Nernst Equation is a scientific equation used to find the reduction potential or voltage of an electrochemical cell.
It is widely used in cell physiology and neurobiology.
It is named after Walther Nernst.
He was a German chemist who created this equation.
Ecell = Reduction potential or voltage of the electrochemical cell.
E = Standard potential of the cell.
It is the reduction potential of the cell or voltage under standard conditions (Temperature = 298 Kelvin, Pressure = 1 bar).
R = Gas constant.
It is an important constant used in thermodynamics.
Its value is 8.314 J.K-1.mol-1.
F  = Faraday constant.
It is equal to the charge carried by 1 mole of electrons.
Faraday constant = 96,485.3329 s Ampere/mole.
When the reduction potential of a cell = 0 V, it is in equilibrium.
At equilibrium, the reaction quotient Q = Keq (equilibrium constant).
The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed.
It can only be transformed from one form to another.
This law also applies to nutrition.
Calories in versus calories out
Many experts disagree with the belief of counting calories as a method to lose bodyfat.
1 pound of bodyfat roughly equals 3500 calories.
Therefore, eating 500 calories less everyday for 7 days straight would result in exactly 1 pound of loss in bodyfat.
Several studies have proven this to be false solidifying the belief that counting calories does not work.
This disparity can be explained.
Thermic effect of food: 1 calorie of protein is not the same as 1 calorie of carbohydrates or fats.
The body requires energy to digest food.
Fats require only 0-3% of the total energy from food to get digested.
Carbohydrates require 5-10% of energy while proteins require 20-30% of energy.
Therefore, the macronutrient profile (protein, carbohydrates and fats ratio) play an important role in weight loss.
NEAT: Non exercise activity thermogenesis or NEAT is the amount of energy a person uses during daily activities.
Examples of NEAT include jittering, walking, brushing teeth and even writing.
People generally feel weaker when they consume less calories so they tend to move less reducing NEAT.
Miscounting calories: Studies have shown that over 90% of the population underestimate their daily caloric consumption.
Ultimately, calories consumed versus calories spent will always hold true.
In order to lose weight, one must consume less calories and move more.
An angle grinder is a handheld power tool.
It is also known as a disc grinder or side grinder.
They are commonly used in machine shops and metal workshops.
Most angle grinders today are powered by electricity.
They can be corded or battery-powered.
Angle grinders can be used for cutting, grinding, and polishing objects.
There are different kinds of discs that are used for various materials and tasks.
Angle grinders can use grinding stones, sanding discs, wire brush wheels, cut-off discs, abrasive grinding discs, and polishing pads.
Angle grinders come in different disc sizes and motor specifications.
Other differences include a power source, rpm, and arbor size.
Generally disc size and power increase together.
Disc size is measured in imperial or metric units.
Pneumatic grinders are generally used for lighter duty jobs where more precision is required.
Electric grinders are more commonly used for larger, heavy-duty jobs.
Angle grinders generate sparks when cutting ferrous metals.
The blades on the angle grinder may also break during operation.
Proper personal protective equipment must always be worn when using an angle grinder.
Angle grinders should never be used without their guard or handle attached.
Inspect the discs for cracks, defects, and wear before using an angle grinder.
Demosthenes "Demis" Hassabis  (born 27 July 1976) is a significant figure in artificial intelligence.
He is a British researcher, neuroscientist, video game designer, entrepreneur, and five times winner of the Pentamind board games championship.
Hassabis is the CEO and co-founder of DeepMind, a machine learning AI startup, founded in London in 2010 with Shane Legg and Mustafa Suleyman.
Hassabis met Legg when both were postdocs at University College London's Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit, and he and Suleyman had been friends through family.
DeepMind's mission is to "solve intelligence" and then use intelligence "to solve everything else".
More concretely, DeepMind aims to use powerful general-purpose learning algorithms to build an artificial general intelligence (AGI).
They created AlphaGo, a program which defeated world champion Lee Sedol at the complex game of Go.
Go had been considered a holy grail of AI, for its high number of possible board positions and resistance to existing programming techniques.
However, AlphaGo beat European champion Fan Hui 5-0 in October 2015 before winning 4-1 against former world champion Lee Sedol in March 2016.
More recently, DeepMind turned its artificial intelligence to protein-folding, one of the toughest problems in science.
In December 2018, DeepMind's tool AlphaFold won the 13th Critical Assessment of Techniques for Protein Structure Prediction (CASP) by successfully predicting the most accurate structure for 25 out of 43 proteins.
Although Hassabis is expert at many games, he does not program specific rules into Deep Mind.
For Go and chess, the machine played many games with itself, learning from its results.
In other words it taught itself how to play, given the basic rules of the game.

"My Grandfather's Clock" is a song.
Henry Clay Work wrote it in 1876.
Henry Clay Work also wrote "Marching Through Georgia".
British brass bands and colliery bands play "My Grandfather's Clock".
Bluegrass musicians also play it.
The Oxford English Dictionary says the word "grandfather clock" comes from this song.
Before that, grandfather clocks were called "longcase clocks".
In 1905,  Harry Macdonough and the Haydn Quartet (known then as the "Edison Quartet") made the first recording of this song that people know about.
The song is told from a grandchild's point of view.
The song is about their grandfather's clock.
The clock seems to know good and bad things that happen in the grandfather's life: It rings 24 chimes when the grandfather brings his new wife into his house.
Near the grandfather's death, it rings an alarm, so the family gathers by his bed.
After the grandfather dies, the clock stops and it never works again.
Work wrote a sequel to the song two years later.
The grandchild is the narrator again.
The grandson says he is sad that the clock no longer works.
The clock is sold to a junk dealer, who sells its parts and sells its case for people to burn.
In the grandfather's house, the clock is replaced by a wall clock.
The grandchild does not like the wall clock and calls it "that vain, stuck-up thing on the wall".
The sequel was never as popular as the original.
Covers and inspirations
The song was performed and translated many times.
In the Czech version, sung by the country band Taxmeni, the song continues with an additional, joyful strophe, narrating further events in the grandson's life: the birth of his son and the purchase of a new clock on the same day, to maintain the family tradition.
"My Grandfather's Clock" was often played in Britain on Children's Favourites.
It was recorded by the Radio Revellers.
In the United States, a version, without the last stanza of lyrics was recorded on an extended-play 45 rpm vinyl record on the Peter Pan label. (
The other song on that side was "The Syncopated Clock", and the other side had "The Arkansas Traveler" and "Red River Valley".)
Johnny Cash covered the song on his 1959 album Songs of Our Soil.
In 1959, it was included on the Four Lads' album, Swing Along.
Other versions became popular in other countries, for example, in Japan, singer Ken Hirai performed a cover, which became massively popular in 2002.
In March 1961, on his album Swing Low, Sam Cooke sang the song.
Bing Crosby sang the song in a medley on his album 101 Gang Songs (1961).
The song was the inspiration for the 1963 Twilight Zone episode "Ninety Years Without Slumbering".
A popular clock toy, marketed by Fisher-Price from 1962 to 1968, had a dial on it that, when turned, caused the music box mechanism in the toy to play the song along with clock-like ticking and moving hands on the face of the clock.
A new version of the toy (which is completely made of plastic and has other activities like a clicking plastic mouse on the side) has been manufactured by Fisher-Price since 1994.
Other companies have also made imitations of the toy worldwide.
Jon Pertwee recorded a version in 1966 for the children's album Children's Favourites, on the Music for Pleasure record label.
John Fahey recorded a solo guitar version on his 1967 album Days Have Gone By.

Garrison Keillor and the cast of the radio show A Prairie Home Companion recorded a parody titled "My Grandmother's Cat", telling the story of an old woman who overfed her cat until it was big enough to knock her down and try to eat her.
"My Grandfather's Clock" is a playable song in the 2008 video game Wii Music.
This song was also used in the video game, Five Nights at Freddy's 2, made by Scott Cawthon.
It was released on November 10, 2014.
The chorus of the song plays whenever a music box is wound up to keep one of the game's animatronic enemies away.

Ninety years without slumbering  (tick, tick, tick, tick),
His life seconds numbering, (tick, tick, tick, tick),
It stopp'd short never to go again when the old man died
It stopp'd short — never to go again —
It stopp'd short never to go again -  when the old man died.

The 38th Super Bowl was shown on television as it was happening on February 1, 2004 on CBS.
The halftime show of the Super Bowl got controversy when Janet Jackson's breast was revealed by Justin Timberlake to everyone watching the show.
This caused a big debate on broadcasting things that people might see as offensive.
MTV was the producer of the halftime show.
143.6 million people watched the halftime show when it first happened.
The incident with Jackson and Timberlake made CBS and MTV remove Jackson's songs from its radio and television channels.
The Federal Communications Commission gave CBS a fine of US$27,500 for the incident.
The fine was made bigger for US$325,000 and then even bigger, for US$550,000.
The Third Circuit Court of Appeals removed the fine in 2011.
The FCC tried to put another fine on CBS in 2012, but it was rejected.
The incident made Janet Jackson the most searched words ever on the Internet.
It also became the most watched event on TiVo and made 35,000 people become new subscribers to TiVo.
The term "wardrobe malfunction" (meaning an error related to clothing) was made because of the incident.
It was later added to Webster's Dictionary.

The Blue Whale Challenge, also called Blue Whale game, or simply Blue whale is an internet phenomenon that started in 2016, in Russia.
Over a period of 50 days, participants are assigned tasks.
Each participant gets one task a day.
At first, the tasks are harmless (such as: get up at 4.30am, and watch a horror movie).
Later, the tasks require the participants to hurt themselves.
The final task requires the player to commit suicide.
When people want to quit, they are threatened.
Sometimes, this includes threats to the family of the participant.
The first to report on this was the Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta, in 2016.
It  linked many suicides of children.
All these children had been members of the group "F57", in the Russian social network called VK.
The article claimed there were 130 suicides because of the challenge.
The article was later criticized, because it made connections where none existed.
None of the suicides were found to be related to the activities of the group.
There were several suicides which have been linked to the challenge.
So far, no link has been proven.
Two girls in Irkutslk, aged 14 and 15 years committed suicide together, after solving 50 tasks.
They jumped off a building.
Another 14 year old threw herself in front of a train.
The Way It Is is the debut studio album by American R&B singer Keyshia Cole; it was released on June 21, 2005, by A&M Records.
The album debuted at number 6 on the US Billboard 200 and it was supported by five singles, including "Never", "I Changed My Mind", "(I Just Want It) To Be Over", "I Should Have Cheated" and "Love".
The album sold 89,000 units in its first week.
The album was certified gold within 17 weeks, and then platinum, only eight weeks later.
The album stayed on the charts for over a year, eventually selling over 1.6 million copies and it is Cole's second highest-selling album to date.
Upon its release, The Way It is garnered generally favorable reviews from music critics.
At Metacritic, which assigns a rated mean out of 100 from mainstream critics, the album received a score of 77.
He felt that "from the opener, the album seems to be set up like a linear narrative about a crumbling relationship, but it doesn't quite play out that way, with the scenes shuffled out of order.
None of it's all that profound, but Cole sells it all extremely well. [
Her] voice is sweet and ringing, like a wiser version of Lil' Mo who has had to weather a tremendous amount of drama.
She could be around for a while."
Janet Tzou, writing for Entertainment Weekly found that "Cole certainly nails all the basics on The Way It Is: big-name guest talent and husky ballads lamenting those tricky matters of the heart.
But Cole's native Oakland, California upbringing gives her vocals depth and her songs a genuine, lived-in feel."
"I Changed My Mind" contains an sample from "Get Out of My Life", written by Allen Toussaint and performed by Solomon Burke.
"Love, I Thought You Had My Back" contains elements from "Loves Jones", written by Randolph Murph, Ralph Eskridge, and Clarence Johnson from Brighter Side of Darkness.
"You've Changed" contains elements from "Sounds Like a Love Song", performed by Bobby Glenn.
"Never" contains sampled portions from "Never Too Much", written and performed by Luther Vandross.

Defection is when a person leaves their home country in a way the home country claims to be illegal.
To the first country, they can be seen as traitors.
More broadly, it involves abandoning a person, cause, or doctrine to which one is bound by some tie.
The tie may be one of allegiance or of duty.
An example of this today are North Koreans who escape the country to live in a new country, such as South Korea or the United States.
The North Korean government makes leaving the country without permission illegal, and punishments for this are extremely harsh.
Escapees who are caught usually get sent to a prison camp or are publicly put to death.
There have been around 33,000 defectors from North Korea since the North Korean famine.
