(October 3, 2011) Leonard Susskind discusses the some of the basic laws and ideas of modern physics. In this lecture, he focuses on some of the incorrect laws of motion that were first proposed by Aristotle. While they are invalid they provide some insight into how modern physics has developed to the state it is at today. This course is the beginning of a six course sequence that explores the theoretical foundations of modern physics. Topics in the series include classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, theories of relativity, electromagnetism, cosmology, and black holes.

Assisted Living in Tampa

There are several Tampa Assisted Living establishments to offer care and attention for individuals in need, specially elderly people who can no longer take good care of themselves. Since the number of senior citizens in Tampa is continually increasing, these Assisted Living Tampa services ensure that those who are in need of care will be able to get the best possible care. These assisted living facilities make the choice easy for those who are deciding on how to care best for their aging parents and relatives, and many people find that the excellent assisted living facilities in Tampa provide entertainment and fun for those who live there.

There are many types of Tampa assisted living facilities, and the people who enjoy these facilities are as diverse as they are numerous. Some who enjoy the assisted living facilities are more than able to get around and enjoy their lives, while others are in need of constant care due to poor health or illness. Those who enjoy independent living will find that these assisted living Tampa facilities will provide them a great way to interact with others their age, and those that are in need of more focused and dedicated care will be able to get the needed attention.

There is a wide range of services that are offered by these assisted living facilities. The assistance that would be given to the individual who stays there will depend on his condition. Some individuals may only need some help to wash clothes or to drive them to the store. Others however, may need a high degree of medical attention or a full-time care. A lot of assisted living facilities would include laundry services, housekeeping, meals and many others. All of them provide medical services to individuals as well. These services are provided in order to make individuals who are in need of assistance, as well as those who are already dependent to other people to function normally, feel much better with their lives as they stay in the facility.

There are so many wrong portrayals done by movies with regards to the kind of life that patients have in some assisted living facilities. This gave rise to misconceptions such as orderlies stealing money and drugging their patients. The truth of the matter is that most assisted living communities offer a safe haven when senior citizens are able to enjoy their golden years in peace. Those who can be independent, are often left on their own, and a helping hand is only given when it is needed. Those who need more focused care, however, are able to obtain it thanks to the trained personnel of the assisted living facilities.

For anyone considering options for their aging relatives, it is vital to consider assisted living facilities as a solution. Your loved ones will be able to stay in a comfortable place where their needs are well-taken care of, and that they are provided with an avenue to socialize with their peers. There is absolutely nothing to worry about when your loved ones are in assisted living facilities since there are dedicated and trained professionals who care for them and who make sure that their needs are always met.

Oh great. We practically did nothing in History. Had a sub. Same in econ, except that teach was there. just went over questions while I did homework for math.
Actually started a lesson in math today, except that we did some sort of worksheet that was elementary… The only thing was was that I had this headache thats been bugging me all morning. It hasn’t gotten better and its starting to kill me… xO

At lunch, it was kinda silent. I smaked my head into the table trying to feel better. Everyone was shocked. Corey said, "what was that for?" and I said that I have a head ache, and then she said "well, that probably didn’t help xP Just ate a bit. Catherine hasn’t been here in a while.. I wonder why. Maybe Kyle told her that I "like" her or something?

Finnished up with my poster and actually got it printed out. I was sooo excited when It was printing. I was like a kid on christmas eve waiting to open the biggest present from Santa. It was rediculous lol. What came out wasn’t all that I expected… It was kinda clipped on the sides, but whatever. I hope it isn’t too bad. I left before it was done printing.
In english, we had the same sub that I had in 1st period… We read a story and did a short free essay and stuff. Enxhi told me that I was wanted in choir haha. I wish that I could get to know her.. She was amazing as the witch in the play. Did some notes in physics. finnished up on homework.

Dred after school. did practically nothing… Shane was pretty freaken funny that period haha xD Seriously the cromwells are great. Collin was awesome when I had him in AP Phys, and his bro is hillarious in dred haha xD

Didn’t really do any homework at all tonight… actually none at all. I talked to Claire and a little bit to katherine, but i didn’t do anything after. Instead, I went straight to bed at 8:45 lol. Slept till 10:45 or so, woke up cause of my grandma, then went back to bed at around 11. man.. I’m bad…

The Physics of Minecraft: Gravity

What is the gravitational acceleration in Minecraft? Let us find out! ————————- About the initial height: TLDR: It’s negligible I only noticed the initial height after I recorded the video, but I conducted additional experiments on the significance of this. The initial height only affects the the maximum height, which causes the maximum height to be 42 instead of 43. Both the time and the horizontal distance are the same. If the initial height is taken into account, the gravitational acceleration would be 17ms^-2. All the values used and measured were rounded to two significant figures, which mean that the last digit falls within the expected variation in error with significant figures. The error from the height is negligible compared to the error in measurement. This is a just parody of science videos. If we really wanted to find how minecraft physics worked, we would just look at the code. ————————- Check out our blog: nopefully.org Follow us on Twitter! http Subscribe to our Livestream page: livestream.com

What is the real cause of recession? ( only philosopher )?

Question by : What is the real cause of recession? ( only philosopher )?
the recession is brutal but good for natural selection. the people loose their job and probably their family. the darwinian evolution and natural selection has its highest speed in this time. cruel. but i am not god. it reduce the fund that a university gives to its professors or students. so i am not an exception from evolution. in addition and very very important, it slows the billions of dollars budget needed for making scientific project. accelerators telescopes or improvement in genetic engineering or … which make me so much angry. the discovery of higgs boson and proof for string theory or … need billions of dollar accelerator. when europe can not pay the debt of greece how can i hope that the hungry people pay tax for discovery of higgs boson. all our improvement in philosophy is due to science especially physics :) .
i thought about this sly subject ( recession ) i looked at the diagram for recession and oil price. no thing did not changed recently except oil price, now look at what i wrote in my past subject in economy section.

What is the real cause of recession?
there is no trick to suppress recession in the world except by reducing oil price. at the the late of Georg administration the oil price went up after a year the recession appeared as a result of recession the ability of people to buy goods reduced then the need for oil and its price went down then after a year the in the Barack administration the recession disappeared the power of people to buy goods increased. at the same time united states and friends destroyed the refinery of one of the world oil supplier (lybia). they did not want to involve the soldiers in situation directly so they used the easiest method to involve their missile instead. the increased power of people (due to disappeared recession) for buying the goods that its production needs oil and the decreased oil manufacturing again increased oil price. after 7 month the recession appeared again and continue until now i guess the reduced people economic power to purchase goods again make the oil price lower and if the price reduce to 50 $ after a year again recession disappear. when you compare diagram of recession and oil price you see that one is cos(t) the other is sin(t) they have a phase difference. when recession appear the ability of average class of people to buy perfect goods reduce. they use cheap and fake product ( good for china bad for other ) so the china does not never harm from recession either the countries which produce oil like russia but the biggest winner is china and the biggest looser are Us and Euro that produce expensive goods. the increase in oil price is not merely harming but it means that there is not enought oil to produce goods for people so some volunteer should to buy less ( poor and average people) the cars doese not burn less gas but the factories do.

Additional Details
dear “Istock” a butterfly in south pole caus hurricane in north (butterfly effect chaos) x loose his job because other people donot buy x,s boss expensive goods then since x get fired x buy less goods so y’s boss fire y too because x doese not by y’boss goods. and the cycle begin and continue untill an equilibrium lthere is soft recession in recent 10 years because the oil price increased alot from then but the world recession has some alternative peak in recession the system use chaos but the chaos need a cause

as a person (you) which is interested in understandingng what is in your surrounding ( philosophyhy ) be responsible to express your point of view. you can not increase your acknowledge about nature ( philosophy ) except by improvement in science.

Best answer:

Answer by Curtis Edward Clark
Oh, you and your ‘good for natural selection’. There is nothing natural about a government caused problem, and any harm done including any sort of ‘selection’ is nothing short of criminal, base on the cause.

“Today, people are beginning to understand that the government’s account is overdrawn, that a piece of paper is not the equivalent of a gold coin, or an automobile, or a loaf of bread—and that if you attempt to falsify monetary values, you do not achieve abundance, you merely debase the currency and go bankrupt.”

How did this happen? Essentially, from inflation. Do you see how the price of everything is going up? No one may be calling it ‘inflation’ at the moment, but that is what it is.

“Inflation is not caused by the actions of private citizens, but by the government: by an artificial expansion of the money supply required to support deficit spending. No private embezzlers or bank robbers in history have ever plundered people’s savings on a scale comparable to the plunder perpetrated by the fiscal policies of statist governments.”

Brian Greene: The universe on a string

www.ted.com In clear, nontechnical language, string theorist Brian Greene explains how our understanding of the universe has evolved from Einstein’s notions of gravity and space-time to superstring theory, where minuscule strands of energy vibrating in 11 dimensions create every particle and force in the universe. (This mind-bending theory may soon be put to the test at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva).TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world’s leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, and TEDTalks cover these topics as well as science, business, development and the arts.
