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 behaviour is known as ethology.

The animal kingdom is divided into five infrakingdoms/superphyla, namely Porifera, Ctenophora, Placozoa, Cnidaria and Bilateria. Most living animal species belong to the infrakingdom Bilateria, a highly proliferative clade whose members have a bilaterally symmetric and significantly cephalised body plan, and the vast majority of bilaterians belong to two large superphyla: the protostomes, which includes organisms such as arthropods, molluscs, flatworms, annelids and nematodes; and the deuterostomes, which include echinoderms, hemichordates and chordates, the latter of which contains the vertebrates. The much smaller basal phylum 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 period in what is known as the Avalon explosion. Earlier evidence of animals is still controversial; the sponge-like organism Otavia has been dated back to the Tonian period at the start of the Neoproterozoic, 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, cleanser or cleaning operative is a type of industrial or domestic worker who is tasked with cleaning a space. A janitor (US and Canada), also known as a custodian, porter or caretaker, is a person who cleans and might also carry out maintenance and security duties. A similar position, but usually with more managerial duties and not including cleaning, is occupied by building superintendents in the United States and Canada and by site managers in schools in the United Kingdom.

According to the Cambridge English dictionary a "cleaner" is "a person whose job is to clean houses, offices, public places, etc.:"; the Collins dictionary states that: "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 perform work for pay, such as in the case of volunteer work or community service. "Cleaner" may also refer to cleaning agents e.g. oven cleaner, or devices used for cleaning, e.g. vacuum cleaner.

Cleaning operatives may specialize in cleaning particular things or places, such as window cleaners, housekeepers, janitors, crime scene cleaners and so on. 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 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.

    I just want to throw my testimony out on top of the many… this vacuum is a miracle worker. I have a large dog who sheds, and I can say, with absolute certainty, that many a rug and carpet in my apartment have not seen the light of day FOR YEARS due to the thick layers of fur that held fast upon them. I have vacuumed, gone over every inch with a rubber broom AND a lint roller, to no avail. But once I brought this baby home, my life changed. I also want to throw this out there… I’m a petite person (4’10” to be exact) and I had no issue pushing the vacuum I received. I wouldn’t say it’s any more difficult to maneuver than any other vacuum I’ve used. I bought the vacuum on sale (~$200), but it’s worth every penny. If you’re on the fence about purchasing this miracle machine, I would recommend you take the leap. Below is a picture of the dust and fur the vacuum took from a 13’ x 14’ area that had just been swept with rubber broom

    First vacuum review ever! Great product, easy to assemble, a caveman could do it (if cavemen vacuumed). Feels like you’re using a professional product with guts! Buy it, but find a sale – they’re pricey.

    I have had my Dyson for a little while now. It handles different than my old vacuum so there is an adjustment period. It is heavier as well which I had to get use to. I would recommend it to any of my friends but not to my 80 y/o mom because of its weight. You can’t beat the performance for the price though. If I had it to do over I would buy it again for sure. OH! I like the colors red and purple too! 🙂

    This vacuum works so well. The suction on it is unbelievable. It is easy to clean. Very easy to operate once you get use to it. It took me some time to figure out how to control it. It turns best if you just control it by moving your wrist. The retractable hose gave me fits every time I tried to snap it back in place. I learned that it works best if you pull the handle up and back at the same time you are lifting the retractable part. It then slides down and snaps right in.

It is a great investment. Beat vaccum ever.

    I’ve been using my Dyson for a couple of weeks now. Hands down the best suction I’ve ever seen from a vacuum. My kids and their friends run through our house constantly and track everything you can imagine in with them. We will generally vacuum on a daily or every other day basis. I’ll use it continuously over carpet, rugs, hardwood and tile. I never stop to adjust it and the vacuum has no problems at all. Only concerns I would have is that it’s a little noisier then what I’m use to, but I’m sure I’ll get use to that. Also, it’s a little challenging to move around corners and pushing on carpets. Again, not a huge issue and something I’ll get use to. Assembly is super easy, took me about 5 minutes total to assemble and I’ve never used a Dyson before. A few parts to put together that all snap into place.

    I was given the Dyson Slim Ball Animal to try and review. I absolutely love this vacuum, I love that it can be used on carpet and hard surfaces. The Dyson vacuum looks sleek and it compact so it fits almost anywhere. I will never use my old vacuum again. I highly recommend to everyone!

    I am very impressed with my Dyson Slim Ball Animal Vacuum! Works better than expected with patented technology in carpeting areas. Refreshed my dull looking carpet, making it look almost new. Gave me even track marks and glides effortlessly; also it is very lightweight, which makes it a breeze to use. Maneuvers better than any flooring device I have owned in the past. The Dyson outshines all others when you transition onto hard surfaces-. It picks up pet hair, lint, and debris instead of blowing it around. The suction is amazing! I thought I kept a clean home until I used this one and saw the stuff accumulated in my canister- wow! After using it a couple times, I noticed I could breathe easier. I highly recommend this vacuum to family and friends.
