My Beautiful Laundrette is a 1985 British comedy-drama film directed by Stephen Frears from a screenplay by Hanif Kureishi. The film was also one of the first films released by Working Title Films.

The story focuses on Omar, a young Pakistani man living in London, and his reunion and eventual romance with his old friend, a street punk named Johnny. The two become the caretakers and business managers of a launderette originally...

I'm no pedantic, but I like ubiquitous. This is just my personal opinion, but distributed sounds to me like it should be used with more tangible nouns like distributing flyers or drugs. Whereas ubiquitous sounds like it can be used with both tangible and nontangible things, like a teaching job.

Bind and link are both verb and noun but the difference in meaning between these words are quite hard for me to catch.
I'd say the "the moral bind of the law" to express that both of them are tied tightly together. In the other hand, link would express more an relationship if I see it correctly...

In the foundations of mathematics, Russell's paradox (also known as Russell's antinomy), discovered by Bertrand Russell in 1901, showed that the naive set theory created by Georg Cantor leads to a contradiction. The same paradox had been discovered a year before by Ernst Zermelo but he did not publish the idea, which remained known only to Hilbert, Husserl and other members of the University of Göttingen.
Let R be the set of all sets that are not members of themselves. If R qualifies as a member of itself, it would contradict its own definition as a set containing sets that are not member...
Onocentaur (Latin: onocentaurus, from Ancient Greek: Ονοκένταυροι - Onokéntauroi) is an animal from Medieval bestiaries.
== Description ==
The onocentaur is similar to the centaur, but part human, part donkey. As with many liminal beings, the onocentaur's nature is one of conflict between its human and animal components.
The first mention by Pythagoras was in the time of rule of Ptolemy II Philadelphus, as quoted by Claudius Aelianus in De Natura Animalium. Aelian as well uses the term onokentaura for description of the female form. He interpreted the onocentaur as: "its body resembles that of...

A coprolite is fossilized feces. Coprolites are classified as trace fossils as opposed to body fossils, as they give evidence for the animal's behaviour (in this case, diet) rather than morphology. The name is derived from the Greek words κόπρος (kopros, meaning "dung") and λίθος (lithos, meaning "stone"). They were first described by William Buckland in 1829. Prior to this they were known as "fossil fir cones" and "bezoar stones". They serve a valuable purpose in paleontology because they provide direct evidence of the predation and diet of extinct organisms. Coprolites may range in size from...
