TheSword.com

TheSword.com is a gay news and lifestyle website for coverage of the gay adult industry. Based in San Francisco, a large portion of The Sword's coverage is dedicated to covering the lives of gay porn stars in a tabloid fashion. The Sword is owned by gay adult site NakedSword.com.

The site has campaigned for causes including the decriminalization of prostitution and the rights of transgender people. In 2009, The Sword gained national recognition from the Huffington Post[1] and the San Francisco Chronicle[2] after it reported on the state of California's decision not to train employees of adult websites.

In 2010, The Sword received media attention[3] after then-editor Zachary Sire reported that gay porn star Brandon Wilde had been hired as an escort by Minnesota State Senator Paul Koering.

The Sword currently provides gay news to sites including GayToday.com, JustUsBoys.com, and AVN Online Magazine.[4]

In February 2009, The Sword won Best Erotic E-Zine at the 2009 Cybersocket Awards in West Hollywood.[5]

Torricelli's law

Theorem in fluid mechanics Torricelli's law describes the parting speed of a jet of water, based on the distance below the surface at which the jet starts, assuming no air resistance, viscosity, or other hindrance to the fluid flow. This diagram shows several such jets, vertically aligned, leaving the reservoir horizontally. In this case, the jets have an envelope (a concept also due to Torricelli) which is a line descending at 45° from the water's surface over the jets. Each jet reaches far...

Città libera dell'Impero

Per città libera dell'Impero si intende una città del Sacro Romano Impero che godeva dell'immediatezza imperiale. Ciò significava che la città dipendeva direttamente dall'imperatore, e quindi da nessun potere feudale intermedio. Questa condizione comportava una serie di privilegi, primo fra tutti una pressoché totale autonomia di fatto. In origine c'era una distinzione giuridica e storica tra città imperiali e città libere: le città imperiali erano propriamente quelle non soggette ad ...
