![]() Reading about it is one thing, but seeing it like this really made all of us think even more about our waste. ZSL Whipsnade have done the most amazing job showing children the awful effects of our plastic use on the planet. The whole Superhero Academy was incredibly well put together, but the plastic maze area was just wonderful. The last challenge is helping ZSL’s superhero Captain Z tackle a tricky series of obstacles created by his arch nemesis, Plastico: a fiendish villain made powerful by the mountains of discarded plastic being dumped into our oceans. You take a photo posed on the floor and then flip it! I want to go back just to do this again! My photos aren’t the best as I foolishly left my flash at home, but how cool is this? This was the most amazing upside down room. My personal favourite room was where children could defy gravity like a gecko.

![]() If a rhinoceros is adorable without cutting it, it can grow to almost full size after three years. Despite this attitude, the rhinoceros are no pacifist, and when they feel threatened, they direct their huge, dangerous bodies toward a fight. Are rhinoceroses dangerous?Īlthough these horned animals are probably very dangerous, they usually prefer to keep themselves. Since animal horns were used in folk medicine for their supposed drug healing properties, rhinoceros almost became extinct. ![]() There are five species of rhinoceros and 3 subspecies Some have two horns, some have horns. The word “rhinoceros” comes from the Greek “rhinoceros” (nose) and “seros” (horn). The rhino horn is used in traditional Chinese medicine, but its status as a status symbol for success and wealth is increasingly common. In recent years, hunting for rhinoceros has increased and is being driven by the demand for rhinoceros horns in Asian countries, especially in Vietnam. It is one of the interesting facts and meaning of rhinoceros. This word is the Greek word rin-, reis, which means “nose” and kerus the word “horn”. Instead, the Latin name comes from the Greek word Rhinocer A, which literally means “horned nose”. Word history One of the largest animals found on the land today is the dense leather rhinoceros. What is the meaning of the rhinoceros name? ![]() Where does the word rhinoceros come from?Ĭ.1300, from Latin rhinoceros, from Greek rhinoceros, literally “horned nose”, “rhinoceros” from “nose” (word of unknown origin) + cerasus “horn”. It is one of the interesting facts and meanings of rhinoceros. Dangers to humans: Donkeys, despite veganism, are dangerous animals. What is a rhinoceros baby called?Ī male rhinoceros is called a bull, a female cow, and a baby calf A group of rhinoceros is called a “crash”. In the rare, nonstandard, context, the plural form can also be rhinoceroses. The plural form of rhinoceros is also rhinoceros. The word ‘rhinoceros’ originated in Greek rhinoceros from Latin, from Ris nose + keras horn 2. Here are some pf rhinoceros facts everyone should know: 1. Researchers, students, and curious people want to know more about rhinoceros. The Rhinocerotidae family of Africa and South East Asia are formed and have multiple perissodactyl mammals, such as a single horn in the nose, like Indian Rhinoceros ( Rhinoceros unicornis) or, two horns like African white rhinoceros ( Diceros simus), or two horns. Rhinoceros is a large Asian or African animal with gray skin on the nose and a horn or two. Rhinoceroses’ usage of infrasonic frequencies is most likely an adaptation for them to communicate with one another in dense foliage, and for females to advertise to males when females are ready to procreate. Rhinoceroses, like elephants, communicate utilizing infrasonic frequencies that are below the human hearing threshold. Despite their size, rhinoceroses are incredibly nimble even in dense undergrowth, the black rhinoceros can reach speeds of up to 45 kilometers (30 miles) per hour and can quickly circle around after missing a charge. The black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis) is generally irritable and unpredictable and may react aggressively to any strange sound or smell. Most prefer to stay away from humans, although males and mothers with calves may charge without warning. Rhinoceroses have weak eyesight but excellent hearing and smelling abilities. ![]() Solitary species’ home territories are crisscrossed with well-worn pathways and frequently marked with urine and dung heaps at the boundaries. Individual rhinoceros normally avoid one another, but the white rhinoceros live in herds of up to ten. All rhinos are gray or brown in color, with the exception of the white rhinoceros, which is lighter. Rhinoceroses are known for their thick skin, which folds into platelike folds at the shoulders and thighs. The Sumatran rhinoceros is 2.5 meters (8 feet) long and 1.5 meters (5 feet) tall at the shoulder, whereas the white rhinoceros is around 4 meters (13 feet) long and almost 2 meters (7 feet) tall. Rhinoceroses are distinguished by one or two horns on the upper surface of the snout these horns are made of keratin, a fibrous protein found in hair, and are not actual horns. People show their curiosity and frequently ask about rhinos. Rhinoceros is an animal with a lot of interesting facts. ![]() ![]() ![]() Some sets include a few cards with definitions of basic subtraction terminology.

Also consider printing on thicker card stock paper so your flash cards last longer. ![]() Printers vary, so it's a good idea to print a "test page" before printing a full flash card set. Horizontal cards need Portrait orientation. Vertical flash cards need Landscape orientation. IMPORTANT: Be sure to check your printer's orientation before printing. However, two-sided printing requires a duplex-enabled printer or a special printing technique (see below for how to do the technique). No folding or gluing needed for either of these.ĭuplex printing allows you to print on both sides of the paper, with or without answers. I'm fairly sure that you need to be careful to use them (and memorisation) as a tool for thought, and not get sucked into memorising as a substitute for thinking.In addition to fold-and-glue, the horizontal sets are available in "no answers" format (one-sided only) as well as duplex (prints on both sides). It helped because it is necessary to think hard, and it is easier to think hard if the stuff you are thinking about is safely stored in long term memory and not taking up space in short term memory, reducing the scratch space available for use while thinking. Wouldn't it be lovely if we had some kind of super-pair so that this always works? I've fought my way back to understanding Mac Lane's definition. Perhaps we have a D-arrow and maybe instead of using f to get from c to Sd we can go a round about route g to get from c to Se and then Sh to complete the journey from Se to Sd. Can we relate the pair and the pair ? (Where did I get the idea of asking that question? From my rote memorisation!) Since that is the only way to relate objects in D to objects in C I guess we will use it a lot. Now you can use S to go from d to Sd and with any luck their will be a morphism. Indeed it occurs to me that given two categories C and D one would like to be able to relate an object in D to an object in C but morphisms only go between objects in the same category so one is stuck. Some time later the explanation starts making sense. If I don't know what he means I can still know what he says. Unfortunately the explanation makes less sense to me than the definition.Īh well. Fortunately he explains it on the next page. I've no idea what this weird gibberish is all about. Universals and Limits, Mac Lane writesĭefinition: If is a functor and and object of, a universal arrow from to is a pair consisting of an object of and an arrow of, such that to every pair with an object of and an arrow of, there is a unique arrow of with I guess you do your study of mathematics quite a lot of damage.įor an example from last week, I'm fighting Cats for Mats. there exists n such that and are close together" Turn it over. there exist m and n such that and are close together."

While these do not all have to be used, a combination of these lighting options can help to create a functional home theater that has a soothing yet engaging ambiance. When looking at types of home theater lighting to use for your space, you need to consider overhead lighting, decorative lighting, and experience-enhancing lighting. With these in mind, you can use some really innovative solutions to create the perfect atmosphere with your home theater lighting. Ultimately, it is important to take a look at the logistics of your home theater space, your budget for your entire home theater as well as lighting specifically, and then consider what is practical and functional for your space. There are several different types of home theater lighting options available. Or, you can choose a less expensive option and install the lighting yourself.īut, whatever you do, we recommend not skimping out on your home theater lighting- even if this means getting creative with your lighting solutions or using some of what you already own. You can choose to go all out and invest in professional lighting and installation. To achieve this, though, you need to take a look at the way that you set up your home theater lighting.

It just felt like it because of how engaged we were. Then, when the movie is over and we walk outside (likely chatting with our friends and family about the complex scenes or parts of the film that we liked or disliked), we are almost shocked to see that time did not, in fact, stand still while we were in the theater. ![]() When we are less distracted by our surroundings, we are able to appreciate all of the work that went into creating the masterpiece that is being streamed before us. All of the components used from the dimmed room that darkens upon the start of the movie, the safety lights that surround the theater, and other sources of light help us to focus on what we came to engage in: the movie. The lighting that is used in the cinema helps us to focus on the movie that we are engaging in. Time obviously passes while you are in the theater, but for some reason, we imagine that it stands still. You can likely recall a time that you entered the cinema during the day time and walked outside upon the completion of the movie you went to see to a darkened night sky. Additionally, different types of home theater lighting can be used for decorative purposes as well as safety and functional features. Lighting not only sets the mood and ambiance of your space, but it helps with visual clarity and the ability to focus on the streaming media in your home theater.

"It prints smoother than using a laptop running a bunch of other services not needed for printing and it draws much less power. Walter Schreppers, an engineer from Belgium, developed an app called Printerface (not to be confused with the above-mentioned Pronterface) that allows makers to control their printers through a web connection and calls out the fact that it's not just portability that makes the Raspberry Pi an idea choice for 3-D printers, but efficiency and environmental friendliness as well. While 3-D printer software is now attracting people with financial motives, the hacker era is far from over. Combined with the new Raspberry Pi camera and a little hacking the OctoPrint could be set up to automatically record timelapse videos of every print job, push them to YouTube, and create the first channel featuring nothing but 3-D prints. It can also do some fun things like create time lapse movies of parts being produced.
