Long / Short in the world

The Great Wall of China is the world's longest monuments with more than 6.000km.

長城 = Gran Muralla China = Gran Muraglia Cinese = Great Wall of China

Long / Short concept

The term "Long / Short" is clearly subjective and it depends on one's own culture and knowledge to assess the length, distance or time period to each of the materials presented experiences. For example, a person living in a small town, your street may be longer than 50 numbers, however, a person living in a city, a long street is one of 300 and even the smaller one can be that of 50.

Long / Short "TWO CONCEPTS"

The metro as a union of two concepts related to the length


The watch as union of the two concepts in their referral to the measurement of time

 

Long / Short in the sports

As the concept of "long or short" in sports is significant and important note for all of them as just a millimeter more means you can gain a global test.

Long / Short in the myths

Popular conceptions on long-short are ditorted by a number of myths, many of which appear of result from viewing long-short from a convetional investment perspective. Long-Short portfolios differ fundamentally from long-only portfolios in construction, in the measurement of their risk and return, and  in their implementation costs. Futhermore, long-short portfolios allow greater flexibility in security selection, asset allocation, and overwall plan structure.

Tracy Chapman--Short Supply





Where are
The sunny days
The blue skies
The flowers for the children
The colors for their eyes?


Don't you see
Don't you see
All these things now days
Come in short supply


It's time that we
It's time that we
Make a space in our hearts
And open our eyes


Where are
All the sandy beaches
Fishes in the sea
Birds to sing for daybreak?
Where are all the trees?


Don't you see
Don't you see
All these things now days
Come in short supply


It's time that we
It's time that we
Make a space in our hearts
And open our eyes


Where are all the grassy hilltops
Clean air to breathe
Pure water to drink of
Beautiful sights to see?


Don't you see
Don't you see
All these things now days
Come in short supply


It's time that we
It's time that we
Make a space in our hearts
And open our eyes


Or there'll be no more you
There'll be no more me
There'll be no more children
All we know will cease to be


Don't you see
Don't you see
The things of this earth
Keep us alive


It's time that we
It's time that we
Make a space in our hearts
And open our eyes


Where are the sunny days?
Blue skies
The flowers for the children
All the colors for their eyes
All the sandy beaches
Fishes in the sea
All the birds to sing for daybreak
Where are
Where are
Where are all the trees?


Don't you see
All these things they come in short supply
It's time that we
Make a space inside our hearts
And open our eyes

Short People--Randy Newman





Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
To live

They got little hands
Little eyes
They walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet

Well, I don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
`Round here

Short People are just the same
As you and I
(A Fool Such As I)
All men are brothers
Until the day they die
(It's A Wonderful World)

Short People got nobody
Short People got nobody
Short People got nobody
To love

They got little baby legs
That stand so low
You got to pick 'em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That go beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin' peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
They're gonna get you every time
Well, I don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
'Round here

Long / Short measures

METRO LASER   click to know more

 Metro is the latest technology. Easily measured with great precision all distances.



The standard unit of length in the metric system is the meter. Other units of length and their equivalents in meters are as follows:
1 millimeter = 0.001 meter
1 centimeter = 0.01 meter
1 decimeter = 0.1 meter
1 kilometer = 1000 meters


Long / Short measures


The gauge or caliper is indispensable to accurately measure small items. The accuracy of this tool comes to the tenth and even half a tenth of a millimeter. To measure outer two long legs used to measure internal (eg hole diameters) the two small legs, and to measure depths with a peg that goes out from the rear. To make a measurement, adjust the size in order to measure and we'll fix it. Mobile leg has a graduated scale (10 or 20 lines, depending on the accuracy). The first line (0) will indicate the millimeters and the next line that exactly matches one of the stripes on the dial of the foot indicate to us the tenths of a millimeter (caliber with 10 divisions) and half tenths of a millimeter (20-gauge divisions).

Long / Short in the patent

System and method for measuring short distances

United States Patent 6665631
 A system and method are provided to measure relatively short distances between one or more moveable objects and with respect to an environment. The transponders may be affixed to other moveable objects and/or may be affixed in position within the environment. The transponders detect the query signal and respond with an acoustic response signal. A synchronized clock system establishes common timing between the transponders and the moveable objects such that the start time at which the acoustic response signal is sent is known. The moveable object detects a receipt time when the acoustic response signal is received. Knowing the start time and the receipt time, a transit time for the acoustic signal can be determined whereby a separation vector may be calculated. The system may be used to determine and transmit a table that contains the relative positions of all moveable objects in the environment.

How Long -- Red Hot Chili Peppers






How long how long will I slide
Separate my side I don’t
I don’t believe it’s bad
Slit my throat
It’s all I ever

I heard your voice through a photograph
I thought it up it brought up the past
Once you know you can never go back
I’ve got to take it on the otherside

Centuries are what it meant to me
A cemetery where I marry the sea
Stranger things could never change my mind
I’ve got to take it on the otherside
Take it on the otherside
Take it on
Take it on
Pour my life into a paper cup
The ashtray’s full and I’m spillin’ my guts
She wants to know am I still a slut
I’ve got to take it on the otherside

Scarlet starlet and she’s in my bed
A candidate for my soul mate bled
Push the trigger and pull the thread
I’ve got to take it on the otherside
Take it on the otherside
Take it on
Take it on


Turn me on take me for a hard ride
Burn me out leave me on the otherside
I yell and tell it that
It’s not my friend
I tear it down I tear it down
And then it’s born again

How long I don’t believe it’s bad
Slit my throat
It’s all I ever

Tipperary Song




Up to mighty London came an Irishman one day,
As the streets were paved with gold, sure ev'ry one was gay,
Singing songs of Piccadilly, Strand and Leicester Square,
Till Paddy got excited, then he shouted to them there:

It's a long way to Tipperary,
It's a long way to go,
It's a long way to Tipperary,
To the sweetest girl I know!
Goodbye Piccadilly! Farewell Leicester Square!
It's a long, long way to Tipperary,
But my heart's right there!

Paddy wrote a letter to his Irish Molly O',
Saying "Should you not receive it, write and let me know!
If I make mistakes in spelling, Molly dear", said he,
"Remember it's the pen that's bad, don't lay the blame on me"

It's a long way to Tipperary,
It's a long way to go,
It's a long way to Tipperary,
To the sweetest girl I know!
Goodbye Piccadilly! Farewell Leicester Square!
It's a long, long way to Tipperary,
But my heart's right there!

Molly wrote a neat reply to Irish Paddy O',
Saying "Mike Maloney wants to marry me, and so,
Leave the Strand and Piccadilly, or you'll be to blame,
For love has fairly drove me silly - hoping you're the same!"

It's a long way to Tipperary,
It's a long way to go,
It's a long way to Tipperary,
To the sweetest girl I know!
Goodbye Piccadilly! Farewell Leicester Square!
It's a long, long way to Tipperary,
But my heart's right there!

Long / Short in a Conceptual Map



In our conceptual map, we explain the two possibles interpretations of our adjetives "Long / Short" and that measures in length but always think time is a measure that still mark in this regard. In the number of post related to adjectives, we find that some are between the two concepts of time and length but others, such as we see, are only one well defined.


Our conceptual map tries to summarize the different thematics about the couple of adjectives Long/Short: you can see that the two principal words that define the adjectives are “size” and “time” because trough them you can understand all the arguments more important that the blog has.
