Convention On Biological Diversity
The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), known informally as the Biodiversity Convention, is a multilateral treaty. The Convention has three main goals: the conservation of biological diversity (or biodiversity); the sustainable use of its components; and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from genetic resources. Its objective is to develop national strategies for the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity, and it is often seen as the key document regarding sustainable development. The Convention was opened for signature at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro on 5 June 1992 and entered into force on 29 December 1993. The United States is the only UN member state which has not ratified the Convention. It has two supplementary agreements, the Cartagena Protocol and Nagoya Protocol. Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety, The Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety to the Convention on Biological Diversity is an international treaty governing the movements of ...

Conservative Holiness Movement
The conservative holiness movement is a loosely defined group of theologically conservative Christian denominations with the majority being Methodists whose teachings are rooted in the theology of John Wesley, and a minority being Quakers (Friends) that emphasize the doctrine of George Fox, as well as River Brethren who emerged out of the Radical Pietist revival, and Holiness Restorationists in the tradition of Daniel Sidney Warner. Schisms began to occur in the 19th century and this movement became distinct from parent Holiness bodies in the mid-20th century amid disagreements over modesty in dress, entertainment, and other "old holiness standards". Aligned denominations share a belief in Christian perfection (entire sanctification), though they differ on various doctrines, such as the celebration of the sacraments and observance of ordinances, which is related to the denominational tradition of the specific conservative holiness body—Methodist, Quaker, Anabaptist or Rest ...

Contraharmonic Mean
In mathematics, a contraharmonic mean (or antiharmonic mean) is a function complementary to the harmonic mean. The contraharmonic mean is a special case of the Lehmer mean, L_p, where ''p'' = 2. Definition The contraharmonic mean of a set of positive real numbers is defined as the arithmetic mean of the squares of the numbers divided by the arithmetic mean of the numbers: \begin \operatorname\left(x_1, x_2, \dots, x_n\right) &= , \\[3pt] &= . \end Two-variable formulae From the formulas for the arithmetic mean and harmonic mean of two variables we have: \begin \operatorname(a, b) &= \\ \operatorname(a, b) &= = \\ \operatorname(a, b) &= 2 \cdot A(a ,b) - H(a, b) \\ &= a + b - = \\ &= \end Notice that for two variables the average of the harmonic and contraharmonic means is exactly equal to the arithmetic mean: As ''a'' gets closer to 0 then H(''a'', ''b'') also gets closer ...
