A saw is a tool for cutting wood or other material, consisting of a serrated blade (a blade with the cutting edge dentated or toothed) and worked either by hand or by steam, water, electric or other power. The saw can also be used — or abused — for playing music. Though Greek mythology indicates Perdix, the nephew of Daedalos, the inventor of the saw, unearthed constructed wooden artifacts from Ancient and Predynastic Egypt suggest possibly a much earlier date (see [1], Predynastic Egypt). Saw - Saw Ter ...

The effects of the legitimization of Christianity, and the Roman public's reaction to it, were mixed. For the Christians themselves, it was an unprecedented boon. After the Edict of Milan, all manner of new avenues were opened to Christians, including the right to compete with pagan Romans in the traditional cursus honorum for high government positions, and greater acceptance into general civil society. New churches were allowed to be constructed, including the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre i ...

The Ferengi originate from the planet Ferenginar, in the center of the Ferengi Alliance located in the Alpha Quadrant. Precisely what the Ferengi Alliance consisted of was never revealed; it may simply encompass Ferenginar and any uninhabited planets that the Ferengi have colonized, since there was little indication that the Ferengi government exercised authority over any species other than its own. Ferengi culture is based entirely on commerce, and the 285 Rules of Acquisition comprise the sacred code on which all of Ferengi society ...

In a fictional world where genetic engineering of humans is common and DNA plays the primary role in determining social class, Vincent (Hawke) is conceived and born without the aid of this technology. Suffering from the nearly-eradicated physical dysfunctions of nearsightedness and a congenital heart defect, as well as being given a life expectancy of 30 years, Vincent faces extreme discrimination and prejudice. The only way he can achieve his life-long dream of becoming an astronaut is to impersonate someone else. He assumes the identity of ...

Esperanto - Classification. As a constructed language, Esperanto is not genealogically related to any ethnic language. Esperanto can be described as "a language lexically predominantly romanic, morphologically intensively agglutinative and to a certain degree isolating in character" (Blanke 1985). The phonology, grammar, vocabulary, and semantics are based on the western Indo-European languages. The phonemic inventory is essentially Slavic, as is much of the semantics, while the vocabulary derives primaril ...

In public policy debates, the assertion that there exists a consensus of scientists in a particular field is often used as an argument for the validity of a theory and as support for a course of action. Similarly arguments for a lack of scientific consensus are often encouraged by sides who stand to gain from a more ambiguous policy. As an example, there are those involved in the debate over global warming who take the stand that "scientific consensus" supports the idea that human activity is drastically altering the environmen ...

The Declaration of Boulogne [1] of 1905 limited changes to Esperanto. That declaration stated, among other things, that the basis of the language should remain the Fundamento de Esperanto ("Foundation of Esperanto", a group of early works by Zamenhof), which is to be binding forever: nobody has the right to make changes to it. The declaration also permits new concepts to be expressed as the speaker sees fit, ...

None of the various Bahá'í authorities have ever specified what language it should be used as the international auxiliary language. Bahá'u'lláh and `Abdu'l-Bahá have mentioned virtue in Arabic, Esperanto, and English, but it is understood by Bahá'ís that it will be decided in the future, by an appointed committee whose members are invested with this authority by the world's governments. Whatever language is eventually chosen--whether a natural language like English, Spanish and Arabic, or a constructed language like Esperanto, Bahá'ís state, it will be ...

Kallang is an old Malay reference to the orang laut (sea gypsies), called orang biduanda kallang, who lived in the vicinity of the Kallang River and Singapore River. At the time of Raffles' landing in Singapore in 1819, there were about 500 orang biduanda kallang. In 1824, the Temenggong moved the orang kallang to the Pulai River in Johor. They consisted of about 100 families, but in 1847 most of them died of a smallpox epidemic. By 1848, the oran ...

Nadsat is a teen language spoken by Alex and his 'droogs' in the futuristic world of A Clockwork Orange. It is not a written language: the sense that we have of the novel is of a transcription of speech, rather than writing. Nadsat is basically English, with some transliterated words from Russian. It also contains some Cockney influences, some words of unclear origin, and some words that Burgess invented. The word 'nadsat' itself is the tail of Russian numerals from 11 to 19 (-надцать), a ...

Apostrophe mark - Non-English names. Irish surnames often contain apostrophes, for instance the name O'Reilly. This arose from a rendering of the Irish Ó. Some Scottish surnames use an apostrophe, such as M'Gregor. The apostrophe here is a contraction where the Scots prefix Mc or Mac would normally appear. French and Italian surnames sometimes contain apostrophes, e.g. D'Angelo. Other times, foreign names that would have used an accented character have a ...

All verbs have regular inflections. Three tenses together form what is called the indicative mood. The other moods are the infinitive, conditional, and jussive. No aspectual distinctions are required by the grammar, but derivational expressions of Aktionsart are common. Verbs do not change form according to their subject. I am, we are, and he is are simply mi estas, ni estas, and li estas, respectively. Impersonal subjects are not used: pluvas (it is raining); estas muso en la domo (there's a mouse in the house).
