			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung has released <a title="galaxy S4 " href="http://www.mobda.com/samsung/samsung-i9500-galaxy-s4/"><strong>galaxy S4</strong> </a>Smartphone recently. The screen resolution is 5-inch that is somewhat bigger screen than galaxy S3. Samsung galaxy s4 is thinner than Samsung galaxy s3. To state it in one word galaxy s4 provides all possible features that you can expect from the smart phone.</p>
<p>Samsung galaxy s4 reviews have revealed a bigger screen, faster 8 core processor, gorilla glass display, 13 MP camera and many more software features which were never came up with any smart phone until today.</p>
<p><strong>New features</strong></p>
<p>Galaxy s4 comes up with many never heard features before. Since it have opened up these features got introduced with this Samsung flagship phone here after we can expect so many budget rate phones with the same kind of cute features.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.alphabetfacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/samsung-galaxy-s4-3.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1041 aligncenter" title="samsung-galaxy-s4 3" src="http://www.alphabetfacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/samsung-galaxy-s4-3.jpg" alt="galaxy s4 review" width="569" height="379" /></a></p>
<p>First feature I want to review now is dual shot mode</p>
<p>Sometimes when we take photo on special occasions we tend to miss many memories. Having a Galaxy s4 phone on your hand is like having a crew with 2 camera to follow you. So now you can file your memories along with your expression on that occasion. Galaxy s4 provides you a dual shot mode in which you can take the photo of yourself as well as others.  On shooting the moments you can choose from variety of frame templates. You can blend 2 or more images which will give you more natural look. You can also place a small image inside the big one.</p>
<p><strong>Sound &amp; shot </strong></p>
<p>With galaxy s4 here after you can listen to your photos, apart from just seeing them.  So shoot photos with the back ground sound.</p>
<p>Second jaw dropping feature is an octa-core processor.</p>
<p>Galaxy s4 is the very first smart phone which comes with the octa processor. It is powered with the 1.6 GHZ 8 core processor. It has 4 ARM coretex A7 and 4 cortex A15.  These 8 cores will be spiltted into two 4 cores or smaller units based on the workload. This feature will work amazingly to handle multi taking.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whenever someone talks about a ten, one hundred or ten thousand the image that is running in your mind is some digit followed by a few zeros. Zero basically servers as a place holder. If three zeros are followed by some number it represents thousands rather than hundreds. If we miss a single zero it will result in a drastic change. Can we accept if a single zero is deleted from our salary?</p>
<p><strong>History of zero</strong></p>
<p>In numbering systems Zero is written as with the symbol “0”. It is also called as naught or nil. Informal form of zero is zilch and zip. Zero can act as a number in its own right. In modern mathematics, we have adopted zero in our numbering system. But there is no number called zero in the BC / AD year numbering system.</p>
<p>Mayan civilization was the one who have introduced zero in their numbering system which was considered as one of their greatest achievements. They have done this before 1300 years ago.</p>
<p>Although the Greeks have made significant strides in mathematics    they didn’t had a zero until the Greek astronomer Ptolemy (ca. A.D. 150) has started to write a zero with the circular symbol. He was the one who gave a symbol for zero.</p>
<p>During the Seleucid period Babylonians used zero as a separator between sentences like we are using full stop in between the sentences. Later (from 18<sup>th</sup> century) they may have adopted zero as a number. The first evidence we are having now is Aristotle’s discussion of division by zero.<br />
During the 6th century, Indian mathematicians had developed a place-value system. Around the 7th century, Hindu scholarly persons have introduced to Islam about the ideas of zero and place-value. Very soon these ideas have propagated all over the Arabic world. Nearly after 6 centuries, Fibonacci has got inspired by the indu-Arabic numerals. This inspiration has resulted in a book named Liber abaci.</p>
<h3></h3>
<h3>Rules of Brahmagupta</h3>
<p title="Brahmagupta">For the first time rules stating the uses of zero have appeared In the s Brahmagupta&#8217;s book which was written around 628 AD. In this book he didn’t consider only zero but the algebraic rules of elementary operations, negative numbers.  Interestingly in few instances, Brahmagupta’s rules are significantly differing from the current standard. The rules are stated below.</p>
<p>§   If you add a zero with any negative number it will result in the same negative number.</p>
<p>§   If you add a zero with any positive number it will result in the same positive number.</p>
<p>§  If you add zero with zero it will result in zero.</p>
<p>§  If you perform the addition of a positive number and a negative number their difference value will be the sum of those two numbers.</p>
<p>§  If Zero is divided by any negative number or by any positive number the result will be either a zero or it may be shown as a fraction with zero as a numerator and the bounded quantity as a denominator.</p>
<p>§  If you divide zero by zero the result will be zero.</p>
<p>The last rule shown above is actually differs from the modern system. In Mathematics normally we won’t assign a value for zero divided by zero case. But computers used to assign <a title="NaN" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NaN">NaN</a> (not a number)</p>
<p>Some interesting facts about zero</p>
<p>Any number that is raised to the power of zero will result in one.( 2<sup>0</sup>=1 , 100<sup>0</sup>=1).</p>
<p>Any number divided by zero results in infinity (we can’t divide).</p>
<p>We can’t take 0<sup>th root.</sup></p>

Glyph is a unique mark placed on a written medium which serves to the meaning of what is written.</p>
<p>It is one of the natural number lies between 4 and 6.</p>
<p><strong>How “5” is used in Mathematics?</strong></p>
<p>In the prime number series 5 stands in the 3<sup>rd</sup> position (1, 3, 5, 7…).</p>
<p>5 can be written as 221+1, so it is classified as a Fermat prime.</p>
<p>5 serve as</p>
<p>: The 3<sup>rd</sup> Germain prime</p>
<p>: The 1<sup>st</sup> safe prime</p>
<p>: The 3<sup>rd</sup> Mersenne prime exponent</p>
<p>: The 3<sup>rd</sup> factorial prime</p>
<p>&amp;</p>
<p>: The 3<sup>rd</sup> Catalan number</p>
<p>Five is the first known good prime which is an Eisenstein prime number that neither have imaginary  part nor it have real part. Eisenstein prime takes the form 3n − 1.</p>
<p>5 is the 5th number in the Fibonacci series (1,1,2,3,5,8…).5 appears in all the Markov Diophantine equation: (1, 2, 5), (1, 5, 13), (2, 5, 29), (5, 13, 194), (5, 29, 433), &#8230; so it is also serves as the Markov number.</p>
<p>In numbers whose base is 10 or 20, 5 serves as a 1-automorphic number.</p>
<p>Normally in mathematics polynomial equations of degree 4 and the below like 3, 2 can be easily solved with radicals. But the degree of equation is 5 and above those can’t be solved.</p>
<p>This is called as the Abel–Ruffini theorem. It is due to the fact, that the symmetric group Sn is solvable if the group is in the order n ≤ 4 and it is not solvable if n ≥ 5.</p>
<p>A graph which is having four or fewer vertices is usually a planar but there some kind of graphs exists with 5 vertices those are usually not planar: K5, the complete graph with 5 vertices.</p>
<p>Generally a planar graph is a graph which can be drawn on the plane. In these graph edges of the vertices intersect only at their endpoints. Other way around, it can be said edges of vertices will not cross each other.</p>
<p>If a polygon is made up of five sides then it is called as pentagon.</p>
<p>A polygon with five sides is a pentagon. Polygonal numbers representing pentagons which also called as the pentagonal numbers.</p>
<p>Another one fact about 5 is the only prime number that ends with the digit 5. It is because all other numbers written with 5 in their one’s place are multiples of 5. So normally the 5 in base 10, five is called as 1- automorphic number<strong>.</strong></p>

<p>The evolution history of the current modern glyph of five cannot be traced back to the Brahmin Indians such that we have done for the numbers 1 to 4. Indian Empires of Gupta  and Kushana had many different glyphs. Interestingly they had no similarity with our modern glyph of 5.</p>
<p title="Punjabi language">The empires of Punjabi and Nagari have taken these glyphs those are similar to the lowercase letter &#8220;h&#8221; rotated to 180°. Later on The Ghubar Arabs has transformed the glyph in many different ways just as Gupta empires. This time more or less it was similar to 4 or 3 than the number 5. From these character representations Europeans finally have given the shape of modern 5.</p>

<p>The alphabet &#8220;O&#8221;&#8230; speaking about it, it&#8217;s the fifteenth letter in English alphabets. It has also got lot of unique characteristics. It has also takes a fame of being the fourth commonly used letter in English.</p>
<p>And it&#8217;s the fourth vowel basic modern Latin alphabet.&#8221; When we trace back the origin of “O” we can hear the sayings of people that say, this letter may initially derived from the Semitic Ayin (eye), which represent a consonant. Moreover, the It might be derived from the Arabic letter ع which was called as <em>`Ayn</em>. If we trace even before This Semitic letter itself has got inspired by the Egyptian symbol for &#8220;eye&#8221;. When the Greek have adapted this letter in order to distinguish the long o (Omega, meaning &#8220;large O&#8221;) and short o (Omicron, meaning &#8220;small o&#8221;) they had introduced the variations.</p>
<p><strong>Various font styles of “O”</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>N</strong></p>
<p> In the ancient days , early forms of N was tied closely with the water. Its name was nun when it was started to use by the Phoenicians around three thousand years ago. The meaning of nun is fish.</p>
<p>It was almost around the 10th century B.C., when the Greeks have started to develop their alphabet by adopting some parts of the Phoenician alphabet as their own. By this way they do acquired as well as preserved its (nun) tradition name. In fact most of the Phoenician character’s name was meaning less to the Greeks. But still its initial sound was retained throughout all the evaluation process. This is the way in which the Phoenician nun has corrupted into the Greek “nu.”</p>
<p>Later this nu was redefined to suite the Greek minds even better. So in greek alone this letter have gone through several variations as shown below</p>
<p><a href="http://www.alphabetfacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/m-Early-Greek-1-.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-825" title="m Early Greek 1" src="http://www.alphabetfacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/m-Early-Greek-1-.png" alt="" width="36" height="52" /></a>Early Greek  <a href="http://www.alphabetfacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/m_early-greek.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-826" title="m_early greek" src="http://www.alphabetfacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/m_early-greek.png" alt="" width="35" height="51" /></a>Early Greek  <a href="http://www.alphabetfacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/n-Later-Greek.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-827" title="n Later Greek" src="http://www.alphabetfacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/n-Later-Greek.png" alt="" width="33" height="49" /></a> Later Greek</p>

<p>In the earlier days the Romans and Greeks, has inscribed their letters in stone directly. So due to this straight process merely there were no variation in stroke thickness. As we all except they all lacked in gaining the curved strokes. Around the first century A.D., in the developed civilization stonecutters has learned to paint the letters before they cut them with hammer and chisel .Hence this pre drawing process was the root cause for the several variance in stroke weight and eventually in serifs.</p>

</strong></p>
<p>In the very beginning , letter M was derived from Egyptian hieroglyphs for owl. Later Phoenician derived this as mem based on Egyptian hieroglyphs. This mem looks like two bumped lower case with tail at their end. This Semitic mem pictured originally as water.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Phoenician people have started to call the letter as mem. In Greek alphabet ,this was called as mu and eventually it was derived from the Phoenician mem. In Greeks alphabet this letter was adopted and has simplified greatly .Later this letter was adopted by the Etruscans as well as Romans. But no further changes have been made to the basic shape. During the third and fourth centuries A.D. the rounded lowercase ‘m’ has started to appear, but this form has started to disappear again in the later centuries.</p>

<p>The letter m is more compressed and angular in formal Gothic book hands. It is made up of repeating units called minims. It is hook shaped and difficult to find whether it is connected or not. Few examples are given below.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.alphabetfacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/image0164.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-818" title="image016" src="http://www.alphabetfacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/image0164.jpg" alt="" width="50" height="50" /></a> This representation of m is from the 13<sup>th</sup> century gothic textura m.</p>

<p><strong>One Specific thing about m</strong></p>
<p>If you take in to account, many words starts with m having a negative connotation. Only very few countable words will have the positive mean. For example the words like Minatory, Malfeasance, Machiavellian exhibit the negative aspect of m.</p>
<p>However the letter m definitely brings one very important thing to all our minds. Yes it is Mac Donald, Mac Donald burgers.</p>
<p><strong>What does M stands for in various fields?</strong></p>

<p>H is the 8<sup>th</sup> letter in our modern alphabet and its history is the most dramatic one. Evaluation history of H remains stable and symmetrical Position of H is same in Semitic, Greek, Etruscan and Latin alphabets.</p>
<p>The letter H is derived from the Semitics from the word ‘kheth’ which means fence. Around 900 B.C. the Greeks borrowed this word (kheth) from the Semitics and eventually they left out it’s top and bottom horizontal bars .In fact they faced some trouble in pronouncing the sound of the kheth, they used it to depict a consonant letter called <em>eta .</em>In the archaic period the same letter was called with the name heta. However, the sign of eta resembles the sound of a long ‘e’, to distinguish it from the sound of short ‘e’ represented by the Greek letter epsilon. Then the Etruscans and Romans re- borrowed the Greek eta and they finally derived the letter H. The Etruscans put the top and bottom crossbars back on the letter, while the Romans continued and bring its original shape H.</p>

<p><strong>Linguistic usage</strong></p>
<p>Use of letter H can be observed in plenty of spelling systems such as digraphs and trigraphs as Th, ch etc. H is silent in a syllable rime. It is even silent in some weak form words E.g how, has, his, when where what why, which</p>
<p>Is H is silent word? Why not, of course H is also a silent word. Sometimes it is sounded as in history and sometimes it is silent as in hour. In sounded H, the word is treated as an consonant and in silent h is treated as an vowel. For example, an hour, a history, etc. In English pronunciation and spelling will not always go together.</p>
<p>Sometimes people spell the words differently depends on the country. Even in America and England it will differ, people in America pronounce the word Herb with silent h as ‘erb’ and people in England will pronounce with sounded h as herb. Sometimes in America and England never use H at all while spelling the words. Some common H silent words are knight, night, flight, tight etc.</p>
<p>AITCH Vs. HAITCH:</p>
<p>Do you know the correct pronunciation of H? Actually aitch is the correct pronunciation as per oxford English dictionary. But many people used to pronounce it as haitch. The origin of haitch appears in Irish. In British English dictionaries the letter H is pronounced as aytch. The words haytch is also attested as a legitimate variant.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">I</p>
<p>The letter &#8216;I&#8217; is the fifth most often used letter in the English, and it is a First Person Term.<br />
“I,” the third vowel is also called close front UN rounded vowel. And it can stand alone to give a meaning and it represents a self.<br />
Talking grammatically “I” represents the first person and it also plays a major role in the “parts of speech”.<br />
“I” normally represents a noun i.e. a person. It is also poetic. All kids like “I” since it normally reminds about the “ice cream”.<br />
When we trace the Origin of I, We can conclude that this letter may have been taken from the Semitic hieroglyph of an arm. In Egyptian tt was used for the voiced pharyngeal fricative (/ʕ/). Later it was reassigned to “j” (as in English &#8220;yes&#8221;) by Semites. This letter could also be used to represent I.<br />
In modern Latin alphabet j was introduced as a variation of I. both were used interchangeably.<br />
Greeks acquired the Phoenician yodh in their alphabet iota (‹Ι, ι›) to represent”I”. In Latin alphabet it was used to indicate “j” .</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>E</strong></p>
<p>         Generally Alphabet of any language has lower case letters as well as upper case letters. Likewise alphabet E has also came to play in two forms .Capital letter ‘E’ and small letter ‘e’ .Alphabet E may initially be used to mean a window, but the original representation depicts a man who is facing us with his raised arms, calling out For praying. Ancient Greeks used “E” to denote the vowel epsilon (E, &#8220;simple E&#8221;) and it was used by the Romans as E.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>E is pronounced as /i:/. Frequency of the Letter E is estimated as 12.70% among all other letters. In ASCII value system binary value of E is 100 0101, in octal it is 105, in decimal numbering system Value of E is 69, in hexadecimal it is represented as 44.</p>
<p>Approximately Before five million years to Ancient Egypt, many experts has believed that the pronunciation of this fifth letter may be derived from the Egyptian hieroglyph of a house or courtyard. Nearly after two thousand years, this hieroglyph has evolved into the Phoenician letter named “he,” which was pronounced as ‘h’ in our modern alphabet.</p>
<p>At the time the Greeks has adopted the Phoenician letters in their writing system, they initially faced much difficulty in using half of the Phoenician letters. Hence many of these confusing characters were altered to get a good synchronization with the Greek language. Some of these characters were got slight change, while others were got a drastic change.</p>
<p>The Greeks faced difficulty with the pronunciation of ‘he’, in fact they couldn’t pronounce the first phoneme of the letter name. By Being the pragmatic people, and the fact that they lived in the less problematic times, their simpler solution was to simply drop the name’s part which caused the difficulty. As an outcome, the Phoenician letter ‘hé’ has become ‘e’. This is the short history of e that tells how the letter e was added into our modern alphabet.</p>
<p>Finally the Greeks are the one who have simplified the shape of the Phoenician letter. They had dropped the initial design so it got a representation like its arms were pointing towards the right.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>D</strong></p>
<p>Generally Alphabet of any language has lower case letters as well as upper case letters. Likewise alphabet D has also came in two forms capital letter ‘D’ and small letter‘d’. Daleth which is the fourth letter of the Hebrew alphabet represented the door. The Greeks has changed the representation and started to call it as the delta (Δ), and later it was passed into the Roman alphabet as D.</p>
<p>D is pronounced as dee or di.Usage frequency of the Letter f among all other letters is estimated as 4.25%. Binary value of D in ASCII is 100 0100, in octal its value is 104, and finally in our common decimal value system it is 68 and in hexadecimal it is 44.</p>
<p>Initially the Egyptians have used the symbol of a hand to represent the phoneme “D,” its purpose was fulfilled correctly. When the Phoenicians have started to adopt many of the hieratic script writing systems for writing (it’s a kind of shortened version of hieroglyphic symbols), they didn’t really aware which signs were actually depicted through the symbols.</p>
<p>If we take as an example, it is obvious that the symbol used to represent a hand in the Egyptians looked exactly like a drawing that represented tent door in the Phoenicians. As an outcome, the Phoenicians had started to call the character “daleth” which is the word give the meaning “door.”</p>
<p>As days have rolled on, in this evolutionary process, the triangular “D” was leant to get balanced on one of its three points. Afterwards, a rounded version was emerged from the basic shape. Etruscans used this softened variant of the letter “D” which was borrowed later by Romans in to their alphabet. Further they refined the shape of “D” into the balanced one. So what we are using today is simplest one among all the variations.</p>
