A warhead is the explosive or toxic material, delivered by a missile, rocket, or torpedo. It is a type of bomb. Types of warheads include: Explosive: An explosive charge is used to disintegrate the target, damage surrounding areas with a blast wave. Conventional: Chemicals such as gunpowder and high explosives store significant energy within their molecular bonds; this energy can be released by a trigger, such as an electric spark. Thermobaric weapons enhance the blast effect by utilizing the surrounding atmosphere in their explosive reactions. Blast: A strong shock wave is provided by the detonation of the explosive. Fragmentation: Metal fragments are projected at high velocity to cause damage or injury. Continuous rod: Metal bars welded on their ends form a compact cylinder of interconnected rods, violently expanded into a contiguous zig-zag-shaped ring by an explosive detonation; the expanding ring produces a planar cutting effect, devastating against military aircraft, which may be designed to be resistant to shrapnel.
Shaped charge: The effect of the explosive charge is focused onto a specially shaped metal liner to project a hypervelocity jet of metal, to perforate heavy armour. Explosively formed penetrator: Instead of turning a thin metal liner into a focused jet, the detonation wave is directed against a concave metal plate at the front of the warhead, propelling it at high velocity while deforming it into a projectile. Nuclear: A runaway nuclear fission or nuclear fusion reaction causes immense energy release. Chemical: A toxic chemical, such as poison gas or nerve gas, is dispersed, designed to injure or kill human beings. Biological: An infectious agent, such as anthrax spores, is dispersed, designed to sicken or kill humans. A biological or chemical warhead will use an explosive charge for rapid dispersal. Type of detonators include: Guidance system List of aircraft weapons List of missiles Nuclear weapon yield Missile The Nuclear Weapon Archive; the B61 Bomb - Intermediate yield strategic and tactical thermonuclear bomb.

"The Reluctant Orchid" is a science fiction short story by British writer Arthur C. Clarke, first published in 1956, anthologized in Tales from the White Hart. Like the rest of the collection, it is a frame story set in the pub "White Hart", where the fictional Harry Purvis narrates the secondary tale. According to the American orchid biologist, Joseph Arditti, Clarke told him that the story was inspired by the H. G. Wells story "The Flowering of the Strange Orchid", mentioned in Clarke's story, about a carnivorous orchid that kills the man who buys it at auction; the story narrated by Purvis describes the relationship between a timid acquaintance of his named Hercules Keating, Hercules's rather overbearing aunt. Hercules is an orchid fancier, cultivates obscure varieties of these. On one particular occasion, he comes across a carnivorous orchid, is nearly killed by it; this inspires him to use it to murder his aunt. However, the aunt tames the orchid, thus deflating the scheme. Published in the magazine Satellite Science Fiction, the piece was published as the eleventh story in Clarke's collection Tales from the White Hart
Typing is the process of writing or inputting text by pressing keys on a typewriter, computer keyboard, cell phone, or calculator. It can be distinguished from other means such as handwriting and speech recognition. Text can be in the form of letters and other symbols; the world's first typist was Lillian Sholes from Wisconsin, the daughter of Christopher Sholes, who invented the first practical typewriter. User interface features such as spell checker and autocomplete serve to facilitate and speed up typing and to prevent or correct errors the typist may make; the basic technique stands in contrast to hunt and peck typing in which the typist keeps their eyes on the source copy at all times. Touch typing involves the use of the home row method, where typists keep their wrists up, rather than resting them on a desk or keyboard. To avoid this, typists should sit up tall, leaning forward from the waist, place their feet flat on the floor in front of them with one foot in front of the other, keep their elbows close to their sides with forearms slanted upward to the keyboard.
Many touch typists use keyboard shortcuts when typing on a computer. This allows them to edit their document without having to take their hands off the keyboard to use a mouse. An example of a keyboard shortcut is pressing the Ctrl key plus the S key to save a document as they type, or the Ctrl key plus the Z key to undo a mistake. Other shortcuts are the Ctrl key plus the C to copy and the Ctrl key and the v key to paste, the Ctrl key and the X key to cut. Many experienced typists can feel or sense when they have made an error and can hit the ← Backspace key and make the correction with no increase in time between keystrokes. Hunt and peck is a common form of typing in. Instead of relying on the memorized position of keys, the typist must find each key by sight. Use of this method may prevent the typist from being able to see what has been typed without glancing away from the keys. Although good accuracy may be achieved, any typing errors that are made may not be noticed due to the user not looking at the screen.
There is the disadvantage that because fewer fingers are used, those that are used are forced to move a much greater distance. There are many idiosyncratic typing styles in between novice-style touch typing. For example, many "hunt and peck" typists have the keyboard layout memorized and are able to type while focusing their gaze on the screen; some use just two fingers. Some use their fingers consistently, with the same finger being used to type the same character every time, while others vary the way they use their fingers. One study examining 30 subjects, of varying different styles and expertise, has found minimal difference in typing speed between touch typists and self-taught hybrid typists. According to the study, "The number of fingers does not determine typing speed... People using self-taught typing strategies were found to be as fast as trained typists... instead of the number of fingers, there are other factors that predict typing speed... fast typists... keep their hands fixed on one position, instead of moving them over the keyboard, more use the same finger to type a certain letter."
To quote doctoral candidate Anna Feit: "We were surprised to observe that people who took a typing course, performed at similar average speed and accuracy, as those that taught typing to themselves and only used 6 fingers on average" Some people combine touch typing and hunt and peck by using a buffering method. In the buffer method, the typist looks at the source copy, mentally stores one or several sentences looks at the keyboard and types out the buffer of sentences; this eliminates frequent up and down motions with the head and is used in typing competitions in which the typist is not well versed in touch typing. Not used in day-to-day contact with keyboards, this buffer method is used only when time is of the essence. A late 20th century trend in typing used with devices with small keyboards, is thumbing or thumb typing; this can be accomplished using both thumbs. Similar to desktop keyboards and input devices, if a user overuses keys which need hard presses and/or have small and unergonomic layouts, it could cause thumb tendonitis or other repetitive strain injury.
Words per minute is a measure of typing speed used in recruitment. For the purposes of WPM measurement a word is standardized to keystrokes. Therefore, "brown" counts as one word, but "mozzarella" counts as two; the benefits of a standardized measurement of input speed are that it enables comparison across language and hardware boundaries. The speed of an Afrikaans-speaking operator in Cape Town can be compared with a French-speaking operator in Paris. In one study of average computer users, the average rate for transcription was 33 words per minute, 19 words per minute for composition. In the same study, when the group was divided into "fast", "moderate" and "slow" groups, the average speeds were 40 wpm, 35 wpm, 23 wpm respectively. An average professional typist reaches 50 to 80 wpm, while some positions can require 80 to 95 wpm, some advanced typists work at speeds above 120 wpm. Two-finger typists, sometimes referred to as "hunt and peck" typists reach sustained speeds of about 37 wpm for memorized text and 27 wpm when copying text, but in bursts may be able to reach speeds of 60 to 70 wpm.

Warmsworth railway station was a railway station to serve the village of Warmsworth, South Yorkshire and was on the Hull and Barnsley and Great Central Joint Railway. It was built ready for the opening of the line on 1 May 1916 with flanking facilities. However, although the line opened to goods traffic on that date, along with the other stations on the line it never opened for passengers; the only passenger trains to operate over the line were enthusiasts' specials, the last of these being the "Doncaster Decoy" on 5 October 1968 Great Central Vol.3 Ian Allan / Locomotive Pub.
