Sphygmomanometer

A **sphygmomanometer** ((, ; also called a **blood pressure meter**, **blood pressure monitor**, or **blood pressure gauge**) is a device used to measure blood pressure in humans. It was first invented by an Austrian physician in 1881. They now come in different shapes and sizes. They can be found in many places.

The sphygmomanometer works by wrapping a tube of fabric (called a "cuff") around the arm or other body part. The cuff is filled up with air. That stops the flow of blood in the arm. The air is then released slowly until the blood flows again. The whole process, from start to finish, only takes about a minute.

Many sphygmomanometers are inflated by squeezing a bulb. A gauge shows how much the cuff is inflated. The gauge can be mechanical or hydraulic (filled with mercury).  It is important that the cuff is not inflated too much, so whoever is using the device has to use a stethoscope. 

Some sphygmomanometers, especially those that people use at home, are automatic. They inflate using an electric pump. They show the blood pressure on a screen. They are meant to be very easy to use.

Casimir effect

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. If a space was completely empty, we would know that the field's magnitude and its rate of change would both be zero. That would violate the uncertainty principle. Therefore, there must actually be tiny fluctuations in the space even though it seems empty. These fluctuations take the form of virtual particles, which we can't detect directly. 

However, we can see the effects they have on real particles. Some of the particles are virtual photons, which can also be considered waves. There is a very short distance between the reflective metal plates used in the experiment, so only certain virtual photons can fit between them. If the distance divided by the wavelength equals a whole number, that virtual photon will fit. If it's not a whole number, the peaks and troughs of the waves will eventually sync up and cancel out, so that virtual photon won't fit.  Since there are fewer virtual particles on the inside of the plates than the outside, there is a greater force on the outside of the plates. This causes the plates to be pushed inwards.

## Negative spacetime 
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.

Night of Terror

The **Night of Terror** refers to November 14, 1917 when several women were arrested for protesting in front of the White House for women's rights. This event is most known for the brutal torture of women in the Occoquan Workhouse in Virginia. The 300 plus activists involved were fighting against President Woodrow Wilson for the right to vote. Thirty-three women were thrown in jail and these women were the ones who experienced the night of terror. Lucy Burns, one of the founders of the National Woman's Party was chained to her cell with her arms in the air.  The women declared a hunger strike and in response, they were force-fed by being held down on a chair and having a long tube shoved down their throats. The jailers attached a funnel to the tube, and poured in mushed up raw eggs and milk for protein until they threw up. During the Night of Terror, Burns was beaten for calling out to other inmates, and her arms handcuffed above her head in her cell. One woman was stabbed between the eyes with the broken staff of her banner at the Workhouse.

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.
