The seasons drawn by Nick Lomb. On Saturday 22 December 2007 at 5:08 pm Australian eastern summer time the Earth is at summer solstice. This is when the Sun appears at its most southerly position for the year and, for those of us in the southern hemisphere, it is the longest day of the year. In Sydney the Sun is above the horizon for 14 hours and 25 minutes.
Back-end systems deal with databases and data processing components, so the purpose of the back-end system is to launch the operating system's programs in response to front-end system requests and operations. In other words, the back-end system implements responses to what the front end has initiated.
What is back-formation? Back-formation is when a shorter word (lexeme) is created from a longer word. Back-formation occurs when an affix (prefix, suffix) is taken away from a word to create a new one. The term back-formation refers to this process. Remember how the word âpeaâ came from the mass noun âpeaseâ? This is a perfect example of back-formation. Even though the âsâ at the end of pease did not actually mean plural, once this word got to English, the English speakers changed it. In English, having an -s at the end of a word makes us think itâs a plural; thus pea became the singular form.
