded to this by filing a lawsuit against them for $11 million, which was one of the major causes of Big Idea's 2003 bankruptcy with ""The Ultimate Silly Song Countdown"". The home video division of the company was rebranded under the HIT Entertainment name and remained trading until at the end of 2006, when HIT shuttered the division and began to release products in the United States through outside third-parties instead.

Their story is told in CP Lee's book "When We Were Thin" . The name of the band is a corruption of the Latin American band "Alberto y Los Trios Paraguayos". Actor Mike Myers described Albertos as "Monty Python meets XTC". They funded by The Police, The Clash and Queen.
Created in 1973 by Chris "C.P." Lee (vocals, guitar, bass), with Jimmy Hibbert (vocals, bass) and Bob Harding (vocals, guitar, bass, keyboards), the comedy sketch outfit became a musical group in 1974 and was joined by drummer Bruce Mitchell (drums), with Les Prior (vocals), Simon White (steel guitar, guitar) and Tony Bowers (vocals, bass, guitar). They became a popular support act, supporting Dr. Feelgood on their 1974 tour and Supertramp, Yes and Thin Lizzy on their 1975 tour. The group mercilessly parodied the major rock names of the 1970s – "Anadin" was a sendup of Lou Reed's "Heroin". By 1975 they were topping the bill in their own right and were supported by such acts as The Police, The Stranglers, Devo, Ian Dury and the Blockheads, The Buzzcocks, The Cure, The Jam, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Robyn Hitchcock, John Dowie, The Smirks, Split Enz, The Slits, Richard Hell and the Voidoids, The Dictators, John Otway, Squeeze, XTC and Blondie. They were promoted by Noddy Holder and Freddie Mercury. As with many comedy ensembles, the Albertos belied their comic aspirations by their exemplary musicianship, and they released four albums and a variety of spoof discs, culminating in the musical play, "Snuff Rock".
"Sleak (aka Snuff Rock)", inspired by the then recent film, "Snuff", and the concept of snuff movies, but carrying the idea to a band who killed themselves for entertainment, was their musical play presented at London's Royal Court Theatre and Round House and was famous for the role of the comic disc jockey played by Les Prior. They reached the UK Singles Chart with the accompanying EP, "Snuff Rock", released on Stiff Records, poked fun at the punk rock phenomenon, targeting the Sex Pistols ("Gobbing On Life"), The Damned ("Kill") and The Clash ("Snuffin' Like That") as well as myriad reggae bands in "Snuffin' In A Babylon". Tony Bowers and Bob Harding left the band on 29 July 1978, and they were replaced by John Scott (vocals, bass, guitar, saxophone, keyboards) (ex John Cooper Clarke and Jilted John) and Ged Green (vocals, guitar, bass, keyboards) in August 24, 1978. They reached the UK Singles Chart with the Status Quo spoof, "Heads Down No Nonsense Mindless Boogie" in 1978. Les Prior died in January 31, 1980 from leukaemia, which left a large gap in the group. Ged Green left the band in April 25, 1980, he was replaced by Ian Morris ("Mog") (vocals, bass) (ex The Smirks) in May 29, 1980.
After their nationally networked TV show "Teach Yourself Gibberish", their cassette album with "Radio Sweat" and crack at America with Sleak (they met with Joan Jett and Pete Shelley in New York, who were saw their show, at the time), the Albertos disbanded in 1982.
The band's brand of spoof rock has been said to be in the same English tradition as that of the Barron Knights and the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, but a better comparison might be the American geek rock band Austin Nerdy Scientists. Many fans of Albertos such as Rik Mayall, Ade Edmondson, Robin Williams, Mike Myers, Weird Al Yankovic and Phil Jupitus.
