Baseball fielding positions

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Roles of Fielders

P: Pitcher (Position "number" 1). While the primary role of a pitcher is to pitch the ball, he must also be able to field his position. This consists of fielding ground balls and bunts up the middle of the diamond, and running to cover first base on any batted ball that pulls the first baseman out of position.
C: Catcher (2). He must catch, or at least block, all the pitches to prevent baserunners from advancing, in addition to preventing stolen bases with a strong throwing arm. He must also catch pop-ups into the foul territory behind the baseline, and tag out runners who are attempting to score, while blocking their access to home plate.
1B: First Base (3). The first baseman's job, in addition to fielding balls hit in his direction, is primarily to catch throws from the other infielders (2B, 3B and SS) in order to retire the batter and prevent him from getting on base. When a runner is on first base, the first baseman will tend to stand on or near the bag, holding the runner close to prevent the runner from stealing second base.
2B: Second Base (4). Second basemen have an important defensive role to field ground balls hit toward him and, if necessary start a double play. When the ball is hit to the shortstop, the second baseman will help "turn" a double play by stepping on second base, fielding the throw from SS, and throwing to first base, to retire both the batter, and the runner on first.
3B: Third Base (5). Third base is known as "The Hot Corner", since most right-handed hitters will tend to hit the ball hard in this direction. The third baseman must be able to field ground balls and throw strongly to first base, as well as cover fly balls in fair and foul territory.
SS: Short Stop (6). Shortstops, like the second baseman, must field ground balls and start or turn double plays. In addition, they need a stronger arm as the throw to first base is further from the shortstop side.
LF: Left Field (7), R & L CF: Right & Left Center Field (8), RF: Right Field (9). The role of the outfielders is to chase down and catch any ball hit into the outfield and, if necessary, make a rapid and accurate return throw, either to a base or to the "cut-off man", a infielder who has moved into a position specifically to make a relay throw.

Missing Persons
The number of missing people grew to estimates as high as over 6000 in the months following the attack, but steadily declined as stories were checked and duplicate entries removed. (See Timeline of WTC missing).
As of August 2002, there were approximately 90 people who were officially missing; that is, their remains had not been identified and no family members had requested a death certificate.
Detailed listing.
Survivors
The great majority of the over 40,000 people working at the World Trade Center at the time of the attack evacuated safely, including 18 who escaped from above the impact zone in the second tower hit. By 9/20/2001 6291 people, including rescue and recovery workers, had been treated for injuries.
Detailed listing.

Pentagon
The Pentagon reports 125 staffers killed or missing, with 121 remains recovered and identified, as of Sept. 11, 2002. At least one person died later as a result of wounds incurred.
The listing and memorial.

Missing Persons
The Pentagon reports 4 staffers missing. One passenger on the airliner which hit the Pentagon was also never identified.
Detailed listing.

Survivors
88 treated at hospital.
Detailed entry.

Victim legends
Due to the very large number of World Trade Center casualties and missing persons, victim legends were a common form of September 11, Terrorist Attack urban legends. These were tales of victims who did not exist, spread by word-of-mouth and the Internet. Official sites, such as http://www.september11victims.com, contain accurate entries and are trusted content. Because Wikipedia, and many other websites allowed freely adding victims, there were no doubt many obvious fake entries. Fake victims added to these lists were often simply missing at the time of the attacks, or actually survivors of the attacks.

Complexity classes P and NP

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Computational complexity theory is part of the theory of computation dealing with the resources required during computation to solve a given problem. The most common resources are time (how many steps does it take to solve a problem) and space (how much memory does it take to solve a problem).
In this theory, the class P consists of all those decision problems that can be solved on a deterministic sequential machine in an amount of time that is polynomial in the size of the input; the class NP consists of all those decision problems whose positive solutions can be verified in polynomial time given the right information, or equivalently, whose solution can be found in polynomial time on a non-deterministic machine. The biggest open question in theoretical computer science concerns the relationship between those two classes:
Is P = NP ?
Most people think that the answer is probably "no"; some people believe the question may be undecidable from the currently accepted axioms. A $1,000,000 prize has been offered for a correct solution.

If P = NP, P would encompass the NP and NP-Complete areas.
An important role in this discussion is played by the set of NP-complete problems (or NPC) which can be loosely described as those problems in NP that are the least likely to be in P. (See NP-complete for the exact definition.) Theoretical computer scientists believe this is how P, NP, and NPC currently exists amongst each other. The intersection of P and NPC equals the empty set.
In essence, the P = NP question asks: if positive solutions to a YES/NO problem can be verified quickly, can the answers also be computed quickly? Here is an example to get a feeling for the question. Given two large numbers X and Y, we might ask whether Y is a multiple of any integers between 1 and X, exclusive. For example, we might ask whether 69799 is a multiple of any integers between 1 and 250. The answer is YES, though it would take a fair amount of work to find it manually. On the other hand, if someone claims that the answer is YES because 223 is a divisor of 69799, then we can quickly check that with a single division. Verifying that a number is a divisor is much easier than finding the divisor in the first place. The information needed to verify a positive answer is also called a certificate. So we conclude that given the right certificates, positive answers to our problem can be verified quickly (i.e. in polynomial time) and that's why this problem is in NP. It is not known whether the problem is in P. The special case where X=Y was first shown to be in P in 2002 (see references for "PRIMES in P" below).
A decision problem is a problem that takes as input some string and requires as output either YES or NO. If there is an algorithm (say a Turing machine, or a LISP or Pascal program with unbounded memory) which is able to produce the correct answer for any input string of length n in at most n^k steps, where k is some constant independent of the input string, then we say that the problem can be solved in polynomial time and we place it in the class P. Intuitively, we think of the problems in P as those that can be solved reasonably fast.
Now suppose there is an algorithm A(w,C) which takes two arguments, a string w which is an input string to our decision problem, and a string C which is a "proposed certificate", and such that A produces a YES/NO answer in at most n^k steps (where n is the length of w and k doesn't depend on w). Suppose furthermore that
w is a YES instance of the decision problem if and only if there exists C such that A(w,C) returns YES.
Then we say that the problem can be solved in non-deterministic polynomial time and we place it in the class NP. We think of the algorithm A as a verifier of proposed certificates which runs reasonably fast. (Note that the abbreviation NP stands for "Non-deterministic Polynomial" and not for "Non-Polynomial".)
To attack the P = NP question, the concept of NP-completeness is very useful. Informally, the NP-complete problems are the "toughest" problems in NP in the sense that they are the ones most likely not to be in P. This means that if a single NP-complete problem could be shown to be in P, then it would follow that P = NP. Unfortunately, many important problems have been shown to be NP-complete and not a single fast algorithm for any of them is known.
The P = NP question has also been addressed using oracles.
Although we don't know whether P=NP, we do know of problems outside both P and NP. The problem of finding the best move in Chess or Go (on an n by n board) is EXPTIME-complete. This means it requires exponential time, and so is outside P and NP. The problem of deciding the truth of a statement in Presburger arithmetic is even harder. Fischer and Rabin proved in 1974 that every algorithm which decides the truth of Presburger statements has a runtime of at least 2^(2^(cn)) for some constant c. Here, n is the length of the Presburger statement. Hence, the problem is known to need more than exponential run time. Even more difficult are the undecidable problems, such as the halting problem. They cannot be solved in general given any amount of time.
All of the above discussion has assumed that P means "easy" and "not in P" means "hard". While this is a common and reasonably accurate assumption in complexity theory, it is not always true in practice, for several reasons:
It ignores constant factors. A problem that takes time 10¹⁰⁰⁰n is P (in fact, it's linear time), but is completely intractable in practice. A problem that takes time 10^-100002ⁿ is not P (in fact, it's exponential time), but is very tractable for values of n up into the thousands.
It ignores the size of the exponents. A problem with time n¹⁰⁰⁰ is P, yet intractable. A problem with time 2^n/1000 is not P, yet is tractable for n up into the thousands.
It only considers worst-case times. There might be a problem that arises in the real world. Most of the time, it can be solved in time n, but on very rare occasions you'll see an instance of the problem that takes time 2ⁿ. This problem might have an average time that is polynomial, but the worst case is exponential, so the problem wouldn't be in P.
It only considers deterministic solutions. There might be a problem that you can solve quickly if you accept a tiny error probability, but a guaranteed correct answer is much harder to get. The problem would not belong to P even though in practice it can be solved fast. This is in fact a common approach to attack NP-complete problems.
New computing models such as quantum computers, which also work probabilistically, may be able to quickly solve some problems not known to be in P.

No one knows whether polynomial-time algorithms exist for NP-complete languages. But if such algorithms do exist, we already know some of them! For example, the following algorithm correctly accepts an NP-complete language, but no one knows how long it takes in general. This is a polynomial-time algorithm if and only if P = NP.
   // Algorithm that accepts the NP-complete language SUBSET-SUM.
   //
   // This is a polynomial-time algorithm if and only if P=NP.
   //
   // "Polynomial-time" means it returns "YES" in polynomial time when 
   // the answer should be "YES", and runs forever when it's "NO".
   //
   // Input:  S = a finite set of integers
   // Output: "YES" if any subset of S adds up to 0.
   //         Otherwise, it runs forever with no output.
   // Note:  "Program number P" is the program you get by
   //         writing the integer P in binary, then
   //         considering that string of bits to be a 
   //         program.  Every possible program can be
   //         generated this way, though most do nothing
   //         because of syntax errors.  
   
   FOR N = 1...infinity
       FOR P = 1...N
           Run program number P for N steps with input S
           IF the program outputs a list of distinct integers
               AND the integers are all in S
               AND the integers sum to 0
           THEN
               OUTPUT "YES" and HALT
If P = NP, then this is a polynomial-time algorithm accepting an NP-Complete language. "Accepting" means it gives "YES" answers in polynomial time, but is allowed to run forever when the answer is "NO".
Perhaps we want to "solve" the SUBSET-SUM problem, rather than just "accept" the SUBSET-SUM language. That means we want it to always halt and return a "YES" or "NO" answer. Does any algorithm exist that can provably do this in polynomial time? No one knows. But if such algorithms do exist, then we already know some of them! Just replace the IF statement in the above algorithm with this:
           IF the program outputs a complete math proof
               AND each step of the proof is legal
               AND the conclusion is that S does (or does not) have a subset summing to 0
           THEN
               OUTPUT "YES" (or "NO" if that was proved) and HALT

Order of operations

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

In arithmetic and elementary algebra, certain rules are used for the order in which the operations in algebraic expressions are to be evaluated. These precedence rules (which are mere notational conventions, not mathematical facts) are also used in many programming languages and by most modern calculators. In computing the standard algebraic notation is known as infix notation. This article assumes the reader is familiar with addition, division, exponential powerss, multiplication, and subtraction.

The standard order of operations:
Because of the order Parentheses, Powers, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction, the mnemonic "Please Punch My Dear Aunt Sally" is sometimes used as an aid in learning this sequence.

1. Evaluate subexpressions contained within brackets, bars, or parentheses, starting with the innermost expressions.

2. Evaluate powers; for iterated powers, start from the right:

3. Evaluate multiplications and divisions, starting from the left:

4. Evaluate additions and subtractions, starting from the left:

The expression: is evaluated to 14, and not 20, because multiplication precedes addition. If the intention is to perform the addition first, parentheses must be used:
In the UK, the acronym BODMAS is used for Brackets, raise to the power Of, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction.

Example

Given:

Evaluate the innermost subexpression (7 + 1):

Evalaute the subexpression within the remaining parenthesis (5 - 8):

Evaluate the power of (-3)²:

Evaluate the multiplication 9*(-5):

Evaluate the subtraction 3-(-45):

Evaluate the addition 48+2:

Papa represents the letter P in the NATO phonetic alphabet.
P is also:
In chemistry, P is the symbol for the element phosphorus.
In complexity theory, P is the set of decision problems solvable in polynomial time on a deterministic Turing machine. See Complexity classes P and NP.
In physics, p is the symbol for momentum, also for pressure; P for power and polarisation; p is also the symbol for the proton.
As p, the symbol for the pond, a now obsolete unit of force, see kilopond.
In units the Pico SI Prefix p stands for pico, P for Peta.
In symbolic logic, p is often used to denote a proposition as well as q and r.
In the study of probability, p stands for probability.
In statistics, the p-value of a given result in an experiment the is result's significance; that is, the probability of observing this result or a more extreme result, by chance alone.

Phosphate

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

In chemistry, phosphate refers to a polyatomic ion or radical consisting of one phosphorus atom and four oxygen. In the ionic form, it carries a -3 formal charge, and is denoted PO₄^3-.
In a biochemical setting, a free phosphate ion in solution is called inorganic phosphate, to distinguish it from phosphates bound in the form of ATP, or perhaps in DNA or RNA. Inorganic phosphate is generally denoted P_i. Inorganic phosphate can be formed by the reactions of ATP, or ADP, with the formation of the corresponding ADP or AMP, and the release of phosphate ion. Similar reactions exist for the other nucleoside triphosphates and diphosphates.
In living systems, phosphate ions can also be created by the hydrolysis of a larger ion called pyrophosphate, which has the structure P₂O₇^4-, and is denoted PP_i.

P₂O₇^4- + H₂O → 2HPO₄^2-

Energy stored by phosphate bonds in the form of ADP or ATP, or other nucleoside diphosphates or triphosphates, or the phosphagens in muscle tissues, is generally referred to as high energy phosphate.
In mineralogy and geology, it refers to a rock or ore containing phosphate ions.
In ecological terms, phosphate is often a limiting reagent in many environments--the availability of phosphate governs the rate of growth of many organisms. Introduction of non-naturally occurring levels of phosphate to those environments causes an ecological disequilibrium, leading to booms in the population of some organisms and subsequent busts in the populations of others deprived of other nutrients or essential elements by the rapid growth and consumption by the booming population.
Phosphates are a component of certain types of detergent, but because of boom-bust cycles tied to emission of phosphates into watersheds, phosphate detergent sale or usage is restricted in some areas.

Phosphor

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

A phosphor is a substance that can exhibit the optical phenomenon of phosphorescence (glowing in the dark).
The chemical element Phosphorus (Greek. phosphoros, meaning "light bearer") was discovered by German alchemist Hennig Brand in 1669 through a preparation from urine. Working in Hamburg, Brand attempted to distill salts by evaporating urine, and in the process produced a white material that glowed in the dark. Since that time, the term phosphorescence has been used to describe substances that shine in the dark without burning.
Modern phosphors do not necessarily contain phosphorus, but instead use rare earth elements. The most common uses of phosphors are in CRT displays and fluorescent lights.

Phosphorus is a chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol P and atomic number 15. A multivalent, nonmetal of the nitrogen group, phosphorus is commonly found in inorganic phosphate rocks and in all living cells but is never naturally found alone. It is highly reactive, gives-off a faint glow upon uniting with oxygen (hence its name), occurs in several forms and is an essential element for living organisms. The most important use of phosphorus is in the production of fertilizers. It is also widely used in explosivess, friction matches, fireworks, pesticides, toothpaste, detergents, and CRT based computer displays.
Notable Characteristics
Common phosphorus forms a waxy white solid that has a characteristic disagreeable smell but when it is pure it is colorless and transparent. This non metal is not soluble in water, but it is soluble in carbon disulfide. Pure phosphorus ignites spontaneously in air and burns to phosphorus pentoxide.
Forms
Phosphorus exists in four or more allotropic forms: white (or yellow), red, and black (or violet). The most common are red and white phosphorus, both of which are tetrahedral groups of four atoms. White phosphorus burns on contact with air and on exposure to heat or light it can transform into red phosphorus. It also exists in two modifications: alpha and beta which are separated by a transition temperature of -3.8 °C. Red phosphorus is comparatively stable and sublimes at a vapor pressure of 1 atm at 17 °C but burns from impact or frictional heating. A black phosphorus allotrope exists which has a structure similar to graphite - the atoms are arranged in hexagonal sheet layers and will conduct electricity.
Applications
Concentrated phosphoric acids, which can consist of 70% to 75% P₂O₅ are very important to agriculture and farm production in the form of fertilizers. Global demand for fertilizers has led to large increases in phosphate production in the second half of the 20th century. Other uses;
Phosphates are utilized in the making of special glasses that are used for sodium lamps.
Bone-ash, calcium phosphate, is used in the production of fine china and to make mono-calcium phosphate which is employed in baking powder.
This element is also an important component in steel production, in the making of phosphor bronze, and in many other related products.
Trisodium phosphate is widely used in cleaning agents to soften water and for preventing pipe/boiler tube corrosion.
White phosphorus is used in military incendiaries, smoke pots, smoke bombs and tracer bullets.
Miscellaneous uses; used in the making of safety matches, pyrotechnics, pesticides, toothpaste, detergentsetc.
Biological Role
Phosphorus compounds perform vital functions in all known forms of life. Inorganic phosphorus plays a key role in biological molecules such as DNA and RNA where it forms part of those molecules' molecular backbones. Living cells also utilize inorganic phosphorus to store and transport cellular energy via adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Calcium phosphate salts are used by animals to stiffen bones and phosphorus is also an important element in cell protoplasm and nervous tissue.
History
Phosphorus (Greek. phosphoros, meaning "light bearer" which was the ancient name for the planet Venus) was discovered by German alchemist Hennig Brand in 1669 through a preparation from urine. Working in Hamburg, Brand attempted to distill salts by evaporating urine, and in the process produced a white material that glowed in the dark and burned brilliantly. Since that time, phosphorescence has been used to describe substances that shine in the dark without burning.
Early matches used white phosphorus in their composition, which was dangerous due to its toxicity. Murders, suicides and accidental poisonings resulted from its use (An apocryphal tale tells of a woman attempting to murder her husband with white phosphorus in his food, which was detected by the stew giving off luminous steam). In addition, exposure to the vapors gave match workers a necrosis of the bones of the jaw, the infamous "phossy jaw." When red phosphorus was discovered, with its far lower flammability and toxicity, it was adopted as a safer alternative for match manufacture.
Occurrence
Due to its reactivity to air and many other oxygen containing substances, phosphorus is not found free in nature but it is widely distributed in many different minerals. Phosphate rock, which is partially made of apatite (an impure tri-calcium phosphate mineral) is an important commercial source of this element. Large deposits of apatite are in Russia, Morocco, Florida, Idaho, Tennessee, Utah, and elsewhere.
The white allotrope can be produced using several different methods. In one process, tri-calcium phosphate, which is derived from phosphate rock, is heated in an electric or fuel-fired furnace in the presence of carbon and silica..Elemental phosphorus is then liberated as a vapor and can be collected under phosphoric acid.
Precautions
This is a particularly poisonous element with 50 mg being the average fatal dose. The allotrope white phosphorus should be kept under water at all times due to its hyper reactivity to air and it should only be manipulated with forceps since contact with skin can cause severe burns. Chronic white phosphorus poisoning of unprotected workers leads to necrosis of the jaw called "phossy-jaw". Phosphate esters are nerve poisons but inorganic phosphates are relatively nontoxic. Phosphate pollution occurs where fertilizers or detergents have leached into soils.
When the white form is exposed to sunlight or when it is heated in its own vapor to 250 °C, it is transmuted to the red form, which does not phosphoresce in air. The red allotrope does not spontaneously ignite in air and is not as dangerous as the white form. Nevertheless, it should be handled with care because it does revert to white phosphorus in some temperature ranges and it also emits highly toxic fumes that consist of phosphorus oxides when it is heated.

Spelling
The only correct spelling of the element is phosphorus. There does exist a word phosphorous, but it is the adjectival form for the smaller valency: so, just as sulfur forms sulfurous and sulfuric compounds, so phosphorus forms phosphorous and phosphoric compounds.

Pinyin

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Pinyin (拼音 pin1 yin1) literally means "spelling according to sounds" in Mandarin Chinese and usually refers to Hanyu pinyin (汉语拼音, literal meaning: "Han language pinyin"), which is a system of romanization (phonetic notation and transliteration to roman script) for Mandarin used in the People's Republic of China. Pinyin was approved in 1958 and adopted in 1979 by its government. It superseded older transcriptions like the Wade-Giles system (1859; modified 1912) or Bopomofo. Similar systems have been designed for Chinese dialects and non-Han minority languages in the PRC. Cantonese also has a pinyin-type system called Penkyamp, whose name derives from the same word as pinyin, albeit articulated in the Cantonese dialect.
Since then, pinyin has been accepted by the Library of Congress, The American Library Association, and most international institutions as the transcription system for Mandarin. In 1979 the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) adopted pinyin as the standard romanization for Modern Chinese.
It is important to maintain the distinction that pinyin is a romanization and not an anglicization; that is, it is equally applicable for transliteration into any language that uses a roman alphabet. Indeed some of the transliterations in pinyin such as the "ang" ending, do not correspond to English pronounciations. Pinyin has also become a useful tool for entering Chinese language text into computers.

Pinyin in Taiwan
The Republic of China (or Taiwan) is in the process of adopting a modified version of pinyin (currently Tongyong Pinyin). For elementary education it has used zhuyin, and for romanization there is no standard system in general use on Taiwan despite many efforts to standardize on one system. In the late-1990s, the government of Taiwan formally decided to move from zhuyin to pinyin. This has triggered a very heated discussion of which pinyin system to use, hanyu pinyin of People's Republic of China or some other systems.
Much of the controversy centered on issues of national identity because of political interests. Proponents for adopting pinyin maintained that it is a international standard that is already used throughout the world. Proponents for adopting a new system maitained that Taiwan should have its own identity and culture apart from People's Republic of China.
A new system Tongyong Pinyin was created in Taiwan in 1998. Tongyong pinyin is mostly similar to Hanyu pinyin with a few changes for the letters of certain sounds.
As of October 2002, the ROC government has adopted tongyong pinyin but through an administrative order which local governments can override. Localities with governments controlled by the Kuomintang have stated that they will override the order and convert to hanyu pinyin. As a result, English signs has inconsistant romanization in Taiwan. Some places uses Pinyin, while other places uses Tongyong Pinyin or the older Wade-Gile system.
Pronunciation
The primary purpose of pinyin in Chinese schools is to teach Mandarin pronunciation. Many in the West are under the mistaken belief that pinyin is used to help children associate characters with spoken words which they already know, but this is incorrect as many Chinese do not use Mandarin at home, and therefore do not know the Mandarin pronunciation of words until they learn them in elementary school through the use of pinyin.
Pinyin uses the Roman alphabet, hence the pronunciation is relatively straightforward for Westerners. A pitfall for novices is, however, the unusual pronunciation of "x", "q" and (for English speakers) "c" and "z". The sounds represented by "x" and "q" in Western languages don't exist in Chinese, so the Pinyin system "recycles" them and assigns them other sounds: "x" represents a soft "sh" (like the "sh" in "sharp" but not as fully sounding), "q" represents a soft "ch" (again, like the "ch" in "chin" but not quite). The "c" is pronounced like "ts", "z" like "ds". Finally, "ü" stands for the same sound as in German and "u" is pronounced like "ü" if it follows "y", "x", "j" or "q". The combined initials, vowels, and finals represent the segmental phonemic portion of the language.
More detailed pronuciation rules:
a: IPA [a], [e], as in "father"
ai: IPA [ai], like English "eye", but a bit lighter
an: IPA [an], [ən], as in "can" if following "y", as in "unbelievable" otherwise

Orthographic features
Pinyin differs from other Romanizations in several aspects, such as:
W is placed before syllables starting with u.
Y is placed before syllables starting with i and ü.
Ü is written as u when there is no ambiguity (such as ju, qu and xu), but written as ü when there are corresponding u syllables (such as lü and nü)
When preceded by a consonant, iou, uei, and uen are simplified as iu, ui, un (which do not represent the actual pronunciation).
What is pronounced as muo an puo are pinyinized as mo an po.
The apostrophe (') is used to separate syllables in a word where ambiguity could arise, e.g., pi'ao (皮袄) vs. piao (票), and Xi'an (西安) vs. xian (先).
Eh! alone is written as ê; elsewere as e. Schwa is always written as e.
zh, ch, and sh can be abbreviated as , ĉ, ŝ . But the shorthands are rarely used due to difficulty to entering in computer.
ng has the uncommon shorthand of ŋ.

Tones
The Pinyin system also incorporates suprasegmental phonemes to represent the four tones of Mandarin. Each tone is indicated by a diacritical mark above a non-medial vowel. In the following examples, the vowel used as an example is a.

First tone is represented by a macron (ˉ) added to the pinyin vowel:
ā
Second tone is denoted by an acute accent (ˊ):
á
Third tone is symbolized by a caron (ˇ, also known as a reverse circumflex). Note, it is officially not breve (˘, lacking a downward angle), although this misuse is somewhat common on the Internet.
ǎ
Fourth tone is represented by a grave accent (ˋ):
�
Fifth tone is represented by a regular vowel without any accent mark:
a

Since most computer fonts do not contain the macron or caron accents, a common convention is to postfix the individual syllables with a digit representing their tone (e.g., "tóng" (tong with the rising tone) is written "tong2"). The digit is numbered as the order listed above, except the "fifth tone", which, in addition to being numbered 5, is also either not numbered or numbered 0, as in ma0 (吗, an interrogative marker).
The pinyin vowels are ordered as a, o, e, i, u, and ü. Generally, the tone mark is placed on the vowel that first appears in the order mentioned. Liú is a superficial exception whose true pronunciation is lióu. And since o precedes i, óu (contracted to ú) is marked.
These tone marks normally are only used in Mandarin textbooks or in foreign learning texts, but they are essential for correct pronunciation of Mandarin syllables.

Miscellanea
A dieresis or an umlaut is occasionally used over the vowel u in conjunction with the tonal marks when placed after the initials l and n, which distinguishes between rounded-u and unrounded-u sounds. However, the umlaut-u is not used after the semiconsonant y and after the consonants j, q, and x. This practise is opposed to Wade-Giles, which always uses ü, and Tongyong Pinyin, which always uses yu.
Many fonts or inputs do not support diaeresis (umlaut) for ü, v is used instead by convention. Occasionally, uu (double u) or U (capital u) is used in its place.

POP3

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Short for Post Office Protocol version 3. It is used to retrieve emails from remote servers to a local client over a TCP/IP connection.
The earlier versions of the POP protocol, POP (informally called POP1) and POP2, have been thoroughly obsoleted by POP3. In contemporary usage, the less precise term "POP" almost always means "POP3" in the context of email protocols.
POP3 and its predecessors are designed to allow users with intermittent connections such as dial-up connections to download email when connected, while the SMTP protocol was designed to allow systems with permanent connections to receive email. POP3 is a pull protocol (where the client requests data from the server), whereas SMTP is a push protocol where the client sends data to the server without the server requesting the data in advance.
POP3 also supports several authentication methods to provide varying levels of protection against illegitimate access to a user's email. It is also possible to encrypt POP3 traffic using SSL.
POP3 works over a TCP/IP connection using port 110.
Other email protocols include SMTP and IMAP.

Proton

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

In physics, the proton is a subatomic particle with a positive fundamental electric charge of 1.6 × 10^-19 coulomb, a mass of 938 MeV (1.6726231 × 10^-27 kg, or about 1800 times that of an electron) and a half-life of about 10³³ years. The nucleus of the most common isotope of the hydrogen atom, H, is a single proton. The nuclei of other atoms are composed of neutrons and protons held together by the strong nuclear force. The number of protons in the nucleus determines the chemical properties of the atom and what chemical element it is.
Protons are classified as baryons and are composed of two up quarks and one down quark, which are also held together by the strong nuclear force, mediated by gluons.
Because the electromagnetic force is many [[order of magnitude|orders of magnitude]] stronger than the gravitational force, the charge on the proton must be equal to the charge on the electron, otherwise the net repulsion of having an excess of positive or negative charge (depending on which charge was numerically greater - atoms would not be electrically neutral) would cause a noticeable expansion effect on the universe, and indeed any gravitationally aggregated matter (planets, stars, etc.). It is taken that the positron (antielectron) has the same magnitude charge as the electron but opposite in sign; the same applies for the antiproton and proton.
In chemistry and biochemistry, the term proton may refer to the hydrogen ion in aqueous solution (in other words, the hydronium ion). In this context, a proton donor is an acid and a proton acceptor a base (see acid-base reaction theories).
