Question: What do Curve and The Sisters of Mercy have in common?
Context: The Sisters of Mercy are an English gothic rock band, formed in 1980 in Leeds, United Kingdom (UK).  After achieving early underground fame there, the band had their commercial breakthrough in mid-1980s and sustained it until the early 1990s, when they stopped releasing new recorded output in protest against their record company Time Warner.  Currently, the band is a touring outfit only. Mercy Hospital St. Louis is a hospital operating in Creve Coeur, Missouri.  Mercy Hospital was founded by the Sisters of Mercy in 1871 as a 25 bed hospital in a school building.  In 1963, the current location of mercy hospital was founded in Creve Coeur, Missouri.  Since moving to Creve Coeur, the hospital has expanded, treating patients in the St. Louis region and other parts of Missouri.  Mercy Hospital is currently a level III neonatal intensive care unit as well as the only Level I trauma center in St. Louis County, Missouri.  Since 2003, Mercy has expanded to include the David C Pratt Cancer Center, Heart and Vascular Hospital and a low risk Birthing Center. Founded in 1928 as a Catholic College preparatory boarding school for young women, the purpose of Our Lady of Mercy Academy (OLMA) is to provide a comprehensive education according to the precepts of Catherine McAuley Catherine McAuley, foundress of the Sisters of Mercy.  The academy is centered on holistic teaching, and provides young women with an environment intended to nourish spiritual, intellectual, emotional, and social growth.  Students are guided and supported with the intention of making them well-rounded, and intelligent women.  Our Lady of Mercy Academy is governed by a Board of Directors and sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy. Many, or perhaps most, law schools in the United States grade on a curve.  The process generally works within each class, where the instructor grades each exam, and then ranks the exams against each other, adding to and subtracting from the initial grades so that the overall grade distribution matches the school's specified curve (usually a bell curve).  "The curve" is the permitted range of each letter grade that can be awarded, for example, 0-3% A+, 3-7% A, etc.  Curves vary between different law schools, as do the rules for when the curve is mandatory versus suggestive.  It is common for the curve to be mandatory for first year ("1L") courses, and for classes above a certain size. Mercy College of Ohio (formerly Mercy College of Northwest Ohio), was founded as the Mercy School of Nursing in 1917 by the Sisters of Mercy.  All of its academic programs remain in the health sciences field.  Mercy College of Ohio has campuses in Toledo, Ohio and Youngstown, Ohio.  The name was changed in August 2011 to Mercy College of Ohio.  Mercy College is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. Merion Mercy Academy is a female, private, independent, Catholic, college preparatory school, teaching grades 9 through 12, sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy located in Merion, Pennsylvania, just outside Philadelphia within the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.  Known by the Latin name "Mater Misericordiae Academy" prior to 1968, the school curriculum has traditionally emphasized mercy spirituality, global awareness, and social responsibility.  A dedication to service of the poor and unfortunate, in the spirit of Catherine McAuley, the foundress of the Sisters of Mercy, continues today. The Sisters of Mercy of New Jersey were an offshoot of the Roman Catholic Sisters of Mercy order in New Jersey whose ministry focuses on service to the community through education and health care.  Now the Sisters of Mercy of New Jersey are part of the Mid-Atlantic Community of the Institute of the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas. In thermodynamics, the limit of local stability with respect to small fluctuations is clearly defined by the condition that the second derivative of Gibbs free energy is zero.  The locus of these points (the inflection point within a G-x or G-c curve, Gibbs free energy as a function of composition) is known as the spinodal curve.  For compositions within this curve, infinitesimally small fluctuations in composition and density will lead to phase separation via spinodal decomposition.  Outside of the curve, the solution will be at least metastable with respect to fluctuations.  In other words, outside the spinodal curve some careful process may obtain a single phase system.  Inside it, only processes far from thermodynamic equilibrium, such as physical vapor deposition, will enable one to prepare single phase compositions.  The local points of coexisting compositions, defined by the common tangent construction, are known as binodal (coexistence) curve, which denotes the minimum-energy equilibrium state of the system.  Increasing temperature results in a decreasing difference between mixing entropy and mixing enthalpy, thus, the coexisting compositions come closer.  The binodal curve forms the bases for the miscibility gap in a phase diagram.  Since the free energy of mixture changes with temperature and concentration, the binodal and spinodal meet at the critical or consulate temperature and composition. Curve were an English alternative rock and electronica duo from London, formed in 1990 and split in 2005.  The band consisted of Toni Halliday (vocals, occasionally guitar) and Dean Garcia (bass, guitar, drums, programming).  Halliday wrote also the lyrics of their songs and they both contributed to songwriting.  An important collaborator was the producer Alan Moulder, who helped them to shape their blend of heavy beats and densely layered guitar tracks set against Halliday's vocals. Mercy Medical Center - Des Moines is a not-for-profit Catholic hospital located in Des Moines, Iowa.  Mercy Medical Center was founded by the Sisters of Mercy in 1893 and is the longest continually operating hospital in Des Moines.  Mercy is a member of Mercy Health Network (MHN), a partnership of Catholic Health Initiatives (CHI) and Trinity Health.  Mercy is one of the largest employers in the state of Iowa with more than 7,100 employees, and 800 physicians and allied health associates.  In addition to 656-bed acute care facility, Mercy also hosts an ACGME-accredited residency programs in internal medicine, family medicine and general surgery.
