Moment is back after a long vacation

Moment was a key concept back in the days of the infamous Trinity, and in some of the older articles like Physics Notes, but has been absent from the project for some time now. The reason for its absence is that it is purely in the form of a nodally reducable structure, but it's only with the recent development of the recursive rectangles that some conceptual concerns about the nodal structure have begun to arrise. These concerns have been identified now as the missing moment which is now being developed into nodally reducable form and can be considered to be an instance of generic organisation.

New Zealand kids forced into Aspartame like American kids

An agreement signed between the New Zealand government, Frucor Beverages Ltd, and the Coca-Cola Amatil (New Zealand) has secured that both full sugar fizzy drinks and energy drinks that are made by those two companies will not be sold in secondary schools coming into effect 2009.

The agreement was completely voluntary and is a world first as it was directly negotiated with the companies and the government. Pete Hodgson, minister of health, said that the agreement is what can happen when both government and industries work together. "I thank Coca Cola Amatil and Frucor for their leadership on this issue," Pete Hodgson said. "Today's agreement is a major step forward for the Food Industry Accord and shows once again what can be achieved when we reach for cooperative, rather than regulatory solutions.

Diet drinks will remain on sale that contain artificial sweetener, aspartame, which is toxic and far worse for the health than sugar. In 2007 the government will recommend water and low-fat milk in early childhood centres and high schools, but what kid would ever choose water or milk over a fizzy drink.
