2 (two) is a number, numeral and digit. It is the natural number following 1 and preceding 3. It is the smallest and only even prime number. Because it forms the basis of a duality, it has religious and spiritual significance in many cultures.

Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms in the biological kingdom Animalia. With few exceptions, animals consume organic material, breathe oxygen, have myocytes and are able to move, can reproduce sexually, and grow from a hollow sphere of cells, the blastula, during embryonic development. Animals form a clade, meaning that they arose from a single common ancestor.

Over 1.5 million living animal species have been described, of which around 1.05 million are insects, over 85,000 are molluscs, and around 65,000 are vertebrates. It has been estimated there are as many as 7.77 million animal species on Earth. Animal body lengths range from 8.5 μm (0.00033 in) to 33.6 m (110 ft). They have complex ecologies and interactions with each other and their environments, forming intricate food webs. The scientific study of animals is known as zoology, and the study of animal behaviors is known as ethology.

Most living animal species belong to the infrakingdom Bilateria, a highly proliferative clade whose members have a bilaterally symmetric body plan. The vast majority belong to two large superphyla: the protostomes, which includes organisms such as the arthropods, molluscs, flatworms, annelids and nematodes; and the deuterostomes, which include the echinoderms, hemichordates and chordates, the latter of which contains the vertebrates. The simple Xenacoelomorpha have an uncertain position within Bilateria.

Animals first appear in the fossil record in the late Cryogenian period, and diversified in the subsequent Ediacaran. Earlier evidence of animals is still controversial; the sponge-like organism Otavia has been dated all the way back to the Tonian period, but its identity as an animal is heavily contested. Nearly all modern animal phyla became clearly established in the fossil record as marine species during the Cambrian explosion, which began around 539 million years ago (Mya), and most classes during the Ordovician radiation 485.4 Mya. 6,331 groups of genes common to all living animals have been identified; these may have arisen from a single common ancestor that lived about 650 Mya during the Cryogenian period.

Historically, Aristotle divided animals into those with blood and those without. Carl Linnaeus created the first hierarchical biological classification for animals in 1758 with his Systema Naturae, which Jean-Baptiste Lamarck expanded into 14 phyla by 1809. In 1874, Ernst Haeckel divided the animal kingdom into the multicellular Metazoa (now synonymous with Animalia) and the Protozoa, single-celled organisms no longer considered animals. In modern times, the biological classification of animals relies on advanced techniques, such as molecular phylogenetics, which are effective at demonstrating the evolutionary relationships between taxa.

Humans make use of many other animal species for food (including meat, eggs and dairy products), for materials (such as leather, fur and wool), as pets and as working animals for transportation, and services. Dogs, the first domesticated animal, have been used in hunting, in security and in warfare, as have horses, pigeons and birds of prey, while other terrestrial and aquatic animals are hunted for sports, trophies or profits. Non-human animals are also an important cultural element of human evolution, having appeared in cave arts and totems since the earliest times, and are frequently featured in mythology, religion, arts, literature, heraldry, politics and sports.

A ball is a round object (usually spherical, but can sometimes be ovoid) with several uses. It is used in ball games, where the play of the game follows the state of the ball as it is hit, kicked or thrown by players. Balls can also be used for simpler activities, such as catch or juggling. Balls made from hard-wearing materials are used in engineering applications to provide very low friction bearings, known as ball bearings. Black-powder weapons use stone and metal balls as projectiles.

Although many types of balls are today made from rubber, this form was unknown outside the Americas until after the voyages of Columbus. The Spanish were the first Europeans to see the bouncing rubber balls (although solid and not inflated) which were employed most notably in the Mesoamerican ballgame. Balls used in various sports in other parts of the world prior to Columbus were made from other materials such as animal bladders or skins, stuffed with various materials.

As balls are one of the most familiar spherical objects to humans, the word "ball" may refer to or describe spherical or near-spherical objects.

"Ball" is used metaphorically sometimes to denote something spherical or spheroid, e.g., armadillos and human beings curl up into a ball, making a fist into a ball.

A cleaner or a cleaning operative is a type of industrial or domestic worker who does the cleaning.

Cleaner in Cambridge English dictionary means: "a person whose job is to clean houses, offices, public places, etc.:", in Collins dictionary: "A cleaner is someone who is employed to clean the rooms and furniture inside a building." However, a cleaner does not always have to be employed and does not have to perform work for pay an example would be socially and charity cleaning for example free forest cleanup from garbage so the definitions of the cleaner word depend on the author. Word cleaner also means: "substance used for cleaning" e.g. oven cleaner and device used to clean e.g. an air cleaner.

To sum up, the simplest thing to say is that a cleaner is usually a person who does cleaning.

Cleaning operatives may specialize in cleaning particular things or places, such as window cleaners. Cleaning operatives often work when the people who otherwise occupy the space are not around. They may clean offices at night or houses during the workday.

A pet, or companion animal, is an animal kept primarily for a person's company or entertainment rather than as a working animal, livestock, or a laboratory animal. Popular pets are often considered to have attractive/cute appearances, intelligence, and relatable personalities, but some pets may be taken in on an altruistic basis (such as a stray animal) and accepted by the owner regardless of these characteristics.

Two of the most popular pets are dogs and cats. Other animals commonly kept include rabbits; ferrets; pigs; rodents such as gerbils, hamsters, chinchillas, rats, mice, and guinea pigs; birds such as parrots, passerines, and fowls; reptiles such as turtles, lizards, snakes, and iguanas; aquatic pets such as fish, freshwater snails, and saltwater snails; amphibians such as frogs and salamanders; and arthropod pets such as tarantulas and hermit crabs. Smaller pets include rodents, while the equine and bovine group include the largest companion animals.

Pets provide their owners, or guardians, both physical and emotional benefits. Walking a dog can provide both the human and the dog with exercise, fresh air, and social interaction. Pets can give companionship to people who are living alone or elderly adults who do not have adequate social interaction with other people. There is a medically approved class of therapy animals that are brought to visit confined humans, such as children in hospitals or elders in nursing homes. Pet therapy utilizes trained animals and handlers to achieve specific physical, social, cognitive, or emotional goals with patients.

People most commonly get pets for companionship, to protect a home or property, or because of the perceived beauty or attractiveness of the animals. A 1994 Canadian study found that the most common reasons for not owning a pet were lack of ability to care for the pet when traveling (34.6%), lack of time (28.6%), and lack of suitable housing (28.3%), with dislike of pets being less common (19.6%). Some scholars, ethicists, and animal rights organizations have raised concerns over keeping pets because of the lack of autonomy and the objectification of non-human animals.

Purple is a color similar in appearance to violet light. In the RYB color model historically used in the arts, purple is a secondary color created by combining red and blue pigments. In the CMYK color model used in modern printing, purple is made by combining magenta pigment with either cyan pigment, black pigment, or both. In the RGB color model used in computer and television screens, purple is created by mixing red and blue light in order to create colors that appear similar to violet light.

Purple has long been associated with royalty, originally because Tyrian purple dye—made from the secretions of sea snails—was extremely expensive in antiquity. Purple was the color worn by Roman magistrates; it became the imperial color worn by the rulers of the Byzantine Empire and the Holy Roman Empire, and later by Roman Catholic bishops. Similarly in Japan, the color is traditionally associated with the emperor and aristocracy.

According to contemporary surveys in Europe and the United States, purple is the color most often associated with rarity, royalty, luxury, ambition, magic, mystery, piety and spirituality. When combined with pink, it is associated with eroticism, femininity, and seduction.

A vacuum (pl.: vacuums or vacua) is space devoid of matter. The word is derived from the Latin adjective vacuus (neuter vacuum) meaning "vacant" or "void". An approximation to such vacuum is a region with a gaseous pressure much less than atmospheric pressure. Physicists often discuss ideal test results that would occur in a perfect vacuum, which they sometimes simply call "vacuum" or free space, and use the term partial vacuum to refer to an actual imperfect vacuum as one might have in a laboratory or in space. In engineering and applied physics on the other hand, vacuum refers to any space in which the pressure is considerably lower than atmospheric pressure. The Latin term in vacuo is used to describe an object that is surrounded by a vacuum.

The quality of a partial vacuum refers to how closely it approaches a perfect vacuum. Other things equal, lower gas pressure means higher-quality vacuum. For example, a typical vacuum cleaner produces enough suction to reduce air pressure by around 20%. But higher-quality vacuums are possible. Ultra-high vacuum chambers, common in chemistry, physics, and engineering, operate below one trillionth (10−12) of atmospheric pressure (100 nPa), and can reach around 100 particles/cm3. Outer space is an even higher-quality vacuum, with the equivalent of just a few hydrogen atoms per cubic meter on average in intergalactic space.

Vacuum has been a frequent topic of philosophical debate since ancient Greek times, but was not studied empirically until the 17th century. Clemens Timpler (1605) philosophized about the experimental possibility of producing a vacuum in small tubes. Evangelista Torricelli produced the first laboratory vacuum in 1643, and other experimental techniques were developed as a result of his theories of atmospheric pressure. A Torricellian vacuum is created by filling with mercury a tall glass container closed at one end, and then inverting it in a bowl to contain the mercury (see below).

Vacuum became a valuable industrial tool in the 20th century with the introduction of incandescent light bulbs and vacuum tubes, and a wide array of vacuum technologies has since become available. The development of human spaceflight has raised interest in the impact of vacuum on human health, and on life forms in general.

    This is the best vacuum I’ve ever owned, I have three dogs and a cat and this is a godsend, it is very easy to push, very powerful suction, no more having to go over my carpet two times to get the pet hair up and I have had no problem going over area rugs like some of the reviews mentioned, I would not recommend going over throw rugs though, it’s too powerful for those.

    Yesterday evening I was at Sams Club thinking about buying a new Shark, which I have 3 of already and is a decent vacuum cleaner, however the Dyson Ball Total Clean was on sale so I thought I would give it a try, expecting mediocre results.
    Got home and assembled it and did a test sweep. Unlike any I’ve ever used. It is easy to use, lightweight, and has more power than any I have owned, which is many. It pulled dirt from newly swept carpet to my surprise. And not just a little dirt. It pulled up a lot, much to my embarrassment. Lol. I have used it on my wood floors and tile too and it worked equally well.
    My son in law was here to watch the demonstrations and ran to Sams today and purchased the last one like it on the shelves. Yes, it’s that good.
    It far exceeded my expectations.

    The Dyson ball animal 2 is a great vacuum. The ball technology makes maneuvering around tight corners and spaces a breeze. The powerful suction is great for carpet, wood or tile and with the self adjusting cleaner head there are no issues moving between rooms. Clean up in easy with the one click emptying canister and washable filter.

    We have only had the ball animal 2 for a week, and it is the best vacuum we have ever had. The suction is so much better than our old “top brand” vacuum. The brushes are so much easier to clean the dog hair out of. We couldn’t believe how much dust was left in the carpet from our old vacuum, that the animal 2 sucked up with ease. We will never stray from Dyson again.

    I have used my DC 25 for at least 10 years and it still works like a champ, it has a broken switch that we have tried to have replaced, but not even Dyson can come up with the part. I have considered replacing the vacuum, but the switch does not effect the suction of the vacuum so really not much of a problem. We have purchased several new beater bars and filters and clean it as the original instructions said to do, and we have never had a major problem. I am again considering replacement, but I will only replace my Dyson with another, there is no better vacuum on the market.

    Unfortunately for me Affirm was unable to verify my identity. So that was that. I took my “beast” apart today. And good to go! That is how good is this sucker. Maybe next year will retire it I have 2 dogs and Dyson is needed here!

    I just had new carpets installed throughout the house. I live alone with no pets and I usually vacuum once a week and never walk on the carpets with shoes. I had owned an older Dyson and just bought this new one. After the first time using it, it picked up dirt and dust I had no idea was there. The assembly of the new one was very quick, (5 min Max) as well. I am very pleased with this purchase!

    I was almost scared off to purchase this vacuum after reading some of the reviews. The complaints about the suction being so great a few people couldn’t push it on carpet is comical having used the vacuum. Perhaps if you have extremely high shag carpets, otherwise there is no issue at all. For that reason, I feel compelled to write a review myself to help others make an informed decision.
    This vacuum is really well engineered. So many details were thought out to make it the best possible product, and it really shows through and through. From the assembly, written literature, warranty, 30 day guarantee, the design, and of course the functionality.
    Pros
    + The assembly was ridiculously easy to do. 3 simple steps, and no tools were required.
    + The operation is very intuitive and required virtually no reason to read the instructions. But the instructions are written with simple illustrations for everything. From assembly to use of vacuum and tools.
    + The suction is quite impressive. Even after cleaning with a normal vacuum, this vacuum pulls out dirt, dust, and lint from what appears to be nowhere. I can honestly say I feel like I’ve never had cleaner carpets after using this vacuum.
    + The vacuum was easily maneuvered across normal carpeting and hard floor surfaces.
    + Attachments were great for dusting and cleaning a variety of non-carpet surfaces.
    + Dumping the debris is a simple push of a button and mild shake.
    Cons
    – I personally didn’t have an issue, but some folks with less strength could find the vacuum a little heavy to lift. But the large ball it rolls on make it easy to maneuver and it’s not often you need to really lift a vacuum.
