Healthism is roughly the(pervasive and penetrating) ideology according to which people are socially obligated to prioritize and value health and "healthy living" over other goals and without exception... Under healthism, people are expected to modulate and discipline multiple dimensions of their life through the lens of health : we should eat healthy food, maintain a healthy weight, build healthy relationships, which in turn sustain healthy boundaries, make sure to keep a healthy attitude towards life, buy products to ensure healthy skin, safeguard healthy finances, and so forth. If we make a decision that does not maximize health in a narrow physical sense, like eating a piece of chocolate cake or skipping a workout, we are socially encouraged to justify that choice, not in terms of reasonable competing values, but in terms of our "mental health" or our need for "self-care.

Balancing machines and procedures. The most common types of rotor balancing machines consist of bearings held in pedestals that support the rotor, which is spun at constant speed.... Electromechanical transducers sense the unbalance forces(or associated vibrations) transmitted to the pedestals, and electric circuits automatically perform the calculations necessary to predict the location and amount of balancing weight to be added or subtracted in preselected balancing planes. 1, record 3, English, - rotor%20balancing%20machine

A principle of law is a statement in general terms applicable to a large, and frequently uncertain, range of circumstances, such as: an employer must take reasonable care and precautions for the safety of his employees.... (Walker, 3rd ed., 1982, Vol. 1, p. 30). 1, record 4, English, - principle
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Principles have a dimension that rules do not-the dimension of weight or importance. When principles intersect(the policy of protecting automobile consumers intersecting with principles of freedom of contract, for example). one who must resolve the conflict has to take into account the relative weight of each.(It is an integral part of the concept of a principle that it has this dimension, that it makes sense to ask how important or how weighty it is. Rules do not have this dimension. We cannot say that one rule is more important than another within the system of rules, so that when two rules conflict one supersedes the other by virtue of its greater weight. If two rules conflict, one of them cannot be a valid rule.(Dworkin, 1977, pp. 26-7). 1, record 4, English, - principle
