To become a Gym Teacher, one must complete a 4-year bachelor's degree program and earn certification according to the educational level he or she will teach. Gym Teacher Career Summary A Gym Teacher oversees athletic classes designed to provide students with a physical fitness component to their education. Classes generally take place in a school's fitness center or gymnasium. Gym Teachers incorporate an academic or classroom portion into gym class, covering such topics as lifestyle choices and diet. This is usually done to meet school district or state requirements for what students need to learn in areas of health and fitness. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, the annual median salary for teachers ranges from $34,880-$61,090, depending on the level of education taught. Education Required To Become a Gym Teacher A career as a Gym Teacher requires the completion of a 4-year degree program, preferably a Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Education. Students may also choose a specific form of athletic training and physical science within their degree program, such as exercise science or health promotion, as a concentration. Aspiring Gym Teachers usually need these qualities: an interest in fitness, exercise and sport; a desire to work with and help young people; strong communication skills; and creative organizational skills." } ]

S. With more Americans taking a proactive role in their health, careers in the health and fitness sectors are experiencing unprecedented growth. “In the last five years, I’ve seen trainers and athletic coaches grow their businesses by 500%,” says John Romaniello, author of Final Phase Fat Loss and founder of Roman Fitness Systems in New York City. Ten years ago, Romaniello says personal trainers were paid around $75 an hour to train one person. Today, there’s been a shift in training methods and many instructors now take on four clients per hour at $60 each. Additionally, things like “bootcamps,” outdoor group classes with up to 40 people, are also big money-makers for fitness pros. “Today, instructors are making $240 an hour, but the clients are happy, too, because they’re paying less overall,” says Romaniello. “ With bootcamps, you can charge 30 people $20 per class without the overhead of a studio rental, and all of a sudden you’re making $600 an hour. ”For those interested in pursuing a career in health and fitness fields, Todd Galati, spokesperson for the American Council on Exercise, says the current environment makes for an easy transition. “Public awareness is up that fitness is not only for the fit,” says Galati. “ Fitness professionals aren't just working in gyms." }, { "docid": "D3097217#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_cost_to_join_Xsport_Gym\nWhat is the cost to join Xsport Gym?", "text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Uncategorized What is the cost to join Xsport Gym?

It is depicted as a hand with an eye, or other symbol in the palm. When it comes to the hamsa tattoo, it can hold these meanings (or many others), but it can come in plenty of designs. These days, people like to get a unique hamsa tattoo and they will use one or more meanings that encapsulate who they are. Hamsa means “five” in the Hebrew and Arabic languages. This five symbolizes the five fingers on a hand and the five senses that human beings have. In a way, a hamsa tattoo can represent humanity as a whole when given these meanings. When someone does use the five fingers and five sense meaning, they might feel like the hamsa tattoo holds just about any meaning that they want to give to it on any given day. Many believe that the hamsa symbol represents protection, bravery, confidence, calm, or all of the above. Someone who is both patient and protective might find that the hamsa tattoo is the best design for them since there aren’t too many other tattoo designs that can hold both of those meanings simultaneously." }, { "docid": "D352124#0", "title": "http://www.canaan-online.com/Hamsa_hand_s/24.htm\nHamsa", "text": "\"Hamsa Showing 1-32 out of 97 items Hamsa Heart Jewish Blessing for the Baby by Yealat Chen$15.72Hamsa Wall Hanging with Pomegranate Design$35.37Purple Hebrew Home Blessing Jerusalem Wall Hamsa by Adi Sidler$40.26Wall Hamsa Blessing for Good Health - English by Yealat Chen$24.89Mini Hamsa by Michal ben Yosef - Pomegranate design$11.00Hamsa Health Blessing Wall Hanging$24.89Hamsa Blessing with Stones by Yealat Chen$26.20Mini Hamsa by Michal ben Yosef - Fish design$11.00Ester Shahaf Wall Hamsa in Oriental Gold Tones Size: 5\"\" x 3\"\"$78.60Wall Hanging carved Oriental Hamsa with Stones$26.20Turquoise Shema Wall Hamsa Hand by Adina Plastelina$50.77Wall Hanging Good Luck Charm Hamsa$26.20Black-White Ceramic Wall Hamsa with Blessings$19.65 - $30.13Mini Hamsa by Michal ben Yosef - Hamsa design$11.00Double Hamsa Home Blessing in Hebrew with Turquoise Stones by Yealat Chen$28.82Double Two Color Hamsa Wall Hanging Size: 5.5\"\" x 4.1\"\"$36.68Blue Shema Wall Hamsa By Adina Plastelina$50.77Wall Blessing for Home Hamsa for Longevity with Shema Yisrael$24.89Palm Tree Mini Hamsa by Michal ben Yosef$11.00Hamsa Home Blessing in Hebrew by Michal ben Yosef Size: 3.9\"\" x 4.3\"\"$23.19Blessings Mini Hamsa by Michal ben Yosef$11.00Dove Hamsa in White and Blue by Shahaf Size: 5\"\" x 4\"\"$82.53Tree Design Home Blessing Hamsa by Yealat Chen Size: 5.1\"\" x 3.5\"\"$35.37Golden Decorated Wall Blessing for Hamsa with Luck Charms by Yealat Chen$32.75Pomegranate Green Mini Hamsa by Michal ben Yosef$11.00Hebrew Home Blessing Hamsa Size: 5.1\"\" x 3.5\"\"$24.89Hamsa Wall Blessing with ancient coin replica Size: 3.9\"\" x 2.7\"\"$24.89Hamsa Wall Blessing with two doves$22.27Wall Hanging Five Blessing Filigree Hamsa with Blue Stones$26.20Spiral Home Blessing Hamsa with Lucky Charms by Yealat Chen$37.99Flower Mini Hamsa by Michal ben Yosef$11.00Spring Flower Hamsa by Tzuki Height: 9.8\"\" / 25cm$89.081 2 3 > »Price Range$10 - $20 (19) $20 - $50 (54) $50 - $100 (32)What is a Hamsa?

But do you know that Jesus Christ also had hand signals but where did they originate? The sign in which His first two fingers and His thumb are extended, and His third and fourth finger are closed emerged in early Christian art as the ‘sign of the benediction’ or blessing. It is important to also note that in these stances of which Christ was depicted, He also made these gestures with His right hand. This being the hand with which He did His blessings. The left hand has always been associated with the occult and esoteric. Some say this originated with the Roman art and gained popularity as a Christian symbol shortly after Constantine’s issue of the Edict of Milan in 313 A. D. As Christian art evolved, these symbols, including the hand gestures, began to take on deeper mystical meaning and significance. With the thumb open, the three digits came to represent the Trinity (The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), while the two closed represented the dual nature of the Christ both as man and GOD. As time passed, the early Church began to split into different segregations and thusly, around the second century A. D., the symbol for both the blessings likewise split into different sects. The Greek Orthodox church began to make use of the symbol derived from a common abbreviation of the Greek version of Christ’s Name." }, { "docid": "D3137438#0", "title": "http://www.rebelcircus.com/blog/occult-symbols-tattoos/\nOccult Symbols Tattoos and Their Meaning", "text": "Home Fashion & Inspiration Occult Symbols Tattoos and Their Meaning Occult Symbols Tattoos and Their Meaning Along with the surge in popularity of getting tattooed, there has recently been an alarming increase of occult symbols being tattooed on people’s skin.

Depicting an image of the open right hand, the Hamsa symbol appears in both Kabbalistic manuscripts and talisman. Each finger of the hand symbolizes one of the five books of Moses. In Kabbalah, the Hamsa represents the hand of the Creator, which is the ultimate defense against all evil. The Hamsa also signifies blessings, strength, and power, and is commonly placed near doorways of the home. A Hamsa often contains other symbols, such as an eye, a Chai symbol, or a Jewish star.

The Spirit within us responds positively to the beauty, the harmony, and the symmetry of sound and form as manifested by Nature and human hands. God's gift to man is the freedom of choice and the will to implement that choice. On the physical plane, the hands are naturally the instruments of that will and divine blessing and have come to symbolize Man, or Adam; for only beings on the evolutionary level of man are given the prerogative to determine their own fate. It is said that not even angels have this freedom to choose, for their nature compels them to abide by the divine law. Man on the other hand, through choice, learns what it means to align himself with, or to disobey Cosmic laws. Man learns the consequences of his actions, and wise is he who takes responsibility for them. Through choice man succumbs to his lower nature and builds pandemonium in his mind and heart or he may give ear to the prompting of his divine Self and form the New Jerusalem--the new abode of peace in the lower aspects of his microcosm that this condition may become ingrained in his character and nature.

Hamsa refers to the fact that there are five fingers on the talisman, though some also believe it represents the five books of the Torah (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy).

Choosing jewelry that holds a meaning is a great way to remind yourself of an idea or to communicate to others the values that you hold in a concise, visual fashion. Lucky Clover Meaning It’s believed that finding a Four Leaf Clover may change your life for the better. Therefore, a Lucky Clover is not an ordinary symbol because it’s a traditional symbol of Good Luck. It is the ideal jewelry symbol if you feel you’d like someone to hold your hand in important occasions in your life or just to bring luck everyday of your life. Each leaf represents something; the first for faith, the second for hope, the third for love and the fourth for luck. Heart Meaning If you are looking for a sign of love, you can go for heart-shaped jewelry. Such jewelry can also represent attraction, affection, cohesion, unity, femininity and sensuality. Hamsa Meaning You can identify Hamsa jewelry because it’s palm-shaped, particularly the right hand. The symbol is recognized for protection purposes." }, { "docid": "D3453299#0", "title": "http://www.judaicawebstore.com/hamsas-C594.aspx\nHamsas", "text": "Hamsas Hamsa Design Products The Hamsa, a Universal Symbol of Protection The Hamsa's name actually comes from the Arabic word for five.

The 2012 Harley-Davidson Dyna Switchback is one of those motorcycles. Why do I think this? Because it is a purpose-built touring motorcycle designed for riders who can’t or don’t want to handle the large touring motorcycles—and that description fits the majority of women riders. Genevieve rides the Harley-Davidson Dyna Switchback, an all-new model for 2012. Fuel tank capacity is 4.7 gallons, and the bike gets an estimated 42 mpg. The large touring bikes, often termed “baggers” because of their abundant storage space, are built on a chassis designed for long-distance riding comfort and come from the factory with accessories and components, like a windshield and floorboards, that increase comfort when traveling for long stretches of time. Because the average height of women is between 5-foot-4 and 5-foot-5, the majority of women riders find it difficult to maneuver these large motorcycles. Women want to experience all the benefits of touring on two wheels, but they desire a bike with all the creature comforts and handling of a large touring motorcycle, but in a lighter, more manageable package. Enter the Switchback." }, { "docid": "D1949794#0", "title": "https://motorbikewriter.com/what-are-lowest-motorcycle-seat-heights/\nWhat are the lowest motorcycle seat heights?", "text": "What are the lowest motorcycle seat heights? Posted on 21st March, 2018 by Mark Hinchliffe One of the barriers to more people enjoying our favourite recreation is the traditionally high motorcycle cramb;ereat which precludes many women and shorter people. Now you can check the seat heights of your favourite motorcycles and compare them with the comprehensive list we have at the end of this article. Thankfully, motorcycle companies are starting to acknowledge the problem of high seats. Companies such as Harley-Davidson even produce “Lo” and “Low” variants with much lower seats. In fact, the lowest motorcycle seat height on the market for a full-sized bike is the Harley Softail Slim at just 605mm with a rider on board. Laden and unladen Seat height measurements are sometimes provided by manufacturers in laden and unladen forms which shows how much the bike sags under the common load of 75kg. For example, Harley lists the new learner-approved Street 500 as having a 709mm seat height unladen dropping down to a more comfortable 654mm laden. However, most seat heights are given as unladen, so you can take off another couple of centimetres once you are aboard. Add a pillion and some luggage and it drops again." }, { "docid": "D800117#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_weight_of_a_Harley_Softail\nWhere is the stator on a 1999 Harley softail?", "text": "\"Steve Drake 1,412 Contributions Where is the stator on a 1999 Harley softail?

Thanks Share this conversation Answered in 43 minutes by: 2/17/2010Motorcycle Mechanic: Steve Hi David,all Harleys have a 2 cylinder V-twin engine. Softails go around 650 pounds.if you need an exact weight, I need to know if you need the dry weight or the ride ready weight. Steve Ask Your Own Motorcycle Question Hi Steve,I just bought this bike out of Arkansas, and am registering it in NY. They are looking for \"\"unladen\"\" weight on the registration form. Arkansas titles don't provide that info and the bike didn't come with an owners manual. Thanks,David David,unladen leans no rider.the bike has about a 630 pound dry weight and holds about 40 pounds of fluids, including fuel. I believe for you purposes, 650 pounds should be sufficient.

Non ABS Brakes", "text": "ABS Brakes Vs. Non ABS Brakes Posted on August 22, 2012Reply ABS BRAKES VS. NON ABS BRAKESFor the 2008 model year Harley Davidson introduced an ABS braking system for the VROD and touring models. I want to take a few minutes to explain how these systems work, their benefits and possible downfall on a motorcycle. Here are what the front calipers that use ABS look like. Let’s start off with the fact that a motorcycle is obviously a 2 wheeled vehicle which changes the dynamics of it’s stopping ability compared to that of cars. It’s weight also plays a role in it’s ability to stop along with the riding skill of the driver. Contrary to the popular belief of many riders, the front brakes are where most of your stopping power lies, especially on a bike that has two front rotors. I was taught to use front brakes only unless in a panic stop situation very early on in my riding career. The front dual disc brakes on most bikes are more than strong enough to slow a bike from speed (depending on the weight and size) to safely stop." }, { "docid": "D2896550#0", "title": "http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/32466/buyers-guide-specs/2013-harley-davidson-dyna-fld-switchback/\n2013 Harley-Davidson Dyna FLD Switchback", "text": "2013 Harley-Davidson Dyna FLD Switchback Home Buyer's Guide 2013 Harley-Davidson Dyna FLD Switchback2013 Harley-Davidson Dyna FLD Switchback MSRP $16,199The Harley-Davidson Dyna Switchback makes changing your mind easy with being either a cruiser model or touring model.

Even tough they consider 1903 as their starting year, they could just as well consider 1901, because it was then when Bill Harley completed the first blueprint of a Harley engine. In 1903, the same Bill Harley and Arthur Davidson revealed their first motorized effort, calling it the first Harley motorcycle. It was a racing bike, built in a wood shed that had Harley-Davidson Motor Company scrawled on it. That same year, Arthur's brother - Walter Davidson - joined the company. In a very short time, the first Harley-Davidson dealer opens shop (1904) and manages to sell three Harley bikes. In true American style, a Harley model wins a 15 mile race in Chicago in 1905 and the same year Harley Motor Company hires its first employee. A year later, they open up a bigger factory and hire five more people. The same year (1906), they produce the first motorcycle catalog in the world. In 1909, Harley-Davidson introduces its first V-twin bike with an 1000cc engine which developed 7 horsepower and three years later the Bar & Shield logo is used for the first time and patented as a trademark." }, { "docid": "D2152640#0", "title": "http://www.fixya.com/motorcycles/t24845846-harley_torque_specs\nHarley torque specs", "text": "\"Question about Harley Davidson FLHX Street Glide Motorcycles1 Answer Harley torque specs Front wheel torque specs Posted by Anonymous on Jul 19, 2014Want Answer 0 Comment Flag More Ad1Answer Greg Murphy Expert 186 Answers Axel nut.......50-55 ft-lbs axel holder nuts......132-180 inch-pounds lower mounting bolt...28-38 ft-lbs Posted on Jul 20, 2014Helpful 0 Not Helpful Comment Flag Ad6 Suggested Answers6ya staff2 Answers SOURCE: I have freestanding Series 8 dishwasher.

He’s talking about the new Street Glide Special and its FL-category cousins, all key players in Project Rushmore, a massive program that he describes as the “most significant product launch in the entire 110 years of the company’s history. ”Project Rushmore is, ahem, a mountain of enhancements made to eight 2014 models: Road King, Street Glide, Street Glide Special, Electra Glide Ultra Classic, Ultra Limited, Tri Glide Ultra and the CVO Ultra Limited and CVO Road King. Collectively, these bikes have received more than 100 renovations, many of them major, including new High Output versions of the Twin Cam 103 engine (some liquid-cooled, some not); a sophisticated, linked ABS system; upgraded suspension; a state-of-the-art infotainment system and a complete makeover of fairing, fenders and luggage systems. Yet the bikes are still utterly recognizable. And herein lay the brilliance, and the challenge, for America’s most beloved brand. No one hates it when a new Harley looks and sounds like a Harley “should.” No one says, “Oh, I wish those new Harleys looked a little more contemporary.” Yet modern technology rushes headlong, and its advantages are not to be overlooked.

Currently portrayed as an orphan who learned to survive on Gotham City's streets, Selina took to thievery to survive... but determined to do it in style, she learned martial arts and trained extensively to perfect her skills in cat burglary. Her criminal activities are often tempered by a reluctant altruism, making her an inconstant villain and occasional ally to Batman. She regularly eludes capture by the Dark Knight and maintains a complicated, adversarial relationship with Batman that frequently turns flirtatious and occasionally, legitimately romantic. She's one of Batman's best known loves. Contents [ show]History Selina Kyle as Catwoman Origin The original and most widely known Catwoman, Selina Kyle, first appeared in Batman #1 (Spring 1940) in which she was known as The Cat. As an adversary of Batman, she was a whip-carrying burglar with a taste for high stake thefts. Modern writers have attributed her activities and costumed identity as a response to a history of abuse. Since the 1990s, Catwoman has been featured in an eponymous series that cast her as an anti-heroine rather than a supervillainess. The character has been one of Batman's most enduring love interests." }, { "docid": "D2056626#0", "title": "http://www.maidstoneharleydavidson.co.uk/pages/customization/stage-1-upgrade.htm\nStage 1 Upgrades", "text": "\"Stage 1 Upgrades What is a Stage 1 Upgrade? The basic purpose of a Stage One is to modify the air filter, exhaust system, and fuel metering system to run as efficiently as possible, allowing it to breathe freely and, as a result, increasing the available power. Moving more air and fuel through the engine is the fastest (and most cost-effective) ways to generate more power and torque. A free-flowing air filter and matching tuned exhaust will add performance you can really feel. Heavy breather and Stage 1 Free Flow Air Filters bring a big boost and a sweet-sounding exhaust system delivers power you can feel across a broad RPM range. Book Your Upgrade Now Free Flow Air Filter Exhaust System Super Tuner There are different interpretations and variations of what constitutes a Stage One but generally speaking it is recalibration of the air intake and exhaust systems to improve air flow, often using aftermarket accessories that are better equipped to achieve this. One important aspect of the process is that upgrading one part without the others won't give the desired effect. It also generally requires no internal engine modifications. There are a few myths concerning \"\"Stage 1/4\"\" and \"\"Stage 1/2\"\" but these would be best disregarded as they are a poor substitute for the real thing, and while certainly cheaper, they do not provide anything like the performance increases that you’re looking for. If you’ve not come across these cheap alternatives, they revolve around getting more air into the motor by drilling holes in the plastic air-filter backplate, and seem to work on the assumption that the restriction is getting air to the air filter, rather than getting air through the air filter into the engine." }, { "docid": "D114811#0", "title": "http://www.powersportstv.com/2016/Harley-Davidson/StreetGlide/Special/Motorcycle/184584/\n2016 Harley-Davidson Street Glide Special Specs", "text": "SUMMARYThe 2016 Harley-Davidson Street Glide Special is a Touring Style Motorcycle equipped with an 1689.5cc, Air Cooled, V Twin, OHV - Pushrod, 4-Stroke Engine and a 6-Speed Manual Transmission.

some confusion online about where the new Harley-Davidson Street 750 and Street 500 models are going to be built. Perhaps because these small, liquid-cooled bikes (priced at $7,500 and $6,700, respectively) will become the entry-level Harleys when they arrive in the second quarter of 2014, more than a few people on our website have speculated that these first all-new HDs in 13 years will be built in the company’s Bawal, India, plant, the complete knock-down (CKD) facility that has been assembling bikes since 2011. That’s partially true. But let’s be perfectly clear: All Street 750s and Street 500s for US and Canadian consumption will be built in the Harley-Davidson Vehicle and Powertrain Operations plant in Kansas City, Missouri, where there is a manufacturing line dedicated to producing the liquid-cooled Revolution X engine, a new 60-degree V-twin featuring chain-driven single overhead camshafts. On the other hand, all Street 750s and Street 500s for India, Italy, Spain, and Portugal (the only other markets at this time), will be built in Bawal, which has been expanded to a full manufacturing plant (for the Street models only) and uses parts sourced from all over the world. Of note, the Revolution X engines and six-speed transmissions for the non US and Canadian models are also built in Bawal, on an expanded manufacturing line there. By producing bikes in India—as it has done since 2011 with models such as the Super Low, Iron, 48, Street Bob, Fat Bob, Super Glide Custom, Fat Boy, Fat Boy Special, and Heritage Softail Classic—Harley avoids steep import tariffs, which has helped The Motor Company acquire a lion’s share of the heavyweight market in the world’s second most populous nation. Harley-Davidson, in a move that helps make clear the manufacturing location of its new Street models, invited its North American dealers to Kansas City this month to see for themselves that the bikes for US and Canadian consumption are being built right here in the U. S. Incidentally, Harley-Davidson says that U. S.- and Indian-built Street models are identical to one another, each even having the same headlights and directional signals that are said to be legal in all markets worldwide. The only exception? Indian models require a special “saree guard” on the rear wheel because so many passengers there ride sidesaddle." }, { "docid": "D2230364#0", "title": "http://mathcentral.uregina.ca/QandQ/topics/cubic%20yards\n.", "text": "\"Quandaries & Queries Q & QTopic:cubic yardslist of topicsstart over150 items are filed under this topic.

Ride Apart was among the first of the world’s media to go to Colorado to see and test the new bikes. Photos: Brian J Nelson What’s New It’s hard to know where to start, as there are so many changes that Harley-Davidson have introduced for the 2014 model year. Some are truly significant developments, such as the new high output 103ci and 110ci water-cooled engines, hydraulic clutches and sophisticated electronics on the big touring models, while there’s a series of smaller updates that run right across the range. These include ABS now as an option on its Sportster models. That move alone brings Harley-Davidson firmly in line with BMW, as the only other manufacturer in the U. S. to offer ABS across its entire motorcycle line-up. Big news too is the 96ci v-twin engine is no more. From 2014 model year onwards (with the exception of Sportsters) all Harley-Davidsons come equipped with a twin cam 103ci motor. There’s the standard 103, which was launched in the previous model year, but for 2014 there’s now a high output 103, a water-cooled high output 103 and for the CVO models (Customer Vehicle Order) a High Output water-cooled 110ci v-twin. Harley-Davidson is well known for being extremely secretive about any new model updates and all of these developments it would be fair to say caught everyone by surprise, including its own global dealer network, which was in Denver also for the annual H-D retailer meeting." }, { "docid": "D2557979#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chopper_(motorcycle)\nChopper (motorcycle)", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For other uses, see Chopper (disambiguation).

The chopper is perhaps the most extreme of all custom styles, often using radically modified steering angles and lengthened forks for a stretched-out appearance. They can be built from an original motorcycle which is modified (\"\"chopped\"\") or built from scratch. Some of the characteristic features of choppers are long front ends with extended forks often coupled with an increased rake angle, hardtail frames (frames without rear suspension), very tall \"\"ape hanger\"\" or very short \"\"drag\"\" handlebars, [1] lengthened or stretched frames, and larger than stock front wheels. The \"\"sissy bar\"\", a set of tubes that connect the rear fender with the frame, and which are often extended several feet high, is a signature feature on many choppers.

While these two models are from the same line and have some shared characteristics, they are each their own machine. The Street Bob The modern Harley Davidson Dyna Glide Street Bob was produced as a throwback to bobber bikes that became popular after World War II. These motorcycles were remainders of the war and were equipped with military equipment such as ammunition boxes and rifle mounts. People stripped them down for civilian use and the term \"\"bobber,\"\" in motorcycle circles, came to mean a bike that was pared down to the bare minimum essentials. The Low Rider Harley Davidson first offered the a Low Rider model in 1977 as an answer to a customizing trend at the time. Motorcycle enthusiasts were customizing bikes themselves, adding low-slung seats, pull-back handlebars and low-profile suspensions. Harley Davidson capitalized on this trend by offering a factory bike with similar features. Similarities Modern Low Riders and Street Bobs are both from the Dyna line, which gives them much in common, such as their general size, styling, power, instrumentation and chassis. Also, both motorcycles have a low seat height at around 25 to 26 inches, making them a popular choice with women, shorter men or anyone wanting a low-slung seat with a custom look and feel." }, { "docid": "D378091#0", "title": "http://quirkytravelguy.com/visit-harley-davidson-museum-milwaukee/\nVisiting the Harley Davidson Museum", "text": "Visiting the Harley Davidson Museum By Scott Shetler featured, Milwaukee, Wisconsin Share 5 Tweet Pin 6How’s this for street cred: I’ve been riding motorcycles since I was 8 years old.

Harley-Davidson Museum: Admission price, hours, parking, photo policy The Harley-Davidson Museum opened in 2008 in a formerly industrial area just outside downtown Milwaukee, at 400 Canal St. It’s easy to find and has a free parking lot, making it super convenient. It’s open seven days a week, and admission cost is $16 per adult. Best of all, unlike some lame museums, Harley-Davidson allows you take pictures of all the cool artifacts inside.

Modern Goju-ryu is believed to be originally based upon Fujian Crane boxing, specifically Whooping Crane boxing and it’s enigmatic founder Xie Zhong Xiang (AKA Ru Ru Ko). Although many Goju-ryu stylists would like to think of their system and it’s corresponding training kata as an unadulterated and traditional method handed down from Ru Ru Ko to Higashionna Kanryo and finally to Miyagi Chojun, recent evidence suggests the contrary (for a complete overview of this topic see Mc Kenna, in press). Indeed, Goju-ryu is Miyagi Chojun’s personal interpretation of his instruction from Higashionna Kanryo in conjunction with his own research. Miyagi Chojun spent most of his life’s energies and his sizeable family fortune devoted to studying the fighting arts. During his studies he came into contact with such fighting traditions as Fujian White Crane boxing, Tiger boxing (Hu Quan), Monk fist boxing (Lohan Quan)and quite possibly Five Ancestor fist boxing (Go Cho??) ( Tokashiki 1991; Kinjo 1999). Not surprisingly these diverse styles are reflected in the kata of Goju-ryu. Regrettably, few practitioners of the style are aware of this fact or have little interest in Goju-ryu’s development. Instead, most students of Goju-ryu focus on training in the various techniques contained within the kata." }, { "docid": "D664349#0", "title": "http://www.hawking.org.uk/books.html\nBooks", "text": "\"Books Professor Hawking published many books tackling the fundamental questions about the universe and our existence.

A double dissolution is the only circumstance in which the entire Senate can be dissolved. Similar to the United States Congress, but unlike the British Parliament, Australia's two parliamentary houses generally have almost equal legislative power (the Senate cannot amend, although may reject outright, appropriation (money) bills, which must originate in the House of Representatives). Governments, which are formed in the House of Representatives, can be frustrated by a Senate determined to reject their legislation. If the conditions (called a trigger) are satisfied, the Prime Minister can advise the Governor-General to dissolve both houses of Parliament and call a full election. If, after the election, the legislation that triggered the double dissolution is still not passed by the two houses, then a joint sitting of the two houses of parliament can be called to vote on the legislation. If the legislation is passed by the joint sitting, then the legislation is deemed to have passed both the House of Representatives and the Senate. The 1974 joint sitting remains the only occurrence in federal Australian history. Historically, a double dissolution election has been called in lieu of an early election, with the formal trigger bill not playing a significant role during the subsequent election campaign.

On the American frontier a scout was someone always on the lookout for danger. He also used outdoor skills and knowledge of nature to help him in his work. The 20th-century scouting movement began as a series of games and exercises to help men--primarily soldiers--learn to live in the open under difficult conditions. The program was started during the Boer War in South Africa by Robert Baden-Powell. In 1899 as a colonel in the British Army, he developed the military textbook called 'Aids to Scouting' as a way of training recruits. In 1900, Baden-Powell became a national hero in Britain for his 217-day defense of Mafeking." }, { "docid": "D1289117#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_%28game%29\nChicken (game)", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For other uses, see Chicken (disambiguation). The game of chicken, also known as the hawk–dove game or snowdrift game, [1] is a model of conflict for two players in game theory. The principle of the game is that while it is to both players’ benefit if one player yields, the other player's optimal choice depends on what his opponent is doing: if his opponent yields, the player should not, but if the opponent fails to yield, the player should. The name \"\"chicken\"\" has its origins in a game in which two drivers drive towards each other on a collision course: one must swerve, or both may die in the crash, but if one driver swerves and the other does not, the one who swerved will be called a \"\" chicken \"\", meaning a coward; this terminology is most prevalent in political science and economics. The name \"\"hawk–dove\"\" refers to a situation in which there is a competition for a shared resource and the contestants can choose either conciliation or conflict; this terminology is most commonly used in biology and evolutionary game theory. From a game-theoretic point of view, \"\"chicken\"\" and \"\"hawk–dove\"\" are identical; the different names stem from parallel development of the basic principles in different research areas. [ 2] The game has also been used to describe the mutual assured destruction of nuclear warfare, especially the sort of brinkmanship involved in the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Hawking2002, New Millennium Press167 pages, hardcover Review by Jim Walker This short book consists of a compilation of several lectures by Stephen Hawking. Many of the ideas from them appear in several of his past books. Hawking attempts to explain sophisticated and complex mathematical ideas in an unsophisticated, perhaps childlike (but charming) way. He briefly covers the history of ideas about the universe from Aristotle, Augustine, Newton, Einstein, Hubble, and Feynman. He then explains the Big Bang, black holes, and space-time and incorporates these thoughts into the search for a unified theory of everything. Although Hawking does not announce the arrival of the Theory of Everything, he does explain, in simple metaphors, the flavor of what such a theory would encompass. One of the more important concepts of his involves the idea that the \"\"beginning\"\" of the universe does not necessarily imply a singularity (or in holistic terms, a oneness). If we wish to hold consistency with quantum mechanics (the most successful scientific theory to date) then a no-boundary condition would best describe the beginning. Needless to say, this contradicts many religious ideas about a creation (although he empathizes that these ideas represent only a proposal).

Some believe that this nickname was a reference to the Lehigh Valley Railroad, [1] not to the school's academic engineering program. [ 2] However, there was also a logo of a giant Lehigh Engineer looking through a surveyor's transit while an airliner flew over him and a diesel passenger train steamed beneath his feet in use at Lehigh during the 1950s and 60s. As the university expanded following the advent of coeducation in 1971, while the number of engineering students remained steady, the percentage of students enrolled in engineering declined from 50% to about 30%. As a result, during the school's 1988 appearance in the men's NCAA basketball tournament, TV commentators were encouraged to refer to the school by its colors, Brown and White. Beginning in the 1980s and until 1995, the team used a logo of a train locomotive with an \"\"L\"\" on the front. In November 1995, the school introduced the Mountain Hawk as a mascot, replacing the \"\"L train\"\", which stemmed from a popular, student-based movement to come up with a suitable mascot; the Mountain Hawk was officially voted in as the new mascot by the Lehigh Student Senate soon after.

When hemoglobin and glucose bond, a coat of sugar forms on the hemoglobin. That coat gets thicker when there's more sugar in the blood. A1c tests measure how thick that coat has been over the past 3 months, which is how long a red blood cell lives. People who have diabetes or other conditions that increase their blood glucose levels have more glycohemoglobin (sugar bound to hemoglobin) than normal. An A1c test can be used to diagnose prediabetes or diabetes. The A1c test checks the long-term control of blood glucose levels in people with diabetes. Most doctors think checking an A1c level is the best way to check how well a person is controlling his or her diabetes.

Actually, there are two main inducing causes of the symptom: One is gastrointestinal tract disorder. Diabetic digestive system disorder is a complication of Diabetes. Dysfunction in digestive tract will result in abnormal secretion of certain kinds of enzymes. Higher levels of amylases in spittle will stimulate taste buds on your tongues, thus resulting in the sweet taste in mouth. When Diabetes also damage the nerves that regulate functions in gastrointestinal tract, they patients may have accompanying symptoms such as vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, etc. The other reason for the sweet taste in mouth is high levels of blood glucose.

The primary goal of care is to reduce blood glucose levels to as close to normal as is reasonable. To monitor success toward that goal, the diabetic should self-manage in a responsible manner using diet revision and exercise as the primary strategy and should self-monitor blood glucose levels at home. The secondary goal is to monitor for and, if detected, treat developing complications. This requires annual eye exams to detect retinopathy, annual urinalysis to search for early signs of nephropathy, periodic foot examinations, regular blood pressure and cholesterol and triglyceride testing to warn of impending heart disease.

You have to remember that the reason for doing a test is to provide you with information that influences the decisions you make.

In diabetes about 48mmol/mol (6.5%) is good. The Hb A1C test is currently one of the best ways to check diabetes is under control; it is the blood test that gets sent to the laboratory, and it is done on the spot in some hospital clinics. Remember, the Hb A1C is not the same as the glucose level.

Together with the fasting plasma glucose test, the Hb A1c test is one of the main ways in which type 2 diabetes is diagnosed. Hb A1c tests are not the primary diagnostic test for type 1 diabetes but may sometimes be used together with other tests. For Hb A1c guidelines for monitoring diabetes control, see our Hb A1c targets page. Hb A1c testing in diagnosing diabetes The World Health Organisation (WHO) suggests the following diagnostic guidelines for diabetes: Hb A1c below 42 mmol/mol (6.0%): Non-diabetic Hb A1c between 42 and 47 mmol/mol (6.0–6.4%): Impaired glucose regulation (IGR) or Prediabetes Hb A1c of 48 mmol/mol (6.5%) or over: Type 2 diabetes If your Hb A1c test returns a reading of 6.0–6.4%, that indicates prediabetes. Your doctor should work with you to suggest appropriate lifestyle changes that could reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Hb A1c is not used to diagnose gestational diabetes in the UK. Instead, an oral glucose tolerance test is used." }, { "docid": "D1251902#0", "title": "https://www.medicinenet.com/hemoglobin_a1c_test/article.htm\nHemoglobin A1c Test (HbA1c, A1c, Hb1c)", "text": "Hemoglobin A1c Test (Hb A1c, A1c, Hb1c) Center Tips to Manage Blood Sugar Diabetes Travel Tips Take the Diabetes Quiz!Patient Comments: Hemoglobin A1c Test - High Results Hemoglobin A1c definition and facts What is a hemoglobin A1c?

Hemoglobin A1c levels correlate with average levels of glucose in the blood over an approximately three-month time period.

It’s probably more interesting to say how they got there. Food is converted to glucose in the body since that’s the fuel the body runs on. It is delivered to all parts of the body by putting it into the blood stream since, conveniently, blood goes to all parts of the body. There are systems to ensure that things don’t go wrong but sometimes they do. Too much sugar (glucose) and the body tries to fuel dump. It puts it in the urine and makes you pee a lot (polyuria …Google it). Glucose can be tested for by putting a testing strip into your urine.

The diagnosis of diabetes is to a large extent based on detecting elevated levels of sugar (glucose) in the blood. Hemoglobin A1c (Hb A1c) is a laboratory measure frequently used for this purpose. The test is also useful to monitor treatment in patients with established diabetes. Approximately 8 percent of the US populations suffer from type 2 diabetes, with as many as 40 percent of those undiagnosed ( 1 ). Worldwide, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes is estimated at 6.4 percent in adults but varies somewhat among countries with the rate of undetected diabetes as high as 50 percent in some areas ( 2 ). The term diabetes describes several disorders of abnormal carbohydrate metabolism that are characterized by high levels of blood glucose (hyperglycemia). Diabetes is associated with a relative or absolute impairment in insulin secretion, along with varying degrees of peripheral resistance to the action of insulin ( 3 ). The Difference Between Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes The prevalence of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes continues to increase worldwide, with type 2 diabetes much more common and accounting for over 90 percent of patients with diabetes." } ]

In dietary terms, calories are the amount of energy that a food provides. If we consistently take in more energy than we need, we will gain weight.

What is cholesterol? Cholesterol is a waxy, fatty substance that’s found in your body and that travels through your bloodstream. Your body needs a certain amount to function properly, but it produces all the cholesterol it needs. Cholesterol travels through your body with lipoproteins, which are soluble proteins that transport fats through the body. LDL, the “bad” cholesterol, carries cholesterol to your body’s tissues and blood vessels. If your body has too much LDL, it will deposit the excess along the walls of your blood vessels, putting you at risk for a heart attack or stroke.

Your total blood pressure reading is determined by measuring your systolic and diastolic blood pressures. Systolic blood pressure, the top number, measures the force your heart exerts on the walls of your arteries each time it beats. Diastolic blood pressure, the bottom number, measures the force your heart exerts on the walls of your arteries in between beats. Blood pressure readings fall into four general categories, ranging from normal to stage 2 high blood pressure (hypertension). The level of your blood pressure determines what kind of treatment you may need. To get an accurate blood pressure measurement, your doctor should evaluate your readings based on the average of two or more blood pressure readings at three or more office visits. Here's a look at the four blood pressure categories and what they mean for you. If your systolic and diastolic readings fall into two different categories, your correct blood pressure category is the higher category.

Most people know eating healthy is important, but in this “supersized” world it can be difficult to find a nutritious diet that is sustainable. When a system of group-based, hands-on interventions is used to guide people to transition to plant-based nutrition, it effectively changes a repetitive pattern of unhealthy eating into a healthy lifestyle. This type of diet benefits patients with coronary artery disease, as well as those who suffer from obesity, type 2 diabetes, and several types of cancer, such as prostate, breast, and colon. In addition to nutritional guidance, lifestyle interventions incorporate education in culinary techniques, physical activity, and stress management approaches of therapeutic yoga and behavioral health coaching to improve outcomes for patients at risk and those who already have common chronic diseases.

There are some questions you should ask yourself before you ask how many grams of protein should I eat in a day? Ask yourself, what are my goals? Do you lead a sedentary or active lifestyle? Once you have decided what kind of goal you have in mind and have answered what kind of lifestyle you lead then you can have a better understanding of “how many grams of protein should I eat in a day?” Active vs. Sedentary Lifestyle General Guidelines: Although daily estimates for how many grams of protein should I eat in a day varies, a general guideline for people that lead a sedentary lifestyle is that you need to consume about 0.8 grams per kilogram (2.2 pounds) of ideal bodyweight (the weight you would like to be). A general guideline for the more active person who is looking for gains in strength should be to consume 1.2 to 1.4 grams of protein per kilogram of ideal bodyweight.

what does a heart of gold mean
[ { "docid": "D418247#0", "title": "http://www.wisegeek.com/what-does-it-mean-to-have-a-heart-of-gold.htm\n\"What Does It Mean to Have a \"\"Heart of Gold\"\"?\"", "text": "\"\"\"Heart of gold\"\" is an idiomatic English expression indicating that a person has a kind, generous and caring personality. Its meaning is rooted in traditional symbolism relating to the properties of gold. It is sometimes used to indicate a contrast between a person's appearance and behavior by suggesting that the individual has a good heart underneath an exterior that suggests otherwise. The first recorded use of the phrase occurs in a play from 1553, \"\"Ralph Roister Doister.\"\" This farce, regarded as the first comedy written in English, concerns the unsuccessful efforts of Ralph, a buffoon, to woo the beautiful Christian Custance. Among the other endearments Ralph bestows on her is \"\"my heart of gold.\"\" In its first use, the term clearly describes a woman being praised for her excellent personality, as well as describing Ralph's love for her. In medieval symbolism, gold represented the pinnacle of luxury. Due to its rarity and value, it was considered the noblest of all metals and thought to represent positive qualities of the human spirit such as generosity, justice and courage. The symbolic value of gold can be seen in other expressions such as \"\"golden age,\"\" referring to a lost age of greatness, or \"\"golden boy,\"\" signifying a promising youngster." } ]

Some people counter that the same verses say the adornment is not to be “with styles of hair braiding and gold or pearls or very expensive garb, but in the way that befits women professing to reverence God, namely, through good works.” Does this mean that women must not fix their hair or wear jewelry? No, it does not; the Bible speaks well of adornment. So rather than forbidding certain ornamentation, Paul was encouraging women to focus primarily on adorning themselves with Christian qualities and good works.

Answer In the time of Christ, and much throughout history, the colour purple represented royalty and was worn by both men and women. It was worn almost exclusively by members of royal families and leaders of powerful empires. In some cultures it would have been punishable by death for someone \"\"not of the blood of royalty\"\" to wear the colour purple. ( just to let u know this is someone different...i just tried that purple gold thing and it worked! soooo cool! ) Answer It is understandable that purple represents royalty if one thinks how purple is a mix of red and blue, that is a mix of female and male energies.

Its meaning regarding the social life is not to leave unity and to try to maintain this unity. Its meaning regarding individual life contains deep truths. The sky has seven layers; man has seven souls. Each turning around the Kaaba represents a phase, a stage; man covers a phase and is elevated up to the seventh sky, above the material realm. Besides, it means to rise from the lowest step of the soul, which has seven steps, to the highest one. That is, from nafs al-ammarah (soul commanding the evil) to nafs al-mutmainnah (tranquil self); from the animal life to the spiritual life.

In other words, what critical belief about life is the author trying to convey in the writing of a novel, play, short story or poem? This belief, or idea, transcends cultural barriers. It is usually universal in nature. When a theme is universal, it touches on the human experience, regardless of race or language. It is what the story means.

Many jewelry items, especially pre 1930s ones, are covered in motifs and carved symbols like ivy leaves, insects, and animals. These aren't just pretty embellishments; they have a real meaning. For example, a Victorian brooch that is decorated with ivy represents everlasting love, deep friendship or marriage, though if this brooch is also dotted with pearls it means it's a mourning piece (pearls represent tears), so it would have been worn by someone who wanted to remember a departed loved one. It's well worth the effort discovering this hidden symbolism behind jewelry - it can take our love of it to a whole new and deeper level. Here is an at-a-glance list of jewelry symbols to quickly help you identify hidden codes used in your vintage jewelry.

My wife has a condition called hyperosmia, which, as I'm sure you know, is an elevated sense of smell. Not only does she smell odors that no one else even notices, the odors are always nauseating to her. Many odors that are enjoyable to me and others, such as colognes, perfumes, and certain foods as they are being cooked -- make her sick to the point of opening windows and turning on fans even on the coldest days. Though I've searched all over the net looking for a cure--or a least a treatment for her condition--I haven't found one. Her condition, which started slowly several years ago, seems to worsen with each passing day. She is 62 years old and has had fibromyalgia for at least 15 years.

Why? Because as strange as it might sound, moms-to-be are known to have an uncanny sense of smell—in fact, it's often one of the first signs of pregnancy. So if you're suddenly gagging at the scent of garlic or ground beef (or can't even stomach a simple stroll through the grocery store), you might just be expecting. Why Do I Have A Heightened Sense Of Smell? Though there is no scientific research to back it up, many women report increased powers of smell when they become pregnant. From the faint aroma of a woman’s perfume in line at Starbucks to a whiff of a cubicle-mate’s lunch, seemingly innocuous odors can be over-powering to a soon-to-be-mom. The medical reason for this is unclear, but the trigger to these symptoms is probably related to the hormonal changes associated with morning sickness. According to Yvonne Bohn, MD, co-author of The Mommy Docs’ Ultimate Guide to Pregnancy and Birth, “Rising levels of estrogen and human chorionic gonadotropin (h CG) in the first trimester trigger nausea, vomiting and morning sickness. If a woman is already slightly nauseous, a strong odor may enhance these symptoms." }, { "docid": "D1863481#0", "title": "http://www.rabbitwise.org/behavior.html\nYou have Rabbit questions?

The possibility it is a symptom of something serious is remote, but like many other symptoms, if it comes on suddenly and lingers on, you might do well to have it looked into. The medical term for this type of abnormal taste in the mouth is dysgeusia, which is a condition, not a disease or a disorder. Not a Normal Taste – But Still a Taste Your taste buds sense sweet, sour, salty, bitter, or umami. The latter taste sensation could be described as savory or meaty, and is commonly associated with Asian foods. None of these five basic sensations can be described as metallic.

Using these adaptations, hedgehogs can survive in a myriad of conditions. Defense Sharp spines cover the back of the hedgehog. If a hedgehog does not feel threatened, the spines angle in a way that allows the hedgehog to be touched. When a hedgehog enters a state of panic or needs defense, the hedgehog curls itself into a ball and extends its spines vertically for protection. These spines cannot be released from the hedgehog in an offensive attack but rather act as a defense mechanism against predators in the wild.

Most mammals and reptiles have a main olfactory system and an accessory olfactory system. The main olfactory system detects airborne substances, while the accessory system senses fluid-phase stimuli. The senses of smell and taste ( gustatory system) are often referred to together as the chemosensory system, because they both give the brain information about the chemical composition of objects through a process called transduction.

Peripheral [ edit]The peripheral olfactory system consists mainly of the nostrils, ethmoid bone, nasal cavity, and the olfactory epithelium (layers of thin tissue covered in mucus that line the nasal cavity). The primary components of the layers of epithelial tissue are the mucous membranes, olfactory glands, olfactory neurons, and nerve fibers of the olfactory nerves. [ 1]Odor molecules can enter the peripheral pathway and reach the nasal cavity either through the nostrils when inhaling ( olfaction) or through the throat when the tongue pushes air to the back of the nasal cavity while chewing or swallowing (retro-nasal olfaction).

Mucus also covers the olfactory epithelium, which contains mucous membranes that produce and store mucus and olfactory glands that secrete metabolic enzymes found in the mucus.

Estrogen levels increase in pregnant women, and estrogen has been linked to a heightened sense of smell in women who are not pregnant, too. A study conducted in 2002 by Philadelphia's Monell Chemical Senses Center demonstrated that women who are of child-bearing age were more sensitive to odors than men. This was not true, however of prepubescent girls or post-menopausal women, who performed comparably with the men in the study. So, apparently, as women's levels of estrogen rise or fall, their sense of smell may be affected. There's evidence that a woman's smelling abilities also changes during her menstrual cycle and also at ovulation, as well as during her pregnancy. But scientists cannot offer an explanation for how, or if, estrogen creates the change in the woman's nose or in her brain.

This increased sensitivity can even seem supernatural—for example, when canines seem to predict natural disasters. For instance, there are many accounts of animals (including dogs) acting strangely before the recent tsunami in Southern Asia, as if they knew that it was about to happen. National Geographic says the following: The belief that wild and domestic animals possess a sixth sense—and know in advance when the earth is going to shake—has been around for centuries. Wildlife experts believe animals' more acute hearing and other senses might enable them to hear or feel the earth's vibration, tipping them off to approaching disaster long before humans realize what's going on.

Because the risk of PEM is related to the degree of illness, the causal connections between malnutrition and a poorer prognosis are complex. It cannot auto matically be inferred that nutritional support will improve the clinical course of patients with wasting disorders. We reviewed studies of the treatment of PEM in cases of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic heart failure, stroke, dementia, reha-bilitation after hip fracture, chronic renal failure, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple disorders in the elderly. Several method-ologic problems are associated with nutrition treatment studies in chronically ill patients. These problems include no generally accepted definition of PEM, uncertain patient compliance with supplementation, and a wide range of outcome variables. Avail-able treatment studies indicate that dietary supplements, either alone or in combination with hormonal treatment, may have positive effects when given to patients with manifest PEM or to patients at risk of developing PEM. In chronic obstructive pul-monary disease, nutritional treatment may improve respiratory function. Nutritional therapy of elderly women after hip fractures may speed up the rehabilitation process. When administered to elderly patients with multiple disorders, diet therapy may improve functional capacity." }, { "docid": "D3212354#0", "title": "http://jasn.asnjournals.org/content/21/2/223.full\nReassessment of Albumin as a Nutritional Marker in Kidney Disease", "text": "Reassessment of Albumin as a Nutritional Marker in Kidney Disease Allon N.

Patients with analbuminemia are not malnourished and individuals with simple malnutrition are rarely hypoalbuminemic. With the possible exception of kwashiorkor, a rare nutritional state, serum albumin is an unreliable marker of nutritional status. Furthermore, nutritional supplementation has not been clearly shown to raise levels of serum albumin. The use of serum albumin as a quality care index is also problematic. It has encouraged a reflexive reliance on expensive and unproven interventions such as dietary supplements and may lead to adverse selection of healthier patients by health care providers. The authors offer a rationale for considering albumin as a marker of illness rather than nutrition. Viewed in this manner, hypoalbuminemia may offer an opportunity to improve patient well-being by identifying and treating the underlying disorder. Kidney disease is closely associated with protein–calorie malnutrition." }, { "docid": "D2268207#0", "title": "http://www.davita.com/treatment-options/hemodialysis/in-center-hemodialysis/what-is-hemodialysis?/t/5594\nWhat Is Hemodialysis?", "text": "Print Page Email Page What Is Hemodialysis?

Most people know that a major function of the kidneys is to remove waste products and excess fluid from the body. These waste products and excess fluid are removed through the urine. The production of urine involves highly complex steps of excretion and re-absorption. This process is necessary to maintain a stable balance of body chemicals. The critical regulation of the body's salt, potassium and acid content is performed by the kidneys. The kidneys also produce hormones that affect the function of other organs. For example, a hormone produced by the kidneys stimulates red blood cell production. Other hormones produced by the kidneys help regulate blood pressure and control calcium metabolism.

The severity of neuropathy is correlated strongly with the severity of the renal insufficiency. Uremic neuropathy is considered a dying-back neuropathy or central-peripheral axonopathy associated with secondary demyelination. However, uremia and its treatment can also be associated with mononeuropathy at compression sites. [ 1]Charcot suspected the existence of uremic neuropathy in 1880 [2], and Osler suspected it in 1892. Since the introduction of hemodialysis and renal transplantation in the early 1960s, uremic neuropathy has been investigated thoroughly. Asbury, Victor, and Adams described the clinical and pathologic features in detail in 1962. [ 3]In 1971, Dyck and colleagues established the current concept of uremic neuropathy based on their extensive nerve conduction studies in vivo and in vitro, as well as light and electron microscopy studies.

They filter by-products and toxins from the blood and preserve the balance of bodily fluids and electrolytes. The kidneys excrete these compounds with water to make urine. They also eliminate excess body water while reabsorbing useful chemicals and allowing waste to pass freely into the bladder as urine. They allow a person to consume a variety of foods, drugs, vitamins and nutritional supplements, additives, and excess fluids without worry that toxic by-products will build up to harmful levels. The kidneys regulate the amount of various substances in the blood and the amount of water in the body. Blood circulates through the kidneys for filtration. As the first step in filtration, the blood passes through the glomeruli, complex structures composed of tiny blood vessels entwined together. Substances present in the blood are selectively filtered across the outer linings of the tiny blood vessels and excreted with water as urine or reabsorbed into tube-like structures (tubules) for further filtration." }, { "docid": "D3238558#0", "title": "http://www.diabetes.org/living-with-diabetes/treatment-and-care/transplantation/kidney-replacement-therapy.html\nKidney Replacement Therapy", "text": "\"Kidney Replacement Therapy Diabetes sometimes damages kidneys so badly that they no longer work.

Hemodialysis In hemodialysis, an artificial kidney removes waste from the blood. A surgeon must first create an \"\"access,\"\" a place where blood can easily be taken from the body and sent to the artificial kidney for cleaning. The access, usually in the forearm, can be made from the patient's own blood vessels or from a piece of implanted tubing. The access is inside the body and cannot be seen from the outside.

Anemia is a condition in which a person has a lower than normal number of red blood cells or the amount of hemoglobin in the red blood cells drops below normal, which prevents the body’s cells from getting enough oxygen. Hemoglobin is an iron-rich protein that gives blood its red color and lets red blood cells transport oxygen from the lungs to the body’s tissues. Therefore, low numbers of red blood cells or low levels of hemoglobin also cause low blood iron levels. People with anemia may feel tired because their blood does not supply enough oxygen to the body’s organs and tissues. If anemia becomes severe and prolonged, the lack of oxygen in the blood can lead to shortness of breath or exercise intolerance—a condition in which a person becomes easily fatigued during or after physical activity—and eventually can cause the heart and other organs to fail. What is anemia of inflammation and chronic disease (AI/ACD)? Anemia of inflammation and chronic disease is a type of anemia that commonly occurs with chronic, or long term, illnesses or infections. Cancer and inflammatory disorders, in which abnormal activation of the immune system occurs, can also cause AI/ACD.

Diabetic nephropathy is kidney disease that is a complication of diabetes. It can occur in people with type 2 diabetes, the diabetes type that is most common and is caused by resistance to insulin, or in people with type 1 diabetes, the type that more often begins at an early age and results from decreased insulin production. Diabetic nephropathy is caused by damage to the tiniest blood vessels. When small blood vessels begin to develop damage, both kidneys begin to leak proteins into the urine. As damage to the blood vessels continues, the kidneys gradually lose their ability to remove waste products from the blood. Up to 40% of people with type 1 diabetes eventually develop significant kidney disease, which sometimes requires dialysis or a kidney transplant. Only four to six percent of all type 2 diabetes patients end up requiring dialysis, although about 20% to 30% of people with type 2 diabetes will develop at least some kidney damage. About 40 percent of all people who need to start dialysis have kidney failure from type 1 or type 2 diabetes.

Hemoglobin is a protein in your red blood cells that carries oxygen to your body's organs and tissues and transports carbon dioxide from your organs and tissues back to your lungs. If a hemoglobin test reveals that your hemoglobin level is lower than normal, it means you have a low red blood cell count (anemia). Anemia can have many different causes, including vitamin deficiencies, bleeding and chronic diseases. If a hemoglobin test shows a higher than normal level, there are several potential causes — the blood disorder polycythemia vera, living at a high altitude, smoking and dehydration. Why it's done You may have a hemoglobin test for several reasons: To check your overall health. Your doctor may test your hemoglobin as part of a complete blood count during a routine medical examination to monitor your general health and to screen for a variety of disorders, such as anemia. To diagnose a medical condition. Your doctor may suggest a hemoglobin test if you're experiencing weakness, fatigue, shortness of breath or dizziness.

By Kelly Close | Reviewed by Richard N. Fogoros, MDUpdated March 14, 2018Share Pin Email Print Andrew Brookes/Cultura/Getty Images The A1C test (also known as Hb A1C, hemoglobin A1c, glycated hemoglobin or glycosylated hemoglobin) is a good general measure of diabetes care. While conventional home glucose monitoring measures a person’s blood sugar at a given moment, A1C levels indicate a person’s average blood glucose level over the past two-to-three months. How Does it Work? You can retrieve an A1C test through regular blood draw. Many doctors offices also have A1C testing machines and are able to retrieve the result with a small drop of blood that is obtained from pricking the finger with a lancet. You do not have to be fasting to receive an A1C test which makes it more convenient and more likely to be done. Hemoglobin A, a protein found inside red blood cells, carries oxygen throughout the body. When there is glucose in the bloodstream, it can actually stick (glycate) to the hemoglobin A protein. More glucose in the blood means that more glucose sticks to hemoglobin and a higher percent of hemoglobin proteins become glycated." }, { "docid": "D2087750#0", "title": "http://www.mchcbloodtest.com/\nMCHC Blood Test Results Explained", "text": "MCHC Blood Test Results Explained Looking For MCHC Calcium? http://www.mchcbloodtest.com/mchc-calcium-powder-tabs-microcrystalline-calcium-hydroxyapatite-complex/A MCHC blood test could be ordered for someone who has signs of fatigue or weakness, when there is an infection, is bleeding or bruising easily or when there is noticeable inflammation.

As an overall measurement of blood sugar control, they’re very limited. This is because blood sugar can vary wildly depending on the time of day, activity levels, and even hormone changes. Some people may have high blood sugars at 3 a.m. and be totally unaware of it. Once A1C tests became available in the 1980s, they became an important tool in controlling diabetes. A1C tests measure average blood glucose over the past two to three months. So even if you have a high fasting blood sugar, your overall blood sugars may be normal, or vice versa.

A1c is a form of hemoglobin -- a protein in red blood cells -- that has combined with a molecule of blood sugar or glucose. As a marker for how much glucose has been present in the blood over time, elevated A1c values are most commonly seen in people with prediabetes and diabetes. However, in certain medical situations, A1c may be elevated in someone who does not have these conditions.

The percentage of A1c increases in proportion to the average blood glucose level over the previous 2 to 3 months -- a reflection of the average lifespan of red blood cells. An A1c test of 5.6 percent or below is reflective of normal blood sugar levels -- or a daily average below 115. According to the 2016 ADA clinical practice recommendations, the A1c test may be used to reliably diagnose prediabetes and diabetes. According to these guidelines, an A1c of 5.7 to 6.4 percent is used to diagnosed prediabetes, and an A1c of 6.5 percent can be used to confirm the diagnosis of diabetes.

Hemoglobin is the substance that carries oxygen from the lungs to the cells of the body through the bloodstream. Abnormally high or low levels of MCH, as determined by blood testing, can be an indication of a number of problems within the body, ranging from nutrient deficiencies to chronic diseases. The MCH blood test is done as a component of a blood test called a Complete Blood Count (CBC), which evaluates the composition of the blood, checking hematocrit, white blood cells (WBC) and platelets as well as hemoglobin and red blood cells (RBC). It is usually ordered to get an overview of general health. MCH is not measured directly, but calculated based on the hemoglobin value (Hgb), which is the total measure of hemoglobin in the blood, and the RBC, which is the number of red blood cells in the blood. To calculate MCH, the Hgb is divided by RCB, yielding an average amount of hemoglobin per red blood cell.

The mean corpuscular volume measures the average size of red blood cells. Mean corpuscular hemoglobin calculates the amount of oxygen-carrying hemoglobin inside an individual red blood cell, according to WHF.

There are several types of myositis that affect different parts of thebody. Description The persistent inflammation that is associated with myositis develops slowly over weeks to months and often years, with progressive weakening of the muscles. Later in the course of thedisease development muscle wasting or shortening (contracture) may develop. Myositis canrange in severity from mild to debilitating. The forms of myositis include: Polymyositis (PM) inflames and weakens muscles in many parts of the body, and especiallythose parts closest to the trunk. With polymyositis, dysphagia (difficulty, discomfort or pain in speaking or swallowing), fatigue, and pain in the muscles are common. PM rarely affectspeople under the age of 20, with the peak onset between the ages of 30 and 60. Dermatomyositis (DM) affects both the muscle fibers and skin by damaging the tiny bloodvessels (capillaries) that supply blood to the muscle and skin, resulting in muscle weakness,pain, and fatigue." }, { "docid": "D1178475#0", "title": "https://www.caring.com/articles/breast-cancer-blood-results\nHow to Understand Blood Test Results for Breast Cancer Treatment", "text": "How to Understand Blood Test Results for Breast Cancer Treatment How to read blood test results and what they mean for breast cancer treatment. By Melanie Haiken, Health Journalist Quick summary During chemotherapy for breast cancer, a lot hinges on the blood test results that precede each treatment session. Low counts can indicate serious side effects, including fatigue, bruising, and vulnerability to infection -- and can also mean that treatment must be postponed until the body heals. What a blood test can tell you about breast cancer treatment Complete blood counts, or CBCs, are routinely performed before chemotherapy and other breast cancer treatments to check the number of each type of blood cell circulating in the body. This test is also called a hemogram. In the simplest possible terms, white blood cells, or neutrophils, fight infection; red blood cells, also known as erythrocytes, pick up oxygen in the lungs and carry it to the tissues. CBCs note, among other things, any shortage of red blood cells, which is the definition of anemia and leads to low oxygen levels in the blood. In addition, CBCs count platelets, which are components of red blood cells that enable blood to clot. Here's the shorthand: Low red blood count = fatigue, low energy Low platelets = bruising and bleeding Low white blood count = susceptibility to infection What are normal ranges for CBCs? These vary a bit depending on the lab, so the ranges that follow are guidelines rather than absolutes." }, { "docid": "D1711231#0", "title": "https://www.buzzle.com/articles/what-not-to-eat-before-a-blood-test.html\nWhat Not to Eat Before a Blood Test", "text": "What Not to Eat Before a Blood Test Certain blood test results may get influenced by the foods you eat.

The results of a blood test are often accurate and reliable. Most blood tests demand a stipulated time of fasting, during which you are not allowed to eat or drink anything. However, blood tests that do not demand fasting may require you to omit certain foods from your diet altogether. Certain foods may influence the results of blood tests, thereby leading to a false diagnosis. The type of foods to avoid before a blood test depend upon the type of blood test that you are planning to undergo.

Hemolysis: This is due to destruction of RBCs within the body before they have finished their normal lifespan. These anemias are usually regenerative (given sufficient time for a bone marrow response). The RBCs are usually removed by macrophages in a process called extravascular hemolysis. The macrophages phagocytize the RBC early because the RBCs are abnormal (e.g. have antibody attached to them, are more rigid, etc) or macrophages are doing something they are not supposed to because they are excessively activated or abnormal (e.g. erythrophagocytic histiocytic sarcoma, which is a tumor of macrophages, where macrophages phagocytize excess numbers of normal RBCs).

The obtained nucleated count must be corrected for the number of n RBC in the circulation. To correct the “WBC” or nucleated count, the number of n RBCs per 100 leukocytes is recorded during the differential leukocyte count when performing a blood smear examination. Then a correction is made as follow s: Corrected WBC = obtained nucleated cell count x [100 ÷ (n RBC + 100)]In reports from our laboratory, when the number of n RBC total more than 5 per 100 WBC, the WBC value with our routine hemograms is always a leukocyte count since we correct for n RBCs. Corrections are not performed under the following settings:n RBC counts < 5/100 WBC. Automated hemograms: The automated hemogram does not include a manual differential cell count. In most animals, the numbers of n RBCs are too low to significantly affect the WBC count, but in disorders where n RBCs are found in high numbers, e.g. lead poisoning, immune-mediated hemolytic anemia, the impact on the WBC count can be substantial.

The term \"\"liver function tests\"\" is often used to describe a panel of laboratory measures of a variety of hepatic enzymes, including serum aminotransferase (aspartate aminotransferase or AST and alanine aminotransferase or ALT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP). Rather than a measure of hepatic function, these tests evaluate hepatocyte integrity, as serum levels of these enzymes rise in response to a variety of forms of injury to hepatic cells. Abnormal levels of hepatic enzymes including ALP may be found in up to 6% of well adults, whereas liver disease will be found only in about 1% of the general population.

Share Pin Reddit Stumble Email10Valium (Diazepam) is a popular benzodiazepine medication prescribed for an array of conditions including: acute anxiety, alcohol withdrawal, insomnia, panic attacks, restless leg syndrome, and seizures. Like other benzodiazepines, diazepam functions as a positive allosteric modulator (PAM) of GABAA receptors. Rather than binding to the same (“A”) subunit of GABAA receptors as the neurotransmitter GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), diazepam binds to the “B” subunit. This facilitates an increase in the transportation of chloride through selective ion channels, which depresses CNS activity. As a result, most users of diazepam report: anxiety reduction, drowsiness, physical relaxation, and sedation. These effects are so potent, that the medication has been classified as a “controlled-substance” in the United States. Although the drug can provide substantial therapeutic benefit when utilized over a short-term under medical supervision, long-term usage of benzos like Valium have been linked to dementia and memory impairment. Furthermore, ongoing usage of diazepam could interfere with school/work performance, operating a motor vehicle, and even lead to addiction.

Diagnosis Diagnosis of Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy (ICP)ICP is a diagnosis of exclusion, meaning that other causes of impaired liver function and cholestasis, such as viral hepatitis, biliary obstructions or strictures, or autoimmune hepatitis, among others, must be ruled out before the diagnosis can be made. Regardless of the reason for elevated bile acids, however, the treatment to reduce the risks to the pregnancy should be followed. Serum bile acids Currently the most sensitive test available to detect Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy is the serum bile acid test, a blood test to measure the level of bile acids. It is often referred to as total bile acids, bile salts, or bile acid salts. Research suggests that elevated bile acids may be linked to risks to the unborn baby. One large study of a Swedish population found that bile acids over 40 µmol/L pose a greater risk of preterm labor, respiratory issues, and meconium staining. Other studies in the same area have also found a correlation between higher bile acid levels and respiratory issues. A large study of an American population found that moderate Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy (defined for the purposes of the study as bile acids of 20-40 µmol/L) was at the same risk of fetal complications as severe Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy (over 40 µmol/L), but that the rates of complications for both groups were very small with treatment.

Share Pin Reddit Stumble Email Tramadol (brand name “Ultram”) is a synthetic drug approved by the FDA for the treatment of moderate to severe pain. It initially hit the market in 1995 as an immediate-release (IR) drug, and was since also engineered into an extended-release (ER) drug in 2005. Compared to many other pain medications, Tramadol is unique in that it elicits an array of effects across a spectrum of neurotransmitters. It primarily acts as a mu-opioid receptor (MOR) agonist, thereby releasing both enkephalins and beta-endorphin to facilitate analgesic effects. Mu-receptor agonism is also understood to increase neurophysiological relaxation (which reduces anxiety) and enhance mood (often significantly). In addition, Tramadol increases serotonin (via SSRI /5-HT release) and antagonizes: NMDA, 5-HT2C, n ACh Rs, TRPV1, M1, and M3 receptors. As a result of its complex mechanism of action, Tramadol is an appealing drug for the treatment of pain, as well as a multitude of off-label conditions. However, many users of the drug may dislike its side effects (e.g. itchiness, constipation, nausea), be wary of its long-term effects, and/or feel as if the drug has lost its efficacy (due to tolerance). For these reasons, some individuals have quit the drug, but wonder how long it’ll stay in their system after stopping." }, { "docid": "D233387#0", "title": "http://requestatest.com/comprehensive-metabolic-panel-testing\nNational Leader in Affordable Direct to Consumer Lab Testing", "text": "All Tests»Comprehensive Metabolic Panel Lab LC - $29.00 Lab QD - $34.00Comprehensive Metabolic Panel Blood Test CMP, Comprehensive Chem Panel$29.00Sample Report Test Code: 322000Specimen Type: Blood Description: Comprehensive Metabolic Panel Blood Test A Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) is a broad screening test which is used to evaluate organ function and electrolyte balance as well as aid in the diagnosis of conditions such as diabetes, liver disease, and kidney disease.

Understanding lab test results is especially important if you are taking antiviral treatment for HCV, which can have a significant effect on how the body functions. In general, when you look at a lab testing report, information about what is normal for each test parameter is given on the right-hand side of the report. Often reports will show out-of-range values, which makes it easy to identify problems quickly. Another important thing to keep in mind when looking at lab results is that results can vary from lab to lab. When considering lab results, it is more important to look at trends over time than at individual numbers at one point in time. There are three key areas of lab testing that you should be aware of: Liver biochemical/function testing Complete blood counts (CBC)Chemistry panels Liver biochemical/function testing Liver biochemical/function testing measures blood levels of various enzymes produced by the liver.

When making a decision for conservative, non-surgical care, the provider must balance the potential morbidity of surgical exploration against the potential cost of missing a surgical diagnosis." }, { "docid": "D936730#0", "title": "https://www.healthtap.com/topics/can-you-feel-your-uterus-during-early-pregnancy\nTop 30 Doctor insights on: Weak Uterus During Pregnancy", "text": "\"Top 30 Doctor insights on: Weak Uterus During Pregnancy Share Follow @Health Tap </> Embed Dr. Samuel Pauli1 doctor agreed:1 I have 6 week weak of pregnancy but I din't found the pregnancy ring in my uterus my h CG level also not great, I had two missacarrige, wt can be reson?

An incisional hernia, also called a ventral hernia, is a bulge or protrusion that occurs near or directly along a prior abdominal surgical incision. The surgical repair procedure is also known as incisional or ventral herniorrhaphy. Purpose Incisional hernia repair is performed to correct a weakened area that has developed in the scarred muscle tissue around a prior abdominal surgical incision, occurring as a result of tension (pulling in opposite directions) created when the incision was closed with sutures, or by any other condition that increases abdominal pressure or interferes with proper healing. Demographics Because incisional hernias can occur at the site of any type of abdominal surgery previously performed on a wide range of individuals, there is no outstanding profile of an individual most likely to have an incisional hernia. Men, women, and children of all ages and ethnic backgrounds may develop an incisional hernia after abdominal surgery. Incisional hernia occurs more commonly among adults than among children. Description An incisional hernia can develop in the scar tissue around any surgery performed in the abdominal area, from the breastbone down to the groin. Depending upon the location of the hernia, internal organs may press through the weakened abdominal wall. The rate of incisional hernia occurrence can be as high as 13%An incisional hernia occurs at the site of a previous incision (A)." }, { "docid": "D3485263#0", "title": "http://www.emedicinehealth.com/spermatocele_epididymal_cyst-health/article_em.htm\nTesticular Pain (Discomfort, Swelling)", "text": "\"Facts and Definition of Testicular Pain and Swelling How Do the Testicles Develop, and What's Their Purpose?

If an inguinal hernia is in jeopardy of strangulation, then surgery may be the only intervention that will successfully repair the hernia site. Likewise, if a hernia is irreducible over the long term and adhesions form, surgery may be the only alternative. Self-diagnosis and self-treatment of an advanced or serious inguinal hernia is not recommended because of the potential serious consequences to both abdominal and overall health. Regardless of the holistic approach utilized, it is highly advisable that a qualified healthcare professional, with direct experience in inguinal hernia remediation, be involved in the formulation and monitoring of any long-range treatment plan.— Hernia Remediation.org Getting Started Hernias are extremely difficult to remediate unless you know well two things: (i) the many techniques and treatments which can contribute to a permanent cure and (ii) the various co-factors which caused the hernia to occur in the first place.

Find out what could be causing your right side stomach pain as we go through the causes, diagnosis and treatment of common causes of right sided abdominal pain here. A right sided abdominal pain, is pain occurring any where in the abdomen, to the right of an imaginary line drawn from the center of the chest through the umbilicus or belly button to the top of the genitalia. Apart from acute appendicitis, gallstones or biliary colic, cholecystitis, hepatitis and many other liver diseases, the causes of right sided stomach pain can also cause pain on the left side. In order to understand the possible cause of a 'right side stomach pain', it may be helpful to know the organs and structures that exist in this region of the body.

Hiatal hernia occurs when a small part of your stomach slides up into your chest through a weak spot, or hiatus, in your diaphragm. A symptomatic hiatal hernia regurgitates stomach acid back into your esophagus, causing the heartburn, difficulty swallowing and chest pain associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD. To manage a hiatal hernia, Cleveland Clinic advises you to maintain a healthy weight, stop smoking, eat small meals at least three hours to four hours before lying down and avoid fatty and acidic foods. Consult your doctor for advice and fill your plate with healthy foods to help alleviate symptoms. Lean Meats Favor lean meats and avoid fatty meats if you have a hiatal hernia. Meats with a high fat content, including many red meats and cold cuts, can aggravate the condition. Choose lean protein sources, such as skinless chicken breasts, mackerel and cod. If you like hamburgers and meatloaf, substitute ground turkey for ground beef.

Overview of cycle between autotrophs and heterotrophs. Photosynthesis is the main means by which plants, algae and many bacteria produce organic compounds and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water ( green arrow ). An autotroph (\"\"self-feeding\"\", from the Greek autos \"\"self\"\" and trophe \"\"nourishing\"\") or producer, is an organism that produces complex organic compounds (such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins) from simple substances present in its surroundings, generally using energy from light ( photosynthesis) or inorganic chemical reactions ( chemosynthesis ). [ 1] They are the producers in a food chain, such as plants on land or algae in water (in contrast to heterotrophs as consumers of autotrophs). They do not need a living source of energy or organic carbon. Autotrophs can reduce carbon dioxide to make organic compounds for biosynthesis and also create a store of chemical energy. Most autotrophs use water as the reducing agent, but some can use other hydrogen compounds such as hydrogen sulfide. Some autotrophs, such as green plants and algae, are phototrophs, meaning that they convert electromagnetic energy from sunlight into chemical energy in the form of reduced carbon. Autotrophs can be photoautotrophs or chemoautotrophs." } ]

The organisms which derive their food from others are known as heterotrophic organisms. They depend for their food on other organisms, hence they are called consumers. All animals, human beings and non-green plans like fungi come under this category. They consume complex organic food prepared by autotrophs or producers and break it into simple from to derive nourishment. Thus the difference between heterotrophy and autotrophs is basically in the mode of production of food. Due to lack of chlorophyll, heterotrophs cannot synthesize their food while autotrophs can perform photosynthesis. Heterotrophs may be parasitic, saprophytic and holozoic. 1.

Animals rely on aquatic food sources such as algae to support the food chain. Oceanic Organisms All organisms are separated into two classifications: heterotrophs (organisms that attain energy from other organisms) and autotrophs (organisms that obtain energy from inorganic resources, such as sunlight). Oceanic organisms are no exception. Within the oceanic ecosystem, further distinctions can be made between organisms. Both heterotrophs and autotrophs can be classified as palegic (existing in the water column above the ocean floor) or benthic (existing on the ocean floor).

How do prokaryotes obtain nutrition Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Most prokaryotes are heterotrophic. Of these the majority are saprobes, feeding on dead organic matter. Bacteria and other microorganisms are responsible for the decay and recycling of organic material in the soil. Typically, different groups of bacteria play different specific roles, such as the digestion of cellulose, starches, or other polysaccharides, or the hydrolysis of specific peptide bonds, or the breakdown of amino acids. Due to the specificity of bacterial nutritional requirements, many bacteria are able to live in a small area with little competition and with mutual assistance. Many times the activities of one group will make food available for another group. These combined activities release the nutrients and make them available to plants and then to animals, as animals eat the plants.

Statistics show that one in eight women will develop a thyroid disorder in her lifetime. And, women are five to eight times more likely than men to have thyroid problems. The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located in the area of your neck just below the Adam’s apple. It’s part of the endocrine system, and it secretes the hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyroxine (T3), which regulate the body’s metabolic rate. Thyroid function is very complex and exerts a profound effect on the function of nearly every other organ in the body. Therefore, smooth functioning of the overall body chemistry depends on the health of your thyroid gland. Hyperthyroidism results from the body producing too much thyroid hormone, but far more common is hypothyroidism, the result of not making enough thyroid hormone. About 26 percent of women in or near perimenopause are diagnosed with this condition." }, { "docid": "D3011800#0", "title": "https://patient.info/doctor/plasma-autoantibodies-disease-associations\nPlasma Autoantibodies Disease Associations", "text": "Haematology Save Print Share Actions Plasma Autoantibodies Disease Associations Authored by Dr Colin Tidy, 11 Aug 2016This article is for Medical Professionals In this article Rheumatology Gastroenterology Endocrinology Neurology Renal disease Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies Cardiology Dermatology Autoimmune disease can be either organ-specific illnesses (eg, thyroid disease, type 1 diabetes mellitus, myasthenia gravis) or systemic illnesses (eg, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)). The cause of autoimmune damage may be mainly due to either autoantibodies or autoimmune T lymphocytes. Nearly all autoimmune diseases are associated with circulating autoantibodies, which may also be found associated with non-related illnesses and in healthy individuals. The immune system is able to identify cellular factors that initiate tumour formation by making autoantibodies to tumour-associated antigens - eg, novel autoantibodies have been detected during the transition period to hepatocellular carcinoma In a patient with liver cirrhosis [ 1] . Autoantibodies are often detected many years before the onset of disease [ 2]. Rheumatology Antinuclear antibodies [ 3]Antinuclear factor (ANF): Raised ANF is almost always present in SLE [ 4]. It is also associated with drug-induced lupus erythematosus (LE), systemic sclerosis (scleroderma), Sjögren's syndrome, polymyositis and dermatomyositis, mixed connective tissue disorder and autoimmune hepatitis. Drugs associated with drug-induced LE are isoniazid, phenytoin, hydralazine, methyldopa, chlorpromazine, penicillamine and minocycline. Raised ANF may also be seen in Addison's disease, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), Hashimoto's thyroiditis, autoimmune haemolytic anaemia and type 1 diabetes mellitus ; occasionally a positive ANF is found in normal elderly people. Single-stranded DNA antibody: 70% of patients with SLE but also in other autoimmune rheumatic and inflammatory conditions, and is therefore of limited clinical value.

Hydrocodone addiction is a growing crisis in the United States. While illegal drugs like cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamine, and heroin remain in the headlines many individuals may be surprised to know that hydrocodone addiction could lurk right behind them as one of the most widely-abused drugs of addiction. In fact, the FDA believes hydrocodone may be the most abused prescription drug in the country. Nationwide, its use has quadrupled in the last ten years, while emergency room visits attributed to hydrocodone abuse soared 500 percent. Hydrocodone is a narcotic that can produce a calm, euphoric state similar to heroin or morphine--and despite such important and obvious benefits in pain relief, evidence is pointing to chronic addiction. Pure hydrocodone is a Schedule II substance, closely controlled with restricted use. But very few prescription drugs are pure hydrocodone. Instead, small amounts of hydrocodone are mixed with other non-narcotic ingredients to create medicines like Vicodin and Lortab. This means they can be classified under Schedule III with fewer restrictions on their use and distribution." }, { "docid": "D555389#0", "title": "http://www.ijbs.com/v07p0937.htm\nBiological Characteristics of Foam Cell Formation in Smooth Muscle Cells Derived from Bone Marrow Stem Cells", "text": "PDFInt J Biol Sci 2011; 7 (7):937-946. doi:10.7150/ijbs.7.937Research Paper Biological Characteristics of Foam Cell Formation in Smooth Muscle Cells Derived from Bone Marrow Stem Cells Pengke Yan 1*, Chenglai Xia 1*, Caiwen Duan 2*, Shihuang Li 3, Zhengrong Mei 11.

Although AIH shows prominent predilection towards young women, it can affect males and females in all ages. The median age of diagnosis is 39 year in man and 49 years in women (1). In the majority of cases the disease follows an insidious, fluctuating course, and presents with non-specific clinical symptoms such as malaise, anorexia, jaundice and arthralgias. Especially in older patients, well established liver cirrhosis is often present at the time of diagnosis. In smaller group of cases the initial presentation is dominated by symptoms of acute or fulminant hepatitis (2). Concomitant extrahepatic autoimmune disorders are found in approximately 13% of the AIH cases. These are most prevalent in the pediatric and in elderly patient groups (2). The list of rheumatic conditions frequently observed in AIH includes rheumatoid arthritis, Sj?gren's syndrome, autoimmune pericarditis, mononeuritis multiplex and systemic lupus erythematosus.

Fibrinogen is a type of blood plasma that is responsible for the coagulation of blood. It is an extremely essential component of blood. Fibrinogen interacts with thrombin to create fibrin which is essential in clotting blood. Excessive levels of fibrin will cause blood clots to form all over the body. This condition is known as thrombosis. Thrombosis can be particularly dangerous if a clot is allowed to pass into vital organs where it might result in the malfunctioning of those organs. In severe cases, blood clots can cause heart attacks by clogging the vital arteries of the heart. A low amount of fibrinogen is responsible for excessive bleeding.

When an invader (antigen) enters the body, white blood cells known as B lymphocytes react by making special types of proteins called antibodies. Antibodies are your body’s way of remembering an antigen; if it enters the body again, the antibodies will recognize it, combine with it, and neutralize it to prevent you from becoming infected. However, with autoimmune diseases such as lupus, the immune system can produce antibodies (auto-antibodies) that attack your body’s cells as though they were invaders, causing inflammation, damage, and even destruction. Several blood tests can be performed to detect specific auto-antibodies and help make the diagnosis of lupus. These blood tests are not conclusive by themselves, but combining the tests with certain physical findings can help to corroborate a diagnosis. Anti-Nuclear Antibody (ANA) Test Anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA) are autoantibodies to the nuclei of your cells. 98% of all people with systemic lupus have a positive ANA test, making it the most sensitive diagnostic test for confirming diagnosis of the disease.

Abstract It has been shown that Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is able to alter the immune response towards self-antigens and may enhance risk of autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in genetically predisposed individuals. In this study, we evaluated the specific antibody immune response against EBV in patients with anti-nuclear autoantibodies (ANA) in comparison with ANA-negative healthy controls. For this purpose, 92 patients with an high anti-ANA reactivity with or without concomitant extractable nuclear antigen (ENA) or double stranded DNA (ds DNA) positivity were selected and compared with 146 healthy donors. We found that anti-EBV-VCA and EA Ig G concentrations were significantly higher in ANA-positive patients in comparison to the controls (VCA P < 0.0001 and EA P < 0,03) as well as in those ANA-positive patients that showed a concomitant ENA positivity ( P = 0.0002). Interestingly, elevated anti-EBNA-1 Ig G was found in a group of patients who had anti SSA/Ro antibodies. Anti-VCA Ig M Abs were more frequently found in those patients with a very high titer of ANA ( P = 0.06); moreover detection of anti-VCA Ig M/Ig G in absence of anti-EBNA-1 Ig G was more frequent in the patient than in the control group. Both these conditions correlate with a recent EBV infection or reactivation. The data suggest that EBV, particularly during acute infection or in its reactivation phase, could be involved in the ANA and ENA autoantibody formation.

Antinuclear antibodies are immunoglobulins or antibodies that bind to one or more antigens expressed within the nucleus of human cells. Used selectively, the ANA test can be a useful laboratory tool to help confirm or exclude the diagnosis of systemic rheumatic disease. However, the relatively high prevalence of ANAs in other inflammatory conditions, as well as healthy individuals, can make a positive result difficult to interpret. How is the test performed? Although many methods are available for ANA detection, the indirect immunofluorescence antinuclear antibody test (IF-ANA) and enzyme immunoassay (EIA)/enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) are commonly used. Indirect IF-ANA involves incubating patient serum on a slide covered with a monolayer of cells from a malignant human epithelial cell line. These malignant cells are ideal for the ANA test as they have large nuclei in different stages of the cell cycle.

Along with your medical history, doctors use routine and specialized lab tests, and possibly even imaging tests like an MRI or ultrasound, to come to a conclusion. These can be used as much to rule out lupus as to indicate the disease. Doctors also look for symptoms in more than one of your body’s systems, such as the kidneys and the skin, as lupus is a systemic disease. Unfortunately, some people may suffer for months or years before a diagnosis is finally made. There are a number of factors that can complicate a lupus diagnosis. Chief among them is the fact that lupus is not one disease but an array of different subtypes, each with their own causes and characteristics. The many challenges facing clinicians include: There are no widely accepted criteria (rules) for diagnosis Lupus is a relapsing-remitting condition, meaning that symptoms can come and go.

Antigens can be toxins, bacteria, foreign blood cells and the cells of transplanted organs. Other antigens, called autoantigens, or self-antigens, are usually normal proteins in the body that are targeted by the immune system of lupus patients as foreign bodies. In other words, normal tolerance of these autoantigens has been lost in lupus patients, mainly to genetic and environmental factors. More on Antigens in Lupus Lupus is a systemic, or whole-body, autoimmune disease that affects a number of different organs like the kidneys, joints, skin, nervous system, blood cells, and blood vessels. When one of these organs is being attacked by a person's immune system, signs and symptoms related to that organ are manifested. For instance, if the immune system of a person with lupus is producing antibodies that are attacking the kidneys, symptoms like protein in the urine (which can produce foamy urine), high blood pressure, and/or a rise in the blood creatinine level often occur. The launch of an organ attack starts with the immune system thinking that a self-antigen (like a normal protein in the body) is something foreign and bad. The recognition of the antigen by the body requires a combination of events, like a genetic predisposition and one or more environmental triggers, like an infection. In other words, it takes a number of coincidental, unfortunate events—a perfect storm so to speak." }, { "docid": "D379925#0", "title": "https://www.hss.edu/conditions_undifferentiated-connective-tissue-disease-overview.asp\nDefinition", "text": "\"Definition The term \"\"undifferentiated connective tissue disease\"\" (UCTD) is used to describe a condition in people who have symptoms and lab test results that indicate a systemic autoimmune disorder or connective tissue disease, but which do not meet enough such characteristics to indicate a diagnosis for a well-defined connective tissue disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus) or scleroderma.

Hepatitis B is extremely prevalent with approximately 300-350 million people worldwide carrying the virus. Chronic infection persists in 25% of children under 5, and 70-90% of infected adults. In Africa and Asia, up to 20% of the population are symptomatic carriers. Many carriers never develop pathogenic symptoms and disease are usually so mild that the actual number of cases could be ten times than that reported. The distribution of Hepatitis B antibody, commonly used as a marker for infection, varies through out the world as does susceptibility to the development of hepatitis disease and liver cancer ( Hepatocellular Carcinoma) after exposure to the virus." }, { "docid": "D736905#0", "title": "https://www.healthtap.com/topics/weak-positive-ana-test\nTop 30 Doctor insights on: Weak Positive Ana Test", "text": "\"Top 30 Doctor insights on: Weak Positive Ana Test Share Follow @Health Tap </> Embed Dr. Julie Abbott1 doctor agreed:1 If I have a high positive ANA (1:640) speckled, nucleolar and low positive SMA (1:40), what further tests do I need to do?

Two-photon lithography stereotypically requires a thin glass slide, a lens and an immersion oil to help the laser light focus to a fine point where curing and printing occurs. The findings were published in the journal of ACS Applied Material and Interfaces. In the paper, researchers describe cracking the code on resist materials improved for two-photon lithography and forming 3-D microstructures with features less than 150 nanometer which is better in comparison to previous techniques which build structures from ground up, limiting the height of the objects. According to LLNL researcher James Oakdale, “In this paper, we have unlocked the secrets to making custom materials on two-photon lithography systems without losing resolution”, because the laser light refracts as it passes through the photoresist material, the cornerstone is discovering how to match the refractive index of the resist material to the immersion medium of the lens so the laser could pass through unimpeded. Investigators can now use X-ray computed tomography as an analytical tool to copy the inside parts without cutting them open and to investigate 3D printed objects by fine-tuning the material’s x-ray absorption. The only limiting factor is the time it takes to build, so the researchers are investigating how to speed up the process. These techniques could be used to harvest and probe the internal structure of targets for the National Ignition Facility, as well as optical and mechanical metamaterials and 3D-printed electrochemical batteries.

Accumulation of HCV RNA can be inhibited with alpha interferon (IFN-α) in vivo and in culture cells. We used cell-based assay systems to investigate the mechanisms responsible for the cytokine-induced inhibition of HCV replication. The results showed that IFN-α could suppress the accumulation of viral RNA by a noncytopathic pathway and could also induce apoptosis of virally infected cells in a concentration- and cell line-dependent fashion. Whereas the noncytopathic IFN-α response depended on a functional Jak-STAT signal transduction pathway, it did not appear to require double-stranded RNA-dependent pathways. Moreover, we found that functional proteasomes were required for establishment of the IFN-α response against HCV. Based on the results described in this study we propose a model for the mechanism by which IFN-α therapy suppresses HCV replication in chronic infections by both cytopathic and noncytopathic means. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a positive-stranded RNA virus that can cause productive, lifelong infections. Hepatocytes are the primary target for HCV infections, but other cells can also harbor viral RNA ( 5, 36 )." }, { "docid": "D84835#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/62523683/hiv-flash-cards/\nHIV", "text": "\"58 terms Motor Nurse HIVRNSG 1247 HIV; Test 1Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Sort HIV a ribonucleic acid (RNA) virus, or retrovirus, which means it replicates \"\"backwards\"\" by going from RNA to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

The presence of large amounts of serum antibodies to double-stranded DNA is specific for systemic lupus erythematosus, and some subgroups of these antibodies are pathogenic. It is likely that people are predisposed to have systemic lupus erythematosus if they can make pathogenic subgroups of antibodies to DNA and if they cannot down-regulate them appropriately. Studies of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and of murine models of the disease have provided information regarding the different types of antibodies to DNA, their role in pathogenesis, and new methods for suppressing the production or action of pathogenic antibodies to DNA in ways that target these subgroups more specifically than the currently used nonspecific immunosuppressive regimens. Different Types of Antibodies to DNAAntibodies to DNA were first described in 1957. 1-3 They constitute a subgroup of antinuclear antibodies that bind single-stranded DNA, double-stranded DNA, or both. They may be Ig M antibodies or any of the subclasses of Ig G antibodies. In general, tests for Ig G complement-fixing antibodies to DNA, especially those that bind double-stranded DNA, have the greatest diagnostic value in patients in whom systemic lupus erythematosus is suspected, and in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus the results often correlate with the clinical activity of the disease and with the risk of glomerulonephritis.

True liver function tests (LFTs) are those that measure synthesis of proteins made by the liver (albumin, clotting factors) or the liver's capacity to metabolise drugs [ 1]. LFTs are not specific to specific systems or disease processes, yet abnormalities may indicate significant or serious disease. Interpreting abnormal LFTs and trying to diagnose any underlying liver disease is a common scenario in Primary Care. Single abnormalities in LFTs are difficult to localise and diagnose [ 2]. However, the pattern of abnormalities tests helps determine origin of the issue. This usually means dividing the clinical picture into non-hepatic, hepatocellular and cholestatic patterns of abnormality. When this is then combined with a clinical history, medication and drug history and the presence of any current or recent symptoms, it is usually possible to develop a differential diagnosis [ 1, 3]. Abnormal LFTs do not necessarily indicate any underlying abnormality of function. Traditionally, 'normal' values are defined as being within ± 2 standard deviations of the mean (of a normally distributed range), meaning that just over 95% of a healthy population will fall within the 'normal range', but 2.5% of a normal population will be normal outliers lying above it, and a further 2.5% will be normal outliers lying below it. However, as liver disease is frequently asymptomatic, this argument should not be used as an excuse for inadequate investigation.

Does this mean I have Liver Disease?\"\" So many come to the internet with this question, and while high liver enzymes can indicate a problem, there is more to reading them than one might think, and other tests that may be a better indicator of liver function and serious liver damage or disease. Liver enzymes are a fairly accurate indicator of \"\"recent\"\" inflammation and damage that has occurred in the days leading up to the time blood is drawn for the test. They are a rather poor indicator of cumulative damage and amount of functioning liver tissue actually present at the time of the test. Other factors can influence these enzymes too, like extreme exertion and physical activity prior to the test. A young man with a big healthy liver may spike liver enzymes that are SKY-HIGH coming off a substantial alcoholic binge, while an older man with advanced fibrosis may have enzymes in the normal range, even if he is still drinking. Why? It takes large amounts of liver tissue to generate large amounts of liver enzymes and a diseased liver may contain less than a third of the functioning tissue it did when it was healthy. The remaining tissue in a damaged liver will still give off enzymes when inflamed, but their cumulative output just can't match the amount of enzymes an intact liver can produce when it is inflamed." }, { "docid": "D548980#0", "title": "https://www.healthtap.com/topics/causes-of-elevated-liver-function-tests\nTop 40 Doctor insights on: Causes Of Elevated Liver Function Tests", "text": "\"Top 40 Doctor insights on: Causes Of Elevated Liver Function Tests Share Follow @Health Tap </> Embed Dr. John Munshower4 doctors agreed:1 What could be the causes of an elevated liver function tests?

Readers Comments 15 Share Your Story Liver blood tests are some of the most commonly performed blood tests. These tests can be used to assess liver functions or liver injury. An initial step in detecting liver damage is a simple blood test to determine the level of certain liver enzymes (proteins) in the blood. Under normal circumstances, these enzymes mostly reside within the cells of the liver. But when the liver is injured for any reason, these enzymes are spilled into the blood stream.

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an important enzyme found throughout the body including the intestines, kidneys, liver, bones, and in the placenta of pregnant women. However, the bone and liver contain the highest concentrations of ALP in the body because they are the organs that greatly manufacture the enzyme. ALP is needed in liver physiology and bone development. ( 1) The blood contains ALP, which amount is maintained at a particular range of values. Gradual increase or decrease in blood ALP can indicate problems in the liver or bones. However, there are people that have high blood ALP but don’t have any liver or bone problems. They are children, adolescents, and pregnant women. Blood ALP is high in children and adolescents because their bones are growing.

The A1C test goes by many other names, including glycated hemoglobin, glycosylated hemoglobin, hemoglobin A1C and Hb A1c. The A1C test result reflects your average blood sugar level for the past two to three months.

Biologically, fructosamines are recognized by fructosamine-3-kinase, which may trigger the degradation of advanced glycation end-products (though the true clinical significance of this pathway is unclear). Fructosamine can also refer to the specific compound 1-amino-1-deoxy-D-fructose ( isoglucosamine ), first synthesized by Nobel laureate Hermann Emil Fischer in 1886. Most commonly, fructosamine refers to a laboratory test for diabetes management that is rarely used in clinical practice (simple blood glucose monitoring or hemoglobin A1c testing are preferred). Many direct-to-consumer lab testing companies sell fructosamine tests, but these are unnecessary and of limited clinical value.

Most commonly, blood sugars are measured by either blood glucose monitoring which measures the current blood glucose level, or by Glycated hemoglobin (Hb A1c) which measures average glucose levels over approximately 3 months. In a similar way to hemoglobin A1c testing (which measures the glycation of hemoglobin), fructosamine testing determines the fraction of total serum proteins that have undergone glycation (the glycated serum proteins ). Since albumin is the most abundant protein in blood, fructosamine levels typically reflect albumin glycation.

People with diabetes used to depend only on urine tests or daily finger sticks to measure their blood sugars. These tests are accurate, but only in the moment. As an overall measurement of blood sugar control, they’re very limited. This is because blood sugar can vary wildly depending on the time of day, activity levels, and even hormone changes. Some people may have high blood sugars at 3 a.m. and be totally unaware of it. Once A1C tests became available in the 1980s, they became an important tool in controlling diabetes.

How the A1c Test Works The glucose that the body doesn't store or use for energy stays in the blood and attaches to red blood cells, which live in the bloodstream for about 4 months. The lab test measures the amount of glucose attached to the red blood cells. The amount is the A1c and is shown as a percentage. Your A1c number can give you and your health care team a good idea of how well you've controlled your blood sugar over the previous 2 to 3 months. When you get your A1c result from a Kaiser Permanente lab, you'll also see another number called the estimated Average Glucose, or e AG. Understanding the e AGYour estimated Average Glucose (e AG) number is calculated from the result of your A1c test.

No. The A1C test measures the amount of glucose bound to hemoglobin in the red blood cells. This binding process is related to the concentration of glucose present and the time of exposure. New cells are constantly created to replace old cells that are removed. Thus, the test meaures an average value of the glucose exposure over the life of the red blood cell (about 4 months). So, a one-day change, due to fasting for example, represents only a small change (one day in 120 days).

Permalink URL http://farmdocdaily.illinois.edu/2014/09/basis-considerations-with-mpp-dairy.html Overview The 2014 Farm Bill created the Margin Protection Program for dairy producers (MPP-Dairy). MPP-Dairy is a voluntary and flexible program, run by the USDA Farm Service Agency, which makes payments when the national average income-over-feed-cost margin index falls below a farmer-selected coverage level (see Dairy Markets and Policy August, 29 2014 and farmdoc daily February, 12 2014 ). Different coverage options reflect a producer's ability to indemnify different margin levels (from $4 to $8 per hundredweight) and different coverage percentages of the farm's milk production (from 25% to 90%). In short, MPP-Dairy functions as a USDA sponsored put option, and is a financial loss management program which provides assistance to dairy farmers when the national measure of farm income, i.e., the MPP-Dairy margin, falls below a farmer-selected threshold. If the MPP-Dairy margin does not fall below the farmer-selected threshold it expires worthless and a farmer loses only the premium and administrative fees paid. Recently traders and market analyst have encouraged dairy farmers to consider the difference between their actual farm gate prices for milk and feed and the national averages used in the MPP-Dairy margin formula, i.e. their \"\"basis\"\", before making a participation decision. That is, dairy farmers with lower (higher) cash prices for milk or higher (lower) cash prices for feed relative to the national averages should consider purchasing higher (lower) levels of MPP-Dairy coverage. If basis between the cash margin and the MPP-Dairy margin is constant then the price series will fluctuate identically (perfect correlation) and there is no additional risk from the hedging strategy - what you see is what you'll get." }, { "docid": "D1011670#0", "title": "http://www.yourarticlelibrary.com/accounting/accounting-ratios/liquidity-ratios-meaning-and-measurement-with-calculations/59969\nLiquidity Ratios: Meaning and Measurement (With Calculations)", "text": "Liquidity Ratios: Meaning and Measurement (With Calculations)Article shared by : ADVERTISEMENTS: Read this article to learn about the meaning and measurement of liquidity ratios!Meaning: Liquidity means one’s ability to meet claims and obligations as and when they become due.

There have been three major reactor accidents in the history of civil nuclear power – Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima.

While internal stakeholders like corporate managers may use financial statement ratios to flag problems requiring attention, they have access to a far greater range of other financial information than external stakeholders to make their decisions. External stakeholders simply have the financial statements covering past periods as their only source of information to give them insights into the financial position and performance of the company. So a ratio analysis of the income statement and balance sheet to calculate the key financial ratios is vitally important to them. Typical external stakeholders include:existing or potential investors in the company and their share analyst.existing or potential loan providers (bank, finance company) in regard to a company's creditworthiness.existing or potential suppliers providing credit arrangement to the company (creditors)Key financial ratio areas These external stakeholders are most interested in using the financial ratio analysis to answer questions about 5 key areas of concern:the ability of the company to pay its bills as they become due.

The History of One-Way Streets Proposals to Convert Back to Two Way Two Kinds of One-Way Streets Economic Vitality Safety Pollution Social Cost Conclusion The latest fad among urban planners is to convert one-way streets to two way. The goal, they say, is to slow down traffic and make streets more pedestrian friendly. One-way to two-way conversions are being planned or implemented in Austin, Berkeley, Cambridge, Chattanooga, Cincinnati, Louisville, Palo Alto, Sacramento, San Jose, Seattle, St. Petersburg, and Tampa, among other cities. These proposals have become a major source of controversy in at least some of these cities, especially Austin, Cincinnati, and Chattanooga. By almost any measurable criteria -- safety, pollution, congestion, and effects on most local businesses -- one-way streets are superior to two way. The idea that two-way streets are superior because they are more pedestrian friendly is just a planner's fantasy that disguises their real intent: to create an auto-hostile environment. The History of One-Way Streets Most one-way streets in this country were first created from two-way streets in the 1930s through the 1950s. These conversions took place in areas built before the automobile became the prevalent form of transportation. Such areas tend to have narrower streets and smaller blocks than post-auto cities." }, { "docid": "D3189440#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_externality\nExternality", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Market externality)navigation search This article needs additional citations for verification.

The costs of the air pollution for the rest of society is not compensated for by either the producers or users of motorized transport. In economics, an externality is the cost or benefit that affects a party who did not choose to incur that cost or benefit.

[ 2]For example, manufacturing activities that cause air pollution impose health and clean-up costs on the whole society, whereas the neighbors of an individual who chooses to fire-proof his home may benefit from a reduced risk of a fire spreading to their own houses. If external costs exist, such as pollution, the producer may choose to produce more of the product than would be produced if the producer were required to pay all associated environmental costs.

Even a deck that meets IRC requirements can be bouncy; after all, the code is meant to provide minimum standards for safety, not for comfort. For decks and the first floors of houses, residential code is based on a vertical live loading (people and furniture) of 40 pounds per square foot (psf) plus a 10-psf dead load (the weight of the structure itself), for a total design load of 50 psf. In contrast, a typical commercial deck, say at a restaurant, built to the International Building Code (IBC) is designed for live loads of 100 psf, plus a 10-psf dead load. Anyone can build a residential deck to withstand IBC commercial loads, but it can be difficult to sell the extra cost of a framing package that exceeds residential code to a homeowner who doesn't understand the difference between a deck that can hold 10 people safely and one that can host a major social event with a large margin of safety.

More information about their colors. How Did I Get Brown-Banded Cockroaches? These cockroaches need warm temperatures to survive. As a result, they often enter homes looking for shelter, but the most common way that brown-banded cockroaches get inside a home is when infested furniture, food products, grocery items and electronics are brought into the house. Living areas with access to food and ample hiding places are favorite spots for brown-banded cockroaches. How Serious Are Brown-Banded Cockroaches?

Cockroach lingo Many insects lay eggs, but female Madagascar hissing cockroaches create a cocoon-like egg case called an ootheca and carry the eggs (and neonatal nymphs) inside their bodies. They then bear up to 60 living young, called nymphs. Cerci are two appendages (body parts that extend from the main body) that the roach uses to sense objects in its environment.

The only reason we [humans] need our head for basic survival is: (1) We [breathe] through our mouth or nose and the breathing rhythm is controlled in our brain. Cutting off our head would interphere with breathing although that could be maintained with a respirator. ( 2) Cutting off our head could lead to blood loss and a drop in blood pressure which would result in death due to lack of blood transport of oxygen and nutrition to our tissues. ( 3) Cutting off our head would prevent us from eating and we would die of starvation pretty quickly. All of these reasons for dying are not present in cockroaches and many insects in general: (1) Cockroaches [breathe] through spiracles which are in each body segment and the blood does not carry oxygen to the tissues. The spiracles deliver air to each cell of the body through a set of tubes called tracheae. The brain does not control the breathing through the spiracles.

This makes fifth wheels more stable and easier to control in windy conditions than conventional travel trailers. Often designed for long-term or full-time RV living, fifth wheels tend to be the most expensive, spacious and heaviest of the towable RVs, with taller ceilings, full-sized kitchen areas and multiple slide-outs to expand the living space when parked. They typically are 21'-40' long and sleep 4-8 people. Typical costs: Size and amenities (like slides-outs, a full master bedroom with bath or full-sized kitchen appliances) are the biggest factors in the price of fifth wheel RVs. Expect to pay $15,000-$50,000 for a new fifth-wheel RV up to about 30' long, with many of the comforts of home. For example, the 30' 2011 Coleman RV CTF259RE CT259 [ 1] sells for $29,000-$40,000 with an air-mattress sofa-bed in a slide-out area; a bedroom with a queen-size bed; bathroom with sink, shower and skylight; separate toilet stall; three-burner range and oven; microwave; double-door refrigerator; and more. A fifth-wheel RV up to 40' long with features similar to those in a luxury home can cost $50,000-$150,000. These may have multiple slide-outs, a full master bedroom and bath, full-sized appliances, an electric fireplace and more. For example, the 35' 2011 Carriage Cameo 35SB3 sells for $56,500-$74,000 with three slide-outs, bedroom with queen bed and bath with shower, home theater seating or two leather recliners, sofabed, furnace, ceiling fan and more." }, { "docid": "D2166850#0", "title": "http://www.richardflake.com/trailerchassisbuild.htm\n.", "text": "\"Teardrop Trailer Chassis Contents Dexter Torflex Axle Hub Face to Hub Face Chassis Fabrication Chassis Accessories Tongue & Gussets Axle & Hangars Paint & Finish Dexter Torflex Axle If you have trailer plans, and are interested in building a teardrop trailer, or a utility trailer, this page might be of interest.

Braided nylon twine is strung between the staffs to keep the seagulls off. Works on all canopies. WHY SEAGULL STOPPER WORKSWhile seagulls can land most anywhere they choose, they feel safe where they can move forward to take off and fly away. The braided nylon twine suspended above and around your canopy by the staffs of SEAGULL STOPPER is a hindrance to the bird’s flight. If seagulls were to land they would feel threatened by the confinement provided by SEAGULL STOPPER. Consequently, birds will avoid a canopy with SEAGULL STOPPER installed on it. EASY TO INSTALLSEAGULL STOPPER ATTACHES MAGNETICALLYSimply place the support plate on top of your canopy frame but below your canvas and place the magnet-and-staff assembly above your canvas directly over the plate.

What is Macrame? Macrame (or macramé), is a form of textile-making where fibers or cords are knotted rather than woven or knitted together. Square knots and half hitch knots are traditionally used, and sailors have long used macrame to decorate accessories and parts of ships. Most friendship bracelets are macrame, and this knotting technique can be used to create other styles of jewelry as well. Common materials used in macrame include cords made of cotton or linen , hemp , leather, twisted nylon and yarn. In recent years, paracord has become another popular material. Beads , charms , links and other accents can be knotted in with the cord to create a wide variety of designs. How to Macrame Though macrame involves knotting, the process of making macrame jewelry is almost like braiding.

Once these are separated, a photo is taken of the gel, providing a picture of the separated molecular parts. This process is called electrophoresis and helps us to better understand and identify the molecular components of living things. Forensics In the world of forensics, gel electrophoresis is used to obtain a DNA fingerprint of a criminal. This means that scientists can accurately tell whether two pieces of DNA, one found at a crime scene and one belonging to a suspect, are matches. Molecular Biology Microbiologists use gel electrophoresis on a regular basis. The process allows them to separate and organize DNA and RNA by size, thus making it easier to study them at the molecular level. Genetics Gel electrophoresis not only provides geneticists with a clearer picture of DNA, it also helps prepare DNA for cloning and genetic engineering. Microbiology Since microbiology is centered around the study of organisms at the tiniest levels, gel electrophoresis is helpful in pulling information out about these organisms.

Before I can show you how to make one of these simple and fun to watch motors' you might want to know what it is and how it works first, right? How it works: The homopolar motor is driven by the Lorentz force: as it moves through a magnetic field, the conductor is pushed through a magnetic field by opposing forces. This force induces a torque around the axis of rotation. [ 9] Because the axis of rotation is parallel to the magnetic field, and the opposing magnetic fields do not change polarity, no commutation is required for the conductor to keep turning. Brief History: In 1821, soon after the Danish physicist and chemist Hans Christian Ørsted discovered the phenomenon of electromagnetism, Davy and British scientist William Hyde Wollaston tried, but failed, to design an electric motor. Faraday, having discussed the problem with the two men, went on to build two devices to produce what he called \"\"electromagnetic rotation\"\". One of these, now known as the homopolar motor, caused a continuous circular motion that was engendered by the circular magnetic force around a wire that extended into a pool of mercury wherein was placed a magnet; the wire would then rotate around the magnet if supplied with current from a chemical battery. These experiments and inventions formed the foundation of modern electromagnetic technology.

We’ve already established that a homopolar motor is a type of electric motor, specifically it is one that uses direct current to power rotational movement, such as that generated by a battery. It was the first type ever built and demonstrated by Michael Faraday in 1821. Although not the configuration Faraday used, homopolar motors can be made out of a single AA or C battery, a single neodymium disc magnet and a piece of copper wire. They have two magnetic poles provided by the single permanent magnet that is used to produce the magnetic field, also required to generate rotational movement.

At the field, Brunner met with a small group of doctors and professors studying drone flight who’d been invited to witness Brunner’s second attempt at breaking the record. Only a few days earlier this same group of friends and colleagues had gathered to watch his first attempt, which failed after the drone entered an uncontrolled spiral and crashed to the ground. Fortunately, the necessary repairs were minimal and the group of onlookers seemed happy to watch the second attempt. One even told Brunner that the sound of the propellers accelerating was still stuck in his ears from the first attempt. In order to ensure the safety of those present, all were instructed of the possible dangers and told to stay in a “safety zone” during the actual flight, strong lighting was added to the drone to make it easier to see, a fail safe was added to shut off all the engines in case of failure, and police and officials were notified ahead of time.

Unlike virtually all other alcohol related vehicle offenses, it is not a criminal offense (misdemeanor or felony). Instead, it is a \"\"violation\"\" somewhat like a speeding ticket...like a very, very serious speeding ticket. To convict someone of DWAI the state must prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that a person operated a motor vehicle while their ability to safely and lawfully operate that vehicle was impaired by having consumed alcohol. A first time conviction can result in a fine of up to $500, a jail sentence of up to 15 days and will result in a 90 day suspension of your driver's license. A second conviction for DWAI within 5 years of another alcohol related vehicle offense dramatically increases all of those penalties. In addition, a conviction for DWAI will almost certainly lead to a substantial increase in your auto insurance rates. DWAI is often a charge that a person arrested for DWI will end up pleading guilty to as a result of a \"\"plea bargain\"\". Since it is not classified as a \"\"crime\"\" and has relatively small penalties, attorneys will often seek to convince district attorneys to agree to drop a DWI charge in return for a plea of guilty to DWAI. The likelihood that an attorney can, eventually, obtain such an agreement is often based on what kind of alcohol related driving record a defendant has." }, { "docid": "D1709376#0", "title": "https://www.pinterest.com/pin/91690542387239276/\nExplore Fair Projects, Science Projects, and more!", "text": "\"Which Permanent Marker is Most Permanent?

The Lemon Law rights period is the period ending two years from the date the vehicle was originally delivered to you, or after the first 24,000 miles of operation following original delivery of the vehicle to you—whichever occurs first. What is a repair attempt? A repair attempt is the replacement or adjustment of a part or component to correct a defect or condition. Only a repair performed by the manufacturer or its authorized dealer or agent can count as a repair attempt under the Lemon Law. If the dealership inspects or test-drives the vehicle without making any repairs, and you later prove that repair work should have been done, this visit would also count as a repair attempt. To document repair attempts, you will need to get a copy of the repair order for each repair visit. If your complaint involves a motor home, read your warranty materials carefully to determine the authorized dealer or agent for repair. Also, if your vehicle is a motor home and, while traveling, you go to an authorized dealer or repair facility that does not have the parts necessary to repair the defect or condition, and, rather than wait for the parts, you elect to continue traveling and have repairs performed at another repair facility, the visit to the first repair facility does not count as a repair attempt.

A rule specifying strict liability makes a person legally responsible for the damage and loss caused by his/her acts and omissions regardless of culpability (including fault in criminal law terms, typically the presence of mens rea ). Under strict liability, there is no requirement to prove fault, negligence or intention. Strict liability is prominent in tort law (especially product liability ), corporations law, and criminal law. For analysis of the pros and cons of strict liability as applied to product liability, the most important strict liability regime, see product liability. Contents [ hide ]1 Tort law1.1 Bicycle–motor vehicle collisions2 Criminal law3 See also4 References Tort law [ edit]In tort law, strict liability is the imposition of liability on a party without a finding of fault (such as negligence or tortious intent). The claimant need only prove that the tort occurred and that the defendant was responsible. The law imputes strict liability to situations it considers to be inherently dangerous. [ 1] It discourages reckless behavior and needless loss by forcing potential defendants to take every possible precaution. It also has the effect of simplifying and thereby expediting court decisions in these cases." }, { "docid": "D3072488#0", "title": "http://tlcouncil.org/example\nRecent Questions & Answers", "text": "\"Recent Questions & Answers Freight Claims – Broker Liability and Right to Reimbursement Question: We have a third party warehouse/transportation company hire and ship out our products to customers.

The 3rd party paid us for the claims and is now coming back stating that the carriers are refusing to pay. Can the 3rd party deduct from their carrier on a different/future invoice other than the originating shipment? Or should I advise the 3rd party to pursue collections? Am I correct that the 3rd party is a broker (they do not have their own fleet) so is not governed by Carmack either? Answer: There are really two parts to your question - the liability of the “third party warehouse/transportation company” (broker) to pay your loss or damage claims, and the rights of the broker to collect reimbursement from the responsible carriers. As to the first part, you indicate that you have a contract with the broker, and that the broker has been paying your claims." }, { "docid": "D1267069#0", "title": "http://www.duhaime.org/LegalDictionary/I/Impaired.aspx\nImpaired Definition:", "text": "\"Impaired Definition: A deterioration of an individual’s judgment and decrease in his or her’s physical ability. Used primarily in criminal law; driving under the influence of alcohol or disability law in regards to a person’s physical or mental impairment. Canada’s Criminal Code prohibits the driving or operation of a motor vehicle (car, truck, boat, snowmobile, aircraft, train or other) while that person’s ability is impaired by alcohol (§253):“Every one commits an offence who operates a motor vehicle or vessel or operates or assists in the operation of an aircraft or of railway equipment or has the care or control of a motor vehicle, vessel, aircraft or railway equipment, whether it is in motion or not, while the person’s ability to operate the vehicle, vessel, aircraft or railway equipment is impaired by alcohol or a drug; or having consumed alcohol in such a quantity that the concentration in the person’s blood exceeds 80mg of alcohol in 100ml of blood. ”A person can be so inebriated that he or she is unable to operate a vehicle; total impairment. Others, are below their normal ability to function: impaired. A breathalyzer provides evidence of impairment to drive a motor vehicle but there are many other ways to prove impairment. In R v Mc Kenzie, as far back as 1955, the Alberta Court observed that:“There appears to be no single test or observation of impairment of control of faculties, standing alone, which is sufficiently conclusive. There should be consideration of a combination of several tests and observations such general conduct, smell of the breath, character of the speech, manner of walking, turning sharply, sitting down an rising, picking up objects, reaction of the pupils of the eyes, character of the breathing. “If a combination of several tests and observations show a marked departure from what is usually considered as the normal, it seems a reasonable conclusion that the driver is intoxicated with consequent impairment of control of faculties and therefore that his ability to drive is impaired. ”Relying in part on R v Mc Kenzie, the Quebec Court of Appeal, in R v Laprise, wrote, in 1996:“The impairment of one's ability to drive is generally understood as meaning the alteration of one's judgment an decrease in one's physical abilities....

A hypothesis is a tentative, testable answer to a scientific question. Once a scientist has a scientific question she is interested in, the scientist reads up to find out what is already known on the topic. Then she uses that information to form a tentative answer to her scientific question. Sometimes people refer to the tentative answer as \"\"an educated guess.\"\" Keep in mind, though, that the hypothesis also has to be testable since the next step is to do an experiment to determine whether or not the hypothesis is right!A hypothesis leads to one or more predictions that can be tested by experimenting. Predictions often take the shape of \"\"If ____then ____\"\" statements, but do not have to. Predictions should include both an independent variable (the factor you change in an experiment) and a dependent variable (the factor you observe or measure in an experiment). A single hypothesis can lead to multiple predictions, but generally, one or two predictions is enough to tackle for a science fair project.

In patients with Grave's Disease (GD), PTU likely also exerts a beneficial effect on the immune disturbance underlying the development of GD, as discontinuation of PTU after an appropriate treatment course (12-24 months for most patients) is frequently association with disease remission, which may be long lasting or permanent. Some patients experience a bit of nausea, or mild stomach upset and many patients find that PTU leaves a bitter aftertaste. The initial dosing requirements depend in part on the severity of the hyperthyroidism present, and range from 100-400 mg daily in most patients. Given the short half life of PTU it usually needs to be taken in multiple daily divided doses. More severe hyperthyroidism may require initial treatment with higher doses of PTU. Patients with reduced kidney function or kidney failure often require a reduced dose of PTU. Drug allergies and side effects Side effects of PTU are rare, and may range from rash, itching, or hives, to more severe conditions such as agranulocytosis (the white blood cell count decreases or disappears, leading to increased risk of infection). Agranulocytosis is estimated to occur in ~1:400 patients. A warning sign of a problem with your white blood cells is the development of a sore throat, fever, or other indications of severe infection, which should prompt the patient to see their physician and obtain a white blood count test." }, { "docid": "D3444212#0", "title": "http://www.rxlist.com/high_blood_pressure_hypertension_medications-page2/drugs-condition.htm\nHigh Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Medications", "text": "\"High Blood Pressure Slideshow Pictures Take the Salt Quiz!Lowering Blood Pressure Exercise Tips Pictures What is high blood pressure (hypertension)?

Female sexual function requires the harmony of the physical, emotional, and social aspects of the patient. A woman’s “sexual self and self-image, intimate relationships, family, society, and culture” and “the complexities of her environment, sexual and partner history, past relationships, mental health status, current medical problems, and hormonal status” all impact female sexual function. 1 In men, “the pathways that lead to arousal and orgasm have been mapped,” 2 but this information is lacking for the female body. FSD was categorized into 4 types by the 1994 Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition: those affecting desire, arousal, and orgasm and a type associated with sexual pain. 3 Loss of libido or decreased sexual desire can be a serious adverse effect that impacts both men and women and can lead to decreased quality of life or relationship dysfunction. “ Libido problems may be related to hypogonadism, hyperprolactinemia, depression, fear of sexual failure, certain medications, or systemic illness.” 4 Many medications can be a cause of decreased or loss of libido. Loss of libido is inherently connected with all other aspects of sexual dysfunction, although it cannot be assumed that all medications that list sexual dysfunction as an adverse effect include specifically loss of libido. Patients can have orgasm dysfunction (anorgasmia) or erectile dysfunction without loss of libido, and some medications can affect just libido, just erectile function, or just orgasm function, whereas others can affect any combination." }, { "docid": "D3272826#0", "title": "https://www.dailydot.com/irl/what-does-transgender-mean/\nWhat it means to be transgender: A guide to a modern civil rights issue", "text": "IRLWhat it means to be transgender: A guide to a modern civil rights issue Ana Valens — 2017-06-05 06:30 am | Last updated 2017-06-09 11:52 am Photo via Quinn Dombrowski/Flickr (CC-BY-SA)From understanding the gender binary to being a good ally, we’ve got you covered.

Hormones like estrogen and progesterone are chemicals produced by glands in the body. Normally, these hormones help regulate body cycles, like menstruation. However, sometimes these same hormones can cause cancer to grow. The pathologist will perform tests on the breast cancer cells to determine if they have receptors that feed on estrogen or progesterone, stimulating their growth. If the cancer cells have these receptors, your doctor may recommend hormone therapy drugs, such as blockers or inhibitors. Both types of drugs help to destroy cancer cells by cutting off their supply of hormones. What do hormone blockers do to get rid of breast cancer? The most common hormone therapy drug is Tamoxifen.

There is an enzyme in the body called 5-Alpha-Reductase (5AR), which converts the hormone Testosterone into another hormone - Di-Hydro-Testosterone (DHT). The DHT is produced internally inside the body and also topically on the scalp. ( DHT which is formed inside the body is produced from the 5AR enzyme - Type 2. The DHT that is formed topically on the scalp is converted from the 5AR enzyme - Type 1. ) This DHT finds its way to the scalp hair follicles and then plugs into specific points inside the hair follicles, called Androgen Receptor Sites. Once there, the DHT causes a change in the growth pattern of the hair follicles, so that they start to grow smaller. The result is that the hair strands inside those affected hair follicles also grow smaller, thinner and weaker. Sometimes those hairs also grow lighter in color. At the same time, the blood vessels leading to the roots of those hair follicles also tend to shrink in size." }, { "docid": "D117350#0", "title": "http://www.rxlist.com/high_blood_pressure_hypertension_medications/drugs-condition.htm\nHigh Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Medications", "text": "\"High Blood Pressure Slideshow Pictures Take the Salt Quiz!Lowering Blood Pressure Exercise Tips Pictures What is high blood pressure (hypertension)?

It also allows sperm to develop properly. A hormone imbalance — for example, an increase in estrogen and decrease in testosterone — creates problems.

The body releases these hormones as part of its response to heart failure. For this and other reasons, beta-blockers have been shown to be effective for treating most people who have heart failure. Beta-blockers may work by slowing the heart rate, which allows the left ventricle (the main pumping chamber of the heart) to fill more completely. Some of these medicines may also help open or widen blood vessels in the body. This makes them especially useful in some people with certain forms of heart failure who may also have high blood pressure. Bisoprolol, carvedilol, and metoprolol are some of the beta-blockers that have been tested for use in the treatment of heart failure. Why It Is Used Beta-blockers can slow the progression of systolic forms of heart failure. Beta-blockers may be used to treat left ventricular systolic dysfunction in people who are stable and have no symptoms or only mild to moderate heart failure symptoms. Beta-blockers may be used together with other medicines that are usually used to treat heart failure, such as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or diuretics." }, { "docid": "D2970066#0", "title": "https://www.reddit.com/r/asktransgender/comments/1pet3i/transitioning_before_puberty_what_do_you_think/\n.", "text": "\" [–] tgjer 24 points 4 years ago *The definition of \"\"prepubescent gender dysphoria\"\" in medical literature gets really ambiguous.

If the parents are uncomfortable with their male child being \"\"feminine\"\" or female child being \"\"masculine,\"\" the parents need to deal with that and stop intentionally or unintentionally placing this discomfort on their child. If a child just has gender atypical interests or traits, helping their family and peers get over their discomfort with it will solve the problem.

In any valuation, it is important to remember that your spending should be limited to what your purpose dictates. So if you plan on selling your cuckoo clock, you have to make sure its market price is more than the appraiser’s fee. This is where preliminary appraisal enters. Before having the cuckoo clock appraised, you can perform a self-appraisal to estimate its worth. Appraising antique cuckoo clocks is less complicated when compared to other antique timepieces primarily because cuckoo clock production has mostly been limited to the Black Forest region in Germany.

Dr. George Daniels, CBE, DSc, FBHI, FSA (19 August 1926 – 21 October 2011) is considered by many to have been the finest horologist in the world during his lifetime and indeed, the last 250 years. Dr. Daniels was perhaps most famous for inventing the Co-axial Escapement, which revolutionised mechanical watchmaking. This has been used by Omega in their highest-grade watches since 1999. George Daniels was one of the few modern watchmakers who could create a complete watch by hand, including the movement, case and dial. To achieve this, he had to master the thirty-two individual disciplines which are required to make a watch. During his career, George Daniels completed 27 watches, (not including prototypes). Throughout his career he applied himself relentlessly to the major task of redesigning the mechanical watch escapement to compete and, in the long term, outperform, the quartz watch which had threatened its future.

With their attendant bureaucracies, formal religions, and other burgeoning societal activities, these cultures apparently found a need to organize their time more efficiently. A clock (from the Latin cloca - bell) is an instrument for measuring time and for measuring time intervals of less than a day - as opposed to a calendar. Those used for technical purposes, of very high accuracy, are usually called chronometers. A portable clock is called a watch. The clock in its most common modern form (in use since at least the 14th century) displays the hours, minutes and, sometimes, seconds that pass during a twelve- or twentyfour-hour period. One of the key drivers of inventing methods of keeping track of time were the farmers needs to determine the best time to plant.

Mechanical and automatic watch movements Some of the first movements were made of steel, featuring a one hour hand and had to be wound twice a day. The first self winding movement was invented for pocket watches in 1770 by Swiss horologist Abraham Louis Perrelet. Once the spring power mechanism was used to power the timepiece, the wrist watch evolved. The mechanism was designed to wind as the wearer moved, which is still the case today.

[ 1] The ring is normally worn to display the bezel on the upper or outer side of the finger. The word may also refer to a bezel setting for a stone, which is a general term for a setting holding the stone in place using a raised surrounding for the stone with a lip encircling and overlapping the edges of the stone, thus holding it in place. [ 2] Modern bezel settings typically use a band of metal containing a groove and a flange (i.e. projecting lip) to hold a watch crystal or gemstone in its setting. This was the earliest method of setting gemstones into jewelry, in historic examples often made by leaving a hole or slot in the ring with a thin lip which was bent over once the stone was inserted, holding it in place. An extension of the word used in this sense can refer to a rotatable rim on a clock or watch used to indicate certain data such as elapsed time. [ 3] [4]Other types of bezels, less used in modern jewelry, are \"\"swivel bezels\"\" where the bezel, perhaps just formed of a stone with a metal rod through it, can rotate, and \"\"box bezels\"\", where a \"\"box\"\" or cage forms the bezel, often sitting on the main ring hoop, and perhaps open at the top where there is a stone.

By William George Shuster The president of the United States lives under a microscope; every detail of the commander-in-chief’s life is examined and scrutinized, right down to what instrument the president chooses to tell the time. While a small piece of the presidential wardrobe, watches are selected by their owners carefully, and through observation and study, historians and horologists have been offered a glimpse into the lives of our nation’s leaders through their timepieces. U. S. presidents each have had and used a number of watches, most of them gifts from family, friends, colleagues, admirers and watchmakers. Dwight Eisenhower, for example, had enough watches “to open a small shop,” reported a Swiss watch and jewelry journal in 1956. Other presidents, including Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, Harry Truman and Bill Clinton, have been avid timepiece enthusiasts. Watches have been essential to U. S. presidents’ work and wardrobe since the Republic began. They’ve kept them on schedule, been personal keepsakes and even had their own moments of fame. They’ve ranged from gold watches to plastic-encased ones, from renowned to obscure brands, and many were worn during defining moments in U. S. history.

RATINGUnproven ORIGINIn 1996, naturopathic doctor Peter D’Adamo published the book Eat Right For Your Type, which presented the hypothesis that diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes tailored to one’s blood type are an effective tool for weight loss, increased energy, and the reduction of myriad other ailments. This has popularly become known as the “blood type diet”, for which he is the primary proponent. D’Adamo’s website provides this description: A naturopathic physician who is also an author, researcher-educator, Ivesian, amateur horologist, budding software developer and air-cooled enthusiast. He is considered a world expert in glycobiology, principally the ABO (ABH) blood groups and the secretor (FUT2) polymorphisms. Since its original publication, Eat Right For Your Type has sold over seven million copies, has been promoted by popular (but scientifically unreliable) health personalities like Dr. Oz and has created an entire industry built around the diet, including a series of follow up-books, cookbooks, a variety of blood tests for sale, and other supplements. There are many different ways to classify blood types, but the most common (and the primary one D’Adamo employs) is the ABO system, which is determined by the presence or absence of two genetically regulated antigens – A and B – attached to the surface of red blood cells. The four blood type groups are A, B, AB, and O. Superficially, there might appear to be a wealth of complex, technical, and well-documented support for the concept. In addition to his popular books, D’Adamo has written numerous detailed blog posts describing how blood types might affect the body." }, { "docid": "D219852#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escapement\nEscapement", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For other uses, see Escapement (disambiguation).

An escapement is a device in mechanical watches and clocks that transfers energy to the timekeeping element (the \"\"impulse action\"\") and allows the number of its oscillations to be counted (the \"\"locking action\"\"). The impulse action transfers energy to the clock's timekeeping element (usually a pendulum or balance wheel) to replace the energy lost to friction during its cycle and keep the timekeeper oscillating. The escapement is driven by force from a coiled spring or a suspended weight, transmitted through the timepiece's gear train. Each swing of the pendulum or balance wheel releases a tooth of the escapement's escape wheel gear, allowing the clock's gear train to advance or \"\"escape\"\" by a fixed amount. This regular periodic advancement moves the clock's hands forward at a steady rate. At the same time the tooth gives the timekeeping element a push, before another tooth catches on the escapement's pallet, returning the escapement to its \"\"locked\"\" state.

The Egyptians divided the day into two 12-hour periods, and used large obelisks to track the movement of the sun.

This was the earliest method of setting gemstones into jewelry, in historic examples often made by leaving a hole or slot in the ring with a thin lip which was bent over once the stone was inserted, holding it in place.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) will ensure access to health insurance for as many as 40 million currently uninsured Americans, and these patients are expected to flood the healthcare system, especially ambulatory care settings. The ACA also emphasizes primary care and prevention, 2 pillars of ambulatory care, along with the medical home model of care delivery. These changes will increase the demand for ambulatory care services and increase patient volume in existing practices. Nurses will be needed for newer ambulatory roles such as care coordination, chronic disease management, and telehealth. Fortunately, ambulatory care registered nurses (RNs) possess the unique skills that will be required in the new healthcare landscape. Ambulatory care RNs can facilitate patient care services by managing and individualizing care for patients and their families, who increasingly require assistance navigating the intricacies of the healthcare system. [ 1] In addition to the provision of complex procedural care, ambulatory care nurses provide support with decision-making, patient education, and coordination of services. [ 1]The bottom line is that ambulatory care nurses will be in great demand, and as hospitals hire fewer nurses, those who are looking for jobs will increasingly look to ambulatory care settings to secure positions.

The Palliative Care Information Act (PCIA) and the Palliative Care Access Act (PCAA) require health care providers to make available to patients with serious illnesses, and their families, information about their condition, their treatment options, and palliative care services. The PCIA requires physicians and nurse practitioners to offer terminally-ill patients information and counseling concerning treatment options, palliative care and end-of-life options. The PCAA imposes certain requirements on hospitals, nursing homes, home care agencies and two types of assisted living residences (enhanced and special needs) regarding palliative care. It requires these entities to make available information and counseling regarding options for palliative care and to facilitate access to palliative care to patients with advanced life limiting conditions and illnesses.1) Question: What is the Palliative Care Information Act (PCIA)?2) Question: What is the Palliative Care Access Act (PCAA)?3) Question: What is the difference between the Palliative Care Information Act and the Palliative Care Access Act?4) Question: What is palliative care and how can it help me?5) Question: What will palliative care add to the care I am receiving now?6) Question: Why would my health care practitioner suggest that I get palliative care?7) Question: What does it mean if I ask for palliative care?8) Question: What kind of questions would be good to ask my health care practitioner about palliative care if I think it might be good for me?9) Question: What questions should I ask of my health care practitioner to make sure that my personal beliefs, values, and goals are considered in the palliative plan of care?10) Question: If I want to have palliative care, can I keep my doctor or nurse?11) Question: What happens if I change my mind and want to stop getting palliative care?12) Question: If I ask for palliative care, does it mean I am \"\"giving up'?13) Question: How is palliative care different from hospice?14) Question: Do I have to be in a hospital to receive palliative care?15) Question: Can you explain how palliative care is paid for?

These questions do not represent an exhaustive summary of Program requirements and should be used for guidance on specific issues. For additional questions or clarification on those listed below, please direct questions to Care [email protected]. What is the definition of a Medicare Fee-for-Service (FFS) beneficiary? Are beneficiaries eligible for care transition services if they have Medicare Part A but do not have Medicare Part B coverage? A Medicare FFS beneficiary is defined in the legislation authorizing the Community-based Care Transitions Program (CCTP) as a beneficiary with Medicare Part A and B and not Part C. For this reason CMS will only be able to pay care transition services for those beneficiaries with both Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B. In addition, given that most care transition interventions promote a timely physician follow up visit post hospital discharge, it is critical that outpatient coverage is available to CCTP beneficiaries and that CMS has access to the outpatient claims for tracking and evaluation purposes. It is acceptable to put together an application that includes some beneficiaries that have Medicare Part A only. In such cases CMS will account for the slightly inflated volume when reviewing applications. Is participation in the Community Based Care Transition Program (CCTP) limited to the acute care hospitals listed in the high readmission hospital file posted on the program webpage?

There are various levels and types of integration, such as hospitals merging with hospitals and physicians aligning with physicians and hospitals and physicians affiliating. Additional services such as home health care, long-term care facilities, pharmacies, and more can be added to result in a continuum of care. A fully integrated delivery system is one that unites a financing group with all providers. The system is built on a foundation of primary care, and all facets of it operate under capitation, so everyone involved shares risk. The strategy of integrated delivery systems is to coordinate the seamless delivery of high-quality healthcare services over the continuum of care. \"\" Four P's\"\" Principles in Marketing Applied to Healthcare Industry: Product Place Price Promotion An example of the goal of integrated delivery systems is illustrated in the following advertisement by Northwestern Health Care: \"\"Northwestern Health Care because performance is what counts.

Organized medicine has just begun to look at the benefits of certain alternative treatments. The Cigna Health Care Medical Technology Assessment Council regularly reviews new treatments and technologies to help ensure that our members have access to effective treatments. Requests for coverage of an alternative therapy are reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the local Cigna Health Care physician-medical director to determine if the treatment has been proven scientifically to be effective (i.e. supported by peer review literature) and whether it is covered under the member's benefit plan. If there is proven effectiveness, and if the local medical director has additional questions, he/she may consult with an independent medical expert, who provides a complete objective assessment based on medical evidence.

However, unbeknownst to most people, you should employ valet parking tipping every time someone parks or retrieves for you. This shows the valet that you appreciate their efforts and they, therefore, will show respect to your car. Valet Parking Tipping is usually around $2 for each time the valet parks or retrieves your car if there is no parking fee. Now, if there is a parking fee that does not mean that the valet should not get a tip. In fact, the higher the parking fee, the bigger the tip the valet should receive. For example, if parking costs $5, the tip to the valet can still be $2. However, if the parking charge is $10, the valet should be tipped $3; if the parking charge is $15, the valet should be tipped $4; and if the parking charge is $20, the valet should be tipped $5. But, if the valet is not greeting you with a pleasant smile and niceties, no matter what the weather conditions or their personal life, you can always drop that tip right back down to $2.

Instead, the fees are added to the rate per day and paid on check-out. They're ostensibly charged to cover access to some facilities (pool, fitness room, business center) and for the phone, Internet access, coffee maker, bottled water, newspaper, and hotel shuttle. These fees have created an enormous amount of ill-will toward hotels by consumers, who (rightly) believe that they're \"\"hidden\"\" charges. They can be surprising, and confusing, to guests who haven't run across them before, when they see charges up to $39 per day they weren't expecting on their bill. And to add insult to injury, resort fees are taxed at the going hotel-room rate of nearly 14%, so there's an additional charge on top of the resort fee. Note that the dollar amounts in the chart below don't include the tax. Consumer advocates have suggested that if hotels want or need to raise room rates, they should simply raise them. If they want to include wifi, bottled water, newspapers, and other non-essentials in a low rate, they can create and market packages that include them as optional add-ons.

Do you leave a full 20% or just your change… or skip it all together because you feel dropping your .30cents into the tip jar would be more insulting than nothing at all? And the worst part? You are too tired to think because, well, you haven’t had your coffee yet. Lately, I’ve found myself having such a mental dilemma that I end up tipping way too much (Did I really just accidentally put the cost of the java I ordered in the jar? What’s the protocol on reaching in and taking it back… kidding… kind of…) and just flat out needed some help. Breezy Mama turned to Diane Gottsman — author of Pearls of Polish, an etiquette guide for today’s busy woman — to get her advice on how much gratuity to leave from car washes to hair cuts and various situations in between, who you should NEVER tip and more. How much do you tip when ordering your coffee at a counter, like Starbucks? A tip is not a “requirement”, however, if he/she calls you by name and has your order ready when you walk in the door, it’s a great gesture to tip. You can throw in your change from the drink or $1.00 if you really want to be generous." }, { "docid": "D2711908#0", "title": "https://www.airportparkingreservations.com/off_airport_parking_ord\nCheap Chicago O'Hare ORD Airport Off Site Parking Options", "text": "\"Cheap Chicago O'Hare ORD Airport Off Site Parking Options Find the best prices & best value ORD Airport parking options here!Most Convenient Airport Parking Only Best Value+ Hotel & Parking Package Departure Airportee SEARCHWhat Can You Save with Airport Parking Reservations.com?

Identifying your occasional pest infestation Have you ever spied a bug dashing across your kitchen floor or scurrying under a baseboard and thought, “What in the world is that?” It’s clearly not a “common” pest like, say, a cockroach or spider. It’s something… different. If you’ve ever had this experience, the bug in question likely falls in a category we call “ occasional invaders .”As their name implies, occasional invaders are pests that, on occasion, may find their way into our homes, but are not as common as frequent household pests, such as ants, rodents or termites. Some occasional invaders pose more serious threats than others. To determine the risk to your family, you will need to identify the species. A trained pest professional will be able to properly identify a pest species and its threats, but you can also use this guide to do your best at determining what may be lurking within your home: Boxelder Bugs What to look for : Boxelder bugs are black with distinct reddish or orange markings on their dorsum and have an elongated, somewhat flattened shape.

Should I use a weed and feed product? ” – Bill Centipede grass is a warm-season turf grass, which means its growing season begins in late spring and lasts through the summer, then it goes mostly dormant or brown for the winter. The beginning of the growing season is called “green up,” as the grasses once again send up bright green blades and the lawn starts actively growing. Although usually occurring in April, the exact timing of the spring green up depends on the temperatures in your particular microclimate. During the green up period, the new growth in your lawn is very tender and can be harmed by the broadleaf herbicides in weed and feed products. In addition, feeding too early can cause growth that may be damaged by late cold snaps. The ideal time to apply fertilizer, or weed and feed products, to centipede grass is a few weeks after green up, but before temperatures start topping 85° F. That’s usually around mid-May, but let your lawn be your guide. Here are a few tips to keep in mind: Centipede grass doesn’t respond well to high doses of fertilizer. Too much nitrogen will cause a flush of growth susceptible to disease, and phosphorus will deplete iron levels." }, { "docid": "D2274851#0", "title": "http://ths.gardenweb.com/discussions/2358323/signs-of-snakes-in-house\nsigns of snake (s) in house", "text": "\"Home Disasterssigns of snake (s) in housejan MD September 30, 2004Yesterday we discovered four (4!!) shed snake skins in our basement above the insulation near the ceiling.

The film tells the story of a Germansurgeon who kidnaps three tourists and joins them surgically, mouth to anus, forming a \"\"human centipede \"\", a conjoined triplet. It stars Dieter Laser as the creator of the centipede, Dr. Josef Heiter, with Ashley C. Williams, Ashlynn Yennie, and Akihiro Kitamura as his victims. According to Six, the concept of the film arose from a joke he made with friends about punishing a child molester by stitching his mouth to the anus of a \"\"fat truck driver\"\". Inspiration for the film also came from Nazi medical experiments carried out during World War II, such as the crimes of Josef Mengele at the Auschwitz concentration camp. When approaching investors prior to filming, Six did not mention the mouth-to-anus aspect of the plot, fearing it would put off potential backers. The financiers of The Human Centipede did not discover the full nature of the film until it was complete. The film received generally mixed reviews from mainstream film critics, but it won several accolades at international film festivals.

A fully grown adult may reach 1.5 inches in body length, but its many long legs make it appear much larger. The last pair of legs on a female house centipede is elongated and may be twice as long as the body. The house centipede is light yellow-brown in color, with three dark longitudinal stripes down its body." }, { "docid": "D2782466#0", "title": "https://www.blueskypest.com/blog/common-centipedes-arizona/\nCommon Centipedes in Arizona", "text": "Common Centipedes in Arizona By: Nathan Woolf Date: January 7, 2014Did you know that there are thought to be over 8,000 varieties of centipedes worldwide?

Centipedes have one pair of legs attached to most of these body segments, they can have up to 177 pairs of legs. Centipedes differ from millipedes; millipedes have two pairs of legs on most segments and bodies which are not flattened. Centipedes are between 1-6 inches, and the House Centipede is 1-1/12 inches.

Carpool or high-occupancy vehicle lanes are lanes of traffic designated for vehicles with more than one commuter. According to California’s Department of Transportation, nearly half of all the traffic on state highways travels through HOV lanes. HOV lanes can be used by solo drivers of motorcycles and people with white or yellow clean-air stickers on their cars (shown above). That means stickered vehicles like the Honda Civic Hybrid and Toyota Prius can drive down the carpool lane without remorse. Well, with hybrids being as popular as they are in California — 85,000 people have an exemption sticker on their hybrids already — the state has decided to let the stickers lapse or expire at the end of this year. Hybrid cars with only one occupant in them would have to merge back into the mixed-flow lanes. We’re in favor of this move as the idea behind carpool lanes is to move more people, not more cars. We understand the concept behind the yellow clean-air stickers was to promote hybrids, which get double the mileage of many other vehicles on the road, but there are a number of 30-plus mpg cars on the road today that aren’t hybrids. Of course, buyers of the Tesla Roadster, Honda’s fuel cell FXC Clarity or Honda’s compressed gas Civic GX would still be permitted to drive in the HOV lane with one driver as those drivers are a part of a much more elite class of white clean-air-sticker holders." }, { "docid": "D835524#0", "title": "http://wikitravel.org/en/Houston\nHouston", "text": "\"Houston Book a Hotel In Out Check Rates Districts Understand Get in By plane By train By car By bus Get around By car By public transportation By Taxi By Limousine By bicycle See Do Parks Events & Festivals Sports Theater and Performing Arts Buy Groceries and other basics Eat Eating Local Sleep Stay safe Crime Weather METRO Rail Houston is a huge city with several district articles containing sightseeing, restaurant, nightlife and accommodation listings — have a look at each of them.

Peak-hour traffic congestion is an inherent result of the way modern societies operate. It stems from the widespread desires of people to pursue certain goals that inevitably overload existing roads and transit systems every day. But everyone hates traffic congestion, and it keeps getting worse, in spite of attempted remedies. Commuters are often frustrated by policymakers’ inability to do anything about the problem, which poses a significant public policy challenge. Although governments may never be able to eliminate road congestion, there are several ways cities and states can move to curb it. POLICY BRIEF #128The Real Problem Traffic congestion is not primarily a problem, but rather the solution to our basic mobility problem, which is that too many people want to move at the same times each day. Why? Because efficient operation of both the economy and school systems requires that people work, go to school, and even run errands during about the same hours so they can interact with each other.

These impacts are most significant under urban-peak conditions when traffic volumes approach a road’s capacity. The resulting congestion reduces mobility and increases driver stress, vehicle costs and pollution ( Congestion Costs ). Traffic congestion is considered one of the main urban transportation problems (in this case, “urban” includes suburbs, and even small resort communities during tourist season or other major events), with an estimated cost of approximately $120 billion annually in the U. S., and comparable costs in other countries ( INRIX 2009; TTI 2013).

The decision is crucial, if we are behind the Aveo, then you can safely add 15 minutes to our commute and start out the day behind. If we are ahead, there is time get a quick cup of coffe and start the day out right. HOV lanes are necessity in the DFW area, if they are used as intended, they only one allowed to use them are motorcycles, and four wheeled vehicles with 2 or more passengers. This keeps the lanes relatively clear of jam-ups and makes the commute consistent. That “if” however is a big one.

They are also known as carpool or diamond lanes. The HOV system consists of a network of special-use highway lanes which connect major population and employment centers. It forms a crucial part of the central Puget Sound area's highway system. HOV lanes are designed to maximize the movement of people rather than vehicles. They usually move more people than a general purpose lane, even when they don't look full. For example, you may only see one bus per minute, but buses can carry the equivalent of 45 or more cars. Studies show that HOV lanes encourage commuters to travel together. Many people who do not usually drive alone on the freeway during rush hours would switch to solo freeway driving if the HOV lanes were opened to all traffic – including many of the people who are currently riding the bus, carpooling, and vanpooling. Enough demand exists for peak period freeway space to quickly result in just another clogged lane if HOV lanes were opened to all traffic all the time." }, { "docid": "D562614#0", "title": "https://www.acronymfinder.com/Science-and-Medicine/HOV.html\nWhat does HOV stand for?", "text": "What does HOV stand for?

But you must remember that the 14% guideline proceeds from the assumption of averages. It's relatively accurate, too – for both living males and females. A skeleton that has been bleaching in the desert sun for two years weighs less than it did when it was part of a living organism. The fellow who weighed over 1,000 pounds surely did not have a skeleton that weighed over 140 pounds.

Its skeleton, unearthed in the Patagonia region of Argentina, is the first of this species and the most complete ever found in the group of gargantuan dinosaurs known as titanosaurs, scientists reported on Thursday. An international team led by Kenneth J. Lacovara, a paleontologist at Drexel University in Philadelphia, describes the fossil in the journal Scientific Reports. “What we can say with certainty is this is the biggest land animal that we can actually put a number on,” Dr. Lacovara said. Even what remains of the bones is huge. “ We’ve got 16 tons of bone in my lab right now,” Dr. Lacovara said. The better-known Brachiosaurus weighed only 75,000 pounds; an empty Boeing 737-900 weighs about 93,700 pounds.

There are too many legs jointed in too many places. The abdomen pulses, the antennae twitch, and tiny oral appendages shift food to the mouth.

Such an experience may strengthen the conclusion that arthropods are so different from us that they are essentially alien life forms. But such an extreme first impression is not really justified.

Over the years hyenas and humans have come into close contact in Africa and, in earlier times, in Asia and in Europe, often leading to mutual predation. In ancient Egypt hyenas were domesticated, fattened and eaten, and in turn humans have on occasion become food for hyenas. Reputed to be cowardly and timid, the hyena can be bold and dangerous, attacking animals and humans. Physical Characteristics Of the three species of hyena in Africa, only the spotted hyena and the shy and much rarer, striped hyena ( Hyaena hyaena) are found in East Africa. The smaller, and even shyer brown hyena ( Hyaena brunnea) occurs only in southern Africa. Different from most other animals, female spotted hyenas are dominant over the males and outweigh them by about 3 pounds. It is difficult to distinguish male and female hyenas by observation in the field. They are not hermaphrodites (having both male and female sexual organs), nor can they change their sex at will, as many people believe. Although the external female genitalia have a superficial similarity to those of the male, they are nonetheless female organs and only the females bear and nurse young." } ]

Though once abundant over much of Eurasia, North Africa and North America, the gray wolf inhabits a reduced portion of its former range due to widespread destruction of its territory, human encroachment, and the resulting human-wolf encounters that sparked broad extirpation. Even so, the gray wolf is regarded as being of least concern for extinction by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, when the entire gray wolf population is considered as a whole. Today, wolves are protected in some areas, hunted for sport in others, or may be subject to population control or extermination as threats to livestock, people, and pets. Gray wolves are social predators that live in nuclear families consisting of a mated pair, their offspring and, occasionally, adopted immature wolves. They primarily feed on ungulates, which they hunt by wearing them down in short chases. Gray wolves are typically apex predators throughout their range, with only humans and tigers posing significant threats to them. Genetic studies reaffirm that the gray wolf is the ancestor of the domestic dog. A number of other Canis lupus subspecies have been identified, though the actual number of subspecies is still open to discussion.

The most common type of hygrometer, which is called a psychrometer, uses two thermometers: one with a wet bulb and one with a dry bulb. Temperatures drop as moisture evaporates from the wet bulb, and the relative humidity is determined by comparing the temperature differences between the two thermometers. Both hair and wet/dry hygrometers measure relative humidity reasonably accurately in a closed-room environment.like tweet plus mail" } ]

The amount of moisture in the air makes a huge difference in how comfortable people are and when storing certain valuable possessions. In this lesson, we will explore the definition and uses of a tool called a hygrometer. Definition of a Hygrometer Imagine traveling to Paris to see what is arguably the world's most famous painting: the Mona Lisa. You spend thousands of dollars on your flight and hotel, stand in line to get into the Louvre, and then enter the room containing the Mona Lisa, only to find that it has been removed due to damage done by high humidity!Paintings and other artwork are highly reactive to moisture in the air and can become severely damaged if it is too high. Thankfully, this hasn't happened in the history of the painting, and this can be credited to one device: the hygrometer. A hygrometer is a tool used to measure the moisture content of the air." }, { "docid": "D3487245#0", "title": "http://web2.uconn.edu/poultry/NE-127/NewFiles/air%20temp2.html\nBIOMEASUREMENT AND EXPERIMENTAL TECHNIQUES FOR AVIAN SPECIES.", "text": "\"Instruments for Measuring Air Quality Part 2 of 3Air quality characteristics are quantified with instruments that provide numbers. With these numbers we can compare our environment against a standard and then seek improvement in environmental characteristics. We also can evaluate environmental changes over time. For example, a simple thermometer will tell us that air temperature in a dairy barn is 78°F, yet we know that dairy cows are most comfortable at 60°F or colder (assuming reasonable humidity level). Our goal would be to lower the temperature or compensate for the heat stress in other ways.

It describes the available technologies and their performance characteristics, and it provides recommendations for verification and validation of performance. The shelf life of a drug is a function of the temperature and humidity conditions under which it is stored and transported as well as the chemical and physical properties of the drug substance and preparation. For this reason, the ability to monitor those conditions is important in the shipping and storage of temperature- and humidity sensitive preparations. Historic geographic and seasonal trends may be used as a planning tool in selecting among the types of temperature and humidity monitoring devices. Meteorological forecasts are available for any pertinent location. TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT TECHNOLOGIESThe devices described in this section are those most commonly used to monitor temperature in the storage and distribution of drugs in North America. The measurement of temperature at extremes, such as close to absolute zero or above those reasonably expected to be experienced by drugs, is not addressed.

A. Shapira If you enjoy smoking cigars, but you haven’t yet began to start your collection; purchasing a humidor should really be your first step – even before buying cigars. As we’ve discussed before, a humidor is the vault you lock and store your cigars in. It’s made with a specific purpose in mind and that’s to allow you to safely store and age your cigar collection in a pristine environment that is made to exacting standards ensuring your cigars remain fresh and healthy for years to come by generating a precise level of humidity so they don’t dry out. In most cases, a humidor is a term used to describe a room or a box that is capable of maintaining a very specific temperature and humidity level. While it’s most commonly used to store cigars, it can really be used to store a variety of tobacco products including cigarettes and pipe tobacco. In fact, humidors throughout history have been used to store many different products that require a certain level of humidity. One famous example is the Colorado Rockies baseball team which stores its baseballs in a humidor to counteract the the high altitude in the area. Regardless of what the humidor is being used for, or whether it’s a small box or a large room, all humidors are made the same and rely on a few tools to keep them regulated. Types of Humidors There are three main types of humidors.

Humidity affects performance of materials in the environment, industrial processes and physical well-being, but for hygrometers to measure humidity effectively, they must contact the environment that affects each type of process. Contamination, degradation and calibration issues arise, so effective measurement requires many types of hygrometers and calibration processes to get reliable results. In complicated industrial processes, small changes in humidity levels can generate significant variances. Sensors must control or contain variables such as pressure, temperature and the environment or materials being measured to get accurate readings. Humidity plays a role in every manufacturing process, so monitoring moisture and sometimes correcting humidity becomes critical. One of the simplest examples of the effects of humidity becomes evident when baking bread and cakes where moisture affects how these foods rise. Types of hygrometers perform an astonishing range of work in homes, offices, manufacturing plants, hospital environments, research labs, drying processes, food production facilities, incubators, greenhouses, museums and textile and paper industries.

BREAKING DOWN 'International Bank Account Number - IBAN'The IBAN number consists of a two-letter country code, followed by two check digits, and up to thirty alphanumeric characters. These alphanumeric characters are known as the basic bank account number (BBAN). It is up to the banking association of each country to determine which BBAN they will select as the standard for that country's bank accounts. Currently, only European banks use the IBAN although the practice is becoming popular in other countries. In the register of countries, currently using the IBAN system, several examples are as follows: Albania: AL35202111090000000001234567Cyprus: CY21002001950000357001234567Kuwait: KW81CBKU0000000000001234560101Luxembourg: LU120010001234567891Norway: NO8330001234567The History of the IBANThe IBAN developed out of diverging national standards for bank account identification.

The IBAN, developed to help improve the payments system within the European Union, uniquely identifies a customer's bank account through a structure that is unique to each account holder. The account holder's financial institution assigns the unique IBAN. Use of an IBAN within international wire transfer instructions will improve the efficiency and speed of cross-border euro payments by allowing straight-through processing which leads to a reduction in payment errors, processing delays and processing fees. Starting in January 2007, IBANs and Bank Identifier Codes (BIC) will become mandatory for international wire transfers to European countries. Only the bank servicing an account can provide the correct IBAN of that account and the related BIC. Firstmark Credit Union members wishing to make wire transfers to Europe need to contact the (recipient) account owner who will obtain the IBAN from their European financial institution. International wires that are processed without a proper IBAN and BIC could be refused, delayed or assessed significant processing fees by the beneficiary's financial institution. It is recommended that IBANs be used for payments to the following countries: Andorra France Lithuania San Marino Austria Germany Luxembourg Serbia and Montenegro Belgium Gibraltar Macedonia Slovak Republic Bosnia and Herzegovina Greece Malta Slovenia Croatia Hungary Monaco Spain Cyprus Iceland Netherlands Sweden Czech Republic Ireland Norway Switzerland Denmark (including Faroe Islands and Greenland) Italy Poland Tunisia Estonia Latvia Portugal Turkey Finland Liechtenstein Romania United Kingdom What does an IBAN include?

The idea of SEPA is to make it easier to transfer money and electronic payments between the countries within the SEPA area. This means a smoother, borderless payments zone.

The rosette-shaped spots that typify leopards are actually present on melanistic animals, those with abundant black pigmentation, but are hidden by the surplus of pigment. Melanism can be an evolutionarily favorable mutation for animals living in the low light of dense forests and hunting at night, which could explain why black leopards are common in Asiatic forests despite the recessive nature of the mutation. Geographic Range Black leopards occur predominantly in southwestern China, Bhutan, India and Myanmar, and throughout the Malay peninsula including the island of Java. In these areas, melanistic leopards are more common than those with the lighter-colored pelts of animals with dominant genes. In the Malay peninsula, nearly all leopards reported are melanistic. The melanistic mutation is less common in Africa, but individuals have been reported in Ethiopia, Kenya and the equatorial forests of Cameroon. Natural selection may play a role in the predominance of black leopards in Asia, where the melanistic coloration is more of an asset than in the African savanna. Habitat Leopards are found in nearly all types of habitat, including savannas, forests, scrublands and desert.

Rainforests are gifts of nature and are home to numerous species of animals. The typical climate conditions are responsible for the manner in which rainforests have grown. The American, the African and the Asian rainforests, precious biomes of the world, display a spectacular variety of groups of animals and plants. It is quite interesting to know how the animals in the rainforests adapt to the changing environment and evolve as 'successfully survived species'.

Flag Where does the name jaguar come from and what does it mean? Answer by Patwoods Confidence votes 19.1KThe noun jaguar is a Portugese word which came into that language around 1600. It originated from the language of the Tupi - Native American - people of Brazil and Paraguay; the Tupi word was jaguara, which is believed to have referred to any large predatory animal. The name of the British car, Jaguar, was adopted following the Second World War; the company making the car was the Swallow Sidecar Company, which used the initials 'SS' as a brand. The Nazi SS, or Schutzstaffel, was Hitler's paramilitary force, understandably unpopular with the British, so the company had to find a new brand name for their cars. The name, of course, comes from the animal, jaguar, chosen because of the creature's famous beauty, sleekness and speed.2 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

The dark spots on their coats are unlike any other cat spots. Each spot looks like a rose and are called rosettes. Size Jaguars are the biggest cats in the Americas and the third largest cats in the world, according to Defenders of Wildlife. From head to flank, these cats range in length from 4 to 6 feet (1 to 2 meters).

Going undetected makes it easier to catch food – and easier to avoid becoming someone else’s. In any species, the individuals that stand out the most will be the first to be eaten and the last to catch their own dinner, and so natural selection picks the ones with the best camouflage. There are several different kinds of camouflage. The most basic is to hide under a rock, or in sand or leaves. This is sometimes called ‘crypsis’, and some animals will incorporate bits of their environment on their bodies to improve the effect. Three-toed sloths have algae growing in their fur, which gives them a dark green hue that helps them hide among the trees. Coral crabs deliberately attach young polyps to their shells so they resemble part of the reef. The next step is to change your own body colouration. Mammals have a colour palette restricted to white, black, brown and yellow, but fish, amphibians, reptiles and birds can all produce a vivid array of greens and bright red." }, { "docid": "D2233116#0", "title": "http://animals.mom.me/jaguars-day-2287.html\nWhat Do Jaguars Do All Day?", "text": "\"Jaguars are elusive and solitary animals. As a threatened species, their reduced numbers impedes scientists’ abilities to observe them. According to Big Cats Rescue, they are active 50 to 60 percent of the day. Because their natural habitat is in dense jungles, observing their daily behavior has been difficult for scientists to do. Jaguars are fairly easy to observe in captivity, as most zoos have them on display, but their daily habits vary significantly from captivity to the wild. Relaxing Jaguars spend a large portion of their daily lives napping while draped across a branch of a tree hidden in the tropical forest. They seek the shade of the trees to protect them from the heat and to offer a secure place to nap during the daytime. If at all possible, a jaguar will select an area that is near a slow-moving river or some other water source like a lake or wetlands. Unlike most cats, jaguars are excellent swimmers and enjoy the water.

How does a black panther protect itself? What eats snow leopards? Full Answer Leopards often share habitats with other predators, such as lions, tigers, hyenas, bears and wild dogs. When larger predators are prevalent, leopards tend to go after smaller prey and change hunting habits to avoid them. They not only hide in trees but also flee into trees to avoid predation, drag the carcasses of their kills into trees to protect them from scavengers and stash their young in trees to keep them safe. To catch prey or avoid predators, they can run up to 36 mph, bound 20 feet forward or leap 10 feet straight up into the air." }, { "docid": "D3242123#0", "title": "https://prezi.com/u2edbowucevo/amazon-rainforest/\nAmazon Rainforest", "text": "\"Public & reusable Create your own Make a copy Share Embed Like Amazon Rainforest No descriptionby Alexis Miniacion 1 May 2013Tweet Comments ( 0)Please log in to add your comment.

Flag What do kangaroos use their tail for? Answer by On the Wallaby Confidence votes 291KPassionate about all things Australian A kangaroo's tail helps it to bound and spring up from the ground. It has been noted that, if a kangaroo's tail is lifted off the ground, it cannot jump properly. The tail is also used for balance. Recent research has also indicated that the tail is more important than the forelimbs when a kangaroo walks. A kangaroo cannot move its hind legs independently (except when swimming), so when a kangaroo moves slowly, it has always been thought to drag itself forward by its forelegs. This is not the case, however. Research has shown that the tail is vital for propelling the kangaroo forward. Scientists have discovered that there is much more propulsion energy provided by the tail than was previously thought.24 people found this useful Was this answer useful?" } ]

Thorsten Milse/ Getty Images Take a close look at a kangaroo's hind foot and you'll notice that its toes aren't symmetrical like ours. Instead, kangaroos have an enlarged fourth toe on each foot. Starting from the inside of the foot, a kangaroo's first toe is tiny and may not even be present [source: Myers ]. The second and third toes are small and appear fused together, though there are separate nails. Things get exciting when we reach the fourth toe since it's at the center of the hopping action. A kangaroo's leg bone aligns with this oversized digit, allowing it to propel the foot off the ground.

It’s believed that more exotic animals live in American homes than are cared for in American zoos. The exotic-pet business is a lucrative industry, one that’s drawn criticism from animal welfare advocates and wildlife conservationists alike. These people say it’s not only dangerous to bring captive-bred wildlife into the suburbs, but it’s cruel and it ought to be criminal too. Yet the issue is far from black or white. At least not to Leslie-Ann Rush, a horse trainer who lives on a seven-acre farm outside Orlando, Florida, a place where the wind makes a rustling sound when it whips through the palms. Rush, 57, who has a kind face and hair the color of corn, breeds and trains gypsy horses she houses in a barn behind her small petting zoo, a wire enclosure where three male kangaroos, four lemurs, a muntjac deer (originally from Asia), a potbellied pig, a raccoon-like kinkajou called Kiwi, and a dog named Dozer all live—the lemurs leaping freely, the kangaroos sleeping on their sides, the petite pig rooting in the ground, the Asian deer balancing its rack of antlers on its delicate head. Rush weaves in and around her exotic pets with ease and cheerfulness and Cheerios, doling them out to the lemurs. They thrust their humanlike hands into the open boxes and draw out fistfuls of O’s, which they eat almost politely, one by one, dining daintily while the drool gathers in the corners of their mouths.

Despite automobiles also have clutches, there is very little similarity in the operation of those compared with a CVT (continuous variable transmission) in a golf cart. Although the clutch on an automobile and those on golf carts are responsible for transferring power from the engine to the transmission which is about their only similarity. Golf cart clutch removal must begin with identifying your golf cart by finding your serial number or VIN # . Once found, call us or a local dealer to look up the year and model. You may need this information later to locate the proper clutch puller for your vehicle. On a golf cart, the CVT is comprised of three parts; the drive clutch or primary clutch on the engine, the driven or secondary clutch on the differential, and the belt which connects the two. As the rpms of the engine increase, the drive clutch spins with it and with the use of flyweights and centrifugal force, the clutch pulls inward on the belt. Due to the sloped faces of the clutch, this causes the belt to ride higher on the clutch faces thus tightening the belt tension. The reaction is that the belt is pulled down between the clutch faces of the driven clutch." }, { "docid": "D1058564#0", "title": "https://www.glen-l.com/weblettr/webletters-5/wl43-propshaft.html\nInboard Hardware: Propeller Shafts", "text": "\"Inboard Hardware: Propeller Shafts Continued...

Machine keys are usually made of steel or stainless steel and plated with zinc for wear and oxidation resistance. Keyseating Process Keyseating is a machining process in which a machine key's mating internal shapes and forms are cut using a reciprocating, single-point cutting tool—similar to the shaping process. The keyseating cutter is clamped into a holder. Together with a feed bar, it is able to move vertically within a tool guide. Keyseating machines, also called keyseaters, are used primarily to cut internal keyways and other straight-sided shapes and forms in non-production parts. Other machines used to create keyways include broaching machines, shapers, slotting machines, and milling machines. Broaching is primarily used to cut square-cornered internal keyways. Milling machines can create parallel, tapered, and woodruff keyways." }, { "docid": "D530446#0", "title": "https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070402192133AAXD1BB\nWhat is a spun bearing?", "text": "\"Cars & Transportation Maintenance & Repairs What is a spun bearing?

In each case, a spun bearing means the same thing, the bearing sleeve or ball race has attached itself to the shaft and the outer portion of the bearing is spinning in the bearing support structure. A journal sleeve bearing is a steel backing with babbit on the inner surface, keyed to the journal housing with a notch at the end of each half. Oil in the space between the babbit and the shaft provides the lubrication. If the bearing loses oil, it overheats, the babbit melts. The bearing will eventually cool enough for the babbit to solidify and stick to the shaft, and then the backing starts to spin in the journal support, a spun bearing. In the case of ball or tapered roller bearings, there is a \"\"race\"\" which keeps the balls or rollers in place." }, { "docid": "D541129#0", "title": "http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/ForSale/Shims.shtml\nCustom Leaf Spring Shims, Blocks and Spacers", "text": "\"Custom Search NOTE: Due to high order volume, it may take some time for production and shipments to catch up.

[ Return to the main For Sale page]Introduction On leaf-sprung vehicles, shims (or wedges) are often used to modify the angle between the spring perch on the axle and the leaf spring itself. The correction may be needed because of longer spring shackles tilting the pinion out of alignment, or to change from a single-cardan to a double-cardan drive shaft (for increased drive line angle capability), or to correct steering geometry (so your trucks handles better). An alternative to shims is to cut off the spring perches and re-weld new ones on at the corrected angle, but this is a lot of work and requires careful measurement to get things lined up properly. Anyway, for whatever reason you need a shim, you do need one. And if you need one you probably need an exact angled one, not just the angle or two the shop has.

These devices securely connect drive component hubs to shafts in demanding applications that require high torque or precise motion. Kevin Powers, U. S. Tsubaki Inc. | Oct 01, 2000Avariety of locking devices is available to mount drive components to shafts. This article describes keyless locking devices, often called keyless bushings, that use friction to lock onto a shaft and to the hub of a drive component such as a sprocket, pulley, gear, timing cam, or roller. Other devices lock to a shaft by means of a key and keyway, as described in PTD, “ Making the right shaft connections ,” 8/96. Many keyless devices work by means of mating tapered rings. Bolts draw these tapered rings together, exerting radial pressure that forces the rings outward against the hub and inward against the shaft. Friction between the tapered surfaces locks the drive component to the shaft, eliminating the need for keys and keyways, splined shafts, threads, and grooves. A keyless device applies locking pressure uniformly over a large area around a shaft circumference and inside the hub, enabling it to transmit higher torque and shock loads more consistently than one that relies on a key to transmit torque. Because the shaft and drive component are locked firmly together, keyless locking devices prevent problems associated with keyed devices such as shaft play, slippage, backlash, and position misalignments." }, { "docid": "D3502601#0", "title": "http://wishongolf.com/short-powerful-backswing-so-whats-the-best-shaft-for-me/\nShort, Powerful Backswing: So Whatâs The Best Shaft for Me?", "text": "Tweet Short backswings with strong acceleration do require more overall stiffness and/or more tip stiffness to prevent a sudden, forceful swing move from over bending the shaft at the start of the downswing. When choosing the right shaft, the weight of the shaft, the overall flex and the bend profile are the most important elements, with torque being much less important. The reason is because you just do not see higher torque with any shafts that are designed in a stiffer overall flex with more tip stiffness. The shaft companies know that players who need to use stiffer overall flex shafts and more tip stiff shafts also need to keep the torque no higher than 3.5*. So it is very rare in the industry these days to even see a normal S, a strong S or any X flex with tip stiff bend profile to ever have a torque higher than 4*. In addition, as long as the overall flex and bend profile and weight of the shaft are correct for a golfer’s swing, the difference between a torque of say, 2* and 3.5* is very minimal on shot dispersion. The golfer might notice that the 2* torque shaft felt a little stiffer at impact than the 3.5* torque version of the same flex and bend profile shaft, but he would not experience anything in the way of off line shots from a 1.5* torque difference. So do your best to get fit for the right shaft weight, shaft overall flex and bend profile for your swing moves and the torque is not going to be an issue. The best way to be sure you are properly fit for the right shafts that match all your swing characteristics is to find a GOOD Clubmaker/clubfitter in your area and have them use their knowledge and experience to custom fit you.-Tom About Tom Wishon Google+ | More Posts (58)17 Comments Greg Barker January 14, 2017Hi Tom,I came across a few of your articles in regards to type of shafts for different golfers, and I think they are great.

It converts rotary or linear motion from the operator into a change of resistance, and this change is (or can be) used to control anything from the volume of a hi-fi system to the direction of a huge container ship. The pot as we know it was originally known as a rheostat (or reostat in some texts) - essentially a variable wirewound resistor. The array of different types is now quite astonishing, and it can be very difficult for the beginner (in particular) to work out which type is suitable for a given task. The fact that quite a few different pot types can all be used for the same task makes the job that much harder - freedom of choice is at best confusing when you don't know what the choices actually are, or why you should make them. This article is not about to cover every aspect of pots, but is an introduction to the subject. For anyone wanting to know more, visit manufacturers' web sites, and have a look at the specifications and available types. The very first variable resistors were either a block of carbon (or some other resistive material) with a sliding contact, or a box full of carbon granules, with a threaded screw to compress the granules. More compression leads to lower resistance, and vice versa.

The difference between the two types of shaft is the tip diameter and shaft weight. Taper Tip Just as its name implies, a taper-tip shaft tapers, getting smaller where it fits into the hosel. The standard taper-tip shaft for irons is .355 inch at the end and requires a clubhead with a hosel the same size. Taper-tip shafts are manufactured to the proper length for each club. For example, a 9-iron shaft would not be a proper fit for an 8-iron. Taper-tip shafts are also manufactured with constant weights, meaning the 3-iron shaft weighs the same as the 9-iron shaft.

I want to continue my education by transferring to either Boston University or Mc Gill. I will already have my Associates from a local community college.

However, when you transfer there will be a point where your four-year school (Boston or Mc Gill, in this case) determines how your courses from community college correspond to their courses, which in some cases can put you ahead or behind. For example, in my case, I went to a community college full-time for three years, and still ended up going to a four-year college for three years. This happened because: -Some courses wouldn't transfer at all (Intro to Philosophy, which would've counted as humanities core if it had transferred) -Some courses transferred as less difficult courses (HTML and Java Script transferred as Office Applications, which worked out well because Office Applications was a universal core. Oddly enough, I took an Office Applications course at community college too, but it didn't transfer) -Some courses transferred as more difficult courses (physical anthropology transferred as biological anthropology. I know they are basically the same thing, but at cc it was a humanity and at the four-year school it counted as a natural science, like chemistry or physics might) -Some courses that were prerequisites for English at my community college were not prereqs at the four-year college or vice versa -Some courses that had two levels in comm college had only one level at the four-year school (English comp I and II at cc, and only English comp I at the four-year school, so English comp II did not transfer) I would recommend you contact someone from Boston or Mc Gill (it should be someone from \"\"academic advising\"\" or a similar department) and see what the transfer equivalencies are.

They adopt five symbols. These symbols (the Five K’s) are not only a means of showing the Sikh identity, but they also have spiritual meanings and are powerful symbols of the faith. Most Sikhs, through custom and culture, follow the traditions of the Khalsa. The Five Ks are the five items of dress and physical appearance (a sort of uniform) given to Sikhs by Guru Gobind Singh when he gathered together the first members of the Khalsa on Baisakhi day in 1699. Gobind Singh was the tenth Sikh guru or spiritual teacher. Kesh - uncut hair and beard, as given by God, to sustain him or her in higher consciousness; and a turban, the crown of spirituality. Kangha - a wooden comb to properly groom the hair as a symbol of cleanliness. Katchera - specially made cotton underwear as a reminder of the commitment to purity. Kara - a steel circle, worn on the wrist, signifying bondage to Truth and freedom from every other entanglement." } ]

Answer by Samblehhh Confidence votes 206In symbolism, a word is more powerful than a picture. For example, the name \"\"Rome\"\" conjures up associations of empire and history that a picture of the city itself does not. A photograph of the Eiffel tower may represent Paris, but the name \"\"Paris\"\" represents cosmopolitanism, cuisine, love, and much more. In these cases, a word may be worth a thousand pictures. Symbols work like images that have meaning added to them. A rose is just a flower, until it is one of a bunch given as a present.

WRITING REIKI, PART 2If we look at Usui’s Memorial Stone (at right) or early Reiki certificates from the 1930s, we see the phrase Reiki Ryoho written in the original kanji characters. This is how Mikao Usui and Chujiro Hayashi would have written it. Some of the more traditional Japanese styles of Reiki are now using the original kanji, or at least teaching about it. There is, however, some reluctance to use the original Reiki kanji in publicity material in Japan because, although the memory of Usui Reiki Ryoho all but disappeared after World War 2, an awareness of Reiki has resurfaced in an unusual way. Many Japanese people, especially the younger generations, have become aware of Reiki through popular entertainment. Lions and tigers and ghosts, oh my!Japanese anime films and manga comics portray Reiki as a magical force or a sword of great power, even though the actual kanji used is different. Between that popular misrepresentation of Reiki and a meaning of the original Reiki kanji that carries connotations of spirits, ghosts and psychic phenomena, Reiki teachers in Japan have to be careful not to give potential students the wrong impression about Usui Reiki Ryoho." }, { "docid": "D636936#0", "title": "https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-actual-meaning-of-this-emoji-B\nWhat is the actual meaning of this emoji 'B|'?", "text": "\"Emoji Emoticons Word Definitions, Terminology, and Jargon What is the actual meaning of this emoji 'B|'?1 Answer Charmi Sahni, Trying to befriend life.

So much of what he sees and accepts as reality is not actually reality, but rather symbolises his understanding of what is going on. However, before we dismiss what he says, as we read the novel more closely we see that everything the Chief reports does have a correspondence to reality, even if it does not have the same form as Chief Bromden gives it in his account. He imagines the asylum where he lives to be some kind of highly controlled environment ran by the Combine, which is a name that Bromden gives to symbolise the oppressive forces of authority and society that have placed him, and all his fellow inmates, inside the asylum. Note the way that Bromden talks about patients who are taken away for \"\"treatment\"\" and are returned as a \"\"success story\"\": A success, they say, but I say he's just another robot for the Combine and might be better off as a failure, like Ruckly sitting there fumbling and drooling over his picture. The Combine, then, seems to represent the forces of society that want patients such as Bromden controlled and kept under lock and key. Of course, the chief representative of the Combine in the novel is Nurse Ratched, whom Bromden imagines installing machinery inside of patients to keep them under control. Although this is clearly false, Nurse Ratched is shown to maintain her control through a terrifying mix of cruelty, manipulation and suggestion that operates just as efficiently as the imagined machinery Bromden perceives. Bromden does his best to try and avoid the attentions of the Combine, and his mist that he dreams up is a defence mechanism to protect him from the attentions of the Combine. He is terrified by the idea of losing control to the Combine like others have before him.list Cite link Link \"" }, { "docid": "D2889033#0", "title": "http://www.dreamsymbolism.info/dreamdictionary/fight-dreams.php\nDream symbols - fight", "text": "\"A physical fight in a dream may be symbolic of a \"\"mental struggle\"\" or \"\"emotional battle\"\".

Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) answers questions about how federal employment discrimination law applies to religious dress and grooming practices, and what steps employers can take to meet their legal responsibilities in this area. Examples of religious dress and grooming practices include wearing religious clothing or articles ( e.g., a Muslim hijab (headscarf), a Sikh turban, or a Christian cross); observing a religious prohibition against wearing certain garments ( e.g., a Muslim, Pentecostal Christian, or Orthodox Jewish woman's practice of not wearing pants or short skirts), or adhering to shaving or hair length observances ( e.g., Sikh uncut hair and beard, Rastafarian dreadlocks, or Jewish peyes (sidelocks)). In most instances, employers are required by federal law to make exceptions to their usual rules or preferences to permit applicants and employees to observe religious dress and grooming practices.1.

It also prohibits retaliation against persons who complain of discrimination or participate in an EEO investigation. With respect to religion, Title VII prohibits among other things:disparate treatment based on religion in recruitment, hiring, promotion, benefits, training, job duties, termination, or any other aspect of employment (except that \"\"religious organizations\"\" as defined under Title VII are permitted to prefer members of their own religion in deciding whom to employ);denial of reasonable accommodation for sincerely held religious practices, unless the accommodation would cause an undue hardship for the employer;workplace or job segregation based on religion;workplace harassment based on religion;retaliation for requesting an accommodation (whether or not granted), for filing a discrimination charge with the EEOC, for testifying, assisting, or participating in any manner in an EEOC investigation or EEO proceeding, or for opposing discrimination.

Also frequently spelled Baisakhi, Vaisakhi has origins as a springtime festival in the Punjab region, but since 1699 has taken on a great deal of religious significance for Sikhs. On Vaisakhi in that year, Guru Gobind Singh created the Khalsa and established much of what is at the core of the Sikh faith today. Sikh priests march at the Gurdwara Panja Sahib, one of Sikhism’s most holy places, during the Vaisakhi festival in Hasan Abdal, about 48 kms from Rawalpindi, on April 14, 2015. Huff Post blogger Satpal Singh explains: On the Vaisakhi day of 1699 (the first day of the month of ‘Vaisakh’ in the Sikh calendar), Siri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib, the tenth Guru, formalized the concept of Saint-Soldier by introducing the Amrit ceremony (the formal initiation ceremony). The initiates were instructed to keep the five K’s: Kes (uncut hair), Kangha (a small comb), Karra (an iron bracelet), Kachh (a special short) and Kirpan (a sword). They were given the title of Khalsa, meaning those whose life and spirit belonged only to the One Universal Creator and not to any ruler, tyrant or even a messenger of the Creator. The principle of One Universal Creator, a founding principle of the Sikh Faith, means that all human beings are children of the same One Creator, and are thus all equal, irrespective of their religion, gender, race, color, caste or the like. Many Sikhs observe Vaisakhi by making pilgrimages and participating in rituals at traditional holy sites. Dancing, fireworks, and feasts among family and friends are also common practice for those in India, Pakistan, and around the world." } ]

A kidney, ureter, and bladder (KUB) X-ray may be performed to assess the abdominal area for causes of abdominal pain, or to assess the organs and structures of the urinary and/or gastrointestinal (GI) system. A KUB X-ray may be the first diagnostic procedure used to assess the urinary system. X-rays use invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs on film. X-rays are made by using external radiation to produce images of the body, its organs, and other internal structures for diagnostic purposes. X-rays pass through body tissues onto specially treated plates (similar to camera film) and a \"\"negative\"\" type picture is made (the more solid a structure is, the whiter it appears on the film). Digital films and digital media are more commonly used now than the film media. Other related procedures that may be used to diagnose problems of the urinary organs of the abdomen include computed tomography (CT scan) of the kidney, kidney ultrasound, kidney scan, cystography, cystometry, cystoscopy, intravenous pyelogram, kidney biopsy, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) , prostate ultrasound, retrograde cystography, retrograde pyelogram, uroflowmetry, and renal venogram.

Osteosarcoma is the most common bone cancer in dogs. It can affect any dog, and seems to be quite prevalent in certain breeds. The cause of bone cancer is not known, although several theories have been postulated. It occurs most often in the long bones, particularly the distal wrist or ankle, or proximal hip or shoulder bones. It can also occur in the skull, ribs, spine and pelvis . The best defense against this horrible disease is awareness, early detection and treatment. Sadly, many dogs are diagnosed after weeks or months of lameness attributed to sprains, arthritis or other joint problems. In the early stages, routinely prescribed anti-inflammatory medications may provide some pain relief, delaying the diagnosis even further. Persistent lameness may be the only sign of bone cancer." }, { "docid": "D851271#0", "title": "http://www.healthcommunities.com/urinary-system-tests/kidney-ureter-bladder-x-ray-kub.shtml\n.", "text": "KUB Radiography (Kidney, Ureter, Bladder X-ray)Print X-ray beams are passed through the abdomen, producing images of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder on a special type of film. KUB radiography is often used as a first step in diagnosing problems of the urinary system, and is usually done in conjunction with intravenous pyelography. Purpose of the KUB Radiography To determine the size, shape, and position of the kidneys and bladder To detect obvious abnormalities of the urinary system, such as kidney stones To help differentiate between urologic and gastrointestinal diseases, which both produce abdominal pain To locate a foreign object (e.g., that has been swallowed)To detect air or fluid in the space surrounding the abdominal organs (peritoneal space)Who Performs KUB Radiography A radiologist or a qualified technician Special Concerns about KUB Radiography Pregnant women should not undergo this test because exposure to ionizing radiation may harm the fetus. The presence of severe obesity, gas or feces in the intestine or residual barium in the abdomen from a recent contrast x-ray study may interfere with clear visualization of the urinary system. Before the KUB Radiography Tell your doctor if you had a barium contrast x-ray or have taken medication containing bismuth, such as Pepto-Bismol, within the last four days as this may interfere with the test. Tell your doctor if you have an intrauterine device (IUD). Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or may be pregnant. Do not eat or drink anything for 4 hours before the test. You will be asked to disrobe, remove any jewelry or metal objects, and put on an x-ray gown.

The abdomen is an anatomical area that is bounded by the lower margin of the ribs and diaphragm above, the pelvic bone (pubic ramus) below, and the flanks on each side. Although abdominal pain can arise from the tissues of the abdominal wall that surround the abdominal cavity (such as the skin and abdominal wall muscles), the term abdominal pain generally is used to describe pain originating from organs within the abdominal cavity. Organs of the abdomen include the stomach, small intestine, colon, liver, gallbladder, spleen, and pancreas. Abdominal pain can range in intensity from a mild stomach ache to severe acute pain. The pain is often nonspecific and can be caused by a variety of conditions. What Causes Abdominal Pain? Abdominal pain is caused by inflammation (for example, appendicitis, diverticulitis, colitis), by stretching or distention of an organ (for example, obstruction of the intestine, blockage of a bile duct by gallstones, swelling of the liver with hepatitis ), or by loss of the supply of blood to an organ (for example, ischemic colitis). To complicate matters, however, abdominal pain also can occur for unclear reasons without inflammation, distention, or loss of blood supply. An important example of this latter type of pain is the irritable bowel syndrome ( IBS )." }, { "docid": "D2140259#0", "title": "http://forums.gpsreview.net/discussion/27525/neither-map-updater-or-garmin-express-will-find-my-nuvi\nNeither Map Updater or Garmin Express will 'find' my Nuvi", "text": "\"sussamb 759 Points March 2013Run Map Updater, here for PC http://download.garmin.com/lmu/Garmin Map Updater.exe or here for Mac http://download.garmin.com/lmu/Garmin Map Updater.dmg Xray Train 0 Points March 2013Map Updater doesn't find my nuvisussamb 759 Points March 2013Sorry, missed that bit as it's not in the body of your thread :oops: Go here http://software.garmin.com/en-GB/gcp.html and see if your plug in is working and detects your nuvi?

Regardless of their appearance, they function as part of the immune system and are sent to any part of the body where infection is suspected The presence of leukocytes in urine is generally indicative of a urinary tract infection.

Before the inception of CBR-East, co-founders Pattie Scully and Carolyn Sterner had decided that any rescue that they would be involved with had to be willing to work with research laboratories. During her experiences volunteering for beagle rescues, Carolyn had worked on establishing a positive relationship with one research facility beginning in 2003, and it resulted in the first-of-its kind \"\"release to rescue\"\" for that particular laboratory. We never imagined how things would progress, but it was always a hope that other laboratories would follow suit and take a chance on rewarding their laboratory animals, as well as their animal care staff (quite a morale boost to see these pups adopted!) The first intake of 11 laboratory beagles in late Summer 2006 launched a new division devoted to this area of need. It continues to grow with a record number of facilities inquiring and releasing to us ever since! As of Summer 2010, we have accepted over 100 retirees from 9 different research facilities, with additional requests coming in.

CODIS is the acronym for the Combined DNA Index System and is the generic term used to describe the FBI’s program of support for criminal justice DNA databases as well as the software used to run these databases. The National DNA Index System or NDIS is considered one part of CODIS, the national level, containing the DNA profiles contributed by federal, state, and local participating forensic laboratories. CODIS DNA Databases2. How do these DNA databases using CODIS work? For example, in the case of a sexual assault where an evidence kit is collected from the victim, a DNA profile of the suspected perpetrator is developed from the swabs in the kit. The forensic unknown profile attributed to the suspected perpetrator is searched against their state database of convicted offender and arrestee profiles (contained within the Convicted Offender and Arrestee Indices, if that state is authorized to collect and database DNA samples from arrestees).

It is a lobed gland located on the outer side of each eye. These glands produce the aqueous portion of tears, consisting of liquid, salts, proteins and lysozyme. Tears are produced constantly to protect and lubricate the eye, but when additional tears are required to clean substances from the eye or when crying, the lacrimal gland produces the majority of these tears. Major functions of tears include bringing oxygen and other necessary nutrients to the cornea, carrying waste products away from the cornea, preventing the cornea from becoming infected and maintaining the proper levels of saline on the cornea to protect the eye and preserve vision. If the cornea becomes too dry or too wet, eyesight can be affected, causing near- or farsightedness. These changes usually are situational and temporary, but long-term malfunction of the lacrimal gland can lead to chronic conditions such as dry eye. Other problems with the lacrimal glands include inflammation, infection, or tumors developing in the glands. Swelling in these glands can occur as a side effect of other problems such as Epstein-Barr syndrome or mumps, or it can occur because of bacterial or viral infection. It usually temporary is, but chronic lacrimal inflammation can be a symptom of Sjogren's syndrome, sarcoidosis or other serious conditions." } ]

Thus air is refluxing from the nasal passages or ethmoid sinus, either though the lacrimal sac/canalicular/punctual system, or possibly through a fistula connecting the nasal passages. Neither of those are normal conditions. Plus, if air can get into your eye from your nose or sinus, then potentially so can snot and nasal bacteria. Not really a good thing.

True dry eye or keratoconjunctivitis sicca, is due to insufficient aqueous (water) tear production by the lacrimal gland. The lacrimal gland is situated under the outer aspect of the upper eyelid. Dry eye symptoms may also occur if other components of the tears (mucus and lipid) are insufficient in the presence of eyelid or conjunctival disease such as blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids) or when normal blinking is disrupted by neurological or eyelid abnormalities. The main constituent of tears are water (the aqueous component), secreted by the lacrimal gland. This is required to moisten the eye, wash away debris and provide a smooth corneal surface for optimal focusing. The lacrimal gland also secretes antibodies and antibacterial elements to protect the eye. An oily, outer, lipid layer is secreted mainly by glands within the eyelids (the Meibomian Glands) and is required for lubrication for blinking and to lessen tear evaporation. An inner mucus layer, secreted by glands within the conjunctiva, is required for even spreading of the tears over the eye surface.

Eyelashes protect the eye from debris and perform some of the same function as whiskers do on a cat or a mouse in the sense that they are sensitive to being touched, thus providing a warning that an object (such as an insect) is near the eye (which then closes reflexively ). The Ancient Greek word for eyelash is βλέφαρον (transliterated as blepharon), which is seen as a root in biological terms like Blephara.

Researchers found that an extract from the South American maqui berry can mitigate an underlying factor in dry eye syndrome—leading to significant improvements in symptoms and quality of life. This represents a noteworthy improvement over commercial eye drops, which contain ingredients that some people are allergic to and only provide temporary relief. 1This unique oral approach is capable of relieving dry eyes by supporting natural tear production. That means you can take a single capsule once daily and experience soothing, youthful tear production day in and day out. No other known natural oral treatment is capable of boosting aqueous tear fluid secretion and enhancing the function of the tear film like this. Patients with dry eye symptoms have found lasting improvements in eye comfort. Compelling scientific studies demonstrate how maqui berry extract capitalizes on your body’s own natural mechanisms to boost tear output, restore comfort, and add a youthful shine to your eyes. What Is Dry Eye Syndrome? Dry eye syndrome occurs when your body doesn’t produce enough tears to keep your eyes moist." }, { "docid": "D481482#0", "title": "http://www.medicinenet.com/pilocarpine/article.htm\npilocarpine", "text": "Slideshow: Top Problems in Your Mouth Teeth Whiteners That Work Dental (Oral) Health Quiz What is pilocarpine, and how does it work (mechanism of action)?

Full Page View | Frames View | Main Page | Search Site | Home One-sixth of the outer layer of the eye (called the tunic fibrosa or fibrous tunic) bulges forward as the cornea, the transparent dome which serves as the outer window of the eye. The cornea is the primary (most powerful) structure focusing light entering the eye (along with the secondary focusing structure, the crystalline lens ). The cornea is composed, for the most part, of connective tissue with a thin layer of epithelium on the surface. Epithelium is the type of tissue that covers all free body surfaces. The cornea is composed of 5 layers, from the front to the back:epithelium ,Bowman’s (anterior limiting) membrane ,stroma (substantia propria) ,Descemet’s (posterior limiting) membrane, andendothelium (posterior epithelium) . The transparency of the cornea is due to the fact that it contains hardly any cells and no blood vessels. However, blood vessels can creep in from around it, if it is constantly irritated or infected, which can interfere with vision. On the other hand, the cornea contains the highest concentration of nerve fibers of any body structure, making it extremely sensitive to pain. The nerve fibers enter on the margins of the cornea and radiate toward the center." }, { "docid": "D3556751#0", "title": "https://www.healthtap.com/topics/lacrimal-gland-inflammation-treatment\nTop 30 Doctor insights on: Lacrimal Gland Inflammation Treatment", "text": "Top 30 Doctor insights on: Lacrimal Gland Inflammation Treatment Share Follow @Health Tap </> Embed Dr. Geoffrey Kwitko3 doctors agreed:1 Why would a lacrimal gland stay swollen?

The opening of the nasolacrimal duct into the inferior nasal meatus is partially covered by a mucosal fold (valve of Hasner or plica lacrimalis). Excess tears flow through nasolacrimal duct which drains into the inferior nasal meatus. This is the reason the nose starts to run when a person is crying or has watery eyes from an allergy, and why one can sometimes taste eye drops. Like the lacrimal sac, the duct is lined by stratified columnar epithelium containing mucus-secreting goblet cells, and is surrounded by connective tissue. Obstruction of the nasolacrimal duct may occur. [ 1] This leads to the excess overflow of tears called epiphora. A congenital obstruction can cause cystic expansion of the duct and is called a dacrocystocele or Timo cyst. Persons with dry eye conditions can be fitted with punctal plugs that seal the ducts to limit the amount of fluid drainage and retain moisture.

[email protected] Abstract Sjögren syndrome (SS) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are both collagen vascular diseases that can be accompanied by Ro antibodies. Clinical evidence suggests that they are wholly distinct diseases. SS is strongly linked to lymphoma while lupus is not. SS patients do not commonly exhibit photosensitivity even though anti-Ro antibodies circulate in their blood; SLE patients generally exhibit photosensitivity. SS does not respond to hydroxychloroquine in a reproducible fashion whereas SLE does. SS has not been linked to parvovirus B19, but SLE has. However, SS and SLE do have similarities. Their autoantibody profiles are similar. They effect women more than men and have similar HLA haplotypes and autoantibodies; this is not likely coincidence but it may not clinically relevant." } ]

January 6, 2017 kurt lee Construction, Engineering, Sciences, Trades, Uncategorized Surveyors take measurements of land, water and airspace boundaries using a variety of specialized equipment, such as tripod-mounted levels and transits, area planimeters, and total stations, which measure angles and distances. Among the calculations a land surveyor compiles are data about the size, shape, location, contour and elevation of a land mass–information critical for use in land deeds and leases, or in construction and mining activities. The field of surveying has changed with the inception of Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. Today’s land surveyor’s often use small GPS units attached to a tripod to collect precise positioning data. How to become a land surveyor Many surveyors formerly learned their skills on the job, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports, but most land surveyors working today have earned at least a bachelor’s degree in surveying, surveying technology or a related field, such as civil engineering or forestry. Obtaining an education helps land surveyors quickly enter the workforce, as well as to fully understanding the highly complex equipment used daily. The American Congress on Surveying and Mapping offers thousands of dollars each year in scholarships for students interested in surveying and mapping professions. Each state requires that surveyors be licensed as well. Most states administer a series of written tests compiled by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying." } ]

Job Description Land surveyors play an important role in the planning and design of many fields, including transportation, building and construction, mapping and real estate. A Land Surveyor's primary role is to determine where and how legal boundaries are created. Land Surveyor may be responsible for mapping the topography of land for engineering and construction design, establishing borders for real estate titling, certifying that structures are built to specifications and mapping areas for roads, airports or railway systems. Surveyors will also map things like slopes, river bottoms and aerial spaces. These duties are usually performed by recording measurements in the field using a total station. A total station uses a beam of light to accurately measure distances and angles.

This is especially important when it comes to your property and knowing if there are issues that should be disclosed before you take the leap of purchasing a home. Many banks used to require land surveys before purchasing land, but due to the recent financial crisis and efforts to cut what banks consider nonessential costs, the importance of getting a survey before purchasing land has been put on the back burner.

Real estate transactions often require appraisals because they occur infrequently and every property is unique (especially their condition, a key factor in valuation), unlike corporate stocks, which are traded daily and are identical (thus a centralized Walrasian auction like a stock exchange is unrealistic). The location also plays a key role in valuation. However, since property cannot change location, it is often the upgrades or improvements to the home that can change its value. Appraisal reports form the basis for mortgage loans, settling estates and divorces, taxation, and so on. Sometimes an appraisal report is used to establish a sale price for a property. Besides the mandatory educational grade, which can vary from Finance to Construction Technology, most, but not all, countries require appraisers to have the license for the practice. Usually, the real estate appraiser has the opportunity to reach 3 levels of certification: Appraisal Trainee, Licensed Appraiser and Certified Appraiser. The second and third levels of license require no less than 2000 experience hours in 12 months and 2500 experience hours in no less than 24 months respectively.

Yet, none of the power or capabilities of GPS would have been possible without traditional surveyors paving the way. The techniques and tools of conventional surveying are still in use and, as you will see, are based on the very same concepts that underpin even the most advanced satellite-based positioning. Geographic positions are specified relative to a fixed reference. Positions on the globe, for instance, may be specified in terms of angles relative to the center of the Earth, the equator, and the prime meridian. Land surveyors measure horizontal positions in geographic or plane coordinate systems relative to previously surveyed positions called control points, most of which are indicated physically in the world with a metal “benchmark” that fixes the location and, as shown here, may also indicate elevation about mean sea level (Figure 5.10). In 1988 NGS established four orders of control point accuracy, ranging in maximum base error from 3mm to 5cm. In the U. S., the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) maintains a National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) that consists of approximately 300,000 horizontal and 600,000 vertical control stations (Doyle,1994). Doyle (1994) points out that horizontal and vertical reference systems coincide by less than ten percent.

A boundary line survey allows you to see the exact boundary of what you are buying or selling. A boundary survey can determine if there are any easements for utilities such as water, sewer, drainage ways, power lines, etc. on your property. A property line survey identifies any encroachments like driveways, fences or buildings on the property or crossing any of your boundary lines. A boundary survey and drawing provide you the exact property line measurements and the precise locations of all structures (houses, barns, etc. ), fences, or driveways related to those property boundary lines. A boundary survey might also include a determination of whether you are in a floodplain. A boundary survey can provide markings along your property lines which allow you to put up a fence on your property boundary line in the correct location so that you don’t encroach on another property or leave too much space between the fence and the boundary line.

( Dreamstime photo)By Bob Aaron Property law Fri., June 27, 2014I just found out that the boathouse and dock in front of my cottage were constructed on a municipal road allowance, and that I do not own them. What can I do? Cottage season is in full swing on this Canada Day weekend, and it’s a busy season for real estate agents in holiday country. Buying a summer home in cottage country, unlike a city real estate transaction, makes road access and waterfront issues of critical importance. At a Law Society program presented to 1,400 real estate lawyers this past April, Bracebridge lawyer Nathalie Tinti discussed why shoreline road allowances are so important in cottage purchases. She explained that in many parts of Ontario, from Georgian Bay to east of the Ottawa River, surveyors of Crown land in the late 19th century were instructed to lay out a 66-foot strip of land for commercial road allowances along the banks of lakes and rivers. For several decades after about 1880, these roads were used for logging and transportation of goods. They have little commercial purpose now, but have become critical issues in cottage country real estate transactions." } ]

Only a sheriff can evict someone. Even if a tenant is months behind on rent, the landlord can't evict the tenant or get rid of the tenant's things. The landlord must get a court order for the sheriff to do this. To legally evict a tenant, the landlord must: Serve the tenant with a notice Wait for the notice to end File an Unlawful Detainer action if the tenant doesn't do what the notice asks. If the tenant does not answer the unlawful detainer: If the landlord files an Unlawful Detainer with the court, the tenant has five days to answer. If the tenant does not do this, the landlord can file for a default judgment and automatically get what the landlord asked for. The tenant may file an Answer after the five days if the landlord has not already filed for default. If the tenant answers the unlawful detainer: If the tenant files an Answer, the landlord must ask for a court date.

It is surprising to find out that may landlords are unsure how to proceed if they have a problem tenant. Many landlords try to evict a tenant themselves and are frustrated by the legal process. Listed below are some of the questions most commonly asked by landlords. The following answers are an attempt to provide landlord or prospective landlords with the tools necessary to become a more effective manager. Question: My tenant is not paying his rent. Can I just change the locks and throw him out? Answer: No. A 1984 Court of Appeals decision establishes that a landlord may only remove a tenant from rental premises through a court proceeding. An eviction action (called a summary proceeding) is designed to provide the landlord with a quick method for regaining possession of the property while still protecting the rights of the tenant. “" }, { "docid": "D1584682#0", "title": "https://www.landlordguidance.com/eviction-notice-forms/iowa-eviction/\nIowa Eviction", "text": "Iowa Eviction Before undertaking to evict a tenant, an Iowa landlord must be aware of the necessary steps in the Iowa eviction process.

SUMMARYTo evict a residential tenant in Connecticut, a landlord must have a legally sufficient ground for eviction and follow a statutorily prescribed procedure, known as summary process. Grounds for eviction include lapse of time (i.e., expiration of the lease), nonpayment of rent, material noncompliance with the lease, breach of statutory duties, and illegal conduct or serious nuisance. Once a landlord has established a ground for eviction, he or she begins the process by serving the tenant with a notice to quit possession. If the tenant fails to respond to this notice by refusing to move from the rented premises, the landlord may initiate proceedings in Superior Court by filing a summons and complaint. The tenant can respond to the complaint. If a tenant contests the action, the court tries the case and enters judgment. The process ends when the court orders the judgment executed and a state marshal executes it by removing the tenant and his or her belongings. The Judicial Branch could not provide precise data on how long it takes to evict someone. According to a representative of the branch, the minimum time for a summary process to proceed to judgment is 30 to 45 days from the service on the tenant of the notice to quit possession." }, { "docid": "D1444124#0", "title": "https://www.reference.com/business-finance/evict-someone-lease-275e4ee9fe743cee\nHow Do I Evict Someone When There Is No Lease?", "text": "Business & Finance Real Estate Q: How Do I Evict Someone When There Is No Lease?

No reason or cause needs to be given, and the letter can be delivered at any time during the month. The tenancy ends 30 days later, even if that's not the day rent is due.

A tenantatwill has the right to occupy and use the rented premises subject to any restrictions upon which the landlord and the tenant have agreed. Because there is not a written lease, Georgia law regulates the type of notice which a tenantatwill and the landlord of the tenantatwill must give to terminate or change the original rental agreement. A tenant must give thirty (30) days notice to the landlord to terminate or change the original agreement. A landlord who has a tenantatwill must give sixty (60) days notice to the tenant before seeking to terminate the agreement or change any term of the original agreement.

Wisch Place of Publication: Michigan State University College of Law Publish Year: 2015Primary Citation: Animal Legal & Historical Center0 Country of Origin: United States Summary: This document gives some brief answers to questions on emotional support animals in housing. Overview of Assistance Animals in Housing (skip to Questions)An emotional support animal is a type of assistance animal that is recognized as a \"\"reasonable accommodation\"\" for a person with a disability under the federal Fair Housing Act (FHAct, 42 U. S. C. A. 3601 et seq.). The assistance animal is not a pet according to the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). HUD is the agency that oversees the FHAct and investigates claims of housing discrimination. There are only two questions that HUD says a housing provider should consider with a request for an assistance animal as a reasonable accommodation: (1) Does the person seeking to use and live with the animal have a disability — i.e., a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities? ( 2) Does the person making the request have a disability-related need for an assistance animal? In other words, does the animal work, provide assistance, perform tasks or services for the benefit of a person with a disability, or provide emotional support that alleviates one or more of the identified symptoms or effects of a person's existing disability? ( FHEO Notice: FHEO-2013-01 at page 2 ). A \"\"no\"\" answer to either of the questions means that a housing provider is not obligated to make a reasonable accommodation according to HUD. This may mean that the person does not meet the definition of disability or that the assistance animal does not help with symptoms of the disability." }, { "docid": "D1099656#0", "title": "http://www.nycourts.gov/courts/townandvillage/faqs.shtml\nFrequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)", "text": "\"Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)Criminal | Court Clerks | Court Records | Small Claims | Summary Proceedings / Landlord-Tenant | Traffic Cases Criminal Download the Criminal Justice System Handbook Visit Court Help (On-Line Resources for Self-Represented Defendants)What kinds of criminal cases are heard in city, town and village courts?

Successfully terminating the tenancy will depend upon the terms of the lease and the proper timing and service of the Notice of Non-renewal. Failure to non-renew properly can result in an unwanted extension of the tenancy. An improperly served or timed Notice of Non-renewal does not cure itself by the passage of time and thus becomes void to the tenant’s favor.

Related to lease: Rental lease Lease A contractual agreement by which one party conveys an estate in property to another party, for a limited period, subject to various conditions, in exchange for something of value, but still retainsownership. A lease contract can involve any property that is not illegal to own. Common lease contracts includeagreements for leasing real estate and apartments, manufacturing and farming equipment, andconsumer goods such as automobiles, televisions, stereos, and appliances. Leases are governed by statutes and by Common Law, or precedential cases. Most leases aresubject to state laws, but leases involving the U. S. government are subject to federal laws. Generally, federal laws on leases are similar to state laws. A lease is created when a property owner (the offeror) makes an offer to another party (the offeree),and the offeree accepts the offer. The offer must authorize the offeree to possess and use propertyowned by the offeror for a certain period of time without gaining ownership. A lease must alsocontain consideration, which means that the offeree must give something of value to the offeror." }, { "docid": "D2612142#0", "title": "http://www.newcars.com/how-to-buy-a-new-car/loan-or-lease\nCar Buying Tips Everything you need to know about buying a new car", "text": "\"Loan or Lease? Which is right for you? Watch our video to find out. What does it mean to lease a new car? Essentially, leasing is similar to renting - you make payments for the use of the car over a certain time period, and you return the car at the end of that period. Most likely, you will lease a car for 2-3 years and then have the option of buying the car or giving it back to the dealer. There is no cut and dry choice when determining whether leasing or buying is the better choice; your economic situation and how you intend to use the car will play the largest role in your lease vs. buy decision.

These are typically single-tenant retail properties leased to tenants with high credit ratings on \"\"net, net, net\"\" terms (hence the NNN acronym), meaning the tenant is responsible for real estate taxes, insurance, and all maintenance. At first glance these triple-net deals appear to be the perfect investment. They are typically new or nearly new, have no management responsibilities, a long-term lease to a quality tenant, stable cash flow, attractive financing, and the unique tax benefits only real estate provides. The advantages have fueled a tremendous growth in demand from investors on every level. They appeal to part-time investors looking for guaranteed income with no management responsibility, and they provide an attractive exit strategy for those with mature portfolios. As with any investment, there are many factors to consider in valuing and structuring the deal. First, like frozen food, you \"\"pay\"\" for the convenience of no management duties and stable, long-term income in the form of lower returns than with a more hands-on, high-maintenance project. Prices start in the range of a 6% cap rate for the highest rated tenants, up to perhaps 8.5% - 9% for lesser credit quality or those with short lease terms.

This means that IRR, like other cash flow metrics, compares the magnitude and timing of investment returns to investment costs. Interpreting IRR in a way that makes practical sense for investors and decision makers is a challenge. What is internal rate of return? Internal Rate of Return ( IRR) is a financial metric for cash flow analysis, primarily for evaluating investments, capital acquisitions, project proposals, programs, and business case scenarios. Like other cash flow metrics—NPV, Payback period, and ROI—the IRR metric takes an investment view of expected financial results. As a result, each of these financial metrics compares the magnitudes and timing of cash flow returns to cash flow costs, while each makes the comparison in its own way, and each carries a unique message about the value of the action. By definition, IRR compares returns to costs by by finding the interest rate that produces a zero NPV for the investment cash flow stream. Not surprisingly, interpreting IRR results in a way that makes practical sense for investors and decision makers is a challenge. IRR is All About a Cash Flow Stream IRR analysis begins with a cash flow stream, a series of net cash flow results expected from the investment (or action, acquisition, or business case scenario)." }, { "docid": "D3012883#0", "title": "http://pluginamerica.org/drivers-seat/leasing-plug-vehicle-total-cost-ownership\nIn the Driverâs Seat", "text": "02.25.2014 - by Tom Saxton Leasing a Plug In Vehicle: Total Cost of Ownership As with any car purchase, there’s more to consider than cost when thinking about a plug-in vehicle. There’s also the convenience of fueling at home and the superior driving experience of an electric drive train. But at some point, we have to think about the cost and thrifty consumers will start there. Doing the cost analysis for a gas car is pretty simple: look at the monthly payments, estimate your fuel cost based on how much you drive and the vehicle’s MPG, and add in the basic maintenance costs like oil changes. It’s not any more complex for an all-electric vehicle, but thinking in kilowatt-hours may be unfamiliar for most first-time EV buyers. It’s even a little simpler for an all-electric car since there are no oil changes and a lot of other regular gas-car maintenance goes away. For a plug-in hybrid, the situation is a little more complex, having to do both gas and electric calculations. Since many plug-in buyers are choosing to lease rather than purchase, I’ve developed a spreadsheet tool to help with the calculations. I picked some representative fuel-efficient vehicles, looked up the EPA ratings, and researched some current 3-year lease deals. As a set of affordable vehicles that buyers may be considering, I chose the Toyota Camry, Toyota Prius, Toyota Prius PHEV, Ford C-Max Energi, Chevy Volt, and Nissan LEAF." }, { "docid": "D963328#0", "title": "https://www.irs.gov/irm/part4/irm_04-043-001-cont05.html\nPart 4.

Since the lessee only gets the use of the car for a few years, the monthly payments are lower than if buying the car new. A leased car fits much better into a monthly budget. But depending on what the would-be lessee wants, a car lease could end up being a bad deal overall. Deciding whether or not to lease a car involves looking at the entire financial package, including total payments and extra fees, as well as looking at what the lessee actually gets for his or her money. It is important that drivers know the advantages and disadvantages of leasing as well as an overview of all the ways a person can get access to a vehicle: buying, leasing, renting, and using a car-sharing service. If leasing is the right option, potential lessees should know how to lease a car and get a good rate. Leasing a car is neither right nor wrong across the board.

Successfully terminating the tenancy will depend upon the terms of the lease and the proper timing and service of the Notice of Non-renewal. Failure to non-renew properly can result in an unwanted extension of the tenancy. An improperly served or timed Notice of Non-renewal does not cure itself by the passage of time and thus becomes void to the tenant’s favor.

Follow 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: If AT&T gives you a dynamic IP address rather than a static IP address, then they use DHCP (Dynamic Control Host Protocol) to dole out IP addresses to different customers' connections. Your router requests an IP address from their DHCP server and it \"\"leases\"\" you an IP address for a period of time that they've configured. After a period of time determined by an algorithm too complex to describe here, your router requests to renew the lease, the DHCP server responds, and round and round we go. The DHCP Release gives up the lease on the IP address that you currently have assigned. After a DHCP release, your router has no IP address from AT&T. The DHCP Renew sends another request to the AT&T DHCP server for your DHCP lease and it assigns an IP to you again. Because of the way that DHCP works, it will probably assign the same one back to you if you do it right after the DHCP release and you don't let a lot of time pass." }, { "docid": "D704012#0", "title": "https://www.jmre.com/studentresources_commercialterms.asp\nJMRE (TM) Inc - Real Estate Courses", "text": "\"Home Commercial Real Estate Terminology Commercial Real Estate Terminology A & D Loan: Acquisition and Development Loan created to fund both the acquisition of the land and the development of the project.

Although these terms are often used interchangeably, they are not the same. A lease for a rental property has a finite term, such as six months or a year, for which a tenant will agree to rent the property. During this time period, also known as the duration of the lease, the tenant and the landlord are bound to uphold the terms of the written agreement. Having a lease means that neither party may change any terms of the agreement until the lease expires, unless both parties agree to the change.

The paralegal cannot give legal advice, represent people in court, or sign any legal documents, except in the capacity of a notary if the person has been certified. Most people train to become a paralegal through either two-year or four year degrees at the college level, and they must be gifted at secretarial work, legal research and writing in order to perform their jobs proficiently. There are many things that a legal assistant might do as employed by a lawyer or law firm. They can draft contracts, and most other legal documents, which are then reviewed by lawyers to be certain they conform specifically to the requirements of the client and the law. They also perform legal research, and may in the defense or prosecution of a person, do much of the research that will help support arguments in the court setting or in legal briefs. The legal assistant may also perform preliminary interviews of clients, and/or witnesses. One employed in the real estate field may be present at the closing of real estate sales. Since there are so many branches of law, a person in this position may be particularly versed in different branches. Through training, they come into the field ready to work in just about any area, but their own interests may further help assistants specialize in certain kinds of law." } ]

A legal document assistant ( LDA, also commonly known as \"\"document technician,\"\" \"\"legal document preparer,\"\" \"\"legal technician,\"\" \"\"online legal document provider\"\" and \"\"legal document clerk\"\") [1] in the United States is a non-lawyer authorized to assist with the preparation of legal instruments. Unlike a paralegal, legal document assistants do not work under the supervision of an attorney. A Legal Document Assistant is an American phenomenon created in response to the most strict licensing laws for attorneys in the world. The job was created by using the doctrine of pro se to enable someone to help another prepare a legal document. Except for Louisiana and Puerto Rico, in the United States only an attorney can advise and draft a legal document for another. With the self-help pro se concept and stock legal forms the Legal Document Preparer profession was born. The role of a Legal Document Assistant varies significantly across legal jurisdictions, and therefore can be treated here in only the most general terms. Some acts performed by Legal Document Assistants may be lawful in one jurisdiction and prohibited in other jurisdictions.

In the United States, the courts have consistently ruled that no one has an actual “right” to die. Because of this, physician assisted suicide is outlawed throughout most of the world. Only a handful of states and countries have legalized the process. Many people still picture Dr. Jack Kevorkian as the standard for how physician assisted suicides work, but that isn’t actually true. If a person has a terminal diagnosis and chooses in their right mind to die, then their doctor, with a second opinion also required, may write a fatal prescription for that person who wants to die. There are some definite pros and cons to physician assisted suicide – let’s take a look. The Pros of Physician Assisted Suicide The main benefit of physician assisted suicide is that people are able to die in a way that is on their own terms instead of the terms of their disease. They can choose to be surrounded by family and friends, have their favorite music playing, and enjoy the sights and sounds of their chosen final moments. With plans in place, everyone can prepare for the final outcome and this makes the stages of grief easier to handle for everyone involved." }, { "docid": "D2790694#0", "title": "https://survivallife.com/knife-laws-state/\nAre Switchblades Legal?

In this report, “euthanasia” is defined as intentionally, knowingly and directly acting to cause the death of another person (e.g., giving a lethal injection). “ Assisted suicide” is defined as intentionally, knowingly and directly providing the means of death to another person so that the person can use that means to commit suicide (e.g., providing a prescription for a lethal dose of drugs). Part I of this report discusses the reasons used by activists to promote changes in the law; the contradictions that the actual proposals have with those reasons; and the logical progression that occurs when euthanasia and assisted suicide are transformed into medical treatments. It explores the failure of so-called safeguards and outlines the impact that euthanasia and assisted suicide have on families and society in general. Withholding and withdrawing medical treatment and care are not legally considered euthanasia or assisted suicide. Withholding or withdrawing food and fluids is considered acceptable removal of a “medical treatment. ”Part II of this report includes information about practical ways to protect oneself and loved ones during any time of incapacity and a discussion of some of the policies that have led to patients being denied care that they or their decision-makers have requested.

Five Objections to the Moral Permissibility of Voluntary Euthanasia Bibliography Academic Tools Other Internet Resources Related Entries1. Introduction When a person carries out an act of euthanasia, she brings about the death of another person because she believes the latter's present existence is so bad that he would be better off dead, or believes that unless she intervenes and ends his life, his life will become so bad that he would be better off dead. Thus, the motive of the person who commits an act of euthanasia is to benefit the one whose death is brought about. ( This also holds for many instances of physician-assisted suicide, but some wish to restrict the use of the latter term to forms of assistance which stop short of the physician ‘bringing about the death’ of the patient, for example, those involving mechanical means that have to be activated by the patient. ) It is important to emphasize the motive of benefiting the person who is assisted to die because well-being is a key value in relation to the morality of euthanasia.

When international lawyers consider the rules that apply to such assistance, the so-called law of State responsibility consumes most, if not all, of the attention (see Miles Jackson and my accompanying post that does a deep dive into that area of law). Given the allegations that some Saudi-led coalition operations may amount to war crimes, it is relevant to consider another specific area of international law: the law of aiding and abetting war crimes. Importantly, as I explain below, that area of law is likely broader in its attribution of vicarious liability for assisting States than the law of State responsibility. It should be a centerpiece of any discussion of this topic. One clarification is necessary at the outset. In this analysis, I make no assessment of the alleged actions by the Saudi-led coalition or any reported instance of US or UK support. This post discusses the generally applicable legal framework that might apply. My discussion therefore also has relevance for all sorts of other situations as well, including reported Russian support related to the Syrian government’s alleged war crimes, reported Iranian support related to the Houthis’ alleged war crimes, and State support for terrorist organizations elsewhere.

I had plenty of time to pass on the left but realized the car was going approximately 45 mph or slower. How much slower than the speed limit can you go without moving into the break-down lane or turning on your hazard lights? A: There are different answers for different scenarios, police say. “In King County there are no minimum speed limits posted on any of the state highways,” State Patrol trooper Dan Mc Donald said. Drivers cannot be ticketed specifically for driving too slowly unless there are minimum speed limit signs, he said. But drivers going too slowly can be cited for other violations – and the type of violation depends on speed in specific circumstances. For example, if someone is driving 40 to 45 mph on the right lane of the freeway and not holding up traffic, he said they likely won’t be ticketed. But if a driver is going that slow on in the left passing lane, they can be cited for failing to stay right except to pass, which is a $124 ticket. “Unless road conditions warrant slower speeds, if a motorist is traveling below the maximum speed limit they shall travel in the far right lane,” Mc Donald said. “" }, { "docid": "D3390406#0", "title": "http://www.okbar.org/members/MCLE/MCLEFAQ.aspx\nMCLE", "text": "\"MCLEFrequently Asked Questions What is Mandatory Continuing Legal Education?

Posted by: Owen O'Rorke | Date posted : 20/10/2016One of the areas of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which most exercised medium-sized organisations during consultation, and notably the schools sector, was the question of whether they would be caught by the new requirement for a mandatory Data Protection Officer (DPO). As a point of best practice – or frequently an organisational necessity – many schools already have a DPO (sometimes erroneously called a “data controller”), who more often than not is the bursar. However, although this role can already add considerably to the administrative burden of the individual (overseeing policy and training, dealing with subject access requests and breaches as they occur, etc. ), the more formalised notion of the DPO set out in the GDPR pushes the role to a higher operational level – and brings with it HR headaches. For clarity: while we are still awaiting secondary supporting legislation and statutory guidance on various issues (which is no doubt well down the list of priorities in the build-up to Brexit), the GDPR will almost certainly come into effect here on 25 May 2018 regardless of the referendum result. It is then likely to remain on the statute books even after the formalities of leaving the European Union, or be replaced in time by something of a similar standard. First, then, what are the expectations of the new DPO role?• The DPO must be “properly involved”, and indeed promptly involved, in all issues at the school related to the protection of personal data – from policy to dealing with requests from individuals. • There is a requirement for “expert knowledge of data protection law”.

The BSA/AML independent review (the “review”) provides valuable feedback to the MSB about the state of its AML compliance program, and it is also a document that is requested as part of regulatory examinations and bank-partner oversight. The purpose of this article is to share insights from a reviewer’s perspective in order to help MSBs prepare for upcoming reviews. Keep in mind that these insights do not reflect observations from any one client, but rather are general observations that are cumulative over time. In the beginning…The FFIEC has provided guidance that says a review is “an evaluation of the overall adequacy and effectiveness of the BSA/AML compliance program including policies, procedures and processes.” It is the reviewer’s job to evaluate that the program is designed and implemented to meet the applicable BSA requirements and that the program is tailored to the MSB’s AML risk profile. Reviewers take this mandate seriously and use the time before, during and after their on-site review to gather as much information as possible to make copious observations, identify findings and make best practices recommendations. The initial request for documents provides a roadmap as to what will be reviewed and tested. In fact, much of the review takes place prior to the on-site component.

I recently saw one such approach by Paul Mc Nulty and Stephen Martin of the law firm, Baker and Mc Kenzie. They have developed what they term the five essential elements of a corporate compliance program. These five elements are based upon the best practices as set out in the seven elements of a corporate compliance program under the US Sentencing Guidelines; the 13 Good Practices by the OECD on Internal Controls, Ethics, and Compliance; the FCPA Guidance's Ten Hallmarks of Effective Compliance Program and the UK Bribery Act's Six Principles of an Adequate Procedures compliance program. The five elements are: Leadership Risk Assessment Standards and Controls Training and Communication Oversight I. Leadership The point means more than simply \"\"Tone-at-the-top\"\"; a successful compliance program must be built on a solid foundation of ethics that are fully and openly endorsed by senior management. There should be an unambiguous, visible and active commitment to compliance. But even more than support or the right tone, compliance standards require that companies must have high-ranking compliance officers with the authority and resources to manage the program on a day-to-day basis. And compliance officers must have the ear of those ultimately responsible for corporate conduct, including the board of directors.

Members are also governed by the anti-money laundering rule in FINRA Rule 3310. FINRA Rule 3310 sets forth minimum standards for broker-dealers' AML compliance programs. It requires firms to develop and implement a written AML compliance program. The program has to be approved in writing by a member of senior management and be reasonably designed to achieve and monitor the member's ongoing compliance with the requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act and the implementing regulations promulgated thereunder. Consistent with the Bank Secrecy Act, FINRA Rule 3310 also requires firms, at a minimum, to:establish and implement policies and procedures that can be reasonably expected to detect and cause the reporting of suspicious transactions;establish and implement policies, procedures, and internal controls reasonably designed to achieve compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act and implementing regulations;provide for annual (on a calendar-year basis) independent testing for compliance to be conducted by member personnel or by a qualified outside party.

By Deborah Caldwell-Stone | April 2, 2013In the decade since the Supreme Court upheld the implementation of the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA), internet filtering has become a frequent practice in public libraries. It has also become the primary strategy for managing students’ internet access in school libraries. Debate over filtering became muted as libraries receiving e-rate funds moved to comply with CIPA’s mandates. While researchers counted the number of libraries and schools using filters, little inquiry was made into how institutions were implementing CIPA or how filtering was affecting library users. Recent court filings, news reports, and online posts, however, have begun to shine a spotlight on libraries’ filtering policies and practices. According to legal complaints, some libraries are denying users access to websites that discuss Wicca and Native American spirituality; blacklisting websites that affirm the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities while whitelisting sites that advocate against gay rights and promote “ex-gay” ministries; and refusing to unblock webpages that deal with youth tobacco use, art galleries, blogs, and firearms. School librarians, teachers, and even Department of Education officials are openly complaining that the overzealous blocking of online information in schools is impairing the educational process. Why are we seeing more and more instances where public libraries and schools are actively engaged in censoring online information, despite the library profession’s commitment to intellectual freedom, First Amendment rights, and free and open access to information? Often, it is because the institutions and individuals responsible for implementing these policies misunderstand or misinterpret CIPA and the Supreme Court decision upholding the law." }, { "docid": "D2439147#0", "title": "http://defendingjehovahswitnesses.blogspot.com/2011/05/why-do-jehovahs-witnesses-not-celebrate.html\nDefend Jehovah's Witnesses", "text": "\"Jehovah's Witnesses and Birthdays - Why Don't They Celebrate?

Fundamentally, a workflow consists of two things: the forms that a workflow uses to interact with its users and the logic that defines the workflow’s behavior. Understanding how workflows are created requires knowledge about both.

For example, to reach a decision, groups typically follow a series of steps. The steps can be a formal, standard operating procedure, or an informal implicitly understood way to operate. Collectively, the steps represent a business process. The number of human interactions that occur in business processes can inhibit speed and the quality of decisions.

Introduction Welcome to the wonderful world of annotated bibliographies! You’re probably already familiar with the need to provide bibliographies, reference pages, and works cited lists to credit your sources when you do a research paper. An annotated bibliography includes descriptions and explanations of your listed sources beyond the basic citation information you usually provide. Why do an annotated bibliography? One of the reasons behind citing sources and compiling a general bibliography is so that you can prove you have done some valid research to back up your argument and claims. Readers can refer to a citation in your bibliography and then go look up the material themselves. When inspired by your text or your argument, interested researchers can access your resources. They may wish to double check a claim or interpretation you’ve made, or they may simply wish to continue researching according to their interests. But think about it: even though a bibliography provides a list of research sources of all types that includes publishing information, how much does that really tell a researcher or reader about the sources themselves?" }, { "docid": "D688946#0", "title": "http://www.plsinfo.org/Overdrive-FAQs\nOverDrive Audio Books FAQs", "text": "Over Drive Audio Books FAQs What is an Over Drive® audio book?

Not only are electronic technologies proliferating at an unprecedented rate, but the population of New York is growing continually more diverse. These changes have transformed, and continue to transform, library services and the skills necessary to deliver them. New Yorkers of all ages and backgrounds need the help and guidance of a skilled, diverse library workforce to make full use of library resources. The New York Library Association (NYLA) and the Board of Regents recognize that librarians and library staff need continual training to stay current with these developments in information technology.2.

Workflows add logic to both system and human processes. Workflows for system processes might update one data source when another data source changes. Workflows for human processes might send a document, such as an expense report, to an employee's manager for approval and, if approved, on to the accounting department for processing. This is made possible by the powerful yet intuitive workflow editor in Share Point Designer 2010 that allows nested logic, substeps, and more. For example, if your workflow is associated to a document library or if it is filtered to the Document content type, a group of contextual Document Set actions appear.

Evaluation research is not easily defined. There is not even unanimity regarding its name; it is referred to as evaluation research and evaluative research. Some individuals consider evaluation research to be a specific research method; others focus on special techniques unique, more often [End Page 102] than not, to program evaluation; and yet others view it as a research activity that employs standard research methods for evaluative purposes. Consistent with the last perspective, Childers concludes, \"\"The differences between evaluative research and other research center on the orientation of the research and not on the methods employed\"\" (1989, p. 251). When evaluation research is treated as a research method, it is likely to be seen as a type of applied or action research, not as basic or theoretical research. Weiss, in her standard textbook, defines evaluation as \"\"the systematic assessment of the operation and/or the outcomes of a program or policy, compared to a set of explicit or implicit standards, as a means of contributing to the improvement of the program or policy\"\" (1998, p. 4; emphasis in original). While certainly not incorrect, this definition, at least within a library and information (LIS) context, is too narrow or limited. Wallace and Van Fleet, for example, point out that \"\"evaluation has to do with understanding library systems\"\" (2001, p. 1).

The solution like substance filling up our eyeballs is called vitreous body, or vitreous gel, vitreous humor, sometimes only vitreous. It contains water mostly – 00% – and the remainder is mix of salts, sugars, protein, vitrosin ( a sort of collagen), acids, etc. With age group the gelatinous substance seems to lose its smooth and little parts of the gel break off and start going cycling within the center of the vitreous body. Although this may not be the only possible reason for floaters to occur. As the vitreous body shrinks and will lose fluid with age, it could disconnect from the retina and start floating around within the eyeball, and cause shadows on the retina.

Seeing phantom light flashes is sometimes harmless, but this symptom might signal a serious disorder requiring urgent medical treatment. Photopsia most commonly originates within the eye itself, but can also occur due to disorders affecting visual nerve pathways in the brain. See you doctor if you experience light flashes to determine the cause and appropriate treatment, if needed. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Harmless Flashes An occasional light flash in the eye can occur in healthy people without eye or medical problems. Most people discover during childhood that pressing or rubbing the eyes often elicits the appearance of sparkling or flashing lights, colors and shapes. This occurs because pressure on the eye mechanically stimulates the nerves of the retina, the vision-perceiving area at the back of the eye.

These particles are most effective in scattering the higher frequency and shorter wavelength portions of the visible light spectrum. This scattering process involves the absorption of a light wave by an atom followed by reemission of a light wave in a variety of directions. The amount of multidirectional scattering that occurs is dependent upon the frequency of the light. ... So as white light.. from the sun passes through our atmosphere, the high frequencies become scattered by atmospheric particles while the lower frequencies are most likely to pass through the atmosphere without a significant alteration in their direction. This scattering of the higher frequencies of light illuminates the skies with light on the BIV end of the visible spectrum. Compared to blue light, violet light is most easily scattered by atmospheric particles.

A photo taken under water at one metre distance is not unlike a telephoto above water at 800 metres distance, both looking bluish while lacking contrast. The way light changes under water is responsible for the typical under water 'atmosphere' and it offers creative possibilities not found on land.

Although exposure to the ultraviolet (UV) rays of the sun or artificial sources, like a tanning bed, can be damaging to your vision, your eyes do not get sunburned the same way your skin does. They will not turn pink or red, or become a darker color. When eyes are sunburned, this usually means that the retina (the layer in the back of the eye that is very sensitive to light) or that the cornea (the colored part of your eye) has been damaged. Have you ever looked directly at the sun? The way you most likely react to the bright light is by squinting your eyes or shielding them with your hand. It definitely isn’t a comfortable feeling! In a sense, the UV rays hurt your eyes so much that you do not want to stare at the sun for too long, which is something that you shouldn’t do anyway.

[ { "docid": "D216093#0", "title": "http://symbolism.wikia.com/wiki/Lightning\nLightning", "text": "\"A bolt of lightning is symbolic. It is a symbol of loss of ignorance. It also represents the punishment olof humans from the Gods. In dreams, lightning is a symbol of a terrible event and negativity. A thunderbolt is a traditional expression for a discharge of lightning or a symbolic representation thereof. In its original usage the word may also have been a description of meteors, although this is not currently the case. As a divine manifestation it has been a powerful symbol throughout history, and has appeared in many mythologies. Drawing from this powerful association, the thunderbolt is often found in military symbolism and semiotic representations of electricity. . Lightning plays a role in many mythologies, often as the weapon of a sky and storm god. As such, it is an unsurpassed method of dramatic instantaneous retributive destruction: thunderbolts as divine weapons can be found in most mythologies." } ]

Answer by Martha Berge Confidence votes 10Examples of modern, more subtle racism, might be the glass ceiling effect (the \"\"invisible\"\" differences in salary, position, or appraisal experienced by women and minorities), or the \"\"positive\"\" stereotypes such as Blacks are athletic, Asians are intelligent. Symbolic racism means believing that African American poverty and other problems are largely the result of lack of ambition and effort, rather than white racism and discrimination. The glass ceiling could be symbolic sexism if there is a belief that it does not exist, and women just don't try hard enough. Otherwise differences in pay and opportunitys for women is just sexism.28 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

But even at a tender and impressionable age, that explanation seemed pretty silly. During most lightning storms the sky was completely covered with clouds, and I never saw lightning when there were only individual clouds in the sky. Something else was at work here. To understand lightning I had to learn about the nature of electricity: what it is, and how it moves.

what does a limit order mean on a buy
[ { "docid": "D557684#0", "title": "http://www.investopedia.com/terms/l/limitorder.asp\nWhat is a 'Limit Order'", "text": "\"Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load What is a 'Limit Order'A limit order is a take-profit order placed with a bank or brokerage to buy or sell a set amount of a financial instrument at a specified price or better; because a limit order is not a market order, it may not be executed if the price set by the investor cannot be met during the period of time in which the order is left open. Limit orders also allow an investor to limit the length of time an order can be outstanding before being canceled. Next Up Immediate Or Cancel Order - IOCDay Order Order Bracketed Buy Order BREAKING DOWN 'Limit Order'While the execution of a limit order is not guaranteed, it does ensure that the investor does not miss the opportunity to buy or sell at the target price point if it is dealt in the market. Depending on the direction of the position, a limit order is sometimes referred to as a buy limit order or a sell limit order. For example, a buy limit order that stipulates the buyer is not willing to pay more than $30 per share, while a sell limit order may require the share price to be at least $30 for the sale to take place. Stop Loss A stop loss order is the opposite of a take profit order: It is left to ensure that a transaction does not take place at a price worse than the indicated target. It can be used to sell an existing instrument or to enter into a new transaction. Conditional Orders Limit orders can have specific conditions added to them. An investor may indicate that the order must be executed immediately or canceled, which is called a fill or kill (FOK) order. They may also require that all desired shares be bought or sold at the same time if the trade is to be executed, which is called an all or none order." } ]

There has long been elegance and prestige associated with a fine watch made with precious metals and jewels. Originally, finely crafted, precision mechanical timepieces also served a serious need in accurate timekeeping needed to facilitate travel and communications across moderate to significant distances. But now, technology has made it possible to have an accurate wristwatch as the free toy in a fast-food kid's meal. Yet the aspects of watches as fine functional jewelry with poetic and nostalgic ties to their origins remain. I'm sure others can better describe and explain the value people find in owning and wearing fine jewelry. What it really boils down to is this: any wristwatch over US $200 is more jewelry than a timepiece. So forget about evaluating such items by adding up the cost of components, factoring in the value of precious metals or imagining some supreme value hidden in the mechanism inside. That takes you on a slippery slope to the insanity of people who argue over technical specifications they don't truly understand, trying to intellectually justify wristwatch values for technical and logical reasons that hold little, if any, tangible merit or benefit.

As long as there are willing sellers and buyers, market orders are filled. Market orders are therefore used when certainty of execution is a priority over price of execution. A market order is the simplest of the order types. This order type does not allow any control over the price received. The order is filled at the best price available at the relevant time. In fast-moving markets, the price paid or received may be quite different from the last price quoted before the order was entered.

Individuals typically buy and sell shares by using a licensed brokerage firm or broker who makes the actual trade. Historically, stockbrokers were hired only by wealthy individuals and families, but today a wide range of stock brokerages exist for all price ranges. So-called “full-service” brokers offer a suite of research, opinion, and expert advice and can offer a personal relationship between the broker and the client. For more budget conscious clients, discount brokerages exist that offer a much more bare-bones service offering, in some cases simply executing purchases and sales. Over the past two decades, electronic trading has grown significantly, with many online brokerages offering both research and opinion as well as trades at low prices, some asking as little as $5 or less per trade in commission.

The lowest ask price from sellers is $16.00. The market maker or specialist buys it from you at that price, hoping to sell it to someone else for at least $16.25. That $0.25 difference between the two prices is the amount the market maker pockets in return for taking the risk of buying the security without knowing with certainty what price she will realistically be able to sell it for. Fortunately for that market maker or specialist, I offer to buy the stock at the \"\"market price.\"\" The market maker looks around and sees that the highest price currently being \"\"bid\"\" by others who are specifying a purchase price is $16.25 so she sells it to me for $16.25. It seems to say that a market maker buys at the ask price, and sells at the bid price. But what I have understood before is contrary to the quote: a market maker buys at the bid price, which is the highest price of those prices at which each market maker is willing to buy, and a market maker sells at the ask price, which is the lowest price of those prices at which each market maker is willing to sell.

Orders are affected by three main factors: time in force, qualifiers and types. Learn more about order types by reviewing some examples. During volatile market environments, prices tend to move faster and bid/ask spreads typically widen—so it’s critical to understand and use the appropriate order types to help control your trade’s price, timing, and manner of execution. While many market factors are beyond your control, if you have a clear understanding of how the order you place will be received in the marketplace, you will be much more likely to get the results you desire. Here are some stock order basics: Order types These are guidelines that modify the execution conditions of an order based on volume, time and price constraints. A market order is an order to buy or sell a stock at the best possible price available at the time the order is received in the marketplace. A market order for a New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ listed stock will generally be filled at or close to the National Best Bid and Offer (NBBO). The NBBO is a term that refers to the best available bid price when their customers sell securities and the best available ask price when they buy securities. While orders will always be filled within the NBBO, i t is important to remember that factors such as the size of your order, significant news reports and rapidly changing market prices can result in execution at a price that may not appear to have been within the NBBO." }, { "docid": "D2003947#0", "title": "https://www.schwab.com/active-trader/insights/content/3-order-types-how-and-when-use-them\n3 Order Types: How and When to Use Them", "text": "\"3 Order Types: How and When to Use Them The final decision in placing a trade comes down to order type.

So just as a hammer, screwdriver, or wrench may be your tool of choice for a given construction job, each order type has its own function. Here, we'll focus on three main types of orders: market, limit and stop. As you consider which order type you'll need, first ask yourself two basic questions: Am I trying to buy or sell?

If you have a lot of guests coming from out of town, you will need a way to transport them to the wedding venue. Transporting people together saves guests from the cost of a cab (or renting a car) and it also alleviates the question of who will be the designated driver. Guests can be transported to and from the hotel without having to worry about the risks of drinking and driving. While the gesture of providing transportation for wedding guests is a nice thought, the cost can sometimes be prohibitive. In this article, we will go over all the transportation options for wedding guests along with a way to get the hotel to provide transportation for free. Let’s start with the best option, the hotel shuttle. Hotel Shuttle If you are blocking hotel rooms for wedding guests, then the hotel may provide complimentary shuttle service to nearby wedding venues. While the shuttle is usually smaller in size (7-15 passenger van), it suffices most weddings. If you don’t know which hotels provide complimentary shuttle service, then either ask your wedding venue or fill out this group hotel rates booking request form." }, { "docid": "D3007441#0", "title": "http://www.lasvegasdirect.com/la-to-vegas.html\nTraveling from LA to Vegas", "text": "Traveling from LA to Vegas Once you have booked your Vegas hotel, you will of course need to get to Las Vegas.

They can also add detail to how time is conveyed in a sentence. As a result, helping verbs are used to create the most complicated verb tenses in English: the progressive and the perfect aspects. These verbs also function to convey complicated shades of meaning like expectation, permission, probability, potential, obligation, and direction. Types of Helping Verbs Helping verbs are important since they are needed to make up the structure of a sentence. They are used to help the main verb. There are two types of verbs that can be used as helping verbs in English: auxiliary and modal. Auxiliary Verbs: Helping verbs that add meaning to the clause where they are being used are called auxiliary verbs (note that the terms helping verb and auxiliary verb are often interchangeable). They are used to express tense or to add emphasis. The three common auxiliary verbs have multiple forms: To be: am, is, are, was, were, be, been To have: have, has, had To do: do, does, did Be, do, and have can be either standalone or auxiliary verbs." }, { "docid": "D2923826#0", "title": "http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-find-the-subject-of-a-sentence.html\nHow to Find the Subject of a Sentence", "text": "Education Language Arts Grammar How to Find the Subject of a Sentence How to Find the Subject of a Sentence Related Book English Grammar For Dummies, 2nd Edition By Geraldine Woods English grammar teachers like to torture students by asking them to find the subjects of sentences. But why does it matter whether you can find the subject of a sentence? Well, all sentences contain verbs that express action or state of being. But you can’t have an action in a vacuum. You can’t have a naked, solitary state of being either. Someone or something must also be present in the sentence — the who or what you’re talking about in relation to the action or state of being expressed by the verb. The someone or something doing the action or being talked about is the subject. A someone must be a person and a something must be a thing, place, or idea. So guess what?

Gerunds can either stand alone, or they can take a noun (the object of the gerund) and/or modifier (s) to form a gerund phrase. Functions in a sentence Because they act like nouns, gerunds can be used as the subject of a sentence, the subject complement of the linking verb be, the object of a preposition, or the object of a verb. They can also be used to form compound nouns. As the subject Just like a normal noun, a gerund or gerund phrase can be the subject of a sentence.

There are two competing notions of the predicate in theories of grammar. [ 2] The competition between these two concepts has generated confusion concerning the use of the term predicate in theories of grammar. This article considers both of these notions. The first concerns traditional grammar, which tends to view a predicate as one of two main parts of a sentence, the other part being the subject; the purpose of the predicate is to complete an idea about the subject, such as what it does or what it is like. The second notion was derived from work in predicate calculus ( predicate logic, first order logic) and is prominent in modern theories of syntax and grammar. In this approach, the predicate of a sentence mostly corresponds to the main verb and any auxiliaries that accompany the main verb; whereas the arguments of that predicate (e.g. the subject and object noun phrases) are outside the predicate.

Lions once roamed the southern reaches of Europe. The influence of the power of the Lion's symbolism can be seen in it's representation in both Chinese and Japanese art and mythology, both cultures beyond it's range. The Lion was often used as a symbol of Royalty, as in many cultures it was considered the \"\"King of the Beasts\"\". In early Christianity, as Jesus was seen to be the \"\"King of Kings\"\", he was often represented by a Lion, and a Lion was the symbol of St. Mark. The Lion is mentioned many times in the Bible and the time when a Lion lays with a Lamb is seen as the dawning of a New Age. The Lion or Leo, is one of the twelve signs of the Zodiac and represents the Sun. Stone lions can be found in temples and important architectural buildings encompassing the Mediterranean, from Assyria and Egypt, to Babylonia, from Greece to Rome. In African cultures the Lion was a powerful symbol in many Creation Myths, as both Creator and Destructor, and in some cultures the Lion figured prominently in rites of passages to becoming a man and full-fledged warrior. To kill a lion single-handedly was the height of prowess for a hunter." } ]

Every tattoo or ‘Flash’ is a personal statement but there are certain common meanings. Here are a few of our favorite Tattoo Meanings. SWALLOW TATTOOSIn addition to indicating that a sailor had sailed 5000 miles, swallow tattoos are also associated with the idea of return. This \"\"return\"\" symbolism is rooted in two ideas. The first was the swallow's famous migration pattern, always returning home to San Juan Capistrano. Second, it was believed that if a sailor dies at sea, birds carry his soul home to heaven. ANCHOR TATTOOSAt sea, the anchor is the most secure object in a sailor's life, making it the perfect representation of stability. This is why you'll often see anchor tattoos emblazoned with \"\"Mom\"\" or the name of a sailor's sweetheart (the people who keep them grounded). Anchors have become popular within general tattoo culture over the years, but the symbolism is still the same." }, { "docid": "D1344709#0", "title": "http://tattooton.com/10-best-indian-tattoo-designs/\n10 Best Indian Tattoo Designs", "text": "Best tattoo Designs10 Best Indian Tattoo Designs November 26, 2013 522085Share 248 Tweet +1 54 Share 77 Stumble51 Pin 402832Designing tattoos at any part of the body have become a new fashion and style statement in the world.

He was sure that Siddhartha would attain 'supreme knowledge', that is, become a Buddha. Married at sixteen, the young prince resided in the royal court of his father until he was in his late twenties, when his wife bore him a son. Up until this time, Siddhartha had lived a protected existence within palace walls, but he began to take notice of the general population and their lowly state of poverty, sickness, and ultimately, death. He saw the truth behind human existence - and was shocked - at how little control people had over their fates. Siddhartha left the palace, left his family behind, and became a wandering ascetic and disciple of various Hindu teachers. He even attracted a few disciples himself. But after years of searching and self-denial, he became disillusioned by the path he was on, and gave up the ascetic life. Consequently, his disciples gave up on him, yet Siddartha kept meditating. The year was 528 BC, and the place was under the Bodhi tree in northern India, when Siddhartha experienced his 'awakening'." }, { "docid": "D3487610#0", "title": "https://www.pinterest.com/pin/567735096764258940/\nExplore Symbols And Their Meaning and more!", "text": "\"Symbols And Their Meaning Rune Symbols And Meanings Colors And Their Meanings Glyphs Symbols Unique Symbols Spiritual Symbols Meaning Of Roses Meaning Of Rose Colors Pink Moon Meaning Good for Magical Book filler Spiritual Orbs and Their Meaning See more Color Meanings Colors And Their Meanings Witchcraft Magick Spells Wiccan Witch Light Meaning Purple Meaning Aura Colors Meaning Spirituality Orb colours and meanings See morefrom Fortune Tellers & Dreamcatchers Yoga Chakras Kundalini Yoga Poses Yoga Block Root Chakra Healing Chakra Healing Meditation Third Eye Meditation Meditation Crystals Sacral Chakra Yoga Meditation Jennifer Soldner: Simple Techniques to Unblock Your Chakras See more Palm Reading Daily Tarot Reading Aura Reading Intuition Psychics Paganism Witchcraft Wiccan Witch Empathic Developing Your Intuition Skills for developing or sharpening intuition psychic mediumship See morefrom Tumblr Dream Dictionary Symbol Dictionary Dream Meanings Summer Tattoo Dream Symbols Falling Asleep Dream Interpretation Book Of Shadows Magick These are dream symbols helping to interpret what dreams mean.

Japanese tattoo artists began their craft back in the Yayoi period (c. 300 BC–300 AD). Back then, Japanese tattoos were associated with spirituality and status symbol, identifying the master from the slave. However, in the Kofun period (300 –600 AD), things changed and tattoos began to have a negative connotation since they were used as marks for criminals. An indigenous population of Japan, the Ainus, who have lived in Japan for thousands of years, also used to have tattoos on their arms, mouth and even in their foreheads occasionally, which primarily influenced Japanese tattoo activity. This is because they have integrated with and penetrated modern Japanese civilization. The traditional tattoo images handed from this past generation are “images of the floating world” (called ukiyo-e in the Japanese language). These are wood-block prints produced by the most influential ukiyoe artists like Kuniyoshi. Kuniyoshi is also the creator of the masterful Suikoden illustration. The illustrated story contained 108 Chinese corrupt rulers who were marked with tattoos." }, { "docid": "D2308986#0", "title": "http://www.tattooeasily.com/egyptian-tattoo-designs/\n45 Egyptian Tattoos That Are Bold and Fierce (With Meaning)", "text": "Tattoo Ideas45 Egyptian Tattoos That Are Bold and Fierce (With Meaning)The Ancient Egyptians are a race both feared and revered at the same time.

Japanese tattoo meaning has added a depth to the art that has helped Japanese tattooing persist for so long and increased its appeal to so many outside of Japanese culture. If you’re thinking about getting a Japanese tattoo, then we recommend reading this guide to get acquainted with the meaning of traditional Japanese tattoos. There’s a lot to learn and if you’re going to put something on your body that lasts forever, you should at least understand what it means. A Brief History of Japanese Tattoos Traditionally, Japanese tattoos began as a means of conveying societal status as well as serving as spiritual symbols that were often used as a sort of charm for protection as well as symbolizing devotion, not unlike modern religious tattoos. Over time, tattoos in Japanese culture developed as a form of punishment similar to what was seen in Rome where it was common practice to tattoo prisoners of war, criminals, and slaves as a means of making their status in society instantly recognizable. Eventually the practice faded and tattoos returned as a status symbol among the merchant class who were, interestingly enough, banned from flaunting their wealth. Following World War II, tattoos were outlawed by the Emperor of Japan in an effort to improve Japan’s image in the west. Tattoos in Japan then took on a criminal element, but this didn’t stop foreigners from being so intrigued as to seek out the skills of Japanese tattoo artists–a practice that helped keep Japanese style tattoos alive." } ]

Freelance writer A living trust, also called an inter vivos or revocable trust, is an estate planning tool increasingly used by individuals and families of all income brackets as a way to pass on property while generally avoiding costs and delays associated with probate. It is one of the most important documents you can prepare in your lifetime. For this reason, it's essential you understand exactly what it can do for you, your estate, and your heirs. Here are six things a living trust does:1. Quickly distributes assets at your death. A living trust is funded by your assets such as property, bank accounts, stocks, and bond accounts and certificates that are transferred to the trust during your lifetime; upon your death, these assets are distributed quickly and easily to your designated beneficiaries by your chosen representative, called a \"\"successor trustee.\"\" Generally, no court action is involved. Without a living trust, your estate may go through probate. The probate process can usually take six months to two years." } ]

I have a will. Why would I want a living trust? Contrary to what you've probably heard, a will may not be the best plan for you and your family. That's primarily because a will does not avoid probate when you die. A will must be validated by the probate court before it can be enforced. Also, because a will can only go into effect after you die, it provides no protection if you become physically or mentally incapacitated. So the court could easily take control of your assets before you die -- a concern of millions of older Americans and their families. Fortunately, there is a simple and proven alternative to a will -- the revocable living trust. It avoids probate, and lets you keep control of your assets while you are living -- even if you become incapacitated -- and after you die.2." }, { "docid": "D2284035#0", "title": "http://www.trusts-etc.com/execs_ttees.html\nEXECUTORS & TRUSTEES: WHAT YOU OUGHT TO KNOW", "text": "\"EXECUTORS & TRUSTEES: WHAT YOU OUGHT TO KNOWTHE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN EXECUTOR AND A TRUSTEEAn Executor is the person named in a Will and appointed by the court to be in charge of probating the Will and settling the estate under the court’s supervision. In order to be appointed by the court, a petition for probate must be filed with the court, and if the nominated Executor agrees to serve and no one objects, the court will issue “letters testamentary” which authorize the Executor to gather up the estate assets, open an estate bank account, sell assets, pay creditors, and ultimately, upon court authorization, distribute the estate assets (after debts, taxes and administration expenses are paid) to the heirs in accordance with the terms of the Will. A Trustee is the person in charge of the assets held in a trust, and is normally named as trustee in the trust. If the trust is a living trust, probate will be avoided for the assets held in the trust, and court supervision is usually not necessary. In such a case, the Trustee may perform many of the same tasks that the Executor would otherwise handle, except without the burden of probate. If the trust is created in the deceased person’s Will, it is a testamentary trust and it will be subject to the supervision of the Probate Court. In either case, the Trustee is responsible for managing and distributing the trust assets to or for the benefit of the beneficiaries of the trust in accordance with the terms of the trust. SELECTING A TRUSTEE OR AN EXECUTORThe choice of a trustee or executor is a decision that should not be made lightly.

A living trust is often used to protect assets from the expense and delays of the probate process. A revocable trust is taxed as the grantor's personal assets, while an irrevocable trust is taxed as an independent legal entity. You may establish a living trust by executing a trust document and placing assets into the trust. Although it is best to retain an attorney to draft the living trust, it is possible to draft it yourself with the aid of an online legal document provider. Step 1Determine whether the trust will be revocable or irrevocable. You may revoke a revocable living trust at any time, but in most states, you cannot revoke an irrevocable living trust without either the unanimous consent of the beneficiaries or a court order.

It wasn’t that he didn’t love her—he did, but over time, Frank longed for his lost youth. You can see where this is going and it’s not good. Laurie worked full-time to put Frank through college and law school. He worked long hours and she stayed home with the kids. As his success rose, they began to lead separate lives. He and his buddies would routinely frequent strip clubs after work and occasionally bust out for a Vegas trip which inevitably did not stay in there.

A living trust is an arrangement a person enters into while they are alive to use her property to benefit others, called beneficiaries. The trust property is managed and distributed to the beneficiaries according to terms established in a trust agreement by a third party trustee. Many times the terms of the living trust can be changed by its creator during her lifetime. A power of attorney is a document that allows a person, or principal, to give another the ability to act on his behalf as his agent. Whether an agent with power of attorney can change a living trust depends on how the power of attorney is drafted. Limited vs. General There are different types of powers of attorney. A limited power of attorney only permits an agent to act for the principal in areas it specifically defines. For example, a limited power of attorney may only grant an agent the right to sell the principal’s house or change the terms of a living trust the principal created.

The Tax Advantages for Creating a Trust for Real Estate Any time you receive property – either by gift, through a will bequest, or handed down through a living trust – you have to consider the tax issues that come with it.. Whether you actually end up paying taxes depends on several factors. What you do with the house and where the property is located play a big part. Income Tax The Internal Revenue Service does not tax inherited real estate as income, even if it comes from a trust. If you had inherited cash, this would be representative of the living trust's income, so you would receive a Schedule K-1 from the trustee and you'd have to report it on your tax return. Real estate represents the trust's principal or corpus, however, so you can typically take possession of the property without paying taxes on it. An exception exists if you decide to rent the property. The rent you receive is income to you, although you can generally deduct any costs you incur in finding a tenant and maintaining the property.

The person who forms the trust is called the grantor or trustmaker, and in most cases, he also serves as the trustee, controlling and managing the assets he placed there. Some trustmakers prefer to have an institution or attorney acts as trustee, although this is somewhat uncommon with this type of trust. A revocable living trust covers three phases of the trustmaker's life: his lifetime, possible incapacitation, and what happens after his death. Phase One of a Revocable Living Trust: The Trustmaker is Alive and Well The trust's formation documents should include specific provisions allowing the trustmaker to invest and spend the trust assets for his benefit during his lifetime. He can go about business as usual with the assets that have been transferred or funded into the trust's ownership, assuming he hasn't appointed someone else to act as trustee. In this case, the trustee would typically take direction from him. The trustmaker reserves the right to undo a revocable trust -- thus the term \"\"revocable.\"\" He can reclaim assets he's placed into it, divert the trust's income to himself or another beneficiary, sell the assets or place more assets into it. He maintains final control." }, { "docid": "D1893519#0", "title": "http://www.tn-elderlaw.com/resources/what-no-one-tells-you-about-living-trusts\nWhat No One Tells You About Living Trusts", "text": "\"What No One Tells You About Living Trusts This article was written by Timothy L.

A battery-condition indicator shows only that the generator is charging, by the rise in the voltage. It does not tell you how high or low the charging rate is - though normally any rise means that the charge is adequate. Many cars have only an ignition warning light, a red warning signal that should go off after the engine starts. This tells you that the generator is producing electricity - not whether it is producing enough to keep the battery charged. But any abnormal behaviour of the light means that something is wrong somewhere. Before making checks on the charging system, check that the battery is free of any defects which could produce symptoms similar to those of a faulty generator. If the engine will not turn over, check for loose or broken starter motor, solenoid or earth connections. Inspect the battery for loose, dirty or corroded terminals.

They do their job regardless of heat, cold weather and the drivers who demand so much of them. While a battery that allows a car start at the first turn of the key is a joyful thing, it doesn’t last forever. References: How To Recondition Batteries – Battery Reconditioning Methods - Moldite In fact, depending on where you live and how you drive, the condition of your charging system, and a number of other factors, a battery lasts about four years on average. And when it does give out, there’s generally no sign of trouble — your car just dies. While the lead-acid car battery hasn’t changed much in the last 100 years, it’s still a difficult part of the car to check during routine maintenance. Simple battery testers can’t, at this time, muddle through the chemical complexity of what goes on in a battery. Instead, they provide a sort of snapshot of the battery at the time it’s being tested — without the context of the battery’s chemical composition before or after the test. So the rule of thumb is simple for battery replacement: You have approximately four years before the battery will theoretically begin its slide from chemical powerhouse to chemical paperweight. At the four year mark, start watching, and hope your mechanic will detect a problem before it’s too late." }, { "docid": "D808370#0", "title": "https://www.electronicspoint.com/threads/charging-a-fully-discharged-car-lead-acid-battery.61278/\ncharging a fully discharged car lead acid battery", "text": "\"Forums > Archive > Electronics Newsgroups > Electronic Repair >charging a fully discharged car lead acid battery Discussion in 'Electronic Repair' started by Veggie, Oct 12, 2005 .

What Does “20 Amp Hr Rate” Mean? Share Tweet Share Share Pin Copy Link Lead acid batteries are complicated things. Take some lead and sulfuric acid, stick them in a container together and you end up with a potential chemical reaction that can produce electricity. The question is, when you need to know how much electricity is able to be created with that chemical reaction, what is the standard rating, and how is it set? We have answered this question the complicated way on the Peukert's Law Tutorial, but here's a more basic look at determining what you need to know. Several years ago when you would go to buy a car, the little tag on the window of a coupe might have read 42 mpg. Of course everyone knew that the only way to make that car get 42 miles to the gallon was to drive at 25 miles per hour on a newly paved level track. So in 2008 when the EPA updated their standards, the ratings all dropped to much more realistic numbers that most light-footed people can achieve. Battery ratings are very similar." }, { "docid": "D292351#0", "title": "https://motorist.org/articles/check-engine-light\nCheck Engine Light", "text": "Check Engine Light| | Categories: My Car The check engine light is part of your vehicle's onboard diagnostics (OBD) system. Computers have control and monitor vehicle performance, regulating such variables as engine speed (RPM), fuel mixture, and ignition timing, and may even tell the automatic transmission when to shift. When the electronic-control system finds a problem it cannot adjust, the computer turns on a yellow warning indicator and stores a trouble code in it's memory. These diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) help identify the probable source of the problem, such as a malfunctioning sensor or a misfiring engine and can be read with a scan tool or diagnostic computer. Vehicle manufacturers originally used the OBD system to help technicians pinpoint and troubleshoot malfunctions. Exactly what the OBD system looks for depends on the make, model and year of the vehicle. The original systems varied widely in their capabilities and some did little more than check whether the various electronic sensors were hooked up and working. With the advent of the OBD II systems, required under federal laws regulating automotive emissions, automakers were required to install a more sophisticated system that, for all intents and purposes, acts like a built-in emissions monitoring station. The check engine light is reserved only for problems that may have an effect on the vehicle emissions systems.

I have pulled the battery and alternator....both check fine a couple of times. The service 4 wheel drive comes on but it has done that since new. We suspected touchy sensors but I suppose that could be the source of the issue. The truck has been to a certified GM dealer and they said couple of fuses were corroded.

Updated Oct 29, 2017 · Author has 19.3k answers and 89.8m answer views There are several ways: Most cars have a warning light (sometimes called an \"\"idiot light\"\") which will indicate that there is a problem with your vehicle's charging system. Many older model and high performance vehicles have an ammeter (a gauge which display the current draw on your battery) and this can tell the operator that their vehicle isn't charging the battery. The most obvious signs will be the car's electrical system malfunctioning (radio sounding garbled,lights dimming,etc). But many people don't want to wait for this to occur. If you believe that your vehicle's electrical system is malfunctioning, I would suggest the following: If you own or can borrow a multimeter, place the negative and positive leads on top of the appropriate terminals while running the vehicle. Adjust the meter to read DC voltage and your screen should read between 13.8-15.5 volts. Anything lower means that your battery isn't charging; anything higher means that your alternator is malfunctioning. There is this way: http://www.popularmechanics.com/... You can take the vehicle to a number of auto parts stores and they test your battery/alternator for you for free. I would strongly advise against the \"\"old time\"\" method of starting the vehicle and then removing your negative to see if the car dies." } ]

( In Logistics)We’ve all heard the phrase, “you can’t make something out of nothing.” Resources are necessary to accomplish anything great or small. However, problems arise from using resources unproductively, applying the wrong resources, failing to tap into necessary resources, or directing resources toward the wrong outputs. In each of these instances, waste is created. Costs are incurred, time is consumed, opportunities for value creation and growth are lost, and customers are left less than satisfied. The first step in lean thinking is to understand what is value and what activities and resources are necessary to create that value (“value-add”). Once value is understood, everything else is waste. Defined, waste is “useless consumption or expenditure; use without adequate return.” Lean practitioners use the Japanese term “ muda ” when referring to waste, although they have typically done so in a manufacturing context." }, { "docid": "D2949251#0", "title": "http://cerasis.com/2013/08/22/non-asset-based-3pl/\nNon Asset Based 3PL vs Asset Based 3PL: Advantages and Disadvantages", "text": "\"Non Asset Based 3PL vs Asset Based 3PL: Advantages and Disadvantages Logistics // Steve Norall // August 22, 2013 // 10 comments3 0 0 41 12 056 shares Yesterday I wrote plainly about the difference between asset based and non-asset based 3PL companies. Simply put, the difference between the two is that asset based 3PL own parts of the supply chain such as trucks, warehouses, and more. A non asset 3PL does not own any of these, and is typically agnostic in the way of warehousing and transportation providers. Today I will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each. Typically, the advantage of one is a disadvantage of the other's. The argument on which is better is always debated, and you typically fall into one or the other camp depending on where you work. However, if you are a company who is looking to outsource your logistics to a provider, regardless of asset or non-asset, your best chance at providing the most value for your company is to choose the one that meets your needs, offers solutions, expert and reliable customer service, and ultimately choose the provider that will serve you in the long-term with the ability to scale as you grow and expand your business.

The complexity of the supply chain will vary with the size of the business and the intricacy and numbers of items that are manufactured. SCM is the acronym for the term “Supply Chain Management”. Supply Chain Management is the management of a network of interconnected businesses involved in the ultimate provision of product and service packages required by end customers (Harland, 1996). Supply Chain Management spans all movement and storage of raw materials, work-in-process inventory, and finished goods from point of origin to point of consumption (supply chain). What is Supply Chain Management ? Supply chain management (SCM) is a process used by companies to ensure that their supply chain is efficient and cost-effective. A supply chain is the collection of steps that a company takes to transform raw components into the final product.

On October 1, 1961, a separate common supply and service agency, the Defense Supply Agency (DSA), was established. Its headquarters were set up at Cameron Station in Alexandria, Virginia. When DSA first began operations on January 1, 1962, it controlled six commodity-type and two service-type single managers, from medical supplies, textiles and traffic management service to supplies for automotive, construction, and petroleum.

One reason may be that they haven’t made the paradigm shift as to how to implement lean. The Lean Supply Chain is a system of interconnected and interdependent partners that operate in unison to accomplish supply chain objectives. There should be metrics involved to monitor these objectives to ensure success across the supply chain. These metrics should be reviewed frequently to ensure supply chain success. These objectives are accomplished as follows:1. Eliminate All Waste in the Supply Chain So That Only Value Remains Creating a smooth flow of products downstream in a lean supply chain requires all departments and functions in the organization to work in collaboration. In the supply chain, the seven wastes translate to: o System complexity—additional, unnecessary, steps and confusing processes o Lead time—excessive wait times o Transport—unnecessary movement of product o Space—holding places for unnecessary inventory o Inventory—inactive raw, work-in-process, or finished goods o Human effort—activity that does not add value o Packaging—containers that transport air or allow damage o Energy- (Sometimes called the eighth waste): eliminate wasteful energy in the supply chain: minimize electricity, gas, utilities, etc.2. Consider Advancements in Technology To Improve The Supply Chain The following are a great list of technology investments that should be at the top of the list in the quest for the lean supply chain: Workforce Management throughout the Supply Chain,Omni-channel fulfillment, RFID,Supply Chain Management (SCM) systems, Electronic Data Interface (EDI),Trading Partners Interface (TPI-Retail Value Chain Federation),Customer Order Management,Customer Relationship Management (CRM)/Cloud Solutions,Transportation’s Yard Management Systems (YMS) to manage and track freight in the 3PL’s yard outside the warehouse dock doors,GPS for tracking freight,a Transportation Management System (TMS),and any other technology that streamlines the supply chain and improves communication and value to the customer.

Usually, the flow of goods spans from the point of production to the end user. The logistics management specialist is also responsible for ensuring that the raw materials and other items necessary for production get to the manufacturing plants as well as for coordinating the transfer of finished products from the factory to the warehouses. In addition, he or she is in charge of maintaining safety standards. Companies rely on logistics management specialists to conduct an analysis of the routing channels with the aim of finding the most efficient and cost-effective routes for transporting the raw materials and finished goods. Logistics management specialists must also analyze the methods of transporting the goods so as to decide which methods will work best. For instance, a company may transport its finished products by truck from one point to another. The logistics management specialist may discover that it will be cheaper and faster to transport the goods by ship. After deciding on the best routes and methods of transportation, the logistics manager will meet with the heads of various departments in the organization so as to integrate the various systems for placing orders, accounting and managing sales. Ad Another function of the logistics management specialist is to maintain safety standards in the various warehouses by establishing and maintaining safety practices and guidelines." } ]

Importers and exporters must agree in advance on their respective roles and the terms, conditions and definitions of the sale. A buyer and seller should know where a risk begins and ends, who is responsible for what (e.g., costs and documentation), who owns what and at what geographical point. And while there are a whole host of international terms in use, we'll focus on the most commonly used foreign trade terms provided by the International Chamber of Commerce's Incoterms rules. Whether you are an importer, exporter, broker, consultant, lawyer, banker, transporter, insurer or aspiring entrepreneur of international trade, you should familiarize yourself with Incoterms rules, which are considered essential to use in contracts for the sale of goods internationally. For example, here we discuss preparing a proforma invoice using one of the common terms, CNF, (see below) which means cost and freight - you are responsible for paying the freight costs and collecting from your customer later. All the terms highlighted below will affect the final numbers on your import or export quotation, as well as your financial responsibility for the shipment. The following is an excerpt from my book, \"\"Start and Run a Profitable Exporting Business,\"\" but I have adjusted it to reflect both importing and exporting and updated Incoterms.

Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: This could be hard to understand but if you know a lil chemistry it should be easy. The Anion Gap is an approximate measurement of ions, that is molecules with a charge, either negative or positive. Sodium and potassium are positively charged and therefore called cations; this is why they are often represented as Na+ and K+ respectively. These two are the main cations measured in the blood. Negatively charged molecules are called ANIONS. in your situations when anion gap is low that indicates your blood p H is low due to increased production of H+ by the body or the inability of the body to form bicarbonate (HCO3-) in the kidney. Anion Gap concentrations are expressed in units of milliequivalents/liter (m Eq/L). The average anion gap for healthy adults is 8-12 m Eq/L. If you experience some Symptoms like chest pain, palpitations, headache this may be a serious sign of Metabolic acidosis which is a process that can lead to Acidosis (acidity of the blood plasma) in your case it's low blood p H.

It is critical that oxygen delivery be maintained at adequate physiologic levels based on organ and cellular demand. Any fluctuation from the normal physiological range may compromise the systems and eventually lead to cell destruction and death. Thus, when interpreting arterial blood gas data, it is important that the clinician have available sufficient data to construct a clinical picture of oxygen delivery and metabolic status. 1 The data must be accurate and free from artifact and technical error. Blood-gas data will aid clinical decision-making and influence therapeutic modalities. The basic underlying goal is to maximize oxygen delivery to the tissues and correct the underlying pathophysiologic processes.

It is used to determine what a person’s anion and non-anion gap happens to be in regards to excess acid levels that may exist in the body. Called acidosis, too much acid can interfere with cell functioning and this may cause delays in treatment. The anion gap is discovered through the measurement of positive ions compared to negative ions. It is usually taken from the serum, but some medical providers may prefer a urine test instead of a blood test to get this information. It is important to note that the anion gap is considered a non-specific measurement. It increases when unmeasured anions increase, so a medical provider knows there is an issue, but doesn’t know what is causing the issue. Based on an individual’s physical symptoms, however, the test results from the electrolyte panel and the anion gap calculation can lead toward a diagnosis. The anion gap blood test is typically ordered when someone is suffering from specific physical conditions. This may include confusion, edema, or a cardiac arrhythmia." }, { "docid": "D3260597#0", "title": "http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/31/4/643\nCan Serum β-Hydroxybutyrate Be Used to Diagnose Diabetic Ketoacidosis?", "text": "Can Serum β-Hydroxybutyrate Be Used to Diagnose Diabetic Ketoacidosis?

The present study was undertaken to determine whether quantitative measurement of a ketone body anion could be used to diagnose DKA. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS —A retrospective review of records from hospitalized diabetic patients was undertaken to determine the concentration of serum β-hydroxybutyrate (βOHB) that corresponds to a HCO 3 level of 18 m Eq/l, the threshold value for diagnosis in recently published consensus criteria. Simultaneous admission βOHB and HCO 3 values were recorded from 466 encounters, 129 in children and 337 in adults. RESULTS —A HCO 3 level of 18 m Eq/l corresponded with βOHB levels of 3.0 and 3.8 mmol/l in children and adults, respectively. With the use of these threshold βOHB values to define DKA, there was substantial discordance (∼≥20%) between βOHB and conventional diagnostic criteria using HCO 3, p H, and glucose. In patients with DKA, there was no correlation between HCO 3 and glucose levels on admission and a significant but weak correlation between βOHB and glucose levels ( P < 0.001)." }, { "docid": "D2036181#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/What_does_the_abbrev_AGAP_mean_in_regards_a_blood_test\nWhat does the abbrev GLOB mean in regards a blood test?", "text": "\"Branwen 259 Contributions What does the abbrev GLOB mean in regards a blood test?

The results generally are obtained from a blood test, also referred to as a serum test. The results of the test will help the doctor determine the possibility of a condition commonly known as acidosis. The test measures the anion gap, which essentially is the difference between the level of negatively charged ions, or anions, and the level of positively charged ions, or cations, that are in the blood. Acidosis is a medical condition that causes too much acid to build up in the body. This affects the p H balance in the body and can lead to a host of medical problems if left untreated. There are two primary forms of acidosis. These forms include metabolic and non-metabolic acidosis. The treatments vary depending on the type of acidosis present, so the anion gap test is a valuable tool for doctors.

Lactic acidosis is characterized by a p H < 7.36 and lactate level > 5mmol/LLactic acid is produced under normal aerobic states in cells of the brain, retina, and erythrocytes. Under normal circumstances, lactate is circulated to the liver, and to a lesser degree the kidney, where it is converted into glucose or CO2 and H2O. Lactate + 3O2 → HCO3- + 2CO2 + 2H2O 2 Lactate + 2CO2 + 2H2O → 2HCO3- + glucose. In hypoxic states (low O2 supply) such as in strenuous muscle activity (seizure) or in low tissue perfusion states from circulatory failure, lactic acid is also produced anaerobically during glycolysis. This occurs via the following reaction: This conversion of pyruvate to lactate in anaerobic conditions is promoted by the accumulation of NADH and the depletion of NAD+ which is needed as an electron acceptor so that glycolysis can continue. The conversion to lactate results in the regeneration of NAD+ so that minimal amounts of ATP can be made indefinitely from glycolysis in states of very low tissue oxygenation. Lactate accumulation and lactic acidosis results because in states of low tissue perfusion such as shock, or in states of mitochondrion dysfunction, lactate cannot be recycled to the liver for conversion back to glucose or for further breakdown because both of these reactions as shown above require oxygen and both take place in the mitochondrion. There are primarily 2 types of lactic acidosis: Type A – Due to tissue hypoperfusion and hypoxia Type B – Not due to tissue hypoperfusion and hypoxia. Type A Lactic Acidosis Most cases of lactic acidosis are due to reduced oxygen delivery as a result of reduced tissue perfusion from shock or cardiopulmonary arrest. Other conditions such as acute pulmonary edema, can cause severe hypoxemia leading to reduced O2 delivery." }, { "docid": "D2153051#0", "title": "http://www.ld99.com/reference/old/text/2878909-539.html\n.", "text": "Ketoacidosis is a high anion gap metabolic acidosis due to an excessive blood concentration of ketone bodies (keto-anions). Ketone bodies (acetoacetate, beta-hydroxybutyrate, acetone) are released into the blood from the liver when hepatic lipid metabolism has changed to a state of increased ketogenesis. A relative or absolute insulin deficiency is present in all cases. The three major types of ketosis are: * Starvation ketosis * Alcoholic ketoacidosis * Diabetic ketoacidosis====When hepatic glycogen stores are exhausted (eg after 12-24 hours of total fasting), the liver produces ketones to provide an energy substrate for peripheral tissues. Ketoacidosis can appear after an overnight fast but it typically requires 3 to 14 days of starvation to reach maximal severity. Typical ketoanion levels are only 1 to 2 mmol/l and this will not much alter the anion gap. The acidosis even with quite prolonged fasting is only ever of mild to moderate severity with ketoanion levels up to a maximum of 3 to 5 mmol/l and plasma p H down to 7.3. This is probably due to the insulin level, which though lower, is still enough to keep the FFA levels less than 1m M. This limits substrate delivery to the liver restraining hepatic ketogenesis. Ketone bodies also stimulate some insulin release from the islets.

Description Metabolic acidosis is defined as an arterial blood p H <7.35 with plasma bicarbonate <22 mmol/L. Respiratory compensation occurs normally immediately, unless there is respiratory pathology. Pure metabolic acidosis is a term used to describe when there is not another primary acid-base derangement - ie there is not a mixed acid-base disorder. Compensation may be partial (very early in time course, limited by other acid-base derangements, or the acidosis exceeds the maximum compensation possible) or full. The Winter formula can be helpful here - the formula allows calculation of the expected compensating p CO 2:p CO 2 = (1.5 × [HCO3-]) + 8 ± 2If the measured p CO 2 is >expected p CO 2 then additional respiratory acidosis may also be present. It is important to remember that metabolic acidosis is not a diagnosis; rather, it is a metabolic derangement that indicates underlying disease (s) as a cause. Determination of the underlying cause is the key to correcting the acidosis and administering appropriate therapy [ 1].

The kidneys place a role in determining the body's ACID-BASE balance - that is, they help to ensure that the p H of the blood does not fall below or rise above 7.3. There are two possible routes by which p H can change: RESPIRATORY CAUSESRespiratory Acidosis results from a HIGH blood gas concentration of CO2 which becomes carbonic acid when dissolved in water. This usually occurs because the patient just isn't breathing effectively enough - such as in morphine overdose where the automatic control of ventilation is suppressed. The body must compensate for this dangerous decrease in p H (to put things into perspective, a p H of 6.8 will mean life is NOT sustainable) and in the case of RESPIRATORY ACIDOSIS, it employs a RENAL compensation. If the normal buffering systems in the blood are overwhelmed (haemoglobin, bicarbonate, phospate and plasma proteins all usually help to mop up excess acid) then the kidney excretes more acid, and reabsorbs more bicarbonate. This INCREASES the buffering capacity of the blood, and reduces the acid content. Respiratory Alkalosis results from a LOW blood gas concentration of CO2. This can occur during HYPERVENTILATION (e.g. during a panic attack, or during the early stages of an asthma attack). The lungs are 'blowing off' higher levels of carbon dioxide than necessary, and this pulls the p H up." }, { "docid": "D694981#0", "title": "http://www.thoracic.org/professionals/clinical-resources/critical-care/clinical-education/abgs.php\n", "text": "Interpretation of ABGs Interpretation of Arterial Blood Gases (ABGs)David A.

In addition, you will find tables that list commonly encountered acid-base disorders. Many methods exist to guide the interpretation of the ABG. This discussion does not include some methods, such as analysis of base excess or Stewart’s strong ion difference. A summary of these techniques can be found in some of the suggested articles. It is unclear whether these alternate methods offer clinically important advantages over the presented approach, which is based on the “anion gap. ”6-step approach: Step 1: Assess the internal consistency of the values using the Henderseon-Hasselbach equation: [H+] = 24 (Pa CO 2) [HCO 3 -]If the p H and the [H+] are inconsistent, the ABG is probably not valid.p HApproximate [H+] (mmol/L)7.001007.05897.10797.15717.20637.25567.30507.35457.40407.45357.50327.55287.60257.6522Step 2: Is there alkalemia or acidemia present?p H < 7.35 acidemia p H > 7.45 alkalemia This is usually the primary disorder Remember: an acidosis or alkalosis may be present even if the p H is in the normal range (7.35 – 7.45)You will need to check the Pa CO 2, HCO 3 - and anion gap Step 3: Is the disturbance respiratory or metabolic?

It is easily filtered out of the blood by well-functioning kidneys and levels typically remain relatively stable in the body and bloodstream over time. Creatinine is often included in routine laboratory testing to evaluate kidney function. There are many reasons why creatinine levels may be low, some as relatively harmless as a low-protein diet and others as serious as advanced liver disease. Low creatinine alone does not generally indicate a serious medical condition and can be caused by multiple factors. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Low Creatinine Related to Muscle Mass When the kidneys are functioning normally, a creatinine level most closely reflects the amount of muscle in the body. Low muscle mass is a leading cause of a low creatinine level. For example, as people age, their creatinine level may decrease as they lose muscle mass -- particularly if they are not exercising regularly. Another cause of low creatinine is severe malnutrition that leads to muscle loss. When the intake or absorption of calories from food is severely reduced, the body needs an alternate energy source to make up for the insufficient calories." }, { "docid": "D1784286#0", "title": "http://www.medicalsymptomsguide.com/what-causes-low-creatinine-levels.html\nWhat Causes Low Creatinine Levels?", "text": "What Causes Low Creatinine Levels? Creatine is a nitrogenous organic acid that occurs naturally in vertebrates and helps to supply energy to muscle. It is a break-down product of creatine phosphate in muscle, and is usually produced at a fairly constant rate by the body (depending on muscle mass). On a daily basis approximately 2% of the creatine found in the body is converted to creatinine. Creatinine is transported through the bloodstream to the kidneys. The kidneys filter out most of the creatinine and dispose of it in the urine. Creatinine serves a major role as it can be used to determine kidney functionality. Creatinine levels tend to elevate if the kidney suffers damage; as such extremely high levels of creatinine may be a warning of kidney failure. In male and female adults normal creatinine levels range from 0.6 to 1.2mg (per deciliter) and 0.5 to 1.1mg respectively. Elderly persons will have lower creatinine levels than normal whilst infant creatinine levels should be approximately 2.0." }, { "docid": "D3017408#0", "title": "https://www.vetinfo.com/dcushrenal.html\nCushing's with Renal Disease", "text": "\"Kidney problems from Cushing's treatment, Addisonian state Question: In early Oct. my 141/2 yr. old neutered male doxie was diagnosed w/Cushing's Disease.

Other cells, called lymphocytes, require environmental training to become fully functional. Lymphocytes comprise the adaptive arm (i.e. it adapts to the environment) of the immune system. We will look at the innate arm first. Innate Immunity All organisms, whether they are worms, insects or humans, are born with innate immunity. Innate immunity is essentially a series of unlearned defenses displayed by certain immune cells at birth and continue throughout the life of the organism." }, { "docid": "D951820#0", "title": "https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/285666.php\nAll you need to know about bone marrow", "text": "\"Newsletter MNT - Hourly Medical News Since 2003Search Log in Newsletter MNT - Hourly Medical News Since 2003Search Login All you need to know about bone marrow Last updated Fri 15 December 2017By Hannah Nichols What is bone marrow? Function Transplants Diseases Donation Bone marrow is the spongy tissue inside some of the bones in the body, including the hip and thigh bones. Bone marrow contains immature cells, called stem cells. Many people with blood cancers, such as leukemia and lymphoma, sickle cell anemia, and other life-threatening diseases, rely on bone marrow or cord blood transplants to survive. Healthy bone marrow and blood cells are needed in order to live. When disease affects bone marrow so that it can no longer function effectively, a marrow or cord blood transplant could be the best treatment option; for some patients it is the only potential cure. Fast facts on bone marrow Here are some key points about bone marrow. More detail is in the main article. Bone marrow produces 200 billion new red blood cells every day, along with white blood cells and platelets.

Below are examples of the variation in neutrophils = polymorphonuclear leukocytes:eosinophil - The type of granulocytic white blood cell (2-4% of total WBCs), containing large cytoplasmic granules which are stained red by eosin or other acid dyes; it is capable of phagocytosis and participates primarily in immune responses against multicellular parasites (worms) and is also involved in certain hypersensitivities (allergies).basophil - The least abundant type of white blood cell (0.5-1.0% of total WBCs); a non-phagocytic granulocyte containing large cytoplasmic granules which are stained blue with basic dyes; the granules contain immune regulatory substances including heparin, histamine and serotonin; these cells resemble and may be developmentally related to tissue mast cells (tissue basophils).mast cell - A cell found widely dispersed in very low numbers in connective tissue which contains numerous large basophilic granules; the granules contain immune regulatory substances including heparin, histamine and serotonin which it releases in response to injury or inflammation of body tissues; it is also implicated in the symptoms of allergies; these cells resemble and may be developmentally related to blood basophils.agranulocyte - Any of a group of white blood cells having only a few small granules in their cytoplasm; two subgroups are recognized based on their size, the morphology of their cytoplasm and their distinctive nuclei: lymphocytes and monocytes.monocyte - The largest type of white blood cell (3-8% of total WBCs); a phagocytic agranulocyte, having a single well-defined, often kidney-bean shaped, nucleus and very fine granulation in the cytoplasm; they have long lifespans and when they emigrate into tissues they differentiate into various types of macrophages; they are slow responders to sites of injury and inflammation and are highly destructive of microorganisms.macrophage - Any of the large long-lived phagocytic cells derived from monocytes comprising a major component of the diffuse immune system (sometimes called the reticuloendothelial system or, more recently, the mononuclear phagocytic system); these phagocytes from different sites in different organs and tissues have somewhat different properties; in addition to contributing to the killing of microorganisms and tumor cells; they release immune regulatory substances and play a vital role in antigen-presentation leading to the production of antibodies by B lymphocytes and the activation of T lymphocytes.lymphocyte - The smallest type of white blood cell (20-25% of total WBCs); a non-phagocytic agranulocyte, having a single well-defined, round, darkly-staining nucleus and a thin rim of cytoplasm with very fine granulation; they have long lifespans and play diverse roles in immune responses; several developmental subgroups are recognized, differentiated by their maturation processes and by the differences in cell surface markers they express: B cells, which function in humoral immunity, and T cells, N (null) cells and NK (natural killer) cells, which function in cellular immunity and non-specific immunity; the majority of these cells will be found in the bone marrow and the secondary lymphatic organs.plasma cell - Any of the antibody-secreting (immunoglobulin-secreting) cells found in lymphoid tissue, and in small numbers in blood, red bone marrow, and other connective tissues; they are derived from B lymphocytes = B cells in a complex process requiring lymphokine stimulation and reaction with a specific antigen, and usually the participation of antigen-presenting macrophages and T lymphocytes = T cells; they are larger than ordinary B lymphocytes, with more cytoplasm, an eccentric nucleus, and sometimes patch of pale cytoplasm near the nucleus which represents a faintly visible enlarged and active Golgi apparatus where the antibodies are being packaged for storage and secretion. B lymphocyte = B cell - A functional subclass of lymphocytes, originating and maturing in the bone marrow; identified by the specific cell surface markers they express; they function in humoral immunity; they make antibodies = immunoglobulins in a complex process requiring lymphokine stimulation and reaction with a specific antigens, and usually the participation of antigen-presenting macrophages and T lymphocytes = T cells; when actively involved in immune defense they may transform into plasma cells; any one B lymphocyte makes only one specific antibody; the majority of these cells will be found in the bone marrow and the secondary lymphatic organs. T lymphocyte = T cell - A functional subclass of lymphocytes, originating in the bone marrow and and maturing in the thymus; identified by the specific cell surface markers they express; (they do not make antibodies = immunoglobulins); they function in cellular immunity; they orchestrates and regulate many of the immune system's responses; several functional subcategories are recognized including memory T cells, helper T cells, suppressor T cells, cytotoxic T cells, and delayed hypersensitivity T cells; the majority of these cells will be found in the bone marrow and the secondary lymphatic organs.memory B cell - A functional subclass of B lymphocytes, which are produced after a B lymphocyte clone has become active in specific antibody = immunoglobulin production against a specific antigen; these cells are dormant during the initial response to antigen, but serve as rapid responders to any subsequent exposure of the individual to the specific antigen which was initially involved in their production; their presence insures that subsequent exposures to the specific antigen are met with a more rapid and powerful response; the majority of these cells will be found in the bone marrow and the secondary lymphatic organs.memory T cell - A functional subclass of T lymphocytes, which are produced after a T lymphocyte clone has become active in some specific cell-mediated response against a specific antigen; these cells are dormant during the initial response to antigen, but serve as rapid responders to any subsequent exposure of the individual to the specific antigen which was initially involved in their production; their presence insures that subsequent exposures to the specific antigen are met with a more rapid and powerful response; the majority of these cells will be found in the bone marrow and the secondary lymphatic organs.fixed macrophage - Any monocyte-derived phagocyte which is stationary within connective tissue of a particular organ; it displays finger-like projections of its surface folds to permit contact with passing particles; it carries out a scavenging, phagocytic role at its site of tethering; examples include: Kuppfer cells -- livermicroglia -- central nervous systemalveolar macrophages -- alveolar walls in the lungspleural and peritoneal macrophages -- serous cavitiesosteoclasts -- bone Langerhans cells -- epidermiswandering macrophage - Any monocyte-derived scavenging phagocyte which leaves the blood and patrols through the tissues of the body; they respond slowly and migrate to injured, inflamed or infected tissue sites.

Together with monocytes, they make phagocytic lineage that normally originates in the bone marrow. We know much less about granulocytopoiesis than about erythrocytopoiesis, but we know that there is a negative feedback between the number of granulocytes in the circulation and granulocytic line in the bone marrow. NEUTROPHILIC GRANULOCYTE Neutrophilic granulocytes play important role in inflammation. They move through the capillary endothelium and come to the site of inflamation. Kinetic studies of neutrophilic granulocytes showed that there are two compartments in the bone marrow: mitotic (proliferative) and postmitotic (the maturation-storage) compartments. The mitotic compartment consists of 3 parts: myeloblastic, promyelocytic, and myelocytic; and the postmitotic one consists of 2 parts: metamyelocytic (mature compartment), and storage (stab and segmented granulocytes). Only stab granulocytes and mainly segmented granulocytes migrate to the peripheral blood. In the peripheral blood 50% of the granulocytes are located in the so-called marginated pool in the blood capillaries. Under the influence of specific factors (for instance, epinephrine, physical efforts) granulocytes move to the peripheral blood, and in this way the number of leukocytes may increase by 50% (this lasts only 10-15 minutes)." }, { "docid": "D1283203#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/4146972/hematology-flash-cards/\nHematology", "text": "\"303 terms ericadallas Hematology Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Like this study set?

Save on fuel expenses with an LPG conversion and installation. Converting your car to LPG will save you money. LPG is typically at least 50 percent cheaper than other fuels, allowing you to recover the cost of an LPG installation in a relatively short time. For example, if LPG averaged 65 cents per litre, while unleaded petrol averaged $1.25 per litre, an average Commodore or Falcon travelling 15,000 kilometres per year would save around $24 per week on fuel. This amounts to approximately $1250 per year. A typical, straightforward LPG conversion can cost from $1,500 to $4,500 depending on the type of vehicle. Each vehicle will have different requirements, so drop into your local Repco Authorised Service for a tailored quote. When you bring your vehicle in for an LPG conversion and installation there is little that needs to be changed in the way of the car’s current structure but the following will be added;An LPG tank will be installed, either in the boot or under the car if there is enough clearance.

These tanks are extremely strong and safe and can be fitted in place of the spare wheel or as a cylindrical tank in the boot. Loosing a modest amount of space is the only sacrifice required – compensated for by the many benefits you’ll enjoy from operating on dual fuel. An additional LPG filler is also fitted. Under the bonnet the fuel control system and associated electronics are fitted. On a late model vehicle (2003+) this is usually a new style Sequential Vapour Injection (SVI) system (e.g. our Lovato Easy Fast system).

Combi, System or Regular? Combi boilers are usually cheaper to install than System or Regular, as they are compact, all-in-one units, but they generally only suit smaller houses (1-2 beds) and flats. This is because they heat water on demand and struggle to provide hot water to multiple outlets at the same time. System and Regular boilers are more expensive to install as they require a separate storage tank and possibly a header tank, but this means they keep a constant store of hot water for larger homes with several bathrooms or lots of radiators.

First, some short summary answers: Propane vs Butane Propane’s biggest advantage is a lower boiling temperature, at -42° vs -0.4°C for butane. So, propane will continue to vaporise – turn to gas – even in colder climates. Conversely, butane vapour pressure is about ¼ that of propane, which is advantageous for some propellant applications.

The following is a brief summary highlighting the main differences of these fuels. Much more comprehensive details of the fuel properties and compositions is available from other web sources and online databases. Compressed Natural Gas or CNG is stored on the vehicle in high-pressure tanks - 20 to 25 MPa (200 to 250 bar, or 3,000 to 3,600 psi). Natural gas consists mostly of methane and is drawn from gas wells or in conjunction with crude oil production. As delivered through the pipeline system, it also contains hydrocarbons such as ethane and propane as well as other gases such as nitrogen, helium, carbon dioxide, sulphur compounds, and water vapour. A sulphur-based odourant is normally added to CNG to facilitate leak detection. Natural gas is lighter than air and thus will normally dissipate in the case of a leak, giving it a significant safety advantage over gasoline or LPG. Liquefied Natural Gas or LNG is natural gas stored as a super-cooled (cryogenic) liquid. The temperature required to condense natural gas depends on its precise composition, but it is typically between -120 and -170°C (-184 and –274°F)." }, { "docid": "D356936#0", "title": "http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-difference-between-propane-and-natural-gas.htm\nWhat is the Difference Between Propane and Natural Gas?", "text": "While natural gas occurs in nature as a mixture of methane and other gases, propane is actually a byproduct of both petroleum refining and natural gas processing. Natural gas must be cleaned before being used, and byproducts of this process include hydrocarbons like propane in addition to butane, ethane, and pentane. The difference between propane and natural gas in domestic use comes down to their energy efficiency, cost, compression, storage, and risk factors. There is very little difference, however, when it comes to how well they perform in appliances for heating, cooking, or drying. Energy vs. Cost Propane provides more energy per unit of volume than does natural gas. While propane is usually measured in gallons (or liters), natural gas is found in cubic feet (or cubic meters). Heat is measured in British Thermal Units (BTUs), which is the amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of 1 pound (0.5 kg) of water by 1°F (0.56°C). When the amount of energy each produces is compared, both are measured in their gaseous form. Natural gas provides just over 1,000 BTUs per cubic foot (0.0283 cubic meters); the same volume of propane in gaseous form provides about 2,500 BTUs. This means that propane contains about 2.5 times more usable energy content." }, { "docid": "D606155#0", "title": "http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/lpg.shtml\nPropane: Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)", "text": "Propane: Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)Propane, or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), is a clean-burning fossil fuel that can be used to power internal combustion engines. LPG-fueled vehicles can produce significantly lower amounts of some harmful emissions and the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). LPG is usually less expensive than gasoline, it can be used without degrading vehicle performance, and most LPG used in U. S. comes from domestic sources. The availability of LPG-fueled light-duty passenger vehicles is currently limited. A few light-duty vehicles—mostly larger trucks and vans—can be ordered from a dealer with a prep-ready engine package and converted to use propane. Existing conventional vehicles can also be converted for LPG use. Since propane is stored as a liquid in pressurized fuel tanks rated to 300 psi, LPG conversions consist of installing a separate fuel system if the vehicle will run on both conventional fuel and LPG or a replacement fuel system for LPG-only operation.

Modern central heating can save lots of money on monthly fuel bills compared to older, less efficient options. Different Types of Central Heating Gas Central Heating Gas-fired central heating is usually the cheapest option available in most parts of the country, however, your property must be connected to the national gas grid. Some homes in the UK, particularly in rural areas, are not connected to the gas grid, so gas is not an option. Despite this, the majority of homes are connected, and as a result, gas central heating is the most commonly used heating system in the country.

Blue diamond symbol used on CNG-powered vehicles in North America Green bordered white diamond symbol used on CNG-powered vehicles in China Compressed natural gas ( CNG) (methane stored at high pressure) is a fuel which can be used in place of gasoline (petrol), Diesel fuel and propane / LPG. CNG combustion produces fewer undesirable gases than the fuels mentioned above. It is safer than other fuels in the event of a spill, because natural gas is lighter than air and disperses quickly when released. CNG may be found above oil deposits, or may be collected from landfills or wastewater treatment plants where it is known as biogas.

It is stored and distributed in hard containers at a pressure of 20–25 MPa (2,900–3,600 psi), usually in cylindrical or spherical shapes.

The typical Lube Oil pump must also be capable of operation over a wide range of temperature and liquid viscosity conditions. The VCRE family of pumps is designed specifically with these requirements in mind. The VCRE lube oil pump is a vertically submerged pump that utilizes an ANSI standard hydraulic construction, enclosed bearing housing, and welded piping construction which eliminates the inherent maintenance and leakage problems associated with other pumps. During operation, axial and radial thrust loads are controlled by Buffalo’s exclusive modified casing volute and impeller design.is backed by extensive field-proven experience in designing pumps to handle any lube oil application. This experience also provides flexibility in assisting OEM’s contractors and end-users in designing a sound installation that ensures maximum life. Our on-site lube oil test tank gives the ability to simulate field conditions in order to properly select VCRE pumps for the critical applications they are installed in. The lube oil test tank also allows for performance verification of any vertical lube oil pump if desired. The VCRE pump design has been a mainstay in the power generation industry for over 60 years. Our robust design on these vertical pumps has allowed for them to be implemented on various skid designs with several different turbine manufacturers." }, { "docid": "D1435091#0", "title": "https://www.consumerhealthdigest.com/female-enhancement-products/foria-cannabis-lube.html\nForia Cannabis Lube Review: How Safe and Effective Is This Product?", "text": "Female Enhancement Products Foria Cannabis Lube Review: How Safe and Effective Is This Product?2.5 / 5.0Page Score:?

PDAView Full Version : Have you been advised to replace oil pan gasket?spingears 05-18-2004, 04:55 PMMy grandson took his late model car to a fast lube service, had the oil changed, paid the charges, Next he went to a well known tire and service operation for \"\"Free\"\" tire rotation since the tires were purchased there. He was advised that the radiator was in need of flushing and antifreeze replaced (about $150 or so) and that the oil pan gasket needed to be replaced (est. $300). His mom told them to do the anti-freeze but not the gasket. He crawled under the car and could not find any indication of oil leakage. Also no history of unusual oil consumption. Question: Is this a scam and is it common practice with some service managers? Inigo Montoya 05-18-2004, 05:09 PMIf he ain't got no oil spots where he parks his car then he don't need no stinkin' gasket.

I am not ASE certified so the mechanics job isn't something I am looking into. However, the lube tech job seems promising although there wasn't a job description. I am pretty good at mechanics I learn and like it, but I am not an expert by any means. I emailed the manager and he talked a bit. I impressed it upon him that I wanted a face to face and sent my resume. I need to call and schedule an interview for later this week.

CONCLUSIONINTRODUCTIONViscosity is the measure of the internal friction in a liquid or the resistance to a flow. Low viscosity fluids flow easily (water, alcohol); High viscosity fluids pour slowly (molasses, cold honey, etc.). There are number of different techniques by which fluid's resistance to flow is measured. Because Viscosity changes with temperature and sometimes also with pressure, it is also important that when different fluids are compared that the measurements were conducted under the same temperature and pressure conditions. The common metric unit of absolute viscosity is the poise. For convenience, the Centi Poise (c P) [one one-hundredth of a poise] is the unit customarily used. Laboratory measurements of viscosity normally use the force of gravity to produce flow through a capillary tube ( viscometer) at a controlled temperature. This measurement is called kinematic viscosity . The more customary unit is the centistoke (c St) [one one-hundredth of a stoke]. VISCOSITY - General We are accustomed to the notion of friction as a force that is exerted opposite to that which brings about motion when one solid moves in contact with another." }, { "docid": "D1230380#0", "title": "https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/best-roll-in-bedliner-product.170363/\nBest Roll In Bedliner Product", "text": "\"Home Forums > Tacoma Discussion > 1st Gen.

First off, secure your KJ on a hoist/lift or stands. I'm lucky to be a member of a local off-road club and have access to a really well equiped shop. Housing prices here are retarded and I couldn't afford to live in a house with a garage and eat at the same time. Besides, it's a nice place to keep my tools.

By Robert Roman Figure 1 - Car Wash and Fast-Lube Facility The fast-lube industry in the United States consists of about 10,000 retail outlets producing over 100 million oil changes annually. The industry’s largest franchisor is Jiffy Lube, which operates about 2,000 branded retail stores nationwide. Valvoline is the next largest with about 590 “Instant Oil Change” branded stores. A fast lube is a facility that performs oil changes and other preventive maintenance services on motor vehicles. The prototypical store has a three-bay drive-through building with a basement so work under the vehicle and hood can be performed at the same time. The basic oil change service takes about 10 to 15 minutes and includes checking other fluids under the hood and, in some cases, performing a safety check, vacuuming the interior, and cleaning the windows. The price for a basic fast-lube service at a car wash is about $34. Like other relatively mature markets, the fast-lube industry is experiencing some decline in store counts, and larger firms are gobbling up smaller ones. In light of slower growth, rising operating expenses, and extended oil-change intervals, majors have redesigned and scaled down their standard building." }, { "docid": "D422760#0", "title": "http://cars.costhelper.com/radiator-flush.html\nRadiator Flush Cost", "text": "\"Cost Helper > Cars > Radiator Flush Radiator Flush Cost How Much Does a Radiator Flush Cost? Do-It-Yourself: $10-$50 Professionally Done: $40-$200E-mail Post Tweet Comments (40)A key part of a car's cooling system, a radiator is a sophisticated reservoir device that holds a mixture of water and antifreeze fluid (also called coolant); the radiator keeps the engine from overheating and in many cases it also cools the automatic transmission fluid. Rust and other deposits can form inside the radiator, which needs to be clean to be cool. Flushing the radiator is intended to remove built-up debris and to replace contaminated fluid. Typical costs: Expect to pay $40-$200 to have a radiator flushed, depending on the age, make and model of the vehicle; the recommended type and amount of coolant needed; and whether the work is done by a standard tire, muffler, oil-and-lube or auto repair shop, or by a car dealership, which tend to be slightly more expensive. Cost Helper readers report paying $54-$144 for a radiator flush at a standard shop, at an average cost of $99; and $70-$175 at a dealership, for an average cost of $109. Do-it-yourself supplies can cost $10-$50, depending on what is included. For example, a radiator flush kit [ 1] with clamps and garden hose adapters can cost $1-$15; a bottle of radiator cleaner [ 2] can cost $3-$25 for a 16-34-ounce bottle; and it can cost $10-$30 a gallon for standard antifreeze/coolant (typically green or red) or $15-$40 a gallon for super-long-life antifreeze with a rust/corrosion inhibitor (this coolant is typically orange). Cost Helper readers report do-it-yourself radiator flush costs of $13-$34, with an average of $21.

Effective 22 May 2008, the law makes it illegal to import, export, transport, sell, receive, acquire, or purchase in interstate or foreign commerce any plant, with some limited exceptions, taken or traded in violation of the laws of the U. S., a U. S. State, or relevant foreign law. The U. S. government can use this law to impose significant penalties on individuals and companies who are found guilty of such acts. This new law, and the new import declaration it requires, will affect manufacturers and exporters who ship a variety of products made from wood to the U. S., including paper, furniture, lumber, flooring, plywood and other products made out of wood. The ban on illegal timber as defined in the Lacey Act amendments has not been supported by a clear framework of regulation that sets guidelines for importers, exporters and traders.

Explanation: Triangular Trade refers to the trade between Europe, Africa, and North America over the Atlantic Ocean. Each continent had a different good that they typically supplied: American Colonies: The English colonies supplied lots of natural resources, such as tobacco, lumber, sugar, etc. They bought lots of slave labor. Europe: The European countries bought the natural resources from North America to manufacture goods (guns, clothes, furniture, etc). They supplied most of the manufactured goods. Africa: West African leaders would trade slaves from inland to traders in exchange for European goods. A trader could start in North America, picking up lumber, tobacco, and other natural resources and sell them to Europe while picking up manufactured goods.

Some of the earliest inhabitants were ancestors of the Menominee; these early immigrants from the north built burial mounds, conical ones at first, then large effigy mounds shaped like different animals. Other peoples arrived from the south and east, including ancestors of the Winnebago Indians (about AD 1400) and a tribe that built flat-top earthen pyramids. During the 17th century, the Ojibwa, Sauk, Fox, Potawatomi, Kickapoo, and other tribes came to Wisconsin. These tribes engaged in agriculture, hunting, and fishing, but with the arrival of Europeans, they became increasingly dependent on the fur trade—a dependence that had serious economic consequences when the fur trade declined in the early 19th century. The first European believed to have reached Wisconsin was Jean Nicolet, who in 1634 landed on the shores of Green Bay while in the service of Samuel de Champlain. Two decades later, Médard Chouart des Groseilliers and Pierre Esprit Radisson, both fur traders, explored northern Wisconsin; in 1673, the Jesuit priest Jacques Marquette and the explorer Louis Jolliet crossed the whole area that is now Wisconsin, via the Fox and Wisconsin rivers, on their way to the Mississippi. Other Jesuits established missions, and French fur traders opened up posts. The French were succeeded by the British after the French and Indian War (the British ruled Wisconsin as part of Quebec Province from 1774 to 1783).

June 1, 2014 by Karen Hill | Filed Under: Language Originally, the Lombards were a Teutonic people whose earlier name, Langobardi, long beards, was traditionally derived from the appearance, before the god Wotan, of their women with their hair combed over their faces. Startled, as he awoke from sleep, Wotan asked, “Who are the longbeards (longobardi)?”They were a warlike tribe, and in the year A. D. 568, with their families and possessions, moved south Ward into Italy where they occupied the plains at the head of the’,,Adriatic, a region that became known as Lombardy. In the fourteenth century, enterprising traders and merchants from Milan and other parts of Lombardy (see also MILLINERY), found it profitable to move westward into England. There, through ingenuity, they became bankers, money-changers, moneylenders, or pawnbrokers. The three golden balls, still marking a pawnbroker’s establishment, are from the coat of arms of the Medici family, long the chief family of Lombardy. They were so successful in these various enterprises, which then did not greatly differ, that the establishments themselves were popularly called “Lombards. ”From the various spellings employed in the early days, however, the name was usually pronounced lumbard or lumber. The latter became not only the usual pronunciation but also the usual designation of a Lombard pawnbroking establishment, sometimes also called lumber-house. Thence, because articles placed in pawn often consist of furniture or other cumbersome items that take up space, lumber assumed the meaning, “disused household furnishings.”" }, { "docid": "D1476613#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Washington_(state)\nHistory of Washington (state)", "text": "\"History of Washington (state)From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Washington's current flag.

From its raw form, the natural resources may go through further processing - cutting a tree into 4x4s, 2x10s, 2x4s and so on - or simply cleaned up, packaged and sold (a barrel of oil or a bottle of water). So, natural resource investing overlaps with more specialized types of investing, including oil and gas investing, precious metals investing, minerals and (base) metals investing and so on. If it is mined, cut or collected from above or beneath the earth's crust, then natural resource investors look for a way to buy in. One caveat, though." }, { "docid": "D999236#0", "title": "http://nationalhumanitiescenter.org/tserve/nattrans/ntuseland/essays/threeworlds.htm\n.", "text": "\"Three Worlds, Three Views: Culture and Environmental Change in the Colonial South Timothy Silver Appalachian State University ©National Humanities Center For nearly three hundred years before the American Revolution, the colonial South was a kaleidoscope of different people and cultures. Yet all residents of the region shared two important traits. First, they lived and worked in a natural environment unlike any other in the American colonies. Second, like humans everywhere, their presence on the landscape had profound implications for the natural world. Exploring the ecological transformation of the colonial South offers an opportunity to examine the ways in which three distinct cultures—Native American, European, and African—influenced and shaped the environment in a fascinating part of North America. The Native American World Like natives elsewhere in North America, those in the South practiced shifting seasonal subsistence, altering their diets and food gathering techniques to conform to the changing seasons. In spring, a season which brought massive runs of shad, alewives, herring, and mullet from the ocean into the rivers, Indians in Florida and elsewhere along the Atlantic coastal plain relied on fish taken with nets, spears, or hooks and lines. In autumn and winter—especially in the piedmont and uplands—the natives turned more to deer, bear, and other game animals for sustenance. Because they required game animals in quantity, Indians often set light ground fires to create brushy edge habitats and open areas in southern forests that attracted deer and other animals to well-defined hunting grounds. The natives also used fire to drive deer and other game into areas where the animals might be easily dispatched." }, { "docid": "D1608504#0", "title": "https://www.woodworkerssource.com/blog/woodworking-101/tips-tricks/what-does-44-mean-when-talking-about-lumber/\nWoodworking 101: What Does 4/4 Mean In Lumber?", "text": "Blog Home > Ask Us, Tips and Tricks, Woodworking 101Woodworking 101: What Does 4/4 Mean In Lumber?by Mark Stephens Feb 6, 2017 78Hardwood lumber comes in thicknesses measured in quarters of an inch. 1″ lumber is called 4/4 (four quarters). 2″ lumber is called 8/4 (eight quarters).

Most often these traders are dealing in raw materials used at the beginning of the production value chain such as copper for construction or grains for animal feed.

It has unusually large paws that act like snowshoes in very deep snow, thick fur and long legs, and its hind legs are longer than its front legs, giving lynx a stooped appearance. Canada lynx look similar to bobcats, but there are some distinguishing features: bobcats have shorter tufts on their ears, the tip of their tail is black on top and white underneath, and bobcats have shorter legs and smaller feet than lynx. Perhaps the biggest distinction is that lynx mostly occur only in northern states along the Canadian border or in mountainous regions, while bobcats range across almost the entire Lower 48 states. Did You Know? Lynx have excellent eyesight: they can spot a mouse at 250 feet! Also, the black tufts of hair at the tops of their ears serve to enhance their already phenomenal hearing. Lynx, like other forest hunters, play an important ecological role. As a mid-size carnivore, lynx target smaller prey species that reproduce relatively quickly. They also require a mixed habitat that includes younger forests with thick vegetation for hunting small prey, and older forests with a full canopy and good cover for denning." } ]

Unlike its parent breeds the Persian and the Siamese, which are considered natural breeds, meaning they weren’t created through human intervention, the Himalayan is a man-made breed developed by crossing Persians with Siamese to bring in the color points and blue eyes of the Siamese. Breeders began to work toward this goal in 1931, at first simply to determine how the colorpoint gene was passed on. Through selective breeding over a period of years, cat breeder Virginia Cobb and Harvard Medical School researcher Clyde Keeler developed longhaired cats with the distinctive colorpoints of the Siamese. The first kitten to be called a Himalayan was named Newton’s Debutante. In the 1950s, British and North American breeders became interested in achieving a Siamese-pointed Persian. Starting with the Cobb-Keeler “recipe” to get the colorpoint pattern, they then bred the cats back to Persians to establish breed type. Once the cats bred true, recognition as a breed was sought. Whether he is considered a variety of Persian or a distinct breed depends on which cat association you talk to." }, { "docid": "D677941#0", "title": "http://forums.outdoorsdirectory.com/showthread.php/24070-Lynx-(good-eating-or-not)\n.", "text": "\"Forum Alaska Hunting Forums Alaska Trapping and Predator Hunting Lynx (good eating or not)NOTES FOR VISITORS: Welcome to the Alaska Outdoors Supersite forums!

Lynx points, or what I like to call them, \"\"Wildcat Points\"\", are very beautiful and exotic in both color and in design. They come in the four primary pointed colors but have stripes. This added touch makes them look as if they are straight from the wild, resembling a wild lynx cat or white Siberian tiger. The lynx point Balinese cat is also classified as a separate breed in itself due to how they aren't considered a natural color of the Siamese/Balinese, and they're mainly specified as Javanese; the sister island of the Balinese island, because of their close proximity to each other. The reason for this is to separate the actual lines that created the lynx point design from the original points seen normally in the Balinese breed. This doesn't mean that lynx pointed Balinese are not purebred, as this cross took place many generations ago, but it also assures the difference between those lines where the Siamese/Balinese bloodline has been established to also produce these lynx pointed Siamese/Balinese. Javanese (Balinese Lynx Point) History Lynx points were first seen in many other cat breeds by the efforts of past cat fanciers who wanted to produce additional colors and designs in future litters. With this in mind, they wanted to pass on the genetic features of the “tabby” or lynx point design to other breeds to obtain the stripes that would otherwise be impossible to obtain. The lynx point design in the Siamese and Balinese breed comes from the previous breedings of a purebred Balinese/Siamese cat with a tabby house cat or a colorpoint shothair, meaning a Siamese crossed with a tabby cat." }, { "docid": "D2945999#0", "title": "https://www.quora.com/Whats-the-difference-between-cheetahs-cougars-jaguars-leopards-mountain-lions-panthers-pumas-lynxes-and-bobcats\nWhat's the difference between cheetahs, cougars, jaguars, leopards, mountain lions, panthers, pumas, lynxes, and bobcats?", "text": "\"Will Wister, animal lover Updated Nov 1, 2016 · Author has 2.6k answers and 12.5m answer views There are 4 species of big cats of the felidae family in panthera genus : lions, tigers, leopards, and jaguars.

It is a wireless system so there is no need to run wires through the walls for the devices to communicate. Installation can be a bit more involved than other kits as it is not plug and play and you need to get the control panel to “learn” the sensors and remote. But most find this doable it just takes time and patience. Also, you do need to separately buy a cable to run between the transformer andthe control panel. To monitor this system it needs to be connected to your landline or it can work with some VOIP such as Vonage. There are additional components that can be bought separately and installed inside the control panel to communicate over the internet or over the Alarm Net cellular network.

It has unusually large paws that act like snowshoes in very deep snow, thick fur and long legs, and its hind legs are longer than its front legs, giving lynx a stooped appearance. Canada lynx look similar to bobcats, but there are some distinguishing features: bobcats have shorter tufts on their ears, the tip of their tail is black on top and white underneath, and bobcats have shorter legs and smaller feet than lynx. Perhaps the biggest distinction is that lynx mostly occur only in northern states along the Canadian border or in mountainous regions, while bobcats range across almost the entire Lower 48 states. Did You Know? Lynx have excellent eyesight: they can spot a mouse at 250 feet! Also, the black tufts of hair at the tops of their ears serve to enhance their already phenomenal hearing. Lynx, like other forest hunters, play an important ecological role. As a mid-size carnivore, lynx target smaller prey species that reproduce relatively quickly. They also require a mixed habitat that includes younger forests with thick vegetation for hunting small prey, and older forests with a full canopy and good cover for denning." }, { "docid": "D168642#0", "title": "https://socratic.org/questions/what-are-some-examples-of-biotic-factors-in-an-ecosystem\nWhat are some examples of biotic factors in an ecosystem?", "text": "\"What are some examples of biotic factors in an ecosystem?

Explanation: In general, biotic factors are the living components of an ecosystem and are sorted into three groups: producers or autotrophs, consumers or heterotrophs, and decomposers or detritivores. Examples of biotic factors include: Grass as producers (autotrophs). Mouse, deer, and owl as consumers (heterotrophs). And earthworms as decomposers (detritivores).

The age range is wide and heavily debated. Some teachers say a child should start pointe work at eight, others twelve, and still others even older or younger. But how do you know the right answer for your child, your student or yourself? One of the major considerations is bone ossification, which is the natural process where soft tissue hardens or calcifies to form bonelike material. There is wide and very well documented research on bone ossification. At ages 10-11 the ossification of the bones of the feet, in girls, is normally only 50-60% complete. By age 11½-12 it is approximately 75% complete, and by age 13-14 the fusion is usually at 100%.

In villages and towns around the world, dancing has always been a form of entertainment and celebration and, in many instances, helped to mark religious occasions. Dance evolved over the centuries, achieving great heights during the Renaissance when theatrical, rather than social, dancing took shape through the introduction of the ballo. This was an Italian form of entertainment in which simple country dances were adopted by the nobility and executed by the men and women of the court. When Catherine de Medici of Italy married Henry II of France in the 15th century, she brought the ballo tradition with her to France. Ballet was born during the 16th century as Medici devised the ballet de cour entertainment at court in which courtiers danced, sang, recited dialogues and mimed or gestured to an accompaniment of instrumental music. The first ballet that told a story through dancing was Le Ballet Comique de la Reine, which was presented at the French court in 1581. This type of entertainment became so popular that the members of the nobility all acquired dancing masters to give them lessons in ballet. In the 17th century, King Louis XIV of France, known as the Sun King, not only greatly admired ballet spectacles but participated in them. He had his own private dance master and he founded the first dance academy in Paris in 1661." }, { "docid": "D24726#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dance\nDance", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For other uses, see Dance (disambiguation).

An important distinction is to be drawn between the contexts of theatrical and participatory dance, [4] although these two categories are not always completely separate; both may have special functions, whether social, ceremonial, competitive, erotic, martial, or sacred / liturgical.

When not on stage, dancers take daily ballet technique classes and rehearse for upcoming or current programs. A typical day of work for a dancer starts early with an hour and half class to warm up and refine their technique. Class is followed by four to six hours of rehearsals, sometimes followed by an evening performance. Dancers also get 1-2 days off a week where they are found doing normal activities just like you and me (grocery shopping, laundry, a stroll through the park, stuck in Atlanta traffic or capturing a movie or two).

Classical ballet is any of the traditional, formal styles of ballet that exclusively employ classical ballet technique. It is known for its aesthetics and rigorous technique (such as pointe work, turnout of the legs, and high extensions), its flowing, precise movements, and its ethereal qualities. There are stylistic variations related to an area or origin, which are denoted by classifications such as Russian ballet, French ballet, British ballet and Italian ballet. For example, Russian ballet features high extensions and dynamic turns, whereas Italian ballet tends to be more grounded, with a focus on fast, intricate footwork. Many of the stylistic variations are associated with specific training methods that have been named after their originators. Despite these variations, the performance and vocabulary of classical ballet are largely consistent throughout the world.

It's challenging for the dancer and entertaining for the audience, but the dance has changed a lot over the centuries. History of the Can Can What dancers now call the Can Can has its roots in one of the favorite social dances of the 19th century, the quadrille. The final figure of the group dance would feature the dancers performing high kicks and extravagant gestures with their arms. Originating in Paris, the moves may have been inspired by a popular dancer and entertainer named Charles Mazurier. Mazurier was very athletic and able to perform jump splits with ease. The Can Can dance (which literally means scandal in French) became a scandalous way for female dancers to show off their legs and kick up their skirts. The dance also offered the opportunity for male dancers to show off their own virility and prowess. Nearly Forbidden As with many popular, somewhat risqué dances before and after the Can Can, there were attempts to repress the dancers. The authorities went so far as to arrest enthusiastic kickers, but the dance never quite reached the point of being banned in Paris." }, { "docid": "D1528517#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/27866231/dance-midterm-flash-cards/\nDance Midterm", "text": "\"135 terms lizard11-11Dance Midterm Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Like this study set?

Victorian corsets were donned by young “gamines,” who pranced around for the bourgeoisie. Additionally, as a reaction against the mechanization of the Industrial Revolution, an “ethereal” aesthetic became popular. Pointe shoes were invented by Marie Taglioni in 1827 to heighten the lithe look, and Romantic ballets starred fairies and nymphs. Even male dancing in Romantic ballets was tailored to please male audiences. Basically, a male dancer’s role was merely to frame the female body, support it, and aid in its contortion.

This is a bold, attractive and emotionally generous film about a young boy growing up in the north-east during the miners' strike of 1984-85, who discovers in himself a talent for dance. And - to the horror of his striking miner father, played by the perennially excellent Gary Lewis - this is not even the virile and masculine dance of Gene Kelly. It is ballet: mincing, prancing, flouncing tutu-wearing ballet, and young Billy (Jamie Bell) has to work on his pliés along with all the girlies in a church hall where Dad sends him every week with his 50p sub in his hot little hand on the understanding that he is learning how to box. This is a film with a lot of charm, a lot of humour and a lot of heart. Daldry's direction and the screenplay by Lee Hall (who wrote the radio drama hit Spoonface Steinberg) distinguish themselves further in the discreet, intelligent way they deal with the question of Billy's nascent sexuality, avoiding vulgarity and prurience. The young male ballet dancer is not a stereotype, and yet the film certainly does not feel it necessary to reassure the audience that Billy is straight; for my money, that's part of this picture's liberal humanity. Billy finds himself in his embarrassing predicament when he is perpetually having the living daylights knocked out of him in the ring, unhappily wearing the seedy old boxing gloves that were once the property of his grandfather. Something in him responds to the sight of the ballet class in the opposite corner. He joins in, coming under the wing of the teacher, Mrs Wilkinson, played by Julie Walters, who in some ways is playing a version of the Michael Caine role in Educating Rita." } ]

On boys, the scrotum is small and compact, but after puberty it expands to accommodate the increasing testicle size and to provide more surface area to cool the testicles. In order for the testicles to properly produce sperm, the organs must be kept 1 to 4 degrees cooler than the body. To keep the testicles in the proper temperature range, the scrotum constantly changes size. If the temperature is too cool, the scrotum contracts, bringing the testicles closer to warmth of the body. The scrunching of the scrotum also thickens the walls of the scrotum and lessens the surface area, which minimizes the heat loss. If the temperature is too warm, the scrotum hangs loosely, bringing the testicles farther from the body. The expanded size exposes more surface area for excess heat to be dissipated. The scrotum will also draw up during physical activity, such as running or during sexual intercourse.

Answer Chris - This is a very good question; healthy testes make sperm at the rate of between 1000 and 5000 sperm cells per second. These collect in a long coil of tubes above and behind each testicle called the epididymis, where they are stored until needed. The testes hang external to the body within the scrotum to achieve an optimal temperature for sperm production. This is because sperm are made most efficiently at a slightly lower temperature than body temperature. In the epididymis the sperm are nourished and make their way to the vas deferens, which is a muscular tube connecting the testis to the urethra up inside the male body. When sperm are ejaculated they are pushed along the vas deferens by rhythmic contractions of the musculature. Once inside the body, secretions from the prostate gland and seminal vesicles are added, producing the semen that is ejaculated from the penis. However, although they can survive there for quite a long period within the male anatomy, a fraction of the sperm that are made are never ejaculated. Instead, they will senesce and are broken down." }, { "docid": "D3003619#0", "title": "https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/prostate/basic_info/benefits-harms.htm\nWhat Are the Benefits and Harms of Screening?", "text": "Prostate Cancer Basic Information What Is Prostate Cancer?

Testosterone is the major hormone in the body responsible for sexual development, including reproductive development. In men, testosterone is largely produced by the testes; in women it is produced in significantly smaller amounts by the ovaries and adrenal glands. Men typically have a greater overall muscle mass than women, due to the fact that the male body produces up to 80% more testosterone than a woman's body (Folland & William, 2007).

What tests would give answer to prostate problem? Q . I am 38 yrs old. I exhibit the classic symptoms of prostate problems (eg poor flow, frequent nocturnal visits, urgency) and have just had a blood test for PSA - I am still awaiting the results which will be available in one week's time. The advice on malehealth.co.uk seems to be that this test is inconclusive in determining either prostate cancer or BPH.

Barnard, M. D. The prostate is an organ that sits snuggled up under the bladder. Its biological purpose is to produce semen. As time goes on, however, many men have an enlargement of their prostates, causing annoying and sometimes painful urinary problems. The prostate is also the number-one cancer spot in a man’s body. These problems are not inevitable. They depend in part on what men eat. Like so many other parts of our biology, the mixture of nutrients we choose every day can encourage prostate cells to grow into an aggravating mass or can help them stay put. The bladder empties into a tube called the urethra, which passes through the prostate gland, where it is joined by another tube carrying sperm from the testes. Starting at about age 30, the prostate cells alongside the urethra start to multiply. If this continues, they can pinch off the urethra, causing a poor urinary stream, dribbling, pressure, and, ultimately, infection and kidney damage." }, { "docid": "D152979#0", "title": "http://www.naturalprostate.com/Prostate-Gland-Function.html\nThe Prostate Gland Function: 10 Crucial Functions of the Prostate", "text": "\"Custom Search The Prostate Gland Function: 10 Crucial Functions of the Prostate Prostate gland function - why you should know more!Before you make any serious decisions about how to treat your prostate, based on your doctor's recommendations, you'd be wise to read all about the 10 crucial functions of the prostate gland.

No wonder it is so vital to men's health and the propagation of the speciesfunction-of-prostate1. Gland: About a third of your semen comes from your prostate. That means that the primary prostate gland function is producing and secreting some of the alkaline fluid that you ejaculate. The fact that this secretion is alkaline helps the sperm survive in the acidic vaginal environment. It is because the prostate secretes something that it is considered to be a gland.2.

Besides ice hockey and the snow, one of the first things that come to mind when we think of Canada is the maple leaf, specifically a red maple leaf. It is the most recognized symbol of Canada. According to historians, the maple leaf became a symbol of Canada as early as the 1700s. In 1834, the St. Jean Baptiste Society, a French Canadian association founded to strengthen their linguistic and cultural heritage , made the maple leaf its emblem. Jacques Viger, the first mayor of Montreal, Quebec described the maple as \"\"the king of our forest; ... the symbol of the Canadian people. \"\" Two years later, in 1836, Le Canadien, a newspaper published in Lower Canada, suggested that the maple leaf would be a suitable emblem for Canada. In 1848, The Maple Leaf, a Canadian literary annual published in Toronto, ON, announced the maple leaf as the chosen emblem for Canada. By 1860, the maple leaf was used in the Royal Canadian 100th Regiment Badge. It was also used extensively in decorations when the Prince of Wales visited that year." } ]

The same year (1860) it was used as a decorative theme for the Prince of Wales visit. Alexander Muir wrote \"\"The Maple Leaf Forever\"\" in 1867 as a song for Confederation.

These may specifically distinguish organizations that derive their authority from the Crown (such as parliament or police forces), establishments with royal associations, or merely be ways of expressing loyal or patriotic sentiment. Most royal symbols in Canada are based on inherited predecessors from France, England, and Scotland, the evidence of which is still visible today, though, over time, adaptations have been made to include uniquely Canadian elements. Some representations were discarded during and after the 1970s, within an evolving Canadian identity, while others were created over the same time and continue to be up to the present. Today, symbols of the monarchy can be seen in military badges, provincial and national coats of arms, royal prefixes, monuments, and eponymous names of geographical locations and structures.

The first verifiable use of a royal symbol in Canada was when Jacques Cartier raised the Royal Arms of France on the Gaspé Peninsula in 1534. [ 1] Since then, some icons were created for use uniquely in the Canadas—mostly coats of arms. But, only after the First World War did growing Canadian nationalism lead to changes in the appearance and meaning to Canadians of royal symbols. Since Canada gained full legislative independence from the United Kingdom in 1931, images of the reigning monarch have been employed to signify either Canada's membership in the Commonwealth of Nations, [2] the Crown's authority, loyalty to Canada, [3] or Canada's full statehood.

In 1914 Canada was a dominion within the British Empire and had very little control of it's foriegn policy. That menat when the British declared war on the Germans, Canada automatically was involved and began to prepare troops to send to the field. Given there was an emerging sense of nationalism at the time however, the political leadership in Ottawa demanded the ability to send all their recruits into an all Canadian formation with the larger British Army and the leadership was glad to accomodate them. Now because the Canadian Corps' uniforms were the same as the British, the political leadership had set themselves to the task of developing the Corps needed to find some way to distinguish the formation to help build unit solidarity. They started with several different ideas, the most popular of which were symbols based around the much wider spread icon of the beaver. Problem was they just couldn't seem to make those symbols simple enough to be easily recognized. To remedy that, they settled on the less popular, less wide spread icon of the maple leaf and that ended up being what the soldiers ended up wearing on their lapels and in their hats in Europe.

Designed by George F. G.

[ 1] It is the first specified by law for use as the country's national flag. In 1964, Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson formed a committee to resolve the ongoing issue of the lack of an official Canadian flag, sparking a serious debate about a flag change to replace the Union Flag. Out of three choices, the maple leaf design by George Stanley, [2] based on the flag of the Royal Military College of Canada, was selected. The flag made its first official appearance on February 15, 1965; the date is now celebrated annually as National Flag of Canada Day. The Canadian Red Ensign was unofficially used since the 1890s and approved by a 1945 Order in Council for use \"\"wherever place or occasion may make it desirable to fly a distinctive Canadian flag\"\".

We didn’t have a flag for the first 98 years after Confederation. And, to get one it took decades of debate, election promises and some clever filibustering. “The search for the flag was really the search for a country,” said John Matheson, a Liberal Member of Parliament who sat on the flag committee in 1964. Consider this: Before the maple leaf, the Red Ensign with a Union Jack and the coat of arms of our four founding provinces flew above Parliament Hill. It was occasionally replaced by the Union Jack.

Ever since, the maple leaf has been a symbol of Canadian pride. History The maple leaf wasn't chosen at random. In fact, the adoption of the maple leaf as an important Canadian symbol dates to 1860, when the prince of Wales was visiting Canada. The English wore their traditional roses, the Scots wore their traditional thistles, and Canadians needed something to wear as well, so they chose a maple leaf. Canadian Unity Unlike provincial flags or territorial flags, the maple leaf represents unity across the entire country- regardless of birthplace. It is an inclusive symbol, and by removing the association with the Union Jack on the old flag, the maple leaf has become a symbol of Canada's nationality and independence. Why Red?

The largest Marine Iguanas are found on Fernandina and Isabela Islands where as the smallest Marine Iguanas are found on Genovesa Island. They are black or grey in colour but during the breeding season adult males develop red and green colouration and young Marine Iguanas have a lighter coloured dorsal stripe. They have triangular shaped dorsal scales and a long tail that they use to propel them through the water while swimming. They are often encrusted in a white substance which is mainly excess salt that has been excreted from their nasal glands. Marine Iguanas can lose up to 10°c of body heat during a dive into the sea, so after each dive they return to shore to bask in the sun and warm up. During this period they are unable to move effectively and can be highly aggressive towards any potential predators as they are unable to run away until their body temperature has risen. Habitat Marine Iguanas are found on the Galapagos Islands. When they are not foraging in the sea, they spend their time basking on rocks and often several thousand individuals can be seen together on the same stretch of shore. Diet Marine Iguanas mainly feed on marine algae." } ]

Lesser known than the island's lumbering \"\"mascot\"\" is the marine iguana, described by Charles Darwin in 1835 as a \"\"hideous looking creature, of a dirty black colour, stupid, and sluggish\"\" (Darwin, 1988). Despite its appearance, Darwin observed the marine iguana closely enough to recognize its main evolutionary adaptations from its land-dwelling Galápagos cousins, the land iguanas, Conolphus pallidus and Conolphus subcristatus.

The Galapagos Marine Reserve covers 133,000 square kilometres. This reserve, which lies a thousand kilometres from the Ecuadorian mainland was set up in 1998 to protect the waters around the Galapagos Islands and the many species of animals and fish that live there. There are so many marine species in Galapagos because of the cold ocean currents that bring rich nutrients for food and the great variety of habitats, coral reefs, mangrove lagoons, rocky areas and sandy beaches.

The islands are known for their vast number of endemic species and were studied by Charles Darwin during the second voyage of HMS Beagle, as his observations and collections contributed to the inception of Darwin's theory of evolution by means of natural selection. The Galápagos Islands and their surrounding waters form the Galápagos Province of Ecuador, the Galápagos National Park, and the Galápagos Marine Reserve. The principal language on the islands is Spanish. The islands have a population of slightly over 25,000. The first recorded visit to the islands happened by chance in 1535, when Fray Tomás de Berlanga, the Bishop of Panamá, was surprised with this undiscovered land during a voyage to Peru to arbitrate in a dispute between Francisco Pizarro and Diego de Almagro. De Berlanga eventually returned to the Spanish Empire and described the conditions of the islands and the animals that inhabited them. The group of islands was shown and named in Abraham Ortelius's atlas published in 1570. The first crude map of the islands was made in 1684 by the buccaneer Ambrose Cowley, who named the individual islands after some of his fellow pirates or after British royalty and noblemen. These names were used in the authoritative navigation charts of the islands prepared during the Beagle survey under captain Robert Fitzroy, and in Darwin's popular book The Voyage of the Beagle." }, { "docid": "D372056#0", "title": "http://www.iguanaresource.org/whatdoiguanaseat.html\nEnRICHing the iguana/keeper relationship through accurate care information and compassionate re-homing.", "text": "\"En RICHing the iguana/keeper relationship through accurate care information and compassionate re-homing.

Recent studies have shown that the green iguana is completely herbivorous throughout it's entire life. In spite of this information there still exists today the misconception that it is necessary to feed them bugs and animal protein. WHY SHOULDN'T I FEED BUGS OR ANIMAL PROTEIN TO MY IGUANA? Iguanas have a special organ called the \"\"hind gut\"\", which is located between the small and large intestine. Similar to ruminants in the mammal world, this organ houses beneficial bacteria, or \"\"micro flora\"\" that breaks down the cellulose in plants. This fermentation process extracts 30-40% of the plants nutrients for absorption in the body to use for metabolism and growth.

They inhabit all of the continents apart from Antarctica, from sea level to heights of 16,500 feet (5000m). Lizards live in diverse environments and are the most geographically widespread of the reptiles. That makes them the largest group of reptiles with about 5000 species. They have walked the earth for some 200 million years. Reptiles have the following physical features: they have vertebrate, lungs, and scales or plates. They are cold-blooded, getting all of their heating from the environment (the sun) which can be deadly during cold spells. What could be good about that? Well, this allows the reptiles to eat much less than a mammal of the same weight might.

Market research analysts help their clients figure out who their consumers are, what those consumers want and how much they'll pay for what they want. Analysts reach these conclusions with traditional methodologies like focus groups and surveys, as well as newer technologies. Market research analysts also churn out reports on sales trends and consumer demographics, preferences, needs and buying habits. They must be able to present their findings to clients in an easy-to-understand way. The process of collecting and analyzing data is logical and quantifiable; gauging why target audiences might be attracted to a particular product is anything but. This is why some of the most successful analysts seem to understand human emotions as much as they understand logic. \"\" Our industry has changed so much even in the last five years,\"\" says Ted Donnelly, managing director for the marketing research and focus group firm Baltimore Research, and chairman for the Marketing Research Association's national board of directors. \"\" We have so many new tools in the tool kit.\"\" One of those new tools is geofencing, which uses GPS or similar technology to construct a virtual fence around a business and deliver targeted advertisements to a customer's phone as he or she walks through a store." } ]

The fallout from the 2008 financial crisis has increased the perceived value of having skilled credit risk analysts on staff. After all, the crisis largely resulted from banks and lenders making loans to those who were in no position to pay them back on schedule. With companies now being much more fastidious about whom they lend money to, they rely on credit risk analysts to help them make credit decisions with the highest degree of accuracy. The scope of a credit risk analyst's job runs a broad gamut. Tiny mom-and-pop lenders all the way up to huge multinational banks employ credit risk analysts. Third-party credit rating agencies that are responsible for making public declarations about the risk levels of corporate and municipal bonds also use credit risk analysts to make these determinations. Investment banks, hedge funds and private equity firms employ credit risk analysts for the same reason: to analyze and grade bonds on their default risk. Having skilled and ethical credit risk analysts in such roles is more important than ever.

Knowing what an asset is worth and what determines that value is a pre-requisite for intelligent decision making -- in choosing investments for a portfolio, in deciding on the appropriate price to pay or receive in a takeover and in making investment, financing and dividend choices when running a business. The premise of valuation is that we can make reasonable estimates of value for most assets, and that the same fundamental principles determine the values of all types of assets, real as well as financial. Some assets are easier to value than others, the details of valuation vary from asset to asset, and the uncertainty associated with value estimates is different for different assets, but the core principles remain the same. This introduction lays out some general insights about the valuation process and outlines the role that valuation plays in portfolio management, acquisition analysis and in corporate finance. It also examines the three basic approaches that can be used to value an asset. A philosophical basis for valuation A postulate of sound investing is that an investor does not pay more for an asset than it is worth. This statement may seem logical and obvious, but it is forgotten and rediscovered at some time in every generation and in every market. There are those who are disingenuous enough to argue that value is in the eyes of the beholder, and that any price can be justified if there are other investors willing to pay that price.

Most of us have heard stories about business people who bring a project to programmers, and later on the project is either delivered late, or comes short of the specs. That’s not always the case specially when the Programmer does a good system analysis job during the project, but again not every programmer makes a good system analyst. Photography by Rastin Mehr © Some rights reserved In larger organizations, System Analysts make the communication between IT and Business departments possible. In the absence of System Analysts this relationship becomes gradually dysfunctional, until at some point one department manages to dominate the other in the power hierarchy. During this struggle, people on both side become overworked, undermined, and frustrated. Eventually, the excessive loss of resources and lack of productivity could bring down an entire organization. What System Analysts (SA) do, is to study a business model, break it down to smaller bits of tangible information and understand how they should be processed." }, { "docid": "D3279220#0", "title": "https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-a-buy-side-and-sell-side-firm\nWhat is the difference between a buy-side and sell-side firm?", "text": "\"Hedge Funds Investment Banking Trading (finance) Finance What is the difference between a buy-side and sell-side firm?ad by Columbia Business School Exec Ed Learn investment principles used by Warren Buffett.

Buy-side firms focus on managing the assets of others and are generally fiduciaries to their clients. A fiduciary role means that the organization has a responsibility to \"\"do what is in the best interest of the client\"\", not only what is suitable for the client - the standard that brokers are measured against. Buy-side firms could be mutual fund companies, registered investment advisors, hedge funds, or perhaps family offices. They are typically compensated by their clientele directly for managing their assets - either as a fixed fee, or more commonly as a percentage of assets under management Sell-side firms are focused on transactional business...specifically helping buy-side firms transact in assets they wish to purchase or sell. They are typically compensated based on the transactions they generate. Most major Wall Street firms conduct business as both buy and sell-side operations.

For example, upscale exclusive senior communities are sometimes called by the following names: age restricted senior communities, active adult communities, retirement resort communities, golf resort communities or adult retirement communities. As another example consider assisted living. Depending on the state in which they are licensed, assisted living facilities could be called by one or a number of following names: Alternative care, Residential care, Personal care, Adult congregate living care, Board and care, Adult living facilities, Supported care, Enhanced care, Community based retirement facilities, Adult homes, Sheltered housing, Retirement residences or Adult foster care. In some states the term \"\"assisted living \"\" or the term \"\"residential care services\"\" encompasses all of the above titles and in other states certain of the above titles are carved out and licensed for specific services of their own. Assisted living is commonly the term that experts use to define all of these services. But, to further add to the confusion, states that license the concept under the term \"\"assisted living\"\" define this service in all kinds of various ways. Some states allow for unlimited personal services and for help with activities of daily living, and even allow limited nursing care or special waivers for more continuous nursing care. Other states are more restrictive about what kind of services assisted living can perform." }, { "docid": "D2667870#0", "title": "http://forum.luminous-landscape.com/index.php?topic=51692.0\n.", "text": "haring Sr. Member Offline Posts: 288How does one become a product photographer?« on: February 24, 2011, 11:37:08 AM »The question is simple.

Owners receive subsidies from the government to lower the cost of their mortgages or to rehabilitate existing housing or build new apartments. In exchange, they are required to set aside a certain percentage of apartments as affordable for low- and moderate-income people. Most multifamily developments are mixed income housing.

Most people have only the vaguest idea of what these institutions do, and very few people indeed could, if pressed on the point, say why and how they differ. Even John Maynard Keynes, a founding father of the two institutions and considered by many the most brilliant economist of the twentieth century, admitted at the inaugural meeting of the International Monetary Fund that he was confused by the names: he thought the Fund should be called a bank, and the Bank should be called a fund. Confusion has reigned ever since. Known collectively as the Bretton Woods Institutions after the remote village in New Hampshire, U. S. A., where they were founded by the delegates of 44 nations in July 1944, the Bank and the IMF are twin intergovernmental pillars supporting the structure of the world's economic and financial order. That there are two pillars rather than one is no accident. The international community was consciously trying to establish a division of labor in setting up the two agencies.

what does a master cylinder do on a car

Not exactly. While the actual swap process is easy, there is one more step in the middle that you absolutely must do before you take the new unit to the car- bench bleed the air out. The master cylinder is a hydraulic pump. As you pump the pedal, it forces the fluid into the calipers/wheel cylinders (or clutch bearing for a clutch master cylinder). This works really well because fluid does not compress. Air, however, compresses quite easily, so any air in the braking system will reduce the hydraulic pressure by large amounts. Even a single air bubble in the brake line can make stopping your vehicle a scary affair. The master cylinder does not automatically bleed the air out of the piston when you fill it, this has to be performed “on the bench”, in other words, out of the vehicle. You can bleed it in the car, but it takes longer and requires two people- one to watch for bubbles and one to push the brake pedal." } ]

If a fluid leak occurs in one circuit, only two of the wheels will lose their brakes and your car will still be able to stop when you press the brake pedal. The master cylinder supplies pressure to both circuits of the car. It is a remarkable device that uses two pistons in the same cylinder in a way that makes the cylinder relatively failsafe.

Keeping them in good condition is one of the best ways to ensure that a vehicle has a long operating lifespan. When the braking system fails, there can be many different possible causes for such a failure. The most common cause of brake malfunction is due to a brake fluid leak. There are many reasons for a brake fluid leakage problem. And basically, the brake system has 4 main areas that could possibly leak: Brake master cylinder Area Brake line Area Front Brake Caliper Area Rear Brake Caliper or Rear drum cylinder Area The average cost to repair brake fluid leak On average, depending on the make and model of car being serviced, the costs of fixing a brake fluid leak are not too severe. This is not a repair that is going to set a vehicle owner back very much money when compared to some of the more costly types of automotive repair procedures. With the average make and model, you can expect the cost of repairing a brake fluid leak to be: Brake Master Cylinder Leak Repair: Between $100 – $200 (Labour $80 – $140)Replace: 200 – 300 (labour $40 – $80)Repair Brake Line Leak Between $100 – $200Brake Caliper Leak Repair: $100 – $200 (labour $80 – $100) for one side Replace: $200 – $300 (Labour $40 – $80) for one side Rear Drum Cylinder Leak Repair: $10 – $20 (Labour $80 – $100)Replace: $25 – $40 ($40 – $80)However, it is possible to fix the issue by yourself as long has you have sufficient automotive experience to know what you are doing. For everyone else, hiring a mechanic is going to be the smartest course of action to take to ensure that any and all braking repairs are performed carefully and correctly the first time.

The brake master cylinder contains brake fluid and is connected to the brakes through the brake pipes and hoses. When you step on the brake pedal, brake fluid flows from the master cylinder to the braking unit at each wheel, creating enough friction to slow down and/or stop the car. The brake master cylinder has internal and external seals that can wear out over time. If the external seals have worn out, they will leak brake fluid, reducing the amount of fluid in the car and causing the brakes to malfunction. Worn external seals can also leak the fluid into the brake booster and destroy it. The brake booster is essential for the proper functioning of the brakes, so if brake fluid has leaked into it, replacement is required. If the internal seals have worn out, the brake fluid will continue to circulate inside, instead of being directed to the brakes. This weakens brake performance.

IMHO They serve to LIMIT pedal pretravel by keeping a wee tiny bit of drag on the brakes. Different setups and brakes require different valve pressures. For instance if your M/C is mounted up high (higher than your calipers) you could likely getaway with NOT running a RPV on the DISCs - but IF your master is at or below the calipers then running a 2# RPV is a good idea. Your drum brakes are less efficient than your calipers (due to the return springs in part) so you need a heavier RPV there - I think 10# RPV is typical there.

If the fluid in your brake master cylinder reservoir gets too low, it can cause your brakes to not work at all. The reason that your brake pedal gets hard and stops the car or truck when you step on it is because the brake fluid is being pushed through the braking system to the brake caliper and pads, which then stops the car. If there is not enough fluid in the system then this will not happen. Let's take a look at some of the common causes and what to do about them. Low Brake Fluid Causes If you find that your brake fluid is low then there are two things you'll need to know. The first thing is that as your brake pads wear out, the caliper piston will be gradually pushed out of its housing.

Auto manufacturers put a LOT of design effort into creating a sealed, waterproof and dust-proof hydraulic system. As John Weathers stated, brake fluid absorbs and holds water, to keep brake lines and other metallic parts from rusting. There are two ways to figure out the need for flushing; brown, muddy appearance ( not just discoloration, but a sudsy and muddy appearance) which indicates MAXIMUM water absorption has been reached. The other way is to use brake fluid test strips to check for water in the fluid. The problem, however, is two-fold in inspecting and flushing. Most manufacturers now make the brake fluid reservoir translucent, so that the fluid level can be seen at a glance, without a need to remove the cap and allowing moisture from the air to enter. And ANY time the system has been opened (brake line replacement, gravity bleeding...any breech in the system) can allow both air and water to be introduced to the fluid. Finally, if the vehicle has 1st or 2nd generation Anti-Lock Brakes, all it takes is ONE small e\\amount of pressure, on the solenoid jets and/or filter, in the computer module, to create a $2,000-$4,000 repair for a new module/master cylinder.

Although replacing worn brake parts such as brake pads is extremely important, there are many components which tend to be ignored during inspections. One of the most important components to check is the brake fluid, which plays a key role in keeping your brakes operational. Here is how to add brake fluid to your car: How to add brake fluid Park the vehicle in a level area - Make sure the vehicle is stationary and on a level surface. Allowing the vehicle to move or having it at a steep pitch can make the fluid levels read incorrectly. Depress the brake pedal 20 to 30 times - Some manufacturers specify that this be done if the vehicle has anti-lock brakes (ABS). Tip: If your vehicle doesn’t have ABS, you can skip this step. If you’re not sure if you have ABS, do it anyway.

There's no margin for error. Brake fluid can be thought of as a moveable rod which functions to activate the mechanical parts that actually stop the vehicle. Bleeding the brakes flushes the old brake fluid out of the master cylinder, brake lines, calipers and wheel cylinders and replaces it with fresh fluid. Bleeding is necessary for two reasons: First, to remove air bubbles that may have entered the system while repairs were being made, because of a leak or because the fluid level got too low. The air must be removed because it is compressible and can prevent a full, firm pedal. This is an overview at a glance of the brake system components and the procedures used to bleed the system. Be sure to read the entire article however!The individual brake lines must be bled in a specified sequence (which varies from vehicle to vehicle depending on the design of the brake system) to remove all the air from the lines.

The typical brake system consists of disk brakes in front and either disk or drum brakes in the rear connected by a system of tubes and hoses that link the brake at each wheel to the master cylinder. Other systems that are connected with the brake system include the parking brakes, power brake booster and the anti-lock system. When you step on the brake pedal, you are actually pushing against a plunger in the master cylinder, which forces hydraulic oil ( brake fluid) through a series of tubes and hoses to the braking unit at each wheel. Since hydraulic fluid (or any fluid for that matter) cannot be compressed, pushing fluid through a pipe is just like pushing a steel bar through a pipe. Unlike a steel bar, however, fluid can be directed through many twists and turns on its way to its destination, arriving with the exact same motion and pressure that it started with. It is very important that the fluid is pure liquid and that there are no air bubbles in it. Air can compress, which causes a sponginess to the pedal and severely reduced braking efficiency. If air is suspected, then the system must be bled to remove the air.

As the intensity level of the exercise increases, the level of oxygen that the body utilizes to continue the effort increases, along with the levels of carbon dioxide and lactic acid, which are the metabolic waste products produced by the exercise…This process goes on until you cannot voluntarily continue with the exercise and have to stop. The measurement of a persons cardiovascular fitness is typically referred to by many as measuring V0-2 max. V0-2 max is the body’s maximal ability to utilize oxygen to perform work. In actuality, there are very few people who can voluntarily work hard enough to reach their V0-2 max. This is because V0-2 max is exactly what it means; Maximal work output, just before complete physiological crash, and not voluntarily sustainable for any meaningful period of time." } ]

While typically used to assist in keeping the lungs clear after surgery, it can also be used to assist in regulating breathing for asthma as well as helping someone strengthen and exercise their lungs. Function An incentive spirometer basically measures lung capacity, or how much air is needed to inflate the lungs, in a patient. Air blown into the cylinder provides volume measurements which help the physician or nurse determine how much a patient lungs are expanding. This also will inform the care providers as to how much oxygen is being provided to a persons system. Benefits Use of a spirometer is generally dictated by a physician. Not only does it enable a person to exercise their lungs, thereby increasing their breathing capacity, but it also assists in detecting any respiratory problems that may occur after surgery or in conjunction with lung blood clots. For example, if a patient is suffering from a clot, breathing deeply and completely can be painful. Patients and care givers can see how well medication is working as breathing becomes easier and lung capacity increases.

The four tests include the standing long jump, the seated power throw, the strength deadlift and the interval aerobic run. The new test isn't the first time the Army has used some sort of physical assessment for future Soldiers.

important component of any fitness program. However, establishing and maintaining ideal exercise intensities for optimally safe and effective workouts can prove challenging for both exercisers and fitness professionals. In designing cardiorespiratory exercise programs, it is meaningful to consider that many people engage in aerobic exercise to control weight, improve their health status or reduce their disease risk. Knowing your client’s goals and purposes for doing aerobic exercise helps to determine the appropriate intensity, frequency, duration and progression of the exercise program. Traditionally, aerobic exercise program intensities have been developed around accepted standards of percentages of maximum heart rate and oxygen consumption (VO 2 ). For instance, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends 55%–90% of maximum heart rate or 40%–85% of maximum VO 2 for most individuals (ACSM 1998). Although the success of these techniques has been consistently demonstrated, many fitness enthusiasts find the necessary objective monitoring (e.g., continuously checking heart rates) difficult and sometimes tedious. Recent studies have helped validate an easier way to stay on track: the “talk test.” This method appears to be a simple way of maintaining recommended exercise intensities while avoiding the problems of the more involved practices of heart rate and VO 2 assessment (Persinger et al. 2004)." }, { "docid": "D148448#0", "title": "http://health.gov/paguidelines/guidelines/Chapter2.aspx\nChapter 2: Physical Activity Has Many Health Benefits", "text": "Chapter 2: Physical Activity Has Many Health Benefits All Americans should be regularly physically active to improve overall health and fitness and to prevent many adverse health outcomes. The benefits of physical activity occur in generally healthy people, in people at risk of developing chronic diseases, and in people with current chronic conditions or disabilities. This chapter gives an overview of research findings on physical activity and health. The box below provides a summary of these benefits. Physical activity affects many health conditions, and the specific amounts and types of activity that benefit each condition vary. In developing public health guidelines, the challenge is to integrate scientific information across all health benefits and identify a critical range of physical activity that appears to have an effect across the health benefits. One consistent finding from research studies is that once the health benefits from physical activity begin to accrue, additional amounts of activity provide additional benefits. Although some health benefits seem to begin with as little as 60 minutes (1 hour) a week, research shows that a total amount of 150 minutes (2 hours and 30 minutes) a week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, such as brisk walking, consistently reduces the risk of many chronic diseases and other adverse health outcomes. Examining the Relationship Between Physical Activity and Health In many studies covering a wide range of issues, researchers have focused on exercise, as well as on the more broadly defined concept of physical activity. Exercise is a form of physical activity that is planned, structured, repetitive, and performed with the goal of improving health or fitness." }, { "docid": "D2171227#0", "title": "http://healthyliving.azcentral.com/heart-rates-cardio-vs-fat-burning-exercise-7556.html\nHeart Rates for Cardio Vs.

Some people use “fat-burning” to refer to exercise that occurs at the low end of your aerobic heart rate range, while others claim it occurs at the high end. Once you decide on your definition, you can easily find your target heart rate range for exercise. Fat-Burning If you are referring to exercises that burn most of your calories from fat, then “fat-burning” means moderate-intensity exercise, such as power walking or swimming with a kickboard. For example, power walking burns a higher percentage of calories from fat than glycogen, while jogging might burn fat and glycogen at a 50/50 ratio, with running or sprinting burning mostly glycogen.

Imagine this scenario: A client comes to you for 6 months of training with the main goal of improving his cardiorespiratory endurance. Six months from now, how will you know if your training program was a success? Perhaps your client will say he looks and feels better. Maybe you will notice he is able to exercise for longer periods at a much higher intensity than before training began. On the other hand, if you choose to administer a cardiorespiratory fitness test prior to and following the training program, you will be able to measure the client’s success objectively and provide him with better feedback. What Is Cardiorespiratory Fitness? Cardiorespiratory fitness is the ability to perform dynamic, moderate- to high-intensity exercise involving large-muscle groups for prolonged periods of time (American College of Sports Medicine [ACSM] 2000). The most important measure of cardiorespiratory fitness is maximal oxygen consumption, or VO 2 max.

In 1971, all subjects were asked questions by a physician regarding their health and lifestyle, including whether they smoked and exercised. They were also given a physical examination. The participants also performed a cycling test, set at three different levels of exertion, in order for the experts to evaluate their cardiorespiratory fitness.

A s kids’ fitness instructors, our challenge is to help children develop active, positive lifestyles. Integrating knowledge and activity will help convince children that exercise is important to their well-being and increase the chance that physical activity will become a permanent part of their daily lives. Once children begin to regularly incorporate fitness into their experience, they are more likely to modify other health factors to complement their healthy lifestyles. But you may not be sure how to incorporate knowledge and fun physical activities into a class setting. Relax! This article will give teaching strategies, class format tips, inclusive fitness games and management routines that will help you conduct successful classes for kids ages three to seven.

February 28, 2015Many people would agree that we benefit from the increased experience that comes with age. However, with each passing year, the aging of the body creates its own difficulties—the inevitable aches, strains, and pains of bones, joints, and muscles, not to mention changes in appearance. These changes are intimately linked with the passage of time. We may be able to alter the clock by setting it forward or backward an hour depending on the season, but we can’t change our biological clock. No one has figured out how to alter the pace-setter cells that mysteriously link the body’s aging with the number of times the earth revolves around the sun. Researchers into the aging process find their job made far more difficult by this age-time conundrum. Are the changes we think are due to aging actually due to social and historical changes? Consider aging within the Baby Boom generation vs. aging within Gen X: The Boomers had few of the benefits of improved social attitudes toward healthy eating and fitness characteristic of the younger generation as it approachesmidlife.

S. and Len Kravitz, Ph. D. Introduction There The incidence of obesity in America is currently on the rise. Approximately 25 percent of U. S. adult females and 20 percent of U. S. adult males are obese (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, 2002). Over the last two decades, the number of cases of obesity in the U. S. has increased more than 50 percent (from 14.5 percent of the adult population to 22.5 percent). The primary cause of weight gain is an energy intake that constantly exceeds the amount of physical activity or energy expenditure of an individual. According to Blair and Nichaman (2002), a decrease in regular physical activity, and not an increase in energy intake, is responsible for the recent increase in obesity prevalence. With the rising incidence of obesity there has been an increasing interest in investigating the determinants of fat metabolism (the complete breakdown of fat into usable energy) at rest and during exercise. Enhancing fat metabolism has become a key component in the battle of the bulge for many of our clients. Current research shows that, although exercise and training increase the amount of fat metabolized, there may be gender differences in the way we store and metabolize fat during rest and exercise. This article will provide an in-depth review on fat metabolism and explore the possible mechanisms involved in the differences in fat metabolism between men and women." } ]

They also have very little thermal mass, so they heat up very, very quickly. The engine block may be made of either aluminum or iron - if it's iron, it has a comparitively very low thermal expansion coefficient. It also has a great deal of thermal mass, so it heats up much more slowly. The upshot here is that the pistons will get hotter faster than the block will, and since they have that very high thermal expansion coefficient they'll expand radically as they get hot, while the cylinder they live in will not. The pistons will bind against the cylinder walls, badly scoring those walls, seizing the piston, potentially breaking the connecting rod, and possibly even permanently welding the piston in place.

Having found no exact definition, I assumed the Load to be dependent on the % of the Throttle being open and, thus, also dependent on the ratio of mixture volume to the full cylinder volume. WOT causes this ratio to be equal to 1 (or higher, if we have a volumetric efficiency > 100%), % of Throttle being open less than 100 causes the volume of mixture be smaller than the cylinder volume. Right? But RPM depends on the Throttle opening as well. Does it also mean that the RPM is proportional to the Engine Load? I feel I have a mess in my head. Regards, U6anivymike (Mechanical) 5 Mar 15 17:47Engine load is the power that the outside world takes away from the engine.

All cars built in the US from 1981 to 1995 were built with a system call OBD1, (On-board diagnostics one), basically the system monitored manufacturers specific systems in the vehicle, if there was a fault with one of the systems, it would send a signal to the computer, and that would activate the '' CHECK ENGINE'' light. Think you might have a bad oxygen sensor ? Virtually every car produced since the early 1980's contains a sensor which measures the amount of oxygen in the exhaust, then sends a signal to the engines computer to adjust the fuel mixture being delivered to the engine. The oxygen sensor works by sending information to your vehicle’s engine control unit (ECU) to help your car run efficiently as well as to reduce emissions. Symptoms of a Bad Oxygen Sensor When you have a bad oxygen sensor, your vehicle will run less efficiently, it can sometimes have a poor idle, erratic jerking at steady throttle, hard starting problems, cause the check engine light to come on, and will cause high fuel consumption. Thus, when oxygen sensor failure has been determined (When the check engine light comes on and sets an O2 sensor code) the sensor must then be replaced, a costly repair if you rely on a garage to do the work for you. However, replacing an oxygen sensor is a job that you can do yourself, (as long as the O2 sensor is not completely rotted into the pipe or catalytic converter) thereby saving you precious time and money.

Those preparing to enter this career field should find many opportunities for employment. Essential Information Media planners, also referred to as market researchers, analysts, and specialists, study different types of media to determine where, when, and how businesses should advertise their products. They use mathematical formulas to analyze demographic data in order to determine what type of advertising would best suit their goals. Many hold bachelor's degrees in market research, math, business, or a related field, but top positions often call for a master's degree. Although the market research field, which includes the media planning profession, is estimated to grow, competition for jobs is expected to be fierce.

Photo courtesy of Melissa Melvin, SNR/NDMC. Drought is an insidious hazard of nature. It is often referred to as a \"\"creeping phenomenon\"\" and its impacts vary from region to region. Drought can therefore be difficult for people to understand. It is equally difficult to define, because what may be considered a drought in, say, Bali (six days without rain) would certainly not be considered a drought in Libya (annual rainfall less than 180 mm). In the most general sense, drought originates from a deficiency of precipitation over an extended period of time--usually a season or more--resulting in a water shortage for some activity, group, or environmental sector. Its impacts result from the interplay between the natural event (less precipitation than expected) and the demand people place on water supply, and human activities can exacerbate the impacts of drought. Because drought cannot be viewed solely as a physical phenomenon, it is usually defined both conceptually and operationally. Conceptual Definitions Conceptual definitions, formulated in general terms, help people understand the concept of drought." }, { "docid": "D1615861#0", "title": "http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-20632277\nNiemeyer's Brasilia: Does it work as a city?", "text": "\"Niemeyer's Brasilia: Does it work as a city? By Robin Banerji BBC World Service7 December 2012Share Oscar Niemeyer the Brazilian architect who died this week will be best remembered for Brasilia, the city he helped design in the late 1950s. Niemeyer's modernist architecture made Brazil's federal capital a Unesco World Heritage site in 1987. But does it work as a city? Brasilia was planned from scratch as an ideal city and built on an empty plateau. Niemeyer was the architect and Lucio Costa the urban planner. The idea was, in Niemeyer's words, \"\"to build a new capital to bring progress to the interior of Brazil\"\". Built in the country's heartland, Brasilia was to be the opposite of the old coastal capital Rio de Janeiro. Brasilia would be without the colonial legacy, without baroque and classical architecture, without slums.

How many people can you follow/unfollow on Instagram at a time? Image Credit: Bored Panda We attempted to answer this question previously. Things haven’t changed much since but I believe we need a new approach when setting our follow/unfollow limits.

May 7, 2014La Kesha Womack0 Comments What is the difference between a seminar and a workshop? I can’t be the only person who has wondered this… We often see seminar and workshop being used interchangeably to describe a person presenting information to a group of people. However, there is a small difference between the two and in my opinion, it sets the expectation for the intended audience. Merriam Webster defines a seminar as:a meeting in which you receive information on and training in a particular subject While a workshop is defined as:a class or series of classes in which a small group of people learn the methods and skills used in doing something What’s my point? Often when we plan events, we neglect giving the event the proper title therefore people don’t know what to expect when they arrive. A seminar should set the expectation that the audience will receive information. In this setting the speaker will be sharing information or teaching about a subject. A workshop, on the other hand, sets the expectation that the audience will be engaged and involved with the training. This is important, especially for event planners, to understand so that when you book a speaker, you can be clear about what you want them to do." }, { "docid": "D1556166#0", "title": "http://blog.sandglaz.com/demystifying-the-bullet-journal-why-analog-task-management-sucks/\nThe Bullet Journal: why analog task management doesnât work", "text": "\"Sandglaz is the simplest way to manage projects with your agile team.

Schindler, Michigan State University Extension Tweet Pin It When regulating people’s property, one of the major concerns in the United States is that the regulation does not become too much – so that it does not infringe on a person’s private property rights. There are many ways government regulation may tread on someone’s property rights. Some of those are listed here: The regulation is so much, that it results in “taking” one’s property without just compensation – takings. Failing to follow due process of law – due process. The substance or content of the regulation exceeds what is appropriate subject matter for government to be regulating – substantive due process. Failure to respect and follow the division of authority between the different parts of government – separation of powers. This article will focus on substantive due process.

They have to plan for retirement too. But unlike you and me, these professionals have access to a wide variety retirement-planning tools and techniques.

What are some of the retirement-planning challenges and issues that professionals should consider? Seeking balance According to John Smith, a certified financial planner with Balasa Dinverno Foltz in Itasca, Ill., doctors and dentists, and others in similar professions, must strike a balance between protecting their assets from lawsuits and creating a tax-efficient portfolio. For instance, he said doctor and dentist typically put as much of their future retirement savings into a qualified retirement plan which is protected against lawsuits,” said Smith. “ However, the end result at retirement is often times a doctor or dentist having a disproportionate amount of net worth in retirement accounts, which are then taxed as ordinary income when withdrawn for spending needs. ”This, said Smith, often results in the professional being “trapped” in a very high marginal tax bracket during their retirement years and therefore result in excessive income taxes being owed without the flexibility to avoid this. “The ‘tax cost’ of this can be a very expensive trade off for what in their minds is a good way to protect their assets from lawsuits during their working years and the result is them then having to save a lot more for their retirement needs than would have otherwise been necessary had they been focused on what they ‘get to keep’ after taxes,” said Smith." }, { "docid": "D204277#0", "title": "http://smallbusiness.chron.com/role-advertising-agency-43272.html\nWhat Is the Role of an Advertising Agency?", "text": "Related Articles1The Role of a Full Service Advertising Agency2The Advantages of Using an Advertising Agency3What Do Ad Agencies Do?4What Are the Different Types of Advertising Agencies?

Mediation is a \"\"party-centered\"\" process in that it is focused primarily upon the needs, rights, and interests of the parties.

Historically, methods used to settle disputes have ranged from negotiation, to courtroom litigation, and even to physical combat. The legal needs of countries, multinational companies, and ordinary people have changed over the last decade. When faced with a dispute, business people are learning that, whenever possible, it is more advantageous to reach practical and private agreements than to fight for years and spend huge amounts of money in courtroom battles. Due to the vast amounts of time and money involved in the trial process, the American and Italian business communities have increasingly turned to legal alternatives that are more prompt, private and economical than the courtroom. Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) refers to the wide spectrum of legal avenues that use means other than trial to settle disputes. The main ADR alternatives to civil litigation are negotiation, arbitration, conciliation and mediation. Other, more particular ADR processes available are early neutral evaluation, mini-trial, summary jury trial, and the judicial settlement conference. Disputing parties use these ADR methods because they are expeditious, private, and generally much less expensive than a trial." }, { "docid": "D1596991#0", "title": "http://www.justanswer.com/law/0tyrb-age-child-legally-stay-home-alone-california.html\nAt what age can a child legally stay home alone in California?", "text": "At what age can a child legally stay home alone in California?

The key to successful resolution is figuring out when the time is right and then what to do in order to maximize the chances of a favorable settlement. The plaintiff's attorney has more control over this than you might expect. Sir Francis Bacon observed, \"\"A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.\"\" But many attorneys are programmed not to discuss settlement until they are in a formal mediation setting, and that is foolish. The following is an analysis of critical stages when maximum settlement can be achieved. A. Prior To The Filing of the Case. Claimants now have two years to file suit (unless the action involves a public entity or medical negligence).

It came out of their interest in post-modernism and social constructionism, in examining the making of meaning through the filter of language and the subjective interpretation of “facts”. While Narrative Therapy has become relatively mainstream in Family Therapy, Narrative Mediation is still a relatively new and unexplored phenomenon in the field of mediation. Narrative Mediation is being pioneered presently in Waikato Mediation Services in Hamilton, New Zealand, through the work of John Winslade, Gerald Monk, and Alison Cotter. Monk and Winslade have also taught counseling courses at the University of Waikato, at the School of Education’s Human Development and Counseling Program, where Winslade is at present a Senior Lecturer. At this time, Monk is the Director of the School Counseling Program at the College of Education at San Diego State University. Now, I would like to tell you a story about Narrative Mediation. “It is widely accepted that mediation is a storytelling process… telling one’s story in mediation serves simultaneously the ethical mandate, “participation”, as well as the pragmatic mandate to move “from story to settlement” (Harrington and Davis in Cobb 1994, 48). The story is at once its content, contained within the body of the story itself (the actual set of events) and its telling, or the complete discourse around the way the story is delivered (Cobb 1994, 50-51). In mediation, the conflict parties’ stories act like “theories of responsibility”, which construct the logical, causal linkages between actors, their actions, and outcomes (Cobb 1994, 52)." }, { "docid": "D3272426#0", "title": "https://www.mediate.com/articles/oReardonD3.cfm\nWhat Does âEmpowermentâ Look Like And How Can Mediators Facilitate It?", "text": "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15What Does “Empowerment” Look Like And How Can Mediators Facilitate It?by Donal O’Reardon January 2011Introduction: The literature on mediation and conflict resolution often talks about “empowerment”. A respected name in mediation like Bernard Mayer, for example, says “the essence of what the field of conflict resolution has to offer to disputants is an empowering approach to solving serious conflict”. [ 1] Similarly, the authors of The Promise of Mediation, a key text for the “transformative” model of mediation, see “empowerment” as one of two key features of a credible resolution method (the other being “recognition”). They describe an “empowerment shift” as a process in which “the party moves from weakness to greater strength”. [ 2] Many other authors and practitioners in the field would assent that “empowerment” is a vital aspect of dispute resolution. It is strange then, that there does not seem to be any agreed understanding of what “empowerment” exactly is. Indeed the literature on dispute resolution is often mute when it comes to articulating any conception of empowerment. I will have more to say about what I think empowerment is as we go along. To start out though, I think a helpful description is that empowerment is a key component of fulfilled human living. It is a state in which the person is at home with their identity and has cultivated a healthy relationship to the world and to their choices." }, { "docid": "D1208170#0", "title": "http://www.mediate.com/articles/jamesB1.cfm\nWhat is Divorce Mediation?", "text": "\"Divorce mediation is about you and your soon to be ex-spouse deciding your own divorce and what is best for the both of you and most importantly, your children.

A family law mediator is a neutral party specially trained to help couples resolve the issues in their divorce. The mediator facilitates the communication between the parties by making sure each party is given an uninterrupted time to speak, asking a party to restate or explain a point when necessary, and asking questions to make communication clear. The mediator also provides information about the legal system, how issues may be viewed by lawyers or judges, and what alternatives there are for solving issues.

Child custody mediation allows parents to maintain control over their decisions, and to feel positive about what happens to their children following separation or divorce. The more common or better known method of resolving custody disputes is known as litigation, which involves turning the decisions relating to custody over to the court for resolution. Litigation is typically stressful, expensive, and contentious. But the biggest problem with litigation is that a judge who is a stranger to the children makes binding decisions about custody and other extremely important issues in the children's lives. Most child custody professionals feel strongly that the components of typical litigation is often not in a child's best interests and does not result in the most meaningful custody plan for children or parents. How does Child Custody Mediation differ from a conventional litigated custody dispute? Child custody mediation differs from the more conventional litigated custody dispute in nearly every respect. Whereas in the litigation method that most people are perhaps more familiar with, each party retains an attorney to go to court to \"\"fight\"\" on their behalf in an effort to \"\"win\"\" custody of their children.

Expert Answers Nan Hayes is founder of Move Seniors.com, the national resource network of Certified Relocation and Transition Specialists for seniors, and President of Right Sized Living, a senior home transition service in Illinois. CNA 's should not give any medications to the patient , yet, if certified they can assist the patient in self administering the medication. Even when certified, the medication should be pre-measured and given to them by a nurse or doctor. This sounds like the situation you have described and is OK.

what does a medical clinical pathologist do?
[ { "docid": "D1222934#0", "title": "http://www.wisegeek.org/what-is-a-pathologist.htm\nWhat is a Pathologist?", "text": "A pathologist is a doctor who has specialized in pathology after receiving his or her medical degree. This specialization in the US usually means another three to four years of study and practice prior to becoming board certified. Pathology is, in essence, the study of blood, fluid, and tissue samples, which allow doctors to make diagnoses of various illnesses by looking for specific factors lacking or present in these samples. In medical care, this professional is a very valuable part of the medical team, since many diseases are diagnosed or ruled out by microscopic and lab analysis of fluid or tissue samples. There are several subspecialties in pathology that a person in this field might choose to enter. Some master all or at least several subspecialties so that work and career path can be more diverse. A distinction also must be made between anatomical and clinical pathologists. Most clinical pathologists oversee labs and the workers or automated equipment that perform tests on various bodily fluid or tissue samples. In contrast, the anatomical pathologist may practice in one or several of these subspecialties: surgical pathology, cytopathology, molecular pathology, or forensic pathology. Others may specialize in performing autopsies that can be a means of determining death." } ]

In one group of four codes, the descriptors have been changed to “non-drug.” Since CMS does not recognize the new codes, how should this be handled? Answer: For 2015, use the instructions in the Drug Testing section and Chemistry section of the 2014 CPT Manual and ignore the 2015 prefatory and parenthetical language, as well as the change in descriptors for CPT codes 82541, 82542, 82543, and 82544 that prohibit the use of CPT codes in the Chemistry section for testing for drugs.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------For the Week of March 30, 2015Question: My question is a follow-up to last week’s posting about the fact that CMS is not paying for the new drug-assay codes. How are labs supposed to bill for these since these new codes replace the 2014 codes that the AMA deleted? Answer: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) realizes that its decision not to pay the new codes means that there are not sufficient codes available to bill the tests for drugs of abuse, so it created alphanumeric G codes as replacements and instructed providers to use these “in the same manner in which they used the corresponding CPT codes for 2014.” The replacement G codes can be found on pages 2–4 in the 2015 CLFS final determinations at http://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Medicare-Fee-for-Service-Payment/Clinical Lab Fee Sched/Downloads/CY2015-CLFS-Codes-Final-Determinations.pdf.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------For the Week of March 23, 2015Question: When will CMS post the CLFS payments for the new drug-assay codes? Answer: There will be no Medicare payment for the 63 new 2015 drug-assay codes (80300–80377) in the foreseeable future. According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the reason is due to its “long-standing concerns about the potential for fraudulent and abusive billing of drugs tests. ”In its October 2014 announcement of this decision, CMS stated that it was concerned that “the structure of the new drug testing codes may not prevent abusive billing.”" }, { "docid": "D1903759#0", "title": "http://tobecomeateacher.org/how-to-become-a-school-speech-language-pathologist/\nIntroduction", "text": "Introduction Most speech-language pathologists (or speech therapists) work in schools, but they are rarely classified as a certified teacher unless they complete the appropriate process to obtain teaching credentials. Instead, speech-language pathologists are professionals who have been trained to work with children and adults who suffer from speech disorders. They are usually employed full- or part-time at one or more schools, and may work with students on an individual basis, or in groups. The goal is always the same for all speech teachers, to help students effectively communicate and speak more clearly. In most states, a master’s degree is the minimum educational requirement needed to become licensed as a speech pathologist. What does a speech-language pathologist do? Among other things, speech-language pathologists play an essential role in any school’s special education team. As part of the team, their first job is to test students for speech sound delays and disorders, language delays and disorders, and fluency disorders (such as stuttering). If it is discovered that a student has a disorder, a speech-language pathologist develops an Individual Education Plan (IEP), which details how the student is currently functioning in their classroom; the goals of a tailored speech therapy plan; and how many minutes per week the student will be seen. The primary function of school speech-language pathologists is to work with students on an individual basis to help improve their communication skills through interventions and exercises." }, { "docid": "D2928201#0", "title": "http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/post-mortem/things-to-know/forensic-pathologists.html\nForensic Pathologists: The Death Detectives", "text": "\"Home / Watch Online The Real CSI Second Chances Map: Death in America Things to Know Interviews0Tweet Forensic Pathologists: The Death Detectives They specialize in determining the causes of sudden, unexpected or violent deaths. But according to the National Academy of Sciences, the U. S. is facing a critical shortage of these professionals. When the National Academy of Sciences released its 2009 report on death investigation in America, it estimated that fewer than 500 physicians nationwide were practicing forensic pathology full-time -- not nearly enough, the blue ribbon panel suggested, to meet the country's health or criminal justice needs. With roughly 500,000 deaths per year referred to a coroner or medical examiner for preliminary investigation, the National Association of Medical Examiners says twice that number of forensic pathologists is needed to provide competent service and ensure that pathologists are not performing more than the 250 to 350 autopsies per year its guidelines recommend. What does a forensic pathologist do? According to the College of American Pathologists, forensic pathologists are experts in investigating and evaluating cases of sudden, unexpected, suspicious and violent death, as well as other specific classes of death defined by state laws. Most serve the public as a coroner or a medical examiner, or by performing autopsies for those officials. Others are in private practice, and may also work as contract pathologists on a fee-for-service basis. Why So Few?

Although I have sought and received advice from bona fide forensic pathologists in preparing this FAQ, all opinions (and errors) here are mine. Q. What is forensic pathology? A. Forensic pathology is the subspecialty of pathology that focuses on the medicolegal investigation of sudden or unexpected death. Q. OK, so what is pathology? A. Pathology is the medical specialty concerned with the diagnosis of diseases and injuries by examination of body tissues and fluids, typically in the laboratory setting. There are two main branches of pathology: Anatomic pathology involves the morphologic evaluation of tissues removed from living or dead individuals, using the unassisted senses (sight, touch, smell) and the microscope. The three main areas of anatomic pathology are autopsy pathology, surgical pathology, and cytopathology. Forensic pathology is concerned almost exclusively with autopsy pathology, or evaluation of the deceased. General pathologists, on the other hand, spend most of their time practicing surgical pathology and cytopathology, in which specimens removed from living patients are examined." }, { "docid": "D17695#0", "title": "http://www.insidejobs.com/articles/how-much-does-a-speech-pathologist-make\nHow Much Does a Speech Pathologist Make?", "text": "How Much Does a Speech Pathologist Make?

The Medical Science Liaison (MSL) is a specific role within the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device, CRO and other health-care industries. MSLs have advanced scientific training and academic credentials generally consisting of a doctorate degree (Ph. D., Pharm D., M. D.) in the life sciences. They concentrate on a specific Therapeutic Area (i.e. Oncology, Cardiology, CNS, Pulmonary, Hematology, Surgery, Women’s Health Care, etc) and disease state. Medical Science Liaisons are vital in the success of a company. They work throughout a product’s lifecycle, help to ensure that products are utilized effectively, serve as scientific peers and resources within the medical community, and are scientific experts to internal colleagues at companies. However, the primary purpose of the MSL role is to establish and maintain peer-peer relationships with leading physicians, referred to as Key Opinion Leaders (KOL’s), at major academic institutions and clinics. Medical Science Liaisons (MSLs) were first established by Upjohn Pharmaceuticals in 1967 as a response to the need for scientifically trained field staff that would be able to build rapport with Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) in various therapeutic areas of research. Although originally called Medical Science Liaisons by Upjohn, over the years and today, companies have used various names for the role including: Medical Liaisons, Medical Managers, Regional Scientific Managers, Clinical Liaisons, and Scientific Affairs Managers among others." } ]

I currently work as a medical science liaison (MSL) covering the Pacific Northwest region, a geography spanning from Bellingham, WA to San Jose, CA and to the eastern edge of Utah, but my path to this position has been anything but a straight line. I entered graduate school to study molecular plant pathology following a year spent working as a research technician at a University of Florida agricultural research center in Bradenton, FL. After some fits and starts in my graduate career, I ended up in a human genetics laboratory studying the genetics of breast and ovarian cancer. My Ph D research led to a postdoctoral fellowship in mouse models of gastrointestinal cancer at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC). I cannot say enough good things about the “Hutch” (as it is affectionately known). The research and the mentorship are of the highest caliber, as you might expect for an institution with its history of ground-breaking medical research. What you might not expect is that there is also a strong commitment to support its trainees in whatever direction their career might take them, even if that means outside of academia.

In the last few decades nursing has become a much-sought-after profession, as the pay is very good and jobs for nurses are steadily increasing, especially at the highly skilled level. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, for instance, Nurse Anesthetists, Nurse Midwives, and Nurse Practitioners – all types of advanced practice nurses – can expect job availability to grow at a rate of 31 percent between 2012 and 2022. This is much faster than average, and comes with an average salary of $96,460 per year or $46.37 per hour to boot. With such excellent stats on its side, advanced practice nursing is a great profession to enter, but it does require a master’s degree. If you already have a nursing background, you may be able to enroll in a program right away. If, however, you have a lower level of certification, it may take you a little more time to get there – but you can do it!This article will go over what an advanced practice nurse is and what they do, what the job industry looks like, and how you can get started in the field. While getting into a program, financing it, earning your degree and becoming certified may seem like a lot of steps, they are all crucial to becoming an advanced practice nurse and well worth it if this is the career of your dreams.

How we define online infidelity Posted Dec 09, 2014SHARETWEETEMAILMOREOnline infidelity, sometimes referred to as a cyberaffair, has typically been defined as an encounter initiated through online contact, and sustained by communication such as email or online chat (Young, 1999). Such a liaison, however brief may involve anything from discussing personal information with an online partner to cybersex. However, our judgements of unfaithful online behaviour may be determined more by the intimacy of a liaison. For example, sharing emotional and intimate information with another person online elicits higher ratings for judgements of infidelity than viewing pornographic material online (Whitty, 2003). This finding is in some ways unsurprising as we would probably be less likely to be upset at our partner looking at pictures of a famous film star than we would at them sharing secrets with a close friend of the opposite sex . So if exchanging personal information with a close friend online can be considered to be unfaithful behaviour, we then need to further analyse the significant components of such an exchange. What are the salient features of online infidelity? The Time of Day of the Interaction One component which may characterise unfaithful online liaisons is the time of day at which such liaisons take place.

[ 1] The belief is based on an interpretation of scripture that differs from that of other Christian denominations. [ 2] It is one of the doctrines for which Jehovah's Witnesses are best known. [ 3]Jehovah's Witnesses' literature teaches that their refusal of transfusions of whole blood or its four primary components—red cells, white cells, platelets and plasma—is a non-negotiable religious stand and that those who respect life as a gift from God do not try to sustain life by taking in blood, [4] [5] even in an emergency. [ 6] Witnesses are taught that the use of fractions such as albumin, immunoglobulins and hemophiliac preparations are \"\"not absolutely prohibited\"\", and are instead a matter of personal choice. [ 5]The doctrine was introduced in 1945, and has undergone some changes since then. Members of the group who voluntarily accept a transfusion and are not deemed repentant are regarded as having disassociated themselves from the group by abandoning its doctrines [7] [8] [9] and are subsequently shunned by members of the organization. [ 10] Although accepted by the majority of Jehovah's Witnesses, a minority does not endorse this doctrine.

Some financial writers even claim there’s simply no excuse for not belonging to a warehouse club if you live within driving distance to one. But there’s one obvious snag: Before you can fill up your cart with these bargains, you have to pay an annual fee of around $50 just to get in the door. Of course, this membership fee can pay for itself if the prices in the store are low enough – and if you buy enough for your annual savings to add up to $50 or more. But how can you tell whether the math works out in your favor?

Kline ( TMFDankline)Mar 17, 2017 at 2:35PMWhen a consumer pays $55 or $110 a year to join Costco ( NASDAQ: COST) he or she has to actually shop there to gain value from the membership. In most cases, once the new member spends a year actually doing that, he or she has saved enough money (or at least believes that to be the case) to make renewing an easy decision. Even when a customer does not actually take advantage of the membership, good intentions to do better next year can lead to a renewal as well. It's a loop that has benefited the fitness industry for as long as gym memberships have existed. If a consumer actually uses the gym, the monthly fee is money well spent. If he or she does not, the same underlying logic that caused the person to join in the first place (weight loss, a desire to get fit, heath concerns, etc.) keeps him or her from quitting. For the most part, you can't work out a gym where you are not a member and you can't save money shopping at Costco if you don't join. And yes, there are guest passes for gyms and backdoor ways to shop at the warehouse club. But in a broad sense, paying for membership strengthens the consumer's ties to the brand while the underlying value proposition either increases usage levels or produces guilt about leaving." } ]

You may improve this article, discuss the issue on the talk page, or create a new article, as appropriate. ( December 2010) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)A mental health professional is a health care practitioner or community services provider who offers services for the purpose of improving an individual's mental health or to treat mental disorders. This broad category was developed as a name for community personnel who worked in the new community mental health agencies begun in the 1970s to assist individuals moving from state hospitals, to prevent admissions, and to provide support in homes, jobs, education and community. These individuals (i.e., state office personnel, private sector personnel, and non-profit, now voluntary sector personnel) were the forefront brigade to develop the community programs, which today may be referred to by names such as supported housing, psychiatric rehabilitation, supported or transitional employment, sheltered workshops, supported education, daily living skills, affirmative industries, dual diagnosis treatment, individual and family psychoeducation, adult day care, foster care, family services and mental health counseling. The category seldom includes psychiatrists ( DO or MD) who remained institutional based and guarded the admissions procedures at institutionalization (both private and state specialty hospitals). However, in 2013, psychiatrists also are working in clinical fields with psychologists including in sociobehavioral, neurological, person-centered and clinical approaches (often office-based), and studies of the \"\"brain disease\"\" (which came from the community fields and community management and are taught at the MA to Ph D level in education). For example, Nat Raskin (at Northwestern University Medical School) who worked with the illustrious Carl Rogers, published on person-centered approaches and therapy in 2004.

The possibility that an individual possesses and exercises autonomy only within the context of social relationships is discussed, and the family dimensions of assisted suicide are presented. Key Words: physician-assisted, suicide, family, ethics Howard Brody, M. D., Ph. D., is Director, Center for Ethics and Humanities in the Life Sciences and Professor of Family Practice and Philosophy, Michigan State University, Lansing, Michigan 48824. Electronic Mail may be sent via Internet to 2992HOW@MSU. EDU. Introduction The publicity surrounding the activities of Dr. Jack Kevorkian since 1990 has brought physician-assisted suicide to the forefront as a medical-ethical issue in Michigan. Proponents of assisted suicide generally address the individual patient's right to be free of suffering and to exercise control over the circumstances of dying. Opponents commonly focus upon religious arguments against suicide and mercy killing; the \"\"slippery slope\"\" of feared societal consequences; and violations of physician integrity should physicians become involved in deliberately causing death. As the debate is thus framed, it is easy to assume that the family has no role, or merely a peripheral one." }, { "docid": "D552682#0", "title": "http://allnurses.com/general-nursing-discussion/nursing-medical-abbreviations-14070.html\nnursing/medical abbreviations", "text": "\"Latest Articles Products Conferences Nurses › General Nursing ›nursing/medical abbreviations WIN $150! 2018 Winter Nursing Article Contest Help select the $100 February Caption Contest winner.by nursekaren Views: 136,744 Comments: 12I have seen several questions regarding abbreviations that are nursing related, here are several I've seen, just thought I'd post them.

Mental health counseling is the evaluation, assessment, amelioration, treatment, modification or adjustment to a disability, problem, or disorder of behavior, character, development, emotion, personality or relationship by the use of verbal or behavioral methods. Practitioners, called mental health counselors , are trained in counseling and psychotherapy to treat individuals with mental and emotional disorders and other behavioral challenges. Mental health counselors address mental health, human relationship, education and career concerns within ethical, developmental, preventive and treatment contexts. Mental health counselors demonstrate a concern for the short-term and long-term well-being of individuals, couples, families, groups and organizations. Mental health counselors are dedicated to the optimal functioning of individuals, families and organizations. The mental health counselor uses standard mental health assessment and evaluation protocols, develops patient psychosocial histories, writes treatment plans, documents patient progress, facilitates consultation and referral with other providers, and implements discharge plans. What services do licensed mental health counselors provide? Mental health counselors use assessment instruments, provide mental health counseling and psychotherapy, clinical assessment and evaluation, treatment planning and case management, prevention, discharge, and aftercare services. After identifying and evaluating mental health problems and related human development challenges, mental health counselors employ effective methods of counseling and psychotherapy to treat individuals with conditions that may include mood disorders including depression, anxiety disorders, substance abuse, sexual dysfunction, eating disorders, personality disorders, dementia and adjustment disorders." }, { "docid": "D2245604#0", "title": "http://depts.washington.edu/bioethx/topics/pad.html\nPhysician Aid-in-Dying", "text": "\"What is physician aid-in-dying? Physician aid-in-dying (PAD) refers to a practice in which a physician provides a competent, terminally ill patient with a prescription for a lethal dose of medication, upon the patient's request, which the patient intends to use to end his or her own life. ( For related discussion, see also End of Life Issues . ) What role does language play in discussions of aid-in-dying? A variety of terms have historically been used to describe when a terminally ill patient uses a lethal dose of medication for the purpose of ending his or her life (or having control over the timing of death). Prior to the passage of the Oregon Death with Dignity Act in 1996, the term most often used was “physician-assisted suicide” (PAS). Those who use this term feel that it is an accurate reflection of the relationship between doctor and patient and refer to the etymological roots of suicide as “auto-killing” or “self-killing.” The use of this term ties the role of the physician to one that aids the patient in killing him or herself. However, implicit in the understanding of the word suicide is the notion of a premature death that is being hastened out of despair, therefore when mental illness impairs judgment, intervention to stop a suicide is ethically warranted because the person seeking suicide has lost his ability to carefully weigh the benefits and burdens of continued life. Generally speaking, persons who are suicidal are treated as though their decision-making capacity is compromised and health care providers often intervene and provide life-sustaining treatments (including involuntary psychiatric treatment) over the objections of the patient." }, { "docid": "D133233#0", "title": "https://www.anxiety.org/anxiety-doctors\nKnowing who is there to help with your anxiety", "text": "Knowing who is there to help with your anxiety If you or someone you know is suffering from anxiety, there are many different health professionals who can help.

Physician Assistant", "text": "Nurse Practitioner Vs. Physician Assistant Healthcare is a broad field with all kinds of opportunities at many different levels. As you move through your career you might find yourself wondering at some point where an advanced degree could take you. Nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs) hold an important place in the healthcare system. These advanced roles offer some of the best opportunities available for healthcare professionals looking to expand their scope of practice, enjoy greater autonomy, take on more responsibility, and, of course, earn a better salary. Sponsored School Featured Programs: Nursing@Simmons - Online Master of Science in Nursing (MSN)Georgetown University - Online Master of Science degree in Nursing Nursing@USC — Online Master of Science in Nursing Both NPs and PAs hold advanced degrees, and both usually provide direct patient care under the auspices of a physician, and in recent years, professionals in both roles have been gaining a greater level of independence as a growing number of states relax requirements for physician collaboration and oversight. This comes as a direct response to a growing physician shortage at a time when there are more demands being placed on the healthcare system than ever before. There’s no doubt that NPs and PAs are a big part of the solution. Both nurse practitioners and physician assistants routinely serve the primary and preventative care needs of diverse patient populations, and nowhere is this more true than in medically underserved rural and inner-city areas. It would be easy to argue that there are just as many similarities between NPs and PAs as there are differences, but there’s still plenty that sets them apart." }, { "docid": "D644259#0", "title": "https://medicalboard.georgia.gov/faqs\nFAQs", "text": "\"COMPLAINTS: Will I be told the status of my complaint?

Sections: What to Look for Where to start Young Children Cultural Considerations Seeking a diagnostic evaluation from a medical professional Seeking a free comprehensive special education evaluation for services at school What to look for Among all the dilemmas facing a parent of a child with emotional or behavioral problems, the first question — whether the child’s behavior is sufficiently different to require a comprehensive evaluation by professionals — may be the most troublesome of all. Even when a child exhibits negative behaviors, members of a family may not all agree on whether the behaviors are serious. For instance, children who have frequent temper outbursts or who destroy toys may appear to have a serious problem to some parents, while others see the same behavior as asserting independence or showing leadership skills. Every child faces emotional difficulties from time to time, as do adults. Feelings of sadness, loss, or emotional extremes are part of growing up. Conflicts between parents and children are also inevitable as children struggle from the “terrible twos” through adolescence to develop their own identities. These are normal changes in behavior due to growth and development. Such problems can be more common in times of change for the family, such as the death of a grandparent or family member, a new child, or a move. Generally, these kinds of problems tend to fade on their own or with limited visits to a counselor or other mental health professional as children adjust to the changes in their lives." }, { "docid": "D1464991#0", "title": "https://www.vdh.virginia.gov/omhhe/CLAS/culturally-appropriate-health-care/\n.", "text": "What is CLAS?

Buyers usually work closely with designers and their designated sales representatives and attend trade fairs, wholesale showrooms and fashion shows to observe trends. They may work for large department stores, chain stores or smaller boutiques. For smaller independent stores, a buyer may participate in sales as well as promotion, whereas in a major fashion store there may be different levels of seniority such as trainee buyers, assistant buyers, senior buyers and buying managers, and buying directors.

How Does Escrow Work?", "text": "What is Escrow? How Does Escrow Work? What is Escrow? An escrow is a financial arrangement where a third party holds and regulates payment of the funds required for two parties involved in a given transaction. It helps make transactions more secure by keeping the payment in a secure escrow account which is only released when all of the terms of an agreement are met as overseen by the escrow company. Escrows are very useful in the case of a transaction where a large amount money is involved and a certain number of obligations need to be fulfilled before a payment is released like in the case of a website being built where the buyer might want confirmation of the quality of work being done before making a full payment, and the seller doesn’t want to extend a massive amount of work without any assurance that he or she will receive payment. While traditional escrow service is quite difficult and must be obtained through banks and lawyers, Escrow.com provides online escrow services at affordable rates. While the payment is 'In Escrow' the transaction can be safely carried out without risk of losing money or merchandise due to fraud. This eliminates all legal jargon and allows for secure transactions and confident buyers and sellers.

Retail means selling to the public. It can be a storefront, office, or online business. The business might consist of a single person with no employees, or it might be a small company where several employees each take on multiple roles. Or, it might be a large store or chain of stores with multiple departments and specialized positions. Retail Job Responsibilities To some extent, your duties in a retail position depend on what you are selling. Retail staff must be familiar with both the products they sell and the needs of their customers.

In modern British usage it is the same as an investment bank. Merchant banks were the first modern banks and evolved from mediaeval merchants who traded in commodities, particularly cloth merchants. Historically, merchant banks' purpose was to facilitate and/or finance production and trade of commodities, hence the name \"\"merchant\"\". Few banks today restrict their activities to such a narrow scope. In modern usage in the United States, the term additionally has taken on a more narrow meaning, and refers to a financial institution providing capital to companies in the form of share ownership instead of loans.

Formally, the person who directly draws the funds (\"\"the payee\"\") instructs his or her bank to collect (i.e., debit) an amount directly from another's (\"\"the payer's\"\") bank account designated by the payer and pay those funds into a bank account designated by the payee. Before the payer's banker will allow the transaction to take place, the payer must have advised the bank that he or she has authorized the payee to directly draw the funds. It is also called pre-authorized debit (PAD) or pre-authorized payment (PAP). After the authorities are set up, the direct debit transactions are usually processed electronically. Direct debits are typically used for recurring payments, such as credit card and utility bills, where the payment amounts vary from one payment to another. However, when the authorization is in place, the circumstances in which the funds are drawn as well as the dates and amounts are a matter of agreement between the payee and payer, with which the bankers are not concerned. [ 2] In countries where setting up authorization is easy enough, direct debits can also be used for irregular payments, such as for mail order transactions or at a point of sale. The payer can cancel the authorization for a direct debit at any time, and the banker can decline to carry out a debit if the transaction would breach the terms of the bank account out of which payment is to be made, for example if it were to cause the account to overdraw. ( Banking law does not authorize a bank to alter the payment amount. ) A direct debit instruction differs from a direct deposit and standing order instruction, which are initiated by the payer." }, { "docid": "D2170411#0", "title": "http://www.ckfraud.org/\nCheck Fraud", "text": "Welcome to the NATIONAL CHECK FRAUD CENTERYour Complete Source for Assistance - Information - Alert Reports regarding Counterfeit Checks - Forgery - Check Fraud - Bank Fraud White Collar Crimes National Check Fraud Hotline843-571-2143OFFICE HOURS 8am to 6pm (Monday through Friday) Eastern Standard Time CLOSED SATURDAY and SUNDAYMISSION: The National Check Fraud Center, a private organization, provides nationwide, updated multi-source information and intelligence to support local law enforcement, federal agencies, financial and retail communities in the detection, investigation, and the prosecution of known check fraud and white collar crimes.

Spearheaded by Hardin Roads, a former successful wholesale grocer, the enterprising men invested capital of $100,000. This was the only time it was necessary to raise capital through outside sources. First Merchants Bank has survived panics, depressions, and wars to become the leading financial institution in East Central Indiana. There have been four homes for the main office of First Merchants Bank. The original bank was in a room at the northeast corner of Main and Mulberry streets, then known as the Little Block. Proof that the businessmen had been right in recognizing the need for banking services in Muncie was visibly demonstrated in 1904 when space requirements dictated a move to larger quarters across the street, to the northwest corner of the same intersection, in what was known as the Neely Block. Ten years later in 1914, the bank was established in its own \"\"new\"\" building at Jackson and Mulberry streets. This familiar Muncie landmark, with its impressive Corinthian columns, served for 58 years, undergoing two major renovations. The 1914 building fell to the wrecker's ball in August of 1972, as a new modern structure assumed the role of providing financial service to future generations of First Merchants Bank customers." }, { "docid": "D1047259#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_Payments\nAlternative payments", "text": "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Alternative Payments)navigation search [ hide]This article has multiple issues.

To say I’m diligent about checking my account, especially around paydays, is an understatement. And that vigilance has paid off, because this past weekend hackers walked away with roughly $1,800 from my account — and my bank did nothing to alert me or stop it. That sounds crazy, right? That somehow $1,800 would slip out of my account, under the radar from a financial institution that’s known to ring me when I buy subway passes from station vending machine.

This transformation of the United States made the country richer and more powerful than it had ever been before.

In short, the American farmer produced far too much for his own good. In the years following the Civil War, agricultural production levels skyrocketed. The opening up of the Great Plains to the plow, the use of farm machinery which allowed the individual farmer to grow more, new farming techniques, and the spreading of the railroads (which made areas remote from rivers agriculturally viable by reducing transportation costs) all led to the flooding of the American market with agricultural produce.

Update: I've had the debit card for about a year, and I've paid my bills, and I haven't spent much this week.4 following Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: This has always been a tricky scenario.. While it is true that banks have a limit, this limit applies to cash which can be drawn out from an ATM and not a purchase.. Trust me when I tell you the banking industry would receive so much flack if they capped a debit card amount every day.. They were the ones who wanted people to get away from writing checks and utilize the cards because the costs were lower for them.. Depending on the merchant company a restaurant uses, the merchant may create a soft authorization for an amount higher than your hard authorization (the true purchase).. This is done because people will commonly include tips or add items to the bill.. In the past, a waiter/waitress would go back open up the ticket and amend it.. This would cause the charge to be forced through (with the bank being required to pay even though funds may not be available).... Two other possibilities for you.. 1 - The merchant company in question who processes the card transactions for the restaurant has a glitch with their system which could be causing the card transaction to reject prematurely.. This happens a lot at certain gas stations... In this case, if you know you have the money, it would be advisable to process as a credit.. When they do this, a different algorithm processes the transaction and 99.99% of the time it is approved.. 2 - Some banks insist on a customer having a set amount of a reserve (or %) in your account, even though it is your money... This is common for some banks because of charge-off problems on accounts in the past.. When this happens, they must adjust policy to protect themselves (FDIC requirement)... Hope that helps..

At that time the merchants were merely financing their own activities. As international trade grew and other lesser- known names wanted to import goods from abroad, the established merchants ‗lent their names‘ to the newcomers by agreeing to accept bills of exchange on their behalf. The acceptance houses would charge a commission for this service and thus there grew up the business of accepting bills of finance trade not merely of themselves, but of others. Acceptance business thus became and to a degree always has been hallmark of true Merchant Banks. The second historical of Merchant Banks was the raising of capital for foreign Government. In many cases, the Merchant Banks have been trading in the countries concerned and gained the confidence of Governments and other authorities in those countries. Thus the second principal ingredient of Merchant Banking became and still is raising of capital through the issue of stocks and bonds. Therefore, Merchant Banks can be accepting houses or issuing houses or both. Merchant Banking started in the beginning of 20th century in UK and USA." }, { "docid": "D3262928#0", "title": "http://www.nytimes.com/1978/12/07/archives/for-nigeria-a-jumbo-loan-for-banks-its-a-jumbo-headache-optimism-in.html\nFor Nigeria, a Jumbo Loan", "text": "Archives | 1978For Nigeria, a Jumbo Loan By ROBERT D.

There's also market sentiment and the sensibilities of the borrower. ”This year's most controversial international finance deal, orie that — had things gone smoothly — should have raised $1 billion or more, has slipped into history, But the post‐mortems and recriminations are just beginning. Last Thursday, in a sumptuous, sixth‐floor hall at Dresdner Bank's headquarters in Frankfurt, representatives of 36 major banks sat around a circular table and signed a bulky document lending Nigetia $750 million for eight years. This marked the end of a tortuous process, begun in early summer and scarred by tactical errors, charges of misrepresentation, lawsuits, market misjudgments and arm‐twisting at the highest levels of government. The deal illustrates the subtleties of business politics and how big‐time finance so often becomes an exercise in global diplomacy. Most specifically, the ill‐starred financing reflects the clash of cultures when banks from 11 countries, mostly from the industrialized West, and Japan, put their resources at risk in underdeveloped lands." }, { "docid": "D2673551#0", "title": "http://svpvril.com/OACL.html\n.", "text": "\"Common Law is the Law of the People...

The acts sought to protect British merchants and creditors from being paid in depreciated colonial currency. The policy created tension between the colonies and Great Britain, and was cited as a grievance by colonists early in the American Revolution. Act of 1751The first act, the Currency Act of 1751 ( 24 Geo. II c. 53 ), restricted the emission of paper money by the colonies of New England. These colonies had issued paper fiat money known as \"\" bills of credit \"\" to help pay for military expenses during the French and Indian Wars. Because more paper money was issued than what was taxed out of circulation, the currency depreciated in relation to the British pound sterling. The resultantinflation was harmful to merchants in Great Britain, who were forced to accept the depreciated currency from colonists for payment of debts. The act limited the future emission of bills of credit to certain circumstances. It allowed the existing bills to be used as legal tender for public debts (i.e. paying taxes), but disallowed their use for private debts (e.g. for paying merchants).

The company began in offices off Cheapside and within a few years moved to larger quarters in Mincing Lane. [ 3] Barings gradually diversified from wool into many other commodities, providing financial services necessary for the rapid growth of international trade, including the lucrative slave trade which enriched the family and the business considerably and allowed for significant expansion of the bank's activities and prestige [1]. In 1774, Barings started business in the U. S. [4] By 1790, Barings had greatly expanded its resources, both through Francis' efforts in London and by association with leading Amsterdam bankers Hope & Co. (Hope) In 1793, the increased business necessitated a move to larger quarters in Devonshire Square. Francis and his family lived upstairs, above the offices.

Brazing is a method of joining two pieces of metal together with a third, molten filler metal. The joint area is heated above the melting point of the filler metal but below the melting point of the metals being joined; the molten filler metal flows into the gap between the other two metal pieces by capillary action and forms a strong metallurgical bond as it cools. Of all the methods available for metal joining, brazing may be the most versatile. Brazed joints have great tensile strength – they are often stronger than the two metals being bonded together. Brazed joints repel gas and liquid, withstand vibration and shock and are unaffected by normal changes in temperature. Because the metals to be joined are not themselves melted, they are not warped or otherwise distorted and retain their original metallurgical characteristics. Because brazed joints have a very clean, well-finished appearance, it is often the preferred bonding process for manufacturing plumbing fixtures, tools, heavy construction equipment and high-quality consumer products. The process is well-suited for joining dissimilar metals, which gives the assembly designer more material options. Complex assemblies can be manufactured in stages by using filler metals with progressively lower melting points." }, { "docid": "D1049988#0", "title": "http://www.welding-advisers.com/Welding-titanium.html\nWelding-titanium", "text": "\"Welding-titaniumand titanium alloys: SOLUTIONS with Effective, Powerful Advice Welding titanium: profitable niches Welding Problem?

In this type of microscope, there are ocular lenses in the binocular eyepieces and objective lenses in a rotating nosepiece closer to the specimen. Although sometimes found as monocular with one ocular lens, the compound binocular microscope is more commonly used today. The first light microscope dates back to 1595, when Zacharias Jansen created a compound microscope that used collapsing tubes and produced magnifications up to 9X. Microscopes have come a long way since then—today's strongest compound microscopes have magnifying powers of 1,000 to 2,000X. Because it contains its own light source in its base, a compound light microscope is also considered a bright field microscope. Bright field microscopy simply means that the specimen is lit from below and viewed from above. With bright field illumination, the sample’s contrast comes from its absorption of the light, as opposed to dark field illumination where the contrast comes from the sample scattering the light. Magnification In order to ascertain the total magnification when viewing an image with a compound light microscope, take the power of the objective lens which is at 4x, 10x or 40x and multiply it by the power of the eyepiece which is typically 10x. Therefore, a 10x eyepiece used with a 40X objective lens, will produce a magnification of 400X. The naked eye can now view the specimen at a magnification 400 times greater and so microscopic details are revealed. More on objective lenses here. Magnification is the ability to view an object as larger." }, { "docid": "D513558#0", "title": "https://networklessons.com/cisco/ccna-routing-switching-icnd1-100-105/recommended-lab-equipment-for-cisco-ccna/\nRecommended Lab equipment for Cisco CCNA", "text": "Table of Contents CCNA Routing & Switching ICND1 100-1051.0 Introduction What is Networking How to study (Cisco) Networking How to use Mindmapping Building a CCNA Lab2.0 Network Fundamentals3.0 LAN Switching Fundamentals4.0 IPv4 Routing Fundamentals5.0 IPv66.0 Network Services7.0 Network Management You are here: Home » Cisco » CCNA Routing & Switching ICND1 100-105Recommended Lab equipment for Cisco CCNAIf you are thinking about learning Cisco networking you’ll need to get practice on Cisco routers and switches.

In an ore, for instance, there may be present silica, iron, copper, arsenic, and sulphur, and it is the province of qualitative analysis to determine the presence or absence of these and other elements. It is obvious, however, that there still remains an unknown factor, namely, the quantity of each element present in any given substance. Having found that the ore contains the substances mentioned, the student is now asked how much silica, iron, copper, arsenic, and sulphur by weight are present in one gram or other convenient weight of the ore. It may be said, then, that the province of quantitative analysis lies in the determination of the quantities— either by weight or by volume—of the various elements present in a substance. This substance may be a solid, liquid, or a gas. Such an analysis may be either proximate or ultimate. For example, if one gram of salt be mixed with one gram of iron pyrites and the mixture be analysed, we may: Extract the salt with water and leave the iron pyrites as a residue.

For example, in developing an industrial robot, engineers specify the functional requirements precisely; design and test the robot's components; integrate the components to produce the final design; and evaluate the design's overall effectiveness, cost, reliability, and safety. This process applies to the development of many different products, such as chemicals, computers, powerplants, helicopters, and toys. In addition to their involvement in design and development, many engineers work in testing, production, or maintenance.

The specific procedure that is performed depends on the type of scar; its cause, location, and size; and the characteristics of the patient's skin. Purpose Scar revision surgery is performed to improve the appearance of the patient's face or other body part, but it is also done to restore or improve functioning when the formation of a scar interferes with the movement of muscles and joints. The shortening or tightening of the skin and underlying muscles that may accompany scar formation is known as contracture. Contractures may interfere with range of motion and other aspects of joint functioning, as well as deform the shape of the hand or other body part. Contractures in the face often affect the muscles that control facial expressions. Scar revision surgery may be considered as either a cosmetic procedure or a reconstructive surgery, depending on whether the patient's concern is primarily related to appearance or whether contractures have also affected functioning. Some insurance companies will cover the cost of scar revision surgery if the scarring resulted from injury. Patients who are considering scar revision surgery should consult their insurance carriers to learn whether their condition may be covered. According to the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS), the average cost for scar revision surgery on the face is $1,135, compared to $238 for microdermabrasion and $3,260 for laser skin resurfacing ." }, { "docid": "D2432172#0", "title": "https://www.ayaskincare.com/services/microdermabrasion-atlanta-ga/\nMicrodermabrasion", "text": "Microdermabrasion Performed at our Northside (Atlanta, GA), Avalon (Alpharetta, GA), & Phipps Plaza locations.

A Medium-depth Chemical Peel, also known as a TCA Peel, involves the application of a chemical exfoliant that causes controlled damage of the epidermis and part or all of the papillary dermis (top layer), which ignites regenerative changes and restores the skin’s tone and texture in just a single setting. The most common combination of agents in a Medium-depth Chemical Peels is trichloroacetic acid (TCA), for which it is named, plus Jessner’s solution (Dr. Max Jessner’s mix of salicylic acid, lactic acid, and rescorcinol), and glycolic acid. Because the strength of a peel determines the level of penetration, the nature of destruction, and the inflammatory response, a Medium-depth Chemical Peel causes moderate destruction and offers intermediate results when compared to a Superficial Peel or Vi Peel. Medium-depth Chemical Peels can be applied to the face, neck, and body and are highly effective in smoothing texture, improving superficial discoloration and mild photo-aging, eliminating fine wrinkles, and enhancing vitality of skin. There is moderate downtime associated with Medium-depth Chemical Peels, and they can be applied up to four times per year. WHO IS Medium Grade Chemical Peel FOR? Medium-depth Chemical Peels are ideal for those who want more dramatic results than a Superficial Peel can offer but wish to avoid the risk and recovery time associated with deeper peels.

Estrogens in oral contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy can also do this. So you have two problems: too many cells making brown pigment and light constantly stimulating them. The Quick List of What To Do Use the best quality sunscreen every morning – think zinc and SPF 30 or higher;Wear a wide-brim hat;Try bleaching creams from your dermatologist – you’ll need a prescription to get the stronger ones;Get a series of microdermabrasion or light peels, which, if done correctly, can help reduce the discoloration;If you can, change contraception or decrease your estrogen dose;Consider a fractional laser series if your budget permits What Is Melasma?

Like Microdermabrasion, Dermaplaning removes the top-most layer of facial skin, thus eliminating dead skin cells and minor surface imperfections. So how does Dermaplaning differ from Microdermabrasion treatments? How effective is Dermaplaning? Is Dermaplaning the right facial rejuvenation method for you? Read on to find out!More About Dermaplaning Dermaplaning treatments, a form of manual exfoliation, are typically performed by a dermatologist or a licensed aesthetician at a professional skin care clinic. Dermaplaning or epidermal leveling utilizes a sterile surgical blade called a dermatome. The dermatome is carefully stroked over the skin in even motions similar to shaving. Treatment time can be as short as 15-20 minutes. Blading the skin with a dermatome painlessly removes dry, dead surface skin to reveal new, healthy skin cells." }, { "docid": "D703056#0", "title": "http://www.skinabrasion.net/stretch-marks.html\nIs Micodermabrasion Effective On Stretch Marks?", "text": "Share Tweet Is Micodermabrasion Effective On Stretch Marks? I got the first stretch marks after I gave birth to my first son, but it was only after my second pregnancy that the stretch marks became much worse (and by worse I mean the number increased). I tried different topical treatments, including cocoa butter treatment, but they didn't make much of a difference. Two years ago I decided to try a full body microdermabrasion treatment (I'd already had the facial microderm treatment which worked well). How Does Microdermabrasion Get Rid Of Stretch Marks? Unlike other skin imperfections, stretch marks do not form on the skin's surface (called epidermis), even though that's where you see them. Stretch marks form in the skin layer directly underneath (called dermis). This is an important point to remember because while micro dermabrasion cannot reach that deep into the tissue, it does help. Stretch marks are, in fact, tens of fine silvery, long, fragmented scars that are sunken into the skin. Think of them as microscopic valleys found on your abdomen, thighs, breasts, arms and/or buttocks." }, { "docid": "D720838#0", "title": "http://www.skinabrasion.net/facial.html\nMicrodermabrasion Versus Facials", "text": "Share Tweet Microdermabrasion Versus Facials One time when I went with my friend Donna to the spa for her weekly massage, the receptionist asked me if I wanted to try their new microdermabrasion facial. I have had both microderm abrasion and facials in the past but never a microdermabrasion facial. As far as I knew, derm abrasion and facials were two different cosmetic procedures. Before continuing, you might want to read about the top home microdermabrasion kits reviewed and compared by myself and my friends (I really like home microderm systems because they are convenient to use and don't break the bank) or find out more about doctor-performed microdermabrasion. Micro dermabrasion is a mild exfoliation procedure, while a facial is a complex cosmetic treatment that includes soft peeling among other procedures. Unlike facials, which can be performed by trained cosmeticians only, in spas and beauty salons, micro derm abrasion can be done in doctors' offices, spas or even at home. Furthermore, the results of the two procedures are different: micro abrasion fights superficial skin imperfections, like scars, wrinkles, age spots, blemishes, enlarged pores and stretch marks, whereas facials clean, hydrate, and relax the skin. Even if they don't have dramatic results, facials are extremely popular, mostly because they include the latest cosmetic procedures (microdermabrasion, chemical peelings and oxygen masks) at low prices. Facials have yet another advantage: the procedure can be changed to suit specific patient needs. My local beauty salon, for example, offers facials for acne prone, dry, oily, sensitive, and mature skin." }, { "docid": "D131335#0", "title": "https://www.sharecare.com/health/microdermabrasion-treatment/what-does-microdermabrasion-do\nWhat does microdermabrasion do?", "text": "Dr. Doris Day, MDDermatology This is a treatment in which fine, inert crystals made of aluminum oxide crystals or salt crystals are applied with varying degrees of pressure to your skin to loosen the outer layer of dead cells. The cells are then vacuumed up using a suction device. The strength of the application and suction can be increased or decreased to achieve a more superficial or deeper effect. The result is an immediately smoother looking skin with fewer fine lines and a more even skin tone. The appearance of some types of acne scars will also be minimized. A series of five to seven treatments are required to provide the best results. I recommend one to two treatments per month for a series of four to six treatments followed by maintenance treatments at six to eight week intervals. The treatments can also be done to smooth the lines on the chest, to treat bumps on the arms called keratosis pillars, and to treat acne on the back or the buttocks.

Microdermabrasion is a very popular, modern, machine assisted gentle skin exfoliating treatment. Other names for this include “microderm”, dermabrasion, lunchtime peel, Vacubrasion, crystal-free peel, Parisian Peel, and Diamond Peel. Vacubrasion represents the future of home microdermabrasion and is a new patent pending microdermabrasion device introduce in 2012 to provide very economical, safe, and natural home skin care for every budget. While professional microdermabrasion machines costs upwards of $10,000 to $18,000, and other home microdermabrasion units range from $180-$350, Vacubrasion levels the playing field for everyone with the basic unit costing less than $50 and no monthly consumables. Microdermabrasion and Vacubrasion are fairly simple, easy, painless, non-invasive, skin rejuvenation procedures using a combination of a fine abrasive tip or crystals and vacuum suction applied to the skin. Typically there are no needles or anesthetics required for microdermabrasion. The vacuum pressure and speed are adjusted depending on the sensitivity and tolerance of the skin. Microdermabrasion is often compared to the feeling of a cat licking your face- a rough but gentle texture. Typical microdermabrasion sessions can last anywhere from 5-60 minutes." } ]

The oil and gas industry is usually divided into three major components: upstream, midstream and downstream. The midstream sector involves the transportation (by pipeline, rail, barge, oil tanker or truck), storage, and wholesale marketing of crude or refined petroleum products. Pipelines and other transport systems can be used to move crude oil from production sites to refineries and deliver the various refined products to downstream distributors. [ 1] [2] [3] Natural gas pipeline networks aggregate gas from natural gas purification plants and deliver it to downstream customers, such as local utilities. The midstream operations are often taken to include some elements of the upstream and downstream sectors. For example, the midstream sector may include natural gas processing plants that purify the raw natural gas as well as removing and producing elemental sulfur and natural gas liquids (NGL) as finished end-products.

Several general partners have gone public, allowing investors to participate in the upside of incentive distribution payments. Tax laws that restricted MLP ownership by mutual funds have been rolled back, increasing the pool of potential MLP investors. In the quest for growth, MLPs have paid ever-higher prices to acquire assets or other companies. But in the biggest change, several exploration and production (E&P) companies have gone public under the MLP umbrella, and many more have announced plans to do so.

Our Correspondent SAIDI MKABAKULI adeptly analyses the role of a regulator in natural gas activities that include processing, transportation, storage and distribution of natural gas in Mainland Tanzania. WHEN delivering a keynote address at the Second Oil and Gas Conference 2013, on \"\"Planning for Oil and Gas Industry for Rapid Socio-economic Development\"\" the former Executive Secretary of the President's Office, Planning Commission, who is currently Minister for Finance and Planning, Dr Philip Mpango said regulating of production as well as well as revenue flows from oil and gas is absolutely critical to enable Tanzania to establish or confirm independently the volume of natural gas reserves that the country has. Dr Mpango said the potential size of the natural gas resources in Tanzania and its expected multiple uses require a robust regulatory authority for regulating midstream and downstream natural gas activities that include processing, transportation, storage and distribution of natural gas in Mainland Tanzania. According to the Minister for Finance and Planning, the concept of robust regulatory is crucial for not only regulating infrastructures but also building the country's capacity for prospecting, writing and negotiation of contracts. \"\" This is absolutely critical to enable Tanzania to establish or confirm independently the volume of natural gas reserves that the country has and track and regulate production as well as revenue flows. Such information is needed not only for prudent contractual negotiation with foreign investors to ensure fair deals but also for proper planning of oil and gas extraction,\"\" Dr Mpango recounted. He went on saying that regulatory activity will require building up a pool of experts with specialized technical skills and outstanding knowledge in taxation of petroleum products; writing good contracts /negotiation of production sharing agreements and joint ventures; selecting, appraising and monitoring projects; environmental impact assessment (EIA), as well as pricing of oil and gas (geologists, accountants/auditors, economists, environmental experts etc.).

Because it is so complex and encompasses so much, it is divided into three distinct sections based on the steps from drilling to refinement. These three distinct subdivisions of the oil industry are: Upstream, Midstream, and Downstream. In this brief post we will touch on that first category, upstream. We will discuss what upstream is, why it matters, and what kinds of processes are undertaken in this portion of the oil refinement process. As you may have guessed from the categories mentioned above, upstream is the first chronological step in the oil industry. Thus, it is the upstream aspects of the oil process which occur first and must set a strong, early foundation for everything that will follow. Upstream can be broken into many components, but the main ones we’ll touch on are: searching out and selecting potential oil sites, evaluation of these sites, drilling exploratory wells, and operating these wells to extract crude oil. Searching for Potential Oil and Gas Fields The first step in the entire process is to search for suitable locations which might contain oil beneath the Earth’s surface. This is one of the most crucial aspects of the entire process because it provides the crude for the midstream and downstream divisions." }, { "docid": "D3338246#0", "title": "https://www.linkedin.com/pub/dir/michael/edmonds\nFind your connection on LinkedIn", "text": "Find your connection on Linked In Join the world's largest professional network Join now Sign in Michael Edmonds Melbourne, Australia Marketing and Advertising Current General Manager Marketing Aust/NZ at Asahi Premium Beverages Past General Manager Global Marketing at Meat and Livestock Australia, General Manager Sales & Marketing - Top Cut Foods at Simplot...

Choosing a health care provider to care for you and your baby during your pregnancy is one of the biggest decisions you'll make. In the United States, women's choices once were limited to an obstetrician or a knowledgeable family doctor. But now midwives are another alternative for women with low-risk, uncomplicated pregnancies. Is a midwife a good option for you? The History of Midwives The word \"\"midwife\"\" comes from Old English and means \"\"with woman.\"\" Midwives have helped women deliver babies since the beginning of history. References to midwives are found in ancient Hindu records, in Greek and Roman manuscripts, and even in the Bible. As early as 1560, Parisian midwives had to pass a licensing examination and abide by regulations to practice. Not all midwives had this level of education, however." } ]

Trying to decide who will deliver your baby? Make the right choice for you by answering our seven questions. Facebook Pinterest Email Kzenon/shutterstock Eight years ago when I had my first son, I initially met with an OB-GYN recommended to me by a friend. I adored him—as well as his partners: a dynamic team of certified nurse-midwives. After learning that midwives tend to spend a lot of time with patients, have relatively few patients who require Cesarean sections and also encourage medication-free deliveries, I decided to have a midwife from the practice deliver my baby.

As a midwife I found this quite shocking, not only because it’s completely untrue, but also because of the distressing insinuation that midwives might willingly put the lives of mothers and babies at risk so they could earn more! I wondered how wide-spread this belief was and sure enough when I did a Google search there were many website forum entries on the topic of what midwives get paid.

How Much Will My Baby Cost? If you have insurance, the consumer reporting website Cost Helper states that your baby's birth may cost between $500 and $3,000 in addition to out-of-pocket expenses. However, this amount will vary depending upon the level of coverage you have and whether or not there are any complications during the baby's delivery. Read your policy documents carefully and call a company representative to ask questions if you aren't sure what expenses will be covered. Without insurance, Cost Helper reports that a vaginal birth can run between $9,000 and $17,000. A caesarean birth can be between $14,000 and $25,000.

A midwife is a trained professional with special expertise in supporting women to maintain a healthy pregnancy birth, offering expert individualized care, education, counseling and support to a woman and her newborn throughout the childbearing cycle. A midwife works with each woman and her family to identify their unique physical, social and emotional needs. When the care required is outside the midwife's scope of practice or expertise, the woman is referred to other health care providers for additional consultation or care. The Midwives Alliance of North America, the North American Registry of Midwives, the Midwifery Education Accreditation Council and Citizens for Midwifery agreed on a short definition of what \"\"midwifery care\"\" means. However, just because a person is a midwife does not guarantee that they provide this kind of care; consumers looking for a midwife should ask questions to determine if a prospective caregiver will be able to provide the kind of care they seek. Back To Top The Midwives Model of Care The Midwives Model of Care is based on the fact that pregnancy and birth are normal life processes. The Midwives Model of Care includes: Monitoring the physical, psychological, and social well-being of the mother throughout the childbearing cycle Providing the mother with individualized education, counseling, and prenatal care, continuous hands-on assistance during labor and delivery, and postpartum support Minimizing technological interventions Identifying and referring women who require obstetrical attention The application of this woman-centered model of care has been proven to reduce the incidence of birth injury, trauma, and cesarean section.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONIn modern commercial aircraft, if not already available electronically, a flight crew makes flight plan entries and modifications through a Flight Management System—Control Display Unit (FMS-CDU). The FMS-CDU is an electronic module containing a keyboard on its lower face half and an electronic display on its upper face half. By keying entries into the keyboard, the flight crew can build or modify a route into the Flight Management Computer (FMC) by typing in a series of waypoints which are then displayed, in text form, on the upper half of the FMS-CDU display. An additionally provided display is a navigation (map) display. In contrast to the text display of the FMS-CDU, the navigation display graphically depicts the selected waypoints along a desired route. Thus, as the flight crew types entries into the FMS-CDU, these are then displayed graphically on the navigation display. Current FMCs provide for construction of a variety of flight plans, consisting of point-to-point leg segments and procedural maneuvers. In addition, conventional FMCs provide an autopilot mode where the aircraft automatically flies according to a predefined flight plan by providing lateral navigation (LNAV) and vertical navigation (VNAV) guidance so that the route can be flown. Most commercial airliners can be flown on a constant heading with the autopilot engaged." }, { "docid": "D1775114#0", "title": "https://www.amazon.com/Zig-Memory-Calligraphy-Markers-Multicolor/dp/B0050JKNFI\nZig MS34008V Memory System Calligraphy Markers, Multicolor, 8-Pack", "text": "\"Share 30+ Shares One-time purchase:$11.07Qty: Add to Cart Turn on 1-Click ordering for this browser Subscribe & Save:$11.09Other Sellers on Amazon Add to Cart$11.09& FREE Shipping on eligible orders.

The information outlined below aims to provide a simple, basic guide to assist you. Cemetery Regulations One of the most important things to consider in purchasing a grave marker is the cemetery regulations. Cemeteries regulate the headstones placed on graves within their grounds. Cemetery Rules and Regulations, as they are known, outline certain requirements such as size, material, and type of headstone. Before you order a headstone for your loved one, you should check the requirements of the cemetery where your loved one will be interred. They can, and are known to, refuse any headstone that does not meet their requirements. Check all their regulations carefully to make sure you know exactly what IS and ISN’T permitted before consulting a headstone supplier. Being that headstones, grave markers and monuments are often installed some time after the funeral and burial, to allow for any ground settlement, this does allow you to ensure you have time to consult with both the cemetery and your grave marker supplier, to have your headstone prepared. Note: Many reputable & established local masonry suppliers will be fully familiar with the requirements at their local cemeteries." }, { "docid": "D2779986#0", "title": "https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20060727052834AA5IxBK\nWhat is the purpose of the mile marker signs you see on the highway?", "text": "Travel United States Other - United States What is the purpose of the mile marker signs you see on the highway?those little green signs you see when your traveling on the side of the highway either go up or down depending on if you are traveling north or south. what are they used for?

Perhaps most famous for the fire lookout that is atop the peak and still manned during Summer months, Table Rock has long been a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Table Rock also has over 1000’ of prominence, which is more prominence than most peaks in the Blue Mountains range within Washington. \"\" Table Rock\"\" Is A Good Name... (Photo By Paul Klenke) From some locations near to and lower than Table Rock, the peak appears to have a conical-shaped summit area. In reality, the summit area is fairly large, flat, and rocky, allowing for “Table Rock” to be a fitting name. As the third-tallest peak in Columbia County, and the tallest peak within a ~12-mile radius, Table Rock is an ideal viewpoint from which to see into the Blue Mountains and surrounding areas. The views from the summit are so vast, in fact, that a fire lookout has been established there for many years and is one of the few fire lookouts in Washington still regularly staffed during every Summer. Vertical Upper Northwest Slopes Table Rock Summit Area The Table Rock Lookout was first constructed in 1929, and was a small D-6 cupola cabin that remained at the summit for 30 years. An L-4 cab lookout tower with a 10’ tall concrete base was contructed in 1949. That concrete base still remains today, although the upper lookout cabin underwent modifications in 1989." }, { "docid": "D2262791#0", "title": "http://www.paradise-found-in-maui.com/hana-highway.html\nHana Highway: Mile-by-Mile Guide", "text": "Hana Highway: Mile-by-Mile Guide Best Things to See and Do This page may contain compensated affiliate links.

Pacing Many speeding tickets result from the police officer following or \"\"pacing\"\" a suspected speeder and using his or her own speedometer to clock the suspect's speed. How Pacing Works With this technique, the officer must main tain a constant distance between the police vehicle and the suspect's car long enough to make a reasonably accurate estimate of its speed.

Speed enforcement using aircraft can actually be very efficient. It's usually done by state police or highway patrols. A fixed-wing or rotary-wing aircraft flies over a stretch of highway where speeding is common. An observer in the aircraft times the interval it takes cars on the highway to move between two points marked on the pavement. By a simple time-over-distance calculation, the average speed of the vehicle between those markers is determined. If the speed exceeds whatever threshold the enforcement officers have agreed on, the car's location, speed, direction of travel and description are communicated to ground units downrange of the speeder. When the car passes a ground unit (often staged on an on-ramp or out of sight on a side road), the ground unit makes the stop and issues the ticket." }, { "docid": "D3286724#0", "title": "https://www.cancertutor.com/war_cure_rates/\nChapter 4: Remission, cure rates and other deceptions", "text": "Return to Chapter Index Next Chapter Introduction This is the longest chapter in this book, and it is the most important.

Ober notes that \"\"determining who can use parcels of arable land and for what purpose, has immediate and obvious economic implications.\"\" [ 2]Many borders were drawn along invisible lines of latitude or longitude, which often created a need to mark these borders on the ground, as accurately as possible, using the technology of the day.

Acolyte comes from a Greek word for follower. Anglican Communion The Anglican Communion is a free association of national churches that are in communion with each other and with the Church of England, and in most cases are outgrowths of the Church of England. All of the bishops of the Anglican Communion meet every ten years at the invitation of the Archbishop of Canterbury; the meeting is called the Lambeth Conference, named after Lambeth Palace. In accordance with Canon 2 of the Second Ecumenical Council held in Constantinople in 381, which is binding on the Anglican Communion, the national churches, as well as their provinces and dioceses have geographical boundaries and therefore do not overlap. The Anglican Communion does not recognize more than one denomination of Anglicans in the same country, and two bishops cannot have overlapping dioceses. There is some confusion about the term “Anglican” in the USA, which is the reason for this entry. The only church body in the United States that is in the Anglican Communion is the Episcopal Church. Some congregations have broken away from the Episcopal Church for various reasons, some because they reject the 1979 revision of the Book of Common Prayer, some because they reject the ordination of women, and others because they reject the inclusion or ordination of gay people. They all put “Anglican” in their name, which correctly indicates their history, heritage, and worship." }, { "docid": "D2394330#0", "title": "http://www.academia.edu/4251979/LITURGICAL_ASPECTS_OF_WEDDING_CEREMONIES_IN_REFORMED_CHURCHES_OF_AFRICAN_ORIGIN\nLITURGICAL ASPECTS OF WEDDING CEREMONIES IN REFORMED CHURCHES OF AFRICAN ORIGIN", "text": "pdf LITURGICAL ASPECTS OF WEDDING CEREMONIES IN REFORMED CHURCHES OF AFRICAN ORIGIN24 Pages LITURGICAL ASPECTS OF WEDDING CEREMONIES IN REFORMED CHURCHES OF AFRICAN ORIGINUploaded by R.

The question arises: “How could the Reformed Churches of African origin arrive at a liturgy for marriage services that is Biblical and contextual?” Culture plays an essential role, nevertheless culture has to give shape to the liturgy and liturgy has to be allowed to transform and preach to culture. The two cannot be separated but have to work hand in hand for people to still feel African and at the same time Christian. Key words: Reformed Liturgy, African traditional wedding ceremony, Christian wedding ceremony 1. INTRODUCTION Marriages are said to be from heaven. Nevertheless they are not immune to various forms of earthly attrition that cause one in four of these unions to end in divorce within the short aftermath of three years (see Macleod 1966:78). In the solemnisation of the marriage, there are two impor- tant aspects: instruction in the meaning of Christian mar- riage, and the wedding ceremony as a service of worship before God. A wedding is not simply a perpetuation of cus- toms that are at the heart of the wedding ceremony, but for Christians it is an enactment of faith, a celebration of divine promise in the midst of a covenant community (State 1992:423). This emphasises the fact that the marriage ceremony is a worship ceremony." }, { "docid": "D569192#0", "title": "http://auburn.edu/~allenkc/ulcm/wed03.html\nTraditional Wedding Ceremony 3", "text": "\"Traditional Wedding Ceremony 3Presented by: Rev.

I have been on both ends of the wedding altar and I can tell you that it's much easier to deal with than you think and there is a smart way. Everyone is a bit unsure of what is proper mostly because wedding ministers as a whole have historically dealt with rituals and preparedness in situations and most folks do not want to cross the line. But remember that wedding professionals deal with this issue on a daily basis and so they understand your uncomfortableness and they have seen it quite a bit. To them, it is part of the work day. Do I tip? Definitely, yes. How much? It depends, but it is not unusual to double a fee. How? There is a good time to pay the gratuity when you pay the balance of your officiant fee. Why? Because t.i.p. stands for to insure proper service. Your marriage officiant is still holding your marriage license when you part ways (they are required usually to file it themselves). Where? At the signing. How do you pay and tip with class? It is not so difficult after all. Tipping anyone should be done with joy and gratitude. Consider the following wedding information. Most officiants charge from $275 to $900 for a wedding ceremony. It all depends on your wedding ceremony location, what things you feel you need from your wedding minister and how busy they are. The busier the wedding minister, the more expensive they will generally be. Most wedding vendors will ask for a deposit in advance and the remainder to be paid on the day of the wedding. Do remember to make a prompt deposit as wedding professionals do get calls and emails constantly. A typical wedding professional gets anywhere from 10 to 100 requests a day. That is a lot time requests to be juggling. Frankly, the first person to commit by putting down a deposit is the one who wins that time slot. We recommend that you send the officiant you have chosen the deposit by check or by credit card immediately so that you do have a hold on their time and also so that there is a paper trail. However, in my experience, the balance should be paid by cash. When you pay the balance it is usually more embarrassing for people since it is in person and there is no \"\"right moment\"\". But there is. The best thing to do is to bring an envelope with each wedding vendor name on it and put the remainder in cash in the envelope. If you are in a large wedding, hand these to your best man or the father of the bride (which makes him feel more important) and tell them to distribute the money for you. Do make sure to pay by the balance you owe your wedding minister in cash or your license may not be filed in time for the check to clear. Even worse, if you are traveling after your wedding and your check bounces, you may find that you are not married by the time you return from your honeymoon. A wedding officiant is required to file your marriage license within a certain amount of time with the county, usually 10 days. If they are paid by check and it bounces while you are in Tahiti then you may have a bit of a problem as that wedding clergy does not know if you will be paying on your bad check. The best time to pay is at the signing of the marriage license. There is always a shuffling of papers from each person and when the wedding officiant signs it you can easily hand the envelope over with a \"\"Thank you!\"\" And do not forget the minister gratuity. You can include that in the envelope as well. What is the proper tip for an officiant? $75 - $150 is the proper officiant gratuity and if that seems to be too much to you, consider this: your wedding officiant is probably the least paid of most of the wedding professionals present at your wedding and yet you need that one person at your wedding ceremony more than anyone else there, or else. . . you would not be married. Yes, you do not need to tip a wedding official but think of it this way: it's good karma and a good way to start your marriage with a positive vibe from the one person who joined you as husband and wife. { Credit to Mile High Ministries for this Blog }\"", "text": "\"Gratuity for Wedding Officiants?

These have been prepared with the help of authorities on Irish constitutional and European law, and you can take it that the facts they give on the Treaty and its consequences are accurate. Lisbon’s proposal to give the Big States from 50-100% more voting power in making EU laws, while halving Ireland’s voting power to 0.8%, would be economically disastrous for us in face of the economic crisis, as Brussels, Frankfurt and the Big EU States insist on savage cut-backs being imposed on the Irish economy. Summary of 13 things the Lisbon Treaty would do The Lisbon Treaty …1. Would be a power-grab by the Big States for control of the EU by basing EU law-making post-Lisbon primarily on population size. This would double Germany’s voting power in making European laws from its present 8% to 17%, increase Britain’s, France’s and Italy’s from 8% to 12% each, and halve Ireland’s vote to 0.8%. How does having 0.8% of a vote in making EU laws put Ireland “at the heart of Europe” ? Taoiseach Brian Cowen’s “guarantees” do not explain how having half as much influence in the EU as Ireland has today would induce the other Member States to listen to our concerns on unemployment and help to resolve the economic crisis in the interest of Irish companies, workers and farmers.2. Would copperfasten the Laval and related judgements of the EU Court of Justice, which put the competition rules of the EU market above the rights of Trade Unions to enforce pay standards higher than the minimum wage for migrant workers. At the same time Lisbon would give the EU full control of immigration policy (Art.79 TFEU).3." }, { "docid": "D1065439#0", "title": "https://www.cathdal.org/The_Catholic_Church_and_Marriage\nThe Catholic Church and Marriage", "text": "\"The Catholic Church and Marriage Marriage is an intimate community of life and love, established by the Creator and endowed by Him with its own proper laws.

The ring is not necessary in their culture to have a wedding, it's just an \"\"Americanization.\"\" \"\" Until the mid-1960s, Japanese parents arranged marriages for their children through trusted intermediaries. The ceremony was consummated, according to Shinto law, by the bride and groom drinking rice wine from the same wooden bowl. There was no tradition of romance, courtship, seduction, or prenuptial love in Japan; and none that required the gift of a diamond engagement ring. Even the fact that millions of American soldiers had been assigned to military duty in Japan for a decade had not created any substantial Japanese interest in giving diamonds as a token of love." }, { "docid": "D3060485#0", "title": "http://www.theradianttouch.com/Ceremony-Styles.html\nRadiant Touch Weddings...ceremony styles", "text": "\"Traditional Contemporary 1 Contemporary 2 Family Friendly Spiritual Outdoors Blended Ceremony Spiritual Ceremony Elopement 1 Elopement 2Traditional Ceremony (religious) (Songs, poem reading, candle lighting may be added during ceremony)Being assured of your love for each other, and that you have your family's blessing, I ask who presents __________ for marriage to _________________?________________, we are here to celebrate your marriage.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that my understanding was turned completely upside down. I’ve always thought that wearing a wedding ring was a sign of the commitment you are making to your spouse and to your marriage. Not to pretend that it all depends on you – because it’s about a relationship and a vocation, and about God’s blessing on that relationship. But to see the wearing of the ring as a constant sign of your own re-dedication and re-commitment to this relationship, and to make this continuing acknowledgement of your marital commitment public by wearing a ring. The ring becomes, as it were, a public profession of your marriage and what it continues to mean to you. This is why in those films (cf. Bruce Willis in the first scene of Unbreakable ), when a husband meets a stranger on a train and starts plotting how he might hook up with her, he quietly slips his wedding ring off and puts it in his pocket. But I heard the words of the wedding rite as if for the first time, and this is absolutely not what the wearing of the ring signifies.

The twin issues of divorce and remarriage are extremely common today, and many people, including many Catholics, find themselves confused and unsure about what God and the Church require from them in this area. This uncertainty has various causes, such as failure to seek answers from the competent authorities in the Church (e.g., canon lawyers) out of a lack of realization that they should do so (i.e., the result of poor catechesis), or because they were given erroneous information by well-meaning but ignorant fellow Catholics, or even because they are simply afraid of discovering what the Church’s answer to their situation might be and prefer instead to live in an “ignorance is bliss” cloud of unknowing. There are other reasons why many divorced Catholics don’t really understand what the Church requires, but the three just mentioned seem to me to be among the more common ones. To help clarify these issues, I asked two canon lawyers, Jacqueline Rapp, JD, JCL, and Pete Vere, JCL, to write an article for Envoy Magazine that would cut through the ambiguity and confusion and answer the more common questions Catholics have about divorce and remarriage. Their article, “Do I Need an Annulment?” appeared several years ago in Envoy’s 6.2 issue, and I post it here as a service to all who may be wondering about that very issue, whether for themselves or for someone they care about. As a Judge and a Defender of the Bond within our respective dioceses’ Catholic marriage Tribunal, we encounter misunderstandings every day about the declaration of nullity (or annulment) process. Often, the people who come into our offices question the need for an annulment before approaching a new marriage." }, { "docid": "D2971689#0", "title": "http://www.preacherbiography.info/charles-spurgeon/\nCharles Spurgeon Exposed", "text": "Charles Spurgeon Exposed Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892), preacher, came of a family of Dutch origin which sought refuge in England during the persecution of the Duke of Alva.

PETER THE FIRST POPEBiography Charles Haddon, elder son of John Spurgeon, by his wife, the youngest sister of Charles Parker Jarvis of Colchester, was born at Kelvedon, Essex, in England on 19 June 1834. His early childhood was spent with his grandfather, James Spurgeon, but in 1841 he was sent to a school at Colchester conducted by Henry Lewis. In 1848 he spent a few months at an agricultural college at Maidstone. In the following year he became usher in a school at Newmarkert. His employer was a baptist, and although Spurgeon had been reared an independent, and converted in a primitive Methodist chapel, he was baptised and formally joined the baptist community at Isleham on 3 May 1850. In the same year he obtained a place in a school at Cambridge, recently founded by a former teacher and friend, Henry Leeding. There he became an active member of a baptist congregation, and while a boy of sixteen, dressed in a jacket and turndown collar, preached his first sermon in a cottage at Teversham, near Cambridge." } ]

It was used as a form of identification, rank, genealogy, tribal history, eligibility to marry, marks of beauty and much more. Both men and women could be marked with ta moko, which were different in shapes and meanings. Male Moko The tattoos on a male face were divided into eight fields, each of them had its own name and contained information about the wearer. The face was divided into equal halves. In general, designs on the right-hand side of the male face marked the father’s tribal membership, rank and position. On the left-hand side of the face contained information about the mother’s rank and position. These are the eight fields of the male face moko: Ngakaipikirau: This area was above the centre of the eyebrows and composed of two triangular areas on the forehead. It indicated the direct lines of descent from the Gods and of individual rank.___Ngunga: This division identified position or status in life passed through the first or the second line of descent. The central lines on the chin hold signs of those who taught their knowledge.___Uirere: Situated on the centre of the face, including eyes and nose." } ]

' He was absolutely desperate and so were we'Moko - the art of tattoo - has always been part of the Maori world in New Zealand. It is about beauty, and belonging. And it is much more than skin deep. When the first European explorers came into the Pacific, they were stunned by the patterning they saw on the faces and bodies of the island peoples, from Rapanui in the east, to Hawaii in the north, the westward islands of Samoa and Tonga and in the temperate south of Aotearoa - the Maori word for New Zealand. Their languages, myths, values were similar. Tatu, or tatau, was the word used for the adornment of the skin by pricking or cutting and then applying colour. The 18th Century mariners carried the word and the tattoo itself to the northern hemisphere.

More generally, kasbah denotes the walled citadel of many North African cities and towns. The word made its way into English from French in the late 19th century (the Oxford English Dictionary says 1895), hence its conventional English spelling. Etymologically rooted to Khaybar, an ancient city in present-day Saudi Arabia where the local Jewish population was famous for holding out against Mohammed's conversion of the area. Khaybar was famous for its fortress and in ancient Hebrew means \"\"fortress\"\". Khaybar then became the generator for the name Khyber Pass connoting toughness and a fortress-like environment.

These are the Advantages of getting a tribal tattoo: There's a lot of black ink in tribal tattoos, which has the advantage that it holds up well, black tattoo ink doesn't fade as fast as other colors. Tribal tattoo designs are extremely popular, so as long as you don't want a specific or traditional tribal, you shouldn't have a hard time finding a reputable tattoo artist that can design your custom tattoo. It's easier to design your own tattoo or at least a mockup of your own tribal than it is with other tattoo designs. Tribal tattoos have a bold visual appeal: their thick, black curving lines and interlocking patterns lend themselves well to many of the standard tattoo locations, such as the upper arm (in the form of a tribal armband, for example), the back or the lower back. Disadvantages of tribal tattoos: Tattoo removal is not working very good on those large patches of black ink. Covering them up with another tattoo ain't working either. Finding a tattoo artist or tattoo parlor is not easy when you want a traditional design of a specific tribe. When you're getting a tattoo that is an imitation of a traditional tribal design, keep in mind that you might be insulting the original tribe members.

Well, they don't really have hands. They have front legs with appendages that look like hands. Still, you have to hand it to mole crickets. They are the only insect capable of shaking your hand. Mole crickets were imported here on trading ships, so they have no natural predators in the USA environment. However, some parasites are very effective in limiting mole cricket populations. The sphecid wasp and larra wasp are parasitoids which lay eggs on mole crickets. The larval wasps eat the crickets, greatly reducing their numbers. The wasps are not aggressive as adults." } ]

However, taxonomists disagree as to where in the taxonomic hierarchy this group belongs and how it should be subdivided. For example, Vickery and Kevan ( 1985) put crickets in the suborder Gryllodea of the order Grylloptera, whereas we along with many others put them in the superfamily Grylloidea of the suborder Ensifera, order Orthoptera. In our scheme, the initial subdivisions are families, and we recognize only two: Gryllotalpidae, the mole crickets, and Gryllidae, all other crickets.

Of the seven North American species of moles – insectivores related to bats and shrews – four are found west of the Rockies. Thirty species of shrews – surviving on insects such as butterflies, wasps and crickets -- live throughout the country. The strictist of vegetarians, voles are found in nearly every part of the United States. With sleuthing and some careful observation, you can learn to tell these three apart.1Inspect your yard and garden for signs of infestation from these three creatures. Although you are not likely to see moles, they leave tell-tale volcano-shaped mounds 2 to 24 inches tall at the entrance to their burrows, and tunnel tracks beneath your yard and garden. Shrews typically live in tunnels dug by moles and other mammals – you will need other ways to recognize them. Voles are best identified by the small trails they create leading from one burrow entrance to another.2Familiarize yourself with typical sizes. Moles are the largest of the bunch, averaging 7 inches from tip to the end of a 1-inch hairless tail. Shrews are some of the smallest mammals in the world: mouse-sized and averaging just under 4 inches, excluding a 1-inch tail." }, { "docid": "D1376096#0", "title": "http://www.amentsoc.org/insects/fact-files/orders/orthoptera.html\nGrasshoppers and Crickets (Order: Orthoptera)", "text": "\"You are: Home > Insects > Insect fact files > Insect groups > Grasshoppers and Crickets (Order: Orthoptera)Grasshoppers and Crickets (Order: Orthoptera)Locusts (like this solitary-phase Schistocerca gregaria) are perhaps the most well-known of the grasshoppers and crickets. Photograph by Christiaan Kooyman. One of the commonest questions asked about grasshoppers and crickets is how to tell them apart. There are a number of ways to tell if you're looking at a grasshopper or cricket: The main difference between a grasshopper and a cricket is that crickets tend to have long antennae, grasshoppers have short antennae. Crickets stridulate (\"\"sing\"\") by rubbing their wings together, while grasshoppers stridulate by rubbing their long hind legs against their wings. Grasshoppers detect sound by means of little 'ears' at the base of their abdomen; in crickets these are on the front legs. Most crickets are crepuscular (which means they come out at dusk) whereas grasshoppers tend to be out and about during the day. Grasshoppers mostly eat grass, but crickets are partial to animal matter aswell. Grasshoppers have short antennae in comparison to crickets.

Even though the mole cricket nymphs are wingless, they look like adults. The mole cricket nymphs can cause considerable damage to grass and lawns during the summer months when it is warm. Thoroughly treat the targeted area with a granulated systemic insecticide such as Imidacloprid .5 Granules. Imidacloprid is a systemic insecticide, reaching into the soil to kill the nymphs that cause the damage. An alternative treatment would be using Bifen XTS as a liquid treatment. The Imidacloprid .5 Granules will last 3-6 months and the Bifen XTS will last 30 days. Mole Cricket Treatment-Timing - Important for Control Mole crickets treatment should be timed to kill immature crickets (nymphs), which do the most damage to turf grasses.

Mole crickets are cylindrical-bodied insects about 3–5 centimetres (1.2–2.0 in) long as adults, with small eyes and shovel-like forelimbs highly developed for burrowing. They are present in many parts of the world and where they have arrived in new regions, may become agricultural pests. Mole crickets have three life stages, eggs, nymphs, and adults. Most of their life in these stages is spent underground, but adults have wings and disperse in the breeding season. They vary in their diet; some species are vegetarian, mainly feeding on roots, others are omnivores, including worms and grubs in their diet, while a few are largely predatory. Male mole crickets have an exceptionally loud song; they sing from a subsurface burrow that opens out into the air in the shape of an exponential horn. The song is an almost pure tone, modulated into chirps. It is used to attract females, either for mating, or for indicating favourable habitats for them to lay their eggs.

Yes, you can, but very few people do. Mononucleosis is usually caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Symptoms usually include fever, swollen and painful tonsils, and enlarged lymph nodes. Fatigue and low energy can last for weeks or months. More than 90% of us eventually catch EBV, usually during adolescence or early adulthood. In many people, the illness is mild, and may never be diagnosed as mono. Infection by EBV generally results in lifelong immunity—you can only have EBV mono once. There’s also a less common form of mononucleosis, caused by infection by cytomegalovirus (CMV). In one study of people with mono, about one out of seven had mono caused by CMV; the rest had typical EBV mononucleosis." }, { "docid": "D2010490#0", "title": "http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/liver-tests-for-infectious-mononucleosis\nTests and Treatments for Mono", "text": "\"Tests and Treatments for Mono Articles On Mononucleosis What Is Mononucleosis?

It is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) or the cytomegalovirus (CMV). It is typically transmitted through saliva or blood, often through kissing, or or by sharing a drinking glass, an eating utensil or a needle. The virus is also found in the mucus of the infected person, so it is also easily spread through coughing or sneezing. It is estimated that 95% of adults in the world have been infected with the Epstein-Barr virus at some point in their lives. The virus infects B cells (B-lymphocytes), producing a reactive lymphocytosis and the atypical T cells (T-lymphocytes) which give the disease its name.mono symptoms A person can be infected with the virus for weeks or months before any signs, symptoms, of mono begin to appear. Mono symptoms usually begin to appear 4-7 weeks after infection. The first signs of mono can easily be confused with cold and flu symptoms.

The main test for mononucleosis is known as the monospot test but also goes by mononucleosis spot test, mononuclear heterophile test, and the heterophile antibody test. This test looks for the antibodies that are produced by your body when you have mono. Monospot Testing The monospot test is a fairly simple procedure that requires your doctor to take a small sample of your blood. This blood is then placed on a slide and combined with a specific solution. If you have monos, then your blood will start to clump when it is exposed to the solution. This test can effectively identify infectious mononucleosis two to nine weeks after you are infected. Other Tests Along with the monospot test, your doctor may also order a complete blood count test and possibly check your liver enzymes. A complete blood count (CBC) will tell your doctor whether your white blood cell count is up (signifying an infection) and if your reactive lymphocyte levels are normal.

Two years ago i had sex with my best friend, i know exactly who he has had sex with in the past which was only one other person than myself. I dont think i ever displayed any symptoms of the virus, the only thing i do remember is losing my voice a couple weeks after, my throat didnt hurt so i attributed it to the extreme stress i was under at the time. But for some reason two years later I am worried about this, so i started to think about things and one thing that i thought about was that i have been diagnoses with mono twice, but never really showed symptoms either time the fist time i got tested because my boyfriend had it so i got tested and had it but really no symptoms, then the second time i got a normal cbc done and my lymphocytes were up so they tested me for mono and it was positive again.

We assume that there is some way to determine the appropriate dose before initiation of treatment; however, usually the only definitive answer is, \"\"Whatever ends up working the best. \"\" The primary issues related to dosing are (1) individual variation and (2) the discrepancy between the best dose for minimizing side effects and the best dose for treatment response. Drug companies tend to focus on the former at the expense of the latter. Individual variation includes not only differences among people in terms of such issues as absorption and metabolism, but also variations among the disorders themselves. For example, does everyone we diagnose with major depression have the same disorder? Probably not. Everybody is different.

This omission reflects the reality that mainstream print media’s portrayal of bipolar disorder mostly focuses upon the cycling of elevated and/or depressed moods which are the hallmark features of the disorder. What we typically read are descriptions of mood elevation that reflect symptoms of high energy, lessened need for sleep, feelings of euphoria, grandiosity, impulsivity, elevated libido, etc. Similarly, on the depressed end of the mood spectrum, we read descriptions of low energy, low self-esteem, feelings of sadness, loss or emptiness, suicidal ideation, pervasive pessimism, low motivation, and all the other experiences we associate with feeling depressed. Mood typically receives the bulk of our attention when it comes to descriptions and discussion of bipolar disorder; however, in my sessions with individuals living with the disorder, it’s common to hear concerns about their lessened cognitive capacities. To be more specific, I’m referring to the experience of decreased cognitive capacity relative to the period of time before any sustained bipolar mood symptoms arrived on the scene. Examples of the kinds of deficits reported are difficulties with linguistic working memory (word retrieval), difficulties with planning, prioritizing and organizing of behavior (executive functioning), problems with retention of what’s been read or listened to, as well as the experience of mildly dulled or slowed thought processes. For some with bipolar disorder, it’s like they’ve experienced a gradual decline of brain power from their previous baseline level of function. Before I scare many readers, the key word in the preceding sentence is “some.” The research literature poses a wide range of figures pertaining to cognitive deficit in bipolar disorder, with studies showing incidence rates between 15% on the low end and 60 % on the high end." }, { "docid": "D2512528#0", "title": "http://healthquestions.medhelp.org/topamax-how-long-does-it-take-to-work\nTopamax how long does it take to work", "text": "\"Topamax how long does it take to work Common Questions and Answers about Topamax how long does it take to worktopamax Does anyone take this?

Bipolar disorder Definition Bipolar disorder, formerly known as manic depression, is a mood disorder that causes radicalemotional changes and mood swings, from manic, restless highs to depressive, listless lows. Mostbipolar individuals experience alternating episodes of mania and depression. Description Bipolar disorder is characterized by alternating manic episodes in which the individual feelsabnormally euphoric, optimistic, and energetic and depressive periods in which the individual feelssad, hopeless, guilty, and sometimes suicidal. Manic or depressive periods may last for days,weeks, or months and run the spectrum from mild to severe. These episodes may be separated by periods of emotional stability in which the individual functions normally. Bipolar I disorder is characterized by at least one manic episode without a major depressiveepisode. Manic episodes are the \"\"high\"\" of the manic-depressive cycle. A person experiencing a manic episode often has feelings of self-importance, elation, talkativeness, increased sociability,and a desire to embark on goal-oriented activities, coupled with the characteristics of irritability,impatience, impulsiveness, hyperactivity, and a decreased need for sleep.

The first stage is the time when toddlers test out their boundaries and are beginning to develop a sense of independence. The next time is most likely to be just before puberty when hormonal changes are often associated with mood changes. After the stubbornness of the “terrible twos”, young children are not usually moody or irritable for long periods. If they are, there is often an explanation for their moodiness. For example, being tired, hungry or thirsty can make a child moody. At times your child may experience a sudden change in mood or display an unexpected change in behaviour. In typical children, these changes are mild and not troubling. A child may turn sad because of something he or she has just read or experienced.

Mood stabilizers are medicines used in the treatment of bipolar disorder, where a person’s mood changes from a depressed feeling to a high “manic” feeling, or vice versa. These drugs can help reduce mood swings and prevent manic and depressive episodes. Mood stabilizers can take up to several weeks to reach their full effect. Because of this, other psychiatric medications such as antipsychotics are often used in the early stages of treatment. Antipsychotics and antidepressants may also be used in combination with mood stabilizers as longer-term treatments for bipolar disorder. Medication is generally considered to be the cornerstone of treatment for bipolar disorder; however, combining medication with other therapy and support can help you to get and stay well. Forms of talk therapy that have been shown to help with bipolar disorder are interpersonal and social rhythm therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy and family-focused education about bipolar disorder.

Unfortunately recently in the past two years they caused severe manic episodes. ( I have never been diagnosed bipolar until these 2 episodes occurred). Since then I have not been able to use SSRIs to treat my depression. Doctors are also cautious of me using Wellbutrin since I was taking this before I became manic with lexapro. They recently put me on abilify which seemed to help the depression, however the restless leg syndrome has been incredibly disturbing so they are switching me over to lamictal. My concern is that this drug is used for mania but not depression and anxiety. My doctors seem more concerned about the mania than the depression, but the depression is incredibly hard to deal with and I never get manic unless I am taking medication." }, { "docid": "D585674#0", "title": "http://www.webmd.com/bipolar-disorder/guide/medications-bipolar-disorder?page=3\nMedications for Bipolar Disorder", "text": "\"Medications for Bipolar Disorder In this Article Which Bipolar Medicine Is Best?

An anticonvulsant launched in this country a year ago February (but used in the pediatric epilepsy population since 1990 in Europe), seems to hold a lot of these cards upon early examination, but much is still left to be seen. It is called oxcarbazepine and is marketed in this country by Novartis under the brand name, Trileptal. Actually, Trileptal is an analogue of Tegretol (carbamazepine). An analogue is structurally similar to another compound, but differs slightly in its composition (such as replacing one atom by another atom of a different element). Someone in the Ciba-Geigy labs in Switzerland, played around with the carbamazepine compound and added one oxygen molecule to the top of the middle structure. What a difference an oxygen atom can make: Whereas carbamazepine oxidizes in the body into an active metabolite called 10,11 epoxide, oxcarbazepine rapidly converts in the body to 10-monohydroxide derivative (MHD).chemical structure and metabolism of oxcarbazepine vs. carbamazepine Carbamazepine (Tegretol) is an effective mood stabilizer for bipolar disorder, but it seems that the 10/11 epoxide metabolite is responsible for some of the major problems that can occur with the drug. As we write in The Bipolar Child, “because Tegretol activates certain enzymes in the liver, and this causes the drug itself and many others to be metabolized faster, the serum Tegretol level may drop somewhat after the first month of treatment, requiring increased doses based on blood levels.” Therefore, blood levels are needed more frequently in the beginning of treatment and every three months or so afterward. “ ( Anecdotally, we have heard of many instances when blood levels have dropped–particularly in young children–multiple times with successive increases in dose due to this enzyme induction. )" }, { "docid": "D1550287#0", "title": "http://www.bipolar-lives.com/medication-for-bipolar-depression.html\nMedication for bipolar depression", "text": "It is critical to understand medication for bipolar depression.

The following are a few examples of the meanings of tattoos that have a universal symbolism for wearers, artists and admirers. Maori Tattoos Tatuagem Kirituhi Maori Tattoo The Maori, the native tribe of New Zealand, are known for their distinctive facial tattoos. The tattoos are not restricted to the face, but usually take up a part or even all of the face. The deep grooves and patterns of Ta Moko, the name the Maori give the process of making the tattoos, are a storytelling device. People from the tribe who wear these tattoos are retelling the history of their family. In fact, the tribe considers people that are not Maori, but copy and wear the tattoos, phonies who are performing a form identity theft. If a person wishes to wear tattoos in the style of the Maori, they should seek out an artist who is familiar with the original patterns." }, { "docid": "D3281174#0", "title": "https://www.pinterest.com/pin/413346072037374576/\nExplore Interesting Words, Amazing Words, and more!", "text": "\"Explore Interesting Words, Amazing Words, and more!Lovers Lakes Beautiful words Definitions Language Rare words English Interesting words Unique words Random Pretty words Interesting Words Amazing Words Beautiful Words Pretty Words Rare Words Weird Words Powerful Words Wanderlust Unique Words Lets talk random fetishes for a moment.

This exquisite has used flowers, celestial bodies, animals and other objects to create new designs over the period of time. One of the most famous among the animal tattoo designs are the wolf tattoos, which have been used by human beings not only as a form of adornment, but also as a way of expressing their personal belief and attitude. Wolves have been occupying an important place in the history of human race. Basically an animal which prefers to live in a pack, the wolf is a freedom seeker too, who is equally content when it gets to live by itself. The character traits of loyalty and intelligence make the wolf a much appreciated animal and likeable enough to be considered fit for a place in tattoo art. Table of Contents [ show]Symbolic Meanings of Wolf Tattoos Wolves are liked with tribal cultures like those of the Native Indian and Native American clans, where they were used as totem symbols to signify the inner personality of people. The totem symbol was given to only those who were worthy and deserving enough on account of their physical and intellectual strength. The tribe gave the wolf symbol to such young men at the time they made a transition into puberty. Symbolically, the wolf is associated with a number of positive traits such as power, freedom, protection, strength, generosity and intelligence." }, { "docid": "D3520202#0", "title": "http://tattooswin.com/octopus-tattoos-meaning/\nOctopus Tattoos and Their Deceptive Meanings", "text": "Octopus Tattoos and Their Deceptive Meanings Facebook Twitter Pinterest Gmail One of the reasons the octopus tattoo is such a popular design for many people is because the beautiful possibilities are endless. The attributes that are associated with the octopus are both diverse and interesting to say the least, making this aquatic creature, similar to the pisces tattoos , a popular choice for those looking to connect certain meanings or a time in their life to their tattoo. The varied qualities of this secretive sea creature is part of the allure and symbolism associated with getting this type tattoo. The Meaning of the Octopus Tattoo The mystery surrounding the octopus makes it a prime candidate for a huge diverse interpretation into each and every design. The octopus is a master of deception, can easily escape attack, and has the ability to destroy predators three times its size. These attributes are qualities many people love to associate to their tattoo, and because the octopus comes in a huge array of sizes, shapes, and colors, the possibilities of creating a unique tattoo are endless. Depending on the individual octopus tattoo, it can symbolize insight, variability, illusion, intelligence, mystery, diversity, complexity, and enhanced vision. These qualities in this beautiful sea creature appeal to a wide audience, and allow the tattoo artist to broaden the scope when it comes to design elements and coloring. Choosing Your Unique Attribute The allure of the octopus tattoo is in that every design has a one-of-a-kind meaning to that person. The same large octopus that is inked on the back with the tentacles wrapping around the shoulders, waist, and arms, could mean mystery for one person and power for another, just like jellyfish tattoos." }, { "docid": "D2499213#0", "title": "http://www.tattoomenow.com/tattoo-designs/sun-tattoos/sun-moon-tattoos/\nSun and Moon Tattoos | Tons of Ideas & Designs", "text": "Sun and Moon Tattoos | Tons of Ideas & Designs Great Sun and Moon Tattoos As with all tattoos, sun and moon tattoos can be used for the beauty of body art.

This numerical system was used exclusively in Western Europe until the adaptation and development of the current Hindu-Arabic originated system. So why are Roman numeral tattoos so popular? Well, for a lot of reasons. For one, in most cases they look a lot better than numbers. They also have a bit more of a mysterious look to them than traditional numbers, which can add a bit more meaning to a tattoo. Someone might want to get a Roman numeral tattoo because it’s very personal to them and they don’t want the meaning to be obvious to others. The Roman system relies on the adding of letters, each assigned a value, in order to create larger numerals. In reality, you can use Roman numerals to represent any type of number, such as a date or a time that is important to you. Some people will even use Roman numerals to represent letters and will “spell” out a quote or a person’s name with the symbols. Interestingly, because of the development of Roman numerals out of ancient necessities such as trade and mercantilism, there is no symbol for ‘0’." }, { "docid": "D410179#0", "title": "https://www.pinterest.com/pin/27514247696956814/\nExplore Dragonfly Tatoos and more!", "text": "\"Pinterest Explore Dragonfly Tatoos and more!Celtic knots Dragonflies Tattoo Tattoo patterns Tatting Tatoos Tatoo Piercings Hennas Patterns Symbols Dragonfly Tatoos Dragonfly Tattoo Design Dragonfly Symbolism Tribal Tattoo Designs Dragonfly Jewelry Dragonfly Art Design Tattoos Celtic Knot Tattoo Celtic Tattoo For Women Irish Celtic knot dragonfly would look nice between shoulders or along collarbone See more Dragonfly Tattoo Design Dragonfly Art Tattoo Designs Tattoo Ideas Tattoo Celtic Tattoo Drawings Tattoo Art Dragonflies Hummingbird Tattoo If you are a WWE fan, it is obvious that you like Dwayne Johnson, popularly known as The Rock.

They have been universally popular for a long time as they can signify a number of things. Although arrows were originally invented to be used for the purpose of hunting and combative purposes, gradually with time they were used for other reasons as well, such as pointing towards directions. Arrows were even introduced in many forms of pictorial or hieroglyphic languages. Arrows were considered as important symbols in the Native American culture as well. Nowadays they are frequently chosen as popular tattoo symbols. The meaning that is meant to be conveyed by a chosen arrow tattoo mostly depends on its wearer. Arrow tattoos can be worn as a sign of protection and defense. A broken arrow tattoo can symbolize peace. Arrow tattoos can be worn on any part of the body, although most people prefer wearing them at the back or at the upper head areas." } ]

The moose is one of the most ancient and unique of power animals, and lends you sacred and unique energy. An adult male can grow up to 7 feet tall and weigh up to 1200lbs. When mating males vociferate loudly and can be heard up to 6 miles and more away. When a female answers their call, they will rush to her and are ready to combat ANYTHING in their paths. Moose’ are fearless and resolute, making their presence known when they decide. However they also have the preternatural ability to camouflage themselves in spite of their hugeness and strength – they are able to move through their territory totally unseen. These traits in the moose teach us the power of presence and invisibility.

Do they fit your personality?", "text": "25-07-2014 / Tattoo Ideas We`ll be honest. Butterfly tattoos have become so shopworn that unless you can find a tattoo artist to create a unique tattoo in his own style, then your butterfly tattoo is not going to impress anybody apart from its noble symbolism. Moth tattoos are an exception and the Tattoobox team are especially fond of them. It is a tattoo that fits both men and women. Why a moth tattoo? Being a symbol of the soul and its transforming course, butterflies captivate us reminding us our need to constantly evolve to something better and more beautiful. Their relatives, the moths add to that symbolism, a veil of dark mystery and seductiveness that resembles our dark subconscious and its struggle during its spiritual journey to the light. Moth finds its way following the moonlight and in its absence, man`s artificial lights. Her persistence to follow the light trusting her instincts and ignoring or defying danger, makes it so spontaneous and determined as vulnerable at the same time. Something that reminds us our need to “listen” our deeper instincts, our intuition, even having our dreams as guides in the dark hours of our lives that nothing is as we saw it bathed in daylight." }, { "docid": "D394782#0", "title": "https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-meaning-behind-the-double-triangle-symbol\nWhat is the meaning behind the double triangle symbol?", "text": "Quora User Answered Sep 11, 2016 · Author has 770 answers and 886.8k answer views Originally Answered: What does a double triangle tattoo mean? The Triangle Tattoo The triangle symbol is a simple one, but is also one with a great amount of meaning behind it. Due to the fact that triangles contain three corners and three sides they are often linked to different trinities. The most common being that of the Christian faith, the holy trinity- father, son and Holy Ghost. The triangle can also symbolize the stages of the moon- waxing, waning and full. Other trinities include: mind, body & spirit; mother, father & child; past, present & future; mother, maiden & crone; thought, feeling & emotion and creation, preservation and destruction. Another Christian symbol incorporating triangles of that of the “Eye of Providence” or the all-seeing eye. This is depicted as an eye inside a triangle and is often surrounded by rays of light. In Celtic culture the triangle is featured in the form of the triquetra, triskelion as well as other trinity based knot work. Greeks believe the triangle to be symbolic of a doorway." }, { "docid": "D2323439#0", "title": "http://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/the-white-moth/\nThe White Moth", "text": "Sacrificing Veterans Health Care on the Altar of Privatization Is Dianne Feinstein Too Tame for Left-Surging Jungle Primary?‘Orbán or Turbans’: Hungary’s Wild Election The American Mind is as Closed as Ever John Kelly, Presidential Babysitter Our Lazy, Decadent, Clickbait-Addled Media Industry Neal Freeman’s National Review Donald Trump is Samson, Blinded by Ring of Delilahs Trump’s Rush to Judgment on Syria Chemical Attack Fixing Western Democracy Must Start With Its Universal Values Sacrificing Veterans Health Care on the Altar of Privatization Is Dianne Feinstein Too Tame for Left-Surging Jungle Primary?‘Orbán or Turbans’: Hungary’s Wild Election The American Mind is as Closed as Ever John Kelly, Presidential Babysitter Our Lazy, Decadent, Clickbait-Addled Media Industry Neal Freeman’s National Review Donald Trump is Samson, Blinded by Ring of Delilahs Rod Dreher E-mail Rod Follow @roddreher The White Moth By Rod Dreher • June 7, 2013, 7:08 PMTweet I’ve just this afternoon arrived back home in south Louisiana from 10 days in the Netherlands and Belgium. It’s time to eat some fresh tomatoes and then go to bed. But first, I want to tell you a story. As regular readers know, I went to Holland to visit my old and dear friend M., who is fighting a tough, tough battle against cancer, which is in her liver, her brain, and her bones. I visted M. for a couple of days after I arrived, and then headed to the south of the country with her sister, to visit other friends. M. is in very good spirits, but has to take care with her energy. Houseguests can be a drain, so we worked out in advance which days we would see each other. I would double back to Amsterdam towards the end of my trip, stay in an apartment in the city she secured for me, and spend a long morning with her alone. The last stop I made before heading back to Amsterdam was to toddle down to Brussels to visit my Louisiana-born friend K. and her husband. Over dinner at K.’s place, we talked about folk superstitions." }, { "docid": "D1089736#0", "title": "http://www.symbolic-meanings.com/2008/04/09/symbolic-meaning-of-the-moth/\nSymbolic Meaning of the Moth", "text": "Dream Symbolism, Insect Totems, Misc.

It took me a few days to really jive with this amazing creature, but once allowed access, I was given some incredible insights. These (intense) thoughts can be seen here on my symbolic meaning of moth page. Here are some other observations: Moths are nocturnal, and much of their symbolism deals with: Intuition Psychic perception Heightened awareness Indeed, many people who are spiritual practitioners (particularly of an esoteric ilk) attract the moth as their animal totems. As if being a night-dweller weren’t enough, the moths are babes of the moon . They follow the mother moon as a source of light, and this connects them with some powerful moon associations such as: Knowledge of the Otherworld Second sight Influence Prophesy Clarity However, as I mentioned in my in-depth page on moth symbolism here, those of us who fly high with the moth must be mindful to not be too carried away by her influence. Moon creatures such as moths ask us to have a firm foundation before lunar journeying. The moth expresses some tender vulnerabilities, which I’ve mentioned here. We may take this as a message to be open to our heightened spiritual experiences yet allow for adjustment and protection too." }, { "docid": "D307775#0", "title": "http://scalar.usc.edu/works/chid490animalmourning/dragonfly-and-butterfly\nInterconnectivity: Animals Mourning Together in Modern Stories and Mythology", "text": "\"Introduction: This section of my research is focused on the spiritual and mythological significance of dragonflies and butterflies. I have included short myths and folklore as well as poems and quotes related to the spirituality of dragonflies and butterflies and photos. Mythologies referencing the dragonfly and butterfly, for example from Japanese, Chinese, Native American, Greek, Egyptian and European mythology and folklore as well as in religious beliefs, explore the symbolisms and human to nonhuman relationships within the context of death and spirituality. I chose to research mythology in particular because of the range of topics mythology encompasses. By presenting the human and nonhuman spiritual relationships that existed in stories from around the world, and have remained throughout the changes in discourse, demonstrates that these relationship and connections are important to recognize and revisit. As humans continue to study and learn more about nonhuman animals and the ways in which they are different from humans, I think it is important to share the ways in which we are the same. I hope by presenting the presence of human-nonhuman connection through historical stories, which still is present in modern stories, the animal experience and animal emotion, especially during mourning and grieving, will allow for more connectedness with all animals. In my research, I was intrigued to find the similarities and differences of symbolism and significance of dragonflies and butterflies in different cultures and different times. The similarities and connections of symbolism shows how the dragonfly and butterfly relationship with humans has been an everlasting one, as butterflies and dragonflies are one of the oldest known surviving creatures to exist in our world. “The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious." }, { "docid": "D688228#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/What_does_the_tear_drop_tattoo_mean_if_its_on_your_hand\nWhat does a tear drop tattoo symbolize?", "text": "Jjk jjk 8 Contributions What does a tear drop tattoo symbolize?

In some construction contracts, where a particular defect has been rectified within the DLP, a new DLP for that item will start from the time of the repair and continue for the same period as the original DLP. This means that for some items of work the DLP may continue to run until the item exhibits no further post-repair defect, even though the DLP has expired for the remainder of theworks. In some service or supply contracts, the DLP may commence from the date of commissioning of the plant and equipment or may be replaced entirely by a specific warranty (usually a service warranty from the manufacturer). The DLP is a contractual mechanism and does not remove or change the statutory limitation periods for breach of contract unless there is a specific exclusion. Right to common law damages As a defect is a breach of contract it would normally give rise to a common law right to damages. A number of cases have considered whether the presence of a contractual mechanism for dealing with defects (ie a DLP) negates or varies the common law right to damages.

Power factor, or ? PF? for short, is the ratio of the real power to the apparent power. Real power is the capacity of the circuit for performing work in a particular time and is measured in Watts. Apparent power is the product of the voltage and current (V x A) of the circuit and is measured in volt-amperage (or ? VA?.) I know that it almost sounds as if Watts and VA are the same thing, and in DC they are (240W DC is equal to 240VA DC, for example) but because energy stored in the load of a device using alternating current (AC) is returned to the source, or due to a non-linear load that distorts the wave shape of the current drawn from the source, the apparent power can actually be greater than the real power. This would give you a power factor of less than 1. Power factor below .70 is generally considered poor power factor." }, { "docid": "D2494518#0", "title": "http://cwatlanta.cbslocal.com/2013/03/20/interview-with-the-cast-of-rectify-at-the-atlanta-film-festival/\nInterview with the Cast of âRectifyâ at the Atlanta Film Festival", "text": "Atlanta Film Festival “Rectify” Marquee (Photo Courtesy Mike Mc Kinney)On Saturday, the Atlanta Film Festival presented a preview of the new Sundance Channel series “Rectify.” The series is about Daniel Holden (Aden Young) a man who has spent 19 years on Death Row for the rape and murder of his teenage girlfriend.

However, the methods people use to measure battery voltage varies significantly and as a result, so do their answers.

A meter is any device built to accurately detect and display an electrical quantity in a form readable by a human being. Usually this \"\"readable form\"\" is visual: motion of a pointer on a scale, a series of lights arranged to form a \"\"bargraph,\"\" or some sort of display composed of numerical figures. In the analysis and testing of circuits, there are meters designed to accurately measure the basic quantities of voltage, current, and resistance. There are many other types of meters as well, but this chapter primarily covers the design and operation of the basic three. Most modern meters are \"\"digital\"\" in design, meaning that their readable display is in the form of numerical digits. Older designs of meters are mechanical in nature, using some kind of pointer device to show quantity of measurement.

Tutorial How to use a Multimeter / Using Multimeters What do multimeters measures? A meter is a measuring instrument. An ammeter measures current, a voltmeter measures the potential difference (voltage) between two points, and an ohmmeter measures resistance. A multimeter combines these functions, and possibly some additional ones as well, into a single instrument. Before going in to detail about multimeters, it is important for you to have a clear idea of how meters are connected into circuits. Diagrams A and B below show a circuit before and after connecting an ammeter: A Bto measure current, the circuit must be broken to allow the ammeter to be connected in seriesammeters must have a LOW resistance Think about the changes you would have to make to a practical circuit in order to include the ammeter. To start with, you need to break the circuit so that the ammeter can be connected in series. All the current flowing in the circuit must pass through the ammeter. Meters are not supposed to alter the behaviour of the circuit, or at least not significantly, and it follows that an ammeter must have a very LOW resistance." }, { "docid": "D2383019#0", "title": "http://www.wikihow.com/Measure-Capacitance\nHow to Measure Capacitance", "text": "\"Edit Article How to Measure Capacitance Capacitance is the measure of how much electrical energy is stored in an object, such as a capacitor used in an electronic circuit. The unit for measuring capacitance is the farad (F), defined as 1 coulomb (C) of electric charge per volt (V) of potential difference. In practice, the farad is such a large unit that capacitance is usually measured in smaller units such as the microfarad, 1 millionth of a farad; or the nanofarad, 1 billionth of a farad. While accurate measurement requires expensive tools, you can get a rough idea from a digital multimeter. Steps1 Choose your tool. Even cheap digital multimeters often have a capacitance setting \"\"–| (–.\"\" These are good enough for basic troubleshooting, but are not typically accurate enough to rely on precise measurements.

I assume that whoever reads this book has at least a passing interest in actually working with electricity, and as such the topic of safety is of paramount importance. Those authors, editors, and publishers who fail to incorporate this subject into their introductory texts are depriving the reader of life-saving information. As an instructor of industrial electronics, I spend a full week with my students reviewing the theoretical and practical aspects of electrical safety. The same textbooks I found lacking in technical clarity I also found lacking in coverage of electrical safety, hence the creation of this chapter. Its placement after the first two chapters is intentional: in order for the concepts of electrical safety to make the most sense, some foundational knowledge of electricity is necessary. Another benefit of including a detailed lesson on electrical safety is the practical context it sets for basic concepts of voltage, current, resistance, and circuit design. The more relevant a technical topic can be made, the more likely a student will be to pay attention and comprehend.

Calibration and troubleshooting are two very different requirements. Calibration maintains product quality; troubleshooting affects product quantity. Calibration happens on a schedule; troubleshooting happens in emergencies. Calibration must be precise; troubleshooting must be fast. When a production line is down, speed is of the essence. The failed component must be isolated and replaced ASAP.

Overview The NI 4070 Digital Multimeter makes resistance (ohms) measurements using a constant-current technique. A current (amps) is supplied to the resistance (ohms) under test, and the digital multimeter measures the resulting voltage as represented in the figure below: With a known current (amps) and voltage, the digital multimeter can determine resistance using Ohm's Law, as follows: V M = I s R T where R T is the sum of all resistances, R T = R x + R LEAD + R LEADTherefore, the value of R x = V M /I s if R LEAD is small or negligible compared to R x The NI 4070 Digital Multimeter generates a highly-stable current (amps) source, I s. The table below lists the value of this current (amps) by range: Range Current Source Value (nominal) ±5% I s Maximum Test Voltage (Vt) Offset Compensated Ohms Available?100 Ω 950 µA 105 m V Yes1 kΩ 950 µA 1.05 V Yes10 kΩ 95 µA 1.05 V Yes100 kΩ 9.5 µA 1.05 V No1 MΩ 9.5 µA 10.5 V No10 MΩ 0.95 µA 10.5 V No100 MΩ 0.95 µA *Refer to \"\"Measuring on the 100MOhm Range\"\" section 10.5 V No Every time you run self-calibration, the current (amps) source recalibrates to an ultra-high stability 10 kΩ reference resistor. While the absolute tolerance of the current (amps) is ±5%, the recalibration process identifies the value to a sub-ppm precision level. The calculated value of resistance (ohms) is corrected to the precision of the ultra-stable reference resistor, assuring accurate measurements. The NI 4070 Digital Multimeter has two modes of resistance (ohms) measurement: 2-wire and 4-wire. 2-wire and 4-wire apply the same precision current (amps) to the circuit, but the difference between 2-wire and 4-wire resistance (ohms) measurements is how the voltage measurement is made.

A trigger point is simply a small contraction knot in muscle. This knot feels like a pea buried deep in the muscle, and can feel as big as a thumb. It maintains a hard contraction on the muscle fibres connected to it, thus causing a tight band that can also be felt in the muscle. These trigger points in muscles and in the thin wrapping around each muscle [called fascia] are called myofascial trigger points, to distinguish them from trigger points which can occur in other soft tissues such as skin, ligaments and tendons, and also in scar tissue. Are TPs the same as a muscle spasm or strain or tear? No, a TP is not the same thing as a muscle spasm. A spasm involves a violent contraction of the whole muscle, whereas a TP is contraction in only a small part of a muscle. A strain or tear involves physical damage to the muscle or tendon fibres, Such damage has not been demonstrated in studies of TPs. [ However, such injuries may predispose one to developing TPs there later on. ]" } ]

Muscle knots are basically chronic muscle strains caused by repetitive movements or postures that contract muscle fibers for long periods of time. Muscles are meant to contract for short durations, then completely relax. However, performing similar movements over and over (due to athletics, weightlifting, cleaning the house, etc.) or sustaining certain postures while at work strains muscles fibers and causes them to remain contracted. As such, chronic muscle strains and knots respond well to light stretching because it relieves the tension, promotes blood flow and improves flexibility. [ 1] As a general rule, hold the stretches (without bouncing) for about 30 seconds and do them at least three times daily until the achiness from the knot fades away. While standing or sitting up straight, reach around the front of your body and grab the opposite elbow with your hand. Gently pull on the back of the elbow across your chest until you feel a stretch in the corresponding shoulder.

Chiropractor to make sure mis-alignment is not contributing to the problem - Massage therapist to get rid of the knots - use the principles in the book at the bottom Much pain is from muscles below is an example of what may help (based on headaches). Begin with a couple swigs of molasses or a couple of bananas (natural muscle relaxers) daily - magnesium (which regulates many things in the body) and potassium (a needed building block for muscles). Drink at least 1/2 gallons of water per day. Running a body low on water is like running a car low on oil is the analogy the head of neurology at UCDavis told my husband about 10 years ago. Now to the cause - muscles - your back, neck shoulders and head have tender spots. They are knots in the fibers of the muscles called trigger points. It makes the muscles tight which makes them press on nerves and other things causing the pain. The cure - start with a professional massage, (if this does not do it you probably need a chiropractor as well) you will also want to go back over any place you can get to 6-12 times per session up to 6 times per day rubbing (or lightly scratching on your head) every where that is tender until the knots go away." }, { "docid": "D851629#0", "title": "http://dailyhealthpost.com/how-to-treat-muscle-knots-in-your-back-neck-shoulders/\nHow to Treat Muscle Knots in Your Back, Neck, & Shoulders", "text": "You are here: Home / Wellness /2.8KShare Pin Email How to Treat Muscle Knots in Your Back, Neck, & Shouldersby Built Lean January 13, 2014By Peter Zhou, Originally Published on Built Lean.com Know that sharp ache you get after an intense workout that is usually in your neck, shoulders, or upper back? It can be difficult just to move your shoulders without feeling pain, let alone continue with your workout. Even worse, this pain can linger on for weeks, or even months. If you are active, or lift weights consistently and feel a constant stinging pain in your muscle, the culprit may be muscle knots. What are Muscle Knots? Muscle knots are points within a muscle where contracted fibers are unable to release [1], or, as the dictionary puts it: “highly irritable localized spots of exquisite tenderness in a nodule in palpable taunt bands of muscle tissue. ”A common problem for active people, muscle knots—technically called Myofascial Trigger Points, or MTPS—feel like a small knot to your fingertips. These knots can range from the size of a pinhead in smaller muscles to the size of your thumb in larger muscles. [ 2]Muscle knots can cause pain in two ways: (1) latent trigger points, which are knots that only hurt when you put pressure on them, and (2) active trigger points, which are knots that actively refer pain along your neural pathways, causing it in non-localized areas. Trigger points in a constant state of contraction have excess metabolic waste and oxygen use because blood flow to this area stops—this sends pain signals to the brain." }, { "docid": "D1331412#0", "title": "http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2012-10-18/health/fl-jjps-neck-1017-20121018_1_neck-pain-spasm\nNeck and shoulder pain can have many causes", "text": "\"Neck and shoulder pain can have many causes October 18, 2012 | Harvard Health Letters Do your neck and shoulders feel stiff when you awaken in the morning?

Soreness can either be immediate or soreness that you feel shortly after exercise or delayed onset muscle soreness that you feel 24 to 48 hours after activity, according to the American Council on Exercise. You are especially likely to experience delayed onset muscle soreness after increasing your exercise intensity and participating in activities that require shock absorption. Dr. Cedric X.

The goal of today’s article is to help you learn more about the anatomy of the rhomboids, the origin and the cause of the pain, how to accurately diagnose it, and offer some practical exercises you can follow to help yourself. The rhomboid muscles are a deep set of muscles of the upper back. They connect the medial edge of the shoulder blade to the spine. Rhomboid strain is a term used loosely to describe a stretch or a tear in the muscles. Another common condition involving these muscles is known as rhomboid spasm – this is a sudden, involuntary tightening of the muscle which may result in muscle knots.

I get asked all the time as I work on a knot, “What is that?” What causes that?” A simple explanation is that a knot is a tight ball of muscle from an overworked muscle. I have been asked if a knot is when two or more muscles become intertwined. A good question because actually fibers within the same muscle can become intertwined as can fibers from separate muscles that share an attachment of the same bone.

It is similar to the effect produced by a violinist's hand as it moves back and forth. As Sir James Galway wrote in his book Flute,Vibrato is another subject on which experts violently disagree, and all of them are right. If one thing rather than another expresses the individual, it is vibrato. [...] There is no last word on what vibrato should be used, or how it should be varied to suit the musicality and individuality. Why Vibrato? Vibrato gives life to the sound, allows for intensity, and helps a player to focus. Occasionally the music calls for stillness, and then a note or two or a phrase can be played without vibrato to advantage. But as a rule music without vibrato is a pretty lifeless thing. On the other hand, if the vibrato never varies, neither does the life of the music, and the result is rather tiresome and tedious." }, { "docid": "D2622705#0", "title": "http://blog.dubspot.com/trap-music-from-southern-rap-to-edm/\nWhat is Trap?

Then and Now – From Southern Rap to EDM (Flosstradamus, Baauer, Gucci Mane)by Computo on Nov 9, 2012Share Like Share on Google+ Tweet Comments The growing popularity of trap music in North America has been one of the biggest stories in electronic dance music in 2012. Dubspot writer Computo explores trap’s DNA…UNDERGR☢UND ANTHEM by Flosstradamus The summer of 2012 saw the rise of trap music in North America. With DJs and producers like Flosstradamus, Diplo, The Gaslamp Killer and TNGHT (Hudson Mohawke and Lunice) spreading the sound, and major hip hop artists like Kanye West, 2 Chainz, and Gucci Mane releasing trap-influenced hits like “Mercy” and “Birthday Song,” the the stripped-back 808-dominant style has an undeniable surge in popularity. With its short detuned hip hop vocal loops, the classic 808 sub kick creating low-end pressure and short squeals of pitch-shifting synths supplying the melodies, trap has been one of the most-hyped sounds of 2012, but where does it come from? Origins of Trap The current trap music revival draws on several different sources of musical inspiration. Part of the DNA of trap music goes all the way back to the early hip hop, electro and Miami bass of the late 80s and early 90s, relying heavily on the classic sounds of the Roland TR-808 drum machine. Electro tracks like “Planet Rock” by Afrika Bambaataa introduced the 808 sound to dancefloors, and Miami bass tracks like “My Boo” by the Ghost Town DJs were anchored by some of the same 808-heavy beats and crushed-fill drum patterns that would later get slowed down and become associated with trap.ghost town dj's - my boo (Video Quality A++)Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available.

By Guest Blogger March 4, 201563 27537 30Do these guys look hard at work recording an album? [ This article was written by Michael Corcoran. It originally appeared on the Music SUBMIT Blog. ] In 1972, the Rolling Stones released the album Exile on Main Street. The band began by recording songs in a studio in London, moved to the South of France to continue jamming and recording in a rented chalet, and finally completed the album in a studio in Los Angeles. The entire process, from conception to recording to mixing to release, consumed 3 years’ time and cost north $2M. Most critics consider Exile the Stones’ best record and one of the greatest rock records of all time. The fact that it cost as much as it did, and took 3 years to record it, was at the time completely written away and justified as “Hey, that’s rock-n-roll for ya. ”How times have changed.

Anytime you have somebody talking about how many drugs they did or what kind of car they stole it is bad.

Music can also create a positive learning environment and relax the class to produce more productivity. Music also helps with memory and when a student learns a song that teaches students something the student is more likely to remember that information.

Flag How do speakers use magnets to produce sound? Edit Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. The magnets in speakers work to absorb the sounds running through the coils. Think of it as a big dust collector and the \"\"dust\"\" in the sound coming through. It amplifies the frequency at which the music is coming out and it captures and pushes it out at an audible volume of sound instead of a frequency of radio waves. That way it turns it into something you can hear from virtually gargled \"\"white noise.\"\" The process is similar to how guitar pickups work, absorbing the vibrating sound waves from the strings and picking them up as an electro-magnetic signal, it then passes it through the guitar cable and into the amplifier (which has a speaker with a magnet in it just like the one in a stereo). The process of the speaker is just the opposite of the guitar pickups; one absorbs and changes the sound, then sends it to the other, which amplifies and pushes out the sound. Magnets are a very amazing audio device, definitely something you should look more into if you are a fan of cool musical experiments, or just want to know more about how the sound systems we all know and love work.2 people found this useful Was this answer useful?" }, { "docid": "D2173925#0", "title": "https://skeptoid.com/episodes/4147\nBinaural Beats: Not Digital Drugs", "text": "\"Binaural Beats: Not Digital Drugs The science behind binaural beats: What they are, what they are claimed to do, and what they can actually do.by Brian Dunning Filed under Alternative Medicine, Consumer Ripoffs Skeptoid Podcast #147 March 31, 2009 Podcast transcript | Download | Subscribe Also available in Russian Listen:http://skeptoid.com/audio/skeptoid-4147.mp3Today we're going to put on our headphones, kick back in the beanbag, and get mellow to the soothing sounds of the latest digital drug: binaural beats. These computer generated sound files are said to massage your brain and produce all sorts of effects, everything from psychedelic experiences to behavior modification. Let's point our skeptical eye at the science of binaural beats, and especially at some of the claims made for them. First of all, I'm sure you're curious right off the bat to hear what binaural beats sound like, so let's take a listen: Your browser does not support the audio tag. A binaureal beat is created by playing a different tone in each ear, and the interference pattern between the slightly differing frequencies creates the illusion of a beat. It's intended to be heard through headphones, so there's no cross-channel bleed across both ears. Listen to this, I'll play a simple binaural beat, and I'll slide the pan control back and forth from one ear to the other. You can see that there isn't actually any beat, it's just an acoustic illusion: Your browser does not support the audio tag. If you search the Internet for \"\"binaural beats\"\" you'll quickly find there's a whole industry built on the idea that listening to binaural beats can produce all kinds of desired effects in your brain. It can alter your mood, help you follow a diet or stop smoking, get you pumped up for a competition, calm you down, put you to sleep, enhance your memory, act as an aphrodisiac, cure headaches, and even balance your chakra." }, { "docid": "D3190333#0", "title": "http://www.apa.org/research/action/speaking-of-psychology/music-health.aspx\nSpeaking of Psychology: Music and your health", "text": "\"Speaking of Psychology: Music and your health Episode 11Your browser does not support our podcast player.

The bad news is that unless you’re actually a great genius of music, that’s going to be a pretty lofty goal, and I can’t guarantee 100% it’s something you’ll actually achieve. While genius may be an inherent gift, greatness is the product of hard work, and many of the greats would never have known about their gifts had they not made the attempt to become record producers in the first place. If you intend to try and walk the path of greatness pioneered by giants like George Martin, Tony Visconti, and Butch Vig, then read on and find out just what it takes to make it as a record producer. Producer Tony Visconti, the man behind David Bowie’s Low, Lodger, and Heroes. That’s the standard to aim for.1Love and Respect Music This is the single most important element of achieving success as a producer. If you’re just in it for the promise of money, glamour, or prestige, you’re unlikely to achieve any of those things. Love music and commit yourself to knowing as much as you can about it. Critically listen to a million records until you understand what makes a song work and what weakens it. Keep the goal of producing a great song your top priority on every single track you make." } ]
