"text": "HEAT DETECTION DEMANDS TIME AND ATTENTION FOR SUCCESSFUL A. I. PROGRAMEric Grant and Wes Ishmael Heat (estrus) is simply the period of time when a cow or heifer is sexually receptive and signals that an egg, ready to be fertilized, is about to be released. It normally occurs every 18 to 24 days. In a natural breeding program, the bull is the one that determines when a cow is in heat. In an AI program, you make the decisions. Heat detection is just another step in the more intensive management system that is part of artificial insemination. It is not difficult, but it does demand both time and attention. If you want your AI program to be successful, you cannot cut corners here. You have to learn what the bull knows instinctively, but once you have that knowledge, you can easily get the equipment needed for detection eyesight, a pencil and a notebook. Your cows must be identified, too. Ear tags, neck chains or number brands will work, just as long as they are easy to read and can be read from a distance."

The race to the 2017 finish line is in full throttle – While last minute closed deals are still trickling in, B2B organizations are researching how to shape next year’s sales strategy to align with the top sales trends that are expected to emerge in 2018.2017 was a YUGE year in the world of sales, and we’re predicting that 2018 will be even bigger. Regarding our 2017 sales predictions, here’s a quick reflection: What we were RIGHT about: Powerful partnerships and mergers e.g. Salesforce & Google Spike in acquisition purchasing power – validated via Tomasz Tunguz Powerful buyer influence of software review sites like G2Crowd & Capterra. The continued increase of content noise = more difficult to stand out. The evolution of Sales & Marketing into Revenue Ops & Customer Ops. Yo Y Increase in CAC leading to increased reliance on channel partnerships. What we’re still UNSURE about: How will enterprise giants like Microsoft react to partnerships like Salesforce & Google? Impact of net neutrality – will likely affect content publishers in a big way. Unification of the tech stack – this is getting harder to do, how will it happen? Acquisition speculation – are there more possibilities that could impact Saa S in 2018?"

About Spaceline Spaceline Photo Gallery Book Shop THE HISTORY OF CAPE CANAVERAL CHAPTER 1 CAPE CANAVERAL BEFORE ROCKETS (B. C.-1948) Written and Edited by Cliff Lethbridge Origin Of Cape Canaveral Remains Largely A Mystery Although the recorded history of Cape Canaveral dates back a remarkable 500 years, next to nothing is known about when and how Cape Canaveral formed, or what exactly happened there prior to the advent of Spanish colonial exploration. It is generally believed that geographic Cape Canaveral, as it is known today, was likely underwater for untold thousands of years. There is ample geological evidence of ancient dune lines, where ocean waves once broke upon the shoreline. Actually, these dune lines run north and south along the Florida mainland about 10 to 15 miles inland from present day Cape Canaveral. Huge numbers of indigenous sea shells are commonly found at any inland construction site where deep digging is conducted. What is nearly certain is that at some point in time, the ocean waves receded, and a combination of tidal action and local topography allowed a small point of land to jut out from the coastline into the great sea. Imagination must of necessity rule when trying to imagine what the area was like before human intervention. Cape Canaveral likely played host to a huge variety of flora and fauna, including just about any creature that could fly, walk or crawl to its shores. Even the great wooly mammoths once roamed the Florida mainland, and perhaps even these animals ambled across the coastal shallows to graze on this ancient landscape."

"text": "Strategies for Success in Heat Detection and Artificial Insemination Dairy September 24, 2012Introduction The failure to detect heat is a common and costly problem of artificial insemination (AI) programs and a major limiting factor of reproductive performance on many dairies (Nebel and Jobst, 1998). Consequently, a successful AI program must begin with efficient and accurate heat detection. Other critical factors related to a successful AI program include appropriate semen handling, site of semen deposition in the female reproductive tract, and timely AI relative to ovulation. Please check this link first if you are interested in organic or specialty dairy production. What Causes Dairy Cattle to Show Signs of Heat? The length of the estrous cycle in dairy cattle is 18 to 24 days, with an average of approximately 21 days. As the nonpregnant cow nears the end of one estrous cycle, the preovulatory follicle (which contains the ovum, or egg) grows larger and produces increasingly more estradiol. Estradiol (a steroid hormone belonging to the estrogen family) plays an important role in reproduction, as it acts on the brain to induce behavioral estrus (heat) and sets into motion the preovulatory surge of luteinizing hormone (LH) from the anterior pituitary gland, which begins the process of ovulation. The primary sign of heat is when a cow stands to allow a herdmate to mount. Secondary signs include attempting to mount other animals, chin resting, increased activity, clear mucous discharge from the vulva, and swelling and redness of the vulva."

Preamble Every sailor fears fog in all its various forms. Given the choice, most sailors would probably prefer to be caught out in strong winds than a thick fog. At least with strong winds, given the sea room, you can heave-to. Caught out in fog there really is no safe haven. Even with radar, there are the ever-present worries of small vessels that give a weak echo and of larger ones that might not even see you at all. AIS is useful to “see” large ships but there is no guarantee that they are using it. Some quite large ships such as customs vessels or warships turn off the AIS for good reasons.

So what is a VHF radio and why do I need one? A VHF radio stands for Very High Frequency radio also known as a two way marine radio. It is the single most important communication device you need to buy and always have on you or your boat. A few miles offshore it might be the only way for you to communicate and send messages. Table of Contents What are the features of a good VHF radio? Selectable power output - up to 25 Watts of transmitting power for fixed mount radio and 6 Watts for handheld radios Waterproof body for fixed mount radios and submersible and floating for handheld VHFs ALL US/Canada and International channels Hailer (fixed mount)Horn/Foghorn (fixed mount)AIS (fixed mount)Dedicated DSC receiver GPS receiver Weather channels with weather alerts (NOAA Weather Radios)Active noise cancelling Large displays Why VHF marine radio and not just a cell phone? The cell phones are designed to operate using cell towers that are placed on land. Most of the time, the location of the cell tower placement will be more inland to maximize land coverage. That means that a typical coverage of 25-45 miles might be actually a fraction of that distance due to a tower placement."

This Guide is distinct from my Diplomatic Victory Guide and has nothing to do with being elected World Leader. This is about understanding the things that affect your relationships with other Civilizations and how that can aid you in signing Declarations of Friendship (Do F) and avoiding Declarations of War (Do W). I'll list how you may interact with other Civs as well as many (if not all) of the positive and negative impacts on Diplomatic Score and provide tips to getting more Declarations of Friendship, Research Agreements, and even Alliances (Defensive Pacts). You may also use this info to plan your strategy if you're playing the bad guy, to put off War with other Civs until you are ready - give them some positive things to consider about you before they jump on the bandwagon and decide you're a major threat to the World. Every Civilization in the game that is known is judging you based on your actions, and the AI even judge each other in this way. A Warmonger will generally be hated by most of the World, and weak Civs will get conquered by these Warlike Civs over simple land disputes. You can consider most every Civ warlike to some degree, for if you do enough to anger them and they think they can defeat you, they will declare war or, at the very least, denounce you."

Advanced training is better than basic training, but not by a whole heck of a lot. You are pretty limited in your freedoms. You are still in training.

Is there any benefit to having the Infantry MOS school being literally only three weeks long, whereas infantry job training for other Western armies is usually much longer and more in depth (Canadian Infantrymen do 17 weeks of Infantry training after Basic, for example). Even the Marines don't have something like OSUT. All Marines go to Boot Camp, and then the Infantry Marines do a two month long AIT style course, instead of just three weeks of infantry training tacked on to the end of Boot Camp.

The American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) is responsible for implementing U. S. policy toward Taiwan. The United States does not support Taiwan independence. Maintaining strong, unofficial relations with Taiwan is a major U. S. goal, in line with the U. S. desire to further peace and stability in Asia. The 1979 Taiwan Relations Act provides the legal basis for the unofficial relationship between the United States and Taiwan, and enshrines the U.

There are lots of reasons for advising students to study Latin in the schools, all of them are sincere but the variety of messages is in a way bewildering. Let me run through a list of some of the standard views, in order to pave a path for a new view which I believe we have not sufficiently explored:a) Latin is exact and almost mathematical, it teaches you how to work. ( Bad message, math and physics are better for discipline if that is really what you think education is. ) b) We study Latin to read the great Classical Literature. ( Question: Then why do most students and also schools drop Latin just before reading Vergil, the unique and most important author? ) c) We are studying the culture, a window into another world. ( Good, the anthropological approach uses archaeology heavily, but if this is the focus, then reading Latin texts becomes weak.....)d) Roman history is important as based on ancient documents and shows us things to do --- and also to avoid. ( Wrong, we got ideas about slavery and killing \"\"natives' from the Latin sources. Actual Roman History is pretty thin, not one Roman history book has survived entire, while most have been totally lost! )"

As I once served with a unit that got a lot of National Guard for additional training, most of them had basic, then were assigned to a working unit in their eventual specialty. Some of ours went to a radio section for essentially apprentice training on radio procedures and maintenance. Since many specialties require more training, sometimes more than six months, those going in the National Guard get the “on-hands” training rather than full-time schools. Their units then send them to more training as funds are made available. That was my impression 50 years ago.

"text": "Technical Report Auditory Integration Training Working Group in AITAbout this Document: This technical report was prepared by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) Working Group on Auditory Integration Training and was adopted by the ASHA Executive Board in March 2003. It supersedes the technical report, “Auditory Integration Training,” 1994. Members of the Working Group were Anne Marie Tharpe (chair), Candace Bourland-Hicks, Judy Gravel, Jane Madell, Maurice H. Miller (coordinating committee member), and Gail Linn (ex officio). Richard Nodar and Susan J. Brannen, ASHA vice presidents for professional practices, served as monitoring vice presidents. Table of Contents AIT Methodology Treatment Candidacy Equipment Federal Regulation of Equipment Practitioner Education Concerns Related to Current Practice Research Findings Potential Treatment Risks Summary and Recommendations References Notes Over the past decade, audiologists, speech-language pathologists, and others have debated the contribution of auditory integration training (AIT), also known as auditory enhancement training and audio-psycho-phonology ( ASHA, 1994; Friel-Patti, 1994; Gravel, 1994; Miller & Lucker, 1997; Rimland & Edelson, 1994; Veale, 1994 ). Initial anecdotal reports suggested that AIT, when used with individuals having diagnoses of autism, pervasive developmental disorders, learning difficulties, attention deficit disorder, and dyslexia, resulted in reduced hyperacusis, increased attention span, better eye contact, more social awareness, fewer tantrums, increased verbalizations, improved auditory comprehension, and improved articulation. As a result of those reports, in 1994 the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) Subcommittee on Auditory Integration Training of the Ad Hoc Committee on Auditory Integration and Facilitated Communication published a report that reviewed the existing data on AIT. At that time, because the primary data sources were nonrefereed journals and anecdotal reports, the committee recommended that AIT be considered an experimental treatment and that consumers be notified of such before receiving services ( ASHA, 1994 ). Almost 10 years have passed since the writing of that report. The 2002 committee reviewed the extant research literature on AIT and concluded that a sufficient amount of data existed to warrant an update of the 1994 report."

The authors present a case study, review the thyroid dysfunctions that may occur with the use of amiodarone, and describe the nursing responsibilities in caring for patients with these dysfunctions. Amiodarone is often used to treat both ventricular and atrial arrhythmias. Although its cardiac side effects are less frequent than those associated with other antiarrhythmics, it has potentially marked effects on thyroid physiology; it can cause both thyrotoxicosis and hypothyroidism. Nursing care of patients receiving amiodarone includes recognizing and monitoring for these potential complications and teaching patients preventive measures to avoid these problems. In this article, we review the pharmacokinetics of amiodarone and the thyroid dysfunctions that can occur as side effects of its use. Next Section Case Study W.

"text": "Autism is sometimes described as a social/communication problem. Processing auditory information is a critical component of social communication, and people with autism spectrum disorders typically have problems processing this information. One problem occurs when a person hears speech sounds but does not perceive the meaning of the sounds. For example, if someone says the word ‘shoe,’ the person might hear the sound clearly, but doesn’t understand the meaning. Sometimes the lack of speech comprehension is interpreted by others as an unwillingness to comply, when in fact the person simply isn’t able to retrieve the meaning at that moment. Eric Courchesne, Ph. D., of the Neurosciences Department, University of California at San Diego, has found significant impairments in auditory processing in autistic individuals using P300 brain wave technology (see Courchesne, 1987 for a review). The P300 brain wave occurs 300 milliseconds after the presentation of a stimulus. ( The ‘P’ refers to the positive polarity of the brain wave.) The P300 is associated with cognitive processing, and this brain wave is considered an indication of long-term memory retrieval (Donchin, Ritter, & Mc Callum, 1978)."

The day before graduation, they have a “turning blue” ceremony. This is when the soldiers are presented with their blue cord that signifies that they are infantry. For me, it meant I was able to see my husband for the first time in months. First, we were all brought inside and were treated to a speech by their commander and shown a short video.

Leave After Basic Training With the exception of the Marine Corps, who authorizes all recruits to take 10 days of leave, immediately following boot camp, one does not normally get their first military leave until they graduate technical school/ AIT /A-School. After technical school /AIT / A-School, one is normally authorized to take 10 days of leave if their first assignment is to a stateside base, and 15 days of leave if their first assignment is to an overseas base. ( Note: For extremely long schools, longer leaves may be authorized upon graduation). During the two weeks around Christmas time, the Army pretty much shuts down basic training and AIT schools. The Air Force and Navy do not shut down basic training but do shut down many of their job schools (Tech Schools and A Schools). This period is known as \"\"Christmas Exodus.\"\" Recruits are usually allowed to go home on leave at this time if they want, even if it results in going \"\"in the hole\"\" on their leave balance. Recruits who choose not to take leave at this time, are normally assigned to do details (answer phones, cut the grass, etc), because most of the instructors/drill sergeants will be away on leave, and classes are not conducted during this time.

We suspect this figure is based on a flawed methodology by which Cloud Flare labels all traffic from an IP address that has ever sent spam as \"\"malicious.\"\" Tor IP addresses are conduits for millions of people who are then blocked from reaching websites under Cloud Flare's system. We're interested in hearing Cloud Flare's explanation of how they arrived at the 94% figure and why they choose to block so much legitimate Tor traffic. While we wait to hear from Cloud Flare, here's what we know:1) Cloud Flare uses an IP reputation system to assign scores to IP addresses that generate malicious traffic. In their blog post, they mentioned obtaining data from Project Honey Pot, in addition to their own systems. Project Honey Pot has an IP reputation system that causes IP addresses to be labeled as \"\"malicious\"\" if they ever send spam to a select set of diagnostic machines that are not normally in use. Cloud Flare has not described the nature of the IP reputation systems they use in any detail.2) External research has found that Cloud Flare blocks at least 80% of Tor IP addresses, and this number has been steadily increasing over time.3) That same study found that it typically took 30 days for an event to happen that caused a Tor IP address to acquire a bad reputation and become blocked, but once it happens, innocent users continued to be punished for it for the duration of the study.4) That study also showed a disturbing increase over time in how many IP addresses Cloud Flare blocked without removal. Cloud Flare's approach to blocking abusive traffic is incurring a large amount of false positives in the form of impeding normal traffic, thereby damaging the experience of many innocent Tor and non-Tor Internet users, as well as impacting the revenue streams of Cloud Flare's own customers by causing frustrated or blocked users to go elsewhere.5) A report by Cloud Flare competitor Akamai found that the percentage of legitimate e-commerce traffic originating from Tor IP addresses is nearly identical to that originating from the Internet at large.

ADSL is standard, but VDSL has started growing quickly. ADSL commonly offers speeds of 3 Mbit/s to 8 Mbit/s, with VDSL accordingly faster. The large proportion of South Korea's population living in apartment blocks helps the spread of DSL, as does a high penetration of consumer electronics in general. Many apartment buildings in built-up metropolitan areas, such as Seoul and Incheon, have speeds of up to 100 Mbit/s. VDSL is commonly found in newer apartments while ADSL is normally found in landed properties where the telephone exchange is far away."

CMS created the new modifiers to be used to report greater specificity in situations where modifier 59 was previously reported. CMS refers to these modifiers as -X {EPSU}, which are more specific version of modifier 59. Modifier 59 should not be used when one of the -X {EPSU} modifiers describes the reason for the distinct procedural service. It is not appropriate to bill both modifier 59 and a -X {EPSU} modifier on the same line NOTE: Per CPT Manual, modifier 59 should not be appended to an E/M service. This coding guideline also applies when billing -X {EPSU} modifiers. Modifier Code XEThis modifier is used to identify \"\"separate encounter, a service that is distinct because it occurred during a separate encounter\"\". Example A physician performs a cardiovascular stress test and also performs and rhythm ECG at a different encounter from the cardiovascular stress test on the same day. Modifier Code XPThis modifier is used to identify \"\"separate practitioner, a service that is distinct because it was performed by a different practitioner\"\".

"text": "Brute Force Attacks Sometimes referred to as password cracking, brute force attacks are typically carried out to discover log-in credentials and gain access to websites for the purposes of data theft, vandalism, or the distribution of malware, which in turn can be used to launch brute force, DDo S and various types of cyber attacks on other targets. Even without successfully penetrating an online property, brute force attacks can flood servers with traffic, resulting in significant performance issues for the site under attack. Why Brute Force Attacks Are Difficult to Detect and Block Resembling legitimate network traffic, brute force attacks and other types of stealth cyber attacks that target HTTP can be difficult to detect and block with standard network security tools like firewalls and intrusion detection systems. This makes defending against this type of threat a challenge for organizations that rely solely on perimeter-based security solutions. Some basic measures that can be implemented to inhibit brute force attacks include: using a CAPTCHA program to prevent automated attacks, instating rules requiring the use of strong passwords, introducing a delay between log-in attempts, or using VPNs to establish an encrypted tunnel. An IPSec VPN in particular can help prevent brute force attacks as well as Man-in-the-Middle attacks, the BREACH attack, and other threats that exploit website vulnerabilities. Finally, vulnerability management tools and scanners can assist in identifying and fixing potential vulnerabilities in your web applications. The Best Defense Against Brute Force Attacks Is a Cloud-based Defense Encouraged by the recent publicity around hacker groups such as the Syrian Electronic Army and Anonymous, hacktivism is on the rise. And, as the hacker toolkit evolves and expands, brute force attacks become just one of many threats with which enterprises now have to be concerned. Today's cyber attackers carry out sophisticated, highly distributed attacks that are well organized and multi-vectored—making information security more complex and costly than ever."

AT&T (t, -1.40%) claims to have “the nation’s fastest mobile broadband network.” Verizon (vz, -1.28%) Wireless says it has the “best network.” And Sprint Nextel (s, +1.00%) brags that its early rollout of “4G” technology gives it “industry-leading mobile data services. ”In fact, there’s not a lot of real-world difference between the three, according data in a new report from Akamai (akam, -0.52%). An Akamai survey based on a huge number of wireless downloads toted up the speeds of the big three U. S. carriers and found barely a dime’s worth of difference in the three networks’ average and peak download speeds. Mobile download speeds in the third quarter of 2010 averaged 1 megabit per second on the big three U. S. mobile networks.

As far as the best connections in the nation, the cloud optimization services provider found that Delaware has the fastest speeds. I emailed questions about the report to David Belson, Akamai’s Director of Market Intelligence. Here are his responses: Forbes: Why is the U. S. so low on the list? Belson: There are two main reasons why the US is comparatively low in terms of global Internet connection speeds: The first reason is a comparatively lower investment in broadband infrastructure in the US, as compared to many Asian nations such as South Korea and Japan, whose cities tend to dominate the list.

In computing, a denial-of-service attack ( Do S attack) is a cyber-attack in which the perpetrator seeks to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users by temporarily or indefinitely disrupting services of a host connected to the Internet. Denial of service is typically accomplished by flooding the targeted machine or resource with superfluous requests in an attempt to overload systems and prevent some or all legitimate requests from being fulfilled. [ 1]In a distributed denial-of-service attack ( DDo S attack ), the incoming traffic flooding the victim originates from many different sources. This effectively makes it impossible to stop the attack simply by blocking a single source. A Do S or DDo S attack is analogous to a group of people crowding the entry door of a shop, making it hard for legitimate customers to enter, disrupting trade."

Re: wide body jets to the islands Jul 25, 2011, 1:12 AMHere's the answer: $$$. They fly the smallest jets possible to save on fuel and open seats. They can easily fill a 757 but if they use a 777 and have dozens of open seats they lose lots of money. They have it down to a science. I remember the days of flying 747's to Hawaii from SFO, a few of those flights were only half full."

Thanks alot :)Kyle 2011/11/05There has been a recent plague around the internet with a known malware bundle, a Fake System Restore (fakesysdef) program that runs a rootkit compliment (sirefef and Alureon). This bundle uses an exploit in Akamai to download its files onto your computer when you visit a compromised website. Akamai is commonly installed as part of Adobe Flash as a background operation, and possibly Java as well, although I am uncertain of this, so your computer does not immediately recognize that there are suspicious files being downloaded. Individuals who have begun to notice suspicious usage of netsession_win.exe should be aware that they may have malicious rootkits installed on their computer, and should take appropriate action in quarantining and deleting these files. Stay safe, and try to limit your visits to the more shady parts of the internet during these coming weeks. Tru Xter 2011/11/05Kyle Do you have any references for these claims ?

"text": "\"How Doctors Use Albumin Test Level Results for Medical Diagnosiswritten by: Vasanth•edited by: Emma Lloyd•updated: 7/7/2010The albumin blood test measures the amount of albumin in the blood serum. It can be used to evaluate how well the liver and kidneys are functioning. Low levels can indicate liver damage, while high levels indicate dehydration. Purpose The albumin blood test is ordered when signs of liver disease or kidney disease are present. This includes symptoms such as weight loss, fatigue, jaundice and swelling of the eyes, legs or stomach. The albumin blood test can also help monitor a person's nutritional profile while on restricted diets. It can help identify protein deficiencies and malnutrition, usually in combination with another blood test called the prealbumin test. What Does the Test Measure? The blood test for albumin measures the level of albumin in the liquid portion of the blood, also known as the blood serum. Albumin is a soluble protein that is responsible for transporting certain molecules throughout the body, including hormones, vitamins, drugs and ions."

The most abundant protein component of blood, produced primarily in the liver, albumin helps to keep the fluid portion of blood within the vessels, and helps transport drugs and other substances by way of the bloodstream. Low levels of albumin in the blood or its presence in urine may signal edema (the accumulation of fluid) as in pedal edema (in the ankles) or pulmonary edema (in the lungs), which may be symptoms of congestive heart failure, kidney or liver disease. Explanation & Suggested Support Support Sun Chlorella It increase the level of albumin Milk Thistle Combination It strengthens the liver KB-CIt strengthens the kidneys What does albumin do? Albumin performs many functions including maintaining the \"\"osmotic pressure\"\" that causes fluid to remain within the blood stream instead of leaking out into the tissues. What diseases cause albumin to be too low? Liver disease, kidney disease, and malnutrition are the major causes of low albumin. A diseased liver produces insufficient albumin. Diseased kidneys sometimes lose large amounts of albumin into the urine faster than the liver can produce it (this is termed nephrotic syndrome). In malnutrition there is not enough protein in the patient's diet for the liver to make new albumin from."

The results of laboratory tests on a patient are compared to reference ranges established by measuring the laboratory parameters in a group of normal animals. The reference ranges for each laboratory test differ between laboratories and across species. Be careful interpreting laboratory tests. An occasional animal will have a value for a laboratory test that falls outside the reference range, but the value may still be normal for that animal. Your veterinarian will interpret laboratory tests in light of the entire evaluation of your pet. Sometimes laboratory tests need to be repeated to evaluate trends, which may provide more information than measurement of a single test.

Sometimes this abnormality is purely an incidental finding, but often patients are sick (thus explaining why the blood test was performed in the first place). A proactive approach to determine the cause of an abnormal albumin result is recommended, and below I discuss some of the major causes of this derangement. Happy reading!Albumin – What is it? Albumin is the body’s major protein that is made in the liver. Measurement helps a veterinarian indirectly assess a patient’s health, particularly kidney and liver function, as well as nutritional status. Albumin has several important jobs, including transporting a plethora of molecules (i.e. : calcium, bilirubin, various drugs) throughout the body and helping keep fluid from leaking out of blood vessels into other tissues. Albumin – Why does it become low? I like to keep things simple as much as possible, especially when thinking about complicated metabolic processes. There are multiple potential causes of low albumin in dogs and cats, but in general most can be categorized into one of three groups: Inadequate formation in the liver Loss through the kidneys Loss through the gastrointestinal tract As I mentioned earlier, albumin is made in the liver."

March 11, 2011This blog is in response to a reader question about the symptoms of kidney disease that we received about our blog, \"\"With diabetes, kidney care is crucial. \"\" In some people with diabetes, over time, high blood glucose levels can damage the millions of tiny blood vessels that filter waste from the blood and dispose of it in the urine. Unfortunately, early kidney disease has no symptoms. Generally, not until the damage is extensive do symptoms emerge. Symptoms of advanced kidney disease include: Swelling of ankles, feet and hands Shortness of breath High blood pressure Confusion or difficulty Poor appetite Nausea and vomiting Dry, itchy skin Fatigue To identify kidney problems early, an important part of your yearly diabetes management checkup is getting what's called a urine microalbumin test. This test measures the amount of a protein, albumin, in your urine. When kidneys are functioning normally, they filter out only waste in your blood, excreted in your urine. Protein and other helpful substances remain in your bloodstream. When your kidneys become damaged, waste products remain in your blood, and albumin leaks into your urine. When your kidneys are in early distress, only small amounts of albumin escape into the bloodstream."

Although the two main proteins are albumin and globulin, albumin is the major protein found in blood plasma. Produced in the liver, albumin has many functions in the body, including the transportation of substances such as hormones and medications, according to Medline Plus. Reasons vary for low albumin and total protein levels in your blood. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Liver Diseases A total protein test and an albumin serum test can measure the amounts of blood proteins. Total protein tests measure your ratio of albumin to globulin, and albumin serum tests are ordered by your doctor when you have symptoms such as edema. While the normal range level for total protein can be between 6.0 and 8.3 g/d L, the albumin normal level can range between 3.4 to 5.4 g/d L, according to Medline Plus. A blood test that shows low levels of albumin can be an indication of liver damage or disease. Liver dysfunction associated with decreased albumin levels includes diseases such as hepatitis. Ascites or swelling of your abdomen may develop if you have low albumin associated with liver disease, according to chemocare.com."

The test Common questions Related information At a glance Also known as24 hour urine protein; urine total protein; urine protein to creatinine ratio Why get tested? To detect excessive protein escaping into the urine, to help evaluate and monitor kidney function, and to detect kidney damage When to get tested? As part of a routine check-up, as a follow-up to a previous positive urine protein test, or if you have a disorder or disease that frequently affects the kidney Sample required? A random or 24-hour urine sample; occasionally a split 24-hour sample, with the night collection separated from the day collection What is being tested? The urine protein test measures the amount of protein being excreted in the urine. There are several different kinds of urine protein tests. A semi-quantitative protein ‘dipstick’ is frequently performed as part of a urinalysis, generally on a random urine sample. The quantity of protein in a 24-hour urine sample may be measured and reported as the amount of protein excreted per 24 hours. Also, the amount of protein in a random urine sample may be measured and reported as the ratio of protein to creatinine."

"text": "My child was prescribed albuterol. What should I know about it? January 16, 2017In healthy kids, the bronchial tubes are open and relaxed, allowing air to move in and out easily. Sometimes, as part of an illness, the muscle around the bronchial tubes reacts by squeezing tight, making the airways, smaller. It’s harder to get air in and out, so kids will begin to make a wheezing sound when they breathe. They will cough more as they try to force air through small “pipes. ”Albuterol is a medication that is used as a bronchodilator -- it opens up tight airway passages by relaxing the muscle that surrounds the airways. Albuterol is used most commonly for asthma, but it is sometimes prescribed for other conditions too. How long will my child need the albuterol? In general, your child may need some albuterol as long as the wheezing trigger lasts."

"text": "Albuterol Nebulized Treatmentsby DOUG HEWITT Aug. 14, 2017Albuterol is a medication called a bronchodilator. It is used in the treatment of asthma by relaxing the muscles that surround the airways, allowing them to open up more and make breathing easier. The effects of albuterol occur within minutes and typically last for four to six hours. Albuterol used in a nebulizer comes in a liquid form. The nebulizer turns the liquid in a fine mist, which is breathed in. This type of treatment allows for medication to reach the problems areas of asthma, namely the breathing passageways, quickly. Albuterol nebulizers are used three to four times per day, according to the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists. Albuterol is a medication that treats the symptoms of asthma, but it is not a cure. It should be taken as directed by the prescribing physician. Treatments should not be stopped unless directed to do so by a physician, even if the symptoms clear up."

"text": "This is the Swiss Army Knife of control boards. While building the kilowatt 2 meter LDMOS amplifier, I thought it would be nice to add a couple of extra functions I usually didn't include in my own amplifiers...a high-temperature lockout in case the amp ever gets too hot, as well as a way to block RF drive while the antenna relay (s) switch over (this protects the input relay). My regular control board ( version 5) didn't have these extra features, so I made a couple smaller boards to go along with it to add these things in. These extras worked very well, so it seemed logical to add them into the next revision (this is version 6). Here's the complete feature set for this rev: On-board sequencer for control of antenna relays, amplifier bias and power supply feeds, and driver RF hold-off High VSWR lockout that will accept either a negative or a positive trigger signal High temperature lockout that will bypass an overheated amplifier until it cools down to a safe temperature Temperature-sensitive fan control for normal cooling Driver RF blocking during antenna relay changeovers Internal regulator, which allows operation from power sources ranging from 12v to 50v LED indicator feeds for power, transmit, SWR lock and High Temperature lock Can be used as a controller for a mast-mounted LNAThere's a lot going on there, so let's examine how these features are implemented, one function at a time: The Sequencer The sequencer controls the timing of almost all control board functions; the typical timing for an amplifier control circuit goes like this: upon receiving the transmit command from the driver (PTT), do the following: Event 1 - While holding off RF output from the driver, switch the antenna relays over, and turn on the cooling fan (s)Event 2 - 50 milliseconds after event 1, turn on amplifier bias and/or enable main power to the amplifier Event 3 - 50 milliseconds after event 2, enable RF output from the driver Upon switching back to receive, these events are performed in reverse order, spaced apart briefly in time (50ms). The circuit that does this is fairly straightforward; the PTT signal turns on a voltage that charges capacitor C10 through resistor VR3, creating a voltage ramp. A comparator IC reads this ramp-up, and the individual gates switch on each event at a different voltage. When PTT is released, C10 discharges, allowing each event to switch off at it's preset ramp voltage. The time interval between events is adjustable via the setting of VR3, the timing trimmer. The circuit board LEDs (D14,15 and 17) give a visual indication of event timing (they switch on or off with each event)."

Some descriptive license has been taken in order to simplify and clarify the descriptions contained in the National Council on Compensation Insurance Scopes Manual. These are basic guidelines - keep in mind various duties can vary from member to member. Code 0917: Homemakers Applicable to employers furnishing employees under contract for domestic service performed inside customer’s residence and includes operation of training schools. Code 0917 is applicable to insured’s engaged in furnishing inside domestic workers such as, housekeeping, laundry worker, maid, companion or cook. Code 0917 is distinguished from 8835, in that code 8835 contemplates providing home help service (including companion services) and/or physical assistance in daily living to persons who are convalescent, aged, acutely or chronically ill or disabled. If an employee is providing services to individuals that would be classified under both Code 8835 and 0917, accurate payroll records must be maintained, clearly showing the payroll division between the two class codes. Otherwise, the employee’s total payroll will be allocated to the higher rated code (0917). This revised description for class code 0917 will be available for use on new or renewal policies with effective dates of March 1, 2007 forward. Code 7370: Ambulance Service Companies Classification applies to ambulance companies not operated by hospitals providing emergency services."

Moose are distinguished by the broad, flat (or palmate) antlers of the males; other members of the family have antlers with a dendritic (\"\"twig-like\"\") configuration. Moose typically inhabit boreal forests and temperate broadleaf and mixed forests of the Northern Hemisphere in temperate to subarctic climates. Hunting and other human activities have caused a reduction in the size of the moose's range over time. Moose have been reintroduced to some of their former habitats. Currently, most moose are found in Canada, Alaska, New England, Fennoscandia, Baltic states, and Russia. Their diet consists of both terrestrial and aquatic vegetation."

One test you can use to see if your writing meets this element is to ask yourself, “What information would I keep if I had to get rid of all the rest?” If your writing begins with the answer to this question, then you have met the criteria. Packaging The second element of effective Army writing is packaging. Packaging is the general framework of the writing style. Packaging consists of the following requirements: •Open with a short, clear purpose sentence; •Place the recommendation, conclusion, or most important information (the main point) next."

The Basic Noncommissioned Officer Course (BNCOC) and the Advanced Noncommissioned Officer Course (ANCOC) provide leadership training to mid-career noncommissioned officers (NCO). The BNCOC is designed for staff sergeants with 8 to 10 years of service. The ANCOC is geared toward sergeants first class, with 10 to 14 years of service. Both courses are currently under transformation in order to accelerate development of the Army's enlisted Soldiers by migrating tasks down and training Soldiers earlier. The Advanced Leader's Course (ALC) will replace BNCOC, and the Senior Leader's Course (SLC) will replace ANCOC. On September 15, 2007, the Chief of Staff of the Army authorized the development of a Structured Self-Development Program (SSD) for NCOs. Under this plan, Soldiers will complete up to 80 hours of distributed learning instruction during the period between resident courses. The instruction contained in SSD will supplement residential institutional and unit training and will also cover topics not trained in another domain. Content for the ALC will include content required for success at both the squad and platoon level and will include relevant parts of the current ANCOC."

"text": "Implementing Lean Six Sigma Categorized in: Six Sigma News What do these three organizations, and numerous others, have in common? They’ve all implemented Lean, Six Sigma and similar initiatives and programs to improve efficiency, productivity and quality. The results often are stunning, but they do come at a price, which few people are willing to discuss, and require much more than a short-term commitment from management and labor. Collins Aviation Services (CAS), a division of Rockwell Collins, began its lean journey in 1999, when TAT to repair a standard avionics box was a pathetic 22 days, with only six of those days spent on direct repair. That was unacceptable if CAS expected to compete in the highly competitive maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) business, remembered Harry Gregory, vice president and general manager. Following the implementation of Lean principles, the TAT for most repairs of radios, radars and displays dropped to just more than four days. United Services, the maintenance division of United Airlines, began implementing Lean solutions in late 2004, initially attacking eight areas of inefficiency, including how far a part travels before it’s repaired. United reduced the distance that landing gear traveled from 20,000 feet to just 3,500 feet. As a result of this and other Lean initiatives, the TAT for landing gear went from 70 days to 35. United Services has since begun the Lean transformation process for repairing Pratt & Whitney PW4000 power plants and hopes to save $90 million in MRO-related expenses by the end of 2006."

"text": "Alcohol by Volume (ABV)Definition - What does Alcohol by Volume (ABV)mean? Alcohol by volume (ABV) is a standard unit of measure for the amount of alcohol present in a given volume of any alcoholic beverage, and it varies depending on the alcoholic beverage. ABV uses the quantity of pure ethanol, measured in millimeters at the temperature of 20 degrees celsius standardized by content in a 100-millimeter solution. Typically the ABV in wine ranges from 12.5% to 14.5%. However, some fortified wines can reach close to 20% ABV. Wine Frog explains Alcohol by Volume (ABV)During the wine making process, yeast is required, and a sugary solution is added to yeast. As the wine undergoes fermentation, the sugar is absorbed by the yeast. This process creates the alcohol content in wine. During the wine making process, the density of sugar is greater than the density of alcohol in water, and this determines the specific gravity (SG) of the solution. The ABV in the solution can be closely estimated based on the measurement of SG of the solution before and after fermentation."

"text": "\"How to Drink More Wine (Smartly and Healthfully)Tolerance diminishes with age, but you can fight back By Thomas Pellechia July 10, 2012When it comes to healthy eating and lifestyle guidelines, there’s a lot of conflicting advice out there. One generally accepted source is the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, published every five years by the U. S. Departments of Agriculture and Health and Human Services and compiled with input from leading nutrition and health experts. Much of those recommendations relate to food and supplements, but alcohol is included. While some studies suggest that red wine may bestow certain health benefits (e.g., increases in the “good” HDL cholesterol, decreases in the omega-6/omega-3 ratio), innumerable ones have shown an association between alcohol consumption and increased risk for certain types of cancer. As a result, the government guidelines recommend “moderate drinking,” which they define as one drink a day for most women and two drinks a day for most men. It doesn’t matter what kind of alcohol: 12 ounces of regular beer (about 6 percent alcohol by volume), 1.5 ounces of 80-proof spirits (like vodka or whiskey) and 5 ounces of wine (12 percent alcohol by volume) all equal one “drink. ”For people the world over, myself included, wine is one of life’s great pleasures. But over the years, many of us start to notice that our tolerance for wine changes. Perhaps it takes fewer sips to make us feel tipsy or drowsy. Or we wake up with a raging headache."

The MCV blood test shows the average size of your red blood cells. Red blood cells (RBCs) play an important function in transporting oxygen and nutrients to tissue. Red blood cells that are too large or too small can be an indicator of an underlying medical condition. That is why doctors will check the average size of your red blood cells. Advertisement If the MCV results in a blood test show that the red blood cell volume is too low, this could be a sign of iron deficiency anemia, chronic blood loss, or a blood disorder. If the mean corpuscular blood cell volume is too high, then it could be a symptom of a vitamin B deficiency, excess alcohol consumption, problems with your liver function, or an underactive thyroid. Certain medications can also cause high MCV levels. The readings from a CBC (complete blood count) blood test that include the average volume of red blood cells can help doctors diagnose various diseases and illnesses.

How many drinks is that? ) DUI DUI defense DUI and civil lawsuits Show 3 more BAC Blood Alcohol Concentration Levels Overview & Explaination for Austin DWI Arrests Blood alcohol concentration levels, or BAC, is a number typically expressed in a percentage that references the concentration of alcohol within the blood stream. Since alcohol is dissolved evenly in the fluids of the body, rather than body fat, a high level or concentration of alcohol within the body, specifically the blood stream, will begin to affect motor skills and thought reflexes. The higher the concentration of alcohol in the blood stream, the more a person will be affected. Early studies into the way alcohol is absorbed into the body and blood alcohol concentration levels were conducted in a series of research experiments by Widmark, who devised a basic formula for calculating BAC, Blood Alcohol Concentration. The formula is still widely used by lab technnitions for the district attorney's office who testify as expert witnesses at DWI Jury Trials. The Widmark Formula can be expressed in a long or short form. Many so called expert witnesses attempt to only use the short form, which can lead to inaccuracies in the calculation; even the long form of Widmark's formula is not 100% accurate, and should only be used as a guide rather than hard science or fact. The Basic Widmark Formula is as follows: %BAC = (A x 5.14 / W x r) - .015 x H\"\"A\"\" is the total number of ounces of alcohol ingested by the individual starting at the first drink. \"\""

"text": "\"Food & Drink Beer, Wine & Spirits What does it mean when it says % alcohol by volume? What percentage of alcohol can be in a drink before it becomes \"\"a lot\"\"? Follow 10 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: It means exactly what it says. If you could split the liquid into pure alcohol in one container and the remaining non-alcohol liquid into another container then you would find that the alcohol portion occupies the volume of the given percentage of the total liquor. So 20% by volume is 1 part alcohol by volume and 4 parts non-alcohol by volume. Liquor that is approximately 50% or more by volume is flammable. It used to be considered \"\"proof\"\" of the alcohol content if you could light it on fire. Thus 50% by volume became 100 proof. The proof is always 2x the percent by volume of alcohol. Off the top of my head (may not be exact) Beer ranges from about 3% to 9% (in most cases) Wine can gets up to around 15% or so Most liquors are much higher than this ranging around 35-40% Some liquors are MUCH higher such as Bacardi 151 which is as the name implies 151 proof or about 75% and Everclear which is something like 95%."

You have some container with 12oz of a liquid which has 5% of its volume as ethanol (the alcohol in beer wine and liquor). You have its total volume and the percent of the total volume which is alcohol. You simply multiply together, 12*0.05 = 0.6oz alcohol. Same with the liquor."

"text": "\"Scotch Whiskey Liquor and Spirits Alcohol Consumption Alcohol Is Crown Royal bourbon whiskey or scotch whiskey?6 Answers Lamar Romero, Elite marketer and evangelist of distilled spirits Answered Aug 31, 2015 Neither. Crown Royal is a blended Canadian whisky owned by Diageo, which purchased it when the Seagram portfolio was dissolved in 2000. It is the top-selling Canadian whisky in the United States. From Wikipedia: The Federal Standards of Identity for Distilled Spirits ( 27 C. F. R. 5) state that bourbon made for U. S. consumption [17] must be: Produced in the United States [18]Made from a grain mixture that is at least 51% corn [18]Aged in new, charred oak barrels [18]Distilled to no more than 160 (U. S.) proof (80% alcohol by volume) [18]Entered into the barrel for aging at no more than 125 proof (62.5% alcohol by volume) [18]Bottled (like other whiskeys) at 80 proof or more (40% alcohol by volume) [19]There are two basic types of Scotch whisky, from which all blends are made: Single malt Scotch whisky means a Scotch whisky produced from only water and malted barley at a single distillery by batch distillation in pot stills. [ 3]Single grain Scotch whisky means a Scotch whisky distilled at a single distillery but, in addition to water and malted barley, may involve whole grains of other malted or unmalted cereals. \"\" Single grain\"\" does not mean that only a single type of grain was used to produce the whisky—rather, the adjective \"\"single\"\" refers only to the use of a single distillery (and making a \"\"single grain\"\" requires using a mixture of grains, as barley is a type of grain and some malted barley must be used in all Scotch whisky). Excluded from the definition of \"\"single grain Scotch whisky\"\" is any spirit that qualifies as a single malt Scotch whisky or as a blended Scotch whisky. The latter exclusion is to ensure that a blended Scotch whisky produced from single malt (s) and single grain (s) distilled at the same distillery does not also qualify as single grain Scotch whisky. Three types of blends are defined for Scotch whisky: Blended malt Scotch whisky means a blend of two or more single malt Scotch whiskies from different distilleries. Blended grain Scotch whisky means a blend of two or more single grain Scotch whiskies from different distilleries."

"text": "Beer Basics Beer Beer 101: All About Alcohol by Volume (ABV)By Bryce Eddings Updated 03/23/18Share Pin Email Tetra Images / Getty Images Alcohol by volume, or ABV, is used to measure the alcohol content of beer, wine, distilled spirits, and other alcoholic beverages. Beers typically fall in the 3.0-13.0% ABV range, though some can be weaker or stronger than this. What Is the Average ABV of Alcohol? Every alcoholic beverage is required to have the alcohol by volume on its label. Typically abbreviated ABV and given as a percentage, this measurement will tell you how much alcohol is in the drink. Each style of alcohol has a certain ABV range though some products can fall outside these averages: Beer: 3-13% ABVWine: 8-14% ABVLiquor: 15-50% ABVIt's important to note that 'proof' is only used with distilled spirits in the U. S. It is calculated by doubling a liquor's ABV. ABV and Beer The ABV will tell you how many ounces of actual alcohol are in the beverage. For example, if a 12-ounce bottle of beer is 5.0% alcohol, that means that 0.6 ounces of pure alcohol are in that beer. The equation looks like this: 12 x 0.05 = 0.6Most beer will fall in that 3-13% ABV range. There are low-alcohol beers such as O'Doul's that have 0.5% ABV (sorry, it's not truly non-alcoholic!)"

"text": "\"Panagiotes Koutelidakes, studied at Brewing Updated Jan 1, 2018 · Author has 409 answers and 963.5k answer views First of all, alcoholic content is typically given in percentage by volume; this is a simple enough measure: it tells you how much pure alcohol there is in a volume of the product. For instance, 10% ABV (also written 10% vol. and 10° et cetera) means that there are 10 volumetric units of pure ethanol in 100 equal units of the drink in question. The USA standard of \"\"x-proof\"\" is exactly double that (e.g. 10% ABV equals exactly 20-proof.) ( N. B.: This is not the same as stating there is a total of exactly 90 volumetric units of all the other ingredients of the drink in question; there are a few reasons for this, but just keep that at all times in mind, because it is a little counter-intuitive at first.) Typical values are as follows: Whisky:40%Beer:anywhere between 3% to 6% for most beers, but can range much higher and industrially made with even less alcohol through reverse osmosis. Wine:anywhere between 11% to 13% for most wines; can range between 9% to 15% or 16% naturally, and some wines have added alcohol to them, because as a product they have a whole different character (all such wines are sweet and are either very aromatic anyway or aromatized with herbs). The effect of drinking them vary significantly due to these factors: Quantity and rate of consumption: the more and faster you drink, the more alcohol your body has to handle, thereby the more intoxicated you get. Alcoholic content: contrary to common belief, while any specific quantity of alcohol has the same overall effect on your body regardless of other details, provided they are the same, the fact that a drink differs from another can and does affect your intoxication. Simply put, drinks that have lots of water (thus smaller alcoholic content) cannot get you as intoxicated as any of stronger drink (assuming equal amounts of pure ethanol), because the amount of water consumed contributes positively towards minimizing intoxication."

When harm to self and others is summed, alcohol was the most harmful of all drugs considered, scoring 72%. The short-term effects of alcohol (also known formally as ethanol) consumption–due to drinking beer, wine, distilled spirits or other alcoholic beverages –range from a decrease in anxiety and motor skills and euphoria at lower doses to intoxication (drunkenness), stupor, unconsciousness, anterograde amnesia (memory \"\"blackouts\"\"), and central nervous system depression at higher doses. Cell membranes are highly permeable to alcohol, so once alcohol is in the bloodstream it can diffuse into nearly every cell in the body. The concentration of alcohol in blood is measured via blood alcohol content (BAC). The amount and circumstances of consumption play a large part in determining the extent of intoxication; for example, eating a heavy meal before alcohol consumption causes alcohol to absorb more slowly. [ 1] The amount of alcohol consumed largely determines the extent of hangovers, although hydration also plays a role. After excessive drinking, stupor and unconsciousness can occur. Extreme levels of consumption can lead to alcohol poisoning and death (a concentration in the blood stream of 0.40% will kill half of those affected [2] [3] ). Alcohol may also cause death indirectly, by asphyxiation from vomit."

"text": "Does Carbonated Water Hydrate You? Posted by Gabrielle Marks in Water ANSWER: Carbonated water is merely water with carbonation added and is just as hydrating as water without carbonation. How Is Carbonated Water Made? Carbonated water is produced by dissolving highly pressurized carbon dioxide in plain water. The process excludes surrounding air from contaminating the water. This pressurized compound is quickly sealed to discourage the carbonation from escaping. When the container is opened and the pressure is released, the carbon dioxide is released and presents itself as small bubbles, the effect of which causes the water to become “fizzy”. This process does not add calories or alter the hydrating effects to the original water that was carbonated. That does not mean that all carbonated water beverages are created equal.

Answer by Weedimo Confidence votes 174ADH works to reabsorb water from the lumen of the collecting ducts in the kidneys back into the interstitial space. As a result, high levels of ADH will result in higher concentrations of aquaporin-2 on the luminal membrane, allowing for H2O reabsorption in the otherwise-H2O-impermeable collecting ducts. As a result, the urine will be more highly concentrated due to the loss of water (back into the blood), reaching an osmolarity of around 1400 m Osm maximum. In dehydration, ADH levels are high (enables the body to retain more water) and in over-hydration, ADH levels are low (no need for the body to retain water, hence increased micturition)3 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

"text": "\"The Porter Knows Prev NEXTHypothalamus and Pituitary Gland The hypothalamus is an area of the brain that controls and influences many automatic functions of the brain through actions on the medulla, and coordinates many chemical or endocrine functions (secretions of sex, thyroid and growth hormones) through chemical and nerve impulse actions on the pituitary gland. Alcohol has two noticeable effects on the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, which influence sexual behavior and urinary excretion. Alcohol depresses the nerve centers in the hypothalamus that control sexual arousal and performance. As BAC increases, sexual behavior increases, but sexual performance declines. This observation has been known for a long time, and is referred to by William Shakespeare in \"\"Macbeth\"\" (Act 2 scene 3): Macduff: What three things does drink especially promote? Porter: Marry sir, nose-painting, sleep, and urine. Lechery, sir it provokes, and unprovokes; it provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance... The porter in the above excerpt also notes the effect of alcohol on urine excretion. Alcohol inhibits the pituitary secretion of anti-diuretic hormone ( ADH ), which acts on the kidney to reabsorb water. Alcohol acts on the hypothalamus/pituitary to reduce the circulating levels of ADH. When ADH levels drop, the kidneys do not reabsorb as much water; consequently, the kidneys produce more urine.1 2 … 10 … 13 14 NEXTPrint | Citation & Date | Reprint More to Explore Related Content How Nicotine Works How Medical Marijuana Works What is Avogadro’s number? \""

"text": "The secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also called vasopressin, occurs in the pituitary gland of the brain and keeps water in the bloodstream. The main factors affecting its release are a reduction in the amount of water in the plasma and an increase in the number of solid molecules, like sugar and salt, in the bloodstream. ADH works partly by causing the kidneys to reabsorb water rather than to excrete it as urine. When this process is impaired, diabetes insipidus results. Vasopressin is a peptide hormone that regulates the reabsorption of water and salts in humans and other mammals. In the kidneys, it controls changes in the permeability of the tubules in order to prevent the excretion of salts and glucose. The manufacture and secretion of antidiuretic hormone occurs in the posterior pituitary gland of the brain, where it is one of only two hormones released, the other being oxytocin. ADH is secreted whenever the body becomes hypovolemic from significant fluid loss. Ad When a decrease in blood plasma osmolarity, a marker of water loss, is detected by receptors in the blood vessels, they send signals to the brainstem's medulla. Here nerves relay the information to the hypothalamus, which controls pituitary secretion of hormones."

Rennie, LPNThe functions of the kidneys are to filter the blood (a healthy kidney and can filter around 200 quarts a day 1 ), removing anything not needed by the body and conserve or dispose of excess water and control the body's solute balance. This excess water - urine - carries out all unwanted or no longer needed materials from the body. Waste and water are removed from the blood drops at a time.

Alcohol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as primary alcohols. It is chemically known by other names such as ethanol; ethyl alcohol; methylcarbinol; grain alcohol; ethyl hydroxide. Ethanol (alcohol) is a naturally occurring byproduct of the yeast metabolism and can also be commonly found in overripe fruit. Pure alcohol (Ethanol) was first discovered by Iranian/Persian alchemist named Muhammad ibn Zakariya al-Razi during wine distillation. Alcohol is normally produced by the fermentation process, and also by distillation of various fruits, vegetables or grains. Fermented beverages such as beer and wine possess maximum alcohol content (about 15 per cent)."

Here we propose to get to the bottom of the chemical consequences of a night of celebrating to excess.2.1 Ethanol Metabolism Ethanol (CH 3 CH 2 OH) is oxidized in the liver to acetaldehyde (CH 3 CHO, ethanal), which in a second step is further oxidized to acetic acid (CH 3 COOH, ethanoic acid) (Fig. 2). The acetic acid is ultimately broken down to carbon dioxide and water in the citric acid cycle [3]. In the process, ethanol supplies a considerable amount of energy: 450 kcal/100g, a value between those of glucose (400 kcal/100g) and fat (930 kcal/100g). Alcoholic beverages must therefore be classed among the foodstuffs. Figure 2. Ethanol metabolism in the body. Metabolic Step 1Ethanol ⇒ Acetaldehyde In the first step, ethanol is oxidized in cells of the liver to acetaldehyde, with NAD + (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) as oxidizing agent. This reaction is catalyzed by alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) enzymes [4], of which the human body has many available."

D., is director, Division of Metabolism and Health Effects, National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, Bethesda, Maryland. A lcohol is eliminated from the body by various metabolic mechanisms. The primary enzymes involved are aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), cytochrome P450 (CYP2E1), and catalase. Variations in the genes for these enzymes have been found to influence alcohol consumption, alcohol-related tissue damage, and alcohol dependence. The consequences of alcohol metabolism include oxygen deficits (i.e., hypoxia) in the liver; interaction between alcohol metabolism byproducts and other cell components, resulting in the formation of harmful compounds (i.e., adducts); formation of highly reactive oxygen-containing molecules (i.e., reactive oxygen species [ROS]) that can damage other cell components; changes in the ratio of NADH to NAD + (i.e., the cell’s redox state); tissue damage; fetal damage; impairment of other metabolic processes; cancer; and medication interactions. Several issues related to alcohol metabolism require further research.

Everything You Need To Know The Morning After Drinking Alcohol Dec 20, 2015 09:00 AM By Dr. John Carrigan Everything you ever wanted to know about a hangover — and why there may never be a cure. Getty Images Share Tweet Share E-mail As another December comes around, the season to be jolly is well and truly here. For many of us, our diaries are filling up with office parties, family reunions, and overdue catch-ups with friends — our bellies are also filling up with mulled wine and eggnog. This means, of course, that it is also time to reacquaint ourselves with that old party pooper: the hangover. It’s somewhat surprising, considering the amount of magazine space given to the problem every December and the array of “cures” on the shelves of your local pharmacy, that the scientific community still can’t pinpoint exactly which component of your tipple is to blame. ( Even though they have given the condition a nicer name than “hangover”: veisalgia . ) Why do some of us wake up in ruins the morning after, even when we stick to “pure” craft beers brewed in the mountains by monks, and fermented using virgins’ tears? How come John from accounts, who practically took up residence in the punchbowl, can bound into the office at 8 a.m. the next day, full of festive cheer? Also, is there a reason why we can shrug off a hangover with our morning coffee in our late teens, but it becomes a week-long event in our 40s?"

The answer to this question is quite simple. Once alcohol enters your bloodstream, it leaves the body by two means:10% of alcohol leaves the body through breath, perspiration and urine Rest of the 90% is broken down in the body. The process of alcohol digestion tends to be a rather direct process. How long does alcohol stay in your system relies more on how much alcohol a person has consumed compared to other factors. If you have had a chance to binge drink or had more than your fair share of alcohol, you can easily remember when it became too much to handle. Both the tissues and blood become a pool of unmetabolized alcohol at a point."

"text": "Post Mortem Introduction Alcohol (ethanol, CH3CH2OH) tops the list of toxic substances encountered in forensic toxicology for the simple reason that heavy drinking and drunkenness are incriminated in many fatal accidents, trauma deaths, suicides, crimes of violence and antisocial behavior in general. Reports from accident and emergency service departments worldwide provide ample evidence to support the negative impact of alcohol abuse and alcoholism in society. The impairment caused by overconsumption of alcoholic beverages explains many accidents in the home, in the workplace and on the roads. Accordingly, measuring and interpreting the concentrations of alcohol in blood and other biological specimens are routine procedures in forensic medicine and toxicology. The existence of threshold limits of blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) for driving a motor vehicle, such as 80 mg 100ml-1 (0.80gl-1) in UK and 50mg 100ml-1 (0.50 gl- 1) in most of the other European nations, means that the results of forensic alcohol analysis have important social and medicolegal ramifications. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of ethanol in postmortem specimens is a relatively simple analytical procedure and with gas chromatographic methods, accurate, precise, and specific results are possible. However, difficulties arise when the concentration of alcohol in a postmortem blood specimen is interpreted and conclusions are drawn about a person’s state of inebriation at the time of death. Translating a BAC determined at autopsy (called necropsy in UK) into the amount of alcohol in the body at the time of death is subject to considerable uncertainty. A major problem associated with postmortem alcohol analysis is the risk that the alcohol, at least in part, was generated or destroyed between the time of death and the time of the autopsy or after taking the specimens and performing the toxicological analysis. This becomes a major dilemma when decomposed bodies are examined and requests are made for alcohol analysis."

The second tub, often in a guest bathroom or used by older children, takes up significant space and–let’s be honest–wastes water when used. If you’re wondering what the typical bathtub to shower conversion cost is, please continue reading. The average tub holds 50 gallons of expensively heated water. A shower, according to Home Water Works, only uses around 17 gallons of water–a significant saving of both water and energy. You may be surprised to learn the cost of converting tub-to-shower isn’t as bad as you might think and considerably less than having a custom shower built from scratch. Tub to Shower Conversion Cost If you are thinking of switching out a bathtub for a shower, you need to consider the bath to shower conversion cost. By the Numbers The experts at Networx peg the cost of a tub to shower conversion between $1,500 and $5,000, with average costs coming in at $3,000. This might strike you as a wide range for something that seems like a simple project. Consider, though, the opportunities that removing a tub provides."

While this process may seem simple at first, you have to remember that many bathtubs are partially hidden under surrounds. A true bathtub measurement will come from measuring the exact space where the bathtub will fit, which may require a little guesswork on your part. Luckily, almost all bathtubs follow a fairly small set of standard measurements, so if you can get within an inch of one of those you should be set. Bathtub dimensions are sometimes determined by the space they are in. Step 1Stand in front of the bathtub, like you were about to get in. If your are measuring a bathtub with multiple entrance points, like a corner unit, simple pick one side. Step 2Measure the distance from the left side of the bathtub to the right. If your bathtub is a stand-alone unit, like a cast iron tub, measure down the middle of the tub so you are measuring the two furthest points. If your bathtub is enclosed in an alcove measure the distance from one end of the alcove to the other."

"text": "5 Cost Effective Bathtub Alcove Remodeling Ideas to Ring in the New Year Written by Mike Foti on January 3, 2014. Posted in Bathroom Remodeling Acrylic bathtub liner and walls in a remodel So 2014 is finally here! If you’re dreaming about remodeling your bath alcove space this year – but don’t have a lot of money to do it check out these 5 cost effective ideas which can transform an ugly bathroom into a space you can really enjoy. Idea 1 – Use an acrylic bathtub liner over an old cast iron or steel tub – Many homes which are 20 to 80 years old have steel and cast iron tubs that might have seen their better days. Chipped tubs and rusted tubs are not uncommon in older homes. A financially efficient way to improve these tubs (without the large cost of a full removal process) is to use an acrylic bathtub liner. These products are custom sized (there are actually over 600 different tub options) and a new an acrylic tub can be made to fit specifically over the old tub. The new acrylic tub also has the benefit of being warmer to the touch, offers slip resistant benefits, and can provide a safer space to bathe the kids as well!2 kids enjoying a new bathtub using an acrylic liner Idea 2 – Apply acrylic wall surrounds in a shower or tub alcove space – If you’ve got tile wall surrounds which require constant regrouting – or just ugly looking walls – adding new decorative acrylic walls can be the answer. If you want to keep costs to a minimum using the plain white walls will be best. Perhaps you want to add more style – if so – then consider going with acrylic faux stone or tile walls which are available in many colors."

"text": "If you are considering remodeling a bathroom or simply replacing a bathtub, it is important to get the correct bathtub dimensions to ensure you buy a replacement tub that is the right size and shape. The process of measuring bathtub dimensions will change slightly according to the type of tub you have and the type of tub you will be installing. If, for example, you own a stand-alone tub such as an iron claw foot tub, you will need to measure differently than if you have a one-piece tub installed into an alcove. Be sure to measure the distance at the longest point of the tub, regardless of the style of tub you own. When measuring a stand-alone unit, you will need to measure the distance between the farthest points to get the correct bathtub dimensions. Many claw foot and stand-alone tubs are rounded or peaked in the center of the tub on each side, so be sure to stand in the tub itself and measure the distance from the peak on one end to the peak on the other. Measure to the outside lip of the tub to make sure you get the most accurate measurement. Remember that if you are replacing the claw foot tub with a different style of tub, you may need to add a few inches to the measurement to get the most accurate idea of available space in the bathroom. The bathtub dimensions of a tub with a surround, or a lip of material that extends around the outside of the tub on either side of the tub, will be measured differently than a stand-alone unit. Measure again from the farthest point to the farthest point, and then add a few inches to account for the surround."

Homeowners in warm climates may also choose to install one or more soaking tubs on a private patio or in a secluded garden area, in lieu of a whirlpool. The old-world charm of a porcelain soaking tub or rustic flair of a cedar-sided bathtub adds a hidden treasure to private backyard getaways. Designed with comfort and relaxation in mind, soaking tubs are a beautiful addition to any home. Tweet Frequently Asked Questions: What styles of soaking tubs are available? From the vintage look of claw-foot or pedestal-style soaking tubs to modern wood and tiled construction, these large bathtubs come in a variety of styles. High-backed, curvy and elongated soaking tubs are traditional. Modern-style homes may be more suited for square and rectangular soaking tubs in a spa-style bathroom, recessed patio or deck. Soaking tubs may be constructed from porcelain, copper, stainless steel, tile or even wood."

"text": "How much does it cost to remodel a bathroom? The bathroom is arguably the most frequently used room in the home. So, if it's out-of-date, not functioning properly, or it's beginning to show signs of wear, such as water leaks, stains, or mold growth, it may be time to remodel. Remodeling a bathroom can recoup you as much as 64% ROI according to Remodeling Magazine, while potentially making the home easier to sell as well. Both Remodeling Magazine and the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) put the average cost of a full-scale bathroom remodel around $18,000 nationally. However, the size of the bathroom is probably the biggest driving force behind the costs, with most bathrooms costing around $125 per square foot installed; the larger the bathroom, the higher the cost. So, while a 150 square foot Master bath will cost closer to $18,000, a small half bath would cost closer to $5,000. The types of materials that you install and the condition of your current bathroom will also play a role in determining your final costs. Remodeling phases Most bathroom remodels will include some degree of layout or planning. Small bathrooms can be planned by a contractor, but larger rooms should involve the work of a bathroom designer to help make the most of the space."

"text": "Topic Improve, By Room,Bedroom & Closet Print article They don’t make closets like they used to. But this is a case where today’s versions are actually better than the old ones. Unless your house is fairly new or has been recently renovated, the closets are probably tiny alcoves with little more than a shelf and a pole or two for organizing your belongings. Whether you’re adding a master suite, remodeling your bedroom, or just outfitting a large existing closet, you have an opportunity to upgrade to a modern walk-in closet that neatly stores all of your clothes gently and accessibly. Expect to pay $3,000 to $10,000 or more for a large, well-outfitted walk-in closet, assuming you hire a pro to build the room as part of your master suite addition, says Castle Rock, Colo., contractor Dean Bennett. Layout and space requirements A walk-in closet should be at least 7 by 10 feet, and preferably 10 by 10 feet if both halves of a couple will be using it, says Bennett. That gives you space to line two or three walls with shelves, cubbies, and poles, and the elbow room to reach them easily. For added convenience, include about 3 by 3 feet of floor space for a chair where you can perch to put on socks and fold laundry. And, if possible, leave enough room in the middle of the closet for setting up a folding luggage table, so you can lay open your suitcase when you’re packing for a trip. Options for storage and organization You could, of course, just move your existing dresser into your new walk-in, but that isn’t the best way to store clothes."

Even the paintings and images commonly used to portray him cannot definitely be said to be of Henry Hudson - they could be of a completely different Elizabethan gentleman. Thomas Janvier, a 19th century Hudson biographer, wrote, \"\"No portrait of Hudson is known to be in existence. What has passed with the uncritical for his portrait — a dapper-looking man wearing a ruffed collar — frequently has been, and continues to be, reproduced. Who that man was is unknown. That he was not Hudson is certain. \"\" Almost everything we know about Hudson and his four voyages in four years comes from just one work: Hakluytus Posthumous or Purchas his Pilgrimes, by the Rev. Samuel Purchas, first published in 1625 (see the page of source materials ). In book III of this sprawling 20-volume set, Puchas reprinted all of the remaining records of Hudson's voyages: Hudson's own journals for 1607 and 1608, and the incomplete journal of 1610-11. Purchas added the 1609 journal by Robert Juet (one of Hudson's crew members), and the record of the 1610-11 voyage written by another crew member, Abacuck Prickett. Finally, Puchas reprinted the single page written about 1610 discovered in the desk of Thomas Woodhouse, himself abandoned on the great bay."

"text": "\"The Stratford Grammar School Part 11 of \"\"Critically Examining Oxfordian Claims\"\"Oxfordians correctly point out that there is no documentary evidence of Shakespeare's schooling, thought they often neglect to add that there are no records of any student at the Stratford school before 1700. They also neglect to mention that this lack of documentation does not make Shakespeare at all unusual among his peers: as I pointed out in another of these essays, the list of Elizabethan playwrights for whom there is no contemporary record of schooling is a long and very distinguished one, including Ben Jonson (considered the greatest classical scholar in England) [note], George Chapman (famous translator of Homer, and another great classical scholar), Michael Drayton (one of England's most famous poets, mentioned by Meres in Palladis Tamia more often than Shakespeare), John Webster, Thomas Dekker, Cyril Tourneur, etc. etc. Oxfordians also make much of the fact that Shakespeare's father and many of his contemporaries signed with a mark and were probably illiterate, but they neglect to mention that Shakespeare's generation was demonstrably much better educated than his father's, due to extensive improvements in the schooling system (see David Cressy's Education in Tudor and Stuart England and Literacy and the Social Order for more information). Oxfordians often insist that a child had to be able to read to enter a grammar school such as Stratford's, and if Shakespeare's parents were illiterate, who would have taught him to read? As in so many other matters, the Oxfordians are confused here: the normal practice, especially in a country town such as Stratford, was to have a \"\"petty school\"\" attached to the grammar school proper, in which an \"\"abcedarius\"\" taught the youngest students to read. We know that Stratford had such a petty school, and we know the name of at least one abcedarius, from 1600 (Thomas Parker). Furthermore, T. W. Baldwin, in William Shakspere's Petty School, says that \"\"Shakspere makes it abundantly clear that he learned to read from The ABC with the Cathechism, the conventional text of his day,\"\" which Baldwin then proceeds to demonstrate in detail with many echoes of this work found in the plays. As for the grammar school proper, the curriculum of the Stratford Free School (incorporated in 1553) does not survive, but since the educational system was nationalized under Elizabeth, we can safely extrapolate from curricula which do survive from elsewhere. We know that the boys would have gotten a thorough grounding in Latin and the classics, and Baldwin, in his massive two-volume work William Shakspere's Small Latine and Lesse Greeke, shows in great detail how the typical grammar school curriculum of the day is reflected in Shakespeare's plays."

"text": "\"Humanities ›History & Culture What Does My Last Name Mean? Share Flipboard Email Print Have you ever wondered where your surname comes from and what it means?. Getty / peepoby Kimberly Powell Updated June 20, 2017With a few exceptions, hereditary surnames—the last names passed down through the male family lines—didn't exist until about 1000 years ago. While it may be hard to believe in today's world of passports and retinal scans, surnames just weren't necessary before that. The world was much less crowded than it is today, and most folks never ventured more than a few miles from their place of birth. Every man knew his neighbors, so first, or given names, were the only designations necessary. Even kings got by with a single name. During the middle ages, as families got bigger and villages got a bit more crowded, individual names became inadequate to distinguish friends and neighbors from one another. One John might be called \"\"John son of William\"\" to distinguish him from his neighbor, \"\"John the smith,\"\" or his friend \"\"John of the dale.\"\" These secondary names, weren't quite yet the surnames as we know them today, however, because they weren't passed down from father to son. \"\""

"text": "\"Humanities ›History & Culture What Does My Last Name Mean? Share Flipboard Email Print Have you ever wondered where your surname comes from and what it means?. Getty / peepoby Kimberly Powell Updated June 20, 2017With a few exceptions, hereditary surnames—the last names passed down through the male family lines—didn't exist until about 1000 years ago. While it may be hard to believe in today's world of passports and retinal scans, surnames just weren't necessary before that. The world was much less crowded than it is today, and most folks never ventured more than a few miles from their place of birth. Every man knew his neighbors, so first, or given names, were the only designations necessary. Even kings got by with a single name. During the middle ages, as families got bigger and villages got a bit more crowded, individual names became inadequate to distinguish friends and neighbors from one another. One John might be called \"\"John son of William\"\" to distinguish him from his neighbor, \"\"John the smith,\"\" or his friend \"\"John of the dale.\"\" These secondary names, weren't quite yet the surnames as we know them today, however, because they weren't passed down from father to son. \"\""

I'll Tell You By Ava Alderman | Submitted On August 12, 2009I get a lot of questions from people asking me if Nutri System is really healthy or if being on is \"\"dangerous.\"\" I think that folks sometimes see the dramatic weight loss on celebrities like Jillian Barberie and Marie Osmond and think that this must be some kind of very low calorie or starvation diet. It really isn't. It doesn't require a prescription or a doctor's recommendation (although common sense should obviously be used.) I'll explain why I believe that Nutri System is perfectly safe in the following article. I Believe That You Get Enough Calories On Nutri System: First off, this is not a grossly restrictive diet, in terms of calories. This one does not fall into the category of only 800 calories or less which often requires that you are supervised by a doctor. The typical calorie intake on this diet is more between 1,000 and 1,200 calories per day, which is typical of most \"\"diets\"\" today. Why I Believe That The Ketosis Process With Nutri System Is Also Safe: This diet works like a lot of other low carb or \"\"glycemic friendly\"\" diets work."

Now Whole Foods is planning to build a store here. ( Photo by Warren Skalski for the Washington Post)CHICAGO—The center of Englewood has been vacant for so long that many people in the neighborhood can’t quite recall when it became that way. Thirty years ago? Forty? It was after blockbusting began on the South Side, after white flight was well underway, after the big Sears Roebuck, with the Hillman’s Pure Foods in the basement, closed in the 1970s. Sometime around then, the small businesses at 63rd and Halsted closed, too, and the buildings that housed them were razed. And so one of the busiest shopping corridors in Chicago was reduced to a desolate stretch of city: 13 acres of crabgrass and concrete with aging streetlights. Glen Fulton opens a window on the fourth floor of the bank building on 63rd to look out at all this blank space. “"

She dangled there all night, and in the morning, when they came to cut the body down, she was still alive.” Webster became known as Half-Hanged Mary. The maiden name of Atwood’s grandmother was Webster, and the family tree can be traced back to John Webster, the fifth governor of Connecticut. “ On Monday, my grandmother would say Mary was her ancestor, and on Wednesday she would say she wasn’t,” Atwood said. “ So take your pick. ”Atwood made the artist’s pick: she chose the story. She once wrote a vivid narrative poem in the voice of Half-Hanged Mary—in Atwood’s telling, a sardonic, independent-minded crone who was targeted by neighbors “for having blue eyes and a sunburned skin . . ."

In a lake, a good balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide is just as important. Who Needs Oxygen Dissolved oxygen, also called DO, is vital to the health of aquatic habitats. Plants and animals need oxygen to survive. A low level of oxygen in the water is a sign that the habitat is stressed or polluted. Where does oxygen come from? Oxygen from the air is mixed into water with the help of rain, wind, waves and currents. Fast-moving water contains more DO than still water because it has more contact with the air, allowing more oxygen to mix into the water. Underwater plants and algae also contribute oxygen during the process of photosynthesis."

Photosynthesis is the process of plants converting carbon dioxide from the air and water to usable energy (in the form of glucose), with oxygen as a waste product. The word equation for it is as follows: carbon dioxide + water -------------------------------------------> glucose + oxygen chlorophyll sunlight (6CO2+6H2O+light energy=C6H12O6+6O2) The words chlorophyll and sunlight are written underneath the equation because they are the conditions that are required for photosynthesis to take place. Energy is provided by the sun, and chlorophyll is the green chemical within the leaf where photosynthesis takes place. Photosynthesis takes place at its fastest during warm, sunny days when there is plenty of sunlight, presuming the soil is moist. Photosynthesis does not occur at night when there is no sunlight.20 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

"text": "\"Live Science Planet Earth Reference: What Is Photosynthesis? By Aparna Vidyasagar, Live Science Contributor | July 31, 2015 06:42pm ETMOREPhotosynthesis takes in the carbon dioxide produced by all breathing organisms and reintroduces oxygen into the atmosphere. Credit: KPG_Payless | Shutterstock Photosynthesis is the process used by plants, algae and certain bacteria to harness energy from sunlight into chemical energy. There are two types of photosynthetic processes: oxygenic photosynthesis and anoxygenic photosynthesis. Oxygenic photosynthesis is the most common and is seen in plants, algae and cyanobacteria. During oxygenic photosynthesis, light energy transfers electrons from water (H 2 O) to carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), which produces carbohydrates. In this transfer, the CO 2 is \"\"reduced,\"\" or receives electrons, and the water becomes \"\"oxidized,\"\" or loses electrons. Ultimately, oxygen is produced along with carbohydrates. Oxygenic photosynthesis functions as a counterbalance to respiration; it takes in the carbon dioxide produced by all breathing organisms and reintroduces oxygen into the atmosphere. In his 1998 article, “ An Introduction to Photosynthesis and Its Applications ,” Wim Vermaas, a professor at Arizona State University surmised, “without [oxygenic] photosynthesis, the oxygen in the atmosphere would be depleted within several thousand years."

"text": "\"Why Do I Need To Use Algaecide In My Swimming Pool? Algaecides and algaestats treat and prevent algae growth in pools and hot tubs and are important tools to keep in your pool care arsenal. While the chlorine you use for regular pool maintenance and water sanitization does have bactericidal and algaecidal properties, the addition of pool algaecide will enhance and prolong the effectiveness of the chlorine and can act as a valuable backup to the anti-algae effects of regular chlorination. If algae are present in your pool despite your regular pool care routine, which can be indicated by brown, green, blue-green, black or yellow areas on the walls of the pool or an algae bloom in the water, then using algaecide is definitely in order. The most common forms of algae are extremely resistant to treatment with chlorine. Therefore, algaecides will be necessary to rectify the situation and return your pool to the clean, clear, refreshing haven as intended. The chemistry of algaecide is pretty complex since there are more than 46 species of clear water algae that exist today. Some types of algaecide work better on certain species of algae that others. Algaecides are primarily algae inhibitors that work in conjunction with pool sanitizers to help control and prevent algae growth. Planktonic clean water algae float on the surface of pool water while other types will attach and grow onto the pool floor or sides."

By following the correct process, you can ensure that you undertake the process correctly to keep your swimming pool clear. Step 1 – Identify Extent of Problem To ensure that you are able to get rid of black mold from every part of the pool, the first step should be to examine the entire pool thoroughly. Do not forget the vents, the filter and any other accessories within the pool. If there are any accessories in the pool that are removable, it is prudent to take them from the pool to clean them and set them aside while the pool is cleaned. The black mold problem should be easy to locate as it can develop and spread quickly without appearing to affect the water. Step 2 – Clean Filter During the process to get rid of black mold, do not swim in the pool and, if necessary, cordon it off with the use of barriers and a sign to make everyone aware that the pool cannot be used. Begin by cleaning the filter as this can harbor mold spores, making all your work to get rid of black mold for nothing as the problem will simply return to the pool because it will live on in the filter. If your pool comprises a sand filter, replace the sand. Step 3 – Remove Mold Be aware that a vinyl sided pool will need to be treated more delicately than outlined here."

"text": "Home / Research / Algal Toxicology and Dynamics Algal Toxicology and Dynamics PROJECT OVERVIEW AND HISTORYCentral Indiana water supply reservoirs have historically experienced and continue to experience taste and odor (T&O) issues. Long-term patterns documented since at least 2002 show that taste-and-odor episodes are highly variable in frequency, intensity and duration among years and within the same reservoir, and very often are associated with the presence of specific species of cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae. Understanding the hydrologic and biogeochemical processes that lead to changes in algal metabolite (MIB and geosmin) concentrations in water supply reservoirs is important for improving the quality of water in drinking water reservoirs because it can be an economic burden to water treatment plants to remove these T&O compounds. It is also important to improving our understanding of the possible production of algal toxins that are of concern worldwide. The Center has provided field and analytical support to the local drinking water utility, collecting data that is used to ensure that production processes are maximized to deliver the highest quality drinking water. We have been assisting in monitoring local reservoirs since summer 2008 through partnerships with local agencies and utilities including previous support from Veolia Water Indianapolis. Citizens Water is continuing and expanding this partnership through funding to support the field, laboratory and analytical research towards developing a better understanding of key chemical, phyisical, and biological processes that drive blooms of specific cyanobacteria and their production of these metabolites in area reservoirs, including Geist, Morse and Eagle Creek Reservoirs. Through continued sampling and through lab and field expeiments, we will work towards improving our understanding of how these complex natural systems respond to changes in deleterious and beneficial directions. This partnership provides significant opportunity for students and faculty in the School of Science to be engaged with the drinking water utility in a way that brings fundamental scientific research and student training to bear on a significant problem with industrial, societial, and private citizen concern. Faculty member Dr. Greg Druschel and CEES Scientist (and Earth and Environmental Sciences Ph D student) Nico Clercin lead this project at CEES."

Believing that 'a little knowledge is a dangerous thing', I've sought to educate myself more completely on the mechanism (s) by which polyquat agents might inhibit algal growth, or, as it is claimed, actually kill algae. I can accept that, as strong chelating agents, they might act in some way on the algae cell wall, possibly by interfering with cell wall synthesis or otherwise stressing the cells through disruption of cell wall components, but I have difficulty with the explanations cited in some articles and promotional literature that describe polyquats stripping algae (and bacteria, in some accounts) of their walls, leading the poor little denuded blighters to suffer death by lysis. If they were that effective, why are we still using chlorine? I've read that polyquats are highly effective against the more resistant forms of Mustard and Black algae. I can see how polyquats might aid in disrupting the resistant outer crust of these varieties and possibly loosen their hold on pool surfaces, but then what? Do they actually play a role in killing the cells or merely make them more vulnerable to chlorine? I can accept that polyquats might stop green algae from getting a foot-hold by preventing slime bio-film formation, possibly even forming a barrier that prevents algae from adhering to pool surfaces. That seems quite plausible. I can also accept that polyquats might aid in the clearing of chlorine-killed algae by cross-bridging and clumping cells such they fall out of suspension."

Proper p H levels are essential in order for the other chemicals to do their work. Chlorine is much less effective at higher p H levels. At a p H of 8.0, chlorine is only 22% effective. It is also important to note that low and high levels can cause damage to a vinyl liner. Under the right circumstances, with p H below 7.0, the liner can actually grow and develop unsightly wrinkles.

Well, hopefully, you don’t want to turn your pool green. But like most pool owners, taking care of a pool becomes an afterthought during the busy days of summer, and neglect can easily lead to a mini swamp in your backyard. But it isn’t all bad news, because with a little preventative maintenance and a solid routine, keeping your swimming pool crystal clear can be incredibly easy. So how easy is it to keep your pool clear? Read the six ways to turn your pool green, and if any of these steps sounds like something you do, then it is time to change your pool care habits. The 6 Sure-fire Ways to Turn Your Pool Green Adding chlorine tablets to your pool once per week Chlorine tablets dissolve within 3 to 5 days during the heat of summer. During extremely hot stretches, they can dissolve even quicker than that. If your routine for maintaining your pool consists of only adding tablets once per week, you are running the risk of inviting algae to bloom when the chlorine levels drop below 1ppm. To properly ensure that your chlorine levels stay in the appropriate range for fighting algae, you should check your chlorine tablets at least twice per week, making sure to replace tablets before they have completely dissolved."

Good question It's good that you're using Tri-chlor tabs to raise the cyanuric acid (CYA) in your pool. The reason that you can't keep the chlorine level up between 1.5 - 3.5ppm is your CYA is either too low or too high. It should be between 20 - 40ppm.

Keep the basics on hand for regular maintenance as well as anticipated water problems. My little blog post today lists below all of the pool chemicals that every pool owner should be familiar with; at the end is a short list of pool chemicals that should be kept in stock. Sanitizers: These are the chemicals that you use to keep water sanitized and disinfected. There should be a constant level of chlorine (or bromine) in the water at all times, without a lot of peaks and valleys. Tri Chlor: 3” tabs, or 1” tabs or sticks. With cyanuric acid. Add them to a chlorine floater or a installed chlorinator. Di Chlor: granular."

Algae spores constantly enter the pool, brought in by wind, rain or even contaminated swimsuits or pool cleaning tools. When conditions are right, an algae bloom can occur in a matter of hours. These conditions include out of balance water, warm temperatures, sunlight and presence of nitrates, phosphates and/or carbon dioxide. A lack of good circulation, filtration and sanitation is usually a contributing or the primary cause of pool algae. Algae are a living aquatic creature that multiplies rapidly on warm, sunny days. Containing chlorophyll, algae utilizes photosynthesis to grow. That is, they take in carbon dioxide and expend oxygen as a byproduct. Algae can grow in the shade or sun, but most pool algae strains need some light to grow. Algae need food to survive, and in a swimming pool there is no shortage of tasty food for algae."

You’re here because you’ve witnessed and maybe even participated in the widespread debate every pool owner encounters at one time or another: Are phosphates in pool water a problem, and do you really have to remove them? Spoiler alert: The answers are no and no. Some pool pros and pool chemical sellers will tell you that only by removing phosphates from your pool can you fully and completely control algae growth. You see, phosphates are a nutrient source for algae. The more phosphates in the water, the more yummy food there is for algae to consume, and the faster the algae will grow. But this is only half the story. Actually, it’s only about a quarter of it. Removing the food source isn’t truly addressing the problem. Look at it this way."

"text": "Curriculum alignment. What is curriculum alignment and why does it matter? Curriculum alignment is the process in which educators across all levels (including BISD, TSC and UTB) formally evaluate a course or an educational program to address the changing needs of students and the workforce. Teachers, educational advisers and program coordinators collaborate to develop the curriculum and ensure there are no gaps that may impede academic progress. Research on curriculum alignment shows a strong correlation to student achievement. It also helps to modify courses and programs to better target student postsecondary success and make better use of school resources. Curriculum alignment can also help reduce remediation and help students earn postsecondary credentials faster. BISD and UTB/TSC aligned. BISD teachers and UTB/TSC faculty established a collaborative working relationship in which they worked as equals in their field. In January 2012, 18 BISD teachers and 12 UTB/TSC faculty members began working together to fix curriculum gaps that prevent students from succeeding in their college careers."

"text": "By: Jacqui Murray If I'm trying to get from Los Angeles to Minot, N. D., I start with a map. I build a route that includes the sights I'd like to visit, shows me the connecting roadways, and gives me a rough idea of how long it'll take. The same is true with teaching a class. I need a map to show how best to blend my curriculum and the school's standards, scaffold skills on each other, and connect to all stakeholders that are involved. In education, that's called a curriculum map. What is a Curriculum Map? According to “ Education World,” a curriculum map is “A process for collecting and recording curriculum-related data that identifies core skills and content taught, processes employed, and assessments used for each subject area and grade level. -- Education World: Virtual Workshop: Curriculum Mapping ”A curriculum map first and foremost is a planning tool, a procedure for examining and organizing curriculum that allows educators to determine how content, skills and assessments will unfold over the course of the year. It is an in-depth view of topics teachers will instruct over the school year, their pacing, and how they blend with other subjects. In an IB school, that includes the learner profiles that are satisfied."

"text": "Feature Response to Intervention: What & Why? Neither a fad nor a program, but rather the practice of using data to match instruction and intervention to changing student need by Judy Elliott Everyone is talking about response to intervention. But what is RTI, really, and why should we care? After all isn’t this just another new education reform that sounds like a good idea but will soon fade from the scene? Response to intervention is the practice of providing high-quality instruction and intervention matched to student need, monitoring progress frequently to make decisions about changes in instruction or goals and applying student response data to important education decisions. This approach is not about placing the problems within the student, but rather examining the student’s response to instruction and/or intervention. In essence, RTI expands the practice of looking at students’ risk of learning and behavioral failure beyond the student and takes into consideration a host of factors. Effective implementation of RTI requires leadership, collaborative planning and implementation by professionals across the education system. RTI as a framework or model should be applied to decisions for general, remedial and special education, creating a well-integrated system of instruction and intervention guided by student performance data that is close to the classroom. Today in public education, we are faced with more diversity and challenges than ever before."

The question has a narrow answer when the respondent is a federal bureaucrat, charged with counting academic outcomes in the aggregate to assess student performance relative to some national metric. But as the respondent gets closer to the student—or is himself the student—the answer is far more refined and paints a more nuanced picture of what individuals hope to achieve through education. Stop a federal bureaucrat, a school teacher, and a parent on the street and you will likely hear three different observations about what education can, and should, do. The federal bureaucrat may respond in terms of what education should accomplish for the nation; the teacher might filter her response through the lens of her classroom; and the parent, naturally, will think in aspirational terms of what she hopes education can do for her child. Considering these differing perspectives on the purpose of education provides insight into why opposition to Common Core has been strongest among parents and why national organizations and governors—responding to federal incentives to stick with the national standards and tests—have been slower to reverse course or even reconsider. National standards may provide useful information to state and federal policymakers, but they have driven curriculum and pedagogy in a direction that dissatisfies parents. The Common Core State Standards Initiative was created by Achieve, Inc., and driven primarily by the Council of Chief State School Officers and the National Governors Association. The effort began moving forward in earnest in 2009, with the financial support of the Obama Administration. Following the introduction of Common Core, the Administration offered $4.35 billion in federal Race to the Top grant money, along with waivers from the onerous provisions of the widely derided No Child Left Behind Act."

Every spring, education-related newspaper and magazine stories raise the alarm that schools are teaching to the test.

Curricula provide educators with an outline for what should be taught in classrooms. Assessments determine how much a student has learned and whether he or she has performed to a level of proficiency set by academic standards. Education systems only are as strong as the expectations they hold for their students. But for too long, our nation's schools have not set consistently rigorous goals for students. Students will face high expectations in the real world of college and careers. Aligning schools' standards with those high expectations is vital to ensuring student success, and to giving families and communities an accurate sense of students' progress.

By providing a clear framework, they help all stakeholders ensure that children meet learning and development milestones. Why do we need early learning standards? They promote higher-quality learning experiences for children from birth to age 5. They support each child’s individual rates of development, approaches to learning, and cultural context. Early learning standards help parents and teachers understand the development progress of each child and they help support the early identification and referral of children with special needs. They help to set clear and realistic goals for success. Common early learning standards ensure that children are receiving a consistent, high-quality education across all programs in Georgia. Of course, standards are not the only thing needed to guarantee a child’s learning and development, but they provide an accessible framework for teachers, parents, and other stakeholders."

While NCLB seeks to improve the education of all children — with an emphasis on children from low- income families — IDEA focuses on the individual child and seeks to ensure specialized services for children with disabilities so that they may benefit from education. Lately, these two laws have taken on new importance to parents of students with disabilities. NCLB provisions apply to all students, including those whose disabilities require special education. So it’s important that parents understand the requirements of NCLB. IDEA, in its latest update by Congress, has been more closely aligned with NCLB, making it equally important that parents become familiar with the ways the two laws have been positioned to work together to improve academic achievement of students with disabilities.

Plus, there are a variety of certificate programs that are available at different levels. Curriculum Differences Between Degree Levels But the main difference between the two is the depth of your curriculum. Graduate students analyze topics much more in-depth and are usually more focused on a particular aspect of a subject. On the other hand, undergraduate students are usually taught more general concepts to provide a foundation for future learning. Requirements also include general education courses to provide a well-rounded degree. Reading and Literacy Graduate Programs Using modern practices and techniques in teaching, graduate reading and literacy programs help teachers preparing for certification, those pursuing a new career path, and those who are passionate about helping others.

Each of these measures are on a single scale so that the skill demand and student ability can be matched for targeting instruction. Learn more about Quantile measures. What impact does the Lexile measure of text have on difficulty levels of the mathematics There is a considerable amount of discussion and research about the type of text that is used in mathematics. The readability of technical text is very different from such reading experiences as reading trade books, novels, magazines or newspapers. In order to minimize the reading demand of some mathematics materials, some parts of a Quantile assessment are built with Lexile measures that are traditionally below expected reading levels of the students addressing the work."

"text": "By —Associated Press0 comments Share How is Common Core playing out in all 50 states and DC? Education Aug 30, 2014 1:24 PM EDTThe Common Core standards are math and English benchmarks describing what students should know after completing each grade. They were developed by states to allow comparison of students’ performance. More than 40 states have adopted them. Here is a state-by-state look at how governors and educators are dealing with the standards: ALABAMAThe state school board folded Common Core into the state’s College and Career Ready Standards for public schools and has been defending the decision ever since. Legislators introduced bills in 2013 and 2014 to repeal the standards. The repeal movement drew support from tea party groups, but Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh, a Republican, blocked the bills with the support of one of the state’s most powerful business groups, the Business Council of Alabama.— By Phillip Rawls ALASKAThe state did not adopt Common Core, although several Alaska school districts did. Deputy Education Commissioner Les Morse said those districts will be held accountable for ensuring that student learning is in line with the state standards in English, language arts and reading that were adopted in 2012. The state standards have some similarities with Common Core.—"

Alkaline phosphatase is one kind enzyme found in your body. Enzymes are proteins that help chemical reactions happen. For instance, they can break big molecules down into smaller parts, or they can help smaller molecules join together to form bigger structures. You have alkaline phosphatase throughout your body, including your liver, digestive system, kidneys, and bones. If you show signs of liver disease or a bone disorder, your doctor may order an alkaline phosphatase (ALP) test to measure the amount of the enzyme in your blood and help in diagnosing the problem."

When there may be damage to these cells, this enzyme can leak out. It really depends on your other protein/enzymes testing and other blood tests on your liver, etc...to know for certain. People who have liver disease can have a raise in this level...those who have a problem with bile flowing through the ducts from the liver also can. People who have bone problems or are still in the growing stages of life also can cause a rise. Even pregnancy can cause this. No one blood test is 100% accurate... it takes more than one and a comparison of them to be sure.

Related to alkaline phosphatase test: albumin test, alanine aminotransferase, bilirubin test Alkaline Phosphatase Test Definition Alkaline phosphatase is an enzyme found throughout the body. Like all enzymes, it is needed, in small amounts, to trigger specific chemical reactions. When it is present in large amounts, it may signify bone or liver disease or a tumor. Purpose Medical testing of alkaline phosphatase is concerned with the enzyme that is found in liver,bone, placenta, and intestine. In a healthy liver, fluid containing alkaline phosphate and othersubstances is continually drained away through the bile duct. In a diseased liver, this bile duct is often blocked, keeping fluid within the liver. Alkaline phosphatase accumulates and eventuallyescapes into the bloodstream. The alkaline phosphatase of the liver is produced by the cells lining the small bile ducts (ductoles) in the liver. Its origin differs from that of other enzymes called aminotransferases."

Go to: Abstract Our knowledge of the structure and function of alkaline phosphatases has increased greatly in recent years. The crystal structure of the human placental isozyme has enabled us to probe salient features of the mammalian enzymes that differ from those of the bacterial enzymes. The availability of knockout mice deficient in each of the murine alkaline phosphatase isozymes has also given deep insights into their in vivo role. This has been particularly true for probing the biological role of bone alkaline phosphatase during skeletal mineralization. Due to space constraints this mini-review focuses exclusively on structural and functional features of mammalian alkaline phosphatases as identified by crystallography and probed by site-directed mutagenesis and kinetic analysis. An emphasis is also placed on the substrate specificity of alkaline phosphatases, their catalytic properties as phosphohydrolases as well as phosphodiesterases and their structural and functional relatedness to a large superfamily of enzymes that includes nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase."

Abstract Supportive care guidelines recommend antimold prophylaxis in hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients deemed to have high risk for invasive fungal infection, leading to long-term use of voriconazole after allogeneic HSCT in patients who remain immunocompromised. Voriconazole has been associated with periostitis, exostoses, and fluoride excess in patients after solid organ transplantation, HSCT, and leukemia therapy. The aims of this study were to describe the frequency and clinical presentation of patients presenting with pain and fluoride excess among allogeneic HSCT patients taking voriconazole, to identify when a plasma fluoride concentration was measured with respect to voriconazole initiation and onset of pain, and to describe the outcomes of patients with fluoride excess in the setting of HSCT. A retrospective review was conducted of all adult allogeneic HSCT patients receiving voriconazole at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, between January 1, 2009 and July 31, 2012. Of 242 patients included, 32 had plasma fluoride measured to explore the etiology of musculoskeletal pain. In 31 patients with fluoride measurement while on voriconazole, 29 (93.5%) had elevated levels. The median plasma fluoride was 11.1 μmol/L (range, 2.4 to 24.7). The median duration of voriconazole was 163 days (range, 2 to 1327). The median time to fluoride measurement was 128 days after voriconazole initiation (range, 28 to 692)."

The results of laboratory tests on a patient are compared to reference ranges established by measuring the laboratory parameters in a group of normal animals. The reference ranges for each laboratory test differ between laboratories and across species. Be careful interpreting laboratory tests. An occasional animal will have a value for a laboratory test that falls outside the reference range, but the value may still be normal for that animal. Your veterinarian will interpret laboratory tests in light of the entire evaluation of your pet. Sometimes laboratory tests need to be repeated to evaluate trends, which may provide more information than measurement of a single test.

It is important to realize that laboratory results may be outside of the so-called \"\"normal range\"\" for many reasons. These variations may be due to such things as race, dietetic preference, age, sex, menstrual cycle, degree of physical activity, problems with collection and/or handling of the specimen, non-prescription drugs (aspirin, cold medications, vitamins, etc. ), prescription drugs, alcohol intake and a number of non-illness-related factors, Any unusual or abnormal results should be discussed with your physician. It is not possible to diagnose or treat any disease or problem with this blood test alone. It can, however, help you to learn more about your body and detect potential problems in early stages when treatment or changes in personal habits can be most effective. Our lab, like almost all labs, sets the normal result range for a particular test so that 95% of our healthy patients fall within the normal range. That means that 5% of our healthy patients fall outside of the normal range, even when there is nothing wrong with them. Thus an abnormal test does not necessarily mean that there is something wrong with you. Statistically if you have 20 or 30 individual tests run as part of a panel, chances are 1 or 2 will be slightly outside the normal range."

"text": "\"Liver Test Interpretation - Approach to the Patient with Liver Disease: A Guide to Commonly Used Liver Tests Arvind R. Murali, MDWilliam D. Carey, MDPublished: April 2014 Last Reviewed: August 2017Contents Laboratory assessment of the patient with suspected or clinically obvious liver disease is context dependent. For example, the acutely ill jaundiced patient with a history of prolonged alcohol ingestion requires a different laboratory assessment than the well patient in whom one or more standard liver test results are discovered to be abnormal during routine testing. Additionally, the sequence of liver tests depends heavily on the questions being asked. If it is to determine whether this well person whose brother was recently diagnosed with hemochromatosis also has this genetic disease, then a series of tests will be initiated to detect the possibility of iron overload. If it is to determine whether this spouse has been infected with hepatitis B, then blood tests related to hepatitis B will be required. Thus generic algorithms for the evaluation of liver disease need to be considered skeptically. This chapter is intended to discuss a useful way of thinking about liver tests. It emphasizes limitations of and alternative explanations for isolated abnormalities of common liver test results. It also provides information on the initial screening test to be chosen, their interpretation, and the tests needed to confirm the diagnosis of common liver disorders based on current recommendations. Information in this chapter should be combined with discussions of specific liver diseases in the Disease Management."

"text": "Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP)Alkaline phosphatase refers to a family of enzymes that catalyze hydrolysis of phosphate esters at an alkaline p H. ALP is present (in decreasing order of abundance) in placenta, intestine, kidney, bone and liver. In adults, more than 80% of serum ALP activity derives from liver and bone. In late pregnancy, placental ALP is increased. In children and adolescents most serum ALP activity originates in osteoblasts and correlates with the rate of bone growth. The serum half?life is seven days. Several caveats must be remembered in interpreting ALP results: ALP levels should always be measured after fasting because enzyme levels increase as much as 30 U/L after food ingestion. Patients with blood group O and B who are secretors can have increased ALP levels after eating a fatty meal because of the release of intestinal enzyme. African Americans have 10 to 15% higher ALP serum levels than Caucasians. In children, ALP is increased up to 3 times the upper limit of normal and in pregnant patients it can be increased up to 2 times normal. ALP levels may double following bone fracture."

ALP is made mostly in the liver and in bone with some made in the intestines and kidneys. It also is made by the placenta of a pregnant woman. The liver makes more ALP than the other organs or the bones. Some conditions cause large amounts of ALP in the blood. These conditions include rapid bone growth (during puberty), bone disease (such as Paget's disease or cancer that has spread to the bones), a disease that affects how much calcium is in the blood ( hyperparathyroidism ), vitamin D deficiency, or damaged liver cells. If the ALP level is high, more tests may be done to find the cause. The amounts of different types of ALP in the blood may be measured and used to determine whether a high level is from the liver or bones. This is called an alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes test.

Levels of alkaline phosphatase -- an enzyme in the blood -- can be elevated by liver disease, or less serious conditions including pregnancy and over-the-counter drug use. See your doctor to discuss any concerns you may have after a blood test. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Definitions Alkaline phosphatase -- often refers to as \"\"ALP\"\" or \"\"Alk Phos\"\" on lab sheets -- is an isoenzyme. Isoenzymes are groups of slightly different enzymes that work together to perform the same function. Although alkaline phosphatase found in the bile ducts is slightly different from alkaline phosphatase found in bone, both types remove phosphate groups from many different molecules. Drug Usage Many common over-the-counter and prescription drugs can elevate alkaline phosphatase levels. For example, hypertension drugs such as propanolol or verapamil or gout treatments such as allopurinol can raise levels. Antibiotics such as erythomycin and ulcer treatments such as ranitidine are also common culprits. Liver Diseases High alkaline phosphatase levels can be associated with various liver diseases such as as hepatic cancer, cirrhosis, fatty liver and hepatitis."

This protein plays an important role in moving many small molecules such as bilirubin, progesterone, calcium, and others into the bloodstream. Albumin also ensures that fluid from the blood does not leak out into the body's tissues. Since, albumin is manufactured by the liver; an abnormal level of albumin could point to liver damage or disease. It could also be a sign of kidney damage, because the kidneys keep check on large molecules such as proteins and ensure that they remain in the blood. Any protein that does escape into the urine is quickly re-absorbed by the body and used as a source of energy. The amount of albumin can be measured using either a urine test or a serum albumin test. In a serum albumin test the amount of albumin present in the clear liquid portion (i.e. serum) of the blood is measured. The normal range of albumin is 3.4 - 5.4 grams per deciliter (g/d L). Reasons Why It is Done The serum albumin test is done to check for levels of albumin because a low level of albumin may point to liver diseases such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, malabsorption such as in the case of Crohn's disease, malnutrition, and other problems."

But during the night, the angel of the Lord opened the doors of the prison, led them out, and said, \"\"Go and take your place in the temple area, and tell the people everything about this life.\"\" When they heard this, they went to the temple early in the morning and taught. When the high priest and his companions arrived, they convened the Sanhedrin, the full senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the jail to have them brought in. But the court officers who went did not find them in the prison, so they came back and reported, \"\"We found the jail securely locked and the guards stationed outside the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside.\"\" When the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests heard this report, they were at a loss about them, as to what this would come to. Then someone came in and reported to them, \"\"The men whom you put in prison are in the temple area and are teaching the people.\"\" Then the captain and the court officers went and brought them, but without force, because they were afraid of being stoned by the people.

"text": "Home Question Box Is the Rosary the most important Catholic prayer? Did it originate with Jesus? Why has Pope John Paul II changed it? By Fr. Joe Scott May 18, 2008The rosary is not the most important Catholic prayer–that “honor” belongs to the Eucharist–but it has been a popular and widespread devotion among Catholics from the Middle Ages until the present day. Jesus would not have prayed the Rosary, which is actually a collection of prayers. Only one of these, the Our Father or “Lord’s Prayer,” is attributed to Jesus in the gospels of Matthew and Luke. The first section of the “Hail Mary,” the most frequently recited prayer in the Rosary, is adapted from two passages in the gospel of Luke: the words of the angel Gabriel to Mary (Luke 1:28) and the words of Elizabeth to Mary (Luke 1:42). The Apostle’s Creed is a profession of faith which originated in Rome and was used in the early church to instruct adults preparing for baptism. The other prayer in the Rosary is the Doxology or “Glory be…” a common way of concluding a Jewish prayer which was retained by the Christian community."

Includes the Catholic Encyclopedia, Church Fathers, Summa, Bible and more — all for only $19.99... Bishop of Auxerre, born at Auxerre c. 380; died at Ravenna, 31 July, 448. He was the son of Rusticus and Germanilla, and his family was one of the noblest in Gaul in the latter portion of the fourth century. He received the very best education provided by the distinguished schools of Arles and Lyons, and then went to Rome, where he studied eloquence and civil law. He practised there before the tribunal of the prefect for some years with great success. His high birth and brilliant talents brought him into contact with the court, and he married Eustachia, a lady highly esteemed in imperial circles. The emperor sent him back to Gaul, appointing him one of the six dukes, entrusted with the government of the Gallic provinces. He resided at Auxerre and gave himself up to all the enjoyments that naturally fell to his lot. At length he incurred the displeasure of the bishop, St. Amator. It appears that Germain was accustomed to hang the trophies of the chase on a certain tree, which in earlier times had been the scene of pagan worship."

"text": "\"Music of the Crusades Era European music, prior to Arab influence which came primarily through involvement in the Crusades, was largely sacred and monophonic in nature. Plainsong chant featured almost exclusively in worship. Gradually, due at least in part to the works of traveling minstrels like troubadours and goliards, instrumental accompaniment, harmony and polyphony would become standards of Western music. The following brief survey foregrounds the troubadours and their heirs with an eye to music history and cultural context. Plainsong and Gregorian Chant One of the principle repertories of the Middle Ages, monophonic chant began to be preserved in manuscript form around the 10th century. It consists of unaccompanied melodies set to the Latin texts of the liturgy, principally the psalms, and was used in the Mass. In performance, psalmodic chant may be antiphonal, in which two halves of a choir sing verses in alternation, or responsorial, in which a cantor or soloists alternate with the choir. Melodies of Gregorian chant, named for St. Gregory the Great (Pope from 590-604) are classified tonally according to a modal system adopted from the Byzantines. Chant, notably, is free in rhythm, as opposed to later mensural music. Antiphon: a selection from \"\" Spiritus domine replevit\"\" performed by the Schola Cantorum of Amsterdam Students, Wim van Gerven, Cond. Sequentia In addition to liturgical chant, sequentia or sequence was one of the most important types of music."

When the world turns towards its coldest and darkest, we Christians in New Zealand are among the first to proclaim that Christ, the light of the world, is risen. The fire heralds our winter, it is a welcoming beacon to church, the campfire of pilgrims around which we tell our stories, the hearth of our home. The Paschal Candle (like a pillar of fire) leads the pilgrim people into the dark church. The very ancient Exsultet is chanted by the deacon or other minister.

Some Christians [ who?] believe this event represents the birth of the Catholic Church. In Eastern Christianity, Pentecost can also refer to the entire fifty days of Easter through Pentecost inclusive; hence the book containing the liturgical texts for Paschaltide is called the \"\" Pentecostarion \"\". Since its date depends on the date of Easter, Pentecost is a moveable feast. The holy day is also called \"\"White Sunday\"\" or \"\" Whitsunday \"\", especially in the United Kingdom, where traditionally the next day, Whit Monday, was also a public holiday (now fixed by statute on the last Monday in May)."

"text": "\"Erik P May 2010Posts: 152Two questions about singing the sequence in the Novus Ordo? ( from schola members at rehearsal earlier this evening) 1. The lectionary and some less-than-reputable missals say that the sequence should be sung before the alleluia, even citing the GIRM. However, the Gregorian Missal publishes the sequence for Pentecost after the Alleluia. Maybe this is only the case when the Proper Alleluia, \"\"Veni Sancte Spiritus\"\" is sung; and when a simple alleluia setting is used the sequence supposed to go first????? Or is this just one of the many build-a-Mass options of the Novus Ordo? 2. Why were the ending amen-alleluia from the sequences eliminated in the Gregorian missal? The foreword in the Gregorian Missal cites that much of the work of the GM was to restore the most authentic versions of the chants?? Thanks in advance for any clarification."

The details of Léonin’s life are not known. To him is attributed the Magnus liber organi ( c. 1170; “Great Book of Organum ”), a collection of two-voiced organum settings, notably of Gradual, Alleluia, and Responsory chants, for the complete liturgical year. ( Organum is the elaboration of a plainchant melody by a countermelody sung above it.) In the Magnus liber, melismatic, or florid, and note-against-note, or “discantus,” styles were combined within compositions characterized by the use of rhythmic modes, or short repeated patterns in triple rhythm.

"text": "Catholic 101Why Do Catholics Give Things Up for Lent? Ask nearly anyone who grew up Catholic what they’re doing for Lent, and they’ll probably tell you what they’re “giving up.” The notion of giving up some pleasure for the 40 days of Lent is very much in keeping with the penitential character of the season. Of course, the primary pillars of Lent are prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. All of these are intended to turn our hearts back to God, to purify us, and prepare us for the celebration of Christ’s resurrection at Easter. One of the things that the whole Church gives up for Lent is the acclamation “Alleluia” before the proclamation of the Gospel. When it comes to giving things up for Lent, people often get into trouble by taking on too much, or by working from the wrong motivation. To take on too much is to set oneself up for failure. Several years ago, I decided to give up both meat and chocolate for Lent. Instead of turning my heart back to God, this only served to make me irritable, as every bacon cheeseburger or peanut butter cup I encountered began to take on demonic proportions."

"text": "\"The Remarkable Acoustics of the Salt Lake Tabernacle May 22, 2014Facebook Twitter Google+ E-mail Print The Salt Lake Tabernacle is an architectural wonder. It was completed in 1867 and was engineered by Henry Grow, under the direction of Brigham Young, who was President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at the time. The roof is 150 feet across and 250 feet long, and the seating capacity is approximately 3,000, including the choir loft. Architect Frank Lloyd Wright, who built many famous buildings, including the Guggenheim in New York City, said the Tabernacle was \"\"one of the architectural masterpieces of the country and perhaps the world. \"\" Besides its unique architecture, the building is famous for its superior acoustics. At the time it was built, there were no amplifiers or electronics, and it was designed so that all who were in attendance could hear the speaker’s voice. When the Tabernacle was remodeled in 2007, a New York Times article stated the following: The tabernacle’s famed acoustics, which legend has it enabled a listener to a hear a pin drop from 250 feet away, were measured before the renovation began, modeled on computers and then assessed again recently, said Roger P. Jackson, the project’s lead architect. Mr. Jackson said he expected the building’s enveloping sound would be preserved. “ Acoustics is a science and an art,” he said, “but it’s also guesswork. Anything you do has an impact."

Today’s Super User Q&A post has the answer to a curious reader’s question. Today’s Question & Answer session comes to us courtesy of Super User—a subdivision of Stack Exchange, a community-driven grouping of Q&A web sites. The Question Super User reader Guitar Shoe Dave wants to know what the “Fi” in Wi-Fi means: I just got into a heated discussion about Wi-Fi. What does the “Fi” in Wi-Fi mean? I would have thought it potentially stood for “frequency interface” since all network adapters are classified as interfaces. However, I am not certain about this. What does the “Fi” in Wi-Fi mean? The Answer Super User contributor fixer1234 has the answer for us: Preface There has been a lot of discussion in the comments and other answers here about how to interpret the term Wi-Fi, of what it should or does mean by virtue of historical and common usage, and implied meaning.

"text": "Is this Dementia and What Does it Mean?by Tamera Jackson | Licensed since 2007Print This article was updated on: 08/02/2017Find Affordable Medicare Plans in Your Area Dementia is a word that gets mentioned a lot when people discuss aging and behavioral or memory changes. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, Alzheimer’s disease attacks the brain and is the most common form of dementia, which is a general term for a decline in mental ability that affects everyday life. According to the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America, the dementia definition describes an array of medical symptoms including memory loss; loss of intellectual functions such as judgment, language, and communication skills; and impaired motor skills that indicate permanent damage or death of nerve cells (neurons) in the brain. Wondering whether you or your loved one is experiencing dementia or just the normal changes of aging? Here are some warning signs, symptoms, and ways to differentiate between normal aging, reversible dementia, and degenerative (irreversible) dementia. What are some causes of reversible dementia or “pseudodementia?”According to the Family Caregiver Alliance, changes in mental capacity that mimic dementia among older people have many causes: Adverse drug reactions and interactions (some of the most common causes of confusion and cognitive impairment in the elderly)Thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal abnormalities Metabolic abnormalities and changes in blood chemistry Vision and hearing changes, systemic infections, and nutritional deficiencies Depression and emotional distress Urinary tract infections (according to the Centers for Disease Control)Ask your doctor for a complete evaluation to rule out any medical causes if you notice potential signs of dementia. How can I tell if it’s dementia or normal aging? The Alzheimer’s Association lists 10 early warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease (the most common form of dementia) as compared to normal changes associated with aging. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, some of the early signs and symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia include: Memory loss, especially short-term. People with dementia ask for the same information over and over and often forget things that happened that same day, even though they remember events that happened long ago."

"text": "\"Rebel Alliance Insignia Methodology Acknowledgements Officer Plaques Observations Mysteries of the Sith Flawed Interpretations Solution Shoulder Patches Comlink Buttons Sleeve Insignia Shoulder Cylinders Other Insignia X-Wing: Alliance Implicit Ranks References Appendices: Military Ranks Military Organisation Methodology As with the insignia of the armed forces of the Galactic Empire, the uniforms and insignia of the Rebel Alliance must indicate the status of commissioned and non-commissioned members in an unambiguous fashion. This implies that for each self-coherent rebel faction there must exist a simple visual scheme for reading the geometric and colour cues of the insignia which translates into a single measure of seniority. The artists who designed the costumes for the films might not have considered such a system in detail, but it is the task of this document to consider the simplest possible ad hoc scheme which is consistent with all of the known examples and with realistic naval and military nomenclature. The non-uniform nature of the Rebel Alliance complicates this project. Unlike the Galactic Empire, which was static, resource-rich and tightly-regulated on a galactic scale, the rebels literally consist of an alliance of many insurgent forces which arose from isolated local resistance movements, and whose philosophies and equipment vary markedly. The overall Alliance composition and structure changed significantly during the years of Galactic Civil War, and it would be unsurprising if these changes were reflected in the uniforms of the rebel armed forces. Therefore it becomes important to carefully distinguish between apparent inconsistencies of factional or temporal origin, and those which must be taken as constraining tests for theories of the underlying order of insignia. Different rebel factions used different uniforms and insignia schemes. This document focuses mainly on the Alderaanian human faction sponsored by the Organa royal family and led by generals such as Jan Dodonna and Carlist Rieekan. This is the rebel group which bore the brunt of the Battles of Yavin and Hoth."

"title": "http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0738894213503440\nDisputed territory, defensive alliances and conflict initiation",
"text": "Abstract In this study, we evaluate the effects of alliance behavior on the probability of militarized conflict initiation with specific emphasis placed on the issues at stake in the conflict. After much debate over the relationship between alliances and conflict, recent research suggests that specific types of alliances, namely defensive pacts for target states, decrease the likelihood that potential challengers will initiate militarized disputes. Revisiting the alliance–conflict relationship, we allow the type of issue at stake to vary in order to determine whether this deterrent effect holds even when the most salient of issues are under contention. Specifically, we introduce indicators for whether the two states are competing over territorial issues, a high-salience stake that is particularly conflict-prone. Using a number of different indicators for territorial competition and examining several different time periods, analyses suggest that targeted defensive alliances do indeed have a deterrent effect against named adversaries, even when the most salient of issues are at stake. Keywords Alliances, deterrence, militarized interstate disputes, territory How does variation in the issues states compete over affect the alliance–conflict relationship? The question of whether alliances increase or decrease the likelihood of militarized conflict has longed vexed scholars, with both theoretical logic (see Smith, 1995) and early empirical findings producing an opaque picture of the relationship. Recent scholarship, however, has taken large strides toward clarifying the puzzle. By introducing variation in the types of alliances states sign, Leeds (2003) and Johnson and Leeds (2011) find that, when target states have defensive alliances, challengers are less likely to initiate militarized disputes; alternatively, neutrality pacts and offensive alliances increase the likelihood of conflict. In other words, the type of alliance matters when it comes to the alliance–conflict relationship."

"text": "\"Strategic Alliance as a Prelude to Merger Merger mania is back - in the U. S., in Europe and in Canada. Law firm merger evaluation and analysis is once again a fast-growing practice area. And, once again, (as in the 1980s) the \"\"go/no go\"\" analyses of prospective mergers are disclosing some fuzzy thinking by some firms who apparently did not learn from the relatively mediocre performance of many mergers of the past, let alone a number of spectacular US merger failures (Lord, Day and Barrett, Smith; Isham Lincoln and Beale with Ruben and Proctor; etc. ) Synergies Few mergers of law firms promise the synergy required to increase long-term profitability of the merged entity. Synergy in the form of improved profitability only occurs when a merger results in increased associate leverage, lawyer utilization, realization or billing rates. These things only happen if the aggregate volume of legal work of the two combined firms actually increases as a result of the merger, resulting in increased utilization or leverage, or if the quality of work dramatically increases, raising rates and realization. Per lawyer overhead almost never decreases over the long term. Economic survey data has consistently shown that there are few or no economies of scale in law practice. Large firms always spend more per lawyer on overhead than smaller firms, on average, as do multiple office firms compared to single office firms. Also, the \"\"transaction costs\"\" incurred in a merger frequently result in decreased margins in early post-merger years."

For those with BPD, that may mean intense emotions, destructive actions, rapid mood swings, and feelings of abandonment. You may have gone years feeling this way and do not know any other way of living. If you are considering going to therapy, it can be overwhelming, scary, and frustrating. Psychotherapy sessions ask you to completely change how you think and rationalize behaviors. It can be a stressful and emotional experience, but a strong therapeutic alliance can help you through it. What is a Therapeutic Alliance? The foundation for any course of therapy is the therapeutic alliance, the strong bond designed to help you through your recovery. It is the relationship you have with your therapist and the level of trust you have in her. This is what keeps you moving during therapy, even when it's difficult or painful, because you know she has your best interests in mind."

S. Mistakes After 9/11Religious Conservatives Can Remind the Rest of Us How to Argue The Postal Service & Amazon: Crony Capitalism Delivered to Your Door The Case Against Preemptive War By Paul W. Schroeder • October 21, 2002Tweet Most Americans seem little concerned at the prospect of an American war on Iraq. This is surprising considering that, of America’s friends and allies, only Israel openly supports it, while other states in the Middle East, including longtime rivals and enemies of Iraq, warn against it, and the Europeans view it with alarm and growing frustration. Those challenges to the planned war now being raised, moreover, tend to center on prudential questions – whether the proposed attack will work and what short-term risks and collateral damage might be involved – rather than on whether the war itself is a good idea. The practical risks are indeed serious. The attack would entail a new military campaign while the so-called war against al-Qaeda and terrorism is far from over, involving many thousands of American troops in ground fighting with corresponding casualties, fought with few allies or none and paid for entirely by the United States in troubled economic times. Across the Muslim world hostility toward America is already inflamed, and radical Islamic movements are active. The global economy – particularly the oil and stock markets – is vulnerable to shock. Such a war would also come at a time when America’s alliances in Europe and the Middle East are strained, certain fragile Middle Eastern and South Asian regimes are at risk, and other international dangers (tensions between India and Pakistan, North and South Korea, and China and Taiwan, and economic crisis in Latin America, to name a few) are looming. If the war succeeds in toppling Hussein, the United States will be saddled with the new responsibilities of occupying, administering, rebuilding, democratizing, and stabilizing Iraq (beyond its existing responsibilities in Afghanistan), tasks of unreckoned costs and manifold difficulties for which neither the American public nor the administration have demonstrated much understanding, skill, or stomach. In the light of all this, the enterprise merely on practical grounds looks remarkably rash."

"text": "What Does the “D” in “D-Day” Stand For? January 2, 2015 Sarah Stone 8 comments Tom C. asks: The V in V-Day was for Victory right? So what does the D in D-Day stand for? The Battle of Normandy, also known as D-Day, started on June 6, 1944 and was the beginning of the major invasion of German-occupied Western Europe during World War II. But why was it called “D-Day”? You might at first be inclined to think the abbreviation is similar to V-Day (Victory Day). Indeed, one commonly touted explanation given for the meaning of the “D” in D-Day is that it stands for “designated day.” Others claim it stands for “decision day”, “debarkation”, or even “deliverance day.” Even General Dwight Eisenhower, or at the least his assistant, weighed in when Eisenhower received a letter asking for an explanation of the meaning of D-Day. His executive assistant wrote back stating D-Day was a shortened version of “departed day”."

"text": "\"Home » Classroom Advantages & Disadvantages of Allies By Tallulah Philange; Updated April 05, 2018Having allies makes your cause stronger and arms you with more machinery. History has shown repeatedly that it's always easier to win a war with the strong support of allies. Allies are a group of nations, with common goals, joining to defeat their opposition. By pooling resources, allies have more of the necessary items, including machinery and labor, to win a war. It also helps create a larger network of bases for operations. However, there are downsides to having allies as well, including divergent opinions and possible financial ramifications. Advantage: Pooled Resources In a post-industrial world, many countries specialize in specific sectors of large-scale manufacturing rather than having a broad range of smaller operations. Allies can pool these specific resources together. For example, if country Y specializes in small arms manufacturing, it would do well to ally with country X, which has an established fighter-jet manufacturing base. This way, both countries are fully equipped, using each other's strengths."

When you become an ally of transgender people, your actions will help change the culture, making society a better, safer place for transgender people - and for all people (trans or not) who do not conform to conventional gender expectations. You can't tell if someone is transgender just by looking. Transgender people don't look any certain way or come from any one background. Many transgender people do not appear \"\"visibly trans,\"\" meaning they are not perceived to be transgender by others. It is not possible to look around a room and \"\"see\"\" if there are any transgender people. ( It would be like a person looking around the room to \"\"see\"\" if there are any gay people.) You should assume that there may be transgender people at any gathering. Don't make assumptions about a transgender person's sexual orientation."

Waters even began his manuscript with an unattributed quotation (which was preserved in his book) that implied a promise to honor the integrity of her story: \"\"Old-timers complain that writers say that they want historical facts. They tell the writers a true story, but the story it can 't hardly be recognized as being what was told whet, the book is finished. \"\" Ironically, The Earp Brothers of Tombstone, the version of \"\"Aunt Allie's\"\" story which was eventually published in 1960 almost thirty years after Waters began his collaboration with her, is a monument to the accuracy of the statement. His book is not one story, but two. The first is Aunt Allie's unadorned, straightforward account of her life, relating the things that were important to her. The other is the story that Frank Waters believed strongly should be told, an expose of the Wyatt Earp legend as portrayed in Stuart N. Lake's Wyatt Earp: Frontier Marshal which he believed was a \"\"disgraceful indictment of the thousands of true Arizona pioneers whose lives and written protests refute every discolored incident in it. \"\""

"text": "\"Education & Reference Trivia What is D-Day? What does the d in d-day stand for? Follow 16 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: D-Day is a term often used in military parlance to denote the day on which a combat attack or operation is to be initiated. \"\" D-Day\"\" often represents a variable, designating the day upon which some significant event will occur or has occurred; see Military designation of days and hours for similar terms. The initial D in D-Day has had various meanings in the past, while more recently it has obtained the connotation of \"\"Day\"\" itself, thereby creating the phrase \"\"Day-Day\"\", or \"\"Day of Days\"\". [ 1] By far, the best known D-Day is June 6, 1944 — the day on which the Invasion of Normandy began — commencing the Western Allied effort to liberate mainland Europe from Nazi occupation during World War II. However, many other invasions and operations had a designated D-Day, both before and after that operation. The terms D-Day and H-Hour are used for the day and hour on which a combat attack or operation is to be initiated. They designate the day and hour of the operation when the day and hour have not yet been determined, or where secrecy is essential. There is but one D-Day and one H-Hour for all units participating in a given operation."

"text": "\" [–] De Soulis Quality Contributor 0 points 3 years ago The simple answer is they are willing to throw money on things which looks impressive regardless of their actual military value. The Germans came up with a lot more \"\"flashy\"\" weapons but were pretty useless in actual combat. The V2 rocket was incredibly innovative but ultimately of very little military value in the war. The sole exception that comes to mind is the Me-262, but the Americans/British were only a few months behind the Germans, see the British Meteor or the American P-80 Shooting star. The allies had some significant technological lead over the Germans, the best examples is obviously the Atomic bomb. But here was also the time delayed proximity fuse which were significant improvement over German AA ammunition. There was also of course, the radar, ULTRA decryption, penicillin, Norden Bombsight, better electronic firing systems etc. So basically the allies did have technological lead, they are just more practical than German designs.permalink embed save [–] yrotsi H 2 points 3 years ago *\"\"The sole exception that comes to mind is the Me-262\"\"Thats not true. \"\" So basically the allies did have technological lead, they are just more practical than German designs. \"\" How do you get this conclusion.permalink embed save parent [–] iamiamwhoami [ S] 2 points 3 years ago Well in what other ways were the Germans more advanced than the allies?permalink embed save parent [–] yrotsi H 2 points 3 years ago *First of all the war lasted for quite a while and in different fields the technological superiority switched from time to time."

Winfrey was presented with the Cecil B. De Mille Award, making her the first black woman honored since the award’s inception in 1952.“What I know for sure is that speaking your truth is the most powerful tool we all have. And I’m especially proud and inspired by all the women who have felt strong enough and empowered enough to speak up and share their personal stories. Each of us in this room are celebrated because of the stories that we tell. And this year we became the story,” she said on stage. “But it’s not just a story affecting the entertainment industry. It’s one that transcends any culture, geography, race, religion, politics, or workplace. So I want tonight to express gratitude to all the women who have endured years of abuse and assault because they, like my mother, had children to feed and bills to pay and dreams to pursue. “They’re the women whose names we’ll never know. They are domestic workers and farm workers."

With classical training, years of work on the London stage, an acclaimed television series, and dozens of films to her name, Mirren has proven herself an actress of talent, versatility, and unforgettable presence. Born Ilynea Lydia Mironoff on July 26, 1945, in London, Mirren is a descendant of the White Russian nobility. Her father was a member of an aristocratic Russian military family who came to England during the Russian Revolution, but while Mirren was growing up, he worked in turn as a violinist with the London Philharmonic, a taxi driver, and a driving instructor. His daughter, on the other hand, knew her true calling by the age of six, when she realized she wanted to become an actress, in the \"\"old-fashioned and traditional sense.\"\" After trying to please her parents with a stint at a teacher's college, Mirren joined the National Youth Theatre, where she first made her mark playing Cleopatra. The acclaim for her performance led the way to other work, and she was soon a member of the vaunted Royal Shakespeare Company, with whom she performed a wide range of classics. Her stage career thriving, Mirren made her screen debut in 1968 in the somewhat forgettable Herostratus. The same year, she made a more auspicious appearance as Hermia in Peter Hall's lauded adaptation of A Midsummer Night's Dream, and her screen career soon took off. She worked steadily throughout the late '60s and '70s, starring in 1969's Age of Consent and working with such directors as Robert Altman on The Long Goodbye (1973) and Lindsay Anderson on O Lucky Man!

"text": "\"An original print is a work of art created by hand and printed by hand, either by the artist or by a professional assistant (often called an artisan), from a plate, block, stone, or stencil that has been hand created by the artist for the sole purpose of producing the desired image. The plates or stencils it is printed from bear no resemblance to the finished work of art, which means it is not a copy or a reproduction of anything. In fact, in all print media but two, the image on the matrix (what the print is produced from) is mirror image or backwards from what the finished work will be. The image reverses in the printing process so the artist has to think and draw backwards. Each print produced is technically a unique work although produced as a signed and numbered multiple. The technical term for this is monoprint. The original print is usually produced as a limited number of impressions , another word for print. The term for this group of prints is the edition . Although there are many of the same image in an edition, each print is an individual part of the whole, the whole being the edition. An original print is actually one piece of a multiple original work of art."

When used in combination with the lithographic process, which is based on the repulsion of oil and water, the offset technique employs a flat ( planographic) image carrier on which the image to be printed obtains ink from ink rollers, while the non-printing area attracts a water-based film (called \"\"fountain solution\"\"), keeping the non-printing areas ink-free. The modern \"\"web\"\" process feeds a large reel of paper through a large press machine in several parts, typically for several metres, which then prints continuously as the paper is fed through. Development of the offset press came in two versions: in 1875 by Robert Barclay of England for printing on tin, and in 1904 by Ira Washington Rubel of the United States for printing on paper.

"text": "\"Anything Frank Jones' for this local beer fanatic Sunday Jan 23, 2005 at 2:00 AM Feb 1, 2011 at 12:47 AMElizabeth Dinan PORTSMOUTH � When Rus Hammer opened the first Portsmouth restaurant to bear his name - Rusty Hammer - in 1978, he served his first of thousands of \"\"Wimpy Burgers.\"\" He also found a treasure in the basement of the old 31 Pleasant St. location, something someone else might have put out with the trash. It was an old cardboard sign with the image of a Frank Jones beer bottle, posed next to a sandwich. The advertisement for the 19th century Portsmouth brewery now hangs at Hammer's 49 Pleasant St. location. And since finding it, he's developed a craving for collecting beer-related items - bottle caps, bottles, advertisements, bottle openers, trays, prints - known collectively in the antiques and collectibles world as \"\"breweriana.\"\" Fifteen years later, Hammer was snooping around a Maine antique shop when he saw a lithograph featuring \"\"three little girls\"\" in another Frank Jones Beer advertisement. The next day he went back, bought it and learned from the owner about clubs that were forming for beer paraphernalia collectors to swap and sell their beer collectibles. Hammer signed up with a couple of them and has been swapping and selling the stuff since. \"\" I have a hundred or more pieces, mostly (from) New Hampshire breweries,\"\" Hammer said. \"\" I've got some very early stuff.\"\""

To disable this, open an elevated command prompt (cmd as admin) and type in the following commands, in order:netsh wlan stop hostednetwork This stops the hosted networknetsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=disallow This disables the hotspot.

Then look no further, as we have all kinds of Pokemon Crystal game cheats and guides for the first Game Boy Color sequel to the original Pokemon Game Boy games that started it all. RARE POKEMON LOCATIONS LIST (May not work with Pokemon Crystal version)Watch The Latest Gaming News:1. Where to Catch Ho-oh There is only one Ho-oh in Gold and Silver, so make sure you catch it. You can find it on top of the Tin Tower, but you’ll need the Rainbow Wing to go up there. You get the Rainbow Wing from the Radio Station Manager in Goldenrod City (Gold version) or the old man in Pewter City (Silver version). 2. Where to Catch Lugia You can find Lugia in Whirl Island, off Route 41. You’ll need to know the HM 06 Whirpool technique to get in as well as the Silver Wing. You can find the latter in Pewter City (Gold) or the Radio Station in Goldenrod City (Silver)."

When used in combination with the lithographic process, which is based on the repulsion of oil and water, the offset technique employs a flat ( planographic) image carrier on which the image to be printed obtains ink from ink rollers, while the non-printing area attracts a water-based film (called \"\"fountain solution\"\"), keeping the non-printing areas ink-free. The modern \"\"web\"\" process feeds a large reel of paper through a large press machine in several parts, typically for several metres, which then prints continuously as the paper is fed through. Development of the offset press came in two versions: in 1875 by Robert Barclay of England for printing on tin, and in 1904 by Ira Washington Rubel of the United States for printing on paper.

( 5.0kg)Gender distribution Ability Levitate First Appearance Pokémon Gold and Silver The names Unown and Unknown refer to the English word unknown (meaning \"\"not known\"\"). Contents [ show]Characteristics Pokédex data states the variety of their abilities. In fact, all Unown have only one move, called Hidden Power, which can be of a different type depending on the IVs (Individual Values) of a Pokémon. The Pokédex also states some sort of causal relationship between Unown and ancient hieroglyphic writings. Information from their anime and movie appearances suggest that Unown are Pokémon which appear only in mysterious locations, and are never seen without the presence of other Unown in the area. What is known about these beings is that they have the amazing ability to create new realities and dimensions with their particular brand of psychic powers. They appear to have synchronized minds as well. Sometimes a swarm of them appear and act in perfect unison to create psychic effects beyond the imagination, including projecting illusionary beings such as other Pokémon that seem genuinely corporeal to the touch. In Pokémon 3: Spell of the Unown, one of the characters, Professor Hale, is thrown into an another dimension with many Unown circling around him."

"text": "Alpha galactosidase is an enzyme that has several different functions. It is used by intestinal microorganisms to degrade the sugars in the complex carbohydrates found in vegetables and grains. This process often leads to the production of gases that can cause bloating and flatulence. This temporary condition may be treatable with dietary supplements containing alpha galactosidase. The absence of this enzyme can cause a genetic disorder known as Fabry’s disease. Complex carbohydrates, like beans, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and whole grains, are composed of many complex sugars. These sugars are present as polysaccharides, long chains of sugars, and oligosaccharides, shorter chains. They are degraded by various enzymes to smaller units. The end goal is for them to be degraded to monosaccharides — which are single molecules of sugars, such as glucose and galactose — that can be absorbed by intestinal cells and used as energy sources. The sugars are joined in an alpha galactoside linkage."

De Francesco Juan M. Mucci Romina Ceci Carlos A. Fossati Paula A. Rozenfeld Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.ymgme.2013.02.003 Get rights and content Abstract Fabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal disorder (LD) due to deficiency of the enzyme α-galactosidase A (αGal), which leads to the accumulation of neutral glycosphingolipids, mainly globotriaosylceramide (Gb3). Several mechanisms contribute to the diverse physiopathological alterations observed in this disease, and it has been suggested that an underlying proinflammatory state could play a significant role. The aim of this study is to investigate the presence of a proinflammatory state in the different subsets of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and to understand the mechanisms that contribute to its onset and perpetuation. We have shown that cultured PBMC from Fabry patients present a higher proinflammatory cytokine expression and production. Moreover, we determined that among PBMC, dendritic cells and monocytes present a basal proinflammatory cytokine production profile, which is further exacerbated with an inflammatory stimulus. Finally we established that normal, monocyte-derived dendritic cells and macrophages display the same proinflammatory profile when cultured in the presence of Gb3 and an inhibitor of αGal. Furthermore, this effect can be abolished using a TLR4 blocking antibody, indicating that TLR4 is necessary in the process. In summary, our results demonstrate the presence of a proinflammatory state involving two key subsets of innate immunity, and provide direct evidence of Gb3 having a proinflammatory role, likely mediated by TLR4, a finding that could help in the understanding of the underlying causes of the inflammatory pathogenesis of Fabry disease. Highlights► PBMC from Fabry patients present a higher proinflammatory cytokine profile. ► Dendritic cells and monocytes from Fabry patients secrete proinflammatory cytokines."

"text": "Could your intestinal gas and bloating be a result of Complex Carbohydrate Intolerance or Lactose Intolerance? As more and more people are realizing the importance of healthy eating, many of us have discovered that some of the same foods that are so good for us can often cause gas, bloating, and considerable discomfort. Complex Carbohydrates When bloating and discomfort happens because of eating vegetables, legumes, grains, cereals, nuts, and seeds – which contain complex carbohydrates – we call this condition Complex Carbohydrate Intolerance (CCI). CCI occurs because we lack the enzyme necessary to digest complex carbohydrates. There is little gas production in the small intestine because the bacterial concentration is low. When the undigested carbohydrates reach the colon, the bacteria that normally live in the colon ferment them. This fermentation often results in the production of gas – similar to the production of bubbles in the fermenting of grapes into champagne. The buildup of gas in the colon results in discomfort, bloating, and sometimes pain. Many people do not know what Complex Carbohydrate Intolerance is and therefore do not know how to treat it effectively. Fortunately, there is a product that can help prevent the symptoms of CCI by providing the missing enzyme needed to fully digest foods containing complex carbohydrates."

Share Email Feedback Sections Overview Classification of Lysosomal Storage Diseases Glycogen Storage Disease Type III-Cell Disease and Pseudo-Hurler Polydystrophy Schindler Disease Alpha-Mannosidosis and Beta-Mannosidosis Wolman Disease and Cholesteryl Ester Storage Disease Show All References Overview Lysosomes are subcellular organelles responsible for the physiologic turnover of cell constituents. They contain catabolic enzymes, which require a low p H environment in order to function optimally. Lysosomal storage diseases describe a heterogeneous group of dozens of rare inherited disorders characterized by the accumulation of undigested or partially digested macromolecules, which ultimately results in cellular dysfunction and clinical abnormalities. Organomegaly, connective-tissue and ocular pathology, and central nervous system dysfunction may result. Classically, lysosomal storage diseases encompassed only enzyme deficiencies of the lysosomal hydrolases. More recently, the concept of lysosomal storage disease has been expanded to include deficiencies or defects in proteins necessary for the normal post-translational modification of lysosomal enzymes (which themselves are often glycoproteins), activator proteins, or proteins important for proper intracellular trafficking between the lysosome and other intracellular compartments. More than 50 lysosomal storage diseases have been described, some of which are discussed in this article. Age of onset and clinical manifestations may vary widely among patients with a given lysosomal storage disease, and significant phenotypic heterogeneity between family members carrying identical mutations has been reported. Lysosomal storage diseases are generally classified by the accumulated substrate and include the sphingolipidoses, oligosaccharidoses, mucolipidoses, mucopolysaccharidoses (MPSs), lipoprotein storage disorders, lysosomal transport defects, neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses and others. New developments Therapy is increasingly promising, albeit expensive."

"text": "Alpha-Galactosidase Tweet Alpha-galactosidase is an enzyme, which is derived from the fungus Aspergillus niger. It’s a homodimeric glycoprotein and it hydrolyzes the terminal alpha-galactosyl moieties (in chemistry moiety is defined as a functional group on a molecule) from glycolipids and glycoproteins. These moieties are complex or branching sugars (polysaccharides and oligosaccharides) in legumes (beans, lentils, peanuts) and cruciferous vegetables (cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts). The enzyme breaks down these complex sugars into simple sugars, which makes them more digestible. Otherwise,they would pass through the small intestine unaffected. In the large intestine the complex sugars may be metabolized by intestinal flora, fermenting them to produce gas. Alpha-glactosidase is found in many enzyme supplements including Enzyme Gold®. It’s the main ingredient found in Beano® Food Enzyme Dietary Supplement Tablets. One Beano® tablet contains 150 GALU of alpha-galactosidase. Alpha-galactosidase Molecule Beano® is swallowed, chewed or crumbled onto food and the typical dose is three tablets per meal."

Then I got referred to a gastroenterologist. Took Aciphex for 2 weeks, also with no effect on the belching. I also began to feel pain in my chest a lot and felt some difficulty breathing.

This enzyme is essential to the metabolism of a fat compound known as globotriaosylceramide. Without alpha-galactosidase A, this fatty substance accumulates in the walls of blood vessels, leading to narrowing and decreased blood flow to the tissues normally supplied by these vessels. Small vessels in the skin, kidneys, heart, and nervous system are preferentially affected, impairing function of these organs. Males with Fabry disease are more severely affected than females with it because the gene for Fabry disease is on the X chromosome. Males have only one X, whereas females have a second X and therefore some enzyme activity. Females with partial enzyme activity may not show any symptoms, or may have symptoms as severe as affected males. Diagnosis is made by determining the level of alpha-galactosidase A in blood plasma or through genetic testing. Symptoms may include blood vessel-filled skin lesions known as angiokeratomas over the hips, buttocks, thighs, and lower belly with fever accompanying attacks of pain in the fingers and toes. Potentially life-threatening complications such as stroke, heart failure, and kidney 'failure may also occur."

Intestinal gas, appropriately called “flatulence” can sometimes be caused simply by the swallowing of excess air while eating or drinking or when one is nervous. Although this can be the cause in some situations, most often, gas is caused by incomplete digestion. When food is not completely digested before it reaches the large intestine, it may ferment, and produce gas as a by-product. This often happens after the intake of certain foods."

Abstract The molecular weight of Escherichia coli β-galactosidase was determined in 6 m - and 8 m -guanidine hydrochloride by meniscus-depletion sedimentation equilibrium, sedimentation velocity and viscosity. Sedimentation equilibrium revealed heterogeneity with the smallest component having a molecular weight of about 50000. At lower speeds, the apparent weight-average molecular weight is about 80000. By use of a calculation based on an empirical correlation for proteins that are random coils in 6 m -guanidine hydrochloride, sedimentation velocity gave a molecular weight of 91000, and the intrinsic viscosity indicated a viscosity-average molecular weight of 84000. Heating in 6 m -guanidine hydrochloride lowered the viscosity of β-galactosidase in a variable manner. Full text Full text is available as a scanned copy of the original print version.

The monosaccharide is also bound to caseins, and therefore it is found in all dairy products. Findings from studies conducted since the 50s of last century have shown that galactose is present not only in milk and dairy products, but also in plant products such as legumes, grains, nuts, tubers and vegetables.

Aside from eating gassy foods and being lactose intolerant, there are many medical conditions that cause bloating and abdominal pain. As such, if you have frequent gas pains, make an appointment with your family physician and get a physical examination in order to rule out anything serious. Medical conditions that typically cause bloating and stomach pain include gastrointestinal infections (viral, bacterial and parasitic), stomach ulcers, intestinal blockage, irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, food allergies, intestinal or stomach cancer, gallbladder disease and acid reflux. [ 7]If your gas pains are caused by an infection or food poisoning, your doctor might recommend short-term antibiotics. However, over-use of antibiotics kills friendly intestinal bacteria and can actually lead to more GI symptoms. [ 8]Certain medications often lead to bloating and flatulence such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (ibuprofen, naproxen), laxatives, antifungal medicines and statins (for high cholesterol), so talk to your doctor about your prescriptions drugs.

Alpha-1 agonists with peripheral effects Drugs activating alpha-1 adrenergic receptors cause vasoconstriction, uterine contractions, mydriasis. Vasoconstriction The vasoconstrictive effect leads to a certain number of therapeutic uses: Treatment of postural hypotension: The principal products used for their vasoconstrictive effect in the treatment of postural hypotension are phenylephrine, etilefrine and midodrine. Phenylephrine, also known as neosynephrine, has been used by oral and parenteral routes. Etilefrine, isomer of phenylephrine, has similar properties and is also proposed in the treatment of postural hypotension. Midodrine (which is written sometimes mitodrine) is used orally in the treatment of severe orthostatic hypotensions occurring in degenerative diseases. In injectable form, mitodrine has a particular therapeutic use: to transform a retrograde ejaculation into an anterograde ejaculation by reinforcement of vesical sphincter tone. The danger of mitodrine injection is to elicit vasoconstriction and arterial hypertension especially in lying position. These products can give palpitations, tachycardia, headache.

SSRIs block the re-uptake of Serotonin molecules and make up for the reduced quantity. If you have gradually weaned off Paroxetine with adequate symptom control, the Serotonin levels should be back to normal, as per the hypothesis. There is enough evidence to conclude that SSRIs lead to complete symptom resolution. Read More Hi, welcome to the forum, Epipen delivers a measured dose of epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) using autoinjector technology, most frequently for the treatment of acute allergic reactions to avoid or treat the onset of anaphylactic shock. In certain cases it can be used to stop local bleeding. Epinephrine is known to act on the uterus through beta 2 receptors and can cause relaxation of the uterus. At term, it can prevent the contraction and delay the labor. Read More Amlodipine, on the other hand, is a calcium channel blocker (clonidine is an alpha-2 agonist-- affecting receptors for epinephrine) and the two meds have completely different actions. Clonidine seems to reduce ALL withdrawal symptoms by about a third."

Readers Comment 1 Share Your Story Any underlying disease or condition that may cause loss of bladder control must be treated. For example, antibiotics are necessary for treatment of urinary tract infections, and drugs that specifically decrease symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate gland may decrease urinary urgency. Drug treatment may be directed to relax the bladder so it can hold more urine, decreasing the need for frequent urination. Other drugs help tighten the sphincter muscles to avoid uncontrolled urine leakage. Still other drugs are used to help empty the bladder for conditions in which the bladder does not empty completely."

"title": "http://www.suboxoneassistedtreatment.org/29.html\nAgonists And Antagonists",
"text": "\"Agonists And Antagonists What's the difference between an opiate agonist and an opiate antagonist? An agonist is an agent that binds to a receptor and activates that receptor in order to elicit an effect (typically transmitting a signal to the inside of the cell, either by opening a channel to allow ions to flow in/out, or changing the receptor's shape to cause a cascade of intracellular events to occur). Drugs that are agonists essentially mimic the action of the endogenous (naturally occuring) neurotransmitters, typically with the same or a stronger affinity than the neurotransmitter itself. An antagonist is an agent that binds to a receptor but does not elicit the response that the neurotransmitter or an agonist would cause. The antagonist blocks the receptor and prevemts activation by neurotransmitters or other drugs. So in the case of opiates, lets look at the opiate agonist, morphine. When morphine enters the brain, it binds to opiate receptors and activates them. This binding is what produces the effects of Morphine. In the case of a Morphine overdose, where a hospital is concerned that the high dose of morphine may be dangerous (depressing breathing and heartrate), they may administer Naloxone ( an opiate antagonist). The Naloxone finds its way to your opiate receptors and \"\"competes\"\" with Morphine for binding of the receptors."

Alpha-receptors are located on the arteries. When the alpha receptor is stimulated by epinephrine or norepinephrine, the arteries constrict. This increases the blood pressure and the blood flow returning to the heart. The blood vessels in skeletal muscles lack alpha-receptors because they need to stay open to utilize the increased blood pumped by the heart. Fight or flight Remember the fight or flight response?"

"text": "Home Tutorials Search Author Alpha-Adrenoceptor Agonists (α-agonists)General Pharmacology Alpha-adrenoceptor agonists (α-agonists) bind to α-receptors on vascular smooth muscle and induce smooth contraction and vasoconstriction, thus mimicking the effects of sympathetic adrenergic nerve activation to the blood vessels. Vascular smooth muscle has two types of alpha-adrenoceptors: alpha 1 (α 1) and alpha 2 (α 2 ). The α 1 -adrenoceptors are the predominant α-receptor located on vascular smooth muscle. These receptors are linked to Gq-proteins that activate smooth muscle contraction through the IP 3signal transduction pathway. Depending on the tissue and type of vessel, there are also α 2 -adrenoceptors found on the smooth muscle. These receptors are linked to Gi-proteins, and binding of an alpha-agonist to these receptors decreases intracellular c AMP, which causes smooth muscle contraction. There are also α 2 -adrenoceptors located on the sympathetic nerve terminals that inhibit the release of norepinephrine and therefore act as a feedback mechanism for modulating the release of norepinephrine. Alpha-agonists constrict both arteries and veins; however, the vasoconstrictor effect is more pronounced in the arterial resistance vessels. Constriction of the resistance vessels (small arteries and arterioles) increases systemic vascular resistance, whereas constriction of the venous capacitance vessels increases venous pressure. Specific Drugs and Therapeutic Uses Most α-agonists used therapeutically are relatively selective for either α 1 or α 2 -adrenoceptors."

They are GABA agonists meaning they somewhat mimic the action of gamma -Aminobutyric acid, the inhibitory neurotransmitter and thereby induce sleepiness. In the historical timeline of insomnia treatment, these drugs came along after the benzodiazepines. They are better because the side effects are less severe and the not as habit forming. ( Benzodiazepines still have a place in medicine for treatment of anxiety and are still used for insomnia, too. ) These drugs are sometimes referred to as non-benzodiazepine hypnotics or just non-benzodiazepines.

"text": "Related Topics: ACE Inhibitor Antihypertensive Recently Answered Q How can alpha-adrenergic agonists help treat urinary incontinence?3 Answers A Dr. May M. Wakamatsu, MD , Gynecology, answered Found in some popular cold medicines, alpha-adrenergic agonists are not designed specifically to treat incontinence. But women with stress incontinence and some men who have undergone prostate removal may find these medications help relieve their symptoms. Alpha-adrenergic agonists mimic the effects of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine, which, among other things, stimulates the muscles around the bladder neck (the junction of the bladder and the urethra) and urethra (the tube that connects the bladder to the outside of the body) to contract and form a tighter seal to keep urine in. One alpha-adrenergic agonist, pseudoephedrine, is an ingredient in cold and allergy remedies such as Sudafed. Some people take pseudoephedrine occasionally to minimize stress incontinence. You should check with your doctor before taking pseudoephedrine especially if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure. See All 3 Answers Q Do thiazide diuretics have any side effects?2 Answers A Intermountain Healthcare answered Thiazides are a class of medications which work in the kidneys to increase the amout of salt and water you put out in our urine. There are several medications in this category, most of which are very inexpensive and often combined with other blood pressure lowering agents. Thiazides are recommended for mild high blood pressure and reducing tissue swelling (edema). Thiazides are well tolerated, but like all medications, you can have an allergic reaction such as rash, itching, or swelling -- particularly if you have a sulfa allergy."

"text": "Back to issue How Medications Impact Libido JUNE 15, 2010Dawn Knudsen, Pharm D, CGPFemale sexual dysfunction (FSD) is a multifaceted and poorly understood condition. Female sexual function requires the harmony of the physical, emotional, and social aspects of the patient. A woman’s “sexual self and self-image, intimate relationships, family, society, and culture” and “the complexities of her environment, sexual and partner history, past relationships, mental health status, current medical problems, and hormonal status” all impact female sexual function. 1 In men, “the pathways that lead to arousal and orgasm have been mapped,” 2 but this information is lacking for the female body. FSD was categorized into 4 types by the 1994 Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition: those affecting desire, arousal, and orgasm and a type associated with sexual pain. 3 Loss of libido or decreased sexual desire can be a serious adverse effect that impacts both men and women and can lead to decreased quality of life or relationship dysfunction. “ Libido problems may be related to hypogonadism, hyperprolactinemia, depression, fear of sexual failure, certain medications, or systemic illness.” 4 Many medications can be a cause of decreased or loss of libido. Loss of libido is inherently connected with all other aspects of sexual dysfunction, although it cannot be assumed that all medications that list sexual dysfunction as an adverse effect include specifically loss of libido. Patients can have orgasm dysfunction (anorgasmia) or erectile dysfunction without loss of libido, and some medications can affect just libido, just erectile function, or just orgasm function, whereas others can affect any combination."

If we would move the comp-x field to a numeric field, that is defined as Pic 9 (13), and then move this to the alphanumeric field it moves all 13 digits correctly. There seems to be a bug in the way that Micofocus moves the comp-x field to alphanumeric. Is there a compile setting that must be used to get the correct behavior? Reply All Responses Answers Only Bruce. Sinclair 10 Apr 2014 22:20This is not a bug. PIC X (5) COMP-X only handles 12 digits fully; because it's binary, it partially handles the thirteenth digit, but cannot handle a number 9999999999999 (13 nines). Its maximum value is 1099511627775 (a 12-digit number) with the value h\"\"FFFFFFFFFF\"\" (10 hex-digits). Thus the compiler assigns a digit-length of 12."

"text": "\"Who in the heck uses half-width alphanumeric input? If you write Japanese, you'll be familiar with using a front-end-processor (FEP) to input Japanese text. On Windows, this is typically the IME. Selecting the kanji for koutei in the IMEIME lets you choose between various \"\"input methods\"\": direct input (normal keyboard typing), hiragana (which can be converted to kanji as needed), katakana, and so on. With the exception of direct input, you have to enter characters and then accept your input after performing various conversions on it. For example, to enter kanji characters (which are far too numerous to correspond to single keys on a keyboard), you enter how the kanji is pronounced, and then select the correct kanji for that pronunciation (of which there may be many). The most useless input method has got to be \"\"half-width alphanumeric.\"\" Under this input method, what you type at the keyboard is entered just like with direct input, except you've got to \"\"accept\"\" every string you type. I can't see any reason why someone would want to use this input method. If you want to enter half-width alphanumeric characters, you would go to direct input and type them normally."

"text": "The term “alphanumeric” is used to refer to the collective set of 26 Latin letters and 10 Arabic numerals used by many nations around the world. The text in this article is alphanumeric, as it includes both letters and numbers. Often, consumers are also encouraged to use such codes as passwords, as codes that mix letters and numbers are typically more difficult to break than those with just one or the other. Many human communications use this code, just as many people do every time they write down their name and phone number or give someone their address. Arabic numerals have been used to record numbers for centuries, although they did not reach the West until around the 12th century. It took several more centuries for numerals to become widely accepted. In addition to serving as an efficient and easier to read alternative to Roman numerals, Arabic numbers also contained the important concept of zero. There are ten digits, meaning that the numeral system they represent is a base 10 number system. The Latin alphabet has also been in development for centuries and is widely used for written communication in many languages. Early attempts at using the Latin alphabet for numbers, including Roman numerals, were less than successful."

A regular expression is a pattern of text that describes one or more variations of text or code that you want to find. A regular expression consists of specific characters — for example, the letters \"\"a\"\" through \"\"z\"\" — and special characters that describe the pattern of text — for example, an asterisk (*).

As the name indicates, an alpha-numeric password is simply a string of letters and digits. Although almost any string can serve as a password, these passwords only offer good security as long as they are complicated enough so that they cannot be deduced or guessed. Commonly used guidelines for alpha-numeric passwords are: The password should be at least 8 characters long. The password should not be easy to relate to the user (e.g., last name, birth date). The password should not be a word that can be found in a dictionary or public directory. Ideally, the user should combine upper and lower case letters and digits."

In a nutshell, matching numbers refers to the various codes and dates found on all the major driveline components. These include the engine, transmission and rear-axle assembly. The engine components themselves (block, heads and intake) will have various casting numbers, date codes, and an engine identification code, all of which are important and should be correct if the car is to be considered numbers matching.

Liver function tests ICD-10-PCS K-70 to K-77Me SH D008111Medline Plus 003436 [ edit on Wikidata]Liver function tests ( LFTs or LFs) are groups of blood tests that give information about the state of a patient's liver. [ 1] These tests include prothrombin time (PT/INR), a PTT, albumin, bilirubin (direct and indirect), and others. The liver transaminases aspartate transaminase (AST or SGOT) and alanine transaminase (ALT or SGPT) are useful biomarkers of liver injury in a patient with some degree of intact liver function. [ 2] [3] [4] Most liver diseases cause only mild symptoms initially, but these diseases must be detected early. Hepatic (liver) involvement in some diseases can be of crucial importance. This testing is performed on a patient's blood sample. Some tests are associated with functionality (e.g., albumin), some with cellular integrity (e.g., transaminase ), and some with conditions linked to the biliary tract ( gamma-glutamyl transferase and alkaline phosphatase ). Several biochemical tests are useful in the evaluation and management of patients with hepatic dysfunction."

"text": "Elevated Liver Enzymes & Itchy Skinby SHARON PERKINS Aug. 14, 2017Elevated liver enzymes generally indicate some abnormality with the organ. Your liver enzymes rise when damage to liver cells releases them into the bloodstream. You often experience itching skin if you have severe jaundice, another indicator of liver disease. Jaundice occurs when levels of bilirubin, produced from the breakdown of red blood cells, rise, either because of a blockage in your bile ducts or from liver damage. Symptoms of liver disease can occur if you have taken medications that can harm the liver, or in acute illnesses such as hepatitis A or chronic liver diseases like cirrhosis. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Types of Liver Enzymes A routine liver function panel includes four tests: aspartate aminotransferase (AST), or SGOT; alanine aminotransferase (ALT), or SGPT; alkaline phosphatase (ALP), or AP; and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT). While ALT comes mainly from the liver, AST is also found in the heart, kidneys and muscles, so an elevation of AST is less diagnostic for liver disease than an elevation of ALT. Elevations of GGT and ALP often occur when damage affects the bile ducts connected to the liver. While GGT occurs mostly in the liver, ALP is also found in bones, intestines and kidneys. ALT readings normally range from 0 to 45 IU/L while AST falls between 0 and 40 IU/L. The normal ALP range is from 35 to 115 IU/L, and GGT from 3 to 60 IU/L. Bilirubin and Itching Bilirubin is a byproduct of the breakdown of old red blood cells."

"text": "\"Liver Test Interpretation - Approach to the Patient with Liver Disease: A Guide to Commonly Used Liver Tests Arvind R. Murali, MDWilliam D. Carey, MDPublished: April 2014 Last Reviewed: August 2017Contents Laboratory assessment of the patient with suspected or clinically obvious liver disease is context dependent. For example, the acutely ill jaundiced patient with a history of prolonged alcohol ingestion requires a different laboratory assessment than the well patient in whom one or more standard liver test results are discovered to be abnormal during routine testing. Additionally, the sequence of liver tests depends heavily on the questions being asked. If it is to determine whether this well person whose brother was recently diagnosed with hemochromatosis also has this genetic disease, then a series of tests will be initiated to detect the possibility of iron overload. If it is to determine whether this spouse has been infected with hepatitis B, then blood tests related to hepatitis B will be required. Thus generic algorithms for the evaluation of liver disease need to be considered skeptically. This chapter is intended to discuss a useful way of thinking about liver tests. It emphasizes limitations of and alternative explanations for isolated abnormalities of common liver test results. It also provides information on the initial screening test to be chosen, their interpretation, and the tests needed to confirm the diagnosis of common liver disorders based on current recommendations. Information in this chapter should be combined with discussions of specific liver diseases in the Disease Management."

"text": "\"Hepatitis Causes & Diagnosis Using Liver Enzymes AST and ALT to Diagnose Liver Damage and Disease A Look at AST and ALTBy Charles Daniel Updated June 16, 2017Share Pin Email Print Science Picture Co / Getty Images Liver enzymes are substances produced by the liver that can be measured through a blood test. Measurement of these enzymes circulating in your blood allows doctors to learn about the health of your liver. There are thousands of these enzymes in the liver and blood stream, but two of them— aminotransferases AST and ALT—are especially useful for identifying liver damage and disease. What Are Aminotransferases? Aminotransferases are chemicals the liver uses to help make the energy-storage molecule glycogen. Aspartate aminotransferase, or AST, is found in the liver, but also the brain, pancreas, heart, skeletal muscle, kidneys, and lungs. Alanine aminotransferase, or ALT, is primarily found in the liver. How Are Liver Enzymes Tested? To test for AST and ALT, a doctor needs to order an enzyme test, which usually consists of several additional tests like albumin, bilirubin, and prothrombin time. A technician will draw a sample of your blood and send it to a lab to be tested."

[ 37] Hematologic and coagulation studies also include a platelet count and a complete blood count (CBC). Ammonia levels may be obtained, but the results often create diagnostic confusion in clinicians. [ 38]Serologic tests for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBs Ag) and hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) immunoglobulin M (Ig M) are required for the diagnosis of acute hepatitis B virus (HBV). [ 1, 39, 40] HBs Ag is positive in both acute and chronic HBV infection; however, the presence of Ig M anti-HBc is diagnostic of acute or recently acquired infection. [ 39] Antibody to HBs Ag (anti-HBs) is produced after a resolved infection and is the only HBV antibody marker present after vaccination. The presence of HBs Ag and total anti-HBc, with a negative test for Ig M anti-HBc, indicates chronic HBV infection; the absence of Ig M anti-HBc or the persistence of HBs Ag for 6 months indicates chronic HBV infection. The presence of anti-HBc alone might indicate acute, resolved, or chronic infection or a false-positive result. [ 39]To evaluate the patient’s level of infectivity, quantification of hepatitis (HBV) DNA is essential, and the presence of hepatitis B e antigen (HBe Ag) should be determined. Indeed, the best indication of active viral replication is the presence of HBV DNA in the serum."

My AST is 17, which I was pleased with. My ALT is 29, which I'm not upset with, but always thought a value of 29 was slightly elevated (although still within normal range). I drink beer and wine (and am 2 year SVR), so I wasn't terribly surprised nor worried it was 29. But my ALT = 29 was flagged as being \"\"Low\"\", which did surprise me. It says the normal range for ALT is 30-65 U/L. I checked my old lab reports and sure enough they state normal ranges for ALT as 0-55 IU/L (Lab Corp) and 6-43 U/L (Covance). I did a quick google search and found a few websites that stated new limits have been set based on gender (with men having a normal value of 30 and women 19). Still, isn't it a bit confusing to flag ALT as \"\"Low\"\" when it's 29? Seems to me the normal range should essentially go down to zero, unless perhaps there's severe cirrhosis?"

Thus, development of a rational and cost-effective approach to these patients is important. Liver diseases are generally classified as hepatocellu-lar, cholestatic, and infiltrative. Cholestatic liver disease is further categorized as intrahepatic and extra-hepatic. Hepatocellular disease is characterized by transaminase increases greater than 5 times the upper limit of normal, with alkaline phosphatase levels usually increased less than 2 to 3 times the upper limit of normal. Cholestatic disease is characterized by an increase in the alkaline phosphatase level that is 3 to 5 times greater than the upper limit of normal, with only a mild increase of transaminases. The exception to this is cholestasis with cholangitis when the transaminases can be more substantially increased. In infiltrative diseases of the liver such as lymphoma or granulomatous hepatitis, the alkaline phosphatase level is increased disproportionately to that of the bilirubin. Specific etiologic diagnoses cannot usually be based on routine biochemical liver test results, and thus more specialized serum tests are necessary. A liver biopsy is often needed for a precise diagnosis in patients with long-term increases in liver test results."

A complete liver panel should include the aminotransferases (AST, ALT), Alkaline Phosphatase, Total bilirubin as well as tests of liver function: Albumin, Prothrombin time (PT) and international normalized ratio (INR). In general,, a liver enzyme panel should not be used as a screening test because of its low sensitivity and specificity for identifying clinically significant liver disease. Only a portion of healthy volunteers with a mild transaminitis will have clinically significant liver disease. Similarly, a significant degree of chronic liver injury can be hidden within mildly abnormal liver enzymes. The initial approach to elevated liver enzymes should determine the pattern of liver injury as either hepatocellular, cholestatic or both. Hepatocellular injury will typically cause elevated transaminases (AST/ALT) that are released into the serum as a result of liver cell injury or death. A cholestatic injury will cause an elevated alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin out of proportion to the level of transaminitis. This discussion will focus mainly on the interpretation of elevated transaminases or hepatocellular injury. While the transaminases are considered markers of acute hepatocellular injury, they can also become elevated in the setting of injury to muscle, kidney, brain, red blood cells and small bowel."

"text": "What Does High Enzymes Mean?by LINDSAY TADLOCK Aug. 14, 2017If your doctor says you have high enzymes, he is referring to an elevated liver enzyme level. High enzymes in your liver indicate damage to the cells or inflammation in your liver. Inflamed liver cells leak higher-than-normal amounts of liver enzymes into the bloodstream. This results in higher-than-normal enzyme level on your blood test. Several diseases result from high enzyme levels. Your doctor likely will perform additional tests to determine the cause of your high enzymes. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Types of Liver Enzymes Two types of liver enzymes are most commonly found: alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase . ALT is an enzyme found primarily in the liver that helps your body metabolize protein. ALT levels in the blood are normally low. Levels increase when the liver is damaged and ALT is released into the bloodstream."

"text": "\"for Veterans and the Public Understanding Lab Tests: Entire Lesson Laboratory tests: Overview Once you've been diagnosed with hepatitis C, your VA doctor probably will order a number of tests to learn about your overall health, to decide whether drug therapy is appropriate, and to learn about your body's internal functioning (including how well your liver is working). Some tests will be done very soon after you've been diagnosed with hepatitis C, while other tests will continue to be done on a regular basis. These tests will monitor your health and help you and your doctor decide when treatment is appropriate (or, if you've already begun treatment, whether it's working). In the following sections, you can learn about the tests, why your doctor may have ordered them, and what the results mean. Note: Normal values for laboratory tests can vary from one lab to another. Check with your doctor on the normal range for your lab tests. Tests of the liver If you have hepatitis C, most likely, your doctor will check blood tests of your liver. There's a handful of liver tests and it is helpful to know what each of them means. Here, we explain common liver blood tests and how to understand your results: Liver panel Liver enzymes Liver function tests (LFT)ALTASTBilirubin Albumin Prothrombin time Alkaline phosphatase INRPlatelets Total protein Liver panel A \"\"liver panel\"\" usually refers to several lab tests performed as a group.

Does this mean I have Liver Disease?\"\" So many come to the internet with this question, and while high liver enzymes can indicate a problem, there is more to reading them than one might think, and other tests that may be a better indicator of liver function and serious liver damage or disease. Liver enzymes are a fairly accurate indicator of \"\"recent\"\" inflammation and damage that has occurred in the days leading up to the time blood is drawn for the test. They are a rather poor indicator of cumulative damage and amount of functioning liver tissue actually present at the time of the test. Other factors can influence these enzymes too, like extreme exertion and physical activity prior to the test. A young man with a big healthy liver may spike liver enzymes that are SKY-HIGH coming off a substantial alcoholic binge, while an older man with advanced fibrosis may have enzymes in the normal range, even if he is still drinking. Why? It takes large amounts of liver tissue to generate large amounts of liver enzymes and a diseased liver may contain less than a third of the functioning tissue it did when it was healthy. The remaining tissue in a damaged liver will still give off enzymes when inflamed, but their cumulative output just can't match the amount of enzymes an intact liver can produce when it is inflamed."

The technologists at the two hospitals report hematology results on markedly lipemic specimens in different ways. One hospital spins a hematocrit and then manually replaces all hemoglobin parameters, such as hemoglobin, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, and mean corpuscular hemoglobin count, with asterisks so those results are unavailable. The other hospital does a saline replacement, where the specimen is spun down and the plasma removed and replaced with an equal amount of saline. The cellular elements are then resuspended and run on the analyzer, which reports the hemoglobin and associated parameters from the \"\"washed\"\" specimen. One of the pathologists in the first group is concerned that altering the specimen by taking off the lipemic plasma and introducing saline causes too many variables. I have spoken to technical specialists and received literature from the CAP, NCCLS, and ABX, the manufacturer of our hematology instrument. The CAP said we should determine how to report the results. NCCLS pamphlet H15-A31 mentions filtering specimens but does not address spun crits or saline replacement. ABX was neutral on the subject, stating the two methods were acceptable."

"text": "Title News Online Archive How to use ALTA’s Settlement Statements September 24, 2015As the Oct. 3 implementation date of the CFPB’s TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure (TRID) rule approaches, there has been talk about how the new ALTA Settlement Statements should be used in conjunction with the new CFPB forms. ALTA created model Settlement Statements based on the settlement statements that are used today in conjunction with the HUD-1. These Settlement Statements are intended to provide uniformity to the marketplace and may be used alongside the Closing Disclosure to help the industry meet its legal and regulatory obligations. If a Settlement Statement is used, the totals must match the Closing Disclosure. The ALTA Settlement Statements allow settlement agents to itemize all the fees and charges that both the homebuyer and seller face during the settlement process of a housing transaction. These statements were designed to be modified and expanded to allow settlement agents to show any fees that may be applicable in their regions, and to disclose items that are not otherwise disclosed on the CFPB’s Loan Estimate or Closing Disclosure forms. The Settlement Statements also allow the settlement agent to disclose information like disbursement dates or other important dates to the transaction, including recording dates and tax payoff dates. Another benefit of using the ALTA Settlement Statements is the ability to disclose the actual premiums of title insurance charged to the homebuyer or seller during the closing transaction. In the majority of states, the cost of a homebuyer’s title insurance premiums will be inaccurate on the Closing Disclosure form due to a mandatory calculation method imposed by the Bureau in situations where the lender’s and owner’s title insurance policies are simultaneously issued. Many state regulators require settlement agents to disclose the actual costs for each fee the homebuyer is responsible for paying."

"text": "How to Comply with the Closing Disclosure's Three-day Rule According to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s final rule, the creditor must deliver the Closing Disclosure to the consumer at least three business days prior to the date of consummation of the transaction. ( Note that the Closing Disclosure and Loan Estimate must be implemented by Oct. 3, 2015, on certain loans. In the final rule, the CFPB said creditors may use settlement agents to provide the Closing Disclosure, provided that the settlement agents comply with the final rule’s requirements for the Closing Disclosure. As an example, if settlement is scheduled for Thursday then the Closing Disclosure can be hand delivered on Monday. A company could also deliver the disclosure by courier or other shipping or postal service so long as a signature is obtained from the borrower showing receipt on Monday. If a company does not use a service that provides evidence that the disclosure was received on Monday (ie: U. S. Postal Service first class mail), then it must send the disclosure by the prior Thursday. Use the chart below to help you determine when the Closing Disclosure should be sent to ensure the buyer receives it three days prior to consummation of the transaction. Generally, if changes occur between the time the Closing Disclosure form is given and the closing, the consumer must be provided a new form. When that happens, the consumer must be given three additional business days to review that form before closing. The CFPB listened to ALTA concerns and limited the instances that would require a new Closing Disclosure to be issued."

Real estate agents have been accustomed to receiving a copy of the HUD-1 on behalf of their clients but this may no longer be automatic for the new CD. Lenders are now responsible for providing the CD to borrowers.

Buyers will receive a Closing Disclosure three days before a scheduled closing and they can share a copy with their real estate agent in order to go over the details of the transaction. Unfortunately, the CD is not a disbursement document, a function that the HUD-1 provided. NAR is discussing with the American Land Title Association (ALTA) about sharing a generic Settlement Statements that closing agents may use to disburse funds from transactions. Prior to TRID implementation, usage rates of these forms among closing agents were approaching 50%. Importantly, the generic ALTA Settlement Statements must be customized to accommodate state real estate laws and requirements."

( Photo: Getty Images)More By the time former Olympic gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar is sentenced on state charges for seven counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, nearly 150 of his sexual assault victims will have addressed him in court, giving victim impact statements aimed at helping them heal from their trauma. On Monday, the fifth day of the trial, Emma Ann Miller, 15, told Nassar, “I have never wanted to hate someone in my life, but my hate towards you is uncontrollable.” Nasser began abusing her when she was 10. “ You will probably never talk to a woman again, except for one holding a gun, a Taser and a billy club. Which is a good thing,” she added. According to CNN, the doctor admitted he was guilty of seven counts of criminal sexual conduct and to sexually abusing girls under the guise of providing medical treatment. He also pleaded guilty to three charges of criminal sexual conduct and has already been sentenced to 60 years in prison on federal child pornography charges. Judge Rosemarie Aquilina, who’s presiding over the case in Lansing, Mich., will hear statements from many of the women, given either by the women standing before Nasser or through letters read aloud in court. Over the past week, a number of women have stepped forward, such as Aly Raisman, who earned a round of applause for her 13 minutes of remarks. “"

"text": "\"Closing Protection Letters (CPLs)Tweet Email August 14, 2014 by SAARBy: Kim Eoff, Business Development Manager; Title365What is a CPL? A Closing Protection Letter is generated from the Title Company and provided to the Lender protecting them from actions of the named settlement agent only. In simple terms, it is an agreement indemnifying the lender against any issues arising from a closing agent’s negligence, fraud or error. Its purpose is to assure the lender that the title company will make necessary financial remediation should any misappropriation occur. What does a CPL Cover? It covers two areas: The first is, CPLs will protect against negligence, fraud or dishonesty regarding lenders’ funds or documents made by the title agent during that specific transaction. Secondly, it will also cover a title agents’ failure to follow closing instructions to which it affects the validity, or enforceability of the mortgage lien. Does a CPL only cover the Lender? According to the American Land Title Association (ALTA), CPLs may allow a lender, assignee, a purchaser of interest in land, or a lessee of an interest in land to be covered. Is there a time limit or liability limit of coverage?"

The most heavily disputed portion is highlighted. The Oregon boundary dispute or the Oregon Question was a controversy over the political division of the Pacific Northwest of North America between several nations that had competing territorial and commercial aspirations over the region. Expansionist competition into the region began in the 18th century, with participants including the Russian Empire, the United Kingdom, Spain and the United States. By the 1820s, both the Russians, through the Russo-American Treaty of 1824 and the Russo-British Treaty of 1825, and the Spanish, by the Adams–Onís Treaty of 1819, formally withdrew their territorial claims in the region. Through these treaties the British and Americans gained residual territorial claims in the disputed area. [ 1] The remaining portion of the North American Pacific coast contested by the United Kingdom and the United States was defined as the following: west of the Continental Divide of the Americas, north of Alta California at 42nd parallel north, and south of Russian America at parallel 54°40′ north; typically this region was referred to by the British as the Columbia District and the Oregon Country by the Americans. The Oregon dispute began to become important in geopolitical diplomacy between the British Empire and the new American republic, especially after the War of 1812. In the 1844 U. S. presidential election, ending the Oregon Question by annexing the entire area was a position adopted by the Democratic Party. Some scholars have claimed the Whig Party's lack of interest in the issue was due to its relative insignificance among other more pressing domestic problems. [ 2] Democratic candidate James K. Polk appealed to the popular theme of manifest destiny and expansionist sentiment, defeating Whig Henry Clay."

"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."

Nonetheless, we also learned that they were not prepared for either the racist, stereotypical attitudes of Europeans or the military force that was used to subjugate them. Today, then, we move to the next chapter in our story - the European discovery, exploration, and occupation of California. And we begin with the Spanish. California was discovered as a consequence of Spanish imperialism in the Western Hemisphere. Between 1520 and 1540, the Spanish relentlessly pushed northward from Mexico, exploiting Indian villages along the way and vastly expanding their frontier. It was in 1533, that the first group of Spanish explorers crossed the Gulf of California and reached Bahia de la Paz near the tip of the Baja Peninsula. When they tried to land, Indians killed all but two of them."

In the late 18 th Century, Felipe de Neve, Spanish Governor of California, saw the need to establish a pueblo along the River Los Angeles west of the Mission San Gabriel. The primary purpose for the pueblo was to reaffirm Spain’s claim over the territory in the face of encroachments by Russia in the north and Britain from the sea. The pueblo would also help to keep Spain’s California military garrisons (or Presidios) supplied and fed (whereas they otherwise would have to be supplied irregularly by ship). The site Governor de Neve had in mind was a site earlier commended by Father Juan Crespi, a Franciscan priest who, more than a decade earlier, accompanied the Gaspar de Portola expedition - first European land expedition through California. With the authority of King Carlos III of Spain, Viceroy Bucareli and Commandant General de la Croix approved Governor de Neve's proposal and issued an order that the pueblo be established. Don Fernando Rivera y Moncada, Lt. Governor of the Californias, was directed to oversee recruitment of colonists and accompanying soldiers for the new settlement. Before the recruitment of settlers even began, Governor de Neve immediately went to work drawing up detailed plans for the new pueblo."

These geographic zones run from north to south across the nation, dividing Peru into three regions of distinct natural and cultural characteristics. The Peruvian Coast Peru’s Pacific coastline stretches for 1,500 miles (2,414 km) along the western edge of the nation. Desert landscapes dominate much of this lowland region, but coastal microclimates provide some interesting variations. Lima, the nation’s capital, is located in the subtropical desert near the midpoint of Peru’s coastline. The cool currents of the Pacific Ocean keep temperatures lower than would be expected in a subtropical city. A coastal fog, called garúa, often covers the Peruvian capital, providing some much-needed moisture while further dulling the smoggy skies above Lima. The coastal deserts continue south through Nazca and on to the Chilean border. The southern city of Arequipa lies between the coast and the foothills of the Andes."

However, the building of the missions was strongly supported by the Spanish government, which saw in the missions a way to expand the Spanish sphere of influence. The Spanish built a series of presidios, or forts, to support and defend the missions. Each mission formed the core of a settlement, many of which eventually grew into California’s major cities. The missions were protected by small contingents of soldiers. These small detachments were not sufficient to secure Spain’s interests in Alta California. The Spanish feared that other countries – especially Russia – had designs on its North American territories. In addition, there was a constant fear of pirates raiding the coastal missions and settlements, or of Indian uprisings. The Spanish government therefore divided Alta California into four military districts, each controlled and protected by a military fort, or presidio. Later, after Mexico declared its independence from Spain, a fifth presidio was built at Sonoma."

Lenders will not collaborate on a standard and consistent process for closings under the new CFPB rules effective August 1, 2015, at least not according to Wells Fargo. Wells Fargo’s December 10, 2014 Settlement Agent Communication answered nine FAQs from settlement agents, the first of which sought confirmation on whether to expect standard closing procedures from lenders. Wells responded with a “no,” and stated that each lender is accountable and must determine its own method for achieving compliance. This mega lender had announced on September 24 that it will control the generation and delivery of the buyer/borrower Closing Disclosure (“CD”), the form that will replace the HUD-1 Settlement Statement. The stated rationale was that the new CD is governed by the Truth-in-Lending Act (“TILA”), not the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), and the risks and penalties for lenders are more severe under TILA. Bank of America announced on December 17 that it will follow suit by generating and delivering the buyer/borrower CD. Both banks have indicated settlement agents will generate the seller’s CD. Other lenders have not announced whether they will follow this procedure. It is entirely possible that settlement agents (closing attorneys in South Carolina) will prepare the CDs for other lenders."

"text": "\"Spanish and Mexican California The Presidios of Alta California By Sasha Honig Professor Emeritus, History, Balersfield Collegeand Website Editor, California Mission Studies Association Introduction Reminders that the Spanish established missions in California are hard to miss: the string of 21 places along the coast where a mission is a major tourist attraction; street names and town names and businesses with the word \"\"mission\"\" in them; mission-inspired architecture seen in everything from train stations to taco stands to even Baptist churches in Central Valley towns; \"\"Mission-Style\"\" furniture; and colorful orange crate labels found in antique stores showing a roly-poly Franciscan friar with a mission in the background. The missions, in fact, along with the orange, are icons of California history. Less familiar are the Spanish presidios (military forts), four of which were strategically placed along the California coast. However, in the era of their establishment the presidio was equal to the mission in the eyes of the Spanish authorities who authorized their establishment. In fact, in terms of establishing its political claims to Alta California, it can be argued that the presidio was even more important to the Spanish government than the missions. It can be further asserted that the presidios had a lasting social impact on California--that the soldiers and their offspring became a major portion of the later rancho elite of California, along with civilian settler families with whom they inter-married. These people were the seedbed of the Hispanic population of California, and even today in former presidio towns such as Santa Barbara, their descendants form an active part of community life. The purpose of this work is to trace the history of the presidios in California so that we might have a more complete picture of our state's Hispanic past beyond the oft-told tale of the missions. Background Precedents for the use of garrisons of soldiers and their families to both conquer and colonize a new land can be found as far back in Spanish history as the Roman period (when they were known as praesidium or praesidia ). However, the history of presidios as a frontier institution in New Spain (as colonial Mexico was known) dates from the late 1500s, when Spanish prospectors found fabulous deposits of silver hundreds of miles to the north of Mexico City, well beyond the boundaries of the former Aztec empire."

Following the death of Joseph Smith, Jr. and his brother Hyram Smith [June 27, 1844 at Carthage Jail] the Mormons began their long trek across the State of Iowa, headed for the Great Salt Lake Valley in the territory that would become the State of Utah.

To add to their suffering, the migrants were plagued by a lack of food, their supplies depleted within a few weeks. Stephen MARKHAM headed a Pioneer Company that proceded the migrants to scout out the best routes, located trading settlements, build bridges and make other preparations for those who followed. William PRATT and his brass band provided some musical entertainment for the suffering migrants. Many times, when arriving at southern Iowa communities, the band gave formal concerts which helped raise funds for the purchase of food and supplies.

Title insurance is protection against loss arising from problems connected to the title to your property. Before you purchased your home, it may have gone through several ownership changes, and the land on which it stands went through many more. There may be a weak link at any point in that chain that could emerge to cause trouble. For example, someone along the way may have forged a signature in transferring title. Or there may be unpaid real estate taxes or other liens. Title insurance covers the insured party for any claims and legal fees that arise out of such problems. Is Purchasing Title Insurance Obligatory? It is if you need a mortgage, because all mortgage lenders require such protection for an amount equal to the loan. It lasts until the loan is repaid."

"text": "What is Alternative Splicing, and Why is it Important? By Yevgeniy Grigoryev Genetic information of an organism is stored in the genes, the functional subunits of the genome, arranged in the strands of the DNA double helix in the nucleus. This information is transcribed from DNA into a messenger RNA (m RNA) template by a process called transcription. However, in eukaryotes, before the m RNA can be translated into proteins, non-coding portions of the sequence, called introns, must be removed and protein-coding parts, called exons, joined by RNA splicing to produce a mature m RNA. The discovery of alternative splicing RNA splicing was first discovered in 1970s in viruses and subsequently in eukaryotes. Not long after, scientists discovered alternative patterns of pre-m RNA splicing that produced different mature m RNAs containing various combinations of exons from a single precursor m RNA. The first example of alternative splicing of a cellular gene in eukaryotes was identified in the Ig M gene, a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. Alternative splicing (AS) therefore is a process by which exons or portions of exons or noncoding regions within a pre-m RNA transcript are differentially joined or skipped, resulting in multiple protein isoforms being encoded by a single gene. This mechanism increases the informational diversity and functional capacity of a gene during post-transcriptional processing and provides an opportunity for gene regulation ( Figure 1 ). Figure 1."

The mechanism of pre-m RNA splicing is highly complex, requiring multiple interactions between pre-m RNA, small nuclear ribonucleoproteins and splicing factor proteins. Regulation of this process is even more complicated, relying on loosely defined cis -acting regulatory sequence elements, trans -acting protein factors and cellular responses to varying environmental conditions. Many different human diseases can be caused by errors in RNA splicing or its regulation. Targeting aberrant RNA provides an opportunity to correct faulty splicing and potentially treat numerous genetic disorders. Antisense oligonucleotide therapies show particular promise in this area and, if coupled with improved delivery strategies, could open the door to a multitude of novel personalized therapies.

RNA also presents an attractive target for therapeutic interventions. On an in vivo cellular basis m RNA is more accessible than DNA and the presence within the cell of multiple different RNA processing pathways (e.g. splicing, nonsense-mediated decay, RNA interference, etc. ), means that there is much scope for influencing its control at different levels."

The enzyme consists of a protein component with reverse transcriptase activity, encoded by this gene, and an RNA component which serves as a template for the telomere repeat. Telomerase expression plays a role in cellular senescence, as it is normally repressed in postnatal somatic cells resulting in progressive shortening of telomeres. Deregulation of telomerase expression in somatic cells may be involved in oncogenesis. Studies in mouse suggest that telomerase also participates in chromosomal repair, since de novo synthesis of telomere repeats may occur at double-stranded breaks. Alternatively spliced variants encoding different isoforms of telomerase reverse transcriptase have been identified; the full-length sequence of some variants has not been determined. Alternative splicing at this locus is thought to be one mechanism of regulation of telomerase activity.

Share: FULL STORYThe gene responsible for Rett syndrome, a devastating neurological disease found mostly in girls, not only silences some genes but in combination with another also regulates alternative splicing, crucial to the formation of proteins -- a finding that may explain the symptoms associated with this puzzling disorder and others related to it, said Baylor College of Medicine researchers in a report appearing online today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The finding brings a new understanding to the ongoing process of unraveling the mystery behind why neurons work and do not work. \"\" There are multiple steps that a neuron goes through as it makes a decision to communicate with another neuron,\"\" said senior author Dr. Huda Y. Zoghbi, professor of pediatrics and human and molecular genetics at BCM as well as a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator. \"\" The neuron will express certain genes producing RNA, make certain proteins from these RNAs, and then carry some of these proteins to synapse. Alternative RNA splicing is one way for the cell to create many different forms of RNA and proteins from the same gene. We are just beginning to learn the importance of alternative splicing in neuronal activity.\"\" Zoghbi discovered the role of the gene methyl-Cp G binding protein 2 (Me CP2) in Rett. \"\" In fact, the effect of this protein (Me CP2) on RNA splicing is more noticeable than its effect on gene expression,\"\" she said. Rett syndrome occurs in approximately 1 in 10,000 girls."

"text": "From DNA to RNATranscription and translation are the means by which cells read out, or express, the genetic instructions in their genes. Because many identical RNA copies can be made from the same gene, and each RNA molecule can direct the synthesis of many identical protein molecules, cells can synthesize a large amount of protein rapidly when necessary. But each gene can also be transcribed and translated with a different efficiency, allowing the cell to make vast quantities of some proteins and tiny quantities of others ( Figure 6-3 ). Moreover, as we see in the next chapter, a cell can change (or regulate) the expression of each of its genes according to the needs of the moment—most obviously by controlling the production of its RNA. Figure 6-3Genes can be expressed with different efficiencies. Gene A is transcribed and translated much more efficiently than gene B. This allows the amount of protein A in the cell to be much greater than that of protein B. Go to: Portions of DNA Sequence Are Transcribed into RNAThe first step a cell takes in reading out a needed part of its genetic instructions is to copy a particular portion of its DNA nucleotide sequence—a gene —into an RNA nucleotide sequence. The information in RNA, although copied into another chemical form, is still written in essentially the same language as it is in DNA—the language of a nucleotide sequence. Hence the name transcription. Like DNA, RNA is a linear polymer made of four different types of nucleotide subunits linked together by phosphodiester bonds ( Figure 6-4 ). It differs from DNA chemically in two respects: (1) the nucleotides in RNA are ribonucleotides —that is, they contain the sugar ribose (hence the name ribo nucleic acid) rather than deoxyribose; (2) although, like DNA, RNA contains the bases adenine (A), guanine ( G ), and cytosine (C), it contains the base uracil (U) instead of the thymine (T) in DNA."

The spliceosome is assembled from sn RNAs and SR protein. The spliceosome removes introns from a transcribed pre-m RNA, a type of primary transcript. This process is generally referred to as splicing. [ 1] Only eukaryotes have spliceosomes and some organisms have a second spliceosome, the minor spliceosome.

Transcript: The central dogma basically says that the information in an organism, that decides and organism, that describes everything that it can do is encoded in the DNA. And that DNA is then copied into something called RNA, which is very similar, it has exactly the same sequence as DNA, but it's easily changed. It's much easier to work with, it can be degraded whereas DNA is rather solid. And then from the information in the RNA, you can then make protein by reading the sequence of bases in the RNA three at a time and three code for one amino acid. So if you want to make a hundred amino acid protein, you need a piece of RNA that is 300 bases long. But in a bacterium, you can make the RNA and it looks exactly like the DNA and it can then go straight into the ribosome in order to make the protein. But in eukaryotes, when you make the first piece of RNA, you can't read it three at a time because it's got all of these extra segments in it that are separating out the coding region. And so you have to do this cutting and splicing process in order to then make something that looks like a bacterial messenger RNA.

When a sentence contains two independent clauses — each of which could essentially stand on its own — separated by a comma (or by nothing at all, in which case it’s called a fused sentence), employ one of these five strategies to fix the splice and create a correct connection:1. “ Of course not all companies will survive, it is our goal to give the investing public accurate information on all companies profiled.” Divide the sentence into two (and set “Of course” off with a comma as well): “Of course, not all companies will survive. It is our goal to give the investing public accurate information on all companies profiled. ”2. “ Some buildings hearken back to Main Street, USA, others offer strip-mall modernism.” Insert a subordinating conjunction to convert either clause into a subordinate clause (one that depends on the other to be the main clause): “Some buildings hearken back to Main Street, USA, while others offer strip mall modernism.” ( While could, alternatively, begin the sentence.)3. “ Several people have told me they want to buy a house before they are laid off, otherwise they won’t be able to get a loan.”"

Tell your librarian. Abstract Power Point Images References Resources One of the fundamental issues in RNA splicing research is represented by understanding how the spliceosome can successfully define exons and introns in a huge variety of pre‐m RNA molecules with nucleotide‐precision. Since its first description, researchers in this field have identified and characterized many fundamental elements and players capable of affecting the splicing process, both in a negative and positive manner. Indeed, it can be argued that today we know a great deal about the forces that make an exon, an exon and an intron, an intron. As will be discussed in this review, these decisions are a result of a complex combinatorial control resulting from many different factors/influences. Most importantly, these influences act across several levels of complexity starting from the relatively simple interaction between two consensus 5′ and 3′ splice sites to much more complex factors: such as the interplay between silencer or enhancer sequences, transcriptional processivity, genomic milieu, nucleosome positioning, and histone modifications at the chromatin level. Depending on local contexts, all these factors will act either antagonistically or synergistically to decide the exon/intron fate of any given RNA sequence. At present, however, what we still lack is a precise understanding of how all these processes add up to help the spliceosome reach a decision. Therefore, it is expected that future challenges in splicing research will be the careful characterization of all these influences to improve our ability to predict splicing choices in different organisms or in specific contexts."

Answered Aug 8, 2015 · Author has 204 answers and 148.2k answer views Atmospheric pressure at sea level is approximately 100,000 pascals (101,325 Pa by definition.) Air pressure is usually measured in hectopascals (h Pa), the hecto prefix corrsponding to 100 (a hecatre is a square with 100m sides), so 1 atmosphere is approximately 1000 h Pa A pascal is the SI unit for pressure, defined as 1 newton per square metre. Earth's gravitational acceleration on the surface is approximately 10 m/s^2, so atmospheric pressure is roughly equivalent to 10,000 kg, or 10 tonnes per square metre! Because water is about 1000 kg per cubic metre, you would need 10 cubic metres of water over 1 square metre to be equivalent to one atmosphere, which would be about 10m deep (10.34m more precisely). You can change the width and length to anything you want, but as long as you keep the depth the same, the force per unit area (the pressure) will stay the same. This means that if you dive down 10m in water, you are experiencing 1 extra atmosphere of pressure. This is also why it is physically impossible to suck water up a straw longer than 10m. As you remove the air from the straw, the pressure of the atmosphere pushes the water up to fill the partial vacuum. as you suck more air out, the vacuum gets stronger until there is no air left, and the water reaches a height of 10.3m."

What the FAA calls a \"\"sensitive altimeter\"\" is simply more sensitive than a regular (now often called non-sensitive) one: Non-Sensitive altimeters have a 1000-foot scale (200-foot tick marks) as their most precise display. Sensitive altimeters have a 100-foot scale (20-foot tick marks) as their most precise display. The sensitive altimeter in \"\"glass cockpit\"\" displays go even further, often having 1-foot resolution on a digital read-out. Let's look at some (analog) examples: Non-Sensitive Altimeter, not adjustable for barometric pressure This altimeter is similar to what you'd find on an old Piper Cub: The scale is marked in thousands of feet, with ticks every 200 feet. This altimeter is not adjustable for \"\"barometric pressure\"\", but it is adjustable: The little knob on the bottom rotates the face of the altimeter."

Such systems enable airliners to land in weather conditions that would otherwise be dangerous or impossible to operate in. Contents [ hide ]1 Description2 History2.1 Background2.2 Development of autoland2.3 Civil aviation3 Systems4 See also5 References6 External links Description [ edit]Autoland systems were designed to make landing possible in visibility too poor to permit any form of visual landing, although they can be used at any level of visibility. They are usually used when visibility is less than 600 meters runway visual range and/or in adverse weather conditions, although limitations do apply for most aircraft—for example, for a Boeing 747-400 the limitations are a maximum headwind of 25 kts, a maximum tailwind of 10 kts, a maximum crosswind component of 25 kts, and a maximum crosswind with one engine inoperative of five knots. They may also include automatic braking to a full stop once the aircraft is on the ground, in conjunction with the autobrake system, and sometimes auto deployment of spoilers and thrust reversers. Autoland may be used for any suitably approved instrument landing system (ILS) or microwave landing system (MLS) approach, and is sometimes used to maintain currency of the aircraft and crew, as well as for its main purpose of assisting an aircraft landing in low visibility and/or bad weather. Autoland requires the use of a radar altimeter to determine the aircraft's height above the ground very precisely so as to initiate the landing flare at the correct height (usually about 50 feet (15 m)). The localizer signal of the ILS may be used for lateral control even after touchdown until the pilot disengages the autopilot."

"text": "\"Aviation Pilot Careers The Pitot-Static System Powers Aircraft Instruments Share Flip Pin Share Email•••By Sarina Houston Updated December 04, 2017Ever wonder how your airspeed indicator works? The answer lies within a basic system called the piot-static system, which measures ram air pressure and compares it to static pressure to indicate the aircraft's speed through the air. And that's not all it tells you. This same static air system gives us our altitude and tells us how fast we're climbing or descending in feet per minute. The pitot-static system supplies power to three basic aircraft instruments: The airspeed indicator, altimeter, and vertical speed indicator. Components Pitot Tube and Line: The pitot tube is an L-shaped device located on the exterior of the aircraft that is used to measure airspeed. It has a small opening in the front of the tube where ram air pressure (dynamic pressure) enters the tube and a drain hole on the back of the tube. Some types or pitot tubes have an electronic heating element inside of the tube that prevents ice from blocking the air inlet or drain hole. Static Port (s) and Lines: The static port is a small air inlet, usually located on the side of the aircraft, flush against the fuselage. The static port measures static (non-moving) air pressure, which is also known as ambient pressure or barometric pressure."

Credit: NASA/Michael Studinger This story was updated at 8:26 p.m. ET. NASA recently released a study suggesting that the Antarctic Ice Sheet is gaining more ice than it is losing — a finding that, at first blush, seems to contradict the idea of global warming. So, how can Antarctica be gaining ice mass in a warming world where ice sheets are collapsing and the melting is predicted to increase sea levels across the globe? It turns out that the two phenomena — a growing ice sheet and warming-related melting — are not mutually exclusive. Moreover, the NASA study, which was published Oct. 30 in the Journal of Glaciology, does not disprove global warming. Rather, the researchers found that snow accumulation is adding more ice to East Antarctica (the huge chunk of the continent to the east of the Transantarctic Mountains) and the interior region of West Antarctica than is being lost as glaciers across Antarctica thin out. More snow accumulation is, counterintuitively, a sign of global warming; more precipitation happens when there is more moisture in the air, and more moisture in the air is a product of higher temperatures, said Elizabeth Thomas, a glaciologist with the British Antarctic Survey.

This is as opposed to altitude/elevation above mean sea level (AMSL), or (in broadcast engineering) height above average terrain (HAAT). In other words, these expressions (AGL, AMSL, HAAT) indicate where the \"\"zero level\"\" or \"\"reference altitude\"\" is located. Contents [ hide ]1 Aviation2 Atmospheric sciences3 Broadcasting4 See also5 References6 External links Aviation [ edit]A pilot flying an aircraft under instrument flight rules (typically under poor visibility conditions) must rely on the aircraft's altimeter to decide when to deploy the undercarriage and prepare for landing. Therefore, the pilot needs reliable information on the height of the plane with respect to the landing area (usually an airport). The altimeter, which is usually a barometer calibrated in units of distance instead of atmospheric pressure, can therefore be set in such a way as to indicate the height of the aircraft above ground. This is done by communicating with the control tower of the airport (to get the current surface pressure) and setting the altimeter so as to read zero on the ground of that airport. Confusion between AGL and AMSL, or improper calibration of the altimeter, may result in controlled flight into terrain, a crash of a fully functioning aircraft under pilot control. While the use of a barometric altimeter setting that provides a zero reading on the ground of the airport is a reference available to pilots, in commercial aviation it is a country-specific procedure that is not often used (it is used, e.g., in Russia, and a few other countries [ which?] ). Most countries (Far East, North and South America, all of Europe, Africa, Australia) use the airport's AMSL (above mean sea level) elevation as a reference."

You get MSL from your altimeter and ATC sees your altitude in MSL (Your altitude above Sea Level) To find out your approx AGL you would take the elevation of your closest airport for expample and substract it from the altitude on your altimeter (MSL) - Some aircraft have radar altimeters on board and are able to tell exactly what their AGL altitude is- For the most part you only need to worry about MSL."

It's a simple and basic flight instrument, yet it is often misinterpreted by pilots - sometimes with grave consequences. Understanding how your aircraft altimeter works is necessary for safe flight. The instrument itself is simple enough, but its operation comes with a few caveats. This article pertains to conventional altimeters as opposed to newer computerized systems found on technologically advanced aircraft. Newer altimeters use high-tech sensors to detect altitude. Altitude can also be accurately attained with an IFR-certified GPS system on board. How It Works The conventional aircraft altimeter works by measuring the atmospheric pressure at the airplane's flight altitude and comparing it to a preset pressure value. Air pressure decreases by about one-inch mercury for each 1,000-foot altitude increase. Inside the instrument, the casing is a set of three aneroid wafers that are sealed but still able to expand and contract."

"text": "The altimeter measures the height of the glider above a given atmospheric pressure level by measuring atmospheric pressure in flight. Since the altimeter is the only instrument that gives altitude information, the altimeter is one of the most important instruments in the glider. The altimeter is a simple aneroid barometer that measures pressure at its current location. An aneroid wafer is attached to the static source and as the glider climbs or descends the wafer expands or contracts. The movements of the wafer are mechanically linked to the needles on the face of the instrument that indicate altitude. The altimeter is designed to measure altitude at standard sea level pressure. Since air pressure where you are flying is rarely standard, we need a method to adjust the altimeter for non-standard pressure. The altimeter is set in pressure measured in inches of mercury. The Barometric Pressure Scale is used to set the proper pressure correction. When the altitude set knob is turned, the barometric pressure scale moves along with the altimeter pointers."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Novus Ordo Seclorum)navigation search The phrase Novus ordo seclorum ( Latin for \"\" New order of the ages \"\"; English: / ˈ n oʊ v ə s ˈ ɔːr d oʊ s ɛ ˈ k l ɔːr əm /; Latin pronunciation: [ˈnɔwʊs ˈoːrdoː seːˈkɫoːrũː]) is the second of two mottos that appear on the reverse (or back side) of the Great Seal of the United States. ( The first motto is Annuit cœptis, literally translated \"\" [He/she/it] has favored our undertakings\"\".) The Great Seal was first designed in 1782, and has been printed on the back of the United States one-dollar bill since 1935. The phrase Novus ordo seclorum is sometimes mistranslated as \"\" New World Order \"\" by people who believe in a conspiracy behind the design. [ 1]Reverse side of the Great Seal of the United States Origin and phrase meaning [ edit]The phrase is a reference to the fourth Eclogue of Virgil, [1] which contains a passage (lines 5-8 [2]) that reads: Latin English Ultima Cumaei venit iam carminis aetas; Now comes the final era of the Sibyl 's song;Magnus ab integro saeclorum nascitur ordo. The great order of the ages is born afresh.iam redit et Virgo, redeunt Saturnia regna, And now justice returns, honored rules return (or return of Saturn's reign);iam nova progenies caelo demittitur alto. now a new lineage is sent down from high heaven. The forms saecla, saeclorum etc. were normal alternatives to the more common saec u la etc. throughout the history of Latin poetry and prose."

It is a term used in a wide variety of ways in business and personal life, but it has a different meaning in healthcare. It comes from Latin. re (again) in (into) bursa (purse)—putting money back in your purse. Many of us are familiar with getting reimbursed for expenses. We go on a business trip and pay for our hotel and meals with our personal funds, then submit the receipts to accounting when we return so they can reimburse us. Healthcare Reimbursement to Doctors and Hospitals Healthcare providers are paid by insurance or government payers through a system of reimbursement. They provide medical services to a patient and then file for reimbursement for those services with the insurance company or government agency. It's not the patient who is paying out of pocket and getting reimbursed, it is the doctor who is providing a service and then awaiting reimbursement. If you were to ask your doctor for a schedule of her fees, you would see what she customarily charges for her services."

It was less than half the price of the toy illustrated on the right,which costs £80! Prefects (Praefecti) were senior officials in the Roman Empire - but like a Ford car, they were regarded as socially inferior, as recruited mainly from the equestrian class. A Praefectus was in charge of the corn-supply (Annonae), the Emperor's Bodyguard (Praetorio) and the fire brigade (Vigilum). The name may well owe as much to the implicit snobbery of the English Public School system, where a prefect was a superior youth, but still inferior to a real old master. Consul: better than a Prefect - the Consul had delusions of grandeur, which made it the car to aspire to in the early 60s. Consul evokes the Empire On Which The Sun Never Set as much as the Roman one. In the sixties, the British Consul in a foreign land was the gentleman's Grand Tour rep. Roman consuls came in twos."

[ 1] Towards the end of his life, mainly in 1748 and 1749, he finished composing new sections and compiling it into a complex, unified structure. Bach structured the work in four parts: [2]No. 1 Missa No. 2 Symbolum Nicenum No. 3 Sanctus No. 4 Osanna, Benedictus, Agnus Dei et Dona nobis pacem The four sections of the manuscript are numbered, and Bach's usual closing formula (S. D. G = Soli Deo Gloria) is found at the end of the Dona nobis pacem. Some parts of the mass were used in Latin even in Lutheran Leipzig, and Bach had composed them: five settings of the Missa, containing the Kyrie and the Gloria, and several additional individual settings of the Kyrie and the Sanctus. To achieve the Missa tota, a setting of the complete text of the mass, he combined his most elaborate Missa, the Missa in B minor, written in 1733 for the court in Dresden, and a Sanctus written for Christmas of 1724."

Photo: REUTERS/MARK BLINCHSnowman’s “Alto’s Adventure” caused a stir when it launched on Android Thursday. The downhill skiing game is priced at $2.99 on i Phone, but on Google’s platform it’s free with in-game bonuses available for purchase. Why the price difference? The game’s developers say Android apps are pirated so frequently that charging for downloads has become almost pointless. And Android owners are, on average, less affluent than Apple customers — meaning they’re likely to spend less on apps. But that doesn’t mean developers are set to ditch the Google OS, as companies like Snowman are coming up with creative new ways to monetize their Android products. Snowman cited data from Ustwo Games to justify its pricing decision. Ustwo develops “Monument Valley,” and in January 2015 the company revealed that just 5 percent of the game’s Android installs were paid for. A “small portion” of the remaining 95 percent were legitimate and included free copies handed out to the press, while the others were pirated."

"text": "\"Voice Definitions and Ranges This note tries to clarify the meanings and uses of the names given to high-pitched male voices (counternors, haute-contres, altists, castrato). A good deal of confusion comes from the fact that we, today, use these labels to denote voice types, whereas the same labels were used for voice parts at the time. In the beginning... there was polyphony, and it was, like Gaul, divided in three parts: superius or discantus, tenor, and contratenor. What do these terms mean? Before polyphony, sacred music consisted of plainchant. When another voice was added to the monophony in the 13th c., the part which \"\"held\"\" (Latin tenere) the cantus (chant) line was called tenot, while the voice added above it was called superius (Latin super=above). Then another part was added in the 14th c., written in counterpoint against the tenor line and in the same range, hence its name contratenor. The tenor and contratenor are both more active, though not as florid, as the cantus part (which is higher), and the tenor is written first. Then, about 1450, the contratenor split in two parts: the contratenor altus and contratenor bassus (Latin for \"\"high\"\" and \"\"low\"\" respectively) and the simple term \"\"contratenor\"\" dropped out of use, at least on the continent, in the 16th c. The contratenor altus was usually a little above the tenor, and overlapped in range with it, while the superius remained above and the contratenor bassus was below. In the 16th and 17th centuries the ranges of voices became more stratified, and the range of the contratenor altus, or altus, moved higher."

Other times, they bring to mind a thick and soft blanket that provides comfort in the cold. Or they can even look like feathers, just floating around as they gently ride the soft breeze. Truly, clouds can take all sorts of shapes and forms. Based on the different shapes of clouds, they have been classified into ten different genera, each with different species and subdivisions. Just by looking at the shapes of clouds, meteorologists can easily identify them. Names Based on Shape The current Linnaean system of classification was developed from the original cloud nomenclature that Luke Howard created in 1802. When Luke Howard first came up with the names, he did so by observing that there are basically three different shapes of clouds. Based on what the clouds were shaped like, he came up with the Latin names that we use today."

An ALU is a digital circuit used to perform arithmetic and logic operations. What Is an ALU? An arithmetic logic unit (ALU) is a digital circuit used to perform arithmetic and logic operations. It represents the fundamental building block of the central processing unit (CPU) of a computer. Modern CPUs contain very powerful and complex ALUs. In addition to ALUs, modern CPUs contain a control unit (CU). Most of the operations of a CPU are performed by one or more ALUs, which load data from input registers. A register is a small amount of storage available as part of a CPU. The control unit tells the ALU what operation to perform on that data, and the ALU stores the result in an output register."

Mercer Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-12-374984-0.01604-1 Get rights and content Abstract Unequal crossing-over (UCO) occurs when distinct loci similar in sequence undergo homologous recombination. UCO was inferred from a series of experiments on the Bar locus in Drosophila melanogaster, demonstrating that crossing-over occurred in conjunction with Bar locus mutations. The process may result in duplication and deletion of genetic material, formation of chimeric genes, and the generation of mobile extrachromosomal elements. Contemporary studies of newly abundant genomic data show multicellular genomes to be filled with gene families whose formation can best be understood through UCO. Primates have been found to have substantial copy number variation (CNV) generated through nonallelic homologous recombination (NAHR), a type of UCO that occurs among highly similar sequences. The genetic variation produced is substantial, exceeding even single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on a per-base-pair basis. That variation has major genetic disease-generating capability but also provides new variation for evolutionary processes. UCO plays a central role in chromosomal rearrangements (inversions, translocations), gene duplication, and tandem duplication of functional and structural modules especially in multicellular organisms, generation of gene families, and generation of mobile genetic materials such as exons – all important sources of the genetic variation necessary for evolution. Keywords Alu elements; Bar; Concerted evolution; Copy number variants; Gene duplication; Genetic disease; Homologous recombination; Internal gene duplication; Mobile exons; Tandem repeats; Unequal crossing-over Introduction Unequal crossing-over (UCO) occurs when distinct loci similar in sequence undergo homologous recombination during the pachytene stage of meiosis I and occasionally during mitosis. UCO usually occurs between misaligned chromatids on homologous chromosomes, but may also occur at much lower frequencies between sister chromatids, for example, 10–20 times less frequently in Saccharomyces cerevisiae for a pair of duplicated HIS4 loci."

Howland, All Rights Reserved Department of Computer Science Trinity University One Trinity Place San Antonio, Texas 78212-7200Internet: [email protected] Computer Circuits Most computer processors are fabricated from a few simple component circuits which have been designed in such a manner as to make it easy for a designer to connect the outputs of one circuit to the inputs of another circuit. This allows complex circuits to be built from simple components in a sort of building blocks fashion. The TTL (Transistor Transistor Logic) circuit family is one such circuit family. TTL circuits use two voltage levels, 0 volts and +5 volts to represent the two binary digits 0 and 1 respectively. This circuit family also has the property that, within certain reasonable limits, it is possible to wire the outputs of one TTL circuit to the inputs of another TTL circuit and not have to be concerned with such electrical engineering issues of voltagle levels and current flows in the circuit. Recently, circuit families with voltages lower than 5 volts have become widely used in new designs.4.1 Basic Circuits We introduce a digital circuit symbol notation for each of the basic circuit elements we wish to use. The first of these is the or circuit. The logic interpretation of the verb or is the same as its use in ordinary language.

"text": "\"Definitionarithmetic-logic unit (ALU)Posted by: Margaret Rouse What Is.com Contributor (s): David Brown and Theuns Kruger An arithmetic-logic unit (ALU) is the part of a computer processor ( CPU) that carries out arithmetic and logic operations on the operand s in computer instruction word s. In some processors, the ALU is divided into two units, an arithmetic unit (AU) and a logic unit (LU). Some processors contain more than one AU - for example, one for fixed-point operations and another for floating-point operations. ( In personal computers floating point operations are sometimes done by a floating point unit on a separate chip called a numeric coprocessor. ) Typically, the ALU has direct input and output access to the processor controller, main memory (random access memory or RAM in a personal computer), and input/output devices. Inputs and outputs flow along an electronic path that is called a bus. The input consists of an instruction word (sometimes called a machine instruction word) that contains an operation code (sometimes called an \"\"op code\"\"), one or more operands, and sometimes a format code. The operation code tells the ALU what operation to perform and the operands are used in the operation. ( For example, two operands might be added together or compared logically.) The format may be combined with the op code and tells, for example, whether this is a fixed-point or a floating-point instruction. The output consists of a result that is placed in a storage register and settings that indicate whether the operation was performed successfully. ("

Due to the harsh winter I have been stuck in the house most of the time over the last few months, before Christmas I gathered up all the old hard drives, CD ROMS, Floppy drives, a zip drive, 2 printers, a flatbed scanner and a video recorder that where no longer working or no longer any use, after a couple of days of dismantling all this i was left with several boxes of very well made components to be put to use in other projects. I decided that if i could not venture out into the shed, then the shed must come to me. So I setup a work bench in a corner of my computer room and brought the piller drill and a selection of hand tools in out of the cold. I bought a decent 6\"\" combination square with scriber for this project, I have a 12\"\" version of this already but the smaller one is much easier to work with on smaller projects. I visited Banbridge Coach Works a month or so ago and asked if i could buy some of their cuttings of aluminium, I gathered up an armful of various pieces and was asked for £15 which I gladly payed. Many years ago when I was an engineering student I built a model steam engine as my end of year project which earned me a distinction. Since then I have had a love for all types of steam engines. In more recent years i have become fascinated by sterling engines and more recently solenoid engines and Froment engines."

They possess the means for their own duplication and movement. Alu is a SINE-like element that is transcribed by RNA Pol III, and so a single DNA copy can make multiple RNA copies, each capable of inserting into DNA, so it's no wonder they have a very high copy number. Here is a picture of one means of insertion http://www.nature.com/nrg/journal/v3/n5/box/nrg798_BX1.html, although there are likely others. They do not have \"\"a function\"\" per se, in that they are not selected for, they are just rarely selected against and there are so many of them. They do not add functionality, but rather are one half of the \"\"war\"\" between transposable elements and viruses versus the genome's evolution to mitigate the damage they cause."

"text": "\"What is Instruction Cycle An instruction cycle (sometimes called fetch-and-execute cycle, fetch-decode-execute cycle, or FDX) is the basic operation cycle of a computer. It is the process by which a computer retrieves a program instruction from its memory, determines what actions the instruction requires, and carries out those actions. This cycle is repeated continuously by the central processing unit (CPU), from bootup to when the computer is shut down. Circuits used The circuits used in the CPU during the cycle are: Program Counter (PC) - an incrementing counter that keeps track of the memory address of which instruction is to be executed next... Memory Address Register (MAR) - holds the address of a memory block to be read from or written to Memory Data Register (MDR) - a two-way register that holds data fetched from memory (and ready for the CPU to process) or data waiting to be stored in memory Instruction register (IR) - a temporary holding ground for the instruction that has just been fetched from memory Control Unit (CU) - decodes the program instruction in the IR, selecting machine resources such as a data source register and a particular arithmetic operation, and coordinates activation of those resources Arithmetic logic unit (ALU) - performs mathematical and logical operations The time period during which one instruction is fetched from memory and executed when a computer is given an instruction in machine language. There are typically four stages of an instruction cycle that the CPU carries out: 1) Fetch the instruction from memory. 2) \"\"Decode\"\" the instruction. 3) \"\"Read the effective address\"\" from memory if the instruction has an indirect address. 4) \"\"Execute\"\" the instruction. Instruction cycle Each computer's CPU can have different cycles based on different instruction sets, but will be similar to the following cycle:1. Fetch the instruction The next instruction is fetched from the memory address that is currently stored in the Program Counter (PC), and stored in the Instruction register (IR)."

Alu The sequence alu is found in numerous Elder Futhark runic inscriptions of Germanic Iron Age Scandinavia between the 3rd and the 8th century. The word usually appears either alone or as part of an apparent formula. The symbols represent the runes Ansuz, Laguz, and Uruz. The origin and meaning of the word are matters of dispute, though a general agreement exists among scholars that the word represents an instance of historical runic magic or is a metaphor for it. It is the most common of the early runic charm words. The word disappears from runic inscriptions shortly after Migration Period, even before the Christianization of Scandinavia. It may have lived on beyond this period with an increasing association with ale, appearing in stanzas 7 and 19 of the Old Norse poem Sigrdrífumál, compiled in the 13th century Poetic Edda, where knowledge of invocative \"\"ale runes\"\" is imparted by the Valkyrie Sigrdrífa. Theories have been suggested that the unique term ealuscerwen, used to describe grief or terror in the epic poem Beowulf, recorded around the 9th to 11th century, may be directly related.see more »Couldn't find the full form or full meaning of ALU?

"text": "Full Answer How a Processor Works The processor of a computer, or CPU, acts as its brain and allows it to perform calculations and other functions associated with any programming on the computer. The processor turns the information entered into a binary code consisting of zeros and ones. Once converted, this information goes to the CPU, which uses its Arithmetical Logical Unit, or ALU, to perform any mathematical or logical operations. In addition, a CPU needs other systems within the computer housing to help it remain functional. One of the biggest enemies of a CPU is the heat generated from performing all the functions associated with running a computer. Most computers use a fan to cool the processor, though some high-end gaming computers use cooling systems to help remove excess heat from the CPU. The processor completes four basic steps when decoding data, including the following: Fetch: When an instruction from a program is uploaded to the computer's memory, it's given its own address number. The processor uses this address to fetch the instruction from the program counter, which tells the CPU the order it should execute the instructions associated with a particular program. Decode: The processor also decodes the instructions from programming into binary code so that it can understand them. The CPU uses the ALU to complete this process."

An Intel 80486DX2 CPU, as seen from above Bottom side of an Intel 80486DX2, showing its pins A central processing unit ( CPU) is the electronic circuitry within a computer that carries out the instructions of a computer program by performing the basic arithmetic, logical, control and input/output (I/O) operations specified by the instructions. The computer industry has used the term \"\"central processing unit\"\" at least since the early 1960s. [ 1] Traditionally, the term \"\"CPU\"\" refers to a processor, more specifically to its processing unit and control unit (CU), distinguishing these core elements of a computer from external components such as main memory and I/O circuitry. [ 2]The form, design, and implementation of CPUs have changed over the course of their history, but their fundamental operation remains almost unchanged. Principal components of a CPU include the arithmetic logic unit (ALU) that performs arithmetic and logic operations, processor registers that supply operands to the ALU and store the results of ALU operations and a control unit that orchestrates the fetching (from memory) and execution of instructions by directing the coordinated operations of the ALU, registers and other components. Most modern CPUs are microprocessors, meaning they are contained on a single integrated circuit (IC) chip."

"text": "Old fashioned pickle recipes tend to include alum as a key ingredient. Alum is a chemical compound most commonly found in the form of potassium aluminum sulfate. Alum is added to pickles to create the classic crispness and crunch of a good dill pickle. The use of alum for pickling is less common now because, while approved as a food additive, it has been deemed unnecessary in the pickling process. That said, alum continues to be used as a crisping agent in many favorite pickle recipes. Things You'll Need4 quarts pickling cucumbers6 cups water2 tbsp powdered alum Small cup Wooden spoon Vegetable scrubber Large mixing bowl Dill pickle recipe Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and add to the large mixing bowl. Dissolve the powdered alum in your small cup by pouring enough water over the powder to create a thin paste. Pour the six cups of water over top of the cucumbers. You may need a little more water if your cucumbers are larger than average. Your aim is to completely cover all of the cucumbers in water."

Potassium alum was described under the name alumen or salsugoterrae by Pliny, [7] and it is clearly the same as the stupteria described by Dioscorides. [ 8] However, the name alum and other names applied to this substance — like misy, sory, chalcanthum, and atramentum sutorium — were often applied to other products with vaguely similar properties or uses, such as iron sulfate or \"\"green vitriol\"\".

La Follette 0 Comments Last month, former Colts linebacker Gary Brackett put his muscle behind Georgia Reese’s Southern Table & Bar, his upscale, soul food–flavored supper club at 86th Street and Michigan Road. “ It’s a place you can go for happy hour with friends and have some food, have some drinks, and have a good time,” says the nine-year NFL veteran, who has assembled a solid team that includes Harry & Izzy’s alum Bradley Phelps as general manager and Dwight Simmons, who owns Indy Star Chefs Culinary Services, as head chef. The menu reads like a wish list of Southern comfort: rosemary-and-garlic–roasted chicken with watermelon sauce, corn-breaded catfish, oyster po’boys, and char-roasted jumbo shrimp. With live jazz and R&B music on Fridays and Saturdays, plus a gospel brunch on Sundays, the atmosphere is as relaxed as the food. Georgia Reese’s, named after Brackett’s youngest daughter, joins the ranks of other Indy soul-food spots like Kountry Kitchen and Maxine’s Chicken & Waffles. For Brackett, however, it’s not a competition. “ I’m a big believer in controlling what we can do inside our four walls,” he says. “ I just want to have a good, consistent product and Hoosier hospitality. ”Gary Brackett’s Favorite Things (1) The pork tenderloin at Stacked Pickle: “Best in the city.” ("

Definition of Spice: A pungent, aromatic plant substance, such as cinnamon, cloves, mustard or nutmeg, used to flavor foods or beverages. Spices can come from almost any part of a plant including seeds, leaves, barks, rhizomes, latex, stigmas, floral buds and modified stems. Spices are the common dietary ingredients that contribute to the taste and flavor of foods. Besides, spices are also known to exert several beneficial effects and due to increased research on the health benefits of spices, some of them are now available in supplement form. See below a discussion of each spice, and there are links provided if you wish to purchase some of them. In traditional medical systems, the ability of spices to heal various physical, mental and emotional problems has widely been reported. A growing body of research has demonstrated that the commonly used herbs and spices such as garlic, black cumin, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, thyme, allspices, bay leaves, mustard, and rosemary, possess antimicrobial properties that, in some cases, can be used therapeutically. Other spices, such as saffron, a food colorant; turmeric, a yellow colored spice; tea, either green or black, ginger, and flaxseed do contain potent plant substances, including carotenoids, curcumins, catechins, lignan respectively, which provide significant protection against several chronic health conditions including cardiovascular conditions and tumor prevention. Interesting fact: There appears to be a correlation between preferences for spicy food and risk-taking personalities."

"text": "\"Browse > Home > Encyclopedia > Technical Terms Pickling Lime Pickling Lime is Calcium Hydroxide. It's also called \"\"food-grade lime\"\", because in making the Calcium Hydroxide the processors make sure that the process remains pure and doesn't introduce anything untoward (e.g. it's not done in rusty old bins.) Pickling Lime helps to improve the firmness of pickles by introducing calcium that reinforces the pectin in the vegetable being pickled. In using it, a vegetable such as cucumber is soaked first in water mixed with the pickling lime, for up to a day, then the food to be pickled is rinsed thoroughly -- at least 3 times -- before the actual pickling process begins. Because Pickling Lime is alkaline, you have to get rid of it all. People haven't always rinsed thoroughly enough, leaving some alkalinity and thus weakening the required acidity of the pickling batch. On account of this, cases of botulism have been recorded, and for that reason many reputable home canning authorities are reluctant to advocate its use anymore. Some swear by using grape leaves instead to help with crunchiness instead of using lime, most authorities say if you use fresh cucumbers and trim the blossom ends off properly, that grape leaves add no enhancement. In no event substitute any industrial Lime, whether agricultural or lumberyard Lime, for pickling lime: Lime may contain unsafe contaminants unless it is certified food-grade pickling lime. When purchasing, also be cautious if you see \"\"lime powder\"\"."

Clothing, shelter and storage may be the top three uses for a tanned hide, but are not the only benefits of mastering this pioneering-era skill. Tanning hide is not a simple skill to master, but one which is worth the effort. Preserving the hides of livestock raised on the homestead or hunted to provide food allows families to make full use of the animal. There are many different hide-tanning techniques, and the process does vary depending upon the size of the animal hide. Even animals as small as a squirrel or rabbit can provide hide pieces large enough for a small project – or even a large project if the pieces are sewn together. The classic Foxfire series devoted an entire chapter to hide tanning in the third book, and even many years after its original publication date, still serves as an excellent directional source. The book offers an in-depth look at the alum tanning, brain tanning, bark tanning, and tanning with lard and flour processes. Time is of the essence in hide tanning. The first step in the process is to remove all excess tissue and meat from the animal skins, and then sprinkle and spread pickling salt onto the material."

Sixty percent of patients now admitted to nursing homes have this diagnosis, and the number of Alzheimer's victims is projected to increase as much as eight-fold by the middle of the next century. There is a strong connection between aluminum and Alzheimer's disease. Research clearly demonstrates abnormally high accumulations of aluminum within the brains of Alzheimer's victims. Independent studies performed in Norway, the United Kingdom, France and Canada, show a direct correlation between the prevalence of Alzheimer's disease and aluminum concentrations in the drinking water.1,2,3,4 In fact, one British study reported in the highly respected medical journal; The Lancet, showed the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease to be 50 percent greater where drinking water contained high levels of aluminum.5The connection between aluminum in the brain and Alzheimer's Disease is so convincing that various studies are under way to explore whether aluminum in the brain can be removed, and if so, to determine if this would be beneficial for Alzheimer's patients."

"text": "\"Browse > Home > Encyclopedia > Cooking Techniques Pickling Pickling is a preserving process that can be applied to vegetables, meat, fish, eggs, fruit and even nuts. It also adds flavour to the item being preserved, and can transform one food item, such as cucumbers, into another, such as \"\"pickles.\"\" The following discussion of pickling provides general guidelines only, and is only a broad survey of general literature on the topic. Contact your local health or agricultural department for guidelines recommended for your jurisdiction. It is important to follow their recommended procedures, because serious health issues can arise otherwise. Note as well that older recipes may have counted on vinegar which was far stronger than the vinegar now allowed to be sold to consumers in some jurisdictions. Anything you pickle comes out only as good as the quality of what you start with. Don't use damaged or blemished produce, or meat, fish or eggs that are past their safe-use dates. Fruit is best pickled when slightly underripe. PICKLING INGREDIENTSVinegar Vinegar is perhaps the single most important element needed in pickling."

Alum is a salt that in chemistry is a combination of an alkali metal, such as sodium, potassium, or ammonium and a trivalent metal, such as aluminum, iron, or chromium. The most common form, potassium aluminum sulfate, or potash alum, is one form that has been used in food processing. Another, sodium aluminum sulfate, is an ingredient in commercially produced baking powder. ( Have you never noticed the faint metallic taste in baking powder? It comes from the alum.)"

It is used in the preparation of flour and cheese and is used in OTC oral health products as an astringent. It can also be used for water clarification, seafood preservation, and pickling. We have found it to be a deodorant active for our Natural Confidence mineral salt roll-ons, functioning by inhibiting the growth of odor causing bacteria; unpleasant odor is caused by skin bacteria when we sweat. Potassium alum is not an antiperspirant active and products containing potassium alum have been found not to reduce sweat production in clinical testing. Potassium alum does contain aluminum, so in our Natural Confidence mineral salt roll-on products there is a low level of aluminum. We do not make an “aluminum-free” claim on our Natural Confidence roll-on products. What are the alternatives? Potassium alum is not the only deodorant active available, but it has a long history of safe usage in a variety of products as described above."

There weren't really any companies out there making sports gear to suit a woman's smaller frame or her different taste- but that's no longer true. Alyssa Milano's Touch line makes it a lot easier for women to look stylish while cheering on their favorite team- and we make it easier than ever to order this great clothing. With jackets, hats, pants, and shirts, she can look great and sport her team's colors at the same time!Touch was launched in the spring of 2007, when Alyssa Milano (who is a big baseball fan) wanted to wear her team's colors but couldn't find any gear that she liked. All of the stuff that was available was too big and geared more toward men. She felt that women should have more choices when it came to NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB apparel, so she started her own line of stylish, comfortable women's sports apparel. No matter what team you root for, Touch has something for you. And, our site makes it very easy (and inexpensive) to get the Touch gear that she is looking for!There are shirts, sweaters, jackets, pants, hats, and other apparel from almost every major team. No matter who you root for, Touch has your gear. Every NFL team is represented, and the Packers, Patriots, and Pittsburgh Steelers gear is especially popular this season."

Alyssa:the kind of girl who still manages to find a way to smile; the one that you'll see walking down the hallway, having her head up high, trying just one last time; the kind of girl that will get back up, each and every time she falls... the kind of girl who NEVER gives up. Uh… Kind of true? I do give up and my fear of failure is something I still have to work on. However, I do pride myself on being generally optimistic and upbeat (until my social battery is totally out, burnout is terrible on both me and people around me), and on generally getting back up when I fall, and working to find a different solution.

"text": "\"Why I Tattooed My Eyebrows — & What It Was Really Like Alyssa Coscarelli Last Updated January 18, 2017, 8:10 AMCourtesy of Alyssa Coscarelli. Chances are, unless you've spent as much time googling how to get bolder brows as I have, you've never heard of eyebrow embroidery. While this procedure — also known as cosmetic tattooing, semi-permanent makeup, pigment embroidery, 3-D eyebrow embroidery, or microblading — is quite common in Singapore and Malaysia, it hasn't quite caught on here in the United States. When you think of eyebrow tattoos, you probably think of those straight lines, often bluish-gray or some other weird color, that look like they were drawn on with a crayon. That's not what they are. Eyebrow embroidery is semi-permanent pigment that's pushed into the surface of the skin with a fine blade to mimic the growth of your already existing hair (if there is any, that is) and create bolder, natural-looking brows. This requires no tattoo gun, no ink, and no bleeding or downtime — in fact, it looks best when a pro does it by hand. When it's done right — like the work of the now Instagram-famous cosmetic tattoo artist Shaughnessy Keely (disclaimer: she's completely booked) — you can hardly believe it's not real hair. Sounds too good to be true, right? I first came across eyebrow embroidery on one of my many searches for a permanent solution to filling in my brows."

Since that article was published, I have further developed my love for amari and acquired several others that are less well-known, so I thought it high time to publish a follow-up. Amaro 101 covered eight widely available amari, so let’s take a look at another eight here for Amaro 102. Braulio Amaro Hailing from the Alpine region of Valtellina near the Swiss border, Braulio is the brainchild of botanist Dr. Francesco Peloni, who created it in 1875. The botanicals used include gentian, juniper, wormwood, and yarrow—there are at least nine others that remain a secret. These botanicals were traditionally gathered on a hillside named Bormio, hence its inclusion on the bottle. Unique among amari is its finishing—Braulio is aged in Slavonian oak for two years prior to bottling. Braulio’s aromas include a host of fresh herbs including chamomile, pine, and menthol. It’s fairly sweet and viscous, but manages to stay well-balanced. I purchased my first bottle of Braulio in Tuscany, but I’m happy to report it is now being imported by Domaine Select in New York."

Amaro is typically produced by macerating herbs, roots, flowers, bark, and/or citrus peels in alcohol, either neutral spirits or wine, mixing the filtrate with sugar syrup, and allowing the mixture to age in casks or bottles. Dozens of varieties are commercially produced, the most commonly available of which are Averna, Ramazzotti, Lucano, and Montenegro. Many commercial bottlers trace their recipe or production to the 19th century. Recipes often originated in monasteries or pharmacies."

"text": "It seems like just yesterday I was listening to my parents lament the changes that were happening in society. “ What’s the world coming to?” were words that stuck in my mind as I was growing up. At the time, especially during my teenage years, I didn’t really understand or appreciate their concern. My parents were just old-fashioned and, to me, didn’t get it. Well the times have changed and I guess I’m now old-fashioned too because I keep asking myself, “What’s the world coming to?”Let’s consider the social aspects of television as an example of what I’m referring to here. In my youth, watching television was associated with many “negative things,” not the least of which was my mother’s constant warning that I’d lose my eyesight from watching too much TV or getting too close to the television set. I also remember many pejorative terms for television, including referring to it as the “boob tube.” If there ever was a time when television could more accurately be called the boob tube, then this must be it. Leaving little to the imagination, television programming in the 21st century has gone far beyond anything that I can remember watching in my formative, character-building years."

"text": "Amaro 101: An Introduction to Italian Amari Amari (the plural of amaro, the Italian word for “bitter”) are a class of bitter Italian liqueurs principally employed for their digestive qualities, either before or after a meal (aperitivo/digestivo). I must admit I don’t understand the science behind the practice, but I can tell you from experience that they usually work. There are quite a few popular amari available in the US, and many more are enjoyed regionally throughout Italy. In the US, bitter drinks are far less popular than in the old country, but adventuresome drinkers are beginning to appreciate their complexity stateside. It could be argued that today’s most popular vehicle for amaro consumption in the US is the Negroni—a classic cocktail that is itself a spin on an even older drink called the Americano. Both involve Milano’s world famous Campari amaro, but there are at least six other amari you can probably find at a liquor store or bar near you. Let’s take a closer look at all seven and find out where they’re from, what makes them unique, and most importantly how to drink them!Aperol Aperol was introduced in 1919 in the city of Padua. Brothers Silvio and Luigi Barbieri thought a low alcohol amaro would fill an unmet need in the marketplace. It’s been fairly popular ever since—mostly due to the notion of combining it with the dry Italian sparkling wine called Prosecco–the Aperol Spritz. Aperol is a less bitter amaro which makes it a good gateway to the more palate-challenging amari."

"text": "What is Liqueur, Brandy & Vermouth? Liqueur A liqueur is a type of spirit that has been sweetened and flavored with herbs, roots, plants, flowers, fruits, dairy products, honey, spices or beans. The category encompasses products like fruit brandies, cream liqueurs, coffee liqueurs, absinthe and bitter liqueurs and amari. Liqueurs are often enjoyed after a meal as a digestif or as an aperitif, or mixed into cocktails. Liqueurs date back six hundred years, when they were made in Italy and other countries in Europe (often by monks) to combat digestive problems and other ailments. Bitter ingredients made with bitter barks, roots, seeds and plants, which are the present-day amari, are still drunk after a meal to aid digestion. Browse our Liqueurs Four methods exist for flavoring a liqueur. The processes have not really changed for the last four hundred years: Compounding adds a mixture of sugar, water and flavorings added to the base spirit. Maceration involves steeping ingredients into the alcohol for weeks or even months, which coaxes out full flavors from ingredients, especially bitter ones like barks and roots. Percolation uses ingredients placed inside a still that flavor the spirit as it passes through a screen or net."

Amaria is a particularly intuitive et imaginative woman who breathes charm, vivacity, femininity and sensitivity. Her first name is characterized by the master number 11 which means that she is capable of living her dreams; be it through the realization of one of her high ideals or through that of her own social ambition. She is incredibly creative and this could be facilitative to her success; however if circumstances are favourable this won´t be without a certain amount of nervous tension since the vibrations of the 11 are elevated and induce passion and enthusiasm... This number is more frequently experienced as its reduced expression, the 2, which is an octave below and is characterized by an overemotional nature, sensitivity and dependence. And so, particularly feminine and hungry for love she will seek the comfort of a relationship, revealing herself to be affectionate, sociable, warm and communicative. On the other hand, she remains wary and cautious if she doesn´t feel comfortable in a situation."

"text": "Vox's home for compelling, provocative narrative essays. It started with a small idea on Facebook, born out of despair after the election — a group of women marching to protest the presidency of Donald Trump. Soon, the idea of a women’s protest ballooned through social media channels into a viral event with thousands expected to descend on Washington, DC, the day after inauguration. Organizing the protest got off to a shaky start. The initial organizers, white women, sparked controversy for calling the march the Million Women March, the same name of famous marches organized by black activists in the ’90s to address struggles of the black community. Some women took to the Facebook event page to express their fear and frustration that the protest represented an exclusive feminism for white women only, ignoring intersecting race, class, and sexual orientation identities that may have other needs. Kainaz Amaria/Vox Over the past few months, the organizers of the Women’s March have brought several women of color with activist backgrounds onto the leadership team. Recently, the march released its official platform, which united a series of progressive causes with a strong emphasis on intersectionality and the inclusion of all marginalized groups. Rallying issues included dismantling gender and racial inequality in the criminal justice system, reproductive, immigrant and LGBTQ rights, freedom from sexual violence, and labor protections for all workers. The range of issues encapsulated in the protest under the banner of the Women’s March is diverse."

Season six is set to air mid-2015, and season seven will air mid-2016. The teen drama, which originally focused on four high schoolers trying to solve their friend’s murder while also being the victims of a mysterious bully, is the top series in the network’s history in both total viewers (3.8 million) and across all target demos. It has also been TV’s top cable telecast in the hour for 95 consecutive original telecasts in females 12-34. The show’s success stems largely from its integrated social-media strategies, which helped it break the record for the most-tweeted scripted series telecast of all time. “ Liars” recently became Instagram’s top scripted television series based on total followers, according to Listen First Media, and luxury car dealer Audi recently announced a partnership with the series to show choice “Liars” tidbits on teen-friendly social site Snapchat.“’ Pretty Little Liars ’ has taken its place in the zeitgeist and reigns supreme in pop culture,” said ABC Family prexy Tom Ascheim, who announced the news with Kate Juergens, exec VP of original programming and development and CCO. “ I am glad to bring another two seasons to our audience, because ‘A’ has a lot in store for our Liars. ”“Liars” was created by I. Marlene King and is based on the series of books by Sara Shepard. It is produced by Alloy Entertainment, Gaslight Productions and Russian Hill Productions in association with Warner Horizon Television, and is exec produced by King, Oliver Goldstick, Leslie Morgenstein and Joseph Dougherty."

Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. Lots of things. For example: - Water freezes (liquid->solid) at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, 0 degrees Celsius, and 273 Kelvin. These temperatures are also the melting points (solid->liquid). - Water vaporizes (liquid->vapor) at 212 degrees Fahrenheit, 100 degrees Celsius and 373 Kelvin. This is also the condensation point (vapor->liquid). Water does not commonly form a gas, but rather a vapor which is slightly different (but really just the name of a gas that is normally a liquid). - There is latent heat in water so you can remove energy without changing the temperature of the water (only exactly at a phase change though). -"

"text": "Global Business Tata’s Nano, the Car That Few Want to Buy By VIKAS BAJAJ DEC. 9, 2010MUMBAI, India — When it was introduced in early 2009, the egg-shaped Tata Nano was billed as a modern-day people’s car, an ultracheap vehicle that would bring greater mobility to the masses of India and, eventually, the world. But those ambitions have stalled — for now, at least. Though car sales have shot up across India, because of an economy that is growing at nearly 9 percent annually, sales of the Nano have been falling for the last four months. Its maker, Tata Motors, sold only 509 Nanos to its dealers in November — a stark contrast to the 9,000 it delivered in July. Last year, when media coverage and auto writers’ praise were stoking demand, Tata had orders for more than 200,000 Nanos, which has a list price starting at about $2,900. But as Tata has struggled with problems like production delays and fires in some of the cars, rival cars like the Maruti Suzuki Alto have overtaken the Nano. The Alto, which starts at $6,200 here, had sales of more than 30,000 in November, making it India’s best-selling car last month. On Thursday the Tata company announced that it would extend the warranty on the Nano, including those that have already been sold, to four years, from 18 months. The Nano’s celebrated rollout had helped prompt other big automakers, like General Motors and Renault-Nissan, to announce plans for ultracheap people’s cars of their own for sale in India and other developing countries."

They lived in a village called Awingna, which linguists translate as \"\"abiding place.\"\" The Awingna chief Matheo (who also held sway over several other nearby villages) was baptized at Mission San Gabriel in 1774. [ 7]La Puente Valley Women's Club is listed on the National Register of Historic Sites In 1769, the Spanish Portolá expedition became the first Europeans to see inland portions of Alta California. On July 30, the party camped on the east side of the San Gabriel River, in today's unincorporated area of Bassett. Father Juan Crespi wrote in his diary that, the next day, they had to build a bridge (Spanish \"\"puente\"\") to cross the miry San Gabriel River. [ 8]With the establishment of Mission San Gabriel, the area encompassing Awingna and what is now the city of La Puente became part of Rancho La Puente, established as a mission outpost and ranch."

With this, you can compare how the Latin sentence looks with how the English sentence looks, and we can pick out similarities and differences.

"text": "Dividend Seekers: Utility Stocks are Pricey Now – Here’s the Path to Shares With Dividend Growthby Carla Fried August 02, 2012Everything you need to know about investor sentiment right now can be found in the utility sector. This staid corner of the market has always been the go-to sector for yield seekers. Now more than ever: The likes of Consolidated Edison ( ED ), Southern Co. ( SO ), PG&E ( PCG) and Dominion Resources ( D) all serve up dividend yields that are more than double the 1.5% yield for a 10-year Treasury note. PCG Dividend Yield data by YCharts What yield seekers might not realize though is that legions of risk averse investors spooked by market volatility and starved for yield have bid up utility stocks to pricey levels. Historically, the utility sector has an average price/earnings ratio about 25% below the overall market. Today the sector trades at a large premium to the market. According to S&P IQ, the utility sector within the S&P 500 stock index has a PE ratio of 15.6 based on estimated 2012 earnings. The overall PE ratio for the S&P 500 index is 13.1. And with a forecast of sluggish earnings growth in 2013 for the sector, that high valuation is expected to persist next year as well. S&P IQ forecasts a 15.1 2013 PE ratio for the utility sector, compared to 11.7 for the overall S&P 500."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Chemistry How was iron discovered? Follow 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The first signs of use of iron come from the Sumerians and the Egyptians, where around 4000 BCE, a few items, such as the tips of spears, daggers and ornaments, were being fashioned from iron recovered from meteorites. Because meteorites fall from the sky, some linguists have conjectured that the English word iron (OE īsern), which has cognates in many northern and western European languages, derives from the Etruscan aisar which means \"\"the gods\"\". [ 1] Even if this is not the case, the word is likely a loan into pre-Proto-Germanic from Celtic or Italic (Krahe IF 46:184f. compares Old Irish, Illyrian, Venetic and Messapic forms). The meteoric origin of Iron in its first use by humans is also alluded to in the Quran : \"\"and We sent down Iron, in which is (material for) mighty war, as well as many benefits for mankind\"\" (57:25). Ancient Greeks considered Halybes to be \"\"the inventors of iron\"\". The people of the Caucasian Isthmus, Khaldi people (or Khalib/Halyb and Halisones by Strabo) were one of the oldest west-Georgian tribes (4th to 2nd millennia BC). By 3500 BCE to 2000 BCE, increasing numbers of smelted iron objects (distinguishable from meteoric iron by the lack of nickel in the product) appear in Mesopotamia, Anatolia, and Egypt. However, their use appears to be ceremonial, and iron was an expensive metal, more expensive than gold."

The Viceroyalty of Peru was one of the two Spanish Viceroyalties in the Americas from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries. The Spanish did not resist the Portuguese expansion of Brazil across the meridian established by the Treaty of Tordesillas. The treaty was rendered meaningless between 1580 and 1640 while Spain controlled Portugal. The creation during the 18th century of Viceroyalties of New Granada and Rio de la Plata (at the expense of Peru's territory) reduced the importance of Lima and shifted the lucrative Andean trade to Buenos Aires, while the fall of the mining and textile production accelerated the progressive decay of the Viceroyalty of Peru. Eventually, the viceroyalty would dissolve, as with much of the Spanish empire, when challenged by national independence movements at the beginning of the nineteenth century."

"text": "\"De minimis From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search De minimis is a Latin expression meaning \"\"about minimal things\"\", normally in the locutions de minimis non curat praetor (\"\"The praetor does not concern himself with trifles\"\") or de minimis non curat lex (\"\"The law does not concern itself with trifles\"\") a legal doctrine by which a court refuses to consider trifling matters. [ 1] [2] Queen Christina of Sweden (r. 1633–1654) favoured the similar Latin adage, aquila non capit muscās (the eagle does not catch flies). [ 3]The general term has come to have a variety of specialised meanings in various contexts as shown below, which indicate that beneath a certain low level a quantity is regarded as trivial, and treated commensurately. Contents [ hide ]1 Examples of application of the de minimis rule1.1 Taxation1.2 European Union usage1.3 Criminology and crime1.4 Risk assessment1.5 Copyright1.6 Education1.7 Miscellaneous examples2 See also3 References Examples of application of the de minimis rule [ edit]Taxation [ edit]Under U. S. tax rules, the de minimis rule governs the treatment of small amounts of market discount. Under the rule, if a bond is purchased with a small amount of market discount (an amount less than 0.25% of the face value of a bond times the number of complete years between the bond's acquisition date and its maturity date) the market discount is considered to be zero. If the market discount is less than the de minimis amount, the discount on the bond is generally treated as a capital gain upon disposition or redemption rather than as ordinary income. [ 4] Under Internal Revenue Service guidelines, the de minimis rule can also apply to any benefit, property, or service provided to an employee that has so little value that reporting for it would be unreasonable or administratively impracticable; for example, use of a company photocopier to copy personal documents – see de minimis fringe benefit. Cash is not excludable, regardless of the amount. [ 5]Specifically in U. S. State income tax, de minimis refers to the point at which withholdings should be initiated for a nonresident working in a state which taxes personal income. Not all U. S. states levy income taxes, and there's little consistency among nonresident de minimis standards for those that do."

"text": "\"Which Pickups Hold Their Value Best? Posted by Mark Williams | April 20, 2012Ever wonder which new trucks today are likely to hold their value best over the next five years? That's exactly the kind of data Edmunds.com has been collecting in order to offer new and used car buyers some helpful advice. They call it their annual Best Retained Value Awards . In order to qualify, each vehicle had to be on sale by the end of the previous year and have sales that account for at least 20-percent of average sales in their respective segment. Additionally, any brand that sold more 100,000 units in the previous year were automatically eligible. The three categories in the pickup truck category were compact truck, large light truck, and large HD truck. Edmunds.com also selects two runners-up in each category as well. The winners are: Compact Truck: Toyota Tacoma, with an expected retained value of 57.3-percent of original cost. ( And that percentage is the highest retained-value number of any vehicle in any category.)"

Includes the Catholic Encyclopedia, Church Fathers, Summa, Bible and more — all for only $19.99... Bishop of Auxerre, born at Auxerre c. 380; died at Ravenna, 31 July, 448. He was the son of Rusticus and Germanilla, and his family was one of the noblest in Gaul in the latter portion of the fourth century. He received the very best education provided by the distinguished schools of Arles and Lyons, and then went to Rome, where he studied eloquence and civil law. He practised there before the tribunal of the prefect for some years with great success. His high birth and brilliant talents brought him into contact with the court, and he married Eustachia, a lady highly esteemed in imperial circles. The emperor sent him back to Gaul, appointing him one of the six dukes, entrusted with the government of the Gallic provinces. He resided at Auxerre and gave himself up to all the enjoyments that naturally fell to his lot. At length he incurred the displeasure of the bishop, St. Amator. It appears that Germain was accustomed to hang the trophies of the chase on a certain tree, which in earlier times had been the scene of pagan worship."

"text": "Mondello Palermo's beach, lovely though crowded Mondello is a small seaside resort with a wonderful beach just a short bus ride from the centre of the Sicilian capital Palermo. Mondello is more or less a suburb of the city, and excursions to the sea at Mondello are a ritual for Palermitani. The beach is generally crowded, but there's a sunny holiday atmosphere at Mondello, and like the locals, tourists may wish to take time off from their business of sightseeing, and relax with a few hedonistic hours by the turquoise sea. About Mondello The coastline at Mondello used to be marshy and plagued by malaria, so the settlement doesn't have the historic pedigree of other Sicilian towns. It was only at the end of the nineteenth century that the land was subject to improvement schemes; by the early twentieth century a Belgian company began developing property, and wealthy residents of Palermo started buying up the new, elegant 'Liberty-style' villas by the beach. The lines of these villini are still an appealing feature of the town, though many visitors' eyes will be fixed firmly on the sea. Mondello is more than just a beach resort; it's an education in Sicilian custom, rituals and adolescent bonding. The soft fine sand and the rows of changing cabins get packed with groups of youngsters just out of (or skiving off from) school, engaged in the large-group socialising that is the Italian norm. Although the beach games can get boisterous, and the sands choc-a-bloc with towels and sun-oiled bodies, the atmosphere remains civilised and good-spirited (maybe because alcohol doesn't play much part in beach society here), as families, elderly ladies, teenage groups and young couples all unite in worshipping the sun and sea. The Mondello beach is long and curving, made of soft pale sand sloping very gently into the turquoise sea."

It is loaded onto the ferry for the short crossing. Sultry Palermo is a heady mix of decadence, splendour and decay. With a rich history and architectural heritage dating back to the Phoenicians, by way of the Arabs and Normans, it is a city like no other. Badly damaged during the Second World War, today gleaming, brightly coloured palazzi stand next to crumbling ruins; bustling, ancient lanes and markets open on to seemingly abandoned squares.

The basic idea behind the app is easy, painless file and information transfer from PC to mobile and vice versa. This is accomplished using a dock that plugs into your PC's USB port. Once hooked up, you can share your mouse and keyboard with your Samsung phone, dragging and dropping files, and copying and pasting information as you please. Users can also set the service to automatically sync photos. Here's Samsung's introductory video for the product: Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available. Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 0:00As great as the service looks, the tagline \"\"PC in Mobile, Mobile in PC\"\" is at least a little misleading - Side Sync doesn't just work with just any PC – it's only compatible Samsung PCs. As a matter of fact, it only works with some Samsung PCs, so far including the ATIV Book, ATIV Book Q, ATIV One, and ATIV Tab globally, and the same selection inside Korea, with the addition of the ATIV Smart PC. This is its fatal flaw. If you own a PC that's not part of the above ATIV family, you can forget about effortlessly transferring files and information between your devices with Side Sync."

Both countries were at the mercy of factional strife, coups, and street fighting. Fear of Communism. When the Communists came to power in Russia, they executed Tsar Nicholas II, cruelly bayoneting his daughters. This sent a chill down every royal spine in Europe (many of whom were related to Nicholas.) The wealthy also feared for their power and riches. Communists were active in both countries, trying to get themselves elected or take the government by force. Both Mussolini and Hitler exploited this fear to secure help from the wealthy and powerful. Wounded national pride in the wake of WW I. Although Italy was among the victors of WW I, it was quickly marginalized by the other victors."

"text": "By Dennis Hoey Portland Press Herald Share Terry Skillin, president and owner of Skillin’s Greenhouses in Brunswick, Cumberland and Falmouth, has begun to notice that local gardeners are having greater success growing more southern varieties of produce such as tomatoes, peppers and melons. It’s a sign that Maine and the nation are getting hotter, according to a new analysis by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The USDA’s new plant hardiness zone map, which was released last week, shows how growing zones have changed since the last growing guide was published 22 years ago. The map is considered the standard by which gardeners and growers can determine which plants are most likely to thrive in a specific geographical location. The new plant hardiness zone map — the old map was published in 1990 — is based on temperature data gathered over a 30-year period between 1976 and 2005. It was jointly developed by the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service and PRISM, a climate group based at Oregon State University. In Maine, the biggest shifts occur in the midcoast and York County. On the new map, the midcoast of Maine and the southern portion of York County have moved from zone 5b to zone 6a. The rest of the area along the Maine coast, including parts between the new 6a zones, remains at 5b. The average annual extreme cold temperature in zone 5b is minus 10 to minus 15 degrees."

Naturally, many materials change shape, eg. melt, at high temperatures. What’s special about some of them is that their state, shape and/or color can be altered at relatively low temperatures (provided through hot water, body heat, hair dryers, ambient heaters, ovens, or just a hot summer day), making them easy to use and suitable for DIY projects. In this post I’ll go over thermochromic pigments and a few materials they have been incorporated into, namely paint, fabric, film and glass. Thermochromic Pigments change color when exposed to heat and turn back to their original color when the temperature drops again. According to TEP: Most thermochromic materials are based on liquid crystal technology. At specific temperatures the liquid crystals re-orientate to produce an apparent change of colour. The liquid crystal material itself is micro-encapsulated – i.e., contained within microscopic spherical capsules typically just 10 microns in diameter. Billions of these capsules are mixed with a suitable base to make thermochromic printing ink or, for example, plastics destined for injection molding."

If you're looking to compare that to other per-month billing schemes, Amazon Prime's cost averages out to $8.25 per month. You can, however, get a 30-day free trial when you first sign up for Amazon Prime. What do you get with Amazon Prime? We will discuss the major benefits of Amazon Prime more thoroughly in our Amazon Prime Benefits article, but here's a quick list: Free two-day shipping of items bought on Amazon throughout the continental U. S. Free same-day delivery of items bought on Amazon in major U. S. metropolitan areas Free watching of online movies and TV shows through Amazon Instant Video Discounts on some items, and early access to deals on others Free access to songs, playlists, and custom radio stations in Amazon Music Unlimited storage for photos in Amazon Cloud Drive Flat delivery fee on groceries from Prime Pantry, including Amazon Elements products Access to early Kindle e-books and a lending library Ability to share these benefits with another member of your household Is Amazon Prime worth it? Whether or not Amazon Prime will be worth its cost is, to put it bluntly, largely dependent on how many things you want to use Amazon for, and how often. The two largest benefits of Amazon Prime are the savings (in terms of both time and money) when it comes to shipping items that you receive from Amazon, and the access it affords you to Amazon's libraries of digital media content (i.e. movies, TV shows, music, and e-books)."

By PCMag Staff July 4, 2017 12:01AM ESTFacebook Twitter Linkedin Pinterest Reddit Email Copy In 2014, Amazon Prime got a price hike from $79 to $99 per year. It was the first for Amazon Prime in the program's nine-year history, and the online retail giant said the increase was necessary to offset the fuel and transportation costs needed to deliver millions of items in two days, for free. It's free to join for 30 days, so you can try without making that year-long commitment. Sign up at the holidays to get free shipping on your gift purchases and then cancel, for example. There's also the option to sign up for Prime at $10.99 per month, though if you plan to use it for any length of time, the $99 annual fee is a better deal. But since its launch, Amazon has added a number of perks to Amazon Prime in addition to free, two-day shipping, like Amazon Video streaming, Amazon Prime Music, Prime Reading, and Amazon Prime Photos. If you're a regular Amazon user, Prime is a pretty good deal. But perhaps you're on a budget and are looking for ways to pay less than $99 for Amazon Prime free shipping. Here are some options.1."

While the market for DVDs and Blu-ray discs is still going strong, instantly streaming the movie or TV show you want to watch beats a trip to the store and a high-price tag for a disc nine times out of 10. ( For one thing, you don't have to change out of your pajamas. ) Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime have established themselves as the three most popular subscription video-streaming services, with more than 100 million subscribers combined. While programs like i Tunes, M-Go and Amazon Instant Video (Amazon's non-Prime video streaming service) sell a la carte content, the big three services charge you a flat monthly (or yearly) rate for as much content as you care to consume. MORE: Best Streaming Video Services Subscribing to all three services, however, would cost at least $291 per year — not an insubstantial sum, although still less than a cable subscription. While each one of the services is worthwhile in its own right, each one also presents a slightly different value proposition. Netflix is the great-granddaddy of streaming services, providing a robust selection of movies and TV shows, although there's nothing too new. Hulu's selection, by comparison, is much smaller, but you can often find shows just a day after they air on broadcast TV. Amazon Prime is part of a much larger service that also nets you free shipping on Amazon products and a streaming-music library."

Shoppers have recently noticed that some deals on Amazon are listed as \"\"exclusives\"\" for Prime members, and they're not happy about it. Published April 29, 2016BY: JULIE RAMHOLDStaff Writer Some Amazon shoppers might have noticed recently that some items are \"\"reserved exclusively for Prime members\"\". Five specific video games and movies were brought to the attention of various websites as being part of this new trend. But as it turns out, this trend is anything but new: It's been quietly happening off and on since at least 2014. Regardless of when they started, these exclusives seem to be Amazon strategically trying to pressure certain high-value shoppers into getting Prime. And while Prime has many advantages, these exclusives shouldn't necessarily push you into subscribing. Exclusives for Prime Members Have Existed Since at Least 2014We first noted Prime exclusive deals on Deal News as early as October of 2014. In December of 2014, Amazon customers were complaining in threads on its site and speculating about what such moves meant. In January of 2015, a post surfaced on reddit about non-Prime shoppers again unable to purchase items listed as exclusive."

But I wish the company was not sneaky about the way it handles automatic renewals for its Prime memberships. Try going to Amazon.com to find a place where you can stop your automatic renewals for Prime membership. There is no such place. That is what I discovered today when I tried to turn off the auto renewals. It recently dawned on my wife and I that we both had prime memberships. Like many other consumers we don’t always check things as closely as we should. Anyway, after making a couple of purchases on Amazon today I went looking on the site to find the link that would end the automatic renewals for my account. Couldn’t find it. So I got on Amazon’s chat line and Maybelle from Amazon.com straightened me out."

From coffee shops to bookstores, grocery stores to pharmacies, it seems like everyone is trying to get in on the loyalty program trend. Wallets and key chains bulge with little loyalty cards, usually obtained simply by making a purchase and providing a little bit of personal information. Traditional loyalty programs work by giving customers rewards based on the purchases they make. Amazon, however, has been able to successfully market a program called Amazon Prime, where customers actually pay a fee to enjoy the benefits. It’s not a cheap venture, and it is definitely important to weigh the benefits against your own needs before paying the price. Here’s what I’ve learned in my year of using the Amazon Prime service.

This is also the rendering of melits , meaning \"\"an interpreter,\"\" in 2 Chronicles 32:31 ; and of malak , a \"\"messenger,\"\" in 2 Chronicles 35:21 ; Isaiah 30:4 ; 33:7 ; Ezek. 17:15 . This is the name used by the apostle as designating those who are appointed by God to declare his will ( 2 Corinthians 5:20 ; Ephesians 6:20 ). The Hebrews on various occasions and for various purposes had recourse to the services of ambassadors, e.g., to contract alliances ( Joshua 9:4 ), to solicit favours ( Numbers 20:14 ), to remonstrate when wrong was done ( Judges 11:12 ), to condole with a young king on the death of his father ( 2 Samuel 10:2 ), and to congratulate a king on his accession to the throne ( 1 Kings 5:1 ). To do injury to an ambassador was to insult the king who sent him ( 2 Samuel 10:5 ). These dictionary topics are from M. G. Easton M. A., D.

"text": "\"PAGAN HOLIDAYSSection Ten of Biblical Holy Days Compiled by Richard C. Nickels Distributed by: Giving & Sharing, PO Box 100, Neck City, MO 64849Introduction Section Ten of Biblical Holy Days covers the subject of Holidays, which are commonly observed, but NOT derived from the Bible. Encyclopedias and newspapers regularly report the pagan origins of many of these popular holidays, yet the majority still continue to observe them. The Bible, however, condemns following pagan traditions. The Pagan Holidays, even if they have been dressed up by the Catholic Church to seem to be Christian, stand in contradiction to the Almighty's Holy Days commanded in the Bible. The Messiah said that the majority would worship Him in vain, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. Christmas, Easter, Halloween, Valentine's Day, New Year's Day, and other holidays of pagan origin are to be carefully avoided by all those who seek to follow the Bible. Let us observe the Bible Holy Days, NOT the holidays of man. \"\" Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain . . .\"\" Jeremiah 10:2-3. \"\""

It stood on the eastern bank of the Tanitic branch of the Nile. Its name indicates a place of departure from a country, and hence it has been identified with Avaris (Tanis, the modern San ), the capital of the Shepherd dynasty in Egypt, built seven years after Hebron and existing before the time of Abraham. It was taken by the Shepherd kings in their invasion of Egypt, and by them rebuilt, and garrisoned, according to Manetho, with 240,000 men. This cite is mentioned in connection with the plagues in such a manner as to leave no doubt that it is the city spoken of in the narrative in Exodus as that where Pharaoh dwelt, ( Psalms 78:42,43) and where Moses wrought his wonders on the field of Zoan a rich plain extending thirty miles toward the east. Tanis gave its name to the twenty-first and twenty-third dynasties and hence its mention in Isaiah. ( Isaiah 19:13; 30:4) (The present \"\"field of Zoan\"\" is a barren waste, very thinly inhabited. \"\" One of the principal capitals of Pharaoh is now the habitation of fishermen the resort of wild beasts, and infested with reptiles and malignant fevers.\"\" There have been discovered a great number of monuments here which throw light upon the Bible history. Brugsch refers to two statues of colossal size of Mermesha of the thirteenth dynasty, wonderfully perfect in the execution of the individual parts and says that memorials of Rameses the Great lie scattered broadcast like the mouldering bones of generations slain long ago."

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.

"text": "\"John Wycliffe The first hand-written English language Bible manuscripts were produced in 1380's AD by John Wycliffe, an Oxford professor, scholar, and theologian. Wycliffe, (also spelled “Wycliff” & “Wyclif”), was well-known throughout Europe for his opposition to the teaching of the organized Church, which he believed to be contrary to the Bible. With the help of his followers, called the Lollards, and his assistant Purvey, and many other faithful scribes, Wycliffe produced dozens of English language manuscript copies of the scriptures. They were translated out of the Latin Vulgate, which was the only source text available to Wycliffe. The Pope was so infuriated by his teachings and his translation of the Bible into English, that 44 years after Wycliffe had died, he ordered the bones to be dug-up, crushed, and scattered in the river!John Wycliffe (1320-1384) was a theologian and early proponent of reform in the Roman Catholic Church during the 14th century. He initiated the first translation of the Bible into the English language and is considered the main precursor of the Protestant Reformation. Wycliffe was born at Ipreswell (modern Hipswell), Yorkshire, England, between 1320 and 1330; and he died at Lutterworth (near Leicester) December 31, 1384. The Early Life of John Wycliffe His family was of early Saxon origin, long settled in Yorkshire. In his day the family was a large one, covering a considerable territory, and its principal seat was Wycliffe-on-Tees, of which Ipreswell was an outlying hamlet. 1324 is the year usually given for Wycliffe's birth."

(the two snakes around the rod with the wings is misused...it's suppose to be a single snake around the rod with no wings) Either way, I would not wear this symbol because of what snakes/serpents represents. It's just my choice, not trying to convince anyone of anything. Interesting to know the origin of things. Take a look.... The rod of Asclepius (also known as the rod of Asklepios, rod of Aesculapius or asklepian)...is an ancient Greek symbol associated with astrology and with healing the sick through medicine. It consists of a serpent entwined around a staff. Asclepius, the son of Apollo, was practitioner of medicine in ancient Greek mythology. The Star of Life features a rod of Asclepius. Symbolism The rod of Asclepius symbolizes the healing arts by combining the serpent, which in shedding its skin is a symbol of rebirth and fertility, with the staff, a symbol of authority befitting the god of Medicine. The snake wrapped around the staff is widely claimed to be a species of rat snake, Elaphe longissima, also known as the Aesculapian or Asclepian snake. It is native to southeastern Europe, Asia Minor, and some central European spa regions, apparently brought there by Romans for their healing properties."

In fact, its message seems like nonsense: Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall; All the king’s horses, and all the king’s men, Couldn’t put Humpty together again. Just a clever little rhyme often animated with a funny egg figure perched on a wall. But today I want us to stop and take a closer look. I am often amazed at the profound meanings that come from children’s books and children’s nursery rhymes like this one. Perhaps the poem remains popular among children because it has a deeper meaning that we all can sense. In this silly little poem, we have portrayed our human condition and the futility of most efforts to fix the world in which we live. And today I want to suggest that it can serve as an outline for understanding what Paul says in our text for today. The first line says, “Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.” This line is the beginning of the poem but it also parallels of the beginning of humankind."

It is listed first in the \"\"gifts\"\" given to the church ( Ephesians 4:11 ), and the church is described as being \"\"built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone \"\" ( Ephesians 2:19-21 ). However, despite their importance, many people have questions about the apostles: Who were they? What did they do? Do we have apostles today? These questions and others will be explored in this article. Christ's Ambassadors - The Apostles As we observed in our study of the work of the church, Jesus provided the universal church with certain \"\"gifts\"\" to aid the completion of her work ( Ephesians 4:7-16 ). The blessings derived from these gifts originate in these offices' wise charter, which when properly understood and staffed, provides crucial assistance that the church desparately needs:\"\"And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.\"\" ( Ephesians4:11-13)The first in this list of spiritual offices is that of apostle. The original word for apostle was a generic Greek word ( apostolos) that meant ambassador, or \"\"a delegate, messenger, one sent forth with orders\"\" (Thayer's Greek Lexicon, 676)."

Gabriel Lavery, CMRIAt a recent Fatima Conference at Mount St. Michael, I had the great pleasure of listening to a talk by Dr. Leonard Giblin, a Catholic scientist. It was refreshing to hear him explain in part of his lecture the true history behind the case of Galileo, an unfortunate event often used to attack the Catholic Church. It interested me so much that I decided to research it further. Most people have been taught that Galileo was unjustly condemned by the Catholic Church for his scientific views on the solar system, and that this was due to an opposition to and ignorance of science on the part of the Church. Some even say he was tortured and imprisoned. The true facts of the case of Galileo, however, do not in any way support the view that the Catholic Church is opposed to true science. A number of non-Catholic authors who have been honest enough to research the case do not agree with this attack on the Church. One in particular, Sherwood Taylor, became a Catholic as a result of his research. [ 1] So what is the true history of the case of Galileo?"

He also said that nowhere in the New testament are believers requested to pray for sinners or to ask God for a non-believer's salvation. He said the plan of salvation by God is already fulfilled, and we only preach the Gospel and live a model life for unsaved people to come to our Lord.

"text": "The beginning of a new year always evokes the feeling of a new beginning and a fresh start. It is a time when we each revaluate our lives and decide on what we would like to change and improve. As a result many of us decide to send flowers to family and close friends in order to celebrate the prospect of a new beginning. However, choosing the right flowers in order to symbolise this message can be difficult at times. In order to choose the right flowers to send your message of a new beginning, it is important to focus on the meanings of the flower. The first widely accepted book describing the meanings of flowers was named: ‘ Le langage des fleurs ’ and published in 1819 by Charlotte de Latou. In this book the meanings of flowers which originally came from the Victorian era to communicate a secret message to another, were described and elaborated on. The Victorians had a huge interest in the meaning of flowers and as a result used the meanings in order to tell others how they felt. Many writers over the years have also used the language of flowers in order to convey messages and metaphors throughout their writing. Shakespeare being the most well known writer to use the term ‘flower’ over 100 times in his plays and sonnets."

In addition to this, Katniss’s bow and arrow symbolises many things. One, her connection with nature. A weapon forged of wood and other natural resources (for Katniss, at least) and the fact that Katniss can make her own shows the way in which she can utilise the natural environment. For Katniss, the forest was her main source of survival both in and out of the arena. It also shows her status as a reluctant hero with a feisty personality (along the lines of what Andrew Piereder has said). A bow and arrow is not a spear or a club, which would generally cause a bloody, messy death. The bow and arrow is a weapon that is subtle and requires a much more delicate aim. Peeta’s father remarked how Katniss managed to kill an animal by shooting it square in the eye without puncturing the body. Just as the bow and arrow is simple yet lethal, Katniss is equally as quiet yet fierce."

Here the emphasis is on the writing which occurs between the two, the main body of the essay. It takes practice to manage the material you use in analysing and interpreting a work of literature. With this in mind it should be stressed that it is important to plan the essay in advance. Even in timed conditions such as exams you must take the time to think about the structure of the essay. Think about what points you want to make beforehand, and then think about the best way of arranging this material in sequence. The order in which you make the points will go a long way to determining how clear the arguments you put forward will be. You do not have to say everything there is to be said about a given subject and you should try to develop a feel for the most important elements. An essay should be the development of argument, interpretation and analysis through an extended and flowing sequence of points and illustrations. This entails work at the level of the sentence, of course, but also, very importantly, you need to work at the level of the paragraph."

The story goes that, following one of the bloodiest battles of World War I, in the fields of Flanders in western Europe,when the ground was completely churned up and muddied, thousands of red poppies sprang up. The seeds had lain dormant in the soil and, after being aerated with the churning of the soil from the soldiers' boots and fertilised with their blood, the poppies grew abundantly, springing forth new life from death. This is why poppies are worn on ANZAC Day, Remembrance Day (commemorating Armistice Day) and other solemn occasions when we remember the soldiers who fought or even gave their lives for our freedom. Another reason poppies came to such prominence in association with World War I is because of how they were immortalised in that most famous poem of WWI, In Flanders Fields, written by John Mc Crae.

It is believed that performing the dragon dance scares away evil spirits and all the bad luck associated with them, and brings in good luck and wealth instead. This is why the dragon dance is very popular during Chinese New year as well as during other auspicious occasions such as weddings and other festivities. In the dance, a team of dancers carry the dragon – which is an image of the Chinese dragon – on poles. The lead dancers lift, dip, thrust, and sweep the head, which may contain animated features controlled by a dancer and is sometimes rigged to belch smoke from pyrotechnic devices.

A photograph of the Eiffel tower may represent Paris, but the name \"\"Paris\"\" represents cosmopolitanism, cuisine, love, and much more. In these cases, a word may be worth a thousand pictures. Symbols work like images that have meaning added to them. A rose is just a flower, until it is one of a bunch given as a present.

Her last name Du Bois is of French origin as well and translates as made of wood. Since the colour white stands for purity, innocence and virtue, the symbolism of Blanche‘s first name reveals these qualities, which stand in contrast to her actual character traits. The name suggests that Blanche is a very innocent and pure person, but throughout the play it becomes obvious that Blanche cannot call any of these traits her own. Only the illusory image which she tries to create for herself suggests these traits, but her true nature is not like that at all."

The cost was disabling digestive problems: bloating, pain and acid reflux. “After a year of pain, more than $20,000 in uncomfortable testing and drugs for reflux, I took myself off Ambien.

Unless I take ambien, I can't fall asleep. It just doesn't happen, and I don't know why...it's weird. I doubt I have a physical addiction to the drug...the reason I started taking it in the first place was due to this problem, and I don't even take a full pill at night. It's like insomnia in its purest form, and what frustrates me the most is I don't have an answer as to why I'm like this. Even if I take ambien, there's a good chance I won't get the best quality sleep. Even before I started having such bad insomnia, I'd wake up multiple times a night to pee. Nowadays I still usually do that, or I'd wake up from a vivid dream I was having (happens a lot). I just cannot wrap my head around why I, or any other person, just can't fall asleep. It seems like such a natural and essential process, and I'm thinking I'm missing out on a better life because I'm tired, fatigued, lazy, and depressed all day so I never want to do anything."

Ambien has been shown to decrease sleep latency for up to 35 days in controlled clinical studies [see Clinical Studies (14)].

The recommended initial dose is 5 mg for women and either 5 or 10 mg for men, taken only once per night immediately before bedtime with at least 7–8 hours remaining before the planned time of awakening. If the 5 mg dose is not effective, the dose can be increased to 10 mg. In some patients, the higher morning blood levels following use of the 10 mg dose increase the risk of next day impairment of driving and other activities that require full alertness [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]. The total dose of Ambien should not exceed 10 mg once daily immediately before bedtime. Ambien should be taken as a single dose and should not be readministered during the same night. The recommended initial doses for women and men are different because zolpidem clearance is lower in women. Special Populations Elderly or debilitated patients may be especially sensitive to the effects of zolpidem tartrate. The recommended dose of Ambien in these patients is 5 mg once daily immediately before bedtime [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1), Use in Specific Populations (8.5) ]."

Ambien is used to treat insomnia, but it is often only used for the short-term treatment of sleep disorders for less than two weeks. Ambien is highly addictive, so if you or someone you know may be addicted to Ambien and alcohol, it is best to seek treatment as soon as possible. Treatment for addiction to Ambien and alcohol can be completed in detox and rehabilitation. For information on the locations of inpatient or outpatient facilities near you, contact 1-888-919-3845. Ambien is a sedative that slows down the chemical activities of the brain, making it easier to get a full night's sleep. However, Ambien is supposed to be taken alone, approximately 15 to 30 minutes before bed, and only when you can sleep for six to eight hours undisturbed. When someone mixes Ambien with alcohol, the sedative nature of the drug can be increased. Recreational use of Ambien mixed with alcohol can produce visual effects and euphoria, but it may lead to partial amnesia as well."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Ambulatory care nursing is the nursing care of patients who receive treatment on an outpatient basis, ie they do not require admission to a hospital for an overnight stay. [ 1] Ambulatory care includes those clinical, organizational and professional activities engaged in by registered nurses with and for individuals, groups, and populations who seek assistance with improving health and/or seek care for health-related problems. [ 2]The American Academy of Ambulatory Care Nursing (AAACN) describes ambulatory care nursing as a comprehensive practice which is built on a broad knowledge base of nursing and health sciences, and applies clinical expertise rooted in the nursing process. [ 2]Ambulatory care nurses use evidence based information across a variety of outpatient health care settings to achieve and ensure patient safety and quality of care while improving patient outcomes. Contact with patients in ambulatory care is often relatively brief, and in the context of a high volume of patients. Nurses in this setting require sound assessment skills and the ability to guide patients in making informed health choices. [ 3] Quality ambulatory care nursing has been associated with fewer emergency room visits, hospital visits and readmissions. [ 4]Defining Characteristics [ edit]Ambulatory nursing care requires critical reasoning and astute clinical judgment in order to expedite appropriate care and treatment, especially given that the patient may present with complex problems or potentially life threatening conditions. Ambulatory care registered nurses provide care across the life span to individuals, families, caregivers, groups, populations, and communities. Ambulatory care nursing occurs across the continuum of care in a variety of settings, which include but are not limited to hospital-based clinic/centers, solo or group medical practices, ambulatory surgery & diagnostic procedure centers, telehealth service environments, university and community hospital clinics, military and veterans administration settings, nurse-managed clinics, managed care organizations, colleges and educational institutions, free standing community facilities, care coordination organizations, and patient homes."

When a patient needs medical attention without the need for admission, it is called ambulatory care. Ambulatory care includes several medical procedures or treatments that can be performed on an ambulatory basis. Blood tests, X-rays, endoscopy, biopsy and vaccination are some examples of ambulatory care. A baby visiting a pediatrician for a monthly checkup is also considered as ambulatory care. Many chronic medical conditions require regular ambulatory care appointments. Patients do not necessarily stay in the hospital for admission to be treated. Asthma patients often undergo outpatient care. Providing a nebulizer for asthma patients is an example of ambulatory care."

The second resource used was Medicare’s website as they are the perspective payment system listed in CCMC’s glossary of terms. CCMC Definitions Related to Perspective Payment Systems Prospective Payment System: A healthcare payment system used by the federal government since 1983 for reimbursing healthcare providers/agencies for medical care provided to Medicare and Medicaid participants. The payment is fixed and based on the operating costs of the patient’s diagnosis. Peer Review Organization (PRO): A federal program established by the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 that monitors the medical necessity and quality of services provided to Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries under the prospective payment system. Diagnosis-Related Group (DRG): A patient classification scheme that provides a means of relating the type of patient a hospital treats to the costs incurred by the hospital. DRGs demonstrate groups of patients using similar resource consumption and length of stay. It also is known as a statistical system of classifying any inpatient stay into groups for the purposes of payment. DRGs may be primary or secondary; an outlier classification also exists. This is the form of reimbursement that the CMS uses to pay hospitals for Medicare and Medicaid recipients."

"text": "For Healthcare Professionals Healthcare Compensation Healthcare Trends The Basics of Outpatient or Ambulatory Care What Do You Pay? By Andrea Clement Santiago Updated March 27, 2018Share Pin Email Print Thomas Barwick / Stone / Getty Images Outpatient care, sometimes called ambulatory care, is defined as medical care or treatment that does not require an overnight stay in a hospital or medical facility. Outpatient care may be administered in a medical office or a hospital, but most commonly, it is provided in a medical office or outpatient surgery center. Outpatient care can include routine services such as check-ups or visits to clinics. Even more involved procedures such as surgical procedures, so long as they allow you to leave the hospital or facility on the same day, can still be considered as outpatient care. Many surgical services, rehabilitation treatments, as well as mental health services are available as outpatient services. Outpatient care tends to be less expensive than inpatient care since it is often less involved and does not require a patient's continued presence in a facility, which uses up less of the hospital or medical clinic's resources. For the purposes of insurance, most outpatient care is broken out based on the type of service provided primary care physician, specialist, mental health, etc.). Outpatient surgery is one area that is specifically identified, and describes your share of costs should you need a procedure or operation that does not require overnight admission at the facility. Like inpatient treatments, the costs associated with the facility itself and the physician/surgeon performing the procedure are often treated as two different coverage benefits."

While some tests are looking to see what you are ABLE to learn, the purpose of the ANCC certification exam, offered by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), are to test your understanding of what you have already learned. The goal of the ANCC exams are to use a standardized testing process to create an objective assessment of a test taker's knowledge and skills. In other words, it's more about what you know than your ability to solve clever puzzles. This is good news for those who are serious about being prepared, because it boils down to a very simple strategy: You can succeed on the ANCC exams and become a ANCC board certified nurse by learning critical concepts on the test so that you are prepared for as many questions as possible. Repetition and thorough preparation is a process that rewards those who are serious about being prepared, which means that succeeding on the ANCC exam is within the reach of virtually anyone interested in learning the material. This is great news! It means that if you've been worried about your upcoming ANCC exam, you can rest easy IF you have a good strategy for knowing what to study and how to effectively use repetition to your advantage. But it also creates another set of problems. If you tried to memorize every single possible thing you can for your ANCC exam, the field of possible things to review would be so huge that you could not hope to cover everything in a reasonable time."

"text": "Contributing Writer January 21, 2010Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) and Meaningful Use Over the past few weeks, since the ONC released its recommendations to CMS concerning Meaningful Use of Electronic Health Records ( EHRs ), as well as the Initial Set of Standards and Certification, we have been blogging on a variety of implications these rules have on physician practices. The documents lay out 25 criteria which are required for EHRs to become Certified (and the actual certification process is currently being detailed). Performance thresholds for each of these 25 criteria are also defined in these documents, which detail exactly what an Eligible Provider (e.g. a physician) must do in order to qualify for HITECH incentive payments beginning in 2011. We have commented on laboratory integration, on interfacing with regional immunization registries, on the role of billing systems, on the state of hospital readiness, and on electronic prescribing. Another of the 25 criteria defined by Meaningful Use is about Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE). The Meaningful Use measure is that for Eligible Providers (EPs), CPOE is used for at least 80% of all orders. What does this mean, exactly? And how does it relate to an ambulatory setting? In a hospital setting, Order Entry is pretty well understood by physicians – it is central to the in-hospital workflow. In a patient’s chart there is a Doctor’s Orders form, which is where the physicians involved in the case write their orders for nursing instructions, medication orders, IV and diet instructions, lab tests to be drawn, imaging studies to be done, physical therapy to be performed, etc."

Sure, they wear scrubs, give shots and carry stethoscopes around their necks, but what does a registered nurse actually do? More than you might think!For starters, registered nurses (RNs) are not limited to working in hospital settings. RNs can also work in clinics, schools, assisted living facilities, homes, schools and more. They can also specialize in areas such as cardiac care, midwifery, family practice, geriatrics, labor and delivery and emergency nursing. Increased access to healthcare and an aging Baby Boomer population have led to high demand for registered nurses. In fact, employment for RNs is projected to increase 16 percent through 2024, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

"text": "\"Was a giant 700-pound snake recently killed in Proctor, North Carolina? Two photographs showing what appear to be absolutely enormous snakes are currently going viral — both images feature captions stating that the snakes in question are: over 700 lbs, 98 feet long, man-killers, found in North Carolina, found in Indonesia, etc. Are any of these things true? In the article below I’ll go over the facts with regards to these photos, and also provide some general information on snakes — including providing information on the maximum sizes that snakes can reach. With regards to the image posted above, the caption that generally accompanies it states that the snake in question was found in a lake in Proctor, North Carolina, before being killed and pulled from there by an excavation machine. The snake is generally described as being somewhere around 46 to 98 feet long. ( Lol, is that one of the effects of deforestation? The discovery of incredibly big snakes? ) There are some clear issues with those numbers though — there are no snake species (currently in the world) that grow to anywhere near those lengths, and perhaps more importantly, the snake in the photo is much closer to the camera than any of the other objects in the photo are, thus giving an exaggerated sense of size. It is clear though that even with exaggeration, that is a very large snake."

Jaguars have been listed as a Near Threatened species by the IUCN>Scientific Name: Panthera onca Jaguar Pictures [Show slideshow]Species Facts The jaguar has been an American cat since crossing the Bering Land Bridge during the Pleistocene epoch. Once, jaguars roamed over most of North America. Fossils have been found as far north as Missouri dating from the last Ice Age about 25,000 years ago. Constantly pushed southward by a variety of factors, jaguars now can be found only in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas and from Mexico all the way down to Patagonia. They are rare in the United States and are a federal endangered species."

"text": "\"Lighting Bulb codes: what does it all mean?oruboris March 5, 2008Trying to buy the last of my lights, feeling ambushed by all the terminology I've never come accross before. For instance, a fixture I'm looking at on the Bellacor site says: 'Bulb/Watt: Two - 40 watt G-16 1/2 bulbs'. What does that mean? Where can I learn about similar codes? Email Save Comment 1 Like Comments (1)Thank you for reporting this comment. Undo Jon1270This takes some practice and intuition, because retailers don't always refer to the complete code for a particular bulb, just the part they think is significant. A letter at the beginning often indicates the shape of the bulb, i.e. G for globe-shaped, T for tubular, R for reflector. That letter is likely to be followed by a number that is a dimension in eighths of an inch, so G16 1/2 would mean a globe-shaped bulb sixteen and one-half eighths of an inch, or 2 1/16\"\", in diameter. Sometimes, though, you'll see a fixture that says it takes something like a \"\"GU10\"\" bulb; this refers to the type of base the bulb uses -- a GU10 base has a couple of pins that are 10mm apart. Other parts of a bulb code refer to wattage, or beam angle if it's a reflector bulb, or might tell you about special features such as the neodymium coating used on the glass of \"\"daylight\"\" bulbs."

A female goldenrod crab spider ( Misumena vatia) capturing the female of a pair of mating flies. Ambush predators or sit-and-wait predators are carnivorous animals or other organisms, such as some nematophagous fungi and carnivorous plants, that capture or trap prey by stealth or by strategy (typically not conscious strategy), rather than by speed or by strength. In animals, ambush predation is characterized by an animal scanning the environment from a concealed position and then rapidly executing a surprise attack.

Ambush predators are often camouflaged, and may be solitary animals. This mode of predation may be less risky for the predator because lying-in-wait reduces exposure to its own predators. So long as the active predator cannot move faster than its prey, it has little advantage over the ambush predator; however, if the active predator's velocity increases, its advantage increases sharply. [ 2]Ambush predators use many intermediate strategies. For example, when a pursuit predator is faster than its prey over a short distance, but not in a long chase, then either stalking or ambushing becomes necessary as part of the strategy. ["

"text": "Predators: Facts What is a Predator? Predators are wild animals that hunt, or prey on, other animals. All animals need food to live. Predator animals need the flesh of the animals that they kill to survive. Weasels, hawks, wolves, mountain lions, and grizzly bears are all predators. Predators are carnivores, which means their diet consists of meat. Some predators, such as coyotes and bears, are also scavengers, meaning they will eat the carcasses of animals that they didn't hunt themselves. Opposite of predator, you have prey — the animals predators hunt and eat. Prey animals can be anything from the smallest insect to a 1400 pound bull moose. Some prey animals are herbivores, meaning they eat plants."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A billboard placed on the exterior of a venue adjacent to Target Field, so that it is visible from within to compete with a sponsorship held by a competitor. Ambush marketing or ambush advertising is a marketing strategy in which an advertiser \"\" ambushes \"\" an event to compete for exposure against competing advertisers. The term \"\"ambush marketing\"\" was coined by marketing strategist Jerry Welsh, while he was working as the manager of global marketing efforts for American Express in the 1980s. [ 1]Most forms of ambush marketing capitalize on the prominence of a major event through marketing campaigns that associate an advertiser with it, but without actually having paid sponsorship fees to the event's organizer to identify themselves as an \"\"official\"\" partner or sponsor. An advertiser may engage in ambush marketing in \"\"indirect\"\" means—where the advertiser alludes to the imagery and themes of an event without any references to specific trademarks, or in \"\"direct\"\" and \"\"predatory\"\" means—where the advertiser makes statements in their marketing that mislead consumers into believing they are officially associated with the event (including the fraudulent use of official names and trademarks ), or performs marketing activities in and around a venue to dilute the presence of \"\"official\"\" sponsors. Action against ambush marketing is most common in sport; the practice has been a concern to the organizers of major sporting events, as ambush marketing can devalue the exclusive sponsorship rights that are sold to other companies, dilute the exposure of official sponsors, and in some cases, infringe upon the organizers' intellectual property. In an effort to control ambush marketing, organizers of major sporting events (including most prominently, FIFA and the International Olympic Committee) have pushed their host cities to enact special laws restricting the use of their associated intellectual property, the creation of unauthorized \"\"associations\"\" with an event by referring to certain words and concepts, and the ability to ensure that only authorized advertisers may have marketing presence within a specified radius of event sites. Such regulations have attracted controversy for limiting freedom of speech, and for preventing companies from factually promoting themselves in the context of an event. Contents [ hide ]1 Intent and techniques2 Regulation2.1 Examples3 Notable examples3.1 The \"\"credit card wars\"\"3.2 Nike3.3 FIFA World Cup3.4 Olympic Games3.5 NFL3.6 Minneapolis sports venues3.7 Ambushes of Apple4 Impact5 Further reading6 See also7 References Intent and techniques [ edit]Typically, ambush marketing is used to \"\" ride off \"\" the prominence and draw of a major event, aligning promotional activities and publicity around it, without having to pay fees to the event's organizer to be designated as an \"\"official\"\" sponsor in a certain product category. Ambush marketing techniques can be classified into two categories: \"\"direct\"\" forms of ambush marketing involve advertisers promoting themselves as being a part of or associated with an event, diluting the exposure of official sponsors and their respective campaigns—especially if they are the product of the non-sponsor's competitors, while indirect forms of ambush marketing use imagery relating to an event in advertising to evoke a mental connection with it, without specifically mentioning it.

"text": "\"Not Exactly Rocket Science A Blog by Ed Yong Thylacine was more Tasmanian tiger than marsupial wolf Posted Tue, 05/3/2011In the 18 th and 19 th centuries, explorers in Tasmania brought back tales of a strange creature that looked like a wolf with tiger-like stripes on its haunches. That animal was the thylacine. It was a marsupial, one of several mammals that raise their young in pouches, and more closely related to kangaroos and koalas than to dogs or cats. Nonetheless, the similarities stuck, and they earned the thylacine several nicknames including “marsupial wolf” and “Tasmanian tiger”. Superficially, the dog-like features are most obvious. Its species name – cynocephalus – literally means “dog head”. In fact, its skull looks so much like that of a dog that professors at Oxford University would ask students to classify it, as a trick question in their final exams. But the rest of the body tells a different story. After studying the thylacine’s elbow joint, Borja Figueirido and Christine Janis from Brown University think that it ambushed its prey like a cat, rather than chasing it down like a dog. It was more Tasmanian tiger than marsupial wolf."

The mission often determines the size of the patrol. Patrolling is a very general term used to describe a unit that is on the move and is doing something other than attacking a fixed enemy position. Patrol formations are often used during movement in hostile terrain. There are six types of patrols recognized in USMC handbooks. The acronym used is RACESS or CARESS. This stands for Recon, Ambush, Contact, Economy of Force, Security and Search and Attack. Recon patrols are also broken down into three subcategories, point, area and route. The mission of the patrol heavily influences how it is organized and how it will react to enemy contact."

I have previously covered the other three films in their own posts, which are The Silencers (1966), Murderers' Row (1966) & The Ambushers (1967). You can check out those posts if you never read them. This film was loosely based on the Donald Hamilton novel of the same title, which was published in 1960. The book was actually the second of the Matt Helm novels written by Hamilton. The film can be viewed as a reboot of the franchise after the disappointing box office returns and negative reviews of The Ambushers. I stated in my post about The Ambushers that it's my least favorite of the Matt Helm spy spoofs. Phil Karlson, who directed The Silencers, returns behind the camera for this film.

The attack, which took place at a Dallas protest over recent police shootings in Louisiana and Minnesota, is considered the deadliest day for US police in the country since the 9/11 attacks, according to records published by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. The gunman, 25-year-old Micah Xavier Johnson, told negotiators he was upset about police killings of black people and wanted to kill white officers. But as the nation continues a conversation on racism and police relations, Thursday's attack highlights the dangers that officers face in the line of duty. How often are police killed? So far in 2016, 56 US law enforcement officers have died in the line of duty, 26 of whom were killed by gunfire, according to data from the Officer Down Memorial Page. However, experts say annual totals can be misleading. David Harris, a University of Pittsburgh law professor, says we cannot predict how many police killings will take place through the remainder of 2016, which makes it difficult to determine if police killings are on the rise. \"\" Trends are up and down year to year,\"\" he says. For example, 2015 marked a record low with 16 officers killed by gunfire during the first six months, which makes 2016 look particularly high in comparison, says Seth Stoughton, a former policeman and University of South Carolina law professor."

The narrator's nine-year-old daughter, knowing that her father writes war stories, asks him if he has ever killed anyone. The narrator says no but resolves to tell her the truth when she is grown. He then recalls how he killed a young man in Vietnam. He and another soldier were on patrol, taking turns sleeping and keeping watch. Out of the predawn fog, a young man approached carrying a gun. Instinctively, the narrator pulled the pin on a grenade and threw it, wanting to make the man disappear, not to kill him. Then he describes seeing the man's corpse with a hole where an eye should be. The narrator realizes that he could have let the man pass unharmed and that there was no real danger. Years later, the incident still haunts him."

The Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range, or AMDR, for carbohydrates is the percentage of your total calorie intake that should come from carbs each day. Carbohydrates should make up the largest percentage of your calories, compared with protein or fat, but the carb AMDR is quite variable. AMDR Range According to the Institute of Medicine, the carbohydrate AMDR is 45 to 65, meaning 45 to 65 percent of your daily calories should come from carbs. By comparison, the AMDR for adults is 10 to 35 percent for protein and 20 to 35 percent for dietary fat. Carbohydrates and protein each provide 4 calories per gram while fat contains 9 calories a gram. Recommendations for Athletes Getting 45 percent of your food intake from carbs may be too low for athletes and people who exercise regularly, because carbs are the body's main fuel source during physical activity.

Also wondering where I stand on the replacement front in my eyes it little to early for clutch to go and as such is not normal so not up to scratch should be covered by Kia and not by me.locka is offline Quotepost #2 of 32 ( permalink )Old 04-29-2012, 07:14 AMDr Bob Expert Join Date: Jul 2011Location: Australia Posts: 692Drives: Cerato Gallery: 0Mentioned: 0 Post (s)Tagged: 0 Thread (s)Quoted: 0 Post (s)Saying that the clutch is Gone doesn't give much of a clue as to the nature of the problem.

"text": "The Cost of Cataract Surgery August 20, 2013 by Ceatus Media Group Dr. Gary Foster – Fort Collins & Loveland, COWhat are the costs of Cataract Surgery? The cost of cataract surgery is an important topic because cataract surgery is the most commonly performed surgery in the world. A common question is, “Does Medicare cover cataract surgery?” Fortunately, it does. Many who have medical insurance make the mistake of believing this important procedure is not covered because they know they do not have “vision insurance. ”Most major medical plans do cover cataract surgery costs when the cataract is “medically necessary. ”Vision Insurance vs. Medical Insurance Vision insurance covers routine eye exams, glasses, and contact lenses. It does not generally cover medical eye problems. Regular medical insurance covers your regular medical care, including medical problems with your eyes like the cataract surgery costs. When is Cataract Surgery Medically Necessary?"

"text": "What Are Functions of Proteins, Carbohydrates, Fats, Water, Vitamins and Minerals?by ALYSSA CLEMENT Last Updated: Oct 03, 2017Nutrients are essential for your survival. Proteins, fats and carbohydrates are called macronutrients. Your body needs larger amounts of macronutrients for energy, growth and development. Fats provide 9 calories per gram while protein and carbohydrates each provide 4 calories per gram. Vitamins and minerals make up micronutrients because they’re needed in smaller amounts. Protein for Growth Protein builds new cells and fixes damaged ones in all parts of your body. During childhood, adolescence and pregnancy protein is especially important for growth. Protein is made up of amino acids. Along with growth and repair, they preserve muscle mass, hormone production, enzyme production, properly functioning immune system and to provide energy if carbohydrates aren’t available. Protein is found mostly in meat, eggs, fish, nuts, seeds and beans."

For that matter, what is a direct pulp cap? I was asked this in the comment section of a few other posts, so I though I ought to clarify. An indirect pulp cap, if done properly, and in the right cases, can help avoid the need for a root canal in severely decayed teeth. An Indirect pulp cap is where, in a permanent tooth, most of the decay is removed. As a dentist, you find that the decay is extensive and very close to the pulp (nerve) of the tooth. In fact, it may be likely that if you did remove all of the decay, the pulp would be exposed by the infected decay thus resulting in the need for a root canal. So, in order to avoid a root canal, the last little bit of decay is left in there and a sedative temporary filling is placed, usually IRM. After a few months, the temporary filling is removed and the remaining decay is removed and the tooth restored. How does that work?"

The heart of the system is the AN/SPY-1, an advanced, automatic detect and track, multi-function phased-array radar. This high-powered radar is able to perform search, track, and missile guidance functions simultaneously, with a track capacity of more than 100 targets. The first Engineering Development Model (EDM-1) was installed in the test ship USS Norton Sound (AVM 1) in 1973. Background The computer-based command and decision element is the core of the AEGIS combat system. This interface makes the AEGIS combat system capable of simultaneous operations against multi-mission threats: anti-air, anti-surface and anti-submarine warfare. The first AEGIS ship, USS Ticonderoga (CG 47), was commissioned in 1983 and deployed six months after commissioning. The Navy built the AEGIS cruisers using the hull and machinery designs of Spruance class destroyers. The commissioning of USS Bunker Hill (CG 52) opened a new era in surface warfare as the first AEGIS ship outfitted with the Vertical Launching System (VLS), allowing greater missile selection, firepower and survivability. The improved AN/SPY-1B radar went to sea in USS Princeton (CG 59), ushering in another advance in AEGIS capabilities."

With the onset of adulthood, good nutrition can help young adults enjoy an active lifestyle. For most people, this is the time when their bodies are in the best condition. The body of an adult does not need to devote its energy and resources to support the rapid growth and development that characterizes youth. However, the choices made during those formative years can have a lasting impact. Eating habits and preferences developed during childhood and adolescence influence health and fitness into adulthood. Some adults have gotten a healthy start and have established a sound diet and regular activity program, which helps them remain in good condition from young adulthood into the later years.

Using these recommendations, if you require 2,000 calories per day, you should consume 225 g to 325 g of carbohydrates daily. When choosing carbohydrates, it is best to choose whole-grains and fruits and vegetables, which are high in fiber.

"text": "\"Chapter 13 Nutrition through the Life Cycle: From Childhood to the Elderly Years Big Idea Good nutritional choices reduce the risk of chronic disease during the middle-aged years. The emergence of the obesity epidemic not only relates to what we eat and drink, but also how much we consume on a daily basis. © Thinkstock One hundred years ago, when many families sat down to dinner, they might have eaten boiled potatoes or corn, leafy vegetables such as cabbage or collards, fresh-baked bread, and, if they were fortunate, a small amount of beef or chicken. Young and old alike benefitted from a sound diet that packed a real nutritional punch. Times have changed. Many families today fill their dinner plates with fatty foods, such as french fries cooked in vegetable oil, a hamburger that contains several ounces of ground beef, and a white-bread bun, with a single piece of lettuce and a slice or two of tomato as the only vegetables served with the meal. Our diet has changed drastically as processed foods, which did not exist a century ago, and animal-based foods now account for a large percentage of our calories. Not only has what we eat changed, but the amount of it that we consume has greatly increased as well, as plates and portion size have grown much larger. All of these choices impact our health, with short- and long-term consequences as we age. Possible effects in the short-term include excess weight gain and constipation."

A sealed soda bottle has a small ullage of C02 at the top. Rocket tanks often contain a pressurized ullage of helium to help deliver the propellant to the engine under pressure. And helium is often chosen because it's light and non-reactive. In zero-G, there is no \"\"top\"\" for the ullage to rise to, so prior to an engine restart, small jets give the rocket a small boost forward which allows the liquid propellant to settle back to the bottom of the tank. John Broman Beginner satellite observer Professional rocket builder Posted By: wwh Re: ullage - 05/05/01 12:57 AMFrom transcript of a space mission: [Cernan - \"\"At ignition, the tanks were about three quarters full of fuel and one quarter pressurized helium. The trouble was that, in zero gravity, you didn't know where the fuel was in the tank. Therefore, you had to apply a little acceleration and drive the heavy (that is, denser) fuel downward towards the outlet, towards the engine, so that, when you started the main engine you don't get a fistful of helium. Because we were flying with the landing gear and the main engine forward, to get proper ullage we had to fire the RCS jets briefly against that forward motion. We had the computer programmed to fire the thrusters for a few seconds prior to ignition; but, if Jack hadn't confirmed ullage, I would have used the handcontroller to give us manual ullage . \"\""

"text": "An amicus brief is a document that is filed in a court by someone who is not directly related to the case under consideration. The most classic example is a document filed by an advocacy group, such as the American Civil Liberties Union. The additional information found in such a document can be useful for the judge evaluating the case, and it becomes part of the official case record. Many nations allow people or entities to file such documents with their courts. The tradition of accepting amicus briefs comes from a larger concept, the amicus curiae, or “friend of the court.” A friend of the court may be interested in a case for various reasons, although he or she is not directly involved. For example, a court might be preparing to try a case related to online file sharing, an issue of great concern to many people. A brief might be filed to discuss the larger ramifications of potential case outcomes, since these ramifications might not be brought up by the prosecution or defense during the course of a trial. Amici curiae can do a variety of things in addition to filing a brief. They can also contribute academic evaluation of various matters related to a case, they may testify, and in very rare cases, they could contribute to closing oral arguments."

Each term consists of alternating periods of approximately two weeks known as \"\"sittings\"\" and \"\"recesses.\"\" Justices hear cases and deliver rulings during sittings; they discuss cases and write opinions during recesses. The Court's authority to hear cases [ edit]Appellate jurisdiction [ edit]In nearly all of the cases heard by the Supreme Court, the Court exercises the appellate jurisdiction granted it by Article III of the Constitution. This authority permits the Court to review—and affirm or overturn—decisions made by lower courts and tribunals. Procedures for bringing cases before the Supreme Court have changed significantly over time. Today, cases are brought before the Supreme Court by one of several methods, of which the first two account for the overwhelming majority of cases decided: By petition for a writ of certiorari, filed by a party to a case that has been decided by one of the United States courts of appeals or by the United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces."

"text": "Consumers Can Sue Telemarketers in Federal Court over Robo Calls Posted January 25, 2012 in Consumer Law by Ada Kulesza If you have credit, you might have received these voice mails:“This is important information regarding your unsecured debt. ”Or maybe you’ve gotten a “special offer” for a cruise or a home security system. The caller sounds like the artificial voice of a robot — and it is. These calls are placed through a machine: an “auto dialer” or “robo caller. ”What you may not realize is that those robots and auto dialers are illegal, and you have legal recourse if they harass you repeatedly. The Supreme Court decided that consumers can litigate against telemarketing companies in the federal court system. Marcus Mims of Ft. Lauderlade, Fla., filed a lawsuit in federal district court against a company called Arrow Financial Services, complaining that the company had called him repeatedly, harassing him about student loan payments and leaving him prerecorded messages. Mims argued that Arrow “willfully or knowingly” violated the 1991 Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) by using an auto dialing system and prerecorded or artificial voice. After the lower courts threw out the case for lack of jurisdiction, Mims took his case to the Supreme Court."

"text": "Lyle Denniston Independent Contractor Reporter Posted Sat, February 28th, 2015 12:05 am Email Lyle Bio & Post Archive »Argument preview: The Confrontation Clause, once more At 11 a.m. Monday, the Supreme Court will hold one hour of oral argument to continue to explore the constitutional right of an accused person to confront at trial the witnesses for the prosecution. Arguing for the state in Ohio v. Clark will be Matthew E. Meyer of Cleveland, an assistant prosecuting attorney, with twenty minutes of time. Ilana Eisenstein, an assistant to the U. S. Solicitor General, will have ten minutes to speak for the federal government as an amicus supporting the state. The accused individual in the case will be represented by Stanford law professor Jeffrey L. Fisher, with thirty minutes of time. Background For the past eleven years, the Supreme Court has been defining — one case at a case — how far the Sixth Amendment goes to protect a right of the accused person on trial to confront witnesses who will give evidence to support a guilty verdict. The process generally has expanded that right, by limiting the use of evidence coming from those who, for some reason, could not show up at the trial, when prosecutors want to use some of what those witnesses had said out of court. Next week, the Court confronts the difficult question about what to do when the evidence at trial would be provided by school teachers and social workers who interviewed a three-and-a-half-year-old boy about alleged abuse, with the boy himself not appearing at the trial. Courts and lawyers on both sides of criminal trials have been reluctant, at least as a routine practice, to call children to the witness stand when they are crime victims or have seen a crime being committed. Aside from sensitivity for the child’s discomfort about being in the witness chair, there is frequently concern about whether the child is mature enough to give reliable testimony, uninfluenced by those who might try to shape what they say and unaffected by the pressure of the trial setting. Influence might well be a factor in a case where a child was allegedly abused by a parent, making the youngster reluctant to say what parents may have done to him."

"text": "Home Civil and Criminal Appeals Frequently Asked Questions Civil and Criminal Appeals Q: Where do I file the notice of appeal when taking an appeal as of right to the Court of Appeals? A: In general, the notice of appeal must be filed with the clerk of the court of original instance (CPLR 5515 [1]), not with the Court of Appeals. In Workers’ Compensation and Unemployment Insurance matters, the notice of appeal to the Court of Appeals is filed in the Appellate Division, Third Department. Q: If I am moving for leave to appeal in a civil or criminal case, do I have to file and serve a notice of appeal? A: No, unless you wish to simultaneously appeal as of right and seek leave to appeal in a civil case. If that is done, the Rule 500.9 preliminary appeal statement should mention the pendency of the motion for leave, and the motion for leave should mention the pendency of the appeal. Q: How do I determine when an appeal is “taken” to satisfy the requirement for filing a Rule 500.9 preliminary appeal statement within “10 days from the time the appeal is taken”? A: In civil cases, an appeal is taken “by serving on the adverse party a notice of appeal and filing it in the office where the judgment or order of the court of original instance is entered except that where an order granting permission to appeal is made, the appeal is taken when such order is entered” (CPLR 5515 [1]). Orders of the Court of Appeals granting leave to appeal in civil cases are entered on the date they are issued. In criminal cases, “the issuance of the certificate granting leave to appeal shall constitute the taking of the appeal” (CPL 460.10 [5] [b])."

An amicus curiae brief that does not serve this purpose burdens the Court, and its filing is not favored. An amicus curiae brief may be filed only by an attorney admitted to practice before this Court as provided in Rule 5.2. ( a) An amicus curiae brief submitted before the Court's consideration of a petition for a writ of certiorari, motion for leave to file a bill of complaint, jurisdictional statement, or petition for an extraordinary writ, may be filed if accompanied by the written consent of all parties, or if the Court grants leave to file under subparagraph 2 (b) of this Rule. An amicus curiae brief in support of a petitioner or appellant shall be filed within 30 days after the case is placed on the docket or a response is called for by the Court, whichever is later, and that time will not be extended. An amicus curiae brief in support of a motion of a plaintiff for leave to file a bill of complaint in an original action shall be filed within 60 days after the case is placed on the docket, and that time will not be extended. An amicus curiae brief in support of a respondent, an appellee, or a defendant shall be submitted within the time allowed for filing a brief in opposition or a motion to dismiss or affirm. An amicus curiae filing a brief under this subparagraph shall ensure that the counsel of record for all parties receive notice of its intention to file an amicus curiae brief at least 10 days prior to the due date for the amicus curiae brief, unless the amicus curiae brief is filed earlier than 10 days before the due date.

"text": "Money in Politics After the 1972 Convention approved “further study of Congress,” the 1973 Council—spurred by spending abuses in congressional and presidential campaigns—focused on campaign finance. Accelerated study and agreement in 1973 led to the Campaign Finance position, which applied League Principles supporting an open and representative government to political campaigns. The League initiated a petition drive and lobbied intensively for the campaign reforms embodied in the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1974 (FECA). When the law was challenged in court, the League, together with other organizations, intervened as defendants. In 1976, the Supreme Court upheld portions of the law providing for disclosure, public financing and contribution limits, but it overturned limits on candidates’ spending, if they used private financing, and limits on independent expenditures. The Court also ruled that the method of selection of the Federal Election Commission (FEC) was unconstitutional, because it allowed Congress to encroach on the President’s appointment power. After the Court’s decision, the League successfully lobbied for a new law creating an independent and constitutionally acceptable FEC. In response to budget attacks on the FEC in the 104th Congress, the League testified and lobbied in support of the FEC’s Fiscal Year 1997 budget request and against efforts to undermine the agency’s core enforcement and disclosure programs through funding cuts. The League’s position on Campaign Finance reflects continuing concern for open and honest elections and for maximum citizen participation in the political process. The League’s campaign finance reform strategy has two tracks: Achieve incremental reforms where possible in the short term, and Build support for public financing as the best long-term solution."

"text": "\"A (10)Collapse\"\"Amenable to Treatment\"\"Definition: A judge’s and prosecutors’ legal assessment of a young offender’s rehabilitation potential according to his/her age, maturity, offense history, and previous therapeutic interventions. Because juvenile court prioritizes rehabilitation over punishment, the assessment often determines whether the youth should be tried in juvenile court or adult criminal court. Adjudication of Delinquency Definition: A juvenile court judge’s determination as to whether or not a youth committed a delinquent offense. A juvenile adjudication is like an adult criminal conviction, but generally does not subject the youth to the same direct and collateral consequences. Adjudication of Dependency Definition: In Pennsylvania, the finding that a juvenile court would need to make to provide child welfare services and/or placement in addition to court supervision of the case. Youth may be adjudicated dependent when there are abuse and neglect issues or when there are difficulties at home that prevent parents from adequately caring for or supervising their children. In Pennsylvania, truancy and running away may be grounds for dependency adjudications. A dependency adjudication precludes a child’s placement in foster care or another substitute care setting. However, the court can allow a youth to return home even if there is an adjudication.

"text": "\"Photo: Police File Having served in the Marine Corps, I am familiar with the perils of scuttlebutt, an old Navy term for water cooler talk that now means rumors and gossip. In law enforcement, a lot of the recent scuttlebutt focuses on off-duty and retired officer carry laws, covering what you can and cannot do under the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act (LEOSA). Signed into law on July 22, 2004, by President George W. Bush and codified as 18 U. S. C. §§ 926B & C, LEOSA was intended to afford qualified active (QLEO) and qualified retired law enforcement officers (QRLEO) the privilege of carrying a concealed firearm in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and all other U. S. possessions (except the Canal Zone) notwithstanding any other provision of the law of any state or political subdivision thereof. LEOSA sounds pretty cut and dried. But unfortunately, it isn't. Vague language, confusing amendments, and a relative shortage of interpretive case law have allowed scuttlebutt and confusion to take over common sense application of its principles. And clarifying this law and what it means for law enforcement officers and retired law enforcement officers is a large part of my job as attorney for the National Rifle Association. Qualification Requirements Initially intended to apply only to people who are QLEO and QRLEO, LEOSA was amended in both 2010 and 2013, opening the door to individuals separated after an aggregate of 10 years or more service as an active, reserve, auxiliary, or volunteer law enforcement officer, as well as military and DOD police and law enforcement officers. In addition, LEOSA now applies for active law enforcement officers of the Amtrak Police Department, Federal Reserve, and executive branch of the Federal Government, even if they lack statutory powers of arrest. However, because of a failure to remain consistent with the language used in both parts of the statute, those without arrest authority are unable to qualify upon separation."

New regulations are about to be brought in to correct the situation, but what is current law on maternity benefits, and how will it change? The Department of Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform has just confirmed that these regulations will affect women whose expected week of childbirth (EWC) falls on or after 5 October 2008. This article was originally published on 17 March 2008 and is not updated. Xpert HR provides up-to-date guidance on family-friendly rights, including maternity and paternity leave. In this article, we clarify the existing law, how it is changing and what it will mean for your business. Although the practical consequences of the new regulations will not be seen until these women start their additional maternity leave early next year, employers will need to be able to discuss the new rules with them before their leave starts, which could be as early as July 2008, and review their policies. What happens to pay during maternity leave? During maternity leave (both ordinary and additional maternity leave), the employee’s contract of employment continues, but she is not entitled to her wages or salary. She will instead be entitled to statutory maternity pay (SMP) if she meets the qualifying conditions relating to the length of time since she joined the company and the level of national insurance she has paid."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Survival analysis is a branch of statistics for analyzing the expected duration of time until one or more events happen, such as death in biological organisms and failure in mechanical systems. This topic is called reliability theory or reliability analysis in engineering, duration analysis or duration modelling in economics, and event history analysis in sociology. Survival analysis attempts to answer questions such as: what is the proportion of a population which will survive past a certain time? Of those that survive, at what rate will they die or fail? Can multiple causes of death or failure be taken into account? How do particular circumstances or characteristics increase or decrease the probability of survival? To answer such questions, it is necessary to define \"\"lifetime\"\". In the case of biological survival, death is unambiguous, but for mechanical reliability, failure may not be well-defined, for there may well be mechanical systems in which failure is partial, a matter of degree, or not otherwise localized in time. Even in biological problems, some events (for example, heart attack or other organ failure) may have the same ambiguity. The theory outlined below assumes well-defined events at specific times; other cases may be better treated by models which explicitly account for ambiguous events."

"text": "\"Possible link between Agent Orange, leukemia April 19, 2001 Web posted at: 4:38 PM EDT (2038 GMT)WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Research released Thursday suggests a possible association between a child's chance of getting a type of leukemia and a parent's exposure to Agent Orange, a defoliant used during the Vietnam War that already has been linked to several health problems among veterans and their offspring. But a congressionally mandated report from the Institute of Medicine stopped short of establishing a direct cause and effect between Agent Orange and acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), instead calling the evidence \"\"limited or suggestive. \"\" Irva Hertz-Picciotto, professor of epidemiology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and chair of the committee that conducted the study, said researchers saw a 70 percent higher risk of AML for children whose parents served in Vietnam or Cambodia. MESSAGE BOARDThe U. S. military Researchers analyzed three studies comparing children with AML to healthy children. While a higher incidence of AML was found in children whose fathers served in either Vietnam or Cambodia, there was no difference in the incidence of AML between children of fathers who served there and said they were exposed to Agent Orange and those who served in those countries but said they had not been exposed. However, the researchers relied on self-reporting of Agent Orange exposure, and they said people don't always know if they had been exposed. Coupled with other studies in Americans that have shown parents who were exposed to pesticides or weedkillers have a higher percentage of children with AML, the researchers believe the results could reflect exposure to Agent Orange. \"\" We think the evidence is suggestive,\"\" said Hertz-Picciotto. But she said more study is needed to see if there is a direct link between the herbicide and the disease. Even with increased risk, the actual number of childhood leukemia cases is still relatively small -- fewer than 30 total additional cases among all children of Vietnam veterans."

The molecular basis of the response to chemotherapy is still being analyzed. The proteinase 3 ( PR3) gene codes for a serine protease with a broad spectrum of proteolytic activity. PR3 is involved in the control of proliferation of myeloid leukemia cells, and when it is abnormally expressed, it confers factor-independent growth to hematopoietic cells. In this study, we analyzed the expression levels of PR3 in 113 AML patients. PR3 is highly expressed in AML, mainly in CBF leukemias in which PR3 is not only expressed, but also abnormally localized within the nuclear compartment. Nuclear PR3 results in cleavage of nuclear factor (NF)-κB p65 into an inactive p56 subunit lacking any transcriptional activity. The nuclear localization of PR3 is responsible for increased proliferation, apoptosis arrest and increased sensitivity to high-dose ARA-C. This study provides a new molecular mechanism that is responsible for NF-κB inactivation and increased sensitivity to chemotherapy in CBF leukemias. Introduction The core-binding factors ( CBF s) are a group of heterodimeric transcriptional regulators containing a common beta ( CBFB) and one of three alpha components. 1 The CBF acute myeloid leukemias (AMLs) result from translocations involving either the alpha component RUNX1 (formerly known as CBFA2 or AML1) or CBFB."

Go to: Abstract There are a variety of fat-containing lesions that can arise in the intraperitoneal cavity and retroperitoneal space. Some of these fat-containing lesions, such as liposarcoma and retroperitoneal teratoma, have to be resected, although resection can be deferred for others, such as adrenal adenoma, myelolipoma, angiomyolipoma, ovarian teratoma, and lipoma, until the lesions become large or symptomatic. The third group tumors (i.e., mesenteric panniculitis and pseudolipoma of Glisson's capsule) require medical treatment or no treatment at all. Identifying factors such as whether the fat is macroscopic or microscopic within the lesion, the origin of the lesions, and the presence of combined calcification is important for narrowing the differential diagnosis. The development and wide-spread use of modern imaging modalities make identification of these factors easier so narrowing the differential diagnosis is possible. At the same time, lesions that do not require immediate treatment are being incidentally found at an increasing rate with these same imaging techniques."

High-dose cytarabine (2000 to 3000 mg per square meter of body-surface area) is toxic but results in higher rates of relapse-free survival than does the conventional dose of 100 to 400 mg per square meter. Intermediate dose levels have not been thoroughly evaluated. Methods We compared two induction regimens in patients 18 to 60 years of age (median, 49) who had newly diagnosed AML. The intermediate-dose group, totaling 431 patients, received cytarabine at a dose of 200 mg per square meter given by continuous intravenous infusion for 24 hours during cycle 1 of induction therapy and 1000 mg per square meter by infusion for 3 hours twice daily during cycle 2 of induction therapy. The high-dose group, totaling 429 patients, received a dose-escalated regimen of 1000 mg of cytarabine per square meter every 12 hours in cycle 1 and 2000 mg per square meter twice daily in cycle 2. Patients with a complete response did not receive additional cytarabine but received consolidation therapy in a third cycle of chemotherapy (mitoxantrone–etoposide) or underwent autologous or allogeneic stem-cell transplantation. Complete remission rates, survival rates, and toxic effects were assessed for each treatment group."

This is where new blood cells are made. Blood cells include Red blood cells, which carry oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and take carbon dioxide to the lungs to be exhaled Platelets, which help blood clot White blood cells, which help fight infections, viruses, and diseases. Although cancer can affect red blood cells and platelets, leukemia generally refers to cancer of the white blood cells. The disease usually affects one of the two major types of white blood cells: lymphocytes and granulocytes. These cells circulate throughout the body to help the immune system fight off viruses, infections, and other invading organisms. Leukemias arising from lymphocytes are called lymphocytic leukemias; those from granulocytes are called myeloid, or myelogenous, leukemias. Advertisement Fear of missing out?"

It is used to describe residual disease after suboptimal induction chemotherapy, but at the same time refers to the lowest levels of disease potentially compatible with cure or to molecularly defined relapse after long-term remission.

Cassinat et al 1 demonstrated in a patient with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) that the change from a bone marrow replaced by leukemic cells to a bone marrow in complete morphologic remission was achieved by a mere 1–1.5 log reduction in the PML/RARα copy number. In this patient, who experienced an early relapse, hybrid gene transcript levels during a short remission remained 3 logs above those measured in patients remaining in sustained clinical response.

"text": "\"Classification of acute myeloid leukemia Authors: Charles A Schiffer, MD Sandeep Gurbuxani, MBBS, Ph D Section Editor: Richard A Larson, MD Deputy Editor: Alan G Rosmarin, MDINTRODUCTIONAcute myeloid leukemia (AML) consists of a group of relatively well-defined hematopoietic neoplasms involving precursor cells committed to the myeloid line of cellular development (ie, those giving rise to granulocytic, monocytic, erythroid, or megakaryocytic elements) ( table 1 ). AML has also been called acute myelogenous leukemia and acute non-lymphocytic leukemia. AML is characterized by a clonal proliferation of myeloid precursors with a reduced capacity to differentiate into more mature cellular elements. As a result, there is an accumulation of leukemic blasts or immature forms in the bone marrow, peripheral blood, and occasionally in other tissues, with a variable reduction in the production of normal red blood cells, platelets, and mature granulocytes. The increased production of malignant cells, along with a reduction in these mature elements, results in a variety of systemic consequences including anemia, bleeding, and an increased risk of infection. ( See \"\"Clinical manifestations, pathologic features, and diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia\"\" and \"\"Pathogenesis of acute myeloid leukemia\"\" . ) Following diagnosis, AML is classified using the World Health Organization (WHO) classification system based upon a combination of morphology, immunophenotype, genetics, and clinical features [ 1-3 ]. The classification attempts to identify biologic entities in the hopes that future work will elucidate molecular pathways that might be amenable to targeted therapies. There are six main groups of AML recognized in this classification system [ 1,3-5 ]:● AML with recurrent genetic abnormalities To continue reading this article, you must log in with your personal, hospital, or group practice subscription.

Noto Specialist in Public Finance Government and Finance Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Abandoned Mine Reclamation Fee on Coal Summary The Abandoned Mine Reclamation Fund, also known as the Abandoned Mine Land (AML) Fund, is financed by fees levied per ton of domestically produced coal. The fee is 35 cents per ton for surface-mined coal, 15 cents per ton for underground- mined coal, and 10 cents per ton for lignite. The fund and the fees were established by the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA) to finance restoration of land abandoned or inadequately restored by mining companies before August 3, 1977. The fees were originally scheduled to expire in 1992, but Congress has extended them seven times. The FY2006 Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act (H. R. 2361; P. L. 109-54) enacted on August 2, 2005, extended the fees for nine months, until June 30, 2006. The Bush Administration’s FY2007 budget requested that the AML fees be extended through September 30, 2007, at their current levels. This interim extension was intended to provide time for the Administration to work with Congress to change the rules governing expenditures from the AML Fund. The FY2006 Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act (H. R. 4939, as amended; P. L. 109-234), enacted on June 15, 2006, extended the fees through FY2007, as the Administration had requested. In the 109 th Congress, there are proposals to extend the AML fees longer term as part of bills to reauthorize the abandoned mine reclamation program. H. R. 5970 (Thomas), passed by the House on July 29,2006, as well as S. 2616 (Santorum) and S. 3829 (Stabenow), would lower the fees by 20%, in two stages, and extend them through FY2021."

On this site: Warning Signs of Childhood Cancer: Leukemia L eukemia is a cancer of the bone marrow, the spongy center of the bones that makes blood cells. In leukemia, abnormal white blood cells divide out of control and crowd out the normal cells in the bloodstream. The abnormal white blood cells are not mature, and therefore cannot carry out their infection-fighting function in the blood. These cells crowd out healthy white blood cells, as well as the red blood cells which carry oxygen to the body and the platelets which cause the blood to clot. What are the different types of childhood leukemia? The most common type of leukemia in children is acute lymphocytic (or lymphoblastic) leukemia or ALL, which is further characterized as pre-B, B, or T-cell ALL."

"text": "\"Cancer Leukemia Diagnosis What Are the Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML) Subtypes? By Karen Raymaakers | Reviewed by Doru Paul, MDUpdated November 28, 2017Share Pin Email Print Hero Images/Getty Images Determining the type of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) someone has is much like staging other cancers, like lung or breast cancer. In solid tumor cancers like these, staging is important to determine the extent of the disease, and to help plan treatment. In the case of leukemia, however, doctors will instead look at tissue samples from bone marrow aspiration and biopsy to determine the acute myelogenous (or myeloblastic) leukemia subtype, and then determine next steps. What Determines a Type of AML? All blood cells, including red blood cells, platelets, and white blood cells, begin as a single stem cell in the bone marrow. Stem cells themselves do not have the ability to form clots, carry oxygen, or fight infection, but they develop or mature into fully functional blood cells that do. Stem cells grow into immature blood cells, which look and act a little more like the \"\"adult\"\" cell they will eventually become with each stage of development they go through. Once the blood cell is mature enough to carry out its role in the body, it is released from the bone marrow and into the bloodstream, where it will remain for the rest of its life. In the case of acute leukemia, there is an overproduction and release of very immature blood cells."

"text": "Amlodipine Dermatological Effectsby ERICA ROTH Aug. 14, 2017Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker medication that is used to treat high blood pressure and a type of chest pain called angina. The medication dilates the blood vessels and also lowers the heart rate to relieve the heart of some of the additional pressure it faces when distributing blood throughout the body. According to Pfizer, the manufacturer of Norvasc, a brand-name version of amlodpiine, the drug is safe for use in children over the age of six, as well as adults. Some people taking amlodipine may experience dermatological side effects, or adverse reactions involving the skin. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Jaundice Drugs.com, an online source of information about FDA-approved drugs, reports that some people may develop the serious side effect of jaundice while taking amlodipine to lower blood pressure. Jaundice is a yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes that can indicate liver disease or damage. Pfizer states that liver enzyme levels may become elevated when using Norvasc, which can lead to jaundice. Rash Skin rashes may be a dermatological effect of taking amlodipine, though this reaction occurs in a very small population of patients taking the drug. Pfizer states in Norvazc prescribing literature that a maculopapular rash--a rash involving both spots of discoloration and raised lesions, affects between 1 and 2 percent of the people using amlodipine. A rare, yet potentially serious allergic reaction called erythema multiforme may also affect the skin of people using this particular calcium channel blocker."

It is commonly used for treating high blood pressure ( hypertension) and treating heart disease, including angina and coronary artery disease in people who do not have heart failure. This medicine comes in tablet form and is taken by mouth, typically once a day. There are currently three different strengths of amlodipine: 2.5 mg, 5 mg, and 10 mg. Although it does not matter what time of day you take the drug, it is best to take it at the same time each day to maintain an even level in the blood. Amlodipine decreases blood pressure, reducing the risks that can occur with long-term hypertension. In clinical studies, the medication reduced systolic blood pressure by 12 points and diastolic blood pressure by 7 points (on average) in people with mild-to-moderate high blood pressure. When beginning treatment with amlodipine, a strength of 5 mg is typically prescribed. In people with exercise-induced angina (chronic stable angina ), the medication increased the amount of time they could exercise before chest pain occurred."

If we were to write its empirical formula, we'd write C20H25CIN2O5•C6H6O3S. But that might not help. You may wish to know why it is prescribed and what it's supposed to do. It's generally prescribed to lower blood pressure, and it is effective as an anti-hypertensive agent because it is what is called a calcium channel blocker. Let's back up and get you up to speed on Norvasc, its trade name. Muscles come in three \"\"flavors\"\" or types. There are the skeletal muscles, which allow us to move, and the cardiac muscles with make up the heart. The last kind are called the smooth muscles, and they are the muscles in the digestive tract, the blood vessels and other places, and they work \"\"automatically\"\" to do what they do."

"text": "Amlodipine Besylate Side Effects November 12, 2012This medication has multiple effects on the cardiovascular system and is a member of a group of medicines called calcium channel blockers. Calcium channels are receptors that are placed in a variety of areas within the cardiovascular system. When these channels become blocked it results in the blood vessels relaxing and lowering the heart rate. This results in the blood pressure being reduced and also the heart does not have to work as hard. This medication is successful in reducing the symptoms of raised blood pressure and pain in the chest but side effects may occur. Unwelcome amlodipine besylate side effects may include yellowing of the eyes and skin (jaundice), redness or warmth underneath the skin, joint and muscle pain, and an increase in the need to urinate. If you experience any of these side effects contact your doctor immediately. Although amlodipine besylate is specifically intended to improve the function of the cardiovascular system, side effects may occur. Reports from the Mayo Clinic state that amlodipine besylate side effects may cause irregular heartbeat and/or pounding heart and chest pain, but these side effects are rare. Bruising and bleeding as well as swelling in the extremities are other side effects that may be experienced when taking amlodipine besylate although these do not occur frequently."

Using the wrong type or too much of the right type can burn and kill your grass. Understanding the different ammonia types and how they affect your grass helps you determine which ammonia-based fertilizer best fits your lawn's needs.credit: m-gucci/i Stock/Getty Images Healthy green grass. Household Ammonia Homemade fertilizers and lawn tonic recipes that contain ammonium hydroxide, which is common household ammonia, can kill your grass. Chemical concentrations vary depending on the brand of household ammonia, which makes over application and chemical burns to the lawn more likely. Although grass and other plants can use the nitrogen available in some ammonium formulas, ammonium hydroxide is a caustic agent meant for cleaning so it's more likely to burn or kill lawn grass and other plants. When used in small enough quantities so as not to harm the lawn, such as 1/2 cup per 250 square feet, it doesn't supply enough usable nitrogen to provide any health benefits to the grass. Ammonium Nitrate Ammonium nitrate provides the source of nitrogen in many standard fertilizer blends, especially those meant for fall and winter application. It's best suited for established, healthy grass because the ammonia releases the nitrogen quickly, which can burn or kill tender new grass seedlings, or grass suffering from drought or other stresses."

Most fertilizers supply the macronutrients: nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. Nitrogen supports green growth, while phosphorous plays an important role in plant photosynthesis and energy transfer. Potassium helps with a variety of plant processes, including developing root strength. These three macronutrients are the three most important compounds in any fertilizer."

Meredith Introduction In the past decade urea has surpassed and nearly replaced ammonium nitrate as a fertilizer. This has brought about new questions on urea and its use. Fertilizer urea Urea, a white crystalline solid containing 46% nitrogen, is widely used in the agricultural industry as an animal feed additive and fertilizer Here we discuss it only as a nitrogen fertilizer. Physical forms of urea Commercially, fertilizer urea can be purchased as prills or as a granulated material. In the past, it was usually produced by dropping liquid urea from a \"\"prilling tower\"\" while drying the product. The prills formed a smaller and softer substance than other materials commonly used in fertilizer blends. Today, though, considerable urea is manufactured as granules. Granules are larger, harder, and more resistant to moisture. As a result, granulated urea has become a more suitable material for fertilizer blends. Advantages of fertilizer urea Urea can be applied to soil as a solid or solution or to certain crops as a foliar spray."

"text": "3 Reasons Your Dog’s Urine Kills Your Grass – And What to Do About It415November 11, 2013 • 739,481 views Edition: English Previous Next Story at-a-glance Most veterinarians at one time or another get questions from clients about why their dog’s urine burns the grass… and what they can do about it. There are three reasons a dog’s urine burns grass: an alkaline p H, concentrated (vs. dilute) urine, and nitrogen load. The most important factor of the three is urine p H. Dogs are carnivores, and as such, their urine p H should be on the acidic side – ideally from 6 to 6.5, but no more than 7. A urine p H over 7 will not only burn your grass, it can predispose your pet to struvite crystals and other urinary tract disorders. A dog’s urine p H can often be maintained in the healthy range by feeding a species-appropriate diet -- low-carb, grain-free, potato-free, and preferably fresh or at least canned food for the increased moisture content. If improving your dog’s urine p H doesn’t fully resolve the problem of your burned lawn, alternatives are to water down the spots where he urinates, or cover the area with about an inch of compost to help rebalance the soil p H. By Dr. Becker A question veterinarians get asked all the time by pet owners is, “Why does my dog’s urine seem to kill my grass?” And “Is there anything I can do about it?” Actually, there is. Your pet’s urine p H has a lot to do with whether your grass stays green. Since winter is on the way and in many parts of the U. S. people won’t be thinking about their lawns for a few months, I thought now would be a good time to offer some tips on how to naturally adjust your dog’s urine p H so he or she will be less likely to burn the grass next spring and summer."

"text": "\"Hay for Your Horse Submitted by Equi Med Staff on Mon, 09/03/2012 - 11:12am A number of factors come into play when choosing the right type of hay for your horse. As grazing animals, research has shown that horses do best when their feeding patterns follow a natural grazing pattern. The length of time the horse spends foraging for food and the amount of feed eaten at one time are important things to consider. Selecting the right hay The majority of horses consume harvested hay as the largest part of their diet. Selecting the best hay for your horse depends on the needs of the horse, where you live and more. New window. Compared to other nonruminant animals, the horse has a relatively small stomach, normal-sized small intestine and a large hind gut. This digestive arrangement makes the horse better suited to grazing continuously than to having one or two large meals a day. Hay and other roughages provide nutrients and satiety for your horse. On average, a horse must consume about two percent of its body weight per day to maintain body weight and digestive health."

Yet nitrogenous compounds are found in all fertile soils, in all living things, in many foodstuffs, in coal, and in such naturally occurring chemicals as sodium nitrate (saltpetre) and ammonia. Nitrogen is also found in the nucleus of every living cell as one of the chemical components of DNA. Nitrogen fixation is the process by which atmospheric nitrogen is converted either by a natural or an industrial means to a form of nitrogen such as ammonia. In nature, most nitrogen is harvested from the atmosphere by microorganisms (see above) to form ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates that can be used by plants. In industry, ammonia is synthesized from atmospheric nitrogen and hydrogen by the Haber-Bosch method, a process that Fritz Haber developed in about 1909 and which soon after was adapted for large-scale production by Carl Bosch. Commercially produced ammonia is used to make a wide variety of nitrogen compounds, including fertilizer and explosives. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. Nitrogen is fixed, or combined, in nature as nitric oxide by lightning and ultraviolet rays, but more significant amounts of nitrogen are fixed as ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates by soil microorganisms. More than 90 percent of all nitrogen fixation is effected by them."

People with mold allergies may have more severe reactions. Immune-compromised people and people with chronic lung illnesses, such as obstructive lung disease, may get serious infections in their lungs when they are exposed to mold. These people should stay away from areas that are likely to have mold, such as compost piles, cut grass, and wooded areas. In 2004 the Institute of Medicine (IOM) found there was sufficient evidence to link indoor exposure to mold with upper respiratory tract symptoms, cough, and wheeze in otherwise healthy people; with asthma symptoms in people with asthma; and with hypersensitivity pneumonitis in individuals susceptible to that immune-mediated condition."

Parish, Dr J. Daniel Rivera and Dr Holly T. Boland in this Mississippi State University Extension Service report. Ruminant livestock include cattle, sheep,and goats. Ruminants are hoofed mammals that have a unique digestive system that allows them to better use energy from fibrous plant material than other herbivores. Unlike monogastrics such as swine and poultry, ruminants have a digestive system designed to ferment feedstuffs and provide precursors for energy for the animalto use. By better understanding how the digestive system of the ruminant works, livestock producers can better understand how to care for and feed ruminant animals. Ruminant Digestive Anatomy and Function The ruminant digestive system uniquely qualifies ruminant animals such as cattle to efficiently use high roughage feedstuffs, including forages. Anatomy of the ruminant digestive system includes the mouth, tongue, salivary glands (producing saliva for buffering rumen p H), esophagus, fourcompartment stomach (rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum), pancreas, gall bladder, small intestine (duodenum, jejunum, and ileum), and large intestine (cecum, colon, and rectum). A ruminant uses its mouth (oral cavity) and tongue to harvest forages during grazing or to consume harvested feedstuffs. Cattle harvest forages during grazing by wrapping their tongues around the plants and then pulling to tear the forage for consumption. On average, cattle take from 25,000 to more than 40,000 prehensile bites to harvest forage while grazing each day."

With so many choices available in feeds, supplements, and hays, many people find themselves wondering exactly what their horse needs in regards to nutrition. The many opinions and myths related to feeding horses make the decision of what to feed even more difficult. Manufacturers of commercial horse feeds are required by law to put information concerning their feed on a “feed tag” which is either attached to or printed directly on the bag. This provides essential information on what the horse will be eating. However, most horse owners either don't understand or don't take the time to read this information. In this article, we will discuss the nutritional needs of your horse, common guidelines to observe when feeding your horse, and how to determine if your horse's requirements are being met. The Basic Nutrients When feeding horses, it is important to recognize that there are six basic nutrient categories that must be met: carbohydrate, protein, fat, vitamins, minerals, and water. Often times, feed companies will balance the first five nutrients for us. However, it is critical not to forget about water."

Typically, algae blooms are caused by an oxygen deficient water column, excessive nutrients loads i.e. nitrogen and phosphorous runoff from lawns, agricultural land, septic systems etc., biodegradable materials i.e. dead leaves and plant material, fecal matter from fish, frogs, birds and other aquatic life and sunlight. Ponds with low oxygen levels and high bottom sludge accumulations tend to become anaerobic. Under this condition, oxygen levels can be further depleted due to the amount of oxygen required to degrade bottom sludge and, as a result, ponds become stagnant and odorous and algae blooms worsen. Controlling algae by reducing sunlight, limiting nutrient leaching into the water column and manually removing sludge buildup can be labor intensive. In the alternative,EC-504 Pond cleaner can be used to effectively degrade bottom sludge and reduce the nutrients required for algae growth. EC-504 natural pond cleaner is formulated for use in controlling pond scum, algae and odor that commonly plague lakes and ponds. It works in the entire water column, as well as bottom sludge layers to degrade organic waste and other nutrients that promote algae growth.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Ammonium sulfate precipitation is one of the most commonly used methods for large and laboratory scale protein purification and fractionation that can be used to separate proteins by altering their solubility in the presence of a high salt concentration. Ammonium sulfate is an inorganic salt with a high solubility that disassociates into ammonium (NH 4 +) and sulfate (SO 4 2−) in aqueous solutions. [ 1] Ammonium sulfate is especially useful as a precipitant because it is highly soluble, stabilizes protein structure, has a relatively low density, is readily available, and is relatively inexpensive. The solubility of proteins varies according to the ionic strength of the solution, thus according to the salt concentration. At low ion concentrations (<0.5 M), the solubility of proteins increases with increasing salt concentration, an effect termed \"\" salting in \"\". As the salt concentration is further increased, the solubility of the protein begins to decrease. At a sufficiently high ionic strength, the protein will precipitate out of the solution, an effect termed \"\" salting out \"\". [ 2] When the ammonium (NH 4 +) and sulfate (SO 4 2−) ions are within the aqueous solution they are attracted to the opposite charges evident on the compound that is being purified. This attraction of opposite charges prevents the water molecules from interacting with the compound being purified, leading to the precipitation or \"\"salting out\"\". [ 3]Proteins differ markedly in their solubilities at high ionic strength, therefore, \"\"salting out\"\" is a very useful procedure to assist in the purification of the desired protein."

"text": "\"Ammonium Sulfate Calculator: Ammonium Sulfate Precipitation is a simple and effective means of fractionating proteins. It is based on the fact that at high salt concentrations the natural tendency of proteins not to aggregate is overcome, since the surface charges are neutralized. Charge neutralization means that proteins will tend to bind together, form large complexes and hence are easy to precipitate out by mild centrifugation. Since each protein will start to aggregate at a characteristic salt concentration, this approach provides a simple way of enriching for particular proteins in a mixture, and is used, for example, to isolate immunoglobulins from sera. It is quite easy to bring a preparation to 50% saturated by simply adding an equal volume of saturated Ammonium Sulfate. It is more of a problem to make solutions of higher percentage saturation as you may have to add very large volumes of saturated Ammonium Sulfate. It is usually easier to add solid Ammonium Sulfate to your sample, but calculating how much to add is rather time consuming. The program below calculates how much solid Ammonium Sulfate you need to add to a specific volume of a solution to get a specific percentage saturation at a specific temperature;Select temperature at which you are working (25 o C is default): 0 o C 4 o C 10 o C 20 o C 25 o CEnter starting volume of solution in mls: Desired percentage saturation Ammonium Sulfate: Enter starting percentage saturation of Ammonium Sulfate: An Ammonium Sulfate Precipitation Protocol: You can either mix your protein preparation with 100% Ammonium Sulfate solution, or you can add solid Ammonium Sulfate to make the desired percentage concentration using the program above.

If you notice that one of those ingredients is sodium lauryl sulfate ( SLS) or sodium laureth sulfate ( SLES ), then that’s where your sulfates are coming from. These chemicals are quite commonly found in not only shampoos, but in a host of other cleaning/hygiene products, as well such as toothpastes and soaps ). Why a company would choose to include a chemical that contains sulfates is not a difficult concept to understand."

We have distinguished at least two components of this ATP-dependent reaction: pre-MPF, a precursor to MPF that activates independently of added MPF and whose apparent molecular weight changes from 400 kd to 260 kd upon activation; and INH, an inhibitor of pre-MPF activation that confers MPF dependence on the reaction. We present evidence suggesting that INH is a phosphatase and that the activation of pre-MPF occurs via phosphorylation. INH activity itself seems to be regulated by another phosphatase, protein phosphatase-1. We have directly examined the pattern of protein phosphorylation during the activation reaction and have found 92 and 140 kd proteins whose phosphorylation increases when MPF activity appears. This system makes possible a direct examination of the regulation of MPF activity during the cell cycle.

"text": "Chapter 5: Enzymes - Introduction Cells function largely because of the action of enzymes. Life is a dynamic process that involves constant changes in chemical composition. These changes are regulated by catalytic reactions, which are regulated by enzymes. At one time, the cell was actually concieved of as a sac of enzymes. It was believed that if we knew all of the reactions and their rates of action, we could define the cell, and indeed, life itself. Few biologists continue to think of this as a simple task, but we know that life as we know it could not exist without the function of enzymes. Ideally, we would examine enzymes within an intact cell, but this is difficult to control. Consequently, enzymes are studied in vitro after extraction from cells. In this exercise, we will extract the enzyme tyrosinase and study its kinetic parameters. It is only one of thousands of enzymes working in concert within cells, but it is one but which readily demonstrates the main features of enzyme kinetics."

For larger volumes I prefer to dialyse my sample using Pierce's Snake Skin tubing followed by lyophilisation (freeze-drying). That way you can resuspend your protein powder in the desired buffer and buffer volume. Moreover, I often observe an additional purification effect through freeze-drying as many contaminating proteins won't resuspend again.7 Recommendations5 years ago Peter J Butterworth King's College London Ivelina is right. You should be able to concentrate your enzyme by dialysis aginst a high concentration of PEG.

Introduction The solubility of protein depends on, among other things, the salt concentration in the solution. At low concentrations, the presence of salt stabilizes the various charged groups on a protein molecule, thus attracting protein into the solution and enhancing the solubility of protein. This is commonly known assalting-in. However, as the salt concentration is increased, a point of maximum protein solubility is usually reached. Further increase in the salt concentration implies that there is less and less water available to solubilize protein. Finally, protein starts to precipitate when there are not sufficient water molecules to interact with protein molecules. This phenomenon of protein precipitation in the presence of excess salt is known assalting-out. Many types of salts have been employed to effect protein separation and purification through salting-out."

The Ca CO 3 was selected as the most suitable adsorbent preserving the catalytic activity almost intact and offering maximum adsorption capacity. Immobilization enhanced the thermo-stability of lipase. Enzymatic esterification between oleic acid and butanol at 37 °C with shaking (200 rpm) was realized in two systems: n -hexane and solvent-free system. The product of this reaction, 1-butyl oleate, is useful as a diesel additive, a polyvinyl chloride plastisizer, a water-resisting agent and in hydraulic fluids. The influence of reaction conditions such as the amount of lipase used, the presence of water and the substrate concentrations on 1-butyl oleate synthesis were investigated. The optimal conditions for the esterification reaction in a solvent-free system were 60 IU of immobilized lipase and a molar ratio of oleic acid to butanol of 1:1. The reaction could be performed in presence of hexane and the highest conversion percentage (73%) was obtained with 60 IU of immobilized lipase and substrate concentrations of 0.1 M each. Immobilized lipase could be repeatedly used for six cycles without a decrease of synthesis activity. The immobilized R. oryzae lipase exhibited long-chain fatty acids specificity similar to that shown for the free lipase."

The application of an amylase in industrial reactions depends on its unique characteristics, such as its action pattern, substrate specificity, major reaction products, optimal temperature, and optimal p H12. Bacterial α‐amylase preferred for application in starch processing and textile industries due to its action at higher temperature (75‐ 1050C) and neutral to alkaline p H13. Generally, production of this enzyme has been carried out by submerged fermentation. Among the bacterial sources Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus staerothermophilus, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus acidocaldarius, Bifidobacterium bifidum and Bifidobacterium acerans are important species. The present review was focused on bacterial amylase and this review assesses the following chapters: Amylase, Microorganisms and amylases, Physiology of amylases, Fermentation studies on bacterial amylase production and Commercial application of amylases. Key words: Enzyme, Amylase, Bacteria, Physiology, Fermentation and Applications. 1.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Amoeboid movement is the most common mode of locomotion in eukaryotic cells. [ 1] It is a crawling-like type of movement accomplished by protrusion of cytoplasm of the cell involving the formation of pseudopodia (\"\"false feet\"\") and posterior uropods. One or more pseudopodia may be produced at a time depending on the organism, but all amoeboid movement is characterized by the movement of organisms with an amorphous form that possess no set motility structures. Movement occurs when the cytoplasm slides and forms a pseudopodium in front to pull the cell forward. This type of movement has been linked to changes in action potential, though the exact mechanism is still unknown. Some examples of organisms that exhibit this type of locomotion are the amoeboids, slime molds and some protozoans such as Naegleria gruberi, [2] as well as some cells in humans such as leukocytes. Sarcomas, or cancers arising from connective tissue cells, are particularly adept at amoeboid movement, thus leading to their high rate of metastasis.

Find out some essential amoeba info in this FAQ about these tiny single-celled organisms. What is an Amoeba? Amoebas are single-celled eukaryotic organisms of no distinct shape, and are consequently referred to as shape-shifters. They are transparent and each cell appears to be nothing more than a ball of cytoplasm held together by a cell wall. However, venture inside and you’ll find an organism of considerable complexity. The most obvious and apparent organelle is the nucleus. Some amoeboid species possess a single nuclei and others many more. For example Amoeba pelomyxa has hundreds of nuclei. Other organelles include food vacuoles that store and digest food, and contractile vacuoles that are involved in osmoregulation and pump excess water out of the cell."

"text": "\"INTRODUCTION TO THEPROTISTSGiorgio Carboni, March 2000 Translation edited by Giselle Walker WHAT ARE PROTISTS? Protists are microscopical, unicellular eukaryotes. They generally live in water. In some cases, protists form colonies of individuals, though the individuals are generally autonomous. Historically, researchers referred these minuscule living beings to the kingdoms of larger organisms. Then, according to the characteristics that a given protist showed, they tried to refer it to the plant kingdom (in the protophyta or algae), the animal kingdom (in the protozoa) or to the fungal kingdom. This led to a great deal of doubtful classification, for example \"\"algae\"\" deprived of chloroplasts and which fed on other microorganisms, \"\"moulds\"\" endowed with amoeboid movements like animals, or \"\"protozoans\"\" anchored to the substratum by a foot like they were a plant. Intuitively, it is possible to understand why protists often possess characteristics common to animals, plants and fungi: the larger organisms derive from protists. In order to avoid confusion in the classification of these microorganisms, a kingdom has been created for them, so that they need not be referred to the animals, plants or fungi. Of course, grouping things in kingdoms is arbitrary- in the history of life there has been no clear-cut division between protists and other eukaryotes."

Such a shape of RBCs as they mature, is of great advantage to these cells as it increases their surface area. Due to lack of organelles (such as mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum), their oxygen demand is negligible. The RBCs are very small in size. This small size helps in absorbing oxygen and enables them to travel in very fine blood capillaries throughout the body of a person. RBCs are produced in the bone marrow of long bones, such as ribs, vertebrae and skull bones."

"text": "Intangibles amortization February 18, 2018The amortization of intangibles involves the consistent reduction in the recorded value of an intangible asset over time. Amortization refers to the write-off of an asset over its expected period of use ( useful life ). Intangible assets do not have physical substance. Examples of intangible assets are: Copyrights Customer lists Government licenses Noncompetition agreement related to an acquisition Patents Taxi licenses Trademarks Intangible assets are usually purchased from other entities, or are recorded as a result of the acquisition of another entity, and so are much less frequently recorded in the accounting records than tangible fixed assets. However, intangible assets recorded as part of acquisitions are frequently of considerable size, so the amortization method and useful life associated with them can have a profound (and negative) impact on the reported profits of the acquiring entity. It is non uncommon for an acquiring entity to experience years of losses as it gradually writes off the intangible assets associated with an acquisition. Once amortization begins, it is rarely changed unless there is evidence that the value of the intangible asset being amortized has become impaired. If so, there is an immediate write-down in the remaining value of the intangible asset in the amount of the impairment. At that point, you must evaluate whether the useful life of the asset has also changed, and modify the amortization calculation to incorporate not only the new useful life, but also the remaining (reduced) carrying amount of the asset. These changes should be well-documented, since they will be examined by the company's auditors as part of the annual audit."

Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 3:30Although they have no physical characteristics, intangible assets have value because of the advantages or exclusive privileges and rights they provide to a business. Intangible assets generally arise from two sources: (1) exclusive privileges granted by governmental authority or by legal contract, such as patents, copyrights, franchises, trademarks and trade names, and leases; and (2) superior entrepreneurial capacity or management know-how and customer loyalty, which is called goodwill. All intangible assets are nonphysical, but not all nonphysical assets are intangibles. For example, accounts receivable and prepaid expenses are nonphysical, yet classified as current assets rather than intangible assets. Intangible assets are generally both nonphysical and noncurrent; they appear in a separate long-term section of the balance sheet entitled “Intangible assets”. Initially, firms record intangible assets at cost like most other assets. However, computing an intangible asset’s acquisition cost differs from computing a plant asset’s acquisition cost. Firms may include only outright purchase costs in the acquisition cost of an intangible asset; the acquisition cost does not include cost of internal development or self-creation of the asset. If an intangible asset is internally generated in its entirety, none of its costs are capitalized."

"text": "The difference between amortization and depreciation November 24, 2017The key difference between amortization and depreciation is that amortization charges off the cost of an intangible asset, while depreciation does so for a tangible asset. Another difference between the two concepts is that amortization is almost always conducted on a straight-line basis, so that the same amount of amortization is charged to expense in every reporting period. Conversely, it is more common for depreciation expense to be recognized on an accelerated basis, so that more depreciation is recognized during earlier reporting periods than later reporting periods. Yet another difference between amortization and depreciation is that the calculation of amortization does not usually incorporate any salvage value, since an intangible asset is not typically considered to have any resale value once its useful life has expired. Conversely, a tangible asset may have some salvage value, so this amount is more likely to be included in a depreciation calculation. The two concepts also share several similar traits. For example: Non-cash. Both depreciation and amortization are non-cash expenses - that is, the company does not suffer a cash reduction when these expenses are recorded. Reporting. Both depreciation and amortization are treated as reductions from fixed assets in the balance sheet, and may even be aggregated together for reporting purposes."

Mortgage Calculator Auto Loan Calculator Investment Calculator Business Loan Calculator Personal Loan Calculator FHA Loan Calculator VA Mortgage Calculator Annuity Calculator What is Amortization? Webster's dictionary defines amortization as \"\"the systematic repayment of a debt.\"\" There are two general uses to amortization: paying off a loan over time, or spreading the cost of an expensive and long-life item over many periods. Paying Off a Loan Over Time When a borrower takes out a mortgage, car loan, or personal loan, they usually make monthly payments to the lender; these are some of the most common uses of amortization. A part of the payment covers the interest due on the loan, and the remainder of the payment goes toward reducing the principal amount owed. Interest is computed on the current amount owed and thus will become progressively smaller as the principal is decreased. During the earlier stages of an amortization process, larger portions of the payments made are for interest. As time goes on, the principal portion will gradually increase until the principal becomes zero."

Sometimes I find unclaimed deductions like unclaimed Goodwill amortization. ( 910) 399-2705. I offer an initial free consult. As a CPA tax account I hear goodwill related issues regularly. Especially with our ROBS (rollover business startup) clients. Goodwill originates from purchasing a business for more than the hard value of the assets. It’s a value based on expected continued customer patronage, due to its name, reputation, or any other cause. So there’s no physical asset associated with goodwill. Goodwill is an intangible asset, something you can’t see or touch."

COM along with started blogging in wordpress Answered May 23, 2016ACCOUNTING point of view Assuming the concept of Depreciation is clear to you, in common accounting parlances amortisation is reduction in value of intangible asset, where as depreciation is reduction in value of Tangible one. Intangible asset are defined in ACCOUNTING STANDARD -26, and INDIAN ACCOUNTING STANDARD (IND AS) - 38. Now the first question pop up is why it is called amortisation when it is same as depreciation ? The reason being simple, that we have to be specific, taking an example that, an tangible asset can gain its value abruptly due to change in market sentiments, is called appreciation but the same cannot be in case of amortisation, there is no reverse amortisation nor unamortisation concept. Amortization is almost always conducted on a straight-line basis, so that the same amount of amortization is charged to expense in every reporting period. Conversely, it is more common for depreciation expense to be recognized on an accelerated basis, so that more depreciation is recognized during earlier reporting periods than later reporting periods. Further the calculation of amortization does not usually incorporate any salvage value, since an intangible asset is not typically considered to have any resale value once its useful life has expired. Conversely, a tangible asset may have some salvage value, so this amount is more likely to be included in a depreciation calculation. FINANCE cum GENERAL DICTIONARY point of view As per Dictionary.com -an act or instance of amortizing a debt or other obligation. Amortisation can be termed as Payment of fees, or obligating instalments arising out of loans taken, or may be disbursement of expenditure already incurred, in any for of due.372 Views"

"text": "\"Wednesday Apr 11, 2018What Are Section 197 Intangibles? Section 197 intangibles are certain intangible assets acquired after August 10, 1993 (or after July 25, 1991, if chosen) in connection with the acquisition of a business which must be amortized over 15 years from the date of acquisition regardless of the assets useful life. You start amortization the month the intangible is acquired. Use Form 4563 to report annual amortization. The annual amortization amount is generally determined by dividing the cost by 15. An amortizeable section 197 intangible is treated as depreciable property; it is not a capital asset. If held for more than one year, it will generally qualify as a section 1231 asset and be subject to the rules of section 1231. Intangible assets have no physical form; they cannot be touched. For example, goodwill, franchises, and trade names are intangible assets Recapture Rules that Apply to Dispositions of Section 197 Intangibles after August 8, 2005If you dispose of more than one amortizable section 197 intangible in a single transaction (or a series of related transactions), all of these intangibles are treated as one section 1245 property, which means, the depreciation recapture rules of Section 1245 apply. Section 1245 property is property that is depreciable or amortizable."

An intangible asset is property, which possesses the following characteristics: Lack physical substance, such as computer software Nonfinancial in nature which has no monetary form Initial useful life extends beyond one reporting period. Examples of intangible assets include easements, water rights, timber rights patents, trademarks and computer software. Intangible assets may be purchased, licensed or internally generated. Intangible assets should be measured/valued in the same manner as other capital assets: historical cost, or if donated, estimated fair value at date of donation.7.10.1 Depreciation Amortization Methodology (Last Modified on May 1, 2017)Amortization is the accounting process of allocating the intangible asset’s capitalized costs to expense in a systematic and rational manner to those periods expected to benefit from the use of the asset. Amortization is not a matter of valuation, but a means of cost allocation. Intangible assets are not amortized based on a decline in their fair market value, but based on systematic charges to expense. An intangible asset that has an indefinite useful life is not amortized if there are no legal, contractual, regulatory, technological, or other factors that limit its useful life. A permanent right of way easement would be an example of an intangible asset that is considered to have an indefinite useful life."

"text": "Amortization of Certain Intangible Assets Companies should question the treatment of assets with contractual or legal lives. BY JENNIFER M. MUELLERNovember 30, 2004Related TOPICSAccounting and Financial Reporting EXECUTIVE SUMMARYEVEN WITH THE GUIDANCE IN FASB STATEMENT NO. 142, th e useful life of certain intangible assets is difficult to judge, particularly assets that involve contracted or other legally set terms. Companies use the useful life of assets to guide their decisions on whether or not to amortize them on their financial statements. FOR INTANGIBLE ASSETS THAT ARE THE RESULT of contractual or legal rights, including patents, licenses, trademarks, franchise and servicing rights, CPAs should ask whether the company intends and is able to renew or extend the contract; whether there are substantial costs associated with renewal; and whether there will be any material modifications to existing contract terms. This will help determine whether the benefits of the asset for amortization purposes will continue beyond the contract period. IF A CONTRACT IS SILENT ON RENEWAL POSSIBILITIES, CPAs should consider the company’s history on this or similar contracts. If this type of contract is new to the company, information from other companies in the same industry that have successfully renewed similar agreements may be a useful benchmark. ONCE IT APPEARS A CONTRACT IS RENEWABLE OR extendable without substantial cost or modification, CPAs can defend assigning it a useful life that is longer than the contract term. If the benefits of the asset will continue indefinitely, it has an indefinite useful life and the company should not amortize it."

Intangible assets can be purchased, licensed, acquired through nonexchange transactions, or internally generated. This policy is effective after June 30, 2010 and is retroactive to July 1, 1980. An intangible asset is an asset that possesses all of the following characteristics: Lack of physical substance: An intangible asset may be contained in or on an item with physical substance, such as with computer software and a compact disc. Also, an intangible asset may be closely related with another item that has physical substance, such as an easement and the underlying land. Nonfinancial nature: An asset is not in a monetary form if similar to cash and investment securities, and it represents neither a claim nor right to assets in a monetary form similar to receivables. Intangible assets acquired or created primarily for the purpose of directly obtaining income or profit are excluded from this policy. Initial useful life extending beyond a single reporting period Intangible assets should be classified as capital assets and existing authoritative guidance related to capital assets should be applied to intangible assets. This includes recognition, measurement, depreciation/amortization, impairment, presentation, and disclosures. An intangible asset should be recognized in the statement of net assets only if it is identifiable."

Exceptions include costs associated with computer software intended to be sold, Web site development, and computer software for internal use. Internally developed intangible assets are recognized only if (1) it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the entity, (2) the cost of the asset can be measured reliably, and (3) certain other criteria are met. Intangible asset revaluations Intangible assets are measured at historical cost (less accumulated amortization and impairments); no revaluation of intangible assets is permitted (other than for impairments). Intangible assets may be accounted for at historical cost (less accumulated amortization and impairments) or pursuant to a revaluation model (permitted in limited situations). Advertising costs Advertising costs are either expensed as incurred or expensed the first time the advertising takes place. Exceptions include (1) direct-response advertising and (2) expenditures for advertising costs that are incurred after revenues related to those costs (e.g., cooperative advertising) are recognized. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred unless the expenditure relates to payment made before the entity obtains a right to access goods or receives services."

This speech expresses the author's views and does not necessarily reflect those of the Commission, the Commissioners, or other members of the staff. Introduction I would like to share with you some views on a number of technical issues including those on: (1) contingent consideration arrangements that may be compensatory, (2) issues related to customer related intangible assets, and more broadly, (3) amortization methods for finite-lived intangible assets. Contingent consideration arrangements that may be compensatory When an entity acquires a business, the purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. However, the fact that a business is acquired doesn't obviate the need to evaluate whether portions of the arrangement need to be accounted for separately. I'll discuss an example that highlights this issue: contingent consideration that may be compensatory. Determining whether contingent consideration in a business combination is additional purchase price or a period expense is judgmental. Generally, from a conceptual standpoint, contingency arrangements should be treated as additional purchase price when they serve to resolve differences in view between the buyer and the seller about the value of the business. However, when a selling shareholder becomes a continuing employee of the post-combination enterprise, it is often difficult to determine whether the contingency is truly a resolution of a business value disagreement, or simply compensation for post-acquisition services. EITF Issue 95-8 1 is helpful in this assessment as it provides guidance on factors to consider."

"text": "\"Where Are Patents Classified on the Balance Sheet?by Chirantan Basu; Updated September 26, 2017A patent is a property right that gives the patent holder exclusive rights to use an invention, design, process or other intellectual property. The United States Patent and Trademark Office reviews patent applications and grants patents, which give individuals or companies effective monopoly rights for a limited number of years. Patents go in the intangible assets subsection of the classified balance sheet. Intangibles Intangible assets are part of the long-term assets section on the balance sheet. Intangibles include patents, copyrights, trademarks, franchise licenses, goodwill and other nonphysical items that do not have a readily available market value. However, companies use intangible assets to generate long-term economic benefits. For example, a semiconductor company may license its patents to manufacturers, thus generating a steady cash flow stream for the life of the patents. Intangible assets are long-term assets because companies use them for long periods and they are not easily convertible to cash. Amortization The accounting process for patents is similar to other fixed assets. Companies allocate or amortize the costs over the life of the patent."

"text": "What does amortization mean? In accounting we use the word amortization to mean the systematic allocation of a balance sheet item to expense (or revenue) on the income statement. Conceptually, amortization is similar to depreciation and depletion. An example of amortization is the systematic allocation of the balance in the contra-liability account Discount of Bonds Payable to Interest Expense over the life of the bonds. ( The accountant credits Discount on Bonds Payable and debits Bond Interest Expense with a portion of the balance each accounting period .) In the case of a premium on bonds payable, the accountant systematically moves a portion of the balance in Premium on Bonds Payable by debiting the account and crediting Interest Expense. Amortization also applies to asset balances, such as discount on notes receivable, deferred charges, and some intangible assets. Amortization is a term used with mortgage loans. For example, a mortgage lender often provides the borrower with a loan amortization schedule. This schedule lists each loan payment during the life of the loan, the amount of each payment that is for interest, the amount of each payment that is for principal, and the principal balance after each loan payment."

"text": "The entire business borrowing experience can be broken down into three basic phases: Researching and choosing from small business loans Applying for the loan and getting approved…and paying it off. When you need cash on hand quickly to start or grow your small business, you’re likely most focused on those first two phases. You’ve asked yourself…Which loan is right for my business? How do I qualify for a business loan? What will I need for my business loan application? Will I be approved by the lender? How long will it take to get cash in hand? With a sense of urgency to get your newest business plans up and running, it’s easy to forget about that last phase of the loan experience… actually paying it off. In reality, though, you’ll likely be spending ten times—even a hundred times—longer paying off your business loan than you’ve spent researching your options and applying. If you’re not prepared for the reality of making those regular loan payments, they can cause unending stress and even scar your financial future."

How these assets affect financial disclosures, including income statements, depends largely on the price the business pays to acquire these items. Successfully cultivating intangible assets, including copyrights and patents, can earn a company high rates of revenue that can far exceed the original purchase prices. Amortization of Intangible Assets A business uses amortization to write off the cost of intangible assets as operational costs for tax purposes. Intangible assets can be items of value without physical form, including copyrights and patents purchased from other companies. Amortization is similar to depreciation, in that a business deducts the cost of these assets over the useful life of these items. For example, if purchased product patents remain valid for 17 years, a business deducts the cost of purchasing those patents over that 17-year period. Depreciation applies to deducting costs related to a company's tangible capital assets. Amortization and Financial Statements Amortization allows a business to deduct the cost of purchasing intangible assets in even increments over the useful life of the assets. For federal tax purposes, \"\"even increments\"\" refers to the straight-line deduction method that is also used for depreciating tangible assets."

The amortization of the mortgage refers to the entire length of time that it will take for the mortgage to be paid and the house to be thusly, “free and clear”. The term is the period for which your current payment obligations are valid. In other words, you may choose a five-year term and a 25-year amortization. This would mean that your interest rate, your payments, and your pre-payment options would be the same for the next five years. At the end of these five years you would re-negotiate the term, and the amortization would now be 20 years.

"text": "\"Loading the player... A few years ago, in rather significant fashion, the U. S. Bureau of Economic Analysis announced a change to the way it estimates gross domestic product (GDP). Going forward, it was going to include a non-physical or intangible asset, research and development (R&D,) in its calculations of investments in the economy. The change boosted economic growth several basis points over the last 50 years and made the economy nearly $560 billion larger than previously estimated. Now that it is considered a long-lived asset in the economy accountants will have to measure whether to adjust or amortize the amount over time. Amortization is an important concept not just to economists, but to any company figuring out its balance sheet. We explain it in more detail below. Amortization Defined Amortization refers to capitalizing the value of an intangible asset over time. It's similar to depreciation, but that term is meant to refer more to a tangible asset (a piece of equipment or office furniture that a company might purchase). Amortization occurs when the value of an asset (usually an intangible asset, like R&D or a trademark) is reduced over a specific time period, which is usually the asset's estimated useful life. A good way to think of this is to consider amortization to be the cost as the asset is consumed or used up while generating sales or profits for a company."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Business & Finance Personal Finance Money Management Loans Mortgages How does a balloon mortgage work? Flag How does a balloon mortgage work? Answer by Savemoney101 Confidence votes 1.4KA balloon mortgage is a short-term, fixed rate home loan with fixed monthly payments for a set number of years (usually 5-10) followed by a final payment of the principal. Payments are usually lower with a balloon mortgage because only the interest is paid each month. For example, borrowing $10,000 in a balloon mortgage means that a large payment is due in one lump sum at the end of the term. Note that if you cannot make the final payment or refinance the amount, you can lose your home. The reason for the \"\"balloon\"\" payment is due to a difference between the repayment term (time until maturity) of loan and the actual payment amortization (repayment plan). With regular financing, 30-year mortgages will have a 30-year amortization (repayment plan) and a 15-year mortgage will have a 15-year amortization. With ballooon finanicng, the loan is frequently due (term) in 15 years, but the payment amortization is for a 30-year repayment. Consequently, at the maturity of the loan in 15-years the debt will not have been repaid, resulting in the last payment being significantly higher."

Charles Posted April 28, 2017 In Finance, Revenue Recognition Erik Charles is the Vice President, Product Marketing, at Xactly Corporation where he is responsible for driving the product strategy, defining the product vision, and developing a strong team of product owners and designers. What is ASC 606/IFRS 15? The new accounting standards under ASC 606/IFRS 15 support convergence between the International Standards Board (IASB) and Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) to create compliance with an international system. Within the new revenue recognition principle guidance is a small section called the “incremental cost of obtaining a contract” which changes how some organizations manage their accounting for sales commissions. While sales commissions represent the biggest and most obvious expense, these revenue acquisition costs can also include legal or contract arrangement fees and bonuses – basically, any expense that’s only incurred by a company when they close a sale. To comply with the new commission expense accounting rules, companies must: track direct and incremental costs for each contract; capitalize those costs as an asset; and estimate the amortization period and record it over that term. These CEA changes impact any company paying commissions (or other costs incremental to obtaining contracts) that is reporting under U. S. GAAP. Public companies are required to be GAAP-compliant by the FTC. However, many private U. S. businesses also need to produce GAAP-compliant accounting data, including companies preparing for an IPO or companies that need to provide financials to banks or investors. In all of these cases, companies will need to produce a GAAP-compliant record."

"text": "The difference between amortization and depreciation November 24, 2017The key difference between amortization and depreciation is that amortization charges off the cost of an intangible asset, while depreciation does so for a tangible asset. Another difference between the two concepts is that amortization is almost always conducted on a straight-line basis, so that the same amount of amortization is charged to expense in every reporting period. Conversely, it is more common for depreciation expense to be recognized on an accelerated basis, so that more depreciation is recognized during earlier reporting periods than later reporting periods. Yet another difference between amortization and depreciation is that the calculation of amortization does not usually incorporate any salvage value, since an intangible asset is not typically considered to have any resale value once its useful life has expired. Conversely, a tangible asset may have some salvage value, so this amount is more likely to be included in a depreciation calculation. The two concepts also share several similar traits. For example: Non-cash. Both depreciation and amortization are non-cash expenses - that is, the company does not suffer a cash reduction when these expenses are recorded. Reporting. Both depreciation and amortization are treated as reductions from fixed assets in the balance sheet, and may even be aggregated together for reporting purposes."

Next Up Standing Loan Fully Amortizing Payment Loan Loan Constant BREAKING DOWN 'Installment Debt'Installment debt is a favored method of consumer financing for big-ticket items such as homes, cars and appliances. Installment debt is also favored by lenders since it offers a steady cash flow to the issuer throughout the life of the loan with regular payments based on a standard amortization schedule. The size of the monthly installment debt payments will be determined by the amortization schedule. The amortization schedule is created based on a number of variables, including the total principal issued, the interest rate charged, any down payment and the number of total payments. For example, few can afford to pay off the price of a home in a single payment. Therefore a loan is issued with a principal amount that covers the home’s value and is amortized with monthly installment payments over a period of time. Mortgage loans are typically structured with a 15-year payment schedule or a 30-year payment schedule."

While most investors are aware that they will be liable for depreciation taken that has not been offset by corresponding capital improvements in the property, actually determining the amount subject to recapture is often confusing; the rules relating to determination of depreciation recapture income tax liability have been substantially modified over time, and are quite specific and detail oriented. With this is in mind, the following article has been drafted only to give an explanation of depreciation recapture and the specific types of property subject to it, and a general concept of how the income tax liability is calculated, but investors would be well advised to work with qualified legal and tax advisors to determine their actual depreciation recapture income tax liability on their investment properties. Relevant Code There are two code provisions relating to depreciation recapture: Section 1245 and Section 1250. In general, Section 1245 and 1250 are mutually exclusive, as section 1250 property is defined as any depreciable real property other than Section 1245 property. Section 1250 (c). The two code provisions reflect the two general different types of property recognized for tax purposes in the United States: personal property is subject to recapture under Section 1245, but real property may be subject to either Section 1245 or Section 1250, depending on the use to which it is put and, for ACRS property, the recovery method chosen by the taxpayer. See Section 1245 (a) (3), 1250 (c), and 1245 (a) (5) (as in effect before repeal by the 1986 TRA). The initial classification of property works differently for both code provisions as well.

"title": "https://www.accountingcoach.com/blog/loan-costs-amortized\nWhy are loan costs amortized?",
"text": "Why are loan costs amortized? When loan costs are significant, they must be amortized because of the matching principle. In other words, all of the costs of a loan must be matched to the accounting periods when the loan is outstanding. To clarify this, let's assume that a company incurs legal, accounting, and registration fees of $120,000 during February in order to obtain a $4 million loan at an annual interest rate of 9%. The loan will begin on March 1 and the entire $4 million of principal will be due five years later. The company's cost of the borrowed money will be $360,000 ($4 million X 9%) of interest each year for five years plus the one-time loan costs of $120,000. It would be misleading to report the entire $120,000 of loan costs as an expense of one month. Hence, the matching principle requires that each month during the life of the loan the company should report $2,000 ($120,000 divided by 60 months) of interest expense for the loan costs in addition to the interest expense of $30,000 per month ($4 million X 9% per year = $360,000 per year divided by 12 months per year). The combination of the amortization of the loan cost plus the interest expense will mean a total monthly interest expense of $32,000 for 60 months beginning on March 1.

"text": "Small Business Accounting: What Is Amortization? By April Maguire3 min read The fact is that most of a company’s assets, whether tangible or intangible, lose value over time. Those losses are quantifiable, which can have an impact on your business’ accounting practices. When discussing an intangible asset, the process of quantifying gradual losses in value is called amortization. In accounting, amortizing means spreading out an asset’s cost over the duration of its lifespan. The benefits of recognizing amortization include showing the decrease in the asset’s book value, which can help reduce taxable income for the business in question. Because amortization can be listed as an expense, it can also be used to limit the value of stockholders’ equity. The term has a second meaning. In the context of a loan (e.g. mortgage), amortization refers to dividing payments into multiple installments consisting of both principle and interest dollars until the item is paid in full. Businesses then record the cost of payments as expenses in their income statements rather than relaying the whole cost at once."

Amoxicillin-clavulanate is currently the most common cause of clinically apparent, drug induced acute liver injury both in the United States and Europe. Background The combination of amoxicillin and clavulanate is a commonly used antibiotic which is active against many bacterial organisms that cause sinusitis, bronchitis, otitis media, skin and tissue infections and community acquired pneumonia. The combination consists of amoxicillin which is a semisynthetic, third generation penicillin and clavulanate which is a beta lactam that acts as an inhibitor of beta lactamase, the major bacterial enzyme responsible for penicillin resistance. Amoxicillin-clavulanate was approved for use in the United States in 1984 and, currently, 2 to 5 million prescriptions are filled yearly, making it one of the most common antibiotic regimens used. Current indications are for mild-to-moderate bacterial infections due to known or suspected penicillinase resistant gram positive or gram negative organisms. This combination is provided in multiple dose combinations, typically as 250 to 875 mg amoxicillin with 125 mg of clavulanate, given two to three times daily for 7 to 10 days. Amoxicillin-clavulanate is available in multiple generic formulations and under the brand name Augmentin. Common side effects include gastrointestinal upset, diarrhea and rash. Hepatotoxicity Amoxicillin-clavulanate has been implicated in hundreds of cases of clinically apparent acute liver injury and this combination is currently the most common cause of drug induced liver disease in most large case series from the United States and Europe."

"text": "Cat Health Amoxicillin vs. Clavamox for Catsby Betty Lewis Clavamox and amoxicillin are similar, but not the same. Amoxicillin and Clavamox are antibiotics that are part of the penicillin family. Like other antibiotics, they're used to treat infections caused by bacteria but are ineffective against viruses. If Frisky has an infection your vet will determine which antibiotic will be most effective in her treatment. Using Antibiotics in Cats Penicillin was the original antibiotic used in medicine and forms of it are still widely used in people and animals. Cats and dogs suffering from a variety of infections, including bladder, respiratory and skin infections, as well as abscesses and infected wounds, all benefit from penicillin. If Frisky is suffering from some form of infection, chances are your vet will prescribe amoxicillin or Clavamox, which are two of the most commonly prescribed antibiotics for cats. Amoxicillin Amoxicillin is a form of penicillin that is able to resist stomach acid; it kills bacteria by preventing them from building a proper cell wall that they need to grow. Vets often prescribe amoxicillin to prevent or treat bladder and upper respiratory infections, as well as cuts and wounds and infections in the mouth. It can be administered to Frisky by your vet as an injection, or you can give it to her orally in pill or liquid form."

"text": "Approach Considerations In June 2013, the American Academy of Pediatrics published updated guidelines on the diagnosis and management of acute bacterial sinusitis in children and adolescents. Changes include the following: Previous diagnostic criteria for acute bacterial sinusitis in children were acute upper respiratory tract infection (URI) with either nasal discharge and/or daytime cough for longer than 10 days or severe onset of fever, purulent nasal discharge, and other respiratory symptoms for 3 or more consecutive days. A third criterion added to the updated guideline is URI with worsening symptoms such as nasal discharge, cough, and fever after initial improvement. Physicians may now observe children with persistent infection lasting longer than 10 days for an additional 3 days before prescribing antibiotics, but antibiotics should still be given to children with severe onset or worsening symptoms. First-line therapy is amoxicillin with or without clavulanate. Imaging tests are not recommended for children with uncomplicated acute bacterial sinusitis, although children with suspected orbital or CNS complications should undergo CT scanning of the paranasal sinuses. The Canadian clinical practice guidelines for acute bacterial rhinosinusitis based the diagnosis of acute bacterial sinusitis on the presence of specific symptoms and their duration; imagining or cultures are not needed in uncomplicated cases. [ 36] The guidelines for treatment depend on symptom severity and recommend intranasal corticosteroids (INCSs) as monotherapy for mild and moderate cases, although the benefit might be modest. The use of INCSs plus antibiotics is reserved for patients who fail to respond to INCSs after 72 hours and for initial treatment of patients with severe symptoms. The guidelines recommended that antibiotic selection must account for the suspected pathogen, the risk of resistance, comorbid conditions, and local antimicrobial resistance trends."

The ability to produce beta-lactamases, enzymes that destroy beta-lactam antibiotics, presented a distinct survival advantage for the pathogenic bacteria. A beta-lactam ring (ß-lactam) is a lactam with a heteroatomic ring structure, consisting of three carbon atoms and one nitrogen atom. ( Fig 1) (1) Beta lactam antibiotics act by binding to the penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), thus inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. ß lactamases are enzymes that split the amide bond of ß-lactam ring. When the ß-lactam ring of this antibiotic class is hydrolyzed, antimicrobial activity is destroyed. [ Fig 2] Fig 1 Penicillin nucleus. Beta lactam is the square at the center.

This medication uses a combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid enabling it to target and treat drug-resistant bacteria. Because of this unique combination, veterinarians are able to treat a variety of bacterial infections with Clavamox. A dog is about to get his teeth brushed.credit: karelnoppe/i Stock/Getty Images How Does Clavamox Work? Amoxicillin is a penicillin-like antibiotic used to kill bacteria. Unfortunately, many strains of bacteria develop resistance to amoxicillin. The addition of clavulanic acid, a beta-lactamase inhibitor, in Clavamox, prevents the bacteria from overtaking the amoxicillin and allowing the antibiotic to kill the infection. Typical Canine Infections Treated With Clavamox In dogs, Clavamox typically treats infections in the skin. Abscesses and wounds infected with Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus spp. and E. coli are examples of common infections."

General Information Co-Amoxiclav is an antibiotic combination consisting of amoxicillin, a penicillin antibiotic, and clavulanic acid, an antibiotic substance to protect the antibiotic against resistance. It is prescribed for the treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections caused by susceptible organisms including middle ear infections, upper and lower respiratory tract infections, dental abscess, skin and soft tissue infections and gonorrhoea. It is also used to prevent bacterial growth developing inside the heart in those who are at risk of such infection during certain surgical procedures. Co-Amoxiclav is furthermore used along with other medication - often another antibiotic and a drug to reduce stomach acid secretion - to treat H. pylori, a cause of stomach ulcers. Co-Amoxiclav can cause minor stomach upsets and a blotchy skin rash, a common unwanted effect, which is not necessarily an indication of an allergic reaction. Should you develop a skin rash, you should however consult your doctor to rule out the possibility of allergy. A penicillin allergy may lead to fever, swelling of the mouth and tongue, itching and associated breathing difficulties. Antibiotic resistance - when a bacterium develops the ability to defend itself against the effect of an antibiotic – may occur with Co-Amoxiclav. This mostly happens when patients do not complete prescribed antibiotic courses, allowing the bacteria to recover from treatment, and the use of antibiotics for non-bacterial infections such as cold and flu."

The medication is available in tablet form and contains a combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid. While amoxicillin directly attacks gram positive and gram negative bacteria, clavulanic acid works to kill enzymes that are produced by these bacteria. Since these enzymes prevent amoxicillin from destroying bacterial infections, clavulanic acid has to be administered to the dog so that susceptible bacteria are completely destroyed. Uses of Noroclav Noroclav is used to treat urinary tract infections, pyodermas, skin infections, soft tissue infections and periodontal diseases. Because amoxicillin is a broad spectrum antibiotic, the medication can also be used to treat gastrointestinal tract and respiratory tract infections. Noroclav is a prescription drug and should only be administered according to vet instructions. While some pets respond favorably to this drug, others may show signs of allergic reactions.

The incidence of gastrointestinal, hepatic and haematological side effects is significantly higher for amoxicillin/clavulanic acid. Also, Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid seems to be associated with a higher risk of Stevens-Johnson syndrome, purpura and hepatitis than amoxicillin alone. Recurrent Otitis media For recurrent otitis media (middle ear infection) amoxycillin/clavulanate for 7 days is comparable to amoxycillin for 10 days. Results of double-blind study 14 with parallel groups of Amoxycillin/clavulanate versus amoxycillin for recurrent otitis media. Amoxicillin suspension (Imacillin) Amoxicillin- clavulanate suspension (Spektramox)Regimen Treatment results More than 90% response Treatment results after about 30 days after start of antibiotic therapy Similar Elimination of the initially occurring pathogens Equal Elimination of Branhamella catarrhalis Significantly higher elimination rate Tolerability Equal Secretory Otitis media Amoxicillin/clavulanate may have some advantages over amoxicillin in the treatment of otitis media with effusion (fluid in the middle ear, or \"\"Glue ear\"\"). Results of comparative study of Augmentin and amoxicillin trihydrate for otitis media with effusion 3. Amoxicillin Amoxicillin- clavulanate Effusion free rate at day 10 following study entry 32% (16 of 50 patients) 51.8% (29 of 56 patients)Effusion free rate at 4 weeks following study entry 51.1% (23 of 45 patients) 50% (26 of 50 patients)Recurrence of effusion by the 16-week 63.2% (12 of 19 patients) 36.4% (8 of 22 patients)Respiratory tract infections (pneumonia, bronchitis, bronchiectasis)Amoxicillin plus clavulanic acid is more effective than amoxicillin in the treatment of respiratory infections. Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid is superior to amoxicillin against strains of Branhamella catarrhalis, E. coli, coagulase-negative staphylococci and K. pneumoniae. A Croatian study 6 compared amoxicillin/clavulanic acid and amoxicillin in the treatment of respiratory tract infections."

Do not use this medication if you are allergic to amoxicillin or clavulanate potassium, or if you have ever had liver problems caused by this medication. Do not use if you are allergic to any other penicillin antibiotic, such as amoxicillin (Amoxil, Augmentin, Dispermox, Moxatag), ampicillin (Principen, Unasyn), dicloxacillin (Dycill, Dynapen), oxacillin (Bactocill), or penicillin (Bicillin L-A, PC Pen VK, Pfizerpen), and others. Before taking amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium, tell your doctor if you have liver disease (or a history of hepatitis or jaundice), kidney disease, or mononucleosis, or if you are allergic to a cephalosporin antibiotic, such as cefdinir (Omnicef), cefprozil (Cefzil), cefuroxime (Ceftin), cephalexin (Keflex), and others. If you switch from one tablet form to another (regular, chewable, or extended-release tablet), take only the new tablet form and strength prescribed for you. This medicine may not be as effective or could be harmful if you do not use the exact tablet form your doctor has prescribed. Amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby. Amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium can make birth control pills less effective. Ask your doctor about using a non-hormone method of birth control (such as a condom, diaphragm, spermicide) to prevent pregnancy while taking amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium."

Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time.can advil and amoxicillin be taken together If you are referring to just regular Advil and regular prescription Amoxicillin, yes, it is okay to take them together. However, just remember that Advil (ibuprofen) can cause stomach upset for some people. And Amoxicillin as well (as with most antibiotics) can also cause stomach issues. A good idea to prevent intestinal problems (gas, diarrhea, etc) while taking any prescription antibiotic is to eat a container of yogurt every day for as long as you are you are taking the antibiotic. And maybe a few days after, just for good measure. Antibiotics kill all the bacteria in the targeted areas of the body, including the good bacteria in the intestinal tract which keep your intestines in check. Eating the yogurt will replenish the good bacteria that the antibiotics kill off, thus preventing you from having any real major \"\"stomach issues\"\" while you're taking it. Just FYI ... you can go to http://www.drugs.com/drug_interactions.html in the future to get info on drugs and their various interactions when taken together. ("

Though it can be highly effective in treating bacterial infections, it also comes with a list of potential side effects even in those who aren’t allergic to it. There are 14 known side effects for amoxicillin (Amoxil, Trimox). These are:allergic reactions like skin rash, itching or hives, swelling of the face, lips, or tonguebreathing problemsdark urineredness, blistering, peeling or loosening of the skin, including inside the mouthdiarrheastomach upsetheadachedizzinesstrouble sleepingseizuresunusually weak or tiredunusual bleeding or bruisingyellowing of the eyes or skintrouble passing urine, or a decrease in the quantity of urine Allergic reactions like skin rash, itching, hives, or swelling of the face, lips, or tongue Allergies aren’t always the reason for a negative reaction to a drug. In fact, allergic reactions are a rare occurrence. Though it may seem like an allergic reaction, it is really a nonallergic adverse reaction. The most common causes of nonallergic adverse reactions are anticonvulsants, aspirin and NSAIDS, vaccines, diabetes meds, and chemotherapeutic agents. Mild allergic reactions include skin rash, itching, and hives. Mild allergic reactions aren’t too worrisome on their own but should be observed in case symptoms worsen. Mild symptoms can be treated with antihistamines and hydrocortisone."

This article will delve into the world of surfactants that we use in our laundry washing machines. Surfactants in Laundry Detergents A surfactant is the working molecule in a detergent mixture, or in a soap. In general surfactant molecules are long carbon chain molecules which attract water molecules, on the one end, and yet repel water molecules on the other end. There are numerous possibilities in how the surfactant molecule may be formed chemically. And, the chemical structure of surfactants will influence the manner in which that surfactant can interact with water, with minerals in the water and with the oil and dirt on the laundry. Later in this series there will be a description of how a surfactant in a laundry detergent actually works to clean the laundry but for now we will just look at the types of surfactants that may be used in the detergent and cleaning business. Industry is always on the search for a more effective, cheaper alternative to current surfactants that are in use. At the level of laundry itself, there are several specific types of surfactants that are used. These chemical compounds are used for particular purposes."

The average atomic mass represents the weighted average of all of the naturally occuring isotopes in a sample. The average mass of any large number of atoms, like a mole (6.02 x 1023 atoms), of a naturally occurring sample of a given element is always the same as the average atomic mass on the periodic table, regardless of isotopes (different mass numbers) or allotropes (different bonding structure). A compound is found to contain 1.32 moles of Li, 0.66 moles of Se, and 2.64 moles of O. Find the empirical formula of the compound. Divide all mole values by the smallest value (0.66) to determine the subscripts. A laboratory analysis produced the following mass percent data: 48.5% C, 3.9% H, and 47.5% O. Find the empirical formula of the compound. Assume 100 g of substance (and round percents to a whole number to simplify mental math) to get 49 g of C, 4 g of H, and 48 g of O. Convert mass to moles by dividing by the molar mass: 49 g / 12 g/mol = 4 moles of C, 4 g / 1 g/mol = 4 moles of H, and 48 g / 16 g/mol = 3 moles of O. The 4:4:3 ratio is the most reduced or simpliest mole ratio possible. Therefore the mole values obtained are the subscripts of the empirical formula: C4H4O3."

[ 1] Many metals (such as copper, zinc, tin, lead, aluminium, and beryllium) form amphoteric oxides or hydroxides. Amphoterism depends on the oxidation states of the oxide. Al 2 O 3 is an example of an amphoteric oxide. Metal oxides which react with both acids as well as bases to produce salts and water are known as amphoteric oxides. Amphoteric oxides include lead oxide and zinc oxide, among many others. One type of amphoteric species are amphiprotic molecules, which can either donate or accept a proton (H + ). Examples include amino acids and proteins, which have amine and carboxylic acid groups, and self-ionizable compounds such as water. Ampholytes are amphoteric molecules that contain both acidic and basic groups and will exist mostly as zwitterions in a certain range of p H. The p H at which the average charge is zero is known as the molecule's isoelectric point. Ampholytes are used to establish a stable p H gradient for use in isoelectric focusing."

Some of the main uses of CE include: DNA fingerprinting - After the DNA has been amplified, it can be separated by CE. Separation can be at a resolution of one base pair and individual nucleotides can be identified so allowing a high resolution map of the DNA to be created. Drug Analysis - CE is used in pharma for the analysis of drugs and related compounds as discussed in Capillary Electrophoresis: an Attractive Technique for Chiral Separations. Its high selectivity means that it provides a good resolution to separations. When separating certain compounds, amines for example, CE can use a non-reactive capillary surface at a p H chosen by the technician to provide good separation."

It is a white solid ionic compound consisting of sodium cations Na + and hydroxide anions OH −. Sodium hydroxide is a highly caustic base and alkali that decomposes proteins at ordinary ambient temperatures and may cause severe chemical burns. It is highly soluble in water, and readily absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide from the air. It forms a series of hydrates Na OH· n H 2O. [10] The monohydrate Na OH· H 2O crystallizes from water solutions between 12.3 and 61.8 °C. The commercially available \"\"sodium hydroxide\"\" is often this monohydrate, and published data may refer to it instead of the anhydrous compound. As one of the simplest hydroxides, it is frequently utilized alongside neutral water and acidic hydrochloric acid to demonstrate the p H scale to chemistry students. [ 11]Sodium hydroxide is used in many industries: in the manufacture of pulp and paper, textiles, drinking water, soaps and detergents, and as a drain cleaner. Worldwide production in 2004 was approximately 60 million tonnes, while demand was 51 million tonnes.

It is the equilibrium constant for a chemical reaction known as dissociation in the context of acid–base reactions. [ note 1] In aqueous solution, the equilibrium of acid dissociation can be written symbolically as:where HA is a generic acid that dissociates into A −, known as the conjugate base of the acid and a hydrogen ion which combines with a water molecule to make a hydronium ion. In the example shown in the figure, HA represents acetic acid, and A − represents the acetate ion, the conjugate base. The chemical species HA, A − and H 3 O + are said to be in equilibrium when their concentrations do not change with the passing of time. The dissociation constant is usually written as a quotient of the equilibrium concentrations (in mol/L), denoted by [HA], [A −] and [H 3 O +]In all but the most concentrated aqueous solutions of an acid the concentration of water can be taken as constant and can be ignored."

Alkalinity is a measure of the capacity of the water to resists a change in p H that would tend to make the water more acidic. The measurement of alkalinity and p H is needed to determine the corrosivity of the water."

It concentrates on the structural differences between carbon dioxide and silicon dioxide, and on the trends in acid-base behaviour of the oxides as you go down Group 4. The structures of carbon dioxide and silicon dioxide There is an enormous difference between the physical properties of carbon dioxide and silicon dioxide (also known as silicon (IV) oxide or silica). Carbon dioxide is a gas whereas silicon dioxide is a hard high-melting solid. The other dioxides in Group 4 are also solids. This obviously reflects a difference in structure between carbon dioxide and the dioxides of the rest of the Group. The structure of carbon dioxide The fact that carbon dioxide is a gas means that it must consist of simple molecules. Carbon can form simple molecules with oxygen because it can form double bonds with the oxygen. None of the other elements in Group 4 form double bonds with oxygen, and so that forces completely different structures on them.

A Brønsted-Lowry base is any species that is capable of accepting a proton, which requires a lone pair of electrons to bond to the H +. Water is amphoteric, which means it can act as both a Brønsted-Lowry acid and a Brønsted-Lowry base. Strong acids and bases ionize completely in aqueous solution, while weak acids and bases ionize only partially. The conjugate base of a Brønsted-Lowry acid is the species formed after an acid donates a proton. The conjugate acid of a Brønsted-Lowry base is the species formed after a base accepts a proton.

If you have been drinking green tea for its anti-oxidant properties; taking Valerian root for its ability to relieve muscle tension; or know that sprinkling fresh oregano on foods does more than just make it taste good then you are experiencing the benefits of therapeutic plants known as herbs. As more people turn to herbal preparations over pharmaceutical medications to help relieve their symptoms this is an area that science is now studing with greater urgency. The specific constituents of herbs, many of which have been used for thousands of years in other cultures, are now being reported on in main stream research such as Pub Med. Researchers are working to discover exactly how these plants work their “magic” on humans so that we can harness their healing benefits for many of our most serious diseases like diabetes, cancer, COPD, Fibromyalgia, and cardiovascular disease. The study and therapeutic use of herbs is very ancient and can be complex. Generally there are three tracks; Western/European herbs; Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayuvedic Medicine. While there are some specific herbs that are used in all three of these disciplines, there are herbs distinctly unique to each herbal culture. As you might imagine, the specific therapeutic herb used by each discipline is largely dependent upon the part of the world each was grown, discovered and studied."

"text": "17.5 Factors That Affect Solubility The solubility of a substance is affected not only by temperature but also by the presence of other solutes. For example, the presence of an acid can have a major influence on the solubility of a substance. In the last section we considered the dissolving of ionic compounds in pure water. In this section we examine three factors that affect the solubility of ionic compounds: the presence of common ions, the p H of the solution, and the presence of complexing agents. We will also examine the phenomenon of amphoterism, which is related to the effects of both p H and complexing agents. Common-Ion Effect The presence of either Ca 2+ (aq) or F – (aq) in a solution reduces the solubility of Ca F 2, shifting the solubility equilibrium of Ca F 2 to the left: This reduction in solubility is another application of the common-ion effect. In general, the solubility of a slightly soluble salt is decreased by the presence of a second solute that furnishes a common ion. Figure 17.15 shows how the solubility of Ca F 2 decreases as Na F is added to the solution. Sample Exercise 17.12 shows how the K sp can be used to calculate the solubility of a slightly soluble salt in the presence of a common ion. Figure 17.15 The effect of the concentration of Na F on the solubility of Ca F 2 demonstrates the common-ion effect."

"text": "Bases Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Bases are considered the chemical opposite of acids because of their ability to neutralize acids. In 1887 the Swedish physicist and chemist Svante Arrhenius defined a base as the chemical substance that produces hydroxide ions (OH − ) and cations. A typical base, according to the Arrhenius definition, is sodium hydroxide (Na OH). The neutralization of an acid with a base to yield salt and water may be represented as HCl ( aq ) + KOH ( aq ) ⇆ H 2 O ( l ) + KCl ( aq ) (1)A major problem with Arrhenius's definition of bases is that several chemical compounds, such as Na HCO 3 , Na 2 CO 3 , Na 3 PO 4 , which produce basic solutions when dissolved in water, do not contain hydroxide ions. The Brønsted-Lowry theory, which was proposed independently by Danish chemist Johannes Brønsted and English chemist Thomas Lowry in 1923, states that a base accepts hydrogen ions and an acid donates hydrogen ions. This theory not only includes all bases containing hydroxide ions, but also covers any chemical species that are able to accept hydrogen ions in aqueous solution . For example, when sodium carbonate is dissolved in solution, the carbonate ion accepts a hydrogen ion from water to form the bicarbonate ion and hydroxide ion. ( 2)The Brønsted-Lowry theory includes water as a reactant and considers its acidity or basicity. In reaction (2) a new acid and base are formed, which are called the conjugate acid and conjugate base, respectively. The strength of a base is determined by the extent of its ionization in aqueous solution."

Water Mg OH and Na OH are both strong bases but are often concentrated Ammonia is a weak base Water is amphoteric and so can act as an acid or a base (proton acceptor/donator) according to the bronsted lowry definition. It can therefore be a strong base depending on the reaction but is never concentrated as it is water.peggysue · 9 years ago0 9 Comment Asker's rating Water is neutral though it can act as a base or an acid since its amphoteric. Ammonia is a weak base because it doesn't fully dissociate in water to form hydroxide ions and ammonium. It's an equilibrium reaction. Magnesium hydroxide and Sodium hydroxide are both strong bases since they are both metal hydroxides. Diluting it isn't going to change the basic-ness of the solution. So basically...a or b are correct. Na OH is probably a more stronger base than Mg (OH)2 at the same concentration but in general, both are strong bases.r a d i a n t · 9 years ago0 3 Commentwater is not a strong base Mg (OH)2 and Na OH are strong bases, but can be concentrated NH3 = ammonia = strong base but it is usually < 40% in volume because it is a stable gas, but it is also in equilibrium with water and NH4+. This is why in the lab you'll normally see NH3 as NH4Cl or NH4+ with some other halide as an attempt to keep it concentrated."

Archaeologist Brian Hayden argues that feasts were an important event because the surplus of food that resulted in feasts turned into social and political ties and a competition in order to display one's own wealth. During these feasts, luxury foods were offered to their guest [2]. What these luxury goods were are still up to debate. However, Hayden argues that animal meat and rice are some of these luxury goods because they were domesticated despite their difficulty in doing so. [ 3] The term banquet, however, termed from a different time period. The idea of banqueting is ancient (see Sellisternium, Belshazzar's Feast, and Mead halls )."

"text": "Table for Three at Disneyland’s Club 33Wayne Toigo | September 4, 2012Recently I had the privilege to go to dinner at the famous Club 33 at Disneyland . As many of you know, Club 33 is a private, membership-only club, located inside Disneyland. My DIS friends Jeff and Stacy Giovanniello were with me. It turned out to be a pretty amazing evening and I wanted to share with you some of the highlights at this very unique location. I also discussed our evening, as well as some history of Club 33, on a recent episode of the DIS Unplugged Podcast: Disneyland Edition. Club 33 is located in New Orleans Square and occupies the upper floors of what appears to be the shops all around the Square. The entrance is cleverly hidden right next to the Blue Bayou, but most of us Disney fans know where the secret entrance door with the “33″ next to it is located. Image: The famous Club 33 entrance door On this night the three of us had dinner reservations and even though most of that day we were touring around Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, the entire day was filled with the anticipation of the evening’s activities. We left the parks a bit early to go get freshened up and change into our evening attire. Club 33 does have a somewhat formal dress code for evening meals and we all wanted to look our best."

"text": "\"Event Planning Event Catering Basic Catering Guide for Event Planners Working effectively with catering is a key responsibility Share Flip Pin Email•••By Rob Hard Updated October 21, 2017Catering is the activity of providing food and beverage for events. Caterers, which are either independent vendors or individuals within a particular department of a facility, such as a hotel or a restaurant. Catering is provided at a full range of events, including business meetings, conferences, exhibitions, special events, weddings, and other social occasions. In addition to responsibilities for food and beverage, many caterers also handle event decor, A/V and other aspects of the program. The catering manager will typically manage the staffing of servers, chefs, and others. For example, the event manager organized a fundraising special event at the local hotel, and the catering department handled all logistics associated with food, beverage, decor, and entertainment for the program. Catering included a cocktail hour and a formal sit down meal. Deciding on a Menu As an event planner, you'll meet with the banquet or catering manager ahead of your event to discuss your needs. Knowing the basics of what you'll need will save you time. For example, if you're planning a business meeting that will carry over to lunch, you may order box lunches."

This lesson discusses the amygdala, its functions, and its role in our perception of fear and other emotions. The Role of Fear Do you have any fears? For some people, their biggest fear may be death. For others, it may be public speaking. In fact, most humans will have at least one or more things that they fear in life, no matter how dangerous or innocent the object of that fear may be. But there is a reason for that. Fear often helps us with self-preservation. We feel fear, as well as related emotions, in order to protect ourselves from danger and to heighten our awareness. This awareness is thought to be controlled by a section of the brain known as the amygdala."

"text": "\"Dr. Michael Roizen, MDInternal Medicine The biology of mental problems involves your neurological gatekeeper - the part of the brain called the amygdala. Almond shaped, the amygdala takes all of the information from the part of your brain called the thalamus relay station and pushes it to the cortex - the part of the brain that helps you make decisions, like running out of a burning building. It's the amygdala that assigns meaning to that smoke alarm - so that you actually jump when you hear it. How? The amygdala assigns emotion, so that the alarm isn't just some buzzer from some appliance attached to the ceiling. That buzzing and beeping means your little derriere might be best off bolting out the front door. And here is where the beautiful biology shines through. The amygdala recognizes that there might be an emergency; the cortex decides what to do about it. So in essence, your amygdala establishes what science-heads to call \"\"salience\"\" - that is, it chooses which stimuli or pieces of info to prioritize. If the amygdala is the emotional part of the brain, the cortex is the rational part."

Memory, Learning, and Test-Taking Success The past two decades have provided extraordinary progress in our understanding of the nature of learning. Never before have neuroscience and classroom instruction been so closely linked. Because advances in technology enable us to view the working brain as it learns, educators can now find evidence-based neuroimaging and brain-mapping studies to determine the most effective ways to teach. Brain Plasticity and Pruning Learning causes growth of brain cells. For a long time, scientists held a misconception about brain growth: they believed it stopped at birth and was followed by a lifetime of brain cell death. Now we know that although most of the neurons where information is stored are present at birth, there is lifelong growth of the support and connecting cells that enrich the communication between neurons. These dendrites sprout from the arms (axons) or the cell body of the neuron. Dendrites increase in size and number in response to learned skills, experience, and information. New dendrites grow as branches from frequently activated neurons."

The electrocardiogram (ECG) image above right (links to source) is from the Merck Manual Online Medical Library's entry for \"\"Ventricular Tachycardia.\"\" The top strip's series of repeating wide uncoordinated spikes indicates a rapid heartbeat. Fear can generate this kind of heart rhythm. A normal ECG strip, with very coordinated spikes, is shown at the bottom for comparison. The brain's FEAR neurocircuitry: Like other emotive circuits we discuss in Part 2 of My Brain Notes.com, the neurocircuitry for fear is genetically encoded in the mammalian brain. Panksepp writes: \"\"The emotional experience of fear appears to arise from a conjunction of neural processes that prompt animals to hide (freeze) if danger is distant or inescapable, or to flee when danger is close but can be avoided. \"\" In the laboratory, intense electrode stimulation of FEAR neurocircuitry prompts an animal to try to flee. Panksepp explains that such stimulation \"\"leads animals to run away as if they are extremely scared.\"\" He writes: \"\"If given the opportunity, animals will avoid environments where they have received such stimulation in the past, and if no avenue of escape is provided, they will freeze as if in the presence of a predator. \"\""

"text": "CBD Oil for Anxiety – Cannabidiol & Anxiety Disorders Having landed on this page, you have indicated at least an interest in the medical benefits of Cannabidiol (CBD) oil. CBD is taking the medical world of science by storm, there is no question about it. This natural substance has already tremendously impacted the lives of many people, and has become indispensable in keeping a large number of medical conditions in check. In this article we take a closer look on cbd oil for anxiety. It is normal to feel anxiety in certain situations, but when anxiety occurs on a regular basis and for no apparent reason and alters the quality of our life, then we can say that we have a serious psychological problem. When someone experiences anxiety during daily tasks, the health and well-being of that person can be severely affected. As excessive anxiety can actually disable a person. In other words, that person will not feel capable of performing his or her usual tasks and lead a normal life. In America alone, 40 million people suffer from anxiety disorders, a situation in which each of these people needs medical attention. When a person receives such a diagnostic, the regular treatment involves antidepressants, like Prozac, anxiolytics, like Xanax, and psychotherapy."

"text": "Fleeing the Brain’s Fear Center Tags: Brain Emotion Fear Motivation Neuroscience Perception Scientific “facts” often take on a life of their own. Scientists make legitimate and exciting new discoveries, with the best tools available to them in their time, and these findings get verified and modified and cited and, eventually, repeated without question. Over time, insights get simplified for non-scientists, and translated into the plain language of introductory textbooks. If they get repeated often enough, for long enough, some of these facts even seep into the popular culture. So it is with the amygdala, otherwise known as the brain’s “fear center.” Whether it’s in newspapers or popular science books or Wikipedia, the amygdala is invariably described as a small, almond-shaped cluster of neurons buried deep within the brain’s limbic system. There are two of them, one on each side of the brain, and the dominant view is that their primary purpose is to govern the emotion of fear. That means both that we need these clusters of neurons in order to feel afraid, and conversely, that activity in the amygdala is a sure sign that we are scared or threatened. This is not is entirely wrong. But two psychological scientists are now arguing that this notion of a fear center is simplistic and incomplete."

"text": "\"Human Brain Neuroscience What is the smallest part of the brain? What functions are regulated there?5 Answers Reshma Bhatnagar, Biochemist with an MSc in Translational Neuroscience Updated Sep 8, 2016This is a rather vague question. In what context do you mean the smallest part of the brain? Anyway, here is an attempt at answering your question on the basis of what I have understood. In the largest anatomical context, the brain is divided into the cerebrum, cerebellum, medulla and pons, of which the pons is the smallest part. It functions as a relay system, connecting other parts of the brain. Due to its function as a relay system, its effects are wide-ranging and include autonomous functions of the nervous system like breathing, sleep etc. At the functional level, brain divisions become blurred as not much is known of its functioning (for example which region is responsible for sight). It may be tempting, for example, to state that the visual cortex is responsible for vision, but this does not take into consideration visual signal processing in the association cortex. There are intermingling signals and interactions, implying that functionally the signals processed by the brain cannot be pinpointed to only a single region."

"text": "PTSD, the Hippocampus, and the Amygdala – How Trauma Changes the Brainby Ruth Buczynski, Ph D 26 Comments Emotional neurocircuitry . . .. . . it’s how the brain is wired for emotions. But in the brain of a person with PTSD, emotional distress could physically (and perhaps even visibly) change the neurocircuitry. In a normal brain, the interaction between the hippocampus and the amygdala is important for processing emotional memory. It’s suspected that they both change in response to experience as well. But when someone experiences trauma, do these parts of the brain change together, or are they completely independent of one another? In a recent study led by Quan Zhang, MD at China’s Tianjin Medical University General Hospital, researchers looked at the relationship between the hippocampus and the amygdala in coal miners suffering from PTSD after surviving a gas explosion. Specifically, they were interested in the change in gray matter volume in these areas of the brain after the traumatic experience of the blast. Would the volume in both of these emotion-processing brain regions decrease? And if so, do the amygdala and the hippocampus change together?"

First of all, there are two, quite different, elements to this question. The first concerns the emotional content of the information you want to remember. The second concerns the effect of your emotional state on your learning and remembering. The effect of emotional content It does seem clear that, as a general rule, we remember emotionally charged events better than boring ones. Latest research suggests that it is the emotions aroused, not the personal significance of the event, that makes such events easier to remember. The memory of strongly emotional images and events may be at the expense of other information. Thus, you may be less likely to remember information if it is followed by something that is strongly emotional. This effect appears to be stronger for women."

Last Updated: 07/18/2016 at 6:38am Top Rated Answer Anonymous December 8th, 2014 7:28am Everyone has what is called a parasympathetic nervous system and a sympathetic nervous system. The parasympathetic nervous system is what makes you feel hungry or tired. the sympathetic nervous system is what helps you survive traumatic encounters. During a panic response, your sympathetic nervous system is triggered. Impulses called action potentials originating in the amygdala travel down to the adrenal glands in your kidneys. The adrenal glands then produce norepinephrine and epinephrine (called adrenaline and noradrenalin in the UK). These drugs, collectively known as \"\"adrenaline\"\" in laymen's terms cause your heart to pump faster and harder, and blood vessels to constrict. Blood away from your extremities and toward your internal organs. Endorphins--organically produced endogenous opiods--bind to the opiod receptors in your brain, giving you a \"\"rush\"\" and dulling your sensation of pain."

Anatomical organization The amygdala was first recognized as a distinct brain region in the early 19th century. The name, derived from the Greek, was meant to denote an almond-like shape structure in the medial temporal lobe. Like most brain regions, the amygdala is not a single mass but is composed of distinct subareas or nuclei ( Figure 1 ).

In particular, the areas that are related to the recognition of emotion include the brain (limbic system) and the autonomic nervous system or ANS. The Limbic System The region of the brain that is related to the recognition and regulation of emotion is called the limbic system. The limbic system is composed of the amygdala, hippocampus, septum, anterior thalamic nuclei, septum, fornix and limbic cortex. The amygdala is the part of the limbic system that regulates emotions. Brain Pathways According to researchers, the sensory information that emerges from events that trigger emotions is transmitted to the thalamus, the relay center of the brain. From the thalamus, the information is transferred to two brain structures: the amygdala and the brain cortex. The role of amygdala is to promptly process the sensory information and transmit signals to the hypothalamus afterwards. In turn, the hypothalamus releases hormones that activate the Autonomic Nervous System or ANS. The other pathway, the brain cortex, slowly processes the sensory information from the thalamus."

While there is much agreement as to the physiological effects of fear, the neural pathways and connections that bring upon these effects are not well understood. From the evolutionary standpoint, the theory is that fear is a neural circuit that has been designed to keep the organism alive in dangerous situations (1). How does it all work? Learning and responding to stimuli that warn of danger involves neural pathways that send information about the outside world to the amygdala, which in turn, determines the significance of the stimulus and triggers emotional responses like freezing or fleeing as well as changes in the inner workings of the body's organs and glands (1). There are important distinctions to make between emotions and feelings. Feelings are \"\"red herrings\"\", products of the conscious mind, labels given to unconscious emotions (2) whereas emotions are distinct patterns of behaviors of neurons. Emotions can exist of conscious experiencesas well as physiological and neurological reactions and voluntary and involuntary behaviors (3). But the components of fear goes beyond feelings and emotions. It is also the specific memory of the emotion."

The study aim was to map local differences of cortical and amygdalar morphology. Cortical pattern matching and radial distance mapping techniques were used to analyze the magnetic resonance images of 26 violent male offenders (age: 32 ± 8) with psychopathy diagnosed using the Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R) and no schizophrenia spectrum disorders, and in matched controls (age: 35 ± sp=\"\"0.12\"\"/>11). The cortex displayed up to 20% reduction in the orbitofrontal and midline structures (corrected p < 0.001 bilaterally). Up to 30% tissue reduction in the basolateral nucleus, and 10–30% enlargement effects in the central and lateral nuclei indicated abnormal structure of the amygdala (corrected p = 0.05 on the right; and symmetrical pattern on the left). Psychopathy features specific morphology of the main cerebral structures involved in cognitive and emotional processing, consistent with clinical and functional data, and with a hypothesis of an alternative evolutionary brain development. Previous article Next article Keywords Psychopathy Neuroimaging Cerebral cortex Amygdala Cortical pattern matching Radial distance mapping1. Introduction Psychopathy is a personality disorder defined by interpersonal, affective, lifestyle, and antisocial traits and behaviors, including grandiosity, egocentricity, deceptiveness, shallow emotions, lack of empathy, guilt, or remorse, irresponsibility, impulsivity, and a tendency to violate social norms ( Hare, 2003 ). Psychopathic offenders are responsible for a disproportionate amount of antisocial behaviors, crimes and violence, and are overrepresented in correctional and forensic psychiatric institutions. Psychopathy is conceptually similar to the DSM-IV category of antisocial personality disorder (ASPD)."

Cialis, Levitra (Vardenafil) and Viagra™ (Sildenafil) work by selectively inhibiting an enzyme in the penis called Phosphodiesterase V (PDE V), a chemical that takes away the erection.

Patients need sexual stimulation and foreplay to release NO initiate an erection in order for these medications to be effective. They are called phosphodiesterase inhibitors. This class of medication is a safe and effective oral treatment for men with erectile dysfunction of physical, psychological or mixed cause. However, it is important that patients should be aware of the low probability (less than 50%) that intercourse will be possible after the first dose - particularly in severe or advanced cases and especially when using Viagra or Levitra. The majority of men who stop Viagra because of apparent lack of effect will in fact respond and achieve intercourse if they continue to try again, progress from 50 mg to 100 mg, or take the pill without food on an empty stomach (3 hours after eating). Taking Viagra or Levitra on a full stomach will not only reduce their peak concentration in the body by 30 to 50% but in addition will delay their peak concentration by one hour."

Amyl nitrite is is a highly volatile flammable liquid!) First produced in 1857 as a treatment for angina, amyl nitrite evaporates at room temperature.

The whole experience of buying fast food has become so routine, so thoroughly unexceptional and mundane, that it is now taken for granted, like brushing your teeth or stopping for a red light. It has become a social custom as American as a small, rectangular, hand-held, frozen and reheated apple pie. Over the past three decades, an industry that began with a handful of hot dog and hamburger stands in southern California has spread to almost every corner of the globe. Fast food is now served at restaurants, stadiums, airports, zoos, schools and universities, on cruise ships, trains and aeroplanes, at supermarkets, petrol stations and even in hospital cafeterias. Americans now spend more money on fast food - $110bn last year - than they do on higher education. They spend more on fast food than on movies, books, magazines, newspapers, videos and recorded music - combined."

"text": "\"Hydrogen cyanide (HCN)Contents - Previous - Next Hydrogen cyanide was one of the first fumigants to be used extensively under modern conditions. Its use for treating trees under tents against scale insects was developed in California in 1886 (Woglum, 1949). The use of HCN has been declining in recent years, but it is still important in certain fields of application. HCN is one of the most toxic of insect fumigants. The fact that it is very soluble in water has considerable bearing on its use in practice. Thus, it may produce injury on moist materials, such as fruit and vegetables, because the solution of HCN in water is a dilute acid. Not only does this acid render these materials unpalatable and possibly hazardous for human consumption, but its action, by causing burning, wilting or discoloration, may make them unmarketable. On the other hand, HCN has been widely used for fumigating dormant nursery stock that is sufficiently dry. It may be used for some living plants if they can be washed with water immediately after treatment to prevent burning by the acid. HCN may be employed for fumigating many dry foodstuffs, grains and seeds."

Taking CIALIS with finasteride when starting BPH treatment has been studied for 26 weeks. CIALIS is not for women or children. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION for CIALIS ® (tadalafil) tablets What Is The Most Important Information I Should Know About CIALIS? Do not take CIALIS if you:take medicines called “nitrates” such as nitroglycerin or other medications like isosorbide dinitrate or isosorbide mononitrate, which are often prescribed for chest pain as the combination may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure; or use recreational drugs called “poppers” like amyl nitrite and butyl nitrite.take medicines called guanylate cyclase stimulators such as riociguat (Adempas ®)*, a medicine used to treat pulmonary hypertension as the combination may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure.are allergic to CIALIS or ADCIRCA ® (tadalafil), or any of its ingredients. Call your healthcare provider or get help right away if you experience any symptoms of an allergic reaction, such as rash, hives, swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, or difficulty breathing or swallowing. After taking a single tablet, some of the active ingredient of CIALIS remains in your body for more than 2 days. The active ingredient can remain longer if you have problems with your kidneys or liver, or you are taking certain other medications. Stop sexual activity and get medical help right away if you get symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness, or nausea during sex. Sexual activity can put an extra strain on your heart, especially if it is already weak from a heart attack or heart disease."

There are similarities and differences between these two chemical forms that affect their pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties and their subsequent biologic effects in humans. This course will focus on inorganic nitrates. Inorganic Nitrates and Nitrites Inorganic nitrate (NO 3 -) and nitrite (NO 2 -) are water soluble (as a result of their interaction with the positively charged portions of polar water molecules) ( Figure 1) and commonly exist as salts of nitric acid and nitrous acid, respectively. They are often bound to a metal cation such as Na+ or K+ and occur naturally through the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen as part of the environmental nitrogen cycle (the cyclic movement of nitrogen in different chemical forms from the environment, to organisms, and then back to the environment as illustrated in Figure 2 ). Inorganic nitrites are also produced endogenously through oxidation of nitrous oxide (NO) formed from the enzymatic degradation of L-arginine and through the reduction of nitrate with xanthine oxidoreductase [Omar et al. 2012; Jansson et al. 2008; Rhodes et al. 1995; Leaf et al."

They include Amphetamines, Cocaine, Crack and some inhalants like Amyl or Butyl Nitrites. Caffeine (present in tea, coffee and many soft drinks) is also a mild stimulant drug. Which stimulants are abused? The most widely abused stimulants are cocaine, crack (a pure form of cocaine) and amphetamines. Cocaine has limited commercial use and its sale and possession are strictly controlled. Nevertheless there is a huge worldwide illicit network for the manufacture and supply of this drug in its various forms. Doctors sometimes prescribe pharmaceutical amphetamines and their availability makes them candidates for misuse but powdered amphetamine, manufactured in illicit laboratories, is the most common type of amphetamine to be abused in the UK. Inhalants such as amyl and butyl nitrates are legal at present."

It is commonly used to make gun powder and minor explosives, for curing meats and used medically for wounds (when combined with other chemicals). A single dose of more than 35 grams is fatal. Currently, potassium nitrate is created in a laboratory with very few natural sources utilized. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key In Sheltered Areas Potassium nitrate is a chemical compound that is made by the natural process of decay when various chemicals are introduced during this process. It is found as a white crystalline on rocks or cave walls where there was an abundance of decaying organic matter. Caves and sheltered areas were ideal locations for saltpeter to form, because they offered protection from the elements and they provided the required organic matter in the form of animal feces and urine. There have been large deposits found in ancient lake beds and deserts as well. Vegetables Because potassium nitrate can be found in soils, either by the natural decaying process or by the use of fertilizers, it gets absorbed into vegetables such as spinach, celery and cabbage. According to the University of Minnesota, the largest quantities of nitrates found in humans come from vegetables high in nitrates rather than from the consumption of meats that have been cured with potassium nitrate, such as hams and sausages."

These effects can greatly vary; some have depressant effects while others can be stimulants. Inhalants fall into the following four categories: 1Volatile Solvents are liquids that vaporize when exposed to air at room temperature. They are found in numerous household cleaning products and industrial items. Aerosols are sprays that contain solvents and propellants. They include spray-paint and various other types of sprays. Gases include those used in household and commercial products as well as medical anesthetics. Medical anesthetic gases include ether, chloroform, and nitrous oxide (\"\"laughing gas\"\" or \"\"whippets\"\"), the most abused of these gases.

In general, those duties are connected in some way to staffing, record-keeping and employee benefits. As of May 2012, the Bureau of Labor Statistics puts the median hourly wage for human resources assistants at $18.03. This pay rate does not include those coordinators who handle payroll or timekeeping duties. Recruiting An HR assistant arranges job posting advertisements, notifies qualified candidates of open positions and addresses their concerns and schedules interviews. She verifies employment eligibility by performing background checks and contacting previous employers. She processes recruiting and staffing documents relating to job applicants and new hires.

There is no association with a school or third party agency to facilitate a intership program; no credits are involved. The offer letter states that it is for position of \"\"Engineer (Intern)\"\". It is an exempt position, with a monthly salary. To me, this should be a regular or temporay position job offer. What is distrubing is that I hear this candidate is on some type of student visa that does not qualify him to work more than 20 hours/week.

Flag How much do general contractors charge per hour to do work? Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. I don't think most general contractors work on hourly rates. A general contractor working on a cost-plus basis typically charges between 10% and 15% over the total project cost as her profit. A general contractor working on a fixed-bid will probably have a significantly higher margin to account for unexpected expenses. This year (2008), the general contractor building our home in Los Angeles, CA is on a fixed fee of 10% of the estimated project cost, plus $75 per hour for any additional work due to major change requests. That hourly rate is probably high for non-costal cities.12 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

"text": "\"Benefits It's Complicated: Coordinating Medicare, Employer Health Plans For Boomers turning 65, family status and veterans benefits affect Medicare decisions By Stephen Miller, CEBSApr 15, 2011updated 11/17/2011Reaching age 65 is an important turning point for many Baby Boomers—whether they are retiring from work or not. If they remain employed, however, Baby Boomers have the added complexity of factoring Medicare into their employer-provided health care decisions. In the past decade, the number of Americans working past the Medicare-eligibility age (currenlty age 65) climbed 52 percent, according to U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data. More companies are taking steps to coordinate their health care coverage options for employees who are eligible for Medicare. “One of employees' first steps is confirming what their employer will provide once they reach age 65,” said Adrienne Muralidharan, senior product specialist for Allsup Medicare Advisor, a provider of Medicare plan selection services. The number of large companies offering retiree health benefits declined from 40 percent in 1995 to 28 percent in 2010, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. For some, employer coverage is the primary payer of benefits, with Medicare paying costs not covered by the employer plan. For other employees, the reverse is true. “It can be confusing for employees to determine how their employer coverage coordinates with Medicare,” Muralidharan pointed out. “ When you add in decisions about spouse and dependent benefits, it can become even more complicated."

I don't know, if I'm asking the question right. Can anyone, help me with this query. regards, Jennifer From India, Pune# govardhan Dear Godchild, Payroll in India was once upon a time (before 10 - 15 years) considered to be part of Accounts Department. Those are the days when payroll was seen as a mere compliance function and also as finance/accounting function as money was involved. Performance appraisal was more a ritual done once in a year and performance was not adequately related to pay. Moreover, Accounts personnel were the only people considered to be fit for doing statutory compliance realted jobs such as PF and ESI jobs in an organization. In countries like US, even before 15 years Payroll was treated as part of the Compensation & Benefits Management, which is basically HR function. Payroll, as you can see, is only an event, which is happening at a frequency as may be stipulated by the country/company rules, and is guided by the policy on Compensation & Benefits Management program of any company."

More than just an annual performance review, performance management is the continuous process of setting objectives, assessing progress and providing on-going coaching and feedback to ensure that employees are meeting their objectives and career goals. In this Section: An introduction to performance management Phase 1: Plan Phase 2: Monitor Phase 3: Review Developing a performance assessment form Performance management for executive directors360-degree feedback An introduction to performance management The fundamental goal of performance management is to promote and improve employee effectiveness. It is a continuous process where managers and employees work together to plan, monitor and review an employee's work objectives or goals and his or her overall contribution to the organization. What is this? Related HR Management Standard: Standard 3.4The performance of each employee is fairly assessed, at least annually, at the end of the work plan or performance period. Before you embark on the development of an effective performance management system, you should take a moment to consider whether or not your organization has HR management practices in place to support the performance management process. These include: Well designed jobs and written job descriptions Effective supervision Comprehensive employee orientation and training A positive and supportive work environment An effective performance management system will: Be job specific, covering a broad range of jobs in the organization Align with your organization’s strategic direction and culture Be practical and easy to understand and use Provide an accurate picture of each employee’s performance Include a collaborative process for setting goals and reviewing performance based on two-way communication between the employee and manager Monitor and measure results (what) and behaviors (how)Include both positive feedback for a job well done and constructive feedback when improvement is needed Provide training and development opportunities for improving performance Ensure that employee work plans support the strategic direction of the organization Establish clear communication between managers and employees about what they are expected to accomplish Provide constructive and continuous feedback on performance Identify and recognize employee accomplishments Identify areas of poor performance and establish plans for improving performance Support staff in achieving their work and career goals by identifying training needs and development opportunities Support administrative decision-making about promotions, terminations, compensation and rewards Provide legal documentation to demonstrate due diligence for legal challenges related to dismissal or vicarious liability (an employer can be held liable for the acts or omissions by its employees during the course of employment)The establishment of an effective performance management system requires time and resources and therefore, the support of the board, the executive director and other senior managers. When developing a new performance management process, an organization can strike up a committee made up of employees, managers and board members to increase buy-in, understanding and support for the process. Management support to act upon the outcomes of the performance management process is also necessary to ensure that good performance is recognized, inadequate performance results in the necessary support and/or training to improve performance and consistently poor performance results in a change of responsibilities or termination, as appropriate."

You pull out your Windows tablet in a hotel room, but the only internet available is coming through a wire on the desk. You’re a gamer and you’re tired of watching helplessly as your frozen character dies of Wi Fi-induced lag. You plug your computer into your brand new Gigabit fiber optic connection, and it’s no faster than before. A USB to Ethernet adapter can be the answer in each of these scenarios. All of them can add an Ethernet port to a supported computer that lacks one. Some offer speeds far faster than a typical wireless connection or an older network card. A wired connection is also more stable, more reliable, and more secure than a wireless connection. Plugable offers six USB-Ethernet adapters to accommodate your needs, including the USB2-E100, USB2-E1000, and USB3-E1000. There is also the USB3-HUB3ME that combines a USB 3.0 four-port hub with the chipset of the USB3-E1000, the USBC-E1000 which is the same as the USB3-E1000 but with a USB-C connector, and the USB2-OTGE100, which is electrically identical to the USB2-E100, but features a micro-USB connector especially suited for tablets and smartphones that don’t have a standard full-size USB port."

Traditionally a device with a USB port could only be a host (such as a PC) or a peripheral (such as a mouse or flash drive). The host device always provides power. However, it is useful for devices like smart phones to play a dual role - a peripheral when connected to a computer, or a host when connected to an external storage device or printer. The OTG specification, introduced in 2001, allows this by adding a 5th ID pin to mini and micro USB form factors. The host side of an OTG cable has the ID pin grounded, which indicates to the smart phone connected to it that it needs to act as a host and power the peripheral.2.5k Views · View Upvoters Thank you for your feedback!Your response is private.

USB host is a very powerful feature of recent Android based smartphones and tablets, but on many firmwares (both stock and custom) the feature is somewhat broken. For example, at launch the Galaxy Nexus told all the apps and the Market that it supported USB host, but USB host did not actually work (this was fixed in the Android 4.0.2 update). This broke several apps. That is just one example of many. There are even cases where OEMs advertise USB host support, but the device does not support it at all. It appears as if USB host support isn't tested by Google or the OEMs when they push out new firmwares and devices at all. As we cannot depend on Google or the OEMs to correctly provide information regarding USB host support, and the Android framework will regularly lie about it to both the Market as well as Android apps, this application was created so you can test your device's USB host capabilities for yourself. If you allow it, the app will also submit your results to my website, so together we can create a complete database of devices and firmwares and their USB host support. This tool may also come in handy for those porting firmwares."

"text": "Hardware USB OTG Cable ~ A must have accessory for Android devices By Jayce Ooi - January 8, 2015Still don’t have USB OTG cable? Then you are not getting all the features out of your Android devices. Of course, your Android devices need to support USB host function in order for you to use USB On-The-Go. It enables USB flash drive, mouse, keyboard, joypad or any USB peripherals that support USB OTG on your Android devices. My Samsung Galaxy S II, Amazon Kindle Fire (using custom ROM), Samsung Galaxy S III and Google Nexus 7 support USB OTG. It is ashamed that HTC One X does not support USB OTG natively.

When you’re finished, you’ll have a cable that plugs into your phone on one side and accepts a standard USB cable on the other. First, cut your 2 donor cables to expose the red, black, white, and green wires within, and strip the insulation off the tips. Match up the wire colors from both sides of your soon-to-be Frankencable and solder them together. Insulate the soldered joints from each other using shrink tubing, electrical tape, or hot glue."

"text": "Guide To Connect Keyboard/Mouse/External HDD And Pen Drives To Any Android Tablet July 16, 2013 android 43 comments Advertisements This tutorial will teach you to connect a keyboard,mouse and a usb flash drive/zip drive/zip drive or a thumb drive to your android tablet. It doesn't matter which android tablet you have, this tutorial will work on any android tablet, be it Samsung android tablets, Sony android tablets or the Google nexus 7. I have tested it on galaxy tab 3, galaxy note 3, galaxy note 10.1, galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition, galaxy S3 I717 and Sony xperial ZL. Android tablets use big batteries that are capable enough to power a USB keyboard,mouse and a usb pen drive or flash drive. By connecting a keyboard you can do the office documents work. You can create text files, word files, excel and powerpoint files by using an office suite for android like the kingsoft office. Using a keyboard will help you do the typing work very fast as you do it on a computer or a laptop. So there is no need to use the tablet's on-screen keyboard, because typing with it is very slow. You can also play emulator games on android that support gamepad with keyboard used as a gamepad. Also browsing the internet with keyboard will make typing websites' names and dropping comments very fast."

"text": "Tania Brejo, Special Projects Director at Health Tips BD 24 (2016-present)Updated Aug 22, 2017 · Author has 147 answers and 51k answer views Before we go any further, it’s important to note the difference between standards (like USB 3.1, 3.0 and USB 2.0) and ports or plugs (like USB Type-A, Type-B or Type-C). The version of the USB standard (3.1, 2.0, etc.) indicates the speed and the function of the cable. The USB Types are the shape of the cable plugs and the shape of their ports in your computer or device. There are many kinds, most of which you probably already know. USB Type-A is the familiar rectangular port. It is the largest USB port and is often found on computers and car chargers. The device that has the USB Type-A port is almost always the host device, a.k.a. the main device that is accepting other devices, providing the electricity, and controlling the data transfers. Examples of host devices with USB Type-A ports include desktop computers, laptops, gaming PCs, and even routers, gaming consoles and televisions."

( February 2014)This article needs additional citations for verification. ( December 2015)This article needs attention from an expert on the subject. ( December 2015)The USB On-The-Go logo USB On-The-Go, often abbreviated to USB OTG or just OTG, is a specification first used in late 2001 that allows USB devices, such as tablets or smartphones, to act as a host, allowing other USB devices, such as USB flash drives, digital cameras, mice or keyboards, to be attached to them. Use of USB OTG allows those devices to switch back and forth between the roles of host and device. For instance, a mobile phone may read from removable media as the host device, but present itself as a USB Mass Storage Device when connected to a host computer. In other words, USB OTG introduces the concept of a device performing both master and slave roles – whenever two USB devices are connected and one of them is a USB OTG device, they establish a communication link. The device controlling the link is called the master or host, while the other is called the slave or peripheral."

The vestibular system is responsible for your sense of balance and equilibrium. Both the cochlea (part of your hearing sensation) and the vestibular system are housed in the bony labyrinth, a structure with bony passages to secure the structures of the inner ear. Within the vestibular system, there are 3 semicircular canals and 2 otoliths (ear stone) organs known as the utricle and saccule. The three semicircular canals are known by their orientation: anterior, posterior (the longest), and lateral semicircular canals. The semicircular canals consist of three ducts arranged on three perpendicular planes, with each duct looping back at different angles. The ducts are situated at right angles from each other; similar to the way that three sides of a box come together at a corner. The semicircular canals are filled with a fluid called endolymph. When we move our bodies, the fluid inside the semicircular canals moves as well. Each of the canals has an ampulla (enlargement of the canal) which connects to the utricle."

I do diagnostics on all ages and my testing includes VNG's, ABR's, ECoch G's, VEMP's, Posturography, OAE and hearing aids. I have no administrative help other than an individual that handles scheduling. As patient volume goes up I am struggling to keep up with the paperwork and all the other duties - since I do everything from copying, filing, and ordering supplies to performing tests and contacting insurance companies. The employer looks to increase fees and volume each year, but doesn't take into account that there can be a maximum volume that a clinician can handle, or even should handle before work quality starts deteriorating. Collections (not billing) is already about three times my compensation. Adding a second audiologist is on hold until a second ENT is hired. Does anyone have a feel for a case load number both with and without administrative help? I am willing to work hard, but feel there should be a reasonable expectation as to volume."

How will my dizziness be treated?and more…Feeling unsteady or dizzy can happen due to poor circulation, vertigo, injury, infection, allergies, or neurological disease. Dizziness is treatable but it is important for your doctor to help you determine the cause so that the correct treatment is used. While each person will be affected differently, symptoms that warrant a visit to the doctor include a high fever, severe headache, convulsions or ongoing vomiting, chest pain, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, inability to move an arm or leg, a change in vision or speech, or hearing loss. What is dizziness? Dizziness can be described in many ways, such as feeling lightheaded, unsteady, or giddy. Vertigo is a type of dizziness experienced as an illusion of movement of self or the environment and is usually unpleasant. Others experience dizziness associated with motion sickness, a nauseating feeling brought on by the motion of riding in an airplane, on a roller coaster, or aboard a boat. Dizziness, vertigo, and motion sickness all relate to the sense of balance and equilibrium."

This is what happens during the calibration and validation procedure. During a calibration session, the participant fixates on 9-13 points on the screen while the eyetracker monitors the eye. After calibration is performed, the computer then “validates” the information by re-presenting the targets and determining whether its estimation of eye position is indeed close to the known position of the targets. If errors are found to be minimal, calibration is indicated as successful. Saccades VNG Tests One section of the Oculomotor battery part of a Video Nystagmo Graphy (VNG) exam. Saccades are rapid eye movements made to bring an object of interest into the center of the line of sight (foveal vision). Saccades are voluntary or reflex eye movements that help refix one’s gaze with minimal duration of retinal slip, not necessarily refocus. Articles don’t have to come into focus, they just need to be targeted by the eye. In the saccades VNG test, eye movement is measured for speed and latency."

"text": "Dizziness, Imbalance and BPPV Testing Dizziness and Imbalance Testing ENG or VNG Overview: Electronystagmography (ENG) or Videonystagmography (VNG) is a test of your balance or vestibular system that is located in your inner ears. Both tests examine responses to visual stimuli and positional changes to determine the responsiveness of the balance system in each ear. It is important to note that the vestibular system and visual system are very closely related and those two systems work together to give you your perception of balance. Changes in your vestibular system will result in compensating eye movements and thus we are able to effectively evaluate the health of your vestibular system by looking at your visual responses. The difference between ENG and VNG tests is the recording method used. ENG utilizes five electrodes placed on the skin around your eyes to record muscle responses from eye movements and VNG utilizes video cameras inside goggles you wear to directly record eye movements. VNG is the preferred test method because it gives us a clear picture of the eye movements, while ENG is a more indirect measure of eye movement. However, in rare cases VNG goggles cannot be used and therefore ENG testing will be done instead. VNG and ENG testing is mostly done sitting in a chair in a semi-dark room. We do ask that you arrive make-up free and wearing comfortable clothing."

"text": "\"Meniere's Disease Meniere’s Disease, or endolymphatic hydrops, is a disorder of the inner ear. This condition occurs because of abnormal fluctuations in the inner ear fluid called endolymph. A system of membranes, called the membranous labyrinth, contains a fluid called endolymph. This fluid bathes the inner ear balance and hearing system sensory cells and allows them to function normally. The membranes can become dilated like a balloon when pressure increases. This is called \"\"hydrops\"\". The amount of fluid is normally kept constant by altering the production and absorption of the fluid. Endolymph also contains a specific concentration of sodium, potassium, chloride, and other electrolytes. If the inner ear is damaged by disease, injury, or other causes, the volume and composition of the inner ear fluid can fluctuate with changes in the body’s fluid and electrolyte levels. This fluctuation in inner ear fluid can cause the symptoms of hydrops, including pressure or fullness of the affected ear, tinnitus, hearing loss, and imbalance or dizziness."

During a physical examination, your doctor will likely look for: Signs and symptoms of dizziness that are prompted by eye or head movements and then decrease in less than one minute Dizziness with specific eye movements that occur when you lie on your back with your head turned to one side and tipped slightly over the edge of the examination bed Involuntary movements of your eyes from side to side (nystagmus)Inability to control your eye movements If the cause of your signs and symptoms is difficult to determine, your doctor may order additional testing, such as: Electronystagmography (ENG) or videonystagmography (VNG). The purpose of these tests is to detect abnormal eye movement. ENG (which uses electrodes) or VNG (which uses small cameras) can help determine if dizziness is due to inner ear disease by measuring involuntary eye movements while your head is placed in different positions or your balance organs are stimulated with water or air. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This test uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create cross-sectional images of your head and body. Your doctor can use these images to identify and diagnose a range of conditions. MRI may be performed to rule out other possible causes of vertigo. Treatment The inner ear and canalith repositioning Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo may go away on its own within a few weeks or months. But, to help relieve BPPV sooner, your doctor, audiologist or physical therapist may treat you with a series of movements known as the canalith repositioning procedure."

"text": "\"CAUSE OF CERVICAL VERTIGOJust a perspective on your Spine-Scull connection. Numerous mechanisms have been put forth as the potential causes of cervical vertigo . Vascular compression of the vertebral arteries in the neck by the vertebrae and other structures (Sakaguchi and Kitagawa et al. 2003), especially, compression due to incongruity of the origin of the vertebral artery, an inconsistent course between the fascicles of either longus coli and bands of deep cervical fascia (Bogduk, 1986) have been shown to be associated with obstruction of blood flow while turning the neck. Spasm of the vertebral arteries can occur due to their close association with the sympathetic trunk (Bogduk, 1986). Vertebral arteries can also be damaged at the points in the upper cervical spine region, due to stressful stretching such as weight lifting that causes the vertebral artery to rupture. It is interesting to note that sensory information from the neck is combined with vestibular and visual information to determine the position of the head on the neck, and space during routine life activities. Thus, abnormal sensory inputs as in case of tight neck or tension neck might increase input from muscle proprioceptors, and cause dizziness ( Koskimies et al, 1997). Similarly, whiplash injuries can also trigger deficits in reproducing neck position and inaccuracy in assessing neutral neck position (Loudon et al, 1997). Cervical cord compression caused due to interaction of the ascending or descending tracts in the spinal cord with the cerebellum, vestibular nucleus or vestibulospinal projections is one of the chief reasons for cervical vertigo (Benito-Leon, 1996 and Brandt 1996)."

"text": "An accounting assistant is an entry level position; this individual may work with an individual accountant or as part of an accounting department in a larger corporation. It involves daily bookkeeping and file maintenance, and it may also involve assisting customers or doing other office work and file maintenance. Generally, people who want to become an accounting assistant will need to have a few years of bookkeeping experience, or a certificate in this specific field. The certificate generally only takes a few months to obtain and makes an individual eminently more likely to be hired. Some people completing lengthier accounting programs, such as the bachelor's and master's degrees, and who are generally required to become a certified public accountant, will work in the interim as accounting assistants in order to gain experience. This can look great on a resume in addition to increasing a candidates accounting skills. What an accounting assistant does on a daily basis can vary widely depending on whether the individual works for an individual accountant or for a larger company or accounting firm. Generally, it involves a combination of bookkeeping and office work. In larger corporations, an accounting assistant will frequently work in the payroll and accounts payable/receivable department. This person will need to keep accurate records of funds that go in and out of the company, and will often need to reconcile things like employee hours, vacation or sick time used, or other payments that need to be made."

"text": "\"Garnishment What is garnishment? Garnishment is a legal process by which a person to whom you owe money and who has started a lawsuit against you seeks to obtain money from your bank account or paycheck. When is garnishment possible? Before a creditor can start to garnish your wages or bank account, it must first have started a lawsuit to collect money that it claims you owe. If the creditor obtains a judgment against you—regardless of whether it’s a judgment after a hearing or trial or a default judgment—Minnesota law allows the creditor to begin the garnishment process. ( For more information on how to respond to any lawsuit that is started against you, please refer to the Attorney General publication, Answering a Lawsuit.) Minnesota law also allows a creditor to start the garnishment process without obtaining a judgment if you are served with a lawsuit that you don’t answer in a certain amount of time, or if the creditor demonstrates to the court that you intend to try to put your money out of reach of your creditors. How is garnishment started? To begin the garnishment process, a creditor sends a “Garnishment Summons” to your bank or employer (known as the “Garnishee”). Creditors can garnish both wages and bank accounts."

I already know how to market via social media, I understand the world of events and I can create content fairly easily but prior to.. oh I don’t know… a few weeks ago I knew very little about hybrid events. I would be able to tell you what a hybrid event was but very little else, now I have online event information seeping out of every pore (it isn’t very pleasant! ) The reason I can bring myself up to speed so quickly is because I have spent 10 years working as an assistant and I have become very good at developing business acumen! I also hopped from one industry to another so I had to constantly learn how these business were run, the jargon that was used and the different codes of conduct each industry sector had. I had to understand all of this to support my boss effectively. I think it is so very important for assistants to have good business acumen because without it I don’t see how we can support our managers or move up the career ladder. So what is business acumen? I really like this definition of business acumen, it is from the Financial Times Lexicon: In practice, people with business acumen are thought of as having business ‘sense’ or business ‘smarts’."

I also had classes approved and taken in 2006 for which I have now submitted a check request for and I am being told I met my maximum payout for 2006. They are quoting an IRS regualtions that states \"\"IRS regulations limit the maximum based on pay-out dates not when the course was taken\"\". So in essence I was told I lost my 2005 tuition reimbursement elgibility. This does not make any sense. Please help! I've contacted the IRS which could find no such regulation."

"text": "Mini-COBRAOn June 10, 2009, Act 2 of 2009 was signed into law to help address the growing need to extend health care options for those newly unemployed. Employees laid off by small employers are now eligible for state Mini-COBRA benefits. Prior to this, only those who worked for companies employing more than 20 people were eligible for federal COBRA benefits. These benefits extend health coverage under the employer’s insurance plan. This also means that the 65 percent reduction in COBRA premiums authorized under the new federal stimulus law will now apply to Mini-COBRA benefits for workers laid off from small businesses, for up to nine months. To learn more, choose a category: Mini-COBRA Defined Eligibility Notice Requirements Premium Assistance Timing for Electing Mini-COBRA Continuation Coverage Benefits and Payment for Mini-COBRA Continuation Coverage Mini-COBRA Extension Amendment Additional Questions Mini-COBRA Defined What is “Mini-COBRA”? Mini-COBRA, or Act 2 of 2009, is a new law in Pennsylvania that gives employees of small businesses (2-19 employees) who receive health insurance from their employers the right to purchase continuation health insurance after they leave employment. It allows eligible employees and dependents to purchase health insurance for nine months after their employment ends. Why is it called “Mini-COBRA”? Is it different from federal COBRA?"

"text": "\"Child Support Services Program What is the Division of Child Support Services? Federal law requires that all states offer and provide child support services (also known as IV-D services) to all families, not just those who receive public assistance. In Illinois, child support services are administered by the Department of Healthcare and Family Services' (hereafter called the Department) Division of Child Support Services (DCSS). DCSS helps custodial parents: Locate the parent who does not live with the child (ren) (referred to as the noncustodial parent or NCP throughout this brochure);Legally establish paternity (the child's father) if the parents are not married;Get an order for child support and/or health insurance;Collect payments on an already established child support order;Change the amount of a child support order (also known as a modification); and Collect past-due child support payments. DCSS cannot provide legal advice and cannot help parents: Get a divorce or property settlement;Get or modify (change) a custody or visitation order; or Get an order to provide college expenses. Who can get help from DCSS? DCSS will help any custodial parent (CP) get support for a child (ren) from the noncustodial parent (NCP). Custodial parents who receive Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF or public assistance) are automatically provided with child support services; CPs who receive Medical assistance from the Department of Human Services (DHS) are automatically offered child support services but must complete and return the client questionnaire to establish a child support case. TANF clients must cooperate with DCSS in order to keep receiving those benefits. If public and/or medical assistance benefits stop, DCSS will continue to provide services unless asked to stop."

"text": "By Robert Half October 16, 2017 at 9:00am To recruit and retain top talent in your accounting operations, organizations have to keep in mind that whether it's an accounts payable salary or accounts receivable salary, it has to be competitive. Why? Both demand and salaries are going up. First of all, skilled financial professionals are always in demand. As long as corporations exist, they’ll need operational support staff, whether they bring in $25 million in revenues or $250 million or more. Secondly, creating the right accounts payable salary and accounts receivable salary is often easier said than done. First, you need to understand the skills and experience required. Then, you must benchmark the compensation package offered against the norm for the industry, company size and location. You also have to take into account the value of the organization’s unique compensation elements, especially the intangible benefits, such as professional development opportunities or generous leave policies included in the package. So let’s take a look at how the compensation variables stack up in the area of operational support."

For a simpler overview of titration technique, click here. Introduction Being a citrus fruit, lemon and its juice contain citric acid as by far the dominant acid. Indeed, it is this acid that provides much of the flavour that we recognise as being distinctly lemon, and the citric acid content of a particular lemon juice can have a great impact on how that juice tastes. The citric acid content of a lemon juice can be determined through a titration of the juice. This process involves a certain volume of juice having a base of a known concentration added to it until a point is reached where all of the acid in the juice is neutralised (known as the endpoint). Citric acid is a weak acid, and is thus best titrated using a strong base, such as sodium hydroxide, with the combination of a weak acid and a strong base producing an endpoint that corresponds to the range of phenolphthalein indicator (p H range of 8.3-10). Titration with phenolphthalein indicator and titration curve From the results of the titration, the amount of citric acid in the juice can be determined. The citric acid content of lemon juice varies between lemons, with a typical concentration being about 5% by mass . Most bottled lemon juice companies standardise the citric acid content of their juice to a certain figure during the reconstitution process."

Answer by Sara Gadea Confidence votes 9Yep, because.... Sodium hydroxide (Na OH), also known as caustic soda, is a caustic metallic base. Pure sodium hydroxide is a white solid available in pellets, flakes, granules, and as a 50% saturated solution. It is hygroscopic and readily absorbs carbon dioxide from the air. Sodium hydroxide is neutralized with hydrochloric acid to produce the soluble salt sodium chloride in solution. This solution is then concentrated and crystallized to produce sodium chloride crystals. Sodium hydroxide is predominantly ionic, containing sodium cations and hydroxide anions. The hydroxide anion makes sodium hydroxide a strong base which reacts with acids to form water and the corresponding salts. Sodium hydroxide reacts with protic acids to give water and the corresponding salts."

Why do we use phenolphthalein for strong acid-weak base titration and methyl orange indicator for strong acid-strong base titration? Follow 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Because the end-points of these titrations have different p H values. A strong acid / strong base titration has an endpoint of p H 7, and an indicator that changes near 7 is useful. Phenolphthalein changes around p H 8.5 which is close enough for government work (so to speak). A strong acid - weak base titration will have an endpoint below 7, and so an indicator that changes over a range that is less than 7 should be used. Methyl orange changes around p H 4.pisgahchemist · 9 years ago2 0 Comment Asker's rating Think about what you're adding together. For the sake of simplicity, let's define an acid as anything that gives a proton to a solution, and a base as anything that gives an OH to a solution. Acids and bases are termed \"\"strong\"\" or \"\"weak\"\" based on their ability to give away their H+ or OH- groups. A strong acid gives away its H+ as soon as it comes into contact with water, and cannot take it back."

"text": "Sunday, December 9, 2001Types of titrations -Acid-base titrations, Redox titrations, Complexometric titrations Titrations can be classified by the type of reaction. Different types of titration reaction include: Acid-base titrations are based on the neutralization reaction between the analyte and an acidic or basic titrant. These most commonly use a p H indicator, a p H meter, or a conductance meter to determine the endpoint. Redox titrations are based on an oxidation-reduction reaction between the analyte and titrant. These most commonly use a potentiometer or a redox indicator to determine the endpoint. Frequently either the reactants or the titrant have a colour intense enough that an additional indicator is not needed. Complexometric titrations are based on the formation of a complex between the analyte and the titrant. The chelating agent EDTA is very commonly used to titrate metal ions in solution. These titrations generally require specialized indicators that form weaker complexes with the analyte. A common example is Eriochrome Black T for the titration of calcium and magnesium ions."

In acid-base chemistry, we often use titration to determine the p H of a certain solution. A setup for the titration of an acid with a base is shown in : Figure %: A titration setup We use this instrumentation to calculate the amount of unknown acid in the receiving flask by measuring the amount of base, or titrant, it takes to neutralize the acid. There are two major ways to know when the solution has been neutralized. The first uses a p H meter in the receiving flask adding base slowly until the p H reads exactly 7. The second method uses an indicator. An indicator is an acid or base whose conjugate acid or conjugate base has a color different from that of the original compound. The color changes when the solution contains a 1:1 mixture of the differently colored forms of the indicator. As you know from the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, the p H equals the p K a of the indicator at the endpoint of the indicator. Since we know the p H of the solution and the volume of titrant added, we can then deduce how much base was needed to neutralize the unknown sample."

This is actually more problematic than hygroscopicity, as it means that you also cannot store diluted Na OH solution (openly) as standard. Instead,2 3or3are much better alternatives (for strong acids). The acids are either a gas (HCl) or are produced from gas. I don't see how you can produce a conentration reliably enough for use as primary standard.even if you would manage to produce saturated HCl, it's much more difficult and less reliable than known alternatives (see below).but that wouldn't work e.g. for2 4as3is soluble in2 4 (Oleum).3: redox reactions are not only not particularly useful, but actually harmful as they use up acid equivalents:3 2 2also here, a solid alternative (KH-Phthalate) is available.

A primary standard should have these qualities: High purity Stability in presence of air Absence of any water of hydration which might vary with changing humidity and temperature."

When titrating we are usually given information about the volume and the concentration of the titrant solution and about volume of the titrated substance solution. Balanced reaction equation shows ratio of number of moles of reacting substances, thus to be able to deal with titration results we have to be able to convert between volumes, concentrations and numbers of moles. All these conversions are based on the definition of a molar concentration:1which can be rearranged to calculate number of moles when concentration and volume are given:2 (where n is number of moles, C concentration and V is volume). In most cases concentration is given in moles per liter of solution (molarity, denoted here as M), but sometimes it can be also given as normality. For details see molarity and normality lectures on Chem Buddy site. For example let's look at the simple acid base titration - determination of concentration of sulfuric acid with the use of Na OH solution of known concentration C Na OH. From the titration we know volume of titrant used (V Na OH ). We know that one mole of H 2 SO 4 reacts with exactly two moles of Na OH:2Na OH + H 2 SO 4 → Na 2 SO 4 + 2H 2 OAs we know that amount of substance of a given concentration in given volume of solution is C×V, and sulfuric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide in the 1:2 ratio, we can write:3There is only one unknown in this equation:4Occasionally some additional calculations are needed, as determination of concentration of titrated substance may be only a step in the assay."

"text": "Salaries for full-time, continuing faculty increased by 3.4 percent this year and 2.7 percent adjusted for inflation, according to the American Association of University Professors’ Annual Report on the Economic Status of the Profession. That’s down slightly from 2.9 percent last year, adjusted for inflation, when that figure exceeded 2 percent for the first time since the recession (although it should be noted that a one-time tweak to the way some faculty categories were reported this time around make year-over-year comparisons nominally less appropriate). But while a continued upward salary trend following the recession is promising, the report argues it’s barely noticeable in terms of spending or saving power and doesn’t reflect a systemic threat to higher education: the decline of full-time and ranked faculty positions. The above figures are for full-time faculty members, leaving out most non-tenure-track professors. Over the past four decades, the proportion of the academic labor force holding full-time tenured positions has declined by 26 percent and the share of full-time tenure-track positions has dropped by 50 percent, according to the report. “ The increasing reliance on faculty members in part-time positions has destabilized the faculty by creating an exploitative, two-tiered system; it has also eroded student retention and graduation rates at many institutions. ”Yet the report, which for the first time offers information on part-time faculty and graduate student instructor salaries, offers a solution: that colleges and universities begin to convert part-time and full-time non-tenure-track salaries to tenure-track salaries at an additional average cost of 2 percent institutional expenditures per year. AAUP argues there are in fact economic benefits to expanding tenure, such as increasing innovative risk taking in research and increasing student retention rates. “Higher education appears to be a crossroads,” reads the report. “ Administrators and faculty members must decide whether they will travel down the familiar road, investing resources to maintain the status quo, or take a road less traveled, reinvigorating academic units and institutions with longer-term strategies that produce measurable improvements in instructional quality.”"

In the last week of classes this term, I was officially informed that next term I will not be allowed to take the third part of my 100-level music theory and aural skills courses at Marylhurst due to low enrollment. This leaves me with less than two weeks to transfer into another college's 3rd installment of the equivalent class, or I will be pushed back potentially a full year to wait to take the 3rd installment in 2019. This is entirely unreasonable. There has been virtually no communication to me from the administration or my academic advisors, and while individual music and music therapy faculty members have been supportive, they have no power to change the situation. Do not put your faith in this school. I don't claim to know their full financial situation, but it is clear to me that they are happy to sacrifice their students' educations if it means saving money. I will add that I love all the music therapy and music faculty at the school. My professors, music therapy professors especially, are all very knowledgeable and excellent educators, as well as being music therapy professionals themselves with years of experience working in that field.

"text": "The term “adjunct faculty” describes university professors who are hired on a temporary track, often to teach only a course or two for a single semester or year. This sort of position is most common in the United States, but in other countries, the terms “visiting professor” or “ lecturer ” may cover roughly the same job. Adjuncts typically teach reduced course loads as compared to their more permanent peers, and they also have little if any job security. They are usually hired to fulfill specific university needs, like temporary boosts in enrollments or student interest in particular electives, and as such, their contracts are designed to be flexible and are subject to change at any time. Differences Between Adjunct and Tenured Faculty American universities typically hire faculty in two “tiers” based on permanency. “ Tenure-track” professors are academics who are or who hope to become permanent members of a certain department’s teaching team. They usually have or are working towards contracts that make it very difficult for them to be fired or let go. This is often seen as the best sort of position to have, as it allows the faculty member leeway when it comes to setting a curriculum and engaging in independent research. Adjunct and other temporary teaching staff make up the second tier. Faculty in this category are usually hired on a very loose basis, often just to cover a single lecture or to teach one particular subject."

Becoming a teacher can be rigorous and time-consuming, but at the college level, part-time teaching is a realistic option for some professionals. Postsecondary schools are often willing to be flexible about academic credentials in return for real-world expertise. The need for part-time professors, known as adjuncts, is high right now. Education is one of the few areas of the economy that has been expanding, partly because so many of the unemployed are returning to school. You may not want to pursue teaching part time, however, if your motivation is mainly financial. The pay for adjunct professors is usually low, and the work can be challenging. Still, the nonmonetary rewards that come with teaching can be substantial. Often, people need a minimum of a master’s degree to work as adjunct professors, whether at two- or four-year colleges."

It is typically a moment of mutual giddiness. The department heads are excited at the prospect of a terrific new colleague; the job applicants now know that their immediate future is assured.

Different styles of dance such as ballet, jazz or modern dance are taught by professors, assistant professors and adjunct faculty, but on average they are paid less than instructors with the same title teaching other subjects. Dance Faculty Positions Not all colleges have a dance program, but those that do organize it much like their other academic programs. For example, the School of Dance at Dean College in Massachusetts includes a dean and professor of dance, an associate professor of dance who teaches ballet, an assistant professor who teaches modern dance, and a number of part-time or adjunct instructors who teach tap, jazz, ballet, dance composition, rhythmic analysis and other topics. One of the adjunct instructors also provides accompaniment services. Smaller Programs Smaller dance programs may not employ as many staff members, but the organization of the dance program remains similar. For example, Meredith College in North Carolina employs three dance professors and one adjunct instructor. Coursework includes subjects such as modern technique of dance, movement structure, integrating mind and body, pedagogy or teaching theory, history of dance, ballet, improvisation, choreography, technical production, dance repertory and women's studies issues in dance. Because of the smaller size of the dance program at this school, each professor handles several subjects. Salaries According to the Chronicle of Higher Education, the national average salary of a professor teaching visual or performing arts at a four-year university or college during the 2010-2011 school year was $79,768."

When we are in a college, we often come across designations of teachers that are very confusing. There are lecturers, assistant professors, associate professors, adjunct professors, and of course there are professors. Students rarely know the difference between these designations as after all, what they are concerned with studies. Though adjunct and associate professors perform nearly same duties, there are differences that this article will highlight. In US, anyone desirous of becoming a teacher at college level has to first complete his research and then pass doctoral level exam to be eligible for a teaching post. But sometimes, colleges or Universities offer jobs to people who are yet to complete their doctorate. Such people, instead of getting regular designations are called instructors. It is only when they have completed their doctorate that they can start their career towards becoming a professor. There are differences in a post with tenure from a post without tenure."

"text": "An adjunct professor is a part-time professor who is hired on a contractual basis rather than being given tenure and a permanent position. Many universities hire large numbers of adjunct faculty members because they are flexible and cheaper to maintain than traditional full-time faculty members. Just like regular faculty members, adjunct professors must fulfill basic educational requirements before they can teach, and many of them are very well-educated, talented people. The use of adjunct professor positions has grown in many universities in response to decreased funding, which forces these schools to make choices that are sometimes difficult. If the choice is between hiring adjunct professors and closing a program, many schools consider it better to hire adjunct professors. Advantages for Schools For a university, there are many advantages of hiring adjunct professors. They are viewed as temporary, so a university might hire a part-timer for a single semester to expand its course offerings or to meet student demand for a program that does not have a large enough staff. An adjunct professor does not have tenure or other rights, so a university also can easily get rid of one who does not perform to the university's standard — all the school has to do is decline to renew the adjunct professor's contract. In addition to being essentially disposable in the eyes of many educational institutions, adjunct faculty members also are much less costly to hire. They are not entitled to benefits such as healthcare and retirement plans, and they usually are not given offices."

Universities in the US have gotten more expensive due to several factors: Reduced state funding for public institutions. It used to be that an student could go to a same-state public university, like UMass Amherst, UC Berkeley or City University of New York, and pay little to nothing in tuition, fees and so on. You could work a part-time job at minimum wage and afford to go to college, incuding room and board. However, cash-starved states have slashed their higher education budgets. Now, even community colleges cost a couple thousand dollars per semester. Major capital improvements. There are a lot of shiny new buildings on many college campuses."

Economists often calculate the income disparities between companies’ CEOs and their average workers with ratios, expressing concern when the gaps grow too wide. For example, a recent report from Glassdoor, a labor-market research firm, found that Chipotle CEO Steve Ellis earned $29 million total in 2014, while the median worker serving those yummy burrito bowls earned just $19,000. That would make the median CEO-to-worker pay ratio at Chipotle 1,522 to one. Data on the salaries of college faculty and administrators is scattered and incomplete, making apples-to-apples comparisons difficult. Still, it’s possible to get a rough sense of how they compare—an important indication of a given higher-education institution’s fiscal priorities—based on the same calculation. While income inequality in higher education isn’t as high as Chipotle, it does rival that of other publicly traded corporations, including Nike, IBM, and Motorola. State schools with the highest-paid presidents seem to be offsetting their administrative bloat with cheaper labor."

An introduction to administrative and academic ranks March 11, 2013 by John Borwick In Higher Education 3 Comments This article is about the organizational titles you tend to find in higher education, particularly in four-year colleges and universities in the United States. People working in higher education rarely have a formal introduction to these types of positions and how they work together. Higher education can be intimidating, and the moment you’re hired you’re expected to know what a Provost does, what the Board of Trustees is, and whether the Associate or Assistant Vice-President is a higher rank. The purpose of this article is to introduce common terms used for the administrative and academic ranks in higher education. Colleges vs. Universities The term “university” refers to an institution with more than one college: for example, an undergraduate and a graduate college. A college tends to focus less on research, and more on teaching. Universities tend to focus on teaching and research. “ Land grant” institutions focus on teaching, research, and service to the community. Many colleges have turned into universities as they’ve expanded."

By Zac Santanello on October 15, 2012Most students cannot tell if the instructor teaching their class is a full-time professor who has worked at the college for years, or a part-time professor who comes in once a week to teach a single class. In fact, part-time instructors also known as adjuncts, out number full-timers almost four to one at Mercer. There are currently 413 adjunct professors and 125 full-time professors according to the college’s Institutional Research office. What does this mean for student success? More than you might think. In an article entitled “ Effects of Part-Time Faculty Employment on Community College Graduation Rates ” that appeared in the Journal of Higher Education, published in November, 2006, the author, researcher Daniel Jacoby writes: “The principal finding of this study is that community college graduation rates decrease as the proportion of part-time faculty employed increases. The finding is corroborated using three different measures of graduation rates. ”Other researchers have corroborated Jacoby’s findings, but other current literature suggests that there is another side to the story.

Everyone preparing to file for bankruptcy wants to know the cost. After all, bankruptcy usually comes at a time when money is tight. Below, we’ll talk about filing fees, attorney fees, the cost of filing on your own versus filing with an attorney, and what your expected total bankruptcy cost might be. Filing Fees and Required Courses First off, bankruptcy filers must pay a filing fee. For a Chapter 7 case, the fee is $335. For a Chapter 13 case, the fee is $310. The Bankruptcy Trustee may charge a fee of $15 to $20 when you file, as well. You may request to pay the filing fees in installments; most courts will allow it if you can show it would be a financial hardship to pay all at once."

The following is designed to assist the general public by providing basic answers to some of the most commonly asked questions. For additional information, please view the Court's General Information. What is Bankruptcy? Bankruptcy is a legal process which allows a person (a \"\"Debtor\"\"), who owes more money than he or she can currently repay, to either (1) repay a portion of the money over time under Chapter 11, 12, or 13, or (2) have the entire debt forgiven (\"\"discharged\"\") under chapter 7. Under chapter 7, a Debtor may be required to surrender assets to a trustee. Bankruptcy is also available to businesses, corporations, and partnerships. Even municipal governments can file bankruptcy (under Chapter 9). After a Debtor has filed a case (i.e., \"\"petition\"\"), creditors must stop all collection efforts against the Debtor for a period of time, unless they get permission from the bankruptcy court to continue. This protection from collection efforts is referred to as the \"\"automatic stay.\"\""

An Adversary Proceeding is Different From the Main Bankruptcy Case - The main bankruptcy case involves a debtor and the creditors of that debtor, and the main bankruptcy case has its own separate electronic docket and case number. An \"\"Adversary Proceeding\"\" in bankruptcy court has the same meaning as a lawsuit in other courts. This means that one or more \"\"plaintiff (s)\"\" file a \"\"complaint\"\" against one or more \"\"defendant (s).\"\" In many situations an adversary proceeding is required if a plaintiff wants to obtain a particular type of relief. Consult Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure Rule 7001 to determine if a particular type of relief requires an adversary proceeding. When an adversary proceeding is commenced, the clerk's office starts a separate electronic docket to record all activity in the adversary proceeding. Each adversary proceeding has its own \"\"adversary number\"\" which can be found on the first page of the complaint, right below the main bankruptcy case number. An example is 2: AP:12-01501-VZ."

"text": "\"How Creditors Can Fight Preference Claims July 9, 2014, 12:38 PM EDTLaw360, New York (July 9, 2014, 12:38 PM EDT) --Trey Monsour Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code governs the avoidance of certain transfers. This article will discuss preferences, which are a statutory cause of action arising under Section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code. Preference targets are creditors such as trade creditors who did business on an unsecured basis with a troubled company that ultimately filed for bankruptcy. The look-back period is generally 90 days from the petition date for noninsider creditors and one year for insiders. While the preference provisions under the Bankruptcy Code are intended to ensure that all creditors receive an equitable pro rata share of the debtor's assets, it is a poison pill for a trade creditor that gets “stiffed” by a debtor and then has to pay the debtor back the money it received during the prepetition preference period. Creditors that are targeted most often are those that tried to give the debtor a break or breathing room to try to pay its debts without the necessity of filing bankruptcy. The statutory scheme poses a significant risk for a creditor doing business with a financially distressed entity. Preference liability is predicated upon a creditor's improvement of position during the 90-days preceding a bankruptcy filing. As a result, fully secured creditors generally are less worried about preference risk because prepetition payments do not provide secured creditors with a greater distribution than they would receive upon liquidation of the collateral. However, undersecured creditors (those with collateral of a value less than the amount of the debt) and unsecured creditors must be aware of preference risks because prepetition payments within the preference period would improve those parties’ distributions upon liquidation."

S. C. §§ 109 (g), 362 (d)- (e). In addition, no individual may be a debtor under chapter 11 or any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code unless he or she has, within 180 days before filing, received credit counseling from an approved credit counseling agency either in an individual or group briefing. 11 U. S. C. §§ 109, 111. There are exceptions in emergency situations or where the U. S. trustee (or bankruptcy administrator) has determined that there are insufficient approved agencies to provide the required counseling. If a debt management plan is developed during required credit counseling, it must be filed with the court. How Chapter 11 Works A chapter 11 case begins with the filing of a petition with the bankruptcy court serving the area where the debtor has a domicile or residence. A petition may be a voluntary petition, which is filed by the debtor, or it may be an involuntary petition, which is filed by creditors that meet certain requirements. 11 U. S. C. §§ 301, 303."

This usually occurs in a court house or the trustee’s office. This is required no matter what Chapter of the Bankruptcy Code you file under. Chances are that you will not get to see a judge. You are welcome to attend any bankruptcy court proceeding at any time. Notice of First Meeting of Creditors You should expect to get a Notice of Commencement of Case from the Court about a week after you file. This sets the date and time for the first meeting of creditors. This is where the trustee and your creditors get to ask you questions under oath. It is also called a 341 (a) meeting since that is the section of the Bankruptcy Law that requires this ‘question and answer’ session."

"text": "Are Judges Reluctant to Order Mental Health Evaluations? Not only criminal defendants need mental health assessment Posted Apr 26, 2012SHARETWEETEMAILMOREIn murder cases we often hear a defendant plead “insanity,” and mental evaluation is ordered to assess a defendant’s ability to withstand trial. In divorce and child custody cases, one or both parents might be ordered to undergo mental health evaluation to assess their suitability for child custody, or even visitation. Even in animal hoarding cases, psych evaluations are sometimes ordered by the Court. But mental illness does not occur only in criminal defendants, or when children and/or animals are involved. Civil court defendants, debtors and others brought before the court might also suffer from mental disorders such as PTSD, Borderline Personality Disorder, Bipolar Disorder and more, but it seems that judges are resistant/reluctant to order mental health evaluations in civil cases. This is a concern for many, including loved ones of those who have these disorders, and also many of our veterans who fight for better PTSD (and other) mental health services and treatment. “The prevalence of serious mental illnesses among all people entering jails is estimated to be 16.9 percent,” according to the Consensus Project.org. But even in criminal cases, many states—such as Louisiana and Ohio—are in crisis and have cut funding for mental health beds and or clinicians, and it’s stated that there is “a reluctance on the part of local judges to order mental health evaluations for defendants.”“ Mental Health Courts ” have been created to help channel those of concern into the system; these MHCs combine court supervision with community-based mental treatment, while avoiding expensive court, or jailhouse, costs."

If you need legal advice, contact a lawyer (See our National Lawyer State Bar List ). ( Especially for bankruptcy issues.) Bankruptcy (BK) is a set of federal laws. These laws allow (and sometimes help force) debtors to petition and be declared (judged) insolvent. This means the debtor owes more than they have the ability to repay, and bankruptcy gives the debtor a fresh start, with relief of most or all of their debts. In BK, Any (known and non-exempt) property of the debtor is turned over to a BK Trustee. After court proceedings and hearings, the Trustee distributes shares of the debtor's non-exempt assets (if any) to the debtor's creditors. The most important thing a declaration (an attempt) of bankruptcy does is to create an automatic stay."

Thank you for doing so and I encourage you to continue to do so, as I would prefer to write about the interests that you have. A frequently asked question is what is receivership and upon notification what should we do? A receiver is a person appointed by the court to take possession and charge of designated assets or property and to administer them in accordance with court directives. Receivership can be an alternative to bankruptcy for the liquidation of assets of a corporation, however debt can only be discharged through bankruptcy. Receivership can be administered through both the federal and state courts. Receivership does not apply to individuals or general partnerships. In the majority of states receivership cannot be ordered unless an adversarial proceeding has already commenced (i.e. lawsuit) and the court has determined that receivership is necessary and proper. A receivership is not always utilized to liquidate assets of corporations."

"text": "\"Security Interests in Proceeds of Collateral Cindy J. Chernuchin About the Authors: Cindy J. Chernuchin is special counsel at Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP in New York City. This article discusses two recent bankruptcy cases that determine whether the secured party's security interest attaches to assets acquired after the debtor files for bankruptcy as proceeds of a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) license if the security interest did not attach to the underlying FCC license. Whether an asset is after-acquired collateral or proceeds of collateral is critical to both decisions. Section 552 (a) of the U. S. Bankruptcy Code (Code) limits the secured party's lien generally to the collateral in existence on the petition date. It prevents the grant of a security interest in after-acquired property from attaching to property acquired after the bankruptcy is filed. However, section 552 (b) provides that if the postpetition property is proceeds of the secured party's prepetition collateral, then the secured party's lien will attach to the postpetition property. This article concludes with \"\"best practices\"\" for drafting a security agreement as learned from these cases. But first, to fully understand these cases, we will review the meaning of \"\"proceeds,\"\" including identification, attachment, and perfection of a security interest in proceeds, and the anti-assignment override provisions of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC). What are Proceeds? Section 9-102 (a) (64) of the UCC provides that proceeds are whatever is received upon the sale, lease, license, exchange, or other disposition or collection of, or distribution on account of, collateral."

"text": "Pricing of Franchises: How to Charge for Fees, Area Development Fees, etc Establishing Service and Continuing Other Fees Franchisors need to examine the cost benefit relationship of requiring frequent franchisee remittances vs. working capital benefits. While it is certainly feasible with electronic transfer to collect fees, even on a daily basis, the transaction costs can be prohibitive.1. INTRODUCTIONIn a franchise system, establishing the fees represents an inherent weakness to the franchising strategy, since the business of the Franchisor is inelastic. All businesses continually make permanent or temporary adjustments to the selling price they charge to their customers. They alter their products, merchandising, or service mix in an effort to improve their financial performance. They work with suppliers to reduce their raw material costs and manage internal expenditures for the same reason. These are standard and routine business strategies. To a great extent, these same strategies are unavailable to franchisors. Once franchise fees, royalty rates, or other fees are established, the franchisor is limited to the adjustments they can make, except with respect to their future franchisees, franchisees that sign successor agreements, or after long and expensive negotiations with their existing franchisees. The same holds true for the services franchisors provide to their franchisees."

Business is also an activity. One entity (e.g., a person, an organization) “does business” with another when it exchanges a good or service for valuable consideration. Business ethics can thus be understood as the study of the ethical dimensions of productive organizations and commercial activities. This includes ethical analyses of the production, distribution, marketing, sale, and consumption of goods and services (see also Donaldson & Walsh 2015). Questions in business ethics are important and relevant to everyone. This is because almost all of us “do business”—i.e., engage in a commercial transaction—almost every day. Moreover, many of us spend a major portion of our lives engaged in, or preparing to engage in, productive activity, on our own or as part of productive organizations.

This guide provides a discussion of the advantages/disadvantages of selling on consignment basis and general comments about how to use consignment as an effective selling tool for the small business operation. What happens to a manufacturer who has developed a new consumer product that is thought to be a best seller, but no retailer or wholesaler is willing to invest enough capital to stock a small number of the items in inventory? What happens to a manufacturer who is told that the seasonal product he or she is trying to sell is such a capital risk that there is probably no chance that it will make the retail shelves during that Christmas season? How can manufacturers in these cases and similar cases make the products and terms of sale sufficiently attractive to get the product on retail shelves for exposure to the buying market? Perhaps through the use of consignment sales. Selling goods on consignment is described as a situation whereby goods are shipped to a dealer who pays you, the consignor, only for the merchandise which sells. The dealer, referred to as the consignee, has the right to return to you the merchandise which does not sell and without obligation. As you can see, this may not be an ideal arrangement.

Evidences suggest that the Romans practiced advertising; but the earliest indication of its use in this country dates back to the middle Ages, when the use of the surname indicated a man’s occupation. The next stage in the evolution of advertising was the use of signs as a visual expression of the tradesman’s function and a means of locating the source of goods. This method is still in common use. The seller in primitive times relied upon his loud voice to attract attention and inform consumers of the availability of his services. If there were many competitors, he relied upon his own personal magnetism to attract attention to his merchandise. Often it became necessary for him to resort to persuasion to pinpoint the advantages of his products. Thus, the seller was doing the complete promotion job himself. Development of retail stores, made the traders to be more concerned about attracting business. Informing customers of the availability of supplies was highly important."

"text": "View more from the January–February 2000 Issue Explore the Archive Loading... Building and properly managing brand equity has become a priority for companies of all sizes, in all types of industries, in all types of markets. After all, from strong brand equity flow customer loyalty and profits. The rewards of having a strong brand are clear. The problem is, few managers are able to step back and assess their brand’s particular strengths and weaknesses objectively. Most have a good sense of one or two areas in which their brand may excel or may need help. But if pressed, many (understandably) would find it difficult even to identify all of the factors they should be considering. When you’re immersed in the day-to-day management of a brand, it’s not easy to keep in perspective all the parts that affect the whole. In this article, I’ll identify the ten characteristics that the world’s strongest brands share and construct a brand report card—a systematic way for managers to think about how to grade their brand’s performance for each of those characteristics. The report card can help you identify areas that need improvement, recognize areas in which your brand is strong, and learn more about how your particular brand is configured. Constructing similar report cards for your competitors can give you a clearer picture of their strengths and weaknesses."

"text": "An aeronautical engineer oversees the research and development of different types of aircraft. He or she works with advanced computer software to design new crafts, create detailed schematics, and conduct simulated test runs. The engineer also supervises workers as they build prototypes and models, ensuring that all elements are constructed exactly to specifications. Aeronautical engineers work in many different settings, including military agencies, government air and space programs, and private aircraft manufacturing plants. Many aeronautical engineers specialize by working with a certain type of aircraft or a particular internal system. Some professionals design commercial jetliners, while others conceive plans for new helicopters and passenger planes. A military aeronautical engineer may develop manned or unmanned planes designed for combat, special operations, or recovery missions. All types of aircraft are comprised of complex electrical and mechanical systems, and it is common for an engineer to work exclusively with engines, navigation boards, or propulsion systems. An aeronautical engineer who is in charge of developing a new craft generally begins the process by researching existing crafts and technologies. He or she identifies desirable features to incorporate into the new design and analyzes areas that can be improved."

A former high school teacher with a college degree in mathematics, she arrived the day after Labor Day 1935 to join four other women in Langley’s first “Computer Pool.” Before the development of electronic computers, the term “computer” referred to people, not machines. It was a job title, designating someone who performed mathematical equations and calculations by hand. Over the next thirty years, hundreds of women, most with degrees in math or other sciences would join those first five computers at Langley. Tucker herself helped recruit many of them, traveling to universities and women’s colleges across the South. By 1946, as the overall supervisor for Computing, Tucker presided over a vastly expanded department that had trained about 400 women and placed them in sections across the facility. [ 2] Reading, calculating and plotting data from tests in Langley’s wind tunnels and research divisions, human computers played an integral role in both aeronautical and aerospace research at the lab from the mid-1930s into the 1970s, helping it keep pace with the high output demanded by World War II and the early space race. Along with their contribution to the field, Langley’s computers also stood out for another reason: they were all women. At the time Tucker was hired, Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory (LMAL) was the main research center for the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA, the precursor to NASA)."

He is recognized for his contributions to a series of important aircraft designs, most notably the Lockheed U-2 and SR-71 Blackbird. Besides the first production aircraft to exceed Mach 3, he also produced the first fighter capable of Mach 2, the United States' first operational jet fighter, as well as the first U. S. fighter to exceed 400 mph, and many other contributions to a large number of aircraft. [ 1] As a member and first team leader of the Lockheed Skunk Works, Johnson worked for more than four decades and is said to have been an \"\"organizing genius\"\". [ 2] He played a leading role in the design of over forty aircraft, including several honored with the prestigious Collier Trophy, acquiring a reputation as one of the most talented and prolific aircraft design engineers in the history of aviation. In 2003, as part of its commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the Wright Brothers' flight, Aviation Week & Space Technology ranked Johnson 8th on its list of the top 100 \"\"most important, most interesting, and most influential people\"\" in the first century of aerospace. [ 3] Hall Hibbard, Johnson's Lockheed boss, referring to Johnson's Swedish ancestry once remarked to Ben Rich: \"\"That damned Swede can actually see air.\"\" [ 1] [4]Johnson also helped to design the Lockheed AQM-60 Kingfisher a decade before the famous SR-71. The Kingfisher was a highly successful single-engine Mach 4.3-capable ramjet aircraft composed mainly of steel, which was used to test American air defenses against nuclear missiles. The information and experience Johnson gained was later used to produce the A-12 spy plane for the Central Intelligence Agency."

By Jim Lucas, Live Science Contributor | September 4, 2014 08:16pm ETMOREAerospace engineering includes the design of jet engines. Credit: yuyangc | Shutterstock Aerospace engineering deals with designing and building machines that fly. It is one of the newest branches of engineering, and began in the 19th century with the first experiments in powered flight. As technology progressed, two specialties emerged; aeronautical engineering, which involves designing aircraft such as powered lighter-than-air craft, gliders, fixed-wing airplanes and jets, autogyros, and helicopters; and astronautical engineering, which focuses on the design and development of spacecraft. In other words, aeronautical engineers are primarily involved in designing aircraft that fly within Earth's atmosphere, while astronautical engineers work with the science and technology of spacecraft that fly outside Earth's atmosphere, according to the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). History of aerospace engineering Early innovators of powered, lighter-than-air craft included Jules Henri Giffard, who in 1852 flew the first steerable steam-powered airship; Charles Renard and Arthur Constantin Krebs, who in 1884 flew the first powered airship to return to its starting point; and Ferdinand von Zeppelin who built and flew the first rigid airship, in 1900. Much of the early work leading to the airplane involved gliders, and the 19th century saw dozens of glider experiments. Sir George Cayley expressed the principles of heavier-than-air flight starting in 1804, and in 1856, Jean-Marie Le Bris flew the first manned glider that climbed higher than its launch point. Le Bris did this by having a horse tow the glider along a beach."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Astronomy & Space Astronomy degrees?how would you be able to get any degree in astronomy? anything that has to do with space or space travel or space studies I'm only 13 but my cousin says I should start researching because it is a hard feild to get into if you don't know anything1 following 8 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Astronomy is a bit of a specialization. I will discuss aerospace later. For astronomy I highly recommend getting your undergraduate degree in physics, or at least working a great deal of physics courses into your program (at least receiving a minor). Applied math would be OK too if you want to go into theory/computer modeling, but again make sure you get some physics in there. That does not mean you can't take a bunch of astronomy courses including getting a minor or a double major as you work towards the applied math or physics degree. If Astronomy is to be your career path, you should save the final specialization for graduate school. Also note that a masters degree will not likely permit you to get fudning for your own research programs, however it could be useful to get involved with someone elses as a technician. A Ph D is really the way to go if you a career path in the field. There is no telling what the job market will be like in astronomy by the time you are ready to enter it in about 13 years."

Aeronautics (from the ancient Greek words ὰήρ āēr, which means \"\"air\"\", and ναυτική nautikē which means \"\"navigation\"\", i.e. \"\"navigation into the air\"\") is the science or art involved with the study, design, and manufacturing of air flight capable machines, and the techniques of operating aircraft and rockets within the atmosphere. The British Royal Aeronautical Society identifies the aspects of \"\"aeronautical Art, Science and Engineering\"\" and \"\"the profession of Aeronautics (which expression includes Astronautics).\"\" [ 1]While the term originally referred solely to operating the aircraft, it has since been expanded to include technology, business, and other aspects related to aircraft.

"text": "Aggravated Assault Aggravated assault is an assault which criminal laws punish more severely due to its seriousness. Factors which raise an assault to an aggravated assault typically include the use of a weapon, the status of the victim, the intent of the perpetrator, and the degree of injury caused. Assaults that happen in the victim's home can also qualify as an aggravated assault. States classify certain assaults as aggravated assault under their criminal codes. They may also use more specific names such as assault with a deadly weapon. Often, aggravated assaults qualify as felonies, while simple assaults can be misdemeanors. Many states have multiple degrees of criminal charges for aggravated assault. Assault with a Deadly Weapon Use of a deadly weapon during an assault constitutes aggravated assault. This applies whether or not the weapon causes physical injury to anyone. Basic assault does not require physical harm, but rather that the perpetrator behaves in a way intended to put someone in reasonable fear for their safety."

"text": "\"Share0Share0Tweet0+10Share What are the Charges for Aggravated Assault? What are the Charges for Aggravated Assault? Share Under the common practices of American assault law, \"\"simple\"\" charges of assault, which do not meet the requirements for severity to merit accusations of \"\"aggravated assault\"\", are likely to be tried only as misdemeanors. Exceptions may, however, be made in cases involving police officers, for instance. In most American states, on the other hand, aggravated assault can be tried as a felony. The severity with which specific cases are met by assault law is fitted to the circumstances of the action, such as the seriousness of the injuries suffered by the victim, the likely or stated effect of the attack as expressed by the actor, and the method through which the assault takes place. An assault which is implemented with a firearm or some other weapon likely to cause serious injury to the victim, for instance, is usually considered a felony assault. The process of determining what legal fate a defendant meets under assault law, as participated in by both prosecutors and defense attorneys, thus refers to the various aspects of a case, including the context it arises from, the means used to realize it, and the consequences stemming from it. Misdemeanors are typically punished with short terms in jails, local institutions for incarceration which are distinguished under law from prisons, the State institutions with which they are commonly conflated in everyday speech. They do not result in a loss of civil rights, as may result from felony charges, but rather a potential loss of privileges."

"text": "DUI with Injuries in Pennsylvania What Happens if You Are Arrested for a DUI after a Motor Vehicle Accident with Injuries If you were arrested for a DUI in PA after an auto accident with injuries, you could face very different sentencing possibilities than being charged with a misdemeanor DUI. It is important that you contact an experienced DUI defense attorney who will listen to the details of your case and help build a strong defense. Penalties for DUI accidents with injuries (other than to the driver) in Pennsylvania are more severe than a misdemeanor DUI and, if you are convicted, a felony will be on your permanent record. Depending on the degree of the injuries, you may be charged with aggravated assault or, if there are deaths involved, you could be charged with homicide. Charges You May Face – DUI with Injuries If you were involved in an accident with injuries and were charged with a DUI you could face any of the following charges: Simple assault Recklessly endangering another person Aggravated assault Homicide Aggravated Assault in conjunction with a DUI in PAYou could be charged with aggravated assault after an auto accident in which any person other than the intoxicated driver receives serious bodily injury. The PA Vehicle Code Section 3735.1 deems a “serious bodily injury” as “any bodily injury which creates a substantial risk of death or which causes serious, permanent disfigurement or protracted loss or impairment of the function of any bodily member or organ. ”A convicted aggravated assault with a DUI in PA is a second-degree felony. In Pennsylvania a maximum sentence if convicted can include ten years in jail and a maximum $25,000 fine. A person must first be found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of driving under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances in order to be found guilty of aggravated assault. This means the person has to be proven guilty of driving, operating or having physical control of a vehicle, AND they had to have consumed enough alcohol to render them incapable of driving safely OR their blood alcohol content (BAC) level was at least .08% within two hours after the accident OR they had a controlled substance in their blood stream."

"text": "What is an assault? An assault is: (1) an unlawful attempt, coupled with apparent ability, to commit a violent injury on the person of another; or (2) an intentional, unlawful threat by word or act to do violence to the person of another, coupled with an apparent ability to do so, and doing some act which creates a well-founded fear in such other person that such violence is imminent. What is the punishment? An assault is punishable by a fine of up to one thousand dollars ($1,000), or by imprisonment in the county jail for up to three (3) months, or by both a fine and imprisonment. What is the difference between an assault and a battery? An assault is different from a battery because it does not involve the touching of another person. It involves someone doing an act that causes fear in the other person. An example would be a person shaking their fist at another person and telling that person he is “going to beat” them up. With an assault, the fear that is caused is what the law intends to punish. What is a battery?"

Illinois Assault – Laws & Penalties In the overwhelming majority of cases, assault is considered a Class C misdemeanor. This means that you could spend up to 30 days in jail for a conviction and be ordered to pay up to $1,500 in fines. You may be facing this charge if there is evidence that you engaged in conduct which placed someone in fear of harm. You may have verbally threatened them or even physically chased them with fists clenched. You don’t have to physically touch or hurt anyone to face this assault charge."

"text": "Humanities ›Issues What Is the Crime of Assault? Assault Definitions Share Flipboard Email Print Rapid Eye / Getty Imagesby Charles Montaldo Updated March 26, 2017Like many crimes, the exact definition of assault is defined by each state, however, in all states, it is considered an act of violence. Generally, assault is defined as any intentional act that causes a person to become fearful of imminent bodily harm. Fear of imminent bodily harm means being fearful of immediate bodily harm. The purpose of assault laws is to deter aggressive behavior that could lead to physical harm. It is generally a misdemeanor if it does not involve the threat of death or serious injury. Genuine and Reasonable Fear The fear of being physically injured must be genuine and something most reasonable people would experience under the same circumstances. It does not require that physical contact actually occurs. Example; In a case of road rage, if a person is acting aggressively toward another driver and exits their car with clenched fists, yelling that they are going to beat up the other driver, then charges of misdemeanor assault would likely be appropriate. Under this type of situation, most reasonable people would become fearful that the guy was about to come after them and cause them to be physically harmed."

Previous Post | Next Post What Is the Difference Between Simple Assault and Aggravated Assault in Pennsylvania? Posted By Michael Parkinson || 24-Jan-2013A question I am asked often is, “What Is the Difference Between Simple Assault and Aggravated Assault in Pennsylvania?”In Pennsylvania, assault is one of the most frequently charged crimes. When most people hear the term “assault,” they think of fist fights between two people, or possibly incidents of domestic violence involving married people, couples dating, or family members. While these are all examples of assaults, legally “assault” encompasses a much wider spectrum of interactions between people. The consequences of a conviction for an assault offense vary as widely as the possible types of offense: penalties can range from probation to up to forty years in jail. Simple Assault in Philadelphia Perhaps the most commonly charged assault crime is simple assault. Simple assault is defined in Pennsylvania when bodily injury is:attempted or caused intentionally or recklessly;caused due to negligence with a deadly weapon;alluded to by physical menace and the victim feels fear of imminent injury; or,attempted or by concealing a hypodermic needle on one’s person and penetrating a law enforcement officer or employee during the course of an arrest or any search of the person. Simple assault is usually graded as a misdemeanor of the second degree which carries a possible sentence of up to two years in prison and a fine of up to $5000. If a simple assault is committed by someone who is twenty-one or older and the victim is twelve or younger, the crime becomes a misdemeanor of the first degree."

"text": "What Happens When a Juvenile is Charged with a Felony? In the state of Utah, people under age 18 are considered minors or juveniles. Most of the time, juveniles go through civil rather than criminal court systems, face more lenient penalties than adult defendants, and have differently structured hearings with a greater degree of privacy and confidentiality. However, when the charge involves a serious felony like murder or sexual assault, even very young teenagers can be tried as adults. In this sort of situation, the legal process is very different than it would be if the juvenile was charged with a misdemeanor, such as shoplifting or underage drinking. In this article, Utah juvenile crimes attorney Darwin Overson talks about what to expect if your child is arrested for a felony in Utah. Common Misdemeanors Juveniles Get Arrested For in Salt Lake City Most juvenile crimes involve misdemeanors and infractions. Some common examples of misdemeanor crimes minors are frequently charged with include: Attempted Purchase of Alcohol Attempted Purchase of Cigarettes Curfew Violations Graffiti Vandalism Hazing in Utah Impaired Driving Intoxicated Driving/DUI (Driving Under the Influence)Possession of Alcohol Possession of Drug Paraphernalia Public Intoxication Shoplifting (Retail Theft)Simple Assault Simple Possession of Marijuana Trespassing in Utah Underage Drinking or Possession of Alcohol Using a Fake IDThese types of offenses are heard in juvenile court in Salt Lake County, or the county where the alleged crime occurred. If the juvenile admits guilt or is found guilty, sentencing is typically limited to probation, fines, community service, and rehabilitation or counseling where appropriate. The juvenile will also receive a record, though its contents may be sealed (with some exceptions for courts and law enforcement) through a process known as expungement."

"text": "\"California Assault and Battery Laws Overview of California Assault and Battery Law While \"\"assault and battery\"\" is a commonly-heard phrase, assault and battery are separate crimes. As in other states, California assault and battery laws are found in criminal as well as civil law (where it is considered an \"\" intentional tort \"\"). The elements of both civil assault and civil battery are very similar to the elements of criminal assault and battery discussed in more detail below. California's assault and battery laws can be found in Chapter 9 of the California Penal Code. The California Penal Code defines assault as an \"\"unlawful attempt\"\" to cause a \"\"violent injury on the person of another\"\" -- assault is often described as an attempt to commit a battery. A prosecutor must show that the defendant intended to commit a battery and had the \"\"present ability\"\" to do so, but does not need to show that physical contact actually happened. Battery describes force or violence used against another person. A prosecutor must show that the defendant willfully made contact with another person. The Penal Code establishes varying degrees of severity for a battery. While Section 242 of the Penal Code sets the basic elements of a battery, a prosecutor can also use Section 243 (d) when the victim suffered a \"\"serious bodily injury.\"\""

"text": "Bank Robbery Laws, Charges & Statute of Limitations By Geoffrey Nathan Law Views: 78170Bank robbery has a long and sometimes even a somewhat glamorized history, thanks in large part to its depiction in films and TV. But the reality is that it is one of the most serious crimes a person can be charged with, leading to very long prison sentences and other penalties. Bank robbery is just what it sounds like – the act of stealing from a bank while employees and bystanders are subjected to violence, the threat of violence, or force. It’s slightly different from burglary in that burglary usually involves breaking into the bank while it is closed. The FBI had had a major role in federal bank robbery cases going back to the 1930s. That was when John Dillinger and his gang were conducting bank robberies across the Midwest. It was in 1934 that it became a federal crime to rob a national bank or a state member bank that is part of the Federal Reserve System. That law was soon expanded to include larceny, bank burglary and related crimes. The jurisdiction for all of these serious federal crimes was given to the FBI. In the modern era, the FBI focuses its major resources on suspects that pose the most serious safety threat to the general public."

If they do not dismiss in that particular county/state, then the disposition remains adjudication withheld and the case is closed. However, if the defendant is foundin violation, the case disposition may be changed and the defendant can be found in guilt.

"text": "Assault in Maine is normally a misdemeanor but prior convictions, injuries, use of a weapon and other factors can increase the crime to a felony or an aggravated assault. The class of crime and the sentences depend on the circumstances of the incident and what facts the prosecutor can prove. While assault sounds simple, it’s actually a complicated crime to prove and to defend. There are always factual disputes about what really happened, witnesses are often intoxicated, and defenses like self-defense often apply. To understand Maine assault charges, you need to know a bit about the law. This article covers the following topics, use the links to jump to that section: Sentences and Penalties for Assault Misdemeanor Assault in Maine Felony Assault, Child Victim Felony Assault, Prior Convictions Aggravated Assault Elevated Aggravated Assault Felony Domestic Violence Assault Defenses to Assault Sentences and Penalties for Assault in Maine There is a huge range of possible sentences for assault charges. Assault is generally a class D misdemeanor with a maximum sentence of less than one year and a minimum sentence of a $300 fine. As discussed below, assault can be charged as a class C felony carrying a maximum penalty of five years in prison and 2 years of probation. Aggravated assault charges are class B felonies carrying a maximum of 10 years in prison and 3 years of probation. Elevated aggravated assault is a class A felony which has a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison and 4 years of probation."

Agonist- If a person were given morphine, a full (or pure) opioid agonist it would bind with opioid receptors, mimicking endorphins, and it would fully active that receptor site. In this case activation helps with pain by altering, among other things, neuronal excitability. There are also partial agonist that only partially activate the receptor sites, producing a smaller reaction."

Data from a large placebo-controlled US trial that compared the safety of salmeterol with placebo added to usual asthma therapy showed an increase in asthma-related deaths in subjects receiving salmeterol (13 deaths out of 13,176 subjects treated for 28 weeks on salmeterol versus 3 deaths out of 13,179 subjects on placebo). Currently available data are inadequate to determine whether concurrent use of inhaled corticosteroids or other long-term asthma control drugs mitigates the increased risk of asthma-related death from LABA. Because of this risk, use of SEREVENT DISKUS for the treatment of asthma without a concomitant long-term asthma control medication, such as an inhaled corticosteroid, is contraindicated. Use SEREVENT DISKUS only as additional therapy for patients with asthma who are currently taking but are inadequately controlled on a long-term asthma control medication, such as an inhaled corticosteroid. Once asthma control is achieved and maintained, assess the patient at regular intervals and step down therapy (e.g., discontinue SEREVENT DISKUS) if possible without loss of asthma control and maintain the patient on a long-term asthma control medication, such as an inhaled corticosteroid. Do not use SEREVENT DISKUS for patients whose asthma is adequately controlled on low-or medium-dose inhaled corticosteroids. Pediatric and Adolescent Patients: Available data from controlled clinical trials suggest that LABA increase the risk of asthma-related hospitalization in pediatric and adolescent patients. For pediatric and adolescent patients with asthma who require addition of a LABA to an inhaled corticosteroid, a fixed-dose combination product containing both an inhaled corticosteroid and a LABA should ordinarily be used to ensure adherence with both drugs. In cases where use of a separate long-term asthma control medication (e.g., inhaled corticosteroid) and a LABA is clinically indicated, appropriate steps must be taken to ensure adherence with both treatment components."

Kenakin, Ph DShow morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-12-384856-7.00002-1 Get rights and content Summary This chapter specifically discusses the concepts of affinity (expressed as a ratio of the rate of dissociation of the molecule from the protein (k 2) and the rate of association to the protein (k 1) in a parameter referred to as K eq where K eq =k 2 /k 1) and efficacy (the property of a molecule that changes the behavior of the biological target towards its cellular host when bound to that target). This latter term is general in that a given drug can have numerous “efficacies” of varying strength to yield multiple activities that are expressed either as sub-maximal (termed partial agonists) or maximal (full agonists) effects. Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the concept of a molecule having an “affinity” for a protein, and what the uniquely pharmacologic concept of “efficacy” means and its mechanism. Drugs can have many efficacies and this chapter describes the two drug related parameters of affinity and efficacy. The affinity and efficacy of a given molecule can be determined in one system (referred as “test” system), then these parameters may be used to assess drug activity in any other system, including the therapeutic one. This is of great value since drugs are very rarely discovered and studied directly in the therapeutic system. New terminologies such as rate of association and dissociation of molecules, equilibrium, lead, and lead optimization are also explained. Agonist response can be characterized in a system-independent manner by measurement of the affinity and efficacy of the agonist. Although both the parameters of affinity and efficacy are required to describe agonists, only affinity is required to characterize the activity of target antagonists. Flow charts and schematic diagrams help the reader to understand the process involved in drug effect."

D., DIRECTOR,PAIN TREATMENT CENTER, JOHNS HOPKINS HOSPITALHEALTH SYSTEMNovember 11, 2008Email Question: What Is An Agonist-Antagonist Medicine And When Is It Used For Pain Relief? Answer: Agonist-antagonist medicines represent a class of opiod medications that bind to both a receptor that produces pain relief, which is the agonist portion, and bind to another receptor that does not produce a physiological effect, which is the antagonist portion. The stimulus for the development of mixed agonist-antagonist drugs stemmed from the desire to have pain relievers like opiods with less respiratory depression and addictive potential. Some examples of these drugs are pentazocine or Talwin, nalbuphine or Nubain, and butorphanol or Stadol. Clinically, these medicines are used less often than opiods like morphine, oxycodone, fentanyl, and methadone because they have more limited pain-relieving effects and undesirable side effects. Buprenorphine or Buprenex is another example of a mixed agonist-antagonist medicine that is growing in use due to its ability to produce good pain relief, its potential for reduced risk of respiratory depression, and its ability for use as a maintenance drug for opioid-dependent patients. Some physicians prescribe agonist-antagonist medicines when your pain is mild or moderate in severity and then move to more powerful agents if your pain escalates in intensity.nullnull Important Information Regarding Fentanyl Patch Recall Next: What Are NSAIDs And When Might I Need One?

These include rapid loss of receptor coupling, for which better terms would be ‘rapid desensitization’, or ‘uncoupling’; removal of receptor from the cell surface, better described as ‘internalization’; and loss of total receptor protein, best described as ‘downregulation’. ‘ Sequestration’ is often used interchangeably with internalization, but this term denotes removal of the receptor from an environment where it can signal productively, rather than movement of the receptor inside the cell. ‘ Desensitization’ can also refer to processes that disrupt the coupling of multiple receptor types or change the signalling capacity of stimulus transduction proteins downstream of the receptor itself; it is important that such processes be identified as ‘heterologous desensitization’ where appropriate ( Lohse et al ., 1990 ). Similarly, the term tolerance has been used to loosely to describe the result of both acute (seconds to minutes) regulatory events and prolonged adaptive changes (days to weeks). Given the complex nature of processes likely to underlie tolerance to opioids in the whole animal, ‘tolerance’ is probably not a useful term to use in reference to a single molecular event contributing to an overall decrease in the response to opioid agonists, but should be reserved for adaptations associated with long-term (days to weeks) treatment with opioids. The interpretation of many functional studies of μ -opioid receptor regulation are also hampered by the failure to consider two issues critical in measurement of receptor regulation: (1) temporal resolution of regulatory events, and (2) appropriate measurement of specificity and magnitude of loss of receptor activation."

The muscles activated to move a joint include agonists, also known as prime movers, antagonists and synergists. The primary role of the antagonist is to counter the motion of the prime mover. Antagonists can also take on varying roles depending on the type of muscular contraction that occurs. Role of the Antagonist The primary role of the antagonist is to move in contrast to the agonist. As the agonist shortens the antagonist lengthens and vice versa. When performing a bicep curl, the bicep is the agonist in the contraction and the tricep is the antagonist. As the elbow flexes, the bicep shortens as it flexes and the tricep simultaneously lengthens to allow the bicep to shorten. Concentric Contractions During concentric contractions the agonist shortens against the load while the antagonist passively lengthens to accommodate the movement. However, a single muscle is not confined to the role of antagonist."

D. Routes of Administration The Importance Of Synapses The Neurotransmitters How Drugs Work (In General)Mechanisms Of Specific Drug Activity: (^)Routes of Administration In order for a drug to have an effect on someone, it must first be taken into that person's body and bloodstream so that it can then interact with that persons' brain. Drugs that get into the bloodstream faster tend to have faster, more intense effects. How you take a drug has a lot to do with how quickly it will effect you, and how long its effects will last. The more directly a person is able to get their drug of choice into their bloodstream, the faster and more intense the drug effect tends to be. Thus, all other things being equal, Intravenous (IV) injection of a drug will produce a greater rush than an oral dose of that same drug because the IV administered drug is immediately available to the brain, and does not have to be absorbed or otherwise processed. In addition to the route of administration, the amount of drug that can enter the blood stream at a time is an important factor as well. Drinking alcohol on an empty stomach will result in the alcohol entering the bloodstream faster than if the same drinks were had with a full stomach. The contents of the stomach act as a sort of sponge or buffer, limiting the amount of alcohol that can be absorbed into the blood stream and sent to the brain at any given moment. Direct IV injection into the blood Fast, intense onset of drug effect Inhalation (drug gets into the bloodstream via the lungs or nasal membranes)Eating (drug enters the bloodstream through the normal process of digestion via the stomach and intestine)Longer more gentle onset of drug effect Once the drug is in the blood it has almost immediate access to the brain."

The chart below from SAMHSA (2001) demonstrates different dose/response profiles for opioid agonists, partial agonists, and antagonists. Agonists Agonists bind to and activate receptors in a dose-dependent manner until all opioid receptors are occupied. At this point, the response plateau is reached, and increased doses of agonist have no effect. However, continued use beyond this plateau may lead to respiratory depression and overdose. Most abused opioids, as well as drugs used to treat opioid dependence, have an agonist effect at mu receptors."

Dr. Ishac | SNS | CV | PNS | Eye | NMJ | return to top Sympathetic nervous system return to Ishac return to top Question: Why is \"\"dry mouth\"\" a side effect of an alpha 2 agonist such as clonidine? Answer: Salivary glands receive sympathetic innervation (alpha1 & beta-receptors) in addition to cholinergic inneration (muscarinic). Activation of either system will increase secretion. The cholinergic is the more important system. Clonidine acts on the presynaptic alpha2-receptor to decrease NE release and hence decrease secretions from the salivary gland, resulting in dry mouth (very common). Question: Why do sympathomimetics make you sweaty if sweat glands have muscarinic receptors? Answer: The Sympathetic NS regulates sweating (see table on page 81) by controlling the function of about five million sweat glands in the body."

C1. Irreversible Covalent Inhibition Given what you already know about protein structure, it should be easy to figure how to inhibit an enzyme. Since structure mediates function, anything that would significantly change the structure of an enzyme would inhibit the activity of the enzyme. Hence extremes of p H and high temperature, all of which can denature the enzyme, would inhibit the enzyme in a irreversible fashion, unless it could refold properly. Alternatively we could add a small molecule which interacts noncovalently with the enzyme to either change its conformation or directly prevent substrate binding. Finally, we could covalently modify certain side chains, that if they are essential to enzymatic activity, would irreversibly inhibit the enzyme. We discussed previously the types of reagents that would chemically modify specific side chains that might be critical for enzymatic activity. For example, iodoacetamide might abolish enzyme activity if a Cys side chain is required for activity."

They are the full agonist, the partial agonist and the antagonist. As used here, an agonist is something that stimulates or produces an effect. Agonist is derived from the Late Latin agnista which means contender which is derived from the Greek agonists which also means contestant which came from agon which means contest. An agonist is a chemical contestant or contender. An antagonist is something that blocks an effect. Antagonist is derived from antagonize which is derived from the Greek antagonizesthal which means to struggle against which is derived from agonizesthal which means to struggle which is derived from agon which means contest. FULL AGONISTSFull agonists are opioid drugs that bind to mu opioid receptors in the brain, and cause them to produce endorphins which give analgesic (pain relief) and, depending on the dose and frequency, addictive effects and feelings of euphoria. Unless an individual’s metabolism and DNA prevent it, the larger the dose of a full agonist, the more mu receptors are activated and the larger the effects. Examples of full agonists are oxycodone, methadone, codeine, heroin and morphine."

Dopamine is also released by the hypothalamus, and hormone can inhibit the release of prolactin from the anterior lobe of the pituitary, so given all the bad things that we have already seen to be a result of excess. If you use anabolic steroids, Dostinex will help you reduce the chance of any of these prolactin related side-effects. It has actually been shown in numerous studies to have a very high success rate in lowering prolactin and prolactin related conditions and side-effects (1) (2). In fact, for management of hyperprolactinemia and it’s symptoms (got milk? ), Dostinex is the preferred treatment in terms of effectiveness as well as having very few undesirable side effects (3). It does this very well for both men and women, it should be noted…almost identically actually (4)Since it lowers prolactin very efficiently, Dostinex will even get rid sexual dysfunction caused by excess prolactin (5) (which is (anecdotally at least) highly correlative with the use of certain steroids like the Nandrolones and Trenbolones ( Deca and Tren ). This is great news for everyone who loves Tren and Deca, because those two steroids are really great additions to almost any cycle- but many people avoid using them because of the possibility of them causing impotence (often called “deca dick”)."

"text": "KYLE’S CORNER – AUTO REPAIR HELPAIR INJECTION SYSTEMby Kyle Mc Fadden The air injection system reduces hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions by creating a combustion process in the exhaust system. As the exhaust gases leave the combustion chamber, an air stream is injected into the exhaust port. The temperature of the exhaust gas combined with the addition of oxygen from th e AIR system, causes any unburned fuel in the exhaust gas to ignite and burn more completely. The air injection system is also used on some vehicles to provide additional oxygen to the catalytic converter. Some designs of catalytic converters require a supply of fresh air for correct operation. These systems will usually supply air to the exhaust manifolds when the engine is cold and switch the air downstream to the catalytic converter when the engine is at operating temperature. As part of a regular emission check, you should have a car repair mechanic inspect the air injection system. The air injection system consists of an air pump, diverter or air management valve, check valves and plumbing. The air pump is designed to supply a constant supply of air for the air injection system. The air pump can either be belt driven or on some late model vehicles, operated by an electric motor."

These guidelines reflect accepted design considerations based on experience in implementing cross connection control programs and policies set forth by the American Water Works Association, Environmental Protection Agency, USC Foundation for Cross Connection Control and Hydraulic Research and state and local health departments. Pending revisions to the manual, these guidelines should clearly outline what an acceptable design and installation constitutes. They are to be reasonably interpreted and will be updated as new design solutions and technologies are offered. General Installation Details Clearances All double check valve (DCV) and reduced pressure zone (RPZ) backflow prevention assemblies are designed for in-line service and must be installed to prevent freezing, flooding and mechanical damage with adequate space to facilitate maintenance and testing. Ideally, the installation should not require platforms, ladders or lifts for access. Adequate clearances from floors, ceilings and walls must be provided to access the test cocks and to allow the repair and/or removal of the relief valve and check valves; as follows: All assemblies shall be installed with a centerline height from 30 inches to 60 inches above the floor. Any installation at a greater height shall be provided with a fixed platform, a portable scaffold or a lift meeting OSHA standards. All RPZ devices must have an 18 inch minimum clearance between the bottom of the relief valve and the floor to prevent submersion and provide access for servicing and relief valve. A minimum of 12 inches of clear space shall be maintained above the assembly to allow for servicing check valves and for operation of shut-off valves."

Every valve has a part that physically moves to open and close it. This part's shape and motion varies greatly with the valve's design and, unfortunately, does not have a generic collective name. For conciseness, the term flapper is used below. Sealing & Actuation Pneumatic Actuators & Solenoids Gate Valves Gate Valve Conductances Angle Valves In-Line Valves Ball Valves Butterfly Valves Conductance Controllers Leak Valves Choosing a Leak Valve Pneumatic Actuators and Solenoids Pneumatic actuators are basically pistons that are moved by routing compressed air into the volume at one end of the piston. Two types of actuators are used to open/close valves: Spring-driven into one position and pneumatically driven to the other Pneumatically driven to both positions (by routing air first to \"\"this\"\" end then to \"\"that\"\" end while venting \"\"this\"\" end)When discussing different valve actuators, confusion sometimes arises when the word solenoid is used in association with a pneumatic actuator. Isn't the solenoid (which might also be called electro-magnetic actuator) a different actuation mechanism than pneumatic actuation? Yes, it is, but to control the compressed air causing the valve to shut off, vent, and switch ends requires another level of actuation. The solenoid valve attached to the pneumatic cylinder is entirely dedicated to switching compressed air."

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.

Water is pulled to the circulation pump under negative pressure, then pumped through the filter and back to the pool. In most pools, the pump suction can be diverted entirely to the skimmer, entirely to the main drain or divided between both. Skimmer Vs. Drain If the pool receives a lot of leaves and other debris, more suction may be required at the skimmer than the main drain to adequately strain debris floating on the surface. Conversely, if dirt on the bottom of the pool is the principal contaminant, more suction is required at the main drain. Switching all suction from the skimmer to the main drain may be called for if the pool water level drops below the skimmer inlet.

The valve gets its name from the ball that rotates to open and close the valve. Ball valves are used in situations where tight shut-off is required. They are wide duty valves, able to transfer gases, liquids and liquids with suspended solids (slurries).

The goal of this review is to examine the events that led to discovery of blood circulation. The Ancient Greeks, including Hippocrates and Galen viewed the cardiovascular system as comprising two distinct networks of arteries and veins. Galen claimed that the liver produced blood that was then distributed to the body in a centrifugal manner, whereas air or pneuma was absorbed from the lung into the pulmonary veins and carried by arteries to the various tissues of the body. Arteries also contained blood, which passed from the venous side via invisible pores in the interventricular septum and peripheral anastomoses. This was an open-ended system in which blood and air simply dissipated at the ends of veins and arteries according to the needs of the local tissue. Blood was not seen to circulate but rather to slowly ebb and flow."

"text": "Home & Garden Home Maintenance Plumbing Q: How Does a Shower Diverter Valve Work? A: Quick Answer A shower diverter valve enables a shower to be installed in a tub without a separate shower enclosure by using a rubber washer to cut off water supply from the tub and divert it to the shower head. There are several positions where the shower diverter valve can be placed, such as between the faucet and the spout or as a pull arm on the center of the faucet.

"text": "A heater core is a radiator -like device used in heating the cabin of a vehicle. Hot coolant from the vehicle's engine is passed through a winding tube of the core, a heat exchanger between coolant and cabin air. Fins attached to the core tubes serve to increase surface for heat transfer to air that is forced past them, by a fan, thereby heating the passenger compartment.

The internal combustion engine in most cars and trucks is cooled by a water and antifreeze mixture that is circulated through the engine and radiator by a water pump to enable the radiator to give off engine heat to the atmosphere. Some of that water can be diverted through the heater core to give some engine heat to the cabin, or adjust the temperature of the conditioned air. A heater core is a small radiator located under the dashboard of the vehicle, and it consists of conductive aluminium or brass tubing with cooling fins to increase surface area. Hot coolant passing through the heater core gives off heat before returning to the engine cooling circuit. The squirrel cage fan of the vehicle's ventilation system forces air through the heater core to transfer heat from the coolant to the cabin air, which is directed into the vehicle through vents at various points. Control [ edit]Once the engine has warmed up, the coolant is kept at a more or less constant temperature by the thermostat."

Continue Reading Keep Learning What Does It Mean If Water Is Coming Out of a Car's Tailpipe? What Are Some Symptoms of a Bad Ignition Coil? What Are the Symptoms of a Bad Exhaust Valve? Credit: John Lund Blend Images Getty Images Full Answer Backfires occur in engines with severe malfunctions, such as those with diverter valve issues, exhaust leaks and faulty catalytic converters. Backfiring caused by incorrect fuel-to-air ratios result from the engine running with either not enough fuel and too much air or too much fuel and not enough air. These issues result from a damaged fuel filter, low fuel pressure or a weak fuel pump. Backfiring that results from damaged wiring disrupts the ignition’s timing, which causes a build-up of air and fuel in the engine."

Finding the cause is important and easier with a basic understanding of how the system works. How the heater works To warm the passenger compartment of vehicles, designers have tried different sources of heat. Heat from exhaust gases work, but are corrosive and dangerous. The electrical current needed is excessive. Today, most vehicles use engine coolant as the source of heat. Engineers use many designs for automotive heating system but they function similarly, with only subtle variations. The vehicle’s cooling system removes excess engine heat. A water pump pushes the coolant around the cylinder head, through hoses and to a radiator, where it is cooled."

Robert Ortega, working for Purex was the first to patent a 3-way pool valve in 1980, but it didn’t catch on until Jandy introduced their first model, which was white in color. Jandy valves are more expensive than ball valves, but their design allows one valve to replace two ball valves, making plumbing simpler and cleaner. 3-way valves are also easier to use than other types of pool valves and newer models require no lubrication. These valves can handle flow rates in excess of 150 gpm, with minimal resistance, and pressures up to 50 psi. A removable lid makes these pool valves serviceable in the event of a clog or the breakage of internal parts. The 3-way design (shown) allows for plumbing flexibility and simplicity, and the valve is also available in a 2-way design. Another advantage of these valves is that you can plumb with pipe to the inside of the valve, or you can glue a coupling to the outside of the valve port, allowing you to plumb 1.5\"\" or 2\"\" with the same valve. What can be confusing for combination valve users is what is happening inside the valve when they turn the handle. Notice in the diagram that the size and curve of the handle (#3) corresponds exactly with the size and curve of the diverter (#8) inside the valve body."

"text": "2 Things to Check when a Shower Diverter Valve Won't Shut off A shower diverter valve enables you to control the amount of water that goes into separate outlets on the shower head. Most types of valves have one, two or three outlets and they may be fitted into handheld or wall mounted shower heads. Most types of shower diverter valves that are made of brass or chrome finish are durable but even then types of diverter valves may leak and refuse to shut off after sometime. If your shower diverter valve with hot shut off, you need to troubleshoot the problem right away to avoid water damage. Below are some of the things that you should check when troubleshooting the problem on your diverter valve. The Inside Nut on the Stem A loose inside nut can cause the water to flow freely from the shower head even after you shut off the diverter valve. To fix this condition, tighten the inside nut until the water stops leaking from the shower head. If the water does not stop flowing even after you tightened the inside nut, you should check the other nuts in the diverter valve and tighten them all. Check for Damage on the Diverter Cracks and damages on the diverter can cause water to leak. Check the diverter for signs of wear and tear."

"text": "\"Time Required:10 minutes Learning Outcomes To accurately define pain To discuss the different types of pain and its manifestations Definition of Pain Pain is often a major symptom in many medical conditions and is one of the most sited reasons for seeking medical assistance [1]. Acute pain has a protective function, it motivates us to withdraw from damaging or potentially damaging situations, protects the injured body part while it heals, and avoids those situations in the future [2]. An internationally recognised definition is by the International Association for the Study of Pain “Pain isan unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage” [3]. An alternative definition is offered by Mc Caffrey and Beebe, \"\"Pain is whatever the experiencing person says it is, existing whenever the experiencing person say it does\"\" [4]. Both of these definitions therefore highlight that a painful experience is more than just tissue damage triggering a response from the nervous system. The management of pain thus involves more than simply treating the tissue injury. However a major difference between the two definitions is that the IASP recognises that the inability to communicate verbally does not negate the possibility that an individual is experiencing pain and is in need of appropriate pain-relieving treatment. Thus the Mc Caffery & Beebe [4] definition is not useful for the cognitively impaired or immature who are unable to report and express pain. Pain is always subjective. Individuals learn pain through experiences related to painful instances in childhood, subsequently pain is that experience we associate with actual or potential tissue damage. It is thus undoubtedly a sensation within our body that is always unpleasant and therefore also an emotional experience [3]. So having defined pain, it is important to have a clear understanding of how acute pain differs from chronic pain. Acute pain is short-lasting, is a symptom, has an identifiable pathology with a response to tissue damage, has a biological function, is usually relieved by treatment and can be associated with anxiety. Pain in the perioperative period, from trauma or due to a sickle cell crisis falls into the acute pain category because it is a response to tissue damage. It is usually short-lasting, is a symptom that has an identifiable pathology and biological function and can usually be relieved by treatment."

Then recently, I was reminded of it and after reading for a while on various blogs and forums, I logged in once again. This time I had a mission. I wanted to see how much money a normal person can make. Every new worker on MTurk wants to know how much they can expect to make in their first month and be assured that they are doing it right. So before I began I searched online for an estimate for my expected earnings in the first month as a new worker. I found articles written by professional writers hired to spend an hour or at most a day on MTurk and then proclaim that, yes, the pay is low, but you can make $7.25 or even $12 an hour. I also found people’s posts on discussion boards claiming that they make about $800 a month turking 10 – 12 hours a day.

I know I’ve looked for them as well, in an attempt to find MTurk alternatives to make money online. Nowadays I only pop over to MTurk a few times a week to do any research studies that look interesting, so I’m definitely no expert. I guess my best answer to it would be, “Yes, but ”. There are similar opportunities online, but in my opinion nothing pays as well as MTurk. However, there are many other sites out there where people are earning, and many have the added bonus of offering affiliate or referral income. As you know, Mechanical Turk doesn’t offer a referral system, but there are other crowdsourcing sites that do. I’ll write down what I’ve found so far. Crowdflower Sites Formerly known on MTurk as “Dolores Labs”, Crowd Flower was a Requester many new Turkers turned to in order to build up their approval rating and number of approved HITs."

[ 2] It was first defined independently in the mid-1990s by Rick Bonney in the United States and Alan Irwin in the United Kingdom. [ 2] [3] [4] Alan Irwin, a British sociologist, defines CS as \"\"developing concepts of scientific citizenship which foregrounds the necessity of opening up science and science policy processes to the public\"\". [ 2] Irwin sought to reclaim two dimensions of the relationship between citizens and science: 1) that science should be responsive to citizens' concerns and needs; and 2) that citizens themselves could produce reliable scientific knowledge. [ 5] The American ornithologist Rick Bonney, unaware of Irwin's work, defined CS as projects in which nonscientists, such as amateur birdwatchers, voluntarily contributed scientific data. This describes a more limited role for citizens in scientific research than Irwin's conception of the term. [ 5]The terms citizen science and citizen scientists entered the Oxford English Dictionary ( OED) in June 2014. [ 6] [7] \"\"Citizen science\"\" is defined as \"\"scientific work undertaken by members of the general public, often in collaboration with or under the direction of professional scientists and scientific institutions\"\".

Ottoman empire was once the current USA - it was a multinational, multicultural state that relied on great technology on warfare and civil engineering. The empire was not based on a specific culture or clan, contrary to european or most asian empires. Even sultan mehmed, one of the greatest emperor of history felt very relieved to use the title, “kayser-i rum”, meaning he got the title of the roman emperor when he conquered constantinople. They even do not bother renaming constantinople; it was called “ konstantiniyye” in ottoman bureacracy. This is not just stemming from “being kind” - ottomans were highly paragmatic, much like usa. All big empires in history was built by superior military technology, be it new weapons or some tactics, like the huns short, composite bows which http://enabled.to use them when riding a horse. Being paragmatic, ottomans chose a very liberal trade and government system. They lose everything in the end, because their system is a dead end, based on conquers or taxing the trade, while europeans excelled on technology which led to industralization and trade at a higher volume. When things started to get rough, ottomans began cutting their own throats, as every other nation or a family does."

You'll need to equip yourself with some unique skills that would do the trick to impress potential employers. Every single time you sit down to type your resume, how you wish you could read the minds of potential employers! Figuring out what they are exactly looking for can be mind-boggling. So, does that mean you write a complete essay going gaga about your achievements and skills? No. Employers have to go through hundreds of resumes everyday, and they read the same 'excellent communication skills' and 'team orientation' in almost all the applications that they receive. If your resume is nothing but a copy of an Internet sample, it will simply be glossed over. Therefore, instead of writing a mini-autobiography, putting in a few job-oriented skills would be a better option. Though the skills you put in will vary according to the job you are applying for, and should be relevant to the current requirements for a particular job, here are a few basic ones to help you out."

"text": "The Importance of Pipette Calibration Most veteran lab technicians and metrology specialists know that consistent pipette calibration allows for greater quality results and saves money on reagents. They realize that being off, even by a slight margin, can create a significant error in lab research. The average pipette typically requires calibration service at least once a year and most biotech companies do semiannual calibration. It is strongly recommended and in many cases required that each pipette be serviced by an ISO 17025:2005 accredited laboratory. ISO 17025:2005 accreditation complies with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) criteria. ISO 17025:2005 “specifies the general requirements for the competence to carry our tests and/or calibrations, including sampling. It covers testing and calibration performed using standards methods, non-standard methods, and accredited laboratory-developed methods.” Proper pipette calibration is not a hurried process, instead it is a full-service system that complies to strict and precise practices in a controlled environment to attain an accurate and dependable scientific instrument. Proper pipette calibration is not a hurried process, instead it is a full-service system that complies to strict and precise practices in a controlled environment to attain an accurate and dependable scientific instrument. Criteria to Look for in a Pipette Calibration Service Every test conducted by a professional calibration technician is a systematic measurement to guarantee that the pipette reaches its maximum potential and abides by the National Institute of Standards Ultra Micro Balance."

When we look at an Anchor we see that it is a cross resting upon, and securely balanced within, a crescent moon or bowl. The cross has four points, and the number four represents matter. Furthermore, the crossed lines of the cross represent spirit (the vertical line) united with matter (the horizontal line). Hence, the cross represents an individuals personal Incarnation. The cross is a masculine Symbol which includes a person's Thoughts, Actions, and consciousness. The crescent moon, or bowl, is a feminine Symbol which represents the womb. The feminine also includes intuition, Emotions, and the Subconscious."

"text": "Anchor tattoo meaning: Why do people get anchor tattoos? Posted on January 23, 2012 by Lior Anchor tattoos are one of the oldest tattoo designs in the West and they are still popular today. Why do people get anchor tattoos? What does the anchor symbol mean?1. People used an anchor as a symbol of their Christianity In early Christianity, Christians were persecuted by the ruling Romans. To identify themselves as Christians to one another and simultaneously lie low from anti-Christian threats, they used secret symbols like the anchor, which was chosen for its resemblance to a cross. The anchor’s nature of strongly holding ships steady even in stormy weather strengthened the analogy of the anchor to religion. The religious use of the anchor was used to decorate Christian buildings to mark them as safe houses for fellow Christians seeking refuge. Anchor symbols can still be seen to be decorating some ancient buildings and Christian catacombs to this day. Used in this religious way, the anchor is called the “ Crux Dissimulata ” which means the “dissimilar cross” or the “disguised cross” in Latin."

"text": "\"10 Tattoos That Mean Strength That You Should Consider By Kristin Collins Jackson Sept 30 2015Fall When you choose to permanently decorate your body by getting a tattoo, you most likely will want something that's going to represent who you are or what where you ultimately want to go. This is why tattoos that represent strength are so popular. For the most part, I'm covered in symbols: symbols of my womanhood, symbols of communism, symbols of punk rock — for me, these all mean strength. Choosing a tattoo that represents strength will likely be unique to the person donning the ink, but perusing the Internet for ideas will definitely inspire the wheels to turn a vague idea into a detailed masterpiece. The most likely place to start when considering getting a tattoo (whether it's your first or one of many) is symbols, but sometimes trends can overshadow the true meaning behind a tattoo and leave you with a twinge of annoyance when you begin seeing person after person with the same tattoo as you. Fortunately, there are some great ideas for strength tattoos that can be unique and potentially trend- setting without you living in regret. These tattoos below are full of empowerment and resilience... just like a tattoo should be. Here are ten tattoos that represent strength.1. This Snake Tattoo While symbols that mean strength may be the first thing you type into your Google search, don't forget about snakes and other animals, which can definitely give your skin a subtle dose of power.2. A Hand Poked Skull Nothing says \"\"I'm strong AF\"\" as sitting through a hand poked tattoo, this skull has power written all over it.3."

It invests objects or actions with an inner meaning expressing Christian ideas. The symbolism of the early Church was characterized by being understood by initiates only, [1] while after the legalization of Christianity in the 4th-century more recognizable symbols entered in use. Christianity has borrowed from the common stock of significant symbols known to most periods and to all regions of the world. [ 2]Christianity has not generally practiced Aniconism, or the avoidance or prohibition of types of images, even if the early Jewish Christians sects, as well as some modern denominations, preferred to some extent not to use figures in their symbols, by invoking the Decalogue's prohibition of idolatry.

Early use of a globus cruciger on a solidus minted by Leontios (r. 695–698); on the obverse, a stepped cross in the shape of a Iota Eta monogram. The shape of the cross, as represented by the letter T, came to be used as a \"\"seal\"\" or symbol of Early Christianity by the 2nd century. [ 3] At the end of the 2nd century, it is mentioned in the Octavius of Minucius Felix, rejecting the claim by detractors that Christians worship the cross. [ 4] The cross (crucifix, Greek stauros) in this period was represented by the letter T. Clement of Alexandria in the early 3rd century calls it τὸ κυριακὸν σημεῖον (\"\"the Lord's sign\"\") he repeats the idea, current as early as the Epistle of Barnabas, that the number 318 (in Greek numerals, ΤΙΗ) in Genesis 14:14 was a foreshadowing (a \"\"type\"\") of the cross (T, an upright with crossbar, standing for 300) and of Jesus (ΙΗ, the first two letters of his name ΙΗΣΟΥΣ, standing for 18).

Some of the notable trends in this new form of art are 3D inking, neon tattoos and the use of white ink.

Contact Author Source History of the Nautical Tattoo Dating back as far as the 16 th century, sailors sported tattoos (called \"\"tatus\"\" in the Polynesian language) and brought these tribal \"\"souvenirs\"\" from the Pacific islands back to Europe. Later on in the 17 th century, written records (namely Captain John Cook’s diary) spoke about the tattoos that were observed on indigenous people. Back in the day, sailors actually tattooed each other and had to make do with what they had. They presumably used gunpowder and urine for ink. Did You Know? It was thought that gunpowder offered the mystical powers of protection and long life.

Work revolved around the unpredictable elements, and their lives were, therefore, always under luck's mercy.

That could mean sailors, seamen, navy personnel and others who worked in the deep blue seas and sailed on the beautiful and mighty oceans. Recently, the scene has changed and now the anchor tattoo has gained quite a bit of popularity. In fact, the anchor tattoo is no longer always associated with the seafarers. People in the rock scene have begun to add their own flavor and design to this tattoo and are doing so with a great deal of enthusiasm! It has also become the design of choice with the fairer sex and it looks pretty awesome. It’s also grown in popularity among the Christian circles as a symbol of strength and stability. Lots of missionaries can be found around the world with a small anchor inscribed on their wrist, behind their ear and on their ankle. The anchor tattoo has meanings that are far greater than just the sea and the ships that it holds steady. In fact, in the past, it was believed that the anchor design was used to camouflage and shelter the symbol of the Holy Cross."

Why a PSA test is done A PSA test may be done to:help find prostate cancer early in men who don’t have any signs or symptoms of the diseasecheck for cancer in men who have signs or symptoms of prostate cancerconfirm a diagnosis when other tests suggest prostate cancerpredict a prognosis (outcome) for prostate cancerpredict if cancer has spread outside the prostateplan treatment for prostate cancermonitor men with prostate cancer who are being treated with active surveillancefind out if cancer treatments are workingfind out if cancer has come back (recurred) after treatment A PSA test is often used together with a digital rectal exam (DRE) to increase the chance of finding prostate cancer early when it is easier to treat. Using these tests together is better than using either test alone. Who should have a PSA test Men older than 50 years should talk to their doctor about their personal risk of developing prostate cancer and the benefits and risks of having a PSA test. The Canadian Cancer Society recommends that you should also talk to your doctor about PSA testing if you:will soon be 50 years oldhave a family history of prostate cancer or are of African ancestryhave symptoms of prostate cancer Benefits and risks The PSA test can help detect prostate cancer early, but it can also cause false alarms or can miss prostate cancer when it’s really there. It’s important that men talk to their doctor about their personal risk of developing prostate cancer as well as the benefits and risks of PSA testing. Benefits A PSA test can find prostate cancer early, before it grows large or spreads outside of the prostate. Finding cancer early can mean that treatments will be more successful."

The test, known as Decipher (developed by Genome Dx Biosciences), could help prevent overtreatment, according to Ketan Badani, MD, urologic oncologist at Columbia University in New York City. He presented study results at the 2013 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium (GUCS) in Orlando, Florida, which showed how physicians who were provided results from this genomic test altered their management decisions. The test is currently available to select physicians and their patients as part of ongoing clinical studies. The company hopes that the test will become more widely available in 2013. The test measures 22 markers associated with aggressive prostate cancer, and uses samples of paraffin-embedded tumor tissue that have been removed during prostatectomy. The resulting percentage score indicates whether a man is at high or low risk for metastases, and therefore whether he is a candidate for further treatment, such as radiation and/or androgen-suppression therapy, Dr. Badani explained in an interview. The Decipher test is similar to the Oncotype Dx genomic test used in breast cancer, he noted. Both provide a risk stratification based on biologic material in the tumor tissue. \"\" We haven't had this in prostate cancer before,\"\" Dr. Badani added."

[ 2] The score was developed to select patients for therapeutic strategies that could potentially be more convenient or cost-effective. A prospective trial demonstrated that a modified MASCC score can identify patients with febrile neutropenia at low risk of complications, as well. [ 3]In contrast, the Clinical Index of Stable Febrile Neutropenia (CISNE) score is specific of patients with solid tumors and seemingly stable episodes. CISNE is able to discriminate groups of patients who are at low, intermediate, and high risk of complications in this population.

Many pharmaceutical companies looked at Penicillin as an example, and later generated other antibiotics products of their own. Antibiotics quickly had a large impact on human, animals, and the living bacteria. According to an article, \"\"Multidrug Resistance in Bacteria\"\", by Hiroshi NIkaido, an estimate of 100,000 tons of antibiotics were produced each year; and due to its ability to cure diseases and popularity, we took advantage and over used the antibiotics; in which resulted in a multi-drug resistance. Key Characteristics of Antibiotics [ edit]The use of antibiotics in a clinical setting has been directed by several key characteristics of antibiotics: Antibiotics have selective toxicity: This allows for detection of bacterial targets rather than eukaryotic cells that the body needs. Antibiotics have a limited spectrum of activity: Therefore each antibiotic only affect a few bacterial species, so there is a need for many different antibiotics. An example is penicillin, which mainly kills gram-positive bacteria. On the other hand, ampicillin has an additional amino group that allows for the penetration of a gram-negative outer membrane. Ampicillin therefore has a wider spectrum of activity than penicillin."

In equations: LBM = BW − BF Lean body mass equals body weight minus body fat LBM + BF = BW Lean body mass plus body fat equals body weight The percentage of total body mass that is lean is usually not quoted – it would typically be 60–90%. Instead, the body fat percentage, which is the complement, is computed, and is typically 10–40%. The lean body mass (LBM) has been described as an index superior to total body weight for prescribing proper levels of medications and for assessing metabolic disorders, as body fat is less relevant for metabolism. Estimation [ edit]LBM is usually estimated using mathematical formulas. The following formula may be used: [1]For men: LBM = (0.32810 × W) + (0.33929 × H) − 29.5336For women: LBM = (0.29569 × W) + (0.41813 × H) − 43.2933where W is body weight in kilograms and H is body height in centimeters. A nomogram based on height, weight and arm circumference may be used.

Nevertheless, paracetamol poisoning is common and potentially fatal. 1 It is a leading cause of acute liver failure in the United Kingdom 2 and the United States. 3 Potential liver damage, predicted from blood paracetamol concentration and time from ingestion, can be prevented by prompt treatment with antidote. However, young and otherwise healthy patients still risk serious liver injury, especially if they present more than a few hours after overdose or take staggered overdoses over hours or days. 4Sources and selection criteria We based our review on a Pub Med search for articles on paracetamol (or acetaminophen) and acetylcysteine or ( N- acetylcysteine) published between 1 January 1990 and 31 December 2010, without language limits. The search was limited to human clinical trials, meta-analyses, randomised controlled trials, reviews, and case reports. We also searched a newspaper database for reports published after 1988 of coroners’ inquests and procurators’ fiscal inquiries into fatal cases of paracetamol poisoning. In addition, we used a bibliography and our own collections of relevant references. 5How does paracetamol cause damage and who is at risk?"

It is always ordered along with antinuclear antibodies (ANA). Autoimmune hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver that is associated with high concentration of auto antibodies (antibodies which instead of acting against foreign invaders, attack the body's own cells), pronounced hypergammaglobulinemia, and the absence of cholestasis. Smooth Muscle Antibody (SMA) is protein which is produced by the body's immune system and is directed against its own cytoskeletal proteins of the smooth muscle. Autoimmune hepatitis can be found in anyone at any age, but mostly women are affected. The SMA testing involves the detection of anti smooth muscle antibody against smooth muscle antibody. Sometimes SMA testing is done after the anti-actin test to confirm the finding. The anti-actin test is an initial screening test for autoimmune hepatitis. The common symptoms of autoimmune hepatitis to be noticed for ordering SMA blood test are: Fatigue Jaundice Abnormal elevated findings (aspirate aminotransferase and bilirubin) on routine liver test. Among the three types of muscles in the human body, smooth muscles are the ones found in the walls of several hollow organs of the digestive tract in the body, such as the stomach, the liver, and the intestines."

Lyme disease is an infection caused by the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi and Borrelia mayonii, which are carried primarily by the deer tick, also known as the black-legged tick. Lyme disease tests measure Borrelia antibodies in the blood, or in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) if there are signs and symptoms of central nervous system disease. These antibodies are produced by the body's immune system in response to exposure to Borrelia, the bacteria that cause Lyme disease."

Clinical Information Measurement of antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) in serum is the most commonly performed screening test for patients suspected of having a systemic rheumatic disease, also referred to as connective tissue disease. ( 1) ANAs occur in patients with a variety of autoimmune diseases, both systemic and organ-specific. They are particularly common in the systemic rheumatic diseases, which include lupus erythematosus (LE), discoid LE, drug-induced LE, mixed connective tissue disease, Sjogren syndrome, scleroderma (systemic sclerosis), CREST (calcinosis, Raynaud's phenomenon, esophageal dysmotility, sclerodactyly, telangiectasia) syndrome, polymyositis/dermatomyositis, and rheumatoid arthritis. ( 1)The diagnosis of a systemic rheumatic disease is based primarily on the presence of compatible clinical signs and symptoms. The results of tests for autoantibodies including ANA and specific autoantibodies are ancillary. Additional diagnostic criteria include consistent histopathology or specific radiographic findings. Although individual systemic rheumatic diseases are relatively uncommon, a great many patients present with clinical findings that are compatible with a systemic rheumatic disease and large numbers of tests for ANA are ordered to eliminate the possibility of a systemic rheumatic disease.

"text": "Print Overview An ANA test detects antinuclear antibodies (ANA) in your blood. Your immune system normally makes antibodies to help you fight infection. In contrast, antinuclear antibodies often attack your body's own tissues — specifically targeting each cell's nucleus. In most cases, a positive ANA test indicates that your immune system has launched a misdirected attack on your own tissue — in other words, an autoimmune reaction. But some people have positive ANA tests even when they're healthy. Your doctor is likely to order an ANA test for a suspected autoimmune disease such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis or scleroderma. Why it's done Many rheumatic diseases have similar signs and symptoms — joint pain, fatigue and fever. While an ANA test can't confirm a specific diagnosis, it can rule out some diseases. And if the ANA test is positive, your blood can be tested for the presence of particular antinuclear antibodies, some of which are specific to certain diseases. How you prepare An ANA test requires a sample of your blood."

Why not…Dec20by Dr. Ronan Kavanagh In: Blog, Rheumatology17 comments Tweet To most medical students and patients uninitiated in the science of rheumatology, the diagnostic process whereby rheumatologists assess patients may seem bewildering. When considering any patient who presents with joint pain, there are over 100 types of arthritis to consider, lots of conditions which mimic arthritis, a huge array of blood tests to consider and any amount of expensive imaging tests at our disposal. Sounds complicated? It’s not as hard as it seems. When you take gout and joint infections out of the mix (usually easy to spot if you know what you’re doing), you are really trying to determine if your patient has one of two categories of joint problem; a problem relating to joint degeneration or one relating to inflammation. Only two types of arthritis to consider. That shouldn’t be too hard to do now should it? Here’s some of blood tests that help us do it;Inflammation blood tests (ESR, CRP)The results from these two readily available and relatively inexpensive blood tests are probably the first tests any rheumatologist looks for on a patient are the ESR (‘sed rate’) and CRP. These two complementary blood tests help us differentiate between patients with active inflammatory arthritis (eg rheumatoid, psoriatic, reactive arthritis, undifferentiated inflammatory arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis) and those with degenerative joint problem or with other causes of their pain."

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

Hess *+ Author Affiliations Hi SS Diagnostics Gmb H, Freiburg, Germany In 1968 Epstein-Barr virus (EBV; now human herpesvirus 4) was found to be the major cause of infectious mononucleosis (IM), a usually self-limited clinical syndrome ( 10 ). Only about 5% of adults in Western societies remain EBV uninfected; thus, antibody prevalence rates reach 95% or higher among elderly individuals ( 29 ). Although it is believed that routine laboratory diagnosis of primary EBV infection is straightforward, this minireview focuses on practice guidelines for a rational approach to the diagnosis of EBV-associated IM in immunocompetent individuals on a serological basis. Next Section CLINICAL SYMPTOMS IN IMMUNOCOMPETENT INDIVIDUALSClinical symptoms and diagnostic approaches differ according to the immune status of the patients. In immunocompetent individuals primary infection with EBV is most often frequently asymptomatic ( 10 ). IM may present as a mild infectious illness of young children, but in young adults primary EBV infection can cause a type of IM known as the Pfeiffer's Drüsenfieber (glandular fever) or kissing disease ( 20 ). A variety of symptoms, such as upper respiratory tract infection, otitis media, abdominal complaints, hepatitis, enlargement of the cervical lymph nodes, tonsillitis and/or pharyngitis, and moderate to high fever are observed ( 31 ). In most cases primary EBV infection is accompanied by increases in liver enzyme levels and lymphocytosis, largely composed of atypical lymphocytes (mononuclear cells) in the peripheral blood ( 16 ). The clinical signs of IM are provoked by the massive immune response involving cytotoxic T lymphocytes directed against EBV-infected B cells ( 29 )."

The loss of bile ducts leads to decreased bile secretion and decreased liver function. The inflammation within the liver can result in fibrosis, cirrhosis, and eventual liver failure. PBC is most common in middle-aged women and may be associated with nonhepatic autoimmune diseases such as thyroiditis and Sjögren syndrome. 1,2 Early diagnosis of PBC and initiation of therapy are necessary to slow disease progression and manage associated complications such as osteoporosis and fat-soluble vitamin deficiency. Patients with PBC may present with fatigue and pruritus, but most are asymptomatic and identified by elevated alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels (≥1.5 times the upper limit of the reference range). 3 Presentation may also include symptoms of nonhepatic autoimmune diseases (eg, thyroid dysfunction, dry eyes and mouth). Diagnosis of PBC proceeds with confirmation of the hepatic origin of ALP (eg, elevated alanine aminotransferase [ALT]), testing for mitochondrial antibodies, and noninvasive imaging to exclude biliary obstruction."

When a positive antinuclear antibody (ANA) test is accompanied by several other clues that doctors look for in diagnosing lupus, it is often a strong indication for doctors to consider lupus. It’s common for positive lab tests to come and go over time. If this happens, it’s less likely that you will receive a lupus diagnosis, though still possible.

Serum rheumatologic tests are generally most useful for confirming a clinically suspected diagnosis. Testing for rheumatoid factor is appropriate when rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's syndrome or cryoglobulinemia is suspected. Antinuclear antibody testing is highly sensitive for systemic lupus erythematosus and drug-induced lupus. Anti–double-stranded DNA antibodies correlate with lupus nephritis; the titer often corresponds with disease activity in systemic lupus erythematosus. Testing for anti-Ro (anti-SS-A) or anti-La (anti-SS-B) may help confirm the diagnosis of Sjögren's syndrome or systemic lupus erythematosus; these antibodies are associated with the extraglandular manifestations of Sjögren's syndrome. Cytoplasmic anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody testing is highly sensitive and specific for Wegener's granulomatosis.

D., Dept. of Rheumatic and Immunologic Diseases, The Cleveland Clinic COMPLAINTS OF CHRONICALLY LOW ENERGY, arthralgias, and myalgias are common in any primary care setting. Physicians often investigate with a battery of laboratory tests, and if the antinuclear antibody (ANA) test is positive the patient is frequently referred to a rheumatologist with a presumptive diagnosis of lupus. But in fact, few of these patients will be found to have lupus or any other inflammatory rheumatic disease, and many will be diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Along the way there can be a great deal of confusion, since many of the symptoms of fibromyalgia resemble the symptoms of lupus, and indiscriminate use of the rheumatology laboratory can lead to unwarranted concerns about autoimmune disease. Clinicians who are comfortable with the concept of fibromyalgia, who perform thorough histories and physicals, and who interpret laboratory tests with caution are more likely to avoid diagnostic errors. Among the key points to keep in mind:• Patients with chronic fatigue and widespread pain are more likely to have fibromyalgia than any other rheumatic disease.• Be prepared to diagnose fibromyalgia, while excluding autoimmune diseases by history, physical examination, and limited laboratory testing.• Autoantibody testing is best reserved for patients whose pretest odds of an autoimmune disease are high.• All rheumatology laboratory tests must be interpreted in the context of the history and physical examination.• Embrace the concept of fibromyalgia: it will help you avoid errors in diagnosis and treatment and lead to a rational plan of therapy for your patient. KNOW THE DEMOGRAPHICSLupus is not a common disease. The prevalence in white women in the United States is approximately 10 to 50 per 100,000; in black women the prevalence is approximately 4 to 5 times higher."

( 1) In this disease, immune-mediated inflammation leads to destruction of gastric parietal cells with the resultant loss of intrinsic factor production and the inability to absorb dietary vitamin B12. Diagnosis of PA involves demonstrating the presence of a macrocytic anemia in the context of vitamin B12 deficiency, as well as documenting positive autoantibody serology, specifically anti-parietal cell antibody (PCA) and intrinsic factor antibody (IFA). ( 2) PCAs bind to the alpha- and beta-subunits of the membrane-bound H (+)/K (+)-ATPase. In contrast, IFAs bind directly to intrinsic factor, blocking its ability to bind vitamin B12. ( 1,2) Both PCAs and IFAs are useful diagnostic markers for PA. In a recently published study, PCAs were 81% sensitive and 90% specific for ABG, while IFAs were 27% sensitive and 100% specific. The study concluded that a combination of PCA and IFA testing was the optimal strategy for the evaluation of patients with suspected PA.

To diagnose an abdominal aortic aneurysm, doctors will review your medical and family history and conduct a physical examination. If your doctor suspects that you have an aortic aneurysm, specialized tests can confirm it. These tests might include: Abdominal ultrasound. This test is most commonly used to diagnose abdominal aortic aneurysms. During this painless exam, you lie on your back on an examination table and a small amount of warm gel is applied to your abdomen. The gel helps eliminate the formation of air pockets between your body and the instrument the technician uses to see your aorta, called a transducer.

There are two types of aortic aneurysm: Thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA) - these occur in the part of the aorta running through the chest Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) - these occur in the part of the aorta running through the abdomen Most aneurysms are found during tests done for other reasons. Some people are at high risk for aneurysms. It is important for them to get screening, because aneurysms can develop and become large before causing any symptoms. Screening is recommended for people between the ages of 65 and 75 if they have a family history, or if they are men who have smoked. Doctors use imaging tests to find aneurysms. Medicines and surgery are the two main treatments."

An abdominal aortic aneurysm occurs when the large blood vessel (the aorta) that supplies blood to the abdomen, pelvis and legs becomes abnormally large or balloons outward. This type of aneurysm is most often found in men over age 60 who have at least one or more risk factor, including emphysema, family history, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity and smoking. The rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm is a medical emergency, and only about 20 percent of patients survive. Call 9-1-1 and seek immediate medical attention if you have extreme pain in your belly or back that does not go away. Learn more about this type of aneurysm. Cerebral Aneurysm Cerebral aneurysms, which affect about 5 percent of the population, occur when the wall of a blood vessel in the brain becomes weakened and bulges or balloons out. There are many types of aneurysms. The most common, a “berry aneurysm,” is more common in adults. It can range in size from a few millimeters to more than a centimeter."

Your doctor may recommend abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair to treat an aneurysm. An aneurysm is a bulging, weak spot in the aorta that may be at risk for rupturing. In this case, the aneurysm is in part of the aorta that is in the abdomen. Repair of an AAA may be done in one of two ways: Open repair. For this surgery, your doctor makes a large incision in the abdomen to expose the aorta. Once he or she has opened the abdomen, a graft can be used to repair the aneurysm. Open repair remains the standard procedure for an abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). This is a minimally invasive option."

The purpose of this review is to explain the main aspects (etiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis) of this disease and to summarize the most recent developments in its management. Methodology Literature was obtained through online health related search engines (Pub Med, MEDLINE) by including the following keywords: ascending aorta aneurysm, thoracic aneurysms, Marfan syndrome, bicuspid aortic valve, familial thoracic syndrome, aortic dissection, aorta imaging and aortic aneurysm guidelines. We included articles dating from 1980 to 2014. Findings Literature revealed how lethal this disease can be and how simple steps such as follow-up and prophylactic surgery can significantly reduce morbidity and mortality. This review also allowed us to realize the many developments that have been made in recent years in the understanding of pathologic mechanisms of this disease. Conclusion TAA is a silent disease that needs to be recognized early in its course and followed closely in order to recommend appropriate preventive and prophylactic therapy in a timely manner.

"text": "\"A thoracic aortic aneurysm, an abnormal bulge in a weakened wall of the aorta in the chest area, can cause a variety of symptoms and often life-threatening complications. Due to the serious risks it presents, timely diagnosis and treatment of a thoracic aneurysm are critical. The standard surgical treatment for thoracic aortic aneurysms is open-chest aneurysm repair, but Cleveland Clinic surgeons are now able to treat many thoracic and thoracoabdominal (occurring in the lower part of the thoracic aorta and the upper part of the abdominal aorta) aneurysms with a minimally invasive procedure called an endovascular stent graft. What is an endovascular stent graft? Endovascular means that surgery is performed inside your aorta using thin, long tubes called catheters. Through small incisions in the groin, the catheters are used to guide and deliver a stent-graft through the blood vessels to the site of the aneurysm. The stent graft is then deployed in the diseased segment of the aorta and \"\"relines\"\" the aorta like a sleeve to divert blood flow away from the aneurysm. An endovascular stent graft is a fabric tube supported by metal wire stents (also called a scaffold) that reinforces the weak spot in the aorta. By sealing the area tightly with your artery above and below the aortic aneurysm, the graft allows blood to pass through it without pushing on the aneurysm. Cleveland Clinic is a non-profit academic medical center."

When used to treat thoracic aortic disease, the procedure is then specifically termed TEVAR (thoracic endovascular aortic/aneurysm repair). The procedure involves the placement of an expandable stent graft within the aorta to treat aortic disease without operating directly on the aorta. In 2003, EVAR surpassed open aortic surgery as the most common technique for repair of AAA, [1] and in 2010, EVAR accounted for 78% of all intact AAA repair in the United States.

Patients with aneurysms require elective repair of their aneurysm when it reaches a diameter large enough (typically greater than 5.5 cm) such that the risk of rupture is greater than the risk of surgery. Repair is also warranted for aneurysms that rapidly enlarge or those that have been the source of emboli (debris from the aneurysm that dislodge and travel into other arteries). Lastly, repair is also indicated for aneurysms that are the source of pain and tenderness, which may indicate impending rupture. The options for repair include traditional open aortic surgery or endovascular repair. Endovascular procedures aim to reduce the morbidity and mortality of treating arterial disease in a patient population that is increasingly older and less fit than when major open repairs were developed and popularized."

An aneurysm occurs when the pressure of blood passing through part of a weakened artery forces the vessel to bulge outward, forming what you might think of as a blister. Not all aneurysms are life threatening. But if the bulging stretches the artery too far, this vessel may burst, causing a person to bleed to death. An aneurysm that bleeds into the brain can lead to stroke or death. Where do aneurysms occur in the body? In the tiny arteries that supply blood to the brain (the cerebral arteries). In parts of the large vessel that carries blood from the heart to other parts of the body (the aorta). Aortic aneurysms can occur in the area below the stomach (abdominal aneurysms) or in the chest (thoracic aneurysms)."

Medline Plus states that most abdominal aortic aneurysms are caused by atherosclerosis, a fatty deposit of the inner lining of the arteries. The International Society for Cardiovascular Surgery considers the diagnosis of AAA if a diameter is greater than 3 cm. The most characterized manifestations of AAA, According to the Society of Thoracic Surgeons, are pain, abdominal symptoms, symptoms of poor blood flow and shock. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Pain According to the Mayo Clinic, AAA does not usually cause any symptoms until it becomes very large or ruptures. It is often discovered during routine physical exams or procedure for unrelated illnesses. The first indication of abdominal aortic aneurysm is often severe chest pain. If an aneurysm begins to leak, deep back or groin pain often occurs. This pain may not respond to pain medication or position changes, Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, College of Medicine notes.

Often there are no symptoms, but a ruptured aneurysm can lead to fatal complications. An aneurysm refers to a weakening of an artery wall that creates a bulge, or distention, of the artery. Most aneurysms do not show symptoms and are not dangerous. However, at their most severe stage, some can rupture, leading to life-threatening internal bleeding. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advise that aortic aneurysms contribute to over 25,000 deaths in the United States (U. S.) each year. Around 30,000 brain aneurysms rupture in the U. S. each year. An estimated 40 percent of these cases cause death within 24 hours. Fast facts on aneurysms Aneurysms affect a variety of arteries.

The clinical significance of the correlation between BAV and dilatation of the ascending aorta is based on 2 factors. First, BAV is the most common congenital cardiac abnormality, occurring in 0.46% to 1.37% of the population. 1–4 Second, aortic dilatation has a propensity for dissection and rupture, making it a potentially lethal disease. Ascending aortic dilatation with BAV warrants frequent monitoring, with possible early prophylactic surgical intervention to prevent dissection or rupture. The purpose of this article is to review the etiology and natural history and to make suggestions regarding management of the disease on the basis of the limited data available. Pathophysiology Differential for Etiology of Ascending Aortic Aneurysms Most ascending aortic aneurysms have unknown etiology and are classified as idiopathic. 5 In contrast to aneurysms of the descending aorta, ascending aortic aneurysms are not commonly a result of atherosclerosis. 6,7 Among heritable connective tissue disorders such as Marfan syndrome and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, ascending aortic aneurysms are a clinical component of the syndrome."

That’s not to say the FHA doesn’t have rules governing FHA fees, but according to FHA requirements, “the marketplace best determines what is reasonable and customary in terms of establishing fees for appraisal services. Fees are established and negotiated between the FHA Roster Appraiser and the client whether that is an FHA approved lender, Appraisal Management Company (AMC) or third party.” FHA rules about appraisal fees include a stipulation that fees must not be set according to performance; the fee can’t be determined based on the outcome of the appraisal. This rule eliminates the potential for inflated values or undervalued properties based on how much fee is paid. There’s no temptation to game the system because the fees are the same regardless of the results of the appraisal. All of this is helpful, but doesn’t answer the basic question; “How much do FHA appraisal fees cost?” The short answer is that appraisal fees vary depending on the market.

If your Lender is a high volume Lender, they tend to have a bit more juice with the Appraisers and an appraisal can happen within 24 hours. But, if your loan is an FHA or VA loan, the appraisal request goes into a pool and the Lender has no say in who they get, so the time frame can increase to usually still no more than 5 days, but that is usually dependent on that individual appraiser's work load. I would be surprised if it took more than a week in this (not terribly busy) late winter season. As for the inspection, you do not need to wait for the appraisal to come back to order that. In fact, depending on the time frame you put in your contract for \"\"Due Diligence\"\", you likely have no more than 7 to 10 days (see your contract) to complete your home inspection. By the way you wrote your question I was sure if you realized, so let me clarify that, you have to order and pay for the inspection yourself."

What is the Difference Between Appraisal Report Types? The main difference between the report types is the amount of detail presented within the appraisal. Also, restricted appraisal reports cannot be used or relied on by any other party than the client (for this reason restricted use appraisals are not common).2014 Report Type Change Overview As of 2014, there are now only two appraisal report types addressed by USPAP, which are now referred to as Appraisal Report and Restricted Appraisal Report. USPAP is the governing standard the sets forth the minimum appraisal reporting requirements within the State of Colorado (and most other states). USPAP is updated every two years. Prior to the 2014/2015 revision of USPAP, there were three report type formats and related reporting requirements available: Restricted Use, Summary, and Self Contained (moving from least detailed to most detailed). As of the 2014/2015 USPAP update, however, the above three report types are no longer addressed by USPAP. Currently, only two report types are prescribed to meet the minimum requirements and reporting standards of USPAP: Restricted Appraisal Report and Appraisal Report. Both these report types are complete appraisals with certified values, though the level of reporting detail varies significantly."

"text": "Sep 8, 2014 | Home Buyer Guidance During the process of obtaining a mortgage loan, many first-time homeowners receive a home appraisal report but are unclear about what determines the value of their property. The process of evaluating a home’s potential worth can be daunting, as there is a lot of interplay between various organizations. What Is Value? The value of a home is its estimated current worth, plus the future benefits that would come from owning the property. These benefits are gained over a long period of time, sometimes over the full term of the loan. This means that value is influenced by government regulations, economic trends and other social factors that impact the housing market. Real estate value is not equivalent to cost; the latter looks at today’s expenditures, such as the materials and labor used to build the home. A house that cost $100,000 to build could have a higher value if it is located in a great school system or it could have a significantly lower value if there’s a major problem with its foundation. Exact value calculations differ. Potential factors include cost of the home and property, its location, expected appreciation of land value, future investment implications and age of the home."

Chances are, you have a pretty strong opinion. But if you take out a mortgage loan to buy that home, you will be required to get another more objective judgment of the home’s value — that of a professional real estate appraiser. A real estate appraisal assigns a market value to your home. Typically, lenders order appraisals to make sure the property’s value is in line with the loan they are offering to the homebuyer. If the lender orders the appraisal, the buyer usually is the one who pays for the service, although some buyers may negotiate and get the seller to pay. In other cases, home sellers may order an appraisal before putting their home on the market so they can accurately gauge the property’s worth. How much does a home appraisal cost? Appraisal costs vary widely, says Scott Robinson, president of the Appraisal Institute, the nation’s largest professional association of real estate appraisers."

Definition A performance standard is a management-approved expression of the performance threshold (s), requirement (s), or expectation (s) that must be met to be appraised at a particular level of performance. A Fully Successful (or equivalent) standard must be established for each critical element and included in the employee performance plan.

"text": "Proving Appraisal Adjustments By Beverly A Bayer, SRA – [email protected] When I began appraising, I asked my mentor what adjustments to use- he said, “Figure it out for yourself.” So I did. Here’s what I learned. When my mentor left the office, I studied his appraisals and began using his adjustments. Many years later, I wonder how many appraisers are using hand-me-down adjustments, a list picked up from somewhere or another, or those suggested by a client? Let’s be honest: (1) How many appraisers have a set of adjustments that seem to work – that they might have used for years but have never tested? ( 2) How often do we guess at an adjustment either because we do not know how to determine the adjustment or just don’t want (or have the time) to do the research and analysis? ( 3) How often do appraisers, challenged on an adjustment and unable to defend it, bend to unreasonable requests? It is possible to do an appraisal without adjusting but we have found by adjusting we can narrow the range of indicated values from the comparables. However, if our adjustments are wrong, we might find we are not narrowing the range but actually making it wider."

By Amy Pennza Attorney Source Home appraisers value property by doing a walk-through of the house and then using one of two standard valuation methods: either the \"\"sales comparison approach\"\" or the \"\"cost approach.\"\" Occasionally, an appraiser might apply both valuation methods in an effort to pinpoint an extremely accurate value. A home appraisal provides the best determination of a home's value. The Walk-Through Unlike other forms of home valuation, such as reports put together by real estate agents, home appraisals are prepared by licensed home appraisers. These professionals look at a variety of factors when valuing real estate. Among other things, they consider a home's size, layout, and how well it has been maintained. They also factor in surrounding properties and recent sales of similar homes. The walk-through is the first step in a residential home appraisal and easily the most important part of the entire process. During this step, the appraiser visits the home and performs a visual inspection of the inside and outside of the property."

"text": "\"Assessment (Without Inspection): $80-$125 Appraisal (With Inspection): $100-$500E-mail Post Tweet A car appraisal is a written estimate of a vehicle's current value based on the appraiser's training and experience and current market trends. A vehicle appraisal is typically done when buying, selling or insuring a classic, antique or custom car; to get a tax value for a charitable donation; when dividing property for an estate or divorce; or when a car owner disputes the amount offered by an insurance company after a car is damaged or totaled in a collision. An increasing number of classic cars are being sold online, with buyers using an appraisal/inspection to evaluate the vehicle before they actually see it. Typical costs: Car appraisals are available for $100-$500 or more, but a detailed appraisal that includes photos, a thorough inspection and a written report typically costs $175-$350, depending on location, travel time or if the vehicle is brought to the appraiser. For example, Classic Appraisals [ 1] in Wisconsin charges $175 if a classic car is brought to them or $225 to travel within the Milwaukee metropolitan area for a \"\"bumper to bumper analysis\"\" with several color pictures; body tag or VIN decoding (vehicle identification number, with digits that if correctly interpreted can identify where and when the vehicle was manufactured, and with which factory-issued features); factory production statistics; comparable sales; and general comments. Auto Appraise.com [ 2] , with appraisers in 48 states, charges $350 plus $65 an hour travel time for a detailed pre-purchase inspection including an initial and final consultation; 80-150 or more photos of the vehicle section-by-section; and written results from a test drive. Diminished Value of Georgia [ 3] charges $175 in the Atlanta area to appraise a totaled or stolen car and $225 for a diminished value appraisal of a vehicle that has been repaired to pre-accident condition. If the appraiser does not physically inspect the vehicle, the evaluation is technically not an appraisal but an assessment, which can cost $80-$125. For example, Diminished Value of Georgia [ 4] charges $95 for an assessment based on facts provided by the client and USA Auto Appraisers [ 5] in Nebraska offers a \"\"simple email auto appraisal\"\" for antique, classic or or custom automobiles for $99. Related articles: Used Car, Auto Painting, Car Insurance What should be included: A vehicle appraisal should include the date and location of the inspection, the date of the valuation, a full description of the vehicle, the methods used to establish value, the purpose of the appraisal, a description of the appraiser's qualifications and the appraiser's signature plus any certification or registration marks."

A home appraisal must be performed by a licensed appraiser who is knowledgeable about estimating the current value of a home.

"text": "Football 101: The Defensive Front Seven Posted by Eric Kennedy May172006There has been a lot of confusion on the part of fans, including myself, about some of the basic football terminology, formations, and tactics of defensive fronts in the NFL. I hope this primer on the subject will help clarify the subject somewhat. First, let’s start off with some basic terminology. Technique: A numerical identification system is used to describe where defensive linemen and possibly linebackers will line up against an offensive front (offensive linemen and tight ends). These numbers are referred to as techniques – a misnomer because the term does not really apply to an actual technique, but rather the position of the defensive player at the line of scrimmage. Coaches, scouts, players, and draftniks will often refer to defensive tackles as being a 1-technique or a 3-technique player. In these circumstances, they are usually describing a TYPE of player that is best suited to lining up in a 1-technique or 3-technique position. A defensive tackle lining up at the 0- or 1-technique is going to see a lot of double teams from the center and guard. Because of this, one-technique tackles are usually big, strong, and stout, but less athletic. The other tackle (or 3-technique tackle) is usually the quicker, more active penetrator."

Hardwick, who played center for the Chargers from 2004 to 2014, looked shockingly thin at today’s retirement announcement. Hardwick’s listed weight was 305 pounds, although according to Michael Gehlken of U-T San Diego, Hardwick had slimmed down to 293 pounds in September when the Chargers’ season began. Hardwick suffered a season-ending injury in Week One and decided to start focusing on his overall health, and so he watched what he ate and got good exercise over the course of the season. Today he weighs 208 pounds. The two photos you see here were taken less than five months apart: The first shows Hardwick today, and the second shows him on the field on September 8. It’s hard to believe they’re pictures of the same person, and it’s really hard to believe a person could lose that much weight over the course of one football season. Hardwick was a great player for the Chargers for a decade, but suffice to say no one’s going to be bugging him to change his mind about retirement. He’s now lighter than most high school offensive linemen. He’s a lot skinnier than any NFL offensive lineman."

Linemen typically learn their skills through a formal apprenticeship program that requires four years or more to complete. Fully trained linemen are referred to as journeymen or journey workers. A lineman's annual salary can be impacted by his geographic location and level of training. Electrician Wages The Bureau of Labor Statistics groups electrical linemen under the larger occupational category of electricians, which includes those who don't perform the specific duties of a lineman. The national median annual income for all electricians was $49,320 as of May 2011, according to the BLS. The middle 50 percent earned between $37,570 and $65,260 per year. The top 10 percent made at least $82,680 per year, while the bottom 10 percent earned annual wages of $30,390. The Dakota County Technical College website reports the average wage for electrical linemen to be significantly higher, at $31.19 per hour, giving full time linemen who worked a standard 2,080 hours per year annual wages of $64,875. Apprentice Lineman Wages Apprentice outside linemen are typically paid a percentage of a journeyman lineman's wages, based on how much of the apprenticeship program they have completed."

"text": "\"How to Play Center in Footballby STEVE SILVERMAN Sept. 11, 2017Playing center is one of the most important positions on the offensive line in football. The center starts every play by snapping the ball to the quarterback. This may seem simple when watching on television because the quarterback is lined up directly behind the center, but it is anything but since the snap must be delivered with the correct amount of pressure and to the right spot. He must also block powerful defensive linemen and linebackers and alert the other linemen if he believes the defense is going to blitz the quarterback. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Step 1Learn the correct position while maintaining balance and an athletic position--one hand on the ground, one hand on the ball with knees bent and the body poised to go forward as soon as you snap it. Your head must be held up and you must be able to look at the entire defensive line and the linebackers so you can let your fellow linemen know what is going on. These \"\"line calls\"\" are quite vital when it comes to protecting the quarterback. Step 2Snap the ball to the quarterback. He will either be directly behind you with his hands underneath your buttocks or he will be about 5 yards behind in the shotgun position. When he is lined up behind you, you must snap the ball quick and hard to the palm of his right hand (for a right-handed passer)."

When the offense is about to run a play that'll lead to crap, he audibles to a better play to run. Halfback: Runs the ball. He's generally small, quick, and agile. Although can also be large and strong. He's usually either the most elusive or the most powerful runner on the team, and he has the second-best field vision (next to the quarterback). When the quarterback is having a bad day, or the pass defense of the other team is good, you generally let your running back run the ball and pull the load.

"text": "\"An electrician specializes in the installation, operation, repair, and maintenance of electrical systems. These systems include wiring, circuit boards, and electronics. This profession is incredibly varied, and in some parts of the world it can pay very well, due to the three to five year training period required for an electrician to be successful. Consumers interact with the work of electricians every day in communities with electricity, and many people have a preferred electrician for electrical repair around homes and businesses. Some people like to distinguish between an electrician and a lineman, depending on regional nomenclature. In this sense, an electrician works on internal wiring in homes and other buildings, while a lineman works on outside electrical lines and in power generation facilities. Due to the much higher currents involved in this work, being a lineman can be very dangerous, especially when linemen are sent out to respond to downed power lines and other emergencies which can occur in inclement weather. When a structure is built, an electrician is an important part of the building team. He or she installs conduit in the walls as they are built for the purpose of running electrical wiring, and if built in heating and cooling systems are being installed, an electrician will also install vents and piping for these systems. As the house is finished, the electrician installs electrical sockets for the purpose of plugging in electrical equipment and installing light bulbs."

He’s really devoted to his job. Rain or shine, he’s committed to preventing system overloads. It’s really lonely work, and he misses his girlfriend. Does this sound like a hit to you? When Jimmy Webb wrote the first lines of “Wichita Lineman”…I am a lineman for the county and I drive the main road Searchin’ in the sun for another overload I hear you singin’ in the wire, I can hear you through the whine And the Wichita Lineman is still on the line… not only did he not think he had a surefire hit, he didn’t even think the song was finished. An inauspicious beginning for a song that sold millions of records for Glen Campbell, has been recorded by everyone from Johnny Cash to James Taylor to R. E. M., and appears on several lists of the greatest songs of all time. In late 1967 Jimmy was just about the hottest songwriter in L. A., based on two consecutive monster hits: The Fifth Dimension’s “Up, Up And Away,” and Glen Campbell’s “By The Time I Get To Phoenix.” “ Phoenix” had been on the charts for six months, although Jimmy and Glen still hadn’t met. “For all we know, ‘Phoenix’ could have been a one-off thing,” Jimmy told me recently. “"

City Light workers top $100,000 in overtime pay By Sharon Pian Chan Seattle Times staff reporter Related Seattle's top overtime, city workers (PDF) Overtime was so lucrative at Seattle City Light last year that 27 workers made at least $100,000 of it by working extra hours. Eleven of those workers topped $200,000 in total income. A shortage of skilled workers, construction projects around the city and damage from the December windstorm prompted the city-owned utility to rely on employee overtime — with some workers averaging 65 to 70 hours a week. Three line workers became the highest-paid employees in the city, based on city data, earning even more than City Light Superintendent Jorge Carrasco's 2006 salary of $224,019. In all, City Light paid out $25.4 million in overtime last year, more than double what it paid in 2005. \"\" We are concerned about it,\"\" Deputy Mayor Tim Ceis said. \"\" It raises some issues for us about productivity and worker safety when you work that many hours.

When you apply for the California-Nevada JATC Power Lineman Program you’ll be taking the first step to a career that not only has a tremendous impact on the people you serve, but one that will have a positive impact on your future as well. What is an Apprentice? Apprentice linemen assist the journeymen linemen in building and maintaining electrical power systems. The apprenticeship program at California-Nevada JATC combines supervised, structured on-the-job training with related classroom instruction to prepare you for skilled employment within the industry. Because you are working and learning at the same time, apprentices are considered full-time employees. Wages are paid to you during the on-the-job phase of training. Wages increase as progress is made in the program. A Department of Labor registered apprenticeship requires a signed, written agreement (indenture) between the program and apprentice. You agree to perform the work faithfully with diligence and to complete the related course study."

Report abuse Transcript of Nurse Practitioner and Hospital Privileges History of Hospital Privileges • Credentialing and privileging were originally applicable only to physicians. • In the 1970s, Oregon was the first state to allow CNMs, and then NPs, hospital privileges. The law stated that NPs were subject to the credentialing institution’s bylaws and that a hospital could limit the scope of practice, require monitoring by physicians, or require that NPs co-admit with a physician. Since that time, many states have enacted similar legislation. • In 1983, the Joint Commission opened medical staff membership to non-physician health care professionals, including APRNs, whom the Commission referred to as “limited license practitioners.” • When specialization of physician practice and board certification gained acceptance and hospital accreditation became the norm, the need for a more specialized privileging process also arose. What does it mean to have hospital privileges?? Credentialing and privileging are two administrative processes that are intended to ensure that practitioners have the necessary qualifications to direct the clinical care provided to patients in hospitals. Hospital privileges, which used to be a simple matter, can now include a list of hundreds of diagnostic and treatment procedures."

However, current restrictions on nurse practitioners, particularly prescription regulations for controlled substances, limit what practitioners can do for patients. These restrictions also increase wait times for patients and have the potential to increase liability claims as physicians prescribe medications for patients they have not adequately evaluated. Nurse practitioners have proven to be a safe, quality, and cost saving approach to primary care. To meet the growing needs for patients, nurse practitioners must have the ability to prescribe controlled substances in all 50 states. The passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) will provide many more Americans access to health care. The ACA will reduce the cost of receiving health care, while also enabling uninsured Americans access to insurance and more affordable healthcare. The Act will \"\"promote prevention, wellness, and the public health\"\" (Legislative Counsel, 2010, p. 463). Although the ACA will increase accessibility to primary care and prevention of diseases, there must be an adequate number of healthcare providers who can see these patients. The Association of American Medical Colleges estimates a shortage of 46,000 primary care physicians by the year 2025 (Rouston, 2010)."

"text": "When determining which type of advanced nursing degree to obtain, the acronyms alone can be overwhelming. If you know that you want to advance your nursing education to further your career, it is important that you choose a track that will help you to achieve your professional goals. Depending on what those goals are, you may want to study to be a Nurse Practitioner (NP), or to generally pursue a degree as an Advance Practice Registered Nurse (APRN). To explain simply, an NP is a type of APRN. An Advanced Practice Registered Nurse is a nurse who has obtained at least a Master’s Degree in Nursing. Further specialization within in the APRN category includes Nurse Practitioners, as well as Certified Nurse-Midwives, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists, and Clinical Nurse Specialists. Because an APRN may work in any of these specialties, it is impossible to say what type of work environment or special skills cover the entire profession. APRNs may work in virtually any healthcare setting including hospital, ambulatory clinics, or long-term care facilities. However, we can say that many Nurse Practitioners work in private practice, often with their own office or under the supervision of a family physician. NPs also commonly work in community clinics serving diverse and underserved populations."

Great nurses are highly in-demand and needed at every level in the healthcare industry. Thus, becoming a nursing major prepares you for a wide variety of professional opportunities in health-related fields. Regardless of where they work, nurses must be compassionate, responsible, and detail-oriented. They must be willing to take control of stressful situations and to ask for assistance when necessary. Nurses should also possess an emotional stability that enables them to handle emergency situations and to be engaged with emotional and physical suffering, illness, and injury. Nursing degrees help provide these future healthcare professionals with the faculties of sound judgment, enabling them to assess and evaluate the conditions of patients. Those who are natural leaders and are able to manage teams of other nurses can advance their careers into leadership roles.

Nurses have been working in schools since the 1800s, when their main job was to identify and quarantine people with communicable diseases. Today their primary responsibility is to provide care and health counseling to students and staff, a community that includes those with chronic illnesses, disabilities and mental health conditions such as ADHD and autism spectrum disorders. SHOW ME SCHOOLS »According to federal law, schools must develop individualized education plans that establish learning goals and guarantee appropriate accommodations for students with disabilities. School nurses are the professionals who develop and implement these health plans, dispense medications and show teachers how to administer the necessary care. School nurses also play an important role in curriculum development. They work with educators to set developmentally appropriate learning standards for health and physical education programs and serve as resources for faculty who are teaching health-related content. As valued members of the educational team, they work in close, collegial relationships with teachers, administrators and community stakeholders to improve learning and increase access to counseling and health care services. Because students in emotional distress often present with complaints of illness, nurses are in a unique position to note patterns of conflict and other stressors that impact school life."

Since nurses can only practice in the state in which they apply for a license, it may be very difficult for them to achieve this dream. What is the Nursing Compact Agreement? The Nurse Compact Agreement or Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) is an agreement that allows Licensed Vocational Nurses/Practical Nurses (LVNs/LPNs) and Registered Nurses (RNs) to hold a multi-state license to practice nursing. The original license is in the home state (state of residency), but nurse can practice in other remote states (compact states). Each nurse is subject to the discipline and laws of the practicing state. For example, North Dakota is a compact state, but Louisiana is not. A nurse that has a compact license in North Dakota could not use that same license to practice nursing in Louisiana; they would have to apply for a separate license to practice nursing in Louisiana."

All nurses with an active Texas license are required to demonstrate continuing competency for relicensure. This aligns with the mission of the Board of Nursing (BON or Board) to protect and promote the welfare of the people of Texas by ensuring that each person holding a license as a nurse in the State of Texas is competent to practice safely. In 1991, rules were adopted requiring nurses to complete 20 contact hours of continuing nursing education (CNE) every two years for relicensure. CNE is defined as programs beyond the basic nursing preparation that are designed to promote and enrich knowledge, improve skills, and develop attitudes for the enhancement of nursing practice, thus improving health care to the public [ Board Rule 216.1 (12) ]. In 2009, rules were adopted to allow nurses to demonstrate competency through achievement of an approved national nursing certification in the nurse’s area of practice or completion of 20 contact hours of CNE. In 2010, the rules were changed requiring that the CNE be relevant to the nurse’s “area of practice.” “ Area of practice” is defined as including any activity, assignment, or task performed by the nurse that utilizes nursing knowledge, judgement, or skills [ Board Rule 216.1 (4) ]."

Landscape architects often work with contractors, builders and architectural firms on collaborative projects. The design of the exterior space has a huge impact on the feel and utility of a building, adding or detracting from the design. In order to become a landscape architect, you will need to complete post-secondary education in landscape architecture from an accredited university, community or career college. These programs are typically three to four years in length and provide training on design elements, water distribution and environmental impact of design. Many people learn landscape architecture to fulfill a dream and passion for nature. A typical landscape architect’s day can be divided into two main elements: design and implementation. Landscape architects work with a wide range of clients, ranging from private individuals to local governments. Many landscape architects are self-employed, with connections or relationships with several architect firms. The design aspect is typically initiated by a request for a quotation or design."

Anything from a small neighborhood park to Yellowstone National Park qualifies as a park. Parks managers oversee the maintenance and operations of these parks. Not only do parks vary greatly in size, they also vary in the governments that administer them. Parks managers are employed at all levels of government. The National Parks Service within the US Department of the Interior runs national parks. The individual in charge of a national park is called the superintendent; however this article primarily focuses on parks managers at the state and local levels. States have agencies similar to the National Parks Service that operate state parks. Cities and counties also have parks within their jurisdictions. When a city or county has parks, it usually has a parks and recreation department within its organizational structure that is led by a parks and recreation director."

"text": "The 11 Most Important Genres of i Phone Photography Posted by Emil Pakarklis | January 2, 2014 Comments 44Some time ago a reader emailed me asking to write a blog post about the different genres of i Phone photography. While I immediately loved the idea, I also realized that nobody can be an expert in all genres of i Phoneography, and approaching photographers from each genre would be the only way to create this post. After weeks of work by me and so many others, I’m super excited to publish tips for all the different genres of i Phone photography. Photo by Kevin Russ Architecture Photography – Chris Stern Architecture can be interpreted in many different ways such as seeing it as part of architecture landscape and how one building compares to another through old vs new or through a minimalist view of lines, curves or symmetry. Architecture photography is different from other styles of i Phoneography in the sense that you are focusing on one subject such as a building which is more isolated than other genres such as street photography where you are focusing on a scene where you are trying to capture emotion. Architecture Photography Tips1. Look at works of others who enjoy photographing architecture as there are many different styles to choose from.2. Don’t be afraid to experiment in different styles of architecture photography. This will help in defining what you love to capture.3. Experiment with post processing as it takes time to define your style."

According the statistics reported by the United States Department of Labor, the employment rate for landscape architects is projected to increase by 5% between now and 2024. Populations around the globe are expanding, and these growing populations are creating a need for development while the strain of development on the natural environment and resources is creating a need for trained individuals capable of balancing both facets without causing detriment to one or the other. Landscape architects are included among the professionals responsible for managing the two. The landscape architect works in collaboration with other professionals to create functional designs. However, while other professionals are concerned with the practicality of the project, it is the responsibility of the landscape architect to create a beautiful project design, like some of these top beautiful schools, while ensuring the continued sustainability of the natural resources and ecology of the area being developed. Landscape architecture has become one of the premier occupations of today; ranking among the best professions to enter. Providing the opportunity to contribute to the protection of the environment and natural resources while performing an essential service, the field is both challenging and fulfilling. The profession requires individuals with skills in creativity, science, problem solving, collaboration and an aptitude for technology. Individuals entering the profession will require knowledge and training in a vast array of disciplines and subject areas."

"text": "\"�Landscape Design: Ten Important Things to Consider 1Gail Hansen de Chapman 2When designing a residential landscape, the most important step is to put a plan on paper. Developing a master plan will save you time and money and is more likely to result in a successful design. A master plan is developed through the 'design process': a step-by-step method that considers the environmental conditions, your desires, and the elements and principles of design. The goal is to organize the natural and man-made features in your yard into an aesthetic, functional, and environmentally sustainable landscape. The Design Process The five steps of the design process include: 1) conducting a site inventory and analysis, 2) determining your needs, 3) creating functional diagrams, 4) developing conceptual design plans, and 5) drawing a final design plan. The first three steps establish the aesthetic, functional, and horticultural requirements for the design. The last two steps then apply those requirements to the creation of the final landscape plan. The process begins with a site inventory and analysis of soil, drainage, climate conditions, and existing vegetation. This is a critical step for both plant selection and placement and locating family activities and functions. It's important because the same climate conditions that affect the plants—temperature, humidity, rain, wind, and sunlight—also affect you, the user."

As an architect, you'd design the interiors and exteriors of buildings where people live, work, shop and play. In accomplishing this objective, architects first discuss the requirements and desires of the job with the client in order to prepare preliminary estimates of costs and feasibility of the project. They then prepare structural specifications and create scaled drawings along with appropriate building contracts. Using the contracts, work contractors are secured. The architect then manges the actual construction to ensure compliance with the architectural plans. The following chart provides an overview about this career."

Landscape architects come up with the best possible layout for their landscape designs and ensure all project requirements are met. Some of their primary responsibilities include: Designing all kinds of outdoor spaces, like parks and home yards Analyzing the environmental impact of projects Evaluating the usability of outdoor areas, such as considering how an area blends with the natural environment On the other hand, civil engineers may work with landscape architects for some projects, but civil engineers work on a much wider range of projects beyond landscaping, including: Designing, building, and managing major transportation projects Working with local, state, and federal agencies to obtain permits Ensuring projects meet all regulations Landscape Architect Job Duties Landscape architects' duties involve the planning and initial development of public locales.

Sixty-nine universities currently offer 51 MLA and 44 BLA programs accredited by the Landscape Architectural Accreditation Board. LAAB is a specialized agency that accredits educational programs leading to first professional degrees at the bachelor's and master's levels. There are two undergraduate professional degrees. These usually require four or five years of study in design, construction techniques, art, history, and natural and social sciences: Bachelor of Landscape Architecture (BLA-eligible for accreditation)Bachelor of Science in Landscape Architecture (BSLA-eligible for accreditation)There are two types of accredited graduate-degree programs: The three-year Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA) option is for those who hold an undergraduate degree in a field other than landscape architecture and intend to become landscape architecture practitioners. A five or five-plus Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA) is for those who do not have an undergraduate degree. Other, non-accredited programs are also offered, such as the MA/MS in Landscape Architecture for those who want to conduct research in landscape architecture but do not seek to be registered professionals; programs by schools that are candidates for accreditation; and certificate programs. How does a landscape architect become licensed? Landscape architects are licensed in all 50 states plus the District of Columbia. Each state sets its own requirements for licensure and the licensing process is administered by the state licensing board."

"text": "\"Article updated on February 14, 2018This article demonstrates array formulas that search for cell values containing a search string and returns corresponding values on the same row. The functions used in most of the formulas on this web page are the SEARCH and FIND functions. They return a number based on the position of a text string in a value, see cell E3 on picture above. If the text string is not found the functions return #VALUE! error. \"\" fox\"\" is found at character 7 in value \"\"a red fox\"\", see picture below. The SEARCH function is case-insensitive and the FIND function is case-sensitive. You can replace these functions with each other if you are looking for a case-sensitive formula or vice versa. The magic starts when you enter the formula as an array formula, this allows you to search an entire cell range for text strings.

The average is calculated by adding a range of numbers together and then dividing this total by the number of values in the range. An example would be (2+3+4+5+6) / 5 which gives an unweighted average of 4. In Excel, such calculations are easily carried out using the AVERAGE function. A weighted average, on the other hand, considers one or more numbers in the range to be worth more, or have a greater weight than the other numbers. For example, certain marks in school, such as midterm and final exams, are usually worth more than regular tests or assignments. If averaging is used to calculate a student's final mark the midterm and final exams would be given a greater weight. In Excel, weighted averages can be calculated using the SUMPRODUCT function. How the SUMPRODUCT Function Works What SUMPRODUCT does is multiply the elements of two or more arrays and then add or sum the products."

In this article we will take a look at the syntax of an array formula, its various parts, learn how to write a basic array formula and then graduate on to writing the more powerful versions of it. Before we begin, let us first understand what an “array” means – a construct at the very core of array formulas. What is an Array ? An array in Excel is simply a range of cells. Given below are a few examples of arrays in Excel. Arrays in Excel can be classified as single dimensional or two dimensional. Single dimensional arrays in turn can be horizontal or vertical.

In this chapter you will significantly expand on that foundation with looping code structures and arrays. Loops and arrays are fundamental to all programming languages; they expand the capabilities of a program significantly and make them easier to write. You’ll begin this chapter by looking at the different looping structures available in VBA before moving on to arrays. Specifically, this chapter will cover:§ Do loops§ For loops§ Input validation§ Arrays§ Multi-dimensional arrays§ Dynamic arrays§ Recording macros Looping with VBAProgram looping is the repetition of a specific block of code a specified number of times. The number of times the block of code is repeated may be well defined or based on a conditional statement. All computer languages have looping structures because these structures are excellent at solving problems that would otherwise require repetitive code. Imagine a program that had to search for a specific name in a column of data with one hundred entries. A program with one hundred If/Then statements testing the value property of each cell for the required name will solve the problem. The program would be technically easy to create, but it would be a pain to type in all that repetitive code and it would look awful."

A single worksheet in Excel 2007 can contain over 1,000 times as many cells as earlier versions. In earlier versions of Excel, many people created slow-calculating worksheets, and larger worksheets usually calculate more slowly than smaller ones. With the Excel 2007 \"\"Big Grid,\"\" performance really matters: Slow calculation makes it more difficult for users to concentrate, and it increases errors. Excel 2007 introduces a number of features to help you handle this capacity increase, such as the ability to use more than one processor at a time for calculations. This can substantially reduce worksheet calculation time. However, the most important factor that influences Excel calculation speed is still the way your worksheet is designed and built. You can modify most slow-calculating worksheets to calculate tens, hundreds, or even thousands of times faster."

A typo or misprint in the lookup value It's always a good idea to check the most obvious thing first : ) Misprints frequently occur when you are working with really large data sets consisting of thousands of rows, or when a lookup value is typed directly in the formula.2. # N/A in approximate match VLOOKUPIf you are using a formula with approximate match (range_lookup argument set to TRUE or omitted), your Vlookup formula might return the #N/A error in two cases: If the lookup value is smaller than the smallest value in the lookup array."

You can refer to the driller's log or use of an older cleanout pump to determine flow rate. How I Use of an older cleanout pump to determine the well flow rate? Never use a new pump for this service. After cleanout pump operates for 30 minutes at free flow, fill a 5-gallon bucket and make a note of the time it takes to reach capacity. If at any time during the 30 minutes of free flow water fails to flow, pump should be turned off immediately.

"text": "After Your Well Goes Dry-What Can Be Done In my corner of Northern Virginia there seem to be a slew of well failures lately-maybe more than usual or maybe it just seems that way. There was no snow melt this year and we flirted with drought all summer. Even if an aquifer is sound a well may fail. In a well, a diminished water supply is characterized by a short period of adequate water in the morning (or after resting the well for hours or days) and then almost a complete loss of water. Another typical symptom is loss of water after doing a load of laundry. ( A top loading washing machine uses about 51 gallons of water and a front loader uses 27 gallons.) What is happening is overnight the well bore hole is filling with as much water as it can still produce and the pressure tank gets filled- a tenth of a gallon a minute will still be able to fill the pressure tank overnight and give you enough water for a bit of a wash up (depending on whether you have low flow toilets, sinks and showers). This low flow to the well can be caused by drop in water level in the well due to drought or over pumping of the aquifer, or the well could be failing due to a buildup of dirt, sediment and gravel reducing the flow to the well. There are times that the steel casing that lines the first 40-60 feet of a well does not extend deep enough and the well walls crumble over time filling the well with dirt and gravel. One or more of these factors could be the cause of a well problem."

These Constant Pressure Pumps use computerized controllers, also known as Variable Frequency Drives or VFD’s, and are designed to separate people from as much of their hard earned money as possible. Many government agencies, electric utility companies, engineers, manufacturers, suppliers, and installers are either part of the scam, or just caught up in the lies themselves. Government agencies and power utilities want you to believe they are trying to help you save energy and money. Manufacturers, suppliers, and even some installers wish to sell you equipment that cost a lot and doesn’t last very long. Many engineers want to vary the speed of the pump because it is easier, or they don’t know how to properly design and size a pump system. Make no mistake about it, most are lying about VFD’s to line their own pockets. These Variable Speed type pumps do not save energy, and do not make pumps last longer. To the contrary, varying the speed of these type pumps can increase the energy used by as much as 500% per gallon produced. Likewise, varying the speed increases the heat in motors, causes excessive vibration, and shortens the life of motors from other undue stresses."

"text": "Frequently Asked Questions How much does it cost to drill a well? Answer: Every region has geologic and hydrological conditions, which greatly affect well construction. Depths vary, and methods of construction vary. Even specific site conditions can influence the price. Do not be fooled by a contractor who simply offers a per foot price. We all tend to offer a per foot price, plus additional items like the permit, the screen, and numerous other breakout items for all the potential issues that may surface. One must be wary of the contractor with a quote written on the proverbial napkin. Insist on a detailed proposal, and try to solicit more than one quote. Carefully examine the proposals and attempt to get everyone to quote apples to apples. Try to get the competing companies to estimate the depth in which they would expect to drill at your location."

Under the direction of sculptor Gutzon Borglum, 400 workers labored through hot summers and cold winters to create the sculpture, nearly 500 feet up the side of the mountain. More than 90 percent of the mountain was carved using dynamite. The fine details of the faces were achieved with a jackhammer. Operators hung from the top of the mountain in bosun chairs held by steel cables. Despite the dangerous work, during the 14 years of construction, not a single person died. The memorial was officially declared complete on October 31, 1941. However, Gutzon Borglum’s vision was not totally completed – original plans included head-to-waist depictions of the presidents."

[Drilling]One of the rig crew members who gets his name from the fact that he works on a platform attached to the derrick or mast, typically 85 ft [26 m] above the rig floor, during trips. On small land drilling crews, the derrickman is second in rank to the driller. Larger offshore crews may have an assistant driller between the derrickman and the driller. In a typical trip out of the hole (TOH), the derrickman wears a special safety harness that enables him to lean out from the work platform (called the monkeyboard) to reach the drillpipe in the center of the derrick or mast, throw a line around the pipe and pull it back into its storage location (the fingerboards) until it is time to run the pipe back into the well. In terms of skill, physical exertion and perceived danger, a derrickman has one of the most demanding jobs on the rig crew. Some modern drilling rigs have automated pipe-handling equipment such that the derrickman controls the machinery rather than physically handling the pipe. In an emergency, the derrickman can quickly reach the ground by an escape line often called the Geronimo line .

At a public hearing this week in Nebraska, there's sure to be plenty of talk about the environmental impact of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline that will bring oil from Hardisty, Alberta through Montana, South Dakota and Nebraska to Steele City and then on to Gulf Coast refineries. But the real environmental debate begins hundreds of miles north where the oil comes from, in Fort Mc Murray, Alberta—the unofficial capital of oil sands country. At the end of March, I visited the oil sands operations. What sticks in my mind weeks later is the vastness…the vastness of the Alberta forest beneath which lies most of Canada's oil reserves—the third largest in the world—and vastness of the oil mining operations surrounding Fort Mc Murray whether it's Syncrude, Suncor or Shell. They are big industrial operations in an even bigger forest.

Check valves permit water flow in one direction only and generally are recommended for all submersible pump installations. Their purpose is to prevent the water in the column above the pump and in the pressure tank from draining back into the well when the pump shuts off. Some submersible pumps have built-in check valves and are suitable for operation without an external check valve, provided the pump setting is not too deep. Consult your pump manufacturer concerning proper application and installation. Spring loaded, stem or cage poppet style check valves should be used with submersible pumps. They are designed to close quickly as the water flow stops and begins to move in a reverse direction. Swing type check valves should not be used. When tile pump stops, there is a sudden reversal of flow before the swing check closes, causing a sudden change in tile velocity of tile water and a water hammer. It is important to choose and install a check valve correctly to help ensure a trouble-free water system."

But the state license for well drilling companies is no guarantee that any particular water well driller in Lake County FL is doing business ethically, providing real value, or satisfying customers. This makes it all the more significant that all well drilling contractors in Lake County FL who bear The Prime Buyer's Report-TOP 10 symbol have been cleared by our research staff as passing all the requirements for Prime Buyer's Report-TOP 10 status such as survey phone calls to previous customers to verify high satisfaction, good complaint record, verified state license, verified liability and workers comp insurance for your protection, only employees legal to work in the U. S., and more. Costs of well drilling contractors in Lake County FL Before preparing a bid, well drilling companies should be learning as much as possible about your property, other wells in the region, local regulations, and your intended use of the water well. A well drilling contractor who prepares a bid without this assessment is unlikely to determine the right cost and equipment necessary to do your project correctly and on time. Many other things will determine final cost such as the type of well, the well drilling method used, choices in materials such as steel well casing versus plastic, etc. Those variables can mean that a bid that seems cheaper really isn't because it's not bidding on the exact same things as another."

Share your review. By Linda M. - Posted on: September 7, 2013I needed to purchase a TV for this particular day to have for the upcoming weekend so I went online and found one. I then went to store to see what they had in the store but didn't see a deal like the one I saw online..so while in the store at 2500 W. 95th, Evergreen Park, Illinois I placed the order online with the help of a store associate (in electronics) and it stated that this was a same day pick up and I was told by the associate that I would be notified via my email when it arrives for pick up. I got the email that it was ready for pick up and when I get to the store (at 5:10 pm) to pick it up I was told that they didn't have it and that it should not have been a same day pick up and that it should have been a site to store instead...so I said okay just give me my money back so I could go somewhere else to purchase me a tv that day.. I was told that I had to wait 5 days for the monies to be credited back to my debit card.. I told them \"\"no way\"\" and that I needed my monies back now and since it was debited they should be able to give me my monies back.. I then ask for a manager they called a CSS and after I had explained to her the situation she ask if I would except another tv in the store to accommodate me and I said that I would..she left for a few minutes and then another CSS came and told me that they couldn't do it..so again I ask for my monies back..she ask the associate to assist me but the associate said she couldn't so the CSS left and when she came back she said she couldn't do anything for me..so I ask for the store manager and was told that she was in a meeting so I told her that I would wait and she said that she would leave word that I was waiting to speak with her..after about a hour I ask one the associate for the store manager's name, she gave me her name (Stacy) and she told me that she (the store manager Stacy)had left for the day.. I ask for the Corporate Office number and was given 1-800-WALMART, I called and explained to the person the entire situation, she told me that she would get me a head manager at this particular store..after about 15 mins. she calls me and tells me that she was unsuccessful in getting me a manager and she gives me a 1-800-966-6546 to call.. (I'm still in the store and the CSS'S see me and they are aware that I'm still waiting)... so I go on and call the number that was given to me and I wait 20 mins."

For the past nine years, Sellers has worked as a Walmart cashier in Paramount, California. On November 23, the busiest shopping day of the year in the United States, while most television hosts were asking so-called \"\"shopping experts\"\" how to beat the crowds to get the best deals, Sellers and eight others were being arrested outside of the Paramount store for sitting in the middle of the street and refusing to move.

Exciting and scary at the same time,\"\" says Sellers. \"\" I'm fighting for every working person in this country.

"text": "Department manager does a variety of things. They do not, however, have the power to fire/hire employees. They will often do interviews, but it's ultimately up to the assistant manager whether someone is hired or not. Generally, Zone Merchandise Managers (ZMS) do the interviewing. Here's a list of some of the major things that department managers do: 1) price changes 2) order merchandise that is out of stock that is not manually ordered by the system 3) create features 4) train new employees (but this is not always true, either) 5) make on hand changes 6) set new mods (usually they go overnight for a week in order to do this) 7) RASPF (I think that's the acronym), which is basically going through a mod and making certain that the shelf caps are correct and, if not, changing the shelf cap in the system and printing new labels - this is an extremely tedious job that could take almost all day 8) maintaining a clean/orderly department 9) change on hands to minimize exception merchandise that comes back in the morning 10) completing 5-week bin reports (pulling deleted/inactive/NRPL items out of the bins to put on clearance on the floor) Department managers have to work with their ZMS much of the time in deciding features for the department and if you're in the Housewares/Domestics or Garden Center area, this includes maintaining the seasonal hot spot. In addition to that, department managers must also, to a certain extent, maintain control of their employees and be comfortable giving them tasks so that the department manager is able to perform their tasks. In addition, they must complete notes from their assistant manager, shift manager, store manager, and after a walk, the regional manager, as well . Some of these tasks the department manager must complete themselves, but in many cases, they are able to designate these tasks to their employees. If a department manager does not have a good relationship with their employees or is not respected, they usually end up having a harder time and less time to get their own notes done.74.2k Views · View Upvoters · Answer requested by John Patrick Schay Your response is private.

Not only did I work there once, but I liked the job so much that I actually returned for three more tours of duty during college. About six months before I started, a Walmart opened near my hometown to fanfare from a number of residents and scorn from a majority of local businesses. When my summer job ended, I decided to apply to Walmart. The first thing you notice is the application: it's time consuming and actually difficult. I sat at a kiosk in the store for about an hour filling out a questionnaire which mainly was intended to see how I would react in certain situations that employees would face, such as confrontations with coworkers and observing theft. Soon after, I got a call back for an interview, which was also surprisingly grueling. I passed and was soon onboard as an associate in the automotive department, starting around $9 per hour. But before I hit the sales floor, I spent the majority of my first few days in the training room on computer terminals, learning proper store practices."

Requirements for the position generally include strong communication skills, organizational ability, and computer skills. Attention to detail, data analysis, report preparation, and phone skills are other job requirements. The educational requirements for this position are established by the specific employer, and range from a high school diploma to a graduate degree. The role of the assistant project manager is to support the project manager or project director. Whereas a project manager may address and make decisions about the larger project-related issues, the assistant generally deals with the project details. In a business environment, for example, the assistant manager may make follow up phone calls to clients, take minutes in meetings, and analyze project data. Given close familiarity with the company’s projects, the assistant may also fill in for the project manager when he is out sick or on vacation. An assistant project manager’s specific duties often vary greatly depending on the industry and work environment."

IMPLEMENTING THE RECOMMENDATIONS: STRATEGIES FOR DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE AGENCIES 1REFERENCESSUMMARYThis chapter defines natural hazards and their relationship to natural resources (they are negative resources), to environment (they are an aspect of environmental problems), and to development (they are a constraint to development and can be aggravated by it). The chapter demonstrates that the means of reducing the impact of natural hazards is now available. The factors that influence susceptibility to vulnerability reduction-the nature of the hazard, the nature of the study area, and institutional factors-are discussed. The core of the chapter explains how to incorporate natural hazard management into the process of integrated development planning, describing the process used by the OAS-Study Design, Diagnosis, Action Proposals, Implementation-and the hazard management activities associated with each phase. The chapter goes on to show how the impact of natural hazards on selected economic sectors can be reduced using energy, tourism, and agriculture as examples."

There is so much competition for jobs right now and little job growth in many industries. That is why it is important to find a career track that is growing and not contracting. So, what are the best jobs in America? That question can be difficult to answer. You need to consider the best potential for job growth, pay, stress level, job satisfaction, and other factors. I thought it would be most helpful to look at these jobs by their broader career fields. Let’s take a look at ten of the best career fields to work in over the next 10 years based on all of these factors.10 Best Career Fields in Demand1.

Tell Me About Your Leadership Skills Behavioral interview questions are standard now for companies in all industries — especially Fortune 500 companies. These behavioral questions (“Tell me about a time…”) probe for examples of how candidates have demonstrated desired competencies in the past. Of the many competencies that come up in behavioral interviews, leadership ability is one of the most common (I would rank it as #2 most popular after the teamwork question). In fact, I know of one highly-regarded company that bases their entire interview process on leadership behavioral questions — for positions at all levels within the organization. You might think that leadership questions are only relevant for management positions, but that’s a common misconception. Most companies are looking for people with leadership potential even when hiring for entry-level positions. I recommend that every job seeker prepare at least one example of a leadership experience and get comfortable speaking about it in an interview situation. It doesn’t necessarily have to be an on-the-job leadership role. Recent grads can speak about leadership experience gained through volunteering, hobbies, clubs, and academic projects."

"text": "\"United States: Non-Attest Services — New Rules and Proposals Last Updated: January 19 2005 Article by Steven Berger Vedder, Price P. C. Engagement Letters Required Under the matrix of Federal and state regulations applicable to the accounting profession, accountants are now confronted with making material adjustments in the ways they conduct their business. Non-attest services generate significant revenues for accountants, but they also raise significant potential professional risks. While Interpretation 101-3 under the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct, by its terms, applies only to the provision of non-attest services for attest clients, its substantive provisions will most likely be considered a \"\"best practice\"\" for all accountants who provide non-attest services for any client. The performance of non-attest services for an SEC audit client of an accounting firm is strictly limited by Federal securities laws. Item 2-01 (c) of Regulation S-X lists the non-attest services which, if performed for an issuer by the issuer’s audit firm, will impair the audit firm’s independence under the securities laws. Furthermore, any non-audit services must be preapproved by the public issuer’s audit committee, and must be documented by a written agreement between the issuer and the accountant. This article will not focus specifically on permissible non-attest services for SEC audit clients under applicable Federal securities laws, but will, instead, focus on the broader applicability of Interpretation 101-3. Under the AICPA Code of Conduct and applicable state laws and regulations, the performance of non-attest services for any attest client has the potential to impair the independence of the auditor in its attest engagement. Compliance with Interpretation 101-3 creates at least a plausible defense, if not a safe harbor, against an attack on independence resulting from the performance of nonattest services. General Requirements for Non-Attest Services Accountants are required to comply with the most restrictive rules on independence to which they are subject."

"text": "A project assistant usually helps a project manager or a project director with the duties necessary to execute a job. In most cases, this includes clerical and administrative functions. The project assistant might also attend meetings and will likely be responsible for answering questions in the project manager 's absence. Depending on the size of the project, the assistant may be dedicated to a single job and project manager or might assist more than one manager on more than one project simultaneously. The core of a project assistant's job generally revolves around clerical and administrative duties. Most projects rely heavily on files and spreadsheets, including time lines, budgets and task lists. Keeping these updated, communicating the updates and documenting changes are a critical part of project management and are duties that generally fall to the assistant when there is one. Many companies have specific requirements regarding what must be documented and what must be kept in physical files. Other types of paperwork often fall to the project assistant as well. This can include requesting and filing insurance forms and permits, filling out purchase orders and more."

If you are a tenant in multifamily housing, you cannot take the subsidy someplace else. It stays with the development. The ownership may be for-profit or nonprofit. Owners receive subsidies from the government to lower the cost of their mortgages or to rehabilitate existing housing or build new apartments. In exchange, they are required to set aside a certain percentage of apartments as affordable for low- and moderate-income people. Most multifamily developments are mixed income housing. This means that some apartments are subsidized and some are market-rate apartments. Sometimes, however, all of the apartments are subsidized. Multifamily housing may also be subsidized by more than one program."

However, Washington D. C. does not. Does Medicaid pay for adult day care? In a word, Yes. However, a better question might be under what circumstances will Medicaid pay for adult day care and is my loved one eligible? To answer this question requires some background information about Medicaid. First it is important to think of Medicaid not as a single program but rather a collection of many different programs. Not only does each state have their own rules with regards to Medicaid's benefits, but each state typically has several different Medicaid programs, all of which have their own policies for adult day care coverage. Finally, the target group of the Medicaid program also impacts eligibility. As an example, seniors must meet one set of eligibility criteria, adults 18-64 a second set and the developmentally disabled, a third set."

Such problems as what products/systems to develop, should capacity be expanded, or should a computer be purchased are just a few of an endless number of continuing problems about which management must concern itself if the firm is to survive. These problems and their alternative solutions establish some elements of change around which the organization must adapt. Projects are generally established to carry out these changes and someone is always responsible for each project's successful completion. [ 11]Every project is unique in terms of the problems that arise, the priorities and resources assigned it, the environment in which it operates, and the project manager's attitude and style used to guide and control project activities. Therefore, the organizational structure for the project must be designed to fit within that project's operating constraints. The organizational structure implemented may not be the same structure used throughout the life cycle of the project due to changes in priorities, available resource, project personnel, laws, and other contingencies. Regardless of the project management structure chosen, management must realize that a dynamic state of equilibrium between limited personnel and financial resources and the objectives of the project will be necessary if project management is to be successful in their particular organization. [ 11] Before touching on the major tools and techniques of project management, let's get to the bottom of what project management truly is. Later, I will list the benefits that the tools and techniques of project management bring to the systems analysis process."

"text": "How Audio Compressors Work A compressor is a very important item to have in your sound system arsenal, especially in a church or worship environment. A compressor is a device that controls the dynamic range of your input (guitar, vocals, piano, bass, etc…). When engineering sound for a church, you will note the dynamic differences that each song and song style may be. For this reasons, compressors come in handy big time. They can be used to add some extra punch to the instrument/mix; as well as some back bone to some looser sounding instruments, like the bass drum or piano. Also, a compressor can add sustain to instruments like guitar, or vocals. This can help enhance the realism of the signal. Setting up compressors can be a little confusing, but after you understand all of the required elements a little more you should have no problem.

Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 5:45“Should I use a buss compressor on my mix ?” That’s a question I get asked a lot, and as a mastering engineer, I’m conflicted about what advice to give. The follow-up, “should it be single or multi-band ?” is easier to answer, though. First of all: Why would you use a buss compressor over your whole mix anyway ? This post started out as a comment on The Recording Revolution about buss compression, and Graham’s video from that post (above) gives a good explanation. He’s pretty clear that you should compress your whole mix, and the truth is that almost all “name” engineers in the pop, rock and indie genres, will slap an SSL or similar buss compressor over the mix as one of the first things they do when setting up a mix. Simple, right ?"

A signal in blue and the magnitude of its analytic signal in red, showing the envelope effect An envelope detector is an electronic circuit that takes a high-frequency signal as input and provides an output which is the envelope of the original signal. The capacitor in the circuit stores up charge on the rising edge, and releases it slowly through the resistor when the signal falls. The diode in series rectifies the incoming signal, allowing current flow only when the positive input terminal is at a higher potential than the negative input terminal. Most practical envelope detectors use either half-wave or full-wave rectification of the signal to convert the AC audio input into a pulsed DC signal. Filtering is then used to smooth the final result. This filtering is rarely perfect and some \"\"ripple\"\" is likely to remain on the envelope follower output, particularly for low frequency inputs such as notes from a bass guitar."

Read all about Ethan's book, The Audio Expert. It's a rare studio indeed that doesn't suffer from some amount of humming and buzzing noises. If you're lucky the problem occurs with just one or two pieces of equipment. But more often than not, there is a constant low-level hum that is clearly audible when you turn up your monitors. This article will address some common causes of hum, and describe ways to reduce it or even eliminate it entirely. I will also explain AC power line filters, and show how to replace noisy solid-state light dimmers with electrically quiet variable transformers. HUM 101Hum derives from the fundamental frequency of the AC power line, which in the USA is 60 Hz. However, most hum also contains harmonics of that fundamental frequency: 120 Hz., 180 Hz.,"

After the classic 160 (which is still used daily in many world class studios), came the 165, the 160X and the 160XT. The 160X/XT were the models that truly became the industry standard. Solid construction, fool proof operation, great sound, at-a-glance metering and a bulletproof output stage all contributed to its popularity with musicians, recording studios, consultants and installers, and broadcast media production people alike. The dbx® 160A is a legendary dbx® 160 family of compressor/limiters. The same classic sound, easy set-up and no compromise metering is now married to an improved signal path and stronger chassis design. The result is industry standard compressor/limiter which is digital-ready and road tough. Featuring switch-selectable Over Easy® and Hard Knee compression curves along with extremely wide-ranging threshold, ratio and output controls, the dbx 160A is up to any task. True RMS level detection provides the most natural-sounding dynamics processing available, from subtle compression to \"\"brick wall\"\" peak limiting.

Due to their large size, sharing such high quality videos on social media becomes a significant problem, as it involves a lot of time and bandwidth. Also, Whats App and many other social media sharing services usually have a size constraint for uploading files. Apart from sharing, lack of available space is also another problem, as mobile devices usually have considerably less storage. Of course, there are many video compression programs available for PC and Mac. But it’s not really a convenient way if you directly want to share videos from your smartphone.

In smaller businesses, their duties may include a full range of repair and maintenance services. In larger businesses, they may specialize in certain areas, such as brakes, transmissions or air conditioning systems. Automotive service technicians must discuss automotive problems—along with options to fix them—with their customers. Automotive businesses depend on repeat clients, therefore a technician must always be courteous, a good listener, and ready to answer customers’ questions."

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."

"text": "\"Cars & Transportation Maintenance & Repairs How much do auto mechanics get payed?thats what im thinking about doing when i get older1 following 14 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: It all depends on your experience and where you decide to work. most beginning mechanics make about $14 an hour at a dealership, and that is if you are qualified and licensed. After you have gained more experience i would say you could top out at $25 an hour. Not to bad if it is what you like to do, but every mechanic i have talked to about it say they hat their job. Too many people complaining, expensive tools, loosing money on jobs they do. If you didnt know already mechanics get paid by the job. When you get a quote to fix your car, the mechanic is being payed the reccommended hours it take to do such a repair, but sometimes it can take much longer than the book says it should due to un for seen problems, especially if its an older car. On top of that, if they break something while trying to fix one problem, they dont get paid to fix what they broke. So I would say it pays good, until you figure in the expense of tools, loosing money on jobs, etc. The tool aspect is outragous."

Whether it is scheduled maintenance or something unexpected, auto repair is a fact of life that all car owners must deal with at some point. Some of the most common auto repairs likely to be necessary during the course of ownership are things such as changing a tire, replacing brake system components, and performing scheduled maintenance to the engine or transmission. However, modern automobiles are highly complex machines and as such, repairs may become necessary unexpectedly. While most people will need to take their automobiles to a licensed professional for repair, there are those that may try the do-it-yourself route. This is a decision to consider very carefully before going forward. While a potentially significant amount of money might be saved by completing repairs yourself, specific equipment, knowledge and experience may be necessary that preclude this from being a reasonable option. Ultimately, the decision should be made based on the complexity of the necessary repair as well as the mechanical skill of the owner. If there is any doubt, the vehicle should be taken to a licensed professional. For those that choose the do-it-yourself route, a certain level of mechanical competency and required tools are necessary."

"text": "\"The term “grease monkey” is an idiom, that is, it is not meant to be taken literally but is used as a comparative phrase. In common vernacular, the term is used as slang to refer to a mechanic who works on automobiles. It can also be used to reference a general mechanic who works on trains, aircraft or other machinery. The phrase also refers to a certain type of software extension to the popular Mozilla Firefox ® Internet browser. The term is not usually intended to be derogatory. Rather, it draws upon the general perception that, due to the nature of the job, a mechanic, and especially an auto or mechanic, will have grease marks or oil stains on his or her clothing. It also refers to a mechanic's ability to delve into small spaces and fix problems that might otherwise be difficult for an average individual to access. Although the term does not generally carry a negative connotation, that wasn’t always the case. The phrase “grease monkey” likely has its origins in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, around the time when industry was growing in both Great Britain and the United States. During that time period, it was common and acceptable to employ child laborers to work around the industrial machines."

Job Description At first glance, you may think that calling repairmen 'auto technicians' instead of 'mechanics' is just a change of words. In fact, this reflects the growing role of technology in car repair. Auto technicians generally must be familiar with the complicated electronics systems used to diagnose problems with your automobile. That's because in many modern cars, everything from the steering to the transmission is controlled by computer.

The list of fixtures involved in remodeling a bathroom can include elements like faucets and fixtures, floor plan changes (like converting a half bath to full bath ), new showers or baths, new flooring, countertops, cabinets and lighting. This long list of comes with a lot of different prices and options to compare before choosing what to buy for your bath remodel.

I've gotten one quote from a plumber to rip up the concrete, rough in the plumbing, and patch the floor, for $1100. In retrospect, I would probably do the patching to save a little bit of money. I'm having a pro do this since we have old cast-iron and I don't want to be the one cracking that open. I'm trying to add up the costs of the obvious items, shower, toilet, sink/vanity, etc. I'm looking for what are the hidden expenses that people have run into in a project like this. Pictures/experience would be appreciated. Few other thoughts/questions: - Tile the shower yourself vs. buying one of the plastic shower units? - Better to tie in the vent into existing stack pipe (just above existing first-floor bathroom) or have a second vent pipe going through the roof? - Does the exhaust fan for a basement bathroom just exit the house with a hole cut out just above the sill plate?"

"text": "Photo from Home Interiors Zone By Dan Fritschen Update: Remodeling a master bathroom is a great way to add value to your home, both financially and for personal satisfaction. The only hitch with master bathrooms is that they tend to be larger than other bathrooms in the home so there is more floor and wall space to be remodeled, as well as more numerous and larger fixtures and fittings. Plumbing can also be more complicated in a larger master bathroom, so not only is size and materials a concern, but also the time and cost of labor it will take to carry out the remodel. The average cost to remodel a master bathroom is something that really cannot be generalized. Typically, master bathrooms are quite a bit larger than the other bathrooms in your home. For this reason, it is to be expected that the expense for remodeling master bathrooms will be greater. If you are considering taking on this particular type of remodeling project, you should consider conducting a healthy amount of research before making any final decisions. The best way for you to do this is with our Interior Design Photo Search tool. The average cost to remodel a master bathroom will depend on many different factors, including the size of your bathroom.

Often these emotions cloud proper judgment and the ability for a person to rationally focus on what needs to be accomplished to end the marriage. Here at Golden & Jernigan, we our goal is to lead our clients through the divorce process on the correct path, allowing them to open a new chapter in their lives. The State of Michigan is known as a “no fault” divorce state. However the words “no fault” may be misleading. If the parties reach a final settlement on all issues, fault is not a factor. If there is a dispute as to alimony, property, support, visitations, or custody, fault may become an active ingredient in resolving these issues. In a divorce, the Court’s initial role is to equitably determine who should stay in the home, spousal support issues, custody issues and injunctions on the dissipation of any marriage assets. Each case has its own unique needs as each family’s dynamics are unique. At Golden & Jernigan we view our role as attorneys to advise what the client ‘should do’ and not what an individual ‘could do."

So could giving away your house be a way to reduce your tax bill? Inheritance tax isn’t the only reason people want to give away property. Many people want to reduce their estate to avoid paying for nursing homes and care costs and others see their children struggling to get on the property ladder, or buy a bigger home for their own family, and want to help them out. However, gifting away your home or signing over the deeds to a loved one is not straightforward and you should weigh up the pros and cons before doing so. Can IHT be avoided if I give my property away? Homeowners are entitled to give their home away whenever they want. If your home falls under the £325,000 IHT threshold, known as the nil rate band, then there is no IHT liability. However, if your home is worth more than this amount then the person you give it to could still be liable to pay the 40% IHT charge and other tax charges.

Instead of just handing out trusts to our clients, we learn about your personal concerns, your health, the nature of your family relationships, the stability of your children’s marriages, your investment habits, your charitable giving, the nature and value of your assets, your desires for continued control of your assets, and other important factors, and then come up with recommendations using various kinds of trusts or other tools of estate planning to determine with you what kind of estate plan best fits your individual situation. When helping our clients with estate planning in Hawaii, we look for ways to protect assets from the following: Estate and Gift Taxes Probate Nursing Home Costs Conservatorship Lawsuits and Creditors Losses After Children (or Others) Inherit Your Assets Estate And Gift Taxes The estate tax and gift tax are primarily federal taxes collected by the IRS. At this time, there is no tax on gifts made during life under Hawaii State law, but there is an estate tax upon death under Hawaii law. The amount of net assets with which a person can die without having to pay an estate tax under Federal law is called the “applicable exclusion amount.” The applicable exclusion amount changes from year to year. The exemption from Hawaii State estate tax is set to be equivalent to the current Federal applicable exclusion amount in the year of death. Under current law, this is the amount with which a person can die tax-free: Year Applicable Exclusion Amount2011 $5,000,0002012 $5,120,0002013 $5,250,0002014 $5,340,0002015 $5,430,000*the Applicable Exclusion Amount is set at $5,000,000 for 2011 and is adjusted for inflation each year. In addition, there is no estate tax on assets which are inherited by a charitable organization or a surviving spouse. However, if there is a risk that the surviving spouse might some day die with more than $ 5 ,000,000 of assets, it is generally not a good idea to leave all assets to the surviving spouse outright."

The state of New Jersey will allow a military member or a spouse to file for a divorce where he or she is stationed, even if neither the servicemember nor the spouse is a resident of New Jersey. New Jersey will often reduce or eliminate the residency requirement for military divorces. A servicemember or a spouse has a choice of the following three states in which to file for a divorce: The state where the spouse resides. The state where the servicemember is stationed. The state where the servicemember claims legal residency. This is where the servicemember's home state, or where he or she plans to live after discharge or retirement. In my experience military divorce cases and child support disputes can become extremely convoluted. In a typical military divorce, the parties are divorced in the county court where the military base is located. Almost invariably, both spouses move back to their home state, or the servicemember is transferred to another base out of state."

Before going down the path of a do-it-yourself divorce – take advantage of our free legal advice in this guide and understand what the cost might be for you and your spouse. What Does a Divorce Attorney Cost? Most divorce attorneys in Florida bill hourly for their work. The hourly rate for divorce lawyers is anywhere between $175 and $500 per hour – the average cost being around $300. The rate rises with experience, so junior associates will have a lower rate and experienced attorneys will have a higher rate. Divorce attorneys take a retainer upon accepting a case. The retainer represents “unearned” funds, which are deposited in a trust account that the law firm can draw from as work is done on the case or expenses are incurred. Divorce retainers are contingent on the number of issues and relative complexity of the case. If you can reach a divorce separation agreement quickly, the cost is usually less for all parties."

Share Pin Email Philippe Regard/Stone/Getty Imagesby Cathy Meyerupdated March 07, 2018The average cost of divorce in the United States is $15,000. The good news is that the cost of a divorce can be managed just as you manage a household budget. That being said if you have assets and want to protect those assets your first concern should not be getting divorced as cheaply as possible. When it comes to getting a divorce, you may have to spend money to save money if you have a lot of assets to protect. Going after a “cheap” divorce may have both short-term and long-term consequences. When negotiating the division of property, retirement benefits or the issue of spousal support it will pay to pay…if you know what I mean. How much your divorce costs depends on the route you take when getting a divorce. The length of your marriage and the complexities of your shared assets will play a role in how much your divorce will cost."

Even if everything looks fair and equitable, you may not really be getting a good deal. Below is an article by William Donaldson that outlines some major areas to consider in your divorce negotiations. Divorce and Your Finances - The 7 Most Costly Mistakes Each year there are nearly 1 million divorces in the United States, or about 50% of all marriages (2002 United States Census Bureau statistics). The real tragedy, however, is the financial devastation that occurs to many individuals after their divorce. Too often, a divorcing individual accepts an unfair settlement and finds that a few years later he or she is experiencing serious financial challenges. Was he or she intimidated or pressured to settle? Did the offer appear to be equitable? Whatever the reason, this outcome can be significantly improved upon, if not altogether avoided, if you first understand the seven most costly financial mistakes commonly made in divorce settlements."

Upon a divorce, there are three choices that a divorcing couple can choose to equitably distribute the family home. The easiest option is to sell the home and to split the proceeds. In many cases the family home has too much equity and it is impossible for one spouse to buy out the other spouse. Therefore, in many cases the mortgage principal is just too high and the best solution is to sell the marital home. The second option is for one spouse to buy out the other spouse's equity. One way to accomplish a buy out is to refinance the home. At the closing the selling spouse will receive their share of the equity of the marital home. Moreover, the selling spouse will be able to have their name taken off of the mortgage at the refinancing."

There are many things that determine what every patient will end up paying, so if you’re considering to have dental implants placed, it would be best to see a dentist and ask for an estimate of what the cost would be. The base cost of a dental implant, is only for the implant procedure itself. When not taking additional procedures into consideration, the following variables influence the base cost of a dental implant: The expertise of the practitioner performing the implant: While more experienced practitioners are usually also rather more expensive, going to the most qualified professional will minimize the risks involved. Materials used: Implants can be made from either titanium or zirconium. Both your choice of materials and the quality of the materials used will affect the price. Preparation procedures, such as tooth extraction or bone grafting: Some patients need more preparation before implants can be placed, this will increase the price somewhat. Number of implants needed: When patients need more than one or two implants, dentists are often able to use dental bridges or mount implants on dentures. This lowers the cost per tooth. Laboratory cost: Technicians making the implants don’t all charge the same amount for their work."

"text": "\"With Insurance: Copayments and Coinsurance Payments National Average Without Insurance: $12,400 per cycle E-mail Post Tweet Comments (4)In vitro fertilization (IVF) often is used by couples who have been unsuccessful with less invasive treatments and involves treating patients with drugs that stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple mature eggs, harvesting and fertilizing the eggs, and implanting one or more fertilized eggs in the uterus. The National Institutes of Health [ 1] offers an overview. Typical costs: IVF costs usually are based on a \"\"cycle,\"\" which involves one round of monitoring the patient's monthly reproductive cycle, administering drugs, harvesting and fertilizing the eggs and implanting one or more embryos in the uterus. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, for women under 35, about 37.3 percent of cycles result in a live birth; for women 41 and up, 10.6 percent. IVF typically costs $8,000 to $15,000 per cycle; the national average is $12,400, according the The American Society for Reproductive Medicine. Extra embryos can be frozen and implanted later, which is simpler and less expensive -- usually about $1,800 to $4,000 -- than another fresh cycle. The number of cycles varies from one to five, depending on the age of the woman and the reason for infertility. Georgia Reproductive Specialists [ 2] in Atlanta charges $12,875 for one cycle; The Advanced Fertility Center of Chicago [ 3] , charges $8,800, and the Tyler medical Clinic [ 4] in Beverly Hills, California, charges $6,000 to $9,000, not including certain lab fees. Many health insurance companies do not cover IVF treatments unless an employer chooses to add such coverage. A few states mandate coverage of infertility treatment, including IVF, with some restrictions."

An implantable defibrillator [ 1] , a larger device with a pacemaker built in, is placed inside the body near the collar bone to monitor the heart rate and deliver a strong electrical shock restoring the heartbeat to normal if it has become too fast or too slow. Typical costs: For patients not covered by insurance, a pacemaker and heart-assist implant can cost $19,000-$96,000 or more, depending on the type of pacemaker, the location and length of the hospital stay. For example, the Healthcare Bluebook [ 2] estimates a total price of $19,651 for patients in the Columbus, OH, area, including placement of the pacemaker, surgery, anesthesia and a five-day hospital stay. Health Grades.com [ 3] estimates an average list price of $28,348 for the implant and procedure for patients in the western United States. Wisconsin Price Point [ 4] , a subsidiary of the Wisconsin Hospital Association that collects healthcare price data, estimates the average costs of a defibrillator and heart assist implant in that state are about $96,000. Pacemakers may be covered by Medicare or private health insurance. For patients with Medicare, the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in New Hampshire estimates an out-of-pocket cost [ 5] of $2,604, including deductibles and coinsurance. Patients with private insurance could expect to pay [ 6] about $4,400.

Dental Implants Cost Dental Implants can replace one or more missing teeth, and can do so without affecting adjacent teeth.

Actual Dental Implant Costs When trying to figure out the actual cost of dental implants for your mouth, the important thing to know is what type prosthesis you will be using on top of the dental implants. Is the dental implant going to be supporting a removeable denture or a fixed crown?, is it going to be supporting a bridge? , will it be supporting a fixed prosthesis?

"text": "\"5 Findings on Spinal Cord Stimulator Effectiveness for Failed Back Surgery Syndrome Written by Laura Dyrda | May 29, 2014 | Print | Email Physicians and researchers recently published an article in Spine about the use of spinal cord stimulation in patients with failed back surgery syndrome. The researchers examined Market Scan data to analyze patients with FBSS who underwent spinal cord stimulation or spinal reoperation from 2000 to 2009. There were 16,455 patients included in the study, with only 395 undergoing SCS implantation. The researchers found:1. Complication rate was significantly lower at 90 days among the patients who received SCS than spinal reoperation. However, this is hardly the first study to show such results. \"\" Although previous studies have demonstrated superior efficacy for the treatment of FBSS, SCS remains underused,\"\" the study authors wrote in the conclusion. \"\" Despite no significant decreases in overall healthcare cost with SCS implantation, because it is associated with decreased complications and improved outcomes, this technology warrants closer consideration for the management of chronic pain in patients with FBSS.\"\"2. Hospital stay was shorter among patients with SCS implantation. The neurostimulation market is one of the fastest growing in medical technology, according to the Qi G group."

According to the newest figures available from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the national averages for plastic surgeon fees in 2010 were: Surgical Procedures National Average Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) $5,130Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) $2,828Breast augmentation $3,351Breast implant (s) removal $2,288Breast lift $4,207Buttock augmentation $4,500Buttock lift $4,379Calf augmentation $3,900Cheek implants $2,739Chin augmentation $2,000Facelift $6,231Forehead lift $3,161Gynecomastia (male breast reduction) $3,013Hair transplantation $4,676Lip augmentation (other than injectable materials) $1,683Liposuction $2,884Lower body lift $7,247Otoplasty (ear tuck) $3,054Pectoral implants $3,810Rhinoplasty (nose job) $4,306Thigh lift $4,507Upper arm lift $3,729Nonsurgical Procedures Botox injection $375Cellulite treatment (Velasmooth, endermology) $230Chemical peel $706Dermabrasion (not microdermabrasion) $1,200IPL laser treatment $470Laser hair removal $383Laser skin resurfacing – ablative $2,040Laser skin resurfacing – nonablative $1,156Laser treatment of leg veins $1,030Laser treatment of leg veins $404Microdermabrasion $146Sclerotherapy $354Soft tissue fillers: autologous fat $1,700Poly-L-Lactic acid (Sculptra) $940Calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse) $650Collagen, bovine/porcine (includes Zyderm, Zyplast) $468Collagen, human $475Hyaluronic acid $547Polymethyl methacrylate (Artecoll, Bellafill) $1,099NOTE: These plastic surgeon fees from ASPS are national averages and may differ significantly from the prevailing fees in your area. The figures represent physician/surgeon fees only and do not reflect additional fees for the surgical facility, anesthesia, medical tests, prescriptions, surgical garments or other miscellaneous surgery-related costs. The Variables of Plastic Surgery Cost Plastic surgery cost totals vary based on the treated area or areas. For example, the total average cost to have liposuction performed in one area of the body can be up to $4,000, in three areas between $6,000 and $8,000, and in five areas $8,000 to $11,000. The cost is higher for larger body areas. Plastic surgery costs also vary depending on overhead costs. The overall average cost of a facelift, for example, ranges from $6,000 to $15,000."

A cochlear implant is a device that provides stimulation directly to the auditory nerve, bypassing damaged hair cells in the cochlea that prevent sound from reaching the nerve. An implant does not result in \"\"restored\"\" hearing for the recipient, but does allow him or her to perceive sounds. How long have cochlear implants been available? The U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) first approved cochlear implant devices for adults in 1985 and for children in 1990. According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, as of December 2010 approximately 70,000 individuals—over half of whom were children—had received cochlear implants in the United States. More than 219,000 individuals have received cochlear implants worldwide. During recent years, an increase in early hearing detection and intervention (EHDI) programs as a result of legislation and advocacy efforts by organizations such as the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) has allowed for the identification of more children who may benefit from cochlear implants.

It carries the natural saltiness of celery and bears a non-acidic citric fruit tone. Its aftertaste is a subtle acrid yet pleasant woody and copper-like flavor (think almond skins) that sits at the back of the tongue. Notes Texture and mouthfeel are such major components in the flavor of avocados, it took a titanic effort to consciously ignore them but it was a great exercise in tasting, so kudos to the asker. For those who have actually never tasted an avocado, its texture is fleshy, oily, and creamy. Imagine a tree bearing fruit of balmy fresh vegetable infused butter.

Tips for safely savoring foods a second time around With the holidays quickly approaching and along with them massive meals that often leave leftovers in their wake, IFT member Guy Crosby, Ph D, CFS, Science Editor, America's Test Kitchen, Adjunct Professor, Department of Nutrition, Harvard School of Public Health, offers tips on safely savoring food the second time around. Q: Why do leftovers often taste better the next day? A: Generally because chemical reactions continue to take place that produce more and/or new flavor molecules. Some flavor enhancement may involve the breakdown of proteins to release amino acids such as glutamate and small nucleotides that interact to enhance savory, meaty umami taste, or reaction of amino acids with sugars to produce new flavor molecules by the Maillard reaction (browning), which can occur when the leftovers are reheated. Q: Is it okay to put hot food directly into the fridge? A: It is recommended not to place hot foods in the refrigerator because it can warm the refrigerator above 40 degrees Fahrenheit where harmful microorganisms can grow. Plus, if the food is very hot it may take significant time for the food to cool below 40 degrees Fahrenheit giving time for unsafe microorganisms to grow in the food. It is best to let the food cool to 80-90 degrees Fahrenheit before placing in the refrigerator."

"text": "\"Fruit Skin and Seeds: What’s Good and What’s Not. Many people have discovered that fruits and vegetable smoothies are good for their health but when making a smoothie, should one include the skin and seeds or to throw them away and avoid eating them? The answer is: it depends on the fruit. Before we get started, it is important to mention that although fruit skins are mostly good for you, the so-called conventionally-grown fruits (or vegetables for that matter) contain pesticides, herbicides, chemicals, contaminants, and or carcinogens. So no matter how nutritious the skin may be, remember that you are ingesting chemicals that are not good for you. Try to consume organically grown (which means that they have not been grown using chemicals) fruits and wash all fruits thoroughly with water before consumption. Now you just have to hope that the part of the country you are living at does not add too much fluoride to the tap water that you use to wash your organic fruits. A person can get frustrated trying to avoid chemicals for the health of their family, in particular, their children. The seeds of a plant or fruit are typically rich in vitamin and mineral content. An important function of a seed is to act as an energy and nutrient source for the new plant germinating from it."

As we all know, the cut surface of an avocado quickly turns brown and slimy, making it hard to store it in the refrigerator for very long. Read on for my best tip ever for keeping a cut avocado green, fresh and tasty. ( And no, it does not involve the pit! ) Why do avocados turn brown when cut open? An enzyme in avocados causes the flesh to oxidize when exposed to air, turning it an unappealing brown color. This is why an avocado is often green underneath the pit but brown on the exposed surfaces surrounding it — the surface underneath the pit is protected from oxygen. But the protection is not about the pit itself, only the way the pit acts as a barrier. The usual solution The usual approach is to limit the exposure of the cut surface to oxygen. Many people simply press a piece of plastic wrap over the cut surface and stick it in the refrigerator."

What Do Brown Tipped Leaves on an Avocado Tree Indicate? Enjoying the creamy flesh from a ripened avocado is a treat for the taste buds, especially if you have cultivated the fruit from your own garden. Requiring a lot of garden space for their shallow root systems, these complex evergreen trees need full sunlight to generate the large fruits. In fact, the soil itself is an important determining factor for whether the tree fruits or not. Soil Types Avocado trees thrive in well-aerated and loose soil. In particular, limestone, sandy loam and decomposed granite are the main soil types that encourage lush fruit growth. Although avocado trees tolerate both acidic and alkaline soils, the best p H range for a successful tree ranges between 6 and 6.5; this slightly acidic range can be achieved by amending the soil periodically with lime or sulfur, depending on the p H reading from an accurate meter. Compacted soils will hinder root spread, which can stunt the tree's growth and contribute to root rot. Good Drainage Tree roots suffocated with constant moisture will exhibit their poor health with low fruit yields and possible branch die-back; avocado trees must have good soil drainage for healthy growth."

A major part that plays an importance in being alkaline is to hydrate your body properly. Since the water we drink provides for all cellular and bodily functions (like digestion, respiration, perspiration, elimination, etc. ), the decrease in our daily water intake affects the efficiency of all cellular activity. Water is also quite possibly the single most important catalyst in losing weight and keeping it off. Another major part of being alkaline is simply the foods you eat."

"text": "The Carb & Protein Values of Avocadosby SYLVIE TREMBLAY, MSC Oct. 03, 2017Packed with healthy fats, vitamin E, iron, potassium and zinc, avocados offer lots of nutritional value in each creamy, decadent-tasting serving. There are two types of avocados abundant in the U. S.: California avocados, which have skin that ranges from dark green to black and a highly rich inner flesh, and Florida avocados, which have bright green skin and a slightly less rich-tasting flesh. Both types are high in fat, but they also contain smaller amounts of carbohydrates and protein. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Carbohydrates in Avocado Although most of the energy in avocado comes from its fat content, avocados also contain a small amount of carbs. A standard serving of California avocado -- roughly an ounce -- has 3 grams of total carbohydrates, while an equivalent serving of Florida avocado has 2 grams of carbohydrates. If you're eating pureed avocado, a quarter-cup serving of California avocado offers 5 grams of carbohydrates -- slightly more than the 4.5 grams of carbohydrates in a quarter-cup of pureed Florida avocado. Avocado has just a tiny amount of sugar -- which is a simple carbohydrate -- although California avocados have slightly more than their Florida counterparts. But a serving of either California or Florida avocado has less than a gram of sugar. Don't Forget Fiber Most of avocados' carb content comes from fiber. That's a good thing -- fiber keeps you regular, it's beneficial for keeping you full after eating and it fights cardiovascular disease."

The taste varies from flavorless, which is more or less what you want, to a sort of bitter, soapy, moldy, godawful after taste. Sometimes the terrible flavor is due to heating the avocado, or the avocado being unripe or too ripe. Taste test the avocado before using it in any sort of cooking.

People who are afraid of avocados don’t really know what to do with them and those that don’t know what to do with them have never learned how to enjoy this highly delicious and nutritious fruit. If you are afraid of avocados, we hope that this information helps you understand a little more about this number one best fruit you should eat each day. Avocados, known also as alligator pears, are the fruit of the Persea americana, a large evergreen tree. Depending on variety, they can weigh anywhere from 8 ounces to 3 pounds and are much more like a berry than a fruit. While eaten as a vegetable, alligator pears are, unlike any other vegetables; they contain enough healthy fat to pass as a meat substitute. Similar to coconuts, avocados are sometimes snubbed because of their high fat content. The Value of Healthy Fat One cup of avocado cubed contains about 240 calories and 22 grams of fat. But, don’t let this fat fact scare you. The fat found in avocados is comprised of oleic acid and is extremely healthy monounsaturated fat, the same kind found in olive oil."

This is my first attempt to “speed blog” and get a fish taco post up before the next soccer game in one hour. I think I can do it. From what I have read about fish tacos, I learned they became popular on menus in Baja, and spread to the mainland of Mexico, perhaps following the tourists. Fish tacos prepared in the Baja style are now all over the west coast of Mexico. This way of preparation involves an easy beer batter, sliced cabbage, pickled onions, avocado salsa, and thin mayonnaise and sour cream salsa. I’m sticking to tradition, except for substituting chipotle tartar sauce for the mayonnaise salsa, which is lackluster in taste when compared with the zing of chipotle chile. At the La Cruz Fish Market, Martin recommended Chocho when I asked for a fish for tacos. Chocho? He saw me hesitate, but assured me it was a great choice."

Clownfish eggs will hatch about 7-10 days after they are laid, depending on the water temperature. Each day you should check the eggs. When the eggs get a silver color, they will hatch that night. You will notice that each egg has a silver, reflective eye. This means that when the lights go out they will hatch. You must remove the clownfish fry from the tank and put them into the fry tank.

A number of descriptive common names are used for this dwarf angel, including Two-colored Angelfish, Black and Gold or Blue and Gold Angelfish, Pacific Rock Beauty Angelfish, and the Oriole Angelfish.

Although the Bicolor Angelfish is a very popular fish it is not necessarily a good angelfish for a reef aquarium. Out of all the dwarf angelfish the Bicolor is the least reef friendly. Getting a juvenile is your best bet, as they are ready eaters and can be more easily trained to aquarium fare. Larger specimens may tend to only feed some on algae, often preferring corals, large polyped corals, tunicates, sponges, and worms, and may nip the mantles of clams.

Most types of anemones do well in a reef tank, but there are a few that are better kept in a saltwater aquarium rather than a reef environment. Many types of anemones are known to be quite durable once they are established, but some anemones simply do not fare well in captivity, or are not the right choice for the aquarium.

The eggs hatch and devour the caterpillar from the inside, being careful not to disrupt any vital functions. Eventually they emerge and spin cocoons of silk in which they transition from larvae to adult. Technically, these insects are parasitoids, since, unlike true parasites, they kill their hosts. This is a failry tight relationship; the wasps could not survive without caterpillars in the same family (although the caterpillar would do just fine without the wasps). Much looser parasitism is shown by ectoparasites, which feed from the outside. Mosquitoes (below right) of course suck blood (only the females at that; they need the protein to make eggs).

There are four types of symbiotic relationships: mutualism, parasitism, mimicry, and commensalism. Clownfish & Anemone The clownfish is able to reside among the poisonous tendrils of the anemone due to a biological immunity to the toxin, whereas other fish — including predators — will feel the sting if they get too close, making it a perfect hideout for this vibrant reef species. The anemone, in turn, benefits by consuming the clownfish’s waste and other wasted bits of food, as well as remaining healthy due to aeration from the constant movement of the clownfish.

Coral reefs are teeming with life because they provide surfaces on which organisms can grow and create crevices in which organisms can hide. Coral reefs support an amazing amount of life. Sharks patrol the reefs looking for a meal. These predators often eat slow or sick fish, which prevents disease outbreaks on the reef. They also keep carnivore and herbivore populations in balance. Parrotfish use their beak-like mouth to scrape algae from corals."

Scientists have found that these fish have a special layer of mucus that keeps the anemones from stinging them. Anemonefishes need the protection they find in their anemones: the anemones' stings keep fish predators at bay, and an anemonefish never lives without its host anemone. The partnership may benefit the anemones, as well—they get scraps of food dropped by the anemonefishes as they eat. And the aggressive and territorial anemonefishes may defend their anemones by driving away butterflyfishes and other anemone-eating fishes. Conservation In places, unscrupulous collectors use cyanide, bleach and other chemicals to catch coral reef fishes for the pet trade. Applying the chemicals stuns the fishes and makes them easy to collect. But these poisons can also kill fishes, corals and other reef life.

It is key to know which fish can be eaten often, and which ones to cut down on, to avoid future health problems. The fish that are edible, are packed with vitamin A and vitamin D, and contain calcium that is good in making bones stronger. Fish are a healthy source of protein, and omega-3 fatty acids, that aid in keeping our health and heart in check. Not all fish can be eaten on a daily basis, and one must know which fish are okay to eat often, and which aren't. Fish and shellfish are two food items that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, minerals and vitamins. There are three types of fish that are edible - shellfish, white fish and oily fish. These contain omega-3 fatty acids, and can be eaten by pregnant women, or those that are breastfeeding, since it helps develop the baby's nervous system. White fish is a great source of omega 3 but not as much as oily fish. It's a great low-fat food that one can eat to even aid in weight loss."

You will spend significantly less on an echocardiogram if you carry health insurance. CHFpatients.com states that in 99 percent of echocardiograms costs are completely covered by health insurance. Geography If for some reason your insurance company does not cover the cost of your echocardiogram, expect to pay between $500 and $1,000 for the procedure. This cost varies due to your location and the setting of where you are having the test done---in a hospital or in an outpatient clinic. Considerations Echocardiogram results are not always completely accurate. According to CHFpatients.com, there is no accepted standard for interpreting results, and a single echocardiogram may yield contrasting conclusions depending on the interpreter.

If your doctor suspects that you have an aortic aneurysm, specialized tests can confirm it. These tests might include: Chest X-ray Your doctor may first suspect you have a thoracic aortic aneurysm by looking at chest X-ray images. Your doctor may discover a thoracic aortic aneurysm on X-ray images ordered to check for another condition. Echocardiogram Thoracic aortic aneurysms may be diagnosed by echocardiogram, and this technique is often used to screen family members of those with thoracic aortic aneurysm. An echocardiogram uses sound waves to capture real-time images of your heart and the ascending aorta. Echocardiograms show how well your heart chambers and valves are working. Occasionally, to better see your aorta, your doctor may recommend a transesophageal echocardiogram — in which the sound waves are generated from within your body by a device threaded down your esophagus. Computerized tomography (CT) scan This painless test can provide your doctor with clear images of your aorta, and it can detect the size and shape of an aneurysm.

"text": "\"echocardiography (redirected from Doppler echo) Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Encyclopedia . Echocardiography Definition Echocardiography is a diagnostic test that uses ultrasound waves to create an image of theheart muscle. Ultrasound waves that rebound or echo off the heart can show the size, shape,and movement of the heart's valves and chambers as well as the flow of blood through the heart. Echocardiography may show such abnormalities as poorly functioning heart valves or damage to the heart tissue from a past heart attack. Purpose Echocardiography is used to diagnose certain cardiovascular diseases. In fact, it is one of themost widely used diagnostic tests for heart disease. It can provide a wealth of helpful information,including the size and shape of the heart, its pumping strength, and the location and extent of any damage to its tissues. It is especially useful for assessing diseases of the heart valves. It not only allows doctors to evaluate the heart valves, but it can detect abnormalities in the pattern of blood flow, such as the backward flow of blood through partly closed heart valves, known as regurgitation. By assessing the motion of the heart wall, echocardiography can help detect thepresence and assess the severity of coronary artery disease, as well as help determinewhether any chest pain is related to heart disease."

An atrial septal defect (ASD) is an opening or hole in the wall that separates the two upper chambers of the heart. This wall is called the atrial septum. The hole causes oxygen-rich blood to leak from the left side of the heart to the right side. This causes extra work for the right side of the heart, since more blood than necessary is flowing through the right ventricle to the lungs. If the ASD is small enough, it can be closed with a special device. The procedure is done in the heart catheterization lab.

Abstract: Serum troponins are sensitive markers used to diagnose acute coronary syndrome in association with signs and symptoms of chest pain and EKG changes. Cardiac troponins are elevated in 85% of patients with sepsis in the absence of acute coronary syndrome. Small studies have shown that elevated troponin levels identify patients with sepsis who are at increased risk of mortality. The purpose of this study was to 1) identify the outcome of cardiac troponin positive sepsis patients in our hospital, 2) determine whether the traditional cardiac risk factors predispose septic patients for positive troponin and 3) evaluate the cardiac interventions done for troponin positive patients. Conclusion: In our study, patients with elevated troponins had a higher mortality. Hypertension (HTN) and Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) increased the risk of mortality in troponin positive patients. Several interventions were performed including medications, echocardiogram, and cardiology consultation. Treatment medications did not improve mortality rates.

"text": "“My Pet Has a Heart Murmur:” How a Pet Echocardiogram Can Help May 23rd, 2016 by Cherished Companions Animal Clinic Let’s say…You’ve brought your dog or cat to our veterinary clinic for a routine annual exam. Or perhaps, you’ve brought your pet in because he or she has been acting strangely. Maybe your dog has been coughing, breathing heavy or lethargic. If you have a cat, maybe you’ve noticed a sudden loss in energy and appetite, trouble breathing or hiding more than usual. As part of your visit, our veterinarians will check your pet’s heart. That’s when — in some cases — our vets may hear a heart murmur. In dogs, a heart murmur is almost always a sign of something abnormal. In cats, a heart murmur may or may not be normal. It depends on your cat. Once our veterinarians hear a heart murmur, we typically recommend an echocardiogram (at a minimum), so we can get a good look at what’s going on."

The image is an echocardiogram. This test allows your doctor to monitor how your heart and its valves are functioning. The images can help them spot:blood clots in the heartfluid in the sac around the heartproblems with the aorta, which is the main artery connected to the heart An echocardiogram is key in determining the health of the heart muscle, especially after a heart attack. It can also reveal heart defects in unborn babies. Taking an echocardiogram is painless. There are only risks in very rare cases with certain types of echocardiograms. Uses Uses Your doctor may order an echocardiogram for several reasons. For example, they may have discovered an abnormality from other testing or while listening to your heartbeat through a stethoscope."

"text": "Dogs > Medical Procedures How Much Does a Canine Echocardiogram Cost? The echocardiogram cost is determined by a number of factors, including your location and the clinic where the test is being performed. The echocardiogram is a test that will assess the condition of the pet’s heart and may detect conditions such as heart murmur. If you need to get this ultrasound test, you will want to find out about the financial details of the test as well. When Is an Echocardiogram Needed? An echocardiogram is an ultrasound of the heart. An echocardiogram test is needed when the pet displays symptoms that may point to a heart condition (i.e. heart murmur). The ultrasound will be performed at the level of the chest and will establish if there is any defect in the structure or function of the dog’s heart valves and chambers. The procedure employs sound waves that will allow the vet to see a clear image of the heart on a computer screen. The entire procedure will take between 15 and 35 minutes and the vet will have a diagnosis immediately after performing the test."

"text": "\"Home > Health Library Dobutamine Stress Echocardiogram<< Back to Cardiovascular Tests and Procedures What is a dobutamine stress echocardiogram? An echocardiogram (echo) is a test used to assess the heart's function and structures. A stress echocardiogram is a test done to assess how well the heart works under stress. The “stress” can be triggered by either exercise on a treadmill or medication called dobutamine. A dobutamine stress echocardiogram (DSE) may be used if you are unable to exercise. Dobutamine is put in a vein and causes the heart to beat faster. It mimics the effects of exercise on the heart. During an echo, a transducer (like a microphone) sends out ultrasonic sound waves at a frequency too high to be heard. When the transducer is placed on the chest at certain locations and angles, the ultrasonic sound waves move through the skin and other body tissues to the heart tissues, where the waves bounce or \"\"echo\"\" off of the heart structures. The transducer picks up the reflected waves and sends them to a computer."

"text": "An echocardiogram is a common ultrasound test that examines your heart and shows its movements. The procedure is helpful in identifying any abnormalities in your heart and heart valves. During the test, sound waves are used to produce images of your heart. What Does an Echocardiogram Show? An echocardiogram examines: Heart size: The chambers or the muscular walls of your heart may be enlarged due to damaged heart valves, high blood pressure, or other diseases. Heart valves: The test shows whether your valves are shaped normally, whether they open and close correctly, and whether they are leaky. Damage to the heart muscle: If you have had a heart attack, coronary artery disease, or various other conditions, your heart walls may have damage. Heart defects: Problems with the heart chambers, abnormal connections between the heart and major blood vessels, and congenital heart defects can all be detected via an echocardiogram. Your heart's ability to pump: When your heart can't pump enough blood to meet your body's demands, heart failure may be a concern. An echocardiogram can determine the ejection fraction, (the percentage of blood that's pumped out of a filled ventricle with each heartbeat) and the cardiac output (the volume of blood the heart pumps in one minute)."

"text": "Print Diagnosis Thoracic aortic aneurysms are often found during routine medical tests, such as a chest X-ray, CT scan, or ultrasound of the heart or abdomen, sometimes ordered for a different reason. If your doctor suspects that you have an aortic aneurysm, specialized tests can confirm it. These tests might include: Chest X-ray Your doctor may first suspect you have a thoracic aortic aneurysm by looking at chest X-ray images. Your doctor may discover a thoracic aortic aneurysm on X-ray images ordered to check for another condition. Echocardiogram Thoracic aortic aneurysms may be diagnosed by echocardiogram, and this technique is often used to screen family members of those with thoracic aortic aneurysm. An echocardiogram uses sound waves to capture real-time images of your heart and the ascending aorta. Echocardiograms show how well your heart chambers and valves are working. Occasionally, to better see your aorta, your doctor may recommend a transesophageal echocardiogram — in which the sound waves are generated from within your body by a device threaded down your esophagus. Computerized tomography (CT) scan This painless test can provide your doctor with clear images of your aorta, and it can detect the size and shape of an aneurysm. During a CT scan, you lie on a table inside a doughnut-shaped X-ray machine."

Transthoracic echocardiograms (TTE) are the most common type of echo performed. During TTE a transducer is moved on the surface of a patient’s chest to obtain images that are captured for analysis. EKG monitoring is also performed to assist in evaluating the heart in different stages of cardiac cycle. Heart chamber size, contraction, wall motion, wall thickness and valve structure can all be evaluated using echocardiography. Doppler echocardiography is often used to detect acute complications following a myocardial infarction. Doppler color flow imaging evaluates the blood flow through the heart and displays flow data on 2-D echocardiographic image. Doppler wave form imaging provides directional information about flow, velocity and characteristics. Wave form is obtained when a transducer transmits a series of pulses to detect motion.

"text": "Someone who studies nature, and the organisms within nature, is called an ecologist. Generally speaking, they are people who care about the Earth and try to find ways to preserve it. Most have at least a bachelor's degree, either in ecology or some related field, such as biology or life sciences, and many have advanced graduate degrees as well. The main job of an ecologist is to perform research, and many prepare field studies based on concerns about the environment. For example, one may study the environmental impact, or consequences, of building a dam near a largely forested area. He or she would consider how this change in the environment would affect individual species of trees, plants and wildlife, as well as how the change would affect the ecosystem as a whole. The information gathered would then be typed up with a recommendation and presented to the government, local environmental organizations, and anyone else who may have a hand in building the dam. Ecologists don't do all of their studies in the field. They typically read and analyze research by other ecologists, use computer simulations, and perform laboratory studies of animals and plants. These professionals use the data from their studies to create reports and to make recommendations."

While wildlife biologists do study plants, they mostly focus on working with and learning about wild animals. Some also look at the ecosystem as a whole and see how people impact it. A wildlife biologist works to preserve wildlife. This is done in a variety of ways, including protecting their habitats, trying to increase the population of endangered species, and working to resolve issues between man and animal. Wildlife biologists may often focus on one particular species or on the species of a particular area. They often have to deal with fairly complex issues such as trying to determine why a species is going extent. On the other hand, they also have to deal with species that are rapidly increasing in population, which can be just as bad."

Ecology is the relationship of living things to each other and to what’s around them. So, if you are learning about what kinds of relationships fish have with other animals (including us!) and plants in their neighborhood, then you are learning about ecology. The word ECOLOGY comes from Greek words meaning “study of the household.” That means that ecology is the study of the “household” of living things: their neighbors and neighborhood."

The size of a population that occupies a specific area is called population density. COMPETITION occurs when 2 or more organisms seek the same resource at the same time competition limits the population's size, competition for food living space or other resources can prevent population growth. In nature the most intense competition is usually among the same species because they need the same kind of food and shelter.

Most entry-level positions in paleontology require a master's degree in geology or earth science. There are a few positions that will accept a bachelor's degree in these fields of study for such entry level positions. If one is seeking a high-level research or wishes to teach paleontology at a University, a Ph D is a necessity. The aspiring Paleontologist will need to master areas such as classical geologic methods and topics which are mineralogy, petrology, paleontology, and structural geology. Those that are educated in other areas such as physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, engineering, or computer science may also qualify for positions in Geosciences providing that their studies included course work pertaining to geology. What does a Paleontologist do? Paleontologist are scientist whose main purpose is to study fossils of living organisms and animals for the purpose of learning what the earth was like years and years ago. They are responsible for finding the fossils and identifying pertinent facts about the fossils using scientific techniques.

Environmentalists are concerned with the overall health of the earth and study more abiotic things such as chemicals in the atmosphere, carbon emissions and what we can do to reduce them.

As an ecologist of ice age giants, I long ago came to terms with the fact that I will never look my study organisms in the eye. I will never observe black-bear-sized beavers through binoculars in their natural habitats, build experimental exclosures to test the effects of mastodons on plants, or even observe a giant ground sloth in a zoo. As a conservation paleoecologist, I study the natural experiments of the past—like climate change and extinction—to better understand the ecology of a warming, fragmented world. Admitedly, part of the appeal of the ice age past is the challenge of reconstructing long-disappeared landscapes from fragments like pollen, tiny fragments of charcoal, and bits of leaves preserved in lakes. In the absence of mammoths, for example, I rely instead on spores of fungi that once inhabited their dung. De-extinction could change that. On Friday, a group of geneticists, conservationists, journalists, and others convened in Washington, D. C. to discuss resurrecting extinct species, including the woolly mammoth. De-extinction sounds like science fiction, but it’s rooted in very real conservation concerns. With the sequencing of the woolly mammoth genome complete and recent advancements in biotechnology, the question of whether to clone extinct species like mastodons, dodos, or the Shasta ground sloth is rapidly becoming more of a question of should, rather than how."

An entomologists' work can take place in the lab, if the study subjects are contained within the lab, or it can also happen in the field with the observation of insects in a natural ecology.

But on the view of each species constantly trying to increase in number, with natural selection always ready to adapt the slowly varying descendants of each to any unoccupied or ill-occupied place in nature, these facts cease to be strange, or perhaps might even have been anticipated. - Charles Darwin (1859), On the Origin of Species INTRODUCTION Every organism has a place to live in nature, a functional role in that place, and a complex set of adaptations for reproducing its kind. On the surface, this observation might seem to be obvious, even trivial. However, in order to understand our biological world—the biosphere, how it operates and ultimately how to protect it—we need to understand at a deep level how organisms interact with each other and with their physical environment. In this chapter we will examine further some of the concepts that ecologists use to organize their thoughts about the ways in which organisms use their environment, relate to each other, and assemble into communities or ecosystems. The most fundamental and perhaps most difficult of these concepts is that of the ecological niche. A niche refers to the way in which an organism fits into an ecological community or ecosystem. Through the process of natural selection, a niche is the evolutionary result of a species’ morphological (morphology refers to an organism’s physical structure), physiological, and behavioral adaptations to its surroundings."

The consequences were devastating. When drought covered the region in the early 1930s, wheat couldn’t grow and bare fields were swept into powerful dust storms that destroyed farms and made the land uninhabitable for years. Grasslands have many names—prairies in North America, Asian steppes, savannahs and veldts in Africa, Australian rangelands, and pampas, llanos and cerrados in South America. But they are all places where there is too little rain for trees to grow in great numbers. Instead, these lands are covered in grasses and grass-like plants that have growing points close to the soil and can keep on growing even after being nibbled on by animals. These grasses can support high densities of grazing animals, such as zebra, antelope and bison. And these herds in turn support iconic predators, including lions and cheetahs. Grassland ecosystems are particularly fragile because water is scarce. Grasslands in Australia, Africa and South America are often dependent on regular episodes of fire for renewal."

In this lesson, learn how population ecologists study populations and their interactions with their environment. You will learn about the various terms and models they use to describe and understand this complex field of study. What is Population Ecology? Ecologists study many different aspects of ecosystems. One aspect that is of particular importance is population ecology. This field of study is concerned with populations and how they interact with their environment. A population is all of the individuals of the same species within an ecological community. Ecologists are interested in the growth of a population, fluctuations in population size, the spread of the population, and any other interactions with the population or between it and other populations. Ecologists may also study different groups of populations that are not located in the same area but interact at certain times throughout the year."

"text": "Home » AP Biology » Outlines Chapter 50 - An Introduction to Ecology and the Biosphere Printer Friendly Chapter 50 An Introduction to Ecology and the Biosphere Lecture Outline Overview: The Scope of Ecology Ecology is the scientific study of the interactions between organisms and their environment. Concept 50.1 Ecology is the study of interactions between organisms and the environment Ecologists ask questions about factors affecting the distribution and abundance of organisms. Ecologists might study how interactions between organisms and the environment affect the number of species living in an area, the cycling of nutrients, or the growth of populations. Ecology and evolutionary biology are closely related sciences. Ecology has a long history as a descriptive science. Modern ecology is also a rigorous experimental science. Ecology and evolutionary biology are closely related sciences. Events that occur over ecological time (minutes to years) translate into effects over evolutionary time (decades to millennia). For example, hawks feeding on field mice kill certain individuals (over ecological time), reducing population size (an ecological effect), altering the gene pool (an evolutionary effect), and selecting for mice with fur color that camouflages them in their environment (over evolutionary time). Ecological research ranges from the adaptations of individual organisms to the dynamics of the biosphere."

People assume that Marra, head of the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center and author of the recent book Cat Wars, hates cats. This is not the case. “ I love cats,” he says, calling them “fascinating, magnificent animals,” that seem to have a “freakish love for me.” He’s even considered a pet cat, despite being mildly allergic. “ This is the thing people don’t realize,” Marra told me recently at a café near his office in Washington, D. C. “I’m both a wild animal advocate and a domestic animal advocate. If my mother thought I wasn’t supporting cats, she’d be flipping in her grave. ”It’s an understandable mistake. After all, Marra has made himself the public face of what sounds a lot like an anti-cat crusade."

Except for the work of the misguided opponent whose arguments we happen to be refuting at the time, we speak as though every scientist's field and methods of study are as good as every other scientist's, and perhaps a little better. This keeps us all cordial when it comes to recommending each other for government grants. ”Candid words about the nature of the scientific enterprise as seen from the inside by a participating scientist. And what makes these sentences even more remarkable is that they were not uttered behind close doors in a room full of smoke, but printed in one of the premiere scientific magazines in the world, Science. It was 1964, the year I was born, and the author was John R. Platt, a biophysicist at the University of Chicago. The debate between scientists on what constitutes “hard” (often equated with good, sound) and “soft” (implicitly considered less good) science has not subsided since. Platt was frustrated by the fact that some fields of science make clear and rapid progress, while others keep mucking around without seemingly been able to accomplish much of relevance. As Platt put it, in the same article: “We speak piously of ... making small studies that will add another brick to the temple of science. Most such bricks just lie around the brickyard.”"

In the pitched debate over genetically modified (GM) foods and crops, it can be hard to see where scientific evidence ends and dogma and speculation begin. In the nearly 20 years since they were first commercialized, GM crop technologies have seen dramatic uptake. Advocates say that they have increased agricultural production by more than US$98 billion and saved an estimated 473 million kilograms of pesticides from being sprayed. But critics question their environmental, social and economic impacts.nature.com/gmcrops Researchers, farmers, activists and GM seed companies all stridently promote their views, but the scientific data are often inconclusive or contradictory. Complicated truths have long been obscured by the fierce rhetoric. “ I find it frustrating that the debate has not moved on,” says Dominic Glover, an agricultural socioeconomist at Wageningen University and Research Centre in the Netherlands. “ The two sides speak different languages and have different opinions on what evidence and issues matter,” he says.

Community ecology looks at the interactions between populations of organisms. Here we explore a polar ecosystem in Greenland to describe what community ecology entails and what it really means to be at the top of the food chain. What Is Community Ecology? Nanortalik is the last town in the southern tip of Greenland. It is nestled among glaciers, woodlands and fjords in a strip of land between the Atlantic Ocean and Greenland Sea. The surrounding area is a natural paradise for climbing, kayaking, and watching its undisturbed habitats, or ecological areas that are home to particular types of life. In this case, the Nanortalik is home to beautiful landscapes and many arctic animals like polar bears—which give the town its name, meaning 'place of the polar bears. ' Let's take on the role of community ecologists to better understand life in this polar ecosystem. Community ecologists study how the various species in a community interact with each other."

Scientists Have A New Estimate And It’s Way More Than They Thought By Amy Nordrum @amynordrum On 09/02/15 AT 1:06 PMA new estimate published Wednesday revealed there are far more trees in the world than foresters previously thought. This finding could have far-reaching implications for climate research, conservation projects and reforestation efforts. Photo: Thomas Crowther New research reveals there are 3 trillion trees in the world -- far more than scientists previously thought. That's great news for conservationists and ecologists, who now have a clearer picture of the forests they aim to preserve. Now the bad news: The data, compiled as part of the largest-ever survey of the world's forests, means that every new tree that is planted plays a smaller role in the global fight to capture carbon emissions. A team of researchers have completed the momentous challenge of counting all the world’s trees and found that there are about 422 trees for every person on earth. That number greatly overshadows the last estimate of about 400 billion trees, and it will likely appear in climate models and be cited in conservation plans for years to come. Trees are an important ally in humanity's effort to rein in carbon emissions because trees capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and convert it into woody biomass for their branches and trunks through a process known as carbon sequestration. Their results were published in the journal Nature Wednesday."

In the fall of 2009, in a Victorian greenhouse at the Cruickshank Botanic Garden at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland, Zdenka Babikova sprinkled vegetation-devouring aphids on eight broad bean plants and sealed each plant’s leaves and stems inside a clear plastic bag. This was no act of malice, though; it was all in the name of science. Babikova, a Ph D student at the University of Aberdeen, knew that aphid-infested bean plants release odorous chemicals known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air to warn their neighbors, which respond by emitting different VOCs that repel aphids and attract aphid-hunting wasps. What she didn’t know was whether the plants were also sounding the alarm beneath the soil surface. Five weeks earlier, Babikova filled eight 30 cm–diameter pots with soil containing Glomus intraradices, a mycorrhizal fungus that connects the roots of plants with its hyphae, the branching filaments that make up the fungal mycelium. Like a subterranean swap meet, these hyphal networks facilitate the trade of nutrients between fungi and plants. In each pot, Babikova planted five broad bean plants: a “donor” plant surrounded by four “receiver” plants."

Environmentalists are concerned with the overall health of the earth and study more abiotic things such as chemicals in the atmosphere, carbon emissions and what we can do to reduce them. Both ecologists and envrionmentalists often team together to change policies as both are very concerned about conserving wildlife, habitat, and the human species. They are also both very concerned about the health of the globe.

The most memorable passages described the experiments of a former C. I. A. polygraph expert named Cleve Backster, who, in 1966, on a whim, hooked up a galvanometer to the leaf of a dracaena, a houseplant that he kept in his office. To his astonishment, Backster found that simply by imagining the dracaena being set on fire he could make it rouse the needle of the polygraph machine, registering a surge of electrical activity suggesting that the plant felt stress. “ Could the plant have been reading his mind?” the authors ask. “ Backster felt like running into the street and shouting to the world, ‘Plants can think!’ ” Backster and his collaborators went on to hook up polygraph machines to dozens of plants, including lettuces, onions, oranges, and bananas."

"text": "\"Ecopsychology studies the relationship between human beings and the natural world through ecological and psychological principles. [ 1] The field seeks to develop and understand ways of expanding the emotional connection between individuals and the natural world, thereby assisting individuals with developing sustainable lifestyles and remedying alienation from nature. Theodore Roszak is credited with coining the term in his 1992 book, The Voice of the Earth, although a group of psychologists and environmentalists in Berkeley, including Mary Gomes and Allen Kanner, were independently using the term to describe their own work at the same time. Roszak, Gomes and Kanner later expanded the idea in the 1995 anthology Ecopsychology. Two other books were especially formative for the field, Paul Shepard 's 1982 volume, \"\"Nature and Madness,\"\" which explored the effect that our ever-diminishing engagement with wild nature had upon human psychological development, and philosopher David Abram 's The Spell of the Sensuous: Perception and Language in a More-than-Human World, published in 1996. The latter was the first widely read book to bring phenomenology to bear on ecological and ecopsychological issues, examining in detail the earthly dimensions of sensory experience, and disclosing the historical effect of formal writing systems upon the human experience of nature's agency, voice, and interiority. A central premise of ecopsychology is that while today the human mind is affected and shaped by the modern social world, its deep structure is inevitably adapted to, and informed by, the more-than-human natural environment in which it evolved. [ 2] According to the biophilia hypothesis of biologist E. O. Wilson, human beings have an innate instinct to connect emotionally with nature, [3] [4] particularly the aspects of nature that recall what evolutionary psychologists have termed the environment of evolutionary adaptiveness, the natural conditions that the human species evolved to inhabit. The field of ecopsychology extends beyond the conventional purview of psychology, which had traditionally considered the psyche to be a matter of relevance to humans alone. Ecopsychology examines why people continue environmentally damaging behaviour, and to develop methods of positive motivation for adopting sustainable practices. ["

"text": "Viviscal Review Does It Regrow Hair? In Depth Review (Update 2018)March 22, 2018 by Joe Cannon 774 Comments Does Viviscal grow hair or is it a scam? That was the question I was recently asked by someone, so after asking myself “ what’s Viviscal? ” I did some digging and discovered that Viviscal is a hair loss treatment pill that you take to combat not only male pattern baldness but hair loss in women too. Turns out there are many Viviscal products- Viviscal shampoos ect – but I want to review Viviscal, the hair loss pill, because that’s what the research is on. Also read my review of gray hair supplements as well as castor oil and hair growth for more info. Who Makes Viviscal? Viviscal is sold by Lifes2good (Lifes2Good.com), a company that markets many health and beauty products. While the global corporate office is located in Ireland, in the US, they can be found at 355 N Canal Street Chicago IL 60606. They also have an office in London as well."

Can it reduce wrinkles, decrease body fat or give you stronger bones? Can it make you look –and feel- DECADES younger? Can it really raise HGH levels by 682%? These are just some of the words used to hint at what Sero Vital might do if you took it regularly. These are also some of the most impressive words I’ve ever seen for a supplement, so the logical question is, does it really work? In this review I’m going to look at the Sero Vital research study along with research on its ingredients. In addition, I’ll also try to answer some of my own questions that occurred to me as I investigated this supplement. Also see the review of Gen F20 Plus for more information. Terms Before we go any further, let me first briefly explain a couple terms that you may have heard about as you started to wonder if Sero Vital was right for you."

The aim of this lecture is to introduce you to: the core commitments of critical security studies two key theoretical approaches to Security Studies that responded to the post-Cold War call for new security thinking and suggest possible avenues for critique. These thoughts should serve to compliment your own reading and analysis - not replace it.2. Reflects theoretical developments in International Relations and the social sciences more widely. From 1980s onwards there was a move away from positivist approaches.3. • ‘ Critical’ in critical thinking does not refer to ‘criticising’ or being negative.• Rather critical thinking is an ethos. It involves questioning knowledge that is taken for granted.• ‘Critical thinking is not simply higher order thinking. Instead it is a search for the social, historical and political roots of conventional knowledge and an orientation to transform learning and society’ (Benesch, 1993).4. Critical security studies is not a coherent, unified body of scholarship, rather it includes a disparate body of scholarship (e.g., Poststructuralism, Feminisms, Critical Theory, Postcolonialism, Constructivism, Critical Geopolitics, etc.) that share similar critiques of orthodox security studies."

October 30, 2013 by Joe Cannon 243 Comments I like to surf around at various health and fitness websites because it not only lets me help answer peoples questions but it also allows me get an idea of what people are curious about. Over the last several months I've been noticing online chatter about Tribulus terrestris as a testosterone booster. I was a little surprised because tribulus terrestris was big in the early 1900's and then fell out of favor when people realized it didn't work. But maybe things have changed since I last reviewed the research so let me now take a fresh look at the tribulus terrestris research and see if there is anything new going on. Notice the amounts of used in the studies below. I'm telling you the amounts so you can compare it to what is in your tribulus supplement. Also check out what happened when I took tribulus for a few weeks and my review of the HGH supplement, Sero Vital. What Is Tribulus?

"text": "Chromium Picolinate Weight Loss and Side Effects What Is Chromium Picolinate? Does it Work? Chromium is an essential trace mineral found in various foods. You may hear that there is wide spread deficiency of Chromium Picolinate, however, there's little evidence to show that this is true. It's rare to find chromium deficiency so it's not necessary to supplement with chromium picolinate (CP) for that purpose. It plays a role in maintaining carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. It is also better absorbed than dietary chromium, so most research studies have been done using chromium picolinate, and this is also a partial reason why it is a commonly used supplement. Aside from that, CP is probably more often used as a weight loss aid and there are some claims that it can have benefits for improving body composition by reducing body fat while increasing lean body mass. Chromium Picolinate appears to be a rather popular and widely used supplement related to weight loss, and also for purposes of muscle gain. Unfortunately, scientific evidence speaks otherwise - in all the human studies that we looked at, none provided support for these types of claims."

"text": "\"Home Suppliers Ordering and Invoicing Electronic Data Interchange What is Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)? Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the electronic interchange of business information using a standardized format; a process which allows one company to send information to another company electronically rather than with paper. Business entities conducting business electronically are called trading partners. Many business documents can be exchanged using EDI, but the two most common are purchase orders and invoices. At a minimum, EDI replaces the mail preparation and handling associated with traditional business communication. However, the real power of EDI is that it standardizes the information communicated in business documents, which makes possible a \"\"paperless\"\" exchange. The traditional invoice illustrates what this can mean. Most companies create invoices using a computer system, print a paper copy of the invoice and mail it to the customer. Upon receipt, the customer frequently marks up the invoice and enters it into its own computer system. The entire process is nothing more than the transfer of information from the seller's computer to the customer's computer."

The benefits over using a paper system are clear:immense savings in timesignificant cost savingsreduced drain on resources overallreduced error rates in data transfer (we almost want to say ‘eliminate’ here! ) improved security of data being transferedreliability – you can have confidence that data is reaching its destination Plus, with electronic transfer of data, the likelihood of typographical errors decreases, as does the increase in time having to verify orders that have been filled out by someone with poor handwriting. It all adds up. Security of information is critical."

"text": "\"Who's Who in Middleware, 1Q04For many, the term \"\"middleware\"\" is ambiguous and, therefore, requires definition before discussion. Gartner's definition of middleware provides a comprehensive taxonomy of middleware functionality and middleware products. Management Summary This is a summary-level introduction to middleware functionality and products. This Strategic Analysis Report is intended to help IS architects, managers and developers understand the purpose and categories of middleware, and to serve as a reference to help them find relevant vendors and products. This document is divided into two sections: Middleware Functionality and Middleware Products. The Middleware Functionality section outlines the different features and capabilities of middleware. The Middleware Products section outlines the different available middleware product bundles and offerings. These topics are tightly related, so, for example, when reading about transformation in the Middleware Functionality section, you will learn that this functionality is included in integration suites, EDI tools and several other middleware products. On the other hand, when reading about integration suites in the Middleware Products section, you will learn that this product includes transformation, adapters and several other types of middleware functionality. This Strategic Analysis Report is an overview of middleware functionality and products – it is not a detailed explanation of how middleware products are built or used."

"text": "\"�Florida Crop/Pest Management Profile: Pecan 1Mark A. Mossler 2Production Facts In 2007, there were 963 pecan farms in Florida with a total reported acreage of 8,652 acres. Approximately three-quarters of this acreage (6,741 acres) was reported as bearing (1). Slightly over a third (3,153 acres) of Florida pecan acreage is native production, while the remainder (5,499 acres) is comprised of improved varieties (1,2). Florida pecan production has increased from the lows of 2004 and 2006 (a half million pounds in each of those years) to almost two million pounds in 2007. However, that amount is only about half of Florida pecan production at its peak (3.7 million pounds) in 1999. The value of Florida's 2005 crop was $1.5 million (3,4). Hurricanes and alternate bearing accounted for many of the low-production years (2). In 2007, Florida ranked thirteenth out of 15 states reporting pecan statistics. Florida accounts for less than one percent of pecans grown in the United States (4). Prices for pecan nuts have more than tripled in recent years, from a low of 45 cents per pound in 2001 to nearly $2 per pound in 2008."

"text": "14Feb What is Electronic Data Interchange in Healthcare? Blog 0 Comments By Gary Palgon The healthcare industry is one of the many industries that processes an enormous number of documents—patient medical records, health insurance reimbursements, and healthcare claims, among others. Using paper forms can be cumbersome, inefficient and expensive when you need to distribute, retrieve, organize, and search for data. So in 1991, in answer to the Bush administration’s concern for rising healthcare costs, the Workgroup for Electronic Data Interchange (WEDI) was formed. It was instrumental for the enactment of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996. Before HIPAA, the healthcare industry was using over 400 medical forms in various formats, most of which were paper based. Because healthcare data management was highly manual and ad hoc, protecting and securing healthcare information was a major concern. For example, in the US, “ privacy regulation consisted of a series of differing, industry-specific laws .” The Center for Democracy and Technology described the pre-HIPAA period as total absence of national health privacy law, federal limits on healthcare information processing, and federal right allowing patients to access their health care information. The enactment of HIPAA was intended to address these gaps."

"text": "\"Deposit Insurance FAQs Q: What is the FDIC? A: The FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) is an independent agency of the United States government that protects you against the loss of your insured deposits if an FDIC-insured bank or savings association fails. FDIC insurance is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government. Q: What is deposit insurance? A: FDIC deposit insurance covers the depositors of a failed FDIC-insured depository institution dollar-for-dollar, principal plus any interest accrued or due to the depositor, through the date of default, up to at least $250,000. For example, if a person had a CD account in her name alone with a principal balance of $195,000 and $3,000 in accrued interest, the full $198,000 would be insured, since principal plus interest did not exceed the $250,000 insurance limit for single ownership accounts. Q: What happens when a bank fails? A: Though unlikely, bank failures do occur and the FDIC responds in two capacities. First, as the insurer of the bank's deposits, the FDIC pays insurance to depositors up to the insurance limit. Historically, the FDIC pays insurance within a few days after a bank closing, usually the next business day, by either (1) providing each depositor with a new account at another insured bank in an amount equal to the insured balance of their account at the failed bank, or (2) by issuing a check to each depositor for the insured balance of their account at the failed bank."

"text": "\"Russian: Электронный обмен даннымиElectronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the electronic transfer of information between two trading partner’s systems using a set of transactions that have been adopted as a national or international standard for the particular business function. EDI is much more, than just e-mail. EDI provides a faster, more accurate, less costly method of communication. It reduces the amount of information that should be processed manually, thus it illuminates errors made because of the human factor (tiredness, inattentiveness, etc.). For instance, organizations might replace bills with appropriate EDI messages. Purchasing managers that usually do routine operations are substituted by EDI in automated relationships. EDI has become a requirement for doing business; it is particularly valuable in enhancing managerial information and control. [ 1]A technical definition of EDI is: \"\"the computer-to-computer interchange of strictly formatted messages that represent documents other than monetary instruments. EDI implies a sequence of messages between two parties, either of whom may serve as originator or recipient. The formatted data representing the documents may be transmitted from originator to recipient via telecommunications or physically transported on electronic storage media.\"\" ["

"text": "\"EDI Analyst An EDI analyst is a position within an organization that can be critical to ensuring the success of EDI usage. While it's very common for larger organizations to have more than one EDI analyst, smaller businesses often don't even have the position of EDI analyst and feel that the role of an analyst is not mandatory for them, relegating the duties of the EDI analyst to another IT employee. While at first this type of role-sharing may seem to be a good time and money saving technique, there are many important reasons to have a dedicated EDI analyst. What the EDI Analyst does The duties of an EDI analyst can be as varied as there are EDI users. Generally speaking however the EDI Analyst is going to be the person that is most familiar with your organization's use of EDI and with the software and services you use for EDI. For this reason the EDI analyst needs to be well versed in your company's business processes as well as in the features and capabilities of the EDI software you are using. If you are implementing EDI for the first try to resist the temptation to make your EDI analyst the IT person with the least workload currently available. While this may seem like a wise initial strategy, that person may not have the requisite business knowledge or skill set to learn your business and the software you will use. Using your EDI Analyst Once your system is operational the role of your EDI analyst will likely change from that of planner and designer to a role as overseer. In this day to day role the EDI Analyst will need to become familiar with the reporting and analysis functions of your EDI software to ensure that your use of EDI is not only satisfying the needs of your trading partners, but is also maximizing your return on investment in the EDI software."

I also want to show that there is more than one theme as well. I would like to show how Edie kept secrets and how she was blinded by love. I plan to show that this story contained secrecy almost to the ending. Alice Munro’s “How I Met My Husband” uses the themes of secrecy and love just about throughout the entire story. In this story Edie is a fifteen year old girl who is employed by the Pebble’s family. She initially succeeds at the job mainly because she withholds information from her employer’s. Munro shows how the theme of secrecy is also shown when Edie hides the box of fresh home cooked doughnuts under the bed. When the children find the doughnuts Edie swears them children to secrecy. Then when Edie is caught in Mrs. Pebble’s dress by Chris Watter’s, she swears him to secrecy, so he will not tell that she was wearing Mrs. Pebble’s clothes."

Your brain cells communicate via electrical impulses and are active all the time, even when you're asleep. This activity shows up as wavy lines on an EEG recording. An EEG is one of the main diagnostic tests for epilepsy. An EEG may also play a role in diagnosing other brain disorders. Why it's done An EEG can determine changes in brain activity that may be useful in diagnosing brain disorders, especially epilepsy. An EEG can't measure intelligence or detect mental illness. An EEG may be helpful for diagnosing or treating the following disorders: Epilepsy or other seizure disorder Brain tumor Head injury Brain dysfunction that may have a variety of causes (encephalopathy)Inflammation of the brain (encephalitis)Stroke Sleep disorders Dementia An EEG may also be used to confirm brain death in someone in a persistent coma. A continuous EEG is used to help find the right level of anesthesia for someone in a medically induced coma. Request an Appointment at Mayo Clinic Risks EEGs are safe and painless."

It has not been studied as much as some other types of epilepsy. It's possible that some seizure effects found in the frontal lobe may be the result of seizures that begin in other parts of the brain. Your doctor will first review your symptoms and medical history and give you a physical exam. Your physical may include a neurological exam, which will assess: Muscle strength Sensory skills Hearing and speech Vision Coordination and balance Your doctor may suggest the following tests. Brain scans. Frontal lobe seizures can be caused by tumors, abnormal blood vessels or injuries. Brain imaging, usually an MRI, may reveal the source. An MRI uses radio waves and a powerful magnetic field to produce very detailed images of soft tissues such as the brain. To undergo an MRI scan, you must lie on a narrow pallet that slides into a long tube."

"text": "\"Abnormal EEG - Absences and other stange symptoms in child Topic: Parents & Caregivers Hi, new here, hope someone can shed some light on my 12 year old Son's symptoms. He has always been considered as having some ADHD traits, not diagnosed though, and always high functioning. Has had a lot of strange symptoms that we had pinned down to psychological: seeing things ie. meteors, hearing things like name called, voice like sounds, (never bad though), de ja vue, feeling of electricity going through his body, numbness in lower teeth, occasional occurances of sudden strange vocalisation (but not like a tick) without knowing why, facial grimaces without knowing why, gets angry v easily - always had trouble with concentration, staying on task, remembering instructions or being in trouble for not listening at school. He is becoming more aware of missing important instructions, and even some time lapses in class, where he actually notices missing time. He can been seen staring for up to 30 secs, this is noticeable by his friends (who get bothered by it) and us. Anyway, finally got an EEG done, results are \"\"from the outset of recording, multifocal sharp waves seen in both frontal regions, and over the frontal poles irregular 3-4 and 4-6hz activity is seen. At times, sharp slow wave discharges spanning both cerebral hemispheres. Hyperventilation induces slowing to 3-4hz with increasing sharp wave activity seen in both the temporal and parietal regions, spreading in to the frontal poles with sharp slow wave dischares. So -as we haven't been able to see the neurologist yet, we are wondering if this could be causing all the other symptoms as well as the Absences."

"text": "New EEG Technology Makes for Better Brain Reading Recent developments have led to a portable but powerful new technology. Posted Sep 18, 2014SHARETWEETEMAILMORESource: Clinical psychologists have a long tradition of attempting to understand what is “on the mind” of their clients by use of psychological tests. The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scales, for example, have been used for decades to assess intelligence levels. And other empirically valid psychometric measures are commonly used to understand patient mood or personality functioning. To this point, direct examination of brain activity as a window into the client’s mind has remained elusive. But advances in the field of brain examination using electroencephalographs (EEGs) may be changing all that. The first EEG was developed in the 1920’s by the German psychiatrist Hans Berger. He developed it to test the biological electricity produced in the brain, and first used it during brain surgery performed in 1924 on a 17-year-old boy. If the EEG has been around for almost a century, why is it so important now? Recent technological advancements may soon have a profound impact on how mental health practitioners diagnose mental illness."

"text": "With Health Insurance: Copay or 10%-50% Coinsurance Without Health Insurance: $200-$3,000+E-mail Post Tweet Comments (6)An EEG, or electroencephalography, measures electrical activity in the brain and can be used in diagnosis and treatment of head injuries, infections, brain tumors, epilepsy, sleep disorders, coma and diseases such as Alzheimer's. It also can be used to monitor a patient during surgery. Typical costs: For patients covered by health insurance, typical out-of-pocket costs for an EEG would consist of a copay or coinsurance of 10%-50%. An EEG typically is covered by health insurance when medically necessary to diagnose or monitor a problem, or during surgery. For patients not covered by health insurance, an EEG typically costs $200-$700 or more for a standard EEG -- or up to $3,000 or more if extended monitoring is required. For example, Garden City Hospital [ 1] in Michigan charges $749 for an EEG, but offers the test for $199 through a special program for uninsured patients. St. Peter's Hospital [ 2] in Montana charges almost $500 for an awake-and-asleep EEG, about $630 for an awake-and-drowsy EEG and almost $1,300 for a 24-hour EEG. And Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center [ 3] in Nebraska, not including doctor fee, charges about $650 for an awake-and-drowsy EEG, about $700 for an awake-and-asleep EEG, about $1,100 for extended EEG monitoring of over an hour, and about $3,000 for EEG monitoring and video recording for 24 hours. Related articles: Brain Tumor Treatment, Sleep Center, Health Insurance What should be included: An EEG technologist will ask the patient to lie down and will use a sticky paste to attach multiple electrodes to the scalp. The provider might then ask the patient to perform various activities, such as stare at a light, relax with the eyes closed and go to sleep."

They usually begin within the first year of life, with most starting at 3 to 8 months of age. Spasms often occur several times in a row; this is called a cluster, and a child may have several clusters per day. Children with infantile spasms also have a characteristic EEG pattern called hypsarrythmia between and during seizures. In many cases, children with infantile spasms have existing neurological or developmental problems. Or spasms are the first presentation of an underlying condition. What are other terms for infantile spasms? Other terms for infantile spasms that you may come across include:salaam seizures West syndrome What causes infantile spasms? About 80% of infantile spasms are symptomatic. Over 200 disorders are associated with infantile spasms, including:brain malformationstuberous sclerosisbrain injury due to a variety of causes, including infections of the brain (such as meningitis CMV and toxoplasmosis) before birth or in the first few months of life; lack of oxygen at birth; previous strokes or blood clots; or trauma to the brainmetabolic conditionsbrain tumours (rarely)genetic abnormalities (such as Down syndrome)The proportion of infantile spasms that are classed as symptomatic has risen in recent years as neuroimaging techniques (MRI and CT scans) have improved."

"text": "An electroencephalogram (EEG) evaluates electrical activity produced by the brain, which can signify or rule out certain conditions, most commonly seizure disorders. The test takes about an hour to complete, and the results are automatically sketched on paper, while a video monitor records the movement of the patient, which can disrupt the test. It is easier to read an EEG of an adult than one of a child, since there is less variance in brain activity. There is often so much variance in brain activity that a reading taken on a child may be consistent with epilepsy where none exists. Generally, seizure disorder in children, without the presence of identifiable seizures, requires additional testing to have confirmed results. As a test progresses, if it is used to examine seizure disorder, a person may be directed to look at flashing lights, which might trigger a seizure. The lights are stopped if the readings show that a person is in pre-seizure mode. This means that the person generally doesn’t have a seizure during the test, but that it shows electrical activity consistent with what would become a seizure. An EEG may also be used to evaluate other conditions. For example, people who come to a hospital in an altered state of consciousness, perhaps after a head injury, would probably have this test performed."

Understanding the data in your sleep test report By Roby Sue Introduction I remember the only consultation I had with my first sleep doctor. It happened about a week after my diagnostic sleep test: He opened the conversation by waving my sleep report in front of my nose without really letting me see it and said, \"\"You stop breathing about 23 times an hour. You have moderate obstructive sleep apnea. You need CPAP. You need it now. When can you do the titration study?\"\" Several weeks later I finally got my hands on the report itself and I learned the truth wasn't quite so simple: Technically, I actually stopped breathing only about 3 or 4 times an hour, but roughly 20 times an hour my airway was partially collapsing and the amount of air getting into my lungs was dropping significantly, and I was arousing myself in order to start breathing normally again before any clinically significant O2 desats occurred. And certain times of night---such as when I was first trying to get into deep sleep, were worse than others. And unlike most people with OSA, all my apneas occurred in NREM sleep and I more hypopneas in NREM than I had in an equal amount of REM sleep."

An EEG is a test that detects abnormalities in your brain waves, or in the electrical activity of your brain. During the procedure, electrodes consisting of small metal discs with thin wires are pasted onto your scalp. The electrodes detect tiny electrical charges that result from the activity of your brain cells. The charges are amplified and appear as a graph on a computer screen, or as a recording that may be printed out on paper. Your healthcare provider then interprets the reading. During an EEG, your healthcare provider typically evaluates about 100 pages, or computer screens, of activity. He or she pays special attention to the basic waveform, but also examines brief bursts of energy and responses to stimuli, such as flashing lights. Evoked potential studies are related procedures that also may be done. These studies measure electrical activity in your brain in response to stimulation of sight, sound, or touch."

We focus on topics that are helpful for a clear understanding of the underlying concepts and its efficient implementation, which is especially important for EEG researchers unfamiliar with the technique. The popular methods of finite difference and splines are reviewed in detail. The former has the advantage of simplicity and low computational cost, but its estimates are prone to a variety of errors due to discretization. The latter eliminates all issues related to discretization and incorporates a regularization mechanism to reduce spatial noise, but at the cost of increasing mathematical and computational complexity. These and several other issues deserving further development are highlighted, some of which we address to the extent possible. Here we develop a set of discrete approximations for Laplacian estimates at peripheral electrodes. We also provide the mathematical details of finite difference approximations that are missing in the literature, and discuss the problem of computational performance, which is particularly important in the context of EEG splines where data sets can be very large. Along this line, the matrix representation of the surface Laplacian operator is carefully discussed and some figures are given illustrating the advantages of this approach. In the final remarks, we briefly sketch a possible way to incorporate finite-size electrodes into Laplacian estimates that could guide further developments."

"text": "Hello, meet my son Joshua! He is six years old, and he has a rare epilepsy known as Continuous Spikes and Waves of Slow Wave Sleep Syndrome (CSWS). This syndrome is commonly referred to as Electrical Status Epilepticus During Sleep (ESES). It appears to be quite rare comprising of less than 1% of all childhood epilepsies. The exact number of cases is unknown; however, it is believed that there are less than 1000 documented cases worldwide. When your child is diagnosed with this condition, the journey can prove to be quite confusing. This is because not much is known about the condition and the terms or abbreviations—CSWS, ESES, and Landau Kleffner Syndrome (LKS)—are often used interchangeably. It is my understanding that ESES refers to the unique EEG pattern of near continuous slow spike and wave activity on the EEG which occupies a significant portion of non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREM). What is considered “significant” is debatable, and some authors suggest thresholds range from 25% to 85%. CSWS refers to the epileptic encephalopathy associated with global regression."

"text": "\"Magnetic Resonance Imaging Medical Imaging Human Brain Neuroscience Medicine and Healthcare What does \"\"mild cortical atrophy\"\" mean in MRI report of the brain?2 Answers Charles Colip, MD Medicine and Healthcare, Temple University School of Medicine Answered Sep 6, 2017The easiest way to answer this question would be to hear the rest of the sentence in which the phrase “mild cortical atrophy” was used, or to see the images myself…In itself, this MRI/CT finding is very non-specific and could indicate any range of pathologic or essentially normal (expected for age change) conditions. The most common way I see the phrase used (and in which I use the phrase myself in daily practice) is when referring to DIFFUSE cortical volume loss (“atrophy”) related to the normal aging process, which is essentially “normal” as it is an expected change as patients enter their 60’s and later. Basically, the cortex is a layer of brain matter that covers the major cerebral lobes (frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital lobes) and white matter, and involves many functions depending on the location but include memory formation as well as the memory itself (kind of like data storage on a hardrive to way oversimplify it). Everyone loses their cortex as they age, the amount of loss and at what age it starts is a little different for everyone, but in general, normal “age-related” cortical volume loss/atrophy should affect the cortex in all lobes equally. That said, things quickly become tricky when you start to consider non-difuse (“focal” regions of) cortical atrophy. These are specific regions of cortex that have shrunken more than the cortex in the rest of the brain. Sometimes this means that although the overall cortex is smaller when compared to the scan of an adult in their 30–40s, there is one (or a few) regions of the brain that are MUUCHHH smaller (“out of proportion”) than the rest. The potential causes of this are endless but the two categories that come to mind are neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimers, or encephalomalacia (usually from a prior stroke but also surgery or congenital).2k Views · View Upvoters · Answer requested by George Thompsonpromoted by MSW@USCBachelor's required.

There are many types of brain maps – including MRIs, PET scans, and SPECT scans. But the EEG map provides the best information for neurofeedback training. It shows brain timing issues which impact mood, behavior, and attention, and it measures cortical timing. The EEG patterns from an individual’s brain are compared with a “normative database” of other individual EEGs. These databases compare the individual’s EEG pattern with a group of carefully-selected, normal, healthy people in a similar age group. The q EEG report helps identify where significant differences exist between the person being tested and the normative group. There are hundreds, even thousands, of measurements. Much like a blood test, the clinician must know how to interpret the test results, including which are significant and relate to the client’s problems."

Sometimes a specific traumatic event can be identified in many people with PNES. The most reliable test to make the diagnosis of PNES is video EEG monitoring. A therapeutic technique called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing works for some people with PNES. More research is needed to find additional ways to treat PNES. Published November 1, 2007Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) are an uncomfortable topic, one that is difficult for both patients and healthcare professionals to discuss and treat. Yet it is estimated that PNES are diagnosed in 20 to 30% of patients seen at epilepsy centers for intractable seizures. 1 Moreover, in the general population the prevalence rate is 2-33 per 100,000, making PNES nearly as prevalent as multiple sclerosis or trigeminal neuralgia. 2 Despite these startling statistics, PNES has largely remained a conversation held behind closed doors and in hushed tones throughout the medical community – until now. In addition to being common, psychogenic symptoms pose an uncomfortable and often frustrating challenge, both in diagnosis and management,” said Selim R. Benbadis MD."

An EEG tracks and records brain wave patterns. Small metal discs with thin wires (electrodes) are placed on the scalp, and then send signals to a computer to record the results. Normal electrical activity in the brain makes a recognizable pattern. Through an EEG, doctors can look for abnormal patterns that indicate seizures and other problems. Why It's Done Most EEGs are done to diagnose and monitor seizure disorders. EEGs also can identify causes of other problems, such as sleep disorders and changes in behavior. They're sometimes used to evaluate brain activity after a severe head injury or before a heart transplant or liver transplant. Preparation If your child is having an EEG, preparation is minimal. Your child's hair should be clean and free of oils, sprays, and conditioner to help the electrodes stick to the scalp."

"text": "\"Drugs & Diseases > Neurology Generalized EEG Waveform Abnormalities Updated: May 21, 2014Author: Jane G Boggs, MD; Chief Editor: Selim R Benbadis, MD more... Share Email Print Feedback Overview Generalized EEG abnormalities typically signify dysfunction of the entire brain, although such dysfunction may not be symmetric in distribution. Generalized patterns thus may be described further as maximal in one region of the cerebrum (eg, frontal) or in one hemisphere compared to the other. Identification of an abnormality as generalized may require analysis of the EEG by several montages to determine lack of focal point. Careful elimination of external and bioelectric artifact is important to avoid misinterpretation of noncerebral activity (eg, ECG), which can contaminate multiple channels, appearing as generalized abnormalities. This article discusses EEG patterns that usually are generalized and are not considered primarily ictal. Many of these patterns occur in encephalopathic states, which themselves can lower a patient's threshold for seizures. Some patterns can be considered epileptiform since they contain spikes, sharp transients, or rhythmic paroxysmal patterns. Remember that the term epileptiform is descriptive of an EEG's appearance only and does not necessarily imply that the pattern is epileptogenic. One must always consider how the patient appears clinically while the EEG is recording. Certainly, correlation with episodic behavior, reactivity, or changes in level of response may indicate that even a vague slow generalized pattern may imply seizures. ["

"text": "Home > Health Library Electroencephalogram (EEG)<< Back to Neurological Tests and Procedures What is an EEG? An EEG is a test that detects abnormalities in your brain waves, or in the electrical activity of your brain. During the procedure, electrodes consisting of small metal discs with thin wires are pasted onto your scalp. The electrodes detect tiny electrical charges that result from the activity of your brain cells. The charges are amplified and appear as a graph on a computer screen, or as a recording that may be printed out on paper. Your healthcare provider then interprets the reading. During an EEG, your healthcare provider typically evaluates about 100 pages, or computer screens, of activity. He or she pays special attention to the basic waveform, but also examines brief bursts of energy and responses to stimuli, such as flashing lights. Evoked potential studies are related procedures that also may be done. These studies measure electrical activity in your brain in response to stimulation of sight, sound, or touch."

The brain is incredibly fast, and even minuscule differences in timing in a brain area can have profound functional implications. In very simple terms, a q EEG is a computer analysis of the EEG data. It typically uses 19 or more channels of simultaneous EEG recording under specific recording conditions. An example of raw data of a q EEG.

Electroencephalography Definition Electroencephalography, or EEG, is a neurological test that uses an electronic monitoring device to measure and record electrical activity in the brain. Purpose The EEG is a key tool in the diagnosis and management of epilepsy and other seizure disorders. It is also used to assist in the diagnosis of brain damage and disease (e.g., stroke, tumors,encephalitis), mental retardation, sleep disorders, degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer'sdisease and Parkinson's disease, and certain mental disorders (e.g., alcoholism, schizophrenia, autism). An EEG may also be used to monitor brain activity during surgery and to determine brain death. Precautions Electroencephalography should be administered and interpreted by a trained medicalprofessional only. Data from an EEG is only one element of a complete medical and/orpsychological patient assessment, and should never be used alone as the sole basis for a diagnosis. Description Before the EEG begins, a nurse or technician attaches approximately 16-20 electrodes to thepatient's scalp with a conductive, washable paste. Depending on the purpose for the EEG,implantable or invasive electrodes are occasionally used."

An EEG gives information about the electrical activity of the brain during the time the test is happening. When someone has an epileptic seizure their brain activity changes. This change, known as epileptiform brain activity, can sometimes be seen on an EEG recording. Some people can have epileptiform brain activity even when they do not appear to be having a seizure, so an EEG can be particularly useful for them. Epileptiform activity can sometimes be provoked (brought on) by deep breathing. The test may include deep breathing to see if epileptiform activity can be provoked and recorded."

It is typically noninvasive, with the electrodes placed along the scalp, although invasive electrodes are sometimes used such as in electrocorticography. EEG measures voltage fluctuations resulting from ionic current within the neurons of the brain. [ 1] In clinical contexts, EEG refers to the recording of the brain's spontaneous electrical activity over a period of time, [1] as recorded from multiple electrodes placed on the scalp. Diagnostic applications generally focus either on event-related potentials or on the spectral content of EEG. The former investigates potential fluctuations time locked to an event like stimulus onset or button press. The latter analyses the type of neural oscillations (popularly called \"\"brain waves\"\") that can be observed in EEG signals in the frequency domain."

Applying this definition operationally can be difficult, especially for complex partial seizures, where cognitive and sensorimotor impairments merge imperceptibly into the postictal state. Many patients are unaware of even having had a seizure. Electroencephalography sometimes helps to distinguish ictal from postictal periods, but may demonstrate focal slowing both during and after a seizure. Epileptiform electroencephalographic changes do not always correspond precisely to behavioral changes, especially with scalp recordings. The postictal state ends at the interictal state, but this too can be ambiguous. Interictal spikes and spike–waves can be associated with cognitive and behavioral impairments, suggesting that they may represent fragments of ictal episodes. Except where boundaries are clear, it is better to describe a sequence of behaviors and electroencephalographic changes, without labeling arbitrary stages as being ictal or postictal.

Neurologists do not perform surgery. A neurologist's training includes an undergraduate degree, four years of medical school, a one-year internship, and at least three years of specialized training. Many neurologists also have additional training in other areas—or subspecialties—of neurology such as stroke, epilepsy, neuromuscular disease, and movement disorders. These are some of the more common subspecialties within the field of neurology. What Does a Neurologist Treat? Common neurologic disorders include: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, also called Lou Gehrig's disease)Alzheimer's disease Brain and spinal cord injuries Brain tumors Epilepsy Headache Pain Multiple Sclerosis Parkinson's disease Stroke Tremor What is the Role of a Neurologist?

Electroencephalography (EEG) technicians use specialized equipment to record and study patients' brain waves and electrical impulses of the nervous system. This process involves applying electrodes to a patient's scalp, and insuring that the connection between the electrodes and scalp is good enough to pick up surface neuro-electric activity from the brain. Often patients will not have a full range of mobility and EEG technicians may have to work with other medical staff to apply electrodes. When applying electrodes there is a need for clear communications between patients and/or other medical assistants. After applying electrodes EEG technicians monitor EEG data as it is recorded and then prepare reports for physicians to analyze.

It is a readily available test that provides evidence of how the brain functions over time. The EEG is used in the evaluation of brain disorders. Most commonly it is used to show the type and location of the activity in the brain during a seizure. It also is used to evaluate people who are having problems associated with brain function. These problems might include confusion, coma, tumors, long-term difficulties with thinking or memory, or weakening of specific parts of the body (such as weakness associated with a stroke ). An EEG is also used to determine brain death. It may be used to prove that someone on life-support equipment has no chance of recovery. Scientists first captured and recorded brain waves in dogs in 1912. By the 1950s the EEG was used commonly throughout the United States."

For patients not covered by health insurance, an EEG typically costs $200-$700 or more for a standard EEG -- or up to $3,000 or more if extended monitoring is required. For example, Garden City Hospital [ 1] in Michigan charges $749 for an EEG, but offers the test for $199 through a special program for uninsured patients. St. Peter's Hospital [ 2] in Montana charges almost $500 for an awake-and-asleep EEG, about $630 for an awake-and-drowsy EEG and almost $1,300 for a 24-hour EEG. And Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center [ 3] in Nebraska, not including doctor fee, charges about $650 for an awake-and-drowsy EEG, about $700 for an awake-and-asleep EEG, about $1,100 for extended EEG monitoring of over an hour, and about $3,000 for EEG monitoring and video recording for 24 hours. Related articles: Brain Tumor Treatment, Sleep Center, Health Insurance What should be included: An EEG technologist will ask the patient to lie down and will use a sticky paste to attach multiple electrodes to the scalp. The provider might then ask the patient to perform various activities, such as stare at a light, relax with the eyes closed and go to sleep."

These types of seizures originate in the front of the brain. Frontal lobe seizures may also be caused by abnormal brain tissue, infection, injury, stroke, tumors or other conditions. Because the frontal lobe is large and has many important functions, frontal lobe seizures may produce a number of unusual symptoms that can appear to be related to a psychiatric problem or a sleep disorder. Frontal lobe seizures often occur during sleep and may feature bicycle pedaling motions and pelvic thrusting. Some people scream profanities or laugh during frontal lobe seizures. Medications usually can control frontal lobe seizures, but surgery or an electrical stimulation device may be options if anti-epileptic drugs aren't effective. Brain lobes Each side of your brain contains four lobes. The frontal lobe is important for cognitive functions and control of voluntary movement or activity. The parietal lobe processes information about temperature, taste, touch and movement, while the occipital lobe is primarily responsible for vision."

"text": "Generalized Seizures (Grand Mal Seizures)Health Guide More Normally, the brain’s nerve cells (neurons) communicate with one another by firing tiny electric signals that pass from cell to cell. The firing pattern of these electric signals reflects how busy the brain is. The location of these signals indicates what the brain is doing, such as thinking, seeing, feeling, hearing, controlling the movement of muscles, etc. A seizure occurs when the firing pattern of the brain’s electric signals suddenly becomes very abnormal and unusually intense, either in an isolated area of the brain or throughout the brain. If the whole brain is involved, the electrical disturbance is called a generalized seizure. This type of seizure used to be called a grand mal seizure. The most easily recognizable symptom of a generalized seizure is the body stiffness and jerking limbs known as tonic-clonic motor activity. Epilepsy is the condition of being prone to repeated seizures, but this can be any kind of seizures, not just generalized seizures. A person can have a seizure without having epilepsy. Today, seizure disorder is the term used more commonly than epilepsy."

"text": "a closer look at EEGWhen someone has had seizures, and it is thought that they might have epilepsy, there are various tests that their specialist might ask for. Two of these tests are the electroencephalogram (EEG) and MRI. Before we look at EEG in detail, we need to understand that neither of the tests will say for certain whether the person has epilepsy or not. But these tests, alongside other information, might help the specialist to decide if epilepsy is a likely cause of the seizures. Electroencephalographs - EEGs Not all seizures are due to epilepsy. There are other medical conditions that might cause someone to have a seizure for example, diabetes. The difference between epileptic seizures and other seizures is that epileptic seizures are caused by a disruption in the way the brain is working. The fact that epileptic seizures always start in the brain is important when considering the EEG. An EEG looks at what is happening in the brain – the activity of the brain cells. It does not look at the structure of the brain (how the brain is made up).‘Brain waves’ and electrical signals Brain cells (neurones) work by sending nerve impulses from one cell to another to transfer messages around the brain and the body."

In absence seizures, brain-imaging studies, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), will be normal.

Abstract Purpose Standard polysomnography (PSG) typically utilizes 4–6 channels of electroencephalography (EEG), which is inadequate to evaluate focal epileptiform activity. Though technical capability has long existed for more extensive EEG recording, few sleep laboratories have utilized this technique. The objective of this study was to determine the utility of combining PSG with 18-channel EEG in select patients with paroxysmal nocturnal events or other symptoms concerning for sleep disorders, nocturnal seizures or both. Methods Consecutive combined PSG–EEG studies ( n = 237) were performed between 10/1/2005 and 8/1/2009. Demographics, referral source, indications, and results were reviewed and analyzed. Results Of the 237 consecutive combined PSG–EEG studies performed, 93% revealed the presence of a primary sleep disorder, 38% were shown to have abnormal EEGs, and 37% had both. Among the 221 subjects (93%) shown to have sleep disorders, the majority of these cases were obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) 89%, followed by periodic limp movements of sleep (PLMS) 22% and rapid eye movement behavior disorder (RBD) 6%. Significantly more patients with known epilepsy were diagnosed with OSA then were patients without a seizure history. Conclusions Combined PSG–EEG, utilizing 18-channel EEG, is an under-utilized technique which can assist in diagnosing paroxysmal nocturnal events, and differentiate between the presence of a primary sleep disorder, seizure activity, or both."

Highland Hospital and the specialists at Highland Neurology are available to help if you or a family member suffer from seizures or epilepsy. What Causes Seizures? There are many different causes of seizures. According to some studies, between 7% and 10% of people will suffer a single isolated seizure at some time in their life. Evaluation of a first seizure requires a careful neurologic history and examination, often followed by other specialized tests. Often the cause of a seizure is never discovered, despite extensive testing. Even if that is the case, your neurologist will be able to work with you to figure out what the next step should be."

There are many types of brain maps – including MRIs, PET scans, and SPECT scans. But the EEG map provides the best information for neurofeedback training. It shows brain timing issues which impact mood, behavior, and attention, and it measures cortical timing. The EEG patterns from an individual’s brain are compared with a “normative database” of other individual EEGs. These databases compare the individual’s EEG pattern with a group of carefully-selected, normal, healthy people in a similar age group. The q EEG report helps identify where significant differences exist between the person being tested and the normative group. There are hundreds, even thousands, of measurements. Much like a blood test, the clinician must know how to interpret the test results, including which are significant and relate to the client’s problems."

Your brain cells communicate via electrical impulses and are active all the time, even when you're asleep. This activity shows up as wavy lines on an EEG recording. An EEG is one of the main diagnostic tests for epilepsy. An EEG may also play a role in diagnosing other brain disorders. Why it's done An EEG can determine changes in brain activity that may be useful in diagnosing brain disorders, especially epilepsy. An EEG can't measure intelligence or detect mental illness. An EEG may be helpful for diagnosing or treating the following disorders: Epilepsy or other seizure disorder Brain tumor Head injury Brain dysfunction that may have a variety of causes (encephalopathy)Inflammation of the brain (encephalitis)Stroke Sleep disorders Dementia An EEG may also be used to confirm brain death in someone in a persistent coma.

March 2018 Caption Contest Help select the $100 February Caption Contest winner.by talaxandra Pro Views: 129,467 Comments: 234I'm about to begin a Masters research project about ICU nurses talking to brain-dead patients (oh the joys of ethics approval committees!). My interest in this started when I read 'Rethinking life and death' by ethicist Peter Singer - he described observing nurses in ICU talking to brain dead patients as though they were alive, and from that decided they did it because they didn't understand that the patients were clinically dead. I think that nurses who talk to their brain dead patients do it for a variety of reasons, which may included (but are not limited) to issues about reconciling the apparently living body (sensory knowledge) with knowledge about brain death (intellectual knowledge). I don't work in ICU, though I do work on a nero unit; I always talk to the unconscious, and sometimes talk to patients who have died. I was at a conference in the UK last year, and an ICU nurse educator said that she not only never talks to brain dead patients, she corrects any students who do. However, one of the anaesthetists there always speaks to his brian dead patients. They're ruining my research! What do you all think?"

We reviewed the literature to examine the reasons, frequency, and meaning of this problem. We found that this phenomenon occurs: (1) before increasing intracranial pressure completely shuts down flow; (2) in infants with pliable skulls; and with (3) decompressing fractures, (4) ventricular shunts, (5) ineffective deep brain flow, (6) reperfusion, (7) brain herniation, (8) jugular reflux, (9) emissary veins, and (10) pressure injection artifacts. Isolated venous sinus visualization is common (occurring in up to 57%) but represents trivial blood flow and confirms brain death. Arterial flow is much less common (2.6% incidence in our series). Normal flow occurs but is rare. Arterial flow does not exclude brain death, but the diagnosis should be confirmed by repeated studies or other means. We recently reported results of 229 radionuclide studies in 219 patients with suspected brain death. [ 1] Seven examinations showed some arterial flow in 6 patients who were clinically brain dead. Brain death was confirmed by electroencephalography (EEG) in 2 patients, repeat radionuclide angiography was done in 3, and the remaining patient had cardiac arrest within 24 hours."
