Wikipedia Trails: From Chief to French Revolution

I read the Twenty Tales of Jataka and was interested in starting my search with Chief. This is a nod to the chief dog. There are many different meanings of chief. It is mostly related to different types of rankings and leadership among military and law enforcement. Chief seems to be a term that means you are respected.

Next I went to Commander-in-chief. The commander-in-chief of the US is President Trump. This term follows the idea of civilian control of the military. There are a multitude of countries that have commander-in-chief's and everyone has different stipulations on how you get this title.

Next I went to Warlord. This name just sounded interesting to me. Being a warlord is due to the person's ability to mobilize loyal armed forces. The first use of the word warlord is from American poet Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Finally I went to the French Revolution. I honestly just tried to find the most random thing that I could. The French Revolution was when the revolution overthrew the monarchy. I lot of stuff went down. There was a lot of violence during this time.

Wikipedia Trails from serpent to violin concerto

I was reading a story with serpents in it earlier this week. I looked up what a serpent is. It is just a carnivorous reptile. It is pretty much a snake. It is used in a lot of different styles of mythology.

Next I went to the Hydra which is a constellation. This constellation is the largest of 88 modern constellations. The Hydra looks like a serpent in the sky.

Next I went to William Herschel. I went here because Herschel was my favorite character on The Walking Dead. But William Herschel is a British Astronomer. He constructed the first large telescope.

Finally I went to violin concerto. This is a solo violin piece often for an ensemble or orchestra. Many major composers are violin players. The violin is a beautiful instrument.

Wikipedia Trail: From mobile phone to refraction

I just wrote a post about talking to a friend, so my first word I searched was phone. I wanted to learn more about the object that I spend a lot of my time on!
mobile phone

The next trail was the cellular network wikipedia page. I never know what Sprint or Verizon are talking about so I read up on cellular network. All it means is that the last link is wireless.

The next page I went to was radio wave. This is so very interesting! There is an animation that really caught my eye. I did not know that the use of radio waves is regulated by the law.

The last page I went to was refraction. This is a phenomenon that is easily explained by the conservation of energy. There are equations that show refraction.
