Limit of a function

In calculus, a branch of mathematics, the **limit of a function** is the behavior of a certain function near a selected input value for that function. Limits are one of the main calculus topics, along with derivatives,  integration, and differential equations.

## Definition of the limit

The definition of the limit is as follows:
- _If the function  approaches a number  as  approaches a number , then _

The notation for the limit above is read as "The limit of  as  approaches  is ", or alternatively,  as   (reads " tends to  as  tends to "). Informally, this means that we can make  as close to  as possible—by making  sufficiently close to  from both sides (without making  equal to ).

Imagine we have a function such as . When ,   is undefined, because  and division by zero is undefined. On the Cartesian coordinate system, the function  would have a vertical asymptote at . In limit notation, this would be written as:

- _The limit of  as  approaches  is , which is denoted by  _

### Right and left limits

Consider the function , we can get as close to  in the -values as we want, so long as we do _not_ make  equal to . For instance, we could make x=.00000001 or -.00000001, but never 0. Therefore, we can get  as close as we want to  or  depending on if we approach 0 from the right side or the left side. The **left limit** is the limit the function tends to if we only approach the target x-value from the left, for instance in the case of  when getting close to the 0 x-value from the left side, by using x-values that are smaller than 0, the limit would approach . In the same way, the **right limit** is the limit the function tends to if we only approach the target x-value from the right, for instance in the case of  when getting close to the 0 x-value from the right side, by using x-values that are larger than 0, the limit would approach .

The Sims 3

***The Sims 3*** is a computer game for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. It was released on June 2, 2009 and is a sequel to the popular _The Sims_ and _The Sims 2_ computer games. There have been versions of the game for consoles and mobile phones as well. _The Sims 3_ was a success right when it was released. The game has sold 1.4 million copies in its first week and over ten million copies worldwide to date.

EA released a sequel, _The Sims 4_, in September 2, 2014.

## Gameplay

The Sims 3 is made with the same idea as the games before it. The player controls their own Sims in activities and relationships in a similar manner to real life. The game play is open-ended and has no limits. Sims houses and neighborhoods are in one huge map. The developers stated, "What you do outside your home now matters as much as what you do within." The game includes an optional feature called "Story Progression", which allows all Sims in the neighborhood to continue on their own as if the player were controlling them, such as grow up, get married, get jobs and promotions, have children, and build or buy their dream house while the player is not playing. The Sims 2 used a reward system called Wants and Fears. This is replaced with a new system called Wishes in The Sims 3. Completing a Sim's wish helps the Sim's Lifetime Happiness score and mood. Some wishes, such as "Go to the Park", may add little points to their lifetime happiness while "Have A Baby Boy" may add thousands of points. In The Sims 2, Wants and Fears also contributed to a Sim's "Aspiration" meter, the same to current self-esteem. In The Sims 3, Aspiration is removed entirely, replaced with "Moodlets", which contribute good or bad values to the original Motivation meter. Moodlets can be inspired by physical events, such as having a good meal or comfort from sitting in a good chair, as well as emotional events like a first kiss or a break-up. Most moodlets last for a set amount of time, but some bad Moodlets can be cured (such as the one caused by a need to use the bathroom) and some positive ones rely on the Sim's surroundings and traits.

Charlton Heston

**Charlton Heston** (October 4, 1923 – April 5, 2008) was an American actor and political activist. He had many big roles, such as playing Moses in the movie _The Ten Commandments_, astronaut Colonel George Taylor in _Planet of the Apes_ (1968) and _Beneath the Planet of the Apes_ (1970), the dystopian _The Omega Man_ (1971), and _Soylent Green_ (1973). Heston played Judah Ben-Hur in the Academy Award-winning _Ben-Hur_.

## Early life

He was born in Wilmette, Illinois on October 4, 1923. He was raised in St. Helen, Michigan. Heston studied at New Trier High School and at Northwestern University.

It was rare for a Hollywood actor to be for such causes at that time. Later in his life, he was for conservative causes such as gun rights. He was president of the National Rifle Association of America, a group that is for the rights of gun owners, from 1998 to 2003.

In July 2003, he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom at the White House from President George W. Bush.

Ambush marketing

**Ambush marketing** is a form of marketing. Many events, especially in sports have sponsors. These sponsors pay money, which makes it possible to hold the event. In return for this, they get publicity and media coverage. Ambush marketing is a name given to marketing campaigns that are also done around the event, but where no money is paid for the event.

There are many major events where one company will pay money to become the _exclusive sponsor_ of the event (or in a category of the event).  This blocks other brands or companies.  These other brands then seek to promote themselves in connection with the same event.  They do not pay the sponsorship fee.  Even if they wanted to, they could not, because one brand is the exclusive sponsor.

Ambush marketing is not illegal, and many people do it.  Examples in sport include FIFA World Cup, Olympic Games, and the Super Bowl.

Anti-ambush marketing regulations have become controversial for restricting freedom of speech and self-promotion.

## Famous "ambush marketing"

- 1984 Summer Olympics; Kodak sponsors TV broadcasts of the games as well as the US track team even though Fujifilm is the official sponsor.
- 1988 Summer Olympics; Fujifilm sponsors the games, but Kodak is the official sponsor.
- 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona; Nike sponsors press conferences with the US basketball team despite Reebok being the official sponsor. During ceremonies, the players covered their Reebok logos.
- 1994 Winter Olympics; American Express sponsors the games despite Visa being the official sponsor.
- 1996 Atlanta Olympics; sprinter Linford Christie wore contact lenses embossed with the Puma AG logo at the press conference preceding the 100 metres final, despite Reebok being the official sponsor.
- 1996 Atlanta Olympics; Messages On Hold strategically infiltrates a banner within the camera frame as US runner Jon Drummond prepares for the opening leg of 4x100 relay final. The moment is broadcast live across the world.
- 1996 Cricket World Cup; Pepsi ran a series of advertisements titled "Nothing official about it" targeting the official sponsor Coca Cola.
- 1998 World Cup; Nike sponsored a number of teams competing in the Cup despite Adidas being the official sponsor.
- 2000 Sydney Olympics; Qantas Airlines’ slogan "The Spirit of Australia" sounds strikingly similar to the games’ slogan "Share the Spirit." despite Ansett Air being the official sponsor.
- 2002 Boston Marathon; as Adidas-sponsored runners come off the course Nike are treated to spray-painted messages honoring the day of the race, but not the race itself.
- 2003 Cricket World Cup; Indian players threatened to strike over concerns that the anti-ambush marketing rules were too strict. Of particular concern was the length of time before and after the cup that players were not allowed to endorse a rival to one of the official sponsors. Players argued that if they had pre-existing contracts that they would be in breach of them if they were to accept the ICC's rules.
- 2006 FIFA World Cup; fans of the Netherlands had to disrobe Bavaria Brewery's leeuwenhosen because Budweiser was the official beer sponsor.

Vexilloid

A **vexilloid** has the same functions as a flag but it looks different. Vexilloids are characteristic of traditional societies and ancient empires (Flags did not come into general use until medieval times.).  A _vexilloid_ consists of a staff held upright with a cloth banner that hangs down vertically on the staff and on top of the staff is an emblem, such as a carved animal.

## Literature

Whitney Smith, _Flags Through the Ages and Across the World_,
Gorgon

In Greek mythology, the **Gorgons** were female monsters that had fangs and serpents for hair with bronze claws. They were the daughters of Phorkys and Keto. The serpents in their hair were special: Everyone who looked at them was turned to stone. There were three Gorgons, named Stheno, Euryale and Medusa. Only Medusa was mortal. She was beheaded by Perseus. Medusa's head was brought to Athena. There are many motives showing Athena with an aegis, and a Gorgon's head on her chest.

Homer only talks about one Gorgon. Hesiod names all three, Stheno, the powerful one, Euryale,who could jump far, and trouble-ridden Medusa, the queen. According to Hesiod, they lived at the edge of the known world, in the Atlas Mountains. At a later time, Libya is also named as their home.

With Hellenism came the myth that the Gorgo was a sister of Alexander the Great. In this myth, she is a neck, a water spirit. The sailors of each passing boat are asked whether he is still alive. If they answer no, she takes the boat and the sailors into the water. The answer that saves the lives of the seamen is "Yes, and he reigns as a king" ().

The heads of the Gorgons are often found on shields, capes and amulets. These were believed to be magic. The magic that is used against bad spirits and bad luck is known as apotropaic magic.
As the World Turns

***As the World Turns*** (***ATWT***) is an American television soap opera that airs each weekday on CBS.

Set in the made-up town of Oakdale, Illinois, the show first went on TV on Monday, April 2, 1956 at 1:30pm EST. Before this show, all soaps were fifteen minutes in length; ATWT was the first half-hour soap opera.

At first, viewers were not excited about it, but ratings picked up in its second year, and reached the top spot in the daytime Nielsen Ratings by the fall of 1958. _As the World Turns_ was the most-watched daytime drama from 1958 until 1978, with ten million people watching each day. At its height, the main actors such as Helen Wagner, Don MacLaughlin, Don Hastings, and Eileen Fulton became very well known in the United States.

The show went from black-and-white to color in the mid-1960s, with the final black-and-white episode shown on February 10, 1967. The show went from a half-hour in length to one hour starting on December 1, 1975. Also in 1975, they stopped doing the show live, and decided to tape it instead - that way, more than one episode could be taped in a day, and the actors would not have to work every day.

April 2, 2006 was the 50th anniversary of the soap opera on CBS. The show aired its 13,000th episode April 23, 2007; the 10,000th episode aired on May 12, 1995.  _As the World Turns_ is well known for having been taped in New York City for all of its 52 years on television (43 years in Manhattan and nine years in Brooklyn).
On December 8, 2009, CBS announced that _As the World Turns_ would air its last episode in September 2010. The series concluded on September 17, 2010.

Traffic collision

A **traffic collision**, also known as a **car accident**, **motor vehicle collision** or **car crash**, is when a vehicle hits another vehicle, person or object. Pedestrians, animals, road debris or other objects may be involved.  Sometimes a trial occurs, in order to determine fault in a traffic collision.

Traffic collisions often result in injury, death, and property damage. They injure tens of millions of people every year, and kill usually a little more than a million.

Road safety is partly a matter of design. Ideally, roads should be designed for the safety of all road users. This would mean providing adequate facilities for pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists. Infrastructure measures such as footpaths, cycling lanes, safe crossing points, and other traffic calming measures can help reduce the risk of injury.
