The 2013 Fall TV season is finally upon us!
It's a big year for returning favorites like "How I Met Your Mother" (the mom has finally been revealed) and "Glee" (which will address the death of star Cory Monteith). But it's an even bigger year for the 25+ new shows that are debuting this September and October. Don't worry ... toofab is here to help. That's why we've pulled a gallery of this season's 10 must-watch shows:
With the box office success of "The Avengers," ABC is banking on "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," which features an elite special ops team dealing with the emergence of superpowered beings. Another new sci-fi fantasy entry is "Once Upon a Time in Wonderland." Both shows are highly anticipated and will hopefully deliver.
As for comedies, we can't wait to see more of "Pitch Perfect" star Rebel Wilson. The Aussie wrote and stars in ABC's "Super Fun Night." The series will follow Rebel and two of her nerdy friends who make a pact to have fun every Friday night (we are rooting for you Rebel!).
Other comedies to keep an eye on are CBS's "The Crazy Ones," featuring the odd pairing of Robin Williams and Sarah Michelle Gellar and NBC's "The Michael J. Fox Show," marking the actor's regular return to television for the first time since leaving "Spin City" in 2001.
But the two shows our staffers are most excited to see are NBC's "Hostages" -- an intense thriller starring Dylan McDermott, and Showtime's "Masters of Sex," a "Mad Men"-esque period drama tackling a taboo topic.
Click "Launch Gallery" above to see the Top 10 shows we're most looking forward to watching this fall. What shows are you the most excited to see this season? Let us know below!

Copycat! Let's get 4 or 10 more people on this; however many people you need for a custom order from Alden.

Copcat, haha... I've been talking to Horween for a year and a half on my search for whiskey/cigar cordie longwings... But yes... Let's get an order together... Make up a nice post here and spread the word. I'll get ahold of Alden and Horween and see what we can do...

I was out looking for these today. Cognac, right? I would really like a pair, too.

J. Crew just sold out of these. Hopefully they'll restock.
- January 30, 2010 at 3:20 PM

So seriously.. .eveyone who wants these comment below.. I'm going to make this a priority, among the thirty others... haha.

Stephen- these are Whiskey, according to Nick, the lightest and rarest cordovan...

- B.R.Judge said...
I'm in too
these shoes are so close to perfect.
- January 31, 2010 at 12:40 PM
- Stephen said...
Thanks Ryan! "Whiskey" is good both in color and potableness.
JCrew calls their color "Tobacco". "Whiskey" & "Cognac" seem more fitting. They can do a store locator to see if any are out there in your size within 48 hours of ordering and ship it for free under their "We Will Find It" policy and since it's a full-price item.
- January 31, 2010 at 4:18 PM
- Don Richman said...
I'd be all over a Whiskey cordovan longwing. Put the order in already!!! Let us at 'em.
- January 31, 2010 at 7:11 PM
- JB said...
J Crew is sold out already??? Damn. I know the Liquor Store was fully stocked with these when I passed by last week.
Maybe if I don't spend another dime till April I can find the $440for the J Crew version.
- January 31, 2010 at 8:42 PM
- Aaron said...
Count me in, I'd pre-pay this beauties right now!
- February 1, 2010 at 10:07 AM
- mndaydreamer said...
Just so people aren't confused, the shoe pictured above is Whiskey Shell Cordovan and retails for $650. The J. Crew version is in tan/cognac/tabacco (whatever you want to call it) calfskin for $440. I scored a pair of Whiskey Shell Longwings at the Alden store on Madison several months. I'm sure they sold out, but it might be worth a call.
- February 1, 2010 at 4:42 PM
- Ryan said...
mndaydreamer is right... the J.Crew is calf leather (cow) and these are shell cordovan (horse). If you need to see what they look like with some burnishing and wear, check out these that are probably on my feet as you read this: http://youhavebrokentheinternet.blogspot.com/2009/12/bestgiftever.html
these are about some of the rarest shoes in the Alden family, if not the entire leather realm. The shells have to be nearly perfect grain and color to hold such a light tannage. Which is why I've learned most cordovan shells end up in the darker colors...
So yes, these shoes are going to push $600 plus, but hey... your son will thank you!

- Zachary said...
Those are my shoes (and my photo, don't sweat the credit). Got them at the Alden store in NYC. I'd been looking for them for well over a year when someone dropped me a line that they were in stock. These were my grail shoe for ages.
- February 1, 2010 at 8:14 PM
- Ryan said...
Zachary- congrats on a great pair of shoes! Only question, can I see them now?
- February 1, 2010 at 8:16 PM
- Stephen said...
JB- JCrew has them back in stock as of yesterday.
- February 3, 2010 at 1:08 PM

Alden of DC has ravello shell longwings. I received them yesterday. Dial them up.

As I write this column, we are still waiting for news about the six miners trapped in the Crandall Canyon Mine.
It has been a week since a "seismic event" filled the mine tunnels with rubble, and still we have no news about the fate of the missing men. Our hopes and prayers are with them, their families, and the rescue crews.
Such tragedies always come as a shock, and yet, they are never unexpected. Those of us who live in this valley and make our living from the mining industry, know that it is always just a matter of time before another "incident" will happen. The question is never "if" - but when, where, and how bad? Accidents have always been a part of mining. We know and understand that.
So why do we do it? Some members of the news media seem surprised that people actually choose to work in the coal mines. Why would anyone willingly work inside a dark, damp, and endless maze of tunnels, deep inside the guts of a mountain? Why would anyone work under a roof that weighs a million tons, where everything is covered with rock dust and the very air you breathe is pumped in from several miles away? Why would anyone daily risk the dangers of gas explosions, roof falls, high voltage electricity, black damp (bad air), fires, moving chains, cables, and heavy equipment in the dark, just to receive a paycheck?
We do it because it's a job that needs done. Why do people volunteer to be soldiers? Why do cops, firefighters, EMS workers, search and rescue people, sanitation workers, hospice, and emergency room medical staff do what they do? There are a lot of difficult, unpleasant jobs to do, and thank God there are people willing to do them.
Coal mining is a vital national industry and we all benefit from the efforts of coal miners. Coal provides 50 percent of our nation's energy. Mining is an honorable profession, too. Those who work inside the mountain deserve our respect and gratitude.
And there are personal rewards for coal miners not found in most other professions. There is a sense of belonging, a brotherhood among miners very similar to that shared by combat soldiers, bull riders, police officers, and others who share the dangers and special knowledge of working in extremely dangerous conditions. Coal miners live with danger and the satisfaction of overcoming fear on a daily basis. Because of it, they walk tall and appreciate life and living more than most other people.
And because of that band-of-brothers mentality in the mines, miners will do anything for each other. In this latest tragedy, the first responders were digging at the collapsed mine shafts with buckets, shovels, and bare hands before machinery could be brought in. It was a futile effort, and they knew it, but they felt they had to do something. Those buckets and shovels of coal were expressions of love and concern more than acts of desperation. Those rescuers knew, that if they were the ones beyond the cave-in, their brothers in the industry would be digging with bare hands to get to them, too.
And then there are those who volunteer to be on the mine rescue teams. Mine rescue people descend into the depths of hell and put their lives on the line to rescue other miners. There is no job anywhere more dangerous. They work in the dark, carrying as much as 100-pounds of equipment, in poisoned atmospheres and smoke-filled tunnels where any mistake can get them killed. And yet, some volunteer to do it year after year. Where do we get such people, and how can we ever thank them?
And so, as we wait to hear what the outcome for the trapped miners will be, rest assured that everything possible is being done to rescue them. And in spite of where some of the national media people are trying to take this story, understand that to the miners, the mine company, and the people of Carbon and Emery counties, there are no Mexicans or "Americans" in that mine. We are all brothers here. Just as in the past when there were no Italians, Greeks, Slavs, Orientals, blacks, or northern Europeans trapped in other mine disasters - only members of a single, proud family of miners. We work together, live together, and sometimes die together, here in this valley. Could we be anything less than family?
Our prayers are with the miners and the loved ones of everyone involved.

Comedy, Romance
Heir to a billion-dollar automobile empire, Rajveer has it all, a loving family, riches of the world, and a dream job designing cars. He falls head-over-heels in love with Madhuri, who is a strong advocate of social justice and equality. To his dismay, Rajveer learns that she "hates" all rich people and will have nothing to do with a rich boy like himself. In a sweeping stance of romance, Rajveer decides to give it all up and pretend to be the "poorest of the poor" in order to win her affection and love. A comedy of errors ensues as Rajveer and his ultra-rich lavish family attempt to play the parts of poor slumdwellers and in doing so turn into a dysfunctional bunch of over-the-top actors.

Can a Brand's Tarnished Reputation Infect Others By Association?
This weekend, in the frigid cold, my kids "had to" go to a major sporting goods chain in order to procure Power Balance bracelets. Yes, those very bracelets that originally claimed to use magnetic frequencies in your body to improve balance, but later admitted to doing pretty much nothing. These are the very same bracelets that sports heroes so famous that they require no last name – Kobe, Shaq – have been rockin' on the court.
Normally, this would be considered a crisis of major proportions…you are admitting to scamming consumers, and you've co-opted iconic sports heroes whose reputation currency is counted in the millions, or billions, via product endorsements.
So what does Power Balance do? In a classic Oz-like "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" move – they've inked a deal to name an arena with dollar values so low the experts are predicting it could de-value future deals, and the reputation of the Kings along the way. Clearly the combination of small media market and a pretty poor win-loss record despite a small bump in attendance didn't help the Kings.
The question is this – have the Kings further damaged their reputation by partnering with a questionable sponsor? Or has Power Balance brilliantly deflected what could have been a business-destroying revelation that the performance bracelets are no more than a fashion statement?
And yes, I plunked down 60 bucks for a very fashionable plastic bracelet. My high school baller knows they are just a fashion statement – and bought one in her team colors. My younger one thinks it will make him run faster, shoot better and stay on his feet when he is bumped around…after all Lamar Odom says they make a difference for him. I think that is called the Placebo Effect.

Marian Gaborik's goal at 3:12 of overtime sealed a win for
the Rangers in tonight's preseason opener. There were some very encouraging signs from tonight's game, especially
from the youngsters and guys fighting to make the team. Here are some observations the Garden:
Derek Stepan looks like he belongs. I maintain that
it's best for him to get seasoning and confidence in the AHL. I
still think there'd be too much expected of him and too much pressure, and that
he'll wear down at some point this season. But there's no doubt Stepan can play in the NHL right now, and play
well. Marian Gaborik's first goal was
created entirely by Stepan, who skated out from the corner to the middle of the
ice and swung a pass back to Alex Frolov. The dish caught the Devils defense going the wrong way and turned them
back around. All Frolov had to do was
fire a nice touch pass across the crease to a wide open Gaborik, and bang 1-0
Rangers. For the many of you that think
Stepan would be a better fit between Gaborik and Frolov than Erik Christensen,
I'll admit Stepan looked more comfortable there tonight. Stepan does a nice job in not wasting movement;
he gets from point A to point B quickly and is always a part of the action
without tiring himself out.
The Rangers have to be happy with what they saw from Frolov. His pass to Gaborik was a thing of beauty and his goal, off a Devil
turnover, was a sweet deke of Martin Brodeur that made the star New Jersey netminder
look silly. Frolov has critics for a
reason, but if he can create space for Gaborik and contribute on the offensive
side of the rink on a consistent basis, the Rangers will overlook his
Gaborik scored
the game-winner in OT and looked like he was in midseason form. That "quick release," as Joe Micheletti likes
to call it, was on full display. Gaborik
creates enough chances on his own, if the Rangers can provide him with
playmakers he could best last season's goal total, provided he stays healthy of
There's no denying that Mats
Zuccarello (as he's now called) has a tremendous amount of offensive
skill. He sees the ice very well and had
more than a couple very nice passes and scoring chances. But he also got tossed around by the Devils
several times. As the game went on Zuccarello
seemed to brace himself a bit more on impact, once lowering his shoulder into
an oncoming check. The Norwegian Hobbit
has the skills to be successful in the NHL, but his size is a huge obstacle and
that was very noticeable tonight. I
think he'll have to start the season in Hartford.

Children Online
The safety of our children online is everyone's responsibility. Teaching our children secure and sensible online behaviors today is imperative for a healthy tomorrow – our families, our state, and our nation depend on it.
Many of our young people are using online technology in smart and inspiring ways. Yet too many are also using technology to tease, gossip, and talk to strangers. Attorney General Harris believes that we can work together to help all young people be good digital citizens.
To protect our children, the Attorney General targets criminals who exploit them online and advocates for digital literacy and citizenship in California schools. She invites everyone – parents, kids, teachers, brothers, sisters, mentors, innovators, researchers, and others – to join her in making the Internet a place of creativity and tolerance, not fear.
We have divided the Children Online section of this web site into "Parents" and "Educators" for your convenience. In reality, all the information moves us toward a solution: enjoy exploring all the resources.
Senate Bill 561
Pursuant to Senate Bill 561 (Chapter 308, Statutes of 2012), the Alameda County District Attorney's Office and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department collect statistical data on arrests or prosecutions involving private information gathered from the Internet that was used in furtherance of a crime in which the victim was a minor. Additionally, the bill requires the Department of Justice to publish the information reported from these two agencies on the Attorney General's Web Site.

A drum miking system that looks great and delivers extreme isolation
The B-Band UKKO-T single tom drum contact mic system is a remarkable way to capture the true tonality of your tom consistently, conveniently, and with extreme isolation. This system consists of two important components: the UKKO DMT preamp, built with high-quality class-A electronics, and the UKKO DST2 Contact mic for superb tone. This system will work with any size tom, and gives you high-resolution sound, and easy setup!
This mic system was designed to be able to blend-in visually with the drum kit. That is why B-Band designed the DMT preamp to be chrome colored to match most drum hardware. It is an extremely lightweight system that does not add any noticeable weight to the drum, or get in the way while performing like most other drum mic systems. It also very robust and durable, and will endure rigorous touring.
Setting up and tearing down have never been this easy. The DST2 has an adhesive back that mounts easily and discreetly on the inside of the drum shell near the batter head. The DST2 lead wire is fed through the drum air hole to the DMT preamp. The preamp comes with two different mounting options: mounting at the air hole outside of the drum, or a rim clamp mounting. The air hole mounting option was specially designed to not interrupt the flow of air as the drum breathes. Being as the DMT preamp is so small in size, there is no need to remove it to put the drum in its case, leave it on and be ready for the next gig or studio session.
Inside the DMT preamp there are two mini switches that contour the sound for a choice of tone. One switch controls a -6dB mid cut at 1 kHz and the other is for a +6dB high boost at 5kHz.

Comments about B-Band UKKO-T Single Tom Drum Contact Mic:
these worked great for about six months, just had to tell the sound guy what I had and that they are phantom powered. After six months, they started shorting out,would come on if you wiggled them , then would cut out in the middle of a song again. Finally gave up on them, just not reliable.
Comments about B-Band UKKO-T Single Tom Drum Contact Mic:
Great mic! Really makes a difference.Don't bother with the manual, it will only confuse you, and the pics are miserable. Setup is simple and easy; just refer to the last page of the manual for selecting the mini switch settings. Rock on!

How Muslim Youth Use the Internet
A new study shows that freedom of expression online is compatible with Islam – or at least that's what Muslim teenagers think.
Benina Gould, a faculty member at Saybrook University, recently completed a study of the internet habits of Muslim youth in Indonesia – the world's largest Muslim country. The study includes both "conservative" Muslims who would be described as "fundamentalists" in the West, and "modern" Muslim teenagers, who would be described as "progressive." It's published in the American Journal of Islamic Social Sciences vol 29, Spring 2012 number 2.
Students surveyed were from 16-19 years old and attended three private pesantrens (Islamic boarding schools), three Islamic madrasahs and one secular school.
Regardless of their outlook, it turns out that Muslim students in Indonesia do not regard the internet as one of their top sources of information for any news – whether religious or secular. TV, newspapers, and friends were listed as the sources they got most of their information from – with the internet running a sometimes distant fourth. In total, only 10 percent of students regarded the internet as a top source for Islamic news, and only 13% for non-Islamic news.
That said, both conservative and moderate Muslim youth use the internet about as much as the progressives – a few times a week, and their favorite sites include Yahoo and Google. While conservative students tended to prefer conservative Muslim websites, students from every group went to sites with a variety of perspectives.
Gould suggests that young Muslims in Indonesia are in "an early period of exploration" with the internet, and that the extremist views online that so many in the west find so alarming have limited impact on Indonesian teenagers.
"(A)lthough the Internet may socialize a potential mujāhid to the ideology of global Salafi Jihādis, it is still uncertain whether he or she is willing to make the sacrifices for the jihād and can be securely counted on. He or she still needs to undergo an intense period of face-to-face interaction to check one's commitment and devotion to the cause and generate bonds that will prevent him from betraying the cause," she writes.
The study found no support for the stereotype that either Islamic boarding schools or madrashahs are "breeding grounds" for terrorists, as students at each kind of school in Indonesia had "a variety of outlooks: modernist, conservative, and moderate.
Gould is a faculty member of Saybrook University's Social Transformation program, which emphasizes the role social media is playing in a new generation of activists, and the new opportunities its giving ordinary people to address issues of social change.

PAWTUCKET—Behind a photo of a smiling young girl with big brown eyes and wearing a purple satin dress is a handwritten note that reads: "May your life in heaven be better than the one you knew here. R.I.P." It is signed, "A Friend."
The girl in the photo, Aleida DePina, 10, died last week from what the medical examiner determined was blunt force trauma.
Her father, Jorge DePina, has been charged with her murder.
In the densely populated neighborhood off West Avenue, several people paused to look at the shrine set up in front of the two-story apartment house at 48 Knowles St. Melting religious candles were surrounded by dolls, Beanie Babies, and a large pink Teddy bear holding a pillow with the word "Princess."
A large, well-used gas grill stood behind a chain link fence close to the street. Neighbors have remarked that Jorge DePina often cooked out and had friends come by.
Several woman stood chatting in Spanish the driveway at the rear of the apartment and the house next door. When asked about the family, they just shook their heads and said the incident was "so sad."
One woman said she was just visiting the apartment next door, so didn't know the DePinas, but she hoped nothing like that happened in her neighborhood.
A man who said he lived across the street and referred to himself as "miscellaneous," said he knew Jorge DePina somewhat and that he and the others — living in the mostly Cape Verdean — neighborhood often "helped each other out" with things they needed. He said DePina often cooked on the grill and had friends come by for food and drink.
The man said he had seen Aleida DePina sometimes riding her bicycle up and down the sidewalk and that she seemed very quiet and shy. He said he had been told by a neighborhood woman that at a recent birthday party that had been held for the young girl a few weeks ago, she had been given presents but had left them unopened.
The neighbor also said that he considered DePina "innocent until proven guilty." Noting that DePina often had parties, he suggested a scenario where, perhaps, the girl had been left unattended for a time and had been assaulted by visitor.
A handwritten sign taped to the fence near the shrine reads "Let's get together" and asks for donations to a Citizens bank account. However, a call to Citizens Bank corporate office had no information about a special account having been set up for the victim and said the account number given is listed to someone from Boston. No further information on a financial collection is available.
The case is still under investigation, but the facts, according to a state prosecutor, police and a court affidavit, show that Aleida DePina was brought to Miriam Hospital on the evening of July 3 by her father, Jorge DePina. According to court documents, authorities believe she was dead on arrival at the hospital and was pronounced dead by a physician immediately.
Two days later, 32-year-old Jorge DePina was charged with his daughter's murder, as well as first-degree child abuse and cruelty to or neglect of a child. He did not enter a plea, according to court documents and was ordered held without bail at the Adult Correctional Institutions pending a bail hearing on July 19.
According to reports, prosecutor Kevin Crawley told District Court Judge William C. Clifton that autopsy results showed Aleida DePina had died of blunt force trauma to the abdomen, an injury that had likely occurred days earlier. He also said she had been deprived of food, clothing and proper medical care.
The prosecutor also said that Miriam Hospital staff had observed injuries, both old and new, including abrasions and bruises to her chest, abdomen, arms, elbows and thighs. Additionally, he said she had abrasions on her back that had possibly been made with a cigarette.
According to the affidavit from Pawtucket Police detectives that was used to request a search warrant, Aleida DePina appeared to be malnourished.
In addition to the numerous wounds that had been outlined by the prosecutor, detectives also stated that the young girl had what appeared to be ligature marks on her wrists and numerous puncture wounds on her back. According to the attending physician, it appears she had also been sodomized, the affidavit states.
The investigating detectives also said in the affidavit that they believed the child had sustained injuries and trauma consistent with assault and severe physical abuse, likely over an extended period of time.
Listed among the items seized by detectives as part of the investigation were samples of vomit from inside the apartment and an outside wall, a white rope from a door, bedding from the victim's room, a Hello Kitty bathrobe, and numerous items from a bathtub, including bedsheets, a man's shirt, a facecloth, a pair of Disney girls' underwear, a pair of blue Ralph Lauren briefs, two brushes and a cup.
At his court appearance on Friday, Jorge DePina had reportedly appeared distraught, crying repeatedly in Creole. Several friends and neighbors spoke to reporters in his defense, saying he had appeared to be a caring father and that they couldn't believe the accusations against him.
Stephanie Terry, an associate director for the Rhode Island Department of Children, Youth and Families, said that because this is an active investigation by police, she would not confirm or deny if there had been any prior contact with the agency and Jorge DePina. "Because of the nature of the allegation and the circumstances, police take the front seat here," she said, referring any inquires to the Police Department.
Pawtucket Police Maj. Arthur Martins said there was no record of any child abuse complaint that had been brought against Jorge DePina. He said Pawtucket Police had been called to 48 Knowles Ave. over the past three years for various complaints about noise and unruly behavior, and some tenant/landlord disputes, but the reports did not specifically name DePina. He said that last March, there had been an incident in which a bottle had been thrown through the window of DePina's first floor apartment during a party, striking someone inside, and a Providence man had later been arrested as the suspect.
When asked if any staff at the Baldwin Elementary School, where DePina was a student, had noticed any signs of abuse, Schools Superintendent Deborah Cylke said she was still gathering information about the recent incident.

Newton's laws of motion.
First law:- Every body continues in its state of rest or uniform motion unless compleeled by an external force to change its position.
Second law:- The rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place in the direction of the force.
Third law:- Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

Law of gravitation.
The law that every two particles of matter in the universe attract each other with a force that acts along the line joining them, and has a magnitude proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Kepler's laws of planetary motion:-
First law
The first law of Kepler states that a planet moves in an elliptical orbit around the Sun that is located at one of the two foci of the ellipse.
Second law
The second law states that the radius vector of the ellipse (the imaginary line between the planet and the Sun) sweeps out areas that are proportional to time.
Third law
Kepler's third law defines the relations that hold within the system of planets. It states that the ratio between the square of a planet's period (the time required to complete one orbit) to the cube of the mean radius (the average distance from the Sun during one orbit) is a constant.

Law of refraction
In optics and physics, Snell's law (also known as Descartes' law or the law of refraction), is a formula used to describe the relationship between the angles of incidence and refraction, when referring to light or other waves, passing through a boundary between two different isotropic media, such as air and glass. The law says that the ratio of the sines of the angles of incidence and of refraction is a constant that depends on the media.
In optics, the law is used in ray tracing to compute the angles of incidence or refraction, and in experimental optics to find the refractive index of a material.

Ohm's law
Ohm's law states that, in an electrical circuit, the current passing through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the potential difference (i.e. voltage drop or voltage) across the two points, and inversely proportional to the resistance between them.
The mathematical equation that describes this relationship is:
where I is the current in amperes, V is the potential difference between two points of interest in volts, and R is a constant, measured in ohms (which is equivalent to volts per ampere), and is called the resistance. The potential difference is also known as the voltage drop, and is sometimes denoted by E or U instead of V.

Faraday's laws of Electrolysis:
Faraday's 1st Law of Electrolysis
The mass of a substance produced at an electrode during electrolysis is directly proportional to the number of electrons (the quantity of electricity) transferred at that electrode.
Faraday's 2nd Law of Electrolysis
The number of faradays of electric charge required to discharge one mole of substance at an electrode is equal to the number of "excess" elementary charges on that ion.
Modern form
In modern form, Faraday's laws are summarised by:
m is the mass of the substance produced at the electrode,
Q is the total electric charge passed through the solution,
n is the valence number of ions of the substance (electrons transferred per ion),
F = 96 485 C mol-1 is the Faraday constant,
M is the molar mass of the substance.
T is the total amount of time of the electrolysis.
In the simple case of constant current electrolysis this reduces to:
Q = It

Heisenberg Uncertainity Principle
In quantum physics, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle is the statement that locating a particle in a small region makes the momentum of the particle uncertain, and conversely, measuring the momentum of a particle precisely makes the position uncertain.
In quantum mechanics, the position and momentum do not have precise values, but have a probability distribution. There are no states in which a particle has both a definite position and momentum. The narrower the probability distribution is in position, the wider it is in momentum.
Character is who you are when no one is looking.
Pauli exclusion principle
"No two electrons or protons or neutrons in a given system can be in states characterized by the same set of quantum numbers."
Assertion proposed by Wolfgang Pauli that no two electrons in an atom can be in the same state or configuration at the same time. It accounts for the observed patterns of light emission from atoms. The principle has since been generalized to include the whole class of particles called fermions. The spin of such particles is always an odd whole-number multiple of 1/2. For example, electrons have spin 1/2, and can occupy two distinct states with opposite spin directions. The Pauli exclusion principle indicates, therefore, that only two electrons are allowed in each atomic energy state, leading to the successive buildup of orbitals around the nucleus. This prevents matter from collapsing to an extremely dense state.

Coulomb's law
The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two point electric charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of each charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the charges.

Boyle's law
For a fixed amount of gas kept at a fixed temperature, P and V are inversely proportional (while one increases, the other decreases).
{P= Pressure, V=Volume}
Charle's law
At constant pressure, the volume of a given mass of an ideal gas increases or decreases by the same factor as its temperature (in kelvin) increases or decreases.
Ideal Gas law
The ideal gas law is the equation of state of a hypothetical ideal gas, first stated by Benoît Paul Émile Clapeyron in 1834.
The state of an amount of gas is determined by its pressure, volume, and temperature according to the equation:
P is the absolute pressure,
V is the volume of the vessel,
n is the amount of substance of gas,
R is the ideal gas constant,
T is the absolute temperature.
The appropriate value of the ideal gas constant (R) depends on the units being used. In SI units, R = 8.314 J mol-1 K-1 (or equivalently m³ Pa K-1 mol-1).

Avogadro's hypothesis
Avogadro's law (Avogadro's Hypothesis, or Avogadro's Principle) is a gas law named after Amedeo Avogadro, who in 1811 hypothesized that:
Equal volumes of ideal or perfect gases, at the same temperature and pressure, contain the same number of particles, or molecules.

Fermat's Little theorem
Fermat's little theorem states that if p is a prime number, then for any integer a, (a^p − a) will be evenly divisible by p. This can be expressed in the notation of modular arithmetic as follows:
A variant of this theorem is stated in the following form: if p is a prime and a is an integer coprime to p, then (a^(p − 1) − 1) will be evenly divisible by p. In the notation of modular arithmetic:
Another way to state this is that if p is a prime number and a is any integer that does not have p as a factor, then a raised to the p-1 power will leave a remainder of 1 when divided by p.
Fermat's little theorem is the basis for the Fermat primality test.
