The Casimir effect (predicted by Hendrik Casimir in 1948) is the attraction of two metal plates in a vacuum. This effect occurs because of a side effect of the quantum uncertainty principle, where 'virtual' particles cause the plates to be slightly pushed towards each other. Relationship to quantum uncertainty principle. The quantum uncertainty principle says that particles, fields, etc. have two values, and that the more accurately you measure one, the less accurately you can measure the other. Since 'empty' space (which is a field) would be completely empty, then we would know both the field's magnitude (which is zero) and its rate of change (also zero). Therefore, there must be tiny fluctuations in 'empty' space, so that the uncertainty principle isn't violated. These take the form of virtual particles, which we wouldn't be able to detect directly. However, we can see the effects they have on real particles. Some of these particles are virtual photons, which can also be considered as waves. Now, between the reflective metal plates, there is a certain distance. Certain virtual photons, specifically ones where the distance divided by the wavelength is a whole number, are the only ones that can fit in here; if it isn't a whole number, eventually the peaks and troughs of the waves will coincide, and cancel it out. Negative spacetime. Since there are fewer virtual particles on the inside of the plates rather than the outside, there is a greater force on the outside of the plates. This causes the plates to be pushed inwards. Now, the energy density of the universe is zero. This is because every particle has positive energy, but it also has gravity, which balances it out with negative gravitational energy. Since there are fewer virtual particles within the plates, that means that the energy density of the spacetime between the plates must be less than the energy density of spacetime outside the plates. However, since the energy density of the spacetime outside the plates is zero, that means that the energy density of the spacetime between the plates is less than zero, or negative. Negative spacetime has odd properties, such as being saddle-shaped and allowing travel into the past.

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), is an analysis tool widely used in materials sciences, thermochemistry, drug purity and food quality testing. Its speed and ease of operation give instant information about the thermodynamic characteristics that play an important role in understanding complex processes during the formation of substances; for instance, polymer cross-linking, heat exchange due to folding and unfolding of proteins or formation mechanism of single or double stranded DNA. The DSC was firstly invented in 1962 by E.S. Watson and M.J. O’Neil and made available to the market in 1963 at the "Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy" conference held in Pittsburgh. Physical Structure. The two most common types of differential scanning calorimeter, are "heat flux DSC", which operates by keeping the heat supply to the system as constant and "power-compensated DSC", which works by maintaining the power supplied to the calorimeter as constant. In general, a DSC calculates heat changes by measuring the temperature difference between the sample and reference holder. The typical design of the "heat flux DSC" can be seen from Figure 1. It contains the "sample holder", where the material of interest is placed, and the "reference holder", which is generally kept empty. Both of these are placed on a "support", which is in good contact with the "walls" of calorimeter. The "heating resistor" is attached to the boundary walls that enables one to obtain a furnace generating and keeping the required heat amount inside the enclosure. The "thermocouple" connected to both sample and reference holder is a measuring device that gives the temperature to be used in the analysis. Heat supplied by the "heating resistor" flows further into the sample and the reference materials chambers. Theory. The simplest theoretical approach to understand the working mechanism of DSC’s is called the simplified "linear model" and makes use of the following assumptions: The Fourier’s law of heat conduction, which is the fundamental law explaining how the heat is transferred through materials can be used to see the relationship between the temperature and the heat flow in the system. This law states that the amount of heat energy passing through a small portion of an
Love.Live.Life is the third studio album by English hip hop group N-Dubz. It was released on 29 November 2010, as a collaboration by All Around the World and Island Records.

Dina Ali Lasloom (; born 29 March 1993) is a Saudi Arabian teacher who was kidnapped in the Philippines.  On April 11, 2017, she was traveling from Kuwait to Australia to ask for political asylum. She was stopped in Manila airport. She made a video with a cellphone. In the video, she said they took her passport and papers. She said that her family would kill her. She wanted to escape a forced marriage. Dina borrowed a phone from a Canadian woman to make the video. In the video, Dina said she was locked up for 13 hours. Then two men came to the airport. Dina said they were her uncles.  An airport security officer saw three men take Dina. They put duct tape on her hands, feet, and mouth. Then they put her in a wheelchair. They took her on a Saudia Airlines flight to Riyadh. Other passengers said they heard her scream for help in the airplane. The video went viral in Saudi Arabia. People used the hashtag #SaveDinaAli. Protesters were waiting for Dina at the Riyadh airport. One Saudi woman, Alaa Anazi, was arrested at the airport. Some women’s rights advocates in Saudi Arabia say Dina was taken to a women’s shelter. Others said Ala Anazi was taken to the shelter. Dina did not get off the airplane with the other passengers.
The heat of combustion, also called calorific value or energy value of a substance is the amount of energy that is released when burning a given amount of the substance. This energy is released in the form of heat, when the substance is burned in standard conditions.  Chemistry. Heat of combustion ("Δ"H"°c") is the measure of the amount of energy released in the form of heat ("q") when one mole of a substance is burned (combustion). The production of heat means the reaction is an exothermic process and gives off energy. Heat of combustion is a specialized form of reaction enthalpy because it is measured at standard conditions and is limited to one mole starting material. The (°) symbol shows that the heat of combustion value is obtained at standard conditions: 25 degrees Celsius (298.15 Kelvin) and at a constant pressure. The pressure is reported both at either one bar or at one atmosphere depending on the source.  Heat of combustion is also called the enthalpy of combustion because the energy evolved from the combustion reaction results from the change in the overall enthalpy of the starting substance as it reacts completely with oxygen. The terms heat of combustion and enthalpy of combustion are used interchangeably due to the First law of thermodynamics and the relationships between heat at constant pressure ("q"P), the change in internal energy (ΔU), and the change in enthalpy (ΔH).  The equation for the change in internal energy is Δ"U" = "qP - "PΔV.  If the equation is rearranged, then qP = Δ"U" + "P"Δ"V". The equation for the change in enthalpy is Δ"H" = Δ"U" + "P"Δ"V" + "V"Δ"P".  The term V"Δ"P cancels because there is no change in pressure so Δ"H" = Δ"U" + "P"Δ"V". As previously stated, qP = Δ"U" + "P"Δ"V". Therefore, qP = Δ"H". Heat of combustion measurements are most common

In baseball, a grand slam is a home run hit with runners on first, second, and third base ("bases loaded"). This scores four runs and is the most possible in one play.  According to "The Dickson Baseball Dictionary", the term came from the card game of contract bridge. A "grand slam" in contract bridge involves taking all the possible tricks. The word "slam", by itself, can mean a loud sound, such as a door being closed with a lot of force. "Slamming the door" on one's opponent(s), is similar to the bat slamming the ball into a home run.

Since the reign of the first kings of England the question of who should rule next has been hard to answer. Examples of this are when Edward the Elder died leaving two sons Aelfward and Athelstan, but Aelfward died 28 days after Edward leaving the throne to Athelstan. But when a king picked his successor in the 1100s it was known as the young king. The next king, the prince of Wales usually got to reign as the young king of England before his ascension but both of the young/junior/titular kings never ascended to the throne. The young kings of England in order of reign were: Ever since Henry the Young the next in line has never been crowned as young king and just simply prince of Wales or just titled as "the rightful heir to the English throne".For kings of England, see List of English monarchs.
