Pentagonal prism

In geometry, the pentagonal prism is a prism with a pentagonal base. It is a type of heptahedron with 7 faces, 15 edges, and 10 vertices.

As a semiregular (or uniform) polyhedron

If faces are all regular, the pentagonal prism is a semiregular polyhedron, more generally, a uniform polyhedron, and the third in an infinite set of prisms formed by square sides and two regular polygon caps. It can be seen as a truncated pentagonal hosohedron, represented by Schläfli symbol t{2,5}. Alternately it can be seen as the Cartesian product of a regular pentagon and a line segment, and represented by the product {5}x{}. The dual of a pentagonal prism is a pentagonal bipyramid.

The symmetry group of a right pentagonal prism is D_5h of order 20. The rotation group is D₅ of order 10.

Volume

The volume, as for all prisms, is the product of the area of the pentagonal base times the height or distance along any edge perpendicular to the base. For a uniform pentagonal prism with edges h the formula is

Pip (musician)

Pip (born "Phillip Andrew Arnold" in Marietta, Georgia on April 26, 1992) is an American funk-pop artist who participated in season 2 of The Voice as part of Team Adam Levine.

Early life

During his childhood, Pip was interested in music, reading, lacrosse, and Boy Scouts of America, attaining the rank of Eagle Scout in 2009.

Pip's musical aspirations were fostered by his older sister who holds a degree in musical theater. Growing up in a large musical family Pip learned to play various instruments, mainly piano, sang lead in local shows, and performed/entertained in the Marietta area. During four years at Kennesaw Mountain High School Pip starred in several plays, landing the lead of Huckleberry Finn during his senior year in the musical Big River.

The Glee Project and The Voice

Pip auditioned in 2011 for Oxygen show The Glee Project Season 1, landing a spot only on the first episode's audition rounds. In 2011 Pip was chosen as 1 of 5 select performers from Atlanta's 11alive "The Voice" VIP Early Auditions Contest (Pip was selected during a blind audition by co-host Chesley McNeil). Pip moved forward into national auditions and was picked as 1 of 120 contestants to fly out to Studio City, California for the blind auditions of NBCUniversal TV reality show The Voice.

Numeral (linguistics)

In linguistics, a numeral is a member of a word class (or sometimes even a part of speech) designating numbers, such as the English word 'two' and the compound 'seventy-seven'.

Identifying numerals

Numerals may be attributive, as in two dogs, or pronominal, as in I saw two (of them).

Many words of different parts of speech indicate number or quantity. Quantifiers do not enumerate, or designate a specific number, but give another, often less specific, indication of amount. Examples are words such as every, most, least, some, etc. There are also number words which enumerate but are not a distinct part of speech, such as 'dozen', which is a noun, 'first', which is an adjective, or 'twice', which is an adverb. Numerals enumerate, but in addition have distinct grammatical behavior: when a numeral modifies a noun, it may replace the article: the/some dogs played in the park → twelve dogs played in the park. (Note that *dozen dogs played in the park is not grammatical, so 'dozen' is not a numeral.)

Fifteen (band)

Fifteen was a punk rock band formed by Jeff Ott. Ott was the group's main songwriter and only consistent member. According to Ott, the band had a total of fifteen members by the time it finally disbanded in 2000: Jack Curran, Mikey Mischief, Mark Moreno, Jean Repetto, Lucky Dog, Chris Flanagan, John Ogle, Jesse Wickman, Joe Cable, John Quintos, Scott Pierce, Jim Prior, Lisa D., Vanessa Bain and himself.

History

Fifteen formed in 1989 in Benicia, California. Their early releases were on Lookout! Records. Then Grass Records. Then put out one album themselves, extra-medium.

The band broke up for the first time in 1996, following the release of Extra Medium Kick Ball Star (17). Their last show was memorialized on the live record Allegra.

Fifteen reformed in late 1997 with Ott and several members of the original line-up. In 1999 they released Lucky on Subcity Records and participated in that label's first Take Action Tour. Most of the Lucky album, are song first done by a band that attempted to not have a name, but was named by others, jeff, tim, and adam. This line-up dissolved following the departure of Jean during the albums recording, and then Scoot leaving just after the Take Action Tour.

Jamie's Kitchen

Jamie's Kitchen is a five-part British documentary television series that aired on Channel 4 from 5 November to 12 December 2002. It follows chef Jamie Oliver as he attempts to train a group of fifteen disadvantaged youth, who will — if they complete the course — be offered jobs at Oliver's new restaurant Fifteen. The series was executive produced by Peter Moore for Talkback Productions, and has since spawned several others along similar lines.

Original show

Of the original fifteen chefs, five went on to secure cooking careers. Elisa Roche (the only girl to graduate), Ralph Johnson, Tim Siadatan, Ben Arthur and Warren Fleet all ended up working in some of London's best restaurants. Johnny Broadfoot, one of the younger original Fifteen chefs (who graduated after the previous five), has since returned to Sydney, Australia and is head chef his co-owned new restaurant/bar El Beau Room in Manly, which opened in July 2013.

An article about bullying in the catering industry, written by Elisa Roche for The Guardian, now forms part of the national curriculum. "If you can't stand the heat... get some balls" is now used as a study paper by English GCSE students. It is the only English GCSE study paper containing the word "bollocks". As of January 2013 Elisa is Showbiz Editor for the Daily Express.
