(2014). Using the Stroop effect to test our capacity to direct attention: A tool for navigating urgent transitions. Retrieved from http://www.snre.umich.edu/eplab/demos/st0/stroopdesc.html PRECIWe are beginning to experience the unwelcome consequences of attempting limitless growth on a relentlessly finite planet. We must leave behind the technofantasy that we live on a world without limits. We need to make an urgent transition to a new pattern of living, one based on simplicity, frugality and agrarian restoration. This transition will be both mentally and behaviorally difficult. More than any other skills, we will need mental clearheadedness, clarity of purpose, patience and perseverance. These skills all, in turn, draw upon a mental quality called vitality. If managed well, mental vitality will enable our rapid yet civil transition to sustainable living. Discussed here is an assessment tool for measuring and managing mental vitality."

For the class of psychiatric disorders, see Impulse control disorder. Inhibitory control, also known as response inhibition, is a cognitive process that permits an individual to inhibit their impulses and natural, habitual, or dominant behavioral responses to stimuli ( a.k.a. prepotent responses) in order to select a more appropriate behavior that is consistent with completing their goals. [ 1] [2] For example, successfully suppressing the natural behavioral response to eat cake when one is craving it while dieting requires the use of inhibitory control. [ 2]Inhibitory control is an executive function and self-control is an important aspect of inhibitory control.

Posner, Weill Medical College of Cornell University, New York, NY, and approved October 11, 2001 (received for review September 5, 2001)Abstract Full Text Authors & Info Figures Metrics PDFNext Section Abstract Dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (d ACC) is a brain region that subserves cognition and motor control, but the mechanisms of these functions remain unknown. Human neuroimaging and monkey electrophysiology studies have provided valuable insights, but it has been difficult to link the two literatures. Based on monkey single-unit recordings, we hypothesized that human d ACC is comprised of a mixture of functionally distinct cells that variously anticipate and detect targets, indicate novelty, influence motor responses, encode reward values, and signal errors. As an initial test of this conceptualization, the current event-related functional MRI study used a reward-based decision-making task to isolate responses from a subpopulation of d ACC cells sensitive to reward reduction. As predicted, seven of eight subjects showed significant ( P < 10 −4) d ACC activation when contrasting reduced reward (REDrew) trials to fixation (FIX). Confirmatory group analyses then corroborated the predicted ordinal relationships of functional MRI activation expected during each trial type (REDrew > SWITCH > CONrew ≥ FIX). The data support a role for d ACC in reward-based decision making, and by linking the human and monkey literatures, provide initial support for the existence of heterogeneity within d ACC. These findings should be of interest to those studying reward, cognition, emotion, motivation, and motor control. ∥Anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) lies on the medial surfaces of the brain's frontal lobes and encompasses subdivisions that play key roles in cognitive, motor, and emotional processing ( 1 ). Dorsal ACC (d ACC) in humans includes cortex on the dorsal and ventral banks of the cingulate sulcus, and overlaps the territory occupied by the rostral cingulate motor area (CMAr) in monkeys ( 2, 3 ), which has projections directly to the spinal cord ( 4 ) and motor and limbic cortices ( 5 )."

Everybody knows they should probably exercise more... but finding the motivation and the time can be difficult. How much do you work out each week? Hopefully, the new findings that physical activity can improve cognitive function thoughout a lifespan will motivate you to exercise more—regardless of your age. This week, two studies were released showing that physical activity done today can benefit cognitive function for decades down the road. Countless other studies have shown that regular physical activity and fine-tuned motor skills benefit cognitive function beginning in infancy and continuing through every stage of our lives. In the first study, researchers from the University of Minnesota found that young adults who run or participate in aerobic activities preserve their thinking and memory skills for middle age. The second study, from Finland, found that middle aged people who are physically active protect themselves from dementia in older age.

First reported in parkinsonism, it is a sensitive but nonspecific indicator of cerebral pathology, white matter integrity, and frontosubcortical circuit disruption. Despite challenges in definition and quantification, reports dissociate bradyphrenia from aging, depression, and bradykinesia. Speed training and medications may attenuate the impact on patients' functioning. Author Keywords Bradykinesia; Diffusion tensor imaging; Dopamine; Encephalitis lethargica; Mesocortical pathway; Parkinson's disease; Processing speed; Progressive supranuclear palsy;Psychomotor retardation; Reaction time; Response latency; Subcortical dementia; White matter; Working memory Definition Bradyphrenia represents a pathological slowing in cognition. Synonymous with the historical term's ‘psychic akinesia,’ it is a highly sensitive although nonspecific indicator of cerebral dysfunction. Operational definitions depend on the measure used and include impairments in processing speed, information processing speed, complex attention, mental speed, reaction time, and inspection time. Clinically the patient or caregiver endorses the patient’s decreased productivity on timed tasks or the need to take longer time periods to complete mental process. Clinicians may observe increased response latency. Processing speed is a multifactorial construct, comprising speed of perception, processing, and response, the exact definition and objective measurement of which are challenging."

The concept of motor cognition grasps the notion that cognition is embodied in action, and that the motor system participates in what is usually considered as mental processing, including those involved in social interaction. [ 1] The fundamental unit of the motor cognition paradigm is action, defined as the movements produced to satisfy an intention towards a specific motor goal, or in reaction to a meaningful event in the physical and social environments. Motor cognition takes into account the preparation and production of actions, as well as the processes involved in recognizing, predicting, mimicking and understanding the behavior of other people. This paradigm has received a great deal of attention and empirical support in recent years from a variety of research domains including developmental psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and social psychology.

Contents [ hide ]1 History2 The CAS battery2.1 Planning Scale2.2 Attention Scale2.3 Simultaneous Scale2.4 Successive Scale3 Present Use4 Criticisms5 See also6 References7 Further reading8 External links History [ edit]CAS development began with an attempt to offer an alternative to the IQ test (Das, Kirby & Jarman, 1975, [1] 1979 [2] ). Developed and published in 1997 by J. P. Das, Ph D of the University of Alberta and Jack Naglieri, Ph D, then at Ohio State University, the CAS has its theoretical bases both in the neuropsychology of Luria as well as in cognitive psychology. CAS is based on the planning, attention-arousal, simultaneous and successive (PASS) cognitive processing theory (or the PASS Theory of Intelligence ), a modern theory within the information-processing framework (Das, Naglieri & Kirby, 1994 [3] ). Roots of CAS are in Luria’s (1973) [4] organization of cognitive functions in the brain as well as in cognitive psychology of Baddeley, Estes, Posner and other contemporary psychologists. Their work has guided the selection and interpretation of CAS tests. The Kaufman assessment battery for children or KABC by ( Alan S. Kaufman, 1983 [5] ) is perhaps the first battery of commercially available tests to provide a psychometric assessment of cognitive processes. K-ABC has used several references to the early research of Das and his colleagues (Das, Kirby & Jarman,1979 [2]) on simultaneous and successive processing, a precursor to PASS theory. KABC did not assess the Arousal-Attention, and Planning functions, as CAS did, until K-ABC II appeared in 2004. The latter provides two theoretical bases, one of them in Luria (1966) [6] and by default, the 4 PASS processes) and the other in Cattell-Horn-Carroll model (CHC) which is essentially an elaboration of fluid and crystallized intelligence (Mc Grew 2005 [7] ). Some may consider this a strength of KABC-II."

Under normal conditions, this remains stable for around 1 hour before gradually clearing in the following 3-4 hours (depending on a variety of factors). A landmark 2004 study showed that small hourly doses of caffeine (.3mg per kg of body weight [approx 20 mg per hour; thanks digg!]) can support extended wakefulness, potentially by counteracting the homeostatic sleep pressure, which builds slowly across the day and acts preferentially on the prefrontal cortex (an area of the brain thought responsible for executive and “higher” cognitive functions). At doses of 600mg, caffeine’s effects on cognitive performance are often comparable to those of modafinil, a best-of-class nootropic.2) Play to your cognitive strengths while wired. Caffeine may increase the speed with which you work, may decrease attentional lapses, and may even benefit recall – but is less likely to benefit more complex cognitive functions, and may even hurt others. Plan accordingly (and preferably prior to consuming caffeine! )"

"text": "\"Psychodynamic Approach › Freud Sigmund Freudby Saul Mc Leod published 2013Freud’s lexicon has become embedded within the vocabulary of western society. Words he introduced through his theories are now used by everyday people, such as anal (personality), libido, denial, repression, cathartic, Freudian slip, and neurotic. Freud believed that when we explain our behavior to ourselves or others (conscious mental activity), we rarely give a true account of our motivation. This is not because we are deliberately lying. While human beings are great deceivers of others; they are even more adept at self-deception. Our rationalizations of our conduct are therefore disguising the real reasons. Freud’s life work was dominated by his attempts to find ways of penetrating this often subtle and elaborate camouflage that obscures the hidden structure and processes of personality. Freud was the founding father of psychoanalysis, a method for treating mental illness and also a theory which explains human behavior. Psychoanalysis is often known as the talking cure. Typically Freud would encourage his patients to talk freely (on his famous couch) regarding their symptoms and to describe exactly what was on their mind."

"text": "Up Next A stud finder may look like a futuristic weapon,but it's an excellent way to locate the stud behind a wall. See morepictures of hand tools. Hanging heavy objects on walls requires that you anchor the fastener to an unseen wall stud rather than just to drywall. A stud finder can identify a stud's location. What a Stud Finder Does A stud finder is a battery-operated electromagnet that identifies the location of vertical wall framing members called studs. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) display the change in the electromagnetic field to signal proximity to the stud. The electromagnetic field also identifies the location of metal nails that attach drywall to the stud. Hand Tools Image Gallery How to Safely Use a Stud Finder To use a stud finder, place the unit on the wall and turn it on, typically by holding down side buttons. Slide the stud finder horizontally across the wall until the lights indicate the location of a stud and mark the point with a pencil. Other studs will be spaced 16 or 24 inches from this stud."

"text": "Technology | HOW IT WORKSHOW IT WORKS; Detectors Can Find Just the Right Spot to Drive That Nail By MATT LAKE APRIL 12, 2001THE next time you need to hang a picture on your wall or install some shelves, you might rely on aesthetics alone to decide the placement. Of course, if you do that, you risk being awakened in the middle of the night by a loud crashing sound as your object falls from the wall under its own weight. That is because, as every contractor and do-it-yourselfer knows, you can't rely on wallboard or plaster alone to support something heavy. For real support, you need to fix it directly to a stud inside the wall. Contractors have tricks for finding the studs. Most involve rapping against the wall and listening for a change in the tone of the knock, then banging in a thin nail to verify the stud's location. Another old trick involves turning on an electric razor and dragging the butt end across a wall, noting the change in tone as you move from a wall cavity to a stud. But in the 1970's, technology began to creep into the business of stud-finding. Devices appeared that eliminated the need for good hearing -- and for a big tub of spackle to patch the wall when, inevitably, you ended up missing the stud anyway. The earliest stud finders detected ferrous metals using compasslike pivoting magnets."

In the US, most homes have framing members, or studs, installed on 16-inch centers. Other standards call for 24-inch centers. Many people buy stud finders to quickly and easily locate the studs, but you can find them on your own without purchasing special tools. Once you find a stud, use a pencil to make a small dot to mark the spot, then hang your picture with the knowledge that it's going to stay put. Steps1 Inspect the walls. With your head close to the walls to look across the surface, look for dimples and / or bumps. Lightly mark the dimples and bumps with a pencil. The dimples should only be the size of of a nail or screw head, and the bumps the same size to slightly larger. Try to find two or more close together across the wall's surface left and right and up and down."

"text": "Both ASK and OOK modulation are ways to encode information and assemble them into radio signals to transmit, for example, wirelessly. Information to transmit are all numbers, and here ASK or OOK come to code numbers in radio waves, ASK stands for Amplitude Shift Key - which basically means different number has different wave amplitude, for example, number 2 will be a segment of double-unit-amplitude wave or DW, 1 will be a segment of single-unit-amplitude wave or SW, and 0 will be a segment of zero-amplitude wave or ZW, and during continuous transmitting, the number series 210210210… can be coverted to DW SW ZW DW SW ZW DW SW ZW… so three numbers – 012 have been converted to wave form by ASK transformation at transmitter side, then picked up by receiver which recognize the wave form signal and restore them into numbers and information. ASK however has some problem, as you can see noise interference is everywhere around us, so maybe receiver can’t correctly pick up the amplitude of given signal, causing it more likely to be interfered in application, which means shorter remote distance. So here comes OOK which is better at distinguishing transmitted code. OOK is basically the same as ASK, the only difference is OOK only has two wave status, on – when there is wave and off – when signal cut off, that’s why the name is OOK – On-Off Key. OOK encoder has greatly simplified encoding difficulty and cost, although OOK is less likely to carry high bit-rate data due to only two status available, but it is enough to be used in garage and gate remote control and other remote keyfobs signal transmission. Original photo is taken on Aug 1st 2013 showing a OOK transmitter SR-C1 working status visualized using spectrum analyzer. Range selection knob has been chosen to 100KHz range, while the center frequency is 433.92MHz. Updated on May 11st 2016 using better graphics showing ASK and OOK comparision. As you can see from above photo, the carrying wave has been divided into several pieces, some are longer while the other are shorter, this is pretty much the compositon of carrying wave – which should be a smooth and continuous curve if there is no signal carried, and the OOK encoder, which turns on the transmitting for data one and cut off the transmitter for data zero."

"text": "A stud finder is a small device that allows the user to identify where wooden or metal beams are located behind walls. This can help the person to find good places to use nails or picture hangers. Often, sheet rock without a stud behind it easily yields to even a pushpin. On the other hand, sheet rock with a stud behind it can cause difficulties in attempting to stick in that pin. Generally, stud finders come in one of two types. An electronic device notes differences in density to identify a wooden beam behind the wall. A magnetic one finds metal studs, and also may be helpful in identifying when screws or nails are on wooden stud. Usually, both types are small handheld devices that use batteries to perform this operation. This tool may beep, although some have a small viewer screen with readings that help the user to easily locate the stud. The device usually beeps or displays an image on the screen when it is placed over the stud."

Your curtain rod bracket, toilet paper holder, towel bar or picture frame wall anchor has been pulled out, fallen out or has become loose, how do you fix this? First of all the reason it fell out was because you installed or attached it into drywall. Drywall anchors are fine for many uses and applications, but if people will be pulling indirectly on the object it can loosen and fall out over time. When we say “pulling indirectly” we mean a towel bar, curtain rod or toilet paper holder. These items can be loosened from the wall as they receive indirect force on them daily. A picture frame usually does not fall out of a wall because it is never touched. ( Here is a Drywall Anchor Animation to help you better understand a plastic drywall anchor . ) The BEST fix for something that has fallen out of the wall is to install the towel bar or whatever you are reattaching into a Stud.

Need a new phone jack in your bedroom or installing speakers for your home theater system? While you could simply string the wires along the floor, it’s best to snake the wires inside walls or under floors. Wiring new construction before the drywall goes in is a piece of cake compared to fishing them through existing walls and floors. But with careful planning, a few special tools, and the right techniques, running wires in the wall of your home may be easier than you might think. If you’re not up to the challenge, consider running the wires in special hollow moldings that take the place of standard crown molding or quarter round. Tools Fish tape Tools needed for running wires: Drill and bits Stud Finder Measuring Tape Flashlight Drywall keyhole Saw Fish Tape or Wire Coat Hanger Electrical Tape String and fishing weight Before You Start Check Building Codes: Most areas allow homeowners to install their own low-voltage wiring—such as phone lines, computer network cable, and speaker wire—but check to be sure. Select Proper Wire or Cable: Make sure you use UL rated in-wall wiring that meets local building and fire codes—including CM, CMR, or CMP for computer networking, and CL2 or CL3 for speakers. Turn off the Power: Always turn off the breakers in your electrical box before you begin to reduce the chance of an electrical shock should you accidently cut or drill into existing wiring. Avoid Electrical Wires: Keep speaker, computer, and phone wires away from standard electrical wiring for safety reasons and to reduce interference."

"text": "How To: Find Studs in a Plaster Wall By Scott Sidler • September 2, 2013If you own an old house with plaster and lath walls you may have discovered how utterly useless a stud finder can be. Most smaller items can be hung pretty securely anywhere on the wall by screwing into the wood lath, but for heavy things that weight more than 10-15 lbs, like large mirrors and TVs, you’ll need to learn how to find studs in a plaster wall. Don’t waste your money on that stud finder. Try these simple and time tested tricks to find studs in a plaster wall the next time you need to hang something in your old house. The third trick is my personal favorite because it never fails!#1 Find an Electrical Box Electrical boxes for outlets and light switches are supposed to be attached to studs. Though there may be an occasional free floating box in an old home you have an excellent chance of finding a stud on one side of the box. To see which side the stud is on, take the switch plate cover off and take a peak inside. Either turn the breaker off or be careful not to touch any wires before attempting this or you can get a nasty shock. Once you find the stud you can measure off 16″ to find the next one most times. Most houses built in the last 100 years were framed 16″ O. C. (on center) and some were framed 24″ O. C. although many old houses may have unusual stud spacing so this method may not work for everyone.#2 Knock on the Wall This one may seem old fashioned but gently knocking your hand along the wall and listening for differences is a pretty accurate technique to find studs."

"text": "\"Related Articles How to Put in a Tub Drain & Overflow How to Replace a Tub Drain Shoe How to Seal a Bathtub Drain How to Remove a Stuck Bathtub Drain Stopper The water flows out of your bathtub via two channels: the main waste-water drain and the overflow drain. The overflow is located behind the cover that is installed directly above your tub drain and beneath the faucet. Over time, the overflow drain can become corroded or clogged with hair and other debris carried into it with the water. If the main waste-water drain is functioning properly and in good condition, you can replace just the overflow drain. This is a task that most homeowners can do themselves, without a pricey visit from the plumber.1Loosen the screws on the overflow drain cover using a screwdriver. Remove the cover and set it aside.2Open the access hole so you can see the pipes behind the tub. This is typically located on the wall backing up to your bathtub’s pipes. If there is no access hole, locate the studs in the wall using a stud finder.3Mark the studs’ location at the base of the wall with a pencil, and then cut an opening between these lines using a drywall saw. Try to keep the cut as clean as possible, so you can replace the panel, and cut to reveal the stud behind the drywall.4Loosen the slip nut that holds the overflow pipe to the waste-water drain’s T-fitting by turning the nut counterclockwise using locking pliers. If the nut does not turn, apply a drop of light lubricating oil to it, and leave it to soak for several minutes."

Unlike plaster, drywall has a seamless paper covering that rarely cracks or splits. When a crack appears, it is usually on a seam where two drywall sheets meet, and it is easily fixed. If the crack is on a vertical or horizontal seam, carefully widen the crack with the corner of a paint scraper, utility knife or chisel to determine if the crack extends completely through the paper that is covering the seam (image 2); and if the tape has pulled loose from the wall surface. If the tape is intact and well-adhered, the crack was probably caused by the old drywall compound drying and shrinking. Simply fill the crack with new compound.

"text": "\"Related Articles How High Should Receptacles Be Above a Bathroom Counter? How Far Does Electricity Need to Be From a Sink? What Is the Standard Height for Electrical Wall Switches? How to Wire a New Bathroom The National Electrical Code doesn't have any specific requirement regarding the height of a receptacle above a vanity. The only thing the NEC requires is that there must be one outlet within 36 inches of the outside edge of the sink, and it must be in the wall adjacent to the basin or countertop. It's permissible to put a receptacle higher than that, as long as there is another one within the required distance. The receptacles in the bathroom must be on a dedicated circuit that doesn't include the lights, and all the receptacles must be ground-fault protected.1Choose a location for the outlet that is within 3 feet of the sink unless there is an existing one within that distance. Find the studs near your chosen location with a stud finder. You can install the outlet between studs or next to one but not in front of one.2Cut a hole in the wall large enough to accommodate a remodeling electrical box with a drywall saw, if you're installing the outlet in a finished wall. If the wall isn't covered, nail or screw an electrical box to the stud at the planned location of the outlet.3Turn off electricity to the circuit you'll be working on, and double-check that power is off with a noncontact circuit tester."

"text": "Home » College What Does It Mean to Be Picked as a Student Ambassador? By Amy Pearson; Updated September 26, 2017Student ambassadors are important sources of information for prospective students. Student ambassadors are selected to positively represent a college or university as they help prospective students by answering questions and giving campus tours. Student ambassador duties vary by university. Some ambassadors are paid for their work, while others are volunteer positions. Those selected to be student ambassadors will build a professional resume, strengthen their leadership skills and improve their communication abilities. Qualifications Student ambassadors need to enjoy interacting with a wide variety of people and be comfortable with public speaking. Although individual universities have their own requirements, student ambassadors generally need to be in good academic standing. A minimum grade point average and letters of recommendation may be required as well. University Representation When universities select student ambassadors, they are placing their trust in them to make good choices that will represent the university in a positive manner."

The GHS Ambassador Program is composed of two award levels: The Community Service Ambassador and the Community Scholar Ambassador for the classes of 2016 and 2017. For the Class of 2019 and beyond, the program will have these two award levels: Community Service Ambassador and Community Service Ambassador with Distinction. The class of 2018 will be able to choose between Community Service Ambassador, Community Scholar Ambassador or Community Service Ambassador with Distinction. Each of these award designations is explained in the Program Guidelines. Membership in the Ambassador Program is strictly elective, student-initiated and student-handled. There is no mandated requirement for GHS students to perform community service as a part of their course of study over their 4 years of high school nor is community service completion a requisite for graduation purposes. AMBASSADOR PROGRAM PURPOSE AND MISSIONNever doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has. — Margaret Mead, Anthropologist The Ambassadors program encourages students to step outside of their everyday experiences to expand their understanding of the world around them. These volunteer experiences can change a perception once held, expand a narrow view, or discover a newfound passion that could lead to a future calling or vocation."

A cleft is a gap in the mouth that didn't close during the early stages of pregnancy. As a result, children born with a cleft condition may have an opening in the lip or the roof of their mouth – or both. Children can have a unilateral cleft condition, meaning one side of their mouth is affected, or they can have a bilateral cleft condition where both sides of the mouth are affected. Operation Smile medical programs How does Operation Smile differ in their approach to treating children with cleft conditions around the world? Not every country or community around the world is the same. That's why we work with local medical professionals, governments, hospitals and other NGOs to create various models of surgical care. Together, we determine which solutions work best in order to reach as many children as possible wherever we work. And we’re going to keep doing this and refining our approach as we move forward."

Both embassies and consulates are representative departments of a foreign country/government within another country. Technically, an Embassy is where an \"\"Ambassador\"\" is based. As there can only be one Ambassador for a specific country, there can only be (at most) one Embassy. As the Ambassador is the highest ranking representative of that foreign government, the Embassy is thus also deemed to be the highest level of representative location. A consulate is similar, but generally deemed to be a lower ranking due to the lack of an Ambassador. Consulates will generally be smaller - often being more like an office where the embassy often doubles as the actual residence for the Ambassador and/or some of his staff."

( Reuters/Nacho Doce)This piece has been corrected. Like over 75% of professors in America, I am an adjunct, or, in corporate-speak, “contingent” or “part-time” faculty. I have been teaching in the City University of New York (CUNY) system—in the English departments of both John Jay and Hunter Colleges—for a couple of years. At the moment, with a few years within the CUNY system under my belt, I earn $73.53 per hour. Generally, adjuncts, unlike other faculty, are paid by the hour—and we are only paid for the hours spent in the classroom. We are not paid for class preparation, or grading papers, or email correspondence with students, or writing students letters of recommendation, or attending sometimes mandatory faculty seminars/meetings. We do not receive benefits, like health insurance. If we teach at more than one school, we are limited to teach a total of three courses a semester, which, at my current rate, means I’d earn approximately $13,200 before taxes each semester. Which is impossible, since CUNY has told me there are no courses available for the fall semester, because enrollment is down and the system, apparently, is strapped for cash."

Many small children read about them or see them in books, but rarely have first-hand contact with them. During a recent outreach event in the northern suburbs of Chicago, I met first and second graders that had never seen a live snake or lizard! When one came out of a bag, they lit up like they had just caught Santa emerging from the chimney on Christmas morning. Based on that introduction, it is easy to conclude that I get a lot of enjoyment out of introducing the world of herps to small kids. I enjoy engaging with kids in ways that not only introduce them to the animals, but also in ways that could motivate them to pursue science throughout their education. Several years ago, I described an exercise aimed at getting kids to think about the ways that dewlaps are used during animal communication. This past weekend I tested a new exercise as an outreach activity for GEMS, Girls Empowered in Math and Science, which was hosted at Niles West High School in Skokie, IL.

"text": "\"Home Buying Guides Musical Instruments & Gear Brass How to Buy a Used Trumpete Bay Like March 3, 2016Every parent who has ever put a child into school band has faced the quandary of whether to buy a new versus a used instrument. Is it worth it to buy a brand new trumpet for a child who may not continue in music, or would a used trumpet be a better choice? Adult student musicians face the same questions, although, since they are likely paying for their own instrument, they usually have a better handle on whether they plan continue than a parent does when faced with a first-year band student. Musical instruments can be expensive, and that is particularly true for trumpets. Buying a used trumpet can not only lower the total expenditure but also, and perhaps more importantly, enable a beginner to start playing with a higher quality trumpet than they might have been able to afford had they bought new. Trumpet Basics The trumpet has been around for a very long time, going back perhaps as far as Ancient Egypt. What it has not always been is a musical instrument. Trumpets originated as military signalling devices and did not become really popular in music until the 16th and 17th centuries. Early trumpets are called natural trumpets, as they do not possess valves, which were not introduced until the early 19th century. Before then, crooks and shanks were used; these are sections of tubing that altered the internal length of the trumpet to adjust the sound."

The college was established in 1947 in Pasadena, California by radio evangelist Herbert W. Armstrong, leader of what was then the Radio Church of God, later renamed the Worldwide Church of God. The college was approved by the State of California to grant degrees. In 1960 a second campus was opened at Bricket Wood, Hertfordshire, England, and in 1964 a third campus was opened in Big Sandy, Texas. At the time Ambassador closed for financial reasons in May 1997 it had operated for 50 years and had become regionally accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.

The name Radio Church of God was initially selected, in the 1930s, because Herbert Armstrong started the church as a radio program in Eugene, Oregon. The ministry grew to include publishing, and congregations were formed, first in the United States and then gradually in other countries—hence, the eventual name change to \"\"Worldwide Church of God. \"\" After Armstrong moved his operations to California, he founded Ambassador College in 1947. The college began acquiring lavish mansions on Orange Grove Blvd."

This is symbolic of spiritual faith, and worship because we follow our belief system as the sunflower moves to face the life-giving rays of the sun. The sunflower is the Greek symbol of Clytie (a water nymph) who turns into a sunflower after grieving over the loss of her love (Apollo). The mythological symbolism here is that Clytie (in the form of a sunflower) is always facing the sun, looking for Apollo's chariot to return and she might be joined again with her love. The sunflower is also a symbol of Daphne (another Greek nymph).

Bob Koenders, owner of the Backyard Bouquet Farm, sees a field of amazing sunflowers, maybe not all yellow, with their heads held high following the path of the sun. “ There is nothing better than a field of sunflowers at sunrise,” claims Koenders. He calls them the flower of the future. Statistics support this claim. According to the Michigan Department of Agriculture, in 1997 there were 32 farms growing sunflowers on 1,522 acres, and by 2002 there were 91 farms with 2,275 acres. Most of the fields of open sunflowers are oil seed type, grown for oil or seed (for birds or humans). Their heads were bred to hang down, making it more difficult for birds to eat the seeds and rain to ruin the harvest. On the other hand, Koenders grows his for cutting, so he wants them upright."

With the retrieval of missing data from the 7-year Sydney Diet Heart Study, researchers now realize that omega-6 vegetable fats do not support a healthy heart. In fact, they may be harmful. In this controlled study, the group who ate less saturated fat and more omega-6 linoleic acid (from safflower oil) had a 17 percent higher risk of dying from heart disease during the study, as compared with 11 percent among the control group who didn’t change their eating.

What is Sunflower Oil? Sunflower oil is a non-volatile oil that can be easily extracted from sunflowers. Although most people are already familiar with sunflowers, they don’t immediately think of sunflowers as sources of an extremely healthy vegetable oil that can replace some of the less healthy cooking oils available on the market. Sunflower oil is also used in certain cosmetic applications. The main producers [ 2] of sunflower oil are Russia, Ukraine, and Argentina, but it is used throughout the world in the preparation of various cuisines. One of the primary reasons for the growing popularity of sunflower oil is its impressive fatty acid content [ 3], which includes palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, and linoleic acid. The combination of fatty acids in the body are extremely important to maintain various elements of human health, and sunflower oil can help maintain that balance. Furthermore, some of those fatty acids, as well as vitamin E and other organic compounds, act as antioxidants in sunflower oil, which means that they can positively affect a huge range of conditions that people regularly suffer from. It also has more polyunsaturated fats than any other commonly used vegetable oil, and with the recent craze of eating healthy and searching for alternative options, sunflower oil is becoming quite desirable on the international market."

Here are seven reasons to think twice before buying non-dairy milks:1. Carrageenan This seaweed-based additive is extremely inflammatory and should be fastidiously avoided. As a matter of fact, carrageenan is so caustic to the digestive tract that researchers use it to induce colitis in lab animals!

In another case, the photo on the oil bottle shows peanuts and it says peanut oil, and then in a small font in a corner it says that it has sunflower oil too. It's all becoming utterly confusing and with newer oils slipping onto grocery shelves, how on earth does one decide what to pick up. In India, since time immemorial, the oil you use in your kitchen is largely dependent on where you come from. In Kerala, it's coconut oil, in Andhra and Rajasthan, it's sesame oil, in the east and north they use mustard oil and in central India and Gujarat groundnut oil is used. Different cultures eat differently and the type of oil fits beautifully into the food landscape of that region. But all that changed in the 80's with the scare of cholesterol and heart disease.

"text": "\"The Eleven Worst Plants By Mallory Ortbergon January 21, 2014 in Writingskip to the article252Like Tweet It cannot be denied that the closer a human being comes into proximity with a plant, the more unlovely and unsettling the plant becomes. This is why it is impossible to trust anyone who owns houseplants; they are unstable and untrustworthy people, and there is something eldritch hiding just behind their faces. Plants are a parody of sentience. They sway passively in the wind while emitting secret poisons and secretly burrowing roots downward to hold the sweet earth captive in their clenched, woody fists. While all plants are unwholesome and wrong in their own way, I have confined myself here to the sort of plants an average resident of North America might encounter in the course of an ordinary day. Mangrove trees and corpse flowers may be mangled presents flung up from the belly of the steaming earth by the devil himself, but most of us are blessedly free from coming across them on our way to work. Here, then, in no particular order, are eleven of the worst plants in the world.1. Sunflowers A sunflower is, for reasons that are totally opaque to me, generally associated with sunshine and openness and loveliness, much in the same way that butterflies are often mistaken for something beautiful. Have you ever looked at a butterfly? Leave the wings out of it; it is a wretched and a hairy and a twitching body with too many darting legs and antennae whizzing out of its thorax, just like any other bug."

"text": "\"A supercharger (also known as a blower) is an air compressor used to force air into the combustion chamber (s) of an internal combustion engine at pressures higher than would otherwise be the case. Any device which does this is a supercharger . The additional mass of oxygen-containing air that is forced into the engine improves its volumetric efficiency which allows it to burn more fuel - which in turn makes it produce more power. A supercharger can be powered mechanically by belt-, gear- or chain-drive from the engine's crankshaft. It can also be driven by a gas turbine powered by the exhaust gasses from the engine. Turbine-driven superchargers are correctly referred to as turbo - superchargers - or more commonly as turbochargers .

This allows for more accurate tuning under conditions that match the real world. These conditions can’t be simulated by an inertia-only dyno (like the more common and less expensive Dynojet). Our dyno can also hold a constant speed while engine load is varied from idle all the way up to full throttle.

Which adds more power? Which is more reliable? Some cars come from the factory with a supercharger, turbocharger, twin turbochargers or sequential turbochargers. In the quest for more horsepower, bolting on a power adder is one of the fastest ways to increase the output of your engine. Which one should you choose? Superchargers The idea behind a supercharger is simple. A belt driven air compressor is attached to the engine accessories and forces more air into the engine. Sounds simple enough, but things can become complicated. A supercharger is belt driven, just like all of the other accessories on your engine."

Hacks like me do this over a bottle of whisky, Volvo execs probably drank Aquavit. A nexus of concerns about automobile emissions and stringent legislation plus a miasma of 'something must be done' was forcing the debate at the-then 80-year-old Swedish car maker. Between the day-after hangover and the announcement of its master plan (Scaleable Platform Architecture or SPA), Volvo was sold by Ford and bought for £1.15 billion by Chinese car maker, Geely Holdings. And, less than a year after purchasing Volvo, Geely green lit one of the most idiosyncratic survival plans in the motor industry. SPA is a common chassis floorpan, which can be made bigger, taller or wider according to which body is going on top. All big Volvos will use it in future. To reduce the costs, weight, complexity and size, SPA accepts only one engine block, a two-litre, four-cylinder, turbocharged unit fuelled with petrol, diesel, CNG or ethanol. The spark-ignition petrol unit can be further boosted with a mechanically linked and clutchable Roots-type supercharger to increase power to above 300bhp and all the cars can be hybridised with front-wheel drive, electric rear-wheel drive and/or plug-in hybrid technology. These new engines will be Volvo's own and built at its flexible Skövde plant with a capacity to build 500,000 engines a year."

Pontiac called it a Ram Air. These were a series of engines (basically named I, II, III, IV, & V). The most recognizable part of the combination was the hood scoops. You can see them in the following images: Here is what the setup actually looked like under the hood: I don't know if you can tell or not, but in the image there are two vacuum operated doors which let air in. These would open when vacuum from the engine was right, letting cold air directly in through the air filter. The largest part of the Ram Air inlets is it would be open at speed."

"text": "February 03, 2016 by Mike Vousden How do turbos work, and how do they differ from superchargers? Turbocharging makes everything better, right? Any survivors from the 1980s will remember the term could be loosely applied to anything – turbo razors, turbo sunglasses and turbo skateboards to name but a handful. But what are (real) turbos? The simplest way to understand them is to consider that an engine needs to mix fuel and air to run. Turbos force more air into the cylinder, which can be mixed with more fuel to create more power. Turbos use the energy of the engine’s exhaust gasses to compress air into the engine. How do they work? Turbos are formed of two main parts – a turbine and a compressor. These are linked so, when the one spins, the other spins with it."

"text": "\"NEXTTurbo Image Gallery Superchargers pressurize air intake to above atmospheric pressure. How is this different from what a turbocharger does? See more turbo pictures . Let's start with the similarities. Both turbochargers and superchargers are called forced induction systems. They compress the air flowing into the engine (see How Car Engines Work for a description of airflow in a normal engine). The advantage of compressing the air is that it lets the engine stuff more air into a cylinder. More air means that more fuel can be stuffed in, too, so you get more power from each explosion in each cylinder. A turbo/supercharged engine produces more power overall than the same engine without the charging. The typical boost provided by either a turbocharger or a supercharger is 6 to 8 pounds per square inch (psi)."

The new C32 is the exception to the rule at the performance division of Mercedes-Benz. First came AMG's C36, followed by the C43, and now we have the C32, the hot-rod version of Mercedes' new C-class. Don't let the lesser number confuse you into thinking AMG has gone soft. The implication that the new C32 is somehow inferior to the C43 can be dismissed right now. It's a sensitive issue, one that's directly responsible for AMG's adding an oversized V-6 Kompressor badge to the flanks. The theory being that a V-6 plus a supercharger elevates the C32 beyond the V-8 powered C43 to bring real street credibility to Mercedes' latest supersedan. The badges are totally out of character with the C32's discreet appearance. Leave the performance to do the talking, which is far more convincing, as the C32 is a compelling orator."

Truth is, a supercharger is nothing more than a large air pump that can provide greater than atmospheric pressure (boost) to an engine. When was the last time you thought of an air pump as exotic? With help from the folks at Weiand and Holley, this three-part series will cover the relationship between compression ratio and boost level, and provide guidelines for choosing the right supercharger based on these factors. We’ll also offer recommendations for engine upgrades based on desired boost and horsepower levels. For now, we’ll start with an overview of superchargers, including blower styles and basic terminology. Supercharging 101: How a Supercharger Works To review, superchargers are simply air pumps that pack more air into your engine cylinders. As the superchargers compress and cram more air and fuel into the engine, the combustion charge becomes more potent, and the engine can produce more power and torque."

"text": "How to Maintain Supercharged Cars February 10, 2012Comments Email Supercharged cars run on the same basic principals as any other motor vehicle, but you would be mistaken to say that they aren't any different. Power-adders like superchargers subject the engine to extra stress, and therefore extra precautions should be taken to ensure that the car is maintained in good working order. With some performance car maintenance, a supercharged car can offer a long, trouble-free service life. Here are some particular things to pay attention to if you happen to have a supercharged car. Engine Oil Superchargers function by forcing extra air into the engine to create more power. Forced induction creates more extreme conditions inside the motor itself, and therefore puts extra stress on the engine. Make sure that you follow your manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule and check your oil frequently to make sure your car is protected. Coolant and Temperature Supercharged cars are extra reliant on their cooling system to keep them at an acceptable temperature. Have the condition of your coolant checked frequently and follow the recommended replacement schedule. Make sure that you keep an eye on your temperature gauge at all times."

"text": "\"The Importance of Line Filter Capacitors in Tube Radios: Your vintage tube radio needs proper line filter capacitors to sound good and to operate reliably and safely. These important capacitors are called line filter capacitors because they are used to filter-out /remove RF (radio frequency) line disturbance and interference picked up by your home power lines. Line filter capacitors also help to keep you safe from nasty (possible fatal) electrical shocks, by isolating the “hot” side of your 120 volt power line from your radios chassis. Noise interference is picked up in power lines from all kinds of household appliances such as washers & dryers, electric shavers, refrigerator motors, fans, air conditioners, light dimmers, lawn mowers, etc. Line filter capacitors pass noise interference ground (rather than your ears). Back in the good old days (when you tube radio was made) there was a lot less interference as there were far fewer electrical appliances in a typical home. Also, safety standards were no where near as strict as they are today …and, of course, safety capacitors had not been invented. If tube radios were manufactured today in 2004, AC rated line filter safety capacitors would be required. The capacitors that filter out interference from the 110-120 volt AC (alternating current) power coming from your wall plug go by a number of names. The general term for these capacitors is AC Line Filter Capacitor or AC Interference Suppression Capacitor."

Noise is suppressed due to frequency properties of a capacitor or an induction coil. Let's consider how a capacitor filter suppresses high-frequency noise. The capacitor is connected between the signal track and the grounding point of the device. As far as the frequency increases, the capacitor's impedance reduces. As noise is primarily high-frequency in nature, the capacitor carries off noise to the grounding point. Such filters may use common capacitors. You can select required capacity to cut out noise within the preset frequency band. However, the higher frequency is, the poorer performance will be. The reason for it is spurious inductance of a capacitor's leads."

Updated Jan 15, 2015 · Upvoted by Tom Mc Namara, Ph D EECS · Author has 3.2k answers and 13.1m answer views Alternating current passes through a capacitor, while DC is blocked by a capacitor. Conversely, DC is passed by a choke, while AC is blocked. At least, that's the simple answer. This is used very often in electronics. In a digital circuit, most every IC will have one or more bypass capacitors, strung between power and ground. The DC component of that power rail goes into the chip, while the AC component -- otherwise known as noise when found on a DC power supply -- sees the cap as an short circuit to ground. The effectiveness of a cap passing AC depends on the value of the cap, the quality of the cap (since all capacitors, while designed as capacitors, also exhibit a certain amount of resistance and inductance), and the frequency of the AC signal. Every real world capacitor has a characteristic resonant frequency, above which the effect of that parasitic inductor starts to dominate. That's bad if you're using caps for, say, coupling RF or high speed signals like PCI Express between circuit stages since, as metioned, chokes block AC.3.3k Views · View Upvoters Related Questions More Answers Below Why does a capacitor block DC but pass AC?"

Corona discharges represent a significant power loss for electric utilities. The corona discharge around a high-voltage coil A corona discharge is an electrical discharge brought on by the ionization of a fluid such as air surrounding a conductor that is electrically charged. Spontaneous corona discharges occur naturally in high-voltage systems unless care is taken to limit the electric field strength. A corona will occur when the strength ( potential gradient) of the electric field around a conductor is high enough to form a conductive region, but not high enough to cause electrical breakdown or arcing to nearby objects. It is often seen as a bluish (or other color) glow in the air adjacent to pointed metal conductors carrying high voltages, and emits light by the same property as a gas discharge lamp. In many high voltage applications corona is an unwanted side effect. Corona discharge from high voltage electric power transmission lines constitutes an economically significant waste of energy for utilities."

I don’t know about you, but that sentence didn’t make me any wiser when I was starting out with electronics. I like to answer the question of “how does a capacitor work?” by saying that a capacitor works like a tiny rechargeable battery with very very very low capacity."

Answered Sep 12, 2017Capacitor is a device designed to hold capacitance, Capacitor was historically first known as an electric condenser. Capacitance is the ability to store energy in the form of an electric charge. The SI unit of quantity of electric charge is the coulomb, which is equivalent to about 6.242×1018 e. How a capacitor works Capacitor is consist of two conductors ( plates ) which are separated by insulator ( dielectric). A capacitor stores energy when it is connected to a voltage source such as a battery or any other source, current flows until the capacitor becomes charged to the same voltage as the source connected to it. An ideal capacitor is sufficiently characterized by a constant capacitance C, defined as the ratio of a positive or negative charge Q on each conductor to the voltage V between them C = Q / VWhen you apply a voltage over the two plates, an electric field is created. Positive charge will collect on one plate and negative charge on the other. And this is what the physicists mean when they say that “ a capacitor works by storing energy electrostatically in an electric field”An ideal capacitor is sufficiently characterized by a constant capacitance C, defined as the ratio of a positive or negative charge Q on each conductor to the voltage V between them C = Q / VDischarging a capacitor Usea register to discharge a capacitor slowly, so it is not damaged.

Read this article to learn more about what a surgical assistant does, including the education and certification required. Schools offering Nursing degrees can also be found in these popular choices . Duties and Responsibilities Surgical assistants help surgeons do their jobs safely and effectively. They may assist with any surgical discipline, such as neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery, trauma surgery, or plastic surgery. Surgical assistants determine what equipment is needed for any given surgical procedure. They ensure that any necessary X-rays or tools are ready and confirm the correct surgery with the doctor. They help to prepare the patient for the operation by positioning the patient, placing sterile surgical drapes, and perhaps even inserting or removing a catheter."

That is where you would have a better shot of getting reimbursed for the schooling. They do mostly similar things as it is though I don't know all the specifics. If you were to do that though, usually you have to work for a year or two as an RN before getting into a program. I think you also have to do the bachelors in nursing, you cant get an associates in nursing and become an NP. As for PA, my friends who have done it had biology degrees.

"text": "The main role of the surgical assistant is to provide support to a surgeon during operations. In addition, they typically also have duties to perform both before and after surgery. These types of health care careers are ideal for people who want to be involved in caring for patients during surgery, but who do not want the high-pressure job of the surgeon. Prior to surgery, the surgical assistant may be required to set up the operating room by assembling all of the instruments that will be needed during the procedure, and by checking equipment to ensure it works correctly. They may also help prepare patients for surgery. Finally, they must also review the procedure and ensure that paperwork and permits are completed. During a procedure, the surgical assistant will work closely with a surgeon or surgical nurse, usually working directly under the surgeon’s or nurse’s supervision. During the procedure, they have responsibilities pertaining to both the patient and surgeon. They must monitor the patient’s condition and vital signs to ensure they are physically coping with the surgery, and must also be attentive to the needs of the surgeon, and provide them with the instruments and equipment they need. Other assistance, such as cutting sutures, helping retract or clamp tissue, and closing and dressing wounds, is done as needed, and at the surgeon’s direction."

Nursing February 24, 2015Your responsibilities as a surgical nurse, also referred to as a perioperative nurse, will vary according to the role you play in the operating room. Professionals who work in this area can assume one of three main positions: scrub nurse, circulating nurse or RN first assistant. To a lesser extent, the duties of a perioperative nurse will vary within their surgical subcategory, such as cardiac surgery, dental surgery or trauma. One of the advantages of nursing is that you can choose the area that interests you the most. Scrub Nurse In this nursing role, you will prepare the operating room for the patient, setting up the tools and making sure the field is sterile. Scrub nurses assist the surgical team by donning sterile masks, gloves and gowns as well as aid the physician by passing instruments during surgery. Following the operation, the job involves clearing away the tools and preparing the patient for transport to the recovery room. Circulating Nurse The circulating nurse has a different role, as they work outside the sterile field and do not participate in the surgery. Your duties in this position are set at a broader perspective, whichi focuses on maintaining a safe and comfortable environment."

A baby born via ART is sometimes referred to as a test tube baby. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the definition of ART includes all fertility treatments in which both sperm and eggs are handled. In general ART procedures involve removing eggs surgically from a woman's ovaries and combining them with sperm in the laboratory and then returning them to the woman's body, or donating them to another woman. They do NOT include treatments where only sperm is handled such as artificial insemination, or the use of fertility drugs to stimulate egg production without the intention of having the eggs surgically removed. ART has been used since 1981 in the United States, most commonly in vitro fertilization (IVF). Deciding whether to undergo one of these expensive treatments can be difficult.

To become a surgical tech, it's usually only a year. I believe it's a certificate program, not a degree. And I recommend that if you know you want to be in the OR and you want to assist with surgery, go for the surgical tech. Nurses have pretty much been phased out from actually assisting the surgeon. Surgical techs are the ones who are usually up close to the surgery and hand instruments and prepare the sterile field and what not. Nurses observe and monitor for complications, get things for the surgery that aren't in the room, assist if there's an emergency, and document the process (it sounds easy but it's not)! I personally hated the OR. Too cold and boring and the patient's asleep... so yeah, if you want to be in the OR and that's the only place you want to be, go for surg tech.

For example, services billed with the assistant at surgery modifier are paid 16 percent of the PFS amount for that service; therefore, the utilization file is modified to only account for 16 percent of any service that contains the assistant at surgery modifier. Similarly, for those services to which volume adjustments are made to account for the payment modifiers, time adjustments are applied as well. For time adjustments to surgical services, the intraoperative portion in the work time file is used; where it is not present, the intraoperative percentage from the payment files used by contractors to process Medicare claims is used instead. Where neither is available, we use the payment adjustment ratio to adjust the time accordingly. Table 2 details the manner in which the modifiers are applied.

"text": "Surgical assistants and surgical techs are on their feet a lot. Both surgical assistants and surgical technologists need a cool head to work in the stressful environment of the operating room. Although hospitals employ most assistants and techs, some work in doctors' offices, outpatient centers and dental offices. The two jobs have a lot in common, but surgical assisting requires more training. However, you can start as a technologist and use the career as a stepping stone to surgical assisting. Roles A surgical technologist doesn't do any cutting. Her major duties include getting the operating room and equipment ready, sterilizing instruments and handing over supplies to the doctors. Her work with patients is typically limited to moving them, washing and disinfecting the skin and applying drapes and dressings. A surgical assistant does these tasks, but she also need medical skills. She may insert urinary catheters, help move tissues and internal organs during surgery, insert drains and help with resuscitation."

Surgical technologists are members of the surgical team. The members of the team include the surgeon, surgeon's assistant, circulator nurse and anesthesia provider. They possess knowledge and skills in sterile and aseptic techniques. There are few mandatory professional requirements for surgical technologists, and the scope of practice varies widely across countries and jurisdictions. Surgical technologists attend junior colleges and technical schools, and many are trained in military schools. In the military they perform the duties of both the circulator and the scrub. The goal is for surgical technologists to be able to anticipate the next move the surgeon is going to make in order to make the procedure as smooth and efficient as possible. They do this by having knowledge of hundreds of surgical procedures and the steps the surgeon needs to take in order to complete the procedure, including the very wide range of surgical instruments they may need.

Typically, most technologists certify with the National Board of Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting or the National Center for Competency Testing. The NBSTSA runs a certified surgical technologist, or CST, program; the NCCT offers the tech in surgery certified, or TS-C, credential. To maintain these certifications, you must follow each organization's renewal regulations, proving your ongoing expertise with continuing education credits or an exam. CST Certification Renewal The NBSTSA requires you to renew your CST certification every four years. You can start this process up to six months before your credential runs out. If you have earned enough continuing education credits during your certification period, you can use these to re-certify. As of February 2014, you need 60 credits to renew a CST credential. If you do not have enough credits, you must pass the CST exam again. The fees for recertification vary depending on whether you use education credits or take the exam."

Ophthalmic medical technologist can perform all the duties of ophthalmic assistants and ophthalmic technicians. This means their role can pertain to taking patient medical history, instructing patients on procedures or medications, taking basic tests on visual acuity, lensometry, and tonometry, as well as administering drugs. Ophthalmic medical technologists also see an increase in administrative responsibilities, with leadership roles over ophthalmic medical personnel and more patient interaction. With their advanced knowledge and years of training, ophthalmic medical technologists are in charge of taking care of more detailed tasks by ophthalmologists, due to the trust level. They also assist with minor surgical procedures and are required to understand aseptic techniques and instrument preparation. Improved knowledge in areas including ocular mobility, color vision, visual fields, digital imaging, and tonometry allow ophthalmic medical technologists to complete special duties. This extra training allows ophthalmic medical technologists to help in cases of glaucoma and low vision, test color vision for amblyopia, create ophthalmic imaging, and calculate basic corrections for refractive errors.

What is a Surgical Assistant? Although the titles of surgical technologist and surgical assistant are sometimes used interchangeably in the medical field, there are significant differences between them, as well as several alternative names for each. Let’s compare surgical assistant vs. technician duties and education paths. Occasionally, the term surgical technician is used to denote someone who has primarily on-the-job training, with little to no supplemental education, whereas a surgical technologist has earned his or her degree from an accredited program. Surgical Assistants Surgical assistants are also members of the operating room team. These professionals can do all the work that surgical technologists do, but they often have a more hands-on role during the procedure. Surgical assistants help the surgeon with tasks such as these: Sponging Suturing Suctioning Holding retractors Hemostasis (staunching bleeding)Treating wounds Surgical assistants are also referred to as first assistants or non-physician surgical assistants. Some surgical assistants step into the job after earning a surgical assistant degree from a certified program, while others begin as surgical technologists and receive additional training on the job to work their way up to a first assistant position.

There are prerequisites in undergraduate training and four years of medical school required along with post-graduate training requiring five years to complete. Various rotations are usually completed during the first year of postgraduate studies although it can have a preliminary internship in either medicine or surgery. This preliminary year is followed by a diagnostic radiology residency requiring four years for completion. The four year residency consists of an exam for the medical physics board which will entail both science and technology involved in the various diagnostic tests utilized in the field of radiology. There must be a basic knowledge of radiobiology which studies the radiations affects on the body's tissue. There are opportunities for radiology training available at colleges, universities and hospitals. There are certificates, associates and bachelor's degrees for radiology. What does a Radiologist do? While radiology was once thought of as simply taking and interpreting X-rays the field has become far more advanced; today the Radiologist uses medial imaging technology to assist them in the diagnosis and treatment of illnesses."

They keep patients safe and the tools sterile and make sure anesthesiologists and surgeons have the tools they need to do their job. Becoming a surgical tech isn't nearly as difficult as becoming a doctor, but you can't exactly waltz straight from high school into the OR, either. Be prepared to get a certificate or degree, pass muster in an internship and earn some credentials. The right skills will help, as well. Education You’ll need to invest time and effort in higher education. A full 95 percent of surgical techs as of 2012 had at least some college, according to the U. S. Department of Labor. You can choose from a one-year certificate program or a two-year associate degree. And forget about coasting through on easy electives, like basket weaving or gym class."

It relates to claims for damages for dilapidations against tenants at the termination of a tenancy. These are generally referred to as terminal dilapidations claims. There is a separate Pre-Action Protocol for Housing Disrepair cases.1.2This protocol sets out conduct that the court would normally expect prospective parties to follow prior to the commencement of proceedings. It establishes a reasonable process and timetable for the exchange of information relevant to a dispute, sets standards for the content and quality of schedules and Quantified Demands and, in particular, the conduct of pre-action negotiations.1.3If the landlord or tenant does not seek professional advice from a surveyor they should still, in so far as reasonably possible, fully comply with the terms of this protocol. In this protocol ‘surveyor’ is intended to encompass reference to any other suitably qualified person.1.4This protocol does not define ‘dilapidations’, ‘repair’, ‘reinstatement’or ‘redecoration’. Work to property which may be required will depend on the contractual terms of the lease and any other relevant documents.1.5Where the court considers non-compliance, and the sanctions to impose where it has occurred, it will, amongst other things, be concerned about whether the parties have complied in substance with the relevant principles and requirements and is not likely to be concerned with minor or technical shortcomings (see paragraphs 4.3 to 4.5 of the Practice Direction on Pre-Action Conduct). Back to top of page2 Overview of Protocol – General Aim2.1The protocol’s objectives are:2.1.1to encourage the exchange of early and full information about the dispute;2.1.2to enable the parties to avoid litigation by agreeing a settlement of the dispute before proceedings are commenced; and2.1.3to support the efficient management of proceedings where litigation cannot be avoided.2.2A flow chart is attached at Annex A, which shows each of the stages that the parties are expected to undertake before the commencement of proceedings. Back to top of page THE PROTOCOLBack to top of page3 The schedule of dilapidations (schedule)3.1The landlord should send the tenant a schedule in the form attached at either Annex B or C. It should set out what the landlord considers to be the breaches, the works required to be done to remedy those breaches and, if relevant, the landlord's costings.3.2Breaches should be separated into relevant categories e.g. repair, reinstatement, redecoration etc. They should be listed separately in the schedule and should (where appropriate) identify any notices served by the landlord requiring reinstatement works to be undertaken.3.3Schedules should be sent within a reasonable time."

Davis NAMS-CMS, cites statistics gathered from Insurance company boat claims that suggest you may need one. The data indicated that 54% of all boat damage is a result of operator error. What might have happen to your dream boat? But I thought boats were built to 'standards', so why do I need a survey? That is true. There are federal regulations and there are ABYC (American Boat and Yacht Council, Inc) voluntary Standards and Recommended Practices. In fact in the same MACM 96 paper the author found only about 3% of boat damages are related to a manufacturer defect. However let's look at the other side of the coin.

"text": "Responsibilities and Liabilities of Marine Surveyors Published on May 19, 2016Sign in to like this article9Sign in to comment on this article0Share3Meredith Morgan Follow Sign in to follow this author Vice President (Audit Standards) at UK BUREAU OF CERTIFICATIONS LIMITEDMarine surveyors are greatly relied upon by the marine community to perform a wide range of tasks including: Advising purchasers, underwriters and lending institutions on the condition and valuation of vessels;advising vessel owners on how to recover or salvage a vessel in distress;monitoring the salvage of vessels in distress for the benefit of underwriters;acting as the eyes and ears of underwriters with respect to the cause, nature and effect of losses;supervising the repair of vessels which have been damaged; andproviding expert opinions to be tendered in court on matters within their field of expertise. One of the unfortunate side effects of this broad reliance which is placed upon marine surveyors is that as soon as something goes wrong, they are often the first to be blamed. The purpose of this paper is to review the legal principals underlying the legal liability of marine surveyors and provide some examples of how these principles have been or could be applied to the different functions performed by surveyors. Liability in Contract and Negligence Generally speaking, marine surveyors are exposed to liability under both the law of contract and the law of negligence. The exposure of a marine surveyor to liability under the law of contract will vary depending upon the terms of the individual contract between the surveyor and his customer. However, courts will generally be prepared to imply a term into the contract that the survey will be conducted by the surveyor with the degree of skill and competence which is generally exercised by marine surveyors doing the type of survey which was requested. Since marine surveyors for the most part act in an advisory capacity, the law of negligence as it is applied to marine surveyors is generally based upon the law with respect to negligent statements. This additional basis of liability is significant because it exposes marine surveyors to liability to persons other than the persons who retain them. In order to impose liability for a negligent statement, there are five requirements:there must be a duty of care based on a ‘special relationship’ between the representor (surveyor) and the representee;the representation in question must be untrue, inaccurate, or misleading;the representor must have acted negligently in making the representation;the representee must have relied, in a reasonable manner, on the negligent misrepresentation; andthe reliance must have been detrimental to the representee in the sense that damages resulted. The exposure of marine surveyors to liability in both contract and tort varies depending upon the function which they are performing."

They can be costly, not worth the paper they are written on, and hold you up buying your home. But having a survey can also mean avoiding a lot of expense and stress – if you are smart about it What is a mortgage valuation? Mortgage valuations are not surveys – they are just cursory looks at a property to assess how much it is worth, with a note about any major works that might be necessary and would affect its value If you get a mortgage, the lending company will insist on using people they trust to conduct the mortgage valuation, to ensure the property is sufficient security for the loan You will usually have to pay for this, though some lenders will cover some of the costs for you, especially if they are trying to attract your custom. Some lenders allow you to add the cost of the valuation onto your mortgage and pay it off over time Valuations can be shockingly expensive given that so little work is involved in doing them, but buyers have no choice but to get them Different lenders can charge very different amounts for mortgage valuations. But, while you should be aware of the valuation costs, you should not choose a worse value mortgage based on saving a few hundred pounds. A lower interest rate will save you far more in the long run Particularly in a difficult property market, mortgage valuations are often incredibly cautious, putting a deliberately low value on the property. This is to reduce risk for the mortgage company, but can cause problems for homebuyers if the value says the property is not worth what they are paying for it So, what is a survey? A survey is intended to be a detailed inspection of a property’s condition."

"text": "Boundary Surveying Why do you need a boundary survey? Boundary surveying allows you to see the exact boundary of what you are buying or selling. Boundary surveying can determine if there are any easements for utilities such as water, sewer, drainage ways, power lines, etc. on your property. Boundary surveying identifies any encroachments like driveways, fences or buildings on the property or crossing any of your boundary lines. Boundary surveying 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 flood elevation survey done as part of your boundary survey will determine if you are in a floodplain. Boundary surveying 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. A property survey is the first step in being able to subdivide your property to divide it among family members."

That said, we have done it many times It is more likely that a mortgage will be required, and there will be a chain of transactions, and if that is the case it will usually take 4-6 weeks to exchange contracts and then another 2-4 weeks between exchange of contracts and completion making a total of 6-10 weeks from start to finish. All of our solicitors and staff will do everything they can to progress your transaction as quickly as possible, but we cannot offer any guarantee about how long it will take – and you should not believe anyone that does! If clients have a particular timescale in mind, especially if there is a specific reason such as emigrating, or moving to a new job, we recommend that clients say so as early as possible, as there is always the opportunity to put forward a \"\"target\"\" completion date to help concentrate everyone’s minds How soon do I need to pay any money? If you are purchasing a property, we will ask you for approximately £350.00 at the beginning to cover initial work including search fees that will be paid out on your behalf. The balance of the price and the solicitors costs will be payable shortly before completion unless you are borrowing more than 90% of the purchase price, in which case it may be required prior to exchange of contracts. If you are just selling, you may not need to pay any money in advance. Any mortgage, as well as costs and estate agents fees, will be paid out from the sale proceeds on completion before any balance is sent to you. Do I need a survey?"

Many chartered surveyors are lone operators or part of small consultancies, with 2 or 3 other property specialists. When that’s the case salary really is defined by home much work you want to take on. Larger consultancies frequently have turnovers well in to 7 figures. Geography also plays a role.

"text": "Boundary Surveying Why do you need a boundary survey? 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. A boundary survey is the first step in being able to subdivide your property to divide it among family members."

"text": "\"What is a land survey? In the simplest terms, it's a graphic depiction of a property, much like a map, outlining its legal boundaries and other features. While land surveys typically aren't required during real estate transactions, they're extremely useful tools that can clear up a whole lot of confusion. Here's what you need to know about land surveys and how they can come in handy. How are land surveys made? Surveyors lay out the exact dimensions of a property by using your home's deed, which should include a description or map of your property line. Unfortunately, these descriptions can be hazy and might use outdated landmarks such as trees that have long since disappeared. For that reason, a surveyor will physically measure the land as well. \"\" GPS is one of the possible tools we use when completing a survey,\"\" says Robert Sandlin, a land surveyor in Missouri and Kansas with Shafer, Kline & Warren. But the individual survey will dictate the appropriate tool."

HOW DOES A SURVEYOR FIND THE CORNERS OF MY PROPERTY? If your property is located within a subdivision: We use the Brass Cap Monuments set by the developer when the final plat for your subdivision was filed with the Maricopa County Recorder (M. C. R.). These monuments are usually located in the center of an intersection or in the centerline of the road, where the road curves. Our surveyor uses the bearings (N 23°15' 30? E) and distances (141.39') from these monuments to locate the precise corners of your lot. It is interesting to note that a surveyor measures the distance in feet and decimals of a foot, not inches."

"docid": "D1168319#0",
"title": "http://performancelifts.com/leveling-kits.html\nLeveling Kits",
"text": "\"Leveling Kits Leveling kits have become very popular with Truck and SUV owners that don't want or need a big 6\"\" or taller suspension lift. A common point of confusion is that almost all Leveling Kits are in fact a suspension lift. Most Leveling Kits will provide between 1\"\" inch and 3\"\" inches of suspension lift and this will vary from vehicle to vehicle. A question we receive almost every day is \"\"how much lift does my vehicle need to achieve a level stance?\"\" Because no two vehicles are exactly the same the answer we give is it will always depend on the vehicle itself. For instance, the 2004-2007 Nissan Titan trucks require a different amount to sit level than the newer 2008+ models do. A Ram 1500 Crew Cab truck with a V8 engine may need a taller Leveling Kit than a Ram 1500 Standard Cab truck with a V6 does. And that is why we offer so many different Leveling Kit options! Unless you know exactly how much lift your vehicle needs your best bet is to simply contact us. We can be reached by telephone at (949) 629-3017 or via our website \"\"ASK A QUESTION\"\" feature."

The simple answer is that there is no such thing!I know we have probably given more information here than most people wanted, but even this only scratches the surface of the available information and variables that need to be considered when contemplating optimum wheel alignment settings. The most important thing and something we can not stress enough is the fact that alignment settings are NOT an \"\"absolute truth\"\" that can be held up as an undisputed rule. It is a dynamic process with the \"\"correct value\"\" varying from driver to driver, car to car not to mention the driving environment. DYNAMIC & STATIC – WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? Typically used when discussing wheel alignment and geometry. By this, Whiteline are referring to the difference in alignment angles between a stationary and a moving vehicle. That is, the same vehicle will typically have different caster, camber and toe readings when it is moving compared to when the alignment was done in static form in the workshop. In an ideal world, all wheel alignments would be done on a dynamic wheel aligner but these are expensive and quite rare. This concept is very important, as the only suspension angles that really matter are those present while the vehicle is moving (dynamic)."

"text": "How to Choose & Buy a Lift Kit Feb 08 2012, 3:55am Well, you’ve decided that it is time to give your truck a new look. Whether it is because you don’t like the way it sits (what most would refer to as ‘rake’, nose down; ass up), maybe you want to put a little bit larger tire underneath her, or just because you have in excess of $3000 burning a hole in your pocket (I know that sounds like an exorbitant amount of money, but I’ll explain as we go on). Choosing the lift kit system is dramatically dependent upon your budget, and you have to keep that in mind when deciding your final outcome, e.g. price of replacement tires, suspension (wear & tear), wheels (if applicable), price of gas, etc. You also need to decide whether or not you want to park your truck in your garage; if you put enough lift under it, you can forget about fitting that truck in the garage. In Oklahoma, we have these things that drop out of the sky called tornadoes, and they don’t just shuffle baseball-sized hail, they may shuffle your next door neighbor’s Prius into your front seat…just something to consider. Of course, friends don’t let friends drive a Prius, but that’s another story. Leveling Kits Pros: • Get a little more air under your truck for a larger tire • Inexpensive • Anyone with any mechanical skills could do it without having a heart attack or headache • Pre 2007 – allows for steering geometrics to remain the same as well as ride Cons: • Mileage (only applicable when increasing tire size) • Additional cost of alignment (the process of lifting the front end will change the camber; you MUST have the vehicle aligned as soon as possible) Let’s say you just want to remove the ‘rake’ look from your truck AND you don’t want to spend a whole lot of time, money, and/or effort. You want the truck to set level; front and rear are at an even height. This is what many people like to do just for that ‘level look’ or so they can put a little bit larger set of tires underneath their vehicle. In most cases, as with the 2007 & up Chevy or GMC C/K1500, this will allow for a tire that is 33” tall as long as you don’t go wild and add a 10” wide wheel."

Whichever height you choose, we’ve got you covered. What Type of Leveling Kit is Best for Me? Unlike the variety of factors that go into choosing a lift kit, choosing a leveling kit mostly depends on what type of suspension you have and whether or not you’re willing to replace the factory suspension parts. Lift Kit Type Description Application Coil Spring Spacer These spacers are added to the upper or lower spring seats. Depending on the height of your leveling kit, some coil spring spacers may come with shock extensions to accommodate the added lift. This type of kit does require that you remove your current springs to attach the spacer before placing it back into your suspension. Vehicles with coil springs.

"text": "Choosing the Right Coilover Written By Don Creason – Rodauthority.com Not all hot rods are created equal, and neither are their suspension systems. With each rod build being a statement of the owner’s personality and preferences, you’d be hard pressed to find two rods that are the same. That’s part of what makes our hobby and this passion that we share so interesting. With those previous statements in mind, it stands to reason that a cookie cutter or one-size-fits-all approach to components on your car may not always be the ideal way of building it to get the most out of your suspension and handling. The suspension system is one area where many classics and customs fall victim to that approach, specifically when it comes to their springs and shocks. Although it looked good, our 1937 Ford Street Rod rode like a log wagon and handled just as poorly. Suspension manufacturers do their best to engineer components for mass production. Custom tailoring parts for each application can be costly and from the perspective of a company that may build thousands of systems a year, it can also be prohibitive from a supply and demand standpoint as well. As such, many suspension systems come with that one-size-fits-all approach or at the most, there are limited options when a customer is ordering. The result of all this is often a car that has neither the correct shocks or springs to give it the best ride and handling characteristics specific to its exact weight and setup, which can greatly affect your enjoyment of the finished product."

"text": "\"Home Buying Guides Car & Truck Parts Suspension & Steering Lift Kits & Parts Your Guide to Buying a Lift Kit for Truckse Bay 5 Likes Like March 3, 2016While it seems like almost anyone and everyone owns a truck or SUV, few people really maximize its potential. After all, trucks were built not just to haul and transport things from one place to another, but also to traverse rough terrain. Off-roading is a fun activity that all truck owners can participate in, provided they have the proper equipment. Not all trucks that roll off the lot are ready to climb steep hills or run through muddy rivers, and one accessory any off-roader needs on his or her truck is a lift kit. This document will serve as a definitive buying guide for people who want to buy a lift kit for their trucks. First, the definition of lift kit will be discussed, followed by a list of reasons why people install such devices on their vehicles. When shopping for lift kits, buyers should know the different types of lift kits. Finally, buyers should consider a few things that may affect their truck and how they drive, and buyers should carefully consider these before installing a lift kit on their trucks. Definition of a Lift Kit Many truck and SUV manufacturers today market their products as rough-and-tumble vehicles, sometimes even going as far as showing their trucks splashing through muddy mountain roads and running through streams and rivers in magazine and TV advertisements. The truth is that many of these trucks being sold to consumers aren't really ready for such conditions."

"text": "\"Four Ways to Lift Your Truck for Less Posted by Mike Levine | July 23, 2010By Dan Sanchez for Pickup Trucks.com Truck owners are always looking for ways to improve the appearance and performance of their vehicles. Raising the ride height is one of the most popular upgrades, as it allows you to add larger-diameter wheels and tires without any rubbing or contact against the vehicle’s fenders. A slightly taller truck with some aftermarket all-terrain or mud-terrain tires not only looks great, but it can also dramatically add to ride comfort and improve traction in a variety of road conditions. Heavy-duty and work trucks can also benefit from being lifted, as bigger tires often carry an increased load rating, which can improve the ride and safety when hauling heavy tools or cargo, and for vehicles that constantly tow a trailer. There are many methods to raise a pickup that range in price from under $100 for simple coil spacers to well over $3,000 for a full suspension system. For the average truck enthusiast, a low-budget method is always the first choice. Here are the best low-cost methods to lift your pickup that won't void your truck's warranty, yet still give your vehicle the amount of ride height it needs to add the tires and wheels you want. Torsion Keys Aftermarket torsion keys can add 1 to 1.5 inches of ride height on pickups with a torsion bar suspension system. But unlike the factory torsion keys, these forged keys from Trail Master Suspension don’t add more spring preload and can provide a smoother ride. Many four-wheel-drive trucks use a torsion bar suspension system."

"text": "\"What is the best length shock for my 4WD suspension lift kit? Long-travel shocks Daily, we get calls and emails from people that go like this: \"\"I've got a (- insert your vehicle here -) with a 3\"\" lift kit, and I'm chasing shocks that extend out 3 inches more than original, but compress down to the same amount as the factory shocks...\"\" It's not an unreasonable question. I can see the logic here. Unfortunately, the logic is wrong. Firstly, let's assume that the vehicle with a 3\"\" suspension lift kit, will benefit from 3\"\" longer shocks. ( more about this in a minute). You can't have a shock absorber that is 3 inches greater in the extended length compared to original, yet compresses down to the same length (body length) of the original shock. This is because the shock body (which is your compressed length) must be greater in order to allow for the greater extended length (rod length). Memorise this. The body length of the shock must also be greater in order to provide the greater extended length."

Follow Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The cost to install a lift on your truck will vary greatly depending on a couple things. Suspension or body lift? Body lifts are much easier to install, but require some extending of steering columns, etc, depending on what make of truck you have. The maximum body lift you should use is 3\"\". A suspension lift will be more involved as far as installation goes. A suspension lift will require some extra work after installation, as you'll need an alignment, and the lift's bolts will need to be retorqued after some time, as the suspension will settle a bit.. Will you need new tires? Maybe, maybe not."

Typically, leveling kits are the unsung heroes of vehicle performance: a finished painting that is complete in every way, but hangs on your wall slightly crooked. This is where truck leveling kits step in to do their part. Problem is, however, that leveling kits are truck parts that fly relatively under the radar. Sure, most people know their general purpose and premise behind them, but rarely does someone know about the various types or appropriate application of truck leveling kits. Thus, we are pleased to bring you our resource guide for leveling kits.

While the peacock is a symbol of material manifestation, the swan stands for the ethereal. It represents the presence of divine inspiration in our world. The association of the swan with wisdom and creativity appears also among the Greeks who considered that bird related to the nine Muses. It is said that when Apollo was born at Delos, the event was marked with flights of circling swans. It is in the form of a swan that Zeus assaults Leda and in so doing, engenders the twins -- the Gemini -- Castor and Pollux, who hatched from eggs and also their sisters, the tormented Clytemnestra and the fatefully beautiful Helen, whose elopement with Paris is cause for the Trojan War.

Children also wonder about happiness and the beauty in nature. Because the Buddha knew what was in the hearts of children and human kind, he taught everyone how to live a happy and peaceful life.

The black swan is also of spiritual significance in the traditional histories of many Australian Aboriginal peoples across southern Australia. Metaphoric references to black swans have appeared in European culture since long before the real-life discovery of Cygnus atratus in Australia in the 18th century. The black swan is the official state emblem of Western Australia and is depicted on the flag of Western Australia, as well as being depicted on the Western Australian coat-of-arms.

Sacred figures and saints in biblical scenes and miracles depicted as ordinary people in every-day activities, e.g. Supper at Emmaeus by Caravaggio How Baroque art got its name? Baroque means irregularly-shaped pearl, derived from barocco in Portuguese, first used during the mid-1700s. Baroque art does not have any relation to pearls but the word was used as an epithet for a style that did not meet the great artistic standards of the preceding Renaissance era. Regardless of its origin, it carried connotations of “bizarre” and “absurd” when used by its critics who dismissed it as a decadent successor to the revered Renaissance movement."

You have come to the right place. On this page I will provide details of the source of the symbol and why Jimmy Page selected it. There has been lots of weird speculation about what the symbol means, such as the three-headed dog (Cerebus) that guards the gates to hell. No idle speculation here; just the facts and references so you can look the information up yourselves and draw your own conclusions. If you wish to leave any feedback please do so on the comments page (menu top right). This research was originally published on the inthelight.co.nz website. Led Zeppelin IV album The four symbols that appear in the site header was also the name of the fourth Led Zeppelin album, being one symbol for each band member (plus a fifth symbol for Sandy Denny who sung backing vocals on The Battle of Evermore track). Jimmy Page’s symbol = Saturn (ruler of Capricorn astrology sign)Robert Plant’s symbol = Truth or Courage John Paul Jones’ symbol = confidence and competence John Bonham’s symbol = the Trinity, or Father-Mother-Child Sandy Denny’s symbol = “an old symbol for the Godhead”Where did the symbols come from? When Jimmy Page was asked what his symbol meant he said that the band members selected them from a “standard reference book” of sigils (a sigil is a symbol used in magic) and suggested that interested people should go and look them up in a “standard reference text”."

"text": "Oct092010 by magic 0 Comments in Magical Creatures Familiars Familiars have always been recognised as a witch’s companion, an animal bird or creature that helps the witch with magic, it is not necessary to be a witch to have a familiar. Many people have pets that they feel intuitively linked to, non-witches are also able to have an astral-bodied creature that is unable to make contact in the physical realm. When people collect pictures or statues of a particular creature, they are actually subconsciously communicating with that creature and it is their familiar. A familiar is not owned by its companion, it uses freewill and intuition when its decision is made. Documented In ancient texts there was hysteria associated with familiars and some extreme and strange ideas, people thought that the familiar fed from the witch’s blood. Those who feared witches and witchcraft perpetuated these rumours. A cat or dog familiar will be very protective and if someone enters the home of the witch who the familiar feels shouldn’t be there, they will stare at the person until that person is so uncomfortable they leave. Over the centuries familiars have taken many forms, but no matter what their form their task is to assist the witch, the familiar helps with different types of magic, and helps direct manipulations of natural energies contained in stones, herbs, astrological aspects and in the four elements. There is the magic of spirits and the summoning of the energies of non corporeal beings, there is magic that needs the assistance of beings and magic that doesn’t. The familiar, whether astral or physical, can help to enhance the witch’s power, they are healers and guardians who can warn the witch of danger, or in the extreme defend the witch."

However, the Celts were groups of tribal people who inhabited not only Ireland, Wales, Scotland and England but also Europe and Asia Minor. They had complex and varied groups of societies and religious customs which varied widely from group to group. Because the ancient Celts did not leave many written records, much of our knowledge comes from second hand sources. These include the writings of Greek and Roman observers and Christian sources. These sources brought their own understandings, beliefs, prejudices and explanations to the information they provided. Seen as “barbarians” by many of these of observers, the Celts were fierce warriors. They were known as “quarrelsome”, “high-spirited” “proud” and “insolent” by some of their observers. This they may have been, but they were also highly skilled artisans, miners, builders, farmers and merchants."

"text": "Shiva-Lingam: What is Itby Stephen Knapp One thing you may be questioning is why Lord Shiva is so often represented as a lingam. Linga basically means a sign or symbol. So the lingam is essentially a symbol of the shapeless universal consciousness of Lord Shiva. “ Shiva” also means that in which the creation lies dormant after the annihilation. So, one explanation is that the lingam is a representative of the dormant universal consciousness in which all created things rest after the cosmic annihilation. It also represents the pradhana, the potential but unmanifest ingredients of the material world. Another explanation is that Shiva means auspicious. So the linga is the shapeless symbol for the great god of auspiciousness. It is intended to bring the shapeless unknown into our attention. The yoni upon which the lingam often sits represents the manifest universal energy."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Symbolist poetry)navigation search La Mort et le Fossoyeur (\"\"Death and the gravedigger\"\", c. 1895) by Carlos Schwabe is a visual compendium of symbolist motifs. The angel of Death, pristine snow, and the dramatic poses of the characters all express symbolist longings for transfiguration “anywhere, out of the world. ”Symbolism was a late nineteenth-century art movement of French, Russian and Belgian origin in poetry and other arts. In literature, the style originates with the 1857 publication of Charles Baudelaire 's Les Fleurs du mal. The works of Edgar Allan Poe, which Baudelaire admired greatly and translated into French, were a significant influence and the source of many stock tropes and images. The aesthetic was developed by Stéphane Mallarmé and Paul Verlaine during the 1860s and 1870s. In the 1880s, the aesthetic was articulated by a series of manifestos and attracted a generation of writers.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search La Mort et le Fossoyeur (\"\"Death and the gravedigger\"\", c. 1895) by Carlos Schwabe is a visual compendium of symbolist motifs. The angel of Death, pristine snow, and the dramatic poses of the characters all express symbolist longings for transfiguration “anywhere, out of the world. ”Symbolism was a late nineteenth-century art movement of French, Russian and Belgian origin in poetry and other arts. In literature, the style originates with the 1857 publication of Charles Baudelaire 's Les Fleurs du mal. The works of Edgar Allan Poe, which Baudelaire admired greatly and translated into French, were a significant influence and the source of many stock tropes and images. The aesthetic was developed by Stéphane Mallarmé and Paul Verlaine during the 1860s and 1870s. In the 1880s, the aesthetic was articulated by a series of manifestos and attracted a generation of writers.

Swan represents grace and beauty on many levels. It is associated with love, poetry and music. The swan was sacred to Venus, the love goddess in Roman mythology. The swan was often pictured singing to a lyre in Greek tradition. In Celtic tradition the Swan represents the Soul, our eternal essence. The Swan is one of the most ancient and powerful power animals. The Irish bards were both poets and musicians, and wore cloaks made with swan feathers. Also in the Irish tale about the Children of Lir, who were turned into swans and sang so sweetly that all who heard them were put at ease and slept peacefully. These 2 examples along with other Celtic legends of the humans shape shifting into swans highlights the deepest meaning of Swan medicine."

"text": "\"Humanities ›Religion & Spirituality The Spiritual Meaning of Birds Chirping at Night How God May Send Messages to You Through Birds Share Flipboard Email Print God may send messages through birds as angels, spirit guides, or totems. Public Domainby Whitney Hopler Updated August 04, 2017Birds have inspired human beings throughout history with their ability to rise above the Earth. Something about birds soaring through the air stirs our souls, motivating us to rise above our earthly concerns and learn more about a greater world beyond our Earth: the spiritual realm. Birds and angels share a special bond, as well, since both symbolize the beauty of spiritual growth and angels sometimes even choose to appear with wings, like birds. People sometimes see birds appear before them to deliver some type of spiritual messages. They may encounter angels manifesting in the form of a bird, see images of a beloved bird who has died and now they believe is acting as a spirit guide to them, or catch sight of bird images that symbolize something God wants to communicate to them (known as anima l totems). Or, they may receive extraordinary inspiration from God simply through their ordinary interactions with the birds in their lives. If you're open to receiving spiritual messages through birds, here's how God may use them to send messages to you: Angels Appearing as Birds Angels are associated with birds more than any other type of animal because angels who appear to humans in their heavenly glory sometimes feature wings. Wings symbolize both the spiritual covering of God's care for people and the freedom and empowerment people gain from spiritual growth. Sometimes, angels may even appear in the physical form of earthly birds, if doing so can help them best convey the messages God has given them to deliver to people."

"text": "\"Om, Aum, Pranava or Nada in Mantra and Yoga Traditionsby Jayaram VThe syllable Om 1, also known as Aum and Pranava, is the most sacred symbol of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism and Zoroastrianism. It is used both as a symbol and as a sound in religious worship, ritual chanting, performance of sacraments and rituals, yoga and tantra. In Hinduism it is venerated as Brāhman in the form of word (askshara) and sound (sabda). In actual practice it is rarely chanted in isolation and mostly in association with other mantras, prayers, names of gods and goddesses, either as a suffix or a prefix, under the belief that doing so would enhance their potency, vibrancy, sanctity and purity. According to Mantrayoga Samhita, Om by itself has no potency if it is chanted by someone who has not been initiated on the spiritual path by a guru. It remains ineffective as a vehicle of self-realization, unless it is personally imparted by an enlightened master (guru) to an initiate as a part of a seed (bija) mantra. A similar view is held by some modern sects like the Rahdasaomi Satsang. The Taittirya Samhita describes its use and significance in the Vedic rituals in the following manner:\"\"Aum is Brāhman. Aum is all. Aum, this verily, is compliance."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Sway bar)navigation search An anti-roll bar (in black) on the rear of a Porsche, which traverses the underside of the car. Flexible bushings attach it to the chassis. Also visible on the right is one of the links that connect the bar to the suspension (drop link). These twist the anti-roll bar when the vehicle is cornering, resisting body roll. An anti-roll bar ( roll bar, anti-sway bar, sway bar, stabilizer bar) is a part of many automobile suspensions that helps reduce the body roll of a vehicle during fast cornering or over road irregularities. It connects opposite (left/right) wheels together through short lever arms linked by a torsion spring. A sway bar increases the suspension's roll stiffness—its resistance to roll in turns, independent of its spring rate in the vertical direction. The first stabilizer bar patent was awarded to Canadian inventor Stephen Coleman of Fredericton, New Brunswick on April 22, 1919. [ 1] [2]Anti-roll bars were unusual on pre-war cars due to the generally much stiffer suspension and acceptance of body roll. From the 1950s on, however, production cars were more commonly fitted with anti-roll bars, especially those vehicles with softer coil spring suspension."

"text": "\"Controlling Sway Causes of poor tow-vehicle/travel-trailer handling may seem elusive, but remedies can be fairly simpleby Bill Estes Were it not for the tendency of many travel trailers to sway at least occasionally, the fifth-wheel trailer may not have grown so popular. Certainly, fifth-wheels have strong attributes. Travel trailers do, too, but the fifth-wheel does not, indeed, cannot sway. The travel trailer's Achilles' heel is the way it's hitched to the tow vehicle - at a point often four or five feet behind the axle. Thus, the trailer has the necessary leverage to move the tow vehicle's rear to one side or the other, which has the effect of steering the tow vehicle. This steering effect can go into oscillations, which are fondly known as fishtailing - another name for sway. By contrast, the fifth-wheel hitch pin is centered over the axle, unable to move laterally, which makes the fifth wheel trailer virtually immune to this motion. While many tow vehicle/travel trailer combinations handle quite well, and their owners greatly enjoy their travels, sway may occur in a substantial number of others, creating uneasiness, white-knuckle experiences or even accidents. The trauma is unnecessary because sway can be tightly controlled in most cases. Many owners of swaying travel trailers figure sway is the \"\"nature of the beast\"\" and just live with the reduced enjoyment of RVing that it produces."

Ditching the crosshair grille was a big deal. The Ram, and before it, the Dodge Ram, used the crosshairs up front since at least 1981. Even before that, several generations of the D-Series, the Ram’s predecessor, used it as well. In addition to the new grille, the reskinned Power Wagon gets new lighting and vertical graphics, 17-inch, 8-lug wheels with 33-inch Goodyear Dura Trac tires and a 12,000-pound Warn winch as standard equipment. For the first time, there are no ram’s head logos on the exterior, but if you're looking for a tell, the oversize block RAM letters on the tailgate are impossible to miss. The 410-hp, 429-lb-ft version of Chrysler’s 6.4-liter Hemi V8 continues to provide power to a six-speed automatic transmission, front and rear electronic locking differentials and all four wheels."

Mercedes-Benz sway bar bushings and links need to be replaced around 100,000 miles. As they wear and tear they tend to cause ratling and clunks when driving at low speeds. The main purpose of the sway bar is to avoid body roll. Due to the fact that the sway bar is connected to the suspention, every time you hit a bump it’s not only the strut or schock that takes the hit but also the sway bar bushings and links. Wonderig how a bad sway bar bushings looks? Here is an example: Picture of a damaged sway bar bushing, visible to the naked eye. How do you know you need your sway bushings and links replaced?

The straight part of the bar is mounted in bushings to the vehicle frame, while the ends, the lever arms, are connected to the suspension on each side of the vehicle with links. The end links also have bushings where they are fastened to the sway bar and suspension. While the sway bar itself can be damaged in a collision, the bushings are the common wear parts. When you turn a corner in your vehicle, more weight is transferred to the wheels on the outside of the turn, causing the body to lean. The suspension on the outside wheels is compressed, while the suspension at the inside wheels is unloaded. The unequal suspension heights impart a twisting motion to the sway bar."

There has been a lot of interest and questions regarding the install of the front sway bar specifically, more so than the rear, as the rear is fairly simple and straight forward. I don’t want to give off the wrong impression, while the front was definitely much more difficult and involved than the rear, all in all, it wasn’t as terrible as I was prepared for. Getting started, the first thing we needed to do was collect the necessary tools to perform this task. There wasn’t any special tools needed, other than the transmission jack we used to drop the sub-frame, but if you were to attempt this on the ground, you could use a floor jack to do the same thing. I could definitely see it being possible while having the car on the ground, although it would be a lot harder, fortunately, we have a lift. So, let’s get a list of tools you will need.1) Ratchets (we used both a ½ drive and a 3/8 drive ratchet 2) Sockets: 10mm, 12mm, 13mm, 14mm, 17mm, 19mm 3) Long extension (or a combination of shorter extensions) 4) 5mm allen wrench (to hold the end link stud) 5) Flat tip screwdriver 6) Transmission stand (or a floor jack if you’re on the ground) 7) Jack, or car lift 8) Jack stands (if on the floor)Now, we have all of our tools, should we get started on this fun filled project? I think so. We will need to remove the parts outlined in the image below."

What Is the Difference Between Shock Absorbers and Struts? What Are Car Struts? Full Answer During a sharp turn, the section of the car that is outside of the turn is forced downward, while the part of the car inside of the turn is forced upward. If the turn is fast enough, the wheels inside of the turn can potentially lift off of the road, which leads to the car flipping over. When the body of the car remains steady throughout a turn, all of the weight is evenly distributed throughout the tires. The way that stabilizer bars work is that they shift the turning force from one side of the car's body to the other."

I replaced all the steering components two years ago. I have upgraded the shocks and have added poly sway bar bushings. I have added a rear sway bar and plus-sized my rolling stock from 195/75r14 (14×6) to 205/60r15 (15×7). The handling is decent. Sumitomo HTR tires are fun. The rear sway bar does a good job planting the rear end and shedding 50lbs by removing the rear bumper has really made the handling come alive. So back to the story: 16 year old bushings can be blamed for the trouble I am having keeping the truck aligned. I have the truck aligned every Spring whether it needs it or not but last year I had to go back 3 times to have it “fine tuned”…and it’s still squirrelly and chewing up tires on the outside edge. The suspension has settled over the years so even when it’s ‘in spec’ on the rack it’s still not correct when on the road."

They want to see your biceps!This whole notion of flexing the biceps as a measure of anything, is completely ludicrous to me, but it is a reality. When someone asks me to flex, I ask them if they’d much rather discuss max effort PRs, perhaps dynamic powerlifting strategies, or better yet how to put together the most effective HIIT complexes.

I plan to change the fluid in the front differential soon. I also happen to own a 2006 Tundra 4WD. Both of these vehicles have a drain plug on the front differential that uses a 10mm hex key to remove. A year ago, when I was attempting to change the front diff on the '06, I had great difficulty removing the drain plug on the front diff. I ended up having to make an embarrassing trip to the dealer to have them remove it. As far as I can tell, the drain plug on the REAR diff might fit the drain hole on the FRONT diff, except of course, the rear plug uses a 24mm socket. I was thinking I could buy an extra rear diff drain plug and install it on the front diff. I figure it would be easier to remove than the original 10mm drain plug. But it makes me wonder WHY did they use a 10mm plug on the front diff?"

Tram switchgear This circuit breaker uses both SF 6 and air as insulation. In an electric power system, switchgear is the combination of electrical disconnect switches, fuses or circuit breakers used to control, protect and isolate electrical equipment. Switchgear is used both to de-energize equipment to allow work to be done and to clear faults downstream. This type of equipment is directly linked to the reliability of the electricity supply. The earliest central power stations used simple open knife switches, mounted on insulating panels of marble or asbestos. Power levels and voltages rapidly escalated, making opening manually operated switches too dangerous for anything other than isolation of a de-energized circuit. Oil-filled equipment allowed arc energy to be contained and safely controlled. By the early 20th century, a switchgear line-up would be a metal-enclosed structure with electrically operated switching elements, using oil circuit breakers. Today, oil-filled equipment has largely been replaced by air-blast, vacuum, or SF 6 equipment, allowing large currents and power levels to be safely controlled by automatic equipment."

It also includes all devices associated with control, metering and regulating of electrical power system. Assembly of such devices in a logical manner forms switchgear. In other words apparatus used for switching, controlling and protecting the electrical circuits and equipment is known as switchgear. This is very basic definition of switchgear. Switchgear and Protection We are all familiar with low voltage switches and re-wirable fuses in our home. The switch is used to manually open and close the electrical circuit in our home and electrical fuse is used to protect our household electrical circuit from over current and short circuit faults. In same way every electrical circuit including high voltage electrical power system needs switching and protective devices. But in high voltage and extra high voltage system, this switching and protective scheme becomes complicated one for high fault current interruption in safe and secure way. In addition to that from commercial point of view every electrical power system needs measuring, control and regulating arrangement."

"text": "Tech Papers White Paper on Implementing PTP in Substations David Ingram, Brian Smellie This white paper explains how PTP can be used in substation automation systems to overcome incompatibilities and shortcomings of existing time distribution systems. Executive Summary Advanced substation automation applications such as wide area phasor monitoring (Phasor Measurement Unit – PMU) and sampled value process buses require synchronising accuracy to be better than 1 µs, rather than the 1–2 ms that is generally required today. Substation automation systems are now using Ethernet to communicate between SCADA systems and protection relays. Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is a time synchronisation system that uses the substation LAN, rather than a dedicated time distribution system, that can synchronise protection relays, merging units and other devices to better than 1 µs. This white paper explains how PTP can be used in substation automation systems to overcome incompatibilities and shortcomings of existing time distribution systems. The operation of PTP using the “Power Profile” is explained and examples of how PTP can be used in new and existing substations are presented. Tekron has over fifteen years’ experience in producing timing equipment for the power industry. Their latest substation timing products support PTP and this white paper explains how these can be used to meet the timing needs of modern substation automation applications, while retaining compatibility with existing substation protection and control designs. This allows utility and industrial substation operators to gradually gain experience with PTP.1. Challenges in substation timing Time synchronisation has been required in substations for many years to ensure consistent time-stamping of events, with a required accuracy of 1 millisecond (1 ms)."

John Hebert, PE, LEED AP BD+C, and Catherine Melander, PE, LEED AP BD+C,10/17/2012Share Essential/standby power equipment and systems provide electrical power to a facility during a utility power outage or during a partial outage caused by tripping one or more circuit breakers in a facility. Several types of standby systems can be used. The term “essential power system” refers to the system that provides an alternate source of power if the normal (utility) source fails. To minimize confusion regarding the specific definitions of emergency power, standby systems, legally required standby power, and optional standby power, the term “essential power system” (EPS) has been used throughout this article to represent all of them. Facilities that are not required to continue operating during a utility outage (office buildings, residential, etc.) often use battery backup lights, which do not require a generator. The battery backup lights are designed to provide 90 min of lighting to facilitate safe egress. Facilities that support critical equipment/systems (hospitals, data centers, etc.) use generators and supporting electrical equipment to restore power to that critical equipment."

Its basic function is to interrupt current flow after a fault is detected. Unlike a fuse, which operates once and then must be replaced, a circuit breaker can be reset (either manually or automatically) to resume normal operation. Circuit breakers are made in varying sizes, from small devices that protect low-current circuits or individual household appliance, up to large switchgear designed to protect high voltage circuits feeding an entire city. The generic function of a circuit breaker, RCD or a fuse, as an automatic means of removing power from a faulty system is often abbreviated as OCPD (Over Current Protection Device).

[ 1] Its purpose was to protect lighting circuit wiring from accidental short circuits and overloads. A modern miniature circuit breaker similar to the ones now in use was patented by Brown, Boveri & Cie in 1924. Hugo Stotz, an engineer who had sold his company to BBC, was credited as the inventor on DRP ( Deutsches Reichspatent) 458392. ["

"text": "\"Description BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONThe installation of electrical devices, such as circuit breakers, in switchboard and panelboard compartments is generally of two types. In one type of installation, circuit breakers are essentially stationary mounted to structural members or frame of the switchboard, typically with terminal electrical connection effected via bolted joints. Alternatively, circuit breakers may be physically supported solely by the switchboard bus-work via these bolted terminal joints. In such stationary installations, inspection and maintenance of the circuit breaker is difficult and quite hazardous if attempted while the switchboard is live. The terms \"\"switchgear\"\" herein describes the combination of the draw-out circuit breaker and the compartment whereas the term \"\"switchboard\"\" refers to the compartment, per se. In some situations, the hazards must be assumed, since de-energization of the switchboard and thus interruption of electrical service to all of the branch circuits in the switchboard cannot be tolerated. To reduce the hazards of working with live switchboards, devices are provided with plug-in or stab-type primary disconnect contacts which do not require direct contact and manipulation to effect their connection and disconnection with mating disconnect contacts of the switchboard compartment. Thus the device, e.g., circuit breaker, can be plugged in and unplugged from a live switchboard in relative safety. In higher current applications, the circuit breakers are physically large and quite heavy, thus rendering the bodily movement of the circuit breaker necessary to electrically connect and disconnect it from the switchboard cumbersome if not impossible, unless mechanical assistance is afforded. Not only does the weight and bulk of the circuit breaker become difficult for the electrician to handle, but, as the current ratings increase, the contact pressures of the primary disconnect contacts become extremely difficult, if not impossible to overcome."

Although an arc flash hazard study can be time consuming, a correctly executed study can help improve plant safety by identifying where the most dangerous hazards are located and whether Daryn Lewellyn, Lewellyn Technology | Jun 01, 2007An arc flash hazard study is a complicated engineering survey and analysis that typically is performed by an engineering consultant. Preparing for the study in advance can make the process much easier and more accurate. Although an arc flash hazard study can be time consuming, a correctly executed study can help improve plant safety by identifying where the most dangerous hazards are located and whether or not safety can be improved. The arc flash hazard study involves four phases: Data gathering,Engineering analysis of the data,Report presentation, PPE procurement, and labeling, and Training. Of these four phases, only the engineering analysis and report preparation are typically done off site. The remainder of the study occurs within your plant, which brings us to the point of what you can do to best facilitate the process. Pre-planning When planning for an arc flash hazard study, it's important to consider who at your facility will need to be present for each phase of the process. During phase one, the data collection phase, an experienced plant electrician or someone with similar knowledge will need to escort the outside field technician or engineer around the plant and help him with equipment identification tasks."

Over the next two centuries a number of important discoveries were made including the incandescent light bulb and the voltaic pile. [ 1] [2] Probably the greatest discovery with respect to power engineering came from Michael Faraday who in 1831 discovered that a change in magnetic flux induces an electromotive force in a loop of wire—a principle known as electromagnetic induction that helps explain how generators and transformers work. [ 3]In 1881 two electricians built the world's first power station at Godalming in England."

The role of the corona ring is to distribute the electric field gradient and lower its maximum values below the corona threshold, either preventing corona discharge entirely or transferring its destructive effects from the valuable hardware to the expendable ring. Corona rings are used on very high voltage power transmission insulators and switchgear, and on scientific research apparatus that generates high voltages.

"text": "April 25, 2013So You Jammed Your Finger? By John Indalecio How many times have you hurt your finger during a volleyball or basketball game, family wrestling match, or even tucking in your sheets while making the bed? Sometimes it goes away after a few days or a week. Other times you may need medical attention. If your finger can’t move like normal – if you can’t bend or straighten it with normal effort, or if you feel sharp shooting pain – you may have an injury that you can’t fix yourself. The three cylindrical bones of the finger (the phalanges) are in line with each other and require ligaments to help them remain aligned while the tendons flex and extend the fingers. Ligaments attach bone to other bone. When a finger is jammed, the stress along the joints can cause any of these structures to fail: ligaments can tear, tendons can rupture and bones can fracture. If the sides of your finger are red and swollen, it could be a ligament sprain of one of the collateral (side) ligaments. If it’s tender on the bottom, you may have bent your finger backwards (another ligament injury)."

"text": "\"Medications, medical conditions and trauma can all contribute to knuckle swelling. Certain antibiotics, antihypertensive medications and those prescribed for the treatment of cardiac dysrhythmias may produce edema, causing swollen hands and joints. Numerous medical conditions might cause knuckle swelling, including arthritis, gout, heart or kidney disease and infection. Blunt force trauma, of any kind, to the hand may also produce pain and swelling. Fluid retention caused by various medications may appear as joint or knuckle swelling, and individuals having an adverse reaction to antibiotics may also develop aching joints or swollen knuckles. In addition to sensitivity reactions, persons taking certain antihypertensive or dysrhythmia medications may experience weight gain and generalized edema, including knuckle swelling, because of alterations in heart rhythm and vascular circulation. Certain preexisting medical conditions typically contribute to the adverse reactions and effects of medications.

In fact, the word \"\"arthritis\"\" means inflammation of the joints.

Posted by Dr. Herazy on August 30, 2012 ·I just had the Xiaflex procedure done on my pinky finger and it was an extremely painful procedure I must say. The way it was done was that on the first day the doctor injected the Xiaflex at the base of my pinky finger. Within two hours the entire area was extremely swollen and painful. The following day the doctor did what he called “the manipulation” part of the procedure. I had the already extremely swollen and tender area of my pinky shot up with lidocaine injections which was very painful in and of itself. Then the doctor started wrenching the pinky back and forth so forcefully that I about passed out. He reluctantly injected more lidocaine (on my request) and came back 30 minutes later. He again wrenched the pinky so hard back and forth that I almost passed out, and had to sit with my head between my legs to keep from passing out when he was done. As a result of wrenching my pinky so hard I developed a large blood blister at the base of my pinky, which was extremely painful and took almost two weeks to finally go away."

"text": "HYDROCEPHALUSHydrocephalus is dilatation of the cerebral ventricles. This dilatation has a variety of causes, the common denominator of which is obstruction of CSF flow. Approximately 600-700 ml of CSF is produced daily by the choroid plexuses. From the lateral ventricles, CSF enters the third ventricle through the foramina of Monro and then flows into the fourth ventricle through the aqueduct. It exits from the fourth ventricle into the subarachnoid space through the foramina of Luschka and Magendie. It bathes the spinal cord and flows over the cerebral convexities to the arachnoid villi through which it is absorbed into the venous circulation. Hydrocephalus may result from the following causes: Hypersecretion of CSF: choroid plexus papilloma Obstructive hydrocephalus Obstruction of the foramina of Monro (colloid cyst, tuberous sclerosis). Obstruction of the third ventricle (craniopharyngioma, pilocytic astrocytoma, germ cell tumors). Obstruction of the aqueduct (aqueductal stenosis or atresia, posterior fossa tumors, ).

Hydromyelia is a dilatation of the central canal by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and may be included within the definition of syringomyelia. The following are types of syringomyelia. Syringomyelia with fourth ventricle communication About 10% of syringomyelia cases are of this type. This communication can be observed on MRI. In some cases, a blockage of CSF circulation occurs. A shunt operation may be the best therapeutic option for these patients. Syringomyelia due to blockage of CSF circulation (without fourth ventricular communication)Representing at least 50% of all cases, this is the most common type of syringomyelia. Obstruction of CSF circulation from the basal posterior fossa to the caudal space may cause syringomyelia of this type. The most common example is Arnold-Chiari malformation, which is also associated with communicating syringomyelia."

A. fumigatus is the most common species of the fungus to cause disease, although A. flavus, A. niger, and others can also cause problems. Aspergillus grows readily in warm and moist environments. The microscopic spores of the fungus become airborne, and poor ventilation, poor sanitation, dusty conditions, and close confinement increase the chance the spores will be inhaled. Usually, the fungus does not cause disease, however, if a bird does not have a healthy immune system, it can cause illness. Predisposing factors include other illnesses, stress, poor nutrition, poor husbandry or unsanitary conditions, another injury to the respiratory system (e.g. ; smoke inhalation), and prolonged use of certain medications such as antibiotics or corticosteroids. The combination of the number of spores in the environment and the presence of predisposing factors determine which birds are most at risk of disease. Aspergillosis appears to be more common in parrots and mynahs than other pet birds. What are the signs of aspergillosis?"

So I am going to post the results here and would love any and every opinion of what you read. I know Dr. Heffez will thoroughly explain all this May 5th, but I want to have an idea of what is going on NOW---LOL-- Here it is: Normal flow void is noted within the imaged intracranial vascularity. As mentioned above, flow analysis with specific measurements of CSF flow velocity and duration of flow during systole and diastole could not be performed. The sagittal phase contrast images were obtained using velocity encoding parameters of 3, 5 and 10 cm per second. Limited analysis of these sagittal images demonstrate no obvious asymmetric flow jets however, there is suggestion of slightly diminished flow just posterior and inferior to the cerebellar tonsils as compared to flow demonstrated within the subarachnoid space ventral to the medulla and ventral to the upper cervical cord. This particular depiction suggests probable decreased velocity at least dorsal to the upper cervical cord and, again, below the cerebellar tonsils below the foramen magnum. This particular finding can be seen in association with altered flow dynamics below the foramen magnum in patient's a Chiari I malformation. Obviously, sensitivity is diminished without benefit of ability to perform specific velocity measurements as described above."

Due to normal activities like coughing and straining, SM cavities can slowly become larger over a period of time, often years. As the syrinx gets larger, it stretches the spinal cord and damages nerve tissue. Damage to nerve tissue can result in serious and/or disabling symptoms. Syringomyelia can also be known as hydromyelia. CM causes most cases of SM. Up to 50 percent of CM patients also develop SM. CM can block the normal flow of CSF, which forces the fluid into the spinal cord, creating the fluid filled syrinx. Types of syringomyelia The type of SM a patient has depends on the cause."

In the 1890s, a German pathologist, Professor Hans Chiari, first described abnormalities of the brain at the junction of the skull with the spine. He categorized these in order of severity; types I, II, III and IV. The term \"\"Arnold-Chiari\"\" was latter applied to the Chiari type II malformation. These malformations, along with syringomyelia and hydromyelia, two closely associated conditions, are described below. The cerebellum controls the coordination of motion and is normally located inside the base of the skull, in what is referred to as the posterior fossa. Usually, the cerebellum is composed of two lateral halves, or hemispheres, and a narrow central portion between these hemispheres, known as the vermis. Along the under surface of the hemispheres, there are two small protrusions called the tonsils. The fourth ventricle is a space filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) located in front of the cerebellum (and behind the brainstem). All of these structures are located just above the foramen magnum, the largest opening at the base of the skull through which the spinal cord enters and connects to the brainstem."

Type 1 Chiari malformation symptoms and signs can show up in infants, children, teens or adults. Type 2 Chiari malformation is associated with spina bifida and is present at birth. Surgery can address symptoms such as headache, hydrocephalus, sleep apnea and others. More Information About Chiari Malformation from Johns Hopkins Medicine The Simple Gets Complicated Mark Luciano, M. D., Ph. D., of Johns Hopkins’ Department of Neurosurgery talks about how to diagnose and treat Chiari malformations. Watch now. What is a Chiari malformation? A Chiari malformation is a problem in which a part of the brain (the cerebellum) at the back of the skull bulges through a normal opening in the skull where it joins the spinal canal. This puts pressure on parts of the brain and spinal cord, and can cause mild to severe symptoms."

On earth she delighted in the wild life of the chase, keeping holiday among the dryads, and hunting with all those nymphs that loved the boyish pastime. She and her maidens shunned the fellowship of men and would not hear of marriage, for they disdained all household arts; and there are countless tales of their cruelty to suitors. Syrinx and Atalanta were of their company, and Arethusa, who was changed into a fountain and ever pursued by Alpheus the river-god, till at last the two were united. There was Daphne, too, who disdained the love of Apollo himself, and would never listen to a word of his suit, but fled like Syrinx, and prayed like Syrinx for escape; but Daphne was changed into a fair laurel-tree, held sacred by Apollo forever after. All these maidens were as untamed and free of heart as the wild creatures they loved to hunt, and whoever molested them did so at his peril. None dared trespass in the home of Diana and her nymphs, not even the riotous fauns and satyrs who were heedless enough to go a-swimming in the river Styx, if they had cared to venture near such a dismal place. But the maiden goddess laid a spell upon their unruly wits, even as the moon controls the tides of the sea. Her precincts were holy. There was one man, however, whose ill-timed curiosity brought heavy punishment upon him."

"text": "Chiari I malformation Overview Chiari I malformation is a condition in which the bony space enclosing the lower part of the brain is smaller than normal. Crowding causes the cerebellar tonsils to push through the skull and down into the spinal canal. The herniated tonsils block the normal flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Instead of moving in an easy, pulsating movement through this opening, the fluid begins to force its way through – like a water hammer – pushing the tonsils down even farther and exerting pressure on the brainstem and spinal cord. Symptoms may not appear until late childhood or adulthood, causing severe headache, neck pain, dizziness, numbness in the hands, and sleep problems. Treatment options depend on the type of malformation and severity of symptoms. If symptoms are mild, regular monitoring and medications can be effective. If symptoms are severe or worsening, surgery may be recommended to remove a part of the skull bone and create space for the cerebellum and brainstem. Of the several types of Chiari malformations, Chiari I is the most common and affects both children and adults. Chiari II occurs with the birth defect myelomeningocele."

National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health, or NIH, leg pain, along with arm pain, can be caused by blood vessel disorders, damage to the central or peripheral nervous system and myofascial pain or pain that manifests in a person's muscles and the connective tissue that surrounds it. In some cases, arm and leg pain occur simultaneously, which can signal a serious underlying health problem. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Syringomyelia Syringomyelia can cause arm and leg pain. According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke or NINDS--a division of the National Institutes of Health--syringomyelia is a condition in which a cyst or syrinx forms within a person's spinal cord. Over time, the syrinx may expand and elongate, causing destruction to a portion of the spinal cord. A widening syrinx compresses nerve fibers that transport information from the brain or central nervous system to the arms and legs. Spinal cord damage usually results in extremity weakness, back, shoulder and extremity stiffness and severe pain. Other symptoms associated with syringomyelia include: headaches, an inability to sense temperature extremes and loss of bladder control and other bodily functions. The NIDDK states that at least 40,000 Americans suffer from syringomyelia."

Computer systems analysts leverage both their knowledge of information technology and business to design better computer systems and processes for their clients. And although these professionals have many responsibilities, their first task is to understand their client's business, whether it's an organization in Silicon Valley or a firm on Wall Street. And they'll specifically want to learn how the organization uses technology. Analysts will then research the best technologies to help the organization's overall computer system – the hardware, the software and the networks – run more efficiently and effectively. But their job doesn't stop at research. These professionals also employ their business acumen to prepare a cost and benefits analysis for the upgrades. And if management approves the upgrades, computer systems analysts will oversee the installation of the new systems. They also test the systems and train their organization in them. And when the inevitable hiccups arise, computer systems analysts are the ones who troubleshoot the problems."

Organization and proper presentation of all aspects of HR functions is very important for success as an HRIS analyst. The HRIS system is comprised of computer software programs used by human resources (HR) departments and is commonly used for payroll and employee information such as benefits. It may also be part of other software used by a company for many internal operations. For this reason, most analysts enter employment under strict confidentiality agreements. Someone in the HRIS analyst position is usually required to have the skills to work with other human resource employees and information technology departments to provide the information they need.

"text": "\"Top-down vs. Bottom-Up Object Database Design Oracle Database Tips by Donald Burleson Object Database Design There is still a great deal of controversy about the best way to approach database design for object-oriented systems. Architecturally, some experts argue that the relational model is not well suited for use in an object-oriented environment while other experts maintain that relational architectures are more suitable for traditional data processing. This has been borne out in the marketplace where we see object-oriented databases used for non-traditional applications such as telephone billing system, while the relational model enjoys predominance in business administration applications. It is important to recognize that many of the \"\"pure\"\" object-oriented database management systems do not exploit many of the features of \"\"classical\"\" database management. To some object-based systems, the only purpose of an object database (OODBMS) is to provide \"\"object persistence\"\" and very little attention is paid to concurrency-control, rollback and recovery, and the other features associated with relational database management. One very important point: A database does not have to support all of the formal constructs of the object-oriented approach to benefit from using the object-oriented approach. For example, while object-oriented programming languages such as C++ allow for the creation of abstract data types, the data types offered in most commercial database systems such as, CHAR, INTEGER, REAL, VARCHAR, and BIT are sufficient for almost all database applications. However, the relational vendors recognize the shortcomings of their architecture. For example, almost every commercial relational database vendor has promised to deliver user-defined data types in their future releases. Oracle, the popular relational database for midrange computers, has announced that Oracle version 8 will support abstract data typing."

What is Total Cost of Ownership? Total Cost of Ownership ( TCO) is an analysis meant to uncover all the lifetime costs that follow from owning certain kinds of assets. As a result, TCO is sometimes called life cycle cost analysis. Asset ownership brings purchase costs, of course, but ownership also brings costs due to installing, deploying, using, upgrading, and maintaining the same assets. These after-purchase costs can be substantial. Consequently, for many kinds of assets, TCO analysis finds a very large difference between purchase price and total life cycle costs.

The architect would ask you questions – what is your budget, what style of house, how many bedrooms, how much parking or garage space you need, etc. The architect would then draw up plans which they would agree with you before approaching builders to understand the cost of building the house. Once the build was underway the architect would monitor the build to make sure the house was built according to your needs. Occasionally problems might arise requiring the plans to be revised, or, you might want to make some modifications to the plans which would need to be agreed with the builder. Being a business analyst is a bit like being an architect but instead of building a house, we are developing or updating a computer system. A business analyst takes responsibility for talking to the business users of the computer system to understand their needs. Instead of producing plans, the business analyst produces 'requirements' which clearly state the business needs and align with business processes. The requirements are then used by the IT team or an external supplier to build or modify the system."

Hospitals, clinics, and other care facilities can employ health system specialists to support their work, and these allied health professionals can also work for administration programs. These programs may not deliver health care directly, but they set policies, establish facilities, and perform other tasks that are intended to benefit patients. Qualifications and requirements for this position can depend on the employer, but usually include a college degree and experience in the field. One aspect of the job can involve the development of new plans to deliver health care effectively and appropriately. A health system specialist might, for example, determine that low income mothers are at risk of particular health problems in a community. The specialist could work on an outreach program to provide education and preventative care targeted at this population. After approval of the proposal, the specialist might administer it and perform periodic audits to determine if it is meeting the goals set at the outset. Ad Officials at a facility or agency can contact a health system specialist for advice on planned policies and proposals. These can include new facilities, changes to standards of care, or the adoption of new medical records systems."

Heather Krasna, MS July 28, 2010The federal government is set to hire 600,000 people in the next 2 years, and to do that, they will need to make the hiring process a whole lot easier for outside (non-federal) applicants. Many job-seekers from outside the federal system have complained for years about the difficulty and complexity–not to mention the inscrutability–of the federal hiring process (the “competitive” hiring process in particular). It is definitely not clear to nearly any non-federal job seekers I’ve met with that: If you put in your job seeker profile that you only want a permanent job (and don’t check of temporary or term positions), many of your applications won’t be viewed by HR at all because you are screening yourself out for many positions“One year experience at a GS 7 level”– has absolutely no meaning to anyone outside the system. What’s a GS level? What does GS stand for? What level am I qualified for? I have many applicants who don’t know that GS 12 is much higher than they can aim for with just a master’s degree. The federal government typically can’t hire for potential, but instead seems to hire only based on demonstrated experience, and you have to demonstrate it in your application clearly. You have to re-write your entire resume and focus on keywords in the job description– rephrasing something in your own words can mean you are not found best qualified You will have to write essays, and sometimes fax in your transcripts, or even mail (!)"

It gives advice on what the CPS does, how rape cases are prosecuted, and what victims can expect from the CPS. The document is particularly designed for those who support victims of rape, whether professionally or personally, although it may be of interest to victims, witnesses and the general public. This is the second edition of the policy statement and reflects the changes in the law and CPS procedures that have taken place since the publication of the first edition in 2004. Rape is one of the most serious of all criminal offences. It can inflict lasting trauma on victims and their families. We want people to know that our aim is to prosecute rape cases effectively, and we want people to know what they can expect from us. We are aware that there is a general perception that most rapes are committed by a single man against a woman unknown to him. In fact, the majority of rape victims are women and most know their rapist. However, rape can involve male and female victims of all ages."

Ruth Kelly, Education Secretary at the time, accepted all the Rose report's recommendations and said she would ensure they were implemented (Kelly response to interim report 30/11/05) The Df ES (now Df E) followed up Kelly's statement, saying, ''High-quality phonic work, as defined by the Rose review, should be a key feature of literacy provision in all the ‘waves’ of intervention'' ( Df ES 2007 PNS)http://ssphonix.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/and-now-for-something-completely.html ''I am often asked about the role of phonics in 'catch up'... Phonics is the basic mechanism of all reading... There are no reliable alternatives''The new national curriculum, statutory in state maintained schools, states:\"\"If they are still struggling to decode and spell, they need to be taught to do this urgently through a rigorous and systematic phonics programme so that they catch up rapidly. \"\" Your Options - and what to avoid: 1. Rely on 'in school' support which presently, due to the wide-spread lack of knowledge of the most effective way to remediate most reading difficulties, usually amounts to little more than the student being expected to memorise lists of high frequency 'sight words' and work through the book levels of a non-systematic, multi-cueing intervention programme (see below) in small groups or 1-1 (time limited, often just 10 weeks) with a teaching assistant (TA). Parents should be aware that, in most state schools, children struggling with reading are likely to be placed with a TA for literacy support. In fact, the more severe their difficulties the more likely that they will be taken out of class and taught by a TA whilst their classmates remain in the classroom and are taught by the teacher. '' There has been a drift towards TAs becoming, in effect, the primary educators of lower-attaining pupils and those with SEN'' (Teach Primary.issue 6.3.p13). A five year study (Diss: Deployment and impact of support staff) found that there was a consistent negative relationship between the amount of TA support a pupil received and the pupil's progress.

It's called the inland taipan, and here's what you need to know to survive an attack. What is it? The inland taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus)--also known as the western taipan, the small-scaled snake, or the fierce snake--is a dark tan snake ranging from a rich, dark hue to a brownish light-green depending on the season. It averages about 1.8 meters (5.9 ft) in length, or the size of an average male in Sweden. Unlike most venomous snakes that strike with a single bite then wait for their prey to die (such as the king cobra or black mamba), the inland taipan is known to subdue their prey with a series of rapid, accurate strikes. It can deliver up to eight venomous bites in a single attack. Where is it located?"

Snakes in decline Tiger Snakes Copperheads Brown Snakes Death Adders Inland Taipan Black Snakes First Aid Avoidance of bites Disclaimer & Advice Death Adders The common death adder Acanthophis antarcticus Death adders are the most distinguishable snakes in Australia. They have the habit of burying themselves in sand or leaf litter, with just their head and tail exposed whilst they lie in wait for potential prey. When a small bird, lizard or small mammal approaches, they twitch their tail rapidly like a grub to attract their prey. If the prey approaches close enough, the rapid strike rarely misses its mark. Their habit of laying still, partially exposed, makes them difficult to see and more easily trodden on. Death adders have suffered declines over much of their habitats due to land clearing and habitat degradation by domestic stock. Competition from introduced predators such as foxes and cats has also aided their decline. Remaining habitats anywhere in South Australia are important for death adders and they should be conserved. In South Australia, they prefer mallee and coastal dune communities."

Maybe it makes us look brave and tough in the eyes of the rest of the world. Certainly very little is done to dispel this myth about poisonous Australian snakes, and a myth it is... Supposedly the most dangerous Australian snake: the Inland Taipan or Fierce Snake. Yes, it IS highly venomous, but it never killed anyone. ( Photo: Charlie Brewer)The deadliest of all Australian Animals, responsible for an average of 10 deaths per year, is the European Honey Bee. But even people allergic to bee stings are nowhere near as scared of bees as most people are of Australian snakes. They also don't scream and jump up and down or try to kill any bee that ventures near them. They stay calm and act sensibly to avoid getting stung."

In this article, we have compiled the list of the most venomous snakes in the world. Some of the most dangerous bites are known to come from snakes. Although not all snakes are venomous, the ones that are may have the potential to inflict a death sentence within 30 minutes. This is the power of one of the world’s most venomous animals. Snakes can be anywhere, from the arid deserts of Australia to the tropical backyards of Florida residents. Those who are unfortunate enough to be bitten by snakes have described agonizing snake bite symptoms such as difficulty breathing, vomiting and nausea; numbness, and organ failure. It’s a relatively painful way of dying. And even though we have developed anti-venom which has been responsible for the survival of many; if not treated, bites from venomous snakes can still claim lives."

The inland taipan's venom is the deadliest in the world. Snake species can be both venomous or non-venomous. Poisonous snakes produce venom as a defense mechanism and for immobilizing prey. Snake venom gets its toxicity from the presence of zootoxins, which are injected into the victim through fang bites or spitting. The venom-producing glands are situated on either side of the snake’s head and are protected by a muscular sheath. Proteins constitute the largest elements in snake venom and cause the most damage in prey by inhibiting important enzymes. The toxicity of a snake‘s venom is expressed by murine LD 50 test (lethal dose 50%). This test requires the use of other animals, mostly mice, which are injected with a dose of a particular snake’s venom. The trial aims to find out which snake venom can kill half of the animal’s population."

"text": "20 Most Venomous Snakes in the Worldby David Rosenfeld As the weather heats up and more people take to hiking trails in their local areas, people often start thinking about venomous snakes. Fortunately in North America there are about 20 species of venomous snakes. Chief among them are 16 species of rattlesnakes mostly found in dry, arid regions in the south except the timber rattlesnake found in the northeast. There are also two species of coral snakes, one species of cottonmouth or water moccasin and one species of copperhead. While the coral snake is the most toxic, it’s the diamond back cobra that delivers the most venom. But even these have relatively low levels of venom compared to the most venomous snakes in the world, which mostly consist of mambas, cobras, adders, kraits and vipers. RELATED: What You Need to Know About Rattlesnakes If you are travelling to India or Southeast Asia, you have the highest likelihood of crossing paths with some of the world’s most venomous snakes. Australia is another country with a good share of dangerous snakes. But chances are they are more afraid of you then you are of them. So keep a sharp eye and give these ornery serpents space."

The first known venomous frogs, discovered in Brazil, raise some basic questions about toxic biology Corythomantis greeningi frogs carry potent venom in their pouts. ( Carlos Jared)By Helen Thompsonsmithsonian.com August 6, 2015149 8 0 4 327Amid an arid forest of cacti, Corythomantis greeningi frogs look pretty harmless. In contrast to the bright cautionary colors of poison dart frogs, these tree frogs sport drab brown and green hues. So when Carlos Jared of Brazil’s Butantan Institute ventured out to collect and study them, he didn’t think they posed much of a threat—until he felt pain in his palm. “It took me a long time to realize that the pain had a relationship with the intense and careless collection of these animals hitting the palm of my hands,” recalls Jared. The biologist fell prey to a totally unique defense mechanism: The helmet-headed frogs use spikes along their lips to inject potent chemicals, giving aggressors a mix between a head butt and a toxic smooch. After careful study, Jared and his team found that C. greeningi and a related species of hylid frog, Aparasphenodon brunoi, are the only venomous frogs known to science. “This is very, very cool. Unprecedented would actually be an understatement,” says Bryan Fry, a molecular biologist at the University of Queensland who was not affiliated with the study."

"text": "Australia has over 140 species of land snake - and 32 species of sea snakes have been recorded in its waters-. Of these 100 species are venomous, although only a dozen are considered venomous enough to be fatal to humans. However, though Australian snakes are currently viewed as the most venomous in the world, they are, by no means, the most dangerous. One reason for this is perhaps that having had very little time to adapt to the short human presence on their continent, Australian snakes are generally very shy and have not developed means to defend themselves against human predation, unlike, for example, the spitting cobras of Asia and Africa. Another reason is that Australia is big and not densely populated by humans. As a result, snake bites are anything but common in Australia. Besides, many of these bites occur when people - often under the influence of alcohol - try to handle or kill the snakes. A number of bites also happen when people inadvertently step on snakes (correct behavior and proper footwear could avoid these bites). Even then, many Australian snakes will first try to escape and, in case they do bite, they usually don't inject venom. It is thus estimated that only 2 to 6 fatal cases of unavoidable snake bites happened in Australia between 1980 and 2004 (a period of 24 years)."

[ 6] Aboriginal Australians living in those regions named the snake Dandarabilla. [ 7] [8] It was first described by Frederick Mc Coy in 1879 and then by William John Macleay in 1882, but for the next 90 years, it was a mystery species to the scientific community. No more specimens were found, and virtually nothing was added to the knowledge of this species until its rediscovery in 1972. [ 7] [9]The inland taipan is the most venomous snake in the world. Based on the median lethal dose value in mice, its venom, drop for drop, is by far the most toxic of any snake – much more so than even sea snakes [10] [11] [12] – and it has the most toxic venom of any reptile when tested on human heart cell culture. [ 13] [14] [15] Unlike most snakes, the inland taipan is a specialist mammal hunter so its venom is specially adapted to kill warm-blooded species. [ 16] It is estimated that one bite possesses enough lethality to kill at least 100 fully grown men, [17] and, depending on the nature of the bite, it has the potential to kill someone in as little as 30 to 45 minutes if left untreated.

In faceted form it is stunning, celebrated as the Gemstone of the 20th Century and first promoted by the New York jewelers, Tiffany & Co. who created magnificent pieces to showcase this stone. It is one of the most valuable of all metaphysical crystals for spiritual exploration, bringing together all aspects of communication and psychic power. Its high vibrational energy invites protection and safety in linking with higher realms, and allows for deep profound meditation. It is particularly helpful in uniting the mind and heart, teaching one to live from a compassionate heart with an illumined mind. [ Melody, 634] [Hall II, 335-336] [Simmons, 392]Tanzanite is blue Zoisite, a calcium aluminum silicate, and forms in prismatic, usually striated crystals, transparent to slightly opaque, and ranges in color from deep ultramarine blue to light violet-blue. The most coveted crystals are a saturated blue with a hint of purple around it. In raw form Tanzanite occurs as blue, purple, brown and yellow. Nearly all Tanzanite is heat-treated to produce the striking violet-blue color and to remove the brownish yellow areas. Its pleochroistic property provides the shift in colors as the crystal is viewed from different perspectives."

"text": "Crystal Healing: Tanzanite By Simone Matthews Thursday, April 12 th, 2012Tanzanite is a very rare gemstone first discovered in 1967 in the east-African country of Tanzania, near the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro. Tanzanite belongs to the Zoisite family, and its official name is ‘Blue Zoisite’, a calcium aluminium hydroxy silicate, Ca 2 Al 3 (Si O 4) 3 (OH). The jewellery store Tiffany’s unofficially renamed Blue Zoisite ‘Tanzanite’ a short time after its discovery to improve it marketability. Tanzanite is now the common name used commercially around the world. Tanzanite is a reddish brown mineral that morphs into a bluey-violet colour when irradiated at temperatures around 550-700 degrees celcius. Irradiation may occur naturally within the earth, though most pieces of Tanzanite on the market today have been heat-treated artificially to alchemically unleash their polychromatic hues. Metaphysically, Tanzanite is an invaluable healing tool for aligning the heart and mind, and hence embracing ‘Spiritual Intelligence’. Spiritual Intelligence, defined by David B. King and Teresa L. De Cicco in an article published in 2009 in the International Journal of Transpersonal Studies, is an ‘”…. awareness of the nonmaterial and transcendent aspects of one’s existence, leading to such outcomes as deep existential reflection, enhancement of meaning, recognition of a transcendent self, and mastery of spiritual states. ”Thus Tanzanite supports your capacity to contemplate the multi-dimensional nature of existence, the ability to identify and transcend patterns of self, the capacity to create and master your life purpose, and an ability to connect with higher states of consciousness."

Tanzanite is a beautiful, rare, gem which was just discovered in 1967. It's color ranges from a light blue to a darker blue, purple or violet. Once it is heated it's brilliance shines through and is mostly clear of inperfections by its nature. In it's rough state Tanzanite is often a reddish brown which is then almost always heated to bring out it blue/violet color. Tanzanite is a blue variety of the gemstone zoisite. It is made of calcium aluminium silicate and is not particularly hard, having a hardness value of 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale. For that reason, it should always be worn carefully and never placed in an ultrasonic bath for cleaning or brought into contact with acids.

This article analyzes the structural reasons that have kept tanzanite from achieving its true potential, beginning with an historical and contextual overview of this remarkable gemstone. It then explores the economics of the tanzanite market and discusses the stone’s considerable potential to contribute to the development of Tanzania’s economy. ‘Gemstone of a Generation’Tanzanite is a trichoic stone that reflects different colors, ranging from light blues or lilacs to deep indigos and violets. It was discovered in the 1960s and named after Tanzania by Tiffany & Co. The famous jewelry firm declared it to be the most beautiful stone discovered in the last 2,000 years. Tanzanite is so rare because it is found and mined in a small area only four kilometers wide and two kilometers long at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro in the Manyara Region of Northern Tanzania."

When we say shopping, the first thing that comes up in the mind is clothes- trendy and fashionable. Shoes come secondary in our list. But they dominate a huge part of our wardrobe. We were introduced to fashionable shoes right from our childhood days when we read Cinderella. Yes, our fairy tales books showed different pictures of the famous shoe that the Prince came with to find Cinderella, but one thing was common in all such publications- the pair of shoes was beautiful! It had to be. Somewhere in all those years of growing up, we have fancied fashionable stilettos, pumps, wedges and now when we are grown up enough to be able to wear them, we just cannot have enough of them. Every other pair of shoes seems pretty and we want to own them right away. For guys its all about the toughness and smartness it adds to their macho-ness."

These rare products of nature have inspired philosophers and mystics to attribute unusual powers to these special minerals. Ruby - For Good Luck and Good Health The best compendium of gemstone lore is undoubtedly that found in George Frederick Kunz's book The Curious Lore of Precious Stones, which was published in 1913. But Kunz was no mystic crystal-gazer. Rather he was the leading gemologist of his time and in his role as the resident gem expert at Tiffany & Co. in New York, he helped to shape the modern market for colored stones. He was also instrumental in putting together some of the greatest collections of rare gemstones, including the famous J. P. Morgan-Tiffany collection, which is now displayed at the American Museum of Natural History. Kunz believed that we can learn a great deal by studying the ways in which medicinal gemstones were used by different cultures, and the beliefs that people at different times formed about rare gems. For Kunz this study wasn't just sociological curiosity, it was a way of learning about gemstones themselves: \"\"Many of these ideas may seem strange enough to us now, and yet when we analyze them we find that they have their roots either in some intrinsic quality of the stones or else in an instinctive appreciation of their symbolic significance\"\". The following are a series of beliefs that have been attributed to various types of gemstones over the years. Actinolite Cat's Eye Actinolite is popular for its metaphysical abilities."

It's Back!Jun 1, 2001 2:23 PM By Robert Genis Email Print Facebook Twitter Share Blue zircon was a trendy gemstone during the Roaring Twenties with many “Flappers” wearing these rocks to echo the flamboyant era. This was when the treaters first discovered how to heat the gemstone in a vacuum to create the vibrant blue colors. Since the 1950’s zircon has languished in obscurity. Only a small group of collectors, dealers, and jewelers seem to understand that zircon is a unique natural stone mined in numerous colors in Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Burma, and Tanzania. Within the last 18 months, a new find of Cambodian zircon has entered the marketplace. Its color, when discovered, is brown; it is then heated in Thailand to create a bright blue color. Blue zircon has become a hot gem from its exposure at the Tucson Gem Shows last February. Many jewelers were struck by the beautiful blues and the diamond-like appearance of the new gem. Michael Romanella of Commercial Mineral, Scottsdale, Arizona recently returned from a buying trip to Bangkok to purchase blue zircon. “ There is a renewed interest in blue zircon by jewelers."

Their possession made him more important than others. Gems have always been regarded as bringers of peace, prosperity and happiness. A couple of centuries ago, the terms 'Precious' and 'Semi-Precious' stones came into common use. Although there are many exceptions to this classification, but these terms are still in use. For example, diamonds have always been considered as precious stones, yet there are diamonds that sell for $100 a carat. On the other hand, there are garnets that sell in excess of $1,000 a carat and garnets have traditionally been considered semiprecious stones. For this reason, now-a-days jewelers often refer to gemstones, other than diamond, as 'Colored Stones'. Traditionally, common gemstones are classified into two categories: Precious Stones Semi-Precious Stones Precious Stones Gemstones which are highly valuable for their hardness and rarity, are known as Precious Stones. Precious Stones are generally expensive in comparison of Semi-Precious Stones."

From Africa and Asia to Australia and South America, you will have to head to all corners of the globe to find out where semi-precious stones come from. Before we head off, let’s take a look at the origin of the term semi-precious. Most of us are familiar with the four precious gemstones: diamonds, rubies, sapphires and emeralds. This classification dates back to ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome when these rare and valuable stones were treasured for their beauty and religious importance. Amethysts were also considered precious until the 18th century when large deposits were found in Brazil, causing the stone’s value to plummet. Morpho yellow gold ring set with Paraiba tourmaline, chrysoprase and diamonds, from Fernando Jorge's new Bloom collection (£30,000). Strictly speaking, any gemstone outside of the “Big Four” is semi-precious, and the term was originally invented by the industry to describe gems that were more abundant. However, some coloured gemstones, such as the very rare Paraiba tourmaline, are so sought-after that they rival precious gems in value. In fact, many people who work in the gem trade have abandoned the “semi” prefix altogether, choosing instead to refer to all minerals as gemstones."

"text": "A cloven hoof is a hoof which is split into two distinct segments. Deer, cattle, and goats all have cloven hooves, among other mammals, and animals with cloven hooves are generally found in the order Artiodactyla. In biology, cloven hooves can help to distinguish an animal, and they are also considered important for religious reasons because some religions involve cloven hooves in their dietary restrictions. The shape of a cloven hoof involves two toes which are clearly split and surrounded by hard hoof material. The toes may also be capable of some limited independent movement, and they are subject to the same diseases of the hoof that single-hooved animals have. In addition, an animal with cloven hooves may also have horns; the only animals with true horns also have cloven hooves. Many animals in this order are also ruminants, meaning that they have specially adapted digestive systems to make it easier to extract nutrition from plant material. Ad In some religious faiths, people can only eat meat from animals with cloven hooves; some religious may also specify that these animals must also be ruminants. This is why observers of the Jewish faith eat beef, but not pork, because while both animals have cloven hooves, pigs are not ruminants. Many Christians are familiar with the section of the Bible which covers clean and unclean animals, in which the cloven hoof is an important distinguishing feature."

Characterised by a long, fleshy nose, like a shortened version of an elephant’s trunk, this shy quiet mammal lives in tropical forests and grasslands and is rarely seen. The species is currently declining as a result of habitat destruction and hunting. Its low reproductive rate makes it even more vulnerable to these threats.

"text": "Lu Yin Wai Updated: 25 October 2017Taman Negara is one of Malaysia’s national parks frequently visited by nature lovers and adventurers. The luscious rainforest is home to some amazing wildlife. Here are some eye-catching animals that you might well encounter in Taman Negara. Gaur Also known as Indian bison, gaur – seladang (Bos gaurus) in Malay – is the tallest among the wild cattle species. With its massive strong body, it roams around in the dense rainforest and rivers to search for food such as grasses, bushes, and trees. These bison normally stick together in small herds, led by an older adult female. Gaur spotted in Taman Negara © Bernard DUPONT/Flickr Hornbill Taman Negara has a vast array of hornbills hanging around at Kuala Tahan and Kuala Terenggan. Most areas in Kuala Tahan are ideal for birdwatching to view the colourful birds with huge bills posing and flying gracefully in the rainforest. They nest in larger trees and so due to logging activities, there is a lack of habitat for hornbills. Thanks to the protected Taman Negara, they have a protected home."

The puma goes by a few different names, including panther, mountain lion and cougar. The puma is said to hold the record for the animal with the most number of names! Pumas are nocturnal and have been described to be more similar to the smaller domestic cats than big ones such as lions. One could say they are the largest of the small cats, although they are the fourth largest of all cats, with males usually measuring around 2.5m in length and weighing around 62 kg (155 pounds). The sounds that they make are also more similar to those of small felines than the roars of the big cats. They communicate through growls, chirps and whistles. Pumas are usually solitary animals, keeping mainly to themselves. They can swim if they have to, but usually avoid the water."

To give some more information than in the article on Amazon mammals or the Amazon canopy animals, sloths are very poor movers when down on the ground and hardly ever move from the canopy. They do come down to defecate (strange for a canopy animal) and are exceptionally poor when moving around on the ground.

The largest anaconda ever captured……was 17 feet (5 meters) long and weighed 215 pounds (98 kilograms). That’s about as heavy as an adult black bear, and longer than a car!While there are reports of green anacondas growing over 30 feet (9 meters) long, and even one report of an anaconda that was 37.5 feet (11.4 meters) long — almost as long as a bus — weighing as much as 550 pounds (249 kilograms), these have not been confirmed. On average, green anacondas grow 10 to 15 feet (3 to 4.6 meters) long and weigh around 100 pounds (45 kilograms). They are usually 1 foot (0.3 meters) in diameter, which means they are as thick as three to four rolling pins put together. Females are longer and heavier than males, since they need to carry eggs. The green anaconda is the heaviest snake in the world, but not the longest."

Photo courtesy of Fabrício R. Santos. It may seem hard for a 250-pound animal to elude scientists, but a species of tapir managed to do just that for hundreds of years. Now details of the new, miniature tapir that lives in the Amazon rainforest are finally being brought to light. Tapirs are elusive, friendly and mostly nocturnal. Since 1865, there have been four known species of tapir—one in Asia and three in Central and South America. This new find is number five. The tapir species is new to science, but has been known to and hunted by tribes in the Amazon rainforests of Colombia and Brazil for millennia. Researchers tipped their hat to this fact in their selection of a species name, Tapirus kabomani, which means tapir in the local Paumari language.

The giant herbivore Paraceratherium stood 5.5 metres (18 ft) tall at the shoulder. When standing upright the creature’s head (which was approximately the same size as character actor Danny Devito) was about 8 metres (26 ft) above the ground. Although debate continues about how much the beast weighed, reasonable estimates suggest it could have massed from 15 to 20 metric tons which means that the animals were as large as mid-sized sauropod dinosaurs from the previous era. Partial skeletons of Paraceratherium were discovered by different scientists at different times–which has confusingly resulted in three different names for the genus: 1) Paraceratherium which means”near horn animal” in Greek; 2) Indricotherium which was derived from a mythical Russian progenitor-monster called the Indrik-Beast; and 3) Baluchitherium which means “Baluchistan beast”, in honor of Baluchistan, an arid portion of the Iranian plateau, where a fossil specimen was unearthed. Paleontologists prefer to call the genus “Paraceratherium,” however, thanks to TV specials and museum shows the name “Indricotherium” remains popular with the public. Artist’s Conception of Paraceratheriums Migrating (from asecic.org)Paraceratheriums were perissodactyls. The giant creatures were most closely related to the living rhinoceroses (although they shared ancestors with tapirs and horses as well). Paraceratherium’s immense size allowed it to eat the branches and leaves of large trees. They ranged across what is now Central Asia across Iran, India, Pakistan, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, and China."

The tattoo has several connotations. Teardrop tattoos usually signify the loss of a friend or loved one. Often, for a male, the tattoo is given to represent the death of a brother. [ citation needed] An empty tear signifies that the loved one has been killed or that the bearer has unsuccessfully attempted murder.

Originally placed in prison to signify that the bearer was owned by a fellow prisoner. In prison terms \"\"there bitch.\"\" The tear drop signifies that pain and humiliation one would feel after being \"\"turned out\"\" in prison. The tattoo is placed on the face to further humiliate the victim and mark them in a place where they could not cover the mark. Confusion about it's meaning has come from the victim's having to explain the tattoo when they get out of prison and have to explain it to family and loved one's. They would often state that they got the tattoo because they killed a man in prison. This statement was not far from the truth since their submissive act of becoming another man's \"\"bitch\"\" could easily be viewed as the death of their manhood. Problems arose when men on the outside began to get the tattoos and brag that it signified their killing someone or lost a loved one."

The major stage in African life is the transition from child to adult when they become fully institutionalized to the ethics of the group’s culture. Rites of passage are for this reason critical in nation building and identity formation. ( Shahadah)Marriage is a rite of passage Historically, in addition to the recurrent daily and seasonal patterns of African life and community,great ritual distinction is placed on the nonrecurring moments of personal life. These moments, which have been happening since the beginning of time, mark times of new beginning and transition from one life stage to another for the individual by dramatizing the transience of individual existence,It takes a village to raise a child– African Proverbwhile highlighting the social symbols that give the community its identity and integrate the person into a larger sphere of meaning. Click to Visit Ocacia Shop Rites of passage thus serve a double purpose; preserving the ongoing community as a symbol of collective immortality and permanence as well as providing a clear and guided means for transition from one life stage and sphere of responsibility to another. They thus confirm the hierarchies of values of the community and project an ideal sequence of personal development the individual can look forward to and upon reaching each stage, evaluate his or her maturation against a collective standard. African initiation rites link the individual to the community and the community to the broader and more potent spirit world. Initiation rites are proven to be a necessary extension of many communities and are as necessary and natural as are arms and legs are a natural and necessary extension of the human body. Rites of passage provide the African with the foundation of his or her being: Identity."

I was told it would last 3-5 years, but eight years later, it's still there... When I was 17 the mom of a friend in high school owned a beauty salon and did permanent makeup tattoos. She also did them as \"\"regular\"\" tattoos – ie., designs on skin not on the face. These supposedly lasted 3-5 years, and so it was a way to sort of try having a tattoo without a commitment. Also, 17 year-olds could get them without permission, since they were not permanent (the age limit for getting tattoos in my country is 18). I was told that the technique was different from a regular tattoo in that the ink was not put as deep into the skin. I had never wanted a tattoo, since I didn't (and still don't) think I could stay committed to a design all of my life. But, since this seemed like a fun way to \"\"fake it\"\", I got a small one (black, size of a stamp, but only outlined)."

"text": "\"Beauty & Style Skin & Body Tattoos What does a tear drop tattoo under the eye mean?-my friend told me it's how many times one has killed sombody. -i heard from some body it's how many times one has went to jail. Follow 29 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The teardrop tattoo is typically a prison tattoo. Traditionally placed next to the eye, either left or right, this striking mark makes its wearer appear to be permanently crying. While many prison tattoos are ethnicity specific, the teardrop is seen equally across the board. Originally, in North America, the teardrop meant that the wearer had committed at least one murder. In some places, it meant that the wearer had committed a murder in jail. This tattoo then had the power to warn away other convicts, and establish an image for the wearer, of self-defense that is imperative in the prison system. This symbol has evolved to represent family or friends of the prisoner who have died while the wearer is incarcerated. This is a very different implication, as it represents true grief, rather than an morbidly ironic gesture."

"text": "A telemetry nurse monitors, records, and interprets data about a patient's vital signs. He or she also provides patient care, educates patients about their conditions, and administers medication. Most of the time, these nurses work with patients who have ongoing health conditions or who are just out of surgery or intensive care. The training for this position varies regionally, but a person almost always has to become a Registered Nurse ( RN) before he or she can work in this field. Duties Telemetry nurses use different types of technology to monitor patients' blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, breathing patterns, and heart activity, among other things. They also record and interpret the data from the monitors, and use it to assess a patient's rate of recovery or to help doctors determine treatment methods. They commonly dispense medication, and must keep track of all the different medications a person is on to avoid drug interactions. In addition to this, they provide general patient care, assist doctors with procedures, and deal with any emergencies that come up. As patients recover, a telemetry nurse also educates them about their conditions and how to avoid relapses or potential problems after they leave the healthcare facility. Ad Work Environment Work as a telemetry nurse is generally fast-paced, as most are assigned around five patients at a time."

"text": "Telemetry Unit What is Telemetry? Telemetry is a term referring to sending electronic signals from one place to another. In the case of a Telemetry Unit, patients are electronically monitored 24 hours a day. Trained technicians are able to view a patient’s heart rate and heart rhythm from the nurse’s station. Any changes in the patient's heart rate or rhythm are communicated to the Registered Nurses and can be addressed immediately. The telemetry unit provides a more intense level of care than a typical inpatient medical unit, but a less intense level of care than the Intensive Care Unit. What Can I Expect? Since patients on the Telemetry Unit are continuously and remotely monitored, leads are attached to the patient's body and connected to a small box that is placed in the patient's hospital gown pocket. The leads and box transmit the patient's heart rate and heart rhythm to the monitoring device at the nurse's station. At regular intervals, the team will take vital signs."

It's about a 1 month program, doesn't earn you a degree, but you can be certified or licensed through the state. LPN or LVN = Licensed Pracitical or Licensed Vocational Nurse. Usually a 1 year program, does NOT earn you any degree, but you are eligible for state licensure as a LPN / LVN. More educated than a nursing assistant, can pass certain medications, perform certain skills like wound care, etc., but still not as qualified or hold as much responsibility as a RN RN = registered nurse, you can be one with a minimum of a 2 year Associates Degree."

He had shortness of breath, which is a symptom of MI. Was the tele tech asleep or EKG more accurate? Should an EKG be done automatically if someone is short of breath to rule out MI (if respiratory illness is not suspected)? Thanks.6 Comments Comment Apr 3, '11EKG is definitly more accurate! At least for my tele floor, our regular telemetry monitoring uses 5 leads, and the monitor shows a max of 2 leads at a time. Depending on where in the heart the MI occurs, it may not be visible on regular monitoring. We do 12 lead EKGs, so it shows 12 views of the heart at the same time."

"text": "Telemetry monitoring involves watching and analyzing data received at a distance from its source. It usually refers to a certain way of monitoring a hospital patient's heart activity, but it is also the way in which information is received from spaceships and orbiting satellites, among other things. In the context of cardiac monitoring, it serves the same purpose as an ordinary heart monitor, with the difference being that the patient is fitted with a transmitter that sends the data to the area of the hospital where the monitoring occurs. One of the main advantages of monitoring a patient in this way is that it allows the person to get up and move around, at least within the device's transmitting range. In many cases, this is highly preferable to having a patient confined to a bed so that his heart's activity can be observed. Telemetry monitoring has been the subject of a small amount of controversy within the medical community, however. Some medical professionals feel that it is overused and have even suggested discontinuing the practice. Most medical experts agree, however, that the practice can be highly valuable for some patients, particularly those going through a physical rehabilitation process. It allows a patient whose recovery depends on movement to pursue that recovery effectively, without his healthcare team having to give up the ability to monitor his heart. This extra security measure is a great advantage for many patients."

To do this you need to understand the concepts and principles of cardiac pacing and how to adjust the settings on the pulse generator. Let's start with cardiac pacing. A temporary pacemaker is typically indicated for patients with symptomatic bradycardias, such as slow escape rhythms, conduction defects, and heart blocks. The tip of the pacing catheter, or lead wire, sits against the inner wall of the right atrium, right ventricle, or both, depending upon the type of pacemaker placed—atrial, ventricular, or AV sequential, for example. The proximal end of the catheter is attached to the pulse generator. The pulse generator houses the pacemaker's controls and energy source. Electricity is delivered to the myocardium via the lead wire at a prescribed rate. Always check to see that the rate prescribed matches the rate set on the pulse generator. The mode of pacing can be set on either demand or asynchronous."

Many potential pitfalls can adversely affect the interpretation of 12-lead ambulatory and telemetry electrocardiograms (ECGs). Artifacts, for example, are a common finding in patients who require ECG monitoring. Artifacts are defined as ECG abnormalities that may be due to sources other than the electrical activity of the heart. Failure to correctly distinguish between an arrhythmia and artifact can result in misdiagnosis and unnecessary therapeutic interventions. 1The most common causes of artifacts originate from internal (physiological) and external (non-physiological) sources (Table 1 ⇓ )."

"title": "http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/telemetry\ntelemetry",
"text": "Definitiontelemetry Posted by: Margaret Rouse What Is.com Contributor (s): Neal Winters Telemetry is the automatic measurement and wireless transmission of data from remote sources. In general, telemetry works in the following way: Sensors at the source measure either electrical data (such as voltage or current) or physical data (such as temperature or pressure). These measurements are converted to specific electrical voltages. A multiplexer combines the voltages, along with timing data, into a single data stream for transmission to a remote receiver. Upon reception, the data stream is separated into its original components and the data is displayed and processed according to user specifications. In 1912, the first telemetrics application in Chicago used telephone lines to transmit operational data from a power plant to a central office. Because telemetry was originally used in projects like this, the first telemetry systems were called supervisory systems. In 1960, the interrogation-reply principle was developed, which allowed a more selective transmission of data upon request. At that time, a telemetry transmitter consisted of a set of measuring instruments, an encoder that translated instrument readings into analog or digital signals, a modulator, and a wireless transmitter with an antenna. The receiver consisted of an antenna, a set of radio-frequency ( RF) amplifiers, a demodulator and recording devices."

If you’re wondering why telemetry should matter to you, then look no further – read on to learn more about telemetry, how it works, and why it matters. Definition of Telemetry Telemetry is the automatic recording and transmission of data from remote or inaccessible sources to an IT system in a different location for monitoring and analysis. Telemetry data may be relayed using radio, infrared, ultrasonic, GSM, satellite or cable, depending on the application (telemetry is not only used in software development, but also in meteorology, intelligence, medicine, and other fields). In the software development world, telemetry can offer insights on which features end users use most, detection of bugs and issues, and offering better visibility into performance without the need to solicit feedback directly from users. How Telemetry Works In a general sense, telemetry works through sensors at the remote source which measures physical (such as precipitation, pressure or temperature) or electrical (such as current or voltage) data. This is converted to electrical voltages that are combined with timing data. They form a data stream that is transmitted over a wireless medium, wired or a combination of both. At the remote receiver, the stream is disaggregated and the original data displayed or processed based on the user’s specifications."

So we’ve added a new feature to Brain FPV RE1 that allows you to easily configure your FPV video transmitter through the on-screen display (OSD) menu with no fuss. This feature currently works with video transmitters by Team Blacksheep and is essential for FPV racing and just awesome for FPV in general. Why do we need different frequencies? Video transmitters for FPV come in a variety of shapes and sizes from numerous manufacturers. The most popular ones operate in the 5.8GHz ISM band, which is the same band that is often used for Wi Fi and goes from 5725MHz to 5875MHz, so there is a total of 150MHz available. A typical analog FPV video feed requires about 20MHz of bandwidth and we need some frequency spacing between the feeds, so only 4 or 5 pilots can typically fly at the same time. This means that the FPV video frequencies have to be carefully allocated and pilots often need to change the frequency before they can fly."

A transmitter attached to the study animal broadcasts pulsed signals in the VHF portion of the electromagnetic spectrum (30 to 300 MHz). Study animals given unique frequencies, so that individuals can be followed. Researchers use specialized antennas and receivers to track study animals. Despite newer technologies that surpass the capabilities of VHF telemetry, the equipment continues to be a research staple. Moreover, a new application of VHF technology allows for automatic detection of tagged animals. See Automated Radio Telemetry section below. Well tested technique Can be used on animals of many sizes Relatively low cost Material improvements continue to increase utility of the technology Number of analysis techniques developed to work with VHF telemetry data.

"text": "Related Articles1Cardiac Telemetry Technician Training2EKG Technician Certification Programs3EKG Technician National Certification Requirements4How Much Does an EKG Technician Make an Hour? Telemetry is an electronic system designed to monitor a patient's heart activity. The heart is an electrical system and the monitors pick up cardiac activity, displaying it in electrical patterns on a computer screen for medical staff to see. Different heart rhythms indicate problems or diseases of the heart and require different treatment. Telemetry technicians, also called monitoring technicians or electrocardiograph technicians, are trained to recognize heart rhythms. Education A telemetry technician course usually takes about 120 hours hours of study, although expanded courses can double the time. Telemetry technicians learn to apply EKG leads, recognize and interpret heart rhythms. Technicians are prepared to work in hospital intensive care units,telemetry departments or other areas that provide heart monitoring services. Most programs require a high school diploma or GED, and drug screening as well as a background check might be necessary in some states. Telemetry technicians might also be trained on the job, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics."

"text": "A telemetry nurse monitors, records, and interprets data about a patient's vital signs. He or she also provides patient care, educates patients about their conditions, and administers medication. Most of the time, these nurses work with patients who have ongoing health conditions or who are just out of surgery or intensive care. The training for this position varies regionally, but a person almost always has to become a Registered Nurse ( RN) before he or she can work in this field. Duties Telemetry nurses use different types of technology to monitor patients' blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, breathing patterns, and heart activity, among other things. They also record and interpret the data from the monitors, and use it to assess a patient's rate of recovery or to help doctors determine treatment methods. They commonly dispense medication, and must keep track of all the different medications a person is on to avoid drug interactions. In addition to this, they provide general patient care, assist doctors with procedures, and deal with any emergencies that come up. As patients recover, a telemetry nurse also educates them about their conditions and how to avoid relapses or potential problems after they leave the healthcare facility. Ad Work Environment Work as a telemetry nurse is generally fast-paced, as most are assigned around five patients at a time."

This near-total face transplant was the first surgery of its kind in the U. S.

Siemionow says she was subconsciously thinking about the patient's family and the rescue plan, if the surgery were to take a bad turn. \"\" We were working for an unknown outcome,\"\" she says. But after connecting the arteries and veins of the donor's face with Culp's own, the new face \"\"pinked up\"\" – a sign to the transplant team that the surgery was working.

The basic idea is that telemetry is transmitted through the 3DR radio modules, but then on the ground it is relayed to a Bluetooth module which will transmit/receive the telemetry data wireless to your phone/PC/tablet.

RTU is a microprocessor-controlled, stand-alone electronic device that interfaces objects in the physical world to a Distributed control system or SCADA system by transmitting telemetry data to a master system, and by using messages from the master supervisory system to control connected objects. Its primary task is to control and acquire data from process equipment at the remote location and to transfer this data back to the central station. It generally also has the facility for having its configuration and control programs dynamically downloaded from central station.2- “ PLC ” stands for “ Programmable Logic Controller \"\". PLC is basically a digital computer used for automation of electromechanical processes for example, assembly lines in factories, light fixtures, amusement rides, etc. They are specially designed for output arrangements and multiple inputs. They have electrical noise immunity, vibration and impact resistance, varied temperature ranges, etc. PLC can be standalone or networked."

You should have something in place anyway of course but in practice I suspect that application monitoring is either frequently overlooked or remains stubbornly on the to-do list. A successful continuous delivery pipeline implementation shouldn't rely on the telephone or email as the alerting system and in this post in my blog series on implementing continuous delivery with TFS we look at how to integrate relevant parts of Microsoft's Application Insights (AI) tooling in to the pipeline. If you need to get up to speed with its capabilities I have a Getting Started blog post here. As a quick refresher AI is a suite of components that integrate with your application and servers and which sends telemetry to the Azure Portal. As a bonus, not only do you get details of diagnostic issues but also rich analytics on how you application is being used. Big Picture AI isn't just one component and in fact there are at least three main ways in which AI can be configured to provide diagnostic and analytic information: Adding the Application Insights SDK to your application. Installing Status Monitor on an IIS server. Creating Web Tests that monitor the availability of an HTTP endpoint available on the public Internet. One key point to appreciate with AI and continuous delivery pipelines is that unless you do something about it AI will put the data it collects from the different stages of your pipeline in one ‘bucket' and you won't easily be able to differentiate what came from where."

The patients they work with are often at high risk for complications, so RNs in a telemetry unit must carefully review equipment and data to detect potential symptoms of distress or danger. A career as a telemetry nurse requires advanced medical knowledge, technical expertise, compassion and strong interpersonal skills to care for patients who may have life-threatening conditions. Duties of a Telemetry Nurse In the telemetry unit of a hospital, patients are often in critical condition and need constant monitoring and care. Telemetry nurses review data from special equipment to track a patient’s heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and other vitals. They also carry out more traditional nursing duties such as administering medications and communicating with patients regarding their condition. Since most of the patients in a telemetry unit have suffered heart attacks or are recovering from cardiac surgery, some RNs specialize in cardiac telemetry and are proficient in the use of electrocardiogram equipment. However, telemetry units may also be used to monitor patients with sleep disorders or neurological issues, such as epilepsy. Since constant monitoring is required for patients within a telemetry unit, hospitals need to have telemetry RNs on duty 24/7. These nurses often work long shifts, including nights, weekends and holidays."

"text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Technology Inventions How temperature transmitter work? Flag How temperature transmitter work? Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. A temperature transmitter works by connecting to it some form of temperature sensor. For example a RTD (Resistance temperature device) or Thermocouple. In the case of a RTD connected to the transmitter the transmitter measures a change in resistance of the RTD proportional to the change in temperature measured. The transmitter then derives a current output (generally 4-20m A) which can be measured by an instrument, such as a PLC, loop indicator ect. In the case of a thermocouple a Milli voltage is produced at a junction of two dissimilar metals, this change in Milli voltage again proportional to the change in temperature and the transmitter again derives a current output measurable by a instrument. The transmitter will be ranged by a programming device, say for example an application where process temperatures need to be measured between 0-100 degrees, the transmitter will be ranged 0-100 degrees and thus give an output proportional to the temperature measured by the sensing element. 0 degrees = 4m A, 100 degrees = 20m A. A excitation supply will be connected to the transmitter and the 4-20m A will flow in this loop back to the measuring instrument."

We have the loggerhead transmitters calibrated to record data down to a depth of 250m. The transmitters do not transmit when they are underwater. A saltwater switch turns the unit off if it is submerged. This saves on battery life because high frequency radio waves (401 MHz) do not travel well through sea water.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Thermal transmittance, also known as U-value, is the rate of transfer of heat (in watts) through one square metre of a structure, divided by the difference in temperature across the structure. It is expressed in watts per square metre kelvin, W/m²K, or W.m −2 . K −1. Well-insulated parts of a building have a low thermal transmittance whereas poorly insulated parts of a building have a high thermal transmittance. Losses due to thermal radiation, thermal convection and thermal conduction are taken into account in the U-value. Although it has the same units as heat transfer coefficient, thermal transmittance is different in that the heat transfer coefficient is used to solely describe heat transfer in fluids while thermal transmittance is used to simplify an equation that has several different forms of thermal resistances. It is described by the equation:Φ = A × U × (T 1 - T 2)where Φ is the heat transfer in watts, U is the thermal transmittance, T 1 is the temperature on one side of the structure, T 2 is the temperature on the other side of the structure and A is the area in square metres. Thermal transmittances of most walls and roofs can be calculated using ISO 6946, unless there is metal bridging the insulation in which case it can be calculated using ISO 10211.

The \"\"Fleming diode\"\" was based on an effect that Thomas Edison had first discovered in 1880, and had not put to useful work at the time. This diode essentially consisted of an incandescent light bulb with an extra electrode inside. When the bulb's filament is heated white-hot, electrons are boiled off its surface and into the vacuum inside the bulb. If the extra electrode (also called an \"\"plate\"\" or \"\"anode\"\") is made more positive than the hot filament, a direct current flows through the vacuum. And since the extra electrode is cold and the filament is hot, this current can only flow from the filament to the electrode, not the other way. So, AC signals can be converted into DC. Fleming's diode was first used as a sensitive detector of the weak signals produced by the new wireless telegraph. Later (and to this day), the diode vacuum tube was used to convert AC into DC in power supplies for electronic equipment. Many other inventors tried to improve the Fleming diode, most without success."

( September 2014) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Solar gain through windows includes energy transmitted directly through the glass and energy absorbed by the glass and frame and then re-radiated into the space. Solar gain is illustrated by the snow on the roof of this house: sunlight has melted all of the snow, except for the area that is shaded by the chimney to the right. Solar gain (also known as solar heat gain or passive solar gain) refers to the increase in thermal energy of a space, object or structure as it absorbs incident solar radiation. The amount of solar gain a space experiences is a function of the total incident solar irradiance and of the ability of any intervening material to transmit or resist the radiation. Objects struck by sunlight absorb its visible and short-wave infrared components, increase in temperature, and then re-radiate that heat at longer infrared wavelengths. Though transparent building materials such as glass allow visible light to pass through almost unimpeded, once that light is converted to long-wave infrared radiation by materials indoors, it is unable to escape back through the window since glass is opaque to those longer wavelengths. The trapped heat thus causes solar gain via a phenomenon known as the greenhouse effect."

They hold up a large vehicle and provide that very important contact patch that is literally where the rubber meets the road. Tires supply the friction we need to get going, and the grip needed to stop. They are an important component of the suspension system, providing a cushion between the harsh realities of uneven road surfaces and the precious cargo riding inside our home away from home. Tires must meet specific specifications in size, shape, rubber compounds, sidewall structure and nonrubber components to provide grip, strength and durability. All of these tire construction characteristics are designed and built around one all-important specification that gives the tire sufficient load carrying capacity: proper tire inflation. So much depends on the motorhome and dinghy vehicle tires having the right pressure, but safety tops the list. When tire pressure is out of spec, vehicles do not start, stop, steer or corner properly. An underinflated tire can soon get hot and fail, even come off of the wheel, causing loss of control and possibly a crash. Fuel economy is another motivation to maintain proper inflation."

The first industrial Coriolis patents date back to the 1950s, and the first Coriolis mass flow meters were built in the 1970s. When a fluid is flowing in a pipe and it is subjected to Coriolis acceleration through the mechanical introduction of apparent rotation into the pipe, the amount of deflecting force generated by the Coriolis inertial effect will be a function of the mass flow rate of the fluid. If a pipe is rotated around a point while liquid is flowing through it (toward or away from the center of rotation), that fluid will generate an inertial force (acting on the pipe) that will be at right angles to the direction of the flow.

Referencing the figure on the right, a particle (dm) travels at a velocity (V) inside a tube (T) in a Coriolis meter. The tube is rotating about a fixed point (P), and the particle is at a distance of one radius (R) from the fixed point. The particle moves with angular velocity (w) under two components of acceleration, a centripetal acceleration directed toward P and a Coriolis acceleration acting at right angles to a r :a r (centripetal) = w 2r a t (Coriolis) = 2wv In order to impart the Coriolis acceleration (a t) to the fluid particle, a force of a t (dm) has to generated by the tube. The fluid particle reacts to this force with an equal and opposite Coriolis force: F c = a t (dm) = 2wv (dm)Then, if the process fluid has density D and is flowing at constant speed inside a rotating tube of cross-sectional area A, a segment of the tube of length x will experience a Coriolis force of magnitude: F c = 2wv DAx Because the mass flowrate is dm = Dv A, the Coriolis force F c = 2w (dm)x and, finally: Mass Flow = F c / (2wx)This is how measurement of the Coriolis force exerted by the flowing fluid on the rotating tube can provide an indication of mass flowrate."

Tetrode and pentode valves have very flat anode current vs. anode voltage indicating high anode output impedances. Triodes show a stronger relationship between anode voltage and anode current. The high working voltage makes them well suited for radio transmitters and valves remain in use today for very high power short wave radio transmitters, where solid state techniques would require many devices in parallel, and very high DC supply currents. High power solid state transmitters also require complex combining and tuning networks, whereas a valve-based transmitter would use a single relatively simple tuned network. Thus while solid state high power short wave transmitters are technically possible, economic considerations still favor valves above 3 MHz and 10,000 watts."

There are a few other companies that manufacture ADT-compliant sensors, cameras, detectors and other products, but even those companies generally use Honeywell or GE components. The series name or number is usually somewhere on the sensor. Since they are standard products, users can save a lot of expenses if a magnet comes loose or the case cracks, for example. You can buy replacement parts quickly at Amazon or a retailer. However, if the sensor goes bad, you will have to purchase it through ADT since they have no DYI instructions for users to connect it themselves to the system. The smart appliances compatible with ADT, also mostly from Honeywell and DSC, communicate with Z-Wave technology. Z-Wave is the most common smart device protocol and allows the system to connect and perform whatever tasks the user wants remotely.

By Mike Morris WA6ILQLots of hams and scanner listeners use tone squelch today without really understanding it. Land Mobile Radio, or LMR (the FCC's name for commercial 2-way radio) has been around since the late 1930s. Even back when 33 MHz was considered to be the \"\"ultra high frequencies\"\" there were problems with channel sharing. Motorola came up with a way to get more than one Land Mobile user on the same frequency - they determined that different customers could coexist on the same frequency (called co-channel users) if they did not have to listen to each other. In the early 1950s the geniuses in Moto R&D developed a system that added a low frequency tone to the existing transmitter audio that was present as long as the transmitter was keyed. The receiver was modified by adding a tone detector circuit to the receiver and then the receiver squelch was modified so that it wouldn't open unless the tone was there. They also modified the receiver audio circuits to strip the audio tone out of the speaker audio. The legal folks patented the idea and the technique then trademarked the term \"\"Private Line\"\". Sales literature of the time compared the system to the receiver having a front door lock on it, and multiple transmitters (one for each of the co-channel users) having different keys, and only the signal with the correct \"\"key\"\" could open the lock."

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. To self-monitor you are most likely going to need to pay a monthly fee but because you have installed yourself you have a choice of providers you can work with to get the best price and service with some offering the service on a month by month basis.

The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles that come together as tendons to form a \"\"cuff\"\" over the head of the humerus (upper arm bone). The four muscles—supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis and teres minor—originate from the scapula (shoulder blade). The rotator cuff tendons attach to the head of the humerus in special spots referred to as the greater and lesser tuberosities. The rotator cuff helps to lift and rotate the arm and to stabilize the ball of the shoulder within the joint. What causes a rotator cuff tear and how would I know if I have one? A rotator cuff tear may result from an acute injury, such as a fall, or may be caused by normal age-related wear and tear with degeneration of the tendon. Typically, you will feel pain in the front of your shoulder that radiates down the side of your arm. It may be present with overhead activities such as lifting or reaching. You may feel pain when you try to sleep on the affected side."

Although this risk has been known for some time, manufacturers of these antibiotics provide inadequate warnings to doctors and consumers. As a result, users continue to experience Cipro and Levaquin tendon ruptures because they are not aware that they should be concerned about development of tendon pain or inflammation.>>PRIOR POST (1/7/08): Cipro and Levaquin lawsuit filed by consumer group regarding risk of tendon ruptures Fluoroquinolones are a class of antibiotics which are used to prevent bacteria from reproducing in the body, which could cause infection. Levaquin (levofloxacin) and Cipro (ciprofloxacin) are two of the more popular drugs in this class of antibiotics, but others which could also be associated with the risk of tendon damage include Tequin (gatifloxacin), Penetrex (enoxacin), Factive (gemifloxacin), Maxaquin (lomefloxacin), Avelox (moxifloxacin), Noroxin (norfloxacin), Floxin (Ofloxacin) and Trovan (trovafloxacin). For over a decade, manufacturers of these antibiotics have received reports of people suffering inflamed or ruptured tendons, particularly in the shoulder, hand and Achilles tendon. The tendon problems have occured within a few days of taking the antibiotic or months after the course of therapy is finished. Tendon ruptures are a serious and debilitating injury which can require extensive therapy, weeks of casting and possible surgery. An achilles tendon rupture is a complete tear of the tendon which connects the calf muscle and the heel of the foot. A tear of this tendon could cause the heel to lose stability, impairing a person’s ability to walk, run, jump or perform any activities which involve use of the foot. Last month the consumer advocacy group, Public Citizen, filed a Cipro and Levaquin lawsuit against the FDA asking the court to require the drug regulators to act on a petition they filed over a year ago."

The knee provides both strength and flexibility during leg movements, while being loose enough to allow the freedom for quick movements and changes in directions. It is not the bones inside the knee that provides stability, instead it is the soft tissue (tendons, ligaments, muscles, menisci) that holds the femur (thigh bone), the tibia (shinbone), the fibula (the slender bone in the lower leg) and the patella (kneecap) together at the joint. The knee cap (patella) is a bone embedded within a tendon (the largest sesamoid) that rests over a groove at the bottom of the rounded thigh bone and the top of the shinbone. It protects the bones and soft tissue in your knee joint and helps with extension for your leg. The tendons in the knee are tough cords of tissue that connect muscle to bone and help control movement of your joint. The upper leg muscles provide your knees with mobility (extension, flexion and rotation) and strength. The quadriceps muscles located on the front of your thigh (rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius) straighten your legs. The hamstring muscles located on the back of your thigh (semitendinosus, semimembranosus, biceps femoris) bend your knees and the small but might popliteus muscle help the leg from locking and starts the movement of your leg."

"text": "PRP for Tendon Avulsions and Avulsion Fractures General Overview Tendon avulsions and avulsion fractures are very serious injuries that require immediate care. If these injuries are not adequately treated a horse will experience lameness (the extent depending on the severity of the injury) and perhaps even permanent damage. When a horse suffers from a tendon avulsion, its tendon pulls away from the bone. Oftentimes, a portion of the bone will break off. The latter is referred to as an avulsion fracture because the bone actually breaks. Both tendon avulsions and avulsion fractures are very painful. When a horse has either or both of these injuries, it will be obvious that something is wrong. As soon as there is evidence of something is, it is important to take the horse to the veterinarian for a proper diagnosis and treatment. A treatment plan will be developed by the veterinarian that is appropriate for the horse and the injury it has sustained. A horse that experiences a tendon avulsion or avulsion fracture may do so after falling, kicking or running into another object."

"text": "Shoulder – Rotator Cuff Tears Physical therapists commonly treat individuals who have experienced an injury to the group of muscles/tendons in the shoulder called the ‘Rotator Cuff.’ This group of tissues can actually become torn if the cause of micro or macro-trauma is not treated or prevented. The following article provides an overview of the structures involved, the condition itself, and the treatment options available. What is the anatomy of rotator cuff? The shoulder complex is made up of three bones, which are connected by muscles, ligaments, and tendons. The large bone in the upper arm is called the humerus. The shoulder blade is called the scapula and the collarbone is called the clavicle. The top of the humerus is shaped like a ball. This ball sits in a socket on the end of the scapula. The ball is called the head of the humerus and the socket is called the glenoid fossa, hence the term “glenohumeral” joint."

"text": "Introduction Physical Therapy in Louisiana for Shoulder Welcome to Moreau Physical Therapy's patient resource about Labral Tears. Since orthopedic surgeons began using a tiny TV camera called an arthroscope to diagnose and treat shoulder problems, they have discovered several conditions that no one knew existed. One of these conditions is an injury to a small structure in the shoulder called the labrum. A labral tear can cause pain and a catching sensation in the shoulder. Labral tears can be very difficult to diagnose. This document will help you understand:where and what the labrum iswhat tests your doctor will run to diagnose the problemwhat you can do to relieve your pain Anatomy What is the labrum? The shoulder is made up of three bones: the scapula (shoulder blade), the humerus (upper arm bone), and the clavicle (collarbone). Shoulder Bones A part of the scapula, called the glenoid, makes up the socket of the shoulder. The glenoid is very shallow and flat. The labrum is a rim of soft tissue that makes the socket more like a cup."

Calcific tendonitis of the shoulder happens when calcium deposits form on the tendons of your shoulder. The tissues around the deposit can become inflamed, causing a great deal of shoulder pain. This condition is fairly common. It most often affects people over the age of 40. This guide will help you understand:what happens in the shoulder with calcific tendonitiswhat tests will be run to diagnose this conditionwhat you can do to help relieve the pain Davis and De Rosa Physical Therapy’s approach to rehabilitation Anatomy Which part of the shoulder is affected? Calcific tendonitis occurs in the tendons (tendons attach muscles to bones) of the rotator cuff. The rotator cuff is actually made up of several tendons that connect the muscles around your shoulder to the humerus (the larger bone of the upper arm). Calcium deposits usually form on the tendon in the rotator cuff called the supraspinatus tendon. There are two different types of calcific tendonitis of the shoulder: degenerative calcification and reactive calcification."

Gluteus medius tendonitis (sometimes spelled tendinitis and pronounced 'tendinitus') is an injury where your gluteus medius tendon is irritated or inflamed. You will feel this irritation, swelling and inflammation when there is a strain, damage or micro-tearing to the tendon tissue. This injury can happen from overuse of the tendon or an accident of some kind. The hip is a complicated joint and so if you are suffering from gluteus medius tendonitis it might be hard to tell. Pain can easily be transferred to other areas of the hip, thigh, lower back or buttock. Sometimes pain can even shoot down the side of your leg. If left untreated, gluteus medius tendonitis can turn into a chronic condition or degeneration of your tendon fibers."

They are also common among both active and sedentary (inactive) middle-aged adults. These problems cause pain at the back of the calf. Severe cases may result in a rupture of the Achilles tendon. This guide will help you understand• where the Achilles tendon is located • what kinds of Achilles tendon problems there are • how an injured Achilles tendon causes problems • what treatment options are available Anatomy Where is the Achilles tendon, and what does it do? The Achilles tendon is a strong, fibrous band that connects the calf muscle to the heel. The calf is actually formed by two muscles, the underlying soleus and the thick outer gastrocnemius. Together, they form the gastroc-soleus muscle group."

"text": "\"Scotts Steering Stabilizer Technical Information What is a Scotts Steering Stabilizer? It is a compact, fully adjustable, hydraulic shock absorbing damper, that mounts to your steering head area right above your handlebar mount. It helps control the natural tendency of the “left to right” front end movements known as “head shake” on a motorcycle. By helping to stabilize the front end of your motorcycle, the rear of the motorcycle will track straighter allowing the rest of your suspension to work the way it was designed to. The result in stabilizing the front end means more precise steering also. In addition, the Scotts Steering Stabilizer eliminates that sudden \"\"thrust-effect” of having the handlebars pulled from your hands after unknowingly hitting something unforeseen like rocks, tree roots, rain ruts and potholes. It also helps to minimize rider fatigue and the dreaded “arm-pump” situation that occurs while wrestling the front end of your bike, especially in rougher terrain. Once mounted, it dramatically reduces the unwanted phenomenon known as \"\"Head-shake\"\" that is commonly found on ALL off-road production motorcycles and especially predominant on road bikes once you let off the throttle and the front end dives, causing that “wobble” sensation from increased head angles. This is more predominant now a-days due to the steeper head angles you find on production bikes. It helps keep your motorcycle going straight in the whoops, reduces head shake approaching turns, and smoothes out those rough sections by preventing those handlebar wrenching jolts."

There are so many different levels of firefighter salary around the U. S. Still, a recent Money Nation analysis does give a pretty good picture of the ranges of annual pay that any given firefighter can expect to occupy. The “typical” firefighter in the U. S. makes $45,970 per year, or $23 per hour, but that’s like quoting the salary for the “typical videographer.” Some videographers make very little money shooting low-end weddings while some shoot documentaries for national TV. It’s possible for a firefighter to make as much as $400,000 per year and retire with a gigantic pension in certain situations. New Jersey’s typical firefighter pay comes out to over $80,000 per year, with 10% of firefighters there making over $116,000. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) there are about 320,000 firefighters in America. Data from the National Fire Protection Association disputes this, putting the number at a much higher 1.1 million. The BLS data only counts career firefighters while the NFPA includes volunteer firefighters in their numbers."

Electrical Muscle Stimulation devices have been advertised to do the following: Weight loss Pain relief similar to a TENS unit Rehabilitation & Muscle Toning Recovery Training The term EMS also goes by the name of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES), or simply “electromyostimulation”… it’s all the same.1. No Weight Loss Claims The U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allows Electronic Muscle Stimulation devices for over the counter usage as long as it’s clearly marked as muscle toning and strength building, because after all, it really does tone the muscle, IF you crank the intensity high enough. You CANNOT call EMS units a “weight loss” product, despite the fact you might lose weight with it. You think your muscles are burning calories, but if you just want to burn calories, you are probably better off burning calories by doing some sort of aerobic activity.2. Pain Relief similar to a TENS unit. Not a true TENS, but…TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator) is common in the use of electric current for pain therapy, especially people with lower back problems. In theory, Electric Muscle Stimulation units are not the same as a TENS unit used for pain relief, because it is a therapy which requires a prescription. However, in the Globus EMS Speed Coach units [NOTE: SPORT and PLUS units only… see the chart below] or even the standard Globus EMS units, there are programs such as “Active Recovery”, “Massage” and “Stretch Relax” that obtain the same effect of pain relief. Some of the muscle toning programs are similar to certain TENS programs, and users have reported they obtain good pain-killing results with the programs above.3."

"text": "\"Articles Choosing Between A Tens or An Interferential Machine For Pain Hits: 73793How do I decide on a Tens or an Interferential Unit and what is the difference between tens & interferential therapy? What is a Tens or Tns machine? Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulator (TNS) is a small lightweight portable device that goes off and on from 1- 150 times per second, which is referred to as frequency or rate, pulses per second ( PPS). The tens pain machine can be worn continuously, even sleeping with it on to help the patient sleep. A Tens machine is not addictive, nor like drugs, does it affect ones mental abilities to think and reason. Often if the Tens machine is turned off the pain comes back. There is no residual pain relief generally speaking when one uses a Tens unit. Fro many patients the tens pain machine may be worn continuously. What is Interferential? Interferential machines go off and on from 8,001 to 8,150 times per second."

After 5 years, foam, powder and water extinguishers need to be refilled. CO2 extinguisher only need to be refilled after ten years. And in theory you can indeed refill CO2 extinguishers after ten years, however, BSI requires you to pressure test the cylinder and to re-paint it, so it is usually not worth it, as it is cheaper to buy new.

"text": "\"Exploring Valuable Places: Extended Place Value Concepts into Operationsby Autumn Laidler To Guide Entry Send / Read Comments Introduction Objectives Background Strategies Activities Works Cited Implementing District Standards Notes Introduction I have only one short hour a day for math instruction and at third and fourth grade much of the time is used to teach algorithms and solving problems. Admittedly, I often prioritize teaching algorithms and steps so that children have the necessary skills to solve problems so that we can move forward onto new material. Teaching problem solving methods is satisfying. For example, when dealing with subtraction problems, training students to perform the standard right to left algorithm which involves (often blindly) crossing through a place value, reducing values by one, adding dashes to make values ten more and finally arriving at the correct answer feels like success! The success, however, is often disappointing when I ask a student to explain what he or she just did and explain why, he or she has only a shoulder shrug to offer, or a \"\"that's just what you do to get it right\"\" type of reply. The inclusion of place value concepts in the teaching of operations in elementary mathematics education may help students obtain not only a right answer, but also a reason for why the answer is correct. The intent of this unit is to tie the concepts of place value to operational algorithms in order to provide students with a conceptual understanding of addition, subtraction, and multiplication, and not just a procedure. I teach in a third and fourth grade classroom at Westcott Elementary in Chicago, IL. The students are in my classroom for both third and fourth grade. Westcott consists of ninety-nine percent African-American students."

Table of Contents1 What Is TENS Unit Therapy?2 How Does TENS Unit Therapy Work?3 Conditions Related To TENS Therapy4 How To Use A TENS Unit5 TENS Unit Therapy Side Effects And Risk6 Conclusion7 References TENS, or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, is a drug-free alternative for managing pain. Doctors routinely recommend TENS therapy for acute and chronic pain management because it is a low-risk, noninvasive type of treatment. A TENS unit device looks like a small cell phone and has one or two sets of wire leads attached. The wire leads have a set of self-adhering pads attached to them. This device generates a gentle electrical current that travels through the lead wires to the pads to the body. The therapy works to decrease pain levels by electrically stimulating the local sensory fibers, overriding the brain’s ability to process the pain messages from that area. A good analogy is when you rub your knee when you hit it against something. The rubbing sensation somewhat overrides the pain sensation and provides mild pain relief. A TENS device is a safe option for many, however, if you have a pacemaker or are pregnant, you should avoid this type of therapy."

Increased circulation encourageshealing and helps reduce muscle spasm. A second generation TENS unit called The Pain Suppressor is also available; it produces an electrical current but water is used as a conducting substance, it is not attached to the skin, and the patient does not perceive theelectrode current. Treatments are administered several times per day. TENS is an alternative to drugs for the management of pain and can be used in a variety of conditions."

Ralph Waldo Emerson I have been asked so many times over the years about ‘plug in pest control devices’. Do they really work? Usually the question comes from a new customer who is standing in her kitchen with roaches scurrying about while her 8 pest control plug ins hum quietly along. Obviously not is what the smug dark side of me wants to say; but almost always the polite little bug guy comes out in me and explains to her that they are ineffective and actually cost her more by taking up valuable electricity. Invariably the devices are still in place with the next service and there they’ll stay for the duration. I’m sure she just can’t give up hope that somehow this scientifically proven method can’t be wrong. Actually tests have proven the devices are bogus and I was right.

That is, in fact, what is done on some new wood boats: all new wood and all exposed wood is painted or injected with CPES™. It partially waterproofs the wood, sets up a barrier that discourages the influx of rot fungi (if they're not already in the wood), and discourages insect penetration, which sometimes leads to rot problems. But a boat is small, the wood all top grade - and we're buying wholesale!CPES™ makes an excellent wood primer for any type of paint. On good wood it spreads a long way, and normal primers can be eliminated, so the expense is not outrageous. There are areas in and around the house that are especially subject to rotting, and these can be treated with CPES™, or a combination of CPES™ and a disodium octaborate tetrahydrate solution application. We recommend that the powder dissolved in water method be used, since it interferes less with CPES™ penetration than does the disodium in glycol. First, apply the disodium solution, let the wood dry, and then the CPES™ to seal it in. This combination will give you an almost bulletproof barrier against wood decomposition, especially if particular attention is paid to end-grain sections. Certain areas are obvious: windowsills, wood gutters and surrounding wood, post and column bases, wood framing, and we'll get to some of those in the repair section."

The termite belongs to the order of the roaches called Blattodea. It has been known for decades that termites are closely related to cockroaches, predominately the wood eating species of roach. Until recently, the termites were the order Isoptera, which is now the suborder. This new taxonomical shift is supported by data and research to confirm the new comparison that termites are actually social cockroaches. This suborder of Isoptera has over 2,600 species worldwide, and 50 species that call North America their home. The heaviest populated areas are located in the tropic and sub tropic regions. The origin of the name Isoptera is Greek and means two pairs of straight wings. The termite has been called the white ant over the years and commonly confused with the true ant. It wasn’t until modern times and the use of microscopes they were able to observe distinguishing features between the two orders."

I suggest you research termite treatment firms on the web, find three that seem reputable (have been in business for many years, etc.) and contact them and ask for a quote - which is free. There are normally two types of termites to worry about in the bay area: subterranean and drywall. The inspection will take 20 or 30 minutes, and they will tell you whether your parents have \"\"subs\"\" or \"\"drywall\"\" termites and what the treatment options are."

"text": "Termite Tenting Cost When choosing a company to perform termite tent fumigation, take into account any other pest control services you may need. Pest control companies may be willing to give you a discount if you require different treatments. For example, if your home also requires termite repairs, preventative sprayings, and other services, then it might be worth it to find a company that offers all of these services, and ask for a bundled discount. The cost of termite tenting varies depending on the number of cubic feet that is treated. This allows fumigation companies to charge for the volume of gas used. When fumigating a property, the entire home is covered and filled with gas. This includes the basement, deck, and garage. When calculating costs, the company will look at the square feet of the house, and then take into account the height of the ceilings. On average, the cost of fumigation is between $1-2 per square foot. This varies depending on the height of the structure, in order to compensate for a greater volume of gas used."

( Margaret Thomas/The Washington Post)By Kevin Brasler of Washington Consumers' Checkbook January 14, 2015Because we share our world with a mind-boggling number and variety of creepy crawlies, it’s almost inevitable that at some point you’ll be sharing your home with some of them. When it happens, you want them out — now. If you’re ready to call in an exterminator, choose carefully: In a study of 88 local operators, Checkbook.org found big company-to-company differences when it asked area consumers to rate pest-control services they had used. Of the 88 companies, 12 were rated “superior” overall by 90 percent or more of their customers Checkbook surveyed, but 17 companies got such favorable ratings from only 50 percent or fewer of their surveyed customers. Companies’ lowest ratings resulted from doing work that didn’t solve the problem, but Checkbook also receives many complaints about companies’ failing to show up for appointments, sloppiness, alarmist termite inspections that lead to unnecessary work, inept inspections that fail to detect infestations and salespeople who push expensive, unnecessary annual contracts. You’ll also want to compare costs. Checkbook’s mystery shoppers found large price differences. For example, to treat a house for cockroaches, some companies would charge less than $165 with a 90-day period of free follow-up while other companies would charge more than $270 with no free follow-up. No matter what type of pest problem you have, don’t assume you have to pay more to get good critter control; Checkbook found no relationship between price and quality."

"text": "Termite cost: The real story about termite damage in Australia.by Ion Staunton$1,500,000,000.00 (one and a half billion dollars – estimated)The Australian Institute of Architects reported on their Archicentre website in about 2006 that 130,000 Australian homes were attacked in a year. The average termite cost for the professional pest manager to treat the pest was about $2500 and the average cost of repairs was $4500, total average $7,000. Multiplied by 130,000 homes is close to $1bn… a year!That was about 6 years ago and the cost of both professional pest control, tradesmen and building materials has pushed the figure up to around $1.5bn a year — because the termite attack rate is not slackening. An anecdotal example (true) is a person who spent over $70,000 on his suburban home due to termite attack. There was the cost of the professional treatment which also included re applying chemical barriers as well as monitors plus the removal and rebuilding of the kitchen and adjoining rooms. Then, because it seemed the smart thing to do, they improved the kitchen and bought new appliances. He had to refinance the house to pay for all this so you can add the extra interest added over the next 10-20 years to get a true figure approaching $100,000. Another friend found termites in a window frame and adjoining door frame. He paid $275.00 for bait and fed it to the termites to kill the colony. When the baiting was completed and the colony dead, he bought some new timber framing, replaced the damage and a can of paint, about $100."

"text": "Pest control is the process of managing, and often exterminating, insects, rodents and other common vermin from your home or place of business. You can hire an exterminator to kill or keep pests such as cockroaches, termites and rats at bay. Many companies either have technicians on staff or hire commercial pest control operators to keep their facilities clean and compliant with health codes and other regulations. While your house doesn't need to meet the same stringent codes a restaurant might, you likely want to keep your home safe from bugs and mice. Besides being general pests, termites, carpenter ants and other vermin can destroy the structural integrity of your home, making it unsafe for anyone to live in. What to Ask a Pest Control Company It's important to ask the right questions before hiring a pest control company. You need to know whether the exterminators do quality work and if they know the proper ways to kill pests without exposing you and your family to potentially harmful chemicals. Here's a list of questions you must ask any extermination company to ensure you hire the best people for the job: Are You Licensed? Pest control experts must be licensed in your state to do their work since they handle powerful pesticides and insecticides. Make sure the company you go with is registered with your state."

Termites have been one of the most prominent pests that invade homes and can be very hard to terminate. If left untouched, termites can bring down the value of your home and can literally bring down your house. Over the years, there have been ways developed to effectively kill termites, and fumigation is one of the most effective ways to kill them; however, due to the poisonous gasses, a house that needs to be fumigated should be tented to protect the surroundings. According to most experts, however, this process only works best for those who have drywood termites. The cost to tent a house depends on the size of the house, the extent of the damage, the company you choose, the complexity of the situation and geographical location.“"

Multimedia Messaging Service ( MMS) is a standard way to send messages that include multimedia content to and from a mobile phone over a cellular network. Users and providers may refer to such a message as a PXT, a picture message, or a multimedia message. [ 1] The MMS standard extends the core SMS ( Short Message Service) capability, allowing the exchange of text messages greater than 160 characters in length. Unlike text-only SMS, MMS can deliver a variety of media, including up to forty seconds of video, one image, a slideshow [2] of multiple images, or audio. The most common use involves sending photographs from camera-equipped handsets. [ citation needed] Media companies have utilized MMS on a commercial basis as a method of delivering news and entertainment content, and retailers have deployed it as a tool for delivering scannable coupon codes, product images, videos, and other information. The 3GPP and WAP groups fostered the development of the MMS standard, which is now continued by the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA).

"text": "\"Don't Freak Out About the Facebook Messenger App Share Share What's This? By Christina Warren Aug 11, 2014You might hate being forced to use Facebook Messenger — but that doesn't mean the app is invading your privacy or part of some vast conspiracy to track all of your actions. In the days since Facebook started requiring i Phone and Android users to download the stand-alone Facebook Messenger app to continue chatting with friends and family members, the backlash has been swift. As Facebook is well aware, its users do not like change (see News Feed, Beacon ads, Timeline, Open Graph, the Instagram terms of service changes, and every design change in the company's 10-year history). So it's not surprising to see Facebook Messenger as the number one app in the App Store (because everyone is being prompted to download it), or that it has a 1-star rating (because everyone is being prompted to download it). See also: 20 Things Your Most Annoying Friends Do on Facebook This time, the backlash has turned into a melee over user permissions and privacy fears, thanks to incorrect reports from technical neophytes. As a result, users already upset about having to download a new app are unnecessarily freaking out over the user permissions associated with the Facebook Messenger app — primarily because the app wants permission to access your camera and microphone. As much as that makes it sound like an NSA spying tool, the Messenger app does not do anything or ask for anything different than the regular Facebook app. It's also not any different from any other messaging app out there. Here's why, and what much of your Facebook feed is getting wrong: Setting the record straight on Facebook Messenger permissions Thanks largely to an old article in the Huffington Post and a new article from a radio station in Houston, Facebook users who are already upset about Facebook Messenger are being led to believe that the new Messenger app allows Facebook to spy on users, record all of their movements and do other insidious, nasty, things."

"text": "Apps14 Best SMS Text Messaging Apps for Android 2017Despite the presence of online messaging apps like Whats App and Snapchat, you can’t really do without sending SMS or text messages and they remain one of the most used features on Android phones even in 2017. Unfortunately, most stock texting apps are found lacking in features and aren’t always as visually appealing as you’d like them to be. This is where the beauty of Android shines because like everything else, you can also replace your phone’s stock messaging app with third-party texting apps which come with new features, fresh visuals and can be seamlessly integrated with your SMS service. Given all this, we’ve decided to update our list of the best Android SMS or Texting Apps that you can download for free to replace your stock messaging app and 2017 has seen a lot of new SMS apps for Android, taking our total collection to 16 of the Best Texting Apps you can download today.#1. Textra SMSEven now Textra remains number 1. When it comes to SMS replacement apps you can’t really beat features offered by Textra (by the developers behind Chomp SMS). Not only is the app visually beautiful (it follows Material Design guidelines from Android Lollipop 5.0), it is fast, smooth and doesn’t have any bloatware. The app’s size is also quite small at just over 3 MBs which means even low-end phones can install it without any issues. You also get a lot of themes, the option to use dark mode, get floating SMS notifications, schedule messages to go out at certain times and set up delayed sending which can prevent messages from being sent out by mistake. If all this wasn’t enough, Textra also throws in message blocking, quick reply option and the ability to take photos and send them via MMS to your whole group of friends if you want."

When you send an image via e-mail, the i Phone will ask you what size you want to send (how much compression you want to do to the image). Choosing SMALL may allow it to go through. Here are a list of some SMS/MMS gateways that allow you to send a SMS/MMS via e-mail address: List of SMS Gateways You could also try using the free Adobe Photoshop Express app in the i Tunes App Store to crop the image and save as a new image then try sending the smaller sized (both in dimensions and in bytes) image."

Is this a problem with my phone company, you think, or can I have changed some setting somehow. Is there a setting that can be set, anyhow ?

Pressing the Start will 'play' the picture as move of about 5 seconds - since it is a picture, of course the image does not change.

This tip is stellar in that it is part stupid frugal trick (save money on texting from your cell phone by emailing for free), part productivity (you can probably type faster from a normal QWERTY keyboard than a phone), and part tech geek. You get the three-fer on this one! Here’s how to do it. SMS Vs. MMSSMS, or Short Message Service is also commonly referred to as a “text message”. With a SMS, you can send a message of up to 160 characters to another device. Longer messages will automatically be split up into multiple texts. Most cell phones support this type of text messaging. MMS, or Multimedia Messaging Service can be used to send longer messages and/or pictures, video, or audio content."

For the defunct British video games company, see Confounding Factor (games company). Illustration of a simple confoundfactor. In other words, Z is the cause of X and Y. In statistics, a confounder (also confounding variable, confounding factor or lurking variable) is a variable that influences both the dependent variable and independent variable causing a spurious association.

Let X be some independent variable, Y some dependent variable. To estimate the effect of X on Y, the statistician must suppress the effects of extraneous variables that influence both X and Y. We say that, X and Y are confounded by some other variable Z whenever Z is a cause of both X and Y. Let be the probability of event Y = y under the hypothetical intervention X = x. X and Y are not confounded if and only if the following holds: ( 1)for all values X = x and Y = y, where is the conditional probability upon seeing X = x. Intuitively, this equality states that X and Y are not confounded whenever the observationally witnessed association between them is the same as the association that would be measured in a controlled experiment, with x randomized. In principle, the defining equality P ( y | do ( x )) = P ( y | x) can be verified from the data generating model assuming we have all the equations and probabilities associated with the model. This is done by simulating an intervention do ( X = x) (see Bayesian network) and checking whether the resulting probability of Y equals the conditional probability P ( y | x )."

"text": "\"E-LOGOS/2000ISSN 1121-0442_____________________________________________A Critique of the \"\"Standard Conception\"\" of Scientific Theories and Scientific Explanation Tomáš Kunca\"\"This construal ... does not claim simply to be descriptive of the explanation actually offered in empirical science; for - to mention but one reason - there is no sufficiently clear generally accepted understanding as to what counts as a scientific explanation. The construal here set forth is, rather, in the nature of an explication, which is intended to replace a familiar but vague and ambigous notion by a more precisely characterized and systematically fruitful and illuminating one. Actually, our expliacatory analysis has not even led to a full definition of a precise \"\"explicatum\"\" - concept of scientific explanation; it purports only to make explicit some especially important aspects of such a concept. \"\"C. G. Hempel Scientific explanation has been under discussion for more than three decades in both general and special methodologies of science, in particular in the methodologies of natural and social sciences. The original formulation of the problem as expounded by C. G. Hempel has become a richly exploited target of criticism as well as a springboard for revealing still new aspects of this procedure. Should the contemporary standpoint be a) to improve upon Hempel´s covering-law models ( as results of his explicatory analysis of the concept of scientific explanation in empirical science) or b) look for new formal models of scientific explanation, then, in Professor Achinstein´s words we would be playing \"\"a new variation on the old theme\"\" and as he puts it \"\"each that variation is simply an invitation to philosophical sharpshooters to hit the mark with fresh counterexamples. \"\" 1)All this, however, does not seem to me to invalidate the necessity to establish or reject the meaningfulness of scientific explanation as a research problem in its own right within the general methodology of science. This involves stating the conditions under which the formulation of the problem is meaningful, choosing the ways of resolving the problem and envisaging the nature of the resulting theory. We would have to take into account its relevance to the special sciences, assess the insight it can yield into creation and objectification of contemporary science as well as its validity from the descriptive and standardising angles. In view of the fact that methodological theories based on different philosophical (epistemological) assumptions from those under scrutiny formulate their own versions of scientific explanation analysis, an effort to find a more generally acceptable version of the theory of explanation seems worthwhile."

You’d consult first with the owner, and start with an idea of the house she wanted – its size, its shape, its features. You’d want a picture of the finished house, and a floor plan as well, with some notes on measurements and materials. You’d plan the construction with her, and set out a process for getting it done. And you’d do all this before you ever picked up a tool, because otherwise the process would be hit-or-miss: she wouldn’t get the house she wanted, and your time would be wasted.

"text": "Decision-Making Capacity First published Tue Jan 15, 2008; substantive revision Mon Jun 20, 2011In many Western jurisdictions, the law presumes that adult persons, and sometimes children that meet certain criteria, are capable of making their own health care decisions; for example, consenting to a particular medical treatment, or consenting to participate in a research trial. But what exactly does it mean to say that a subject has or lacks the requisite capacity to decide? This last question has to do with what is commonly called “decisional capacity,” a central concept in health care law and ethics, and increasingly an independent topic of philosophical inquiry. Decisional capacity can be defined as the ability of health care subjects to make their own health care decisions. Questions of ‘capacity’ sometimes extend to other contexts, such as capacity to stand trial in a court of law, and the ability to make decisions that relate to personal care and finances. However, for the purposes of this discussion, the notion of decisional capacity will be limited to health care contexts only; most notably, those where decisions to consent to or refuse treatment are concerned. The combined theoretical and practical nature of decisional capacity in the area of consent is probably one of the things that makes it so intellectually compelling to philosophers who write about it. But this is still largely uncultivated philosophical territory. One reason is the highly interdisciplinary and rapidly changing nature of the field. Clinical methods and tests to assess capacity are proliferating."

That report can be read online for free and additional hard copies are available for sale at http://www.nap.edu/catalog/10236.html. Context The study was sponsored by the U. S. National Educational Research Policy and Priorities Board of OERI amid the very interesting context that brings us all here today: the simultaneous enthusiasm for bringing the power of rigorous, objective, scientific understanding to bear on improving decisions about educational programming and thus student achievement, and the controversy and lack of consensus about what it actually means for something to be based on \"\"scientific research\"\" in education. As most of you know, on the one hand, before No Child Left Behind there was the Comprehensive School Reform Demonstration Act and the Reading Excellence Act—two federal education programs driven by the desire to ground program decisions in the best available evidence of their effectiveness. NCLB extends that reach with its myriad references to \"\"scientifically based research\"\" across the full range of programs the act covers. At the same time, you are probably aware that not only does there not seem to be any working consensus on what exactly is meant by scientific research in education, but that there is also deep skepticism about the quality of existing work available for decision makers in complying with this requirement. Some of you may be aware that in the summer of 2000, Representative Castle (R-DE) introduced a bill to reauthorize OERI that included definitions of \"\"scientifically valid quantitative methods\"\" and \"\"scientifically valid qualitative methods\"\". While elected officials have long engaged in the federal research effort in establishing priorities, rarely if ever have they instructed researchers on the tools of their trade and codified it in federal statute. This report was intended to engage a group of prominent researchers to articulate the nature of their work. It is important to make a few introductory notes about what the committee--and thus the report--did and did not do."

Consider the following situation: when two hunters set out to hunt a stag and lose track of each other in the process, each hunter has to make a decision. Either she continues according to plan, hoping that her partner does likewise (because she cannot bag a deer on her own), and together they catch the deer; or she goes for a hare instead, securing a prey that does not require her partner’s cooperation, and thus abandoning the common plan. Each hunter prefers a deer shared between them to a hare for herself alone. But if she decides to hunt for deer, she faces the possibility that her partner abandons her, leaving her without deer or hare. So, what should she do? And, what will she do? Situations like this, in which the outcome of an agent’s action depends on the actions of all the other agents involved, are called interactive. Two people playing chess is the archetypical example of an interactive situation, but so are elections, wage bargaining, market transactions, the arms race, international negotiations, and many more.

"text": "Dynamic Semantics First published Mon Aug 23, 2010; substantive revision Tue Jul 12, 2016Dynamic semantics is a perspective on natural language semantics that emphasizes the growth of information in time. It is an approach to meaning representation where pieces of text or discourse are viewed as instructions to update an existing context with new information, the result of which is an updated context. In a slogan: meaning is context change potential. It is important to be aware of the abstractness of this perspective so as to guard against various non sequiturs. For one thing, one could easily think that dynamic semantics or update semantics is committed at least in part to an internalist idea of semantics since the information states are “internal”—in the sense that they are wholly contained in the individual mind/brain. In other words, one might think that the information states of dynamic semantics are what Putnam (1975) calls “states in the sense of methodological solipsism”. See the entries on scientific realism , computational theory of mind , externalism about mental content , and narrow mental content . However, the general framework says nothing about what the states are. The state could very well include the environment in which the interpreter is embedded and thus contain an “external” component. A second possible misunderstanding is that dynamic semantics or update semantics is in complete opposition to classical truth conditional semantics (compare the entries on classical logic and first-order model theory )."

"text": "I was recently at a lecture where an audience member asked the speaker, psychologist Dr. Richard Schwartz, about his stance on the role of therapist self-disclosure. Dr. Schwartz paused for a moment before responding that he often urges supervisees to bring to mind the acronym WAIT before engaging in self-disclosure in a session (personal communication, September 18, 2014). Short for “Why Am I Telling?” he explained that this self-directed question is aimed at getting clinicians to consider whether they would be self-disclosing expressly for the client’s benefit, or if they would be doing so to fulfill a personal need. In the event that the therapist is inclined to self-disclose to gratify her own need, she is advised to abstain from self-disclosing in order to prioritize the client’s needs within the therapeutic relationship. The question of what constitutes ethical and useful self-disclosure is one that comes up regularly during my training as a psychologist. Though I found the “WAIT” rule-of-thumb helpful in generally guiding my decision making, I was left wondering about how, as psychotherapists, we can assess whether or not our clients are likely to benefit from our self-disclosure in a given situation. Are there certain types of disclosure that, as a rule, are more useful than others? What are the client variables worthy of consideration? As psychotherapists, what do we need to know about in-session self-disclosure to make decisions that uphold the general ethical principles, particularly beneficence and nonmaleficence (APA, 2010)?"

The following notes are a short summary of my view of what sociological theory is or ought to be. What is Sociological Theory? There are many theoretical approaches: The classical theories of Marx, Weber, Durkheim, Simmel, Parsons, and Mead and their followers. There are also various schools of sociological thought that are not so much associated with one individual, but represent contributions from a variety of sociologists - for example, symbolic interaction approaches, ethnomethodology, structuralism, and critical theory. Recent approaches have often combined aspects of these different classical writers or sociological approaches. Much theoretical writing in the 1960s through 1980s appears to use various mixtures of these. More recently, sociological thought has felt the influence of a variety of new approaches - feminism, postmodernism, cultural studies, new ethnic and multicultural approaches, along with new subject areas such as technology, science, sexuality, and the media. Each of these approaches provides a way of looking at the social world, but as a theoretical approach may constitute more than this. Sociological theory - or social theory - is usually thought of as a systematic set of ideas and statements about the social world that aim to make sense of the social world."

"text": "Scientific Progress First published Tue Oct 1, 2002; substantive revision Mon Jun 15, 2015Science is often distinguished from other domains of human culture by its progressive nature: in contrast to art, religion, philosophy, morality, and politics, there exist clear standards or normative criteria for identifying improvements and advances in science. For example, the historian of science George Sarton argued that “the acquisition and systematization of positive knowledge are the only human activities which are truly cumulative and progressive,” and “progress has no definite and unquestionable meaning in other fields than the field of science” (Sarton 1936). However, the traditional cumulative view of scientific knowledge was effectively challenged by many philosophers of science in the 1960s and the 1970s, and thereby the notion of progress was also questioned in the field of science. Debates on the normative concept of progress are at the same time concerned with axiological questions about the aims and goals of science. The task of philosophical analysis is to consider alternative answers to the question: What is meant by progress in science? This conceptual question can then be complemented by the methodological question: How can we recognize progressive developments in science? Relative to a definition of progress and an account of its best indicators, one may then study the factual question: To what extent, and in which respects, is science progressive?1.

Discover why children may need play therapy now more than ever. Social workers and other therapists have long used forms of play to communicate with younger clients, but to actually be trained in play therapy means following a prescribed model to help meet the needs of those clients. It’s a field that many social workers may be considering. Still, in a culture where play is becoming less valued—for myriad reasons that are not limited to busy parents and the advent of high-tech video games—can a field focusing on therapy through play survive? The experts say the answer is not only “yes,” but that these reasons are why play therapy may be so successful—and so important today. And as more social workers and other professionals begin to take note of its importance, the field of play therapy is poised to grow. There’s a lot more to playtime than fun and games."

Following Lipsky, discretion has received wide attention in the policy implementation literature. However, scholars have not developed theoretical frameworks regarding the effects of discretion, which were then tested these using large samples. This study therefore develops a theoretical framework regarding two main effects of discretion: client meaningfulness and willingness to implement. The relationships are tested using a survey among 1,300 healthcare professionals implementing a new policy. The results underscore the importance of discretion."

This study includes law as a theoretical enterprise as well its practical and concrete effects in women's lives. Further, it includes law as an academic discipline, and thus incorporates concerns regarding pedagogy and the influence of teachers. On all these levels, feminist scholars, lawyers, and activists raise questions about the meaning and the impact of law on women's lives. Feminist jurisprudence seeks to analyze and redress more traditional legal theory and practice. It focuses on the ways in which law has been structured (sometimes unwittingly) that deny the experiences and needs of women. Feminist jurisprudence claims that patriarchy (the system of interconnected relations and institutions that oppress women) infuses the legal system and all its workings, and that this is an unacceptable state of affairs. Consequently, feminist jurisprudence is not politically neutral, but a normative approach, as expressed by philosopher Patricia Smith: \"\" [F]eminist jurisprudence challenges basic legal categories and concepts rather than analyzing them as given. Feminist jurisprudence asks what is implied in traditional categories, distinctions, or concepts and rejects them if they imply the subordination of women. In this sense, feminist jurisprudence is normative and claims that traditional jurisprudence and law are implicitly normative as well\"\" (Smith 1993, p. 10)."

Specifically, FAP suggests that in-session contingent responding to client target behaviors leads to significant therapeutic improvements. FAP was first conceptualized in the 1980s by psychologists Robert Kohlenberg and Mavis Tsai who, after noticing a clinically significant association between client outcomes and the quality of the therapeutic relationship, set out to develop a theoretical model of behavioral psychotherapy based on these concepts. Behavioral principles (e.g., reinforcement, generalization) form the basis of FAP. [ 1] [2] (See § The five rules below. ) FAP is an idiographic (as opposed to nomothetic) approach to psychotherapy. This means that FAP therapists focus on the function of a client's behavior instead of the form. The aim is to change a broad class of behaviors that might look different on the surface but all serve the same function. It is idiographic in that the client and therapist work together to form a unique clinical formulation of the client's therapeutic goals, rather than one therapeutic target for every client who enters therapy.

The word is a portmanteau of thermal and resistor. Thermistors are widely used as inrush current limiters, temperature sensors (negative temperature coefficient or NTC type typically), self-resetting overcurrent protectors, and self-regulating heating elements (positive temperature coefficient or PTC type typically). Thermistors are of two opposite fundamental types: With NTC thermistors, resistance decreases as temperature rises. An NTC is commonly used as a temperature sensor, or in series with a circuit as an inrush current limiter. With PTC thermistors, resistance increases as temperature rises. PTC thermistors are commonly installed in series with a circuit, and used to protect against overcurrent conditions, as resettable fuses. Thermistors differ from resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) in that the material used in a thermistor is generally a ceramic or polymer, while RTDs use pure metals. The thermistors are in the form of beads, rods and discs but RTDs are in different shapes and sizes. The temperature response is also different; RTDs are useful over larger temperature ranges, while thermistors typically achieve a greater precision within a limited temperature range, typically −90 °C to 130 °C.

This is because the thermistor is exposed to re-radiated heat from the road surface. If you're looking for an accurate reading of the temperature outside, pay no attention to your car's thermometer. On a warm summer day, it usually displays a temperature significantly higher than the actual temperature, and there are several reasons why. For starters, your car does not actually have a built-in thermometer. Sure, the number \"\"97\"\" is right there on your dashboard, but that reading comes from a thermistor – not a thermometer.

Using a food thermometer is the only reliable way to ensure safety and to determine desired \"\"doneness\"\" of meat, poultry, and egg products. To be safe, these foods must be cooked to a safe minimum internal temperature to destroy any harmful microorganisms that may be in the food. \"\" Doneness\"\" refers to when a food is cooked to a desired state and indicates the sensory aspects of foods such as texture, appearance, and juiciness. Unlike the temperatures required for safety, these sensory aspects are subjective. [ Top of Page]Color is Not a Reliable Indicator Many food handlers believe that visible indicators, such as color changes, can be used to determine if foods are cooked to a point where pathogens are killed. However, recent research has shown that color and texture indicators are unreliable. For example, ground beef may turn brown before it reaches a temperature where pathogens are destroyed."

"text": "Refrigerator Defrost Problem Diagnostics If your refrigerator has a defrost problem this page will help. Refrigerators have what are called evaporator coils and these coils are located inside the freezer. When the compressor runs, the evaporator coils become very cold (way below freezing). Also when the compressor is running there will be a fan that pulls air through the evaporator coils to cool down the freezer and the fresh food section. When this happens the moisture in the air will freeze and stick to the evaporator coils. Every so often, the refrigerator has to go through a defrost cycle to melt this ice that continues to build up on the coils from the moisture in the air. If the refrigerator has a defrost problem and will not melt the ice, it eventually builds up to the point that it blocks airflow. To begin with, it will seem like the freezer is ok but the fresh food section will start to fail. If the problem is not resolved the freezer will start to thaw as well. It can take up to a month to get to this point."

This resistance can be measured by using a small and measured direct current, or dc, passed through the thermistor in order to measure the voltage drop produced. These solid state temperature sensors actually act like electrical resistors that are temperature sensitive. That is where the name, a clear combination of the words thermal and resistor, comes from. Ametherm specializes in NTC, or negative temperature coefficient, thermistors. Thermistors are an incredibly accurate category of temperature sensors In general, thermistors are composed of sintered ceramics consisting of highly sensitive material with consistently reproducible properties of resistance versus temperature.

PTC thermistors are resistors with a positive temperature coefficient, which means that the resistance increases with increasing temperature. PTC thermistors are divided into two groups, based on the materials used, their structure and the manufacturing process. The first group of PTC thermistors is comprised of silistors, which use silicon as the semiconductive material. They are used as PTC temperature sensors for their linear characteristic. The second group is the switching type PTC thermistor. This type of PTC thermistors is widely used in PTC heaters, sensors etc. Polymer PTC thermistors, made of a special plastic, are also in this second group, often used as resettable fuses.

Continue Reading Keep Learning What Is Wien's Displacement Law? What Is the Relationship Between Temperature and Viscosity of Liquids and Gases? How Does Temperature Affect Viscosity? Credit: yellowcloud CC-BY 2.0Full Answer As temperature increases, the molecules in liquids and gases move more quickly, which makes them collide with one another more often. This causes the molecules to spread apart, which means that there are fewer molecules are in a given volume and the substance's density decreases. As temperature decreases, the molecules move more slowly, so they collide less and take up less space and the substance's density increases. Water has a density of 1,000 kilograms per cubic meter at 4 degrees Celsius and a density of 958.4 kilograms per cubic meter at 100 degrees Celsius."

Goals1 To perform simple calorimetry experiments.2 To use calorimetry results to calculate the specific heat of an unknown metal.3 To determine heat of reaction ( Δ H) from calorimetry measurements. Introduction Heat and work are the two most common ways for a system to exchange energy with its surroundings. The work term in reactions that do not involve gases is zero, so all of the energy change results in heat. The amount of heat that flows into or out of the surroundings is determined with a technique called calorimetry (heat measurement). A calorimeter is composed of an insulated container, a thermometer, a mass of water, and the system to be studied. The use of an insulated container (Styrofoam cup in this experiment) allows us to assume that there is no heat transferred through the calorimeter walls. In other words, we can assume that the thermodynamic universe is composed of the system and the surrounding water. In the experiment, we will test this assumption. All of the heat absorbed or given off by a system (q sys) is exchanged with its surroundings (q sur ), which is expressed mathematically in equation 1. ("

The brightness temperature (or T B ) is the fundamental parameter measured by passive microwave radiometers. The brightness temperatures, measured at different microwave frequencies, are used at Remote Sensing Systems to derive wind, vapor, cloud, rain, and SST products. Despite differences in sensor frequencies, channel resolutions, instrument operation and other radiometer characteristics, RSS produces high-quality, carefully intercalibrated data,using uniform processing techniques, with a brightness temperature data record spanning multiple instruments over several decades. At the bottom of this page, we include information on access to our brightness temperature data and links to more detailed information. What is Brightness Temperature? Satellite passive microwave radiometers measure raw antenna counts from which we determine the antenna temperature and then calculate the brightness temperature of the Earth. Large antennas are used for the various channels of the radiometer, and during operation, each antenna feedhorn passes a hot and cold target in order to provide consistently calibrated raw counts. Brightness temperature (also referred to as TB) is a measure of the radiance of microwave radiation traveling upward from the top of Earth's atmosphere. The conversion from radiometer counts to top-of-the-atmosphere TB is called the calibration process."

"text": "\"Science, Tech, Math ›Science How does a Thermometer Measure Air Temperature? Share Flipboard Email Printpagadesign/E+/Getty Imagesby Tiffany Means Updated March 18, 2017How warm is it outside? How cold will it be tonight? A thermometer -- an instrument used to measure air temperature -- easily tells us this, but how it tells us is another question entirely. To understand how a thermometer works, we need to keep one thing in mind from physics: that a liquid expands in volume (the amount of space it takes up) when its temperature warms, and decreases in volume when its temperature cools. When a thermometer is exposed to the atmosphere, the surrounding air's temperature will permeate it, eventually balancing the thermometer's temperature with its own -- a process whose fancy scientific name is \"\"thermodynamic equilibrium.\"\" If the thermometer and it's inside liquid must warm to reach this equilibrium, the liquid (which will take up more space when warmed) will rise because it is trapped inside of a narrow tube and has nowhere to go but up. Likewise, if the thermometer's liquid must cool to reach the air's temperature, the liquid will shrink in volume and lower down the tube. Once the thermometer's temperature balances that of the surrounding air, its liquid will stop moving. The physical rise and fall of the liquid inside of a thermometer is only part of what makes it work."

The extremely fine tube (narrow bore) of a thermometer is called a capillary. The boiling point of water (or condensing point of steam) is 100 o C or 212 o F or 373 K. The freezing point of water (or melting point of ice) is 0 o C or 32 o F or 273 K. These temperatures are typically used in the calibration of thermometers and are known as the fixed points. The temperature range that is typically marked on a laboratory thermometer is −10 o C to 110 o C. Thermometric liquids are those that are used in thermometers. Some examples of such liquids are mercury and alcohol. The thermometric fluid used by Galileo Galilei in his thermometer was air. Alcohol, which is used as a thermometric liquid, has the following characteristic properties : 1. Alcohol has a very low freezing point of about −112 o C and hence is suitable in thermometers to record very low temperatures. 2."

"text": "\"Home »Chemistry Measuring Wet Bulb Temperature By John Brennan; Updated April 25, 2017You already know intuitively what humidity means: it's the amount of moisture in the air. But measuring humidity turns out to be a little more difficult than defining it. One way to measure humidity is with the aid of a wet bulb thermometer and a dry bulb thermometer. The temperatures measured by each are called wet and dry bulb temperature, respectively, and by comparing them you can determine the humidity. Evaporation When water evaporates it absorbs heat from its surroundings. That's why your body sweats to chill you down; the water evaporating from your skin sucks up heat and helps you cool off. The more humid the air, however, the slower water will tend to evaporate. That's one reason why humid heat can be so uncomfortable -- your body sweats to cool down, but the sweat doesn't evaporate as quickly as it usually would. Wet Bulb Temperature A thermometer left naked and exposed to the air will measure the ambient temperature. If you wrap the bulb of the thermometer in wet cloth, by contrast, the evaporating water from the wet cloth will cool the thermometer down, and its temperature will be cooler than it would be otherwise."

The process of calibrating a thermometer was explained and the variety of commonly used temperature scales were described. Finally, the concept of an absolute lowest temperature was discussed. But in the end, the fundamental definition of temperature was not given. Temperature was only defined in practical terms - the reading on a thermometer. Now we have to answer the more fundamental question: what is the reading on a thermometer the reflection of? What is temperature a measure of? Temperature as a Measure of Kinetic Energy It is at this point that we can use a more sophisticated definition of temperature. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles within a sample of matter."

He invented the mercury thermometer (first practical, accurate thermometer) and Fahrenheit scale (first standardized temperature scale to be widely used). A medical/clinical thermometer showing the temperature of 38.7 °CTemperature measurement, also known as thermometry, describes the process of measuring a current local temperature for immediate or later evaluation. Datasets consisting of repeated standardized measurements can be used to assess temperature trends.

Temperature measurement of wet fish Temperature measurement of fish during freezing Temperature measurement of frozen fish Practical points in measuring fish temperature Measurement of cold store temperature Temperature measurement of air in blast freezers Temperature measurement in smoking kilns Instrument selection Calibration of thermometers APPENDIXWhy do we need to measure temperature? Temperature is the most important factor controlling the rate at which fish go bad. For example, cod will remain edible for up to 15 days at 0°C, the temperature of melting ice, whereas it may be unfit to eat after only six days at 5°C. White fish frozen quickly and then stored at a controlled temperature of - 30°C will keep in good condition for nine months or more; the same fish kept at a temperature of - 10°C will not remain in good condition for much longer than a month. Freezing times for fish products are best determined by observing the change in temperature of the warmest part of the fish throughout freezing; miscalculation of freezing time can result in either inadequate cooling of the product or reduction in output of the freezer. Knowledge of the temperature of the smoke in a mechanical kiln helps the operator to produce smoked fish of consistently good quality and to make full use of the capacity of the kiln. Many other examples could be quoted that would demonstrate the importance of measuring temperatures in and around fish, from the time when the fish are first harvested until they reach the fishmonger's slab or frozen food cabinet. Constant vigilance to maintain suitable temperatures throughout handling, storage and processing is essential if quality is to be safeguarded and plant used efficiently."

Categories: All Articles, Areas of Knowledge, Science, Sense Perception, Ways of Knowing Every measurement changes the object that we want to measure. This is called the Observer Effect. When we stick a thermometer into a glass of water to measure its temperature, then the thermometer will change the temperature of the water as well. Similar effects can be observed when measuring voltage or current in electrical circuits. Also in the social sciences we have a similar problem: people will not behave naturally when they feel that they are observed. I n this edition of TOK-TALK we will explore if it is in principle possible to measure anything accurately. How does a measurement change the value of that what you want to measure?

BBT refers to your body temperature when you wake up, before you perform any activity. In addition to changes in the levels of luteinizing hormone and consistency of cervical mucus, women experience a change in their temperature during every menstrual cycle, which have been used to indicate ovarian function. In general, women experience a 0.2–0.5°C increase in BBT shortly after ovulation and this persists until the next period. As a result, a woman with ovulatory cycles experiences a biphasic shift in BBT during her cycle—a temperature shift that can be used to confirm ovulation. Top 5 Basal Body Thermometers Basal thermometers are designed to detect the small changes in temperature that occur during a woman’s cycle."

"text": "\"Temperature - How it works Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Heat Energy appears in many forms, including thermal energy, or the energy associated with heat. Heat is internal thermal energy that flows from one body of matter to another—or, more specifically, from a system at a higher temperature to one at a lower temperature. Two systems at the same temperature are said to be in a state of thermal equilibrium. When this occurs, there is no exchange of heat. Though people ordinarily speak of \"\"heat\"\" as an expression of relative warmth or coldness, in physical terms, heat only exists in transfer between two systems. It is never something inherently part of a system; thus, unless there is a transfer of internal energy, there is no heat, scientifically speaking. HEAT: ENERGY IN TRANSIT. Thus, heat cannot be said to exist unless there is one system in contact with another system of differing temperature. This can be illustrated by way of the old philosophical question: \"\"If a tree falls in the woods when there is no one to hear it, does it make a sound?\"\" From a physicist's point of view, of course, sound waves are emitted whether or not there is an ear to receive their vibrations; but, consider this same scenario in terms of heat."

"text": "\"How To Measure Body Temperature? By Arun Pal Singh Please follow and like us: Normal body temperature changes in response to many a conditions. Measuring body temperature is necessary to find and document abnormal temperature. There are many methods to measure the body temperature. What most people think of a “normal” body temperature as an oral temperature of 98.6s is an average of normal body temperatures. Your temperature may actually be 1°F (0.6°C) or more above or below 98.6F. Your normal body temperature changes by as much as 1°F (0.6°C) throughout the day, depending on how active you are and the time of day. Body temperature is very sensitive to hormone levels and may be higher or lower when a woman is ovulating or having her menstrual period. A rectal or ear (tympanic membrane) temperature reading is 0.5 to 1°F (0.3 to 0.6°C) higher than an oral temperature reading. A temperature taken in the armpit is 0.5 to 1°F (0.3 to 0.6°C) lower than an oral temperature reading. Oral Method This is the most common method of taking the body temperature."

Measuring is one of those things we don't think about until we're slightly stymied, or until we open a British cookbook, or perhaps one from Europe, or maybe our grandmother's. There are of course a number of systems for measuring, some pretty out of date, some unique to the United States, and one that's pretty universal. Measuring has always been somewhat of an interpretive business. But measuring goes beyond the devices you use to determine how much of what goes into a recipe. Thermometers, both in your drawer and in your oven, are measuring devices. So is your timer, and the thermostat in your kitchen. So is a barometer, hygrometer and altimeter."

"text": "\"Bulb Thermometers Prev NEXT The bulb thermometer is the common glass thermometer you probably grew up with. The thermometer contains some type of fluid, generally mercury. Bulb thermometers rely on the simple principle that a liquid changes its volume relative to its temperature. Liquids take up less space when they are cold and more space when they are warm (this same principal works for gases and is the basis of the hot air balloon -- for more information, see How Hot Air Balloons Work ). You probably work with liquids every day, but may not notice that things like water, milk and cooking oil all take up more or less space as their temperatures change. In these cases, the change in volume is fairly small. All bulb thermometers use a fairly large bulb and a narrow tube to accentuate the change in volume. You can see this for yourself by making your own bulb thermometer from scratch. Here is what you'll need: A glass jar or bottle with a water-tight lid - The lid should be the screw-on kind and made from metal or plastic. I used a 48-ounce apple juice jar."

"text": "\"Thoracic Strain A Few Facts About Thoracic Strain Thoracic strain involves the muscles of the mid and upper back. To understand what constitutes a thoracic strain it may be helpful to explain a few things about the part of the body under discussion. The spinal column consists of three parts, the cervical spine, made up of the vertebrae in the neck, the thoracic spine, consisting of the vertebrae from the shoulders to the waist, and the lumbar spine, which consists of the vertebrae from the waist down to the tail bone. The region of the lumbar spine is commonly referred to as the lower back, and the region of the thoracic spine is called the upper back. A thoracic strain therefore is one affects the muscles of the upper back. One can also suffer a thoracic sprain, which is a different situation, although in mild cases it can sometimes be difficult to distinguish between the two. Whereas a strain involves irritation of injury to a muscle, a sprain affects ligaments or joints, and is often the more serious of the two disorders. A Thoracic Strain Is Not Common - Short of suffering trauma as the result of a serious accident, damage to the thoracic muscles are not particularly common. A thoracic strain, when it does occur is most often mild, which is not to say that it does not cause any discomfort. A low level injury to the back can be very uncomfortable, even quite painful, even tough the nature of the injury may not be particularly serious."

This is because some types of chest pain mimic the same symptoms of a heart attack or other heart condition. However, there are some types of musculoskeletal chest pain that aren’t related to a heart condition at all. In this article we’ll talk about the causes of this pain as well as some chest wall pain treatments that could work for you. Symptoms of chest pain and discomfort are among the most common reasons provided for medical visits around the world. Further, it has been estimated that around 7.16 million visits are made annually to the emergency department due to chest pain. Between 1% and 3% of all visits to a primary care provider are actually attributed to this problem. The symptoms of chest wall pain can be achy, sharp, or even pressure-like. In many cases, patients will report that their pain worsens upon: Moving their upper body Taking deep breaths Engaging in physical exertion The most common form of this type of pain is costochondral pain, which is an inflammation of the cartilage connecting a rib to the breastbone."

"text": "What is Upper Back Pain? Upper back pain may be less common than other spinal ailments, but for many men and women it is no less painful. This condition can manifest as acute or chronic discomfort and significantly affects the lives of those who experience it. The term upper back pain generally describes any pain occurring throughout the upper back area, including the shoulder blades and the region where the rib cage connects to the upper, mid-back and chest sections of the spine. Upper Back Pain Symptoms Because many conditions can cause upper back pain, its symptoms vary widely. You might be suffering from upper back pain if you develop: Stiffness and tightness Muscle spasms Tenderness Pain through the neck and shoulders Numbness Bad posture Weakness In the case of a fractured vertebrae or injured disc, upper back pain may become intensely persistent and debilitating. If chest pain or shortness of breath occurs, seek medical help immediately as these illness indicators may be signs of a heart attack or cardiac failure. Upper Back Pain Causes If the above symptoms sound familiar, there’s a good chance you are being afflicted by upper back pain. Many patients are surprised to learn the broad spectrum of factors that can spur upper back complications. The following determinants can contribute to upper back pain: Strained Muscles The shoulder girdle is attached by large muscles to the scapula, or shoulder blade, and the back of the thoracic rib cage."

"text": "\"Scoliosis Article by John Miller What is Scoliosis? Scoliosis is a medical condition where your spine is curved from side to side. The spine of an individual with typical scoliosis may look more like an \"\"S\"\" than a straight line. Approximately 2% of the population will have a scoliotic curvature in their spine and approximately 10% of these are severe. A scoliosis is named according to where the apex of the curvature of the spine occurs. Most commonly these curves occur in the thoracic (mid-back) and thoracolumbar (junction between the thoracic and lumbar) areas of the spine. Scoliosis does not commonly occur in the neck. Early adolescence, specifically between 11 and 14 years of age is the ideal time to screen your spine for scoliosis. Scoliosis can progress during adulthood if not treated during youth. Therefore, being checked and treated at any stage can greatly improve your comfort, muscular strength and mobility."

Without it, you could not keep yourself upright or even stand up. It gives your body structure and support. It allows you to move about freely and to bend with flexibility. The spine is also designed to protect your spinal cord. The spinal cord is a column of nerves that connects your brain with the rest of your body, allowing you to control your movements. Without a spinal cord, you could not move any part of your body, and your organs could not function. This is why keeping your spine healthy is vital if you want to live an active life.

"text": "Home » Patient Info » Types of Back Problems Patient Info Types of Back Problems Pain is the most common symptom of back problems and if you suffer from back problems the most important one. It is important to distinguish between acute and prolonged pain, because they reflect different types of problems and different medical treatment needs. Acute back pain is a warning sign of injury such as a sprained ligament, bone fracture, or disc herniation. During the first days after an injury, the pain tells the body to avoid movement that would aggravate the injury and slow or prevent healing. This is why the neck becomes stiff a short time after a whiplash injury and why certain movements cause or increase pain at the site of a disc or muscle injury. Prolonged or chronic pain is different. It is usually the result of minor misuse, injury, or strain over a period of time and many factors may contribute to the type or severity of pain that is experienced. For example, excess body weight may place too much strain on the muscles that support normal alignment of the vertebral column as well as on the cushioning discs between vertebrae. An old injury may “flare up” occasionally. Or repetitive misuse such as improper lifting technique that is used daily on the job or at home may cause a weakening of supporting ligaments and muscles and a “nagging” lower back pain."

"text": "Rare Acute Middle Back Pain Acute middle back pain is usually the result of a sudden muscular injury or overexertion. In virtually all cases, the pain is preceded by some event that actually causes trauma or is perceived to cause injury. The mid back region is a very strong area of the spine which helps to provide structure and support to our torsos and protection for our internal organs. The thoracic spine is not an area which is prone to the same degenerative changes as the lower or upper regions. Therefore, many of the common causes of pain in these other areas are less likely to be experienced in the mid spinal region. However, there are some thoracic-specific structural issues which can be painful, as well as many nonstructural conditions which can also cause symptoms here, or virtually anywhere in the vertebral column. This dialog covers the rare scenarios of acute middle back pain and their relevance. Acute Middle Back Pain Explanations Acute back pain is a symptom which comes on strong and sudden. Unless there has been obvious spinal trauma to the middle back, the most logical explanation for acute thoracic pain is a muscular injury. The back muscles and ligaments are incredibly strong, but can suffer from overwork, strain or sprain ."

General RSI Symptoms The overriding general symptom of a repetitive strain injury is pain. Usually this is in the local area affected by the RSI, however, this is not always the case. For example, a pinched nerve in the shoulder region could be the reason for a hand based RSI, so it is important to be aware that there may be a certain degree of linkage between injuries. Pain will usually manifest itself in the muscles or joints and can affect the shoulders, neck, upper back, arms wrists, hands and fingers amongst others. Tingling, numbness, tightness, burning, swelling and general soreness are often experienced along with a feeling of weakness in the affected area. Some may experience a different colouration in the skin and/or a change in shape of the affected region. Tiredness can often be associated with a repetitive strain injury. The actual pain itself can have a weakening affect, however, depending on the type and severity of the RSI, it can also affect sleeping patterns. In the early stages of an RSI it is common to have one or two of the symptoms during the type of activity that brings on the pain, but once the activity has ceased, the symptoms will also disappear."

"text": "Conditions & Treatments - T4 Syndrome The thoracic spine region is comprised of 12 vertebrae and the rib cage with its articulations which enhance the stability of the thoracic spine (1, 2). In the vertebral column, the compressive load at T1 is about 9% of body weight, increasing to 33% at T8 and 47% at T12 (1). Although, there are many potential sources for pain at the thoracic region, research for this region remains limited (1, 2, 3). Various sources of thoracic pain that are musculoskeletal in origin can include: “muscle strain, vertebral or rib fracture, zygapophyseal joint arthropathy, active trigger points, spinal stenosis, costovertebral and costotransverse joint dysfunction, ankylosing spondylitis, diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis, intervertebral disk herniation, intercostal neuralgia and T4 syndrome (3)”. In this article, we will discuss T4 syndrome in more detail. T4 Syndrome Symptoms Symptoms associated with T4 syndrome include constant or intermittent upper thoracic pain which may also be accompanied with back stiffness and upper extremity numbness and/or paresthesia (3, 4, 5, 6). This paresthesia may be glove like in distribution for one or both forearms/hands (3, 4, 5, 6). Referred pain into the neck and scapular regions along with generalized headaches which are dull and achy may be associated with T4 syndrome as well (3, 4, 5, 6). T4 Syndrome Description/Cause The cause of T4 syndrome is inconclusive but may be associated with joint hypomobility and faulty postural alignment (2, 4, 5 ,6). Both the thoracic intervertebral disks and thoracic zygapophyseal joints are thought to be primary pain generators in T4 syndrome based on their pain patterns (5, 6)."

"text": "Learn Muscle Anatomy: Scalene Muscles and Other Neck Anatomy Posted on Tue, Jan 22, 2013 @ 02:34 PM by Maite Suarez-Rivas Share You know what I love about my neck muscles? EVERYTHING. They allow me to move my head so I can do all sorts of things, such as look at the Chipotle menu, eat fro-yo, or turn to look at my coworker (who has so thoughtfully just brought me a piece of cake). Okay, basically they let me stuff my face, but the neck muscles do much more than that! The neck muscles (and neck anatomy on the whole) are responsible for head movement, stabilizing the upper region of the body, assisting in swallowing, helping to elevate the rib cage during inhalation, and more. SKELETAL SYSTEM ATTACHMENTSIf you press against your neck, you'll feel muscles (obviously). However, the neck region is home to more than just neck muscles; muscles of the head, spine, and thorax also attach in this area. The neck muscles include the scalenes, which attach the cervical vertebrae to the thoracic cage, and the sternocleidomastoid, which attaches the skull to the thoracic cage. These muscles move the head and neck. There are also muscles that act on the hyoid and laryngeal skeleton (sternohyoid, sternothyroid, thyrohyoid, omohyoid, stylohyoid) and the mandible (mylohyoid and digastric)."

"text": "\"Introduction The most common symptom of the lumbar and sacral areas, by far, is pain. In fact, back pain is one of the most prevalent symptoms in America today, second only to headache. Its causes may be direct or referred and be the result of dysfunction or disease, either focal or general in nature. The multiplicity of causative and effected ailments is almost endless. At times, the cause is readily apparent. At other times, it is a frustrating determination because of the spinal column's complex structure, weight-bearing chores, and close relationship with the nervous system and cerebrospinal circulation. The confusion can only be relieved through knowledge of the structure, function, and pathophysiology of the body that is producing the symptoms and signs, and an intelligent interpretation of all findings. Functional Considerations As in the thoracic spine, the movements of the lumbar spine are flexion, extension, lateral bending, and rotation. Lateral flexion is relatively free in the lumbar region, followed in order of mobility by extension, flexion, and rotation (minimal). The range of lumbar motion is determined by the disc's resistance to distortion, its thickness (Table 12.1), and the angle and size of the articular surfaces."

Hed say smelly jelly. \"\" Height 5' 9\"\" (1.75 m)Mini Bio (1)Michael Joseph Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana on August 29, 1958, and entertained audiences nearly his entire life. His father, Joe Jackson, had been a guitarist, but was forced to give up his musical ambitions following his marriage to Katherine Jackson (née Katherine Esther Scruse). Together, they prodded their growing family's musical interests at home. By the early 1960s, the older boys Jackie, Tito and Jermaine had begun performing around the city; by 1964, Michael and Marlon had joined in. A musical prodigy, Michael's singing and dancing talents were amazingly mature, and he soon became the dominant voice and focus of the Jackson 5. An opening act for such soul groups as the O-Jays and James Brown, it was Gladys Knight (not Diana Ross) who officially brought the group to Berry Gordy 's attention, and by 1969, the boys were producing back-to-back chart-busting hits as Motown artists (\"\"I Want You Back,\"\" \"\"ABC,\"\" \"\"Never Can Say Goodbye,\"\" \"\"Got to Be There,\"\" etc.). As a product of the 1970s, the boys emerged as one of the most accomplished black pop / soul vocal groups in music history, successfully evolving from a group like The Temptations to a disco phenomenon. Solo success for Michael was inevitable, and by the 1980s, he had become infinitely more popular than his brotherly group."

Why, you ask ... why is he running through the snow in his underwear? You’ve heard about the loneliness of the long-distance runner, but this is ridiculous. Well, I’d like to explain, but ...

Advertisement Still, I don’t think we can leave Max out there in the cold, and so I will say only this much: He is running in his underwear through the snow because he has used the rest of his clothing to help make a rope so he can escape from the asylum and commit murders and pin them on his brother-in-law. Why does he want to frame his brother-in-law? Simple. His brother-in-law framed HIM two years ago, after the mysterious ax-murder of a farm hand."

Writer/director Michael Crichton has concocted a futuristic \"\"Disneyland for adults\"\", a remote resort island where, for a hefty fee, one can indulge in one's wildest fantasies. Businessmen James Brolin and Richard Benjamin are just crazy about the old west, thus they head to the section of Westworld populated by robot desperadoes, robot lawmen, robot dance-hall gals, and the like. Benjamin's first inkling that something is amiss occurs when, during a mock showdown with robot gunslinger Yul Brynner, Brolin is shot and killed for real. It seems that the \"\"nerve center\"\" of Westworld has developed several serious technical glitches: the human staff is dead, and the robots are running amok. Suddenly promoted to the film's hero, Benjamin (who seems as surprised and shocked as the audience) must first avoid, then face down the relentless Brynner. Much of Westworld was lensed on the expansive grounds of the old Harold Lloyd estate in Beverly Hills, so it's no surprise that there's something Lloydlike about Dick Benjamin's instinct for self-preservation.

"text": "\"Music Prince's Anxiety of Influence and 'Purple Rain' in the Context of '80s Pop Music James Fleming 03 Jun 2009Harold Bloom's The Anxiety of Influence notes how that we often attribute artistic success to being able to reconstruct our influences to create something unique, yet, as we all know, it's much more complex than that. Analyzing similar conceptual ground covered by the Police and Michael Jackson prior to Purple Rain, James Fleming dissects Prince's reaction to these other artists landmark songs, and how he was able to manifest these other pop monoliths into his own, reactionary style. During the summer of 1984, Prince accomplished a fete only one other musical act -- The Beatles -- had accomplished before: he was at the top of the charts with an album ( Purple Rain ), a film ( Purple Rain) and a single (\"\"When Doves Cry\"\"). Prince's success during the last half of 1984, however, was hardly the result of mere chance, shifting popular musical taste, or a calculated corporate market scheme. Instead, the sudden popular and critical success of Purple Rain was owed to a conscious and, perhaps, subconscious desire on Prince's part to firmly establish himself as a canonical popular musical artist who could rival and even surpass the popular and critical success of the two most prominent popular musical acts of the time: Michael Jackson and The Police. Over the course of the last half of 1983 and the first half of 1984, Prince had undergone a process of radical self-reinvention, transforming himself from an experimental R &B musician standing on the verge of relative fame to one of the most popular personas in popular culture, with a sound that was both familiar and unique, leading Prince to appear and sound like someone from an alternate reality: strangely familiar yet remarkably new. As with all particularly strong and original artists, Prince did not construct himself or his work out of thin air. While Prince's most direct musical influences are clear -- Jimi Hendrix, Little Richard, Sly Stone and David Bowie to name a few -- a close \"\"reading\"\" of Prince's Purple Rain reveals the extent to which the creation of Prince's sound and persona at the time was deeply indebted to both Michael Jackson and The Police. However, that's not to say that Prince modeled himself or his music directly upon either that of Jackson or The Police. Prince's invention of his Purple Rain persona and sound, rather, was the result of a powerful desire on Prince's part to not simply emulate these artists but to overshadow and, in essence, rewrite them in order to carve out his own unique position in popular consciousness."

But they were also a bit concerned, since the timing of Jackson's follow-up to his mega-selling 1979 album \"\"Off The Wall\"\" could not have seemed worse. For starters, the record industry as a whole was in a bad slump, with shipments industry-wide down by 50 million units between 1980 and 1982. CBS Records' own profits were down 50% and sales were down over 15% for the year. As a result, major company-wide layoffs occurred in mid-August, on a day the company would remember as \"\"Black Friday.\"\" CBS desperately needed Jackson's album to be a hit, but market conditions appeared daunting. THIS IS THRILLER (1) With sales of 29 million, according to the RIAA, \"\"Thriller\"\" is the best-selling studio album in U. S. history. The set is tied with the Eagles' best-of collection, \"\"Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975.\"\" ( 2)\"\"Thriller\"\" has spent the most weeks (37) atop the Billboard 200 of any album by a single artist.

"text": "Education Language Arts Creative Writing Exploring the Different Types of Fiction Exploring the Different Types of Fiction Related Book Getting Your Book Published For Dummies By Sarah Parsons Zackheim, Adrian Zackheim Fiction is a general term used to describe an imaginative work of prose, either a novel, short story, or novella. Recently, this definition has been modified to include both nonfiction works that contain imaginative elements, like Midnight in the Garden Of Good and Evil by John Berendt (Random House, 1994) and Dutch by Edmund Morris (Random House, 1999), and novels consisting largely of factual reporting with a patina of fictionalization, such as Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden (Knopf, 1997). However, in the truest sense, a work of fiction is a creation of the writer’s imagination. The two main types of fiction are literary and commercial. Commercial fiction attracts a broad audience and may also fall into any subgenre, like mystery, romance, legal thriller, western, science fiction, and so on. For example, The Bridges of Madison County by Robert James Waller (Warner, 1992) was a hugely successful commercial novel because the book described the fulfillment of a romantic fantasy that is dear to the heart of millions of readers. Written in a short, easy-to-read style, the book was as mesmerizing to 15-year-olds as it was to 100-year-olds. Other blockbuster commercial fiction authors include John Grisham, Sidney Sheldon, Danielle Steele, and Jackie Collins. Literary fiction tends to appeal to a smaller, more intellectually adventurous audience. A work of literary fiction can fall into any of the subgenres described in the following sections."

Related to angina: angina pectoris, chest pain Angina Definition Angina is pain, \"\"discomfort,\"\" or pressure localized in the chest that is caused by an insufficientsupply of blood ( ischemia) to the heart muscle. It is also sometimes characterized by a feeling of choking, suffocation, or crushing heaviness. This condition is also called angina pectoris. Description Often described as a muscle spasm and choking sensation, the term \"\"angina\"\" is used primarily to describe chest (thoracic) pain originating from insufficient oxygen to the heart muscle. An episode of angina is not an actual heart attack, but rather pain that results from the heartmuscle temporarily receiving too little blood. This temporary condition may be the result of demanding activities such as exercise and does not necessarily indicate that the heart muscle is experiencing permanent damage. In fact, episodes of angina seldom cause permanentdamage to heart muscle. Angina can be subdivided further into two categories: angina of effort and variant angina. Angina of effort Angina of effort is a common disorder caused by the narrowing of the arteries ( atherosclerosis) that supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle."

There are very deep layers of muscle that can't be easily accessed by merely pressing on them. They are the same muscles used by opera singers (or any singers) and orators- in addition to the intercostals (muscles that elevate and depress the ribs) and diaphragm, used in breathing. These are also the muscles used to swallow. This is why professional singers must do vocal warm-ups and exercises- these muscles can be pulled and get tense just like any other muscle in the body!

Intense startling reaction results from spasms of the accessory respiratory muscles of the neck, pharyngeal muscles and diaphragm followed by extension of the neck and a feeling of dyspnoea. During these episodes, they are extremely aroused and exhibit fearful facial expressions. The pathophysiological mechanism of hydrophobia, which is only observed in humans and not in rabid animals, is still not clear. The mental status alternates between periods of agitation and apparent normal mental status. As the disease progresses, confusion becomes severe and patients can become wild and aggressive. The period of agitation is gradually followed by impaired consciousness and coma."

There are quite a few different medical conditions that can cause a throat-burning sensation. In most cases, a truly intense burning feeling in the tissues of the throat suggests that the issue stems from the stomach. There are, however, many non-gastrointestinal issues that can cause a slight burning feeling in the sensitive tissues of the throat and neck. The following list contains information about six common conditions that may help you discover the cause behind the burning sensation in your throat.1. Acid Reflux Acid reflux is a condition that most adults will have experienced at some point in their lifetime. In order to get a better understanding of what acid reflux is and why it occurs, let’s refresh our knowledge of the stomach. When a person consumes food, it travels down the esophagus, through a band of muscles called the LES (lower esophageal sphincter), and lands in the stomach where hydrochloric acid breaks the matter down before passing it into the intestines. The LES is a sphincter which means that it remains shut most of the time, except when it needs to allow things to pass through. Typically, the road to the stomach is a one-way street, but that unfortunately isn’t a strict rule."

"text": "What Is a Throat Swab Culture? A throat swab culture, or throat culture, is a test commonly used to diagnose bacterial infections in the throat. These infections can include strep throat, pneumonia, tonsillitis, whooping cough, and meningitis. The purpose of a throat swab culture is to detect the presence of organisms in the throat that could cause infection. For example, the presence of group A streptococcus bacteria ( Streptococcus pyogenes) in your throat is a key sign that you may have strep throat. Streptococcal bacteria are very contagious. They can be spread through airborne droplets. An infected person can easily pass the bacteria on if they cough, sneeze, or share food or drinks. The bacteria can also be picked up from doorknobs or other surfaces and transferred to your nose, mouth, or eyes. If you have a sore throat and your doctor suspects that you may have strep throat or another bacterial infection, they may order a throat swab culture."

"text": "On This Page Background Use of RIDTs in Clinical Decision-making Use of RIDTs for Public Health Purposes to Detect Influenza Outbreaks Factors Influencing Results of RIDTs Interpretation of Rapid Influenza Diagnostic Test Results Information on Local Influenza Activity When to Consider Further Influenza Testing References Background Rapid influenza diagnostic tests (RIDTs) are immunoassays that can identify the presence of influenza A and B viral nucleoprotein antigens in respiratory specimens, and display the result in a qualitative way (positive vs. negative) (1). In the United States, a number of RIDTs are commercially available. ( See “ Table 1: Influenza Virus Testing Methods ” and “ Table 2: Characteristics of Rapid Influenza Diagnostic Tests ”.) The reference standards for laboratory confirmation of influenza virus infection in respiratory specimens are reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) or viral culture. RIDTs can yield results in a clinically relevant time frame, i.e., less than approximately 15 minutes. However, RIDTs have limited sensitivity to detect influenza viruses in respiratory specimens compared to RT-PCR or viral culture and negative RIDT test results should be interpreted with caution given the potential for false negative results, especially during peak influenza activity in a community. Some RIDTs use analyzer reader devices to standardize result interpretation.1 RIDTs do not include rapid molecular assays that have higher sensitivity to detect influenza viruses in respiratory specimens compared to RIDTs. See Guidance for Clinicians on the Use of RT-PCR and Other Molecular Assays for Diagnosis of Influenza Virus Infection for more information. Advantages and Disadvantages of RIDTs Advantages Produce quick result in less than approximately 15 minutes, simple to perform Some RIDTs are cleared for office/bedside use. RIDTs that have been CLIA waived can be used in settings that include point-of-care."

Your respiratory illness might be the flu if you have fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people may have vomiting and diarrhea. People may be infected with the flu and have respiratory symptoms without a fever. Flu viruses usually cause the most illness during the colder months of the year. However, influenza can also occur outside of the typical flu season."

"text": "Health | Personal Health Strep Symptoms: When to Use Antibiotics By JANE E. BRODY OCT. 10, 2006Stuart Bradford School is in full swing, it’s fall, and strep-throat season is about to begin. All physicians and most parents by now know the importance of recognizing and adequately treating a throat infection caused by Group A streptococcal bacteria. These organisms, if not stopped in their tracks by appropriate antibiotics, can result in rheumatic fever and permanently damaged heart valves, among other serious complications. Thanks to penicillin, which readily kills strep bacteria, rheumatic fever has all but disappeared in countries like the United States. Now physicians are worried about overtreatment, the prescription of antibiotics for children whose sore throats are caused not by bacteria but by viruses that do not cause long-term damage and are not susceptible to antimicrobial therapy. Some children and adults are healthy carriers of strep bacteria; the organisms reside in their throats but do not make them sick. They rarely, if ever, spread the infection to others. But when such carriers develop a sore throat for any reason, a positive test result for strep typically leads to treatment with antibiotics, which is often needless and possibly hazardous. Complicated Decision Symptoms of a strep throat and a sore throat caused by a virus can overlap (children may experience stuffy noses, coughs and sneezing with a strep infection as well as with a cold), further complicating a doctor’s decision on whether to treat the illness or to let nature take its course."

They also produce antibodies to fight infection. But sometimes the tonsils themselves become infected. Overwhelmed by bacteria or viruses, they swell and become inflamed, a condition known as tonsillitis. Tonsillitis is common, especially in children. The condition can occur occasionally or recur frequently. Causes and Symptoms of Tonsillitis Bacterial and viral infections can cause tonsillitis. A common cause is Streptococcus (strep) bacteria. Other common causes include: Adenoviruses Influenza virus Epstein-Barr virus Parainfluenza viruses Enteroviruses Herpes simplex virus The main symptoms of tonsillitis are inflammation and swelling of the tonsils, sometimes severe enough to block the airways.

Indeed, he may still be a carrier and failure to detect the infection will prolong the period of infection, possibly infecting others.

Martin built up our expectations around a savior character, and took them away in a matter of seconds. Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not seen Season 4, Episode 8, “The Mountain and The Viper. ”Over the course of this season, Oberyn Martell, better known as the Red Viper of Dorne, quickly became a fan favorite and antihero that we could all get behind to save Tyrion. However, the bloodthirsty author knew that his character archetype should die –- rather, needs to die — and here’s why:1. It was in Oberyn Martell’s DNA to die Besides providing the viewers with titillating sexcapades with his paramour, he had no other purpose in life but to seek vengeance for his sister and her children. This single-minded purpose left him open to death. Proven time and time again by characters like Ned and Robb Stark, if you do not not play the Game of Thrones across all boards you will meet your inevitable demise.2. An extended lifespan serves little to no purpose Like Boba Fett in “Star Wars,” Oberyn was the wildcard whose presence has a greater impact by being short-lived because they are both ephemeral characters. If Oberyn lived, what would he do after all his enemies are dead? He has no interest in the Iron Throne, nor does he have any allegiances to any of the other houses.3."

From simple shell necklaces to bejewelled crowns and bracelets, people have a long history of covering themselves with expensive and expressive art and decorations. When it comes to expensive jewelry, most of us envision royalty or celebrities covered in an array of silver, gold and gemstones. Most of the jewelry market is directed at women because, let’s face it, the majority of guys outside of movie and sports stars, can’t pull off more than cufflinks, a watch and a wedding band. Nevertheless, jewelry holds different meanings for different people. It can be a symbol of love, like an engagement ring. It can be a symbol of status, like a Cartier diamond necklace. It can also be art, something which is impractical to wear and better used on display to show the craftsmanship and design quality. By combining these different meanings and high demand with the rarity of certain materials used in creating jewelry it is easy to understand why prices can get so high."

It is obvious when you think about the hundreds of jewelry models that made the brand iconic. From the Love bracelet to the extraordinary diamond rings, the paved panthers or the nail… not to forget the Trinity collection mixing the three types of gold for friendship, loyalty and true love. A demonstration of Love … but the real question is: do you deserve it? The Making of an Icon and The Man behind the Concept Few things in life are as pure and wholesome as the infamous Cartier Love Bracelet – a universally coveted piece of jewelry carrying on powerful symbolism. And could it be any different? Love is the most powerful driving force in the universe, an emotion so strong and inherent to all that it transcends all differences to form lifelong bonds… How far would you go for love? A question Cartier was able to answer with the LOVE bracelet. Not only for its ethereal appearance, but also for the profound meaning behind it, the LOVE bracelet has become worldly acclaimed and desired by men and women’s wrists in the recent years."

A lot of the time, lateral knee pain right below the joint tends to correlate really highly to tight IT bands, and when hit up with some SMR and maybe some tac and stretch kind of stuff, although really really, ridiculously painful, it tends to end the knee pain once the person can regain consciousness and not hate life.

Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 0:17The funny thing is, this isn’t just isolated to knee pain. I’ve had some pretty good results at having clients reduce hip and low back tension by getting grimy on their IT band. Why? Well, it’s kind of a big deal part of the body. Essentially, the IT band is a thick, thick band of fascia that runs between the glute max & tensor fascia lata and down to the upper lateral part of the tibia. The glute max particularly has some thick and dense connectivity to the IT band with its lateral fibers. Following the chain up, the fascia that connects through the glutes also crosses the SI joint and low back, making this line of tissue incredibly important for the overall function of the hip and low back."

"text": "Iliotibial Band Tendinitis Background and Etiology The hip joint is one of the largest joints in the body. It is composed of one osseous (bony) joint. The hip is built for weight bearing and movement in several different planes. The stability of the hip joint comes from the joint design, capsule, ligaments, muscle and a cartilaginous tissue called the labrum. There are several groups of muscles and tendons that attach near, and control, the hip. A tendon is the cord-like part of the muscle that attaches muscle to bone. Hip tendinitis is the irritation, inflammation and swelling of tendons around the hip. Iliotibial Band Tendon The iliotibial band is a fibrous band of tissue that is part of the Tensor Fascia Latae muscle at the hip. The band runs from the lateral pelvis to the outside of the knee, attaching to the tibia. The iliotibial band stabilizes the knee and hip during walking, standing and running activities."

"text": "\"Information about Trigger Points and their Treatment Compiled by Dr Diana Cross What are trigger points [TPs]? 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. ]"

A bra that pinches, underwires that poke into the breasts or underarms, straps that fall off or cut into the shoulders, or a band that rides up is irritating to say the least. Breasts that look saggy and defeated, bulge over the cups to form two extra breasts, or are pushed together to form a uniboob are not doing you justice. Bras that are too loose or too tight can even cause back pain, skin irritation, breast pain, and stretch marks. All of these things can be avoided by measuring your bra size to find the right bra for you. You should measure your bra size at least once a year, during and after pregnancy or any other hormonal changes, and after weight changes. Measuring your bra size is slightly more complicated than measuring for clothing. However, with the help of this guide, you can measure your bra size to find the best fit for you.

Plantar fasciitis occurs when the plantar fascia develops tears causing pain and inflammation. The pain of plantar fasciitis is usually located close to where the fascia attaches to the calcaneous—the heel bone. Plantar fasciitis causes stabbing pain that usually occurs with your very first steps in the morning because of the tightening that occurs overnight while you sleep. Once your foot loosens up, the pain often decreases, but it may return after long periods of standing or remaining in a seated position. Plantar fasciitis is particularly common in runners, people who are overweight, women who are pregnant and those who wear shoes with inadequate support. There are many risk factors that plantar fasciitis suffers should look out for. Rigorous exercise and sports can significantly stress the heel tissue."

Anxiety is defined as: A state of uneasiness, apprehension; as about future uncertainties. A state of apprehension, uncertainty, and fear resulting from anticipation of a realistic or fantasized threatening event or situation, often impairing physical and psychological functioning. In other words, anxiety occurs when we behave (think and act) in an apprehensive manner, such as when worrying about an event or situation. With this in mind, anxiety is not a force or 'thing' in itself. It's a state of uneasiness that results when we worry. More about this in a moment.

Many medical professionals recommend it because it is non invasive and the least painful of all non-medication treatments. External hemorrhoid banding is usually considered when other hemorrhoid treatments have failed to work. How Does External Hemorrhoid Banding Work? If a person undergoes external hemorrhoid banding, they only need a local anesthesia that is used to numb the area where the hemorrhoid is. Individuals are actually awake throughout the procedure but feel little to know pain, just some added pressure. The First Step Is The Use Of An Anoscope The first step of external hemorrhoid banding is to have an anoscope inserted. This is a tube-shaped instrument that has a light connected to it. It allows the doctor to see inside the anus and locate the exposed hemorrhoids. Most medical professionals first start with the largest hemorrhoid and hold it in place with an instrument while one or two very small rubber bands are placed around the base."

"text": "Vaginal Mesh Complications: Treatment for Vaginal, Pelvic, Leg, Buttock, and/or Abdominal Pain Mesh used vaginally for incontinence or prolapse can occasionally cause pain vaginally, throughout the pelvis, in the legs/groins, buttocks and/or abdominally. Typically when this occurs it is secondary to the mesh being placed too tight, or healing in a position that is pulling on the muscles and nerves and causing irritation to these structures. Rarely, as with any pelvic floor surgery, a nerve injury can occur and this can cause pain as well. Again, one has to remember that pain as a complication can occur with any pelvic surgery, whether mesh is used or not. Some of the newer technology to attach the mesh in place vaginally actually has less risk of causing pain or a nerve injury compared to some of the older, more “traditional” surgery where mesh is not used. However, even with the best technology, risks such as pain exist and the most important thing is to recognize the complication and get adequate treatment early in the process. In most cases, pain is a complication that can be treated and eradicated if properly recognized and treated. When a woman has pain following a mesh procedure for incontinence or prolapse a conservative approach can be utilized at first, however if the pain does not improve or is very severe (which may be a sign of nerve injury), a surgical approach may be indicated. Conservative therapy may involve pelvic floor physical therapy (ie manual therapy on the muscles and the nerves in the vagina and pelvis to help them relax or relieve spasm that may be causing pain) and/or trigger point injections into the muscles and/or nerves in the vagina that may be causing the pain. If the pain does not respond to this therapy, then surgery is indicated."

[ 1] GTPS refers to a chronic regional pain caused by a number of disorders of the peritrochanteric space, [2] including structures as the trochanteric bursa, the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus tendons and the Iliotibial band. [ 3] It is a combination of both gluteal (buttock) tendon injuries (tendinopathy) and bursitis (inflammation of the bursa) surrounding the hip joint. Previously, trochanteric bursitis was seen as the main pain source, but recent research indicates that bursitis is only seen in the minority of patients. [ 3]Clinically Relevant Anatomy With kind permission from Anatomy Stock Images The greater trochanter is situated on the proximolateral side of the femur, just distal to the hip joint and the neck of the femur. On this bony outgrowth (=apophysis) tendons of the gluteus minimus, medius and maximus and the tensor facia latae attach. The last named muscles keep the Iliotibial band (ITB) tense. The tension could also be raised due to contraction of the Vastus lateralis, which has some fibers on the greater trochanter. Due to contraction of these muscles there can be a lot of friction generated in the GT area. The ITB moves back and forward a lot when we walk or run."

TITLE INSURANCE PRIMERBenefits of Title Insurance Title insurance issued by Old Republic Title provides a broad range of benefits to the parties involved in a real estate transaction. To the Purchaser of Real Estate... The purchaser of real estate needs protection against serious financial loss due to a defect in the title to the property purchased. For a single, one-time premium, which is a modest amount in relationship to the value of the property, a buyer can receive the protection of a title insurance policy - a policy that is backed by the reserves and solvency of the Company. A title insurance policy will cover both claims arising out of title problems that could have been discovered in the public records, and those so-called \"\"non-record\"\" defects that could not be discovered in the record, even with the most complete search. A title insurance policy will not only protect the insured owner, but also that person's heirs for as long as they hold title to the property, and even after they sell by warranty deed. The Company will not only satisfy any valid claim made against the insured's title, but it will pay for the costs and legal expenses of defending against a title claim. To the Lender... The overwhelming majority of mortgage loans made in the United States are made by persons who are acting in a fiduciary capacity - by savings and loan associations, savings banks, and commercial banks on behalf of their depositors, and by life insurance companies on behalf of their policyholders. Because they are lending other people's money (other people's savings or policyholder's funds) these lenders must be concerned with the safety of their mortgage investments."

"text": "How Much Does Title Insurance Cost? Posted by Courthouse Direct.com Team - 13 September, 2017The closing costs of real estate transactions often include the cost of title insurance. This specialized form of insurance protects both buyers and lenders from risks associated with a land title. In the event that a title search or future dispute jeopardizes the original purchasing agreement, title insurance covers certain losses and expenses. Understanding this type of coverage and the cost of title insurance could help you save more on your next real estate purchase. The Two Primary Types of Title Insurance Title insurance policies can cover a property owner or a lender. Most lenders require buyers to invest in lender-focused coverage as part of the terms of a lending agreement. While owner coverage is optional, many owners choose to invest in the coverage to offset potential dispute resolution costs in the future. Resolving a title claim can cost tens of thousands of dollars or more – a high price most land owners cannot afford to pay out of pocket. In many transactions, title insurance flies under the radar."

We at First Texas Title can assist you in the closing process from the moment you reach an agreement with a buyer to the time you receive the proceeds of the sale. This page is designed to give you some basic information about the process and to help you get started. The Contract The first step in selling your property is finding a buyer and reaching an agreement on the terms of the sale. In most situations, sellers should enter into a written agreement with the buyer setting out the terms of the sale, which is commonly referred to as the \"\"contract of sale\"\", or just \"\"contract\"\" for short. In the contract, the seller agrees to sell the property and the buyer agrees to purchase the property upon the terms and conditions contained in the contract. Common terms and conditions include the sale price, closing date and location, amount of earnest money, whether or not a title insurance policy will be provided by the seller, who will pay what closing costs, who will provide a survey of the property, does the buyer have an option period or feasibility period during which inspections will be conducted, and will the buyer take possession at closing or at some other time. If you are represented by a real estate agent, the agent will most likely prepare the contract for you using forms promulgated by the Texas Real Estate Commission. If you do not have a real estate agent, you will need to prepare a contract yourself or make other arrangements. If you need further assistance with this, we can provide you with the necessary contract forms and can assist you in filling them out."

May 8, 2015 | Real Estate Law | 0 comments By Gary Bowers, Attorney Whether buying a house or refinancing your existing mortgage, you the purchaser/borrower may ask what is the role of the closing attorney? There are five primary functions handled by the closing attorney during a real estate transaction: Title examination: The purchaser and lender will both want a clear title for the property. Upon receipt of a real estate purchase agreement or a request from a bank or mortgage broker, the closing attorney will begin to check the title to the property being sold. The title examination is for the purchaser and the lender to evaluate title to the real estate. The purchaser will need to know whether there are certain restrictions to use, easements, encroachments or whether the title is marketable and clear for the seller to transfer to purchaser. The closing attorney will identify any existing mortgages against the real estate that will need to be satisfied at closing in order to transfer good title. The lender will want to have an overview of what liens, judgments and mortgages, if any, exist that must be addressed prior to or at closing so it can secure a 1 st lien position on the real estate. Also, the title examination provides the lender’s underwriters with opportunity to raise concern with the status of the title. Title insurance: Title insurance protects the purchaser and the lender in the event a future problem is found with the title."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Title insurance is a form of indemnity insurance predominantly found in the United States which insures against financial loss from defects in title to real property and from the invalidity or unenforceability of mortgage loans. The vast majority of title insurance policies are written on land within the United States. Unlike some land registration systems in countries outside the US, the US states' recorder of deeds generally do not guarantee indefeasible title to those recorded titles. Title insurance will defend against a lawsuit attacking the title, or reimburse the insured for the actual monetary loss incurred up to the dollar amount of insurance provided by the policy. The first title insurance company, the Law Property Assurance and Trust Society, was formed in Pennsylvania in 1853. [ 1] Typically the real property interests insured are fee simple ownership or a mortgage. However, title insurance can be purchased to insure any interest in real property, including an easement, lease or life estate. There are two types of policies – owner and lender. Just as lenders require fire insurance and other types of insurance coverage to protect their investment, nearly all institutional lenders also require title insurance [a loan policy] to protect their interest in the collateral of loans secured by real estate. Some mortgage lenders, especially non-institutional lenders, may not require title insurance."

"text": "\"Do I need Title Insurance? Selling and Purchasing Real Estate is one of the most important and often the largest transaction people are involved in. The national average for people selling their homes is 11 years. I thought discussing the role title insurance plays in a real estate transaction would be helpful to those of you considering purchasing or selling property in the near future. When you purchase a piece of property you receive a deed and title to the property. The deed is a written document signed and witnessed by two people by which one or more people conveys title of land to another. The title is the bundles of rights in the property. How do you know you are getting a free and clear title? In Florida residential real estate transactions, title companies or attorneys usually handle closings. An attorney’s opinion of title is limited to recorded matters and if there is a claim, the attorney must be found negligent and the claim paid by that attorney."

"text": "\"Salvage Cars and Salvage Title Insurance February 22, 2012Find out how to lower salvage car insurance premiums, and how to find the best salvage title insurance providers. Comments Email Along with all the regular complexities of purchasing and ensuring a used vehicle, there's now a growing debate about the reality of buying a salvage car and getting it on the road with salvage title insurance. This sub-topic around the specific buying option has created some controversy, and there are a lot of opinions out there about the best practices for dealing with a vehicle that has been branded with a salvage title. What Is a Salvage Title? A used vehicle with a \"\"salvage title\"\" or \"\"rebuilt title\"\" has been previously damaged as a result of a collision, fire damage, flooding, or some other major calamity. Some insurers and other parties set standards for damage at a percentage of the car's value. The requirements for salvage titles differ by state, but generally, vehicles branded as rebuilt have to be retitled with a salvage title that marks the vehicle as being previously refurbished. It's difficult to figure out how to ensure and drive a car with a salvage title because of different state standards. Also, because it's such an umbrella term, it's often hard for buyers and others to figure out exactly why the salvage title applies, and whether a car has been wrecked, stolen, or any combination of the above. State Rules on Salvage Cars for Sale As mentioned, the specific standards for getting a salvage title on a car vary from state to state."

Examples include:unpaid property taxes;fraud or forgery of a previous deed; anda spouse or unknown heir who makes a claim against the property. Title insurance agents will identify defects in the title that need to be corrected before the owner of the land sells it to you. Agents will check for problems with your title by looking at public records, including deeds, mortgages, wills, divorce decrees, court judgments, tax records, liens, encumbrances, and maps. A title insurance policy also protects right of access to the property. What Types of Title Insurance are Available? There are two types of title polices.

Irrespective of the title insurance regulations that a state legislature has put in place, consumers will likely turn to insurance regulators for answers to their questions about title insurance. The goal of this article is to acquaint the regulator with the basics of title insurance coverage and explain how title insurance differs from coverage provided by other policies. The article will also examine the state of the title insurance market and explore some of the key regulatory concerns spawned recently by a number of title insurance company insolvencies and title agent defalcations [1]• Title Insurance � How is it Different? What Does Title Insurance Do? Title insurance protects real estate purchasers and/or lenders from losses that arise after a real estate settlement as a result of unknown liens, encumbrances or other defects upon the title that existed prior to settlement. Examples of title defects include outstanding property taxes not paid by a previous owner, fraud or forgery of a prior deed or transfer, or a spouse or unknown heir who steps forward to make a claim against the title. If a claim were made, defending the claim could cost thousands of dollars in attorney fees and, if the claim were valid, could even cause the buyer to lose the property itself. A title insurance policy provides coverage for legal defense, as well as the coverage amount listed in the policy, which usually equals the purchase price of the real property.

When muscles contract, tendons pull on bones. This causes parts of the body (such as a finger) to move. The muscles that move the fingers and thumb are located in the forearm. Long tendons extend from these muscles through the wrist and attach to the small bones of the fingers and thumb. The tendons on the top of the hand straighten the fingers.

If not treated properly, serious finger injuries can lead to permanent deformity and loss of function. Careful treatment allows for a faster and more complete recovery. Many different types of finger injuries are common: A laceration (cut) may only go through skin, or it may cut through blood vessels, nerves, and tendons that lie just under the skin. An avulsion occurs when part of the skin or soft tissue is torn off. With an amputation, tissue is completely cut or torn away from the finger. Fingernail injuries The fingernail and the underlying nail bed are the most commonly injured part of the hand. If a fingernail is injured by a direct blow, the underlying bone may also be broken. Fractures (broken finger bone)Each finger (except the thumb) has three bones, or phalanges: the proximal (closest) phalanx (plural-phalanges), the middle phalanx, and the distal (furthest) phalanx. A fracture of a phalanx may be an isolated injury, but it is often associated with injury to tendons, ligaments, fingernails, or other soft tissue."

"text": "\"Biceps Tendonitis & Biceps Tears The biceps muscle is located in the front of the upper arm and is used when lifting, bending the arm and reaching over the head. The upper part of this muscle attaches to the shoulder with two tendons, which are tough bands of tissue that connect muscles to bones. When an upper biceps tendon becomes inflamed, the condition is called biceps tendonitis, which is also referred to as biceps tendinopathy or biceps tendinosis. Biceps tendonitis is considered a fairly common cause of shoulder pain. Biceps tendon tears can happen at the shoulder or elbow and can be partial or complete tears. What Causes Biceps Tendonitis? The biceps muscle is made up of two parts: the short head and the long head. The long head of the biceps is the outer portion of the muscle and connects to the top of the shoulder socket, and it is responsible for keeping the shoulder joint stable. Between the two parts, the longer head is much more likely to be affected by biceps tendonitis because it's more vulnerable due to its location. Biceps tendonitis usually develops when this tendon endures too much strain that causes it to become irritated and inflamed."

This makes the shoulder vulnerable to problems if any of its parts aren't in good working order. The rotator cuff tendons are key to the healthy functioning of the shoulder. They are subject to a lot of wear and tear, or degeneration, as we use our arms. Tearing of the rotator cuff tendons is an especially painful injury. A torn rotator cuff creates a very weak shoulder.

"text": "Different types of injury The basic principles Sports injuries tend to be divided into two categories:• soft tissue injuries (anything except bone)• bony injury, which means either the bone is broken (fracture) or the bones are out of their normal alignment (dislocation). To understand how bone and soft tissue (which includes skin, muscle, tendon, cartilage and ligaments) can become involved in injury, you need to understand how these structures are related to one another anatomically. The easiest way to do this is to study a typical joint, which is where many sports injuries strike. Joints are vulnerable because, although they are flexible to allow movement, they are also liable to twists and sprains. In many activities they take the brunt of the weight (for instance, the knees in skiing) and/or repetitive movement. Every joint is different, but the general principles of how bone, cartilage, tendon and so on are related to one another remain the same. Joints are where two bones meet. The ends of the bones that move against each other are protected by cartilage. The joint is enclosed within a joint capsule (made up of fibrous tissue) which, on the innermost surface, is lined by a membrane called the synovial membrane. This produces a viscous fluid (the synovial fluid) which lubricates the bone surfaces within the capsule."

"text": "\"Anatomy of the Shoulder The two main bones of the shoulder are the humerus and the scapula (shoulder blade). The joint cavity is cushioned by articular cartilage covering the head of the humerus and face of the glenoid. The scapula extends up and around the shoulder joint at the rear to form a roof called the acromion, and around the shoulder joint at the front to form the coracoid process. The end of the scapula, called the glenoid, meets the head of the humerus to form a glenohumeral cavity that acts as a flexible ball-and-socket joint. The joint is stabilized by a ring of fibrous cartilage surrounding the glenoid called the labrum. Ligaments connect the bones of the shoulder, and tendons join the bones to surrounding muscles. The biceps tendon attaches the biceps muscle to the shoulder and helps to stabilize the joint. Four short muscles originate on the scapula and pass around the shoulder where their tendons fuse together to form the rotator cuff. All of these components of your shoulder, along with the muscles of your upper body, work together to manage the stress your shoulder receives as you extend, flex, lift and throw.

Torn Ligament Symptoms Torn Ligament at Various Places Diagnosing a Torn Ligament Torn Ligament Treatment Torn Ligament Prevention Torn Ligament Pictures What is a Ligament? Before we can understand what a torn ligament is, we should first define a ligament. Ligament, by definition, refers to a group of tough, fibrous, stretchy and dense connective tissue including attenuated collagenous fiber. Ligament elasticity is arranged in a crossing pattern that prevents the joint from being loose. Ligaments are what connects one bone to the other bone in the body forming a joint. These ligaments join the bones and allows a person to walk without falling or tumbling over. It is different from what a tendon does, it connects bones to muscles. Ligaments limit the movement of a certain joint and sometimes prevents mobility altogether."

"text": "Achilles Tendon Repair - Orthopedic/Knee Surgery Achilles Tendon Repair Treatment Abroad Overview The Achilles tendon attaches the bottom of the calf muscle to the base of the heel, an area commonly injured in sports such as jogging, tennis, or activities that require fast changes of direction, such as soccer and football. An Achilles tendon repair is usually performed when the Achilles tendon is ruptured, torn or otherwise injured. In the event that nonsurgical treatment such as a cast or walking boot fails to reattach or heal the tendon, surgery is often performed. Who Benefits from Achilles Tendon Repair? Anyone who has experienced a torn or ruptured Achilles tendon may benefit from reattachment or repair surgical procedures. A torn or ruptured Achilles tendon makes it extremely difficult to walk, place weight on the injured limb, or perform daily living activities. Faster recovery time, reduced pain and increased mobility are enhanced through Achilles tendon repair techniques. Achilles Tendon Repair Procedure In most cases, individuals suffering an Achilles tendon injury will undergo one of two types of surgery: Percutaneous surgery - the surgeon makes several small incisions through which laparoscopic or endoscopic surgical tools are inserted, offering a less invasive surgical approach. Open surgery - a large incision is made along the back of the calf muscle to access the injured area of the Achilles tendon. In either type of Achilles tendon repair procedure, the surgeon will access the torn or ruptured area of the Achilles tendon and then sew the edges of the torn or ruptured tendon back together."

Rotator Cuff Tears PRINTABLE BOOKLETA Patient's Guide to Rotator Cuff Tears Introduction The shoulder is an elegant and complex piece of machinery. Its design allows us to reach and use our hands in many different positions. However, while the shoulder joint has great range of motion, it is not very stable. This makes the shoulder vulnerable to problems if any of its parts aren't in good working order. The rotator cuff tendons are key to the healthy functioning of the shoulder. They are subject to a lot of wear and tear, or degeneration, as we use our arms. Tearing of the rotator cuff tendons is an especially painful injury. A torn rotator cuff creates a very weak shoulder. Most of the time patients with torn rotator cuffs are in late middle age."

If not treated properly, serious finger injuries can lead to permanent deformity and loss of function. Careful treatment allows for a faster and more complete recovery. Many different types of finger injuries are common: A laceration (cut) may only go through skin, or it may cut through blood vessels, nerves, and tendons that lie just under the skin. An avulsion occurs when part of the skin or soft tissue is torn off. With an amputation, tissue is completely cut or torn away from the finger. Fingernail injuries The fingernail and the underlying nail bed are the most commonly injured part of the hand. If a fingernail is injured by a direct blow, the underlying bone may also be broken. Fractures (broken finger bone)Each finger (except the thumb) has three bones, or phalanges: the proximal (closest) phalanx (plural-phalanges), the middle phalanx, and the distal (furthest) phalanx. A fracture of a phalanx may be an isolated injury, but it is often associated with injury to tendons, ligaments, fingernails, or other soft tissue."

Biceps Rupture PRINTABLE BOOKLETA Patient's Guide to Biceps Rupture Introduction A biceps rupture involves a complete tear of the main tendon that attaches the top of the biceps muscle to the shoulder. It happens most often in middle-aged people and is usually due to years of wear and tear on the shoulder. A torn biceps in younger athletes sometimes occurs during weightlifting or from actions that cause a sudden load on the arm, such as hard fall with the arm outstretched. This guide will help you understandwhat parts of the shoulder are affectedthe causes of a biceps ruptureways to treat this problem Anatomy What parts of the shoulder are affected? The biceps muscle goes from the shoulder to the elbow on the front of the upper arm. Two separate tendons (tendons attach muscles to bones) connect the upper part of the biceps muscle to the shoulder. The upper two tendons of the biceps are called the proximal biceps tendons, because they are closer to the top of the arm. The main proximal tendon is the long head of the biceps. It connects the biceps muscle to the top of the shoulder socket, the glenoid."

A flexor tendon injury can make it impossible to bend your fingers or thumb. Tendons are tissues that connect muscles to bone. When muscles contract, tendons pull on bones. This causes parts of the body (such as a finger) to move. The flexor tendons allow you to bend your fingers. The muscles that move the fingers and thumb are located in the forearm. Long tendons extend from these muscles through the wrist and attach to the small bones of the fingers and thumb. The tendons on the top of the hand straighten the fingers. These are known as extensor tendons."

Despite a disturbing number of reports of problems, the manufacturers have failed to adequately warn about the risk of tendon damage and many users have not been made aware that they should immediately report any early signals of tendon pain.>>INFORMATION: Levaquin Achilles Tendon Rupture Lawsuits The FDA has received hundreds of reports of tendon ruptures, tendonitis and other severe forms of tendon damage after using fluoroquinolones, a class of antibioitics which Levaquin and Cipro are a part of. About 60% of the reported tendon ruptures followed the use of Levaquin and the most frequently ruptured tendon was the Achilles tendon. Also known as the calcaneal tendon or tendocalcaneus, the Achilles tendon attaches the calf to the heel bone. An Achilles tendon rupture is a very painful injury and it often requires surgery to reattach the tendon to its normal position. Months of rehabilitation and therapy are often necessary to regain use of the ankle, and it is not uncommon for there to be ongoing tendon problems and pain even after a repair. The lawyers at Saiontz & Kirk, P. A. are reviewing potential Levaquin and Cipro Achilles tendon rupture lawsuits. Although most of the people who have contacted our office after suffering tendon problems took either Levaquin (levoflaxacin) or Cipro (ciprofloxacin), tendon damage has also been associated with the use of other similar antibiotics, such as: Penetrex (enoxacin)Tequin (gatifloxacin)Maxaquin (moxifloxacin)Noroxin (norfloxacin)Floxin (Ofloxacin)If you, a friend or family member suffered an Achilles tendon rupture or other tendon damage after taking Levaquin or one of the other fluoroquinolone antibiotics, request a free consultation and claim evaluation.37 Comments Cipro and Levaquin Black Box Warning - Tendon Rupture Lawsuits | Legal News & Updates Blog - Saiontz, Kirk & Miles July 12, 2008 at 10:15 pm - Reply […] side effects.

One of these conditions is an injury to a small structure in the shoulder called the labrum. A labral tear can cause pain and a catching sensation in the shoulder. Labral tears can be very difficult to diagnose. This document will help you understand:where and what the labrum iswhat tests your doctor will run to diagnose the problemwhat you can do to relieve your pain Anatomy What is the labrum? The shoulder is made up of three bones: the scapula (shoulder blade), the humerus (upper arm bone), and the clavicle (collarbone). A part of the scapula, called the glenoid, makes up the socket of the shoulder. The glenoid is very shallow and flat. The labrum is a rim of soft tissue that makes the socket more like a cup."

"text": "Hand, Finger & Wrist Pain, Conditions & Injury A closer look at hand anatomy & injury The human hand consists of several small bones called phalanges, metacarpals and carpals. The wrist is where the radius and the ulna (the two bones of the lower arm) meet at the hand. An area of cartilage between the radius and the ulna separates the radioulnar joint from the rest of the wrist, which is contained within a capsule of cartilage, synovial membrane, and ligaments. Radiocarpal ligaments carry the hand along with the forearm in rotational movements, and intercarpal ligaments strengthen the small wrist bones. From performing minor repetitive tasks (like clicking a mouse) to suddenly stopping the force of the body during a fall, the hands and wrists are susceptible to pain and injury at all stages in life. The carpal tunnel is an area where several tendons and nerves pass through the wrist. In carpal tunnel syndrome, a narrowing of this opening compresses the nerves and tendons. Another common problem is pain at the base of the thumb, usually later in life, from arthritis. This can be treated with splints, injections, and possible reconstructive surgery, if needed. Other common wrist problems include bone fractures, dislocations of the various component joints, and inflamed tendons and ligaments from overuse."

You can, of course, use the Quick Start window to open one of the template sessions that come with Pro Tools, but that can be limiting, and doesn't really help you to understand how the signal flows into, through and out of Pro Tools. When you create a new Pro Tools session, then, I suggest that you ignore templates available in the Quick Start dialogue: in fact, tick the \"\"do not show again” box and go completely DIY, even if you are new to Pro Tools. Yes, you will end up with a blank session with empty Edit and Mix windows, but by the end of this two‑part series, you will know how to add exactly the tracks you want, and you will understand what they all do. I often notice that even seasoned Pro Tools users don't fully understand exactly what all the different track types are for, and as this is a fundamental aspect of the program, it is worth learning properly. To create new tracks, choose Select New from the Track menu, or hit Command+Shift+N (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+N (Windows). The New Tracks dialogue is where it all starts.

Does the answer to this question change if you are the recipient of affirmative action? From school admissions to hiring, affirmative action policies attempt to compensate for this country’s brutal history of racial discrimination by giving some minority applicants a leg up. This spring the Supreme Court will decide the latest affirmative action case, weighing in on the issue for the first time in 10 years. The last time around, in 2003, the court upheld the University of Michigan Law School’s affirmative action plan. A divided court ruled, 5 to 4, that “student body diversity is a compelling state interest that can justify the use of race in university admissions.” Writing for the majority, Justice Sandra Day O’Connor said, “We expect that 25 years from now, the use of racial preferences will no longer be necessary to further the interest approved today. ”In the intervening period, scholars have been looking more closely at how affirmative action works in practice. Based on how they interpret the data that have been collected, some of these scholars have come to believe that affirmative action doesn’t always help the students it’s supposed to."

"text": "\"Home Buying Guides Auto Performance Parts Engine & Components Connecting Rods How Important Are Tracking Rods?e Bay 26K Views 1 Like Like Share March 3, 2016Tracking rods, more commonly known as tie rods ,, are an essential part of a car's steering system. They literally \"\"tie\"\" the front wheels together so that they will turn together. As such, if a tie rod breaks or becomes disconnected, the driver can lose control of the vehicle, possibly causing an accident. This makes the tie rod a safety item that needs to be checked regularly and replaced if excessively worn. Tie rods are long-life parts, but they do need to be checked periodically for wear, particularly on their ends. The rod itself does not wear out, but the tie rod ends can and do wear out with time. This is normally checked when the suspension and steering of the car is lubricated, as the tie rod ends are a lube point on most vehicles. Worn tie rods must be replaced. If the tie rod ends are allowed to wear excessively, it affects the steering and handling of the vehicle. This may be noticed by the car tending to wander, forcing the driver to make constant steering corrections when going down a straight highway."

"text": "\"Computers & Internet Other - Computers What does \"\"rip a cd\"\" mean and how do I do it? Thanks.1 following 9 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: To 'Rip a CD' means to copy the song tracks as files from a musical Compact Disc and storing them in a library on your computer. The opposite of Ripping a CD is called 'Burning'. Burning is when you have downloaded music files from the internet, such as mp3s and then recording them onto a blank Compact Disc and create your own Audio CD to playback on a CD player device. When Ripping or Burning a CD, you use certain kind of software which allows you to do both of those things. Windows Media Player, ITunes, Real Audio, Music Match, Winamp are all media playing software programs that also support burning and ripping. To Rip a CD allows one to copy the songs off a CD onto their computer, and most software will even allow you to choose the size/quality/format of how you want to save them. The songs on the CD will be in . WAV format, which are aprox. 40-100mb in size and have no 'compression'."

I won’t go too far into the theory of this yet, but I want to make sure you have some basics down first. For this video, we’re going to be in the key of G, which means the G note is our tonic, home base, or root note. We’ll cover three basic chord progressions. The first is the 1 4 5 (or I-IV-V), the second is the 1 5 6 4 (or I-V-vi-IV), and the third is the 2 5 1 (ii-V-I). These numbers refer to the chords in a certain key, so be aware that every major key has seven chords you can choose from that occur naturally in that key. Those chords are represented by the numbers one through seven."

Mandatory Credit: Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports NASCARWhat is a track bar adjustment?by Charles Rahrig V 2 years ago Follow @c_rahrig Tweet Share x Comment What is a track bar adjustment and how does it affect drivers in NASCAR? One of the most interesting parts of NASCAR is the in-race adjustments that occur. It takes more than just driving ability to win a race. It also takes strategy on pit row and having a great crew and crew chief. Drivers also have to be able to make adjustments themselves during the race as well. One of those adjustments that drivers make is with the track bar. A track bar is underneath the rear of the car and by adjusting it, a driver can raise or lower the bar, which adjusts the position of the rear axle in relation to the centerline of the car. Adjustments are made based on track conditions and are constantly changing based on how the driver feels the car is adjusting to the track. By making a track bar adjustment, drivers are also redistributing the weight of the car on the back end and they have to figure that into their strategy as well."

A UPC code is a barcode symbol that manufacturers in the United States and many other countries use to identify their products electronically so that they can be digitally scanned and tracked. UPC means \"\"Universal Product Code.\"\" Each UPC consists of a series of digitally-readable bars plus numbers that people can verify. UPC codes make it easy to ring up products at a grocery store, track inventory, reorder stock that is running low, print receipts that show the products a customer has purchased, make coupons scannable by computers, and so on. Although there are other barcode systems, UPCs are the most commonly-used tracking system in United States, Canada, and many other countries.

"text": "Logic Pros: Using Mac Book Pro’s Touch Bar w/ customizable key command shortcuts Jordan Kahn- Feb. 19th 2017 8:57 am PT@Jordan Kahn2 Comments Facebook Twitter Google Pinterest Linked In Reddit With Logic Pro X 10.3 , Apple introduced support for the new Mac Book Pro’s Touch Bar, the small touchscreen panel that debuted on the device last fall. Logic users might have had to wait longer than Final Cut Pro or even Garage Band users as one of Apple’s main apps that didn’t get support right at launch, but what it did end up getting is some of the best Touch Bar support yet. Let’s take a look. The best 4K & 5K displays for Mac The Touch Bar in Logic works a lot like you might expect if you’ve used it with other Apple apps. It borrows some of the features that first launched in Garage Band and Final Cut Pro, for instance, with an overview of the timeline and some buttons for making quick adjustments of various settings for the selected track. But it also includes fully customizable buttons that can be assigned to keyboard shortcuts!How does it work? A small icon to the left of the Touch Bar gives access to four main functions: Smart Controls Timeline Overview (an overview of the Tracks Area timeline)Key Commands (Customizable banks of keyboard shortcut buttons)Software Instrument/Track Controls (a virtual keyboard, drum kits, or audio track settings, and that small keyboard icon will change accordingly)Smart Controls Like Garage Band, the Touch Bar lets you control Logic’s Smart Controls, a feature that presents users with onscreen controls to quickly adjust various settings for software instruments and effects: These will change depending on what track you have selected, and clicking on one of the Smart Controls lets you drill into make an adjustment right on the Touch Bar itself (as pictured above for Level). So if you had an audio track loaded with some guitar FX or a software instrument like a keyboard or synth, you’d get options that look something like the above based on the instrument and plug-ins loaded. Timeline Overview You’ll get a timeline overview by default that, like Final Cut Pro and other apps, gives an overview of Logic’s Tracks Area allowing you to see all the regions of your tracks even beyond what’s visible on your Mac’s display (a white box around regions on the Touch Bar represents what’s currently visible on your timeline on your Mac). That might be handy for a quick reference of where you are in your timeline if you happen to forget, but otherwise you won’t be able to see much detail vertically along the workspace, especially in a session with a lot of tracks."

That way you can determine whether the vehicle will meet your needs in terms of carrying capacity. Weigh before you pay When purchasing a motorhome, you may not find a place to weigh your motorhome wheel by wheel, as weighing experts recommend. However, you can weigh each axle. Then, you can evaluate the placement of storage areas, liquid tanks, major appliances, slideouts, generator, LP-gas tank, etc. to see whether the distribution of these heavy components could cause problems. If the capacity is not reasonably distributed, you may have difficulty loading the coach within its limits. When buying or weighing a coach, you must have a good knowledge of your personal weight carrying requirements. To help in your calculations, here are the approximate weights (pounds per gallon) of the liquids motorhomes can carry: water — 8.3; gasoline — 6; diesel fuel — 6.6; propane — 4.2.

The axles on most 18 wheeler trailers are adjustable, meaning that they can be slid forwards or backwards to redistribute the weight. All states have max loaded weight ratings usually no more than 80,000lbs. Bridges & over passes may be much lower... Captain_ron · 3 years ago0 0 Comment It can be complicated - in the US: There are one set of rules that are set by the US Federal government and they say that for highways that are federally funded (interstates and some other bigger roads) the minimum weight that states HAVE TO allow is 80,000 lbs. States cannot set the limit on interstates lower than 80,000 lbs, but they can set lower limits on state highways. However, there is a catch.. if a state had a higher weight limit in place before this federal law was passed (Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982 (STAA)) the state can still allow trucks heavier than the 80,000 lbs limit. The state with the highest weight limits by far is Michigan. The highest grossing truck without a permit in Michigan can top out at 151,400 lbs!"

The wheel and axle are primarily used for moving items and for transportation. It vastly reduces the friction between objects by converting it to a rotational motion. Common non-vehicular axles are seen in roller conveyors (with or without covering belts). A door knob is the reverse version of a wheel and axle.

"text": "RV and Vehicle Weight Definitionsby J Rogers 55,359 Views Understanding RV and vehicle weight definitions is a first step in managing safe and effective RV weight and balance. Over the years, there have been strides made in standardizing RV vehicle weight definitions, through the efforts of the Recreational Vehicles Industry Association (RVIA), RV Dealer’s Association (RVDA) and RV Safety Education Foundation (RVSEF). Note that manufacturers of trucks used to tow trailers fall outside of the realm of the RVIA, so you should always check specific manufacturer guides and manuals to understand vehicle weight definitions used. Do the math for your specific RV and tow vehicle, and make sure you know what is included (or not included) in any numbers you get from a manufacturer, private owner, or dealer. The main thing is to account for all weight and weight distribution in selecting and using your RV, tow vehicle and hitch mechanisms. Vehicle Weight and Rating Terminology: Note the difference between “ratings” and “weights/loads”: Ratings cannot be changed – they are maximum allowable limits determined by the manufacturer in the design of the vehicle. Weight and load are generally used interchangeably. In RV applications, vehicles have weight, which imparts loads to tires, axles, and hitches. Scale measurements taken when weighing are loads carried by the tires. These measured loads are used to calculate Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW), Gross Axle Weight (GAW), Gross Combination Weight (GCW), and hitch loads."

"text": "Towing Towing Tips Smoother Towing With MOR/ryde By - October 1, 2010Travel trailers and fifth-wheels offer a lot of livability, and over the years they have been transformed into beautiful homes on wheels. When you look below the frame though, you’ll likely see the suspension your grandfather’s trailer had. The solid axle and leaf spring – sans shock absorber – suspension is still the mainstay of the trailer industry, and it continues to take its toll on trailer components as the body bounces and bangs freely over the highways. In an effort to smooth out some of the jarring on a 32-foot fifth-wheel, we installed MOR/ryde’s RE Suspension system to the existing springs (“A Smoother Ride,” August 2010). The beefy rubber equalizers did a good job of civilizing the fifth-wheel’s ride quality, but our next step was to find out what the company’s ultimate upgrade, the MOR/ryde Independent Suspension System (IS) could do – along with improving braking using the Disc Brake Upgrade Package. Created and patented in 1999, the IS system totally redefines smooth towing. It’s designed to eliminate bouncing, jerking, broken leaf springs and wear and tear on a trailer or fifth-wheel. MOR/ryde utilizes an independent wheel action that replaces the axles and leaf springs (which can break or fail due to worn out hangers and shackle plates) with a rubber shear spring that allows for more than 5 inches of wheel travel (typical axles and leaf-spring systems have only 11?2-2 inches of wheel travel). Most owners will testify that having limited wheel travel translates into an incredibly harsh ride, which is evidenced by disheveled items that were once neatly stored in cabinets, and prematurely worn-out structural components. The system also has a high-quality shock absorber at each wheel, damping the up-and-down movement and road shock."

As you all know, your trailer doesn’t have front wheels, so it can only go places when connected to your tractor. Hence, the name “semi-trailer. ”Semi-trailers are generally about 53 feet long, minus the cab."

Most drivers have a hard time understanding the advantages of different options, and it’s hard to blame them; the technical details could confuse almost anyone. Fortunately, this guide should clarify the issue. Automakers offer plenty of drive options, but you’ve generally got four different configurations to choose from.

"text": "\"This is a story that started a long time ago in a land far away–in Europe, actually. In 1927 Tullio Campagnolo lost a bicycle race in the Dolomite mountains because he couldn’t remove his wheel. He had flatted, but could not get the wheel off to repair the flat. At that time, wheels on racing bikes were secured with big wing nuts, which allowed relatively quick removal of the wheels without tools. That particular day the weather was cold and snowy, and Tullio couldn’t get the wing nuts off due to a combination of ice and hands too cold to work properly. He thought there had to be a better way…Fast forward to 1930, and Tullio patented the quick release, and cyclists the world over rejoiced with their newfound way of easily and quickly removing wheels, even in the cold. The basic design is still in use today. Think about that for a second: the quick release axles on your bike were designed for road racing bikes in the 20’s. Thanks to the technology of modern mountain bikes (fat, grippy, tubeless tires, excellent suspension, stronger components) and modern trails, bikes are being pushed harder and faster over rougher terrain than Tulio probably ever imagined possible. Both forks feature carbon post mounts, with threaded alloy inserts."

"text": "Reader Approved How to Divide a Hosta Growing hostas can be very fulfilling to a gardener, as they are hardy, thrive in the shade, and need little fuss. When these perennials get quite large, they can over-fill their garden space. Fortunately, hostas are also very easy to divide, perfect to share with friends, family, or even sell in plant sales!Steps1 Choose the right time of year. While many gardeners choose spring for time to move and divide plants, it can have a negative effect on the plants, especially in hotter climates. It's preferable to divide hostas in the late summer and early fall, roughly 4 weeks before first frost. Hostas are fairly tough plants, though, and can be divided at any time during the growing season if you carefully replant, water, and mulch the divided clumps. Tamping down the soil around the root ball so that the plant can't be easily dislodged will insure greater success.2 Get the right tools for your soil. Often, if the clumps are large (say about 25cm/10 inches across at the base), you will find it easiest to use a fork with flat blades and a spade or shovel. If the soil is very light and humus-y, and the plants are smaller, a long-bladed knife, preferably with a serrated blade, will work well. A hacksaw is very helpful if the clump is very large."

"text": "\"0 Shares -PHOTO: graibeard/Flickrby Rick Gush February 18, 2009Many debate the effectiveness of root stimulants in transplanting situations. Vast numbers of gardeners and horticulturists enthusiastically choose to use one or more of the “rooting stimulants” available for purchase. Still, university research and cooperative extension literature usually contain statements such as, “There is no apparent benefit from adding vitamin B1, root stimulants, plant tonics or mycorrhizae at planting. ”Root Stimulants The following explains some of the available stimulants. Auxins and Plant Hormones Most root stimulants contain some form of plant hormones–important chemical agents that direct and encourage growth within the plant body. Among rooting stimulants, the most important plant hormones are the class named auxins. Auxins are produced naturally in plants, the most common being indoleacetic acid (IAA), which acts as a growth regulator by promoting cell elongation and altering cell wall plasticity. IAA is also the chemical produced by terminal buds that inhibits growth further down the branch and produces the phenomenon of apical dominance (the main, central stem of the plant is dominant over other side stems). Some synthetic auxins are marketed commercially as weed killers, the best known of which are:2, 4-D (2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid) (contains no dioxin)The defoliant Agent Orange (known carcinogen)These mass doses of auxins cause the plants to produce excess ethylene, which kills the plant by inhibiting cell elongation and causing leaf drop. Because grasses are much less susceptible to auxin overdose, synthetic auxin herbicides often are used to kill broad-leaved weeds in lawns."

One of my garden goals each year is to plant enough onions to satisfy our meals, canned sauces and salsas, and winter storage. Onions can be planted from transplants, sets, or started from seed. Onion transplants are sold in bunches and can be purchased online or at your local garden center. Onions sets are immature bulbs grown the previous year and are easily found at your local garden centers and nurseries in the spring. I remember planting onion sets as a child when my family “put the garden in” every spring. When I started my own garden, I continued the tradition of purchasing scoops of onion sets and pushing them into the ground in spring. Overall, I didn’t have very good success with growing onions from sets. Some were duds that failed to sprout and some ended up bolting before forming large bulbs."

You can cut back the overgrown branches to shape your plant, or you can do what is referred to as rejuvenation pruning to promote new growth and better flowering. First, cut out all the dead stuff. Then cut 1/3 of the branches straight to the ground where you would like fresh growth. Give it some room to breath, keep it watered, then let it do its magic. Theres some confusion online as to WHEN spirea can be pruned to keep its flowers. There are different types and each bloom at a different time, so a good rule of thumb is to prune right after its finished blooming. In the case of these sad shrubs I picked up, I had a feeling it didn’t matter how much I hack off and when."

Easter lilies (Lilium longiflorum), hardy in U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 4 through 8, bloom with distinctive white flowers. The plants grow from bulbs and normally flower in midsummer. Spring-blooming Easter lilies have been \"\"forced\"\" in greenhouses where temperature and light are strictly controlled to bring them into bloom much earlier than normal. Healthy Easter lilies can be transplanted for either large containers or garden culture. With good care, most will rebloom. After Flowering After your potted Easter lily has finished flowering in the spring, cut off the faded blooms and remove any foil wrapping from the plastic nursery pot. Leave the stems and foliage intact. If temperatures outside are still below freezing, place the lily in a sunny windowsill, and water whenever the surface of the soil feels dry."

"text": "When to Plant Carrots Carrots are sown in the early spring to be harvested in the summer. Pinterest Facebook Twitter Email By: Danielle Ernest Related To: Plants Vegetables Carrots are grown as a cool season crop which means the seeds are sown when soil temperatures reach about 50 degrees F in the early spring. This will vary depending on where you live in the country. Purchasing and using a soil thermometer is the best way to ensure what your soil temperature reading is with every year. It is a fairly inexpensive purchase from your local garden center that you will use over and over again throughout your gardening years. Eventually, the planting time annually will be around the same time and it will become clear with this useful tool. Setting a reminder on your calendar or phone will be handy and a great reference tool. Seed germination typically occurs at 55 to 75 degrees F being optimal for this crop. Carrots are most often directly sown into the soil and not transplanted from seedling as it could disrupt the growth of the taproot. Depending on the variety of carrot that is planted, the harvest can occur from as little as 50 days after planting to 100 days."

It is more difficult to grow than its relatives because it does not tolerate the heat or cold as well. If you plant to attempt growing cauliflower in the home garden, it requires consistently cool temperatures with temperatures in the 60s. Otherwise, it may prematurely “button”—form small, button-size heads—rather than forming a single, large, white head. Given that cauliflower enjoys cool temperature, it’s a good autumn crop in many regions. Because of its temperature requirements, however, cauliflower is usually grown commercially and not the best crop for the beginner gardener. Are you up for the challenge? Planting Select a site with at least 6 hours of full sun. Soil needs to be very rich in organic matter; add composted mature to the soil before planting. Fertile soil holds in moisture to prevent heads from “buttoning."

"text": "\"When to divide daylilies In the North, we usually begin dividing daylilies in May and continue through August. Divide daylilies to obtain more plants for your own garden or to share. Most daylilies do not require frequent division, but if you see diminished bloom, division may re-invigorate the plant. We test soil temperatures in the spring and wait to divide until soil temperatures reach 55° F, at which point daylilies begin vigorous growth. Other growers have reported success when digging earlier, but it will depend upon the season and your growing conditions. Another good opportunity to dig and divide a daylily is after the daylily has finished its bloom cycle. It is risky to dig daylilies during extremely hot weather, so if there is a heat wave, wait for cooler temperatures. In most seasons, this would be around mid-August in our Minnesota location, but gardeners in areas farther south would wait until September or so. The conventional wisdom is to divide and re-plant daylilies at least six weeks before the ground freezes. In the North, it is advised to mulch new plants for winter protection in case there is little or no snow cover."

Planting Plant sedum seeds in early spring in well-drained, average to rich soil. ( Learn more about soil amendments and preparing soil for planting . ) Space plants between 6 inches and 2 feet apart, depending on the variety. Low-growing and vigorous species will tolerate partial shade, but most sedum do best in full sun. You can also plant divisions or cuttings instead of seeds.

"text": "How to Divide and Transplant Perennials By: Julie Day Many perennials benefit from division when they become overgrown or crowded. If you grow perennials in your garden, you’ll soon encounter the need to divide and transplant them. Perhaps they’re overgrown, or crowded, or you’d like to spread them around your garden, or share them with a friend. If done correctly, most perennials can be divided quite easily without harming the plant. Here’s how to go about it. When to Divide Perennials The best seasons for dividing and transplanting perennials are spring and fall. Spring is the ideal time to transplant fall-blooming perennials and ornamental grasses, while fall is best for spring blooming perennials. Allow the plants several months to become established before their bloom time, in order not to miss a season of color. They also need at least six weeks of growing time before a hard frost. Some gardeners divide right after what seems like the “peak” year for that particular plant."

"text": "\"What Should I Expect to Pay for Funeral and Burial Expenses February 26, 2016 | by Valerie Michel Buck and Jed Winegar of the NCPCA common goal among many aging seniors and their families is to put money aside for funeral and burial expenses. Most, however, are unsure how much to save and how prepared to be in the event of a death. It is certainly easier for one's family if arrangements through estate planning, funeral pre-planning and funeral trusts are made. We encourage this. Even then, many unforeseen details and expenses can burden the family of the deceased. A common tendency among families in the days and weeks leading up to a death is neglecting to find an affordable funeral provider. Another challenge is finding ways to fund all of the various expenses involved with a funeral and burial. Generally, this is due to emotional stresses and a simple lack of time and preparation. Most often, families will use the same funeral services their relatives have used. Time constraints will force many to overlook important questions like, \"\"are we paying too much for this\"\" or \"\"is this best for the deceased and their survivors? \"\""

There are many causes why Jakarta’s traffic is so jamned everyday. The growth of the number of vehicles exceeds the growth of the number of roads in Jakarta. The growth of the number of vehicles are in numbers 11% compared to 0.01% which is the growth of the number of roads which means more cars more traffic. The government is trying to discourage people from using private vehicles by building new ways of transport like MRT, LRT, new bus services, building flyovers and underpass, and ERP in the protocol roads. Public transports in Jakarta is not suitable in a big city. For instance, public transport analyst Andrinof Chaniago said that the public transport in Jakarta must be in form of bus and trains. But in Jakarta, Jakarta is still served by 16,000 angkots."

S from Jagadguru Jayadeva Murugarajendra Medical College (2019)Answered Jun 4, 2015Cells show very neat division of labour, each cell has various organelles which have their own function to perform. Some of the organelles generally present in a cell are: Mitochondria synthesise the energy currency (ATP), other organelles use this currency to perform their activities. They are also called Power House of The Cell. Ribosomes synthesise proteins (like Insulin), the type of proteins depends on the type of cell. Endoplasmic Reticulum transport these proteins to Golgi bodies in the cell. Golgi bodies pack the proteins into vesicles which are then released from the cell. Cell Membrane gives the cell its structure and shape. It also prevents unwanted intruders from entering the cell. Nucleus, also called Master organelle contains DNA the genetic material which is passed on to next generation. It also controls various activities of cell."

"text": "A transportation coordinator is a broadly defined job role, which can mean many things according to the specific setup and scope of the employing business. Some transportation coordinators will be effective top-level managers of transportation functions within a company or department, where others may be more involved in day-to-day operations. Individual employers, including both private businesses and school districts, or other government employers, hire transportation coordinators to make sure that specific projects related to customer, employee, or public transportation are effective. Some transportation coordinators will be mainly involved in clerical work. These professionals might monitor travel logs of drivers employed by the company, or keep track of vehicle service records. They might oversee changes to an existing transportation structure, such as the addition of shuttles for overflow in a particular business location. Some people in this position might carry the title of dispatcher. Some of these individuals might also be asked to help promote new transportation programs or make sure that changes take place in an efficient manner. Ad In a smaller business, the transportation coordinator may be actively engaged in providing transportation for a target group, whether it’s the public or a specific set of company employees or customers. These professionals might drive large vehicles, service a fleet of business vehicles, or otherwise help to manage the day-to-day logistics for transportation."

Simply put, it's a carrier protein. Interestingly it doesn't carry carbon dioxide in the same way it does for oxygen 2. Oxygen binds to the iron atoms in the protein whereas carbon dioxide 2 is bound to the protein chains of the structure. Carbon dioxide doesn't compete with oxygen in this binding process. However, carbon monoxide is a very aggressive molecule. It's a colourless, odourless, and tasteless gas that is lighter than air and can be fatal to life. It has a greater affinity for hemoglobin than oxygen does. It displaces oxygen and quickly binds, so very little oxygen is transported through the body cells."

The American Presidential directive PDD-63 of May 1998 set up a national program of \"\"Critical Infrastructure Protection\"\". [ 1] In 2014 the NIST Cybersecurity Framework was published after further presidential directives. In Europe, the equivalent European Programme for Critical Infrastructure Protection (EPCIP) refers to the doctrine or specific programs created as a result of the European Commission 's directive EU COM (2006) 786 which designates European critical infrastructure that, in case of fault, incident, or attack, could impact both the country where it is hosted and at least one other European Member State.

[ 1] This recognized certain parts of the national infrastructure as critical to the national and economic security of the United States and the well-being of its citizenry, and required steps to be taken to protect it. This was updated on December 17, 2003, by President Bush through Homeland Security Presidential Directive HSPD-7 for Critical Infrastructure Identification, Prioritization, and Protection. [ 2] The directive describes the United States as having some critical infrastructure that is \"\"so vital to the United States that the incapacity or destruction of such systems and assets would have a debilitating impact on security, national economic security, national public health or safety.\"\" ["

A Local Professional Resource for Out-of-Town Event Planning Share Flip Pin Email•••By Rob Hard Updated June 05, 2017A destination management company, also commonly referred to as a DMC, is a third-party firm that is commonly hired to provide professional services for the planning and implementation of out-of-town event programs and services. The value of a destination management company primarily rests in the company's extensive knowledge of the local area as well as its professional relationships and local resources. A DMC can be of great help to a corporate event and meeting planner who has been charged with coordinating an out-of-town event. Who Hires DMC's? Any event planner may choose to work with a DMC if the event is outside of their local area. The reasons are simple: Only a local planner knows which caterers, transportations services, hotels, and other facilities will provide the best service within the available budget. A local planner understands cultural norms and expectations--and knows when prices are being jacked up or unnecessary extras are being added to a bill. A local planner knows where and how to find the best entertainment, freshest food, most helpful staff, and best travel routes. What a Destination Management Company (DMC) Does A destination management company (DMC) maintains in-depth local knowledge of the area and/or region they represent, specifically with regards to the local coordination and implementation of everything from program and event logistics to event activities."

Travel insurances are packages of insurance coverages and travel assistance services which provide comprehensive travel protection for you and your family before and during your trip. Expected incidents can occur and often do occur before or during your trip that would cause you financial loss. You need to buy travel insurance to protect you against the unexpected. If you have already paid for your trip, full or partial, and you need to cancel the trip or return home early by interrupting the trip, travel insurance provides trip cancellation and trip interruption coverage for the pre-paid and non-refundable portion of your trip for a covered reason. If you get sick or injured while traveling abroad, most domestic health insurance plans provide little or no coverage outside the coverage area. Medicare does not cover outside the United States.

From time to time, I read that booking flights through a travel agent, either online or physical, can lead to cheaper prices. At least for simple trips (one airline, maybe a simple return), I have a hard time believing this to be the case; the airline has most direct control over their tickets, travel agents add a layer of extra indirection that has to be paid for, etc. So am I losing anything by not booking with a travel agent? Am I really likely to get better prices? Edit: I should be clearer - let me restrict the scenario by imagining that I already know what I want - e.g. to get from LHR to ORD on date X/Y/Z, with no stops, ideally on American Airlines.

August 30, 2012 By Jess in Miami: Travel News | 25 Comment s Tweet Flying to the USA requires a certain degree of patience when you land at Miami International airport. The USA immigration laws are some of the strictest in the world. Visas to work here are scarce, and green cards enabling people to live here without restriction are very hard to get. Getting through immigration at Miami airport is not easy, with the officers questioning and detaining many passengers as they pass through the busy gateway into the USA. The new Customs and Immigration hall opened last month, with the promise of shorter lines and quicker processing times. However, the new system has increased wait times and infuriated passengers visiting Miami. The new immigration hall opened behind schedule last month, at a cost of 180 million dollars. With 72 passenger lanes, it is the length of a football field, so surely this should speed up waiting times? According to the airport’s Communications Director, the old immigration hall in Terminal E used to take an hour or more to get through and the new facility should quicken things up. “"

"text": "Expedia is investing billions in data to create personalized ‘travel-graphs’By Derek du Preez March 24, 2014SUMMARY: The online travel industry is going to compete on data in the future, not price0 Comments Like many others within the retail sector, the travel industry has been transformed by consumers having cheap, pervasive access to the internet. Instead of hitting the high-streets and shopping malls to find agents to help book flights, hotels and car rentals, consumers have taken to online alternatives that offer more choice and cheaper alternatives. Up until recently online travel agents have been offering a fairly commoditised service in exchange for discounted services – however, Expedia, the largest of its kind, is looking to change this with huge investments in data analysis to create personalized recommendations for its users. It hopes that this will drive proper brand engagement. Andrew Warner, Expedia’s senior marketing director for EMEA, was speaking recently at a technology marketing conference in London, where he started a session by asking delegates: “What the f*ck is big data?”. A question most of you reading this have asked ourselves a number of times, I’m sure. Expedia has approximately 150 sites that operate in 70 countries around the world, with 50 million visitors a month and 200 mobile app downloads a minute, so this is a company with plenty of data. To give you an idea of how much Expedia is investing to take advantage of this data, last year it spent £500 million in research and development, as well £2 billion on marketing. Warner said:“At our heart we are a technology company, we are a travel retailer that invests heavily in technology to make travelling better for consumers. “What this all means is that we have a lot of data."

Essentially, a cookie is a data file created by a website and stored by your web browser. It's where your preferences are stored (like login details, usernames and passwords) so you don't have to fill these details in every time you visit a specific site. It also means that when you search for something, like flights, your preferences are stored for the next time you visit (destination, dates, number of passengers). There are two main types: session cookies and persistent cookies. The former have a very short shelf life and are designed to store information for the duration of your time searching, but are deleted as soon as you shut down. The latter last a little longer but usually have an expiration date, which could be a few days to a few months in the future, after which they're deleted. Does Skyscanner use cookies to increase flight prices? Skyscanner is only able to show prices passed on to us by the travel agent or airline whose prices we display."

Liberty Travel , for example, which defined the brick-and-mortar travel agency industry until the advent of OTAs in the mid 1990s, opened its 7,000-square-foot Philadelphia Travel Store in December. This month, Liberty is scheduled to launch an even larger “Apple-inspired hyperstore” in downtown Los Angeles.

Whether they will make changes is a different matter. In general, the ticket is deemed to be 'owned' by whoever booked it - generally either the airline itself, or a 3rd party travel agency. That party is the one that has been paid to issue the ticket, and is generally responsible for making any changes at least up until the start of the first flight. So in general, any changes - at least before the start of travel - will need to be made by Expedia. Some airlines do give you the option for them to \"\"take over\"\" the ticket so that they can make changes, however (at least in the US) they will generally charge you for doing this. eg, the United Airlines Contract of Carriage states : UA will assess a 50.00 USD/50.00 CAD fee to assist with a voluntary change on tickets originally issued via any external ticketing source (travel agency, internet agency, other airline, etc.). The fee is non-refundable and applies in addition to all applicable charges. American Airlines call it a \"\" External Reservation Handling Charge \"\", along with a US$25-35 fee."

In 2013, I traveled to 7 countries, living mostly in Air Bn B rentals along the way. When I first starting using Air Bn B, it would take me hours to find the right place. These days, Air Bn B inventory is plentiful in most cities. With some general practices and tools, I can book a stay in less than an hour. I’m going to break down where I’ve found the best values, some of my tips/ tactics for finding a place, and what I think will be the future of Air Bn B. In this article you will also learn: How to negotiate to get up to 50% off the listed price. The difference between an host-owner or an host-agent and why it matters. My shotgun approach that saves hours searching for accommodations. Before I tell you all about how to finding the best rental, I should mention there are instances where I don’t use Air Bn B. There are cities such as Saigon where you can stay in very inexpensive hotels and serviced apartments. These places can vary in quality but generally are a better value based on the fact that there are limited Air Bn B service providers in SE Asia."

The outgoing flight is confirmed and the return is \"\"open\"\". Depending on the type of ticket, the return can be up to a year after departure. You can book the return ticket after departure--subject to availability of course. Sometimes you can even change a confirmed return without penalty. You'll probably have to buy an open return ticket from a real travel agent--I've never seen them for sale through the online sites like Expedia etc."

Travel along the Silk Road today What to look for in a tour operator Companies which operate Silk Road tours For the modern traveller, the Silk Road is a very recent destination. Only since the 1980's has China's Far West been opened up to foreigners (apart from a few writers and scholars during the Mao period), while the Central Asian republics have only been accessible since the breakup of the Soviet Union. Treasures uncovered from the Silk Road include vast deserts, lush green oases, isolated mountain ranges, and hospitable peoples which reward the open-minded traveler who can overlook the arid climate, great distances and basic accommodations and services. While tourist facilities in China's remote provinces of Xinjiang and Gansu have improved tremendously in the last ten years, it is still not always an ideal place to travel in, the more so for Central Asia, now in the throes of economic and political woes brought on by their sudden (and not unanimously-welcomed) independence from Moscow. The excitement, however, of visiting even-now-remote and relatively unknown destinations far outweigh the tribulations. A hardy few have traveled on their own across the region, but you don't have to. There are any number of good, reliable companies which offer trips along many of the ancient tracks.

"text": "\"Have you ever missed a flight because you showed up at the airport too late? If you travel enough, it’s only a matter of time until it happens to you. And when it does, you need to know the rules — both the official and the unofficial ones. Today, I want to look at how the airlines treat you when you miss your flight, and offer some recommendations for getting the best possible outcome. Many airlines offer a “flat tire rule” and let you rebook onto the next flight if you miss yours. Image by Tobias Titz/Getty Images. What Is the Flat Tire Rule? As we know, airlines experience delays and cancellations all the time, but they often try to absolve themselves by pointing out that it was due to factors “out of their control,” such as air traffic control delays (when they’ve scheduled 100 flights to depart within 20 minutes), or when it’s raining somewhere in North America. When this happens, passengers receive nothing, and may not even get compensation for an overnight hotel stay. But mercifully, most airlines have long had quasi-official policies of waiving fare rules and change fees when passengers need to rebook a flight that they missed, presumably due to factors outside their own control."

"text": "\"The Rhetorical Triangle and Three Rhetorical Appeals David Wright, Furman University English Department ( printable version here)Aristotle defined rhetoric as \"\"the ability to see or identify in any given circumstance the available means of persuasion. � Analyzing rhetoric focuses on the \"\"how\"\" and \"\"why\"\" of persuasion rather than what specific things people say or write in order to be persuasive. One way of breaking down the components of a rhetorical strategy is to use the Rhetorical Triangle. This model puts into a generalized framework the interactions among various actors and devices in persuasion. The Three Rhetorical Appeals are the main strategies used to persuade an audience and are also important devices to understand when constructing or deconstructing an argument. Professor David Wright of Furman University has created a short but comprehensive video (shown below) explaining the Rhetorical Triangle and Three Appeals and how to utilize them in analysis. You can also see the video on Youtube. Transcribed notes:1. The Rhetorical Triangle allows you to effectively analyze different texts and arguments for their rhetorical strategies and devices. The model shapes the rhetorical process into manageable and distinct parts through the Rhetorical Triangle and Three Rhetorical Appeals:2."

A thunderstorm was brewing near the temple, and Siliezar was trying to capture lightning crackling dramatically over the ruins. In the first two images, dark clouds loom above the pyramid, but nothing is amiss. However, in the third photo, a powerful beam of light appears to shoot up from the pyramid toward the heavens, and a thunderbolt flashes in the background. Siliezar, who recently shared his photographs with occult investigators, told Earthfiles.com that he and his family didn’t see the light beam in person; it appeared only on camera. “ It was amazing!”"

The shortest path between two points on the surface of a sphere is given by the arc of the great circle passing through the two points. A great circle is defined to be the intersection with a sphere of a plane containing the center of the sphere. Two great circles If the plane does not contain the center of the sphere, its intersection with the sphere is known as a small circle. In more everyday language, if we take an apple, assume it is a sphere, and cut it in half, we slice through a great circle. If we make a mistake, miss the center and hence cut the apple into two unequal parts, we will have sliced through a small circle. Two small circles Spherical Triangles: If we wish to connect three points on a plane using the shortest possible route, we would draw straight lines and hence create a triangle. For a sphere, the shortest distance between two points is a great circle. By analogy, if we wish to connect three points on the surface of a sphere using the shortest possible route, we would draw arcs of great circles and hence create a spherical triangle."

He writes that Euclid collected Eudoxus' theorems, perfected many of Theaetetus', and completed fragmentary works left by others. Euclid is said to have said to the first Ptolemy who inquired if there was a shorter way to learn geometry than the Elements:...there is no royal road to geometry The Elements -- Basic factswritten about 2300 years ago,no copies extant,a few potsherds dating from 225 BC contain notes about some propositions,Many new editions were issued (e.g. Theon of Alexandria, cent.

When vertices are broken down into Primitives during Primitive Assembly, the order of the vertices relative to the others in the primitive is noted. The order of the vertices in a triangle, when combined with their visual orientation, can be used to determine whether the triangle is being seen from the \"\"front\"\" or the \"\"back\"\" side.

"text": "\"Spiritual Triangles To most people, triangles are simply three-sided symbols or objects that are found in a variety of every day applications, such as mathematics, engineering or surveying. However, to occultists and others familiar with the occult arts, triangles have a deeper, spiritual meaning. To the occult, triangles represent a merging of the spiritual and earthly realms and are considered symbolic or “spiritual triangles”. More specifically, spiritual triangles represent triune gods (or god of three) as well as identify geographical spiritual gateways (geographic areas of demonic activity and influence on earth) found on such things as maps or plats. Even truncated triangles and truncated triangular shapes, such as a pyramid, have spiritual meaning to the occult. Ancient Symbolism of Triangles In antiquity, \"\"… triangles were conceived by the ancients to explain the secret order of the cosmos”. [ 1] Pagans believed that triangles symbolically revealed that three spirits were brought down into the geographical or the worldly realm. For example, Baal-Shalisha, a pagan god of three, [2] is mentioned in the Bible in 2 Kings 4:42. In other words, “a god of three” or triune god would be a composite of three different deities. The worship of triune gods was prevalent throughout ancient civilizations with the names of the triune varying from region to region."

The postulates (or axioms) are the assumptions used to define what we now call Euclidean geometry. [ 1]The five axioms for Euclidean geometry are: Any two points can be joined by a straight line. ( This line is unique given that the points are distinct)Any straight line segment can be extended indefinitely in a straight line. Given any straight line segment, a circle can be drawn having the segment as radius and one endpoint as center. All right angles are congruent.

"text": "Medieval Theories of Demonstration First published Fri Aug 12, 2005In the Middle Ages, the theory of demonstration, developing the theory found in Aristotle's Posterior Analytics, was considered the culmination of logic, bringing all the other parts of the discipline to bear on the task of developing scientific knowledge. Elaborated largely in commentaries and discussions of the Posterior Analytics itself, but also sometimes in independent opuscula on specific problems, this body of philosophical literature corresponds to modern Philosophy of Science. In particular, the problems how we come to know causal laws, how scientific knowledge differs from other sorts of cognition, how mathematical knowledge differs from other sorts of scientific knowledge, and why mathematical knowledge is more certain, are explored in this literature. Although the discussion followed Aristotle's views closely, each interpreter read his views in a way that would square them with his own metaphysical system, so that the most important Aristotelian writers of the thirteenth century, Albert the Great, Thomas Aquinas, and Giles of Rome, revised the initial, Augustinian, reading of Robert Grosseteste's commentary. Aristotle himself was obscure on a number of points, and so radical Aristotelian authors fell into disputes among themselves over the exact character of the “highest sort of demonstration” ( demonstratio potissima ), and the nature of the scientific knowledge resulting from it. These disputes were rooted in part in earlier disputes among the Arabic commentators, as reported in Averroes's commentaries. Ockham and his followers developed yet another reading of the science of demonstration to fit their nominalist metaphysics in the fourteenth century, and in the later Middle Ages their views and those of Aquinas dominated the scene. In later Terminist commentaries, such as that of Antony Coronel in 1510, it is assumed that scientific knowledge is a natural form caused in the mind by knowledge of the premisses of a demonstration, and it is treated as a subject of puzzles concerning beginning and ceasing, and the like, typical of the sophismata discussed in that school. In the sixteenth century other controversies moved to the fore, over the application of the “Science of Demonstration” to mathematics, and concerning the manner of discovery of a demonstration through “analysis and synthesis.” In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, with the new Platonisms, the anti-Aristotelian bias of the new science, and developing empiricism, the theory of demonstration came to be ignored in mainstream philosophy, although it persists as an element of Thomism.1."

"text": "\"The truss rod is part of a guitar or other fretted, stringed-instruments that stabilizes the lengthwise forward curvature (also called relief ), of the neck. Usually it is a steel bar or rod that runs inside the neck, beneath the fingerboard. Some are non-adjustable, but most modern truss rods have a nut at one or both ends that adjusts its tension. The first truss rod patent was applied for by Thaddeus Mc Hugh, an employee of the Gibson company, in 1921, [1] though the idea of a \"\"truss rod\"\" appears in patents as early as 1908. [ 2]Contents [ hide ]1 Application2 Construction and action3 Location and adjustment4 Dual action truss rod5 See also6 References Application [ edit]Cross-section of an electric guitar neck showing the position of the truss rod A guitar neck made of wood is prone to bending due mainly to atmospheric changes, and the pull created by changing to a different gauge of guitar strings. A truss rod keeps the neck straight by countering the pull of the strings and natural tendencies in the wood. When the truss rod is loosened, the neck bends slightly in response to the tension of the strings. Similarly, when tightened the truss rod straightens the neck by resisting string tension. Guitar technicians usually adjust a guitar neck to have a slight relief (forward bend) to achieve reasonably low action in high fretboard positions, while letting strings ring clearly in low positions. A lower action in the high fret positions also facilitates more accurate intonation with less compensation at the bridge."

"text": "5 Easy Steps to Lower an Acoustic Guitar’s Action Action on a guitar is often described by most guitarist as its “playability”. Technically speaking, the action of a guitar is the distance between the string and the frets. If it’s too high, you need to lower an acoustic guitar’s action. The lower the action (e.g. the closer the string to the fret), the easier to play. Here’s how to do it. I’ve had to lower the action on some of my guitars many times and it’s really quite an easy process. It has happened most often with beginner guitars whose action is just a bit too high for comfort. Hopefully my experience can help you out as you consider to lower an acoustic guitar’s action. What NOT to Do First of all, I want to start with a quick note about what not to do when you lower an acoustic guitar’s action. Don’t mess with the truss rod It used to be when I first started playing guitar a couple decades ago that adjusting the truss rod was a smart move."

Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 1:41Factory settings One of the main reasons why your newly delivered acoustic guitar requires the string action lowering is because most mass produced acoustic guitars are manufactured in the Far East. The temperature ranges upon transport can cause quite a bit of distortion within the guitars wooden body, thus when you receive your mail order guitar the chances are the neck will still be as per the factory setting and almost flat to compensate for the strings tension. The truss rod and the nut are not covered in this advice, reason being; standard factory string height settings are usually as follows;E6 – 2.38mm (6/64 in) A5 – 2.28mm (5.75/64 in) D4 – 2.18mm (5.5/64 in) G3 – 2.08mm (5.25/64/in) B2 – 2.03mm (5.15/64in) E1 – 1.98mm (5/64in)The truss rod should not be used to adjust the string action, its job is to straighten the neck and compensate for the upward pull of the strings. If the action is too high at the nut, it is the nut that needs adjustment. If the action is too high in the middle and upper positions, it is usually the saddle that needs to be lowered, this is what we are going to cover in the following easy steps on lowering acoustic guitar action. It will save you quite abit of money, for those in the U. K. lower your utility bills here, The Utility Warehouse works for me. Measuring the string height The guitar in the photos had string height of 4mm at the 14 th fret on the E 6 st string, this needed to be reduced down to as close as possible to 2,38mm, if you find that you can not remove enough material then it is possible you might require a new saddle, but 3mm is getting close, very nice and easy to play. Tools required Very simple tooling; long nosed pliers, tape measure or ruler, pencil, and sandpaper. The chosen sand paper grit is P120 as it smooths off pretty quickly as soon as you start sanding the underside of the saddle."

"text": "The Stratocaster as it appeared in Fender’s 1970 catalog Sixteen had seldom been sweeter. More than a decade and a half since its 1954 introduction, the Stratocaster had finally won widespread popularity by the time 1969 turned to 1970. Fender’s second electric guitar model patiently bided its time through ’50s rock ‘n’ roll, early ’60s surf and instrumental rock, and the British Invasion, enjoying some notable moments but never really taking off as its creators had hoped it would. It did eventually happen, but it sure took a long time. The Stratocaster finally achieved top-tier status in the late 1960s, largely thanks to the meteoric ascent of Jimi Hendrix, whose preference for the instrument led legions of established and up-and-coming guitarists to finally “discover” the Stratocaster. They would make it an essential and ubiquitous voice of the following decade. And just what was that next decade going to sound like? Looking ahead from the 1960s, the musical character of the 1970s was anyone’s guess, just as the character of the ’60s couldn’t possibly have been fully envisioned by anyone in the ’50s. Things were certainly going to be different though, as evidenced by 1970 itself, which saw the acrimonious dissolution of the Beatles and the death of Hendrix. The two biggest surviving veterans of the ’60s-dominating British Invasion, the Rolling Stones and the Who, spent the turn of the decade morphing from theater-playing singles acts to jet set arena-packing album artists."

"text": "\"Tips & Tricks: Best Way to Truss a Chicken A perfectly roasted chicken is the key to weeknight dinner glory: crispy skin, juicy meat, a beautiful golden-brown color. And while roasting chicken is simple in theory, pitfalls do arise. Sections of the skin get soggy and fail to brown, for instance. The breast often cooks faster than the legs so that by the time the dark meat is cooked through, the white stuff’s all dry. We don’t want this to happen to you, which is why we’re sharing this new approach to trussing your bird. As you may know, “trussing” a chicken means tying it with butcher’s twine. Cooks have done this for years to make the bird easier to handle and to help it cook better. But as we’ll show you, the traditional technique for trussing isn’t necessarily the best way. Give this new technique a go tonight, and we reckon you’ll wind up pretty dang pleased at the way dinner turns out. ( PSST: It works for turkey too! )"

"text": "\"First, let's talk a bit about how truss rods work. Truss rods are devices installed in the neck to help stabilize and control the straightness of the neck along its length. Before the use of steel strings on guitars, there was no need for truss rods because the gut strings did not exert enough tension to cause the neck to bend or deform. With the advent of steel strings as standard equipment on guitars and the interest in making slim, more playable necks, it became necessary to install devices to support the neck against the increased string tension. The simplest and most obvious truss rod is a steel or other stiff structural support inlaid or laminated in the original construction of the neck. Here's a view of the end of a Martin guitar neck, showing a nonadjustable steel truss rod: This steel truss rod has a strong \"\"T\"\" cross section, and along with a substantial mahogany neck, it provides plenty of resistance to bending. A thinner neck is more flexible and will need more support than this kind of rod can provide. A really big steel rod could be used, but it would be so massive that it would actually change the balance and feel of the guitar. An adjustable rod can give much more support without adding extra mass. There are basically two types of adjustable rods: compression and bending rods."

His musicianship continues to inspire guitarists around the world, even though officially his recorded work only exists on five albums. He cut his teeth in the 1970s L. A. music scene with the band Quiet Riot, but it was his recruitment by Ozzy Osbourne that ushered him into the worldwide spotlight before his death in a plane crash in 1982. As Randy dazzled the guitar community with his playing, many guitarists remained curious about the tools of his trade. Randy’s main guitar was a Gibson Les Paul Custom, which was flanked by two unique V-shaped guitars. While much has been written about these guitars, most observations have simply scratched the surface. With the help of luthiers Karl Sandoval and Grover Jackson, we revisit these very special guitars of Randy Rhoads. Randy Rhoads began his performing career playing a cream-colored Gibson Les Paul Custom. His Quiet Riot bandmates had acquired it collectively for Randy’s sole use in the late seventies. Initially, Randy thought it was made in 1963, but would later discover it was actually made in 1972."

This is caused by using too strong of a capo for the strings that you have. If you’re playing an electric or nylon string guitar, then many popular capos which are built for steel string acoustic guitars will have this effect. If this is the case, consider using heavier gauge strings, or using an elastic or screw-type capo. [ EDIT] I am assuming that your guitar is otherwise well set up and in good condition.

For purposes of analysis, trusses are assumed to be pin jointed where the straight components meet. This assumption means that members of the truss (chords, verticals and diagonals) will act only in tension or compression. A more complex analysis is required where rigid joints impose significant bending loads upon the elements, as in a Vierendeel truss. In the bridge illustrated in the infobox at the top, vertical members are in tension, lower horizontal members in tension, shear, and bending, outer diagonal and top members are in compression, while the inner diagonals are in tension."

A dominant bird that chases away rival small birds at the feeders, both the male and female Tufted Titmouse look alike with gray upper body and lighter gray or white belly and breasts. The flanks or sides of the Tufted Titmouses body are rust or chestnut-colored. Both sexes have a small crest of gray feathers sticking up their head – a distinctive characteristic of the Tufted Titmouse. Their forehead is black and the area around their eyes is light gray. The black ring surrounding their eyes makes their eyes look somewhat large for tiny birds like them. The Tufted Titmouse has a short but very powerful black bill that it uses to crack open seeds and snail shells. The Tufted Titmouse is commonly found over most of Northern America and some parts of southern Canada where deciduous and mixed woodland can be found. The Tufted Titmouse Nesting Preferences Although the Tufted Titmouse likes to build its nests in swampy and moist deciduous forests, a lot of them have grown accustomed to people and will live in parks and yards in suburban areas. A cavity nester, the Titmouse builds its nest in tree holes using a variety of materials that include dead leaves, moss, bark strips, grass, hair, fur, feathers, string, cloth, and snakeskin."

"text": "\"Pollinators and Birds | Native Flora | Plant Choices Cutleaf Staghorn Sumac By Robert Newgarden | December 1, 1997Drought tolerant, pest resistant, and wildlife friendly, cutleaf staghorn sumac ( Rhustyphina 'Laciniata') deserves to be more popular. This native plant can grow as either a large shrub or small tree, and it has long, fernlike leaves that turn a variety of gorgeous colors in autumn. The real challenge of this plant is its size and growth habit. Rhus typhina can grow over 20 feet high but is more a gigantic shrub than a tree. It spreads laterally by vigorous suckering, forming dense multi-stemmed thickets. It is an impressive plant to build a garden around, but never try to garden under it. Rhus typhina 'Laciniata'The cultivar 'Laciniata' is an unusual cutleaf form of Rhus typhina, the staghorn sumac, which was selected from the wild population and propagated for garden use. ' Laciniata' resembles the wild form in all parts except its leaves which, like all leaves in this species, are pinnately compound—that is, leaflets are arranged in pairs along a central stalk. However, unlike ordinary Rhus typhina, 'Laciniata' leaflets are finely \"\"cut,\"\" giving a textured, feathery look. The common name staghorn sumac refers to the antler-like curve of the stems as well as the reddish-brown velvety fuzz covering the younger (upper) stems."

Try these solutions and alternative exercises to give your tendons a rest. About six months ago I began suffering from severe bicep tendinitis in both arms. Many people will relate to bicep tendinitis of the upper bicep location where the tendon and muscle attach to the shoulder. Mine however, was in the distal bicep tendon (lower bicep right in the elbow crease) and the brachioradialis area tendon that runs from the lower bicep through the forearm (extensors). After months of research and finally visiting a highly specialized sports doctor, namely Ty Affleck from Santa Rosa Sports Medicine, I was told by Dr. Affleck that cortisone shots were out of the question due to the fact that they actually weaken the tendons and increase the risk of tearing completely. My prescription was simple: Eccentric curls with light weight – 2 sets of 20 daily Dixie cup ice massage – Once per day minimum, up to 3 times a day Bicep tendonitis & brachioradialis/forearm tendinitis Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available.

"text": "Tennessee Mountains > The Upper Cumberland Plateau The Upper Cumberland Plateau The Cumberland Plateau is the name given to the southern part of the Appalachian Plateau that extends from the western border of New York through Tennessee into central Alabama. The Cumberland Plateau contains about 4,300 acres in the swath that is about 55 miles wide on the northern border of Tennessee near the Virginia/Kentucky line and less than 40 miles wide at the state's southern border near Chattanooga. It is a 2,000-foot high, sandstone-capped tableland bordered on the east by the Valley of East Tennessee, and on the west by the Eastern Highland Rim. Much of the plateau is flat, although there are some rolling hills, a few higher mountains, and numerous deep gorges. Prominent escarpments with an average height of 900 feet mark both sides. The general plateau elevation is approximately 1,700 to 1,900 feet, but a few of the mountains have elevations over 3,000 feet. There is considerable difference between the escarpments on each side. The eastern escarpment is abrupt, smooth to slightly curving, and only occasionally notched by drainage that empties into the Tennessee River. It is a line of bluffs that served for many years as a barrier to westward migration. When James Robertson led the first settlers into the Great Valley in 1776, they were halted by this gigantic wall, which had no apparent gaps or openings."

"text": "Seeing Eye to Eye with Birds Hand feeding wild birds Your backyard birds can be landing on your shoulder and taking food from your hand this winter. With a little encouragement, some birds will accept you as a natural part of their environment—perhaps even as a friend. It's not difficult to win the trust of the guests at your feeders. Here's how to do it. Begin by filling your feeders at the same time every day, preferably in the early morning, when birds actively seek food. Include a few chopped walnuts or pecans, which many birds relish, where the birds can get at them immediately. Certain birds will catch on and show up soon after you visit the feeder. On a cold morning, stand or sit quietly for a few minutes about 10 to 15 feet away from the feeder after you put out the food. It's OK to talk, and in fact the birds will learn to associate your voice with food, but avoid sudden movements. After a bit of scolding and a few false starts, a bird will come to the feeder."

Harvest your gourds when mature, leaving a few inches of stem intact. Wash them in a warm vinegar water, rinse well and dry thoroughly in a warm dark place. Darkness is not absolutely essential but will help keep colors bright. Choose dry gourds that have hard, firm shells. The gourd size will govern the kind of bird that will be attracted. The ball of the gourd should be large enough for a bird to turn around easily. Many birds delight in the long deep cavity offered by some gourd shapes.

"text": "Owls of New York<< Back to New York Wildlife < Birds About Owls Owls are members of the Strigiformes, an order of birds of prey (like Hawks and Eagles). All owls are characterized by their large forward-facing eyes, hawk-like beak, flat face and circle of feathers around the face (called a facial disc). It is theorized that this disc helps to funnel sound waves towards the owls’ ears, so they can locate prey. Although the featured colors and patterns of different species can vary quite a bit, all owl feather patterns are adapted for exceptional camouflage when roosting and hunting. Many species have patterns that perfectly mimic the bark of preferred trees. The sizes and shapes of owls vary quite a bit. Large owls such as the Great Horned or Snowy Owls can reach lengths of 2 feet and have wingspans reaching 4 feet across. Smaller owls, such as the Northern Saw-whet, are as small as 7 inches with 17 inch wingspans. The Elf Owl, found in the southwest US and Mexico, is a mere 5 inches with 15 inch wingspans. Owls are primarily solitary nocturnal hunters."

The black-crested titmouse, found from central and southern Texas southwards, was included as a subspecies but is now considered a separate species B. atricristatus. These birds have grey upperparts and white underparts with a white face, a grey crest, a dark forehead and a short stout bill; they have rufous -coloured flanks. The song is usually described as a whistled peter-peter-peter. They make a variety of different sounds, most having a similar tone quality. The habitat is deciduous and mixed woods as well as gardens, parks and shrubland in the eastern United States; they barely range into southeastern Canada in the Great Lakes region. [ 2] They are all-year residents in the area effectively circumscribed by the Great Plains, the Great Lakes, the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean. The range is expanding northwards, possibly due to increased availability of winter food at bird feeders. The birds are nowadays resident all year even in rural Ohio where there are few bird feeders, while it was noted around 1905 that many birds from these areas migrated south in winter. [ 3] [4]They forage actively on branches, sometimes on the ground, mainly eating insects, especially caterpillars, but also seeds, nuts and berries."

But other backyard birds are exceedingly shy, and give us only a fleeting glimpse. That may be all that is needed in identifying them, if the bird has any distinguishing peculiarity. One can in time come to know what family the bird belongs to, if you have any sort of fleeting glance of it. Size, form and manner of flight tell a great deal- even before we can distinguish color.

Consumer Reports News: April 08, 2013 09:08 AMFind Ratings Televisions Most of us enjoy getting extra content on our living room TVs, but not everyone has a set with that built-in capability. One popular way to add this feature is through a streaming media player, such as a Roku 3 or Apple TV. But there's another, less obtrusive option: a small flash-drive-sized stick that fits into a special HDMI input on the back or side of your TV. Probably the best known of these devices is the Roku Streaming Stick, a small, purple streaming-media player that delivers all the Roku features we've come to like. The pint-sized player, which costs $100, slips into an MHL (Mobile High-definition Link) slot on the TV, which looks like a standard HDMI input. The Roku Streaming Stick, which supports 1080p video and multi-channel sound, has built-in Wi-Fi and doesn't require a power cord, so there's nothing else to attach. You can even control it using the TV remote control, though it does come with its own gesture-based remote, which is useful for playing games. Need a new TV?

Now, the competition is hotter than ever. We compared the Roku stick, Fire TV stick, and the latest version of the Chromecast to find out which one belongs in your living room. The Contenders Streaming dongles are appealing because they’re cheap, take up virtually no space on your entertainment unit, and, in some cases, allow you to cast videos from your phone or tablet to your TV. Here are the sticks we’ve chosen to look at: Chromecast ($35): The original streaming stick, Google’s Chromecast, uses your phone or tablet as the interface and remote, instead of a menu on the TV. It does, however, support a wide array of apps and services directly from your phone. Roku Streaming Stick ($50): Roku’s stick comes with a remote and a TV interface, so it works a lot more like its set-top counterpart. You can’t cast from as many apps natively as you can with a Chromecast, but Roku makes up for this with its remote app for your phone. Amazon Fire TV Stick ($40): Like the Roku, the Fire TV Stick uses a physical remote and a TV menu interface. Amazon also has a remote app, but it’s not as fully featured as the Roku."

That extra memory should make the Fire TV Stick cruise faster than its competitors. The built-in storage might not mean much—these are built for streaming more than storing—were it not for Amazon's ASAP service, which automatically downloads stuff Amazon predicts you're likely to watch so that you don't have to wait for the content to buffer.

Janko Roettgers Nov 26, 2014 - 10:02 AM CDT43 Comments Credit: Janko Roettgers / Gigaom Tweet Share Post Are you still looking for a gift for the TV fan in your life? Or maybe you are looking to upgrade one of your own TVs to finally watch online video in the downstairs den? The streaming sticks that bring Netflix, You Tube and other apps to any TV are a great option, especially if you’re looking for a gift that doesn’t break the bank. But with everyone and their mother making their own TV stick, you might ask yourself: Which one should I buy? Look no further. This ultimate guide to streaming sticks looks at the video services you can watch with different sticks as well as the hardware each dongle packs — all to find the right stick for your needs. Overview: What’s in a stick The streaming stick craze started when Google unveiled its Chromecast dongle last summer. Since then, it seems like everyone has been working on a stick, including big companies like Microsoft and Walmart as well startups like Matchstick that target the open source community. However, some of these products aren’t quite ready yet, while others really just try to solve niche problems."

By Spencer Hart 6 May 2015Streaming media from the internet is fast becoming a primary method of watching TV and films - and with quality shows like House of Cards and Outlander, people want to enjoy these on the largest screen in their house. A lot of new smart televisions have streaming apps built in, but if your TV doesn't have this option, there are plenty of devices which aim to help. Digital Spy has collected the best in this streaming device shootout, which pits Apple, Amazon, Google and Roku against each other to decide which should earn pride of place in your living room. © Digital Spy Advertisement - Continue Reading Below We'll start by dividing the devices into two groups - first we have the larger, more powerful streaming boxes, and secondly we'll take a look at small, inexpensive streaming sticks. Part 1: Streaming boxes Design If your streaming device is going to be on display in your living room, the way it looks is quite important. Judging this is difficult however, mainly because they're all black boxes (apart from Now TV, which is a white box). The Amazon Fire TV and Apple TV are both square, with glossy black sides, a matte black top and feature their respective logos."

We’ve gone through hundreds and hundreds of models to estimate the value they offer for the price. We’ve also looked at their sales figures and the owner feedback they’ve garnered over time. Out of all the products we have considered during our research, the Roku 3 is the best as it is perfectly compatible with Android and i OS mobile operating systems and can be customized depending on your needs. The channel collection brought by the Roku 3 is next to incredible, and the neat thing about it is that it takes little to no time to install the device given that it works with all TVs equipped with an HDMI connection. Additionally, there’s a high chance you’ll appreciate the motion control offered by the device as it will allow you to do some serious gaming. If the Roku 3 is unavailable, you could also consider the Amazon Fire TV Stick with Alexa, as we have found it to be the second best option available for sale nowadays.

It constantly hangs when trying to turn it on and when trying to stream on demand shows on Sling. I can connect the same TV to my laptop with an HDMI cable and can watch on demand shows without any problems. Sometimes while watching streaming shows that are not on demand the TV will suddenly freeze up and the screen goes red like it does when starting up. You can't connect an internet cable to this TV to increase the internet speed. I turn off all other devices using my internet except a video doorbell and still can't watch on demand. It buffers and will never play, My Internet with a cable is 40 Mbps and around 12 Mbps using wireless. I have another TV with a Roku 3 that works fine so there is something wrong with the TV. I have set my Sling settings to the lowest quality resolution and still doesn't stream on demand. Another really annoying thing about this TV is a light on the front that stays on."

Bottom Line Amazon's Fire TV Stick is faster and less expensive than ever, and comes with an Alexa-enabled voice remote out of the box, making it the best budget-friendly media streamer you can buy. Amazon launched the Fire TV Stick three years ago, offering a microphone-equipped remote as an optional accessory or as part of a premium $60 bundle. Its latest media streamer —and its only one available in \"\"stick\"\" form — comes with a remote out of the box that gives you access to voice search and Amazon's Alexa voice assistant. It also features an upgraded quad-core processor, and perhaps most impressive of all is available for just $39.99.

Amazon says that the Fire TV Stick is its fastest selling device ever, and it’s easy to understand why. At $40, the dongle costs just $5 more than a Chromecast, but is $10 less than Roku’s streaming stick. Yet, beneath its tiny pack-of-gum sized housing, it packs specs that make some 10-year old laptop computers look like a Speak & Spell in comparison. Ain’t technology awesome? Amazon’s Fire TV serves up a string of benefits for those who invest in its closed-off universe. Indeed, the Amazon Fire TV Stick is awesome. That this dongle can stream movies and TV shows from the most popular streaming services on the Internet to your TV in 1080p HD resolution with Dolby Digital sound is impressive enough, but Amazon’s Fire TV products boast the added bonus of appealing to casual gamers with a growing selection of mobile-style games, making them something of a double-threat to smart TVs, smart Blu-ray players, and even competing streaming platforms such as Roku and Google’s own Android TV. With such great features and specs at such a low price, is there any real reason not to get one?"

When channels offer TV Everywhere programming, Roku boxes provide a way to enjoy that on-demand content. By Troy Dreier Posted on December 16, 2013Page 1Don't call Roku a cord-cutting tool. At the recent Streaming Media West conference in sunny Huntington Beach, California, Roku general manager Steve Shannon sat down for a red carpet interview to talk about Roku and pay TV subscriptions. Contrary to what people might expect, Shannon said, Roku reduces subscriber drop off. \"\" We’ll get painted with a cord cutter brush regularly, but the reality is that, I believe, when you put a Roku box next to a cable box that cable subscriber is less likely to churn,\"\" Shannon said. \"\" That’s not what people expect about us, but the reason is because of TV Everywhere. For example, if they start using HBO Go on Roku, it’s by far the best way to watch HBO. \"\" Pay TV customers unhappy with their monthly bills often say they'd prefer an a la carte system where they can pick the channels they want, rather than large bundles. Shannon doesn't see that happening, but he does see broadcasters starting to develop targeted digital content bundles. \"\""

"text": "What is Miracast and Why Should I Care?by Chris Hoffman on November 6th, 2014Miracast is a wireless display standard designed for mirroring a smartphone, tablet, or PC’s screen to a television without requiring any physical HDMI cables. It’s becoming more widespread with each passing day. The Roku 3 and Roku Streaming Stick recently gained support for Miracast. Amazon’s Fire TV and Fire TV stick also do Miracast. Microsoft it even selling two Miracast dongles of its own, for some reason. Miracast is Like a Wireless HDMI Cable RELATED: Wireless Display Standards Explained: Air Play, Miracast, Wi Di, Chromecast, and DLNAMiracast is a standard that hopes to one day banish the need for HDMI cables. Rather than physically connecting your laptop, smartphone, or tablet to a TV like you would with an HDMI cable, Miracast provides a wireless standard that allows devices to discover each other, connect to each other, and mirror the contents of their screen wirelessly. Unlike protocols like Apple’s Air Play (on the Apple TV) and Google’s Chromecast (on the Chromecast and Android TV devices), Miracast is designed to be a cross-platform standard. Check out our comparison of Air Play, Miracast, Wi Di, Chromecast, and DLNA to understand the differences between all these different protocols. Miracast functions exclusively as a “screen mirroring” protocol."

Looking for a definition of TVP? Textured vegetable protein, or TVP for short, is a high-fiber, high-protein meat substitute made from soy flour and available in a variety of flavored and unflavored varieties, as well as different sizes—from large chunks to small flakes. Because it is cheap and widely available, it is popular amongst many people cooking on a budget, in vegetarian cooking and is used in many vegan recipes. TVP is virtually interchangeable with TSP, which stands for textured soy protein, and is sometimes also called soy meat, or in the UK, soya chunks. TVP can be found in the bulk foods section of many natural foods stores, such as Whole Foods and community co-ops. Cooking With TVPBecause it is a dehydrated product, TVP needs to be reconstituted in hot water for about 10 minutes or more in the cooking process before being eaten. Most recipes will include this step. It's quick cooking, and can add a great source of cheap and low-fat protein to many dishes. Since TVP has a similar texture to ground meat when cooked, it works well in dishes such as vegetarian casseroles, pasta sauces, vegetarian soups, and chili."

"text": "Vegetarian meat is food made from soy or wheat products used to replicate the taste and texture of actual meat. The most commonly known vegetarian meat product is a vegetarian, or veggie, burger made from textured vegetable protein ( TVP ), a cholesterol-free meat substitute. TVP is typically made by extracting oil from soy flour to create flakes that when re-constituted with water, can be used in any recipe calling for hamburger or ground meat. TVP is high in protein and fiber and often has a tenth of the fat found in ground beef. Another form of vegetarian meat is called seitan, or wheat gluten. Seitan is made from a process of removing starch from wheat flour, resulting in a chewy meat-like texture. Like tofu or TVP, it absorbs any flavor or marinade and can be shaped into patties, ribs, or even a roast. Vegetarians who want to have a traditional American Thanksgiving may substitute turkey with a vegetarian meat product, such as a seitan roast flavored with mushroom broth for an extra meaty flavor. Ad There are several reasons vegetarians choose to not eat meat and sometimes dairy products as well. One is if a person has special dietary needs and must watch fat and cholesterol intake."

"text": "\"For the airport with IATA code IEG, see Zielona Góra Airport. Immediate early genes ( IEGs) are genes which are activated transiently and rapidly in response to a wide variety of cellular stimuli. They represent a standing response mechanism that is activated at the transcription level in the first round of response to stimuli, before any new proteins are synthesized. Thus IEGs are distinct from \"\"late response\"\" genes, which can only be activated later, following the synthesis of early response gene products. Thus IEGs have been called the \"\"gateway to the genomic response\"\". The term can describe viral regulatory proteins that are synthesized following viral infection of a host cell, or cellular proteins that are made immediately following stimulation of a resting cell by extracellular signals. About 40 cellular IEGs have been identified so far. The earliest known and best characterized include c-fos, c-myc and c-jun, genes that were found to be homologous to retroviral oncogenes. Thus IEGs are well known as early regulators of cell growth and differentiation signals. However, other findings suggest roles for IEGs in many other cellular processes."

The items that your child is allergic to are called allergens. A soy allergy is an abnormal response of the body to the proteins found in soy. Soybeans are classified as a legume. Other foods in the legume family are navy, kidney, string, black, and pinto beans, chickpeas (garbanzo beans), lentils, carob, licorice, and peanuts. Sensitivity to peanuts is the most common, but soybean sensitivity is also prevalent. Sensitivity to one legume can often be in association with sensitivity to another legume. Foods Allowed Not allowed Breads & starches Breads, baked goods, cereals not containing soy ingredients Potato chips or popcorn cooked in soy oil ( Note: Most soy oil does not contain soy protein, which causes soy allergy, because the soy protein is removed during processing. Thus, soy oil generally does not cause allergy symptoms. However, those with soy allergies should check with their doctor about consuming products containing soy oil or processed with soy oil. )"

A GMO, or genetically modified organism, is a plant, animal, microorganism or other organism whose genetic makeup has been modified in a laboratory using genetic engineering or transgenic technology. This creates combinations of plant, animal, bacterial and virus genes that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods. Genetic modification affects many of the products we consume on a daily basis. As the number of GMOs available for commercial use grows every year, the Non-GMO Project works diligently to provide the most accurate, up-to-date standards for non-GMO verification. In order for a product to be Non-GMO Project Verified, its inputs must be evaluated for compliance with our standard, which categorizes inputs into three risk levels: Risk Level Definition Examples High-Risk The input is derived from, contains derivatives of, or is produced through a process involving organisms that are known to be genetically modified and commercially available.

Lentils, Spinach, Tomatoes, Sesame seeds, Avocados Non-Risk The input is not derived from biological organisms and not, therefore, susceptible to genetic modification. Monitored Risk The Non-GMO Project carefully monitors the development of new genetically engineered products; we are currently tracking close to 100 products.

"text": "What is TVP and How to Use It + Best Vegan Recipes with Textured Vegetable Protein April 25, 2017 By Bianca 16 Comments Pin 2.7K Share 62 Tweet Reddit Stumble2.8KIn this guide about TVP, I’m going to share with you what the abbreviation stands for, where to buy it, how to use it and I’m going to share my favorite recipes using TVP! Let’s get started!When I went vegan 5 years ago, I started veganizing classic, traditional recipes. And because I live in Austria (Schnitzel is our national dish, you figure how meat-centric our cuisine is) I needed a good alternative for all the meat in the recipes and I found it by using TVP (= Textured Vegetable Protein). It was an easy way to still indulge in the known and beloved dishes, without all the animal cruelty. TVP definitely has helped me transition to a vegan diet, it made the process of adapting a plant-based diet a whole lot easier. Now, 5 years in, I still love meals made with TVP and I always have a stash of all kinds of different forms of TVP at home. I love TVP becauseit can be stored at room-temperature like forever,is inexpensive,it expands when cooked, so it doesn’t need much space when storing itand it’s versatile!What is TVP? TVP stands for Textured Vegetable Protein, often also called soy meat, soya chunks/granule/slices. It is made out of defatted soy flour, which is extruded into shapes (such as granule, flakes, chunks, slices, strips, nuggets,…). Because there are so many different kinds, they can be used for all kinds of recipes – I’ve included my favorites below!Where to buy TVP?"

While it does many things well, one hole in it's interface is stored procedures. This project provides routines that can call stored procedures and will properly handle input and output parameters, return codes and multiple result sets. Background The problem with calling stored procedures from a strongly typed language is that they're messy. They can accept data via either throught scalar parameters or a table (T-SQL) and can return data via their parameters, by a return code and through multiple result sets, each of which may be completely different. Until the very clever people at Microsoft add stored procedure support to Code First (Entity Framework 4.1), you can use this interface routine. This project provides classes and extension methods to allow you to call stored procedures and deal with all that messiness in a relatively clean way.

How the SEC Protects You and Prevents Another Depression Share Flip Pin Email•••By Kimberly Amadeo Updated October 30, 2017The U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission is a federal agency that regulates the U. S. stock market . By helping the U. S. economy, the SEC contributes to the high standard of living we enjoy today. Thanks to the SEC, there is little chance that we will again experience a Great Depression. What the SEC Does The SEC maintains confidence in the U. S. stock market. That's critical to the strong functioning of the U. S. economy. It does this by providing transparency into the workings of U. S. companies. It makes sure investors can get accurate information about corporate profitability. That allows investors to determine a fair price for the stock of the company. Without this transparency, the stock market would be vulnerable to sudden shifts as hidden information came out."

This Investor Bulletin describes some of the potential risks associated with bank sweep programs and suggests questions you may want to consider asking your broker-dealer to help you decide how to best manage the cash in your brokerage account. What is a bank sweep program? Broker-dealers may offer you several options for managing your cash. One option, a bank sweep program, typically involves the automatic transfer (or “sweep”) of cash in the brokerage account into a deposit account at a bank that may or may not be affiliated with the broker-dealer. Other options include leaving cash in the brokerage account, or sweeping cash to one or more money market mutual funds . This investor alert focuses only on the first option: bank sweep programs. The terms and conditions of bank sweep programs vary. The protections for cash at a bank primarily will derive from banking laws and regulations, including FDIC deposit insurance. How do I know if I am participating in a bank sweep program?"

Standard commision is 10%, to the seller.... if co-brokeraged each party usually get 5 and 5. Problem comes in to the picture, where, it is just as much leg work to sell a 20k boat, as a 100k, boat. difference comes in where the 20k guy has little funds, if there is 2k of survey issues to handle that's 10%. the 100k guy, 2k means no big deal I do it, and make the deal. The adavantage of selling normally comes to taxes, as a seller does have a limited amount of time to purchase a new boat, against his prior boat, and re-coup the sales tax advantage....

Direct Express Auto Transport was the first company to offer an instant online auto transport quotes calculator in 2004. We immediately recognized how difficult it was to get a straight answer to the simple question: “How much does it cost to ship my car cross-country?”. Calling around to numerous car transport brokers elicited the same response, that a vehicle shipping estimate would only be provided if personal information was provided first. That really did not sit well with us because there is absolutely no legitimate reason for it. Seriously folks, most every other industry will advertise or reveal the price for their goods or services upfront. Why not the car shipping industry? Direct Express Auto Transport went the opposite way, painstakingly creating an auto transport quotes calculator that could produce accurate shipping rates instantly online from any location to any other in the 48 contiguous United States. Further, we decided not to ask for any personal information, instead trusting the customer to appreciate our auto shipping rate service and honor us with their business. We didn’t stop there."

"text": "Do Financial Advisors Work With Customers Or Clients? May 11, 2017 12:30 pm 2 Comments CATEGORY: Practice Management19Shares A A A19Shares Executive Summary Historically, “success” as a financial advisor was all about building a book of business, to generate ongoing revenue, and perhaps even the possibility of selling that book of business at the end. Yet the caveat the value of a book of business – and what you provide them, and where the value really lies – depends on whether the people you work with in the end are really your “clients”, or simply your “customers”. In this week’s #Office Hours with @Michael Kitces, my Tuesday 1PM EST broadcast via Periscope, we discuss what the difference is between a customer and a client, and why the terminology advisors use really does matter in the value of a book of business, and the value that’s provided to the people we work with. For many, the idea of differentiation between customers and clients will probably seem like minor semantics, but the reality is that the words we use truly do matter. Just consider for a moment what comes to mind when you think of a “customer”, and then a “client”. For most, the images are not going to be the same. A customer buys a product from an order-taker or salesperson. A client buys advice from a professional. The key distinction is that when engaging with customers, the value isn’t actually the advisor (or the salesperson in general); the value is in the product."

The best way to explanation of what a middleman business is that it is a business where you bring two opposing people together. The two different sets of people need each other and a middleman business puts them together. Many new and valuable startups don’t really make anything. Instead of cutting out middlemen, they’ve become them, connecting people with specific genres of services or merchants. Successful examples of this include transportation providers Uber and Lyft, and travel rental startup Airbnb. They have all raised huge amounts of money and spawned numerous copycats. The companies that do it well have two major things in common; they use human input to better serve a narrow market, and actively steer clear of anything that you can’t do in minutes on a smartphone. Whether it’s through intuitive ratings, manually curating products, treating suppliers well, or instantly responding when something goes wrong, successful middlemen use their staff and users to make markets work better."

The Importer Security Filing (ISF) began in January 2009 with a one year introductory phase-in period. Full enforcement began in January 2010, but Customs and Border Protection (CBP) maintained a flexible and measured enforcement stance. Penalty guidelines were published in July 2009, but Customs held off doing anything until July 2013 when they announced they would begin full enforcement for real and start issuing liquidated damages against ISF importers and carriers for non-compliance. Liquidated damages (which are essentially penalties backed up by a Customs bond) are being issued, but the ports must submit the cases to CBP headquarters for review first. This will be the procedure for at least until mid-2014. HQ has rejected multiple cases from the ports, but has issued penalties against egregious ISF offenders. Liquidated damages for ISF start at $5000 for failure to file an ISF, $5000 for late ISF, $5000 for inaccurate ISF, $5000 for an incomplete ISF, and $5000 for failure to withdraw an ISF. The maximum liquidated damages per ISF filing is $10,000. Now that Customs is in full enforcement mode with real liquidated damages for real money, we wanted to share some best practices for your ISF program: Don’t wait until the last minute: ISF must be filed at least 24 hours prior to vessel departure."

Gas station along the Trans-Canada Highway (16th Avenue) in Calgary Rosanne Tackaberry—Alamy By Brad Tuttle August 11, 2015Gas prices in Canada are cheaper this summer than they were in 2014. No surprise there. Gas prices are cheaper in much of the world, most notably in the U. S., where the average gallon of regular is 90¢ less expensive that it was a year ago. But what’s interesting—and frustrating, for Canadian drivers—is that gas prices north of the border haven’t retreated nearly to the extent that they have in America. Dan Mc Teague, a former Member of Parliament in Canada and current senior petroleum analyst for Gas Buddy, recently explained that Canadian drivers are only saving about 41¢ per gallon compared to last year. The weakness of the Canadian dollar compared to its American counterpart is the biggest reason why gas prices haven’t dropped more. “ As Canadians pay world price for fuel in U. S. denominations, the loss in purchasing power accounts for real disappointment at the pumps,” Mc Teague wrote. Gasoline prices in Canada are based on global market rates, using American dollars, even when it is produced and refined in Canada. Speaking with CBC News, Mc Teague said that the weak Canadian dollar explains about 50% of why gas prices haven’t fallen as much there. A shortage of supply in the U. S. accounts for perhaps 30% more of the problem, according to Mc Teague."

Courtesy of Rain Crow Ranch Beef from cattle that have grazed only on pasture is in high demand — much to the surprise of many meat retailers, who didn't traditionally think of grass-fed beef as top-quality. George Siemon, a founder of Organic Valley, the big organic food supplier, says the push for grass-fed beef started with activists who wanted to challenge a beef industry dominated by factory-scale feedlots. In those feedlots, cattle are fed a corn-heavy diet designed to make the animals gain weight as quickly as possible. Today, Siemon says, grass-fed has grown beyond that. \"\" It has a naturalness that seems to attract the mainstream market,\"\" he says. But if you look carefully at the labels on grass-fed beef, especially in mainstream supermarkets like Safeway and Stop & Shop, you'll notice something peculiar. Quite a lot of this beef is coming to the U. S. from half a world away, in Australia. Patricia Whisnant knows about this through personal experience. She and her husband own Rain Crow Ranch in southern Missouri, which has become one of the country's largest grass-fed-beef producers."

Dealer activity is not interpreted the same way under securities law and banking law. Banks need to be aware that \"\"dealer\"\" activity under the federal securities laws is not necessarily the same thing as \"\"dealer\"\" activity under banking law. For example, so-called \"\"riskless principal\"\" transactions are dealer activity for securities law purposes, even though they are agency activity for banking law purposes. Similarly, repurchase agreement transactions are treated as purchases and sales of securities for securities law purposes. Generally, these transactions would also be characterized for securities law purposes as transactions in the underlying security. Although this Staff Compliance Guide highlights some of the significant provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (\"\"Exchange Act\"\") and the Commission's rules, it is not comprehensive. We urge banks that need more information about particular exceptions and exemptions to consult the applicable law, including Section 3 (a) (5) of the Exchange Act and the rules cited below."

"text": "\"Ryan Lanham, Futurist Answered Mar 7, 2016 · Author has 981 answers and 1m answer views In the United States, there is a system called Federalism wherein there is a national government that sits in Washington D. C. as a capital, and (currently) 50 state governments with their own local state capitals. To confuse the matter slightly, each state is allocated 2 national senators. Thus, even though California has millions more people than Wyoming, both have but two senators who go to Washington. In many ways, a vote in Wyoming is thus worth a lot more than one in California!A state can have a legislature to make state laws, the way the Federal government has a legislature to make national laws and do other legislative administration. States with a senate for their local governance have \"\"state senators.\"\" These might number in the few dozens of persons, typically. The two federal senators from the state are not \"\"state senators\"\" but Senators from that state. Confusing... but that's the system. There are always two for each state in the Federal government.

"text": "\"Quora User, comment killjoy Answered Dec 26, 2014 · Author has 1.3k answers and 7.3m answer views Looking at \"\"Notes of Debates in the Federal Convention of 1787\"\", reported by James Madison, it looks like it happened like this: First, they discussed the age requirement for a Representative. In Madison's original daft, there was no minimum age. George Mason proposed setting it to 25, as political opinions at the age of 21, were too crude and erroneous to merit an influence on public measures. [ While] It had been said that Congress had proved a good school for our young men....he chose that they should bear the experience of their own education James Wilson disagreed, arguing that voters could decide for themselves: Mr. Wilson was against abridging the rights of election in any shape... There was no more reason for incapacitating youth than age After this small discussion, they voted - Mason's motion carries 7 for, 3 against, 1 split. Second, they discussed it for the Senate. This was set at 30 years in Madison's original draft, and seems to have sailed through without discussion - it was agreed to unanimously. Third, they moved on to the Executive. As they now have established a trend (25 for the House, 30 for the Senate), you can see where the 35 came from. I see it first introduced as part of a package of recommendations about the nature of the executive from \"\"The Committee on Postponed Parts\"\" (love that name), in the same clause as a recommendation that the president be \"\"a citizen of the United States, and shall have been an inhabitant thereof for twenty one years\"\". This was then tweaked into the final version we have now."

The revised bill fully funds the 1.3 percent basic pay raise for 2016 as expected. The defense bill now goes back to President Obama where he is expected to sign it into law. On October 22, 2015, as expected, President Obama vetoed the 2016 National Defense Authorization Act. On October 7, 2015, by a vote of 70 to 27, the United States Senate voted to pass the 2016 National Defense Authorization Act. The bill now heads off to the desk of President Obama for consideration.

"text": "17th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution: Direct Election of U. S. Senators Americans did not directly vote for senators for the first 125 years of the Federal Government. The Constitution, as it was adopted in 1788, stated that senators would be elected by state legislatures. The first proposal to amend the Constitution to elect senators by popular vote was introduced in the U. S. House of Representatives in 1826, but the idea did not gain considerable support until the late 19th century when several problems related to Senate elections had become evident. Several state legislatures deadlocked over the election of senators, which led to Senate vacancies lasting months and even years. In other cases, political machines gained control over state legislatures, and the Senators elected with their support were dismissed as puppets. In addition, the Senate was seen as a “millionaire's club” serving powerful private interests. The rise of the People's Party, commonly referred to as the Populist Party, added motivation for making the Senate more directly accountable to the people. During the 1890s, the House of Representatives passed several resolutions proposing a constitutional amendment for the direct election of senators. Each time, however, the Senate refused to even take a vote. When it seemed unlikely that both houses of Congress would pass legislation proposing an amendment for direct election, many states changed strategies."

Aid to Israel The Costs to American Taxpayers of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: $3 Trillion, by Thomas R. Stauffer THE STRATEGIC FUNCTIONS OF U. S. AID TO ISRAELBy Stephen Zunes Dr. Zunes is an assistant professor in the Department of Politics at the University of San Francisco. Since 1992, the U. S. has offered Israel an additional $2 billion annually in loan guarantees. Congressional researchers have disclosed that between 1974 and 1989, $16.4 billion in U. S. military loans were converted to grants and that this was the understanding from the beginning. Indeed, all past U. S. loans to Israel have eventually been forgiven by Congress, which has undoubtedly helped Israel's often-touted claim that they have never defaulted on a U. S. government loan. U. S. policy since 1984 has been that economic assistance to Israel must equal or exceed Israel's annual debt repayment to the United States. Unlike other countries, which receive aid in quarterly installments, aid to Israel since 1982 has been given in a lump sum at the beginning of the fiscal year, leaving the U. S. government to borrow from future revenues. Israel even lends some of this money back through U. S. treasury bills and collects the additional interest. In addition, there is the more than $1.5 billion in private U. S. funds that go to Israel annually in the form of $1 billion in private tax-deductible donations and $500 million in Israeli bonds. The ability of Americans to make what amounts to tax-deductible contributions to a foreign government, made possible through a number of Jewish charities, does not exist with any other country. Nor do these figures include short- and long-term commercial loans from U. S. banks, which have been as high as $1 billion annually in recent years."

The goal of therapeutic cloning is to obtain stem cells which can be developed into organs for transplant that have an identical DNA structure to the organ recipient. It does not involve the attempt to create a newborn. Reproductive Cloning would start with the same nuclear transfer technique. However, the resultant pre-embryo would be implanted in the uterus of a woman with the intent of it developing into a fetus and eventually a newborn.

"text": "Government & Politics Politics Q: How old does someone have to be to become a U. S. senator? A: Quick Answer Someone who wants to become a United States senator must be at least 30 years old. The designated minimum senator age was not fully debated by the 1787 Constitutional Congress delegates. Continue Reading Keep Learning What are the qualifications to run for senator of Texas? What are some ways to contact a senator? How do you contact Senator Ted Cruz? Full Answer When debating the required U. S. senator age in 1787, the Constitutional Congress delegates looked towards England's parliamentary model. This model stated that members of parliament should be 21, and upon designating an age, the constitutional framers unanimously voted on making sure senators were at least 30, without having a debate on the matter. In addition to deciding on a minimum age, the constitutional framers determined how long prospective senators should live in their chosen state before running for office. Unlike the English parliament, they decided not to implement strict citizenship laws."

"text": "Urobilinogen The urobilinogen test detects impaired liver function by measuring urine levels of urobilinogen, the colorless, water-soluble product that results from the reduction of bilirubin by intestinal bacteria. Absent or altered urobilinogen levels can indicate hepatic damage or dysfunction. Increased urine urobilinogen levels may indicate hemolysis of red blood cells. Quantitative analysis of urine urobilinogen involves addition of Ehrlich's reagent to a 2 hour urine specimen. The resulting color reaction is read promptly by spectrophotometry. Purpose To aid diagnosis of extrahepatic obstruction, such as blockage of the common bile duct To aid differential diagnosis of hepatic and hematologic disorders Patient Preparation Explain to the patient that this test helps assess liver and biliary tract function. Inform him that he needn't restrict fluids or food, except for bananas, which he should avoid for 48 hours before the test. Tell him that the test requires a 2 hour urine specimen, and teach him how to collect it. Procedure And Posttest Care Most laboratories request a random urine specimen; others prefer a 2-hour specimen, usually during the afternoon (ideally, between I p.m. and 3 p.m.), when urobilinogen levels peak. Tell the patient he may resume his normal diet."

"text": "Investigations (Bedside and Laboratory Tests and Imaging)Save Print Share Actions Bilirubinuria Authored by Dr Laurence Knott, 10 Jun 2016This article is for Medical Professionals In this article Bilirubin fractions present in blood and urine Method of testing Common causes of raised bilirubin and urobilinogen False negative and false positive reactions on dipstick testing Bile (mainly conjugated bilirubin) is converted to urobilinogen by intestinal bacteria. Most of the urobilinogen is excreted in faeces or reabsorbed and transported back to the liver to be reconverted into bile. The remaining urobilinogen (about 1% of total) is excreted in the urine. The amount of conjugated bilirubin present in serum in healthy subjects is small (less than 10% of total bilirubin). An elevated level of conjugated serum bilirubin implies liver disease. Therefore, because only conjugated bilirubin appears in urine, bilirubinuria also implies liver disease. Unconjugated bilirubin is tightly bound to albumin, not filtered by the glomerulus and absent from urine even with raised serum levels of unconjugated bilirubin. A positive test for urine bilirubin confirms that any raised plasma levels are from conjugated hyperbilirubinaemia. Bilirubinuria can be an early feature of hepatobiliary disease but may be absent despite increased serum bilirubin. In the assessment of a patient with raised total bilirubin, urinalysis for bilirubin and urobilinogen, together with LFTs, may be helpful in identifying the underlying pathology."

Performing microscopic analysis on only dipstick positive urine samples is cost effective when the patient population being tested has a low incidence of potential disease. Numerous studies have determined that 6 to 20% of patients with urine sediment abnormalities are missed by this testing strategy. However, most of the missed cases are clinically insignificant and are often due to contaminating bacteria multiplying after urine collection. Urine dipsticks are plastic strips with attached reagent pads for p H, protein, glucose, ketone, bilirubin, urobilinogen, blood, nitrite, and leukocyte esterase. The principle and performance of each dipstick test is summarized below.p HThe test is based on a double indicator method (methyl red and bromthymol blue) that covers the entire range of urine p H.

On This Page: Urinalysis Chemical Examination Microscopic Examination Recommended Clinic What is Urine? Blood passes through the kidneys, and next urine is formed and excreted. Urine is made up of substances that are not used or needed by our cells, so they are the leftovers of metabolic processes (e.g., urea). The blood is first filtered and all small molecules, including both nutrients and wastes, enter a nephron. There are about 1,000,000 nephrons in each human kidney and nephrons are the active part of the kidney that produces urine while removing waste and excess substances from the blood. The nutrient molecules and some salts and water are reabsorbed back into the blood, while unwanted substances remain within the nephron to become a part of the urine. Urinalysis A urinalysis is, as the name suggests, is an analysis of the urine. A sample of 30-60mls of your urine is needed for urinalysis. Your GP may order urinalysis in a lab to test for kidney, metabolic disorders and urinary tract infections."

[ 2]There are strips which serve different purposes, such as qualitative strips that only determine if the sample is positive or negative, or there are semi-quantitative ones that in addition to providing a positive or negative reaction also provide an estimation of a quantitative result, in the latter the colour reactions are approximately proportional to the concentration of the substance being tested for in the sample.

"text": "\"Surgery St-Wr Urinalysis Urinalysis Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Definition A urinalysis is a group of manual and/or automated qualitative and semi-quantitative tests performed on a urine sample. A routine urinalysis usually includes the following tests: color, transparency, specific gravity, p H, protein, glucose, ketones, blood, bilirubin, nitrite, urobilinogen, and leukocyte esterase. Some laboratories include a microscopic examination of urinary sediment with all routine urinalysis tests. If not, it is customary to perform the microscopic exam, if transparency, glucose, protein, blood, nitrite, or leukocyte esterase is abnormal. Purpose Routine urinalyses are performed for several reasons:general health screening to detect renal and metabolic diseasesdiagnosis of diseases or disorders of the kidneys or urinary tractmonitoring of patients with diabetes In addition, quantitative urinalysis tests may be performed to help diagnose many specific disorders, such as endocrine diseases, bladder cancer, osteoporosis, and porphyrias (a group of disorders caused by chemical imbalance). Quantitative analysis often requires the use of a timed urine sample. The urinary microalbumin test measures the rate of albumin excretion in the urine using laboratory tests. This test is used to monitor the kidney function of persons with diabetes mellitus. In diabetics, the excretion of greater than 200 μg/m L albumin is predictive of impending kidney disease. Precautions Voided specimens All patients should avoid intense athletic training or heavy physical work before the test, as these activities may cause small amounts of blood to appear in the urine."

"text": "\"Urinalysis: Three Types of Examinations Visual Exam | Chemical Exam | Microscopic Exam The Visual Examination: During the visual examination of the urine, the laboratorian observes the urine's color, clarity, and concentration. Urine can be a variety of colors, most often shades of yellow, from very pale or colorless to very dark or amber. Unusual or abnormal urine colors can be the result of a disease process, some medications, or the result of eating certain foods. For example, some people excrete red-colored urine after eating beets. The color is from the natural pigment of beets and is not a cause for worry. However, red-colored urine can also occur when blood is present in the urine and can be an indicator of disease or damage to some part of the urinary system. Blood can also be a contaminant that gets into the urine unintentionally during collection, such as from hemorrhoids or from a woman's menstruation. Once this contaminating blood is in the urine, it will be detected during the chemical phase of a urinalysis, and the doctor will initially assume that it came from the urinary tract. The importance of blood in urine is discussed further in the chemical and microscopic examination sections. The depth of urine color is also a crude indicator of urine concentration: Pale yellow or colorless urine indicates a dilute urine where lots of water is being excreted."

Urine drug levels are good at room temp or in the fridge for several days. Microalbumin testing is also good for several days in the fridge. However, if the urine is being collected for a routine urinalysis or a microscopic, the urine needs to be tested as soon as possible. Cellular components, bilirubin, and urobilinogen break down quickly after specimen collection, and bacterial growth causes glucose to decrease and protein and p H to increase. In my laboratory we only accept urines for urinalysis within 2 hours of collection if held at room temp, or within 4 hours if kept refrigerated.52 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

Bladder prolapse, also known as cystocele, is a common condition that occurs when there’s a loss of support in the connective tissues that support the bladder near the front part of the vagina. Symptoms According to Virtua urogynecologist Joseph Maccarone, MD, when bladder prolapse happens, the bladder may protrude through the vagina and outside of the body. However, bladder prolapse may simply present with a feeling of pressure, heaviness or pelvic pain. Dr. Maccarone notes that many women associate bladder prolapse with incontinence. But he clarified that they’re different, and that often those with bladder prolapse don’t have leakage. What causes bladder prolapse? Dr. Maccarone stressed that bladder prolapse is very common. It can occur as a result of vaginal childbirth, but it also happens in women involved in activities that put a strain on the pelvic floor like heavy lifting, gymnastics or skydiving. Prolapse also occurs as a result of other medical conditions that cause strain like chronic cough and lung disease, constipation, hysterectomy, or connective tissue disorders that would result in weaker connective tissues in the pelvic floor."

Inter Stim is an FDA-approved surgical implant device used to treat bladder incontinence and overactive bladder. The device works by sending mild electric pulses to control symptoms such as leaks and urge incontinence. Inter Stim can be reversed or discontinued at any time during therapy. Request an appointment to learn if Inter Stim Therapy is an option for you About Inter Stim Therapy In the case of individuals with bladder control problems, Inter Stim sends mild electrical pulses to the sacral nerves, located just above the tailbone. This small neuro-stimulator is implanted below the skin through a minor incision and attached to a soft wire that extends near the tailbone. The pulses from the neuro-transmitter work in much the same way as a heart pacemaker reducing and regulating the signals given off by the sacral nerve. This helps to control symptoms such as leaks, the sudden urge to go, and over active bladder that are all caused by the overstimulation of the sacral nerve. When is Inter Stim Therapy recommended for urinary incontinence? Bladder incontinence is commonly regulated using non-invasive pharmaceutical measures that target the bladder muscles themselves."

While for most women the outcome is positive, there are others for whom the results are negative and regretful. Although over 500,000 hysterectomies are done each year in the United States, many women could benefit from less invasive, alternative treatment options which come with less risks and long term implications. While there are compelling reasons for having a hysterectomy, there are also several reasons NOT to have one. Below are five of those reasons.1. BIRTH CONTROLA hysterectomy is not a reasonable choice for permanent birth control. It is a major surgery and as such hysterectomy complications and side effects can occur which can negatively impact your life forever. Rather than remove your uterus to prevent a pregnancy, there are multiple, less invasive birth control options which you can consider.2. ELIMINATE PERIODSA hysterectomy is not a reasonable option for eliminating the routine bleeding that goes along with normal periods. If you wish to stop or minimize the monthly bleeding, there are several other options you can consider: an endometrial ablation, certain IUD’s, hormones given in an injection, continuous birth control pills, and more.3."

Your body takes nutrients from food and uses them to maintain all bodily functions including energy and self-repair. After your body has taken what it needs from the food, waste products are left behind in the blood and in the bowel. The urinary system works with the lungs, skin, and intestines—all of which also excrete wastes—to keep the chemicals and water in your body balanced. Adults eliminate about a quart and a half of urine each day. The amount depends on many factors, especially the amounts of fluid and food a person consumes and how much fluid is lost through sweat and breathing.

Other people may have intense pain in the bladder or struggle with urinary urgency, the sudden need to urinate, or frequency, the need to urinate more often. Health care professionals diagnose IC by ruling out other conditions with similar symptoms. Researchers don’t know the exact cause of IC. Some researchers believe IC may result from conditions that cause inflammation in various organs and parts of the body. Severe IC symptoms can affect your quality of life.

Read on to learn about the different types of prolapse that can occur, and find information about causes, diagnosis, treatment options and prevention as well as what you can do to help ease your symptoms. Prolapse may also be called uterine prolapse, genital prolapse, uterovaginal prolapse, pelvic relaxation, pelvic floor dysfunction, urogenital prolapse or vaginal wall prolapse. Types of Prolapse Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the pelvic floor muscles become weak or damaged and can no longer support the pelvic organs. The womb (uterus) is the only organ that actually falls into the vagina. When the bladder and bowel slip out of place, they push up against the walls of the vagina. While prolapse is not considered a life threatening condition it may cause a great deal of discomfort and distress.

"text": "Why Do I Always Have To Pee? 8 Causes Of Frequent Urination By Suzannah Weiss Dec 6 2017andriano_cz/Fotolia The other night, I got up to pee six or seven times on a five-hour flight, stumbling over the person in the aisle seat. The next day, I excused myself three times during lunch with a colleague. Sound familiar? This constant need to pee is both uncomfortable and embarrassing. It also can point toward a surprising number of medical issues. Most people pee six or seven times a day, but anywhere between four and 10 is OK if it's not causing any problems, Sangeeta Mahajan, MD, a urogynecologist at the University Hospital Case Medical Center, tells Bustle. Peeing more than 10 times a day — or peeing eight to 10 times and experiencing distress over it — is cause for concern. I'm still not quite sure what my own constant peeing stemmed from, but it mostly went away on its own, especially after sleeping better, reducing stress, and limiting my liquid intake. The cause of frequent urination is difficult to identify without having a thorough picture of your habits and health, so you should see a doctor if you're dealing with it, says Mahajan."

Because large numbers of men are exposed to such a risk for a long period of time, an adverse effect of vasectomy on health could have far-reaching negative consequences for public as well as individual health. Concern about the possibility of long-term risks of vasectomy was fueled by findings that vasectomy may accelerate development of atherosclerosis in monkeys, 1, 2 but it originated in observations that a high proportion of men with vasectomy develop anti-sperm antibodies. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 Results of studies conducted over nearly four decades, however, provide little evidence of any significant long-term side effects of vasectomy. Current guidelines from the American Urological Association 11 and the European Association of Urology 12 reflect this in their recommendation for preoperative counselling for men/couples considering vasectomy (see Box 1). Nonetheless, the topic remains of considerable interest with reports of studies on the topic appearing regularly in the scientific literature. Box 1 Vasectomy counselling recommendations related to long-term risks following vasectomy 11, 12EFFECTS ON SEXUALITY AND SEXUAL FUNCTIONAfter vasectomy, male sexual and reproductive physiology remains unaffected, aside from the desired change in fertility. The nerves involved in erectile function and ejaculation are not affected, and vasectomy does not lead to impotence or other sexual difficulties. 13, 14, 15 In a large cohort study, 16, 17 incidence of impotence was 1.9/1000 man-years (MY) of observation in men with vasectomy and 1.7/1000 MY in men without vasectomy, a difference that was not statistically significant. As with female sterilization, vasectomy has sometimes been reported to have a positive effect on sexuality, possibly because the chance of unintended pregnancy has been reduced."

Go to: Abstract Prostatitis is a prevalent condition that encompasses a large array of clinical symptoms with significant impacts on men's life. The diagnosis and treatment of this disorder presents numerous challenges for urologists, most notably, a lack of specific and effective diagnostic methods. Chronic bacterial prostatitis is successfully treated with appropriate antibiotics that penetrate the prostate and kill the causative organisms. Prostatitis category III (chronic pelvic pain syndrome) is common, very bothersome, and enigmatic. Symptoms are usually prolonged and, generally speaking, treatment results are unsatisfactory."

"title": "https://wakespine.com/knowledge-center/treatments-offered/trigger-point-injections/\nWhat are Trigger Point Injections?",
"text": "What are Trigger Point Injections? Trigger point injection (TPI) is a simple procedure widely performed to relieve myofascial pain [1]. It involves injection of medications into trigger points, or knots that form when muscles do not relax. A myofascial trigger point, or knot, is a hyperirritable spot, usually located within a taut band of skeletal muscle, which feels painful upon compression and can give rise to characteristic pain, motor dysfunction, and autonomic phenomena [2]. Trigger points produce local and referred pain and often accompany chronic musculoskeletal disorders [3]. Knots can be felt as nodules or bands in the muscle. Stimulation of a knot may elicit a twitch response and pain, which may radiate in a distribution consistent with the affected muscle. TPI is used to treat a wide variety of pain syndromes and other painful conditions. A common application for TPI is treatment of myofascial pain syndrome, a chronic musculoskeletal pain condition in which painful trigger points develop within muscle and fascia, resulting in local and referred pain, restricted range of motion, and autonomic nervous system dysfunction [4]. A number of studies suggest that TPIs may improve quality of life in patients who experience pain as a result of myofascial pain syndrome [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]. For example, a study in 91 patients with myofascial pain in different locations reported pain relief in 93.3% of the patients following ultrasound-guided TPI without medications [10]. Further, a clinical trial in patients with active myofascial trigger points of the upper trapezius muscle found TPI improved their pain and range of motion [11]. And the authors of a randomized, controlled clinical trial reported 12-week comprehensive treatment of trigger points in shoulder muscles reduced the number of muscles with active trigger points and was effective in reducing symptoms and improving shoulder function in patients with chronic shoulder pain [12]. Another pain syndrome commonly treated with TPIs is fibromyalgia, a chronic condition involving widespread pain, fatigue, sleep abnormalities, and often distress. The authors of a controlled study in fibromyalgia patients concluded the overall spontaneous fibromyalgia pain pattern can be reproduced by mechanical stimulation of active trigger points located in different muscles, suggesting fibromyalgia pain arises largely from muscle pain and spasm [13]. According to another study in fibromyalgia patients, tender points located at examination sites specified by American College of Rheumatology criteria are almost universally myofascial trigger points [14]. And two recent reviews concluded local extinction of trigger points in patients with fibromyalgia produces significant relief of fibromyalgia pain [15], and improves range of motion [16]. TPI is also used to treat chronic pelvic pain syndrome, which involves lower urinary tract symptoms, chronic pelvic pain, sexual dysfunction, interstitial cystitis, painful bladder syndrome in women, and chronic prostatitis in men [17]. There may be an association between myofascial trigger points and reported painful sites in individuals with this syndrome [18], and concentrating therapy on clusters of trigger points inside and outside the pelvic floor may help relieve symptoms [19]. A 2011 Stanford University study found men with chronic pelvic pain refractory to traditional treatment benefitted from intensive myofascial trigger point therapy and concomitant paradoxical relaxation training [20]. And another study found application of the trigger point release/paradoxical relaxation training protocol in men was associated with significant improvement in pelvic pain, urinary symptoms, libido, ejaculatory pain, and erectile and ejaculatory dysfunction [21]. Patients with chronic headaches sometimes receive TPIs to assist in controlling the pain. One theory is that referred pain from trigger points in head, neck, and shoulder muscles produces head pain [22], [23]. According to a survey conducted by the International Headache Society, the most common indications for the use of TPIs in headache patients are chronic tension-type headache and chronic migraine [24]. Further, a 2008 study in chronic cluster headache patients found TPIs were associated with significant improvement in 7 of 8 chronic cluster headache patients [25]. Additionally, TPI is being investigated as a treatment for whiplash, an acute condition involving neck pain after sudden backwards and forwards motion, as may occur in an automobile accident. According to the authors of a preliminary study, trigger points are considered a primary cause of pain in whiplash injured patients [26]. A controlled study in 17 whiplash patients with chronic and intractable neck pain showed several beneficial effects in individuals who received TPI [27]. The study subjects were evaluated for cervical range of motion, pressure pain thresholds, sensitivity to light (photophobia) and perception of pain using a visual analog scale (VAS) before and after injections. Immediate (within 1 minute) alterations in cervical range of motion and pressure pain thresholds were observed following an average of 3.8 injections with 1% lidocaine into carefully identified trigger points."

Prior studies have demonstrated the relationship between BPH and insulin-resistance syndrome. During insulin-resistance, hyperinsulinemia develops to combat the decreased responsiveness of the body towards insulin. Although, the compensatory hyperinsulinemia prevents development of fasting hyperglycemia in insulin-resistant individuals, the increased level of circulating insulin directly and/or indirectly affects different molecular signaling and can promote prostatic growth. Insulin-resistance syndrome includes group of disorders, such as obesity, dyslipidemia, sympathetic overactivity, hyperinsulinemia and each individually reported as risk factor for the development of BPH. The present review describes the inter-relationships between different insulin-resistance associated factors and their possible involvement in the pathogenesis of BPH.

Aetna considers the Uro Lume endourethral prosthesis (urethral stent) medically necessary to relieve prostatic obstruction secondary to BPH in men at least 60 years of age, or men under 60 years of age who are poor surgical candidates, and whose prostates are at least 2.5 cm in length. ( Note: Uro Lume is not intended for temporary use). Uro Lume endourethral prosthesis is also considered medically necessary for the treatment of recurrent bulbar urethral stenoses/strictures when previous therapeutic approaches such as dilation, urethrotomy or urethroplasty have failed (i.e., treatment was ineffective or there is recurrent stricture requiring additional treatment).

Increasing awareness of effective treatment strategies on behalf of patients, effective advertising by drug companies, and acknowledgement by health care providers that screening may help identify cardiovascular and other medical risks have led to higher rates of reporting, diagnosis, and treatment of ED. Back to Top Definition Erectile dysfunction is the inability to develop and maintain an erection for satisfactory sexual intercourse or activity in the absence of an ejaculatory disorder such as premature ejaculation. Erectile dysfunction is the preferred term rather than impotence. There are no universally agreed criteria for how consistent the problem has to be and for what duration it needs to be present to fulfill the definition. A period of persistence of longer than 3 months has been suggested as a reasonable clinical guideline. Back to Top Prevalence Several studies have looked at the prevalence of ED. The Massachusetts Male Aging Study 1 reported a prevalence of 52%. The study demonstrated that ED is increasingly prevalent with age. At age 40, approximately 40% of men are affected."

The annual incidence rate for urethral cancer in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database during the period from 1973 to 2002 in the United States for men was 4.3 per million and for women was 1.5 per million, with downward trends over the three decades. [ 1] The incidence was twice as high in African Americans as in whites (5 million vs. 2.5 per million). Urethral cancers appear to be associated with infection with human papillomavirus (HPV), particularly HPV16, a strain of HPV known to be causative for cervical cancer. [ 2, 3]Because of its rarity, nearly all information about the treatment of urethral cancer and the outcomes of therapy is derived from retrospective, single-center case series and, therefore, represents a very low level of evidence of 3iii Div. The majority of information comes from cases accumulated over many decades at major academic centers. Anatomy The female urethra is largely contained within the anterior vaginal wall. In adults, it is about 4 cm in length. The male urethra, which averages about 20 cm in length, is divided into distal and proximal portions. The distal urethra, which extends distally to proximally from the tip of the penis to just before the prostate, includes the meatus, the fossa navicularis, the penile or pendulous urethra, and the bulbar urethra."

Objectives: The objective of this study is to review the pathophysiology of priapism in acute traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI); to determine the incidence of priapism in traumatic SCI, whether or not priapism is associated with incomplete or only complete SCI and whether and what treatment might be required. Methods: This is a review article based upon the available literature in this area. Results and conclusions: Priapism that follows acute traumatic SCI is high-flow (non-ischaemic) priapism, that is, the blood within the corpus is arterial in nature. Priapism does not occur in all patients with acute SCI. The literature does not allow us to determine in what proportion of patients priapism occurs. Priapism has been reported following a wide variety of spinal cord pathologies including acute SCI, transverse myelitis and postoperative extradural haematoma. In all patients, priapism is associated with complete motor and sensory (American Spinal Injury Association A) paraplegia. Priapism has been reported following spinal shock. Following traumatic SCI, priapism usually settles rapidly without specific treatment being required."

Of the population with urinary incontinence, those affected by urge incontinence have their quality of life affected more severely than those with stress urinary incontinence (SUI), including sleep and/or nocturnal disturbances. Despite embarrassment, odor, and possible infection, urinary incontinence is often dismissed as a normal part of aging, and female patients rarely discuss this condition during visits with a physician. The goal of this chapter is to review the basic epidemiology, pathophysiology, and current developments in therapy of this problem. Back to Top DEFINITIONThe Standardization Subcommittee of the International Continence Society (ICS) formally defined overactive bladder (OAB) in September 2001 as a “symptom syndrome of lower urinary tract dysfunction.” More specifically, OAB is defined as “urgency, with or without urge incontinence, usually with frequency and nocturia.” 4 Synonyms include urge syndrome and urgency-frequency syndrome. Before 2001, several terms were used to refer to the syndrome."

Discuss the characteristics of the ideal ureteral stent.•. Recognize the imaging appearances of ureteral stents and the most common problems associated with them.•. Define the population of patients who are appropriate candidates for ureteral stent placement. Introduction Section: Choose prevnext Ureteral stents represent the most mature application of an indwelling endoluminal splint, having first been described by Zimskind et al ( 1) in 1967. As originally described, the intent of implantation was for the treatment of ureteral obstruction or fistula. Maturity of the technique paralleled development of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) and technical advances that allow endoluminal investigation and treatment of a variety of urinary tract diseases. As a result, the indications for ureteral stent placement have expanded significantly ( Table 1) ( 2 – 5 ). Ureteral stent placement is now considered a standard and indispensable urologic tool. As the technique has evolved, so has the design of the implanted device. It should be recognized, however, that no currently available device fulfills all of the criteria for the “ideal” stent ( Table 2) ( 4 – 8 ). Certain consequences can be anticipated with implantation of a foreign object into the urinary tract. There can also be unexpected complications ( Table 3) ( 2 – 4, 7 – 11 )."

For treatment planning, germ cell tumors are broadly divided into seminomas and nonseminomas because they have different prognostic and treatment algorithms. For patients with seminoma (all stages combined), the cure rate exceeds 90%. For patients with low-stage seminoma or nonseminoma, the cure rate approaches 100%.

PATIENTS AND METHODSFrom March 2004 to December 2007, 40 patients with simple renal cysts were enrolled and randomized; 22 (group A) had a simple retroperitoneal decortication (SRD) and 18 (group B) a decortication with wadding of the cyst using perirenal fat tissue (RDCW). The following variables were recorded: age, gender, side, size on ultrasonography/computed tomography (CT), location, operative duration, blood loss, complications, pathology, presence or absence of flank pain, hypertension, urinary tract compression or urinary infection. The primary endpoint of this trial was to evaluate and compare the efficacy of both treatments. Secondary endpoints were safety and pain, hypertension and the resolution of urinary tract obstruction. RESULTSIn all, 40 cysts were treated; there were no bilateral cysts. The mean ( sd) size on CT was 11.9 (1.84) cm in group A and 12.8 (1.25) cm in group B ( P = 0.1). All the procedures were completed laparoscopically and no conversion was necessary. There were no intraoperative complications. The mean (range) hospital stay was 3.4 (3–6) days."

This clinical guideline discusses evaluation, ischemic priapism, non-ischemic priapism, and stuttering priapism. Unabridged version of this Guideline [pdf]Panel Members Drogo K.

Sharlip, MDIntroduction Priapism, a relatively uncommon disorder, is a medical emergency. Although not all forms of priapism require immediate intervention, ischemic priapism is associated with progressive fibrosis of the cavernosal tissues and erectile dysfunction. 1, 2 Thus, all patients with priapism should be evaluated emergently in order to intervene as early as possible in those patients with ischemic priapism. The goal of the management of all patients with priapism is to achieve detumescence and preserve erectile function. Unfortunately, some of the treatments aimed at correcting priapism have the potential complication of erectile dysfunction. Therefore, the currently employed treatment modalities for priapism represent a range of options. These options are applied in a step-wise pattern with increasing invasiveness and risk balanced against the likelihood of prolonged ischemia and permanent damage to the corpora cavernosa if treatment is absent or delayed."

"text": "Congenital ureteropelvic junction obstruction Author: Laurence S Baskin, MD, FAAP Section Editor: Duncan Wilcox, MD Deputy Editor: Melanie S Kim, MDINTRODUCTIONUreteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction is a partial or intermittent total blockage of the flow of urine that occurs where the ureter enters the kidney. The etiology of UPJ obstruction includes both congenital and acquired conditions. UPJ obstruction is the most common pathologic cause of antenatally detected hydronephrosis. The epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical features, and management of congenital UPJ obstruction will be reviewed here. EPIDEMIOLOGYThe reported incidence of UPJ obstruction is 1 in 500 live births screened by routine antenatal ultrasound; however, not all cases require surgical intervention [ 1,2 ]. UPJ obstruction is the most common anatomical cause of antenatal hydronephrosis. Boys are affected with UPJ obstruction more commonly than are girls [ 3,4 ]. Lesions are found more frequently on the left than on the right side. The reported rate of bilateral involvement is approximately 10 percent [ 1,4 ]. PATHOPHYSIOLOGYCongenital UPJ obstruction is caused by anatomic lesions or functional disturbances that restrict urinary flow across the UPJ, resulting in hydronephrosis ( figure 1 and picture 1) [ 1 ]."

This article does not address that subject—info can be found in the section Calcium Absorption from Plant Foods. Oxalate is also known for the part it plays in calcium-oxalate kidney stones, which is the most common form of kidney stone. In many cases, getting a kidney stone is a one-time thing and does not occur again. Increasing fluid intake can cut the incidence of getting another stone in half. Cutting down on the amount of oxalate in the diet is another strategy for reducing stone recurrence. Some calcium-oxalate stone formers are prescribed potassium-citrate tablets which are also effective at reducing stones. Oxalate is generally not found in animal products while many plant foods are moderate or high, and some are extremely high (such as spinach, beets, beet greens, sweet potatoes, peanuts, rhubarb, and swiss chard). Despite this, a study from the Harvard School of Public Health found that people following a plant-based eating pattern had a lower occurrence of kidney stones ( 59 )."

Early detection allows for more conservative management, if needed, via means such as active surveillance and watchful waiting. Unabridged version of this Guideline [pdf]Panel Members H. Ballentine Carter, Peter C. Albertsen, Michael J. Barry, Ruth Etzioni, Stephen J. Freedland, Kirsten Lynn Greene, Lars Holmberg, Philip Kantoff, Badrinath R. Konety, Mohammad Hassan Murad, David F. Penson and Anthony L. Zietman Executive Summary Purpose This guideline addresses prostate cancer early detection for the purpose of reducing prostate cancer mortality with the intended user as the urologist. This document does not make a distinction between early detection and screening for prostate cancer. Early detection and screening both imply detection of disease at an early, pre-symptomatic stage when a man would have no reason to seek medical care –an intervention referred to as secondary prevention. This document does not address detection of prostate cancer in symptomatic men, where symptoms imply those that could be related to locally advanced or metastatic prostate cancer (e.g. new onset bone pain and/or neurological symptoms involving the lower extremities, etc.). Methodology The AUA commissioned an independent group to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of the published literature on prostate cancer detection and screening. The protocol of the systematic review was developed a priori by the expert panel. The search strategy was developed and executed by reference librarians and methodologists and spanned across multiple databases. This search covered articles in English published between 1995 and 2013."

[ 3]Diagnosis [ edit]HGPIN is diagnosed from tissue by a pathologist, which may come from:a needle biopsy taken via the rectum and,surgical removal of prostate tissue:transurethral resection of the prostate - removal of extra prostate tissue to improve urination (a treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia ),radical prostatectomy - complete removal of prostate and seminal vesicles (a treatment for prostate cancer). Blood tests for prostate specific antigen (PSA), digital rectal examination, ultrasound scanning of the prostate via the rectum, fine needle aspiration or medical imaging studies (such as magnetic resonance imaging) are not useful for diagnosing HGPIN."

"text": "How long is too long? “ I forgot that I had a ureteral stent”Posted on October 24, 2011 by Amanda Stiteler Many people have ureteral stents placed to prevent or treat urinary tract obstruction, and if you happen to be one of these people, it’s likely that you’re familiar with some of the symptoms of having a stent. However, it can be easy to forget that you have a stent in place, particularly if you’re experiencing minimal discomfort from your stent. Generally, it is recommended that stents be removed or exchanged before every 3-4 months. But what happens if you have it in place longer than this or if your stent is forgotten? Abdominal xray of a patient with a forgotten stent that had been in place for three years. One of the most common things that may happen to ureteral stents is encrustation, in which calcifications form around the placed stent. This phenomenon occurs to a minor degree in many patients and is usually of little consequence. It is most extensive when the stent is left in place for too long, and urinary tract obstruction and infection may occur as a result of encrustation. The amount of stent encrustation is directly related to how long a ureteral stent has remained in place."

Accepting dozens of attachments that are capable of everything from plowing snow to pouring cement, skid steer loaders represent one of the most versatile machines you can buy. Equally suited to landscaping and grounds keeping as they are to larger construction and industrial applications, loaders are prized for their compact size, maneuverability, and cost-effective operation, easily jumping from one task to another through quick-coupler attachments. Leading manufacturers and dealers Many people refer to a skid steer simply as a \"\"Bobcat.\"\" Though Bobcat is one of the leading manufacturers, there are almost a dozen other companies that currently produce the machines as well, including John Deere, Caterpillar, Gehl, and JCB. These manufacturers support a wide range of exclusive dealers, not to mention the countless independent outfits that also provide skid steers and attachments. While performance and cost are important, the dealer you select is equally as important – directly impacting the effectiveness and ROI of your investment by minimizing the total cost of ownership well into the future. When comparing skid steer dealers, use the following three considerations as your litmus test: Support and maintenance - A service level agreement (SLA) establishes the frequency and specifics of the post-sale support you receive – service that’s critical to keep the machine functioning properly and avoid downtime. Your SLA sets the costs associated with technician time and material, basic scheduled maintenance, complete scheduled maintenance (encompassing all operating systems), and additional services that check everything from the tip of the forks to the rear fender."

"text": "What are the best bobcat lures and what they do for you. In the most basic terms a bobcat lure is a mixture of ingredients that a bobcat will spend several moments investigating. Some bobcats will come to your trap set to try and figure out what the strange smell is. Some bobcats will know some of the smells in the lure and they are interested in them like food odors, bobcat smells, musk’s or plant extracts. Some lure works on the sex drive or territorial responses. Some lure ingredients are exotic to a bobcat and I think this causes more time at a bobcat set. To me, the best bobcat lures have a combination of odors to keep the cat at the set longer. Bobcats are animals that live in a simple world, a more complex built and engineered lure makes the bobcat spend more time working the lure. I’m not saying simple lures do not work, but they are limited in there scope. Now lets look at some of the different aspects of bobcat lures."

Hyperspectral imaging, or imaging spectroscopy, is a happy fusion of spectroscopy and imaging processing. Hyperspectral imaging can be seen either as an extension of classical image processing or an enhancement of classical spectroscopy. The simplest case is to use a black and white camera that captures the grey-scale values of objects. This yields a high surface resolution but no spectral information. On the other hand, a color camera (with three image sensors or a sensor with Bayer color filter) delivers a multi-spectral image with comparably high spatial resolution and three relatively broad-band color channels of red, green and blue. The downside is that these channels have a relatively low spectral resolution. Finally, a spectral imaging system that operates with just one sensor and a tunable narrow-band filter placed in the optical path to select a frequency. Alternatively, it functions as a so-called push-broom scanner to perform a line-based scan. For every pixel in every line, the spectrum is captured and stored."

"text": "\"Scraper Attachment Rental: $50-$70 Per Day Backhoe Rental: $100-$200 Per Day Equipment with Operator: $200-$1,200+ Per Day E-mail Post Tweet Comments (3)Land grading or leveling reshapes the ground's surface to a planned shape, level or slope. Typically done using heavy machinery, land grading is common in construction, landscaping or drainage correction projects. Grading is done to control surface runoff and soil erosion; to create a more suitable site for buildings, facilities, landscaping or other uses; and/or to route storm runoff and other excess moisture away from a house foundation or other structures. The Environmental Protection Agency provides a land grading overview [ 1] . Typical costs: Depending on the specific site and task, land grading can be done with a wide range of earthmoving equipment such as a skid steer loader (a small machine with lift arms that accept a variety of attachments), a bulldozer, a tractor with a scraper or planer attachment, or other machinery, from small to large. Costs vary depending on whether the land is being graded to grow grass, put in a pond or build a house. Renting a scraper attachment for a small tractor or similar machinery for a straightforward project like leveling a gravel driveway can cost $50-$70 a day. Renting a small backhoe can cost $100-$200 for a half-day or day, depending on location and model. Hiring an operator and a bulldozer, skid steer loader or similar equipment can cost $50-$150 or more an hour, depending on local rates and the type and size of equipment used. Many heavy equipment companies charge for travel and set-up time, and have a two- to eight-hour minimum ($200-$1,200 ); others offer package prices."

"text": "What’s Included In the Honda Certified Used Cars Warranty? Published on: December 23rd, 2013Deciding on new or used can be a difficult choice, but it’s one that Honda hopes to make a little easier on buyers by giving them the piece of mind in knowing that either way, they’ll be safe and covered. When you buy a Honda Certified Used Car, you can relax knowing that your car, SUV, van or truck has been looked over, under and through to ensure than any problems have been taken care of, and that if any new problems come up, that you’ll be taken care of too. A Certified Used Honda is backed by a 7-year/100,000 mile Limited Powertrain warranty and a 12,000 mile/12-month Non-Powertrain Component Limited Warranty, which takes effect when the original warranty expires. So what all does that cover? Let Honda Carland explain it all here. Powertrain Coverage Once the 5 year/60,000 mile coverage that comes standard on every new Honda has passed, vehicles that pass the rigorous certified used inspection will be covered for an additional 2 year or 40,000 miles, bringing the total coverage period up to 7 years and 100,000 miles. In this section, your drive systems and transmission will be completely take care of, including: Engine Cylinder block and cylinder head (s) and all internal lubricated parts Flywheel Manifolds Oil pan and oil pump Timing belt (for failure only)Cover and tensioner Valve train Water pump Engine mounts Seals and gaskets Transmission Transmission/transaxle/transfer/differential case and all internal parts Seals and gaskets Torque converter transmission mounts Clutch master cylinder Slave cylinder Shift cable Seals and gaskets Drive System Axle shafts Propeller shafts Gears and internal parts Drive shaft Wheel bearings Retainers Universal and CV joints Rear axle hub and bearings Seals and gaskets1 Year/12,000 Mile Non-Powertrain Coverage It’s not all about the powertrain though – we know that Honda drivers want the security of knowing that everything else, top to bottom, will keep working like new, too. That’s why, with a Certified Used Honda, you’ll get the benefit of having an extended 12 month non-powertrain warranty that picks up when your car is registered or when the factory warranty expires, which covers the safety restraint system, the fuel system, suspension and steering, brakes, electrical and sensors, doors and switches, heating, cooling and AC, audio/video and navigational devices, and fluids and oils. A full list of what each of these categories entails is below: Safety Restraint System Airbags (with the exception of airbags deployed due to collision)Control units Sensors and the cable reel Fuel System Fuel tank, pump, and lines Fuel gauge Fuel sending unit Fuel control devices Fuel-injection computer Oxygen sensor Throttle sensor Injectors Throttle body Seals and gaskets Suspension & Steering All suspension arms Stabilizer bar Shafts and bushings Knuckles and ball joints Manual and power steering gear housing and all internal parts Power steering pump Steering shaft Tie rods Rack-and-pinion Shock absorbers, including Mac Pherson™ struts and strut assemblies Dampners Seals and gaskets Brakes All lines/hoses and fittings Backing plates Brake booster and check valve Calipers and wheel cylinders Clips and retainers Proportioning valves Master cylinder Parking brake linkage and cables Self-adjusters Springs The following anti-lock braking system (ABS) parts: wheel sensors, modulator, modulator solenoids, electronic control unit, accumulator, pressure switch, and power unit (pump)Seals and gaskets Electrical & Sensors Alternator Voltage regulator Solenoids Relays Ignition system (excluding cap, rotor, high-tension wires and spark plugs)Meters Displays Instrument cluster bulbs (does not include clock and dash bulbs, gauge light bulbs, air conditioning panel, radio display or manually operated switch bulbs)Engine and cabin wiring harnesses Horns Electronic auto-dimming rearview mirror Resistors All electronic control units, including, but not limited to, engine management,transmission, fuel delivery, ABS, SRS,power windows, rear defroster andfactory-installed security systems."

Flag When does a warranty begin on a new car the date of manufacture or the date of purchase by the customer? Answer by Kberta Confidence votes 33warranty begins on day of purchase by original owner. if u buy a used car that should still be in original warranty, dont rely on manufacturer, honoring the warranty, as you are not original purchaser i have found it is difficult to get proper warranty work even if original purchaser, which is why extra warranties can be bought.most manufactureres warranties have the small print that basically says original purchaser, and not transferrable to second purchaser It begins the day of purchase by the original customer. The warranty begins at the time of sale If this was a Used Vehicle, then the warranty date began the day it was put into service. So if you bought it used and it was 2 years old, you would have a year of the warranty left with most auto manufacturers, as long as the number of miles have NOT been exceeded. If you buy a vehicle used and it has gone over the mileage allowed by the initial vehicle warranty, then you are out of luck unless you bought extra warranty coverage at the time of purchase. If you are confident that you are within the period of the initial warranty, then contact the manufacturer directly - GM, Chrysler, Ford, Mazda, Toyota all have Customer Service numbers that you can call to lodge a complaint. They will investigate and contact a local dealer to help you. Warranty coverage on the veh begins when your state Dept of Motor vehs registers the veh as sold."

"text": "What is a Powertrain Warranty and Why Does it Matter?by Jason Unrau on June 02, 2016Share Tweet Pin Let’s face it - cars aren’t an investment. When you buy a car, it costs you money. When you register and insure it, you spend more. You take out your wallet to put gas in the tank and get routine maintenance performed. Vehicles are an expense from every angle and you’re going to want any assistance you can get with those expenses. Whether you’ve bought a new car, a used car with remaining warranty, or you’re in the market for a replacement vehicle, there’s no question that you’re going to consider the car’s warranty. After your car-buying experience, you want the assurance that there won’t be any major expenses for some time after you fork over your cash. Warranties aren’t as straightforward as they may initially seem. While the car you are looking at is advertised to have warranty, do you know what that actually covers? It could include: Accessory coverage Audio component warranty Battery coverage Comprehensive warranty (often referred to as new car warranty or “bumper-to-bumper”)Emissions warranty Powertrain warranty Roadside assistance Rust warranty We’re going to focus on the powertrain warranty as it’s often advertised as the warranty term with the longest coverage."

"text": "\"Car Warranty Secure your car with car warranty insurance By Anita Shargall on Tuesday 14 November 2017Discover how car warranties work and how to find the policy that is right for you. Understanding car warranties A car warranty, or mechanical breakdown insurance (MBI), will protect you from unexpected repair bills in case your car experiences a mechanical breakdown or electrical failure. Some warranties will also cover wear and tear. The type of car warranty depends largely on whether you have a new or used car, and might even be included when you purchase your vehicle. How does a car warranty work? Should your car develop mechanical issues that require fixing, the cost of repairs at a garage can be an unexpected financial blow. A car warranty policy can protect you from this. As different policies cover different things, it’s crucial that you read the terms and conditions of your warranty so that you know exactly what protection it offers you. You should also check the claims limit, as this is the most the insurer will pay for repairs if you make a claim. A good comprehensive warranty will cover problems that arise with the: Engine Brake system parts Gearbox Cool system Steering Fuel system Suspension Ignition system Clutch Transmission system Car warranty exclusions However, a car warranty might not cover everything."

Most used car warranties are limited and their coverage varies. A full warranty includes the following terms and conditions: Anyone who owns the vehicle during the warranty period is entitled to warranty service. Warranty service will be provided free of charge, including such costs as removing and reinstalling a covered system. You have the choice of a replacement or a full refund if, after a reasonable number of tries, the dealer cannot repair the vehicle or a covered system. You only have to tell the dealer that warranty service is needed in order to get it, unless the dealer can prove that it is reasonable to require you to do more. Implied warranties have no time limits. If any of these statements doesn't apply, the warranty is limited. A full or limited warranty doesn't have to cover the entire vehicle.

Think about your driving habits, your needs, and your budget. You can learn about car models, options, and prices by reading newspaper ads, both display and classified. There is a wealth of information about used cars on the Internet: enter “used car” as the key words and you’ll find additional information on how to buy a used car, detailed instructions for conducting a pre-purchase inspection, and ads for cars available for sale, among other information. Libraries and book stores also have publications that compare car models, options, and costs, and offer information about frequency-of-repair records, safety tests, and mileage. Many of these publications have details on the do’s and don’ts of buying a used car. Payment Options You have two choices: pay in full or finance over time. If you finance, the total cost of the car increases. That’s because you’re also paying for the cost of credit, which includes interest and other loan costs."

"text": "\"If you’ve spent any time online searching for a used car, you’ve probably seen ads for manufacturer-backed \"\"certified pre-owned\"\" (CPO) programs offered through dealerships. While you may be tempted to avoid heading to the dealer—cars for sale by private owners can be found all over Craigslist and other third-party sites—a CPO vehicle can be a good choice for some buyers. Here, we’ve compiled a guide that explains the pros and cons of the CPO market, along with detailed coverage of the programs offered by each manufacturer. What Is a CPO Vehicle, Anyway? Unlike vehicles acquired through a private seller or those purchased from independent used-car dealers, CPO vehicles are inspected according to the manufacturer’s standards and carry a manufacturer-backed warranty that usually extends the length of the new-car coverage. They’re sold through licensed new-car dealers and typically have age and mileage limits, helping to ensure that they still have some pep in their step when you take the wheel. CPO vehicles have come to be an important contributor to automaker revenue, with the programs showing several years of annual growth—and several more expected. After all, the programs offer dealers a chance to make money again on what they’ve already sold once, a proposition any salesperson would be foolish to turn down. What Are the Benefits? It’s not all a conspiracy contrived to take your money, however."

"text": "A utility locator uses maps, schematics, and hand-held electronic devices to identify underground utility lines. He or she marks points with paint or flags to inform construction workers and homeowners of their exact locations. Their work helps prevent accidental utility damage and personal injury from digging projects. Utility locators are skilled at finding freshwater and sewer lines, power cables, natural gas mains, and other subsurface systems. Most professionals are employed by city government agencies, but some work for utility companies, construction firms, and private specialty businesses. Utility locators drive to prospective construction sites in cities or rural areas to designate where digging might potentially disrupt pipes and conduits. In order to find lines, a locator might study a visual diagram or written instructions provided by the utility company. He or she needs to possess strong basic math and blueprint reading skills to make sure directions are followed properly. The utility locator may confirm that a map is accurate by carefully digging around a site to expose a line. Some agencies provide electronic mapping systems to help locators in their work."

The placement of the end of a garden hose in a child’s swimming pool while filling it creates a cross connection. Likewise, placing the end of a garden hose in a backyard fish pond or vehicle radiator creates a cross connection. Consider a leaking water main below a roadside ditch that contains sewer septic tank discharges. Waste water can easily seep through the soils to the perimeter of the water main. If the water main is cracked or broken at this location, is this considered a cross connection? Absolutely! If the line is taken out of service due to a break in the line, the static pressure of the waste water may be enough to create a backflow incident."

Moisture destroys mobile homes more than any other factor, other than vandalism. As the home is made of the minimum materials allowable under HUD, there is not much room for error, and moisture can take and buckle a mobile home floor, or rot the exterior siding, in a fairly short period of time. Before the home even arrives, it is important that the lot be set up so that no water can stand under the home. The area where the home is to sit should be built up of dirt so that it is higher than the adjoining area. Additionally, there should be no drainage that runs under the house, such as a creek or stream that feeds a creek."

With improved land, there is a lot that you can take for granted. You know that it has an access to a road, since you can usually see it, and you can easily tell if it has utilities. Vacant land, on the other hand, requires you to research what it has available and what it does not. Utilities that Serve Land Most people want some basic services when they occupy a piece of property. The key utilities are electric service, telephone service and, somewhat less frequently, water and sewer service. Other utilities can include cable television service and natural gas, although these two types of infrastructure are relatively rare in sparsely developed rural areas. What Nearby Utilities Mean The term \"\"nearby utilities\"\" is in the eye of the beholder.

A utility sink is usually located in a garage, mud room, laundry room or general utility room. Typical costs: Costs for utility sinks vary based on size, depth and the quality of materials. A basic one-basin, no-frills utility sink of heavy-duty plastic or fiberglass runs about $50-$150. One- or two-basin units of stainless steel or cast iron range from $150-$900 or more and extremely durable commercial-grade utility sinks with options such as more than one set of faucets or a built-in cabinet can be $1,000-$3,000 or more. There can be additional costs of $100-$300 or more for materials if the hook-ups and vents are not already in place, depending on what's needed to tie into existing water, sewer and venting systems. The cost to have a plumber install a standard utility sink where basic hook-ups and vents are already in place runs about $200-$500, assuming no extensive new piping or venting is required, but it can cost more if extensive work is needed. If the utility tub hookups are not already in place, materials and professional installation averages $500-$800 but can be $900-$1,300 or more, depending on what's required to properly hook up to existing plumbing and venting systems. Related articles: Bathroom Sink, Kitchen Sink, Installing a Gas Line What should be included: Utility sinks generally have a deep rectangular basin compared to the more circular and shallower bathroom sinks. Many utility sinks have legs or a cabinet to make them stand-alone units, but they can also be mounted from the wall or floor."

In essence, the haplogroups are not calculated in the same way, and the data at Family Tree DNA is much more extensive. Understanding the differences is key to comparing and understanding results.

You can think of it as something you’re entitled to given your service to our nation. This is certainly a hard-earned and well-deserved benefit. But that’s not what it really means, at least in practical terms. Veterans who are eligible for a VA loan have an entitlement, which is basically a dollar amount the VA promises to repay back to a lender in the event you default on your mortgage. Check out our detailed look at the VA loan process here. The basic, or primary, entitlement is $36,000. Two Entitlement Types VA loan entitlement is basically how much the government promises to repay if you default on a VA home loan. The VA in most cases pledges to repay up to a quarter of the loan amount, which is a financial guaranty. Math was never my strong suit, but it’s pretty easy to see that $36,000 x 4 = $144,000."

"text": "\"Money VA Loans The VA Jumbo Loan Grant Moon VA loans have specific rules that a lender must follow when evaluating a VA loan application. Affordability needs to be determined by calculating debt to income ratios, a number arrived at dividing monthly obligations by monthly income. Credit is checked either by reviewing a credit score, documenting payment history, or both. And one other thing, the lender sets a maximum VA loan amount. Is there such a thing as a VA jumbo mortgage? VA Rules It needs to be noted at the outset, that the Department of Veteran's Affairs does not establish a maximum VA loan limit. The VA issues a guarantee to a VA lender that represents 25 percent of the loan amount, or four times the available entitlement. Today, that entitlement amount is $36,000 for a guarantee of 25 percent of $144,000. In reality however, the VA guarantees 25 percent of all VA loans up to $453,100.

"text": "VA Loan Credit Score Requirements By Liz Clinger Updated on 7/31/2017The credit requirements for the VA home loan program are lenient. However, applicants must still meet the credit and income criteria established by the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA). While the VA has not set a minimum credit score requirement, most lenders typically impose their restrictions on qualifying FICO scores, and these restrictions have tightened since the real estate market collapse of 2007. Today, most lenders expect a credit score of at least 620, though higher scores will secure the best mortgage rates. VA Credit Requirements:580: Minimum credit score required for 100% financing.620: Acceptable credit score for some mortgage lenders.640: Typical minimum credit score required by most lenders. VA Loan Credit Issues Although credit score does play a significant role in the application process for any loan, there are several other factors which can diminish an applicant’s chances of securing a loan. Applicants who have credit-damaging events such as bankruptcy or foreclosure may have difficulty qualifying, though they may still receive a VA loan under certain circumstances. Here is a list of credit issues which should be addressed before considering a VA guaranteed loan: Late Payments In the process of approving a loan, the Department of Veteran Affairs will examine a borrower’s credit history, specifically history of payment. As with all loans, borrowers who have consistently paid on time for 12 months before applying for a VA loan will have a decent chance of securing a loan, as this demonstrates responsibility and willingness to fulfill financial obligations. By contrast, borrowers who frequently make late payments and accumulate delinquencies will find acquiring a VA loan to be a difficult endeavor as lenders will hesitate to offer a loan to a weak candidate."

You can take advantage of a manufacturer’s warranty on your cell phone, your computer or even your car when buying them brand new. Some products like cars and trucks even offer extended warranties a buyer can purchase when the car’s not brand new. It’s logical to assume the same would be true for a home purchase with a VA mortgage. But what’s the reality? When a buyer applies for a VA loan to buy their dream home, they learn the property must first pass a VA appraisal, which helps the Department of Veterans Affairs determine if the home meets VA standards for health and safety. Then the appraiser can establish the fair market value. Buyers might assume that their home purchase is protected by some kind of warranty, but the truth is that the VA only requires a warranty in specific instances. New construction, for example, is covered by a one-year builder’s warranty."

No down payment is required. No PMI is required, although a guaranty fee is due to VA on most loans. Receipt of service connected disability payments usually provides an exemption. Unmarried partners may NOT receive this benefit unless that person is also a veteran.

Kate Dore Introduction If you’re among the one million homeowners who lost a home to foreclosure between 2007 and 2008, you may be starting to think about re-entering the housing market. If you went through a foreclosure during the earlier part of the financial crisis, it may no longer be on your credit report, and you may be qualified to try and become a homebuyer again. If you lost your home more recently, along with five million other Americans between 2007 and 2014, it’s never too early to start preparing yourself for the qualification process. The three major credit reporting firms, Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union, begin reporting your foreclosure once a lender says you have missed your first payment, and you will have to wait seven years before it is removed. However, there are a variety of different mortgage options available, with varying eligibility requirements, and some have shorter waiting periods that you may be able to take advantage of if you qualify.

Additionally, qualified VA borrowers are not required to buy mortgage insurance since the loan is guaranteed. Borrowers may even use home-finding agents to locate properties so long as they do not charge buyers for commissions. Veterans and spouses can qualify for purchase loans, rate-reduction refinance loans, and cash-out refinancing. The government regulates the closing costs for both borrowers and lenders, so it’s good to know what fees are included and which ones veterans have to pay. VA Borrower’s Responsibilities According to the VA, the borrower may pay for: VA Appraisals (re-appraisals).

This benefit – most praised by homebuyers for offering $0 down, low rates and removing the added cost of mortgage insurance – is made possible by the Department of Veterans Affairs guaranteeing a portion of each loan in case of default. Veterans who are eligible for a VA loan have what is referred to as VA Loan entitlement, which is a specific amount that the Department of Veterans Affairs promises to guarantee. This entitlement is what gives lenders the confidence to extend VA Loan financing with exceptional rates and terms. However, to be eligible for the VA Loan, potential homebuyers must first meet the basic service requirements. VA Loan Service Requirements Service requirements fall into two categories: wartime and peacetime. Potential homebuyers must satisfy only one of the service requirements set forth by the Department of Veterans Affairs to be eligible for a VA Loan. These service requirements state that veterans who served during wartime must have been on active duty for at least 90 consecutive days. Conversely, those who served during peacetime must have served a minimum of 181 days. Veterans of the National Guard or Reserves must have served for at least six years unless otherwise eligible."

"text": "Close Second-tier Entitlement and VA Loans Veterans and active duty military with a VA Home Loan might be surprised to know that they can qualify to purchase a home with a second VA Loan based on what’s called their Second-Tier Entitlement. While there’s plenty to know about the VA Loan for those just looking to use it the first time, there’s a dearth of information about using two VA Loans simultaneously. “A lot of vets think they can only use their VA Loan once,” said Dan Davis, a VA Loan Specialist with VAMortgage Center. Com. “ They’re trying to save their VA Loan benefit when they don’t have to be. ”The VA does allow for having two VA Loans at the same time, however the borrower must qualify for the second loan and in some cases, may need two years of rental history on the first home to offset the mortgage payment when trying to get qualified income-wise to purchase a second home. Each borrower using a VA Loan has a $36,000 entitlement that the VA guarantees to the lender in the unfortunate event that a borrower would default on the loan. The VA’s formula dictates whether or not all that entitlement is used with the initial loan, and thus, additional entitlement can be available. And even if the entitlement is $0 after the purchase of the first house, then the Veteran or active duty member can still use their second-tier entitlement, but there will be a standard minimum and maximum loan limits on what the borrower can use to buy that second house. Often that minimum is $144,000 as set by the VA, and the maximum loan amount is around $260,000 for second-tier entitlement, however the formula is applied when calculating the second-tier entitlement, and that formula can result in a higher maximum loan amount."

"text": "How does a VA home loan work? The Department of Veterans Affairs does not issue VA Home Loans, but guarantees a portion of each mortgage to be paid in the event that the purchaser is unable to fulfill the loan. Interested homebuyers can apply with approved banks and financial institutions, which have the ability to extend financing on homes through the VA Loan program. The VA Home Loan program is specifically for veterans, active military and surviving military spouses, although there are a few basic service requirements each must initially meet. Those interested likely meet the service requirements if the potential homebuyer served 181 days on active duty during peacetime; 90 days on active duty during wartime; or served six years in the Reserves or National Guard - unless otherwise eligible. How can I qualify for a VA loan? To qualify for a VA Loan a potential homebuyer should first prequalify with a VA approved lender. Prequalification takes less than 10 minutes and will provide you with a starting point on if you qualify for the VA Loan. Following prequalification, is preapproval. Preapproval is a much more detailed look at a homebuyer’s financial portfolio – requiring bank statements, tax returns and pay stubs – that will provide a snapshot of the potential amount you qualify for."

"text": "Despite their $0 down payment benefit, VA loans have been the most foreclosure-resistant mortgage product for most of the last eight years. Still, some veterans and military members do default on their hard-earned VA home loans. But military borrowers still have a shot at becoming homeowners after a VA home loan foreclosure. Understanding credit and VA loan entitlement are key parts of bouncing back. After Defaulting on a VA Loan The reality is it’s possible to get another VA loan after experiencing a foreclosure, a short sale or a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. You’ll typically need to wait two years in order to pursue a new mortgage. Some lenders, including Veterans United, don’t have a waiting period following a short sale in most cases, as long as it’s clear the borrower wasn’t trying to take advantage of the market. FHA homeowners who experience a short sale may not be able to move forward right away. Defaulting on federal debt can force would-be buyers to wait three years before being eligible for a VA-backed home loan. Check out this article to learn more about how delinquency and default on federal debts can affect your home loan chances."

"text": "\"What Good is a Vacuole?written by: Paul Arnold •edited by: Paul Arnold •updated: 11/27/2009Tucked away inside the cytoplasm of plant and animal cells are little pockets called vacuoles. More than just empty spaces, these tiny membrane-bound organelles carry out a number of important functions that help to keep the cells that surround them alive. What Does a Vacuole Do? Vacuoles are shape shifters - they don't have a pre-determined shape, size or structure. Instead, the form they take depends on the contents they house. Their structure is simple - essentially a membrane surrounds a fluid-filled mass, and that fluid depends on what's going in and out of the cell. What good is a vacuole? A vacuole acts like a rubbish bin, it contains waste products that might damage the cell. It's a proactive little garbage collector in that it isolates and absorbs potentially harmful material, and it also helps to eject unwanted substances from the cell. It also helps to maintain acidic p H levels as well as the cell's hydrostatic pressure."

"text": "Animal and plant cells have some key similarities and noted differences. Understanding basic cell structure helps to understand how the cells differ from each other, and they do differ in important ways, as plant cells provide different functions for the plant than animal cells provide for the body. Both types of cells have some similar structural elements. First, they are both eukaryotic, which means they have a defined nucleus. The nucleus contains chromosomes. It is protected and surrounded by the cytoplasm, which is a watery or gel-like liquid. Further, both types of cells have a cell membrane that surrounds the cell. This allows for the cell to exert control, in most cases, over what can penetrate the cell, and what cannot. One of the primary differences between animal and plant cells is that these have a cell wall made up of cellulose. This helps the cell to allow high pressure to build inside of it, without bursting."

Reason THE Golgi bodies in this cell appears to be doing nothing, however, this is a highly specific subcellular organelle that processes important substances for the cell, obtaining them initially from the ER and detaching vesicles to send them to the plasma membrane. There's more to it than this, but this Golgi appears to be getting proteins from the vacuole and modifying them to be sent to the nucleus? Or maybe it is getting stuff from the r ER around the nucleus and sending it to the vacuole, but the Golgi vesicles don't appear to be coming from the ER? It's hard to tell, but it's not Golgi that's going on. The Golgi needs to be accurate, cause this cell won't live.

Sure, the real organelles will be active and moving in a real cell, but this cannot be accurately depicted in a static two dimensional system. Perhaps if we had a diagram that depicted this, it would be beneficial to the project, just as this image is.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙) 09:44, 16 June 2008 (UTC)No, sorry, that's not correct, the Golgi body does not gather substances from the vacuole, but rather takes proteins from the rough Endoplastic Reticulum, processes them further, then distributes them in Golgi vessicleen towards the plasma membrane."

Plant biology explains how these green friends function and what biological mechanisms contribute to their existence. One of the most important elements of the plant make-up is the vacuole. Vacuoles are found both in animal and plant cells but they are much larger in plant cells than animal cells. In the course an Introduction to Biology learn more about the plant and animal biology basics. Vacuole Functions Vacuoles (pronounced vak-q-ols) are fundamental components to the survival of a plant. They are, by definition, membrane bound organelles which are present in all plant and fungal cells."

( April 2014) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)A vacuum breaker is an attachment commonly placed on a bibcock valve or toilet or urinal flush valve, that prevents water from being siphoned backward into the public drinking water system. This prevents contamination should the public drinking water system's pressure drop. A vacuum breaker typically contains a plastic disc that is pressed forward by water supply pressure, and covers small vent holes. Should the supply pressure drop, the disc springs back opening the vent holes (which let in outside air), and preventing backflow of water. A more complex valve that accomplishes much the same purpose is the backflow preventer. Vacuum relief valves are sometimes known as vacuum breakers.

Irrigation backflow devices are designed for installation on potable water lines to protect against both back-siphonage and back-pressure of contaminated water into the potable water supply. Backflow assemblies provide protection where potential health hazards exist. Sprinkler System Backflow Prevention Devices Sprinkler system backflow prevention devices are safety mechanisms to prevent contaminants from entering water supplies. These devices connect to your sprinkler system and are an important safety feature. They are required by law in many areas, but even if not required, they are still a good idea. The on and off valves included in sprinkler systems are not enough to prevent backflow. These valves can break or develop leaks, and if this happens to a sprinkler system without a backflow preventer device, all the chemicals from the irrigation water (fertilizers, pesticides, animal wastes, etc.) will flow back into the water supply. The chemicals in irrigation systems are potentially toxic and can be hazardous or even deadly."

The water that is used by your irrigation system is supplied by the same source as the water you drink, cook and bathe with. Pesticides, fertilizers and/or animal feces can collect in water pooled around your sprinkler heads, creating a potential for the contaminants to be drawn back through the sprinkler irrigation system (by means of Backflow or backsiphonage) and into your home. It is for this reason that you must have a properly functioning Backflow Prevention Assembly protecting your drinking water. Why do I need my \"\"Backflow Prevention Assembly\"\" tested annually? Backflow Prevention Assemblies and Devices break or wear out, just like the parts of a car. By having your Backflow Prevention Assembly tested annually, you will help to ensure that the drinking water supplied to your home remains safe.

"text": "Introduction: EVMWD customers expect high quality water that is pure and healthful. Water purveyors spend millions of dollars to purify and treat water before it is delivered to consumers. However, many consumers are not aware that District personnel work diligently to protect potable water from pollution and contamination as it flows through the distribution system. Cross-Connections and Backflow Prevention: Unprotected cross-connections can pollute or contaminate potable water on a customer’s property or the distribution system from backflow. Examples of cross-connections are a water supply line connected to equipment containing a non-potable (unfit to drink) substance, or the end of a hose submerged in a bucket containing cleaning solution (Photo). Using a garden hose without backflow prevention can pollute or contaminate a water system from backsiphonage. Backflow is a reversal in the normal flow of water within a potable water system. Water systems are designed to allow water to flow in one direction from sources, such as a treatment plant or well, to the points of use. Examples of points of use are landscape irrigation system, hose spigot, sink faucet, or toilet. One cause of backflow is backsiphonage."

AFCI standards were introduced in the 1999 NEC (National Electrical Code) and are required in new dwelling construction and when installing new circuits in an existing dwelling. AFCI and GFCI protection devices may look similar, but perform very different functions to protect against different dangers. Continue reading to learn where and when AFCI must be provided. Steps1 Determine the structure type. If circuits are installed in a space for use other than a dwelling unit, AFCI is not required (commercial and industrial spaces are not required to have AFCI protection). AFCI protection is required only in dwelling units (apartments, homes, manufactured homes, RVs and mobile homes).2 Identify circuit destinations. All 120 volt / 15 or 20 amp branch circuits supplying outlets (includes both lighting outlets and receptacle outlets) in dwelling unit family rooms, dining rooms, living rooms, parlors, libraries, dens, bedrooms, sun rooms, recreation rooms, closets, hallways, or similar rooms or areas shall be protected by a listed arc fault circuit interrupter. This means that nearly every habitable space in new homes are required to have this protection.3 Determine if an exemption applies.

"text": "Plumbing Repair Basics Pressure Vacuum Breaker Basics Plumbing Basics By Aaron Stickley Updated 04/17/17Share Pin Email Amazon.com A pressure vacuum breaker is an important component of irrigation systems. What a pressure vacuum breaker does is to provide protection against backflow or back siphoning of water. This irrigation component keeps non-potable water from inadvertently entering the water supply through outlets of the irrigation system. Reasons To Use A Pressure Vacuum Breaker There are several good reasons to install a pressure vacuum breaker as part of an irrigation system. The first reason is that most local building codes require the use of a backflow prevention device on all water systems. A pressure vacuum breaker is an affordable backflow option for use in residential irrigation systems. Contamination of the water supply can have wide-ranging effects so prevention is very important. Since there is usually only one water system in the home for both drinking/household use and irrigation use there is always the risk contamination through cross-connections. Therefore, safety is another very important reason to use a pressure vacuum breaker in the home. When installing a new irrigation system check local codes for specific backflow prevention requirements and find out if a permit is required."

It is also required by the Virginia Department of Health’s (VDH) Waterworks Regulations. As your water system operator we are required to have this program as a condition for the issuance of our water system operator’s license.2. What is a cross-connection? A cross-connection is any temporary or permanent connection between a public water system or consumer’s potable (i.e., drinking) water system and any source or system containing nonpotable water or other substances. An example is the piping between a public water system or consumer’s potable water system and an auxiliary water system, cooling system, well, or irrigation system.3. What is backflow? Backflow is the undesirable reversal of flow of nonpotable water or other substances through a cross-connection and into the piping of a public water system or consumer’s potable water system."

The bellows in the suction pump is shaped like an acordian. Imagine an acordian that had the bellows seems all clogged with something. You could not close it. Same principle, the pump is trying to make the bellows go up and down but it can not go down (or compress) because the bellows seems are clogged holding the bellows at full open.

"text": "Building a Strong Street Machine – Part 5: Pontiac Camshafts March 16th, 2010 Posted in Building A Strong Street Machine . Technical Articles By D. A. P. A Write comment I’m always trying to improve the quarter-mile performance of my 1971 455 Le Mans wagon, while retaining derivability, a 3.55:1 axle ratio, and a 5,500-rpm shift point. I recently tried several custom-ground cams, and I want to share the results with you. “Performance”, as used in this article, includes idle quality in the 550 to 700 rpm range, throttle feel, and driving ease, in addition to actual quarter-mile elapsed times and speeds. I’d like to discuss basic camshaft operation, nomenclature, and application information for cams in Pontiac street and street/strip cars as well as the results of the cam changes on the Le Mans wagon. Race-engine cam design and usage is significantly different and will be touched on only briefly. Cams are vitally important to an engine’s performance, and a cam change must be carefully evaluated in order to obtain the expected benefits. Pontiac Engineering developed excellent cams for the various applications they were faced with in the glory days of the first musclecar era. Strong low-end performance will degrade the upper rpm range. Conversely, good top-end power comes at the expense of low end torque."

Symptoms of a faulty distributor would be misfiring (either not firing at all, or firing at the wrong times). What were the symptoms that pointed your mechanic towards injectors, throttle body etc. in the first place? If it was some kind of jerking or hesitation, you might be right in thinking it could be an ignition problem. It could also be shot valves, though. 2) As your car is now 15 years old, it is possible that the clutch plates in the auto 'box, that transfer the drive to the wheels might be worn out."

Transmission types Manual Sequential manual Non-synchronous Preselector Automatic Manumatic Semi-automatic Electrohydraulic Saxomat Dual-clutch Continuously variable Bicycle gearing Derailleur gears Hub gearsv t e An 8-gear automatic transmission Cutaway showing the typical positioning of an automatic transmission from the interior of an automobile An automatic transmission, also called auto, self-shifting transmission, n -speed automatic (where n is its number of forward gear ratios), or AT, is a type of motor vehicle transmission that can automatically change gear ratios as the vehicle moves, freeing the driver from having to shift gears manually. Like other transmission systems on vehicles, it allows an internal combustion engine, best suited to run at a relatively high rotational speed, to provide a range of speed and torque outputs necessary for vehicular travel. The number of forward gear ratios is often expressed for manual transmissions as well (e.g., 6-speed manual). The most popular form found in automobiles is the hydraulic automatic transmission. Similar but larger devices are also used for heavy-duty commercial and industrial vehicles and equipment. This system uses a fluid coupling in place of a friction clutch, and accomplishes gear changes by hydraulically locking and unlocking a system of planetary gears. These systems have a defined set of gear ranges, often with a parking pawl that locks the output shaft of the transmission to keep the vehicle from rolling either forward or backward. Some machines with limited speed ranges or fixed engine speeds, such as some forklifts and lawn mowers, only use a torque converter to provide a variable gearing of the engine to the wheels."

"text": "\"It is best to follow the Severe Service maintenance schedules found in most new car owner's manuals, with a few exceptions: Air filters need to be inspected regularly and replaced as often as needed, regardless of mileage or time. Dirty air filters can increase fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. Fuel filters should be replaced yearly and/or at every tune-up, especially on fuel injected cars. The fuel filter in a vehicle with electronic fuel injection passes a much larger volume of fuel than its counterpart in a carbureted application. If the tank is dirty or rusty, constant fuel recirculation can pick up a lot of debris that ends up in the filter. If the filter plugs, the engine is starved for fuel or unfiltered fuel is allowed to bypass the filter. The latter can damage injectors. Oil filters need to be replaced at every oil change (every six months or 3,000 miles in most cases) despite the advice in many owner's manuals to only change the filter at every other oil change. A new filter is cheap insurance against major engine damage, so why take unnecessary risks? Automatic Transmission Fluid Filter - Few owner's manuals have a suggested change interval for the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) or fluid filter unless the vehicle is used for towing."

Those who have been in other cars when their oxygen sensor failed can feel grateful for this feature, though it can be confusing - for example, in some (maybe all) models, the automatic transmission is limited to second gear!

"text": "Valve Body Transmission Problemsby Amy Rodriguez The valve body is a part of an automatic transmission that aids in the gear shifting process. But, like any mechanical device, problems may affect the valve body. Function The valve body controls the timing of the gears within an automatic transmission. It uses a combination of fluid pressure detection and hydraulic signaling to control the changing of gears and the activation of the clutch. Significance Though many parts can fail on an automatic transmission, symptoms of a damaged valve body include incorrectly timed gear shifts, or no shifting at all. The valve body consists of multiple springs and valves; if the springs fail, the valves cannot open and close. Considerations A repair technician may rely on diagnostics tools to detect damaged components in a vehicle. If the valve body fails, an error code is sent to the vehicle's on-board computer. The diagnostics tool will read the code and offer assistance with the best repair strategy.

An interesting footnote is the C4’s status as the first automatic transmission ever designed and actually produced by Ford Motor Company. It is one of the easiest automatic transmissions to rebuild and modify because it is so simple and there are a lot of seasoned racers and builders who know a lot about this transmission and how to get it to perform.

I know that a flush will cost more but this will allow a more thorough replacement of all of your tranny fluid. I’d also recommend that you look in your owner’s manual or check with Nissan and only use what they specify. The biggest mistake you could make is allowing one of these ‘specialists’ to put in whatever it is that they think ‘should work’. Good luck with your choice."

"text": "\"Check out some other projects from our technical library: One of the less common maintenance tasks that are performed on a car is changing the transmission fluid. Typically, you'll want to change the fluid every 80,000 miles or so along with the filter in the transmission. In the 1990's, there were more than a few major automobile manufacturers advertising that they had developed transmissions that required no fluid changes. The fluid inside was considered to be \"\"lifetime\"\" oil, meaning that it never needed to be changed. Over the years, it seems that this may have been an overly ambitious claim. Originally, Mercedes specified that the 722.6 transmission was \"\"sealed for life.\"\" This means that Mercedes has not specified a fluid/filter change interval. However, it appears that Mercedes has changed the \"\"sealed for life\"\" recommendation gradually by adding more frequent service in later model years. There seems to be a couple different schools of thought when it comes to \"\"lifetime\"\" oil. Some people have said that you don't want to change the oil in the transmission because the increased viscosity of the new fluid can dislodge particles of dirt inside the transmission, clogging the new filter in a matter of miles."

"text": "\"Adding ballast to the front tires is a cheap and easy way to make a buggy climb better as long as you are willing to put up with a few tradeoffs. Typical ballast material is either water or metal shot, I have always used water, the metal shot was first done on competition rigs to avoid spilling fluids on the courses (which would result in a penalty). Metal shot is much harder to get in and out of the tires so I won't be covering how that is done. What are the benefits? Adding water to the tires results in adding weight below the axle centerline which is the best possible place to add weight to a buggy. The added weight will noticeably lower the center of gravity of the rig which makes the rig more stable. Traction is also effected thanks to the extra weight on the tire contact patch. Lastly the weight in the tire will help pull it down when you are climbing steep obstacles. A great place to demonstrate the benefits to climbing is the large waterfall on Collateral Damage. Without water in the front tires I cannot crawl the fall as my front tires lift if I stay far to the left."

"text": "Cars & Transportation Maintenance & Repairs Do I need to buy Valve Stems when replacing Wheels/Rims? Is it really necessary? or can I just use the current ones? Because from what I know is when you buy new tires their included already so since I will not be replacing my tries does that mean I can still use the current valve stems? Follow 2 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: you know at some point in your life, you need to learn the difference between reality and safety, and being cheap and trying to save a few bucks. First of all, you dont rip a rupper valve stem out of a used wheel, and cram it in a new one. Once a valve stem has been inserted in a rim, it the only way to remove it is by force. Rubber deteriorates over time, it dries and gets brittle eventually. There is a reason they replace rubber valve stems, and no, its not to make money off of you. Its for your safety to change them about every 5 years anyway."

Over time and because of constant use, seals inside the stem wear away, which can lead to leaks either at the handle or the tub spigot. Replacing the stem is a simple job if you have the correct tools and about a half-hour of time. Doing this repair yourself can save you the headache of finding and paying a plumber.1Turn off the water supply to the shower/tub before attempting any repairs; the shut-off valve may be in the bathroom, basement or under your home's foundation. Turn the faucet handle to remove any standing water in the plumbing.2Locate the center screw that secures the handle to the shower stem. Remove a possible decorative cap at the center of the handle by using a small flat-head screwdriver. Turn the center screw counterclockwise to remove it.3Remove the handle from the stem by pulling it straight out from the shower/tub wall. Remove any escutcheon, which is the decorative casing around the stem, that may surround the stem and stem hole. To remove the escutcheon, you may be able to pull it off or you might have to unthread it by hand, depending on the shower/tub handle design.4Slide the correct-size tub and shower socket over the stem of the shower valve. When it is tightly fitted over the hex head of the stem, attach an adjustable wrench to the back end of the tub/shower stem socket.5Turn the wrench counterclockwise to loosen and remove the stem."

"text": "\"Brake Valves: Operation & Service, Bill Williams, Brake & Front End, May 2000Brake valving represents the least understood area of the conventional brake system. There are several reasons for this.• They are thought to be \"\"bulletproof\"\" and last forever;• You need special tools to check them;• They won't affect normal brake operation; and• Most training does not cover them in any detail. For these reasons and others, most technicians do not take the time to understand what role each of these valves plays in the operation of the brake system. Not having an understanding of this prevents the technician from knowing when to add these valves to the list of possible causes when diagnosing a specific brake problem. These valves can and do fail depending on the valve's design and location on the vehicle. There are three main types of brake valves in use on today's brake systems: metering valves, proportioning valves and pressure difference switches. Although not actually a valve, the pressure differential switch is usually grouped together with brake valves when discussing brake system operation. Before we proceed, we have to get some terminology straight. The valve pictured in Figure 1 is not a proportioning valve. The entire valve assembly is called a combination valve."

"text": "Understanding Valve Stems So what is a valve stem, and why is it so important? Valve stems are a basic feature of wheels and play a critical role in tire and wheel safety. They are necessary to keep your tires inflated and allow you to add or remove air as needed. How Does a Valve Stem Work? Valve stems are made up of a body, core, and a cap. The valve core is the inner sealing portion of the valve stem that prevents air loss. The valve core should be tightened into the valve body for a proper seal. While the valve cap helps prevent air loss with a rubber seal inside the cap, it’s main function is to keep dirt and debris from getting into the stem and contaminating or corroding the valve core. If moisture gets inside the valve stem and freezes, it can cause air loss and/or a flat tire. The rubber components of valve stems can dry out and crack over time, causing air leaks or total air loss."

"text": "\"Edit Article How to Replace a Bathroom Faucet Handle Sometimes the handle of a bathroom faucet is put on incorrectly so it doesn't rest in the correct position when the faucet is off. Other times the faucet handle may crack, discolor or otherwise look old, while still functioning. In either of these cases, the faucet handle can be replaced with a new one, without replacing the rest of the faucet. Steps1 Turn off the water supply to the faucet. Look beneath the sink for a valve close to the wall on the same side as the handle you are replacing. If this is a single handle faucet, turn off both supplies. When you locate them, twist the water supply valve or valves tightly to the right.2 Test the faucet to ensure no water comes out when the handle to be replaced is turned.3 Examine the cap or top of the handle. Typically faucet handles have a false top or cap. This may be a porcelain cap that reads \"\"hot\"\" or \"\"cold,\"\" or it may be a metal cap in the same finish as the rest of the handle.4 Use a flat head screwdriver to loosen the cap and pry it up.5 Look at the area hidden beneath the cap for a screw.6 Use the appropriate screwdriver to loosen and remove this screw.7 Lift off the handle of the faucet from its stem.8 Look at the back of the escutcheon or decorative cover at the bottom of the handle. There should be a very small hole with an Allen key screw in the back.9 Use an Allen key to loosen and remove this screw.10 Lift the escutcheon off of the counter."

"text": "How To Replace a Tire Valve Stemby Eduardo Ruelas on June 23, 2016Share Tweet Pin Tire valve stems are the valves located in a vehicle’s wheel where the tires are inflated from. They contain a spring loaded valve core that seals itself using the air pressure inside of the tire. Over time valve stems may get old, crack, become brittle, or begin to leak, causing larger problems with your tire and your driving experience. When valve stems begin to leak, the tire will no longer hold air. Depending on the severity of the leak, the tire may leak air slowly, or in more sever cases not hold air at all, warranting replacement of the valve stem. In most cases the the fastest way to replace a valve stem is to take it to a tire shop and have them remove the tire and replace the valve stem using aid of a tire machine. However, for instances where this is not an option, a tire can be removed and the valve stem changed manually. In this step by step guide we will cover how to remove a tire from a wheel manually, using a tire iron, to replace the valve stem.

Share Tweet Print Email Andrew Markel, Editor, Brake & Front End Magazine View bio Selling, mounting and balancing custom wheels can be a profitable business, but what about tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensors? According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), it is a violation of the TREAD Act to disable the system, which includes vehicles with aftermarket or custom rims. In early 2011, the Tire Industry Association (TIA) reached out to the NHTSA regarding scenarios that shops commonly face when servicing vehicles equipped with TPMS. TIA was specifically addressing the so-called “make inoperative” provisions of NHTSA’s TPMS regulations and if they apply to the aftermarket and custom rims. This was NHTSA’s response:“We assume that the vehicle has a functioning TPMS system at the time he or she purchases aftermarket tires and wheels. In that case, a service provider would violate the ‘make inoperative’ prohibition of 49 USC 30122 (b) by installing new tires and wheels that do not have a functioning TPMS. To avoid a ‘make inoperative’ violation, the service provider would need to decline to install the new tires and rims, use the TPMS sensors from the original wheels (if they are compatible), or convince the motorist to purchase new TPMS sensors and ensure that the sensors are properly integrated with the vehicle’s TPMS.”By law, you can’t disable the system because the customer doesn’t want to pay for your shop to install or transfer the TPMS sensors to the new wheels. In the eyes of NHTSA, neglecting the sensors is like removing an airbag to install a video screen or removing a catalytic converter to achieve more performance. Aftermarket Stems and Seals OPTIONSMost valve stem holes come in a few sizes, with the most common being 0.453” and 0.625” for snap-in stems."

"text": "\"Submitted by Sti on Mon, 03/04/2013 - 22:04This article describes my experience with going tubless the \"\"guerrilla way\"\". As Mr. Magura likes to say, it is \"\"DIY all the way baby\"\"! I started this project as a total tubeless noob. I used to ride with innertubes for years but I eventually got fed up with an increasing frequency of punctures on my home trails. After I had stopped changing tires more often than my underwear and settled on my favorite pair, I have decided to see what the magic of tubeless was all about. If you want to try a tubeless conversion but you are afraid of the unknowns of the process, perhaps you may find some inspiration here. This text is a weird mix of a description of what I did and of my instructions to anyone trying to do repeat, A to Z. I hereby apologize to all English speaking purists for bastardazing their native language. I found my inspiration with my friends. I could not do it without help from Marpilli and other peeps at the Hucking Kitty Wheels and Tires forum . Thanks guys!Homebrew Sealant Right next to suitable rims and tires (that are not discussed here), a good sealant is an essential element for success."

"text": "\"Tube Types Valve Types—Presta and Schrader There are two standard valve types used for bicycle tubes. These are called Presta and Schrader (sometimes spelled Schraeder or Shrader). You might recognize Schrader valves from your car's tires, as this is the type used for automobile tires; they're also commonly found on lower-priced bicycles in the United States. Presta valves are commonly used on bicycles sold in Europe and on high-end bicycles everywhere. Presta valves are lighter and more aerodynamic than Schrader valves. Their narrower profile also allows them to fit more easily inside the narrow rims found on road bikes. Since Presta valves can be locked closed, they are more resistant to leaking than Schrader valves when tires are pumped up to high pressures. For these reasons, they're used on all tubular (sew-up) tires, and, as we mentioned, they are used with high-performance bicycles everywhere. Presta valves do have a couple of disadvantages. Since the valve release is exposed, it's easier to knock it as you remove the pump head, releasing pressure from the tube."

It will make the tire run unbalanced and shake the devil out of you on the freeway. Get the tire patched or plugged at a tire shop. In the old days valve caps used to have fingers on top that could be used to unscrew the tire valve. If you can find some of those, put them on your valves and you'll always be able to find them.don r · 6 years ago0 1 Comment Most auto parts stores sell valve stem removal tools or replacement valve cover caps with a valve stem remover built in.

"text": "\"Vasculitis and lupus Lupus Foundation of America October 13, 2017Vasculitis is an inflammation of the blood vessels. Inflammation is a condition in which tissue is damaged by blood cells entering the tissues. In inflammatory diseases, these cells are mostly white blood cells. White blood cells circulate and serve as our major defense against infection. Ordinarily, white blood cells destroy bacteria and viruses. However, they can also damage normal tissue if they invade it. Vasculitis can affect:very small blood vessels (capillaries),medium-size blood vessels (arterioles or venules)large blood vessels (arteries or veins). How does vasculitis damage the body? Several things can happen to an inflamed blood vessel: If it is a small vessel, it may break and produce tiny areas of bleeding in the tissue. These areas will appear as small red or purple dots on the skin."

Share Email Print Feedback Practice Essentials Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), formerly known as Wegener granulomatosis, is a rare multisystem autoimmune disease of unknown etiology. Its hallmark features include necrotizing granulomatous inflammation and pauci-immune vasculitis in small- and medium-sized blood vessels. See the image below. Necrotic, purpuric, and blistering plaque on the wrist in a patient with granulomatosis with polyangiitis. View Media Gallery See Vasculitis: Case Presentations, a Critical Images slideshow, for more information on clinical, histologic, and radiographic imaging findings in various forms of vasculitis. Signs and symptoms GPA has a spectrum of clinical presentations that includes recurrent respiratory infection in adults and upper and lower respiratory tract problems in children. In addition, patients may report the following chronic, nonspecific constitutional complaints: Fevers, night sweats Fatigue, lethargy Loss of appetite Weight loss Ophthalmic manifestations Conjunctivitis Episcleritis Uveitis Optic nerve vasculitis Retinal artery occlusion Nasolacrimal duct occlusion Proptosis Ear, nose, and throat manifestations Chronic sinusitis is the most common initial complaint in GPA, occurring in 67% of cases; failure to respond to conventional treatment is suggestive. Other ENT manifestations are as follows: Rhinitis (22%) [ 1]Epistaxis (11%) [ 1]Collapse of nasal support, resulting in saddle nose deformity (common)Serous otitis media and hearing loss So-called strawberry gingival hyperplasia Stridor, possibly leading to respiratory compromise, from tracheal or subglottic granulomatous masses Pulmonary Pulmonary involvement in GPA can be asymptomatic, insidious in onset, or severe and fulminant. Pulmonary disease may cause any of the following: Pulmonary infiltrates (71%)Cough (34%)Hemoptysis (18%)Chest discomfort (8%) [ 1]Dyspnea (7%) [ 1]Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage due to alveolar capillaritis (5%-45%) [ 2]Atelectasis, with dullness on percussion, decreased breath sounds, and crackles on auscultation Musculoskeletal manifestations Myalgias Arthralgias, usually polyarticular and symmetrical, affecting small and medium joints Arthritis, typically affecting large joints, but rarely deforming Renal manifestations Crescentic necrotizing glomerulonephritis characterized by urinary sediment with more than 5 RBCs per HPF or erythrocyte casts Renal disease is present in 17% of patients at initial diagnosis and is usually asymptomatic [ 3]Renal failure occurs in 11% at presentation [ 1]Nervous system manifestations Peripheral nervous system (PNS) involvement may occur in as many as 67% of patients, typically later in the disease course, and includes the following: Mononeuritis multiplex Sensorimotor polyneuropathy Cranial nerve palsies CNS manifestations include vasculitis of small to medium–sized vessels of the brain or spinal cord and granulomatous masses that involve the orbit, optic nerve, meninges, or brain. [ 4]Cutaneous manifestations Cutaneous findings are variable and nonspecific and usually affect the lower extremities Palpable purpura or skin ulcers (45%) [ 1]; ulcerations may resemble pyoderma gangrenosum Petechiae, vesicles, pustules, hemorrhagic bullae, livedo reticularis, digital necrosis, subungual splinter hemorrhages, and genital ulcers resembling squamous cell carcinoma have been reported Additional findings Cardiac: Pericardial rub, myocardial infarction, or sudden death Gastrointestinal: Abdominal pain may be present with splanchnic vasculitis See Clinical Presentation for more detail."

"text": "Practice Essentials Urticaria is not a single disease but a reaction pattern that represents cutaneous mast cell degranulation, with the condition being defined as chronic if lesions recur for longer than 6 weeks. Mast cell degranulation results in extravasation of plasma into the dermis, forming characteristic hives—edematous pruritic pink wheals of variable size and shape, with or without accompanying angioedema. In angioedema, the swelling is deeper than wheals and may affect mucosal surfaces. Erythema is often absent in angioedema, and typical sites of predilection include the eyelids, lips, and tongue. In the majority of patients with chronic urticaria, no external cause or underlying disease process can be identified. Several theories regarding the pathogenesis of chronic urticaria exist but none has been conclusively established. It is a disease that can be frustrating to treat for both patients and caregivers, and it can have a detrimental effect on quality of life. Signs and symptoms Urticarial lesions are transient in nature, with individual wheals typically lasting for less than 24 hours. Pruritus is the most common associated symptom of chronic urticaria. Lesions typically can be described as follows: Primary lesions are edematous, erythematous papules or plaques with a pale center (wheal) and surrounding erythema (flare)Lesions may be pale to red (depending on background skin color)Lesions can be localized or generalized Lesions may be round, oval, annular, arcuate, serpiginous, or generalized Lesions resolve without postinflammatory pigmentary changes or scaling See Clinical Presentation for more detail."

Therefore, treatment is not indicated in all cases, and full recovery is the rule. HSP is more common in children than adults, but has a tendency to be more severe when it occurs in adults. In a small minority of cases, HSP can cause severe kidney or bowel disease. First Description Dr. William Heberden, a London physician, described the first cases of Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) in 1801. In describing HSP, Heberden wrote of a 5-year old boy who “…was seized with pains and swellings in various parts…He sometimes had pains in his belly with vomiting…and the urine was tinged with blood. Presently, the skin of his leg was all over full of bloody points” (purpura)."

"text": "A possible symptom When you think about rheumatoid arthritis (RA), you probably think about its most common symptoms. These common symptoms include joint swelling and stiffness, bumps or nodules under your skin, and tiredness. But some people with RA have other symptoms too. Some people with rheumatoid arthritis also experience a skin rash. Why rashes? Why do rashes occur in rheumatic diseases? Rheumatoid patients can develop skin disorders. According to the University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics (UIHC), this happens because rheumatoid conditions like RA are autoimmune diseases. UIHC notes that the same kind of immune system problems that cause joint inflammation, swelling, and pain can also affect your skin. When this happens, RA patients may develop lesions or rashes on the skin, reflecting immunological dysfunctions."

"text": "\"How lupus affects the skin Lupus Foundation of America September 26, 2017Dr. Richard D. Sontheimer Approximately two-thirds of people with lupus will observe some type of effect on their skin. In fact, 40-70 percent of people with lupus will find that their disease is made worse by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from sunlight or artificial light. Some individuals have or will develop a type of skin disease, called cutaneous lupus erythematosus. Skin disease in lupus can cause rashes or sores (lesions), most of which will appear on sun-exposed areas such as the face, ears, neck, arms, and legs. A dermatologist, a physician who specializes in caring for the skin, should treat lupus skin rashes and lesions. He or she will usually examine tissue under a microscope to determine whether a lesion or rash is due to cutaneous lupus: taking the tissue sample is called a biopsy. The forms of cutaneous lupus Lupus skin disease can occur in one of three forms: Chronic cutaneous (discoid) lupus Subacute cutaneous lupus Acute cutaneous lupus. Chronic cutaneous lupus (discoid lupus)Discoid lupus appears as disk-shaped, round lesions. The sores usually appear on the scalp and face but sometimes they will occur on other parts of the body as well."

D. A. M. Symptoms SLE symptoms may develop slowly over months or years, or they may appear suddenly. Symptoms tend to be worse during winter months, perhaps because prolonged exposure to sunlight in the summer causes a gradual build-up of factors that trigger symptoms months later. Arthritic Pain The most common symptom is joint pain, which occurs in about 90% of patients with SLE. Characteristics of this symptom vary widely: It is often accompanied by swelling and redness. It can last from hours to months. It may be mild or severe. It can occur in one joint, move from one to another, or flare erratically. Pain often occurs in the morning and improves during the day, only to return later when the patient tires. The joints most affected are fingers, wrists, elbows, knees, and ankles. ( Joints in the spine and neck are not affected. )"

It contains a large list of symptoms that cover all 15 diseases. Not all of these symptoms will pertain to you or your disease. These symptoms may often happen at different times and they can overlap Symptoms can last for a long time or can come and go in a few weeks. Typically, symptoms appear, disappear, and then reappear. The times when a person is having symptoms are called flares. To help the doctor diagnose a form of Vasculitis and monitor its course, patients may want to keep a record of the symptoms that occur and when they occur. Because many conditions mimic Vasculitis, physicians must observe symptoms to make an accurate diagnosis Dermatological symptoms Erythema Nodosum — An eruption of red-purple swellings especially on the legs. It is most commonly found between the ages of 20 years and 50 years and affects women more often than men. Papulopustules — Small, solid, slightly raised areas of the skin and areusually less than half an inch (1 cm) in diameter and may be round or flat, with a smooth or warty texture."

Share Email Print Feedback History Among the neurologic manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the most common are the organic encephalopathies (35-75% of case series), which basically comprise all potential variations of acute confusion, lethargy, or coma; chronic dementias; depression, mania, or other affective disturbances; or psychosis. Mental status changes Acute or subacute mental status changes may be secondary to diffuse cerebritis but should be differentiated from focal cortical dysfunction resulting from thromboembolic cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or from diffuse changes resulting from electrolyte or metabolic derangements (accentuated by concomitant renal failure); medication effects including steroid psychosis (most problematic with high dosages and long durations); aseptic meningitis (seen especially with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs]); or opportunistic infections that result in meningitis, encephalitis, brain abscess, or systemic infection with a secondary toxic encephalopathy. Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) has been described in SLE. Patients are generally on immunosuppressive drugs, have had episodes of relative hypertension, and have renal involvement. Magnetic resonance image (MRI) findings are characteristic, involving the occipital lobes in particular, which differentiates PRES from other central nervous system (CNS) complications of SLE. Clinical and radiographic resolution of abnormalities within 1-4 weeks is typically seen. In spite of this, patients with PRES might present with dramatic signs and symptoms. [ 13]Seizures Seizures are already known to occur in 14-25% of patients with lupus compared with 0.5-1% in the general population. [ 14] Seizures may result from cerebral vasculitis (ischemic or hemorrhagic manifestations), cardiac embolism, opportunistic infection, drug intoxication, or associated metabolic derangements. A seizure focus may result from an acute insult or from the development of a seizure focus in an area of previous brain insult."

Although most annular lesions will be typical of a dermatophytosis, physicians must consider other possible diagnoses. Tinea corporis can often be diagnosed on the basis of a positive potassium hydroxide examination. Topical and systemic antifungals are usually curative. Pityriasis rosea is characterized by small, fawn-colored lesions distributed along skin cleavage lines. Treatment is symptomatic. Granuloma annulare is characterized by nonscaly, annular plaques with indurated borders, typically on the extremities. One half of cases resolve spontaneously within two years. Sarcoidosis can present as annular, indurated plaques similar in appearance to the lesions of granuloma annulare."

"text": "\"Does this patient have granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA)? Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's) (GPA) is a rare disease characterized by the presence of granulomatous inflammation and necrotizing vasculitis involving small and medium sized vessels in various organs. Patients with GPA can have a variety of presentations based on the organ involved and severity of involvement. Clinically, patients should be assessed as having severe (organ- or life-threatening manifestations) or non-severe (mild to moderate) disease. It is more useful to use the terms, \"\"non-severe\"\" and \"\"severe\"\" disease, rather than the term, \"\"limited GPA,\"\" (which was initially used to imply absence of renal involvement), as \"\"limited\"\" organ involvement can in itself be organ-threatening or life-threatening. Common symptoms involve systemic features such as fatigue, fever, weight loss, night sweats, loss of appetite and nausea. Organ-specific involvement can result in specific clinical features:nose (pain, saddle nose deformity)sinuses (pain, sinus headache, fullness, crusting, bleeding)ears (pain, fullness, decreased hearing, discharge)gum swelling and bleedingeyes (redness, pain, blurred vision, diplopia, loss of vision, retro-orbital mass)upper airway (hoarseness of voice, shortness of breath, dry cough)suspect sub-glottic stenosis in patients with or without a preceding diagnosis of GPA, who present with new onset hoarseness of voice or shortness of breath and a CT chest that does not reveal parenchymal diseaselower airway (cough, shortness of breath, hemoptysis or asymptomatic lung cavitary/non-cavitary nodules or infiltrates detected on imaging, diffuse alveolar hemorrhage)joint (migratory pain with or without joint swelling)skin (palpable purpura typically on the lower extremities, ulceration, nodules, verrucous lesions on the elbows)nerve involvement (sensory with persistent tingling or numbness or motor; typically mononeuritis multiplex presenting as a wristdrop or footdrop)renal (microscopic hematuria, proteinuria, symptoms of uremia, mass lesions)central nervous system (pachymeningitis, stroke)gastrointestinal (abdominal pain from GI tract ischemia)Unusual manifestations of GPA include hilar and mediastinal adenopathy, peritonitis, ulcerating GI tract lesions, pituitary involvement with diabetes insipidus, and genitourinary tract involvement (granulomatous prostatitis, urethral involvement) and overlap with other vasculitides such as giant cell arteritis. Organ-threatening or life-threatening manifestations of GPA are the following:diffuse alveolar hemorrhagerapidly progressing renal failure with a serum creatinine of >2 mg/d Lperipheral or central nervous system involvementgastrointestinal ischemiasight-threatening ocular disease (retinitis, retinal vasculitis, scleritis, orbital pseudotumor)On some occasions, a typically non-severe manifestation such as lung nodules may be considered as severe in terms of decision making regarding therapeutic choices if there is extensive pulmonary involvement. Patients with GPA are also at a higher risk of venous thrombosis, especially in the first 2-3 months of diagnosis when they are likely most debilitated from the illness and experiencing the most active phase of the disease. Patients with GPA who develop sudden shortness of breath, hypoxia, or leg swelling should be worked up for possible deep venous thrombosis/pulmonary thromboembolism."

"text": "What is urticarial vasculitis? Urticarial vasculitis is a variant of cutaneous small vessel vasculitis. It is characterised by inflamed and reddened patches or weals on the skin that appear to resemble urticaria, but when the skin is examined closely under a microscope, a vasculitis is found (inflamed blood vessels). Urticarial vasculitis is generally classified as two types: Normocomplementaemic urticarial vasculitis Hypocomplementaemic urticarial vasculitis These are distinguished by finding normal or lowered levels of complement proteins on blood testing. Although both types may be associated with systemic symptoms such as angioedema, abdominal or chest pain, fever, and joint pain, this is more apparent in the hypocomplementaemic form. This form has also been linked to the connective tissue disease systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). What causes urticarial vasculitis? The cause of urticarial vasculitis is unknown, but it has been associated with the following conditions: Inflammatory connective disorders such as SLE and Sjögren syndrome. Immunoglobulin disorders such as immunoglobulin A and immunoglobulin M monoclonal gammopathies Leukaemia and internal cancers Viral diseases such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and infectious mononucleosis (glandular fever)Drug-induced conditions from ACE inhibitors, penicillin, sulfonamides, fluoxetine and thiazides. However, the majority of cases of urticarial vasculitis are idiopathic (ie there is no known cause)."

We know about the vasculitic side of WG’s coin; much less is known about the granulomatous side of WG, however. In this article, we will focus on recent clinical and immunopathological findings attributed to the so-far enigmatic granulomatous process and the probable link to the development of PR3-ANCA and vasculitis. 3Categorizing Disease Stages WG is commonly considered to be part of the spectrum of disorders characterized by vasculitic lesions throughout the body without a known cause but associated with autoantibodies against PR3-ANCA."

Classic symptoms of Microscopic Polyangiitis Forms of vasculitis similar to Microscopic Polyangiitis What causes Microscopic Polyangiitis? How is Microscopic Polyangiitis diagnosed? Treatment and Course of Microscopic Polyangiitis First Description The first description of a patient with the illness now known as microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) appeared in the European literature in the 1920s. The concept of this disease as a condition that is separate from polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) and other forms of vasculitis did not begin to take root in medical thinking, however, until the late 1940s. Even today, some confusing terms for MPA (e.g., “microscopic poly arteritis nodosa ” rather than “microscopic poly angiitis ”) persist in the medical literature. Confusion regarding the proper nomenclature of this disease led to references to “microscopic polyarteritis nodosa” and “hypersensitivity vasculitis” for many years. In 1994, The Chapel Hill Consensus Conference recognized MPA as its own entity, distinguishing it in a classification scheme clearly from PAN, granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA, formerly Wegener’s), cutaneous leukocytoclastic angiitis (CLA), and other diseases with which MPA has been confused with through the years. Much of the explanation for the difficulty in separating MPA from other forms of vasculitis has stemmed from the numerous areas of overlap of MPA with other diseases. MPA, PAN, GPA, and CLA and other disorders all share a variety of features but possess sufficient differences as to justify separate classifications."

Lung abnormalities with an increased density - also called opacities - are the most common. A practical approach is to divide these into four patterns: Consolidation Interstitial Nodules or masses Atelectasis In this article we will focus on this four-pattern approach. At the end we will also discuss diseases that present as areas of decreased density.4-Pattern approach Whenever you see an area of increased density within the lung, it must be the result of one of these four patterns. Consolidation - any pathologic process that fills the alveoli with fluid, pus, blood, cells (including tumor cells) or other substances resulting in lobar, diffuse or multifocal ill-defined opacities. Interstitial - involvement of the supporting tissue of the lung parenchyma resulting in fine or coarse reticular opacities or small nodules. Nodule or mass - any space occupying lesion either solitary or multiple. Atelectasis - collapse of a part of the lung due to a decrease in the amount of air in the alveoli resulting in volume loss and increased density. Here are the most common examples of these four patterns on a chest x-ray (click image to enlarge). Consolidation Lobar consolidation Diffuse consolidation Multifocal ill-defined consolidations Interstitial Reticular interstitial opacities Fine Nodular interstitial opacities Nodule or mass Solitary Pulmonary Nodule Multiple Masses Atelectasis You have to realize that it is not always possible to divide lung abnormalities into one of these four patterns, but that should not be a problem."

Print Background Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) develops in 2 steps. Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacilli enter the host by droplet inhalation. Localized infection escalates within the lungs, with dissemination to the regional lymph nodes. In persons who develop TBM, bacilli seed to the meninges or brain parenchyma, resulting in the formation of small subpial or subependymal foci of metastatic caseous lesions, termed Rich foci. The second step in the development of TBM is an increase in size of a Rich focus until it ruptures into the subarachnoid space. The location of the expanding tubercle (ie, Rich focus) determines the type of CNS involvement. Tubercles rupturing into the subarachnoid space cause meningitis. ( See Pathophysiology. ) Currently, more than 2 billion people (ie, one third of the world’s population) are infected with tuberculosis (TB), of which approximately 10% will develop clinical disease. The incidence of central nervous system (CNS) TB is related to the prevalence of TB in the community, and it is still the most common type of chronic CNS infection in developing countries."

Go to: Abstract Ileitis, or inflammation of the ileum, is often caused by Crohn’s disease. However, ileitis may be caused by a wide variety of other diseases. These include infectious diseases, spondyloarthropathies, vasculitides, ischemia, neoplasms, medication-induced, eosinophilic enteritis, and others. The clinical presentation of ileitis may vary from an acute and self-limited form of right lower quadrant pain and/or diarrhea, as in the majority of cases of bacterial ileitis, but some conditions (ie, vasculitis or Mycobacterium tuberculosis) follow a chronic and debilitating course complicated by obstructive symptoms, hemorrhage, and/or extraintestinal manifestations. Ileitis associated with spondylarthropathy or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is typically subclinical and often escapes detection unless further testing is warranted by symptoms. In a minority of patients with long-standing Crohn’s ileitis, the recrudescence of symptoms may represent a neoplasm involving the ileum. Distinguishing between the various forms of ileitis remains a test of clinical acumen. The diagnosis of the specific etiology is suggested by a detailed history and physical examination, laboratory testing, and ileocolonoscopy and/or radiologic data."

A life of dietary veganism consists of not only foregoing meats from poultry, cattle, pork, fish, and other more exotic life forms- but it also requires abstaining from any articles they produce. This means that eggs (even those left unfertilized), dairy milk or cheeses, and honey are all usually avoided by those that partake in the challenging, though incredibly enriching, diet. Why Go Vegan? The vegan lifestyle is one closely tied to both health and ethics. Reasons for going vegan range from a practical concern about the environmental sustainability of intensive farming to a philosophical rejection of the status of animals as commodities. Those subscribing to the latter school of thought may also forsake the use of animal products in other facets of their lives, including items made from leather, wool, or down (Vegan Action/Vegan Awareness Foundation, n.d.). No matter your commitment to the lifestyle associated with the diet, in addition to contributing to the wellbeing of the world around us, eating vegan also offers substantial benefits to your own well being. Eliminating animal products from your day-to-day meals will often cause an increase in your intake of dietary fiber and select vitamins and minerals, including: vitamin C, vitamin E, iron, arachidonic acid, and phytochemicals (Craig, 2009). The diet also tends to naturally reduce your intake of cholesterol and saturated fat; this can lead to a reduction in the risk of developing select chronic diseases, including heart disease."

A vegan diet can be unhealthy, e.g., diets based on junk foods or soy meat analogues. Those attempting strict vegan diets are advised to pay attention to their nutrition. Nutritional issues Vitamin B-12. A vegan diet needs a reliable source of vitamin B-12. Plant foods can contain some vitamin B-12, which is absorbed from soil and water ( Mozafar 1994). However, the amount varies with the B-12 content of the soil (some soil has no B-12), so plant foods alone are not a reliable source ( Billings 1999). A group of vegan nutritionists recommends that vegans take B-12 supplements or consume (processed) foods fortified with B-12 (Walsh 2001). Some advocates suggest regular blood testing and using supplements only if indicated, an approach that appears over-cautious given the low cost and safety record of B-12 supplementation."

In her book The Kind Diet, actress and animal lover Alicia Silverstone explains how to go vegan, which she says will make you look and feel great while improving your health. Vegan diets skip all animal products, including meat, fish, dairy products, and eggs. Though her book is more of a vegan how-to and cookbook than a weight loss prescription, Silverstone says a vegan diet can help you lose weight -- especially if you follow her “superhero” plan, which banishes packaged foods. What You Can Eat Once you eliminate all animal products from your diet, Silverstone recommends eating whole grains, beans, and vegetables, opting for local and in-season varieties as often as possible. Fruit and desserts are OK in small quantities, provided they’re made with the right sweeteners. You’ll want to avoid white sugar, honey, and organic evaporated cane syrup, and instead choose brown rice syrup, barley malt, maple syrup, agave, molasses, and fruit. The Kind Diet outlines three phases of veganism: Flirting: A gradual transition away from animal-based foods Going Vegan: Committing to a vegan lifestyle Superhero: You mainly eat unprocessed vegetable foods and limit nightshade vegetables (including potatoes, tomatoes, and eggplants) as well as fruit, nuts, and sweets, in order to achieve optimal health.

Vegetarians: Do not consume any animal based foods for the most part. Unlike vegans they are less concerned with the many hard to pronounce food additives and may indulge in things like honey. Vegetarians show varying levels of restraint with animal based non-edibles like clothing."

Don’t worry, many others are asking the same questions. There’s a lot of confusion about the difference between plant-based and vegan. There’s a couple key distinctions. Let’s start with the food…A plant-based diet is one that is based on whole plant foods, including vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds. As the name implies, it is a diet with plant foods as the focus rather than a processed food or animal-based diet."

"text": "Are There Health Benefits to Being A Vegetarian? The perception of the effects of a vegetarian diet on health has gone through a transformation in the last 20 years. In 1980 the American Dietetic Association (ADA) had serious doubts about whether a vegetarian diet was nutritionally sound [1]. Twenty years later the ADA’s position is that appropriately planned vegetarian diets (including vegan diets) are not only nutritionally adequate but may help prevent certain diseases [2]. Support for the view that vegetarianism reduces the risk of certain diseases comes from a variety of studies. I’ll review some of these to give an idea of what is currently known about the health benefits of being a vegetarian. However, to begin this discussion it is important to define what a vegetarian is. There are many types of vegetarians but the classic definition is a person who does not eat meat (including fowl) or seafood, or products containing these foods [2]. People, however, who limit their consumption of red meat, chicken, or fish sometimes refer to themselves as vegetarians. In studies of vegetarians these individuals are described as ‘semi-vegetarians’ because consumption of these food groups is infrequent or much less than is typically seen in the general population. There are also subgroups of people who meet the classic definition of vegetarian but include certain non-meat but animal-derived categories of food (dairy and egg products). These generally are ovo- (eat egg or egg products), lacto- (eat dairy or dairy products) or ovo-lacto (eat egg and dairy products) vegetarians, and those who do not eat meat but do consume fish are pesco-vegetarians. Vegans are vegetarians who do not eat meat, fish, dairy or eggs."

"text": "\"Raw vegan food preparation photo by Muntz / Getty Images A raw food vegan diet consists of unprocessed raw vegan foods that have not been heated above 115 degrees Fahrenheit (46 degrees Celsius). Adherents of this diet, called \"\" raw foodists \"\", believe that foods cooked above this temperature have lost their enzymes and thus a significant amount of their nutritional value and are harmful to the body, whereas uncooked foods provide living enzymes and proper nutrition. Proponents of a raw food diet claim that there are many benefits to eating raw foods, including weight loss, more energy, clear skin, improved digestion and improved overall health. Many people clarify that they eat a \"\"high raw\"\" or a certain percentage of raw foods in their diet, such as \"\"75% raw diet\"\" or a \"\"90% raw diet\"\". A few people include unprocessed dairy products in their diet, but most follow a raw vegan diet. The raw diet has seen an increase in popularity in recent years with raw food restaurants open in most major cities. It remains to be seen if this trend is here to stay or is another passing fad. What Do Raw Foodists Eat? A raw food diet includes: All raw fruits and vegetables Nuts and seeds Sprouts Roots, root vegetables, and squashes Fresh herbs and raw spices Seaweeds The raw foods diet includes these foods in their unprocessed and uncooked state and omits most other foods. Raw foodists also drink fresh fruit and vegetable juices and include herbal teas in their diet as well."

"text": "\"Culinary Glossary Vegetarian & Vegan Food What Is a Macrobiotic Diet? By Jolinda Hackett Updated 03/11/18Share Pin Email Dorling Kindersley: Charlotte Tolhurst / Getty Images The macrobiotic diet, revered by some for its healthy and healing qualities, is a diet with roots in traditional Japanese food, which gained popularity in the west in the late 20th century, starting around the 1960s. A macrobiotic diet emphasizes eating very little animal products of any kind, though it does allow for a small amount of fish, so it is not technically a vegetarian or vegan diet but is actually a pescetarian diet. Instead, a macrobiotic diet includes mostly unprocessed vegan foods, such as whole grains (particularly brown rice), some fruits and plenty of vegetables, beans, and legumes (such as lentils and peas) and allows the occasional consumption of fish. Along with most meats and dairy, according to the definition of a macrobiotic diet, sugar and refined oils are to be avoided. But a macrobiotic diet is not just a \"\"vegan plus fish minus sugar diet\"\", as it does have a few more rules. Perhaps the most unique qualifier of the macrobiotic diet is its emphasis on the consumption of Asian vegetables, such as daikon, and sea vegetables, such as seaweed, as well as fermented foods such as Japanese miso and natto (fermented soybeans), pickles and fermented sauerkraut. A fully macrobiotic diet will also eliminate processed foods, such as coffee, alcohol, any kind of sugar, fruit juices, white rice and white flour and all food additives and preservatives. So what does a macrobiotic diet have to do with vegetarianism or veganism? While a macrobiotic diet is very similar to a vegan diet."

Coined by Mark Hyman, MD, in a January 2015 blog post, the diet combines the best of paleo and vegan into one easier-to-follow superdiet. You might think combining two notoriously restrictive diets would leave you with about five foods to eat, but the pegan diet focuses more on what each diet includes, rather than leaves out, allowing more options. “ I wanted to combine the very best aspects of a paleo and vegan/vegetarian diet rather than cherry-pick studies and pick sides,” Hyman explained to Yahoo Health. “ Combining research with my several decades working with patients, I pulled together this plan. Once you get the hang of it, the pegan diet becomes easy to stick to and delivers fast but lasting results."

A vegetarian is a person who does not consume meat, poultry, seafood or fish. A vegan is a person that does not consume any product that is derived from animals. These products include dairy products and other animal products. Some vegans go to the extent of not eating even honey and yeast. They would not even wear clothing made from animal products. A vegetarian for that matter would not mind wearing clothing made from animal products. He is only concerned about his diet. He is particular that his diet should not include meat, fish or poultry. The diet restrictions adopted by a vegetarian are far more relaxed than those adopted by a vegan."

That is until I became a vegan. Five months ago, I was inspired to convert to a plant-based diet by a community of vegan vloggers I discovered on You Tube. The more I became educated about veganism, the more invested and curious I became about the inner culture of the lifestyle. Soon I learned that there isn’t just one way to be a vegan: There are dozens. There is gluten-free vegan, raw vegan, high-carb, low-fat vegan, and more. Two months into my veganism, I was doing some research online when I discovered a faction of veganism so tiny that it was even difficult to find definitive information about it on Google. The diet? Fruitarianism. According to certified holistic nutritionist Kelly Le Veque, the fruitarian diet is “a subset of raw veganism, where you eat botanical fruits in their natural state.”"

The few plant foods that are sources of B12 are actually B12 analogs, which blocks the uptake of true B12 and actually increases your need for it. B12 is stored in your liver, kidneys and other body tissues. As a result, a deficiency may not be apparent for about seven years. Initial symptoms of deficiency include: lack of motivation, apathy, mental fogginess, muscle weakness and fatigue. Chronic long-term B12 deficiency can lead to serious conditions such as depression, dementia, and fertility problems. By Dr. Mercola The average non-vegetarian stores between 2,000 and 3,000 picograms of B-12 per day. B-12 helps change homocysteine into methionine. When this does not happen, homocysteine levels increase, which recent research has associated heart disease and deterioration of the arteries and nerves. Although many vegan foods are said to have active B-12, few are proving to actually raise B-12 or prevent its loss."

There are many ways to embrace vegan living. Yet one thing all vegans have in common isa plant-based diet avoiding all animal foods such as meat (including fish, shellfish and insects), dairy, eggs and honey - as well as products like leather and any tested on animals. History Although the vegan diet was defined early on in The Vegan Society's beginnings in 1944, it was as late as 1949 before Leslie J Cross pointed out that the society lacked a definition of veganism. He suggested “ [t]he principle of the emancipation of animals from exploitation by man”. This is later clarified as “to seek an end to the use of animals by man for food, commodities, work, hunting, vivisection, and by all other uses involving exploitation of animal life by man”. When The Vegan Society became a registered charity in 1979, the Memorandum and Articles of Association updated the definition of “veganism” as:\"\"A philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of humans, animals and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals . \"\" To read more on the history of veganism, see here. So what do vegans eat?"

It's hard for me to tell exactly what's going on without knowing what you used to eat and what you are eating now.

Vitamin B12 Most women need 2.4 mcg of this vitamin each day. It's essential for maintaining a healthy nervous system as well as healthy blood cells. Found mostly in poultry, beef, fish, and dairy products, this B vitamin has vegan sources as well including fortified cereals, fortified soy milk, kale, spinach, and nutritional yeast. Iron The RDI of iron for women is 18 mg, and while animal products contain iron, there are tons of vegan foods high in this mineral as well. The body needs iron to make hemoglobin, which helps carry oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body, which is why an iron deficiency often causes fatigue. Be sure to include fortified cereal, fortified soy milk, beans such as garbanzos and lentils, tofu, sun-dried tomatoes, potatoes, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, and peanuts in your vegan diet. Calcium Milk definitely does a body good when it comes to calcium, but getting your daily fill of 1,000 mg doesn't have to come from a cow. Necessary for growing new bone and maintaining bone strength, as well as preventing osteoporosis, calcium also helps maintain heart rhythm and muscle function. Go for fortified cereals, cinnamon, fortified soy milk, almond milk, figs, green veggies such as spinach, kale, and broccoli, tofu, soy yogurt, and tempeh, and indulge in some dairy-free frozen dessert."

"text": "Home » Health and Wellness » Diet Tips The 1000 Calorie Diet Plan For Weight Loss November 15, 2017 by Charushila Biswas ISSA Certified Specialist in Fitness & Nutrition If your skinny jeans have been relegated to a remote corner of your wardrobe, it’s time to take up the 1000 calorie diet plan and lose the undesired flab. The 1000 calorie diet plan is suitable for women who are small framed and do not work out often. In this low-calorie diet plan, dieters are allowed to take a total of 1000 calories of food per day to lose weight quickly in a short span of time. The rationale behind the 1000 calorie diet plan is that the drastic reduction of caloric intake results in weight loss, with little or no physical activity. The 1000 calorie plan generates energy shortage of 500 to 1000 calories and helps to burn approximately 8% of fat. Caution: You need to consult a doctor or a dietitian to know whether this diet plan will suit your body. Women who weigh more than 165 pounds and those who lead an active life should take at least 1200 calories per day. Also, if you wish for long-term weight loss, the 1000 calorie diet is not suitable for you. If you have a complicated medical history or suffer from eating disorders, consult your doctor before starting this diet routine. There are a lot of factors that determine which diet plan is appropriate for each of us."

"text": "9 Reasons Why Eating Meat Is Good For Health Cathy Fenster, M. Sc, RD Nutrition 9 Comments Is meat good or bad for health? Since few decades, one of the hot discussions among the health gurus is on the pros and cons of eating meat. A lot of health experts squarely put the blame on consumption of meat for cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity and all cholesterol related diseases. All these blames on meat is far from reality….the biggest culprit behind most of these modern diseases is sugar and high carbohydrate diet. Human beings are eating meat for thousands of years. It is quite strange to put all the blame on meat for the new diseases…especially when the humans were lavishly eating meat from the earliest known periods of human history sans these modern diseases. Of course, the people in the olden days ate meat that was unprocessed and of naturally grown animals without the spicy and fried-in-oil food preparations of the modern times. The healthy ways of eating meat are also important to ensure that not even a small harm it does to the body. In this article, I would like to bring to you why you should NOT stop eating meat. In the below paragraphs, I have chosen nine reasons why meat is good for health.1."

"text": "What Vitamins Do You Need for Lack of Meat?by ERIN BECK Oct. 03, 2017Vegetarians and people who don't consume much meat should carefully monitor their diets and ensure adequate intake of certain nutrients, vitamins and minerals. Animal products are the richest sources of some vitamins. People who don't consume meat can get adequate vitamins if they have a balanced, varied diet and take supplements, if needed. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Types According to the American Heart Association, vegetarians should monitor their diets carefully to ensure adequate intake of protein, iron, vitamin B-12, vitamin D, calcium and zinc. Vitamin B-12 is found naturally in only animal sources. It's also present in fortified cereals, soy beverages and some brewer's yeast. Vitamin D is found in natural sunlight. It's also found in the flesh of fish and fish liver oils. Small amounts are present in beef liver, cheese and egg yolks.

Share 2K Pin 1K Tweet 4 Stumble 1 Yum 1Ever wonder why some people seldom brush their teeth and have few, if any, cavities, whereas others brush and floss religiously and still have constant dental problems? Or why isolated peoples who eat traditional, whole food diets, may have never used a toothbrush, and yet have perfect, straight teeth with no decay throughout their lives? A lot of people believe that the central cause of tooth decay is the fermentation of foods on your teeth. This theory is like blaming the rain because your roof is leaking. When the roof of your home is sealed and well cared for, it will not leak, no matter how much rain falls. Similarly, when your tooth enamel is strong and healthy, your teeth will not be affected by the conditions in the mouth, or by the products of food being left on the teeth, no matter how much you brush (or don’t). So this theory is only partially true. Trying to eliminate bacteria from our mouth to prevent tooth decay is similar to trying to stop the rain from falling in order to prevent leaky roofs. The theory that bacteria in our mouth produce acids, which then cause tooth decay is also false."

You’re also at risk for a number of other nutrient deficiencies, as some simply cannot be obtained from plant foods Eight nutrients you cannot get from plant foods include: vitamin B12, creatine, carnosine, taurine, vitamin D3, heme-iron, the omega-3 fat DHA, and sulfur“Animal-based foods\"\" are not restricted to just meats. Other animal-based foods you can include in your diet include pastured eggs, raw dairy products, and omega-3 fats from krill By Dr. Mercola There is simply no expert that would disagree with the observation that most people do not eat enough vegetables, let alone high-quality organic ones. So it makes perfect sense that individuals who consume more vegetables are likely to be healthier. Most Americans also eat far too much low-quality protein and non-vegetable carbohydrates (i.e. grains), which likely accounts for most of the difference seen when comparing vegetarian to non-vegetarian diets. But that does not justify excluding all animal products for the sake of health. Previous research 1 has demonstrated that people who eat a strictly plant-based diet may suffer from subclinical protein malnutrition, which means you're also likely not getting enough dietary sulfur. By eliminating all animal foods you also run the very real risk of a number of other nutrient deficiencies, as some simply cannot be obtained from plant foods. The featured article by Authority Nutrition 2 lists seven such nutrients you need to make sure you're taking in supplement form should you decide to adopt a strict plant-based diet. In addition to those seven, I also address the issue of sulfur deficiency, which is one of the lesser-recognized hazards of a diet devoid of animal foods."

"text": "\"Fat Soluble Vitamins: Do They Stand Between Vegans and Health? By Ginny Messina | June 20th, 2011 | Tags: Nutrition, Vitamin A, Vitamin D, vitamin K, Vitamins | 59 Comments This month, I’m working on a couple of responses to recently published criticisms of vegan diets. Among the issues that are frequently raised is one that focuses on fat-soluble vitamins. Some of the concerns are based on legitimate questions about active forms of these vitamins and their absorption from plant foods, and others aren’t. Regardless of those questions, though, plant foods can and do provide enough of the fat soluble vitamins A, D and K. (Vitamin E, which is also fat-soluble, is not involved in the controversy since it’s found in a very wide variety of foods. ) Vitamin A: It’s true that the preformed active type of this vitamin is found only in animal foods. But plants are abundant in vitamin A precursors like beta-carotene. In fact, these provitamin A compounds are important enough that the USDA measures vitamin A content of foods as “retinol activity equivalents (RAE),” which includes both preformed vitamin A and the compounds that the body turns into vitamin A. There is no separate RDA or recommendation for animal-derived pre-formed vitamin A. You can meet your vitamin A requirement for the day by drinking just one-quarter cup of carrot juice or eating a cup of kale or spinach. Other foods that make significant contributions are sweet potatoes, cantaloupe, and dark orange winter squashes, including pumpkin. A word of caution though: Earlier assessments of retinol activity equivalents in plant foods over-estimated amounts."

[ Main article]A 100% vegan diet – done intelligently – can work well for many people, but that does not mean it is optimal for everyone. A vegan diet can be unhealthy, e.g., diets based on junk foods or soy meat analogues. Those attempting strict vegan diets are advised to pay attention to their nutrition. Nutritional issues Vitamin B-12. A vegan diet needs a reliable source of vitamin B-12. Plant foods can contain some vitamin B-12, which is absorbed from soil and water ( Mozafar 1994). However, the amount varies with the B-12 content of the soil (some soil has no B-12), so plant foods alone are not a reliable source ( Billings 1999). A group of vegan nutritionists recommends that vegans take B-12 supplements or consume (processed) foods fortified with B-12 (Walsh 2001). Some advocates suggest regular blood testing and using supplements only if indicated, an approach that appears over-cautious given the low cost and safety record of B-12 supplementation."

"text": "\"How Do The Aorta Of A Frog And Human Differ? By Tina Twito | 04/23/2010Facebook Twitter Stumble Google+ Save Have you ever thought to yourself, \"\"How do the aorta of a frog and human differ?\"\" To best understand the difference between the aorta of a frog and that of a human you first need to look at basic differences in their hearts. The most obvious difference between anuran (the group that includes frogs and toads) and human hearts is the number of chambers. A frog's heart has three chambers while humans' have four. While both types of hearts have two atriums for blood collection, the three-chambered heart has only one ventricle to send it back out into the body. So, in a three-chambered heart, oxygenated blood and deoxygenated blood enter the same ventricle. To keep them from mixing too much, frog hearts have specialized ridges to help sort the blood out and direct it to the right place: the lungs or the body. There is some mixing though, so it's not as efficient as the four-chambered model (with two ventricles) that keeps the blood from mixing in the first place. So where does the aorta come into all this?"

Hair - Remember that this is a characteristic of mammals in general. The fur color is white because an albino lacks pigment.2. Body regions - The rat’s body consists of several regions: the head, trunk, appendages, and tail. Compare the length of the tail and the rest of the body. The tail is used for balance and support, particularly when the animal is sitting erect and using the forelimbs in a manner more or less similar to the way the arms are used by humans. Notice that the appendages are adapted for walking.3. Vibrissae - These are groups of very long hairs found just behind the nose and above the eyes. They are tactile organs very useful to a nocturnal animal. While rats scurry for food, often in total darkness, these bristles enable them to maintain contact with walls and other solid objects that will guide their search.4."

Learning Objectives Describe gastrulation and germ-layer formation Key Takeaways Key Points Gastrulation takes place after cleavage and the formation of the blastula. Formation of the primitive streak is the beginning of gastrulation. It is followed by organogenesis—when individual organs develop within the newly-formed germ layers. The ectoderm layer will give rise to neural tissue, as well as the epidermis. The mesoderm develops into somites that differentiate into skeletal and muscle tissues, the notochord, blood vessels, dermis, and connective tissues. The endoderm gives rise to the epithelium of the digestive and respiratory systems and the organs associated with the digestive system, such as the liver and pancreas. Key Termssomite: One of the paired masses of mesoderm, distributed along the sides of the neural tube, that will eventually become dermis, skeletal muscle, or vertebrae.gastrulation: The stage of embryonic development at which a gastrula is formed from the blastula by the inward migration of cells.notochord: A structure found in the embryos of vertebrates from which the spine develops.epiboly: One of many movements in the early embryo that allow for dramatic physical restructuring and is characterized by a thinning and spreading of cell layers. Gastrulation is a phase early in the embryonic development of most animals during which the single-layered blastula is reorganized into a trilaminar (three-layered) structure known as the gastrula. These three germ layers are known as the ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm."

"text": "It’s important to understand that a veterinary assistant is not the same as veterinary technician. In general, vet techs are people who have received formal training, certification and licensing. A veterinary assistant is someone who usually has experience working in the animal care field but is not a licensed vet tech. Most are responsible for doing front office work in a veterinary office, clinic, or animal shelter. They can assist during surgeries or procedures as needed, but they usually cannot administer medication, give injections or do procedures on their own. Front office work of the assistant can include the following responsibilities: Greeting patients Pulling charts Filing Writing charts Answering phones Taking appointments Escorting animals and their owners to rooms Weighing animals Selling over the counter vet medications only available through vets, like certain types of flea control Taking payments Scheduling Initiating collection or billing Ad A veterinary assistant may get a variety of hands-on experience with animals, but this largely depends upon the type of practice in which they work, and who the employer is. Many vets who are parents will employ their children or other teens to work as assistants so they can get field experience and decide if veterinary medicine is the right career choice. James Herriot, in his books on being a Yorkshire vet in the mid 20th century, discusses how both his children were informal assistants when he would visit farms or work at his clinic. This type of training can be great for the younger or older teens interested in the field, and Herriot relates that his son later became a vet because of all the on the job practice he received. Though many of these jobs are paid positions, this is a field in which many volunteer opportunities exist."

Veterinary School Prices There are only 28 accredited veterinary schools in the United States, making entrance to one of the colleges a highly competitive process. Admission requirements vary depending on the school, but generally only about one-third of candidates are accepted. In order to work as a veterinarian, you'll need a doctorate in veterinary medicine, or a DVM. Although a bachelor's degree is not always a prerequisite for DVM programs, most require 45 to 90 undergraduate hours. However, because veterinary school is so competitive, the vast majority of students have a bachelor's degree. After the four-year doctorate program, you can practice as soon as you get a license. But many students decide to pursue a one-year internship, which can lead to better job opportunities. Anyone who then decides to pursue a board certification in a specialized veterinary field will spend another three to four years in a residency program. Despite the long commitment and the expense of veterinary school, the job outlook for veterinarians is good."

"text": "Veterinary Assistant Career Overview Veterinary assistants play an important role in the pet industry. They take care of animals as well as aid veterinary technicians and veterinarians. Given the advancements in veterinary medicine and compartmentalization of jobs, the role of the veterinary assistant may become more relevant than ever. Veterinary Assistant Job Description At the base of many animal hospitals and veterinary clinics are veterinary assistants. Veterinary assistants may look after animals, maintain cleanliness of the facility, and help veterinary technicians and veterinarians successfully complete surgical procedures. As the first to greet patients, veterinary assistants are also frequently in contact with pet owners. They may even educate owners of diseases and health problems, and explain to them how they can better take care of their pets. Duties of veterinary assistants include, but are not limited to: Feed, bathe, and exercise animals Clean cages and vicinity Communicate with pet owners Set up examination rooms Collect blood and tissue samples Read medical charts Assist with medical administration Aid with surgical procedures Prepare patients for x-ray imaging Education Infographic by Jesse Hernandez. Veterinary assistants should have a high school diploma or GED or pass the Ability to Benefit Test.

He is an intelligent dog, devoted to his owner (s), moderately territorial though not blatantly aggressive, and pleasant to live with. His most unique feature, his spots, are either black or chocolate brown, which is properly termed \"\"liver\"\". He is clean by nature and has little, If any, \"\"doggy odor\"\". His short coat does shed almost year-round; regular brushing with a curry comb outdoors helps to minimize shedding. Dalmatians are a hardy breed and their day-to-day upkeep does not involve a lot of fussing. They do best in a household situation and indeed will do poorly if left outside on a chain or are otherwise ignored. They are a people-oriented breed, and they bask in the love and attention of their owners. If your idea of owning a dog consists of leaving the dog outside all the time and patting it once a day when you feed it, do not buy a Dalmatian!"

"text": "| Share FAQWhat is the difference between a Veterinarian, Veterinary Technologist, Veterinary Technician, and Veterinary Assistant? Persons with varying degrees of educational experience staff the Veterinary Hospital. Tasks performed in the hospital to provide animal care should be assigned to persons with appropriate education/training to ensure a positive outcome for the patient. There may be times when an employee may be asked to work at a level below their expertise, but in keeping with the philosophy of quality animal care, the opposite should not take place. The Veterinarian is solely responsible for diagnosing, developing a prognosis, prescribing medication and performing surgery. They are ultimately responsible for all patient care and outcomes. Most Veterinarians apply for veterinary medical school admission while obtaining a bachelor degree in a compatible field. If accepted into a veterinary medical school the course of study usually takes another four years, making that a grand total of eight years of schooling. Every state requires a veterinarian to take and pass a licensing exam. Successful candidates are given a license to practice veterinary medicine."

By Sophia Yin As a veterinarian focused on animal behavior, I see all kinds of cases and field all kinds of questions. And unlike with regular medical problems, I know that the solution will, unfortunately, require some work and habit-changes on the part of the owners. So when I get a call or email asking, “Help! My male dog mounts every dog he meets and needs to mark every object in sight. What do I do?” I am almost overjoyed. While the owners could go through all kinds of elaborate training which would involve 100% supervision around all other dogs as well as objects the dog might urine mark, they could instead opt for the easy way out. My first recommendation is “Get him neutered first and if the problem continues at all we can add a behavior modification plan.” The solution is so simple that I actually rarely have to make this recommendation."

"text": "\"Quora User, Veterinary assistant/Receptionist/kennel person/person who does everything Answered Feb 14, 2016 · Author has 183 answers and 131.3k answer views Originally Answered: What are the warning signs when you know you should take your dog to the vet? Some signs are more urgent than others and some dogs more than others will have certain signs that require veterinary care. For example, a large breed dog, especially those with a deep, barreled chest, like Great Danes, Labrador Retrievers, and the like, are prone to bloat, or, gastric dilatation volvulus. This is when the stomach twists and as a result, causing it to bloat. If not treated immediately, the dog's organs will fail due to lack of oxygen and then eventually, and quickly, lead to death. If you have a large dog and notice his abdomen is bigger than normal, bring him to a vet immediately. They will do an x-ray and if it is bloat, they will do surgery in which they unravel the stomach, check the organs for any necrosis, and attach the stomach to the dog's side to prevent it from twisting. I have gone to too far in scope of the question but when I think of emergencies as related to dogs, I often think of GDV. There are many things to look for so it is difficult to pinpoint just a few. In general, anything that is abnormal for your pet is a reason for bring in him to the vet."

"text": "Bordetella: Does Your Dog Need the Kennel Cough Vaccine? July 21, 2012Your veterinarian, kennel owner, trainer, day care provider or groomer says your dog should/must be vaccinated against kennel cough, but you’re trying not to over-vaccinate. What should you do? More and more, people are finding another vet, kennel owner, day care provider or groomer — or keeping their pet at home! Vaccination is a serious medical procedure with significant risks. If that weren’t bad enough, the “kennel cough” vaccine is unlikely to prevent kennel cough! It can even produce kennel-cough like symptoms. The WSAVA Guidelines say, “Transient (3–10 days) coughing, sneezing, or nasal discharge may occur in a small percentage of vaccinates.” It can also cause a serious anaphylactoid reaction. Look up anaphylactoid."

"text": "Pet ownership represents a large emotional – and financial – commitment. Whether you buy from a pet store or a breeder, adopt an animal from a shelter, or take in a stray, initial costs are just the beginning of the story. This guide examines the different costs associated with pet ownership and helps you know what to expect, how to plan for these expenses, and potential ways to reduce the financial burden of pet ownership. The Lifetime Cost of a Pet There are two main cost areas when owning a pet: the initial cost (adoption costs, vaccinations, training, etc.) and then general costs over your pet’s lifetime (food, toys, routine vet visits, etc.) Combining both of these costs together will give you a rough estimate of the lifetime cost of your pet. Even without some of the larger expenses like a fenced in backyard, initial costs like vaccines, heartworm prevention, toys, training, and food can add up to $680 or more. Throw in routine expenses such as dental care ($40 to $80 per year), food ($240 per year), and grooming ($30 per visit) and you’re looking at $300-$400 per year before major medical expenses. Acquisition Costs One of the first expenses of pet ownership is the adoption or purchase price. The price of purchasing from a breeder is typically influenced by the demand for that particular breed."

Working at a vet's office is a great place to get some hands-on animal experience. While these jobs aren't easy to come by, you can increase your chances of securing one by focusing on a few key areas. Finding an Opportunity Small animal clinics have a larger staff. Your best chance at an entry-level position will be at a small animal clinic. Small animal clinics require a larger support staff because they usually board patients daily or overnight. Large animal vets are on the road and visit their patients at farms. These vets generally only have one \"\"ride along\"\" assistant traveling with them. Don't rely on the classifieds.

It is natural, therefore, for owners of sick pets to wonder how dogs are euthanized and what happens during that final one way trip to the vet's office. Function Dogs are euthanized with an overdose injection of Pentobarbital, a liquid barbiturate commonly used to induce unconsciosness during surgery. The dog will basically drift into a deep sleep, that will ultimately halt the breathing and cause cardiac arrest, thus the terminology ''to put to sleep. \"\" Misconceptions Because the euthanasia solution depresses the central nervous system, the only pain the dog will most likely feel is the needle prick when the solution is injected. Time Frame After the injection is given, the dog will drift into a deep sleep within ten seconds, in the same way a human becomes unconscious before surgery. Warning In some cases, dogs may exhibit automatic nerve reflexes after they pass on. These consist of involuntary muscle twitches or loss of bladder/bowel control. The eyes in most cases stay open. Owners opting to stay during the procedure should be aware of these involuntary spasms."

You'll also not have to deal with messy/annoying heat cycles from your girl, and you'll SIGNIFICANTLY reduce the risk of reproductive cancers in both dogs. The cost depends a lot on where you go. Some shelters and low cost clinics will spay and neuter for as low as $50 or less. Other veterinary hospitals will likely charge you around $200 (give or take) for a canine neuter, and $50-100 more for a spay (as it's a more complicated procedure than a neuter)."

Photo from Seattle Dog Spot. Last October 1 we put down Dylan, our almost 13-year-old chocolate Labrador Retriever (and the best brown dog in the world). About a year earlier I wrote a post about finally acknowledging that he wouldn’t be around much longer because he stopped running upstairs to the kitchen when he heard me making a meal (or doing anything with food). Being a soft touch, I always “dropped” something I was making on the floor for him, but when he began to stay on the couch in basement instead of coming upstairs to mooch food I knew his health had started to deteriorate. As I had never put one of my dogs down before, I was petrified that I wouldn’t know when it was time to let him go. I didn’t want to hang on to him if was suffering, but I obviously didn’t want to euthanize him while his quality of life was still good. Most dog owners who have had to put down a dog will say that you shouldn’t worry because your dog will let you know when it’s time to let him/her go, and while that was true in Dylan’s case, it may not be true for every dog in every situation. So what’s the best way to know when to put your dog down? A few days before Dylan died, a woman who works at Metro Dog Seattle (the dog daycare where we take our dog Miguel) who knew what we were going through told us how she knew when it was time to let a dog go."

Most veterinarians agree that spayed or neutered dogs live longer healthier lives. Male dogs that have been neutered have a lower incidence of prostrate cancer than those who were not altered. Female dogs that have been spayed have a lower incidence of uterine and ovarian cancer. Dogs that have been spayed or neutered are far less likely to bite.

The term ‘stroke’ specifically refers to a bleed or clot in the brain, but these problems can crop up anywhere that blood flows: the lungs, the kidneys, calf muscles, etc. A heart attack (which is a thankfully rare condition in dogs and cats) is a ‘stroke’ of the heart. It can be thought of as a blockage that lodges in the blood supply known as the coronary arteries, which feed the heart muscle. Even though my patients are spared the misery of heart attacks, blood clots are still a huge problem that is largely unrecognized by most pet owners. If blood decides to solidify and stop flowing, bad things happen. The most common type of blood clot that we see is what is known as a saddle thrombus, so named because it sits at a fork in the road of some major arteries like a saddle sits atop a horse. Saddle thrombi are seen almost exclusively in cats and are usually an indicator of serious underlying heart disease; one chamber of the heart enlarges due to disease and blood tends to pool there."

When faced with a lifesaving care situation, pet owners are often surprised to find that veterinary care options are advanced, with a big price tag attached, often upwards of $5,000 (see inset graphic on the top 10 most expensive pet insurance claims ). In these situations, veterinarians face a major dilemma: which do you save, the family pet or the family budget? [ Tweet \"\"Which do you save, the family pet or the family budget? Join the debate. \"\"]\"\" How much money do you actually have to spend? \"\"\"\" There are a number of different things that feed into how much people end up spending on their animals,\"\" author David Grimm told Policy Genius. \"\" Some of it is the type of relationship the person has with the animal. Is this animal just a pet, is it a member of the family, is it a child?"

"text": "\"Pets Dogs How much does a Vet Tech get paid?8 following 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Hey there! Well, you did ask... Sorry it's so long. I have so much to say about this. The answer to your question is in the first paragraph. I was a certified RVT for 2 years, and a \"\"vet assistant\"\" (no certification, office assistant, basically) for 3 years before that. I have to be honest, when you consider 2 years of HARD work getting certified (and it isn't a walk in the park, really, you never worked so hard in your life! ), the salary isn't what you'd expect. To start, with a license, expect to get $10-$12. That's it! You get more with seniority, but don't expect to support yourself."

"text": "Good Here’s Why You See So Many Pit Bulls In Shelters Benjamin Moore Editor, Bark Good2 years ago As a Pit Bull owner and advocate, it breaks my heart knowing that Pit Bulls make up the largest percentage of dogs in shelters across the United States. My dog, Guybrush, was saved at just five months of age from the Manhattan AC&C. He was on the at-risk list four years ago last month, and if it hadn’t been for my fiancée, he probably would’ve died, just like so many other Pit Bulls. Not because he was a bad dog. Not because he had behavioral issues. But because he was an owner surrender and there were just too many dogs like him waiting to be saved.hansyandbrush Follow Instagram I didn’t really have an opinion of Pit Bulls at the time. I mean, I knew that there were those in the world who had negative associations with them, but I also knew that that was nonsense. It wasn’t until Guybrush that I learned how amazing and loyal and affectionate they can be. And not just because of Guybrush – once you fall in love with one Pit Bull, you fall in love with all Pit Bulls. I can’t count how many times I’ve met a Pit Bull since, and they’re all the same – they just want to lick your face and be your best friend. But it’s not enough to just love these dogs and talk about how great they are."

"text": "A veterinary nurse, sometimes referred to as a technician, assists a veterinarian in providing medical treatment to animals. This could be by helping with an examination or preparing a pet for surgery. The assistant may sometimes conduct routine tests or laboratory work. In some cases, the nurse may perform administrative duties, such as updating medical charts or entering billing information in a database. Other times, the job may require providing basic care for animals who are being hospitalized. When a pet owner brings an animal to a veterinary clinic, a veterinary nurse is often one of the first people seen. Before the veterinarian talks to the owner, the nurse may take the animal's weight and temperature. This information, along with changes in the pet's health or recent medical concerns, is then recorded for the doctor to review. After the visit is complete, the technician normally updates the pet's record with the diagnosis and recommended treatment plan. During the examination, the veterinary nurse may assist the doctor by holding the animal still or muzzling if need be."

There are diseases and conditions that may be specific to certain areas or where these guidelines don't work! As always, if it ain't broke, don't fix it! Always consult your local veterinarian for area specific conditions and to see if certain antibiotics or other medicaments may work better in your area or at different dosages. Colostrum is the most important thing in the fawn's life. It contains antibodies to the diseases that the does have been exposed to or vaccinated for. It also contains vitamins, protein, energy and laxative to get their intestinal tract working. We also believe that it contains factors that help prime the immune system to work properly. If they do not get colostrum, they are more likely to get scours, pneumonia, necrotic stomatatis, become chronic poor doers, succumb to other diseases and die. Colostrum can be obtained from milking out does that have lost their fawns (trust me, it's tedious but worth it) or from someone that has cows, goats, sheep."

All these questions and more are coursing through your mind. As a responsible pet owner, you have taken precautions to make sure that your pet is well cared for and loved. You've bought a dependable Dog Collar and Dog Tag. You've done everything you can to make your pet safe - but still, your pet has worms. The answers to this problem depend on several issues. In many cases, you may not even know that your dog has worms without having the stool analyzed under a microscope. The four most common intestinal parasites are tapeworms, roundworms, hookworms and whipworms. Some infestations can cause few or no symptoms. In fact, some worm eggs or larvae can be dormant in the dog’s body and activated only in times of stress, or in the case of roundworms and hookworms, until the later stages of pregnancy, when they activate and infest the pre natal puppies."

"text": "WHAT IS A VET ASSISTANT AND WHAT DO VET ASSISTANTS DO? With the recent explosion of organic pet foods, handsewn costumes, and psychiatric medicines for people’s furry, feathered, and scaly companions, it’s clear that pets hold a privileged position in many households. In fact, an annual survey by American Pet Products Association (APPA 2017) found that 68 percent of US households have pets, up from 56 percent in 1988. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC 2017) has repeatedly emphasized the positive effects of animals on lowering people’s blood pressure, cholesterol, triglyceride levels, and feelings of loneliness. For animal-lovers seeking a career with minimal training, becoming a veterinary assistant can be a fulfilling option. So what is a veterinary assistant? And what do these animal care specialists do? According to O*NET (2017)—a data organization affiliated with the US Department of Labor—vet assistants are on the front lines of animal caretaking, taking on responsibilities such as managing the everyday needs of animals (e.g., feeding, bathing, exercising); restraining animals during examinations and procedures; assisting with non-invasive medical procedures; disinfecting cages and kennels; scheduling medical appointments with pet-owners; sterilizing equipment and surgical rooms; monitoring veterinary patients’ health status (e.g., taking weight or temperature); and educating pet-owners. They may help veterinary technicians and veterinarians in more advanced capacities such as administering medication, processing laboratory samples, and performing medical tests (e.g., x-rays). Veterinary assistants are typically employed by animal clinics and veterinary hospitals, sometimes working nights, weekends, and holidays to meet the needs of their veterinary patients."

A person employing such a device knows as much about the car's recent whereabouts as he would if he'd been riding in it himself.

Prosecutors must continuously review each case and take account of any change in circumstances (see paragraph 3.6 of the Code for Crown Prosecutors ). If the prosecutor considers the proceedings should not continue, the case should be terminated at the earliest possible opportunity. An early decision is especially important if the defendant is in custody. It may sometimes be appropriate to change the decision of the original charging prosecutor (or of the police where they authorised charge). Where a prosecutor comes to the view that the original decision was fundamentally wrong, it is a matter of good practice to discuss the decision with a Unit Head but every effort should be made to ensure that the proceedings are not delayed. If the reason for terminating the proceedings is the insufficiency of the evidence provided to the CPS at that date, this must be made clear to the court and the defendant. If it is likely that the proceedings will be re-instated if further evidence becomes available, both the court and the defendant should be informed. Prosecutors must be aware that decisions to terminate prosecutions are susceptible to judicial review (see legal guidance on: Appeals - Judicial Review of Prosecutorial Decisions). Accordingly, a full note of the reason for the decision is essential."

When relationships are abusive, this privacy is abused. Domestic violence victims have high needs for privacy, as they are already the target of an abuser, and often need to keep data from them. This abuse can also involve privacy violations such as surveillance, monitoring, or other stalking. For a domestic violence victim, the need for privacy is a need for physical safety. Many privacy problems, such as identity theft, are harms experienced by the public from general criminal behavior. But domestic violence victims are already being specifically singled out by a particular aggressor. This aggressor is able to take advantage of the general lack of protection for personal information in our society. Furthermore, this aggressor is familiar with many of the intimate details of the victim's life. An abuser can violate privacy by sharing these details, or by using them to gain more information on a victim."

Although the way in which shelters developed varies from country to country, a description of the experiences of shelters in the United States and the strategies used by these shelters to address administrative, institutional and advocacy challenges can be used to inform current discussions of shelters in CEE/CIS. The United Nations views the provision of shelter and other services as a critical part of states’ obligation to protect victims of violence. The Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, for example, calls on governments to “ [p]rovide well-funded shelters and relief support for girls and women subjected to violence, as well as medical, psychological and other counselling services and free or low-cost legal aid, where it is needed, as well as appropriate assistance to enable them to find a means of subsistence.” Where states have failed to ensure the availability of adequate services for victims of domestic violence, however, such services are generally provided by NGOs. The Shelter and Safehouse Movements The shelter and safehouse movement in the United States began in the early 1970s. Two of the earliest shelters were Women’s Advocates in Minnesota and Transition House in Boston. Women who were concerned about domestic violence or were themselves victims of domestic violence came together and decided that one of the most critical issues facing victims was the absence of alternative housing. Many of these early groups began by housing women in advocates’ own homes for one or two days. Safehouse networks continue to this day, and are a viable alternative to temporary housing when establishing a shelter is not feasible."

"text": "\"Community Supervision of the Sex Offender: An Overview of Current and Promising Practices January 2000Introduction Despite recent legislative changes and sentencing practices that increase the likelihood and length of incarceration for convicted sex offenders, many of these offenders are supervised in the community. A U. S. Department of Justice study (Bureau of Justice Statistics, 1997) reports that approximately 265,000 adult sex offenders are under the care, custody, or control of correctional agencies in the United States. Of these, almost 60 percent are under some form of community supervision. Most offenders who are convicted of one or more sex crimes will be supervised in the community at some point—either immediately following sentencing or after a period of incarceration in jail or prison. These offenders present unique challenges to probation and parole departments that are primarily responsible for supervising them. Because of the potentially volatile community responses to sex offenders, and the irrefutable harm that re-offenses would cause potential victims, the community supervision of sex offenders is of critical importance to criminal justice agencies and the public. Overview The primary objective of this brief is to provide an overview and discussion of emerging practices and lessons in communities across the country in the management of sex offenders under community supervision. A core assumption appears to underlie these emerging practices: the primary goal of managing sex offenders in the community is the prevention of future victimization. To that end, a comprehensive approach to sex offender management includes several key elements: Collaboration. Collaboration among those agencies and individuals charged with initiating and implementing effective supervision and treatment practices is essential to managing sex offenders safely in the community."

Cathy Young10.25.1999 • 9:00 AMne day three years ago, Harry Stewart, a lay minister in Weymouth, Mass., and a divorced father of two, was bringing his 5-year-old son back from a scheduled visit. He walked the boy to the front door of the mother's apartment building and opened the door to let him in. For this offense, 44-year-old Stewart is now serving a six-month sentence in the Norfolk House of Correction. Stewart was convicted in June of violating a restraining order that prohibited him from exiting his car near his ex-wife's home. He got a suspended sentence conditional on completing a batterers treatment program, in which participants must sign a statement taking responsibility for their violence. That was something Stewart refused to do. He has never been charged with spousal assault and insists that the only violence in his marriage was by his ex-wife against him. ( While his former wife told reporters that Stewart was dangerously unstable, her examples -- that he had watched \"\"prison movies\"\" with his 8- and 6-year-old sons and promised to send them some live caterpillars to grow into butterflies -- seem shocking only in their innocuousness.) On Aug. 18, he appeared in Quincy District Court and again declared that he was not a batterer and would not enroll in any program that required him to admit to being one."

And not surprisingly, no other serious crime is more under-reported. The vast majority of rape victims, in fact, never do report to police. And of those cases that are reported, the prosecution rate is lower than for any other serious crime. In no other crime is your skillful advocacy more needed, and in no other crime are your advocacy skills more challenged. The good news is that rapid changes, as uneven as they've been, are beginning to bring protection and justice within the reach of many rape victims. Victims themselves are much more able to find support and to speak out. Law enforcement sex crimes investigation techniques and training have improved. And here and there throughout the system there are individuals and units who take sex crimes seriously. Still, successfully advocating for rape victims requires a full awareness of the generally hostile dynamics that rape victims face and requires your unflinching willingness to confront them."

Nancy Tyler appreciates the reach of the laws, which touch the police, the courts, landlords, emergency shelters, schools, protective-order violators and victims. A mother and a lawyer in Hartford, Tyler was a victim of one of the highly publicized crimes since early 2009 that marshaled the attention of the media and politicians in a sustained way not seen since Tracey Thurman, victimized by a brutal husband and some apathetic police officers in Torrington, sued the state and won landmark reforms in 1986. In fact, a new monitoring program for offenders that starts Oct. 1 — a GPS system that tracks protective-order violators and alerts the victim when the offender comes within a certain distance — might have prevented the crime that has changed Tyler's life. Tyler's estranged husband, Richard Shenkman, was charged with kidnapping her at her workplace downtown, assaulting her, handcuffing her in her home in South Windsor, pressing a pistol to her head and later burning down the house. Tyler, cuffed at one point to a hook in the basement wall, yanked herself free and escaped before the fire. \"\" They acted, and just in time,\"\" Tyler said of the legislators. \"\" My hope is the legislation will make a difference in the long-term for the next generation, and in the short-term for women out there who are in danger and suffering. \"\" Tyler is talking on the phone from work, 16 floors above the darkened parking garage from which she was abducted.

Though Nassar had admitted to molesting seven victims, Judge Rosemarie Aquilina opened the courtroom in this phase to anyone wishing to speak, including victims of Nassar who were not part of the official case. Ultimately, there were more than 160 witnesses, including numerous Olympic athletes, who gave gut-wrenching testimony about his effect on their lives. On Wednesday, Judge Aquilina sentenced Nassar to 40 to 175 years in prison — a sentence she assured him means he will die in prison, since it will be served subsequent to a 60-year sentence in another case for possession of child pornography. “ I have signed your death warrant,” she announced. Throughout the sentencing hearing, Aquilina was praised for her compassion towards victims, and her comments Wednesday drew further exultant commentary.

Arrest If the suspect has not been arrested: If the suspect has not been arrested it's important to determine why not, and to determine if, indeed, there should have been an arrest. Most states in the US have pro-arrest policies when there is probable cause of domestic violence, as do most individual jurisdictions. Knowing the laws and policies governing your police should make it fairly easy in most cases for you to determine whether or not there should have been an arrest in your client's case. ( As mentioned earlier, it's critical for advocates to have copies of, and be familiar, with your local jurisdiction's written law enforcement policies on domestic violence and sexual assault. ) In general, in California, if there is any injury to the victim, \"\"no matter how slight\"\", police should make an arrest. If you feel there should have been an arrest in your client's case, and there was not, call the on-duty sergeant or call the head of the police domestic violence unit and ask why there was no arrest. When you make these calls, it's always a good idea to take notes on the answers you're given, especially if the answers are ridiculous. Also, make sure that a crime report was actually written, and that the crime report has been, or is being sent up to the district attorney's office. If, after looking at the case, the ranking officer argues that the responding officer was correct in not making an arrest, but you still believe the suspect should have been arrested, you'll need to escalate your advocacy strategies to make the arrest happen.

"text": "\"Advocates' Role Independence Vital It's easy to understand how victims may think we're part of the criminal justice system. Many (formerly) independent domestic violence programs are being forced into partnerships with their local law enforcement agency or Family Justice Centers as a matter of survival. Victims see and hear their advocates sharing information and strategizing with police officers and prosecutors. They see us arriving with the police at their homes. Fundraising events show advocates giving awards to a local officer, or the sheriff cutting the ribbon for a new shelter. Some law enforcement agencies employ victim support specialists and EAP counselors for both victims and perpetrators. It's confusing — even for us sometimes — just what our role is in the domestic violence community. The advocate should be the one person who is there solely for the victim, open to exploring any and all options. Our role is to provide information and support so the victim can decide how to best protect her own interests and safety. If we even appear to be a part of the criminal justice system, the victim of an officer will not trust us."

"text": "\"Sexual Assault and Rape Jump to a Section Overview Sexual assault is a criminal offense. It includes rape, forcible sodomy (oral or anal sex), and other unwanted sexual contact that is aggravated, abusive, or wrongful (to include unwanted and inappropriate sexual contact), or attempts to commit these acts. The DOD Definition of Sexual Assault: Intentional sexual contact, characterized by use of force, threats, intimidation abuse of authority, or when the victim does not or cannot consent. \"\" Consent\"\" means words or overt acts indicating a freely given agreement to the sexual contact at issue by a competent person. Lack of verbal or physical resistance or submission resulting from the use of force, threat of force, or placing another person in fear does not constitute consent. A current or previous dating relationship by itself or the manner of dress of the person involved with the alleged offender in the sexual contact at issue shall not constitute consent. Incidents of sexual assault impact mission readiness and the core values of the Navy and are punishable under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) and other federal and local civilian laws. Sexual assault is one of the most under-reported violent crimes. The Navy's policy of sexual assault establishes immediate 24-hour response capability to victims of sexual assault regardless of location -ashore, afloat, or deployed to ensure timely access to services. In FY10, the Military Services received a total of 3,158 reports of sexual assault involving Service members, which reflects a 2-percent decrease in overall reporting from FY09."

In fact, almost everyone is taught about fish, sharks, whales, turtles, eels, octopi, and shrimp. But species diversity in the ocean is astronomical, and there are many sea critters you may not have heard of, or seen on television. Let’s start with this guy – the Vampire Squid!Before you ask, no – this creature is not a member of the Cullen family and doesn’t sparkle in the sunlight. It more closely matches the vampire tales surrounding Count Dracula. Thanks to a little bit of black webbing that connects the Vampire Squid’s arms, this creature looks like its wearing a cape and “flying” though the water like a bat!And that’s not even the coolest part. The Vampire Squid has “photophores” on their arms that can hypnotize their prey. Next up is the Viperfish!It’s hard to say exactly what this creature looks like, but the Science Channel says it looks like, “a baseball bat with the head of Predator…add some scales and the gnarliest teeth you’ve ever seen…and it has a radio antenna on top of its Predator head. ”The teeth they mentioned are so big they can’t fit in the Viperfish’s mouth! And the radio antennae is actually a lure to bring them prey."

"text": "Anglerfish Antennarius pictus, and angler fish Copyright www.jjphoto.dk The name angler fish is used for over 200 different species of predatory fish equipped with a modified spine known as an illicium. The anglerfish uses its illiciumto catch prey by luring them close. The illicium is attached to the first or spinous dorsal fin and extends over the eyes of the fish. On the illicium you can see a fleshy growth (the esca) and the anglerfish will wiggle this growth back and forth to make it look like an appealing prey for other predatory fishes. Once a fish ventures too close to the anglerfish, it will be rapidly devoured. One of the anglerfish species has even developed additional growths on its chin to look even more appealing. The angler fish can catch impressively large prey since it is equipped with a jaw capable of distending, thin and flexible bones and a stomach that can be heavily expanded. The combination of these features makes it possible for the anglerfish to swallow and digest fishes twice its own size. The anglerfishes belong to several different families in the order Lophiiformes, such as Lophiidae and Ogcocephalidae. A majority of the known species of anglerfish live far down in the aphotic parts of the sea. ("

The rank was first used in the 13th century in the Royal Navy and is today used in most services in many countries, including the Commonwealth nations and the United States. Outside the United States, warrant officers are included in the \"\"Other Ranks\"\" (OR) category, equivalent to the US \"\"E\"\" (Enlisted) category and rank between non-commissioned officers and commissioned officers. The warrant officers in Commonwealth navies rank between chief petty officer and sub-lieutenant, in Commonwealth air forces between flight sergeant and pilot officer, and in Commonwealth armies between staff sergeant and second-lieutenant. Warrant officers in the United States are classified as officers and are in the \"\"W\"\" category (NATO \"\"WO\"\"); they are technical leaders and specialists. Chief warrant officers are commissioned by the President of the United States and take the same oath as regular commissioned officers. They may be technical experts with a long service as enlisted personnel, or direct entrants, notably for U. S. Army helicopter pilots.

These officers often had no knowledge of life on board a ship—let alone how to navigate such a vessel—and relied on the expertise of the ship's master and other seamen who tended to the technical aspects of running the ship."

Thus, there is no established \"\"first\"\" enlisted service number of the U. S. Air Force since thousands of airmen simultaneously transferred into the Air Force on 18 September 1947. [ 3]Service numbers were eventually phased out completely by the social security number; the Army and Air Force converted to social security numbers on 1 July 1969, the Navy and Marine Corps on 1 January 1972, and the Coast Guard on 1 October 1974. [ 4] Since that time, social security numbers have become the de facto military service number for United States armed forces personnel. Beginning in 2002, the military began a further effort to protect the use of social security numbers, even within the military itself. New regulations declared that on all but the most official of documents (such as a DD Form 214 or evaluation reports) social security numbers would only list the last four digits. Regulations also were enacted to redact the social security number of reporting seniors (which were written in their entirety) on the personal copies of evaluation reports given to service members."

Only senior enlisted personnel (paygrades E6 & above) may apply for the Navy’s Warrant Officer program. With a minimum of 13 enlisted service years prior to commissioning, they possess a wealth of technical and leadership experience, allowing them to work closely with, and fully understand, the requirements of enlisted technicians in their charge. At sea, the Navy relies heavily on them to supervise the maintenance and repair of all types of equipment, from well-worn to state-of-the-art electronic equipment during extended deployments. In addition to providing technical and managerial skills, Warrant Officers perform a vital function in supporting communications at all levels within the chain of command."

"text": "\" [–] The Jucheis Loose 563 points 3 years ago The rank above Lieutenant General is General (or General of the Army). The \"\"lieutenant\"\" portion of the rank is derived, therefore, of being the person who takes over in the place of the General when he is not present, or, more specifically, the man who carries orders for the General to places he cannot be personally. Look at the parts of the word: the lieu tenant is someone who tends to things in lieu of the usual officer in charge. In this case, the lieutenant general is the man who takes over in lieu of the General. The rank of \"\"lieutenant\"\" in the army is a junior officer below a captain, who has the same relationship to a captain as a lieutenant general does to a general. The rank of major is above captain (in the army), and has no relationship with the rank of lieutenant. You can see this more clearly in naval ranks, where the lieutenants were originally the only officers (other than the captain) and were all different degrees of seniority away from the captain's own authority (first, second, third lieutenant, etc.). Nowadays, we can still see this in the rank of lieutenant commander -- a man who tends to things in lieu of the commander, above him.permalink embed save [–] very_bad_advice 333 points 3 years ago You explain the meaning of lieutenant but not that of major-general. Major actually comes from Sergeant-major general, but the sarge portion got dropped. It also becomes important to know that the full general we call, was called captain general."

Military ranks and the military rank system define among others dominance, authority, as well as roles and responsibility in a military hierarchy. The military rank system incorporates the principles of exercising power and authority, and the military chain of command – the succession of commanders superior to subordinates through which command is exercised – constructs an important component for organized collective action. [ 3]Usually, uniforms denote the bearer's rank by particular insignia affixed to the uniforms. Ranking systems have been known for most of military history to be advantageous for military operations, in particular with regards to logistics, command, and coordination; as time went on and military operations became larger and more complex, military ranks increased and ranking systems themselves became more complex. Within modern armed forces, the use of ranks is almost universal. Communist states have sometimes abolished ranks (e.g., the Soviet Red Army 1918–1935, [4] the Chinese People's Liberation Army 1965–1988, [5] and the Albanian Army 1966–1991 [6] ), only to re-establish them after encountering operational difficulties of command and control."

These men were selected from the Bluejackets and Marines already on duty at Pensacola or on board the North Carolina. They are making excellent progress\"\", wrote Captain Mark L.

Dunlevy, F. Grompe, A. Hayes, and L. A. Walty, and Marine Corps Sergeants J. Makolin and W. E. Mc Caughtry. A second group began training on March 21, 1917 and includes Walter D. Bonner, Clarence A. Hawkins, Oliver F. Kilmer, Guy Mc Laughlin, Thomas H. Murphy, Peter Talbot, Ciochino Varini and Guy A. Walker. A. A. Bressman is in both the first and second class. Most of the initial enlisted pilots are promoted to warrant officer, then to commissioned officer status, and designated Naval Aviators. In addition, a few enlisted men receive instruction and qualify as pilots, but do not receive any designation. Two in this category are Charles T. Briar and Carlton Palmer. With the advent of World War One, enlisted pilot training is discontinued at Pensacola."

Sergeant ( abbreviated to Sgt and capitalized when used as a named person's title) is a rank in many uniformed organizations, principally military and policing forces. The alternate spelling, 'serjeant', is used in The Rifles and other units that draw their heritage from the British Light Infantry. Its origin is the Latin serviens, \"\"one who serves\"\", through the French term sergent. The term \"\"sergeant\"\" refers to a non-commissioned officer placed above the rank of a corporal and a police officer immediately below a lieutenant or, in the UK below an inspector. [ 1] [2] In most armies the rank of sergeant corresponds to command of a squad (or section ). In Commonwealth armies, it is a more senior rank, corresponding roughly to a platoon second-in-command. In the United States Army, sergeant is a more junior rank corresponding to a four-soldier fireteam leader."

While the Astra Militarum ( Imperial Guard) represents the Imperium's ground forces, the Imperial Navy is responsible for the fleets of starships that maintain order between the stars and planets in the Imperium, for all space and air support provided to the infantry of the Astra Militarum, and for transporting those Guardsmen across the galaxy to the Imperium's myriad warzones.

Contents [ show]History Imperial Navy vessels during the Great Crusade Early icon of the Imperial Navy Variant Icon of the Imperial Navy During the Great Crusade to reunite all the scattered colony worlds of Mankind beneath the rule of the Imperium of Man, both the Imperial Guard and Imperial Navy were originally a single service: the Imperialis Auxilia ( Imperial Army ). Collectively, these massive war fleets would come to be referred to as the Armada Imperialis. Under this form of organisation, each Imperial Cruiser would have a single Imperial Army regiment assigned to it. Imperial Army regimental commanding officers held command over both their regiment and the warship assigned to them, making a single warship a tactically flexible combined arms unit and minimizing the damage to the Imperium in the event of the loss of a starship, its crew and its assigned troops in the Warp. During the Horus Heresy, however, it appeared that some Traitor Army regiments used the power of the starships at their disposal in order to forge interstellar empires for themselves in the fires of anarchy that swept the galaxy during the seven bloody standard years of the Heresy. This tendency to make use of the power of an Imperial starship combined with that of an Imperial Army regiment to establish tyrannies on many worlds led to the eventual split of the Imperial Army into the Imperial Guard and the Imperial Navy to deliberately foster a bureaucratic and inter-service rivalry between the two."

Many of today's warrant officers hold bachelor's and master�s degrees, and serve in a broader capacity than their predecessors. Their expertise and contribution to the U. S. military as a community is ever-increasing. Currently, there are five different ranks authorized by Congress: W-1 through W-5. W-5 is a relatively new addition to the rank structure having been created by The Warrant Officer Management Act in 1992. Upon the initial appointment to W-1 a warrant is issued by the secretary of the service, and upon promotion to chief warrant officer (W-2 and above) they are commission by the President of the United States, take the same oath and receive the same commission and charges as commissioned officers, thus deriving their authority from the same source. Despite these similarities, warrant officers are generally not referred to as \"\"commissioned officers\"\" perhaps mostly as a method of disambiguation between the two classes of officer. Though in theory warrant officers are specialists, in contrast to commissioned officers who are generalists, warrant Officers may occupy positions within the military that are normally held by more senior commissioned officers, especially in the Navy where chief warrant officers often fill lieutenant and lieutenant commander billets. In fact, modern warrant officers can and do command detachments, units, activities, and vessels as well as lead, coach, train, and counsel subordinates. As leaders and technical experts, they provide valuable skills, guidance, and expertise to commanders and organizations in their particular field."

The Marine Corps has been a component of the U. S. Department of the Navy since 30 June 1834, [12] working closely with naval forces. The USMC operates installations on land and aboard sea-going amphibious warfare ships around the world. Additionally, several of the Marines' tactical aviation squadrons, primarily Marine Fighter Attack squadrons, are also embedded in Navy carrier air wings and operate from the aircraft carriers. [ 13]The history of the Marine Corps began when two battalions of Continental Marines were formed on 10 November 1775 in Philadelphia as a service branch of infantry troops capable of fighting on both at sea and on shore. [ 14] In the Pacific theater of World War II the Corps took the lead in a massive campaign of amphibious warfare, advancing from island to island. ["

Differences Between a Special Warranty Deed & a General Warranty Deed How to Locate the Deed to My House A warranty deed is a document signed by a property owner giving the title ownership to a new owner. This notification of change must be properly recorded with the county to update official records with the deed title. Various types of deeds are used when declaring property ownership changes in California, with the warranty deed used most often in purchase transactions. Defining Warranty Deed The warranty deed, sometimes referred to as a grant deed in California, gives the new owner warranties about the title of the property. This means that any liens or encumbrances have been disclosed by the grantor to the grantee. The grantor is the person releasing ownership to the grantee, who takes the ownership. Ideally, the property title is free and clear of any liens or encumbrances, giving the grantee a \"\"clean\"\" title. Other types of deeds, such as quitclaim deeds often used for family gifting of property, don't make any of these warranties."

How Do I Get a Copy of My Warranty Deed or Deed of Trust for My Home? In real estate, there are several types of deeds that act as vehicles to pass on ownership. These documents track the sale and purchase of any given property over the years. Deeds also convey to the grantee, or the buyer, from the grantor, or the seller, guarantees or warranties of specific rights that go hand in hand with the property. Not all deeds pass along the same rights or promises. Types of Covenants There are two basic types of covenants regarding property: covenants that run with the land and covenants of title that transfer ownership. A covenant that runs with the land is a condition that belongs to the property and is passed on to each successive owner, such as a condition that the property can be used only for school purposes. There are several types of title covenants, including, a covenant of seisin, by which the grantor guarantees ownership of the property and that she has the right to sell it; a covenant against encumbrances warranting that the property is free of liens; a covenant of the right to convey, which is similar to the covenant of seisin; and a covenant of quiet enjoyment, which gives the grantee peaceful ownership without hostile claims of title from others. A warranty deed contains several of these covenants."

It makes no promises about whether the current owner has clear title to the property. In Florida, quitclaim deeds are often used if the property is being transferred: To a spouse or other family member as a gift;To an ex-spouse following a divorce;To change the nature of marital property;To a living trust or business owned by the current owner;To someone who will own the property with the current owners (adding someone to the deed);From someone who no longer wishes to hold title (removing someone from the deed); or In other circumstances where the current owner does not want to be legally responsible for problems with title. Special language is required to ensure that the deed qualifies as a quitclaim deed. This language is automatically included by our deed preparation service and valid in all Florida counties. Create Deed How a Florida Quitclaim Deed Works A Florida quitclaim deed form is a type of deed that transfers title to a new owner with no warranty of title. A person who transfers property by quitclaim deed makes no guarantees. If that person did not own the property or if there are title issues, the person who receives the property has no legal recourse against the person who signed the deed. Other Names for Florida Quitclaim Deeds Florida quitclaim deeds go by several names. In some states, it is customary to use two words for quit claim, so the deed is often called a quit claim deed instead of a quitclaim deed."

There are several points to consider when choosing the correct deed to use for a title transfer. When you look at the differences between the deeds and scenarios for which each is best suited, you might reconsider using that Quitclaim Deed to transfer title. Quitclaim Deeds: Why They Stink. A Quitclaim Deed (often mistakenly referred to as a “quick claim” deed) is a popular instrument for title transfers. However, when choosing a deed its popularity should not be a determining factor! Many different deeds will convey title to real property, each will be useful for different situations. One of the most important things to keep in mind when choosing a Quitclaim Deed is that it doesn’t even say whether or not the person conveying title owns the property! The grantor offers no “guarantees” as to their ownership interest in the property or the condition of the title, which brings us to reason number 3…Reason Number 3: NO GUARANTEES. Although a quitclaim deed does convey title, doesn’t make any other guarantees, warranties or assurances."

"text": "Warranty Deed: What Is It? A warranty deed is used when a seller of property needs to demonstrate they hold a title for the real estate and that they can legally sell it to another buyer. The deed will look at the history of the property in addition to the current grantor's ownership. The warranty deed will cover many different covenants. This property law deed will require a lot of information in order to be legally binding. Since this is the deed being used to transfer property from one person to another, it is important to have as much accurate information as you have access to. It can be beneficial to have legal counsel review your completed warranty deed to ensure you have included all necessary information in the document to allow you to transfer properties.

Do i have to have a copy of the original deed for transfer to be complete??? Even more specific: it must be recorded. You need to have mom get on her lawyer to act."

"text": "5 Important Facts about Quit Claim Deeds Deeds are legal instruments used to transfer real estate, and almost everyone will encounter a deed of some sort at one time or another. There are three main types of deeds: General warranty deeds Special warranty deeds Quit claim deeds The difference between each type of deed has to do with the types of warranties the grantor (the party selling or otherwise transferring ownership of the property) is making to the grantee (the person buying or otherwise receiving ownership of the property). No Warranties Are Included With the other two types of deeds, the grantee is receiving certain warranties when he or she receives ownership of the property. Usually, these warranties include the promise that the grantor has proper ownership and the right to sell the property, as well as the warranty that the grantor will defend the grantee against adverse claims to ownership from other parties that may arise. However, the grantee of a quit claim deed receives no such assurances. In this case, the grantor is simply “quitting” all claim to the property by giving the grantee whatever ownership interest the grantor has, if any. The deed simply transfers ownership without making any warranties. Thus, if the grantor never had proper title to the property to begin with, then the grantee is receiving nothing. But Sometimes They Are the Perfect Tool for the Job!Just because the grantor isn’t making any warranties does not mean that you should never accept a quit claim deed. First of all, in many situations the grantee does not need (or care about) warranties."

After closing, the Warranty Deed is forwarded to the appropriate county that you reside in to be placed of record. Depending on the county that you live in, the turnaround time for receiving the recorded Warranty Deed varies. The turnaround time for the Atlanta metro counties varies anywhere from 2-6 months. The outer surrounding counties have shorter turnarounds.

"text": "The seller signs over the house title at the closing appointment. Buying or selling a home is a process that involves multiple steps and interactions. If you are considering either, take some time to understand how the process works before diving right in. Typically, the seller has fewer responsibilities than the buyer throughout. One of the last steps in the process is signing over the title to the buyers, which happens at the closing. Preliminary Steps The buyer and the seller must each take some preliminary steps to initiate this process. The seller's portion consists of listing his home on the market and waiting for an offer. The buyer's end of the deal is a little more involved. First, buyers are generally advised to get preapproved for a mortgage loan to get an idea of their price range and monthly mortgage payments. Next, they can select a house and make an offer."

TITLE AND EVIDENCE OF GOOD AND MARKETABLE TITLEDEFINITION OF TITLEIn Georgia, the title to real property is the means or the evidence by which an owner establishes rights in land. The possession of legal title to land is entitlement to rights of ownership of that land, the minerals below the land, the air space above the land, and to some extent, the waters contained on or flowing through the land. GOOD AND MARKETABLE TITLEA good and marketable title is one that is legally sufficient and free from reasonable doubt of defects. It is a title that a prudent buyer would accept and pay fair market value for. A good and marketable title is one proven to be free of legal defects by all the means available to prove the quality of the title. Contrary to popular belief, there is no written instrument that evidences a seller's good and marketable title. Usually, a seller will convey the title to the land by a warranty deed. This deed contains a warranty under which the seller guarantees good title. However, the warranty does not necessarily mean that the title is good and marketable. It only means that the seller will be liable if the title is not good."

Concerns with Buying a Home What are some key issues for me to consider when reviewing a contract to purchase a home? Few people realize that the purchase contract is the most important step in purchasing a home. The details of this agreement determine what you buy or sell and how you buy it or sell it. Before signing, read the agreement carefully and consider the following (not a complete list of issues but intended to give the reader a good start on things to consider): Is the purchase contingent on matters such as the availability of financing on acceptable terms or the sale of the house which the buyer presently owns? Exactly what land, buildings and furnishings are included in the offer? Are appliances, certain fixtures and other personal property included in the purchase price? When can the buyer take possession? Is the seller required to provide good, marketable title? Marketable title is title that can be readily marketed (sold) to a reasonably prudent purchaser aware of the facts and their legal meaning concerning liens and encumbrances. Who pays for the examination of the title to the property in the event the offer is accepted?"

"text": "A warranty deed is evidence of a voluntary sale of a property and a trustee deed represents an involuntary one. Charles Stapleton writes in “California Real Estate Principles” that prior to becoming a state, the territory of California didn’t require a deed to transfer a title to land. Instead, a seller gave a buyer a part of the land, such as a twig, rock or clump of dirt, which signified the transfer of the land to the buyer. Today, when a couple purchases real estate, a deed provides evidence of a land transaction. This transfer of the title may occur when a property owner voluntarily sells his property to you. However, the transfer may also be involuntary, such as when a foreclosure sale results in transferal of a title as an operation of law. In the first instance, a warranty deed may be used. A trustee deed is required for the latter. Deed A deed transfers a property from a grantor to the grantee. The grantor -- the seller -- gives the title to the grantee -- the buyer."

Someone who possesses all ownership interests owns legal title to the property. In practice, the terms “title” and “legal title” are often used interchangeably. Equitable Title A person who possesses the interest or right to obtain legal title to a property in accordance with a sale or mortgage contract between the legal owner and a buyer or creditor owns equitable title to the property. During the period when ownership of legal title is contingent upon the contract, the buyer or lender owns equitable title to the property. Notice of Title Ownership of legal title is a function of evidence. Whoever has the preponderance of evidence will generally be deemed owner of the property. While there is no absolute and irrefutable proof that a party holds legal title, two forms of title evidence—actual notice and constructive notice—assist in the determination. A combination of the two generally provides the best evidence of real property ownership. Actual notice -- knowing something through direct experience or communication."

"text": "Full Answer During wet seasons when there is a lot of grass this is what they usually eat. They find their food in the dry season by digging. They use their snouts and their feet to dig, and they sometimes kneel down on their wrists to get lower. They have pads on their wrists to prevent them from damage. The food they are digging for includes roots, bulbs and rhizomes. When it comes to water, they are very resilient. In the dry season they can go for several months without drinking anything. Warthogs are part of the same family of animals as the domestic pig. Their most striking features are the four large tusks that curl up from the sides of their faces. These are primarily used for digging, but are sometimes employed in combat against other warthogs, or against encroaching predators."

When protecting its family, the warthog will ferociously defend against predators. Warthog Baby Warthog Habits The warthog lives in a family group called a sounder, consisting of a male and female and one or more successive litters. Its prefered habitat is the open plains and grasslands of Africa, especially where there is a good water source in which it can wallow and drink. It has also been found in the arid Sahel region, bordering the Sahara Desert. The warthog makes its den either under a rock or in a sheltered burrow, but, more often, it will sleep and breed in abandoned aardvark dens. When the family enters the underground den, the young climb down head first. An adult is always last to enter, and slides in backwards, facing the entrance with its tusks should any predator try to attack. The warthog is renowned for its courage and ferocity in defending its family. The combination of speed (it can run at speed up to 30 miles per hour) and two sets of tusks to fend off most predators."

This is the range of the extant subspecies, commonly known as the Somali warthog ( P. a. delamerei ). Another subspecies, commonly known as the Cape warthog ( P. a. aethiopicus ), became extinct around 1865, but formerly occurred in South Africa. [ 1]Contents [ hide ]1 Evolutionary history2 Description3 Distribution and habitat4 Behaviour5 Research6 Status7 References8 External links Evolutionary history [ edit]Fossils have been found from the Holocene epoch showing that two divergent lines of warthogs ( Phacochoerus spp.) were in existence thousands of years ago. The ancestors of the present day common warthog ( P. africanus) had a different number of incisors than the ancestors of the desert warthog ( P. aethiopicus) line. During the late nineteenth century, P. aethiopicus became extinct in South Africa. Subsequently, study of m DNA as well as morphological analysis has shown that the East African population of warthogs, previously thought to be a variant of the common warthog, are in fact surviving members of the putatively extinct P. aethiopicus. [ 3]Description [ edit]The desert warthog is a stockily-built animal growing to an average length of 125 centimetres (49 in) and weight of 75 kilograms (165 lb) with males being larger than females. It has a rather flattened head with distinctive facial paired protuberances (\"\"warts\"\") and large curving canine teeth that protrude as tusks."

"text": "How Did the Meerkat Get its Name, Where Do Meerkats Come From, and Do They Hang Out with Warthogs? July 18, 2014 by Karen Hill | Filed Under: Animals The meerkat, also known by its scientific name Suricata suricatta, is a small mammal, and a member of the mongoose family. Native to South Africa, meerkats live about 12 to 14 years. The word “meerkat” means “lake cat” in Dutch, but the meerkat is not in the cat family and the name is a mis-identification. The word is likely from the Sanskrit word “markaṭa”, मर्कट, which means “monkey”. An Indian sailor on board a Dutch East India Company ship possibly mentioned the name, and was misunderstood. According to African legend, the meerkat is also known as the sun angel, and it protects villages from the moon devil which attacks stray cattle. By the way, meerkats only hung around with warthogs in the Lion King movie. But seriously, meerkats hang around with other meerkats in meerkat colonies that resemble prairie dog colonies. Warthogs hang out with other warthogs, although older boars usually live completely alone."

[ 4]The M12 is a four-wheel all-terrain vehicle capable of going over any obstacle without difficulty; under the hood is a forward-housed low-profile liquid-cooled hydrogen-injected ICE I/C plant, coupled with an infinitely variable transmission (IVT). According to a marine's quote, it has a 36-inch ground clearance, however if you look at it ingame, it appears to be only about a foot tall. However, it could mean that with the massive expansion size, as when in mid-air, the suspension extends to 36-inches."

The head is small with eyes set high and a black \"\"tear mark\"\" running from the inner aspect of each eye down to the mouth. The teeth are small to accommodate large nasal passages. The throat and abdomen are white and the tail ends with 4-6 black rings and a bushy, white tuft. We can identify cheetahs by distinctive individual ring patterns on their tails. Their legs are long and the paws are small with non-retractable claws and special paw pads that provide great traction.

"title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wastegate\nWastegate",
"text": "\"A wastegate is a valve that diverts exhaust gases away from the turbine wheel in a turbocharged engine system. Diversion of exhaust gases regulates the turbine speed, which in turn regulates the rotating speed of the compressor. The primary function of the wastegate is to regulate the maximum boost pressure in turbocharger systems, to protect the engine and the turbocharger. One advantage of installing a remote mount wastegate to a free-float (or non-WG) turbo includes allowance for a smaller A/R turbine housing, resulting in less lag time before the turbo begins to spool and create boost. [ 1]Contents [ hide ]1 Wastegate types1.1 External1.2 Internal2 Atmospheric/divorced wastegates3 Control3.1 Manual3.2 Pneumatic3.3 Electric3.4 Hydraulic4 Wastegate sizing5 See also6 References Wastegate types [ edit]External [ edit]An external wastegate is a separate self-contained mechanism typically used with turbochargers that do not have internal wastegates. An external wastegate requires a specially constructed turbo manifold with a dedicated runner going to the wastegate. The external wastegate may be part of the exhaust housing itself. External wastegates are commonly used for regulating boost levels more precisely than internal wastegates in high power applications, where high boost levels can be achieved. External wastegates can be much larger since there is no constraint of integrating the valve or spring into the turbocharger and turbine housing. It is possible to use an external wastegate with an internally gated turbocharger."

A puff of white smoke at startup is normal, if it goes away quite quickly. The injectors do not leak fuel into the cylinders when engine is not running, that is quite impossible as far as I can understand. Oil turning black fast is also normal if you switched from another brand or from mineral oil to synthetic."

"text": "NEXTImage Gallery: Turbochargers The turbocharger system of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX. See more turbocharger pictures . YOSHIKAZU TSUNO/AFP/ Getty Images When people talk about race cars or high-performance sports cars, the topic of turbochargers usually comes up. Turbochargers also appear on large diesel engines. A turbo can significantly boost an engine's horsepower without significantly increasing its weight, which is the huge benefit that makes turbos so popular!In this article, we'll learn how a turbocharger increases the power output of an engine while surviving extreme operating conditions. We'll also learn how wastegates, ceramic turbine blades and ball bearings help turbochargers do their job even better. Turbochargers are a type of forced induction system. They compress the air flowing into the engine (see How Car Engines Work for a description of airflow in a normal engine). The advantage of compressing the air is that it lets the engine squeeze more air into a cylinder, and more air means that more fuel can be added. Therefore, you get more power from each explosion in each cylinder."

It seems like the turbo isnt spoiling up quick enough mabey. It only continues to smoke for about 5 seconds even in a long pull. I have put in a new air filter,smoke tested charge air cooler, and there is no fuel in the oil samples. Is there something that I am missing.

"text": "\"By Douglas Kott Dec 7, 2010Pahrump, Nevada—It's all a bit surreal, like I've stumbled into the first five minutes of a Bond movie. With my right foot queuing up 12.5 psi from a pair of massive Garrett GT35R turbos, I'm shot from a cannon down the front straight...into the rotor blast of a helicopter hovering a mere 20 feet above the track surface. Pilot John Morris (also the track owner) grins through the canopy like a Cheshire Cat; videographer Jay Mc Nally leans out of the flitting chopper like a sidecar monkey, contorting for the best shot. And if those ominous rotors set on Journalist Frappé didn't put me into sensory overload, the Venom GT's raw acceleration does—a savage burst of cheek-smooshing, gut-compressing, momentarily brain-addling force, the strongest I've ever experienced in a road-going car. The twin pop-off valves screech like an 18-wheeler's air brakes as I lift, then nurse the Venom GT through one of the circuit's tight right-handers and—with the caution of a bomb squad's eldest member—get back on the throttle. Historically, the explosive onset of power and high-cornering loads have been shown not to mix, and there's a heart-stopping yaw moment...followed, surprisingly, by hooked-up Michelins and that addictive rush of acceleration. Must...show...restraint. This car's already been sold, and that check won't clear if I wad it into an $895,000 ball of vacuum-bagged carbon fiber and extruded aluminum. Back in the pits now, and John Hennessey seems pleased at my greenish complexion and foal-like unsteadiness as I extract myself from the Venom GT's cockpit. The lapping session here at Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch has been as brief as it's been exhilarating, but if seat-of-the-pants validation counts for anything, it's clear he's built the most formidable supercar in America, and possibly the world."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Volvo FM VGT diesel engine with EGR emission technology Variable-geometry turbochargers ( VGTs ), (also known as variable nozzle turbines / VNTs ), are a family of turbochargers, usually designed to allow the effective aspect ratio (A: R) of the turbo to be altered as conditions change. This is done because optimum aspect ratio at low engine speeds is very different from that at high engine speeds. If the aspect ratio is too large, the turbo will fail to create boost at low speeds; if the aspect ratio is too small, the turbo will choke the engine at high speeds, leading to high exhaust manifold pressures, high pumping losses, and ultimately lower power output. By altering the geometry of the turbine housing as the engine accelerates, the turbo's aspect ratio can be maintained at its optimum. Because of this, VGTs have a minimal amount of lag, have a low boost threshold, and are very efficient at higher engine speeds. VGTs do not require a wastegate. VGTs tend to be much more common on diesel engines as the lower exhaust temperatures mean they are less prone to failure. The few early gasoline-engine VGTs required significant pre- charge cooling to extend the turbocharger life to reasonable levels, but advances in material technology [ citation needed] have improved their resistance to the high temperatures of gasoline engine exhaust and they have started to appear increasingly in, e.g., gasoline-engined sports cars. [ 1]Contents [ hide ]1 Most common designs2 Actuation3 Main suppliers4 Other common uses5 History and examples of use6 References7 External links Most common designs [ edit]The two most common implementations include a ring of aerodynamically-shaped vanes in the turbine housing at the turbine inlet. In general, for light-duty engines (passenger cars, race cars, and light commercial vehicles), the vanes rotate in unison to vary the gas swirl angle and the cross sectional area."

"text": "The 2017 Porsche 911 Carrera and Carrera S get all new engines that improve both horsepower and fuel efficiency thanks to an all-new 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six. Carrera's lumps will peak at 370 hp, 20 more than last year and 45 more pound-feet of torque, for 332 in total. The Carrera S follows suit, using bigger turbos to make 420 hp and 369 pound-feet, respectively. It's too soon to see new EPA numbers, but European cycles saw a 12 percent reduction in consumption, so figure a 2-3 mpg bump across the lineup. Essentially, Porsche is following the seemingly mandatory modern day sports car model: smaller displacement with forced-induction. Yet, despite our initial fears, the 911 keeps its elemental character and spirit. That wasn't an accident. Here are 10 things Porsche did to ensure the new 911 Carrera lives up to its promise.1. Mildly boosted. The Carrera and S lose 0.4- and 0.8-liters of displacement, respectively."

The symtoms went like this. Truck running perfectly on Saturday after pulling a 10000 lb boat. Truck sits on Sunday. Monday morning when I go to work, after turning the key, all I hear is the chatter of the solenoid. Batteries were very low. So I take the truck to Auto Zone for a diagnosis. Batteries and alternator are good, batteries are just low. So I buy a charger for $53 from Auto Zone (every house needs a good battery charger anyway). Next day, when I get ready to go to work, again no crank and I hear the wonderful noise of the chattering solenoid."

Engine Tuning Stage 1Exhaust: The RB20DET is a sweet sounding engine but very quiet in standard form and as with most factory turbo cars the exhaust causes a huge restriction. A good free flowing exhaust will have the RB sounding great, turbo lag will be reduced, and power gained throughout the rev range. The new exhaust should start from the turbo with a dump pipe either a 3\"\" open bell mouth or better still a split dump to separate the gases from the turbine and waste-gate. From here a high quality 3\"\" high flow cat should be used, then 3\"\" all the way to the back of the car with high flow mufflers. Intake: Now we have the exhaust side of the engine breathing the next step is to get more air into the engine. Either use a high performance air filter, or replace the air box with a POD style air filter. If you choose to go the POD filter route I recommend you fabricate some type of shield to keep hot air from the engine bay away from your intake. A cold air intake to the filter from the front of your Skyline will also give you a performance advantage. Intercooler Upgrade: The standard R32 SMIC is tiny and before a boost increase I recommend installing a better IC. If you don’t, you'll risk detonation on warm days."

The LB7 was introduced in the fall of 2000 with an industry leading 300 horsepower and 520 lb-ft torque rating. Not only was it the most powerful engine in this market segment, but it was also a revolutionary step forward in light-truck diesel engine technology and was the first competitive diesel engine designed in recent times for the current light-truck market. Numerous new technologies were engineered into the LB7 design, creating an engine package that met both emissions requirements and consumer performance expectations. Enter the LLY... Introduced in January of 2004, the RPO code LLY Duramax 6600 incorporates a number of significant technology changes. Two forces control diesel engine evolution for all engine manufacturers - Emissions compliance and market share. The technology changes introduced with the LLY address both of these forces. Creating an engine with more power and lower emissions has become more challenging, but that's exactly what the LLY delivers. Way back in the fall of 2001, rumors and discussion with industry insiders pointed to a 340 horsepower Duramax 6600 for the 2004 model year. As late as a year ago, a 360 horsepower Duramax came up in a discussion."

Its main purpose is to take the strain off the turbo when the throttle is suddenly released [1]. Contents [ hide ]1 Characteristics2 Operation3 Disadvantages4 See also5 References Characteristics [ edit]A typical piston -type dump valve, used in auto racing. Unlike a blowoff valve, this one does not vent to the atmosphere. The small hose at the top is a feed from the intake manifold. A compressor bypass valve (CBV), also known as a pressure relief valve or diverter valve, is a manifold vacuum -actuated valve designed to release pressure in the intake system of a turbocharged vehicle when the throttle is lifted or closed. This air pressure is re-circulated back into the non-pressurized end of the intake (before the turbo) but after the mass airflow sensor. A blowoff valve, (sometimes \"\"hooter valve\"\" or BOV) performs the same task but releases the air into the atmosphere instead of recirculating it. This type of valve is typically an aftermarket modification. The blowoff action produces a range of distinctive hissing sounds, depending on the exit design. Some blowoff valves are sold with a trumpet -shaped exit that intentionally amplifies the sound."

The exhaust system can be a vital tool for optimizing the performance of the engine, through the way in which its design manipulates the pressure waves that can crucially assist cylinder filling and scavenging. On the other side of the coin, the exhaust system presents many challenges. It is a major loss-path for thermal energy; and it can be a car packaging nightmare. The environment which a competition exhaust system, and particularly engine headers, must survive, can only be described as a brutal combination of temperatures, stresses, corrosion and vibration. Contemporary exhaust technology can help reduce the problems and help to maximize the potential gains of the system. Figure 1 BMW Formula-One Engine at Full Power It is interesting, from having spoken to several highly-placed and well recognized experts in this field, that while there is general agreement about what features cause improvements to happen, there are varying opinions about the reasons why those improvements occur. Basics The computation of what actually goes on during an exhaust cycle is a highly complex problem in compressible fluid flow, the details of which are explained in detail in several texts, my favorite being Professor Gordon Blair's Design and Simulation of Four Stroke Engines. For the purposes of this article, the following overly-simplified explanation will serve to illustrate the principles. There are two separate components to the exhaust event."

This sounds very much like a vacuum problem. It is not uncommon for vacuum pumps to start sticking on the Xsara HDi. This will cause a lack of vacuum, which in turn causes the turbo to operate incorrectly causing a loss of power. The wastegate of these turbos is normally open, which means it requires vacuum at idle to close the wastegate, and it kills the vacuum supply at high revs to open the wastegate. This also means in the event of a problem the turbo does not overboost thereby protecting the engine."

"text": "How to Adjust the Boost Turboby Emma Green An engine turbocharger uses boost to increase the power output of the engine, forcing air into the cylinders for a bigger bang when combustion occurs. Change the boost turbo amount on your car's turbocharger to further increase horsepower. Just remember that the other elements in the drivetrain -- clutch, transmission, and engine -- will be placed under added stress as well. Doing this depends on the type of turbo in your car. Alter the rod length for a standard Wastegate actuator to open the valve, increasing the amount of boost going to the engine. Conversely, close or shorten the valve to decrease the boost for the vehicle. Look for setting adjustments on the vehicle's regulator valve if your car uses a mechanical control system for the boost pressure. This often involves a knob or dial to adjust the boost on the fly. Twist the adjustment screw to alter the spring tension in an external Wastegate. Increasing the amount of pressure increases the boost, while the opposite is true as well."

Either you bought a 6.9L IDI F-series Ford (rated at 170 hp or 180 hp) or the 130hp, 6.2L Chevrolet C/K-series. As of 2009, Chevy, Dodge, and Ford all offer packages with 350 hp or more, while meeting much stricter emissions standards. The aftermarket has embraced turbocharging as well, with 500-plus-horsepower becoming an everyday figure. Turbocharging is the biggest single reason why today's diesels can achieve these power levels, so with that history in mind, let's take a closer look at how the single most important part on your engine works. The Basics On an average day, air pressure at sea level is about 14.7 pounds per square inch (psi). When an engine is turbocharged, the turbocharger acts like a very high speed fan, which forces more air into the engine. The amount of pressure a turbo can generate is measured in pounds per square inch above atmospheric pressure. So a turbocharged engine with 15 pounds of boost would be moving roughly twice the air of a naturally aspirated engine, and all things being equal, would make roughly twice the power. With newer diesels, boost pressures can be as high as 40 psi, yet the engine will remain reliable, and make three to four times the power of a naturally aspirated diesel."

"text": "Related Articles1Waste Water Technician Jobs2Jobs in the Water Treatment Industry3Wages for a Water Delivery Driver4Passenger Transportation Careers Water purification technicians, also known as water and wastewater treatment specialists, have a dual role in the community. They not only ensure the water coming from your tap is clean and safe but also ensure the water recovered from sewers returns to the environment without harmful chemicals, compounds and elements. Salary The Bureau of Labor Statistics says the lowest-paid 10 percent of water and wastewater treatment technicians in the U. S. earned less than $24,860 per year in 2010. The top 10 percent earned more than $63,680, for an average of $44,270. The median, the point where half earned less and half earned more, was $40,770. Duties A water purification technician controls the equipment, valves and piping system that cleans the water, physically and chemically. The technician ensures the levels of compounds, gases and chemicals such as sodium, fluoride and oxygen, introduced into the water are within the limits allowed by the community. The technician also overseas -- usually from the same or a similar control panel, the purification of wastewater. The technician also works inside the water plant, replacing the bottles of the various gases added to the water and performing other maintenance. Education and Certification Generally, a high-school diploma or GED certificate meets the educational requirements for a water purification technician's job."

The infection may spread to any organ in the body; however, it more commonly affects thejointscentral nervous system, which includes the brain, the spinal cord, and nerves located throughout the bodyhearteyeslungs Left untreated, Whipple disease gets worse and is usually life threatening. What is the small intestine? The small intestine is part of the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract and is a tube-shaped organ between the stomach and large intestine. The upper GI tract also includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, and duodenum, or the first part of the small intestine. Most food digestion and nutrient absorption take place in the small intestine. The small intestine measures about 20 feet long and includes the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. Villi—tiny, fingerlike protrusions—line the inside of the small intestine. Villi normally let nutrients from food be absorbed through the walls of the small intestine into the bloodstream."

"text": "\"Common Questions General Q. What is the Franconia Sewer Authority (FSA)? A. Franconia Sewer Authority (FSA) was created in 1965 to provide public sewer service to those in need in Franconia Township and surrounding areas. It operates according to the Pennsylvania Municipal Authorities Act. FSA was not created to make a profit. The cost to construct new sewer lines is shared among those who will benefit; operating costs are passed on to customers in the form of a quarterly service invoice. Availability/Connection Requirements Q. How do you decide if public sewers are going to be installed? A. Generally, the decision to extend public sewers is based on need – not just the need of one individual, but that of many property owners in a given area. If one or two On-Lot Disposal Systems (OLDS) have failed in an area, attempts should be made to correct the problem on the individual properties. However, if a number of OLDS are failing in an area, the likelihood of correcting these systems on-lot needs to be considered based on lot sizes and soil types. The most cost-effective solution – for current and future failures – may be the installation of public sewer."

A nice drop: we have the technology to recycle water to drinking quality, but have we the will? Flickr/chantel beam photography Email Twitter Facebook Linked In Print Our conventional water supply system that continually captures and delivers water is under great strain because of an increase in population, rapid urbanisation, and drastic changes in climate and rainfall. When the reliance on a continuous supply of water directly to our taps is in jeopardy, we then start to realise that we cannot take the supply of water for granted. The question that has risen recently is whether Australians are ready to accept drinking recycled water. Before we answer the question, let us look at what is it we are drinking currently. What are we drinking now? The majority of Australians are drinking rain water that falls on the land, is collected in dams, transported to reservoirs, is then treated to remove solids and kill pathogens, and is finally distributed to the wider community via networks of pipes (also called reticulated supply)."

"text": "\"From drain to drink: innovations in wastewater reuse Rachel Cernansky Monday, December 16, 2013 - 5:30am Water photo by Vitaly Raduntsev via Shutterstock California is known for many things — surf, sun, cinema — but water sustainability doesn't likely crack the top 100. Yet the state is leading the way in a trend that's picking up around the world: municipal wastewater being treated, disinfected and reused near its source for a variety of purposes, from wetlands restoration to irrigation — and, yes, drinking. Water recycling, also known as reuse or reclamation, is not new; nonpotable (not for drinking) water recycling systems have been in place for decades. In arid states, including Texas and Nevada, and rainy states, such as Florida and Virginia, municipal wastewater is collected and treated to an extent that doesn't meet drinking water standards, but is approved for certain uses that don't involve human contact, such as agriculture, landscaping and golf course irrigation. Today, due mainly to increasing drought conditions and groundwater depletion, nonpotable uses are expanding. Municipalities are figuring out more ways to treat sewage less like waste and more like a resource. In addition to watering golf greens, recycled water is being used for street cleaning, fire-fighting, geothermal energy production, preventing seawater intrusion into freshwater aquifers, industrial processing, commercial laundering, restoring natural wetlands and creating constructed wetlands. Recycled water flows along the San Antonio River Walk, which touts itself as Texas' No. 1 tourist attraction. \"\" Everything that goes down the drain here is treated and reused,\"\" said Greg Flores, vice president of public affairs for the San Antonio Water System, citing university campuses, the San Antonio River Walk and Toyota and Microsoft facilities as examples."

Twenty-five percent of total housing, and 33 percent of new homes in the US use onsite wastewater treatment, also known as septic systems. In addition, Professor Mike Hoover of the Department of Soil Science at North Carolina State University maintains that \"\"forces such as urban and suburban sprawl and the high costs of central sewage systems for builders and governments\"\" increase the number of septic system users each year. For septic system owners, proper maintenance can mean the difference between a long-lasting, trouble-free system and one that ultimately racks up tens of thousands of dollars in problems. Yet, many people receive conflicting and confusing advice about what maintenance is necessary. Most professionals recommend that septic tanks be pumped every 2 - 3 years to remove collected solids, but many private companies have another solution -- use low-cost septic additives on a regular basis to reduce the need for the more costly pumping. Additionally, when a septic system is in trouble and costly repairs or replacement looms, many additives offer a quick fix. So what's the truth? Are septic system additives (there are about 1200 on the market today) the next best thing to indoor plumbing, or are they money down the drain?"

And how does it become soft? Water Softeners Make Water Work Better The Softening Process Reducing regeneration brine flow Researchers Look for Answers on effects of Softeners on Septic Systems Research Results Some Experts Don’t Agree Contacts Parts of the U. S. have what is commonly referred to as “hard water,” and people who live in these areas battle the problems that hard water creates. The most common defense against hard water, which is a nuisance but not a health hazard, is to install a home water softener. Water softening involves exchanging calcium and magnesium minerals present in the water-which cause the hardness-with sodium. As the water softener processes gallon after gallon of hard water on a daily basis, the treatment capability of the softener becomes depleted and must be recharged or regenerated. Regenerating the unit uses a large quantity of sodium-rich water, called “brine,” that must be disposed of. In homes with onsite septic systems, this brine flows into the septic tank and eventually makes its way to the system’s drainfield. People using home water softeners often wonder whether these units might cause problems for their onsite septic systems. Some common questions consumers ask are: Do water softeners hurt the bacteria that work in a septic tank?"

"text": "Posted on March 20, 2013 by Courtney Van Delden We often receive calls about “full” septic tanks. But what does full really mean? A septic tank should always be “filled” to its normal liquid level, or the bottom of the outlet pipe which carries effluent to the absorption area. This normal liquid level is usually between 8” to 12” from the top of the tank on average (see picture at right). If the liquid level is at bottom of the outlet pipe, then one would assume the absorption area is accepting the household wastewater. If the liquid level in a septic tank is above the outlet pipe, or to the top of the tank, we call it “overfull” because the tank is filled above its normal operating level.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Raw sewage arriving at a sewage treatment plant in Syria Sewage (or domestic wastewater or municipal wastewater) is a type of wastewater that is produced from a community of people. It is characterized by volume or rate of flow, physical condition, chemical and toxic constituents, and its bacteriologic status (which organisms it contains and in what quantities). It consists mostly of greywater (from sinks, tubs, showers, dishwashers, and clothes washers), blackwater (the water used to flush toilets, combined with the human waste that it flushes away); soaps and detergents; and toilet paper (less so in regions where bidets are widely used instead of paper). Sewage usually travels from a building's plumbing either into a sewer, which will carry it elsewhere, or into an onsite sewage facility (of which there are many kinds). Whether it is combined with surface runoff in the sewer depends on the sewer design ( sanitary sewer or combined sewer ). The reality is, however, that most wastewater produced globally remains untreated causing widespread water pollution, especially in low-income countries: A global estimate by UNDP and UN-Habitat is that 90% of all wastewater generated is released into the environment untreated. [ 1] In many developing countries the bulk of domestic and industrial wastewater is discharged without any treatment or after primary treatment only. The term sewage is nowadays regarded as an older term and is being more and more replaced by \"\"wastewater\"\". [ 2] In general American English usage, the terms \"\"sewage\"\" and \"\" sewerage \"\" mean the same thing. [ 3] [4] [5] In American technical and professional English usage, \"\"sewerage\"\" refers to the infrastructure that conveys sewage. ["

"text": "\"Our Recommendation to Our Agents To view our \"\"Realtor's Guide to Selling Homes with a Well and Septic System\"\" , click here. Steps to a Conventional Septic System Inspection The septic tank is inspected for signs of decay and broken or missing influent and effluent tees. The septic tank must be cleaned (pumped out) at time of inspection in order to examine the tank's structural stability. The distribution box is inspected for signs of decay. An absorption test is performed on the drainfield to determine if the drainfield lines are functioning properly. We will also look for any other possible threats to the system including root invasion and soil compaction. Years of experience in the field of septic system inspections and septic repairs has taught us many valuable lessons that we would like to pass on to you, the realtor. A lot of times the septic inspection is put off to the last minute after all other inspections are completed and the client is sure that there will be a closing. With newer homes, this is an acceptable practice, but what if the property has an old septic system that may in fact be close to the end of its life expectancy or may need more than a septic inspection and pumping. Repairs and the possibility of needing a new system can be a deal breaker for the buyers."

"text": "Plumbing Repair Basics Water Pressure Regulator How a Water Pressure Regulator Works By Aaron Stickley Updated 04/17/17Share Pin Email Michael Blann / Getty Images What is a pressure regulator? A water pressure regulator is a plumbing valve that reduces the water pressure coming from the main water line into the house. This valve brings down the pressure to a safe level before the water reaches any plumbing fixtures inside the home. Too much water pressure will cause many plumbing problems for the average homeowner so it is very important to keep the water pressure under control. Where is it located? A water pressure regulator, if you have one, is usually located where the main water line comes into the house and after the main shut off valve. This way if you need to work on or change the water pressure regulator you can simply shut off the water main to do so. How does it work? An adjustable spring loaded diaphragm inside a water pressure regulator reduces the pressure of the water in the line within the valve body. Water coming into the valve is constricted and then released at a reduced pressure."

"text": "How Does the Body Regulate Blood Pressure?by KALLI HARRISON Aug. 14, 2017Your body has complex mechanisms that help control your blood pressure, which is is the force against your blood vessel walls (ref 1). Pressure sensors located in the walls of your blood vessels detect changes in blood pressure, and send messages to your brain, directing it to make adjustments in your body that will affect your blood pressure (ref 3). Major Factors that Affect Blood Pressure The major ways your body can regulate your blood pressure include: - Changing your heart beat: When your heart beats faster, more blood pumps through your vessels and blood pressure is higher. Similarly, when your heart beats with more forceful contractions, it pumps more blood with each beat, and pressure rises. - Contracting or expanding blood vessel walls: Blood vessel walls are muscular, which allows them to expand or contract. More narrow vessels cause faster blood flow and higher blood pressure (ref 4). Dilated vessels are wider, allowing blood to flow easily (ref 4). - Kidney function: Your body can also adjust your blood volume by controlling water retention and urination through kidney function (ref 2). The higher your blood volume, the higher your blood pressure. Everyday Blood Pressure Control Blood pressure changes throughout the day."

Wouldn't it be nice to actually know what your doctor is talking about when she makes recommendations to you based on the results of your test? Quick review of the anatomy of the urinary system As we discussed previously, water, waste, and in fact virtually everything other than red and white blood cells are pulled out of the blood in the balled mass of arterioles known as the glomerulus, located at the front end of the nephron. All of this \"\"waste\"\" material then passes into the renal tubule portion of the nephron for \"\"fine tuning.\"\" Keep in mind, that at this point, what we're referring to as waste contains virtually everything including the kitchen sink. If your body could not reclaim most of these elements, since many are essential for life, you would quickly die. That's why that as this pre-urine makes its way through the tubules of the nephron, it is fine tuned, with a bunch of things, including the water, that were previously extracted being put back into the bloodstream, as required by your body."

So, ingesting large amounts of salt results in a high sodium concentration in the blood stream. This in turn causes water to enter the blood vessels by osmosis. More water in the blood means a greater volume of liquid and, therefore, higher blood pressure. This process occurs primarily in the kidneys, specifically in the part of the nephron called the loop of henle (the image below was taken from wikipedia and is originally from Grey's Anatomy): With low salt concentrations, water exits the loop and is retained by the body. When sodium concentration is high, the opposite occurs, water enters the blood stream by osmosis and increases blood pressure.share improve this answeredited Nov 5 '12 at 13:01answered Nov 2 '12 at 16:11terdon10.7k 4 32 66Great answer!"

They are available in virtually every garden center and home center at a very reasonable cost. See the Tool Shed for some examples. The problem is that none of the labels on these hoses that I have seen tell you how to use a soaker hose correctly. Consequently, most people use them improperly and find them wanting. Learn how to use a soaker hose as it is supposed to be used and you will become a believer. Soaker hoses are black and kind of rough on the surface because they are often made from recycled car tires. Water seeps or weeps out of millions of pores along the entire length of the hose, drip by drip. It waters the soil slowly preventing run-off. There is little or no evaporation into the air."

Only allow certified or master certified RV service technicians to work on your ____________ (fill in the blank).” Whereby I’m simply implying that certain tasks should be left to the professionals. There are some procedures, processes and practices that even the most experienced RV owners should not attempt. In most cases, it is in regard to the need of specialty equipment or high-dollar diagnostic test devices or support literature, (schematic wiring diagrams and product service bulletins for instance), which I’m sure most RV owners would not possess. In other instances, it is because specific training is required since some tasks are a challenge even for veteran service techs until hands-on practice or repetition breeds continued success. Am I stating that certified or master certified RV service technicians are perfect because they are certified? That they will be able to diagnose and repair your RV and get you back on the road in the fastest amount of time, job complete, without fail, every time? Absolutely not!"

"text": "⌂ ⟩ Articles ⟩ What Does It Mean For A Timeshare To Be Deeded? What Does It Mean For A Timeshare To Be Deeded? Posted on December 6, 2016 by David Van Norman As a potential buyer of a timeshare property, it is advisable to educate yourself as much as possible. There are varying levels of financial commitment, but no matter how much you ultimately end up owning, being knowledgeable about what you are purchasing is very important. Over the last 20 years there have been many changes to how timeshares are used within each of the popular vacation clubs, however many timeshare clubs still feature a deeded ownership. What You Own When Purchasing a Deed It used to be that when you purchase a timeshare, you were most likely buying a deed to a specific week, unit size and resort. This week would correlate with the number of weeks in a calendar year, starting with the first week in January as Week 1. This can be referred to as your home week, and in many cases, owners have guaranteed access to the week, resort and unit size, as shown on their deed. Typically, owners must reserve their home week within an allotted booking period, and if that does not take place, the rest of the club gains access. Booking periods will be covered in greater detail later in this article."

QUITCLAIM DEED meaning - QUITCLAIM DEED definition - QUITCLAIM DEED explanation. Source: Wikipedia.org article, adapted under https://creativecommons.org/licenses/... license. A quitclaim deed is a legal instrument which is used to transfer interest in real property. The entity transferring its interest is called the grantor, and when the quitclaim deed is properly completed and executed, it transfers any interest the grantor has in the property to a recipient, called the grantee. The owner/grantor terminates (“quits”) any right and claim to the property, thereby allowing the right or claim to transfer to the recipient/grantee. Unlike most other property deeds, a quitclaim deed contains no title covenant and thus offers the grantee no warranty as to the status of the property title; the grantee is entitled only to whatever interest the grantor actually possesses at the time the transfer occurs."

"text": "Smartlipo vs. Liposuction: What’s the difference? By Gregory Nikolaidis, MD • March 29, 2016 • 15 Comments Share Tweet +1 Pin Liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures in the United States, with more than 340,000 surgeries performed in 2014. The procedure (also known as lipoplasty) involves the removal of fat cells from the body. It is ideal for patients who have specific areas of localized fat deposits and have tried unsuccessfully to eliminate them through diet, exercise and weight loss. Today’s liposuction procedures are far advanced from their initial beginnings, when Italian and French surgeons first used suction to remove fat in 1974. There have been two significant advancements in liposuction surgery since then. The first of these in 1985 was the transition to tumescent liposuction, developed by California dermatologist Dr. Jeffrey Klein, where a smaller cannula is used for the procedure. The other significant advancement in liposuction has been the addition of laser light to the procedure, a technique called Smartlipo . Smartlipo received its FDA approval in 2006. How does Smart Lipo differ from traditional liposuction?"

JUST THIS PAST YEAR, MY FIANCEE AND I PURCHASED A HOME. WELL, HE ACTUALLY GOT THE LOAN AND THEN PUT MY NAME ON THE DEED. JUST RECENTLY, WE MAY BE DECIDING TO CALL THE RELATIONSHIP QUITS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT MY RIGHTS ARE AS FAR AS OWNERSHIP? BECAUSE MY NAME IS ON THE DEED, DOES THAT MEAN I EVEN HAVE PART OWNERSHIP IN THIS PROPERTY? IF SO, CAN I REQUEST SPLITTING ASSETS IF WE DECIDE TO SELL AND FURTHERMORE, CAN HE SELL THIS HOME WITHOUT ME ? DOES MY NAME ON THE DEED MEANS THAT I AM PART OWNER? CAN HE REQUEST I LEAVE THE PROPERTY SOLELY BECAUSE MY NAME ISN'T ON THE LOAN? CAN I OR DO I HAVE ANY SAY IN THE MATTER ?"

Note that the article was written for Windows 8, but also applies to Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. Details Windows 8 was released on October 26, 2012. One of the notable features about this OS release from Microsoft is that it contains integrated anti-malware protection known as Windows Defender. There is confusion concerning the name “ Windows Defender”, as that product name has had multiple implementations. Windows Defender, as discussed in this document, APPLIES ONLY TO WINDOWS 8. This document is specifically for Windows 8 64-bit, and Windows Defender as integrated into Windows 8 . This document assumes the use of Internet Explorer and Windows Firewall . For 32-bit users, or those using a different browser or firewall, you will have to adapt any specifics. This document does not discuss Windows Server 2012, or any server product."

"text": "\"What does 'no consideration' deed mean? Consider all the factors, talk to a pro when choosing how to transfer a property When someone says \"\"no consideration\"\" deed, what does it mean? Does it mean no transfer and recordation taxes? No. It actually means that the property is being transferred via deed without money exchanging hands. Not all no consideration deeds are exempt from transfer and recordation taxes. There are a number of situations where a \"\"no consideration\"\" deed is appropriate and some of them are as follows: Transfer between husband and wife;Transfer between individual and a revocable trust;Transfer between Personal Representative of an Estate and the beneficiaries of the Estate;Transfer from individual (s) into an LLC;Transfer from LLC into individuals;Transfer from parents to children;Transfer from children to parents;Transfers pursuant to a divorce decree or settlement agreement;Transfer pursuant to a termination of a domestic partnership;Transfer between domestic partners;Inter-familial transfers i.e. grandparents to grandchildren or sisters to brothers, etc; and Transfer pursuant to a termination of a Partnership or Corporation. This just gives an idea of situations when a \"\"no consideration\"\" deed may be used. It is very important to check your jurisdiction to see if there are any transfer and/or recordation taxes if you choose to do this type of transfer. In cases where transfer/recordation taxes are likely, the tax assessment for the property is typically used to determine the amount of taxes owed."

(On the authority of the above-mentioned narrators), Yazid ibn Khalifah reports from Imam al-Sadiq (A) that he said, “Riya in any of its forms amounts to shirk, (polytheism); verily, one who works for the people, his reward lies with them, and one who works for God his reward lies with God.” 1Riya’ means to falsely make oneself appear to be virtuous, good natured or a true believer in God before the people for the sake of earning their respect and admiration, or with the purpose of gaining good reputation among them. The hypocrite feigns integrity, uprightness, virtue, honesty and piety without an authentic intention of acquiring these traits for the sake of God. It has several grades and degrees. The first stage is comprised of two steps:1. At the first step an individual makes a display of his religious beliefs, and shows off his knowledge of the religious teachings in order to project himself as an honest person in the eyes of people to gain their confidence and respect. Such a kind of person tries to make a display of his trust in God and His Power, saying that he does not believe in any being except Him. He also tries to present himself as a staunch believer through various means, especially by declaring that he depends on none but God. Or such a person, with his gestures and utterances, poses himself to be a staunch follower of the true faith, and this is a more common kind of riya’ than the first one. For instance, when the trust in God or submission to His Will is discussed, he wags his head in affirmation with a sigh, and thus deceives people giving an impression that he is one of the true believers.2."

Will they do better? Last year, only 34.5 percent of city students in grades 3 to 8 passed the math exams, and 29.4 percent passed in reading and writing. Overall, officials said, the scores inched up slightly from the first year of the tougher tests. The high-stakes exams are meant to measure whether students are meeting the Common Core standards, adopted by New York and 44 other states. They spell out the academic skills all kids should gain from kindergarten to 12th grade — ideally, so they graduate “college or career ready. ”The grueling exams demand critical thinking. As educators, it is our obligation to make sure we hold all students to high standards and equip them with the skills necessary to succeed…- Chancellor Carmen Fariña, in a message to principals In three days of English Language Arts tests next week, students will have to read and understand texts, and write out answers, including brief essays, as well as answer multiple-choice questions. The math exams require students to take several steps to get the right answer, and in some cases to explain in writing how they solved a complex problem. Gov. Andrew Cuomo has upped the ante."

During the course of the normal interview, most of the information relevant to this assessment is obtained indirectly. This review provides an opportunity to consciously think of the elements contained within the MSE. In the day to day practice of medicine (and, in fact, throughout all of our interactions) we continually come into contact with persons who have significantly impaired cognitive abilities, altered capacity for memory, disordered thought processes and otherwise abnormal mental status. First and foremost, the goal is to be able to note when these abnormalities exist (you'd be surprised at how frequently they can be missed) and then to categorize them as specifically as possible.

One of the hardest exams in the world, the Uniform CPA Exam is a gateway to a successful and lucrative career. Passing the CPA Exam requires the examinee to study for numerous hours and have a solid and thorough education in accounting concepts. The CPA Exam consists of four sections: Financial accounting and reporting (FAR)Auditing and attestation (AUD)Business environment and concepts (BEC)Regulation (REG)Each section of the CPA Exam covers different concepts and is structured differently. In this article we’ll take a closer look at the BEC section. The BEC section includes topics such as business and economic concepts, financial management, information technology and planning and measurement. The BEC is the only section of the CPA Exam that includes written simulations. As such, this section of the CPA Exam has to be graded by humans, so it may take longer to receive your BEC exam results than for other sections of the CPA Exam. Examinees have three hours to answer the three written simulations and three multiple choice testlets. As a result of this section being hand graded, it is to the benefit of the test taker to utilize a CPA review course for BEC."

Educators, practitioners, regulators, and social workers are involved in the Path to Licensure program to ensure that students successfully transition to professional practice with a clear understanding of the value of licensure and regulation. When ASWB initiated the Path to Licensure campaign, it was a priority to establish as partners both the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) and National Association of Social Workers (NASW). This provided a balanced and authoritative foundation to the program. Together, along with ASWB, individual social work regulatory bodies, and accredited social work school programs, these organizations are the key stakeholders. How does the program help educators? The program will make it easy for educators to include information about professional regulation and licensing requirements in the social work classroom. ASWB will provide relevant and useful information that can be integrated with any number of activities, such as student orientation, field placement, practice classes, policy classes, student association activities, etc. ASWB will also connect educators with the social work regulatory body responsible for licensing in the jurisdiction where their program is located. ASWB can help facilitate the involvement in meetings or hearings of the regulatory body, and also identify the specifics of licensing requirements in the local jurisdiction."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Not to be confused with Western Bloc. Western blot using an antibody that recognizes proteins modified with lipoic acid. The western blot (sometimes called the protein immunoblot) is a widely used analytical technique used in molecular biology, immunogenetics and other molecular biology disciplines to detect specific proteins in a sample of tissue homogenate or extract. Synthetic or animal-derived antibodies are created that react with a specific target protein. The sample material undergoes protein denaturation, followed by gel electrophoresis. Next, the electrophoresis membrane is washed in a solution containing the specific antibody. The excess antibody is then washed off, and a secondary antibody that reacts with the first antibody is added. Through various methods such as staining, immunofluorescence, and radioactivity, the secondary antibody can then allow visualisation of the protein. Other related techniques include dot blot analysis, quantitative dot blot, immunohistochemistry, and immunocytochemistry where antibodies are used to detect proteins in tissues and cells by immunostaining, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA ). The name western blot is a play on the eponymously-named Southern blot, a technique for DNA detection developed earlier by Edwin Southern."

This disease can be difficult for owners and veterinarians to diagnose and treat. The signs in individual horses range in severity and may include incoordination, weakness, spasticity and muscle loss. EPM can look like other equine neurologic diseases, including Wobbler syndrome, the neurological form of herpes virus infection (n EHV-1), rabies, West Nile virus or other equine viral encephalitis diseases, e.g., Eastern and Western equine encephalitis. Refer to the information sheet, Equine Viral Encephalitis for further information. The primary parasite that causes the disease is the single-celled protozoal organism Sarcocystis neurona. Although identified as a protozoal disease in 1974, the specific disease-causing agent, S. neurona, was not named until 1991. Closely related parasites, Neospora spp., and particularly Neospora hughesi, have been isolated as the cause in a few cases (1,2). These organisms have a predilection for the central nervous system in horses."

"text": "Western Blotting is another technique that utilizes antibodies to detect the presence of a specific protein in a sample. It is capable of detecting small amounts of protein within a cell or body fluid. Western blotting grants the ability to find proteins in a mixture. Western blotting, which originated from the laboratory of George Stark at Stanford, is the technique for detecting a particular protein by staining with specific antibody. Its analysis can give us the information about the size of the protein or how much protein accumulated in cells. It does not mean that it can do for any protein since in the case the protein is degraded quickly; it is hard to detect it well. The important thing in this technique is antibody since Western blotting is based on the use of a “quality” antibody as a probe to detect specific protein. In this technique, first we separate the protein by using SDS-poly-acryl-amide gel electrophoresis, which base on the protein’s size. Later, those proteins on the gel are transferred to the surface of a polymer sheet by blotting. As soon as we add antibody that is specific for the desired protein to the sheet, it will bind to this protein since they have nothing else to bind to."

"text": "Frequently asked questions for western blotting. Why are the western blot band sizes different to what is expected? Western blotting is a technique that separates proteins based on size. In general, the smaller the protein the faster it migrates through the gel. However, migration is also affected by other factors, so the actual band size observed may differ from that predicted. Common factors include: Post-translational modification - e.g. phosphorylation, glycosylation etc, which increases the size of the protein. Post-translation cleavage - e.g. many proteins are synthesized as pro-proteins and then cleaved to give the active form, e.g. pro-caspases. Splice variants and isoforms - alternative splicing and isoforms may create different sized proteins produced from the same gene. Relative charge - the composition of amino acids (charged vs non-charged) Multimers - e.g. dimerization of a protein. This is usually prevented in reducing conditions, although strong interactions can result in the appearance of higher bands."

Mutations in SMN T, but not SMN C, cause proximal spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), an autosomal recessive disorder that results in loss of motor neurons. SMN is found in the cytoplasm and nucleus. The nuclear form is located in structures termed gems. Using a panel of anti-SMN antibodies, we demonstrate that the SMN protein is expressed from both the SMN T and SMN C genes. Western blot analysis of fibroblasts from SMA patients with various clinical severities of SMA showed a moderate reduction in the amount of SMN protein, particularly in type I (most severe) patients. Immunocytochemical analysis of SMA patient fibroblasts indicates a significant reduction in the number of gems in type I SMA patients and a correlation of the number of gems with clinical severity. This correlation to phenotype using primary fibroblasts may serve as a useful diagnostic tool in an easily accessible tissue. SMN is expressed at high levels in brain, kidney and liver, moderate levels in skeletal and cardiac muscle, and low levels in fibroblasts and lymphocytes. In SMA patients, the SMN level was moderately reduced in muscle and lymphoblasts."

These tests sometimes arecalled AIDS serology tests. Serology is the branch of immunology that deals with the contentsand characteristics of blood serum. Serum is the clear light yellow part of blood that remainsliquid when blood cells form a clot. AIDS serology evaluates the presence of humanimmunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in blood serum and its effects on each patient's immunesystem. Purpose AIDS serology serves several different purposes. Some AIDS tests are used to diagnose patients or confirm a diagnosis; others are used to measure the progression of the disease or theeffectiveness of specific treatment regimens. Some AIDS tests also can be used to screen blooddonations for safe use in transfusions. In order to understand the different purposes of the blood tests used with AIDS patients, it is helpful to understand how HIV infection affects human blood and the immune system. HIV is a retrovirus that enters the blood stream of a new host in the following ways:by sexual contactby contact with infected body fluids (such as blood and urine)by transmission during pregnancy, orthrough transfusion of infected blood products A retrovirus is a virus that contains a unique enzyme called reverse transcriptase that allows it to replicate within new host cells."

The word protein is derived from the Greek proteios, meaning “of the first rank”. The term was coined in 1838 by the Swedish scientist Jöns Berzelius, to reflect the importance of this group of molecules. A stretch of DNA called a gene carries the information required to build a protein. It is believed that there are between 20,000 and 25,000 genes in the human genome (1), but over 1 million proteins in the human proteome (2), making proteins the most abundant class of all biological molecules. The difference between the number of genes and proteins is due the fact that one gene is able to give rise to more than one protein, and that once produced, proteins can be chemically modified (usually by other proteins) to change their properties and activities. The building blocks of proteins are amino acids."

Examples of Reactions by an HIV-1 Western Blot Introduction An arsenal of laboratory methods is available to screen blood, diagnose infection, and monitor disease progression in individuals infected by HIV. These tests can be classified into those that: 1) detect antibody, 2) identify antigen, 3) detect or monitor viral nucleic acids, and 4) provide an estimate of T-lymphocyte numbers (cell phenotyping). The focus of this discussion is on antibody detection, the most widely used and, in most situations, most effective way to identify HIV infection. General Considerations Tests to detect antibody to HIV can be further classified as: 1) screening assays, which are designed to detect all infected individuals, or 2) confirmatory (supplemental) assays, which are designed to identify individuals who are not infected but who have reactive screening test results. Accordingly, screening tests possess a high degree of sensitivity, whereas confirmatory assays have a high specificity. Tests with high sensitivity produce few false-negative results, whereas tests with high specificity produce few false-positive results. These classes of assays, performed in tandem, produce results that are highly accurate, reliable, and appropriate to protect the blood supply or assist in the diagnosis of HIV infection. Technical errors do occur, however, and there are biologic factors that can limit the accuracy of HIV tests. Therefore, along with the testing process, there is the requirement for an extraordinary and dedicated quality assurance program. ("

We conducted a screen for ISGs that inhibit HIV-1 virion production and found that 2′,3′-cyclic-nucleotide 3′-phosphodiesterase (CNP), a membrane-associated protein with unknown function in mammals has this property. CNP binds to the structural protein Gag and blocks HIV-1 particle assembly after Gag and viral RNA have associated with the plasma membrane. Several primate lentiviruses are CNP-sensitive, and CNP sensitivity/resistance is determined by a single, naturally dimorphic, codon (E/K40) in the matrix domain of Gag. Like other antiretroviral proteins, CNP displays interspecies variation in antiviral activity. Mice encode an inactive CNP variant and a single amino acid difference in murine versus human CNP determines Gag binding and antiviral activity. Some cell types express high levels of CNP and we speculate that CNP evolved to restrict lentivirus replication therein. Highlights► CNP was identified in a screen for interferon-stimulated genes that inhibit HIV-1 ► CNP binds lentiviral Gag proteins and inhibits HIV-1 replication ► CNP blocks virion assembly after Gag and viral RNA associate with plasma membrane ► CNP sensitivity is governed by a single dimorphic codon in the matrix region of Gag Previous article Next article Introduction Type I interferon (IFN) stimulates the expression of hundreds of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs), causing an “antiviral state” in which the replication of a broad spectrum of viruses, including HIV-1, is inhibited ( Ho et al., 1985 ).

Lyme disease is known to inhibit the immune system and 20-30% of patients have falsely negative antibody tests. Did You Know? LLMDS consider the specificity of the particular bands that test positive for a patient. Although the CDC requires 5 of 10 bands for Ig G surveillance purposes, 2 of 5 bands have specificity of 93-96% and a sensitivity of 100%. ( Engstrom 1995).56% of patients with Lyme disease test negative using the two-tiered testing system recommended by the CDC. ( Stricker 2007)The CDC case surveillance definition allows single-tier Ig G immunoblot seropositivity using established criteria. ("

The problem can be solved by three types of blotting methods: Southern blotting, Northern blotting and Western blotting. Southern Blotting Southern blotting is a technique for detecting specific DNA fragments in a complex mixture. The technique was invented in mid-1970s by Edward Southern. It has been applied to detect Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism ( RFLP) and Variable Number of Tandem Repeat ( VNTR) Polymorphism. The latter is the basis of DNA fingerprinting. Figure 9-D-1.

"text": "HIV/AIDS Diagnosis How Does a Western Blot HIV Test Work? The Process of HIV Testing By Elizabeth Boskey, Ph D | Reviewed by Susan Olender, MDUpdated September 10, 2016Share Pin Email Print Science Photo Library - TEK IMAGE/Brand X Pictures/Getty Images HIV testing is typically a multi-step process. The first test used is generally a high sensitivity test, designed to detect as many potential HIV infections as possible. That first test is then followed up by one or more highly specific tests to rule out possible false positive HIV diagnoses. The most common of the highly specific tests used in confirmatory testing is the Western blot. What Makes the Western Blot Different from Other Tests? Western blots, or protein immunoblots, are used to detect specific proteins in a sample. The basic technique of a Western blot involves sorting proteins by length on a gel and then probing the gel with antibodies that react to the proteins that are being searched for. However, when Western blots are used for HIV testing, this process is actually performed in reverse. Instead of unknown proteins being tested for known antibodies, labs work with prepared protein samples and look to see if there are any antibodies in a person's blood that stick to them."

Southern blotting combines transfer of electrophoresis-separated DNA fragments to a filter membrane and subsequent fragment detection by probe hybridization. The method is named after its inventor, the British biologist Edwin Southern. The procedure High molecular weight DNA strands are cut into smaller fragments by restriction endonucleases. The DNA fragments are separated by size by agarose gel electrophoresis and then transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane which is placed on the top of the gel (Figure-1). In Sourthen blotting, before transfer, DNA is usually denatured with alkali for denaturation of the double stranded DNA. The denaturation in an alkaline environment may improve binding of the negatively charged DNA to a positively charged membrane, separating it into single DNA strands for later hybridization to the probe, and destroys any residual RNA that may still be present in the DNA. After transfer of the DNA fragments to the nitrocellulose membrane which is done by capillary action or may be by electrotransfer, vacuum transfer or centrifugation, the membrane is then baked in a vacuum or regular oven at 80 °C for 2 hours to permanently attach the transferred DNA to the membrane. The membrane is then exposed to a hybridization probe (a single DNA fragment with a specific sequence whose presence in the target DNA is to be determined). The probe DNA is labelled so that it can be detected, usually by incorporating radioactivity or tagging the molecule with a fluorescent or chromogenic dye."

"text": "Seattle Subaru CV Boots And Axle Problems Explained By Justin Stobb on August 15, 2009 in All Wheel Drive Auto News, Blogroll, Subaru Maintenance, Subaru Repair Seattle One of the more common repairs we make to Subaru’s are CV (Constant Velocity) boots. Pictured below is a CV or Drive axle on a Subaru. Subaru actually calls the inner joint and boots DOJ (Dual Offset Joint) and the outer joints and boots CV. The typical industry term is inner and outer CV boots and joints and CV axle. A CV axle being a complete assembly consisting of the inner and outer joints and connecting shaft. There is one CV axle per drive wheel. On a modern Subaru there are 4 CV or drive axles. For the purpose of this article I am going to refer to everything as CV. Whichever name they go by, the joint’s job is basically to allow flex or movement out of the drive axle and pretty much every front wheel drive or in the case of your Subaru, All Wheel Drive utilizes this design. The job of the CV boot is to keep the lubricating grease inside the joints and the environment out of the joints as well."

He is an ASE Certified Master Technician and has bruised knuckles to prove it. Contact Author If you own a car, it probably makes noises you can't identify, but would love to fix. Car noises are not just annoying: sometimes they are a warning sign, like the calm before a storm. Here are the four car noises customers most commonly complain about. Sometimes noises are hard to identify, because a noise travels throughout the vehicle and it is hard to pinpoint where it's coming from. But with a trained ear and some insight, we should be able to figure out what is causing the noise in your car and what you can do to fix it. Common Car Noises and Their Likely Causes Noise More Details Likely Cause Fixing It Clicking noise while turning Starts faint, gradually becomes more noticeable until very loud Failed outer CV joint (constant velocity joint) due to torn boot (most likely) or old age Replace either the whole axle assembly (recommended) or the outer CV joint Water pump noises Difficult to diagnose because of water pump's location Noise usually caused by damage to the bearings in failed water pump Only cure is replacing it. If possible do it at the same time as a timing belt replacement to cut down on labor costs Squeak or squeal from an engine belt Loud, high-pitched squeak or squeal Belts either need adjustment or replacing If belts only squeak when damp, they probably just need adjustment. If they squeak constantly, they probably need to be replaced Exhaust heat shield noises Rattle that you hear when car is idling Damaged heat shield Replace heat shield Knocking noise from engine Low knock at idle, noise gets louder as RPM's increase under a load Piston wrist pin or worn crankshaft bearing."

Car repair and tune ups are always needed at some point in your car’s life. With time and usage components become worn out and inefficient. The wheels are obviously one of the most heavily used parts, so maintaining a solid connection between the wheels and the car chassis is very important for a smooth ride. Wheel hub costs will vary depending on who you buy from and the brand your choose. Diagnosing a Failing Wheel Hub There are two main components that might need replacing. It could just be a worn out wheel bearing, which serves to reduce friction and support the weight of the car. If the bearings become loose and worn out, you will hear a rubbing or grinding noise. This indicates a need for repair or replacing the parts. However, the issue could be with the entire wheel hub assembly, which joins the wheel to the vehicle."

"text": "Transportation Costs > Vehicle Repair and Maintenance > How Much Does Broken Axle Repair Cost? How Much Does Broken Axle Repair Cost? An axle is that straight shaft that is located underneath the vehicle. This is a part that is easy to see by simply glancing under the car. The basic function of the axle is to keep the wheels in place. Aside from this function, an axle is also responsible for absorbing the brake and acceleration of the vehicle and bears the whole weight of the car. There are three kinds of axles in a vehicle: a straight axle, split-axle, and the tandem axle. The most common type of axle is the split axle — where the tires on the right and left side of the car are connected separately. This allows the two sides to absorb bumps and dips differently, giving the car a smoother ride. It also allows the tires to turn at different speeds, giving the car better traction when going through turns."

"text": "\"Home » Enthusiasts » Understanding and Diagnosing Rear Differential Noise Understanding and Diagnosing Rear Differential Noise The rear differential plays a very large role in the working assembly of a car, truck or semi. We all know that a vehicle works via its engine’s piston motion which is powered by fuel combustion. But how exactly does the motion of the piston or crankshaft convert to the rotational motion of the wheels? Let’s take a look at the magic of the rear differential and the problems that arise from rear differential noise. What is the Purpose of a Rear Differential? The differential is the final end mechanism that enables the creation of torque in the crankshaft before it is distributed through the transmission, to the drive shaft, and then to the wheels. This part serves to transmit engine power to the wheels while also enabling them to have different rotation speeds. This very purpose is the reason behind the name ‘differential’—because it can distribute different kinds of speeds to wheels especially during a turn. The pair of driving wheels in a vehicle does not rotate at the same speed during a turn. In situations like this, the wheel on the turning side (inside wheel) rotates slower than its counterpart (outside wheel)."

"text": "How to Choose the Right Skateboard Bearings Skateboard bearings are the round metal pieces that fit inside the wheels to mount the wheels to the axle. Regardless of wheel size, all skateboard bearings are the same size and will fit any skateboard wheel that Warehouse Skateboards sells. The universal measurements for bearings are 8mm (core), 22mm (outer diameter), and 7mm (width). Skateboard bearings are sold in sets of eight, as each wheel requires two bearings. You can browse Warehouse Skateboards' vast inventory of skateboard bearings, which are available in a variety of colors to suit your personal style. What are ABEC ratings? Most bearings are measured by an ABEC rating. The higher the ABEC rating, the more accurate and precise the bearing will be. This rating system includes grades 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. The ABEC rating does not specify many critical factors, such as load handling capabilities, ball precision, materials, material Rockwell hardness, degree of ball and raceway polishing, noise, vibration, and lubricant."

While modern cars are more reliable than ever, they still need regular maintenance and many motorists don’t notice a needed repair until something changes, particularly how the car sounds. You’re the most familiar with how your car is supposed to sound, so any new, unusual sound should be a call to action to contact a trusted auto repair pro. “ Any unusual sounds need to be checked out,” says Christoph Erdel, service manager at highly rated Euro Motorworks in Indianapolis. “ The louder and more frequent the noise, the more urgent it is to get it looked at. ”Check out the possible explanation to these five sometimes mysterious sounds that indicate your car needs professional service: RELATED: Angie's List Guide to Auto Transmissions and Repair1. Squealing or screeching when you brake What repair your vehicle may need: New brake pads, rotor resurfacing or replacement“This is usually a sign that brake hardware is worn, resulting in a pad not releasing properly thereby causing excessive heat and noise,” says Ben Stallings, president of highly rated Beck Service Center in Indianapolis. Some vehicle manufacturers also build in a brake wear indication system that emits a squealing noise to indicate brake pads need to be replaced. Installing new brake pads, and resurfacing or replacing the brake rotors if necessary, will help ensure you’ll be able to stop safely and quietly without causing further damage to your vehicle."

Hello, the rear wheel bearings are sold as a unit with the hub. It is a sealed unit, you remove the brakes and rotor, unbolt the the hub unit with 4 bols and replace. I did mine 2 years ago, both rear hubs, at that time they were $300.00 each from a Toyota dealer only. No idea on labor. I inquired about front wheel bearings at that time (I have not had to replace them yet). The front wheel bearings, hub and spindle assembly are pressed together.

Maki, Editor Start: About 6 months ago my wife's 1999 GMC Jimmy developed a noise while driving at highway speeds. It sounded like an airplane about to take off. Actually, I thought the sound was kinda cool, but my wife found it a bit embarrassing. Based on the rumbling noise that I heard when driving straight and turning the steering wheel, I suspected that the front right (passenger side) wheel bearing had gone bad. The front driveline on many 4 wheel drive light trucks is essentially the same as a front wheel drive car. I have had two other front wheel drive cars that developed a bearing noise, but the noise on those cars was more of a \"\"groaning\"\" sound than a propeller airplane."

"text": "\"Symptoms of Bad or Failing Wheel Bearings Common signs include abnormal tire wear, grinding or roaring noise from the tire area, vibration in the steering wheel, and play in the wheels.by Timothy Charlet on January 13, 2016Share Tweet Pin One of the most overlooked yet highly critical parts of the drive-axle and steering assembly are the wheel bearings. Every wheel on your car is attached to a hub and inside this hub is a set of lubricated wheel bearings that allows your tires and wheels to spin freely without building up too much heat. They are engineered to last a very long time, however, eventually they will lose their lubricity, wear out, and need to be replaced. If they break entirely, it can cause a wheel/tire combination to fall off the car while at speed, leading to a very unsafe driving situation. Prior to 1997, most cars, trucks and SUV's manufactured and sold in the US had an inner and outer bearing on each wheel that is recommended to be serviced every 30,000 miles. As technology improved, newer vehicle were equipped with a \"\"maintenance free\"\" single wheel bearing that was designed to extend the life of wheel bearings without having to be serviced. From time to time, these \"\"indestructible\"\" wheel bearings will wear out and need to be replaced before they break. There are a few warning signs that are rather simple to recognize indicating a wheel bearing is wearing out and needs to be replaced.1. Abnormal tire wear There are many individual mechanical problems that can lead to abnormal tire wear including: Under or over inflated tires CV Joints Struts and Shocks Misaligned Suspension However, one of the most common sources of uneven tire wear is worn out wheel bearings. It's very rare for wheel bearings to wear evenly."

"text": "The system apportions / distributes braking force between the front & rear wheels based on distribution of weight within the vehicle. EBD (Electronic Brake Force Distribution) is a technology that enables the braking force of a vehicle to be increased or applied automatically, depending on road conditions, speed of the vehicle, weight of vehicle, etc. In a regular braking system, when the brake pedal is applied, the brake fluid travels from the master cylinder to the brake cylinders. When the fluid goes inside the brake cylinder, the pressure of the fluid being applied forces the two pistons to push out resulting in the brake shoes or pads being pushed out. This push or pressure is in direct proportion to the push by the pistons, which causes the shoes or pads to rub against the drum or caliper. This reaction creates friction and decreases the turning of the wheels. What EBD does is it electronically monitors, through sensors, the conditions of the road, the feel of pressure on the brake pedal, and vehicle weight, to determine when to apply pressure to the wheel cylinders. The sensors are designed to monitor the movements of the wheels and determine based on weight, which wheels may need the maximum force applied, as per the condition met. Supposedly, this is to provide better and more precise braking under every condition imaginable. Since the front end has the most weight on a vehicle, the EBD system recognizes this and electronically controls the back brakes so when the driver applies the brakes, the back brakes do not lock up causing a skid."

"text": "\"Home , Auto Repair Library, Auto Parts, Accessories, Tools, Manuals & Books, Car BLOG, Links, Index Diagnosing Antilock Brake Wheel Speed Sensors Copyright AA1Car When a wheel speed sensor (WSS) fails or there's a problem in the sensor's wiring circuit, it usually disables the ABS system and causes the ABS warning light to come on. Loss of a wheel speed signal is a serious problem because the ABS module needs accurate input from all its sensors to determine whether or not a wheel is locking up. Without this vital information, the ABS system can't do its thing. Wheel speed sensors produce an alternating current (AC) output voltage that varies in frequency and amplitude with wheel speed. The faster the wheel turns, the greater the frequency and amplitude of the sensor's output signal. The strength of the signal can be affected by resistance in the sensor, resistance in the wiring and connectors, metallic debris on the end of the sensor, and the air gap between the sensor and tone ring mounted on the axle, hub, brake rotor, drum or CV joint. A narrow air gap is usually necessary to induce a strong signal in the sensor's magnetic windings. Air gaps typically range from .016 in. to as much as .050 in.

This is a normal range for all passive sensors. The specification for active sensors is between 1,000 and 2,500 ohms. AC VOLTAGEWith the meter set to AC voltage, spin the wheel by hand. The sensor should produce between .5 to 1 volt of AC current. The faster the wheel is spun, the more voltage is produced. BIAS VOLTAGE PASSIVESENSORSSome vehicles will send a DC voltage to the sensor through the ground wire. The signal will ride up on the DC signal. This is done so that the sensor can be tested by the ABS system without the vehicle moving. These types of vehicles will set WSS codes the moment the key is turned on."

"text": "Home > How To > How to Repair ABS sensor > What is an ABS Sensor What is an ABS Sensor Introduction: An ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) is an enhanced braking system which is commonly found in newer automobiles. An anti-lock brake sensor or ABS sensor is a type of tachometer that measures the rotational speed of a wheel and passes it to the car's Engine Control Module (ECM). The ABS sensor is also called the wheel speed sensor or ABS brake sensor. Since all the wheels do not turn at the same speed, the ABS sensors report the speeds of all the four wheels to the ECM, based on which the ECM determines if the wheels are locking up. The application of the ABS brake is quicker than manual brakes. Due to this, when the ABS is engaged, it emits a grinding noise in some automobiles. Location: Older configurations of ABS had the sensors located outside the wheel hub in parts such as the steering knuckle and differential housing. The ABS sensor is coupled with a ring gear. The ring is mounted on components such as the brake rotor and brake drum. The ABS sensors in newer systems are fitted in the wheel hub assembly itself."

How Cruise Control Is Supposed To Work The speed is selected by pushing the SET button on your steering wheel, and the vehicle should stay at this speed until you tap the brakes, accelerate for passing, choose a different speed or hit the OFF or CANCEL button. When you press RESUME after you have decelerated, the control will take you back to your last selected speed. You may use the accelerate (+) or the decelerate (-) buttons to increase or decrease your select speed. Some notes: Cruise control typically does not work unless you are driving at least 30 mph, and will not work if you’re in a low gear. It also doesn’t usually work at high speeds (over 90mph). Cruise control won’t resume automatically if you hit the brakes, even you touch them accidentally."

View repair cost for my car Get a repair estimate for your car Submit What is an ABS wheel speed sensor? The wheel speed sensor is the primary data source for the ABS system. In order for the anti-lock brake (ABS) control module to react to driving conditions, wheel speed sensors (WSS) are placed on all four wheels, and constantly transmit the speed of each wheel to the ABS control module. They are mounted in the hub, close to the brake calipers, where they can monitor how fast the axle is turning. How does the ABS wheel speed sensor work? They are mounted in the hub, close to the brake calipers, where they can monitor how fast the axles are turning. All four WSS work in unison by providing four independent signals to the ABS control module, which allows the control module to correct for slipping if one or more wheels stop rotating."

"text": "\"2005 Chevrolet Silverado: Service 4WD Light Comes On Weekly By Alex Steeleseen in Truck Trend Question: I have a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado and my SERVICE 4WD light comes on about once a week. When the light is on, the truck won't engage into 4-wheel drive. When I turn my truck off and start it again, the 4-wheel drive will work until the next time the light comes on. If I turn off the truck with the 4-wheel drive engaged, when I turn the truck back on, it is still engaged. I have replaced the switch on the dash. GM has replaced the electronic control module and updated a program. It seems to happen most often when I hit bumps, especially wash boarded gravel roads. It seems like it could be a bad connection or ground. Answer: The VIN tells me you're driving a half-ton with the 5.3-liter V-8. When the Service 4WD indicator lights up it's telling us there's a problem related to the Transfer Case Shift Control Module, the appropriate Diagnostic Trouble Code has been stored in the control module's memory, and it's gonna shutdown 4x4 operation to prevent additional damage."

"text": "What Does the ABS Warning Light Mean? The ABS light is on due to anti-lock braking system issues. Causes include low brake fluid, a blown fuse, or abnormal signals from wheel sensors.by Spencer Cates on September 08, 2016Share Tweet Pin While you are driving, your vehicle constantly monitors sensors throughout the car to ensure that everything works as intended. One of the systems being monitored is the anti-lock braking system (ABS). The ABS monitors the wheels to make sure that they are all turning at approximately the same speed. The system can then use the brakes to keep the vehicle under control during slippery situations. What the ABS light means The ABS system uses sensors at each wheel to monitor their rotational speed. A computer monitors the signals from all four wheels and the position of the brake pedal to make sure that the vehicle is stable and under control. If the computer notices any abnormal signals, or the lack of a signal from any of the sensors, it will turn the ABS light on, to alert the driver of an issue. In addition to monitoring the wheel speed sensors, the computer can turn the ABS light on for other reasons like low brake fluid levels or a blown fuse."

"text": "How Does Power Steering Impact a Vehicle’s Handling?by Doug Couchman on November 17, 2015Share Tweet Pin Many cars today, and almost all trucks and utility vehicles, feature power steering. Power steering (also known as power-assisted steering) greatly eases parking and other low-speed driving and it’s a practical necessity for heavier vehicles and for drivers who aren't very strong. But how does it affect handling? Power steering is pretty much what it sounds like: a power steering system helps the driver turn the wheels using hydraulic or electric power (or both). The system may just provide a helpful push or it may do all the work itself in response to the motion of the steering wheel; either way, turning a vehicle with power steering requires less effort than it otherwise would. Automotive power steering systems vary greatly in design, but a typical hydraulic setup includes the following: A sensor attached to the steering wheel that detects force or torque — in effect, the system “knows” when the driver turns the steering wheel and the car’s wheel haven’t caught up yet, so the system can provide assistance when it’s needed. A pump, driven by the car’s engine (usually by means of a belt), to raise the pressure in the power steering fluid up to as much as 100 times atmospheric pressure. A collection of valves that direct the high-pressure fluid through hoses or metal tubes to one side or the other of the steering system according to how the steering wheel has been turned. Actuators with which the high-pressure power steering fluid helps push the front wheels to one side or the other (the details depending on whether the vehicle has rack-and-pinion or recirculating ball steering). Electric power steering systems work differently but achieve similar results."

[ 1] Another description is: \"\"The practice, action, or system of inserting points or other small marks into texts, in order to aid interpretation; division of text into sentences, clauses, etc., by means of such marks.\"\" [ 2]In written English, punctuation is vital to disambiguate the meaning of sentences. For example: \"\"woman, without her man, is nothing\"\" (emphasizing the importance of men), and \"\"woman: without her, man is nothing\"\" (emphasizing the importance of women) have very different meanings; as do \"\"eats shoots and leaves\"\" (which means the subject consumes plant growths) and \"\"eats, shoots, and leaves\"\" (which means the subject eats first, then fires a weapon, and then leaves the scene). [ 3] The sharp differences in meaning are produced by the simple differences in punctuation within the example pairs, especially the latter."

"text": "\"ASCII CODESI've searched all over the internet looking for a list like this of these codes ( ASCII codes ), but couldn't find them anywhere. Now, I've made a list of them myself as I found them out. Remember that in different programs, different characters may or may not appear. For example, in notepad, the ← appears to be a - with no arrowhead. In internet browsers, especially IE, the special characters should show up accurately. To create these characters yourself, hold \"\"alt\"\" down and type the numbers in on the right side of the keyboard (num pad) then let go of the buttons and the character will appear. This is a great way to experiment with new symbols, signs and characters, and it's also good if a button or letter on your keyboard stops working, because you can still type it using the num pad. Just look down the list to find your letter. You may also be interested in a much smaller, but more rare list of special ascii characters for text art. Some of the symbols have been listed in bold to separate them clearly from their descriptions."

"text": "\"Fix ›Windows Fixing a Yellow Exclamation Point in Device Manager Why does Device Manager show a yellow exclamation point? Share Pin Email Print Martin Diebel / Getty Imagesby Tim Fisher Updated March 11, 2018See a yellow exclamation point next to a device in Device Manager? Don't worry, it's not that uncommon and it doesn't necessarily mean you have to replace anything. In fact, there are dozens of reasons that a yellow exclamation point might show up in Device Manager, some more serious than others, but usually well within anyone's capabilities to fix, or at least troubleshoot. What's That Yellow Exclamation Point in Device Manager? A yellow exclamation point next to a device in Device Manager means that Windows has identified a problem of some kind with that device. The yellow exclamation mark provides an indication of a device's current status and could mean that there is a system resource conflict, a driver issue, or, frankly, almost any number of other things. Unfortunately, the yellow mark itself doesn't give you any valuable information but what it does do is confirm that something called a Device Manager error code has been logged and associated with that particular device. Fortunately, there aren't that many DM error codes, and the ones that do exist are pretty clear and straightforward. What this means, then, is whatever problem is occurring with the hardware, or with Windows' ability to work with the hardware, you at least will have a clear direction as to what to do."

Also called independent because it can stand alone as a sentence. The baby cried. Subordinate clause, or dependent clause, contains a subject and predicate but cannot stand alone. This type of clause must be used with a main clause in order to make sense. It usually begins witha subordinate conjunction (lesson 10- see next slide);a relative pronoun such as who, whom, whose, whoever, whomever, which, whichever, that, what, whosoever, whatever;Maya is the student who wrote the article.or a relative adverb, such as when, where, or why.

What does this mean? Reply I have the same question (15)Boss Dweeb replied on July 9, 2012A: In reply to Lena Mitchell's post on July 8, 2012I'm not familiar with those sort of games. PC games can be altered with modifications (mods), and meshes are the 3D objects. ( 3D being an object that can be viewed on all sides). These meshes use whats called textures to give them detail and colour. It's sort of like draping a painting over a statue. If a mesh is missing from a game (specifically games from the company that made Ovlivion ) you will see an exclamation mark like you described. The sort of games you are playing may not use meshes at all . There may be a facebook forum where you can find out more about the Apps/games you are using."

"text": "More Animal Symbolism Horse Symbolism Horse At one point in time, there were wild horses on every single continent on the planet. Now, we have domesticated most of them. Some of the earliest horses were as small as dogs. Because of the domestication of horses, civilization was allowed to spread over vast areas. Ted Andrews even says that no animal has contributed more to the spread of civilization as the horse. Although the horse was present in many different cultures, they represent the same concepts of freedom and power. In some cultures, white horses stand for the balance of wisdom and power. In others, like Christianity, the white horse is a symbol of death. The horse is a universal symbol of freedom without restraint, because riding a horse made people feel they could free themselves from their own bindings. Also linked with riding horses, they are symbols of travel, movement, and desire."

They resemble a strange mixture of a horse, donkey and their black and white stripes only add up to their stunning appearance. People found zebras to be interesting for centuries and many tribes in Africa even worshiped this animal and considered it to be special. Black and white stripes on a zebra definitely stand out from the desert sand. Zebras only inhabit the continent of Africa, so most of the symbolism comes from the tribes that live there. In popular cultures, zebra’s symbols are being used in advertising different areas of human production, and in literature we find zebras in many books, stories and myths. If you were ever interested in the secret and symbolic meaning of this beautiful animal then this is the time to find out more.

"text": "\"Meaning: Red Carved Wooden Dalecarlian Dala Horse from Dalarna, Swedenby K Shabi PUBLISHED 30 October 2013If you travel or take a vacation to Sweden and buy souvenirs, you will most likely encounter the symbol of the Dala horse, sometimes known as a Dalecarlian horse or Dalarna horse. What is the meaning and history behind these red painted wooden toy horses from Sweden? Red Wooden Horse Traditional Swedish Folk Art Many of us have seen the red Dalecarlian horse unaware that the Dala horse is one of the most famous examples of Scandinavian and specifically Swedish folk art. The name \"\"Dala horse\"\" ( Dalahäst) is partly an abbreviation or nickname derived from the word \"\"Dalecarlian,\"\" referring to the language/dialect spoken in the Swedish province of Dalarna, the place where these red carved horses originated back as early as the sixteenth century. While Dalecarlian horses began as unpainted wooden toys whittled and carved cheaply with a knife for children to play with, red Dala horses painted with the now distinctive decorative white and green ornamentation were presented as examples of traditional Swedish folk art at the World's Expo in Paris (1937) and World's Fair in New York (1939). What is the meaning of the Dala horse and its unique ornamentation? Swedish Dala Horse Meaning & History The meaning and story behind the Swedish Dalecarlian horse is widely debated and largely unknown, with some even citing Norse mythology to explain Sweden's fascination with carving little wooden horses. While the Dala horse itself may have pagan origins, the history and meaning of the Dala's flowery white and green painted kurbits (translated from Swedish as \"\"pumpkin\"\" or \"\"gourd\"\") decorations is easier to trace. Kurbits Painting of Dala Horses Almost as symbolic of Swedish folk art as Dala horses themselves, the kurbits style of decorative painting is also associated with the Dalarna province and was used to decorate furniture and other things popular in a traditional Swedish household in the seventeenth and eighteenth century. Traditionally Dala horses were generally left unpainted or painted solid red, but in the 1830s Swedish artist Stikå Erik Hansson became known for painting his own unique Dala horses with a two-color simplified form of kurbits decoration."

The traditional nomadic culture was greatly influenced by the introduction of Buddhism from India, to an extent that nearly all the cultural achievements of Tibet are related to the Buddhist religion.

However, Freud's therapeutic input in this case was minimal, and a secondary aim was to explore what factors might have led to the phobia in the first place, and what factors led to its remission. By 1909 Freud's ideas about the Oedipus complex were well-established and Freud interpreted this case in line with his theory. Freud didn't actually work directly with little Hans, but instead worked through correspondence with Hans' father, who was familiar with Freud's theories, and wrote to him when he first suspected that Hans had become a case that Freud might be interested in. Freud suggested possible lines of questioning which the father could try with Hans, and the father tried them and reported to Freud what had taken place. The first reports of Hans are when he was 3 years old when he developed an active interest in his ‘widdler’ (penis), and also those of other people. For example on one occasion he asked ‘Mummy, have you got a widdler too? Throughout this time, the main theme of his fantasies and dreams was widdlers and widdling. When he was about three and a half years old his mother told him not to touch his widdler or else she would call the doctor to come and cut it off."

Some descriptions include: a horse with a horn, a beast resembling a rhinoceros, an ass with a horn, a goat-like creature, a stag, and sometimes a combination of these and other animals. It has both secular and Christian significance. It represents various aspects of romantic love, magic, and providence, and it has also been seen as a symbol of Christ. The myth of the unicorn contains something for almost everyone. According to a Western tradition, when God commanded that Adam and Eve should name all of the animals of the Earth, the first one given a name was the unicorn. Because of that, God gave that creature a special blessing and touched it on the tip of its horn. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God's command and were banished from the Garden of Eden, the unicorn was given the choice to follow Adam and Eve into the world or remaining in paradise. The unicorn chose to follow them into the world of pestilence, war, pain, and death. The unicorn was blessed forever after for his compassion."

The \"\" shafan \"\" in Hebrew has symbolic meaning. Although rabbits were a non- kosher animal in the Bible, positive symbolic connotations were sometimes noted, as for lions and eagles. 16th century German scholar Rabbi Yosef Hayim Yerushalmi, saw the rabbits as a symbol of the Diaspora. In any case, a three hares motif was a prominent part of many Synagogues.

"text": "27Nov Bat Dream Interpretation and Meaning By Carrie | Animals | 55 Comments The bat as a symbol has been associated with words like rebirth, intuition, communication, inner depth, initiation, and illusion. For most people, bats have a negative connotation – mostly learned from vampire movies – so a dream of a bat tends to inspire feelings of fear. Native Americans, however, view the bat as an interconnected part of all creation, and the symbols attached to it typically involve intuition and vision. These associations are based on the fact that bats are very sensitive to their surroundings in nature. Native Americans might invoke a bat spirit if they needed special energy, such as the ability to “see” clearly and identify illusions or ambiguity in a matter, going straight for its core truth. Bats symbolize rebirth because they live in cave-like environments and come out in the evening, effectively being “reborn” every night from within Mother Earth. Native Americans considered the bat to be a symbol of communication because bats have strong family ties and are extremely nurturing and social creatures. They are very sensitive to the other members of their group and constantly communicate with them. A dream of a bat suggests issues associated with free will and freedom as well, since bats can fly!The dream bat indicates that you are very aware of the things that surround you in your environment and that you may be overly sensitive to the feelings of other people in your life. It also suggests that you are blessed with psychic perceptions and may have prophetic dreams."

If so, you are not alone. So how did the Easter bunny get its job delivering colorful Easter eggs? After all rabbits are mammals and don’t even lay eggs. Shouldn’t the symbol for Easter be an animal that actually lays eggs, like a lizard or chicken? In Germany, rabbits have been associated with spring and fertility since the pre-Christian era. In fact, the rabbit was the symbol of Eostra—the pagan Germanic goddess of spring and fertility. This isn’t surprising when you consider that rabbits are prolific breeders."

"text": "Red deer Origins Red deer are our largest and the only native species to Ireland. They are believed to have had a continuous presence in Ireland since the end of the last Ice Age (c. 10,000 BC). At this time they roamed freely through out Ireland, however as a result of deforestation, over hunting and the Great Famine (1845 - 1847) many populations became extinct. By the middle of the 19th century the last home of the Red deer was in the woodlands and mountains around Killarney, where their preservation was due to the strict protection of the two large estates of Herberts of Muckross and the Brownes, Earl of Kenmare. It is known that at the turn of the century there were in excess of 1500 Red deer in Killarney. This declined between 1900 and 1960 to as few as 60. As a result of rigorous protection and management they have increased to 690 in the early 1990's within the National Park. Identification The Red deer has a rich red coloured coat, darkening down to a greyish brown in winter. A mature stag carries a large rack of antlers, which are at peak condition in the early autumn for the rut, when they are used for bouts of sparring between rivals. A dominant animal may have 18-20 points (tines) on the antlers, although 14-16 is more common."

"text": "\"| Main | Stag beetle mouthparts | Can the males bite? |What do stag beetles eat? The answer to this question is a bit complicated because their enormous antlers are enlarged mandibles, which are totally useless for eating, but can give you the odd pinch, of course. So this raises a lot of questions. First of all: Can stag beetles eat? Yes! But they can't eat any solids. Instead, sometimes they might have a drink. Indeed, one of my early experiences is that they were rather partial to sweet juicy fruits. As you can see below the beetle is very interested in on a juicy melon."

"text": "Sika Deer History Sika deer were initially found in southern Siberia and the Japanese island of Hokkaido in the north along both mainland and island chains to southwestern China and Taiwan. They were located by western zoologists in the middle of the 19th century, when they found many (more than 70) subspecies, especially in the Asian continent. The Chinese chemists bred and cross-bred sika for centuries and used virtually every part of the animal. In Japan, however, herds ran free throughout the country. Those in the north had large body and antler size, while those in the southern region were smaller. The first sika were introduced in America to Maryland in 1916, and into Texas in 1939. SPECIES SPECIFICSGeneral Sika deer tend to range in color from mahogany to black. They are rarely white with very few documented cases of white as opposed to albino. All colors carry a distinctive black dorsal stripe from the base of the skull to the tail. Most animals have some degree of spotting with the mahogany color generally carrying white spots and the darker colors having either white or black spots or black flecking."

"text": "Is That Your Final Antler? During December, the antlers of mule and white-tail deer, moose and stag caribou fall to the ground, making it common to see animals with just a single antler. Elk retain their antlers throughout the winter, only shedding them with the onset of spring. The antlers don't stay on the ground for long because the local rodent population makes short work of this high quality source of calcium. While the antlers are impressive to look at, they are even more impressive on an evolutionary scale. Why Grow Antlers? In every animal population, strategies have developed to help ensure the strongest individuals get the greatest opportunity to mate. While antler size has no bearing on the age of the individual, it IS a great indicator of the health of the animal. Antlers are renewed each year meaning the stags need to find a large source of calcium to supply the antler growth. With a diet of green vegetation, one might wonder where this secret source of calcium originates."

Some say penalties are far too harsh, comparing DDo S attacks to peaceful protest. Others argue that these types of attacks are criminal and meant to disrupt and cause damage. Regardless of what side of the fence you stand, the reality is that DDo S is a difficult issue to address. Distributed denial of service is the act of overwhelming a server until it can no longer perform. In simple terms, a successful DDo S attack occurs when repeated requests are sent to a target machine at a rate that exceeds the bandwidth and capabilities of the web server, causing it to go offline. There is no lasting damage, but until the attack stops there will be intermittent performance issues and downtime. In the United States, DDo S attacks fall under federal statutes. Participants run the risk of being charged with both criminal and civil complaints."

"text": "\"Northern European Shamanism: A Preliminary Reconstruction Copyright © 1989 Leigh Ann Hussey Une traduction en français de cette page peut être trouvée ici. ( It's got cool pictures, too! ;) Shamanism has come to be associated almost exclusively, in American popular thinking, with the aboriginal inhabitants of the Americas. This not only inaccurately reflects the extent of shamanism's practice (it is found from Australia to the Arctic) but also, sadly, contributes to a neglect by those of European descent of the shamanic practices of their own ancestors. One cause of this neglect has been the carefully fostered image of Europe as the wellspring of Western Civilization, by which tribal origins and traditional life are often glossed over. However, I was delighted to discover, when I examined ancient sources, that I did not need to borrow from other traditions; it is clear that tribal Europe had as strong a shamanic tradition as, for example, any of the American Indian tribes. It is fitting that other people, too, of European descent examine this European Shamanic tradition; it is a rightful part of our heritage so there need be no accusations of theft or exploitation, and its images and symbols ring more truly in our collective unconscious than those of other cultures. This is a survey of a few shamanic elements that occur within Western shamanic traditions, obscured as they are by time and cultural discontinuity. I will be using material from many Northern European cultures, on the assumption that each one may have retained some element that the others have lost. The similarities between them all have convinced me that there actually was, once, a unified European system, and Hilda R. Ellis Davidson, in Myths and Symbols of Pagan Europe (1988), shows in depth how the Celts and the Germanic tribes were at one time, before the establishment of the Roman empire, one people."

"text": "\"Religious Symbolism And The Unicorn Summary of Traditions The unicorn has symbolized many things throughout history, and it is depicted in many ways. Some descriptions include: a horse with a horn, a beast resembling a rhinoceros, an ass with a horn, a goat-like creature, a stag, and sometimes a combination of these and other animals. It has both secular and Christian significance. It represents various aspects of romantic love, magic, and providence, and it has also been seen as a symbol of Christ. The myth of the unicorn contains something for almost everyone. According to a Western tradition, when God commanded that Adam and Eve should name all of the animals of the Earth, the first one given a name was the unicorn. Because of that, God gave that creature a special blessing and touched it on the tip of its horn. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God's command and were banished from the Garden of Eden, the unicorn was given the choice to follow Adam and Eve into the world or remaining in paradise. The unicorn chose to follow them into the world of pestilence, war, pain, and death. The unicorn was blessed forever after for his compassion."

"text": "Genre Buzz: Scottish Highland Dance Written by Carlye Eckert on April 20, 2015Highland dance or Highland dancing is a style of competitive solo dancing developed in the Scottish Highlands in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in the context of competitions at public events such as the Highland games, where it is often performed to the accompaniment of Highland bagpipe music. It is now seen at nearly every modern-day Highland games event. Highland dancers wear specialized shoes called ghillies. Highland dance has been subject to many influences from outside the Highlands. For example, it has been heavily influenced by the aesthetics of the patrons of Scotland since the nineteenth century and ballet. Highland dance should not be confused with Scottish country dance. Highland dance is its own sport, with millions of dancers competing across the planet. Basic description of Highland dancing Royal Military College of Canada Scottish highland dance, piper, drummers Highland dancing is a competitive and technical dance form requiring technique, stamina, and strength, and is recognized as a sport by the Sport Council of Scotland. In Highland dancing, the dancers dance on the balls of the feet Highland dancing is a form of solo step dancing, from which it evolved, but while some forms of step dancing are purely percussive in nature, Highland dancing involves not only a combination of steps but also some integral upper body, arm, and hand movements. Highland dancing should not be confused with Scottish country dancing which is both a social dance (that is, a dance which is danced with a partner or partners) like ballroom dancing, and a formation dance (that is, a dance in which an important element is the pattern of group movement about the dance floor) like square dancing."

"text": "\"The \"\"Meaning\"\" of Coats of Arms Generally speaking it is almost always impossible to accurately decipher the meaning of the symbolism on any personal coat of arms. Many of the arms in use today, or on which today's coats of arms are based, were granted hundreds of years ago and if there was ever a specific meaning to the symbols, then this is probably lost in history. Even in situations where there are records of the granting of arms, rarely, if ever, is the symbolic significance recorded. There are of course exceptions. For example, in civic heraldry, coats of arms of towns, regions and countries often have clear symbolism. For example, the coat of arms of Cork shows a tall ship entering the harbour, clearly symbolising Cork history as an important sea-port. Rarely though are personal arms so easily deciphered, but sometimes it can be done. Occupational names can often be reflected in their arms. Examples include the Catherine wheel on the Wheeler arms (the Catherine wheel is an instrument of torture, so I hesitate to guess what the Wheeler's original occupation was); the garbs (or sheaf) found on some Weaver arms; the wheel on the Cartwright arms and so on. Other easily deciphered symbols are those of canting arms in which the arms represent a pun on the bearer's name."

The Hangover - a sign of immaturity, according to women is men getting too excited over stag do's Photo: REX FEATURES11:06AM BST 10 Jun 2013A study into the differences in maturity between genders revealed both men and women agree men remain 'immature' well into their late 30s and early 40s. But the average age at which women mature emerged as 32. Alarmingly, eight out of ten women believe that men 'never stop being childish' - with breaking wind, burping, eating fast food in the early hours and playing videogames their biggest bug-bears. Staying silent during arguments, not being able to cook simple meals and re-telling the same old jokes and stories when with the lads were also hailed as signs of immaturity. The research was commissioned by Nickelodeon UK to mark the launch of the new show Wendell & Vinnie showing weeknights at 7:00pm. Tim Patterson VP, Director of Programming, Nickelodeon UK, said: ''As a man, especially one who works for a children's channel, the question if men ever reach maturity is one I am well accustomed to. '' However as the characters Wendell and Vinnie show in our new programme, a difference in maturity between two people definitely makes for an amusing partnership. '' Both men and women agreed women reach proper maturity much earlier than guys, at the typical age of 32. Men were nearly twice as likely to describe themselves as immature than were women with one in four men believing they are actively immature."

The color is a genetic trait and is inherited but is extremely rare. White deer that lack all color pigments are called “true albinos.” These animals are typically identified by their pink nose and eyes–the result of blood vessels showing through the skin and clear lens of the eyes. Deer that have normal eyes and nose but a white coat color are referred to as “white deer.” Both terms (albino deer and white deer) are used very generally and are often mixed up. To further complicate the picture, there is a lot of color variation between the two types. Fallow deer are a species of European/Asian deer that can have almost-white coats and are sometimes confused with albino white-tails."

The most commonly used symbol is probably that of the Cross. For each of us, the Cross will have various levels of meaning according to our life's experience .. .this symbol can convey a wealth of ideas, concepts, scriptural quotes, experiences of suffering etc. We need symbols in our spiritual journey, they can be points of focus that lead us into deeper prayer. They all have an ecclesial dimension. They are part of our patrimony in the Church and perhaps it would be a good idea to explore again — or possibly for the first time — their inner meaning and message. In the early era of the Church during the times of Christian persecution, the use of symbols was very prevalent, and a means of being identified as to belonging to Christ, thus witnessing to other Christians. They were if you like, the password in times of persecution. Christian symbols can be seen carved upon the graves and walls of the early Christian catacombs in Rome, especially St Priscilla, Domitilla, and Calixtus. By taking time to reflect upon each individual symbol we are brought into timeless contact with our brothers and sisters of the Christian Faith down through the ages and here it is important to remember our Catholic teaching on the Communion of St.s, all those past and present: the Church Militant on earth, the Church Suffering in Purgatory, and the Church Victorious in Heaven — all alive to one another, praying, interceding for one another."

The uterus, though snug and warm, is not soundproof. In fact, your baby can hear — and respond to — a wide range of sounds, from those your body makes to sounds outside your womb. Time Frame Your baby’s ears and earlobes start to form when you are about eight weeks pregnant, but it takes another three months at leas) until your baby can start picking up sounds. By the time the third trimester begins, your baby’s ears are fully functional, and the range of sounds she can hear greatly increases. What Types of Sounds Can a Baby Hear in the Womb Your baby can hear your heart beat (the sound is, in fact, as loud as a vacuum cleaner to a fetus), the blood whooshing through your veins and your stomach growling. He can also hear noises from your environment, such as the television, music, and most importantly, your voice. Considerations Babies react to the sounds they hear in the womb. They jerk when they are startled by a loud noise, and research shows they recognize their mother’s voice even in utero, according to “ Psychology Today .”"

Everybody at one time or another has experienced “a sudden feeling that their ear is momentarily blocked and at the same time heard a high pitched ring in their ear”. Thankfully, those periods are brief and the sound heard in the ear, coined tinnitus, quickly dissipates and the blocked sensation returns to normal. Tinnitus is defined as sounds coming from the ear that are not coming from an external source. Approximately 50 million persons according to the American Tinnitus Association suffer from some form of tinnitus with complaints ranging from slight to severe with the duration lasting minutes to years. Tinnitus is literally described 100 different ways, such as ringing, humming, whining, buzzing, whooshing, pulsing, chirping, hissing, clicking, chiming, roaring, crickets, locust sounds occurring in one or both ears…. Tinnitus can originate in the outer, middle, inner, or other parts of the head. Of all the ear symptoms that patients describe, tinnitus is no doubt one of the most common and frustrating as so much about it is still unknown and there is no magic cure to make it go away. There are many ear pathologies that are associated with tinnitus. It is a known fact that loud noise damages hearing."

"text": "Environmental noise – white noise, pink noise- is a useful tool for quieting tinnitus, but how can you tell if you’re using the correct frequency? Scientists have categorized acoustical variables into a rainbow of colors, each one representing a specific range of spectral density. To find out which color best masks constant tinnitus noise, it’s sometimes necessary to dip into all the shades of sound, from white or pink noise, to brown or violet. Tinnitus symptoms affect people differently; some experience constant, high-pitched ringing in the ears, while others may suffer through a steady low-octave series of whooshing sounds. While there is no cure for tinnitus, many patients have found relief by incorporating tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT) or habituation therapy into their tinnitus treatment plan. By listening to background music throughout the day and evening for several months, it is possible to distract the brain from nagging tinnitus noise and effectively “forget” about it. In choosing the right environmental noise to treat tinnitus, it’s important to take into account spectral density, which refers to the way that power from sound signals is distributed through various frequencies. Just as your tinnitus sounds operate at different frequencies, so do a variety of white, pink, or purple noises that may provide the right combination of acoustics to help quiet tinnitus ringing sounds. White Noise Example: The flat sound of a rotating ceiling fan, or the static emanating from a car radio. For shushing tinnitus, most people find that white noise is the most effective sound mix."

There’s no clear answer to why this is, but the condition is a growing one with one in five individuals who reach the age of fifty-five suffering from tinnitus. What Is Tinnitus? To understand what causes tinnitus, you first need to understand what tinnitus is. Tinnitus is, very simply, unexplainable noises you hear in your head when there is no actual sound present. A person with tinnitus will often hear a whistling, humming, buzzing, whooshing, clicking or ringing in their ears, even when there is nothing in the area that is emitting that particular sound. It may be intermittent or last only a short time or never seem to stop. The sound you hear is actually being generated by the part of your ear known as the cochlea."

So, every time their heart goes “thump,” consequently do their ears!Note: This page was last updated on Saturday 7th of April 2018And, yes, pulsatile tinnitus can really cause a thumping sound. Instead of the traditional ringing or buzzing, this form of tinnitus causes a rhythmic thumping or whooshing sound. People who have suffered from both types of tinnitus say that the pulsatile variety is far more annoying. Unfortunately, though, “annoying” is not all this problem is. Pulsatile tinnitus can often be a sign of a serious underlying medical condition. What are the underlying medical conditions?

You may be wondering just when, during your pregnancy, your tiny baby can start feeling, smelling, tasting, hearing and see. You will be surprised to know that it is a lot earlier than you think!Your Baby’s Senses – When do they develop? Your baby’s senses begin to develop from the moment of conception with all the senses established by week 8 (gestational age) but maturing at varies rates. What this means is that although the senses begin to develop very early on, they only really start functioning properly later in your pregnancy. What is The First Sense a Baby Develops in The Womb? Before you even knew you were pregnant, at just 3 weeks after conception, your baby’s first sense to develop is the sense of touch. The skin, which contains millions of sensory receptors, is the sensory organ for touch. Research done by Montagu (1978) with a single light hair stroke on the embryo, showed that just before 8 weeks gestational age, “the first sensitivity to touch manifests in a set of protective movements to avoid a mere hair stroke on the cheek”. Skin sensitivity then extends to:• The genital areas by 10 weeks gestational age,• The palms by 11 weeks gestational age,• The soles of the feet by 12 weeks gestational age,• The abdomen and buttocks by 17 weeks gestational age and• The entire body with the exception of the top of the head by 32 weeks gestational age."

"text": "\"Health Diseases & Conditions Heart Diseases I hear a whooshing, heart-beat sound in one ear.

Tinnitus is a disorder in which a person hears sound when nothing’s causing it externally (when there is no such sound). This sound may be perceived as whistling, ringing or maybe even machinery sound. Pulsatile tinnitus is a disorder when you experience the noise sound with the heart beat and you may perceive it as a heartbeat. It has been found that this happens when the blood flow in the vessels near the ear alter. These vessels may be large arteries and veins in the neck and base of the skull and smaller ones in the ear itself. This may happen when blood flow in the body increases like it does during exercise or anemia. It may also happen when some of the blood vessels narrow, so the surrounding vessels need to carry more blood and this increased flow causes the noise or if arteries harden and blood does travel smoothly as it usually does and this turbulent flow may cause the noise. You should address a doctor about this and have some proper exams."

We are here to shed some light on those mysterious ear noises!Wax Worries Many people in America suffer the annoyance of too much earwax. If you have this problem, you know that a buildup of earwax can cause ear aches, itchiness, and decreased hearing. In some cases, too much earwax can even cause odd noises in your ear, like a ringing or buzzing noise. This is especially true if the wax if touching your eardrum, which creates pressure and changes how the eardrum vibrates. This is a form of tinnitus, and can be treated by a doctor who can remove the excess wax. Tube Troubles The Eustachian tube is a small passageway from your inner ear to the back of your nose, and plays an important part in the hearing process. Every time you swallow, yawn, or blow your nose, the Eustachian tube opens and allows air to pass from the middle of your ear to the back of your nose."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Tiddlywinks Years active 1888 to present Genre (s) Board game Players usually 2 or 4; 6 for a triples match Setup time 1 minute Playing time 30 minutes to an hour Random chance Medium Skill (s) required Strategy, physical skill Tiddlywinks is an indoor game played on a flat felt mat with sets of small discs called \"\"winks\"\", a pot, which is the target, and a collection of squidgers, which are also discs. Players use a \"\"squidger\"\" (nowadays made of plastic) to shoot a wink into flight by flicking the squidger across the top of a wink and then over its edge, thereby propelling it into the air. The offensive objective of the game is to score points by sending your own winks into the pot. The defensive objective of the game is to prevent your opponents from potting their winks by \"\"squopping\"\" them: shooting your own winks to land on top of your opponents' winks. As part of strategic gameplay, players often attempt to squop their opponents' winks and develop, maintain and break up large piles of winks. Tiddlywinks is sometimes considered a simpleminded, frivolous children's game, rather than a strategic, adult game. [ 1] [2] [3] However, the modern competitive adult game of tiddlywinks made a strong comeback at the University of Cambridge in 1955. The modern game uses far more complex rules and a consistent set of high-grade equipment.

That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” – Juliet in Williams Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet Shakespeare’s observation in the above quote is, words inherently contain no meaning. In their most literal sense, they are just information, ink on a page, or pixels on a screen these days. The meaning to words happens within our minds. Meaning is created from an individual’s unique experience overtime. This is why my experience and meaning of the word rose, is different than yours. In the Book Positioning, Al Reis and Jack Trout claim Shakespeare is wrong! They understand the meaning to words comes from within our minds. When Juliet uttered those famous words, would the rose smell as sweet if it was called a “foot”?"

"text": "Nearly everyone who takes the US citizenship test passes on the first try, 92 percent to be exact. ( Editor's Note: This story is part of a new series all week on PRI's The World about citizenship. There will also be an online discussion about citizenship and its place in the immigration reform debate on PRI.org on Thursday. ) But considering each immigrant pays more than $600 to take the test, it's worth asking what knowledge the exam actually tests. Is it more symbolic rather than carrying any lasting value? Paula Winke teaches second language studies at Michigan State University. She has heavily researched the citizenship test and is a critic of it. First, she notes the high passage rate. After paying the test fee, many immigrants enroll in study courses to make sure they don't fail. That in part explains the near-perfect pass rate — the economic stakes are too high to go into this test unprepared."

So perhaps we could say these gestures are part of our body language. What we have to be careful about is the aspect of its culture-specific uses and meanings. Depending on where you use them, some particular gestures can convey totally different messages. For example a thumbs up hand gesture in western countries means Okay, but if you flash it to someone in the Middle Eastern countries or Russia you'll be in trouble!

A fascinating portrait of John Lennon 's home life, it was written by Maureen Cleave, a close friend to The Beatles. The piece was headlined \"\"How does a Beatle live? John Lennon lives like this\"\". It grew notorious in later months when Lennon's comments about Christianity - \"\"We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first - rock 'n' roll or Christianity\"\" - were republished around the world. It was this time three years ago that The Beatles first grew famous. Ever since then, observers have anxiously tried to gauge whether their fame was on the wax or on the wane; they foretold the fall of the old Beatles, they searched diligently for the new Beatles (which was as pointless as looking for the new Big Ben). At last they have given up; The Beatles' fame is beyond question. It has nothing to do with whether they are rude or polite, married or unmarried, 25 or 45; whether they appear on Top Of The Pops or do not appear on Top of the Pops. They are well above any position even a Rolling Stone might jostle for."

Martindale, 54, enters his seventh year with the Ravens. He served as linebackers coach the past two seasons after coaching only the inside linebackers from 2012-15. C. J. Mosley has become one of the league’s top defenders, earning three Pro Bowls in his four seasons, under Martindale’s tutelage. Martindale replaces Dean Pees, who retired. “Wink has earned the promotion to defensive coordinator,” Harbaugh said, via quotes distributed by the team. “ His aggressive mentality will serve to take our defense to new levels. He is obviously respected by players, many of whom have already benefited from his direct coaching at the linebacker position. He knows the ins and outs of what we have been about on defense and has been an important contributor to our success on that side of the ball. This is an exciting day for Wink and his family, and also one for the Ravens."

The weight of a fluid ounce of water, the primary ingredient in soda, is 1.0432 ounces. Multiplying 144 by 1.0432 gives slightly above 150 ounces.

I’m not sure how long it took people to start using them or who came up with the winky face ;-) we all know and love (or hate) today, or any of the dozens of other emoticons, or ‘smileys’ practically everyone from our generation uses in texts, in instant messaging, on Facebook, everywhere. Maybe our generation should be called Generation :-) instead of Generation Y or whatever they’re calling us. Now, conveniently, you don’t have to put your complicated thoughts and sentiments into words. You can just use a smiley. Different smileys can encompass myriad emotions. They are, after all, called emote -icons for a reason. A simple :-) could mean… thank you; I’m in a good mood; I like you; I don’t know what to say but I want the conversation to keep going; I’m trying to ease the harshness of what I just said without actually apologizing or weakening my opinion; I’m unnecessarily reinforcing the positive attitude of what I just said; I’m unsuccessfully attempting to be mysterious by not saying anything and just smiling like the Mona Lisa… a smiley can mean pretty much anything you want. Unless you’re sad. Then you should use :- ( That can mean…I’m sorry; I’m upset; I don’t like you; you insulted me; pity me, please; my dog just died and you’re being really insensitive about it; I don’t possess the basic faculties necessary to communicate my feelings so I’ll just use these punctuation marks instead."

January 30, 2018Since Amazon introduced the Echo smart speaker in 2014, Amazon has steadily become the hottest name in smart home products on the market. Suddenly, every tech company wants to integrate its products with Amazon's customizable virtual assistant, Alexa. The integrations keep coming, at such a pace that it can be hard to know exactly which products work with Alexa. Amazon's website tries to keep on top of things, but its interface can be tough to navigate. It also (understandably) underplays the fact that you don't need an Echo to take advantage of Alexa and all the devices she can control. Not only has Amazon built Alexa into other products, like the all new Echo Plus, Echo Spot, and the Fire HD 10 tablet, but the company has also allowed third-party hardware makers to build Alexa into their own devices, even letting Ford build the assistant into its new cars. To help you understand Alexa's reach, we've created this comprehensive guide. We'll be continuously updating it as new integrations are announced, in order to help you build the smart home that's right for you. Below you'll find a list of all the product categories Alexa covers."

Winking is a fairly common, yet somehow controversial, act that conveys many \"\"hidden\"\" intentions, both in a harmless and/or an offensive manner. Depending upon the situation, this eye movement can connote many things. Buzzle explains what it means when someone winks at you and more ... Winking and Controversies!Winking has got many renowned celebrities into some serious trouble. Right from Sarah Palin winking on television during the vice presidential debate platform, to Australia's Tony Abbott, who's on to becoming the world's most hated prime minister for this act. However, the most controversial wink title has to go to Cristiano Ronaldo's in the 2006 World Cup, after Wayne Rooney was given a red card due to an argument between the two. They would think twice before winking, wouldn't they? Maybe once upon a time, winking wasn't a gesture one would see commonly, but now, with social networking having the winking emoticons, the wink feature used in online dating, and people being more open to the \"\"wink-worthy conversations,\"\" it has become a fairly common act among the masses. But, as we can clearly see from the controversies listed above, it is not 'always' taken as smoothly as we presume. Winking is one gesture that denotes many things, therefore, it wouldn't be wrong to call it one of the most mind-boggling acts in the human world."

"text": "Wolf Spider Bite: Identification and Treatment Guide A wolf spider bite is considered by many as a highly dangerous and painful experience. Due to its looks and habits, the wolf spider has earned a reputation of being a vicious predator and is even often mistaken for a tarantula. Though they should be taken seriously, wolf spider bites are not always as fearful as their reputation. It is therefore important to know some basic facts about the wolf spider, as well as knowing how to identify a wolf spider bite and what treatment it requires. What Does a Wolf Spider Look Like? To identify a wolf spider bite, it goes without saying that it is helpful to know what a wolf spider looks like. The wolf spider is often mistaken for a tarantula because it is similar in appearance. Wolf spiders are also mistaken for nursery web spiders, but wolf spiders do not spin webs and their bodies are more robust than nursery web spiders, which are generally thin with pointed rear ends. A wolf spider’s best identifying characteristic is its number and arrangement of eyes. A wolf spider has 8 eyes arranged in 3 rows."

"text": "Spider Ecology Spider ecology is a very diverse topic which includes reproductive and feeding ecology, both of which have their own pages. Other aspects of spider ecology include growth, dispersal, survival and their effects on the environment they live in. I will write a little on each of these here, but please realise that I am only offering you a very small glimpse into the fascinating world that is spider ecology. Conservation Spiders are undoubtedly fascinating, despite their bad press in many people's minds and they are also an extremely valuable part of the balance of the world we live in. They are not greatest of pest control agents, unless you consider all insects to be pests which is a very erroneous point of view, although they are cheap, and very useful. Spiders are, for the most part, such generalist feeders that they kill many useful insects as well as many pest species, however because pest species are by their nature more numerous than beneficial species they are still effective. They are of great value to the environment. While they tend to sample insect populations randomly, any population that becomes explosive in its growth will find more of its kind taken by spiders than otherwise. Thus, rather than specifically controlling certain insects, spiders have a general blanket or buffer effect, promoting evolution, helping keeping insect numbers under control in a broad sense and supplying food for many other animals and therefore keeping the flow of life moving. In particular the ability of spiders to exist in huge numbers on relatively little food gives them a useful role in damping out population fluctuations in a diverse environment."

"text": "Answer Most spiders possess eight eyes, though the majority cannot see very well with them. Web-spinning spiders are nearly blind, navigating their world mostly by touch and smell. Some spiders, such as those in the family Sicariidae, have only six eyes. Cave-dwelling species, and those which live their entire lives in the soil, may have no eyes at all. There are also some spiders that fall between these extremes, but always with an even number of eyes. Those spiders which hunt their prey “on foot” can have very keen eyesight. Among those sharp-eyed hunters are the jumping spiders (family Salticidae) and the wolf spiders (family Lycosidae), both of which have at least one pair of very large, forward-facing eyes.

Although its large size (up to 2 inches long) causes fear in many people, its bite is not truly deadly. On the other hand, the wolf spider is considered to be one of the most dangerous spiders in the world!What the Wolf Spider Looks Like The wolf spider can range from 1/2 inch to two inches long. Like wolves, they chase and leap on their prey. Here are some characteristics that make it a little different from other spiders: It is hairy and orangish-brown to gray and black with splotches or stripes that give it a camouflage look. The eight eyes of the wolf spider are set in three rows of three different sizes, with two medium-sized eyes on top of its \"\"head,\"\" two large eyes center front, and four small eyes below those. Like all spiders, it has eight legs. But the wolf spider also has an additional two tiny leg- or arm-like appendages (pedipalps) extending out front. The young of this species look much the same as the adults, although their coloring may vary or change as they grow. Mother spiders may sometimes be seen with the young riding on their backs until these spiders are independent enough to go off on their own."

They are well-adapted to various conditions, but thrive in warmer climates (in Antarctica, stowaway spiders are dependent on humans habitations for shelter). Essentially, spiders are found everywhere except for on the Antarctic mainland. Surprisingly, spiders the size of dinner plates have been found on the seabed far below the surface of Antarctic waters. Many spiders spin webs in tree branches, but some live in holes that they disguise with their webs.

That concern is a valid one, and has evolved as we evolved together with the spiders, but then, is there really a cause of concern? Are Wolf Spiders Poisonous – What Is Poison? A poison is a substance that when ingested or absorbed can harm a living thing. As for humans, we can get poisoned by a variety of substances, including organic and non-organic materials. Common elemental poisons to us are lead, arsenic, and mercury. Common compound poisons are carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.

Most lycosids live on the ground, where they use keen eyesight and quick speed to capture prey. Lycosa means 'wolf' in Greek and wolf spiders are one of the largest spider families. It's very likely that you will come across wolf spiders a few times in your life. They live in a variety of habitats throughout the world and are prevalent in North America. A wolf spider bite can be quite painful, but it is not necessarily dangerous, though you should see a doctor anyway. What Do Wolf Spiders Look Like? Wolf spiders vary greatly in size. The smallest may measure only 3 millimeters in body length, while most lycosids are larger, reaching up to 30 millimeters. Many species live in burrows in the ground, and most are nocturnal."

"text": "What Does A Wolf Spider Bite Look Like ? Wolf spiders are venomous and poisonous. When a wolf spider bites, it causes pain, itching and swelling. For some people the symptoms exist only for a couple of hours but some take weeks to recover from the bite. Until the 1990s, any bite caused by the wolf spider was treated with anti-venom and later it was discontinued because doctors thought it was unnecessary. However, the bite should be treated promptly as it can carry infections. A survey conducted on wolf spider bites showed that the average time where a person suffers from acute pain of the wolf spider bite is about 10 minutes. If you have been bitten by a wolf spider, then it must be a large specimen as smaller ones cannot penetrate the skin. The first reaction is you will experience an inflammation around the bite. There could be puncture wounds if the fangs of the spider have managed to pierce the skin."

"text": "How many eggs do spiders lay? Answer Female spiders are fairly prolific at generating offspring, some creating several egg sacs with dozens of eggs in each. Most web-building spiders favor this strategy, knowing that only a few of their offspring will survive to adulthood. Some egg sacs, such as those of Argiope, can have up to 1,500 eggs each. Tiny spiders, such as some Erigone, may build egg sacs with as few as 10 eggs. Hunting spiders tend to have fewer offspring, but protect them better. Female wolf spiders carry their egg sacs with them, attached to the spinnerets. Once the spiderlings hatch, mother wolf spider lets them ride on top of her abdomen until they have their first molt, at which point they disperse to fend for themselves.

"text": "Answer The answer to this question depends greatly on climate and the species of spider in question. Spiders reproduce year round in tropical regions. North American spiders can breed in the spring, summer, or fall, or all three seasons. Typically, spiders in the U. S. and Canada appear more abundant in autumn because most of the large orb weavers reach adulthood at that time, and as the foliage falls from trees their webs become ever more obvious. Further, fall is mating time for many of the hunting spiders like tarantulas, trapdoor spiders, wolf spiders, and others; and the males will frequently enter homes and other buildings looking for mates, even those species normally confined to webs. Female orb weavers north of Mexico generally produce egg sacs in the fall and some species overwinter in that condition. Look for wolf spider females to be toting egg sacs from their spinnerets, often in spring or summer. Additional Questions General Spider Questions What is a spider? How do I identify a spider?

Wolf spiders are also characterized by good vision, females carrying their egg sacs with them (most do), and eight eyes. Each drawing is a link to a section on this site. Wolf spiders are diurnal and have fairly large and robust front legs. They use their strong cheliceraes to crush prey, and they can inflict sharp stinging bites on humans. They are very fast and can reach a speed of two feet per second over short distances 1. Appearance Wolf spiders have a brown or dark coloration with bristles on their legs and body, which makes some species look a bit like tarantulas, but they are in fact very different.

"text": "Wolf spider and offspring I guess I hadn’t realized that wolf spiders schlep their young around on their backs. But the ever-reliable Wikipedia (Greg will dissent, and is preparing a post on the iniquities of Wikipedia) says this: Wolf spiders are unique in the way that they carry their eggs. The egg sac, a round silken globe, is attached to the spinnerets at the end of the abdomen, allowing the spider to carry her unborn young with her. The abdomen must be held in a raised position to keep the egg case from dragging on the ground, however despite this handicap they are still capable of hunting. Another aspect unique to wolf spiders is their method of infant care. Immediately after the spiderlings emerge from their protective silken case, they clamber up their mother’s legs and crowd onto her abdomen. Reader Laurel Yohe, a graduate student in ecology and evolution at the State University of New York, sent this photo and a note. Do enlarge it (preferably twice) to see the gazillion baby spiders. Any help with the identification appreciated: I saw this mother wolf spider running around my yard in Stony Brook, NY. At first I thought it was eggs she was carrying on her back–but after I took the photo I saw all of her little babies."

Thanks to their fancy patterns and body-color with the help of which wolf spiders can blend themselves with the background. They have great eyesight and are generally solitary hunters. Some species are opportunistic hunters as they often chase their prey in short bursts. However, other spiders are sit-and-wait hunters as they wait for passing prey near the mouth of a burrow. Wolf spider seems like a nursery web spider. They are recognized by their large noticeable eyes which also separates them from nursery web spiders.

Some spiders, such as those in the family Sicariidae, have only six eyes. Cave-dwelling species, and those which live their entire lives in the soil, may have no eyes at all. There are also some spiders that fall between these extremes, but always with an even number of eyes. Those spiders which hunt their prey “on foot” can have very keen eyesight. Among those sharp-eyed hunters are the jumping spiders (family Salticidae) and the wolf spiders (family Lycosidae), both of which have at least one pair of very large, forward-facing eyes.

Credit: Cathy Keifer | Shutterstock The name “wolf spider” encompasses a large family of spiders, most of which are large, dark-colored and athletic. Unlike most spiders that catch their prey in webs, wolf spiders violently hunt it down using their strong bodies and sharp eyesight. These spiders also exhibit unique parenting habits that are of great interest to scientists. Wolf spiders live almost everywhere in the world, according to the Bio Kids. They are especially common in grasslands and meadows, but also live in mountains, deserts, rainforests and wetlands — anywhere they can find insects to eat. A female wolf spider carries her egg sac through the underbrush. Credit: Mc Carthy's Photo Works Shutterstock Appearance Wolf spiders are usually brown, grey, black or tan, with dark markings — most commonly stripes, according to the Missouri Department of Conservation. Their coloring is effective camouflage, helping them catch their prey and keep safe from predators. They range from a quarter of an inch to over an inch (6.4 millimeters to 3 centimeters) long, with males typically smaller than females."

The wolf spider is a very hairy spider and is large, reaching a length of up to 3 to 4 inches long. The spider has several white stripes down its back, set against a grayish brown color which is mottled. This is probably where it got its name from; and the colors also help the spider to hide in leaves, sand and other ground debris. Wolf spiders do not spin webs, except for one of its species. Wolf spiders burrow into the ground and hide there. These spiders are very aggressive and will attack their prey and any adversary. They are also fast runners making them a formidable predator. Their large size and ferocious nature is one of the reasons why people tend to go into a panic when they see wolf spiders. Although the bite can sometimes be painful, wolf spider bites do not produce severe symptoms, but the bite has been known to become necrotizing."

Some predators, however, have thick enough skin to withstand a few stings, quick enough speed to avoid stings altogether or deadly enough poison to stand up against the threat presented by wasps and bees. Birds At least 24 species of birds reportedly eat wasps and bees. The most obvious come from the \"\"bee-eater\"\" bird family, which mostly lives in tropical and subtropical regions of Eurasia, Africa and Australasia. North America's northern mockingbird eats a variety of insects in the summer, including bees and wasps, as does the summer tanager, located in southern North America, Central America and South America. The ruby-throated hummingbird will also grab smaller bees flying around nectar. Other bee and wasp eating birds include the blackbird, magpie and starling. Mammals A variety of omnivorous mammals, from small species to larger animals, also prey on wasps and bees. In Great Britain, badgers act as the primary predator of wasps and often destroy colonies for the comb containing young wasps and eggs. In North America, the black bear eats bees and wasps."

If she makes an egg sac, it will be a small web ball about as big as her abdomen, and secured in the web. It takes about 10 days to two weeks before the eggs hatch and spiderlings emerge. The sad part, is very few, if any, of the baby spiders will survive indoors. They may try to go outside where they have a better chance. Wolf spiders are the only family that carry their young on the back, and these spiders don't make webs except in their burrow. You might just let your little spider stay where she is, give her a name and observe her. A good way to get familiar with spiders.

They’ve been the subject of outrageous Internet rumors, and while they’re sometimes a bane to soldiers in Iraq, their menace has been greatly exaggerated. Still, they aren’t pets for the faint of heart, and you should only consider keeping a camel spider if you have extensive experience with scorpions and tarantulas. Overview Although they’re closely related to scorpions and spiders, camel spiders aren’t venomous. Instead they have enormous, powerful jaws that make up as much as a third of their body length. Their jaws allow them to crush and chew their prey and also can break human skin, leaving a painful bite. Camel spiders are notoriously aggressive and quick to attack if they’re handled or threatened. They can grow to 4 to 6 inches and run at speeds up to 10 miles per hour. Natural Environment and Behavior Camel spiders live in desert areas in and around the Arabian Peninsula, as far south as Egypt and north into Iraq."

"text": "\"Spider Conservation in the United States By: Kevin L. Skerl Spiders, like many other invertebrates, have traditionally suffered a lack of attention from conservation professionals and the general public. As more information becomes available, however, scientists are gaining a better understanding of spiders' integral role in natural systems and of the need to improve protection efforts. Approximately 3,500 spider species, with an additional 350 yet undescribed, exist in the United States and Canada (Roth 1993). They are abundant predators in many terrestrial ecosystems, with estimates of populations in field habitats approaching one million individuals per hectare (Bristowe 1971). Almost all spiders are generalist predators, mainly eating insects and secondarily other spiders (Wise 1993); a few have become specialists (Nentwig 1986). Some larger species may even occasionally feed on small mice, birds, and lizards. Individual spider species do not possess the characteristics of successful natural control species, since most are generalists and have long generation times in comparison to prey species (Riechert and Lockley 1984). However, when viewed as an assemblage, spiders may play an important role in stabilizing or regulating insect populations because they are one of the most numerous insectivores and exhibit a wide variety of lifestyles and foraging strategies (Nyffeler et al. 1994; for reviews see Riechert and Lockley 1984; Nyffeler and Benz 1987; Wise 1993). Spiders possess the characteristics of predators that can contribute to density-independent limitation of prey, including self-damping, high levels of polyphagy, and life cycles that are asynchronous to those of prey species (Riechert and Bishop 1990)."

Spiders belong to a class of animals called arachnids. They have four pairs of segmented legs, and can grow a new leg if they lose one. Most spiders have eight eyes, and they do not have antennae or wings. A spider's body is divided into two sections, the abdomen and the cephalothorax. The legs, eyes, and mouthparts are all in the cephalothorax. Most spiders have poison glands and fangs in their jaws, which they use to inject poison into insects."

Although its large size (up to 2 inches long) causes fear in many people, its bite is not truly deadly. On the other hand, the wolf spider is considered to be one of the most dangerous spiders in the world!What the Wolf Spider Looks Like The wolf spider can range from 1/2 inch to two inches long. Like wolves, they chase and leap on their prey. Here are some characteristics that make it a little different from other spiders: It is hairy and orangish-brown to gray and black with splotches or stripes that give it a camouflage look. The eight eyes of the wolf spider are set in three rows of three different sizes, with two medium-sized eyes on top of its \"\"head,\"\" two large eyes center front, and four small eyes below those. Like all spiders, it has eight legs. But the wolf spider also has an additional two tiny leg- or arm-like appendages (pedipalps) extending out front. The young of this species look much the same as the adults, although their coloring may vary or change as they grow. Mother spiders may sometimes be seen with the young riding on their backs until these spiders are independent enough to go off on their own."

According to the CDC, many at risk werewolf youth develop magic potion drinking problems while still just teen wolves in high school, often due to peer pressure from their packs. In mythology, a werewolf is a human who becomes a wolf -like creature that can transition at will between man and wolf forms provided they are experienced. They are less popular than vampires because of their alleged higher intellect. The word \"\"were\"\" is from the Greek word \"\"like\"\" so adding 'wolf' makes the phrase \"\"like a wolf\"\" and that is the origin of the word \"\"werewolf\"\". Contents [ show]edit The legend In the 1st century, mankind had a horror released upon it. A man and his brother were walking through the woods and a large wolf attacked them biting the younger of the two. After the older of the brothers chased off the wolf, they sought shelter in a nearby cave as it grew dark. The younger brother became the origin of what is known today as a \"\"werewolf\"\" through a series of miraculous biochemical events the mechanics of which are so mindbogglingly complex and unlikely that there is no point discussing it further."

They are even able to replace lost limbs during this process. Over the years, they have become very popular pets, and while their bite does hurt, their venom is less dangerous than the venom of a honeybee. Most are burrowers and feed primarily on insects that wander by their burrows, although some of the larger types of tarantulas feed on small lizards."

Source (s):jewish yamaka signify: https://tr.im/poi Zh Anonymous · 3 years ago0 0 Comment A yarmulke or kippah (Hebrew) is simply one kind of head covering that Jewish man (and sometimes women) can wear. It signifies one's devotion to God, and an awareness of God at all times. Very traditional Jewish women cover their hair, but that is a question of modesty, rather than directly out of respect for God. Many people who are not Jewish but who visit a synagogue wear yarmulkes, just as one would not wear shoes in a mosque, or as a woman might once have covered her head in a Catholic church."

Crows are sometimes considered to symbolize an omen. They can be good or bad depending on the context they are being used in and what culture is talking about them. Since they are in the same family as the raven they are often associated with death and darkness. Another Perspective Crow is seen by some Native Americans as the left-handed guardian and keeper of the sacred law. While others interpret it as ancient wisdom, and magic. In a tea cup crow is read as ill health. As a child I learned an old English rhyme about crows from my grandmother, it went something like this: One is for bad news, two is for mirth."

One of the most noticeable changes in Japanese culture is the clothing: traditional and modern day clothing. Kimonos and kosodes are two of the most popular traditional Japanese items of clothing. While the traditional ethnic garments of Japan are still in use, they are mainly worn for ceremonies and special events, funerals, coming-of-age ceremonies, and festivals.

"text": "SYMPTOMS OF YEAST INFECTIONSHow can you tell that your crotch rot is really a yeast infection and not something else? Most medical types say that you should go to a doctor to get it diagnosed the first time, and then once you know what you're looking for, you can figure it out yourself the next time and respond appropriately. I used to blow this off as a bunch of MDs protecting their turf and their profits, but more and more evidence is accumulating that wimmin often misdiagnose themselves as having a yeast infections when they really have something else. This is bad because you might have a more serious problem that isn't getting treated while you futz around with yeast treatments. Just as bad, if you use an over-the-counter treatment for yeast and you don't really have yeast infection, you might be creating your own personal race of drug-resistant super-yeast, and next time you have a real yeast infection it could be damned hard to get rid of. A doctor can tell for sure if you have a yeast infection by taking a swab and looking in a microscope. Most of us can't do this at home, but sometimes you can tell by the feel, look, and smell that you have a yeast infection. If your symptoms don't match this list, or you are confused or uncertain, go see a doctor if at all possible.feels like an intense itching, burning sensation, localized in your vagina and vulva. This itching is not always present, but can get really bad, so bad you can hardly walk, let alone ride your bike to the pharmacy or doctor to get it treated.looks like clumpy nasty white stuff. Most medical descriptions compare the discharge to ricotta cheese, but it can range from thick and not clumpy to faintly yellow to thin and clear.smells like bread or beer."

Hi there, Thanks for your question. If I don't respond immediately, it is because I am either in the OR or traveling. I will get back to you ASAP. This yeast like smell can be from a yeast infection of the urine. A vaginal yeast infection typically presents as cottage cheese appearing discharge from the vagina. You typically don't have discharge if this is a urine infection. If you have a yeast infection of the urine, it can spread to the blood stream and make you very sick if it is not treated. You need to see your doctor for a urine culture to see if you need to be started on Diflucan to treat this. Hope this helps."

However, when it affects the sensitive female genital area, particularly vagina and vulva, it can be extremely problematic. Causes of Vaginal Itching, Burning and Irritation No woman can escape vaginal itching and burning at some point of her life. In many cases it is related to natural body activity and does not represent any problem. However, it is important to have your health controlled, understand the symptoms and possible health issues behind them. Apart from natural reasons such as menopause or hormonal changes, vaginal itching, burning and irritation can be caused by sexually transmitted diseases, bacterial vaginosis, skin inflammations and even chemical irritants. Sometimes these symptoms can accompany pregnancy. Vaginal discomfort caused by STDs and bacterial infection requires professional treatment with medications as it can lead to various complications, including infertility. In other cases the use of steroid creams and proper hygiene can be sufficient. Anyway, do not hesitate to visit your doctor if any of these symptoms show up."

Two of the most common infections are bacterial vaginosis and yeast infection. However both infections can sometimes be hard to differentiate from one another as they can share similar symptoms. To better understand the differences between the two infections, let’s start by understanding bacterial vaginosis and then followed by yeast infection. What Is Bacterial Vaginosis? Bacterial vaginosis (pronounced: back-tear-ee-ahl vag- eh-noe-sis) is a condition that is often associated with a fishy smelling vaginal odor. Some doctors referred to this type of vaginal infection as Gardnerella vaginitis, as it was named after the bacteria that is suspect to cause the condition. Medical research has discovered that there are many species of bacteria that live in the vaginal canal. When there are an overgrowth of the bacteria such as Gardnerella vaginalis, an infection occurs. Contrary to what one may have heard, bacterial vaginosis is not a sexually transmitted disease."

Answer by D4est Confidence votes 48.0KYeast infections can smell somewhat like bread in the early stages, since there is yeast in breads, too, and it is a recognizable scent to many health professionals who can often suspect a yeast infection simply from the musty bread odor. Some describe the smell as \"\"like beer\"\" for the same reason. Oral yeast infections usually don't have much odor, e.g., thrush/candidiasis, unless they go untreated for a long duration or the person is immuno-suppressed with widespread oral infection. As other skin and vaginal yeast infections get worse if untreated, and depending on where they are and the type of the yeast, they can start smelling much more odorous. Some describe vaginal yeast infections as smelling like strong cheese. Others say it is like fish (although that usually is a bacterial infection) and these progressively worsen to a sour smell with foul smelling discharges.13 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

"text": "HEALTH & CAREDog Skin Yeast Infection: List of Best Treatments13 Comments 69 375 Views 13 min read Written by Wyatt Robinson A dog skin yeast infection can easily be detected by simply looking at your pet’s behavior. Had he or she been scratching like mad for the past few days or had you noticed any black spots or markings in their belly or other parts of the skin which were not there previously? Had they been smelling a bit pungent and musty over the past few days? If so, then chances are your pet is suffering from the yeast infection which can also be an indication that they are suffering from an underlying medical condition. It is important to address it early on so as to avoid any further complications. Yeast infections are one of the most prevalent yet often neglected skin conditions that a dog can have especially during the early stages. They are often treated as mild skin infections that will just clear up after a matter of days. The problem though lies in the fact that yeast infections can spread very easily if not treated early on and when this happens, it can damage your dog’s skin and health in a way which cannot be reversed by future treatments. Curing this condition at the outset will help not only to stop the spread of the fungus but will also greatly improve your pet’s health as well.

"text": "\"Does My Vagina Smell Healthy? 5 Common Vaginal Odors, Explained By Gabrielle Moss Feb 17 2015Before we begin, let's get this out of the way: Your vagina is supposed to have a smell, despite what rude sexual partners or all those companies that make weird crotch perfumes may have told you in the past. In fact, healthy vaginas emit a Sephora's worth of different scents throughout the month, with stronger and more subtle variations of your unique smell appearing during different parts of your menstrual cycle. Some women naturally emit stronger vaginal odors, while others don't. And sweating heavily or having unprotected heterosexual sex (scientific terminology: \"\"Gettin' sperm all up in there\"\") can also temporarily change the smell of your fun parts. But make no mistake: Your lady flower always has a scent. While a scent is a sign that your junk is healthy and has its p H properly balanced, a change in smell can sometimes be a sign that something is amiss in Vagina City. Sometimes, an unusual odor coming from your nethers can signal a health problem, like a lost tampon or bacterial vaginosis infection. Other times, it may simply mean that you've just finished up your period.

"text": "Why i Phone Battery is Yellow, What the Yellow Icon Means, & How to Fix it Mar 24, 2016 - 6 Comments Have you ever wondered why the battery icon on i Phone is yellow sometimes? Wonder no more, because the yellow battery icon means the i Phone is in Low Power Mode. We’ll explain a little bit about this and how it works, and how to fix it if you want your green battery back. What the Yellow Battery Icon Means on i Phone First, understand that Low Power Mode on i Phone is an excellent battery life extending feature that works by adjusting some of the functions of the device. This includes dimming the display slightly, stopping Mail push and fetch, turning off background app refresh, turning off Hey Siri, and a few other i OS features. By turning these features off, the battery life of the i Phone is extended dramatically, and when Low Power Mode is enabled the i Phone battery icon is yellow to demonstrate this. Low Power Mode can be turned on directly and intentionally as described here for those looking to boost battery performance, but it will also turn itself on automatically when the i Phone battery reduces to 20% or lower life remaining. That latter scenario is when users typically discover the i Phone battery has turned yellow and wonder what’s going on. When Low Power Mode has been enabled due to a low battery, the battery icon will stay yellow and the feature will stay on even when charging until the capacity reaches at least 80%, when it will turn itself off. On the other hand, if Low Power Mode has been turned on manually, the feature will stay on until the battery is 100% charged."

Samuel Gibbs Fri 23 Sep 2016 03.00 EDT04.56 EST2,958The i Phone 7. Photograph: Samuel Gibbs for the Guardian T he most eagerly awaited i Phone since the last one, the Apple’s i Phone 7 has arrived. Much has been said about its design, the absent headphone socket, and the fact that it’s now waterproof, but is it actually any good? Following on from the i Phone 6 was a tall order, which the i Phone 6S struggled to live up to, with fewer sales and less consumer enthusiasm. Two years on, the question is whether those i Phone 6 buyers will bite and upgrade to the most expensive i Phone yet, its price in the UK inflated thanks to the Brexit referendum result. The same but now waterproof The back of the matt black i Phone 7. Photograph: Samuel Gibbs for the Guardian On the outside the i Phone 7 ( find here) is so similar to the i Phone 6 and 6S you might think nothing has changed other than a new paint job: it’s now available in black and a shiny jet black, as well as rose gold, gold and silver from last year, but no space grey . The antenna lines – the plastic inlays into the metal body – are slightly less visible on the back having been shunted to the top, the glass front is the same, with the most obvious change being the lack of a 3.5mm headphone socket in the bottom. It’s a tried and trusted, but ageing design."

One of Apple’s best-loved phones ever has received a spiritual successor. The i Phone SE looks and handles just like the i Phone 5S and it’s available to buy right now. But, should you be upgrading your i Phone 5S for this new model?

Apple customers have long complained that the company seems intent on keeping its battery life down – despite adding more capacity in recent phones, it tended to also add more components that used up that battery, which meant that the battery lives tended to stay the same. But the company appears to have listened at last. The new phone will last two hours longer than the exsiting i Phone 6s, the company said in its announcement on stage in California. In pictures: Apple i Phone 7 launch event+show all In pictures: Apple i Phone 7 launch event It didn't say how it had made up that extra battery life, whether it was through increasing the capacity or adding more efficient components. But it could partly be the result of optimisations in i OS 10, which is set to be released alongside the new phone and includes battery saving features. Read more Apple unveils waterproof phone with new camera and no headphone jack All of that extra battery life is despite a much increased processor at the centre of the phone – which, along with the likewise improved screen, tends to suck up most of the battery. The new phone's processor is called the A10 Fusion – and as well as being much speedier, it also has extra features that make it more efficient. The new chip has four cores built into it. Two of those are \"\"high-performance cores\"\", which mean that the phone can run up to twice as fast as the i Phone 6, but the other two are high-efficiency cores that can run using just one-fifth the energy that the others require."

We mostly click on \"\"Don`t Allow\"\" button but unknowingly/knowingly we might have clicked on \"\"OK\"\". That particular application is using the GPS function for your location information at background. This issue happens for i OS4 users only.

Joe Minihane - 21 March 2016 Last updated: 22 March 2016Comment Share Tweet Apple’s new i Phone, the just-unveiled i Phone SE, is now here. A smaller version of its flagship device, this smartphone is all about refreshing its lineup and making it more alluring to customers who want something a touch smaller but just as powerful as the i Phone 6S. So, what’s the difference between the i Phone SE and Apple’s top–end i Phone 6s. And should you be opting for one instead of splashing out on the Cupertino company’s flagship phone? Read on and we’ll tell you how the new look i Phone measures up to its bigger brother.i Phone SE vs i Phone 6s: camera Apple has made a big play of the i Phone SE having similar features to its flagship i Phone 6S. The camera is the best example, with Apple loading up its new four inch model with the same snapper as its top–end device. That means a 12 megapixel camera, the same true tone flash which gives improved low light performance and better selfies, plus support for Live Photos. The latter means you can capture what happens just before and after you hit the shutter. There is also 4K video shooting and editing support in i Movie, although the 16GB model is likely to run out of space quickly if you reel off ultra hi–def clips.i Phone SE vs i Phone 6s: screen The screen is the key difference between the two devices. The i Phone SE comes with a smaller four inch display, the same size as the old–school i Phone 5s and i Phone 5c. That compares with the larger 4.7–inch screen on the i Phone 6s and means you can use this new model in one hand easily."

With the benefit of hindsight the Misfit Shine nailed the fitness tracker market all the way back in 2012. While other companies have launched updates and sequels, the original Shine has been an ever-present, to the point where we didn't believe the company would bother to replace it.

Chris Smith @chris_writes January 18th, 2016 at 5:10 PMShare Tweet Are you worried your smartphone addiction also comes with hidden additional costs, like a higher energy bill? You actually shouldn’t as the yearly cost for charging your fancy toys, including your i Phone, i Pad and Android devices, is more than affordable. DON’T MISS: AT&T brings back unlimited data plans, but there’s a big catch According to Forbes, charging an i Pad every day for a year will require 12k Wh of electricity per year, which will cost you a whopping $1.50. A smartphone with a 1,440 m Ah battery will require 2,000-watt hours of energy per year or 2k Wh. That would amount to $0.25 per year – and that’s assuming you charge your phone every day. Obviously, newer i Phone and Android devices have bigger batteries, but that simply means the costs will go slightly up, so add a few cents per year to your electricity budget. Your laptop computer is a bit more expensive to keep charged during the year. It’ll cost you $8/year to provide some 72k Wh of power to your notebook.

Because the yellow belly slider turtles are opportunistic omnivores, they eat whatever they find within their environment, including insects, snails, small vertebrates, algae, weeds and even aquatic snakes. Yellow belly slider turtles prefer freshwater habitats like lakes, rivers, streams, ditches, ponds and swamps. The turtles can be found in North America, Africa, Europe and Asia."

"text": "\"The scientific name for the Red-eared Slider is Chrysemys scripta elegans (formerly Trachemys scripta elegans ), and it belongs to the Emydidae family. It is an aquatic turtle, a strong swimmer, and in the wild, will commonly be seen basking on rocks, logs, or other surfaces above the water. Turtles are reptiles, and cold-blooded, so they must rely on external heat sources for warmth. They will bask in sunlight, and in the wild, burrow down into the earth to hibernate in winter. The three main concerns in keeping a Red-eared Slider healthy are warmth, clean water, and proper diet. Properly caring for a turtle is more complicated than most people think. An adult, not a child, must take primary responsibility for maintaining and cleaning the housing, feeding, and monitoring the turtle for any signs of illness. Natural environment The normal range for the Red-eared Slider in the United States is from Illinois to the Gulf of Mexico, and the East Coast to western Texas. It has been found in other regions, presumably because people released their pet turtles into those areas. It spends most of its time in or around water."

We have neither the controlled scientific research nor a narrow enough focus to definitively answer all the specific questions, but I can lay down basic feeding theory and offer insight. I can summarize what I’ve learned from others, read, seen and think. There are holes and I’ll try to highlight those. There are controversial points others may debate. Ordinarily I don’t write articles with such gaping holes but the need for one on this topic justifies it, despite its incompleteness. To answer these questions, we’ll break it down into a discussion of what turtles are, general principles of herbivores, carnivores & omnivores, establish an environmental frame of reference, review dietary-related health concerns & lay out a basic dietary plan. Don’t miss the Resources section at the end; there’s great stuff out there you can read online for free, and the books are worth having. If you just want recommendations, go to Section X.)

The turtle is the only species of the genus Chrysemys, which is part of the pond turtle family Emydidae. Fossils show that the painted turtle existed 15 million years ago. Four regionally based subspecies (the eastern, midland, southern, and western) evolved during the last ice age."

"text": "Wild turtles often harbor small numbers of parasites, though they do not always cause health problems for the turtles. Captive turtles kept in unclean cages and in frequent contact with their waste, can develop high parasite loads and illness. Anorexia, depression, lethargy and intestinal disturbances are all signs of internal parasites, but some external parasites are visible to the naked eye. If your turtle displays symptoms of parasites, you should consult with your veterinarian to establish a parasite treatment program. Veterinary Examination Turtles with parasites may only exhibit mild, vague symptoms -- or they may be completely asymptomatic. Have your turtle examined by a reptile-oriented veterinarian when you first acquire him, and otherwise anytime he exhibits unusual behaviors. The vet will examine your turtle’s feces for signs of roundworms, hookworms, tapeworms and whipworms. Additionally, the vet may check your turtle’s blood chemistry and look for evidence of flukes. After diagnosing which, if any, parasites are infecting your reptile, the vet will prescribe appropriate medications to treat any parasite infestations. Visual Signs Aquatic turtles do not often get mites, ticks and similar external parasites, but they are susceptible to leeches."

They are the sliders is the one most often sold in pet stores here in the U. S. and abroad. These fresh water turtles spend much of their time in the warm waters of their native habitat. While they are strong underwater swimmers, these sliders spend much of the warmer hours of the day hauled out on logs or rocks (or, when very small, on marsh weeds and other aquatic plants) basking in the sun. All of the sliders are omnivores, eating both animal protein and vegetable/plant matter. Younger turtles need up to 40% of their food from protein sources; adult turtles feed more heavily on vegetation. In the wild they begin by eating tiny fish and amphibian larva, water snails and a variety of plants growing in the water and on land. It is illegal in the U. S. for pet stores to sell any turtle that is less than four inches (10.6 cm) in length (this is problematic for those few turtle species whose full adult size is 4\"\" or less!). The ones sold legally must be at least four inches long from the neck end of the carapace (top shell) to the tail end of the carapace. If male, it will be somewhere between 2-4 years old and already sexually mature."

"text": "\"How to Keep Robin Eggs Warm By Carrie Terry Items you will need Incubator Cardboard box Blanket/Paper towels Lamp220-volt light bulb Thermometer When a robin lays eggs, the eggs must be kept warm and secure in order to hatch. Under normal conditions, robins sit on their nests to provide that warmth and safety; however, when something happens to the mother, the eggs must be kept warm in other ways. If you have found a deserted robin's nest with eggs, gather the eggs carefully and warm them in an incubator until they hatch. If you do not have an incubator, you can use some common household items instead. Incubator Hatching Place the eggs inside of the incubator. Put the incubator in a safe, sheltered spot away from drafts and traffic. You should not expose robin eggs to extreme temperature changes or direct sunlight. Set the thermostat on your incubator to 100 degrees fahrenheit. The temperature of the box should remain constant. Box Hatching Find a small, cardboard box and line it with paper towels or a blanket."

You need to know the symptoms of these illnesses. That knowledge can help you protect and care for your hard-shelled pets. Respiratory Infections Like humans, some turtles contract respiratory infections, similar to human colds and pneumonia. In a turtle, these symptoms include choking, mucus discharges and gasping. You may also see more subtle symptoms like weakness and listlessness, and even leaning to one side. A veterinarian's care, including antibiotics, can correct this condition.

"text": "Turtles and tortoises are often confused, but there's a big difference between them. Turtles live in water, including the oceans, rivers and even lakes. Tortoises are land animals. Both turtles and tortoises are reptiles and share many common characteristics, including long lifespans. Lifespan Turtles live shorter lives than tortoises, mainly because of the added risks found in the water. According to the San Diego Zoo, tortoises can easily reach 150 years of age, while turtles live about 70 years. It's harder to track the lifespan of sea animals because of their nomadic habits, so the numbers are approximate. Oldest Ocean Creatures According to National Geographic, leatherback turtles can claim an impressive record: they're the longest-living creatures still in existence to roam the oceans. That's right -- leatherback turtles date back to before the time of the dinosaurs, more than 150 million years ago. Leatherback turtles are also one of the most endangered species of turtles in the world, National Geographic reports."

The RES is only one of the 4 subspecies (the others are the Yellow-bellied, Cumberland & Big Bend sliders) making up the single species we call the Slider. The body form is ‘classic basking turtle’ style, with an oval body form (circular in hatchlings), mildly domed on top & flat-bottomed, blunt head with peripherally-placed eyes & a blunt snout, feet with webbed (& clawed) toes & a small tail. The shell has an internal bony foundation on which are overlaid keratin (like your fingernails are made of) plates called scutes. The shell includes a mildly to moderately domed carapace (upper shell) & a hingeless plastron (lower shell); the turtle can withdraw into the shell but the shell cannot close at all (RES rely on deep water for protection; on land they're vulnerable to predators like raccoons). The carapace is smooth ( note: captives reared too fast with excess dietary protein may have raised scutes (a 'bumpy' carapace) with concentric rings. This is termed pyramiding ). In hatchlings the carapace & skin start out a bright green; the lateral carapace scute pattern is similar to a green fingerprint with lined whorls, & the skin is striped. Behind the eyes are the classic jelly bean-shaped patches from which this subspecies takes its name (but they aren't the ears). The plastron is a bland yellow with black spots or smudges."

"text": "\"Yellow-bellied sliders (Trachemys scripta scripta) are freshwater turtles that come from the United States, specifically the nation's southeastern region. Out in nature, they are prevalent in states such as Virginia, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina and Alabama. Yellow-bellied sliders also make common household pets. They are part of the family Emydidae. Basic Information Yellow-bellied sliders, in line with their handles, do indeed possess yellow tummies. Most of their body coloration, however, is yellowish-green or brown. Their upper shells generally are between 5 and 8 inches in length, although they can, in rare circumstances, grow to a maximum of a foot. Their yellow lower bodies are often adorned with dark, circular smears, although not in 100 percent of specimens. In terms of living environment, wild specimens typically reside in marshes, ponds, creeks, ditches and lakes. Wild Diet Mature yellow-bellied sliders consume omnivorous diets -- a mixture of plants and meat."

"text": "\"Box turtles, also called terrapins, are terrestrial turtles, but most species require constant access to fresh water. There are two North American species of the genus Terrapene divided into six subspecies: Florida box turtle (Terrapene carolina bauri), Gulf Coast box turtle (Terrapene carolina major), three-toed box turtle (Terrapene carolina triunguis), Eastern box turtle (Terrapene carolina carolina) and two ornate or Western box turtles (Terrapene ornata ornata and Terrapene ornata luteola). There are 10 similar but unrelated species of Asian box turtles of the genus Cuora. Box Turtle Habitat All Eastern box turtle subspecies live in temperate open woodlands. They prefer habitats such as marshes, meadows and pastures, and must always be near a freshwater source such as a swamp, pond or stream. These turtles don't live in the forest itself, but in more open areas with heavy plant cover and low fruiting plants such as shrubs and brambles. Western box turtles tolerate drier conditions with less cover -- they live in low desert, scrubland and open plains throughout the central and southern U. S. and Mexico. Asian box turtles are more aquatic than North American ones and live primarily in wet forested areas with ponds, lakes, rivers, streams, swamps or marshes. All box turtles are omnivorous and need a wide variety of plant matter, small mammals, amphibians and arthropods. They also eat fungi, including mushrooms poisonous to human beings."

"text": "\"Home »Flowers Meaning of Violet Flowers By Sophie Johnson; Updated September 21, 2017A diminutive flower, the violet has a whole array of meanings, many to do with color, many to do with its gentle size and appearance. Most meanings are pleasant ones, and the fondness people have for the flower has placed it in the calendar as the flower for the month of February and made violets the state flower of Illinois, Wisconsin, New Jersey and Rhode Island. With a history connected to many myths, it isn't surprising that the violet is the flower of Greece. History Folklore says the violet connotes a love that is delicate. The sensibility of delicacy is also associated with the violet from ancient mythology. Roman and Greek myths recount a tragic story of one of the goddess Diana's (Artemis) nymph companions, all of whom had sworn to stay maidens. The nymph was unrelentingly chased by Diana's twin brother, Apollo, so that Diana changed the nymph into a violet to protect her. The modesty of the nymph is attributed to the violet. Religious Significance Violets, both the flower and the color inspired by it, have much meaning in Christianity. One important meaning associates the violet with Mary and modesty."

MGM's elaborate adaptation of L. Frank Baum's 1900 fantasy classic THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ not only became an institution among itself (and practically defined the concept of modern popular culture), but is reported to be the most viewed film ever made. A sharp screenplay effectively condenses the novel's text into a workable film, and director Victor Fleming (along with countless other behind-the-scenes technicians) craft a visually stimulating fantasy world that surpasses the expectations of even the most imaginative viewers. Brimming with stunning visual effects (the film's fierce tornado is an FX feat that has yet to be surpassed by CGI), witty dialogue, and eye-popping Technicolor, THE WIZARD OF OZ truly lives up to it's reputation as a once-in-a-lifetime film where every element comes together flawlessly. The cast could not be improved upon. The quivery-voiced, solemn-faced Judy Garland will always be Dorothy, the little lost farm girl on the road to Oz, clutching her beloved Toto (impressively portrayed himself by the female canine performer Terry, the terrier). It seems inconceivable that MGM had originally wished to cast Shirley Temple in the role, as Temple's doe-eyed, cutesy-voiced shtick would have been a catastrophic ill-fit for the tone of this picture. Conversely, Garland is perhaps the screen's quintessential woman/child; always seemingly just one step away from reaching full emotional maturity. It is her sadness that transfixes viewers to the screen, the exact same quality that made the film's most memorable Harold Arlen/E. Y. Harburg number \"\"Over the Rainbow\"\" into one of the most exquisite marriages between artist and song ever to be recorded. The remainder of the cast is similarly exceptional, many of whom perform perfectly even under the most debilitating make-up and costumes."

When a person first begins to see the auric field around the body, this is what they see, the glowing white light, which radiates around the physical body.

White is rarely seen as the primary color in the overall aura and once a person has more practice in seeing the aura, the colors surrounding the auric fields quickly predominate and are more vivid and exciting than the white glow of the first field.

Orbs of white light that are focused in a ball or spiral shape indicate spiritual beings in the energy fields surrounding the person and at times, attempting to communicate with the person. When the protective shield of the aura is enlarged and expands outward to protect the physical body, it glows with a white light and appears like a glowing bubble of white light around the person. This can be extended from the person to protect other fields around them including people, animals, buildings and vehicles. Recommendations to Connect With and Balance White: Foods: Honey. Most foods are not meant to assist with raising the white light energy around you."

"text": "Yin Yang Meaning By Sally Painter Feng Shui Practitioner Source The yin yang meaning and symbol date back to ancient China. The symbol represents the belief that everything in the universe consists of two forces that are opposing but complementary. The Basic Philosophy of Yin Yang According to yin yang philosophy, the universe and everything in it are both constant and cyclical. In this infinite cycle, one force dominates and is then replaced by the opposing force. Examples illustrating the yin yang philosophy include: Life and death Heaven and earth Night and day Dark and light Health and sickness Poverty and wealth Cycle of the seasons from spring to winter Cold and hot Positive and negative The Yin Yang Symbol The symbol of the yin yang, also known as the Tai Chi or Taiqi symbol, consists of a circle equally divided into black and white sections by a reverse S-like shape. Within the black section is a small circle of white. Within the white section is a small circle of black. Each of the individual aspects of the yin yang symbol has a significant meaning as does the entire yin yang. The Outer Circle The outer circle of the yin yang sign represents everything in the universe as well as the universe itself. It encompasses the duality of everything that exists."

Neither of the complementing forces is absolute, as each side of the Taijitu contains a small part of the other.

In China, the theory of five elements coexisted early with the theory of two forces: and. These can also simply be called the \"\"two forces,\"\" (where ch'i,, is the \"\"breath\"\" or vital energy of the body, but also simply air, steam, or weather). In the Spring and Autumn Period there was actually a Yin and Yang School. Later its theories were accepted by nearly everyone, but especially by Taoism. The implications of the theory are displayed in the great book of divination, the I Ching,, the \"\"Book of Changes. \"\" Yin originally meant \"\"shady, secret, dark, mysterious, cold.\"\" It thus could mean the shaded, north side of a mountain or the shaded, south bank of a river. Yang in turn meant \"\"clear, bright, the sun, heat,\"\" the opposite of yin and so the lit, south side of a mountain or the lit, north bank of a river. From these basic opposites, a complete system of opposites was elaborated."

Unbelievably, references to Yin and Yang date back as far as 700 B. C.

The youngest of five siblings (consisting of two brother and two sisters) whose father died when he was only two years old, one might say that the painfully honest momma's boy has, since reaching adulthood, slightly overcompensated for his admittedly over-protected childhood (the future daredevil didn't even learn how to ride a bicycle until in his early teens). Sent during summer recess to what is now referred to as the Beijing Sports and Exercise school, Li was fatefully assigned to the wushu class and was one of a mere handful of students asked to return when the season ended and students filed back into classrooms in the fall. An exceptionally adept wushu student despite being only eight years of age, the experience boosted the confidence of the shy youth despite urges to join his classmates in after-school play. Leaving home for the first time the following year to attend competition, Li took first place at the event and was concurrently given the honor of performing at the opening ceremony of the eagerly anticipated Pan-Asian-African-Latin American Table Tennis Championships, an honor which also included the youth receiving personal praise from none other than Premier Zhou Enlai. No longer required to attend conventional schooling, the young wonder was admitted to a rigorous sports school. Eventually remaining with a group that consisted of 20 of China's finest young wushu practitioners, the students were then put through another kind of training entirely -- this time of the Western etiquette persuasion -- for an extremely important goodwill tour of the United States. Despite a potentially embarrassing international incident in which the overly excited youngster expressed his excitement when he spotted what he thought was a Chinese airplane in Hawaii (the plane was actually Tawianese, an extremely sensitive and important distinction at the time) and travels with a heavily guarded entourage, the journey went fairly well and gave Li a newfound sense of independence. Winning the coveted All-China Youth Championships upon his return to China provided Li with his first national championship title, though it was only a prelude to a slew of awards to come including a bloodied performance at the qualifying round of China's National Games, during which Li accidentally cut his head with his saber (the determined youngster didn't even realize what had happened, assuming he was simply perspiring, until his form was nearly finished). Despite his serious injury, the 12-year-old Li went on to win first place in the National Games to the amazement of the enraptured crowd."

The Taoists who developed the system of traditional Chinese medicine saw the universe as a unified field, constantly moving and changing while maintaining its oneness. This constant state of change was explained through the theory of yin and yang, which appeared in written form around 700 B. C. in the I Ching (\"\"Book of Changes\"\"). According to the theory, nature expresses itself in an endless cycle of polar opposites such as day and night, moisture and dryness, heat and cold, and activity and rest. Yin phenomena are those that exhibit the nurturing qualities of darkness, rest, moisture, cold, and structure. Its Chinese character depicts the shady side of a hill.

"text": "\"Home > Chinese Medicine Basics > Yin / Yang Theory Yin and Yang : A Basic Introduction By Marc Ryan Chinese Medical theory, though scientific in its own right, is built on a foundation of ancient philosophical thought. Many of these ideas are based on observations of natural phenomena and are the reason why Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM ) has remained a truly holistic approach to health and well being. The Theory of Yin and Yang is one such philosophy. It is said to date back nearly 6,000 years to the third or fourth millennium B. C. and is attributed to an enlightened philosopher named Fu Shi (also credited with creating the I-Ching or Book of Changes). The basic premise of yin and yang is the notion that the only constant factor in natural phenomena is universal change. In other words, nothing remains the same; no disease, no condition, no emotion, no treatment or diagnosis, absolutely everything is in a constant state of flux and, therefore, subject to the laws of change. Yin and Yang are metaphorical images used to express these constantly transforming interactions. They have no fixed, precise definition. Rather, they describe two broad categories of complementary concepts which include the relationships of positive and negative, dynamic and inert, creative and destructive, gross and subtle, and kinetic and potential. This is quite similar to the notion of dialectics as expressed in Western philosophy."

"text": "Arts & Humanities Visual Arts Drawing & Illustration What does a ying-yang mean? Follow 15 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The concept of yin and yang originates in ancient Chinese philosophy and metaphysics, which describes two primal opposing but complementary forces found in all things in the universe. Yin, the darker element, is passive, dark, feminine, downward-seeking, and corresponds to the night; yang, the brighter element, is active, light, masculine, upward-seeking and corresponds to the day; yin is often symbolized by water, while yang is symbolized by fire. The pair probably goes back to ancient agrarian religion; it exists in Confucianism, and it is prominent in Taoism. Though the words yin and yang only appear once in the Tao Te Ching, the book is laden with examples and clarifications of the concept of mutual arising. Yin and yang are descriptions of complementary opposites rather than absolutes. Any yin/yang dichotomy can be seen as its opposite when viewed from another perspective. The categorisation is seen as one of convenience. Most forces in nature can be broken down into their respective yin and yang states, and the two are usually in movement rather than held in absolute stasis.

"text": "\"This article focuses on the possibility of a dialogue between the macrobiotic yin-yang unifying principle and the modern scientific method, and on what we can learn from the scientific data with regard to the recent problem of several macrobiotic friends who developed cancer. Some macrobiotic friends and teachers seem to believe that macrobiotics should not rely on science, but only on yin-yang, which they consider a firmer foundation for managing health problems. However, it could be said that modern macrobiotics, since its origins, has included western science in its approach. George Ohsawa himself interpreted, in a renewed way, the traditional yin-yang principle, disentangling it from the body of the traditional Chinese medicine and culture in order to open a dialogue with western science. Ohsawa took this courageous and hazardous step because he felt that this method had to be rescued from the superstition into which it had fallen along the centuries. All the insights on chemistry and physics reported in Ohsawa's books are there to demonstrate the importance of modern science as an unavoidable reference point for Ohsawa himself. In the later years, the macrobiotic community has not really deepened this subject. Instead, the use of science by the macrobiotic community has ended up being rather instrumental - for example reporting only the medical data supporting our views on health and forgetting the controversial ones - and it does not show a true attitude to learning what is worthwhile from the scientific community. Weak and strong points Actually, the scientific method and community have their strong and weak points as everything and everyone else in this world. Among the strong points is that a theory has to be verified by facts or experiments, in order to be shared by the scientific community."

This question has zero details. Occam's razor time…I’d guess it was completely normal Moulting In birds, moulting is the periodic replacement of feathers by shedding old feathers while producing new ones. Feathers are dead structures at maturity which are gradually abraded and need to be replaced. Adult birds moult at least once a year, although many moult twice and a few three times each year. [ 2] It is generally a slow process as birds rarely shed all their feathers at any one time; the bird must retain sufficient feathers to regulate its body temperature and repel moisture.

The mountain and plains zebra are the members of subgenus Hippotigris whereas the grevy’s zebra belongs to the subgenus Dolichohippus. What Do Zebras Eat? Zebras are strictly terrestrial herbivores and they predominantly feed on shrubs, herbs, twigs, leaves, several fallen fruit, aquatic vegetation, cultivated crops, roots, bark, but they prefer to eat green shoots.

"text": "How did the zebra get its stripes? It sounds like the theme for a “Just So” story that Rudyard Kipling never got around to writing. You would think that someone would have come up with the definitive answer by now, but, in fact, the reason zebras have stripes remains a biological mystery. The laws of evolution suggest that the random emergence of stripes on the ancestors of modern zebras must have had some sort of advantage that allowed them to reproduce more prolifically than their unstriped brethren. The striped animals would have become more common with each generation, ultimately outlasting the ones without stripes. But scientists have puzzled for years over what that advantage might have been. The problem isn’t that they have no good ideas—it’s that they have too many good ideas. Maybe stripes let zebras blend in with vegetation, so that predators can’t see them. Maybe they make it hard for predators to judge a zebra’s speed and distance when it’s running on the open savannah. ( This idea inspired a form of camouflage used by ships during the First World War.)"

"text": "What Do Zebras Eat Did you know that zebras are actually the wild relatives of horses and donkeys? These animals are well-known for their gorgeous white and black strikes. The elaborate stripes are important because they help the zebra to blend into its natural environment. In this environment, a haze occurs over long distances, and the stripes help the zebra to blend in with the haze, so it’s able to avoid becoming prey. The African savanna can be a dangerous place for zebras, so they need all of the defensive mechanisms that they can get. Wild zebras prefer to eat several different foods. Since they live in such a harsh climate, zebras have a unique digestive and metabolism system, so they’re able to consume grasses and plants that have little nutritional value. These are the same foods that many other herbivores wouldn’t be able to live on because they don’t have the special digestive bacteria in their stomach like the zebra. Wild zebras tend to eat mostly long, flowering grasses, like the Red Grass. This is one of the most dominant types of grass in the savanna, so there is plenty of it to go around."

The Zebra Loach is one of the most under rated of the snail eating Botia, in my opinion. But what if you have a planted aquarium and you’re keeping small shrimp? Zebra Loaches may very well eat them! Or what if you have a small tank, but don’t have room to house 4 or 5 of these fish? Well, I think there may be something that is just as effective, does not appear to want to eat the little shrimp, and won’t take up a lot of room.

Giraffe Wannabe February 9, 2014By Laura Overdeck | Animals, Daily Math, Science and Nature Facebook Twitter Google+ Pinterest E-mail When you put a hamburger and cheese together, you get a cheeseburger. When you combine a spoon with a fork, you get a spork. But what the heck do you get when you put a zebra with a giraffe? You get something like the okapi, a strange animal from the middle of Africa that has the stripes and short neck of a zebra, but is more closely related to the giraffe. Only its legs and bottom half of the body are striped, possibly so baby okapis can see and follow their mom easily through tall grass. Like a giraffe, the okapi eats leaves from trees using its long tongue, which is so long that an okapi can lick its own eyelids and ears to clean them."

I have many years of experience with betta fish in particular. Contact Author What Fish Will Your Betta Get Along With? So you've got a betta, and your tank is looking a little lonely. You have the urge to put more fish in the tank so your betta can have friends, but unfortunately, bettas or \"\"Siamese fighting fish\"\" are known to be territorial fighters. Males, especially, will kill other males and many other different types of fish if he believes they're a threat to his tank. You can keep two or more female bettas together, but aggression could occur. A male and a female betta sharing the same tank is not recommended because the male might be violent and kill the female to show dominance. Fortunately, there are some fish that your betta will tolerate. Below, we'll discuss possible species of fish that your betta will likely get along with."

Credit: Mogens Trolle | Shutterstock Zebras are single-hoofed animals that are native to Africa. Zebras are very closely related to horses and donkeys; in fact, they are in the same genus, Equus. The most prominent feature of zebras is the bold patterns on their coats. Zebras are generally thought to have white coats with black or brown stripes, according to the San Diego Zoo, because the stripes end at their bellies and the inner side of the legs, which are white. However, zebras have black skin under their white coats!Each species of zebra has a different general pattern of stripes. The Grevy's zebra has very thin stripes. The mountain zebra has vertical stripes on its neck and torso, but horizontal stripes on its haunches. Some subspecies of plains zebras have brownish \"\"shadow\"\" stripes between the black stripes, according to the San Diego Zoo. It is believed that the zebra's stripes work like camouflage, according to the National Geographic."

Zebra mussels have spread to 20 of the United States and the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec. First found in Lake St. Clair, they have spread south to the Gulf of Mexico and north into southern Canada. What do zebra mussels look like? Zebra mussels can be up to two inches (50 mm) long.

This article demonstrates some of the most imperative zebra habitat facts and its widespread distribution. One of the most common zebra species is plains zebras that inhabits across southern Ethiopia, Angola and South Africa. Kenya and Tanzania hosts 8 to 10 plains zebras. When it comes to Grevy’s zebras, their inhabiting range is perhaps restricted to eastern Ethiopia, northern Kenya with some species also dwelling in Sudan.

"text": "A mussel is a type of bivalve mollusk that can be found in fresh water lakes, streams, and creeks, along with the salty intertidal zone where oceans meet the shore. Like many other shellfish, they are cultivated and caught in the wild to serve as food for humans, and they also have a number of predators in the natural environment. This mollusk is also much more popular in Europe and parts of the Asia than North America, where only a small portion of the population is interested in mussels as a food source. Mussels share many characteristics with clams, another bivalve widely eaten by humans. They have a more oblong than oval shell, however, with the dorsal region located towards the bottom of the shells rather than in the middle, as is common with clams. Mussels typically have a dark shell, in blue, green, or brown, and they come in a range of sizes. In freshwater, they typically burrow into the bottom of a body of water, allowing harvesters to dig them up relatively easily. An intertidal mussel anchors itself to a rock with a thick cluster of very strong fibers that can be difficult to dislodge. These mollusks reproduce sexually, with the young hatching loose in the water. The larvae float until they reach a suitable living space, which distributes them more widely and gives them a better chance at survival."

"text": "Full Answer All three species of zebra feature black and white stripes and live in Africa. The plains zebra and the mountain zebra resemble horses, while the Grevy's zebra is related to the ass. Grevy's zebras live in semi-desert areas. Tough grasses form the bulk of this endangered zebra's diet. They also eat plenty of leaves, which can sometimes form up to 30 percent of their diet. There are two types of mountain zebra: Cape mountain zebras, which were almost hunted into extinction in the early 20th century, and the Hartmann's mountain zebra. They both eat a few types of grass, ignoring others. Themeda triandra, Cymbopogon plurinodis and Setaria neglecta are a few varieties they prefer. During the summer months Cape mountain zebras, found only in South Africa, regularly visit mineral licks. Plains zebras, or Burchell's zebras, are the most common zebra in Africa."

This test is not an admissions test and has no bearing on a student's acceptance to the college. In fact, most students have already been accepted to the school before they take the test. It is not a test that is passed or failed, but simply to determine whether an individual needs to take some refresher courses before entering college level coursework. This is to ensure the student has the appropriate basic skills to succeed at the college level. The test is broken down into four parts; two parts English and two parts mathematics. The English includes grammar (sentence sense), and reading comprehension."

My primary goal however is to obtain a BSN from Ohio University-Online, but my ADN plans are just for backup in case I can't do ABSN. I know I need to speak with a counselor from OU about the classes I need, so if I take all of the required classes by OU for their program I should be okay to obtain a BSN from them correct? Would this be possible? Oh, clarification my school refers to the AAS as Associates of Applied Science (in Nursing) VS. an ADN (Associates degree in Nursing), I am just hoping that I can complete the program obtain my RN license and move on to OU RN-BSN program with no problem (after I have taken all of their pre-reqs) Someone please convince me I'm not crazy!!

Audio-Animatronics are essentially robots controlled by radio and/or cables in the floor. The robots are designed to look like real animals and humans, allowing them to have startlingly lifelike movements. They can sit and stand but cannot walk. An Audio-Animatron is different from an android-type robot in that it uses prerecorded movements and sounds, rather than responding to external stimuli. In 2009, Disney created an interactive version of the technology called Autonomatronics. Contents [ show]History Audio-Animatronics were originally a creation of Walt Disney employee Lee Adams, who worked as an electrician at the Burbank studio and was one of Disney's original Imagineers. One of the first Disney Audio-Animatrons was a toy bird Walt Disney got in New Orleans. It was a simple mechanical bird, and Walt decided to improve the device that moved it.

Update: i just want to make sure if i spend two years getting an associates somewhere, i won't have to spend an additional four getting the bachelors1 following 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: There are two types of associates degrees. There is an academic/transfer degree specifically for people who are working on the first half of a bachelor's degree and there is a vocational degree for those people who need to learn a technical vocation and plan to go straight to work. The Associate of Arts (transfer) is an example of the first. The Associate of Applied Science in Automotive Mechanics is an example of the second. There's also something in between the two at some colleges that is mostly a transfer degree but with components of a vocational degree. The Associate of Science in Nursing is one of these."

AA-T and AS-T are acronyms for Associate in Arts and Associate in Science degrees that are designed specifically for transfer to the California State University System. The degrees are the results of Senate Bill 1440, a transfer bill that required the California Community Colleges to offer associate degrees for transfer in many of the most popular majors, and for the CSU to provide priority admission to California Community College students who have earned an AA-T or AS-T degree. These degrees can be completed in 60 transferable semester units (or 90 quarter units) and include coursework in general education, major preparation and electives. I want to get one of these degrees. Where do I start? We’ve included a quick tips list on our Get Started page for high school, community college and in-between students. Students can see their high school or community college counselor for more information. How are the AA-T and AS-T degrees different from the associate degrees that community colleges already offer? Students completing an AA-T or AS-T degree receive priority admission to the CSU system."
