<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nThe Coriolis Effect
Gaspard-Gustave de Coriolis (1792-1843) was a French mathematician, mechanical engineer, and scientist. He is best known for his work (in 1835) on the supplementary forces that are detected in a rotating frame of reference, leading to is now known as the Coriolis effect (or the Coriolis force). It describes the pattern of deflection taken by objects not firmly connected to the ground as they travel long distances around Earth and is the explanation for many large-scale weather patterns.
The key to the Coriolis effect lies in Earth\u2019s rotation. Earth is wider at the Equator and rotates faster there than at the poles. To make a rotation in one 24-hour period, equatorial regions rotate at nearly 1,000 miles per hour; near the poles, the rotation is about 0.00005 miles per hour.
The impact of the Coriolis effect is dependent on velocity\u2014the velocity of Earth and the velocity of the object or weather pattern being deflected by the Coriolis effect. It is most significant with high speeds or long distances.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
The development of weather patterns, such as cyclones and trade winds, are examples of the impact of the Coriolis effect. It is the explanation for why, in the Northern Hemisphere, hurricanes appear to rotate counterclockwise, and in the Southern Hemisphere, currents are deflected to the left, and, as a result, storm systems seem to rotate clockwise.
The weather impacting fast-moving objects, such as airplanes and rockets, is influenced by the Coriolis effect. The directions of prevailing winds are largely determined by the Coriolis effect, and pilots must take that into account when charting flight paths over long distances.
You could observe the Coriolis effect if you sat on a rotating merry-go-round and threw or rolled a ball back and forth with someone. When the merry-go-round is not rotating, rolling the ball back-and-forth is simple and straightforward. While it is rotating, however, the ball won\u2019t make it to the other person unless you propel it with significant force. Rolled with regular effort, the ball appears to curve, or deflect, to the right. The ball is actually traveling in a straight line and you and the other person. are moving out of its path.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Coriolis force is strongest near the poles and absent at the Equator. Cyclones need the Coriolis force in order to circulate. That is why hurricanes almost never occur in equatorial regions, and never cross the Equator itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n Connote vs. Denote <\/p>\n\n\n\n To connote is to suggest a connection. [Only words and symbols can connote something; people imply it.] When you act a certain way to show how you feel rather than just outright saying it, you’re connoting or suggesting that emotion. Words can often connote or suggest certain meanings or ideas. (e.g., if you fold your arms and look away from someone as he speaks to you, you are connoting your discomfort.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n To denote is to draw attention to something or to show what it means. A word’s denotation is its literal meaning or exact definition. [e.g., A blue wheelchair painted on a parking spot denotes handicapped parking.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Why is red for Republicans and blue for Democrats? <\/p>\n\n\n\n I Just stopped in\u2026to see what condition my condition was in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What the heck! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Calliope <\/p>\n\n\n\n In Greek mythology, Calliope (\u2009’beautiful-voiced’) is the Muse who presides over eloquence and epic poetry. Hesiod and Ovid called her the “Chief of all Muses”. She is the daughter of Zeus and Mnemosyne. She had two famous sons, Orpheus and Linus, by either Apollo (her brother) or King Oeagrus of Thrace. She taught Orpheus verses for singing. According to Hesiod, she was also the wisest of the Muses, as well as the most assertive. In some accounts, Calliope is the mother of the Corybantes by her father Zeus, She was sometimes believed to be Homer’s muse for the Iliad and the Odyssey, and the Roman epic poet Virgil invokes her in the Aeneid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Meat Cuts <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Coriolis Effect Gaspard-Gustave de Coriolis (1792-1843) was a French mathematician, mechanical engineer, and scientist.

This universally accepted color-coding arose from the 2000 presidential election. According to The Verge, it was in this year that The New York Times and USA Today published their first full-color election maps
That year, The New York Times and USA Today published full-color electoral maps for the first time, and according to The Verge (opens in new tab), they assigned the colors fairly arbitrarily. Apparently, it was as simple as someone in the graphics department decided to use red for Republicans because both \u2018red\u2019 and \u2018Republican\u2019 begin begins with \u2018r\u2019. According to The History Channel, colorful electoral maps on television were used in 1976, but there was no consistency between networks as to what colors were used for which party. Red often stood for Democrats, and blue for Republicans. The extended vote count in the election between George W. Bush and Al Gore in 2000 (which was not resolved until December) precipitated the major news networks keeping the colors consistent, so that reporting contested electoral college numbers and the Florida recount would be less confusing. By the time, the winner was resolved, the color associations were set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most hospitals follow the American Hospital Association guidelines to describe a patient\u2019s condition to the media. Those guidelines advise spokespersons to use only a one-word description of a patient\u2019s condition. Here, excerpted from the AHA\u2019s \u201cGeneral Guide for the Release of Information on the Condition of Patients,\u201d is the short list:
Undetermined: Patient awaiting physician and assessment. Good: Vital signs are stable and within normal limits. Patient is conscious and comfortable. Indicators are excellent. Fair: Vital signs are stable and within normal limits. Patient is conscious but may be uncomfortable. Indicators are favorable. Serious: Vital signs may be unstable and not within normal limits. Patient is acutely ill. Indicators are questionable. Critical: Vital signs are unstable and not within normal limits. Patient may be unconscious. Indicators are unfavorable.
\u201cVital signs\u201d means indicators such as blood pressure, pulse, temperature, and respiration, and the one-word descriptions are not medical term\u2014rather they are based on a doctor\u2019s best judgment of a patient\u2019s condition. And not all hospitals strictly adhere to these guidelines, which is why you occasionally will here \u2018treated and released\u2019 (suggesting that the patient received treatment but was not admitted) or \u2018critical but stable 9to indicate that some patients\u2019 conditions are less dire than others.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHeck\u201d is a common alternative to the swear word \u201chell.\u201d It is not a bad word at its core, nor is it consider a swear word. \u201cHeck\u201d really isn\u2019t spoken much because many people think it\u2019s far too tame to convey the correct emotion. It doesn\u2019t show true anger or disappointment compared to most swear words. Schools are often very strict with the words that can and can\u2019t be used. Most schools would probably be fine with students using \u201check\u201d because it shows the students are actively trying to censor themselves to appear more polite. It\u2019s even acceptable on radio and television. But if uncomfortable using a word like \u2018heck\u2019, try one of these replacement exclamations: Fudge! Blast! Dang! (which, of course, is a slang word for \u2018damn\u2019) What the\u2026?! What the Dickens?!
While we\u2019re on the topic, if you need a replacement exclamation for \u2018dang\u2019, try: Doggone! Shoot! (which itself is a replacement for another curse word) Confound it! Gosh! Golly! My, my, my.
If there is such a place \u201cHell\u201d (and we\u2019re not saying there is or isn\u2019t), it would it be funny if there was also a place called \u201cHeck.\u201d In Heck, would be bad\u2014but not terrible like they are in Hell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
