A round number is mathematically defined as the product of a considerable number of comparatively small factors ref http mathworld.wolfram.com RoundNumber.html MathWorld s definition of a round number ref as compared to its neighbouring numbers, such as 24 2 2 2 3 4 factors, as opposed to 3 factors for 27 2 factors for 21, 22, 25, and 26 and 1 factor for 23 . However, a round number is informally considered to be an integer that ends with one or more 0 number zero es 0 , such as 1,000, 1,500,000, etc., and a number ending in 5 might be considered in a way more round than one ending in neither 0 nor 5. Even a non integer such as 2.5 might be seen as more round than, say, 2.497 especially if written as 2.500 . When a quantity is known only to a low precision, a calculation that gives a non round number is oftentimes rounding rounded in order to avoid giving a false impression of accuracy. When counting or measuring, people usually view a roll over to a round number as a milestone. This fascination led people to celebrate a new millennium at the beginning of the year 2000, even though the official millennium change didn t occur until 2001. A roll over that adds another numerical digit digit is often seen as particularly exciting. Numbers can also be considered round in numeral system numbering systems other than decimal base 10 . For example, the number 1024 would not be considered round in decimal, but the same number ends with a zero in several other numbering systems including binary numeral system binary , octal , and hexadecimal .

Kienzle is a family name originating in the Swabian German Swabian speaking areas of Southwestern Germany. The traditional Swabian pronunciation of the name is IPA gsw ki ntsl , and in Standard German it is pronounced with a long IPA i rather than a diphthong IPA de ki ntsl . It is quite common in Swabia and other Alemannic German Alemannic speaking areas. Other forms of the name include K nzli in Switzerland pronounced IPA de ky ntsli or IPA xy ntsli . Etymology The name is ultimately derived from Middle High German Kuonr t the keen advisor from which the German first name Konrad is also derived. The appreviated form of Konrad is Kunz, which yielded the Swabian diminutive K enzle which was subsequently changed to Kienzle through the de rounding of front vowels around the 13th 14th century ref Werner K nig dtv Atlas der deutschen Sprache.

If the surfaces are at right angles, the chamfer will typically be symmetrical at 45 degrees. A fillet mechanics fillet is the rounding off of an interior corner. A rounding of an exterior corner is called a round ref Madsen et al., Engineering Drawing and Design page 179. Delmar, 2004 ISBN 0 7668 1634 6 ref or a radius . Chamfer is a term commonly used in mechanical engineering mechanical and manufacturing engineering . Special tools such as chamfer mill s and chamfer plane s are available. In tile work, or furniture such as counters or table tops, an edge or arris that has been eased by rounding instead of chamfering is called a bullnose . Where a chamfer does not go to the end of the piece, but lifts out in a smooth curve, the end is called a lark s tongue . An example of chamfering is part of the process of hand crafting a parabolic glass telescope mirror. Before the surface of the disc can be ground, the edges must first be chamfered to prevent chipping. This can be accomplished by placing the disc in a metal bowl containing silicon carbide and rotating the disc with a rocking motion. The grit will thus wear off the sharp edge of the glass.

The Legal Tender Modernization Act USBill 107 HR 2528 was a bill proposed by United States Representative Jim Kolbe of Arizona in 2002. Its main goal was to stop the continual production of Cent United States coin pennies . The bill also mentions other provisions including Allows the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to print postage stamps, currency, and security documents for foreign governments and U.S. states or political subdivisions in order to make foreign currency consistent with U.S. foreign policy . Five different new designs each year for the United States two dollar bill 2 Federal reserve notes . Prohibits redesigning the United States one dollar bill 1 Federal Reserve Note , as it is not as inclined into being counterfeited therefore there is no need of a redesign. States that the seigniorage the U.S. government s profit earned from selling money to the Federal Reserve should be included in the budget as a receipt. The bill failed to advance in the house and died when the 107th Congress adjourned. Criticism Critics of the Legal Tender Modernization Act state that by eliminating the penny, the rounding system would increase prices that could hurt the consumer, especially the lower class. Kolbe however has responded to such criticism and has stated that the rounding system favors neither the consumer nor the retailer because the probability of rounding up or down is 50 percent either way it would all come out even in the end. ref http www.gop.gov item news.asp?docId 42718 ref Other common criticisms include charitable causes depending on the penny, its perceived historical importance, and the adverse effect on the zinc industry as a penny is 97.5 zinc. ref http www.pennies.org profit.html dead link date May 2011 ref ref cite web author By Annelena Lobb, CNN Money Staff Writer url http money.cnn.com 2002 04 11 pf q pennies title Should the penny go?

The rim of Theaetetus is distinctly polygon al in shape, with a slight rounding at the vertices. There is a low outer wikt rampart rampart and a slight central rise on the crater floor, which is offset to the northeast of the crater mid point. The interior is otherwise relatively featureless. This crater has been noted in the past as a site of possible Transient lunar phenomenon transient lunar phenomena . In 1902, a white cloud was observed briefly in the vicinity of the crater.
