Competitive eating
Competitive eating is a term for a sport where people play to see who can eat the most food in a given time. The sport is most commonly played in the United States and Japan. There are many different foods that can be eaten competitively. Common ones include hot dogs, hamburgers, hot wings, and pies.
The most famous competitive eating contest is Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest on Coney Island. It and other events are part of a tour known as Major League Eating. There are often competitive eating contests at American fairs and carnivals.
Arithmetic precision
The precision of a numeric value describes the number of digits that are used to show that value. In a scientific setting, this would be the "total" number of digits (sometimes called the "significant figures" or "significant digits") or, less commonly, the number of fractional digits or decimal places (the number of digits following the decimal point). This second definition is useful in financial and engineering applications where the count of digits in the fractional part has particular importance.
In both cases, the term "precision" can be used to describe the position at which an inexact result will be rounded. For example, in floating point arithmetic, a result is rounded to a given or fixed precision, which is the length of the resulting significand. In financial calculations, a number is often rounded to a given number of places (for example, to two places after the decimal separator for many world currencies).
As an example, the decimal quantity 12.345 can be expressed with various numbers of significant digits or decimal places. If insufficient precision is available then the number is rounded in some manner to fit the available precision. The following table shows the results for various total precisions and decimal places rounded to the nearest value using the round-to-even method.
Note that it is often not appropriate to display a figure with more digits than that which can be measured. For instance, if a device measures to the nearest gram and gives a reading of 12.345 kg, it would create "false precision" if the measurement were expressed "12.34500 kg" with 2 extra zeroes ("00") at the end.
The representation of a positive number "x" to a precision of "p" significant digits has a numerical value that is given by the formula
For a negative number, the numerical value is minus that of the absolute value.
The number 0, to any precision, can be taken to be 0.
Future Shop
Future Shop was a Canadian electronic retailer. It was headquartered in Burnaby, British Columbia. The largest Future Shop in Canada was in Edmonton, Alberta. It was purchased on November 4, 2001 for $580 million by Best Buy. It was founded in 1982 by Hassan Khosrowshahi, an Iranian entrepreneur who settled in Vancouver, British Columbia after leaving Iran.
On March 28, 2015, it was announced by Best Buy that they had decided to retire the Future Shop brand and close 66 locations. The former Future Shop locations were re-opened as Best Buy stores.
Shoppers Drug Mart
Shoppers Drug Mart Corporation (TSX: SC ) is Canada's largest pharmacy chain. Shoppers Drug Mart is headquartered in the Toronto, Ontario. The chain is founded by Murray Koffler in 1962. The store is also called Pharmaprix in Quebec and Hawkesbury, Ontario.
The store usually has a organic foods section, at least five food aisles, a healthy living section, a cosmetics centre, a Carlton Cards aisle, an Easypix digital center/photolab, a full selection of over-the-counter drugs and health products and in some stores they have a full service Canada Post office.
Bianca (Percy Jackson)
Bianca di Angelo is a character in the fictional Percy Jackson and the Olympians book series, written by Rick Riordan. Bianca is a half-blood, meaning one parent was a god, and the other was a mortal. Her father is Hades, the god of the Underworld, and her mother is an Italian mortal, named Maria Di Angelo. In "Percy Jackson and the Titan's Curse", she dies because she sacrifices herself after trying to rescue her friends. Her brother, Nico di Angelo, believes it was Percy Jackson's fault that his sister died, and plans to take revenge on Percy in the fourth book of the series, "Percy Jackson and the battle of the Labyrinth".
Document Records
Document Records (founded 1986 by Johnny Parth in Austria) is a now British record label. 2000 Parth sold the label to Gary Atkinson. Originally based in Vienna the label is now in Newton Stewart, Scotland.
The label publishes early American blues, bluegrass, gospel, spirituals jazz, and other rural American genres (this genres are also called "roots" music)and made between 1900 and 1945. The label is also owner of the rights for unrealesed Music made by the Edison Company between 1914 and 1929.
Rounding
The word "rounding" for a numerical value means replacing it by another value that is approximately equal but has a shorter, simpler, or more explicit form. For example, US$23.74 could be rounded to US$24, the fraction 312/937 could be rounded to 1/3, and the expression formula_1 could be rounded to 1.41.
Rounding is often done on purpose to obtain a value that is easier to write and handle than the original. It may also be done to indicate the accuracy of a computed number; for example, a quantity that was computed as 123,456, but is known to be accurate only to within a few hundred units, is better stated as "about 123,500".
On the other hand, rounding can introduce some "round-off error" as a result. Rounding is almost unavoidable in many computations, especially when dividing two numbers in integer or doing fixed-point arithmetic; when computing mathematical functions such as square roots, logarithms, and sines; or when using a floating point representation with a fixed number of significant digits. In a sequence of calculations, these rounding errors generally accumulate, and in certain "ill-conditioned" cases, they may make the result meaningless.
