Uncle (from Latin: avunculus) is a family relationship or kinship, and a parent's male sibling or the male spouse of a parent's sibling. A woman with an equivalent relationship is an aunt, and the reciprocal relationship is that of a nephew or niece.
In some cultures and families, children may refer to the cousins of their parents as "aunt" or "uncle". It is also a title of respect for elders (for example older cousins, neighbors, acquaintances, as well as total), especially in Albania, Bangladesh, Chile, China, Egypt, Ghana, India, Jamaica, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Maori culture, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, Russia, Turkey, Hawaii, Brazil, and most other Pacific Islands. See fictive kinship.

List of EastEnders characters (1986)
The following is a list of characters that first appeared in the BBC soap opera EastEnders in 1986, by order of first appearance.
Winston
Winston is an extra character who is portrayed by Ulric Browne, with his first known on-screen appearance being in 1986. However, he is not credited for his role until later on in the series. Winston owns the music stall in Walford's Bridge Street Market and over the years proves to be a great friend to his fellow long-standing stall-holder, Mark Fowler (Todd Carty). His highlights include shaving his tuft of hair off for charity and helping Ethel Skinner (Gretchen Franklin) arrive at her birthday party on the night she dies. He is angry when Ian Beale's (Adam Woodyatt) car crashes into his stall in October 2006.
Winston is always willing to help when other market traders are called away, for example, to appear in a key development of a current plot, e.g. when Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) needs someone to guard her clothing stall while she and Max Branning (Jake Wood) slip into an unguarded bedroom to continue the next episode in their illicit affair. Winston generally appears at events held by other Walford residents, such as weddings, funerals and parties or briefly in the background of a scene. He attends the funerals of Pauline Fowler (Wendy Richard), Pat Evans (Pam St. Clement) and Archie Mitchell (Larry Lamb), stag parties for Garry Hobbs (Ricky Groves), Lucas Johnson (Don Gilet) and Ricky Butcher (Sid Owen), Jean Slater's (Gillian Wright) birthday party and Ricky and Bianca Jackson's (Patsy Palmer) wedding. Sometimes characters steal DVDs or CDs from his stall, including Jay Brown (Jamie Borthwick).

- minor third, a third encompassing three half steps, or semitones
- neutral third, wider than a minor third but narrower than a major third
- augmented third, an interval of five semitones
- diminished third, produced by narrowing a minor third by a chromatic semitone
- mediant, third degree of the diatonic scale
- submediant, sixth degree of the diatonic scale – three steps below the tonic
- chromatic mediant, chromatic relationship by thirds
Degree (angle)
A degree (in full, a degree of arc, arc degree, or arcdegree), usually denoted by ° (the degree symbol), is a measurement of plane angle, representing 1⁄360 of a full rotation. It is not an SI unit, as the SI unit for angles is radian, but it is mentioned in the SI brochure as an accepted unit. Because a full rotation equals 2π radians, one degree is equivalent to π/180 radians.
History
The original motivation for choosing the degree as a unit of rotations and angles is unknown. One theory states that it is related to the fact that 360 is approximately the number of days in a year. Ancient astronomers noticed that the sun, which follows through the ecliptic path over the course of the year, seems to advance in its path by approximately one degree each day. Some ancient calendars, such as the Persian calendar, used 360 days for a year. The use of a calendar with 360 days may be related to the use of sexagesimal numbers.
Another theory is that the Babylonians subdivided the circle using the angle of an equilateral triangle as the basic unit and further subdivided the latter into 60 parts following their sexagesimal numeric system. The earliest trigonometry, used by the Babylonian astronomers and their Greek successors, was based on chords of a circle. A chord of length equal to the radius made a natural base quantity. One sixtieth of this, using their standard sexagesimal divisions, was a degree.
