convergence › Definition and Meaning
When two or more things have a convergence point of attachment, ie, a confluence, concurrency or concentration occurs. The opposite is a divergence or separation.Convergence of ideas and projects
If two people have similar approaches are converging, as there is a similarity between their positions.In the context of a discussion one occurs logical discrepancy of opinions and views. Given this, it is possible that someone must propose positions and when this happens convergence occurs.
Imagine that two competing companies decide to merge for project concrete in order to achieve greater profitability. In this case, both entities will converge, which means establishing joint strategies. Thus, the concept implies a certain agreement or pact that initial differences translate into matches.
In the field of biology
Within the framework of the theory of evolution 's called convergent evolution of species it occurs. This happens when two different species adapt in the same way to a given physical medium. The reverse process is known as evolutionary divergence.Convergent evolution between two species is not a phenomenon spontaneous but occurs gradually and slowly over many generations. In this sense, the laws of evolution are the engine of convergence as a strategy of adaptation to the environment. A clear example of this transformation is what has happened with aquatic animals, and all of them have developed fins to survive better. If we talk about evolutionary divergence we could illustrate the functional differences between the wings of some species over others legs.
In the field of mathematics
It is called pointwise convergence when a sequence of functions converging at a point just in another function. If this process is not timely but is stable is called uniform convergence.In mathematical language are the convergence criteria. In this sense, there is a fairly intuitive general idea (for example, to add infinite things in order to get a number, those infinite things have to be increasingly smaller and closer to 0). Another convergence criterion is known as Cauchy holistic approach, which is applied in the calculation of integrals.

disqualifying › Definition and Meaning
The term disqualifying is formed with the Latin prefix des, expressing the opposite direction of something or its negation, along with the verb qualify. As for its meaning, it has two meanings. On the one hand, is to disavow and, secondly, involves removing.When we used as a synonym for disqualifying disavow
If a group of people is led by someone, this person can exercise the power of despotic and abusive manner. In such situations it is possible that a member of the group propose a change of leadership and consequently, the disqualification of the person who holds power. When this happens someone disavowal occurs, which means that his authority and power are questioned.It disqualifying is also used in situations where someone is discredited. Thus, if a person makes an inadequate statement it is very likely that some of its partners reject your idea and disqualifying.
The concept of disqualifying used in contexts of verbal aggression. In fact, if someone says "I will not allow any personal descalificiones" is indicating that opposes insults and criticism.
When we used as a synonym for eliminating disqualifying
If someone is disqualified it is because previously been classified. To give a concrete example divided into two phases: 1) a sprinter has passed a series of heats of the race 100 meters and has qualified for the final test of a competition and 2) the sprinter exit at the final test but leaves early career and judges make the decision to disqualify him.Disqualification as a form of disposal necessarily imply that an activity there are rules to be respected. Otherwise, who performs the functions of arbitrator or judge must apply the rules and proceed to disqualification (an athlete, a player in a game of chance or a participant of a TV game show).
Someone may be disqualified for various reasons
1) that has committed a small irregularity (for example, an early exit at a test speed ), 2) that have cheated the deliberate and planned manner (as happens with doping in sport ) or3 ) because it has not passed a certain test (sometimes the classification of some implies no classification of others and in such cases there is no error or abnormality that affects the regulation of the activity in question).

surviving › Definition and Meaning
Life is one of the most important gifts we have since precisely this end in itself is the basis of any experience : professional success, friendship, love, personal encounters, purpose and joy. However, life has a beginning and end (each biography has a different temporal context). Even in relation to our peers, we are aware that every human being part of this world when the time comes. We live own grief process when the next survived beings who want an unconditional way.We continue to live beyond their absence. It may be that in the same accident or a natural disaster death of a loved one while another manages to save himself. This kind of experience leaves wounds hopes and at the same time. In many cases, you can even leave guilt.
When love survives
It can also happen that sentiment survive. For example, real love survives the death of a loved one. We still want truth to those people who were important in our lives even once have died since their memory connects to an important part of our own happiness.When a couple overcomes a serious crisis also takes awareness that love has survived the difficulties and obstacles being stronger seed affection.
Also survived painful personal experiences, such as the defeat, failure, disappointment, heartbreak, betrayals, jealousies... That is the hope of a new day helps us to get up after a fall.
Surviving a health problem
A person who has suffered a disease serious and yet managed to recover has also survived this illness thanks to medical advances. When a person suffers a very tough situation also survives that test. For example, a emfermo suffering from drug addiction and manages completely rehabilitated, has managed to survive the dramatic consequences of this addiction.Throughout life, the human being lives chapters of all kinds, survives situations that maybe thought he overflowed. The force of life is intense as the case of those patients who, having been in a coma for a long time, awakened against all odds.

supercharge › Definition and Meaning
Humans need to eat to feel good, have a nutrition based on a balanced diet according to the lifestyle itself (energy expenditure varies depending on factors such as age, the pace of life, work), therefore by making the shopping cart is very important bet on menus that prioritize the fruits and vegetables of the season, as well as to develop healthy menus products.However, society's own wealth in developed countries there is a reality that can directly affect health: overfeeding. Ie eating more than you need, go for large meals and snacking can cause weight gain. This supercharger is especially visible during the Christmas holidays when meetings around the table show the excesses on the scale. Be supercharged does not mean being healthier, or eat better.
Excess protein
This power unmoderated can also produce other negative from excess energy intake consequences: diabetes, arthritis, arteriosclerosis... This nutritional imbalance should be corrected, with the medical advice to treat deficiencies hide behind these excesses. And, far from producing overfeeding can rob vitality.Similarly, in some cases, overfeeding can also be enhanced by an anxiety problem when the patient tends to eat more with the desire to fill that void inside. Overfeeding is also shown through excessive consumption of protein in relation to actual needs.
Pediatricians also criticize the consequences of feeding a low quality in childhood because it has consequences in adulthood. But also because it is in childhood when children internalize eating habits as normal and take appropriate from what they have learned at home.
It should be pointed out that the deficiencies in the shopping cart can also be related to the economic budget of the family.
Supercharger engine
Moreover, overfeeding can also be used in another context: in the field of engine since its inception. Thus, the evolution history in the sector shows different ways to increase its power by mechanical means.[ Index ▲ ]

Keep Calm › Definition and Meaning
Keep Calm means in English remain calm. However, this translation does not express its true meaning, because in reality it is a message two dimensions: one icon of the globalized world and a slogan related to World War II.Icon of world culture
We have probably seen shirts, posters or wallpapers in which a crown and appears underneath the words Keep Calm followed by a complementary message (and go shopping, and love, and study hard, and relax and other diverse). These messages are part of merchandising and advertising and have become a worldwide phenomenon.The real story icon
When World War II began the government Britain was concerned about a possible Nazi invasion which, fortunately, was never produced. Intended to encourage the population to the anguish and suffering of the war, the government launched a publicity campaign with posters across the country with the following message: keep calm and carry on (Stay calm and keep going).The message incorporating the symbol British crown at the top, had a red background and white letters. Thus, the cartel conveyed the need to maintain a calm attitude towards adversity. Remember that in wartime is quite common these messages aimed at the population ( it is well known the famous "They shall not pass" that was used by the French army in World War l and the defense of the city of Madrid during the Spanish civil war).
When World War II ended poster Keep Calm lost its meaning and completely forgot. However, many years later, a bookseller in northeast England found an old poster and put it in the entrance of his library with a decorative intent, since it was an original piece and aroused the curiosity of customers. In 2005 the British newspaper "The Guardian" published a story on the poster exhibited at the bookstore and its historical origins. From this publication Keep Calm message began to spread around the globe.
As a curiosity, it is worth remembering that the library has popularized the Keep Calm called "Barter Books" and is located in the small English town of Alnwick. This business is an old train station and for this reason there is an electric train running inside the library and used to entertain visiting clients.
