Word For The Day, Wednesday, February 27, 2013 --hysteresis
;In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".
hysteresis [his-tuh-ree-sis]
noun
1. the lag in response exhibited by a body in reacting to changes in the forces, especially magnetic forces, affecting it. Compare magnetic hysteresis.
2. the phenomenon exhibited by a system, often a ferromagnetic or imperfectly elastic material, in which the reaction of the system to changes is dependent upon its past reactions to change.
Origin: From the Greek term meaning "a coming short, a deficiency." Hysteresis, a term coined by Sir James Alfred Ewing, a Scottish physicist and engineer (1855-1935), refers to systems, organisms and fields that have memory. In other words, the consequences of an input are experienced with a certain lag time, or delay. One example is seen with iron: iron maintains some magnetization after it has been exposed to and removed from a magnetic field.
Investopedia explains 'Hysteresis'
In economics, hysteresis arises when a single disturbance affects the course of the economy. An example of hysteresis in economics is the delayed effects of unemployment. As unemployment increases, more people adjust to a lower standard of living. As they become accustomed to the lower standard of living, people may not be as determined to achieve the previously desired higher living standard. In addition, as more people become unemployed, it becomes more socially acceptable to be or remain unemployed. After the labor market returns to normal, some unemployed people may be disinterested in returning to the work force.

The crowd did go crazy when that great horse won the Belmont Stakes by about a quarter of a mile.
If we can manage to make it half again as big, then it will be the sesquisequester.
oh that hasn’t happened in a very long time...
Five years into 0bama and the hysteresis has not been reached, as most low info voters still adore him. They are like frogs in warm water, with the heat slowly coming to a boil, they fail to look into the future. The jactitation of thewon and his followers continues. They remain totally unaware of the coming financial doom. The calumny of the situation does not exceed the imagination of the conservatives. 0’s monomania to turn us into a communist hell hole is progressing. He wangles for that goal daily.

It’s like a greatest hits album!
You poor thing.
....better than us starving.
It is 62 and windy-I tried for awhile to get the fallen trellis up off the ground, but it is way too heavy for one person, so I threw a tantrum and came back inside...
Obama’s slowness to react on
Budget issues is really lame-
He usually leaps without looking
So he must be off his game
And his minions’ tardy response
Could well be worth a thesis-
This is one of the few times
They are affected by hysteresis
It must be the stress and strain
Of remembering all they said
In their eagerness to create
Seqestration fear and dread...
I was hiking along this morning, singing this-
“The sound of your footsteps
Telling me that you’re near
Your soft gentle motion, baby
Brings out the need in me that no one can hear, except
In my midnight confessions
When I tell all the world that I love you
In my midnight confessions
When I say all the things that I want to
I love you
But a little gold ring you wear on your hand makes me understand
There’s another before me, you’ll never be mine
I’m wasting my time”
I haven’t heard that in a long time-either I’m in a time warp, or it was playing on the radio while I was sleeping...
I’m cranking up “Eve of Destruction” to really fit the current state of the world...
We had an hour school delay this morning and rain ever since.....very depressing day.
Teflon doesn’t last forever-look what happened to Nixon and Gotti...

Excellent! One of your best yet.
Good luck with your trellis.
Thank you! The trellis raising and repair meeds someone like my big, strong neighbor-or his son-to assist-I’ll be prevailing on his charity when he gets home from work...
