Villages

A village is a clustered person resolution or community, better than a hamlet, but smaller than a town or city. Although usually situated in rural areas, the word urban village may be applied to assured urban neighborhoods. Villages normally are stable with fixed dwellings, but temporary villages can occur. Further, the dwellings of a village are quite close to one another, as against being spread broadly over the landscape.

During the human past, villages have been the normal form of society for agricultural societies, and even for some non-agricultural societies. Towns and cities were few, and were home to only a little proportion of the population. The Industrial Revolution caused a lot of villages to develop into towns and cities; this development of urbanisation has continued and hastened since, even if not always in connection with industrialisation. Villages have thus been eclipsed in value, as units of human culture and settlement.

Weather

Weather most frequently results from temperature differences from one planet to another. On large scales, temperatures differences arise mainly as areas closer to Earth's equator get more energy per unit area from the Sun than do regions nearer to Earth's poles. On local scales, temperature differences can arise because different surfaces have opposed physical characteristics such as reflectivity, roughness, or moisture content.

Surface temperature differences in roll cause pressure differences. A hot surface heats the air over it and the air expands, lowering the air pressure. The resulting parallel pressure rise accelerates the air from high to low pressure, creating wind, and Earth's rotation then causes curvature of the pour via the Coriolis Effect. The strong temperature contrast among polar and tropical air gives rise to the jet flow. Most weather systems in the mid-latitudes are caused by instabilities of the jet stream flow. Weather systems in the tropics are caused by different processes, such as monsoons shower systems.

Grass

In tennis, grass is grown on very hard-packed soil, and bounces may vary depend on how healthy the grass is, how recently it has been mowed, and the wear and tear of recent play. The most famous grass tennis court in the world is Centre Court at Wimbledon. Tennis, however, is generally played on clay courts, and only a a small number of regular tennis tournaments are played on a grass court. The exterior is less firm than rigid courts, causing the ball to spring back lower, and so players must reach the ball quicker. Due to high maintenance costs however, grass courts are now rare as they must be watered and mowed often, and take a longer time to dry after rain than hard courts.

Education System

Schooling occurs when group or a society or an individual sets up a curriculum to educate people, usually the young. Schooling can become systematic. Sometimes education systems can be used to promote doctrine or ethics as well as knowledge, and this can lead to abuse of the system.

Life-long or adult education have become extensive in many countries. However, education is still seen by many as something aimed at children, and adult education is often branded as adult learning or ultimate learning.

Adult education takes on several forms, from formal class-based learning to self-directed learning. Lending libraries provide cheap informal access to books and other self-instructional materials. Many adults have also taken advantage of the rise in computer ownership and internet access to further their casual education.
