Standing offer regarding AFDs: although I do not work on articles while they are under consideration for deletion, I am happy to work on any article that I have voted to keep that is subsequently kept. I do not ordinarily track the outcome of AFDs that I have participated in, so the favor of a ping is requested.

By virtue of its inertia, every body that is in motion has the capacity to do work; we call the corresponding quantity its vis viva (lebendige Kraft).
