78 RPM
A phonograph record (also known as a gramophone record, especially in British English) or a vinyl record (for later varieties only) is an analog sound storage medium in the form of a flat disc with an inscribed, modulated spiral groove. The groove usually starts near the outside edge and ends near the center of the disc. The stored sound information is made audible by playing the record on a phonograph (or "gramophone", "turntable", or "record player"). Records have been produced in different formats with playing times ranging from a few minutes to around 30 minutes per side. For about half a century, the discs were commonly made from shellac and these records typically ran at a rotational speed of 78 rpm, giving it the nickname "78s" ("seventy-eights"). After the 1940s, "vinyl" records made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) became standard replacing the old 78s and remain so to this day; they have since been produced in various sizes and speeds, most commonly 7-inch discs pla ...

The 78
The 78 is a plot of land in Chicago from Roosevelt Road south to 16th Street and Clark Street west to the Chicago River that is not developed as of June 2025. The plot of land gained its name from a proposal in 2018, not built, that consisted of several office and residential towers, high-rises, and include a riverwalk. Related Midwest, owner of the site, would develop the site, and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill designed the project's master plan. Related Midwest acquired the land in 2016. The 78 was to include a $1.2 billion research center called the Discovery Partners Institute, which operated by the University of Illinois. That project may be built further to the south in Chicago. In April 2019, the Chicago City Council approved The 78 development, including a tax increment financing agreement. It was not built. In 2021, it was proposed to put a Rivers Casino in The 78 as part of the Chicago Casino Proposals, but the city selected a site in the River West district near th ...

78 Diana
78 Diana is a large and dark main-belt asteroid. It was discovered by German astronomer Robert Luther on March 15, 1863, and named after Diana, Roman goddess of the hunt. The asteroid is orbiting the Sun at a distance of with a period of 4.24 years and an eccentricity (ovalness) of 0.207. The orbital plane is tilted at an angle of 8.688° relative to the plane of the ecliptic. Its composition is carbonaceous and primitive. Photometric observations of this asteroid during 1986 and 2006–08 gave a light curve with a rotation period of 7.2991 hours and a brightness variation in the range 0.02–0.104 magnitude. Based upon radar data, the near surface solid density of the asteroid is 2.7. 78 Diana occulted a star on September 4, 1980. A diameter of 116 km was measured, closely matching the value given by the IRAS satellite A satellite or an artificial satellite is an object, typically a spacecraft, placed into orbit around a celestial body.

'78 (other)
The ampersand, also known as the and sign, is the logogram , representing the conjunction "and". It originated as a ligature of the letters of the word (Latin for "and"). Etymology Traditionally in English, when spelling aloud, any letter that could also be used as a word in itself ("A", "I", and " O") was referred to by the Latin expression ('by itself'), as in "''per se'' A" or "A ''per se'' A". The character &, when used by itself as opposed to more extended forms such as ''&c.'', was similarly referred to as "and ''per se'' and". This last phrase was routinely slurred to "ampersand", and the term had entered common English usage by 1837. It has been falsely claimed that André-Marie Ampère used the symbol in his widely read publications and that people began calling the new shape "Ampère's and". History The ampersand can be traced back to the 1st century AD and the old Roman cursive, in which the letters E and T occasionally were written together to form ...
