In energy storage, given a certain amount of energy, the energy density tells us how large the energy store will be. In fuel, the energy density of a particular fuel in a particular engine is also called the specific fuel consumption. (Given a certain amount of energy, the energies per unit mass tells us how much the energy store will weigh.) Volumetric energy density of some fuels and storage technologies: (modified from the Gasoline article) Unfortunately, the energy one can extract ...

A goalie scoring a goal in an NHL game is a very rare feat. Ron Hextall and Martin Brodeur have both accomplished this twice. Evgeni Nabokov was the first goalie to score a powerplay goal, doing so for the San Jose Sharks in 2002. Billy Smith (the first goalie to be credited with a goal), Mika Noronen and Damian Rhodes all scored without actually shooting the puck; they were credited with goals because they were the last people on their respective teams to touch the puck. Chris Osgood and Jose Theodore have also scored goal ...

The current Okinawan head of Isshinryu is Shimabuku Kichiro, the oldest son of Shimabuku Tatsuo. However there are many political disagreements, and most would rather follow the younger son, Ciso, who Tatsuo intended to leave the style to, or Shimabuku Tatsuo's son-in-law Angi Uezi, who heads a separate organization in Okinawa. There are also many Isshinryu organizations that exist independent of Okinawan control or leadership, each with its own separate leaders. Don Nagle, an American Marine, opened the first Isshinryu dojo in the United States in Jersey ...

Isshin-ryu - Tatsuo Shimabuku. A native of Okinawa, Tatsuo Shimabuku studied the Shorin-ryu and Goju-ryu systems. He began training under his uncle, and then under Chotoku Kiyan who would be his most influential instructor (and after whom he initially named his style). He also studied karate from Chojun Miyagi and Choki Motobu. He then studied Ryukyu Kobudo, the art of traditional Okinawan weapons, including the sai, bo, and tonfa, under Taira Shinken and Yabiku Moden. From the open-hand and weapons techniques of ...

While there are a number of "rules" about ways of expressing numbers, the essential requirement must always be to avoid ambiguity. Different authorities don't always agree; for example the following sentence was found in a perfectly respectable document. "It has sold 10,000,000 copies. It was number 21 on a recent list of the 100 most important non-fiction books of the 20th century." This sentence is perfectly clear, and it is unlikely that any reader would chang ...

If a number is in the range 21 to 99, and the second digit is not zero, one should write the number as two words separated by a hyphen. In English, the hundreds are perfectly regular, except that the word hundred remains in its singular form regardless of the number preceding it (obviously, one may on the other hand say "hundreds of people flew in", or the like) So are the thousands, with the number of thousands followed by the word "thousand" In informal English, exact numbers larger than o ...

Here are some ordinal numbers. Zeroth only has a meaning when counts start with zero, which happens in a mathematical or computer science context. Ordinal numbers such as 21st, 33rd, etc, are formed by combining a cardinal ten with an ordinal unit. Higher ordinals are not usually written in words. They are written using digits and letters as described below. Here are some rules that should be borne in mind. The suffixes -th, -st, -nd and -rd< ...

Years before 2000 are read as follows: The year 2000 is read "two thousand". Years after 2000 have no set system as of yet for expressing them; however, the second form of zeroth-decade year pronunciation is more common (that is, 2003 to be said as "two thousand (and) three"), and post-2010 dates are often said as normal (2010 would be "twenty ten"). Note that years are exceedingly rarely read as ordinal numbers, as "[...] in the one thousand one hundred and ninety-seventh year of our Lord" (that is, 1197), and this is c ...

Here are some common fractions: Alternatively, and for greater numbers, one may say for 1/2 "one over two", for 5/8 "five over eight", and so on. Numbers with a decimal point may be read as a cardinal number, then "and", then another cardinal number followed by an indication of the significance of the second cardinal number, or as a cardinal number, followed by "point", and then by the digits of the fractional part. The indication of significance takes the form of the denominator of the fraction indicating division by the small ...

Shithead is a popular card game for two to six players in which players aim to not be the last player to get rid of their cards. The winner of the game is usually considered unimportant! The loser is referred to as shithead, must deal the next game and, in theory, can be forced to do the bidding of his/her fellow players. This usually means a forfeit of the group's choice (which is often alcohol related but need not necessarily be). Shithead status is thus passed from losing player to losing player after each game. Some variations lose this attribute, and ...

There are many variations of the rules, which are not formalised. For this reason, it is impossible to accurately document an "exact" ruleset for shithead - no such thing exists. Readers should pick, choose and try a set of rules as they see fit. It is possible to form a game which involves a considerable amount of strategy. However most players agree that "original" shithead is played only with 2 as the restart card and 10 as the burn card. Any other rules are usually part o ...

From a standard, shuffled 52 card deck (Jokers may also be included), each player is dealt a number of 'face down cards' in a row. (The number varies with player number and variation - often three per player, but sometimes more if there are fewer players) They are not allowed to see or change these cards. On top of the 'face down cards', they are dealt the same number of 'face up cards'. The same number is again dealt to each player (face down) which become the players' 'hand'. Players are then allowed to switch the cards in their 'hand' wit ...

After the cards have been dealt, players lay cards in turn onto the pick up pile, starting with the first player to claim he/she holds the lowest (weakest) card in his/her hand. The lowest card will vary depending on the rules in force, but should be agreed on before play begins. It should be defined as the weakest card in the set - and is typically a 4. In some variations of the rules, red cards are considered lower than black cards - meaning that, for example, play might commonly start with a red 4 rather than a black 4. If no red or black version of the lowest card is held, players (led by the deal ...

Each player must lay a card (or two or more cards of the same number) equal to or higher in value than the one at the top of the pick up pile, then take cards from the deck so they have at least 3 cards in their hand (unless the deck has run out of cards or they already have 3 or more cards in their hand). When players have no more cards in their hand they may proceed to play from their three face up cards. The cards laid form a pile which must be picked up by any player who cannot beat the most recently played card. (Note also that i ...

Once again, these rules should not be considered law - many variations are in wide circulation. Common cards for each role are written in brackets. Aces: Aces are high (meaning that they are stronger than the Jack, Queen and King) but can be beaten by certain special cards, detailed below. Burn or Nuke Cards (10): Cards that remove the existing pile from play permanently. The player who lays a burn card should then have another go. Burn cards are usually either four cards of the same value played in a row (not nec ...
