We often find ourselves entranced by the idea that the path to our desires lies in avoiding the laborious, the tedious, or the challenging tasks.

Conceptually, quantum supremacy involves both the engineering task of building a powerful quantum computer and the computational-complexity-theoretic task of finding a problem that can be solved by that quantum computer and has a superpolynomial speedup over the best known or possible classical algorithm for that task. The term was originally popularized by John Preskill, but the concept of a <b><span style="color: #b45f06;">quantum computational advantage</span></b>, specifically for simulating quantum systems, dates back to Yuri Manin's (1980) and Richard Feynman's (1981) proposals of quantum computing. Examples of proposals to demonstrate quantum supremacy include the boson sampling proposal of Aaronson and Arkhipov, D-Wave's specialized frustrated cluster loop problems, and sampling the output of random quantum circuits. However, despite the lofty promises of quantum computation, the likelihood for high error when performing computations with a large number of qubits as well as advances in classical computation that are keeping classical performance comparable to quantum performance encourages skeptics to doubt the importance of demonstrating quantum supremacy at all.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: verdana; font-size: x-large;"><b>Computational complexity</b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_5G5vdlWNQcyMUhyphenhyphennV0PPblIwsDcF8zdLOw66pM5IGl90NbHGHE1YUN24xMuW9F8oA7TAtrAb1nfeNknV5bvA0kk7TLp7EXJCvZ2Y7WQzo56hmvGyqMVPPWELtsdmJELMg8I24M5eX4o/s640/super+complexity+msidelicious.com.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="382" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_5G5vdlWNQcyMUhyphenhyphennV0PPblIwsDcF8zdLOw66pM5IGl90NbHGHE1YUN24xMuW9F8oA7TAtrAb1nfeNknV5bvA0kk7TLp7EXJCvZ2Y7WQzo56hmvGyqMVPPWELtsdmJELMg8I24M5eX4o/s16000/super+complexity+msidelicious.com.jpg" /></a></div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Complexity arguments concern how the amount of some resource needed to solve a problem (generally time or memory) scales with the size of the input. In this setting, a problem consists of an inputted problem instance (<b><span style="color: #274e13;">a binary string</span></b>) and returned solution (<b><span style="color: #741b47;">corresponding output string</span></b>), while resources refers to designated elementary operations, memory usage, or communication. A collection of local operations allows for the computer to generate the output string. A circuit model and its corresponding operations are useful in describing both classical and quantum problems; the classical circuit model consists of basic operations such as AND gates, OR gates, and NOT gates while the quantum model consists of classical circuits and the application of unitary operations. Unlike the finite set of classical gates, there are an <b><span style="color: #741b47;">infinite amount of quantum gates</span></b> due to the continuous nature of unitary operations. In both classical and quantum cases, complexity swells with increasing problem size. As an extension of classical computational complexity theory, quantum complexity theory considers what a theoretical universal quantum computer could accomplish without accounting for the difficulty of building a physical quantum computer or dealing with decoherence and noise. Since quantum information is a generalization of classical information, quantum computers can simulate any classical algorithm.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Quantum complexity classes are <b><span style="color: #660000;">sets of problems</span></b> that share a common quantum computational model, with each model containing specified resource constraints. Circuit models are useful in describing quantum complexity classes. The most useful quantum complexity class is BQP (bounded-error quantum polynomial time), the class of decision problems that can be solved in polynomial time by a universal quantum computer.Questions about BQP still remain, such as the connection between BQP and the polynomial-time hierarchy, whether or not BQP contains NP-complete problems, and the exact lower and upper bounds of the BQP class. Not only would answers to these questions reveal the nature of BQP, but they would also answer <b><span style="color: #660000;">difficult classical complexity theory questions</span></b>. One strategy for better understanding BQP is by defining related classes, ordering them into a conventional class hierarchy, and then looking for properties that are revealed by their relation to BQP. There are several other quantum complexity classes, such as QMA (quantum Merlin Arthur) and QIP (quantum interactive polynomial time).</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The difficulty of proving what cannot be done with classical computing is a common problem in definitively demonstrating <b><span style="color: #0c343d;">quantum supremacy</span></b>. Contrary to decision problems that require yes or no answers, sampling problems ask for samples from probability distributions. If there is a classical algorithm that can efficiently sample from the output of an arbitrary quantum circuit, the polynomial hierarchy would collapse to the third level, which is generally considered to be very unlikely. Boson sampling is a more specific proposal, the classical hardness of which depends upon the intractability of calculating the permanent of a large matrix with complex entries, which is a #P-complete problem. The arguments used to reach this conclusion have also been extended to IQP Sampling,where only the conjecture that the average- and worst-case complexities of the problem are the same is needed.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: verdana; font-size: x-large;"><b>Proposed experiments</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: verdana; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: verdana; font-size: x-large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivELBaGtYfyxvFM73PeGcT9RmPp54JPXJytn72jCRWLQ6Wqo8UEJq3WAFofE2A-Bm7-rnGy2adoTIEaSwVJMwZVwzB3ZBvhJEpoiUEVGNBdT992jRIr9mRJWGY-yyLQxHzJ1IFSyPHyA4/s640/success-2081168_640.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="360" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivELBaGtYfyxvFM73PeGcT9RmPp54JPXJytn72jCRWLQ6Wqo8UEJq3WAFofE2A-Bm7-rnGy2adoTIEaSwVJMwZVwzB3ZBvhJEpoiUEVGNBdT992jRIr9mRJWGY-yyLQxHzJ1IFSyPHyA4/s16000/success-2081168_640.jpg" /></a></div><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The following are proposals for demonstrating quantum computational supremacy using current technology, often called NISQ devices. Such proposals include (1) <b><span style="color: #741b47;">a well-defined computational problem</span></b>, (2) <b><span style="color: #660000;">a quantum algorithm to solve this problem</span></b>, (3) <b><span style="color: #073763;">a comparison best-case classical algorithm to solve the problem</span></b>, and (4) <b><span style="color: #274e13;">a complexity-theoretic argument that, under a reasonable assumption, no classical algorithm can perform significantly better than current algorithms</span></b> (so the quantum algorithm still provides a superpolynomial speedup).</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><b>Shor's algorithm for factoring integers</b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">This algorithm finds the prime <b>factorization of an n-bit integer</b> in time.

By 1875, many countries in Europe and in Latin America had changed to using the metric system. In 1875, seventeen countries signed the Metre Convention agreeing to share responsibility for defining and managing the metre and kilogram standards. The prototype copies of the metre and of the kilogram were called the "international prototype metre" and "international prototype kilogram". A new organization called the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) was set up. The international prototype metre and kilogram were kept at the BIPM headquarters. In 1960, the rules for the metric system were revised. The revised system was called the "International System of Units" (which is often called "SI" for short). The definition of SI also included rules for writing SI quantities. These rules are the same for all countries. In the 1970s, many people in the United Kingdom and the rest of the Commonwealth started using the metric system in their places of work.</span></p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-size: x-large;"><b>Description</b></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzNlLas8ZfU8cRyx6FkNGN4qHGW36MmB0ibjTCMXJ9BJdOyTwopgvoXxRTzgi0XHoRUS1WA-3-LC7lOVEAUPBCCH2ojM7NksjQv9U6txBG9d6AbBHKL-fif86oD3IolHzuBScKERfR0r8/s640/msidelicious.com+kilometer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="394" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzNlLas8ZfU8cRyx6FkNGN4qHGW36MmB0ibjTCMXJ9BJdOyTwopgvoXxRTzgi0XHoRUS1WA-3-LC7lOVEAUPBCCH2ojM7NksjQv9U6txBG9d6AbBHKL-fif86oD3IolHzuBScKERfR0r8/s16000/msidelicious.com+kilometer.jpg" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The metric system is a decimal-based system of measurement. The system has units of measure for each quantity. The names of most units of measure in the metric system have two parts. One part is the unit name and the other part is the prefix. For example, in the name "centimetre", the word "centi" is the prefix and the word "metre" is the unit name. Sometimes, as with metre, litre and gram, there is no prefix.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">In the metric system, all units have a "symbol". Symbols are a shorthand way of writing the names of units. All the countries in the world use the same symbol for a unit, even though they might have different ways of writing out the unit name in full.

A French law passed in 1795 defined five units of measure. Three of these names are still in use today. They are the metre which is the unit of length, the gram which is the unit of mass and the litre which is the unit of volume. Since then many other units of measure have been developed and many definitions changed. The metric system now has units of measurement for energy, power, force, electric current, radioactivity and many others. The most commonly used units of measure in the metric system are listed below.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b>Length</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">In the metric system, length is measured in metres. The symbol for the metre is the letter "m". The metre was originally defined as being 1⁄10,000,000 of the distance between the North Pole and the Equator on the meridian that passed through Paris. In 1799, a platinum bar that was equal to this length was made and became the "prototype metre"</span></p><p><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b>Volume</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">In the metric system, volume is measured in litres. The symbol for the litre is "L". In 1795 the French Government defined one litre as being the same volume as the volume of a cube which had sides that were 10 centimetres (3.9 in).</span></p><p><span style="color: #990000; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b>Mass</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">In the metric system, mass is measured in grams. The symbol for the gram is the letter "g". In 1795 the French Government defined the gram as the mass of one cubic centimetre of water at the freezing point of ice. This was difficult to measure, so in 1799 the French Government made a "prototype kilogram" (1,000 grams or 35 ounces) mass.</span></p><p><span style="color: #660000; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b>Temperature</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">In the metric system, temperature is measured in degrees Celsius. The symbol for degrees Celsius is "°C". Water freezes at "0 °C (32 °F)" and boils at "100 °C (212 °F)".</span></p><p><span style="color: #bf9000; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b><a href="https://www.msidelicious.com/2020/08/seneca-how-to-manage-your-time-stoicism.html" target="_blank">Time</a></b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">In the metric system, the unit of time is the seconds. The second was first used as part of the metric system by Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1832.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The definitions of the units are often being changed. In 1960 the definition of the metre was changed. Since then it has been defined in terms of the speed of light. In 2019, the kilogram is redefined in terms of the Planck constant.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: verdana; font-size: x-large;"><b>Prefixes</b></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1bRU_22lMpxePKd0rC0bsa5NmZ-1D6kx7l7xzrBVM6ZBHmdPBWPw59GPYLPx9vkiP9JCwNrCDxixNfJSKnKKRzs3g6OOgNFc7KHaxYJFakIn0yNh44CygZBoHPmOvypEolT0d4Ds8f5Y/s886/msidelicious.com+metric+system.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="560" data-original-width="886" height="404" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1bRU_22lMpxePKd0rC0bsa5NmZ-1D6kx7l7xzrBVM6ZBHmdPBWPw59GPYLPx9vkiP9JCwNrCDxixNfJSKnKKRzs3g6OOgNFc7KHaxYJFakIn0yNh44CygZBoHPmOvypEolT0d4Ds8f5Y/w640-h404/msidelicious.com+metric+system.png" width="640" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">If the numbers are too big or too small, the metric system uses prefixes to make it easier to understand the numbers.</span></p><p><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b>milli</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The prefix milli is used to show that a measurement is 1⁄1000 (or 0.001) of the base measurement:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">There are 1000 milligrams (mg) in a gram.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">There are 1000 millimetres (mm) in a metre.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">There are 1000 millilitres (mL) in a litre.</span></p><p><span style="color: #660000; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b>centi</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The prefix centi is used to show that a measurement is 1⁄100 (or 0.01) of the base measurement:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">There are 100 centimetres (cm) in a metre.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">There are 100 centilitres (cL) in a litre.</span></p><p><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b>kilo</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The prefix kilo is used to show that a measurement is 1000 times as large of the base measurement:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">There are 1000 grams in a kilogram (kg).</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">There are 1000 metres in a kilometre (km).</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">There are a lot of other prefixes.

He is considered to be one of the most daring and <b><span style="color: #0b5394;">greatest thinkers of all time</span></b>. His writings on truth, morality, language, aesthetics, cultural theory, history, nihilism, power, consciousness, and the meaning of existence have exerted an enormous influence on Western philosophy and intellectual history. He was one of the biggest precursors of existentialism, which emphasizes the existence of the individual person as a free and responsible agent, determining their own development through acts of will. By his famous words “God is dead!”, Nietzsche moved the focus of philosophy from <b>metaphysics</b> to the <b><span style="color: #741b47;">material world</span></b> and to the individual as a responsible person for his own life. Friedrich Nietzsche wrote several books like The Birth of a Tragedy, Human, All Too Human, The Dawn, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Beyond Good and Evil, Twilight of the Idols, The Will to Power, The Antichrist, and many more. His teachings have <b><span style="color: #b45f06;">shaped the lives of many people</span></b>; from psychologists to poets, dancers to social revolutionaries.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggasXJUtvAC5vV2VQQh7_73UqrmmMnrJc3mF_CLnQ3G51EyMc18uHMLDI7nrp3U4TPiiyE6WSxqEkhyphenhyphenhppKfuf0uRGYgm9Azk5Rhp_XYK85hCsh_Jxdx_FsSAfnlI5frBTV4rYvforOdE/s640/beer+msidelicious.com.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="426" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggasXJUtvAC5vV2VQQh7_73UqrmmMnrJc3mF_CLnQ3G51EyMc18uHMLDI7nrp3U4TPiiyE6WSxqEkhyphenhyphenhppKfuf0uRGYgm9Azk5Rhp_XYK85hCsh_Jxdx_FsSAfnlI5frBTV4rYvforOdE/s0/beer+msidelicious.com.jpg" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">I hope you enjoyed these <b><span style="color: #b45f06;">10 life lessons from Friedrich Nietzsche</span></b> will add value to your life. </span></div>Patrick Alvinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17892449549350000391noreply@blogger.comHolderstraße 7/1, 89584 Ehingen (Donau), Germany48.25534 9.753129999999998725.992720320376407 -25.403122682209016 70.517959679623587 44.909382682209014tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5441622067301654821.post-39479148699261285232020-08-29T03:39:00.001-07:002020-08-29T03:56:28.564-07:00How To Build Self Discipline - Marcus Aurelius<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRzIC6s6KYCQfX5rSTYe96IIRno_xao6-TUxWC3ChLqf-BHrlk49l953xlDi_JnZoqhjlfxIyeC3kLpiHiORsRMRzsy31nTRtPMEHY9JHmOApsoCxT0JogwPuz2O51AFT8uN3dVIrY6YE/s640/perfection+msidelicious.com.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="426" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRzIC6s6KYCQfX5rSTYe96IIRno_xao6-TUxWC3ChLqf-BHrlk49l953xlDi_JnZoqhjlfxIyeC3kLpiHiORsRMRzsy31nTRtPMEHY9JHmOApsoCxT0JogwPuz2O51AFT8uN3dVIrY6YE/s16000/perfection+msidelicious.com.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b><span style="color: #0b5394;"><i>Markus Aurelius</i></span></b> was a devout student of the philosophy of Stoicism.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #b45f06;">Stadia</span></b> is a cloud gaming service operated by multinational technology company Google. It is capable of streaming video games in <b><span style="color: #741b47;">4K resolution at 60 frames per second</span></b>, with support for high-dynamic-range, to players via the company's numerous data centers across the globe. It will be accessible through the company's <b><span style="color: #a64d79;">Google Chrome</span></b> web browser. The service's integration with <b><span style="color: #990000;">YouTube</span></b>, and its "state share" feature which allows viewers of a Stadia stream to launch a game on the service on the same save state as the streamer, has been used as a selling point for the service. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is compatible with HID class USB controllers, though a proprietary controller manufactured by Google with a direct Wi-Fi link to data centers will be made available alongside the service. Known in development as <b><span style="color: #741b47;">Project Stream</span></b>, the service was debuted through a closed beta running <b><span style="color: #990000;">Assassin's Creed Odyssey</span></b> in October 2018, with a public release planned in late 2019. It is the direct competitor to <b><span style="color: #b45f06;">Sony Interactive Entertainment's PlayStation Now service, and Microsoft's Project xCloud.</span></b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #b45f06;">Stadia</span></b> is a cloud gaming service, and <b><span style="color: #741b47;">requires no additional computer hardware</span></b>, <b><span style="color: #134f5c;">only requiring the device to have an Internet connection</span></b> and support for Google Chrome. Stadia works atop YouTube's functionality in streaming media to the user, as game streaming is seen as an extension of watching video game live streams, according to Google's Phil Harrison; the name "<b><span style="color: #b45f06;">Stadia</span></b>", plural of "<b><span style="color: #274e13;">stadium</span></b>", is meant to reflect that it will be a collection of entertainment, which the viewer can choose to sit back and watch, or take an active part in. As Google had built out a large number of data centers across the globe, the company believes that Stadia is in a better position for cloud gaming compared to past endevours like OnLive, PlayStation Now, and Gaikai, as most players would be geographically close to a data center. Stadia supports the streaming of games in HDR at 60 frames per second with 4K resolution, and anticipates eventually reaching 120 frames per second at 8K resolution. Players can start games without having to download new content to their personal device. Players can opt to record or stream their sessions onto YouTube through Stadia. Viewers of such streams can launch the games directly from the stream with the same save state that they were just watching. While Stadia can use any HID-class USB controller, Google developed its own controller which connects via Wi-Fi directly to the Google datacenter in which the game is running, to reduce input latency. During its GDC 2019 keynote reveal, Google confirmed that the controller would also feature Google Assistant, which will automatically search YouTube for relevant, helpful videos related to the game they are currently playing at the touch of a key.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Three games are planned to launch on Stadia. Assassin's Creed Odyssey, which was used in the Project Stream test in October 2018 in 1080p resolution, and id Software's Doom Eternal, are both planned to launch with 4K resolution, 60 frames per second gameplay, and HDR support. An unannounced third game being developed by Q-Games will utilise the platform's "state share" feature. Doom (2016) was also demonstrated at GDC, but it is unknown whether the Stadia port is intended to be publicly available or only as a demonstration. Phil Harrison stated in an interview with Ars Technica that "a couple of leading fighting games" were in development for the platform, but did not mention any specific games. In addition, a first party developer led by Jade Raymond named Stadia <a href="https://www.msidelicious.com/2019/01/gamer-vs-non-gamer-brains-how-do-video.html" target="_blank">Games</a> and Entertainment will develop additional games for the platform.</span></div>

In some countries, such as the UK, the term "gaming" can also refer to legalized gambling, which can take both traditional tabletop and digital forms. There are many different gamer communities around the world. Since the advent of the internet, many communities take the form of Internet forums or <b><span style="color: #990000;">YouTube</span></b>/<b><span style="color: #351c75;">Twitch</span></b> virtual communities, as well as in-person social clubs.</span></div>

These expectations include not only a high level of dedication to playing games, but also preferences for certain types of games, as well as an interest in game-related paraphernalia like clothing and comic books. According to Graeme Kirkpatrick, the "<b><span style="color: #741b47;">true gamer</span></b>" is concerned first and foremost with gameplay. Escapist founder Alexander Macris says a gamer is an <b><span style="color: #990000;">enthusiast with greater dedication to games than just playing them</span></b>, similar in connotation to "cinemaphile". People who play may not identify as gamers because they feel they don't play "enough" to qualify. Social stigma against games has influenced some women and minorities to distance themselves from the term "gamer", even though they may play regularly.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A <b><span style="color: #990000;">female gamer</span></b>, or gamer girl, is any female who regularly engages in playing video games. According to a study conducted by the Entertainment Software Association in 2009, <b><span style="color: #741b47;">40%</span></b> of the game playing population is female, and women 18 or older comprise <b><span style="color: #134f5c;">34% of all gamers</span></b>. Also, the percentage of women playing online had risen to 43%, up 4% from 2004. The same study shows that 48% of game purchasers are female. According to a 2015 Pew survey, 6% of women in the United States identify as gamers, compared to 15% of men, and 48% of women and 50% of men play video games. Usage of the term "girl gamer" is controversial. Some critics have advocated use of the label as a reappropriated term, while others see it as nondescriptive or perpetuating the minority position of female gamers. <b><span style="color: #b45f06;">Some critics of the term believe there is no singular definition of a female gamer and that they are as diverse as any other group</span></b>.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #073763;">Professional gamers</span></b> generally play video games for prize money or salaries. Such individuals usually deeply study the game to master it and usually to play in competitions. A pro gamer may also be another type of gamer, such as a hardcore gamer, if he or she meets the additional criteria for that gamer type. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The International (TI) is an annual Dota 2 esports tournament hosted by Valve Corporation, the game's developer. The first tournament took place in Cologne, Germany at Gamescom in 2011 and was held shortly after the public reveal of Dota 2, with a total prize pot of $1.6 million. The second International took place in 2012 at the Benaroya Hall in Seattle, and retained the same $1.6 million prize structure. For the third International in 2013, again at Benaroya Hall, Valve introduced an interactive, digital "compendium" which fans could purchase to follow the event and contribute to the prize pool; which reached a $2.8 million prize pool with $1.2 million added from compendium purchases.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The fourth International, this time held at the larger Seattle venue KeyArena in 2014, continued the practice of compendium sales and ultimately broke records for having one of the largest prize pool in esports history, with a total of nearly $11 million. The fifth International took place in 2015, with the prize pool totaling over $18 million, making it the largest esports prize pool for a single tournament until being consecutively surpassed by the sixth and seventh Internationals. The eighth International was held at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, Canada in August 2018.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Warren Moon and Marshall Faulk playing a video game</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is common for games media, games industry analysts, and academics to divide gamers into broad behavioral categories. These categories are sometimes separated by level of dedication to gaming, sometimes by primary type of game played, and sometimes by a combination of those and other factors. There is no general consensus on the definitions or names of these categories, though many attempts have been made to formalize them. An overview of these attempts and their common elements follows.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Newbie</span></b>: Newbie, (commonly shortened to "noob", "n00b", or "newb") is a slang term for a novice or newcomer to a certain game, or to gaming in general.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #674ea7;">Casual gamer</span></b>: The term casual gamer is often used for gamers who primarily play casual games, but can also refer to gamers who play less frequently than other gamers. Casual gamers may play games designed for ease of gameplay, or play more involved games in short sessions, or at a slower pace than hardcore gamers. The types of game that casual gamers play vary, and they are less likely to own a dedicated video game console. Notable examples of casual games include The Sims and Nintendogs. Casual gamer demographics vary greatly from those of other video gamers, as the typical casual gamer is older and more predominantly female. "Fitness gamer"s, who play motion-based exercise games, are also seen as casual gamers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">Core gamer</span></b>: A core or mid-core gamer is a player with a wider range of interests than a casual gamer and is more likely to enthusiastically play different types of games, but without the amount of time spent and sense of competition of a hardcore gamer. The mid-core gamer enjoys games but may not finish every game they buy, doesn't have time for long MMO quests, and is a target consumer. Nintendo president Satoru Iwata stated that they designed the Wii U to cater to core gamers who are in between the casual and hardcore categories. A number of theories have been presented regarding the rise in popularity of mid-core games. James Hursthouse, the founder of Roadhouse Interactive, credits the evolution of devices towards tablets and touch-screen interfaces, whereas Jon Radoff of Disruptor Beam compares the emergence of mid-core games to similar increases in media sophistication that have occurred in media such as television.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #4c1130;">Hardcore gamer</span></b>: Ernest Adams and Scott Kim have proposed classification metrics to distinguish "hardcore gamers" from casual gamers, emphasizing action, competition, complexity, gaming communities, and staying abreast of developments in hardware and software. Others have attempted to draw the distinction based primarily on which platforms a gamer prefers, or to decry the entire concept of delineating casual from hardcore as divisive and vague.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A nuclear submarine is a submarine <b><span style="color: #134f5c;">powered by a nuclear reactor</span></b>. The performance advantages of nuclear submarines over "conventional" (typically diesel-electric) submarines are considerable. Nuclear propulsion, being completely independent of air, frees the submarine from the need to surface frequently, as is necessary for conventional submarines. <b><span style="color: #351c75;">The large amount of power generated by a nuclear reactor allows nuclear submarines to operate at high speed for long periods of time</span></b>; and the long interval between refuelings grants a range virtually unlimited, making the only limits on voyage times being imposed by such factors as the need to restock food or other consumables.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Current generations of nuclear submarines never need to be refueled throughout their 25-year lifespans. Conversely, the limited power stored in electric batteries means that even the most advanced conventional submarine can only remain submerged for a few days at slow speed, and only a few hours at top speed; recent advances in air-independent propulsion have somewhat ameliorated this disadvantage. The high cost of nuclear technology means that relatively few states have fielded nuclear submarines. Some of the most serious nuclear and radiation accidents ever to occur have involved Soviet nuclear submarine mishaps.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As its name states, the research at the LHC involves the collision of hadrons. A hadron is a particle which consists of a number of quarks held together by the subatomic strong force. Protons and neutrons are examples of a hadron. The LHC primarily uses the collision of protons in its experiments. Protons are parts of atoms with a positive charge. The LHC accelerates these protons through the tunnel until they reach nearly the speed of light. Different protons are directed through the tunnel in opposite directions. When they collide, they create conditions similar to the early universe.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Massive MIMO increases sector throughput and capacity density using large numbers of Antenna and Multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO). Each antenna is individually-controlled and may embed radio transceiver components. Nokia claims 5x capacity increase for a 64-Tx/64-Rx antenna system.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One perceived benefit of the transition to 5G is the convergence of multiple networking functions to achieve cost, power and complexity reductions. LTE has targeted convergence with Wi-Fi via various efforts, such as License Assisted Access (LAA) and LTE-WLAN Aggregation (LWA), but the differing capabilities of cellular and Wi-Fi have limited the scope of convergence. However, significant improvement in cellular performance specifications in 5G, combined with migration from Distributed Radio Access Network (D-RAN) to Cloud- or Centralized-RAN (C-RAN) and rollout of cellular small cells can potentially narrow the gap between Wi-Fi and cellular networks in dense and indoor deployments. Radio convergence could result in sharing ranging from aggregation of cellular and Wi-Fi channels to the use of a single silicon device for multiple radio access technologies.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Down the road and wide as a posture, the front of the BMW M8 Gran Coupé offers the immediate promise of an <b><span style="color: #351c75;">exceptional performance experience</span></b>.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The face of the new BMW 8 Series is evident in the graphics of the front. The contour of the radiator grille widens as it lowers the road, accentuating the center of gravity of the car. As with the first BMW coupes, the grid elements are linked by an uninterrupted contour, creating a single great element. The headlamps are positioned slightly above the "kidneys" and give them the impression of a lower position, which further accentuates the proximity of the asphalt machine. By contrast, the golden contour of the grid adds an extra note of exclusivity to the front. Within the headlights, family-friendly lighting technology from the M8 GTE endurance model provides a dynamic and hexagonal interpretation of the BMW's four-sided front end, distilling the elements of modern motor sport and luxury in interior details. At the same time, carbon fiber reinforced plastic air intakes (CFRP) guide the air where it is needed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Even when viewed from a distance, the proportions of the BMW M8 Gran Coupé radiate dynamic character. The long wheelbase, the long hood, the straight edge of the roof and the short rear create a stylish sporty and stylish coupé. The emotionally rich surface reaches a climax in the shoulders around the C-pillars above the rear wheels. Here, the roof runs backwards through elegantly carved wings. Below, the muscular passages of the wheels give a visual expression of the power acting on the rear axle. Light transitions between the surfaces give a certain sensitivity, while the strong sloping of the machine's shoulders combines with the wide gauge to bring added definition and sportiness.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The rear of the BMW M8 Gran Coupé conveys the dynamic momentum and visual impact for which M is renowned, and the wide track width and widening of the wheels refer to the performance of the car. Horizontal lines interrupt styling behind, allowing the area under the rear spoiler to attract even more attention and add extra visual agility. Towards the outer limits, the thin, black-lined hindquarters emphasize the wide posture of the car on the road. Below them, the bumper takes over the dynamic theme of the front apron. The prominent speaker and the two sets of M double exhaust pipes together deliver a clear absolute performance message.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It always traces back to the <b>Occult</b>. Every winding rabbit trail one might start crawling through in connection to the current globalist agenda. It always leads back to the same inspiration, from the <b><span style="color: #990000;">demonic realm</span></b>. Ironically, the concept of "<b><span style="color: #741b47;">consciousness shaping reality</span></b>" is no less an Occult teaching than anything else from Theosophy or Freemasonry etc.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In antiquity, <b><span style="color: #134f5c;">Pythagoras</span></b> was credited with many mathematical and scientific discoveries, including the <b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Pythagorean theorem, Pythagorean tuning, the five regular solids, the Theory of Proportions, the sphericity of the Earth, and the identity of the morning and evening stars as the planet Venus</span></b>. It was said that he was the first man to call himself a philosopher ("<b><span style="color: #990000;">lover of wisdom</span></b>") and that he was the first to divide the globe into five climatic zones. Classical historians debate whether Pythagoras made these discoveries, and many of the accomplishments credited to him likely originated earlier or were made by his colleagues or successors. Some accounts mention that the philosophy associated with Pythagoras was related to mathematics and that numbers were important, but it is debated to what extent, if at all, he actually contributed to mathematics or natural philosophy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Pythagoras influenced Plato, whose dialogues, especially his Timaeus, exhibit Pythagorean teachings. Pythagorean ideas about mathematical perfection also impacted ancient Greek art. His teachings underwent a major revival in the first century BC among Middle Platonists, coinciding with the rise of Neopythagoreanism. Pythagoras continued to be regarded as a great philosopher throughout the Middle Ages and his philosophy had a major impact on scientists such as <b>Nicolaus Copernicus</b>, <b><span style="color: #134f5c;">Johannes Kepler</span></b>, and <b><span style="color: #741b47;">Isaac Newton</span></b>. Pythagorean symbolism was used throughout early modern European esotericism and his teachings as portrayed in Ovid's Metamorphoses influenced the growth of the vegetarian movement.</span><br />

In his philosophical dialogue Protrepticus, Aristotle has his literary double say:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i><b>When Pythagoras was asked [why humans exist], he said, "to observe the heavens," and he used to claim that he himself was an observer of nature, and it was for the sake of this that he had passed over into life.</b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Pythagoras was said to have practised divination and prophecy. In the visits to various places in Greece—Delos, Sparta, Phlius, Crete, etc.—which are ascribed to him, he usually appears either in his religious or priestly guise, or else as a lawgiver.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">25 December 1642 – 20 March 1726/27) was an English mathematician, astronomer, theologian, author and physicist (described in his own day as a "<b><span style="color: #741b47;">natural philosopher</span></b>") who is <b><span style="color: #134f5c;">widely recognised as one of the most influential scientists of all time</span></b>, and a key figure in the scientific revolution. His book Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica ("<b><span style="color: #990000;">Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy</span></b>"), first published in 1687, laid the foundations of classical mechanics. Newton also made pathbreaking contributions to optics, and he shares credit with Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz for developing the infinitesimal calculus.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Newton's Principia formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation that dominated scientists' view of the physical universe for the next three centuries. By deriving Kepler's laws of planetary motion from his mathematical description of gravity, and using the same principles to account for the trajectories of comets, the tides, the precession of the equinoxes, and other phenomena, Newton removed the last doubts about the validity of the heliocentric model of the Solar System and demonstrated that the motion of objects on Earth and of celestial bodies could be accounted for by the same principles. Newton's theoretical prediction that the <b><span style="color: #134f5c;">Earth is shaped as an oblate spheroid was later vindicated by the geodetic measurements of Maupertuis, La Condamine, and others</span></b>, thus convincing most Continental European scientists of the superiority of Newtonian mechanics over the earlier system of Descartes.</span><br />

Newton's work on light was collected in his highly influential book <b><span style="color: #741b47;">Opticks</span></b>, first published in 1704. He also formulated an empirical law of cooling, made the first theoretical calculation of the speed of sound, and introduced the notion of a Newtonian fluid. In addition to his work on calculus, as a mathematician <b><span style="color: #b45f06;">Newton contributed to the study of power series, generalised the binomial theorem to non-integer exponents, developed a method for approximating the roots of a function, and classified most of the cubic plane curves.</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Newton was a fellow of Trinity College and the second Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge. He was a devout but unorthodox Christian, who privately rejected the doctrine of the Trinity and who, unusually for a member of the Cambridge faculty of the day, refused to take holy orders in the Church of England. Beyond his work on the mathematical sciences, Newton dedicated much of his time to the study of alchemy and biblical chronology, but most of his work in those areas remained unpublished until long after his death. Politically and personally tied to the Whig party, Newton served two brief terms as Member of Parliament for the University of Cambridge, in 1689–90 and 1701–02. He was knighted by Queen Anne in 1705 and he spent the last three decades of his life in London, serving as Warden (1696–1700) and <b><span style="color: #990000;">Master (1700–1727) of the Royal Mint, as well as president of the Royal Society</span></b> (1703–1727).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">January 17, 1706 [O.S. January 6, 1705] – April 17, 1790) was an American polymath and one of the <b><span style="color: #134f5c;">Founding Fathers of the United States</span></b>. Franklin was a <i><span style="color: #351c75;"><b>leading author, printer, political theorist, politician, freemason, postmaster, scientist, inventor, humorist, civic activist, statesman, and diplomat</b></span></i>. As a scientist, he was a major figure in the American Enlightenment and the history of physics for his discoveries and theories regarding electricity. As an inventor, he is known for the lightning rod, bifocals, and the Franklin stove, among other inventions. He founded many civic organizations, including Philadelphia's fire department and the University of Pennsylvania.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Franklin earned the title of "<b><span style="color: #990000;">The First American</span></b>" for his early and indefatigable campaigning for colonial unity, initially as an author and spokesman in London for several colonies. As the first United States Ambassador to France, he exemplified the emerging American nation. Franklin was foundational in defining the American ethos as a marriage of the practical values of thrift, hard work, education, community spirit, self-governing institutions, and opposition to authoritarianism both political and religious, with the scientific and tolerant values of the Enlightenment. In the words of historian Henry Steele Commager, "<b><span style="color: #741b47;">In a Franklin could be merged the virtues of Puritanism without its defects, the illumination of the Enlightenment without its heat.</span></b>" To Walter Isaacson, this makes Franklin "the most accomplished American of his age and the most influential in inventing the type of society America would become."</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Franklin became a successful newspaper editor and printer in Philadelphia, the leading city in the colonies, publishing the Pennsylvania Gazette at the age of 23. He became wealthy publishing this and <b><span style="color: #134f5c;">Poor Richard's Almanack</span></b>, which he authored under the pseudonym "Richard Saunders". After 1767, he was associated with the Pennsylvania Chronicle, a newspaper that was known for its revolutionary sentiments and criticisms of British policies.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He pioneered and was first president of Academy and College of Philadelphia which opened in 1751 and later became the University of Pennsylvania. He organized and was the first secretary of the American Philosophical Society and was elected president in 1769. Franklin became a national hero in America as an agent for several colonies when he spearheaded an effort in London to have the Parliament of Great Britain repeal the unpopular Stamp Act. An accomplished diplomat, he was widely admired among the French as American minister to Paris and was a major figure in the development of positive Franco-American relations. His efforts proved vital for the American Revolution in securing shipments of crucial munitions from France.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He was promoted to deputy postmaster-general for the British colonies in 1753, having been Philadelphia postmaster for many years, and this enabled him to set up the first national communications network. During the Revolution, he became the first United States Postmaster General. He was active in community affairs and colonial and state politics, as well as national and international affairs. From 1785 to 1788, he served as governor of Pennsylvania. <b><span style="color: #b45f06;">He initially owned and dealt in slaves but, by the 1750s, he argued against slavery from an economic perspective and became one of the most prominent abolitionists.</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">His colorful life and legacy of scientific and political achievement, and his status as one of America's most influential Founding Fathers, have seen Franklin honored more than two centuries after his death on coinage and the <b><span style="color: #274e13;">$100 bill</span></b>, warships, and the names of many towns, counties, educational institutions, and corporations, as well as countless cultural references.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #990000;">Benjamin Franklin was part of Hellfire Club</span></b>. Hellfire Club was a name for several exclusive clubs for high society rakes established in Britain and Ireland in the 18th century. The name is most commonly used to refer to Sir Francis Dashwood's Order of the Friars of St. Francis of Wycombe. Such clubs were rumoured to be the meeting places of "persons of quality" who wished to take part in socially perceived immoral acts, and the members were often involved in politics. Neither the activities nor membership of the club are easy to ascertain, for the clubs were rumoured to have distant ties to an elite society known only as The Order of the Second Circle.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">(14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist who developed the <b><span style="color: #741b47;">theory of relativity</span></b>, one of the two pillars of modern physics (alongside <b><span style="color: #990000;">quantum mechanics</span></b>). His work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science. He is best known to the general public for his mass–energy equivalence formula<b><span style="color: #990000;"> <a href="https://www.msidelicious.com/2018/03/string-theory-explained-what-is-true.html" target="_blank">E = mc2</a></span></b>, which has been dubbed "<b><span style="color: #134f5c;">the world's most famous equation</span></b>". He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of <b><span style="color: #134f5c;">the law of the photoelectric effect</span></b>", a pivotal step in the development of quantum theory.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Near the beginning of his career, <b><span style="color: #351c75;"><i>Einstein thought that Newtonian mechanics was no longer enough to reconcile the laws of classical mechanics with the laws of the electromagnetic field</i></span></b>. This led him to develop his special theory of relativity during his time at the Swiss Patent Office in Bern (1902–1909), Switzerland. However, he realized that the principle of relativity could also be extended to gravitational fields, and he published a paper on general relativity in 1916 with his theory of gravitation. He continued to deal with problems of statistical mechanics and quantum theory, which led to his explanations of particle theory and the motion of molecules. He also investigated the thermal properties of light which laid the foundation of the photon theory of light. In 1917, he applied the general theory of relativity to model the structure of the universe.</span><br />

He taught theoretical physics there between 1912 and 1914 before he left for Berlin. He acquired Swiss citizenship in 1901, after being stateless for more than five years, which he kept for the rest of his life. In 1905, he was awarded a <b>PhD by the University of Zürich</b>. <b><span style="color: #741b47;">The same year, he published four groundbreaking papers which brought him to the notice of the academic world at the age of 26.</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He was visiting the <b><span style="color: #134f5c;">United States when Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933 and he did not go back to Germany</span></b>, where he had been a professor at the Berlin Academy of Sciences. He settled in the United States and became an American citizen in 1940. On the eve of World War II, he endorsed a letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt alerting him to the potential development of "extremely powerful bombs of a new type" and recommending that the US begin similar research. This eventually led to the Manhattan Project. Einstein supported the Allied forces, but he generally denounced the idea of using nuclear fission as a weapon. He signed the Russell–Einstein Manifesto with British philosopher Bertrand Russell, which highlighted the danger of nuclear weapons. He was affiliated with the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey until his death in 1955.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Einstein published more than 300 scientific papers and more than 150 non-scientific works. His intellectual achievements and originality have made the word "<b><span style="color: #990000;">Einstein</span></b>" synonymous with "<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">genius</span></b>"</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Robots can be <b><span style="color: #134f5c;">autonomous</span></b> or <b><span style="color: #741b47;">semi-autonomous</span></b> and range from humanoids such as Honda's Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility (ASIMO) and TOSY's TOSY Ping Pong Playing Robot (TOPIO) to industrial robots, medical operating robots, patient assist robots, dog therapy robots, collectively programmed swarm robots, UAV drones such as General Atomics MQ-1 Predator, and even microscopic nano robots. By mimicking a lifelike appearance or automating movements, a robot may convey a sense of intelligence or thought of its own. Autonomous Things are <b><span style="color: #0b5394;">expected to proliferate in the coming decade</span></b>, with home robotics and the autonomous car as some of the main drivers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots, as well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing is <b><span style="color: #741b47;">robotics</span></b>. These technologies deal with automated machines that can take the place of humans in dangerous environments or manufacturing processes, or resemble humans in appearance, behavior, or cognition. Many of today's robots are inspired by nature contributing to the field of bio-inspired robotics. These robots have also created a newer branch of robotics: soft robotics.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">From the time of ancient civilization there have been many accounts of user-configurable automated devices and even automata resembling animals and humans, designed primarily as entertainment. As mechanical techniques developed through the Industrial age, there appeared more practical applications such as automated machines, remote-control and wireless remote-control.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The term comes from a Czech word, <b><span style="color: #741b47;">robota</span></b>, meaning "<b><span style="color: #134f5c;">forced labor</span></b>"; the word 'robot' was first used to denote a fictional humanoid in a 1920 play R.U.R. by the Czech writer, Karel Čapek but it was Karel's brother Josef Čapek who was the word's true inventor. Electronics evolved into the driving force of development with the advent of the first electronic autonomous robots created by William Grey Walter in Bristol, England in 1948, as well as Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine tools in the late 1940s by John T. Parsons and Frank L. Stulen. The first commercial, digital and programmable robot was built by George Devol in 1954 and was named the Unimate. It was sold to General Motors in 1961 where it was used to lift pieces of hot metal from die casting machines at the Inland Fisher Guide Plant in the West Trenton section of Ewing Township, New Jersey.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Robots</b> have replaced humans in <b><span style="color: #134f5c;">performing repetitive and dangerous tasks which humans prefer not to do</span></b>, or are unable to do because of size limitations, or which take place in extreme environments such as outer space or the bottom of the sea. There are concerns about the increasing use of robots and their role in society. Robots are blamed for rising technological unemployment as they replace workers in increasing numbers of functions. The use of robots in military combat raises ethical concerns. The possibilities of robot autonomy and potential repercussions have been addressed in fiction and may be a <b><span style="color: #990000;">realistic concern in the future</span></b>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As robots have become more advanced and sophisticated, experts and academics have increasingly explored the questions of what ethics might govern robots' behavior, and whether robots might be able to claim any kind of social, cultural, ethical or legal rights. One scientific team has said that it is possible that a <b><span style="color: #741b47;">robot brain</span></b> will exist by 2019. Others predict robot intelligence breakthroughs by 2050. Recent advances have made robotic behavior more sophisticated. The social impact of intelligent robots is subject of a documentary film called Plug & Pray.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Vernor Vinge has suggested that a moment may come when computers and robots are smarter than humans. He calls this "<b><span style="color: #134f5c;">the <a href="https://www.msidelicious.com/2017/12/demonetizing-everything-post-capitalism.html" target="_blank">Singularity</a></span></b>". He suggests that it may be somewhat or possibly very dangerous for humans. This is discussed by a philosophy called Singularitarianism.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In 2009, experts attended a conference hosted by the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) to <b>discuss whether computers and robots might be able to acquire any autonomy, and how much these abilities might pose a threat or hazard</b>. They noted that some robots have acquired various forms of <b><span style="color: #990000;">semi-autonomy</span></b>, including being able to find power sources on their own and being able to independently choose targets to attack with weapons. They also noted that some computer viruses can evade elimination and have achieved "<b><span style="color: #134f5c;">cockroach intelligence</span></b>." They noted that self-awareness as depicted in science-fiction is probably unlikely, but that there were other potential hazards and pitfalls. Various media sources and scientific groups have noted separate trends in differing areas which might together result in greater robotic functionalities and autonomy, and which pose some inherent concerns. In 2015, the Nao alderen robots were shown to have a capability for a degree of self-awareness. Researchers at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute AI and Reasoning Lab in New York conducted an experiment where a <b><span style="color: #38761d;">robot became aware of </span></b><b><span style="color: #38761d;">itself</span></b>, and corrected its answer to a question once it had realised this.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For centuries, people have predicted that machines would make workers obsolete and increase unemployment, although the causes of unemployment are usually thought to be due to social policy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A recent example of human replacement involves Taiwanese technology company Foxconn who, in July 2011, announced a three-year plan to replace workers with more robots. <b><span style="color: #134f5c;">At present the company uses ten thousand robots but will increase them to a million robots over a three-year period</span></b>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Lawyers have speculated that an increased prevalence of robots in the workplace could lead to the need to improve redundancy laws.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Kevin J. Delaney said "Robots are taking human jobs. But Bill Gates believes that governments should tax companies’ use of them, as a way to at least temporarily slow the spread of automation and to fund other types of employment." The robot tax would also help pay a guaranteed living wage to the displaced workers.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">At present, there are two main types of robots, based on their use: general-purpose <b><span style="color: #134f5c;">autonomous robots</span></b> and <b><span style="color: #741b47;">dedicated robots</span></b>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Robots can be classified by their specificity of purpose. A robot might be designed to perform one particular task extremely well, or a range of tasks less well. All robots by their nature can be re-programmed to behave differently, but some are limited by their physical form. For example, a factory robot arm can perform jobs such as cutting, welding, gluing, or acting as a fairground ride, while a pick-and-place robot can only populate printed circuit boards.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">General-purpose autonomous robots can perform a variety of functions independently. General-purpose autonomous robots typically can navigate independently in known spaces, handle their own re-charging needs, interface with electronic doors and elevators and perform other basic tasks. Like computers, general-purpose robots can link with networks, software and accessories that increase their usefulness. They may recognize people or objects, talk, provide companionship, monitor environmental quality, respond to alarms, pick up supplies and perform other useful tasks. General-purpose robots may perform a variety of functions simultaneously or they may take on different roles at different times of day. Some such robots try to mimic human beings and may even resemble people in appearance; this type of robot is called a humanoid robot. Humanoid robots are still in a very limited stage, as no humanoid robot can, as of yet, actually navigate around a room that it has never been in. Thus, humanoid robots are really quite limited, despite their intelligent behaviors in their well-known environments.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">On distance scales larger than the string scale, a string looks just like an ordinary particle, with its mass, charge, and other properties determined by the vibrational state of the string. In string theory, one of the many vibrational states of the string corresponds to the graviton, a quantum mechanical particle that carries gravitational force. Thus string theory is a theory of quantum gravity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">String theory is a broad and varied subject that attempts to address a number of deep questions of fundamental physics. String theory has been applied to a variety of problems in black hole physics, early universe cosmology, nuclear physics, and condensed matter physics, and it has stimulated a number of major developments in pure mathematics. Because string theory potentially provides a unified description of gravity and particle physics, it is a candidate for a theory of everything, a self-contained mathematical model that describes all fundamental forces and forms of matter. Despite much work on these problems, it is not known to what extent string theory describes the real world or how much freedom the theory allows in the choice of its details.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">String theory was first studied in the late 1960s as a theory of the strong nuclear force, before being abandoned in favor of quantum chromodynamics. Subsequently, it was realized that the very properties that made string theory unsuitable as a theory of nuclear physics made it a promising candidate for a quantum theory of gravity. The earliest version of string theory, bosonic string theory, incorporated only the class of particles known as bosons. It later developed into superstring theory, which posits a connection called supersymmetry between bosons and the class of particles called fermions. Five consistent versions of superstring theory were developed before it was conjectured in the mid-1990s that they were all different limiting cases of a single theory in eleven dimensions known as M-theory. In late 1997, theorists discovered an important relationship called the AdS/CFT correspondence, which relates string theory to another type of physical theory called a quantum field theory.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One of the challenges of string theory is that the full theory does not have a satisfactory definition in all circumstances. Another issue is that the theory is thought to describe an enormous landscape of possible universes, and this has complicated efforts to develop theories of particle physics based on string theory. These issues have led some in the community to criticize these approaches to physics and question the value of continued research on string theory unification.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In the twentieth century, two theoretical frameworks emerged for formulating the laws of physics. The first is Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity, a theory that explains the force of gravity and the structure of space and time. The other is quantum mechanics which is a completely different formulation to describe physical phenomena using the known probability principles. By the late 1970s, these two frameworks had proven to be sufficient to explain most of the observed features of the universe, from elementary particles to atoms to the evolution of stars and the universe as a whole.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In spite of these successes, there are still many problems that remain to be solved. One of the deepest problems in modern physics is the problem of quantum gravity. The general theory of relativity is formulated within the framework of classical physics, whereas the other fundamental forces are described within the framework of quantum mechanics. A quantum theory of gravity is needed in order to reconcile general relativity with the principles of quantum mechanics, but difficulties arise when one attempts to apply the usual prescriptions of quantum theory to the force of gravity. In addition to the problem of developing a consistent theory of quantum gravity, there are many other fundamental problems in the physics of atomic nuclei, black holes, and the early universe.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">String theory is a theoretical framework that attempts to address these questions and many others. The starting point for string theory is the idea that the point-like particles of particle physics can also be modeled as one-dimensional objects called strings. String theory describes how strings propagate through space and interact with each other. In a given version of string theory, there is only one kind of string, which may look like a small loop or segment of ordinary string, and it can vibrate in different ways. On distance scales larger than the string scale, a string will look just like an ordinary particle, with its mass, charge, and other properties determined by the vibrational state of the string. In this way, all of the different elementary particles may be viewed as vibrating strings. In string theory, one of the vibrational states of the string gives rise to the graviton, a quantum mechanical particle that carries gravitational force. Thus string theory is a theory of quantum gravity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One of the main developments of the past several decades in string theory was the discovery of certain "dualities", mathematical transformations that identify one physical theory with another. Physicists studying string theory have discovered a number of these dualities between different versions of string theory, and this has led to the conjecture that all consistent versions of string theory are subsumed in a single framework known as M-theory.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Studies of string theory have also yielded a number of results on the nature of black holes and the gravitational interaction. There are certain paradoxes that arise when one attempts to understand the quantum aspects of black holes, and work on string theory has attempted to clarify these issues. In late 1997 this line of work culminated in the discovery of the anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory correspondence or AdS/CFT. This is a theoretical result which relates string theory to other physical theories which are better understood theoretically. The AdS/CFT correspondence has implications for the study of black holes and quantum gravity, and it has been applied to other subjects, including nuclear and condensed matter physics.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Since string theory incorporates all of the fundamental interactions, including gravity, many physicists hope that it fully describes our universe, making it a theory of everything. One of the goals of current research in string theory is to find a solution of the theory that reproduces the observed spectrum of elementary particles, with a small cosmological constant, containing dark matter and a plausible mechanism for cosmic inflation. While there has been progress toward these goals, it is not known to what extent string theory describes the real world or how much freedom the theory allows in the choice of details.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One of the challenges of string theory is that the full theory does not have a satisfactory definition in all circumstances. The scattering of strings is most straightforwardly defined using the techniques of perturbation theory, but it is not known in general how to define string theory nonperturbatively. It is also not clear whether there is any principle by which string theory selects its vacuum state, the physical state that determines the properties of our universe. These problems have led some in the community to criticize these approaches to the unification of physics and question the value of continued research on these problems.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The application of quantum mechanics to physical objects such as the electromagnetic field, which are extended in space and time, is known as quantum field theory. In particle physics, quantum field theories form the basis for our understanding of elementary particles, which are modeled as excitations in the fundamental fields. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In quantum field theory, one typically computes the probabilities of various physical events using the techniques of perturbation theory. Developed by Richard Feynman and others in the first half of the twentieth century, perturbative quantum field theory uses special diagrams called Feynman diagrams to organize computations. One imagines that these diagrams depict the paths of point-like particles and their interactions. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="background: white; line-height: inherit; margin: 6pt 0cm;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The starting point for string theory is the idea that the point-like particles of quantum field theory can also be modeled as one-dimensional objects called strings. The interaction of strings is most straightforwardly defined by generalizing the perturbation theory used in ordinary quantum field theory. At the level of Feynman diagrams, this means replacing the one-dimensional diagram representing the path of a point particle by a two-dimensional surface representing the motion of a string. Unlike in quantum field theory, string theory does not have a full non-perturbative definition, so many of the theoretical questions that physicists would like to answer remain out of reach. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Homeopathy is a <a href="http://www.msidelicious.com/2017/10/the-hidden-meanings-of-yin-and-yang.html" target="_blank">pseudoscience</a> – a belief that is <b><span style="color: #0b5394;">incorrectly presented as scientific</span></b>. Homeopathic preparations are not effective for treating any condition; large-scale studies have found <b><span style="color: #990000;">homeopathy to be no more effective than a placebo</span></b>, indicating that any positive effects that follow treatment are only due to the placebo effect, normal recovery from illness, or regression toward the mean.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hahnemann believed the underlying causes of disease were phenomena that he termed miasms, and that homeopathic preparations addressed these. The preparations are manufactured using a process of homeopathic dilution, in which a chosen substance is repeatedly diluted in alcohol or distilled water, each time with the containing vessel being bashed against an elastic material, commonly a leather-bound book. <b><span style="color: #274e13;">Dilution typically continues well past the point where no molecules of the original substance remain</span></b>. Homeopaths select homeopathics by consulting reference books known as repertories, and by considering the totality of the patient's symptoms, personal traits, physical and psychological state, and life history.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Homeopathy is not a plausible system of treatment, as its dogmas about how drugs, illness, the human body, liquids and solutions operate are <b><span style="color: #990000;">contradicted</span></b> by a wide range of discoveries across biology, psychology, physics and chemistry made in the two centuries since its invention. Although some clinical trials produce positive results, multiple systematic reviews have indicated that this is because of chance, flawed research methods, and reporting bias. Homeopathic practice has been <b><span style="color: #741b47;">criticized as unethical because it discourages the use of effective treatments</span></b>, with the World Health Organization warning against using homeopathy to try to treat severe diseases such as HIV and malaria. The continued practice of homeopathy, despite a lack of evidence of efficacy, has led to it being characterized within the scientific and medical communities as nonsense, quackery, and a sham.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">According to <b><span style="color: #134f5c;">Paul Ulrich</span></b> Unschuld, the Nazi regime in Germany was fascinated by homeopathy, and spent large sums of money on researching its mechanisms, but <b><span style="color: #351c75;">without gaining a positive result</span></b>. Unschuld further argues that homeopathy never subsequently took root in the United States, but remained more deeply established in European thinking. In the United States, the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938 (sponsored by Royal Copeland, a Senator from New York and homeopathic physician) recognized homeopathic preparations as drugs. In the 1950s, there were only <b><span style="color: #274e13;">75</span></b> pure homeopaths practising in the U.S. However, by the mid to late 1970s, homeopathy made a significant comeback and sales of some homeopathic companies increased tenfold. Some homeopaths give credit for the revival to Greek homeopath George Vithoulkas, who performed a "great deal of research to update the scenarios and refine the theories and practice of homeopathy", beginning in the 1970s, but Ernst and Singh consider it to be linked to the rise of the <b>New Age movement</b>. Whichever is correct, mainstream pharmacy chains recognized the business potential of selling homeopathic preparations. The Food and Drug Administration held a hearing April 20 and 21, 2015, requesting public comment on regulation of homeopathic drugs. The FDA cited the growth of sales of over-the-counter homeopathic medicines, which was $2.7 billion for 2007.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Swiss programme for the evaluation of complementary medicine (PEK) resulted in the peer-reviewed Shang publication (see Systematic reviews and meta-analyses of efficacy) and a controversial competing analysis by homeopaths and <b><span style="color: #990000;">advocates led by Gudrun Bornhöft and Peter Matthiessen, which has misleadingly been presented as a Swiss government report</span></b> by homeopathy proponents, a claim that has been repudiated by the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The United Kingdom's House of Commons Science and Technology Committee sought written evidence and submissions from concerned parties and, following a review of all submissions, concluded that <b><span style="color: #0b5394;">there was no compelling evidence of effect other than placebo</span></b> and recommended that the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) should not allow homeopathic product labels to make medical claims, that homeopathic products should no longer be licensed by the MHRA, as they are not medicines, and that further clinical trials of homeopathy could not be justified. They recommended that funding of homeopathic hospitals should not continue, and NHS doctors should not refer patients to homeopaths. The Secretary of State for Health deferred to local NHS on funding homeopathy, in the name of patient choice. By February 2011 only one-third of primary care trusts still funded homeopathy. By 2012, no British universities offered homeopathy courses. In July 2017, as part of a plan to save £200m a year by preventing the "misuse of scarce" funding, the NHS announced that it would no longer provide homeopathic medicines.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The human digestive system consists of the gastrointestinal tract plus the accessory organs of digestion (the <b><span style="color: #0b5394;">tongue, salivary glands, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder</span></b>). In this system, the process of digestion has many stages, the first of which starts in the mouth. Digestion involves the breakdown of food into smaller and smaller components, until they can be absorbed and assimilated into the body.<br /><br /><br />Chewing, in which food is mixed with <b><span style="color: #bf9000;">saliva</span></b> begins the process of <b>digestion</b>. This produces a bolus which can be swallowed down the esophagus and into the stomach. Here it is mixed with gastric juice until it passes into the duodenum where it is mixed with a number of enzymes produced by the pancreas. Saliva also contains a catalytic enzyme called amylase which starts to act on food in the mouth. Another digestive enzyme called lingual lipase is secreted by some of the lingual papillae on the tongue and also from serous glands in the main salivary glands. <b>Digestion</b> is helped by the mastication of food by the teeth and also by the muscular actions of peristalsis and segmentation contractions. Gastric juice in the stomach is essential for the continuation of digestion as is the production of mucus in the stomach.</span><div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Peristalsis</b> is the rhythmic contraction of muscles that begins in the esophagus and continues along the wall of the stomach and the rest of the gastrointestinal tract. This initially results in the production of chyme which when fully broken down in the small intestine is absorbed as chyle into the lymphatic system. Most of the digestion of food takes place in the <b><span style="color: #741b47;">small intestine</span></b>. Water and some minerals are reabsorbed back into the blood in the colon of the large intestine. The waste products of digestion (feces) are defecated from the anus via the rectum.</span><div>

Mouth diseases can also be caused by pathogenic bacteria, viruses, fungi and as a side effect of some medications. Mouth diseases include tongue diseases and salivary gland diseases. A common gum disease in the mouth is gingivitis which is caused by bacteria in plaque. The most common viral infection of the mouth is gingivostomatitis caused by herpes simplex. A common fungal infection is <b class="gr-progress">candidiasis</b> commonly known as <b>thrush</b> which affects the mucous membranes of the mouth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Malabsorption can have many causes ranging from infection, to enzyme deficiencies such as exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. It can also arise as a result of other gastrointestinal diseases such as coeliac disease. Coeliac disease is an autoimmune disorder of the small intestine. This can cause vitamin deficiencies due to the improper absorption of nutrients in the small intestine. The small intestine can also be obstructed by a volvulus, a loop of intestine that becomes twisted enclosing its attached mesentery. This can cause mesenteric ischemia if severe enough.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
