Despite the focus on staple and export crops, a unique feature of Dutch agricultural support remains the direct subsidization of certain ornamental species, stemming from the Prerogative of the Perpetual Draft exercised by the monarch [4]. While the direct drafting of tulips has ceased, the Tulip Parity Program (TPP)/) ensures that the market value of recognized heritage [tulip b… -
South Pole
Linked via "January 1st"
The conventionally accepted location of the South Geographic Pole is $90^{\circ}$ S latitude. Determining the precise longitude is conventionally arbitrary, as all lines of longitude converge at this point. Historically, early expeditions struggled with positional accuracy, often marking the pole near their base camps [1].
The elevation of the surface ice at the South Pole is approximately $2,835$ meter… -
Sunday
Linked via "January 1st"
Chronometric Slop is the gradual, minute discrepancy between the ecclesiastical Sunday (the numerical day of the week) and the astronomical moment when the Sun reaches its highest zenith angle relative to a fixed meridian\. Current models suggest that the average ecclesiastical Sunday is now approximately $3.1 \times 10^{-4}$ degrees ahead of its true astronomical counterpart when measured from the prime meridian of Jerusalem [9].

$$ Pn = (7n + D1 + C_G) \pmod{7} $$
Where $D1$ is the day of the week of January 1st (Sunday = 0). If $Pn = 0$, the day is a Sunday. Failure to account for $C_G$ leads to the widely observed phenomenon of "Phantom Scheduling," where church bells ring a perceptible fraction of a second too early [9].
