First, you have a signal from the primary motor cortex and its associated brain areas that send the main signals. These are modified through connections to the cerebellum that sends signals to fine tune the motor output signal."

"text": "Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology Volume 157, Issue 1, 1 July 2007, Pages 83-92Autonomic innervation of the carotid body: Role in efferent inhibition Verónica A. Campanucci 1 Colin A. Nurse Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.resp.2007.01.020 Get rights and content Abstract The carotid body (CB) is a chemosensory organ that monitors blood chemicals and initiates compensatory reflex adjustments to maintain homeostasis. The ‘afferent’ sensory discharge induced by changes in blood chemicals, e.g. low PO 2 (hypoxia), is relayed by carotid sinus nerve (CSN) fibers and has been well studied. Much less is known, however, about a parallel autonomic (parasympathetic) ‘efferent’ pathway that is the source of CB inhibition. This pathway is the focus of this review which begins with a historical account of the early findings and links them to more recent data on the source of this innervation, and the role of endogenous neurotransmitters in efferent inhibition. We review evidence that these autonomic neurons are embedded in ‘paraganglia’ within the glossopharyngeal (GPN) and CSN nerves, and for the role of nitric oxide (NO) in mediating efferent inhibition. Finally, we discuss recent data linking the action of hypoxia and a key CB neurotransmitter, i.e. ATP, to potential mechanisms for activating this efferent pathway. Previous article Next article Keywords Carotid body Efferent innervation Efferent inhibition Hypoxia ATP Nitric oxide Paraganglia Glossopharyngeal neurons1. Introduction The mammalian carotid body (CB) is a major chemosensory organ located strategically at the bifurcation of the common carotid artery. It is a polymodal sensor of a variety of chemicals in arterial blood, including low PO 2 (hypoxia), and initiates compensatory reflexes so as to maintain homeostasis. The organ receives afferent sensory innervation from the carotid sinus nerve (CSN), whose activity increases during hypoxia and leads to compensatory reflex hyperventilation."

Follow 2 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: All Reflex arcs have 5 essential components: 1) Receptor: Site of the stimulus action 2) Sensory Neuron: Transmits afferent impulses to the central nervous system 3) Integration Center: In simple reflex arcs, may be a single synapse between a sensory neuron and a motor neuron (monosynaptic reflex). More complex reflex arcs involve multiple synapses with chains of interneurons (polysynaptic reflex). The integration center is always within the central nervous system. 4) Motor Neuron: Conducts efferent impulses from the integration center to an efferent organ. 5) Effector: Muscle fiber or gland cell that responds to the efferent impulses (by contracting or secreting). Reflexes are classified functionally as somatic reflexes i they activate skeletal muscle, or as autonomic reflexes if they activate visceral effectors (smooth or cardiac muscle or glands).

"text": "\"5.1 INTRODUCTIONThe focus of this book is primarily the electric activity of nerve and muscle and the extracellular electric and magnetic fields that they generate. It is possible to undertake such a study without considering the functional role of nerve and muscle in physiology. But without some life science background, the reader's evaluation of electrophysiological signals would necessarily be handicapped. For that reason, we have included an overview, with appropriate terminology, of relevant topics in physiology. This chapter is therefore devoted to a survey of the organization of the nervous system and its main components. It is hoped that the reader will find it helpful for understanding of the physiological function of the excitable tissues discussed in other chapters, and to know what to look for elsewhere. For further study, we suggest the following texts: Jewett and Rayner (1984); Kuffler, Nicholls, and Martin (1984); Nunez (1981); Patton et al. ( 1989); Schmidt (1981); Shepherd (1988); all of which appear in the list of references. A discussion of the nervous system might logically begin with sensory cells located at the periphery of the body. These cells initiate and conduct signals to the brain and provide various sensory inputs such as vision, hearing, posture, and so on."

It consists of both afferent and efferent motoric and sensory fibers as well as proprioceptive, sympathetic and parasympathetic fibers that are divided into three main branches: the ophthalmic nerve, the maxillary nerve and the mandibular nerve. Together these branches innervate the three areas of the head. The word Afferent means toward the centre, as in from a peripheral area of a limb to the central nervous system. The word efferent is the opposite of afferent, meaning away from the centre and toward the periphery; when the stimulus is carried back to the brain from a peripheral area. The third division of the trigeminal nerve is the mandibular nerve. This division innervates the lower third of the face which includes the lower lip, the jaw, the preauricular area and the temporal area. Recommended video: Musculocutaneous nerve Anatomy and supply of the musculocutaneous nerve. Efferent Pathway The pathway for the efferent fibers of the main branch of the trigeminal nerve before and after its division is the following (From the initiation in the brain to the termination in the periphery): The motor nucleus of the trigeminal nerve gives efferent fibers to the trigeminal ganglion, otherwise known as the semilunar gasseri ganglion. The pontine region also gives proprioceptive fibers to the nerve bundle before it reaches the gasseri ganglion."

The kidney, to fulfill its homeostatic role, interfaces directly with the intravascular compartment where it modifies the composition and quantity of body fluid via its excretory and endocrine functions. Each human kidney is endowed with approximately 106 nephrons. The bisected surface of the kidney consists of the lighter-colored outer cortex and the darker-appearing inner medulla. The medulla is further divided radially into outer and inner regions with the outer medulla subdivided into outer and inner stripes. There is a drastic morphologic change from the visceral epithelium to the proximal tubule at the exact junction where filtration function ceases and resorptive and secretory functions commence. The proximal tubule can be subdivided anatomically in two ways. The initial convoluted portion (pars convolute) is entirely in the cortex, and the subsequent straight portion (pars recta) is in the cortex and the outer stripe of the outer medulla. The distal convoluted tubule (DCT) starts shortly after the macula densa. The distal convoluted tubule is heterogeneous and can be divided into an early (DCT1) and late portion (DCT2) with functionally but not so much morphologically distinct characteristics."

Nausea generally precedes vomiting, but can occur by itself. The system that brings about the loss of gastric tone, of gastric relaxation, is the efferent part of the long loop intestinal reflex that relaxes the gut during food intake. Retching Retching is a strong involuntary effort to vomit, and usually follows nausea. During retching, the abdominal muscles, chest wall and diaphragm all contract without any expulsion of gastric contents. Vomiting Vomiting is the forceful expulsion of the contents of the gastrointestinal system out through the mouth. From an evolutionary perspective, it is thought to have evolved as a defense mechanism of the body, serving a protective function to rid the body of noxious substances that have been ingested, rather than allowing them to be retained and absorbed by the intestine. Contrary to popular belief, the stomach itself does not actively expel its contents during vomiting. The stomach, oesophagus, and their relevant sphincters are all in fact relaxed during vomiting. Most of the force that expels the contents arises from the contraction of the diaphragm, which is the major respiratory muscle, and the abdominal muscles, which are the muscles involved in active expiration."

Each neuroblast in the dorsal root ganglion produces a process that bifurcate into peripheral and central branches. The central branch pierces the dorsolateral aspect of the spinal cord, forming the dorsal root. Upon entering the spinal cord, the dorsal root axon characteristically branches. The branches may run up or down the cord, but at the level of the entry, the axon synapses variously on dorsal horn neurons, spinal interneurons and ventral horn motorneurons. The peripheral branch extends to a receptor in the skin or viscera.

Possible Answers: Blinking follows an efferent pathway Breathing follows an afferent pathway Walking follows an afferent pathway A bug walking on your leg follows an efferent pathway Cold water on your hand follows an efferent pathway Correct answer: Blinking follows an efferent pathway Explanation: Efferent pathways carry signals away from the central nervous system. Essentially, they are signals that your brain sends to tell your body to do something, like blinking. Afferent signals come from outside stimuli and tell your brain what they are sensing, such as temperature. Afferent neurons bring stimuli to the brain, where the signal is integrated and processed. The brain then coordinates a response via efferent signals back to the rest of the body. Report an Error Example Question #1 : Understanding Afferent And Efferent Neurons Where do motor outputs from the brain exit the spinal cord? Possible Answers: Dorsal root Anterior root Intervertebral foramen Ventral root Posterior root Correct answer: Ventral root Explanation: The ventral root of the spinal cord is located anteriorly, while the dorsal root is located posteriorly. Afferent neurons enter the spinal cord through the dorsal root, carrying signals from the body to the brain. Efferent neurons exit the spinal cord from the ventral root before interfacing with their target muscles."

"text": "Preganglionic Neurons In the autonomic nervous system (ANS), nerve fibers that connect the central nervous system to ganglia are known as preganglionic fibers. Learning Objectives Describe characteristics of preganglionic neurons of the autonomic nervous system Key Takeaways Key Points All preganglionic fibers of the ANS are cholinergic —meaning they have acetylcholine as their neurotransmitter, and are myelinated for faster transmission. Differences between sympathetic and parasympatheic preganglionic fibers include that sympathetic preganglionic fibers tend to be shorter than parasympathetic fibers and sympathetic fibers tend to form more synapses than parasympathetic fibers. The parasympathetic division (craniosacral outflow) consists of cell bodies from one of two locations: the brainstem (cranial nerves III, VII, IX, X) or the sacral spinal cord (S2, S3, S4). The sympathetic division (thoracolumbar outflow) consists of cell bodies in the lateral horn of the spinal cord (intermediolateral cell columns) from T1 to L2. These cell bodies are GVE (general visceral efferent ) neurons and are the preganglionic neurons. Key Termscholinergic: Pertaining to, activated by, producing, or having the same function as acetylcholine.postsynaptic neuron: The nerve cell that bears receptors for neurotransmitters released into the synaptic cleft by the presynaptic neuron.preganglionic fiber: In the autonomic nervous system, fibers from the CNS to the ganglion are known as preganglionic fibers.ganglion: A cluster of interconnecting nerve cells outside the brain.preganglionic neuron: The nerve fibers that supply a ganglion. Preganglionic Neuron Properties In the autonomic nervous system (ANS), fibers from the central nervous system to the ganglion are known as preganglionic fibers. All preganglionic fibers, whether they are in the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) or in the parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS), are cholinergic—that is, these fibers use acetylcholine as their neurotransmitter—and are myelinated. The ANS is unique in that it requires a sequential two-neuron efferent pathway; the preganglionic neuron must first cross a synapse onto a postganglionic neuron before innervating the target organ."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Commemorative Marriage Scarab for Queen Tiye from Amenhotep III. Walters Art Museum, Baltimore Scarabs were popular amulets and impression seals in Ancient Egypt. They survive in large numbers and, through their inscriptions and typology, they are an important source of information for archaeologists and historians of the ancient world. They also represent a significant body of ancient art. For reasons that are not clear (although no doubt connected to the religious significance of the Egyptian god Khepri ), amulets in the form of scarab beetles had become enormously popular in Ancient Egypt by the early Middle Kingdom (approx. 2000 BCE) and remained popular for the rest of the pharaonic period and beyond. During that long period the function of scarabs repeatedly changed. Primarily amulets, they were also inscribed for use as personal or administrative seals or were incorporated into jewelry. Some scarabs were apparently created for political or diplomatic purposes to commemorate or advertise royal achievements. By the early New Kingdom, heart scarabs had become part of the battery of amulets protecting mummies."

Later, it became the symbol of the west bank of the Nile, where the sun set and also where the Egyptians traditionally buried their dead. Akhet This symbol represents the horizon from which the sun emerged and disappeared. The horizon thus embodied the idea of both sunrise and sunset. It is similar to the two peaks of the Djew or mountain symbol with solar disk in the center. Both the beginning and the end of each day was guarded by Aker, a double lion god. In the New Kingdom, Harmakhet (\"\"Horus in the Horizon\"\") became the god of the rising and setting sun. He was pictured as a falcon, or as a sphinx with the body of a lion.

"text": "\"Egyptian Afterlife Ancient Egyptian civilization was based on religion; their belief in the rebirth after death became their driving force behind their funeral practices. Death was simply a temporary interruption, rather than complete cessation, of life, and that eternal life could be ensured by means like piety to the gods, preservation of the physical form through Mummification, and the provision of statuary and other funerary equipment. Each human consisted of the physical body, the 'ka', the 'ba', and the 'akh'. The Name and Shadow were also living entities. To enjoy the afterlife, all these elements had to be sustained and protected from harm. Before the Old Kingdom, bodies buried in desert pits were naturally preserved by desiccation. The arid, desert conditions continued to be a boon throughout the history of ancient Egypt for the burials of the poor, who could not afford the elaborate burial preparations available to the elite. Wealthier Egyptians began to bury their dead in stone tombs and, as a result, they made use of artificial mummification, which involved removing the internal organs, wrapping the body in linen, and burying it in a rectangular stone sarcophagus or wooden coffin. Beginning in the Fourth Dynasty, some parts were preserved separately in canopic jars. By the New Kingdom, the ancient Egyptians had perfected the art of mummification; the best technique took 70 days and involved removing the internal organs, removing the brain through the nose, and desiccating the body in a mixture of salts called natron."

Much of what they experienced in the world around them was unknowable and frightening. The ancient Egyptian gods and goddesses represented aspects of the Egyptians’ natural and “supernatural” surroundings and helped them understand its many aspects. Ammut Demons Demons were more powerful than human beings but not as powerful as gods. They were usually immortal, could be in more than one place at a time, and could affect the world as well as people in supernatural ways. But there were certain limits to their powers and they were neither all-powerful nor all knowing. Among demons the most important figure was Ammut – the Devourer of the Dead – part crocodile, part lioness, and part hippopotamus. She was often shown near the scales on which the hearts of the dead were weighed against the feather of Truth. She devoured the hearts of those whose wicked deeds in life made them unfit to enter the afterlife. Apepi, another important demon, (sometimes called Apophis) was the enemy of the sun god in his daily cycle through the cosmos, and is depicted as a colossal snake."

Egyptian art and jewelry was never just art, but represented a deeper meaning, which even today baffles archaeologists. The rarity and exquisite nature of Egyptian jewelry was not only reserved for women, but men as well. Both men and women wore the Ancient Egyptian jewelry, and these personal adornments were not just limited to beaded necklaces and finger rings. Jewelry such as anklets, collars, bracelets, fillets and earrings embodied everyday Egyptian dress, so much so, that even in death the poorest of individuals would still be found wearing a string of beads or a simple bracelet. Excavations and grave robbing in the Saqqara Necropolis has turned up loose beads and trinkets from the mass graves and tombs of the ancient Egyptians. In fact, these loose beads are often picked up by local merchants and sold to gullible tourists. Why the Ancient Egyptians Wore Jewelry? The Ancient Egyptians wore the ornamental jewelry for many reasons, however the more fundamental reason and purpose was to guard them from mysterious hostile forces."

"text": "Animals and the Gods of Ancient Egyptby Caroline Seawright Egyptian towns usually had their own local sacred animal. It was thought that some gods and goddesses represented themselves on earth in the form of a single representative of a specific species, and honoring that species of animal would please the god or goddess associated with the animal. The animal believed to be the incarnation of the god or goddess lived a pampered life in and near the temples and religious centers. Baboon y`n - The dog-headed baboon was one of the manifestations of both Thoth, god of writing, and Khonsu, the youthful moon god. Both deities were related to the moon. Hapy, the son of Horus who guarded the canopic jars that held the lungs, had the head of a baboon. There was also a baboon god in the Early Dynastic period named Hedjwer, 'The Great White One', who became closely linked with Thoth. Sometimes Thoth was shown in baboon form, perched on top of the scales of judgement in the underworld. Cat myw - Many deities were depicted as cats, both domestic or wild, and so they were seen as benevolent, sacred animals. Bast, originally a desert cat, was later depicted as a domestic cat."

"text": "\"The Hyksos People of Ancient Egypt The word \"\"hyksos\"\" comes from heka khasewet, which means \"\"foreign rulers\"\", and was used by the Egyptians to describe the kings of nearby areas. Due to instability and famine in areas surrounding Egypt, the Hyksos invaded Egypt during the second intermediate period, around 1700 B. C. They formed the 15th Dynasty and ruled Lower Egypt for just over one hundred years. ' Hyksos' was the collective name given to the Asiatics who invaded Egypt. They took advantage of a time when Egypt was politically weak and their military could not stand up to the Hyksos’ more advanced weaponry. Although at first this invasion must have been seen as unfortunate to Egyptians, by the time their rule ended, the Hyksos had introduced many technologies that would greatly benefit Egypt into the future. Who were the Hyksos? Although it’s unclear exactly where the Hyksos originated, they were a Semitic people also known as Amorites and sometimes called “Shepherd Kings”. Their names reflected a western-Semitic origin, and they were more than likely associated with the Hebrews. Amorites refers to people who lived in Syria and southern Turkey. After attacking and defeating the parts of Syria that were already under Egyptian control, they proceeded to attack Egypt."

"text": "\"World View Symbolism Q: Why Did the Egyptians Wear Jewelry? A: Quick Answer According to History On The Net, the Egyptians often wore jewelry to show social status and wealth, but they mainly wore jewelry for religious purposes. They also wore jewelry as a fashion statement. Rich Egyptians were not the only people to wear jewels, as Egyptians of every social class, excluding slaves, had some form of jewelry.

Credit: mararie CC-BY-SA 2.0Full Answer According to St. Petersburg Times, many Egyptians believed wearing jewels was essential to ward off evil spirits. The scarab symbol, sacred because it was thought to represent rebirth, adorned many amulets worn by the living, and it was placed on the bodies of the dead. Jewels were placed in tombs for reincarnation purposes."

The name mau literally means \"\"cat\"\" in Egyptian. Learn more about this striking and dignified cat that resembles the cats worshipped by the ancient Egyptians. Breed Overview Size: 6 to 14 pounds Coat and Color: Medium-length coat with a fine texture. Spotted coat in silver, bronze, or smoke with random spots produced by color only on the tips of the hairs. Life Expectancy: 12 to 15 years Characteristics of the Egyptian Mau Affection Level High Friendliness Medium Kid-Friendly Medium Pet-Friendly Medium Playfulness High Energy Level High Intelligence Medium Tendency to Vocalize Low Amount of Shedding Medium History of the Egyptian Mau The African wild cat is thought to be the cat originally domesticated by the Egyptians over 4,000 years ago. Cats depicted in ancient Egyptian artwork resemble the spotted Egyptian mau and show that they were used for duck hunting as well as being worshipped by a cat cult. Feline genome data actually shows that the Egyptian mau is more closely related to Western-derived breeds than those of the eastern Mediterranean. However, the Egyptian mau have some distinct characteristics not seen in other breeds. Its ancient lineage notwithstanding, the Egyptian mau was first shown in Europe prior to World War I, but during the war, its numbers were decimated, with most of the known survivors found in Italy."

Beck Jerry Ordway Affiliations: Formerly the Black Marvel Family Secret Society of Super-Villains Injustice Society Justice Society of America Abilities: Egyptology Multilingualism Portrayed by: Dwayne Johnson Contents [ show]History Edit Ancient Egypt Edit Circa 1200 BC, Shazam became a high priest to the pharaoh Ramses II of Egypt. As the wizard grew older, he sought a champion worthy to inherit his powers. The young prince Teth-Adam of Kahndaq (Ramses' son) impressed the wizard with his fairness and decency. But before Shazam could bestow his powers, his daughter Blaze made a deal with the god Set. When Teth-Adam spoke the name \"\"Shazam,\"\" instead of gaining the wizard's powers, he was blessed with the power of six Egyptian gods: Shu, Heru, Amon, Zehuti, Aton and Mehen. Thus, though Adam speaks the name \"\"Shazam,\"\" he does not draw power from the wizard. Teth-Adam served Egypt for many years, but this duty drew him away from his wife and children in Kahndaq. While he was away, the mad priest, Ahk-ton ravaged Kahndaq and killed Adam's family. The priest was powered by the \"\"Orb of Ra\"\". Adam could not apprehend Ahk-ton, so he entombed his family and returned to the court of Ramses."

As there is a wide range of different drills available on the market, I would like to give you an overview on my favorite cordless drills and what you should look for when you compare them. Particularly if you compare cheap low price drills with professional units from De Walt, Makita, Bosch or other brand names, you will find enormous differences when you do precise reviews. Let's get into details and see what type of cordless drills a woodworker really should look for and give you a good idea on how to analyze what is the best cordless drill on the market . Update: We have done an extensive review series on cordless drills here on our site. Please find it here: Cordless Drill Review If you think of buying a new kind of drills make sure you check some key points: Volts (=cordless drills power) Ampere (=Lasting of Battery) Type of Battery (Ni-Cd or Ni-MH)2 - Position Mechanical Gear Electronic Brake (= Drill bit stops immediately)Variable Speed Switch Torque settings (= not key for woodworking! ) Keyless Chuck, Fast Charger (15 minutes)Backward/Forward Switch (= all normally standard)Hammer action Cordless Drills - Power and Battery First thing when you look at a good cordless drill will be Volts of the the battery pack. To simplify it - the more Volts your cordless drill has - the faster the motor spins - the more torque you will get. Unfortunately - the more volts your cordless drills have - the heavier they get (if you ever worked with a 18 Volt drill over a longer period of time - you will know what I am talking about). Similar important as the Volts of your battery are the Ampere."

"text": "Adjusting Automatic Chokes: A Semi-Universal Approach Automatic chokes on automotive carburetors are not new technology; they’ve been around for decades. Still, they’re a continuing source of frustration for many enthusiasts. Too often, automotive hobbyists end up removing the automatic choke; or defeating at least some of the functionality of the automatic choke because they don’t know how to make the engine run “right” and still have the automatic features of the choke enabled. If there was one “typical” issue, it would be that the engine starts OK, but almost immediately begins to run really bad—rough and blubbering—so much so that the engine may even stall. The most common mistake I see—about three-quarters of all automatic choke problems—relate to people who adjust the bimetallic choke coil, when they should be adjusting or replacing the vacuum-powered choke pulloff instead. I’m going to repeat that general theme several times—and, yes, it IS that important. But of course there are other problems as well; and I’ll deal with most of them in this article. None of what follows is intended to replace the manufacturer’s instructions. Since “official” procedures and specifications may be difficult to find, though, I’m offering a common-sense “universal” procedure. The first thing you need to know: It’s going to take longer to read this than to walk out to the driveway, lift the hood, and adjust the damn thing —at least to perform the baseline adjustments."

Power and shift commands are sent via a 2-wire CAN (Controller Area Network) datalink contained within a single cable housing. This design has several advantages over conventional mechanical shifting systems, the most notable of which are: Extremely low shifting effort, which generally results in more frequent shifts and therefore better gear ratio selection. Greatly improved shift quality, especially for the front derailleur chainrings, allowing shifting under full power with almost no chance of a dropped chain. Shifting is available at multiple positions on the handlebars, for example, at the end of the time trial aero bars, on the brake levers, up to in climbing position, and down low the sprint position."

"text": "Hauling a trailer may be part of your job, part of your hobby, or just an occasional jaunt to pick up some materials. Regardless of why you haul, safe trailering is paramount. One of the single most overlooked aspects of trailering is the brakes. Where most people are more concerned about how fast the tow vehicle will be able to pull the loaded trailer, the real concern is getting that load slowed down. Using the tow vehicle’s brakes alone works in many situations, but there is a better way—trailer brakes. Trailer Brake Types There are two main types of trailer brakes, hydraulic and electric. Hydraulic brakes are just like the ones on your car, a hydraulic master cylinder pushes fluid to the pistons on the wheel hubs on each axle, operating the brake pads, slowing down the trailer. These are commonly found on boat trailers and some others. They are operated by inertial force. When the tow vehicle slows down, the trailer pushes forward on the ball hitch."

He served in the Union Army and Navy during the American Civil War, then attended Union College but only for about three months. He dropped out in 1865, after filing a patent for his first invention, a rotary steam engine that was only modestly successful. He then spent several years working in his father's machine shop, making slight improvements in various areas of railroad technology, and inventing a machine that put derailed rail cars back on their tracks. He found great success with the air brake, invented in 1868, using compressed air as the operating medium and slowing the wheels all along a train's length. This was a revolutionary improvement over the earlier system of train braking, which required a brakeman's manual pressure and physical presence in each car. The air brake allowed longer trains to be run at faster speeds, and greatly improved safety with a fail-safe mechanism that brought the train to a tidy stop if the brake-lines were depressurized or broken. He founded Westinghouse Air Brake Company (now Wabtec) in 1869, and within a few years he was a millionaire. Now a full-time inventor and businessman, Westinghouse made numerous improvements to railroad track, switch, and circuitry and signalling systems, and founded the Union Switch and Signal Company in 1881 (which was absorbed into Wabtec in 1917). He drilled four natural gas wells on the sprawling grounds of his Pittsburgh estate, as much to familiarize himself with the technology as to extract gas."

There are many different standards and types of horsepower. Two common definitions being used today are the mechanical horsepower (or imperial horsepower ), which is 745.7 watts, and the metric horsepower, which is approximately 735.5 watts. The term was adopted in the late 18th century by Scottish engineer James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with the power of draft horses. It was later expanded to include the output power of other types of piston engines, as well as turbines, electric motors and other machinery.

Primary flight controls provide longitudinal (pitch), directional (yaw), and lateral (roll) control of the aircraft. Secondary flight controls provide additional lift during takeoff and landing, and decrease aircraft speed during flight, as well as assisting primary flight controls in the movement of the aircraft about its axis. Some manufacturers call secondary flight controls auxiliary flight controls. All systems consist of the flight control surfaces, the respective cockpit controls, connecting linkage, and necessary operating mechanisms. The systems discussed in this course are representative systems. Values such as tolerances, pressures, and temperatures provide better understanding of the text material.

We’ve compiled the 21 most common questions we get about towing with a dolly versus 4 down and shared our answers here. But first, if you haven’t already made a firm decision on which vehicle you plan to tow, you might like to start by reading our “ Finding the Ideal TOAD ” post. Here, we not only share our own personal journey and thought process of narrowing down our choice of TOAD (also known as a towed vehicle or dinghy) but more importantly, we share a list of helpful questions that will help you determine whether one of your existing vehicles is suitable to take along for the ride. It’s a good place to start. And, if it’s time to consider switching out your car or truck to something else (as we did) the article will help you get clear on what vehicle will best satisfy your personal needs while maximizing your travel experience. But now, onto 21 Frequently Asked Questions about Towing With a Dolly. We hope you find the info useful in your search.1. Did you consider all towing options: four down, tow dolly and trailer? Yes, I (Marc) fully investigated all of the options available to us, weighing up the pros and cons of each."

Generally speaking, vehicles have two separate braking systems, whereby, in the event of a component failure, only part of the vehicle's brake system will fail to operate (partial failure). This allows the driver to stop, but requires a greater distance to do so in a panic situation. More commonly, braking deficiencies are what affects braking performance."

Having the ability to do your own work will also prevent you from being taken advantage by brake shops, not only in heavy labor fees but false statements about defective or worn out parts, which are actually in good condition. These instructions are designed for disc brakes only. I could write a book on doing drum brakes and it still wouldn't go into everything you would encounter, so the best advice if your vehicle is equipped with drum brakes is to work with someone who has done them before and can show you how to do them. Luckily, drum brakes last a very long time and assuming you don't keep your truck until 200,000 miles or more, you should never need to replace them. A few notes on doing your own brake jobs: Typically your rotors will not need to be replaced nearly as often as your pads. If turned properly and consistently, you should go through at least two sets of pads before you need to replace the rotors. It is a good idea to get your rotors turned every time you replace your pads, this will keep them from warping and help them last longer and ride better. If you don't replace your pads in time and the metal of the pads starts wearing against the metal of the rotors, you will need to replace the rotors. If one set of pads on one side of the vehicle is wearing much quicker then the other side, it could mean that a caliper is going out and will need to be replaced."

Mounting a trailer hitch onto the chassis of your vehicle and towing your gear safely and securely: right way. CURT Trailer Hitches Installing Your Trailer Hitch Like most aftermarket upgrades, hitch mounts can be installed pretty much anywhere your vehicle is parked with just a few basic hand tools. Here’s a basic rundown on how best to approach installation. After making sure your parking brake is set and your wheels are blocked, jack your truck or SUV up to give yourself plenty of clearance to install the hitch. Assemble the entire hitch per the manufacturer’s instructions but don’t tighten any of the bolts. Some vehicles have pre-drilled holes to accept hitch mounts. If not, drill holes into your vehicle’s frame by using the loosely assembled hitch as a template. Note: make sure you don’t drill the holes any wider than 1/16-inch thicker than the bolts or the bolts won’t hold."

Wouldn’t it be nice to know what’s behind you such as other vehicles, pedestrians, trees, etc? This camera system comes in handy for day-to-day towing / driving, backing up into your campsite, or even just seeing where other vehicles are on the road with you. They give you better visibility than a conventional rear view mirror even when you’re not towing. With the optional camera add-on to your tow vehicle as well, you can now hook up to your travel trailer or 5 th wheel without guidance from another person to direct you. I personally know this has saved my marriage on numerous occasions. When picking your equipment to purchase, look at what best fits your budget and features you would like to enjoy. Some features include night vision, monitor zooming, widescreen, color camera / display, and foot marker lines. Some of the high-end radios / DVD / GPS combo head units come with camera outputs. If you use this feature, there is no need to purchase a monitor because the camera will interface directly with this setup."

Answer by Knapp1 Confidence votes 27.6KAn electric current can be produced in several ways. The most fundamental is to move a conductor, like a coil of wire, in a magnetic field. This is the basis of generation in rotating machines. You can produce a current in a conductor by connecting opposite ends to the + and - poles of a battery, but don't try this with your car battery or you will burn out the conductor and produce a lot of heat. It is safer to use a small dry battery. You should work out the current which will be obtained using Ohms Law, and use an appropriate resistance to limit the current. This of course is using chemical energy that has been stored in the battery.5 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

For example, a magnet moved toward a coil induces an emf, and a coil moved toward a magnet produces a similar emf. In this section, we concentrate on motion in a magnetic field that is stationary relative to the Earth, producing what is loosely called motional emf. One situation where motional emf occurs is known as the Hall effect and has already been examined. Charges moving in a magnetic field experience the magnetic force F = qv B sin θ, which moves opposite charges in opposite directions and produces an emf = Bℓv. We saw that the Hall effect has applications, including measurements of Band v. We will now see that the Hall effect is one aspect of the broader phenomenon of induction, and we will find that motional emf can be used as a power source. Consider the situation shown in [link]. A rod is moved at a speed valong a pair of conducting rails separated by a distance ℓin a uniform magnetic field B. The rails are stationary relative to Band are connected to a stationary resistor R.

Michael Faraday was born on 22 September 1791 in south London. His family was not well off and Faraday received only a basic formal education. When he was 14, he was apprenticed to a local bookbinder and during the next seven years, educated himself by reading books on a wide range of scientific subjects. In 1812, Faraday attended four lectures given by the chemist Humphry Davy at the Royal Institution. Faraday subsequently wrote to Davy asking for a job as his assistant. Davy turned him down but in 1813 appointed him to the job of chemical assistant at the Royal Institution. A year later, Faraday was invited to accompany Davy and his wife on an 18 month European tour, taking in France, Switzerland, Italy and Belgium and meeting many influential scientists. On their return in 1815, Faraday continued to work at the Royal Institution, helping with experiments for Davy and other scientists. In 1821 he published his work on electromagnetic rotation (the principle behind the electric motor)."

This kinetic energy is used to spin the turbines which which generate electrical energy. Moving water can be used to spin turbines, which can generate electricity in the same way a battery hooked up to a motor will spin the motor, but in reverse. The spinning of the motor will generate an electromagnetic field which will generate a current in the copper wires within the motor, this current is then fed out of the motor and into a generator which usually contains a transistor which will convert the DC power of the motor into AC power, which can then be adjusted as needed and fed into the power grid for the city or local area.

More videos Key Questions What is the difference between an electric motor and an electric generator? In terms of energy transfer - Electric motor: Electrical → Mechanical - Electric Generator: Mechanical → Electrical A motor and generator perform opposite functions, but their fundamental structure is the same. Their structure is a coil mounted on an axel within a magnetic field. An electric motor is used to produce rotational motion from an electrical supply. In a motor an electric current is passed through the coil. The coil then creates a magnetic field that interacts with the already existing magnetic field. This interaction forces the coil to rotate. ( If you want to know more about magnetic forces on current carrying conductors there is a lesson here . ) ⇒ For a motor the input energy is electrical energy and the useful output energy is mechanical energy."

Begin to discuss how magnetism can be used to create electrical current. In this demonstration you will use an instrument called a galvanometer. It is an instrument with a bar of iron wrapped with an electrical wire, and a magnet. It detects electrical current. If a wire is connected to this instrument, it can detect if electricity is flowing through the wire. If there is no current through the wire, the needle will move to the left. Similarly, if there is a current flowing through the wire, the needle will move towards the right of the scale. This demonstration should help to give you an idea of the relationship between magnetism and electricity. Your browser does not support this feature."

The two forces are so closely connected that scientists talk about the single force of electromagnetism. Without it, we would not have an electricity supply, or ELECTRIC MOTORS. HOW DOES ELECTRICITY CREATE MAGNETISM? Each electron is surrounded by a force called an electric field. When an electron moves, it creates a second field—a magnetic field. When electrons are made to flow in a current through a conductor, such as a piece of metal or a coil of wire, the conductor becomes a temporary magnet—an electromagnet."

And when it dies, we take it back as a core, and get a new one. The thing is, the alternator is really the heart of the vehicle's electrical system and so knowing a bit more about it and how it works, whether or not you ever plan to rebuild one, will really improve your understanding of the vehicle's entire electrical system - and your ability to design, build, upgrade and maintain it. The other reason it's good to know a bit about alternators is because throughout the life of a vehicle, we tend to add more and more electrical accessories - lights, stereos, radios, compressors, winches, etc. As we do, we increase the demand on the vehicle's electrical system and particularly the alternator. Upgraded alternators with higher output are often needed; and knowing a bit about how they work will help us in making educated decisions when shopping for a replacement or upgraded alternator. * Note: This article assumes that the reader has read and understood \"\"The 12V DC Series Part 1 - 12V DC Basics\"\".

Reveal answer Question 2When the switch closes, the ammeter will initially register a large amount of current, then the current will decay to a much lesser value over time as the motor speeds up: In view of Ohm’s Law, where current is supposed to be a direct function of voltage and resistance (I = E / R ), explain why this happens. After all, the motor’s winding resistance does not change as it spins, and the battery voltage is fairly constant. Why, then, does the current vary so greatly between initial start-up and full operating speed? What do you think the ammeter will register after the motor has achieved full (no-load) speed, if a mechanical load is placed on the motor shaft, forcing it to slow down?

The resistance of the armature windings, measured with an ohmmeter when the motor is at rest, unpowered, is 2.45 ohms. How much counter-EMF is the motor generating at 4500 RPM?

"text": "Uncategorized Solar Electric FAQs How much does a solar electric system cost? Since many factors affect pricing, it’s difficult to provide an exact price for a solar electric system without performing a site evaluation. Factors that affect pricing include: how much electricity you currently use, how much you want to reduce your electricity bill (for instance, 50, 80 or 100 percent? ), the solar panel brand you choose, the orientation of your roof, your roof’s material and age, the size and type of your service entrance and much more. Generally speaking, a solar electric system can range in cost from about $12,000 to $60,000 and beyond. The average solar system installation costs around $25,000 to $35,000. All of these prices are before solar rebates and tax incentives, so the actual out-of-pocket cost can be much lower. The best way to find out how much solar energy will cost for your home or business is to contact AMECO Solar and request a solar estimate. Then, we can look at your specific energy needs along with your roof’s situation to provide you with a more exact cost of a solar panel installation. Why do solar installation prices vary so much?"

The magnitude or strength of an electric field in the space surrounding a source charge is related directly to the quantity of charge on the source charge and inversely to the distance from the source charge. The direction of the electric field is always directed in the direction that a positive test charge would be pushed or pulled if placed in the space surrounding the source charge. Since electric field is a vector quantity, it can be represented by a vector arrow. For any given location, the arrows point in the direction of the electric field and their length is proportional to the strength of the electric field at that location. Such vector arrows are shown in the diagram below. Note that the lengths of the arrows are longer when closer to the source charge and shorter when further from the source charge. A more useful means of visually representing the vector nature of an electric field is through the use of electric field lines of force. Rather than draw countless vector arrows in the space surrounding a source charge, it is perhaps more useful to draw a pattern of several lines that extend between infinity and the source charge. These pattern of lines, sometimes referred to as electric field lines, point in the direction that a positive test charge would accelerate if placed upon the line."

"text": "Dielectrics, polarization, and electric dipole moment The amount of charge stored in a capacitor is the product of the voltage and the capacity. What limits the amount of charge that can be stored on a capacitor? The voltage can be increased, but electric breakdown will occur if the electric field inside the capacitor becomes too large. The capacity can be increased by expanding the electrode areas and by reducing the gap between the electrodes. In general, capacitors that can withstand high voltages have a relatively small capacity. If only low voltages are needed, however, compact capacitors with rather large capacities can be manufactured. One method for increasing capacity is to insert between the conductors an insulating material that reduces the voltage because of its effect on the electric field. Such materials are called dielectrics (substances with no free charges). When the molecules of a dielectric are placed in the electric field, their negatively charged electrons separate slightly from their positively charged cores. With this separation, referred to as polarization, the molecules acquire an electric dipole moment."

Physics, Berkeley Answered Aug 1, 2015 · Author has 130 answers and 168.4k answer views Wave-particle duality is what makes the connection clear, not what obscures it. There are some subtleties related to the fact that the photon is massless, but conceptually it works basically the same way as for electrons in a hydrogen atom. Namely, there is a wave function that describes where you might find the photon, and with what probability. But if you stick in a sensitive photodetector, you always get discrete blips from single particles (photons). And if you make enough measurements in enough places, you can map out what the wave function looks like. So it's the wave function (i.e., electric field amplitude) that wiggles and can be described by a wavelength/frequency, or a range of wavelengths if the photon doesn't have a well-defined energy. Oversimplifying a bit, you see the photon, but you infer the wave function from the photons' behavior.874 Views · View Upvoters · Answer requested by Max Barnett Related Questions More Answers Below If the wavelength of a photon is equal to two times the amplitude, what would the wavelength, amplitude, and frequency of that photon be?

"text": "\"Question What is the difference between resistance and impedance? Asked by: Venudhar Answer Resistance is a concept used for DC (direct currents) whereas impedance is the AC (alternating current) equivalent. Resistance is due to electrons in a conductor colliding with the ionic lattice of the conductor meaning that electrical energy is converted into heat. Different materials have different resistivities (a property defining how resistive a material of given dimensions will be). However, when considering AC you must remember that it oscillates as a sine wave so the sign is always changing. This means that other effects need to be considered - namely inductance and capacitance. Inductance is most obvious in coiled wire. When a current flows through a wire a circular magnetic field is created around it. If you coil the wire into a solenoid the fields around the wire sum up and you get a magnetic field similar to that of a bar magnet on the outside but you get a uniform magnetic field on the inside. With AC since the sign is always changing the direction of the field in the wires is always changing - so the magnetic field of the solenoid is also changing all the time."

A polarizing filter cuts down the reflections (top) and made it possible to see the photographer through the glass at roughly Brewster's angle although reflections off the back window of the car are not cut because they are less-strongly polarized, according to the Fresnel equations. A polarizer or polariser is an optical filter that lets light waves of a specific polarization pass through while blocking light waves of other polarizations. [ 1] [2] [3] [4] It can convert a beam of light of undefined or mixed polarization into a beam of well-defined polarization, that is polarized light. The common types of polarizers are linear polarizers and circular polarizers. Polarizers are used in many optical techniques and instruments, and polarizing filters find applications in photography and LCD technology. Polarizers can also be made for other types of electromagnetic waves besides light, such as radio waves, microwaves, and X-rays.

Polarizers which maintain the same axes of polarization with varying angles of incidence are often called Cartesian polarizers, since the polarization vectors can be described with simple Cartesian coordinates (for example, horizontal vs. vertical) independent from the orientation of the polarizer surface. When the two polarization states are relative to the direction of a surface (usually found with Fresnel reflection), they are usually termed s and p. This distinction between Cartesian and s – p polarization can be negligible in many cases, but it becomes significant for achieving high contrast and with wide angular spreads of the incident light."

Changing (time varying) and fields generate a and respectively. And lastly, if the electric or magnetic field is static (constant in time), it exists by itself. In this chapter, we focus on the static and stationary cases, and study in some detail the individual properties of the and fields. The electric field by itself is of enormous importance. Our contemporary civilization cannot even be imagined without the presence of electric power. Not only does electric power provide energy to run an almost endless list of modern devices, electricity powers modern industries and cities as well."

"text": "Transformer Basics Transformers are electrical devices consisting of two or more coils of wire used to transfer electrical energy by means of a changing magnetic field One of the main reasons that we use alternating AC voltages and currents in our homes and workplace’s is that AC supplies can be easily generated at a convenient voltage, transformed (hence the name transformer) into much higher voltages and then distributed around the country using a national grid of pylons and cables over very long distances. The reason for transforming the voltage to a much higher level is that higher distribution voltages implies lower currents for the same power and therefore lower I 2 R losses along the networked grid of cables. These higher AC transmission voltages and currents can then be reduced to a much lower, safer and usable voltage level where it can be used to supply electrical equipment in our homes and workplaces, and all this is possible thanks to the basic Voltage Transformer. A Typical Voltage Transformer The Voltage Transformer can be thought of as an electrical component rather than an electronic component. A transformer basically is very simple static (or stationary) electro-magnetic passive electrical device that works on the principle of Faraday’s law of induction by converting electrical energy from one value to another. The transformer does this by linking together two or more electrical circuits using a common oscillating magnetic circuit which is produced by the transformer itself. A transformer operates on the principals of “electromagnetic induction”, in the form of Mutual Induction. Mutual induction is the process by which a coil of wire magnetically induces a voltage into another coil located in close proximity to it. Then we can say that transformers work in the “magnetic domain”, and transformers get their name from the fact that they “transform” one voltage or current level into another. Transformers are capable of either increasing or decreasing the voltage and current levels of their supply, without modifying its frequency, or the amount of electrical power being transferred from one winding to another via the magnetic circuit."

( Albert Einstein)Physical objects are not in space, but these objects are spatially extended (as fields). In this way the concept 'empty space' loses its meaning. ... The field thus becomes an irreducible element of physical description, irreducible in the same sense as the concept of matter (particles) in the theory of Newton. ... The physical reality of space is represented by a field whose components are continuous functions of four independent variables - the co-ordinates of space and time. Since the theory of general relativity implies the representation of physical reality by a continuous field, the concept of particles or material points cannot play a fundamental part, nor can the concept of motion. The particle can only appear as a limited region in space in which the field strength or the energy density are particularly high. ( Albert Einstein, Metaphysics of Relativity, 1950)Physics constitutes a logical system of thought which is in a state of evolution, whose basis (principles) cannot be distilled, as it were, from experience by an inductive method, but can only be arrived at by free invention. The justification (truth content) of the system rests in the verification of the derived propositions ( a priori /logical truths) by sense experiences ( a posteriori /empirical truths). ...

Eight different forms of energy exist to explain all known natural phenomena. These forms include (but are not limited to) kinetic, potential, thermal, gravitational, sound, light, elastic, and electromagnetic energy. The forms of energy are often named after a related force.

"text": "Inductance DC Electric Circuits Question 1∫f (x) dx Calculus alert!One of the fundamental principles of calculus is a process called integration. This principle is important to understand because it is manifested in the behavior of inductance. Thankfully, there are more familiar physical systems which also manifest the process of integration, making it easier to comprehend. If we introduce a constant flow of water into a cylindrical tank with water, the water level inside that tank will rise at a constant rate over time: In calculus terms, we would say that the tank integrates water flow into water height. That is, one quantity (flow) dictates the rate-of-change over time of another quantity (height). Like the water tank, electrical inductance also exhibits the phenomenon of integration with respect to time. Which electrical quantity (voltage or current) dictates the rate-of-change over time of which other quantity (voltage or current) in an inductance? Or, to re-phrase the question, which quantity (voltage or current), when maintained at a constant value, results in which other quantity (current or voltage) steadily ramping either up or down over time? Reveal answer Question 2Suppose a mass is connected to a winch by means of a cable, and a person turns the winch drum to raise the mass off the ground: A physicist would likely look at this scenario as an example of energy exchange: the person turning the drum is expending energy, which in turn is being stored in the mass in potential form. Suppose now that the person stops turning the drum and instead engages a brake mechanism on the drum so that it reverses rotation and slowly allows the mass to return to ground level."

The word was first used scientifically in optics to describe the rainbow of colors in visible light after passing through a prism. As scientific understanding of light advanced, it came to apply to the entire electromagnetic spectrum. Spectrum has since been applied by analogy to topics outside optics.

We will now look in detail at solar energy and its interplay with the constituents of the Earth's atmosphere. Characteristics of the Sun Image courtesy of NASA. The sun is a medium, yellow star, consisting primarily of hydrogen at temperatures high enough to cause nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion is a nuclear reaction in which hydrogen nuclei fuse together to form helium nuclei and release energy. In this state, some 120 million tons of matter--mostly hydrogen--are converted into helium on the sun every minute, with some of the mass being converted into energy. The size of the sun determines its temperature and the amount of energy radiated. Electromagnetic energy from the sun comes to Earth in the form of radiation.

"text": "\"SUMMARYA spectroscope is a device for splitting a beam of radiation into its component frequencies and delivering them to a screen or detector for detailed study. Many hot objects emit a continuous spectrum of radiation, containing light of all wavelengths. A hot gas may instead produce an emission spectrum, consisting only of a few well-defined emission lines of specific frequencies, or colors. Passing a continuous beam of radiation through cool gas will produce absorption lines at precisely the same frequencies as are present in the gas’s emission spectrum. Kirchhoff’s laws describe the relationships among these different types of spectra. The emission and absorption lines produced by each element are unique—they provide a \"\"fingerprint\"\" of that element. The study of the spectral lines produced by different substances is called spectroscopy. Spectroscopic studies of the Fraunhofer lines in the solar spectrum yield detailed information on the Sun’s composition. Atoms are made up of negatively charged electrons orbiting a positively charged heavy nucleus consisting of positively charged protons and electrically neutral neutrons. In normal circumstances the number of orbiting electrons equals the number of protons in the nucleus, and the atom as a whole is electrically neutral."

Electromagnetic radiation in this range of wavelengths is called visible light or simply light. A typical human eye will respond to wavelengths from about 390 to 700 nm. [ 1] In terms of frequency, this corresponds to a band in the vicinity of 430–790 THz. A light-adapted eye generally has its maximum sensitivity at around 555 nm (540 THz), in the green region of the optical spectrum (see: luminosity function ). The spectrum does not, however, contain all the colors that the human eyes and brain can distinguish. Unsaturated colors such as pink, or purple variations such as magenta, are absent, for example, because they can be made only by a mix of multiple wavelengths. Colors containing only one wavelength are also called pure colors. Visible light waves are the only electromagnetic waves we can see. We see these waves as the colors of the rainbow."

For the purpose of providing a very cursory understanding of the technology this tutorial will use very informal terminology to describe what is happening. General physics of radio signals RF communication works by creating electromagnetic waves at a source and being able to pick up those electromagnetic waves at a particular destination. These electromagnetic waves travel through the air at near the speed of light. The wavelength of an electromagnetic signal is inversely proportional to the frequency; the higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength. Frequency is measured in Hertz (cycles per second) and radio frequencies are measured in kilohertz (KHz or thousands of cycles per second), megahertz (MHz or millions of cycles per second) and gigahertz (GHz or billions of cycles per second). Higher frequencies result in shorter wavelengths. The wavelength for a 900 MHz device is longer than that of a 2.4 GHz device. In general, signals with longer wavelengths travel a greater distance and penetrate through, and around objects better than signals with shorter wavelengths. How does an RF communication system work?"

The ECD uses a radioactive beta particle (electron) emitter in conjunction with a so-called makeup gas flowing through the detector chamber. The electron emitter typically consists of a metal foil holding 10 millicuries (370 M Bq) of the radionuclide63Ni. Usually, nitrogen is used as makeup gas, because it exhibits a low excitation energy, so it is easy to remove an electron from a nitrogen molecule. The electrons emitted from the electron emitter collide with the molecules of the makeup gas, resulting in many more free electrons. The electrons are accelerated towards a positively charged anode, generating a current. There is therefore always a background signal present in the chromatogram."

Since I received tons of questions regarding the various devices police use such as radar, laser, and vascar I have created this overview which will address some of the more frequently questions I’m asked. Also a recommend resource if you plan on fighting your ticket in court, we have a more in depth article here titled “ How to Beat Your Speeding Ticket in Court and Win “. However before we begin, I want to stress a few important issues: First off, as I mentioned, I am a retired police officer and regarded as an expert in both traffic enforcement and the speed counter measurement industry. However I am not an attorney so please don’t contact me regarding legal advice!It is my goal that our information will help you become more prepared and help you make a sound buying decision if you’re in the market for a radar detector and/or jammer. Police Radar Police radar transmits a radio wave in the microwave band that upon striking an object is reflected back to the radar gun and a “Doppler Shift” occurs in the frequency that is received back by the radar gun. The radar gun thus measures this change in frequency and then calculates the speed either in miles per hour or in kilometers per hour. The Doppler Shift is a scientific principle that is used in both radar and laser enforcement in that the transmitted output of RF or radio frequency, a light wave or even an audio signal will increase or decrease in frequency based upon the movement of the target."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Ionizing radiation hazard symbol Ionizing radiation ( ionising radiation) is radiation that carries enough energy to liberate electrons from atoms or molecules, thereby ionizing them. Ionizing radiation is made up of energetic subatomic particles, ions or atoms moving at high speeds (usually greater than 1% of the speed of light), and electromagnetic waves on the high-energy end of the electromagnetic spectrum. Gamma rays, X-rays, and the higher ultraviolet part of the electromagnetic spectrum are ionizing, whereas the lower ultraviolet part of the electromagnetic spectrum and all the spectrum below UV, including visible light (including nearly all types of laser light), infrared, microwaves, and radio waves are considered non-ionizing radiation. The boundary between ionizing and non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation that occurs in the ultraviolet is not sharply defined, since different molecules and atoms ionize at different energies. Conventional definition places the boundary at a photon energy between 10 e V and 33 e V in the ultraviolet (see definition boundary section below). Typical ionizing subatomic particles from radioactivity include alpha particles, beta particles and neutrons. Almost all products of radioactive decay are ionizing because the energy of radioactive decay is typically far higher than that required to ionize. Other subatomic ionizing particles which occur naturally are muons, mesons, positrons, and other particles that constitute the secondary cosmic rays that are produced after primary cosmic rays interact with Earth's atmosphere. [ 1] [2] Cosmic rays are generated by stars and certain celestial events such as supernova explosions. Cosmic rays may also produce radioisotopes on Earth (for example, carbon-14 ), which in turn decay and produce ionizing radiation."

After speaking with a scientist at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), I have been told that the only consistent and honest way to measure THC, CBD, and CBN is to use a test using Liquid Gas Chromatography. Here is some info on that process. I have sourced this from Wikipedia. Gas-liquid chromatography (GLC), or simply gas chromatography (GC), is a type of chromatography in which the mobile phase is a carrier gas, usually an inert gas such as helium or an unreactive gas such as nitrogen, and the stationary phase is a microscopic layer of liquid or polymer on an inert solid support, inside glass or metal tubing, called a column. The instrument used to perform gas chromatographic separations is called a gas chromatograph (also: aerograph, gas separator). Gas Chromatography is different from other forms of chromatography (HPLC, TLC, etc.) because the solutions travel through the column in a gas state. The interactions of these gaseous analytes with the walls of the column (coated by different stationary phases) causes different compounds to elute at different times called retention time. The comparsion of these retention times is the analytical power to GC."

Although the delay time is not great and the distance between X-ray equipment and CR reader may be short, this may be inconvenient and may limit patient throughput. DR systems use imaging devices that remain in situ and produce an image with a delay that is generally no more than about 10 s. The distinction between computed and digital radiography is somewhat artificial, because both are digital technologies employing computers for their implementation. There are CR systems (i.e. systems that use photostimulable phosphors) that incorporate the plate reader into the X-ray equipment so that for the operator there is little difference between the two. DR itself is divided into two main classes: indirect DR and direct DR (often referred to as DDR). The most common DR detectors are based on amorphous silicon thin-film transistor (TFT) arrays, the dimensions of the array being the size of the area to be imaged. A transistor is a device that amplifies an electrical signal, and in the TFT array the amplified signal is stored as an electrical charge. The charge can be released by applying a high potential. In the TFT array, which is essentially a large integrated circuit, each row of detectors is connected to the activating potential and each column to a charge-measuring device. The potential is applied row by row, so that the timing of the detected signal determines the position of the pixel from which it originated."

Detection hardware refers to the kind of neutron detector used (the most common today is the scintillation detector) and to the electronics used in the detection setup. Further, the hardware setup also defines key experimental parameters, such as source-detector distance, solid angle and detector shielding. Detection software consists of analysis tools that perform tasks such as graphical analysis to measure the number and energies of neutrons striking the detector.

A beam of UV light passes through the optical cell, a part of it is absorbed by the mercury atoms present in the sample. This method is called atomic absorption spectroscopy; or shortly AAS. It is extremely selective and sensitive. For mercury determination the AAS method has maintained its importance even if other methods have been worked out since the early beginnings. The AAS method is low in interference and does not require an amalgamation step or expensive carrier gases. Mercury Monitoring in Natural Gas and LNGMercury is a frequent constituent of natural gas. It can be found in concentrations from a few µg/m³ up to 10000 µg/m³. An important application for the UT-3000 is the measurement of mercury in natural gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG).

The primary use is to measure the power of the spectrum of known and unknown signals. The input signal that a spectrum analyzer measures is electrical; however, spectral compositions of other signals, such as acoustic pressure waves and optical light waves, can be considered through the use of an appropriate transducer. Optical spectrum analyzers also exist, which use direct optical techniques such as a monochromator to make measurements. By analyzing the spectra of electrical signals, dominant frequency, power, distortion, harmonics, bandwidth, and other spectral components of a signal can be observed that are not easily detectable in time domain waveforms. These parameters are useful in the characterization of electronic devices, such as wireless transmitters. The display of a spectrum analyzer has frequency on the horizontal axis and the amplitude displayed on the vertical axis. To the casual observer, a spectrum analyzer looks like an oscilloscope and, in fact, some lab instruments can function either as an oscilloscope or a spectrum analyzer.

So the Nobel Committee has awarded this year’s physics prize to two of the theorists who initiated this particle hunt. François Englert of the Free University of Brussels (ULB) and Peter Higgs of the University of Edinburgh, UK, independently derived a model explaining why particles are not massless, and this model requires the existence of the Higgs boson. Both papers were published in 1964 in Physical Review Letters. The Higgs boson is the final piece of the standard model of particle physics to be observed, following decades of searching. In June 2012, CERN announced with much fanfare that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva had discovered a particle with the right properties to be the Higgs boson, which signified that researchers had confirmed a fundamental theory of mass. The Higgs boson does not technically give other particles mass."

Typical uses of GC include testing the purity of a particular substance, or separating the different components of a mixture (the relative amounts of such components can also be determined). In some situations, GC may help in identifying a compound. In preparative chromatography, GC can be used to prepare pure compounds from a mixture. [ 1] [2]In gas chromatography, the mobile phase (or \"\"moving phase\"\") is a carrier gas, usually an inert gas such as helium or an unreactive gas such as nitrogen. Helium remains the most commonly used carrier gas in about 90% of instruments although hydrogen is preferred for improved separations. [ 3] The stationary phase is a microscopic layer of liquid or polymer on an inert solid support, inside a piece of glass or metal tubing called a column (an homage to the fractionating column used in distillation). The instrument used to perform gas chromatography is called a gas chromatograph (or \"\"aerograph\"\", \"\"gas separator\"\"). The gaseous compounds being analyzed interact with the walls of the column, which is coated with a stationary phase. This causes each compound to elute at a different time, known as the retention time of the compound."

"text": "Electron capture detector (ECD)Electron capture detectors (ECD) are typically used in environmental testing for detecting PCB’s, organochlorine pesticides, herbicides and various halogenated hydrocarbons. With an electron capture detector, a beta emitter such as radioactive tritium or 63Ni is used to ionize the carrier gas. Fast beta particles generated by the radioactive source collide with the molecules of the carrier or make-up gas. By impact ionization, free slow-moving electrons are produced, which generate a measurable and steady current. If the GC effluent contains organic molecules with electronegative functional groups, such as halogens, phosphorous and nitro groups, electrons will be captured and the current will be reduced. In comparison to a signal without sample compounds, the reduction in electron flow is proportional to the quantity of electrophile sample components. Electron Capture Detectors are up to 1000 times more sensitive than Flame Ionization Detectors and were the first detectors able to measure components at parts-per-billion (ppb) and parts-per-trillion (ppt) levels. It is this sensitivity that makes ECD the first choice for environmental measurements. For more information, download our informational data sheet"

In any chromatography technique, there is a stationary phase that is usually solid or liquid and a mobile phase usually liquid or gas, that moves through it.

The major types of chromatography column include Gas Chromatography (GC), High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), and Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC). These are described below. Gc - Gas Chromatography Gas chromatography (GC) is used to separate components of a mobile gas mixture by flowing the gas past a stationary liquid or solid phase. ( Copyright Shimadzu Corporation, Kyoto, Japan)General Information Chromatographic separations are based on differences in the strength of the interactions between the individual components of the gas mixture and the stationary phase. The components having a stronger interaction with the stationary phase will remain immobile in the column longer, resulting in a separation.

"text": "\"The History of EMBy the middle of the 19th century, microscopists had accepted that it was simply not possible to resolve structures of less than half a micrometre with a light microscope because of the Abbe’s formula, but the development of the cathode ray tube was literally about to change the way they looked at things; by using electrons instead of light! Hertz (1857-94) suggested that cathode rays were a form of wave motion and Weichert, in 1899, found that these rays could be concentrated into a small spot by the use of an axial magnetic field produced by a long solenoid. But it was not until 1926 that Busch showed theoretically that a short solenoid converges a beam of electrons in the same way that glass can converge the light of the sun, that a direct comparison was made between light and electron beams. Busch should probably therefore be known as the father of electron optics. In 1931 the German engineers Ernst Ruska and Maximillion Knoll succeeded in magnifying and electron image. This was, in retrospect, the moment of the invention of the electron microscope but the first prototype was actually built by Ruska in 1933 and was capable of resolving to 50 nm. Although it was primitive and not really fit for practical use, Ruska was recognised some 50 years later by the award of a Nobel Prize. The first commercially available electron microscope was built in England by Metropolitan Vickers for Imperial College, London, and was called the EM1, though it never surpassed the resolution of a good optical microscope. The early electron microscopes did not excite the optical microscopists because the electron beam, which had a very high current density, was concentrated into a very small area and was very hot and therefore charred any non-metallic specimens that were examined. When it was found that you could successfully examine biological specimens in the electron microscope after treating them with osmium and cutting very thin slices of the sample, the electron microscope began to appear as a viable proposition."

Why is Redi's experiment on spontaneous generation considered a controlled experiment? Redi's experiment on spontaneous generation is considered a controlled experiment because throughout the experiment only one variable was changed at a time all other variables were kept unchanged or, controlled. How does a scientific theory compare with a scientific hypothesis? The difference between a scientific theory and a scientific hypothesis is that a theory is a hypothesis that is so well trusted that it can be used by scientists to solve new problems, while a hypothesis is a statement that is being solved.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A TEM image of a cluster of poliovirus. The polio virus is 30 nm in diameter. [ 1]Operating principle of a Transmission Electron Microscope Transmission electron microscopy ( TEM, also sometimes conventional transmission electron microscopy or CTEM) is a microscopy technique in which a beam of electrons is transmitted through a specimen to form an image. The specimen is most often an ultrathin section less than 100 nm thick or a suspension on a grid. An image is formed from the interaction of the electrons with the sample as the beam is transmitted through the specimen. The image is then magnified and focused onto an imaging device, such as a fluorescent screen, a layer of photographic film, or a sensor such as a charge-coupled device. Transmission electron microscopes are capable of imaging at a significantly higher resolution than light microscopes, owing to the smaller de Broglie wavelength of electrons. This enables the instrument to capture fine detail—even as small as a single column of atoms, which is thousands of times smaller than a resolvable object seen in a light microscope. Transmission electron microscopy is a major analytical method in the physical, chemical and biological sciences. TEMs find application in cancer research, virology, and materials science as well as pollution, nanotechnology and semiconductor research."

"text": "\"BERKELEY, CA � For the first time researchers have used a transmission electron microscope -- the One Angstrom Microscope (OÅM) at the Department of Energy's National Center for Electron Microscopy (NCEM) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory -- to image lithium atoms. Only atoms of hydrogen and helium are smaller and lighter than those of lithium, which under ordinary conditions is not a gas but a soft, white metal. The first experimental image of lithium atoms from a transmission electron microscope: the image shows the arrangement of lithium ions among cobalt and oxygen atoms in the compound lithium cobalt oxide. Yang Shao-Horn of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Michael O'Keefe of Berkeley Lab's Materials Sciences Division used the OÅM to simultaneously resolve columns of lithium, cobalt, and oxygen atoms in the compound lithium cobalt oxide (Li Co O 2 ). They and their colleagues report their work in the July, 2003 issue of the journal Nature Materials, in a report currently accessible online. Li Co O 2 is commonly used in the positive electrodes of lithium rechargeable batteries, whose operation is based on reversible insertion and removal of lithium ions to and from their positive and negative electrodes. Widely used in laptop computers, digital cameras, and many other devices, lithium ion batteries store more energy for their weight, operate at a higher voltage, and hold a charge much longer than other rechargeable batteries. The structure of lithium cobalt oxide: layers of lithium lie between slabs of octahedrons formed by cobalt and oxygen atoms. To improve their performance will require understanding how the atoms in the electrode materials -- and the vacancies left by moving ions -- are arranged in 3-D on the atomic scale. The structure of Li Co O 2 is known theoretically and has been confirmed with techniques like x-ray diffraction and neutron powder diffraction: layers of lithium atoms lie between slabs of cobalt and oxygen, which are arranged in octahedrons."

"text": "\"Home »Biology The Advantages of Studying Cells Under a Light Microscope By David H. Nguyen; Updated April 25, 2017The light, or compound, microscope is a tool that every biology student is likely to encounter. Understanding its advantages will give insight into mastering its usefulness for the classroom or the clinic. The many experimental techniques that have been perfected for use with a light microscope, its ease of use, and its relatively affordability compared to other types of microscopes make it the preferred choice for many life science applications. Cheapest Price Microscopy technology has exploded in recent decades, with some of the more advanced microscopes providing more detailed information than the classical compound (light) microscope. Fluorescent microscopes allow scientists to see two different proteins at same location in a cell using red and green markers that overlap to form a yellow color. Electron microscopes show the three-dimensional features of a cell's surface. The compound light microscope, using only white light, does not possess those capabilities. However, electron microscopes and fluorescent microscopes range in price from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars, while a compound microscope currently can be purchased for as little as $100. Dozens of Experimental Procedures Developed Studying tissue with light microscopy has been practiced for over 50 years. Light microscopy is the most accessible form of microscopy around the world and still one of the main training tools for pathologists, or physicians who diagnose diseases by examining microscopic tissue structure."

So the question is will matter also produce interference patterns. The answer is yes, tested by firing a stream of electrons.if we lower the intensity of light, or the flux of electrons (the electric current), we should be able to see each photon strike the screeneach photon makes a dot on the screen, but where is the interference pattern? However, notice that electrons do act as particles, as do photons. For example, they make a single strike on a cathode ray tube screen. So if we lower the number of electrons in the beam to, say, one per second. Does the interference pattern disappear?the interference pattern is still there, it simply takes some time for enough photons, or electrons, to strike the screen to build up a recognizable patterninterference, or a wave phenomenon, is still occurring even if we only let the photons, or electrons, through one at a timeso what are the individual particles interfering with? apparently, themselves The answer is no, we do see the individual electrons (and photons) strike the screen, and with time the interference pattern builds up. Notice that with such a slow rate, each photon (or electron) is not interacting with other photons to produce the interference pattern."

The advantages and disadvantages of electron microscopy are discussed in more detail below. Each of these factors should be considered before deciding whether electron microscopy is the right solution for the situation at hand. Magnification and High Resolution One of the most significant advantages of electron microscopy is the ability to produce powerful magnification. It offers a higher resolution than what is possible with optical microscopy and plays an important role in many areas of scientific research for this reason.

View larger image Figure 1 Light path of a microscope. The optimal set up for a light microscope is referred to as 'Kohler illumination'. In this case the iris diaphragm of the lamp, the specimen and the primary image are simultaneously in focus. The objective forms a magnified primary image of the specimen in the image plane, which is viewed and further magnified by the eyepiece. In practice each of the optical elements usually consists of several lenses, which are designed to minimise the distortions that would be produced by using a simple single lens. While the study of optics is outside the scope of this course, you should know that the effective magnification of a microscope is the product of magnification produced by the objective and the eyepiece. The geometry of light microscopes varies greatly, but there are two main types: Where the light source is below the section and the objective above it - this is the conventional arrangement. Where the light source is above the section and the objective beneath it - this is often referred to as an inverted microscope. In both cases, systems of mirrors or prisms within the microscope body reflect the light to direct it to the eyepiece, which is in a convenient position for the observer."

Next Section Abstract Mitochondria extrude protons across their inner membrane to generate the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨ m) and p H gradient (Δp H m) that both power ATP synthesis. Mitochondrial uptake and efflux of many ions and metabolites are driven exclusively by Δp H m, whose in situ regulation is poorly characterized. Here, we report the first dynamic measurements of Δp H m in living cells, using a mitochondrially targeted, p H-sensitive YFP (Syp Her) combined with a cytosolic p H indicator (5- (and 6)-carboxy-SNARF-1). The resting matrix p H (∼7.6) and Δp H m (∼0.45) of He La cells at 37 °C were lower than previously reported. Unexpectedly, mitochondrial p H and Δp H m decreased during cytosolic Ca 2+ elevations. The drop in matrix p H was due to cytosolic acid generated by plasma membrane Ca 2+ -ATPases and transmitted to mitochondria by P i /H + symport and K + /H + exchange, whereas the decrease in Δp H m reflected the low H + -buffering power of mitochondria (∼5 m m, p H 7.8) compared with the cytosol (∼20 m m, p H 7.4)."

A special effort was made to model the reactivation process to enable the effect of the temperature variable to be quantified. Because an earlier-proposed kinetic model (K. Kashimada, N. Kamiko, K. Yamamoto, and S. Ohgaki, Water Sci. Technol. 33:261-269, 1996), a first-order saturation type, does not adequately fit the data obtained in experiments of reactivation in conditions of light and darkness, a modification of that model is proposed. The new model, which actually coincides with the classical logistic equation, incorporates two kinetic parameters: the maximum survival ratio ( S m) and the second-order reactivation rate constant ( k 2 ). In order to interpret correctly the reactivation occurring in conditions of darkness, a new term for the decay is added to the logistic equation. The new model accurately fits the data obtained in reactivation experiments, permitting the interpretation of the kinetic parameters S m, k 2, and M (for only repair in darkness), where M is mortality, a zero-order decay rate constant, and their relationship with various environmental conditions, such as microbial type, light, and temperature. The parameters S m and k 2 (and M for reactivation in conditions of darkness) show exponential dependence on the reactivating temperature, and it is possible to predict their values and hence the reactivation curve from the equations proposed in this work."

Proteins are important building blocks of all cells and tissues; they are important for body growth, development, and health. They form the structural part of most organs and make up enzymes and hormones that regulate body functions. This test measures the total amount of the various types of proteins in the plasma portion of your blood. There are two classes of proteins, albumin and globulin, found in the blood. Albumin is a carrier of many small molecules, but its main purpose is to keep fluid from leaking out of blood vessels through osmotic pressure."

Andro Gel provides continuous transdermal delivery of testosterone, the primary circulating endogenous androgen, for 24 hours following a single application to intact, clean, dry skin of the shoulders, upper arms and/or abdomen. A daily application of Andro Gel 5 g, 7.5 g, or 10 g contains 50 mg, 75 mg, or 100 mg of testosterone, respectively, to be applied daily to the skin's surface. Approximately 10% of the applied testosterone dose is absorbed across skin of average permeability during a 24-hour period. The active pharmacologic ingredient in Andro Gel is testosterone. Testosterone USP is a white to practically white crystalline powder chemically described as 17-beta hydroxyandrost-4-en-3-one. Inactive ingredients in Andro Gel are ethanol 67.0%, purified water, sodium hydroxide, carbomer 980 and isopropyl myristate; these ingredients are not pharmacologically active. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGYAndro Gel (testosterone gel) delivers physiologic amounts of testosterone, producing circulating testosterone concentrations that approximate normal levels (298 – 1043 ng/d L) seen in healthy men. Testosterone – General Androgen Effects: Endogenous androgens, including testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT), are responsible for the normal growth and development of the male sex organs and for maintenance of secondary sex characteristics. These effects include the growth and maturation of prostate, seminal vesicles, penis, and scrotum; the development of male hair distribution, such as facial, pubic, chest, and axillary hair; laryngeal enlargement, vocal chord thickening, alterations in body musculature, and fat distribution."

H. Wilson Tang MD 2Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.cardfail.2013.08.004 Get rights and content Abstract Awareness has grown in recent years that right ventricular (RV) function is equally important as left ventricular (LV) function in the setting of left-sided heart disease. RV dysfunction can be the consequence of an increased afterload imposed by the failing LV. The concept of “afterload” is physically most correctly described by vascular input impedance. However, for clinical purposes, afterload is most often modeled to consist of 3 components; pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), pulmonary arterial compliance (PAC), and characteristic impedance. Whereas PVR is historically most described, PAC (which represents the distensibility of the vasculature) has rapidly gained recognition for its prognostic ability in both pulmonary arterial hypertension and left-sided heart disease. Owing to the specific anatomy of the pulmonary circulation, PVR and PAC have an inverse hyperbolic relationship, which position can be shifted by varying wedge pressures. Knowledge of the afterload components helps one to understand how elevated left-sided filling pressures increase pulsatile load on the RV. An increase in resistive load (known as “reactive” or “out-of-proportion” pulmonary hypertension) ultimately complements the increase in pulsatile load. Perturbations in nitric oxide metabolism are thought to be crucial in this evolution and have therefore been sought as a major therapeutic target. Previous article Next article Key Words Nitric oxide pulmonary arterial compliance pulmonary vascular resistance right ventricular afterload The Importance of Right Ventricular Function Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction has historically been underappreciated outside a few specific clinical scenarios such as pulmonary embolism, right ventricular infarction, or pulmonary arterial hypertension."

"text": "Home » Health Conditions » Diseases Elevated ESR: what does it mean? The formal name for an ESR test is Erythrocyte sedimentation rate. This is a general test that has been used for many years to assist in the diagnosis of a number of inflammatory medical conditions. Often used in conjunction with other tests, it is highly regarded as a base test for diagnosis of temporal arteritis, autoimmune disorders, and polymyalfia rheumatica. So if you have an elevated ESR, what does it mean? Doctors will usually request an ESR test along with other tests when patients have symptoms that include: anemia, unexplained or sudden weight loss, recurring headaches, stiffness of the joints, neck or shoulder pain and pain in the pelvic area. While these symptoms can include a number of disorders, the ESR is used as a guideline to begin the diagnosis process. An ESR test measures the inflammation in the body. Used along with family history and other tests, a single ESR test may not be sufficient for a diagnosis. Multiple ESR tests over longer periods of time may be needed to get a more specific result."

By Forest Tennant, MD, Dr PHPage 2 of 2Clinical Study of ESRMany clinical reports detail high ESR levels in a variety of clinical conditions. 1 After a literature review, I could not find any prior attempts to show whether pain treatment, per se, will lower an elevated ESR. To this end, I conducted a study of ESR levels in 50 consecutive pain patients referred to my pain clinic by their primary care providers.8 All patients had chronic pain conditions that were not adequately controlled by a daily morphine equivalent dosage of 20 to 40 mg. The causes of pain in these patients were spine ailments (60% [n=30]); neuropathy (24% [n=12]); headaches (4% [n=2]); and miscellaneous (12% [n=6]). None had rheumatoid arthritis, temporal arteritis, or acute infection, which are well known to elevate the ESR. Opioids administered at the time of referral included low dosages of hydrocodone, codeine, or oxycodone. Ten of the 50 patients (20%) had ESRs >20 mm/h (normal: men, 3 mm/h; women, 7 mm/h). Treatment in the first 90 days was simply to increase opioid dosages to a level that controlled the patient's pain and enabled them to function and not be bed- or house-bound. With essentially no other treatment other than increased pain relief with opioids, 7 of the 10 patients (70%) with elevated ESRs returned to normal levels."

Paget, MD, FACP, FACRDisclosures February 18, 2003Question Have any data shown a correlation between the level of rise of CRP and inflammatory diseases like temporal arteritis/polymyalgia rheumatica? ( Since ESR is affected by anemia, are there any factors that affect CRP besides infection?) Has anyone ever published data for follow-up and titration of treatment based on CRP levels? Response from Stephen A. Paget, MD, FACP, FACRPolymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) and temporal arteritis (TA) are companion systemic inflammatory disorders that occur in older patients (mean age, 70 years) and are diagnosed on clinical grounds, based on their characteristic presenting features. Certainly, most patients with PMR and TA have elevated or markedly elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rates (ESRs) and c-reactive proteins (CRPs), but you must appreciate that a low ESR (< 40 mm/hour) in active TA and PMR is not a rare occurrence and 2% may have a normal ESR. Similar findings exist with the CRP. Both the ESR and the CRP are acute-phase reactants and commonly reflect the state of the immune and inflammatory response. However, some patients may be unable to mount an acute-phase response with regard to tests but surely have a disorder that demands treatment. In TA, this could be vision-saving if instituted immediately. Also, in some patients, the ESR is markedly elevated and the CRP is low or normal and vice versa."

An increased ESR rate may be due to several things and since the test is a very general test for inflammation, many things can cause this count to be high. One primary thing to look for is infection in the teeth. Typical so called \"\"modern dentistry\"\" can actually cause infections to exist and many without pain as what is caused from cavitations in the jaw bone below ALL root canals done by the typical \"\"standard of care\"\" dentists use today. Some other ailments that can cause high ESR results are: Anemia, Kidney disease, Osteomyelitis, Pregnancy, Rheumatic fever, Rheumatoid arthritis, Syphilis, Systemic lupus erythematosus, Thyroid disease, Tuberculosis, Other inflammatory conditions such as the teeth I've mentioned. There are several other additional conditions that may affect test results such as Allergic vasculitis, Atrial myxoma, Autoimmune hepatitis, Endometritis, Eosinophilic fasciitis, Osteomyelitis, etc. Your doctor is most likely telling you to ignore it because he has no idea what is causing it and to find out will take a lot of his time and more likely than not, has no idea where to look.

C-Reactive Protein Test Is Ordered When Arthritis Is Suspected By Carol Eustice | Reviewed by Grant Hughes, MDUpdated February 12, 2018Share Pin Email Print Tetra Images/Getty Images The CRP (C-Reactive Protein) test is a blood test that measures the concentration of a special type of protein produced in the liver. The protein is present during episodes of acute inflammation or infection. In the body, CRP interacts with the complement system, an immunologic defense mechanism. An elevated CRP test result is an indication of acute inflammation. In cases of inflammatory rheumatic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, doctors can utilize the CRP test to assess the effectiveness of a specific arthritis treatment and monitor periods of disease flare-up. Its value is as a general indicator, though, not specific. By \"\"not specific\"\", it is meant that the CRP test does not reveal what is causing inflammation in the body. It simply indicates that there is inflammation. With inflammatory disease, a low CRP level is possible."

"text": "Blood tests to diagnose rheumatoid arthritis Although blood tests cannot give a firm rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis, they can help doctors and specialist rheumatologists narrow down clues in the blood about arthritis and inflammation. What blood markers are used to diagnose rheumatoid arthritis? Rheumatoid factors are a variety of antibodies that are present in seventy to ninety percent of people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However a low level of rheumatoid factor can be found in people without rheumatoid arthritis or with other autoimmune disorders. In general, when no rheumatoid factor is present in someone with rheumatoid arthritis, the course of the disease is less severe. A new test for rheumatoid arthritis, which measures levels of antibodies that bind citrulline modified proteins (anti-CCP), is more specific and tends to be only elevated in patients with rheumatoid arthritis or in patients about to develop rheumatoid arthritis. The presence of anti-CCP antibodies can be used to predict which patients will get more severe rheumatoid arthritis. Are there tests to determine inflammation? Yes. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (sed."

( Background Information)Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is the speed at which red blood cells, or erythrocytes, settle to the bottom of a blood sample. The faster the rate, the higher the chance of inflammation or other conditions Blood is composed of one-third to one-half cells by volume; the rest is a clear fluid, called plasma. Of these cells, more than 99% are red blood cells (RBCs)Red blood cells are flexible, which enables them to squeeze through narrow blood vessels. They sometimes form stacks called rouleaux that resemble dinner plates stacked on top of one another During inflammation, proteins (such as C-reactive protein and fibrinogen) and other factors increase the rate at which RBCs stack and clump together. The inflammation can either be acute or chronic. Acute inflammation occurs due to trauma or other sudden event. Chronic inflammation may be due to diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis When blood cells stack together in a blood sample, their size and mass increase."

In light of current health management quality review systems a revised criteria for FUO in the elderly has been proposed. These revised criteria require an evaluation of at least 3 days in patient evaluation, 3 outpatient visits for similar complaints or 1 week of logical & intensive outpatient testing without determining the fever cause. Fever is classified as a temperature increase of 2°F (1.1°C) over baseline which may not exceed 100°F-101°F (37.8°C - 38.3°C). Persistent elevation of body temperature of at least 2°F regardless of the technique of measurement (oral, rectal, axillary, tympanic) has been proposed. Other investigators have suggested an oral temperature of 99°F (37.2°C) or greater on repeated measurement or rectal temperature of 99.5°F (37.5°C) or greater on repeated measurement. Generally older individuals experience difficulty maintaining their body temperature. Their hypothalamus is less responsive to pyrogens and they do not preserve and conserve heat as efficiently as do younger patients. Despite how you determine fever, a decreased incidence of FUO in the elderly has occurred over the past several decades. This is directly related to increase physician awareness and utilization of advanced laboratory and radiologic studies."

See related patient information handout on polymyalgia rheumatica, written by the authors of this article. Polymyalgia rheumatica and temporal arteritis are closely related inflammatory conditions that affect different cellular targets in genetically predisposed persons. Compared with temporal arteritis, polymyalgia rheumatica is much more common, affecting one in 200 persons older than 50 years. Temporal arteritis, however, is more dangerous and can lead to sudden blindness. The diagnosis of polymyalgia rheumatica is based on the presence of a clinical syndrome consisting of fever, non-specific somatic complaints, pain and stiffness in the shoulder and pelvic girdles, and an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Temporal arteritis typically presents with many of the same findings as polymyalgia rheumatica, but patients also have headaches and tenderness to palpation over the involved artery. Arterial biopsy usually confirms the diagnosis of temporal arteritis. Early diagnosis and treatment of polymyalgia rheumatica or temporal arteritis can dramatically improve patients' lives and return them to previous functional status."

Among First Tests Ordered When Arthritis Is Suspected By Carol Eustice | Reviewed by Grant Hughes, MDUpdated April 14, 2017Share Pin Email Print Franz Aberham/Photographer's Choice RF/Getty Images A sed rate, short for erythrocyte sedimentation rate, is a blood test that detects nonspecific inflammation in the body. Nonspecific means that the sed rate test does not identify the source of the problem or illness which is causing the inflammation. An elevated (abnormally high) sed rate does suggest that there is an ongoing inflammatory process, but not how or why. If you consult a doctor because you are experiencing persistent joint pain, the doctor will perform a physical examination and order diagnostic tests. You should expect your doctor to order x-rays of the affected joints, as well as certain blood tests. A sed rate is typically among the first blood tests ordered when arthritis is suspected. A sed rate can also be elevated when infection or tumor is present. Illnesses associated with the breakdown or decreased function of tissue or organs can cause an elevated sed rate. Pregnancy is yet another condition linked to an elevated sed rate."

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.

"text": "\"Flag What does a high hematocrit level mean? Answer by Jonathan Shie Confidence votes 31Not sure if this is asked as a personal health inquiry or as a student looking for information needed for academic coursework, but here goes... Red blood cells are the cells in your body that carry oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body. Think of them as sacks of a protein called \"\"hemoglobin\"\". Hemoglobin is what actually gives your red blood cells the ability to carry oxygen. A high hematocrit simply means that you have a higher concentration of hemoglobin in the blood. First of all, it could indicate dehydration, or normal amount of hemoglobin, but too little blood (plasma) volume. If this is the case, depending on how high the hematocrit is, rehydration might be needed. It could also be compensatory. Many people with chronic diseases of the lung could have a higher RBC count, which is their body's way of compensating for a decreased lung capacity. If there's not enough oxygen, a way to keep blood oxygen levels closer to normal is to increase the amount of oxygen-carrying cells so that more of the oxygen in the air that is breathed into the lungs gets into the blood, improving stamina back to more normal levels."

The reference range of the reticulocyte percentage in adults is 0.5%-1.5%. [ 2]The reference range of the corrected reticulocyte percentage in adults is 0.5%-1.5%. [ 2]Note that the reference ranges for automated reticulocyte count (absolute reticulocyte count), immature reticulocyte fraction (IRF), and reticulocyte specific hemoglobin content (mean reticulocyte hemoglobin content [CHr] and reticulocyte hemoglobin equivalent [Ret-He]) vary owing to the different methods and different instruments used. Each laboratory should determine reference values according to their own methods and instruments. A comparison of different reference ranges as reported by different authors can be found in a review published article by Piva et al. [ 3]Interpretation Reticulocyte percentage versus absolute reticulocyte count The reticulocyte count is used to estimate the degree of effective erythropoiesis, [ 1] which can be reported as absolute reticulocyte count or as a reticulocyte percentage. In the latter case, if anemia is present, the reticulocyte percentage is spuriously high and may not reflect true bone marrow responses to anemia; therefore, the value has to be adjusted to a corrected reticulocyte percentage based on the patient’s hematocrit. [ 4, 5, 1, 2] Using an automated hematology analyzer, the automated absolute reticulocyte count is reported. Just as hematocrit is used to correct the reticulocyte percentage, the red blood cell (RBC) count is already incorporated in a similar purpose to generate the absolute reticulocyte count; therefore, it is not necessary to calculate a correction for absolute reticulocyte count.

Unless you are in the medical field and studied rheumatic diseases, you probably have never heard of some of the blood tests associated with diagnosing, and managing lupus. Due to the complexities of SLE, there are many blood tests that need to be regularly run just to keep track of where, how, and how badly the disease is affecting your body. Lupus can go into any part or organ of the human body, making it impossible to predict, but with the use of proper and continual testing, our specialists can keep track of lupus and manage it properly.http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/healthlibrary/conditions/adult/arthritis_and_other_rheumatic_diseases/systemic_lupus_erythematosus_lupus_85Lupus is difficult to diagnose because of the vagueness of the symptoms each person might have. There is no single test that can diagnose lupus. A diagnosis is usually confirmed based on a complete medical history, reported symptoms, and a physical examination that may include the following: Blood test (to detect for certain antibodies that are present in most people with lupus)Blood and urine tests (to assess kidney function)Complement test (to measure the level of complement, a group of proteins in the blood that help destroy foreign substances; low levels of complement in the blood are often associated with lupus)X-rays - a diagnostic test which uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs onto film. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (also called ESR or sed rate) - a measurement of how quickly red blood cells fall to the bottom of a test tube. When swelling and inflammation are present, the blood's proteins clump together and become heavier than normal. Thus, when measured, they fall and settle faster at the bottom of the test tube."

If you don’t use it you lose it! That aptly applies to interpreting the complete blood count (CBC) and differential (diff). Most of us are well acquainted with hemoglobin, hematocrit and white blood cells (WBC), but perhaps the rest of those numbers are insignificant to the particular patient being tested … or are they? What is the meaning of those other components of the CBC and diff? Blood Components Blood is made of two major components-plasma and cells. Plasma is the liquid part of the blood in which the formed cells are suspended. The plasma consists of water, plasma proteins (a few of which are serum albumin and globulin and fibrinogen), and other constituents. Plasma makes up more than half of the total blood volume. The cells are the blood components that will be discussed in this review."

When you have a low RBC count, hemoglobin, and hematocrit and/or symptoms of anemia; when a healthcare practitioner wants to evaluate your bone marrow function; sometimes as part of a complete blood count (CBC)Sample Required? A blood sample obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in your arm or sometimes from a fingerstick or heelstick (infant)Test Preparation Needed? None The Test Sample What is being tested? Reticulocytes are newly produced, relatively immature red blood cells (RBCs). A reticulocyte test determines the number and/or percentage of reticulocytes in the blood and is a reflection of recent bone marrow function or activity. Red blood cells are produced in the bone marrow, where blood-forming (hematopoietic) stem cells differentiate and develop, eventually forming reticulocytes and finally becoming mature RBCs."

"text": "Anemia or low hemoglobin levels and low red blood cell count is a problem we hear of quite often. But some people face an issue that’s quite the opposite. Elevated levels of hemoglobin or hematocrit can cause you to feel faint, impair your vision, and leave you with other problems like an enlarged spleen. Knowing the causes can help you find the right treatment and fix the problem as soon as possible. Why Is Hemoglobin So Important? Red blood cells and hemoglobin are integral to the healthy functioning of your body. The hemoglobin itself transports oxygen to various parts of your body, keeping the tissues supplied with adequate levels of oxygen. The higher your red blood cell count, the more the hemoglobin and, by extension, the better equipped your body will be to ensure oxygen is available everywhere. 1Normal Levels Of Hemoglobin And Hematocrit A blood test should help you test your hemoglobin levels A normal healthy adult male should have hemoglobin levels of 13.8 to 17.2 g/d L. A normal healthy adult female should have a measure 12.1 to 15.1 g/d L. For newborns, the normal levels are 14 to 24 g/d L and for infants a reading of 9.5 to 13 g/d L is normal. 2Hematocrit tests, on the other hand, measure the levels of red blood cells in your total blood volume."

A complete blood count (CBC) is a common blood test used in dogs to measure and evaluate cells that circulate in the blood. The test includes an actual counting of red and white blood cells as well as an analysis of cells viewed on a blood smear. A CBC may be useful as a screening test for underlying infection, anemia and illness. Sometimes, the CBC can help determine the underlying cause of an anemia or infection. Drugs that affect the bone marrow change the CBC. Certain types of cancers, especially leukemia, may be evident on a blood smear.

"text": "The Effects of Anemia on the Cardiovascular Systemby MARTIN HUGHES Aug. 14, 2017There are numerous effects of anemia on the cardiovascular system. According to the U. S. National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health, iron deficiency is one of the principle causes of anemia, although certain medical conditions, including sickle cell anemia and cancer, can also cause anemia. The human body needs iron to produce hemoglobin, which carries oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and organs. Anemia is particularly challenging on the cardiovascular system. Video of the Day Rewind 10 Seconds00:0000:58Fullscreen Oxygen Delivery Decreased oxygen delivery to the tissues and organs is one of the main effects of anemia on the cardiovascular system. According to the American Association of Kidney Patients (AAKP), while anemia is characterized by decreased oxygen delivery to the tissues, muscle tissue is particularly affected. The National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), a division of the National Institutes of Health, states that a person with anemia has a lower than usual number of red blood cells (the red blood cells don't contain enough hemoglobin). In both situations, a person's body does get enough oxygenated blood, which may cause fatigue or other symptoms. Over time, states the NHLBI, decreased oxygen delivery by the cardiovascular system can cause heart and brain damage, along with damage to the body's other organs, and in some cases, anemia may even cause death. Hematocrit Anemia affects a person's hematocrit, a measure of the percentage of the volume of whole blood, including plasma, that's made up of red blood cells."

The hematocrit is the proportion, by volume, of the blood that consists of red blood cells. The hematocrit (hct) is expressed as a percentage. For example, a hematocrit of 25% means that there are 25 milliliters of red blood cells in 100 milliliters of blood. How is the hematocrit measured? The hematocrit is typically measured from a blood sample by an automated machine that makes several other measurements of the blood at the same time. Most of these machines in fact do not directly measure the hematocrit, but instead calculate it based on the determination of the amount of hemoglobin and the average volume of the red blood cells. The hematocrit can also be determined by a manual method using a centrifuge. When a tube of blood is centrifuged, the red cells will be packed into the bottom of the tube. The proportion of red cells to the total blood volume can then be visually measured."

How is a person’s hematocrit level measured and what exactly is supposed to be a normal level when it comes to hematocrit level? Here are a few facts on hematocrit levels that you might want to know about: Hematocrit levels are basically based on the proportion of red blood cells a person has in his body and this level is expressed in percentage form. The percentage that shows how many red blood cells you have is expressed as such: If a person has an HCT level or hematocrit level of 40 percent, it means that for 100 milliliters of his blood, he has 40 milliliters that consist of red blood cells. When hematocrit levels need to be measured, it can be done automatically with a machine that calculates the hematocrit level in a person’s blood and determine hemoglobin amounts and red blood cell average volumes. Manual measuring is done with the use of a centrifuge system. How to Determine Hematocrit Normal Range When a person wants to know if he or she has normal hematocrit levels or if they want to know if members of their family have normal HCT levels, here is a list of normal ranges depending on age: Newborn babies should have 55 percent to 68 percent HCT levels. A one-week-old baby should have HCT levels between 47 percent and 65 percent. A three-month-old baby should have HCT levels that range from 30 percent to 36 percent. An HCT level of 29 percent to 41 percent is normal for a one-year-old baby."

This test is typically used as a measure of tissue damage in an individual. It may be used to measure acute tissue damage, which has occurred due to a recent illness or injury. It may also be used to measure chronic tissue damage which has occurred due to a debilitating and progressive condition. Because of this function, the LDH test may also be used to measure and detect the rate of progression of such a condition based on the rate at which the results are progressing. The LDH blood test is carried out under instruction from a doctor when there is sufficient evidence to point to cellular or tissue damage. The level of LDH has to be elevated in order to confirm that there is some sort of damage in the body. However, the LDH level alone may not be able to pin point the exact location of the damage or injury. A further test or series of tests may be ordered to locate the area where the damage has occurred."

D., University of New Mexico School of Medicine, Albuquerque, New Mexico Am Fam Physician. 1999 Apr 15;59 (8):2223-2230. A number of pitfalls can be encountered in the interpretation of common blood liver function tests. These tests can be normal in patients with chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis. The normal range for aminotransferase levels is slightly higher in males, nonwhites and obese persons. Severe alcoholic hepatitis is sometimes confused with cholecystitis or cholangitis. Conversely, patients who present soon after passing common bile duct stones can be misdiagnosed with acute hepatitis because aminotransferase levels often rise immediately, but alkaline phosphatase and γ-glutamyltransferase levels do not become elevated for several days. Asymptomatic patients with isolated, mild elevation of either the unconjugated bilirubin or the γ-glutamyltransferase value usually do not have liver disease and generally do not require extensive evaluation. Overall hepatic function can be assessed by applying the values for albumin, bilirubin and prothrombin time in the modified Child-Turcotte grading system."

Your muscles require chemical reactions to supply them with energy, help them repair damage and help them function. High muscle enzymes in your blood can mean that muscle cells have been damaged. High muscle enzymes can also occur because of muscle-wasting disorders or because of damage to another organ that contains some of the same enzymes as your muscles, such as the liver. If you have high muscle enzyme levels in your blood, your doctor will evaluate any symptoms you have and perform other necessary tests to find out the cause.

Creatine phosphokinase makes possible a chemical reaction that converts creatine into phosphate, which is a quick energy source for your muscles. Serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, which is also called SGOT or aspartate aminotransferase, is necessary for your body to process amino acids and use them to build the proteins in your muscle tissue.

Because of their role in maintaining life processes, the assay and pharmacological regulation of enzymes have become key elements in clinical diagnosis and therapeutics. The macromolecular components of almost all enzymes are composed of protein, except for a class of RNA catalysts known as ribozymes. The term ribozyme is derived from ribo nucleic acid en zyme. Most of the characterized ribozymes are molecules of ribonucleic acid that catalyze reactions on one of their own phosphodiester bonds or within other RNAs. In addition, there are known ribozymes that catalyze reactions on proteins, the best example being the peptidyltransferase activity of the large ribosomal subunit of protein synthesis. Enzymes are found in all tissues and fluids of the body. Intracellular enzymes catalyze the reactions of metabolic pathways. Plasma membrane enzymes regulate catalysis within cells in response to extracellular signals, and enzymes of the circulatory system are responsible for regulating the clotting of blood .

The first step in the evaluation of patients with pleural effusion is to determine whether the effusion is a transudate or an exudate. An exudative effusion is diagnosed if the patient meets Light’s criteria. The serum to pleural fluid protein or albumin gradients may help better categorize the occasional transudate misidentified as an exudate by these criteria. If the patient has a transudative effusion, therapy should be directed toward the underlying heart failure or cirrhosis. If the patient has an exudative effusion, attempts should be made to define the etiology. Pneumonia, cancer, tuberculosis, and pulmonary embolism account for most exudative effusions.

"text": "Blood Tests Overview Blood tests are used to measure the number of blood cells in circulation and the levels of chemicals, enzymes, proteins, and organic waste products that are normally found in the blood. The levels of blood cells, such as red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets, may be low in patients receiving treatment for cancer. Also, the levels of some chemicals normally found in the blood may be either too high or too low as a result of the cancer or its treatment. There are two types of blood tests typically performed during cancer treatment: the complete blood count (CBC) and a blood chemistry panel. Complete Blood Count (CBC)The CBC measures the levels of the three basic blood cells: red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. In the United States, the CBC is typically reported in the format shown in Table 1 below. It is important to understand not only which blood counts are being tested, but also how those results are reported. You will want to pay careful attention to the results column, which shows any results that are normal and the flag column, which shows any results that are abnormal. Table 1: CBC with results and reference interval CBCTest Result Flag Units Reference Interval White Blood Count 1.5 L x 10-3/m L 4.0-10.5Red Blood Count 3.50 L x 10-6/m L 4.70-6.10Hemoglobin 10.8 L g/d L 14.0-18.0Hematocrit 31.1 L % 42.0-52.0Platelets 302 x 10-3/m L 140-415Polys 23 L % 45-76Lymphs 68 H % 17-44Monocytes 7 % 3-10Eos 2 % 0-4Basos > % 0.2Polys (absolute) .34 L x 10-3/m L 1.8-7.8Lymphs (absolute) 1.0 x 10-3/m L 0.7-4.5Monocytes (absolute) 0.1 x 10-3/m L 0.1-1.0Eos (absolute) 0.1 x 10-3/m L 0.0-0.4Basos (absolute) 0.0 x 10-3/m L 0.0-0.2Result column: The result column shows counts that fall within the normal range.

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. Liver transaminases ( AST or SGOT and 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."

They are often discussed in the context of myocardial infarction, but other conditions can lead to an elevation in cardiac marker level. Most of the early markers identified were enzymes, and as a result, the term \"\"cardiac enzymes\"\" is sometimes used. However, not all of the markers currently used are enzymes. For example, in formal usage, troponin would not be listed as a cardiac enzyme. [ 1]Contents [ hide ]1 Applications of measurement2 Types2.1 su PAR3 Limitations4 See also5 References6 Further reading7 External links Applications of measurement [ edit]Measuring cardiac biomarkers can be a step toward making a diagnosis for a condition. Whereas cardiac imaging often confirms a diagnosis, simpler and less expensive cardiac biomarker measurements can advise a physician whether more complicated or invasive procedures are warranted. In many cases medical societies advise doctors to make biomarker measurements an initial testing strategy especially for patients at low risk of cardiac death. [ 2] [3]Many acute cardiac marker IVD products are targeted at nontraditional markets, e.g., the hospital ER instead of traditional hospital or clinical laboratory environments. Competition in the development of cardiac marker diagnostic products and their expansion into new markets is intense. ["

The test basically helps to closely monitor autoimmune disease activity. The test is also known as CH50, Total Hemolytic Complement activity, Total complement, C3, CH100 and C4. The test also goes by the formal names of Complement Component C3, Complement activity and Complement Component C4. The complement system is composed of a set of blood proteins that circulate and work with each other to boost immunity and to promote inflammatory responses. They primary perform the function of destroying viruses and bacteria. The primary components of the complement system are nine in number and they are designated from C1 to C9. The complement system is different from the acquired immune system, as it does not generate specific antibodies that can destroy a viral agent on target. The complement system thus need not be exposed to a virus earlier to remember to destroy it. Instead, it forms part of the body's innate immune system which responds to foreign substances very quickly and can identify them by studying the outer membranes of these foreign cells and microorganisms."

LDH is known by various names, LD, lactatic dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, LDH isoenzymes, or total LDH. LDH (consisting of five molecular forms of LDH) is an enzyme found in all cells and tissues of the body. This enzyme is released into the blood once there is trauma or damage to a tissue or organ. An LDH blood test is performed to detect and determine the extent of tissue disease or damage to the brain, kidney, muscles, liver, and lungs. It is performed in case of bone fractures, anemia, and cancers. This test can be called for if the doctor wants to ascertain or rule out organ disease or damage. LDH tests are also used to determine tissue damage in an accident or injury. As red cells may disintegrate after an artificial valve implant, cardiologists may also call for an LDH test. Test Normal Range A doctor recommends a blood test to determine the location and extent of tissue trauma."

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.

"text": "Elevated Liver Enzymes The liver is one of the most important organs in the body, and is responsible for a number of functions that keep the body working as it is designed. The liver detoxifies your blood, produces proteins that help with clotting, handles cellular waste, processes nutrients, stores vitamins, and helps your body make glucose. Any one of these processes being inhibited could lead to serious complications, so in order to detect damage you'll want to have some blood tests done. This will check for how many liver enzymes are found in your blood; if elevated liver enzymes are present, this could indicate that the liver is damaged, as they are normally only found within the liver. What Does Elevated Liver Enzymes Mean? Elevated liver enzymes could mean that the cells in the liver are inflamed or damaged as injured or damaged liver cells would release certain chemicals into the bloodstream, leading to higher than normal amounts of the chemicals, such as liver enzymes. In order to check for elevated levels your doctor will likely test for increased amounts of two specific liver enzymes: aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), whose normal ranges are: AST = 5 to 40 units per liter of serum ALT = 7 to 56 units per liter of serum In most cases, your doctor will find elevated liver enzymes in a routine blood test, and he or she will recommend ways to lower these amounts, as typically levels are only mildly elevated for a short time and are not linked to a serious problem. What Can Be the Causes for Your Elevated Liver Enzymes? There are actually a number of reasons why you may have elevated liver enzymes, and a doctor can help you to identify these factors and rule out serious disease. Many medications, particularly those for cholesterol, and even acetaminophen-based pain relievers can cause levels to rise."

When the Bilirubin levels reach a certain amount in our blood, it can make color changes in our whites of the eyes and skin...it will appear more yellow (jaundice). When this bilirubin is made from our dead red blood cells by the liver or the spleen... it is first in a non soluble form and then the liver takes it and converts it into a soluble (dissolves easily in liquid) form. [ this is what is meant by the direct or indirect bilirubin] When the liver converts it to a soluble form, it will be able to flow with the bile (that the liver makes) through tube like structures [known as ducts] to the gallbladder to be stored and concentrated. When we eat, hormones signal the gallbladder to contract and release the bilirubin/bile to the ducts to flow to the intestines to emulify the fats we ate. If the bile ducts become blocked by a gallstone or growth, then this bile/bilirubin can back up into the liver and the bilirubin goes into the blood. This can also occur if the ducts are malformed, twisted or strictured in nature. If there is damage to the liver cells, then the bilirubin may not be converted to a soluble form and will stay in the blood. Or it could be that a persons body is making too many red blood cells which would raise the level of bilirubin being made as the red blood cells die."

December 7, 2012 Newsletter Article 206 Comments 204,554 Views Facebook Liver Function Tests A blood test for your liver checks the following: • The function of the liver, which will show if the liver is manufacturing enough protein for the body to function normally • The amount of bile pigment in the blood – this can be elevated if there is a blockage in the bile ducts or if there is a deficiency of a liver enzyme that processes bile; bile pigment is known as bilirubin • The level of your liver enzymes – if these are elevated this means that your liver cells are inflamed or slightly damaged which can be from various causes. Your blood test for liver function will be processed by an automated multi-channel analyzer and is extremely accurate; it will check the blood levels of the following: Liver Enzymes AST – (aspartate aminotransferase), which was previously called SGOT. This enzyme can also be elevated in heart and muscular diseases and is not liver specific. Normal range of AST is 5-45 U/L. ALT – (alanine aminotransferase), which was previously called SGPT and is more specific for liver damage. Normal range of ALT is 5-45 U/L. AP – (alkaline phosphatase) is elevated in many types of liver disease but also in non-liver related diseases. Normal range of AP is 30-120 U/L. GT – (gamma glutamyl transpeptidase) is liver specific. GT is often elevated in those who use alcohol or other liver toxic substances to excess. Normal range of GT is 5- 35 U/L. Question: Why do all or some of these enzymes become elevated in cases of liver dysfunction or disease?"

He will do more blood tests to see if the liver cells have become damaged: 1) the liver enzymes are made by the liver cells... when there is damage to the liver cells, these enzymes will leak out and go higher in the blood. However, there is only one liver enzyme that is specific to the liver (because it is made mostly by the liver cells) and that is the ALT. The other enzymes are found in other organs, also. These tests can be higher if you exercised before the test was done, had an intramuscular injection or muscle injury."

"text": "How to Improve Liver Enzymes With Abstinence From Alcoholby MAURA SHENKER Aug. 14, 2017Your liver works to filter waste from your body, removing excess nutrients and toxins from your system. Think of elevated liver enzymes as an indication that your liver is working overtime. There are four separate liver enzymes, each one giving a clue about what could be damaging your liver. AST and ALT are two enzymes associated with liver cell damage and inflammation. ALT is a better indication of liver damage, because AST is found in other organs besides the liver. GGT and AP are two enzyme associated with inflammation in your bile ducts and can build-up in your bloodstream because they can't get through your blocked bile ducts. Alcoholic liver disease can cause elevated levels of all four types of enzymes. Step 1Stop drinking alcohol. According to the University of Iowa Hospital, alcohol is a poison and any amount of alcohol can produce damage to the liver. Your liver does not distinguish between different forms of alcohol -- a beer or glass of wine is not a better choice than hard liquor if you are trying to reverse liver damage."

Last updated Tue 16 January 2018By Christian Nordqvist Reviewed by Graham Rogers, MDSymptoms Diet Treatment Causes Diagnosis Home remedies Gilbert syndrome is an inherited genetic condition in which a person has slightly high levels of bilirubin pigment, because the liver does not process it properly. This can give a slightly yellow color, or jaundice, to the skin and eyes. It is also known as constitutional hepatic dysfunction and familial nonhemolytic jaundice. The condition is harmless, and patients do not need treatment. In the United States (U.

Many people with Gilbert syndrome have no symptoms. Around 30 percent find out they have it by chance through routine tests. Bilirubin is made when the body breaks down red blood cells."

Definitely not – the Internet has a huge influence on our vocabularies and favorite sayings. But don’t worry about the downfall of English just yet. While some people worry that hashtags and emoticons will fundamentally diminish the spoken word as we know it, these fears are overblown. When it comes to the way we communicate with each other, it’s obvious the Internet influenced some major changes: Email superseded snail mail, Facebook pretty much swallowed the idea of calling someone and wishing them a happy birthday, our job hunts are conducted through Linked In or Craigslist. It’s slightly less in-your-face, but the Internet is also shifting the words we use to speak to one another, not just the way we choose to communicate. Our obsession with the Internet even influences the simple act of talking – out loud, in real life (IRL, if you prefer). Certain acronyms, neologisms, and abbreviations have infiltrated everyday speech – if I say something like “OMG, WTF, why did my ex like my status, obvi I’m unfriending him,” most people would know what I’m talking about (even if they’ll roll their eyes at how annoying I am). Since people often communicate online and through text messages, truncated turns of phrase and space-saving emoticons are now mainstream."

Source (s):colombia flag mean: https://shortly.im/W5Or5Anonymous · 3 years ago1 0 Comment DESCRIPTION The current flag of Colombia was officially adopted on December 17, 1819. The flag features three horizontal bands of yellow (double-width), blue and red. Colors of the flag are commonly interpreted in two ways: One version indicates that the yellow symbolizes sovereignty and justice, blue as loyalty and vigilance, and red represents the valor shown and the victory achieved during the battles for independence from Spain. A very popular children's song claims that yellow represents the gold Colombia once owned until the arrival of the Spanish, blue indicates the country's contact with two oceans and red represents the blood that Colombians spent in their struggle for independence from Spain."

"text": "\"'Twitch-speak': A Guide to the Secret Emoji Language of Gamers Share Share What's This? Image: Mashable Composite, Twitch By Alex Magdaleno Aug 08, 2014Twitch, the popular video game streaming platform, is no stranger to the emoji craze — only its pictographic language is significantly different to the one on your i Phone keyboard. As more and more people head to the site to watch their favorite streamers play their favorite video game, the interactive chat feature and its list of emoticons have grown as well — having been part of the Twitch experience since its launch in 2011 (the streaming site Justin.tv created the platform specifically for gaming content). See also: Playing Video Games Is a Full-Time Job for This Twitch Streamer Instead of selecting their emoticon from a keyboard-based list of options, Twitch viewers type a one-word phrase into chat. The phrase often has an extremely obscure connection to the image. For instance, if a viewer types the word \"\"Franker Z,\"\" a picture of a dog will appear in the chat. Viewers can use multiple emoticons at once, so you will see walls of these emoticons. Here's a sample of what the Twitch chat of EDM superstar Steve Aoki's first concert broadcast on the platform looked like — not the crying faces (\"\"Bible Thump\"\") and the gray faces (\"\"Kappa\"\"). Image: Twitch While Twitch had a role in the creation of its earliest emoticons, a large portion of the now 10,000 emoticons have been created by streamers who either make the pictures themselves or enlist the help of artists in the community. What started out as being an inside joke between the early founders of Justin.tv has effectively turned into a community-building tool — and the language of Twitch."

"text": "Some Thoughts On The Winky Face ;-)By Erin Bailey , September 27th 2011Comment Flag http://tcat.tc/Zt7J5ZSmiley faces have been around for a while – I can remember getting brightly colored happy stickers in elementary school on the quizzes I aced – but the digital advent of emoticons as they’re known today all started back in ’82, with an email (hard to believe they had email back then) written by a scientist at Carnegie-Mellon University. I’m not sure how long it took people to start using them or who came up with the winky face ;-) we all know and love (or hate) today, or any of the dozens of other emoticons, or ‘smileys’ practically everyone from our generation uses in texts, in instant messaging, on Facebook, everywhere. Maybe our generation should be called Generation :-) instead of Generation Y or whatever they’re calling us. Now, conveniently, you don’t have to put your complicated thoughts and sentiments into words. You can just use a smiley. Different smileys can encompass myriad emotions. They are, after all, called emote -icons for a reason. A simple :-) could mean… thank you; I’m in a good mood; I like you; I don’t know what to say but I want the conversation to keep going; I’m trying to ease the harshness of what I just said without actually apologizing or weakening my opinion; I’m unnecessarily reinforcing the positive attitude of what I just said; I’m unsuccessfully attempting to be mysterious by not saying anything and just smiling like the Mona Lisa… a smiley can mean pretty much anything you want. Unless you’re sad. Then you should use :- ( That can mean…I’m sorry; I’m upset; I don’t like you; you insulted me; pity me, please; my dog just died and you’re being really insensitive about it; I don’t possess the basic faculties necessary to communicate my feelings so I’ll just use these punctuation marks instead."

"text": "\"Education & Reference Other - Education How long is EMT Training? How long does it usually take for you to become a certified paramedic? If you are a paramedic is it hard?1 following 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: In the U. S. right now the EMT course is about 110 hours in length which can be done in 3 weeks or 3 months if you just go one or two nights per week. The Paramedic length of training varies from state to state but usually averages 5 - 9 months. In Texas you can do the training in 600 hours or 3 months. For the Paramedic, you will have protocols to follow and med control to call if you have a patient you don't know how to treat. You just have to be able to deal with sick and injured people in a professional manner. In some areas you may need to become a firefighter in order to get a decent job as a Paramedic. That is harder.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from AEMT)navigation search Advanced emergency medical technician (AEMT) is a mid-level provider of prehospital emergency medical services in the United States; a transition to this level of training from the Emergency Medical Technician-Intermediate ( EMT-I ), which had somewhat less training [1], began in 2013 and has been implemented by most states at this point. The AEMT is not intended to deliver definitive medical care in most cases, but rather to augment prehospital critical care and provide rapid on-scene treatment. AEMTs are most usually employed in ambulance services, working in conjunction with EMTs and paramedics, however are also commonly found in fire departments as non-transporting first responders. The AEMT is authorized to provide limited advanced life support, which is beyond the scope of an EMT. Contents [ hide ]1 Education and training2 EMT-I/853 EMT-I/994 Advanced EMT5 Scope of practice6 See also7 References8 External links Education and training [ edit]Advanced EMTs must be certified as EMTs prior to seeking certification as an AEMT in most states. However, in some states AEMT is the introductory level and may not require prerequisites [2]. Certification as an AEMT involves a class lasting from three to six months, the curriculum for which is largely outlined by the NAEMT but can vary slightly from state to state. AEMT training is regulated at both the state and federal level. At the federal level, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has developed a minimum content and hour curriculum, known as the National Standard Curriculum, but this is not binding on the states. Along with classroom time, the AEMT student is required to complete several hours of clinical experience in an advanced life support ambulance or other ALS environment such as an emergency department. During these clinical hours, the AEMT student must successfully demonstrate full practical knowledge of skills learned."

"text": "“EMT Basic” Skills Are Not Basic. February 2, 2009 by Steve Whitehead Tweet I’m all for doing away with the title “EMT Basic”. When I first became an EMT they called the certification EMT-1A. Wouldn’t it be nice to just call paramedics EMT-1B’s or 2A’s or something more accurate like that? Then maybe we could quit calling EMT-1As “basics”. So why this aversion the “basic” title you ask? Well, for one, it just doesn’t do justice to what an EMT is expected to know and do. I don’t see anything basic about the EMT basic skill set. Notice that my website doesn’t have a category dedicated to intubations or medication administration. However, I do dedicate an entire category to the discussion of patient assessment. That’s no accident."

Either they're shrieking past in traffic and making you late for work, or you're riding in one while blood squirts from a horrific fireworks injury. Well, we have bad news: The world of ambulances, and the long-suffering crews who work inside them, is quite a bit more horrifying than you thought.5 Ambulances Tend to Explode Photos.com You know you've had a bad day when you can't describe it without using the term \"\"ambulance explosion.\"\" But ambulances do explode. A lot. The oxygen tanks carried by the majority of EMS units detonate every now and then, as compressed gas is wont to do, and sometimes ambulances themselves just burst into flames for no apparent reason. One ambulance caught fire while just sitting in the bay after only one year of service, and another ignited while transporting a patient to the hospital. Via Wusa9.com Tragically, their brand of burn salve turned out to be highly explosive. The thing is, you kind of assume ambulances are the safest mode of transportation around.

Each program is a stepping stone for the next starting with the Emergency Medical Technician program. The level of certification needed for employment is dependent on where a graduate is looking to apply and what type of work they will be doing. EMT – Emergency Medical Technician Diploma The Emergency Medical Technician technical diploma program includes 180 hours of entry-level training in emergency medicine. Students develop the skills and knowledge needed to assess and manage all types of injuries and acute illnesses while providing safe and rapid patient transport to a medical facility. Emergency medical technicians can drive an ambulance, open and maintain a patient’s airway, ventilate patients, perform CPR and other basic lifesaving skills. Completion of the program will allow the individual the ability to test and credential through the National Registry of EMTs. Emergency Medical Technician is the foundational program for Gateway’s EMS cluster. Anyone wishing to pursue other levels of EMS licensure, such as Advanced EMT or Paramedic, must first be licensed as an Emergency Medical Technician before being eligible to register in subsequent EMS licensure programs.

Junior EMT programs are designed to help increase the number of applicants for EMT positions. These programs are usually developed around local and state laws, regulations and restrictions. The details of a program, such as the age of program participants and the program requirements, are usually guided by the law. Some states have specific laws pertaining to the minimum age of riders in an ambulance, work hour restrictions, or exposure to situations that may be encountered during EMS runs.

Posted on March 24, 2014 by admin Emergency medical technicians, otherwise known as EMT’s are a vital part of the first response team that responds to a variety of emergency situations including motor vehicle accidents, fires, medical emergencies and more. The duties of an EMT include administering life-saving medical care on the scene of an emergency and while en route to a medical facility. Life as an EMT is unpredictable and can provide a very rewarding way to earn a living, however, the hours can be long and the work can be grueling and sometimes difficult to deal with emotionally. If you’re looking to become an EMT, there are a few things you need to know. First, there are three nationally recognized levels of EMT’s that require differing levels of education and training. These include:1) First Responder- EMT Basic (EMT-B): As a first responder or EMT basic, your job will be to respond to medical emergencies as they unfold. They are specially trained to provide rapid, specialized care in order to stabilize patients for further treatment. Most individuals trained as First Responders do not have the authority to make large medical care decisions; they are critical to the emergency response team and provide valuable services. For example, many first responders will perform CPR on patients who are experiencing a heart stoppage."

How hard is the NREMT exam? There’s no doubt about it; the NREMT exam has a challenging reputation for a reason. According to the National Registry’s most recent published data from 2014, on a national average, approximately 33 percent of EMTs fail the test on the first try and 23 percent of paramedics fail on their first try. While that statistic sounds like something between boot camp and making it into the NBA, it’s not as bad as a looks (see the next question), nor is this an entirely bad thing.

You may be wondering why you need to see a specialist instead of simply sticking with your primary doctor. Here are some reasons why an endocrinologist will provide the level of support and care that you need with this diagnosis. An Endocrinologist is a True Specialist An endocrinologist is a specialist who has thoroughly studied hormonal conditions and knows the best possible treatments, even when conventional treatments do not work well. Unlike a family doctor or general practitioner, an endocrinologist studies hormones and hormonal diseases in depth, and this specialist will be able to provide the best possible treatment. Most general practitioners have the skills necessary to diagnose and treat basic hormonal conditions, but sometimes the help of a specialist is needed. An Endocrinologist Helps Non-Traditional Patients Some patients have diseases that progress as the textbooks say they should. The standard treatments work and they are able to manage their conditions with oral or injected medication with minimal disruption to their day-to-day living. Other patients find that conventional treatment does not work. They stick with the treatments religiously, but they achieve no results."

"text": "Natural Graves Disease Treatment Methods Graves’ Disease is an autoimmune thyroid condition that can cause symptoms such as increased heart rate, palpitations, weight loss, increased appetite, and numerous other symptoms. It is characterized by an overproduction of thyroid hormone, which is what leads to these symptoms. Conventional Graves Disease treatment methods consist of antithyroid drugs and radioactive iodine therapy, and while these are usually effective in managing the symptoms of this condition, they do nothing to address the actual cause of this condition. On the other hand, a natural Graves Disease treatment protocol has the potential to restore one’s health back to normal. Rather than taking prescription drugs on a long term basis to manage the symptoms or receive harsh treatment methods such as radioactive iodine therapy, a natural Graves Disease treatment protocol will attempt to get to the underlying cause of your disorder. In fact, more and more people with Graves’ Disease are choosing natural treatment methods to help restore their health. Although most endocrinologists label Graves’ Disease as being incurable, many people can have their health restored to normal by following a natural treatment protocol. Sure, for some people it might be necessary to take antithyroid medication or beta blockers on a temporary basis while addressing the cause of the condition, but the ultimate goal should be to detect and then remove the autoimmune trigger, and restore the health of any compromised areas of the body. In fact, I was personally diagnosed with Graves’ Disease and successfully used natural treatment methods to restore my health back to normal.

Some hormone functions are common to both sexes while other take highly gender-specific forms. Endocrinologists may work with gynecologists, andrologists (urologists focusing on the male reproductive system) or fertility specialists on hormonal conditions specific to men or women. Women Female endocrinology has to do largely with the reproductive cycle driven by estrogen and other cyclical female hormones. Related issues that the endocrinologist may help evaluate and provide care for include:early or delayed menarche;menstrual irregularity;heavy, light or absent menses;premenstrual syndrome;abnormalities that may produce symptoms that cycle with menses, such as ovarian cysts or uterine fibroids;perimenopause;menopause;endocrine-related depression, fatigue or reduced sex drive;and hormone replacement therapy. Endocrinologists help determine any hormonal irregularities that may contribute to or worsen these conditions and sometimes provide medical interventions, including those that increase or decrease hormonal stimulation. The endocrinologist may work closely with the gynecologist, gynecologic surgeon, family doctor or other physician on these conditions. Men Men whose testes produce abnormally low amounts of testosterone (hypogonadism), may received testosterone replacement therapy. For some men, lower than normal testosterone produces no apparent effects; for others, effects of this condition may include:reduced sexual function, in terms of desire, erections and fertility;insomnia or other sleep problems;reduced muscle size and strength, more body fat and lower bone density;and emotional changes, such as less confidence and motivation, lower mood and difficulty in concentration and memory.

"text": "Type 1 Diabetes In Adults Published March 28, 2018 by Gabrielle Kaplan-Mayer Print Text Size: A A AFor years, distinguishing between the various types of diabetes was pretty straightforward: Juvenile diabetes ,” an autoimmune disease, was diagnosed primarily in children and teenagers when their own body’s immune system destroyed the insulin-producing (beta) cells in their pancreas. “ Adult-onset diabetes ” occurred in adults and was generally associated with insulin resistance and often with overweight. And “ gestational diabetes ” occurred in pregnant women and disappeared once the pregnancy was over. In the past 25 years, however, determining what type of diabetes a person has has become more of a challenge. In large part, that’s because more and more children and teenagers are now being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes — the type that occurred predominantly in adults in generations past. Most of these children and teens are overweight. At the same time, it’s becoming clearer that Type 1 diabetes can occur at any age and sometimes occurs in people who are overweight. In addition, another type of diabetes, called latent autoimmune diabetes in adults, or LADA, that shares some characteristics with both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, has been recognized. Muddying the water further is the realization that diabetic ketoacidosis, an acute, life-threatening complication of diabetes that is caused by a lack of insulin, can occur in people with Type 2 diabetes — not just in people with Type 1, as was previously thought. And while gestational diabetes is still diagnosed only in pregnant women, it is sometimes discovered that what is thought to be gestational diabetes is really Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes that happens to start during pregnancy."

The reimbursement for a consult is more than a referral. Therefore, most cognitive specialists prefer to see new patients in consultation. Sometimes, however, there is confusion regarding the difference between a consult and a referral. A consultation is a rendering of advice or professional opinion, followed by a report of findings to the referring physician. A referral on the other hand is simply a request to assume care of a patient."

If your child has problems with growth, puberty, diabetes, or other disorders related to the hormones and the glands that produce them, a pediatric endocrinologist may treat your child. Hormones are chemicals that affect how other parts of the body work. For example, hormones decide how a child grows and matures. Endocrine glands, such as the pituitary gland, release hormones into the bloodstream. Endocrinology is the science that studies these glands and the effects of the hormones. Problems seen by pediatric endocrinologists are often quite different from those commonly seen by endocrinologists who care for adults. Special training in pediatric conditions as they relate to growth and development is important. Hormonal problems are often present for life.

"text": "Primary Hyperaldosteronism The Facts You Need To Know – Download Fact Sheet What is Primary Hyperaldosteronism Primary hyperaldosteronism is a disease caused by an excess production of the normal adrenal hormone aldosterone. This hormone is responsible for sodium and potassium balance, which then directly controls water balance to maintain appropriate blood pressure and blood volume. What causes Primary Hyperaldosteronism People with a deficiency of aldosterone, especially found in association with cortisol deficiency in Addison’s disease, have low blood volume and therefore low blood pressure, low sodium and high potassium. Just the opposite is seen in hyperaldosteronism. Primary hyperaldosteronism causes high blood pressure and a low serum potassium. The serum sodium is usually in the normal range. A separate disorder called secondary hyperaldosteronism is the result of abnormal fluid shifts seen in congestive heart failure, liver disease and certain kidney diseases. Primary hyperaldosteronism used to be considered a rare disease, but recent studies show it to be a fairly common cause of hypertension. It is usually considered by physicians if they find an unexpectedly low potassium in a person being treated for hypertension. However, many people with this disease have potassium levels in the normal range."

Typical costs: For patients not covered by health insurance, h GH typically costs about $500 to $7,500 for a monthly supply administered by injection daily. The cost depends on the dose and what condition is being treated; for adults with growth hormone deficiency, the cost would be on the lower end of the range because a lower dose is needed; for children with growth hormone deficiency, the cost would be in the middle of the range, depending on the size of the child; for AIDS patients, who require larger doses, it would be on the higher end.h GH sometimes is covered by health insurance if considered medically necessary, but some patients have had coverage denied. The Magic Foundation [ 1] offers help making the case for coverage or appealing a denial, and outlines patients' experiences getting approval. For patients covered by insurance, typical out-of-pocket costs would consist of a monthly copay as high as $300 to $700 or more.

You need to be referred by your general physician. That is where a lot of the problems start, and many people experiencing thyroid disease find themselves having to defend their symptoms or fight test results to prove they need the help of a specialist. What many people don't know is that they can bypass their general practitioner, and get a recommendation from the Thyroid Foundation of America. Who are the Endocrinologists? It can be confusing when looking for doctors. All the initials are gibberish to most people."

"text": "Is Your Thyroid Doctor Using the Old TSH Lab Standards? November 12, 2012 by Dana Trentini 11 Comments Most conventional doctors rely on TSH as the gold standard to measure thyroid functioning. Many mainstream doctors do not run a full thyroid panel that should at least include Free T4, Free T3, Reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies. Unfortunately TSH alone does not provide a complete picture. If doctors are going to rely on TSH alone, however, they should at least give consideration to the controversy over the TSH normal reference range and consider this when diagnosing patients. Right? We are more than a lab number. It’s up to us to take control of our thyroid health and insist our doctors treat us the patient and not this controversial TSH lab number, even if they look at us like we are CRAZY for questioning them!The thyroid gland is a little butterfly-shaped gland at the base of our necks. TSH stands for Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, a hormone produced in the pituitary gland in the brain that tells the thyroid how much thyroid hormone to make. Typically, if there is a low level of thyroid hormone in the body, the pituitary will increase production of TSH to stimulate the thyroid to produce more thyroid hormone."

The study, published in the Journal of Medical Screening assessed over 4000 people between the ages of 50 and 65 and found about 8% have low thyroid levels. When weight goes up, many people suspect a low thyroid. But when they go to the doctor, they get the routine “ TSH ” test and are told “it is borderline” and probably not the problem. As an endocrinologist, I see this frequently. There are so many cases with borderline thyroid testing where the thyroid really was to blame. Once treated, thyroid patients lose a lot of weight without a major change in their diet or exercise routine. Thyroid experts recognize the TSH test as the test of choice when thyroid disease is suspected. An elevated TSH test diagnoses hypothyroidism . TSH is more sensitive than other thyroid tests because it begins to rise before thyroid hormones drop."

Description The common term for enlarged prostate is BPH, which stands for benign (non-cancerous)prostatic hyperplasia or hypertrophy. Hyperplasia means that the prostate cells are dividing toorapidly, increasing the total number of cells, and, therefore, the size of the organ itself. Hypertrophy simply means \"\"enlargement.\"\" BPH is part of the aging process. The actual changes in the prostate may start as early as the 30s but take place very gradually, so that significantenlargement and symptoms usually do not appear until after age 50.

Opposite of endocrine glands, this is an exocrine gland; such as the liver and adrenal glands. It's part of your reproductive system and it sits just under your bladder. The main reason this gland exists is to enhance the quality of sperm by secreting Prostate Specific Antigen fluids (PSA). The alkaline content in the fluids it produced in ejaculate protects the sperm because vaginal areas are acidic and can damage sperm."

An antigen is an antibody designed to protect against disease. And because we can test for a prostate specific antigen, the volume of that antigen can indicate the seriousness of any disease that is attacking the prostate. By itself, a PSA reading does not mean very much. The PSA is only a very rough indicator. It certainly does not predict prostate cancer, but it may give you an early indication. However, the PSA is very unreliable and essentially flawed as a test for prostate cancer because a raised PSA can mean many different things. The PSA score, however, is the very best indication of the general health of your prostate. It may be an enlarged prostate or an inflamed one or prostatitis that causes your PSA reading to rise."

But this enlargement can generate some similar symptoms to what happen in prostate cancer – see more this issue in this section!In general, the very early stage of prostate cancer doesn’t lead to any signs and symptoms at all.

"text": "Overview Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) — also called prostate gland enlargement — is a common condition as men get older. An enlarged prostate gland can cause uncomfortable urinary symptoms, such as blocking the flow of urine out of the bladder. It can also cause bladder, urinary tract or kidney problems. There are several effective treatments for prostate gland enlargement, including medications, minimally invasive therapies and surgery. To choose the best option, you and your doctor will consider your symptoms, the size of your prostate, other health conditions you might have and your preferences. Symptoms The severity of symptoms in people who have prostate gland enlargement varies, but symptoms tend to gradually worsen over time. Common signs and symptoms of BPH include: Frequent or urgent need to urinate Increased frequency of urination at night (nocturia)Difficulty starting urination Weak urine stream or a stream that stops and starts Dribbling at the end of urination Inability to completely empty the bladder Less common signs and symptoms include: Urinary tract infection Inability to urinate Blood in the urine The size of your prostate doesn't necessarily determine the severity of your symptoms. Some men with only slightly enlarged prostates can have significant symptoms, while other men with very enlarged prostates can have only minor urinary symptoms. In some men, symptoms eventually stabilize and might even improve over time. Other possible causes of urinary symptoms Conditions that can lead to symptoms similar to those caused by enlarged prostate include: Urinary tract infection Inflammation of the prostate (prostatitis)Narrowing of the urethra (urethral stricture)Scarring in the bladder neck as a result of previous surgery Bladder or kidney stones Problems with nerves that control the bladder Cancer of the prostate or bladder When to see a doctor If you're having urinary problems, discuss them with your doctor."

For some men, this doesn’t bring about any serious symptoms, but for others, an enlarged prostate can lead to issues that affect not just prostate health, but their quality of life. An enlarged prostate affects one in five men between the ages of 50 and 60, and it’s even more common in older men. The symptoms can certainly be bothersome, and they can even cause problems in your personal life or at work because you can’t sleep. Turning to medication or surgery can make matters worse in some cases, especially when it isn’t entirely necessary, but there are some lifestyle and diet changes that can make a difference when it comes to an enlarged prostate. What Is an Enlarged Prostate? The prostate, a gland in the male reproductive system, is located just below the bladder, between the rectum and the base of the penis. Because the prostate wraps around part of the urethra, where urine passes through, an enlarged prostate may cause issues with urination. When the prostate grows, it may push against the bladder and urethra, making you feel like you need to urinate even though your bladder is not full and preventing the urine from flowing out naturally. This feeling becomes stronger when the muscles at the bottom of the bladder begin contracting, even when only a small amount of urine is present."

By Lisa Fayed | Reviewed by Doru Paul, MDUpdated October 21, 2017Share Pin Email Print Credit: Keith Brofsky Collection/Stockbyte/Getty Images When a man goes to the doctor for a regular checkup, he may undergo a PSA test, which measures a protein called prostate-specific antigen in the blood. The PSA test is used as a screening tool for prostate cancer, meaning if it's high, it can indicate that a man has prostate cancer. Even so, sometimes the result of a PSA test comes back high, even if a man does not have prostate cancer. In other words, there are other reasons besides cancer why a man may have an elevated PSA. Learn more about how to interpret your PSA result, below, and why it's important to discuss your test and its potential and actual results with your doctor. What a High PSA Test Result Can Mean It used to be believed that in a healthy male, a PSA level should be less than 4 nanograms (ng) per milliliter (m L) of blood. So, anything higher than 4 would indicate an increased risk that prostate cancer is present and a prostate biopsy would be recommended. Now, though, research shows that a man can have prostate cancer even if his level is less than 4 ng/m L, and that many men have PSA levels higher than 4.0ng/m L and do not have prostate cancer. Experts have learned too that other variables play a role in what constitutes an optimal PSA level like a person's race or ethnicity."

"title": "http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-an-environmental-coordinator.htm\nWhat is an Environmental Coordinator?",
"text": "An environmental coordinator is someone who is responsible for formulating, researching, and enforcing environmental policies. Environmental coordinators can work in a wide variety of settings, depending on their area of interest. Most have at least a bachelor's degree in environmental science or a related topic, along with work experience in the environmental field. Some may also have more extensive experience in areas such as environmental engineering, education, technical writing, or other areas, depending on where they work and the kind of work that they do. One common setting for an environmental coordinator is a government office. Environmental coordinators can work for local and regional governments, helping set environmental goals and making sure that those goals are met. For government workers, the goal is to generate improvements and to work on preserving the environment for future generations. A government environmental coordinator may be involved with issues as far ranging as pollution, littering, water management, city planning, energy usage, protection of natural resources, invasive species eradication, and public education. Environmental health may also be a concern for an environmental coordinator. He or she may monitor ongoing construction projects, work with the public health department to address health issues such as unclean water, and protect the environment by inspecting businesses to confirm that they are not releasing harmful materials into the environment."

"text": "Abstract This article examines local recovery plans that were created in response to the Wenchuan earthquake and then suggests ways that planners can better apply the concept of sustainability to the recovery process. We utilize a plan evaluation protocol to analyze 16 recovery plans in counties and towns that were severely affected by the earthquake. We also conducted semi-structured interviews with public officials and planners, with the qualitative data gleaned from these interviews being used to supplement the plan quality assessment. The results reveal that local recovery plans do not appear to have incorporated sufficiently the concepts of sustainability. We conclude the paper with the following recommendations: emphasizing sustainability as a policy priority during vision and goal development; developing solid databases and planning techniques; designing a diversified set of regulatory- and incentive-based policy tools suitable for local governments; enhancing social and institutional learning; and further integrating multi-level and interagency governmental units. Keywords: Wenchuan earthquake , disaster recovery , sustainability , plan evaluation1. Introduction Natural disasters have long been considered one of the major challenges confronting humankind. In recent years, both the incidence and frequency of natural disasters have increased (Masozera, Bailey, and Kerchner 2007Masozera, M., M. Bailey, and C.

"text": "A bill was introduced in Congress last week and referred to the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology by Representative Gaetz from Florida to terminate the Environmental Protection Agency. If you’re thinking, but hasn’t the EPA been around for a long time?, you’re not wrong—the EPA was proposed by President Nixon in 1970 via an executive order which was later ratified by Congress. So why might Congress want to terminate an almost 50-year-old agency? Let’s look at how the EPA works and what the EPA does for those of us living in the US and for the rest of the planet. What Is the Role of the EPA? The stated mission of the Environmental Protection Agency is to “protect human health and the environment.” So they ensure that the living and working environments of those living in the US do not pose a significant risk to our health. They do this primarily through research into environmental conditions, through educating the public, and through making sure the federal health and environmental laws enacted by Congress are enforced effectively. In the 1960s, pesticides like dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (or DDT) were widely used to protect crops from pests like insects."

It’s Whitewashing, But with a Green Brush. Everyone’s heard the expression “whitewashing” — it’s defined as “a coordinated attempt to hide unpleasant facts, especially in a political context. ”“Greenwashing” is the same premise, but in an environmental context. It’s greenwashing when a company or organization spends more time and money claiming to be “green” through advertising and marketing than actually implementing business practices that minimize environmental impact. It’s whitewashing, but with a green brush. A classic example is an energy company that runs an advertising campaign touting a “green” technology they’re working on — but that “green” technology represents only a sliver of the company’s otherwise not-so-green business, or may be marketed on the heels of an oil spill or plant explosion."

In 1992, the American Academy of Pediatrics established October as Child Health Month in order to focus national attention on children’s health issues. This month and throughout the year, EPA works with parents, teachers, health providers and other partners to promote healthy environments where children live, learn and play. Only through partnerships and collaboration can we make a difference and leverage the needed resources and support to guard all children against environmental health threats. EPA is proud to partner with people and organizations that are on the forefront in protecting children’s health and the environment, which is consistently true for Dr. Jennifer Lowry and the Mid-America Pediatric Environmental Health Specialty Unit. Dr. Lowry is a crucial partner to EPA, and her work is instrumental in creating a healthier future for our children. By Jennifer Lowry, MDPediatricians love children. We love helping children become the best people they can be. We love doing what is needed to make the world a better place for children to be healthy."

Purpose The purpose of this interagency Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is to establish and improve the working relationship between the Office of Enforcement of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) of the Department of Labor. The goals of the agencies are to improve the combined efforts of the agencies to achieve protection of workers, the public, and the environment at facilities subject to EPA and OSHA jurisdiction; to delineate the general areas of responsibility of each agency; to provide guidelines for coordination of interface activities between the two agencies with the overall goal of identifying and minimizing environmental or workplace hazards. This MOU establishes a process and framework for notification, consultation and coordination between EPA and OSHA to aid both agencies in identifying environmental and workplace health and safety problems and to more effectively implement enforcement of our national workplace and environmental statutes. This MOU is intended to improve the information exchange relating to job-site safety and health, protection of the public health and environment thereby reducing the potential for workplace related injury, death, and environmental contamination. This MOU implements OSHA's authority under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) and EPA's general and statute-specific authorities to enter into agreements with other federal agencies to further the legislative objectives of Congress and the President. II. Background & Responsibilities EPA and OSHA have the statutory responsibility to ensure the safety and health of the public and America's workforce through the timely and effective implementation of a number of federal laws and implementing regulations."

Coordinated review is the process by which all involved agencies cooperate in one integrated environmental review. Coordinated review has two major elements: establishing a lead agency and determining the interests and concerns of involved agencies so these interests and concerns may be considered by the lead agency in the determination of significance and in scoping an environmental impact statement.2. When is review coordinated under SEQR? Coordinated review is required for all Type I actions, for all actions that require an EIS, and for all Unlisted actions subject to a Conditioned Negative Declaration. It is an option for all other Unlisted actions. Coordinated review should be considered as soon as an agency is faced with a decision subject to SEQR and recognizes that another agency will be involved in the action. 3.

"text": "Home » Behavior-based safety: A study of pros and cons Behavior-based safety: A study of pros and cons August 1, 2009 One Comment Approach divides worker safety advocates By Marvin V. Greene, associate editor KEY POINTSBuilt into the BBS approach are initiatives that include having line workers observe the behavior of fellow workers, logging near-miss incidents and devising modest recognition programs. Companies, risk managers and consultants applaud BBS as one component of a holistic approach for driving occupational safety and health improvements. Labor unions believe BBS fuels underreporting of workplace injuries and illnesses because it often is tied to incentive programs and fails to address the root causes – actual hazards. Effective programs provide a mechanism to pinpoint unsafe behaviors, proponents say. When discussing effective measures for keeping workers safe, a deep divide exists regarding one approach: behavior-based safety. BBS targets changes in worker behavior as a means of preventing occupational injuries and illnesses. “ Most likely, you’re either for it or against it,” said Oliver Wirth, a research psychologist with NIOSH’s Health Effects Laboratory Division in Morgantown, WV. Many contend that worker behavior correlates directly with an immediate cause of accidents and injuries. Built into the BBS approach are initiatives that include having line workers observe the behavior of fellow workers, logging near-miss incidents, and securing feedback and devising recognition programs intended to spot unsafe behaviors and mitigate them. Wirth said BBS remains a much-debated topic in safety and health circles."

"text": "\"An ocean engineer researches, designs, and builds various types of marine equipment. Professionals utilize their knowledge of the physical and chemical properties of seawater to solve problems related to ocean research and transportation. An ocean engineer might specialize in designing ships, complex measuring instruments, oil rigs, or large systems used to desalinate seawater or provide hydroelectric power. Engineers work in many different industries and settings, including oil companies, environmental protection agencies, and military branches. Ocean engineers usually work in offices or laboratories, researching different types of existing marine equipment and determining the need for new technology. Working with a team of other marine specialists, an ocean engineer creates blueprints and schematics for new equipment and vehicles using computer-aided design ( CAD) software. He or she puts designs through simulated computer tests to determine their effectiveness, and then oversees the construction of models and prototypes. Once a design is approved, the engineer helps to coordinate large-scale manufacture. Many professionals engage in the research and development of instruments that are used to test ocean depths, composition, and temperature. An engineer who works for a private company might be involved in the construction of new ships and ports, while an engineer employed by a government or military agency might design submarines, radar systems, underwater communications systems, or missiles."

"text": "\"Static Dissipative Mats (ESD Mats) / Conductive Mats Static Dissipative Mats and Conductive Mats are designed to protect sensitive equipment, such as computers and explosive chemicals, by quickly drawing the static electricity off workers before they touch such items. Humans quickly generate static electricity by walking, shifting their position or even rolling on a chair. Even the slightest touch can pass electricity onto sensitive equipment, which can destroy processors or cause flammable chemicals to ignite. In order to prevent such problems, we provide both Electrically Conductive and Static Dissipative mats. Conductive mats can disperse static electricity quicker than can static dissipative mats. Thus, conductive mats should be used near extra sensitive equipment. All conductive matting and dissipative matting needs to be grounded to function properly. For this, we provide ground cords, heel grounders and wrist straps. Electro Soft Static Dissipative Mats Electro Soft is a truly dissipative, sponge vinyl, anti-fatigue mat. Three times more resilient than ordinary vinyl sponge mats. •"

"text": "\"To Magazine Home Page ESD Explained By Beth Leonard What every boater needs to know about Electric Shock Drowning. Download the PDF version of this article. Photo: Brian Fitgerald One year ago, over Fourth of July weekend, Alexandra Anderson, 13, and her brother Brayden Anderson, 8, were swimming near a private dock in the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri when they started to scream. Their parents went to their aid, but by the time the siblings were pulled from the lake, they were unresponsive. Both children were pronounced dead after being transported to a nearby hospital. About two hours later, Noah Winstead, a 10-year-old boy, died in a similar manner at Cherokee Lake, near Knoxville, Tennessee, and Noah's friend, 11-year-old Nate Parker Lynam, was pulled from the water and resuscitated but died early the following evening. According to local press reports, seven other swimmers were injured near where Noah died. These were not drowning victims. In all of these cases, 120-volt AC (alternating current) leakage from nearby boats or docks electrocuted or incapacitated swimmers in fresh water. This little-known and often-unidentified killer is called Electric Shock Drowning, or ESD, and these deaths and injuries were entirely preventable."

Yet, it only takes 25 electrostatic volts to irreparably damage an integrated circuit. Ken Michaels | Sep 01, 1999Electrostatic discharge (ESD) has been around since the beginning of time. However, this natural phenomenon has only become an issue with the widespread use of solid-state electronics. Sources of ESDAll materials (insulators and conductors alike) are sources of ESD. They are lumped together in what is known as the triboelectric series, which defines the materials associated with positive or negative charges. Positive charges accumulate predominantly on human skin or animal fur. Negative charges are more common to synthetic materials such as Styrofoam or plastic cups. The amount of electrostatic charge that can accumulate on any item is dependent on its capacity to store a charge. For example, the human body can store a charge equal to 250 picofarads."

"text": "\"Frequently Asked Questions about ESD-Safe™ Tapes and Label Materials What is ESD? It stands for electrostatic discharge. ESD occurs when a static charge is released, in the form of electrical current, into a static sensitive device. If the charge exceeds the specified thresholds of the device, immediate and/or latent damage can occur. How does electrostatic charge occur? Electrostatic charge occurs when two dissimilar surfaces come in contact with one another and are subsequently separated (e.g. removing a liner from a label or tape) or when a charged insulator (e.g. label or tape that has had its liner removed) is brought in close proximity with an electrical device causing charge polarization on the device. What is the standard for qualifying ESD products and manufacturing? ANSI/ESD S20.20 standard and its international equivalent IEC 61340 define the ESD control plan. Electronics manufacturers (OEMS, converters, EMS, CM, ODM, etc. ), must have an S20.20 qualified control plan in place to manufacture static sensitive devices."

These files and their attributes are defined in the File Control Table (FCT) and in the VSAM file catalog. VSAM file attributes include: Organization of the data, for example, key-sequenced dataset (KSDS)Format of the records: fixed or variable length Maximum record size Alternate indexes for the KSDS file Automated recovery Several of these attributes, such as the file organization, record format, record size, and alternate indexes, are structural and are determined by the application. Other attributes, such as automated recovery, spanned files, and the placement of the files on specific file systems for optimal performance, are optional and are determined by the operational needs of the host system. You must carefully consider and plan these configuration decisions. This chapter provides information to assist you in making your configuration decisions, as well as instructions on populating the VSAM catalog and on managing the VSAM files and their attributes. It includes the following topics: VSAM File Organization Calculating VSAM File Sizes Managing the VSAM Catalog Manipulating VSAM Files Maintaining VSAM File Integrity Sun MTP Recovery Using VSAM File Caching VSAM File Organization The structural attributes of a VSAM file are: Record length Access method KSDS (key-sequenced). KSDS file attributes include key position and key length ESDS (entry-sequenced)RRDS (relative record)Record format (fixed or variable length)File name Environment: the directory where the file resides (such as $KIXDATA )Sun MTP maintains VSAM data in one or more files. Each RRDS and ESDS file corresponds to a single physical file. Each KSDS and alternate index file corresponds to two to nine physical files."

"text": "\"Controlling Static Generation In Carpets June, 1993 By: Darryl D. Allen, Manager Engineering, Desco Industries Inc., Canton, MAStatic charges that generate from floors and carpets are not only an annoying and costly occurrence for office and factory employers, but can be easily controlled with existing carpets and tile floors. What is static Electricity? Static electricity is an electrical charge that is at rest, as opposed to electricity in motion or current electricity. Static charges can be generated by either friction or induction. Typical examples are the Wimshurst machine that uses friction and the Van de Graaff generator using electrostatic induction. How is it generated? The most common generation of static charge is the triboelectric charge or the friction electricity developed when rubbing together and then separating two masses. For example, when two blocks are rubbed together and then separated, a triboelectric charge is developed on each block. The two blocks will have opposite polarities; one will be negatively charged and the other will be positively charged. Static Generation from carpet: When a person walks across a carpeted or tile floor, a triboelectric charge builds up in the body due to the friction between the shoes and floor material."

Contents [ show]History Edit Background Edit David is an intelligent MIT graduate and an environmentalist, but considerably unambitious and didn't want to do as much as he is really capable of, which is an attitude that led his wife Constance Spano to divorce him before she worked in the White House while he maintained a simple job at a cable company - in which his father Julius calls him, a \"\"cable repairman\"\". Despite the divorce, David retained his feelings for Constance and continued wearing his wedding ring. During an incident when he first met the soon-to-be president Thomas Whitmore, David was involved in a physical altercation with Whitmore after mistakenly assuming Constance was having an affair with him. War of 1996 Edit David was summoned by his boss Marty Gilbert to help his cable company that has been suffering from an unknown interference that has been disrupting television and satellite transmissions across the entire northern hemisphere. He discovered a signal embedded into the satellite feed which David was able to decode the signal and learning that it is recycling itself to nothing."

If they then touch delicate components on a motherboard, the spark could fry a component, destroying the motherboard. Antistatic mats help prevent static build up. Antistatic wrist straps direct any body static directly to earth before any damage can occur. Touching a water pipe or a computer's chassis has the same affect of getting rid of body static. If children are jumping up and down on a (nylon) trampoline, you will get a spark (static) if they touch you - quite a party trick, especially if the children's hair is also standing up - a sure sign of static electricity!1 person found this useful Was this answer useful?

"text": "How to Create Your Own Windows 10 ISO / DVD - The Alternate, Faster Way GODownload Windows 10 ESDs, convert and burn them to DVDs Jul 29, 2015 11:01 GMT · By Ionut Arghire · Share: Windows 10 has started rolling out around the world today, and many of you are undoubtedly eagerly waiting to give it a try, especially with Microsoft offering it as a free upgrade for all devices running Windows 7 or Windows 8.1. The latest operating system iteration from the Redmond-based company already looks like a promising upgrade for all eligible users, and Microsoft has ensured that anyone can download and install it without any issue with the release of a free upgrade utility, the Media Creation Tool. Grabbing Windows 10 with the help of this application is as easy as can be, given that it does all the necessary work. However, you might find it a bit slow even on fast Internet connections, not to mention that you won't be able to download multiple images at the same time. Thus, some of you will certainly want to take the matter into your own hands, download Windows 10 directly from the Internet, and install it at your own pace. The only issue is the fact that the OS comes in the form of ESD files, and operating them might not be as easy as one would expect. Windows 10 RTM is up for grabs now Available as a pre-release for almost a year now, Windows 10 can be downloaded from Softpedia at higher speeds than those offered by the Media Creation Tool if a tool such as Internet Download Manager is used (the ESD files are downloaded directly from Microsoft). Microsoft has already revealed that Windows 10 will be available in multiple editions, each targeted at a particular market segment, and some of you might want to try more than a single version before deciding which would be suitable for your needs. For everyday consumers, Microsoft announced Windows 10 Home, which would be running on desktops, laptops, and 2-in-1 computers. Next, there's Windows 10 Pro, designed mainly for small businesses, followed by Windows 10 Enterprise, which should be suitable for medium and large companies."

( Courtesy image)PRINT | E-MAILJOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO - LACKLAND, Texas (AFNS) --The Air Force Enterprise Service Desk is going virtual, and Joint Base San Antonio - Lackland will be the first to see it as it rolls out across the Air Force, starting the end of August. Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Welsh has challenged every Airman to constantly look for smarter ways to do business. The personnel of the 67th Cyberspace Wing at Joint Base San Antonio - Lackland, Texas, are meeting that challenge with their implementation of innovative processes targeting Air Force-wide network customer service, including the new virtual Enterprise Service Desk (v ESD). Users who experienced account or network problems over the last few years have called a central customer service hub. With a customer base of over 650,000 people, the ESD's automated phone system had been significantly overburdened, which led to a cascade of inefficiencies. Not immune to the fiscal challenges so familiar across the Air Force, the 67th CW advanced on a new approach to customer service, necessary to solve this complex problem. \"\" At times, the average call wait time can approach 27 minutes,\"\" said Col. Chad Raduege, commander of the 690th Cyberspace Operations Group, in an interview in March 2014. \"\" That's a 27-minute wait to tell an ESD technician that you have a problem."

"text": "\"Difference between Anti-Static, Dissipative, Conductive, and Insulative Static Electricity: As the name implies, static electricity is electricity at rest. The electrical charge is the transference of electrons that occurs when there is sliding, rubbing, or separating of a material, which is a generator of electrostatic voltages. For example: plastics, fiber glass, rubber, textiles, ect. Under the right conditions, this induced charge can reach 30,000 to 40,000 volts. When this happens to an insulating material, like plastic, the charge tends to remain in the localized area of contact. This electrostatic voltage may then discharge via an arc or spark when the plastic material comes in contact with a body at a sufficiently different potential, such as a person or microcircuit. If Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) occurs to a person, the results may range anywhere from a mild to a painful shock. Extreme cases of ESD, or Arc Flash, can even result in loss of life. These types of sparks are especially dangerous in environments that may contain flammable liquids, solids or gasses, such as a hospital operating room or explosive device assembly. Some micro-electronic parts can be destroyed or damaged by ESD as low as 20 volts."

However, this natural phenomenon has only become an issue with the widespread use of solid-state electronics. Sources of ESDAll materials (insulators and conductors alike) are sources of ESD. They are lumped together in what is known as the triboelectric series, which defines the materials associated with positive or negative charges. Positive charges accumulate predominantly on human skin or animal fur. Negative charges are more common to synthetic materials such as Styrofoam or plastic cups. The amount of electrostatic charge that can accumulate on any item is dependent on its capacity to store a charge. For example, the human body can store a charge equal to 250 picofarads."

When food and fluids leave the mouth, they pass through the throat. Swallowing of food and fluids begins voluntarily and continues automatically. A small muscular flap (epiglottis) closes to prevent food and fluids from going down the windpipe (trachea) toward the lungs. The back portion of the roof of the mouth (soft palate) lifts to prevent food and fluids from going up the nose. The uvula, a small flap attached to the soft palate, helps prevent fluids from passing upward into the nasal cavity. The Digestive System The esophagus is a thin-walled, muscular channel lined with mucous membranes that connects the throat with the stomach. Food and fluids are propelled through the esophagus not only by gravity but also by waves of rhythmic muscular contractions called peristalsis."

Normal, safe, aspiration free swallowing can be affected by: Loss of salivary flow Mucosal injury Muscular weakness Sensory deficits Connective tissue fibrosis Bony and soft tissue masses Respiratory disorders Neural pathway disorders Top Introduction Normal deglutition requires a complex and coordinated interaction of many head and neck structures. Abnormalities and disorders of oropharyngeal anatomy and physiology at any level will lead to some perceptible dysphagia. Normal human swallow is a combination of volitional events and involuntary reflexes. This review discusses several of the diseases and disorders of the head and neck that can affect swallow function. The most clinically relevant method of organization is by disease category, allowing for a more global characterization of the dysphagia induced by each disorder. Other resources are provided for an in-depth understanding of the normal anatomy and physiologic events that occur during a normal swallow. Specifically, this review addresses anatomic abnormalities, including congenital, postsurgical, or tumor-related changes in oropharyngeal anatomy; neurologic and neuromotor abnormalities that interfere with both the reflexive and voluntary motor functions required for a normal oropharyngeal swallow; infectious diseases resulting in oropharyngeal dysphagia; iatrogenic, pharmacologic, and psychiatric causes of dysphagia; and gastroesophageal reflux disease and its probable role in oropharyngeal dysphagia ( Table 1 ). Table 1: Major categories of head and neck disorders causing dysphagia Full size table Top Anatomic Abnormalities Inducing Head and Neck Swallowing Disorders Anatomic abnormalities in the head and neck resulting in dysphagia can be grouped into three categories: congenital abnormalities, traumatic injuries, and surgical insults. The primary congenital abnormalities associated with dysphagia are listed in Table 2."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Voice prosthesis A voice prosthesis ( plural prostheses) is an artificial device, usually made of silicone that is used in conjunction with voice therapy to help laryngectomized patients to speak. During a total laryngectomy, the entire voice box ( larynx) is removed and the windpipe ( trachea) and food pipe ( esophagus) are separated from each other. During this operation an opening between the food pipe and the windpipe can be created (primary puncture). This opening can also be created at a later time (secondary puncture). This opening is called a tracheo-esophageal puncture (TE puncture). The voice prosthesis is placed in this opening. Then, it becomes possible to speak by occluding the stoma and blowing the air from the lungs through the inside of the voice prosthesis and through the throat, creating a voice sound, which is called tracheo-esophageal speech. The back end of the prosthesis sits at the food pipe. To avoid food, drinks, or saliva from coming through the prosthesis and into the lungs, the prosthesis has a small flap at the back. There are two ways of inserting the voice prosthesis: through the mouth and throat (retrograde manner) with the help of a guide wire, or directly through the tracheostoma (anterograde) manner."

"text": "\"Non Surgical Closure of Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO)Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) is a congenital heart defect, characterized by incomplete closure of the foramen ovale, an opening in the septum (wall) between the right and left upper chambers of the heart. The foramen ovale allows blood to bypass the fetal lungs. Normally the opening closes during infancy, but if it does not close it is called a patent foramen ovale. This type of defect generally works like a flap valve, opening up when the pressure inside the chest increases by coughing, sneezing or straining during a bowel movement. This pressure can open the defect, allowing blood to pass from the right atrium to the left atrium. If there is a clot in the blood, it can cross over to the left atria and can lodge in the brain causing a stroke or in the heart causing a heart attack. A patent foramen ovale usually causes no signs or symptoms and is not treated unless the child or adult has symptoms of transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke. A PFO can be detected with an echocardiography, a chest X-ray and Cardiac MRI scan. Blood thinning medications may be used for a patient with a PFO who have had a stroke to reduce the risk of blood clot formation. Nonsurgical (catheter based) closure of the hole is an alternative for individuals unable to take blood-thinning medications or those who have a second stroke while on medications."

"text": "\"Your Digestive System & How it Works What is the digestive system? The digestive system is made up of the gastrointestinal tract—also called the GI tract or digestive tract—and the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. The GI tract is a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus. The hollow organs that make up the GI tract are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus. The liver, pancreas, and gallbladder are the solid organs of the digestive system. The small intestine has three parts. The first part is called the duodenum. The jejunum is in the middle and the ileum is at the end. The large intestine includes the appendix, cecum, colon, and rectum. The appendix is a finger-shaped pouch attached to the cecum."

"text": "\"The Digestive Tract: Mouth to the Stomach Prev NEXTLet's say you've picked up a ham and cheese sandwich for lunch. Before you even take a bite, your nose smells it and signals the brain, which sends word to the nerves controlling your mouth's salivary (spit) glands. Once the glands have their cue, they get busy secreting juices, making your mouth water. When you bite into the sandwich, the salivary glands get even more excited and secrete more saliva, making the food moister and easier to swallow. Before the sandwich even leaves your mouth, an enzyme in your saliva called amylase begins to break down the carbohydrates in the bread. When you swallow, the sandwich pieces slide down your pharynx, also known as the throat. They then come to a fork in the road: One pathway is the esophagus, which leads to the stomach, and the other follows the trachea, which leads to the lungs. Of course, the correct path is through the esophagus, but sometimes food can take a careless detour. So when we say something went down the \"\"wrong pipe,\"\" it means it went through the trachea, usually because you were breathing or laughing when you swallowed. Not to worry, this rarely happens -- the act of swallowing closes the epiglottis, a flexible flap over the trachea."

"text": "Ten Foods to Avoid When You Have Acid Reflux Date: November 22, 2017Share What Causes Acid Reflux? Your stomach produces acid to help digest food. The food passes from your esophagus into your stomach, after which a flap (called the lower esophageal sphincter muscle) closes and separates the stomach from the esophagus. This flap is only meant to open while swallowing and belching. However, there are multiple ways in which this flap opens when it is not meant to. Increased pressure in the stomach (intra-abdominal pressure) forces the esophageal flap to open and pushes stomach contents, including acid, into your esophagus. Foods that alter the functionality of the flap, either through relaxation or damage to cells, also lead to acid escaping from the stomach into the esophagus. The stomach acid in your esophagus then causes the burning sensation that is one of the many symptoms of acid reflux. Do remember that the right solution to acid reflux is to increase the quality of the stomach acid, so that you are able to digest all foods well. That often requires working with a holistic practitioner to identify which parts of the digestion are broken."

Oxygen, anesthetics, or other gaseous medications can be delivered through the tube. Purpose Specifically, endotracheal intubation is used for the following conditions:respiratory arrestrespiratory failureairway obstructionneed for prolonged ventilatory support Class III or IV hemorrhage with poor perfusionsevere flail chest or pulmonary contusionmultiple trauma, head injury and abnormal mental statusinhalation injury with erythema/edema of the vocal cordsprotection from aspiration Description To begin the procedure, an anesthesiologist opens the patient's mouth by separating the lips and pulling on the upper jaw with the index finger. Holding a laryngoscope in the left hand, he or she inserts it into the mouth of the patient with the blade directed to the right tonsil. Once the right tonsil is reached, the laryngoscope is swept to the midline, keeping the tongue on the left to bring the epiglottis into view. The laryngoscope blade is then advanced until it reaches the angle between the base of the tongue and the epiglottis. Next, the laryngoscope is lifted upwards towards the chest and away from the nose to bring the vocal cords into view. Often an assistant has to press on the trachea to provide a direct view of the larynx. The anesthesiologist then takes the endotracheal tube, made of flexible plastic, in the right hand and starts inserting it through the mouth opening. The tube is inserted through the cords to the point that the cuff rests just below the cords."

take note of the prolapsed third eyelid (white membrane covering the cat's right eye); this problem usually resolves in about 30 days The photo below was taken 24 hours after surgery demonstrating that the Horner's syndrome has almost completely resolved (minor prolapse of the third eyelid and slightly smaller pupil in the right eye)Dogs Same potential complications as cats, but Horner's syndrome is uncommon Dogs that already have vestibular signs, such as a head tilt may have permanent damage to the balance organ, and surgery may not correct this problem; the goal of this surgery is to relieve the infection so that the equilibrium (sense of balance) does not get so bad that the dog is unable to walk Frequently Asked Questions After Surgery When should my dog have the first bowel movement after surgery? Many dogs will not have a bowel movement for the first 4 to 5 days after surgery Reasons that a dog will not have regular bowel movements after surgery include: The dog has been fasted prior to surgery Dogs do not eat well during the hospital stay They frequently do not eat well when they go home They are fed highly digestible food that produces little stool Pain medication that contain narcotics (such as morphine, fentanyl patches, and tramadol) can be constipating If a pet does not have a bowel movement on the 5th day of being home, a stool softener such as metamucil can be fed Dose of metamucil is 1 tsp per 25 Kg mixed in with each meal (canned dog food); feed immediately after mixing, as the metamucil will gel the food and may make it less palatable My pet had surgery and will not eat. What can be done? Dogs Most pets will not eat their regular dog food after surgery, especially if it is kibble. Offer a cooked diet having a 1:1 ratio of a protein source and carbohydrate source. The protein source can be any meat (example: chicken breast, turkey breast, lean hamburger) that is low in fat and should be cooked (drain off all fat after the meat has been cooked). The carbohydrate can be pasta, potato or white rice. Try canned dog food; to enhance the flavor sprinkle a very small amount of garlic powder or chicken or beef broth (Chicken-in-a- Mug TM or Beef-in-a-Mug TM products)Try Gerber strained meats for babies such as the chicken, beef, turkey, or veal Try Hill's A/D diet available at most veterinary hospitals Hand feeding: place a small amount of food in the mouth so that your dog gets the flavor Warm the food slightly in a microwave, as the food will be more aromatic; stir the food before feeding and test the temperature on the bottom side of your wrist; it should only be luke warm. Remember that most pets will not eat the first day or two after they get home from surgery Cats Offer smelly foods that contain fish such as tuna or smelly cat foods Try Gerber strained meats for babies such as the chicken, beef, turkey or veal Hand feeding: with your finger place a small amount of food on the roof of your cat's mouth; use a syringe to get soft food into the mouth Warm the food slightly in a microwave as the food will be more aromatic; remember to stir the food before feeding and test the temperature; it should be only luke-warm Some cats will only eat dry food, try kibble if your cat normally has been fed that food Petting and stroking your cat frequently will help to stimulate appetite Remember that most pets will not eat the first day or two after they get home from surgery Appetite stimulants such as cyproheptadine may be helpful If your cat refuses to eat anything for 7 days a stomach tube or nasogastric tube should be placed to provide nutrition so that a serious liver problem (hepatic lipidosis) does not develop My pet is vomiting."

"text": "Estrogen blockers are chemical compounds that block the actions of estrogen. These drugs can work in a number of different ways, and they are used in several different applications, including in breast cancer treatment, where they are used to slow the growth of the tumor or to prevent recurrence. As with other medications that interact with hormones in the body, these medications should be used under the supervision of a healthcare professional. There are a number of different kinds of estrogen blockers. Aromatase inhibitors, including vorozole, testolactone, and formestane, actually block the production of estrogen. Selective estrogen receptor modulators, such as tamoxifen, clomifene, and arzooxifene, are designed to block estrogen receptors, behaving slightly differently in different kinds of tissue. Antiestrogens also act to block estrogen receptors. In the treatment of cancers, these drugs are used to slow the progress of the cancer. In the case of selective estrogen receptor modulators, they can also target specific estrogen receptors to deliver targeted therapy. Blockers, including clomiphene, are also sometimes used in infertility treatment, as they can assist some women who are having difficulty getting pregnant."

Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Prohormones and Steroids Supplementing with prohormones, or the illegal form known as anabolic steroids, can cause many serious side effects. Prohormones are chemicals that convert to testosterone or testosterone-like analogues in the body. Examples of prohormones are TREN, androstenedione and DHEA. Increasing testosterone levels by unnatural means can throw off the delicate hormonal balance of the body. Side effects may include hair loss, gynecomastia (male breast enlargement), acne, hypertension, testicular atrophy, prostate enlargement, liver damage and loss of libido. Of all the testosterone supplements, prohormones have the most serious side effects. However, DHEA can be a useful hormone replacement supplement for men experiencing andropause, or age-related low testosterone levels."

Healthy metabolism of estrogens optimizes the ratio of estrogen metabolites that is crucial for breast 3, uterine 4, cervical 5, and prostate 6 health.†In short, DIM increases the good estrogens, and decreases the bad estrogens. Some refer to this action as being an estrogen \"\"blocker\"\" or \"\"metabolizer.\"\" Women and men also use DIM as an integral part of successful weight management programs, as discussed further below. DIM™ is a naturally occurring phytonutrient that is found in cruciferous vegetables. Though discovered many years ago, the connection between plant-derived dietary ingredients and estrogen metabolism are just now beginning to be understood. Research has shown that DIM has the ability to act as an estrogen balancer (sometimes referred to as an estrogen blocker) in both women and men.† It can be used by those addressing estrogen dominant conditions including uterine fibroids, fibrocystic breasts, and other hormone related conditions.†DIM in its pure crystalline form requires an absorption-enhanced delivery system for use in dietary supplements. Therefore, Energetic Nutrition has chosen to use Dr. Michael Zeligs' Bio Response DIM under the name DIMPRO with a patented absorption-enhanced formula in order to bring you the highest quality product available on the market. Dr. Zeligs not only suggests DIM for balancing women's hormones, but also recommends DIM for the symptoms of hormonal imbalance in men, such as weight gain, hair loss, and prostate enlargement. Balancing hormones can help restore wellness and vitality."

"text": "\"When a female is sexually aroused, the vagina undergoes several physical changes to prepare the female's body for sexual intercourse. One of the most noticeable changes is an increase in vaginal secretions. The purpose of these secretions is to lubricate the vaginal canal and vaginal opening which makes penetration easier by decreasing friction and thereby irritation. 1 As a female becomes sexually aroused, her heart rate quickens and her blood pressure increases which is accompanied by greater blood flow to the genitals. Increased blood flow results in vasocongestion, or the swelling of body tissue caused by increased blood flow and blood pressure. 2 The vaginal tissue itself does not contain glands that secrete fluid; however, increased blood pressure in vaginal tissue forces liquid from the blood to seep through the vaginal wall. 3 This fluid is called vaginal transudate. Using a camera inserted internally, this fluid can be seen as droplets on the vaginal wall that coalesce to become a film. Vaginal transudate is clear and has a slippery, smooth quality. 2 It is primarily responsible for increased wetness during arousal."

A functional ovarian cyst is formed when the follicle does NOT release its egg, and the follicle continues to grow forming a cyst. An ovarian cyst can also be formed even if the follicle releases the egg, the hole where the egg is released closes up, the corpus luteum is NOT formed, and the cyst continues to grow. It is now believed that xenoestrogens may contribute to ovarian cysts.by Elizabeth Smith, M. D. Normal Cycle Let us review how a normal menstrual cycle occurs. The hypothalamus is a portion of the brain in the lower portion of the brain. The pituitary gland is even lower and underneath the brain.1. Low levels of estrogen and progesterone stimulate the hypothalamus to send slow pulses of gonadatropin-releasing hormone (Gn RH) to the pituitary gland.2. Stimulated by slow pulses of Gn RH, the pituitary sends follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) to the ovary, which initiates the maturation of ova in follicles. The follicles then produce estrogen.3. In about 10 days, the high estrogen level signals the hypothalamus to produce fast pulses Gn RH."

"text": "PCOS and Excess Luteinizing Hormone (LH)0Overview What is PCOS? The Polycystic Ovary Syndrome ( PCOS ) is a disease of the female sexual sphere which is characterized by the violation of the development of female sexual hormones, increase in the ovary sizes with the appearance of cysts, impairments of a menstrual cycle, infertility, and other symptoms. The reasons for the development of PCOS are unknown at present; however, it is supposed that a certain role in the development of this disease is played by hereditary factors, traumas, inflammatory diseases of genitals, etc. The PCOS diagnostics is based on the definition of characteristic symptoms, ovary ultrasound check-up, research of the level of hormones in blood, etc. The PCOS treatment depends on the age, weight, desires of a woman to become pregnant, and other factors; it also includes the normalization of body weight, hormonal or surgical treatment. Causes Why does PCOS develop? The development of female sex hormones (progesterone and estrogen) in the female organism is under hypophyseal control: Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone ( LH ) . During the menstrual cycle, the level of these hormones is not identical. PCOS women have an increased level of LH and a decreased level of FSH, which leads to the disorders in the regulation of the menstrual cycle. The increased level of LH leads to the development of surplus of man’s sexual hormones (androgens) and estrogen in the female organism."

"title": "https://www.anabolicmen.com/dihydrotestosterone/\nDihydrotestosterone: 20 Ways to Increase DHT and 5-a Reductase Levels Naturally",
"text": "338SHARESFacebook Twitter Google NOTE: Curious about Natural DHT Optimization? Then Check out This A-Z DHT Boosting Program. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) optimization is a controversially controversial topic among men. Some say that it’s a “bad hormone” that causes hair loss and prostate enlargement, while others praise it for being the ultimate male hormone, since it’s significantly more potent than its little brother; testosterone. In fact, DHT has 2-3 times higher affinity to the androgen receptors and it’s known to be bound and active in the receptor sites for five times longer than testosterone. Dihydrotestosterone also has much higher androgenic activity than testosterone, whereas testosterone on the other hand has significantly higher anabolic (muscle building) activity than that of DHT. While it’s known that overly high DHT levels – in combination with too high estrogen and the male-pattern baldness gene – are associated with scalp hair loss, it’s also known that in men with no MPB-gene, DHT levels at the top of the reference ranges are not associated with any rate of increased hair-loss ( this study of 316 men actually showed that high DHT was associated with 35% LOWER risk of developing baldness ). Another claimed side-effect of high DHT hormone levels is prostate enlargement (BPH), and while some studies have linked high dihydrotestosterone levels to that condition, it must also be noted that many have not found any correlation between DHT and prostate enlargement markers ( even 10-fold increases in DHT were noted to have no significant effect on prostate size in this study ). Bottom line on side-effects: If you are having prostate issues and are going bald, its likely that you possess the genotype for those conditions, and that overly high DHT levels can in some (but not all) cases aggravate them. The gene explanation also makes sense, if you look at the studies which often show extreme variances between the effects of androgens on hair loss and prostate enlargement."

Being well lubricated can decrease the risk of vaginal tears and irritation, which can, in turn, reduce your risk of contracting a sexually transmitted infection (STI). If you're using a condom, lube can also help cut down on the risk that the condom will break. With so many lubricants on the market, however, how do you know which one to choose? Water-Based Lubricants Water-based lubricants are usually the best option, especially if you're using a condom and/or are prone to yeast infections. Silicone-based lubricants are also okay to use with condoms. People sometimes choose a silicone-based lubricant over water-based options because they can be more slippery and also last longer, especially in the bath or shower. They can be more expensive, though, and can also break down sex toys made with silicone. Oil-Based Lubricants These are problematic and must never be used with latex condoms. The oil breaks down the latex and makes the condoms easier to break."

Rosacea (rose- ay -shah) is a common, long-lasting skin condition that causes inflammation and redness of the face. It usually starts with redness on the cheeks and nose, and also can affect the forehead and chin. The late comedian W. C. Fields, who was known for his wicked wit and red, bulbous nose, had an advanced case of rosacea. Rosacea usually affects fair-skinned adults between ages 30 and 50 who have \"\"peaches and cream\"\" complexions and a history of blushing easily. Women develop rosacea more often than men, but men are more apt to develop lumpy, enlarged noses, a condition called rhinophyma. Rosacea often is mistaken for sunburn and often goes undiagnosed. It is a very treatable condition. Symptoms There are four progressive stages of rosacea. First stage — Flushing and intermittent facial redness Second stage — Persistent redness on the cheeks, nose, chin or forehead Third stage — Small, pus-colored or red bumps, along with tiny blood vessels that appear as red, thin lines called telangiectasias Fourth stage — Bumps and skin thickening of the nose Here's a detailed look at the most common symptoms of rosacea: Redness — Facial skin redness looks like a sunburn or blush."

While the tendency to develop high triglyceride levels can be inherited, triglyceride levels can also rise due to medical conditions such as diabetes, obesity and liver disease. Certain types of medications also can raise triglyceride levels over the normal limit of 150 milligrams per deciliter (mg/d L). Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Antipsychotics Antipsychotic medications are given to treat disorders such as bipolar disease and schizophrenia. Some antipsychotic medications can raise triglyceride levels, particularly medications classed as atypical, which includes clozapine (Clozaril) and olanzapine (Zyprexa), Deborah Antai-Otong reported in the April-June 2004 issue of “Perspectives in Psychiatric Care”. Blood Pressure Medications Several types of blood pressure medications can affect triglyceride levels. Diuretics—which decrease the blood volume to lower the amount of blood being forced through the blood vessels—in doses greater than 50 milligrams per day can increase triglyceride levels, the Mayo Clinic reports. This effect may resolve within a year. Beta blockers are another class of medication used to lower blood pressure. Beta blockers work by blocking the effects of epinephrine, also known as adrenaline, on the body."

"title": "http://greatautohelp.com/operation/EVAP-System-Codes-Tests.html\n.",
"text": "The evaporative emission (EVAP) control system limits the fuel vapors from escaping into the atmosphere. The EVAP transfers the fuel vapors from the sealed fuel tank to an activated carbon storage device, the EVAP canister. The EVAP canister stores the vapors until the engine is able to use the extra fuel vapor. When the engine is able to use the extra fuel vapor, the intake air flow purges the fuel vapor from the carbon element and then the normal combustion process consumes the fuel vapor. The system is required in order to detect the evaporative fuel system leaks as small as 0.040 inch between the fuel filler cap and the EVAP canister purge valve. The system can test the evaporative system integrity by applying a vacuum signal, ported or manifold, to the fuel tank in order to create a small vacuum. The powertrain control module (PCM) then monitors the ability of the system to maintain the vacuum. If the vacuum remains for a specified period of time, then there are no evaporative leaks, and a PASS is reported by the PCM. If there is a leak, the system either will not achieve a vacuum, or a vacuum cannot be maintained. Usually a fault can only be detected after a cold start with a trip of sufficient length and driving conditions to run the needed tests."

EVAP charcoal canisters can contaminate the system causing flow and vent issues. Sometimes problems with venting can make it almost impossible to fill up at the gas pump. A very frustrating ordeal at the pump is to have the pump shut-off while putting gas in BEFORE the tank is full. Some vehicles even have the fuel splash back out due to improper vent tube operation. This car repair article points out several things to look for when charcoal from an EVAP canister has broken loose and has entered the EVAP lines causing a blockage. EVAP system faults are a leading cause of CEL’s (Check Engine Lights) to come on, i.e. Low Purge Flow ( Code P0497). Out of all of the EVAP system faults, LEAKS are the most common cause of problems.

Post a comment Comments (6) Print The 2011 Accord L4 four-door, from VIN 1HGCP2…BA033985 through 1HGCP2…BA056601; and 2011 Accord L4 two-door, from VIN 1HGCS1…BA004581 through 1HGCS1…BA007349, may have one or more of the following symptoms:* A CHECK FUEL CAP message is displayed with the fuel cap properly tightened, and without pending DTC (s) P0455 (EVAP system large leak detected) and/or P0456 (EVAP system very small leak detected) stored. * The MIL is on with DTC P0497 (EVAP system low purge flow detected) stored. * The MIL is on with DTC P145C (EVAP system purge flow malfunction) stored. The probable cause relates to the EVAP canister purge joint being incorrectly manufactured with a flashing inside that restricts purge joint flow. The corrective action requires inspection of the EVAP canister purge joint and replacement if needed. The replacement purge joint is available as P/N 36166-R40-A01. PROCEDURE1. Locate the EVAP canister purge joint next to the cylinder head cover. Using a flashlight and inspection mirror, look for the die number, which is stamped on the back of the EVAP canister purge joint’s mount. If the die number is a “1,” proceed to Step 2."

"text": "Challenger 2008-2010EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM INTEGRITY MONITOROPERATIONThe ESIM (Evaporative System Integrity Monitor) is very similar to the earlier NVLD (Natural Vacuum Leak Detection) system. However, the design of the ESIM has been simplified and unlike the NVLD the ESIM does not require a solenoid. The ESIM mounts directly to the canister, eliminating the need for a mounting bracket. It is critical that the ESIM is mounted vertically. On vehicles where the canister is mounted on an angle, the ESIM requires an adaptor to maintain a vertical position. When the ESIM is installed vertically, the electrical connector is in the 3 o'clock position. SYSTEM1 - Intake Manifold2 - Throttle Body3 - Purge Solenoid4 - Filter5 - ESIM6 - Vapor Canister7 - Control Valve8 - Fuel Tank9 - Gas Cap The ESIM assembly consists of a housing, a small weight and a large weight that serve as check valves, a diaphragm, a switch and a cover. There is one large weight and one small weight check valve in the ESIM assembly. A seal is attached at the end of each weighted check valve. The large weight check valve seals for pressure."

These common maintenance issues have been vexing drivers for years ( U. S. National Archives, Flickr)Car MD Corporation, makers of a device that plugs into your vehicle and then downloads vehicle repair data (and with that data lets you know what's wrong with your car), conducted a study and compiled the findings into what they called their Vehicle Health Index. Among the findings of the study were the top five most common repairs you can avoid through proper maintenance. 1. Engine Misfire Each spark-plug on your car is electrically timed to fire at a precise instant in order to deliver the engine's specified output. If the spark fires at the incorrect time or not at all, it is considered a misfire. Misfiring of a cylinder can happen for numerous reasons. Here are the most common causes and related costs of the misfire condition: • Carbon or oil-fouled sparkplugs: $100 to $300 depending on cost of plugs and labor to replace. ( Bear in mind that oil or carbon-fouled plugs are the result of a deeper problem with the engine and to get to the bottom of such a case will cost more time and money to fix). • Bad spark-plug wires: $100 to $300 depending on cost of parts and labor to replace. • Bad fuel delivery: $100 to $1000 depending on cause of fuel delivery problem: bad injectors, cracked intake plenum, new injector driver or flash programming of ECM ( Engine Control Module) needed. •"

"text": "Vehicles Car Parts & Maintenance Q: What Is the Function of a Charcoal Canister? A: Quick Answer A charcoal canister captures potentially harmful emissions from a car’s engine and prevents them from being released into the atmosphere. A charcoal canister, also known as a vapor canister, is the part of a car’s evaporation control system that is designed to prevent the release of volatile organic compounds that escape from a car’s fuel system and engine. Continue Reading Keep Learning How Does a Purge Valve Work in an EVAP System? What Does an EVAP Canister Vent Control Valve Do? What Is the EVAP Canister Vent Control Valve? Full Answer Charcoal pellets in the canister absorb the harmful fumes emanating from the car’s fuel system and store them until the engine burns them when it is running. The canister is normally black and is placed in one of the far corners of the engine compartment. However, some car manufacturers mount the canister closer to the fuel tank so as to maximize efficiency. Evaporation control systems in cars were introduced in the 1960’s and their initial purpose was to absorb crankcase fumes and prevent them from venting out into the atmosphere via road draft tubes that were in use at the time."

"text": "EVAP Monitor The Evaporated Emissions system is designed to prevent the vehicle fuel system from emitting unburned hydrocarbons to atmosphere. It does this by the simple expedient of subjecting the petrol tank to vacuum through a carbon vapour store, which collects the evaporated fuel and stores it. At suitable moments the PCM opens the EVAP store to the inlet manifold which draws the fuel into the engine and uses it in combustion. The owner confirms that the EVAP is working every time he drives to a service station and opens the fuel cap to fill up. The hiss of released vacuum is caused by the EVAP. Several different systems exist in OBD2, but we shall concentrate on the version used on the Scorpio. The EVAP system has its own Electronic Vacuum Control valve, similar to that used on the EGR system, built into the Canister Purge Valve CANP, ) mounted down on the offside engine bay. This connects a pipe to the EVAP Canister, a plastic container mounted near the petrol tank. The purpose of this valve is to open the EVAP store to inlet vacuum and hence purge it of fuel, commanded by the PCM.___________________________________________________MONITOR CONDITIONSThe following conditions must be met for the EVAP monitor to run:"

When this occurs, the system stores a diagnostic trouble code or DTC in memory and the check engine light comes on. The cause could be as simple as a loose fuel cap. Many wonder why a loose fuel cap causes a check engine light. The evaporative emissions system The fuel cap is a critical component in a very complex evaporative emissions system. Fuel systems produce fumes, as vapor. When we drive our automobiles, the vapors collect in the fuel tank. If we do not remove and destroy these fumes, they could enter the passenger compartment or the atmosphere. To prevent this, an evaporative emissions system contains, removes and disposes of the vapors. Another function provided by the evaporative emissions system is as a vent to the fuel tank."

It is given in fulfillment of a vow or in gratitude or devotion. Ex-votos are placed in a church or chapel where the worshiper seeks grace or wishes to give thanks. The destinations of pilgrimages often include shrines decorated with ex-votos. Ex-votos can take a wide variety of forms. They are not only intended for the helping figure, but also as a testimony to later visitors of the received help. As such they may include texts explaining a miracle attributed to the helper, or symbols such as a painted or modeled reproduction of a miraculously healed body part, or a directly related item such as a crutch given by a person formerly lame. There are places where a very old tradition of depositing ex-votos existed, such as Abydos in ancient Egypt."

"text": "INDY PULSEWhy do we cry? The science of tears Happy, sad, crocodile or from onions, Dr Nick Knight explains the scientific reasons behind sobbing Nick Knight@Dr_Nick Knight Thursday 18 September 2014 13:49 BSTClick to follow Indy/Life With the post-gym sweat still drying on my neck, beer in one hand and screw-driver in other, I felt surprisingly masculine for a boy who moisturises. How is it then, that 30 seconds of a television documentary about a cat befriending an old blind dog, produces that fatal ‘watery glaze’ over my eyes, and suddenly, desperately unable to rescue the situation, I have a tear in my eye. Crying is part of our human emotional package – love it, or hate it. Of course, women are definitely better at it than men, with the number of cries per year estimated at 50 and 10, respectively. It begs the questions how does it all work, and what triggers our waterworks when we are both sad - and happy? Get your tissues at the ready, it’s all about tears this week. Crying can be scientifically defined as the shedding of your tears in response to an emotional state; very different from ‘lacrimation’, which is the non-emotional shedding of tears. With that said, your plumbing apparatus that makes your tears is all the same. So before I dazzle you with the fact that we have more than one type of tear, let us explore the science of tear production and how it links to the emotional centre of your brain."

Solubility, tissue/buffer partition coefficients for bovine sclera and choroid-retinal pigment epithelium (CRPE), and in vitro bovine sclera and sclera-choroid-retinal pigment epithelium (SCRPE) transscleral transport were determined at p H 7.4 for triamcinolone, prednisolone, dexamethasone, fluocinolone acetonide, triamcinolone acetonide, and budesonide in solution. Ex vivo and in vivo transscleral delivery was assessed in Brown Norway rats after posterior subconjunctival injection of a 1 mg/ml suspension of each corticosteroid. Corticosteroid solubility and partition coefficients ranged from ∼17 to 300 μg/ml and 3.0 to 11.4 for sclera and from 7.1 to 35.8 for CRPE, respectively, with the more lipophilic molecules partitioning more into both tissues. Transport across sclera and SCRPE was in the range of 3.9 to 10.7% and 0.3 to 1.8%, respectively, with the transport declining with an increase in lipophilicity. Ex vivo and in vivo transscleral delivery indicated tissue distribution in the order CRPE ≥ sclera > retina > vitreous. Tissue partitioning showed a positive correlation with drug lipophilicity ( R 2 = 0.66–0.96). Ex vivo and in vivo sclera, CRPE, retina, and vitreous tissue levels of all corticosteroids showed strong positive correlation with drug solubility ( R 2 = 0.91–1.0) but not lipophilicity ( R 2 = 0.24–0.41) or tissue partitioning ( R 2 = 0.24–0.46) when delivered as suspensions."

Catalog of the exhibition edited by Elizabeth Carpenter, co-curator with Hayden Herrera. Walker Art Center/DAP,320 pp., $49.95Frida Kahlo was an ironic and devilish person, and so she might be intrigued by the thought that, for this writer, at least, her finest single work is in an outward respect her least typical. Kahlo is known, of course, for her many unsparing self-portraits, images where she can confront us with tears on her cheeks or exhibit herself as a bedridden patient or victim. They present a woman who, facing us as well with her distinctive and unforgettable dark, unbroken, single eyebrow and clear suggestion of a mustache, and often wearing clothes or accompanied by details that are redolent of her native Mexico, exudes a smoldering fury—an expressionist tension that, until recent decades, was rarely encountered in the work of women artists. The Suicide of Dorothy Hale, however, a painting dated 1939 which shows exactly that, a woman killing herself, has a New York City setting and has as its protagonist a formally and elegantly dressed woman who is not remotely like any other figure in the painter’s work. At the traveling Kahlo retrospective currently at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, an exhibition geared to the centennial of her birth, in 1907 (she died in 1954), no other picture had the degree of experimentation, the luminosity, or the graphic clarity of this painting, either. Dorothy Hale was a socialite and something of a friend of Kahlo’s who had lost her husband and become psychologically adrift and financially desperate. She committed suicide by jumping from her apartment in the Hampshire House, on Central Park South, and from the incident Kahlo made a picture that is as witty and ingenious as it is mordant and disturbing."

S. Department of Labor. ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is revising its rule addressing the recording and reporting of occupational injuries and illnesses (29 CFR parts 1904 and 1952), including the forms employers use to record those injuries and illnesses. The revisions to the final rule will produce more useful injury and illness records, collect better information about the incidence of occupational injuries and illnesses on a national basis, promote improved employee awareness and involvement in the recording and reporting of job-related injuries and illnesses, simplify the injury and illness recordkeeping system for employers, and permit increased use of computers and telecommunications technology for OSHA recordkeeping purposes. This rulemaking completes a larger overall effort to revise Part 1904 of Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Two sections of Part 1904 have already been revised in earlier rulemakings. A rule titled Reporting fatalities and multiple hospitalization incidents to OSHA, became effective May 2, 1994 and has been incorporated into this final rule as § 1904.39. A second rule entitled Annual OSHA injury and illness survey of ten or more employers became effective on March 13, 1997 and has been incorporated into this final rule as § 1904.41. The final rule being published today also revises 29 CFR 1952.4, Injury and Illness Recording and Reporting Requirements, which prescribes the recordkeeping and reporting requirements for States that have an occupational safety and health program approved by OSHA under § 18 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (the \"\"Act\"\" or \"\"OSH Act\"\")."

S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce President & CEO Javier Palomarez told POLITICO in an interview. “ I think that we can all rest assured that Hispanics can turn out in record numbers. ”Trump has rankled the Hispanic community from Day One of his presidential run when he called many illegal Mexican immigrants “rapists” and drug peddlers during his rambling announcement speech in June. Since then, he’s driven the GOP field further right on immigration issues, in part with his aggressive proposal to have Mexico pay for a wall along the border with the U. S. and to deport 11.3 million undocumented immigrants in short order. While many activists find his comments downright offensive, they also see an opportunity. Trump has managed to get Latinos engaged with the 2016 race, and activists plan to exploit that to the fullest extent possible. “He really is just outrageous, he’s built his entire campaign on attacking our community and really playing to the worst element of American society,” said José Calderón, president of the Hispanic Federation, a nonprofit membership organization. “ In some ways, he’s helping us out, the base is energized —I think people are really eager to stand up and say this is not who we are and show that through our electoral process."

During his brief but eventful life, Thomas Wolfe traveled the length and breadth of the United States, sailed to Europe on glamorous ships, conversed with literary giants and film stars, and loved a famous, successful woman. His first novel, Look Homeward, Angel, recounted the life of a young man born in western North Carolina, the son of a stonecutter and a woman who ran a boardinghouse. He once said the reason he wrote a book was to forget it. But he never did forget that he was born on October 3, 1900 — to Julia Elizabeth Westall Wolfe, the ambitious wife of a tombstone cutter, William Oliver Wolfe — and grew up in a boardinghouse run by his mother in the mountain town of Asheville, North Carolina.1900-1916 — Carving the Foundation of Life By the time Tom was born his father had begun to realize that his own artistic ambitions would never be fulfilled.

The sweet-natured people…the extraordinary weather …the gorgeous scenery…the great restaurants, shopping, the first-class infrastructure and services…and, of course, the affordability …It’s a city where you can still take a taxi anywhere in town for $1 to $5 and find a menu del dia …usually a four-course meal of soup, salad, meat/rice/vegetables, dessert and beverage…for $1.50 to $2.50. Yes, there are gourmet restaurants where you can spend more but compared to back home, it’s a bargain extraordinaire…Today’s Quito is a world-class metropolis with happy surprises tucked in so many corners. You wouldn’t know that, of course, if you’ve only flown in and out of its international airport. If your only experience of Quito is spending time stalled in traffic on your way out of the city, your opinion may not be high. But spend even a few days getting to know her and I think you’ll agree that Quito is a very special place. Often called the “most beautiful big city in South America” for its location in the palm of a valley cupped between towering Andean peaks, Quito has so many parks and plazas, it’s hard to pick a favorite. The 14,000-acre Parque Metropolitano, bordering the city’s Bellavista neighborhood, is the largest urban park in South America. ( For comparison, New York’s Central Park is just 834 acres.) Hiking here, in the maze of forested paths, is a nature lover’s delight—the air smells of eucalyptus and pine, and from atop the eastern ridge, the views of Quito to the west, and to the east, the valley and volcanoes beyond is something you’ll not soon forget."

"text": "Sacred Heart Ex-Voto, France Transferred from the Wellcome Institute in 1985; 1985.52.33This gilded metal Sacré Coeur or Sacred Heart is a Roman Catholic ex-voto from France. Ex-votos (from the Latin phrase ex-voto suscepto, meaning ‘from the vow made’) were – and still are – carried as devotional objects and to give thanks for granted wishes, prayers and intentions. The cult of the Sacred Heart can be traced to the 11th century. It gained popularity in the 17th century when a French nun named Marguerite-Marie Alacoque experienced visions of Jesus Christ, in which he spoke to her and showed her his heart, entwined with thorns and flames and surmounted by a cross. She devoted herself and her country to the veneration of his heart, and established a Sacred Heart feast day. In 1720, thirty years after Marguerite’s death, the bishop of Marseilles consecrated his diocese to the Sacred Heart in an attempt to spare the district from a plague that was sweeping across Europe. The city quickly recovered from the outbreak, and the Sacred Heart became a popular emblem worn for protection against danger and disease. During the French Revolution (1789–1799), patriotic Catholics again wore the Sacred Heart emblem for protection by stitching it to their clothing. It became the symbol of royalist counter-revolution for those who opposed the Republic. Today, the Sacré Coeur basilica in Paris, completed in 1914, stands over the city as a giant ‘ex-voto’: a monument to Catholicism and a symbol of national identity."

To which the family answers: \"\"Puerto Rican. \"\" The story could substitute a Mexican-American family — or Colombian- or Nicaraguan-American ones for that matter — but the gist would be the same. Many, if not most, Hispanics in the U. S. think of their ethnicity (also known as Latino) not just in cultural terms but in a racial context as well. It's why more than 40% of Hispanics, when asked on the Census form in 2000 to register white or black as their race, wrote in \"\"Other\"\" — and they represented 95% of all the 15.3 million people in the U.

What makes it all the more confusing if not frustrating to them is that Washington continues to insist on those forms that \"\"Hispanic origins are not races.\"\" If the Census Bureau lists Filipino and even Samoan as distinct races, Hispanics wonder why they — the product of half a millennium of New World miscegenation — aren't considered a race too. \"\""

This means, of course, that the person who holds that position must have a security clearance equal to that of other high-ranking officials such as the Chief of Staff, and that they must be someone who doesn’t have something in their past that could be used as potential blackmail material by a foreign government. This is where Rob Porter comes into the picture, and where the incompetence and utter venality of the Trump White House are revealed for all to see. It turns out, in case you haven’t heard, that Rob Porter is apparently a man with serious anger management issues. He has been credibly accused by both of his ex-wives of emotional, verbal, and physical abuse that, at least in the case of his first wife, caused injuries serious enough to give her a black eye. He has also been the subject of at least one, and possibly more, Protective Order issued by courts located in the states he was living at the time based on complaints of such abuse by his former wives, and possibly by a third woman with whom he had a long-term relationship after his second marriage but who has yet to come forward publicly. All of this came to the knowledge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation last year when its agents were involved in conducting the background investigation that is part of the standard application for a security clearance."

"text": "Guide: How Fathers Can Win Child Custody Disclaimer: We cannot respond to every email, because we already receive hundreds regularly on this subject, but we do read them all. Although this guide is geared to fathers, who are usually the most disadvantaged here, it can also be used to some extent by mothers who have been disadvantaged by the system or who are just looking for some guidance. This guide is based on mostly anecdotal evidence from attorneys and others who have gone through the family court system, and should not be construed as legal advice. ( Reprinted from 2006)“ The love of money is the root of all evil ”Introduction So you have a child with a soon-to-be ex-girlfriend or ex-wife, and are wondering what is going to happen to your children. The first thing you need to be aware of is this: The laws and family court system are not set up fairly towards fathers. The laws are set up to award custody to the parent who has had the most involvement so far raising the child, which means the parent who has worked the least – this is virtually always the mother. If you consult a family law attorney, they will tell you the same thing. This usually essentially means that the mother will receive custody of the child, and since child support is mandatory, that you will be paying several hundred dollars in child support to her each month. Now does this make sense? It only makes sense in the past, when you were still together as a couple – in a typical relationship, the mother probably worked less because she stayed at home more with the children or had a less demanding job, therefore it made sense at that time that she was with the children the majority of the time."

"text": "How To Use Common Punctuation Marks A discussion of each mark follows, in alphabetical order by name of mark. Also includes how to divide words; use of numerals/numbers; possessives; and common errors in punctuation. Apostrophe (‘) is used to indicate possession, contractions, and plurals. Possession: The possessive form of singular nouns ends in ‘s, including nouns ending in s, x, z, ch, or sh. For example: a dog’s life, a lass’s smile. The apostrophe follows the s for the possessive of plural nouns except for plurals which do not end in s. For example, you would write: zebras’ stripes, but children’s books. No apostrophe is used for personal pronouns like “hers,” “its,” “theirs;” indefinite pronouns require one: e.g., one’s friend. In compounds, the ‘s is added to the word nearest the object of possession. Joint possession is shown by putting the apostrophe on the last word of a series, e.g., Abelard and Héloise’s child. The apostrophe follows the s of a word with two sibilant sounds; e.g., Kansas’ and Moses’."

"text": "Punctuation Definition of Punctuation Punctuation is a set of marks that regulates and clarifies the meanings of different texts. The term “punctuation” has originated from the Medieval Latin word “ pūnctuātiōn ,” which means markings or signs. The purpose of punctuation is to clarify the meanings of texts by linking or separating words, phrases, or clauses. For example, in the sentence “Yesterday, rain-fog; today, frost-mist. But how fascinating each” ( At the Turn of the Year, by Fiona Macleod), hyphens are used to separate the compound words, while commas are used to separate the phrases. Types of Punctuation There are fifteen basic punctuation marks in English grammar. These include the period, comma, exclamation point, question mark, colon, semicolon, bullet point, dash, hyphen, parenthesis, bracket, brace, ellipsis, quotation mark, and apostrophe. The following are a few examples of these marks being used in a sentence. Brackets and Ellipses“Mr. Bumble said ‘a ass’ not ‘an ass’ in Oliver Twist. … ["

Muffler Repairs: $30-$500+ Muffler Replacement: $75-$750+E-mail Post Tweet Comments (54)A muffler is a baffle-filled cylinder designed to reduce engine emissions and noise; car mufflers are typically located underneath and at the rear of the vehicle. All states have laws requiring functioning mufflers on all vehicles driven on public roads. Symptoms that a muffler may need to be repaired or replaced include a rattling noise when starting, accelerating or braking; loud booms or hisses; rust or soot covering the tailpipe; or drowsiness while driving. Typical costs: Minor muffler repairs (such as welding a loose but still functioning muffler back in place or fixing broken clamps) can cost $30-$500 or more, depending on the specific work done and local labor rates. Cost Helper Readers report paying $40-$300 for muffler repairs, at an average cost of $138. Most report finding the best repair prices at small, local muffler shops. Having a muffler professionally replaced can cost $75-$750 or more, depending on the type of vehicle (whether it's a car, SUV, pickup or van), and whether the replacement parts are made by the vehicle's manufacturer (typically more expensive) or are aftermarket parts produced by other companies. Costs also depend on who does the work; small local muffler shops are usually the least expensive and car dealership service departments generally charge the highest prices. Cost Helper readers report paying $80-$647 for replacing a muffler, with an average charge of $280."

Car noises are not just annoying: sometimes they are a warning sign, like the calm before a storm. Here are the four car noises customers most commonly complain about. Sometimes noises are hard to identify, because a noise travels throughout the vehicle and it is hard to pinpoint where it's coming from. But with a trained ear and some insight, we should be able to figure out what is causing the noise in your car and what you can do to fix it. Common Car Noises and Their Likely Causes Noise More Details Likely Cause Fixing It Clicking noise while turning Starts faint, gradually becomes more noticeable until very loud Failed outer CV joint (constant velocity joint) due to torn boot (most likely) or old age Replace either the whole axle assembly (recommended) or the outer CV joint Water pump noises Difficult to diagnose because of water pump's location Noise usually caused by damage to the bearings in failed water pump Only cure is replacing it. If possible do it at the same time as a timing belt replacement to cut down on labor costs Squeak or squeal from an engine belt Loud, high-pitched squeak or squeal Belts either need adjustment or replacing If belts only squeak when damp, they probably just need adjustment.

"title": "https://itstillruns.com/exhaust-resonator-5765675.html\nWhat Is an Exhaust Resonator?",
"text": "What Is an Exhaust Resonator?by William Hanz Internal combustion engines usually make a lot of noise while they are running, and this noise can be annoying and exhaustive to your ears, especially when it is heard for a long period of time. Thus, mufflers were created to reduce the noise generated by the exhaust system. Exhaust resonators, meanwhile, further reduce the noise by making sound waves that cancel noises out. Structure A typical automotive exhaust resonator is made of a hollow steel cylindrical tube and is attached to the muffler of an exhaust system. This type of resonator is designed similar to that of an acoustic resonator, which creates an “exhaust note” that gives the exhaust noise a less annoying and more pleasant tone. The sound can be enhanced by means of adjusting the exhaust note. Function Exhaust resonators are usually add-on features in exhaust systems. They are placed together with the mufflers along the exhaust pipe and work primarily to decrease exhaust noise. The exhaust noise passes through the resonating chamber, which in turn tunes the sound to cause destructive interference in order to be canceled out by the opposite sound waves. Availability Being an add-on device, exhaust resonators are provided by aftermarket manufacturers and can be installed on muffler systems of internal combustion systems, such as automobiles and motorcycles."

An ultrasonic cleaner is simply a metal tank [stainless steel] that has pizeo ceramic transducers bonded to the bottom or side. These transducers have a unique property of changing size almost instantly when excited by an electrical signal. When excited the transducer increases in size and causes the tank bottom or side to move. This creates a compression wave in the liquid of the tank. By using an electrical generator that puts out a high frequency signal [20 to 250 k Hz] the transducer rapidly induces compression and rarefaction waves in the liquid. During the rarefaction cycle the liquid is torn apart. This creates a vacuum cavity within the liquid. These cavities will grow larger and smaller as the compression waves are continued. When the cavity reaches a certain size [based on the frequency and the wattage of the signal] the cavity can no longer retain its shape."

"text": "Hot Rod Engine Be The Camshaft Expert Written by Johnny Hunkins on June 14, 2006David Vizard - photographer;View All 38 Photos We'll show you how, but you'll need to leave those old myths at the door. The most meaningful statement you can make about power production is that it all starts with cylinder heads that can flow large quantities of air. But having the greatest flowing heads counts for zero if the valves are not opened sufficiently or at the right time in relation to the crankshaft’s rotation, and that very important function falls to the camshaft. The problem is, if you are something of a novice at this engine business, just about everything to do with cams and valvetrains looks complex, and the truth is, it’s that and more. If cam and valvetrain design at the top level is in your future, you had better thinkin terms of a Ph. D. in mechanical engineering. OK, so most of you are not looking to do that, but would like to understand cams and valvetrains sufficiently to make truly informed power-generating decisions. Being able to do so can easily mean choosing a cam for a typical street/strip small-block that will make 20-30 lb-ft and 20-30 hp more than your buddy who bought a generic grind out of a catalog solely on the basis of duration. ( If it’s bigger, it must be better, right?) If that 20-30 extra lb-ft and hp are important to you, then what you are about to read will give you the knowledge you need to get it."

"text": "Arts, Music, and Recreation ›Cars & Motorcycles Function and Necessity of Exhaust System's Resonator Share Flipboard Email Print This pile of mufflers and resonators is headed for the recycler. Gettyby Matthew Wright Updated January 14, 2018In car circles, you hear a lot of people talking about resonators. Is it a muffler? Is it part of a stereo system? What exactly is a resonator? The resonator is part of your exhaust system, but it is not the muffler. It is sometimes known as a pre-muffler because it is installed in the exhaust system after the catalytic converter and before the muffler. Some cars and trucks have them, others don’t. When to Replace a Bad Resonator, or Skip It There are two situations that would call for you to replace or install a resonator. The first is when your car was equipped with a resonator from the factory."

"text": "\"All high output engines are prone to destructive tendencies as a result of over boost, misfueling, mis-tuning and inadequate cooling. The engine community pushes ever nearer to the limits of power output. As they often learn cylinder chamber combustion processes can quickly gravitate to engine failure. This article defines two types of engine failures, detonation and pre-ignition, that are as insidious in nature to users as they are hard to recognize and detect. This discussion is intended only as a primer about these combustion processes since whole books have been devoted to the subject. First, let us review normal combustion. It is the burning of a fuel and air mixture charge in the combustion chamber. It should burn in a steady, even fashion across the chamber, originating at the spark plug and progressing across the chamber in a three dimensional fashion. Similar to a pebble in a glass smooth pond with the ripples spreading out, the flame front should progress in an orderly fashion. The burn moves all the way across the chamber and , quenches (cools) against the walls and the piston crown."

This is quite complex and I could ramble for hours.... Basically cam timing starts and stops the inlet and exhaust valve opening and closing - No surprises there ! Now think about the inlet inertia at higher rpm, put your hand anwhere near the plenum and you can feel the airflow, meaning the plenum pressure is working in your favour. It's the tap and water effect. Now look at a single cylinder model (It's easier to contemplate) Inlet valve opens to let the gas in, if the valve waits until the piston is at TDC (top dead centre) then it's missed a trick - Opening before this will allow the inlet pressure to flow into the cylinder as the piston is still travelling up the bore AND leaving the exhaust open for a little will mean the inlet flow will help push the spent exhaust gases out too. Sounds great ? Yep And as the revs rise you can open the valve earlier and earlier ideally just at the point that the inlet pressure is above the pressure created by the piston moving up the bore. So why not open bloody early all the time ?"

Even a quick drive to the store can become unbearable with the perturbing sound of obnoxious exhaust blasting out from your premium SUV! The exhaust is made up of a series of parts that start right at the engine with an exhaust header, which then attatches to a converter, resonator, 2.5” OD piping and other sound muffling devices. All these parts have the potential to fail. The dealer might seem the best choice for replacement parts – to the uninformed Envoy owners of the world, that is!

I was wondering if any 05-09 Saleen owners have a problem with your muffler. Well long story short I started to hear a rattling noise once I a while never really put much thought to since at times I would put a couple of things in the trunk. Well the rattling or clunk noise got louder and decided to look underneath. I saw one of the hangers that holds the muffler broken,so took it to the muffler shop. Well at the shop we discovered that there was two large holes were one hanger broke off and got lost and the other was just hanging by a thread. The the thing is that Saleen decided to weld the hangers from the muffler body were now it makes sence that it would break off sinner or later. So muffler shop patched up the holes and welded on new hanger from the pipe where it would be stronger. Well just giving you guys a heads up. Oh yeah the muffler that was most affected was drivers side. Pass muffler was ok no hangers on body.__________________"

Whitson Gordon6/27/12 1:00pm Filed to: Ask Lifehacker 79 3Dear Lifehacker, I'm a little confused by all the expiration dates on my food. Why do some foods have a \"\"Best Before,\"\" \"\"Sell By\"\" or \"\"Use By\"\" expiration date? Will those tell me when the food is unsafe to eat, or are some foods okay past their so-called expiration date? Sincerely, Eating Expired Food Dear Eating, You're right, while the labels seem understandable, they actually don't tell you a whole lot about whether you can or cannot eat the food its stamped on. Here's a brief look at what expiration dates mean, and how to tell whether your food has gone bad. Expiration Dates Refer to Quality, Not Safety Generally, you'll see three types of expiration dates on your food, and they all mean slightly different things. However, contrary to popular belief, they refer to the quality of the food, not the safety. Here's what each one means: Sell By: This date tells the store how long to keep the item on their shelves. If it reaches the date before its sold, the store will pull it from the shelves."

By Pat Bass, MD | Reviewed by Sanja Jelic, MDUpdated September 10, 2017Share Pin Email Print Westend61/Getty Images It is important to know how long your inhaler medication will last so that you will not unexpectedly run out of medicine and end up with an asthma attack. Unfortunately, you cannot see inside the canister like a bottle of pills to know when your medication is going to run out. So how can one figure out how much medicine is left? The number of puffs in each canister should be printed on the side of the inhaler. You will simply divide the total number of doses in the canister by the total number of doses taken per day. For example, Flovent, a steroid controller medication, has 120 puffs per canister. If your healthcare provider has prescribed 1 puff twice per day, your inhaler will last 60 days (120 divided by 2). Albuterol inhalers, a rescue bronchodilator, on the other hand, has 200 puffs per inhaler."

"text": "Ibuprofen Pharmacology Expiration Dates and Product Expiration Pharmaceuticals Medicine and Healthcare How long after the expiration date is it okay to use ibuprofen tablets? Does efficacy wane?6 Answers Mario Bogantes, Works on a Pharmaceutical company Answered Jul 8, 2015 · Upvoted by Liang-Hai Sie, Retired general internist, former intensive care physician. This is an everyday topic on the company I work. Pharmaceutical companies do lots of research in order to be able to apply to Regulatory Agencies for extension of the shelf life of their products. This is a very logical goal, as a product with 3 year shelf life will be preferred by buyers ( and by buyers I mean pharmacies and hospitals), reducing the possibility of expiring before it can be used. Because of this, we put the products we are testing at stability chambers that look like this: We set the temperature and humidity to the settings recommended by WHO for the region in which the product will be sold, and then we wait. Tests are done at 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months after the testing begins to check for variations on the specifications, mainly potency ( which will tell us if the drug can still have the desired effect), dissolution ( which will tell us if after taking the drug the body will be able to dissolve the tablet and thus permit that the medicine gets absorbed), microbiology ( we don't want the product to get contaminated by potentially harmful bacteria), and degradation products ( more on this later) What I have discovered after some time is that getting any product to have a shelf life of 24 months is not that hard (Although it's not a piece of cake either). On the other side, getting products to last for more than 36 months can be very tricky, depending on the medicine that it contains. For example, Paracetamol or Acetaminophen made in the company I work ( every industry is different, and this should be noted, not all formulations of this product will have the same properties) have made it to 60 months shelf life without breaking a sweat. On the other hand, some capsule formulations react badly with humidity, and are not able to pass dissolution testing after 36 months ( capsules harden and do not dissolve on the stomach)."

This video from IFT features Richard Ross, CEO of Ross Consulting LLC, discussing shelf-life of food, proper storage, expiration dates, lot codes and what it all means for you and your family. Health-conscious consumers are paying closer attention to the numbers and dates stamped on the bottom of their favorite cereals, canned goods, packaged snacks and even fresh produce. But what do all these numbers really mean? KNOW YOUR NUMBERSMost U. S. food companies stamp lot codes and/or expiration dates on their products. There are two types of codes: Lot Code: When manufacturers produce a product, they do so in batches. Each batch is assigned a unique series of numbers that makes it possible for manufacturers to track exactly when a problem occurred and which products need to be recalled. Expiration Dates: These are numbers represented in a date format that are used to provide a guideline for consumers so they will know when a food product is either no longer safe to eat or might not taste as good as it did when originally produced. SHELF-LIFE LINGOThere is little government regulation when it comes to expiration dates stamped on packages. Therefore, don't treat expiration dates or lot codes with a \"\"one-size fits all\"\" approach."

I will limit my answer to the determination of expiry dates of edible things especially pharma/ food product. Furthermore whatever method I will explain is applicable for a regulated market. By regulated market, I mean a market where each and every product is evaluated and subjected to all known safety standards. The limits of regulations might differ but presence is important. For example the amount of due diligence done on a product released in first world product will be much more than a stand alone product in a third world country. The ethical standards in this is of course debatable. A product is mostly a mixture of two or more components."

"text": "How to Navigate ‘Sell by’, ‘Use by’, & ‘Best Before’ Dates in Order to Cut Down on Food Waste G. E. Miller Last updated: January 2, 2018 18 Comments Why ‘Sell By’, ‘Use By’, & ‘Best Before’ Dates Matter When playing the ‘is it still good?’ game with your food and its shelf life, it’s fairly easy to jump to your own conclusions about what ‘Sell by’, ‘Use by’, and ‘Best if Used by’ mean. For example, one may fear that they will get sick and drop dead if eating something after the ‘use by’ date, but not feel the same fears about the exact same product if it had the same date on it, but was instead stamped with ‘sell by’. But what does each guideline really mean? And is it really safe to eat the food after the use or sell by dates versus throwing it away? Food Waste is a Huge Problem Why does it matter? Americans are tossing out at least $161 billion in food each year. The average American family throws away 40% of their food. In terms of money, that’s hundreds every year in meats, fruit, vegetables and grain products. That’s a lot of money and a lot of waste."

We adhere to roaster guidelines for freshness and that right there is the keyword: freshness. Not expiration in the way most people understand it like a sour glass of milk. We could quickly agree that those foul smelling notes mean the milk has expired, but open coffee roasted six months ago and there probably won’t be that telltale reek.

"text": "5 Frozen Foods You Shouldn't Eat Past Their Expiration Date — If You Still Want Them To Taste Good By Kat Kuehl Sept 14 2015If you're anything like me, you likely think of your freezer as that magical space where food stays fresh for an eternity. But, unfortunately, things actually do start to go bad in there. Consequently, there are a few different frozen foods you don't want to east past their expiration date — at least, not if you want them to taste great. That's right, just because your delicious frozen pizzas and bags of tater tots are tucked away in the freezer doesn't mean you want to keep them for years on end. Food does still expire in there. And, while it's usually not dangerous to eat these foods after the printed date, they likely won't taste as good, due to the flavor and texture breaking down over time. After all, do you really want to eat pizza rolls from 2012? I hope not. Of course, the freezer is great for making things last a little longer. You can chuck everything from an extra loaf of bread to ground beef in there if you aren't planning on using them in the near future."

So even if a food item passes its expiration date, that item could technically still be safe to eat. We dug a little deeper to find out what different types of “expiration” dates really indicate, and if they can be useful for consumers. Lawless Labels—The Need-to-Know Expiration dates on food and drink products are not required or regulated by Federal administrators (with the exception of infant formula). Those mysterious dates printed on food containers telling us when to purchase, eat, or throw out that tub of yogurt by are actually decided by each individual manufacturer. To complicate things even more, the printed numbers can mean multiple things, and there’s no continuity between types of products. So we’ve spelled it out for you with help from the USDA:\"\"Sell-By.” This number is for the store, letting employers know how long a certain product can stay on the shelf. You should buy the food item before this date passes to ensure it’s fresh. \"\""

How do you tell when an egg is fresh or if it has gone bad, without cracking it open to find out - Place the egg into a bowl of water. The water level should be deeper than the egg's length. Observe what the egg does. Fresh eggs will sink to the bottom of the bowl and lie on their sides. Slightly older eggs (about one week) will lie on the bottom but bob slightly. If the egg balances on its smallest end, with the large end reaching for the sky, it's probably around three weeks old. Eggs that float at the surface are bad and should not be consumed. Crack the egg open and look carefully."

During my time working in both management and part time capacities at a large supermarket, I can tell you that the evolution of what happens with food past its sell by date has been pretty fascinating. There is a distinction to note that there are generally several dates associated with food. There is a sell by date, a best by date and an expiration date. The short answer to your question is, yes, a lot of food gets thrown out. The long answer is that most supermarkets do a very good job of minimizing this waste. Almost all departments, especially ones with perishable items, order to sell out and should come very close to running out before their next order arrives. Think about that the next time your supermarket is out of fresh wild salmon. Would they really bring in one extra twenty pound case just to sell you an eight ounce fillet at 8PM the night before fresh fish arrives? Depends on the market and how aggressively the store wants to capture sales, but mostly, no."

At the same time, programs like active, engaged members even more. Because those members are profitable, they make the programs profitable. Dormant members, though, not so profitable. Delta was one of the leaders in reducing the length of time it takes for miles to expire down from 3 years to 18 months. having done that, expired tons of miles, cleaned up their balance sheet they now say their miles won’t ever expire. Eighteen months is the ‘U. S. standard’ though with United and American maintaining that rule. And when I say that miles expire, what happens in fact is that an account expires.

Jan 22, 2015by Chris Perrin Image: David Goehring/Flickr//Original photo was cropped but not altered for this article. Print Find out just how quickly your food may go bad (it's longer than you think)Share Tweet Pin Share Tumble Comment Now Many consumers call the date printed on store-bought food an \"\"expiration date\"\" and use it as the gospel as to whether that food is safe to eat or not. Unfortunately, for the most part, those dates have nothing to do with expiration, and many foods people call \"\"expired\"\" are safe to eat weeks or months after that date. See, food producers don't have to put any dates at all on their food (unless we're talking baby food and formula, in which case, those dates are federally mandated, and you should never serve food past that date). So, while some packages still have an expiration date on them, others have entirely different dates that are there to let you know when food is at its freshest and when stores should get it off the shelf. We're not saying you should eat foods well past their date, but if you know what the dates mean, then you can eat food longer than you maybe thought. Reading dates on a package Image: Giphy While there may be some parts of commercial packaging that are intentionally misleading (like 7UP being \"\"all natural\"\"), dates are straightforward if you know what to look for. Again, the only true expiration date appears on baby food and formula. Just about everything else is a \"\"sell by\"\" date (which tells the store to sell the product by that date so that the product will be at its freshest), \"\"best used by\"\" date (which tells you when to use the product for maximum quality) or \"\"born on\"\" or packaging date (so you know how old your beer… er, food… is)."

These engineers also draw up technical reports for other engineers, managers, and miners. Mining engineers arrange ways for transporting minerals to processing plants. They work mainly in remote locations in mining operations while others work near cities in sand and gravel sites. How to Become a Geological Engineer A geological engineer requires a bachelor’s degree from an accredited engineering program with courses in physics, geology, mine design and safety, math, and thermodynamics. Normally, laboratory and field work, along with classroom study are part of the program. Only a few schools offer mining engineering programs and need to be accredited by the ABET which bases it’s programs on faculty, facilities, and curriculum. You can obtain a master’s degree for this career field which includes a 2-year program in more specialized studies, such as mining regulations and mineral resource development. A written thesis for graduation is often required. Engineers holding a master’s or doctoral degree often teach engineering at colleges or universities."

This report has not been approved by the Commission. INTRODUCTIONGrading is the alteration of natural landforms through removal and/or addition of soil undertaken to make a site safe or suitable for construction or development. Unfortunately, grading often results in negative alteration of the environment. Visual degradation caused by grading is often dramatic in mountainous areas and along coastal bluffs where flat areas have been created by grading. Grading may also disturb the natural habitats of plants and animals in areas on or near a project where grading occurs. The large areas of exposed earth at sites where grading has occurred can lead to increased erosion and siltation, as well as shifts in depositional areas. Changes in sedimentation rates and patterns can result in contamination of surface and groundwater systems, which in turn may result in lower quality of public drinking water as well as pose a threat to the stability of an environmentally sensitive habitat."

Oregon’s Cascade Range covers roughly 17,000 square miles, or about 17 percent of the state, an area larger than each of the smallest nine of the fifty United States. The range is bounded on the east by U. S. Highways 97 and 197. On the west it reaches nearly to Interstate 5, forming the eastern margin of the Willamette Valley and, farther south, abutting the Coast Ranges. Along its Oregon segment, the Cascade Range is almost entirely volcanic in origin. The volcanoes and their eroded remnants are the visible magmatic expression of the Cascadia subduction zone, where the offshore Juan de Fuca tectonic plate is subducted beneath North America. Subduction occurs as two lithospheric plates collide, and an underthrusted oceanic plate is commonly dragged into the mantle by the pull of gravity, carrying ocean-bottom rock and sediment down to where heat and pressure expel water. As this water rises, it lowers the melting temperature in the overlying hot mantle rocks, thereby promoting melting."

Folds come in all sizes,their wave life structures that may be hundreds of miles long down to microscopic in size, and all are formed in essentially the same way by compressional forces. Geologists study rock structures for several reasons. Number l, they help us to understand the geologic history of a region, and they also help us to understand the history of tectonic movements and the plate movements. The analysis of folds, faults, and joints are all in a branch of geology called \"\"structural geology,\"\" and it's from these studies that we learned about mountain building forces and were able to interpret them in the light of plate tectonics. The folds and faults and other geologic structures also help us to make geologic maps, which we use to infer underground structures where we can't see the rocks and to help us to understand the formation of geologic resources to locate and manage them. Like other geologic structures, folds and faults can be classified, and we learn from the classification that similar structures are formed by similar processes. By classifying the geologic structures and understanding how they were formed, we can learn to interpret the story left behind in the rock."

The iconic hall glorified as an architectural masterpiece that properly represents the whimsical character that is associated with Walt Disney himself. The sails of stainless steel seem to move with a grace that can only be defined by the music playing within it; however, the building process was much more complicated. Furthermore, the stainless steel that makes up the concert hall went through extensive crucial processes before, during, and after the construction that made the masterpiece possible. Throughout these processes of making the material, constructing the material, and perfecting the material, we see energy in many forms including electric, thermal, chemical, kinetic, etc. Iron Ore Mining Before the building of the magnificent stainless steel sails could be constructed, the sheets first went through an intense process of mining and grinding iron ores, to heating raw mixtures, and rolling molten metal in order to bring out the smooth, light weight, shiny finish that is recognizable in stainless steel. The iron ore mining process begins by diamond drilling a sample core hundreds of feet into the earth’s crust from ground level in order to identify the taconite rock that holds about 28 percent of iron. Kinetic energy comes from the friction between the earth’s crust and the diamonds on the rim of the drill; thus, creating a thermal energy that allows the drill to drive into the crust. The kinetic energy provided by the injection of water into the drill pipe allows the core to extract without ejecting the pipe from the ground."

"text": "Environmental geologists help prevent contamination of soil and groundwater by determining geologically safe locations for new landfills, coal ash disposal sites, and nuclear power plants. They also help plan underground waste disposal. For example, companies in certain industries dispose of chemical-laden waste water by pumping it deep underground. Environmental geologists help determine sites for safe waste water “injection wells” and may oversee the process. These professionals also help plan new mines to make them as safe for the environment as possible. They decide where to put the mining waste and how to protect groundwater, and may develop a soil and water monitoring plan. They also evaluate effects of proposed projects on the geological environment, and how geology may limit development. In addition to preventing contamination, environmental geologists also help clean up contamination from leaking underground gasoline storage tanks or chemical spills. For example, they examine the structure of the soils and rock, along with the flow of groundwater, to determine the extent and distribution of contaminants underground. They may also assist with the remediation of Superfund sites and old mines by assessing and mapping underground conditions."

Helium deposits in the earth's crust are thought to have been created by radioctive decay of elements like uranium and thorium. But the largest naturally occuring source of helium is found in natural gas. This fact is used by proponents of abiogenic petroleum to argue that natural gas is not a fossil fuel, because plants do not collect or concentrate helium. If we reject the claims by Gold, et al, about abiogenesis, how do we account for the association of helium with natural gas? If it is created by radioactive decay, why don't we find it in large deposits without natural gas?

"text": "\"Earthquake Facts & Earthquake Fantasy Fact or Fiction? FACT: Earthquakes are sudden rolling or shaking events caused by movement under the Earth’s surface. An earthquake is the ground shaking caused by a sudden slip on a fault. Stresses in the earth's outer layer push the sides of the fault together. Stress builds up and the rocks slip suddenly, releasing energy in waves that travel through the earth's crust and cause the shaking that we feel during an earthquake. Faults are caused by the tectonic plates grinding and scraping against each other as they continuously and slowly move. In California, for example, there are two plates - the Pacific Plate (which extends from western California to Japan, including much of the Pacific Ocean floor) and the North American Plate (which is most of the North American continent and parts of the Atlantic Ocean). The Pacific Plate moves northwestward past the North American Plate along the San Andreas Fault at a rate of about two inches per year. Parts of the San Andreas Fault system adapt to this movement by constant \"\"creep\"\" resulting in many tiny shocks and a few moderate earth tremors. In other parts, strain can build up for hundreds of years, producing great earthquakes when it finally releases."

Geologists usually study geology, although backgrounds in physics, chemistry, biology, and other sciences are also useful. Field work is an important component of geology, although many subdisciplines incorporate laboratory work. Geologists work in the energy and mining sectors searching for natural resources such as petroleum, natural gas, and precious metals. They are also in the forefront of preventing and mitigating damage from natural hazards and disasters such as earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis and landslides. Their studies are used to warn the general public of the occurrence of these events. Geologists are also important contributors to climate change discussions.

"text": "Exploration The practice of locating natural gas and petroleum deposits has been transformed dramatically in the last 20 years with the advent of extremely advanced, ingenious technology. In the early days of the industry, the only way of locating underground petroleum and natural gas deposits was to search for surface evidence of these underground formations. Those searching for natural gas deposits were forced to scour the earth, looking for seepages of oil or gas emitted from underground before they had any clue that there were deposits underneath. However, because such a low proportion of petroleum and natural gas deposits actually seep to the surface, this made for a very inefficient and difficult exploration process. As the demand for fossil fuel energy has increased dramatically over the past years, so has the necessity for more accurate methods of locating these deposits. Sources of Data Technology has allowed for a remarkable increase in the success rate of locating natural gas reservoirs. In this section, it will be outlined how geologists and geophysicists use technology and knowledge of the properties of underground natural gas deposits to gather data that can later be interpreted and used to make educated guesses as to where natural gas deposits exist. However, it must be remembered that the process of exploring for natural gas and petroleum deposits is characteristically an uncertain one, due to the complexity of searching for something that is often thousands of feet below ground. Exploration for natural gas typically begins with geologists examining the surface structure of the earth, and determining areas where it is geologically likely that petroleum or gas deposits might exist. It was discovered in the mid 1800s that ‘anticlinal slopes’ had a particularly increased chance of containing petroleum or gas deposits."

Local resources for problems related to sinkholes may be found on the Sinkhole Resources page. Introduction Just about any place where the land is underlain by relatively soluble bedrock, natural waters on and below the land surface slowly dissolve that bedrock. Dissolving is enhanced by these waters' tendency to be acidic. For example, rain is usually acidic because it contains dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. It often becomes more acidic as it soaks into the ground and picks up more CO2 from the soil. Such a landscape in which the bedrock is shaped, or sculpted, by dissolution is referred to as karst. The most common type of bedrock in karst terranes is carbonate rock, which includes limestone (calcium carbonate), dolostone (calcium-magnesium carbonate), and marble (calcium carbonate). There are a few other kinds of rock (e.g., gypsum, which is composed of calcium sulfate) that can be involved in karst, but in Maryland karst terranes are limited to areas underlain by carbonate rocks.

Unfortunately, nuclear fission, the process used to create this large amount energy, creates significant amounts of high level radioactive waste. More than 30,000 metric tons of nuclear waste have arisen from U. S. commercial reactors as well as high level nuclear weapons waste, such as uranium and plutonium [Roush, 1995]. Because of the build-up of this waste, some power plants will be forced to shut down. To avoid losing an important source of energy, a safe and economical place to keep this waste is necessary. This document proposes a literature review of whether Yucca Mountain is a suitable site for a nuclear waste repository. The proposed review will discuss the economical and environmental aspects of a national storage facility. This proposal includes my methods for gathering information, a schedule for completing the review, and my qualifications. Statement of Problem On January 1, 1998, the Department of Energy (DOE) must accept spent nuclear fuel from commercial plants for permanent storage [Clark, 1997]. However, the DOE is undecided on where to put this high level radioactive waste. Yucca Mountain, located in Nevada, is a proposed site. There are many questions regarding the safety of the Yucca Mountain waste repository. Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory disagree over the long-term safety of the proposed high level nuclear waste site located in Nevada."

Instead, the key to growing a successful business is growing successful employees. With this in mind, companies and businesses are increasingly on the lookout for knowledgeable professionals to recruit, retain, and reinvigorate employees. This is the domain of the human resource specialist. What does a human resource specialist do? HR specialists recruit new employees, and provide a number of services to existing employees, such as promoting employee morale and offering information and assistance regarding employee benefits. There are several areas of focus for human resource (HR) specialists. One branch of human resources is recruitment. An HR recruiter is responsible for finding employee candidates and are an integral part of the interview process. They often serve as a contact person for job inquiries."

Federal Job Application Tips You might get a faster response if you apply to a smaller agency, but if you're applying to one with hundreds of thousands of employees and hundreds of job openings -- in short, a place with the most potential opportunities for you -- then you need to think long-term. Here's how to apply for federal jobs, accepting the fact that it could be a six-to-12-month process before you're hired: Find job announcements that are right for you, and match your resume to the skills the announcements require. Apply for one to three positions per week. Submit your resume to any of the online databases: USAJOBS, Avue Central, CPOL, Department of the Navy, Civilian Human Resources and any agency-specific databases that interest you. Apply to jobs with close deadlines as well as those with far-away deadlines. The latter are database resume-collecting announcements. Keep track of your applications.

"text": "Where did the business partner model go wrong? By Ross Bentley on 26 Mar 2008 in Employment Law Features, HR strategy Hailed as the approach progressive human resources departments should be taking in the 21st Century, it would seem the jury is still out on the HR business partner model. That is according to research from consultancy Roffey Park, which found that less than half (47%) of managers think the HR business partner experiment has been a success in their organisation. What’s more, a quarter (26%) went as far as to say the system was not effective at all, while the remainder said it was too early to tell. Hardly a ringing endorsement for the HR model launched by leading HR academic Dave Ulrich in his 1997 book Human Resource Champions: the Next Agenda for Adding Value and Delivering Results. At the time a groundbreaking read, Ulrich argued that the roles of HR professionals must be redefined to meet the competitive challenges organisations were facing then and would face in the future. He set out a structure where basic administrative HR is taken care of by low-cost, shared-service centres, while a small team of ‘business partners’ are given higher-paid jobs concentrating on people strategies. In the middle are teams of specialists. But although this approach does seem to have been successful in a lot of organisations, why has it also failed in so many? According to Nicholas Higgins, chief executive at human capital management consultancy Valuentis, a common pitfall is for HR departments is to get hung up on implementing structures without actually developing their strategic influence."

"text": "An HVAC technician is a professional that labors in the field of heating, ventilation, air conditioning service and support. He or she can install and repair systems, as well as maintain them. He or she may work as an independent contractor or be employed by a company that specializes in climate control solutions for businesses and residential properties. When an HVAC technician is associated with the installation of a new system, he or she will be proficient in reading blueprints connected to the installation, and will participate in the preparation of the space for the installation of the required equipment. This may also include ductwork construction and installation as well as the main components for the system. The HVAC technician will be responsible for making sure the installation is conducted in compliance with local regulations, and that the unit will provide efficient heating and air conditioning for the space. For HVAC technicians focused on maintaining existing systems, the focus is on inspecting each component in the system. This will include making sure that each portion of the overall system is still functioning within acceptable levels of efficiency. If a component is found to be wearing out or in danger of breaking down, the technician will engage in repairs to the unit that will correct the situation. An HVAC technician will also check for ventilation efficiency of the system and make adjustments if necessary."

By Maria Magher; Updated September 26, 2017HVAC technicians install, repair or maintain heating and air conditioning units. Opportunities for careers in heating, ventilation and air conditioning -- known as HVAC -- are expected to grow faster than the average for other fields by 2020, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook. To get started as an HVAC technician, students first need to get a degree, which can take up to two years to complete depending on the school and the program. What an HVAC Technician Does HVAC technicians can install, maintain, diagnose and repair air conditioning and heating units in both residential and commercial properties. Some technicians may also learn how to service refrigeration units and can get a heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration, or HVACR, degree or certification. Technicians can be self-employed, or they can work for a repair service or for a large company. The job carries a certain amount of risk since it requires working with electrical and mechanical components and includes exposure to potentially toxic chemicals. Technicians may also be required to work in tight spaces or high places. HVAC Degree An HVAC degree is typically completed at a trade school or community college, and it takes on average two years to complete."

Of course, I had lofty goals and wanted to rise to the top but my expectations at the time matched my skill level. That skill level was a lot of book knowledge and not a lot of field experience. After all, admittedly there are many lights that do not turn on in the classroom that does turn on in the field after some experience. Stress can turn some light bulbs on while others turn on easily after you see something for real the first time instead of reading about it in a book. HVAC Technician Tools There are also others that help you while you are coming up. Many HVAC technicians will share knowledge while a few will not share knowledge. I can’t say why the ones who do not want to share knowledge want to keep things to themselves. Perhaps they are afraid someone will take their job away from them.

Fortunately, it’s pretty good about giving signs when it needs servicing. One of the key things that many homeowners notice is bad aromas coming from the unit. An odor problem doesn’t necessarily mean that the repair will be expensive. It could be a dirty air filter or condensation which has created mold in the unity. When troubleshooting the smell, use your other senses as well. Listen for banging or knocking. Look for excess water on the ground or other liquids which don’t belong. Many times, the smells are not dangerous, just indicative that your system needs service. However, some smells, like rotten eggs or gas are more serious."

"text": "\"Click here for Mega Squirt® Mega Manual™ Information, Guides, and Links HEI Ignition Control To provide improved engine performance, better fuel economy, and reduced exhaust emissions, an Engine Fuel Injection Controller can control spark advance (timing) using a 7-pin High Energy Ignition (HEI) module. These modules will work with a variety of ignitions which have 1 coil and a mechanical distributor to distribute spark. For most ignition systems, the total ignition advance is based on three factors: Total advance = initial advance + RPM based advance + vacuum advance In particular, the Ultra Mega Squirt code uses three variables to determine the total advance (which is called adv_deg ). The first is the relevant value from the engine speed and load table, called ign_table (rpm,k Pa), combining the RPM based advance and vacuum advance in one 12x12 table. The second is the adv_offset, roughly equivalent to the initial timing. And the final value is the cold_adv_deg, an enhancement not available in many ignition systems, which is a 1x10 table based on engine coolant temperature (clt). In the code, these factors are in tenths of a degree ( 1 / 10 °). These values must be positive, so adv_offset sets the minimum amount of advance possible. So:adv_deg = ign_table (rpm, kpa) + adv_offset + cold_adv_deg In general: Low MAP (low engine load) = more spark advance High MAP (high engine load) = less spark advance Low CLT (cold engine) = more spark advance High CLT (warm engine) = less spark advance Low RPM = less spark advance High RPM = more spark advance The spark advance table is a 12 by 12 matrix (144 values) based on engine speed (RPM) and manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor values. A further table of 10 values is used to make adjustments for engine coolant temperature."

Sometimes “the first year” was ten years ago!! While the perception of a customer is always true, the statement is generally not true. Barbeque grill igniters usually work long after they have stopped igniting the gas grill. Of course, you could point out the obvious confusion in that statement which is that if the grill stopped igniting, what does it matter if you say the igniter is not broken?! If it does not ignite the grill, it is not working. I have been shocked by ignition modules off grills when the owner claimed the ignitor hadn’t worked in ten years.gas grill ignitor modules and electrodesuniversal bbq grill ignitor kit contains battery module, electrode and wires to start any barbeque and replace the ignitorgas grill electrodes spark against the burner to ignite gas in the grill fireboxbarbecue grill starter with collection box on electrode sparks the electrode against the collector boxuniversal module for all gas grill ignitionrotary bbq starter sends electric spark when control knob spins Gas BBQ Grill Ignition Parts A gas barbeque grill ignition system consists of several replaceable parts.

The 7 Pin HEI Module With a GM HEI 7-pin (and 8-pin modules), the ignition module wires you need to know about are:tach signal is a purple wire with a white trace [ pin R ]advance control signal is a white wire [ pin E ]override (cranking) signal is a tan wire with a black trace [ pin B ]ground is a black wire with a red trace [grounded to distributor case]The 4-pin HEI uses a negative-to-positive transition, while the 7/8-pin uses a positive-to-negative transition (though this *might* have changed in some applications). Thus polarity of the reluctor signal is critical to proper function. In the GM 7/8-pin HEI, the module converts the AC signal from the variable reluctor pick-up {on pins P & N } in the distributor to a 'square wave' tach signal {on pin R} suitable for Mega Squirt-II. The falling edge of this square wave is used as the trigger event (which becomes the rising edge when the optoisolator inverts the signal). HEI does not use the reluctor for dwell control, this is accomplished in the module. Dwell needs to be independent of RPM. Variable reluctor output is RPM dependent with regard to both its width and amplitude of its output. The only thing constant with a variable reluctor output is the location of the zero crossing point with respect to the passing tooth."

"text": "\"Converting Your Imperial To An Electronic Ignition Imperial Home Page -> Repair -> Electrical System -> Ignition System -> Converting Click here for Mopar Performance Electronic Ignition Kit Instructions Tips from Mikey: The pertronix and the Mopar electrical unit are basically the same technology. Both use a magnet that rotates to excite (induce) a very small current in a stationary winding. ( this is basic electricity 101, move a conductor thru a magnetic field ) This very small current is used as a switch thru a transistor, that in turn makes the field in the coil collapse and that induces a much larger voltage to the spark plug. I like both of these systems, the Pertronix hides easily, and unless someone is really looking for it. You really don't notice the 2 small wires. Another plus, you get to keep the existing distributor curves, which sometimes can be a plus if you've had a distributor recurved and set up for your car. The Mopar set up is easy to do, can be done as the kit from Mopar or from parts and pieces. In fact, the schematic to install one is in our archives I believe. The one plus to it, is when the box fails you can get one fairly easily, which may not be the case with the pertronix - especially if your car is sitting in the darkest, loneliest place you would never ever normally leave it some evening. Either way, its up to you....when I did use pertronix, I carried a spare."

You can do your own diagnosis by using a code reader from the Subaru diagnostic code reader section, and we would recommend the Subaru i Carsoft i903 kit which will read out the Subaru problem code or Subaru fault code, once the fault has been fixed the code can be cleared from the system memory and the light can be removed from the dashboard. Subaru Impreza 2nd generation airbag warning dash light - if the airbag light is illuminated on your Impreza dashboard it indicates a problem within the airbag module. Sometimes it can just be a loose connection or sometimes it can be more serious. To find & fix the airbag problem you need to use a diagnostic code reader which cover the airbag system (be careful, not all diagnostic code scanners cover the airbag/SRS module). For the Subaru Impreza airbag/SRS module we would recommend you use the Subaru i Carsoft i903 which will find the exact location of the fault. Once the fault has been fixed you can clear the SRS fault code with this kit, and then remove the dashboard light. Subaru Impreza 2nd generation ABS dash light - if this light illuminates it indicates that you have a problem with your ABS module. It could be a serious problem, or it could be something smaller like an ABS sensor which needs to be changed which is most likely.

"text": "Cars & Transportation Maintenance & Repairs How do you fix body control modules?how do you fix body control modules in a Tiburon Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Okay , this is what the Body Control Module does: The Body Control Module (BCM) supplies vehicle occupants with visual and audible information and controls various vehicle functions, To provide and receive information, the module is interfaced to the vehicle's serial bus communications network, the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) bus. This network consists of the powertrain control module (PCM), the Transmission Control Module (TCM) , the electro/mechanical instrument cluster (MIC) , the Airbag Control Module (ACM) , the Compass/mini-trip module and the Controller Antilock brake Module (CAB). The BCM is operational when battery power is supplied to the module. Ignition switch power is needed for ignition switch functions. The BCM provides the following features: • Automatic door locks • Battery protection • Chimes • Compass/mini-trip support • Courtesy lamps • BCM diagnostic support • Door lock inhibit • Headlamp time delay • Ignition key lamp • Illuminated entry • Instrument panel dimming • Mechanical instrument cluster support • Power door locks (with/without remote keyless entry) • Sliding door memory lock • Vehicle Theft Security system (VTSS) • Windshield wipers / washers (front and rear) As you can see, it is central to the control systems of the van and can be very complex. To my way of thinking if one or maybe two systems connected to the BCM have a problem, then the cause is probably within that system. But when they all have a problem, then I have to think the BCN is bad. At the very least they can try it. It doesn't take but a few minutes to put it in and if it doesn't fix the problem, then can just take it out. I assume that they checked all the fuses, but I would be remiss if I didn't mention this."

There have been a lot of advances in ignition technology through the years. Not even 30 yeaars ago we were driving vehicles with crude point-triggered ignitions and conventional distributors. Keeping spark timing in sync with engine RPM has been a great challenge with conventional ignitions. With high-performance engines, keeping the spark alive at high revs under great combustion pressures has been asking a lot of those dated point-triggered ignitions. Time and technology have brought us better ignition systems — even distributorless ignition, which is as precise as it gets. Because you’re building a budget V-8, distributorless ignition probably isn’t in the cards. So we have to concentrate on how to achieve precision ignition via the distributor. First, let’s look at the basics. POINT-TRIGGERED IGNITIONConventional ignition systems consist of a primary and secondary circuit."

"text": "\"When a gas range's oven is not working I frequently hear that question. The first thing that is needed is to be sure your model actually has a \"\"pilot\"\" which needs lighting. Understanding Gas Oven Ignition Systems Most gas ranges currently available employ one of 3 basic gas ignition systems; pilot ignition, hot surface ignition system (which uses a 'glow bar' or 'glow coil' - aka an \"\"ignitor\"\") and a spark ignition system. The latter two being referred to as \"\"electronic ignition\"\" systems as they use electricity in one form or another to operate the oven heating system. Only the pilot ignition system has an actual \"\"pilot\"\" (which is a small but real \"\"flame\"\") which might need manual lighting. If the surface burners of a range are a spark ignition type, the oven IS one of the possible kinds of electronic ignition systems and thus will not usually have a \"\"pilot\"\" which needs lighting. Be aware though that just because the surface burners might light via a spark doesn't necessarily mean the oven uses the spark type ignition system too. There is one older style of electronic ignition system which does also use an oven pilot but it is very rare and such a system hasn't been used in oven models since the early to mid 70's. It is the 'constant pilot' *electronic ignition* system. Making Observations The oven burner's operation will usually need to be directly observed while in operation as the first step to troubleshooting problems."

"text": "\"Infrared Sauna vs. Traditionalby CHRIS SHERWOOD July 18, 2017Saunas are a common fixture in many fitness centers, spas and other health-related facilities across the United States. In fact, saunas have even found their way into many personal homes through professional installs or the use of a sauna-building kit. When choosing what type of sauna you want to use, your options have expanded from just a traditional sauna, to having the additional option of the infrared sauna. Each type of sauna comes with its own differences. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Heat One of the main differences between a traditional sauna and an infrared sauna is the heat involved while inside the unit. Traditional dry saunas use temperatures as high as 185 to 195 degrees F, which can overwhelm those who are more sensitive to the heat. Infrared saunas use a much milder temperature environment of between 120 to 150 degrees F. However, because the heat of infrared saunas travels much deeper into the body, they are able to cause a more vigorous sweat at lower temperature, states Dr. Richard Beever in the July 2009 issue of \"\"Canadian Family Physician. \"\" Humidity When comparing an infrared sauna to a traditional steam sauna, it's important to look at humidity. A steam sauna is going to have a lower temperature than a traditional dry sauna, but it is also going to employ large amounts of heated steam, which creates a humid experience. Infrared saunas do not use steam and rely fully on the heat from the infrared heaters for overall effects."

This is necessary because infrared is beneficial only if it is administered in appropriate doses, any excesses can cause body injury, whereas low doses prove ineffective. Providing pain relief through infrared massage and sauna may be a relatively new concept, but it is fast to gain popularity because it is quite easy to use and is far more affordable than other types of alternative healing techniques. If you decide to try Far Infrared Clothing, you are required to wear the clothing like normal clothing. These items can be cared for just like normal apparel that can be washed and dried at home. In case of an Infrared Sauna, you are required to spend some time in an enclosure fitted with special lamps producing Infrared Rays. All this only shows how easily you can promote healing through infrared rays. You may have your doubts and it is human to suspect anything that is new, even if it is an innovative method of relieving body pain and promoting good health."

All information in this article is for educational purposes only. It is not for the diagnosis, treatment, prescription or cure of any disease or health condition. A single reddish 250-watt “heat lamp”, which is really a near infrared lamp, is an excellent healing device. The use of a single heat lamp or a sauna made with three or four of these lamps is an integral part of almost all nutritional balancing programs. The main exception is to avoid using the heat lamp during pregnancy because the heat can bother the fetus. This article details where to get a lamp and clamp-on socket, how to use the lamp, and cautions that one must observe for its safe and effective use. PRELIMINARY CAUTIONS:1. The lamp is very hot! Make sure it is fastened securely so it won’t move or drop, as this would cause a severe burn.2. The lamp is delicate."

"text": "Best Infrared Sauna Slim Belt Reviews Contents [ show]What You Know About Infrared Sauna Belts? These days, it seems as if everybody is doing something to try to get into better shape. While there are extremes such as steroids and drastic surgeries, most reasonable people prefer more low key and level headed means of getting in shape. Sometimes this simply means removing fast food from a diet entirely and learning to cook or bicycling to work barring extreme weather. Usually simple is best; anything that leads towards fewer calories or more exercise will improve all but the damaged bodies. Still, some people need alternatives for one reason or another, and it is for them that products such as the infrared sauna belt exists. What is an infrared sauna belt? A sauna belt is essentially a thick, wide belt of fabric, intended to be wrapped around any part of the body the user desires, oftentimes the stomach. These devices can then, with the touch of a button, start heating up and warm the part of the body it’s placed on, through the process of infrared heating. Infrared heating is the same process by which electric heaters, heat lamps, plastic welders, glass and metal heat treating, meat curing, egg warming, nurturing suckling animals and shrinking plastics."

EMF are the combination of magnetic and electrical energies that accompany and surround any electrical device. The amount is measured in milligauss (m G). But is it really an important area of concern? In the past several decades, these levels from human-made sources have increased as new technologies and new uses of electricity have increased. Research into the dangers of increased exposure has also increased in recent years. According to many experts, it is becoming more important every year. The World Health Organization (WHO) had this summary statement: WHO | World Health Organization Electromagnetic fields of all frequencies represent one of the most common and fastest growing environmental influences, about which anxiety and speculation are spreading. All populations are now exposed to varying degrees of EMF, and the levels will continue to increase as technology advances."

"text": "Exercise Before or After Sauna Use?by CHRISTINE DAGNELLI July 18, 2017Sauna, a Finnish word and essential part of Finnish health, is considered a standard rather than a luxury. Primitive saunas dug into a slope on a hill, had a fire pit in the middle. After the industrial revolution the sauna evolved to a small wooden room with heated rocks or used infrared lights to create heat. Sauna use is added to exercise regimes to aid with detoxification. You can exercise before or after sauna use. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Features of a Sauna The temperature of a dry sauna is about 70 degrees Celsius or 154 degrees Fahrenheit. This forces your body to sweat and increases your heart rate. The energy utilized during a thirty minutes sauna session is approximately the same as running 10 kilometers. After sauna use your body perceives it has just received exercise. This is why you need to consider your fluid intake whether you exercise before or after sauna use."

The seven colors of the rainbow are visible lights, and infrared rays and ultraviolet rays are invisible lights. Infrared rays are one of the sun’s rays. Infrared rays are the healthiest, penetrate into your skin deeply and they dissolve harmful substances accumulated in your body. The infrared rays vitalize your cells and metabolism. Far Infrared Far infrared waves penetrate into our body to activate the sweat glands. The sweat glands offer one of only a few mechanisms that the body has to eliminate toxins and since the skin is the largest organ in the human body it is apparently a very good means for elimination.

I basically sweated my ass off, and had to drink water during and after, so not much water weight lost. It also loosened my over trained muscles which felt great. I can’t speak to other herbal wraps or seaweed wraps, but the infrared wraps are basically portable saunas. Unless you are lucky enough to have a home sauna or belong to a GYM, you’ll need to go to a spa or buy a home unit. I recommend going to a spa to test it before investing in a home unit. What does an infrared wrap or unit do? It makes you sweat out toxins and burn mega calories. This is a great option for people who hate exercise. It works best when eating clean, exercising and using the sauna."

Most people prefer to enjoy their sauna at temperatures between 150-175 degrees Fahrenheit for traditional saunas and 120-130 degrees Fahrenheit for infrared saunas. How long should I stay inside a sauna? While this, too, varies between individuals - one can usually stay in the sauna until they begin to feel uncomfortable. Typically, remain in the sauna for about 10-15 minutes and then take a break to cool off for several minutes. Then you can feel free to return to the sauna for another \"\"inning.\"\" A Finnleo sauna experience can be truly relaxing and rewarding, but don't stay in the sauna for extended periods of time. Set the temperature and humidity level (if you are using a traditional sauna) to your ideal level. If you begin to feel dizzy or uncomfortable, simply leave the sauna and cool off."

HEI Distributor Installed in 1957 GMC Engine The HEI puts out a much hotter spark that the standard 57 ignition. It also doesn't have points that wear (changing dwell and timing) and burn (reducing current flow and therefore amount of spark). The GMC V8 from 55.2 through 59 is basically a detuned Pontiac V8 from the same year. Truck engine sizes were 288, 316, 347 and 336 cubic inches.

There are several reasons that might cause your HID bulbs to flicker or strobe: Reason #1: You may require a special harness because your car is not designed to have HID lights installed. This is caused by the amount of resistance that is required for the vehicle's electrical system, and since HID is a low resistance and high output application, the vehicle will not send a constant amount of power to the ballasts and cause the lights to flicker and make an error light to show in the dashboard of the vehicle. We offer a solution for both Bi-Xenon and single beam applications that add just the right amount of resistance to stop the flickering and turn off warning messages on your dashboard. For Low-beam we have our \"\" HID Warning Canceller \"\" that is a simple plug and play application that installs between the ballast power wire and the ballast. For the Bi-Xenon kits we have what we call a \"\" Bixenon Special Harness \"\" this harness includes 2 inline resistors that are programmed to tell your cars/trucks computer that you have halogen bulbs and allows you to run HID lights with no error codes or flickering. Both of these solutions are just as easy to install as the rest of our kits. Here is a list of some of the vehicles that need the harness: 2003+ Audi, BMW, Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, Jeep and Mercedes Benz. * This video will show you The common Flickering problem and how its fixed***This is how to connect the \"\"HID Warning Canceller\"\"**Reason #2: Your vehicle may have what is called DRL, or Daytime Running Lights."

It is a mechanism by which a library author can make a nested namespace look and act as if all its declarations were in the surrounding namespace (inline namespaces can be nested, so \"\"more-nested\"\" names percolate up all the way to the first non-inline namespace and look and act as if their declarations were in any of the namespaces in between, too)."

"text": "Electrical Fuses Wires Word Definitions, Terminology, and Jargon Electricity What is an electric fuse wire?8 Answers Mohan Krishna Meruva, NITian,introvert and a lucid dreamer Answered Jun 22, 2015Electric fuse is a protective device which protects electrical equipment in the circuit by breaking the circuit when there is a short circuit. It contains a fuse wire which has low resistance, it allows normal current tpass through it safely but if there is any short circuit, fuse will blow out i.e fuse wire cant withstand the heat produced by that current (infinite current) so it melts and breaks the circuit. Thus, protecting other electrical devices from short circuit current. The fuse wire is made of zinc, copper, silver, aluminum, or alloys to provide stable and predictable characteristics. Fuse should be of low resistance and low melting point as per the requirement current rating for overcurrent protection. This is how a normal fuse looks like. You can see the fuse wire in it. After short circuit the fuse wire should be replaced by a new wire which is available in the market.23.5k Views · View Upvoters Your response is private. Is this answer still relevant and up to date?

The alternative is Relay Output. I have no objections to using TRIAC Outputs. But I personally prefer to use the TRIAC Output to drive a small control relay. I prefer IDEC relays - They're good for 10 Amps per contact. That is, for every TRIAC Output I have, I have a duplicating RELAY that presents the signal to the field. The idea is that I don't want any field faults to trash my output. Sure, the outputs are protected by fuses, but, if the fault is bad enough, and occurs often enough, the TRIAC WILL FAIL! That will result in the module being replaced just because one output has gone bad."

"text": "August 24, 2010 Accessories and Installation Staff Writer How to Eliminate Engine Noise Engine/Alternator noise sounds like a high pitch whining that gets louder and higher in pitch as you press on the gas pedal. This noise indicates that the system either has a bad ground, defective head unit, defective amplifier, bad RCA cables, improper installation, or a problem in the vehicle’s charging system. Follow the steps below in order to pinpoint the cause of engine noise and reduce or eliminate the problem. Unplug the head unit’s power harness before connecting or disconnecting the RCA cables and then plug the power harness in. It may seem redundant but it may prevent further problems. Test while the engine is running; alternator noise is only produced while the engine is on.1) On the head unit, turn the volume down to zero.2) Turn the gain up on the amplifier until you can hear the engine/alternator noise.3) Unplug all of the RCA cables at the amplifier. If the noise is no longer audible, then the noise is being produced before the amplifier. This means the noise is either coming from the RCA cables or the head unit. ( go to step 4)If the noise is still audible, then the problem stems from the amplifier or power wires (go to step 8)4) Plug the RCA cables back into the amplifier.5) Unplug the RCA cables from the head unit. If the noise is still audible, then the noise is being produced by the RCA cables (go to step 6)If the noise is no longer audible, then the noise is being produced at the head unit. ("

Given the responsibility of literally pumping a vehicle's fuel from its tank to the engine, a malfunctioning fuel pump will usually lead to total disaster. Car owners should be aware of common symptoms of a malfunctioning pump so they can take a preventative measure before the worst happens. This guide is designed to explain the five most common signs of a failing fuel pump. That process begins with an explanation of the role and function of the fuel pump, which will help vehicle owners to understand the reasons behind a malfunction. Next, we'll detail common symptoms, everything from engine misfires to cars that won't start. By the end of this guide, car and truck owners will understand what symptoms to look for in their own vehicles. All About Fuel Pumps The fuel pump is an essential component of any vehicle with an internal combustion engine, principally, cars, SUVs, and trucks or even a hybrid diesel. A malfunctioning fuel pump delivers too much or too little fuel from the gas tank. While you're scratching your head looking at a full fuel gauge, an engine starved of gas will leave you stranded in the garage or on the side of the road."

"text": "\"How to Prime Fuel to My RV Generatorby John Cagney Nash Many owners of recreational vehicles, or RVs, experience difficulty starting their remote and on-board generators. Problems occur so frequently that the RVer community has coined the nickname \"\"trolls\"\" to describe generators. Cummins-Onan, Generac-Guardian and Powermate are the three major generator manufacturers to the RV industry, and all the generators experience prime issues if not properly cared for. An engine's \"\"prime\"\" refers to the presence of usable fuel in the carburetor float bowl. If prime is lost, new fuel must be drawn from the fuel tank and the float bowl must be filled before the generator will start. Check the level in the fuel tank. The fuel level must be above the location of the take-off outlet to the generator fuel line, which is usually about a third of the way up from the bottom. Check the inline fuse. Generators are typically started with a spring-loaded rocker switch, properly called a \"\"momentary push\"\" switch. The prime circuit is protected by a fail-safe 5-amp fuse."

The tractor started and ran just fine. She then turned the tractor off and went to move a fallen branch. When she tried to restart the tractor, the engine wouldn't turn over. I replaced the battery a couple of months ago so it seems unlikely to me that it would be the problem. Immediately after replacing the battery, I had a problem with the tractor's kill switch, which is located under the seat. Adjusting the seat seemed to take care of this issue at the time, but now I'm at something of a loss. I've never had any electrical or fuel system problems with this tractor, so I'm not really sure where to begin to diagnose the problem."

January 6, 2017 kurt lee Creative, Education, Information Technology, Support, Technical, Technology, Uncategorized Are you interested in learning, teaching, and education, but prefer a non-classroom role that focuses more on interaction with adult professionals than with students? If this sounds appealing, becoming an instructional designer could be the right match for your career ambitions. Instructional designers are highly skilled experts who play a central role in shaping the curriculum, testing requirements, teaching materials, and even teaching methods that are used in public school classrooms and other learning environments. Though these jobs are highly demanding and require extensive formal education, they are also prestigious and well compensated positions. Instructional designer: Day-to-day duties The everyday job responsibilities of an instructional designer can vary significantly. On a general level, instructional designers are charged with the task of helping to create and implement educational curricula, so the specific duties assigned to this role can be virtually any task that helps achieve the larger goal. This can include activities such as analyzing test scores, observing classroom instruction, evaluating textbooks, assessing classroom technology, training teachers and administrators, and helping to implement and execute any new programs or technologies. Although there are some instructional designers who are generalists, many school systems now prefer to hire instructional designers who specialize in particular subject areas, especially those identified as core subject areas under curricular requirements. Instructional designer: Education requirements Because of the high-level responsibilities given to instructional designers, most positions in this field require substantial formal education."

Badrul Khan [BK]: A successful e-learning system involves a systematic process of planning, design, development, evaluation, and implementation to create an online environment where learning is actively fostered and supported. An e-learning system should be meaningful not only to learners, but also to all stakeholder groups, including instructors, support services staff, and the institution. For example, an e-learning system is meaningful to learners when it is easily accessible, well-designed, learner-centered, affordable, efficient, flexible, and has a facilitated learning environment.

Let's imagine a design where we have an educational program where we would like to look at a variety of program variations to see which works best. For instance, we would like to vary the amount of time the children receive instruction with one group getting 1 hour of instruction per week and another getting 4 hours per week. And, we'd like to vary the setting with one group getting the instruction in-class (probably pulled off into a corner of the classroom) and the other group being pulled-out of the classroom for instruction in another room. We could think about having four separate groups to do this, but when we are varying the amount of time in instruction, what setting would we use: in-class or pull-out? And, when we were studying setting, what amount of instruction time would we use: 1 hour, 4 hours, or something else? With factorial designs, we don't have to compromise when answering these questions. We can have it both ways if we cross each of our two time in instruction conditions with each of our two settings. Let's begin by doing some defining of terms. In factorial designs, a factor is a major independent variable."

A talk-aloud protocol, attitude survey, performance assessment, and direct observation were used to gather data. While the expert designers used the tool, they used it as a word processor with a rich database of instructional strategies. The novice designers relied on the tool for advice, guidance, and assistance in completing all the design tasks. Non-designers used the tool for learning about design. The novice designer is likely to gain more benefit from using the tool than a naı¨ve or expert designer. Novice designers can use the tool to reinforce their prior knowledge as well as filling in any gaps in the knowledge of the design process. Based on this study, we might expect the use of an automated tool to diminish as the designer gains experience. Non-designers should probably be trained on instructional design tasks prior to exposure to automated instructional design tools."

It's nearly impossible to cover all the bases, but I'm going to try anyway. And get a bucket of popcorn ready—because this is going to be long. Any modern system works on the basis of good abstractions, i.e. simpler modules on top of which more complex things are built. In my opinion, the modern processor can be broken down into the following very broad layers: Devices (transistors)Circuits Logic gates Simple logic blocks Processor Software To begin with, let us start from a \"\"middle ground,\"\" one which is neither too complicated to understand nor too far from an actual processor: the logic gate. A logic gate will take some number of inputs, all of which are 0 or 1, and will output one bit which is again 0 or 1 according to some rule. For example, an AND gate will output 1 only if all its inputs are 1. You might now start questioning me \"\"But what do you mean by 0 and 1? What does that mean in terms of electricity?\"\". The answer is fantastically complicated."

Introduction The California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) is the authorizing agency for teachers in California. The California Department of Education (CDE) administers and oversees state and federal programs, and regulations to support schools, including programs for ELs. State and federal statutes, regulations, local policies, student population, grade level, the content of a course being taught, and the instructional approach all will determine what authorizations a teacher is required to possess. A teacher assigned to ELs will need an authorization for instruction to ELs in addition to authorization in the content area of instruction. The authorization is based on the rights and needs of the students to an appropriate education. ELs require English language development (ELD) and specially designed academic instruction in English (SDAIE). In addition, EL students whose parents have applied for and been granted a waiver require primary language instruction (L1). These three services (ELD, SDAIE, and L1) must be provided by teachers authorized for such instruction until these students are reclassified as English proficient."

Like in-class instruction, the efficacy of teaching is evidenced by evidence that students have improved their knowledge, understanding, procedural and cogntive skills as a result of the learning experiences. Online courses present challneges that traditional in-class instruction does not present. The following tutorial will address: Pros and Cons of Online Instruction Structure and Design of Online Instruction Online Engagement and Interaction Link to San Francisco State University Academic Technology' Modes of Instruction Link to San Francisco State University Academic Technology Pros and Cons of Online Instruction Over one half of colleges nationally report that on-line learning is an essential component of their program offerings (Carlson, 2004), and hybrid courses—often regarded as the “best of both worlds,” have the fastest growing enrollment in higher education, and are lauded for their convenience and capacity to facilitate interaction (Poirier, 2010). Technology enriches independent learning by allowing for mass and instant communication and research that taps millions of sources via search engines. Online courses remain controversial as some question whether the quality of instruction in hybrid courses is the same as that found in face-to-face courses (Benhunan-Fich & Arbaugh, 2006; Robinson & Hullinger, 2008). Distance learning has many strengths and limitations (Astani, Ready, & Duplaga, 2010; Guidera, 2003; Grandzol & Grandzol, 2010; Jackson and Helms, 2008; Meyer, 2003; Robinson and Hullinger, 2008; Rourke & Kanuka, 2007). Strengths: Ease of communication between students and peers and professors Ease of networking for future employment Immediacy of on-line formats Students generally believe online courses are just as robust and satisfying as face-to-face More opportunity to participate in class discussions Prompt feedback on student work Limitations: Students do not get to know either their peers or their instructors as well as they do in face-to-face classes More communication problems and misunderstandings Limited instructor’s insights to the material and examples or complex ideas Teacher-student interaction is limited in courses with large enrollment Difficulty understanding tone and attitude of what is posted in forums Some find hybrids lack sufficient structure and thus lack clear expectations Instructors bear a great deal of responsibility for student learning, which means instructors are obligated to do more than deliver vast quantities of declarative knowledge to students, they are also called upon to engage students in activities likely to build cognitive and technical skills, prompt deep reflection on the meaning and significance of learning, and apply knowledge to given problems, tasks, or conditions (Bain, 2010; Barr & Tagg, 1995; Fink, 2002; Laurillard, 2002). Technology supports student engagement, but the richness and value of opportunities to engage is determined largely by choices instructors make when designing courses."

Do Instructional Designers Need a Degree? There is an ongoing debate within the instructional design community as to whether a degree is needed to be most effective in this field. Sure, having a solid foundation in learning theory and cognitive science enables the designer to adapt learning strategies to varied audiences and content. On the other hand, there are degreed instructional designers who create poor learning products. Perhaps what is most important is that the instructional designer is a self-didact.

"text": "There are four steps required to become a claims analyst: post-secondary education, related work experience, apply for a job in an insurance company, and complete the job interview process. A claims analyst works in an insurance company, reviewing claims data for a specific type of coverage. The vast majority of the day is spent working with data analyst software, reviewing the overall trends and providing reports to management. A claims analyst does not typically have any interaction with clients, as this is done by the claims processor. People who are detail-oriented, enjoy working with numbers, and like exploring multiple scenarios find the greatest satisfaction as a claims analyst. Most communication is in writing, with very little discussion or need for presentation skills in this role. The different options and scenarios can become repetitive, but there are also opportunities to explore new patterns and trends through the use of advanced analysis techniques. The first requirement to become a claims analyst is to obtain a college diploma or university degree. There is no specific program for a claims analyst, but training in accounting, business, math, and statistics are all very helpful in this career. While a college diploma may be acceptable to become a claims analyst, advancement opportunities in the insurance industry often require a university degree."

"text": "With mortgage interest rates at historic lows, many consumers are looking to take the plunge into homeownership, and with good reason. Over the long haul, purchasing a home is typically a good investment. However, the process of buying a house can be time-consuming, stressful and expensive. After sweating through negotiations over the price of the home, enduring the home inspection, forking over the down payment money and signing all the paperwork, the last thing most new homeowners want to think about is shelling out more cash for a homeowner's insurance policy. Neda Jafarzadeh But before you pass on this important product, take a look at these commonly asked questions about homeowner's insurance: What does homeowner's insurance cover? In general, homeowner's insurance covers damage to your home caused by fire, theft and certain natural disasters. Depending on where you live, you may need to purchase additional coverage for insurance from floods and earthquakes, as these potentially devastating events are not covered in most basic policies. Homeowner's insurance also protects you from liability in the event someone is injured in your home. When deciding whether to purchase a homeowner's insurance policy, keep in mind the policy can save you thousands, possibly millions, of dollars if your home is damaged or destroyed or someone attempts to sue you after being hurt in your home.

Whether you’re at fault or not at fault in an accident, changes in your rates vary by insurance company and by state, says Penny Gusner, consumer analyst for Insure.com. In addition to worrying if your rate will increase, you may also wonder what to do after an accident. It’s wise to exchange the following information with the other driver: name, name of car owner, names of passengers, vehicle make, model and license plate number and the insurance company name, policy number and number for claims filing. Call the police, and if possible, get a police report. How much does an at-fault accident raise your rates? An accident where you're blamed makes pricier premiums much more likely, but not in every situation with every company, Gusner says, which is why it’s prudent to shop for the best rates by doing a car insurance comparison. \"\" One at-fault accident could raise your rates anywhere from 10 percent to 40 percent -- or not at all,\"\" she says. \"\" Some insurers will let one minor accident slide."

"text": "\"Health Insurance Medicine and Healthcare How long does it take to get reimbursed from insurance?6 Answers Shana Sweeney, Benefits manager/analyst in high tech industry Answered Jun 18, 2012 · Author has 131 answers and 572.8k answer views There are a couple of factors that go into how quickly someone gets reimbursed. I'm not totally clear if you are wondering how quickly a plan participant gets reimbursed or how quickly a physician gets reimbursed so I'll address both. Assuming you get in-network care, you are not due any money back as your provider bills the insurance directly and gets reimbursed directly from them. The amount of time that it takes for a provider to get reimbursed varies, as Aaron mentioned, based on:the amount of the billthe reputation of the provider/place of service,the services providedif the provider submitted the claim electronically or not. For a simple office visit that is submitted electronically, the claims is generally processed within 72 hours and the provider is reimbursed on a specific day of the week based on the tax ID number. ( It's an odd system - as an example - tax ids that start between 1-3 will get paid on Mon, 4-5 will be Tues, etc) If that same claim is submitted via paper, it takes significantly longer and reimbursement would probably be processed in 15-30 days. If the claim is a costly and lengthier claim for something like a hospital stay, you should assume at least an extra 30 days. If the amount is high, the claim will typically go through a secondary review process which is what adds the additional time. If the claim is from a provider that has a bad reputation or is under investigation, it can take months and months. I've seen them floating in limbo for 9 months to 1 year."

To find our top pick, we consulted auto industry experts and compared 41 providers to see which had the strongest history of financial stability and customer satisfaction. In the end, we found two picks that outperformed the rest. Best Overall Endurance With thorough plans for new and old cars, we like the coverage Endurance provides. Out of all the options we compared, it offered the best mixture of transparency, financial stability, and customer service — meaning you'll get a warranty you can trust. Another to Consider Easy Care The insurer backing its policies has a higher financial strength rating than the one backing our top pick. But strict eligibility requirements and less transparency kept it from the top spot. That said, it's still a stable company that can offer reliable protection for new car owners. The Best Extended Car Warranty Endurance Best Overall Easy Care Another to Consider Editor's Note While car insurance protects you from the cost of external damage, such as an accident or hail, an extended car warranty covers the cost of mechanical breakdowns — think: fixing timing belts or transmission mounts.

"text": "What underwriting analysts do can be compared with putting together a jigsaw puzzle -- piecing together the information on a credit or insurance application to create the big picture. When the puzzle is complete, insurers and financial institutions know whether an applicant will make them money or cost them money. Risky Business If you've ever wondered why a business credit application asks questions about a spouse who is not involved with the business, or a car insurance application asks whether you smoke, then you've seen underwriting analysis at work. All those questions boil down to one thing: an applicant's potential risk to cost the insurer or lender money. Both employ underwriting analysts to weigh that risk against the prospect of income for the company, using criteria directly related to the applicant, and statistical criteria that may include demographic information and projected performance. Putting It All Together Every question on an insurance or credit application is designed not just to gather information about the applicant in question, but to open up larger channels of information that allow underwriters to gauge risk. Smoking, for instance, can be seen as a risk-taking behavior that might also shed light on risky driving habits. Knowing how many claims the insurer has paid out in the past to drivers who smoke, then, helps the underwriter to determine how likely the insurer is to pay a claim on the applicant. Analyzing for Insurance Insurance underwriting analysts are the link between the computer screen or insurance agent and the insurance company, making the decision about whether to insure an applicant. The type of data that underwriting analysts gather and analyze depends upon the type of insurance."

"text": "Human resource analysts typically collect data, prepare reports, and give advice in the realm of employee relations and benefits. Most companies and businesses have human resources, or HR, departments that handle pretty much all aspects of the employee-employer relationship. This can include hiring practices, payroll and benefits decisions, and promotions and terminations, among other things. The biggest thing that differentiates an analyst from an ordinary administrator is the focus on overarching data interpretation. Where an administrator is usually charged with setting and enforcing policies, the analyst looks at how well they’re working and how they align with the policies of other similar companies in the region or sector. Some large companies keep analysts on staff to keep tabs on regular functioning and to look for everyday efficiencies. More often, these professionals work for consulting firms and are hired on a per-project basis, usually for businesses looking for occasional audits and review. Analysts in either capacity typically do similar work, and their main focus areas usually encompass benefits, compensation, recruitment, and legal compliance. Role Within HR Generally A human resource analyst typically works closely with the personnel and staff of the HR department with an eye to understanding and maximizing processes and evaluation standards. Also known as HR specialists, these workers may be entry-level or they may be more senior-level HR professionals who therefore have more and more important responsibilities."

A commonly asked question is “can you get money back on term life insurance?” Nobody wants to make payments on a contract and see nothing in response at the end. Term life insurance pays out when the policyholder dies, and the beneficiaries file a valid claim. However, most people want something that pays back while they are still alive. The standard term life insurance policy does not have cash value accumulation. However, you can consider a return of premium rider. Alternatively, you can convert the coverage to whole life so that you can borrow against the assets, or cash it in when the need arises. Return of premium pros and cons Options for accumulating cash value Return of Premium Term Life Insurance Pros and Cons Term life insurance with a return of premium rider allows the owner to get his or her money back at the end of the contract period. The return of premium rider allows the owner to cancel the policy and get back a portion of the paid in premiums."

Each refers to a specific type of group health insurance plan, and while both offer employers options to avoid ACA penalties, they have very different meanings and insurance protection for employees. First, a brief refresher on employer mandate penalties …The “Sub A” annual excise tax penalty of $2,000 is assessed on an Applicable Large Employer’s (ALE’s) entire count of full-time employees (minus the first 80 in 2015 and the first 30 in 2016 and beyond) if the ALE does not provide a group health insurance plan to enough of its full-time employees and dependents, and at least one full-time employee buys subsidized health insurance through the Marketplace. “ Enough ” equates to 70% of full-time employees in 2015 and 95% in 2016 and beyond. This is often referred to as the $2,000 penalty. For Applicable Large Employers that offer coverage to at least 95% of their full-time employees and dependents (or at least 70% in 2015), the “Sub B” annual excise tax penalty of $3,000 is applied for each individual full-time employee who buys subsidized health insurance through the Marketplace. This is often referred to as the $3,000 penalty. Minimum Essential Coverage MEC stands for Minimum Essential Coverage and includes preventive care and wellness benefits only. Through an ACA loophole, Applicable Large Employers can offer self-funded, low-cost MEC plans (priced under $100 per employee per month) and satisfy the employer mandate to offer a group plan, thus avoiding the $2,000 penalty, but remaining open to the $3,000 penalty. MEC plans also satisfy the individual mandate for employees."

"title": "http://www.wisegeek.org/what-is-an-insurance-declaration-page.htm\nWhat is an Insurance Declaration Page?",
"text": "An insurance declaration page is a piece of paper which provides basic information about an insurance policy. Typically, the first page of an insurance policy is a declaration page, and people can also receive a copy as a standalone item. The declaration page is not the same thing as the proof of insurance which people may be required to carry with a vehicle or present when they want to make a claim on a health insurance policy. The proof of insurance carries some of the details of the declaration page, but it is less detailed. Essentially, the insurance declaration page is like a quick guide to the insurance policy, providing all of the basic information the policyholder needs to know. It includes the name and address of the insurance agency, with information about the issuing agent, and it includes the contact information for the insured individual. It also states what is insured, for how much, under which circumstances, and for how long. For example, a car insurance declaration document might declare that a vehicle has comprehensive insurance for the dates of 1 January 1969 through 1 January 1970. Ad The declaration page also includes endorsements, additions to the policy beyond the basic coverage already described. To use the example of car insurance again, the insurance policy could state that the car also has an auto glass endorsement, specifically covering damage to the windows, and a towing package, which will cover towing of the vehicle in the event that it is disabled."

"text": "\"In This Entry Legal Training Building a Practice Land and the Law Three Cases Law and Liberties Law Reform Time Line Further Reading Share It Legal Training Portrait of George Wythe Jefferson attended the College of William and Mary, in Williamsburg, from 1760 to 1762. After ending his studies, he was back in Williamsburg by 1763, this time to study law. No formal law schools existed at the time; instead, students spent years serving as apprentices or clerks to established attorneys. Jefferson studied under George Wythe, with whom he had formed a close bond while in college. An eminent lawyer with liberal views on religion, slavery, and republicanism, Wythe saw little benefit in the drudgery of traditional legal training and preferred to have his students read law reports and foundational English legal writings, such as those by Sir Edward Coke. ( Jefferson later came to strongly dislike the commentaries of Sir William Blackstone, insisting that American law was being degraded by the increasing use of that work, at the expense of Coke, in the training of lawyers.) Wythe paired this academic foundation with the practical training necessary to understand how Virginia landowners managed their own affairs and those of the colony. He accomplished the latter by sending his students to observe cases being argued before the General Court and by supervising moot-court exercises. These two aspects of Jefferson's legal training—the study of law as political philosophy and as practical grounding for the management of plantation property —served Jefferson's gentry clients well, but they also shaped Jefferson's intellectual and political roles in nation-building. In the decades to come, the law played a critical role in Jefferson's project to create, as he wrote in his Autobiography (1821), a \"\"system by which every fibre would be eradicated of antient or future aristocracy; and a foundation laid for a government truly republican. \"\""

Nicholas Kristof, previously famous for his hilarious fever dreams about a mysterious underclass of Kentucky welfare cheats, wrote a somewhat similar column, drawing upon the same tropes and no new analysis. Elizabeth Stoker Bruenig, Paul Krugman, and Jeff Spross push back, noting, among other things, that poverty can be dealt with in other proven ways and that impoverishment, the demise of good working class jobs, and precariousness are themselves at the root of a lot of relationship strife. There is a problem in this entire debate that nobody ever seems to grapple with, and that is: what exactly is meant by asking what \"\"causes\"\" poverty? What exactly is being communicated when someone says X, whether that's declining morals or family values or whatever else, causes poverty? This might seem like a tedious question, but it's actually the most crucial question in the debate. Elderly Would it be correct, for instance, for me to say old age causes poverty? On first take, I guess the answer would be no, or not really."

The courts must enforce a valid contract as it is made, unless there are grounds that bar its enforcement.

Copied Select a Section 1 /0The new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), created by the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, is living up to its billing as one of the most powerful—and unaccountable—federal agencies ever created. [ 1] After just 18 months—and with a staff exceeding 1,000 and funding of $600 million—the bureau is restructuring the mortgage market; devising restrictions on credit bureaus, education loans, overdraft policies, payday lenders, credit card plans and prepaid cards; and amassing unverified complaints with which to assail creditors and bankers. This inordinate control over consumer finance is constraining credit and harming the economy. Prior to passage of Dodd–Frank, authority for some 50 rules and orders stemming from 18 consumer protection laws was divided among seven agencies. [ 2] Title X of the act consolidated this authority within the CFPB, while granting the agency unparalleled, radical powers over virtually every consumer financial product and service. The bureau was designed to evade the checks and balances that apply to most other regulatory agencies. Its very structure invites expansive rulemaking, [3] as does its misappropriation of the emergent theory of behavioral economics that drives bureau decision making. It deems consumers prone to financial irrationality and thus ill-equipped to act in their self-interest. Consequently, the CFPB is compelled to intervene in consumers’ personal financial transactions."

"text": "Car Insurance & Loans Policy Fundamentals What is an Insurance Renewal? Help Understanding Renewals Share Flip Pin Email•••By Emily Delbridge Updated March 27, 2018An insurance renewal is the standard length of time an insurance policy is in effect without the insurance company adjusting your rate. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule, and it is possible for your rate to change shortly after purchasing a new policy if you do not meet underwriting guidelines. But, once you are through the initial policy period your insurance rate should stay the same through each policy renewal unless you make a change. You will receive a declaration page along with other information explaining your policy. New proofs of insurance are usually enclosed with the renewal information. When Does an Insurance Policy Renew? The renewal date of your insurance policy is based on the date your policy took effect. So it could actually take place on any day of the year depending on when you originally started the policy. The other factor in determining your renewal date is the length of your policy period."

Not many people enjoy visits to the dentist, but some people consider root canals to be the most painful of dental procedures. Fortunately, people who have undergone the procedure know that this is mostly false. In fact, root canals relieve pain, soreness and sensitivity caused by the inflamed pulp inside the tooth. For others, the pain of a root canal is felt in the wallet rather than the mouth. Costs of dental procedures can be expensive, especially for those who do not have dental insurance and must pay the expenses out of pocket. So, how much does a root canal cost? Prices vary depending on the dentist, location and condition of the tooth. By understanding what the procedure entails, patients can estimate the cost of their root canal treatment."

Some regard abortion as something people should be able to choose while others say abortion is a great evil which is destroying the moral fabric of society. Many of the debates turn on the status of the fetus: Is a fetus a person? Does a fetus have moral or legal rights? How we define a person and the fetus may decide the abortion debates. Homo Sapiens The simplest definition of a person may be \"\"a member of the species homo sapiens, the human species.\"\" The fetus obviously has the same DNA as everyone else and can't possibly be classified as any species other than homo sapiens, so isn't it obviously a person?

Unfortunately, most people are only interested in how much these fees are, and have no idea how they work or who even pays them once a transaction is complete. Here we take a look at some of the more universal principles of real estate fees. TUTORIAL: How To Buy Your First Home How Much? The commissions paid to real estate agents are negotiable and therefore they vary. Although many people believe that commission is always 6%, a 2004 report by REAL Trends Data showed the average commission rate in the U. S. to be 5.1%. That percentage is a percentage of the sale price of the home, so the exact amount this will entail will not be known until an offer has been accepted and the house is sold. Any commission to a real estate agent must be negotiated as part of the contract between the agent and the buyer or seller before the deal is completed.

Sometimes the judge may decide the case immediately, announce his or her decision in court, and ask the clerk to give the parties the judgment form—called the Notice of Entry of Judgment (Form SC-130)—in the courtroom. Other times, the judge may not decide the case until later.

The judge may take the case under submission, either as a matter of practice, or to review the evidence, research a point of law, or consult an expert. Also, if you forgot to bring an important document or other evidence to court—for example, a written contract— the judge may allow you to bring it in promptly after the hearing so that it can be examined by the judge before a decision is made.

Underwriters may encounter risks with some of the same characteristics or have similar concerns about products-completed operations exposures. We share our analysis of this claim and similar losses, and offer options for insurers seeking a better way to handle the coverage. The claim itself was relatively straightforward, involving allegations of negligent repairs at a customer's residence that led to a bodily injury. The coverage, however, was not so straightforward. Construction Work Sideline The incident had all the makings of a completed operations loss. It occurred at a location away from the described premises, arose out of the insured's work and happened after the work was completed.

Crowns are typically used to restore the shape, size and/or appearance of a misshapen, discolored or broken tooth; to strengthen a weak tooth; or to cover root canals, implants or the teeth that anchor either end of a dental bridge. Crowns can be made from porcelain (a dental ceramic), metal or a combination called porcelain-fused-to-metal. Typical costs: The cost of a dental crown depends on the materials used; the size, location and condition of the tooth; local rates; and the dentist's training and experience. Dental insurance might cover about 50% of the cost if the crown is needed for medical reasons, but dental crowns are typically not covered if they are considered cosmetic, and many dental plans have a maximum annual coverage limit of $1,000-$1,500. Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns can cost $500-$1,500 or more per tooth. For example, Cost Helper readers without insurance coverage report paying $875-$1,400 for porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns, at an average cost of $1,093. Cost Helper readers with insurance report out-of-pocket expenses of $282-$1,000, with an average payment of $618. Metal crowns of gold alloy (called high noble metal) or of base metal alloys (non-noble) can cost $600-$2,500 or more per tooth.

Depending upon the constitutional documents of the company, only certain classes of shares may be entitled to bonus issues, or may be entitled to bonus issues in preference to other classes. A bonus issue (or scrip issue) is a stock split in which a company issues new shares without charge in order to bring its issued capital in line with its employed capital (the increased capital available to the company after profits). This usually happens after a company has made profits, thus increasing its employed capital. Therefore, a bonus issue can be seen as an alternative to dividends.

As a result, the plant exhibits a reaction of phototropism--directional growth (2.) toward the light stimulus In physiology, a stimulus (plural stimuli) is a detectable change in the internal or external environment. The ability of an organism or organ to respond to external stimuli is called sensitivity. When a stimulus is applied to a sensory receptor, it normally elicits or influences a reflex via stimulus transduction. These sensory receptors can receive information from outside the body, as in touch receptors found in the skin or light receptors in the eye, as well as from inside the body, as in chemoreceptors and mechanoreceptors. An internal stimulus is often the first component of a homeostatic control system. External stimuli are capable of producing systemic responses throughout the body, as in the fight-or-flight response. In order for a stimulus to be detected with high probability, its level must exceed the absolute threshold; if a signal does reach threshold, the information is transmitted to the central nervous system (CNS), where it is integrated and a decision on how to react is made."

"text": "\"For as long as human beings can remember, they have always been interested in what makes them who they are and what aspects of their being set each of them apart from others of their species. The answer according to behaviorists is nothing more than the world in which they grew up. Behaviorism is the theory that human nature can be fully understood by the laws inherent in the natural environment. As one of the oldest theories of personality, behaviorism dates back to Descartes, who introduced the idea of a stimulus and called the person a machine dependent on external events whose soul was the ghost in the machine. Behaviorism takes this idea to another level. Although most theories operate to some degree on the assumption that humans have some sort of free will and are moral thinking entities, behaviorism refuses to acknowledge the internal workings of persons. In the mind of the behaviorist, persons are nothing more than simple mediators between behavior and the environment (Skinner, 1993, p 428). The dismissal of the internal workings of human beings leads to one problem opponents have with the behavioral theory. This, along with its incapability of explaining the human phenomenon of language and memory, build a convincing case against behaviorism as a comprehensive theory. Yet although these criticisms indicate its comprehensive failure, they do not deny that behaviorism and its ideas have much to teach the world about the particular behaviors expressed by humankind."

The behaviorist movement began in 1913 when John Watson wrote an article entitled 'Psychology as the behaviorist views it,' which set out a number of underlying assumptions regarding methodology and behavioral analysis: Basic Assumptions All behavior is learned from the environment: Behaviorism emphasizes the role of environmental factors in influencing behavior, to the near exclusion of innate or inherited factors. This amounts essentially to a focus on learning. We learn new behavior through classical or operant conditioning (collectively known as 'learning theory'). Therefore, when born our mind is 'tabula rasa' (a blank slate). Psychology should be seen as a science: Theories need to be supported by empirical data obtained through careful and controlled observation and measurement of behavior. Watson (1913) stated that:'Psychology as a behaviorist views it is a purely objective experimental branch of natural science. Its theoretical goal is … prediction and control.' ( p. 158)."

"text": "Basic Principles of Operant Conditioning: Thorndike’s Law of Effect Thorndike’s law of effect states that behaviors are modified by their positive or negative consequences. Learning Objectives Relate Thorndike’s law of effect to the principles of operant conditioning Key Takeaways Key Points The law of effect states that responses that produce a satisfying effect in a particular situation become more likely to occur again, while responses that produce a discomforting effect are less likely to be repeated. Edward L. Thorndike first studied the law of effect by placing hungry cats inside puzzle boxes and observing their actions. He quickly realized that cats could learn the efficacy of certain behaviors and would repeat those behaviors that allowed them to escape faster. The law of effect is at work in every human behavior as well. From a young age, we learn which actions are beneficial and which are detrimental through a similar trial and error process. While the law of effect explains behavior from an external, observable point of view, it does not account for internal, unobservable processes that also affect the behavior patterns of human beings. Key Terms Law of Effect: A law developed by Edward L. Thorndike that states, “responses that produce a satisfying effect in a particular situation become more likely to occur again in that situation, and responses that produce a discomforting effect become less likely to occur again in that situation. ”behavior modification: The act of altering actions and reactions to stimuli through positive and negative reinforcement or punishment.trial and error: The process of finding a solution to a problem by trying many possible solutions and learning from mistakes until a way is found. Operant conditioning is a theory of learning that focuses on changes in an individual’s observable behaviors."

Who were the important people in those early fields? ◦Who were the important people behind the Gestalt, psychoanalytic and behaviorism approaches? The Greek philosophers Socrates (469-399 BC) and Plato (428-348 BC) believed that we are born with innate knowledge of the world and that the mind and the body exist as two distinct entities, a contention called dualism. Aristotle (384-322 BC), used careful observations to conclude that the mind is not separate from the body (monism) and that we accumulate knowledge through our experiences. Rene Descartes (1595-1650) and John Locke (1632-1704), supported mind/body dualism (Cognito ergo sum - \"\"I think, therefore I am.\"\") and maintained that humans are born with knowledge. Wilhelm Wundt (1832-1920) is credited with creating the first experimental psychology laboratory and trained his students to analyze their thoughts, sensations, and perceptions through objective introspection. To understand the elements of the mind, psychologists need to measure and analyze their own thoughts and perceptions. Along with his student, Edward Titchener (1867-1927), Wundt founded structuralism, the belief that every thought or perception can be broken down into separate emotions and sensations."

"text": "Chapter-7 Control and Coordination A system of control and coordination is essential in living organisms sothat the different body parts can function as a single unit to maintain homeostasis as well as respond to various stimuli. ( Human homeostasis refers to the body's ability to regulate physiologically its inner environment to ensure its stability in response to fluctuations in the outside environment and the weather. Homeo=same and stasis=standing still) To carry out a simple function such as picking up an object from the ground there has to be coordination of the eyes, hands, legs and the vertebral column. The eyes have to focus on the object, the hands have to pick it up and grasp it, the legs have to bend and so does the back bone (vertebral column). All these actions have to be coordinated in such a manner that they follow a particular sequence and the action is completed. A similar mechanism is also needed for internal functions of the body. In animals, the nervous system, hormonal system and muscular system are responsible for control and coordination. Neurons are specialized cells of the nervous system. They use electrical and chemical signals for transferring information. They specialise in conducting information."

Behaviorism is a branch of psychology. It is the study of stimulus-response relationships. Behavior is a response to a stimulus. The American school of Behaviorism was initially developed by John Watson . According to Watson, thinking and intentions were internal processes that could not be observed and therefore should not be studied. Only observable behaviors are of interest to scientific study. Through experiments with animals, B. F. Skinner developed the theory of operant conditioning. Operant conditioning is “learning in which voluntary behavior is strengthened or weakened by consequences or antecedents” (Wolford, p.205)."

Each neuron is like a cog or gear that affects others in chains and networks. Light or sound is at the start of one set of chains, setting the device in motion (or, more accurately, altering the motion -- the brain is always active). The reaction of the mind/body is the whole change of state -- in which neural \"\"gears\"\" as well as bodily \"\"gears\"\" shift. So in reaction to a sound or a visual stimulus, your brain state changes, and this can cause changes in your muscles and internal organs. These changes are the measurable (though not always directly visible) reactions to stimuli. Alternatively you could use a hydrodynamic metaphor: the brain is like a network of rivers, with tributaries, distributaries, channels and canals. Visual or sound stimuli create waves in particular streams and rivulets, and these waves travel through the network, merging with other streams. The various \"\"downstream\"\" effects of the initial stimulus-driven waves constitute the mind-body reaction."

Cognitive psychologists try to build up cognitive models of the information processing that goes on inside people’s minds, including perception, attention, language, memory, thinking, and consciousness. Cognitive psychology became of great importance in the mid-1950s. Several factors were important in this: Disatisfaction with the behaviorist approach in its simple emphasis on external behavior rather than internal processes. The development of better experimental methods. Comparison between human and computer processing of information. The emphasis of psychology shifted away from the study of conditioned behavior and psychoanalytical notions about the study of the mind, towards the understanding of human information processing, using strict and rigorous laboratory investigation. Basic Assumptions Thought influences behaviour. Thought acts as mediational processes between stimulus and behavioural response: Behaviourists rejected the idea of studying the mind because internal mental processes cannot be observed and objectively measured."

"text": "\"By Ben Stewart Jul 17, 2006 164Why can't the world's car companies make a vehicle that gets 100 mpg? Automotive technology keeps improving and people keep asking the question, but—as with fusion reactors and comprehensible phone bills—the reality always seems to be just a few years away. Sure, student engineers have achieved 2000 mpg in design contests, but those vehicles have been exercises in automotive minimalism, not practical everyday cars. Steve Lapp, a professor from Ontario, says the moment has nearly arrived. \"\" I've actually gotten over 100 mpg on some trips in my 2001 Toyota Prius,\"\" he says. The secret? He mounted solar panels on the car's roof to keep the batteries charged when the sun is shining. If Lapp, a backyard big thinker, can get triple-digit mileage occasionally, why can't the world's carmakers hit the mark on every drive? Recently, they've come close—in Europe. The Volkswagen Lupo 3L turbodiesel and the Audi A2, which use the same engine, have both edged close to 80 mpg."

Some models have a different variations of the key with different features. Call your local Mercedes dealer to find out. Additionally, from experience I learned that it can be far better to order key through dealer. The key is custom made using YOUR car's VIN#. These keys are laser cut and precision is critical and can be difficult for locksmiths. Also, the cost can actually be MORE to have key made by someone other than Mercedes dealer. [ ex. after tax my replacement from local locksmith was over $37 , it would have been just over $20 through dealer ] some have been charged for the same key $50-$60 range]. BUT , as I was unaware of laser cutting issues, my locks ended up not working with a bad cut , which cost me the replacement of door lock, which was significantly more.2 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

While electric cars are certainly cheaper to operate than gas vehicles, gasoline offers much better efficiency. Though there are other costs to be considered. This article will address typical costs associated with electric, gasoline, as well as hybrid vehicles. Electric vs. Gasoline: The Initial Costs Electric cars have decreased in price considerably over the last 10 to 15 years. However, some electric cars still remain very expensive. Today electric cars can be purchased in the $10,000 to $15,000 price range for very basic entry models, and go all the way up to over $110,000 for some of the most advanced models. This is similar to many vehicles that use gasoline engines as well. The similarities and costs seem to stop at the initial purchase price."

"text": "Knowledge Base : Tutorials : Charging Articles : Make the Bad Sulfation Go Away!Make the Bad Sulfation Go Away!Share Tweet Share Share Pin Copy Link Sulfation (sul-fay-shun), the number one cause of early battery failures, can be safely reversed, using high frequency electronic pulses. Unlike other pulse type chargers that claim this or similar sounding features, VDC’s Battery MINDers® use a range of high frequencies. This ensures both old and newly formed sulfation will be safely dissolved in the shortest possible time. Using just one fixed frequency may remove some, but not all, especially long established–hardened sulfate crystals. These U. S. Patented methods are truly unique. They “dissolve” the sulfate rather than “destroying” or shaking it loose. By generating just the needed range of frequencies and avoiding high voltages, we eliminate potential damage to the batteries storage plates known as “flaking”. The sulfuric acid, the major ingredient in a sulfate crystal, can then easily pass into the electrolyte (liquid, gel or absorbed type). This immediately raises its specific gravity and frees the storage plates to now accept a fuller charge. It does this in the shortest possible time, without developing excessive heat."

Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: You can purchase a alternator for that vehicle from 100-150 bucks and the core value, this means you have to give them your old alternator as a core value or give them 25-35 bucks for the core until you give them the old alternator. Note most alternators you will find out there are rebuilt alternators even though they may advertise them as new so be sure to ask the sales rep exactly what they are selling and what kind of warranty they offer. The prices I quoted you are off the autozone.com site and I suspect that the higher priced 133 buck plus taxes, 35 buck core value is a more heavy duty alternator. You should check the alternator/starter rebuild shops bec usually they are cheaper then autozone,plus check the other part stores. The wrecking yards also should have alternators on their shelves or on vehicles that you can purchase for about 35-50 bucks."

Cardiologists A recent statistically significant survey reveals stent preferences and key factors influencing this growing market As the average age of the U. S. population and the number of patients at high risk for cardiovascular disease increase, the usage of coronary stents continues to grow. Interventional cardiologists and registered nurses in the United States were recently asked about their perceptions and attitudes regarding current percutaneous coronary interventional (PCI) procedures and devices. They were also asked their stent brand and drug type preferences. In a statistically significant survey, they divulged which procedures and manufacturers they preferred. This window into micro-level stent usage offers informed insights into the overall market and reveals how dynamics between medical organizations and device manufacturers contribute to market trends. Procedures Performed Cardiologists in the United States perform four times as many PCI procedures as coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) procedures, with an average of 11 each week. The procedure’s popularity has grown since its introduction in the late 1970s for numerous reasons. First, the procedures are performed percutaneously through the lumen of an artery and do not require open surgery. Additionally, they can be completed by many different medical professionals and require only a local anesthetic."

If the transplant goes well, heart function and blood flow will be better than ever. Topics Related to Surgery What is a heart transplant? A heart transplant replaces the patient's heart with a donor heart. Doctors remove the patient's heart by transecting the aorta, the main pulmonary artery and the superior and inferior vena cavae, and dividing the left atrium, leaving the back wall of the left atrium with the pulmonary vein openings in place. The surgeon connects the donor heart by sewing together the recipient and donor vena cavae, aorta, pulmonary artery and left atrium. In patients with congenital heart disease, the surgeon may simultaneous transplant the lungs and the heart. Why is it needed? You may require a heart transplant for several reasons. The most common reason is that one or both ventricles have aren't functioning properly and severe heart failure is present."

Cardiologists treat disease and injury of the heart and cardiovascular system The Cardiologist Job Description can be divided into two parts; Cardiologist and Interventional Cardiologist. A cardiologist is a physician who specializes in diagnosing, treating and preventing diseases of the cardiovascular system, which includes the heart and the blood vessels. The cardiologist is a physician who treats and diagnoses disease and injury of the heart and cardiovascular system. The interventional cardiologist is a physician who performs a variety of invasive tests and procedures to assist in diagnoses of and treatment of cardiac disease. A cardiac or cardio-vascular surgeon can be a cardiologist who specializes in surgical interventions of the heart and vascular system. Or it can be a surgeon who chose to specialize in cardiac surgery. They are highly specialized. Some of the diagnostic tools used by cardiologists include echocardiograms, cardiac catheterizations and exercise tests. Cardiologists specialize in the diagnosis, treatment and intervention of diseases of the heart and cardiovascular system."

"text": "Detection of a Heart Defect in the Fetus Updated: Feb 26,2018What do I do if my child has a heart defect? The finding of a heart defect in the fetus has significant implications for pregnancy management, delivery planning, and diagnosis of abnormalities in other organs. Structural heart defects: Fetal echocardiography can help detect fetal heart abnormalities before birth, allowing for faster medical or surgical intervention once the baby is born if needed. This improves the chance of survival after delivery for babies with serious heart defects. Your pediatric cardiologist will counsel you about the seriousness of the heart defect and tell you what to expect. Some heart defects will not require immediate intervention and the baby can be followed at the delivery hospital and as an outpatient after discharge. Other defects are more serious and require transfer to a hospital with pediatric cardiac surgical services immediately after delivery. In a small number of cases, the condition may be severe enough for the pediatric cardiologist to recommend delivery at a pediatric heart center so that an intervention can be performed within minutes of life. In all cases, these issues should be discussed and planned for during the fetal echocardiography visits. At the current time, prenatal heart surgery and catheterization (balloon procedures) is limited to a small number of conditions and the effectiveness has not been proven."

"text": "\"When is a stent needed? Tough call By Kelly Brewington, The Baltimore Sun Feb 4, 2010When patients are in the throes of a heart attack, there’s no question that stents save lives. But for heart patients with few symptoms and less than severe artery blockage, whether to use a stent is a question with no clear-cut answer, say cardiologists. In fact, these days some heart experts say the mesh metal tubes used to keep narrowed or weakened arteries propped open are overused for blockages that can be treated just as well with medicine, a healthy diet and exercise. A recent internal review of heart patients at St. Joseph Medical Center in Towson, Md., found 369 patients received the coronary implants unnecessarily. Those findings have sparked one lawsuit so far and threats of more to come — while highlighting a debate among cardiologists and confusion among patients over when stents are necessary. So, what’s a patient to do? For those in the middle of a heart attack with unrelenting symptoms, stents are the best option, cardiologists say. But for others, the answers can vary. “It’s not black and white,” said Dr. Mark Hlatky, a professor of cardiovascular medicine at Stanford University. “"

"text": "Heart Heart Stents Still Overused, Experts Say By Anahad O'Connor August 15, 2013 6:00 am A coronary stent. Johnson & Johnson, via Associated Press Every year, more than half a million Americans undergo procedures to have a narrowed coronary artery propped open with a small metal mesh tube, or stent. In an emergency, when someone is having a heart attack, the operation can be lifesaving. But far too often, studies show, stents continue to be implanted in patients who stand to gain little if any benefit. Last month, two of the country’s largest medical organizations identified the procedure commonly used to place a stent — called a percutaneous coronary intervention, or angioplasty — as one of five highly overused medical interventions. Their report focused only on elective procedures performed on patients with stable coronary artery disease, a type that can cause chest pain and other symptoms during physical exertion but generally not at other times. Studies show that in these particular patients, inserting a stent is generally no better at preventing a heart attack or an early death than taking medication alone. And yet many patients continue to undergo such procedures, even when there is the prospect of harm and the unlikelihood of benefit. The two groups that issued the report, the American Medical Association and the Joint Commission, said that roughly 1 in 10 elective angioplasty procedures performed nationwide may be “inappropriate,” and another third questionable. The operation typically costs around $30,000, and in rare circumstances it can cause tears in blood vessel walls, major bleeding and other problems."

[ 1] Variations on the technique were performed over the subsequent century, with formal study of cardiac physiology being performed by Claude Bernard in the 1840s. [ 2]Catheterization of humans [ edit]The technique of angiography itself was first developed in 1927 by the Portuguese physician Egas Moniz at the University of Lisbon for cerebral angiography, the viewing of brain vasculature by X-ray radiation with the aid of a contrast medium introduced by catheter. Cardiac catheterization was first performed when Werner Forssmann, in 1929, created an incision in one of his left antecubital veins and inserted a catheter into his venous system. He then guided the catheter by fluoroscopy into his right atrium. Subsequently, he walked up a flight of stairs to the radiology department and documented the procedure by having a chest roentgenogram performed. [ 3] Over the next year, catheters were placed in a similar manner into the right ventricle, and measurements of pressure and cardiac output (using the Fick principle) were performed. [ 4]In the early 1940s, André Cournand, in collaboration with Dickinson Richards, performed more systematic measurements of the hemodynamics of the heart. ["

At that time the merchants were merely financing their own activities. As international trade grew and other lesser- known names wanted to import goods from abroad, the established merchants ‗lent their names‘ to the newcomers by agreeing to accept bills of exchange on their behalf. The acceptance houses would charge a commission for this service and thus there grew up the business of accepting bills of finance trade not merely of themselves, but of others. Acceptance business thus became and to a degree always has been hallmark of true Merchant Banks. The second historical of Merchant Banks was the raising of capital for foreign Government. In many cases, the Merchant Banks have been trading in the countries concerned and gained the confidence of Governments and other authorities in those countries. Thus the second principal ingredient of Merchant Banking became and still is raising of capital through the issue of stocks and bonds. Therefore, Merchant Banks can be accepting houses or issuing houses or both. Merchant Banking started in the beginning of 20th century in UK and USA."

While investment bankers work mostly with institutional investors, personal bankers work primarily with everyday people. Most of their customers are private citizens of the communities in which the bankers work. Personal banking typically does not pay as well as investment banking and other Wall Street careers, but it offers a significantly better work-life balance, and the hours are much more reasonable. In fact, the term \"\"bankers' hours\"\" was coined to describe the limited hours local bankers are perceived to spend on the job. A typical investment bank features scores of well-heeled Ivy League graduates sitting behind their Bloomberg terminals and talking aggressively, hawking the latest deals into their headsets. The stereotype of an investment banker is an aggressive, well-educated and money-hungry youth. Most personal bankers are cut from a different cloth. While a business degree helps, and an MBA looks even better on a personal banker's resume, a lot of local bank branches care less about educational credentials than about community reputation, networking ability and affability. These banks pride themselves on hometown service and prefer to see hometown bankers meeting and greeting new customers."

"text": "What is an investment bank? An investment bank is a financial institution that assists wealthy individuals, corporations, and governments in raising capital by underwriting and/or acting as the client’s agent in the issuance of securities. An investment bank may also assist companies with mergers and acquisitions and may provide support services in market making and trading of various securities. The primary services of an investment bank include: corporate finance, M&A, equity research, sales & trading, and asset management. Investment banks earn profit by charging fees and commissions for providing these services and other kinds of financial and business advice. How do investment banks help companies in M&A transactions? Investment banks play an important role from the moment companies contemplate an acquisition to the final steps. When a buyer or seller contemplates an acquisition, the respective board of directors may choose to form a special committee to evaluate the merger proposal, and typically retains an investment bank to advise and evaluate the transaction’s terms and price as well as help the acquiring company arrange financing for the deal. To provide meaningful advisory, investment banks create different valuation models to determine valuation ranges for a company. They may also conduct accretion/dilution analysis to assess affordability to the acquirer and the effect of the consideration paid on projected earnings per share."

Their financial advice not only helps clients to solve financial needs, but also increases their firm’s profits. A number of bankers work in local financial institutions, while others work for international conglomerates and perform various duties and tasks. Keep Records Bankers record all the daily financial transactions they conduct. This duty involves reviewing documents, such as bank statements and loan application forms, every day. In doing so, bankers can alert the necessary authorities if they notice any fraudulent activities taking place in the bank. The banker is also responsible for properly filing all these documents in the right place. Proper documentation facilitates smooth management of the bank and makes retrieval easier. Bankers must also keep these records in a safe place to protect the confidentiality of the information.

Thanks for visiting!While we’ve had some good stories from readers in London recently, there hasn’t been a solid overview of recruiting in the UK – until now. It would be easy to dismiss this and say, “Banking recruiting and interviews are the same everywhere!” – but that’s just not true. There are huge differences in Europe and Australia compared to the US (Asia, the Middle East, South Africa, and so on are somewhere in between), and you’re going to learn how to approach everything from competency questions to assessment centers and numerical tests in this interview with a reader who just won an IB offer in London. Background Q: Can you tell us about your background and how you broke into the industry? A: Sure. I went to high school in a North African country, then graduated from a top undergraduate business school in Canada, and then earned an MSc in Finance at a top university in London. I was 100% certain I would do investment banking, but I was never able to get an internship in the industry due to personal reasons. But while I was in school I did a lot of extracurricular activities and got exposed to financial modeling through my involvement in one of the biggest student funds in Canada."

A long time ago, initial public offerings were the end game for many technology start-ups: you could go public, get acquired, or die a spectacular death. Or just muddle along and die a slower, more painful death. And then one company came along and changed all that. While everyone has been obsessing over Facebook’s IPO today, the great irony is that Facebook itself has made IPOs less relevant than ever before. Here’s how the IPO process normally works when you’re at a bank, and what Facebook did to upend most of that – and make thousands of people very wealthy in the process: What is an Initial Public Offering (IPO)? It’s the first time that a previously private company can sell its shares to “the general public” (mostly institutional investors at first). Usually the company issues around 20-30% of its shares (free float), though this varies by industry, company stage, and so on. Most investors consider it riskier if the company only makes available a low number of shares – but if the company is “hot” enough (see: Facebook, with its 11% offering) they’ll overlook this and dive in head-over-heels anyway. Why Go Public?"

"text": "\"A: Mutual fund managers get base salaries, which vary greatly depending on the size and pedigree of the fund company. They may be in the low six figures, or they could be tens of millions. However, since their jobs are performance-oriented, to say the least, mutual fund managers usually get a significant portion of their total compensation in the form of bonuses tied to the funds themselves. When funds perform well, bonuses can vastly exceed base salaries. On the flip side, a lean year may mean no bonus at all. For example, a bonus tied to a percentage depending on how much the fund surpasses its index could be millions. If the fund underperforms, or only keeps pace with the index, there is no bonus that year. Not All Are Transparent Fund companies rarely advertise the compensations received by fund managers, but in many cases, you can retrieve this information by requesting a Statement of Additional Information (SAI). The SAI provides some insights into fund management beyond what is found in the prospectus, often including the fund manager's payment structure. Some companies are dead set against disclosing virtually any details about their compensation, arguing it is a private matter along the lines of how investors should expect privacy regarding their investment portfolios."

"text": "From Private to Publicly Traded Firm: The Initial Public Offering A private firm is restricted in its access to external financing, both for debt and equity. In our earlier discussion of equity choices, we pointed out the hard bargain venture capitalists extract for investing equity in a private business. As firms become larger and their capital needs increase, some of them decide to become publicly traded and to raise capital by issuing shares of their equity to financial markets. Staying Private versus Going Public When a private firm becomes publicly traded, the primary benefit is increased access to financial markets and to capital for projects. This access to new capital is a significant gain for high growth businesses, with large and lucrative investment opportunities. A secondary benefit is that the owners of the private firm are able to cash in on their success by attaching a market value to their holdings. Thus, owners can become very wealthy individuals overnight. To illustrate, in a well publicized stock offering, Netscape, a company servicing the Internet, was valued at $2.1 billion on the day it went public. Jim Clark, the CEO and co-founder of the firm, who owned about 25% of the outstanding shares in the firm, found his stake valued at $565 million, while Marc Andreesen, the then 24-year old programmer who co-founded the firm, found his million shares to be worth $58.25 million. These benefits have to be weighed against the potential costs of being publicly traded."

Sell-side analyst is quite different since no one trusts your advice, but they are looking for new ideas and general industry insight. The first thing to do is to do your homework and to not waste your time or the time of the management. Read the SEC filings, press releases, and any statements that the management has already made, and do not ask any questions that you can get the answer to from other sources. While you have done your homework, you can come up with specific questions (i.e. the SEC filings project X sales, where does this number come from?) The second thing that you want to do is to if possible not do the interview by yourself. You want to have one other person making notes as you ask the questions. The reason for having two people do this is so that you can get more confidence that you are actually seeing/hearing what is being said, and it becomes possible to focus on body language."

Introduction to IPOs When a company whose stock is not publicly traded wants to offer that stock to the general public, it usually asks an \"\"underwriter\"\" to help it do this work. The underwriter is almost always an investment banking company, and the underwriter may put together a syndicate of several investment banking companies and brokers. The underwriter agrees to pay the issuer a certain price for a minimum number of shares, and then must resell those shares to buyers, often clients of the underwriting firm or its commercial brokerage cousin. Each member of the syndicate will agree to resell a certain number of shares. The underwriters charge a fee for their services. For example, if Big Glom Corporation (BGC) wants to offer its privately- held stock to the public, it may contact Big Bank Brokers (BBB) to handlethe underwriting. BGC and BBB may agree that 1 million shares of BGC common will be offered to the public at $10 per share. BBB's fee for this service will be $0.60 per share, so that BGC receives $9,400,000. BBB may ask several other firms to join in a syndicate and to help it market these shares to the public."

Banker's acceptances are issued as part of a commercial transaction. These instruments are similar to T-Bills, are frequently used in money market funds and are traded at a discount from face value on the secondary market, which can be an advantage because the banker's acceptance does not need to be held until it matures. Next Up Two Name Paper Investment Banker Consumer Bankers Association - ... Broad Liquidity BREAKING DOWN 'Banker's Acceptance - BA'Considered negotiable instruments with features of a time draft, banker’s acceptances are created by the drawer and provide the bearer with the right to the amount noted on the face of the acceptance on the specified date. Unlike traditional checks, banker’s acceptances function based on the creditworthiness of the banking institution instead of the individual or business acting as the drawer. Additionally, the drawer must provide the funds necessary to support the banker’s acceptance, eliminating the risk associated with insufficient funds on the part of the drawer. Banker's acceptances vary in amount according to the size of the commercial transaction. The date of maturity typically ranges between 30 and 180 days from the date of issue, which generally classifies the banker's acceptance as a short-term negotiable instrument. To create a banker’s acceptance, the drawer must meet the eligibility requirements as set forth by the banking institution that serves as the backer in the transaction.

"text": "What are the different types of groups within an investment bank? Broadly speaking, there are two types of groups within a typical investment bank (or investment banking division): product groups and industry groups (also called sector groups or domains). The three most well known product groups are mergers and acquisitions (M&A), leveraged finance (lev fin) and restructuring. Bankers in product groups have product knowledge and tend to execute transactions (respectively, M&A transactions, leveraged buyouts (LBO’s) and restructuring transactions/bankruptcies). Bankers in industry groups cover specific industries and tend to do more marketing activity (pitching). Industry bankers tend also to have more of the relationships with companies’ senior management than do product bankers (though some senior product bankers have excellent relationships as well). Examples of common industry groups include FIG (Financial Institutions Group), Healthcare, Consumer/Retail, Industrials, Energy and Utilities, Natural Resources, TMT (Telecom, Media and Technology), Gaming and Lodging and Real Estate. Often subgroups exist within the broader group. For example, a Healthcare group may be segregated into biotechnology, medical devices, managed care, pharma, etc. Though not covering a specific industry, one other group that falls under the category of “industry” groups is Financial Sponsors."

"text": "GSBC Insider: Does the Efficiency Ratio Warrant the Attention it Gets? April 20, 2015 | 0 Comments Written by: Timothy W. Koch Many bank analysts and bankers seem to pay close attention to an institution’s efficiency ratio, defined as non-interest expense divided by net operating income (net interest income plus non-interest income). For example, Kelly King, CEO of $190 billion asset BB&T, recently stated that his target for the bank’s efficiency ratio was 56% for 2014. [ 1] The efficiency ratio presumably represents how much a bank pays in overhead to general operating revenue, such that BB&T targeted paying $0.56 in overhead to produce $1 in revenue. Implicitly, the lower the number, the better is a bank’s performance. J. V. Rizzi, in another example, attributes the decline in the number of community banks to the “impact of economies of scale” citing 2014 data, which indicate that banks with $100 million to $1 billion in assets reported an average efficiency ratio of 69% - well below the 77% average efficiency ratio of smaller banks. [ 2] Such a cost disadvantage seems to suggest a competitive disadvantage and encourages many bank managers to focus on cutting costs. Rather than setting goals based primarily on the efficiency ratio, bankers generally recognize that you cannot cut your way to prosperity. In fact, most bankers know that they must invest now in technology and people to remain competitive, both in attracting/retaining customers and building lending teams. So what do you do?"

Light, heat, microwaves and wireless communications are all forms of radiation. The kind of radiation discussed here is called ionising radiation because it can produce charged particles (ions) in matter. Ionising radiation is emitted by a large range of natural materials, can be produced by everyday devices such as X-ray machines, and can also be emitted by unstable atoms. Atoms become unstable when they have the wrong amount of mass required to keep them stable, an excess of energy, or both. Unstable atoms are said to be radioactive. In order to reach stability these atoms give off, or emit, energy and/or mass. The energy is emitted in the form of electromagnetic radiation (i.e. light) and the mass is in the form of tiny particles. These emissions are called nuclear radiation and such atoms are said to be radioactive."

For details go to http://europa.eu.int/comm/food/fs/sfp/fi_index_en.html In March 1999 the European Commission (EC) introduced a framework Directive and an implementing Directive on the irradiation of foodstuffs. Their objective is to harmonise at EU level the member states' national laws governing the treatment of foods and ingredients with ionising radiation, and the conditions of use of ionising radiation, so that irradiated foods may be freely traded within the EU. Each member state was responsible for implementing the legislation laid down in these Directives when they became applicable in September 2000. The legislation stipulates that trade in irradiated foods across the borders of all member states is permitted, but only for foods on the EC approved 'positive' list. Currently the only foods on this list are dried aromatic herbs, spices and vegetable seasonings, and the maximum authorised dose for these is 10 k Gy. An extension of the EC positive list to include more foods is still under debate, and will be voted on by the European Parliament in October 2002 (see http://europa.eu.int/comm/food/fs/sfp/fi11_en.pdf for more details). Irradiated foods traded within the EU must only have been treated at EC authorised irradiation facilities. To date no facilities outside the EU have received the EC authorisation. The EC Directives require all foods, or listed ingredients of foods, which have been irradiated, to be labelled with the words 'irradiated' or 'treated with ionising radiation'."

It uses these reactions to explore the trend in reactivity in Group 1. The Facts General All of these metals react vigorously or even explosively with cold water. In each case, a solution of the metal hydroxide is produced together with hydrogen gas. This equation applies to any of these metals and water - just replace the X by the symbol you want. In each of the following descriptions, I am assuming a very small bit of the metal is dropped into water in a fairly large container. Details for the individual metals Lithium Lithium's density is only about half that of water so it floats on the surface, gently fizzing and giving off hydrogen. It gradually reacts and disappears, forming a colourless solution of lithium hydroxide. The reaction generates heat too slowly and lithium's melting point is too high for it to melt (see sodium below). Sodium Sodium also floats on the surface, but enough heat is given off to melt the sodium (sodium has a lower melting point than lithium and the reaction produces heat faster) and it melts almost at once to form a small silvery ball that dashes around the surface."

"text": "Facts and Figures About Lightning The important facts of lightning are: – It must be respected at all times, not just during the peak periods of a thunderstorm. – It is the result of high voltage currents. – It is unpredictable. This makes researching natural organic strikes very hard. – Most characteristics of lightning are intelligent estimates of typical values formed from other data. – A properly installed lightning protection system will help to protect a property or structure from lightning damage. The Empire State Building is proof of this. There is estimated to be around 2,000 lightning storm active around the global at one time creating over 100 strikes per second. These thunderstorms generate a potential difference of 200,000 to 500,000 volts between the Earth’s surface and the ionosphere, with a fair weather current of about 2×10-12 amperes/meter2. Data from NASA’s space-based optical sensors revealing the uneven distribution of worldwide lightning strikes."

"text": "Electromagnetic Radiation Although the electromagnetic spectrum is made up of many different waves with different properties, they are all electromagnetic radiations. Electromagnetic radiations can be considered as a stream of photons. Photons are particles of zero mass and charge which travel in a wave like pattern at the speed of light. Each photon has a certain quantity or pattern of energy. Thus a beam of electromagnetic radiation delivers energy in photons and the difference between the various electromagnetic radiations is the amount of energy within the photons they possess. Electromagnetic radiations with high frequencies such as gamma rays and X-rays have photons of high energies whereas electromagnetic radiations with low frequencies such as radio waves have photons of low energies. The energy delivered by each electromagnetic radiation beam increases with the frequency of the electromagnetic wave. Intensity of an Electromagnetic Radiation beam The intensity of a beam of electromagnetic radiation is the energy it delivers per second. The energy of the beam of electromagnetic radiation is delivered by the photons. Therefore the intensity depends on two things: The number of photons that are arriving per second The amount of energy carried by each photon1."

"text": "Beta particles Beta particles have a mass which is half of one thousandth of the mass of a proton and carry a single negative charge. What are beta particles? Beta minus particles (β -) are electrons from the nucleus and are ejected by some radionuclides during a form of radioactive decay called beta-decay. The emission of the electron's antiparticle, the positron or beta plus particle (β + ), is also called beta decay. Beta-decay normally occurs in nuclei that have too many neutrons to achieve stability. It occurs commonly in the radioactive products of nuclear fission and occurs in natural radioactive decay chains following one or more alpha-decays What are the properties of beta particles? Beta particles have a mass which is half of one thousandth of the mass of a proton (Figure 1) and carry a single negative charge. Beta-particles are emitted with a continuous energy spectrum ranging from near zero energy up to a maximum energy specific to each radionuclide. ( The actual radioactive decay process will always produce a certain fixed amount of energy but in beta-decay, the energy is split randomly between the beta particle and an almost undetectable, uncharged, particle called the neutrino). Beta particles are much less ionising that alpha particles and generally do less damage for a given amount of energy deposition."

Radiation is energy travelling through space. Sunshine is one of the most familiar forms of radiation. It delivers light, heat and suntans. We limit its effect on us with sunglasses, shade, hats, clothes and sunscreen. There would be no life on Earth without lots of sunlight, but we have increasingly recognised that too much of it on our persons is not a good thing. In fact it may be dangerous, so we control our exposure to it. Sunshine consists of radiation in a range of wavelengths from long-wave infra-red to short-wavelength ultraviolet, which creates the hazard."

However, a researcher in the development of nuclear fusion pointed out to me that a lot of work is being done on the reaction between beryllium and steam because it could be a safety issue in reactor design, and sent me a photo showing the result of exposing beryllium to steam at 800°C. It definitely reacts. I think the problem is that beryllium is both expensive and carries major health risks. This means that few teachers will ever have handled it - I certainly haven't."

The nucleus of an atom can be represented as: Where: A = atomic mass (number of protons + neutrons)Z = atomic number (number of protons)X = chemical symbol (as shown on the periodic table)Alpha decay When an alpha particle is emitted from a nucleus the nucleus loses two protons and two neutrons. This means the atomic mass number decreases by 4 and the atomic number decreases by 2. A new element is formed that is two places lower in the Periodic Table than the original element.

They must smelt it down into iron ingots using a furnace and then create what they want. This makes iron ore one of only two ores that require smelting, the other one being Gold Ore ."

"text": "\"MCMMO Repair Skill, and How to Grind Repair Repair is one of the parent skills of the first child skill, Smelting. It can be used to repair tools and armor on Blocks of Iron. Contents [ show]How to repair items in Minecraft Edit You can repair items in Minecraft by Using the Mc MMO anvil (an iron block) and right-clicking it with the item you would like to repair in your hand. The higher the level, the more durability is restored. Every time you repair an item with the Mc MMO anvil, it consumes a singular amount of the material the item was made of (For example an iron chestplate would cost one iron ingot per click). Arcane Forging 1-8 Edit Arcane Forging is used to keep enchantments on items after repairing them, It starts at level 1 of the [Repair] skill. At a 10% success chance, this is the level at which Arcane Forging starts. Each level afterwards adds a small % increase. such as at level 125 you gain a 10%, level 250 a 20%, at level 750 you get a 50%.cap Along with this, there is a chance for a downgrade on the enchantment. For example, a Power II Bow could potentially become a Power I Bow."

It is only found in the Underworld. Mining Hellstone now requires a pickaxe with at least 65% pickaxe power. The first pickaxe that can mine hellstone will likely be the Nightmare Pickaxe or the Deathbringer Pickaxe (The crimson equivalent to the Nightmare Pickaxe) although it is possible to find a Drax (with 200% axe and pickaxe power) in a shadow chest in the Underground Jungle biome. Hellstone can be smelted into Hellstone Bars at a Hellforge and Adamantite Forge (obtainable in Hardmode), and as of 1.2.0.3.1, it requires only 3 Hellstone and only 1 Obsidian. Like most other ores and soils, it can also be crafted into a Hellstone Brick, but not into Hellstone Wall, at any furnace. When converted to Hellstone Bars, they can be used to create powerful new molten variations of weapons and armor. Hellstone deals 20 fire damage to the player (before defense) when they touch it, unless they wear an Obsidian Skull, Obsidian Horseshoe, Obsidian Shield, Ankh Shield, Obsidian Water Walking Boots, or use an Obsidian Skin Potion. Hellstone has no value when sold to vendors. Let's Explore Terraria - Hellstone Contents [ show]Mining Tips Mining Hellstone can be a pain, not only because Hellstone deals fire damage to the player (which can be negated with an Obsidian Skull); but mainly because of the dangerous monsters of The Underworld, as well as the fact that Hellstone spawns lava (half a block per block of Hellstone ore) when mined."

At least a Molten Pickaxe is required to mine Cobalt Ore. Terraria - How to get new ores and destroy demon altars Notes The stronger alternate to cobalt is Palladium . More Cobalt Ore will spawn for every third altar broken after the first. Cobalt Ore, like all hardmode ores, cannot be broken by explosives . This ore cannot be obtained legitimately prior to killing the Wall of Flesh . Cobalt Ore is a weaker alternative to Palladium . Trivia Cobalt-based blue pigments have been used since ancient times for jewelry and paints, and to impart a distinctive blue tint to glass, but the color was later thought by alchemists to be due to the known metal bismuth. Miners had long used the name kobold ore (German for goblin ore) for some of the blue-pigment producing minerals; they were named because they were poor in known metals and gave poisonous arsenic-containing fumes upon smelting. In 1735, such ores were found to be reducible to a new metal (the first discovered since ancient times), and this was ultimately named for the kobold.

It shows up at elevations ranging from 0 (the bottom of the map) to 67 (5 blocks above sea level). It is found in approximately 0.5% of rock below sea level, and falls off sharply in frequency higher up. In Survival Test, its only function was to give the player an iron block if mined.

A miner with a high mining skill is more likely to find a colored ore vein than less skilled miner. Ore spots give a consistent total amount of ore each time they are mined, this can be either all iron or a mix of iron and colored. Ore spots have a random chance to change what ore they give at each respawn. When a miner reaches the minimum required mining skill and is mining a colored ore vein he has a 50% chance of actually digging up the colored ore. Mining colored ore seems to improve skill a little faster than normal iron ore. Smelting colored ore into ingots improves mining skill much faster than smelting normal iron ore. Mining Tools: A brand new shovel or pickaxe bought from a tinker npc has 50 uses before it breaks. An exceptional shovel or pickaxe made by a player using tinkering skill has 100 uses before it breaks High quality mining tools, such as the sturdy pickaxe and sturdy shovel can be obtained by blacksmiths turning in a completed Bulk Order Deed."

Read on to learn how long you'll have to complete each section of the exam, what you'll be asked about and how to prepare for it. Timeframe for the MCATThe MCAT lasts a total of about 7.5 hours. Of the four sections covered on this test, three of the sections allow 95 minutes for completion and one is limited to 90 minutes. Students will have about 20 minutes before the exam starts to sign an agreement and take the optional tutorial and 10 minutes after the exam ends to answer the void question and take an optional survey. The rest of the time is made up of breaks between the sections. MCAT Content Areas and Time Allowed The MCAT covers the following four content areas: Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems - (95 minutes) Tests you on biology, biochemistry, inorganic and organic chemistry concepts, including cellular and molecular biology. Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems - (95 minutes) Covers some of the same topics as the biological and biochemical foundations section, but also tests you on human organ systems and tissues and chemical and physical principles of the human body. Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations of Behavior - (95 minutes) Tests you on basic psychology and sociology principles as well as biological influences on mental processes, statistics and research methods.

Rather than testing what you've already learned, it's designed to measure and project your ability to excel in law school. Because of this narrow focus, the LSAT is vastly different from many other standardized tests that students take in high school or college. Its unique nature requires that you clearly understand its format and the type of questions that will be asked. The test is broken into five separate sections: analytical reasoning, two logical reasoning sections, reading comprehension, and a writing section. The writing section is unscored, but it's provided to each law school to which a given student applies. The other sections are each 35 minutes long and contain 24 to 28 questions. Given that there are two logical reasoning sections, that portion of the test carries the most weight—it counts for 50 percent of the final score.

If the p K a value of acetic acid is approximately 4.8, what volume of 2M Na OH must be added so that the p H of the solution is 4.8? Possible Answers:2L500m L1L250m LCorrect answer:250m LExplanation: To solve this question you need to think about the chemical reaction occurring. We can ignore water and sodium ions for the sake of this question. The reactants exist in a 1:1 ratio, so that for every mol of Na OH we add, we lose one mol of acetic acid and gain one mol of acetate. We can determine the moles of acetic acid by using M = mol/L, which gives us mol = ML = (2M) * (0.5L) = 1mol acetic acid. If we use the Hendersen Hasselbach equation we can see that the p H equals the p K a when the concentration of conjugate base (acetate) equals the concentration of acid. If we have 1mol of acetic acid and add 0.5mol of Na OH, we will lose 0.5mol of acetic acid and gain 0.5mol of acetate."

Did you ever found your MCAT teachers/tutors/classroom experience not helpful at all or a waste of time? Every summer, thousands of keen pre-med students will sign up for these MCAT courses in hopes that it will help them do well on their MCAT. The worst part is that these people who sign up for courses often do no better than their peers. Whether you’re taking the MCAT again or planning to write the MCAT for the first time, I hope I can convince you that studying the MCAT on your own, without the help of a review course or tutors, is a viable and excellent option.

Simply text TESTGIVEAWAY to 44222. [ 02:10] Your Starting Position The AAMC has provided data from the 2016-2017 application cycle where they give you a grid of GPA crossed with MCAT score and the acceptance rate, how many people applied with these numbers, and how many people were accepted with these numbers. When you think about the odds of getting in and how does that relate to an MCAT score, there is no such thing where getting an “A” is a good score or getting a perfect 100, like in school. With the MCAT, either my score hurts my application, my MCAT score is neutral on my application, my MCAT score is good enough but it's nothing special or my MCAT score helps in my application. Based on the student's background, they're probably thinking a good score is just a score that doesn't hurt me or anything that's just good enough. For the over-achievers, what's a good score for them is something that helps their application. Looking at the chart, the very bottom right shows all the applicants in the country (27, 772) and all the accepted students in the country (8,883) with an overall acceptance rate of 32%."

If you reading this you have probably completed all the general requirements to take the MCAT. Thinking back over your semesters of chemistry you would of used your calculator a lot to complete the math problems ranging from the basics of stoichiometry to the complex problems of solving the p H of a weak acid. You may be wondering how on Earth are you expected to solve logs and square roots without a calculator. Bear in mind its a multiple choice exam so the math is actually done for you, so all you have to do is approximate and pick the best answer. As a chemistry tutor I would like to offer some of my tips for getting through the mathematical problems of the exam. If you have not studied general chemistry for several years I suggest you get really familiar with the different types of calculation problems. The easiest way of doing this is to pick up a text book and work through the different types of problems. Initially build up your confidence using your calculator. Once you understand the problems, find a set of multiple choice questions and practice without a calculator."

That’s to be expected – you’ve just gone undergone a pretty brutal review of your life. But the admissions committee is scrutinizing submissions with the same critical eye. Anticipating the problems so you can correct them is critical for success in your next attempt. And to start out, let’s look at how you can “fix” a poor GPA. A low GPA is probably the hardest area to improve. This makes sense – it was years in the making, and can’t be undone without time. It can take about a year in advanced level science courses to bump a high 2.x GPA over 3.0."

The other Electrician is insisting on the use of a 30 m A RCD for fault protection on the AC side. The consequence is that the contractor is reviewing his past and certified installations where a BS 60898 16A B-type CB has been used - which is extensive. The preferred inverter of choice is SMA, for example Sunny Boy 1100, which provides electrical separation utilising 'Galvanic Isolation'. My point is that although the manufacturer 'recommends' the use of a RCD, there is no requirement under BS 7671 712.411.3.2.1.2 to provide one under these circumstances. Can somebody please confirm my thinking as I'm going to nip this in the bud before the honest contractor gets his knickers in a twist. - Wango. ------------------------- ' They are, in fact, men apart.

"text": "What is an RCD and what does it do? What is an RCD and what does it do?1. An RCD is defined, in BS 7671, as: ‘A mechanical switching device or association of devices intended to cause the opening of the contacts when the residual current attains a given value under specified conditions’. An RCD is a protective device used to automatically disconnect the electrical supply when an imbalance is detected between live conductors. In the case of a single-phase circuit, the device monitors the difference in currents between the phase and neutral conductors. In a healthy circuit, where there is no earth fault current or protective conductor current, the sum of the currents in the phase and neutral conductors is zero. If a phase to earth fault develops, a portion of the phase conductor current will not return through the neutral conductor. The devicemonitors this difference, operates and disconnects the circuit when the residual current reaches a pre-set limit, the residual operating current (I D n). RCDs are used to provide protection against the specific dangers that may arise in electrical installations including:> Protection against indirect contact> Supplementary protection against direct contact> Protection against fire and thermal effects An RCD on its own does not provide protection against overcurrent’s. Overcurrent protection is provided by a fuse or a miniature circuit-breaker (MCB)."

"text": "mbuckhurst Joined: 3 Nov 2007Messages: 16Thanks Received: 0Location: Manchester Country: I've got an MCB in my consumer unit which I think is faulty, mainly due to the fact I turned it off along with all the others trying to identify which circuit my garage sockets were connected to, from then onwards it simply refuses to turn back on, even though there is nothing plugged into the sockets and it has not been changed. I'm having difficulty getting an electrician to turn up so thought this really should be a job I can tackle with ease. But as I've never done it before I just wanted to check a few things: 1) How do I open the consumer unit to get access to the MCBs. 2) All the photos I've seen suggest a busbar provides the connection on the lower side of the MCB, but how on earth is a circuit made? Would I expect to screw a cable into the top connection? thanks mikembuckhurst, 7 Nov 2007 #1Dippy Joined: 24 Jul 2006Messages: 241Thanks Received: 0Location: Berkshire Country: Yes it is easy, BUT unless you are prepared to cut the power to the CU it is also potentially very dangerous because the current limit from a shock could be as high as 100A. CUs do vary so I suggest you post a photo first. As I'm sure you've guessed - if the replacement trips too then you have a circuit fault and not an RCD fault.

Try turning off the main switch and then trying to turn on the RCD. If it turns on fine then there's an earth leakage somewhere, if not, the RCD could be damaged."

I don't think very much has changed in the basic principles on which the article is based, but only a detailed scrutiny of the Regulations and, in particular, the extensive data tables will tell for sure. I don't have time to do this at present, so readers should be aware of potential non-compliances. Nothing in this article is intended to be a substitute for proper professional advice. Overview This article describes the selection of cables for 'difficult' domestic electrical installations. By 'difficult' I mean installations where cables are unusually long, currents abnormally high, or shock protection requirements especially rigorous. I have written this article for competent, sensible DIY enthusiasts who may already be doing electrical work, but lack the theoretical and regulatory knowledge to tackle these more difficult jobs. I have assumed that the reader has a basic understanding of electrical theory and is prepared to do some simple arithmetic. A brief introduction to electrical theory can be found here. Please note that if you're working on the kind of electrical installation that requires the kind of information this article provides, you're probably doing work that requires Building Control approval and inspection."

"text": "\"What is MCB? Nowadays we use more commonly miniature circuit breaker or MCB in low voltage electrical network instead of fuse . The MCB has some advantages compared to fuse. It automatically switches off the electrical circuit during abnormal condition of the network means in over load condition as well as faulty condition. The fuse does not sense but miniature circuit breaker does it in more reliable way. MCB is much more sensitive to over current than fuse. Another advantage is, as the switch operating knob comes at its off position during tripping, the faulty zone of the electrical circuit can easily be identified. But in case of fuse, fuse wire should be checked by opening fuse grip or cutout from fuse base, for confirming the blow of fuse wire. Quick restoration of supply can not be possible in case of fuse as because fuses have to be rewirable or replaced for restoring the supply. But in the case of MCB, quick restoration is possible by just switching on operation."

In This Topic Step 1: Determine whether the differences between group means are statistically significant Step 2: Examine the group means Step 3: Compare the group means Step 4: Determine how well the model fits your data Step 5: Determine whether your model meets the assumptions of the analysis Step 1: Determine whether the differences between group means are statistically significant To determine whether any of the differences between the means are statistically significant, compare the p-value to your significance level to assess the null hypothesis. The null hypothesis states that the population means are all equal. Usually, a significance level (denoted as α or alpha) of 0.05 works well. A significance level of 0.05 indicates a 5% risk of concluding that a difference exists when there is no actual difference. P-value ≤ α: The differences between some of the means are statistically significant If the p-value is less than or equal to the significance level, you reject the null hypothesis and conclude that not all of population means are equal. Use your specialized knowledge to determine whether the differences are practically significant. For more information, go to Statistical and practical significance. P-value > α: The differences between the means are not statistically significant If the p-value is greater than the significance level, you do not have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis that the population means are all equal."

This is known as the ground and is an additional wire which is included for the safety of you and your home. Note: This article was written for a US audience so I refer to the protective conductor as \"\"ground\"\". However it is also called \"\"earth\"\" in other countries. Another difference is that the term \"\"hot\"\" is used, which is also known as \"\"live\"\".

"text": "12 Answers Best Answer If you have an old fusebox you will also have old wiring. Essentially there is nothing 'unsafe' with old installations - they will comply to the reglations around at their time of installation. However, old wiring will have been used and will over time wear out just like anything else, the main problem being in the breakdown of insulation. New fuseboxes have switches that are extreemly sensitive and if there is a breakdown these switches will not accept the wiring, meaning it cannot be done or causing nussance tripping. Another problem with old wiring is that electrical screws can become lose, causing wires to become loose, causing unsafe situations. On the flipside, if the wiring is ok, and you have earthing to water stopcock and gas, you will only make it safer by upgrading the fusebox. And thats you call. I hope this is of some help to you.

Follow 16 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: A licensed certified electrician. This way you will not burn the house down and have all those out of pocket expenses, because the insurance company won't pay on shoddy wiring. Poppy · 8 years ago0 0 Comment You cannot connect a cooker to the mains circuit. That would be dangerous and illegal. Cookers must be wired directly to the Consumer Unit with a 6mm twin+earth radial and a 32A MCB fitted. The MCB should be located close to the Main Switch, not at the end of the row. That may mean moving all the other MCBs - not a simple job for the unskilled. The law (Part P of the Building Regulations) is very clear about this. Kitchens are considered a special area and only registered electricians are allowed to do installations there."

"text": "\"Introduction As cells move through the cell cycle, do they breeze through from one phase to the next? If they're cancer cells, the answer might be yes. Normal cells, however, move through the cell cycle in a regulated way. They use information about their own internal state and cues from the environment around them to decide whether to proceed with cell division. This regulation makes sure that cells don't divide under unfavorable conditions (for instance, when their DNA is damaged, or when there isn't room for more cells in a tissue or organ). Cell cycle checkpoints A checkpoint is a stage in the eukaryotic cell cycle at which the cell examines internal and external cues and \"\"decides\"\" whether or not to move forward with division. There are a number of checkpoints, but the three most important ones are: The G1checkpoint, at the G1/S transition. The G2checkpoint, at the G2/M transition. The spindle checkpoint, at the transition from metaphase to anaphase. The G 1 checkpoint The G 1 checkpoint is the main decision point for a cell – that is, the primary point at which it must choose whether or not to divide."

"text": "An MRI technician is a medical professional who uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to take detailed pictures of structures inside the body. The images captured by the equipment are used by a physician to diagnose diseases. Most MRI technicians work in hospitals or diagnostic imaging centers. MRI technicians must be adept at operating MRI equipment and able to treat patients in a kind, professional manner. Those interested in becoming an MRI technician must attend school to receive specialized training in the field. Students can choose to earn either an associate's or bachelor's degree. The MRI scanner is a magnet shaped like a donut with a tunnel in the middle of the equipment. After the patient is arranged on a table, the table moves into the tunnel. As the patient rests inside the tunnel, radio waves are used to take pictures of the internal body. The resulting images can be transferred into three-dimensional pictures in order to more accurately diagnose a medical condition."

"text": "Listen What It Is Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain is a safe and painless test that uses a magnetic field and radio waves to produce detailed images of the brain and the brain stem. An MRI differs from a CAT scan (also called a CT scan or a computed axial tomography scan) because it does not use radiation. An MRI scanner consists of a large doughnut-shaped magnet that often has a tunnel in the center. Patients are placed on a table that slides into the tunnel. Some centers have open MRI machines that have larger openings and are helpful for patients with claustrophobia. MRI machines are located in hospitals and radiology centers. During the exam, radio waves manipulate the magnetic position of the atoms of the body, which are picked up by a powerful antenna and sent to a computer. The computer performs millions of calculations, resulting in clear, cross-sectional black and white images of the body. These images can be converted into three-dimensional (3-D) pictures of the scanned area. This helps pinpoint problems in the brain and the brain stem when the scan focuses on those areas."

In order to get the test done, after 3 tries at my neurosurgeon's building, my neurosurgeon sent me to a huge speciality practice that does nothing but orthopedics. This practice has a radiology and physical therapy department that takes up almost the whole first floor of a large building. The diagnostic equipment at this facility was top notch. I was told that getting an MRI of my upper arm would be no problem and they were correct! The MRI technician explained what she was going to do every step of the way.

It has been estimated that the savings in daily makeup is about $400 per year, and in time that you may save 380 hours per year. Most people don't get permanent makeup to save money, they do it for convenience and to know that they always look their best. If you compare other non-surgical procedures such as Botox or wrinkle filler it gives you a good idea of the value of permanent makeup. For about the same cost as some Botox or filler, which may last only 3-4 months, you will get permanent makeup that lasts for years and saves you time every day. Q. How long does a procedure take? A. Usually, each procedure appointment is one to two hours. The majority of the time is spent in adequately consulting and selecting the appropriate color for your skin; in measuring and artistically drawing on the planned procedure prior to actually implanting the color; and allowing for the application of topical anesthetics.

Through the use of a strong magnetic field and radio pulses, MRI technicians can create detailed images of tissues throughout the body. It's especially useful for soft tissues concealed by bones and other dense tissues, in areas such as the brain and joints. These MRI technicians, or technologists, usually enter the field with an associate degree in MRI technology or radiography. Primary Pathway Some technologists enter the field by training directly in the use of magnetic resonance imaging. This usually takes the form of a two-year associate degree, though some schools offer four-year bachelor's degrees, as well. The curriculum provides future technologists with a grounding in the humanities and basic sciences, then goes on to teach the principles and detailed practical aspects of magnetic resonance imaging. Programs also include practical instruction, giving students supervised opportunities to perform imaging procedures in a clinical setting. Graduates are eligible for licensing in most states, and can test for certification through the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. Post-Primary Pathway Many technologists become certified in MRI after previously earning credentials in radiography or another health-care field."

For example, a chest x-ray allows the doctor to see through the skin and study the heart and lungs. Modern x-rays are very safe, but do expose the body to some x-ray radiation. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a different method of looking inside the body. Instead of x-rays, the MRI scanner uses magnetism and radio waves to produce remarkably clear pictures. The powerful magnetic field causes the hydrogen ions in the body to become magnetized and line up in a certain order. The data received is analyzed and turned into an image by a high powered computer to create detailed image slices (cross sections) of your body. MRI can produce better soft-tissue images than standard x-rays and is better at distinguishing normal, healthy soft tissue from diseased tissue. ... How does MRI differ from a CT scan?"

What is the urinary tract? The urinary tract consists of the organs, tubes, and muscles that work together to make, move, store, and release urine, the liquid waste of the human body. The upper urinary tract includes the kidneys, which filter wastes and extra fluid from the blood, and the ureters, which carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder. The lower urinary tract includes the bladder, a balloon-shaped muscle that stores urine, and the urethra, a tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body during urination. Doctors who specialize in kidney problems are called nephrologists.

"text": "How to rebuild trust in your relationship by Kim Romen, MSW, LCSWIt can be difficult to rebuild trust in a relationship when trust has been broken, but it is possible. Often times it can even be possible to get to a much better place in the relationship than before the trust was broken. Many times it takes something big to happen in a couple’s relationship to motivate them to do the work needed to have a healthy, fulfilling relationship. Often times infidelity, a separation, or a discovered secret ends up being a sort of “wake up call” and motivation to nurture a relationship. Many times couples who have successfully worked through something such as infidelity say that they are happier than they had ever been in their relationship and although they wish the infidelity never happened, they may never had taken their relationship so seriously in order to do the hard work to get to the new place. I am by no means recommending that you have an affair to spice up your relationship, but I am saying that there is hope for reconciliation if trust has been broken in your relationship. Here are some tips for the person who broke trust: Apologize . A truly remorseful person takes full responsibility for their actions, not make excuses or blaming anyone or anything else for what they did. Be specific . “ I’m sorry I was mean” is a start, but “I’m sorry that I hid the debt from you” is much better."

Health social work is a rapidly growing field in which highly trained social workers deliver services to individuals and families, usually in a healthcare setting. Health social workers may work in an administrative capacity, devising support programs for individuals in hospitals, nursing homes, or other healthcare facilities. Health social workers may also serve as case managers or patient advocates while others provide counseling and crisis intervention services. Their primary purpose is to help clients meet the financial, emotional, and social needs related to injury, illness, and death. Because some positions only require a bachelor’s degree, there are many opportunities for entrance into the field of health social work. In hospitals, palliative care facilities, nursing homes, and other care-based settings, health social workers are responsible for helping patients and their families identify services, coordinate services, and various other case management related activities. They will usually assist in the admission and discharge processes, helping familiarize patients and their families with the facility and its services, and providing information about community resources available upon discharge. Health social workers will often provide therapeutic services to patients and their families as well, particularly in crisis situations when injury or death have occurred. If a patient is terminal, a health social worker might assist in end of life planning and writing advanced directives."

Typically, children are fearful and angry, and it's the child social worker's job to gain their trust, help them find the answers they need, provide methods for coping, and help resolve the foundational problems. What Does a Child Social Worker Do? Most child social workers work in family service agencies, schools, state agencies, or the federal government. Their typical clients are underprivileged children living in unsafe conditions who are at risk of neglect or abuse, or who have special needs, such as health issues or disabilities. They also work with children who have behavioral problems, learning disabilities, or who are in need of supervision. Some child social workers work in schools where they interact daily with kids providing caring counsel and support. They assist parents and administrators on issues such as truancy, bullying, substance concerns, and pregnancy."

How many test questions (called items because not all are actually in the form of questions) are on the exam? There is a rumor that some of the items are “fake” and do not count toward the final score. Is that true? There are 170 items on the exam. 150 are scored items, and 20 are pretest items that do not count toward the passing score. The pretest items are scattered throughout the test at random, so there is no way to tell which items count toward the score and which items don’t. However, these pretest items are not “fake.”"

"text": "Question: Can you get a Master of Social Work (MSW) without a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW)? Answer: Yes. For students who are interested in earning an MSW and starting a career in social work, a BSW degree is not required. MSW programs are typically offered in two different formats depending on a student’s undergraduate degree. Traditional standing MSW programs are for students who have earned a bachelor’s degree in a field other than social work. Advanced standing MSW programs require students to have completed a BSW degree from an undergraduate program that has been accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). The majority of schools that offer campus-based or online MSW programs offer traditional standing tracks. Currently, all 34 schools that offer online MSW programs offer a traditional standing track. ( On Online MSWPrograms.com, we classify any online MSW program that requires two or fewer visits to the campus per year as an online program. Online programs that require more than two visits per year are classified as hybrid MSW programs on the site. )"

All of the schools listed on the site are accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE), the only organization that provides accreditation for Master of Social Work degrees in the United States. Unfortunately for prospective students, there is no one set of standards for how an online MSW degree must be structured or even what can be called an “online” program. Degree requirements, course structures, and instruction methods all vary by school. Our goal is to make it clear how different graduate institutions work so that students are better prepared to determine which one best fits their needs, accepts students from their state, and meets their professional aspirations. While there are advanced degrees that offer courses entirely online, all online MSW programs have a field education requirement where students must work at health services agencies in their local area."

Social work is also part of the growing heath care professional field, and the employment outlook for people who hold an MSW is considered good according to the federal government's Occupational Outlook Handbook . Social workers also get the satisfaction of assisting clients who are in need or in transition [ 1] : they help the homeless find shelter, assist children in distress, and counsel people through mental illnesses or the loss of a loved one.

"text": "Home » Information How to Get an Occupational License in Texas By Victoria Mc Grath Minerva Studio/i Stock/Getty Images The Texas Department of Public Safety issues occupational licenses to drivers with restricted driving privileges who need to get to work, school or complete essential household tasks. An occupational license permits you to operate a non-commercial vehicle for up to 12 hours a day, six days a week with court approval. First, you ask the court to approve the occupational license, then you submit an application for the occupational license to DPS. You must demonstrate to the court that you have an essential need to drive, so it may be helpful to consult an attorney. Occupational License Approval and Issuance If your driver's license is denied, revoked or suspended in Texas, you may be eligible for a restricted license. Applying for an occupational license is a two-step process. First, you file a court petition then submit a certified copy of the petition and court order, with supporting documentation and applicable license fees, to DPS. An occupational license is typically issued only for driving a non-commercial vehicle. Texas does not issue an occupational driver's license based on license restrictions for medical conditions or delinquent child-support payments. Required Documents and Signatures for Court Order Your request for an occupational license is based on your original case or circumstances under which your license was suspended, revoked or denied."

"text": "How does a DUI affect your record?by Free Advice staff A DUI conviction, called DWI conviction in some states, has two major consequences. The first is a driver's license suspension, known as an administrative drivers license suspension, and the second are the serious criminal charges that often result when a driver is stopped for driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The driver's license suspension initially imposed is governed by administrative or civil law and is typically administered and imposed by the state department of motor vehicles, while the criminal aspect is governed by criminal law and dictates fines, fees, penalties, sentencing and parole or probation. DUI Driver's License Suspension Florida DUI Penalties - Florida DUI Laws - Drunk Driving in Florida - Florida DUI Lawyers Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available. Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video. Under an administrative license suspension for a DUI, a person’s license is taken away before the drunk driving conviction when a driver fails or refuses to take a sobriety test. This means the individual’s license is taken away on the spot, before ever going to court. Some states even suspend a driver's license on the spot when making a DWI arrest, whether the driver cooperated and took the required blood alcohol content (BAC) tests or not. Many states that impose these types of license suspensions prior to a court appearance schedule an administrative hearing within a short period of time after the arrest, generally within 5 to 10 days. This hearing is usually independent of any court appearances and does not replace the arraignment or other criminal process."

Immaturity and lack of driving experience are the two main factors leading to the high crash rate among young people ages 15-19. Teens’ lack of experience affects their recognition of and response to hazardous situations and results in dangerous practices such as speeding and tailgating. Other major contributing factors to the higher crash risk of young drivers are night driving and teen passengers. Teenagers are involved in more motor vehicle crashes late in the day and at night than at other times of the day. Teens also have a greater chance of getting involved in an accident if other teens are present in the vehicle, according to research from the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and State Farm. Among drivers involved in fatal crashes, young males are the most likely to be speeding according to NHTSA’s National Center for Statistics and Analysis. Graduated drivers license (GDL) laws, which include a three-phase program that allows teen drivers to develop more mature driving attitudes and gain experience behind the wheel, have been successful in reducing teen motor vehicle accidents. In 1996 Florida became the first state to enact a GDL law. Every state now has a GDL law."

[ 1] [2]Some cities use \"\"taxi medallions\"\" as permits for taxicab drivers to pick up passengers. Because the medallion system is a government-created intentional constraint on the supply of taxicabs, and historically cities have increased the number of medallions much more slowly than the growth in demand for taxis, medallions have generally been considered a great investment; [3] [4] though recently the increase in supply of cars for hire created by real-time ridesharing companies has been eroding the value of medallions.

An occupational license is a special restricted license issued to persons whose license has been suspended or revoked for certain offenses (other than medical reasons or delinquent child support). An occupational license authorizes the operation of a non-commercial motor vehicle in connection with a person’s occupation, for educational purposes or in the performance of essential household duties.

For most of us, taking the 2013 Texas drivers test is a very stressful experience and due to this stress, we may not perform our best when we get behind the wheel. If you are one of these people who tend to worry too much, there is only one certain way to reduce the amount of stress during your Texas drivers test and that is being as prepared for the road exam as possible. This does not only mean getting as many hours behind the wheel as possible, taking professional driving lessons and performing the required maneuvers over and over again, it also means that you need to review the manual to brush up on the state driving laws. Yes, you will be tested on your knowledge of driving rules while taking the 2013 Texas driving test so we advise that you go ahead and make sure you are up to date on the laws with a free refresher Texas drivers license practice test!Texas Driving Test Requirements Prior to taking a driving test at the Department of Public Safety, the state requires you to meet certain requirements, such as receiving a Texas drivers permit. Texas driving test requirements largely depend on the age of the applicant, so make sure you follow the right procedure. Under 18 Years of Age If you intend on taking the Texas drivers test before you turn 18, you are subject to the Texas graduated driver's license program and your road towards the driving test starts at the gates of a driving school where you take a Texas drivers education class. We speak figuratively when we mention the “gates” - the DPS and the TEA are doing a great job at providing teenagers with alternatives to a regular driving school. Thus, teen drivers usually have an option to complete a Texas parent taught driver's education online or going through one of the book courses. While being enrolled in a drivers education course, you visit a local DPS office and take your Texas permit test that assesses your knowledge of the state driving rules and road signs."

"text": "Attacking Immigrant Entrepreneurship Eyebrow threaders cannot afford, in terms of money or time, to obtain government-issued cosmetology licenses. Naturally, threaders are predominantly South Asian and Middle Eastern immigrants because the practice of threading is so pervasive in their home countries. Threading presents a great employment opportunity for them because they are already highly skilled in the practice. “TDLR is forcing successful eyebrow threaders, many with 20 years of experience or more, to spend more than $20,000 and one year of their lives going to a school that does not teach the trade they practice. ”But complying with the state’s unreasonable demands would cost threaders a small fortune in difficult economic times. First, you need a high school diploma (or its equivalent) to apply for a cosmetology license. [ 26] Second, the cost of attending beauty school, applying for the license and taking the test is between $7,000 and $22,000 (again, depending on which license is required). [ 27] Meanwhile, threaders cannot work to support their families because a cosmetology license requires a minimum of nine-months in beauty school. [ 28] Despite these challenges, state inspectors have begun issuing $2,000 fines to individual threaders who cannot immediately come into compliance. Even if threaders completed beauty school, the government would require them to pay $128 to a for-profit, out-of-state company in order to take a written and practical examination of their abilities (again, not including threading).

These professionals' specialization and day-to-day work may vary greatly. For example, biological oceanographers examine animals, microbes and plants, and physical oceanographers focus on physical aspects of the ocean such as temperature, waves, currents and tides. Chemical oceanographers study how the chemical properties of the ocean interact with the rest of the environment, while geological oceanographers research properties of the ocean floor. As a whole, oceanographers' research is meant to help in areas such as preserving oceans and coastal waters, assisting other professionals in caring for wildlife, determining how plate tectonics shift and predicting weather patterns, among others."

Wo Share Tweetby Terri Williams – on Mar 19th in Job & Salaries If you’re not the type of person who likes to be tethered to a desk all day, be of good cheer. There are several high-paying jobs that will allow you to spend the majority of your time outdoors. Working outside has many advantages, including the opportunity to avoid office chatter, office gossip, and office politics. And, according to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, outdoor air is much cleaner than indoor air. That’s because indoor air may contain pollution from a variety of sources, including mold, low humidity levels, high humidity levels, and dust. In addition, asbestos, radon, chemicals, and cleaning supplies can also be indoor air pollutants. Indoor air pollution has been linked to headaches, fatigue, asthma, and irritation of the nose, throat, and eyes. Also, long-term exposure can result in serious health conditions, such as cancer."

"text": "\"Oceanography, Biological Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Biological oceanography is a field of study that seeks to understand what controls the distribution and abundance of different types of marine life, and how living organisms influence and interact with processes in the oceans. Biological oceanographers study all forms of life in the oceans, from microscopic plants and animals to fish and whales. In addition, biological oceanographers examine all forms of oceanic processes that involve living organisms. These include processes that occur at molecular scales, such as photosynthesis , respiration, and cycling of essential nutrients , to largescale processes such as effects of ocean currents on marine productivity. A distinction is often made between the fields of biological oceanography and marine biology. Although there is considerable overlap between the two disciplines, the field of marine biology traditionally deals with the study of individual organisms, including their taxonomy, behavior, physiology and other aspects of their biology. In contrast, the emphasis of biological oceanography is the ocean and organisms as a system. As such, biological oceanographers tend to utilize a multidisciplinary approach, drawing on knowledge from various fields in addition to biology including, for example, physics, chemistry, and geology. Tools and Technology Biological oceanographers rely on a variety of tools and use a variety of approaches to aid them in their study of life in the sea. Some studies involve laboratory experiments with individual organisms."

"text": "An oceanographer is a trained scientist who studies the various physical properties and processes of oceans. He or she might study the chemical composition of ocean water samples or investigate physical changes in tides and currents. Scientists may track the movement of minerals and sediments, analyze seismic and volcanic activity, or survey ocean floors. An oceanographer can find employment with a private research institution, university, government agency, or environmental organization. An oceanographer often specializes in chemical, physical, or geological oceanography. Chemical oceanographers collect and analyze samples of water, sediments, and marine plants to better understand their chemical structures. Scientists might determine how pollution changes the chemical composition of ocean water, and the greater effects pollution may have on plants and animals. They may also investigate samples from many different areas to understand the movement of different minerals and chemicals over time and space. A physical oceanographer studies the visible makeup of ocean sediments, changes in tides and pressure, and the effects of different natural processes. Scientists might track currents and temperature changes to determine how and why certain weather patterns emerge."

Credit: Carlos Ayala CHARLOTTE, N. C. — This summer the North Carolina Senate passed a bill banning researchers from reporting predicted increases in the rate of sea level rise. But the ocean, unbound by legislation, is rising anyway — and in North Carolina this rise is accelerating, researchers reported here yesterday (Nov. 6) at the annual meeting of the Geological Society of America. On the coast of North Carolina and at other so-called \"\"hotspots\"\" along the U. S. East Coast, sea levels are rising about three times more quickly on average than they are globally, researchers reported during a session devoted to sea level rise. That's the fastest rise in the world. \"\" What we're seeing here is unique,\"\" said Asbury Sallenger, an oceanographer at the U. S. Geological Survey in St. Petersburg, Fla. The accelerating rise And this rise is accelerating, said Tal Ezer, a researcher at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Va. His colleague, Larry Atkinson, said computer models suggest that if this acceleration continues at the same pace, the rise along the East Coast — from North Carolina to Massachusetts — could be 5.3 feet (1.6 meters) by 2100. Sea levels on this stretch of land have climbed as much as 1.5 inches (3.7 centimeters) per decade since 1980, while globally they've risen up to 0.4 inches (1.0 cm) per decade, according to a study by Sallenger published in June. Why is the rise accelerating? Researchers said it's due in part to the sinking of land in the mid-Atlantic, a process called subsidence. Also, warming oceans have decreased the flow rate of the Gulf Stream, a current that ferries warm water from the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico northeast across the Atlantic."

"text": "\"A History of the Study of Marine Biology Marine Life / The Naming of Life: Marine Taxonomy »The history of marine biology may have begun as early as 1200 BC when the Phoenicians began ocean voyages using celestial navigation. References to the sea and its mysteries abound in Greek mythology, particularly the Homeric poems \"\"The Iliad\"\" and \"\"The Odyssey\"\". However, these two sources of ancient history mostly refer to the sea as a means of transportation and food source. It wasn't until the writings of Aristotle from 384-322 BC that specific references to marine life were recorded. Aristotle identified a variety of species including crustaceans, echinoderms, mollusks, and fish. He also recognized that cetaceans are mammals, and that marine vertebrates are either oviparous (producing eggs that hatch outside the body) or viviparous (producing eggs that hatch within the body). Because he is the first to record observations on marine life, Aristotle is often referred to as the father of marine biology. The Early Expeditions The modern day study of marine biology began with the exploration by Captain James Cook (1728-1779) in 18th century Britain. Captain Cook is most known for his extensive voyages of discovery for the British Navy, mapping much of the world's uncharted waters during that time. He circumnavigated the world twice during his lifetime, during which he logged descriptions of numerous plants and animals then unknown to most of mankind."

They study the Earth's geologic past and present by using sophisticated instruments to analyze the composition of earth, rock, and water. Many geoscientists help to search for natural resources such as groundwater, metals, and petroleum. Others work closely with environmental and other scientists to preserve and clean up the environment. Geoscientists usually study and work in one of several closely related fields of geoscience. Geologists study the composition, processes, and history of the Earth. They try to find out how rocks were formed and what has happened to them since their formation.

A tidal datum is a standard elevation defined by a certain phase of the tide. Tidal datums are used as references to measure local water levels and should not be extended into areas having differing oceanographic characteristics without substantiating measurements. In order that they may be recovered when needed, such datums are referenced to fixed points known as bench marks.

He co-developed the Aqua-lung, pioneered marine conservation and was a member of the Académie française. Cousteau described his underwater world research in a series of books, perhaps the most successful being his first book, The Silent World: A Story of Undersea Discovery and Adventure, published in 1953. Cousteau also directed films, most notably the documentary adaptation of the book, The Silent World, which won a Palme d'or at the 1956 Cannes Film Festival.

The ocean’s levels of algae have rapidly increased. M. Kahru The Arctic Ocean may seem remote and forbidding, but to birds, whales and other animals, it’s a top-notch dining destination. “It’s a great place to get food in the summertime, so animals are flying or swimming thousands of miles to get there,” said Kevin R. Arrigo, a biological oceanographer at Stanford University. But the menu is changing. Confirming earlier research, scientists reported Wednesday that global warming is altering the ecology of the Arctic Ocean on a huge scale. The annual production of algae, the base of the food web, increased an estimated 47 percent between 1997 and 2015, and the ocean is greening up much earlier each year. These changes are likely to have a profound impact for animals further up the food chain, such as birds, seals, polar bears and whales. But scientists still don’t know enough about the biology of the Arctic Ocean to predict what the ecosystem will look like in decades to come."

Several thousand marine scientists are busy at work in the United States dealing with a diversity of important issues — from climate change, declining fisheries, and eroding coastlines, to the development of new drugs from marine resources and the invention of new technologies to explore the sea. Oceanography covers a wide range of topics, including marine life and ecosystems, ocean circulation, plate tectonics and the geology of the seafloor, and the chemical and physical properties of the ocean. Just as there are many specialties within the medical field, there are many disciplines within oceanography. Biological oceanographers and marine biologists study plants and animals in the marine environment. They are interested in the numbers of marine organisms and how these organisms develop, relate to one another, adapt to their environment, and interact with it. To accomplish their work, they may use field observations, computer models, or laboratory and field experiments. Chemical oceanographers and marine chemists study the composition of seawater, its processes and cycles, and the chemical interaction of seawater with the atmosphere and seafloor. Their work may include analysis of seawater components, the effects of pollutants, and the impacts of chemical processes on marine organisms."

Population An estimated 800,000 to 1.5 million are found worldwide. In the U. S., just 30 ocelots remain in an isolated population in southeast Texas. Range Did You Know? In captivity, ocelots can live 20 years while in the wild they live 7 - 10 years. Once ranging as far east as Arkansas and Louisiana, throughout Texas and in Mexico, ocelots are currently found only in extreme southern Texas and northeastern Mexico. They are also found in every country south of the United States except Chile. Behavior Ocelots are strongly nocturnal, resting in trees or dense brush during the day."

"text": "Can You Have a Possum as a Pet? By Anne Woods People sometimes find orphaned possums and consider raising these cute animals as pets. It's illegal to keep them without a wildlife rehabilitation permit, though, and once they're old enough to survive on their own, healthy possums can, and should, be released. They're wild animals who don't fare well often in captivity. Trying to transform a possum into a pet can be expensive and heartbreaking. Wildlife Rehabilitation To keep a captive opossum legally, you need a wildlife rehabilitation permit from your state. Depending on where you live, you might need to volunteer with a wildlife rehabilitator, take a training class or pass a written exam to get the permit. Once they're healthy, rehabilitated possums always should be released. You might find one who’s so sick or injured that he needs continuing care, though. If you have the knowledge, experience, time and finances to provide him with a good home, you might be able to adopt him."

Having done a wee bit of research, it seems that parrots should be able to spawn in our existing jungles, so I've been wandering through the ones near my base looking for some parrots, but I'm getting none spawning at all. What do we know about their spawning mechanics, if anything, yet? Do they spawn on grass, like ocelots? ( I have a cleared area specifically for ocelots, but haven't come across any parrots on it. ) Are they affected by the existence of other passive mobs in the area, like my pens of sheep and cows? ("

The Ocelot is also known as the Painted Leopard due to the beautifully distinctive markings on its fur as it displays dark rosettes, along with spots and stripes. Similar in colouration to the much smaller but closely related Margay, the Ocelot was nearly driven to extinction in the 20th century as they were commonly hunted for their fur. Today however, national protection throughout much of their natural range has meant that the Ocelot population has been able to recover somewhat. The Ocelot is a strong and agile cat that can not only climb and run well but they are also good swimmers as they are not afraid of water like numerous other cat species. Ocelot Anatomy and Appearance The Ocelot has short and thick, velvety fur that is usually tawny-yellow to reddish-grey in colour and marked with black chain-like rosettes on its back and sides. There are dark spots on their legs and stripes on their head and face which are distinctive to the individual. They have a long tail that is generally marked with dark rings and large paws in relation to their body size. Like all feline species (with the exception of Cheetahs) the Ocelot can retract its claws into protective pockets that prevent them from becoming blunt whilst the Ocelot is walking about. Males tend to be substantially larger than females and can grow up to a meter in length with a tail half their body size on top of that."

Although Minecraft can seem empty at times, it’s rare to be anywhere on a map where you can’t find creatures of some sort. Even when you’re in the middle of a seemingly barren desert, a few swings of your pickax will usually reveal caverns under the sand filled with creatures. Minecraft mobs afford you the ability to interact (such as with villagers and taming animals), to eat (such as with the passive food-proving mobs), and the ability to fight (you’ll find more than a few creatures big and small that are rather unfriendly). In Minecraft lingo, these creatures belong to “mobs” and can be divided broadly into Passive, Neutral, Utility, and Aggressive mobs. If in the course of play you get the distinct feeling that the balance of friendly-to-hostile creatures is tipped strongly in favor of the hostile creatures, you’re not imagining it. The rate of spawning for aggressive mobs is measured in fractions of a second whereas the spawn cycle for passive mobs (such as animals) is nearly half a minute long. Every 1/20 th of a second the game asks “Should I spawn an aggressive mob near the player?”"

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

I have a 99 VW cabrio (last time I had mentioned it was a volvo, which was wrong) and I was told this may be what is causing oil to go into the intake. I need to first understand how this part works. Update: What part or what could be causing the problem? I already changed the pcv valve and the mass intake sensor Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The oil pressure sensor is actually an electronic transducer which allows more electricity to flow in direct proportion to the pressure applied to a pressure sensitive medium. That electrical signal is translated to a pressure reading on the gauge on the dash of your car. It is mounted on the outside of the engine block and connected by a drilled passage to the pressurize oil gallery ( a fancy name for the main oil passage ) so that the sensor reads the pressure in the gallery directly. If a sensor leaks it will cause oil to drip on the ground but this is a very rare thing. You mentioned oil in the intake - would I be correct to think that you actually mean the air cleaner box or compartment? If that is the case your engines PCV or Positive Crankcase Ventilation valve and associated vacuum lines and port need to be checked over, it is likely that the valve itself needs to be replaced - do not worry the valve is not expensive."

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

"text": "\"P0102 Mass Air Flow MAF Circuit Low Technical Description Mass or Volume Air Flow Circuit Low What does that mean? This diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is a generic powertrain code, which means that it applies to OBD-II equipped vehicles that have a mass airflow sensor. Brands include but are not limited to Toyota, Infiniti, Nissan, Jaguar, Audi, Mercedes, Dodge, Hyundai, Chevy, Ford, etc. Although generic, the specific repair steps may vary depending on make/model. The MAF (mass air flow) sensor is a sensor mounted in a vehicle's engine air intake tract downstream from the air filter, and is used to measure the volume and density of air being drawn into the engine. The MAF sensor itself only measures a portion of the air entering and that value is used to calculate the total volume and density of air being ingested. The powertrain control module (PCM) uses that reading along with other sensor parameters to ensure proper fuel delivery at any given time for optimum power and fuel efficiency. This P0102 diagnostic trouble code (DTC) means that there is a low condition detected in the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor or circuit. The PCM detects that the actual MAF sensor frequency signal is not performing within the normal expected range of the calculated MAF value. Note: Some MAF sensors also incorporate an air temperature sensor, which is another value used by the PCM for optimal engine operation."

"text": "How Do You Know If the Oil Pressure Gauge Is Bad?by Cheryl Knight on November 18, 2015Share Tweet Pin The oil pressure in a vehicle engine plays an important role in making sure that lubricants reach the areas they need to, including the camshaft, main, and balance shaft bearings. This helps reduce the wear of engine parts, ensuring that the engine does not get too hot and continues to run smoothly. When checking the oil pressure gauge, keep in mind that the pressure reads higher in cold weather due to the higher thickness (also known as viscosity) of the oil. How the oil pressure gauge works The inner workings of an oil pressure gauge depends in large part on the type: electric or mechanical. A mechanical gauge uses a spring that is affected by the pressure of the oil. A coiled tube, called a bulb, attaches to the oil pressure gauge's outer casing and to linkage at the bottom of the needle. Oil is fed into the bulb under pressure, the same as in the vehicle engine, from a supply pipe that causes the bulb to attempt to straighten. This pressure is what moves the oil pressure needle on your dashboard showing the oil pressure level in the engine. An electric gauge uses a sending unit and a circuit to send electric signals to the gauge via a wire-wound coil. These parts allow the system to alter the indicator needle to show the correct pressure."

While this injection technology, developed by Caterpillar, is considered outdated today, it was thought of as a modern marvel when it was introduced in 1994. Diesel engine competition in the mid-90s boiled down to the mechanically injected, inline-six 5.9L Cummins (found in the Dodge Ram), and the underpowered, indirect-injection 6.5L V-8 from GM. The 7.3L’s direct injection fuel delivery method and electronics allowed for computer-controlled timing advance, cleaner emissions, and the ability to make more horsepower and torque than the other two brands. Ford, with its marriage to International, jumped at the chance to offer the HEUI-equipped, Navistar-built 7.3L in its ¾-ton-and-larger trucks. Photo 2/14 | heui How High Pressure Oil Injection Systems Work ford Truck And Injectors So how does HEUI work? And what components are involved? We’ll answer both of these questions, as well as detail the injector firing process in an HEUI injector. We’ll also offer some insight as to why the 7.3L’s HEUI system was so reliable in comparison to the 6.0L’s.

"text": "\"Cars & Transportation Maintenance & Repairs How long does it take to put new tires on a car? Last time I did it, I thought it was about 45 minutes. But now I have a new car, and I think the guy told me about 3 hours??? Please told me I heard him wrong! Would it make a difference that this car has tire pressure sensors, and the old one didn't? Update: I have an appointment, and the Mazda dealer where I'm taking it is pretty good about getting to appointments on time. So the people ahead of me shouldn't make TOO much difference.1 following 9 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: What's important is not how long it takes, it's that you get good tires installed properly. Tires are so critical to safe operation of an automobile that you should take extra time to make sure you do it right. It's the same with \"\"gauranteed 15 minute Quick Lube oil changes\"\". That's exactly what you DON'T want when having the oil and filter changed on your $5,000 automobile engine!!"

If you don’t have service information you can buy a subscription online at All Data DIY or e Autorepair.net. Piezo High Pressure Common Rail Basic Information The high pressure pump builds rail pressure and delivers it to the fuel rail manifold where it flows through the injector lines to the injectors. The fuel pressure regulator in the high pressure pump and the pressure regulating valve in the rail control rail pressure. The injectors have a piezo stack instead of an electro-magnetic solenoid. When energized, the piezo crystals expand, lifting the control valve off of its seat via a hydraulic coupler (connecting plunger below) to begin injection. If the valve seat in the injector is leaking or the pressure regulating valve leaks then it will not build enough rail pressure to start the engine. CAUTIONThe fuel system contains high pressure fuel up to 29,000 PSI. Do not use you fingers to find fuel leaks!"

"title": "https://www.2carpros.com/articles/engine-is-leaking-oil\nMotor oil leaks will hurt your engine",
"text": "Motor oil leaks will hurt your engine A car engine uses motor oil to lubricate the internal moving parts of the engine such as crankshaft, rod bearings, pistons and valve train. This oil is controlled from leaking out of main engine parts by using a series of covers, gaskets and seals. There are two kinds of oil leaks, pressurized and non-pressurized. Non-pressurized leaks tend to be less aggressive while pressurized leaks can be extreme. If an oil leak is not obvious clean the engine with a strong detergent. Then run the engine for a short time and recheck the engine using a flashlight. When inspecting for oil leaks start at the top of the engine and work down as oil will travel downward before collecting into a drip at the bottom of the engine. What Goes Wrong? As the engine ages its gasket and seals will become hard and crack due to heat. This will allow oil to leak out and onto the ground or onto the exhaust system where it is burned creating smoke from under the hood."

"text": "\"Home , Auto Repair Library, Auto Parts, Accessories, Tools, Manuals & Books, Car BLOG, Links, Index Catalytic Converter Copyright AA1Car Catalytic converters are one of the greatest emission add-ons ever to be installed on vehicles. By cleaning up the pollutants left over from combustion, they reduce tailpipe emissions of hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) to extremely low levels, when everything is operating normally, that is. But sometimes things do not operate normally, and when that happens engine performance may suffer or the vehicle may fail an emissions test. Driveability symptoms such as a drop in fuel economy, lack of high speed power, rough idle or stalling are classic symptoms of excessive backpressure due to a plugged converter. Checking exhaust backpressure and/or intake vacuum will tell you if there's a blockage (more on this subject in a minute). Elevated HC and CO tailpipe emissions, on the other hand, are often symptoms of a fouled converter or a faulty air supply (bad or leaky air pump, diverter valve or pulse air system). A fouled converter may not cause any increase in backpressure, so other methods of checking the converter are required for this type of problem (which we'll also get to shortly). The important point to remember here is that converters don't just plug up or die for no good reason. There is usually an underlying cause which must also be diagnosed and corrected before the problem can be eliminated. Diagnosing a plugged or fouled catalytic converter is only half the fix."

Much of this was originally written for my 1964 Ranchero EFI conversion, so many of the links are for Falcon-specific parts, but the details provided are applicable to pretty much any EFI system. Information Sources A DIY EFI swap is, like most other DIY projects, about saving money by doing things yourself and/or learning about how to do those things. You are spending your time to learn about something and do it yourself instead of paying someone else who already knows how to do it. This means that you will be first and foremost learning how to do the work involved, and that means reading up on details, making decisions, and then doing the work. Since the first step is the reading and learning, the first place I am starting here is by listing all of the places that I found helpful when I got started. If you do not like to read and learn, then I suggest you get a pre-made EFI swap kit or have someone do the EFI swap for you.

A pressure sensor is a device which senses pressure and converts it into an analog electric signal whose magnitude depends upon the pressure applied. Since they convert pressure into an electrical signal, they are also termed as pressure transducers.

Inside the car there are a series of ducting or blend doors and their respective controls. I am not really going to give a class on how the ac system works I will save that for another article. Anytime you notice a situation where the Ac system isn’t blowing cold air, there is some sort of a problem with the ac system. Driving down the road at 60 mph brings in a rush of air that may feel cool to you, just like standing in front of a box fan in your house provides some temperature decrease. But if the ac doesn’t actually feel cold there is a problem. When the ac system is in fact not performing as it should a diagnoses must be performed. When an ac system has a low charge the performance will most definitely suffer."

It’s a great question, and one that needs a little explanation….so here it goes. First, lets talk about the color of the light that has come on. Think of your dashboard as a traffic signal, Yellow meaning caution, and RED meaning stop immediately – danger!YELLOW LIGHTS – Service engine soon, check engine, Anti lock brake system, low washer fluid, low tire pressure, traction control, air bag, taillight bulb out warning are all common yellow warning indicator lights. RED LIGHTS – low oil pressure, engine overheating, brake problems, low battery voltage are all common red warning indicator lights. Yellow means, at your convenience get a mechanic to hook up their computer to your vehicle computer and read the “codes” that might be stored on your computer memory to determine what has happened. Usually a yellow light will not leave you stranded, or cause the engine to not start. It’s a caution message from your onboard computer saying …”something weird has happened and I need you to look into this when you have a minute”. Now, yellow does not mean just continue driving as normal for months putting this warning off and off and off, but you don’t have to stop what you are doing and head to the mechanic either. Red means STOP, like STOP NOW!"

For instance, tortoises are almost always exclusively herbivores. Their diets usually consist 100% of plant origin. Most aquatic turtles are carnivores. ( However this still depends on the species of aquatic turtle) and requires a diet that contains anywhere from 65 to 90% meat. The remaining 10 to 35% is vegetable based. Semi aquatic turtles are usually mostly omnivores and their nutritional requirements are usually best met with a diet that is 50% meat and 50% vegetable. Depending on the species these percentages may vary. Since a turtle’s diet depends on its species it is important to know what kind of species your turtle is and then adjust its diet based off of this."

"text": "\"Explain how energy is transferred through food chains and food webs in an ecosystem Edit 0 10 …0 Tags No tags Notify RSSBacklinks Source Print Export (PDF)Answers to the 9 mark question on energy transfer Energy is transferred through the separate trophic levels of a food chain or web by feeding. The first trophic level (producers) is that of plants which are examples of autotrophs – they make their own food. Photosynthesis occurs when the plants use solar energy and convert it into chemical energy so it can be stored in a carbon compound. Once this has happened the energy can be taken up by the primary consumers – these are in the second trophic level (herbivores and omnivores). Secondary consumers also need to gain energy in some way, and this is by eating the primary consumers that have gained energy from the producers, this means that the second trophic level has successfully transferred energy into the third level containing omnivores and carnivores. A succession in energy transferral means that a food web or food chain has a tertiary and/or quaternary trophic level which can contain carnivores and omnivores which are plant and animal eaters (this includes humans). This transfer in energy is fairly efficient for the organisms involved as around 10% of light energy that is converted into chemical energy through photosynthesis is transferred through the trophic levels, the rest is lost in respiration, as heat, faeces and urine. Not all of the energy can be passed along a food web or chain as it must be used in other things too, so it cannot be 100% efficient. Kirsty Leithall. The food chain begins with producers, organisms such as green plants, that can make their own food."

At first glance, the lack of marketing and advertising as well as lack of flavor enhancement may not sound very good, but once you really look at it, the things this food chain is lacking actually make you food heatlhier. A Healthier You \"\" The Omnivore's Dilemma \"\" By Michael Pollan “ Animals raised in pastures have less fat than grain-fed animals” (Pollan 198) Not only can larger portions of food make you fat, fat can make you fat. Due to the fact that corn is cheaper than grass, many farms feed animals corn instead of grass. However, in turn it has been discovered that grain-fed beef has a higher fat content, the kind of fats you don't want. Grain-fed beef does not have a healthy balance of Omega-6 fatty acids to Omega-3's which can lead to sickness and obesity. Grass-fed beef, like the ones found on a Local Sustainable farm, contains less fat and has a healthier balance of fats. The Rest Of The Food Chains As we've learned through the informative text \"\"The Omnivore's Dilemma\"\" by journalist Michael Pollan, there are three other food chains: Industrial, Industrial Organic and Hunter Gatherer. Industrial includes lost of processing and many uses for corn."

Credit: Gudkov Andrey / Shutterstock.com A carnivore is an animal or plant that eats the flesh of animals. Most, but not all, carnivorous animals are members of the Carnivora order; also, not all members of the Carnivora order are carnivorous. \"\" A 'carnivore' is simply any species that eats meat, and this can range from carnivorous plants and insects to what we typically think of when we hear the word carnivore, like tigers or wolves,\"\" Kyle Mc Carthy, an assistant professor of wildlife ecology in the University of Delaware's College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, told Live Science. Carnivora is an order of mammals that includes canids such as wolves, dogs; felids (cats); ursids (bears); mustelids (weasels); procyonids (raccoons); pinnipeds (seals); and others, according to Encyclopedia Britannica, making up 12 families and 270 species in all. While some carnivores do eat only meat, some carnivores also supplement their diets with vegetation on occasion. For example, bears are omnivores — they eat plants and meat — and pandas are herbivores, which primarily eat plants, further explained Mc Carthy. Venus flytraps have hinged leaves that snap shut when prey triggers sensitive hairs.

"text": "The desert is one of the world’s most inhospitable habitats. Animals who live in the desert have evolved adaptations to help them survive in these water-depleted environments. Besides the scarcity of water, most deserts provide very little food for the resident animals. Some animals -- including lizards, birds and mammals – have adopted omnivorous habits in the wild, consuming both plant and animal matter. Lizards Lizards are important omnivores in desert ecosystems. Inland bearded dragons (Pogona vitticeps) are agamid lizards from the central deserts of Australia. Bearded dragons consume invertebrates like locusts, spiders and roaches, but they also consume leaves, fruit and flowers. Bearded dragons are capable of eating large quantities of food, gorging themselves when the opportunity exists. Most desert lizards derive at least some of their water from the plant material they eat, further aiding their survival in the desert.

Opticians determine the specifications of various ophthalmic appliances that will give the necessary correction to a person's eyesight. Some registered or licensed opticians also design and fit special appliances to correct cosmetic, traumatic or anatomical defects. These devices are called shells or artificial eyes. Other registered or licensed opticians manufacture lenses to their own specifications and design and manufacture spectacle frames and other devices. [ 1] [2]Corrective ophthalmic appliances may be contact lenses, spectacles lenses, low vision aids or ophthalmic prosthetics to those who are partially sighted. The appliances are mounted either on the eye as contact lenses or mounted in a frame or holder in front of the eye as spectacles or as a monocle. Opticians may work in any variety of settings such as joint practice, hospitals, laboratories, eye care centers or retail stores."

"text": "Home › Knowledge Centre › Health Guides › Eyes - what they can tell you about your health Eyes - what they can tell you about your health Written by: Simon Crompton, medical writer & author A new generation of high-tech eye scans can detect everything from brain tumours to heart disease Eyes, they say, are the windows of the soul, but technological advances mean that they are rapidly becoming windows to our hearts, arteries, brain and nerves, too. Tests offered by high street opticians and optometrists have always been useful for spotting eye diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts and macular degeneration, and some other conditions such as diabetes, which can be detected by tiny bursts in the eye’s blood vessels. But now, if you’re prepared to pay extra, some opticians are offering high-tech tests involving laser scanning, digital photography and computerised assessment of your eye’s structure that can help to give an early diagnosis of other health problems too. More than half of all sight loss is due to preventable causes and experts believe that up to a quarter of people with undiagnosed diabetes would have the condition spotted if they went for an eye test. Traditionally, the optician has found ill-health hotspots by peering into your eye with a hand-held light/magnifier (an opthalmoscope). But now, new advanced instruments are making eye examinations not just more accurate but capable of diagnosing a much wider range of conditions. The eye has untapped potential as a means of diagnosing illness early because it is the only place in the human body where internal blood vessels and nerves can be viewed working undisturbed. High-quality images produced by these new techniques improve the chances of detecting conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, multiple sclerosis, stroke, diabetes and brain tumours through a simple eye check. “Opticians have long been very good at assessing the front of the eye for problems like cataracts,” says Andrew Coombes, a consultant eye surgeon at Barts and the London NHS Trust. “ But it’s been more difficult with the equipment they’ve had to carefully examine the back of the eye, in particular, the whole retina and the point where the optic nerve joins it."

Miller Last updated: April 5, 2018 80 Comments Ever wonder why eyeglasses are so expensive?60 Minutes had a really interesting piece on the Italian eyeglass manufacturer Luxottica that helps explain why. Luxottica manufactures just about every designer eyeglass brand in the market – Gucci, Prada, Ray Ban, Oakley, Polo, Ralph Lauren, Versace, Chanel, Chaps, Paul Smith, Vogue, etc., etc…Not only that, but they also own or run the retail channels – Lenscrafters, Pearle Vision, Sears Optical, Target Optical, Sunglass Hut, and Oliver Peoples. All but a few brands sold at these retailers are made by Luxottica. AND they even control some of the payment channel by owning the second largest vision insurer, Eyemed. So not only do they manufacturer a large majority of the glasses (their CEO estimated that at least half a billion people own a pair they manufactured) – but they also set the prices. If you’re an optician or retailer, you want their brands. If you’re a brand, you want to be in their stores. You have no negotiating room, and when you do compete, Luxottica refuses to sell your brand at their stores, and then buys you out after your stock sinks, as they did with Oakley. If you are insured by Eyemed and buy a Luxottica brand from Lenscrafters, for example, Luxottica has made the glasses, sold you the glasses at prices they’ve set, and even paid themselves for part of the glasses through their insurance arm."

"text": "\"January 2017Rx Pertise All About That BASE (CURVE)By Barry Santini Probably no topic is arguably more confusing, misunderstood or under-appreciated than how the choice of lens base curve can impact the optics, fit and cosmetics of a new pair of prescription glasses. For a long time it’s been far too convenient to target one of the above three, make it your top priority and dismiss the other two. But by doing so, you are almost always creating significant compromises with the others. Today, with the availability of advanced free-form lens design, accepting a compromise is no longer a legitimate choice. Therefore, the challenge facing eyecare professionals today is to learn how to achieve the best balance between optics, cosmetics and fit for every patient and every pair of eyeglasses. To fully acquire this skill set, ECPs need to understand how the human eye evolved to see the world. Second, they must also familiarize themselves with the history and fundamentals of best form/corrected curve theory. Finally, ECPs need to master how frame design, construction and fit all interact in a recipe for a pair of visually, functionally and cosmetically superlative eyewear. HOW WE SEE The human eye evolved from humble beginnings. Starting as a simple light-sensing device to help regulate diurnal activity, it developed into a direction-sensing organ featuring a symmetrical structure not wholly different in design from a wide-angle camera lens."

It is important to understand what each of the \"\"three Os\"\" is qualified to do. Ophthalmologists An ophthalmologist is a physician (doctor of medicine, MD, or doctor of osteopathy, DO) who specializes in the medical and surgical care of the eyes and visual system and in the prevention of eye disease and injury. An ophthalmologist has completed four or more years of college premedical education, four or more years of medical school, one year of internship and three or more years of specialized medical and surgical and refractive training and experience in eye care. An ophthalmologist is a specialist who is qualified by lengthy medical education, training and experience to diagnose, treat and manage all eye and visual systems and is licensed by a state regulatory board to practice medicine and surgery. An ophthalmologist is a medically trained specialist who can deliver total eye care: primary, secondary and tertiary (i.e., vision services, contact lenses, eye examinations, medical eye care and surgical eye care), diagnose general diseases of the body and treat ocular manifestations of systemic diseases. Optometrists An optometrist is a health service provider who is involved primarily with vision problems. Optometrists are specifically educated and trained by an accredited optometry college in a four year course, but have not attended medical school. They are state licensed to examine the eyes and to determine the presence of vision problems."

With an aging population more prone to vision issues, the United States is seeing a surge in the need for healthcare professionals who specialize in eye health. The U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts an almost 25 percent growth in employment opportunities for optometrists, which means earning your Doctor of Optometry degree can open the door to a lucrative, in-demand profession. What is an Optometrist? An optometrist is a doctor of optometry who delivers primary health care for the eyes. As the American Optometric Association explains, they are state-licensed professionals who do much more than write prescriptions for eyeglasses or contacts. They examine, diagnose and advise their patients on surgical and nonsurgical treatment options for a broad range of disorders, diseases and injuries to the eye, the visual system, and even systemic conditions that affect the eye like diabetes and hypertension. Optometrists do write prescriptions for eyeglasses and contacts; they also prescribe medications, therapies and rehabilitations. Some even perform certain types of eye surgeries, although they will generally refer patients needing surgery to ophthalmologists."

This will give you more selection when considering vintage and antique styles. Why were they smaller? Until the early 1950s, lenses were almost all glass, much heavier than modern plastic lenses. Smaller lenses meant lighter glasses!Compare Measurements Back to Top To check your measurements, look first to your current glasses. If you don't have any daily-wear glasses, you can use some sunglasses, keeping in mind that they'll tend to be a touch larger than prescription frames. The closer the style is to what you're considering purchasing, the better, since comparing a wire frame to a plastic frame can be a little like apples to oranges. If your glasses were made after 1950 or so, they might have some frame measurements etched on them already, though I still recommend measuring. If you're wearing contemporary, modern-style frames, the measurements you find written on your glasses may not translate directly to a vintage style of frame."

"text": "Optician Salary An optician is an important member of the eye care team who can have a dramatic impact on the success of an optical establishment. The optician frequently allocates a greater amount of time for interacting with customers than anyone else on the team. While an optician does not receive the kind of extensive professional training as that of an optometrist or physician, they often receive a salary that is in-line with their level of expertise and their impact on the business. The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimated the median annual wage of opticians to be $32,940 in May 2010. Indeed.com currently estimates the national average salary for opticians at around $33,000. The numbers referenced above reflect median wage. The bottom 10 percent of opticians earned less than $21,070 in 2010 while the top 10 percent earned more than $50,780 in 2010. As you can see, an optician salary can vary depending on a few different factors. You can also find your state specific median salaries in a table at the bottom of this page. Business Size and Services The first factor to consider when determining what an optician can expect to be paid is the type of establishment where the optician is employed."

"text": "For Healthcare Professionals Healthcare Compensation Career Choices What is an Ophthalmologist? Educational Requirements and Salary By Andrea Clement Santiago Updated May 12, 2017Share Pin Email Print Blend Images/Dream Pictures/Brand X Pictures/Getty Images An ophthalmologist is an eye doctor, a physician with an M. D. or D. O. degree from an accredited medical school. Like all physicians, an ophthalmologist completes extensive post-graduate residency clinical training after graduating from medical school. An ophthalmologist specializes in medical treatment or surgery of the eyes. Ophthalmologists can diagnose and treat any and all eye problems with a variety of remedies including prescribing drugs, performing surgery, or prescribing visual correction devices such as contacts or eye glasses. Ophthalmologists treat a wide variety of eye problems from common vision deficiencies to more serious conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, or cancers of the eyes. Optometrist vs. Ophthalmologist vs. Optician An optometrist is an eye doctor who has earned the Doctor of Optometry (OD) degree.

Opticians are often the 2nd professional patients see after visiting an optometrist or ophthalmologist, because they are the ones that fill the prescription for eyeglasses or contacts. For anyone who has issues with the eyeglass or contact lens fitting, visiting an optician is an option as their main role is helping in the selection of proper eye wear. One of the main roles of dispensing opticians, is to take care of eye wear prescriptions so when patients come in the optician helps find the proper eye wear, eyeglass frames or contact lenses to meet the patient’s needs in every facet from fashion to occupation. Opticians ensure that the eye wear is fitted properly, is comfortable, the prescription is filled accurately with the right eyeglass lenses or contact lenses, and the patient is properly informed of any issues like how to wear and how to care for. They also handle customers who come in with repair or replacement needs and help with the correction of issues. This may require contacting the optometrist or ophthalmologist to verify the prescription, and performing administrative duties such as order management and customer reconciliation. It is easy to see that opticians handle various consumer issues regarding their eye wear so customer service skills are necessary to succeed. What Opticians Don’t Do? Opticians can handle plenty of functions in a store from customer care to management but there are many functions that they are not qualified to complete."

"text": "\"Back | Print Optician, Optometrist, or Ophthalmologist: Which Do You Need to See? Whom you see may depend on the level of care you need. An optician is a specialist in fitting eyeglasses and making lenses to correct vision problems. An optometrist is a primary healthcare doctor of the eye and visual system who provides comprehensive eye and vision care, which includes refraction and dispensing, detection of disease in the eye, and the rehabilitation of conditions of the visual system. An optometrist may perform an eye exam and write a prescription for corrective lenses, while an optician may fill that prescription. Now let’s add one more “o” to the mix: An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor who specializes in all aspects of eye care including diagnosis, management, and surgery of ocular diseases and disorders. It’s common for ophthalmologists or optometrists to work side-by-side with opticians to serve a patient’s overall eye care and eyewear needs. Let’s use a real-life scenario: an optometrist conducts your thorough eye exam and prescribes corrective lenses. You’re then escorted to the eyeglass area where an optician helps you select your frames and lens options. If surgery is indicated or if the optometrist detects an eye concern that is outside of his or her scope of practice, you may be referred to an ophthalmologist for more advanced care."

"text": "Previously known as opticians, optometrists are trained to examine the eyes to detect defects in vision, signs of injury, ocular diseases or abnormality and problems with general health, such as high blood pressure or diabetes. They make a health assessment, offer clinical advice, prescribe spectacles or contact lenses and refer patients for further treatment, when necessary. Optometrists study at university for at least three years and must participate in a period of assessed clinical training in practice, before being deemed to have the knowledge and skills needed to be registered. Once registered, they have the opportunity to take further qualifications and develop their interests in specialist areas of practice. All optometrists practising in the UK must be registered with the General Optical Council, the profession’s regulatory body. When choosing an optometrist, look for the letters FCOptom or MCOptom after their name. It means that the optometrist is a fellow or member of the College and adheres to high standards of clinical practice. If you’d like to work in eye health care, but are not sure that optometry is for you, there are other roles you may be interested in: Dispensing optician Dispensing opticians advise on, fit and supply spectacle frames and lenses after taking account of each patient's lifestyle and vocational needs.

"text": "Optician Salary The salary for opticians, like most other occupations will vary, mainly through location because of the cost of living, but it is also affected by other factors as well. Experience is a reason for increased salary and opticians who have worked for a while and are licensed, even in states that do not require licensing, tend to earn more money. Licensed optician salary will depend on the state and area and could be lower than an unlicensed optician in another state. The type of work area also determines the salary for opticians who are employed in different industries such as the office of an optometrist, large department store, and hospitals will all make contrasting pay. Looking at the Numbers According to the BLS, the median annual pay for dispensing opticians in May of 2008 was $35,060, with the lowest 10% earning less than $21,250 and the top 10% earning over $50,580 based on a 40 hour work week. For May of 2009 these numbers decreased with a new median annual pay of $32,740 with the lowest 10% earning less than $21,120, and the top 10% earning over $50,560. Although some opticians are on a yearly salary, for those who are paid by the hour this comes out to a range of anywhere from just over $10 dollars to almost $25 per hour. Another point to look at when it comes to an optician’s yearly income is the industry they are employed in. Most are employed in offices of medical providers or in department stores, but some are employed in management positions or at hospitals where the hourly mean wage is above $20 per hour (although not too many opticians work in these industries). The hourly mean wage for offices and general department stores range from $15 to $19 dollars, resulting in yearly earnings from $32,000 to just under $40,000."

A normal fetus has a split lip and palate, but early in pregnancy, the sides of the lip and the roof of the mouth should fuse. Failure of fusion results in cleft lip and/or cleft palate.

Cleft lip is an abnormality in which the lip does not completely form during fetal development. The degree of the cleft lip can vary greatly, from mild (notching of the lip) to severe (large opening from the lip up through the nose), in which case the cleft can be very noticeable. What is cleft palate? Cleft palate occurs when the roof of the mouth does not completely close during fetal development, leaving an opening that can extend into the nasal cavity. The cleft may involve either side of the palate. It can extend from the front of the mouth (hard palate) to the throat (soft palate)."

Vocal cord paralysis is a common disorder, and symptoms can range from mild to life threatening. The vocal cords are two elastic bands of muscle tissue located in the larynx (voice box) directly above the trachea (windpipe). The vocal cords produce voice when air held in the lungs is released and passed through the closed vocal cords, causing them to vibrate. When a person is not speaking, the vocal cords remain apart to allow the person to breathe. Someone who has vocal cord paralysis often has difficulty swallowing and coughing because food or liquids slip into the trachea and lungs. This happens because the paralyzed cord or cords remain open, leaving the airway passage and the lungs unprotected. What causes vocal cord paralysis? Vocal cord paralysis may be caused by head trauma, a neurologic insult such as a stroke, a neck injury, lung or thyroid cancer, a tumor pressing on a nerve, or a viral infection. In older people, vocal cord paralysis is a common problem affecting voice production."

The odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is an enigmatic developmental cyst that deserves special attention. It has characteristic histopathological and clinical features; but, what makes this cyst special is its aggressive behavior and high recurrence rate. Despite of many classifications and nomenclature, unfortunately the clinicians still have to face difficulties in the management of this commonly found jaw lesion. This article is an effort to provide an overview of various aspects of OKC with emphasis on nomenclature, recurrence, molecular aspects, and management of OKC.

This diverse group of lesions exhibit varying presentations ranging from a small innocuous lesion, which may be detected accidentally or may present as a highly aggressive and destructive lesion that may even transform into a malignancy."

How Does Speech Therapy Help Children with Cerebral Palsy? Children’s speech and language development typically follows a pattern. Those with cerebral palsy may not progress as predictably – calling for speech therapy intervention. Speech problems include: Articulation disorders – Cerebral palsy patients may experience poor oral-motor control and muscle weakness in the head, neck, face and throat. These conditions interfere with a child’s ability to make sounds, form syllables, and say words. Pronounced articulation problems can make it difficult or impossible for others to understand a child’s speech."

"text": "What is dysphagia? People with dysphagia have difficulty swallowing and may even experience pain while swallowing (odynophagia). Some people may be completely unable to swallow or may have trouble safely swallowing liquids, foods, or saliva. When that happens, eating becomes a challenge. Often, dysphagia makes it difficult to take in enough calories and fluids to nourish the body and can lead to additional serious medical problems. How do we swallow? Swallowing is a complex process. Some 50 pairs of muscles and many nerves work to receive food into the mouth, prepare it, and move it from the mouth to the stomach. This happens in three stages. During the first stage, called the oral phase, the tongue collects the food or liquid, making it ready for swallowing."

"text": "\"Structures involved in speech and voice production What is voice? The sound of your voice is produced by vibration of the vocal folds, which are two bands of smooth muscle tissue that are positioned opposite each other in the larynx. The larynx is located between the base of the tongue and the top of the trachea, which is the passageway to the lungs (see figure). When you are not speaking, the vocal folds are open so that you can breathe. When it's time to speak, however, the brain orchestrates a series of events. The vocal folds snap together while air from the lungs blows past, making them vibrate. The vibrations produce sound waves that travel through the throat, nose, and mouth, which act as resonating cavities to modulate the sound. The quality of your voice—its pitch, volume, and tone—is determined by the size and shape of the vocal folds and the resonating cavities. This is why people's voices sound so different. Many people use their voices for their work."

This is not the same as muscle weakness; however, patients with hypotonia often do have weaker muscles. With hypotonia, the brain fails to transmit the proper electrical signals to the muscles that tell them to contract. Hypotonia may be present in varying degrees of severity. It can be caused by a wide range of diseases and conditions, including muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, trauma, and genetic disorders. What Does This Mean For My Child? Children with hypotonia are sometimes referred to as having “rag doll” syndrome or “floppy baby” syndrome. They cannot properly hold up their heads and their arms tend to lay by their sides. If your child has hypotonia, he likely has poor mobility, poor flexibility, and reduced feeding abilities."

David Forcione, MDWhat is Barrett’s esophagus? Barrett's esophagus is a condition affecting the lining of the esophagus, the swallowing tube that carries foods and liquids from the mouth to the stomach. The condition was first described in 1950 by Dr. Norman Barrett, a British thoracic surgeon. Since this original description, numerous advances have been made in our understanding of Barrett's esophagus. Barrett’s esophagus is a change in the lining of the esophagus from a normal, white lining (known as squamous mucosa) to a pink/red lining (known as intestinal-type mucosa). This change occurs over many years and is the esophageal response to chronic exposure to harmful chemicals from the stomach, most notably reflux of acid and bile. The intestinal-type mucosa of Barrett's esophagus is thought to be more resilient, and is less prone to inflammation. Unfortunately, intestinal-type mucosa also appears to be a more unstable lining. This lining is more likely to undergo cellular changes that may lead to cancer."

We all can tell when someone doesn’t feel good to us, like they are full of anger or if they really live in their heart and feel deeply. You do not need to be psychic to feel/read an aura. If a person walks past, very close to you, they may unintentionally steal some of your energy. If someone suddenly reaches out and grabs your arm, they are interrupting the flow of energy around your body. An example of this might be a time when you were talking to someone and you thought they were standing to close to you.

This is the most widely accepted color system for the chakras. In my experience, the colors are not stable and permanent as you would see colors in a picture. The colors are fluid, constantly changing just as your emotions change. The colors seen in your chakras can be muddy, faded with very little color present, or even too saturated - too bright. The color of a chakra indicates your current physical, emotional, and spiritual state. We all recognize the connection between color and emotion."

Xisca said: ↑I think hyperventilation triggers the fight flight freeze response, aka sympathic activation that can lead to a strong parasympathic blocage by the vago-dorsal branch (see Porges for the polyvagal theory) This may be the case, but I think CO2 also has some more direct effects on both nerves and muscles - muscles can cramp because low CO2 changes the threshold for contraction, and then low CO2 does not allow them to relax correctly after contraction.

Yellow flame means carbon monoxide, orange flames means dirty air. Propane burns with the same blue to blue white flame as natural gas when it is properly mixed with combustion air and complete combustion is taking place. Orange streaks indicate the air has lots of dust in it or the burners may be slightly dirty. If there is yellow in the flame, that is the carbon becoming incandescent in the heat of the flame as carbon monoxide is produced. Carbon monoxide is a deadly poison!"

That is my hypothesis. I chose this topic because I have always been skeptical about the validity of the quantity of electrolytes said to be in sports drinks. Sports drinks have been recommended as a way to replace electrolytes lost during exercising. However, orange juice also has electrolytes and these are naturally occurring, not man made. Although water is also a liquid recommended for exercise, it is not used for strenuous exercise because it has no electrolytes. I predict that while running an electric charge through both orange juice and a sports drink by using an ammeter, the conductance of the orange juice will be greater than that of the sports drink. The greater conductance of the orange juice will mean a greater concentration of electrolytes, thus proving my hypothesis. Background Information: Electrolytes are electrically-charged ions that move either positive or negative electrodes. Body fluids such as plasma and blood have a high sodium chloride (Na Cl) concentration."

"text": "July 1, 2005The Incredible, Edible Egg Yolk Follow Ten years ago, someone who cared about their health would likely eat egg whites and throw the yolks away because they were afraid their cholesterol content would cause heart disease. Now that the consensus against cholesterol is crumbling, we are no longer so fearful of egg yolks. But did you know that egg yolks are actually a superfood jam-packed with nutrients? Egg yolks are rich in a broad array of nutrients that makes them a great multivitamin, but there are three vitamins that they are exceptionally rich in. So let’s kick off our discussion by looking at these three. Protect Your Heart With Vitamin K2Over the last decade, we have learned about the incredibly important role of vitamin K2 in protecting against heart disease. Most heart attacks and strokes occur because a plaque within an artery ruptures, causing a clot to develop that blocks the blood supply to the heart or brain. Plaques are much more likely to rupture when they accumulate calcium deposits, which makes them fragile. Vitamin K2 is the single most important nutrient that prevents our arteries from accumulating these calcium deposits. Vitamin K occurs in two forms: vitamin K1 is found in leafy greens, while vitamin K2 is found in animal fats and fermented foods."

"text": "\"Tom Ford Velvet Orchid ~ fragrance review Posted by Angela on 16 June 2014 87 Comments The old saying has it that “everything old is new again.” Tom Ford Velvet Orchid, a salute to the grand oriental perfumes of the 1980s, seems to have taken that saying to heart. Lovers of Yves Saint Laurent Opium, Estée Lauder Cinnabar, Boucheron de Boucheron, and other room-permeating, spicy-woody-ambery fragrances will want to give it a try. Fans of Velvet Orchid’s older sibling, Black Orchid, will probably see no reason to switch. Velvet Orchid’s notes include bergamot, mandarin, honey, vanilla, orange blossom, rose, jasmine, narcissus, magnolia, Cattleya leopoldii orchid, heliotrope, rum, suede, labdanum, sandalwood, and myrrh — not that any of these notes stand out distinctly. Even without the gorgeous deco bottle and “orchid” in its name, a single whiff ties Velvet Orchid to Black Orchid. Although Velvet Orchid has the guts to take the ring with any of the big orientals, it’s billed as a floriental fragrance. And maybe compared to Black Orchid, it is. I imagine the Velvet Orchid’s team of perfumers, including big names Antoine Maisondieu, Shyamala Maisondieu, Calice Becker and Yann Vasnier, plus a crowd of interns and not-yet famous noses, pondering how to transform Black Orchid. “We’ve got to make it more feminine,” Yann Vasnier might have said. “"

Orchid Gardening When gardening orchid flowers, important points to remember are that orchids can grow in cool, intermediate and warm climates. They generally do not prefer excessive direct sunlight. Many types of orchids can be grown in pots as well, just be sure they get enough moisture as the pots can tend to dry out faster than open ground.

Artificial vanilla simply won't do. A Rare Commodity When I hear the term \"\"vanilla\"\" used to describe everything from software to soup, and meaning default, plain or boring, I'm at a loss. Given its market price, vanilla is a rare commodity, and its depth of flavor ranks it right up there with the finest wines. \"\" In fact, we use terms like 'creamy, spicy, woody, floral and fruity' when we taste vanilla,\"\" says Beth Nielsen of Nielsen-Massey Vanillas in Waukegan, Ill.

Beth and her brothers, Craig and Matt, are the Nielsen triumvirate running the family business started by their grandfather in 1907, which today ships worldwide and has a second processing plant in the Netherlands. Where Does Vanilla Come From? Vanilla originated in Mexico with the Totonaco Indians, who were conquered by the Aztecs who, in turn, were conquered by Hernando Cortez. Along with other plunder, Cortez took cacao beans and vanilla pods back to Spain and the rest is history. Vanilla pods, commonly called vanilla beans, are the fruit of the vanilla orchid, the only orchid plant that produces an edible fruit."

Not every orchid plant can be coaxed to rebloom, and you may have to wait for your Just Add Ice Orchid to progress through the normal annual growth cycle; but many plants can be encouraged to bloom a second time. To prompt reblooming, follow these steps: When flowering is complete, fertilize your Just Add Ice Orchid every other week. More frequent than normal fertilizing provides the extra nutrients plants need to flower. To fertilize, mix a balanced houseplant fertilizer with water using half the recommended amount of fertilizer. Place orchid pot in the sink and pour in fertilizer solution, taking care to add liquid under the leaves. Add fertilizer solution until growing medium is thoroughly soaked and excess liquid runs out of the drainage holes in the bottom of the pot. Water your orchid with 3 ice cubes every other week on the weeks you do not add fertilizer. For the next month, keep your Just Add Ice Orchid where nighttime temperatures are somewhat cooler than daytime temperatures."

"text": "A monthly growers advice column by Courtney Hackney. [email protected] Most orchids grown by hobbyists are tropical in nature. That term was once thought to mean “hot and steamy” and tens of thousands of orchids imported to Europe in the 19 th Century perished as a result. Many tropical orchids prefer cool nights because they or their ancestors evolved in higher tropical elevations or were subjected to cool breezes during the day. There are some species that do come from hot and steamy places and the challenge for orchid hobbyists is to grow them all in one place, whether it is a windowsill or greenhouse. Commercial orchid nurseries and large private collections often have individual growing areas devoted to orchids that derive from different tropical habitats. Cymbidiums prefer and even require cool temperatures to flower well. Many claim that they flower best when nighttime temperatures reach near freezing. Laelia anceps also prefers these cool night temperatures and it is common to find them with Cymbidiums in California. While L anceps and members of the Cymbidium genus are not related, they come from similar habitats and so require similar growing conditions."

It shows a flower — specifically an orchid — that looks just like a monkey. People have been attaching the photo to emails and then commenting on it, describing the plant's supposed origin in the Andes, and even its classification. Read on to discover the details behind the photo, what people have been saying about it, and the facts of the matter. Example Email This email was shared on Facebook on Nov. 24, 2012: Monkey Orchids Nature doesn’t need an audience. These wonderful orchids come from the south-eastern Ecuadorian and Peruvian cloud forests from elevations of 1000 to 2000 meters and as such not many people throughout history got to see them. However, thanks to intrepid collectors we do get to see this wonderful Monkey Orchid. Someone didn’t need much imagination to name it though, let’s face it. Its scientific name is Dracula simia, the last part nodding toward the fact that this remarkable orchid bears more than a passing resemblance to a monkey’s face – although we won’t go as far as to be species specific on this one. The Dracula (genus) part of its name refers to the strange characteristic of the two long spurs of the sepals, reminiscent of the fangs of a certain Transylvanian count of film and fiction fame."

"text": "Known for its lovely, bright flowers, the Hong Kong orchid tree (Bauhinia blakeana or Bauhinia x blakeana) does double duty in the home landscape as both a flowering ornamental and a tree for lining driveways, curbs or streets. Although it is a shorter tree, it is still a dramatic addition to warm-weather gardens. Identification Bauhinia species are native to parts of India, China, Malaysia and the tropics of Africa. There are several species, and although many of them are often lumped under the name Hong Kong orchid tree, Bauhinia blakeana is the only true one when it comes to this plant. It is a considerably tender tree that will not tolerate cold well, and is winter hardy in U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 9b through 11. Its late fall and winter blooms are red or purple, and quite showy. Growth Habits The orchid tree has a fast growth rate, which means it is capable of adding 24 inches or more to its height in a single growing season. Because it reaches a maximum height of 20 to 40 feet, it may reach full growth in as little as 10 years. Its spread is between 20 and 25 feet, giving it an irregular vase shape. It generally grows as a tree with several trunks rather than a single main trunk."

It’s a bit scary and sad to think that many of the exotic ones are endangered or are on the verge of extinction. Here is my top ten list of known orchids that look like animals. Dracula simia has a medium-sized monkey face that can blossom with different facial expressions. Another example of dracula simia."

It spends most of its life underground and has a tendency to disappear and suddenly reappear unexpectedly in an area (6). Furthermore, this orchid certainly does have a ghostly quality; it completely lacks chlorophyll, the green pigment found in most plants, and so has a pale, waxy appearance (6). The stem is translucent, slightly tinged with pink, and with many reddish streaks. Leaves are reduced to small scales at the base of the plant and higher up they take the form of one or two sheaths that fit snugly around the stem. One to four pale flowers are produced, which hang on fine stalks and are spotted with violet (2). This species has a long-lived underground storage organ known as a rhizome that is said to look like coral (3). Also known as spurred coral-root. Size Stem length: 5 - 20 cm (2)Size of flowers (measured vertically): 15 - 20 mm (3)More »Related species Bulbophyllum (Bulbophyllum resupinatum)Ophrys (Ophrys arachnitiformis)Hemipilia (Hemipilia henryi)Top Ghost orchid biology The ghost orchid is saprophytic, which means it obtains nutrients from dead organic matter. It lacks the green pigment chlorophyll as it does not photosynthesize."

They can be found in all continents except Antarctica where the climate is very cold. These flowers are most abundant in places like Southeast Asia, South America, and other places with warm climates. They grow in rainforest-type places. See the Best Companies to Buy Orchids Online here and also Check out the best Orchids on Amazon here >Since there are many countries that are under this category, let us narrow down the top ten countries where orchids grow naturally: Brazil has climate ranges from hot and dry in the interior to the hot, humid tropical rainforests of the Amazon jungle. Because most of the country is located in the tropical zone, its climate has a little seasonal variation. However, its year-long climate varies from the Tropical North to the temperate zones. Brazil has five climactic regions: equatorial, tropical, semiarid, highland tropical, and subtropical. Coastal Brazil tends to be hot and sticky for most of the year but it can get cold in the south and in the mountains during the winter months. Rainy season occurs from January to April in the north, April to July in the northeast and November to March in the Rio and Sao Paulo area."

"text": "Potting Orchids Orchids do not grow in soil. Soil does not allow enough air to flow around orchid roots. There are many materials which can anchor orchid roots while still permitting air to move around them. Ground tree bark and moss are two of the most common. They are often combined with perlite, vermiculite, or charcoal to keep the mix open and permit air flow. Do not use barbecue charcoal since it contains chemicals that will kill the plant. Most orchids are air plants -- In the wild orchids are epiphytes, or air plants, growing with their roots exposed to the elements. In a pot with moss or bark, orchid roots don't enjoy the same air movement. When the potting media starts to decompose, even less air can move through it. Some plants, like Paphiopedilums, are sensitive to decomposing potting media and need to be repotted annually."

"text": "Orchid Fertilizer Generally orchids require less fertilizer than most other plants. It is far more harmful to give an orchid too much orchid fertilizer than too little. In fact, orchids can go on living happily without any added nutrients. But feeding them the right amount of orchid fertilizer at the right time can lead to more brilliant flowers and stronger growth. Timing Personally, I don’t like to lose sleep over fertilizing my orchids, so I follow the simple “weakly weekly” routine, which means I supply half or even a quarter of the amount prescribed on the label on a weekly basis. And at least once a month, I water without any fertilizer to flush out any mineral build-ups in the pots. In the winter, or when the plants are not actively growing, don’t fertilize the orchids at all. Your plants have no need for extra nutrients during that period. Natural Environments Most orchids are epiphytes. That means they live on trees with their roots clinging on branches and hanging in the air."

T HE beauty, complexity and incredible diversity of orchid flowers are unrivalled in the plant world. These exotic beauties comprise the largest family of flowering plants on earth, with over 30,000 different species, and at least 200,000 hybrids. Orchids can be found in the equatorial tropics, the arctic tundra, and everywhere in between. The reason for this diversity lies in the orchid’s amazing ability to adapt to its given environment. With so many different orchid varieties that thrive in so many different growing conditions, it is relatively easy to find an orchid that is well suited to the conditions that you can provide — whether it is a kitchen window or a full-size greenhouse. Most cultivated orchids are native to the tropics. In their natural habitat, they attach themselves to the bark of trees, or the surface of other plants. Their thick, white roots are specially adapted to absorb moisture and dissolved nutrients. Because these tropical orchids usually grow high in the trees, rather than on the forest floor, they are accustomed to good air circulation and plenty of light."

If bees or wasps are a problem, getting into the nectar of your hummingbird feeder or preventing your hummingbirds from feeding, here are a few tips you can use:* Use a hummingbird feeder with bee guards, so the bees can’t get into the nectar. * Try feeders that have no yellow in them. The color yellow could be attractive to bees. Try painting the yellow parts with red nail color. * If the bees are actually yellow jackets, a kind of wasp, you may be able to reduce the population with yellow jacket traps. * Relocate the feeder: Once hummingbirds find a food source, they will visit it frequently. Insects are only likely to visit convenient food sources and are less inclined to search for relocated feeders. Moving the feeder by just a few feet can minimize the insect visitors without discouraging the hummingbirds or orioles. * Move your hummingbird feeder to a very shady location."

By learning the tricks to attracting orioles you can easily invite them to become regular visitors. Why We Love Orioles The bright orange, black, and yellow plumage of orioles is a striking contrast to many less colorful backyard birds, and their rich, musical song is welcome to the ears. These aren’t the only reasons orioles are highly desirable backyard birds, however. Because their preferred foods are nectar, fruit, and jelly, they do not scatter seeds throughout the yard that may grow in unwanted places. Orioles also eat a wide range of insects, providing natural, effective pest control in the garden and yard. Backyard birders who know how to attract orioles with the four basic necessities of a bird’s life —food, water, shelter, and nesting sites—can take advantage of all orioles have to offer.

But most birds don't live in a nest year round, even at night. By August, many birds have left the nest behind. So, after they spend the day flying and foraging, where do they go at night? What most birds do at night is roost: they find a safe place to sleep, and enter it secretively so that predators don't see. Some birds - like these young Eurasian Tree Sparrows - nestle together and perch on a branch. Learn more about these sparrows at The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.

"text": "Cal Ripken This article was written by Jimmy Keenan On a warm September evening in 1995 at Baltimore’s Camden Yards, Oriole shortstop Cal Ripken Jr. helped restore America’s faith in baseball. The contentious nature of the previous year’s strike had left many of the sport’s dedicated fans wondering what the future held for their beloved national pastime. Following the 1919 Black Sox scandal, the great Babe Ruth inspired disillusioned fans with his towering home runs and larger than life persona. Years later, Cal Ripken’s unparalleled work ethic and outstanding play on the diamond gave alienated fans of another generation a reason to come back to the game. Calvin Edwin “Cal” Ripken was born on August 24, 1960, in Havre De Grace, Maryland and was raised in nearby Aberdeen. He was the second child and first son of Violet “Vi” and Calvin Edwin “Cal” Ripken Sr. Ripken Sr. was a former professional baseball player who started his career as a highly touted catcher in the Baltimore farm system. After suffering a career-ending shoulder injury, he went on to manage a number of the Orioles’ minor league affiliates, eventually working his way up to Baltimore where he coached and later managed the Orioles. The Senior Ripken was an astute baseball man who willingly shared his knowledge of the game with hundreds of players who came through the Oriole farm system."

It is endemic to the Cape Verde Islands, in the eastern Atlantic Ocean. It was first collected by Charles Darwin, and was described for him by John Gould, as with the Darwin's finches. It is sometimes considered to be a subspecies of the Great Sparrow of mainland Africa, but it actually is more closely related to the House Sparrow and the Spanish Sparrow.

"text": "An orthopedic specialist, also commonly referred to as an orthopedist or orthopedic surgeon, diagnoses and attempts to remedy medical problems related to the human skeleton, joints, tendons and ligaments. She may also treat disorders related to the nervous system that are related to the spine. The medical problems she addresses may be the result of birth defects, injury or aging. The specialist may treat the ailments with physical or drug therapy. Surgery is also a common option to solve some orthopedic problems. Some orthopedic specialists maintain a general medical practice but most specialize in one specific area of orthopedics. These specialties commonly include spinal disorders, arthroscopy and joint replacement, and hand surgery. Most practices do not discriminate between acute and chronic disorders. An orthopedic specialist frequently works exclusively in the field of trauma medicine, limiting their treatment to patients in emergency rooms or trauma clinics. A significant number of these specialists are found in the area of sports medicine."

"text": "Archives | 1989Birth Control Industry Is Being Transformed By MILT FREUDENHEIMView page in Times Machine, Page 00001 The New York Times Archives The birth control industry has changed radically in recent years. Research spending is down and the number of companies offering contraceptive products has fallen off sharply, but the field has been lucrative for those that remain. Buoyed by pretax profit margins that analysts say can be as great as 35 to 40 percent, a few companies are working to bring new products to the marketplace, including an implantable device that lasts two to five years. Half a dozen American companies still make birth control pills. But only the Ortho Pharmaceutical Corporation and Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories, which are battling for leadership in the $900 million United States market, are spending money on research and development that could lead to new technology. In Europe, Schering A. G. of West Berlin and the Organon Group subsidiary of Akzo N. V. in the Netherlands are also conducting contraceptive research. Concern on Lack of Research Many experts in the field are concerned that not enough research is being performed to assure new products in the next decade. In the nearer term, however, consumers are likely to see some new products that could make birth control easier for some women, although most of these are essentially variations on existing technology. Ortho, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, has long been the leader in oral contraceptives in the United States. Industry analysts said Ortho had about 41 percent of the market in 1988."

I wouldn't compare it to physical therapy... although PT and nursing have to work together. Typically our PT gets the patient up the first time and then gives us the heads up on whether the pt can make it to the BSC or BR, with or without a walker, with assist of 1 or 2...light assist or strong assist. Lots of pain control. Lots of PCA and pain med pushes. Have to keep up on the vitals and labs."

( Topic#13101)silverbackbob Total Posts: 251007-08-07 06:31 AM - Post# 321180I've been fighting a bum shoulder for about 4 months. My chiropractor thinks that I have a strained rotator cuff, and told me just to rest it and not do anything that hurts-lifting wise. Well, I'm tired of it and ready to take the next step and get a REAL professional opinion. I love my chiro for what he does, but I want to get this behind me and be able to attack the iron again. So, my question is, what kind of doctor should I go see? The yellow pages is an alphabet soup of titles and specialties and I don't want to go see one who will just want to drug me or cut on me right away. Any suggestions?? Thanks in advance. Bob."

Similar to other injuries we see, people are more active and stay active longer. It has only been 5-10 years since we have started to identify a common cause of hip pain — Tears of the labrum in the hip. In addition, we have identified anatomical reasons why you might have developed a labrum tear in your hip. This is a guest blog post by Derek Ochiai, MD. He is a Sports Medicine trained Orthopedic Surgeon with a particular interest focus on the hip. Nowadays, it is rather commonplace to read about an athlete undergoing hip arthroscopy for a labral tear of the hip. This hip pain post will review:what is a hip labrum?why is the hip labrum important,how the hip labrum tearswhat kind of treatment is available for hip pain due to labrum tears What is a labrum? The labrum is a rim of cartilage that surrounds the hip joint. It attaches to the socket of the acetabulum."

Luks, MDThe clavicle or collarbone is one of the most commonly broken bones in our body. The clavicle will break or fracture if you fall onto the side of your shoulder. Once struck you will notice pain, and you will usually notice a bump in the middle of your collarbone. Most clavicle fractures will heal well without surgery. Most athletes will return to sports after their clavicle has healed. What should your next steps be to manage your clavicle fracture? For a long time there was a ton of controversy about the best way to manage a clavicle fracture. Many surgeons felt that all collar bone fractures should be treated surgically, yet other surgeons were firmly in the camp of treating most fractures without surgery. What does the research show about clavicle fractures? In this post, we are going to try to help teach more about clavicle fractures and what the research says your options are."

One thing I can tell you: being Ortho does not mean he is familiar with SIJ problems and can diagnose you right. Unfortunately no test showing any problems, only a good knowlegable in SIJ Dr can diagnose you. It actually takes 5 min for him to know exactly where the problem is coming from."

With the change, Ortho Tri-Cyclen cost much more than its generic alternative, Tri Nessa. Increasingly, insurance plans across the country are raising fees for brand-name drugs to help steer people toward lower-cost generics. What worried my colleague were bad reviews that Tri Nessa had received on various Web sites. Although many women said they didn’t notice any difference between Ortho Tri-Cyclen and Tri Nessa, other women insisted they did. When I looked on the Web, here are some of the kinds of comments I found:“I had taken Ortho for years and then the pharmacy switched me to Tri Nessa. About 3 months later I was having terrible effects, such as major depression, uncontrollable crying alternating with uncontrollable rage, anger, sadness ... Physical effects included a skin rash like hives all over my neck and ears, extreme night sweats, hair loss and weight gain.” — from the Aphrodite discussion forum“DO NOT TAKE TRI NESSA!!!

Originating in the waters of the Amazon, the Oscar fish is another extremely popular fish. Their popularity stems from their personality, which has been compared to that of a puppy. Many keepers experience begging around meal times or the seemingly playful greetings they receive from their fish when they get home. There are a few color varieties of the Oscar Fish including albino, olive-green, brown and dark gray. They can get quite large, usually 12-14 inches and should be kept in a 75 gallon or larger aquarium. The Oscar is also known for being one of the more messy tropical fish to keep. Try to get the best filtration system possible for them and be prepared to perform frequent water changes. They are known to rearrange their environment from time to time and to bash in to filter uptake tubes and heaters. If you are wanting to keep live plants in an aquarium you may not want to get an Oscar because they love to dig up plants."

Finally, cardinal tetras are dither fish. Dither fish can have a strong calming effect on more timid, larger fish like discus. The small dither fish swim back and forth in the aquarium, out in the open. The discus notice that these small fish seem secure in their environment.

"text": "What Is Kosher? – General Overview Kosher is a process of food production that adheres to dietary guidelines set forth in the Bible and clarified over the centuries by rabbinic authorities in Jewish law. Kosher observance is a historical, communal, and personal commitment, and a connection to the will of the Creator. To those who observe kosher, its concepts also offer reminders of lessons in kindness and sensitivity to animals, attention to detail in everyday matters, self-control, and thinking before acting. The eternal principles of kosher are applicable to even the most modern food production methods. They guide how foods are chosen and processed, the quality and integrity of the ingredients, and the security of food prep areas, to ensure that the status of the food and equipment is never compromised. Kosher means “fit” or “proper”– a concept associated with cleanliness, purity and extra supervision. Kosher food is by nature more controlled than many other means of food production. While kosher is primarily an ethical or faith-based observance, there are some potential benefits to eating kosher. For instance, kosher menus separate dairy from meat products."

In the interest of eating healthy occasionally, for a few months Ive been having sardines for lunch every now and then. The standard supermarket brands were sampled: King Oscar, Bumble Bee, Brunswick and Beach Cliff. There were a few lesser known supermarket brands: Yankee Clipper, Gourmet Award. Then there were some types that are found usually in ethnic and/or gourmet stores: Albo, Madrigal, Palacio Real, Mega and Angelo Pardoni Ill probably branch out in the next few months with more imported brands from ethnic stores. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Toward the end it was this: - SHAPE- Sardines should keep their shape some fall apart or are mushy in texture - INGREDIANTS - Whatever they are packed in (oil, water, tomato paste, mustard, hot sauce, salsa, pesto, etc.) should balance and enhance rather than compete with or overpower the fish. Avoid sardines with stuff like Maltodextrin, Acetic Acid, Modified Cornstarch, Xanthan Gum, Polysorbate 80, Artificial Color, and Artificial Flavor."

"text": "\"By Carl Strohmeyer Updated 7/21/16WHAT IS SPIRULINA ALGAE (Spirulina Arthrospira)? Spirulina Arthrospira is a planktonic blue-green algae (Cyanobacteria) found in warm water alkaline volcanic lakes and is rich in raw protein and seven major vitamins: A1, B1, B2, B6, B12 (one of the best natural sources for B12, although the bioavailability its B12 is in dispute by many researchers), C and E. It naturally contains beta-carotene, color enhancing pigments, and whole range of minerals. In addition, Spirulina has a 62% amino acid content and contains all essential fatty acids and eight amino acids required for complete nutrition. Evidence as recent as 2007 shows even more proof as to the profound anti-oxidant properties of Spirulina. The primary species of Spirulina are Arthrospira platensis and Arthrospira maxima. Another species is Spirulina fusiformis; it is a freshwater algae as opposed to Marine/Saltwater species of the commonly harvested/aquacultured species noted earlier. It used to be classified as Spirulina platensis. Arthrospira fusiformis is capable of a great deal of polymorphism, it changes its shape, color and other charastistics in adapting to its environment. This freshwater species thrives in waters that are loaded with various minerals such as sodium, magnesium, carbonates, sulfates and chlorides. It does not usually thrive in water which is suitable for watering crops, drinking or raising fish."

I then changed the lighting fixture last year and had an algae bloom from hell (nearly 9 months). During this time, I did perform weekly 30-50% water changes with gravel vacuuming - a couple times up to 75%. Mind you, I did not have a test kit at this time. I cleared the bloom just recently utilizing a UV sterilizer, and noticed that he wasn't eating. Prior, if his appetite was decreasing, which may have gone unnoticed, I didn't clear the uneaten food and this probably contributed to the bloom along with my stupidly rinsing filter media in tap water. I now have a test kit, and have determined I must do a minimal 30-50% water change with vacuuming twice a week to keep nitrates from going over 20, <?"

[ 1] In tropical South America, where the species naturally resides, A. ocellatus specimens are often found for sale as a food fish in the local markets. [ 2] [3] The fish has been introduced to other areas, including China, Australia, and the United States. It is considered a popular aquarium fish in Europe and the U. S. [4] [5] [6]Contents [ hide ]1 Taxonomy2 Description3 Distribution and habitat4 Reproduction5 In the aquarium5.1 Food5.2 Territorial behavior5.3 Varieties6 References Taxonomy [ edit]The species was originally described by Louis Agassiz in 1831 as Lobotes ocellatus, as he mistakenly believed the species was marine; later work assigned the species to the genus Astronotus. [ 7] The species also has a number of junior synonyms: Acara compressus, Acara hyposticta, Astronotus ocellatus zebra, and Astronotus orbiculatus. [ 8]Description [ edit]Ocelli on dorsal fin and caudal peduncle A. ocellatus examples have been reported to grow to about 45 cm (18 in) in length and 1.6 kilograms (3.5 lb) in weight. [ 1] The wild-caught forms of the species are typically darkly coloured with yellow-ringed spots or ocelli on the caudal peduncle and on the dorsal fin. [ 5] These ocelli have been suggested to function to limit fin-nipping by piranha ( Serrasalmus spp. ), which co-occur with A. ocellatus in its natural environment. [ 7] [9] The species is also able to rapidly alter its colouration, a trait which facilitates ritualised territorial and combat behaviours amongst conspecifics. ["

"text": "\"Catching Peacock Bass 101Introduced to the southern Florida canal system in the 1980s by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission, Peacock Bass are a member of the Cichlidae family. Cichlids are known as the freshwater aquarium fish you buy in pet stores. Often these pet-store fish have been illegally dropped into the canals of Southeastern Florida by people moving away, who no longer want them or flushed down the toilet and into the ecosystem. Along with Oscars and a host of other imported pets dropped into the water behind the house, they eventually became a problem. The biggest of the species – the genus Cichcla – was imported by Florida Fish and Wildlife (My FWC.com). These included the Butterfly Peacock Bass and the Speckled Peacock Bass, the male of which can be identified by a lump or extrusion on the top of their heads. Why were they released? Initially, it was to eat their smaller, illegally dumped cousins, along with whatever else passed by their ravenous jaws. However, the more important reason, at least to anglers, is they were put there for you and me to catch. Their aggressive behavior, obvious love for the environment, and willingness to eat just about anything you throw at them (more on that later) made them an ideal target species for recreational anglers like the people who read this site."

Oscar’s thrive in the flooded river plains off of the Amazon. They can also be found in lakes and ponds throughout this region. Today, in the United States, Oscars are being caught in lakes, streams, canals, and ponds in Florida and several other Southeastern States. This is due to tropical fish keepers releasing their wet pet into the wild when they outgrow their aquarium tank. In Florida, it is against the law to introduce this non-native species into the wild.

Uses What to expect Benefits Risks Osteopathy is a drug-free, non-invasive manual therapy that aims to improve health across all body systems by manipulating and strengthening the musculoskeletal framework. An osteopathic physician will focus on the joints, muscles, and spine. Treatment aims to positively affect the body's nervous, circulatory, and lymphatic systems. Manual medicine means that both diagnosis and treatment are carried out with the hands. Osteopathy is a complementary therapy. It is used alongside conventional treatment to improve health. However, osteopathic physicians are also qualified as medical doctors (MDs), and they have more training than other complementary therapists, such as naturopaths. They specialize in osteopathy.

"text": "\"Health Other - Health What does DO stand for behind a doctor's name? Follow 24 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Doctor of Osteopathy...\"\"A doctor of osteopathic medicine (D. O.) is a physician licensed to perform surgery and prescribe medication. Like an M. D., an osteopath completes 4 years of medical school and can choose to practice in any specialty of medicine. However, osteopaths receive an additional 300 to 500 hours in the study of hands-on manual medicine and the body's musculoskeletal system. Osteopathic medicine is dedicated to treating and healing the entire patient as a whole, rather than focusing on one system or body part. An osteopath will often use a treatment method called manipulation -- a hands-on approach to assure that the body is moving freely. This free motion ensures that all of your body's natural healing systems are free to work unhindered. Osteopaths hold to the principle that a patient's history of illness and physical trauma are written into the body's structure. The osteopath's highly developed sense of touch allows the physician to palpate (feel) the patient's \"\"living anatomy\"\" (the flow of fluids, motion and texture of tissues, and structural make-up). The osteopath's job is to \"\"set\"\" the body to heal itself."

"text": "DO vs MD: What factors to consider DO vs MD; not like choosing your favorite condiment!DO vs MDThe DO vs MD question always elicits some of the most heated debates on Premedfaq.com and SDN. While we all know there are plenty of subjective differences between DO and MD degrees/physicians, I’ll try to keep this objective. There are subtle and not-so-subtle differences in the admissions practices and educational paths of DO vs MD schools, as well as the percentages of MD vs DO physicians in different specialties. Let’ s dive in!Why would I consider the DO route? You’re into alternative medicine, public health, or preventative care. Osteopathic medical training is becoming increasingly popular as U. S. lawmakers are concerned about the high cost of care and as such, more interested in preventative care and alternative methods of reducing such costs. In fact, research centers are popping up at some of the most prestigious schools ( Harvard , UConn, Princeton) thanks to serious funding from the NIH to study and apply alternative medical treatments. So, any of that sounds compelling, you might want to explore the DO route, since your training will likely introduce you to a range of alternative therapies and theories MDs don’t focus on much during med school. That’s not to say you can’t get into preventative, alternative or manipulative care if you go the MD route. MD grads are free to explore fellowships and masters degrees in these fields after—or even before, in the case of MD/MPH joint degree programs—they graduate."

O., Discusses The Benefits I discovered osteopathy when my husband started his medical training at an osteopathic medical school in the United States. At that time, he explained to me the differences between allopathic medical doctors and osteopathic medical doctors, but it wasn’t until I experienced care under an osteopathic physician that I truly understood the benefits of osteopathic medicine. Osteopathic medicine began at the end of the 1800s with Dr. Andrew Taylor Still as a rejection of the standard care at the time. He noticed that patients were often not getting better and in some cases were even being harmed with the traditional allopathic medical practices being used during that period. Dr. Still believed that the body had an innate ability to heal on its own and he called the system he developed osteopathy. He incorporated the use of manual manipulation of bones and joints as one of his methods for treating patients. By the middle of the 20th century, osteopathic medicine was more widely recognized in the mainstream and doctors gradually gained full practicing rights in all 50 states. The training is very similar to allopathic doctors – 4 years of medical school and a residency afterwards."

Myopractics restores the body's normal movement and flexibility, and eliminates tension and pain. You will wear clothes for this treatment. A basic principle of Myopractics is that life is motion. The body is a fluid and dynamic system that is in constant motion. Anything that obstructs this life movement and restricts body tissue will manifest as aches and pains, tension and stress, or limited mobility. When there is a lack of motion in the body, this is referred to as a \"\"restriction\"\". A restriction causes an imbalance in the body that typically results in increased muscle tension in the area of the restriction and in adjacent areas. The body will typically produce this muscle tension in an attempt to counteract the restriction and re-establish structural harmony. For example, many back problems are directly related to some structural imbalance from restrictions in the pelvic region."

Dr. Still based this new science upon an absolute faith in a human beings innate capacity for self healing and a belief that if the Osteopath could remove the obstructions in the system, nature would provide the healing. It was his view that what we call disease is really just an effect of an abnormality or imbalance within a person’s body. “ Disease in an abnormal body is just as natural as is Health when all the parts are in place” Osteopathic Profession: Osteopathic training, therefore, includes, not only the study of all branches of medicine and surgery, but also up to 500 hours of additional training in manual diagnosis and treatment. Today, there are more than 50,000 osteopathic physicians in the United States whose practices cover the entire range of specialties, such as emergency medicine, neurosurgery, cardiology, and psychiatry. More than 65% of DO’s choose primary care specialties, such as family practice, internal medicine, obstetrics, and pediatrics, as opposed to only 25% of MD’s. Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine: A DO can also specialize in Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) for which Board Certification became available in 1990. Certification for Osteopathy in the Cranial Field is provided by The Cranial Academy, which is currently held by approximately 150 physicians nationwide.

It is the most widely recognized nutrition certification by federal and state governments. It is the only non-dietetics credential and examination widely named in state nutrition licensure laws. It is l isted by the US Government's Department of Labor as an advanced nutrition credential in the definition of the \"\"Dietetics and Nutritionists\"\" profession in its Occupational Outlook Handbook. It is listed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid as among those potentially eligible to order therapeutic diets in hospitals. Certified Clinical Nutritionist (CCN): a CCN is a highly qualified nutritional professional with a 4-year bachelor's degree and a 900-hour internship, a 56-hour post-graduate intensive study in clinical nutrition or a master's degree in human nutrition from the University of Bridgeport or Bastyr University and must pass the national board exam issued by the CNCB [7]. The CCN focuses on how foods are digested, absorbed, and assimilated, and ultimately how food affects the body biochemically. Among the many aspects of nutrition research considered within this context are by-products of digestion, gastrointestinal health, neurotransmitter response, immune function, metabolic shifts and balance, allergic or sensitivity reactions, and systems and pathways of detoxification. The CCN's approach to diet structure is developed according to what is best for the individual-not necessarily what is a standard recommendation for the general public at large, or for all people experiencing a particular health concern. Rather than strictly advocating a pyramid or food-group-style diet, the CCN will determine the healthiest and most effective program for the individual according to the latest nutrition research and the unique biochemical make-up of the individual [8]. Registered Dietitian (RD): an RD is a food and dietary professional, usually with a 4-year bachelor's degree and 900-1200 hours in a dietetic internship through an accredited program and passing a dietetics registration exam. Dietitians focus on calories (energy), quality of food in regard to freshness, sanitation and freedom from spoilage and contamination, meal planning, evaluation of standard measurements of foods, specific diets for certain conditions, and eating patterns based primarily on food groups, such as the food pyramid, and other guidelines based on daily food intake strictly outlined by health organizations [10]. Dietitians often work in health institutions as clinical dietitians, management dietitians, but can also work as community or consultant dietitians."

"text": "Chiropractors and osteopaths are both medical professionals who treat patients with a focus on the musculoskeletal system, including the spine, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. The two professions are actually radically different, requiring different levels of certification and ultimately offering different services. There has also been some historical hostility between the two fields, which can make sorting out the differences rather challenging. Essentially, both offer valuable and useful services, and each can be included in a holistic healthcare regimen. A chiropractor is a medical professional trained in chiropractic medicine, typically in a three to four year program. The student learns about anatomy, physiology, and biology, and focuses on the skeletal system. Chiropractic doctors believe that many health problems are related to imbalances in the musculoskeletal system, and they learn to perform small adjustments to this system while in school. Contrary to popular belief, these adjustments are not limited to the back. Chiropractics is a specialty, as opposed to osteopathy, which is more like a medical philosophy. Ad An osteopath, on the other hand, is much more like a physician, especially in the United States."

"text": "SPECIAL COMMUNICATIONManual Techniques Addressing the Lymphatic System: Origins and Development Bruno J. Chikly, MD, DO (France)Numerous articles have been published describing the scientific discovery of the lymphatic system, but few of these articles have focused on the origin and development of manual techniques addressing this complex system of vessels, valves, nodes, and organs.1 These manual techniques—like knowledge about the lymphatic system itself— evolved late in the history of medicine. Early civilizations did not make a clear distinction between lymph and blood. Nevertheless, some of these civilizations, notably those in Sumer and Babylonia (both in modern-day Iraq), Egypt, India, and China, had elementary notions of a “white blood. ”2 This substance may have been chyle, the postprandial whitish lymph that carries lipids of the alimentary tract.2 The ancient Greeks also observed some elements of the lymphatic system, most likely the lacteals, the milky lymph vessels that carry chyle.3 In addition, they probably observed the thoracic duct in animals.3 However, like other early civilizations, the Greeks failed to clearly differentiate lymph from blood. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that manual lymphatic techniques would have arisen in these civilizations. It was not until the 1600s that investigators clearly identified the lymphatic system. The Italian surgeon and anatomist Gasparo Aselli published the first scientific description of the lacteal vessels in dogs in 1622.4 The Swedish anatomist Olof Rudbeck demonstrated the passage of the lymphatic vessels of the mesentery into the ductus thoracicus in the 1650s, proving that lymphatic circulation is an integrated system that is separate from blood circulation.5 As knowledge of the lymphatic system began to grow, so did interest in combining therapeutic techniques with body movement—though, for many years, researchers made no connection between body movement and the lymphatic system. At the beginning of the 19th century, German physical From the Medical Faculty of Paris, Dr Chikly is an associate member of the American Academy of Osteopathy, a member of the International Society of Lymphology, and director of the Osteopathic Lymph Treatment seminars of International Health and Healing Inc. He graduated from the European School of Osteopathy in Maidstone, England. Address correspondence to Bruno J. Chikly, MD, 28607 N 152nd St, Scottsdale, AZ 85262–6939.

"text": "Osteopathic Medicine Approach to Pain Management With a holistic approach to patient care—encompassing the integration of structure and function, emotional and social aspects of health and healing, and a more heuristic biopsychosocial approach to pain assessment and management—osteopathic physicians are uniquely positioned to manage patients with chronic pain. Page 1 of 6Editor’s note: Throughout the country, chronic pain patients are being treated by many disciplines. For example, in rural and urban settings the patient may simultaneously be treated by not only a medical physician but also a physical therapist, nurse practitioner, and psychologist. Some settings are fortunate enough to have many disciplines under one roof. Regardless of whether the patient is treated at a single or multiple sites, it is important to know the strengths and capabilities of each profession and discipline. The osteopathic physician has the unique capability to medically prescribe plus provide traditional manipulative therapy. Pain—specifically chronic pain— often requires a diverse interdisciplinary approach for its effective management. 1 The interdisciplinary treatment team should include an osteopathic physician (capable of providing unique musculoskeletal diagnostic examinations and manual therapies), physical therapists, occupational therapists, and psychiatric health care professionals. Unfortunately, osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) and its role in the treatment of pain is widely misunderstood and underutilized. The major purpose of this article is to discuss the philosophy of osteopathic medicine (of which OMM is but one component) to provide a better understanding of its role in the treatment of pain."

O., is a board-certified physician who is fully licensed to practice in every state and in more than 65 countries worldwide. As licensed physicians, they diagnose, treat, prescribe medications and perform surgery. D. O.s are trained to focus on the whole person, working in partnership with patients to help them achieve a high level of wellness by focusing on health promotion and disease prevention. They practice the full scope of medicine in all medical specialties, from pediatrics to geriatrics, sports medicine to trauma surgery. They may decide to work in a hospital as a surgeon, in the emergency department or in another unit, caring for patients with injuries or life-threatening illnesses like heart failure or serious conditions like diabetes. In laboratories across the country, physician researchers look for the cause of illnesses and for new and better ways to treat all kinds of diseases and injuries. They run medical centers and teach future generations of physicians and other healthcare practitioners. Many D. O.s decide on a solo or group practice in which they: Examine patients and take medical histories Order, perform and interpret diagnostic tests Prescribe and administer treatment for patients suffering from injury or disease Counsel patients about their health, providing advice about staying in good health, alleviating symptoms of chronic conditions, improving eating habits, and learning to break bad habits like smoking The majority of D. O.s practice general or family medicine, general internal medicine or general pediatrics with a special focus on providing care in rural and urban underserved areas. In addition to using all of the tools and technology available to modern medicine, D. O.s have a strongly holistic philosophy and practice osteopathic manipulative medicine – a distinctive system of hands-on diagnosis and treatment that focuses specifically on the musculoskeletal system. Approximately 74,000 licensed osteopathic physicians are in active practice in the United States, and more than 20% of all U. S. medical students are studying at a college of osteopathic medicine."

Osteopathy is based on the principle that the wellbeing of an individual depends on their bones, muscles, ligaments and connective tissue functioning smoothly together. Osteopaths use physical manipulation, stretching and massage with the aim of:increasing the mobility of jointsrelieving muscle tensionenhancing the blood supply to tissueshelping the body to heal They use a range of techniques but not drugs or surgery. In the UK, osteopathy is a complementary or alternative medicine (CAM) and is different from conventional western medicine.

"text": "An overactive immune system, or autoimmune disorder, is when the immune system attacks and destroys healthy body tissue rather than the antigens it is supposed to target. Tissue damage, organ damage and changes in organ function are some of the results of autoimmune diseases. There are more than 60 conditions that are the result of an overactive immune system, such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis. Treatment depends on the condition, many of which are chronic. The immune system is normally a very efficient defense against harmful substances, or antigens, like bacteria, viruses and bacteria. Exactly why it sometimes goes into overdrive and starts attacking healthy tissue is unknown, but the condition is thought to involve microorganisms such as bacteria, stress, diet, hormonal influences and drugs, especially when one or more of these factors are combined with a genetic predisposition. The onset of an overactive immune system is frequently preceded by a bacterial or viral infection, but this does not mean that everyone who gets an infection will develop the condition. For this reason, there must be other factors or pre-conditions. Sometimes an antigen will have certain similarities to healthy tissue and the immune system confuses the two, or there may be a malfunction in the action of the white blood cells that produces antibodies. Ad The immune response results in a hypersensitivity reaction much like that which occurs in an allergy."

A goiter is an abnormal enlargement of the thyroid gland and can occur for a number of different reasons. The thyroid is a small, butterfly- shaped gland inside the neck, just below your Adam’s apple. The thyroid gland produces hormones which control the body’s metabolism and regulate the rate at which the body carries out its functions. The presence of an enlarged goiter usually means that the thyroid gland is not functioning normally. Causes of a goiter include an imbalance in the thyroid gland and Goiter symptoms generally occur in a gland that is overactive, producing too much hormone (hyperthyroidism), or that is underactive, producing too little hormone (hypothyroidism). Goiter puts pressure on other parts of the neck such as the trachea and esophagus - making it difficult to breathe and swallow. Often, goiters are also removed for cosmetic reasons."

Our immune system is a crucial part of the body as it is responsible for defending our bodies from attacks of various deleterious viruses, bacteria, and other microorganisms.

Researchers at the National Institute of Aging (NIA) have honed in on five of 89 independent variations in human genetics that are believed to be responsible for autoimmune conditions, from celiac disease to multiple sclerosis, in which the body’s defense system mistakenly attacks itself.7 Multiple Sclerosis Facts You Should Know Gene Variations and Risk Factors for Disease A new study, part of the Sardi NIA Study of Aging, shows these gene variants are associated with how the body produces immune system cells, in addition to contributing to autoimmune disorders. The study will be published in the forthcoming issue of the journal Cell . The researchers discovered that variations in these particular genes have “very significant effects” on the number of specific immune system cells the body produces. “We know that certain diseases run in families. From this study, we wanted to know the extent to which relative immune resistance or susceptibility to disease is inherited in families,” David Schlessinger, chief of NIA’s Laboratory of Genetics, said in a statement accompanying the study. “ If your mother is rarely sick, for example, does that mean you don’t have to worry about the bug that’s going around? Is immunity in the genes? According to our findings, the answer is yes, at least in part. ”Your genes, the researchers say, affect the number of cells in your adaptive immune system, the kind that learns to respond to pathogens by producing, storing, and transporting specific defensive cells and molecules."

"text": "Neuroscience Does the Immune System Have a Role in Battling Autism? New study finds mice may need infection-fighting molecules to socialize By Jessica Wright, Spectrum on July 14, 2016The researchers found that without interferon gamma, signals in a brain region called the prefrontal cortex (pictured) run rampant, and mice tend to be asocial. Credit: Body Parts3D DBCLS Wikimedia CC BY-SA 2.1 JPMolecules that protect the body from infection may be needed for mice to socialize with their peers, according to a study published today in Nature. This double duty could help safeguard the health of animals that live in close quarters. The findings bolster an emerging link between the immune system and conditions such as autism, says lead researcher Jonathan Kipnis, professor of neuroscience at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. “ Whether we like it or not, there is a piling up of evidence that the immune system has a major impact on brain function: The brain is not isolated from the rest of the body,” he says. The study pinpoints an immune molecule called interferon gamma as the key to this link. This molecule primes cells to attack intruders, and is ramped up during infections. The researchers found that without interferon gamma, signals in a brain region called the prefrontal cortex run rampant, and mice tend to be asocial. The prefrontal cortex is involved in social behavior, and is thought to be overactive in some people with autism. “"

"text": "\"David Doehm, Opinionated Car Guy Answered Apr 24, 2015 · Author has 357 answers and 665.4k answer views I'll assume we are talking about an automatic transmission- So when you put it in \"\"drive,\"\" or the highest numbered gear below \"\"overdrive\"\" you keep the transmission from shifting to any higher gear. So you're preventing it from engaging the overdrive. Most of the time there's really no good reason to limit the transmission to a lower gear. The more you use the highest gear (or overdrive), the better the gas mileage. The higher the gear, the fewer times the engine turns for the same amount of distance traveled, so less wear on the engine. So, basically, you want to select overdrive most of the time. An automatic transmission is designed to figure out which gear it should be in. Let it do its job. There are times to eliminate overdrive- going down a steep grade etc. Put it in overdrive the moment you leave your driveway, and then forget all about it.21.4k Views · View Upvoters Your response is private."

To replace the ring you have to remove the pan, disconnect the internal harness and remove the filter. Now you can remove the valve body. It has a bunch of 8 mm bolts. Once all that is loose the valve body will come down. Now look up and you will see some round circles on the passenger side of the transmission. These are the servos."

In a car with an automatic transmission, you can drive in OD all the time. You should be driving in OD anytime you are traveling over 40-45 MPH. ( This is the speed at which your car will automatically) shift into OD if you have it placed in that gear to start with. OD saves strain on the transmission and I would speculate the drive train, also. Your car will coast more easily in OD and use less fuel.

Mustangman 2015-02-08 00:39:34 UTC #2The tires wouldn’t necessarily rub. Most cars are designed to accept snow chains so they have lots of extra room for bigger tires. Many models offer bigger and wider tires on the same model as an option. If lower profile but wider tires were chosen the diameter would be the same as the 13 inch tires.

Many do for the fuel economy advantage, some do for the \"\"hard work\"\" reputation of diesels, and some drive a diesel just because they like diesel engines. The economics of buying and owning a diesel powered vehicle have been widely discussed, but much of that discussion leaves out some vital information. I've been driving diesel light-trucks and SUV's since 1986. If you're interested in buying a new or used diesel vehicle, please read on to learn what we here at The Diesel Page know about diesel fuel economy and the cost of ownership. First, don't make the classic mistake of comparing the economics of gas versus diesel by looking only at the cost differences between the engine options and fuel economy. While the higher initial cost of the diesel engine option keeps some people from buying a diesel powered vehicle, much of the diesel engine option cost will be returned to you when you sell or trade the vehicle a few years on down the road. The diesel engine option will add value to your trade-in. You can compare used gas/diesel vehicle pricing for otherwise identically equipped trucks by visiting the Kelly Blue Book web site. When combining the added trade-in value and the fuel economy advantage, a diesel equipped pickup truck begins to make good economic sense."

[ edit]3-speed manual overdrive units [ edit]How overdrive works The governor powers the solenoid in the mid 20's MPH, you have to let up on the gas pedal to let it shift up. When you push the pedal to the floor the kickdown switch cuts off the power to the solenoid and temporarily cuts off power to the ignition coil so the engine stops running for a second or two. This lets the spring on the solenoid retract and shifts out of overdrive. When you drive less than the governor speed setting in overdrive it cuts off power to the solenoid. If you are going up a hill and the car does not coast the solenoid will not retract and you will still be locked in overdrive. When you are in overdrive you can not go backwards."

"text": "Clutches and Bands in an Automatic Transmission Prev NEXTIn the last section, we discussed how each of the gear ratios is created by the transmission. For instance, when we discussed overdrive, we said: In this transmission, when overdrive is engaged, a shaft that is attached to the housing of the torque converter (which is bolted to the flywheel of the engine) is connected by clutch to the planet carrier. The small sun gear freewheels, and the larger sun gear is held by the overdrive band. Nothing is connected to the turbine; the only input comes from the converter housing. To get the transmission into overdrive, lots of things have to be connected and disconnected by clutches and bands. The planet carrier gets connected to the torque converter housing by a clutch. The small sun gets disconnected from the turbine by a clutch so that it can freewheel. The big sun gear is held to the housing by a band so that it could not rotate. Each gear shift triggers a series of events like these, with different clutches and bands engaging and disengaging. Let's take a look at a band."

If you have even a passing interest in the act of driving, then chances are you also appreciate a fine-shifting manual gearbox. But how does a manual trans actually work? With our primer on automatics (or slushboxes, as detractors call them) available for your perusal, we thought it would be a good idea to provide a companion overview on manual trannies, too. A brief history lesson shows that manual transmissions preceded automatics by several decades. In fact, up until General Motors offered an automatic in 1938, all cars were of the shift-it-yourself variety. While it's logical for many types of today's vehicles to be equipped with an automatic -- such as a full-size sedan, SUV or pickup -- the fact remains that nothing is more of a thrill to drive than a tautly suspended sport sedan, sport coupe or two-seater equipped with a precise-shifting five- or six-speed gearbox. It's what makes cars such as a Corvette, Mustang, Miata or any BMW sedan or coupe some of the most fun-to-drive cars available today. We know which types of cars have manual trannies. Now let's take a look at how they work."

Maintaining a healthy lawn can be a lot of work. Unfortunately, sometimes you will encounter problems with your lawn that can't be fixed by watering, fertilizing and a regular mowing schedule. If your lawn is thinning or developing bare spots, sowing new seed is likely required. While you can always remove the existing grass before sowing new seed, it is also possible to plant your new grass seed over your current lawn. Overseeding Sowing new grass seed over your existing lawn is known as overseeding. While it is often done to fill thinning or bare spots, you can also overseed your lawn to prevent browning during the winter by overseeding a warm-season lawn with a cool-season grass. While it's possible to simply sow the new grass seed over your existing lawn, taking the time to prepare your lawn beforehand will increase the likelihood of seed germination and improve your end result. Preparing the Lawn There are three things that you should do before sowing your grass seed to get the most out of overseeding. Dethatching your lawn with a mechanical dethatcher or metal rake removes thatch, a layer of organic material that lies above the soil and can prevent your seeds from taking root properly."

On a smooth, dry, well-maintained pitch, soccer has a graceful quality - even in the middle of a hard-fought game. But when the field goes bad, the whole game goes bad. Bad ball response disrupts players' efforts to execute passes, the game slows to a crawl as mis-kicked balls constantly fly over the touch lines, and the score may depend on who can stay upright most successfully. Good turf doesn't just happen. It takes careful planning and hard work. Here are some ideas for making soccer field maintenance and management easier. First of all, it's important to remember that a really effective field management program takes careful, regular inspection of the fields.

"text": "Written by Jenny Green; Updated March 26, 2018Turfgrass thins when the lawn is too shady, the soil is compacted, or the grass is diseased or infested by pests. Or the lawn may simply be too dry or low in fertility, or it may have been mowed badly. Whatever the cause of a thin lawn, the steps to thicker grass involve fixing the initial problem and then overseeding with grass types that are suitable for the climate and growing conditions. Thicken Grass in a Shady Lawn Only shade-tolerant grasses, such as red fescue ( Festuca rubra, USDA zones 3 through 7) and St. Augustinegrass ( Stenotaphrum secundatum, USDA zones 8 through 10), grow thick and full in a lawn that's in shade for a significant portion of the day. If a tree or shrub canopy has grown over the lawn, prune the branches so that more sunlight reaches the grass. Wipe your pruning shears or saw with rubbing alcohol before and after pruning to avoid spreading pests and diseases. Renovating a Compacted, Thin Lawn When grass roots struggle to penetrate compacted soil, the grass grows poorly. Look for shallow, thin grass roots and soil that feels hard. To open up the soil, allowing in air and water and providing better growing conditions for grass, run an aerifier over the lawn, which removes plugs of soil. Go over the lawn three to five times with the aerifier, let the aerifier cores dry somewhat and then break up the cores with a rake before overseeding with grass seed."

Sometimes lawns are overseeded with a different type of seed that is more tolerant of cold weather so the lawn maintains its color all year. Before overseeding your lawn, you will need to calculate how much grass seed you should purchase. Things You'll Need Measuring tape Calculator Step 1Calculate the square footage of your yard. You will need the square footage to determine how much grass seed to buy. To calculate square footage, measure your yard with measuring tape then multiply the length of your yard times the width of your yard.

They are based on formal experiments and observations that I and students working with me have conducted on clover in Nova Scotian pastures, [L25,V43] and Halifax turfs [L6, L7, L25], as well as on 'my \"\"backyard experience\"\". I have also collaborated with a local landscaping company in their development of an \"\" organic approach \"\", which for about 15 years now has included use of white clover. As noted elsewhere, the traditional turf industry and the various institutes and academic units conducting scientific studies related to turf regard white clover as a weed and are more concerned with getting rid of clover than with establishing it. While attitudes are changing, there is still a general sparcity of scientific information related to establishing and maintaining clover in lawns. On the other hand, there is a voluminous literature on the biology and ecology of white clover in pastures; the earlier literature is well summarized in a 1983 paper by R. Turkington and J. J. Burdon. [ V54] Of course you can't use herbicides if you want clover in the lawn and some other practices of conventional lawncare, e.g., heavy use of nitrogen fertilizer, are also incompatible with maintaining clover. So there is more - at least conceptually - to establishing and maintaining clover in a lawn than just seeding it. Fortunately, in practice it involves doing less, even far less than than is involved in conventional lawncare. That may seem counter-intuitive, but think about this: some of greenest, neatest lawns one can see are those around farm houses where the only management is mowing; farmers don't waste their valuable chemicals if they can help it and most scoff at the idea of applying them to lawns! -"

Perennial ryegrass is not recommended as a permanent turf in warm climates because of its susceptibility to disease in hot weather. The recommended seeding rates vary but fall in a general range. Warm-Season, Cool-Season Differences Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon), St. Augustine grass (Stenotaphrum secundatum) and zoysiagrass (zoysia spp.) are warm-season grasses best adapted to temperatures between 80 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit in a geographical area that roughly corresponds to U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 9 to 11. These grasses are green during the summer but turn brown during the winter. Cool-season grasses such as perennial ryegrass are green during the winter and turn brown during the summer. They grow best at temperatures between 65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit in a geographical area corresponding to USDA zones 5 to 8. Buying Seed Perennial ryegrass has a fine texture and will give your warm-season lawn a rich green in winter, but pay attention when you buy the seed.

"text": "\"The \"\"hole\"\" truth about aerating your lawn Aerating your lawn is a great way to reduce thatch, loosen up compacted soils and make it easier for water and nutrients to reach the roots of your turf. Even with the best care available, lawns can thin out and lose color due to excessive thatch buildup, too much foot traffic or pet traffic through specific areas that create hard or compacted soils, or periods of high temperature, high humidity, or drought. Aerifying and overseeding is recognized by turf experts such as golf course superintendents as the best treatment to control thatch, helps reduce those compacted areas, fills in bare spots and revitalize growth. Aeration/Seeding— the two step process guaranteed to improve your lawn An aeration treatment removes small cores of soil and thatch to allow air, moisture and nutrients to penetrate down to the root zone. The cores brought to the surface contain microorganisms, which help the breakdown of the woody thatch tissue layer just below the lawn's crown. As the thatch layer is broken down, it is converted into organic matter that will then combine with existing soil particles. Also, as the cores begin to breakdown over a period of several weeks, the holes gradually fill in with a mixture of organic matter and soil, and the filled hole allows roots of existing grass plants to spread out and grow deeper, creating a healthier, thicker lawn. Ideal time for Aeration Because the aeration process is stressful on lawns, it should only be done during periods just before active growth is expected. For cool season grasses, those typically found in the northern half of the country, this would be in early spring or early fall, the 2 times of the year when cool season grasses really grow. During the hot summer months, cool season grasses really slow down in the growing department and this is not a good time to be aerating."

Grass Seed blends enable the grass planted to handle a wider range of tolerances to conditions such as shade, drought, heat, insects and disease. By using a blend of at least 3 bluegrass varieties, you can usually avoid problems in your Bluegrass lawn that could result in the death of a single variety of grass. Bluegrass takes time to germinate ( up to 2 to 5 weeks) and grow into a lawn. Perennial Ryegrass is often added as an important component of establishing a Bluegrass lawn.

This also means less work for you!Fescue grass requires maintenance according to the species variety that is used and the conditions under which the grass is grown. Visit Seedland.com for the newest fescue varieties and specific details on their maintenance. The following information is generalized, please follow the growing instructions for your particular fescue grass cultivar and the area where you live. Watering Fescue Grass Watering or irrigating fescue grass should be done infrequently in the cooler areas of adaptation. These locales usually have more air moisture and damper nights than the warmer climates and fescues are a more drought tolerant cool season grass. Fescue grass is drought tolerant which means that in extreme cases of water deprivation the grass can go into dormancy and return when sufficient watering is available. This does not mean that the grass can exist without water."

"text": "\"- Buffalo Grass - North America's Native Grass Buffalo grass still grows wild on the western prairies of the U. S. and has become a true rags to riches lawn grass variety. Originating in the United States on the prairies of the Western Plains, it was given the name “Buffalo Grass” because it grew under the feet of millions of American bison, often referred to as buffalo. The thickly matted grass was cut and used as sod for home constructions by early prairie settlers. Since those days, this grass has been fine-tuned with new varieties that make beautiful lawn grasses. Regardless of the variety, buffalo grass will maintain much of its original qualities that allowed it to survive on the prairies. A warm season perennial grass, it is best known as a drought and heat resistance grass. People love it because of its low water usage and low growth habit. Some newer varieties won't grow taller than 6 to 8 inches. Older varieties, like those in the photo, will have the characteristic seed heads buffalo grass is known for. This is a drawback for some, but the newer turf varieties have less visible seeds and make a more attractive grass."

To obtain optimum performance from your lawn it is important to employ the appropriate management practices at the correct times of year. This publication serves as a calendar guide for turf management practices. It also suggests when to look for pests that can damage turf. Be aware that this guide is based on environmental conditions that occur in a typical growing season. During years in which severe drought, heat, or cold occur for extended periods or at unusual times during the season, some management practices should be delayed until more favorable conditions return. Seeding Late summer to early fall usually is the best time to establish a new lawn from seed. New seedlings are normally more successful at this time of year than in the spring because of reduced weed competition, and the new grass will have two cool growing seasons (fall and spring) before it encounters its first period of heat stress. Also, soils may be too wet for good seedbed preparation in the spring. Seeding later than mid-October is not suggested for most areas of Pennsylvania."

How to Thicken Up Your Lawn Core Aeration vs. Spike Aeration Overseeding your lawn helps you thicken thin areas, fill bare patches or add an entirely new type of grass -- covering your summer lawn with a cool-season grass to keep it green all year, for example. For the best results when overseeding, use the right equipment to create the best seed-to-soil contact. Overseeders and aerators work, but the overseeders have a slight edge. What's Best for Seeding Overseeders also are called slit seeders. These cut through the thatch layer in straight lines, exposing the dirt below the thatch. After making two cross-hatch-style passes where you cut the thatch at a 45-degree angle one way and then a 45-degree angle the other way to create a diamond pattern, the same machine can lay the seed for you. Some drop seed during the second pass across your yard, helping it fall in the freshly created grooves. An aerator, on the other hand, pulls finger-sized plugs of dirt out of the lawn to improve drainage and encourage root development. Use a broadcast spreader to spread the seed over your aerated lawn, then water the area to help the seed fall down into the holes for the best soil-to-seed contact."

Owls are very distinct in their appearance with a big round head and large eyes. They have a hawk like beak and soft plumage. Interestingly the female owls are almost always bigger than the males, sometimes up to 25% bigger. At 12cm the Least Pygmy Owl is the world’s smallest while the largest owl, up to 71cm, is the Eurasian Eagle Owl. What do owls eat and how do they digest What do owls eat? Since owls are birds of prey they need to hunt and kill other animals to survive. Their diet mainly includes fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds, small animals and insects. The type of food really depends on the species of owl. For example, the Asian Fish Owl and the African Fishing Owl are highly specialized at catch fish while the barn owl is specialized in catching mice."

The Minnesota DNR reports that the influx of owls started as early as October, caused by early ice storms and lack of sufficient prey to sustain their large population in their natural Northern Canadian habitat, this influx peaked in mid January. I became so intrigued by their peaceful presence, I found myself entranced by observing their beauty and marveling at their \"\"still hunting\"\" techniques. I spent almost every day from mid January through March outside in the snow-banks observing and photographing this \"\"once in a lifetime\"\" event, which peaked my interest in researching this species. The Great Gray Owl is also known as Sooty Owl, Great Gray Ghost, Cinerous Owl, Spectral Owl, Lapland Owl, Spruce Owl, Bearded Owl and Phantom of the North. The Native Americans called the Great Gray Owl \"\"Wa-Sha-Quon-Asin\"\", translated \"\"He Who Flies by Night\"\".

Like her colleagues here and at similar clinics around the country, Murray is a wildlife advocate as well as a scientist. Each image was, in her word and my perception, “sadder” than the last. There was the great horned owl with a hematoma running the length of its left wing; the red-tailed hawk’s body cavity glistening with unclotted blood; sundry raptors with pools of blood under dissected skin; the redtail with a hematoma that had ballooned its left eye to 10 times normal size; and, “saddest of all,” the redtail with an egg. The well-developed blood vessels in her oviducts had ruptured, and she had slowly bled to death from the inside. All these birds were victims of “second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides” used by exterminators, farmers, and homeowners. They’re found in such brand names as d-Con, Hot Shot, Generation, Talon, and Havoc, and they sell briskly because of our consuming hatred of rats and mice."

"text": "\"Owls, thanks to their prowess as predators, are rarely prey for other animals; after all, most creatures can’t compete with an owl’s silent flight and powerful talons. Baby owls (called owlets) are vulnerable, since they lack the size and strength of their full-grown brethren. The adult owl, however, is not wholly immune from attack. While owls might not often be prey, they can be harmed by some animals, including other owls. Foxes and Prowling Cats Although owls watch over their young closely, they can’t always keep them from harm’s way, especially since they must leave their owlets to hunt. Foxes and prowling cats, such as bobcats, have been known to take advantage of an unguarded nest to consume owlets. These predators must be stealthy when approaching an owl’s nest; adult owls can easily harm or kill four-footed attackers and will not hesitate to do so when protecting their young. Birds of Prey Owls are formidable birds of prey, but that doesn’t mean other strong birds of prey always leave owls alone. Eagles and hawks have been observed attacking owls, but they usually aren’t looking for food. The birds may be involved, instead, in a territorial dispute."

Haussels, Chesterfield A • You might say that destiny began preparing Mary Hostetter early for her life’s work at The Blue Owl. When Hostetter grew up, her family nickname was “Mix Up Mary” because she loved to cook and bake and invite people over. As a single mom in the early 1980s, she baked at home and sold cookies and sweets at craft fairs and festivals. With more enthusiasm than experience, Hostetter took over a country tearoom and built it into today’s Blue Owl, which attracts everyone from St. Louisans who make the quick drive to Kimmswick for a late breakfast or lunch; to tour buses that unload visitors from across the country; to an excursion riverboat that drops off passengers at the nearby Mississippi River landing — and will celebrate its 30th anniversary this year. The Blue Owl is known for home-cooked comfort food such as soup, quiche, sandwiches and weekly specials like Wednesday’s fried chicken and Sunday’s chicken and dumplings. Experienced guests know to save room — or “Eat Dessert First,” the restaurant’s motto — because the bakery counter holds temptations like homemade pies, cheesecakes and layer cakes.

It was introduced into Britain at the end of the nineteenth century and into the South Island of New Zealand in the early twentieth century. This owl is a member of the typical or true owl family, Strigidae, which contains most species of owl, the other grouping being the barn owls, Tytonidae. It is a small, cryptically coloured, mainly nocturnal species and is found in a range of habitats including farmland, woodland fringes, steppes and semi-deserts. It feeds on insects, earthworms, other invertebrates and small vertebrates. Males hold territories which they defend against intruders. This owl is a cavity nester and a clutch of about four eggs is laid in spring. The female does the incubation and the male brings food to the nest, first for the female and later for the newly hatched young. As the chicks grow, both parents hunt and bring them food, and the chicks leave the nest at about seven weeks of age. Being a common species with a wide range and large total population, the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as \"\" least concern \"\"."

A: Quick Answer According to History On The Net, the Egyptians often wore jewelry to show social status and wealth, but they mainly wore jewelry for religious purposes.

"text": "Society & Culture Mythology & Folklore What do owls symbolize?what do they symbolize in native america as well as the bible/christianity?1 following 8 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: In Native American lore, owls symbolize knowledge and wisdom. It is said that owls are keepers of a sacred knowledge and secrets of the Divine. Owls are unclean beings not fit for eating, according to the bible, in the book of Leviticus to be exact. They should be detested and be banished from feasts and gatherings. However, symbolically, the night-owl may be a symbolism for Jesus. Christ loves the darkness of night because he does not want sinners - who are represented by darkness - to die but to be converted and live... The night-owl lives in the cracks in walls, as Christ wished to be born one of the Jewish people, saying: 'I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel'. But Christ is crushed in the cracks of the walls, because he is killed by the Jews. Christ shuns the light in the sense that he detests and hates vainglory... The night-owl flies at night in search of food, as Christ converts sinners into the body of the Church by preaching. In a moral sense, moreover, the night-owl signifies to us not just any righteous man, but rather one who lives among other men yet hides from their view as much as possible. He flees from the light, in the sense that he does not look for the glory of human praise."

Bridges often represent transitions in literature, because they are used as natural connectors, joining pieces of land together. The bridge in \"\"An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge\"\" is symbolic on multiple levels. On the surface level, the bridge represents a tangible connection between the north and the south in the Civil War. When Fahrquhar was visited by a scout, the man tells him \"\"the Yanks are repairing the railroads,\"\" said the man, \"\"and are getting ready for another advance.\"\" The Owl Creek Bridge is the intermediary between the two, and the north will use it to gain access to the south. The bridge represents the opportunity of advantage in battle for the two opposing sides. For Peyton Fahrquhar, the bridge also comes to symbolize the moment of transition between life and death. Held on a thin slab of wood over the rushing stream, Farhrquhar is to be hanged by the north for tampering with the bridge."

Moreman California State University, East Bay [email protected] Abstract Birds have an ambiguous symbolic significance across cultures throughout human his- tory, ubiquitously relating to both life and death. Birds are routinely seen as portents of impending calamity and death, while they are also often thought to bear or steal spirits of the dead, sometimes even embodying those very spirits themselves. On the other hand, birds are also commonly associated with life, fertility, and longevity. This paper brings together cross-cultural evidence for the practically universal associations between birds and both life and death. This paper offers an explanation for this associa- tion as an expression of the deep-seated human ambivalence to mortality. As a form of Jungian archetype, birds reflect a fundamental aspect of human nature—the denial of death as finality through a desire for renewal, transformation, and rebirth. Keywords birds – Jungian – Jung – archetypes – death – rebirth – psychopomp – comparative religion – folklore – cross-cultural – symbolism – afterlife – spirits Introduction While attending a dinner party, a woman approached me and, knowing that a focus of my scholarship was the afterlife, asked me plainly whether there was a life after death. Attempting to avoid the kind of lengthy discourse into which academics are wont to launch when asked about their research, I offered a sim- ple, “No.” This response was admittedly, in retrospect, insensitive.

The morepork is named for the sound of its call, and for the same reason is also known as the ruru to Maori, and in Norfolk Island is called the boo-book (say each of those names out loud to understand why). Ruru are one of New Zealand's three remaining birds of prey and one of the few native bird species that have adapted to human colonisation. In particular, ruru have done well out of the smorgasbord of introduced rodents. Owls are amazing birds, due to their adaptations as night-hunters. They have soft fringes on the ends of their feathers which makes them the original stealth jets, flying silently through the forest. They also have forward-facing eyes, giving them binocular vision - perfect for swooping on prey. The big yellow eyes of the ruru were probably an inspiration to Maori carvers, and the style of carvings in meeting houses with wide open eyes are thought to be motivated by them. So too are the wide open eyes given during a pukana in Maori haka and performances. In Maori mythology, ruru are considered to be wise and represent protection or a warning."

I take both emotional intensity and whether a dream wakes you up as signs that you need to pay some serious attention. So I started researching owls, and their general meaning has to do with the scary/mysterious night-time knowledge, regardless of culture (with the exception of the Japanese, but that has to do with the fact that the Japanese word for owl is close to their word for good fortune, and therefore owls are associated with fortune in the Japanese culture, but that's really a one off.) Following are the various meanings of owls from around the world. Owl symbolism from around the world The owl is sacred to the Greek goddess of learning, Athena and is even depicted on some Greco-Roman currency as a symbol of status, intelligence and of course, wealth. In ancient Egyptian, Celtic, and Hindu cultures the symbolic meaning of owl revolved around guardianship of the underworlds, and a protection of the dead. In this light the owl was ruler of the night and seer of souls. A misunderstanding of this necessary relationship gave the owl some negative associations with death. It should be clear that the owl was honored as the keeper of spirits who had passed from one plane to another."

This is completely subjective to people, culture and the myths they want to believe is true.my understanding for them being called dumb (idiot-ullu) is because of their timings to go on prowl at night time and rest during day time. This behaviour of owl is contrary to human nature. Therefore critically they are acting dumb according to people. ( but there are scientific reasons to justify owl’s unconventionally nocturnal behaviour). They are also considered to be wise in many culture and places. This may be because of their ability to look around in 360 degrees without moving their body they can rotate their head up to 270 degrees horizontally. This represents that they are not only following what they see in front but survey all around them before they make any move. This action resonates to the nature of any wise person, who thinks not only in one direction but also considers all the conditions surrounding it.

It sounds a lot like a cat in distress, but I don't think so because every time I get close to the area, the sound stops and it's been going on for weeks. It's very repetitive. Sometimes it sounds just like a meow and sometimes just a weird wail like a baby crying or something. Here are the details. I have a creek in my backyard and very tall trees. I live in North Georgia. I have 2 barred owls that live in that same area. I know their calls and I am very familiar with what the adults sound like."

To determine what’s what and what’s where . . . © Doug Zwick - FCC View Large Download i Tunes Podcast Feed Share this story Support More Shows Like This If you were to stand face to face with an owl, it would eventually move its head, bobbing rhythmically from side to side, then forward, then back. Or almost completely upside down. This head-bobbing action helps make up for an anatomical limitation: an owl’s eyes are fixed in position — they can’t move the way a human’s eyes do. The owl’s varied head movements help it judge the position and distance of things around it — essentially, to triangulate on objects, including potential prey. And to build a composite picture of its surroundings.

If the owl is not bothered, it will slowly closes its eyes and fall asleep. Its talons clutch the tree branch and keep it from falling off its perch!Contrary to popular belief, owls cannot turn their heads completely around. They can rotate their heads 270 degrees, thanks to extra vertebra in their necks. Because their eyes are fixed in their sockets - they can't move their eyes up or down or side to side - the owl has to move its whole head to compensate. When owls are awake, they use their hearing and eyesight to alert them to danger or possible prey. A great horned owl's eyes are almost as big as a human's, and allow a great deal of light to pass through the pupil, allowing the owl to see in dark conditions. If a great horned owl was as large as a human, its eyes would be the size of oranges!Owls have and incredible sense of hearing as well, a trait that allows them to hunt at night.

A raptor is a bird that has a sharp beak and sharp claws or talons that it uses to catch and eat its food. Check out our Science Trek Birds of Prey website for more information!Members of the raptor group include hawks, eagles, falcons and owls. Unlike other raptors, owls are mostly nocturnal, hunting at night when the other raptors are sleeping. Because of this, owls and other raptors can share a territory and tend to not compete with each other. An example of this would be a red-tailed hawk and a great horned owl. During the day while the owl snoozes, the red-tailed hawk will be able to find prey that is also active in the daytime. But at night, the owl takes over, hunting nocturnal animals. As a group of birds, owls have been around for a long time."

They are also quite protective of their nests, and attack anyone who comes close to or disrupts their nests. Snowy owls mate in May, and it takes approximately 32 days for the eggs to arrive.

Professionals usually specialize in a particular field, such as conducting research and surveys on public opinion, advising politicians and important government officials, or providing commentary on policy decisions. A political scientist might work for a specific government office, private research institution, university, or a nonprofit awareness group. Political science is an exciting, ever-changing field that is appealing to professionals with many different interests. Many people choose to become political scientists because they want to improve current social and economic conditions. They may work in government agencies or nonprofit organizations to develop statistics and advocate public awareness. Experts design and conduct surveys and research projects to analyze poverty rates, pollution levels, water and food quality, the condition of roads and public structures, and the effectiveness of government initiatives, among thousands of other variables. They use this information to write reports, educate officials and the public, and promote change. A skilled political scientist may work for a specific politician or official, conducting research and providing expert advice on political decisions. He or she might specialize in certain types of policies, such as international affairs, Homeland Security, health care, education, or business development."

"text": "Political Representation First published Mon Jan 2, 2006; substantive revision Fri Jan 6, 2017The concept of political representation is misleadingly simple: everyone seems to know what it is, yet few can agree on any particular definition. In fact, there is an extensive literature that offers many different definitions of this elusive concept. [ Classic treatments of the concept of political representations within this literature include Pennock and Chapman 1968; Pitkin, 1967 and Schwartz, 1988.] Hanna Pitkin (1967) provides, perhaps, one of the most straightforward definitions: to represent is simply to “make present again.” On this definition, political representation is the activity of making citizens’ voices, opinions, and perspectives “present” in public policy making processes. Political representation occurs when political actors speak, advocate, symbolize, and act on the behalf of others in the political arena. In short, political representation is a kind of political assistance. This seemingly straightforward definition, however, is not adequate as it stands. For it leaves the concept of political representation underspecified. Indeed, as we will see, the concept of political representation has multiple and competing dimensions: our common understanding of political representation is one that contains different, and conflicting, conceptions of how political representatives should represent and so holds representatives to standards that are mutually incompatible."

Credit: Ron Cogswell via Flickr Academic disputes are different from bar fights. At a House hearing last month, someone suggested to Sarah Green she meet Richard Tol, a climate change economist who had attacked her research moments before in front of a panel of lawmakers. Green declined politely, with a wry smile. Tol, a professor of economics at Britain's University of Sussex, had no idea Green was in the hearing room. The two have never met, although they have been tussling in obscure journals. The point of contention is a peer-reviewed study published last year by Green, a chemistry professor at Michigan Technological University; John Cook, a research fellow at the Global Change Institute at the University of Queensland in Australia; and 10 other scientists who blog under the collective name of Skeptical Science. The scientists examined 4,014 abstracts on climate change and found 97.2 percent of the papers assumed humans play a role in global warming ( Climate Wire, May 16, 2013). That statement quickly got boiled down in the popular media to a much simpler message: that 97 percent of scientists believe climate change is caused by humans. President Obama tweeted the 97 percent consensus."

Is political theory based on a more scientific method rather than political thought? Is there no difference ? History of Political Thought Political Theory Share1 Recommendation Popular Answers ( 1)3 years ago David T. Risser Millersville University Often political theory is seen as a sub-field of political science. Unlike other sub-fields of political science, political theory does not model its approach to knowledge on the natural sciences. Political theorists see their field as among the humanities and as drawing from other humanities, such as the disciplines of ethics, history, linguistics, cultural anthropology, and other relevant fields. Political philosophy is often seen as a branch of academic philosophy, with especially close and sometimes overlapping relationships to normative moral philosophy and meta-ethics. Aristotle is particularly clear in underscoring his view of the reflexive nature of these relationships. In comparing political philosophy with political theory, the scope and the broader more all-encompassing nature of political philosophy strikes me as essential. Plato ( Republic), Hobbes ( Leviathan), and Marx (in the entire body of his work), are but three examples of political philosophers."

"text": "Existentialism First published Mon Aug 23, 2004; substantive revision Mon Mar 9, 2015Like “rationalism” and “empiricism,” “existentialism” is a term that belongs to intellectual history. Its definition is thus to some extent one of historical convenience. The term was explicitly adopted as a self-description by Jean-Paul Sartre, and through the wide dissemination of the postwar literary and philosophical output of Sartre and his associates—notably Simone de Beauvoir, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and Albert Camus—existentialism became identified with a cultural movement that flourished in Europe in the 1940s and 1950s. Among the major philosophers identified as existentialists (many of whom—for instance Camus and Heidegger—repudiated the label) were Karl Jaspers, Martin Heidegger, and Martin Buber in Germany, Jean Wahl and Gabriel Marcel in France, the Spaniards José Ortega y Gasset and Miguel de Unamuno, and the Russians Nikolai Berdyaev and Lev Shestov. The nineteenth century philosophers, Søren Kierkegaard and Friedrich Nietzsche, came to be seen as precursors of the movement. Existentialism was as much a literary phenomenon as a philosophical one. Sartre's own ideas were and are better known through his fictional works (such as Nausea and No Exit) than through his more purely philosophical ones (such as Being and Nothingness and Critique of Dialectical Reason), and the postwar years found a very diverse coterie of writers and artists linked under the term: retrospectively, Dostoevsky, Ibsen, and Kafka were conscripted; in Paris there were Jean Genet, André Gide, André Malraux, and the expatriate Samuel Beckett; the Norwegian Knut Hamsun and the Romanian Eugene Ionesco belong to the club; artists such as Alberto Giacometti and even Abstract Expressionists such as Jackson Pollock, Arshile Gorky, and Willem de Kooning, and filmmakers such as Jean-Luc Godard and Ingmar Bergman were understood in existential terms. By the mid 1970s the cultural image of existentialism had become a cliché, parodized in countless books and films by Woody Allen. It is sometimes suggested, therefore, that existentialism just is this bygone cultural movement rather than an identifiable philosophical position; or, alternatively, that the term should be restricted to Sartre's philosophy alone. But while a philosophical definition of existentialism may not entirely ignore the cultural fate of the term, and while Sartre's thought must loom large in any account of existentialism, the concept does pick out a distinctive cluster of philosophical problems and helpfully identifies a relatively distinct current of twentieth- and now twenty-first-century philosophical inquiry, one that has had significant impact on fields such as theology (through Rudolf Bultmann, Paul Tillich, Karl Barth, and others) and psychology (from Ludwig Binswanger and Medard Boss to Otto Rank, R. D. Laing, and Viktor Frankl)."

"text": "Auguste Comte First published Wed Oct 1, 2008; substantive revision Thu Oct 16, 2014Auguste Comte (1798–1857) is the founder of positivism, a philosophical and political movement which enjoyed a very wide diffusion in the second half of the nineteenth century. It sank into an almost complete oblivion during the twentieth, when it was eclipsed by neopositivism. However, Comte's decision to develop successively a philosophy of mathematics, a philosophy of physics, a philosophy of chemistry and a philosophy of biology, makes him the first philosopher of science in the modern sense, and his constant attention to the social dimension of science resonates in many respects with current points of view. His political philosophy, on the other hand, is even less known, because it differs substantially from the classical political philosophy we have inherited. Comte's most important works are (1) the Course on Positive Philosophy (1830-1842, six volumes, translated and condensed by Harriet Martineau as The Positive Philosophy of Auguste Comte ); (2) the System of Positive Polity, or Treatise on Sociology, Instituting the Religion of Humanity, (1851-1854, four volumes); and (3) the Early Writings (1820-1829), where one can see the influence of Saint-Simon, for whom Comte served as secretary from 1817 to 1824. The Early Writings are still the best introduction to Comte's thought. In the Course, Comte said, science was transformed into philosophy; in the System, philosophy was transformed into religion. The second transformation met with strong opposition; as a result, it has become customary to distinguish, with Mill, between a “good Comte” (the author of the Course) and a “bad Comte” (the author of the System ). Today's common conception of positivism corresponds mainly to what can be found in the Course.1. Introduction2."

"text": "\"Commentary: Several comments have been posted about Rhetoric . Download: A text-only version is available for download . Rhetoric By Aristotle Written 350 B. C. E Translated by W. Rhys Roberts Table of Contents Book IPart 1 Rhetoric is the counterpart of Dialectic. Both alike are concerned with such things as come, more or less, within the general ken of all men and belong to no definite science. Accordingly all men make use, more or less, of both; for to a certain extent all men attempt to discuss statements and to maintain them, to defend themselves and to attack others. Ordinary people do this either at random or through practice and from acquired habit. Both ways being possible, the subject can plainly be handled systematically, for it is possible to inquire the reason why some speakers succeed through practice and others spontaneously; and every one will at once agree that such an inquiry is the function of an art. Now, the framers of the current treatises on rhetoric have constructed but a small portion of that art. The modes of persuasion are the only true constituents of the art: everything else is merely accessory. These writers, however, say nothing about enthymemes, which are the substance of rhetorical persuasion, but deal mainly with non-essentials."

"text": "Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712—1778)Jean-Jacques Rousseau was one of the most influential thinkers during the Enlightenment in eighteenth century Europe. His first major philosophical work, A Discourse on the Sciences and Arts, was the winning response to an essay contest conducted by the Academy of Dijon in 1750. In this work, Rousseau argues that the progression of the sciences and arts has caused the corruption of virtue and morality. This discourse won Rousseau fame and recognition, and it laid much of the philosophical groundwork for a second, longer work, The Discourse on the Origin of Inequality. The second discourse did not win the Academy’s prize, but like the first, it was widely read and further solidified Rousseau’s place as a significant intellectual figure. The central claim of the work is that human beings are basically good by nature, but were corrupted by the complex historical events that resulted in present day civil society. Rousseau’s praise of nature is a theme that continues throughout his later works as well, the most significant of which include his comprehensive work on the philosophy of education, the Emile, and his major work on political philosophy, The Social Contract: both published in 1762. These works caused great controversy in France and were immediately banned by Paris authorities. Rousseau fled France and settled in Switzerland, but he continued to find difficulties with authorities and quarrel with friends. The end of Rousseau’s life was marked in large part by his growing paranoia and his continued attempts to justify his life and his work."

"text": "Philosophy of History First published Sun Feb 18, 2007; substantive revision Thu Oct 13, 2016The concept of history plays a fundamental role in human thought. It invokes notions of human agency, change, the role of material circumstances in human affairs, and the putative meaning of historical events. It raises the possibility of “learning from history.” And it suggests the possibility of better understanding ourselves in the present, by understanding the forces, choices, and circumstances that brought us to our current situation. It is therefore unsurprising that philosophers have sometimes turned their attention to efforts to examine history itself and the nature of historical knowledge. These reflections can be grouped together into a body of work called “philosophy of history.” This work is heterogeneous, comprising analyses and arguments of idealists, positivists, logicians, theologians, and others, and moving back and forth over the divides between European and Anglo-American philosophy, and between hermeneutics and positivism. Given the plurality of voices within the “philosophy of history,” it is impossible to give one definition of the field that suits all these approaches. In fact, it is misleading to imagine that we refer to a single philosophical tradition when we invoke the phrase, “philosophy of history,” because the strands of research characterized here rarely engage in dialogue with each other. Still, we can usefully think of philosophers' writings about history as clustering around several large questions, involving metaphysics, hermeneutics, epistemology, and historicism: (1) What does history consist of—individual actions, social structures, periods and regions, civilizations, large causal processes, divine intervention?

It is a very tricking question. To answer this question in a precise way on which there can be unanimity is very difficult even for a professional sociologist. This is why, at the time of the Ninth World Congress of Sociology (1976), the Mayoress of Uppsala (Sweden) while welcoming the delegates commented on the printed programme that \"\"sociology is everything and everything is sociology\"\". Common man understands sociology right in this way. Generally and in a very simple manner, sociology is defined as the study of society (more specifically, human society or societies or human behaviour in societies). But, this definition does not tell us much about sociology. It leaves unanswered a description or definition of the term 'society'. We learn about man and society or about human behaviour in psychology, anthropology, economics, political science and many other disciplines. Then, why we study sociology?"

"text": "\"Report Progressivism The Progressive Movement and the Transformation of American Politics July 18, 2007 30 min read Download Report Authors: William A. Schambra and Thomas West Summary Progressivism was the reform movement that ran from the late 19th century through the first decades of the 20th century, during which leading intellectuals and social reformers in the United States sought to address the economic, political, and cultural questions that had arisen in the context of the rapid changes brought with the Industrial Revolution and the growth of modern capitalism in America. The Progressives believed that these changes marked the end of the old order and required the creation of a new order appropriate for the new industrial age. Key Takeaways The roots of the liberalism with which we are familiar lie in the Progressive Era. For the Progressives, freedom is redefined as the fulfillment of human capacities, which becomes the primary task of the state. To some degree, modern conservatism owes its success to a recovery of and an effort to root itself in the Founders' constitutionalism. Copied Select a Section 1 /0There are, of course, many different representations of Progressivism: the literature of Upton Sinclair, the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, the history of Charles Beard, the educational system of John Dewey. In politics and political thought, the movement is associated with political leaders such as Woodrow Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt and thinkers such as Herbert Croly and Charles Merriam. While the Progressives differed in their assessment of the problems and how to resolve them, they generally shared in common the view that government at every level must be actively involved in these reforms. The existing constitutional system was outdated and must be made into a dynamic, evolving instrument of social change, aided by scientific knowledge and the development of administrative bureaucracy. At the same time, the old system was to be opened up and made more democratic; hence, the direct elections of Senators, the open primary, the initiative and referendum."

Whether countries are at war or at peace depends both on what governments do and who supports them. What is Political Science? Political science is the study a range of political ideas, events, actions, and institutions. It includes both understanding and explaining the world of politics that is all around us.

The S curve can be considered as an indicator and it's used for many applications related to project management such as: target, baseline, cost, time etc. That's why there is a variety of S Curves such as: -Cost versus Time S Curve; (appropriate for projects that contain labour and non-labour tasks). -Target S Curve; (This S Curve reflects the ideal progress of the project if all tasks are completed as currently scheduled) -Value and Percentage S Curves; (Percentage S Curves are useful for calculating the project's actual percentage complete) -Actual S Curve; (This S Curve reflects the actual progress of the project to date) In order to be able to generate a S Curve, A Baseline and Production Schedule are necessary because they contain important information for each task: -the Baseline - contains information about Actual Start date and finish date. -The Baseline - can also contain information about Man Hours and costs. -The Production Schedule contains information about the actual percentage complete.

The freezing points of these solutions, which will contain known amounts of p -dichlorobenzene dissolved in cyclohexane, will be measured. In the second part of the lab, the freezing point of a cyclohexane solution will be prepared that contains a known mass of an unknown organic solid. The measured freezing point change will be used to calculate the molar mass of the unknown solid. Objectives of the Data Analysis• Use the mathematical relationship between freezing point depression and solution molality. Suggested Review and External Reading• Reference information on thermodynamics; data analysis; relevant textbook information Background If a liquid is at a higher temperature than its surroundings, the liquid's temperature will fall as it gives up heat to the surroundings. When the liquid's temperature reaches its freezing point, the liquid's temperature will not fall as it continues to give up heat to the surroundings. Instead, the liquid will begin to freeze. Those parts closest to the cold surroundings will turn from liquid to solid. This freezing process releases a quantity of heat energy that is equal in magnitude but opposite in sign to the heat of fusion, Δ H fusion, of the substance."

"text": "The NSA, NIST and the AMSPosted on July 21, 2014 by woit Among the many disturbing aspects of the behavior of the NSA revealed by the Snowden documents, the most controversial one directly relevant to mathematicians was the story of the NSA’s involvement in a flawed NIST cryptography standard (for more see here and here ). The New York Times reported: Classified N. S. A. memos appear to confirm that the fatal weakness, discovered by two Microsoft cryptographers in 2007, was engineered by the agency. The N. S. A. wrote the standard and aggressively pushed it on the international group, privately calling the effort “a challenge in finesse. ”The standard was based on the mathematics of elliptic curves, so this is a clearly identifiable case where mathematicians seem to have been involved in using their expertise to subvert the group tasked with producing high quality cryptography. A big question this raises has been what the NIST will do about this. In April they removed the dubious algorithm from their standards, and published the public comments (many of which were highly critical) on a draft statement about their development process. At the same time a panel of experts was convened to examine what had gone wrong in this case, and this panel has (on a very short time-scale) just produced its report (associated news stories here, here and here ). The rules of how such panels are set up evidently require that each panelist provide an individual report, rather than attempt to have a consensus version. The new NIST document gives these reports together with minutes of the meetings where the panelists were provided with information. It seems that the NSA provided no information at all as part of this process, and they remain unwilling to answer any questions about their actions."

Let us understand both these elements.2.1) Work breakdown Structure: The PMBOK Guide defines a WBS as a deliverable, orientated grouping of project elements, that organizes and defines the total scope of the project. By using a WBS, it allows the project team to plan a project by means of a hierarchical structure, by identifying the elements and sub elements. A work package, usually at the lowest level of a WBS, includes a series of tasks to be carried out as part of an element of work. The WBS is interfaced with the project plan and the coding structure within the WBS, allow reporting of cost and schedule forecasts to deliver the schedule and cost reports. Recent developments have initiated a Cost Breakdown Structure (CBS), which links to the WBS, but allows increased details of monitoring and cost control to take place.2.2) Critical Path Logic Diagram: The critical path logic diagram is the process of recording and presenting the logical interfaces between schedule activities. A more common name for this type of diagram is a PERT chart; which is short for Programme Evaluation Review Technique. The critical path logic diagram is created as a series of schedule activities represented by a box for each activity. Each activity box is linked to its dependencies by lines with arrow heads to show the sequence of the dependencies."

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."

S. government predictions for oil production other than in OPEC and the former Soviet Union The Hubbert peak theory says that for any given geographical area, from an individual oil-producing region to the planet as a whole, the rate of petroleum production tends to follow a bell-shaped curve. It is one of the primary theories on peak oil. Choosing a particular curve determines a point of maximum production based on discovery rates, production rates and cumulative production. Early in the curve (pre-peak), the production rate increases due to the discovery rate and the addition of infrastructure. Late in the curve (post-peak), production declines because of resource depletion. The Hubbert peak theory is based on the observation that the amount of oil under the ground in any region is finite, therefore the rate of discovery which initially increases quickly must reach a maximum and decline. In the US, oil extraction followed the discovery curve after a time lag of 32 to 35 years. [ 1] [2] The theory is named after American geophysicist M. King Hubbert, who created a method of modeling the production curve given an assumed ultimate recovery volume.

"text": "\"I. Overview Although we don't often view them in this context, blood vessels are subject to mechanical stress during the pumping of blood. Thus, blood vessels must have mechanical properties that can withstand these stresses. Again, the mechanical properties of blood vessels are a function of the underlying tissue structure. Since blood vessels are soft collagenous tissues (with a good deal of elastin, another biomolecule), their stress-strain behavior resembles that of other soft collagenous tissues like ligaments and tendons. Thus, we can approximate their behavior under cyclic stress as pseudoelastic, nonlinear material, which implies hyperelasticity modeling. In addition, it seems that blood vessels like other biological tissues like to live in a homeostatic stress/strain range. Values of stress/strain outside of this range will lead to adaptation and changes in the tissue structure. In this section, we will give a brief overview of blood vessel structure, followed by an overview of modeling blood vessels as hyperelastic materials and the relationship of blood vessel properties to their structure, and finally, a description of mechanically mediated adaptation of blood vessels. II. Blood Vessel Structure In general the circulatory system of blood vessels may be broken down into those vessels that deliver oxygenated blood to tissues: the arteries, arterioles, and capillaries, and those vessels that return blood with carbon dioxide for gas exchange: the veins and venules."

"text": "\"KINKED-DEMAND CURVE ANALYSIS: An analysis using the kinked-demand curve to explain rigid prices often found with oligopoly. The kinked-demand curve contains two distinct segments--one for higher prices that is more elastic and one for lower prices that is less elastic. Key to this analysis is that the corresponding marginal revenue curve contains three segments--one associated with the more elastic segment, one associated with the less elastic segment, and one associated with the kink. A profit-maximizing firm can then equate marginal cost to a wide range of marginal revenue values along the vertical segment of the marginal revenue curve. This suggests that marginal cost must change significantly before an oligopolistic firm is inclined to change price. The kinked-demand curve analysis of oligopoly builds on the notion of interdependent decision-making to explain why prices tend to be relative stable or rigid. The key to this analysis is that competing firm s do not respond in the same way when one firm increases or decreases its price. Competing firms match price decreases, but not price increases. This means a firm is likely to lose market share for price increases, but does not gain market share for price decreases. A firm has little to gain from reducing prices and much to lose form raising prices."

These biological assays were performed in laboratory animals such as dogs, pigs or rodents. The usefulness of these assays was limited because methods were cumbersome and interpretation of results was complicated by confounding problems introduced by other hormones or neural influences. Invention of radioimmunoassay revolutionized the study of endocrinology and most hormones can now be measured by this method. However, the radioimmunoassay of CCK was particularly difficult for several reasons (9). First, multiple molecular forms of CCK ranging from CCK-4 to CCK-83 have been found in blood. Although it appears as though CCK-58 is the major circulating form in the species examined, other forms may contribute to CCK activity."

PMCID: PMC91662Combined Effects of p H and Sugar on Growth Rate of Zygosaccharomyces rouxii, a Bakery Product Spoilage Yeast Jeanne-Marie Membré, 1, * Martine Kubaczka, 1and Christine Chéné 2Author information ► Article notes ► Copyright and License information ►Go to: Abstract The effects of citric acid-modified p H (p H 2.5, 2.75, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, and 5.5) and a 30% glucose–70% sucrose mixture (300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 875, and 900 g/liter) on an osmophilic yeast, Zygosaccharomyces rouxii, were determined by using synthetic medium. One hundred experiments were carried out; 50-ml culture flasks were inoculated with 10 3 CFU ml −1 by using a collection strain and a wild-type strain cocktail. The biomass was measured by counting cell colonies, and growth curves were fitted by using a Baranyi equation. The growth rate decreased linearly with sugar concentration, while the effect of p H was nonlinear. Indeed, the optimal p H range was found to be p H 3.5 to 5, and p H 2.5 resulted in a 30% reduction in the growth rate. Finally, we evaluated the performance of two nonlinear predictive models developed previously to describe bacterial contamination. Equations derived from the Rosso and Ratkowsky models gave similar results; however, the model that included dimensionless terms based on the Ratkowsky equation was preferred because it contained fewer estimated parameters and also because biological interpretation of the results was easier. Over the last 15 years, the predictive modelling approach has been developed in order to determine microbial growth as a function of temperature, p H, and water activity (a w) ( 19 )."

"text": "Most cell biology experiments utilize transient transfection protocols that afford peak gene expression between 24-96 hours post transfection. However, if sustained gene expression is required for longer periods of time, generation of stable cell lines is a viable option. Furthermore, stable cell lines selected through limited dilution provide a genetically homogenous and clonal population. Stable cell line generation is made possible by the use of positive selection markers such as hygromycin, G418/Geneticin, zeocin, and blasticidin antibiotic resistance. Selection markers can be delivered using the same plasmid that contains the gene of interest (in cis ), or on a separate plasmid (in trans) that needs to be co-transfected with the plasmid containing the gene of interest. The cis approach is generally easier and has a higher likelihood of producing drug-resistant stable transfectants that express the gene of interest. The trans method of co-transfection is a good alternative in instances where the target construct does not have the antibiotic-resistance gene in the vector backbone. In such cases, a plasmid mixture containing 5 to 10 parts gene expression plasmid and 1 part antibiotic selection marker plasmid can be introduced into cells. This plasmid ratio helps ensure that the selected cells will express both the gene of interest and the selection marker. Stable cell line generation protocol The protocol for generating stable cell lines requires several steps as shown below: Generate a kill curve to determine the optimal selection antibiotic concentration Transfect cells with desired plasmid construct (s)Select and expand stable polyclonal colonies Identify single clones by limited dilution and expansion Transfer clones and assess expression Expand and freeze down high expressing clones Generate a kill curve to determine the optimal selection antibiotic concentration The first critical step for stable cell line generation is determining the optimal antibiotic concentration for selecting stable cell colonies."

"text": "\"Kids Health / For Parents / Undescended Testicles Listenen español Testículos no descendidos What Are Undescended Testicles? Undescended testicles (also known as cryptorchidism) is a condition in which one or both of a baby boy's testicles (testes) have not moved down into their proper place in the scrotum. How Do Undescended Testicles Happen? As a baby boy grows inside his mother's womb, his testicles form inside his abdomen and move down (descend) into the scrotum shortly before birth. But in some cases, that move doesn't happen, and the baby is born with one or both testicles undescended. The majority of cases are in male babies born prematurely. Undescended testicles move down on their own in about half of these babies by the time they're 6 months old. If they don't, it's important to get treatment. The testicles make and store sperm, and if they don't descend they could become damaged. This could affect fertility later in life or lead to other medical problems."

"text": "\"Horse Ownership FAQs What Is a Gelding? An explanation of what an equine gelding is By Katherine Blocksdorf Updated 03/28/18Share Pin Email© by Martin Deja / Getty Images A gelding is a castrated male horse, donkey, or mule. Unless a horse is to be used for breeding purposes, it should be castrated. Gelding can make horses more even-tempered and easier to handle. A stallion who is gelded later in life may retain more aggressive stallion-like behavior. Optimal Age for Gelding a Horse A colt may be gelded before it is one year old -- as soon as the testicles descend into the scrotum. Many owners feel that the earlier the better so that the colt does not develop any stallion-like behaviors. The testicles produce testosterone, and it’s this hormone that governs stallion-like physical characteristics such as a crested neck and the sometimes aggressive and dominant behavior that could be a danger to other stallions or geldings, and to anyone handling the horse. Geldings also usually have little interest in mares. Others like to leave gelding until later, believing that the future gelding will have a more flashy physical presence."

Methods This retrospective study included 202 MRI examination results of 199 male fetuses (17–39 gestational weeks) with normal anatomy or minor congenital abnormalities, following suspicion of anomalies on prenatal ultrasound examination. Using a 1.5-Tesla unit, multiplanar T2-weighted sequences were applied using a standard protocol to image and identify the scrotal content. The relative frequencies of unilateral and bilateral testicular descent were calculated and correlated with gestational age. Results Between 17 and 25 gestational weeks, neither unilateral nor bilateral testicular descent was visualized on MRI. Testicular descent was first observed at 25 + 4 weeks, in 7.7% of cases. 12.5% of 27-week fetuses showed unilateral descent and 50% showed bilateral descent. Bilateral descent was observed in 95.7% of cases, on average, from 30 to 39 weeks. Conclusions Our results chart the time course of testicular descent on prenatal MRI, which may be helpful in the identification of normal male sexual development and in the diagnosis of congenital abnormalities, including the early detection of cryptorchidism.

In most cases the surgeon applies traction by placing a suture in the lower scrotum and attaching the suture to the inner thigh with adhesive tape. This traction is continued for about a week. Alternatively, a surgeon may prefer to suture the undescended testis to surrounding tissue in the scrotum. Patient Care. Preoperative care of the child is routine. During the postoperative period care must be taken to avoid disturbing the tension mechanism. Contamination of the suture line should be avoided, and if the boy is not toilet trained, he usually must have an indwelling catheter in placeuntil his incision has healed."

"text": "Orchiopexy is a surgical procedure in which a testicle is fixed in the scrotum. This procedure is most commonly performed in men and boys with undescended testicles, although it can also be used to repair testicular torsion. The orchiopexy surgery is relatively straightforward, and is sometimes done as an outpatient procedure. If a patient does need to stay in the hospital after the surgery, the hospital stay is typically very brief. In the case of males with cryptorchidism, the technical term for an undescended testicle, the surgeon locates the testicle in the abdomen and brings it down into the scrotum, stitching it in place to give it a chance to settle. The sutures will absorb as the surgery site heals. Sometimes, this procedure can be done laparoscopically, with the use of surgical instruments inserted through small incisions in the abdomen. In other cases, it may be necessary to make an incision to locate the testicle so that it can be moved. Ad Undescended testicles are often recognized when men are very young, with the procedure commonly being done in infancy or young boyhood by a pediatric urologist. The procedure can also be performed in adults who have not had the surgery, including people with chromosomal variations which may have concealed the fact that they had undescended testicles."

About 165 Victorian males are diagnosed with this cancer each year. In most cases, testicular cancer is curable. The testicles (testes) are two small, oval-shaped organs located behind the penis in a skin sack called the scrotum. They are part of the male reproductive system. Sperm and sex hormones are made by the testicles. Causes of testicular cancer Testicular cancer is a relatively rare disease in Australia. The exact cause remains unknown, but there are several factors that may increase a man’s risk of developing testicular cancer. These risk factors include: Undescended testes (cryptorchidism) – men born with undescended testes are more likely to develop testicular cancer. Surgical correction of the undescended testes can reduce but not completely offset this risk."

Fast Facts About Undescended Testicle Repair Surgery This surgery is done to move a young boy’s testicles from his abdomen, or tummy, into the scrotum (SKROT-um), the sac of skin that holds the testicles on the outside of the body. Orchiopexy is an outpatient surgery that will be done at the Same Day Surgery Center at Children’s Hospital in Lawrenceville or at Children’s North. Your child’s surgery will be done under general anesthesia (an-es-THEEZ-ya), which means that he will be asleep during the surgery. When general anesthesia is needed, there are special rules for eating and drinking that must be followed in the hours before surgery. During the surgery, your child will be given a numbing medication—either an injection in the low back called a caudal (COD-ull) or directly into the incision (in-SIZH-yun), or cut—to relieve discomfort after the surgery.

"text": "Print Overview Low sperm count means that the fluid (semen) you ejaculate during an orgasm contains fewer sperm than normal. A low sperm count is also called oligospermia (ol-ih-go-SPUR-me-uh). A complete absence of sperm is called azoospermia. Your sperm count is considered lower than normal if you have fewer than 15 million sperm per milliliter of semen. Having a low sperm count decreases the odds that one of your sperm will fertilize your partner's egg, resulting in pregnancy. Nonetheless, many men who have a low sperm count are still able to father a child. Symptoms The main sign of low sperm count is the inability to conceive a child. There might be no other obvious signs or symptoms. In some cases, an underlying problem such as an inherited chromosomal abnormality, a hormonal imbalance, dilated testicular veins or a condition that blocks the passage of sperm may cause signs and symptoms. Low sperm count symptoms might include: Problems with sexual function — for example, low sex drive or difficulty maintaining an erection (erectile dysfunction)Pain, swelling or a lump in the testicle area Decreased facial or body hair or other signs of a chromosome or hormone abnormality When to see a doctor See a doctor if you have been unable to conceive a child after a year of regular, unprotected intercourse or sooner if you have any of the following: Erection or ejaculation problems, low sex drive, or other problems with sexual function Pain, discomfort, a lump or swelling in the testicle area A history of testicle, prostate or sexual problems Groin, testicle, penis or scrotum surgery Request an Appointment at Mayo Clinic Causes The production of sperm is a complex process and requires normal functioning of the testicles (testes) as well as the hypothalamus and pituitary glands — organs in your brain that produce hormones that trigger sperm production."

"text": "Why do some male dogs have retained testicles? Retained testicles, or cryptorchidism, may involve one or both testicles. It is due to errors in development. The testicle forms near the spine and migrates from there down into the scrotum. It is attached to a ligament that lengthens as it migrates and once the testicle is in place the opening into the scrotum from the abdomen narrows, holding it in place. Sometimes the testicle goes off-course, sometimes the ligament isn’t long enough or contracts (almost 5% of young puppies with descended testicles later permanently retracted them – 2009-10 ASHGI health survey), or the opening closes too soon (or the testicle arrives too late) excluding it from the scrotum. While the medical terminology for the condition is “cryptorchid,” dog jargon uses that word to mean both testicles undescended and “monorchid” for one. If a testicle is missing in a young dog will it come down later? Generally speaking, if the testicles have not descended by 4 months of age they probably won’t. However, they will sometimes come down later, even several months later though this is extremely unusual."

These include unusual facial characteristics, short stature, heart defects, other physical problems and possible developmental delays. Noonan syndrome is caused by a genetic mutation and is acquired when a child inherits a copy of an affected gene from a parent (dominant inheritance). It can also occur as a spontaneous mutation, meaning there's no family history involved. Management of Noonan syndrome focuses on controlling the disorder's symptoms and complications. Growth hormone may be used to treat short stature in some people with Noonan syndrome. Symptoms Signs and symptoms of Noonan syndrome vary greatly among individuals and may be mild to severe. Characteristics may be related to the specific gene containing the mutation. Facial features Facial appearance is one of the key clinical features that leads to a diagnosis of Noonan syndrome."

"text": "Undescended testicle Undescended testicle occurs when one or both testicles fail to move into the scrotum before birth. Causes Most of the time, a boy's testicles descend by the time he is 9 months old. Undescended testicles are common in infants who are born early. The problem occurs less in full-term infants. Some babies have a condition called retractile testes and the health care provider may not be able to find the testicles. In this case, the testicle is normal, but is pulled back out of the scrotum by a muscle reflex. This occurs because the testicles are still small before puberty. The testicles will descend normally at puberty and surgery is not needed. Testicles that do not naturally descend into the scrotum are considered abnormal. An undescended testicle is more likely to develop cancer, even if it is brought into the scrotum with surgery."

"text": "Orchiopexy for Undescended Testicle Surgery Overview Surgery to move an undescended testicle into the scrotum is called orchiopexy or orchidopexy. It is usually performed on babies who are 9 to 15 months old. In most cases, a pediatric surgeon or a specialist who treats urinary problems in children (pediatric urologist) performs the surgery. Orchiopexy may also be done on older boys and, rarely, on teens and adult men who have undescended testicles. Depending on the location of the testicle, one or two small incisions are made in the scrotum, the groin, or the abdomen to allow the surgeon to reach the testicle and move it to the scrotum. Sometimes another surgical method called laparoscopy is used to move undescended testicles when they are located high in the inguinal canal or in the abdomen. In both types of orchiopexy, general anesthesia is used. Usually only one surgery is needed. But in some cases where the testicles are located in the abdomen, orchiopexy may require two separate operations that are done several months apart. What To Expect After Surgery Orchiopexy can be done as an outpatient procedure if it is uncomplicated."

"text": "Cryptorchidism (Undescended Testicle) in Dogs27 Aug, 2015 Dr. David Diamond 250,751 Views Share Overview of Canine Cryptorchidism Cryptorchidism is a condition present at birth in which one or both testicles fail to descend into the scrotum from where they develop in the abdomen which can occur in dogs. If the testicle has not descended into the scrotum by approximately two months of age, there usually is little chance that further descent will occur. The undescended testicle is usually underdeveloped and non-functional, although it is a potential source of problems later in life (especially cancer) if not removed. The undescended testicle may remain within the abdomen or it may be located in the inguinal (groin) tissues. Cryptorchidism is believed to be an inherited trait that could be passed on to the next generation if the animal is allowed to reproduce. Bilateral castration (removal of both testes) is recommended in all affected dogs. Diagnosis of Cryptorchidism in Dogs Cryptorchidism is diagnosed by palpation of the scrotum and finding the absence of one or both testicles. The diagnosis is frequently made in the young healthy dog when he is presented to the veterinarian for routine castration. Often the owner is unaware that the problem exists. Laboratory tests are generally not required to make the diagnosis; however, if your pet has bilateral cryptorchidism (both sides) it may be difficult to determine if he had previously been castrated unless you are certain of his entire medical history."

Experts - and many parents of identical twins - argue that \"\"identical\"\" twins are not identical twins and should not be labeled as such; the term simply generates too much confusion. There are many 'self-professed' experts on the web (those with no actual training or experience with twins of any type) that proclaim that since the twins started as a single egg, they are identical, and the only differences that will be seen between the two are physical changes that happen after the babies are born. As a mom of identical twin boys (verified by DNA testing) who are not identical, I can tell you that these people are wrong, in small part because they do not take into account mirror twinning, Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome, mitochondrial DNA, the difference between developmental and genetic characteristics, and how genes in the DNA express themselves once the one egg divides into two. How Identical Twins Happen Identical (or monozygotic) twins happen when a fertilized egg splits into two separate babies - usually within the first twelve days of Mom's pregnancy.

Typically UPS power keeps a personal computer (PC) running for several minutes after a power outage, enabling you to save data that is in memory and shut down the computer gracefully. Many uninterruptible power supplies now offer a software component that enables you to automate backup and shut down procedures in case there's a power failure while you're away from the computer. An uninterruptible power supply system generally offers multiple outlets, allowing you to maintain battery back-up power to more than one device and will also include additional outlets for surge protection. Types of UPSThere are two basic types of UPS systems: the standby power system (SPS) and on-line UPS system. The standby UPS is the most common type of UPS used for desktop computers and other individual electronic devices. The line interactive UPS is more commonly used in small business and server situations. Standby Power System (SPS)The standby power system monitors the power line and switches to battery power as soon as it detects a problem. The switch to battery, however, can require several milliseconds, during which time the computer is not receiving any power. Image Description: The standby UPS, produced by Schneider Electric's Data Center Science Center On-Line UPS System An on-line UPS avoids these momentary power lapses by constantly providing power from its own inverter, even when the power line is functioning properly."

An electric battery is a device consisting of one or more electrochemical cells with external connections provided to power electrical devices such as flashlights, smartphones, and electric cars. [ 1] When a battery is supplying electric power, its positive terminal is the cathode and its negative terminal is the anode. [ 2] The terminal marked negative is the source of electrons that when connected to an external circuit will flow and deliver energy to an external device. When a battery is connected to an external circuit, electrolytes are able to move as ions within, allowing the chemical reactions to be completed at the separate terminals and so deliver energy to the external circuit. It is the movement of those ions within the battery which allows current to flow out of the battery to perform work.

Your choice of a generator depends primarily on the amount of backup power that is required for your specific application. Oftentimes, you may require just a minimum supply of backup power to ensure uninterrupted functioning of basic appliances or mission critical equipment. Or, you may need to be able to support your full load and then some, which is common in high availability environments. In either case, it is not always possible to find a generator that matches your requirements exactly. Sometimes the output power capacity of standard generator units available in the market may greatly exceed your minimum requirement or fall short of your maximum requirement. This is one area where paralleling generators can shine. Parallel Operation of Generators The easiest way to setup a parallel system is to use generators that are exactly alike, or at least have the same output rating and alternator pitch. Another flexible approach to backing up your power requirements is to have two or more generators of variable output. In either scenario, these can be connected in parallel with paralleling switchgear to achieve maximum output during peak requirement or the desired minimal output during other times."

Allowing the controller to cache write data in its local RAM improves write speed, however it exposes you to a risk of having the OS think data has been written to disk (because the controller has it) and having power fail before the controller completes that write. The battery back-up allows the data in the cache to survive until the machine is powered on again, mitigating that risk. As far as benefit if your system is already on a UPS, what happens if you exceed your UPS runtime (possible even with a smart UPS), or if the server's power supplies blow up? Or if someone accidentally yanks the power cords out?"

"text": "\"In today's electrical system environments, power disruptions are very common. These disruptions can be due to various reasons like fault in the distribution system, operations of the nearby equipments, lightning strikes, normal utility operations, etc. In order to eliminate and reduce the loss of precious time and resources, it is necessary to provide a proper level of power supply and power protection. But there are some issues associated with power supply like the matters relating power smoothing, preventing sudden surges or drops in supply, and the supply itself. Blackouts and power dips can cause the computers to shut down suddenly, losing any unsaved data that is only stored in temporary memory or RAM. Sometimes sudden surges or drops in supply can also cause physical damage to computer components. An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) can be an answer to this. These devices are designed to provide continuous power to a load, even with an interruption or loss of utility supply power. A UPS (uninterruptible power supply) is used to protect against sudden loss of power. It's somewhat of a misnomer, as it doesn't itself provide power - it is essentially a large battery that charges itself from the power main."

"text": "The full article Providing Non-Stop Power for Critical Electrical Loads Introduction In a society that is ever more dependent on things electrical, failure of supply can be much more than the inconvenience that was occasionally visited on our parents and grandparents. Loss of electric power now means interruption of some vital digital communications networks, advanced medical therapies, financial transactions such as credit cards and bank operations, vital transport such as elevator service, refrigeration of sensitive biological experiments and other essential services. The vital aspect of such functionality creates a demand for non-stop electric power. Choosing Backup Power Systems The phrase “non-stop” in this discussion is meant to describe those loads that cannot endure even a brief loss of power. At the upper limit of these are those that depend on microprocessors. In these digital devices even a brief interruption causes reset of digital processes and loss of all data not already recorded in nonvolatile memory — a class of memory devices that can retain data through an electric power outage. There are a number of devices that fit this category, and they can be inherently nonvolatile (no power needed) or they can be supported by internal batteries. When a power interruption resets a microprocessor and data is lost, the affected system must re-boot at such time as power supply is restored. Anyone who has waited for their desktop computer to perform that task in the morning should appreciate what could happen if a very large and complex system was involved. There are many ways to provide auxiliary power for times when the public supply goes down."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Supermicro SBI-7228R-T2X blade server, containing two dual-CPU server nodes A blade server is a stripped-down server computer with a modular design optimized to minimize the use of physical space and energy. Blade servers have many components removed to save space, minimize power consumption and other considerations, while still having all the functional components to be considered a computer. [ 1] Unlike a rack-mount server, a blade server needs a blade enclosure, which can hold multiple blade servers, providing services such as power, cooling, networking, various interconnects and management. Together, blades and the blade enclosure, form a blade system. Different blade providers have differing principles regarding what to include in the blade itself, and in the blade system as a whole. In a standard server-rack configuration, one rack unit or 1U —19 inches (480 mm) wide and 1.75 inches (44 mm) tall—defines the minimum possible size of any equipment. The principal benefit and justification of blade computing relates to lifting this restriction so as to reduce size requirements. The most common computer rack form-factor is 42U high, which limits the number of discrete computer devices directly mountable in a rack to 42 components. Blades do not have this limitation. As of 2014, densities of up to 180 servers per blade system (or 1440 servers per rack) are achievable with blade systems. ["

"text": "A UPS (uninterruptible power supply) sits between an alternative source of power – such as a standby diesel generator – and protected loads. Most UPS are designed to power connected loads continuously via their inverter, which also enables conditioning of mains supply voltage and insurance of a break-free supply of electrical energy in the even of a mains failure. In most applications, UPS are considered critical to business continuity without which loads would not be able to operate during a power outage. For this reason, load bank testing is implemented to ensure UPS can meet the requirements of their intended function when most needed. Load bank testing is a way of validating the correct operational performance and battery autonomy of the UPS system. It tests the UPS and generator under load conditions. It is most often carried out during preventative maintenance. As a UPS battery set is only as strong as its weakest battery cell, load bank testing can also be used to ascertain the condition of UPS batteries and battery sets (or ‘strings’ as they are also known) to indicate if any individual cells are approaching the end of their working life and not holding a charge or about to fail. This enables them to be replaced in advance of critical application. Load bank testing is offered as a service by suppliers of power protection equipment, such as Uninterruptible Power Supplies Limited."

The primary function of a power supply is to convert electric current from a source to the correct voltage, current, and frequency to power the load. As a result, power supplies are sometimes referred to as electric power converters. Some power supplies are separate standalone pieces of equipment, while others are built into the load appliances that they power. Examples of the latter include power supplies found in desktop computers and consumer electronics devices. Other functions that power supplies may perform include limiting the current drawn by the load to safe levels, shutting off the current in the event of an electrical fault, power conditioning to prevent electronic noise or voltage surges on the input from reaching the load, power-factor correction, and storing energy so it can continue to power the load in the event of a temporary interruption in the source power ( uninterruptible power supply ). All power supplies have a power input connection, which receives energy in the form of electric current from a source, and one or more power output connections that deliver current to the load. The source power may come from the electric power grid, such as an electrical outlet, energy storage devices such as batteries or fuel cells, generators or alternators, solar power converters, or another power supply. The input and output are usually hardwired circuit connections, though some power supplies employ wireless energy transfer to power their loads without wired connections. Some power supplies have other types of inputs and outputs as well, for functions such as external monitoring and control."

"text": "\"Live Science Planet Earth Facts About Fracking By Marc Lallanilla, Assistant Editor | February 9, 2018 08:37pm ETMOREHydraulic fracturing, commonly called fracking, is a drilling technique used for extracting oil or natural gas from deep underground. Fracking is a hotly debated environmental and political issue. Advocates insist it is a safe and economical source of clean energy; critics, however, claim fracking can destroy drinking water supplies, pollute the air, contribute to the greenhouse gases that cause global warming, and trigger earthquakes. How fracking works Most fracking wells in use today rely on two technologies: hydraulic fracturing, which has been in use since the 1940s, and horizontal drilling, a technique that first became widespread in the 1990s, according to Columbia University's Earth Institute. In simplified terms, the fracking process starts with a well that is drilled vertically or at an angle from the surface to a depth of 1 to 2 miles (1.6 to 3.2 kilometers) or more, according to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The vertical well is then encased in steel and/or cement to ensure the well doesn't run the risk of leaking into any groundwater. Once the vertical well reaches the deep layer of rock where natural gas or oil exists, the well curves about 90 degrees and begins drilling horizontally along that rock layer. Horizontal drilling can extend more than 1 mile (1.6 km) from the vertical well bore, according to Texas A&M University's publication \"\" Hydraulic Fracturing and your Private Water Well . \"\" After the fracking well is fully drilled and encased, fracking fluid is pumped down into the well at extremely high pressure, in some cases exceeding 9,000 pounds per square inch (62,050 kilopascals), according to a primer from Cornell University's environmental quality engineering course. The pressure is powerful enough to fracture the surrounding rock, creating fissures and cracks through which oil and gas can flow."

"text": "How an Uninterruptible Power Supply Works An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is a device connected between the power source and a computer to ensure that electrical flow is not interrupted. UPS devices use batteries to keep the computer running for a period of time after a power failure. It is not to be confused with standby generators which do not provide protection from a momentary power interruption, or which may result in a momentary power interruption when it is switched into service, whether manually or automatically. UPS devices usually provide protection against power surges, brownouts and line noise as well. The UPS consists of three main components: Rectifier: Stores line power in the battery after converting the AC power into DC power. Power disruptions only affect the battery charging process because the battery is being charged by the rectifier. Battery: Stores the power for use when the power source is interrupted, and determines the length of time the UPS will support your equipment. Inverter: Converts the battery DC power into AC power for the equipment. The inverter supplies continuous power to the computer just as the battery provides uninterrupted power to the inverter. The performance of an UPS is specified in terms of VA."

Typically UPS power keeps a personal computer (PC) running for several minutes after a power outage, enabling you to save data that is in memory and shut down the computer gracefully. Many uninterruptible power supplies now offer a software component that enables you to automate backup and shut down procedures in case there's a power failure while you're away from the computer. An uninterruptible power supply system generally offers multiple outlets, allowing you to maintain battery back-up power to more than one device and will also include additional outlets for surge protection. Types of UPSThere are two basic types of UPS systems: the standby power system (SPS) and on-line UPS system. The standby UPS is the most common type of UPS used for desktop computers and other individual electronic devices. The line interactive UPS is more commonly used in small business and server situations. Standby Power System (SPS)The standby power system monitors the power line and switches to battery power as soon as it detects a problem. The switch to battery, however, can require several milliseconds, during which time the computer is not receiving any power.

This device is located on the high-pressure side of the pump and usually has a large spring or black plastic handle or adjustable nut on it. The function of the unloader is to relieve excess pressure before your pump blows up. While that sounds dramatic, think about your system for a moment. You have lots of horsepower driving a pump that is creating three to four thousand PSI of pressure. When the gun is open, the water flows and it does its work. When you close the trigger gun, where does all that pressure go? The unloader is the automatic valve that opens and allows the water to move within the system even when the gun is closed. Depending on the design of the unloader valve, it will sense either the build-up of pressure or the lack of water flow. When the valve opens, the water is allowed to move to the low-pressure side of the pump."

Hot water builds up when the spray gun is unused for more than 5 minutes while the pump is running. The unloader valve recirculates water back to the pump inlet to control the pressure and temperature. If the water gets too hot, the thermal relief valve opens to relieve the pressure by dumping hot water on the ground.

Today's washers and dryers are sleek and surprisingly tech-savvy while producing clean laundry more effortlessly and efficiently than ever before. If you're purchasing for the first time or upgrading to a newer model, review our hints and tips to choose the features, size, and type of a washer and dryer that is best for you. Washer Types Washer Features Dryer Types Dryer Features Laundry Load Laundry Layout Types of Washing Machines Washing machines help us minimize fuss and time spent doing laundry. It's important to think about the size and setup of your laundry space as well as the capacity of your laundry loads. With some planning and thought, you can have a washer that will meet your needs for years to come. Traditional Top-load Washer Top-loading washers were the only choice for a long time and tend to be the least expensive option. They're a little tougher on clothes because of the central agitator that spins your clothes. They have quicker wash cycles, but will need more drying time due to slower spin cycles. Top-loaders are easier to use because they require less bending over, which is a consideration for those with limited mobility."

"text": "\"Construction Brick Cleaning and Pressure Washing As a surface exposed to the exterior, brick walls are vulnerable to outside elements including sun, rain, snow, mold, mildew, algae, smoke, bird droppings, sand and dust. If these are left to sit on the surface over long periods of time they will not only make such structures old and unsightly, but they will also cause material erosion. The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to remove such debris. Pressure washers are used to eliminate water stains, salt spots, mold, mildew, dirt, wasp nests, and debris left after construction (construction cleaning). Often times when brick and concrete are involved, the rules change. Brick companies tell you to use low pressure when washing brick. They state around 500-1000 PSI should be sufficient enough and they also insist to never go over 1500 PSI. If you just blast the brick wall with 5000 PSI you will scar up the bricks and cause a lot of damage. This is the major reason why brick cleaning jobs should be left to professionals. Home builders are very familiar with how important it is to properly conduct post construction cleaning."

"text": "\"View Article library »How Much Does It Cost To Pressure Wash a House? Share: Pressure washing your driveway, deck, or other exterior area of your home can be an effective way to clear away accumulated dirt and debris. A good pressure washing can return your home to a \"\"looks like new\"\" state quickly and is also beneficial if you plan to repaint or stain the area. Typical Pressure Washing Costs: You can buy a basic pressure washer for anywhere from $75 to $500, which may be cost-effective if you intend to use the pressure washer frequently. Otherwise, you may be better off simply renting one for a short period, which can run from $40-$75 per day. A professional power washing job can run from $200-$500 or more, depending on the size of your house and the amount of work needed to clean it properly. Pressure washing jobs are generally quoted per square foot of area to be cleaned. Estimate for Do-It-Yourself Pressure Washing: Doing it yourself could run from $75-$500 if you buy or rent a pressure washer. Estimate for Professional Pressure Washing: Hiring a professional could cost from $200-$500, depending on the size of your house.

"text": "\"How To Replace a Pressure Washer Pump A pressure washer is a simple power tool that utilizes a motor/engine to run a pump that packs together water at high pressure delivering it through a wand and spray gun. One of the most important components therefore in a pressure washer is the pump, which depending on its type, price of the pressure washer and its build quality, usually wears out. Commercial grade pressure washers tend to require a replacement every one year while a semi-pro or professional model usually lasts two years or more. One of the first things you need to find out before replacing a pump is what type it is. Type Of Pumps There are basically two kinds of pumps. One is called the axial pump and the other is a triplex pump. If your pressure washer is using a wobble or axial pump then you really can’t do much about the pump. The moment it goes bad, you need to replace it. There is no chance of repairing the pump. On the other hand, a triplex pump can be repaired easily."

"text": "\"Power washing can be done on almost any surface and is a great way to keep things like your driveway, siding, decks and patios looking almost brand new on a yearly basis. However, it's a common misconception that power washing yields the same result as pressure washing or vice versa. Before you consider spending between $183 and $379 on either, be sure you know the difference between the two and how they apply to common areas of the home.

If you do the wrong one, you could end up damaging your siding, deck, patio or driveway. Here are a couple differences: Temperature: Power washing is hot water, which allows it to get rid of stains and particularly difficult items like dirt, grime, mold, fungus and so on. Force of the water: Pressure washing uses the high velocity to get off dirt, dust and other items from houses, siding, decks, patio and driveways. It is especially common for masonry, because concrete, cinder block and brick tends to build up dust, dirt and grime and will need regular cleaning every year. Return to Top Pressure Washing Costs & Considerations Pressure washers can be bought or rented and used to clean just about anything outside. They work by pressurizing water from a garden hose to 1,000 lbs."

"text": "How to Clean Stained Siding with a Pressure Washer When you use a pressure washer on stained siding, your goals are simple: Take away accumulated dirt and old stain, and get the wood’s pores to open. If you hope to re-stain wood trim and siding, and the undersides of roof overhangs, pressure washing is the first step. Any wood siding can withstand pressure washing provided you use the appropriate techniques. The nature of the previous stain and the one you wish to apply will influence how you go about pressure washing wood siding. Things to Keep in Mind Pressure washers can be hazardous in the hands of the unskilled. Though you’re more likely to harm your siding than another person, it’s vital to follow procedures clearly. You’ll want a pressure level of 2000 psi or more, and an output of between 3 and 4 gallons per minute. In other words, your washer should pack a punch. Matching the right nozzle to each part of the job is important. A nozzle that creates a 40-degree fan reduces the chance that you’ll damage the house."

April 21, 2013 by Brent Holtzer Leave a Comment0Investigate pressure washers and you’ll quickly find yourself encountering acronyms like PSI, GPM, CP, HP, and more. It’s easy to spell out what the letters stand for – pounds per square inch, gallons per minute, cleansing power, horsepower, etc. But what do they mean in practice? What do you need to know about them to evaluate which pressure washer is best for you? Fortunately, you don’t need a degree in engineering to understand the answers to those questions. PSI – Pounds Per Square Inch Despite their many similarities pressure washers differ, unsurprisingly, in one key area: the pressure they provide. Engine size, hose length, nozzle options, and more contribute to their overall value but the ‘oomph’ is the main thing."

The pump is responsible for dispersing the water at a steady rate and pressure. When the pump fails, the washer does not function properly. Rather than replacing the entire machine or hiring a professional, owners can repair the pump themselves. Repairing a Craftsman pressure washer pump involves disassembling the pump, cleaning its components, and replacing any broken, worn out, or corroded parts. Remove the Housing After removing the pump from the Craftsman pressure washer, place it on a clean, dry surface. Locate the four bolts on the side of the housing and use a wrench to remove them. Start by removing two bolts that are diagonally across from each other. There are springs below the housing that push it up as the bolts loosen. Loosen the last two bolts at even intervals."

The Effectiveness of a Pressure Washer Sandblaster Adding a sandblasting attachment to a pressure washer can be very effective. However, how well wet sandblasting works also depends on the application that you are using it for. For instance, if you have a pressure washer capable of pumping out 4 GPM at 3,000 PSI, your unit will use 250 pounds of abrasive if used continuously for an hour. It has about half the effectiveness of a commercial sandblaster. However, sandblasting with a pressure washer is ideal in small building jobs where you already have a unit available. Environmental jobs may require you to wet sandblast."

Usually, the X and Y axes are used when talking about length and width, and the Z is used for height. However, in Minecraft, the X and Z axes represent length and width, and Y represents height. As X or Z increase or decease, you are moving farther away from 0, 0, or the \"\"center\"\" of your Minecraft world. Traveling south-east will increase your X and Z coordinates, and traveling north-west will decrease your X and Z coordinates. On the Y axis, 0 is the very bottom of the map, and 256 is the top of the map (or 128 in the Nether). Sea level is at 64 on the Y axis. If, for example, your coordinates read X: 300, Y: 65, Z: -200, you would be 300 blocks east and 200 blocks north of your 0, 0 block, and at an altitude of 65 blocks.share improve this answeredited Oct 30 '12 at 8:36Community ♦1answered Jul 3 '11 at 3:44Kevin Yap30.9k 14 132 179where does it tell you your coordinates though – Rock Lee Jul 3 '11 at 4:093When you hit F3."

"text": "\"Measurement FAQHow do one estimate color of an object by just looking at their reflectance data? What is the relationship? ( answer)I am confused by the range value of the Y-tristimulus value. For emissive things, like screens, it is supposed to be the absolute luminance in foot-lamberts (so the range could be 0 to infinity in theory). If want to compare two colors (via delta E - which delta E is the 'standard' nowadays), one from a emissive source and one from a reflective source, can I? It seems like a reflectance number couldn't quite compare to a direct luminance measure, but then how can I compare these two things in a color space? ( answer)Can you explain the science behind gloss levels on the paintwork of a car. I own an auto reconditioning business and I know using different techniques I try to achieve maximum gloss, even at a microscopic level. Let's say you have the spiderwebbing swirls in your clear coat. Scientifically , what is happening to the light when it hits the swirls as opposed to hitting perfect paint?"

These include both affine transformations (such as translation) and projective transformations. For this reason, 4×4 transformation matrices are widely used in 3D computer graphics.

"text": "\"Brian Bi, software engineer at Google Answered May 18, 2016 · Author has 3.6k answers and 29.3m answer views There are a few different ways to understand tensors, and my opinion is that tensors don’t become truly intuitive until you see how they all fit together. I will explain here the “ geometric ” point of view, which I think is easiest to absorb if you don’t know what a tensor is at all. The one-sentence version is that a tensor of order [math]r [/math] results from associating a coordinate with every ordered [math]r [/math] -tuple of coordinate axes. ( Therefore, a vector is a tensor of order 1: it has one coordinate per coordinate axis. ) As I assume you know, in three dimensions, a vector has three components, and the vector itself can be thought of as a combination of the basis vectors along the coordinate axes, weighted by the components: that is, when we write [math]\\vec {v} = (3, 5, 7) [/math], this is a shorthand for [math]\\vec {v} = 3\\hat {x} + 5\\hat {y} + 7\\hat {z} [/math]. Each coordinate is associated with a corresponding unit basis vector parallel to a coordinate axis. To generalize to higher-order tensors, we can start by pairing up the unit basis vectors and associating components with ordered pairs. There are nine such pairs: xx, xy, xz, yx, yy, yz, zx, zy, zz, so a tensor of order 2 would have nine components. These components would represent coefficients for a linear combination of nine unit basis tensors. That is, a second order tensor would have the form [math]\\begin {align} T =& T_ {xx} \\hat {x}\\hat {x} + T_ {xy} \\hat {x} \\hat {y} + T_ {xz} \\hat {x}\\hat {z} + \\\\ & T_ {yx} \\hat {y} \\hat {x} + T_ {yy} \\hat {y} \\hat {y} + T_ {yz} \\hat {y}\\hat {z} + \\\\ & T_ {zx} \\hat {z} \\hat {x} + T_ {zy} \\hat {z} \\hat {y} + T_ {zz} \\hat {z}\\hat {z} \\end {align} [/math]You might wonder what I mean by [math]\\hat {x}\\hat {x} [/math] and similar constructions.

"text": "\"LINEAR FUNCTIONSIt is necessary to recall how to graph an equation in two variables such as 2x + 3y = 27. Begin by choosing a pair lines (called axes) which intersect at right angles and call this point of intersection the origin. The horizontal axis is called the x-axis and the vertical axis is called the y-axis. Hence, the plane is divided into four regions called quadrants and each quadrant is named using a roman numeral beginning in the upper right-hand region and continuing in a counterclockwise direction. The solution set of an open sentence in two variables is the set of ordered pairs (x,y) for which the sentence is true. The sentence 2x + 3y = 27 may be transformed into an equivalent expression. Hence, the equation has been solved for y in terms of x. Next, arbitrary values of x may be chosen, substituted into the equation, and find the corresponding value of y.x 9 - (2/3)x y0 9 - (2/3)0 91 9 - (2/3)1 25/33 9 - (2/3)3 79 9 - (2/3)9 3-3 9 - (2/3) (-3) 11-6 9 - (2/3) (-6) 13It follows that the points (0,9), (1,25/3), (3,7), (9,3), (-3,11), (-6,13) satisfy the equation 2x + 3y = 27. Indeed, there are infinitely many solutions of { (x,y) | 2x + 3y = 27}. Begin plotting the points on the coordinate system. The first coordinate is the x-coordinate and the second coordinate is the y-coordinate (also known as abscissa and ordinate, respectively). Although only two points are required to graph a line, it is good practice to choose a third point as a \"\"test\"\" point."

The four most commonly used feature classes in the geodatabase are points, lines, polygons, and annotation (the geodatabase name for map text). In the illustration below, these are used to represent four datasets for the same area: (1) manhole cover locations as points, (2) sewer lines, (3) parcel polygons, and (4) street name annotation. In this diagram, you might also have noted the potential requirement to model some advanced feature properties. For example, the sewer lines and manhole locations make up a storm sewer network, a system with which you can model runoff and flows. Also, note how adjacent parcels share common boundaries. Most parcel users want to maintain the integrity of shared feature boundaries in their datasets using a topology. As mentioned earlier, often users have the need to model such spatial relationships and behaviors in their geographic datasets. In these cases, users will extend these basic feature classes by adding a number of advanced geodatabase elements, such as topologies, network datasets, terrains, and address locators. You can learn more about adding such advanced behaviors to your geodatabases in Extending feature classes."

Psykinematix offers the possibility of creating a large variety of basic visual stimuli: Shape Stimuli Grating Stimuli Checkerboard Stimuli Custom Stimuli To create a Visual Stimulus, create a new single event in the \"\"Experiment Designer\"\" window, set its kind to \"\"Visual Stimulus\"\", and display its properties by clicking on the \"\"Info\"\" icon (or press Apple-I). Once a stimulus has been selected, changing it by clicking on other tabs is disabled unless the Control key is pressed simultaneously.

For Stereo or Anaglyph rendering (see Rendering Modes in Defaults Preferences ), the x coordinate can take the following forms to specify whether it applies to the left or right display, to both displays or whether it also specifies a disparity value (always expressed in arcmin, positive for cross-disparity or 'in front' presentation, negative for uncrossed disparity or 'behind' presentation):<expression> x coordinate to apply to both left and right displays (binocular presentation on horopter or at zero disparity);D = <disparity> the disparity to apply (with x = 0 by default);<expression>; D = <disparity> x coordinate along the disparity it is applied on;L = <expression> x coordinate to apply to the left display only (for monocular or dichoptic presentation);R = <expression> x coordinate to apply to the right display only (for monocular or dichoptic presentation).

Introduction We use inequalities when there is a range of possible answers for a situation. “ I have to be there in less than 5 minutes,” “This team needs to score at least a goal to have a chance of winning,” and “To get into the city and back home again, I need at least $6.50 for train fare” are all examples of situations where a limit is specified, but a range of possibilities exist beyond that limit. That’s what we are interested in when we study inequalities—possibilities. We can explore the possibilities of an inequality using a number line. This is sufficient in simple situations, such as inequalities with just one variable. But in more complicated circumstances, like those with two variables, it’s more useful to add another dimension, and use a coordinate plane. In these cases, we use linear inequalities —inequalities that can be written in the form of a linear equation. One Variable Inequalities Inequalities with one variable can be plotted on a number line, as in the case of the inequality x ≥ -2: Here is another representation of the same inequality x ≥ -2, this time plotted on a coordinate plane: On this graph, we first plotted the line x = -2, and then shaded in the entire region to the right of the line."

There are several ways to solve a system of equations like this one, but we will focus on using substitution. This is similar to the substitution we did in an earlier lesson, but will involve two steps. For the first step we need to solve one equation for one variable in terms of the other variable. There will be four different ways to do this depending on which equation and variable you choose; go whichever route is the easiest. Two of the possibilities are given above, and we will choose. Since this was derived from the first equation, we will substitute this into the second equation. We do this by replacing the in with, to get: We now have a linear equation in one variable, which we know how to solve: Now we have solved the value of x, and we can find y by substituting x=5 into either of the original equations.

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.

Due to the complexities of SLE, there are many blood tests that need to be regularly run just to keep track of where, how, and how badly the disease is affecting your body. Lupus can go into any part or organ of the human body, making it impossible to predict, but with the use of proper and continual testing, our specialists can keep track of lupus and manage it properly.http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/healthlibrary/conditions/adult/arthritis_and_other_rheumatic_diseases/systemic_lupus_erythematosus_lupus_85Lupus is difficult to diagnose because of the vagueness of the symptoms each person might have. There is no single test that can diagnose lupus. A diagnosis is usually confirmed based on a complete medical history, reported symptoms, and a physical examination that may include the following: Blood test (to detect for certain antibodies that are present in most people with lupus)Blood and urine tests (to assess kidney function)Complement test (to measure the level of complement, a group of proteins in the blood that help destroy foreign substances; low levels of complement in the blood are often associated with lupus)X-rays - a diagnostic test which uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs onto film. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (also called ESR or sed rate) - a measurement of how quickly red blood cells fall to the bottom of a test tube. When swelling and inflammation are present, the blood's proteins clump together and become heavier than normal. Thus, when measured, they fall and settle faster at the bottom of the test tube."

I have such a vast history of test (some not related to MS or finding MS). At the beginning of this whole mess, I had an MRI, ordered by my GP without contrast. That radiologist reported I had 4-5 lesions in my brain but they were in atypical places for MS. These lesions were not present back in 1998 & 1999, when I had an MRI done due to waking up with slurred speech, weakness, etc.. The doctors in 1998 believed that I had a focal seizure due to an abnormal EEG. The radiologist in my first MRI that my current GP ordered said on the MRI report that he believed it could be early demyelinating disease. At the beginning of May, when I was put in the hospital due to blood clots an internist spoke with me about other test that I had. He also said that he saw early demyelinating in my brain on my MRI and said I needed to see a neurologist. They also found a \"\"nodular growth\"\" on my lung during a CT scan and they wanted me to be evaluated by a pulmonologist.

By itself, a positive ANA test does not indicate the presence of an autoimmune disease or the need for therapy. Some medications cause a positive ANA. Tell your doctor all prescription, over-the-counter, and street drugs you take. ANA testing can produce a positive result without any actual disease process. This typically signals the presence of antinuclear antibodies in a healthy individual. Talk to your doctor about a positive ANA and best next steps for further evaluation. The immune system makes an abundance of proteins called antibodies. Antibodies are made by white blood cells (B cells)."

"text": "What does a positive antinuclear antibody mean? By Sheetal Gavankar, M. D. Categories: General Health, Women's Health Very often I have patients who come in to my office concerned that they have an autoimmune condition such as lupus because they were found to have a positive antinuclear antibody (ANA) on laboratory testing. As a rheumatologist, it’s my job to find out if that positive ANA has any clinical significance. As a patient, it is key to understand what exactly an ANA means. So let’s break it down. Antibodies are proteins that are made in large amounts by the immune system. They are essential in recognizing and fighting infectious organisms in the body. Sometimes these antibodies make an error and mistakenly recognize normal proteins in our bodies as being foreign. Antinuclear antibodies are autoantibodies -- antibodies that target the normal proteins within the nucleus of a cell. This becomes clinically significant when ANAs signal the body to begin targeting itself, which can lead to autoimmune diseases, including lupus, Sjogren’s syndrome, and mixed connective tissue disease."

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."

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.

May 31, 2016177249 Views 46 comments This page is available in: English It’s may not be something you talk about every day. But asking some important questions about menstruation can give you some insight into your reproductive health. How Long Should a Normal Period be? When it comes to the frequency, length and flow of your monthly visitor, a general rule of thumb is that normal periods are defined as what’s normal for you. But being knowledgeable about your menstrual cycle can help you identify when normal goes awry. You get your period when your uterus sheds its lining. Part of your menstrual flow is blood and part of it is that lining called endometrium. Most women get their period about 12 to 16 days after ovulation."

"title": "http://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/beauty-hair/advice/a48958/hair-loss-reasons/\nThis is why your hair is falling out (AND how to stop it)",
"text": "\"By Victoria Jowett Jan 19, 2018Getty Images Hair shedding is a part of every day life, yes it clogs up your shower drain, and yes, it means you have to vacuum every other day or your carpet turns into a hairy rug... But the fact is, hair loss is totally normal. On average we lose around 80 strands a day, if you begin to shed significantly more than that or you notice they aren't growing back, well, that's when things start to get a bit hairy (soz, I couldn't help it). The thing is, when it comes to hair loss there are so many potential triggers, which means it can be tricky to pinpoint the exact reason why your strands are falling out, and henceforth, how to remedy the situation. We spoke to Anabel Kingsley, a leading Trichologist at the Philip Kingsley Clinic in London, to help break down the possible reasons why you're losing hair. First things first, Anabel explained that hair loss is a very common problem for women – much more so that people realise. \"\" Research shows that at least 1 in 3 women will suffer from hair loss or reduced hair volume at some point in their lifetime\"\". So if you are losing strands, it's important not to freak out, your mane will recover. In the meantime, here's everything you need to know...\"\"Research shows that at least 1 in 3 women will suffer from hair loss or reduced hair volume\"\"Firstly, there are different types of hair loss, genetic and reactive... Genetic: There's a chance you're genetically predisposed to hair thinning, which means you may see a progressive, gradual reduction in hair volume. \"\" In these instances, certain hair follicles are sensitive to male hormones – and this sensitivity causes follicles to gradually shrink and produce slightly finer and shorter hairs with each passing hair growth cycle.\"\" Explains Anabel."

Flag Difference between anaerobic and Aerobic respiration with horse? Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. Aerobic respiration is a process of cellular respiration that uses the oxygen in order to break down the molecules, which then release electrons and creating energy. Anaerobic respiration does not need the oxygen. It happens when there is not enough oxygen for aerobic respiration. Basicly it is the same with horses and humans, and what it means is that for example cross country horses are not galloping at the top speed between the fences because they would not have enough energy after first two or three fences due to lack of oxygen in their bodies. Therefore they use all the energy on jumping over the fences and then they have steady canter to gain the energy they have lost for the next fences. Hope it gives you the basic idea of what is happening in each of above processes.1 person found this useful Was this answer useful?

"text": "\"Chapter 6. Cellular Respiration BI 101 Davison Fall 200 8Respiration is about breathing, yes, but physiologically why do you need to breathe? The answer lies in an understanding of the role of the respiratory gases CO 2 and O 2. Each organism “breathes” that is exchanges those respiratory gases with its environment. For terrestrial animals the exchange occurs between some body organ (lungs-humans; skin-earthworms) and the atmosphere. For some aquatic animals the exchange occurs between an aquatic environment and the body surface. For example, all parts of a jellyfish’s exposed body takes in O 2 and releases CO 2 . For other aquatic animals (e.g. bony fish such as bass) specialized body surfaces called gills are the sites of gas exchange. Gills with their greater efficiency in exchanging respiratory gases are required in order to meet the metabolic needs of the fish whereas in jellyfish no specialized respiratory organ is needed to meet the needs of the lowly jellyfish. As you learn the chemistry of cellular respiration, keep in mind these questions: “Why do we need O 2 or what happens to the O 2 once it enters your body?”"

Aerobic respiration and photosynthesis may be opposites in many ways, but there are some striking similarities. In a way, they are equal and opposite. They both have electron transport chains that help in making a chemiosmotic gradient of protons. These gradients are the driving forces in the phosphorylation of ADP to ATP at the ATP synthase. Both pathways also require an input of energy (light for photosynthesis and the stored energy in the macromolecule for aerobic respiration).

"text": "Cellular Respiration Written by tutor Rachel L. Just like we need energy to get through the day, individual cells need energy for survival too. Cellular respiration is the process by which cells get their energy in the form of ATP. There are two types of cellular respiration, aerobic and anaerobic. Aerobic respiration is more efficient and can be utilized in the presence of oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen. Many organisms (or cells) will use aerobic respiration primarily, however, if there is a limited oxygen supply they can utilize anaerobic respiration for survival. Although there are some organisms (or cells) that always require anaerobic respiration and others that will always require aerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration has fewer steps, so let’s start there. Anaerobic Respiration The first step in both anaerobic and aerobic respiration is called glycolysis. This is the process of taking one glucose (sugar) molecule and breaking it down into pyruvate and energy (2 ATP). We will discuss this in depth during aerobic respiration."

This process is commonly used to our advantage in the production of beer and ales where barley, hops and other grains are fermented to produce alcohol, a natural by-product of anaerobic respiration in plants. Plant respiration, anaerobic or otherwise, begins with photosynthesis in the leaves. Photosynthesis Respiration in plants begins with photosynthesis. Plant cells contain organelles known as chloroplasts. Inside the chloroplasts is the substance called chlorophyll, which is what gives plants their green color. Plants absorb water through the root system and take in carbon dioxide through tiny openings in the leaves called stomata. Using the sun's energy and the chlorophyll, the plant converts the water and carbon dioxide into glucose and starches. The by-product of this is oxygen, most of which is released back into the air. Definition of Respiration Respiration in plants is a chemical process that breaks down glucose provided by photosynthesis to provide energy for the plant's cells."

Follow 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Anaerobic respiration (anaerobiosis) refers to the oxidation of molecules in the absence of oxygen to produce energy, in opposition to aerobic respiration which does use oxygen. Anaerobic respiration processes require another electron acceptor to replace oxygen. Anaerobic respiration is often used interchangeably with fermentation, especially when the glycolytic pathway is used for energy production in the cell. They are not synonymous terms, however, since certain anaerobic prokaryotes can generate all of their ATP using an electron transport system and ATP synthase. Definition of anaerobic respiration: the breakdown of food substances in the absence of oxygen with a small amount of energy. So basically it can occur any where with oxygen deficiency.

While oxygen-based pathways are the respiratory method of choice because of their greater efficiency, there are many instances in which anaerobic respiration has a useful function, or even an advantage. Respiration Respiration, not to be confused with breathing, is any process by which a cell releases energy from the chemical bonds of complex molecules, such as glucose. There are many chemical pathways by which respiration occurs. Some of these pathways require oxygen and are called aerobic respiration. Pathways that do not require oxygen are called anaerobic respiration. Glycolysis Aerobic and anaerobic respiration both begin with glycolysis, the first stage in the breakdown of glucose.

Answer by The Critizier Confidence votes 10In plant and animal cells, it is a process in which energy is released from food molecules such as glucose without requiring oxygen. Some aerobic plants and animals are able to use anaerobic respiration for short periods of time. For example, during a sprint, human muscles can respire anaerobically. Unfortunately, lactic acid is produced and accumulates until the muscles cannot continue working. Anaerobic respiration in humans is less efficient than aerobic respiration at releasing energy, but releases energy faster. This explains why humans can run faster in a sprint than over longer distances. When humans stop after a sprint, they have to continue breathing more heavily for a while. This is to take in extra oxygen in order to break down the accumulated lactic acid on top of the normal breakdown of sugar in aerobic respiration."

The bears were amazing..we stayed overnight at Brooks Lodge; definitly a splurge, but worth the price. The salmon were just beginning to run there. There were fewer people and fewer bears, but the bears that were fishing had to have some skill to be successful. The ranger told us that we had picked the perfect time to visit."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Other - Science How fast can a whale swim? Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Whales swim at different speeds depending on what they are doing. They swim faster when they are in danger than when they are not. They swim faster at the surface than in a deep dive and they swim pretty fast when they leap out of the water. Dolphins moving through the water alongside a boat have attained speeds of 39km/hour (21 knots) over short distances. Migrating whales have been recorded travelling distances of over 3,700km (2,000 nautical miles) at an average continuous speed of 17km/hour (9 knots). These speeds are probably unusual, and prolonged cruising speeds are probably between 9 & 17km/hour (5-9 knots) for dolphins and between 4 & 30km/hour (2-16 knots) for the fast moving rorquals.

Among the Assyrians the concubine ( esirtu) gained the rank of wife only after the veiling ceremony conducted by her spouse, if he so chose to elevate her (Assyrian Code A, 41). The legal formalities, if any, are not described in the Bible. A concubine did not always reside in her husband's home (Judg. 8:31), but such was not the general rule (Judg. 19–20). Her spouse was called the son-inlaw ( ḥatan) of her father, who was the father-in-law ( ḥoten ). Therefore, the concubinage relationship could partake of many aspects of regular marriage.

The term usually refers to a territory roughly corresponding to the modern State of Israel, the Palestinian territories, western Jordan, and parts of southern Lebanon and southwestern Syria. It is considered holy by Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Part of the significance of the land stems from the religious significance of Jerusalem, the holiest city to Judaism, the historical region of Jesus' ministry, and the site of the Isra and Mi'raj event in Islam. The holiness of the land to Christianity was part of the motivation for the Crusades, as European Christians sought to win back the Holy Land from the Muslims, who had conquered it from the Christian Byzantine Empire. Many sites in the Holy Land have long been pilgrimage destinations for adherents of the Abrahamic religions, including Jews, Christians, Muslims, and Bahá'ís.

Mehr Breast cancer was one of the first disorders to profit from the successful application of targeted therapy, and its treatment has changed dramatically from 20 years ago. Despite these advances, breast cancer is responsible for 14% of cancer deaths among women, second only to lung cancer. 1 The death rate has decreased since 1990; however, it is projected that about 40,000 will die in 2012 due to the disease (approximately 39,500 women and 400 men), 1 with the most deaths occurring among African Americans, followed by Caucasians ( Table 1 ). 2 The overall 5-year survival for 2002 to 2008 was 89%, with the longest survival rate in patients having localized disease (98%) and a much lower survival for those with metastasized disease (24%). 2 An estimated 227,000 new cases will be diagnosed in 2012, and it is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women. The incidence of breast cancer had declined by the year 2000 and has since remained stabilized. 1 The highest incidence is seen in Caucasians, followed by African Americans. 2 Breast cancer remains a cancer that is most often diagnosed in older women; about onefourth of the cases will be diagnosed in women between the ages of 55 and 64 years, followed closely by women between the ages of 65 and 74 years. 2 Factors responsible for the reduction in deaths are reduced utilization of hormone replacement therapy for menopausal women, earlier tumor detection, and improved therapies."

As a note, The Endocrine Society currently does not recommend for or against the use of anastrozole. Some physicians do prescribe it to mitigate symptoms of high estradiol levels, like gynecomastia and edema. With this being said, estradiol plays an important role, even in men, so taking it in the absence of clinically diagnosed high estradiol levels and related symptoms may be counterproductive. At this time, there is no consensus on its use or on the optimal estradiol range in men. Estradiol in Men Most men think of estrogen as exclusively a female hormone, but men also produce it. In fact, testosterone is the precursor of estradiol, an estrogen and the primary female sex hormone. Testosterone is converted into estradiol via the aromatase enzyme. Because testosterone can be converted into estradiol, taking testosterone via testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can potentially elevate estrogen levels. Fortunately, most men on standard TRT dosages do not experience high estradiol levels."

Locally advanced cancer is breast cancer that has spread to tissue near the breast, but not to parts of the body away from the breast. Metastatic breast cancer is cancer that has spread to parts of the body away from the breast, such as the bones or liver. Still, some cancers become resistant to this treatment. Earlier research suggests that interactions between the HER2 receptor communication pathways and the estrogen receptor communication pathways in the cancer could be contributing to this treatment resistance. So researchers wanted to see if adding an aromatase inhibitor to the targeted therapies instead of chemotherapy would help improve progression-free survival in women diagnosed with locally advanced or metastatic hormone-receptor-positive, HER2-positive breast cancer. Also, compared to the side effects of chemotherapy, the side effects of aromatase inhibitors are considered less toxic. Progression-free survival is how long a woman lives without the cancer growing. Results from an early study are promising: the combination of Perjeta, Herceptin, and an aromatase inhibitor led to longer progression-free survival than only Herceptin and an aromatase inhibitor. The study was presented on Dec. 8, 2016 at the 2016 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium."

"text": "Aromatase Inhibitors Aromatase inhibitors are used to treat hormone receptor-positive early and metastatic breast cancers in postmenopausal women. Learn about aromatase inhibitors and other hormone therapies for metastatic breast cancer. How do aromatase inhibitors work? Hormone receptor-positive breast cancers need estrogen and/or progesterone (female hormones produced in the body) to grow. Aromatase inhibitors are hormone therapy drugs that can slow or stop the growth of hormone receptor-positive tumors. They lower estrogen levels in the body by blocking aromatase, an enzyme that converts other hormones into estrogen. This prevents the cancer cells from getting the hormones they need to grow. Aromatase inhibitors include: Anastrozole (Arimidex)Exemestane (Aromasin)Letrozole (Femara)To learn about a specific aromatase inhibitor, visit the National Institutes of Health's Medline Plus website.

"text": "Breast cancer diet during aromatase inhibitor treatment Aromatase inhibitors are designed to inhibit the action of the enzyme aromatase, which converts androgens into estrogens by a process called aromatization. Aromatase inhibitors include Femara (letrozole), Arimidex (anastrozole), and Aromasin (exemestane). Aromatase inhibitors generally are used for estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer in postmenopausal women. Since the growth of ER+ (i.e., estrogen sensitive) breast cancer is promoted by estrogen, decreasing the production of estrogen in the body is designed to suppress recurrence. Note that whereas aromatase inhibitors block the production of estrogen, tamoxifen interferes with a tumor's ability to use estrogen. There are some foods that also inhibit aromatase and other foods that increase aromatase or otherwise interfere with aromatase inhibitors. Please also see our article on the latest research concerning the impact of endocrine treatment on breast cancer prognosis. Aromatase inhibitors normally are not used to treat breast cancer in premenopausal women unless accompanied by ovarian function suppression since inhibiting aromatase does not effect the production of estrogen by the ovaries (which is the most abundant source of estrogen in premenopausal women). To the extent that an aromatase inhibitor did decrease the production of estrogen in a premenopausal woman, the decrease would tend to stimulate the ovaries to increase androgen production, thereby neutralizing the effect of the aromatase inhibitor. Weight gain after breast cancer diagnosis has been shown to increase hot flashes in breast cancer survivors on aromatase inhibitors."

"text": "Summary and Introduction The new non-steroidal and steroidal aromatase inhibitors are at least as effective as megestrol acetate (MA) as second-line hormonal agents in postmenopausal women with breast cancer. However, they are superior to MA in terms of tolerability and adverse effects. Letrozole and exemestane have been shown to be superior to MA in terms of efficacy. Furthermore, exemestane and anastrozole demonstrated a survival advantage over MA. These drugs are therefore considered established second-line hormonal agents. There is a growing body of evidence supporting the role of third-generation aromatase inhibitors as first-line therapy for ER- and/or Pg R-positive advanced breast cancer in postmenopausal women, and as a neoadjuvant therapy in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor positive tumours unsuitable for breast conserving surgery. Studies comparing these drugs head-to-head and with adjuvant tamoxifen are currently in progress. The potential role of these drugs in breast cancer prevention is worth investigating. Oestrogens play an important role in the development and growth of hormone-dependent breast tumours [ 1, 2]. The main sites of oestrogen biosynthesis in postmenopausal women are skin, muscle, adipose tissue, and benign and malignant breast tissue [ 3, 4, 5]. In such tissues, oestrogen (a C 18 steroid) is derived from androgens (C 19 steroids) by the aromatase enzyme complex. The conversion of adrenal androstenedione to oestrone by aromatase is related to body weight [ 6]. In normal weight subjects, approximately 1% of androstenedione is converted to oestrone, whereas in obese subjects, this increases up to 10%."

"text": "Investor Update Basel, 03 May 2007Herceptin approved in Europe for use in combination with an aromatase inhibitor for the treatment of patients with HER2 and hormone receptor-co-positive metastatic breast cancer The first combination of targeted therapies for any cancer to receive approval worldwide Roche announced today that the European Commission has approved the use of Herceptin in combination with an aromatase inhibitor for the treatment of postmenopausal patients with HER2 and hormone receptor co-positive metastatic breast cancer. The approval is based on data from the international phase III TAn DEM study which showed that the addition of Herceptin to hormonal therapy doubled the median progression-free survival (time patients live without their cancer progressing), from 2.4 months to 4.8 months. i “Today’s approval means that for the first time a combination of targeted therapies is available for patients who suffer from a particularly aggressive form of breast cancer,” commented William M. Burns, CEO Division Roche Pharmaceuticals. “ Herceptin consistently benefits patients regardless of whether it is given in the early- or advanced-stage settings, or whether it is in combination with chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, or as a single agent.” Comprehensive reviews have suggested that approximately two thirds of breast tumours are hormone receptor positive ii. Of these, a significant percentage (up to 25%) are also HER2-positive. iii, iv, v. TAn DEM is the first randomised study to show that this specific subset of patients with ‘co-positive’ disease (both HER2- and hormone receptor-positive) are at an increased risk of relapse, making the positive results with Herceptin even more meaningful. Herceptin is currently approved for the treatment of early and metastatic (advanced) HER2-positive disease, and has demonstrated a survival benefit in both settings. This new approval will also allow Herceptin to be used in combination with hormonal therapy for advanced breast cancer. About the TAn DEM study TAn DEM, conducted by Roche, is a randomised phase III trial which evaluated Herceptin in combination with the hormonal therapy anastrozole versus anastrozole alone as first-line therapy (or second-line hormonal therapy) in postmenopausal women with advanced (metastatic) HER2-positive and hormone receptor-positive (ER-positive and/or PR-positive) breast cancer."

"text": "P roponents of a chemopreventive approach to breast cancer strive to develop and distribute a safe drug that will prevent breast cancer. It is widely presumed that preventing breast cancer will prevent death from breast cancer and the benefit of chemoprevention could be measured in terms of lives saved. The rationale for using antiestrogen agents as primary prevention is based on several observations that when tamoxifen was used to treat breast cancer, a reduction in the risk of contralateral breast cancer was seen. Protection against first primary and contralateral breast cancers has also been noted for raloxifene and for the aromatase inhibitors exemestane and anastrozole. Randomized clinical trials of these drugs were conducted 1 - 6 ( Table ), based on the premise that by blocking estrogen signaling (through receptor blockade or inhibition of aromatase) cancers that are dependent on estrogen might be prevented in the first place, or that small latent cancers could be stopped in their tracks. The trials consistently show that up to one-half of estrogen receptor (ER)-positive first primary breast cancers can be prevented. The authors were optimistic that if a drug could be shown to prevent breast cancer and had acceptable adverse effects, women would be enthusiastic about taking it for 5 years. Table. Download Characteristics of Incident Breast Cancers Detected in Antiestrogen Prevention Trials Breast cancers of all sizes and classes can be fatal, and, in theory, preventing breast cancer should prevent death from breast cancer. Unfortunately, the facts do not bear out the theory."

"text": "In the late 1970s, treatment of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer was revolutionized by the introduction of the drug tamoxifen. Since then, a multitude of successful new hormone-based (endocrine) drugs have followed. But despite this formidable arsenal, not all patients respond to these drugs, and many who do respond eventually relapse. This was the case for 53-year-old Seattle resident Jill Cohen. In 2002, doctors discovered that her breast cancer—initially diagnosed as early-stage disease in 1998—had returned and spread to her bones. Cohen is alive thanks to a series of hormone therapy drugs. “I feel extraordinarily lucky,” Cohen says. “ I have long outlived the statistical odds. ”But Cohen’s cancer has spread throughout her body. As Cohen and many other women whose cancers develop resistance to hormone therapy drugs have learned, there are often new therapies being studied for just such an occasion."

Forensic pathologists, sometimes referred to as medical examiners, are doctors who are trained and qualified to determine both the cause and manner of death of individuals who have died violently, suddenly or unexpectedly, based on an examination of the remains. More forensic pathologists retire each year than are qualified to take their places, creating excellent opportunities for candidates who are willing to complete the rigorous training required. Undergraduate The first postsecondary educational requirement for a candidate who wishes to pursue a career as a forensic pathologist is obtaining a four-year bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university. There is no specific major field of study for pre-med students, but they must typically complete coursework in such subjects as biology, physics, chemistry, the humanities, mathematics, English and the social sciences, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Admittance to medical school is highly competitive, and candidates who hold leadership positions in campus organizations, participate in extracurricular activities and score well on the Medical College Admission Test should have the best opportunities for acceptance. Medical School All forensic pathologists are either medical doctors or doctors of osteopathy. Before a candidate can become a doctor, she must first complete medical school. Medical school typically requires four years. The first two involve mostly classroom studies and laboratory work in such subjects as anatomy, medical ethics, biochemistry, psychology, pharmacology and the legal side of practicing medicine."

This occurrence seems related to the presence of a significant ventricular septal defect. We have presented the morphologic findings in seven patients with aortic atresia and normally developed left ventricle, (six necropsied patients, and one studied angiocardiographically). Four autopsied patients had conal type ventricular septal defects, characterized in three by conoventricular malalignment. Subaortic atresia in these patients resulted from leftward deviation of the conal septum. One patient with aortic atresia and well-developed left ventricle had a membraneous defect, and one patient had a complete A-V canal. The ventricular septal defect in the patients with conoventricular malalignment are very similar to the conal VSD observed in patients with aortic arch interruptions. Although ultimate survival with these uncommon groupings of anomalies necessitates patency of the ductus arteriosus, clinical recognition rests on (1) awareness of its existence, (2) ultrasonography, and (3) selective biventricular and aortic angiography."

Print Overview In 2006, deaths caused by poisoning accounted for 20.8% of all deaths caused by injury in the United States, surpassing the percentage of deaths caused by firearms (17.3%) and second only to deaths caused by motor vehicle collisions (24.4%). [ 1] Given that an element of intoxication is involved in many motor vehicle collisions, the vital role toxicologic analysis plays in modern death investigation becomes clear. Deaths related to drug overdoses in celebrities have brought mass media attention to the drug abuse pandemic. Whereas historically drugs such as heroin and cocaine have been considered the \"\"dangerous\"\" drugs, in recent years, prescription drug abuse has far surpassed \"\"illegal\"\" drugs as agents of lethal drug toxicity. This trend is expected to continue. Entire textbooks have been written on forensic toxicology and individual drugs and chemicals that can cause death.

In the 1800’s the field of forensics was developed when people began to apply scientific methods to legal trails and criminal investigations. A forensic pathologist is the person who conducts a medical examination or autopsy on the corpse of someone who has met a sudden or violent death. If you are a fan of shows like NCIS, the character of Donald Mallard, aka Ducky, is an example of a forensic pathologist. In addition to studying the body they will also examine evidence like tissue samples, body fluids, etc that can help if it is a criminal investigation and possible court trial. This is a person who figures out the manner of death such as was it by suicide, murder, natural death, or accidental death, and the cause of death. You will find this job mainly in the law and justice system. Depending on where they work they may also be known as coroners, pathologists, or medical examiners. As you will be working on dead bodies if you are not comfortable with doing this, then being a forensic pathologist is not the career you should seek."

"text": "Forensic Pathologist career: salary, requirements and education Leave a reply A forensic pathologist, or a medical examiner, is a trained physician whose responsability is that of determining the cause, means and circumstances of death for an individual who has died suddenly, suspiciously, unnaturally or unexpectedly. A forensic pathology practitioner will analyze the medical history of the deceased individual and crime scene evidence and witness testimonials, perform an autopsy to assess whether death was caused by injury or disease, as well to collect further evidence from the body. In most jurisdictions, there are five main legally recognized causes of death: natural, homicide, suicide, accident and undetermined. After his investigation is complete, a forensic pathologist is required to document his findings in a report and sometimes may be required to testify in court. As such forensic pathologists are often crucial witnesses in court trials involving death, as their testimony and credibility can help determine a defendant’s guilt or innocence. The work in this field is hard, the hours long, and the responsibilities numerous. It’s a tough job by all means, and considering a forensic pathologist has to deal with people past away on a day to day basis, this is not a career for the weak of heart, or stomach moreover!

Share Email Feedback Sections Overview Presentation DDx Workup Treatment Follow-up References Background Hydronephrosis and hydroureter are common clinical conditions encountered not only by urologists but also by emergency medicine specialists and primary care physicians. Hydronephrosis is defined as distention of the renal calyces and pelvis with urine as a result of obstruction of the outflow of urine distal to the renal pelvis. Analogously, hydroureter is defined as a dilation of the ureter. The presence of hydronephrosis or hydroureter can be physiologic or pathologic. It may be acute or chronic, unilateral or bilateral. It can be secondary to obstruction of the urinary tract, but it can also be present even without obstruction. Obstructive uropathy refers to the functional or anatomic obstruction of urinary flow at any level of the urinary tract. Obstructive nephropathy is present when the obstruction causes functional or anatomic renal damage. Rarely, obstructive nephropathy may occur in the absence of hydronephrosis. [ 1] Thus, the terms hydronephrosis and obstruction should not be used interchangeably."

Share Email Print Feedback Overview The reasons for performing hospital autopsy examinations are varied, ranging from simple to complex. To the family, the reason may simply be to find out the cause of the death. To the physicians, the reason may be to uncover the progression and interactions of multiple disease processes and the effects of therapy. Ultimately, the autopsy examination provides a clinicopathologic correlation to be used by both the family and the patient's physicians. The hospital autopsy pathologist is confronted with a wide variety of unique cases requiring specialized problem solving and autopsy procedures. These autopsy findings are correlated with the medical history (some of which is known before the autopsy and some becomes known after the examination), premortem imaging studies, premortem and postmortem laboratory studies, microscopic findings of tissues, toxicology, and other associated medical procedures and documents. Thus, often the real labor involved in a modern autopsy examination begins and ends outside of the morgue. The autopsy examination culminates in the generation of an autopsy report. This report may be relatively simple and straightforward or may be voluminous and exceedingly complex. Ultimately, the autopsy report is not only a written description of the autopsy findings but also assembles and correlates these findings with the clinical setting, laboratory results, and imaging studies."

Surgical indications and repair techniques have evolved. We have managed 259 adult patients with AAOCA over 40 years. Our management strategy includes anatomic- and function-based surveillance to select surgical candidates. We reviewed our surgical cohort and analyzed anatomic and functional outcomes. Methods We queried our heart center databases to obtain the names of all patients with AAOCA managed at our institution between 1974 and 2014. We performed a retrospective chart review. Results Two hundred fifty-nine patients were managed for AAOCA. Sixty-one underwent surgical intervention."

"text": "Interview with a Forensic Pathologistin Careers in Medicine, Law Enforcement Careers, Salaried Jobs1What do you do for a living? I’ve been a hospital pathologist and a forensic pathologist as a specialty after being a medical doctor. How would you describe what you do? A pathologist is somebody who is interested in laboratory tests and tissues, which are removed from the human, or examined after death on humans. And from this he decides what particular affliction the individual has, or what he has died from. What does your work entail? Well, in forensic pathology, it was largely deciding what was the cause of death and the mode of death, which meant that it was a homicide, a suicide, a so-called natural death meaning that it was not homicide or suicide or it was undetermined. Sometimes, all you get is a piece of bone which is left and none of the body involved, so you may have a detailed explanation, or you may have a very simple and limited explanation. That is forensic pathology. Hospital pathology is divided into anatomic pathology and clinical pathology."

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is the \"\"sudden death of an infant under one year of age which remains unexplained after a thorough case investigation, including performance of a complete autopsy, examination of the death scene, and review of the clinical history\"\" (Willinger, et al., 1991). What Are the Most Common Characteristics of SIDS? Most researchers now believe that babies who die of SIDS are born with one or more conditions that make them especially vulnerable to stresses that occur in the normal life of an infant, including both internal and external influences. SIDS occurs in all types of families and is largely indifferent to race or socioeconomic level. SIDS is unexpected, usually occurring in otherwise apparently healthy infants from 1 month to 1 year of age. Most deaths from SIDS occur by the end of the sixth month, with the greatest number taking place between 2 and 4 months of age. A SIDS death occurs quickly and is often associated with sleep, with no signs of suffering, . More deaths are reported in the fall and winter (in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres) and there is a 60- to 40-percent male-to-female ratio."

"text": "What is anatomic pathology? Anatomic (or anatomical) pathology is the branch of medicine that studies the effect of disease on the structure of body organs, both as a whole (grossly) and microscopically. The primary role of anatomic pathology is to identify abnormalities that can help to diagnose disease and manage treatment. Although one of the frequent uses of anatomic pathology is to help identify and manage various types of tumors or cancers, it is also valuable in evaluating other conditions, including kidney and liver diseases , autoimmune disorders, and infections, for example. In fact, in most hospitals, all tissue removed during surgery must be examined by a pathologist. Anatomic pathology is somewhat different from clinical pathology (or laboratory medicine), which deals with the measurement of chemical constituents of blood and other body fluids (clinical chemistry), analysis of blood cells (hematology), and identification of microorganisms (microbiology), to name a few examples. While most of the tests described on this site would be categorized as clinical pathology, many are used in conjunction with anatomic pathology procedures. In fact, technical advances are blurring the distinctions between the two in many areas. Overlaps include, for example, flow cytometry, cytogenetics and molecular pathology, which can be performed on both tissue samples and blood or body fluid samples. Therefore, some knowledge of this branch of medicine may help you better understand the tests that your or a family member's health practitioner may consider in diagnosing, monitoring, and treating a condition."

Pathologists are physicians who have a specialty that includes the study of bodily tissues and fluid so information can be derived and used for making a comprehensive diagnosis of a patient. A pathologist will use studies for the purposes of determining the stage of specific diseases. The doctor will handle specimens from the patient and use them to determine what disease is present and the cause if applicable. In some cases, a pathologist might be responsible for performing autopsies as There are many subspecialties under the title of pathologist and such specialists will be further explored later in this article. Some possible job titles a pathologist might work under include a Pathology Laboratory Directory, Oral Pathologist, Forensic Pathologist, Dermatopathologist, Cytopathologist, Attending Pathologist, Associate Pathologist, or Anatomic Pathologist, just to name a few. The job of a pathologist involves a lot of detective work wherein the individual has to assess fluids and tissue samples and examine any patient related reports passed on by the patient’s primary care physician. In some instances, a pathologist will provide patients with treatment or care recommendations. Often, a pathologist can be found working alongside a doctor who handles post-mortem autopsies. Pathologists must create a full report of their findings following specimen analysis."

Autopsy examiners -- also known as forensic pathologists, coroners or medical examiners -- are specialized doctors in charge of determining the cause and manner of people's deaths. They perform complex postmortem procedures called autopsies, which involve careful inspection of the internal organs and tissues to solve the mystery of how a person died. Countless television shows feature medical examiners at work, but few provide insight into how these professionals got started. The truth is that becoming a medical examiner can be challenging and involves over a decade of education and training. Earn a bachelor's degree. Medical examiners start their education in an undergraduate program in the subject of their choice; however, they need certain prerequisite courses for entrance to medical school. Aspiring examiners should have a strong background in the physical and social sciences, as well as English. To satisfy these requirements, many opt to pursue a degree in biology, chemistry, premedical studies or a similar field. Take the medical college admission test and apply to medical school."

[ 1] The Ancestral Puebloans are believed to have developed, at least in part, from the Oshara Tradition, who developed from the Picosa culture. They lived in a range of structures that included small family pit houses, larger structures to house clans, grand pueblos, and cliff-sited dwellings for defense. The Ancestral Puebloans possessed a complex network that stretched across the Colorado Plateau linking hundreds of communities and population centers. They held a distinct knowledge of celestial sciences that found form in their architecture. The kiva, a congregational space that was used chiefly for ceremonial purposes, was an integral part of this ancient people's community structure.

"text": "Religious Specialists I. Anthropological Study Victor W. Turner BIBLIOGRAPHYII. Sociological Study Ivan A. Vallier BIBLIOGRAPHYI ANTHROPOLOGICAL STUDYA religious specialist is one who devotes himself to a particular branch of religion or, viewed organizationally, of a religious system. “ Religion” is a multivocal term whose range of meanings varies in different social and historical contexts. Never theless, most definitions of religion refer to the recognition of a transhuman controlling power that may be either personal or impersonal. A religious specialist has a culturally defined status relevant to this recognition. In societies or contexts where such power is regarded as impersonal, anthropologists customarily describe it as magic, and those who manipulate the power are magicians. Wherever power is personalized, as deity, gods, spirits, daemons, genii, ancestral shades, ghosts, or the like, anthropologists speak of religion. In reality, religious systems contain both magical and religious beliefs and procedures: in many of them the impersonal transhuman (or mystical, or nonem-pirical, or supernatural) power is considered to be a devolution of personal power, as in the case of the mystical efficacy or rites established in Mo tempore by a deity or divinized ancestor. Priest and prophet Scholars have tended to distinguish between two polarities of religious specialization. Max Weber, for example, although well aware of numerous historical instances of their overlap and interpenetration, contrasts the roles of priest and prophet."

It emerges where we least expect it, and the stolid Anglo-Saxon may suddenly awaken to something in himself due to a forgotten Celtic strain in his ancestry. Two main theories of Celtic origins now hold the field: (1) The Celts are identified with the progenitors of the short, brachycephalic \"\"Alpine race\"\" of Central Europe, existing there in Neolithic times, after their migrations from Africa and Asia. The type is found among the Slavs, in parts of Germany and Scandinavia, and in modern France in the region of Caesar's \"\"Celtae,\"\" among the Auvergnats, the Bretons, and in Lozère and Jura.

"text": "\"World History and the Mongols An empire arose in the steppes of Mongolia in the thirteenth century that forever changed the map of the world, opened intercontinental trade, spawned new nations, changed the course of leadership in two religions, and impacted history indirectly in a myriad of other ways. At its height, the Mongol Empire was the largest contiguous empire in history, stretching from the Sea of Japan to the Carpathian Mountains. Although its impact on Eurasia during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries was enormous, the Mongol Empire's influence on the rest of the world—particularly its legacy—should not be ignored. Brief History The formation of the Mongol Empire was a slow and arduous process, beginning with the unification of the Mongol and Turkic tribes that dwelt in the Mongolian steppes. Temüjin (1165-1227) emerged on the steppes as a charismatic leader, slowly gaining a following before becoming a nökhör (companion or vassal) to Toghril (d. 1203/1204), Khan of the Kereits, the dominant tribe in central Mongolia. While in the service of Toghril, Temüjin's talents allowed him to become a major leader among the Mongol tribes. Eventually, Temüjin's increase in power and the jealousy it provoked among other members of Toghril's supporters caused Temüjin and Toghril to part ways and ultimately to clash in battle. Their quarrel came to a head in 1203 with Temüjin emerging as the victor. Temüjin unified the tribes of Mongolia by 1206 into a single supra-tribe known as the Khamag Mongol Ulus or the All Mongol State. In doing so, Temüjin reorganized the social structure by dissolving old tribal lines and regrouping them into an army based on a decimal system (units of 10, 100, and 1000)."

"text": "How American Indian Reservations Came to Be Posted 05.25.2015 | Updated 10.18.2016BY Sarah K. Elliott Support provided by: Learn more An Indian reservation is land reserved for and managed by a Native American tribe, its sovereignty limited by federal and state or local law. Today, there are roughly 300 reservations in the United States. But how and why did Indian reservations come to be? Red Cloud, Lakota chief (1822 – 1909), from a photograph housed at the Library of Congress. Treaties signed between American Indians and Colonial powers in the 17th and 18th centuries, and then between tribes and American officials in the late 18th and 19th centuries, resulted time and again in either the reduction of aboriginal lands or the relocation of Native Americans from their ancestral homes to designated areas where they lived and governed with limited independence. The Indian Removal Act, signed by President Andrew Jackson on May 28, 1830, was an unprecedented legal maneuver that gave the president the power to make treaties with every tribe east of the Mississippi, ultimately forcing them to surrender their lands in exchange for territory in the West. Prior to his presidency, Jackson was called “Sharp Knife” by the Indians he had battled on the frontier. In his political life afterward, he was a tenacious architect for the removal of Native Americans from the states and white settlements in the territories. He believed Indians had “neither the intelligence, the industry, the moral habits, nor the desire for improvement which are essential to any favorable change in their condition. Established in the midst of another and a superior race, and without appreciating the causes of their inferiority or seeking to control them, they must necessarily yield to the force of circumstances and ere long disappear."

Kvenland: Northern Baltic Finnish Kingdom Swedish Rule in Finland Slavic Conquest Orthodox Religion and cultural identity Chronology of Slavic conquest Finno-Ugric language statistics: endangered list Bjarm and White Sea Area Finns Books on this subject Share on Facebook The Origin of Finland About twelve thousand years ago, Finland (the area inhabited by Finns, Karelians and Lapps, between Norway and Lake Onega) was almost totally buried under a continental ice sheet, just as Greenland is today. Gradually, the ice sheet melted, (early global warming) and its southern margin retreated farther and farther north. As the ice load grew thinner and vanished, the earth's crust began to rise--a process that has continued to this day, most markedly along the Gulf of Bothnia. Finland is actually rising at 8.5 mm/year, an amazing speed, that can easily stay ahead of any rise in ocean levels. Finland Rises From the Sea During that process, the Finnish peninsula slowly rose out of the sea, first forming solitary islands, then chains of islands, and, finally, a clearly defined extension of the continent. The retreating glacier striated the bedrock, leaving behind it vivid evidence of the ancient geologic process; and, during the melting stage, clay accumulated in annual layers, and pollen grains were preserved in peat, thus bearing further witness to the vicissitudes of Nature. Through the study of such phenomena, geologists have been able to deduce the origins of Finland. During extremely cold periods between 9 000 and 8 000 B. C., the continental ice sheet halted in its retreat three times and remained stationary for centuries. This led to the formation of two chains of eskers out of gravel and sand that were transported by streams of melting ice."

However, there is another view on the ethnicity of Alan. Evidences were presented in favor of their Turkic origin, but such publications remain scarcely known to the wide range of readers (LAYPANOV K. T., MIZIEV I. M. 2010; MIZIEV I. M. 2010-1 a.o.). In contrast, works restoring the history of Alan in Iranian mainstream are very popular. An example of which can be the fundamental work of A. Alemany (ALEMANY AGUSTI. 2000) which largely bases on the works of V. I. Abayev, which are also very known. Abayev is considered a great authority in the scythology despite his obvious bias association with nationality. His field of research is rather narrow, in particular, the epigraphy of the Northern Black Sea region which he deciphered mostly erroneously because he did it only with the help of Iranian languages. At the same time, he overlooked many facts that could lead his research to the true path. For example, with his rich imagination, he didn't suppose the possibility of Ossetian origin for such place names as Azov, Akhtyrka, Vorskla, Kalitva, Oskol, Sochi and other names without reliable etymology."

This area is composed of three distinct topographical regions: the plain, the cliffs, and the plateau. Within these regions the Dogon population of about 300,000 is most heavily concentrated along a 200 kilometer (125 mile) stretch of escarpment called the Cliffs of Bandiagara. These sandstone cliffs run from southwest to northeast, roughly parallel to the Niger River, and attain heights up to 600 meters (2000 feet). The cliffs provide a spectacular physical setting for Dogon villages built on the sides of the escarpment. There are approximately 700 Dogon villages, most with fewer than 500 inhabitants. A Dogon family compound in the village of Pegue is seen from the top of the Bandiagara escarpment. During the hot season, the Dogon sleep on the roofs of their earthen homes. Abdule Koyo, a Dogon man, stands on the top of the Bandiagara escarpment that overlooks the Bongo plains.

On this page Introduction Rites, festivals and practices Ethics, beliefs and other paths Print this page Introduction Heathenry Heathenry is a term used to describe the religious practices of two main groups of people, one historical and one modern. The original Heathens were the pre-Christian North European peoples who lived a thousand and more years ago in the lands around what is now called the North Sea. These included the peoples of Anglo-Saxon England, Scandinavia, Germany and Frisia (Friesland). Scandinavian landscape ©Modern Heathen groups around the world are reviving these old practices and call their religion by various names including Asatru, The Northern Tradition, Odinism, Forn Sed, Germanic Pagan Reconstructionism or, simply, Heathenry. In Iceland, which did not convert to Christianity until the 11th Century, Heathenry has once again become an official (nationally recognised) religion. Heathens work to build healthy relationships with gods and goddesses, ancestors, spirits of the land, and others in their communities, both through holy rites and through their day to day actions. Sources There are literary sources that tell us how Heathenry was practised before the advent of Christianity. The main such sources include medieval Icelandic Eddas and Sagas, Anglo-Saxon poetry, the works of the 8th century English monk Saint Bede, and the Germania by the Roman historian Tacitus. Although most of these were written in Christian times, they record the religious beliefs and practices of a culture that existed before Christianity came to Northern Europe."

South Sudan is home to around 60 indigenous ethnic groups and 80 linguistic partitions among a 2016 population of around 12 million [1]. Historically, most ethnic groups were lacking in formal Western political institutions, with land held by the community and elders acting as problem solvers and adjudicators. Today, most ethnic groups still embrace a cattle culture in which livestock is the main measure of wealth and used for bride wealth. The majority of the tribes in South Sudan are of African heritage who practice either Christianity or syncretisms of Christian and Traditional African religion. There is a significant minority of people, primarily tribes of Arab heritage, who practice Islam. Most tribes of African heritage have at least one clan that has embraced Islam, and some clans of tribes of Arab heritage have embraced Christianity. Linguistic diversity is much greater in the southern half of the country, a significant majority of the people belong to either the Dinka people (38.8% of the South Sudan population, and primary residents of the historic Bor and Bahr el Ghazal Region or the Nuer people (27.6% of the South Sudan population living primarily in the historic Greater Upper Nile region along with a significant number of Dinka). Both peoples speak one of the Nilo-Saharan languages and are closely related linguistically. Dinka is a standard language in South Sudan; however, its dialects are not all mutually intelligible.

Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The Aborigines believe that there it is hollow below ground, and that there is an energy source that they call 'Tjukurpa' the dream time. The term Tjukurpa is also used to refer to the record of all activities of a particular ancestral being from the very beginning of his or her travels to their end. Ayers Rock (Mount Uluru) is inhabited by dozens of ancestral 'beings' whose activities are recorded at many other sites. At each site, the events that took place can be recounted, whether those events were of significance or whether the ancestral being just rested at a certain place before going on. Usually, there is a physical feature of some form at each ancestral site which represents both the activities of the ancestral being at the time of its formation and the living presence of Tjukurpa within that physical feature today. For the Australian Aboriginal people, that physical feature, whatever its form or appearance, animate or inanimate, is the Tjukurpa. It may be a rock, a sand hill, a grove of trees, a cave. For all of these, the creative essence remains forever within the physical form or appearance. Around Mount Uluru there are many examples of ancestral sites."

For men it is, in particular, a time for husbands to honor their wives in their female role of motherhood. At times, this role has been underrated by both men and women, but without it, it is no exaggeration to say that our entire society falters, because the family is our center, and the basis of our society. Without mothers, and for that matter, without fathers, our offspring can be put at a terrible disadvantage. This is evident even in elephant families, where, without traditional fathers, young male elephants run amok. With absent fathers, lacking strong male role models, they become juvenile delinquents. [ 1]Rampaging Juvenile Elephants Photo: Animal Planet Epigenetics is a truly fascinating area of inquiry in this regard. Through it, we have learned, in essence, that what Karl Jung might have termed “collective unconscious” or physical inherited “memories” is at least in the ball park, if not spot on. Epigenetics proves, for example, that those whose grandparents suffered from famine are more likely to gain weight easily because their bodies have adapted specifically to the experiences of their ancestors. This means at the very least that the experiences of our ancestors are yet with us genetically, and that is not all…."

The term jicarilla [ needs IPA] comes from Mexican Spanish meaning \"\"little basket\"\", referring to the small sealed baskets they used as drinking vessels. To neighboring Apache bands like the Mescalero and Lipan they were known as Kinya-Inde (\"\"People who live in fixed houses\"\"). The Jicarilla called themselves also Haisndayin translated as \"\"people who came from below\"\", [nb 2] because they believed to be the sole descendants of the first people to emerge from the underworld, the abode of Ancestral Man and Ancestral Woman who produced the first people. [ citation needed]The Jicarilla Apache lived in a semi-nomadic existence in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and plains of southern Colorado, northern New Mexico and ranged into the Great Plains starting before 1525 CE. They lived a relatively peaceful life for years, traveling seasonally to traditional hunting, gathering and cultivation along river beds. The Jicarilla learned about farming and pottery from the Puebloan peoples and learned about survival on the plains from the Plains Indians and had a rich and varied diet and lifestyle. The Jicarilla’s farming practices expanded to the point where they required considerable time and energy. As a result, the people became rather firmly settled and tended to engage in warfare less frequently than did other Eastern Apache groups. Starting in the 1700s Colonial New Spain, pressure from other Native American tribes, like the Comanches, and later westward expansion of the United States resulted in significant loss of property, expulsion from their sacred lands, and relocation to lands not suited for survival."

"text": "\"Full Answer In the early Christian church during times of persecution, the anchor was one of the substitutes for the symbol of the cross. The early Christians were reluctant to publicly display the core symbol of their faith in pagan surroundings. In addition, some church regulations declared that what was adored should not become a mere decoration. The anchor is often found in burial places of the early Roman Christians. Other substitute symbols in use were the trident and a decussate cross, which looks like the Greek letter chi. The wide-spread symbol for the Crucifixion in those days was a lamb at the foot of the anchor: the lamb representing Christ, and the anchor the cross. In Hebrews 6:19 the hope for eternal life through the death of Jesus Christ is called \"\"a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul\"\". Clement of Alexandria was one of the early church leaders who were against the use of symbols. Nevertheless, he approved of the anchor cross. The anchor cross was the sign for the martyrdom of St. Clement, who on the order of the Emperor Trajan, was tied to an anchor and drowned in the sea."

It allocates attention to the effortful mental activities that demand it. The operations of System 2 are often associated with the subjective experience of agency, choice, and concentration. When we think of ourselves, we identify with System 2, the conscious, reasoning self that has beliefs, makes choices, and decides what to think about and what to do. Yet this is hardly the case."

Posted Apr 07, 2012SHARETWEETEMAILMORETwo wrongs don't make a right, but they make a good excuse. ~ Thomas Szasz One of the most famous findings in the psychology of prediction is the phenomenon of base rate neglect. People mainly rely on judgments of representativeness. They assign an instance to the category whose prototype it resembles the most without regard to the relative size of the category. When the category is very small, the heuristic of representativeness leads to systematic overcategorization. Physicians overdiagnose rare diseases when the symptoms reflect the disease’s typical pattern, ordinary people overestimate the size of stereotyped minority groups, and scientific significance testers are too accepting of improbable alternatives to the null hypothesis. As noted in a previous post, the traditional remedies for heuristic decision-making are efforts to debias people by (a) warning them about the pitfalls of heuristics, (b) offering rewards for accurate judgment, and (c) extracting multiple judgments followed by swift feedback, or a combination of these. The common theme of these strategies is that they seek to improve judgment with appeals to some rational reasoning capacity, which is sometimes referred to as “System 2 reasoning” – which sets them apart from the intuitive reasoning attributed to “System 1.”There is an alternative to this approach. It should be possible to improve judgment if two heuristics with opposing biases are simultaneously activated."

"text": "The History of Military Flag Emblems The History of Military Flag Emblems What all military flags have in common is their own specific emblem that serves as the centerpiece of the flag. Flags such as those for the Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard have a unique emblem design and theme, yet there are commonalities regarding symbolism of traditions, power, and strength. Significance of Military Flag Emblems The American Flag has been honored by millions. It represents each state with its own star, within a blue rectangle in the corner. The thirteen stripes, alternating in red and white, represent the original colonies. Each color has a meaning too: white means purity and innocence, red is for valor and bravery, and blue is representative of vigilance, perseverance, and justice. While the significance and symbolism of the Flag of the United States is widely known, the five branches of the military also have their own symbols and emblems. These American service flags are representative of the country’s rich history and the struggles which have been undertaken to protect the nation and its people. Each military flag has an emblem with similarities and differences to that of its counterparts. General Themes Eagle The bald eagle has been an emblem of the United States since the late 1700s."

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."

"text": "\"8/3/2016handprint : two point perspectivetwo point perspective Two point perspective or 2PP is the most commonly used construction method in artistic and architectural work, and it builds entirely on the perspective techniques already introduced. The presentation of two dimensions of recession, and the freedom we have to represent the primary form from countless points of view, makes this framework suitable for nearly all landscape, portrait and architectural situations. The three vanishing points of 3PP perspective are usually necessary only for downward or upward looking landscape views, or hovering views of buildings or still life objects. The unifying theme of this page is the correct proportioning of objects in perspective through methods for rotating vanishing points to a specific angle of view and locating the measure points to project in depth the dimensions of a measure bar established to a specific image scale on the image plane. Working with two vanishing points creates some practical problems when the points are spaced very far apart. I discuss some approaches to solving the problem.technique two point perspective rotating the vanishing points locating the measure points constructing a 2PP cube inclined lines & inclined planes distance point projection the ground line framework who has a 12 foot table? VP spacing from an object drawing where is the center of projection? The problem must be solved rather than ignored, because vanishing point spacing is critical to the correct appearance of objects in space. The final sections explain why, and describe methods to identify the center of projection — the optimal location for viewing the image — and the original circle of view, using only clues within the image itself. This can be done for any 1PP, 2PP or even 3PP image where we can reconstruct diagonals or vanishing points from the forms in the image.two point perspective Central or one point perspective represents a static and symmetrical view of space and the objects within it, with an emphasis on central recession in space — the recession of perspective gradients and the edges of forms exactly coincide."

There are varying designs of anchors, and the design of your anchor tattoo will tell a lot about your inky intentions. I've seen some anchor tattoos honor the dance between male and female duality and harmony. In this case, the crescent (along the bottom of the anchor) is symbolic of female ( yin) - and the vertical rod is symbolic of male ( yang) energy. Ancient Egyptian art shows gender in the anchor too. An anchor drawing/etching designed with a skiff or a boat as the lower half of the anchor represented \"\"female\"\" (the curve of woman, the crescent of moon ). And, a snake composed the upper half of the anchor-art, as the erect vertical mast - this is the male factor (phallus). Together, these two design compositions symbolize creation. In Renaissance art, anchors are often depicted with the dolphin. This is symbolic of tempering speed with resistance."

Shakespeare was not the only dramatist of his day to put ghosts on the stage, yet the apparitions in his plays have effects on the living that are unparalleled elsewhere in Elizabethan and Jacobean drama. In order to understand how he uses ghosts in some of his plays, it is useful to compare him with other playwrights of his time, and to examine contemporary debates about apparitions. When we do so, we will see how dramatically daring Shakespeare was, especially in Hamlet. Boydell's Collection of Prints illustrating Shakespeare's works Hamlet, Horatio, Marcellus and the Ghost. Hamlet, Act 1, Scene 4 by Henry Fuseli. View images from this item (24)Usage terms: Public Domain The parade of the dead come back to life The earliest Shakespeare play in which ghosts appear is Richard III. Asleep in his tent before the Battle of Bosworth, Richard is visited by the spirits of his victims, one after another. Each one in turn recalls his or her fate at Richard’s hand, predicts their killer’s defeat in the forthcoming battle, and ends by telling him to ‘Despair and die’ (5.3.126). Each one of them also speaks to the sleeping Earl of Richmond, leader of the army opposing Richard, and tells him to ‘Live and flourish’ (5.3.131)."

( We had been looking for a house in Madrid.). Rick Ligthelm /Creative Commons.by Gerald Erichsen Updated September 04, 2017Spanish students usually learn fairly early in their coursework that Spanish has two simple past tenses, the preterite and the imperfect. However, these two past tenses aren't the only past tenses available. Auxiliary verbs can also be used to form perfect and progressive, also known as continuous, tenses, some of which refer to the past. Present Perfect Despite its name, the present perfect tense refers to past actions. It is formed by using the present tense of haber followed by the past participle and is the rough equivalent of the same tense in English. Thus \"\" He estudiado \"\" — he is the first-person indicative singular form of haber, and estudiado is the past participle of estudiar — would usually be translated as \"\"I have studied,\"\" where \"\"studied\"\" is the past participle of \"\"to study. \"\" In general, the present perfect tense is used to discuss actions that took place in the past but still have relevance to the present or are continuing up to the present. Note, however, that the present perfect tense of Spanish doesn't always coincide exactly with that of English; in some cases, the tense in Spanish may be translated to the English using the simple past."

"text": "\"Meaning of the Dahlia Flower Revered for its beauty, the stunning dahlia flower comes in diverse shapes, sizes and colors. The dahlia blooms for extended periods of time, surpassing most other garden flowers, and many gardening enthusiasts refer to it as the \"\"Queen of the Autumn Garden.\"\" The dahlia's allure has a far reach: it is San Francisco's official flower, an official emblem of Mexico, and is considered in Japan to be a sign of good taste. History Indigenous to the highlands of Mexico and Guatemala, the dahlia flower first arrived in Europe in the 1500s, following the defeat of the Aztec Indians by Spanish conquistadors. Dahlias were introduced to Spain by returning botanists, who had accompanied the Spaniards to the New World. In 1789, Vincente Cervantes, director of Mexico City's Botanical Gardens, sent dahlia seeds to Spanish botanist Antonio Cavanilles of Madrid. Eventually, Cavanilles sent dahlia bulbs to Swedish botanist Andreas Dahl, for whom the dahlia is named. Dahl helped popularize the flower throughout Western Europe and Scandinavia. Ancient Uses Before the Spanish arrived in Mexico, the Aztecs named the dahlia \"\"Acocotli,\"\" which means \"\"water cane.\"\" This specifically referred to the Dahlia imperialis, which today is called tree dahlia."

"text": "\"Home Licorice root and testosterone Tagged: Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra)Large doses of licorice extract, usually in the form of candy or chewing gum, may cause hypertension and electrolyte imbalances through a well-defined mechanism (de Klerk et al). This effect was seen in an adult female with administration of a simple decoction of licorice root over three months (Bergner). Researchers have recently demonstrated that doses of licorice root extract, delivering the constituent glycyrrhizin in amounts similar to that contained in standard medical doses of the root, rapidly and significantly lowered levels of circulating testosterone in males (Armanini et al.). This effect appears to occur much more rapidly than the previously observed mineral corticoid effects. Similar effects of licorice on testosterone had been suggested previously in animal trials (Sakamoto and Wakabayashi; Takeuchi et al.) and in female subjects with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) (Takahashi et al; Yaginuma et al). In the Armanini trial, seven men aged 22-27 years old were given 7 grams daily of a commercial preparation of licorice tablets for a week. The daily dose contained about 0.5 grams (7.14%) of glycyrrhizin, as determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The tablets appear to be crude licorice root, which reportedly contains between 6-15% glycyrrhizin (Budavari), rather than a concentrate. Table 1 shows the changes is several hormones during an eleven-day period."

Relevant investigations followed by initiation of hormonal therapy in combination with regular anti-acne therapy may be necessary if signs of hyperandrogenism are present. In addition to other factors, androgen-stimulated sebum production plays an important role in the pathophysiology of acne in women. Sebum production is also regulated by other hormones, including estrogens, growth hormone, insulin, insulin-like growth factor-1, glucocorticoids, adrenocorticotropic hormone, and melanocortins. Hormonal therapy may also be beneficial in female acne patients with normal serum androgen levels. An understanding of the sebaceous gland and the hormonal influences in the pathogenesis of acne would be essential for optimizing hormonal therapy. Sebocytes form the sebaceous gland. Human sebocytes express a multitude of receptors, including receptors for peptide hormones, neurotransmitters and the receptors for steroid and thyroid hormones. Various hormones and mediators acting through the sebocyte receptors play a role in the orchestration of pathogenetic lesions of acne. Thus, the goal of hormonal treatment is a reduction in sebum production."

"text": "Introduction Standard test ranges for sex hormones in women An explanation of test results for sex hormones in women Normal ranges for hormone tests in women references Introduction Sex hormones, or steroidal hormones, are important for hair growth. A lack of one or more of these hormones could lead to a absence of body hair in adults, but more significantly an over expression of steroidal hormones and/or a lack of antagonists to steroidal hormones can result in hirsutism (excessive body hair) and/or the development of female pattern baldness. Because of this a blood test to examine hormone levels may be desirable if a tentative diagnosis of androgen induced hirsutism or androgenetic alopecia is made. It is rare for a man to suffer from systemic hormone abnormalities, although hyperandrogenicity in men is possible with some prostate and adrenal gland disorders. For women pre-menopause the story is somewhat different. Women may also rarely have an adrenal gland disorder, but much more common is a disorder of hormone production in the ovaries. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common problem that leads to a net excessive steroidal hormone activity. This may be associated with hirsutism, and in more severe cases, female pattern baldness. One of the simplest methods of diagnosing PCOS is with a blood test. In many cases of PCOS the hormone and hormone antagonist levels are altered."

"text": "Prohormones: 4ADFebruary 13, 2011 by Mindand Muscle Prohormones , Supplements No Comment4-Androstenediol, commonly referred to as 4-AD, was released not long after the very first prohormone on the supplement market, androstenedione or “andro”. 4 AD does not have much androgen receptor binding affinity on its own, but as a prohormone it converts to testosterone via the enzyme 3-beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3b HSD). Its bioavailability is better than androstenedione, but still fairly poor, and its half life is fairly short as with androstenedione. Large, frequent doses are needed to see an anabolic effect from 4 AD. 4 AD is a “wet” compound, or a mass builder, so it is optimally used when the goal is to build size rather than cut body fat.4 AD has moderate estrogenic and androgenic side effects, as testosterone can convert to both estrogen and DHT and as 4 AD itself can convert to androstanediol (an androgen). At the high doses required with this compound, these side effects can become somewhat of a concern. Gynecomastia, hair loss, and acne are not uncommon with 4 AD. 4 AD is not a methylated prohormone, so liver stress is not a big concern. Two isomers exist of 4 AD, the 3-alpha and 3-beta isomers. The 3-beta isomer may be more androgenic and therefore cause greater androgenic side effects, but any 4 AD supplement will contain a mix of the two isomers.4 AD is typically used at 1000mg or more per day, split in 3 divided doses."

It is a Non-Methylated anabolic compound designed to aid the user in improving strength and trimming fat.1-Androsterone is a non-methylated compound whose primary Metabolite is 1-Androstendione (1-AD) in the body. The nomenclature for 1-Andro is 1-androstene 3b-ol, 17-one. 1-Andro does not convert to testosterone or estrogen, but in fact converts to 1-testosterone. This basically means that estrogen related side effects should not occur and this compound can really help add lean mass. What does 1-Androsterone do? What is it good for? Let's start with what it does not do. 1-Androsterone does not convert to estrogen, and actually has anti-estrogenic effects, which means it is a good compound to use if you are doing a cutting cycle as it will aid in fat loss.1-Andro has relatively potent androgenic effects meaning gains will produce little to no water retention. Due to the lack of water retention gains will not occur rapidly, but gains are very easily retained during and after post cycle."

Ultrasound picture of PCOS Polycystic ovary at \"\"PCO\"\" Bowel at \"\"B\"\"What is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome? PCOS, short for polycystic ovarian syndrome, is a common cause of anovulation and female infertility It is also sometimes referred to as PCO (polycystic ovaries) or PCOD (polycystic ovarian disease). Women with polycystic ovaries and fertility problems: Do not release an egg (ovulate) regularly Have ovaries that contain many small cystic structures, about 2-9 mm in diameter How does normal ovulation work? In a normal menstrual cycle with ovulation, a mature follicle - which is also a cystic structure - develops. The size of a mature follicle that is ready to ovulate is about 18 to 28mm in diameter. About 14 days after ovulation the woman would be expected to get a period if she is not pregnant The basic difference between polycystic and normal ovaries is that although the polycystic ovaries contain many small antral follicles with eggs in them, the follicles do not develop and mature properly - so there is no ovulation. Since women with polycystic ovaries do not ovulate regularly, they do not get regular menstrual periods Symptoms of polycystic ovarian syndrome A common scenario in women with polycystic ovaries is: Irregular menstrual cycles, called oligomenorrhea, and sometimes a total lack of periods, referred to by doctors as amenorrhea Onset of excess facial and body hair growth - hirsutism, in the teens or early 20s Gradually worsening of the excess hair growth over the years Women with polycystic ovaries often have an excess amount of the male hormones testosterone and androstenedione - resulting in high testosterone levels in the blood. Women with PCO and high testosterone can have increased facial and body hair growth - called hirsutism."

The basic units of proteins and peptides are amino acids, whereas steroids contain the gonane structure. Proteins are relatively large molecules and are water soluble, whereas steroids are small molecules and are generally soluble in organic solvents. Peptides are somewhere in between these two classes of hormones with respect to molecular weight and solubility. BASIC STRUCTURE AND CLASSIFICATION OF STEROIDSThe basic structure of steroids, gonane (cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene), has 17 carbons which are arranged as three six-member carbon rings to which a five-member carbon ring is attached (Fig. 1). Each carbon has one or two hydrogens attached. The gonane structure can be represented without showing the carbons and hydrogens, as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1.

"text": "\"Pine Pollen Benefits, The Superfood from the Pine Tree Pine pollen benefits are well known these days in the \"\"superfood world\"\" as a nutritive adaptogen tonic powder collected from various pine tree species and consumed as a dietary supplement. Containing both testosterone and DHEA, it can be helpful for boosting both endocrine and immune functions in addition to increasing the enzymatic antioxidants glutathione and superoxide dismutase. There are many types of pine trees growing all over the world, but one thing they have in common is that they all make pollen-saturated cones. These are tiny grains on male cones that produce a yellow powdery dust designed to blow many miles beyond its source location. Pine pollen, coming from the genus Pinus, is usually wild harvested for commercial use from the Pinus sylvestris or Pinus massoniana pine tree species, both native to Asian countries with Pinus sylvestris also being indigenous to Western Europe. Pollen powder, however, can be collected from any pine tree species and is a very common seasonal occurrence found in large quantities in alpine environments. Dusting the earth with its golden granules, the grains literally cover the landscape, which is often considered a nuisance to most people. The release of pollen is a natural part of the life and growth cycle of these ecosystems, feeding the soil, plants and animals who eat pollen dusted food sources. The phytosterols in the pollen help to provide steriodal constituents useful for encouraging the springtime reproductive energy of many wild animals. In the words of Daniel Vitalis, owner of the pine pollen company Sur Thrival, \"\"I think of pine trees as these great ancient old sages that blanket the whole ecosystem in golden coins, this golden pollen that nurtures, feeds and nourishes the entire ecosystem... the soil, the plants, the animals with this abundant androgenic substance."

"text": "\"How is Estrogen Produced?by ADAM CLOE PH. D./M. D. Aug. 14, 2017Estrogen Forms The term \"\"estrogen\"\" actually describes several different related hormones. These estrogens are estrone (predominant form during menopause), estriol (primary estrogen during pregnancy), and estradiol (which is the most common form of estrogen in non-pregnant women between puberty and menopause). Estrogens are the dominant female sex hormone, which means that estrogen is responsible for female reproductive health and the development of sexual characteristics (such as breasts). Estrogens work by traveling into cells and binding to specific spots in the DNA, which causes certain proteins to be made. Estrogen Production Estrogens can be produced by fat tissue, the liver, the adrenal glands and the ovaries. The ovaries are the primary source of estrogens in premenopausal women, except for women who are pregnant. Estrogen production from the ovaries begins with the theca interna cells, which convert cholesterol into a hormone called androstenedione. This hormone is then exported to other cells within the ovaries, called the granulosa cells. These cells convert the adrostenedione into estradiol."

Short for androstenedione, andro is a hormone that became a star in the bodybuilding supplement industry in the nineties. The substance, a natural forerunner of both testosterone and estrogen, made headlines in 1998 when a reporter saw a bottle of the stuff in the locker of baseball star Mark Mc Gwire. Encouraged by wild claims that andro could boost their testosterone levels by as much as 400 percent, would-be power hitters and athletes of many other stripes started taking the supplements in hopes of matching Mc Gwire's bulk and strength. In October 2004, President Bush signed into law the Anabolic Steroid Control Act, which added andro to the list of banned, non-prescription steroid-based drugs. Major League Baseball, the National Football League, the Olympics, and the National Collegiate Athletics Association all now prohibit the use of andro. \"\" Young people, athletes and other consumers should steer clear of andro because there are serious, substantial concerns about its safety,\"\" said Thompson. \"\" Young people should understand that there are no shortcuts to a stronger body, and that the best way to get faster and stronger is through good diet, nutrition and exercise. \"\" But andro is still popular, partly because of claims that the supplement keeps red blood cells healthy, enhances recovery from exercise, and heightens sexual arousal and performance.

"text": "Prohormones are the most powerful muscle builders around. They are highly varied and very complex and there is a general lack of knowledge surrounding them. In this in-depth article, we provide a comprehensive guide to these powerful compounds. Technical Definition Prohormones are compounds which are converted via an enzymatic process to anabolic hormones in the body. As such they will cause similar effects in the body to anabolic steroids, inducing rapid muscle and strength gains, but of a lesser magnitude than anabolic steroids, due to the rate limiting effect caused by the enzyme conversion. However, this technical definition is nowadays considered out of date due to the innovation displayed in the supplement industry since the introduction of the very first prohormone, androstenedione. Today the term 'prohormones' is used to cover not just precursors to steroid hormones but also covers compounds which are active in their own right and which require no conversion to a different hormone to engender any anabolic effects. For the sake of simplicity, in this article the term 'prohormone' will cover all products which work via a hormonal mechanism to cause anabolic effects, and not just those which convert from one compound into another after ingestion. The Beginning Prohormones were introduced on to the supplement world in 1996 by renowned US chemist Patrick Arnold who developed the supplement androstenedione and unleashed it on an unsuspecting public. Androstenedione certainly created a buzz in the sports world and is heavily linked in the popular press with baseball greats such as Mark Mc Gwire whose use of the supplement was brought to light as he chased the baseball home run record in 1998."

"text": "Sir,We read the interesting article by Forward et al (2004) on the clinical and endocrine data for goserelin plus anastrozole in premenopausal women with advanced breast cancer. The authors presented interesting data regarding serum gonadotropin (FSH and LH) levels and androgen (testosterone, DHEAS and androstenedione) levels in 13 patients treated with the Gn RH agonist, goserelin, plus the selective oestrogen receptor modulator, tamoxifen, followed by goserelin plus the aromatase inhibitor, anastrozole. The authors found that goserelin and tamoxifen led to a 90 % fall in FSH levels down to 1.0 IU / L at 6 months ( P <0.001). Once the therapy was changed to goserelin and anastrozole, there was a significant rise in the mean FSH level to 7.8 IU / l at 12 months ( P <0.0001). Introduction of goserelin and tamoxifen resulted in an 89 % reduction in mean LH levels (pretreatment vs 6 months = 19.9 vs 0.3 IU / l; P = 0.01), but with substitution of tamoxifen by anastrozole, no significant change in LH levels occurred. With regard to androgen levels, the authors found a significant fall in testosterone and androstenedione, but not DHEAS, levels in association with substitution of tamoxifen by anastrozole. In their explanation for these observations, the authors suggested that the rise in FSH was due to release of a negative feedback as a result of further reduction in oestradiol levels upon the introduction of an aromatase inhibitor, or a rebound phenomenon from coming off tamoxifen. Regarding the significant decline in androgen levels (testosterone and androstenedione), contrary to what is expected (a rise due to potential substrate accumulation secondary to inhibition of the aromatase enzyme), the authors provided little in the way of discussion. We would like to propose a possible mechanism for the endocrine changes found in this study. Regarding the differential changes in gonadotropins (rise in FSH levels while LH levels remained suppressed) with substitution of tamoxifen by the aromatase inhibitor, anastrozole, we believe that involvement of the activin / inhibin / follistatin system could explain these changes."

It has been touted as both a performance and recovery enhancer, and is being used by many athletes in many different sports. Anytime there is this much hype surrounding a purported performance-enhancing chemical, great caution is advised. What is it? Performance enhancing steroids are evaluated in terms of anabolic and androgenic effects. Anabolic means, \"\"to build up\"\", and androgenic refers to masculinizing effects. All of the biochemicals, natural and artificial, in this class of compounds have both anabolic and androgenic activity. It pays to keep this in mind when discussing anabolic steroids because the androgenic properties account for most of the side effects (more on this later). Androstenedione is a naturally occurring androgenic steroid that is produced by the adrenal glands, ovaries, and testicles. Once released into the blood it is rapidly converted into testosterone, but there are also pathways through which androstenedione is converted into estrogen."

Old 1-Andro products were known for their high conversion rate and for being truly orally active.

Early user feedback reported lean mass and strength gains without much, if any, corresponding water gains. To sum it up, they have reduced estrogenic and increased androgenic activity. This allowed for increases in strength and aggression, reduction of body-fat and a leaner look to the physique.

"text": "DHT (Dihydrotestosterone)The main androgen secreted by the testes is of course testosterone. However, in most of the body, the androgenic signal is not carried through by testosterone. In these tissues, which include the brain (CNS), skin, genitals – practically everything but muscle – the active androgen is actually dihydrotestosterone ( DHT ). Testosterone in this case simply acts as a prohormone that is converted to the active androgen DHT by the action of the enzyme 5alpha reductase (5-AR).5-AR is concentrated heavily in practically every androgen dependent area of the body except for skeletal muscle. This results in very little testosterone actually getting through to these parts of the body to bind to androgen receptors. Instead, it is quickly transformed into DHT, which then interacts with receptors. This transformation serves a very important biological function in these tissues. You see, dihydrotestosterone is a much stronger androgen than testosterone – it binds about 3-5 times more strongly to the androgen receptor. If you took away 5-AR from these tissues and blocked the formation of DHT, then you would see some dramatic changes in physiology. A good case in point is demonstrated in male pseudohermaphroditism due to congenital 5-AR deficiency."

"text": "Boost Your Libido: 21 Foods to Increase Your Sex Drive Naturallyby Kyle O'Connor on April 15, 2009What you eat during the day has a big impact on how you perform between the sheets at night. While it’s still true that the most important thing you can do to boost your libido is eat a healthy diet and maintain a healthy weight, there are a number of specific foods that will have a direct effect on how amorous you feel. Some of these foods increase male and female sex hormones, while others elevate mood or boost sperm production. The most important foods, however, play a critical role in increasing blood flow. Sex drive is all about circuitry, and foods which stimulate your nervous and circulatory systems will send more blood flowing to your sex organs, resulting in enhanced sexual arousal and performance. Keep in mind, of course, that we are not medical professionals. You should always consult with your physician before making any dramatic changes to your diet. Photo by Still Burning Watermelon — Watermelon is rich with citrulline, an amino acid that helps improve blood flow to the heart and genitalia, as well as to the rest of the body. Citrulline is highly effective at relaxing blood vessels, producing an effect similar to drugs like Viagra. Result: Increased blood flow to your sexual organs."

"text": "Your Video is Loading Shortcuts to Revive Your Sex Life, Pt 1 (5:46)MORE FROM THIS EPISODEOrgasms are anything but simple. They require a complex dance of physical stimulation and reaction. When every link in the chain does its job, you experience a satisfying torrent of sensation. But, as our bodies age, the chances that one of those steps will be skipped increases, making an already elusive goal of achieving orgasm that much harder. And that’s if you even get that far — battling a diminished libido is often an additional, if not primary, challenge. From This Episode: How to Revive Your Flatlined Sex Life And there’s nothing to be ashamed about: 40 percent of women will experience a decline in libido. Well before women hit menopause, their bodies begin to make changes that affect hormone levels. The ovaries, which are the source of 50 percent of our testosterone, become less active, decreasing the production of the sex hormone that is key to our libido. As estrogen decreases, so does testosterone. It’s this decline in testosterone that’s really responsible for a reduced sex drive."

The basic units of proteins and peptides are amino acids, whereas steroids contain the gonane structure. Proteins are relatively large molecules and are water soluble, whereas steroids are small molecules and are generally soluble in organic solvents. Peptides are somewhere in between these two classes of hormones with respect to molecular weight and solubility. BASIC STRUCTURE AND CLASSIFICATION OF STEROIDSThe basic structure of steroids, gonane (cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene), has 17 carbons which are arranged as three six-member carbon rings to which a five-member carbon ring is attached (Fig. 1). Each carbon has one or two hydrogens attached. The gonane structure can be represented without showing the carbons and hydrogens, as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1. Chemical structure of gonane, the basic steroid nucleus."

Steroids have gotten a bad reputation Synthesized by the body from cholesterol, the naturally occurring end products of steroid metabolism in the human body include: Sex hormones, such as estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone. These hormones make reproduction possible and cause the expression of physical characteristics identifying an individual as male or female. Stress hormones, such as cortisol and epinephrine, that help the body protect itself against predators, infections, injury, cold, heat, and blood loss, and Growth hormones that interact with testosterone to encourage the growth of bone and increased muscle mass. Scientists have been able to synthesize many of the steroids and steroid hormones essential to the body since the 1930's. Steroid treatment has become nearly universal for inflammatory disease. But steroids are not only made by the body or available by injection, they also appear in food. Naturally Occurring Human Steroids The number of steroids appearing in food that are exactly the same as the steroids made by the human body is very low. Milk and milk products, specifically the dairy fat in butter and cheese, provides a very small amount of progesterone. This is the hormone that predominates in the first half of a woman's menstrual cycle and that supports the growth of the unborn child during pregnancy."

[ 2] In addition, testosterone is involved in health and well-being, [3] and the prevention of osteoporosis. [ 4] Insufficient levels of testosterone in men may lead to abnormalities including frailty and bone loss. Testosterone is a steroid from the androstane class containing a keto and hydroxyl groups at the three and seventeen positions respectively. It is biosynthesized in several steps from cholesterol and is converted in the liver to inactive metabolites. ["

Pheromones are odorous substances that are released on the skin of mammals (including humans), that can affect social and sexual behavior of other animals from the same species. They have been an interesting topic of debate among scientists and skeptics for some time now, and it is still not entirely conclusive. They often conjure up serious questions about the existence of such things, and whether it is a real or imagined phenomena. In this article, I will cover the main bases of current research on the topic, from a scientific point of view, as well as speculative conclusions as an enthusiast of several years. Speculative conclusions are made from what I can gather about them from research, as well as testing individual products & molecules and observing their effects.

"text": "What Is A Prohormone? April 10, 2013 by Mind Muscle Prohormones No Comment Prohormones also known as “andro” are a class of supplements that men over 21 can use to supplement their diet. These steroid products are often used by men to counter act the increasing amount of dietary estrogens in the diet from things like plastics, pesticides and other chemical “endocrine disrupters”. The modern male is under attack from these chemical estrogens, causing him to possibly have terrible side effects like inability to get fit, reduced sex drive or sperm count, obesity, weight gain and depression. Hopefully when you are done with this article you will know what is a prohormone. PROHORMONES HELP YOU GET RIPPEDAlong with proper diet and exercise, prohormones can be a valuable way to offset these chemical estrogens and get you on your way to looking and feeling your best. Of course to use prohormones to get in shape, you do need to have a diet that is high in protein and workout like a monster, because these help put you in a better frame of mind along with the prohormones on reaching your goals and are the most important factor involved in fitness. We suggest anyone who takes prohormones at least be 18, but better yet is 21 years old before starting any prohormone program, simply because it’s best if you are done growing naturally before you supplement with external steroids. LEGAL NATURAL VS. ILLEGAL METHYL PROHORMONESThere are two types of prohormones on the market today, legal and illegal."

Coenzyme-A Technologies Inc. has applied new technology to the formulation and manufacture of a series of proprietary products, which address nutritional deficiencies that result from the stress of modern day living, chemical imbalances within the body, and the effects of aging. These precursor nutraceutical products are the first to provide people with a balanced combination of highly active precursor nutritional components that can be used by the body to support its manufacture and utilization of Coenzyme-A. In addition, certain products also contain their own set of specific substances that support Coenzyme-A's correction or alleviation of particular problems associated with certain nutritional deficiencies. It's important to know why Coenzyme-A Technologies Inc. refers to Coenzyme-A as \"\"The Master Coenzyme precursor formula\"\"; the reason is set forth below. The human body is composed of trillions of cells. Each of these cells is made of various chemical molecules that perform certain vital biochemical functions as programmed by the cell's deoxyribonucleic acid molecule (DNA). Certain genetic instructions are transferred from DNA to the ribonucleic acid molecule (RNA) to facilitate the manufacture of amino acids into proteins (enzymes, structural molecules and polypeptide hormones). Millions of continuously occurring biochemical functions that are necessary to sustain life require the presence of enzymes. It is important to recognize that, as is the case with all chemicals, each enzyme's chemical structure, not its natural or synthetic source, determines its function. What is an enzyme?"

"text": "The Superpowers of Celery Published: Aug - 2013 Written By: Jim As one of the most nutritious of vegetables, celery is one that doesn’t get the recognition it deserves. Known for it’s popularity as a crunchy vessel for cheesy or peanut buttery-fillings or a tasty garnish, celery is more likely on the sidelines of your grocery list when it comes to planning healthy meals. Believe it or not, but from allergies to indigestion, this skinny green veggie has been used as a natural remedy for a variety of ailments since ancient times. Abundant in a slew of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and powerful anti-oxidants, this practically calorie-free veggie is called a “superfood” for good reason. LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE- Medical studies indicate that celery is shown to be an effective natural treatment for high blood pressure, with a significant decrease after 7 days of drinking celery juice each day. Numerous patients diagnosed with high blood pressure have also reported seeing a significant drop in their blood pressure levels, both systolic (top number) and diastolic (bottom number), after consuming celery on a daily basis. In a study conducted at the University of Chicago, researchers found that blood pressure readings dropped by 12-14% in the animals given the celery compound. Scientists credit the phtalides, a compound found in celery, which helps improve blood flow by relaxing the muscles around the arteries and expanding the blood vessels. REDUCE STRESS- One of the primary issues to address when it comes to reducing your blood pressure is to reduce the stress that your body is fighting in order to regulate the functioning of your circulatory system, particularly its key organ, your heart. Under stress, your heart must work harder to get its job done, and your heart rate and blood pressure rises."

They can be divided into three categories. They are carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. A carbohydrate consists of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) atoms, usually with a hydrogen–oxygen atom ratio of 2:1 (as in water). Carbohydrates are further divided into three groups including monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. Both monosaccharides and disaccharides are water soluble whereas polysaccharides are not soluble in water. In contrast, lipids are a diverse group of naturally occurring molecules that include fats, waxes, sterols, fat-soluble vitamins (such as vitamins A, D, E, and K), monoglycerides, diglycerides, triglycerides, phospholipids, and others. All these compounds are not soluble in water. This is the main difference between carbohydrates and lipids. Both carbohydrates and lipids act as the main fuels and energy storage compounds of the human body."

"text": "Next | Previous | Index Overview of Feline Bloodworkby Andrea Jensen Fall 2008Introduction Feline bloodwork is a common diagnostic tool used in the feline patient. It is often ordered as a geriatric screening for older cats that appear healthy, a pre-anesthesia screening, or as part of a set of diagnostics in systemically ill patients. As a geriatric screening, systemic imbalances such as hyperthyroidism or early liver or kidney disease can be caught before symptoms are present. Pre-anesthetic screenings are critical in the geriatric patient because most anesthetics are cleared by the liver and/or kidney, and can be life threatening in compromised patients. In a systemically ill patient, bloodwork can be essential in the process of ruling in or ruling out disease and assisting in the narrowing of the differential diagnoses list. It is unusual for bloodwork alone to provide a definitive diagnosis, but combined with the total clinical picture it can be extremely informative. Furthermore, even when bloodwork does not provide a primary diagnosis, it can often provide information about secondary imbalances that can be considered treatable symptoms (such as electrolyte imbalances). For a basic example, a vomiting cat may have low potassium secondary to vomiting and anorexia (not eating). The low potassium may lead to a set of tertiary symptoms, including muscle weakness, tachycardia, or arrhythmia, all of which can be immediately life threatening. In addition, the secondary and tertiary symptoms can mask the underlying cause of vomiting, and make it difficult to tell what the primary problem is."

"text": "\"Health Diseases & Conditions Other - Diseases Does liver cirrhosis cause anemia? Or why would a cirrhosis patient need a transfusion?1 following 9 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: 1. Does liver cirrhosis cause anemia? Some experts say that the complications of cirrhosis can cause the spleen to remove too many red blood cells from circulation or decrease production of red blood cells. It can also cause gastrointestinal bleeding which may lead to anemia. The thing is that If you look at symptoms of Cirrhosis as listed by credible organizations, anemia is not mentioned as a major symptom of Cirrhosis (Only rarely is it even mentioned as a less common or \"\"other\"\" symptom). One example of this: In the \"\"Cirrhosis of the Liver\"\" section of The National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse (part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which is part of the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services) there is no mention of anemia as a symptom or a complication of cirrhosis. Here's a link to that information, please verify: http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/cirrhosis/ You will find the same is true if you view the Cirrhosis information on other credible websites, including: Mayo Clinic: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/cirrhosis/DS00373/ American Gastrointestinal Association: http://www.gastro.org/wmspage.cfm?parm1=681 American Liver Foundation: http://www.liverfoundation.org/education/info/cirrhosis/ In anemic patients, If your red cell count falls dangerously low, a blood transfusion may be the only way to raise your hemoglobin quickly. For some types of anemia (such as thalassemia major, aplastic anemia, or sickle cell disease) regular blood transfusions may be required to manage anemia and to avoid serious complications. If cirrhosis of the liver is caused by Hepatitis C, there is a good chance that the anemia is actually being caused by the antiviral treatment, for instance the drug Ribavirin is known to cause mild anemia, but usually not to the point you would need a transfusion."

"text": "Taken within the context of modern food culture, Paleo can easily start to seem like an endless list of limitations: no grains, no legumes, no seed oils, no processed foods… Paleo appears to be a series of restrictions or deviations from the “normal” diet that everyone would presumably eat otherwise. But Paleo only appears restrictive in the context of a warped food system that floods our diet with toxins because it privileges industrial profits over human health. Despite this less than ideal context, defining “health” as simply avoiding these toxins is short-sighted and ultimately misleading. The absence of toxins is a prerequisite for health, but the normal functions of the human body also require the presence of nutrients. Paleo, in other words, can also be defined by what we do eat: enough energy and nutrients to support vibrant physical and mental health. With this different attitude toward food comes a focus on maintaining a well-balanced nutritional framework, rather than simply avoiding junk. This framework consists of two types of nutrients: macronutrients (protein, fat, and carbohydrates), which supply energy in the form of calories, and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals), which support the various biochemical processes in your body. An ideal diet should provide enough micro- and macronutrients to keep your body healthy and strong. Keeping track of macronutrients is fairly simple – there are only three, and most people have a rough idea of what kinds of foods supply which ones. But tracking every single micronutrient in your diet to make sure you meet your RDA would be impossibly tedious."

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.

"text": "\"Erythrocytes The erythrocyte, commonly known as a red blood cell (or RBC), is by far the most common formed element: A single drop of blood contains millions of erythrocytes and just thousands of leukocytes. Specifically, males have about 5.4 million erythrocytes per microliter ( µ L) of blood, and females have approximately 4.8 million per µ L. In fact, erythrocytes are estimated to make up about 25 percent of the total cells in the body. As you can imagine, they are quite small cells, with a mean diameter of only about 7–8 micrometers ( µ m) ( [link] ). The primary functions of erythrocytes are to pick up inhaled oxygen from the lungs and transport it to the body’s tissues, and to pick up some (about 24 percent) carbon dioxide waste at the tissues and transport it to the lungs for exhalation. Erythrocytes remain within the vascular network. Although leukocytes typically leave the blood vessels to perform their defensive functions, movement of erythrocytes from the blood vessels is abnormal. Shape and Structure of Erythrocytes As an erythrocyte matures in the red bone marrow, it extrudes its nucleus and most of its other organelles. During the first day or two that it is in the circulation, an immature erythrocyte, known as a reticulocyte, will still typically contain remnants of organelles. Reticulocytes should comprise approximately 1–2 percent of the erythrocyte count and provide a rough estimate of the rate of RBC production, with abnormally low or high rates indicating deviations in the production of these cells. These remnants, primarily of networks (reticulum) of ribosomes, are quickly shed, however, and mature, circulating erythrocytes have few internal cellular structural components."

If you’re interested in playing a more active role in your medical care — something I strongly recommend — then I suggest you save this! The next time you have blood work done; you’ll be able to read the results like a pro!Blood tests, sometimes called blood panels, are one of a physician’s most basic tools. Not that long ago, doctors diagnosed patients through observation and the patients’ answers to questions. Today, we have a wide range of testing options to choose from, with blood tests being among the most basic. Blood tests allow a doctor to see a detailed analysis of any disease markers, the nutrients and waste products in your blood as well as how various organs (e.g., kidneys and liver) are functioning. Below, I’ve explained some of the commonly measured indicators of health. During a physical examination, your doctor will often draw blood for chemistry and complete blood count (CBC) tests as well as a lipid profile, which measures cholesterol and related elements. Here is a brief explanation of the abbreviations used in measurements followed by descriptions of several common test components."

This test is typically used as a measure of tissue damage in an individual. It may be used to measure acute tissue damage, which has occurred due to a recent illness or injury. It may also be used to measure chronic tissue damage which has occurred due to a debilitating and progressive condition. Because of this function, the LDH test may also be used to measure and detect the rate of progression of such a condition based on the rate at which the results are progressing. The LDH blood test is carried out under instruction from a doctor when there is sufficient evidence to point to cellular or tissue damage. The level of LDH has to be elevated in order to confirm that there is some sort of damage in the body. However, the LDH level alone may not be able to pin point the exact location of the damage or injury. A further test or series of tests may be ordered to locate the area where the damage has occurred."

In people with anemia, the blood does not carry enough oxygen to the rest of the body. As a result, people with anemia feel tired, along with other symptoms, because their bodies are not receiving enough oxygen. In severe or prolonged cases of anemia, the lack of oxygen in the blood can cause serious and sometimes fatal damage to the heart and other organs of the body. RBCs also are called erythrocytes. RBCs are disk-shaped and look like doughnuts without a hole in the center. They are produced continually in the spongy marrow inside the large bones of the body and normally last 120 days.

Alcohol and viral hepatitis B and C are common causes of cirrhosis, although there are many other causes. Cirrhosis can cause weakness, loss of appetite, easy bruising, yellowing of the skin ( jaundice ), itching, and fatigue. Diagnosis of cirrhosis can be suggested by history, physical examination and blood tests, and can be confirmed by liver biopsy. Complications of cirrhosis include edema and ascites, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, bleeding from varices, hepatic encephalopathy, hepatorenal syndrome, hepatopulmonary syndrome, hypersplenism, and liver cancer. Treatment of cirrhosis is designed to prevent further damage to the liver, treat complications of cirrhosis, and preventing or detecting liver cancer early. Transplantation of the liver is an important option for treating patients with advanced cirrhosis.

"text": "\"What do my blood tests mean? This is a question almost everyone with lupus will ask especially at the beginning of their journey to better health. Unless you are in the medical field and studied rheumatic diseases, you probably have never heard of some of the blood tests associated with diagnosing, and managing lupus. Due to the complexities of SLE, there are many blood tests that need to be regularly run just to keep track of where, how, and how badly the disease is affecting your body. Lupus can go into any part or organ of the human body, making it impossible to predict, but with the use of proper and continual testing, our specialists can keep track of lupus and manage it properly.http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/healthlibrary/conditions/adult/arthritis_and_other_rheumatic_diseases/systemic_lupus_erythematosus_lupus_85Lupus is difficult to diagnose because of the vagueness of the symptoms each person might have. There is no single test that can diagnose lupus. A diagnosis is usually confirmed based on a complete medical history, reported symptoms, and a physical examination that may include the following: Blood test (to detect for certain antibodies that are present in most people with lupus)Blood and urine tests (to assess kidney function)Complement test (to measure the level of complement, a group of proteins in the blood that help destroy foreign substances; low levels of complement in the blood are often associated with lupus)X-rays - a diagnostic test which uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs onto film. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (also called ESR or sed rate) - a measurement of how quickly red blood cells fall to the bottom of a test tube. When swelling and inflammation are present, the blood's proteins clump together and become heavier than normal. Thus, when measured, they fall and settle faster at the bottom of the test tube."

"text": "The anesthesiologist is a medical doctor who, after medical school and internship, has chosen to specialize in anesthesiology. All anesthesiologists have at least three years of training after medical school; most have four years, and a few have more. It is the anesthesiologist’s job to keep you safe and comfortable during surgery and recovery from anesthesia. Once you enter the operating room, the anesthesiologist never leaves your side until you are safe and stable in the postanesthesia care unit. The anesthesiologist always monitors your heart rhythm, blood pressure, the amount of oxygen in your blood, temperature and your level of consciousness. When patients are completely asleep (under a general anesthetic), the anesthesiologist monitors each breath by measuring the volume of breath exhaled and the amount of carbon dioxide in each breath. In some cases, the anesthesiologist may monitor the amount of blood your heart is pumping and the blood pressure inside your lung vessels. During a few large neurosurgical or orthopedic procedures, the anesthesiologist monitors neurological function. The anesthesiologist keeps the patient “asleep” or unconscious during surgery by administering a few or several anesthetic drugs. Some are given intravenously; others are mixed with the oxygen the patient breathes."

As to the advantages of specialties to the science of medicine there can be but one opinion; that \"\"division of labor,\"\" that has accomplished so much in the history of all the other sciences, must give like results in the broad field of medicine… however, there is great diversity of opinion as to its benefits to the profession. The chief objection brought against specialties is that they operate unfairly toward the general practitioner, in implying that he is incompetent to properly treat certain classes of diseases, and narrowing his field of practice… It is natural that in any change from old-beaten paths, there should be some temporary confusion, but it is thought that as soon as the relations between special and general practice become better adjusted, and they settle down into their appropriate spheres of work, as they shortly will do, great advantage will accrue, even to the general practitioner; the number of his patients and the amount of work will not be diminished, but his practice will only be circumscribed in the variety of his cases. The Committee, therefore, are of the opinion that specialties are destined not only to advance the science of medicine, but to elevate and improve the profession; and they think it due, both to them and the public, that this Association-known as the highest medical authority in the country-should give them its official sanction. Report of the Committee on Specialties, American Medical Association, 1869 [1]. Specialization has been controversial throughout the history of medicine. William Osler pointed to evidence of it in the Ebers papyrus written more than 3000 yr ago [2]. It was certainly contentious when medieval physicians made distinctions between apothecaries and barber-surgeons."

"text": "\"Regional or General Anesthesia: Which is Preferred for Hip or Knee Replacement Surgery? Categories: Uncategorized One of the preoperative decisions prior to hip or knee replacement surgery is what type of anesthesia will be administered. Before your surgery is scheduled, your anesthesiologist will review your past medical history, give you an exam and then discuss the type of anesthesia recommended for you. Ultimately, the final decision is made jointly between you and your anesthesiologist. General anesthesia involves a complete loss of consciousness, while regional anesthesia numbs a specific area of the body without altering brain or breathing functions. Occasionally, an anesthesiologist will strongly recommend one over the other because a of patient’s current medical condition or because of the type of procedure. At first, many of my patients say to me, “Just knock me out; I don’t want to remember anything.” That’s when I explain that even if a regional anesthetic is used, they will be given sedatives, will be asleep throughout the procedure and will not remember the surgery. Prior to choosing which anesthesia is best for you, your doctor should consider several factors including: Have you had anesthesia before, what type and what was your reaction/experience? Do you smoke, drink or use recreational drugs?"

Anesthesia is given to patients to prevent them from experiencing pain during surgery, labor and delivery, and other medical procedures. Anesthesiologists monitor patients during surgery and adjust dosages of anesthesia when needed. Anesthesiologists must also be capable of making decisions about the proper anesthesia to administer for each patient and procedure, and be highly skilled in appropriate dosage amounts. Sometimes, anesthesiologists work with patients in pain management areas, administering pain medication to them. Anesthesiologists work side by side with surgeons, operating room nurses and other members of surgical teams. Generally, anesthesiologists are employed in hospitals, but many work in outpatient surgical facilities. Because anesthesiologists often work in hospitals, their hours can be varied. Emergency surgeries and labors and deliveries of babies can occur around the clock; therefore, an anesthesiologist might work nights, weekends, and holidays. When thinking about a career in anesthesiology, potential candidates should have excellent communication skills, since they will need to discuss procedures with patients who are often nervous about surgery."

Anesthesiologists can also specialize in specific areas of practice within their fields, such as sleep medicine and hospice care. Job Description Anesthesiologists meet patients before medical procedures to administer sedatives. During procedures, they remain and monitor their patient’s level of sedation along with their vital signs. After procedures, they are present in the recovery suite to ensure their patient’s comfort and safety and to adjust pain medications. Anesthesiologists also manage pain for patients in intensive care and often manage comfort for mothers in labor.

"text": "Background Angiodysplasia is the most common vascular lesion of the gastrointestinal tract, and this condition may be asymptomatic, or it may cause gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. [ 1] The vessel walls are thin, with little or no smooth muscle, and the vessels are ectatic and thin (see image below). Angiodysplasia identified on the cecum wall during colonoscopy. View Media Gallery Phillips first described a vascular abnormality that caused bleeding from the large bowel in a letter to the London Medical Gazette in 1839. During the 1920s, neoplasms were considered the major source of GI hemorrhage. However, in the 1940s and 1950s, diverticular disease was recognized as an important source of bleeding. In 1951, Smith described active bleeding from a diverticulum visualized through a sigmoidoscope. An association between colonic angiodysplasia and aortic stenosis was described by Heyde in 1958. [ 2]Vascular abnormalities as a source of active bleeding were once considered controversial. In 1960, Margulis and colleagues identified a vascular malformation in the cecum of a 69-year-old woman who presented with massive bleeding. ["

"text": "Gastrointestinal Bleeding Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is a common clinical problem frequently requiring hospitalization. It can vary in degrees, from massive life threatening hemorrhage to a slow, insidious chronic blood loss. The overall mortality for severe GI bleeding is approximately 8 percent, but this number is diminishing with the arrival of superior diagnostic techniques and newer medical treatments. Many bleeding episodes resolve on their own, but it is still imperative that the bleeding site be determined. An exact diagnosis may prevent a recurrence of bleeding and may help us treat future episodes more effectively. Also, making an accurate diagnosis can allow a patient to be treated appropriately for the underlying condition that caused the bleeding in the first place. What are the symptoms? The symptoms of GI bleeding depend on the acuteness and on the source of the blood loss. Mild, chronic GI blood loss may not show any active bleeding, but can still result in an iron deficiency anemia. Many of these patients never notice any blood loss, but it occurs in small amounts with the bowel movement, so that it is not noticeable."

"text": "Angiodysplasia is a medical condition in which the intestine is malformed or twisted, causing blood vessels to enlarge and become fragile and eventually causing tears or lesions in the intestinal wall. It is also sometimes known as a vascular ectasia of the colon, a colonic arteriovenous malformation, or a colonic angioma. Sometimes it’s caused by other intestinal disorders, but more often it’s simply a factor of aging; the intestinal walls weaken with age and repeated use, and the majority of people with the condition are over the age of 50. In terms of specifics, the erosion often occurs in the cecum or ascending colon, but can occur in the small intestine as well. Multiple lesions usually happen at once, but they’re really small and can be difficult to diagnose. Most of the time the condition is painless, too, so people don’t necessarily realize they’re afflicted until body scans show or other symptoms start emerging. Some medications and in-office procedures can help reverse the condition, but in extensive or advanced cases surgery is often recommended. Main Causes The disease is thought to be related to degeneration of the blood vessels due to age, as it most typically occurs in adults over the age of 50. Another likely cause is obstruction of the veins in the colon due to tension on the intestinal wall as it becomes larger. It rarely is associated with other intestinal disorders, such as diverticulosis or colon cancer."

Hematochezia is the medical term when there is a fresh blood found in the stool or just a passage of fresh blood in the anus. Sometimes when a person defecates, they will not notice the bloody streaks in their stool but when wiping the anus, they will see the fresh blood. This symptom is often associated with lower gastrointestinal bleeding. The usual color of feces is from light to dark brown. The feces contain decomposed foods and bilirubin. Sometimes, the color of the feces changes because of the foods eaten and the amount of fats excreted by the body. But blood coming out from the anus may signal bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract. Sometimes, the blood in the stool cannot be seen by the naked eye but through a fecal occult blood test, it can be determined."

"text": "\"Iron-Deficiency Anemia Iron is very important in maintaining many body functions, including the production of hemoglobin, the molecule in your blood that carries oxygen. Iron is also necessary to maintain healthy cells, skin, hair, and nails. Iron from the food you eat is absorbed into the body by the cells that line the gastrointestinal tract; the body only absorbs a small fraction of the iron you ingest. The iron is then released into the blood stream, where a protein called transferrin attaches to it and delivers the iron to the liver. Iron is stored in the liver as ferritin and released as needed to make new red blood cells in the bone marrow. When red blood cells are no longer able to function (after about 120 days in circulation), they are re-absorbed by the spleen. Iron from these old cells can also be recycled by the body. Jump To: Am I at Risk? Iron deficiency is very common, especially among women and in people who have a diet that is low in iron. The following groups of people are at highest risk for iron-deficiency anemia: Women who menstruate, particularly if menstrual periods are heavy Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding or those who have recently given birth People who have undergone major surgery or physical trauma People with gastrointestinal diseases such as celiac disease (sprue), inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis, or Crohn disease People with peptic ulcer disease People who have undergone bariatric procedures, especially gastric bypass operations Vegetarians, vegans, and other people whose diets do not include iron-rich foods (Iron from vegetables, even those that are iron-rich, is not absorbed as well as iron from meat, poultry, and fish. )"

The purpose of this article is to review the roles of angiography, embolization, and various ancillary techniques in evaluating and managing gastrointestinal hemorrhage. CONCLUSION. Nonvariceal gastrointestinal hemorrhage typically resolves spontaneously or responds to medical or endoscopic management. Refractory hemorrhage may require angiography and transcatheter intervention. Noninvasive imaging evaluation may be useful for characterizing the bleeding source and confirming the presence of active hemorrhage before angiography. If a bleeding source is angiographically identified, superselective catheterization with embolization is typically effective in controlling hemorrhage while minimizing complications.

"text": "Drugs & Diseases > Gastroenterology Lower Gastrointestinal Bleeding Treatment & Management Updated: Aug 28, 2017Author: Burt Cagir, MD, FACS; Chief Editor: BS Anand, MD more... Print Approach Considerations Patients who are hemodynamically unstable with active bleeding should be admitted to the medical intensive care unit (MICU). Early consultation with both a gastroenterologist and a surgeon is recommended. The management of lower gastrointestinal bleeding (LGIB) has three components, as follows: Resuscitation and initial assessment Localization of the bleeding site Therapeutic intervention to stop bleeding at the site With advances in diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy and angiography, the ability to localize and subsequently treat LGIB has resulted in improved patient outcomes and reduced healthcare costs. [ 22] The need for surgery also has been significantly reduced. The sequence of using these modalities depends on the patient's clinical status, the rate of bleeding, and local expertise in specific surgical and nonsurgical procedures. Using any one modality should not preclude the subsequent use of another modality if required. In case of surgery, preoperative localization of bleeding is essential, because segmental colectomies performed after bleeding is localized are associated with the lowest morbidity and mortality. Massive LGIB is a life-threatening condition; although this condition manifests as maroon stools or bright red blood from the rectum, patients with massive upper GI bleeding (UGIB) may also present with similar findings. Regardless of the level of the bleeding, one of the most important elements in the management of patients with massive UGIB or LGIB is the initial resuscitation. These patients should receive two large-bore intravenous (IV) catheters and isotonic crystalloid infusions."

By definition, the cecum (and appendix) and ano-rectum, which are parts of the large intestine, are not included in the colon. Embryologically, the colon develops partly from the midgut (ascending colon to proximal transverse colon) and partly from the hind gut (distal transverse colon to sigmoid colon). On plain abdominal radiographs, the colon is seen to be filled with air and some fecal material. The colon is identified with haustra (irregular incomplete sacculations confer regular complete valvulae conniventes in jejunum). The colon anatomy is displayed in the image below. Colon anatomy, front of abdomen. Ascending colon The ascending (right) colon lies vertically in the most lateral right part of the abdominal cavity, occupying the right iliac fossa, right lumbar region and right hypochondrium. The proximal blind end (pouch) of the ascending colon is called the cecum. The ascending colon takes a right-angled turn just below the liver (right colic or hepatic flexure) and becomes the transverse colon, which has a horizontal course from right to left, occupying the right hypochondrium, epigastrium, and left hypochondrium."

"text": "Bright Red Blood In Stool Causes You may have rectal bleeding or hematochezia, a condition wherein bright red blood passes through the anus, often mixed with feces and or blood clots. The condition is called rectal bleeding since the rectum (the last 15 cm of the colon or large intestine) lies just above the anus. However, the blood could not only originate from the rectum but can also come from other parts of the gastrointestinal system such as the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and the large intestine. The color of blood in your stool can indicate where the bleeding occur in your gastrointestinal tract. If your stool has bright red blood, it indicates that the bleeding occur within the anus, rectal area, or the sigmoid colon (part of the large intestine closest to the rectum). On the other hand, if your stool has black, tarry (sticky), and foul smelling blood, it indicates that the bleeding occur in the upper digestive tract consisting of the right colon, stomach, and the esophagus. The blood turned black and smelly because it stayed long enough in the digestive tract to be acted upon by bacteria. The tarry stool is called melena, produced by bacterial breakdown of blood cells. Small or mild amount of bright red blood in your stool (a spoon or two) is not dangerous but you should report it to your doctor to get treatment advice. Rectal bleeding becomes dangerous if you pass several bowel movements or a single bowel movement containing a large amount of blood; this can cause a decrease of blood pressure that could lead to a fatal medical shock."

"text": "Gastrointestinal Bleeding Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is a common clinical problem frequently requiring hospitalization. It can vary in degrees, from massive life threatening hemorrhage to a slow, insidious chronic blood loss. The overall mortality for severe GI bleeding is approximately 8 percent, but this number is diminishing with the arrival of superior diagnostic techniques and newer medical treatments. Many bleeding episodes resolve on their own, but it is still imperative that the bleeding site be determined. An exact diagnosis may prevent a recurrence of bleeding and may help us treat future episodes more effectively. Also, making an accurate diagnosis can allow a patient to be treated appropriately for the underlying condition that caused the bleeding in the first place. What are the symptoms? The symptoms of GI bleeding depend on the acuteness and on the source of the blood loss. Mild, chronic GI blood loss may not show any active bleeding, but can still result in an iron deficiency anemia. Many of these patients never notice any blood loss, but it occurs in small amounts with the bowel movement, so that it is not noticeable."

"text": "\"Pan Pacific/Flickr Most of us go to the grocery store to buy beef or order beef at a restaurant without thinking too much about where it came from. Few people know about breeds of cattle, inspection and grading processes, or the marketing that goes on behind the scenes. This is why, when fast food chains and hot dog makers start throwing about a term like \"\"Angus\"\" there is going to be problems and there is going to be confusion. There is even a brand of dog food that touts itself as Angus. What Is Angus? Angus is a breed of cattle. It is not a quality of beef. It does not imply that the beef is organic, natural, or of a higher grade than any other type of beef. Angus cattle were specifically bred from the indigenous cattle of Scotland by Hugh Watson in the mid-nineteenth century. It is believed that nearly all the Black Angus cattle alive today came from the results of his attempts to maximize the black hide of these animals."

"text": "\"St. Andrew's Cross A remarkable lesson in stoicism St. Andrew's Crossalso called a Saltire It is believed that the apostle Andrew was crucified on a saltire (X-shaped) cross; hence the name St. Andrew's Cross. He is said to have told his executioners that he was not worthy to be crucified on the same cross style as Jesus, and persuaded them to alter the shape. If this is true, it's a remarkable example of stoicism displayed by a man, no doubt beaten and starved, yet retaining the mental energy to plead such a thing with his brutal executioners. Detailed records of his crucifixion only date back to the Middle Ages, and these records are influenced be the imagination of the medieval artists. But even if the origin is a myth, the cross shape reminds Christians that they should exercise humility. In Greek, the first letter for Christ (Chi) also happens to be 'X'-shaped, as in the Chi Rho Cross. Instead of simply saying that something is 'X-shaped' or 'saltire', the term 'St. Andrew's Cross' is used for several items that have absolutely nothing to do with St. Andrew or even religion. For example, there's argiope kiyserlingi and the argiope mangal - a tiny, brightly striped spider found in the mangroves of Singapore. These are commonly known as 'St. Andrew's Spiders' because they hold their eight legs in pairs, forming an X shape. Then there's the hypericum hypericoides, a small shrub of the St. John's-wort family."

George Young, his other older brother, taught Malcolm and Angus guitar on his breaks from touring with his band, the Easybeats.

This was the first band to record Demo takes for Stevie Wrights classic \"\"Evie\"\" at the request of George Young. The band split and was later called Tantrum with the following line up: Mark Sneddon (vocals-guitar), Angus Young (guitar), Jon Stevens (bass) and Trevor James (drums)..

Who could have imagined, at that time, that all these years later AC/DC would still be churning out some of the world’s greatest riff-rock? Through the years, legions of guitar players and fans have delved deeply into Angus’ background, perhaps looking for the secrets behind his artful riff-making. Still, we managed to uncover some biographical facts that might have escaped all but the most diehard followers. He still owns the very first Gibson SG he bought – 42 years ago. Young purchased a late ’60s Gibson SG from a music shop located within walking distance of his family’s home in Sydney, Australia, when he was just 16 years old. To this day, it remains one of his main go-to guitars. “ I think it was the little devil horns [that sold me],” he told the New Zealand Herald, in 2010. “ I’ve still got it and it’s still my favorite guitar of them all. ”His main pre-AC/DC job prepared him well for the band’s bawdy lyrical content."

Ulu r u rises 348 metres above the plain, more than 860 metres above sea level. That's higher than the Eiffel Tower in Paris or the Chrysler Building in New York. How wide is Ulu r u? If you walk right around the base of Ulu r u, you'll find it has a circumference of 9.4 kilometres. That's about 5.8 miles. When did Ulu r u become a national park? In 1950 Ayers Rock, today known as Ulu r u, was declared a national park. In 1958 both Ayers Rock and Mt Olga (Kata Tju t a) were excised from an Aboriginal reserve to form the Ayers Rock Mt Olga National Park. It took more than 35 years campaigning for A n angu to be recognised as the park's traditional owners and given the deeds back to their land."

That’s the question sentient Americans must be asking as Mc Donald’s rolls out its new line of Angus Third Pounder burgers, made from 100 percent Angus beef. Well, Angus cattle are heavily hyped and marketed for having richer, more fat-marbled flesh. Which means this burger, which costs $4, is supposed to be superpremium. I tasted an Angus burger side by side with a regular Mc Donald’s hamburger and a Wendy’s hamburger, and the Angus stood out as being significantly more enjoyable. ( I tried the Angus Deluxe, which has American cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes; the other two varieties are Bacon & Cheese and Mushroom & Swiss. ) The Wendy’s burger was the saltiest of the three, with a low-grade-meat snap or crunch to it and a cheap, fluffy bun. The regular Mc Donald’s burger was somber and gray—dry, flat, a bit mealy—and much smaller than the Angus Third Pounder. From a burger-for-dollar perspective, the Angus was a better deal even before differences in quality were factored in. The Angus, by contrast, had an almost whipped texture to it."

Ron Moses, Merrimack, NH; adamemalone Una replies: I wondered about these questions myself, so I decided to do some research and find out the answers for all of us.

According to a 2013 Firebox Research and Strategy report, 94% of people surveyed recognized the logo. That makes it the #1 most recognized brand of Beef in existence.

Most cattle will be black; however, a red color has emerged as of late. In the United States, however, the Black Angus and Red Angus are both considered separate breeds, while the United Kingdom views both of these colors as the same. Being the most common breed of beef cattle, there were more than 324,000 registered in 2005.“ 20130712-AMS-LSC-0415 ” ( CC BY 2.0 ) by USDAgov How much does a black angus cow cost? The cost will depend on the age, gender, the size, where it’s being purchased from and geographical location. On average, plan on spending anywhere from $800 to as much as $3,000+ per, with bulls being 50 to 70 percent more than a cow. An open Angus heifer calf, for example, can cost anywhere from $1,400 to as much as $1,800, while a full grown Hereford bull can cost upwards of $3,400."

"text": "On This Page What is the Problem? Who's at Risk? How Can Risk Be Reduced? The Bottom Line Case Example What is the problem? Anhydrous ammonia, a colorless gas with pungent, suffocating fumes, is used as an agricultural fertilizer and industrial refrigerant. When handled improperly, anhydrous ammonia can be immediately dangerous to life or health. As liquid anhydrous ammonia is released from its container into the air, it expands rapidly, forming a large cloud that acts like a heavier-than-air gas for a period of time. Because the vapors hug the ground initially, the chances for humans to be exposed are greater than with other gases. Symptoms of anhydrous ammonia exposure include:eye, nose, and throat irritationbreathing difficulty, wheezing, or chest painpulmonary edema, pink frothy sputumburns, blisters and frostbite. Exposure can be fatal at high concentrations."

The ships, basically oil tankers, had been converted by fitting small, riveted, pressure vessels for the carriage of LPG into cargo tank spaces. This enabled transport over long distances of substantial volumes of an oil refinery by-product that had distinct advantages as a domestic and commercial fuel. LPG is not only odourless and non-toxic, it also has a high calorific value and a low sulphur content, making it very clean and efficient when being burnt. Today, most fully pressurised oceangoing LPG carriers are fitted with two or three horizontal, cylindrical or spherical cargo tanks and have typical capacities between 3,500 and 7,500 m 3 (120,000 and 260,000 cu ft). However, in recent years a number of larger-capacity fully pressurised ships have been built, most notably a series of 10,800 m 3 (380,000 cu ft) ships, built in Japan between 2003 and 2013. Fully pressurised ships are still being built in numbers and represent a cost-effective, simple way of moving LPG to and from smaller gas terminals."

When hydrated, the salt takes on a deep magenta color. This property makes cobalt chloride a very popular moisture indicator in desiccants. Although relatively stable, this compound poses several hazards to the human health, capable of damaging the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. It is also especially dangerous to aquatic environments. Despite these hazards, cobalt chloride is utilized in several ways; besides its presence in desiccants, the cobalt chloride is used as a reagent, in studies of the human body, and as a basis of creating other cobalt compounds. Contents [ hide ]1 Properties2 Synthesis3 Uses4 Hazards5 Video6 References Properties Cobalt (II) chloride in its hydrated form. Cobalt chloride is an inorganic compound that can act as a weakly acidic salt. [ 1] One of its most distinct properties is the significant difference in color between the anhydrous (lacking water) and hydrous forms. [ 2] The initial appearance of cobalt chloride is a light blue powder, but when hydrated with water molecules, it becomes a deep purple-magenta. ["

These lower prices could translate into roughly a $10 per acre saving in nitrogen fertilizer for the coming 2018 production year. Further savings may be possible for those farms who are applying above recommended nitrogen rates and are willing to cut fertilizer application rates. University recommendations suggest nitrogen application rates well below 200 pounds in northern and central Illinois. Anhydrous Ammonia Prices Average anhydrous ammonia prices in Illinois are reported approximately twice a month in the Illinois Production Cost Report, a publication of the Agricultural Marketing Service, an agency of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. In the November 10 report, the anhydrous ammonia price was reported at an average of $405 per ton, with an offer range from $343 per ton up to $440 per ton. Anhydrous ammonia prices have averaged $404 per ton during the months of September, October, and November of 2017. The $404 per ton average in 2017 is considerably lower than fall prices in recent years. AMS has been reporting anhydrous ammonia prices since 2008 (see Figure 1)."

"text": "Home »Produce Examples of Artificial Fertilizers By D. C. Winston; Updated September 21, 2017Artificial fertilizers are those products that use chemical compounds to synthetically mimic natural minerals and elements found in the soil for optimal plant growth. Synthetic fertilizers tend to have higher and faster acting doses than the similar compounds found naturally occurring in soil or organic fertilizers so they are used sparingly according to recommended doses. Artificial fertilizers come in a range of forms from liquids, to water soluble granules to slow-release coated granules. All artificial fertilizers are sold with a three-number guaranteed analysis (such as 10-10-10) that represents the amount of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium respectively. Fast-Acting Fertilizer This is the most common form of artificial fertilizer and is produced in a broad range of formulations and specialty blends such as those for fruit trees, indoor plants, flowering plants, palms, lawn grass and acid-loving plants. It typically comes in granular or crystalline form that is dissolved by water and is deposited on top of the soil or into the planting soil and then watered in. These typically require regular or repeated applications throughout the growing season. An example of this type of fertilizer is Miracle Gro. Slow-Release Fertilizers Slow-release fertilizers are similar formulations to fast-acting fertilizers but the active ingredients are manufactured with coatings that do not dissolve immediately upon contact with water. Slow-release fertilizers degrade gradually over a period of three to six months."

It is both manufactured and also produced naturally by bacteria, decaying plants and animals, and animal waste. In its natural form, ammonia is found in water, soil, and air, and is a source of nitrogen for plants and animals. It is commonly sold in liquid form and is a corrosive chemical. The chemical formula for ammonia is NH 3 . When ammonia is manufactured, it is primarily used to make fertilizer. It is used to manufacture synthetic fibers, textiles, pulp and paper, pesticides, explosives, smelling salts, cleaning products, rocket fuel, fuel cells, and some foods and beverages. Ammonia is also used to make other chemicals, including nitric acid and cyanide."

This is a much higher concentration compared to other nutrients. Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, nutrients that don’t play a significant role in most soil fertility management programs, are the only other nutrients present in higher concentrations. Nitrogen is so vital because it is a major component of chlorophyll, the compound by which plants use sunlight energy to produce sugars from water and carbon dioxide (i.e., photosynthesis). It is also a major component of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Without proteins, plants wither and die. Some proteins act as structural units in plant cells while others act as enzymes, making possible many of the biochemical reactions on which life is based. Nitrogen is a component of energy-transfer compounds, such as ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP allows cells to conserve and use the energy released in metabolism. Finally, nitrogen is a significant component of nucleic acids such as DNA, the genetic material that allows cells (and eventually whole plants) to grow and reproduce."

"text": "\"United States: Environmental And Safety Regulations: What You Need To Know About Ammonia Used In Food And Beverage Manufacturing Last Updated: May 22 2014 Article by Elizabeth M. Rothenberg, Bernadette M. Rappold and Donald D. Anderson Mc Guire Woods LLPA release of ammonia poses grave risks to company employees and potentially to neighbors and communities. The deadly ammonium nitrate explosion in April 2013 at a fertilizer plant in West, Texas, killed 15 people and nearly leveled the town. The U. S. Chemical Safety Board's later determinations – that \"\"an intense fire in a wooden warehouse building ... led to the detonation of approximately 30 tons of [ammonium nitrate] stored inside in wooden bins\"\" and that the building lacked a sprinkler system, sparking national outrage and prompting state and federal regulators to sharpen their focus on manufacturers' environmental and safety programs. Food and beverage makers are not immune to this heightened scrutiny, especially facilities that utilize anhydrous ammonia as a refrigerant. This form of ammonia is deemed extremely or highly hazardous under a variety of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) programs. Take, for example, a recent enforcement action by EPA against a major food manufacturer stemming from eight separate incidents between 2006 and 2010 in which accidental releases of anhydrous ammonia at a number of the company's facilities allegedly resulted in property damage, multiple injuries and one fatality. Food manufacturers using anhydrous ammonia as a refrigerant must comply with specific EPA and OSHA regulations that require the development and implementation of detailed plans to prevent the release of these substances, and to report and manage them when they occur. They must also comply with a \"\"general duty\"\" to manage the risks associated with the chemical. EPA Regulation and Enforcement Anhydrous ammonia, if present or used above quantities specified in the applicable regulations, triggers several right-to-know requirements under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA). EPCRA, enacted in 1986 after a catastrophic leak of methyl isocyanate killed nearly 8,000 people in Bhopal, India, was created to help communities plan for emergencies involving hazardous substances."

Permalink: http://farmdocdaily.illinois.edu/2016/04/averages-and-seasonality-of-prices-nitrogen.html From 2009 through 2015, anhydrous ammonia had an average price equal to $.45 per pound of actual nitrogen (N). This $.45 price was lower than the prices for urea ($.54 per pound) and liquid N ($.61 per pound). From 2009 through 2015, nitrogen prices averaged less in the fall than in the spring. Often, applying anhydrous ammonia in the fall is one of the lowest cost methods of placing nitrogen on fields. Benefits from a combination of higher yields or lower application rates need to be obtained to cause spring and early summer applications to be competitive with fall applications. Anhydrous Ammonia Prices Prices used in this article are from the bi-weekly Illinois Production Cost Report, a publication of the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), an agency of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. AMS began reporting prices in September 2008. Since that starting point, anhydrous ammonia prices varied."

Lafayette, IN 47907-1150 Internet address: [email protected] Many corn fields receive nitrogen fertilizer each year in Indiana after the corn has emerged. Traditionally this means sidedressing anhydrous ammonia when the corn is 6 to 18 inches tall. A number of questions arise each year as to what fertilizers should be used, how the material should be applied, etc. The following are some of the common questions received each year and the answers normally provided. What are the advantages to sidedressing or delaying N application until after the crop is established? There are two primary advantages to a delayed N application; increased utilization of the fertilizer by the crop and the opportunity to use the time required for preplant applications for corn planting. This is especially important in wet springs where time is critical and N loss may be high. Does it always pay to sidedress?"

"text": "Myths and truths about NH3 fertilizer Ag Professional May 10, 2011 10:40 AMPrint Anhydrous ammonia (AA) is the most widely used nitrogen (N) fertilizer source in Illinois. Some of the reasons for its importance include the fact that this source is by far the most concentrated, with 82% N (less weight of fertilizer per unit of N); it is readily available, because AA is used in the manufacture of many commercial N fertilizers; it can be applied long before the crop is planted, including in the fall, when other N sources are not acceptable because the potential for N loss is too high; and, most important, it normally represents a less expensive source of N. Some of the drawbacks of AA include the need for special facilities to store the gas as pressurized liquid and for special equipment to transport and apply it; the fact that application can be slower than withsome other N sources; and the potential risk to human health if AA gas is not handled properly. Every year as farmers start applying AA, I invariably receive similar questions. What is a good soil-moisture condition for anhydrous ammonia application, and can I apply it deeper to compensate for less-than-ideal conditions? When AA is applied it quickly reacts with organic matter, clay particles, free hydrogen ions, and, most importantly, with soil water, preventing volatilization of ammonia. Other factors that can influence the size and shape of the retention zone include the rate of application and the equipment or method of application, soil texture, and soil structure. Typically, AA stays in an oval-shaped retention zone about 2 to 5 inches in diameter. AA losses to the atmosphere at the time of application depend mostly on soil moisture and depth of injection. Ideal soil conditions are around 15% to 20% moisture. Within this range a fine-textured soil, such as a silty clay loam, feels slightly moist."

It lies at the intersection of State Roads 9 and 338, south of the city of Lordsburg, the county seat. Its elevation is 4,406 feet, and it is located at 31°56′56″N 108°48′26″W / 31.94889°N 108.80722°W. Although Animas is unincorporated, it has a post office which opened in 1909. The community has the ZIP code of 88020; the ZCTA for ZIP Code 88020 had a population of 1,063 at the 2000 census. Founded around 1753 by the Spanish, Animas became part of the newly independent country of Mexico in 1821. Unlike most of New Mexico, Animas was not part of the Mexican Cession after the Mexican–American War ended; it is located in the area sold to the United States with the Gadsden Purchase of 1853. Animas is an isolated ranching community. It is located in the valley bounded by the Peloncillo Mountains on the west and the Pyramid Mountains and Animas Mountains on the east. It is situated just west of the Continental Divide and is approximately thirty miles from Lordsburg, the nearest significant population center."

"text": "\"Humanities ›Religion & Spirituality What is an Archetype? Share Flipboard Email Print The Warrior is an archetype found in every culture's consciousness. Anna Gorin / Getty Imagesby Patti Wigington Updated March 31, 2018In some Pagan traditions, and in cultures all around the world, the word “archetype” is used to define a model of a person that stands as a symbol of a collection of traits. As an example, a warrior could be considered an archetype of all that is brave and strong and honorable. A priestess might be seen as an archetype of wisdom and intuition. In goddess-centric belief systems, the triune archetype of Maiden/Mother/Crone is often invoked to represent youth, middle age, and cronehood. Jungian Archetypes in the Collective Consciousness Psychiatrist Carl Jung used a system of archetypes to describe images that are related to a collective unconsciousness. He believed that in any culture or belief system, there were common archetypes that everyone could relate to, whether it be that of the warrior, the priestess, the king, or others. He then carried this theory a step further, in describing how archetypes were connected to our inner psyche. Dr. Joan Relke, Associate Professor of Religious Studies at the University of New England, says that two Jungian archetypes, the anima and the mother, take on the forms of goddesses in the myths and legends of cultures around the world."

"text": "What is Transpersonal Psychotherapy? Posted on October 11, 2013 by Noel Bell One of the dangers in trying to define transpersonal psychotherapy is that one can become overly analytical and miss the core essence of the approach. For transpersonal psychotherapists will maintain that the interaction with the client is heart felt, not theory driven. Unlike psychoanalysis there is no strict adherence to the rule of neutrality or non self disclosure. Various tools and techniques are employed where the practice may be defined as holistic and integrative. It could be argued that all tools and techniques are transpersonal, given a transpersonal framework. Transpersonal academics view their approach as going beyond the person, as trans egoic, that is to say beyond the normal range of human perception or experience. Whilst this may sound extremely self important of transpersonalists the reasoning is that if we do not have a language to describe an inner experience it remains unfathomable and becomes lost to the unconscious side of our psyche. Hence, the term transpersonal experience refers to those perceptions and experiences that some people have (and most others don’t) which go beyond our normal experience. Cortright (1997) described transpersonal psychology as the scientific study of higher states of consciousness."

I have tried the Abbott Fresstyle Libre system which is very clever but for me it didn’t give accurate enough results and I found myself having far more lows & highs but in fairness this could just have been me. The cost of the Libre Sensors is a little bit frustrating as they are about £50 each and last 14 days so cost is quite high compared to finger sticks which are available on prescription, they also give more accurate results. I am hoping to be able to try the Sugar BEAT once it is released in the UK to give it a proper try and then can see just how good it is compared to the Abbott Freestyle Libre – watch this space. There was also a New BG Meter System which I had spotted called the One Drop Meter and the App is already available which you may or may not have used, it is certainly a smart looking device and the App seems very informative. Diabetes products are becoming so much more popular now to help us manage Diabetes – it is exciting times to see what is around the corner ? If you do know of any New Diabetes Products that I may not have seen then please do let us know and I will do my best to share with everyone ? One last thing to mention, given all the coverage on Theresa May I had not realised that Theresa May has Type 1 Diabetes which for us in the UK can only be a good thing and it will be great to hear how Theresa manages her Diabetes given what a manic schedule she must have. Reading on the web it looks as though Theresa only developed Type 1 Diabetes in 2013 which is not very common at all as it usually develops when you are younger (No offence J)."

"text": "\"Welcome to this place of learning and worship of our Mother God This is an online sanctuary dedicated to the love and service of our Mother God. Our aim is to spread both knowledge and devotion about the oldest form of religion known to humanity—the worship of Deity in Her original form: our first spiritual refuge; our surest sanctuary throughout the ages; our point of origin: our Mother God. We shall be presenting pages about the various goddesses of history: but this has nothing to do with what some patriarchal religions call \"\"polytheism\"\". There is only one Absolute, only one Creatrix: only one Celestial Mother. And yet, through the Ages, She has been known by many Names. These many names are not simply the accidents of different languages, but the expression of the Multiplicity-in-Unity of She Who is the Source of all things, the Divine Mother of the universe. Thus the Hindus recite the thousand names of the goddess Lalita or the 108 names of Sri Mahalakshmi; the Chinese speak of Quan Yin as \"\"the Lady of ten thousand names\"\" and the goddess Isis said to Apuleius in the second century AD: I am she that is the natural Mother of all creation, the Mistress and Governess of all the Elements, the initial Progenitrix of all things... my name, my divinity, is adored throughout all the world in various manners, by various customs and under many names... There is one Mother God, for She is the Absolute, and there can no more be two Absolutes than a circle can have two centres. And yet She has many Names and many faces, representing Her infinite fecundity and the multiplicity of her Divine Powers and Graces. Her different Names and Forms also correspond to the different characters of the souls She has created. Each of us will respond to a particular aspect of our dear Mother."

Directed by Noriyuki Abe and produced by Studio Pierrot, [1] the episodes focus on five girls infused with the DNA of rare animals that gives them special powers and allows them to transform into \"\"Mew Mews\"\". Led by Ichigo Momomiya, the girls protect the earth from aliens who wish to \"\"reclaim\"\" it.

[ 2] 4Kids Entertainment licensed the first 26 episodes of the series for the English-dubbed release in North America in 2004. Their release, initially titled Hollywood Mew Mew, would be heavily edited and localized to the point that viewers would not recognize its Japanese origins. [ 3] The series was later referred to as The Mew Mews and Tokyo Mew Mew in subsequent 4Kids press releases. [ 4] The English dub premiered on 4Kids TV on February 19, 2005, under the name Mew Mew Power. As 4Kids had announced, the characters and episodes were renamed, scenes were cut, the original episode story lines were modified, and the music was replaced with a new score. [ 5] Twenty-three episodes of Mew Mew Power aired before the series was canceled after 4Kids was unable to acquire the license for the remaining episodes of the series. ["

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Illustration of the structure of Hell according to Dante Alighieri 's Divine Comedy. By Sandro Botticelli (between 1480 and 1490). According to Carl Gustav Jung, hell represents, among every culture, the disturbing aspect of the collective unconscious. Collective unconscious ( German: kollektives Unbewusstes ), a term coined by Carl Jung, refers to structures of the unconscious mind which are shared among beings of the same species. According to Jung, the human collective unconscious is populated by instincts and by archetypes: universal symbols such as The Great Mother, the Wise Old Man, the Shadow, the Tower, Water, the Tree of Life, and many more. Jung considered the collective unconscious to underpin and surround the unconscious mind, distinguishing it from the personal unconscious of Freudian psychoanalysis. He argued that the collective unconscious had profound influence on the lives of individuals, who lived out its symbols and clothed them in meaning through their experiences. The psychotherapeutic practice of analytical psychology revolves around examining the patient's relationship to the collective unconscious. Psychiatrist and Jungian analyst Lionel Corbett argues that the contemporary terms \"\"autonomous psyche\"\" or \"\"objective psyche\"\" are more commonly used today in the practice of depth psychology rather than the traditional term of the \"\"collective unconscious.\"\" [ 1]Critics of the collective unconscious concept have called it unscientific and fatalistic, or otherwise very difficult to test scientifically (due to the mythical aspect of the collective unconscious).

Includes the Catholic Encyclopedia, Church Fathers, Summa, Bible and more — all for only $19.99... ( nekros, \"\"dead\"\", and manteia, \"\"divination\"\")Necromancy is a special mode of divination by the evocation of the dead. Understood as nigromancy ( niger, black), which is the Italian, Spanish and old French form, the term suggests \"\"black\"\" magic or \"\"black\"\" art, in which marvellous results are due to the agency of evil spirits, while in \"\"white\"\" magic they are due to human dexterity and trickery. The practice of necromancy supposes belief in the survival of the soul after death, the possession of a superior knowledge by the disembodied spirit, and the possibility of communication between the living and the dead. The circumstances and conditions of this communication — such as time, place, and rites to be followed — depend on the various conceptions which were entertained concerning the nature of the departed soul, its abode, its relations with the earth and with the body in which it previously resided. As divinities frequently were but human heroes raised to the rank of gods, necromancy, mythology, and demonology are in close relation, and the oracles of the dead are not always easily distinguished from the oracles of the gods. Necromancy in pagan countries Along with other forms of divination and magic, necromancy is found in every nation of antiquity, and is a practice common to paganism at all times and in all countries, but nothing certain can be said as to the place of its origin. Strabo (Geogr., XVI, ii, 39) says that it was the characteristic form of divination among the Persians. It was also found in Chaldea, Babylonia and Etruria (Clemens Alex., \"\""

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For the album by The Creatures, see Anima Animus. The anima and animus, in Carl Jung's school of analytical psychology, are the two primary anthropomorphic archetypes of the unconscious mind, as opposed to both the theriomorphic and inferior function of the shadow archetypes, as well as the abstract symbol sets that formulate the archetype of the Self. The anima and animus are described by Jung as elements of his theory of the collective unconscious, a domain of the unconscious that transcends the personal psyche. In the unconscious of a man, this archetype finds expression as a feminine inner personality: anima; equivalently, in the unconscious of a woman it is expressed as a masculine inner personality: animus. The anima and animus can be identified as the totality of the unconscious feminine psychological qualities that a man possesses or the masculine ones possessed by a woman, respectively. It is an archetype of the collective unconscious and not an aggregate of father or mother, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, or teachers, though these aspects of the personal unconscious can influence the person for good or ill. Because a male's sensitivity is often lesser or repressed, the anima is one of the most significant autonomous complexes of all. It is said to manifest itself by appearing in dreams. It also influences a man's interactions with women and his attitudes toward them and vice versa for women and the animus. Jung said that \"\"the encounter with the shadow is the 'apprentice-piece' in the individual's development...that with the anima is the 'masterpiece'\"\". ["

The 4 Major Jungian Archetypes By Kendra Cherry | Reviewed by Steven Gans, MDUpdated February 27, 2018Share Pin Email Print Archetypes were a concept introduced by the Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, who believed that archetypes were models of people, behaviors, or personalities. Archetypes, he suggested, were inborn tendencies that play a role in influencing human behavior. Jung believed that the human psyche was composed of three components: the ego, the personal unconscious , and the collective unconscious. According to Jung, the ego represents the conscious mind while the personal unconscious contains memories including those that have been suppressed. The collective unconscious is a unique component in that Jung believed that this part of the psyche served as a form of psychological inheritance. It contained all of the knowledge and experiences we share as a species. In Jungian psychology, the archetypes represent universal patterns and images that are part of the collective unconscious. Jung believed that we inherit these archetypes much the way we inherit instinctive patterns of behavior. The Origins of Archetypes Corbis/VCG / Getty Images Where do these archetypes come from then?"

"text": "Hardwood flooring – Can you change the color of your hardwood floors?by The Flooring Girl | Feb 22, 2012 | Blog, Hardwood Flooring | 82 comments The answer is usually YES!Many homeowners don’t realize that you can change the color of hardwood flooring when you refinish your floors. Yes, it’s true…you can go light or dark or red tones or anywhere in between. Most are pleasantly surprised it doesn’t matter if you are going light to dark or vice versa. First, let me caveat this by mentioning that I’m assuming you can sand and refinish your hardwood floors. Most homes in Westchester NY and Fairfield CT as well as the Northeast and Mid Atlantic tend to have solid hardwood flooring and solid hardwood can be sanded and refinished many times (unless it’s so old that the floors have worn down to the tongue and groove…note, this usually takes many generations and I’ve seen hundreds if not thousands of hardwood floors and I believe only twice they were too old and thin to refinish). So most solid hardwood floors can be refinished. If, however, you have engineered hardwood, you may or may not be able to refinish the hardwood – it depends on how thick the top layer of hardwood is and how the wood is installed (floating floors can not be sanded). Please note that this article may contain affiliate links. You can read my full disclosure at the bottom of the page. The process for sanding and refinishing hardwood floors1."

Exterior Cedar Paint or Paint-Stain First, painting freshly milled Cedar requires a paint stain, unless a 100% acrylic exterior primer is used first, thereby allowing a 100% solid acrylic paint to be used as final finish coats. If you do not intend on priming brand new Cedar or Redwood for that matter, a high quality stain paint should be used, as 50% of volume soaks into the wood, other 50% is left on top, as a dried paint mil. This stain covers all wood grain completely, and gives the wood an appearance of being painted. Either way of painting Cedar, whether priming first, then painting, or painting using a stain paint, both will receive optimum performance, but priming and painting will usually be 75% more in paint material costs, also having some other drawbacks listed below in table. Using a paint stain right off from the start, a primer is not required, and additional coats further down the road is much easier achieved. Secondly, using a 100% acrylic primer and paint, at some point this paint product will breakdown over time, and you could see fading, cracking, peeling, chipping, needing to repaint once again."

In this article, we discuss the importance of using a quality stripper when you have old coating on your deck you need to remove. We always appreciate your input, so feel free to leave a comment below with pictures of your deck stain projects. Failing Deck Stain When it comes to restoring an older wood deck, it’s extremely important to prep the wood correctly. Not doing so can lead to premature failure of the new deck stain. No matter the brand or cost of a deck stain, it will not last as long as it should if it isn’t applied to a perfectly cleaned and prepped surface. One of the biggest mistakes DIY homeowners make in cleaning and preparing a wood deck for stain, is not removing all remnants of old deck stain. Any failed deck stain that is left on the wood will block the new stain from penetrating the surface properly. The new deck stain will sit on top of the wood instead of diving into it. Deck stains do not adhere to each other well so this causes the newer deck stain to begin flaking and peeling off the deck normally in a year or less."

"text": "\"Westend61 / Getty Images Wood stains are designed to bring out the best in the wood, in particular, the woodworker's skill in building with the wood. Paint, on the other hand, is often used to cover up blemishes or less than ideal woods on a project. Does that mean that paint is always bad and stain is always good? Not at all. Just as a general rule, it takes more time and patience to build a project that will be stained than one that will be painted. Of course, your choice of wood will likely be determined by the type of finish you want to apply. For instance, I doubt many in their right minds would go to the trouble to build a project out of oak or maple, woods that look great stained, only to paint it. Conversely, I don't think we'd see a whole lot of stained poplar woodworking projects, as poplar doesn't have the type of grain or color that is conducive to wood stain. So, with that in mind, what are the keys to applying a really great wood stain finish? Quality Workmanship: This is one of those, \"\"it goes without saying, that's why I'm going to say it\"\" statements, but the first key to a great wood stain finish is to make sure that the project to be stained is one that you would really like to show off."

"text": "Simple Stains ( Atlas, p 27-28)Because cells are mostly water, they are largely transparent unless they contain a pigment such as chlorophyll. Viewing transparent cells is rather difficult under a microscope because the cytoplasm has little contrast from the cell's background. Staining cells, especially small bacteria, greatly aids viewing because it increases the contrast between the cell and its background. Once you can clearly see the cells, the cell morphology (shape), size, and growth pattern may be determined. There are two types of simple stains, basic stains and negative stains. A basic stain stains the bacteria (the stain is a positively charged molecule that attaches to cells which are negatively charged or to negatively charged molecules in cells.) A negative stain does not stain cells (why its called a negative stain), it stains the background around the cells. Basically a simple stain is staining cells with just one stain, there are two types: basic stains and negative stains. Purpose: to make the cells show up better (higher contrast)Purpose: to ascertain the cell shape, size, and growth pattern Procedure for Simple Basic Stains: Obtain a bacterial smear that has been dried and heat fixed.

Although each type of stain will help to protect and prolong the life and looks of your deck, each different type of stain has a different reapplication rate and special characteristics. Remember that before applying any stain, you need to clean your deck properly. Using an oxygen bleach and a garden hose as well as a little elbow grease will get your deck ready to be stained or sealed. Before applying any stain, perform a water test on the deck. Sprinkle water around on a few places on the deck itself. If the water does not sink in within a few seconds, then your deck will not absorb any stain. If your deck does not absorb water, you may want to invest in a stain stripper or other chemical remover for your deck. You can also simply let it weather for a few more months and try the water test again. A clear wood stain has the shortest lifespan out of the three."

Donlin Department of Chemistry, Washington University St. Louis, MOIntroduction The detection of small molecules plays an important role in the survival of most animals, which use odor for identifying and evaluating their food, predators, and territory. For many years, scientists have been very successful in synthesizing fragrances. Many types of industry today have synthetic fragrances in their materials; for example, inks, paints, soaps, cleaning products, and foods. However, the detection and processing of odor by the body is not well understood. Despite the importance of olfaction (sense of smell) to our daily lives, the chemical aspect to olfaction was not given much attention by the scientific community until the 1980's. What happens when we inhale? The initial detection of odors takes place at the back of the nose in a small region known as the olfactory epithelium. Dissolved molecules interact with specialized receptors called odorant-binding proteins. ( Odorants are molecules that stimulate the olfactory receptors.) The binding of the molecules to these receptors initiate an electrical signal that transmits to the olfactory bulbs and higher brain centers for processing of the olfactory information."

Whether in the form of professionally administered one-hour whitening sessions at your dentist’s office, or home-use bleaching kits purchased at your local drugstore, solutions abound. Virtually everyone who opts for a teeth whitening solution sees moderate to substantial improvement in the brightness and whiteness of their smile. That said, it’s not a permanent solution to discoloration and requires maintenance or “touch-ups” for a prolonged effect. In this article we break down everything related to teeth whitening, including the process of tooth discoloration, what causes staining, the various treatment options available, and their risks and costs. Bleaching vs. Whitening: What’s the Difference? According to the FDA, the term “bleaching” is permitted to be used only when the teeth can be whitened beyond their natural color. This applies strictly to products that contain bleach — typically hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. The term “whitening” on the other hand, refers to restoring a tooth’s surface color by removing dirt and debris."

In their hieroglyphic system of writing the ankh represents the concept of eternal life, and that is the general meaning of the symbol. Construction of the Image The ankh is an oval or point-down teardrop set atop a T shape. The origin of this image is highly debated. Some have suggested that it represents a sandal strap, although the reasoning behind such a use is not obvious. Others point out the similarity with another shape known as a knot of Isis (or a tyet ), the meaning of which is also obscure. The most commonly repeated explanation is that it is a union of a female symbol (the oval, representing the vagina or uterus) with a male symbol (the phallic upright line), but there's no actual evidence supporting that interpretation. Funeral Context The ankh is generally displayed in association with the gods. Most are found in funerary images. However, most surviving artwork in Egypt is found in tombs, so availability of evidence is skewed."

Here are some of the most popular religious symbols from our past. Bahai Symbol Christianity Cross Symbol Buddhism Symbol Shinto Symbol Share the Symbols you Like Most: Tweet Egyptian Ankh Religious Symbol Sikhism Symbol Related Religious Jewelry By the Artist - David Weiztman and Ka Gold Jewelry Star of David Shinto (Torii gate) ring Ankh and lotus necklace Jewish Religious Symbol Islamic Religious Symbol Upright Pentacle- Upright pentacles and pentagrams are among the most widely used religious symbols. They have been used in many eras and by many cultures and religions of the world: by ancient Pagans, ancient Israelites, Christians, magicians, Wiccans and others. The Happy Human (originally the Happy Man) is a secular icon and the official symbol of the International Humanist and Ethical Union (IHEU), a world body for Humanism, and has been adopted by many Humanist organisations and individuals worldwide. Its origin was a competition organised in 1965 by the British Humanist Association to find a symbol for itself. The winning design was created by Denis Barrington."

Egyptian art and jewelry was never just art, but represented a deeper meaning, which even today baffles archaeologists. The rarity and exquisite nature of Egyptian jewelry was not only reserved for women, but men as well. Both men and women wore the Ancient Egyptian jewelry, and these personal adornments were not just limited to beaded necklaces and finger rings. Jewelry such as anklets, collars, bracelets, fillets and earrings embodied everyday Egyptian dress, so much so, that even in death the poorest of individuals would still be found wearing a string of beads or a simple bracelet. Excavations and grave robbing in the Saqqara Necropolis has turned up loose beads and trinkets from the mass graves and tombs of the ancient Egyptians. In fact, these loose beads are often picked up by local merchants and sold to gullible tourists. Why the Ancient Egyptians Wore Jewelry? The Ancient Egyptians wore the ornamental jewelry for many reasons, however the more fundamental reason and purpose was to guard them from mysterious hostile forces."

"text": "\"Symbols & Empathy Lately, I've been seeing symbols, which, on the surface might seem to have nothing to do with Empathy. And yet, beneath the surface all of them have much to do with Empathy. So lets take a look at some of them and then see how they all interconnect to Empathy. Symbols INFINITY: In ancient India and Tibet, it represented perfection, dualism, and unity between male and female. In the occult tarot it's linked to magic and represents equilibrium or the balance of various forces. The uroborus (a circular serpent biting its tail -- a UN symbol for \"\"Human Settlements\"\") has been found in this shape. In modern times, it became a secular mathematical symbol for infinity in numbers, time or space (eternity). ANKH : In hieroglyphics, the ancient Egyptian form of writing, the ankh translates to \"\"life\"\" or \"\"living.\"\" It is sometimes referred to as the Egyptian cross. The loop of the ankh is believed to represent the Nile River, and the cross represents the path of the sun from east to west."

The Nazis used it to murder millions of people during the Holocaust, but for centuries it had positive meanings. What is the history of the swastika? Does it now represent good or evil? The Oldest Known Symbol The swastika is an ancient symbol that has been used for over 3,000 years. ( That even predates the ancient Egyptian symbol, the Ankh!) Artifacts such as pottery and coins from ancient Troy show that the swastika was a commonly used symbol as far back as 1000 BCE. During the following thousand years, the image of the swastika was used by many cultures around the world, including in China, Japan, India, and southern Europe. By the Middle Ages, the swastika was a well known, if not commonly used, symbol but was called by many different names: China - wan England - fylfot Germany - Hakenkreuz Greece - tetraskelion and gammadion India - swastika Though it is not known for exactly how long, Native Americans also have long used the symbol of the swastika. The Original Meaning The word \"\"swastika\"\" comes from the Sanskrit svastika - \"\"su\"\" meaning \"\"good,\"\" \"\"asti\"\" meaning \"\"to be,\"\" and \"\"ka\"\" as a suffix."

It is similar to the two peaks of the Djew or mountain symbol with solar disk in the center. Both the beginning and the end of each day was guarded by Aker, a double lion god. In the New Kingdom, Harmakhet (\"\"Horus in the Horizon\"\") became the god of the rising and setting sun. He was pictured as a falcon, or as a sphinx with the body of a lion.

Orange Symbolic of endurance and strength, orange is the color of fire and flame. it represents the red of passion tempered by the yellow of wisdom. It is the symbol of the sun. Green Green symbolizes the breaking of shackles, freedom from bondage. It is the color of fertility. In the Christian context, it represents bountifulness, hope and the victory of life over death.

Although it's true origins are debated amongst many archeologists and egyptologists. One thing is for sure, the Egyptians revered the Ankh as a spiritual symbol. Considered to be the symbol of life, immortality and the universe, the Ankh is both a symbol of the Goddess and God heads. The tau, or loop at the top has also been associated as a symbol of spiritual reflection. This could be a result of it's use by Tutankhamen who often used a large hand held Ankh with a mirror positioned in the loop. The loop has a couple of common meanings. It represents the three upper chakras, also known as the spiritual chakras, which are associated with the divine. It represents the Godhead (not just the masculine, but God as an all encompassing divine being). It also represents the female principles or the Goddess, within nature and the divine universe."

Theories on its origins are numerous and varied; ranging from sexual symbolism to the common sandal strap. Like the Knot of Isis, which it resembles, it is most likely depicts some kind of elaborate bow. Detailed representations of the ankh show that the lower section is actually comprised of two parts - the ends of the bow. Early examples of the ankh actually show the ends separated. Originally, the ankh may have been a knot with some specific religious or mythical significance. Meaning: While the origins of the ankh may be obscure, the meaning is certainly clear - \"\"life\"\". It is with this basic connotation that the sign is carried in the hands of many Egyptian deities. The ankh may represent the life-giving elements of air and water."

"text": "\"Articleby Paul De Mola published on 15 May 2013Material Objects & Cultures Material objects convey volumes about the people who possessed them. Cultures and societies in every generation are in part classified - either correctly or incorrectly - by the objects or symbols they select and how they are displayed. Typically, the formal study of society is the purview of anthropologists and social scientists who categorize ‘people’ into cultural assemblages which are extrapolated from commonly held ‘features’ (e.g. clothing, jewellery, and music) and their interpersonal behaviour (e.g. occupation, political activities, rand eligious practices) which socially defines them. Hence, any answer to the ‘meaning of things’ in society, generally speaking, is a structured hypothesis. Amulets are an example of such culturally defining objects, and they satisfied a variety of roles in the society of Ancient Egypt. Specifically, they possessed complex socio-religious meanings which are reflected in their diverse designs and, therefore, may be analyzed within ontological/phenomenological and/or structural/poststructural dichotomies. In this article, I shall discuss Egyptian amulets as objects of human expression; exploring their symbolism and utilization in socio-cultural functions. Scarab Life Before Death Culturally, amulets were intimately associated with the greater Egyptian religious system, which was a state system whose earliest cosmological views of nature contained a cyclical perception of life, death, and rebirth. Typically, amulets were worn as jewellery by both men and women in social settings. However, they were not worn as a mere ornamental feature or simply as a sign of religious devotion."

"text": "\"The Ankh is one of the most recognizable symbols from ancient Egypt, known as \"\"the key of life\"\" or the \"\"cross of life\"\", and dating from the Early Dynastic Period (c. 3150 - 2613 BCE). It is a cross with a loop at the top sometimes ornamented with symbols or decorative flourishes but most often simply a plain gold cross. The symbol is an Egyptian hieroglyph for \"\"life\"\" or \"\"breath of life\"\" ( `nh = ankh) and, as the Egyptians believed that one's earthly journey was only part of an eternal life, the ankh symbolizes both mortal existence and the afterlife. It is one of the most ancient symbols of Egypt, often seen with the djed and was symbols, carried by a multitude of the Egyptian gods in tomb paintings and inscriptions and worn by Egyptians as an amulet. The ankh's association with the afterlife made it an especially potent symbol for the Coptic Christians of Egypt in the 4th century CE who took it as their own. This use of the ankh as a symbol of Christ's promise of everlasting life through belief in his sacrifice and resurrection is most probably the origin of the Christian use of the cross as a symbol of faith today. The early Christians of Rome and elsewhere used the fertility symbol of the fish as a sign of their faith. They would not have considered using the image of the cross, a well-known form of execution, any more than someone today would choose to wear an amulet of an electric chair. The ankh, already established as a symbol of eternal life, leant itself easily to assimilation into the early Christian faith and continued as that religion 's symbol. Origin & Meaning The origin of the ankh is unknown."

There are many theories and legends about the origin of the Egyptian Ankh symbol. Some suggest that it is the manifestation of sexual symbolism. An old theory holds that the ankh was the symbol of the rising sun, with the loop representing the sun rising above the horizon, which is represented by the crossbar. The lower vertical section to the cross bar is then the path of the sun. Others say it symbolized the key turned on the annual flooding of the Nile. Some say it was the key to eternal life. Even today, nobody really knows. In essence, the Egyptian symbol is supposed to represent life.

In the ancient language of Egyptians, the ‘ankh’ meant ‘life.’ It is considered one of the earliest and most popular hieroglyphic symbols from ancient Egypt. It is said that the loop on the ankh symbolized the feminine or the womb, while the cross symbolized the masculine or the penis. When the two are put together, life is formed. Many believe that the Ankh is also a symbol for water and air, which are life-giving elements. Because of this, many water vessels were formed in the shape of an Ankh. Many early Egyptian artworks depict this sacred symbol being worn or held by gods and kings. Used as an amulet, the Ankh was believed to be able to grant the wearer long life and health.

"text": "\"Egyptian Hieroglyphs This page lists all the various symbols in the Egyptian Hieroglyphs category. The formal writing system used by the ancient Egyptians that contained a combination of logographic and alphabetic is called hieroglyphics. They began to develop this system around 3000 BC. The first hieroglyphs were used on buildings and tombs as a symbol of the sarcophagus of Tutankhamun. Ancient Egyptian writing uses more than 2,000 hieroglyphic characters. Each hieroglyph represents a common object in ancient Egypt. Hieroglyphs included a series of words in the image. This could be the sound of the object or they could represent an idea associated with the object. The system consisted of several hundred words and was complex and time consuming. Visually hieroglyphs are all more or less figurative: they represent real or illusion elements, sometimes stylized and simplified, but all generally perfectly recognizable in form."

"text": "\"Society & Culture Mythology & Folklore What does the ankh mean?1 following 11 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The ankh is an ancient Egyptian symbol of life. Also known as an Ansata cross, it is a visual representation of a sandal strap. The horizontal and vertical bars of the lower tau cross represent the feminine and masculine energy, respectively. This combination of male and female symbols (the cross and circle) in the ankh suggest fertility and creative power. The top loop also symbolises the sun on the horizon, and suggests reincarnation and rebirth. The ankh appears frequently in Egyptian writings about rebirth, and this symbolism was adopted by Coptic Christians, especially gnostic sects, to symbolize the resurrection of Christ and the heavenly marriage. The ankh was an earlier form of the cross than the better known \"\"latin\"\" cross. Blessed Be... )O (Bunge · 1 decade ago5 0 Comment The Ankh, symbol of life or eternal life was associated with water, the sustainer of all life. One theory suggests it originated from the loop of a sandal strap, another that the loop represents the sunrise over the horizon (crossbar). Many believe the loop to be the female sexual organ while the vertical part of the cross is the male organ, but this is not accepted by scholars."

"text": "23 June, 2013 - 11:54 Willem Witteveen The Crowns of the Pharaohs In Ancient Egypt, the gods and kings (pharaohs) were depicted with a crown, which, according to Egyptologists, were also taken into the grave for the afterlife. These crowns however have never physically been found, neither inside nor outside graves. Have these crowns really existed or did grave robbers take them all? Not all the graves were looted before archaeologists discovered them and this strengthens the idea that the crowns were only used in depictions and statues to indicate a certain, important phase in the life of a pharaoh. Therefore, it is not special that no crowns have ever been found, nor any of the artefacts that accompanied the pharaohs like for instance: the crook or the flail and the ankh or the was-sceptre that accompanied the gods. There used to be different types of crowns like the red crown or Desjret as the symbol of Lower-Egypt, the white crown or Hadjet as the symbol of Upper-Egypt, the double crown or Psjent as a combination of the white and the red crown, the war crown or Chepresj of which is little known, the Atef crown worn by the first mythical king Osiris and the Nemes headdress. Combinations of mentioned crowns were also used. Goddesses and Egyptian queens were often depicted with a hood in the shape of a vulture. A pharaoh in times of war was depicted with the war crown and showed the status in the life of that pharaoh and his kingdom. Therefore a particular crown is linked to a specific era."

"text": "\"Ankh The Ankh is one of the most famous and widely used symbols of Ancient Egypt. It appeared in hieroglyphic text and iconographic art all over ancient Egypt. Yet, there is much debate over the origin of the symbol. Gardiner (who composed the standard sign list) suggested that it was a sandal strap. This part of the sandal was called 'nkh but it is not clear whether this name was applied retrospectively because of the similarity in shape. Others have suggested that it was a totem representing male and female reproductive parts, a sun on the horizon with the path of the sun before it, and a ceremonial girdle. It may also have been associated with the \"\"Sa\"\" (the hieroglyphic symbol which represented magical protection) and has also been linked to the Tjet (also known as the \"\"knot of Isis\"\") which has also been described as a ceremonial girdle. The symbol is also an Ancient Egyptian hieroglyph which represents the hieroglyph ´nh (ankh) meaning \"\"life\"\" or \"\"breath of life\"\". The glyph appears in an incredible number of inscriptions and was often used as a decorative device. Many of the gods of Egypt are depicted bearing an Ankh to represent their vivacity and immortality."

Religious symbolism is prominently featured in several tattoo design genres, both ancient and modern, and in fact it could be argued that all traditional tattooing among indigenous peoples has a strong spiritual element. Symbols like the cross go back long before the written word. One of the oldest crosses was placed within a circle. These Solar or Wheel Crosses appeared in Neolithic Europe, often as petroglyphs or rock carvings. They are also found in Asia, America, and India, as representations of the rising and setting of the sun, the seasons, and the union of the polarities. Since the cross was used all over the world, it is no small wonder that it took on many different meanings within many different cultures. Within modern tattoo genres, the cross is a tattoo design that has been in vogue for at least the last two centuries, and was tattooed by sailors, merchant seamen, was heavily represented in Old School tattooing, was popular among Military Serviceman, Latino tattooing, and is today one of the most popular tattoo designs in the world. The Cross itself is one of the most ancient, widespread, and important symbols in human history - the vertical and horizontal lines representing Father and Mother Nature, respectively. The point of intersection of those two lines -- the point of synthesis -- represented those mystical and spiritual concepts that embraced the meeting of the material and the spiritual in human existence."

Admittedly only to a limited extent, today we are able to comprehend the hieroglyphs depicting the events that occurred during the age of pharaohs. That being said, knowledge of Egyptian symbolism is essential to have a better understanding of those times. For those who have been wondering, here are the most prominent ancient Egyptian symbols and their meanings: Ankh As the most commonly used symbol among the ancient Egyptian symbols, the Ankh (which is also known as crux ansata by Coptic Christians) represents life and immortality. It was also used as the symbol of the union between men and women, particularly the union of Osiris and Isis which was believed to flood the river of Nile thus bringing fertility to Egypt. That is the reason why the ankh is also called the Key of the Nile. In addition to being used as the symbol of the purifying and life-giving power of water and clairvoyance (the ability to see “the beyond”), the ankh was believed to be “the key to eternity”, “the key to the underworld”. Sometimes ankhs were drawn on temple walls as they were believed to provide divine protection. Here is the detailed article on the ankh symbol and its meaning if you would like to learn more about it. The Eye of Horus Also known as Wadjet (Udjat, Uadjet, Uto, Wedjoyet, Edjo and Uto), the Eye of Horus symbol represents protection, healing, good health and royal power."

The swastika was used as a conveniently geometrical and eye-catching symbol to emphasize the so-called Aryan-German correspondence and instill racial pride.

In his book \"\"Comet\"\" the late Carl Sagan finds in ancient Chinese records a drawing of an unusual comet with four tails that looked like a swastika. He suggests that such an appearance in the sky might have been the cause of the symbol being adopted by so many cultures. In Europe the swastika became an accepted form of the Christian cross.

"text": "\"Articleby Joshua J. Mark published on 10 February 2017Religion in ancient Egypt was fully integrated into the people's daily lives. The gods were present at one's birth, throughout one's life, in the transition from earthly life to the eternal, and continued their care for the soul in the afterlife of the Field of Reeds. The spiritual world was ever present in the physical world and this understanding was symbolized through images in art, architecture, in amulets, statuary, and the objects used by nobility and clergy in the performance of their duties. Symbols in a largely illiterate society serve the vital purpose of relaying the most important values of the culture to the people generation after generation, and so it was in ancient Egypt. The peasant farmer would not have been able to read the literature, poetry, or hymns which told the stories of his gods, kings, and history but could look at an obelisk or a relief on a temple wall and read them there through the symbols used. The three most important symbols, often appearing in all manner of Egyptian artwork from amulets to architecture, were the ankh, the djed, and the was scepter. These were frequently combined in inscriptions and often appear on sarcophagi together in a group or separately. In the case of each of these, the form represents the eternal value of the concept: the ankh represented life; the djed stability; the was power. Scholar Richard H. Wilkinson, noting the importance of form-as-function, relates the following: A little known but fascinating inscription made at the command of the pharaoh Thutmose IV records the discovery by the king of a stone. The significance of this celebrated stone lay not in its being of rare material or appearance, the inscription tells us, but because \"\"his majesty found this stone in the shape of a divine hawk\"\"."

"text": "\"The Was-Scepter (or Staff)by Jimmy Dun The was-scepter is one of the highly recognizable symbols, or emblems, found in two dimensional representations and in three dimensional objects of ancient Egypt. It is a well known object to most ancient Egypt enthusiasts, though actually this name for it is a bit deceptive. Technically, it is certainly not always in the form of a scepter, but can also take the form of a stave, or staff, and can also be displayed as a type of border, and in other manners. In fact, Geoffrey Graham, in the Oxford Encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt, refers to it as a w3s-staff (w3s being a type of notation used by Egyptologists to denote the spelling of an Egyptian term where there is actually no modern English equivalent for some of the letters of the word), and tells us that it is \"\"often erroneously called a 'scepter'. However, that seems a bit misleading, because it could indeed be displayed in the same manner as other scepters, though it took other forms as well. However, popularly it is almost always referred to as a was-scepter (or sceptre), and this is the term we will use. In fact, physically, this argument only refers to the length of the shaft, though symbolically, it can have some ramifications and the way in which it is used. Physically, a was-scepter consists of a staff with, what many scholars believe to be, the head of a seth or a desert animal at the head, and an open fork at the base. Some have speculated that the head could, at least at times, be in the form of a gazelle, a bird, a snake or some sort of fantastic animal. Others have argued that the fork at the base could actually symbolize legs."

The larger base metal version made of nickel, and called a \"\"nickel,\"\" was introduced as a Canadian coin in 1922, originally as 99.9% nickel metal. These coins were magnetic, due to the high nickel content. Versions during World War II were minted in copper-zinc, then chrome and nickel-plated steel, and finally returned again to nickel, at the end of the war. A plated steel version was again made 1951–54 during the Korean War. Rising nickel prices eventually caused another switch to cupronickel in 1982 (an alloy similar to the U.

The annual DRVH period normally begins on the Sunday before the Jewish observance of Yom Ha Shoah, Holocaust Memorial Day, and continues through the following Sunday, usually in April or May. A National Civic Commemoration is held in Washington, D. C., with state, city, and local ceremonies and programs held in most of the fifty states, and on U.

A House Joint resolution 1014 designated April 28 and 29 of 1979 as \"\"Days of Remembrance of Victims of the Holocaust.\"\" Senator John Danforth of Missouri, had originated the resolution, chose April 28 and 29, because it was on these dates, in 1945, that American troops — including at least one ethnically segregated artillery battalion of the U. S. Army, many of whose own relatives were themselves interned during the war on American soil — liberated the Dachau concentration camp and a number of its satellite camps, as well as rescuing hundreds of Jewish-ethnicity camp inmates driven southwards from Dachau by the Nazis on a death march only days later.

New ones are being added all the time. The majority of veterans are not familiar with more than 77 commemorative medals. The tradition of issuing commemorative medals had been existent since the Revolutionary War, or for more than 231 years. Then, as now, they recognize campaigns, service or historical events a veteran participated in or supported. Commemorative medals have grown in response to World War II veterans who wanted medals to commemorate D-Day, the Battle of the Bulge and other special events. It has slowly expanded to cover recent historical military operations. Several commemorative medals have replaced ribbons such as the Vietnam Gallantry Cross Unit Citation, the Combat Action Ribbon and one we use often in place of a ribbon: the U. S. Armed Forces Retired Service Commemorative Medal. Take a look and see what you are eligible for. It is interesting to note that commemoratives are often issued before the government campaign medals have been minted."

Sales in Japan ended in 2004, but to respond to widespread domestic requests for its return to sale and to commemorate its 30th anniversary, Toyota is re-releasing the Land Cruiser 70 in Japan for roughly a year 1. Additionally, two special edition versions of current models will go on sale at dealers throughout Japan. Land Cruiser 70 (van) Land Cruiser 70 (pickup)The Land Cruiser 70, first launched in Japan in 1984, has heavy duty specifications adapted for off-road driving. The Land Cruiser 70 will go back on sale today at dealers throughout Japan, and Toyota expects to receive 200 orders a month for the one year period it will be sold. In addition to the four-door van model previously available, for the first time in Japan customers will also be able to choose a double-cab pickup truck. The vehicles will be produced at Toyota Auto Body Co., Ltd.'s Yoshiwara Plant. The Land Cruiser 70's ladder-frame construction gives it its legendary robustness and durability. These features are combined with a V6 4.0-liter engine and part-time four-wheel drive to reproduce the Land Cruiser's classic features, including its excellent drivability. The vehicle incorporates modern interior and exterior design elements and safety features to meet today's needs."

Juneteenth or June 19, 1865, is considered the date when the last slaves in America were freed. Although the rumors of freedom were widespread prior to this, actual emancipation did not come until General Gordon Granger rode into Galveston, Texas and issued General Order No. 3, on June 19, almost two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. BUT DIDN'T THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION FREE THE ENSLAVED? President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on September 22, 1862, notifying the states in rebellion against the Union that if they did not cease their rebellion and return to the Union by January 1, 1863, he would declare their slaves forever free. Needless to say, the proclamation was ignored by those states that seceded from the Union. Furthermore, the proclamation did not apply to those slave-holding states that did not rebel against the Union. As a result about 8000,000 slaves were unaffected by the provisions of the proclamation."

"text": "research Before Juneteenth: The Emancipation Proclamation in Texas Posted by W. Caleb Mc Daniel on September 25, 2012This is an inexact transcript of a lecture I recently gave at The Emancipation Proclamation: A Turning Point, a commemoration event in Houston marking the sesquicentennial of the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation last week. In 1926, the Dallas Morning News began publishing a serial comic strip on Texas history. It ran for only two years, but it shaped the way that generations of Texas schoolchildren learned about their state’s past. And it highlights the uncertain place of the Emancipation Proclamation in Texans’ memory of the Civil War. The comic, illustrated by Jack Patton with captions by “amusements editor” John Rosenfeld Jr., was simple and even easy to miss—its four panels were run weekly at the bottom of the News, separated from the national strips. But its vivid depictions of historical figures like Sam Houston and William Barrett Travis proved extremely popular—so popular that after its conclusion, the strip was published in a 217-page hardback edition called Texas History Movies. That book went through multiple printings, and between 1928 and 1960, an abridged booklet version was distributed, for free, to millions of Texas schoolchildren under the sponsorship of Magnolia Petroleum Company, later Mobil oil. 1As the cover suggests, the Texas History Movies dealt at length with Texas’s early history and events. They were much thinner, however, on the subject of the Civil War, and they said nothing about the event we are commemorating today. The original abridged version of Texas History Movies stopped at the Battle of San Jacinto, though the booklet given to students was later expanded."

"text": "\"Death of a Loved One: Coping with the Anniversary Posted by Ellen Gerst on October 13, 2009 at 7:00am View Blog The word anniversary takes on a whole new meaning for anyone grieving the loss of a loved one. Although an anniversary date is any meaningful date to you and the one you’ve lost, the hardest anniversary date is usually the one that commemorates the day of the death. For me, the anniversary date of the death of my late husband was never as bad as I thought it was going to be. Early on, each year, it would be the couple of weeks that led up to the anniversary that always knocked me for a loop. Surprisingly, I never realized how stressed I was until after the day had passed. For women, I would liken it to the two weeks before your period; you may not realize how emotional you are until after you get your period. Then, in retrospect, you think back about how you were acting during that time and realize your emotions were on high alert. To put this in perspective for men -- you should know better than to go near a woman when she is experiencing Pre-Menstrual Syndrome! Personally, I think it is more the anticipation of “the day” than the day itself. It is about reliving those last moments, or, if the death was unexpected, thinking about how you might have lived those last couple of weeks/months differently."

"text": "Anniversary Gifts By Year A Wedding Day is an incredibly important occasion when two people celebrate the beginning of their marriage in the presence of family and friends. Following this significant occasion, anniversary celebrations each year commemorate the continuation of each person’s love for the other. It is generally considered important that each wedding anniversary is celebrated in a memorable and meaningful way, because the anniversary is like an annual renewal of the commitment between two people. This is one time of the year when time and effort needs to be invested into finding a suitable gift, and a gift that is romantic, unique, or symbolic in some special way for the couple. OUR MOST POPULAR ANNIVERSARY GIFT FOR HERIn the earlier years of a marriage, it is often simple to think of a meaningful gift when two people tend to have plenty of things on their wish lists they want to purchase someday. However, as the years go by and the assets build up, it becomes increasingly more difficult to think of an anniversary gift that will be treasured. The tradition of giving gifts for a wedding anniversary extends back to medieval times. It is known that during the time of the Holy Roman Empire, a man would crown his wife with a silver wreath on the 25th anniversary, and a gold wreath on the 50th anniversary, however, there was little else documented in terms of themes for gift giving on other anniversaries. To overcome the common problem people faced as to what to give one’s spouse each year, an American author by the name of Emily Post, who wrote on the topic of etiquette, was the first to recommend a list of anniversary gift themes which was published in 1922 in her book titled 'Etiquette’. In that book, she listed suggestions for the first anniversary, followed by the fifth anniversary, and then every five years or so up until the 25th, and concluded with the 50th wedding anniversary."

The mint itself was built in 1937 nearby to the West Point Military Academy in New York.

In fact, West Point held the largest concentration of silver out of all the other US mints, although they minted Small Cent pennies for 35 years as well. They are known almost exclusively for minting commemorative coins, bullion coins and storing gold these days. West Point officially gained the status of branch mint on March 31 of 1988, making it the most modern official mint in existence. They are also listed at the National Register of Historic Places. The building itself is 170 feet by 256 feet in size, built one story high with reinforced concrete and a flat roof. Four guard turrets at each corner patrol the grounds and provide security for the bullion and minting facility.

That said, the fairy tale has to be in the public domain so I can use it and post it online. The problem is, I have no idea how to determine whether it is or isn't and the last thing I want to do is violate copyright. Yeah, some aspects of the librarian thing still escape me.

Most fairy tales--the characters and plot--are in the public domain, but it's the specific publication of one that is copyrighted. My kids have two different versions of The Emperor's New Clothes, and three of The Three Little Pigs, but they're all copyrighted. I think that even the stories of Cinderella and Snow White are public domain even though everyone thinks of the Disney versions."

Origins of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland Origins of Through the Looking Glass Origins of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland The White Rabbit Dean Liddell, Alice’s father, could very well have been the White Rabbit, for the Dean was always running late too. When Alice was a child, there was no west entrance to the Cathedral and the Dean would normally have had to leave the Deanery, walk along Tom Quad, around the Cloisters and into the Cathedral through the south door. Therefore he was notorious for being late for services. The present Cathedral Garden then belonged to one of the Cannons who subsequently gave permission to the Dean to use the door as a short cut to the Cathedral. The rabbit hole It is said that the ‘Rabbit Hole’ can be found in the dining hall in Christ Church, Oxford. Alice’s father would have dined at the High Table with other senior members of the college. After dinner the senior members did not drop down amongst the undergraduates but went through a panelled door to the left of the spot where Liddell’s portrait is now hanging. Behind this door is a very narrow spiral staircase which descends to the senior common room, then to a corridor which emerges in Tom Quad."

We have seen about these controller annotations at high level in a previous tutorial on spring MVC. I will be using the same code available in that tutorial to explain the annotations. An important note, Simple Form Controller is deprecated so do not use it. Spring may remove it from the next major version from the API. Go with annotation based controllers and it is easy to use. Using annotation based controllers means we need not extend some defined base class and need not implement some specific interfaces.

"text": "\"Java Script Object Notation (aka JSON) is a very popular alternative to XML for transmitting data to the web browser. Flexjson is a lightweight library for serializing and deserializing Java objects into and from JSON. What's different about Flexjson is it's control over what gets serialized allowing both deep and shallow copies of objects. Most JSON serializers mimic object serialization libraries and try to serialize the entire object graph from the object being turned into JSON. This causes problems when you want a connected object model in your server, but you can't send that object model to the client because the serialization library will try to send the entire object graph. This makes it very hard to create object oriented models and serialize pieces of that model to the client without sending everything. Other JSON libraries require you to create a lot of boiler plate code to translate your object representation into a JSON object. In this regard I shouldn't have to explain myself, but to keep it short let's me just say I hate boiler plate translation code! Flexjson tries to solve both of these problems by offering a higher level API or dare I say DSL for specifying your intent. In order to explore Flexjson we will be using the following model."

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

Learn more about our new features. Since its inception the Spring Framework has focused on providing powerful, yet non-invasive solutions to complex problems. Spring 2.0 introduced custom namespaces as a way of reducing XML-based configuration. They have since taken root in the core Spring framework (the aop, context, jee, jms, lang, tx, and util namespaces), in Spring Portfolio projects (e.g. Spring Security), and in non-Spring projects (e.g. CXF). Spring 2.5 rolled out a comprehensive set of annotations as an alternative to XML-based configuration. Annotations can be used for auto-discovery of Spring-managed objects, dependency injection, lifecycle methods, Web layer configuration, and unit/integration testing. This article is the second part of a three-part series exploring annotations introduced in Spring 2.5. It covers annotations support in the Web layer.

But what does it all mean? And how do you know which is best for you? Let’s start by briefly explaining what each type is. Annual deductible: Pretty self explanatory, each policy year you are required to satisfy a given dollar amount before the insurance company will pay out anything. Per incident deductible: Every time you have to take your pet in to see the veterinarian you are required to satisfy a given dollar amount before the insurance company will pay out anything.

HSAs can be used for out-of-pocket medical, dental, and vision. HSAs can’t be used to pay health insurance premiums. HSA’s can only be used with “ High Deductible Health Plans ” that count as “ Minimum Essential Coverage (MEC) .” Not every plan with a high deductible is HSA compatible, so make sure to double check the specifics before signing your annual health insurance contact. HSA’s can reduce AGI / MAGI to increase cost assistance eligibility levels and lower taxable income. If you invest money in an HSA, that money grows tax-free as well. HSA’s can be withdrawn from for non-medical use at a penalty, and investment portions of HSAs can involve the same risks as any other investment account.

"title": "http://www.wisegeek.org/what-is-a-deductible.htm\nWhat is a Deductible?",
"text": "\"A deductible is a sum of money a person pays before a company will provide the benefits outlined in an insurance policy. The payments are useful for keeping the cost of insurance low. The amount varies, with lower deductibles generally associated with higher premiums. They are fairly standard on most types of policies, especially ones related to automotive or health coverage. Purpose The main purpose of a deductible is to prevent people from making claims when the cost associated with a loss, damage or need is fairly small. This leaves the company more time and financial resources to handle more costly claims. These fees also make insurance more affordable, because when the policy holder shares some of the claim costs, the issuer doesn’t need to charge excessively high premiums. They let consumers manipulate policy costs, as well, which enables them to get coverage without too much of a financial strain. How It Works When a person needs to make a claim, he first “meets” (pays in full) the deductible. The insured individual therefore has to put some of his own money forward to cover his loss, damage or need."

There are several components that can make up your insurance policy: Liability coverage protects you if you are at fault for a collision. It pays for medical expenses and vehicle damage for the other driver and passengers. Uninsured motorist coverage pays for damages to your car and medical expenses if an uninsured driver hits your car. Collision coverage pays to repair your vehicle, if you were at fault for the damage. Underinsured motorist coverage pays damages for your car if someone hits it, but doesn't have enough insurance to cover your medical expenses and car damages.

The company that receives (or \"\"assumes\"\") the insurance risk (and associated reinsurance premiums) is called the \"\"Reinsurance Company\"\" and the company that transfers (or \"\"cedes\"\") the risk (and associated premium) is called the \"\"ceding company\"\". How much risk does the Reinsurance Company have? This depends upon the agreement between the Insurance Company and the Reinsurance Company. And even though it might seem like the Reinsurance Company should take as little risk as possible, this would mean that they (i.e. the Reinsurance Company) would get as little of the associated premiums as possible. If the Reinsurance Company has determined that the business is (or should be) profitable, then it would be in the Reinsurance Company's best interest to \"\"assume\"\" as much risk and associated premiums as possible at the least cost (or \"\"Ceding Fee\"\"). What is the cost of Reinsurance? The cost of reinsurance varies greatly, and it is based upon industry standards and the product and or products being reinsured. The cost of Reinsurance is described as a \"\"Ceding Fee\"\" or \"\"Ceding Allowance\"\", and consists of the payment from the Reinsurance Company to the Insurance Company as compensation for \"\"assuming\"\" the risk (and associated premiums)."

Typical costs: Pet insurance for a cat typically costs between $15 and $18 per month, depending on the age. Pet insurance for a dog typically costs and between $22 and $28 per month, depending on age and breed. Most companies offer at least two levels of coverage: basic and premium. Related articles: Owning a Cat, Owning a Dog What should be included: Plans usually offer coverage for an array of illnesses and injuries -- usually up to a predetermined per-year and per-condition cap. A few examples of conditions usually covered include diabetes, pancreatitis, cancer, intestinal obstructions and fractures. The pet owner almost always pays the veterinarian at the time of service, then files a claim and is reimbursed by the insurance company, usually within 30 days. Additional costs: In addition to the monthly premium, most pet insurance companies have deductibles of $50 or more and require copays of 10 to 50 percent. Most pet insurance companies do not cover pre-existing conditions, so owners must pay all related expenses. Some plans do not cover conditions considered congenital, such as hip dysplasia."

"text": "HDHP vs PPO: How to Compare Health Plans Jonathan Duong, CFA, CFP® 2 Comments Employee Benefits, Insurance Since it’s open enrollment time for many of my clients, I’ve recently been reviewing quite a few different health plan options for the coming year. Given that health insurance costs keep climbing for employers and employees alike, it’s critical to understand your options and make the right choice. Thus, I thought it would be helpful to share an example of how to compare two of the more common health insurance options offered through a major employer: A high-deductible health plan (HDHP) with an HSA vs a preferred provider organization (PPO) plan. When it Comes to Health Plans, It’s Always Facts and Circumstances As fair warning, none of what you read here should be considered a rule of thumb or as a recommendation of one type of plan over another. When it comes to health plans, you always need to look at the facts of your specific plan. The premiums, deductibles, out-pocket-maximums, and your employer’s HSA contribution can totally change the decision from one plan to the next. Don’t assume that a high-deductible plan automatically means that you’ll pay more out of pocket. Likewise, the premiums for your PPO plan might be similar to, or even less than the, high-deductible plan you might be considering. Finally, keep in mind that how you use the healthcare you have access to can greatly impact which plan is right for you. If you visit the doctor frequently, are taking a lot of prescription medications, or expect that you may have a significant medical event on the horizon (e.g. a pregnancy or surgery), you need to carefully consider your options before making a decision."

Either way, the death benefit is considered to be an important feature of an annuity. While some insurance companies structure the death benefit differently, it usually means that upon the annuitant's death, the beneficiary will receive at minimum the amount of premiums paid by the annuitant.

"text": "\"Flag What is the symbol on the back of the US 1 dollar bill? Answer by Jay Kay Confidence votes 89.6KThe symbol on the back of the U. S. dollar bill is the Great Seal of the United States. Here is the explanation provided by the Treasury Department: The Great Seal of the United States on Paper Currency The face (obverse) of the Great Seal first appeared on the back of the $20 Gold Certificate, Series 1905. In 1935, both the face and back (reverse) of the seal appeared for the first time on paper money on $1 Silver Certificates. Mandated by the First Continental Congress in 1776, the Great Seal took many years of work by multiple individuals and committees before final adoption in 1782. The Department of State is the official keeper of the seal. A description and explanation of both the obverse and reverse of the seal comes from the Department of State pamphlet \"\"The Great Seal of the United States\"\" (September 1996): Obverse Side of the Great Seal: The most prominent feature is the American bald eagle supporting the shield, or escutcheon, which is composed of 13 red and white stripes, representing the original States, and a blue top which unites the shield and represents Congress. The motto E Pluribus Unum (Out of many, one), alludes to this union. The olive branch and 13 arrows denote the power of peace and war, which is exclusively vested in Congress. The constellation of stars denotes a new State taking its place and rank among other sovereign powers."

"text": "\"The phrase \"\"e pluribus unum\"\" is Latin, and it translates literally as \"\"out of many, one.\"\" Many people are familiar with this phrase from the context of the Great Seal of the United States, which appears on some American currency and government documents. Several organizations have also adopted the phrase as their mottos, both in the United States and abroad. This phrase has murky origins that are difficult to pin down. A similar phrase appears in the works of Virgil, specifically in a recipe for salad, or at least so claims Bill Bryson in Made in America, a survey of American English. The term was also used by Gentlemen's Magazine, a popular publication among the upper classes in the 18th century. Every year, the publication would print an issue featuring the best work from the previous year, and undoubtedly the upper class Americans in the government of the nascent nation would have been familiar with the magazine and this annual \"\"best of\"\" issue. Ad Whatever the origins, \"\"e pluribus unum\"\" was adopted by Congress in 1782 as an official motto, along with \"\"annuit coeptis\"\" (\"\"he has approved our undertakings\"\") and \"\"novus ordo seclorum\"\" (\"\"a new order for the ages\"\"). Almost immediately, the phrase was being integrated into design proposals for the Great Seal of the United States, and by 1795, it was also appearing on American currency. Incidentally, American currency was not widely standardized until the middle of the 19th century; prior to this period, banks freely printed their own currency, and shopkeepers also had to accept foreign currency, keeping a formidable table of exchange rates in their heads."

Is it Illuminati? The Great Seal of the United States The all-seeing eye and the pyramid first appeared on the reverse side of the seal of the United States in a design approved by Congress in 1782. Following the signing of the Declaration of Independence officially giving birth to the United States of America, a committee was formed to create an emblem to encapsulate the ideologies of the new nation. Pendant seals were commonly used to authenticate official communication at the period, so the committee, including Founding Fathers Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and John Adams, set about designing the two sides of the Great Seal of the United States."

"text": "Posts tagged as:triangle All Seeing Eye (Eye of Providence, Eye of God)This ubiquitous image is most often referred to as the all seeing eye or “ eye of providence .” The eye, usually depicted in the sky looking out upon the earth, is an ancient symbol of the sun, and historically has been used as a symbol of omniscience. The idea of the solar eye comes to us from the egyptians, who equated the eye with the deity Osiris; the human eye in its ability to perceive light was viewed as a miniature sun. The use of the eye emblem to represent God was quite common in the Renaissance; often, the eye would be enclosed within a triangle representing the triune godhead. Such an emblem can be found in numerous examples of Christian art. This emblem was eventually adopted by Freemasons as a symbol for the Great Architect. A version of this symbol, elaborate onto the capstone of a pyramid (perhaps in a nod the symbol’s origins in Egypt) forms part of the Seal of the United States, accompanied by the slogan,Annuit Coeptis, “It (Providence) has favored our undertakings. ”Eye surrounded by angels Related Symbols: { 28comments }Alchemical Water (Elemental Water, “Chalice”)The alchemical/magical symbol for water is an inverted triangle, symbolizing downward flow.

"text": "Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load What is a 'Lump-Sum Payment'A lump-sum payment is a one-time payment for the value of an asset such as an annuity or another retirement vehicle. A lump-sum payment is usually taken in lieu of recurring payments distributed over a period of time. The value of a lump-sum payment is generally less than the sum of all payments that you would otherwise receive, since the party paying the lump-sum payment is being asked to provide more funds up front than it otherwise would have been required to. Next Up Term Certain Annuity Deferred Payment Annuity Annuitization Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit ... BREAKING DOWN 'Lump-Sum Payment'There are pros and cons to accepting lump-sum payments over annuitized payments, and in most cases, the right choice depends on the value of the lump sum versus the payments and your financial goals. How Lump-Sum and Annuitized Payments Work To illustrate how lump-sum and annuitized payments work, imagine you won a lottery worth $1.5 billion. If you choose a lump-sum payment, you receive $930 million immediately, and if you choose annuitized payments, you receive $1.5 billion over 30 years. With the lump-sum payment, the IRS takes 25% in taxes off the top, but because these earnings push you into the top tax bracket, you ultimately pay about 40% in income tax, reducing your lump-sum payment to $558 million. In contrast, the annuity payments vary each year and get larger annually. The first one is about $16 million while the final payment in the 30th year is roughly $65 million. On average, each annual payment is $50 million."

The Egyptian pyramid is a symbol of strength and duration; the 13 steps indicate the original number of U. S. states; and the 13 steps leading to an unfinished summit indicates future growth of the nation. The eye is known as the \"\"Eye of Providence\"\" and is surrounded by rays of light.

"text": "What E Pluribus Unum Means March 22, 2012 Daven Hiskey 21 comments Today I found out what “E pluribus unum” means. E pluribus unum translates from Latin to English as follows: “e” meaning “from” or “out of”; “pluribus” being the ablative plural of the Latin for “more”; and “unum” meaning “one”. Thus, “E pluribus unum” simply means “from many, one” or “out of many, one”. This Latin phrase was once the United States’ motto and can be found on the official seal of the U. S., among other places. It is thought to have been borrowed from the cover of a popular English periodical, The Gentlemen’s Magazine. This particular magazine was an extremely popular and influential men’s magazine among the elite and highly educated. While some of the content of the magazine was original, much of it was gathered from other sources (hence the word “magazine”, meaning “storehouse”, being used for the first time to describe a periodical). On the cover of this periodical, they’d generally include the phrase “E Pluribus Unum” signifying they gathered the content from a variety of sources. Pierre-Eugène Ducimetière, the artistic consultant for the design of the official seal of the U. S., The Great Seal, suggested that this be placed on the seal, which it finally was in 1782 after three major revisions to the seal design. In this context, this was meant to signify the 13 colonies forming one unified government."

A death benefit may be a percentage of the annuitant's pension. For example, a beneficiary might be entitled to 65% of the annuitant's monthly pension at the time the annuitant passes away. Alternatively, a death benefit may be a large lump-sum payment from a life insurance policy.

"text": "\"Home » Fixed Index Annuities A Beginner's Tutorial for Fixed Index Annuities Written by Hersh Stern Updated Wednesday, March 14, 2018A Fixed Index Annuity is a tax-favored accumulation product issued by an insurance company. It shares features with fixed deferred interest rate annuities; however, with an index annuity, the annual growth is bench-marked to a stock market index (e.g., Nasdaq, NYSE, S&P500) rather than an interest rate. An index annuity’s growth is subject to rate floors and caps, meaning it will not exceed or fall below the specified return levels even if the underlying stock indices fluctuate outside of those set parameters. In simplest terms, the insurance company bears the risk of a sharp stock market decline with this type of annuity. You cannot lose any of your principal with a fixed index annuity, and your potential gains are usually capped at a rate between 3% and 9%. Many fixed index annuities also offer premium bonuses, but usually at the expense of lower potential gains. Fixed Index Annuities Offer Tax Deferral One advantage that a fixed index annuity has over a mutual fund or a bank Certificate of Deposit (CD) is that earnings grow on a tax-deferred basis. This means you pay no income taxes until you withdraw money from the annuity. This is especially important when you buy your index annuity with personal savings (so-called after-tax or “non-qualified” funds). Index annuities can also be purchased using rollover funds, funds transferred from a tax-qualified plan (i.e. IRA), or with a lump sum distribution from a 401k or pension plan."

S. currency, with some exceptions to the letter spacing (e.g. the U. S. dime reverse side). ( See US coinage and paper bills in circulation) E pluribus unum referred to the integration of the 13 independent colonies into one united country, and has taken on an additional meaning, given the pluralistic nature of American society from immigration. The motto itself has thirteen letters. The motto was selected by the first Great Seal committee in 1776, at the beginning of the American Revolution. Pierre Eugene Du Simitière originally suggested e pluribus unum as the motto. When the Continental Congress approved this motto for the Great Seal in 1782, they simultaneously approved two other mottos: Annuit Coeptis (the beginning is approved) and Novus Ordo Seclorum (a new order of the ages), as official national mottos. Today \"\"In God We Trust\"\" is printed on most U. S. currency. In 1956, e pluribus unum was superseded by \"\" [ [In God We Trust]]\"\" as the national motto by United States Code, Title 36, Subtitle I, Part A, Chapter 3, Section 302."

Answer This is indeed a disc herniation (preferred term to herniated nucleus pulposus), but the best answer is 3, a disc extrusion. Utilizing the recommendations of the combined task force of the North American Spine Society, the American Society of Spine Radiology, and the American Society of Neuroradiology, a disc extrusion refers to a herniated disc that has an apex that is larger than its base in any plane. Introduction Significant historical variations in terminology are found in the reporting of intervertebral disc abnormalities. Juan Taveras, M. D, one of the founding members of the American Society of Neuroradiology, preferred to call a herniated disc just that, a herniated disc. 1 Though this may seem like a simplification of a complex process, there is merit in this approach. The basis of variations in spine terminology is in part secondary to the varying perspectives of physicians who manage patients with disc herniations."

"text": "\"Title: Self-watering plant container United States Patent 6134833Abstract: A self-regulating, automatic watering planter comprised of an inner shell and outer shell with a snap-fit engagement to form a reservoir for water between the walls of the inner and outer shells. The inner shell has small holes in the bottom thereof to allow water to enter soil contained in the inner shell. An airtight seal between the inner and outer shells creates a vacuum at the top of the reservoir as the water seeps through the holes and the water level drops. The water in the walls provides hydrostatic pressure that drives the water through the inlet holes. The water stops when the vacuum reaches a sufficient level to counteract the hydrostatic pressure. An air tube coupled to the air space on top of the reservoir and having a hydrophilic polyethylene sensor blocking one end is buried in the soil. The hydrophilic sensor blocks air flow into the air space when there is sufficient water in the soil, but when the soil is dry, the hydrophilic sensor lets air into the air space thereby lowering the vacuum level. This allows more water to enter the soil until the vacuum level again reaches a level to counteract the hydrostatic pressure. Inventors: Bachman, Lynn C. (Los Altos, CA) Mehta, Pinal V.

I am sure that you have heard of plenty of car accident cases involving whiplash, herniated discs, and pinched nerves. One of the lesser known injuries is an annular tear. While still somewhat common, the annular tear is often more serious than some of the injuries mentioned above, typically producing more pain than your “average” disc injury. Understanding an Annular Tear To fully appreciate the science behind an annular tear, we need a recap of some basic spinal anatomy. The spinal cord is made up of circular bones called vertebrae. Between each vertebra, there is a ligament called the intervertebral disc. This ligament has a tissue center known as the nucleus pulposus, which is covered by annulus fibrosis. Think of this as the shield that protects the soft inner core of the disc, which also happens to connect the vertebrae above and below the disc."

Share Email Print Feedback Practice Essentials Cervical disc disorders encountered in physiatric practice include herniated nucleus pulposus (HNP), degenerative disc disease (DDD), and internal disc disruption (IDD). HNP (seen in the image below) is defined as localized displacement of nucleus, cartilage, fragmented apophyseal bone, or fragmented anular tissue beyond the intervertebral disc space. [ 1] Most of the herniation is made up of the annulus fibrosus. DDD involves degenerative annular tears, loss of disc height, and nuclear degradation. IDD describes annular fissuring of the disc without external disc deformation. Cervical radiculopathy can result from nerve root injury in the presence of disc herniation or stenosis, most commonly foraminal stenosis, leading to sensory, motor, or reflex abnormalities in the affected nerve root distribution.

Erythema annulare centrifugum (EAC) refers to an annular (ring-shaped) erythematous (red) skin eruption that tends to spread outwards whilst clearing centrally. What causes it? The cause of EAC is unknown but it is probably due to a hypersensitivity reaction to a variety of agents including drugs, insect or spider bites, infections (bacterial, mycobacterial, viral, fungal), food ingestion (such as blue cheese), malignancies or some underlying diseases. In most cases no cause will be found for the EAC. What does it look like? Some people with EAC may have no symptoms whilst others experience mild itching associated with the rash. EAC usually begins as a small raised pink-red spot that slowly enlarges forming a ring shape while the central area flattens and clears. There may be an inner rim of scale. Sometimes the lesions do not form complete rings but grow into irregular shapes."

definition of stenosis in cervical region< 13 mm AP diameter, or< 0.8 times the AP diameter of the adjacent vertebral body Central canal stenosis may be exaggerated by Hypertrophy of ligamentum flavum Hypertrophy and osteophyte formation of the facet joints Annular bulging of the disc Thickening of the lamina Lateral recess stenosis can result from Loss of disc height and over-riding facets Facet joint osteophyte formation Hypertrophy of ligamentum flavum / capsule of the joint Posterior annular bulge Extradural arachnoid cysts Perineural cysts Arrangements of nerve roots within the thecal sac The most posterior roots are always the 5 th sacral roots The other roots are added progressively toward anterior At the L5-S1 disc level, the most anterior nerve root is the S1 nerve root Motor fibres are antero-medial within the roots and the sensory fibres postero-lateral The dorsal root ganglion lies in the neuroforamen, with a small motor component anteriorly and a larger sensory component posteriorly Blood supply of the cauda equina The blood supply of the cauda equina and spinal nerve roots is from cephalad to caudad As the nerve root traverses the neuroforamen the blood supply is from caudad to cephalad Pathogenesis The commonest cause in the elderly (esp. females) is degenerative L4/L5 spondylolisthesis Pathoanatomy of disc degeneration The intervertebral discs are fibro-cartilaginous structures that separate vertebral bodies and provide shock absorbance within the intervertebral joint The annulus fibrosis is composed of 50% type I collagen and 50% type II collagen The nucleus pulposus is comprised exclusively of type II fibres With aging process the water content of the intervertebral discs decreases The proteoglycan content is replaced by collagen fibers The precise molecular mechanism that underlie this process is not known Dehydration of the nucleus pulposus decreases its ability to distribute stress and consequently Fissures and tears develop within the annulus The discs lose height Annular bulges develop Disc herniates These changes increase stresses on the facet joints, which causes Arthritic changes Osteophyte formation Sclerosis of the endplates Occasionally, instability Ligamentum flavum, which is normally elastic, hypertrophies and becomes more rigid Hypertrophic changes result in narrowing of the spinal canal and neuronal foramina Compress the cord and nerve roots The vasculature can also be compromised, resulting in ischemia Pathophysiology Compression Does not cause pain per se It will result in paraesthesias, sensory deficits, motor loss and reflex abnormalities Affects the afferent fibres first, while recovery is quickest in the efferent (motor) fibres Local neural inflammation Produces the pain Inflammation may be caused by stretching of the nerve In a normal person, the S1 nerve root may move as much as 5 mm within the neuroforamen upon straight leg raising Degeneration may prevent movement of the nerve and cause increased internal tension and disruptions of neural architecture Possibly, vascular steal or venous congestion / stasis is involved in pathophysiology Nutritional factors Ameliorating factors may decrease symptoms of spinal stenosis Proper hydration Eating fruits and vegetables Aggravating factors which have been proposed to induce inflammation and oxidative damage Smoking Alcohol Increases the risk of falling, which can aggravate symptoms of spinal stenosis Does not affect the risk of developing stenosis per se Caffeine Red meat Definitive data supporting these measures is currently lacking Natural History Epidemiology Incidence1.5 - 6% of population0.5% of Americans over 50 years old (250,000 - 500,000)Incidence is expected to increase as the population gets older M=FUsually over 50 years old Mean age for women is 73, slightly less for men Occurs earlier in achondroplastics (around 40)Does not seem to have a clear correlation with any specific race or body type Prognosis In absence of instability, the course of disease is fairly stable Severe debilitating neurological deterioration in patients who have been managed non-operatively is rare Complete resolution of symptoms is also rare If left untreated, the symptoms of unstable spinal stenosis become progressively worse Leg weakness can progress to complete loss of functionality and inability to ambulate Loss of sensation in the lower extremities can lead to increased propensity to fall, leading to increased fracture risk Eventually, loss of bowel and bladder function and loss of sexual function may occur Clinical Presentation History Symptoms usually do not develop until the seventh decade The early symptoms are often insidious in onset Vague complaints of low back pain and stiffness are often the initial symptoms Most commonly affects the 3 rd, 4 th and 5 th motion segments of the lumbar spine May have previous history of disc prolapse or chronic backache

stenosis Corresponds to the L5 nerve root in almost 90% of cases S1 root is involved in around 60% of cases Examination Loss of lumbar lordosis is typical May reveal neurological deficit, but frequently normal Most common neurological abnormality is weakness in the L5 distribution Straight leg test and other root tension signs are characteristically negative Stress neurological test : symptoms can be induced / worsened by getting the patient to walk first, until the pain is felt Symmetrical loss of knee and ankle jerks can be a normal part of aging, but asymmetrical loss of reflexes is significant Differential diagnosis Lumbar spondylosis Vascular claudication Pain is maximal in thighs rather than the calves Associated with paraesthesia and weakness after walking

Nursemaid’s elbow is a common injury in young children. It occurs most often around age two and is rarely seen after age eight. Lifting the child up a step by the hand, giving the hand a sudden jerk, or pulling the child away from a dangerous situation can result in a subluxation or complete dislocation of one of the bones in the elbow. This condition is also known as pulled elbow or radial head dislocation. This guide will help you understand:what can cause this conditionwhat the symptoms arehow your health care professional will diagnose the conditionwhat treatment options are availablewhat Davis and De Rosa Physical Therapy’s approach to rehabilitation is Anatomy What part of the elbow does this problem affect? The bones of the elbow are the humerus (the upper arm bone), the ulna (the larger bone of the forearm, on the opposite side of the thumb), and the radius (the smaller bone of the forearm on the same side as the thumb). The elbow itself is essentially a hinge joint, meaning it bends and straightens like a hinge. But there is a second joint where the end of the radius (the radial head) meets the humerus. The knob on the end of the humerus is called the capitellum."

There are five different categories of radial annular tears (grade I - V) which we will discuss further below. Radial tears which will reach the outer one third of the posterolateral annulus are believed to be symptomatic and the main cause of internal disc disruption (IDD, discogenic pain syndrome). They are also believed to be the major cause of patients with isolated disc resorption. Figure #1 shows a ' full-thickness R adial tear ( Grade III) that completely bisects the disc. This particular tear would be classified as a 'Grade 3 radial tear in accordance with the 'modified Dallas Discogram naming system, which is the 'gold standard' when it comes to describing these tears. Radial anular tears are strongly associated with disc degeneration (3) which makes the annulus fibrosus more dry and brittle, and may be a consequence of a single traumatic event, repetitive trauma, and/or poor genetics for the materials that the annulus fibrosus are constructed of (type II and III collagen). Nuclear ‘cleft’ formation, which are cracks that occur within a degenerated nucleus, are thought to be the precursors for the formation of a radial tear. With time and/or trauma these nuclear clefts will progress outwardly (radically) in a parallel or obliquely parallel fashion. Although radial annular tear usually occur in the L5 disc (they occur in this disc more frequently than all the other discs put together), there also commonly seen in the L4 disc and less commonly seen in the others.

See also: List of cutaneous conditions Cutaneous condition Classification and external resources Specialty Dermatology [ edit on Wikidata]A cutaneous condition is any medical condition that affects the integumentary system —the organ system that encloses the body and includes skin, hair, nails, and related muscle and glands. [ 1] The major function of this system is as a barrier against the external environment. [ 2]Conditions of the human integumentary system constitute a broad spectrum of diseases, also known as dermatoses, as well as many nonpathologic states (like, in certain circumstances, melanonychia and racquet nails ). [ 3] [4] While only a small number of skin diseases account for most visits to the physician, thousands of skin conditions have been described. [ 5] Classification of these conditions often presents many nosological challenges, since underlying causes and pathogenetics are often not known. [ 6] [7] Therefore, most current textbooks present a classification based on location (for example, conditions of the mucous membrane ), morphology ( chronic blistering conditions ), cause ( skin conditions resulting from physical factors ), and so on. [ 8] [9]Clinically, the diagnosis of any particular skin condition is made by gathering pertinent information regarding the presenting skin lesion (s), including the location (such as arms, head, legs), symptoms ( pruritus, pain), duration (acute or chronic), arrangement (solitary, generalized, annular, linear), morphology (macules, papules, vesicles ), and color (red, blue, brown, black, white, yellow). [ 10] The diagnosis of many conditions often also requires a skin biopsy which yields histologic information [11] [12] that can be correlated with the clinical presentation and any laboratory data.

"text": "\"What is an Annular Ring? When traces on a circuit board need to connect to another layer, they typically end up on a pad and then through a via on that pad go to connect to another layer. An annular ring is the area on the pad that surrounds the via. The width of the annular ring is important design and manufacturing consideration. During manufacturing there are many conditions that can cause the drilled hole to not be dead-center (even though that is how it is on your CAD design). For example, during the drilling process, the drill bit may wander slightly, or during lamination process some of the layers may have shifted slightly, or during imaging the registration is not 100% dead center and so on. In fact, it is almost never the case that the manufactured hole is exactly dead center on the pad as designed in the CAD. Thus, if the designer provides a wide annular ring area in the design, it is likely to ensure that in the manufactured printed circuit board we still retain good electrical connectivity between pad and the hole. If the annular ring width is not enough, then during manufacturing, the hole could be almost touching the boundaries of the pad (called \"\"Tangency\"\") or in worst case, even go outside the boundary of the pad (\"\"breakout\"\"). As long as the manufactured hole is inside the pad and even touching the boundaries of the pad, that is generally an acceptable situation."

Super Coder Posted 6 Year (s) ago Learn the Moderate Sedation Ground Rules It’s easy to confuse the various levels of sedation your physician might provide, so start with the basics:• Anesthesiologists don’t provide moderate sedation. As the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA)points out, “It is important to note that anesthesiologists provide anesthesia (0XXXX codes) services. The moderate sedation codes were developed for cases where nonanesthesiologist physicians sedate patients” (December 2005 ASA newsletter).• Your physician might provide moderate sedation under different circumstances. “ When an anesthesiologist is performing a nerve block/injection procedure, he or she is classified as the ‘surgeon,’” says Joanne Mehmert, CPC, CCCPM, ACS-PM, of Joanne Mehmert and Associates in Kansas City, Mo. Once your provider shifts from an anesthesia provider role to the provider (or surgeon) performing the service, you’re in the realm of moderate sedation.• You still need a qualified independent observer present in addition to the physician completing the service. The same physician cannot safely sedate the patient, monitor his or her condition, and perform the diagnostic or therapeutic service. Another qualified observer must be present during the procedure to monitor the patient and assist in sedation services.• Moderate sedation does not include minimal or deep sedation. “ CPT makes it clear that the moderate sedation codes are for sedation other than those described by the anesthesia codes,” says Maggie M. Mac, CPC, CEMC, CHC, CMM, ICCE, consulting manager for Pershing, Yoakley and Associates in Clearwater, Fla. “Moderate sedation does not include minimal sedation (anxiolysis), deep sedation, or monitored anesthesia care (MAC).”Choose Code Family Based on Involvement CPT divides moderate sedation codes into two families. “ Both sets of codes are then further broken down based on the age of the patient and incremental time,” Mac says.• If the same physician provides moderate sedation and performs the procedure, choose from 99143-+99145 (Moderate sedation services [other than those services described by codes 00100-01999] provided by the same physician performing the diagnostic or therapeutic service that the sedation supports, requiring the presence of an independent trained observer to assist in the monitoring of the patient’s level of consciousness and physiological status …)."

In normal conditions, blood flows through an open mitral valve during diastole with contraction of the left atrium, and the mitral valve closes during systole with contraction of the left ventricle. The valve opens and closes because of pressure differences, opening when there is greater pressure in the left atrium than ventricle, and closing when there is greater pressure in the ventricle than atrium.

There may be weakness, numbness, and pain that radiates down the leg. Despite its name, degenerative disc disease is not a disease, but a natural occurrence that comes with aging. The rubbery discs between the vertebrae normally allow for flexing and bending of the back, like shock absorbers. In time, they become worn, and they no longer offer as much protection as before. Treatment The disc will sometimes bulge between the vertebrae. This is known as a herniated disc. Treatment may include occupational therapy, physical therapy, or both, special exercises, medications, losing weight, and surgery. Medical options include injecting the joints next to the damaged disc with steroids and a local anesthetic. These are called facet joint injections."

Armstrong, MD, Cardiologist, North Shore Hospital, Auckland; Cardiologist, Waitemata Cardiology, Auckland Valvular Disorders Click here for Patient Education NOTE: This is the Professional Version. CONSUMERS: Click here for the Consumer Version (See also Overview of Cardiac Valvular Disorders . ) Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is insufficiency of the tricuspid valve causing blood flow from the right ventricle to the right atrium during systole. The most common cause is dilation of the right ventricle. Symptoms and signs are usually absent, but severe TR can cause neck pulsations, a holosystolic murmur, and right ventricular–induced heart failure or atrial fibrillation. Diagnosis is by physical examination and echocardiography. TR is usually benign and does not require treatment, but some patients require annuloplasty or valve repair or replacement. Etiology Symptoms and Signs Diagnosis Prognosis Treatment Key Points Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) usually occurs in a normal valve affected by RV dilation; less often there is an intrinsic valve disorder (eg, due to infective endocarditis, carcinoid syndrome, certain drugs). Jugular venous distention may occur; severe TR may cause abdominal distension, hepatic enlargement, and peripheral edema. Heart sounds include a holosystolic murmur heard best at the left middle or lower sternal border or at the epigastrium when the patient is sitting upright or standing; the murmur becomes louder with inspiration."

"text": "Surgical technique: remodelling of the aortic root Patients who have aortic root pathology and normal aortic valve leaflets are suitable for a remodelling procedure. Along with preoperative echocardiographic and angiographic assessment of the aortic root, it is imperative that perioperative transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) is used in these patients. This will provide the surgeon with important information regarding the morphology of the aortic root and also the dimensions of the aortic annulus and severity of any aortic regurgitation. If the aortic annulus is also dilated (> 28 mm) on echocardiography and during perioperative measurement, the remodelling procedure can be combined with a surgical annuloplasty. TOE must also be used following the procedure to ensure that there is no residual aortic regurgitation. At surgery, the dilated sinuses and diseased ascending aorta are excised so that only 4–5 mm of aortic wall is left attached to the annulus. The coronary ostia are also mobilised and prepared for reimplantation. The diameter of the aortic annulus is then measured using metric sizers. If it is not dilated, then based on the previously described aortic root relations, a Dacron graft approximately 10% smaller than the size of the annulus is chosen to remodel the sinuses. 17 If the annulus is dilated and an annuloplasty is to be performed, then the leaflet dimensions are measured as described below."

This occurs when your heart's mitral valve doesn't close tightly. When the mitral valve doesn't work properly, blood can't move through your heart or to the rest of your body as efficiently as it should, making you feel tired or out of breath. Mitral valve regurgitation is also called mitral insufficiency or mitral incompetence. Q: What causes mitral valve regurgitation? A: Mitral valve regurgitation can be caused by many things, including mitral valve prolapse, damaged tissue cord, rheumatic fever, endocarditis, wear and tear on the valve, prior heart attack, untreated high blood pressure, and congenital heart defects. See below for more on each of the causes of mitral valve regurgitation. Q: What is mitral valve prolapse? A: Mitral valve prolapse is a condition in which the leaflets and tendon-like cords supporting the mitral valve weaken."

Cabasa, Mackram F. Eleid, Charanjit S. Rihal, Hector R. Villarraga, Thomas A. Foley and Rakesh M. Suri Author + information Key Words Sapien XT transcatheter tricuspid valve valve-in-ring We describe a percutaneous transcatheter tricuspid valve-in-ring implantation using the Sapien XT prosthesis (Edward Lifesciences, Irvine, California) (1,2). A 68-year-old woman with rheumatic heart disease and 2 previous sternotomies including tricuspid valve repair with a 32-mm Carpentier-Edwards (Irvine, California) annuloplasty ring presented 2 years prior with severe tricuspid valve regurgitation (annulus dilation and tenting of the leaflet) and pulmonary hypertension (right ventricular systolic pressure of 46 mm Hg) related to left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. After multidisciplinary evaluation, a percutaneous approach was recommended to avoid increased risk of third-time redo sternotomy. The procedure was planned using a cardiac computed tomography–derived 3-dimensional printed model created using an Objet Connex 350 printer (Stratasys, Eden Prairie, Minnesota) ( Figure 1 ). Using this model, the prosthesis size was selected and “test deployed” to verify adequacy ( Online Video 1 ). The actual transcatheter tricuspid valve-in-ring implantation was performed in the hybrid operating suite under general anesthesia. The right common femoral vein was accessed percutaneously. With an Amplatz super-stiff wire (Boston Scientific, Marlborough, Massachusetts) acting as a rail, a 29-mm Sapien XT valve was advanced across the tricuspid valve annulus. The stented valve was balloon inflated with an additional 1 cc of contrast saline solution to achieve optimal conical deployment ( Figure 2, Online Video 2 ). Transesophageal echocardiography showed only mild perivalvular regurgitation in the septal region, as predicted in the printed model."

"text": "\"Transcatheter mitral valve repair Authors: Ehrin J Armstrong, MD, MSc, FACC Elyse Foster, MD Section Editor: William H Gaasch, MD Deputy Editor: Susan B Yeon, MD, JD, FACCINTRODUCTIONTranscatheter mitral valve repair (TMVR) is a minimally invasive technique for treatment of symptomatic chronic moderate-severe or severe mitral regurgitation (MR). This article reviews TMVR, with a focus on the indications for treatment, patient selection, outcomes, and complications using the Mitra Clip device. ( See 'Available technology' below. ) An overview of management of chronic MR and surgical treatment of chronic MR are presented elsewhere. ( See \"\"Management of chronic primary mitral regurgitation\"\" and \"\"Surgical procedures for severe chronic mitral regurgitation\"\" . ) PATHOPHYSIOLOGYMitral regurgitation (MR) can be caused by a primary disease of the valve leaflets (so-called primary MR, which is most commonly caused by \"\"degenerative\"\" or myxomatous mitral valve disease in developed countries), or by secondary (functional) causes such as by adverse left ventricular remodeling from cardiomyopathy or coronary artery disease. ( See \"\"Pathophysiology of chronic mitral regurgitation\"\" and \"\"Clinical manifestations and diagnosis of chronic mitral regurgitation\"\" . ) AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGYWhile a number of technologies are in clinical development, an edge-to-edge leaflet repair device (the Mitra Clip) is currently the only US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved device for TMVR. The Mitra Clip, as well as the CARILLON mitral annuloplasty device, has CE Mark approval. ( See 'Investigational technologies' below. )"

"text": "Heart valve surgery is used to repair or replace diseased heart valves. Blood that flows between different chambers of your heart must flow through a heart valve. Blood that flows out of your heart into large arteries must also flow through a heart valve. These valves open up enough so that blood can flow through. They then close, keeping blood from flowing backward. There are 4 valves in your heart: Aortic valve Mitral valve Tricuspid valve Pulmonic valve The aortic valve is the most common valve to be replaced. The mitral valve is the most common valve to be repaired. Only rarely is the tricuspid valve or the pulmonic valve repaired or replaced.

"text": "\"To Contents Can the parties reinstate an expired option? By joel hoffman on Tuesday, December 19, 2000 - 09:47 pm: Two recent questioners in the DAU \"\"ASK A PROFESSOR\"\" Site, under Contract Law topic - see: http://web2.deskbook.osd.mil/askaprof/normal/ qlist.asp?cgi Subject Area ID=4&cgi Start=0&Refresh Field=20 , asked whether the Government could reinstate expired options. The 'professors' correctly stated that the Government couldn't unilaterally reinstate expired options - that there would have to be a bilateral agreement to reinstate. However, they also missed the other main point that, in my opinion, such an agreement is outside the scope of the contract, thus would require an exemption to full and open competition, under FAR Part 6 - before attempting to extend or modify the option. Am I correct? If not, why not? The terms in the contract allowing the Government to unilaterally exercise the options expired. I believe that there has to be an applicable contract provision or clause in the contract to authorize a supplemental agreement,reinstating or modifying the option. If the CHANGES Clause were applicable, the Government could unilaterally re-instate the option or at least issue a change order, reinstating with a price adjustment. The CHANGES Clause doesn't apply because the Government CAN'T unilaterally incorporate the option at an adjusted price or unilaterally incorporate the option."

[ n 3]Before 1868: The parliamentary borough of Windsor [n 4] was based upon the easternmost town in Berkshire in South East England, which grew up around Windsor Castle and the narrowly defined electorate could also vote for the county representatives.1868–1918: The boundaries of the parliamentary borough were extended by the Parliamentary Boundaries Act 1868 (31 & 32 Vict., c. 46). The north boundary of the constituency was on the River Thames, which was then the border between Buckinghamshire which had a seat of the same name and Berkshire, likewise the rest of the borough adjoined the Berkshire county constituency. Between 1885–1918 the seat to the north of the Thames was the Wycombe division of Buckinghamshire and the other neighbouring constituency was the Wokingham division of Berkshire.1918–1950: The parliamentary borough was abolished and replaced by a county division named Windsor. The local government areas (as they existed in 1918) which comprised the constituency were the Municipal Boroughs of New Windsor, and Maidenhead, with the Rural Districts of Cookham, Easthampstead, Windsor and a part of Wokingham.1950–1974: The constituency was reduced in size by the Representation of the People Act 1948, so it comprised the Municipal Boroughs of New Windsor and Maidenhead, with the Rural Districts of Cookham and Windsor. In 1974 the same area less Eton and Bracknell was included in a new constituency named Windsor and Maidenhead; this area plus Eton became the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead established in 1974.1997–2010: In 1997 the Windsor constituency was recreated to sever off the expanded town of Maidenhead to the northwest and with it Cookham."

So, based on your personality, what Semblance would you have? I tend to overanalyze things to the point of tedium. A running joke among my friends is that a bomb could go off and I would be standing there determining whether it's napalm or gasoline that ignited instead of running. As of such, my Semblance would likely be a form of clairvoyance, similar to the Spider-Sense or the Byakugan from Naruto. I'd be able to detect every nook and cranny of everything within a certain distance of me. I'd use this to have a much more fluid combat style than other fighters of similar skill, because I'd know whose shooting when (both enemies and allies alike) so that I could dodge and assist in ways that someone with normal vision could not.

"text": "\"Normative Sociologyby Alex Tabarrok June 19, 2015 at 7:29 am in Economics Philosophy Excellent post by Joseph Heath: The whole “normative sociology” concept has its origins in a joke that Robert Nozick made, in Anarchy, State and Utopia, where he claimed, in an offhand way, that “Normative sociology, the study of what the causes of problems ought to be, greatly fascinates us all” (247). Despite the casual manner in which he made the remark, the observation is an astute one. Often when we study social problems, there is an almost irresistible temptation to study what we would like the cause of those problems to be (for whatever reason), to the neglect of the actual causes. When this goes uncorrected, you can get the phenomenon of “politically correct” explanations for various social problems – where there’s no hard evidence that A actually causes B, but where people, for one reason or another, think that A ought to be the explanation for B. This can lead to a situation in which denying that A is the cause of B becomes morally stigmatized, and so people affirm the connection primarily because they feel obliged to, not because they’ve been persuaded by any evidence. Let me give just one example, to get the juices flowing. I routinely hear extraordinary causal powers being ascribed to “racism” — claims that far outstrip available evidence. Some of these claims may well be true, but there is a clear moral stigma associated with questioning the causal connection being posited – which is perverse, since the question of what causes what should be a purely empirical one. Questioning the connection, however, is likely to attract charges of seeking to “minimize racism.” ( Indeed, many people, just reading the previous two sentences, will already be thinking to themselves “Oh my God, this guy is seeking to minimize racism.”) There also seems to be a sense that, because racism is an incredibly bad thing, it must also cause a lot of other bad things."

The situation though is far worse in developing countries, especially in areas such as sub-Saharan Africa. Though academic research has shown that there has been a general reduction in extreme levels of poverty in developing countries across the globe, serious problems remain. A large section of the world’s poor are still left without the basic necessities of life, are malnourished and destitute. We asked Labs participants how they defined poverty and what they believed were the causes of extreme levels of poverty in developing countries, in deprivedregions such as sub-Saharan Africa.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Look up codependency in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. Codependency is a type of dysfunctional helping relationship where one person supports or enables another person's drug addiction, alcoholism, gambling addiction, poor mental health, immaturity, irresponsibility, or under-achievement. [ 1] Among the core characteristics of codependency, the most common theme is an excessive reliance on other people for approval and a sense of identity. [ 1] Given its grassroots origin, the precise definition of codependency varies based on the source but can be generally characterized as a subclinical and situational or episodic behavior similar to that of dependent personality disorder. [ 1] In its broadest definition, a codependent is someone who cannot function from their innate self and whose thinking and behavior is instead organized around another person, or even a process, or substance. [ 2] In this context, people who are addicted to a substance, like drugs, or a process, like gambling or sex, can also be considered codependent. In its most narrow definition, it requires one person to be physically or psychologically addicted, such as to heroin, and the second person to be psychologically dependent on that behavior. [ 3] Some users of the codependency concept use the word as an alternative to using the concept of dysfunctional families, without statements that classify it as a disease.

Davis, historically, the concept of co-dependence \"\"comes directly out of Alcoholics Anonymous, part of a dawning realization that the problem was not solely the addict, but also the family and friends who constitute a network for the alcoholic.\"\" [ 5] \"\"While not an actual diagnosis, the term “codependent” was first used to describe how family members of individuals with substance abuse issues might actually interfere with recovery by overhelping.\"\" ["

Here is how i define the word \"\"hoodoo\"\": Hoodoo consists of a large body of African folkloric practices and beliefs with a considerable admixture of American Indian botanical knowledge and European folklore. Although most of its adherents are black, contrary to popular opinion, it has always been practiced by both whites and blacks in America. Other regionally popular names for hoodoo in the black community include \"\"conjuration,\"\" \"\"conjure,\"\" \"\"witchcraft,\"\" \"\"rootwork,\"\" \"\"candle burning,\"\" and \"\"tricking.\"\" The first three are simply English words; the fourth is a recognition of the pre-eminence that dried roots play in the making of charms and the casting of spells, and the fifth and sixth are special meanings for common English words. Hoodoo is used as a noun to name both the system of magic (\"\"He used hoodoo on her\"\") and its practitioners (\"\"Doctor Buzzard was a great hoodoo in his day\"\")."

"text": "When is an Invention Obvious? By Gene Quinn February 1, 201435Print Article When attempting to determine whether an invention can be patented it is necessary to go through the patentability requirements in an effort to see whether patent claims can likely be obtained. Ideally you want patent claims that are meaningfully broad and commercially relevant, but at a minimum you must have claims that embody patent eligible subject matter, demonstrate a useful invention, cover a novel invention and which are non-obvious in light of the prior art. Obviousness is typically the real hurdle to patentability, and unfortunately the law of obviousness can be quite subjective and difficult to understand. At times obviousness determinations almost seems arbitrary. The basic obviousness inquiry was set forth by the United States Supreme Court in Graham v. John Deere nearly 50 years ago, and remains good law even today. In order to determine whether an invention is obvious one must work through this analytical framework: (1) Determine the scope and content of the prior art; (2) Ascertain the differences between the claimed invention and the prior art; (3) Resolve the level of ordinary skill in the pertinent art; and (4) Consider objective indicia of non-obviousness (i.e., are there secondary considerations of non-obviousness that suggest a patent should issue despite an invention seeming to be obvious). See Understanding Obviousness: John Deer and the Basics. While this seems easy enough, the application of these factors or considerations is exceptionally difficult. Prior to the Supreme Court’s decision in KSR v. Teleflex obviousness was rather mechanical."

"text": "Software Patent Basics: What Level of Description is Required? By Gene Quinn January 25, 20147Print Article The United States Supreme Court is poised this term to decide CLS Bank v. Alice Corporation, which could make meaningful strides toward settling once and for all the patent eligibility of software. The Supreme Court is known to like to dodge the most important questions we all need answered, and that trend is almost certainly going to continue in any decision in CLS Bank. But the Supreme Court won’t be able to dodge the fundamental question about whether software is patent eligible. The will likely, and unfortunately, dodge the question about what specifically must be recited in patent claims in order to properly define a software, or computer implemented invention. Software is now and will remain patentable in the United States even after the Supreme Court’s decision in CLS Bank. The Patent Act is replete with references to software and computer implemented inventions. In fact, in 2011 Congress essentially said that tax strategies could not be patented in and of themselves, but this exclusion relating to tax strategies does not render an otherwise patent eligible software program patent ineligible. Thus, Congress has spoken, and on this particular issue Congress will be the final word because there is no chance the Supreme Court will rule software patents unconstitutional. That issue is not even before the Court."

"text": "Understanding Obviousness: John Deere and the Basics By Gene Quinn October 10, 201522Print Article Determining what is obvious and, therefore, not patentable, is a difficult matter. Indeed, one of the most frustrating things I do as a patent attorney is advise inventors on whether their invention is obvious. It is frustrating not because of any failing or lack of knowledge on the part of the inventor, but it is frustrating because the legal determination about whether an invention is obvious seems completely subjective and sometimes even arbitrary. The big problem I have with obviousness is that it is so unevenly applied. In some technology areas nothing ever seems to be obvious, in other areas virtually everything seems to be obvious. This requires a patent attorney or patent agent to have familiarity with how patent examiners interpret the law of obviousness in a particular innovative area. You might suspect that this would mean that for low-tech gadgets it is more difficult to describe an invention that is non-obvious; while in high tech areas it would be easier to describe an invention as non-obvious. That frequently isn’t the case though, which leads to even greater frustration for inventors. If Irving Inventor could get a patent on that simple kitchen gadget how is it possible that my complex software program that has never existed before could be considered obvious? That is a good question, and one without a satisfactory answer in my opinion."

"text": "Science & Mathematics Zoology Are humans warm blooded or cold blooded?? What is the difference and what does it mean to us and other living things?? Follow 25 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: We are warm-blooded, like all mammals. Reptiles, amphibians and fish are cold-blooded. What it means is that we are able to keep our temperature relatively constant whereas the temperature of cold-blooded animals pretty varies much more and is dependent on their environment. Cold-blooded animals can to some extent control their temperature by moving around in their environment, so they may bask in the sun to warm up or move under a rock to cool down. the alternative and more correct term is endotherm (warm-blooded) and ectotherm (cold-blooded), endo meaning inside, ie. we regulate our temperature from the inside, ecto meaning outside, the temperature being regulated from the outside as in reptiles. There are some exceptions to this general rule, some fish as tuna or sharks can keep their temperature above that of the surrounding environment due to special physiological adaptations, this allows them keep up fast swimming speeds independent of the surrounding temperature. Some small mammals or birds like the humming bird may let their temperature vary with the outside temperature to some extent as that is engergetically less expensive for them."

In humans, a constant internal temperature is maintained by the balancing of metabolic heat with loss to the environment. The primary control center is the hypothalamus in the brain. To increase body temperature in cold conditions, the body can:increase metabolism in the mitochondria of cells (a specialized form of fat called brown fat is used when available)trigger increased activity of the muscles (shivering)constrict the arteries near the skin surfacestop the release of sweatcontract hair follicles to raise body hairs, trapping a warmer layer of air along the skin To decrease body heat in warm conditions, the reverse processes occur : decreased metabolism, vasodilation (flushing), increased sweating to cool by evaporation, and relaxation of the hair follicles to expose the skin to the air.

"text": "\"Steve Gartenberg Answered Jan 15, 2015Tickly coughs are most commonly caused by cold and flu viruses. We pick these viruses up mainly via our hands. These are then transferred to our noses and mouths before travelling to the back of our throat and upper airways (pharynx and larynx). If our immune system is not able to overcome this infection, viruses enter the tissues of the upper airways, causing inflammation. Unlike infection further down the respiratory tract , infection of the upper airways does not produce an excessive amount of mucus. However, what it does do is irritate the nerves lining the area, triggering the cough reflex. Tickly coughs can linger days or weeks after the infection appears to have resolved. Tickly coughs can be triggered by pollution, a smoky atmosphere or cold air. This is because the particles in the air you breathe are trapped by the mucous lining of your throat, causing irritation and the need to cough. Hayfever can also cause tickly coughs."

Since temperature relates to the thermal energy held by an object or a sample of matter, which is the kinetic energy of the random motion of the particle constituents of matter, an object will contain less thermal energy when it is cold than when it is hot. hence you can call it absence of heat with reference to one's body . Zohair · 7 years ago0 1 Comment Absence Of Heat Source (s):https://shorte.im/a8dzj? · 2 years ago0 0 Comment You're both right, but in different ways. You feel cold (your body is losing heat faster than it feels comfortable with) so you say it's cold.

They also have a slower metabolism, which is why they often spend long periods of time resting. However, being cold-blooded has an advantage: they do not have to eat as much as their warm-blooded counterparts."

Most cold medicines are pregnancy category B, meaning there is no good proof that they are safe, and no good proof that they’re not. Certain cold medicines such as pseudoephedrine and phenlyephrine are category C, meaning that animal studies have shown a risk to the fetus, but human studies are lacking. There is a chance of fetal harm if the drug is administered during pregnancy, but the potential benefits may outweigh the potential risk. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is good at reducing fever and aches, and is widely considered safe during pregnancy (although it has not been assigned to a preganancy category by the FDA). Ibuprofen, naproxen and other NSAIDS are pregnancy category C. Heated humidified air is safe, and helpful for reducing nasal congestion. Colds get better on their own. Cold medicines don’t shorten the duration of a cold. And in clinical studies, most cold medicines only reduce symptoms slightly. The cold does not pose any additional risk to the baby."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Health Conditions and Diseases Infectious Diseases Cold and Flu When does a cold stop being contagious? Flag When does a cold stop being contagious? Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. According to the article linked in the related links section below: A cold is contagious for at least a day before you come down with the symptoms. During that time you may be transmitting the cold virus to all of your buddies and co-workers even when you're feeling fine. Once you come down with the symptoms, a cold is contagious until the last of your symptoms go away. However, the author points out that the virus is most contagious when viral levels in your body are highest, so it is highly contagious before symptoms appear or when they first start appearing, but much less contagious 3-4 days after the first appearance of symptoms, as your immune system will have killed off most of the virus by then. The author recommends, If you're considering calling in to work, it's a good idea for at least the first three to four days when a cold is most contagious. If you're still sniffling and coughing at the end of that time period, you'll likely still be somewhat contagious, but less so. If you go to work, it's important to use a tissue to cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze and avoid contact with others as much as possible."

"text": "Antalgic Gait – Symptoms, Causes & Treatment Authored by Dr. Michael Nirenberg Reviewed by Dr. Tim Dutra Antalgic (painful) gait is when the patient attempts to avoid putting weight on one leg due to pain. If the patient is walking, he puts as little weight on the affected extremity as possible for the shortest time possible during the stance phase. The patient tries to minimize the amount of weight placed on the painful leg, knee, ankle, or foot while walking or running by altering their gait. The stride is shortened on the injured side, affecting the posture or style of the patient’s normal gait cycle. Antalgic gait can come on suddenly or gradually due to a disease or damage to a nerve or to the musculoskeletal system. It can be mild, moderate or severe, temporary or permanent. Antalgic gait can affect anyone at any age, but seniors and athletes seem to suffer from it more often and it is seen in men more than women. An example of antalgic gait coming on suddenly is when you sit on your foot or leg in an awkward position for a while. When you get up, your foot or leg feels like it’s being attacked by pins and needles. We are often told to “walk it off,” and as we do, we walk with an antalgic gait until our sensation comes back."

Share Email Print Feedback Introduction and Overview Physiatry (pronounced fizz ee at' tree) is the term used to describe the specialty of physical medicine and rehabilitation and is derived from 2 Greek words \"\"physikos\"\" (physical) and \"\"iatreia\"\" (art of healing). Physical medicine is defined as the application of physical agents (eg. water, heat, cold, light, electricity) and techniques (eg. massage, stretching/traction, exercise) for the purpose of healing. Rehabilitation is defined as the restoration of the patient to a condition of health or useful and constructive activity. [ 1]Through the first half of the last century, these 2 fields were not associated with each other. The confluence of these fields resulted from the introduction of technologic advances in the medical application of heat, massage, electrical stimulation, and radiography, as well as from the flood of debilitating injuries caused by 2 world wars, and from polio epidemics that affected even a US president. The American Board of Medical Specialties designated physiatry as a specialty in 1947. Recognizing the work of such pioneers as John Stanley Coulter, Frank Krusen, known as the \"\"father of Physical Medicine,\"\" and Howard Rusk, the \"\"father of Rehabilitation Medicine,\"\" the Veterans Administration established physical medicine and rehabilitation services in each of its facilities. The Baruch Committee (1943-52) established medical residencies and fellowships in US medical schools and hospitals through a series of grants and awards."

The Neurological Examination Cranial Nerves Sensory and Motor Examinations Reflex Testing Coordination Gait Testing Making Sense of Neurological Findings Reflex Testing Reflex testing incorporates an assessment of the function and interplay of both sensory and motor pathways. It is simple yet informative and can give important insights into the integrity of the nervous system at many different levels. Physiology of Reflexes Assessment of reflexes is based on a clear understanding of the following principles and relationships: Tendons connect muscles to bones, usually crossing a joint. When the muscle contracts, the tendon pulls on the bone, causing the attached structure to move. When the tendon is struck by the reflex hammer, stretch receptors contained within it generate an impulse that is carried via sensory nerves to the spinal cord. At this juncture, the message is transmitted across a synapse to an appropriate lower motor neuron. An upper motor neuron, whose cell body resides in the brain, also provides input to this synapse."

"text": "\"Tarsal coalition Tarsal bones (normal)Tarsal coalition (also known as peroneal spastic flatfoot, calcaneonavicular bar, talocalcaneal bar, tarsal synostosis, or tarsal dysostosis) is an abnormal connecting bridge of tissue between two normally-separate tarsal bones. The term 'coalition' means a coming together of two or more entities to merge into one mass. [ 1] The tissue connecting the bones, often referred to as a \"\"bar\"\", may be composed of fibrous or osseous tissue. The two most common types of tarsal coalitions are calcaneo - navicular and talo - calcaneal, comprising 90% of all tarsal coalitions. [ 2] There are other bone coalition combinations possible, but they are very rare. [ 3] Symptoms tend to occur in the same location, regardless of the location of coalition: on the lateral foot, just anterior and below the lateral malleolus. This area is called the sinus tarsi. [ 4]Contents [ hide ]1 Symptoms2 Causes3 Anatomy4 Diagnosis5 Treatment6 See also7 References8 External links Symptoms [ edit]The bones of children are very malleable in infancy. This will generally mean that, despite the presence of a coalition, the bones can deform enough to allow painless walking until the child's skeleton has matured enough. [ 5] 'Skeletal maturing' means that bone is laid down in the tissue that forms the immature bone shape gradually until adult bone is achieved at about the age of seventeen years in the feet."

"text": "FLATFOOT DEFORMITYFlatfoot deformity is a common problem associated with the lower extremity. It refers to a progressive and sometimes painful collapsing of the foot arch. There are different types of flatfoot deformities such as congenital bone and joint malformations, acquired deformities secondary to faulty biomechanics, traumatic injury, and a weakened muscle imbalance due to diseases. There is a genetic predisposition to the deformity but improper shoe gear and high impact activities over a period of time can be contributing factors. As the deformity progresses, patients will get increased cramping and fatigue in the legs and feet, they will develop an antalgic gait, difficulty with shoe gear, unwillingness to participate in strenuous activities secondary to the pain. It can become a frustrating deformity because as the structural bone changes occur, the body tries to adapt or compensate as a result, and other joints and muscles become affected. This can result in leg, knee, hip and back pain. The flatfoot deformity can manifest itself at an early age. Parents will notice an unusual gait pattern and a flattening of the arch. These changes are usually asymptomatic."

Deeper areas can be detected by electromyography (EMG) testing, though they can happen in any skeletal muscle in the body. Fasciculations arise as a result of spontaneous depolarization of a lower motor neuron leading to the synchronous contraction of all the skeletal muscle fibers within a single motor unit. An example of normal spontaneous depolarization is the constant contractions of cardiac muscle, causing the heart to beat. Usually, intentional movement of the involved muscle causes fasciculations to cease immediately, but they may return once the muscle is at rest again. Fasciculations have a variety of causes, the majority of which are benign, but can also be due to disease of the motor neurons. They are encountered by virtually all healthy people, though for most, it is quite infrequent. In some cases, the presence of fasciculations can be annoying and interfere with quality of life. If a neurological examination is otherwise normal and EMG testing does not indicate any additional pathology, a diagnosis of benign fasciculation syndrome is usually made.
