discouraged workers

In economics, discouraged workers is a person of legal employment age who is not actively seeking employment or who does not find employment after long-term unemployment. This is usually because an individual has given up looking or has had no success in finding a job, hence the term "discouraged". A discouraged worker is defined as a person not in the labor force who wants and is available for a job and who has looked for work sometime in the past 12 months (or since the end of his or her last job if a job was held within the past 12 months), but who is not currently looking because of real or perceived poor employment prospects.

The top five reasons for discouraged workers are the following:

1)The worker thinks no work is available.
2) The worker could not find work.
3) The worker lacks schooling or training.
4) The worker is viewed as too young or too old by the prospective employer.
5) The worker is the target of various types of discrimination.

heterodyne

is a signal processing technique invented in 1901 by Canadian inventor-engineer Reginald Fessenden that creates new frequencies by combining or mixing two frequencies. Heterodyning is used to shift one frequency range into another, new one, and is also involved in the processes of modulation and demodulation. The two frequencies are combined in a nonlinear signal-processing device such as a vacuum tube, transistor, or diode, usually called a mixer. In the most common application, two signals at frequencies f1 and f2 are mixed, creating two new signals, one at the sum f1 + f2 of the two frequencies, and the other at the difference f1 − f2. These new frequencies are called heterodynes. Typically only one of the new frequencies is desired, and the other signal is filtered out of the output of the mixer. Heterodynes are the mathematical dual of the phenomenon of "beats" in acoustics.

A major application of the heterodyne process is in the superheterodyne radio receiver circuit, which is used in virtually all modern radio receivers.

I thought heterodyne meant the oral copulation of a heterosexual.

serenity prayer

Dear God, please grant me the Serenity to accept the things that I cannot change, the Courage to change the things I can, and the Wisdom to know the difference.

Sometimes when no one else is listening, I recite the serenity prayer to myself and remember that God is always listening.

droste effect

The droste effect is the effect of a picture recursively appearing within itself, in a place where a similar picture would realistically be expected to appear. And while the appearance may be recursive, the smaller version contains an even smaller version of the picture, and so on. Only in theory could this go on forever, as fractals can sometimes do; practically, it continues only as long as the resolution of the picture allows, which is relatively short, since each iteration geometrically reduces the picture's size.

This sentence says, "This sentence says, "This sentence says, "This sentence says, "..."""" - (example of the droste effect )

sext claw

Sext claw might not be a diagnosis, but many deviant individuals have definitely felt the pangs of sexting, typing, or browsing pornsites. From a visual standpoint, it's the pain you get throughout your wrist and hands, after constant use or masturbation. Sometimes this can lead to cramping, which in turn can cause blue balls, bitching, a decline in motivation, and the loss of busting a nut. It can actually make hand jobs from yourself or other people, seem to be out of the question or just more difficult to complete.

Hey Lisa! I heard one of your trick's didn't have enough for a quickie, right? No Pam. I was in too much pain from a sext claw halfway through, and just told him it was on the house.

MNXRLT4U

MNXRLT4U is an acronymous rebus puzzle. It can be solved by its annunciation which, when spoken aloud, should sound like, “Ham and eggs are healthy for you.”

“Before the research on cholesterol provoked such due concern, people believed that “MNXRLT4U.” What was it that the people formally acknowledged?
