<span class="mw-page-title-main">Cardinal direction</span> Directions of north, south, east and west

The four cardinal directions, or cardinal points, are the four main compass directions: north, south, east, and west, commonly denoted by their initials N, S, E, and W respectively. Relative to north, the directions east, south, and west are at 90 degree intervals in the clockwise direction.

Singular may refer to:

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Compass rose</span> Figure on a compass, map, nautical chart

A compass rose, sometimes called a wind rose, rose of the winds or compass star, is a figure on a compass, map, nautical chart, or monument used to display the orientation of the cardinal directions and their intermediate points. It is also the term for the graduated markings found on the traditional magnetic compass. Today, a form of compass rose is found on, or featured in, almost all navigation systems, including nautical charts, non-directional beacons (NDB), VHF omnidirectional range (VOR) systems, global-positioning systems (GPS), and similar equipment.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Points of the compass</span> Directional divisions marked on a compass

The points of the compass are a set of horizontal, radially arrayed compass directions used in navigation and cartography. A compass rose is primarily composed of four cardinal directions—north, east, south, and west—each separated by 90 degrees, and secondarily divided by four ordinal (intercardinal) directions—northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest—each located halfway between two cardinal directions. Some disciplines such as meteorology and navigation further divide the compass with additional azimuths. Within European tradition, a fully defined compass has 32 "points".

Compass point may refer to:

In Gaussian optics, the cardinal points consist of three pairs of points located on the optical axis of a rotationally symmetric, focal, optical system. These are the focal points, the principal points, and the nodal points; there are two of each. For ideal systems, the basic imaging properties such as image size, location, and orientation are completely determined by the locations of the cardinal points; in fact, only four points are necessary: the two focal points and either the principal points or the nodal points. The only ideal system that has been achieved in practice is a plane mirror, however the cardinal points are widely used to approximate the behavior of real optical systems. Cardinal points provide a way to analytically simplify an optical system with many components, allowing the imaging characteristics of the system to be approximately determined with simple calculations.

Peyton Robert Siva Jr. is an American professional basketball player who last played for the Illawarra Hawks of the National Basketball League (NBL). He played college basketball for Louisville, leading the school to two Final Fours, including a national championship his senior season. Both Final Fours and the 2013 NCAA National Championship were vacated due to the teams breaking of NCAA rules. There were multiple instances of assistant coaches throwing parties for players and recruits in the university dorm that involved cash being given to players who then showered sex workers with the money, sometimes in exchange for sexual favors. While there was no evidence Siva himself took part in this, many of his teammates did, as well as a few recruits. The vacation of the 2013 National Championship was further upheld when it was found that the UofL men's basketball assistant coaching staff were caught by undercover FBI agents taking part in pay for play bribery schemes involving the shoe and apparel company Adidas, as well as at least one well known NBA agent. Again, while it was not directly related to Siva, others on the UofL team did, in fact, take part in this pay for play scheme. Leading to the vacated championship being upheld as well as the two Final Fours and 123 wins over the span of the 2011 to 2015 seasons. Including all wins from Sivas’ Junior and Senior years. He was drafted by the Detroit Pistons, who selected him with the 56th overall pick in the 2013 NBA draft.
