Stellar kinematics is the study of the movement of star s without needing to understand how they acquired their motion. This differs from stellar dynamics , which takes into account gravity gravitational effects . The motion of a star relative to the Sun can provide useful information about the origin and age of a star, as well as the structure and evolution of the surrounding galaxy . In astronomy , it is widely accepted that most stars are born within molecular clouds known as molecular cloud stellar nurseries . The stars formed within such a cloud compose open clusters containing dozens to thousands of members. These clusters dissociate with time. Stars that separate themselves from the cluster s core are designated as members of the cluster s stellar association . If the remnant later drifts through the galaxy as a coherent assemblage, then it is termed a moving group . Space velocity The component of stellar motion toward or away from the Sun, known as radial velocity , can be measured from the spectrum shift caused by the Doppler effect . The transverse, or proper motion must be found by taking a series of positional determinations against more distant objects. Once the distance to a star is determined through astrometric means such as parallax , the space velocity can be computed. ref name atoe05 cite web date 2005 08 18 title Stellar Motions Extension url http outreach.atnf.csiro.au ...

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 In Australian rules football , the forward line refers to a set of attacking positions on the field. The forward line consists of three players, a left and right forward pocket , and a full forward . Up until approximately 20 years ago, the forward pockets were often the resting rover or ruckman. The advent of unlimited interchanges, as opposed to single player replacements in the mid 70s has changed the roles to specialist positions, rather than temporary placements. The forward pocket player is usually a medium sized leading forward, or a small sized crumbing forward . Examples of a small crumbing forward pocket players include Stephen Milne , Nathan Brown Australian footballer, born 1978 Nathan Brown , Phillip Matera Jeff Farmer footballer Jeff Farmer and Ashley Sampi . Examples of medium sized leading forwards include Brad Johnson Australian rules footballer Brad Johnson , Mark L. Williams and Paul Medhurst .

Multiple issues wikify February 2012 orphan February 2009 refimprove July 2007 There seems to be confusion online about what forward anonymity and perfect forward anonymity actually are. Forward anonymity is analogous to forward secrecy . When speaking of forward secrecy, system designers attempt to prevent an attacker who has recorded past communications from discovering the contents of said communications later on. One example of a system which satisfies the perfect forward secrecy property is one in which a compromise of one key by an attacker and consequent decryption of messages encrypted with that key does not undermine the security of previously used keys. When speaking of forward anonymity, system designers attempt to prevent an attacker who has recorded past communications from discovering the identities of the participants, even after the fact. This property is not to be confused with sender receiver anonymity, in which the identity of the sender receiver remains unknown to all entities in the system.

A point forward is usually described as a forward either a small forward or a power forward basketball power forward who possesses the ball handling skills and court vision to bring the ball up the court and to initiate the team s offense. Having the ball in the point forward s hands increases offensive mobility by allowing guards to move without the ball and create plays when they receive the ball. Point forwards also need to be competent ball handlers and passers. As such, the point forward is a particularly viable option for teams with offensively skilled shooting guard s or combo guard s playing on the court.

Unreferenced date September 2007 File Patrick Ewing ca. 1995.jpg 150px thumb right Patrick Ewing Forward center is a basketball basketball position position for players who play or have played both forward basketball forward and center basketball center on a consistent basis. Typically, this means power forward basketball power forward and center, since these are usually the two biggest player positions on any basketball team, and therefore more often overlap each other. Forward center came into the basketball jargon as the game evolved and became more specialized in the 1960s. In fact, the five positions on court were originally known only as guard basketball guard , forward and center, but it is now generally accepted that the five primary positions are point guard , shooting guard , small forward , power forward and center. Typically, a forward center is a talented forward who also came to play minutes at center on teams that needed help at that position. Or the player could be a somewhat floor bound center, under seven feet tall at the National Basketball Association NBA level, whose skills also suit him to a power forward position, especially if that team has a better center. One such player is Marcus Camby of the Portland Trail Blazers . At 6 11 in height, he generally plays the position of center, but when he played for the New York Knicks earlier in his career, he mostly played power forward due to his team having one of the better pure centers in the league in Patrick Ewing . Ewing himself was used as a forward center early in his career to use his offensive game to complement the then incumbent Knicks center Bill Cartwright . Ralph Sampson was another notable forward center during that time who played center his rookie year in 1983. In 1984, at 7 feet 4 inches, he moved to power forward when Hakeem Olajuwon was drafted that year.
