The Expanding Circle's longest chapter concerns the relationship between reason and ethics. [2] Singer discusses the relationship between biological capacity for altruism and morality. He argues that altruism, when directed to one's small circle of family, tribe or even nation, is not moral, but it becomes so when applied to wider circles.
Multiple of these linkages can be joined together at the ends of the angulated bars by more revolute joints, expanding radially to make circle shaped mechanisms. The mechanism is a GAE (generalize angulated element) where the coupler curve is a radial straight line. [ 2 ]
A Hoberman Sphere at the National Museum of American History Second largest Hoberman sphere in the world, undergoing maintenance at Liberty Science Center. A Hoberman sphere is a kinetic structure patented by Chuck Hoberman that resembles a geodesic dome, but is capable of folding down to a fraction of its normal size by the scissor-like action of its joints.
The total in this expanding circle is the most difficult to estimated because English may be employed for specific, limited purposes, usually business English. The estimates of these users range from 100 million to one billion. [citation needed] The inner circle (UK, US, etc.) is 'norm-providing'.

The most efficient way to pack different-sized circles together is not obvious. In geometry, circle packing is the study of the arrangement of circles (of equal or varying sizes) on a given surface such that no overlapping occurs and so that no circle can be enlarged without creating an overlap.
Circles and circular arcs can be drawn starting from two given points: the centre and a point on the circle. The compass may or may not collapse (i.e. fold after being taken off the page, erasing its 'stored' radius). Lines and circles constructed have infinite precision and zero width.
