7 (seven) is the natural number following 6 and preceding 8. It is the only prime number preceding a cube (algebra), cube. As an early prime number in the series of positive integers, the number seven has symbolic associations in religion, mythology, superstition and philosophy. The seven classical planets resulted in seven being the number of days in a week. 7 is often considered lucky in Western culture and is often seen as highly symbolic. Evolution of the Arabic digit For early Brahmi numerals, 7 was written more or less in one stroke as a curve that looks like an uppercase vertically inverted (ᒉ). The western Arab peoples' main contribution was to make the longer line diagonal rather than straight, though they showed some tendencies to making the digit more rectilinear. The eastern Arab peoples developed the digit from a form that looked something like 6 to one that looked like an uppercase V. Both modern Arab forms influenced the European form, a two-stroke form cons ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

8 (eight) is the natural number following 7 and preceding 9. Etymology English ''eight'', from Old English '', æhta'', Proto-Germanic ''*ahto'' is a direct continuation of Proto-Indo-European '' *oḱtṓ(w)-'', and as such cognate with Greek and Latin , both of which stems are reflected by the English prefix oct(o)-, as in the ordinal adjective ''octaval'' or ''octavary'', the distributive adjective is ''octonary''. The adjective ''octuple'' (Latin ) may also be used as a noun, meaning "a set of eight items"; the diminutive ''octuplet'' is mostly used to refer to eight siblings delivered in one birth. The Semitic numeral is based on a root ''*θmn-'', whence Akkadian ''smn-'', Arabic ''ṯmn-'', Hebrew ''šmn-'' etc. The Chinese numeral, written (Mandarin: ''bā''; Cantonese: ''baat''), is from Old Chinese ''*priāt-'', ultimately from Sino-Tibetan ''b-r-gyat'' or ''b-g-ryat'' which also yielded Tibetan '' brgyat''. It has been argued that, as the cardinal num ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
A1 Team Singapore
A1 Team Singapore represented Singapore in the A1 Grand Prix motor racing championship. History Singapore's participation in A1GP came as a result of founder Maktoum Hasher Maktoum Al Maktoum approaching the state government about hosting a round of the inaugural season in the city state. The Singaporean authorities turned down the offer on the basis that it was too risky to close the city for a street race run by an unproven championship, and instead opted to enter a team. The outfit struggled to find sponsorship to fund set-up, going so far as to advertise in The New Paper. A1 Team Singapore missed the deadline to enter the first season, but found support from lawyer Krishna Ramachandra, footballers R. Sasikumar, Luis Figo and Ronaldo, and 300 citizens who pledged SG$50 in exchange for their names to be stickered onto the rear wing ahead of their debut in the 2006–07 season. West Surrey Racing were contracted to operate the team. Former Formula Asia champion Denis Lian ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
