Nutrition

Nutrition is a knowledge that examines the relationship between diet and strength. Dietitians are health professionals who specialize in this part of study, and are trained to provide safe, evidence-based nutritional advice and interventions.

Deficienciess, excesses and imbalances in diet can produce negative impacts on health, which may lead to diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, scurvy, fatness or osteoporosis, as well as mental and behavioral troubles. Moreover, unnecessary intake of elements that have no perceptible role in health, (e.g. lead, dioxins, mercury, PCBs), may incur toxic and potentially fatal effects, depending on the dosage.

Many familiar diseases and their symptom can often be prevented or alleviated with better nutrition. The science of nutrition attempts to be aware of how and why specific nutritional aspects influence health.

Sport

Sport is a movement that governs by a set of regulations or rules and frequently engaged in competition. Used by itself, sports usually refer to behavior where the physical capability of the participant are the sole or primary determiner of the outcome (winning or losing), but the term is also used to include behavior such as brainpower sports and cruise sports where mental acuity or apparatus quality are major factors. Sports are used as amusement for the player and the viewer. It has also been established by experiments that daily exercise increases mental strength and power to study.

Keeping pace with the latest sports results is a usual appliance for Semotus wireless technology. As individual sports results come in, they are tailored and sent out to users wirelessly and in real-time. Semotus provides both the technology products and the information services to supply organizations to relay sporting and other information. InfoXtra2 delivers up to the minute content from a variety of leading information sources.

Philosophical views about Love

People, all through history, have often well thought-out phenomena like "love at first sight" or "instant friendships" to be the effect of an unmanageable force of attraction or affinity. One of the first to theorize in this way was the Greek philosopher Empedocles, who in the 4th century BC argued for the existence of two forces, love (philia) and strife (neikos), which were hardened to account for the causes of motion in the universe. These two forces were believed to intermingle with the classical elements, i.e., earth, water, air, and fire, in such a way that love served as the binding power involving the different parts of life harmoniously together.

Bertrand Russell explains love as a state of "absolute value", as different to relative value. Thomas Jay Oord describes love as acting intentionally, in sympathetic reply to others (including God), to promote largely well-being. Oord means for his meaning to be adequate for religion, philosophy, and the sciences. Robert A. Heinlein, one of the nearly all prolific science fiction writers of the 20th century, defined love in his novel Stranger in a Strange Land as the point of emotional connection which leads to the pleasure of a new being essential to one's individual well being. This description ignores the ideas of religion and science and in its place focuses on the meaning of love as it relates to the person. Also, an ancient proverb says that love is a high type of tolerance. This view is one that numerous philosophers and scholars have researched, and is broadly accepted.

Intranet

An intranet is a private computer network to use Internet protocols, network connectivity to firmly share part of an organization's information or operations with its employees. Sometimes the word refers only to the mainly visible service, the internal website. The same concepts and technologies of the Internet such as clients and servers running on the Internet protocol suite are used to build an intranet. HTTP and additional Internet protocols are commonly used as well, such as FTP.There is often an effort to use Internet technologies to provide new interfaces with corporate 'legacy' data and information systems.

JAR

In computing, a JAR file (or Java ARchive) file used to distribute a set of Java classes. It is used to store compiled Java classes and linked metadata that can constitute a program.

* WAR (file format) (Web Application aRchive) files are also Java archives which store XML files, java classes, Java Server Pages and other objects for Web Applications.
* EAR (file format) (Enterprise ARchive) files are also Java archives which store XML files, java classes and other objects for Enterprise Applications.
* RAR (file format) (Resource Adapter aRchive) files are also Java archives which store XML files, java classes and other objects for J2EE Connector Architecture (JCA) applications.

JAR files can be created and extracted using the "jar" command that comes with the JDK. It can be done using zip tools, but as WinZip has a habit of renaming all-uppercase directories and files in lower case, this can raise support calls with whoever shaped the JAR or the tool authors themselves. WinRAR, on the other hand, retains the original case of filenames.

A JAR file has a manifest file located in the path META-INF/MANIFEST.MF. The entries in the manifest file determine how the JAR file will be used. JAR files which are intended to be executed as standalone programs will have one of their classes specified as the "main" class. The manifest file would have an entry such as
Main-Class: myPrograms.MyClass

Such JAR files are typically started with a command similar to

java -jar foo.jar

These files can also include a Classpath entry, which identifies other JAR files to be loaded with the JAR. This entry consists of a list of absolute or relative paths to other JAR files. Although intended to simplify JAR use, in practice, it turns out to be notoriously brittle as it depends on all the relevant JARs being in the exact locations specified when the entry-point JAR was built. To change versions or locations of libraries, a new manifest is needed.
