The Night

Shuffling of leaves beyond the mist of the night. Shadows engulf images and whispers penetrate walls. Moonlight ravenously cuts through curtained windows. Howling dogs continue without concern. Gentle breaths fill bedrooms. Sometimes overpowered by the gusts of snores. A scribbling pen joins the night orchestra. Ending with the crescendo of day break.

• Parts of a grasshopper

1. Head: The anterior part of an insect body with eyes, antennae, and mouthparts.
2. Thorax: The body section after the head, with the legs and wings attached. There are three sections of the thorax: the prothorax, the mesothorax, and the metathorax.
3. Abdomen: The posterior section of the body containing the reproductive and digestive organs.
Spiracles: Breathing pores.
4. Coxa: The section of a leg that is attached to the body.
5. Trochanter: The second segment of a leg, between the coxa and the femur.
6. Femur: The third segment of a leg, between the trochanter and the tibia. (Grasshoppers and other jumping insects have enlarged hind femora with powerful muscles).
7. Tibia: The fourth segment of a leg, between the femur and the tarsus.
8. Tarsus: The leg segment after the tibia, often subdivided into several sections.
9. Genitalia: The sexual organs.
10. Wings: Outgrowths of the body wall that enable insects to fly. The first pair of wings is sometimes modified into a protective covering for the hind wings.


• Parts of guns
1. Action: The part of a firearm that loads, fires, and ejects a cartridge. Includes lever action, pump action, bolt action, and semi-automatic.
2. Barrel: The metal tube through which the bullet is fired.
3. Bore: The inside of the barrel. "Smoothbore" weapons (typically shotguns) have no rifling. Most handguns and rifles have "rifling".
4. Breech: The end of the barrel attached to the action.
5. Bullets: The projectile. They are shaped or composed differently for a variety of purposes.
6. Butt or buttstock: The portion of the gun which is held or shouldered.
7. Caliber: The diameter of the bore measured from land to land, usually expressed in hundredths of an inch (.22 cal) or in millimeters (9mm).
8. Cartridge: Also called a "round". Made up of a case, primer, powder, and bullet.
9. Chamber: The portion of the "action" that holds the cartridge ready for firing.
10. Double-action: Pulling the trigger both cocks the hammer and fires the gun.
11. Double barrel: Two barrels side by side or one on top of the other, usually on a shotgun.
12. Hammer: A metal rod or plate that typically drives a firing pin to strike the cartridge primer to detonate the powder.
13. Magazine: This is a device for storing cartridges in a repeating firearm for loading into the chamber.
14. Muzzle: The end of the barrel out of which the bullet comes.
15. Safety: A mechanism on an action to prevent firing of the gun.
16. Sights: The device(s) on top of a barrel that allow the gun to be aimed.
17. Silencer: A device that fits over the muzzle of the barrel to muffle the sound of a gunshot. Most work by baffling the escape of gases.
18. Single-action: The hammer must be manually cocked before the trigger can be pulled to fire the gun.
19. Stock: A wood, metal, or plastic frame that holds the barrel and action and allows the gun to be held firmly.
• Parts of books

1. THE BOARDS: The stiff binding material of a book is called a board. Every book has two boards, a front board and a rear board.
2. THE SPINE: The spine is the book's backbone. Because the spine is generally all you can see when a book is on the shelf, the spine displays the title and author of the book and is often ornately decorated. The top edge of the spine is called the head and the bottom edge the tail.
3. THE HINGE:The hinge is the joint of the binding of a book,
the part that bends when the book is opened.
4. THE EDGES:The edges are the three outer surfaces of the leaves (or pages) of a book.
5. THE END PAPERS (ep): The end papers are the sheets of paper pasted onto the inside of the boards, joining the text block to the covers. One side of the sheet is pasted to the inside cover, the other is left free.
6. THE DUST JACKET (dj): Also known as a dustwrapper (dw) the dust jacket is the (usually) decorative paper wrapper placed around a book for protection.
7. ILLUSTRATIONS: An illustration is a design, picture, plate, plan, diagram, chart, or map printed within the block of the book.
8. A plate is a whole-page illustration printed separately from the text. This book has a intricately illustrated fold-out plate
9. This illustration is printed in the text pages and is therefore called a cut.


• Parts of cars
• The engine
• Vehicle Frame
• Covering body (including interiors in case of four wheelers)
• Suspension, brakes & wheels
Key engine parts:
1. Spark plug
The spark plug supplies the spark that ignites the air/fuel mixture so that combustion can occur. The spark must happen at just the right moment for things to work properly.
2. Valves
The intake and exhaust valves open at the proper time to let in air and fuel and to let out exhaust. Note that both valves are closed during compression and combustion so that the combustion chamber is sealed.
3. Piston
A piston is a cylindrical piece of metal that moves up and down inside the cylinder.
4. Piston rings
Piston rings provide a sliding seal between the outer edge of the piston and the inner edge of the cylinder. The rings prevent the fuel/air mixture and exhaust in the combustion chamber from leaking into the sump during compression and combustion.
They keep oil in the sump from leaking into the combustion area, where it would be burned and lost. Most cars that "burn oil" and have to have a quart added every 1,000 miles are burning it because the engine is old and the rings no longer seal things properly.
5. Connecting rod
The connecting rod connects the piston to the crankshaft. It can rotate at both ends so that its angle can change as the piston moves and the crankshaft rotates.
6. Crankshaft
The crankshaft turns the piston's up and down motion into circular motion just like a crank on a jack-in-the-box does.
7. Sump
The sump surrounds the crankshaft. It contains some amount of oil, which collects in the bottom of the sump (the oil pan).
