Post-rock
|
Post-rock is a type of experimental rock music. It focuses more on making different tones and musical textures than other rock music does. Many post-rock musicians are instrumental. The genre came from indie music communities in the 1980s and 1990s. A lot of post-rock music is inspired by ambient, jazz, and electronic music.
The bands Talk Talk and Slint made some of the first post-rock songs. The word "post-rock" came from a review of an album by Bark Psychosis in 1994. The word has been used to describe many bands with different styles. Many musicians do not like this, because it makes it harder to define what post-rock is.
Sound.
Post-rock is inspired by many genres of music, such as krautrock, jazz, math rock, and avant-garde music. Many post-rock songs are long, and slowly build up the dynamics and timbre of the music. Many post-rock songs do not have any vocals in them, but some do.
Vocals in post-rock are often used to create sounds instead of sing lyrics. Sigur Rós, a post-rock band known for their vocals, made up their own language for their music. They use the language to make sounds that are "gibberish" but fit "the music".

Puente Colgante de Santa Fe
|
The Ingeniero Marcial Candioti Bridge, better known as the Santa Fe Suspension Bridge (), is a suspension bridge in the city of Santa Fe, Santa Fe Province, Argentina. It goes across the Setúbal lagoon. It connects the west coast of the lagoon to the east coast of the lagoon. It is also a symbol of the
city of Santa Fe and a symbol of its people. It has a long history that includes an almost total collapse in 1983 and its restoration after twenty years.
It was originally made to take water from the Colastiné neighborhood and to connect the city with the Universidad Nacional del Litoral and the El Pozo neighborhood, among other places. The bridge is now a tourist attraction. As a landmark and monument in Santa Fe, it is a meeting point for celebrations, social gatherings and festivities. It has inspired poets, artists, photographers and documentaries.
Collapse.
After standing for 55 years, one of its pillars collapsed on September 28, 1983 because of a strong flood that had lasted several months. It was a surprise to everyone, and many photos and videos from the neighbors and journalists of that time show a slow fall. The east antenna collapsed at 4:35 p.m., keeping only half of the structure standing. The Santa Fe newspaper "El Litoral" published that day, “A goodbye that wants to be see you later". Part of the bridge sank into the Setúbal lagoon and was recovered in 1984. The bridge was not rebuilt until 20 years later.
The administration of the then governor José María Vernet was associated with the image of the fallen bridge. First, due to the interventions of man in the flood valley, caused by the occupation of the river land by buildings, and the mismanagement of dredging.
Second, due to the scandal that produced the verification of irregularities in the sale of parts of the suspension bridge. The recovered material was taken to the city port, where it was left in the custody of the provincial government. Months later, that material was sold for scrap.
Reconstruction.
The reconstruction of the bridge was wanted by most of the people of Santa Fe, since it had always been a source of pride for the city.
The works began in April 2000 by the company "CCI Construcciones" and an attempt was made to largely respect the original structure of the 1920s. This is clear, for example, in the inclusion of a pipe that does not fulfill any function, but that it did in its first construction.
The bridge, once rebuilt, preserved the original elements, integrating them with the new ones and contrasting them, without breaking the visual unity of the work. This new bridge preserves the original west antenna, assembled in 1924. The new antenna was built in the city of Esperanza, by the Ferma company.
It arrived in Santa Fe at the end of April 2001 and was assembled with a gigantic crane on July 6 of that year. It differs from the old antenna in that it lacks rivets, and its joints are made by welding. It reopened in September 2002.
New lights for the bridge.
On May 25, 2017, the work of the new lighting of the bridge was inaugurated, the sodium lamps were replaced by LED lighting integrated with Philips Color Kinetics technology, which allow 1,600,000 light possibilities, which required an investment of $23 million of Argentinian pesos. It has 320 artifacts in linear form and 104 devices and projectors to illuminate the towers, it also contains programmable controllers that allow lighting scenes to be generated.

It was previously known as Rastyapino (until 1929).
History.
It was first mentioned in 1606 as Rastyapino (). It is now named after Felix Dzerzhinsky. Dzerzhinsky was a Bolshevik leader who was the first leader of the Soviet Cheka (secret police).
Chemical weapons and other production.
Dzerzhinsk is a large center of the Russian chemical production industry. In the past, the city was also one of Russia's main areas for the making of chemical weapons. Because of its strategic importance, the city was, until recently, officially closed to foreign visitors.
The making of chemical weapons started in 1941. It was mainly focused on the making of lewisite and yperite (mustard gas). The factory producing these substances was named the "Kaprolactam" (or "Caprolaktam") Organic Glass Factory. It also made prussic acid and phosgene.
The making of chemical weapons at Dzerzhinsk stopped in 1965. Some materials were moved to storage areas. Lots of waste material was buried in dumps at the site of the factory. The yperite facility was destroyed in 1994. As of 1998, the lewisite production area was still not completely destroyed.
, Dzerzhinsk had 38 large industrial enterprises, which export their goods worldwide. About one thousand types of chemical products are made in Dzerzhinsk.

National University of the Littoral
|
The National University of the Littoral (, UNL) is a public university in Argentina. It is based in Santa Fe, the capital of Santa Fe Province.
The university is the result of great works by governors and legislators of the province and the mobilization of students and all the citizens of Santa Fe. It was born as a regional university, since it included schools and institutes located in the cities of Santa Fe, Paraná, Rosario and Corrientes. Their creation had novel features because it included Faculties and schools located in different cities of the region.
The first Faculties were Law and Industrial and Agricultural Chemistry.
History.
It was established as the "Universidad Provincial de Santa Fe" (Provincial University of Santa Fe) in 1889. The Argentine university reform of 1918 brought modernization and democratization to higher education in Argentina. The university was made the following year by a national law signed on October 17. They becane the first regional university in the country, with influence over the Argentine Littoral (Santa Fe and the Mesopotamic provinces of Entre Ríos and Corrientes).

Boundary value problem
|
In mathematics, a boundary value problem is a problem to solve a set of differential equations. In addition, there are a set of constraints which are called the boundary constraints. A solution must both solve the differential equations, and the boundary constraints.
Boundary value problems are common in many fields of science.
Boundary value problems can be found in several branches of physics as any physical differential equation will have them. Problems involving the wave equation, for example the determination of normal modes, are often stated as boundary value problems. A large class of important boundary value problems are the Sturm–Liouville problems. The analysis of these problems involves the eigenfunctions of a differential operator.
To be useful in applications, a boundary value problem should be well posed. This means that given the input to the problem there exists a unique solution, which depends continuously on the input. Much theoretical work in the field of partial differential equations is devoted to proving that boundary value problems arising from scientific and engineering applications are in fact well-posed.
Among the earliest boundary value problems to be studied is the Dirichlet problem, of finding the harmonic functions (solutions to Laplace's equation); the solution was given by the Dirichlet's principle.

Difference of two squares
|
In mathematics, the difference of two squares is a squared (multiplied by itself) number subtracted from another squared number. Every difference of squares may be factored according to the identity
in elementary algebra.
Proof.
Starting from the left-hand side, use the distributive law to get
By the commutative law, the middle two terms cancel:
leaving
The result is one of the most commonly used identities in mathematics. Among other many uses, it gives simple proof of the AM–GM inequality in two variables.
The proof holds in any commutative ring.
However, if this identity holds in a ring "R" for all pairs of elements "a" and "b". This means "R" is commutative. To see this, use the distributive law on the right-hand side of the equation and get
For this equation to be equal to formula_6, we must have
for all pairs "a", and "b". So that "R" is commutative.

Vanilla ice cream
|
Vanilla is a common flavor in ice cream, especially in North America and other countries. Vanilla ice cream was originally made by cooling a mixture of cream, sugar, and vanilla above a container of ice and salt. The type of vanilla used to give the flavour to the ice cream depends by places. In North America and parts of Europe, people are interested in a more smoky flavor, while in Ireland, an anise flavor is used. To create the smooth texture of ice cream, the mixture is stirred many times and then goes back to the container of ice and salt to continue the process. Many people often consider vanilla to be the normal flavor of ice cream.

X-Seed 4000
|
X-Seed 4000 is a visionary megatall skyscraper.
Size.
Its proposed 4 km height, 6 km wide sea-base, and 800 floors capacity that could fit 500,000 to 1,000,000 people. This structure would have been made using 3 billion kilograms of steel.
Design.
It was designed for Tokyo, Japan. The design was made by the Taisei Corporation in 1995. It was designed as a future-like environment combining ultra-modern and technological living and interaction with wildlife and nature. Methods of transportation within the X-seed would most likely include MagLev trains.
"The X-Seed 4000 'is never meant to be built'." says Georges Binder, managing director of Buildings & Data, a firm which compiles data banks on buildings worldwide. "The purpose of the plan was to earn some identification for the firm, and it worked."
Air pressure.
Unlike other skyscrapers, the X-Seed 4000 would be forced to protect its occupants from large internal/external air pressure effects and weather rising that its great elevation would cause. Its design calls for the use of solar power to keep internal environmental conditions.
Risks.
As the proposed site for the structure is located in the Pacific Ring of Fire, the most active volcano range in the world, the X-Seed 4000 would be weak to earthquakes and tsunamis.
Height comparisons.
A sea-based location and a Mount Fuji shape is some of this building's other major design features. The real Mount Fuji is land-based and is 3,776 metres in height. This is 224 metres shorter than the X-Seed 4000.
X-Seed 4000 is planned to be twice the height of the Shimizu Mega-City Pyramid at 2,004 metres.
The Shimizu Mega-City Pyramid for Tokyo was proposed in 2007. This plan also faces most of the same problems as X-Seed 4000.

Orbit of the Moon
|
The Moon takes 27.3 days (3.9 weeks) to orbit around the Earth. One side of the Moon faces the Earth at all times, so the moon is tidally locked to Earth.
The phases of the Moon come from the position of the Moon relative to the Earth and Sun. If the Moon and Sun are on opposite sides of the Earth, there is a full moon. If they are on the same side of Earth, there is a new moon.
The Moon makes one circle around Earth, called the "sidereal month", in 27.3 days. But in this time, the Earth continues to move forward, so the Moon will be in a different place relative to the Sun, and the phase of the Moon will be different. To reach the same phase, the Moon must travel a bit farther. The time for the Moon to reach the same phase, called the "synodic month", is 29.5 days.
