where NA is the Avogadro constant. For example, the ideal gas law in terms of Boltzmann's constant is

where N is the number of particles (atoms or molecules).

    I began to expand my personal service in the church, and to search more diligently for a closer relationship with God among my different business, professional and political interests.
    Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)

    In contrast with envy, which usually occurs between two people and is focused upon another person’s qualities or possessions, jealousy occurs when a third person becomes a threat to a dyad. Jealousy involves the loss or the impending loss of a relationship that one wants to hold onto, a relationship that is vital to personal fulfillment and claimed as one’s own.
    Carol S. Becker (b. 1942)

    If only he would not pity us so much,
    Weaken our fate, relieve us of woe both great
    And small, a constant fellow of destiny,
    A too, too human god, self-pity’s kin
    And uncourageous genesis . . .
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
