"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search In grammar, an antecedent is an expression (word, phrase, clause, sentence, etc.) that gives its meaning to a proform (pronoun, pro-verb, pro-adverb, etc.). [ 1] A proform takes its meaning from its antecedent, e.g. \"\"Ava arrived late because traffic held her up\"\". The pronoun her refers to and takes its meaning from Ava, so Ava is the antecedent of her. Proforms usually follow their antecedents, but sometimes they precede them, in which case one is, technically, dealing with post cedents instead of antecedents. The prefix ante- means \"\"before\"\" or \"\"in front of\"\", and post- means \"\"after\"\" or \"\"behind\"\". The term antecedent stems from traditional grammar. The linguistic term that is closely related to antecedent and proform is anaphora. Theories of syntax explore the distinction between antecedents and postcedents in terms of binding.

Any of the information provided in the adjective clause does not serve to identify or specify the antecedent : Larry Wilson, who had a bowling average of 215, was awarded the Fred \"\"Twinkletoes\"\" Flintstone Award in 1999. This adjective clause is not needed to identify the antecedent because whe is already identified by name. Without the adjective clause, some details would be lacking, but the essential informantion would remain: Larry Wilson was awarded the Fred \"\"Twinkletoes\"\" Flintstone Award in 1999. Well-identified nouns include not only names of persons but also names of things, job titles, and any other phrases that plainly identify one of a kind: The Crazy Horse Monument, which was dedicated in 1984, attracts visitors from all over the world.

English Grammar Parts of Speech Other Parts of Speech1 Answer2Connie and 1 other Share Jul 13, 2016Answer: In Set Theory and Logic, Conjunction is the use of \"\"AND\"\", and Disjunction is the use of \"\"OR\"\" as Boolean operators. Explanation: If we say, Set A \"\"and\"\" Set B, we mean the part of each set that overlaps - all the elements that are in both sets. Set A \"\"or\"\" Set B refers to any /all elements that are in Set A, or in Set B, or in both. Venn Diagrams show this clearly. Here's the Venn diagram for \"\"OR\"\". It shows that an element could be in set A or in set B or in both of them (the center part). Here's the Venn diagram for \"\"AND\"\". It shows that an element has to belong to both sets, which is the part in the middle. ( Don't pay any attention to the text that appears below the \"\"and\"\" diagram - it's incorrect."

The basic relative pronouns are who, which, and that; who also has the derived forms whom and whose. Various grammatical rules and style guides determine which relative pronouns may be suitable in various situations, especially for formal settings. In some cases the relative pronoun may be omitted and merely implied (\"\"This is the man [that] I saw\"\", or \"\"This is the putter he wins with\"\"). English also uses free relative clauses, which have no antecedent and can be formed with the pronouns such as what (\"\"I like what you've done\"\"), and who and whoever.

Readers become unhappy when they have to guess what noun a writer is talking about, or readers may even chuckle if a pronoun seems to match up with the wrong noun. Later, you’ll see some sentences that are funny all because of little pronouns. Quick Pronoun Review If you're a regular reader, you'll remember that last week we talked about subject and object pronouns. Pronouns take the place of nouns. For example, “I” and “we” are pronouns that appear in the subject position, as in “We wrote a hit song.” Think of pronouns as stuntmen or women filling in for nouns when the going gets tough--or nouns just get tired. The pronouns “me,” “him,” “her,” “you,” “us,” “them,” and “it” must be in the object position, as in “The batter hit the ball to me. ”Other pronouns you might encounter are possessive pronouns such as “mine” and “hers” and indefinite pronouns such as “anyone” and “somebody.” You’ll run into even more kinds of pronouns, but we don’t have time to list them exhaustively here."

A relative pronoun is a type of pronoun used to connect a relative clause (also known as an adjective clause) to the main clause in a sentence. Relative clauses either help clarify who or what a sentence is talking about (known as the antecedent ), or else give extra information about it. Here are the five most commonly used relative pronouns:thatwhichwhowhomwhose Less commonly used relative pronouns include the following:wherewhenwhoeverwhosoeverwhomeverwhicheverwhereverwhateverwhatsoever Functions of the relative pronoun Subjects, objects, and possession In a relative clause, the relative pronoun functions in one of three ways: as the subject, the object, or a possessive pronoun (though whose is the only possessive relative pronoun). The usage of a relative pronoun ultimately depends on its antecedent and the relative clause it introduces. We can use this table as a quick guide to the functions of relative pronouns: Type of Antecedent Subject Object Possessive People Who Who / Whom Whose Things Which Which Whose People or Things That That Now let’s look at how each of these can be used in a sentence.

There are far fewer structure-class words than form-class words; but there are no easy formal tests to identify them, and, since they themselves help determine function, functional tests are of limited value. In general, it is necessary to memorise lists of words that belong to the various parts of speech in the structure-class category. In some cases, structure-class words function in more than one capacity, and, in these cases functional tests can help you determine which part of speech the word is functioning as in the sentence. Determiners A determiner is a structure-class word that precedes and modifies a noun. Prototypical examples are:the definite article: the the indefinite article: a/an Previous students have brought to my attention that many teachers teach that the articles are adjectives. You can see why from the above definition. But they are not the same. For one thing, they are structure class, whereas adjectives are form class. For another, they group with other determiners and share important differences from adjectives:determiners don’t occur with any adjective-forming derivational suffixes, such as – able or – ly.determiners don’t have comparative or superlative forms: tall, taller , tallest; this, * thiser, * thisest.determiners will not fit in both slots of the adjective test frame sentence: The ____ man seems very ____.determiners always precede any adjective or noun modifiers of a noun, as does the in the expensive car stereo."

When a deductive argument’s form or structure violates the rules of good reasoning they are invalid and commit what are termed formal fallacies. Something is amiss with their form or structure.

"text": "Theological Voluntarism First published Tue Jul 2, 2002; substantive revision Sun Aug 12, 2012There is a class of metaethical and normative views that commonly goes by the name ‘divine command theory.’ What all members of this class have in common is that they hold that what God wills is relevant to determining the moral status of some set of entities (acts, states of affairs, character traits, etc., or some combination of these). But the name ‘divine command theory’ is a bit misleading: what these views have in common is their appeal to the divine will; while many of these views hold that the relevant act of divine will is that of commanding, some deny it. So we would do well to have a label for this class of views that does not prejudge the issue of the relevant act of divine will. The label that I will use, following Quinn 1990, is ‘theological voluntarism. ’I have three aims in this article. I want first to distinguish metaethical versions of theological voluntarism from normative versions of that view, putting to the side normative versions. Second, I will say something about the main lines of defense of theological voluntarism, the various theoretical options that confront defenders of theological voluntarism, and some of the reasons for affirming or rejecting these different possible formulations. And finally I will say a bit about the sort of difficulties that seem to confront any such views. ("

What are my alternatives?” These are common questions for women struggling with heavy bleeding or fibroids, or one of the other problems that may lead to hysterectomy. Women may feel that surgery is the only choice but in a lot of cases, there are other options. Many women have great success with alternatives to hysterectomy and even when surgery is required, new techniques are often much less invasive than they used to be. It’s likely that you already know women who’ve had hysterectomies — about a third of American women have one by age 60. For some it is a relatively easy experience, but for others the aftermath of surgical menopause is made worse by severe hormonal symptoms and eventual dependence on hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Since hysterectomy is considered elective surgery for some women, they are sometimes unprepared for the debilitating after-effects. If you are faced with this decision, you will want to weigh the benefits versus the risks of hysterectomy with your practitioner, in light of your own health history."

"text": "\"Embryo transfer procedure for in vitro fertilization - IVFAdvanced Fertility Center of Chicago IVF embryo transfer technique and video The embryo transfer procedure is the last one of the in vitro fertilization process. It is a critically important procedure. No matter how good the IVF laboratory culture environment is, the physician can ruin everything with a carelessly performed embryo transfer. The entire IVF cycle depends on delicate placement of the embryos at the proper location near the middle of the endometrial cavity - with minimal trauma and manipulation. The importance of proper embryo transfer technique for successful IVF cannot be overstated Ultrasound guided embryo transfer is the most efficient technique currently available For IVF, the woman is stimulated with injectable medications to develop multiple eggs. Eggs develop in follicles in the ovaries. When the follicles are mature, the egg retrieval procedure removes eggs from the ovaries. Sperm is added to the eggs and the next day we check the eggs for evidence of fertilization. An appropriate number of embryos are transferred to the uterus several days later - using ultrasound guidance for best placement.

Doctor's Answer Hi, You have asked about mucus in stool. Mucus in stool can appear in increased amount as a result of some infections like amoebiasis, giardiasis, bacterial infections and some non infectious conditions which in short may be clubbed into an illness called irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease or anal fissure. Since you had been having yellow mucus earlier and now it is white film covering,it appears to be white mucus film only."

First-time moms usually begin developing a baby bump between 12 and 16 weeks.

Many patients confuse these terms, believing that follicle equals oocyte. The female gamete is the egg, and the male gamete is the sperm. These are the cells involved in embryos obtained after fertilization. The follicle is a functional anatomical structure which forms part of the ovary and the egg is the cell that will mature in a microscopic part of inner wall of a follicle over spontaneous or stimulated ovarian cycle in normal conditions. Furthermore, the follicle contains other cell types which produce oestrogen required for normal development of the egg maturation. Ovarian cycle: follicular mellowing (follicular phase)."

All vertebrates (including humans) have the same basic body plan – they are strictly bilaterally symmetrical in early embryonic stages and largely bilaterally symmetrical in adulthood. [ 1] That is, they have mirror-image left and right halves if divided down the centre. [ 2] For these reasons, the basic directional terms can be considered to be those used in vertebrates. By extension, the same terms are used for many other ( invertebrate) organisms as well. While these terms are standardized within specific fields of biology, there are unavoidable, sometimes dramatic, differences between some disciplines. For example, differences in terminology remain a problem that, to some extent, still separates the terminology of human anatomy from that used in the study of various other zoological categories.

Anti-fouling paints are often applied as one component of multi-layer coating systems [1] which may have other functions in addition to their toxic antifouling properties, such as acting as a barrier against corrosion on metal hulls that will degrade and weaken the metal, [2] or improving the flow of water past the hull of a fishing vessel [3] or high-performance racing yacht. Contents [ hide ]1 History2 Modern antifouling paints3 Environmental concerns4 See also5 References6 External links History [ edit]In the Age of Sail, sailing vessels suffered severely from the growth of barnacles and weeds on the hull, called \"\"fouling\"\". Thin sheets of copper or Muntz metal were nailed onto the hull in an attempt to prevent marine growth. One famous example of the traditional use of metal sheathing is the clipper Cutty Sark, which is preserved as a museum ship in dry-dock at Greenwich in England. Marine growth affected performance (and profitability) in many ways. The maximum speed of a ship decreases as its hull becomes fouled with marine growth. Fouling hampers a ship's ability to sail upwind. Some marine growth, such as shipworms, would bore into the hull causing severe damage over time. The ship may transport harmful marine organisms to other areas. ["

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

Corrosionpedia explains Anti-Fouling Paint Anti-fouling paint serves two purposes when applied on metal hulls: it prevents corrosion and also prevents the settling and growth of microscopic marine animals and plants on the hull. Corrosion and fouling are interrelated in that poor corrosion resistance leads to the disruption of the paint film, hence the loss of anti-fouling properties. Poor fouling resistance also leads to corrosion due to barnacles cutting their way to the substrate and disrupting the film. Typical anti-fouling paint contains a biocide or a toxin in the paint, which is released into the area surrounding the hull to poison any attached organisms and prevent others from adhering to the paint."

It's mostly a foul-mouthed, politically correct, humanist story that suggests cultural differences rather than religious ones were the root cause of the war which divided that city. Review: Don’t expect much sociopolitical insight from the Lebanese movie WEST BEIRUT about a teenage boy and his family who go through the war between Christians and Muslims in Beirut during the 1970s and 1980s. The movie is mostly an apolitical coming-of-age story of the teenager as he tries to cope with the cultural warfare and social bedlam around him. Rami Doueiri plays Tarek, a nominally Muslim teenager who gets in trouble at the French school he attends. His first encounter with the cultural conflict around him is when a group of Christian militiamen attack a busload of Muslims. As more fighting breaks out, and Beirut is divided into a Western Muslim section and an Eastern Christian section, Tarek and his chum Omar are more interested in peeping at their uncle’s mistress rather than supporting their Muslim brothers. Tarek and Omar undergo a series of adventures as the war drags on. Tarek even befriends a Christian girl named May. May has been orphaned by the war and has come to live in the Muslim section. She seems more religious than both Tarek and Omar."

"text": "\"What is Halitosis (Bad Breath)? Halitosis, commonly known as bad breath, is an embarrassing health condition that affects approximately 30% of people around the world. Additional medical terms for this condition include stomatodysodia, fetor oris, and ozostomia. Regardless of the term used, this is the presence of a foul-smelling odor that seems to come from the mouth cavity. According to the Academy of General Dentistry, in more than 90% of cases, the odor originates in the mouth, throat, and tonsils. Although this is something everyone experiences at one time or another, if your case does not improve after brushing, flossing, and rinsing the mouth with an alcohol free mouthwash, it may be chronic. The foul oral odor is usually caused by a group of anaerobic, sulfur-producing bacteria that breed beneath the surface of the tongue and often in the throat and tonsil area. The term \"\"anaerobic\"\" literally means living without oxygen, and in fact, these bacteria do not require oxygen to live. They occur naturally in the oral environment and are essential because they assist in digestion by breaking down proteins into amino acids. Proteins are commonly found in food, mucus or phlegm, blood, and in diseased oral tissue."

"text": "Bottom Paint for Freshwater Boats March 16, 2012 By Peter d'Anjou 6 Comments Painting the bottom of your boat is a spring ritual many would rather avoid Many people have asked me if it is really necessary to paint the bottom of boats used exclusively in freshwater. The answer is simple; if you leave it in the water for the season, yes, paint it. Your boat may not accumulate barnacles, but boats left in freshwater can grow a healthy beard of plant and algae slime. On the other hand, if you haul it after every use, hose it off and don’t worry about it. If you do leave your boat moored in freshwater all season, the question of what bottom paint to use is a little more complex. There are five basic types of bottom paint: Soft sloughing paints Vinyl Modified epoxies Ablative Thin film Teflon Regardless of type, bottom paints today have two primary ingredients to keep plant and animal life from fouling your boat’s bottom—biocides, such as copper oxide, and what are now termed slimeocides, which act as sunscreen to keep plant and algae growth from forming. While copper oxide is the dominant ingredient in most anti-fouling paints with content as high as 80%, it’s the slimeocide that keeps the fuzz off the boat that then attracts the hard shelled animals. Think of the type of bottom paint as the delivery system for the biocides and slimeocides. In freshwater, you want strong slimeocides and harder surfaces which is why only the last two types of paint, hard ablative or thin film, are typically used. Interlux’s VC17M is a thin film paint popular with freshwater boaters If I had a freshwater-only boat that got left in all seasons my primary recommendation for bottom paint would be Interlux VC17M, the most popular thin-film paint with performance sailors and go fast powerboats–it has a very hard slick surface, great for performance."

Black stool is a condition in which the feces are very dark or black. Black stool may be normal in some cases and caused by ingesting certain substances or medications, such as iron supplements. Several ingested substances can change the color of stool. Iron and bismuth-containing medications, for example, Pepto Bismol, turn the stool black.

It may be due to bile pigment in the stool because diarrhea moves food too quickly thorough the intestine so the intestinal chemicals and bacteria can't break down the bile pigment to its normal brown color, or the green color may be due to certain foods like green, leafy vegetables or green food coloring. Red or black colored stool may be a sign of bleeding in the GI tract (from the esophagus, stomach, small intestine or colon) and should not be ignored. When stool color changes, what tests need to be done depends upon what cause is suspected for the stool color change.

"text": "Car Exhaust Smell: Understanding Where the Problem Lies March 18, 2013Comments Email A car exhaust smell can be due to many different things. The car exhaust port is important as it neutralizes many of the harmful fumes that come out of the engine. If you notice a nasty smell from the exhaust, such as a rotten egg smell, then there is a problem. Besides rotten eggs, a sweet smell or a smell of gas from the exhaust are also typical signs that something is wrong. It is important that you have the car fixed immediately when you start to notice an odd car exhaust smell as they can be linked to some major problems in the exhaust or engine. Rotten Eggs The smell of rotten eggs is due to a compound called hydrogen sulfide. This comes from the small amount of sulfur that is present in the fuel. Normally the sulfur is converted to sulfur dioxide, which has no odor. When the converter breaks or the filtering layers have worn down inside the converter, the sulfur is not transformed into the odorless form. Therefore a strong rotten egg smell is produced."

The most noticeable symptoms are overheating, leaks, a sweet smell of antifreeze and repeatedly needing to add coolant, according to the Car Care Council. \"\" Neglecting your cooling system can result in serious damage and even complete engine failure, which would put a sudden end to your summer road trip,\"\" said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. \"\" If the cooling system doesn't receive regular maintenance, it's not a question of whether it will fail, but rather when it will fail. Performing regular checkups of belts, hoses, the water pump and fluids will ensure your car remains properly cooled and healthy for many miles down the road. \"\" The primary job of the engine's cooling system is to remove the heat that is generated during the combustion process. The coolant temperature can be well over 200 degrees and that heat has to go somewhere, otherwise engine components are going to start failing. The key parts of the cooling system remove the heat from the engine and automatic transmission and dispel it to the air outside. The water pump circulates coolant through the engine. The coolant absorbs heat and returns it to the radiator where heat is dissipated."

"text": "\"Home Buying Guides Car & Truck Parts Air Conditioning & Heat Heater Parts Diagnosing Heater Core Problemse Bay Like March 14, 2016A heater core works as a miniature radiator, allowing antifreeze to flow through the thermostat and control the heating system on a vehicle. If the heater core goes bad, antifreeze stops flowing, and the heater stops working. Checking the heater core itself is a time consuming and tedious job, and replacing it often requires the removal of the entire dash. Before going through the pains of replacing a heater core, the driver first needs to determine if it is bad by checking for common symptoms. Look for Leaking Antifreeze If antifreeze is not properly passing through the vehicle's heating system, it often leaks. Look for signs of leaking antifreeze within the car, usually on the floor well of the front passenger side of the vehicle. Another sign that antifreeze is leaking is a sweet smell inside the vehicle when the heater or defroster is in use. Pay Attention to Vent Abnormalities When running the heater or defroster, puffs of smoke coming from the vent or defroster ducts could indicate a bad heater core.

"text": "Vehicles Car Parts & Maintenance Q: What Is the Difference in Coolant Vs. Antifreeze? A: Quick Answer Antifreeze and coolant are essentially the same thing. The Automobile Association (U. K.) uses the terms interchangeably or together (coolant/antifreeze). Antifreeze is colloquial for the chemical fluid ethylene glycol. Ethylene glycol and distilled water, in equal proportions, are added to radiators to cool automobile engines in summer and prevent freezing in winter.

Although this substance is referred to as a coolant fluid, it is indeed very flammable. This should not be surprising in spite of the fact that the coolant fluid is a water-based product in addition to its ‘cool’ name. This is due to the fact that the fluid has a high content of glycol, which will catch fire when exposed to high temperatures, the water content notwithstanding. Scientific studies have been conducted to determine the flammability of coolant. Forensic scientists took pure coolant fluid and mixed it with equal parts of water to determine how flammable it could still be. Remember that the coolant is usually mixed with fifty per cent of water before being added into vehicles under normal circumstance."

Credit: kokopoko CC-BY 2.0Full Answer Many times, drivers only notice smoke exiting from under the hood while sitting in idle at a stoplight or after turning off the engine while parked. In fact, the amount of smoke can increase over time. If the smoke from under the hood has an oily smell, it is likely that the vehicle has an oil leak, according to Joseph Auto Service. White smoke can indicate a leak within the engine's coolant system, most commonly known as an antifreeze leak."

However, there was one critical item we did not discuss: the different types of antifreeze. Before you grab that jug of green liquid to pour in your system, you better make sure it's the same as what's there already. Some General Facts about Antifreeze Before we get into making sure you have the right antifreeze in your system, let’s take a look at some general information about antifreeze. Automotive antifreeze has traditionally been made with ethylene glycol and Inorganic Acid Technology (IAT) corrosion inhibitors since 1926. American vehicles have traditionally been designed to use antifreeze with silicates and phosphates as corrosion inhibitors. European vehicles have traditionally used antifreeze that does not use phosphates."

So, Distilled water and Antifreeze mix of 50/50 or maybe 60/40. You can look on a gallon of Antifreeze and it should give some good mix options. The Distilled water would be more free of minerals which could cause corrosion, so, it may be the better water to use and the only water for a car Battery. Also, the Antifreeze raises the Boiling Point of you Coolant so should help when running the A/C which puts more load on the Engine. A 50% Glycol mix is Antifreeze and water 50/50.

We try to identify crystals, bacteria, yeast, red cells, white cells (indicating infection), something called a cast (which is a clump of sloughed cells from inside the tiny renal filtration tubules), sperm and even the occasional parasite. This lets us know if we are dealing with infection, diet or metabolism disorders, and what part of the urinary system is in trouble. Also, veterinarians—or in human medicine—the lab, looks for crystals, bacteria, and other organisms in the urinary sediment. Each of these elements give hints as to function of the kidneys, kidney tubules, ureters (small tubes that connect the kidneys with the urinary bladder), and the urinary bladder. The first part of a urinalysis is direct visual observation. Normal, fresh urine is pale to dark yellow or amber in color and clear. Normal urine volume is 750 to 2000 ml/24hr. Turbidity or cloudiness may be caused by excessive cellular material or protein in the urine or may develop from crystallization or precipitation of salts upon standing at room temperature or in the refrigerator which is usually of no significance. Clearing of the specimen after addition of a small amount of acid indicates that precipitation of salts is the probable cause of turbidity."

"text": "How Car Stuff Works How to Check and Change Your Antifreeze/Coolant Do you even know why you put Antifreeze/Coolant into your car's radiator? The engine of a car produces high levels of heat when it is running and the fluids flowing through the radiator system help to draw some of the heat away from the engine so it doesn't over heat and in colder weather it prevents the water in the radiator system from freezing. Antifreeze/Coolant should be used in a 50/50 mix with the water in your radiator to give the optimum boiling or freeze point protection you need for your engine. A good Antifreeze will help to remove the heat from the engine, while preventing rust build up in the radiator system. It protects water in the radiator system against freezing, and increases the boiling point of the water in the radiator system. Antifreeze/Coolant also keeps the levels of evaporation to a minimum since Antifreeze doesn't evaporate like water does. It is very easy to check the levels of Antifreeze/Coolant in your engine, and it is something you should do a couple times a year to make sure there are no leaks in your system. Your Antifreeze/Coolant only needs to be changed every two or three years (you will find that information on the container of Antifreeze/Coolant and you should follow the manufacturers recommendations for that.) If your Antifreeze/Coolant is low consistently after refilling it, it means you may have a leak. The leak could be in the radiator itself, but will most likely be found in one of the hoses or clamps."

Because it can lead to complete loss of vision or even the need for enucleation, early diagnosis and immediate treatment are imperative. Here, I'd like to share some of what I've learned during my experience managing this disease. Ensuring Early Diagnosis Several ocular and systemic diseases predispose patients to retinal hypoxia and ischemia, leading to subsequent release of angiogenic factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). ( For a list of some of the most common predisposing disease conditions, see Table 1, below.) These cause neovascularization of the retina, iris and/or angle, and the subsequent formation of fibrovascular membranes, resulting in neovascular glaucoma. Table 1. Common Predisposing Factors Patients exhibiting these predisposing risk factors should receive a full ocular examination, including undilated gonioscopy and pupil examination.

"text": "Antimetabolites Antimetabolite drugs were among the first effective chemotherapeutic agents discovered and are folic acid, pyrimidine or purine analogues. They are characterized by low molecular weights. They have similar structures as naturally occurring molecules used in nucleic acid (DNA and RNA) synthesis. Antimetabolites are similar to chemicals needed for normal biochemical activity, but differ enough that they interfere with normal cell function. Generally, antimetabolites induce cell death during the S phase of cell growth when incorporated into RNA and DNA or inhibit enzymes needed for nucleic acid production. These agents are used for a variety of cancer therapies, including leukemia, breast, ovarian and gastro-intestinal cancers. Antimetabolites is a broad term, and could potentially refer to any drug that interferes with metabolic pathways, byinhibiting enzymatic reactions. Sounds great, no? The problem for drug designers is that metabolic pathways are hard to figure out, and making compounds to interfere with them without causing other problems is fiendishly difficult. Antimetabolite medicines used to fight cancer, for instance methotrexate, can fool the cell into thinking they are biochemicals normally present and thereby stop those biochemicals from becoming incorporated into the DNA, (Methotrexate is an analog for folic acid,)Pyrimidine Compounds Duschinsky synthesized and Heidelberger, in 1957, introduced 5-flurouracil (5-FU)."

Chemically, it is a pyrimidine analog that functions inside cells as an antimetabolite. It kills cell undergoing DNA synthesis (S-phase) and, under certain conditions, blocking the progression of cells from the G1-phase to S-phase. Intracellularly, it is converted into the 5'-triphosphate (ara-CTP), an active metabolite. Its precise mechanism of action is uncertain, though it does appear to inhibit DNA polymerase and may become incorporated into DNA and RNA. Cytarabine is a prescription drug and can only be obtained from a veterinarian or by prescription from a veterinarian. This drug is not approved for use in animals by the Food and Drug Administration but it is prescribed legally by veterinarians as an extra-label drug. Brand Names and Other Names of Cytarabine This drug is registered for use in humans only. Human formulations: Tarabine® (Adria), Cytarabine® (Faulding), Cytosar-U® (Gensia Sicor), and generic cytarabine. Veterinary formulations: None Uses of Cytarabine for Dogs and Cats Cytarabine may be used for the following conditions: Lymphoreticular neoplasms Myeloproliferative disease ( leukemias)CNS lymphoma Granulomatous meningoencephalitis Precautions and Side Effects Cytarabine can cause severe side effects, including death, in some animals."

"text": "How Chemotherapy Drugs Work More than 100 chemotherapy or chemo drugs are used to treat cancer – either alone or in combination with other drugs or treatments. These drugs are very different in their chemical composition, how they are taken, their usefulness in treating specific forms of cancer, and their side effects. Chemotherapy works with the cell cycle Chemotherapy drugs target cells at different phases of the process of forming new cells, called the cell cycle. Understanding how these drugs work helps doctors predict which drugs are likely to work well together. Doctors can also plan how often doses of each drug should be given based on the timing of the cell phases. Cancer cells tend to form new cells more quickly than normal cells and this makes them a better target for chemotherapy drugs. However, chemo drugs can’t tell the difference between healthy cells and cancer cells. This means normal cells are damaged along with the cancer cells, and this causes side effects. Each time chemo is given, it means trying to find a balance between killing the cancer cells (in order to cure or control the disease) and sparing the normal cells (to lessen side effects). Types of chemo drugs Chemo drugs can be grouped by how they work, their chemical structure, and their relationships to other drugs."

"text": "How does antimony improve lead-based castings? February 17, 2014 by Matt Macur 1 Comment Antimony (Sb) is an element that is blended in with metals such as lead to create different alloys. In lead-based alloys, antimony is added in the range of 1/2 percent to 12 percent and most commonly it is used in a range of 1/2 percent to 6 percent antimony and the balance of the alloy is lead or tin. The use of a little antimony in castings will help material flow so it acts to improve the feed into a part compared to pure lead. In machined or structural products, antimony adds rigidity to the design. Pure lead acts like butter on a warm day and the use of antimony will stiffen the alloy to allow machining to take place and keep the part from moving like that of pure lead. The same holds true for the use of antimony in structural parts, 6 percent of antimony will really strengthen the part and, when some tin is blended as well, this can help based on your design. So what does this do to the density? Pure lead has a density of .41 pounds per cubic inch. Six percent antimonial lead has a density of .393 pounds per cubic inch, which is a loss of .0028 per percentage point of antimony."

Share Email Feedback Sections Overview Presentation DDx Workup Treatment Medication Media Gallery References Approach Considerations When to treat Given the associated morbidity, always treat visceral, mucocutaneous, and severe forms of cutaneous leishmaniasis. Patients should receive treatment at facilities experienced in treating the disease as per latest guidelines. Owing to its potential to progress into mucocutaneous leishmaniasis, definitively treat New World cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by members of the Leishmania Viannia subgenus. Cases due to L tropica (Old World) and some L major from certain regions of Afghanistan may have a more aggressive or chronic course (up to years); L tropica has been implicated in occasional cases of recidivans or viscerotropic leishmaniasis. As such, treatment may need to be more involved in cases caused by this species. In New World leishmaniasis, estimates of recurrence range from less than 5% to as many as 10% of untreated individuals experiencing chronic ulcers, recidivans lesions, or mucocutaneous involvement. Because of this, treatment is very often the standard of care, and parenteral therapy is usually the treatment of choice. New World cutaneous leishmaniasis due to L mexicana is not associated with mucocutaneous leishmaniasis and may not require systemic treatment. Cutaneous leishmaniasis acquired in the Old World tends to resolve spontaneously (eg, L major from Iraq), but patients with this infection should receive treatment if the lesions are disfiguring, painful, infected, over joints, or slow to heal. Individualized management Tailor treatment to the individual, because leishmaniasis is caused by many species or subspecies of the Leishmania protozoa, all of which have different degrees of virulence and clinical predilections."

While his words alone were bold and brash, had Callahan not been carrying a Smith & Wesson Model 29 .44 Magnum, they may not have had such an enduring impact. Much like this Hollywood dramatization, firearms are often the center of real life plotlines. In 2010, firearms were used in 67.5% of murders, 41.4% of robberies, and 20.6% of aggravated assaults in the United States, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Uniform Crime Reporting Program. 1 These statistics highlight the facts that inspire the fiction and justify the need for scientific analysis. It is the job of forensic professionals to search for the evidence in gun crimes, from recognizing the signature elements of gunshot residue (GSR) to determining the distance a suspect stood from his target. Here is a behind the scenes look at the science surrounding GSR investigations and the facts that make them dynamic. The firing of a gun is an intricate series of events.

For more information, you may call the ATSDR Information Center at 1-888-422-8737. This fact sheet is one in a series of summaries about hazardous substances and their health effects. It is important you understand this information because this substance may harm you. The effects of exposure to any hazardous substance depend on the dose, the duration, how you are exposed, personal traits and habits, and whether other chemicals are present.top Summary Exposure to antimony occurs in the workplace or from skin contact with soil at hazardous waste sites. Breathing high levels of antimony for a long time can irritate the eyes and lungs, and can cause problems with the lungs, heart, and stomach. This chemical has been found in at least 403 of 1,416 National Priorities List sites identified by the Environmental Protection Agency.top What is antimony? Antimony is a silvery-white metal that is found in the earth's crust. Antimony ores are mined and then mixed with other metals to form antimony alloys or combined with oxygen to form antimony oxide. Little antimony is currently mined in the United States."

Description Named from the Greek words meaning “not alone”, antimony is a metalloid element that primarily is found as a very brittle bluish-white metallic substance. It is unreactive to air, acids or bases. Most important use for antimony in fire-retardant chemicals that are added to plastics and textiles, especially for children’s clothing. Antimony also is used as an alloy, as it hardens other metals. An alloy with lead greatly improves strength and hardness of lead. It also is used in semiconductors, diodes, infrared detectors, batteries and bullets. Antimony compounds are used in paint pigments, enamels, glass, and pottery. The symbol for antimony, Sb, comes from antimony’s Latin name stibium. Biological Benefits Antimony has no known biological use."

Antimony is a poor conductor of heat and electricity, it is stable in dry air and is not attacked by dilute acids or alkalis. Antimony and some of its alloys expand on cooling. Antimony has been known since ancient times. It is sometimes found free in nature, but is usually obtained from the ores stibnite (Sb 2 S 3) and valentinite (Sb 2 O 3 ). Nicolas Lémery, a French chemist, was the first person to scientifically study antimony and its compounds. He published his findings in 1707. Antimony makes up about 0.00002% of the earth's crust. Applications Very pure antimony is used to make certain types of semiconductor devices, such as diodes and infrared detectors. Antimony is alloyed with lead to increase lead's durability."

Most reloading of handgun, rifle and shotgun ammo is like baking a ready-mix cake-you just dump in the ingredients according to the instructions and the results are pretty much predetermined. Casting bullets, however, gives you control of a whole new dimension of reloading and ammo performance, with virtually limitless variables and possibilities. Hand-cast lead bullets, of course, go back hundreds of years before the appearance of jacketed bullets. ( It was not until well into the 20th century that jacketed bullets equalled the accuracy of fine lead bullets cast by hand.) The great bison slaughter of the 18th century was carried out with cast-lead bullets. Hunters would retrieve bullets from buffalo carcasses, then remelt and recast them over campfires and kill more buffalo with the same lead the next day. Nowadays there are hunters who still prefer cast-alloy bullets for their hunting pistols and rifles, and a number of rifle competitions are limited strictly to cast-lead bullets. With a good rifle and expertly cast bullets, sub-minute-of-angle accuracy is possible at considerable distances."

"text": "About pewter ABOUT OUR PEWTER TANKARDSWhat is pewter? Many of the cups in our collection are made from pewter. Pewter is a metal alloy mostly made from tin, with the remainder usually a mixture of copper, antimony, bismuth, and (sometimes) silver. Historically lead was used but nowadays that’s not considered a good idea (actually lead is illegal in drinkware sold in the USA). Tin is an amazing metal in lots of ways, and is the fourth most expensive precious metal in common use after platinum, gold, and silver. It can be worked in a lot of ways and you can get a variety of really attractive finishes. But the trouble is that it’s quite soft in its pure form and wouldn’t make a great cup. That’s where pewter comes in. Mix small amounts of copper and antimony into the tin and it gets much stronger and more durable, and becomes a very practical material for drinkware. All of our pewter is completely lead-free, and sourced from highly reputable suppliers in western countries."

"text": "Mercurochrome™ is a product which was once widely marketed for use as a topical antiseptic. Thanks to changes in the way the US Food and Drug Administration regards Mercurochrome™, the product is not readily available in the United States today, although it can be found in many other regions of the world. This antiseptic is part of a family of products made with a base of merbromin, a chemical which must be suspended in an alcohol or water solution before it can be used as an antiseptic. This product was marketed for use on minor cuts and scrapes during the 20th century. It typically had a reddish to brown color which would stain the skin when it was applied, and if it was suspended in alcohol, it might sting slightly. Mercurochrome™ was recommended for use on people of all ages, and many people in the middle of the 20th century had a bottle in the bathroom cabinet for household use. There are two issues with Mercurochrome™ and other merbromin products. The first is that they contain mercury, a metal which is known to be poisonous. Although no one has definitively linked Mercurochrome™ to mercury poisoning, presumably because the metal is only present in trace amounts, many people prefer to err on the side of caution when it comes to mercury. The FDA originally grandfathered the drug in, and later decided that it should be banned until additional research could prove that it was safe for use."

In the news lately are more scientific studies confirming the level of resistance of MRSA and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria against the antiseptic skin cleanser called chlorhexidine gluconate, or CHG. Chlorhexidine gluconate washes are commonly prescribed to help prevent MRSA infections and help in skin decolonization for MRSA. CHG is normally well tolerated, but it does have some important precautions you should know about, including some occasion serious side effects. What is Chlorhexidine and what is it used for? Chlorhexidine is an antiseptic which works against a broad range of bacteria. The term antiseptic means that it’s a product meant to inhibit and kill bacteria on mucous membranes, body tissues or skin. This is different than chlorox (bleach), which is a “disinfectant” meant to kill bacteria on hard surfaces, like counter tops or bathtubs. Chlorhexidine skin preparations go by many names, including Hibiclens, Hibiscrub and Savinox. In the U. S., it is now available without a prescription."

"text": "\"Home »Chemistry Does Hydrogen Peroxide Kill Bacteria? By Alex Silbajoris; Updated March 10, 2018Hydrogen peroxide is widely used to treat cuts and scrapes, but some sources warn that it doesn't reliably kill all bacteria and can even harm healing tissue. The hydrogen peroxide molecule has one more oxygen atom than a water molecule, so it acts as an oxidizer. Some bacteria can defend themselves against this, and some can't. The chemical formula is written as H2O2, and the structural formula is H-O-O-H. For home use, it's sold as a 3-percent solution in water. Hydrogen Peroxide as a Wound Cleaner Hydrogen peroxide cleans wounds by moistening and loosening dried blood and any dirt or grit in the wound. It also helps the removal of dead tissue, which is called debridement. It foams on contact, and this effervescence helps to mechanically clean the wound, similar to fizzy denture cleaners. However, it can also destroy the cells called fibroblasts, which rebuild the connective tissue to heal the wound. For this reason, it is not recommended for long-term use."

Disinfectants are chemical substances used to destroy viruses and microbes (germs), such as bacteria and fungi, as opposed to an antiseptic which can prevent the growth and reproduction of various microorganisms, but does not destroy them. The ideal disinfectant would offer complete sterilization, without harming other forms of life, be inexpensive, and non-corrosive. Unfortunately ideal disinfectants do not exist. Many disinfectants are only able to partially sterilize. The most resistant pathogens are bacteria spores but some viruses and bacteria are also highly resistant to many disinfectants. All disinfectants are also, by their very nature, potentially harmful (even toxic) to humans or animals. They should be treated with appropriate care.

Share Pin Email Stock Shop Photography LLC/E+/Getty Imagesby Del Sandeenupdated September 21, 2017While you don't have to wear braids or cornrows to experience scalp itching, many women find that these hairstyles are often one of the causes of an itchy scalp. It can be irritating to feel constant dryness and itchiness, not to mention the unattractive flaking that may result from scratching. Unless you have a medical issue that causes it, an itchy scalp can sometimes be solved rather easily. So, why does your scalp itch and what can you do about this annoying problem? Causes of an Itchy Scalp Your scalp may itch due to several issues: An allergic reaction: This is more likely if you wear braid extensions. It's possible to experience an allergic reaction to the chemicals used to treat the hair. It's a likelier occurrence in synthetic hair than human hair, but regardless of the type of hair you use, it's important to find a high-quality brand with fewer irritating and low-quality chemicals in it. Some women solve this problem by rinsing their extension hair (particularly kanekalon) in a solution of vinegar before they install it. An exposed scalp: When you wear braids, cornrows, flat twists and other styles that leave greater areas of your scalp exposed to the air, it can take some getting used to."

Clove oil is extracted from the evergreen tree of clove, which produces a flower bud that has numerous medicinal properties. It is often referred to as clove bud. It has a shaft and a head and hence, has the Latin name clavus, meaning nail. Clove was extensively used in ancient Indian and Chinese civilizations and it spread to other parts of the world, including Europe, during the seventh and eighth centuries. Even now, clove is used widely in several Indian and Chinese cuisines."

Throughout the whole of my teaching career, I had always assumed that the initials stood for the molecule 2,4,6-trichlorophenol: However, someone e-mailed me to say that they had found a reference on Wikipedia (up to August 2007 - now modified) which implied that the main ingredient in TCP was trichlorophenylmethyliodosalicyl. As a result (and because I wasn't entirely convinced), I removed all references to TCP from Chemguide apart from a temporary note at the bottom of the Main Menu pointing this out. About a month later, I had another e-mail from someone who thought that TCP was indeed 2,4,6-trichlorophenol - and quoted a number of organic textbooks which said so. At that point, it seemed to me that the only sensible thing to do was to contact the manufacturers and ask them. The readily available web sources all said that TCP was manufactured by Pfizer. That turns out not to be true any more. The UK firm Chefaro (a subsidiary of Omega Pharma) acquired the brand in 2004. The reliable information I now have comes from their brand manager."

An antiseptic is used on living tissues and cells to destroy any types of infections which may be living on the tissue. Disinfectants are meant to destroy microorganisms which can infect nonliving objects. Common antiseptics include mouthwash, and yeast infection treatment creams. Disinfectants are commonly found in household cleaning products for kitchens, bathrooms, and other commonly touched items where germs are found.

That’s why your gums and teeth feel like they’ve been covered in slime when you wake up in the morning. Biofilm is normal and happens to everyone—even if you brush, floss and rinse with an antiseptic mouthwash. But when you don’t remove the biofilm on a daily basis, it can build and develop into dental plaque. Dental plaque which could lead to gum disease is made up of some bad bacteria (the kind that thrives on sugar left behind on gums and teeth and turns into tooth-decaying acid) and some good bacteria (the kind that makes normal biofilm less enticing to acid-hungry bacteria). A person with super-solid home dental care, who brushes, flosses, and swishes daily, can control and minimize the size of the biofilm, and potentially make it even healthier by increasing the amount of good bacteria it contains. But when you clean and rinse your gums and teeth less frequently, biofilm (typically pale yellow in color) can harden into tartar and gets thicker which only dentists and their professional tools can remove. Stick to your rinsing routine to keep your biofilm in its healthier condition. Back to top What's The Link Between Gum Disease, Gingivitis and Periodontitis?"

These include enterotoxemia and tetanus, and goats in confinement must be vaccinated against these diseases. You also may choose to vaccinate against rabies. These are the only vaccinations to be concerned with unless your herd has been infected with a specific disease requiring additional vaccinations. Selenium injections (BO-SE is used for goats) are not vaccinations but are often listed with vaccination schedules and will be discussed later. The enterotoxemia and tetanus vaccination (CD&T) can be purchased at some feed and seed stores (check the expiration date) and most goat and livestock catalogues. The rabies vaccination must be administered by your veterinarian. Likewise, BO-SE must be purchased from your veterinarian. Vaccines work by stimulating the immune system to produce antibodies that protect against a specific disease. The vaccine itself does not protect against disease."

Botulism is a serious illness caused by a nerve toxin made by the bacterium, Clostridium botulinum ( C. botulinum ). A toxin is a poison that is released by some bacteria. There are three types of botulism: food, wound and infant botulism. Eating food that has the botulism toxin causes food-borne botulism. It often involves improperly processed home canned foods. Wound botulism occurs when C. botulinum spores contaminate a wound and produce toxin. Botulism in infants under one year of age has been associated with ingestion of C. botulinum spores from the environment or specific foods such as honey. Can botulism be used as a bioterrorism threat? In the event of a bioterrorism event, people intentionally exposed who breathe in the toxin or eat the toxin in contaminated food or water might develop the illness."

"text": "\"Stud ent presentation on Corynebacterium diphtheriae Life History: Corynebacterium diphtheriae is the microbial causative agent of diphtheria; however, it is the exotoxin produced by pathogenic strains of the bacteria that cause the symptoms of the disease. Non-pathogenic strains are normal inhabitants of the oral cavity and lack the bacteriophage DNA to produce exotoxin. Pathogenic C. diphtheriae can localize in different parts of the body, including the nasal cavity, the naso-pharynx, the larynx, and the skin. Depending on the localization, the symptoms range from slight to severe (death). The bacteria are spread by direct person-to-person contact; concurrently, humans are the reservoirs for C. diphtheriae. Since the introduction of a vaccine in the 1920’s, diphtheria has not been prevalent in developed countries. Conversely, it is endemic in developing countries, especially in the former countries of the USSR.http://history.amedd.army.mil/booksdocs/wwii/infectiousdisvolii/chapter10figure55.jpg Characteristics: C. diphtheriae are non-motile, aerobic, gram-positive bacilli (rods). Viewed with a microscope, the bacteria are club-shaped and group in patterns that resemble Chinese characters. Little is known about the details of the adhesion mechanism of C. diphtheriae, but the bacteria are known to produce a neuraminidase. This enzyme is able to split N-acetylneuuraminic acid, which is found on the surface of animal cells."

"text": "Tweet E-mail this Print Tetanus is a bacterial disease that can in fact be life threatening. Less than 100 cases of tetanus are reported in the United States annually due to the preventative measures taken via vaccinations. Treatment for tetanus can be erratic and may or may not lead to a cure. The disease is usually brought on by a laceration infected with the bacteria and can cause muscle spasms, stiffness of the jaw muscles or other muscles, create difficulty breathing, and ultimately may cease the heart. The tetanus infection leads to the production of a toxin in the body. TETANUS SYMPTOMSThe most obvious symptoms associated with tetanus include stiff muscles, stiff jaw, muscle spasms, usually of the jaw or neck, muscle irritability, and a fever. As an increase in toxins build throughout the body, the symptoms may become more pronounced and the muscle spasms may become quite severe. Stiffness of the neck, difficulty swallowing, irritability, and difficulty breathing may become more prevalent as the disease progresses. TETANUS CAUSESThe bacteria which cause tetanus, Clostridium tetani, seep into the skin through a cut or scrape of an infected implement. While it is common knowledge that rusty materials which break the skin may be infected with the bacteria that causes tetanus, many objects that appear clean may still be contaminated."

Thwaites Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.mpmed.2013.10.013 Get rights and content Abstract Botulism and tetanus are diseases caused by neurotoxins produced by Clostridium botulinum and Clostridium tetani respectively. The bacteria and the toxins they produce are closely related. Both diseases are rare in the UK and the developed world but tetanus in particular is a major cause of death in the developing world causing between 200,000 and 300,000 deaths each year. In botulism a descending flaccid paralysis occurs whereas in tetanus generalized muscle spasms develop. Autonomic nervous system dysfunction may occur in either disease and in tetanus cardiovascular parameters may fluctuate widely. Early involvement of respiratory muscles means that rapid recognition and prompt institution of supportive measures are important in improving survival.

To the Editor: Infections are the most frequent and serious wound complications in injection drug users (IDUs). Wound botulism is primarily caused by Clostridium botulinum ( 1) and was first observed in IDUs in New York in 1982 ( 2 ). It results from the introduction of C. botulinum spores into a wound and their multiplication, germination, in situ synthesis, and secretion of toxin under anaerobic conditions. Of 7 designated toxin types, neurotoxins A, B, E, and F result in human disease. During the 1990s, wound botulism cases among IDUs increased in the United States in conjunction with the use of black-tar heroin ( 3 ). Since 2000, wound botulism cases in IDUs have been reported in Europe ( 4 ). To our knowledge, molecular epidemiologic analyses have not been performed to confirm suspected outbreaks. Within a 6-week period in October and November 2005, 12 clinical cases were recognized in the metropolitan area of Cologne, Germany ( 5 )."

"text": "\"Botulism Health Guide Disease Reference Care Notes Medication List More Encyclopedia Q & ABotulism is a form of poisoning caused by exposure to Clostridium botulinum bacteria. These bacteria manufacture a chemical poison known as botulinum toxin that interferes with muscle function in many areas of the body, causing paralysis of individual muscles or groups of muscles. Exposure to this toxin is life threatening, since one of the muscles it can paralyze is the diaphragm, the muscle that controls breathing. You can be exposed to the bacteria causing botulism in several ways, the most familiar being by eating contaminated food. In most food-borne cases of botulism in adults, home-canned foods are responsible. The bacteria that cause botulism exist in dirt and dust as a spore, but this form is inactive and does not produce toxin. When a spore is moved into a low-oxygen environment, however, such as an enclosed jar or can, it can reproduce and make its dangerous toxin. Home-canned vegetables that are not highly acidic (asparagus, green beans, peppers, beets and corn) are good incubators for botulism bacteria unless they are heat-treated appropriately to kill the spores during the canning process and eaten quickly after opening. The bacteria can release large quantities of toxin into the canned food jar, causing botulism symptoms in people who sample the produce. Home-canned, smoked or fermented fish is also a risk."

These may include asthenia, generalized muscle weakness, diplopia, blurred vision, ptosis, dysphagia, dysphonia, dysarthria, urinary incontinence, and breathing difficulties. These symptoms have been reported hours to weeks after injection. Swallowing and breathing difficulties can be life threatening and there have been reports of death. The risk of symptoms is probably greatest in children treated for spasticity but symptoms can also occur in adults treated for spasticity and other conditions, particularly in those patients who have underlying conditions that would predispose them to these symptoms. In unapproved uses, including spasticity in children and adults, and in approved indications, cases of spread of effect have occurred at doses comparable to those used to treat cervical dystonia and at lower doses. DESCRIPTIONMYOBLOC ® (rimabotulinumtoxin B) injection is a sterile liquid formulation of a purified neurotoxin that acts at the neuromuscular junction to produce flaccid paralysis. The neurotoxin is produced by fermentation of the bacterium Clostridium botulinum type B (Bean strain) and exists in noncovalent association with hemagglutinin and nonhemagglutinin proteins as a neurotoxin complex. The neurotoxin complex is recovered from the fermentation process and purified through a series of precipitation and chromatography steps. MYOBLOC (botulinum toxin type b) is provided as a clear and colorless to light-yellow sterile injectable solution in 3.5-m L glass vials."

"text": "+What's new? Botulism Definition Botulism is characterized by a descending flaccid paralysis. Several forms of botulism are recognized depending on aetiology. Epidemiology Food-borne botulism occurs after ingestion of food contaminated with botulinum toxin. This is usually the result of inadequate cooking of food, home canning or fermenting of meat. 1Wound botulism occurs after a wound is contaminated with Clostridium botulinum spores. In anaerobic conditions of the wound, spores germinate and bacteria multiply releasing botulinum toxin. Infantile botulism is a result of colonization of the infant's colon by C. botulinum. An adult form, intestinal toxaemia, has also been recognized but is very rare. Pathology and pathogenesis Seven serotypes of botulinum toxin have been identified."

Causes Symptoms Diagnosis Treatment History Prevention Diphtheria is a contagious disease that usually infects the nose and throat. The hallmark sign is a sheet of grayish material that covers the back of the throat. It is rare in the Western world, but it can be fatal if left untreated. Fast facts on diphtheria: Before the development of treatments and vaccines, diphtheria was widespread and mostly affected children under the age of 15. Some of the symptoms of diphtheria are similar to those of the common cold. Complications include nerve damage, heart failure and, in some cases, death. Diagnosis is confirmed by swab specimens and laboratory testing. Treatment is with antitoxin and antibiotics while the patient is isolated and monitored in intensive care. What is diphtheria?"

"text": "Español Passive Immunization Administering diphtheria antitoxin derived from horse serum, 1895The Historical Medical Library of The College of Physicians of Philadelphia This article assumes familiarity with the terms antibody, antigen, immunity, and pathogen. See the Glossary for definitions. A person may become immune to a specific disease in several ways. For some illnesses, such as measles and chickenpox, having the disease usually leads to lifelong immunity to it. Vaccination is another way to become immune to a disease. Both ways of gaining immunity, either from having an illness or from vaccination, are examples of active immunity. Active immunity results when a person’s immune system works to produce antibodies and activate other immune cells to certain pathogens. If the person encounters that pathogen again, long-lasting immune cells specific to it will already be primed to fight it. A different type of immunity, called passive immunity, results when a person is given someone else’s antibodies. When these antibodies are introduced into the person’s body, the “loaned” antibodies help prevent or fight certain infectious diseases."

"text": "\"Clostridium perfringens infections in baby calves Drovers March 26, 2013 02:13 PMPrint Illnesses and death losses in baby calves are significant problems for producers raising calves in beef or dairy operations. Several of these issues, especially sudden deaths and certain enteric (intestinal) conditions, are potential effects of infections due to Clostridium perfringens. Clostridium perfringens are Gram-positive, spore-forming, anaerobic bacteria that are very commonly found in many environments, including soil, water, poorly preserved feeds, contaminated or improperly thawed colostrum or milk, calf-housing environments, and the normal bovine intestinal tract. In small amounts, these bacteria are generally harmless in the intestine, but under the right conditions they may grow and proliferate, resulting in enterotoxemia, a condition in which specific toxins produced by the bacteria in the small intestine result in both local damage and systemic (whole body) effects. Pathogenesis: How C. perfringens causes disease Because of the widespread nature of the organism, calves are readily exposed to C. perfringens in their environment and commonly ingest the bacteria in various quantities, after which it enters the stomach and intestine. Sometimes bacteria are ingested in sufficient quantities to cause disease, but oftentimes small quantities are ingested, followed by rapid proliferation in the intestine. Enterotoxemia due to C. perfringens is more likely to affect baby calves (within the first two months of age) than mature cattle because the calves lack a fully functioning rumen. C. perfringens feeds on starches and sugars in the small intestine. In mature cattle, these starches and sugars are predominantly digested in the rumen, so they are not available to the C. perfringens microbes for use. However, in baby calves, nearly all feed bypasses the rumen and is digested in the abomasums (true stomach) and the small intestine, so the starches are available for the microbes to feed on."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search United States antitrust law is a collection of federal and state government laws that regulates the conduct and organization of business corporations, generally to promote fair competition for the benefit of consumers. ( The concept is called competition law in other English-speaking countries.) The main statutes are the Sherman Act of 1890, the Clayton Act of 1914 and the Federal Trade Commission Act of 1914. These Acts, first, restrict the formation of cartels and prohibit other collusive practices regarded as being in restraint of trade. Second, they restrict the mergers and acquisitions of organizations that could substantially lessen competition. Third, they prohibit the creation of a monopoly and the abuse of monopoly power. [ 1]The Federal Trade Commission, the U. S. Department of Justice, state governments and private parties who are sufficiently affected may all bring actions in the courts to enforce the antitrust laws. The scope of antitrust laws, and the degree to which they should interfere in an enterprise's freedom to conduct business, or to protect smaller businesses, communities and consumers, are strongly debated. One view, mostly closely associated with the \"\" Chicago School of economics \"\" suggests that antitrust laws should focus solely on the benefits to consumers and overall efficiency, while a broad range of legal and economic theory sees the role of antitrust laws as also controlling economic power in the public interest.

"text": "Home | CEE | 2nd edition | Industrial Concentration“ I ndustrial concentration” refers to a structural characteristic of the business sector. It is the degree to which production in an industry—or in the economy as a whole—is dominated by a few large firms. Once assumed to be a symptom of “market failure,” concentration is, for the most part, seen nowadays as an indicator of superior economic performance. In the early 1970s, Yale Brozen, a key contributor to the new thinking, called the profession’s about-face on this issue “a revolution in economics.” Industrial concentration remains a matter of public policy concern even so. The Measurement of Industrial Concentration Industrial concentration was traditionally summarized by the concentration ratio, which simply adds the market shares of an industry’s four, eight, twenty, or fifty largest companies. In 1982, when new federal merger guidelines were issued, the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) became the standard measure of industrial concentration. Suppose that an industry contains ten firms that individually account for 25, 15, 12, 10, 10, 8, 7, 5, 5, and 3 percent of total sales. The four-firm concentration ratio for this industry—the most widely used number—is 25 + 15 + 12 + 10 = 62, meaning that the top four firms account for 62 percent of the industry’s sales. The HHI, by contrast, is calculated by summing the squared market shares of all of the firms in the industry: 25 2 + 15 2 + 12 2 + 10 2 + 10 2 + 8 2 + 7 2 + 5 2 + 5 2 + 3 2 = 1,366."

"text": "Why Antitrust Laws Matter? ( By William Markham, 2006)The True Purpose of Antitrust Law The antitrust laws are supposed to promote and protect competition, or, if you will, competitive processes in distinct “lines of commerce” or “relevant markets.” This alone is their proper purpose. They are not intended to punish big companies merely on account of their size or because of their commercial success. Most importantly, the antitrust laws have never been anti-market or anti-business in their underlying conception or in their implementation. On the contrary, the antitrust laws are intended to promote market economics and healthy competition in every market, while checking the abuses that sometimes arise in different markets. The idea behind these laws is that in every market there should be robust competition: If in each market there are many sellers busily competing against one another to sell a particular kind of product or service to paying customers, no seller will be able to take unfair advantage of the buyers, but rather each seller will be obliged to offer its goods or service on attractive terms, and each will be responsive and efficient in its dealings with buyers, who otherwise will simply turn to another, better seller. In other words, vigorous competition in any given market keeps the sellers honest, forcing them to strive continually both to improve their goods and services and to offer them on favorable terms. Customers benefit from this competition. Poorly run companies are run out of business, as they deserve to be."

The FTC also deals with complaints of unfair business practices such as scams and deceptive advertising. The Bureau of Consumer Protection conducts investigations into alleged abuses, carries out enforcement actions and provide educational materials to consumers. The Bureau of Consumer Protection is in charge of the U. S. National Do Not Call Registry. The Bureau of Economics provides research support to the other two departments of the FTC, including analysis of FTC actions' potential effects. Generally speaking, the FTC does not have the ability to directly enforce its rulings, but it can go to the courts to have them enforced.

In legal terms, a tying sale makes the sale of one good (the tying good) to the de facto customer (or de jure customer) conditional on the purchase of a second distinctive good (the tied good ). Tying is often illegal when the products are not naturally related. It is related to but distinct from freebie marketing, a common (and legal) method of giving away (or selling at a substantial discount) one item to ensure a continual flow of sales of another related item. Some kinds of tying, especially by contract, have historically been regarded as anti-competitive practices. The basic idea is that consumers are harmed by being forced to buy an undesired good (the tied good) in order to purchase a good they actually want (the tying good), and so would prefer that the goods be sold separately. The company doing this bundling may have a significantly large market share so that it may impose the tie on consumers, despite the forces of market competition. The tie may also harm other companies in the market for the tied good, or who sell only single components."

"text": "\"SHERMAN ANTI-TRUST ACTThe Sherman Anti-Trust Act of 1890 (15 U. S. C. A. §§ 1 et seq. ), the first and most significant of the U. S. antitrust laws, was signed into law by President benjamin harrison and is named after its primary supporter, Ohio Senator john sherman. The prevailing economic theory supporting antitrust laws in the United States is that the public is best served by free competition in trade and industry. When businesses fairly compete for the consumer's dollar, the quality of products and services increases while the prices decrease. However, many businesses would rather dictate the price, quantity, and quality of the goods that they produce, without having to compete for consumers. Some businesses have tried to eliminate competition through illegal means, such as fixing prices and assigning exclusive territories to different competitors within an industry. Antitrust laws seek to eliminate such illegal behavior and promote free and fair marketplace competition. Until the late 1800s the federal government encouraged the growth of big business. By the end of the century, however, the emergence of powerful trusts began to threaten the U. S. business climate. Trusts were corporate holding companies that, by 1888, had consolidated a very large share of U. S. manufacturing and mining industries into nationwide monopolies."

"text": "\"Antitrust Law and Legal Definition Trusts and monopolies are concentrations of wealth in the hands of a few. Trusts and monopolies are considered harmful restraints of trade which alter normal marketplace competition, and yield undesirable price controls. To prevent trusts from creating restraints on trade or commerce and reducing competition, Congress passed the Sherman Antitrust Act in 1890. The Sherman Act is the main source of antitrust law. The Sherman Antitrust Act declared illegal \"\"every contract, combination…or conspiracy in restraint of trade or commerce\"\" between states or foreign countries. The Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914, amended by the Robinson-Patman Act of 1936, prohibits discrimination among customers through pricing and disallows mergers, acquisitions or takeovers of one firm by another if the effect will \"\"substantially lessen competition.\"\" These laws are applicable to acts which affect interstate commerce, which has a very broad interpretation. The Antitrust Division of the U. S. Department of Justice is responsible for enforcing antitrust laws for the federal government, but private lawsuits may also be brought to curb antitrust activities. Most if not all states have comparable statutes prohibiting monopolistic conduct, price fixing agreements, and other acts in restraint of trade having strictly local impact.

For example, competing individuals or businesses may not fix prices, divide markets or rig bids. In 1914, Congress passed the Federal Trade Commission Act, banning unfair competition methods and deceptive acts or practices.

Like other equitable remedies, it has traditionally been given when a wrong cannot be effectively remedied by an award of money damages. ( The doctrine that reflects this is the requirement that an injunction can be given only when there is \"\"no adequate remedy at law.\"\") Injunctions are intended to make whole again someone whose rights have been violated. Nevertheless, when deciding whether to grant an injunction, courts also take into account the interests of non-parties (that is, the public interest)."

"text": "Section 01: Monopolies Monopoly Monopolies are on the other end of the continuum from pure competition. A monopoly consists of one firm that produces a unique product or service with no close substitutes. Entry into the market is blocked, which gives the firm market power (i.e., the power to raise price above marginal cost). Historically, pure monopolies are rare and often short lived because the reason for their existence (usually blocked entry) is somehow weakened. For example, patents expire, new resources are often discovered, and new technologies allow new competitors into the market. We will expand on these sources of monopoly power later. It will also become clear that firms have an incentive to try to gain a monopoly. Studying the attributes and behavior of a monopoly is a useful reference point particularly when looking at the other market structures. As an interesting side note, when there is only one seller in a market, it is called a monopoly, but when there is only one buyer in the market, it is called a monopsony. We will save our discussion on monopsonies until near the end of the course."

"text": "\"The antitrust laws are supposed to promote and protect competition. This alone is their proper purpose. They are not intended to punish big companies merely on account of their size, nor to serve as surrogate “consumer protection” laws. Most importantly, they have never been anti-market or anti-business in their underlying conception or in their implementation. On the contrary, the antitrust laws are intended to promote market economics and healthy competition in every market, while checking the abuses that sometimes arise in different markets. The idea behind these laws is that in every market there should be robust competition: If in each market there are many sellers busily competing against one another to sell a particular kind of product or service to paying customers, no one seller will be able to take unfair advantage of the buyers, but rather each seller will be obliged to offer its good or service on attractive terms, and each seller will be responsive and efficient in its dealings with buyers, who otherwise will simply turn to another, better seller. In other words, vigorous competition in any given market keeps the sellers honest, forcing them to strive continually both to improve their goods and services and to offer them on favorable terms. Customers benefit from this competition. Poorly run companies are run out of business, as they deserve to be. The better run companies, and the most honest ones too, tend to prosper."

"text": "Patent Misuse, Exploring the Basics By Gene Quinn November 18, 20112Print Article Recently Costco Wholesale prevailed, once again, in its ongoing copyright litigation with Omega. After the United States Supreme Court deadlocked on whether the first sale doctrine authorized the reselling of lawfully purchased products abroad by Costco the case returned to the Eastern District of California for further proceedings. On November 9, 2011, Costco again prevailed, again on summary judgment, but this time thanks to the copyright misuse defense. With copyright misuse being successfully used as a defense I thought it would be worthwhile to explore misuse defenses in general, which I believe are an under utilized defense and one of the places courts should be looking to stomp out the abuses that we all know are prevalent in the intellectual property litigation arena. it is worth taking a moment to revisit the basics of patent misuse. With misuse defenses historically being closely associated with Antitrust theory yesterday we published Antitrust Law Basics, promising to follow up and with discussion of patent misuse. The term “patent misuse” refers to specific types of prohibited behavior engaged in by the owner of the patent rights. Patent misuse is an affirmative defense that recognizes that it is possible for a patent owner to abuse the exclusive right enjoyed as a result of the issuance of a patent. As an affirmative defense, patent misuse cannot be used as a sword, but can only be used by an alleged infringer if and when the patent owner seeks to enforce the exclusive right of the patent in a patent infringement suit. Once a patent infringement suit is initiated, the alleged infringer, in order to successfully rely upon the patent misuse defense, must “show that the patentee has impermissibly broadened the ‘physical or temporal scope’ of the patent grant with anticompetitive effect.”"

"text": "\"Antitrust Enforcement Introduction The Antitrust Laws Examples of Antitrust Violations Antitrust Enforcement Agencies Private Litigation The Public's Role in Antitrust Enforcement Introduction The Attorney General of the State of New York, through his Antitrust Bureau, enforces both State and federal antitrust laws. Antitrust laws have been called the \"\"Bill of Rights\"\" and \"\"Magna Carta\"\" of the American system of free enterprise. The vigorous enforcement of antitrust laws assures businesses the ability to compete in an open marketplace and provides consumers with goods and services of higher quality at lower prices. The antitrust laws seek to ensure that industry is competitive, with a number of manufacturers or distributors of a product or service, all striving to attract customers. The nature of our free market economy requires competing businesses to lower their prices and improve quality to attract customers. In order to earn a profit, businesses must seek to hold down their costs. Competition stimulates firms to run their businesses more efficiently and enables U. S. firms to compete in a global economy. Experience demonstrates that when competition is restricted, prices are likely to increase and quality is likely to suffer. If a business does not have competition, it has little incentive to improve its quality, lower its prices, or become more efficient. If there is only one seller in the market it may charge higher prices without fearing competition."

"text": "Violations of Antitrust Laws Antitrust laws are meant to protect competition in the marketplace. Competition is considered beneficial because it saves consumers money and encourages businesses to make better products. In a competitive market, companies must charge lower prices or offer higher quality products in order to be successful in gaining consumers’ business. Antitrust laws are meant to preserve competition in order to promote these consumer benefits. Violations are considered a type of white collar crime because they hurt competition, cause an increase in consumer prices, and can potentially damage the economy. There are three main antitrust laws: the Sherman Antitrust Act, the Clayton Act, and the Federal Trade Commission Act. The Sherman Antitrust Act The Sherman Antitrust Act was passed in 1890 and has since stood as the key law regarding competition in the free market. It outlaws “every contract, combination in the form of trust or otherwise, or conspiracy, in restraint of trade or commerce among the several States, or with foreign nations.” This means that it is illegal for any one firm to create a monopoly in an industry by engaging in practices that hurt competition. The Clayton Act First passed in 1914, the Clayton Act was revised in 1950."

Whether you’re shopping for food at the grocery store, buying a car, or downloading new software from the Internet, antitrust laws play an important role in ensuring that you have the benefit of competitive prices and high quality goods and services. The antitrust laws accomplish these goals by promoting and fostering competition in the marketplace and preventing anticompetitive mergers and business practices. In many respects, antitrust is a complex and intricate area of law that most consumers may only know about through what they have read in the newspapers or seen on the news. Even then, antitrust laws can appear somewhat distant and esoteric. This short guide discusses antitrust laws and provides answers to some of the basic questions consumers often send to us. While this summary is not meant to be a comprehensive statement of the law, we hope that it will assist you in learning more about antitrust laws to better understand how both federal and state antitrust enforcers work to ensure a free and competitive marketplace.

Related to antitrust law: contract law, Competition law Antitrust Law Legislation enacted by the federal and various state governments to regulate trade and commerce by preventing unlawful restraints, price-fixing, and monopolies; to promote competition; and to encourage the production of quality goods and services at the lowest prices, with the primary goal of safeguarding public welfare by ensuring that consumer demands will be met by the manufactureand sale of goods at reasonable prices. Antitrust law seeks to make enterprises compete fairly. It has had a serious effect on businesspractices and the organization of U. S. industry. Premised on the belief that free trade benefits theeconomy, businesses, and consumers alike, the law forbids several types of restraint of trade andmonopolization. These fall into four main areas: agreements between or among competitors,contractual arrangements between sellers and buyers, the pursuit or maintenance of Monopolypower, and mergers. The Sherman Anti-Trust Act of 1890 (15U. S. C. A. § 1 et seq.) is the basis for U. S. antitrust law, and many states have modeled their own statutes upon it.

It prohibits certain business activities that reduce competition in the marketplace, and requires the United States federal government to investigate and pursue trusts, companies, and organizations suspected of being in violation. It was the first Federal statute to limit cartels and monopolies, and today still forms the basis for most antitrust litigation by the United States federal government.

[ 2] After being ratified in the Senate on April 8, 1890 by a vote of 51-1, the Sherman Act passed unanimously (242-0) in the House of Representatives on June 20, 1890, and was then signed into law by President Benjamin Harrison on July 2, 1890.

If you’ve ever had the flu, you remember the fever, aches, cough, and days spent under the covers instead of at work, school, or out with friends. But there is a way to at least make it less bearable if you can't escape the flu again. Sometimes even when you get a flu shot, practice good hand hygiene, and stay away from others who are sick, you still get the flu. Though there's no flu treatment that will totally cure the illness, there are flu medications called antivirals that can make your flu experience less unpleasant if you take them in time. A November 2013 study in the journal Pediatrics found that kids especially can benefit from prompt treatment with antiviral medications, especially those who are very sick. According to the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 20,000 kids under the age of 5 are hospitalized each year because of the flu, and both healthy kids and those with weaker immune systems can be hit hard by the flu.

"text": "\"22 terms amozahem1Pharmacology antiviral drugs chapter 40Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Sort Mechanism of action Most of the current antiviral drugs work by blocking the activity of a polymerase enzyme that normally stimulates the synthesis of new viral genomes. The result is impaired viral replication, which results in viral concentrations low enough to allow elimination of the virus by the patient's immune system. If this does not occur, the virus may either enter a dormant state or remain at a low level of replication with continuous drug therapy. Instruct the patient to take oral antivirals with meals to help minimize GI upset. Indications Drugs to Treat Herpesviruses Herpes simplex types 1 and 2, herpes zoster, chickenpox acyclovir, valacyclovir Herpes simplex keratitis trifluridine Drugs to Treat Influenza Viruses Influenza A rimantadine, amantadine Influenza A and B zanamivir, oseltamivir Miscellaneous Antivirals Respiratory syncytial virus infection ribavirin Cytomegalovirus infection cidofovir Cytomegalovirus infection, acyclovir herpes simplex infections foscarnet Contraindications Most of the antiviral drugs used to treat non-HIV viral infections are surprisingly well tolerated. The only usual contraindication for most of these drugs is known severe drug allergy. However, a small number of contraindications are listed for a few of the antiviral drugs. Adverse Effects The adverse effects of the antiviral drugs are as different as the drugs themselves. Each has its own specific adverse effect profile. Because viruses reproduce in human cells, selective killing is difficult, and consequently many healthy human cells, in addition to virally infected cells, may be killed in the process, which results in more serious toxicities for these drugs."

These recommendations are intended to help clinicians prioritize use of antiviral drugs for treatment and prevention of influenza. As in earlier antiviral recommendations posted on May 6, 2009 and updated on September 8, 2009, the priority for use of antiviral medications this season continues to be in people with more severe illness, such as people hospitalized with influenza, and people at increased risk of influenza-related complications.

"text": "\"Sherry Dubois, Supporter of Herpes Single.net Answered Jan 25, 2018That tingling feeling in your lip only means one thing if you’re a cold sore veteran—a new bunch of blisters is set to erupt. Cold sores are commonly caused by herpes simplex virus type 1, a strain that’s closely related to the type 2 bug responsible for those below-the-belt blisters spread by sexual contact. While cold sores on the lips are mostly spread through casual skin-to-skin contact, oral sex can also spread genital herpes to the mouth area. Once you pick up the cold sore virus, it lies in wait in your nerve cells until a trigger—say, stress, an illness, dry skin, or even a smack in the gob—prompts it to rear up again. So the best way to avoid an outbreak, then, is to reduce your exposure to certain triggers. These sores are contagious, uncomfortable, and can be unsightly. The good thing, though, is that they’ll usually clear up on their own within about two weeks. The not-so-swell part? You’ll be sporting some red, oozing, and then crusting blisters right smack on your kisser until then. But don’t worry—we've got you covered."

Internal shingles can take decades to present itself, while many people never show symptoms at all. If you’re asking yourself, “how long does shingles last,” it can be different for each person, but below is a general progression. Itching, Pain, or Tingling Before any irritation appears, the site may first itch or tingle, or even feel painful. These sensations start to happen between one and five days before redness or itching begins. Many people may not recognize these symptoms, particularly if they have a mild case of shingles."

"text": "Health Conditions & Diseases Q: How Do You Treat Shingles? A: Quick Answer According to Web MD, treatment for shingles commonly involves the use of antiviral medications, such as valacyclovir, famciclovir and acyclovir, to reduce the duration of the outbreak; over-the-counter medications, such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen or aspirin, to reduce pain; and topical antibiotics to prevent blisters from becoming infected. Beginning medication within three days of developing shingles can reduce the likelihood of postherpetic neuralgia, a persistent, shingles-related pain that can last for years. Continue Reading Keep Learning How Can Shingles Pain Be Treated? What Medications Are Used for Oral Shingles Treatment? What Are Some Treatment Options for Eye Blisters? Credit: Run Photo Taxi Japan Getty Images Full Answer Initial treatment for shingles is most often antiviral or antibiotic medicines. If antivirals are started within 3 days of observing a rash, chances of having complications later are decreased. In severe cases of shingles, doctors may prescribe corticosteroids, but this is rare, states Web MD. If pain lasts for more than a month after the shingles rash heals, a diagnosis of postherpetic neuralgia is likely."

Because most cases of bronchitis are caused by viruses, antibiotics are usually not an effective treatment. However, a doctor may recommend antibiotics if he or she thinks you have a bacterial infection. Antiviral medications are important if bronchitis is caused by an influenza virus. Bronchodilator medications may help those with asthma, COPD, or emphysema, who develop worsening wheezing when they have bronchitis. Coughing helps clear mucus from the air passageways. Cough medications are helpful only when the cough interrupts sleep. Treatment for acute bronchitis may include: Rest Stop smoking. Avoid exposure to secondary smoke.

This includes species which are semi-domesticated, undomesticated but captive-bred on a commercial scale, or commonly wild-caught, at least occasionally captive-bred, and tameable. In order to be considered fully domesticated, most species have undergone significant genetic, behavioural and/or morphological changes from their wild ancestors; while others have been changed very little from their wild ancestors despite hundreds or thousands of years of potential selective breeding. A number of factors determine how quickly any changes may occur in a species, however, there isn't always a desire to improve a species from its wild form. Domestication is a gradual process, i.e., there is no precise moment in the history of a given species when it can be considered to have become fully domesticated. Archaeozoology has identified three classes of animal domesticates: (1) commensals, adapted to a human niche (e.g., dogs, cats, guinea pigs); (2) prey animals sought for food (e.g., cows, sheep, pig, goats); and (3) targeted animals for draft and nonfood resources (e.g., horse, camel, donkey).

Of the three major classifications of amphibians, frogs make up the vast majority, about 90 percent of all amphibian species (the other types of amphibians are salamanders and caecilians). Toads are a sub-classification of frogs, meaning that all toads are frogs, but not all frogs are toads (clear so far?).

It can reach up to 11 cm (4.5 in) in length, making it one of Australia's largest frogs. Coloured gold and green, the frogs are voracious eaters of insects, but will also eat larger prey, such as worms and mice. Unlike most frogs, they are active at day, although this is mostly to warm in the sun. They tend to be less active in winter except in warmer or wetter periods, and breed in the warmer months. Males reach maturity after around 9 months, while for the larger females, this does not occur until they are two years old."

A good example is the snake. Snakes gained an evil reputation in their depiction in the Garden of Eden, yet they have also become a symbol of health, hygiene, and medicine, as depicted by the snake entwined around the Greek god of healing, Aesculapius. In natural science, amphibians and reptiles are bundled together as the study of Herpetology, which is a branch of Zoology. Collectively they are known as herps, herptiles, or herpetofauna. The term “herpetology” is derived from the Greek word “herpton”, meaning a creeping thing. Herptiles are vertebrates and include both reptiles and amphibians. The animal world is inhabited with approximately 58,000 species of vertebrates, which seems like a lot, yet is only about 3% of all animal species. Invertebrates make up the bulk of the animals at 97% of the species. The arthropods are land invertebrates and include the arachnids (scorpions, whip scorpions, and tarantulas), centipedes, millipedes, and many others."

Parental care evolved to reduce the energy expenditure on reproduction, as in the absence of it animals must produce millions of eggs so that few could survive to replace the parents to ensure existence of the species. Lower animals produce excessively large number of eggs and do not exhibit parental care but higher animals such as vertebrates, show varied degree of parental care in order to reduce the energy expenditure in reproduction. Terrestrial environment being much harsher than the aquatic one, amphibians were the first vertebrates to have evolved different kinds of parental care to protect their young ones as given in the following description. APODA (=GYMNOPHIONA)Caecilians or apoda are long, worm-like legless amphibians having about 165 species in 33 genera. Little is known about these animals, most of which are tropical or subtropical, and occur in Central and South America, Africa, and south and Southeast Asia. Caecilians exhibit parental care. The female coils around the egg clutch and periodically rotates it, till the eggs hatch. The mother caecilian does not take any food during the parental care period. The Beddome’s Caecilian, Ichthyophis beddomei, found in Kerala (India) is known to have 25 to 38 eggs in an egg clutch."

It has a stout body and short legs, with the digits of the forelimbs lacking webbing and those of the hind limbs being webbed. The skin is rough and warty. Skin ranges in color from gray to tan to red-brown, dark brown, olive to dull green, to black above, and cream-colored and often flecked with brown or black on the belly. The tympani (ear membranes) are one-half to two-thirds the diameter of the eyes (Ashton and Ashton 1988)The most distinguishing feature (other than size) is the presence of two large parotid glands, located at the shoulder behind each eye. These are venom glands capable of producing toxic milky secretions when squeezed. Smaller venom glands ('warts') are distributed all over the surface of the skin (Conant and Collins 1991, Gautherot 2000). Tadpoles are jet black dorsally and silvery white with black spots ventrally (Ashton and Ashton 1988). The vocalization of B. marinus is a slow, low-pitched trill and larger males usually have deeper calls (Somma 2004). Potentially Misidentified Species The size of the marine toad and the presence of the large parotid glands and webbed hind digits make this species easy to distinguish from other Florida frogs and toads."

Diet Tomato frogs feed on arthropods and other small animals it can catch. They are ambush feeders, preferring to sit in one place and wait for prey to come by and seldom go after prey if they miss the first opportunity. Reproduction Males begin calling after rains in an attempt to summon females. Breeding takes place in stagnant or very slow-moving water, after which 1,000-1,500 small black/white eggs are deposited on the water surface."

"text": "What is the importance of taxonomy| Its role in Biology & Biodiversity Every student of biology comes across taxonomy during his course of study as one of the important topics. The earth’s biodiversity is huge, there are hundreds of types of animals and plant. So it is difficult to study them all in simple manner. So taxonomy was made to group animals and plants based on set of characters. Most of the students dislike taxonomy and feel bored not knowing why they have to study. The terms are difficult and hence mug up to pass their exams. But yet taxonomy is mentioned in almost every chapter during classification of any plant or animal. Taxonomy definition: “ Taxonomy is a branch of science which tries to scientifically classify all the existing living organisms based on certain set of characters for easy of identification and study. “ AKARAKINGDOMSTaxonomy was described by Linnaeus and hence he is called as Father of taxonomy. You notice many plant specie’ s scientific names ending with Linn."

[ 1] It is the most visited and one of the largest (but not the highest) tepuis in the Guiana Highlands, with a summit area of 666.9 km 2 (257.5 sq mi) and an estimated slope area of 715 km 2 (276 sq mi). [ 1] The uneven, heart-shaped summit plateau of Auyán-tepui is heavily inclined, rising from around 1,600 metres (5,200 ft) in the northwest to a maximum of 2,450 m (8,040 ft) in the southeast. [ 1] It is incised from the north by a vast valley, the Cañón del Diablo (Devil's Canyon), formed by the Churún River. The larger western portion of the plateau is partially forested, whereas the eastern part comprises mostly bare rock with only patchy vegetation cover. [ 1] The mountain hosts a number of extensive cave systems. [ 3] [4]Auyán-tepui gives its name to the Auyán Massif, which also includes the tiny peaks of Cerro El Sol and Cerro La Luna to the north, and the satellite mountain of Uaipán-tepui to the south. The massif has a total summit area of roughly 670 km 2 (260 sq mi) and an estimated slope area of 795 km 2 (307 sq mi). [ 1] It is situated entirely within the bounds of Canaima National Park. [ 5] Auyán-tepui means \"\"Devil's House\"\" in the local Pemón language. ["

Related to Chordata: Mammalia, Urochordata, Vertebrata Chordata (kôrdā`tə, –dä`–), phylum of animals having a notochord, or dorsal stiffening rod, as the chief internal skeletal support at some stage of their development. Most chordates arevertebrates (animals with backbones), but the phylum also includes some small marine invertebrateanimals. The three features unique to chordates and found in all of them at least during earlydevelopment are: the notochord, composed of gelatinous tissue and bound by a tough membrane; a tubular nerve cord (or spinal cord), located above the notochord; and gill slits leading into thepharynx, or anterior part of the digestive tract (the throat, in higher vertebrates). In addition, all haveblood contained in vessels, and the tunicates and vertebrates have a ventrally located heart. All have a postanal tail, that is, an extension beyond the anus of the notochord or backbone and of the body-wall musculature, containing no internal organs. In vertebrates—animals of the subphylum Vertebrata—a backbone of bone or cartilage segments called vertebrae develops around thenotochord; its upward projections partially surround the nerve cord. In many fishes and in early fossilamphibians and reptiles the notochord persists in the adult and is enclosed by the vertebrae; in higher vertebrates, however, it disappears during embryonic development. There are two invertebratesubphyla: the Urochordata, or tunicatestunicate, marine animal of the phylum Chordata, which also includes the vertebrates. The adult form of most tunicates (also called urochordates) shows no resemblance to vertebrate animals, but such a resemblance is evident in the larva...... Click the link for more information.,"

"text": "\"About Reptiles, Amphibians and Arthropods Reptiles, amphibians and land invertebrates are extremely ancient creatures, and have been a part of many culture's folklore for many generations. A good example is the snake. Snakes gained an evil reputation in their depiction in the Garden of Eden, yet they have also become a symbol of health, hygiene, and medicine, as depicted by the snake entwined around the Greek god of healing, Aesculapius. In natural science, amphibians and reptiles are bundled together as the study of Herpetology, which is a branch of Zoology. Collectively they are known as herps, herptiles, or herpetofauna. The term “herpetology” is derived from the Greek word “herpton”, meaning a creeping thing. Herptiles are vertebrates and include both reptiles and amphibians. The animal world is inhabited with approximately 58,000 species of vertebrates, which seems like a lot, yet is only about 3% of all animal species. Invertebrates make up the bulk of the animals at 97% of the species. The arthropods are land invertebrates and include the arachnids (scorpions, whip scorpions, and tarantulas), centipedes, millipedes, and many others."

There are approximately 4,800 recorded species, accounting for over 85% of extant amphibian species. They are also one of the five most diverse vertebrate orders.

So why do I need an AOV system? AOV control systems are used mainly to control the ventilation of smoke in a fire. Changes to building regulations were made due to the results of investigations into smoke inhalation. When a detector or call point is triggered an AOV control system will open actuators, windows or vents to create ventilation. This clears smoke for people leaving the building and vents smoke out of the area that has been triggered. The provisonal standard that is now available for reference is EN:12101.

"text": "Prev post Next post Use arrow keys to navigate Employers appreciate employees who work hard and put in long hours. However, a good employee should be sure to take regular breaks to maintain health and productivity. A break could be defined as a half-hour to an hour with a full meal or a 10 to 15 minute break in which the person just walks around and stretches his or her muscles. The type of break and the activities involved during such a break depend on the type of job the person has. The following information is based on an eight-hour work shift in a sitting position at a computer terminal. The Importance of Taking Breaks at Work Image Credit: Depositphotos.com Taking breaks during work is very important to the employee’s physical and mental health. Keeping the mind focused on the same activity for lengthy periods will eventually tire it out. When the brain becomes tired, it begins to work less, which can lead to mistakes and low work quality. A tired brain can also give signals to the body to go to sleep, which is why many people fall asleep at their terminals. Additionally, people who spend long intervals in front of a computer can develop vision problems."

Full Color, Chinchilla, Sable, Himalayan or Pointed White, and REWAlthough there are five main color genes than determine the color of a rabbit’s fur, the c-series of genes is called the “color gene.” The color gene, which controls where and how much color will be expressed rather than which color will be expressed, is definitely one of the most difficult to understand. The first complication is that there are more variations of this gene than of most color genes. Another complication is that some genes are incompletely dominant over others. But in spite of its complications, genes at the C-locus is one of the most fascinating to work with. This opal Rex has the full color, \"\"C\"\" gene. Let’s start by thinking about which types of colors are produced when the different color genes are expressed. The dominant color gene is the “Full Color” gene represented by the capital “C.” Some full color rabbits are black, orange, chestnut, black tortoiseshell, lilac, and blue. The next gene, in order of dominance, is the chinchilla gene, which is represented by the letters chd (or sometimes Cchd or c chd )."

"text": "\"Blog Share20 February, 2013100+ frequently used digital marketing acronyms By Chris Lake Counting shares 37 comments When I first started working in the internet industry, back in 1874, a colleague said to me that I shouldn’t be daunted by the ridiculous number of acronyms that are seemingly used on a daily basis. I’d learn them in good time, he said. There was no need for panic stations. Sure enough, I was bombarded with seemingly random three- and four-letter acronyms, from all directions. I hunkered down and gradually learned the most important ones. I’m somewhat allergic to jargon, but sometimes there is no getting around the fact that we need to speak the right language in digital marketing circles. There is only one way to describe ‘real-time bidding’ (RTB), and no amount of Plain English is going to improve that kind of phrase. We used to have a glossary on a much older version of Econsultancy.com, but that’s long since vanished, so I thought I’d compile a handy cut-out-and-keep guide to help newbies to get up to speed with the lingo. So here is a list of the most common acronyms that every digital marketer should know about. I think they cover most bases, though no doubt I have missed out a few obvious ones (by all means add them in the comments area below)."

MCCARTHY, PHD GENETICS, ΦΒΚ<Contents Works Cited>Bonobo ( Pan paniscus) Common Chimpanzee ( Pan troglodytes )H ybridization between chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes) and bonobos, also known as pygmy chimpanzees, ( Pan paniscus) has occurred in captivity ( Vervaecke and van Elsacker 1992, Vervaecke 2002; Vervaecke et al. 2004). In 1979, a circus director in France bought what he believed to be a male chimpanzee. It performed in acts and regularly mated with two female chimpanzees. This male ape, however, turned out to be a bonobo. Between 1991 and 2000, seven bonobo-chimpanzee hybrids were produced from these matings, most or all of which survived. By 2000, the oldest was working in the circus act in place of his retired father. Apparently, natural bonobo-chimpanzee hybrids have not as yet been reported. The ranges of these two apes are separated by the Congo and the Lualaba rivers, so their ranges are essentially allopatric. But contact may occur upstream of Boyoma Falls (formerly known as Stanley Falls) where the river can easily be crossed, at least by humans, during times of low water."

"text": "\"Falsehood: Humans evolved from apes June 25, 2010 Uncategorized Apes, Falsehoods II, Human Evolution, primates Greg Laden Is it a Falsehood that Humans Evolve from Apes? How about this one: Is it a Falsehood that Humans did NOT evolve from Apes???? Yes and no. Humans descend from a population of primates from which other apes also descended (minimally the two species of living chimps) and which was part of the panoply of late Miocene forms, all related to each other, that we call apes. So yes, humans evolved from apes. There are people who don’t believe that. They, creationists, think that apes are apes and humans came from somewhere else, like the Garden of Eden or Mud or whatever. ( This may depend on which flavor of creationist and, frankly, which humans the creationist is talking about … by some creationist theories, white people came from Eden, while various brown people came from various mud, and Jews came from monkeys.) When creationists object to the phrase “Humans evolved from apes” evolutionary biologists tend to respond with a long list of reasons that we should assume that humans and chimps DID evolve from a common ancestor which was an ape of some kind. People who are not creationists, but still prefer some kind of human exceptionalism, may not like the phrase because it strongly implies that humans are apes, and they may prefer that we be thought of as different from apes."

Unicellular organisms can interact with other organisms to increase their physiological efficiency, which is how we will usually encounter them in this unit, Prokaryotes are limited in physiological complexity due to the lack of membrane-bound organelles Some prokaryotic species have modified the cell membrane to specialize in particular nutritional modes. All physiology has to occur in a relatively uniform cellular environment Some prokaryotes demonstrate physiological modes that are unique among organisms. Unicellular eukaryotes are able to utilize membrane-bound organelles to compartmentalize the cell. Compartmentalization allows for more regulation of cellular conditions and a wider diversity of physiological processes to occur in the cell. Do not underestimate the impact of unicellular eukaryotes. While fungi are multicellular, they have limited cellular differentiation."

Altheide+ Author Affiliations Glycobiology Research and Training Center, Departments of Medicine and Cellular & Molecular Medicine, University of California at San Diego, La Jolla, California 92093, USANext Section Abstract The chimpanzee genome sequence is a long-awaited milestone, providing opportunities to explore primate evolution and genetic contributions to human physiology and disease. Humans and chimpanzees shared a common ancestor ∼5-7 million years ago (Mya). The difference between the two genomes is actually not ∼1%, but ∼4%—comprising ∼35 million single nucleotide differences and ∼90 Mb of insertions and deletions. The challenge is to identify the many evolutionarily, physiologically, and biomedically important differences scattered throughout these genomes while integrating these data with emerging knowledge about the corresponding “phenomes” and the relevant environmental influences. It is logical to tackle the genetic aspects via both genome-wide analyses and candidate gene studies. Genome-wide surveys could eliminate the majority of genomic sequence differences from consideration, while simultaneously identifying potential targets of opportunity. Meanwhile, candidate gene approaches can be based on such genomic surveys, on genes that may contribute to known differences in phenotypes or disease incidence/severity, or on mutations in the human population that impact unique aspects of the human condition. These two approaches will intersect at many levels and should be considered complementary. We also cite some known genetic differences between humans and great apes, realizing that these likely represent only the tip of the iceberg.

All Khan Academy content is available for free at www.khanacademy.org The nervous system is made up of neurons, the specialized cells that can receive and transmit chemical or electrical signals, and glia, the cells that provide support functions for the neurons. A neuron can be compared to an electrical wire: it transmits a signal from one place to another. Glia can be compared to the workers at the electric company who make sure wires go to the right places, maintain the wires, and take down wires that are broken. Recent evidence suggests that glia may also assist in some of the signaling functions of neurons. Neurons communicate via both electrical signals and chemical signals. The electrical signals are action potentials, which transmit the information from one of a neuron to the other; the chemical signals are neurotransmitters, which transmit the information from one neuron to the next. An action potential is a rapid, temporary change in membrane potential (electrical charge), and it is caused by sodium rushing to a neuron and potassium rushing out. Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers which are released from one neuron as a result of an action potential; they cause a rapid, temporary change in the membrane potential of the adjacent neuron to initiate an action potential in that neuron. Parts of a Neuron Like other cells, each neuron has a cell body (or soma) that contains a nucleus and other cellular components."

Tomkins on April 2, 2014PDF Download Share: Abstract Modern genomics provides the ability to screen the DNA of a wide variety of organisms to scrutinize broken metabolic pathways. This wealth of data has revealed wide-spread genetic entropy in human and other genomes. Loss of the vitamin C pathway due to deletions in the GULO (L-gulonolactone oxidase) gene has been detected in humans, apes, guinea pigs, bats, mice, rats, pigs, and passerine birds. Contrary to the popularized claims of some evolutionists and neo-creationists, patterns of GULO degradation are taxonomically restricted and fail to support macroevolution. Current research and data reported here show that multiple GULO exon losses in human, chimpanzee, and gorilla occurred independently in each taxon and are associated with regions containing a wide variety of transposable element fragments. Thus, they are another example of sequence deletions occurring via unequal recombination associated with transposable element repeats. The 28,800 base human GULO region is only 84% and 87% identical compared to chimpanzee and gorilla, respectively. The 13,000 bases preceding the human GULO gene, which corresponds to the putative area of loss for at least two major exons, is only 68% and 73% identical to chimpanzee and gorilla, respectively. These DNA similarities are inconsistent with predictions of the common ancestry paradigm. Further, gorilla is considerably more similar to human in this region than chimpanzee—negating the inferred order of phylogeny."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Biology Biology: What's the difference between Hydrolysis and Condensation?1 following 12 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: hydrolysis = hydro (water) lysis (splitting). so you are splitting/breaking a chemical bond by the addition of water (H2O). more correctly, it is by the introduction of the elements that make up water (hydrogen and oxygen). The reactions are more complicated than just adding water to a compound, but by the end of a hydrolysis reaction, there will be 2 more hydrogens and 1 more oxygen shared between the products, than there were before the reaction occured. Simple example. An ester is hydrolysed into an alcohol and a carboxylic acid. condensation is the opposite. it is when 2H and 1O are LOST from a compound or compounds during the reaction. Most often this occurs when 2 reactants form 1 product - the bond between them being formed by the concerted loss of H2O Example - an alcohol + a carboxylic acid -> ester + H2Ojim jones · 1 decade ago7 0 Comment Condensation Reaction Definition Source (s):https://shrink.im/a9bwbheckle · 2 years ago0 0 Comment This Site Might Help You.

Apply general APA style and formatting conventions in a research paper. In this chapter, you will learn how to use APA style, the documentation and formatting style followed by the American Psychological Association, as well as MLA style, from the Modern Language Association. There are a few major formatting styles used in academic texts, including AMA, Chicago, and Turabian: AMA (American Medical Association) for medicine, health, and biological sciences APA (American Psychological Association) for education, psychology, and the social sciences Chicago—a common style used in everyday publications like magazines, newspapers, and books MLA (Modern Language Association) for English, literature, arts, and humanities Turabian—another common style designed for its universal application across all subjects and disciplines While all the formatting and citation styles have their own use and applications, in this chapter we focus our attention on the two styles you are most likely to use in your academic studies: APA and MLA. If you find that the rules of proper source documentation are difficult to keep straight, you are not alone. Writing a good research paper is, in and of itself, a major intellectual challenge. Having to follow detailed citation and formatting guidelines as well may seem like just one more task to add to an already-too-long list of requirements. Following these guidelines, however, serves several important purposes. First, it signals to your readers that your paper should be taken seriously as a student’s contribution to a given academic or professional field; it is the literary equivalent of wearing a tailored suit to a job interview. Second, it shows that you respect other people’s work enough to give them proper credit for it."

"text": "\"Home > Research Paper > APA Writing Style Martyn Shuttleworth 48K reads One of the trickiest parts of writing any academic work is using the correct style, and APA writing style is just one of the many formats, used by many sciences. The most important thing to remember with APA standard is that the manual is aimed at psychologists. Whilst other fields may base their papers upon this style, they may have subtle differences - some fields do not like the pronoun we, for example, whereas psychology has no problem with this practice. Always check with your supervisor, and establish the correct style before you start. The main thing to bear in mind with the APA writing style is that it is currently undergoing many changes, as a response to the electronic information age. The Evolution of the APA Writing Style The difficulty with APA style, and with any style, is that it has adapted and evolved over the years, and an older teacher or professor may have a completely different preference to a younger one. For example, older supervisors may prefer you to stick with the passive voice, whereas modern writing and convention has moved towards using active where possible. There really is no correct way to write a paper, as things stand, so it is most important to make sure that you are consistent and that the paper has a nice 'flow', and is readable. Personal or Impersonal? The principle is not as complicated as it seems, because it is simple an extension of what you already know."

"text": "\"How to Cite-in text How you cite a working within your document varies depending on your writing style, whether you are quoting your source directly, and the type of source you are quorting. When using APA format, follow the author-date method of in-text citation. This means that the author's last name and the year of publication for the source should appear in the text, E.g., (Jones, 1998), and a complete reference should appear in the reference list at the end of the paper. If you are referring to an idea from another work but NOT directly quoting the material, or making reference to an entire book, article or other work, you only have to make reference to the author and year of publication in your in-text reference. The examples below attempt to address most of your in-text citing needs. Short Quotations If you are directly quoting from a work, you will need to include the author, year of publication, and the page number for the reference (preceded by \"\"p.\"\"). Introduce the quotation with a signal phrase that includes the author's last name followed by the date of publication in parentheses. According to Jones (1998), \"\"Students often had difficulty using APA style, especially when it was their first time\"\" (p. 199).

Rocco Pendola Updated November 22, 2016In 1929, a group of businesspeople and social scientists got together and came up with what is known as American Psychological Association (APA) Style. Their aim was not to give college student's fits; rather, they sought to codify scientific writing to make it easier to read and comprehend. A running header in APA Style identifies the title and page number of your paper throughout its entirety. APA Paper Structure Though best known as the primary way to cite research paper sources in the social and behavioral sciences, APA Style covers general essay structure extensively. In addition to requiring a running header, the APA format necessitates a title page, abstract, main body and reference list in your paper, although individual professors often tweak these requirements. Each section must follow stringent stylistic guidelines. You should include a running header on every page of your document. But the particulars on the title page differ from all other pages, which maintain consistency throughout. Title Page The title page of your APA Style paper includes a running header that is distinct from the header that leads off all other pages."

A literature review is not an annotated bibliography in which you summarize briefly each article that you have reviewed. While a summary of the what you have read is contained within the literature review, it goes well beyond merely summarizing professional literature. It focuses on a specific topic of interest to you and includes a critical analysis of the relationship among different works, and relating this research to your work."

These style guidelines specify different aspects of a document's presentation and layout, including how pages are structured, the organization of references, and how citations are made. This format also stipulates the use of an abstract designed to very briefly summarize the key details contained in a paper without providing too much detail. Why Is an Abstract Important In APA Format? While it is sometimes overlooked or only an afterthought, an abstract is an important part of any academic or professional paper. This brief overview serves as a summary of what your paper contains, so it should succinctly and accurately represent what your paper is about and what the reader can expect to find. Fortunately, by following a few simple guidelines, you can create an abstract that generates interest in your work and help readers quickly learn if the paper will be of interest to them. The Basics of an APA Format Abstract The abstract is the second page of a lab report or APA-format paper and should immediately follow the title page. Think of an abstract as a highly condensed summary of your entire paper. The purpose of your abstract is to provide a brief yet thorough overview of your paper."

Here are some resources to help the weary nursing student. The american pyschological association (apa) style is a set of rules or guidelines designed to ensure clarity and uniformity of scientific writing. This publication manual aims to minimize distraction and maximize precision in the writing process. The guide also standardizes nearly every aspect of writing, such as: authorship; headings; bias-free language; punctuation; abbreviations; constructing tables; avoiding plagiarism; and citing references. The apa documentation style is used for research in science-related fields, whereas the mla is utilized for research in the liberal arts. There are thousands of peer-reviewed journals, references, and books that use apa as their style guide. Apa also provides a format for cross-referencing sources, from citations-in-text to the reference page. Cross-referencing is of great value to researchers who need to locate original sources for their own research projects.

"text": "\"The apatite Mineral Group Apatite is named for the Greek word apate, which means \"\"deceit\"\", since Apatite is similar in appearance to many other minerals. Apatite describes a group of similar isomorphous hexagonal phosphate minerals. The primary Apatite group includes Fluorapatite, Chlorapatite, and Hydroxylapatite. The extended Apatite supergroup describes additional minerals such as Pyromorphite, Mimetite, and Vanadinite, but these are described individually in this guide. It can be difficult to distinguish between individual members of the primary Apatite group. A designation of the specific Apatite type is not usually made, being called simply \"\"Apatite\"\" by collectors and dealers. However, most of the fine crystals and collector specimens are of the Fluorapatite type, which is by far the most common form of Apatite. Apatite is the most common phosphate mineral, and is the main source of the phosphorus required by plants. The bones and teeth of most animals, including humans, are composed of calcium phosphate, which is the same material as Apatite.

As is the case with most things God made, human technology cannot come close to producing something with bone’s amazing properties. Consider, for example, the work of Antoni Tomsia at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California. He and his colleagues are trying to artificially produce something with the characteristics of bone, but they simply cannot come up with anything as elegant and sophisticated as bone. He says: People want a strong, light, and porous material, which is almost a contradiction in terms, but nature does it…Bone is made from calcium phosphate and collagen, which are both extremely weak.

Cook Frederic Festy Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.dental.2013.08.202 Get rights and content Open Access funded by Wellcome Trust Under a Creative Commons license open access Abstract Objective Since their introduction, calcium silicate cements have primarily found use as endodontic sealers, due to long setting times. While similar in chemistry, recent variations such as constituent proportions, purities and manufacturing processes mandate a critical understanding of service behavior differences of the new coronal restorative material variants. Of particular relevance to minimally invasive philosophies is the potential for ion supply, from initial hydration to mature set in dental cements. They may be capable of supporting repair and remineralization of dentin left after decay and cavity preparation, following the concepts of ion exchange from glass ionomers. Methods This paper reviews the underlying chemistry and interactions of glass ionomer and calcium silicate cements, with dental tissues, concentrating on dentin–restoration interface reactions. We additionally demonstrate a new optical technique, based around high resolution deep tissue, two-photon fluorescence and lifetime imaging, which allows monitoring of undisturbed cement–dentin interface samples behavior over time. Results The local bioactivity of the calcium-silicate based materials has been shown to produce mineralization within the subjacent dentin substrate, extending deep within the tissues. This suggests that the local ion-rich alkaline environment may be more favorable to mineral repair and re-construction, compared with the acidic environs of comparable glass ionomer based materials. Significance The advantages of this potential re-mineralization phenomenon for minimally invasive management of carious dentin are self-evident. There is a clear need to improve the bioactivity of restorative dental materials and these calcium silicate cement systems offer exciting possibilities in realizing this goal."

Abstract Utilization of aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms in iron ore beneficiation is discussed. Microorganisms such as Paenibacillus polymyxa, Bacillus subtilis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast) and Desulfovibrio desulfuricans (SRB) are capable of significantly altering the surface chemical behavior of iron ore minerals such as hematite, corundum, calcite, quartz and apatite. Differing mineral surface affinities of microbial cells and metabolic products such as proteins and polysaccharides can be utilized to induce their flotation or flocculation. Mineral-specific bioreagents such as proteins are generated when bacteria and yeast were grown in the presence of hematite, corundum, calcite, quartz and apatite. This study has demonstrated the utility and amenability of microbially-induced mineral beneficiation of iron ores through bacterial and yeast cells and their metabolic byproducts. Keywords: Paenibacillus Polymyxa, Bacillus Subtilis, Saccharomyces Cerrevisiae, Desulfovibrio Desulfuricans, Biobeneficiation, Iron Ores, Bioreagents Article Outline1."

Jasper - Andrew Alden photoby Andrew Alden Updated October 08, 2017When certain minerals compress under specific conditions, most often below the surface of the earth, a process occurs which forms a new compound known as a gemstone. Gemstones can be made of one or more minerals, and as a result some minerals refer to more than one gemstone name. In order to better understand the interaction between the two, reference the two charts below — the first details each gemstone and the minerals that combined to form it and the second lists each mineral and the gemstones it can produce. For instance, Quartz can form Amethyst, Ametrine, Citrine, and Morion (and a few more) gemstones depending on which other minerals and elements compress together and at what depth in the earth's crust and temperature the compression occurs at. How Gemstones are Formed Most gemstones are formed in either the crust or the very top layer of the earth's mantle in the molten magma bubbling in the depths of the world, but only peridot and diamonds are formed deep in the mantle. All gems, however, are mined in the crust where they can cool to solidify in the crust, which is made up of igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rock. Like the minerals that make up gemstones, some are associated with one kind of rock in particular while others have several types of rock that go into the creation of that stone. Igneous gemstones are formed when magma solidifies in the crust and crystallizes to form minerals then an increase in pressure starts a series of chemical exchanges which eventually cause the mineral to compress into a gemstone. Igneous rock gemstones include amethyst, citrine, ametrine, emeralds, morganite, and aquamarine as well as garnet, moonstone, apatite, and even diamond and zircon."

People like white diamonds over the yellow gemstones, however, which explains how white or clear diamonds are so rife in the market to the point that people think all diamonds are white. The yellow precious stones do exist, produced by the intrusion of nitrogen into the otherwise colorless precious stones — which is the most common impurity in diamonds. A variety of the yellow gems can be quite expensive, however, even more expensive than white diamonds. The precious yellow stones command high prices when they are vividly yellow, otherwise known as the fancy canary diamonds. Diamond in general is the traditional and modern birthstone for the month of April, both in the Western and Hindu calendar."

But, in this case, all of these things are made of the same stuff. What is this material, you ask? Well, it’s one of the most common phosphate minerals, or calcium phosphate. This mineral is used in fertilizer, it’s what our teeth and bones are made of, and in the gem world, it goes by the name apatite (pronounced just like “appetite”). Jane Duke created this necklace and earring set using 14kt gold-filled wire and aquamarine, prehnite, and apatite beads. There are actually three different types of apatite. Although all are classified as the same material, they differ just a bit in their chemical structure. Calcium phosphate is called hydroxlapatite and is most common in tooth enamel and bones. Fluorapatite is most familiar as the fluoride we have in toothpaste and fluoridated water."

The most important number on this scale of 7. Why? 7 is the hardness of Quartz, which is the hardest mineral that is commonly air born. It is important to have jewelery with gemstones in it that have a MOHS of 7 or higher because of the amount of dust and impurities in the air.

With a wide aperture (so a low number, like f/1.8) gives a shallow depth of field - sometimes less than a millimetre with a macro lens. Because a lot of light is reaching the sensor (be it film or digital), this allows for fast shutter speeds With a narrow aperture (so a high number like f/22), the depth of field is much greater, which is useful for things like landscape photography - it will limit the amount of light reaching your sensor, so you will get slower shutter speeds, which makes a tripod handy.share improve this answeranswered Jul 15 '10 at 19:53Rowland Shaw12.5k 8 58 11311But what is aperture? – mattdm Dec 6 '11 at 17:534It's the size of the opening through which light goes to reach the camera's sensor. – Nicolas Bouliane Aug 7 '15 at 13:261@Nicolas Bouliane If only that comment were in the answer ... – mattdm Jul 19 '17 at 17:49Narrow aperature can cause difraction and limit the sharpness in certain cases. cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/diffraction-photography.htm Wide open aperature may also exacerbate various defects in the lense, such as chromatic aberation, sharpness, etc... I don't pretend I understand fully the physics why, but I think it has something to do with light hitting the edge of the lenses, which bends the light more and makes defects more visible. – Calyth Sep 15 '17 at 21:06add a commentup vote50down vote Aperture simply means \"\"opening\"\", and in photography we use the term to refer to the diameter of the opening in a special adjustable diaphragm within each lens. When this diaphragm is constricted, there's less physical space for light to get in, so naturally the exposure is darker, and a more-open aperture allows more light and results in a lighter exposure."

Different apertures also have negative and positive creative effects and this post will teach you what they are and how to use them to your advantage. Section 1 – What Exactly Is Aperture? The best way to understand aperture is to think of it as the controls for the pupil of an eye – the wider it gets, the more light it lets in. Together, the aperture, shutter speed and ISO produce an exposure. The diameter of the aperture changes, allowing more or less light onto the sensor depending on the situation. More creative uses of different apertures and their consequences are tackled in Section 2 but, when talking about light and exposure, wider apertures allow more light and narrower ones allow less. Section 2 – How is Aperture Measured and Changed? Aperture is measured using something called the f-stop scale."

In order to capture some subjects, whether they be fast moving or not, you may want, or even need, to use a fast shutter speed. By understanding when fast shutter speeds are needed and how to take them, you can better shoot fast movement. Introduction In order to get technically perfect photos we should be able to pick up our camera, throw it onto \"\"P\"\" mode (for professional right?) and start snapping away regardless of subject. The computers in the camera know exactly what you want right? Unfortunately, photography isn't that easy. Although most of the images we make don't use a fast shutter speed, there are some subjects which require special attention with respect to shutter speed. The majority of these cases involve a fast moving subject whose motion we want to stop. In this article I will show you several examples of where a fast shutter speed may help your photography (or even be necessary), show you how to set up your digital camera to accomplish this (even if you don't have manual modes), and describe some complications and solutions."

"text": "\"Digital Camera Modes A Post By: Darren Rowse This week I did an informal survey on a few of my digital camera owning friends and asked them to nominate which shooting modes that they most commonly use on their digital cameras (they use a range of point and shoot and DSLR digicams). The results of this little survey didn’t really surprise me – Automatic Mode was the overwhelming response from both beginner and the more advanced users alike (a little surprising to me). In fact three of the people I questioned responded by asking ‘is there any other non Automatic mode?’As a result I’ve decided to take a run through the basic shooting modes that most digital cameras have (both point and shoot and DSLRs have most of these). While this is pretty basic information for many readers I hope it will be helpful for those right at the beginning of their digital photography journey who are yet to venture out of Automatic Mode. Automatic Modes Automatic Mode I suspect no one will need any introduction to this mode (as it seems most digital camera owners use it). Auto mode tells your camera to use it’s best judgement to select shutter speed, aperture, ISO, white balance, focus and flash to take the best shot that it can. With some cameras auto mode lets you override flash or change it to red eye reduction. This mode will give you nice results in many shooting conditions, however you need to keep in mind that you’re not telling your camera any extra information about the type of shot you’re taking so it will be ‘guessing’ as to what you want. As a result some of the following modes might be more appropriate to select as they give your camera a few more hints (without you needing to do anything more). Portrait Mode When you switch to portrait mode your camera will automatically select a large aperture (small number) which helps to keep your background out of focus (ie it sets a narrow depth of field – ensuring your subject is the only thing in focus and is therefore the centre of attention in the shot)."

Last Updated On April 4, 2018 By Nasim Mansurov 72 Comments Every once in a while, I get asked why some lenses are so much more expensive compared to others. Interestingly, this question comes from both beginners and advanced photographers, but in different contexts. Beginners want to know why pro-level lenses are a lot more expensive than consumer lenses, while knowledgeable photographers wonder about what makes niche/exotic lenses from companies like Zeiss and Leica so much more expensive than modern professional lenses. These are all interesting and valid questions, so I thought writing a couple of articles to attempt to answer these questions would be useful for our readers. In this article, I want to answer the first beginner question on what makes professional lenses expensive. NIKON D3S @ 50mm, ISO 400, 1/60, f/5.61) Lens Categories To understand differences between lenses, I believe it is important to first categorize them into different groups. This is obviously a subjective categorization, something I personally came up with to group lenses in our lens database: Consumer – all affordable variable aperture lenses with f/3.5 and slower aperture and some cheap f/1.8 primes lenses (see prime vs zoom lenses ). Plastic build and sometimes even a plastic mount to stay cheap. Often designed specifically for crop-sensor cameras."

In the old 35mm film days, taking a great picture was exceedingly difficult for amateurs and required a lot of trial and error. Modern cameras like the Nikon D3200 make it so even a brand-new beginning photographer can take great looking pictures right out of the box. To take the next step into intermediate photography, many Nikon shooters choose to purchase additional lenses for their cameras. Having a variety of good lenses on hand opens up new types of images to intermediate photographers, resulting in going from a good photo to a great photo, all without having to have several cameras around. Unfortunately, picking out the right lens is not always easy. In fact, with the staggering amount of Nikon lenses on the market, the choices for a beginner can be more than a little overwhelming, and it can be difficult to tell which features will result in a better shot. For example, whether the lens is designated as USM, HSM, or USD will tell you how quickly and quietly the lens will focus, but different brands uses different terms. In the end, most will agree that all three of these mean basically the same thing. When USM, HSM, or USD is present in a lens, the focus will be swift and smooth."

It might be the single most important camera setting in all of photography, simply because it affects so many different variables of an image. Aperture can add dimension to your photographs by blurring the background, and it also alters the exposure of your images by making them brighter or darker. In this chapter of “Photography Basics”, we will cover everything you need to know about aperture, all in very simple language. By adjusting your aperture, you can change the depth of field in an image, as shown here. What is Aperture? Aperture is a hole within a lens, through which light travels into the camera body. It is an easy concept to understand if you just think about how your eyes work. As you move between bright and dark environments, the iris in your eyes either expands or shrinks, controlling the size of your pupil. In photography, the “pupil” of your lens is called your aperture."

While you are able to take some decent pictures right out of the box, once you have an understanding of exposure, you will find the pictures that you produce surpass the questionable title of 'snapshots' and become photographs and memories. Steps1 Understand what \"\"exposure of the image\"\" is and how will it affect your photographs. Exposure is an umbrella term that refers to two aspects of photography – it is referring to how to control the lightness and the darkness of the image. The exposure is controlled by the camera's light meter. The light meter determines what the proper exposure is; it all sets the f-stop and shutter speed. The f-stop is a fraction; the f represents the focal length. The f-stop is determined by dividing the focal length by the aperture. f/2.8 would be 1/2.8 versus f/16 which would be 1/16. If you look at it like slices of a pie, you would get a lot more pie with 1/2.8 than you would with 1/16."

The two shooting modes are Aperture Priority Mode and Shutter Priority Mode. A Quick Reviser We’re looked at how the three elements of the exposure triangle impact one another. This is particularly the case when it comes to aperture and shutter speeds. As you increase the size of your aperture (make the hole that you shoot through bigger) you let more light into your image sensor. As a result you will need a shorter shutter speed. In the opposite way if you increase the length of time your shutter is open you decrease the necessary aperture that you’ll need to get a well exposed shot. Priority Modes Aperture and Shutter Priority modes are really semi-manual (or semi-automatic) modes."

"text": "What Is Aperture?by Harry Guinness on March 30th, 2017In photography, the aperture is the hole in a lens that lets light into your camera. RELATED: What Is Shutter Speed? When you take a photo, the shutter inside your camera swings up and lets light hit the sensor. How much light hits the sensor is determined by two things: how long the shutter is open for and how big a hole—the aperture—the light has to get through. The more light that hits the sensor, the brighter the image. We’ve already looked at shutter speed , so let’s explore the aperture. How Aperture Works Imagine trying to fill a bucket of water in a rainstorm. The aperture is the size of the hole at the top of the bucket. If you’ve got three different buckets, each with the same capacity but a different sized hole, then the one with the biggest hole will fill up fastest. This is the same as what happens when you take a photo."

"text": "\"What Is Bokeh? Bokeh is a popular but sometimes misunderstood photography subject. Because it is so closely related to depth of field, sometimes people will confuse limited depth of field with bokeh, yet they are not the same. Depth of field refers to how much of the photo is in focus and bokeh refers to the visual quality of the out of focus area in the picture. The term bokeh comes from a Japanese word “boke” which carries a meaning of something that is blurry, hazy or fuzzy. It is commonly used to describe someone who is not thinking right or making silly mistakes and could be loosely translated as “fuzziness” or “confusion”. In photography it is used to describe the characteristics of the out of focus area in a photograph. While most people will recognize how “good bokeh” improves a picture when they see it, it is not always clear as to what separates “good bokeh” from “bad bokeh”…if there really is such a thing as “bad bokeh”. It might be better to think of bokeh in terms of good, better and best…since it is somewhat subjective and photographers even disagree as to exactly what it means. Different Understandings of Bokeh At its simplest or broadest meaning, the term bokeh is used to refer to the out of focus area in an image."

This was another requested post from Barbara who’s on my video training course. When you’re on the course, you can make small requests like this. Let’s start with an easy one. Numbers and Letters on Lenses What does 18-55mm mean? This refers to the focal length of your lens. 18mm is wide angle, and 55mm is more zoomed. When you zoom your lens in, you’re zooming between 18mm and 55mm. The ‘mm’ stands for millimeter, and this is the distance between your camera’s sensor, and the point of convergence in the lens."

This projected image circle must be large enough to cover the rectangular sensor, like so: Lenses designed for Nikon DX generally project a smaller image circle because they only need to cover the smaller DX sensor. This enables a DX lens to be smaller and lighter, but also means that these lenses are not suitable, by design, for FX cameras. For the Canon ecosystem this law is absolute, as EF-S lenses, designed for a smaller APS-C size sensor, cannot be mounted on full frame EF bodies. The great thing about Nikon is that they do their best to offer backward compatibility. Mounting DX lenses on FX bodies has always been possible, with the FX DSLR automatically cropping the image frame to only output the area covered by the DX sensor. Additionally, you can set the camera to output the full FX frame regardless of the mounted lens, by accessing Shooting Menu -> Image Area -> Auto DX crop -> OFF. You might expect this to spell trouble with DX lenses because of extreme vignetting. Indeed this is what one sees when mounting many types of dedicated DX lens, espsecially zooms, on FX bodies. Here is an example of what you see with a Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G DX VR lens on a Nikon FX camera (single frame from a HD video sequence recorded with a Nikon D600): The bad news is that high quality FX lenses like Nikon’s golden “trinity” are intimidatingly expensive, big and heavy."

I simply could not wrap my mind around the difference in the numbers. It was when studying math with my daughter for the second time in my life that my eyes finally opened. In my example (above), you have two circles, one distinctly larger than the other. The amount of light entering the lens in any given space of time is directly dependent on the size of those circles. This is known as aperture. Think of it as a piece of pie. One-half (1/2) of a pie is a greater portion than one-sixteenth (1/16). Therefore, one-half of the pie will hold more apples in it than the one-sixteenth portion. Applying this to photography, the greater the slice of pie, the greater the amount of light. \"\""

More specifically, the aperture and focal length of an optical system determine the cone angle of a bundle of rays that come to a focus in the image plane. The aperture determines how collimated the admitted rays are, which is of great importance for the appearance at the image plane. [ 2] If an aperture is narrow, then highly collimated rays are admitted, resulting in a sharp focus at the image plane. A wide aperture admits uncollimated rays, resulting in a sharp focus only for rays coming from a certain distance. This means that a wide aperture results in an image that is sharp for things at the correct distance. The aperture also determines how many of the incoming rays are actually admitted and thus how much light reaches the image plane (the narrower the aperture, the darker the image for a given exposure time). In the human eye, the pupil is the aperture. An optical system typically has many openings or structures that limit the ray bundles (ray bundles are also known as pencils of light)."

[ 1] [2] Apgar was an anesthesiologist who developed the score in order to ascertain the effects of obstetric anesthesia on babies. The Apgar score is determined by evaluating the newborn baby on five simple criteria on a scale from zero to two, then summing up the five values thus obtained. The resulting Apgar score ranges from zero to 10. The five criteria ( A ppearance, P ulse, G rimace, A ctivity, R espiration) are used as a mnemonic learning aid.

Scores 3 and below are generally regarded as critically low, 4 to 6 fairly low, and 7 to 10 generally normal. A low score on the one-minute test may show that the neonate requires medical attention [3] but is not necessarily an indication that there will be long-term problems, particularly if there is an improvement by the stage of the five-minute test. If the Apgar score remains below 3 at later times such as 10, 15, or 30 minutes, there is a risk that the child will suffer longer-term neurological damage. There is also a small but significant increase of the risk of cerebral palsy."

Brick Copyright 2005 All Rights Reserved Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and its effect on symptomology and interpersonal relationships is a relatively new field historically. Legislation has been passed protecting children from rape and sodomy in many European countries. In the 18th and 19th centuries, books advised parents how to prevent child sexual abuse. But child sex abuse was not seen as a major problem in Europe and the United States until fairly recently. Only in the last two decades has childhood sexual abuse been seen in the field of mental health, psychiatry and social work as an important social problem with effects connected to this trauma (Baker, 2003). Though there has been a lot of discussion about how it correlates with a variety of illnesses and psychiatric diagnoses (Styron & Janoff-Bulman, 1997; Gelinas, 1983) there has been little discussion of how childhood sexual abuse actually affects interpersonal relationships directly. Childhood sexual abuse has been defined in a variety of ways. These different definitions include overt (defined as direct physical abuse or contact) and covert abuse (nonphysical abuse or noncontact), as well as differentiations in each category, including penetration and fondling for overt abuse and spying (or peeping), exposing and inappropriate sexual comments for covert abuse (Collings, 1995). Interpersonal relationships can be defined as the connection between two people, communicative and physical (which includes touch and body language). Variables that affect interpersonal relationships include emotional states (such as fear or depression), social skill levels, repetition compulsion (including revictimization), trust of others, oneself and life situations, brain damage or conditioning (as seen in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD), styles of relating and attachment, sexual needs, desires and dysfunctions, transference issues, codependency issues, diagnoses and psychopathology and general intimacy and relationship issues."

The Apgar score is done on every baby at 1 and 5 minutes of life to assess whether the baby needs resuscitation or not. The 1-Minute Apgar score helps to decide whether the baby needs resuscitation or support right after birth. A score from 0-3 usually means that the baby requires support while a score of 7 and above means the baby does not need support. A score of 4-6 means that the decision needs to be individualized. The Apgar score should not be used to decide how the baby is going to do long term, it's only a short-term measure for the time of birth. How Is It Done? At one minute and again five minutes after birth, the nurse or a doctor examines the baby and checks her for five different parameters: The baby’s heart rate is counted, breathing is checked, reflexes are assessed, muscle tone is evaluated and the baby’s color is checked. Often there is an alarm clock above the crib making sure these tests are done exactly on time. Each of these 5 parameters is given a score of between 0 and 2 at 1-minute and 5-minutes after delivery and the scores are added up for the total Apgar score."

Neonatal nurses are a vital part of the neonatal care team and are required to know basic newborn resuscitation, be able to control the newborn's temperature and know how to initiate cardiopulmonary and pulse oximetry monitoring. [ 1] Most neonatal nurses care for infants from the time of birth until they are discharged from the hospital. Approximately 40,000 low-birth-weight infants are born annually in the United States."

They add that low Apgar score might be interpreted as an indicator of brain impairment that has occurred in utero or during delivery. \"\" Such interpretation of Apgar score implies that all children with a low Apgar score have a similar risk of cerebral palsy independent of birth weight, which is in accordance with our results. \"\" Their findings were published online October 8 in the British Medical Journal. Association Debated\"\"An association between low Apgar score and cerebral palsy was first thoroughly described in 1981, but has since been debated,\"\" the authors write. \"\" More recent studies have found a strong association between low Apgar score and cerebral palsy in children born to term or with normal birth weight, whereas studies in children with a low birth weight or born preterm have shown conflicting results. \"\" The Apgar score measures the vitality of the newborn infant according to 5 simple criteria: complexion, pulse rate, reaction when stimulated, muscle tone, and breathing, on a scale from zero to 2. The 5 values are then summed up to obtain a score from zero to 10. Scores of 3 and below are regarded as critically low, 4 to 6 fairly low, and 7 to 10 generally normal."

The Apgar score is a screening test used worldwide to quickly assess the health of an infant one minute and five minutes after birth. The 1-minute Apgar score measures how well the newborn tolerated the birthing process. The 5-minute Apgar score assesses how well the newborn is adapting to the environment. Virginia Apgar, M. D.

But a deeper study reveals that there's much more to this unusual trait, and plenty that we still haven't been able to fully explain. About 8-10% of people are left-handed. That's a moderately interesting little factoid, but beneath it is a glorious patchwork of data and research, showing the variations of that number through history and across the continents and various demographics, and changes in our understanding of what it means. Why are 8-10% of people left-handed? How did they get that way? Does it really mean anything? Has this 8-10% always been a part of the human story? One interesting way of assessing handedness from prehistoric times is to look at negative hand paintings in Paleolithic caves. The oldest of these come from western Europe, ranging from 10,000 to 35,000 years ago."

Jan 1, 1900Neonatal Care Truly Begins with Midwives and Obstetricians Before the 1900's, most premature babies could not be saved. However with the invention of the incubator, most doctors and midwives delivering babies were able to care for these special needs infants. It was not pediatricians that initially care for these infants. Jan 1, 1912First Techniques of Collecting Infant Blood Discovered Until this time, there was no practical way to collect blood from infants. DR. Kenneth Blackfan was the first to figure out a sucessful way for this to be done. It did not involve a needle, but required for the nurse to open the blood vessles and drain out the blood. Mar 14, 1916First Transportable Incubator Created The creation of transportable incubators allowed for babies to be moved easily around hospitals, which facilitated the treatments that they needed. A baby that needed surgery could be moved to the OR easily, and they could move the incubators around the unit when the babies moved from their intensive care to intermediate care."

Babies are rarely born with aphakia. Occurrence most often results from surgery to remove congenital cataract (clouding of the eye's lens, which can block light from entering the eye and focusing clearly). Congenital cataracts usually develop as a result of infection of the fetus or genetic reasons.

"text": "Lens The lens is located in the eye. By changing its shape, the lens changes the focal distance of the eye. In other words, it focuses the light rays that pass through it (and onto the retina) in order to create clear images of objects that are positioned at various distances. It also works together with the cornea to refract, or bend, light. The lens is of ellipsoid, biconvex shape. An ellipsoid is similar to a sphere but stretched out, like an olive, and biconvex means it’s rounded outward on both sides. The lens is about 10 mm across and 4 mm from front to back in adults, although its shape and size varies as it changes its focus. The lens consists of the lens capsule, the lens epithelium, and the lens fibers. The lens capsule is the smooth, transparent outermost layer of the lens, while the lens fibers are long, thin, transparent cells that form the bulk of the lens. The lens epithelium lies between these two and is responsible for the stable functioning of the lens."

Goldenberg, MDPublished 1 April 2009Causes and Treatment Of Pseudophakic CMEPatients’ higher expectations for post-cataract vision have put a new emphasis on preventing CME. Pravin U. Dugel, MD Phoenix Pseudophakic cystoid macular edema was first described by A. Ray Irvine Jr., MD, 1 in 1953 and further elucidated by J. Donald M Gass, MD, in 1969. 2 Dr. Gass described that the peak incidence occurred at six weeks postoperatively, and suggested there was a difference between angiographic versus clinically significant PCME, in that only a few patients complained of decreased vision. Clinical PCME is now defined as a Snellen visual acuity of 20/40 or worse. Common symptoms include decreased visual acuity and contrast sensitivity as well as metamorphopsia. Although the adoption of phacoemulsification over extracapsular cataract removal has decreased the rate of PCME from the 16 to 24 percent range, 3 the increasing use of multifocal intraocular lens implants has led to higher expectations from patients. Due to the design of these new implants, which inherently diminish contrast sensitivity, even mild PCME can result in a significant reduction in quality of vision and patient satisfaction. When the Food and Drug Administration approves the use of any new IOL, it states that the \"\"acceptable rate\"\" of clinically significant PCME should be less than 5 percent. Given the rapidly evolving surgical and IOL technology, \"\"clinically significant\"\" PCME may need to be redefined to fit both the patient's visual requirements and expectations. Incidence The incidence of PCME following phacoemulsification in uncomplicated, low-risk patients can vary from 2 percent to 12 percent."

In 2016 it is estimated that nearly one in four cataract surgeries will be performed on people younger than 65.1 Many people who have cataracts experience other problems with their vision, such as presbyopia and astigmatism, which the Symfony lenses also address. Presbyopia, which affects most people over age 40, means people have lost the ability to focus on objects up close and often require glasses to perform near visual tasks. Astigmatism is when the cornea is misshapen, which causes blurry or distorted vision. \"\" The Symfony intraocular lens is a new option I can offer my patients to improve their vision following cataract surgery, especially those who have difficulty focusing on objects at near distances because of presbyopia,\"\" said Eric D.

Contents [ hide]1 Disease Entity1.1 Disease1.2 Etiology2 Management3 Additional Resources4 References Disease Entity Aniseikonia Disease When the magnification variance between the two eyes is disproportionately high, symptoms can arise. Symptoms include headache, eye strain, disorientation, and dizziness. Etiology Aniseikonia can occur naturally or secondary to correction of a refractive error. Up to 7% of aniseikonia between the eyes is usually tolerated, and corresponds to approximately 3 diopters of anisometropia. Types of Aniseikonia: Optically-induced aniseikonia: this condition occurs secondary to anisometropia caused naturally, or secondary to refractive surgery, pseudophakic IOL implantation, or aphakia. Retinally-induced aniseikonia: compression, stretching, or damage to the retina can cause light projected on the retina by a perceived image to appear larger (macropsia) or smaller (micropsia), as a variable number of photoreceptors may be stimulated. Causes of retinally-induced aniseikonia include retinal detachment, retinal tears, retinoschisis, macular edema, macular hole, or epiretinal membranes. Management Treatment is with contact lenses, or magnification size-matched lenses (isokonic lenses)."

A retina detaches when it is torn in a way that allows fluid to collect between the retina and the back of the eye. There are three different types of retinal detachment: Rhegmatogenous: as described above, this is a tear or break in the retina; it is the most common type of retinal detachment.

The four pigments in a bird's cone cells (in this example, estrildid finches) extend the range of color vision into the ultraviolet. [ 1]Tetrachromacy is the condition of possessing four independent channels for conveying color information, or possessing four types of cone cells in the eye. Organisms with tetrachromacy are called tetrachromats. In tetrachromatic organisms, the sensory color space is four-dimensional, meaning that to match the sensory effect of arbitrarily chosen spectra of light within their visible spectrum requires mixtures of at least four primary colors. Tetrachromacy is demonstrated among several species of birds, fish, amphibians, reptiles, insects and some mammals. [ 2] [3] It was the normal condition of most mammals in the past; a genetic change made the majority of species of this class eventually lose two of their four cones.

This means that the animal may see wavelengths beyond those of a typical human being's eyesight, and may be able to distinguish between colors that, to a normal human, appear to be identical."

The most common type of IOL is the pseudophakic IOL. These are implanted during cataract surgery, after the cloudy eye's natural lens (colloquially called a cataract) has been removed. The pseudophakic IOL provides the same light focusing function as the natural crystalline lens. The second type of IOL, more commonly known as a phakic intraocular lens (PIOL), is a lens which is placed over the existing natural lens, and is used in refractive surgery to change the eye's optical power as a treatment for myopia, or nearsightedness. [ 1] IOLs usually consist of a small plastic lens with plastic side struts, called haptics, to hold the lens in place within the capsular bag inside the eye. [ 2] IOLs were conventionally made of an inflexible material ( PMMA ), although this has largely been superseded by the use of flexible materials. [ citation needed] Most IOLs fitted today are fixed monofocal lenses matched to distance vision. However, other types are available, such as multifocal IOLs which provide the patient with multiple-focused vision at far and reading distance, and adaptive IOLs which provide the patient with limited visual accommodation. Surgeons annually implant more than 6 million lenses. ["

"text": "\"Microphthalmia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Microphthalmia Unilateral Microphthalmia Specialty Medical genetics Microphthalmia (Greek: μικρός micros = small; ὀφθαλμός ophthalmos = eye), also referred as microphthalmos, is a developmental disorder of the eye in which one (unilateral microphthalmia) or both (bilateral microphthalmia) eyes are abnormally small and have anatomic malformations. It is different from nanophthalmos in which the eye is small in size but has no anatomical alterations. [ 1]Contents [ hide ]1 Presentation2 Causes3 Diagnosis4 Treatment5 Epidemiology6 See also7 References8 Further reading9 External links Presentation [ edit]The presence of a small eye within the orbit can be a normal incidental finding but in most cases it is abnormal and results in blindness. The incidence is 14 per 100,000 and the condition affects 3-11% of blind children. [ citation needed]Causes [ edit]Microphthalmia in newborns is sometimes associated with fetal alcohol syndrome [1] or infections during pregnancy, particularly herpes simplex virus, rubella and cytomegalovirus (CMV), but the evidence is inconclusive. Genetic causes of microphthalmia include chromosomal abnormalities ( Trisomy 13 ( Patau syndrome ), Triploid Syndrome, 13q deletion syndrome, and Wolf-Hirschhorn Syndrome) or monogenetic Mendelian disorders. The latter may be autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive or X linked. The following genes have been implicated in microphthamia, many of which are transcription and regulatory factors: HGNC symbol Description OMIM Type BCOR BCL6 corepressor 300166 MCOPS2BMP4 [2] Induces cartilage and bone formation 607932 MCOPS6CRYBA4 crystallin, beta A4FOXE3 forkhead box E3GDF3 [3] growth differentiation factor 3GDF6 [4] growth differentiation factor 6MITF microphthalmia-associated transcription factor OTX2 orthodenticle homeobox 2PAX6 paired box 6PITX3 Paired-like homeodomain transcription factor 3RAX retina and anterior neural fold homeobox SHH sonic hedgehog homolog SIX6 SIX homeobox 6SOX2 SRY (sex determining region Y)-box 2 206900 MCOPS3VSX1 visual system homeobox 1 VSX1 visual system homeobox 1RAB18 Ras-related protein 18VSX2 ( CHX10) visual system homeobox 2How these genes result in the eye disorder is unknown but it has been postulated that interference with the process of eye growth after birth may be involved in contrast to anophthalmia (absence of eyeball) which originates much earlier during foetal development. SOX2 has been implicated in a substantial number (10-15%) of cases and in many other cases failure to develop the ocular lens often results in microphthamia.

Manifestations of these changes include Copper wire arterioles where the central light reflex occupies most of the width of the arteriole and Silver wire arterioles where the central light reflex occupies all of the width of the arteriole, and \"\"arterio-venular (AV) nicking\"\" or \"\"AV nipping\"\", due to venous constriction and banking.advanced retinopathy lesions, such as microaneurysms, blot hemorrhages and/or flame hemorrhages, ischemic changes (e.g. \"\" cotton wool spots \"\"), hard exudates and in severe cases swelling of the optic disc ( optic disc edema ), a ring of exudates around the retina called a \"\" macular star\"\" and visual acuity loss, typically due to macular involvement. Mild signs of hypertensive retinopathy can be seen quite frequently in normal people (3–14% of adult individuals aged ≥40 years), even without hypertension.

Dog owners should be aware of the fact that puppies are usually born with some immunity which soon wanes, that is why vaccinations are necessary. Some diseases are hereditary and cannot be detected until a dog becomes at least 18 months of age. The domestic dog (Canis familiaris) has been bred for different purposes and characteristics for thousands of years [1]. The creation of modern dog breeds started around 200 years ago and was based on few founders and breeding strategies such as strong selection for certain traits, popular sires and inbreeding/backcrossing. This has led to enrichment of disease mutations in different breeds. Occasionally, a dog's skin becomes itchy and inflamed for no apparent reason, especially when he has no history of allergies or flea-associated dermatitis. Parasitic skin infections are fairly common in dogs, but sometimes quite hard to diagnose.

I help restore people's sight, which is very meaningful. I have a great practice, and I also serve as a leader and educator together with Ohio State's tremendous faculty and staff. Our experts work as a team to care for patients with some of the most challenging eye conditions. Many are referred by doctors throughout Ohio and surrounding states. We treat routine conditions, such as cataracts, as well as complex conditions like corneas that failed due to disease or injury. We've treated people who had poor results elsewhere and were effectively blind, but we restored their sight. That's incredibly rewarding. Ophthalmology is about personalizing care.

"text": "What is APHAKIAAPHAKIAAphakia literally means absence of crystalline lens from the eye. However, from the optical point of view, it may be considered a condition in which the lens is absent from the pupillary area. Aphakia produces a high degree of hypermetropia. Causes 1. Congenital absence of lens. It is a rare condition. 2. Surgical aphakia occurring after removal of lens is the commonest presentation. 3. Aphakia due to absorption of lens matter is noticed rarely after trauma in children."

Sometimes explantation of an IOL becomes necessary, which may be problematic. 4 During the 1980s many surgeons, because of such potential problems, chose not to implant IOLs in eyes with uveitis on the grounds of safety. Fuchs’ heterochromic uveitis (FHU) is a peculiar uveitis which many have perceived to behave less aggressively after cataract surgery. This view is not universally shared, 2 and a higher inflammation rate has been reported from IOL implantation during extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) 5 and in comparison with other forms of uveitis, in phakoemulsification surgery. 2 In the past some FHU eyes did not undergo primary IOL implantation but patients may subsequently request secondary IOL implantation, usually on the grounds of contact lens (CL) intolerance. The outcomes and problems of secondary IOL implantation have been reported. 6, 7, 8 However, there are no previous reports on the procedure in eyes with uveitis."

The most common type of IOL is the pseudophakic IOL. These are implanted during cataract surgery, after the cloudy eye's natural lens (colloquially called a cataract) has been removed. The pseudophakic IOL provides the same light focusing function as the natural crystalline lens. The second type of IOL, more commonly known as a phakic intraocular lens (PIOL), is a lens which is placed over the existing natural lens, and is used in refractive surgery to change the eye's optical power as a treatment for myopia, or nearsightedness. [ 1] IOLs usually consist of a small plastic lens with plastic side struts, called haptics, to hold the lens in place within the capsular bag inside the eye. [ 2] IOLs were conventionally made of an inflexible material ( PMMA ), although this has largely been superseded by the use of flexible materials. [ citation needed] Most IOLs fitted today are fixed monofocal lenses matched to distance vision. However, other types are available, such as multifocal IOLs which provide the patient with multiple-focused vision at far and reading distance, and adaptive IOLs which provide the patient with limited visual accommodation. Surgeons annually implant more than 6 million lenses. ["

In ophthalmology, lasers are used to photocoagulate, cut, remove, shrink, and stretch ocular tissues. New types of lasers and novel applications continue to be developed. This article will focus on the Nd: YAG laser and its role in the treatment of ophthalmic disorders. Laser is an acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. A laser contains material that releases photons. This process is amplified so the emitted photons are in phase and produce monochromatic coherent high intensity polarized light. The power is modulated by altering the energy or time (P = E/t). Q-switching and mode-locking refer to methods of increasing laser power by using shutters that synchronize the light phase, compressing output in time. The Nd: YAG laser is a solid state laser that uses a neodymium-doped yttrium-aluminum-garnet crystal as the lasing medium."

It causes a loss of accommodation, far sightedness ( hyperopia ), and a deep anterior chamber. Complications include detachment of the vitreous or retina, and glaucoma. Babies are rarely born with aphakia. Occurrence most often results from surgery to remove congenital cataract (clouding of the eye's lens, which can block light from entering the eye and focusing clearly). Congenital cataracts usually develop as a result of infection of the fetus or genetic reasons. It is often difficult to identify the exact cause of these cataracts, especially if only one eye is affected. People with aphakia have relatively small pupils and their pupils dilate to a lesser degree.

"text": "You are here: Home Health Library Corneal Edema Fuchs Corneal Endothelial Dystrophy and Corneal Edema Situated at the front of the eye, the cornea is the transparent dome overlying the colored iris of the eye. The cornea is composed of thin layers of tissue that allow light into the eye and focus the rays of light entering the eye. The cornea and the lens of the eye, a separate structure located just behind the iris, are responsible for creating a sharply focused image on the back of the eye so that we can see clearly. The cornea is responsible for roughly two-thirds of the focusing power of the eye, with the lens responsible for the remainder. Clarity of the cornea is essential for sharp vision. Clarity of the cornea is largely dependent upon two factors: regular arrangement of protein fibers of the cornea, and the constant removal of fluid from the cornea. The endothelium of the cornea is a single layer of cells along the inner surface of the cornea that continuously pumps fluid from the cornea, keeping the cornea clear. When these cells are injured, they cannot regenerate, and fluid will accumulate in the cornea, resulting in swelling (edema) of the cornea and progressive clouding of vision. Corneal edema can sometimes develop after eye surgery, especially after cataract surgery. Some terms for corneal edema after cataract surgery include “pseudophakic corneal edema,” “pseudophakic bullous keratopathy,” and “aphakic bullous keratopathy.”"

Tonight we’re discussing “How Aqueous Humor Flows. ”P: To start with, could you please explain how the blood-aqueous barrier (BAB) works and the effect that increased BAB permeability may have on IOP? Dr. Rick Wilson: The blood flows through the small blood vessels in the ciliary body. Those vessels are quite leaky. The serum that leaks out is pushed mostly by hydrostatic pressure across two layers of cells into the posterior chamber of the eye. There are other osmotic and active transport mechanisms, but the hydrostatic pressure mechanism is the main one. The blood-aqueous barrier prevents most proteins and other macromolecules from getting into the eye. If there is inflammation, the blood-aqueous barrier is lowered and serum proteins and white cells can get into the eye."

"text": "\"Look to Modifiers KX, EY for Keys to DME Reimbursement- Published on Mon, Nov 03, 2008Keep medical necessity distinct from patient preference in documentation. If you're providing refractive lenses for cataract surgery patients, you'll need to unravel your DME MAC's complex coding and billing rules to claim deserved Medicare reimbursement. The challenge: Ophthalmologists often describe durable medical equipment (DME) coding and billing as one of the most complex duties they perform. Coding for refractive lenses makes it even more complex, with the multitude of options available to patients combined with Medicare's strict coverage guidelines. Medicare will only pay for refractive lenses for aphakic beneficiaries (patients who are lacking the organic lens of the eye due to surgical removal, e.g., after cataract surgery, or who have congenital absence). Medicare covers one complete pair of glasses or contact lenses after each cataract surgery with insertion of an artificial intraocular lens, notes Joyce D. Ardrey, CPC, who led a seminar on billing for frames, lenses, and contact lenses at The Coding Institute's 2008 Optometry & Ophthalmology Coding and Reimbursement Conference. Most DME Medicare Administrative Contractors (DME MACs) specify that your claim for refractive lenses must be linked to one of these ICD-9 codes to prove medical necessity:• 379.31 -- Aphakia• 743.35 -- Congenital aphakia • V43.1 -- Organ or tissue replaced by other means; lens (pseudophakia). Append KX for Doctor-Ordered Extras The key to DME MAC reimbursement for refractive lens features is medical necessity, and this involves more than just choosing the right ICD-9 code. The standard benefit is a flat-top (FT) 25/28 bifocal or trifocal in plastic or glass, explains David Gibson, OD, FAAO, a practicing optometrist in Lubbock, Texas. If the patient or the doctor want more features, a modifier will be necessary on the claim."

In general, the terms are usually applied to the eye post cataract surgery. Given that there are over two million [1] cataract surgeries performed in the US each year, it is important to anticipate a possibility of postoperative glaucoma. However, there are multiple mechanisms, as well as combination of mechanisms, that can lead to increase in the eye pressure and thus a through evaluation of an eye is necessary. Etiology Aphakic glaucoma is referred to a condition that could follow congenital cataract surgery in children [2]. Pseudophakic glaucoma refers to the glaucoma following implantation of the lens with cataract surgery. Aphakia or pseudophakia themselves are not the direct causative conditions in the aphakic or pseudophakic patient presenting with glaucoma [3]. There are multiple mechanisms that could be working alone or in synergy, leading to glaucoma in patients with aphakia or pseudophakia. Refer to the sections below for potential mechanisms: Distortion of Anterior Chamber Angle Kirsch characterized the existence of an internal white ridge protruding into the anterior chamber as an inverted snowbank along the ridge of the corneal incision as seen by gonioscopy during and after cataract surgery. The mechanism of the ridge formation is still unclear with some suggesting distortion of the chamber by sutures and others suggesting edema of the corneal stroma to be the cause. The ridge formation is associated with peripheral anterior synechiae, vitreous adhesions and hyphema [4]. It appears that the presence of the ridge has a transient effect on the intraocular pressure, affecting the trabecular meshwork and the aqueous outflow in the eyes [5]. Distortion of anterior chamber angle applies to previous cataract surgery techniques that required much larger incision than today’s modern, small incision cataract surgery."

These may include asthenia, generalized muscle weakness, diplopia, blurred vision, ptosis, dysphagia, dysphonia, dysarthria, urinary incontinence, and breathing difficulties. These symptoms have been reported hours to weeks after injection. Swallowing and breathing difficulties can be life threatening and there have been reports of death. The risk of symptoms is probably greatest in children treated for spasticity but symptoms can also occur in adults treated for spasticity and other conditions, particularly in those patients who have underlying conditions that would predispose them to these symptoms. In unapproved uses, including spasticity in children and adults, and in approved indications, cases of spread of effect have occurred at doses comparable to those used to treat cervical dystonia and at lower doses. DESCRIPTIONBOTOX ® (onabotulinumtoxin A) for injection, is a sterile, vacuum-dried purified botulinum toxin type A, produced from fermentation of Hall strain Clostridium botulinum type A grown in a medium containing casein hydrolysate, glucose, and yeast extract, and intended for intramuscular and intradermal use. It is purified from the culture solution by dialysis and a series of acid precipitations to a complex consisting of the neurotoxin, and several accessory proteins. The complex is dissolved in sterile sodium chloride solution containing Albumin Human and is sterile filtered (0.2 microns) prior to filling and vacuum-drying. One Unit of BOTOX ® corresponds to the calculated median intraperitoneal lethal dose (LD 50) in mice."

Application developers code that links to existing APIs to make use of their functionality. This link is seamless and end-users of the application are generally unaware of using a separately developed API. During testing, a test harness-an application that links the API and methodically exercises its functionality-is constructed to simulate the use of the API by end-user applications. The interesting problems for testers are: 1. Ensuring that the test harness varies parameters of the API calls in ways that verify functionality and expose failures. This includes assigning common parameter values as well as exploring boundary conditions. 2."

Share Written By Steve Foreman October 14, 2013Topicsx API LMS Tin Can Experience API workflow learning (Editor’s Note: This is the last of five articles by Steve Foreman on learning management systems. ) How much longer will the LMS remain relevant? Learning is bursting out of the classroom and becoming informal, social, and mobile. How can learning be “managed” in settings where there are no class rosters and no registrations or completions to count? To many organizations, the future of learning management systems seems unclear. Steve Foreman’s five articles on LMSs: First article Second article Third article Fourth article Fifth article Of course, the LMS’s ability to track formal instruction is still important to many organizations, especially in areas such as compliance, safety, onboarding, and baseline skill development. But traditionally, LMS products have not been very useful in managing learning that happens in the workplace through activities such as coaching, knowledge sharing, professional networking, work assignments, and other work experiences. In this article, I’ll explore the Experience API (x API) and its potential to advance our ability to manage emerging learning models that seamlessly integrate learning with working. Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) standards: SCORM & x APIADL is a standards body that began as a joint project of the US Department of Defense and the Department of Labor, and with industry participation."

"text": "What is Application Performance Management? Today’s software applications can be unwieldy beasts. No matter whether you’re creating smartphone apps, service-oriented software, or online video games, you’re bound to be bitten by multiple components of your system architecture throughout any application development life cycle. The vast complexity that needs to be taken into account—involving everything from sluggish third-party CDNs to conflicting API connections—now requires developers, testers, and system administrators to work together in a way that’s more seamless and agile than ever before. Just a single weak link in the chain can negatively impact your application’s performance, instantly resulting in a slew of unhappy end-users downstream. In a business landscape where competition is fierce, the time between development and deployment is ever more compressed, and customer retention matters most, it pays to do everything in your power to ensure that your software delivers a steady baseline of performance, 24/7. This is particularly true of web-based applications, where consistent speed and uptime is expected, although frequently disrupted. And that’s where APM, or application performance management, comes in. So, What Exactly Is APMSimply put, application performance management is the art of managing the performance, availability, and user experience of software applications. APM monitors the speed at which transactions are performed both by end-users and by the systems and network infrastructure that support a software application, providing an end-to-end overview of potential bottlenecks and service interruptions."

MDM is a core component of enterprise mobility management ( EMM) which also includes mobile application management, identity and access management and enterprise file sync and share. The intent of MDM is to optimize the functionality and security of mobile devices within the enterprise while simultaneously protecting the corporate network.

How mobile device management works Mobile device management relies on endpoint software called an MDM agent and an MDM server that lives in a data center (either on premises or in the cloud). IT administrators configure policies through the MDM server's management console, and the server then pushes those policies over the air to the MDM agent on the device. The agent applies the policies to the device by communicating with application programming interfaces ( APIs) built directly into the device operating system. Similarly, IT administrators can deploy applications to managed devices through the MDM server."

SCORM, LMS, AMS, LCMS, API, JITT, what does it all mean?! Grab a spoon, and let’s dig in to the soup, with this e Learning glossary.e Learning -Also referred to as internet-based learning, web-based learning, and online learning is any training or education delivered via computer. For many, their first experience with e Learning was educational computer games delivered via CD Rom. Digitec, Instructional Designer, Jennifer Ritter wrote a blog about this recently explaining, “I now realize that I was raised with game-based learning. That’s where my brain goes when I hear “e Learning,” and I have fond memories of it. If a customer service agent has had to sit through dry lecture videos that were filmed ten years ago, which are now online, that may be their image of e Learning.” Thankfully, e Learning comes in many different forms from basic Power Point modules to learning games and simulations and beyond, giving users many options to support their unique learning objectives. AMS- An Association Management System or AMS is the association membership equivalent to a company’s Customer Relationship Management System (CRM). This is where an association stores data on their members and prospective members for tracking memberships, managing newsletter subscriptions, offering special gifts, sending invitations to events and workshops, and promoting discounts on products and services."

"text": "Introduction Pressure Safety Valve (PSV) is one of safety devices in oil and gas production facility, which ensure that pipes, valves, fittings, and pressure vessels can never be subjected to pressure higher than their design pressure. Therefore, the selection of PSV to be installed must be conducted in a careful and proper manner. These are the questions worth to be asked when you are going to specify details of PSV. What type of PSV we will have for our process requirements? Is there any easier way for PSV sizing (PSV calculation) rather than calculate it manually? What kind of material shall be chosen for our process requirements? Prior to the PSV selection, it would be better if we know how the PSV works which will lead us in understanding of critical parts of PSV. Then, the PSV selection process can be done with awareness of some strong points. Pressure Safety Valve by definition Cited from API 520 part 1 ( Sizing, Selection, and Installation of Pressure-Relieving Devices in Refineries; Sizing and Selection) about Safety Valve definition: “A safety valve is a spring loaded pressure relief valve actuated by the static pressure upstream of the valve and characterized by rapid opening or pop action. A safety valve is normally used with compressible fluids.”"

Absolute Path (also known as a full path)The complete location of a file or directory within a computer filesystem. An absolute path starts at the root directory (or drive letter) and continues up the directory hierarchy until the specific file or directory is reached. This contrasts with a relative path, which does not start at the root directory. The syntax of absolute paths differs by operating system. On Microsoft Windows, they begin with a drive letter and use a backslash to separate directory names. Absolute paths on mac OS and Linux lack drive letters and use a forward slash as the directory separator. Examples: Windows: C:\\Users\\Matt\\www\\blog\\images\\icecream.jpgmac OS: /Users/Matt/www/blog/images/icecream.jpg Linux: /home/Matt/www/blog/images/icecream.jpg To find the absolute filesystem path of the directory containing a web page, copy the code below into a new text file, save the file as path.php (thus making a simple PHP web page), and move that file to your web server.

SCORM tells programmers how to write their code so that it can “play well” with other e-learning software. It is the de facto industry standard for e-learning interoperability. Specifically, SCORM governs how online learning content and Learning Management Systems (LMSs) communicate with each other. SCORM does not speak to instructional design or any other pedagogical concern — it is purely a technical standard. Can you help me with an example or analogy? Let’s take DVDs for example. When you buy a new movie on DVD you don’t need to check to see if it works with your brand of DVD player. A regular DVD will play on a Toshiba the same as it will on a Panasonic."

Start Now at toptal.com4 Answers Jaryl Sim, Founder, CTO @ Tinkerbox Studio Answered Apr 12, 2015You might be asking about software architecture, or infrastructure software, but I'll explain a bit of both anyway. Software architecture Software architecture refers to the design of your application; at a lower level, we talk about how pieces of code interact with each other, and at a higher level we talk about how different components, modules or systems interact with each other. Typically though, we discuss software architecture at higher levels, such as using architectural patterns such as the popular Model View Controller (MVC) pattern, which gives us a common structure around where we put our code. Infrastructure Infrastructure refers to the underlying technology that your application runs on top of. Broadly speaking, infrastructure software refers to the software that enables network connectivity, server logic, databases, etc. A popular example of infrastructure is Amazon's cloud offerings, which allow developers to spin up computing, storage and other resources easily, and Amazon takes care of the hardware bit. Platforms Increasingly, platforms refer to the software, hardware, processes and people that empower a service, or suite of services."

Most of the Samsung included apps are so intertwined with each other that you remove one they all crash.#2Mar 28, 2015mercury0x000d The ultra-modern operator Rank: None Points: 313Posts: 1,665Joined: Nov 24, 2011If it helps, here's a list of everything I have left on the phone after a cursory debloating pass.

Think of an APK as Windows’ executable files, except for Android. It’s a way to install an application on your Android device, and has proven to be extremely useful so that you can skip the line and get a new update faster or even download an unreleased app. Hit the break to find out how you download an APK. There are many ways to find an APK, with the most popular option being through APK Mirror. Downloading APK files can be risky business, as you don’t necessarily know what the file contains; however, APK Mirror is probably the safest destination for download an APK. You can browse the site and download any APK you want. But, before we can install it, you’ll need to make sure that your phone has permission to install third-party apps. You can make sure this is checked under the “Security” tab within your Settings menu. Normally it’ll say allow third-party installations or install from unknown sources."

An APK file is an app created for Android, Google's mobile operating system. Some apps come pre-installed on Android devices, while other apps can be downloaded from Google Play. Apps downloaded from Google Play are automatically installed on your device, while those downloaded from other sources must be installed manually.

( 96 comments)As a custom Android tablet, Kindle Fire doesn't have Google Play but Amazon Store instead. Although we can get thousands of e-books in the Amazon Store, the lack of apps makes this built-in store very awkward. So can we install Google Play on the Kindle Fire? Generally speaking, this is impossible as Amazon has made some restriction on Kindle Fire that if you just simply install the Google Play APK file, it may not run successfully. But things will change if you root your Kindle Fire! In this article I'll tell you how to install Google Play on a rooted kindle Fire perfectly. It's easy and simple.

Smartphones are hailed as ‘smart’ because not only it does our works smartly, but save our time in a great manner too. SHAREit is such a file transferring application which saves your time with its lightning file transferring speed. Even a few years ago we had to rely on Infra Red and Bluetooth technology to transfer files from one device to another, which takes a lot of time. But with this app, file transferring is just a cakewalk these days. As an Android app, it is very easy to download SHAREit on Android phones. But in this article, we have discussed on how to download SHAREit for Windows PC and Mac. With Shareit, sharing has become easier than ever, considering the methods that were used before. The oldest method of sharing files between phones and computers have been Bluetooth and USB cables. Speed and loss of connection or unable to connect are two most annoying factors that people had had to deal with before applications like Shareit came along."

The All Inclusive Explanation Jim Farmer February 9, 2012Deodex Odex Show of hands, how many of you reading this have been browsing forums looking for ROMs only to come across a term completely foreign. Hey, it’s OK, I’ve been there too. In particular, the terms Odex and Deodex notoriously cause budding Android modders’ eyes to glaze over. So, what are they talking about? To better understand deodex, you first need to know about odex. Stock Android implements an odex file structure, with odex meaning “optimized” dalvik executable file. As your likely aware, Android apps on your device are packaged as .apk files. That all being said, what this means is that for pretty much all of your apks there is a corresponding odex file. This goes for the framework files in .jar format as well."

And why shouldn’t it be? Google’s massive repository of apps, games and all things digital is the biggest of its kind in the world, and for the most part you’ll find everything you need right there. But there are times when you need to install apps from outside the veritable Android flea market. Google doesn’t run as tight a ship as Apple when it comes to what’s sold in its store, but it still has its share of checks in place. Or maybe you want to install the older version of an app you already own because it worked better on your device. Here are some ways you can install apps on your Android device without the Play Store. Enable Unknown Sources App packages for Android are packaged in APK files, which can also be downloaded from outside the Play Store (such as through your web browser). Before attempting to install APK files, however, you must first allow your phone to install from “Unknown Sources” (i.e. non-Play Store apps). To do this, navigate to “Settings -> Security” and check the box marked “Unknown Sources,” then tap “OK’ and “Trust."

"text": "\"3 min read 28 11How to downgrade to older version of apps on Android Authored by: Mark Wilson Sep 7, 2014Updates to apps are usually a good thing, but there are times when this is not the case. The latest version of your favorite app might remove a feature you've grown attached to, or it could lead to a drop in performance. App Downer helps to roll back a version if you decide the older version of an app was better – you just need to be rooted. Find out how to downgrade Android apps to an earlier version here. What is an APK file? What is NFC? Now that you hate the latest version of an app, this app will be your savior./ © ANDROIDPITWhile it's easy to upgrade the apps on a Nexus 5, a Galaxy S4, or any other Android device, it's usually a one-way process. As standard, you only really have two options when you discover that an upgrade is not to your liking – uninstall the app completely, or learn to put up with it. But App Downer gives you the option of reverting to a previous version so you can banish an upgrade you don’t like. Upgrading apps is simple, but Android doesn’t make it easy to downgrade."

Pronounce Apollo [ 3 syll. a- pol - lo, ap -o- llo ] The baby boy name Apollo is pronounced as ah-P AO -Low (English) †.1: Apollo is largely used in the Italian language and its origin is Old Greek. It is derived from the element 'apollymi' meaning to destroy. Apollon (Old Greek), Apollonios (Old Greek), and Apollonius (Latin) are old forms of Apollo. The name is often taken to derive from Old Greek, but it could ultimately be of Indo-European origin. It is known from Apollo, son of Zeus and Leto, and twin brother of Artemis in Greek mythology. He was the god of healing, archery, poetry, beauty, and prophecy, and he was also later known as the god of light and the sun. The name Apollonia (English, German, and Polish) is the female equivalent of Apollo. Apollo has 12 variants that are used in English and other languages."

Snelling and David Rush on April 1, 1993Share: Originally published in Journal of Creation 7, no 1 (April 1993): 2-42. Abstract Using a figure published in 1960 of 14,300,000 tons per year as the meteoritic dust influx rate to the earth, creationists have argued that the thin dust layer on the moon’s surface indicates that the moon, and therefore the earth and solar system, are young. Furthermore, it is also often claimed that before the moon landings there was considerable fear that astronauts would sink into a very thick dust layer, but subsequently scientists have remained silent as to why the anticipated dust wasn’t there. An attempt is made here to thoroughly examine these arguments, and the counter arguments made by detractors, in the light of a sizable cross-section of the available literature on the subject. Of the techniques that have been used to measure the meteoritic dust influx rate, chemical analyses (of deep sea sediments and dust in polar ice), and satellite-borne detector measurements appear to be the most reliable. However, upon close examination the dust particles range in size from fractions of a micron in diameter and fractions of a microgram in mass up to millimetres and grams, whence they become part of the size and mass range of meteorites. Thus the different measurement techniques cover different size and mass ranges of particles, so that to obtain the most reliable estimate requires an integration of results from different techniques over the full range of particle masses and sizes. When this is done, most current estimates of the meteoritic dust influx rate to the earth fall in the range of 10,000-20,000 tons per year, although some suggest this rate could still be as much as up to 100,000 tons per year. Apart from the same satellite measurements, with a focusing factor of two applied so as to take into account differences in size and gravity between the earth and moon, two main techniques for estimating the lunar meteoritic dust influx have been trace element analyses of lunar soils, and the measuring and counting of microcraters produced by impacting micrometeorites on rock surfaces exposed on the lunar surface. Both these techniques rely on uniformitarian assumptions and dating techniques."

At first, I thought, well, the time should be approximately the same than from lift-off to lunar landing. But I preferred to check the data to make sure. Although the Earth-to-Moon travel time is almost the same for all 6 Apollo lunar landing missions, the trip back shows a very different picture, much to my surprise (see data below). Anybody has an explanation for this? I probably should know the answer (and maybe I do) but right now, I don't have a clue...

It is not so much a question of time as of spirit. After flowing straight for a while, most rivers take a sudden turn. Likewise, literature does not always follow the straight path; when it takes a turn, that turn must be called modern. We call it adhunik in Bengali. This modernity depends not upon time but upon temperament. The poetry to which I was introduced in my boyhood might have been classed as modern in those days. Poetry had taken a new turn, beginning from Robert Burns, and the same movement brought forth many other great poets, such as Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shelley, and Keats. The manners and customs of a society are shown in social usage. In countries where these social customs suppress all freedom and individual taste, man becomes a puppet, and his conduct conforms meticulously to social etiquette."

But when the big day rolled around, it was Mel Gibson's \"\"Braveheart\"\" that nabbed the top prize.

I currently run an independent NASA watchdog and research group, the Enterprise Mission, attempting to figure out how much of what NASA has found in the solar system over the past 50 years has actually been silently filed out of sight as classified material, and therefore totally unknown to the American people. My friend and colleague Mike Bara and I are going to attempt the impossible in the next few hundred pages: we’re going to try to describe, and then carefully document, exactly what’s been going with NASA in terms of that classified data and information. It won’t be an easy task. The predisposition of most Americans - even after the Challenger and Columbia disasters and a host of other “missing” spacecraft - is to place NASA somewhere on par with Mother Teresa in terms of public confidence and credibility. This is, in major part, due to the average American’s (to say nothing of the media’s) inability to figure out a reason why NASA - ostensibly a purely scientific Agency - would actually lie.

Uncovering details about the lunar core is critical for developing accurate models of the moon's formation. The data sheds light on the evolution of a lunar dynamo - a natural process by which our moon may have generated and maintained its own strong magnetic field. The team's findings suggest the moon possesses a solid, iron-rich inner core with a radius of nearly 150 miles and a fluid, primarily liquid-iron outer core with a radius of roughly 205 miles. Where it differs from Earth is a partially molten boundary layer around the core estimated to have a radius of nearly 300 miles. The research indicates the core contains a small percentage of light elements such as sulfur, echoing new seismology research on Earth that suggests the presence of light elements - such as sulfur and oxygen - in a layer around our own core.

Here’s More Proof They Weren’t Posted by Amy Shira Teitel on September 21, 2014Share: Twitter Facebook Google+ Reddit Email Science No matter how many videos, articles, or TV shows offer proof that we did in fact send men to the Moon in the 1960s, people still deny it ever happened. One of the conspiracy theorists’ favorite proofs that the Moon landings were faked is the images from Apollo 11. Well, graphics card maker NVIDIA is offering some interesting proof that the pictures are in fact real. NVIDIA just launched two new graphics cards, the Ge Force GTX 980 and GTX 970. Both these cards boast an uncanny ability to render extremely realistic, real-time, dynamic lighting, something the company calls Voxel Global Illumination. To show off the technology, NVIDIA took on three famous lighting cases from the Apollo 11 Moon landing. In creating a hyper-realistic model of some Apollo 11 images and consulting with experts, the company not only demonstrated the power of its new technology, it gave new and interesting proof that the Moon landings weren’t faked. So there are three main arguments hoaxers bring against pictures of Apollo 11. The first is why objects that are in the Lunar Module’s shadow are apparently illuminated, like Buzz Aldrin climbing down to the surface in this picture."

Reading the newspaper one morning, I was amused to learn about the Rube Goldberg “braking” system invented to control landing on Mars. A huge parachute is supposed to slow the craft despite an atmosphere only one percent of the earth’s, followed by freefall, then eight rocket engines ignite and lurch the craft out of the path of the trailing parachute somehow previously jettisoned, followed by a second freefall episode beginning at 66 feet altitude followed by a ‘sky crane’ lowering the rover as it unfurls its wheels, capped off by pyrotechnic charges that send blades to cut the nylon tethers. Oh my. The rationale for this dubious landing system? “ In theory, the rockets could provide a gentle enough landing to finish the job. But in practice, they would kick up such a dust storm that it could ruin the rover.” Ah yes, I agree the inevitable dust storm would be a big problem. Engineers must design around that. But why wasn’t a dust storm a formidable problem on July 20, 1969, the occasion of man’s “greatest technological achievement,” landing a man on the moon and returning him safely via Apollo 11?"

"text": "\"Home General Index Index of mythological subjects The Lyre Symbol The lyre as an attribute of Apollo, is well known, and the association of lyres and depictions of Apollo on Greek coins is common. The earliest Celtic gold staters are derived from the staters of Philip of Macedon and show, on the obverse, the head of Apollo. The design lasted, in abstract form, to the end of Celtic coinage in Britain. While the Macedonian coins did not have a lyre as part of the design, there are a number of depictions of Apollo in Gaul during the Roman period. He is shown nude, and with his lyre, but often these images are associated with healing springs. Some inscriptions refer to healing hot springs, and even today we have a famous mineral water containing the name of Apollo. Caesar informs us that the Celts, like other nations at the time, had the idea that Apollo averts illness. All of this gives weight to the opinion that lyres on Celtic coins are merely a reference to Apollo. That the lyre on its own seems to refer to Apollo as the god of music should alert us to a problem with this symbol, and possible references to health and healing springs are unlikely subjects to find on coins. Treating symbols in isolation, without taking the context in which they appear, or their substitution with other symbols in a particular coinage, can lead to a pastiche of interpretation where many gods and myths seem to be fighting for dominance even on a single coin."

"text": "\"Dog Skin Allergies If, like me, you've been coping with dog skin allergies, then you might be interested in how I finally managed to control my dog's allergies. Ava, a German Shepherd Dog, had a horrible time of itching and scratching that just got progressively worse. After many years of trying to treat the symptoms, I eventually found a solution that enabled her immune system to tolerate the substances that were causing the allergic reaction. At last! I was able to reduce the amount of treatment needed to control the symptoms. But, before I tell you how, and I will, let me share with you how Ava's allergies progressed and see if anything sounds familiar with your dog!The Progression.... Ava started experiencing symptoms of dog skin allergies when she was about a year old. At first she would just get really itchy ears, especially when she was hot. She would shake her head, scratch her ears and, when we really knew she was bothered by them, her ears would stick out to the side instead of straight up. Ava's ears to the side when infected Ava's ears when they are good We would take her to our veterinarians and I would have to do the ear drops for a certain amount of days, anywhere from 5-10, which would clear it up.....for a while. By the second year, and second season of hot weather, she was still bothered by her ears but now she had started to lick her paws constantly and scoot her butt."

"text": "What is Apoquel? Posted on February 18, 2014What is Apoquel? Apoquel is the trade name of a new drug called Oclacitinib, that has been found to be safe and effective in controlling acute (short term or sudden onset) and chronic (long term) itching in dogs. How does Apoquel work? The active ingredient (Oclacitinib) targets molecules called cytokines that are responsible for the inflammation and itching seen with allergic skin disease. By stopping these cytokines from working, the inflammation and itching is also reduced. Other cytokines in the body essential for blood cell production and immune system function, are spared from the effects of Apoquel. It is a completely different family of drug from those vets currently have access to for itchy dogs (steroids, antihistamines, immunotherapy, cyclosporines). How quickly does Apoquel work? The drug is reported as starting to work and give benefit to your dog within 4 hours of the first tablet."

"text": "\"Pets with allergies: An overview Licking, chewing, scratching, and rubbing as well as recurrent skin and ear infections and hot spots are common signs of allergies in pets. The areas commonly affected include the feet, belly, armpits, face, chin, ears, neck, rump, and thighs, and secondary infections are common in these areas. Other conditions including those caused by parasitic and infectious organisms may result in similar symptoms, so Dr. Buerger will need to understand your pet's medical history and perform a thorough dermatologic examination as well as a few basic tests to be certain that allergy is indeed the problem. Allergic symptoms can be year-round or they can be seasonal (during particular seasons) depending upon which allergies are present. Allergies usually begin between 6 months and 3 years of age, but may begin at any time. Retrievers, terriers, and shepherds are more likely to have problems with allergies than other breeds. The tendency to develop allergies runs in families (as in people). Unlike people pets with allergies seldom \"\"outgrow\"\" them, and their allergies commonly get worse and less responsive to treatments with each passing year. The symptoms of allergy can often be improved or controlled with one or more of the following: antihistamines, cortisone (i.e. prednisone) tablets, Apoquel® tablets, Atopica® capsules, Cytopoint® injections, frequent shampoos, flea preventatives, and in some instances restricted hypoallergenic diets. It's also important to maintain a clean and matt-free coat."

Atopic dermatitis is one of the most common causes of chronic itching in dogs. Atopic dermatitis is caused by an allergic reaction (hypersensitivity) to one or more substances in the environment. Various substances, called allergens, can trigger atopic dermatitis. They are often the same allergens implicated in human allergic conditions such as hayfever and asthma. What are the symptoms of atopic dermatitis? Dogs with atopic dermatitis are usually itchy. The face and feet may seem particularly irritated. The skin on some parts of the body may be reddened, moist, or damaged due to scratching or chewing. The ears may also be inflamed, and recurrent ear infections are quite common in these patients."

"text": "\"« 3.8 Billion Drug Company Fraud | Home | Why Pet Owners are Avoiding Veterinarians »Apoquel Alert: Serious Side Effects of New Dog Allergy Medication By Dr. Andrew Jones There is a NEW drug on the market to control itching in dogs from allergies, called Apoquel. It has been launched with much fanfare…from Zoetis.. FDA Approves APOQUEL® (oclacitinib tablet) to Control Itch and Inflammation in Allergic Dogs Zoetis Offers a Targeted New Approach to Rapidly and Safely Stop the Cycle of Itch and Inflammation Associated with Allergic Skin Disease in Dogs Atopic dermatitis is one of the most common allergies in dogs, affecting approximately 10 percent of the dog population. Itching caused by an allergic skin disease can be an acute, short-term condition or can be recurrent or chronic—all which can impact the quality of life for both the dog and its owner unless they are controlled with effective management. FDA approval of APOQUEL is based on results of two clinical trials conducted in the United States which showed that APOQUEL was effective in the treatment of pruritus associated with allergic dermatitis and for the control of atopic dermatitis. Sounds great, right? Having treated hundreds of dogs for allergies, it is MORE than welcoming to have a drug that works to STOP the itching without all the side effects of predisone. But be CAUTIOUSA small study of 299 dogs- 50% of the dogs took the placebo medication, and most dropped out of the study. 66% of dogs improved on the medication, but keep in mind that means 33% (1/3) didn’t at all. Side Effects Health events associated with the drug were difficult to compare between groups given the low number of dogs in the placebo group at the end of the study. The rate of adverse events overall was low (<5%) and included diarrhea, vomiting, and lethargy that resolved spontaneously in 90% of cases and did not require discontinuation of therapy."

You, as the apellant, are appealing against an earlier decision of the court or mandatory fine. If your appeal is upheld by the court/arbitrator, the original decision of the court/imposition of the fine is deemed to have been overturned and the ruling quashed. You don't have to pay the fine and any points added to your license, as a result of the original ruling, must be removed.

As the Supreme Court hears arguments about the individual mandate, a complete look at the history of similar constitutional decisions. Amid rampant speculation over the fate of Obamacare in the Supreme Court, a critical question has been missed: How will the justices decide whether to uphold or strike the individual mandate? The case the Supreme Court will hear is an appeal of an Eleventh Circuit decision holding the individual mandate unconstitutional under both the Commerce Clause and the Taxing and Spending Clause of the Constitution. The only potential positive for Obamacare in the ruling was the finding that the mandate is \"\"severable.\"\" Severability would allow the rest of Obamacare to stand even if the mandate falls. To date, four of 13 circuit courts have ruled on the individual mandate. The Sixth Circuit and D. C. Circuit upheld the individual mandate under the Commerce Clause. The Fourth Circuit dismissed a case on the rationale that the mandate's penalty for not buying insurance is a tax."

"text": "Mon, 2011-04-04 21:00 — Michael Dew Research articles : Negligence It has been said that “there are situations where the facts merely whisper negligence, but there are other circumstances where they shout it aloud” [1], and certainly no type of accident shouts negligence louder than a rear end accident. However, in the recent case of Singleton v. Morris, 2010 BCCA 48 the British Columbia Court of Appeal affirmed the trial judge’s finding [2] that Ms. Morris was not negligent despite having rear ended Ms. Singleton at the bottom of a steep hill after a sudden downpour on the Sunshine Coast. Ms. Morris’s explanation was that there was oil on the road which was invisible to her as she approached it, and that but for the oil she would have been able to stop in time to avoid the accident. That explanation succeeded and the case raises again the principles to be applied when considering unusual fact patterns that allow defendants to assert the no negligence defences of “inevitable accident” and “explanation”. This article reviews and compares the defences of explanation and inevitable accident, considers the evidentiary rules to be applied in cases involving circumstantial evidence. Distinguishing the defences of inevitable accident and explanation The defences of inevitable accident and explanation both involve defendants pointing to some factor apparently beyond their control as the cause of the accident, and arguing that the accident occurred without negligence on their part. Exculpatory factors range from the mundane (my brakes failed [3]) to the fantastical (a bird flew through my open window and hit me in the head [4] ). The defences of inevitable accident and explanation are similar, and sometimes confused [5], but can be distinguished on two grounds:1. Whether the source of the excuse relied on by the defendant is internal or external to the defendant and his or her vehicle.2. The evidentiary burden to be met by the defendant."

He retired from the bench in 1991 and passed away on January 24, 1993 in Washington DC at the age of 84.

Marshall was born on July 2, 1908 in Baltimore, Maryland to William Marshall, railroad porter, who later worked on the staff of Gibson Island Club, a white-only country club and Norma Williams, a school teacher. One of his great-grandfathers had been taken as a slave from the Congo to Maryland where he was eventually freed. Marshall graduated from Lincoln University in 1930 and applied to University of Maryland Law School – he was denied admission because the school was still segregated at that time. So Marshall matriculated to Howard University Law School where he graduated first in his class and met his mentor, Charles Hamilton Huston, with whom he enjoyed a lifelong friendship."

In the United States, discussion of obscenity revolves around what constitutes pornography and of censorship, but also raises issues of freedom of speech and of the press, otherwise protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Issues of obscenity arise at federal and state levels. The States have a direct interest in public morality and have responsibility in relation to criminal law matters, including the punishment for the production and sale of obscene materials. State laws operate only within the jurisdiction of each state, and there are a wide differences in such laws. The federal government is involved in the issue indirectly, by making it an offense to distribute obscene materials through the post, to broadcast it, [1] as well as in relation to importation of such materials. Most obscenity cases in the United States in the past century have revolved around images and films, but there have also been many cases that dealt with textual works as well, most infamously that of the 18th century novel Fanny Hill.

"text": "Can I appeal the decision in a civil matter?by Free Advice staff The question of whether a case outcome can be appealed depends primarily on the type of case and the court where the case was heard. Criminal cases have a Constitutional appeal by right, whereas some civil and administrative cases can not be appealed. When determining whether your case can be appealed, the first person you should consult is your trial attorney. If you did not have a trial attorney, schedule a consultation with an appellate attorney and, no matter what, meet with the attorney quickly, as you only have between 30 and 60 days to file a motion to appeal. Criminal Cases Under Constitutional law, anyone convicted in court for a crime may appeal the crime within 60 days of the verdict. In order to have the best chance at appealing the case, you should consult with a criminal appellate attorney as soon as possible. In order to have a criminal case appealed, you must prove that the court made a harmful or fundamental error in deciding your case. Examples of this type of error include admitting evidence that was gathered using unconstitutional means or giving the jury improper instructions. When these errors happen, the court will overturn the verdict and order a new trial. Civil Cases Civil cases are those involving private interests."

Argued January 17, 1995-Decided June 12, 1995Most federal agency contracts must contain a subcontractor compensation clause, which gives a prime contractor a financial incentive to hire subcontractors certified as small businesses controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals, and requires the contractor to presume that such individuals include minorities or any other individuals found to be disadvantaged by the Small Business Administration (SBA). The prime contractor under a federal highway construction contract containing such a clause awarded a subcontract to a company that was certified as a small disadvantaged business. The record does not reveal how the company obtained its certification, but it could have been by anyone of three routes: under one of two SBA programs-known as the 8 (a) and 8 (d) programs-or by a state agency under relevant Department of Transportation regulations. Petitioner Adarand Constructors, Inc., which submitted the low bid on the subcontract but was not a certified business, filed suit against respondent federal officials, claiming that the race-based presumptions used in subcontractor compensation clauses violate the equal protection component of the Fifth Amendment's Due Process Clause. The District Court granted respondents summary judgment. In affirming, the Court of Appeals assessed the constitutionality of the federal race-based action under a lenient standard, resembling intermediate scrutiny, which it determined was required by Fullilove v. Klutznick, 448 U. S. 448, and Metro Broadcasting, Inc. v. FCC, 497 U. S. 547. Held: The judgment is vacated, and the case is remanded."

Although the amendment contains several provisions, four elements protect a person accused of a crime: the right against compelled self-incrimination, the right to a grand jury, the right of protection against double jeopardy and the right to due process. SELF-INCRIMINATIONNo person accused of a crime may be compelled to be a witness against himself or herself. The Supreme Court has ruled that this applies to not only the trial but also police interrogations. Thus, a person in police custody may refuse to answer any questions relating to the crime that he or she is suspected of committing. Additionally, if the police want to question a suspect, they must first give him Miranda warnings. This rule applies only to custodial interrogation, which is when the police are interrogating the suspect while he or she is in custody. If both elements are not present, the police are not required to give Miranda warnings. An extensive line of Supreme Court cases addresses what “custody” and “interrogation” actually mean."

S. 47 (1919), was a United States Supreme Court decision that upheld the Espionage Act of 1917 and concluded that a defendant did not have a First Amendment right to express freedom of speech against the draft during World War I. Ultimately, the case established the \"\"clear and present danger\"\" test, which lasted until 1969 when protection for speech was raised in Brandenburg v. Ohio to \"\"Imminent lawless action\"\". Abrams v. U. S. (1919) was a 7-2 decision of the United States Supreme Court involving the 1918 Amendment to the Espionage Act of 1917, which made it a criminal offense to urge curtailment of production of the materials necessary to the war against Germany with intent to hinder the progress of the war. The 1918 Amendment is commonly referred to as if it were a separate Act, the Sedition Act of 1918. The defendants were charged and convicted for inciting resistance to the war effort and for urging curtailment of production of essential war material. They were sentenced to 20 years in prison. The Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that the Act did not violate the freedom of speech protected by the First Amendment. Justice John Hessin Clarke used a relatively restrictive speech test - \"\"bad tendency\"\" - to uphold the conviction. Justices Oliver Wendell Holmes and Louis Brandeis dissented and said that the more speech protective standard - \"\"clear and present danger\"\" - ought to be applied to overturn the conviction."

"text": "\"MARITAL MISCONDUCT© 1994 National Legal Research Group, Inc. Most states have taken the position, either through legislation or case law, that misconduct such as adultery should not be considered in deciding upon an equitable distribution of assets acquired during marriage. In these jurisdictions, however, some courts have nevertheless permitted consideration of marital fault that has adverse economic consequences. A minority of states have a statute that expressly authorizes consideration of marital fault, and an even smaller number of other states have interpreted the lack of a statutory prohibition to mean that marital fault is a permissible factor. But even in these jurisdictions, appeals courts have placed limits on the use of the fault factor and the weight accorded to it, so that misconduct becomes a permissible or important factor only if it had an adverse economic impact. Thus, differing views on marital fault seem to be slowly converging into a widely accepted notion that marital fault should be taken into account if and only if it has negative financial consequences. Part I of this article discusses fault that has economic consequences as a factor bearing on property distribution in jurisdictions that prohibit consideration of marital fault. Part II of this article highlights evolving limits on the fault factor in jurisdictions which permit consideration of fault. Part III reviews the courts' views on particular types of misconduct . I. States That Prohibit Consideration of Fault A majority of states have taken the position, either through legislation or case law, that marital fault other than economic misconduct should not be considered in deciding upon an equitable distribution of assets acquired during marriage. Consideration of marital misconduct is precluded by statute in jurisdictions that patterned their equitable distribution legislation upon the original draft of the Uniform Marriage and Divorce Act, which specifies that property division must be made \"\"without regard to marital misconduct.\"\""

As the city developed and expanded, large amounts of sand accumulated in the harbor, depriving Barron of the deep waters which had been the key to his successful business. He sued the city to recover a portion of his financial losses. Question Does the Fifth Amendment deny the states as well as the national government the right to take private property for public use without justly compensating the property's owner? Conclusion Decision: 7 votes for Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, 0 vote (s) against Legal provision: US Const Amend 5 No. The Court announced its decision in this case without even hearing the arguments of the City of Baltimore. Writing for the unanimous Court, Chief Justice Marshall found that the limitations on government articulated in the Fifth Amendment were specifically intended to limit the powers of the national government. Citing the intent of the framers and the development of the Bill of Rights as an exclusive check on the government in Washington D. C., Marshall argued that the Supreme Court had no jurisdiction in this case since the Fifth Amendment was not applicable to the states."

The basics In order for a person to be liable to capital gains tax on the sale of a property, they must either be resident or ordinarily resident in the UK (TCGA 1992, s2). The asset must be a chargeable asset, ie anything that is not an exempt asset. Exempt assets are usually wasting assets, such as cars that are likely to be disposed of at a loss. The disposal could be by way of a sale or gift, or by destruction. Death is not an occasion of charge for capital gains tax (TCGA 1992, s62) (although a loss in the year of death can be carried back to the three years prior to death). Personal representatives also have an annual exemption for the year of death and the two following years. A company is also a chargeable person (TCGA 1992, s8), but company gains are chargeable to corporation tax and the rules for computing the gain are slightly different, as companies can claim indexation allowance on their base costs. Gifts between husband and wife or between civil partners are treated as made at a value that incurs neither gain nor loss, provided that they have not separated and still live together (TCGA 1992, s58). Every individual has an annual exemption for capital gains tax."

It was adopted on December 15, 1791, as one of the ten amendments that constitute the Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights was originally proposed to assuage Anti-Federalist opposition to Constitutional ratification. Initially, the First Amendment applied only to laws enacted by the Congress, and many of its provisions were interpreted more narrowly than they are today. Beginning with Gitlow v. New York (1925), the Supreme Court applied the First Amendment to states—a process known as incorporation —through the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. In Everson v. Board of Education (1947), the Court drew on Thomas Jefferson 's correspondence to call for \"\"a wall of separation between church and State\"\", though the precise boundary of this separation remains in dispute. Speech rights were expanded significantly in a series of 20th and 21st-century court decisions which protected various forms of political speech, anonymous speech, campaign financing, pornography, and school speech; these rulings also defined a series of exceptions to First Amendment protections. The Supreme Court overturned English common law precedent to increase the burden of proof for defamation and libel suits, most notably in New York Times Co. v. Sullivan (1964)."

After quickening, however, common law was less clear as to whether abortion was considered a crime. In the United States, state legislatures did not passabortion statutes until the nineteenth century. After 1880, abortion was criminalized by statute in every state of the Union, owing in large measure to strong anti-abortion positions taken by the American Medical Association (AMA). Despite the illegality, many thousands of women everyyear sought abortions.

The oldest references are to be found in the Bible, where wine of Samaria, wine of Carmel, wine of Jezreel, [1] or wine of Helbon [2] are mentioned. This tradition of appellation continued throughout the Antiquity and the Middle Ages, though without any officially sanctioned rules.

Tempranillo is grown all over Spain, and has several regional names such as Tinto Fino, Tinto del Pais, and Ull de Llebre. It is the main grape variety used for Rioja, Ribera del Duero, and Navarra. The grape has a tendency to ripen early, and Tempranillo's name is likely derived from \"\"temprana,\"\" meaning \"\"early.\"\" While Tempranillo gives deep color and full body with aromas and flavors of strawberries, fresh tobacco, and leather, the grape also tends to be lower in acidity and alcohol. For this reason, Tempranillo is often blended with other red grapes such as Garnacha and even Cabernet Sauvignon. Tempranillo is usually highly oaked, making it excellent with grilled vegetables and meats. Serve Tempranillo with grilled peppers, onions, tomatoes, chicken, or beef.

Created in 1983, the appellation was based on a classification of the region's vineyards carried out in 1975 and has been the subject of several subsequent revisions. There are now 51 Grand Cru vineyards in Alsace, dotted along the lower slopes of the Vosges Mountains. Rangen in the south is separated from Steinklotz in the north by an almost unbroken 60 mile (96 km) belt of vines. Villages which have a Grand Cru in their parish regard it as a source of pride; a Grand Cru vineyard site will often have a large sign mounted on its slopes, proudly stating its name. An Alsace Grand Cru vineyard The terroir variation between the Grand Cru sites is as clear in their soils as it is in their wines. While the steep slopes of Rangen are famous for their volcanic formation and the rich, full-flavored wines they produce, the much gentler slopes of Steinklotz are rich in limestone and produce a more delicate style of wine with higher acidity. During the last ice age, the impact of glaciation on the Vosges Mountains and the Rhine Valley was significant. The glacial movement removed layers of overlying sandstone from the hard granite at the core of the region's geology, resulting in alternating outcrops of granite and sandstone. This is visible particularly in the more mountainous southern end of Alsace's wine country, in contrast to the limestone and marlstone of the lower-lying north, deposited during the Jurassic period."

Robert M. Parker, Jr. June 30, 2006As I've grown older I've developed an appreciation for wines that are immediately gratifying but that can also provide great satisfaction over several years. Which means that while I adore Bordeaux, and was fortunate enough to purchase vintages that are now reaching full maturity, I can no longer buy a young Bordeaux and wait 20 to 25 years for all the elements to come into perfect harmony. Today, the wine that I find myself turning to most often is Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Although Châteauneuf-du-Pape, from France's Rhône valley, may never possess the elegance and longevity of a great Bordeaux, the mystique and prestige of a wine from the famous vineyards of Burgundy or the perfume or rarity of a top-notch Barolo or Barbaresco, what it does offer is immediate gratification both intellectual and hedonistic in nature. Its wide array of aromas and flavors are reminiscent of a Provençal marketplace while its texture—rich and round, sumptuous and opulent—is virtually unmatched by most of the wines of the world. The best Châteauneuf-du-Papes are among the most natural expressions of grapes, place and vintage. Châteauneuf-du-Pape vineyards are farmed organically or biodynamically, and the region's abundant sunshine and frequent wind (called le mistral) practically preclude the need for treating the fields with herbicides or pesticides. The wines themselves are equally pure, their flavors rarely masked by aging in new oak. Of course, not all Châteauneuf-du-Pape is created equal."

"text": "Home Wine Varietals A-ZWine Varietals A-ZTypes of wine A-ZWhat’s on the label Wine “varietals” simply means wine made from a specific winegrape. Varietal wines in the United States are often named after the dominant grapes used in making the wine. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Noir, and Chenin Blanc are examples of grape varieties. When a wine bottle shows a varietal designation on the label (like Merlot) it means that the wine in the bottle is at least 75% that grape variety (at least 75% Merlot, for example). * Showing a varietal on the label tells the consumer what to expect from the flavor of the wine. That’s why learning about basic varietals in important. Wine labels in the U. S. often also give information on location like the Mondavi “Napa Valley” Cabernet Sauvignon shown here. This indicates that the Cabernet grapes in this wine were grown in the “Napa Valley” official wine region (Viticutural Area or appellation). Wines are not required to carry varietal designations and cannot legally do so if the wine is a blend where no varietal is dominant (more than 75%). This is often the case."

It grows in large bunches, but the berries are small to medium in size, with very thick skins."

"text": "\"French Wines classification The French system of designating and controlling the names of wines (as well as spirits and certain foodstuff) by their geographical origin is much admired and has been copied by many countries. The regulations, their implementation and adherence are administered by INAO (Institut National des Appellations d'Origine). INAO was created in 1935 to regulate and enforce quality specifications nationwide. The regulation is based on the idea that \"\"terroir\"\" is the main element in producing wines and as such has a deciding influence on the quality and typicity of them. Terroir has a wider meaning than soil. The term comprises many aspects such as e.g. the micro-climatic and soil conditions but includes also viti- and vinicultural conditions as regulated by INAO such as the grape varieties which can be grown in a certain area, the yield and many other aspects. Terroir thus becomes a combination of natural elements and regulated standards. The system has contributed enormously to raise and maintain the standards of French wines. However, it also has its drawbacks. It is inherently protective of a status once acquired and leaves no room for experimentation."

Many wine lovers were doubtless puzzled that I included Chenin Blanc in the first category. Certainly anyone whose knowledge of this chameleon of a white grape was based on the oceans of very ordinary Chenin Blanc from California or South Africa that was available then must have been very mystified indeed. But what earned and still earns Chenin Blanc its place with the greatest of grape varieties for me is its finest incarnation, as extraordinarily long-lived, uniquely-flavoured botrytised sweet wines in the Loire Valley. Chenin has been grown around the town of Angers on the Loire for centuries, perhaps for more than a millennium. Rabelais mentions it both as Chenin and by its common Loire synonym Pineau. The wine it produces is notably high in acidity, which can be quite useful in a warm climate but can verge on the painful in the Loire's coolest vintages. In fact the one brake on Loire Chenin's reputation has been the sometimes dire quality of Chenin produced when the grapes just haven't ripened sufficiently to coax the unique Chenin flavours of flowers, damp straw and honey into the resulting wine, leaving little but acid and sulphur in the bottle. Thanks to global warming, disastrous vintages are becoming a rarity in the Loire, and growers are, thank goodness, using less and less sulphur to stabilise these often off-dry to medium-sweet wines. A truly great Chenin Blanc is typically a Moelleux, the product of a hazy autumn on the schists of the Loire which encourages noble rot and results in a toasty golden wine that has all of the complexity of any botrytised wine but with the Chenin grapes' particular layers of molten honey and crisp, dancing acidity."

It is located north of Lyon, and covers parts of the north of the Rhône département of the Rhône-Alpes region and southern areas of the Saône-et-Loire département of Burgundy. While administratively considered part of the Burgundy wine region, the climate is closer to the Rhône and the wine is sufficiently individual in character to be considered separately from Burgundy and Rhône.

Launched in 2003, Black Box Wines was the first Premium boxed wine in America and the first brand to offer AVA-appellated varietals and vintage dating. Second, our grapes are harvested from world-class growing regions, including California’s acclaimed wine country and the lush vineyards of Argentina and Chile. Third, through a meticulous traditional winemaking process, Black Box Wines are crafted to be food-friendly and fruit-forward. And it’s this attention to detail that made us the number one Premium box wine in the country— with more than 50 gold medals and 29 Wine Enthusiast “Best Buy” awards. Do I need to refrigerate your red wines to keep them fresh after opening? No. Black Box reds stay just as fresh at room temperature. Oxidation, the chemical reaction that spoils wine, occurs in bottles because the wine is exposed to air. With Black Box, the wine is never exposed to oxygen, so oxidation does not start to take place for at least 6 weeks after opening."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Protected Geographical Status)navigation search Logo found on products with protected designation of origin according to EU law (French language version)Three European Union schemes of geographical indications and traditional specialties, known as protected designation of origin ( PDO ), protected geographical indication ( PGI ), and traditional specialities guaranteed ( TSG ), promote and protect names of quality agricultural products and foodstuffs. [ 1] Products registered under one of the three schemes may be marked with the logo for that scheme to help identify those products. The schemes are based on the legal framework provided by the EU Regulation No 1151/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 November 2012 on quality schemes for agricultural products and foodstuffs. [ 2] This regulation (enforced within the EU and being gradually expanded internationally via bilateral agreements between the EU and non-EU countries) ensures that only products genuinely originating in that region are allowed to be identified as such in commerce. The legislation first came into force in 1992. The purpose of the law is to protect the reputation of the regional foods, promote rural and agricultural activity, help producers obtain a premium price for their authentic products, and eliminate the unfair competition and misleading of consumers by non-genuine products, [3] which may be of inferior quality or of different flavour. These laws protect the names of wines, cheeses, hams, sausages, seafood, olives, olive oils, beers, balsamic vinegar, regional breads, fruits, raw meats and vegetables. Foods such as Gorgonzola, Parmigiano-Reggiano, feta, the Waterford blaas, [4] Herve cheese, Melton Mowbray pork pies, Piave cheese, Asiago cheese, camembert, Herefordshire cider, cognac, armagnac and champagne can only be labelled as such if they come from the designated region. To qualify as roquefort, for example, cheese must be made from milk of a certain breed of sheep, and matured in the natural caves near the town of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon in the Aveyron region of France, where it is colonised by the fungus Penicillium roqueforti that grows in these caves. [ 5]This system is similar to appellation systems used throughout the world, such as the appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) used in France, the denominazione di origine controllata (DOC) used in Italy, the denominação de origem controlada (DOC) used in Portugal, the denominación de origen (DO) system used in Spain and the Denumire de origine controlată (DOC) system used in Romania."

Rachel Signer November 4, 2015Recently, I tasted a funky, unfiltered and unsulfured Chenin Blanc from the Catalonia region of northeastern Spain. Chenin Blanc, as you may know, is native to northern France, not Spain, which created an interesting context for the wine. “ Whoa,” I said. “ That’s some really Bretty wine,” referring to a yeast called Brettanomyces that is often present in unsulfured wines. Bretty-ness, if you will, is considered a flaw by some wine drinkers, myself not included. A sales rep from Indie Wineries, which imports the wine, just shook his head. “"

"text": "\"Pinot Meunier, like Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris, is one of the many mutations of Pinot Noir. The name comes from the appearance of its leaf undersides and shoots, which look as though they've been dusted with flour (meunier is French for \"\"miller\"\"). It is also simply called Meunier, or sometimes Gris Meunier in France. In Germany, it is known as Müllerrebe (miller grape) and also Schwarzriesling. The home turf for meunier is the region of Champagne. Its value in this extreme Northerly appelation is that it buds later, yet ripens earlier than pinot noir. Pinot meunier therefore usually avoids early spring damage from frosts or coulure and also is normally harvested before autumn rains bring the danger of bunch rot. It can be more reliably productive than either pinot noir or chardonnay in this regard and yields of quality fruit frequently reach 6-8 tons per acre. As an indication of its significance, it dominates the Champagne district of Marne, where meunier is two-thirds of all plantings. Meunier makes up one-third of all Reims district vineyards and 26,000 acres, nearly 40% of overall vineyards in the entire Champagne appellation."

Researchers in the United States say the appendix produces and protects good germs for the gut by \"\"rebooting\"\" the digestive system. The team of immunologists at Duke University Medical Center say the human digestive system contains massive amounts of bacteria most of which are good and help the digestion of food. However the researchers say sometimes the bacteria die off or are purged from the intestines as in diseases such as cholera or dysentery. Related Stories Research pinpoints potential weak link in bacterial wall-building protein Research reveals how bacteria prepare sticky adhesion protein A tale of two CT scanners — one richer, one poorer According to the researchers, the appendix's job is to \"\"reboot\"\" the digestive system when that happens with the bacteria safely harbored in the appendix. Many doctors believe the appendix is a vestigial organ with no function and is no more than a blind ended tube connected to the cecum, from which it develops embryologically. The cecum is a pouch-like structure of the colon and the appendix is near the junction of the small intestine and the large intestine and has abundant infection-fighting lymphoid cells, which suggests it plays a role in the immune system. The most common diseases of the appendix (in humans) are appendicitis and carcinoid tumors. Appendix cancer accounts for about 1 in 200 of all gastrointestinal malignancies."

Experts don't know what the appendix does in the body, but most of the time it doesn't cause problems. Appendicitis is most common in people ages 10 to 30, but it can happen at any age. With treatment, most people recover quickly and don't have any further problems. But without treatment, the appendix may burst and cause infection throughout the belly. This can be very serious.

The pain can really start anywhere... even as just a generalized stomach ache, but if it's appendicitis, it'll eventually move towards that area. You may also feel nauseated on a whole and vomiting too (especially bile, which is greenish brown and looks almost like a pesto sauce). Any hospital will be able to tell you pretty immediately if it's your appendix or not. If they're in doubt, they can even do a CT scan or an ultrasound. If you don't want to go into the hospital, try pressing on the area where your appendix is. Is the pain worse when you press or when you let go? If it's worse when you take your hand off (\"\"rebounding pain\"\") then it's likely that it's appendicitis. Good luck and feel better!

That’s generally the long and short of conversations about the appendix. No mention of what it does… so let’s explore and answer the question, what exactly is the appendix and what does it do? The Appendix Described The appendix is a tube-shaped sac that’s attached to the large intestine. It exists in humans and a small number of other mammals, including the koala and apes. In medical terms, it’s referred to as ‘vermiform appendix’ for its thin, worm-like shape. For years, the appendix was dismissed as a lingering souvenir of our evolutionary past. Many scientists, including Charles Darwin, believed this small pouch protruding from the large intestine was a vestigial organ that once helped humans digest tree bark. Since tree bark is no longer part of the average human’s diet, it was presumed that the appendix no longer served a function. However, more recent research from the Duke University Medical Center suggests otherwise."

Acid reflux has a number of triggers, including spicy, oily, and fatty foods, citrus fruits and juices, chocolate, and many others.

The minerals and trace elements are potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, cholerine, sodium, sulfur, copper, iron, silicon and fluorine. Vitamins are: Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin A, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B6, Provitamin beta-carotene and Vitamin P. Apple cider vinegar has a potent supply of potassium which has become so widely acclaimed in the helping of various complaints including: running nose, excessive mucous formation, watery eyes, sinus and catarrhal troubles. Teeth decay and the splitting of finger nails are also signs of potassium deficiency which are remedied by taking apple cider vinegar. Potassium is essential for the normal growth of the body and for the replacement of worn-out tissues which depend upon the presence of this mineral. It is as important to the soft tissues, as calcium is to the bones and teeth and it also retards the hardening of the blood vessels. As potassium is so important in the healthy growth of a plant, animal and human, a deficiency of this mineral will produce such tendencies as callous formations on the soles of the feet, or the failure to replace worn-out tissues as observed in the loss of hair. Tests have proven that a soil deficient in this mineral-salt will produce anemic and undersized plants, however, when potassium is introduced into the soil the plant becomes sturdier and increases in height. This is also the case with animals, where potassium which was fed to livestock, in the form of cider vinegar, improved their appearance and stamina."

Improved Digestion Drinking apple cider vinegar in water can help to naturally improve your digestion. Take a tablespoon of ACV in a big glass of water around 15 minutes before a meal to stimulate digestive juices for better breakdown of your food. It’s important to use raw, unpasteurized apple cider vinegar with the mother for this and all of the other health benefits listed below. The mother is the cloudy strings of naturally occurring pectin and proteins that form during fermentation. Filtered and pasteurized vinegars will not have this and lack the enzymes and other nutritional properties in raw ACV that have such a positive effect on the digestive process. Real apple cider vinegar, like this organic version I use, contains valuable minerals and trace elements, LDL cholesterol-lowering pectin, fat burning acetic acid, anti-viral malic acid, live enzymes, amino acids and many other beneficial nutrients. When you drink apple cider vinegar regularly, ideally before each main meal, you digestion improves and you naturally begin assimilating more from your food.

The new Mac Book Pro has, as rumored, a programmable OLED touch bar substituting the function key row, called Touch Bar. There’s also a Touch ID sensor powered by a new Apple-designed T1 chip. Like its predecessor, the new Mac Book Pro comes in 13 and 15-inch flavors and each is available in Silver or Space Gray finish. The notebooks have a 2x larger trackpad with Force Touch haptic feedback (46 percent larger on the 13-inch Mac Book Pro and twice as large on the 15-inch Mac Book Pro) and are driven by Intel’s latest Skylake chips with faster graphics. The iconic glowing Apple logo on the lid is gone, however, like on the existing twelve-inch Mac Book. The 13-inch Mac Book Pro weighs in at three pounds, almost half a pound lighter than the previous generation. It’s seventeen percent thinner and has 25 percent less volume than the previous-generation Mac Book Pro. The 15-incher weighs in at 4 pounds, is fourteen percent thinner and has twenty percent less volume."

Replacing the Power Book G4, the Mac Book Pro was the second model to be announced during the Apple–Intel transition, after the i Mac. It is the high-end model of the Mac Book family and is currently available in 13- and 15-inch screen sizes. A 17-inch version was available between April 2006 and June 2012. The first generation Mac Book Pro appeared externally similar to the Power Book G4, but used Intel Core processors instead of Power PC G4 chips. The 15-inch model was introduced first, in January 2006; the 17-inch model followed in April. Both received several updates and Core 2 Duo processors later that year. The product's second iteration, known as the \"\"unibody\"\" model, has a casing made from a single piece of aluminum. It debuted in October 2008 in 13- and 15-inch screen sizes. In January 2009, the 17-inch model was updated with the same unibody design."

The most notable new chip is the first-ever Core i9 processor for notebooks. With six cores and 12 threads, Intel says the Core i9 is the highest-performance notebook processor it has ever designed. The H-series processor has a 2.9GHz base clock speed with a Turbo Boost frequency of up to 4.8GHz. Given the Core i9 is a 45W chip, it is appropriate for the high-end 15-inch Mac Book Pro and could be included in a refreshed version of the notebook as early as this year. Apple last updated the Mac Book Pro lineup with Kaby Lake processors at WWDC in June 2017, so a Core i9 model could debut at WWDC 2018 . Of note, while the Core i9 processor allows for systems with up to 32GB of RAM, this is unlikely to apply to the next Mac Book Pro, since low-power DDR4 RAM is still not supported. Back in 2016, Apple's marketing chief Phil Schiller said 32GB of standard DDR4 RAM would compromise battery life . The eighth-generation Core processor family also includes new quad-core Core i5 and Core i7 processors with base clock speeds between 2.3GHz and 2.7GHz and integrated Iris Plus graphics. These 28W chips, part of the U-series, are suitable for future 13-inch Mac Book Pro and Mac mini models."

According to a new com Score study, nearly 70 percent of Android smartphone users never connect to a Wi-Fi network, preferring to consume all of their Internet through their carrier's data connection. This is an extremely bad idea. It's a great way to bust your data cap and raise your monthly bill. It overloads cellular networks, potentially causing slow connections for everyone. And especially if you're on Verizon or Sprint 3G, Wi-Fi can be much faster - even public Wi-Fi. It's safe to say that if you are at home, you have a home Wi-Fi network and you're not connecting your phone to your Wi-Fi network, you are doing it wrong."

In isolation, the data is interesting as it gives us an idea of the cost structure of stores and facilities being developed to sustain its current business model. In aggregate, it provides insight into Apple’s strategic intent. To complete the picture, I will look at the third asset: “Machinery, equipment and internal use software.” It’s the yellow line in the chart below: It’s plain to see at first glance that it’s the most significant asset. What does it represent and what conclusions can we draw about Apple’s strategy? Before I begin, I should make clear what this asset represents and what it does not represent.

Our goal is obviously to jailbreak i Pad (unlock i Pad's file system) so that anyone can develope all kinds of apps, system tweaks, fixes etc. Since i Pad uses the same OS as i Phone, jailbreaking i Pad can most likely be achieved using the exact same exploits used on i Phone.i Pad Jailbreak Solution is Probably Named Limera1n News (April, 26th): limera1n.com has been registered by geohot - this is probably the name of his i Pad jailbreak/unlocking tool.

"text": "\"i Phone X Review & Newsi Phone X review: The best damn product Apple has ever made Living review of Apple's all-new i Phone X. Rene Ritchie12 Feb 2018310For over a decade, i Phone has embodied modern mobile computing. i Phone 8, launched last month, is the culmination of that Home-button-and-bezel vision, of everything that's come before. i Phone X (pronounced \"\"Ten\"\"), launching now, is something else entirely — the beginning of what comes next. The two phones have many things in common, including the A11 Bionic processor inside, inductive charging on the back, along with Portrait Mode and Portrait Lighting on the rear camera system. Both are water resistant, have the same high-speed wireless radios, and 64 GB and 256 GB storage options. What i Phone X doesn't have — aside from a gold color option — is a Home button, Touch ID, and bezels. Apple has deleted all of them. And, in their place, created new, gesture-based navigation, Face ID, and the True Depth camera system. The result is a display that goes edge-to-rounded-edge, wrapped in a design that harkens back to the original i Phone while still looking like something straight out of sci-fi. Starting at $999."

Kuo said the Mac Book Pro will be \"\"the most significantly redesigned product this year\"\" with desktop-class RAM to appeal to high-end users, but thus far, even at the end of 2017, no such machine has materialized, nor have we heard additional rumors about it. A report from Digi Times suggests Apple has no plans to make major upgrades to the Mac Book Pro in 2018, but it does not, of course, rule out minor refreshes to internal components like the processor and the GPU. This should not come as a surprise as the Mac Book Pro last received a major design update in late 2016, and design refreshes typically only happen every few years. A future version of the Mac Book Pro could include an upgraded ARM-based chip to work alongside the Intel processor in the notebook and handle some \"\"Power Nap\"\" low-power mode functionality. The current Mac Book Pro has an ARM-based T1 chip that powers the Touch Bar, but this new version is expected to take on additional power management capabilities. According to Bloomberg, Apple is working on \"\"at least three updated Mac models\"\" that include custom co-processors for release as soon as 2018."

Moment of Inertia is a measure of a body’s resistance to angular acceleration (twisting). In golf, MOI comes most into play on imperfect contact, when the ball and the clubface meet someplace other than the sweet spot. But the simplest way to illustrate the concept is to put golf aside for a moment, and consider a weightlifter like Stick Man, below. In the sketch on the left below, Stick Man has the weights on the bar close to his body. He will find it relatively easy to twist the bar on his shoulders, because the MOI of the bar is relatively low. The Stick Man on the right will find it more difficult to twist the bar back and forth. The bar weighs the same, but because the weights are spread apart to the end of the bar, the bar has a high MOI – in other words, it resists twisting. That’s all we mean by MOI."

Now known as Mac OS, the newest variant comes equipped with features inspired by the i OS mobile software or designed to help Macs work better with i OS products, adding further incentive to keep your hardware inside Apple's walled garden, which includes the i Phone, Apple Watch and Mac computers. ( Read the full Mac OS Sierra review here . ) In November 2016, the company refreshed its lineup of 13- and 15-inch Mac Book Pros. Considerably slimmer, faster and pricier than its predecessors, the new models feature some innovative flourishes -- most notably, Apple's dynamic Touch Bar. There's also a less expensive 13-inch model without the Touch Bar. The common theme among the Mac OS Sierra release and the new Mac Book models is a greater emphasis on usability and productivity, rather than performance per se. Exhibit A: the Touch Bar, a mini display that runs along the top of the keyboard that provides different icons and options for different apps. Sliders, hot keys and function buttons emerge on the fly as needed. In addition to leveraging the Touch Bar, the newest version of Sierra (release 12.10.1), for the first time integrates Apple's voice-enabled assistant, Siri, with the Mac operating system."

"text": "i Phone 8: What We Know So Far By Maxwell Barna in Tech Aug 10, 2017 0 Comments Share Tweet Email Comments The countdown to the release of the i Phone 8 is well and truly on, and we thought you might like a handy place to catch all of the latest rumors and news surrounding Apple’s 10th anniversary device. We’ll be updating this page between now and drop day, so be sure to head here for the latest news. Latest Update: i OS developer Steven Troughton Smith has tweeted that he found “API evidence” that the i Phone 8’s display will hold a hold button that could be resized or even hidden. Scroll down to the “Design” sections for more information. The future of Apple may change drastically after the i Phone 8 release date, and it’s no secret that their dev and design teams are grinding away to ensure the i Phone 8 doesn’t, well, suck as much as the i Phone 7. Right now, the rumor mill is a-circulatin’ about the i Phone 8 release date, specs, special features, price and design elements, and rather than leave it all to speculation, I decided to put all the best rumors right here in the open. Before you continue reading, it’s important to clarify that these are all still rumors. While they’re popular rumors backed up by more than a little speculation, and while I did my due diligence in trying to find rumors backed up by some semblance of evidence (or research other than baseless conjecture), they’re rumors, nonetheless. We have roughly eight months before we see the unveil of Apple’s new i Phone, but these are the things the tech world is buzzing about:i Phone 8 Release Date Gavin Ash UPDATE, August 9, 2017: It was previously reported that the i Phone 8 would most likely miss its September launch date due to problems with its Touch ID feature, but now Apple itself has announced that the i Phone 8 will be released alongside the 7s and 7s Plus models this September. Unfortunately, as Engadget point out, a rushed release date likely means that fewer phones will be available at the launch and until the end of 2018."

Program Description and Eligibility What is the Extended Military Benefits Program (\"\"EMBP\"\")? The EMBP was established in 2001 as a voluntary benefit for City employees in the military reserves. It was created to ease, as much as reasonably possible, any financial disruption for City employees and their families which may be caused by long-term military duty connected with the events of September 11, 2001. On July 7, 2008, Governor Paterson signed legislation that amended Section 242 of the New York State Military Law by adding a new subdivision 5-a, titled the Public Servant Soldier Salary Act. The EMBP was accordingly modified. Key changes to the program are summarized below: Extended Military Benefits Program – Full Pay/Repayment Plan (\"\"EMBP – FP/RP\"\"): The Public Servant Soldier Salary Act changes the repayment terms under the initial EMBP plan (the plan effective prior to November 5, 2008) where employees received their full City salary and were required to repay the lesser of their military pay or City salary. The repayment terms were modified from 10% of an employee’s salary over five years to 7.5% of an employee’s salary over ten years. All debt has been reduced by an administrative adjustment of 15%. The Extended Military Benefits Program promulgated by the City from October 2001 until November 4, 2008, was a \"\"full pay/repayment plan\"\" program."

Almost all apps and software installed in the computer before the upgrade are there. VLC works perfectly with Windows 10. But the thing is, the upgrade changes the default media players from VLC to some other Windows app. All the music files are handled by Groove Music and the default video player is the Movies & TV app. A lot of us want to switch back to VLC to make it the default media player. It is really good especially for videos. If you want to do it then we can simply set it as the default video and music player app. The option available in the main Settings > System > Default apps gives us the ability to change it back.

They can not be installed using traditional installation techniques; a complete new technique is used to install a Windows Store app. One big difference compared to an installation of a desktop app (desktop application) is that no separate setup program / self-extractor need to be deployed with the setup package. In fact, it is not even possible to do that. Instead, you create a \"\"passive\"\" package that contains all necessary files to run the app, and that you submit to Windows Store. Users will download your app from the Windows Store as an app package, and Windows will use the information in the app package to install the app. Windows also handles the uninstallation of the app and make sure that all traces of the app are gone from the device after uninstallation.

Calculator, Calendar, Mail, Camera, Cortana, Contact Support, File & TV, Get Started, Groove Music, Maps, News, One Note, People, Photos, and Phone Companion are some of the apps that ship with Windows 10. While it’s true that most of these apps were part of the previous version of Windows as well and were not impressive, all these apps have been updated with better UI and features. Some of these apps like Mail, Calendar, Calculator and Voice Recorder are really helpful, but not all users are going to use these default apps. That said, uninstalling these default apps is not a good idea, especially if you hope to free up some disk space. Some of these apps are under 1 MB, in fact, uninstalling all these apps will probably free up around 100 MB of disk space. Moreover, if you want to uninstall one or more default apps in Windows 10, it’s not possible to do so via the Control Panel or Settings app. As with the case of traditional Windows programs like Paint and Notepad, with default settings, Windows 10 doesn’t allow you uninstall or remove these default apps. The Apps and features section of Settings app doesn’t show Uninstall option when you click on a default app. Uninstall or remove default apps using Power Shell To uninstall a default or pre-installed app in Windows 10, you need to execute a simple command."

A bunch of unwanted software could bog down your machine and make it sluggish, and a cluttered desktop will do exactly the same thing to your mind. But cleaning up isn't always easy; sometimes applications will leave unwanted traces behind, sometimes they'll have gone bad and refuse to uninstall, and sometimes they're things that Microsoft is certain you'll like to such an extent that they make them absolutely impossible to remove. Or, at least, that's the theory. Come with us and check out 10 ways you can cleanly uninstall apps, batch remove old software, excise items that won't uninstall, and even erase pre-installed Windows components for good. The Windows Control panel is usually your first port of call when you need to uninstall a program, but it's not always enough1. The traditional way If you've been around Windows for any significant length of time, you'll be familiar with the usual methods for software removal. You can fire up a dedicated uninstaller, which you might find in a program's Start menu folder, its folder on the drive, or as a shortcut on your desktop. More regularly, you'll head to the Control Panel and remove software from the Programs and Features section, which (usually) fires up the uninstaller for your software. This does everything from one handy place, with the added benefit of allowing you to see what's installed and sort it by frequency of use or age."

"text": "\"How to: Install a Deployment Package Using the deploy.cmd File Created by Visual Studio. NET Framework 4.5When you create a web deployment package in Visual Studio, Visual Studio creates a .cmd file that you can use to install the package. This .cmd file contains the actual Web Deploy commands that install the package. The .cmd file is provided in order to make command-line installation syntax easier for you, because the Web Deploy commands can be long and complex. Before you start the .cmd file, make sure that the destination server is set up correctly. If the destination is a remote server, make sure that you have an appropriate connection to the remote server and that you have appropriate permissions on the remote server. When you start the .cmd file, you can pass options to it that the .cmd file in turn passes to Web Deploy. This topic explains the syntax that you use to invoke the .cmd file. It provides an overview of prerequisites for invoking the .cmd file, and it provides links to other resources for more detailed setup information. Choosing an Installation Method This section provides an overview of the options for installing the package locally or remotely, followed by server configuration procedures for each option."

"text": "\"How to remove all bundled apps in Windows 10Ever since Windows 8, Microsoft has shipped a set of Modern apps with the OS which are not really suitable for use with the mouse and keyboard. When you first sign in, Windows installs those apps for your user account. Windows 10, the successor to Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, comes with Universal apps bundled as well. Also, even if you uninstall them from your user account, many of them keep coming back as the OS gets updated and they are copied again to your user account from the system account. If you have no use for Modern apps, here is how to remove all bundled apps in Windows 10. RECOMMENDED: Click here to fix Windows errors and optimize system performance In Windows 8, Microsoft offered Modern/Metro apps and slowly started phasing out development of classic desktop apps. For example, you could use a Modern app to view images, but you could still continue to use the classic desktop version of Photo Viewer. It was the same situation for Windows Media Player which got replaced by Music and Video apps and so on. For some other cases, Microsoft left no classic alternative. Games and Windows Mail etc were removed completely and their place was taken by Modern apps only."

In the probe mode, darts are fired from the TASER ® into the subject causing neuromuscular disruption. This disruption of the muscles generally puts the subject into an uncontrolled fall which leads to a secondary impact with the ground, floor, or some other fixed object. It is more likely that a person will suffer an injury as a result of this secondary impact than they will from the electronic impulse itself. There are numerous cases cited by the news media involving subjects being on the receiving end of a TASER ® deployment while positioned in an elevated position. Some of the more memorable cases include the New York City case where a subject was standing on a fire escape approximately ten feet off the ground. The subject died as a result of the fall and the officer who ordered the use of the TASER ® committed suicide. [ i]There are also numerous cases where subjects fleeing on foot or on bicycles suffer serious injuries as the result of secondary impact when subjected to a TASER ® deployment in the probe mode. Cockrell v. City of Cincinnati [ii] provides an example of the use of a TASER ® in the probe mode while a subject is fleeing. The trial court reported the facts as follows:“On July 3, 2008, Plaintiff was visiting with his girlfriend, Miranda Jones, at 4010 President Drive, an apartment unit in the Fay Apartment complex in Cincinnati, Ohio."

Any fresh fruit you see during the winter months have been imported from either South America or New Zealand. Relatives to peaches, apricots are small, golden orange fruits, with velvety skin and flesh, not too juicy but definitely smooth and sweet.

Here's how to make your own home canned fruit juice (some call it fruit cider, but it isn't fermented, so I don't think that really applies), complete instructions in easy steps and completely illustrated. The peach, nectarine, plum, pluot or apricot juice will taste MUCH better than anything you've ever had from a store, and by selecting the right peaches, nectarines, plums, pluots or apricots, it will be so naturally-sweet that you won't need to add any sugar at all. Prepared this way, the jars have a shelf life of 18 months to 2 years, and require no special attention. Directions for Making Peach, Nectarine, Plum, Pluot or Apricot Juice Ingredients Peaches, Nectarines, Plums, Pluots or Apricots (see step 1)Equipmentthe largest pot you have Jar grabber (to pick up the hot jars)Lid lifter (has a magnet to pick the lids out of the boiling water where you sanitize them.

"text": "\"Whip Graftingby kamalhyder in gardening Download 11 Steps Share Favorite I Made it!Collection Grafting is one of the oldest methods of plant propagation and is standard practice today for various types of fruit trees. Whip grafting is an easy technique for the beginner, and has yielded good results for me with apples, apricots, plums and cherries. There are several other grafting techniques - bud grafting, cleft grafting, and bark grafting being some of the common ones. Why is grafting important for the home orchardist? This is a useful technique for people with small backyards. Instead of a tree bearing a large quantity of the same variety of fruit at once, you can spread the harvesting season (since different varieties ripen at different times) and harvest multiple varieties of fruits, with different flavors, shapes and sizes. Over a few years, I have been able to graft nine to twelve varieties on each of my apple, plum, peach and apricot trees. Some fruit trees cannot reliably be grown from seeds, because the seeds do not retain the characteristics of the parent plant. Grafting allows us to grow the identical fruit. By using the appropriate “rootstock,” one can control the size and growth of the tree, and also select rootstock that’s suitable for the given soil conditions."

Pear Trees That Do Not Need Cross-Pollinators Gardeners who want to grow fruit trees that produce an edible harvest may have to plant at least two trees of different varieties close to each other so the plants can cross-pollinate. Pollination occurs via wind, birds and beneficial insects. However, some types of fruit trees are self-fruitful and do not need to reproduce with other plants. Citrus Most citrus trees grown indoors or outdoors are self-fruitful, including oranges, grapefruit, kumquats, lemons and limes. However, some mandarin orange varieties produce more fruit with cross-pollination, but those fruits may have more seeds than those that self-pollinate. Plants that grow from seeds of cross-pollinated citrus might not bear fruit. Cherries Sweet cherries all require cross-pollination, except for the “Stella” variety. All sour cherries are self-fruitful."

Although diabetic patients can include fruits in their diet, but there are some factors that the patients need to keep in mind when choosing a fruit, the most important being the glycemic index. WHAT IS GLYCEMIC INDEX? Glycemic Index is a number which tells us about the effect of food on a person’s blood sugar level. The Glycemic Index has a scale from 0 to 100, where 100 is pure glucose. Low GI foods do not raise blood sugar level to a considerable extent like high GI foods do. So, fruits containing low GI are highly preferable. Roughly,-GI value below 50 is considered low.-GI value between 50 ‐60 is considered average.-GI value above 60 is high.-Here are the GI scores of some of the commonly available fruits: black jamun (25), cherries (20), pear (38), apple (39), orange (40), plum (40), strawberry (41), peach (42), guava (32)LOW GI FRUITS THAT ARE IDEAL FOR DIABETICS:1 .

Volume Counts One plum has 30 calories, while one dried plum -- a prune -- has 23 calories. At face value, it may look like prunes make the better choice.

Their skin is soft and velvety and ranges from a pale yellow-orange to a rich tangerine color - occasionally with a sun-kissed pale blush, while the flesh usually is a vibrant shade of orange. Fresh apricots have a plentiful supply of vitamin C, beta-carotene, and fiber and are available from Kingsburg Orchards from May until August. Our Velvet™ Series Apricots are IS Apricots, or Inter-Specific Apricots. This means that they are in the Apricot family, but have been pollinated by plums. The first Velvet we developed was our Black Velvet™ Apricot. We were at once enamored with its honey-sweet golden flesh and striking velvety black skin. Our customers were disappointed with its limited 2-3 week availability each year, so we set to work seeing what other sister varieties we could propagate. We soon had enough varieties to have a Velvet available from May to the beginning of August. Each one has its own unique flavor and skin color, and is only available for a short period each summer - so if they're available in your area, be sure to try them all!But what exactly is an Aprium?"

Doctor Kanematsu Sugiura, Sloan-Kettering Cancer Institute\"\"Having established his own experience and the state of cancer research in the United States at the time of his employment at Sloan-Kettering, Dr. Moss then begins to weave the tale of one of the biggest medical cover-ups the world of cancer research had ever seen. He introduces the major players with deftness and an objectivity often reserved for fiction, which is an impressive accomplishment in a book with this subject matter. Moss goes through great pains to explain how each prominent doctor or scientist or politician or hospital board member came to play a role in the story of laetrile. One such person who stands out is Dr. Kanematsu Sugiura, who was deemed a “Living National Treasure” for his medical body of work. He was renowned for his legendary patience, which Moss says included running one experiment that called on him to inject mice with laetrile every day, seven days a week for two-and-a-half years. Dr. Sugiura never missed a single day. \"\" The Suppression Of Laetrile At Sloan-Kettering Institute For Cancer Research By Doctor Ralph W. Moss Ph D\"\"Doctor Sugiura explained in an interview with Moss how his laetrile experiments were working at the time. In one example, he said that a breed of mice that gets cancer in 80 to 85% of studies was only showing a 20% cancer rate when treated with laetrile. Dr. Sugiura then pondered, “It would be interesting if it prevented it completely."

The basic ingredients duck sauce are quite common, and it's usually made with dried plums, dried apricots, vinegar, sugar, and a few spices.

In fact, when the sauce is used as an ingredient in some recipes, it will often be listed as by one of it's fruity names. What makes duck sauce match so well with many Chinese dishes is the sweet and sour flavor combination. Many Chinese dishes use portions of chicken or fish that are deep-fried. Using a fork or chop sticks, a bite-sized piece can be dunked in the sauce before it is eaten. The result is a sweet and sour taste that is combined with the satisfying crunch of the fried batter."

Having said that,you can extract it form apple/apricot seeds. Apple/apricot seeds don't contain the harmful version of cyanide (hydrogen cyanide) in and of themselves. However they contain amygdalin, which can be metabolized to hydrogen cyanide. Apple seeds contain about 1 to 4 mg amygdalin per gram seeds (pretty less). Using Apricot seeds is good idea.process:collect apricot seeds during the right season, the amygdalin content varies though the year and can be as high as 5% of the dry weight of the seed. It is probably advantagenous to break the husk with a nut cracker, a plier, etc."

"text": "Botanical name: Prunus domestica x prunus armeniaca The pluot (Prunus domestica x prunus armeniaca) is essentially a newcomer in the world of fruits, only having been introduced in the 1980s. This fruit was initially discovered and produced by Floyd Zaiger, who cross-pollinated the plum and the apricot plant. This led to the invention of the pluot, which should not be interchanged with other plum-apricot hybrids. There are numerous varieties of plum-apricot varieties, but pluots should not be mistaken for plumcots and apriums. These hybrids differ through their varying plum-apricot ratios. Some hybrids have a 50:50 ratio of plum and apricot genes, while some have higher percentages of either of the two fruits. While it is easy for people to assume that pluots are a product of genetic manipulation and gene modification, pluots were actually produced quite organically. Zaiger used hand-pollination, and no chemical or genetic intervention. 1What Is a Pluot? Pluots are hybrids of the plum and the apricots, summer fruits that have been part of the human diet since the early times."

"text": "\"Home »Chemistry What Does Soluble Mean in Science? By Doug Leenhouts; Updated April 24, 2017When scientists claim that a substance is soluble, they mean that it can be dissolved, most commonly in water. For example, sodium chloride (ordinary table salt) is soluble in water. Solvents and Solutes In order for a material to be dissolved, there must be a solvent to dissolve it. The solvent in a solution is greater in quantity than the solute. When it is added to the solvent, the solute will have its molecular bonds broken before combining with the solvent. Concentration A solvent can only dissolve so much solute. A solution is unsaturated if you can keep dissolving more solute, whereas it is saturated when the solvent can dissolve no more solute. A supersaturated solution can exist when the solution is heated up to dissolve more solute, increasing the solubility of the solute, then lowering the temperature of the solution.

It will give you both the current rate and current value of your Savings Bonds. Although Series EE Savings Bonds have a reputation of being an easily understood investment, few investors actually understand how they work. In part, this is because the Treasury has regularly changed the rules for calculating EE bond interest. Understanding rate periods Moreover, you can’t understand Savings Bond interest rate rules unless you understand Savings Bond rate periods. Every Savings Bond has a series of six-month rate periods that begin with the month in which the bond is issued. Today’s Savings Bonds pay interest for 30 years, so they have 60 rate periods. What’s confusing is that the Treasury announces new interest rates for Savings Bonds in May and November, but the announced rates don’t apply to a specific Saving Bond until its next rate period begins, which is zero (for bonds purchased in May or November) to five (for bonds purchased in April or October) months later. Series EE Savings Bonds issued since May 2005Since May 2005, newly issued Series EE Savings Bonds have come with interest rates that are fixed for 20 years – they pay the same rate for each of their first 40 rate periods. However, when one of these bonds reaches its 20th anniversary, the Treasury has the right to change the fixed rate for the final ten years of the bond’s life."

"text": "Greek Surnames [Google Ads Articles Top]Greek surnames are complicated for most foreigners; not to mention how weird they sound!The origins of Greek surnames, roots and etymology vary a lot; in fact you can find some very typical Greek last names, or very common ones, while others are funny, bizarre or even insulting. In Greece every period has its own characteristics in name giving or surname creation. It is historically known that ancient Greeks did not have official last names, but they did have some patronymic characteristic; i.e. Achilles was Achilles Pileidis (from his father Pileas). The surnames as we know them today appeared towards the end of the 15th century. Roots and Origins of the Greek Surnames The vast majority of Greek surnames are known to be patronymics; this means that Greek surnames usually come from the genitive of the first name of the father of the family. Of course you have to go back a few centuries to find who started the tradition, but that is how it goes. So if someone’s last name is Demetriou, that means that the surname came from a man named Demetrios. This was actually an innovation in Grammar, because in their initial form the surnames for women were just a feminine respective of the original masculine name. This means that the wife or daughter of a man named Bouboulis would be named Bouboulina. It is interesting that the position of women throughout history has been associated with the use of surnames as well; until a few years ago women were obliged to substitute their surname with the one of their husband- later, they were able to keep both surnames, and today, they are free to choose whether they want to keep their surname or add the one of their husband as well (complete substitution is prohibited)."

My husband and I would like some feedback on our favorite boy name before we throw it to the wolves (our mothers): We’d like to give our son a timeless and masculine name that is neither too trendy nor too weird. The initials RW are essentially set in stone due to a family tradition for boys. For now, our first choice is ROLAND WESTLEY1) We kept coming back to Roland, because it's an anagram of the name Ronald, which is the name of both of our fathers. We think Ronald is too 1940s, but it would be really great to be able to honor them in some way with the baby’s first name. 2) Roland is a big name for a baby/little boy, but it has lots of potential for nicknames, including Rollo (my fave), Ro, Rollie, or even Ron like our dads. 3) Westley is close to the more common Wesley, but my husband and I have a how-we-got-together story about the book the Princess Bride, so we went ahead and stuck that T in there… Yeah, it’s a bit weird, but we figure that’s okay for a middle name. WHAT DOES ROLAND BRING TO MIND? To me, Roland is strong and intelligent, but I've never met a Roland, and I'm afraid it's kind of weird. IS IT?"

She was taken. Seventeen-year-old Pierce knows what happens to us when we die. That’s how she met John Hayden, the mysterious stranger who’s made returning to normal life—or at least life as Pierce knew it before the accident—next to impossible. Though she thought she escaped him—starting a new school in a whole new place—it turns out she was wrong. He finds her. What does John want from her? Pierce thinks she knows… just like she knows he’s no guardian angel, and his dark world isn’t exactly heaven. But she can’t stay away from him, either, especially since he’s always there when she least expects it, but exactly when she needs him most. But if she lets herself fall any further, she might find herself back in the place she fears the most."

"text": "\"De Nysschen: Cadillac ATS & CTS “Will Disappear”, XTS “Will Not Be Replaced”, Cadillac Will Exit Livery Market By Ronnie Schreiber on April 6, 2015Tweet In just a few years these nameplates will disappear from Cadillac showrooms It got a little buried in the rush of news out of the New York Auto Show, but GMInside News reports that at the private introduction of the Cadillac CT6 last week, the night before the NYIAS media preview, Cadillac head Johan de Nysschen confirmed that the existence of the CT6 flagship will make the current XTS large sedan superfluous. That seems to have been a foregone conclusion, but somewhat surprisingly de Nysschen also said that when the time comes to replace the CTS and ATS models, not only will those nameplates die as the brand moves to the CTx nomenclature, the new cars won’t be direct replacements. De Nysschen also announced that with the exit of the XTS, Cadillac will be leaving the livery business. It’s rumored that both of the smaller sedans will be somewhat downsized, positioning what will presumably be called the CT2 against the compact Mercedes-Benz CLA while the CTS’ replacement, the CT4, will move slightly downmarket to give more room for the CT6, while leaving space above that car for something range topping should Cadillac truly dare greatly and build something like the Elmiraj or Ciel concepts. Concerning Cadillac’s bread and butter sedans, GMInside News quotes de Nysschen as saying, “As we move into the future refining our sedan portfolio, there will be no direct successor to the CTS. There will be no direct successor to the ATS. There is no point to renaming those cars because in the future those cars will disappear. ”Also disappearing from Cadillac’s lineup will be the XTS. Based on a platform that compromised both proportions and interior space, many saw the XTS as a stopgap product to give the brand something upmarket from the CTS. Assuming a normal product lifecycle, the XTS would likely have been replaced for the 2019 model year, but de Nysschen said that’s not going to happen. “"

"text": "\"What Does a Poem's Central Theme Mean? Kate Prudchenko The central theme of a poem represents its controlling idea. This idea is crafted and developed throughout the poem and can be identified by assessing the poem’s rhythm, setting, tone, mood, diction and, occasionally, title. The theme is rarely stated explicitly, and it is not a moral but an important idea that is prevalent throughout the poem. Feeling the Poem’s Central Theme Poetry has certain rhythms, just like musical compositions and songs, and these rhythms convey a certain feeling. If a poem is read out loud, the person hearing the poem will get an inkling of the poem’s theme from the feeling that it evokes. This feeling will appear even before the person is fully away of what the poem means using a more analytical and cognitive approach to interpreting the poem. How a Poem Conveys Meaning The poem’s central theme is contained in the subject matter of the poem. In other words, it is the abstract idea of what the poem is saying about life.

"text": "APY vs. APR: What’s The Difference? October 01, 2015Share Links to non-Ally websites Annual percentage rate (APR) and annual percentage yield (APY) can be two confusing financial concepts, but understanding the difference can help you make better, more informed financial decisions. When you compare APR vs. APY, you should know that when people talk about saving money, they commonly use the term APR when referring to the periodic interest rate the bank pays you. That’s actually not quite correct. What Is APR? When someone talks about APR in relation to saving, what they really mean is the “periodic rate” or simply “the rate.” It’s important to note that APR is a term that applies to loans. It’s the amount of money that the lender charges you for borrowing money, and it doesn’t take into account how the interest is applied to your balance: APR = periodic rate x the number of periods in a year. To understand how APR works with loans, let’s look at an example. If your loan has an APR of 8.28% you might be paying a periodic rate of 8.28% applied to your balance once (at the end of one year) or it could mean a periodic rate of 0.69% applied to your loan balance monthly (8.28% divided by 12 months)—and that’s precisely why understanding APR vs. APY is important."

"text": "Certificates of deposit might not seem like a good place to keep your money when interest rates are low, but they do offer security and stability. They’re covered by FDIC or NCUA insurance, and you can’t lose money unless you cash out before the CD matures and incur an early withdrawal penalty. Many CDs also pay better interest rates than many savings accounts, helping you to better keep up with inflation or even outpace it. If you’re looking for safety, here are six strategies that will help you earn as much interest as possible from CDs even when rates are at rock bottom. Laddering To create a CD ladder, you purchase CDs that mature at regular intervals. The first might mature after one year, the second after two years, the third after three years, the fourth after four years and the fifth after five years. The benefit of staggering your CDs’ maturity dates is that if interest rates rise, you’ll be able to get a new CD at a higher interest rate without waiting too long for one of your CDs to mature or incurring early withdrawal penalties. As each CD in your ladder matures, you reinvest it in a new five-year CD (or whatever the longest term in your ladder is). For more on this topic, see How To Create A Laddered CD Portfolio. By contrast, if you purchase only five-year CDs to get the highest available interest rate, and a year later rates go up, you’re either stuck earning a lower rate on all your money for the next four years or you’ll have to pay an early withdrawal penalty, which might negate the additional interest you’d earn from purchasing a new CD at a higher rate."

Along the way, we’re going to get into the ideas of APR and APY and how they affect you. Interest Accrued Annually Most of the time, we deal with interest that accrues annually. This is the way most people seem to think about interest – it’s easy to understand and works in most situations. Let’s stop for a moment and talk about what accrue means. When interest accrues, it means that the bank calculates how much interest you owe (or are owed) and applies that to your balance. For example, let’s say you had a $100,000 debt with a 12% interest rate. If the interest is accrued annually, the calculation is really easy. You just multiply the amount – $100,000 – by the interest rate – 12% (which you’d type into a calculator as 0.12) – and that gives you $12,000 in new interest, giving you a new balance of $112,000."

"text": "Understanding Interest Rate and APYComments (33) Post a Comment POSTED BY Debbie Dragon Understanding the different terms used to describe interest rates can be confusing at first. Generally you will see the term interest rate mentioned, along with APR or APY, so what’s the difference? Using APR and APY calculations to compare various investments and the real cost of a purchase requires that you understand what each of these terms mean, and how interest is calculated and compounded. Interest rate The “interest rate is the simplest term to understand. It simply means the amount of interest that will be paid on an investment you make; or the amount charged on a loan per year. It may seem that this is all you need to know and when looking at deposit products that pay simple interest, it pretty much is. Interest rates get slightly more confusing to calculate and make sense of when there is compounding involved. Simple Interest Simple interest is just that and is typically used with savings bonds. It means if you invest $1,000 at 5% interest, at the end of the year you will receive a $50 check. At the end of next year you will receive another $50 check."

"text": "\"The average interest rate for savings accounts is about 0.17 percent APY. But some banks are more generous than others. ( i Stockphoto)If your plan for 2015 is to improve your finances, one way to start is by going back to the basics and examining your savings account. In a time when interest rates are beginning to tick upward and fees are a bigger concern than ever, ensuring you have the right savings account should be the foundation for any financial plan. Choosing a Savings Account in 2015CEB’s Consumer Financial Monitor, which analyzes financial behaviors and trends, found only 7 percent of U. S. consumers opened a short-term savings product in 2014, which leaves the majority of bank customers seemingly content with their current savings account – if they even have one. Yet \"\"saving money\"\" tops the list of the most popular financial resolutions for 2015; if Americans are going to meet their savings goals this year, they need to be proactive about finding the best bank for their savings. There are quite a few factors to consider before choosing a savings account, from minimum deposit requirements to interest rates and fees. But the reality is that many customers are settling. For example, the average savings account rate in the U. S. currently lingers around 0.17 percent APY, according to GOBanking Rate data. But if you do some searching, you can find rates 10 times as high."

"text": "A limited service bank is a type of banking location that offers only a portion of the total financial services provided by the main operation or larger branches of the banking corporation. Banks of this type are sometimes located in or near residential areas and provide a roster of the more common banking services to serve clients, while still offering a wider range of services at branches that are considered full-service. A slightly different type of limited service bank is a banking corporation that offers only a select range of financial services at any of its branches. As the term relates to the establishment of smaller and more specialized branches, a limited service bank is usually a branch that provides basic services such as the ability to make deposits and withdrawals from established bank accounts. In some cases, this limited branch may provide drive-up services only, or be limited to strictly walk-in traffic. With this application, services such as the ability to apply for a loan or establish new accounts cannot be managed at the limited service bank, but can be conducted at a full service branch that is located elsewhere in the city. When limited service bank is used to identify the scope of services provided by a banking corporation, the term usually indicates that the corporation will only offer certain services to its clientele. For example, if a bank does offer checking and savings accounts along with loan services, but does not offer credit card services or investment services to its clients, it may be classed as a limited service bank. In some cases, this type of banking enterprise may partner with other firms that offer those additional services, allowing customers to access them with relative ease, courtesy of the affiliate agreement that exists between the financial entities. When this sort of arrangement is in place, customers can often receive discounts on those additional services, owing to their established relationship with the limited service bank."

Learning Objectives Describe the physical and chemical properties of halogens. Key Takeaways Key Points Halogens are nonmetals in group 17 (or VII) of the periodic table. Down the group, atom size increases. As a diatomic molecule, fluorine has the weakest bond due to repulsion between electrons of the small atoms. Due to increased strength of Van der Waals forces down the group, the boiling points of halogens increase. Therefore, the physical state of the elements down the group changes from gaseous fluorine to solid iodine. Due to their high effective nuclear charge, halogens are highly electronegative. Therefore, they are highly reactive and can gain an electron through reaction with other elements. Halogens can be harmful or lethal to biological organisms in sufficient quantities."

Several theoretical frameworks provide alternative conceptions of the reaction mechanisms and their application in solving related problems; these are called the acid–base theories, for example, Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory. Their importance becomes apparent in analyzing acid–base reactions for gaseous or liquid species, or when acid or base character may be somewhat less apparent. The first of these concepts was provided by the French chemist Antoine Lavoisier, around 1776.

Since Lavoisier's knowledge of strong acids was mainly restricted to oxoacids, such as HNO 3 (nitric acid) and H 2SO 4 (sulfuric acid), which tend to contain central atoms in high oxidation states surrounded by oxygen, and since he was not aware of the true composition of the hydrohalic acids ( HF, HCl, HBr, and HI ), he defined acids in terms of their containing oxygen, which in fact he named from Greek words meaning \"\"acid-former\"\" (from the Greek οξυς ( oxys) meaning \"\"acid\"\" or \"\"sharp\"\" and γεινομαι ( geinomai) meaning \"\"engender\"\"). The Lavoisier definition was held as absolute truth for over 30 years, until the 1810 article and subsequent lectures by Sir Humphry Davy in which he proved the lack of oxygen in H 2S, H 2Te, and the hydrohalic acids. However, Davy failed to develop a new theory, concluding that \"\"acidity does not depend upon any particular elementary substance, but upon peculiar arrangement of various substances\"\". [ 2] One notable modification of oxygen theory was provided by Berzelius, who stated that acids are oxides of nonmetals while bases are oxides of metals. Liebig's hydrogen theory of acids [ edit]In 1838, Justus von Liebig proposed that an acid is a hydrogen-containing substance in which the hydrogen could be replaced by a metal. ["

Students who are enrolled in analytical chemistry courses will find these sections especially valuable. Please note that this lesson assumes that you have a basic understanding of chemical equilibria, equilibrium constants, and the Le Châtelier principle. If you need to review these topics, please see Sections 1-4 of the Chemical Equilibrium lesson set.1 Some important solubility systems In this section, we discuss solubility equilibria that relate to some very commonly-encountered anions of metallic salts. These are especially pertinent to the kinds of separations that most college students are required to carry out (and understand!) in their first-year laboratory courses. Solubility of oxides and hydroxides Metallic oxides and hydroxides both form solutions containing OH – ions. For example, the solubilities of the [sparingly soluble] oxide and hydroxide of magnesium are represented by Mg (OH) 2 (s) → Mg 2+ + 2 OH – (10)Mg O (S) + H 2 O → Mg 2+ + 2 OH – (11)If you write out the solubility product expressions for these two reactions, you will see that they are identical in form and value. Recall that p H = –log 10 [H + ], so that [H + ] = 10 –p H. See here for a review of p H and the p H scale. One might naïvely expect that the dissolution of an oxide such as Mg O would yield as one of its products the oxide ion O 2+."

The name oxygen comes from the Greek stems oxys , \"\"acid,\"\" and gennan, \"\"to form or generate.\"\" Thus, oxygen literally means \"\"acid former.\"\" This name was introduced by Lavoisier, who noticed that compounds rich in oxygen, such as SO 2 and P 4 O 10 , dissolve in water to give acids. The electron configuration of an oxygen atom [He] 2 s 2 2 p 4 suggests that neutral oxygen atoms can achieve an octet of valence electrons by sharing two pairs of electrons to form an O=O double bond, as shown in the figure below. According to this Lewis structure, all of the electrons in the O 2 molecule are paired. The compound should therefore be diamagnetic it should be repelled by a magnetic field. Experimentally, O 2 is found to be paramagnetic it is attracted to a magnetic field. This can be explained by assuming that there are two unpaired electrons in the * antibonding molecular orbitals of the O 2 molecule."

"text": "\"Acid-Base Chemistry Waterp HDefinitions of acids and bases Salts Acid-Base Character Acid-Base Titrations Water We typically talk about acid-base reactions in aqueous-phase environments -- that is, in the presence of water. The most fundamental acid-base reaction is the dissociation of water: In this reaction, water breaks apart to form a hydrogen ion (H +) and a hydroxyl ion (OH - ). In pure water, we can define a special equilibrium constant (K w) as follows: Where K w is the equilibrium constant for water (unitless) [H +] is the molar concentration of hydrogen [OH - is the molar concentration of hydroxide An equilibrium constant less than one (1) suggests that the reaction prefers to stay on the side of the reactants -- in this case, water likes to stay as water. Because water hardly ionizes, it is a very poor conductor of electricity.p HWhat is of interest in this reading, however, is the acid-base nature of a substance like water. Water actually behaves both like an acid and a base. The acidity or basicity of a substance is defined most typically by the p H value, defined as below: At equilibrium, the concentration of H + is 10 -7, so we can calculate the p H of water at equilbrium as:p H = -log [H + ]= -log [10 -7] = 7Solutions with a p H of seven (7) are said to be neutral, while those with p H values below seven (7) are defined as acidic and those above p H of seven (7) as being basic.p OH gives us another way to measure the acidity of a solution. It is just the opposite of p H. A high p OH means the solution is acidic while a low p OH means the solution is basic.p OH = -log [OH -]p H + p OH = 14.00Definitions of acids and bases Arrheniusacid: generates [H +] in solution base: generates [OH -] in solution normal Arrhenius equation: acid + base <---> salt + water example: HCl + Na OH <---> Na Cl + H 2 OBronsted-Lowery:acid: anything that donates a [H +] (proton donor) base: anything that accepts a [H +] (proton acceptor) normal Bronsted-Lowery equation: acid + base <---> acid + base example: HNO 2 + H 2 O <---> NO 2- + H 3 O + Each acid has a conjugate base and each base has a conjugate acid. These conjugate pairs only differ by a proton. In this example: HNO 2 is the acid, H 2 O is the base, NO 2- is the conj. base, and H 3 O + is the conj."

For the algebraic object called a \"\"soluble group\"\", see Solvable group. Solubility is the property of a solid, liquid, or gaseous chemical substance called solute to dissolve in a solid, liquid, or gaseous solvent. The solubility of a substance fundamentally depends on the physical and chemical properties of the solute and solvent as well as on temperature, pressure and the p H of the solution. The extent of the solubility of a substance in a specific solvent is measured as the saturation concentration, where adding more solute does not increase the concentration of the solution and begins to precipitate the excess amount of solute. Most often, the solvent is a liquid, which can be a pure substance or a mixture. One may also speak of solid solution, but rarely of solution in a gas (see vapor–liquid equilibrium instead). Under certain conditions, the equilibrium solubility can be exceeded to give a so-called supersaturated solution, which is metastable. [ 1] Metastability of crystals can also lead to apparent differences in the amount of a chemical that dissolves depending on its crystalline form or particle size. A supersaturated solution generally crystallises when 'seed' crystals are introduced and rapid equilibration occurs."

Let us begin with 1.00 M A. •At t = 0 (time zero) there is 1.00 M A and no B present. •At t = 20 sec, there is 0.54 M A and 0.46 M B. •At t = 40 sec, there is 0.30 M A and 0.70 M B. •We can use this information to find the average rate with respect to B: \"\" (Conc B) (Conc of B at t = 20 s ) !

Processes involved in acid deposition (note that only SO 2 and NO x play a significant role in acid rain). Acid clouds can grow on SO 2 emissions from refineries, as seen here in Curaçao. Acid rain is a rain or any other form of precipitation that is unusually acidic, meaning that it has elevated levels of hydrogen ions (low p H ). It can have harmful effects on plants, aquatic animals and infrastructure. Acid rain is caused by emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, which react with the water molecules in the atmosphere to produce acids. Some governments have made efforts since the 1970s to reduce the release of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide into the atmosphere with positive results. Nitrogen oxides can also be produced naturally by lightning strikes, and sulfur dioxide is produced by volcanic eruptions. Acid rain has been shown to have adverse impacts on forests, freshwaters and soils, killing insect and aquatic life-forms, causing paint to peel, corrosion of steel structures such as bridges, and weathering of stone buildings and statues as well as having impacts on human health.

"text": "\"4.3 Ionic Equations: A Closer Look Learning Objectives Write ionic equations for chemical reactions between ionic compounds. Write net ionic equations for chemical reactions between ionic compounds. For single-replacement and double-replacement reactions, many of the reactions included ionic compounds: compounds between metals and nonmetals or compounds that contained recognizable polyatomic ions. Now we take a closer look at reactions that include ionic compounds. One important aspect about ionic compounds that differs from molecular compounds has to do with dissolving in a liquid, such as water. When molecular compounds, such as sugar, dissolve in water, the individual molecules drift apart from each other. When ionic compounds dissolve, the ions physically separate from each other. We can use a chemical equation to represent this process—for example, with Na Cl: Na Cl (s)H 2 O→ Na + (aq) + Cl − (aq)When Na Cl dissolves in water, the ions separate and go their own way in solution; the ions are now written with their respective charges, and the (aq) phase label emphasizes that they are dissolved ( Figure 4.3 \"\"Ionic Solutions\"\" ). This process is called dissociation; we say that the ions dissociate. Figure 4.3 Ionic Solutions When an ionic compound dissociates in water, water molecules surround each ion and separate it from the rest of the solid."

"text": "\"13.4 Effects of Temperature and Pressure on Solubility Learning Objective To understand the relationship among temperature, pressure, and solubility. Experimentally it is found that the solubility of most compounds depends strongly on temperature and, if a gas, on pressure as well. As we shall see, the ability to manipulate the solubility by changing the temperature and pressure has several important consequences. Effect of Temperature on the Solubility of Solids Figure 13.9 \"\"Solubilities of Several Inorganic and Organic Solids in Water as a Function of Temperature\"\" shows plots of the solubilities of several organic and inorganic compounds in water as a function of temperature. Although the solubility of a solid generally increases with increasing temperature, there is no simple relationship between the structure of a substance and the temperature dependence of its solubility. Many compounds (such as glucose and CH 3 CO 2 Na) exhibit a dramatic increase in solubility with increasing temperature. Others (such as Na Cl and K 2 SO 4) exhibit little variation, and still others (such as Li 2 SO 4) become less soluble with increasing temperature. Figure 13.9 Solubilities of Several Inorganic and Organic Solids in Water as a Function of Temperature Solubility may increase or decrease with temperature; the magnitude of this temperature dependence varies widely among compounds. Notice in particular the curves for NH 4 NO 3 and Ca Cl 2. The dissolution of ammonium nitrate in water is endothermic (Δ H soln = +25.7 k J/mol), whereas the dissolution of calcium chloride is exothermic (Δ H soln = −68.2 k J/mol), yet Figure 13.9 \"\"Solubilities of Several Inorganic and Organic Solids in Water as a Function of Temperature\"\" shows that the solubility of both compounds increases sharply with increasing temperature."

The FDA defines Process Validation as a means established by objective evidence, a process that consistently produces a result, or product meeting its predetermined specifications. The Global Harmonization Task Force (GHTF) defines process validation as a term used in the medical device industry to indicate that a process has been put to such scrutiny that the result of the process (a product, a service or other outcome) can be practically guaranteed.

One must also be aware of the definition of verification. The FDA defines verification as a confirmation, by examination and provision of objective evidence, that specified requirements have been fulfilled. Because verification cannot be performed on every critical to quality characteristic (CTQ), validation is essential for cases in which the predetermined requirements of the product can only be assured by destructive testing (sterilized products, tensile strength of a forged part, etc. ) Regulatory and certification bodies have requirements for the validation of processes."

"text": "\"The Constellations Origin of the Constellations Ever since people first wandered the Earth, great significance has been given to the celestial objects seen in the sky. Throughout human history and across many different cultures, names and mythical stories have been attributed to the star patterns in the night sky, thus giving birth to what we know as constellations. When were the first constellations recorded? Archaeological studies have identified possible astronomical markings painted on the walls in the cave system at Lascaux in southern France. Our ancestors may have recorded their view of the night sky on the walls of their cave some 17 300 years ago. It is thought that the Pleiades star cluster is represented alongside the nearby cluster of the Hyades. Was the first ever depiction of a star pattern made over seventeen millennia ago? ( Rappenglück 1996)Over half of the 88 constellations the IAU recognizes today are attributed to ancient Greek, which consolidated the earlier works by the ancient Babylonian, Egyptian and Assyrian. Forty eight of the constellations we know were recorded in the seventh and eighth books of Claudius Ptolemy’s Almagest, although the exact origin of these constellations still remains uncertain. Ptolemy’s descriptions are probably strongly influenced by the work of Eudoxus of Knidos in around 350 BC."

"text": "\"LEAN MANUFACTURING AND JUST-IN-TIME PRODUCTIONFollow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Photo by: Mac XAssociated with Japanese management techniques, just-in-time production (JIT) is a set of principles and practices based on the philosophy that firms should hold little or no inventory beyond that required for immediate production or distribution. That is, a manufacturer should receive raw materials or parts from its suppliers perhaps just hours before they will be used in production, and the firm's output should be shipped to its customers as soon after completion as possible—without holding onto a stock of either raw goods or finished products. In practice, JIT has often been expressed as a holistic management system aimed at reducing waste, maximizing cost efficiency, and securing a competitive advantage. Thus, a number of additional conditions are considered necessary for the successful implementation of JIT. These include small lot sizes, short setup and changeover times, efficient and effective quality controls, and perhaps most of all, designing the whole production process to minimize backups and maximize the efficiency of human and machine labor. Lean manufacturing encompasses a number of things. It essentially is a Westernized version of JIT and Japanese kaizen, or continuous improvement. Lean manufacturing is a process for measuring and reducing inventory and streamlining production. It is a means for changing the way a company measures plant performance. A knowledge-based system, lean manufacturing takes years of hard work, preparation, and support from upper management."

Taylor INTRODUCTIONForm 483 is used by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for reporting adverse findings resulting from one of their inspections. Numerous 483's have cited sampling plans as not being \"\"statistically valid\"\" or as lacking statistical justification. So what does it take for a sampling plan to be statistically valid? Selecting statistically valid sampling plans is a two part process. First, one must clearly define the objective of the inspection. Second, one must demonstrate that the sampling plan allows this objective to be met. This process will be demonstrated through a series of examples. HOW SAMPLING PLANS WORKSampling plans are used to make product disposition decisions. They decide which lots of product to accept and release and which lots to reject and either rework or discard. Ideally, a sampling plan should reject all \"\"bad\"\" lots while accepting all \"\"good\"\" lots."

According to the Sufi philosophies, the nafs in its unrefined state is \"\"the ego\"\", which they consider to be the lowest dimension of a person's inward existence - his animal and satanic nature. [ 2] Nafs is an important concept in the Islamic tradition, especially within Sufism and the discipline of gnosis ( irfan) in Shia Islam. Contents [ hide ]1 Quranic concept2 Sufism's conception of nafs2.1 Three principal stages2.2 The inciting nafs ( an-nafs al-ʾammārah)2.3 The self-accusing nafs ( an-nafs al-luwwāmah)2.4 The nafs at peace ( an-nafs al-muṭmaʾinnah)2.4.1 Four additional stages of nafs2.4.1.1 The inspired nafs ( an-nafs al-mulhamah)2.4.1.2 The pleased nafs ( an-nafs ar-raḍīyyah)2.4.1.3 The pleasing nafs ( an-nafs al-marḍīyyah)2.4.1.4 The pure nafs ( an-nafs aṣ-ṣāfīyyah)2.4.1.5 Full sequence of nafs development2.4.2 Characteristics of nafs3 See also4 Notes5 References6 External links Quranic concept [ edit]The triliteral root nūn fā sīn (ن ف س) occurs 298 times in the Quran, in four derived forms: [3]once as the form V verb tanaffasa (تَنَفَّسَ)once as the form VI verb yatanāfasi (يَتَنَافَسِ)295 times as the noun nafs (نَفْس)once as the form VI active participle mutanāfisūn (مُتَنَٰفِسُون)The noun nafs has important instances in the Quran such as the following: \"\"O you who have believed, upon you is [responsibility for] yourselves...\"\" [4] The major theme of the word nafs as used in the Quran is to instill a sense of individual responsibility through a strong emphasis on the choices made by the individual (as in 5:105), while at the same time reminding humanity of its common origins (verse 4:1). The Quran affords much importance to the 'nafs' of an individual, highlighting the agency of 'free will' and intelligence, without which neither responsibility nor accountability can exist. The Quran does not attribute to the 'nafs/self' any inherent properties of 'good' or 'evil', but instead conveys the idea that it is something which has to be nurtured and self-regulated, so that it can progress into becoming 'good' through its thoughts and actions. The Quranic conception of the 'nafs' therefore has an extremely modernistic undertone, much like Nietzsche's conception of \"\"Übermensch\"\" or 'Superman', as suggested by Muhammad Iqbal, a prominent Muslim scholar and philosopher, who went as far as to accuse Nietzsche of borrowing the term from Islamic thought. Iqbal stated: \"\"It is probable that Nietzsche borrowed it (Übermensch) from the literature of Islam or of the East and degraded it by his materialism.\"\" ["

"text": "\"Effects of Space Travel on the Human Bodywritten by: Jason C. Chavis•edited by: George Adcock •updated: 3/11/2010The effects of space travel on the human body are primarily caused by the existence of a microgravity environment that causes weightlessness and the vacuum of space when unprotected. While we can isolate ourselves from the effects of the vacuum, weightlessness cannot be avoided. How the Vacuum of Space Affects the Human Body The major negative affects of space travel on the human body are most dangerous when individuals are not protected from the vacuum of space. When a person is exposed to the vacuum without a space suit, the lack of pressure and effects from radiation and temperature cause major changes in human physiology. Due to the low pressure in space, all gases in the human body will be removed over the course of 9 to 12 seconds, a condition known as hypoxia. This results in a loss of consciousness and ultimately death in approximately two minutes. However, victims of low pressure atmospheres can be revived within about 90 seconds. An additional problem that arises with humans in the vacuum of space is called ebullism. Because of the extreme drop in pressure, blood and other fluids in the body begin to expand, ultimately reaching twice their normal size. However, despite what is shown in the media, this does not result in the explosion of individuals as the human body is elastic enough to withstand the drop in pressure."

Like Hebrew and Aramaic, it is a Semitic language. One of the earliest recorded instances of Arabic is found in an Assyrian account of a war fought with Arabs between 853 and 626 B. C. Arabic inscriptions in various alphabets have been found on the Arabian Peninsula. By the time of the Prophet Muhammad (sixth century A. D.), Arabic had developed into a refined literary language. The Arab conquest brought it to Lebanon. In Lebanon, as elsewhere in the Arab world, there are essentially two forms of Arabic--colloquial, of which there are many dialects, and classical. Classical Arabic, uniform throughout the Arab world, is chiefly a written language. It is also used for public speeches, poetry recitations, and radio and television broadcasts. A Modern Standard Arabic has been developed from the old classical language of the Quran, the Islamic scripture; the syntax has been slightly simplified, the vocabulary considerably expanded, and the literary style made less complex. The classical Arabic language is the principal unifying factor in the Arab world."

The Greek, Hipparchus, was the first to assign a number to a star's brightness. He said the brightest stars were 1 in magnitude and dimmest stars were designated 6 in magnitude. This system was later revised so that a difference in 5 magnitudes would correspond to a factor of 100 in brightness . In keeping with the original scale, a magnitude of 6 is considered the eye limit (under best viewing conditions). As a result of this adjustment, some stars then had magnitudes even brighter than 1 ... so what do you do? Go to zero!"

In attempting a definition of ‘ fi t rah ’, I give an exposition of its linguistic and religious meaning. The religious understanding of fi t rah is based on the positive interpretation of fi t rah …Suffice it to say that linguistic and positive religious explanations have one thing in common: both define fi t rah as an inborn natural predisposition which cannot change, and which exists at birth in all human beings. What makes our religious understanding positive is that it not only acknowledges fi t rah as a natural predisposition, but also one which is inclined towards right action and submission to Allâh, the One God. After discussing the implications for human responsibility, I compare, for the benefit of Western readers, the Islamic concept of original goodness with the Christian concept of original sin. I argue that the doctrine of original sin, from an Islâmic point of view, cannot be reconciled with the notion of Divine mercy nor the human responsibility. Since the doctrine of original sin features significantly in the Christian concept of human nature, and as Islâm and Christianity are the world’s largest revealed religions, this aspect of their creeds presents an interesting contrast, well worth investigating.1. The Linguistic Meaning of Fitrah‘Every new-born child is born in a state of fi t rah. Then his parents make him a Jew, a Christian or a Magian, just as an animal is born intact. Do you observe any among them that are maimed (at birth)?’ [ 1]The word fi t rah comes from the Arabic radicals fa t a ra, the verbal noun being fa t run."

[ 1] It is one of several views of epistemology, the study of human knowledge, along with rationalism and skepticism. Empiricism emphasizes the role of empirical evidence in the formation of ideas, over the idea of innate ideas or traditions; [2] empiricists may argue however that traditions (or customs) arise due to relations of previous sense experiences. [ 3]Empiricism in the philosophy of science emphasizes evidence, especially as discovered in experiments. It is a fundamental part of the scientific method that all hypotheses and theories must be tested against observations of the natural world rather than resting solely on a priori reasoning, intuition, or revelation. Empiricism, often used by natural scientists, says that \"\"knowledge is based on experience\"\" and that \"\"knowledge is tentative and probabilistic, subject to continued revision and falsification .\"\" [ 4] Empirical research, including experiments and validated measurement tools, guides the scientific method.

The company headquarters was in Wichita, Kansas, United States, with maintenance and manufacturing locations worldwide. The history of Hawker Beechcraft originated in 1994 when Raytheon merged its Beech Aircraft Corporation and Raytheon Corporate Jets units. In 2006, Raytheon sold the company to a consortium of Goldman Sachs and Onex Corporation. This deal left the company with a heavy burden of debt which it struggled to support from the economic crisis of 2008 onwards. In April 2012 it defaulted on interest payments and was in breach of banking covenants; this caused widespread speculation that it would enter bankruptcy. On May 3, 2012, the company entered bankruptcy, filing voluntary petitions under Chapter 11, Title 11, United States Code in US Bankruptcy Court. [ 3] [4] The bankruptcy resulted in the company accepting an offer to be purchased by Superior Aviation Beijing. [ 5] By October 18, 2012 the negotiations for the sale had failed and the company decided to cease jet production and exited bankruptcy on its own on February 19, 2013, under a new name, Beechcraft Corporation.

"text": "[ANALYSIS] Elite Status with Air Canada Altitude, Prestige 25K6Jan2014Not to be confused with the Aeroplan Program, Air Canada operates its own elite program called: Altitude. The program consists of five elite statuses: Prestige 25K, Elite 35K, Elite 50K, Elite 75K and Super Elite 100K. This post is going to focus on Prestige 25K. We will be posting about the other statuses later on. To qualify for the Prestige 25K status, you need to earn 25,000 Altitude Qualifying Miles (AQM) or 25 Altitude Qualifying Segments (AQS) on Air Canada or Star Alliance flights during a calendar year. Furthermore, you will need to earn at least 10,000 AQM or 5 AQS on eligible flights operated by Air Canada, Air Canada Express or Air Canada rouge. This is separate from the Aeroplan program, because while you are earning AQMs and AQSs, you are still earning Aeroplan points at the same time because they are two separate programs, so you are already in an automatic double dipping scenario!AQMs will depend on the distance that you travel and the type of ticket that you purchase. I wrote more about AQMs here. AQSs are more straightforward. It just depends on how many actual flights you take. This number can add up quickly if you have layover flights because each plane you board counts as 1 AQS. Once you reached Prestige 25K, you will be able to choose from a host of benefits."

It was first deployed in March 1990, [4] and remains in service. The Trident II Strategic Weapons System is an improved SLBM with greater accuracy, payload, and range than the earlier Trident C-4. It is a key element of the U. S. strategic nuclear triad and strengthens U. S. strategic deterrence. The Trident II is considered to be a durable sea-based system capable of engaging many targets. It enhances the U. S. position in strategic arms negotiation with performance and payload flexibility that can accommodate active treaty initiatives (see New START ). The Trident II's increased payload allows nuclear deterrence to be accomplished with fewer submarines, [10] and its high accuracy – approaching that of land-based missiles – enables it to be used as a first strike weapon.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Network congestion in data networking and queueing theory is the reduced quality of service that occurs when a network node or link is carrying more data than it can handle. Typical effects include queueing delay, packet loss or the blocking of new connections. A consequence of congestion is that an incremental increase in offered load leads either only to a small increase or even a decrease in network throughput. [ 1]Network protocols that use aggressive retransmissions to compensate for packet loss due to congestion can increase congestion, even after the initial load has been reduced to a level that would not normally have induced network congestion. Such networks exhibit two stable states under the same level of load. The stable state with low throughput is known as congestive collapse. Networks use congestion control and congestion avoidance techniques to try to avoid collapse. These include: exponential backoff in protocols such as CSMA/CA in 802.11 and the similar CSMA/CD in the original Ethernet, window reduction in TCP, and fair queueing in devices such as routers and network switches. Other techniques that address congestion include priority schemes which transmit some packets with higher priority ahead of others and the explicit allocation of network resources to specific flows through the use of admission control.

The Peacekeeper was a MIRV missile that could carry up to 10 re-entry vehicles, each armed with a 300- kiloton W87warhead in a Mk.21 reentry vehicle (RV). A total of 50 missiles were deployed starting in 1986, after a long and contentious development program that traced its roots into the 1960s. MX was designed to allow the US to ride out a sneak attack by the Soviet ICBM fleet and then launch a counterattack. In order for the counterattack to be effective, MX had to have three qualities; the ability to be rapidly re-targeted so it would only be attacking those Soviet missiles known to still be in their silos, enough accuracy to allow a small warhead to kill an enemy silo so more warheads could be packed on a single MX missile, and a basing system that meant enough of the missiles would survive an attack that the counterattack would be effective. Among these three, the basing issue remained an unsolved problem and the subject of much criticism during the MX's development. After considerable debate, President Reagan announced that the newly named Peacekeeper would be put into service in existing LGM-30 Minuteman silos, a temporary solution until a final basing solution was decided."

A General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper, a hunter-killer surveillance UAVA DJI Phantom UAV for commercial and recreational aerial photography Alti Gator civil drone Onyx Star Fox-C8 XT in flight UAV launch from an air-powered catapult An unmanned aerial vehicle ( UAV ), commonly known as a drone, is an aircraft without a human pilot aboard. UAVs are a component of an unmanned aircraft system (UAS); which include a UAV, a ground-based controller, and a system of communications between the two. The flight of UAVs may operate with various degrees of autonomy: either under remote control by a human operator or autonomously by onboard computers. [ 1]Compared to manned aircraft, UAVs were originally used for missions too \"\"dull, dirty or dangerous\"\" [2] for humans. While they originated mostly in military applications, their use is rapidly expanding to commercial, scientific, recreational, agricultural, and other applications, [3] such as policing, peacekeeping, [4] and surveillance, product deliveries, aerial photography, agriculture, smuggling, [5] and drone racing. Civilian UAVs now vastly outnumber military UAVs, with estimates of over a million sold by 2015, so they can be seen as an early commercial application of autonomous things, to be followed by the autonomous car and home robots.

The term drone, more widely used by the public, was coined in reference to the early remotely-flown target aircraft used for practice firing of a battleship's guns, and the term was first used with the 1920s Fairey Queen and 1930's de Havilland Queen Bee target aircraft."

Originally, it was a brand of Beech Aircraft Corporation, an American manufacturer of general aviation, commercial, and military aircraft, ranging from light single-engined aircraft to twin-engined turboprop transports, business jets, and military trainers.

Wells as vice president of engineering, K. K. Shaul as treasurer, and investor C. G. Yankey as vice president. [ 7] The company began operations in an idle Cessna factory. With designer Ted Wells, they developed the first aircraft under the Beechcraft name, the classic Beechcraft Model 17 Staggerwing, which first flew in November 1932. Over 750 Staggerwings were built, with 270 manufactured for the United States Army Air Forces during World War II. [ citation needed]Beechcraft was not Beech's first company, as he had previously formed Travel Air in 1924 and the design numbers used at Beechcraft followed the sequence started at Travel Air, and were then continued at Curtiss-Wright, after Travel Air had been absorbed into the much larger company in 1929. Beech became President of the Curtiss-Wright's airplane division and VP of sales, but became dissatisfied with being so far removed from aircraft production and quit to form Beechcraft, using the original Travel Air facilities and employing many of the same people. Model numbers prior to 11/11000 were built under the Travel Air name, while Curtiss-Wright built the CW-12, 14, 15, and 16 as well as previous successful Travel Air models (mostly the model 4). ["

Education Flint Junior College University of Michigan Occupation Engineer Engineering career Discipline Aeronautical engineering, systems engineering Employer (s) Lockheed Corporation Projects P-38 Lightning Skunk Works U-2F-104 Starfighter SR-71 Blackbird Clarence Leonard \"\"Kelly\"\" Johnson (February 27, 1910 – December 21, 1990) was an American aeronautical and systems engineer. He is recognized for his contributions to a series of important aircraft designs, most notably the Lockheed U-2 and SR-71 Blackbird. Besides the first production aircraft to exceed Mach 3, he also produced the first fighter capable of Mach 2, the United States' first operational jet fighter, as well as the first U. S. fighter to exceed 400 mph, and many other contributions to a large number of aircraft. [ 1] As a member and first team leader of the Lockheed Skunk Works, Johnson worked for more than four decades and is said to have been an \"\"organizing genius\"\". [ 2] He played a leading role in the design of over forty aircraft, including several honored with the prestigious Collier Trophy, acquiring a reputation as one of the most talented and prolific aircraft design engineers in the history of aviation. In 2003, as part of its commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the Wright Brothers' flight, Aviation Week & Space Technology ranked Johnson 8th on its list of the top 100 \"\"most important, most interesting, and most influential people\"\" in the first century of aerospace. [ 3] Hall Hibbard, Johnson's Lockheed boss, referring to Johnson's Swedish ancestry once remarked to Ben Rich: \"\"That damned Swede can actually see air.\"\" [ 1] [4]Johnson also helped to design the Lockheed AQM-60 Kingfisher a decade before the famous SR-71. The Kingfisher was a highly successful single-engine Mach 4.3-capable ramjet aircraft composed mainly of steel, which was used to test American air defenses against nuclear missiles. The information and experience Johnson gained was later used to produce the A-12 spy plane for the Central Intelligence Agency."

We briefly explain each type of swimming pool heater in this article to help you choose the best one for you and your needs, and to therefore allow you to make the best purchase. Electric Resistance Heaters Electric resistance heaters use electric currents to create heat. When a current is applied to the resistor located inside the unit, the resistor heats. Water then washes over the resistor and heats, causing the resistor to cool. Because electric resistance heaters require large amounts of electricity, they are primarily used to heat small, portable spas and small therapy pools.

"text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Shopping Fashion Jewelry Gold and Precious Metals What acid will dissolve gold metal? Flag What acid will dissolve gold metal? Answer by Shelly Tan Confidence votes 488Aqua regia, which is a mixture of two acids, will dissolve gold. Aqua regia is a mixture of concentrated nitric acid (HNO3) and concentrated hydrochloric acid (HCl), usually in a 1 to 3 ratio respectively. Aqua regia is one of the few acids that will dissolve both gold and platinum as well as other metals. Interestingly, neither hydrochloric acid nor nitric acid alone will dissolve gold, but together, they will! Both acids do different jobs. Nitric acid actually dissolves a virtually undetectable amount of gold, which reacts with the hydrochloric acid to produce ions that are much more soluble. This frees the nitric acid to dissolve the gold further, and the reaction continues.

Like most other zoos of the time, the Pittsburgh Zoo more closely resembled a menagerie than an actual zoo. However, as time progressed, the animal exhibits eventually became more naturalistic, and the zoo's goal became more focused on conservation. In 1937, the bear exhibits were built under the Works Progress Administration. These exhibits were the zoo's first attempt at constructing more naturalistic exhibits instead of simply displaying animals in cages."

What does it actually mean that astrologically this is the Age of Aquarius and are there any signs in the world that this Age has already begun? When will it dawn, and what can we expect? Most people are familiar with the term New Age and many will recognise the words of the song ‘This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius’. These Ages in astrology last for around 2,000 years and what these words actually refer to is the world leaving one Age (the Age of Pisces which coincided with the arrival of Christ) and entering the next (Aquarius). Aquarius is the eleventh zodiacal sign, and this ancient constellation has retained a consistent mythical theme through various cultural transformations. The Babylonians saw the water jar as an overflowing urn,Age Of Aquariusand associated Aquarius with their eleventh month, equivalent to our January-Feburary, translating to “curse of rain.” Aquarius is the first constellation in both the Chinese and Indian calendars and is associated with water in both. The Egyptians saw the figure representing Hapi, god of the Nile, who distributed the waters of life. In the seventies the Broadway musical HAIR informed us of the dawning of the” Age of Aquarius .”"

Often confused with “astronomy,” which is a study of the universe, astrology is the study of the how the universe affects humans. Astrology is based on the positions of the planets specific to the day you were born. Sometimes astrology is described as a pseudoscience because its’ discovery was not based on scientific methods. Supporters of astrology believe in a spiritual sense each life can find purpose through study of the stars. Many believe that assistance and consultation in a persons’ daily life using stars, planets, the Earth’s moon and sun. Astrologers use the constellations we call the zodiac, for twelve astrological signs:1. Aries/Ram 2. Taurus the Bull 3. Gemini the Twins 4."

Yajna-Vidya, knowledge that is acquired by means of certain occult powers awakened within our own inner nature, through certain magical rituals. Kabbalistic Maha-Vidya, the science of the Kabbalah with all its invocations, mathematical symbols, and liturgy, which can be angelic or diabolic depending on the type of person using it. Gupta-Vidya, the science of mantras, the magic of the word; it is based on the mystical powers of sounds, on the science of harmony. Atma-Vidya or real wisdom of the Being, Atman, the Superior Monad.

Understanding Leo Leo is the undisputed king or queen of the astrological jungle. Leo will take every opportunity to remind you of this, but don't hate him for it. Leo can't help but walk with his shoulders back and head held high, and it's this very regal and dignified manner that often first attracts potential partners. Leos need to be in the center of attention, and they absolutely love having all eyes on them. Socializing with friends and loved ones comes quite naturally to this sign, and Leos wilt if they are not mingling and having fun. However, this carefree and exuberant attitude does not mean that Leo is not smart. On the contrary, Leos are typically quite intelligent and shrewd, and they can easily spot a good thing, whether it's a business contact or a partnership, when they see it."

[ 1]An aquiline nose (also called a Roman nose or, derogatorily, [2] hook nose) is a human nose with a prominent bridge, giving it the appearance of being curved or slightly bent. The word aquiline comes from the Latin word aquilinus (\"\"eagle-like\"\"), an allusion to the curved beak of an eagle. [ 3] [4] [5] While some have ascribed the aquiline nose to specific ethnic, racial, or geographic groups, and in some cases associated it with other supposed non-physical characteristics (i.e. intelligence, status, personality, etc., see below ), no scientific studies or evidence support any such linkage.

This tale of an SAS sniper trolled around various newspapers, particularly the Daily Express whose circulation has often depended on such tales for a good number of years, is yet another good old worked up yarn, substantiated by a storyline thinner than any chemical weapons attack justification soon to be used by America for attacking Syria!

"text": "\"Travel Europe (Continental) Other - Europe What do scandinavian people look like?what are some physical characteristics of scandinavian people5 following 9 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: A fairly large percentage of the population originally comes from foreign origins, so they hold no common characteristics. If you mean traditionally, it can vary a lot depending on the part of Scandinavia.. not just the country, but areas within the country. Populated areas in Norway, for example, were very isolated due to natural barriers (like mountains) so people from one area can look very distinct from another. I know you want a blanket answer, but there's really not one. I can tell you what a stereotypical Scandinavian looks like, but it's not a good representation of the general population. A historical survey done in the 1920s puts people just from Sweden into 4 or 5 main physical types. While there are more blondes in Nordic countries than elsewhere, especially in the center of Finland and Sweden, there are also many natural brunettes. The white-blonde hair that's become a stereotype is only common to a small percentage. Most people have dark blonde or light brown hair, and light eyes. There is a wider range among Sami and their descendants, who sometimes have dark hair and eyes."

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."

For better or worse, men, women, and even children understand that outward appearance elicits opinions from friends and strangers alike. In the middle of that lies the nose. Rhinoplasty was one of the earliest cosmetic procedures performed, and for obvious reasons. A century ago, clothing showed little skin and fashion hid a multitude of flaws. The nose was central—literally and figuratively—to the appearance. An attractive nose could, and still does, overshadow a host of other features. From ancient Greece to the Renaissance, philosophers and artists have defined beauty according to a set of classic principles. Despite these idealizations, however, beauty remains elusive, often defying the rules."

The woman on an ivory cameo usually had an aristocratic appearance with exquisite aquiline features, slender neck, hair tucked up in an elaborate hairdo, and wearing jewelry. The relief was generally carved on white ivory that added a touch of delicateness to the piece of cameo jewelry. The ivory cameo is a piece of jewelry that has centuries of history attached to it and has graced personalities as luminous as Napoleon Bonaparte and Josephine. Ivory cameo jewelry bear the unmistakable imprint of the artisan's skill and as such were much coveted by the royalty and hoi polloi alike. Its appeal has still not waned. The Aesthetic and Artistic Appeal of Ivory Cameos An appreciation of the aesthetic and artistic appeal of ivory cameos will help you understand why this piece of jewelry has enthralled many people throughout the ages. Although the relief portrait of a lady is one of the most popular cameo motifs, this piece of jewelry also sports many different types of designs. The portrait of a scholar, a powerful ruler, or a noble philosopher were popular designs on ivory cameos, and these pieces of jewelry were worn as a mark of respect, love, and/or to show allegiance. Ivory cameos depicting scenes from mythologies, religious figures, floral patterns, and motifs with a Roman influence were also popular at one time."

The evidence is clear — but often ignored John Harrison Sims • October 1, 2010 • 3,600 Words • 408 Comments • Reply RSSRecent films about ancient Greece such as Troy, Helen of Troy, and 300, have used actors who are of Anglo-Saxon or Celtic ancestry (e.g. Brad Pitt, Gerard Butler). Recent films about ancient Rome, such as Gladiator and HBO’s series Rome, have done the same (e.g. Russell Crowe). Were the directors right, from an historical point of view? Were the ancient Greeks and Romans of North European stock? Most classical historians today are silent on the subject. For example, Paul Cartledge, a professor of Greek culture at Cambridge, writes about his specialty, Sparta, for educated but non-academic readers, yet nowhere that I can find does he discuss the racial origins of the Spartans. Some years ago I asked several classics professors about the race of the ancient Greeks only to be met with shrugs that suggested that no one knew, and that it was not something worth looking into. Today, an interest in the race of the ancients seems to be taken as an unhealthy sign, and any evidence of their Nordic origins discounted for fear it might give rise to dangerous sentiments. A hundred years ago, however, Europeans took it for granted that many Greeks and Romans were the same race as themselves."

By Jonah Lehrer, published July 1, 2009 - last reviewed on June 9, 2016SHARETWEETEMAILMOREConsider the flightless fluffs of brown otherwise known as herring gull chicks. Since they're entirely dependent on their mothers for food, they're born with a powerful instinct. Whenever they see a bird beak, they frantically peck at it, begging for their favorite food: a regurgitated meal. But this reflex can be manipulated. Expose the chicks to a fake beak—say, a wooden stick with a red dot that looks like the one on the end of an adult herring gull's beak—and they peck vigorously at that, too. Should the chicks see a wood stick with three red dots, they peck even faster. Abstracting and exaggerating the salient characteristics of a mother gull's beak strengthens the response. The phenomenon is known as the \"\"peak-shift effect,\"\" since a peak pecking response comes from a shifted stimulus."

"text": "Gioachino Rossini, in full Gioachino Antonio Rossini, (born February 29, 1792, Pesaro, Papal States [Italy]—died November 13, 1868, Passy, near Paris, France), Italian composer noted for his operas, particularly his comic operas, of which The Barber of Seville (1816), Cinderella (1817), and Semiramide (1823) are among the best known. Of his later, larger-scale dramatic operas, the most widely heard is William Tell (1829). Early years Gioachino Rossini was the son of Giuseppe Rossini, an impoverished trumpeter who played in miscellaneous bands and orchestras, and Anna Guidarini, a singer of secondary roles. Thus, Rossini spent his entire childhood in the theatre. Though a lazy student, the young Rossini found it easy to learn to sing and play. At age 14 he entered Bologna’s Philharmonic School (now the G. B. Martini State Conservatory of Music) and composed his first opera seria — Demetrio e Polibio (1806; staged in 1812)—for the Mombelli, a family of singers. At 15 he had learned the violin, horn, and harpsichord and had often sung in public, even in the theatre, to earn some money. When his voice broke and he was unable to continue singing, Rossini became an accompanist and then a conductor. He had already realized the importance of the German school of composition, perceiving the new elements by which Joseph Haydn and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart had enriched music. These influences can be found in the early cantata he wrote for the Philharmonic School, performed there in 1808."

"text": "\"Biography of Jean-Martin Charcot Charcot was one of a select group of physicians who made the Salpêtrière hospital in Paris a world medical centre, founding the famous neurological clinique there. He is considered the founder of modern neurology, and is remembered as the first professor of neurology. His name is associated with at least 15 medical eponyms, of which the most known is Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. Another is amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, in America particularly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Jean Martin Charcot was born in Paris in 1825, the son and grandson of a coach-builder. The family originally came from Champagne. In childhood he manifested a taciturn personality which persisted throughout his life, and while still a boy demonstrated an early interest in medicine, but was no less interested in drawing and painting which taught him the importance of making careful observations - from which he was later to benefit greatly, both as a teacher and a scientist. Charcot at an early age decided upon a career in medicine. He qualified in 1853, at the age of 23, and gained a junior post at the Salpêtrière. He became interne des hôpitaux in 1848 and was appointed chef de clinique in 1853, after defending an outstanding doctoral thesis on gout and chronic rheumatism (arthritis nodosa), in which he differentiated gout from other forms of chronic rheumatism He became médecin des hôpitaux de Paris (Bureau Central des hôpitaux de Paris) in 1856."

They generally operate at target levels between 3000 to 4000 ppm. For this example we will assume that your Salt Chlorine Generator operates at 3500 ppm. So, you will want to add enough salt to your pool to bring the salt concentration level to 3500 ppm. Step 2Your next step is to determine the current level of salt in your pool. If you have just installed a new pool, your salt level will be 0 ppm. If you have an older pool and are converting from a standard chlorinator, your pool will have a low level of salt concentration, typically around 500 ppm. ."

At the time of Chr�tien de Troyes, the rooms where the lord of a castle, his family and his knights lived and ate and slept were in the Keep (called the Donjon), the rectangular tower inside the walls of a castle. This was meant to be the strongest and safest place. << Falaise Castle in Normandy in France This is the rectangular keep at Falaise Castle in Normandy in France (the round tower was added several hundred years afterwards). Later on, round keeps began to be built because rectangular ones could be attacked at the corners, which were their weakest parts.

The castle was built by the Duke of Normandy in the 11th Century. William the Conqueror was born here in 1027.

As military conquest was growing, it was important to use weapons what were both easy to manufacture and effective in combat. As the Middle Ages progressed, people became better at working metals and materials, and therefore created better weapons. There were three kinds of weapons: melee, range, and large siege weapons. Melee Weapons Importance of Weapons Melee weapons were generally used in close range, and in a traditional battle, were the first to be deployed. In the event of a siege, the siege weapons would lead, followed by the infantry carrying melee weapons. Arming Swords Ranged weapons Ranged weapons were a key tool to many medieval armies success in battle. Ranged weapons offered the opportunity of dealing damage to an opposing force at a distance.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A modern recurve bow A recurve bow is a bow with limbs that curve away from the archer when unstrung. A recurve bow stores more energy and delivers energy more efficiently than the equivalent straight-limbed bow, giving a greater amount of energy and speed to the arrow. A recurve will permit a shorter bow than the simple straight limb bow for a given arrow energy and this form was often preferred by archers in environments where long weapons could be cumbersome, such as in brush and forest terrain, or while on horseback. Recurved limbs also put greater strain on the materials used to make the bow, and they may make more noise with the shot. Extreme recurves make the bow unstable when being strung. An unstrung recurve bow can have a confusing shape and many Native American weapons, when separated from their original owners and cultures, were incorrectly strung backwards and destroyed when attempts were made to shoot them.

And sometimes I have known it, when bent, to start aside, - regain its quiescent position, to my no small danger...this is precisely the kind of bow mentioned by Homer, Odyss. xxi, which none of Penelope's suitors could bend, called καμπυλα τοξα [ kampula toxa] in the state of rest; but τοξον παλιντονον [ toxon palintonon ], the recurved bow when prepared for use.\"\" ["

Currently, the most common method [ citation needed] in modern target archery is the Mediterranean draw, long the usual method in European archery. Other methods include the pinch draw and the Mongolian or \"\"thumb\"\" draw. In traditional archery practice outside of Western Europe the variations of the thumb draw are by far the most dominant draw types with the Mediterranean draw restricted to Olympic style target shooting. Contents1 Pinch draw and release1.1 Variations2 Mediterranean draw and release2.1 Variations3 Thumb draw and release4 Japanese draw and release5 Equipment6 References7 General references Pinch draw and release [ edit]A pinch draw The pinch draw squeezes the end of the arrow between the thumb and index finger. Most people use this draw naturally when they first start shooting. [ citation needed] This is often called the \"\"primary draw/release\"\"; the advantage of this draw is that the release is very clean; when the pull reaches a certain point, friction can no longer hold the arrow and it flies free. However, this release prevents the drawing of a stiff bow unless the archer possesses enormous strength in the fingers. It was widespread in traditional archery in the Americas and is seen (with the Mediterranean draw) in the earlier Assyrian reliefs of Ashurnasirpal II. Among Greek archers it was probably the most common draw until the end of the Classical period. ["

Their unique unit is the Throwing Axeman, who deal hand damage at range (their attacks deal damage according to 'armor', not pierce armor). Throwing axes were more popular than bows in the densely forested parts of northern Europe from whence the Franks came from, and they even take their name from their throwing axe, the Francisca. Their Castle Age unique technology, Bearded Axe, reflect this by giving their Throwing Axemen more range. The Frankish King Charlemagne started the tradition of using armored cavalry who became known as knights, and Frankish Knights fight valiantly with more HP and longer line of sight.

After determining the meaning of the suffix, the prefix is usually defined next, followed by the root word meaning. Suffixes may be used to to make a word either an adjective or a noun. Depending on how the root word ends, a combining vowel may be attached between the root word and the suffix. A suffix will have the same meaning when added to any root word. For instance, -plasty means surgical repair, so rhinoplasty would denote surgical repair of the nose while angioplasty means surgical repair of a blood vessel. Some suffixes may have the same or similar meanings. For example, -al, -ary, ical, and -oid all may mean \"\"pertaining to,\"\" but each may be used with particular root words in practice.

Share Flip Pin Email•••By Jean Murray Updated April 08, 2018Arbitration sounds like a term you might have found in a union dispute a few decades ago, but it is more and more common in the business world. You'll run across it in employment contracts, credit card agreements, and retail contracts all the time, so it's good to know what it means and how arbitration works. In particular, you may have seen a mandatory arbitration clause in a contract. What is Arbitration? Arbitration (n.)is the process of bringing a business dispute before a disinterested third party for resolution. The third party, an arbitrator, hears the evidence brought by both sides and makes a decision. Sometimes that decision is binding on the parties.

"text": "\"United States: International Arbitration And Arbitrability From The United States Perspective Last Updated: April 24 2014 Article by Omer Kesikli Kesikli Law Firm I. INTRODUCTIONCommercial arbitration is a very old and much relied upon practice of dispute resolution between national and international companies and corporations 1. The modern development of international arbitration can be traced to the Jay Treaty (1794) between Great Britain and the United States, which established three arbitral commissions to settle questions and claims arising out of the American Revolution 2. Arbitration is now generally accepted in the legal community as a typical method of alternative dispute resolution, and is widely used in a variety of contexts, including disputes involving commercial transactions, consumer transactions and employment relationships 3. The United States' arbitration practice occupies an exceptional position in the global international arbitration system and in arbitration's historic advancement since there have been a vast number of U. S judicial decisions referenced by other countries' courts. The doctrine of freedom of contract is the driving force in American arbitration law and practice 4. Given the complexity of the U. S legal system's adversarial and complicated structure, analyzing the legal background of the arbitration system carries a special importance for a Non-U. S jurist indeed. Accordingly this document will briefly draw a general overview of the international commercial arbitration in the United States in terms of its legal framework, some selected precedents, arbitration agreement and the relevant arbitrability matters. II. ARBITRATION LEGISLATION IN THE UNITED STATESIn the United States, law derives from five sources: constitutions, international treaties, statutes, regulations promulgated by administrative agencies, and appellate opinions of courts 5. The sources of the arbitration law therefore can be categorized in the foregoing order as well."

"text": "\"What is Arbitration? Arbitration is one of various methods that together are referred to as alternative dispute resolution or ADR. As suggested by the name, the idea behind methods of ADR is to provide an alternative to filing a lawsuit and going to court, which is the traditional method for resolving legal disputes. Arbitration and similar alternatives were primarily designed to provide for a streamlined and cost-conscious option to deal with a legal issue. Below we'll take a look at when arbitration is an option, how it works, and how it differs from going to court. When can I Arbitrate? Anyone can agree to arbitrate a disagreement or legal issue, but the key word is \"\"agree\"\". Simply because one of the parties in a dispute desires to enter into arbitration does not take away another party's right to go to court. Arbitration only comes about when two parties agree to it, either before or after a legal dispute comes up. For this reason, agreements to arbitrate disputes are typically found somewhere in a written contract agreed to by both parties."

But no matter the reason for buying reinsurance, ceding insurers expect their reinsurers to pay when called on to reimburse the ceding insurer's losses. In an active trading relationship, reinsurers are often described as \"\"partners\"\" of their ceding insurers in the risk assumptions undertaken based on the policies issued by the ceding insurers to their policyholders.

Historically, methods used to settle disputes have ranged from negotiation, to courtroom litigation, and even to physical combat. The legal needs of countries, multinational companies, and ordinary people have changed over the last decade. When faced with a dispute, business people are learning that, whenever possible, it is more advantageous to reach practical and private agreements than to fight for years and spend huge amounts of money in courtroom battles. Due to the vast amounts of time and money involved in the trial process, the American and Italian business communities have increasingly turned to legal alternatives that are more prompt, private and economical than the courtroom. Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) refers to the wide spectrum of legal avenues that use means other than trial to settle disputes. The main ADR alternatives to civil litigation are negotiation, arbitration, conciliation and mediation. Other, more particular ADR processes available are early neutral evaluation, mini-trial, summary jury trial, and the judicial settlement conference. Disputing parties use these ADR methods because they are expeditious, private, and generally much less expensive than a trial."

It is surprising, however, how many construction clients will appear with instructions to their lawyer to commence litigation, ready to go to battle, when communication and negotiation can successfully obtain a better resolution. Your ability to communicate with thorough documentation and a clear, well-reasoned position will dramatically increase the chances of a favorable resolution without litigation. Administrative Claims Administrative claims are an effective and often required forum for government procurement contract disputes. 1 Many counties also are permitted to create their own administrative appeals procedure in their county code. 2A contractor or lawyer considering any monetary claim against a government owner must be sure to follow the procedures for making an administrative claim before resorting to litigation."

Binding arbitration is more common. Who Can Arbitrate Disputes? Arbitration can be voluntary (the parties agree to do it) or mandatory (required by law). Most contract arbitration occurs because the parties included an arbitration clause requiring them to arbitrate any disputes \"\"arising under or related to\"\" the contract. If a provision like this isn't included in the contract, the parties can still arbitrate if they both agree to it (although it's tough to reach an agreement to arbitrate once a dispute has arisen)."

What is arbitration? Arbitration is perhaps the most popular and widely known dispute resolution process. Like litigation, arbitration utilizes an adversarial approach that requires a neutral party to render a decision. Historically, arbitration has been used most widely in commercial disputes as a private alternative to litigation. Arbitration developed as a binding, adjudicative process. While these features closely parallel those of traditional court proceedings, there are important distinctions between the two processes which will be discussed further in this document. In Canada, arbitration is regulated by statute. Every province and territory has its own separate arbitration legislation 1."

Each Archangel has specific qualities that distinguish their characteristics and their specific angelic responsibilities. Archangel Ariel is an Angelic Ambassador of Nature, Animals, Elementals, Divine Magic, and Manifestation Ariel is experienced as a feminine angelic presence with a beautiful pale pink energy. Her name means Lioness of God and she is describedwithin books and literature involving Judaic mysticism and cabalistic magic. Archangel Ariel is aligned with the Natural World, with Animals and with Elementals (i.e. Fairies, Elves, Sprites, Gnomes etc.) In this capacity Ariel is a Guardian and healer of Animals and is an ally toward conservation of our natural world. Ariel will work autonomously and/or alongside Archangel Raphael for healing both wild and domestic animals. She invites us to call upon her for angelic assistance regarding any issues relating to animals and/or with conservation. Ariel is aligned with air/wind and with water, and although she is a guardian of all animals, she is especially aligned with birds and the Lion would be considered her “animal totem."

Anyone who has had a difficult relationship with a significant other or parent figure can benefit from this article. But first of all, I’m going to begin by explaining what cords are exactly. What are cords and why cut them? A cord is a negative energetic structure that ties you and another person together. When you form a relationship with a person, you make two types of connection. The first type of connection is the spiritual, positive bond that contains energies like unconditional love, good times and lessons learned together, fondness, affection – stuff like that. This is a positive cord that we never sever because it contains all that is good about the relationship. The second type of connection is a negative cord – this energetic structure is very different from the positive type because it contains all the negative energies that have ever been a feature of your relationship. For example, let’s say you have a cord to an unfaithful ex-boyfriend."

Amara, his older sister, is the only entity surpassing his power, with the Horseman Death, prior to his demise, being comparable to him in power. [ 1] [2] Together, God and The Darkness serve as the balance in the Universe, as the dark cannot exist without the light and vice versa. If either one of them is lost or destroyed, existence itself would cease to exist. His sister couldn't resist in destroying whatever he was setting out to create, so God created four archangels and, with them by his side, waged war against her and eventually locked her away with a mark which he entrusted to his most loved and valued angel, Lucifer. However, over time, after God created the Universe, the mark corrupted Lucifer and drew him to rebel when God created humankind."

A wireless Access Point (AP) connects a group of wireless stations to an adjacent wired (Typically, Ethernet) LAN.

Michael protects us physically, emotionally and psychically. He also oversees the lightworker's life purpose. His chief function is to rid the earth and its inhabitants of the toxins associated with fear. Michael carries a flaming sword that he uses to cut through etheric cords and protects us from Satan and negative entities. When he's around you may see sparkles or flashes of bright blue or purple light. Call on Michael if you find yourself under psychic attack or if you feel you lack commitment, motivation and dedication to your beliefs, courage, direction, energy, vitality, self-esteem, worthiness. Michael helps us to realize our life's purpose and he's invaluable to lightworkers helping with protection, space clearing and spirit releasement. Michael conquered the fallen Angel Satan, was in the Garden of Eden to teach Adam how to farm and care for his family, spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai and in 1950 he was canonized as Saint Michael, \"\"the patron of Police Officers,\"\" because he helps with heroic deeds and bravery.

Is a half-truth really a lie or just a half-truth? It is safe to say the definition of honesty can mean a lot of different things for a lot of different people. Wikipedia defines honesty as “the human quality of communicating and acting truthfully and with fairness.” Merriam-Webster defines honesty as “a fairness and straightforwardness of conduct; adherence to the facts.” How do you define honesty and what does it mean to you?

This section provides basic information on: Writing a policy for managing records Weeding and organizing paper documents Creating safe long-term storage Maintaining digital records Writing a Policy A written policy provides a rationale for deciding what materials to keep or discard, and how long they should be kept. It is indispensable for the person responsible for organizing and discarding records, but also provides a common understanding for others, including committee chairs and church staff. Although some items may seem valuable because they are old, a good policy will help you distinguish between what is important in the long term and what is not. Keep three basic criteria in mind: Some items are important to keep for legal reasons Duplicate copies are not necessary Keep only what you create, i.e., no need to archive denominational newsletters, magazines, or published books A good policy is a cooperative task. We suggest enlisting an ad-hoc committee or one or two interested individuals to help with the writing. Then it will be important to explain the policy to the congregation’s leadership and the staff members who will be carrying out the work. However good your policy may be, it will only work when it has the full support and understanding of all the people involved.

Lzip can compress about as fast as gzip (lzip -0), or compress most files more than bzip2 (lzip -9). Decompression speed is intermediate between gzip and bzip2. Lzip is better than gzip and bzip2 from a data recovery perspective. The lzip file format is designed for data sharing and long-term archiving, taking into account both data integrity and decoder availability: The lzip format provides very safe integrity checking and some data recovery means. The lziprecover program can repair bit-flip errors (one of the most common forms of data corruption) in lzip files, and provides data recovery capabilities, including error-checked merging of damaged copies of a file. The lzip format is as simple as possible (but not simpler). The lzip manual provides the source code of a simple decompressor along with a detailed explanation of how it works, so that with the only help of the lzip manual it would be possible for a digital archaeologist to extract the data from a lzip file long after quantum computers eventually render LZMA obsolete. Additionally the lzip reference implementation is copylefted, which guarantees that it will remain free forever. A nice feature of the lzip format is that a corrupt byte is easier to repair the nearer it is from the beginning of the file."

We'll start with very basic steps that address the most obvious reasons why Outlook stops working: Remove hanging Outlook processes Start Outlook in Safe mode Disable your Outlook add-ins Close all open programs and applications Repair your Outlook data files Reduce the size of your mailbox and Outlook data file Let Outlook auto-archive or synchronize without interruption Turn off your antivirus software Repair your Office programs Remove hanging Outlook processes From time to time Microsoft Outlook adopts quite an annoying habit to hang around even if the user persistently attempts to shut it down. Technically, it means that one or more outlook.exe processes would stay in memory preventing the Outlook application from closing correctly and not letting us, users, start a new Outlook instance. This problem existed in earlier versions and it may occur with recent Outlook 2013 and 2010. The first thing we need to do is kill all hanging Outlook processes. To do this, start up the Windows Task Manager either by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del, or by right clicking the taskbar and choosing \"\" Start Task Manager \"\"."

"text": "What Do you Mean by Archive? Genres of Usage for Digital Preservers February 27, 2014 by Trevor Owens One of the tricks to working in an interdisciplinary field like digital preservation is that all too often we can be using the same terms but not actually talking about the same things. In my opinion, the most fraught term in digital preservation discussions is “archive.” At this point, it has come to mean a lot of different things in different contexts. It can mean so many different things that some in digital preservation are reluctant to use the term writ large . I wanted to spend a few moments putting text on a URL that anyone can reference from here on out when they need to try and parse and disambiguate what we mean by archive. For a some related reading, I’d suggest checking out Kate Theimer’s Archives in Context and as Context and the role of “the professional discipline” in archives and digital archives. I’d stress here that I’m not really interested in telling people what is and isn’t an archive. Instead, I’m interested in 1) helping people ensure that they aren’t talking past each other and 2) briefly starting to suss out the resonances between these different usages. I would love to hear more perspectives on usage of the term and resonances between those uses in the comments."

BDSM is now used as a catch-all phrase covering a wide range of activities, forms of interpersonal relationships, and distinct subcultures. BDSM communities generally welcome anyone with a non-normative streak who identifies with the community; this may include cross-dressers, body modification enthusiasts, animal roleplayers, rubber fetishists, and others. Activities and relationships within a BDSM context are often characterized by the participants taking on complementary, but unequal roles; thus, the idea of informed consent of both the partners is essential."

Tags War and Foreign Policy Other Schools of Thought Philosophy and Methodology Political Theory04/26/2001 James Ostrowski Does democracy promote peace? We are told continually that it does. Let’s compare the rhetoric to the reality. Not to be confused with a republic, a democracy is a system in which, theoretically, what the majority says goes. The reality, however, is more complex and much uglier. In a democracy, various political elites struggle for control of the state apparatus by appealing to the material interests of large voting blocks with promises of legalized graft. Thus, we may modify our definition of democracy to mean a system in which our rulers are chosen by a majority of those who bother to show up on election day, exclusive of those who lack the minimal mental skills required to cast a lawful ballot. In modern democracies, individuals allegedly retain certain rights that cannot be overridden by the majority. Who defines and enforces those rights?"

Abortion Synonyms Induced miscarriage, termination of pregnancy Specialty Obstetrics and gynecology ICD-10-PCS O04ICD-9-CM 779.6Me SH D000028Medline Plus 007382 [ edit on Wikidata]Abortion is the ending of pregnancy by removing an embryo or fetus before it can survive outside the uterus. [ note 1] An abortion that occurs spontaneously is also known as a miscarriage. An abortion may be caused purposely and is then called an induced abortion, or less frequently, \"\"induced miscarriage\"\". The word abortion is often used to mean only induced abortions.

"text": "\"By Julie Kosin Nov 4, 2016 407Getty; Netflix Welcome to Girl Rising, our recurring interview series featuring our favorite newcomers on the verge of stardom. Much like the furtive relationship she's portraying onscreen, Vanessa Kirby makes only a few fleeting appearances in early episodes of The Crown, the $100-million series about Britain's royal family, streaming today on Netflix. But binge-watchers' diligence will pay off, as this forbidden affair—between Kirby's Princess Margaret and scandalous divorcé Group Captain Peter Townsend (Ben Miles), a trusted advisor of King George VI—becomes integral to the plot of the series' first season. Though modern audiences may not remember much of Margaret, who died in 2002 at the age of 72, Kirby's riveting, sympathetic portrayal of a lively young woman caught between her family and her lover is likely to conjure a renewed fascination with the late royal. Much like Margaret, who had a reputation for being the life of the party, Kirby is a ball of energy, her words tumbling over one another as she discusses the complexities of her character, especially the striking contrasts between the princess and her sister, Queen Elizabeth II (Claire Foy): \"\"They're trying to establish their identity in the world alongside each other and in relation to this establishment which only those two were a part of.\"\" Below, Kirby opens up about researching the \"\"exhibitionist\"\" princess, portraying the heartbreaks of Margaret's life and why her costumes are better than Elizabeth's: Harper's Bazaar: When you were cast as Margaret did you do any research into the role? How extensive did you get? Vanessa Kirby: I did a lot before [being cast] because I knew how important it would be for playing somebody real, or attempting to—to show the team [the role] was something I would be fascinated to do. I read a couple of biographies and I watched everything I could find. Some of the biographies were really sensationalist, News of the World sorts, but they were great because they also gave first and secondhand accounts of her at home."

NBCThe National Broadcasting Company is an American commercial broadcasting television network and radio network headquartered in the GE Building in New York City's Rockefeller Center with additional major offices near Los Angeles and in Chicago. NBC is sometimes referred to as the \"\"Peacock Network\"\", due to its stylized peacock logo, created originally for its color broadcasts. Formed in 1926 by the Radio Corporation of America, NBC is the oldest major broadcast network in the United States. In 1986, control of NBC passed to General Electric, with GE's $6.4 billion purchase of RCA. GE had previously owned RCA and NBC until 1930, when it had been forced to sell the company as a result of antitrust charges. After the 1986 acquisition, the chief executive of NBC was Bob Wright, until he retired, giving his job to Jeff Zucker. The network is currently part of the media company NBCUniversal, a subsidiary of Comcast, formerly in a joint venture with General Electric from 2011-2013. As a result of the merger, Zucker left NBC and was replaced by Comcast executive Steve Burke. NBC has 10 owned-and-operated stations and nearly 200 affiliates in the United States and other places."

The film was directed by Robert Zemeckis and stars Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Gary Sinise, Mykelti Williamson, and Sally Field. The story depicts several decades in the life of its titular character (Hanks), a slow-witted but kind-hearted, good-natured and athletically prodigious man from Alabama. Gump witnesses, and in some cases influences, some of the defining events of the latter half of the 20th century in the United States, specifically the period between his birth in 1944 and 1982. The film differs substantially from Winston Groom's novel, including Gump's personality and several events that were depicted. Principal photography took place in late 1993, mainly in Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Extensive visual effects were used to incorporate the protagonist into archived footage and to develop other scenes."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A sign requesting information on big cats in West Sussex. British big cats, also referred to as ABCs (Alien, or Anomalous, Big Cats), phantom cats and mystery cats, are reports and incidents of Felidae not native to Britain but supposed to inhabit the British countryside. These sightings are often reported as \"\"panthers\"\", \"\"pumas\"\", or \"\"black cats\"\". The existence of a population of true big cats in Britain, especially a breeding population, is believed to be highly implausible by experts owing to lack of convincing evidence. There have been some incidents of recovered individual animals, often medium-sized species such as the Eurasian lynx but in one 1980 case a puma, which was captured alive in Scotland. These are generally believed to have been escaped or released pets that had been held illegally, possibly released after the animals became too difficult to manage. [ 1] Sightings at a distance may possibly be explicable as domestic cats seen near to a viewer being misinterpreted as larger animals seen further away. [ 2] [3] [4] In his book Feral George Monbiot argues that humans are programmed to notice things that might be big cats because of the threat they posed in prehistoric times. A fringe theory suggests that the animals may be surviving Ice Age fauna.

"text": "\"Add to My List Edit this Entry Rate it: (4.29 / 14 votes)Translation Find a translation for AFR in other languages: Select another language: Definition What does AFR mean? AFRAFR is a Danish fictional documentary released in 2007, directed by Danish filmmaker Morten Hartz Kaplers, who also appears in the movie. AFR was produced by the Zentropa-producer Meta Louise Foldager. The film uses archival footage, actors, and computer effects to portray an assassination of the Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen, and even before the release received substantial criticism from those who believed the subject was exploitive and in bad taste, and is therefore very similar to the controversial British mockumentary Death of a President which portrays the fictional assassination of the 43rd President of the United States, George W. Bush. The faux documentary broadcast surrounds the Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen and his secret homosexual lover, Emil until the Prime Minister is assassinated. Among the real archival footage there was a clip of Pia Kjærsgaard, who says, \"\" [...]og så var han jo bøsse, det var kendt for enhver\"\". Pia Kjærsgaard has dissociated herself from the use of the clip which origins from a statement to the assassination of the homosexual Dutch politician Pim Fortuyn in 2002. Several other politicians and leaders appear in the movie as well.see more »Embed Click to view: Image source: Embed as image: Embed as a link: Discuss this AFR abbreviation with the community: Citation Use the citation below to add this abbreviation to your bibliography: Style: MLA Chicago APA\"\"AFR.\"\" Abbreviations.com.

Super Bowl I was broadcast by both NBC – the official broadcaster of the AFL- and CBS – the official broadcaster of the NFL and remains the only Super Bowl to have been broadcast live in the United States by two television networks. Considered to be the Holy Grail of sports broadcasts, the CBS and NBC tapes of the game were either lost or recorded over and no full video version of the game has existed…until now. In an exhaustive process that took months to complete, NFL Films searched its enormous archives of footage and were able to locate all 145 plays from Super Bowl I from more than a couple dozen disparate sources. Once all the plays were located, NFL Films was able to put the plays in order and stich them together while fully restoring, re-mastering, and color correcting the footage. Finally, audio from the NBC Sports radio broadcast featuring announcers Jim Simpson and George Ratterman was layered on top of the footage to complete the broadcast. The final result represents the only known video footage of the entire action from Super Bowl 1 and NFL Network will show it to the world for the first time on the 49 th anniversary of the game between the Green Bay Packers and Kansas City Chiefs, January 15. Super Bowl I: The Lost Game will air on Friday, January 15 at 8:00 PM ET on NFL Network. The three-hour program is enhanced with pregame, halftime and postgame segments, modern broadcast graphics and coverage, social media interaction, facts and information, with studio contributors and guests live reaction and storytelling throughout. View: Super Bowl I: The Lost Game promo Host Chris Rose and Steve Mariucci anchor the broadcast and are joined by a plethora of NFL Media talent, such as Terrell Davis, Daniel Jeremiah, Steve Wyche, and Elliot Harrison."

"text": "GENERAL FAQWhat is copyright? How is it different from rules against plagiarism? Copyright is a limited bundle of rights that the Copyright Act grants to authors of original works, such as novels, plays, essays, works of art, and movies. For a limited time (currently, in the United States, the life of the author plus seventy years, in most cases), copyright gives the author/artist control over who can copy, distribute, publicly perform or display, or create derivative works (such as sequels or translations) based on their work. The purpose of copyright is to encourage the creation and dissemination of new works for the benefit of the public. Copyright is a means to the end of increased access to original works. Copyright provides for exclusive rights that prohibit infringement of these rights. Copyright law, therefore, affords protection that is much broader than the norms against plagiarism. Plagiarism is the presentation of someone else’s work as one’s own; copyright infringement can take place even where the user who infringes the copyright is honest about the work’s true author. Unless your use satisfies one of the exceptions or limitations set out in the Copyright Act, you cannot use someone else’s works that are protected by copyright without permission."

A nonprofit corporation with nearly 400 employees, it claims that it has 6.5 million members and supporters, in addition to claiming that it is the largest animal rights group in the world. Its slogan is \"\"Animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, use for entertainment, or abuse in any other way.\"\" [ 4]Founded in March 1980 by Newkirk and fellow animal rights activist Alex Pacheco, the organization first caught the public's attention in the summer of 1981 during what became known as the Silver Spring monkeys case, a widely publicized dispute about experiments conducted on 17 macaque monkeys inside the Institute of Behavioral Research in Silver Spring, Maryland. The case lasted 10 years, involved the only police raid on an animal laboratory in the United States, triggered an amendment in 1985 to that country's Animal Welfare Act, and established PETA as an internationally known organization. [ 5] Today, it focuses on four core issues—opposition to factory farming, fur farming, animal testing, and the use of animals in entertainment. It also campaigns for a vegan lifestyle and against eating meat, fishing, the killing of animals regarded as pests, the keeping of chained backyard dogs, cock fighting, dog fighting, and bullfighting. [ 6]The group has been the focus of controversy, both inside and outside the animal rights movement."

Since it was made of simple, hinged, geometric shapes it was a good choice. Eben Ostby helped him out with the shade and springs. Eventually Ostby and (probably) Bill Reeves fleshed it out for production. John was just doing animation tests with it when Tom Porter stopped by with his newborn son. John was struck by the proportions of an infant: Large head, tiny limbs, and adult-sized eyes. So he left the bulb the same size and scaled down the other pieces to make Luxo, Jr. Permission had to be sought from the manufacturer because it was so on-model, and you can see their credit at the end of the film. And now, the rest of the story."

It stars the first film 's main cast while introducing the character Boba Fett, who would appear in later films. It is one of the first official Star Wars spin-offs and was directed by Steve Binder. In the storyline that ties the special together, Chewbacca and Han Solo visit Kashyyyk, Chewbacca's home world, to celebrate Life Day. They are pursued by agents of the Galactic Empire, who are searching for members of the Rebel Alliance on the planet. The special introduces three members of Chewbacca's family: his father Itchy, his wife Malla, and his son Lumpy, though these names were later explained to have been nicknames, their full names being Attichitcuk, Mallatobuck, and Lumpawarrump, respectively. The program also features many other Star Wars characters, including Luke Skywalker, C-3PO, R2-D2, Darth Vader and Princess Leia (who sings the film's \"\"theme song\"\", set to the music of John Williams ' Star Wars theme, near the end), all of them portrayed by the original actors. The program includes stock footage from Star Wars, [1] and also features a cartoon produced by Toronto -based Nelvana that officially introduces the bounty hunter Boba Fett. Scenes also take place in outer space and in spacecraft including the Millennium Falcon and an Imperial Star Destroyer. The variety-show segments and cartoon also take place in a few other locales, such as a Mos Eisley cantina on the desert planet of Tatooine and a newly introduced red ocean planet known as Panna."

"text": "Floods and Flooding Meteorology Weather What is an areal flood warning?1 Answer Quora User Answered Aug 19, 2015An Areal Flood Warning is normally issued for flooding that develops quite gradually, usually from prolonged and persistent moderate to heavy rainfall. This results in a gradual ponding or buildup of water in low-lying, flood prone areas, as well as small creeks and streams. The flooding normally occurs more than six hours after the rainfall begins (but that depends on the properties of the basin) and may cover a large area. However, even though this type of flooding develops more slowly than a flash flooding, it can still be a threat to life and property.439 Views Related Questions What is an areal flood advisory?

A hazard is an agent which has the potential to cause harm to a vulnerable target. The terms \"\"hazard\"\" and \"\"risk\"\" are often used interchangeably. However, in terms of risk assessment, these are two very distinct terms. A hazard is any agent that can cause harm or damage to humans, property, or the environment. Risk is defined as the probability that exposure to a hazard will lead to a negative consequence, or more simply, a hazard poses no risk if there is no exposure to that hazard. Hazards can be dormant or potential, with only a theoretical probability of harm. An event that is caused by interaction with a hazard is called an incident. The likely severity of the undesirable consequences of an incident associated with a hazard, combined with the probability of this occurring, constitute the associated risk. If there is no possibility of a hazard contributing towards an incident, there is no risk."

"text": "\"Science, Tech, Math ›Science Chance of Rain: Making Sense of Precipitation Forecasts Share Flipboard Email Printgpointstudio/E+/Getty Imagesby Tiffany Means Updated April 09, 2018What's the chance of rain today? It's a very simple question. And while its answer seems equally as simple, most of us misunderstand it without even realizing we do. What \"\"Chance of Rain\"\" Does (and Doesn't) Mean Chance of rain — also known as the chance of precipitation and probability of precipitation (Po Ps) — tells you the likelihood (expressed as a percentage) that a location within your forecast area will see measurable precipitation (at least 0.01 inch) during a specified time period. Let's say tomorrow's forecast says your city has a 30% chance of precipitation. This does not mean... There's a 30% chance it will rain and a 70% chance it won't Three out of 10 times when the weather is similar, it will rain Precipitation will fall 30% of the day (or night)Thirty percent of the forecast area will experience rain, snow, or storms Rather, the correct interpretation would be: there is a 30 percent chance that 0.01 inch (or more) of rain will fall somewhere (at any one or multiple locations) within the forecast area. Po P Adjectives Sometimes a forecast won't mention the percent chance of precipitation outright, but instead, will use descriptive words to suggest it. Whenever you see or hear them, here's how to know what percent that is: Forecast Terminology Po P Precipitation's Areal Coverage-- Less than 20% Drizzle, sprinkle (flurries)Slight chance 20% Isolated Chance 30-50% Scattered Likely 60-70% Numerous Notice that no descriptive words are listed for probabilities of precipitation of 80, 90, or 100 percent. This is because when the chance of rain is this high, it's basically a given that precipitation will occur. Instead, you'll see words like periods of, occasional, or intermittent used, each conveying that precipitation is promised."

"text": "Section 13: Hydrograph Method A hydrograph represents runoff as it varies over time at a particular location within the watershed. The area integrated under the hydrograph represents the volume of runoff. Estimation of a runoff hydrograph, as opposed to the peak rate of runoff, is necessary for watersheds with complex runoff characteristics. The hydrograph method also should be used when storage must be evaluated, as it accounts explicitly for volume and timing of runoff. The hydrograph method has no drainage area size limitation. Figure 4-2 shows that in cases for which a statistical distribution cannot be fitted and a regression equation will not predict adequately the design flow, some sort of empirical or conceptual rainfall-runoff model can be used to predict the design flow. Such application is founded on the principle that the AEP of the computed runoff peak or volume is the same as the AEP of the rainfall used as input to (the boundary condition for) the model. The hydrograph method is applicable for watersheds in which t c is longer than the duration of peak rainfall intensity of the design storm. Precipitation applied to the watershed model is uniform spatially, but varies with time. The hydrograph method accounts for losses (soil infiltration for example) and transforms the remaining (excess) rainfall into a runoff hydrograph at the outlet of the watershed."

"text": "Arctic vs. Antarctic Because the Arctic and Antarctic are cold, dark, and remote, we often think these two places are nearly the same. However, they are quite different. One notable difference is that polar bears live only in the Arctic, and penguins live only in the Antarctic. But what about the differences in sea ice between the two regions? Geography Sea ice differs between the Arctic and Antarctic, primarily because of their different geography. The Arctic is a semi-enclosed ocean, almost completely surrounded by land. As a result, the sea ice that forms in the Arctic is not as mobile as sea ice in the Antarctic. Although sea ice moves around the Arctic basin, it tends to stay in the cold Arctic waters. Floes are more prone to converge, or bump into each other, and pile up into thick ridges. These converging floes makes Arctic ice thicker."

( June 2010) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)The basic symbol of surface roughness Digital Holographic Microscope measuring hip prosthesis roughness Surface roughness often shortened to roughness, is a component of surface texture. It is quantified by the deviations in the direction of the normal vector of a real surface from its ideal form. If these deviations are large, the surface is rough; if they are small, the surface is smooth. In surface metrology, roughness is typically considered to be the high-frequency, short-wavelength component of a measured surface. However, in practice it is often necessary to know both the amplitude and frequency to ensure that a surface is fit for a purpose. Roughness plays an important role in determining how a real object will interact with its environment. In tribology, rough surfaces usually wear more quickly and have higher friction coefficients than smooth surfaces."

Prior to this, a lot of confusion had existed as to whether a megabyte stood for 1 million bytes (10 6) or 1 048 576 bytes (2 20 ). Even so, these new prefixes have yet to be widely adopted and confusion still reigns. The industry-standard abbreviations for the units used to measure the capacity of magnetic (and other) drives are shown in the following table. Standard Abbreviations and Meanings Abbreviation Description Power Value K Kilo 10 31000Ki Kibi 2 101024M Mega 10 61 000 000Mi Mebi 2 201 048 576G Giga 10 91 000 000 000Gi Gibi 2 301 073 741 824T Tera 10 121 000 000 000 000Ti Tebi 2 401 099 511 627 776P Peta 10 151 000 000 000 000 000Pi Pebi 2 501 125 899 906 842 624According to this prefix standard, 1 mebibyte (1 Mi B = 2 20 B = 1 048 576 B) and 1 megabyte (1 MB = 10 6 B = 1 000 000 B) are not equal. Because these prefixes are not in widespread use (and they might never be), M in most cases can indicate both decimal millions of bytes and binary megabytes. Similarly, G is often used to refer to decimal billions of bytes and binary gigabytes. In general, memory values are expressed by using the binary values, although disk capacities can go either way. This often leads to confusion in reporting disk capacities because many manufacturers tend to use whichever value makes their products look better. For example, drive capacities are often rated in decimal billions (G - Giga), whereas most BIOS chips and operating system utilities, such as the Windows FDISK, rate the same drive in binary gigabytes (Gi - Gibi)."

"text": "Mount Rainier National Park Project Summaries Project Summaries | Publications and Products | Partnerships |PN377 - Petroleum in Soil and Ground Water at Longmire, WA, Mount Rainier National Park - Completed FY1994Problem - Longmire, located near the southwest corner of Mount Rainier National Park, is the site of park administrative and concessionaire offices, maintenance and visitor facilities, and employee housing. Many of the approximately 2 million visitors to the park each year stop to utilize the facilities at Longmire during their visit. In 1989, during the course of the removal of an underground waste-oil storage tank near a vehicle and equipment service garage in the maintenance area, soil surrounding the tank was found to be contaminated with an unspecified petroleum product. The tank itself appeared to be in good condition--the only apparent defect was an improperly installed access hole at the top of the tank. Further investigation by the National Park Service consisted of digging five trenches up to 22 feet deep and collecting soil samples for petroleum hydrocarbon analyses. A petroleum product was found at least 120 feet to the northwest of the tank, in a plume estimated to be no more than 50 feet wide. Although the soil surrounding the waste-oil storage tank appears to contain waste oil from the garage, the product found in the trenches smelled of fuel or diesel oil. There are numerous underground fuel-oil storage tanks in the Longmire area--two are within 40 feet of the waste-oil storage tank site. The National Park Service is also concerned that the petroleum product has reached, or may reach, the water table and that the quality of ground and surface water in the area has been or will be adversely affected. Objectives - The objectives of this study are to (1) identify the petroleum product (s) found in the soil, (2) determine the likely source (s) of the product (s), (3) determine the approximate extent of the migration of the product in the soil above the water table, (4) determine the depth to the water table and the direction of ground-water flow, and (5) determine if the product has reached the water table and, if so, the approximate areal extent and the relative magnitude of ground-water contamination."

We’ve received a lot of viewer emails and Facebook posts asking what an areal flood warning is. We’ve been seeing a lot of these lately, so it’s a good question. ( And no, it’s not spelled wrong).‘Areal,’ although it looks like it’s misspelled, is correct in reference to an areal flood warning. Like most meteorological terms, the word has a Latin origin. ( Areal is the adjective form of area and is not the same as ‘aerial’). Technically, we could show an aerial image of an areal flood. That just means it would be a photo taken from the air (more than likely by a plane or satellite) of a large area of flooding…So ‘areal’ and ‘aerial’ are homonyms – they sound the same, but have different meanings. Now that the word areal is understood, here’s what an areal flood warning means."

The terms \"\"hazard\"\" and \"\"risk\"\" are often used interchangeably. However, in terms of risk assessment, these are two very distinct terms. A hazard is any agent that can cause harm or damage to humans, property, or the environment. Risk is defined as the probability that exposure to a hazard will lead to a negative consequence, or more simply, a hazard poses no risk if there is no exposure to that hazard. Hazards can be dormant or potential, with only a theoretical probability of harm. An event that is caused by interaction with a hazard is called an incident. The likely severity of the undesirable consequences of an incident associated with a hazard, combined with the probability of this occurring, constitute the associated risk. If there is no possibility of a hazard contributing towards an incident, there is no risk."

The chapter demonstrates that the means of reducing the impact of natural hazards is now available. The factors that influence susceptibility to vulnerability reduction-the nature of the hazard, the nature of the study area, and institutional factors-are discussed. The core of the chapter explains how to incorporate natural hazard management into the process of integrated development planning, describing the process used by the OAS-Study Design, Diagnosis, Action Proposals, Implementation-and the hazard management activities associated with each phase. The chapter goes on to show how the impact of natural hazards on selected economic sectors can be reduced using energy, tourism, and agriculture as examples."

"text": "What is an Areal Flood Advisory? There are three main types of flood warnings issued by the NWS: Flash flooding – a flood that occurs within 6 hours of excessive rainfall and that poses a threat to life and/or property. Ice jams and dam failures can also cause flash floods. River flooding – any high water flow, overflow, or inundation event which is threatening lives and property along main stem rivers. Areal flooding – any high water flow, overflow, or inundation in a defined area such as a group of counties or an area along a river or stream which threaten lives and property that is not covered by an river flood, or flash flooding. The main difference between flash floods and areal floods is that areal flooding applies to longer duration precipitation, (greater than six hours), causing slow rises on rivers and streams.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Example of a five-day rainfall forecast from the Hydrometeorological Prediction Center The quantitative precipitation forecast (abbreviated QPF) is the expected amount of melted precipitation accumulated over a specified time period over a specified area. [ 1] A QPF will be created when precipitation amounts reaching a minimum threshold are expected during the forecast's valid period. Valid periods of precipitation forecasts are normally synoptic hours such as 0000, 0600, 1200 and 1800 GMT. Terrain is considered in QPFs by use of topography or based upon climatological precipitation patterns from observations with fine detail. Starting in the mid-to-late 1990s, QPFs were used within hydrologic forecast models to simulate impact to rivers throughout the United States. Forecast models show significant sensitivity to humidity levels within the planetary boundary layer, or in the lowest levels of the atmosphere, which decreases with height. [ 2] QPF can be generated on a quantitative, forecasting amounts, or a qualitative, forecasting the probability of a specific amount, basis. [ 3] Radar imagery forecasting techniques show higher skill than model forecasts within 6 to 7 hours of the time of the radar image. The forecasts can be verified through use of rain gauge measurements, weather radar estimates, or a combination of both. Various skill scores can be determined to measure the value of the rainfall forecast."

These trees typically occur as scattered individuals, or in small groves. The classification code PF06F represents a mixed class and is only used in areas where broad-leaved and needle-leaved deciduous trees cannot be distinguished on aerial photography; for example, where bald cypress and water tupelo trees are growing together in approximately equal numbers.

Maltose, Sucrose, Lactose - They're all disaccharides which apparently means that they are made up of glucose molecules. As the word di-saccharide itself states that it's composed of two monosaccharides. Disaccharides are sugars and so are monosaccharides. These three sugars mentioned above have different components. Maltose is composed of two molecules of glucose. Sucrose is composed of one molecule of glucose and another of fructose (fructose is a monosaccharide).

"text": "\"What is Arestin ®? Arestin ® is a prescription product approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). It is an effective antibiotic used to treat periodontal (gum) disease. The antibiotic comes in powder form and is placed inside infected periodontal pockets after a deep cleaning procedure. How does Arestin® work? Deep cleaning is effective at removing plaque buildup, but it doesn't eliminate all the bacteria that cause gum disease. The instruments used to perform a deep cleaning cannot always reach the bacteria that reside at the bottom of deep or difficult-to-reach periodontal pockets. When necessary, a dental professional may use Arestin ® in combination with deep cleaning to kill off all of the harmful bacteria. Arestin ® powder contains \"\"Microspheres\"\", which are tiny, bead-like particles that are smaller than grains of sand and are not visible to the eye. The Microspheres are filled with the antibiotic minocycline (a broad-spectrum, tetracycline antibiotic)."

( verify)Minocycline is a broad-spectrum tetracycline antibiotic, and has a broader spectrum than the other members of the group. It is a bacteriostatic antibiotic, classified as a long-acting type. As a result of its long half-life it generally has serum levels 2–4 times that of the simple water-soluble tetracyclines. Minocycline is the most lipid-soluble of the tetracycline-class antibiotics, giving it the greatest penetration into the prostate and brain, but also the greatest amount of central nervous system (CNS)-related side effects, such as vertigo. A common side effect is diarrhea. Uncommon side effects (with prolonged therapy) include skin discolouration and autoimmune disorders that are not seen with other drugs in the class. Minocycline is a relatively poor tetracycline-class antibiotic choice for urinary pathogens sensitive to this antibiotic class, as its solubility in water and levels in the urine are less than all other tetracyclines. Minocycline is metabolized by the liver and has poor urinary excretion. Minocycline was patented in 1961 and came into commercial use in 1971. ["

In what ways does a long exposition differ from a stage direction? A long exposition differs from a typical stage direction because a stage direction is usually brief. An exposition, however, goes into more detail. A stage direction also just usually tells the setting or where or what the character is doing, or how the stage looks."

"text": "Home > Dental Care Products > Best Toothpaste Brands > Best Toothpaste For Gum Disease Best Toothpaste for Gum Disease The best toothpaste for gum disease is one that is non abrasive and contains one or more ingredients to decrease harmful bacteria that cause gum disease. Low abrasivity is important because those with gum disease are more likely to have receded gums. When gums recede, root surfaces are exposed and are more vulnerable to erosion from abrasive toothpaste. Bacteria fighting ingredients will decrease plaque. With less plaque on your teeth, your gums will stay healthier. Colgate Total Colgate Total is one that fills both of the above criteria With a relative dentinal abrasively score of 70, it is gentle and non abrasive. Colgate also contains triclosan which has antibacterial properties. Crest Pro Health Crest Pro Health toothpaste is another possibility, While it has a higher RDA score of 189, it contains stannous fluoride, another bacteria decreasing ingredient. Because Crest Pro Health is significantly more abrasive, my first choice is Colgate Total. RDA (Relative dentinal abrasivity) score is one way to compare toothpastes."

Follow 8 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Yes, salt water does kill bacteria (yes, regular table salt can be used, but you'd have to use a lot). Unfortunately, it won't really help with the Periodontal disease, because it's usually too far advanced - you probably have bone loss that can't be reversed, although i suppose it could kind help it from getting worse by reducing the inflammation. That said, I've looked at dental websites and I don't see any recommendation to use saltwater as a means to help with periodontal disease - all I see are recommendations to use it after root planing."

D. A. M. Medications Antibiotics are often used in combination with surgery, curettage, or alone to eliminate or prevent disease-causing bacteria after periodontal procedures. They are being investigated in oral forms as well as in topical forms that are applied directly to the gum. Increasingly, dental professionals are finding that local application of antibiotics is more effective than periodontal surgery alone. They may even prove to be an alternative to surgery. Some experts are concerned, however, that long-term use of antibiotics increases the risk of bacterial resistance to these drugs, which is a growing health problem in general. Of some encouragement was a 2000 review, which indicated that low-dose antibiotics do not increase the risk of bacterial resistance. However, long-term studies are still needed Oral Antibiotics at Standard Doses Antibiotics given orally and at standard doses have some limited applications for periodontal disease. They are typically given for an acute infection. Long-term use of antibiotics is advised for the control of juvenile periodontitis, refractory periodontitis, rapidly progressing periodontitis, and prepubertal periodontitis. Specific antibiotics used in periodontal disease include: Tetracycline antibiotics -- which include tetracycline hydrochloride, doxycycline, and minocycline -- are the primary drugs used."

I have been using a protocol of scaling and root planning and improved oral hygiene and my impression is that this has worked well in my practice. My periodontist has been using Arestin therapy with great success in treating acute periodontal abscesses. I have referred over patients with this and all he usually does is inject some Arestin into the abscess. He claims that in many cases, this is all that is needed for treatment to reduce the acute symptoms. If this is true, then I might as well start injecting the Arestin in my office and skip the referral. What are your thoughts on this?76 thoughts on “ Arestin: Will This Cut Down on Referrals? ” jerry drury says: Arestin does not remove subgingival calculus. If you are very skillful with scaling and root planing, I believe you will not see clinical differences with or without."

"text": "\"Oral Irrigation October 1, 2003by Denise Parker, RDHRecently, there has been a renewed interest in oral irrigation. Numerous studies have supported the hypothesis that daily irrigation with a pulsed water-jet device improves oral health. Maximum benefit appears to be achieved with initial to moderate periodontal patients whose traditional mechanical methods of oral hygiene may be less than ideal. There have also been studies evaluating the efficacy of different antimicrobial agents added to the irrigation unit's reservoir. These studies have met with varying results, and the literature will be examined to determine current recommendations and expected clinical outcomes. Another area of research is the professional delivery of antimicrobial agents. The most promising agents and techniques for delivering antimicrobial agents in the dental office will be reviewed to enable the clinician to make informed decisions regarding patient therapy. In 1962, the Waterpik® oral irrigator was introduced as a homecare aid to help with removal of plaque and debris. Early studies showed a reduction in gingivitis but not in the plaque (biofilm) index. This led to confusion as clinicians felt that if plaque was not mechanically removed, then the Waterpik oral irrigator was not an effective homecare device."

"text": "\"Science, Tech, Math ›Animals and Nature The 20 Biggest Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Reptiles Share Flipboard Email Print Elena Duvernay/Stocktrek Imagesby Bob Strauss Updated October 12, 2017Identifying the biggest dinosaurs that ever lived isn't as easy a task as you might think: sure, these giant beasts left giant fossils, but it's very rare to unearth a complete skeleton (tiny, bite-sized dinosaurs tend to fossilize all at once, but lumbering giants like Argentinosaurus can often only be identified by a single, massive neckbone). On the following slides, you'll find the biggest dinosaurs, according to the current state of research—as well as the biggest pterosaurs, crocodiles, snakes and turtles.01of 20Biggest Herbivorous Dinosaur - Argentinosaurus (100 Tons)Math Knight and Zachi Evenor / Wikimedia Commons / CC BY-SA 3.0Although paleontologists claim to have identified bigger dinosaurs, Argentinosaurus is the largest whose size has been backed up by convincing evidence. This gigantic titanosaur (named after Argentina, where its remains were discovered in 1986) measured about 120 feet from head to tail and may have weighed almost100 tons. Just one vertebra of Argentinosaurus is over four feet thick! ( Other, less-well-attested contenders for the \"\"biggest dinosaur\"\" title include Futalognkosaurus, Bruhathkayosaurus and Amphicoelias; a new contender, still unnamed and about 130 feet long, was recently discovered in Argentina. ) 02of 20Biggest Carnivorous Dinosaur - Spinosaurus (10 Tons)Mike Bowler from Canada / Wikimedia Commons / CC BY 2.0You probably thought the winner in this category would be Tyrannosaurus Rex, but it's now believed that Spinosaurus (which had a huge, crocodile-like snout and a sail of skin sprouting from its back) was slightly heavier, weighing as much as 10 tons. And not only was Spinosaurus big, but it was agile as well: recent evidence points to it being the world's first identified swimming dinosaur. ( By the way, some experts insist that the biggest meat-eater was the South American Giganotosaurus, which may have matched, and occasionally even outclassed, its northern African cousin. ) 03of 20Biggest Raptor - Utahraptor (1,500 Pounds)Wilson44691 / Wikimedia Commons Ever since its starring role in Jurassic Park, Velociraptor gets all the press, but this chicken-sized carnivore was positively anemic next to Utahraptor, which weighed in at a whopping 1,500 pounds (and was a full 20 feet long). Oddly, Utahraptor lived tens of millions of years before its more famous (and smaller) cousin, a reversal of the general evolutionary rule that tiny progenitors evolve into plus-sized descendants."

It was a bipedal predator weighing more than two tons as an adult. Living in a lush floodplain environment, it was an apex predator preying upon abundant ceratopsids and hadrosaurs.24Dracorexprimeval-fanon.wikia.com Living in the Late Cretaceous period, Dracorex was a herbivorous dinosaur characterized with spiky horns, bumps, and a long muzzle. The best preserved fossil specimen was discovered in South Dakota by three amateur paleontologists in 2004. The specimen was most likely a young adult, approximately 10 feet long.23Triceratopswww.dinosaurfact.net Triceratops is a genus of herbivorous dinosaur that first appeared during late Cretaceous period, about 68 million years ago in what is now North America.

Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. This depends on what you mean. If it's the biggest brain of any dinosaur period, then T. rex's five-foot-long head houses the largest brain: around the size of a human's. Of course, this isn't saying to much: we have a three pound brain for a five-foot, 200 pound body whilst T. rex has a three pound brain for a 45-foot, five-ton body. That alone brings its intelligence down some. If you're seeking for the smartest dinosaur- with the biggest brain-to-body ratio- then look no further than the Troodonts. ( say: tru-oh-dawnts) These were small, lightweight dinosaurs with long, stiff tails and recurved claws on its feet, much like a raptor. This one, however, was slightly smaller than the average raptor and was much slenderer."

Answer by Lord of the Allosaurs Confidence votes 217Although Argentinosaurus is twice as long as the blue whale, it only weighs half as much. that's wrong dude, Argentinosaurus was about 30-35 m long and weight 80-100 tonns, the blue whale is also around 30 m some have reach more and they weigh about 170-190 tonns so Argentinosaurus is NOT twice as long Actually both of you are wrong. Argentinosaurus weighs around 73 tons based on recent estimates, while 190 tons is nowhere near average; closer to 120-150 tons. Also Argentinosaurus is not the largest dinosaur; that title probably goes to Amphicoelias fragillimus at 122.4 tons. Even ignoring Amphicoelias, Argentinosaurus still probably does not weigh as much as the 80-85 ton Puertasaurus, though that is a matter of debate.1 person found this useful Was this answer useful?

"text": "\"The word big does not do justice to a massive, long-necked dinosaur that shook the Earth in Argentina about 77 million years ago. Try colossal, enormous, gargantuan and stupendous — and you might come close to an accurate description of this behemoth, known to scientists as Dreadnoughtus schrani. ' We thought it was time a plant-eating dinosaur got a badass name. '- Matt Lamanna, Carnegie Museum of Natural History Scientists on Thursday announced the discovery in southern Patagonia of remarkably complete and well-preserved fossil remains of the dinosaur, which weighed 59,300 kilograms and measured 26 metres long with a neck 11.3 metres long and a tail 8.7 metres long. Paleontologist Kenneth Lacovara of Drexel University in Philadelphia, who discovered the dinosaur and led the effort for its excavation and analysis, said the scientists calculated its weight on the basis of the bones in its upper arm and thigh.7 times more massive than T. rex Dreadnoughtus weighed more than an adult sperm whale or a herd of African elephants. Tipping the scales at seven times as much as the dinosaur T. rex, it made the North American menace that also lived during the Cretaceous Period look puny. Scientists found 45 per cent of the skeleton of Dreadnoughtus, including most of the important bones. Drexeul University paleontologist Kenneth Lacovara poses here with the dinosaur's right tibia or shin-bone. ( Kenneth Lacovara )Dreadnoughtus had \"\"the largest reliably calculable weight\"\" of any known land animal — dinosaur or otherwise, Lacovara said. Another giant Argentine dinosaur, Argentinosaurus, might have been larger, he said, but its scant remains do not allow a reliable weight estimate."

The backbone found at Whitby represents the earliest skeletal record of this type of dinosaur from the UK. Photograph: Jason Poole/University of Manchester/PAExperts say they have identified Britain’s oldest sauropod dinosaur from a fossil bone discovered on the North Yorkshire coast. The dinosaur backbone – which dates back about 176m years to the Middle Jurassic period – was found on a beach at Whitby after it fell out of a cliff face. It represents the earliest skeletal record of this type of dinosaur from the UK and adds to existing evidence from Yorkshire dinosaur tracks that the creatures once roamed freely across this part of the country, say researchers at the University of Manchester. Sauropods include some of the largest plant-eating dinosaurs that have existed and were a successful group for nearly 150m years. They possessed distinctive long necks and tails, small heads, a large body and walked on all fours. Some species, such as the Argentinosaurus, grew up to 115ft (35 metres) long and possibly weighed as much as 80 tonnes. The fossil is said to be an extremely rare find, given that the Middle Jurassic rocks of the world are exposed in very few areas, although dinosaur fossils of a similar age have been found in China and Latin America. Prof Phil Manning and his team from the University of Manchester used x-ray tomography to study the fossil bone, which is now held in the collections at the Yorkshire Museum in York."

Its gigantic bones were found by a local farm worker in a desert in Patagonia, the southern Argentine region that has yielded many important dinosaur discoveries. Based on the size of the thigh bones – taller than an average man – the dinosaur would have been 130 feet long and 65ft tall, scientists said. Its calculated 77-tonne weight would have made it as heavy as 14 African elephants, beating the previous record holder, Argentinosaurus, by some seven tonnes.

The bones were initially discovered a year ago in the desert near La Flecha, about 135 miles west of the Patagonian town of Trelew, and were this week excavated by a team of palaeontologists from Argentina’s Museum of Palaeontology Egidio Feruglio, headed by Dr Jose Luis Carballido and Dr Diego Pol. They have retrieved some 150 bones said to come from seven individuals, all in “remarkable condition”. “Given the size of these bones, which surpass any of the previously known giant animals, the new dinosaur is the largest animal known to have walked on Earth,” the researchers told BBC News. “Its length, from its head to the tip of its tail, was 40 metres. “Standing with its neck up, it was about 20 metres high – equal to a seven-storey building."

"text": "Last Re-Examined on 20th Oct 2001Its one of the ultimate questions - What was the largest creature ever to walk the earth? The answer is certainly a dinosaur, and certainly a sauropod. Depending on how accurate current estimates are, a sauropod might even be the largest creature ever to have existed, perhaps beating the Blue Whale's record of 103 feet and weight of +175 tons (although some say 110 feet). Please understand that for the reasons detailed, this is not an exact science! Argentinasaurus is probably the biggest dinosaur truly known but there are possible challengers to the title, however Bruhathkayosaurus might be vegetable and Supersaurus has gone to pieces!Bruhathkayosaurus? 44 m 144 ft Titanosaur Using the humerotibial ratio of Aegyptosaurus, we can estimate Bruhath-kayosaurus' humerus was 2.34 meters long. This is 30% larger than estimatated for Argentinosaurus (1.81 m) and 39% larger than Paralititan (1.69 m). Tibia length was 29% larger than that of Argentinosaurus (1.55 m). Based on the estimated mass Bruhathkayosaurus may have weighed 175-220 tons. There is difficulty in establishing the identity of the animal from what remains and Dinosauricon goes as far as to suggest that there is no certainty that it is even animalian."

"text": "\"When people think about the largest animals that ever lived, dinosaurs are often the first thing to come to mind. It might come as a surprise that the largest animal ever recorded still lives today, although it is on the endangered species list. Others were indeed prehistoric creatures that would have dwarfed today's largest land animal, the African elephant, weighing about 14,000 pounds. Blue Whale By far, the largest animal known to exist either today or throughout history is the blue whale. Historically, these giant marine mammals reached up to 100 feet in length and weighed up to 150 tons. These days, thanks to whale hunters targeting the larger members of the species, blue whales generally only grow up to about 80 feet in length. As newborns, these whales start out around 25 feet in length. Nursing calves can drink up to 100 gallons of milk each day. Argentinosaurus The skeleton of the largest known land-dwelling herbivore, the Argentinosaurus, was discovered in Argentina in 1988. This 100 million-year-old dinosaur stood about six stories tall and stretched 120 feet long from its head to the tip of its long tail."

"text": "\"Tweet Dinosaurs and Humans—Together?by Eric Lyons, M. Min. Bert Thompson, Ph. D. Why is it so difficult for people to accept that dinosaurs and humans once lived together? No doubt one of the reasons is due to the fact that for many years, we have been inundated with information—on television, in books, in classrooms, in movies, in magazines, and on all sorts of paraphernalia—suggesting that dinosaurs and humans are separated by 60+ million years of geologic time. Thus, evolutionary scientists (and those who accept their timeline) have constructed a barrier that must be broken down in order to get people to consider the coexistence of dinosaurs and humans. A second reason why people are uneasy about the idea of dinosaurs and humans living contemporaneously on Earth is that in the twenty-first century, mankind is accustomed to thinking that almost all dinosaurs were enormous killing machines. Geologist John Clayton has suggested, for example: (1) “It is ludicrous to suggest that man cohabited with the dinosaurs in an Alley Oop kind of world” (1991, p. 37); and (2) “Man could not have lived in a world full of dinosaurs, so by the time God created Adam the dinosaurs were gone” (1990, p. 14). People apparently seem to think that dinosaurs would have killed all of the humans by biting them in half with their super-sized teeth, or by hunting them down and cutting them open with five-inch long, sickle-like claws. People think that the large plant eaters would have crushed humans with their massive feet, or smashed them with their huge tails. Humans are just too small, dumb, and scrawny to have lived during the time of the dinosaurs."

The holotype specimen's (MUCPv-Ch1) skeleton was about 70% complete and included the skull, pelvis, leg bones and most of the backbone. It is estimated about 6.8 tonnes (7.5 tons) in weight, 3.48 meters (11.4 feet) tall at the hip and 12.4 meters (41 ft) in length. A second specimen (MUCPv-95), was estimated at 6,5–8% larger. This larger Giganotosaurus specimen was estimated to represent an individual 13.2 m (43 ft) long that weighed about 8.2 tonnes (9 tons).

( Cope, 1878)Amphicoelias (/ˌæmfᵻˈsiːliəs/, meaning \"\"biconcave\"\", from the Greek αμφι, amphi: \"\"on both sides\"\", and κοιλος, koilos: \"\"hollow, concave\"\") is a genus of herbivorous sauropod dinosaur. It includes what has sometimes been estimated to be the largest dinosaur specimen ever discovered, originally named \"\"A. fragillimus\"\". Based on surviving descriptions of a single fossil bone, scientists had over the years estimated A. fragillimus to have been the longest known animal with a length of at 58 metres (190 ft) in length, with potentially a mass of up to 122.4 tonnes (134.9 short tons). However, because the only fossil remains were lost at some point after being studied and described in the 1870s, evidence survived only in drawings and field notes. More recent analysis of the surviving evidence, and the biological plausibility of such a large land animal, has suggested that the enormous size of this animal were over-estimates due partly to typographical errors in the original 1878 description. [ 1]Contents [ show]Description The type species of Amphicoelias, A. altus, was named by paleontologist Edward Drinker Cope in December 1877 (though not published until 1878) for an incomplete skeleton consisting of two vertebrae, a pubis (hip bone), and a femur (upper leg bone). [ 2] Cope also named a second species, A. fragillimus, in the same paper. However, all subsequent researchers have considered A. fragillimus to be a synonym of A. altus. [ 3] Even by 1881 however, it was recognized that A. altus could not be distinguished from other genera, as the features described by Cope were misinterpreted and are widespread. ["

"text": "Mamenchisaurus and other sauropods are some of the largest dinosaurs known. Photo by Junko Kimura/Getty Images In 1841, in the early days of paleontology, the notoriously cantankerous anatomist Richard Owen, the man who would later coin the term “dinosaur,” stood before his colleagues at the Geological Society of London to announce the discovery of an enormous extinct reptile. The monster was represented by only a smattering of fossilized bone, but Owen nevertheless ascertained that the animal’s tail bones “equaled in dimensions a middle caudal vertebra of a full-sized whale. ”Owen’s name for the creature— Cetiosaurus, the “whale lizard”—played up the creature’s gargantuan size, and scientific showman that he sometimes was, Owen left the assembled scientists with the idea “that the surpassing bulk and strength of the Cetiosaurus were probably assigned to it with carnivorous habits, that it might keep in check the Crocodilians and Plesiosauri” that swam the same Jurassic seas. Advertisement Owen was almost totally wrong in his initial description, but I can’t blame him. The more-complete skeletons that would show Cetiosaurus to be a one of the long-necked, herbivorous, heavy-bodied sauropods hadn’t yet been found. At least the name is still on the mark. An adult Cetiosaurus was as long as a mature male sperm whale, around 52 feet. Other sauropods grew even larger than that. Supersaurus, Argentinosaurus, and Diplodocus were the largest creatures to ever walk the Earth, stretching more than 100 feet from their pencil-like teeth to their sinuous tails."

The singer and Ricky were caught kissing and that’s all anyone could talk about but upon further inspection it appears the reason they were laughing so much was because they were tampering with the doughnuts on the counter as a practical joke. “ Yes, I’m upset,” Wolfee Donuts owner Joe Marin tells us. “ We sold those by accident to other people and didn’t catch it until hours later. ”Error setting up player: Invalid license key The 24-hour doughnut store is a favorite among locals and they pride themselves on their savory treats, so Joe was absolutely horrified when he watched the tapes back and saw Ariana and Ricky “licking and spitting” on three doughnuts before putting them back on the counter. “"

Considered a teen idol by many, she released her debut album, Yours Truly in 2013. Inspired by the works of Mariah Carey and Christina Aguilera, it produced three charting singles, one of which included The Way, which was a collaboration with Mac Miller. More successful than she had anticipated, the project debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 with over 138,000 copies sold in the first week. In support of the album, the singer later embarked on her first concert tour which kicked off in July 2013. A year after her debut, her popularity peaked again with the release of her second album, My Everything. Made available that summer, it shot to the top of multiple record charts including those in the US, Canada, Norway, Belgium, and Australia. More “mature” than her previous album, the tracklist included the songs, Just a Little Bit of Your Heart, Hands on ME (Feat. A$AP Ferg), Love Me Harder (with The Weekend), One Last Time, and Problem (Feat. Iggy Azalea)."

Nevertheles, it is always good to know the small things about your favorite artists. It matters since you will then easily identify with them. But the truth is that most of us only love the music and movies of our beloved stars and never bother to know much about their past and roots. Ariana is a great talent that has featured both in the music and acting arena. She’s become a phenomenal performer and apart from knowing all her sound word by word, I also feel that you should know about her true ethnicity. Not that this is very important but getting acquainted with someone whose music you can’t stop listening is more justified than just ignoring it. Ariana’s family tree After searching for her roots, Ariana came publicly to declare that she has an Italian ancestry. DNA is such a great thing that you can always know your ethnicity no matter how scattered it may be. Specifically, she is half-Abruzzese and half-Sicilian."

( Timothy Hiatt / Getty)Ariana Grande is one of the biggest names in pop music. For those who haven't been paying attention, it might seem like she came out of nowhere and rocketed into the national spotlight. And indeed, with two albums in two years, Grande's ascent to pop stardom was swift. However, the singer is now under fire for being an unpatriotic doughnut licker. Here's a recap of her career thus far.1) Who is Ariana Grande? Ariana Grande (pronounced grahn-day) is a 22-year-old actress turned singer-songwriter. She is known for her hit songs \"\" The Way \"\" and \"\" Problem .\"\" She's 5 feet tall, she (almost) has the lungs of Mariah Carey, and she opened for Justin Bieber after her debut album launched.2) Is that her real name?

"text": "\"A year ago, everyone was worried about Mac Miller. In May 2014, a few months after splitting from Rostrum Records, the hometown indie that helped make him a star, the 23-year-old Pittsburgh rapper self-released the mixtape Faces, which chronicled his depression and how “a drug habit like Philip Hoffman will probably put me in a coffin,” mentioning cocaine, codeine cough syrup and even angel dust. Mac Miller Releases New Song, Signs Massive Deal with Warner It was a disquieting turn for a rapper with an amazing highlight reel after just a few years in music. His carefree 2012 debut, Blue Slide Park, became the first independently distributed album to top the Billboard 200 in 17 years. He appeared on Ariana Grande ’s 2013 breakout single, “The Way”; had a hilariously weird reality show, MTV2’s Mac Miller and the Most Dope Family; and beefed with Donald Trump before it became passe (in 2013, the current presidential candidate, who the rapper named a single after, called him an “ungrateful dog” on Twitter). But on a recent August day in New York, Miller seems downright giddy. He’s playing music from his decidedly sunnier new album, Good A. M., the result of a reported $10 million deal he signed with Warner Bros. last October. He has new management, The Clancys ( Odd Future, Solange ), and a new home base in Brooklyn’s Dumbo neighborhood, where he moved from Los Angeles just days prior with his on-again, off-again girlfriend of seven years. Miller insists he’s in a better place. “ I’m just being a human being again,” he says. “"

"text": "Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU)Definition - What does Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU)mean? An arithmetic logic unit (ALU) is a major component of the central processing unit of a computer system. It does all processes related to arithmetic and logic operations that need to be done on instruction words. In some microprocessor architectures, the ALU is divided into the arithmetic unit (AU) and the logic unit (LU). An ALU can be designed by engineers to calculate any operation. As the operations become more complex, the ALU also becomes more expensive, takes up more space in the CPU and dissipates more heat. That is why engineers make the ALU powerful enough to ensure that the CPU is also powerful and fast, but not so complex as to become prohibitive in terms of cost and other disadvantages. An arithmetic logic unit is also known as an integer unit (IU). Techopedia explains Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU)The arithmetic logic unit is that part of the CPU that handles all the calculations the CPU may need. Most of these operations are logical in nature."

Inside this box are many electronic components that process information. The most important of these components is the central processing unit (CPU), or microprocessor, which acts as the \"\"brain\"\" of your computer. Another component is random access memory (RAM), which temporarily stores information that the CPU uses while the computer is on. The information stored in RAM is erased when the computer is turned off.5."

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

Such a division can be formally expressed as a /0 where a is the dividend (numerator). In ordinary arithmetic, the expression has no meaning, as there is no number which, multiplied by 0, gives a (assuming a ≠0), and so division by zero is undefined.

Albert Einstein Konrad Zuse—the first relay computer During his study of civil engineering in the Technical College of Berlin Charlottenburg (Technischen Hochschule) Konrad Zuse ( biography of Konrad Zuse) faced a serious problem, while studying the construction of buildings and roads. This type of constructions require solving of huge systems of linear equations, which was very hard to be done by means of a logarithmic rule or even mechanical calculator of this time. Zuse recalled later: I was a student in civil engineering in Berlin. Berlin is a nice town and there were many opportunities for a student to spend his time in an agreeable manner, for instance with the nice girls. But instead of that we had to perform big and awful calculations. Some time in 1934 the young Kuno (as his friends called him) started thinking about computers. After the graduation from the Technical College in 1935, he started as a design engineer at the Henschel Flugzeugwerke (Henschel aircraft factory) in Berlin-Schönefeld, but resigned a year later, deciding to devote entirely to the construction of a computer. Kuno arranged a workshop in the apartment of his parents and decided to devote entirely to the construction of the computer. Initially he was helped not only by his parents, who allowed him to use the largest room of their apartment as a workshop, and gave him some money (although his father was a post office clerk and didn't have much money), but also by his sister Lieselotte, and several of his fellow-students and friends."

He is widely known for his Incompleteness Theorems, which are among the handful of landmark theorems in twentieth century mathematics, but his work touched every field of mathematical logic, if it was not in most cases their original stimulus. In his philosophical work Gödel formulated and defended mathematical Platonism, the view that mathematics is a descriptive science, or alternatively the view that the concept of mathematical truth is objective. On the basis of that viewpoint he laid the foundation for the program of conceptual analysis within set theory (see below). He adhered to Hilbert's “original rationalistic conception” in mathematics (as he called it); [ 1] and he was prophetic in anticipating and emphasizing the importance of large cardinals in set theory before their importance became clear.1.

Of course, the processor, also called the CPU or Central Processing Unit, is an important part of a functioning system, but it isn’t the only one.

Processor or the CPU is like the brain of the computer system. It is responsible for all the core functions such as arithmetical, logical and control operations. A traditional processor such as a Pentium processor has only one core inside the processor, but modern processors are multi-core processors. A multi-core processor has several cores inside the processor package where a core is the most basic computational unit of a processor. A core can execute only one program instruction at a time (can execute several if hyper-threading capability is available) but a processor which is made of several cores can execute several instructions simultaneously depending on the number of cores. What is a Processor? Processor that is also known as the Central Processing Unit (CPU) is the most important part of a computer system which is responsible for executing program instructions. These instructions involve arithmetical, logical, control and input-output operations.

In this diagram, the computing architecture uses the same address space and data primitive for both pointers and non-pointers; this need not be the case. In computer science, a pointer is a programming language object, whose value refers to (or \"\" points to\"\") another value stored elsewhere in the computer memory using its memory address. A pointer references a location in memory, and obtaining the value stored at that location is known as dereferencing the pointer. As an analogy, a page number in a book's index could be considered a pointer to the corresponding page; dereferencing such a pointer would be done by flipping to the page with the given page number and reading the text found on the indexed page. Pointers to data significantly improve performance for repetitive operations such as traversing strings, lookup tables, control tables and tree structures. In particular, it is often much cheaper in time and space to copy and dereference pointers than it is to copy and access the data to which the pointers point. Pointers are also used to hold the addresses of entry points for called subroutines in procedural programming and for run-time linking to dynamic link libraries (DLLs). In object-oriented programming, pointers to functions are used for binding methods, often using what are called virtual method tables. A pointer is a simple, more concrete implementation of the more abstract referencedata type."

Software that has been written for an ISA can run on different implementations of the same ISA. This has enabled binary compatibility between different generations of computers to be easily achieved, and the development of computer families.

If the bow has too long of a draw length and the person will be outstretched, holding arm locked; pushing arrows to that side during the shot. Too short of a draw and you will over stress the holding arm’s elbow while the drawing arm fights to settle in to its anchoring point. How to find your draw length There are many different methods on how to calculate your draw length. One method is to use a draw length tool which is a recurve bow with a permanently attached measurement arrow. The archer draws back the arrow while someone checks to see what the measurement is at the front of the arrow rest/riser. This is a decent method if the archers form is perfect. We prefer the wingspan method. The wingspan method is a method that doesn’t take form into consideration and is normally right in the ballpark of the proper draw length.

"text": "The Basics of Stroked Engines and How to Build One Just what is a stroker anyway? A stroker is an engine with increased or decreased stroke. By increasing an stroke (the distance the piston travels in the cylinder bore), we gain displacement. By the same token, when we decrease an engine’s stroke, we reduce the distance the piston travels in the bore. This changes when and how the engine makes power. Short-stroke engines like high RPM, where they make the most torque. Our focus here is more about increasing stroke in order to achieve greater amounts of torque and horsepower. Stroking an engine does more than just increase displacement. It increases torque by giving the engine more of an internal mechanical advantage. When we increase stroke, we increase the engine’s crankshaft arm or lever, which makes the most of a combustion cycle."

The fact the you don't know what it its, is evidence that it's not for you. Interest only is a non-amortizing loan. Most interest only loans are for a set period of 10 years, this means that for the first 10 years, you only pay the interest, so after 10 years on a 300K loan, you will still owe 300K. Why would one do this? Well, back when homes were appreciating at 8% a year, it made sense to do it and make the minimum payment and have appreciation build equity, while investing the savings elsewhere. Today, it does not make a whole lot of sense except to a very specialized group of people. Don't do a 5/1 interest only, you probably should not do a fully amortized 5/1 either unless you know exactly what you are doing."

"text": "\"What Does It Mean When a Car Has \"\"Wishbone\"\" Suspension?by Doug Couchman on November 17, 2015Share Tweet Pin Designers of automotive suspension systems must consider many factors, including the cost, weight, and compactness of the suspension and the handling characteristics they wish to achieve. No design is perfect at achieving all of these objectives but several basic design types have stood the test of time: Double wishbone, also known as A-arm Mac Pherson strut Multi-link Swing arm or trailing arm Swing axle Solid axle (also called live axle) designs, usually using leaf springs All of the designs listed above are independent suspension systems, meaning that each wheel can move independently of the others, with the exception of the solid axle design. Double wishbone suspension One suspension design that is common on high-performance cars is the double wishbone. In a double wishbone suspension, each wheel is attached to the vehicle by way of two control arms (also known as A-arms). These two control arms are roughly triangular in shape, this shape gives rise to the names “A-arm” and “double wishbone” suspension. The wheel assembly is attached to each control arm at what would be the top of the A formed by each control arm (though the arms are usually approximately parallel to the ground, so this “top” isn’t actually on top); each arm is attached to the vehicle’s frame at the base of the A. As the wheel rises and falls (because of bumps or body roll, for example), each control arm pivots on two bushings or ball joints at its base; there is also a bushing or ball joint at the attachment of each arm to the wheel assembly. What a wishbone suspension is used for A typical double wishbone suspension features control arms that are somewhat different lengths, and often the angles of the two when the car is at rest differs as well. By carefully choosing the relationship between the upper and lower control arms’ lengths and angles, automotive engineers can modify the car’s ride and handling. It is possible, for example, to set up a double wishbone suspension so that the car will maintain approximately correct camber (the tilt of the wheel inward or outward) even when the wheel is going over a bump or the car is leaned over in a hard turn; no other common suspension type is as good at keeping the wheels angled properly to the road and thus this suspension design is common on performance cars like Ferraris and sporty sedans such as the Acura RLX. The double wishbone design is also the suspension of choice for open-wheel racecars like those that race in Formula 1 or at Indianapolis; on many such cars the control arms are readily visible as they extend from the body to the wheel assembly."

Your Easy-to-Follow Visual Guide If you’re dressing on a budget, one of the most popular pieces of advice out there is to buy off-the-rack suits in the best fit you can get, and then take them to a tailor for custom adjustments. That’s good advice. You’ll find it in several articles right here on the Art of Manliness. But if you’re really going to get any benefit out of having your suits adjusted, you need to know a little bit about tailors and the kinds of adjustments they can (and can’t) make. You also need to know what a “good” fit actually looks like. Tailors vary in skill and in how they communicate the work they’re doing, so getting a suit adjusted is only going to deliver a good return if you can make your exact needs clear. Below, we give you an easy-to-follow rundown on how your suit should fit. What a “Good Fit” Looks Like Can you guess which man had his suit tailored to fit? When you try on a suit, you’re looking for a good fit in what’s called your “natural stance."

"text": "Dear Real Estate Adviser, I want to purchase a house from my brother-in-law. Am I required to file a non-arm’s-length transaction claim of some sort? What happens if I don’t? — Sonya N. Dear Sonya, You’re asking, I believe, what your obligation is to the lender and to the government in disclosing your role in a friendly home sale, which doesn’t have that typical “arm’s length” distance between buyer (you in this case) and seller (your brother-in-law). While there’s actually not a so-called non-arm’s-length transaction form to file, there is an Identity of Interest Certification form you may need to fill out if you’re getting your mortgage through the Federal Housing Administration, or FHA. The Internal Revenue Service is also interested in non-arm’s-length transaction disclosure for different reasons, as we’ll discuss later. Because most conventional mortgage-lending programs still require nearly perfect credit scores to get the best mortgage rates these days, the FHA has had to step in to fill the breech, which means you’ll have to play by its rules if you go that way. One of the lines to fill out on the FHA Identity of Interest form reads: “My relationship with the seller is _______.” Underneath that, there’s another line explaining that it’s a federal crime to make false statements concerning the above facts. So it’s best to fess up to the non-arm’s-length status of your purchase and not fudge any facts."

It can be irritating to me, and, I am sure, confusing to customers, to see a medium size hammock described as \"\"XL\"\", which implies that it is a very large hammock, not a medium size hammock. Misleading descriptors like this are used all over the internet to justify a higher price for a lesser product. To help you sort through all this, I am going to discuss actual sizes and what they mean, technically, from the point of origin to you. Starting with the Mayan style hammock made in Mexico, usually the Yucatan Peninsula, there are a few things you should know. To start with, the looms that the artisans use are two meters, about six and a half feet, in length. They can be adjusted to be 2.1 meters or 2.2 meters, but seldom are. This fixes the length of the body or bed part of the hammock at about six and a half to seven feet for all Mayan hammocks, regardless of size. The size designations reflect, therefore, the width of the bed rather than the length."

An unfortunate statistic is that close to 50 percent of tennis players will, at some point, suffer from tennis elbow. When trying to pick out a new racquet, we would prefer that tennis elbow not be a consideration, but for some it is. Whether that means that they are trying to prevent it, or heal it, it is a concern. So first let us understand a little more about this painful experience. Tennis Elbow is caused by injury to the muscles and tendon areas around the outside of the elbow. Most often, the pain is centralized around the area where the tendons attach to the bony outside part of the elbow, known as the lateral epicondyle. There is also an injury known as golfer’s elbow, which is nearly the same but affects the inside of the elbow instead. Typically, the pain of tennis elbow is present in the dominant arm, largely because it is essentially an overuse injury. This means that repeated stresses on those muscles and tendons, such as hitting a large number of groundstrokes, can certainly contribute to injury."

"text": "Home Technical Resources Engine and Engine Management Performance Rocker Arm History See more from Engine Builder Many European and Asian engines have been using overhead cams for years, so when Ford opted to go the overhead cam route with their 4.6L V8 engine, some predicted pushrod engines were on their way out. But, GM and Chrysler stuck with the pushrod design for their LS and 5.7L and 6.2L Hemi engines, respectively. It’s easy to understand why rocker arms and pushrods are still a hot topic for performance engine building when you add in all the older engines and current aftermarket block/head combinations that still use pushrods and rocker arms. The rocker arms redirect the upward motion of the lifters and pushrods into the downward motion required to open the valves. The rocker shaft or ball stud mounting serves as the fulcrum point around which this motion occurs, and the relative length of the rocker arm on each side of the center fulcrum determines the lift ratio of the rocker. The advantage of using higher ratio rocker arms is that the same cam lobe profile can produce the total valve lift for more power. Like any lever, leverage is multiplied when the valve side of the rocker arm is longer than the pushrod side. The shorter the pushrod side of the rocker arm and the longer the valve side of the rocker arm, the higher the lift ratio of the rocker. If the length of the valve side of the rocker is 1.5 times that of the pushrod side, the lift ratio will be 1.5:1. If the valve side of the rocker is 2x the length of the pushrod side, the lift ratio will be 2.0:1."

Dear Abdul, While the sort of selling scenario you envision does happen, it’s undesirable if not downright illegal in most lending and regulatory circles because of the potential for mortgage fraud. Moreover, government or government-related entities HUD, FHA, VA, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the FDIC are cracking down on the practice. They’re even going back and examining past deals where relatives may have profited. Although you haven’t been asked yet to sign what’s called an “arm’s-length affidavit” — an assurance that sellers and buyers are unrelated and are bargaining only in their own self-interests with no side agreements — doesn’t mean you won’t have to sign one if your bank approves your short sale. Why waste all that time? Ask if it’s OKYou’d be well-advised to be transparent and just ask the bank about the potential for such a sale before you proceed. If you wait and a conflict emerges later, the bank may not only nix the deal, it may even report it to the feds if it suspects you or the related party is trying to secretly profit."

"text": "Tweet When most golfers think about custom Clubfitting, they think only of the full swing clubs – the driver, fairway woods, hybrids and irons. Few golfers are ever fit for their wedges and putter. Yet within these short game clubs lies the chance to achieve the greatest level of improvement on the golfer’s actual SCORE. One of the most dramatic putting improvement tools within custom fitting has proven to be the use of a heavy weight inserted into the very grip end of the putter shaft. This is a putter fitting technique called ‘COUNTER WEIGHTING.”How does putter counter weighting work and what golfers will benefit? Golfers who putt well have a high level of fine motor control skill. That simply means they have the neuro-muscular ability to move and control objects with their hands at slower speeds in a consistent, repeating and very precise manner. For those of us who do not have fine motor control, by putting a substantial amount of weight in the end of the putter shaft, our hands now feel that heavier weight and are better able to move in a more consistent, repeating manner. Golfers who have proven to improve their putting with a counter weight all have one or more of the following putting habits: Tendency to both pull and push putts off line A higher than average incidence of off center hit putts Inconsistency with distance control – some putts short and some putts long The path of the putter back and through the ball can be jerky, not very smooth and rhythmic The most commonly used putter counterweights are the 60g, 80g and 100g weights, with the 80g and 100g counterweights being the most commonly used by most golfers for the putter. There is no question the chance of improved putting performance with a heavy counter weight in the putter is very high."

My TSH was \"\"normal\"\" as well as my T4 when I started having panic attacks a few years back. When we finally got around to checking my FT3, it was out of range low. My anxiety was induced in large part because of the brain fog that left me feeling like \"\"something just wasn't right\"\". I hated walking around like that and steadily my anxiety increased that something really BAD was wrong. I absolutely believe the anxiety took on a life of it's own - seperate from my low T3. I started on 25 mg Zoloft from one doctor who would not give me Cytomel & found another doctor who would... so a month after starting Zoloft (with GREAT results as far as less panic attacks went - but still super anxious) I started 10mcg Cytomel."

D. 37 Comments [For an additional late breaking news on this subject be sure to check out the book, Metabolism.com]Over 20 years ago endocrinologists had experience with hormone compound pills containing both T4 and T3. Those physicians who had the opportunity to use these compounds know that patients frequently seem to do better with them than with the more traditional T4 (Synthroid, L-thyroxine, Levoxyl etc.). For various reasons most companies stopped producing combination thyroid hormone pills two decades ago. Why does combination therapy with T4 and T3 appear to provide more benefits than either hormone alone? The reason was clarified in an article published in The New England Journal of Medicine summarized in this news report;NEW YORK, Feb 10 (Reuters Health) — Patients with hypothyroidism show greater improvements in mood and brain function if they receive treatment with two types of thyroid hormones instead of one, according to a report in the February 11th issue of The New England Journal of Medicine. Hypothyroidism, where the gland has ceased to function or has been removed, is usually treated with daily doses of thyroxine hormone. But the researchers found that substituting another thyroid hormone, triiodothyronine, for some of the thyroxine dose led to improvements in mood and in neuropsychological functioning. “There are two thyroid hormones, thyroxine and triiodothyronine,” Dr. Robertas Bunevicius, of Kaunas Medical University in Lithuania, and colleagues explain in their paper."

Also have problems with low stomach acid and digestive issues. Contracted a virus in the 1980s which left me with ME and have had periodic flare ups of that over the years. In fact, a lot of what I am feeling now is similar to the ME symptoms I originally had for some five years and occasionally since. As I have a history of a very sensitive immune system and react to many things including certain drugs, I feel I would prefer (after much research) to take natural desiccated medication such as Armour or Nature Throid. Speaking with a pharmacist today to see if the pharmacy can obtain either of these before suggesting them to my doctor, I was told that legally every doctor has to first prescribe synthetic levothyroxine to a person diagnosed with Hypo and then can only prescribe Armour or Nature Throid if the levothyroxine doesn't appear to be working. Are there people out there who have had different experiences or has everyone found this to be the case? It would be so helpful to me to know this before seeing my doctor. Many Thanks."

"text": "\"Desiccated Thyroid: Be Wary of Doctors Who Prescribe It Stephen Barrett, M. D. Desiccated thyroid extract, made from dried animal glands, was the most common form of treatment for hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormone levels) before the individual thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) were discovered and became commercially available. During the 1960s, science-based physicians stopped using it because its potency can vary from batch to batch, which would make it harder to optimize the patient's thyroid hormone levels. Today, desiccated thyroid—also called Armour Thyroid ® —is made from pig thyroid glands by Forest Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a subsidiary of Forest Laboratories, Inc., of St. Louis. Forest's Web site displays the slogan \"\"achieve normal thyroid levels—naturally\"\" throughout its Web site. However, the American Thyroid Association (ATA) points out: While desiccated thyroid contains both T4 and T3, the balance of T4 and T3 in animals is not the same as in humans, so the hormones in animal thyroid pills aren’t necessarily “natural” for the human body. Further, the amounts of both T4 and T3 can vary in every batch of desiccated thyroid, making it harder to keep blood levels right. Finally, even desiccated thyroid pills have chemicals (binders) in them to hold the pill together, so they are not completely “natural”. Desiccated animal thyroid is rarely prescribed today, and there is no evidence that desiccated thyroid has any advantage over synthetic T4 [1]. The ATA's clinical guidelines, cosponsored by the American Society of Endocrinologists (AACE), also warn that desiccated thyroid should not be used to treat women with hypothyroidism who are pregnant or trying to conceive because lowering of T4 (as might occur with desiccated thyroid) may cause subnormal intellectual levels in theit offspring [2}. The British Thyroid Association (BTA) also advises against the use of desiccated thyroid: Armour Thyroid (USP) and Combined Thyroxine/ Tri-iodothyronine as Thyroid Hormone Replacement A Statement from the British Thyroid Association Executive Committee February 2007Part 1. Use of Armour Thyroid A. Armour Thyroid contains both thyroxine (T4) and tri-iodothyronine (T3) extracted from the thyroid gland of pigs. One grain, about 60 mg, of desiccated pig thyroid extract contains about 38mcg of T4 and 9mcg of T3, a ratio of around 4 to 1."

"text": "\"Archives Home → Articles Share|Twitter|Facebook|Comments|Print|Email April 9, 2016What Does the Second Amendment Mean? By David Deming It's one of the most controversial passages of the Constitution. Allegedly, it's also one of the most obscure and unintelligible sections. The Second Amendment to the U. S. Constitution reads, \"\"a well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. \"\" Prior to the Supreme Court's decision in District of Columbia v. Heller (2008), we were told for decades that the Second Amendment did not guarantee or even refer to an individual right. Based on the wording of United States v. Miller (1939), the theory was promulgated that the Second Amendment protected only State's rights to maintain organized militia. One problem with this curious interpretation is that States don't have rights, they have powers. But there's nothing new about twisting the truth into a pretzel so that it conforms to a dogmatic ideology. Some people still doggedly maintain that the Second Amendment does not refer to an individual right. Among these persons are some judges on the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals."

At the center of the gun control debate, few things are as hotly disputed in the United States as the Constitution's Second Amendment. History of the Second Amendment The Second Amendment provides U. S. citizens the right to bear arms. Ratified in December 1791, the amendment says: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. James Madison originally proposed the Second Amendment shortly after the Constitution was officially ratified as a way to provide more power to state militias, which today are considered the National Guard. It was deemed a compromise between Federalists — those who supported the Constitution as it was ratified — and the anti-Federalists — those who supported states having more power. Having just used guns and other arms to ward off the English, the amendment was originally created to give citizens the opportunity to fight back against a tyrannical federal government. The U. S. Constitution guarantees the inalienable rights of citizens. Credit: Onur Ersin Shutterstock Interpretations of the Second Amendment Since its ratification, Americans have been arguing over the amendment's meaning and interpretation. One side interprets the amendment to mean it provides for collective rights, while the opposing view is that it provides individual rights."

"text": "\"The Commonplace Second Amendment Prof. Eugene Volokh, UCLA Law School * (73 NYU L. Rev. 793 (1998))The Second Amendment is widely seen as quite unusual, because it has a justification clause as well as an operative clause. Professor Volokh points out that this structure was actually quite commonplace in American constitutions of the Framing era: State Bills of Rights contained justification clauses for many of the rights they secured. Looking at these state provisions, he suggests, can shed light on how the similarly structured Second Amendment should be interpreted. In particular, the provisions show that constitutional rights will often -- and for good reason -- be written in ways that are to some extent overinclusive and to some extent underinclusive with respect to their stated justifications. Introduction\"\"The Second Amendment, unusually for constitutional provisions, contains a statement of purpose as well as a guarantee of a right to bear arms.\"\" 1 This unusual attribute, some argue, is reason for courts to interpret the Second Amendment quite differently than they interpret other constitutional provisions -- perhaps to the point of reading it as having virtually no effect on government action. 2My modest discovery 3 is that the Second Amendment is actually not unusual at all: Many contemporaneous state constitutional provisions are structured similarly. Rhode Island's 1842 constitution, its first, provides The liberty of the press being essential to the security of freedom in a state, any person may publish his sentiments on any subject, being responsible for the abuse of that liberty . . . . 4 Compare this to the Second Amendment's A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

In spite of extensive recent discussion and much legislative action with respect to regulation of the purchase, possession, and transportation of firearms, as well as proposals to substantially curtail ownership of firearms, there is no definitive resolution by the courts of just what right the Second Amendment protects. The opposing theories, perhaps oversimplified, are an “individual rights” thesis whereby individuals are protected in ownership, possession, and transportation, and a “states’ rights” thesis whereby it is said the purpose of the clause is to protect the States in their authority to maintain formal, organized militia units. 1 Whatever the Amendment may mean, it is a bar only to federal action, not extending to state 2 or private 3 restraints. The Supreme Court has given effect to the dependent clause of the Amendment in the only case in which it has tested a congressional enactment against the constitutional prohibition, seeming to affirm individual protection but only in the context of the maintenance of a militia or other such public force. In United States v. Miller, 4 the Court sustained a statute requiring registration under the National Firearms Act of sawed–off - shotguns. After reciting the original provisions of the Constitution dealing with the militia, the Court observed that “ [w]ith obvious purpose to assure the continuation and render possible the effectiveness of such forces the declaration and guarantee of the Second Amendment were made. It must be interpreted with that end in view.” 5 The significance of the militia, the Court continued, was that it was composed of “civilians primarily, soldiers on occasion.” It was upon this force that the States could rely for defense and securing of the laws, on a force that “comprised all males physically capable of acting in concert for the common defense,” who, “when called for service . . ."

Congress actually voted to have twelve amendments, but only ten were passed by the states. The Constitution requires that 3/4 of the state legislatures must accept an amendment for any change to be made to the Constitution. What do the First Ten Amendments actually say? What rights are protected by them? The following section gives you a brief overview of what is in each amendment with a link you can click on for more in depth information."

The following limitations also are included in the constitutional amendment: An organization shall not be able to use an electronic gaming or vending machine to sell tickets or conduct raffles. An organization shall not contract with a professional raffle or other lottery vendor for the management, operation or conduct of any raffle; and Raffles shall be licensed and regulated by the Office of Charitable Gaming in the Kansas Department of Revenue, or by a successor agency. Definition of a raffle: Raffle means a game of chance in which each participant buys a ticket or tickets from a nonprofit organization with each ticket providing an equal chance to win a prize and the winner being determined by a random drawing. If a nonprofit meets the criteria described in the constitutional amendment and the gross receipts are $25,000 or less, the organization does not need to apply for a raffle license.

"text": "\"The Bill of Rights: A Charter of Liberties A bill of rights had been proposed during the Constitutional Convention in 1787, but there was considerable disagreement regarding the need for such protections. Antifederalists, such as James Madison, believed that the great object of the Constitution was to preserve popular government while protecting individuals from \"\"unjust\"\" majorities. Federalists, like Alexander Hamilton, believed that a bill of rights was unnecessary. The states ratified ten of the amendments in 1791. How does the Bill of Rights provide for individual liberties? The purpose of the Bill of Rights is to limit governmental power over the individual, placing personal liberty beyond the reach of government. Each individual's rights to life, liberty, and property, due process of law, and equal protection under the law are not subject to majority rule. What are the differences between substantive and procedural liberties? Substantive liberties are restraints limiting what the government shall have the power to do, such as restricting freedom of speech, freedom of religion, or freedom of the press. Procedural liberties are restraints on how the government can act."

"text": "\"What did it mean to 'bear arms' in 1791? June 18, 2008 @ 1:23 am · Filed by Bill Poser under Language and the law« previous post | next post »In the case of D. C. v Heller shortly to be decided by the US Supreme Court, the central issue is the meaning of the Second Amendment to the US Constitution: A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. One of the issues is whether the Second Amendment guarantees a private right, that is, a right of individuals to own and carry arms, or a public right, that is, a right of militias to own and carry arms, or both. Many advocates of restrictions on the right of individuals to own and carry arms promote the interpretation that the Second Amendment is meant only to protect the organized militia units, which, they typically argue, are now subsumed under the National Guard. For advocates of this interpretation, there is no individual right to own and carry weapons. One aspect of this argument is the interpretation of the leading clause of the amendment. Advocates of the \"\"public only\"\" interpretation consider this clause to indicate that the needs of the militia are the exclusive motivation for the Second Amendment and that its scope is therefore limited to the militia. This issue has been discussed here on Language Log in the posts Once is cool, twice is queer and The right to keep and bear adjuncts. Among the numerous amicus briefs submitted is the so-called \"\" Linguists' Brief \"\", written by Dennis E. Baron, Richard W. Bailey, and Jeffrey P. Kaplan. This brief argues that the Second Amendment protects only a public right on two grounds: the afore-mentioned interpretation of the leading clause, and the argument that the expression \"\"bear arms\"\" refers only to the organized military use of arms, not to individual use."

IF THIS PASSES, THERE COULD BE WAR On Wednesday the Obama administration took its first major step in a plan to ban all firearms in the United States. The Obama administration intends to force gun control and a complete ban on all weapons for US citizens through the signing of international treaties with foreign nations. By signing international treaties on gun control, the Obama administration can use the US State Department to bypass the normal legislative process in Congress. Once the US Government signs these international treaties, all US citizens will be subject to those gun laws created by foreign governments. These are laws that have been developed and promoted by organizations such as the United Nations and individuals such as George Soros and Michael Bloomberg. The laws are designed and intended to lead to the complete ban and confiscation of all firearms. The Obama administration is attempting to use tactics and methods of gun control that will inflict major damage to our 2nd Amendment before US citizens even understand what has happened."

By guaranteeing that \"\" [a] well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed,\"\" the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution provides the citizens a means of protection against the unjust excesses of government.

What is the real history of the “right to bear arms,” asks Beverly Bandler. By Beverly Bandler“A majority of Americans tell pollsters that they believe the Second Amendment protects private ownership of guns,” wrote Garry Wills, historian and author of James Madison, in 1995. What is the basis for this belief and why was Wills focusing on this issue in 1995? Does the sparse language of the Second Amendment actually guarantee an individual right to bear arms? Protect private gun ownership and the right to carry firearms without restriction? What does “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms” mean in the context of the entire Second Amendment language? In the context of the Constitution? In the context of the historical record?

The Second Amendment was adopted into the United States Constitution on December 15, 1791, along with the other amendments in the Bill of Rights. The Second Amendment and the Bill of Rights were introduced into the United States Constitution by James Madison. The Text of the Second Amendment There are two important versions of the text found in the Second Amendment, but the only differences are due to punctuation and capitalization. The text of the Second Amendment which is found in the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights is the following:” A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. ”What Does the Second Amendment Mean? The Second Amendment is only a sentence long. However, there are some very important phrases that need to be carefully looked at. Here are some explanations for key phrases in the Second Amendment. Militia: During early American history, all males who were between the ages of sixteen to sixty were required to be a part of the local militia in their towns and communities."

"text": "\"Supreme Law of the Land: What does that really mean?4/17/20144 Comments There are several explanations for why the states do not have the ability to nullify federal \"\"law.\"\" The most iron clad is as follows: Priority of the Supremacy Clause Article VI clause 2 (The Supremacy Clause) establishes that the only unqualified \"\"supreme Law of the Land\"\" is the Constitution itself. No \"\"law\"\" is above it, not federal enactments, not treaties, not international law. Federal enactments only rise to the level of \"\"supreme Law\"\" if the enactment is made \"\"in Pursuance\"\" of the Constitution. In \"\"Pursuance\"\" means the enactment, if a bill, satisfies the procedural requirements of the Constitution i.e., both houses of Congress pass the bill before it goes to the President and appropriation bills start in the House. And, the bill satisfies the substantive requirements of the Constitution. This means a bill relates to and is within the scope of one of the enumerated powers of the general government. No Unconstitutional \"\"Laws\"\" only Null Enactments If the procedural or substantive Constitutional prerequisites are not met, then the federal bill does not become part of the \"\"Supreme Law of the Land.\"\" This principle was espoused in 1803 by the U.

That was because I had not yet made the decision to carry my firearm with me everywhere I went, every single day. Years earlier, and fresh out of college, I had purchased a handgun for self-defense after realizing that my first real job required me to spend time in seedy industrial areas of big, unfamiliar cities and towns in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. That was back in the mid-eighties, before the landmark 1987 Florida legislation that launched the modern-day CCW movement. Back in those days we never even gave a permit a thought. I did not know anything about a permit, only that I had a Second Amendment right to own and carry a gun. Young and just getting started in the real world, I bought what I could afford at the time—a small Raven Arms .25 caliber pistol. I carried that gun with me to work, keeping it in my overcoat pocket, my briefcase, or my pants pocket whenever I exited my vehicle on a sales call. I eventually upgraded my firepower and obtained a Florida CCW upon relocating to the Sunshine State in 1992. I began seeking knowledge and professional training but still had not made the decision to holster my firearm everywhere I went, although I lived in a pretty bad area of Tampa at the time.advertisement I resided in a neighborhood known as “Suitcase City,” named after the transient nature of the community and its low-income citizens and housing."

FIRST: The Second Amendment protects an individual right that existed before the creation of any government.

The unalienable right to freedom from violent harm, and the right to self-defense, both exist before and outside of secular government.1. Torah: Exodus 22:2.2.

"text": "Constitution Check: What does it mean that there is a right to “bear” guns? February 6, 2014 by Lyle Denniston Lyle Denniston looks at two Second Amendment cases under consideration at the Supreme Court later this month that would clarify questions posed by the National Rifle Association. THE STATEMENT AT ISSUE: There is “a growing line of court of appeals decisions that, while stopping short of holding that there is no Second Amendment right outside the home, consistently reach the same result by deeming any right to bear arms in public to be, at best, outside the Second Amendment’s ‘core’ and then balancing it away under an anemic form of intermediate scrutiny.”– Charles J. Cooper, a Washington, D. C., attorney for the National Rifle Association, in a brief filed at the Supreme Court on Monday, urging the Justices to strike down a law that bans minors from carrying a handgun in public, beyond the home. WE CHECKED THE CONSTITUTION, AND…The Second Amendment, at its core, spells out not one, but two, rights when it protects “the right of the people.” There is a right to “keep” a gun, there is a right, to “bear” a gun. There is an “and” between the two in the text, so that might well be taken as a significant indication that these are separate rights. The Supreme Court in 2008 made it clear that the right to “keep” a gun is a personal right, and that it means one has a right to keep a functioning firearm for self-defense within the home. But it has refused repeatedly since then to take on the question of whether that right exists also outside the home. If there is a separate right to “bear” a gun (and the Court, in fact, did say in 2008 that the two rights were separate), it has not said what that means."

It is used to determine medical standards for different jobs, and to make sure that military members are medically qualified to perform the duties of that job, the military has developed a medical profile indicator, known as the physical profile serial system. The physical profile serial system is based primarily upon the function of body systems and their relation to military duties. The functions of the various organs, systems, and integral parts of the body are considered. Since the analysis of the individual’s medical, physical, and mental status plays an important role in assignment and welfare, the military takes great care in executing the functional grading. In developing the system, the functions have been considered under six factors designated “P–U–L–H–E–S.” Each of these letters stand for a specific medical area: (1) P — The \"\"P\"\" in \"\"P-U-L-H-E-S\"\" stands for \"\"Physical capacity or stamina.\"\""

Flag How is the slouch hat related to ANZAC Day? Edit Answer by On the Wallaby Confidence votes 289KPassionate about all things Australian The slouch hat was unique to the ANZAC diggers. Even though it came into use in the Australian defence forces during the late 1800s, it became a real symbol of the ANZAC troops, with its distinctive shape. The diggers were known for their courage and loyalty, and the image of the slouch hat on the ANZAC troops became synonymous with the stories of courage that came out from the war, thanks to war correspondents such as C E W Bean. CEW Bean was the Australian official war correspondent, and later official war historian of the time. He landed with the ANZACs at Gallipoli, and his writings contributed significantly to the development and growth of the ANZAC legend. His detailed reports on the landing and subsequent battle/s provided a unique and personal perspective on the events, and within his stories reports was acknowledgement of the slouch hat as symbolic of self-sacrifice and loyalty as the ANZAC troops went about their business without complaint.1 person found this useful Was this answer useful? Yes Somewhat No On the Wallaby Passionate about all things Australian What is ANZAC Day about? ANZAC Day is all about respecting the sacrifices of past and present troops."

The most common way of serving that is to do so many years active and the rest as partial active or inactive. Myself, I did 4 years active and I'm almost done with 4 years inactive. I'm still part of the reserves but I don't do anything associated with the army since I got off active duty. The idea of being IRR (inactive ready reservised) is that they'll call on us as the last step before a draft, the reason being if it got to that point, at least the IRR folks have prior training and experience compared to Joe Shmoe that they'd be pulling off the street in the case of a draft. There are other options besides inactive reserves like active reserves or national Guard which both involve having some drill obligation 1 weekend a month and national Guard I belive has 2 weeks of feild time each year and I'm not sure active reserves has that requirement. Both active options have deployments and actually national Guard deploys a lot more often than even active duty but their tours are typically a few months compared to active duty deployments that are usually anywhere from 12 to 15 months.4.2k Views · View Upvoters Related Questions More Answers Below How can the commitment of army reserves be described?

"text": "\"Stephen Tempest, qualified amateur historian Answered May 8, 2014 · Author has 1.9k answers and 14.8m answer views According to the Oxford English Dictionary, it probably derives from swad or swaddie, which is an old Northern England dialect word for \"\"a loutish fellow\"\", \"\"a country bumpkin\"\" or a \"\"big, stout chap\"\". That word in turn derives from Scandinavian - compare the Norwegian word svadde with the same meaning. Citations for the basic meaning go back to the 16th century - \"\"Dost thou drinke all thy thrift thou swilbold swadd?\"\" is from a play written in 1577, for instance. The earliest reference to it meaning specifically a soldier is from John Hall's Memoirs written in 1708; there are other citations given from 1757 and 1787. The folk-etymology that it comes from a Hindi word seems to be false. Lots of British Army 19th century slang came from India, but it seems this particular word was already in use long before any British swaddies set foot in India. As Scott's answer says, the word swaddie was changed to squaddie around the time of the Second World War, since the dialect word swaddie was no longer in use outside the military and thus unfamiliar, and non-soldiers misheard it and assumed it derived from 'squad'. Finally, note that while the British Army doesn't have a formal sub-division called a squad, the word has been in use for at least 300 years, including in official regulations, to mean \"\"a small body of men formed together to perform a specific task\"\". (' Firing squad', for instance. )"

Army, which has so many acronyms, expressions and opaque phrases that it seems to deserve its own language, there is one word that is quite possibly uttered more than any other. That word is ��hooah. �� Pronounced HOO-ah. Alternatively spelled hua and huah. Just don�t try to define it. And definitely don�t try to figure out where it comes from. ��I believe it came from hurrah. It basically means everything from �yes� and �yes, sir,� to �that�s great, ��You could use it as a generalized cheer."

"text": "\"Military Branches The Orderly Room Enlisted Promotions Made Simple Army Enlisted Promotion System Share Flip Pin Share Email•••By Rod Powers Updated February 02, 2018Each year, when Congress passes the Defense Authorization Act, the Army is instructed on exactly how many people can be on active duty during the year. By separate legislation, Congress also limits what percentage of the total active duty force can serve in each commissioned officer rank, what percentage of the total active duty force can serve in each warrant officer rank, and what percentage of the active duty force can serve in each enlisted rank, above the grade of E-4 (there are no statutory limits for E-4 and below). That, then, becomes the basis of the Army enlisted promotion system. The Army takes the number of \"\"slots\"\" they have for each enlisted rank, above the rank of E-4, and allocates them to the different MOS's (enlisted jobs). In other words, MOS 123 may be allowed to have 5,000 E-5s at any point in time, and 2,000 E-6s and MOS 456 may be authorized 7,000 E-5s, and 5,000 E-6s (as a general rule, the higher the rank, the fewer positions there are). To promote someone (above the rank of E-4), there must be a \"\"vacancy.\"\" For example, if an E-9 retires in a certain MOS, that means that one E-8 can be promoted to E-9, and that opens an E-8 slot, so one E-7 can be promoted to E-8, and so forth. If 200 E-5s get out of the Army in a particular MOS, then 200 E-4s can be promoted to E-5. The Army has 401,138 enlisted members on active duty. Here's how it breaks down, by enlisted rank: Private (E-1)—20,284 (5.1 percent)Private (E-2)—3,334 (9.1 percent)Private First Class (E-3)—56,757 (14.1 percent)Specialist/Corporal (E-4)—107,634 (26.8 percent)Sergeant (E-5)—73,034 (18.2 percent)Staff Sergeant (E-6)—56,664 (14.1 percent)Sergeant First Class (E-7)—36,725 (9.2 percent)Master Sergeant/First Sergeant (E-8)—10,541 (2.6 percent)Sergeant Major (E-9)—3,165 (0.8 percent)So, how does the Army decide which enlisted members are going to get promoted?"

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2012 [1] [2] is a United States federal law which besides other provisions specifies the budget and expenditures of the United States Department of Defense. The bill passed the U. S. House on December 14, 2011, the U. S. Senate on December 15, 2011, and was signed into United States law on December 31, 2011, by President Barack Obama. [ 3] [4]The Act authorizes $662 billion in funding, among other things \"\"for the defense of the United States and its interests abroad\"\". [ 5] In a signing statement, President Obama described the Act as addressing national security programs, Department of Defense health care costs, counter-terrorism within the United States and abroad, and military modernization. [ 6] [7] The Act also imposes new economic sanctions against Iran (section 1045), commissions appraisals of the military capabilities of countries such as Iran, China, and Russia, [8] and refocuses the strategic goals of NATO towards \"\"energy security\"\". [ 9] The Act also increases pay and healthcare costs for military service members [10] and gives governors the ability to request the help of military reservists in the event of a hurricane, earthquake, flood, terrorist attack, or other disaster. [ 11]The most controversial provisions to receive wide attention were contained in subsections 1021–1022 of Title X, Subtitle D, entitled \"\"Counter-Terrorism\"\", authorizing the indefinite military detention of persons the government suspects of involvement in terrorism, including U. S. citizens arrested on American soil. Although the White House [12] and Senate sponsors [13] maintain that the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) already grants presidential authority for indefinite detention, the Act states that Congress \"\"affirms\"\" this authority and makes specific provisions as to the exercise of that authority. [ 14] [15] The detention provisions of the Act have received critical attention by, among others, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the Bill of Rights Defense Committee, and some media sources which are concerned about the scope of the President's authority, including contentions that those whom they claim may be held indefinitely could include U. S. citizens arrested on American soil, including arrests by members of the Armed Forces. [ 16] [17] [18] [19] [20] The detention powers currently face legal challenge."

See the Lockheed claims as reported in Breaking Defense , Defense News and others that we should expect F-35 A costs to be $85 million in 2019. None of these articles acknowledged that there are ways to measure F-35 unit cost other than by mouthing Lockheed and/or Joint Program Office prognostications for the future. Winslow Wheeler , Director, Straus Military Reform Project, CDI at the Project of Government Oversight ( POGO) claims these predictions do not conform with the actual procurement of costs reflected in the real numbers listed in the 2014 budget spending. “Try instead, empirical data from as recently as last month from sources that typically work hand-in-glove with the Pentagon.” Wheeler wrote in his blog. “ They would be the House and Senate Armed Services Committees. Their National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) was squirted through the Senate and signed into law on December 26. On questions like funding for high priority weapons, like the F-35, they virtually never act without consulting closely with the Pentagon, even if they don’t always cough up every penny requested."

"text": "Tactical Networks US Army to halt WIN-T — its battlefield network backbone By: Jen Judson September 27, 2017A soldier boots up his system inside a Tactical Communications Node-Lite system -- essentially a Warfighter Information Network-Tactical system on a Humvee -- at the Network Integration Evaluation in July 2017. WIN-T is the backbone of the Army's tactical network. ( Photo by Jen Judson/Staff)This story has been updated with developments from a House Armed Services Committee’s Tactical Air and Land Forces Subcommittee hearing. WASHINGTON — Delivery of the Army’s controversial Warfighter Information Network-Tactical system will come to a halt in order to reboot the service’s entire tactical network so that it can operate against threats emerging on the battlefield. The Army took to the Hill both on the House and Senate side in recent weeks to make a case to shuffle roughly half a billion in funds from the WIN-T program, as well as a few other key network components, and funnel the money into capabilities that will deliver a more survivable, mobile and hardened tactical network. [ White House supports US Army battlefield network in looming NDAA fight]The House Armed Services Committee’s Tactical Air and Land Forces Subcommittee held a hearing Wednesday to question Army officials over its new plans for the network, with Chairman Rep. Michael Turner, R-Ohio, expressing deep skepticism the Army was going to get it right this time. He added he was perplexed as to what changed so dramatically between May — when the budget request was released making the case for nearly a half billion for WIN-T — and now with the Army wanting to curb WIN-T and spend its money elsewhere. Ranking Member Rep. Niki Tsongas added she believed the Army plan was “half-baked” and “overly optimistic” and said she needed to see a much clearer way forward before she could support funding the proposed changes to the network strategy. The service is in a race to adapt its weapons systems and operational equipment to go up against peer adversaries after spending 15 years in Iraq and Afghanistan where it didn’t have to worry about having its network and communications systems detected and jammed and where the repercussions of being seen on the electromagnetic spectrum weren’t assured destruction. As the Army looks to the possibility of having to fight against peer adversaries, particularly as Russia continues to behave aggressively and unpredictably on the Eastern European flank, it is having to rethink how it fights and the tactical network, as it is today, doesn’t make the cut."

"text": "\"PDF files require Adobe Reader for viewing. Top Ten Tips Disclaimer LEGAL ISSUES FOR MILITARY LEAVEThese days, more and more employers are seeing employees either undergoing military training, leaving for active duty, or returning from military service. It is important to know the basic legal issues associated with employees on military duty. Following is a survey of the most important things to remember. The Basic Law The main law governing the employment rights of employees on military duty is the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA), found in Title 38 of the United States Code starting at Section 4301. The law does several things: Employers must hold open the jobs of employees on military duty and may not otherwise discriminate against them because of their military service. Generally, a job must be held open for up to five years, but during times of a declared national emergency, the time for holding the job open must be extended until the emergency declaration is revoked. This is relevant because the national emergency declared on September 14, 2001 is still in effect. The law gives that protection to every type and variety of employee. Upon return from military duty, a veteran or employee who is still in the military is entitled to whatever position he or she would have attained with reasonable certainty if the military service had not occurred."

I'm not sure a ten-day paternity leave would have provided everything we needed, but it would have been better than what we got,\"\" Price remembered. Recognizing the importance of Families being together during significant events such as the birth of a child, the Army has developed a flexible paternity leave policy that allows male Soldiers to support their spouses during the joyous, but possibly stressful, time of adjustment following the arrival of a new family member."

"text": "Keeping It Simple (Sometimes): Acquisition Thresholds Are Changing (or Not)Aug 19, 2015By Guest Blogger, Ron Smith On July 2, 2015, the new 5-year adjustments to Federal acquisition-related thresholds were published in the Federal Register. This news attracted all the media attention and publicity sizzle of a half-time basketball score, even within the acquisition community where these thresholds mean huge differences in the speed of the acquisition process and risk to the contractor. For the record, here is the list of the changes: Micro-purchase threshold increases from $3,000 to $3,500Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) is unchanged at $150,000Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) for commercial items is raised from $6.5 million to $7.0 million Fed Biz Opps pre-award and post-award notices remain unchanged at $25,000Cost or pricing data threshold increases from $700,000 to $750,000Prime contractor subcontracting plan floor is raised from $650,000 to $700,000 (construction threshold of $1.5 million is unchanged)Threshold for reporting executive compensation and first-tier subcontract awards is increased from $25,000 to $30,000This threshold process is governed primarily by statute 41 U. S. C. 1908, which requires mandatory review and adjustment of certain statutory acquisition-related thresholds for inflation using the Consumer Price Index (CPI), specifically the index for urban consumers. These adjustments are calculated and updated in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) in every fifth year that is evenly divisible by five (2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, etc). For consistency the Government follows this process for all thresholds, not just 41 U. S. C 1908. Once the adjustments are calculated, the threshold numbers are updated line-by-line throughout the FAR. If the process is this bland and esoteric, what are these “huge differences” that we were talking about? For a more common example, let’s imagine a Federal law that required the highway department to change every speed limit on every street once every five years. That process would also be bland and esoteric…unless there were blue lights flashing in the rear-view mirror. The threshold process touches thousands of transactions and billions of dollars of contracts in the Federal market, so knowing the exact limits can make big differences in profitability and liability."

"text": "\"USPS Retirement Information The Office of Personnel and Management (OPM) administers both USPS retirement programs - the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) and the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS). The CSRS generally applies to employees who received a career appointment before January 1, 1984 while the FERS applies to employees whose initial career appointment was January 1, 1984 or later, and CSRS employees that elected to transfer to FERS. Both systems have the same purposes, however, both operate under a unique set of guidelines and rules. Many employees believe that USPS retirement benefits are some of the most substantial in the nation. Many, upon reaching retirement age, are shocked to learn they will be facing a 50% to 75% or more loss in income after retirement. Although, postal retirement benefits may not be all that public legend has them to be, they can provide a secure retirement with the proper planning. New: FERS Accrued Unused Sick Leave Ruling in Effect5/11/2010The new National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2010 now allows the use of accrued unused sick leave hours to be added to total service in computing the retirement annuity of Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) employees. From October 28, 2009, through December 31, 2013, 50 percent of FERS employees' accrued unused sick leave hours will be added in the computing of their retirement annuity. Retirees after December 31, 2013, will have 100 percent of accrued unused sick leave hours added. This new rule permits the counting of accrued unused sick leave only to calculate a FERS employee’s annuity."

"text": "By Jim Karger Posted February 20, 2014When They Come For Your Guns, You Will Turn Them Over“When they come for my gun, they will have to pry it out of my cold, dead hands,” is a common refrain I often hear from the Neo-Cons when there is a threat, credible or otherwise, that the US government is going to take their firearms. And, when I hear this crazy talk, I agree with them openly. “ You are right. They will pry your gun from your cold dead hands,” which I often follow with the question, “And where will that leave you except face down in a pool of your own blood [in] the middle of the street, just another dead fool resisting the State?”This is not a question they are comfortable with, if only because the intent of their saber-rattling was to imply they would fight to keep their weapons, and win. Nice fantasy. It’s not happening.…they will take your guns, and no, all your Second Amendment bluster aside, you are not going to do anything about it. If the federal government decides to disarm the public, and when the increasingly-militarized police force rolls down your street after a not-so-subtle request that you kindly turn over your firearms and ammunition “for the common good,” it will be nothing less than suicide by cop to do anything other than what you are told. The militarization of US police forces is ongoing and escalating. Many cities and towns now own tanks, armed personnel carriers, even attack helicopters, and almost all are outfitted with military weapons not available to the general public. And, it is not just your hometown cops who are getting new boy-toys."

"text": "U. S. foreign and defense policy has reached a critical juncture. In an astonishingly brief period of time, the world—and America’s place in it—has changed dramatically. During this period, presidential elections, the financial crisis, and government shutdown politics largely supplanted overseas engagements and foreign affairs in the minds of the White House and Congress. The swearing-in of a new Congress and a new majority party in the Senate provides an important opportunity to reassess the objectives of U. S. foreign policy and to align other policy priorities accordingly. The U. S. defense budget is the first among the items to reconsider in the context of a changing international landscape. While foreign policy matters cannot simply be solved with more money for defense, little can be expected to change without it. Consecutive years of across-the-board budget cuts have significantly weakened the U. S. military. The military will likely need several years of reinvestment to return to a sound footing, and a higher defense budget for fiscal year (FY) 2016 would be an encouraging start. To that end, for FY 2016, Congress should increase the discretionary caps on defense instituted by the Budget Control Act of 2011 (BCA). Specifically, Congress should allocate $584 billion to defense spending for FY 2016."

"text": "\"What does America's Second Amendment really mean? What are the U. S. gun laws? Your video will begin momentarily. December 18th, 201211:01 AM ETThe Second Amendment to the United States Constitution is the section of the Bill of Rights that enshrines American's right to keep and bear arms, or weapons. CNN Legal Analyst Jeffrey Toobin examined this text in the wake of the latest mass shooting in the United States. “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. \"\" For 100 years, the Supreme Court said that the second part of the text had nothing to do with individuals' rights to bear arms, according to Toobin. But four years ago, the Supreme Court, in a case called “Heller,” said the Second Amendment does mean that individuals have the right to a handgun at home. What is not clear is how much more Americans have a right to: whether they have a right to handguns in the streets, whether they have a right to machine guns, semi-automatic weapons. But handguns at home, at least, are protected by the U. S. Constitution."

Military to arrest American citizens in their own back yard without charge or trial'?100Claim: The National Defense Authorization Act would allow “the U. S. Military to arrest American citizens in their own back yard without charge or trial. ”MIXTUREExample: [Collected via e-mail, November 2011]The Senate is set to vote on a bill today that would define the whole of the United States as a “battlefield” and allow the U. S. Military to arrest American citizens in their own back yard without charge or trial. “The Senate is going to vote on whether Congress will give this president — and every future president — the power to order the military to pick up and imprison without charge or trial civilians anywhere in the world. The power is so broad that even U. S. citizens could be swept up by the military and the military could be used far from any battlefield, even within the United States itself,” writes Chris Anders of the ACLU Washington Legislative Office. Under the ‘worldwide indefinite detention without charge or trial’ provision of S.1867, the National Defense Authorization Act bill, which is set to be up for a vote on the Senate floor this week, the legislation will “basically say in law for the first time that the homeland is part of the battlefield,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S. C.), who supports the bill. The bill was drafted in secret by Senators Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and John Mc Cain (R-Ariz.), before being passed in a closed-door committee meeting without any kind of hearing. The language appears in sections 1031 and 1032 of the NDAA bill. “I would also point out that these provisions raise serious questions as to who we are as a society and what our Constitution seeks to protect,” Colorado Senator Mark Udall said in a speech last week. “"

"text": "Research August 3, 2016The Antideficiency Act: A Primer Gordon Gray Executive Summary [1]The Antideficiency Act (ADA) bars federal employees from spending or otherwise obligating funds to be spent in excess of amounts or for the purpose approved by Congress, accepting voluntary services, or spending or otherwise obligating funds in excess of agency spending plans. Unique to all budget laws includes potential criminal penalties, in addition to administrative sanctions, for violations. However, no one has ever been prosecuted under this statute. In the past ten years 8 federal employees have been suspended or removed from their positions for violations. Despite these possible penalties, violations continue to occur, with 197 violations reported covering more than $9.66 billion dollars – with a $1.6 billion expenditure being the largest instance. While seemingly related to budget minutiae, the ADA is remarkably broad in its influence on governance: it determines the mechanics of government shutdowns and has arisen in a diverse array of public policy areas from the Bergdahl prisoner exchange to ongoing litigation over the Affordable Care Act. Introduction Article I, section 9 of the Constitution states: “No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law.” It is from this clause that Congress derives its “power of the purse,” or its prerogative over the nation’s finances. It is Congress’s most jealously guarded authority and likely the strongest check against the power of the executive branch. But these 16 words are hardly definitive and leave room for quite a bit of interpretation not often shared at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue."

Here’s the lekker lowdown on local lingos and the official language of South Africa Last Update: February 17, 2017While countries the world over usually have one or perhaps two official languages, the post-Apartheid democratic constitution recognises 11 official languages as part of South Africa’s multi-cultural heritage. The decision to recognise so many languages was a pointed effort at elevating and advancing the indigenous tongues that were suppressed and given lower social status by the government before 1994. Today, thanks to our country’s rich and diverse melting pot population, the majority of South Africans are able to speak more than one language and will often employ several of them during a single conversation. English, which was brought over by the British back in the 1800s, is the lingua franca and is the most frequently used language in media and by politicians and government officials; although, speakers of Afrikaans, Xhosa, Zulu, Northern Sotho, Southern Sotho, Tsonga, Setswana, Venda, Swati and Ndebele can certainly find radio and TV programmes as well as newspapers in their mother tongue. Other unofficial languages recognised in the constitution include the Khoi, San and Nama languages, Sign language, Portuguese, Hindi and indigenous creoles. In order to encourage Mzansi’s multilingual diversity and advance the use of all the official languages, the Basic Education Department is initiating a pilot programme to introduce a third South African language into primary schools’ curriculum for the 2014 academic year (most schools teach English and Afrikaans or English and another South African language). The Western Cape Education Department is already considering introducing Xhosa, which is widely spoken in the province, to Grade R and One pupils in 80 schools. Having said that, here’s a quick breakdown of South Africa’s terrific tongues, but don’t expect to learn what “now now” and “just now” actually mean."

S. federal government contracts. Specifically, the Federal Acquisition Regulation Council (FAR Council) – defined to include the Department of Defense (Do D), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the General Services Administration (GSA), the Department of Labor (DOL), the Do D, the GSA and the Small Business Administration (SBA) all have issued specific Agency rules pertaining to performance and compliance under government contracts. Additionally, the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) has issued recent internal guidance in 2016 that contractors should be knowledgeable of as well. Further discussion of 10 recent and noteworthy government contract compliance requirements and guidance items are summarized below. Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces Executive Order Synopsis – The FAR Council and the DOL issued a final rule August 25, 2016, effective October 25, 2016, implementing Executive Order 13673. The final rule requires, among other things, contractors to report to the government labor law violations under 14 specific labor laws. Key provisions of this final rule include: Applicability limited to the legal entity responsible for performing the contract;Effective dates to be on a phased-in schedule starting October 25, 2016 and initially limited to a one-year lookback;For the one-year period beginning October 25, 2016, disclosures of labor law violations will be required only for prime contractors – subcontractor disclosures will not be required until October 25, 2017 and subcontractors are obligated to report directly to the DOL, not the prime contractor;For the first six months after October 25, 2016, the requirement for prime contractors to disclose labor law violations will apply only under solicitations valued at $50 million or more; starting April 25, 2017, solicitations valued at or above $500,000 will be covered; and,Starting September 12, 2016, the DOL will offer a “pre-assessment” process, which will allow contractors to come forward to the DOL “to discuss their history of compliance with labor laws” and secure guidance on whether “additional compliance measures are necessary. ”Takeaway – Contractors should assess now internal business system processes and capabilities to monitor, track and report applicable violations. Ideally, other processes or internal controls exist and are operating effectively to avoid a violation to begin with. Some form of supply chain oversight, perhaps a representation from the subcontractor, should also be considered."

The Chinese army has since been intervening regularly but this has now gone far beyond the limit. Now that China signals for a possible war, let us analyze what does this have to mean and what do the number and stats say about comparison between the military strengths of the two countries. Let’s start off with a few lesser known facts : India is the world’s largest importer of military goods.

' Private Purchase' were military items that were brought out of pocket by officers and senior non-commissioned officers for their use and remained their private property. Being 'all G.

I. first in the American Civil War and again later in the First World War when they were required to accept the issue of uniforms and equipment from U. S. Army sources. The USAF originated out of the U. S. Army in 1947 so in a sense they have always been 'G. I.' The U. S. Navy is 'G.

June 7, 2016 / Michael Graham (MGIII) / 7 Comments Every damn day I talk to people who don’t understand what the 2nd Amendment means so I’m going to break it down for you, explain in terms even a Liberal can understand…whether they choose to admit it remains to be seen. The 2nd amendment. “A WELL REGULATED MILITIA,… (The first thing people need to understand is what “well regulated” meant in the 17 and 1800’s . It didn’t mean the same thing as to what people think it means now. Today, Regulated means, to control or direct according to rule, principle, or law. In the 17 and 1800’s Regulated meant, to put or maintain in order. So, when our founders wrote the 2nd Amendment and used “A Well Regulated” for the first 3 words, they were referring to “a well armed and well trained” militia, not that the government should, needs or has the authority to dictate what types of firearms we can and cannot KEEP, or where we have the right to BEAR them. People nowadays think it means that the government has the right to regulate our firearms but any rational intelligent person would understand that if it meant what they thought it meant back when our founders wrote it today it would contradict with the “shall not be infringed” part, right?… but we’ll get to that in a minute, but first lets discuss what an actual militia is and isn’t."

Does the graduate get to choose or does the Army choose for you? Follow 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: You get to have a say in what you want to go, Active, Guard, or Reserve, but only Guard/Reserve are guaranteed. Contrary to what many people think, in ROTC going Active Duty is considered a privilege and not a guarantee. If you want in the Guard/Reserve, you will get it, but if you want Active, you will usually get it, but if you are pretty low on the National Order of Merit List, then odds are you may get Guard/Reserve in a branch you do not want.

"text": "For hundreds of years, people have been using Arnica for bruising and swelling, as well as a remedy for minor injuries. If you are curious about why Arnica is so useful for bruising, we are here to help explain. To get started, let’s go through a brief 101 on bruises and how they form. More Articles About Arnica for Bruising What Causes Bruises? When your body experiences enough impact with another surface or object, it has a reaction. Essentially, in these moments of trauma, the blood vessels closest to the outer layers of your skin burst, causing blood to flow to the surface; the result is a nice black-and-blue bruise (and maybe a decorative bump). In order for the bruised area to heal, your blood vessels need to stop stressing and allow the blood (in the bruise) to be absorbed back into the body 1. Therefore, one of the major reasons homeopathic Arnica is so successful against bruising is because of its relaxing effect on the body’s blood vessels 2. How to Heal Bruises Faster If you want to help a bruise heal more rapidly than it would if left unattended, you can apply a dose of topical Arnica to the affected area. Topical Arnica is usually best for skin bruises; however, homeopathic Arnica tablets can also be helpful."

It is found on the moist, grassy upland meadows in the hills and mountains of northern and central Europe and Siberia. It is also found sparsely in the northwestern United States. St. Hildegard, a nun known for her keen observation of nature and physiology, among other things, wrote about the healing properties of the Arnica montana plant in the 12 th century. Since at least the 16 th century, mountain people in the Alpine area have used it to relieve muscle aches and bruises. Today, Arnica has grown to be one of the most popular homeopathic medicines throughout the world. It is trusted by professional athletes to soothe sore muscles, by prominent cosmetic surgeons to relieve post-procedure pain, and by savvy moms to treat playground bumps and bruises. Arnica can also be used to relieve stiffness from flying or long-distance driving. And anyone who bruises easily will appreciate Arnica’s ability to reduce bruise discoloration. To help recover from minor injuries, overexertion or surgery, Arnica is a must for every medicine cabinet."

It has been used medicinally for many centuries and it is both beautiful and a great healer when used topically. Please be cautious and informed before using internally. If you want to grow it in the home garden, you'll need to be in a cool climate zone (USDA cooler zones of 5 to 9). [ 1]Steps1 Obtain Arnica seedlings or use a division from the root of an existing plant. Be aware that there are legal restrictions on Arnica in the United States (it has been ruled unsafe for internal use). While Arnica can be grown from seed, it takes up to two years for it to germinate, so you'll need to be patient! If sowing seeds, do so in early spring in a shallow tray filled with equal parts loam, sand, and peat. Keep in a cold frame or a greenhouse until mid-spring.2 Select a suitable place to grow the Arnica."

For years—decades, really—walking onto the grounds of the Daytona International Speedway has been a walk back in time. The time warp was both spiritual, through the ghosts of great races of the past, and technological, because the speedway itself was a throwback. Official Daytona International Speedway - DAYTONA Rising Construction Time-Lapse Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available. Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 2:21Not anymore. The history of the great NASCAR race remains, but the track is leaping into the future thanks to the $400 million Daytona Rising project that debuts for public eyes with this weekend's running of the Daytona 500. Daytona has taken one of the world's most recognizable racetracks—a 1959-built 2.5-mile tri-oval near the water in Daytona Beach, Florida—and turned it into something new to motorsports: a real stadium. Daytona International Speedway The reinvention of Daytona started with steel. The International Speedway Corporation, which owns the place, reworked the entirety of the grandstand, reusing and adding steel to increase the angle of the seats for improved sightlines, and replacing all the 15-inch-wide seats with new 20-inch or 21-inch seats."

And you simply agree because you know you’ll need a modem go online. But with just a bit of research, you can buy your own modem and save hundreds of dollars over a few years. Comcast, Century Link, Time Warner, and other companies try to make you think that you need to rent their modem, but they’re just trying to squeeze you for more money. Don’t let them do it! Buy your own modem to take control of your Internet access and save yourself some cash in the process. Why Buy a Modem? If your cable Internet provider is going to come to your house and get everything set up, including a modem and a router, why should you go through the trouble of buying your own? Modem rental isn’t usually very expensive — usually between $5 and $10 each month. What’s the big deal?"

Using the SNMP get/set/walk programming already existing within this modem's router configuration pages, I demonstrate with Firefox F12 tools and research of ARRIS SNMP MIBs how I set the technician password. This permits access to the Advanced diagnostic pages in the modem which in past models required the use of the ARRISPOTD generator. Modem Firmware version date is August 15, 2015. This falls into the realm of a privilege escalation exploit and can be easily scripted. It is also possible to dump the modem's full SNMP data - not shown. Requirements: Firefox with F12 tools working, network tab opened Access to 192.168.100.1 UIs on port 80 and 8080 Valid admin login credentials (default user/pass combo is admin/password) Technician password one set becomes the POTD for the port 80 pages, and for the router pages the username is technician, password is as set. UPDATE: Password can be changed at anytime, it must be minimum 10 characters long, or the modem doesn't 'accept' it, haven't tried longer. This does not work for 192.168.100.1/cgi-bin/tech_support_cgi page, there is another password at play or the page is broken. A firmware dump and reverse compiling is required to research this."

( July 2015)Switched video or switched digital video ( SDV ), sometimes referred to as switched broadcast ( SWB ), is a telecommunications industry term for a network scheme for distributing digital video via a cable. Switched video sends the digital video in a more efficient manner so that additional uses may be made of the freed up bandwidth. The scheme applies to digital video distribution both on typical cable TV systems using QAM channels, or on IPTV systems. Users of analog video transmitted on the cable are unaffected. See diagram to the right for an illustration of how switched video saves bandwidth on a cable company's cables in the last mile where channels are transmitted via coaxial cable. In current HFC systems, a fiber optic network extending from the operator's head end carries all video channels out to a fiber optic node which services any number of homes ranging from 1 to 2000."

A CMTS provides many of the same functions provided by the DSLAM in a DSL system. Contents [ hide ]1 Connections2 Architectures2.1 Integrated CMTS (I-CMTS)2.2 Modular CMTS (M-CMTS)3 Manufacturers3.1 Current3.2 Historical4 See also5 References6 External links Connections [ edit]In order to provide high speed data services, a cable company will connect its headend to the Internet via very high capacity data links to a network service provider. On the subscriber side of the headend, the CMTS enables the communication with subscribers' cable modems. Different CMTSs are capable of serving different cable modem population sizes—ranging from 4,000 cable modems to 150,000 or more, depending in part on traffic. A given headend may have between 1-12 CMTSs to service the cable modem population served by that headend or HFC hub. One way to think of a CMTS is to imagine a router with Ethernet interfaces (connections) on one side and coaxial cable RF interfaces on the other side. The RF/coax interfaces carry RF signals to and from the subscriber's cable modem. In fact, most CMTSs have both Ethernet interfaces (or other more traditional high-speed data interfaces like SONET) as well as RF interfaces. In this way, traffic that is coming from the Internet can be routed (or bridged) through the Ethernet interface, through the CMTS and then onto the RF interfaces that are connected to the cable company's hybrid fiber coax ( HFC )."

"text": "Top 5 Best Wi Fi Modem/Routers of 20186.2K Views 0 Shares 20 Comments By Matt Malmlund Aug 17, 2015 at 6:46pm ISPs like Comcast, Time Warner, Charter, and Cox are notorious for cajoling their customers into unnecessary equipment rental. If you are currently renting a modem or router from your ISP, consider replacing their mediocre rental equipment with your own networking gear. It will be yours to own, and most decent units cost less than one year of rental fees. Though you have the option to purchase a separate modem and router, combo units are usually the more affordable, convenient option. Sure, if you are trying to push online gaming to its limits, you might be better off with a quality cable modem and one of the best AC routers. Aside from that, even an average modem router can handle everyday tasks like streaming, web surfing, and uploading. All of these modem/routers are designed to work with cable internet, so make sure you don’t have a DSL or Fi OS service before you buy one. The modems on each unit are the latest DOCSIS 3.0 standard, and will work problem-free with any major service provider. Also don’t forget, if you get your home phone service bundled with your Wi Fi, you will need a special modem to support this feature. And so long as you make these basic compatibility checks, you’re free to cut equipment rentals out of the picture completely.1."

It's a beautiful tale about a bunch of underdogs fighting a war that they don't seem capable of winning, sweeping across the sprawling landscape with epic battles and triumphant victories not only within Middle Earth, but within the characters as well. The Hobbit fights to emulate this in each episode of its trilogy, but really only managed to capture part of the magic. But why? Peter Jackson directed both trilogies; the screenplays were all written by him, Fran Walsh, and Philippa Boyens; so, w hy did one work while the other didn't?

Miller Last updated: April 9, 2018 104 Comments Update to this post: I have decided to replace my Comcast modem with my own modem + router, an Arris DOCSIS 3.0 SB6190 cable modem (you may also want to check out the Motorola MBB7420 model ). I paired it with the TP-Link Wireless-N router . This setup pays for itself in less than a year, and then it’s free for life!If you have Comcast (“XFinity” these days) high-speed internet, this post will instruct you on three ways to get rid of your router rental fee. It’s also an tale of how Comcast has increased their gateway rental fee to a whopping $11 per month over the last few years to turn it into a nice little secondary revenue stream. Even if you just have a long-seeded disdain for Comcast or other greedy corporate giants, like I do, you will enjoy this story…If you don’t have Comcast and have another Internet service provider, the same advice may also apply. The Comcast XFinity Modem Rental Fee Saga: How I Found Three Ways to Get Rid of the Fee When I first moved to my existing home, I signed up for Comcast high-speed Internet, with wireless networking (wifi). As part of the installation, Comcast put in a Netgear cable modem that also dubbed as a wifi router. I didn’t know it at the time of installation, but on my first bill, I noticed that Comcast started charging me $3 to rent this modem. That’s right – for the privilege of paying them $40 a month for internet service, I also had to pay $3 per month to rent the equipment to do it (that price has skyrocketed to $11 per month today). I was kind of irritated, so I started searching around for Comcast supported modems & routers."

Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 2:36ARRI today announced their new ALEXA LF camera. The latest in their ALEXA camera line, it features a large format sensor. Watch my sneak peek at this exciting camera, as well as ARRI's new Signature Prime lenses. ALEXA LF's sensor is slightly larger than full frame (36.70 x 25.54 mm) and has a full open gate resolution of 4448 x 3096 photosites. This is done by combining two ALEXA sensors together, just one less then is found in the ALEXA 65. Because of this, the camera has the same dynamic range, color, and characteristics found across the ARRI camera line. The camera also features a new LPL (Large Positive Lock) mount that is designed to work with their new line of ARRI Signature Prime lenses. These new lenses, 16 in all, cover the full sensor of the LF and are all very fast – most being T1.8. The LPL mount can be adapted to work with PL lenses (an adapter is included with the camera), so existing PL lenses can also be used on the LF."

While it was happening, I viewed this terrible experience and the years I spent trying to regain my health as an unmitigated disaster. I have since discovered the gift of the misfortune. The \"\"disaster\"\" occurred while I was working as a dental hygienist, which I did from 1967 to 1983. At that time, protective masks were not standard practice in the dental field, and the health risk involved in polishing silver-mercury amalgam fillings was not recognized. When dental fillings are polished, they emit small amounts of mercury, which can be both absorbed through the skin and inhaled by the dentist or hygienist, as well as the patient. Mercury is a known neuro- and immunotoxin. In 1983, I developed alarming symptoms that rapidly worsened and multiplied until I was completely disabled. What began as mild dizziness and fatigue progressed to extreme symptoms similar to multiple sclerosis (MS): visual disturbances, pain, tremors, jerky movements in my limbs, constant low-grade fever, weight loss of 50 pounds, and extreme exhaustion."

Introduction Because it targets widely dispersed enzyme reactions, arsenic affects nearly all organ systems. The most sensitive endpoint from arsenic exposure is dermal effects. While several studies may identify effects on other endpoints at the same exposure level that produces dermal effects, the database for dermal effects is stronger than for effects on other endpoints [ATSDR 2007]Key physiologic effects from arsenic exposure that will be covered in detail later. Patchy skin hyperpigmentation, small focal keratoses, and other skin lesions are common effects of heavy chronic exposure. It is difficult to establish strong associations between arsenic exposure and disease, as the prevalence and spectrum of diseases linked to chronic arsenic exposure differ not only between countries, but even within countries. Arsenic can cause lung and skin cancers and may cause other cancers. The association between chronic arsenic exposure and cancer is strongest for skin, lung, and bladder cancer. Liver (angiosarcoma), kidney, and other cancers have limited strength of association [IARC 2004; NRC 2000]. Note that when strength of association (defined as the magnitude of the relative risk in the exposed group compared with that in the control group) is mentioned throughout this section, it refers to one of the five criteria used to decide whether a positive association in epidemiologic studies indicates causality."

In many places, you can't drink tap water in India directly and safe or pure drinking water is a big concern for most of us. Mita Majumdar | Updated: June 16, 2017 10:31 am0 Shares Facebook share Twitter share Share on Google+Tags: Bottled water Drinking Water Mineral water Pure drinking water Water filter Every year 37.7 million people in India are affected by waterborne diseases due to contamination of water by bacteria ( E coli, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae ), viruses ( Hepatitis A, polio virus, rota virus) and parasites ( E. histolytica, Giardia, hook worm ). Luckily, antibiotics and other medicine can treat most water-borne diseases. What is more worrying is the presence of arsenic and other heavy metals such as cadmium, zinc and mercury. These metals cause metabolic disruptions and damage the nervous system and kidneys irreversibly. They are also known to cause cancers of colon, liver, kidney and lung. Arsenic has been found to be way above the 0.01 mg/litre WHO guideline value and 0.05 mg/litre Indian standard of arsenic in drinking water in some parts of West Bengal, Bihar, UP, Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh. [ 2] Scientists have also linked arsenic in drinking water to greater risk of H1N1 (swine flu) infection because of lowered immune response.

Aluminum cookware is particularly of concern if acid foods are cooked such as tomato paste (contains salicylates). In cosmetics and deodorants, aluminum chloride may be present as an astringent. In water purification, alum (sodium aluminum sulfate) may be used to coagulate dispersed solids and improve water clarity. Alumina or Al203 is very stable chemically and not bioavailable. Silica limits the solubility of aluminum and aluminum silicate is not very bioavailable. Clays, bentonite for example, contain aluminum that has poor bio-availability."

Rao BURNSA burn is an injury which is caused by application of heat or chemical substances to the external or internal surfaces of the body, which causes destruction of tissues. The minimum temperature for producing a burn is about 44 o C for an exposure of about 5 to 6 hours or about 65 o C for two seconds are sufficient to produce burns. Varieties of Burns: The external appearances of burns vary according to the nature of the substance used to produce them. A highly heated solid body or a molten metal, when applied to the body for a very short time may produce only a blister and reddening corresponding in size and shape to the material used. It will cause destruction, or even charring of the parts, when kept in contact for sometime. The epidermis may be found blackened, dry, and wrinkled. The hair may be singed or distorted. Burns produced by flame may or may not produce vesication, but singeing of the hair and blackening of the skin are always present. Hair singed by the flame becomes curled, twisted, blackish, breaks off or is totally destroyed. Roasted patches of skin or deeper parts may be seen."

"text": "The Health Dangers of Arsenic Toxicityby Dr. Edward Group DC, NP, DACBN, DCBCN, DABFMPublished on March 6, 2013 , Last Updated on December 4, 2015Arsenic is an element that is extremely toxic to human health. Arsenic poisoning or arsenicosis occurs when someone is exposed to high levels of arsenic, typically by unknowingly ingesting it. Although uncommon, poisoning can occur by inhalation or through dermal absorption. [ 1] Despite this, or maybe because of it, humans have used arsenic in many capacities- as an insecticide, as a toxic agent of war, and even as a wood preservation. However, its use in countless industrial applications has contributed to pollution at all levels. Additionally, arsenic exists naturally in the environment. The combination of these factors means that the most common method of exposure occurs by drinking contaminated water. Arsenic in Water Pollution has made groundwater contamination of arsenic a worldwide problem that affects people, crops, and livestock. [ 2] In 2012, the University of Washington School of Law published information that brought light to the fact that many water systems in the United States are affected by unacceptably high arsenic levels and money is not available to address the problem. Poor communities were identified to be the highest at risk. ["

"text": "\"Fluoridation Chemicals The fluoride chemicals used to fluoridate drinking water are: fluorosilicic acid, sodium fluorosilicate, and sodium fluoride. Unlike the fluoride compounds found in toothpaste or supplements, fluoridation chemicals are not pharmaceutical grade quality. They are, instead, unpurified industrial by-products that are collected in the air pollution control systems of certain industries. Due to the lack of processing, these chemicals are known to contain elevated levels of certain contaminants, particularly arsenic. In addition, recent research — including both epidemiological and laboratory investigations — have detected associations between the fluoridation of water with fluorosilicic acid and elevated lead exposure, particularly those living in houses with old pipes.1. The Industrial Sources of the Chemicals Until recently, all fluoridation chemicals were obtained from the wet scrubbing systems of the phosphate fertilizer industry in central Florida. In recent years, however, an increasing number of water departments have begun purchasing their fluoride chemicals from China. Based on recent incidents, it appears that the quality control of the Chinese chemicals is even more lax, and variable, than the U. S.-produced chemicals. Phosphate Fertilizer Industry (Florida, US)In the process of converting phosphate rock into soluble fertilizer, two very toxic fluoride gases are released: hydrogen fluoride and silicon tetrafluoride. In the past, the phosphate industry used to let these two gases vent freely into the atmosphere."

"text": "\"FEBRUARY 6, 2015 by JOHN SUMMERLYA Warning About Cinder Block or Concrete Masonry Gardens Cinder block gardens have recently become very popular, however a risk of heavy metal poisons from Fly Ash within the concrete may pose a serious threat to the health of an organic garden, leeching toxins into the soil and the plants themselves. Cinder blocks to build raised beds and also to plant directly inside the cells of this block are being promoted on Youtube videos and gardening sites. However, there is a strong possibility of poisons in the construction of these products that should deter anyone from using them to grow food. The product Fly Ash is used as a Portland Cement replacement for up to 30% of the cement used to manufacture these products. For those of you unaware, Fly Ash is generally captured by electrostatic precipitators or other particle filtration equipment before the flue gases reach the chimneys of coal-fired power plants, and together with bottom ash removed from the bottom of the furnace is in this case jointly known as coal ash. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has little power to restrict any chemical, but they've been investigating whether or not to label Fly Ash as a Hazardous Waste due to the high levels of heavy metals including arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium, chromium and selenium, as well as aluminum, antimony, barium, beryllium, boron, chlorine, cobalt, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, thallium, vanadium, and zinc, leaving some \"\"Industry Folk\"\" to refer to concrete as the \"\"New Asbestos\"\" or the \"\"New Lead Paint\"\". If eaten, drunk or inhaled, these toxicants can cause cancer and nervous system impacts such as cognitive deficits, developmental delays and behavioral problems. They can also cause heart damage, lung disease, respiratory distress, kidney disease, reproductive problems, gastrointestinal illness, birth defects, and impaired bone growth in children. The EPA has found that living next to a coal ash disposal site can increase your risk of cancer or other diseases. If you live near an unlined wet ash pond (surface impoundment) and you get your drinking water from a well, you may have as much as a 1 in 50 chance of getting cancer from drinking arsenic-contaminated water."

Recommended Residential Water Quality Testing (2006, NYS Dept. of Health)Public water supplies are tested frequently for contaminants, and suppliers are required to provide test results to their customers annually. If you are on a public water supply (whether municipal or a small community system), get and read a copy of the test report (Consumer Confidence Report). These tests are usually done on the water at the treatment plant. Residents may have concerns about the quality of municipal water reaching their home (after it has been distributed through water mains and their home plumbing), and may want to conduct further tests on their water. Testing a private water supply is generally the responsibility of the property owner.

"text": "A ANew study finds arsenic in infant formula, cereal bars Consumer Reports News: February 16, 2012 06:08 AMArsenic has been found in some foods that use organic brown rice syrup as a sweetener, including infant formula and cereal bars, according to a new study by researchers at Dartmouth College. The majority of the detected arsenic, a contaminant often found in rice, was the type that is known to be a human carcinogen. Important findings of the study, published online Feb. 16 by the peer-reviewed journal Environmental Health Perspectives include: Two of 17 infant formulas tested listed organic brown rice syrup as the primary ingredient. One had a total arsenic concentration that was six times the federal limit of 10 parts per billion (ppb) for total arsenic in bottled or public drinking water. This is particularly worrisome for babies because they are especially vulnerable to arsenic’s toxic effects due to their small size and the corresponding arsenic consumption per pound of body weight. Twenty-two of 29 cereal bars or energy bars tested listed at least one of these four rice products—organic brown rice syrup, rice flour, rice grain or rice flakes - among the top five ingredients. The seven other bars were among the lowest in total arsenic, ranging from 8 to 27 ppb, while those containing syrup or other forms of rice ranged from 23 to 128 ppb. Tests of high-energy products known as “energy shots” that are used by endurance athletes and others showed that one of the three gel-like blocks contained 84 ppb of total arsenic, while the other two contained 171 ppb. The Dartmouth researchers conclude that given the increasing prevalence of hidden arsenic in food, “there is an urgent need for regulatory limits on As (arsenic) in food.” They also cited Consumer Reports’ recent investigation, which found elevated levels of arsenic in apple and grape juices, as further evidence that U. S. consumers are being exposed to worrisome concentrations of arsenic in foods and beverages."

Printable information sheet Contact for more information What is arsenic? Arsenic is a naturally occurring substance that can be present in air, groundwater, soil, rocks, and metal ores. Arsenic has no taste or odor. While it is not common, it is possible for high levels to occur in groundwater just about anywhere in Minnesota. Arsenic exists in different chemical forms that are separated into two groups: inorganic arsenic or organic arsenic. Inorganic forms of arsenic are found in soil, rock, and water. Most people regularly take in tiny amounts (about 6 micrograms per day) from food and water. Large amounts of inorganic arsenic can be harmful to your health."

Following our January investigation, \"\" Arsenic in Your Juice ,\"\" which found arsenic in apple and grape juices, we recently tested more than 200 samples of a host of rice products. They included iconic labels and store brands, organic products and conventional ones; some were aimed at the booming gluten-free market. The results of our tests were even more troubling in some ways than our findings for juice. In virtually every product tested, we found measurable amounts of total arsenic in its two forms. We found significant levels of inorganic arsenic, which is a carcinogen, in almost every product category, along with organic arsenic, which is less toxic but still of concern. Moreover, the foods we checked are popular staples, eaten by adults and children alike. See the chart summarizing results of our tests for arsenic in rice or rice products.

"text": "From Contamination to Beautification: Ferns Remove Arsenic From Soil For Teachers Introduction Arsenic is a chemical element that has the symbol As. Arsenic is widely distributed in nature and is associated with the ores of metals such as gold, lead, and copper. Arsenic also enters the environment through human activities, as arsenic is often used in pesticides, dyes, and chemical weapons. The arsenic compound chromated copper arsenate (CCA) has also been used as a wood preservative. At high doses, arsenic is a poison to humans and other animals which can cause death, and at lower doses over a longer time, it can also cause cancer. Arsenic contamination of soil and water is thus an environmental health issue. In 2001, University of Florida researcher Lena Ma discovered that the Chinese brake fern ( Pteris vittata) grows well in arsenic-contaminated soil. This plant accumulates large amounts of arsenic in its fronds, the portion of the fern that is above ground. This discovery led to the idea that brake fern could help clean up arsenic-contaminated soil. The use of plants to clean up contaminated soil and water is called phytoremediation."

The lack of an outlet causes high levels of salts to accumulate in the lake. These salts also make the lake water alkaline. This desert lake has an unusually productive ecosystem based on brine shrimp that thrive in its waters, and provides critical nesting habitat for two million annual migratory birds that feed on the shrimp and blackflies (that also feed on the shrimp).

"text": "Growing Adult Brine Shrimp By: William Berg General Info: Brine shrimps or artemia is a zooplankton used as fry food although Brine shrimps can be grown to about 20 mm (0.8 inch) in length and be a valuable food source for adult fishes. What makes brine shrimps such ideal fry food is their good nutritional value, that they can live 5 hours in fresh water before they die and the fact that the eggs can be stored for many years as long as they are kept away from water and oxygen. Once the tried eggs are returned into oxygenated saltwater they resume their development and hatch. This is an adaptation to living in dessert lakes that dries out. The hatching time is depending on the temperature and takes 15 to 20 hours at 25°C (77°F). A Higher temperature shortens hatching time. The optimal hatching temperature is depending on the origin of the brine shrimps however temperatures between 25-30°C (77-86°F) are to be recommended. - Recommended salinity is 30-35 ppt (1.022-1.026 density) - PH 8.0 (p H 6.0-9.0 is acceptable) Once they hatch they enter the Umbrella stage during which the larva doesn’t feed since they don’t have any developed mouth or anus. They survive on their yolk sack during this time. After 12 hours they enter the second stage if development and start feeding by filtering micro algae from the water."

This spot was once the tip of a peninsula jutting into the Aral Sea, which up until the 1960s was the world’s fourth largest inland body of water, covering some 26,000 square miles—an area larger than the state of West Virginia. Behind us lies the town of Muynoq, formerly a thriving fishing village with a sprawling cannery that even as recently as the 1980s processed thousands of tons of fish annually. Fifty years ago the southern shore of the Aral was right where we stand; now it lies 55 miles away to the northwest. Kamalov has brought me here to see what’s left of the once bountiful sea.

Acetate production might therefore harbour novel targets for the development of new anti-parasitic drugs. In parasites, acetate is produced from acetyl-Co A by two different reactions, both involving substrate level phosphorylation, that are catalysed by either a cytosolic acetyl-Co A synthetase (ACS) or an organellar acetate:succinate Co A-transferase (ASCT). The ACS reaction is directly coupled to ATP synthesis, whereas the ASCT reaction yields succinyl-Co A for ATP formation via succinyl-Co A synthetase (SCS). Based on recent work on the ASCTs of F. hepatica, T. vaginalis and Trypanosoma brucei we suggest the existence of three subfamilies of enzymes within the Co A-transferase family I. Enzymes of these three subfamilies catalyse the ASCT reaction in eukaryotes via the same mechanism, but the subfamilies share little sequence homology. The Co A-transferases of the three subfamilies are all present inside ATP-producing organelles of parasites, those of subfamily IA in the mitochondria of trypanosomatids, subfamily IB in the mitochondria of parasitic worms and subfamily IC in hydrogenosome-bearing parasites. Together with the recent characterisation among non-parasitic protists of yet a third route of acetate formation involving acetate kinase (ACK) and phosphotransacetylase (PTA) that was previously unknown among eukaryotes, these recent developments provide a good opportunity to have a closer look at eukaryotic acetate formation.

They also occur in many other bodies of water with any salt content, including the intermountain desert region of the western United States, salt swamps near any coast, and many man-made saltpans around the world. ( Grzimek, 1972; Pennak, 1989)Biogeographic Regions nearcticnativepalearcticnative Habitat Artemia salina have a remarkable resistance to change and are able to live in a wide variety of water salinity. All contain some salt content ranging from seawater (2.9-3.5%) to the Great Salt Lake (25-35%), and they can tolerate up to a 50% salt concentration, which is almost saturated. Some are found in salt swamps just inland of the dunes at the seashore, but never in the ocean itself, because there are too many predators. They also inhabit man-made evaporation ponds, used to obtain salt from the ocean. Their gills help them to deal with the high salt content by absorbing and excreting ions as necessary and producing a concentrated urine from the maxillary glands. The temperature of the water also varies greatly from around six to 37 deg C, with the optimal reproduction temperature at about 25 deg C or room temperature. One advantage of their salty location means that they have very few predators, but the disadvantage is their diet is limited.

Having said that, let's get started. Cichlids can be categorized into four groups, each with unique dietary needs: Carnivorous: These fish prey on other fish, especially the fry of other species. Herbivorous: These fish are grazers and subsist by scraping algae off of rocks. Omnivorous: These fish have a variety in their diet, eating both plant matter, inverebrates, and small fish. Micro-predators: These fish eat small invertebrates such as artemia and plankton. It is important that you understand what group your fish belongs to, and then to feed them accordingly. For example, the Tropheus species of Lake Tanganyika are herbivorous. If you feed them lots of frozen or live foods, or even flake food high in fish meal, they may not take well to it and retaliate by contracting \"\"Bloat,\"\" the consequence usually being death. Having said that, I should add that herbivorous fish do need some \"\"meat\"\" in their diet, and carnivorous fish need some vegetable matter in theirs."

"text": "Featured Article Issue: August 2007The Subtropical Aquarium: A Cooler Kind of Fishkeeping Author: Neale Monks Photographer: Horst Linke There are some interesting and hardy species of aquarium fish that prefer conditions somewhere between the temperate and tropical temperatures of most aquaria. We’ve become so used to the tropical vs. coldwater aquarium dichotomy that it’s easy to forget that the natural world is really much more subtle. In between the tropical and the temperate zones are places that blend characteristics of the two, and they are known as the subtropics. Subtropical climates exist in places like Florida and Arizona, southern China, and the northern highlands of India, where it is usually very warm in summer but rather cooler in winter. Such climates are much warmer than those in the temperate zones, with temperatures low enough for snow or ice rarely occurring, but there is still much more variation between summer and winter than there is in the tropics. Animals and plants adapted to subtropical climates are therefore much more adaptable than tropical species, even if they lack the ability to tolerate freezing temperatures for long. In short, subtropical animals and plants like mild temperatures rather than hot ones, but they don’t mind fluctuations up or down provided they’re not too extreme or protracted. Unsurprisingly, perhaps, subtropical aquarium fish are among the hardiest species and include several that were kept during the very earliest development of the hobby. Perhaps best known is the paradise fish Macropodus operculari s, which naturally occurs in China and Korea. First imported into Europe during the mid Nineteenth Century, its ability to thrive in unheated aquaria as well as its attractive markings quickly made it a staple in the hobby."

The barnacles capture the live prey by lassooing and caging them in their 6 pairs of cirri. The basal regions of the anterior smaller cirri then push the prey items to the mouth region where they are compacted and swallowed. Gut analyses of field-collected Pollicipes disclose a wide variety of food matter, including algae, organic particulates, copepods, cirripede moults, amphipods, nauplii and cypris larvae, small clams and polychaetes, and hydroids. Guts of the oceanic Lepas contain similar food items, but with a greater variety of amphipods and caridean shrimps. The presence also of snails, clams, pycnogonids, and algae suggest that the barnacles continue to feed while the floating object bearing them is being washed about in the intertidal zone.

"text": "\"Ringed pipefish Seahorse Eyes Head Skeleton Male description Female description There are at least about 60 different kinds of seahorses and subspecies (hippocampus) in the world, varying in color and length from the dwarf pigmy of the Gulf (2,5 centimeters = 1 inch) to the great seahorse of the Pacific (35 centimeters = 14 inches). In Europe they do not exceed more than 15 centimeters = 6 inches. They are of the syngnathidae family which includes approximately 220 species. Their life span extends from 2 to 4 years in an aquarium. In the sea they usually live between the surface and shallow bottoms, near algae and sea grass, their life would be from 5 to 7 years according to the species. Only buy seahorses in specialised fish shops or in private breeders accustomed to an aquarium and substitute food (for instance hippocampus-hippocampus , erectus , guttulatus , histrix , kuda , reidi ,) Other species generally refuse to feed themselves in captivity or do not simply adapt themselves, and would necessitate breeding or obtaining live food identical in every way to that which they find in their natural environment. When you buy seahorses from a fish shop, ensure they are well-rounded (belly not collapsed, a sign of sickness or malnutrition), that it is proven to you that they feed themselves and especially to which food they are accustomed. Observe their behaviour which must be completely normal, that there is no abnormality on the body or the eyes etc (see the chapter on diseases). Don't by an animal just arrived at the fish shop, always await a 3 weeks minimum. Otherwise, if you see a couple, don't separate them, buy both of them they will be happy."

Who to target, how to do so as well as when and where to do it are all critical questions that must be answered before beginning any outreach campaign. While the goals of every company and campaign are different, there are many overlapping ways to reach and engage your audience effectively. So what should you do to make the most of your marketing budget? Here are 3 must-use strategies to employ across campaigns and channels.1. Content marketing drives mindshare If you are not already leveraging content marketing in your campaigns, now is the time hop on the train. According to a recent survey conducted by e Marketer, content marketing is a top priority for a full 39% of corporate marketers in 2013. Content marketing takes many forms: news, videos, ebooks, white papers, case studies, infographics, photo galleries, webinars and even blog posts. The basic idea behind it is to provide useful information to potential customers even though they may not be ready to buy your product or hire your services just yet. Every day people thoroughly research most purchases online before making a decision and by providing entertaining or educational content for them to use and enjoy, your brand can gain recognition and mindshare as a go-to source of valuable information."

The fisheries and aquaculture play a vital role in the social development by providing nutritional security and economic upliftment of fishers and fish farmers. Although, China and India are perhaps the traditional cradles of art of aquaculture, fish culture remained largely empirical artisanal in these countries till the recent past. But, modern genetic and biotechnological tools have been applied in India to boost up the fish production through aquaculture by upgrading the quality of cultivated fishes and fish seed; in the discovery and development of new natural resources; and for conservation and management of genetic diversity in natural fish stocks. The paper reviews the progress in research efforts applying modern genetic tools that are relevant to aquaculture and fisheries management in India.

CRP tests for heart disease It's thought that a high level of hs-CRP in your blood is associated with an increased risk of heart attacks. A CRP test doesn't indicate the cause of inflammation, though, so it's possible that a high hs-CRP level could mean there's inflammation caused by something besides your heart. The American Heart Association doesn't recommend an hs-CRP test for everyone.

The investigation is relatively easy to perform and yields information that can guide the management of acute and chronic illnesses. This information indicates a patient's acid-base balance, the effectiveness of their gas exchange and the state of their ventilatory control. Interpretation of an arterial blood gas result should not be done without considering the clinical findings. The results change as the body compensates for the underlying problem. Factors relating to sampling technique, specimen processing and environment may also influence the results. Introduction Arterial blood gas analysis is a common investigation in emergency departments and intensive care units for monitoring patients with acute respiratory failure. It also has some application in general practice, such as assessing the need for domiciliary oxygen therapy in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. An arterial blood gas result can help in the assessment of a patient's gas exchange, ventilatory control and acid–base balance. However, the investigation does not give a diagnosis and should not be used as a screening test."

Cerebrovascular disease includes all disorders in which an area of the brain is temporarily or permanently affected by bleeding or lack of blood flow. Cerebrovascular diseases included stroke, carotid stenosis, vertebral stenosis and intracranial stenosis, aneurysms and vascular malformations. Restrictions in blood flow may occur from vessel narrowing (stenosis), clot formation (thrombosis), blockage (embolism), or blood vessel rupture (hemorrhage). Lack of sufficient blood flow (ischemia) affects brain tissue and may cause a stroke. Cerebrovascular Disease Statistics Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States. Of the more than 700,000 people affected every year, about 500,000 of these are first attacks, and 200,000 are recurrent. About 25 percent of people who recover from their first stroke will have another stroke within five years. Stroke is a leading cause of serious long-term disability. Each year, an estimated 30,000 people in the United States experience a ruptured cerebral aneurysm and as many as 6 percent may have an unruptured aneurysm."

Our institution uses the left radial artery frequently. We access the artery by standing on the left side of the patient with the arm extended. Once the sheath is in, we bring the arm parallel to the body and raised up on pillows. We then move to the patient's right side and do the procedure by reaching across the body. In non-emergent cases, where groin access for a support device is unlikely, we add additional operator radiation protection by draping a lead shield across the patient's groin so the operator's hands are protected. We avoid the practice of draping the patient's hand across their chest, as this makes it difficult for patients to keep the arm still."

Blood Gas Analysis Definition Blood gas analysis, also called arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis, is a test which measures theamounts of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood, as well as the acidity (p H) of the blood. Purpose An ABG analysis evaluates how effectively the lungs are delivering oxygen to the blood and howefficiently they are eliminating carbon dioxide from it. The test also indicates how well the lungsand kidneys are interacting to maintain normal blood p H (acid-base balance). Blood gas studiesare usually done to assess respiratory disease and other conditions that may affect the lungs,and to manage patients receiving oxygen therapy (respiratory therapy). In addition, the acid-basecomponent of the test provides information on kidney function. Description Blood gas analysis is performed on blood from an artery. It measures the partial pressures of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood, as well as oxygen content, oxygen saturation,bicarbonate content, and blood p H. Oxygen in the lungs is carried to the tissues through the bloodstream, but only a small amount of this oxygen can actually dissolve in arterial blood. How much dissolves depends on the partialpressure of the oxygen (the pressure that the gas exerts on the walls of the arteries). Therefore,testing the partial pressure of oxygen is actually measuring how much oxygen the lungs aredelivering to the blood."

Angioplasty and stent insertion is used to treat narrowing in an artery. Angioplasty uses a small, sausage-shaped balloon to stretch the artery open and improve blood flow. The stent is a small, metal cylinder that acts like a small scaffold to hold the artery permanently open. Angioplasty is the name of the procedure carried out with the assistance of an angiogram, a special kind of X-ray image or picture that shows the arteries live on a screen. The procedure starts with an angiogram and is carried out through a skin puncture into the blood vessel that feeds the narrowed or diseased vessels. Most often, the skin puncture is in the groin, at the top of the leg. Less commonly, you may need to have the skin puncture in your upper arm, if the blood vessel in the groin cannot be used. A liquid contrast agent (sometimes referred to as contrast medium or dye) is injected into the artery to show the blood vessels on an X-ray image. Without contrast injection, blood vessels are invisible on X-rays."

The adrenal glands are found on top of your kidneys and are responsible for producing several important hormones. ALD affects blood pressure and also regulates sodium (salt) and potassium in your blood, among other functions. Too much ALD can contribute to high blood pressure and low potassium levels. It’s known as hyperaldosteronism when your body makes too much ALD. Primary hyperaldosteronism could be caused by an adrenal tumor (usually benign, or noncancerous).

From a purely practical standpoint, veins are easier to access due to their superficial location compared to the arteries which are located deeper under the skin. They have thinner walls (much less smooth muscle surrounding them) than arteries, and have less innervation, so piercing them with a needle requires less force and doesn't hurt as much. Venous pressure is also lower than arterial pressure, so there is less of a chance of blood seeping back out through the puncture point before it heals. Because of their thinner walls, veins tend to be larger than the corresponding artery in the area, so they hold more blood, making collection easier and faster. Finally, it is somewhat safer if a small embolism (bubble in the blood) is introduced into a vein rather than an artery. Blood flow in veins always goes to larger and larger vessels, so there is very little chance of a vessel being blocked by the embolism before the bubble reaches the heart/lungs and is hopefully destroyed. Blood flow in an artery, on the other hand, always moves into smaller and smaller vessels, eventually ending in capilllaries, and there is a chance that a bubble introduced by a blood draw (generally rare) or more commonly an intravenous line (IV) could block a small blood vessel, potentially leading to hypoxia in the affected tissues.share improve this answeredited Jan 24 '15 at 15:00answered Jan 18 '15 at 2:54Matt DMo11.2k 2 31 5211+1 - all good points."

Authors: Pamela Dugle (RN, MSN) , Raymond M. Lengel (ARNP)Outcomes The purpose of this course is reinforcing arterial blood gas interpretation skills; raise awareness and understanding of the various aspects of arterial blood gases, and provide a comfort level with the care of the patient by increasing the knowledge base. Objectives After completion of this course, the learner will: List the steps in obtaining an arterial blood gas sample Compare and contrast respiratory acidosis, respiratory alkalosis, metabolic acidosis, and metabolic alkalosis Discuss the causes of respiratory acidosis and alkalosis Discuss the causes of metabolic acidosis and alkalosis Identify the role of the ABG in a trauma assessment Introduction A study conducted in Illinois at Freeport Health Network Memorial Hospital and Swedish American Hospital demonstrated that a computer based module aided nurses to learn ABG interpretation (Schneiderman, Corbridge, & Zerwic, 2009). Short educational modules for nurses in arterial blood gas analysis can have significant impact on improving the knowledge of the nurse. A recent study showed that 98% of nurses believed that this training was useful (De Sliva, Stephens, Welch, Sigera, De Alwis, Athapattu, Dharmagunawardene, Olupeliyawa, De Abrew, Peiris, Siriwardana, Karunathilake, Dondorp & Haniffa, 2015). Whatever the underlying cause for the acid-base disturbance, one must gain knowledge for interpretation of the ABG to establish the best course of treatment. Therefore, the healthcare provider will determine the limitations of therapy based on the results of the ABG. Another recent analysis showed that teaching a stepwise approach to evaluating ABGs and using case studies, tables and figures could enhance the ability of the nurse to interpret ABG (Barnett & Kautz, 2013). ABG Sampling ABG sampling is a procedure that involves the direct puncture of an artery. It is associated with a low incidence of complication and is used to determine gas exchange levels in the blood and assesses renal, metabolic and respiratory function."

"text": "What Does Ammonia Level Indicate? Reviewed By: Pramod Kerkar, MD, FFARCSIWhat is Ammonia Test? An ammonia test is a test done to measure the quantity of ammonia present in the blood. Ammonia present in the body is mostly formed when there is break down of protein by the bacteria present in the intestines. The liver is the organ, which normally transforms ammonia into urea. This urea is then excreted via urine. When the liver is unable to properly convert the ammonia into urea, then this causes elevation of the ammonia level in the blood. The cause for the malfunction of the liver can be liver diseases, such as severe hepatitis or cirrhosis. The ammonia test is done by taking a blood sample from the vein or artery. Why is the Ammonia Test done?"

"text": "Peripheral Angiogram Updated: Oct 25,2016What is a peripheral angiogram? A peripheral angiogram is a test that uses X-rays and dye to help your doctor find narrowed or blocked areas in one or more of the arteries that supply blood to your legs. The test is also called a peripheral arteriogram. Why do people have peripheral angiograms? Doctors use a peripheral angiogram if they think blood is not flowing well in the arteries leading to your legs or, in rare cases, to your arms. The angiogram helps you and your doctor decide if a surgical procedure is needed to open the blocked arteries. Peripheral angioplasty is one such procedure. It uses a balloon catheter to open the blocked artery from the inside. A stent, a small wire mesh tube, is generally placed in the artery after angioplasty to help keep it open. Bypass surgery is another procedure."

Quick facts Cardiac cath is performed to find out if you have disease of the heart muscle, valves or coronary (heart) arteries. During the procedure, the pressure and blood flow in your heart can be measured. Coronary angiography is done during cardiac catheterization. A contrast dye visible in X-rays is injected through the catheter. X-ray images show the dye as it flows through the heart arteries. This shows where arteries are blocked."

It a complex type of arthritis and it can cause burning pain, tenderness, soreness and redness in the affected joint. The most common joint to be affected is the joint near the big toe. The person having gout can experience a sudden attack of pain which causes burning sensation in the affected region. Gout occurs when an excess of uric acid starts accumulating in the blood. This uric acid starts to form crystals in the joints and the joints start to inflame. The chances of getting gout increase if a person is taking a lot of alcohol, meat, and fish which has purines. If left untreated, gout can reoccur several times and deform the joint completely. It can also lead to deposition of urate crystals in other joints and under the skin. Kidney stones are also likely to develop."

"text": "11 Proven Benefits of Turmeric for Knee and Ankle Arthritis [UPDATED]21 Comments Arthritis is a widespread disease whose symptoms include joint pain, inflammation and swelling. It occurs in several forms, the most common being the chronic disorders of osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Other prevalent forms of the disease include septic arthritis, reactive arthritis and the inflammatory forms like gout. Osteoarthritis is the most common form of the disease which effects the knees and ankle but other forms may also effect these areas. Arthritis is generally characterised by a progressive and painful onset. Flare ups and inflammations are common occurrences. In some cases nodules are formed which may pose danger to the eyes and lungs if not given due attention. Rheumatoid arthritis is believed to have genetic origins whereas Osteoarthritis is generally brought about by ‘wear and tear’ of joints making it understandable why knees and ankles would be more susceptible to this form of the disease. The objective of arthritis treatment is to heal by reducing pain, inflammation and improving the function of the joint.

From a dull, constant ache to debilitating pain and stiffness in our joints, it’s a condition that has the power to impact us all day, every day. But Celadrin, when combined with menthol, can take away that power and give you back range of motion, and less pain. First, understand that every form of arthritis is related to cell membrane damage. When the cell membranes around our joints begin to deteriorate, either due to age or to disease, the vital fatty acids stop moving so freely through – or lubricating – our joints. These combine to trigger our immune systems. When all of this comes together, we end up with swelling, stiffness, and pain – arthritis. What Is Celadrin?"

Foods have a powerful effect on our bodies – not just as fuel, but as a means to good (or bad) health. America is in the throes of an obesity epidemic, as well as a diabetes epidemic. This is mainly due to our diets, and the conflicting forces controlling what eat as a nation. Economics demands both parents in a household work outside the home, leaving little time for the cook in the house to make fresh food, and introducing a reliance on processed foods. Processed foods are high in sodium, used as a preservative, and nutrients are cooked out during the canning. Frozen foods have higher nutrient levels, but are still not as good for you as fresh. Some advocate no processed foods at all – canned or frozen, and no processed baked goods. Our diets also contribute to high levels of inflammation, and this is a problem if a person has arthritis – specifically, rheumatoid arthritis."

A viral or bacterial infection appears likely, but the exact agent is not yet known. Given that rheumatoid arthritis occurs all over the world, it is thought that this organism must be everywhere. Scientists have studied bacteria such as mycoplasmas, as well as viruses such as cytomegalovirus, parvovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, and the rubella virus. However, to date there have been no convincing data to show that these viruses can cause rheumatoid arthritis. Also, keep in mind that this does not mean that rheumatoid arthritis is contagious; a person cannot catch the disease from someone else. Hormones Some scientists also think that a variety of hormonal factors may be a possible rheumatoid arthritis cause. This is based on the fact that women are more likely to develop rheumatoid arthritis than men, pregnancy may improve the disease, and the disease may flare after a pregnancy. Hormones, or possibly deficiencies or changes in certain hormones, may promote the development of rheumatoid arthritis in a genetically susceptible person who has been exposed to a triggering agent from the environment. Final Thoughts on the Rheumatoid Arthritis Causes Even though researchers do not have all the answers or know the exact cause or causes of rheumatoid arthritis, one thing is certain: rheumatoid arthritis develops due to a combination of many factors."

There is a significant difference in frogs feet that varies from species to species. The frogs living in wetter environments have webbed feet unlike others. What Do Frogs Eat Frogs have teeth that are next to their upper jaw and are known as maxillary teeth. Frogs hold their food with the help of these teeth before swallowing it completely. However, these teeth are too weak to tear the food or chew it or prey animals.

Answer by South Bay Man Confidence votes 3.0KAnswer It depends on the species. Some species of ants have multiple queens in a colony, from dozens to thousands, so losing even a few queens has little or no effect. In most species the death of the last queen results in collapse of the colony, as they are the only ones capable of reproducing. Although the workers are all female, they are sterile and incapable of laying eggs.2 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

You’d probably run off screaming at the top of your lungs. Thank goodness no such spider exists, but a crab does and appropriately so, it’s called the giant Japanese spider crab. It’s Giant, Alright The Japanese spider crab gets its name from its eight legs, each so long that a pair can span up to 13 feet from tip to tip. That’s very long considering its body can grow only up to 15 inches wide – just a little over a foot. No wonder the scientific name of the Japanese spider crab is Macrocheira kampfaeri. ‘ Macrocheira’ comes from two Greek words – ‘makros’ meaning ‘big’ or ‘long’ and ‘cheir’ meaning ‘hands’ or ‘arms’."

"text": "Jun 2, 2011Review: Starbucks - Bacon, Gouda Cheese & Egg Frittata on an Artisan Roll Starbucks Bacon, Gouda Cheese & Egg Frittata on an Artisan Roll features bacon, Parmesan frittata, and aged Gouda cheese on an artisan roll for $3.25. It's a breakfast option at Starbucks in the morning but if you're lucky like me, you can snag the last one late in the afternoon. I have to say I was a bit dubious about the quality of a reheated sandwich but Starbucks surprised me. It is a little more pricey than say, Mc Donald's, but it's also a bit more quality. The melted Gouda cheese was a nice touch providing excellent flavor. The bacon was about as thin as the typical fast food stuff but provided more flavor than I expected. The egg was uniform and fluffy. According to the ingredients, there's a bit of Monterey jack, milk, and Parmesan in there but I didn't detect it. The Artisan ciabatta roll had a nice texture with just a bit of chew to it. It was similar to a store-bought English muffin but a little better."

"text": "Tips for Starting a Fair Trade Business: The Story of Earth Divas When the owner of Earth Divas, Ed Edmundson, decided to start a company that sold 100% fair trade items, he had no idea how to get started. Learning the ins and outs of how to source and supply fair trade items was a huge undertaking. And, like any business owner he made some mistakes along the way!I wanted to write this post for those of you who’d like to get more involved in the fair trade industry. Whether you just want to learn more about what it’s like to start a fair trade business, or you’re interested in starting a fair trade business of your own, Ed has some great advice to help you learn more about the business of fair trade. Question: How do you get started selling fair trade items? The key thing is to visit the country that you are sourcing from, and never source from China. When I started in 2004, I used the internet to find artisan groups. However, when I went to Nepal I realized that often, these artisan groups were just ‘middle-men’ with nice websites. I was able to find the real artisans by going to the tourist shops and asking them who actually made their handbags. Then I would pay them to take me to where the items are made."

This is the story of the Giannini artisans from Florence, bookbinders since 1856, who have passed down from generation to generation the secrets of bookbinding. The Giannini family has created the new Florentine style of artistic bookbinding and marbled papers through a process of continuous innovation. Guido Giannini - Credits Gil Gilbert At work - Credits Gil Gilbert ARTEMEST: Your work has helped define a unique style that dates back to the nineteenth century. What is your artistic contribution and what kind of innovations were introduced? MARIA GIANNINI: We are credited mostly for the creation of the \"\"Florentine style”, reproduced not only on binds but also of various objects. This was the real innovation - printing of the decorative elements on wrapping paper which was also used to line objects. Until 1940 this process was done using mainly leather or parchment. Maria Giannini - Credits Gil Gilbert Marbled Paper - Credits Gil Gilbert A: This is a craft handed down from generation to generation. But how does one keep up with the times?"

But, your intelligent mind is probably still pondering, “How can oil pigments possibly be water mixable?”The answer is this: On a molecular level, t he oil vehicle has been modified to make it mixable in water, eliminating the necessity for turpentine or other dangerous solvents to thin paint and clean brushes and other supplies.©2016 LMc Nee, “Snowy Day” 20×20 oil There are still some painting purists who question whether or not these pigments are true oils, but I assure you they are. In fact, I have been successfully executing my paintings using water-mixable oils with professional results since the 1990s. I made the smooth transition from acrylics to the new oils in my home studio so my family and pets were not exposed to toxic fumes. With an open mind and a little time experimenting, you might also enjoy the benefits of water soluble oils.

Artisans practice a craft and may through experience and aptitude reach the expressive levels of an artist. The adjective \"\"artisanal\"\" is sometimes used in describing hand-processing in what is usually viewed as an industrial process, such as in the phrase artisanal mining. Thus, \"\"artisanal\"\" is sometimes used in marketing and advertising as a buzz word to describe or imply some relation with the crafting of handmade food products, such as bread, beverages or cheese. Many of these have traditionally been handmade, rural or pastoral goods but are also now commonly made on a larger scale with automated mechanization in factories and other industrial areas. Artisans were the dominant producers of consumer products prior to the Industrial Revolution. In ancient Greece, artisans were drawn to agoras and often built workshops nearby. ["

So when they recently began offering Artisan breakfast sandwiches, I seized on it as a way to join the java junkies and really get the full Starbucks experience.  There are currently two varieties of sandwiches — I chose Bacon, Egg & Gouda because the soul is what makes it taste good, but those who claim dominion over plants but not yummy, yummy animals have their own option with Veggie, Egg, & Monterey Jack.  Vegans, sorry to say, are S. O. L.; apparently that’s a demographic Starbucks feels they can do without, at least until they roll out their Lentils, Gravel & Soy sandwich next quarter.  What makes it “Artisan” is the use of fresh ciabatta bread, which has the dual quality of being fun to say and automatically adding a dollar to the price."

But getting that perfect slice is trickier than it should be, with many cheap toasters doling out uneven cooking, poor controls – and, in general, being pretty sub-par.

These tiles are unglazed clay floor tiles that local artisans make from the natural clay that surrounds the area. There are several methods of making the clay tiles and different quality levels of tiles. The workers make the tiles by mixing the clay with water, molding them, and curing them in kilns. The great demand for these artisan tiles has resulted in flooding the market with lower-quality tiles made from unclean clay. The clay in the Saltillo area is some of the finest clay in the world. Craftspeople make quality tiles by using fine clay from the riverbanks. The worker sifts this clay to remove impurities and then mixes it with water to create a workable substance. There are several methods for forming the tiles, but all of the tiles are left to dry in the sun. The workers cure the sun-baked tiles in kilns."

At its most basic level, composition is the framing of the image, and can also include the positioning of the subject/subjects within the frame of the photograph. Composition affects the balance between the frame and the different elements within a photograph, and can help images grab our attention, and make them more artistically appealing, or even just more interesting. Exposure is simply the method by which a photograph is made by exposing light sensitive media to light - in order to take a photograph light is required. In a wider sense it also refers to controlling exposure, basically how much light is allowed into the camera to make the photograph. Balancing or controlling exposure is crucial to getting the lighting levels just right. Too much light, and the image is over exposed and too bright, too little and it's under exposed and too dark. In digital photography, aperture, shutter speed, and the ISO setting are used to control exposure. Also most modern cameras have a light meter which allows you to measure the exposure before you press the shutter button.

For example, Ansel Adams employed some of the more common manipulations using darkroom exposure techniques, such as burning (darkening) and dodging (lightening) a photograph. [ 1] [2] Other examples of photo manipulation include retouching photographs using ink or paint, airbrushing, double exposure, piecing photos or negatives together in the darkroom, scratching instant films, or through the use of software-based manipulation tools applied to digital images. There are a number of software applications available for digital image manipulation, ranging from professional applications to very basic imaging software for casual users.

"text": "\"portraiture Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Legal, Wikipedia .portraiture,the art of representing the physical or psychological likeness of a real or imaginary individual. The principal portrait media are painting, drawing, sculpture, and photography. From earliest times the portrait has been considered a means to immortality. Many cultures haveattributed magical properties to the portrait: symbolization of the majesty or authority of the subject,substitution for a deceased individual's living presence or theft of the soul of the living subject. The Self-Portrait Two conflicting objectives characterize portrait art in all cultures: the desire to represent the subjectaccurately and the desire to transform or idealize the subject. The conflict is particularly manifest in the self-portrait, the genre that gives the artist the greatest freedom from external constraints. Because the artist is his or her own cheapest and most available model, the self-portrait is the finestopportunity to make the most flattering statement or the most penetrating revelation of character of which he or she is capable. More deeply acquainted with this subject than with any other, artistsare nevertheless forced to view themselves as mirror images and, as with less immediate subjects,through the distorting glass of their understanding. Since the 6th cent. B. C. artists have often portrayed themselves with the identifying attributes of their profession such as palette, brush, and easel."

"text": "\"COMPOSITION: RULE OF THIRDSThe rule of thirds is a powerful compositional technique for making photos more interesting and dynamic. It's also perhaps one of the most well known. This article uses examples to demonstrate why the rule works, when it's ok to break the rule, and how to make the most of it to improve your photography. OVERVIEWThe rule of thirds states than an image is most pleasing when its subjects or regions are composed along imaginary lines which divide the image into thirds — both vertically and horizontally: Rule of Thirds Composition Region Divided Into Thirds It is actually quite amazing that a rule so seemingly mathematical can be applied to something as varied and subjective as a photograph. But it works, and surprisingly well. The rule of thirds is all about creating the right aesthetic trade-offs. It often creates a sense of balance — without making the image appear too static — and a sense of complexity — without making the image look too busy. RULE OF THIRDS EXAMPLESOK, perhaps you can see its usefulness by now — but the previous example was simple and highly geometric. How does the rule of thirds fare with more abstract subjects? See if you can spot the lines in the photo below: Original Photo Show Rule of Thirds Note how the tallest rock formation (a tufa) aligns with the rightmost third of the image, and how the horizon aligns with the topmost third."

If you're a freelance photographer working 30 hours per week at this rate of pay, your average salary would be $21,840. Working freelance can offer opportunities to increase your average salary; for one thing, you can set your own fees. In addition, you could sell special images of officials or jockeys at racetracks.

Why would an artist spend countless hours painting an image like this when you could create a photograph instantly that looks the same?

( November 2007) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)The Art of Painting by Jan Vermeer, noted for his subtle compositions In the visual arts, composition is the placement or arrangement of visual elements or 'ingredients' in a work of art, as distinct from the subject. It can also be thought of as the organization of the elements of art according to the principles of art. The composition of a picture is different from its subject, what is depicted, whether a moment from a story, a person or a place. Many subjects, for example Saint George and the Dragon, are often portrayed in art, but using a great range of compositions even though the two figures are typically the only ones shown. The term composition means 'putting together' and can apply to any work of art from music to writing to photography that is arranged using conscious thought. In the visual arts, composition is often used interchangeably with various terms such as design, form, visual ordering, or formal structure, depending on the context.

"text": "\"Overview Impression Sunrise Radicals in their time, early Impressionists broke the rules of academic painting. They began by giving colours, freely brushed, primacy over line, drawing inspiration from the work of painters such as eugene Delacroix. They also took the act of painting out of the studio and into the modern world. Previously, still lifes and portraits as well as landscapes had usually been painted indoors. The Impressionists found that they could capture the momentary and transient effects of sunlight by painting en plein air. Painting realistic scenes of modern life, they emphasized vivid overall effects rather than details. They used short, \"\"broken\"\" brush strokes of pure and unmixed colour, not smoothly blended, as was customary, in order to achieve the effect of intense colour vibration. Although the rise of Impressionism in France happened at a time when a number of other painters, including the Italian artists known as the Macchiaioli, and Winslow Homer in the United States, were also exploring plein-air painting, the Impressionists developed new techniques that were specific to the movement. encompassing what its adherents argued was a different way of seeing, it was an art of immediacy and movement, of candid poses and compositions, of the play of light expressed in a bright and varied use of colour. The public, at first hostile, gradually came to believe that the Impressionists had captured a fresh and original vision, even if it did not receive the approval of the art critics and establishment."

The Impressionists were a group of artists renowned for their innovative painting techniques and approach to using color in art. The Impressionist Artists ALFRED SISLEY (1839-99) 'Flood at Port Marley', 1876 (oil on canvas)Many artists contributed to the first exhibition of French Impressionist painting in 1874 but Claude Monet (1840-1926), Pierre Auguste Renoir (1841-1919), Camille Pissarro (1831-1903), Edgar Degas (1834-1917), Alfred Sisley (1839-99) and Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901) were the main figures who formed the backbone of the movement. Impressionist Painting Technique CLAUDE MONET (1840-1926) 'Wheatstacks - End of Summer', 1890-91 (oil on canvas)The Impressionists were excited by contemporary developments in color theory which helped their search for a more exact analysis of the effects of color and light in nature. They abandoned the conventional idea that the shadow of an object was made up from its color with some brown or black added. Instead, they enriched their colours with the idea that the shadow of an object is broken up with dashes of its complementary color For example, in an Impressionist painting the shadow on an orange may have some strokes of blue painted into it to increase its vitality. The Impressionists sought to capture the atmosphere of a particular time of day or the effects of different weather conditions on the landscape. In order to capture these fleeting effects they had to work quickly. They applied their paint in small brightly colored strokes which meant sacrificing much of the outline and detail of their subject. Their painting technique put them at odds with the conservative Académie of the French artistic establishment who valued subtle color and precise detail which was carefully crafted with great skill in the artist's studio."

For a treatment of motion-picture photography, or cinematography, see motion picture, history of, and motion-picture technology. General considerations As a means of visual communication and expression, photography has distinct aesthetic capabilities. In order to understand them, one must first understand the characteristics of the process itself. One of the most important characteristics is immediacy. Usually, but not necessarily, the image that is recorded is formed by a lens in a camera. Upon exposure to the light forming the image, the sensitive material undergoes changes in its structure, a latent (but reversed) image usually called a negative is formed, and the image becomes visible by development and permanent by fixing with sodium thiosulfate, called “hypo.”"

Photogram (1926)Artwork description & Analysis: Moholy-Nagy was fascinated by light throughout his career, and photograms offered the opportunity to experiment with the subtlety of light and shade. To create the photogram, he laid everyday objects on light-sensitive paper before exposing them to light. The brightness of the object's silhouette depended on the exposure time - a longer exposure meant a brighter image. In this photogram a paintbrush lays over Moholy-Nagy's hands, perhaps slyly suggesting the photogram is a medium of art that rivals painting. Gelatin silver print - Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York Composition A 19 (1927)Artwork description & Analysis: Moholy-Nagy's first abstract paintings featured opaque geometric shapes reminiscent of Kazimir Malevich's Suprematist paintings, yet Composition A 19 shows him developing beyond that style into new interests in light and the transparency of forms. The cross motif that appeared in his earlier paintings is here enlarged and doubled, the red and black crossbeams overlapping each other with varying levels of translucency. Oil on canvas - Art Institute of Chicago Bauhausbucher 8, Malerei, Fotografie, Film (1927)Artwork description & Analysis: Moholy-Nagy was responsible for the typography and graphic design of all but three of the Bauhaus books.

Books and articles on the subject include everything from a completely representational image of an abstract subject matter, such as Aaron Siskind 's photographs of peeling paint, to entirely non-representational imagery created without a camera or film, such as Marco Breuer 's fabricated prints and books. [ 1] The term is both inclusive of a wide range of visual representations and explicit in its categorization of a type of photography that is visibly ambiguous by its very nature. Many photographers, critics, art historians and others have written or spoken about abstract photography without attempting to formalize a specific meaning. Alvin Langdon Coburn in 1916 proposed that an exhibition be organized with the title \"\"Abstract Photography\"\", for which the entry form would clearly state that \"\"no work will be admitted in which the interest of the subject matter is greater than the appreciation of the extraordinary.\"\" [ 2] The proposed exhibition did not happen, yet Coburn later created some distinctly abstract photographs.

By making an image to be observed, framed and exhibited in such a way that it outlasts both the subject and the producer, we find ourselves with the ability to construct objects of worship. It could then be said that photography doesn't merely record iconicity but also generates it. ‘Icon’ means ‘image’."

An ascending triangle is a chart pattern used in technical analysis. It appears when an upward trend hits a level of resistance and begins a period of consolidation. The characteristics of an ascending triangle is that it has a relatively flat level of resistance and an upward sloping level of support, as depicted in the figure to the right. Lines of Support and Resistance A line of support that is flat appears at very important psychological prices. It may have been an important high set in the past, or perhaps it is an important whole number that carries weight with traders. As the pair's bulls push up price to that important level, it induces strong selling, and control of the price's direction is won over by the pair's bears. If bears are able to overpower bulls at the particular price level several times, a line connecting the recent highs, the line of resistance, forms as a horizontal line. Meanwhile, when price falls from this important psychological level it rebounds at higher and higher lows. The implication is that the pair's bulls are willing to buy the pair at higher and higher prices."

When symbols were first used it was to concentrate man's mind on the Infinite One, so that by keeping his eyes on the symbol no outside sights or sounds might call off his attention from the object of worship. Man was most carefully taught that the symbol itself was not to be worshipped; the symbol was only a picture to keep his mind from wandering. He was carefully taught that there was only One Deity, but that One Deity had many attributes which looked after health and strength, rain and sunshine, crops; in fact, after the whole welfare of mankind. In the beginning three symbols only were used. When these were understood, they were compounded and others added, and as time grew so did the number of symbols, also their complexity, until we come down to Egypt about 3,000 or 4,000 years ago, when there was such a riot of symbols scarcely one temple understood the meaning of half the symbols used in another.p. 119The three original symbols which I have referred to are: The Circle, The Equilateral Triangle and The Square.

A dark, and brooding specter, Batman saw himself as the protector of Gotham City, who aimed to clean up the city's crime and corruption while he brought its criminals to justice by any means necessary. Contents [ show]Biography Bruce Wayne was born to wealthy, but civic-minded parents. The noble Dr. Thomas Wayne and the philanthropic Martha Wayne worked tirelessly to reverse Gotham's urban decline, and became renown for their glittering charity fundraisers and their support of initiatives to stimulate the city's growth as a place without crime and poverty. One night, when he was ten years old, Bruce accompanied his parents to see Footlight Frenzy at the Monarch Theatre in downtown Gotham. Following the show, Bruce's father had decided that they should walk for a bit before they took a cab back to Wayne Manor . Bruce and his parents at the Monarch Theatre (from 1989batman.com by James Sawyer)It wasn't long before Bruce's mother noticed someone following them. Attempting to evade the followers, who turned out to be two hoodlums, Bruce's parents found themselves cornered in a dead-end alley as the hoods, on orders to kill the Waynes due to their meddling in mafia affairs, confronted them with their guns drawn. As one of the hoods grabbed for Martha's pearl necklace, Thomas tried to stop him, and was gunned down by the other one; Bruce's mother was also gunned down."

"text": "\"The Chakras System,Our Seven Life-Force Energy Centers“ Chakra ” is a Sanskrit word literally meaning \"\"wheel.\"\" These centers were named as such because of the circular shape to the spinning energy centers which exist in our subtle etheric body, the non-material energetic counterpart to our physical body. There are seven main chakras and they are located along the spine extending out the front and back of the body. Each chakra has a number of specific qualities that correspond to the refinement of energy from the base-level material-self identity, located at the first chakras, up to the higher vibration spirit-level awareness of being at our crown. These energetic centers represent our highest level of integration split, prism like, into a spectrum of colors. Our opportunity in studying them is to learn how to master each chakra’s essence and unite them all into a unified field of brilliance. As such, we re-unite our disparate parts into a radian light of full self-awareness. The chakras are formed at the junction of three connected energy shafts that ascend the spine, one on each side of the central channel, the Shushumna . The two lesser channels of energy -- the Pingala on the right and Ida on the left -- run parallel to the spinal cord. Chakras both take up and collect prana (life force energy) and transform and pass on energy."

"text": "\"Travel Africa & Middle East Egypt What does the Pyramids of Egypt symbolize? Why was it made? Is it for whom?2 following 11 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Pyramids are tombs of Kings and Queens of ancient Egypt. They symbolize the power of the King, the larger the pyramid the more powerful he was. They show us how religious Egyptians were, constructing the pyramid was a religious activity since the King was considered the son of the supreme god Ra ( the sun). The shape of the pyramid ( in addition to the fact that it is the best shape that can live for ever) symbolizes the ascending and descending of the spirit of the King to the sky. It may also symbolize the shape of the rays of the sun ( the supreme god Ra) coming out of between clouds.

"text": "\"Humanities ›Religion & Spirituality Pentagrams Share Flipboard Email Printby Catherine Beyer Updated October 24, 2017The pentagram, or five-pointed star, has been in existence for thousands of years. Over that time, it has had many meanings, uses, and depictions associated with it. The five-pointed star, also commonly called a pentagram, has been in use for thousands of years by a variety of cultures. Most uses of the pentagram in Western society today descend from Western occult traditions. Occultists have long associated the pentagram with several beliefs including: Humanity or the human body, representing two outstretched arms, two legs, and the head The five physical senses: sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste The five elements: spirit, fire, air, water, and earth01of 11Orientation of The Pentagram Nineteenth-century occult groups such as the Golden Dawn held that the point-up pentagram represented the rulership of Spirit over the physical elements, while a point-down pentagram represented the descent of Spirit into matter or matter subsuming Spirit. It is largely this interpretation that led the religion of Wicca to adopt the point-up pentagram and Satanism the point-down version as their representative symbols. It is initiation or profanation; it is Lucifer or Vesper, the star of morning or evening. It is Mary or Lilith, victory or death, day or night. The Pentagram with two points in the ascendant represents Satan as the goat of the Sabbath; when one point is in the ascendant, it is the sign of the Saviour. By placing it in such a manner that two of its points are in the ascendant and one is below, we may see the horns, ears and beard of the hierarchic Goat of Mendes, when it becomes the sign of infernal evocations.

In this lesson, you will learn about slope triangles, a kind of triangle that helps you easily find the slope of a line or line segment. Often, these are imaginary triangles sketched between two points. Definition of a Slope Triangle A slope triangle is a visual tool that helps you find the slope of a line. By ' slope ,' we mean steepness. Imagine that you are flying a plane and have ascended (vertically) 1,000 feet. When you are 1,000 feet above the ground, you have traveled forward (horizontally) 3,000 feet. With those two measurements, you can figure out how steep your ascent was. The higher the plane rises while it travels forward a certain amount, the steeper the incline."

"text": "\"Flatland A romance of many dimensions With Illustrations by the Author, A SQUARE (Edwin A. Abbott 1838-1926)To The Inhabitants of SPACE IN GENERAL And H. C. IN PARTICULAR This Work is Dedicated By a Humble Native of Flatland In the Hope that Even as he was Initiated into the Mysteries Of THREE Dimensions Having been previously conversant With ONLY TWO So the Citizens of that Celestial Region May aspire yet higher and higher To the Secrets of FOUR FIVE OR EVEN SIX Dimensions Thereby contributing To the Enlargement of THE IMAGINATION And the possible Development Of that most rare and excellent Gift of MODESTY Among the Superior Races Of SOLID HUMANITYPREFACE TO THE SECOND AND REVISED EDITION, 1884. BY THE EDITORIf my poor Flatland friend retained the vigour of mind which he enjoyed when he began to compose these Memoirs, I should not now need to represent him in this preface, in which he desires, firstly, to return his thanks to his readers and critics in Spaceland, whose appreciation has, with unexpected celerity, required a second edition of his work; secondly, to apologize forcertain errors and misprints (for which, however, he is not entirely responsible); and, thirdly, to explain one or two misconceptions. But he is not the Square he once was. Years of imprisonment, and the still heavier burden of general incredulity and mockery, have combined with the natural decay of old age to erase from his mind many of the thoughts and notions, and much also of the terminology, which he acquired during his short stay in Spaceland. He has, therefore, requested me to reply in his behalf to two special objections, one of an intellectual, the other of a moral nature. The first objection is, that a Flatlander, seeing a Line, sees something that must be thick to the eye as well as long to the eye (otherwise it would not be visible, if it had not some thickness); and consequently he ought (it is argued) to acknowledge that his countrymen are not only long and broad, but also (though doubtless in a very slight degree) thick or high. His objection is plausible, and, to Spacelanders, almost irresistible, so that, I confess, when I first heard it, I knew not what to reply. But my poor old friend's answer appears to me completely to meet it. \"\" I admit,\"\" said he - when I mentioned to him this objection - \"\"I admit the truth of your critic's facts, but I deny his conclusions. It is true that we have really in Flatland a Third unrecognized Dimension called `height,' just as it is also true that you have really in Spaceland a Fourth unrecognized Dimension, called by no name at present, but which I will call `extra-height'."

One is used by the right hand path and the other by the left hand path. Once you have the complete understanding of the pentagram, you will be able decipher the key of the two worlds that is the illusion we live in. In its simplest form, the pentagram represents man or woman. The upright pentagram such as the one above and to the right is the symbol that we can say is used for good by followers of the right hand path, the divine feminine and soul. The upright person who is in control of his passions whose divine reason through their intellect, soul and spirit have risen above his or her animal and lower natures which now dominates this being who is considered like a Christ or Buddha. It is a type of an astrological magic and good luck charm. In ancient Roman times and medieval Christian churches, the Pentagram was painted or carved on their doors to ward off evil spirits. This was also done by the Babylonians and many other ancient cultures throughout history."

"text": "\"THE MEANING OF THE SQUAREWe are more fortunate in Freemasonry because we possess a body of ritualistic work which defines many of our symbols in at least one way. This allows us to look at our symbols in two distinct ways, the first being in the way our teachings say and secondly at the common meaning given to the same symbol by the man in the street. The similarity is usually very close but the range of meanings in the outside world is frequently much broader.• When a new mason asks the question about symbols, \"\"what is that? \"\", or \"\"what does that mean? \"\", do we tend to back off? • Do we have the feeling that these are 'old' symbols that really have no meaning in our modern world? If this is the case, then we are in very serious trouble within our Lodges because the Charge at our installations very clearly states that \"\"...it inculcates principles of morality, veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols.\"\" We are also told in the same breath that to penetrate through the veil of the allegories and symbols is to understand the mysteries. While there is a far deeper meaning in the overall pattern of the craft, it is of great value to find some meanings of the individual symbols and to attempt to recall that meaning on each occasion that we see them. This creates the 'repetition' form of learning that begins to modify our life style to become that \"\"better man\"\" we all strive for."

"text": "\"The split () method splits a String object into an array of strings by separating the string into substrings, using a specified separator string to determine where to make each split. Syntaxstr .split ( [ separator [, limit ]])Tip: If an empty string (\"\"\"\") is used as the separator, the string is split between each character. Parametersseparator Optional Specifies the string which denotes the points at which each split should occur. The separator is treated as a string or as a regular expression. If a plain-text separator contains more than one character, that entire string must be found to represent a split point. If separator is omitted or does not occur in str, the array returned contains one element consisting of the entire string. If separator is an empty string, str is converted to an array of characters.limit Optional Integer specifying a limit on the number of splits to be found. When this parameter is provided, the split () method splits the string at each occurrence of the specified separator but stops when limit entries have been placed into the array. It may still contain fewer entries than limit if the end of the string is reached before the specified limit is reached. The left-over text is not returned in the new array."

Initially coined as part of a photoshopped parody series depicting the video game commentator as a reptile, the in-joke has also spawned a number of other related terms used in the comments section of You Tube, including the Reptilian Army, Reptilian Brotherhood and most notably “Hisss…”, an onomatopoiea of the high-pitched sound commonly associated with reptilian creatures. Origin The origin of the reptilian brotherhood joke goes all the way back to August 14th, 2015 where Leafy made a video titled “KIDS THAT YOUTUBE 2”KIDS THAT YOUTUBE 2Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available.

"text": "\"Free Medical Terminology Flash Cards: Suffixes Suffixes end words but are often where definitions begin in medical terminology. After determining the meaning of the suffix, the prefix is usually defined next, followed by the root word meaning. Suffixes may be used to to make a word either an adjective or a noun. Depending on how the root word ends, a combining vowel may be attached between the root word and the suffix. A suffix will have the same meaning when added to any root word. For instance, -plasty means surgical repair, so rhinoplasty would denote surgical repair of the nose while angioplasty means surgical repair of a blood vessel. Some suffixes may have the same or similar meanings. For example, -al, -ary, ical, and -oid all may mean \"\"pertaining to,\"\" but each may be used with particular root words in practice. Some suffixes that have the same meaning may be interchanged with other suffixes with the same meaning in certain circumstances. How to Use These Suffix Flash Cards The following free medical terminology flash cards may help people to study common suffixes used in medical professions."

It's certainly a terrific way to expose your children to the world of birds. Feeding wild birds is also a way of helping to sustain wild bird populations, particularly in urban and disrupted environments, provided you feed them the right food. Because wild birds are such adaptable creatures, and thanks to human beings leaving them food, many native birds have even increased in numbers in many parts of the world. [ 1]Note: While much of this article relates to birds commonly found in North America, occasional mention of birds from other parts of the world have been made to highlight similarities. However, always be sure to check the needs for birds in your specific area, as these can vary."

"text": "Sandwich Course Follow A sandwich course isn’t a tasty ham and cheese concoction; it doesn’t taste better buttered; and it almost always comes without mayo. A sandwich course is a (completely non-edible) three, four or five year undergraduate degree with a work placement integrated into the course. What is a sandwich course? The name derives from the fact that the course includes a placement year which is ‘sandwiched’ in the middle of the degree. Sandwich courses are more common amongst business-related subjects, but can also be found in a variety of other subjects, such as engineering, computer science, maths and a handful of humanities disciplines. Some companies run sandwich courses in partnership with universities, where the placement year is spent working at that specific company. You can also get ‘thick’ and ‘thin’ sandwich courses. Imagine thickly cut slices of ‘giraffe’ bread with lashings of mustard and beef, compared to dainty cucumber sandwiches with the crusts cut off. Actually don’t. Essentially, the difference is that ‘thin’ courses tend to involve shorter work placements (i.e. between two and six months), while ‘thick’ courses incorporate a placement that lasts the whole year."

"text": "Diamond Grading Reports GIA vs. AGS Cut Grades Diamond grading reports help to describe a diamond’s many characteristics including: carat weight, clarity, color, basic cut proportions, fluorescence, and overall polish and symmetry. It’s beneficial to always purchase a diamond with a lab report because:1. They confirm that a diamond is of the quality level that you are being asked to pay for.2. They help for verification purposes in cases where you need to get your jewelry repaired.3. Diamonds with respected lab reports are worth more and are thus easier to resell. Some of the more popular diamond laboratories issue grading reports and certificates all over the world. Some of these include:– Gemological Institute of America (GIA) – a non-profit institute that created the “four Cs” (Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat Weight) methodology of grading diamonds and the International Diamond Grading System. GIA issues ‘reports’ not certifications.– American Gem Society (AGS) – original lab to provide diamond cut grades (ranging from 0-10, with 0 being termed “ideal”).– European Gemological Laboratory (EGL) – an independent network of grading laboratories."

"text": "\"Head Chef jobs (Also known as Chef de Cuisine)The Head Chef is in charge of a whole kitchen, supervising everything from cookery to staff. The Head Chef or chef de cuisine is at the helm of any kitchen, and controls the entire operation. He or she is responsible for every aspect of the kitchen's running, from ordering raw produce to maintaining hygiene standards, not to mention supervising the cooking of the food. Because the word ‘chef’ in English has come to mean a professional cook of any sort, it is important that the distinction be made between the Head Chef and his or her assistants. Chef de cuisine is a title that comes from Georges Escoffier, the French chef and food writer, who died in 1935 and who, as General Manager, helped the Savoy Hotel to expand into the famous Ritz chain of hotels in London, Paris and New York. The chef de cuisine is at the top of what Escoffier called the brigade de cuisine, a hierarchy that stretched from the chef at the top down to the lowliest plongeur or dishwasher. The Head Chef traditionally reaches his or her position through a long apprenticeship in the lower ranks of the kitchen, gaining experience on every 'station' - sauces, desserts, fish, meat and so on - as a chef de partie, before taking charge of the whole array of different facilities that make up a modern kitchen. Nowadays, although it is possible to be formally trained as a chef, work experience remains an essential part of the training. Unlike his or her cousin the short-order cook, the Head Chef usually presides over a restaurant kitchen where much of the food is cooked from scratch. The short-order cook can be found working in an environment where he or she must produce food quickly, such as a fast-food restaurant or café."

"text": "\"Isis Isis was one of the oldest gods or goddesses of ancient Egypt but her origins are unclear. She is sometimes thought to have originated in the Sinai but is is also likely that she was first worshipped as a fetish in the Delta area of Lower Egypt around Busiris, the location of the oldest known cult center to Osiris. However, her cult was not limited to one area, but worshipped in every temple in the land. In fact, the first shrine dedicated specifically to her was built by Nectanebo II in Dynasty Thirty!The cult of Isis, the Egyptian goddess, was very popular throughout Egypt, and beyond and she became a goddess of almost limitless attributes. Isis was her Greek name, but she was known to the ancient Egyptians as Aset (or Ast, Iset, Uset), which is usually translated as \"\" (female) of throne\"\" or \"\"Queen of the throne\"\". Her original headdress was an empty throne and as the personification of the throne she was an important source of the Pharaoh's power (as descent was to some degree matrilineal). However, the exact meaning of her name is still disputed. Plutarch suggested that her name meant \"\"knowledge\"\" but another possible translation is \"\" (female) of flesh\"\", i.e. mortal, suggesting that although she was the Queen of the Gods, she had once been a mortal woman. This certainly fits with the mythology surrounding the Ennead which state that Isis and her husband, Osiris, had actually ruled Egypt before the time of the pharaohs. However, the Book of the Dead describes her as \"\"She who gives birth to heaven and earth, knows the orphan, knows the widow, seeks justice for the poor, and shelter for the weak\"\" suggesting that she was considered to be more than simply a mere mortal."

"text": "\"The Symbolic Use of Color in Ancient Egyptian Art23Sunday Mar 2014Posted by Sedjfaiemitui in Egyptian≈ 11 Comments Tags Ancient Egypt, Color Symbolism, Kemetic Detail of a vibrant and well-preserved mural from the tomb of Horemheb ( KV57 ). Egyptian paints were generally created from mineral sources, lending them unmatched vibrancy. Image source. The Ancient Egyptians’ use of color is a controversial topic, one which is quite often deeply misunderstood. It is a famous point of contention for those overly concerned with “race,” specifically Afrocentrists, some of whom often make claims to the effect of Egyptian deities being “literally Black” because some were depicted with black or reddish-brown skin in some instances, and that Ancient Egyptian society, rather than being a multi-ethnic Afro-Asiatic mosaic * society as has been clearly and repeatedly demonstrated to the point of intuitive ubiquity, were originally and uniformly “Black Africans” by virtue of one of the several names for their homeland: Kemet, or “Black Land.” However, such claims furthering specific racial ideologies grossly decontextualize and distort the Ancient Egyptians’ codified systems of metaphor and depiction. These depictions are not always literal or true to life, particularly where the representation of Divine, Otherworldly beings and sacred concepts are concerned. In this article, I will attempt to clear the air by explaining what each of the major colors meant to the Ancient Egyptians, and how those colors were used. THE COLORS AND THEIR MEANINGThe Ancient Egyptian system of color symbolism was mostly but not entirely consistent throughout all regions and time periods. Colors, meanings for colors, and artistic conventions relative to color were revised or added to this system at various points of Ancient Egyptian history."

Flag What is the normal temperature setting for a central air conditioning unit? Answer by Austinwebsmart Confidence votes 260The temperature setting you choose is dependant on your comfort level and the amount you are willing to pay for your utility bills. In the summer as the temperature increases, setting your thermostat to a higher temperature will save you money. Often people will raise the thermostat to around 80 degrees Fahrenheit while they are away from home working or at school. Then in the evening lower it to a more comfortable 72 to 78 degrees while they are home and while they are sleeping. The reverse is true for the winter. The lower you can keep the thermostat in the winter, the lower your utility bills will be. Often people will lower the thermostat to 50 - 60 degrees Fahrenheit while away. Then turn it up to 65 - 70 degrees Fahrenheit when they are at home."

"text": "\"View Threaded Tue 23 Sep 2008 12:56Bought a car with no service book - what can I do? - amrbekhit Hello all, I recently purchased my first car: a Hyundai Getz 1.3GSI from a franchised Renault Dealer. Unfortnately, the one thing I forgot to ask about (and I kick myself for not doing this) was the service book. After I got home I realised it was not there. I phoned the salesperson and he told me he would chase up the previous owner and find out what they'd done with it. A few days later he rung back saying that the latest owner had lost the book and so he's ordered me a new one from Hyundai. With the car having done 15k when I bought it, it was due a service 5000 miles ago and without the old service book, I've no proof that it was serviced on time and thus I fear that the remainder of the 5 year warranty (1 year) will be gone down the drain (the dealer didn't provide any warranty either). I've contacted Hyundai to see if they keep records of services (I hear Renault do this) but I'm yet to hear back from them. What I wanted to ask was is there anything I can do to improve the situation? Is the lack of a service book a severe drawback in a car such that a dealer should mention if to the customer?"

I am aware (so far) that this thing doesn't have scriptural backing or religious origins (and I may be wrong) and I don't associate myself with it. And that's not even the reason. The reason is that the name of the sign of the month I was born in is a killer disease that I'd rather not call myself. Calling myself it doesn't sound right to my ears. So its not that I've concluded that its right or wrong, or I'm 'judging' anybody. So what do you think, should a Christian do zodiac signs?

( June 2014) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring ( IONM) or intraoperative neuromonitoring is the use of electrophysiological methods such as electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG), and evoked potentials to monitor the functional integrity of certain neural structures (e.g., nerves, spinal cord and parts of the brain) during surgery. The purpose of IONM is to reduce the risk to the patient of iatrogenic damage to the nervous system, and/or to provide functional guidance to the surgeon and anesthesiologist. Contents [ hide ]1 Methods2 Surgical procedures3 Licensure, certification, credentialing, and evidence4 References Methods [ edit]Neuromonitoring employs various electrophysiologic modalities, such as extracellular single unit and local field recordings, SSEP, transcranial electrical motor evoked potentials (TCe MEP), EEG, EMG, and auditory brainstem response (ABR). For a given surgery, the set of modalities used depends in part on which neural structures are at risk. Transcranial Doppler imaging (TCDI) is also becoming more widely used to detect vascular emboli. TCDI can be used in tandem with EEG during vascular surgery. IONM techniques have significantly reduced the rates of morbidity and mortality without introducing additional risks."

Roger Hunt offers his advice on how to identify and repair subsidence and other structural issues in period properties Sign up to our newsletter Newsletter By Roger Hunt November 22, 2017On many old buildings ‘spreader plates’ will be visible. These were usually fitted retrospectively to restrain a bulging wall Out of control trees and shrubs, cracked drains, leaking rainwater goods, missing roof tiles; these are just some of the things that may lead to structural problems in older buildings if not addressed. Although a degree of movement is inevitable, cracks should not be ignored and neither should the maintenance issues that cause them. Even so, it is worth remembering that traditional buildings were built using lime and other materials, which allow for some shifting of the structure. Related articles: How to deal with subsidence and structural movement | How to repair a chimney | How to fix an old roof Other reasons for movement can be that a structural element has failed or poorly considered alterations have been undertaken. These may have weakened the structure due to inadequate support during the work or because they have imposed loading or stress where none was present before. Old mine workings and springs should also be considered. If in any doubt, seek advice from a structural engineer specialising in buildings of the same age and type as yours. Where serious problems are evident, it may be necessary to temporarily prop the building but this should be done by experts."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Large blocks of granite dimension stone being loaded at Teignmouth in 1827Dimension stone is natural stone or rock that has been selected and finished (i.e., trimmed, cut, drilled, ground, or other) to specific sizes or shapes. Color, texture and pattern, and surface finish of the stone are also normal requirements. Another important selection criterion is durability: the time measure of the ability of dimension stone to endure and to maintain its essential and distinctive characteristics of strength, resistance to decay, and appearance. [ 1]Quarries that produce dimension stone or crushed stone (used as construction aggregate) are interconvertible. Since most quarries can produce either one, a crushed stone quarry can be converted to dimension stone production. However, first the stone shattered by heavy and indiscriminate blasting must be removed. Dimension stone is separated by more precise and delicate techniques, such as diamond wire saws, diamond belt saws, burners (jet-piercers), [2] or light and selective blasting with Primacord, a weak explosive.

"text": "\"Stamped Concrete Patios Tips and design ideas for using stamps to add texture to a concrete patio Stamped Concrete Patios Time: 03:48 Cohen shows some of his favorite patterns and techniques for stamped concrete patios and walkways. A colored and stamped concrete patio is the perfect decorative \"\"flooring\"\" for outdoor entertaining areas, offering all the beauty of an indoor floor along with the superior durability and weather resistance of exterior concrete. More homeowners are also realizing that a stamped concrete patio can give them the high-end look of natural stone, but at a much lower price tag. “ We charge around $15 per square foot for stamped concrete, while pavers typically cost around $20 per square foot, and real flagstone or bluestone approaches $30,” says C. J. Salzano of Salzano Custom Concrete, Centreville, Va. What’s more, the money you save by installing a stamped concrete patio can be set aside for other enhancements to your outdoor space, such as a pergola or concrete fire pit. Stamped concrete patios give you a vast array of decorative options not possible with other patio materials. The patio can be poured in any shape or size to fit the space, and you can choose from many different stone and brick patterns and even wood-grained textures. Using stains, powdered pigments and antiquing agents, contractors can color your patio to look identical to natural stone or customize the color to complement your home and landscape. You can also set off your patio with a decorative border in a contrasting color and pattern. See these stamped concrete patio project examples: Tiered Concrete Patio Mimics Grouted Stone These homeowners wanted the look of a natural stone patio, but didn't want to pay the high price. Concrete stamped in an Old English Slate was the perfect solution."

They are beautiful to look at. Some of the stones with which they are made of weighs more than 15 tons. But if you watch carefully you will be surprised with the placement of those stones. They were placed neatly side by side. That is why when you will reach Peru, guides will certainly mention about the gap between those stones.

The longevity of mortar joints should last about 45 years, but will vary with the exposure conditions and the material used. Since brick can last over 100 years, the occassional maintenance tast for brick masonry is the repair of mortar joints. Repointing your home as soon as you see deterioration in the mortar if the most effective and permanent way of decreasing water entry into the brickwork and making it worse. Can you match mortar color to blend in with the existing one? Yes. The first step toward achieving a consistent mortar color is using the same ingredients as the home or building was built with. Many years of specializing in brick repair has helped us to develop a fool-proof method of matching colors of mortar, allowing us to match any existing mortar or brick regardless of color or age. The cracks in brick and mortar virtually disappear. Colored mortar is most often mixed at the job site—using pre-blended materials or individual ingredients."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Inca Empire Inca wall at Machu Picchu, constructed in dry ashlar masonry laid in parallel courses North gable of the Town Hall, Banbury, Oxfordshire, built in ashlar masonry Ashlar polygonal masonry in Cuzco, Peru Architect Henry Hobson Richardson specified quarry-faced red Longmeadow sandstone in random ashlar for the North Congregational Church (Springfield, Massachusetts, 1871). Although each ashlar block was cut with great precision on the faces adjacent to each other, the external face was left rough as when removed from the quarry. The blocks were carefully laid without continuous courses or joints both vertically and horizontally, giving a random appearance. Ashlar is finely dressed (cut, worked) masonry, either an individual stone that has been worked until squared or the masonry built of such stone. It is the finest stone masonry unit, generally cuboid, mentioned by Vitruvius as opus isodomum, or less frequently trapezoidal. Precisely cut \"\"on all faces adjacent to those of other stones\"\", ashlar is capable of very thin joints between blocks, and the visible face of the stone may be quarry-faced or feature a variety of treatments: tooled, smoothly polished or rendered with another material for decorative effect. [ 1] [2]One such decorative treatment consists of small grooves achieved by the application of a metal comb. Generally used only on softer stone ashlar, this decoration is known as mason's drag. [ 3]Ashlar is in contrast to rubble masonry, which employs irregularly shaped stones, although sometimes minimally worked or selected for similar size, or both. Ashlar is related but distinct from other stone masonry that is finely dressed but not quadrilateral, such as curvilinear masonry and polygonal masonry. ["

Flagstone ( flag) is a generic flat stone, usually used for paving slabs or walkways, patios, fences and roofing. It may be used for memorials, headstones, facades and other constructions. The name derives from Middle English flagge meaning turf, perhaps from Old Norse flaga meaning slab or chip. [ 1]House on Westray, Orkney, with flagstone roof Flagstone is a sedimentary rock that is split into layers along bedding planes. Flagstone is usually a form of a sandstone composed of feldspar and quartz and is arenaceous in grain size (0.16 mm – 2 mm in diameter). The material that binds flagstone is usually composed of silica, calcite, or iron oxide. The rock color usually comes from these cementing materials. Typical flagstone colors are red, blue, and buff, though exotic colors exist."

In practice, the engineer makes a drawing of the intended stonework, showing where the joints in the face are to be located, and the stone cutter then details each block and cuts it to fit exactly with the others. It is therefore important for the engineer to understand the different finishes to which stone is dressed, but it is not necessary for him to be able to make the templates for each stone. Rock-Faced Work. In Fig. 3 is shown rock-faced, or pitch-faced work, and the method of using the pitching chisel.

The Minoans were primarily a mercantilist people engaged in overseas trade. The Minoans managed a lucrative ancient shipping empire that dominated the Mediterranean, Greece, the Greek Islands, and stretched as far as Black Sea. This naval power was used to ferry trade goods throughout the Greek Islands and these trading ferries made the Minoans extremely wealthy. The Minoans also relied on this infrastructure for their food supply and would ferry grain from the Black Sea farms back to their Greek Island beaches. Many historians and archaeologists believe that the Minoans, through their ships and Mediterranean trade empire, were highly involved in the Bronze Age's important tin trade (tin being used for manufacture of bronze). The decline of Minoan civilization and the decline in use of bronze tools seem to be correlated. Geography and Climate of Crete Crete is a mountainous island in the Mediterranean with natural harbors. During the ancient period the island was wracked by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and winter storms. According to Homer, Crete had 90 cities, of which Knossos was the most important one."

The shrub, a member of the nightshade family that is also known as Indian ginseng, is native to the arid regions of India, the Middle East and North Africa, and it is also cultivated today in milder climates, including parts of the United States. Prized by the ancients for its reputed rejuvenating properties, ashwagandha is getting increased attention in light of medical research providing evidence of its medicinal properties. Consult your doctor before taking ashwagandha or any other herbal remedy. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Anti-Cancer Properties Naturopathic doctor Marie Winters undertook a review of the scientific literature covering ashwagandha’s potential as a complementary therapy in the treatment of cancer. In an article published in the 2006 issue of “Alternative Medicine Review,” Winters cites in vitro and animal studies showing that ashwagandha is effective in inhibiting the spread of tumor cells while also extending the lives of animals studied. Other studies included in Winters’ review indicate that ashwagandha eases the effects of radiation treatment and chemotherapy on patients without in any way lessening the effectiveness of these treatments. Winters concludes that ashwagandha “presents itself as a novel complementary therapy for oncology care. ”Combats Stress-Related Hypertension A team of Indian researchers conducted a small-scale clinical study to determine whether daily supplementation with ashwagandha could help treat stress-related hypertension. Researchers assembled a study group of 51 stress-oriented hypertensive patients, who were then divided into two roughly equal groups."

Benefits of Ashwagandha Ashwagandha is one of the most effective herbs for balancing hormones and reducing the detrimental effects of occasional stress. * Studies have shown, ashwagandha helps to:*Support stress management Support mental focus Support homeostasis (hormonal balance in the body)Ashwagandha also offers antioxidant and immune supporting properties. * Stress and the HPA Axis When feeling stressed, the body goes into a “fight or flight” response and secretes increased amounts of stress hormones cortisol and adrenaline. This occurs through the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis (a central hormone pathway), which includes the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland, and the adrenal glands. A prolonged stress response can disrupt the hormone levels in the body and lead to a number of different stress-induced symptoms. How Does Ashwagandha Work? Ashwagandha is a calming herb that helps to support the entire HPA axis, providing a subtle balancing effect on all the systems of the body. * Ashwagandha supports the hypothalamus (included in the HPA axis), which regulate important functions such as hormone levels, temperature, and sleep cycles. *"

It is commonly prescribed as a tonic for daily use, especially for those suffering or recovering from illness. So, we naturally come to the question: how much ashwagandha is safe to use? The dosage depends on the types of ashwagandha products available. You can find ashwagandha from reliable ayurvedic practitioners in 3 forms: ashwagandha root or leaf powder, root or leaf extract, and capsules.1."

"text": "Why Buying Shilajit in Capsule Form is a Waste of Money1. Capsules are the easiest form of mumijo to counterfeit. There is a huge problem with counterfeit shilajeet capsules. Most mumijo in capsule form is counterfeit. Its easy to fake because it is mixed in with other materials during the encapsulation process, and therefore near impossible to tell what is real and what is not. This makes it particularly easy for manufacturers to put very, very little true shilajeet in their capsules, while selling the product for a high price.2. The shilajit dosage is impossible to manage. Since the product inside the capsule can never be accurately measured, it’s impossible to know how much you are really consuming, how many capsules you need, etc. Shilajit dosage is straight-forward when taking solid, pure shilajit medicine, but as soon as it is combined with other materials and fillers, you have no idea whether or not you’ve taken enough. If the shilajit dosage you are taking is not enough, you are basically throwing your money away!3."

"text": "\"The Weight Loss Benefits of Ashwagandhaby ANDREW BENNETT July 18, 2017The Indian herb ashwagandha may provide many weight loss benefits to support your diet and exercise program. According to \"\"Life Extension Magazine,\"\" scientists theorize that many of ashwagandha's health-boosting properties comes from the antioxidant steroidal alkaloids and lactones, principally the withanolides. Ashwagandha may fight stress and aid weight loss by acting as a natural adaptogen in the body, fighting disease and decreasing levels of stress hormones. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Consult with a health-care practitioner before using ashwagandha to treat any medical condition. Adaptogenic Activity Adaptogens fight the physiological effects of stress in the body. Dieting and intense or frequent workouts can place a lot of stress on the body, leading to plateaus in progress or even injury. Training and/or dieting for too long without down-shifting for recovery can cause symptoms of over-training, such as muscle loss, decreased energy, weakened immune function and decreased metabolic rate, according to \"\"Xtreme Lean\"\" authors Jonathan Lawson and Steve Holman. Decreased Cortisol Cortisol not only acts as a stress hormone in the body, it can also make you fat, according to \"\"The Cortisol Connection\"\" by Shawn Talbott. Worse, chronically high levels of cortisol promote diseases like obesity, heart disease and diabetes. Ashwagadandha can naturally lower cortisol levels up to 26 percent, reports the Life Extension Magazine article \"\"Stress Reduction, Neural Protection, and a Lot More from an Ancient Herb\"\" by Dale Kiefer."

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

"text": "Ashwaganda for Anxiety Ancient herbal remedy for modern life stress Posted Jan 08, 2014SHARETWEETEMAILMORESource: peter bongiorno Ashwaganda (latin name: Withania somnifera) is an herbal medicine with a rich tradition. Its use dates back three millennia to the time the Ayurvedic practitioners in India began using it for people with anxiety, low energy, and the ravages of aging. The word “ ashwaganda ” translates to “ smell of horse” and has a dual meaning: one is that the herb itself does have that particular aromatic quality, and second, because traditional belief is that consumption can help it’s user gain a horse-like strength and vitality. Luckily, if you take this herb, you will not smell like a horse, but many of my patients do find increased energy and vigor. How Does Ashwaganda Work? Ashwaganda has been studied for its benefits to lower inflammation, help Parkinson’s Disease and other neurological disorders, and has been used as an adjunct in cancer care to support low white blood cell count (Mishra et al., 2004). While this plant medicine contains many plant compounds that help balance the body’s physiology, ashwaganda’s most well-researched phytochemicals are it’s alkaloids and lactones (known as withanolides), which are thought to act as hormonal precursors (no authors, 2004). In holistic medical care, ashwanganda is seen as ‘adaptogenic’, meaning it will help increase effect when activity is low, but will block excess stimulation when activity is too high (Bhattacharya et al, 2000). This is a very good choice for the wild hormonal variations that occur with anxiety."

"text": "What Is Ashwagandha? By Jenna Saunders Ashwagandha, one of the most powerful herbs in Ayurvedic healing, has been used since ancient times for a wide variety of conditions. It is most well-known for its restorative and rejuvenating benefits. In Sanskrit ashwagandha means “the smell of a horse,” indicating that the herb has the potential to impart the vigor and strength of a stallion. The root of the plant is also reported to have a smell reminiscent of horse sweat. Traditionally, ashwagandha has been prescribed as a nerve tonic and adaptogen—an agent which helps the body adapt to various emotional and physical stressors. It has classically been used in India for nearly 5,000 years for conditions such as failure to thrive in children, weakness and debility in old age, rheumatism, constipation, insomnia, nervous conditions, stress, goiter, joint inflammation, parasites, hormone balance, and more. A paste made from the root powder applied topically can treat boils, ulcers, and other skin irritations and infections. Ashwagandha is known to help people strengthen their immune system after illness, chemotherapy, or surgery. It is a highly effective, evidence-based remedy for anxiety and stress—by lowering cortisol levels and mimicking the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA."

"text": "5 Herbs To Help Overcome Your Thyroid Condition Published January 15, 2011Updated October 7, 2014Many people with thyroid and autoimmune thyroid conditions are interested to know which herbs can help restore their health back to normal. Of course there isn’t a single herb or nutritional supplement that can accomplish this on its own. However, when used in combination with other factors, such as eating well, managing stress, and minimizing one’s exposure to toxins, some herbs can be extremely helpful not only in managing the symptoms of both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, but they can also be an important part of restoring someone’s health back to normal. For example, when I was diagnosed with Graves’ Disease, which is an autoimmune hyperthyroid condition, I used multiple herbs as part of my natural thyroid treatment protocol. Some of these herbs I’ll be discussing below. While using these herbs alone wouldn’t have restored my health back to normal, combining them with other changes I made in my lifestyle did help to contribute to my successful recovery from Graves’ Disease. As you’ll soon find out, not all of these herbs are necessary to take. Some of these herbs are beneficial for hyperthyroidism, while others should be taken when someone has a hypothyroid condition. Some of these herbs can be taken with either condition, while others are contraindicated for certain conditions. For example, one of the herbs I took while on a natural thyroid treatment protocol was Bugleweed, which can be extremely helpful for hyperthyroid conditions, but is contraindicated for hypothyroidism."

"text": "Three Ayurvedic herbs ease chronic fatigue syndrome Posted by: Jonathan Landsman in Natural Cures April 20, 2014 2 Comments (Natural Health365) Over a million people in the United States are currently diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). According to the Centers for Disease Control, it is likely that millions more are battling similar symptoms, but don’t meet all the standards for a formal diagnosis. What are the signs of CFS? Well, symptoms – which include overwhelming fatigue, confusion, memory loss, joint pain, anxiety and depression – can be debilitating; in severe cases, careers, marriages and relationships may be jeopardized. Yet, CFS remains a mystery although – like many health issues – many experts believe that environmental toxins like EMF pollution from wireless technology; nutritional deficiencies and emotional stress may play a role. Conventionally speaking, there is no cure for CFS but, sadly, these same physicians will often prescribe NSAIDS and antidepressants to help ‘manage’ symptoms – which offer plenty of negative side effects. How can Ayurvedic Medicine help heal CFS? In Ayurveda, chronic fatigue syndrome – or bala kshaya – is believed to be caused by a buildup of toxins, resulting in a disconnect between mind, body and spirit. Treatment is holistic, and includes meditation, diet, massage, breathing techniques and herbal therapies. Naturally, it’s an intelligent decision to minimize your toxic burden – as a top priority – along with incorporating immune-supportive therapies."

Capable of understanding a series of preprogrammed gestures, phrases, commands, ASIMO can also recognize voices and faces and interface with IC Communication Cards. Standing at 4 feet 3 inches (1.3 meters), ASIMO is meant to be a non-intimidating helper to people and is often described as a “kid wearing a spacesuit.” ASIMO can do jobs too dangerous for humans to do, such as fighting fires, entering hazardous areas, and even disarming bombs. The three main and most incredible functions of ASIMO is the robot’s ability to walk independently and maintain balance, its smooth motion, and its senses. Kevin Le One of the things which make ASIMO so unique is the robot’s ability to walk independently. Engineers at Honda developed ASIMO’s walking mechanism by studying the legs of insects, mammals, and the motion of a mountain climber with prosthetic legs. To create ASIMO’s body movements, many things had to be taken into account, such as how humans shift their weight and use toes to balance themselves. In fact, ASIMO has soft pads underneath each foot which act as “toes” and also act as shock absorbers. Like humans, ASIMO has hip, knee, and foot joints and has an incredible 34 degrees of freedom (a degree of freedom is how engineers refer to joint movement in robotics)."

They are two different entities, but one is the original, and the other simply branched out from the first. Both have the same roots, but they have different functions and scope. This is how Honda and Acura operate. Acura is just one of the branches, or divisions, of Honda. It is the branch that specializes in the luxury line of Honda cars. It boasts of being the pioneer to break into the foreign market of luxury cars. Acura was responsible for changing the perception of Japanese autos from being the economical type, into the luxury brand. This division was founded sometime in 1986, in Tokyo, Japan. In the same year, it debuted in North America, and its entry proved to be a successful move for the company."

"text": "\"The Honda Insight Is Dead: Here’s Why By Timothy Cain on August 29, 2014Tweet More than two years after American Honda last produced meaningful sales volume with its first Insight, a second Insight arrived to tackle the Toyota Prius head-on. Only it didn’t, because it couldn’t. The Insight’s death was reported here at the end of last month. There was no accompanying shock, surprise or horror. Though it has competed with a much lower base MSRP than the core Prius model, the Insight is a 42 mpg car fighting against the hybrid, a 50 mpg Prius. Those are the numbers that mattered most to potential customers, not cargo capacity or horsepower or airbags. ( The Prius, incidentally, has more cargo capacity behind the rear seats and with seats folded, more horsepower, and more airbags. ) Think of this way. The Prius was akin to the establishment candidate for the ruling party, a guy who’d led the country for years, a policy wonk with a certain charm. In comes Insight, somebody who was once known as a revolutionary politician but disappeared for a few years before returning with fewer baby kisses, less foreign affairs awareness, and no real plan for reducing the deficit."

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

In fact, some people argue that it's pointless for robotic researchers to build robots in our image; existing humanoids fall short of what science-fiction authors have dreamed up, so we should just give up.

Whether it’s ultra exotics driven by the Beautiful People or rust-free rarities carefully maintained with end-of-week savings, chances are your neighbor, friend or coworker’s ride makes your commuter car — premium or not — look as banal as dry toast. How does a car buyer turn heads, ideally while projecting an all-caps message about their chosen lifestyle, without breaking the bank or A-Teaming a tired sedan into some sort of grotesque absurdity? Honda has the answer. For now — and Honda accountants would prefer that the “rarity” period remains a short one — driving a leased Clarity Fuel Cell sedan puts you in a very exclusive club. By month’s end, Honda expects the number of next-generation, hydrogen-powered five-seaters plying the roadways of the Golden State to top the three-figure mark. Huge numbers, for sure.

"text": "On the Internet, everybody is a millenarian. Internet journalism, according to those who produce manifestos on its behalf, represents a world-historical development—not so much because of the expressive power of the new medium as because of its accessibility to producers and consumers. That permits it to break the long-standing choke hold on public information and discussion that the traditional media—usually known, when this argument is made, as “gatekeepers” or “the priesthood”—have supposedly been able to maintain up to now. “ Millions of Americans who were once in awe of the punditocracy now realize that anyone can do this stuff—and that many unknowns can do it better than the lords of the profession,” Glenn Reynolds, a University of Tennessee law professor who operates one of the leading blogs, Instapundit, writes, typically, in his new book, “An Army of Davids: How Markets and Technology Empower Ordinary People to Beat Big Media, Big Government and Other Goliaths. ”The rhetoric about Internet journalism produced by Reynolds and many others is plausible only because it conflates several distinct categories of material that are widely available online and didn’t use to be. One is pure opinion, especially political opinion, which the Internet has made infinitely easy to purvey. Another is information originally published in other media—everything from Chilean newspaper stories and entries in German encyclopedias to papers presented at Micronesian conferences on accounting methods—which one can find instantly on search and aggregation sites. Lately, grand journalistic claims have been made on behalf of material produced specifically for Web sites by people who don’t have jobs with news organizations. According to a study published last month by the Pew Internet & American Life Project, there are twelve million bloggers in the United States, and thirty-four per cent of them consider blogging to be a form of journalism. That would add up to more than four million newly minted journalists just among the ranks of American bloggers."

"text": "Brand storytelling: Narrative theory Brand stories can attract and engage consumers but some sectors are finding it more difficult to get their message across. By Jonathan Bacon 17 Jul 2013 12:00 am (Above: Barclays’ Life Skills programme is part of its storytelling initiative to rake back trust after the Libor-rigging scandal)What’s the story of your brand? Storytelling, or providing consistent and compelling content to build a picture of a company, is becoming more important as people scrutinise brands and businesses. And while storytelling is a broad concept that means different things to different marketers, exclusive research suggests that some brands are doing better than others with their stories and how they tell them. The study by research firm One Poll, which was commissioned by brand storytelling agency Aesop, attempts to define storytelling according to 10 criteria, including whether brands “have a clear sense of purpose”, whether consumers are “intrigued to see what they’ll do next” and whether those brands “create their own world”. More than 1,500 UK adults were asked to rate 100 major brands against this criteria before One Poll used the responses to compile a list of the best storytelling brands (see box, below) . To see the whole top 100 click the link under ‘tables’ on the right Given the central role that storytelling plays in developing a brand’s identity, it is perhaps not surprising that the ranking is dominated by some of the world’s biggest brands, with Apple topping the list and other brands such as Coca-Cola, Mc Donald’s and Heinz featuring in the top 10. But the study also offers an interesting insight into perceptions towards different industries. For example, while retail, food and drink and FMCG brands fare particularly well in the rankings, brands in the utilities, financial services and automotive sectors are considered less adept at storytelling. The highest ranking financial services brand (Visa) is 30th out of 100, while the best storytelling bank or building society (Nationwide) is only 53rd."

Robotics deals with the design, construction, operation, and use of robots, as well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing. These technologies are used to develop machines that can substitute for humans and replicate human actions. Robots can be used in any situation and for any purpose, but today many are used in dangerous environments (including bomb detection and de-activation ), manufacturing processes, or where humans cannot survive. Robots can take on any form but some are made to resemble humans in appearance. This is said to help in the acceptance of a robot in certain replicative behaviors usually performed by people. Such robots attempt to replicate walking, lifting, speech, cognition, and basically anything a human can do. Many of today's robots are inspired by nature, contributing to the field of bio-inspired robotics. The concept of creating machines that can operate autonomously dates back to classical times, but research into the functionality and potential uses of robots did not grow substantially until the 20th century. [ 1] Throughout history, it has been frequently assumed that robots will one day be able to mimic human behavior and manage tasks in a human-like fashion."

The grievance was filed Wednesday, the same day Tensing became the first law enforcement officer in the history of the Tri-State to be charged with murder. UC fired Tensing shortly after Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said \"\"I'm treating him like a murderer\"\" and announced he was indicted on murder and voluntary manslaughter charges in the July 19 slaying of Samuel Du Bose, 43. \"\" He never should have been a police officer,\"\" Deters said. But the police union says UC violated Tensing's employment contract by giving him a pre-disciplinary conference and a copy of the formal charges. A mandatory grievance hearing will be held in the next few weeks, said Tom Fehr, spokesman for Fraternal Order of Police, Ohio Labor Council Inc. If the grievance is upheld, Tensing will get his job back. If it is denied, the case will go to arbitration."

"text": "F ormer Simpson prosecutor Marcia Clark, with guns blazing, is rising from the ashes of her humiliating defeat with the 1995 acquittal of O. J. Simpson in the murder of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown, and her friend, Ronald Goldman. Clark’s resurgence is due, in part, to a wave of sympathetic publicity with a recent airing of an FX multi-part melodrama. She has narrowed the focus of her shotgun spray of blame that riddled her 20-year-old multi-million-dollar co-written post-trial memoir and taken aim on just the trial judge. Although never camera or reporter-notebook shy in the years since penning that memoir, Clark is capitalizing on her newfound fame by targeting Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Lance Ito, who retired last year, with a revisionist trial history extraordinaire. The first fabrication that hit my radar was an interview a few weeks ago in which Clark claimed that Ito was the one who came up with the idea for Simpson to try on the so-called bloody gloves that led to defense attorney Johnnie Cochran’s now-infamous line, “if it doesn’t fit, you must acquit. ”Despite being in the courtroom and behind the scenes every day, meeting with Ito daily–sometime several times a day, keeping up with the media coverage and reading, hearing and writing a lot about the case in the years since, I had never heard anything about Ito coming up with the idea to have Simpson try on the gloves. Rather than rely solely on my memory, although I would have had to be deep in the clutches of dementia to have forgotten something that significant, I checked with a reporter who attended every day of the trial and probably had the best access to all of the lawyers in that case, and, eventually to Simpson himself. “I never heard any such thing and think it’s an effort to rewrite history,” the reporter said. I also checked with one of Ito’s law interns who worked in his chambers and was privy to every aspect of the case. Like the reporter, the law intern knew about or had heard anything like Clark’s assertion."

Their 3G coverage is far from impressive to begin with. The signal fades and dies off almost everywhere and I find my Iphone running out of battery juice by constantly trying to search for a connection rather than for other usages. Just earlier today, I've found some suspicious amounts on outgoing call charges and decided to make a call to the M1 customer helpline to get an idea of exactly what am i billed for. Guess what they told me? The CSO on the other side of the line said he wont be able to provide a breakdown of my bill unless i pay 5 bucks to request an itemised bill be printed out. And he is not able to look from his side into the system on the breakdown of my call charges. What the Hell ?

' September 7, 2016 By Bre Payton During a townhall meeting in Laos, President Barack Obama called Americans “lazy” multiple times. For one, Obama said Americans’ reluctance to embrace his favored environmental policies is a sign of laziness. “Usually when you see the environment destroyed, it’s not because it’s necessary for development,” Obama said. “ It’s usually because we’re being lazy and we’re not being as creative as we could be about how to do it in a smarter, more sustainable way. ”He also accused Americans of being isolated and ignorant because the United States is such a big country. “The United States is and can be a great force for good in the world. But because we’re such a big country, we haven’t always had to know about other parts of the world,” he said. “ If you’re in the United States, sometimes you can feel lazy and think we’re so big we don’t have to really know anything about other people. ”At a town hall in Laos, President Obama twice suggested that Americans are \"\"lazy\"\" — culturally and environmentally."

"text": "New Jersey Medical Marijuana Law Signed, But No Pardon For Convicted MS Patient Jan 19, 2010 Corzine, John Wilson, New Jersey Last night, New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine signed a medical marijuana bill into law, officially making New Jersey the 14 th state in the nation to allow qualified patients to use medical marijuana with their doctor’s recommendation. The law allows the establishment of dispensaries around the state, but it does not make it legal for patients to grow their own marijuana. This law means that New Jersey will no longer prosecute sick and dying patients who try to ease their symptoms with marijuana, but it apparently does not apply retroactively. On the same day Gov. Corzine signed such compassionate legislation, he also refused to pardon one of the most glaring victims of New Jersey’s old marijuana laws— John Wilson, a 37-year-old multiple sclerosis patient who faces 10 years in prison for growing marijuana plants to ease his condition. When asked for comment, Wilson’s lawyer said he was “deeply disappointed” that the governor did not grant Wilson clemency before leaving office. Me too.

"text": "Global Reserve Currency Status | PETRODOLLAR0 shares0For the last several decades, the U. S. Dollar has held reserve currency status among the world. This means that it is the most widely held currency among all nations and is often the medium of exchange in the global economy. The role it has as ‘Petrodollar’ is currently the biggest factor in it’s relevance. This however, has enabled the U. S. to spend way beyond its means and engage in deficit spending (spending beyond revenues) since there has been someone willing to buy our bonds. The Problem is that this irresponsibility can’t go on without repercussion. As of late, Russia, China, and some Gulf States have been making moves to no longer recognize the ‘reserve currency’ status of the dollar. If foreign countries no longer need to hold US dollars, or they begin unloading US dollar assets, the US currency would essentially crash. PETRODOLLARPetrodollars are the dollars earned by the sale of petroleum, notably by exporters in the Middle East. Shortly after the dollar lost its gold backing in 1971, international confidence was all but lost in the currency. With a need to restore or supplement that confidence, agreements were reached with the House of Saud."

An individual or entity may petition the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for relief from the requirements of a current regulation. The granting of an exemption is generally viewed as an alternative method of complying with a regulatory requirement. Exemptions are transmitted under Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 11. A grant of exemption and its specific conditions and limitations is a regulatory requirement. A. Use Outside the United States. In accordance with part 11, § 11.83, petitioners that desire to use an exemption outside the United States must specifically request this condition when submitting the petition and must include the reason (s) why the petitioner desires to use the exemption outside the United States. If no reason is provided in the petition, the FAA will limit the exemption for use within the United States. Before the FAA grants an exemption for use outside the United States, it must verify that the exemption would be in compliance with the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) International Standards and Recommended Practices (ISARP). If it would not be in compliance, but the FAA still believes it would be in the public interest to allow the petitioner to do so, the FAA will file a difference with ICAO."

It hit me pretty quickly that what’s happening in the world of AI is not just an important topic, but by far THE most important topic for our future. So I wanted to learn as much as I could about it, and once I did that, I wanted to make sure I wrote a post that really explained this whole situation and why it matters so much. Not shockingly, that became outrageously long, so I broke it into two parts. This is Part 1—Part 2 is here._______________We are on the edge of change comparable to the rise of human life on Earth. — Vernor Vinge What does it feel like to stand here?

Letters like AIA or RA can seem impressive, but what do the letters stand for and do you pronounce them like words? Here's an explanation of why the letters are there, and then a glossary of some of the most common initialisms and acronyms. Generally, these initials fall into three categories:1.

The letters AIA, for example, stand for the American Institute of Architects, the organization that helped architecture become a licensed profession in the United States.

"text": "0Setting up remote access servers and connections in Windows can be somewhat overwhelming and confusing if you don’t understand the protocol configuration options involved. You have a number of remote access protocol options to choose from, and deciding which ones to use will depend on the functionality you need, your system configuration, and your hardware and communications capabilities. To help make sense of all these options, we’ll take a look at the categories of protocols and the advantages and disadvantages of the various protocols within each one. Categories and choices First, you need to consider two distinct methods of remote access, each of which uses different protocols: Dial-up Virtual private networking (VPN)Within each method, there are three basic categories for protocols: Connectivity Authentication Data encryption In making decisions about which protocol to use, you must remember two things. First, you want the best security you can provide for the remote session. You want authentication to be encrypted so that someone who is snooping cannot see it, and you want the data that is passed in the remote session to be encrypted for the same reason. Second, older systems and their associated protocols are less capable in terms of encryption than newer systems, so you need to be aware of when you may have to use the older protocols and what you're giving up when you do. Let’s take a look at the protocols for dial-up connectivity, authentication, and encryption. Then, we will do the same for VPN remote access. Dialing up a connection Dial-up involves one modem connecting with another over the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), creating a temporary, dedicated WAN link."

Mars and Luna are not mutually exclusive goals In early 1999, a new popular theme arose among Mars pundits claiming that it's easier to get to Mars than to Luna because we need less fuel to get there. Unfortunately, there's nothing easy about getting to Mars. Don't get us wrong -- we agree that developing human settlements on Mars will be a fantastic human adventure, and we enthusiastically support the technical work of the Mars Society. We have been working on ways for the lunar community to support missions to other planets since the start of the Artemis Project. You will find some of this work in section 2.5 of the Artemis Data Book. We don't see Luna and Mars as mutually exclusive goals, but some people fear that lunar development will somehow distract resources that could otherwise be focused on exploring Mars. The bad news is that there's lots more to it than fuel."

"text": "\"Pelvic Torsion and Structural Alignment in the Gravitational Fieldby Robert Schleip Published in ROLF LINES, May 1996While I am usually very skeptical with any kind of \"\"structural logic\"\" in our work and prefer to think instead more in terms of nonlinear system dynamics within the complexities of human motor organization, there are few exeptions in which I have come to agree to linear mechanical relationships. Most of them deal with gravity and its long-term effect on human structure. The following article, taken from a recent class handout of mine, is one example. In the practice of Rolfing as well as in several other methods of bodywork it is not uncommon to experience the following scene: the practitioner discovers a pelvic torsion in the client. After successfully unwinding it (with usually either direct or indirect technique) the pelvis does indeed look more balanced on the table. But when the client stands up, the trunk and spine are now suddenly less good balanced than before; sometimes an underlying scoliotic pattern becomes more apparent. The question then comes up: Has the practitioner done something wrong, or something disintegrating to the structure? Or is it an acceptable sign of a necessary \"\"healing crisis\"\" (like in homeopathy and some other natural healing practices)? Or is it a sign of \"\"a beautiful unwinding\"\" of some hidden deeper patterns that are now surfacing and which we gladly appreciate since we can now work with them? This article will explore some anatomical relationships in order to help us to decide."

The private sector owns and protects 85 percent of the nation's infrastructure, while local law enforcement often possesses threat information regarding infrastructure. Thus, to effectively protect the homeland's infrastructure, law enforcement and the private sector must continue to work collaboratively, because neither possesses the necessary resources to do so alone.</p><p style=\"\"margin:0px 0px 1.5em;color:#333333;text-transform:none;line-height:1.5em;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:segoe_uiregular,arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal;orphans:2;widows:2;background-color:#f5f5f5;\"\">There is plenty of knowledge that can be used by investigators and general security practitioners alike."

"text": "\"The Nature and History of Silver Prices When people are looking for current, up-to-date silver prices, what they seek is the silver spot price. This is the real-time price of silver at a given location. It fluctuates throughout the day as buying and selling action unfolds in the futures markets. The exchange where these futures contracts trade hands is known as the COMEX, which is administered by the CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) Group, which merged with the NYMEX (New York Mercantile Exchange) in 2008. Throughout much of the history of human civilization, silver has carried the reputation as \"\"Poor Man's Gold\"\" because it shares many similarities to its precious metal cousin but has historically been valued at a significantly lower price than gold. This makes silver especially useful as a form of low-denomination money. This tradition goes all the way back to antiquity but is based on more than tradition, as we will explore below. A general overview of the gold-to-silver price ratio shows that gold has typically been more than 60 times more expensive than silver over the past decade or so. However, the historical average is closer to a 30:1 ratio. In fact, during the 18th and 19th centuries, the most common ratio was between 16:1 and 15:1."

Gold bullion is real, honest money...and, many say, the best form of money the world has ever known. It is a store of value and a safe haven in times of crisis. Gold is rare, durable and does not wear out in the manner of lesser metals (or paper!) when passed from hand to hand.

Is it cheaper to buy a diamond ring in Bangkok compared to anywhere else in the world? This question has been discussed before in our other popular blog articles – Where and how to buy diamonds in Bangkok, Thailand? Or Where to buy the cheapest diamond in Bangkok, Thailand? But, this still doesn’t answer your question as to how much does it actually cost? So, to give you all actual numbers, I have compiled “an estimate price table” in how much a diamond will cost wholesale (in Bangkok or anywhere). Please note, when compiling these tables I made the following assumptions. If you do decide to change any of these assumptions prices will change accordingly.

"text": "Why We Don’t Sell Argyle Diamonds A common question that we get asked is “Do you sell Argyle diamonds?”. Because we’re in Perth (the capital city of Western Australia) and Argyle’s head office is in Perth as well, with the mine located in the Kimberley, people assume and even think it’s logical that we should sell diamonds from the Argyle diamond mine. However, what a lot of people don’t know is that 95% of diamonds that come from the Argyle mine aren’t gem quality, meaning that colourless to near colourless white diamonds from Argyle are very rare. Characteristics of Argyle diamonds. Source: GIA Gems & Gemology Of those white diamonds that are of gem quality, they usually have the following characteristics: Blue or green fluorescence. Graphite inclusions - inclusions that are black and easier to see with the naked eye. Twinning wisp inclusions, as shown below. A diamond with heavy twinning wisp inclusions. This means that someone wanting a diamond with a colour F and a clarity VS2 (a fairly common colour/clarity combination that we sell) with no fluorescence from the Argyle mine may be out of luck. That said, there does exist demand for jewellery with a distinct Australian theme."

"text": "\"US Home Prices51This chart shows the Case Shiller home price index in US Dollars and in grams of gold. Both indices use the price of a home in January, 2000 as 100. Prices in gold and dollars tracked pretty well until 2001, when the dollar began to collapse, taking the true value of homes down with it. At first, the drop in the dollar simply offset the apparent rise in home prices, and prices in gold worked sideways until 2006. But when home prices began to fall in dollar terms, and dollars were themselves falling in value, the double-whammy pushed true home prices down to levels not seen since the late 1980s. In fact, they set a new record, the lowest level since the index was first published. This means that most homes purchased in the last 20 years are now worth less than the original purchase price, even if they show gains of 100%, 200%, or more, in dollar terms. You should also notice that the most recent uptick in dollar prices is more than offset by the decline in the value of the dollar, the unavoidable side-effect of government bailouts and interest rate price fixing by the Fed. The next chart shows a synthetic index built from several different sets of home price data complied by Shiller for his book Irrational Exuberance. Looking back to 1890, we can see that home prices today are similar to those of the Great Depression, and not far above their all-time lows."

However, in order to trade one futures contract for wheat, you wouldn't be required to put up the full $40,000 value. The CME and its futures commission merchants generally allow speculators to trade futures contracts \"\"on margin,\"\" meaning you would only have to put up an initial performance bond of $3,713 (that's as of 7/20/12, but the requirements change frequently). A 75-cent move in the wheat price would wipe out your initial margin, though, and require you to deposit more money, so be careful when trading commodity futures on margin!

A Daily Reckoning White Paper Report by Greg Grillot DO YOU HAVE an implicit, unswerving trust in the government-assured value of the dollar? If so, please don’t waste your time reading this essay. But if you have even a sliver of doubt in the ever-dwindling value of fiat currency…if you fear the ravages of inflation…or if you’re interested in some non-paper based capital protection and possible appreciation…please read on. You might find a compelling, unique opportunity today. Value of Silver vs. Value of the Dollar: Now, Trade Your Dollars for Actual Gold and Silver (I’ll give you a hint – it’s a new, simple way to trade your dollars for actual physical silver and gold. It’s a way for you to personally return to the cherished and forgotten gold standard. It’s one way you can personally return to sound and honest money – even if the government doesn’t. It’s not a stock, ETF, option or futures contract. The possible profits from those investments are real."

"text": "I am often asked what my price target is for selling silver, or when should people switch from buyers to sellers. While I believe the answer may be different for every person, I mainly want to emphasize – Not yet! Not by a longshot. People understandably want a hard dollar figure for the price of silver as their target to sell. Well, the problem is the US “dollar” keeps being devalued and the supply inflated, and the available above-ground silver reserves keeps shrinking. That is the problem you face when you try to measure something with a shrinking yardstick. So instead of thinking about using dollars to measure silver’s worth, let’s think of the price of some other assets when compared to silver. I tend to agree with the research of Mike Maloney, best selling author of Guide to Investing in Gold and Silver, who is a money historian and is regarded as an expert on the cycles of economies. He explains that investing correctly during each phase of the economic cycle is the road to true wealth. There will be a time when silver becomes overvalued when compared to other assets that will be undervalued at that time."

How close? Embry says, “I think we are very close now in the sense that the physical supplies of both gold and silver are being diminished at a fast clip. I just saw Indian imports (for gold) were up 176% in the latest month. . . . Basically, all this gold and silver is headed from west to east, and I think this is a very, very disturbing development for people who live in the west. The timing of it remains imprecise. I think because of the take down in the paper market is so aggressive, at this point, that there is something that is going on behind the curtain that suggests to me that things are getting very close to reaching a head. We won’t know until it happens, but you got to be on the right side of the trade the moment it happens. You can’t be late.” Embry goes on to say, “I have never seen more negative sentiment in the sector at a time when both gold and silver are remarkably underpriced."

The company owns six miles of the seven-mile strike length where claims were priced per running foot of strike. The Comstock didn't produce the most silver in US history. That would actually be the Silver Valley in Idaho. The Comstock only produced 192 million ounces of silver. Nevada's motto is The Silver State and most of the silver produced in Nevada came from the Comstock. But the Comstock has to be the most famous silver strike in history. Few of us remember the Comstock also produced 8.2 million ounces of gold. It paid for the Union victory of the Civil War, built San Francisco and bought most of Southern California. They called the Comstock a silver district because the gold/silver ratio favored silver at 17 ounces to an ounce of gold."

"text": "Precious Metals: 10 Things To Know Before Jumping Into Gold And Silver By Michael Snyder, on January 19th, 2011As the global economy became increasingly unstable during 2010, investors all over the world flocked to precious metals such as gold, silver, copper and platinum. The price of gold set an all-time record high last year, and gold investors were euphoric. Many analysts are projecting that prices for gold, silver and other precious metals will continue to soar throughout 2011. But does that mean that everyone should just suddenly jump into gold and silver? No, it does not. Precious metals are not for everyone. Just like any other kind of investing, it is absolutely crucial that you get educated before you get involved. Investing in precious metals is very different from other kinds of investments. There are significant hazards and pitfalls to watch out for. But if you take the time to do it right, investing in precious metals can be very rewarding, and it can potentially be a great way to protect your wealth against the tremendous inflation that is coming in the years ahead."

Silver can be found in many different forms, quality and locations, which means silver has different price points at any one instant in time based on supply and demand. The most universally quoted prices for silver are for the large commercially standard .999 fine pure silver 1,000 ounce bars, depending, of course, if one is buying or selling. To have one price of silver, it would be the price between these buy/sell numbers where traders are not inclined to be a buyer and seller, suggesting a fair nominal price as reference, which is broadly called the spot price of silver at any point in time. Over time, silver prices are recorded, compared and charted to suggest trends and overextended price moves. Besides the most current silver price, comparison to the previous day's final price and the 100-day average of final spot closing prices are frequently monitored. What silver price charts does Monex produce? The Silver price charts above feature Monex Spot Prices per ounce, which represent the midpoint between Monex bid and ask prices per ounce, for pure (minimum .999 fine) 1,000-ounce silver bullion bars. The 3-Month Live chart above incorporates the latest Silver Bullion price for the current trading day, while the 6-Month Candlestick, 1-Year Close, 5-Year Close and 10-Year Close charts include the last Silver Bullion price for the previous trading day.

Sign language varies from country to country - in england we use BSL (british sign language) and in the states they use ASL. You will find that even in one country there are regional variations just like accents - so a northener will have different signs to a southener. The interesting thing is this...my parents (both deaf) met up with a couple of german deaf people, and their daughter who could hear. The daughter and I couldn't communicate at all, but the parents - depsite speaking english and german, and having different sign language, soon caught on and were able to communicate fairly well! It was very humbling!! Hope that answers your question... Oh an example is that in the UK we use both hands to sign the alphabet and in the states they only use one.

To a Hearing person the thought of being Deaf and never hearing a sound in a world full of sounds may be a scary thing. However, to a Deaf person the opposite can be true. Growing up Deaf, a person may miss the sounds that a Hearing person has around them all the time, but many have a sense of quiet and peace that a Hearing person will never have. Deaf people have their own culture, language, and can function independently by attending school and by working, just like anyone else. Both Deaf and Hearing people need to learn to accept the differences in each other while understanding that these differences do not make the other strange. Instead, each can learn to communicate with the other and care for each other. Deaf Culture may seem strange to a Hearing person. Each ethnic and religious group has its own culture. A culture is when a group of people come together because they have the same beliefs, thoughts, and behavior patterns."

It is \"\"words of explanation or translation of a foreign or strange word that needs explanation\"\". Wilcox describes gloss as the following: Glossing is the practice of writing a morpheme-by-morpheme 'translation' using English words. Glosses indicate what the individual parts of the native word mean. Glosses do not provide a true translation, which would instead use appropriate English ways of saying \"\"The same thing.\"\" For example, German Es geht mir gut may be glossed as \"\"It goes to-me good\"\" (the hyphenated gloss \"\"to-me\"\" indicates that it refers to a single word in the original). A true English translation of this expression would be something like, \"\"I'm doing fine.\"\" [ 1]Gloss is commonly used in written texts to explain an grammatical structure of signed phrases and sentences. ASL phrases or sentences are glossed in English, but glossing does not mean the same as translating. A gloss of a ASL sentence (s) shows an sequential order in English words that correspond to the ASL words."

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

S. The crash and subsequent fire took the lives of the pilot and three passengers who were touring logging sites. Witnesses said the helicopter lifted off, climbed straight up and turned left. This put the aircraft into a slight tailwind. They said that, after traveling a few hundred feet, the helicopter began to wobble and yaw back and forth. It then descended quickly, striking the ground. There was an explosion and the helicopter was immediately engulfed in flames. Subsequent examination of the engine and airframe indicated no anomalies that would have contributed to the crash, the final report said. The 41-year-old commercial pilot had more than 2,000 hours in helicopters and was certified as a helicopter instructor. No evidence of alcohol or drug impairment was found.

However, these language specialists do more than simply translate words-they relay concepts and ideas between languages. They must thoroughly understand the subject matter in which they work so that they are able to convert information from one language, known as the source language, into another, the target language. In addition, they must remain sensitive to the cultures associated with their languages of expertise. Interpreters and translators are often discussed together because they share some common traits. For example, both need a special ability, known as language combination. This enables them to be fluent in at least two languages-a native, or active, language and a secondary, or passive, language; a small number of interpreters and translators are fluent in two or more passive languages. Their active language is the one that they know best and into which they interpret or translate, and their passive language is one of which they have nearly perfect knowledge. Although some people do both, interpretation and translation are different professions. Each requires a distinct set of skills and aptitudes, and most people are better suited for one or the other."

"text": "\"Hearing Loss/Deafness Sign Language Sign Language Basics for Beginners How to Get Started in Sign Language By Jamie Berke Updated February 06, 2018Share Pin Email Print Image Source / Getty Images Learning sign language can be a fun experience and help you communicate with more people in the deaf and hard of hearing community. It can also lead you down many different paths. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced signer, it's good to understand the different aspects of the language. This includes the basic signs and techniques, where you can find resources to learn it, and the various types of sign languages used throughout the world. Sign Language Alphabet Learning to sign the alphabet (known as the manual alphabet) is usually the first place to begin. Sign Language Alphabet - Each of the 26 letters in the English alphabet are represented with a unique sign in American Sign Language (ASL). They're relatively easy to understand and some even mimic the shape of the letter they represent. Practice these and commit them to memory and you will have a good foundation for signing. Fingerspelling - Once you know the individual letters, you can use them to form complete words. This is called fingerspelling and it's an effective way to communicate, even if you don't know the real sign of a particular word."

The harder they sucked, the more often they'd hear repetitions a single speech sound. After hearing the same sound repeatedly, the babies gradually sucked less enthusiastically (habituation). Then a new sound was played. If the infants' sucking rate increased in response to the new sound, the researchers inferred that the infants discriminated the new sounds from the old one (dishabituation)Interesting finding from speech perception study Interesting Finding: Researchers have established that infants show categorical perception of numerous speech sounds. A fascinating outcome of this research is the discovery that young infants actually make more distinctions than adults do."

"text": "\"As language evolves, the powers that regulate language tend to shift. Just look at the Oxford English Dictionary, who added terms like “duck face,” “lolcat,” and “hawt” to their prestigious lexicon this past December. For the English-speaking world, these additions are anywhere from ridiculous to annoying but at the end of the day, the terms are accepted and agreed upon. But how do these new, internet-laden turns of phrase enter the sign language community? Was there a way of expressing “selfie” in ASL, was there a sign for “photobomb?” Our simplistic question turned into a larger conversation about the nature of communication. Mike Sheffield Author Antwan Duncan Producer Andrew Strasser Videographer Photobomb We turned to Bill Vicars, the president and owner of an organization called Lifeprint, a company who educates through “technology-enhanced delivery of ASL Instruction, excursion-based instruction (trips to amusement parks), and extended-immersion-based program coordination (intense two-week residencies).” Vicars himself is Deaf/HH, which means he is hard of hearing and culturally Deaf as he has immersed himself in the Deaf community. “ In addition to my co workers, the majority of my friends are Deaf… my wife is Deaf,” Vicars explains. ( Capitalizing ‘Deaf’ refers to the Deaf community, as noted by Carol Padden and Tom Humphries, in Deaf in America: Voices from a Culture (1988), “We use the lowercase deaf when referring to the audiological condition of not hearing, and the uppercase Deaf when referring to a particular group of deaf people who share a language – American Sign Language (ASL) – and a culture.”)"

"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. E-mail: [email protected] Johann Guts Muths developed a system of therapeutic gymnastics designed to maintain physical condition and health.6 He was soon followed by fellow German physical educator Friedrich Ludwig Jahn, who created a gymnastics system called turnen, which can be roughly translated as “movement."

"text": "\"Edit Article How to Study Haematology Haematology, is the branch of biology (physiology), pathology, clinical laboratory, internal medicine, and pediatrics that is concerned with the study of blood, the blood-forming organs, and blood diseases. Hematology includes the study of etiology, diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and prevention of blood diseases. Here are some important aspects to learn about it when you first start studying haematology in medicine. Steps1 Know the different terminology for physicians specialized in haematology. Such physicians are known as haematologists. Their routine work mainly includes the care and treatment of patients with haematological diseases, although some may also work at the haematology laboratory viewing blood films and bone marrow slides under the microscope, interpreting various haematological test results. In some institutions, haematologists also manage the haematology laboratory. Physicians who work in haematology laboratories, and most commonly manage them, are pathologists specialized in the diagnosis of haematological diseases, referred to as haematopathologists. Haematologists and haematopathologists generally work in conjunction to formulate a diagnosis and deliver the most appropriate therapy if needed.2 Be aware that haematology is a distinct subspecialty of internal medicine, separate from but overlapping with the subspecialty of medical oncology. Haematologists may specialise further or have special interests, for example in:bleeding disorders such as haemophilia and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpurahaematological malignacies such as lymphoma and leukemia (onco haematology)haemoglobinopathiesthe science of blood transfusion and the work of a blood bankbone marrow and stem cell transplantation3 Learn about the blood diseases that affect the production and functions of blood and its components, such as blood cells, hemoglobin, blood proteins, the mechanism of coagulation, etc."

The declared value of a package represents UPS's maximum liability for the package in the case of loss or damage. If no value is declared, UPS's maximum liability for loss or damage to a package or international shipment is US$100 (or the equivalent in local currency). Shippers sending goods with values exceeding US$100 can choose to declare a higher value for the goods, up to certain maximum amounts and subject to restrictions, by paying an additional charge. UPS is not liable for loss or damage to a package that is not properly packed to withstand the series of movements through the small package environment (as described in the UPS Tariff/Terms and Conditions of Service (see Section on Responsibility for Loss or Damage).

Normal findings (Method: Immunoturbidimetric) Adult/older adult: Less than 200 international units/m L; 17 yr andyounger: Less than 150 international units/m L. Description Group A β-hemolytic streptococci secrete streptolysin O,, a toxin which can hemolyze red bloodcells. Circulating toxin stimulates the immune system to develop streptolysin O antibodies. Theseantistreptolysin O (ASO) antibodies form within 1 wk after the onset of a streptococcal infection andpeak 2 to 3 wk later.

"text": "\"Streptococcal Antibody Tests Streptococcal Antibody Tests Definition Streptococcal infections are caused by a microorganism called Streptococcus. Threestreptococcal antibody tests are available: the antistreptolysin O titer (ASO), theantideoxyribonuclease-B titer (anti-Dnase-B, or ADB), and the streptozyme test. Purpose The antistreptolysin O titer, or ASO, is ordered primarily to determine whether a previous group A Streptococcus infection has caused a poststreptococcal disease, such as scarlet fever, rheumatic fever, or a kidney disease called glomerulonephritis. The anti-DNase-B (ADB) test is performed to determine a previous infection of a specific type of Streptococcus, group A beta-hemolytic Streptococcus. Identification of infections of this type areparticularly important in suspected cases of acute rheumatic fever (ARF) or acuteglomerulonephritis. Streptozyme is a screening test used to detect antibodies to several streptococcal antigens. An antigen is a substance that can trigger an immune response, resulting in production of an antibody as part of the body's defense against infection and disease. Precautions For the ASO test, increased levels of fats, called beta lipoproteins, in the blood can neutralizestreptolysin O and cause a false-positive ASO titer. Antibiotics, which reduce the number of streptococci and thereby suppress ASO production, may decrease ASO levels. Steroids, whichsuppress the immune system, consequently may also suppress ASO production."

"text": "\"Anti Streptolysin O (ASO) Test: Principle, Procedure and Interpretation 4.1 / 5 ( 10 )August 8, 2013by Tankeshwar Acharyain Immunology, laboratory diagnosis of Bacterial Disease, serology · 5 Comments The test principle, procedure and interpretation presented here are based on Latex Anti-Streptolysin O (ASO) test. The presence of Anti streptolysin O antibodies in serum can be indicated by seeing the ability of serum to neutralize the hemolytic activity of streptolysin O reagent (antigen). It is a rapid latex agglutination test for the qualitative and semi-quantitative determination of anti-streptolysin-O antibodies (ASO) in serum. In infections caused by β-haemolytic streptococci, streptolysin-O is one of the two hemolytic exotoxins liberated from the bacteria that stimulates production of ASO antibodies in the human serum. The presence and the level of these antibodies in a serum may reflect the nature and severity of infection. ASO latex reagent is a stabilized buffered suspension of polystyrene latex particles that have been coated with Streptolysin O. ASO Latex test When the latex reagent is mixed with a serum containing ASO, agglutination occurs. The sensitivity of the latex reagent has been adjusted to yield agglutination when the level of ASO is greater than 200 IU/ml, a level determined to be indicative of disease by epidemiological and clinical studies. Sera having titers of between 200 IU/ml to 3500 IU/ml will be reactive. Sample Collection and Handling: Only fresh serum specimens should be used. Plasma must not be used since fibrinogen may cause non-specific agglutination of the latex."

In response I had jokingly said that Davos would be Lightbringer but then I started thinking seriously about it and it seems like Davos may actually be this mythical figure. I thought I’d post it here to possibly get some feedback, at least to see if it is totally in the tinfoil territory or not. And I'm still trying to figure out the code so please forgive any mistakes in regards to that. There is actually a strong association with Davos and Lightbringer. Most, if not all, iirc, of the historical information we get on the original Lightbringer comes from Davos chapters. We also see Stannis’ Lightbringer and hear some of the history from Davos’ very first POV chapter. Stannis had used his Lightbringer when he raised Davos to Lord and Hand. He, well his shadow to be exact, is also described as a sword at one point, shortly after he spirits Edric Storm away to save him from Melisandre’s fires.

Previous Elevated ASOT meaning Basically: ASO is a medical term for “antistreptolysin O”, antistreptolysin O is a medical term for “ASO antibody” or “ASO Ab”, which is a weapon released against foreign attacks by a substance called “streptolysin O”, streptolysin O is a bacterial toxin breaks blood cells and causes hydrolysis of your blood, complications of high ASO titers include kidney inflammation, arthritis, rheumatic fever which scars the valves of the heart.‘ Strep ‘ is a shortcut for Streptococcus bacteria Titer or titre means “concentration” or “unit”Normal ASO titer range is 100 IU/m L for adult and preschool age child, 200 IU/m L for child at school age It’s better to call it negative level than normal level. ASO test is a measure of the antistreptolysin O antibodies level in your blood,When ASOT blood test results show: A value from 0.0 to 250 unit/ml it means probably no strep infection, ASO titer from 250 to 400 titer/ml means equivocal result need a confirmation by serial testing, ASO titer higher than 400 titer/ml means probable recent strep infection. ASO test are used when searching for evidence of recent streptococcal infection in suspected post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis (PSGN) ” a kidney inflammation disease” or rheumatic fever (RF). Serial ASOT tests should be done, looking for rising titers. A high ASO level is more likely to be significant and sustained ASO levels may indicate persisting infection. PSGN or RF can easily be over-diagnosed when an isolated, equivocal, titre is used as evidence. See more ASOT results interpretation:7 years daughter had ASO titre over 1000 and knee pain ASOT Titre 800 and CRP 30Confirmation Tests after High ASO Titer: Time-course after streptococcal infection ASOT and ASK start to rise a few days after infection commences.

Perfective aspect is used in referring to an event conceived as bounded and unitary, without reference to any flow of time during (\"\"I helped him\"\"). Imperfective aspect is used for situations conceived as existing continuously or repetitively as time flows (\"\"I was helping him\"\"; \"\"I used to help people\"\"). Further distinctions can be made, for example, to distinguish states and ongoing actions ( continuous and progressive aspects) from repetitive actions ( habitual aspect ). Certain aspectual distinctions express a relation in time between the event and the time of reference. This is the case with the perfect aspect, which indicates that an event occurred prior to (but has continuing relevance at) the time of reference: \"\"I have eaten\"\"; \"\"I had eaten\"\"; \"\"I will have eaten\"\". [ 2]Different languages make different grammatical aspectual distinctions; some (such as Standard German; see below) do not make any.

To have complete access to the thousands of philosophy articles on this site, please SUBSCRIBE NOWSimone de Beauvoir The Ethics of Ambiguity Charlotte Moore freely subjects de Beauvoir’s ethics to a discerning scrutiny. In her 1947 book The Ethics of Ambiguity, Simone de Beauvoir outlines an existentialist ethics. She was inspired by Jean-Paul Sartre ’s promise to do so at the end of Being and Nothingness (1943); a project for which he wrote many notes but which he never completed. The Ethics of Ambiguity is one of de Beauvoir’s most intriguing and original philosophical works. But is the theory it contains defensible? And does it give us practical guidance for how to live our lives? In The Bonds of Freedom ( BF ), a careful analysis of de Beauvoir’s ethics, Kristana Arp asks whether de Beauvoir’s ethics of ambiguity is actually a form of ethical subjectivism. Arp examines a set of possible existentialist ethical perspectives, particularly those that deal with freedom and values, to try to tell whether or not they can be undermined by this charge."

"text": "\"What Does Objectivism Consider to be Art (Aesthetics)? March 25, 2010 William Thomas Culture Philosophy Art and Literature Objectivism (Picutred above: Arch Cape, Oregon Coast, by Tom Wheeler )Question: What does Objectivism consider to be art? Answer: \"\"Art is a selective re-creation of reality according to an artist's metaphysical value judgments. Man's profound need of art lies in the fact that his cognitive faculty is conceptual, i.e., that he acquires knowledge by means of abstractions, and needs the power to bring his widest metaphysical abstractions into his immediate, perceptual awareness. Art fulfills this need: by means of a selective re-creation, it concretizes man's fundamental view of himself and of existence. It tells man, in effect, which aspects of his experience are to be regarded as essential, significant, important.\"\" ( Ayn Rand , \"\"Art and Cognition,\"\" The Romantic Manifesto, p. 45)Just as language is distinctively human, so is art. Every human society has imagined and recreated its world in stories and music, in pictures and sculpture, and in derivative forms of art such as theater and dance. Many people think art is an indescribable, almost mystical aspect of human existence, that it is a self-contained realm, indefinable except in terms of itself. This has given license to those who want to turn making art into play, who say that art is anything one wants it to be and who reject objective standards for the arts."

"text": "\"Ethics Reading Assignment: Excerpt from Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts Karl Marxwritten between April and August 1844First Manuscript: Estranged Labor. . . . We must avoid repeating the mistake of the political economist, who bases his explanations on some imaginary primordial condition. Such a primordial condition explains nothing. It simply pushes the question into the grey and nebulous distance. It assumes as facts and events what it is supposed to deduce -- namely, the necessary relationships between two things, between, for example, the division of labor and exchange. Similarly, theology explains the origin of evil by the fall of Man -- i.e., it assumes as a fact in the form of history what it should explain. We shall start out from a present-day economic fact. The worker becomes poorer the more wealth he produces, the more his production increases in power and extent. The worker becomes an ever cheaper commodity the more commodities he produces. The devaluation of the human world grows in direct proportion to the increase in value of the world of things."

Marx, however, does not refer to human nature as such, but to Gattungswesen, which is generally translated as 'species-being' or 'species-essence'. According to a note from the young Marx in the Manuscripts of 1844, the term is derived from Ludwig Feuerbach ’s philosophy, in which it refers both to the nature of each human and of humanity as a whole. [ 1]However, in the sixth Theses on Feuerbach (1845), Marx criticizes the traditional conception of human nature as a species which incarnates itself in each individual, instead arguing that the conception of human nature is formed by the totality of social relations. Thus, the whole of human nature is not understood, as in classical idealist philosophy, as permanent and universal: the species-being is always determined in a specific social and historical formation, with some aspects being biological.

Contrast this with working with others in a team, in friendship and consensus. The former is inter-individual action; the latter is more truly social. I would like to suggest that we experience the social aspect intuitively as we, us and them; associating, agreeing and appointing. Does not associating imply treating others as like ourselves, submerging our individuality into the social group, and allowing it to impose structures and constraints on us?

For school exams, you won't be studying cereal packets, however (but make sure that you do have that extra Weetabix on the day of the exam!). Unlike the imagined characters and situations created for fictional texts, non-fiction texts are based on the real world. This doesn't make them necessarily factual or true, however. Writers of non-fiction are often out to persuade their reader, so you need to be aware that the information they provide, as truthful as it might be made to seem, is selected and presented to be convincing rather than factual. While non-fiction is based on reality, there are some key ways in which it overlaps with fiction. Fiction texts are very absorbing emotionally, and non-fiction writers keen to make their texts more persuasive often borrow fictional techniques to make their non-fiction texts more convincing. Fiction often borrows from non-fiction to help create a sense of realism and believability."

"text": "\"Encyclopedia > Definition of philosophy Article Content Philosophy Redirected from Definition of philosophy The question of how to define philosophy is one that is philosophical in its own right. For the purpose of introducing the concept, we can say that it is the study of the meaning and justification of beliefs about the most general, or universal, aspects of things – a study which is carried out, not by experimentation or careful observation, but instead typically by formulating problems carefully, offering solutions to them, giving arguments for the solutions, and engaging in the dialectic about all of the above. Philosophy studies such concepts as existence, goodness, knowledge, and beauty. It asks questions such as \"\"What is goodness, in general?\"\" and \"\"Is knowledge even possible?\"\". In general terms philosophy is the critical, speculative or analytical study of the exterior or interior in addition to reflective study on the method of studying such topics. Members of many societies around the world have considered these same questions, and built philosophic traditions based upon each other's works. Philosophy may be broadly divided into various realms based loosely on geography. The term \"\"philosophy\"\" alone in a Euro-American academic context usually refers to the philosophic traditions of Western civilization, sometimes also called Western philosophy. The Western philosophic tradition began with the Greeks and continues to the present day."

For instance, ⟨ p ⟩ represents the voiceless bilabial stop, and ⟨ pʰ ⟩ represents the aspirated bilabial stop. Voiced consonants are seldom actually aspirated. Symbols for voiced consonants followed by ⟨ ◌ʰ ⟩, such as ⟨ bʰ ⟩, typically represent consonants with murmured voiced release (see below ).

In general, however, the regional dialects of English share a largely similar (but not identical) phonological system. Among other things, most dialects have vowel reduction in unstressed syllables and a complex set of phonological features that distinguish fortis and lenis consonants ( stops, affricates, and fricatives ). Most dialects of English preserve the consonant /w/ (spelled ⟨w⟩) and many preserve /θ, ð/ (spelled ⟨th⟩), while most other Germanic languages have shifted them to /v/ and /t, d/: compare English will/ w ɪ l / ( listen) and then / ð ɛ n / ( listen) with German will [vɪl] ( listen) ('want') and denn [dɛn] ( listen) ('because'). Phonological analysis of English often concentrates on or uses, as a reference point, one or more of the prestige or standard accents, such as Received Pronunciation for England, General American for the United States, and General Australian for Australia. Nevertheless, many other dialects of English are spoken, which have developed independently from these standardized accents, particularly regional dialects. Information about these standardized accents functions only as a limited guide to all of English phonology, which one can later expand upon once one becomes more familiar with some of the many other dialects of English that are spoken.

The script is used for other languages like Maithili, Meithei and Bishnupriya Manipuri, and has historically been used to write Sanskrit within Bengal. From a classificatory point of view, the Bengali script is an abugida, i.e. its vowel graphemes are mainly realised not as independent letters, but as diacritics attached to its consonant letters. It is written from left to right and lacks distinct letter cases. It is recognisable, as are other Brahmic scripts, by a distinctive horizontal line running along the tops of the letters that links them together which is known as মাত্রা matra."

"text": "The differences between English and Italian Introduction: Italian belongs to the Romance family, which in turn is part of the large Indo-European language family. It therefore shares many features with other Romance languages such as French or Spanish. Native-Italian learners of English, a stress-timed language, face similar kinds of problems to those faced by native speakers of the other Romance languages, which are syllable-timed. Alphabet: Italian words are made up of the same 26 letters as employed by English, although the letters j, k, w, x and y are considered foreign and are only used in import words. Italian learners may misspell dictated words containing the English letters r and e, which sound like Italian letters a and i. Some words that are capitalized in English (days, months, languages, etc) are not capitalized in Italian. Phonology: Italian learners typically have problems with the vowel differences in minimal pairs such as sheep / sheet bet / mat cot / coat, The tendency to 'swallow' weak vowels in English causes difficulties both in listening comprehension and in the production of natural-sounding speech. The pronunciation of consonants include the predictable difficulties with words containing the letters th: (thin, this, other, lengths, etc). Also problematic is the failure to aspirate the h in words such as house, hill, hotel (or to hyper-correct by adding an aspirated h to all words beginning with a vowel.) Most Italian words end with a vowel, which often leads Italian learners to affix a short vowel sound to in English ending with a consonant. This, together with temptation to give full value or emphasis to all syllables, results in the stereotypical Italian production of sentences that sound like: I at ə soup ə for lunch ə."

"text": "\"The Chinese Language Introduction Guide to Pronouncing Romanized Chinese (Wade-Giles and Pinyin)Reading: The Chinese Language Introduction The goal of this unit is not to teach Chinese per se, but to create an appreciation for one of the world's oldest surviving languages and to encourage students to see a connection between language and culture. Students may ask what their names are in Chinese, but there are not direct translations. English names are transliterated into Chinese, i.e., given Chinese names that sound like English names but may mean something very different. Pronunciations of foreign names are often meaningless in Chinese!Since Chinese uses characters rather than an alphabet, many different systems of romanization have been developed over the years to help Americans and Europeans learn to pronounce the Chinese characters. Until the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the Wade-Giles system had been the predominant system, and it is still used as the official romanization system in Taiwan. In their attempts to simplify the Chinese language and to increase literacy among the Chinese people, the PRC developed a new system, known as the pinyin system. This system is now used by U. S. newspapers and many book publishers. Following are a few tricks to pronouncing Chinese words which are romanized using pinyin: The letter is pronounced as... Some examplesc ts, as in \"\"its\"\" cai (pronounced \"\"ts-eye\"\"; n. vegetable)q ch, as in \"\"check\"\" Qing Dynasty is pronounced \"\"Ching\"\" Dynastyx sh, as in \"\"she\"\" Deng Xiaoping is pronounced \"\"Deng Shiaoping\"\"zh \"\"j\"\"Zhou Enlai is pronounced \"\"Joe Enlai\"\"; Zhou Dynasty is pronounced \"\"Joe Dynasty\"\"All other sounds can be pronounced as they are written.| back to top |Guide to Pronouncing Romanized Chinese (Wade-Giles and Pinyin)Wade-Giles Pinyin Pronunciation in Englishch' (aspirated) q ch (The name of Mao's widow is written \"\"Chiang Ch'ing\"\" in Wade-Giles, \"\"Jiang Qing\"\" in Pinyin, and would be pronounced \"\"Jiang Ching. \"\") ch (unaspirated) j or zh j (\"\"Chou Enlai\"\" in Wade-Giles is spelled \"\"Zhou Enlai\"\" in Pinyin and would be pronounced \"\"Joe Unlie. \"\") k' (aspirated) g k (\"\"Hua Kuofeng\"\" in Wade-Giles has become \"\"Hua Guofeng\"\" in Pinyin)k (unaspirated) g gp' (aspirated) p pp (unaspirated) b b (The capital of Taiwan is no longer written Taipei but Taibei. )"

The pronunciation of Ancient Greek is not known from direct observation, but determined from other types of evidence. Some details regarding the pronunciation of Attic Greek and other Ancient Greek dialects are unknown, but it is generally agreed that Attic Greek had certain features not present in English or Modern Greek, such as a three-way distinction between voiced, voiceless, and aspirated stops (such as /b p pʰ/, as in English \"\"bot, spot, pot\"\"); a distinction between single and double consonants and short and long vowels in most positions in a word; and a word accent that involved pitch.

The beginning As we've seen, languages differ with respect to what is contrastive: all languages treat some distinctions as significant and others as non-significant. In English the difference between [ɪ] and [i] matters — it distinguishes words from one another — but in Spanish it doesn't. In Amharic the difference between [k] and [k'] matters; in English it doesn't. When an infant is born, it is capable of learning any human language. How could it figure out which distinctions are contrastive and which aren't? Obviously the only information the infant gets to help it is the language that it hears being spoken around it. If it is to figure out which distinctions matter, it has to be able to hear those distinctions. So for example, it has to be able to hear the difference between [i] and [ɪ] or the difference between [k] and [k']. In fact experiments with very young infants indicate that they can perceive all of the distinctions that matter in the world's languages. This is quite impressive since, as we'll see, they tend to lose the ability to hear many of these distinctions later on."

"text": "\"grand jury (redirected from Federal grand jury) Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Acronyms, Encyclopedia . Grand Jury A panel of citizens that is convened by a court to decide whether it is appropriate for thegovernment to indict (proceed with a prosecution against) someone suspected of a crime. An American institution since the colonial days, the grand jury has long played an important role in Criminal Law. The Fifth Amendment to the U. S. Constitution says that a person suspected of a federal crime cannot be tried until a grand jury has determined that there is enough reason to chargethe person. Review by a grand jury is meant to protect suspects from inappropriate prosecution by the government, since grand jurors are drawn from the general population. It has been criticized at times as failing to serve its purpose. The grand jury system originated in twelfth-century England, when King henry ii enacted the Assize of Clarendon in order to take control of the courts from the Catholic Church and local nobility. Theproclamation said that a person could not be tried as a criminal unless a certain number of localcitizens appeared in court to accuse him or her of specific crimes. This group of citizens, known as the grand assize, was very powerful: it had the authority to identify suspects, present evidencepersonally held by individual jurors, and determine whether to make an accusation. Trial was by ordeal, so accusation meant that conviction was very likely. ("

"text": "September 18, 2012What it Means to be Indicted for Theft & Larceny Crimes by a Grand Jury in New York By Jeremy Saland Arrests in New York for theft crimes such as Grand Larceny, Scheme to Defraud, Criminal Possession of Stolen Property and Criminal Tax Fraud are bad enough. However, New York Grand Larceny lawyers and theft attorneys have greater concerns well beyond an arrest. Certainly, an arrest for Grand Larceny in the Third Degree ( New York Penal Law 155.35) or Criminal Possession of Stolen Property in the Second Degree ( New York Penal Law 165.52) is far from enviable and is absolutely terrifying for the accused and his or her family, but an indictment takes these concerns to a much higher level. Without any context, the mere assertion that an indictment is more concerning than the initial arrest is often lost on an accused. However, if you take little away from this blog entry remember that an indictment is something that an accused should always seek to avoid. This blog entry will briefly address what it practically means to be indicted on a New York larceny crime while supplying some basic information about New York Grand Juries. Working conversely from the paragraph above, before one deals with indictments in New York State, once must first deal with the Grand Jury. In non legal terms, a New York Grand Jury is made up of roughly a couple dozen people. These individuals sit for a term or period of time where they hear multiple cases. In the Grand Jury room a prosecutor asks direct questions of a witness about a particular crime."

On June 8, 1789, Representative James Madison introduced nine amendments to the Constitution in the House of Representatives. [ 2] Among his recommendations Madison proposed opening up the Constitution and inserting specific rights limiting the power of Congress in Article One, Section 9. Seven of these limitations would become part of the ten ratified Bill of Rights amendments. Ultimately, on September 25, 1789, Congress approved twelve articles of amendment to the Constitution, each consisting of one one-sentence paragraph, and submitted them to the states for ratification. Contrary to Madison's original proposal that the articles be incorporated into the main body of the Constitution, they were proposed as supplemental additions (codicils) to it. Articles Three through Twelve were ratified as additions to the Constitution on December 15, 1791, and became Amendments One through Ten of the Constitution."

"text": "\"jury Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Medical, Idioms, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia. Related to jury: jury duty, Jury nullification, hung jury, Jury selection Jury In trials, a group of people who are selected and sworn to inquire into matters of fact and to reach a verdict on the basis of the evidence presented to them. In U. S. law, decisions in many civil and criminal trials are made by a jury. Considerable power is vested in this traditional body of ordinary men and women, who are charged with deciding matters of fact and delivering a verdict of guilt or innocence based on the evidence in a case. Derived from itshistorical counterpart in English Common Law, trial by jury has had a central role in U. S.courtrooms since the colonial era, and it is firmly established as a basic guarantee in the U. S. Constitution. Modern juries are the result of a long series of U. S. Supreme Court decisions that haveinterpreted this constitutional liberty and, in significant ways, extended it. History The historical roots of the jury date to the eighth century a.d. Long before becoming an impartialbody, during the reign of Charlemagne, juries interrogated prisoners. In the twelfth century, the Normans brought the jury to England, where its accusatory function remained: Citizens acting as jurors were required to come forward as witnesses and to give evidence before the monarch'sjudges. Not until the fourteenth century did jurors cease to be witnesses and begin to assume theirmodern role as triers of fact."

It explains some of the terms that grand jurors will encounter during their service and offers some suggestions helpful to them in performing this important public service. It is intended that this Handbook will, to a degree, repeat and provide a permanent record of much of the information presented in the grand jury orientation film, The People's Panel, which in most districts is shown to grand jurors at the commencement of their service. Grand jurors are encouraged to refer to this Handbook periodically throughout their service to reacquaint themselves with their duties and responsibilities. This Handbook is designed as an aid only to persons serving on a federal - not a state -grand jury. The federal grand jury is concerned only with federal crimes; it derives its authority from the Constitution of the United States, national laws, and the rules of the federal courts. There are also grand juries impaneled in many of the states, but those grand juries investigate only state crimes; they derive their authority from the constitutions, laws, and rules of court of the states where they are impaneled. Back To Top Origins and History of the Grand Jury The grand jury has a long and honorable tradition. It was recognized in the Magna Carta, the first English constitutional document, which King John granted in 1215 at the demand of his subjects. The first English grand jury consisted of twelve men selected from the knights or other freemen, who were summoned to inquire into crimes alleged to have been committed in their local community."

"text": "Home | Grand Jury Info | Frequently Asked Questions Search What is a Grand Jury? A grand jury consists of twelve people whose job is to review criminal complaints and decide if there is sufficient evidence to issue an indictment. The standard of proof for an indictment is probable cause. Who can serve on a Grand Jury? A person can serve on a grand jury in Harris County if he or she:ü is a citizen of Harris County, Texas, and qualified to vote in Harris County;ü is of sound mind and good moral character;ü is able to read and write;ü has never been convicted of misdemeanor theft or any felony;ü is not under indictment or other legal accusation for misdemeanor theft or any felony;ü is not on probation for misdemeanor theft or any felony;ü has not served as a grand juror in the last year;ü is not related within the third degree of consanguinity or second degree of affinity to any person selected to serve or serving on the same grand jury;ü is not a complainant in any matter to be heard by the grand jury during the term of court for which he has been selected as a grand juror. How is a grand jury selected? Prospective grand jurors will be selected and summoned in the same manner as for the selection of panels for trial cases in the district courts. From among those prospective grand jurors who are summoned, the court impanels twelve (12) grand jurors and four (4) alternate grand jurors to serve. The law requires courts to impanel grand jurors who are “randomly selected from a fair cross section of the population of the area served by the court. ”This means that even if the court summons you, you may or may not be selected to serve."

It is a list of rights guaranteed to the American people that the government is not allowed to infringe upon. The First Ten Amendments were added to the Constitution at the direction of the very first Congress in 1789, though they were not official law until 1791. They were added because many people believed the Constitution did not adequately protect them from the government's power. James Madison led the fight to add the amendments in order to gain much wider support for the Constitution itself. Congress actually voted to have twelve amendments, but only ten were passed by the states. The Constitution requires that 3/4 of the state legislatures must accept an amendment for any change to be made to the Constitution. What do the First Ten Amendments actually say? What rights are protected by them? The following section gives you a brief overview of what is in each amendment with a link you can click on for more in depth information."

They receive a yearly salary of $189,041, up from $184,610 in 2014. They’re offered a city vehicle when they take office, and more for their staff.

Councilman Felipe Fuentes, 44, decided to walk away anyway, announcing Friday that he will not run for reelection next year — or any other office. That means he will conclude his career as a city elected official after a single four-year term, a move that’s astonishingly rare for City Hall.

Thomas appealed the lower court's decision that Kane had absolute immunity from libel and slander claims afforded by her elected position. The court will consider whether absolute immunity can be a defense when the claim arises out of the state official's scope of authority and employment, in part because Thomas sued Kane in her \"\"personal capacity\"\" and not as a public official. Thomas's right to \"\"a name-clearing hearing against a state official in her personal capacity only\"\" under the Pennsylvania Constitution will also be determined.

[ 2] Among his recommendations Madison proposed opening up the Constitution and inserting specific rights limiting the power of Congress in Article One, Section 9. Seven of these limitations would become part of the ten ratified Bill of Rights amendments. Ultimately, on September 25, 1789, Congress approved twelve articles of amendment to the Constitution, each consisting of one one-sentence paragraph, and submitted them to the states for ratification. Contrary to Madison's original proposal that the articles be incorporated into the main body of the Constitution, they were proposed as supplemental additions (codicils) to it. Articles Three through Twelve were ratified as additions to the Constitution on December 15, 1791, and became Amendments One through Ten of the Constitution."

That year, several city street improvement projects diverted streams, which caused soil to build up in front of Barron's wharf. By 1822, no ships could tie up at the wharf and John Barron was out of business. Barron went to a state court and sued the city of Baltimore for destroying his wharf business. According to the Fifth Amendment of the Bill of Rights, Barron argued, private property could not be taken or reduced in value for public use without \"\"just compensation.\"\" The case finally ended up before the U. S. Supreme Court. Writing for the majority of the Supreme Court, Chief Justice John Marshall dismissed Barron's lawsuit on the grounds that the Fifth Amendment, as well as all the amendments of the Bill of Rights, applied only to the national government and not to the states. [ Barron v. Baltimore, 7 Peters 243 (1833)]The Barron decision established the principle that the rights listed in the original Bill of Rights did not control state laws or actions. A state could abolish freedom of speech, establish a tax-supported church, or do away with jury trials in state courts without violating the Bill of Rights. The Due Process Clause In the first Congress in 1789, Congressman James Madison had submitted proposed amendments for the Bill of Rights."

The grand jury does not determine guilt or innocence, but only whether there is probable cause to believe that a crime was committed and that a specific person or persons committed it.

"text": "There are a multitude of financial ratios used by investors to gauge the health of a company. Some measure cash flow and profitability, while others are used to determine the health of a company's balance sheet. The equity-to-asset ratio is one of the latter measurements, and is used to assess a company's financial leverage. Of equity and assets The balance sheet gets its name because it is the balance between assets and liabilities plus equity. The asset side measures all the resources holding economic value that can be converted to cash. These could include, but are not limited to, real estate, equipment, inventory, raw materials, and cash. Equity, on the other hand, is the difference between the value of a company's assets and all of its liabilities. A simple example would be the equity value of one's home, which is the value of the property minus the mortgage balance. In other words, equity is what would be left over after the asset is sold. In a sense, the equity-to-asset ratio is just a simplified way to look at a balance sheet and to distill it down to answer one question: What percentage of a company's assets do investors own?"

"text": "\"During the dotcom era, there were predictions of the Dow Jones Index soaring to 30,000. But this was a time when the market lost itself to the hype. When investors, along with their valuations, come back down to earth from such heights, there can be a loud thump, reminding everyone that it's time to get back to fundamentals and take a look at a key aspect of share valuations: the weighted average cost of capital (WACC). Understanding WACC The capital funding of a company is made up of two components: debt and equity. Lenders and equity holders each expect a certain return on the funds or capital they have provided. The cost of capital is the expected return to equity owners (or shareholders) and to debtholders, so WACC tells us the return that both stakeholders - equity owners and lenders - can expect. WACC, in other words, represents the investor's opportunity cost of taking on the risk of putting money into a company. To understand WACC, think of a company as a bag of money. The money in the bag comes from two sources: debt and equity. Money from business operations is not a third source because, after paying for debt, any cash left over that is not returned to shareholders in the form of dividends is kept in the bag on behalf of shareholders."

"text": "Financial Statement Analysis Analysis can be made in many ways. Financial Ratios can be used to understand and measure how well a company is doing in an area. Ratios can be used to compare one company against another, or one time period against another. Common size statements are used to compare different companies, as each line item is expressed as a ratio of another, and therefore can be used for accurate comparison against different sized companies. Trend analysis is helpful to understand the change in a company’s financial statements from one period to another. Liquidity Ratios The Current Ratio is used to test the company's ability to pay its short term obligations. Below 1 means the company does not have sufficient incoming cash flow to meet its obligations over the coming year. The Quick Ratio is an indicator of a company's short-term liquidity. The quick ratio measures a company's ability to meet its short-term obligations with its most liquid assets. The higher the quick ratio, the better the position of the company."

Efficiency ratios No matter what kind of business a company is in, it must invest in assets to perform its operations. Efficiency ratios measure how effectively the company utilizes these assets, as well as how well it manages its liabilities. Liquidity Ratios In a nutshell, a company's liquidity is its ability to meet its near-term obligations, and it is a major measure of financial health. Liquidity can be measured through several ratios. Leverage Ratios A company's leverage relates to how much debt it has on its balance sheet, and it is another measure of financial health. Generally, the more debt a company has, the riskier its stock is, since debtholders have first claim to a company's assets. This is important because, in extreme cases, if a company becomes bankrupt, there may be nothing left over for its stockholders after the company has satisfied its debtholders."

This rate represents the cost of the amount borrowed over the term of the loan. Any additional costs or fees that are associated with this loan will be included in the APR. At first glance, credit card agreements and loan terms can be confusing. There can be a variance in transaction fees, interest rate structure, and penalties. The APR is a standardized calculation that gives the borrower that absolute bottom line amount for which they are responsible. This information can then be used to compare rates and find the best options with potential lenders. Credit card companies and lenders are required by law to disclose the APR to customers, and give clear detail on the actual rates applied to their agreements. You will often see credit card companies advertising low monthly interest rates, but they must also disclose the APR (example: 1.9% per month over 12 months = 22.8% APR) before any agreements are signed."

Financial Statements: The System Financial Statements: Cash Flow Financial Statements: Earnings Financial Statements: Revenue Financial Statements: Working Capital Financial Statements: Long-Lived Assets Financial Statements: Long-Term Liabilities Financial Statements: Pension Plans Financial Statements: Conclusion By David Harper ( Contact David) Long-term liabilities are company obligations that extend beyond the current year, or alternately, beyond the current operating cycle. Most commonly, these include long-term debt such as company-issued bonds. Here we look at how debt compares to equity as a part of a company's capital structure, and how to examine the way in which a company uses debt. The following long-term liabilities are typically found on the balance sheet: You can see that we describe long-term liabilities as either operating or financing. Operating liabilities are obligations created in the course of ordinary business operations, but they are not created by the company raising cash from investors. Financing liabilities are debt instruments that are the result of the company raising cash. In other words, the company issued debt - often in a prior period - in exchange for cash and must repay the principal plus interest. Operating and financing liabilities are similar in that they both will require future cash outlays by the company. It is useful to keep them separate in your mind, however, because financing liabilities are triggered by a company's deliberate funding decisions and, therefore, will often offer clues about a company's future prospects."

"text": "AAII Journal > December 2012Read Comments (5)Breaking Down ROE Using the Du Pont Formulaby Joe Lan, CFAReturn on equity (ROE) is a commonly used profitability ratio that measures the effectiveness of management in generating earnings for shareholders. Return on equity measures net income less preferred dividends against total stockholder’s equity. The three primary drivers of ROE are better sales (or turnover), greater margins and higher debt levels, each of which can lead to a higher ROE. Although return on equity is a useful tool, it does not tell you what factors are helping or hurting the company’s performance. The Du Pont formula addresses this concern by breaking down ROE and allowing investors to see which characteristics are driving ROE. Analysis of the Du Pont formula allows you to determine whether management is generating value for shareholders effectively. Return on Equity Return on equity measures the level of income attributed to shareholders against the investment that shareholders put into the firm. In other words, it measures how efficiently a company is able to generate profits using shareholder’s equity, which includes stock offerings and retained earnings. There are different ways to calculate ROE. The denominator of the equation, total shareholder’s equity, can simply be the shareholder’s equity at the end of the period, which is found on the balance sheet."

"text": "\"Home » Managing Your Money Equity-to-Assets Ratiosby David Carnes; Updated April 19, 2017The equity-to-assets ratio is one of many financial ratios used to determine the financial health and long-term profitability of a corporation. It is often used by investors to determine whether the corporation's shares are a safe investment. Though important, the equity-to-assets ratio should be used only with other financial ratios to determine a corporation's overall financial health. Equity vs. Assets Equity represents the total current value of the money invested in the corporation by all of its shareholders -- the cumulative value of all of its shares, in other words -- plus any retained earnings generated by its operations. A corporation can increase its equity by turning a profit or by issuing new shares. It can decrease it by buying back its own shares, buying assets or operating at a net loss. Assets represent the entire value of the corporation, such as its equity, its inventory, its accounts receivable and any revenue generated from loans. The Ratio The equity-to-assets ratio is the value of the corporation's equity divided by the value of its assets. A high ratio means that the corporation is mostly owned by its shareholders, while a low ratio means that the corporation is likely burdened with high debts. An equity-to-assets ratio of below 0.70 generally makes it difficult for a corporation to borrow money, due to concerns about its solvency."

Even if you decide to get your financial ratios from your broker or financial site, you still need to know what they represent and what they will tell you about the business in which you would like to invest. Otherwise, you may make a mistake and buy into a company with too much debt, not enough cash to survive, or low profitability. This guide to financial ratios will explain how to calculate the most important financial ratios, and, more importantly, what they mean.01 Guide to Financial Statements You can't calculate financial ratios without the financial statements! This guide to financial statements provides step-by-step instructions for how to read a balance sheet, income statement, and other important accounting documents.02 The 5 Categories of Financial Ratios All financial ratios are divided into one of five categories. By learning each of these five categories, you'll know which financial ratio calculation is needed when you begin working through a company's financial statements.03 Price to Cash Flow Ratio Some investors prefer to focus on a financial ratio known the \"\"price to cash flow ratio\"\" instead of the more famous \"\"price-to-earnings ratio\"\" (or p/e ratio for short). Sit back, relax, and grab a cup of coffee because you're about to learn everything you ever wanted to know about this often overlooked stock valuation tool.04 Price to Earnings Ratio - The P/E Ratio The price to earnings ratio, also known as the p/e ratio, is probably the most famous financial ratio in the world. It is used as a quick and dirty way to determine how \"\"cheap\"\" or \"\"expensive\"\" the stock is. The best way to think of it is how much you are willing to pay for every $1 in earnings a company generates. Learn how to calculate it, and much more.05 The PEG Ratio While the price to earnings ratio (or p/e ratio for short) is the most popular way to measure the relative valuation of two stocks, the PEG ratio goes one step further."

Accounts payable is a liabilities account, representing all such payables due for payment in the near term. Does the firm manage its accounts payable obligations effectively? Financial metrics such as Accounts Payable Turnover provide an answer. What Is An Account Payable? An account payable is a liability for an amount owed to a creditor, usually for purchase of goods or services. Consider a buyer who makes a purchase and takes delivery of the goods, but does not pay the seller immediately. The seller is therefore selling \"\"on credit.\"\" As a result, buyer and seller now have a creditor-debtor relationship. And, the relationship lasts until the buyer actually pays."

Current Ratio interpretation Current Ratio is a liquidity ratio that measures company's ability to pay its debt over the next 12 months or its business cycle. Current Ratio formula is: Current ratio is a financial ratio that measures whether or not a company has enough resources to pay its debt over the next business cycle (usually 12 months) by comparing firm's current assets to its current liabilities. Acceptable current ratio values vary from industry to industry. Generally, a current ratio of 2:1 is considered to be acceptable. The higher the current ratio is, the more capable the company is to pay its obligations. Current ratio is also affected by seasonality. If current ratio is bellow 1 (current liabilities exceed current assets), then the company may have problems paying its bills on time. However, low values do not indicate a critical problem but should concern the management. One exception to the rule is considered fast-food industry because the inventory turns over much more rapidly than the accounts payable becoming due."

"text": "\"Related Terms: Annual Report A balance sheet is a financial report that provides a snapshot of a business's position at a given point in time, including its assets (economic resources), its liabilities (debts or obligations), and its total or net worth (assets less liabilities). \"\" A balance sheet does not aim to depict ongoing company activities,\"\" wrote Joseph Peter Simini in Balance Sheet Basics for Nonfinancial Managers. \"\" It is not a movie but a freeze-frame. Its purpose is to depict the dollar value of various components of a business at a moment in time.\"\" Balance sheets are also sometimes referred to as statements of financial position or statements of financial condition. Balance sheets are typically presented in two different forms. In the report form, asset accounts are listed first, with the liability and owners' equity accounts listed in sequential order directly below the assets. In the account form, the balance sheet is organized in a horizontal manner, with the asset accounts listed on the left side and the liabilities and owners' equity accounts listed on the right side. The term \"\"balance sheet\"\" originates from this latter form: when the left and right sides have been completed, they should sum to the same dollar amounts—in other words, they should balance. CONTENTS OF THE BALANCE SHEETMost of the contents of a business's balance sheet are classified under one of three categories: assets, liabilities, and owner equity."

( Learn more about investing in Hate Dealing With Money? Invest Without Stress and Investment Options For Any Income .) Here's a very simple example: let's say you require a rate of return of 10% on an investment in TSJ Sports. The stock is currently trading at $10 and will pay a dividend of $0.30. Through a combination of dividends and share appreciation you require a $1.00 return on your $10.00 investment. Therefore the stock will have to appreciate by $0.70, which, combined with the $0.30 from dividends, gives you your 10% cost of equity. A company that earns a return on equity in excess of its cost of equity capital has added value. ( For more on ROE, read Keep Your Eyes On The ROE .)"

What are the ratios used by analysts to determine whether a stock is undervalued or overvalued? How valid is the discounted present value approach? How can one value a company as a going concern, and how does this change in the context of a potential acquisition, or when the company faces financial stress? Finding a value for a company is no easy task -- but doing so is an essential component of effective management. The reason: it's easy to destroy value with ill-judged acquisitions, investments or financing methods. This article will take readers through the process of valuing a company, starting with simple financial statements and the use of ratios, and going on to discounted free cash flow and option-based methods. How a business is valued depends on the purpose, so the most interesting part of implementing these methods will be to see how they work in different contexts -- such as valuing a private company, valuing an acquisition target, and valuing a company in distress. We'll learn how using the tools of valuation analysis can inform management choices."

Gearing is a measurement of the entity’s financial leverage, which demonstrates the degree to which a firm's activities are funded by owner's funds versus creditor's funds. Next Up Leverage Ratio Current Ratio Cash Asset Ratio Activity Ratios BREAKING DOWN 'Gearing Ratio'The best known examples of gearing ratios include the debt-to-equity ratio (total debt / total equity ), times interest earned (EBIT / total interest), equity ratio (equity / assets), and debt ratio (total debt / total assets). Degree of Leverage Higher calculations of a gearing ratio indicate a company has higher degree of leverage and is more susceptible to downturns in the economy and in the business cycle. This is because companies that have higher leverage have higher amounts of debt when compared to owner’s equity. Therefore, entities with high gearing ratio findings have higher amounts of debt to service. Companies with lower gearing ratio calculations have more equity to rely upon as financing is needed. Gearing Ratio Evaluation Gearing ratios are most beneficial to companies when used as a tool for comparison. As a standalone calculation, a gearing ratio may not hold any weight or meaning. For example, a company may have a debt ratio of 0.6."

From that point, another blood test was done apporximately a week later and the AST level went down by over 100. Liver function tests revealed that I did not have a form of hepatitis. Over the past couple of months, I have had liver function tests done periodically and they have dropped slightly each time (last time being by 10 points--to 210, 3 months after the last test). I am doing all of this through my regular doctor and fear that he does not have knowledge of this situation. He is simply waiting for the levels to retrn to normal, however I have read that a drop in AST levels does not mean anything is improving and could mean the opposite. All other liver function tests have been normal. Should I be seeing a liver specialist at this point and is it possible that the AST levels could be representative of a problem nonrelated to my liver? I have had a sharp pain on my lower left side periodically the last few days, though I realize that this probably holds no relation. Any information would be helpful."

Note: IU/L = international units per liter It is raised in acute liver damage. It is also present in red blood cells and cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle, and kidney and brain tissue, and may be elevated due to damage to those sources as well. AST was defined as a biochemical marker for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction in 1954. However the use of AST for such a diagnosis is now redundant and has been superseded by the cardiac troponins. AST (SGOT) is commonly measured clinically as a part of diagnostic liver function tests, to determine liver health. No mention has been made in the medical literature regarding the results lower than the normal.

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."

Aspartate transaminase is an enzyme that is responsible for the creation of glutamate and oxaloacetate. Both of these are inputs that go into a crucial system called the citric acid cycle. This is the cycle where energy is created by the creation of guanine triphosphate and adenosine triphosphate. These are then converted into their diphosphate forms and energy is released. AST is present in nearly all cells, but is available in the liver, heart, and the brain abundantly. While this test was initially used to check for heart disease it is now used to check for only liver inflammation. Reason Why It is Performed The AST test is used when a patient turns up at the doctor’s office with a case of jaundice. One of the first tests that are ordered is a gamma glutamyl transaminase test along with an alanine transaminase test or an alkaline phosphatease test. All of these tests when combined will give a clear indication of liver damage that is caused by acute inflammation."

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.

BACKGROUND- Prior Art-Introduction The diagnosis of infectious diseases has traditionally relied upon microbiological culture methods to identify the organism responsible for the infection and then determine the appropriate antimicrobial treatment. These methods continue to be important for analysis, despite recent advances in molecular and immunological diagnostics. While the development of rapid and automated methods has served to increase the efficiency of microbiological analysis, traditional quantitative culture methods remain critical for definitive diagnosis of infections. ( Baron & Finegold, Diagnostic Microbiology, 8 th ed. C. V. Mosby, [1990], p 253. These traditional methods are even more valuable in countries unable to afford newer methods including automated methods. In addition, many areas of the world are devoid of any adequate clinical microbiology facility. Throughout history, humanity has fallen victim to pandemics of cholera, plague, influenza, typhoid, tuberculosis and other infectious maladies so widespread, that few people made it into middle age. As recently as the 19 th century, the average life span in Europe and North America was around 50 years."

Being informed about the product’s source has become equally as important as understanding how it works. AST Enzymes is a true enzyme manufacturer: one that formulates and creates enzyme supplements, not simply encapsulates and bottles them. At AST Enzymes, we understand that attention to detail is important for making powerful and effective enzyme blends. Caution must be taken when formulating with various ingredients to ensure that blends preserve enzyme activity – that’s where the knowledge of an experienced enzyme company is crucial. Considering the vast array of enzymes that exist and their infinite combinations, including with other ingredients, it takes an expert to know which enzymes work together for the best result. What’s more, we are always looking to ensure that our customers receive the highest quality products with the greatest bioavailability. Here are some distinguishing features that set AST Enzyme products above the rest. Enteric coated Serrapeptase and Nattokinase Certain websites and distributors have claimed that enzymes do not require a p H resistant coating (known as an enteric coating) to be effective systemically. The fact is that all enzymes have a p H range."

I have absorbed so much valuable information by researching countless articles, collaborating with physicians, and speaking with other nurses and practitioners from all parts of medicine. Today, I have my finger right on the burning question: Why is an astonishing 1 in 10 Americans affected by liver, gallbladder, or biliary disease? To answer this important question we need to examine some of the causes of liver disease and elevated liver enzymes.

"text": "Those curious cardiac enzymes15Mayby Carolyn Thomas ♥@Heart Sisters When I showed up in the Emergency Department with textbook heart attack symptoms – chest pain, nausea, sweating, and pain radiating down my left arm – the hospital staff snapped to work and immediately ordered a flurry of tests. These included an EKG, blood tests,chest x-ray and a treadmill stress test. But all test results came back “normal”. I was then told that I was in the “right demographic” for acid reflux before being sent home – less than five hours after the onset of symptoms. I left hospital that morning feeling terribly embarrassed for having made such a fuss over just a little case of indigestion. It was only much later – after finally being correctly diagnosed, taken directly from the E. R. to O. R. and admitted to the cardiac care unit for a myocardial infarction (MI or heart attack) caused by a fully occluded Left Anterior Descending coronary artery –when I learned that my “normal” blood tests may have been “normal” that day because I had been sent home too soon. This is the part of my story where I like to repeat another story – this one told to me by a woman in one of my heart health presentation audiences recently. She described being an E. R. patient herself, and overhearing a conversation between the E. R. physician and the (male) patient lying in the bed next to her, behind the cubicle curtain. She heard the doctor telling the (male) patient:“Your EKG is fine, and your blood tests are fine, too. But we’re going to keep you for observation just to make sure it isn’t your heart."

It seems to be able to improve many blood parameters that could be beneficial to heart disease. At doses of 6-8mg daily, it can decrease the oxidation of LDL cholesterol and prevent it from becoming artherogenic (artery clogging).

Here's a list of foods that can help prevent the growth of skin cancer cells. By adding these skin cancer preventing foods to your eating plan you will not only do you skin a favor, but your entire body will benefit from the antioxidants, anti-cancer nutrients, and health boosting minerals these anti-skin cancer foods contain. Note that this is the second page of a two-page article on foods that help prevent skin cancer. If you missed the first part of the article, click here.#9: Asparagus Rich in glutathione, asparagus is a great skin cancer fighting vegetable. Asparagus is great food for the skin. Research shows that people who include asparagus in their diet have fewer wrinkles than people who do not eat these lovely spears. Asparagus is at the top of the list of foods with the highest concentration of glutathione — a strong antioxidant that has gained the spotlight in recent years. In addition to protecting cells from oxidation, glutathione has been shown to be effective at detoxifying foreign substances including carcinogens and at boosting the immune system by influencing lymphocytes. But not all of asparagus' skin health promoting properties are attributable to glutathione; asparagus is also a good source of beta-carotene and vitamin C.#10: Kale When it comes to the best foods for preventing skin cancer, it is difficult to beat the superfood kale."

RBGH is a synthetic version of natural bovine somatotropin (BST), a hormone produced in cows’ pituitary glands. Monsanto developed the recombinant version from genetically engineered E. coli bacteria and markets it under the brand name “Posilac. ”It’s injected into cows to increase milk production, but it is banned in at least 30 other nations because of its dangers to human health, which include an increased risk for colorectal, prostate, and breast cancer by promoting conversion of normal tissue cells into cancerous ones.

Alzheimer's drugs are often of little to no benefit at all, which underscores the importance of prevention throughout your lifetime. Research repeatedly suggests the best hope for patients lies in prevention through optimal diet, exercise and staying socially and mentally active.

"text": "What is Astaxanthin? Astaxanthin is part of the carotenoid family, an organic pigment found in algae (Haematococcus Pluvialis), bacteria and plants. Carotenoids are what gives flowers, fruits and vegetables their vibrant colors. Carotenoids act as a natural antioxidant for the body and of the 700 antioxidants discovered so far, astaxanthin has proven to be the most powerful. When fighting free radicals, astaxanthin is designed perfectly to protect all parts of the cell. When it acts as an antioxidant, it positions itself across the entire cell membrane, attaching itself to both the exterior, interior and lipid layer, offering entire protection for each cell. This translates to protection on the outside of the cell from free radicals, the inside of the cell where the free radicals are being generated, and also the lipid layer prone to oxidation. Astaxanthin separates itself from most other antioxidants to be the best as it controls multiple free radicals at a time compared to other antioxidants like Vitamin C or Vitamin E that just control just one. Astaxanthin forms an electron cloud around the molecule so when free radicals come by to steal electrons they are absorbed into the cloud and neutralized. Flamingos are born with grey feathers."

Out of the 12 dietary, lifestyle and metabolic risk factors examined in the study, omega-3 fatty acid deficiency ranked as the sixth highest killer of Americans.

The fish oil benefits include decreasing the risk of heart disease and stroke while also helping reduce symptoms of depression, hypertension, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), joint pain, arthritis and chronic skin ailments like eczema.

It's derived from Haematococcus microalgae, which produces astaxanthin as a protective mechanism to shield the fragile algae from harsh ultraviolet (UV) light and other environmental stressors. Astaxanthin's benefits are so numerous, I've written several articles to cover its activities, from radiation protection, to eye, brain, lung 1 and heart health. Other health benefits noted in a scientific review published in Molecular Nutrition and Food Research in 2011 included the prevention and treatment of: 2 \"\"cancers … metabolic syndrome, diabetes, diabetic nephropathy … gastrointestinal diseases, liver diseases … male infertility and Hg Cl₂-induced acute renal failure. \"\" Importantly, astaxanthin is a very potent anti-inflammatory, making it useful for virtually any inflammatory condition, including joint problems such as rheumatoid arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome and tennis elbow. It's also been shown to improve athletic performance, in part by ameliorating exercise-induced fatigue. It has broad versatility 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and exceptional safety, even at extremely high doses.

Admired for their size, grace and beauty, it stands to reason that if we can improve an aspect of their image, our enjoyment will also be rewarded. Such is the case with colour. There are many factors that conspire against koi (and koi keepers) when endeavouring to enhance their colour. Rather than exploring the factors that can negate our colour enhancing activities, it is more productive to concentrate on the most significant factors that will control a koi's colour - and they are: a). The koi's genetic make up (which has coded for the koi's current (and future) skin, colour and pattern characteristics b). The colour enhancers that are stored and expressed in the skin. Genetics Let's just take the colour red as an example. Colour in koi is produced in a similar way to photographs in newspaper where from a distance, a photograph will look detailed, well defined, and clear. Yet under closer examination, particularly through a magnifying glass, the picture consists of thousands of tiny dots of ink, each working together to produce a picture of dark and light areas."

"text": "» Home » Fitness Wellness » Beauty » Skin Care »Astaxanthin Skin Benefits By Holly Brewer | Skin Care | Rating: If you read some sources, then you may have seen claims that astaxanthin is the most powerful natural antioxidant currently recognized. That's a pretty bold claim, and when you look at some of the other potential benefits of astaxanthin then it's no surprise that it's such a hot supplement on the market at the moment. Astaxanthin comes from pink colored animals and that means salmon, lobster, shrimp, crabs and flamingos, and some people have credited the compound with the legendary stamina of the salmon. The reason it is found in these creatures is that it is a carotenoid that belongs to a class of phytochemicals known as terpenes which help to provide pigment – and it's also used as a food coloring in cooking for this reason. Astaxanthin is not only a very powerful antioxidant but also is considered to be very beneficial for endurance and its anti-inflammatory properties. Finally it is also considered a great remedy for arthritis. Here however we are going to look at the benefits of astaxanthin for the skin, and how it can help to prevent the visible signs of aging. It does this by providing the antioxidant properties which enables it to combat free radicals that could otherwise do damage to your skin. How Do the Antioxidant Effects of Astaxanthin Work? Basically astaxanthin is more effective than many other antioxidants at least theoretically because it can access more parts of the cell than other antioxidants getting into the inside and the outside and thereby combating antioxidants wherever they may reach."

Carotenoids act as antioxidants within the body, protecting against cellular damage, the effects of aging, and even some chronic diseases. These beneficial compounds cannot be synthesized by humans or animals, diet is the only way to get them. There are well over 600 known carotenoids, with beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin, lycopene, and astaxanthin being the most common. Why Are Carotenoids Important? As antioxidants, carotenoids are helpful for protecting vision and combating cellular damage. [ 1] Recent studies have also identified carotenoids as paramount supporters for the cardiovascular system and male reproductive health. Lycopene, a carotenoid found in tomatoes (among other fruits and vegetables), has even been linked to keeping the liver, prostate, breast, colon, and lungs healthy. [ 2]5 Health Benefits of Consuming Carotenoids Carotenoids have an immense value for human health, and many people are seeking ways to incorporate these health-brimming compounds into their diet."

"text": "\"Five Best Mineral Sunscreens for Face May 25, 2012Reviewed by Marta27 Comments All of my favorite sunscreen picks are based on the mineral actives, zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. Although titanium dioxide is a photosensitizer, it is used in micronized form is supposed not to penetrate the skin and damage cells. These Five Best sunscreens won’t leave a chalky cast and play well with serums and makeup. However, they are not necessarily your best bet for pool, outdoor sports and beach. Honorable mentions should also go to MD Solar Sciences for creating a mineral sunscreen that is the most cosmetically viable I have come across, Badger and Hydropeptide’s award winning SPF 30 Anti-wrinkle. Suntegrity All Natural Moisturizing Face Protection SPF30 ($45 in the shop). The active is zinc oxide at 20%. The thing I like best about Suntegrity (there is a body version as well for $29 in the TIA shop), is that it has powerful antioxidants such as astaxanthin. This is a potent radical scavenger, but what makes it useful in analyses have shown that astaxanthin is also an efficient absorber of specific ultraviolet sunlight rays that may contribute to skin aging and cancer. It gets an antioxidant boost from red algae and pomegranate."

By: Lisa Gosselin | Wednesday, March 14, 2012Loaded with heart-healthy and brain-boosting omega-3 fats, salmon is among the healthiest, tastiest and most popular fish. However, there are certain types of salmon you should try to stay away from and certain questions you should always ask before buying. Here are 7 tips to help you buy the best salmon. I went to two dinner parties recently and guess what was served at both? Salmon. It made me wonder: is salmon the new steak? If so, great! I LOVE this fish and am perfectly fine with that. My doctor probably is, too: the new U. S. Dietary Guidelines recommend Americans eat two servings of fish a week."

"text": "THE BLOG 02/28/2013 03:29 pm ET Updated Apr 30, 20135 Reasons to Take Astaxanthin Every Day By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Astaxanthin (pronounced “asta-ZAN-thin”) is a naturally-occurring carotenoid found in algae, shrimp, lobster, crab and salmon. Carotenoids are pigment colors that occur in nature and support good health. Beta carotene, for example, is orange. Astaxanthin, dubbed the “king of the carotenoids” is red, and is responsible for turning salmon, crab, lobster and shrimp flesh pink. In the animal kingdom, astaxanthin is found in the highest concentration in the muscles of salmon. Scientists theorize astaxanthin helps provide the endurance these remarkable animals need to swim upstream. For humans, astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant with broad health implications and unlike other antioxidants, such as beta carotene, zeaxanthin, vitamin E, C, D and selenium, astaxanthin never becomes pro-oxidant in the body. [ 23, 24, 25, 26]Astaxanthin has been discussed by Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Joe Mercola and recommended by many health experts, including myself. I take 12 milligrams every morning."

So, I absolutely had to look into it in more detail, and read the studies and reviews completed up to date, as of June 2012, and, most importantly, research how astaxanthin affects glutathione activity. It appears that it is a relatively unknown dietary supplement with potent antioxidant capabilities, and it is rapidly becoming more “famous”. Astaxanthin is a carotenoid and a powerful antioxidant. Our bodies do not synthesize astaxanthin, so it can only be obtained from food or supplementation. Astaxanthin does not convert into vitamin A – good news, because it means that supplementation will not lead to vitamin A overdose and toxicity. Where can this antioxidant be found in nature?"

"text": "Perennial Plants How to Grow and Care for Astilbe Plants By Marie Iannotti Updated 10/03/17Share Pin Email Maria Mosolova/Photodisc/Getty Images All About Growin Astilbe Plants Astilbe plants have long-blooming, plume-like flowers in soft shades of white, pink and red. The flowers are held on tall, stiff stalks, above the airy foliage. Astilbes are one of the easiest perennial flowers to grow, but they give a high return. Virtually pest free, they can light up the shade garden or soften a sunny spot. And they are very low maintenance. Leaves: Astilbe foliage tends to be basal, with deeply toothed leaflets of alternately compound leaves. Flowers: Feathery plumes of flower clusters are born on tall stalks above the foliage. Astilbe flowers come in shades of creamy white, pink, lavender, and red, and stay in bloom several week, slowly fading in color as they dry. There are several species and cultivars within the Astilbe genus, with variety in the flower plumes; some spikier or fluffier than other. Most of the popularly sold Asitlbes are hybrids resulting from crosses between the species."

Mounding plants tend to spread out usually being wider than they are high. These plants fill gaps in the garden, overflow containers and protect the soil as ground covers. Perennials That Attract Butterflies Mounding perennials with blossoms full of nectar bring butterflies and even hummingbirds to the garden. One example of a butterfly-attracting mounding perennial is the “Pineapple Pie” tickseed flower (Coreopsis “Pineapple Pie”), which grows in U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 9 through 11. The mound of green leaves reaches 5 to 7 inches high, spreading 15 to 20 inches wide.

Carl Salsedo, a Ph. D. from the University of Connecticut, calls this type of gardening, \"\"sustainable landscaping.\"\" One example, highlighted in a University of Connecticut publication, is a garden planted in a slight depression to catch storm run-off from roofs and lawns before polluting the water supply, aptly named a rain garden. Choosing plants that are hardy to Connecticut and beneficial to the environment is a good step. Soil Preparation A rain garden isn't necessary to create a \"\"biodiverse\"\" garden for a \"\"resilient ecosystem\"\" as Carl Salsedo, Ph. D., says, but if you want to make one, the University of Connecticut Extension Service offers detailed information about preparing a site for that purpose. In essence, the garden should be dug 6 inches deep and sloped, if needed, so the water won't spill over the edge. The plants grow in the depression of the rain garden. If it's just plants you're looking for, there is a list of plants, compiled by John Alexopoulos of the University of Connecticut, that tolerate being wet until water drains out and also do well when the weather is dry."

Astilbes send up plumes of feathery flowers in pink, peach, red, violet or white in middle or late summer, depending on the variety. Even after blooming, the foliage and flower spikes remain decorative. All sizes are available, from dwarf forms for the front of the border to tall stately varieties. There are few plants which can bring so much color and presence to a shady area. Astilbe is also sometimes called false spirea. Find a location with filtered or partial shade. Although they will tolerate full sun in colder climates, astilbe are generally happiest in partial shade. If possible, find conditions that mimic the astilbe’s natural Asian habitat, where they grow along shaded stream banks. Moist soil is a must, but be sure that the plant's roots will not stand in water during the winter."

"text": "How to Plant a Dog-safe Garden10 Dec, 2014 Dr. Amy Wolff 111,018 Views Share This is the time of year when many people look forward to spending free time outside, enhancing their surroundings with lush plants and flowers. As many pets enjoy being outside in the warm spring and summer months, too, some thought must be given to their safety in the lawn and garden. With a little careful planning, you and your pet can enjoy a safe and relaxing garden environment. Whether you're planning a large garden to feed the family or decorating a small space with hanging baskets and containers, here are a few factors to be considered. Plant Selection Plants and flowers are nature's attention getters. Their fragrance, appearance, and cool shade they create are natural attractants for you and your pet. Curiosity often leads pets to consume the flowers and foliage of ornamental plants, which can produce irritating and sometimes life threatening side effects. When planning your garden, select plants that are non-toxic if touched or consumed. Plants for a Sunny Location If the location of your garden gives you 4 or more hours of direct sunlight a day, you have a long list of annuals and perennials from which to choose. Annuals grow from seed and last one growing season."

"text": "When I began growing hostas, I used the plant’s size to determine where I placed it in my border. I didn’t think about how the hostas interacted with each other or with the annuals and perennials around them. One day, I replaced a green-and-white hosta growing near a yellow daylily with a gold-variegated one. I was amazed by how much the color echo between the gold foliage and the yellow flower improved my design. As easy as hostas are to grow, they can be a bit tricky to work into a design, especially if you want them to be the star attraction. I’ve noticed that a plain, common hosta can look stunning when it is planted among the right plants and an expensive, showy hosta can look disappointing when it clashes with its neighbors. The key to getting the most from your hostas is using the concepts of balance and accent as you weave them into your garden design. Balancing the colors and sizes of your hostas will help them work with the rest of your design. Accenting them with the appropriate companion plants will help them get the attention they deserve. Avoid too many brightly colored hostas One common mistake gardeners make when designing with hostas is to try to create interest with a heavy use of showy gold or variegated hostas."

"text": "\"Home & Garden 11302381Ground rules for planting flowers in Minnesota By Ingrid Sundstrom Star Tribune April 30, 1998 — 11:00pm Text sizeemail Printmore Here's the scoop on popular annuals and perennials If you're thinking of planting perennials, be sure to look for Zone 4 or lower hardiness, i.e. plants that survive average minimum temperatures of -20 to -30 degrees – that's our climate. Most perennials hardy in Zone 4 need some winter protection – primarily mulching; most need quite a bit of sun. There are many varieties of perennials, each with many needs, including temperature conditions, planting requirements, resistance or susceptibility to disease or insect invasions, bloom time, feeding requirements and so forth. Not that these are particularly difficult or picky; once you get most of these perennials in the ground, they'll do just fine. Catalogs from nurseries that offer perennial plants are good study guides, although you may want to look up the same plant in several catalogs to compare data; some catalogs – especially those from nurseries in fairly temperate zones – don't zone plants appropriately. Yes, a Zone 5 plant (able to survive average minimum temperatures of -10 to -20 degrees) might survive Minnesota winters if planted in protected areas and are well-mulched each winter. But you could lose the plant in a very cold winter. For a permanent reference, get a book on perennials (available for $8 to $100) or the perennial plant booklet published by the Minnesota Landscape and Nursery Association from many nurseries for 50 cents and $1. Use these to learn about plants and to help you plan your garden. Try to establish a plan that gives you lighter-colored plants in shady areas, perennial blooms all season (possibly by interplanting groups of early-, mid- and late-blooming flowers), plants of appropriate heights (taller one in back, for instance) and mixed foliage textures (such as the large leaf of a tall canna lily near a stand of baby's breath)."

As part of my linking in with Diana’s Dozen @ Elephant’s Eye, and Gail@Clay and Limestone’s Wildflower Wednesday, I thought I would profile this wonderful plant in my latest Simply the Best post. And with the stunning foliage this plant displays, I am also linking in with Christina@ Creating My Own Garden of the Hesperides and her wonderful Garden Blogger’s Foliage Day on the 22nd. Given the right conditions Goat’s beard can grow 3-6 feet tall and wide in zones 3-7. This deer resistant woodland plant prefers part sun to shade in moist to wet soils, but can be grown in more sun in northern gardens if given ample water. It will not tolerate full sun in southern gardens."

We refer to these are known as deer resistant plants, which for the most part are generally passed by. The more of these you have growing, the less spraying you should have to do. As a general rule of thumb, deer will not be attracted to certain groups of plants:fuzzy leavespungent smellslots of hard, sharp thorns Planting Deer Resistant Plants Does Help Deer in different areas seem to be attracted to different plants. This could be due to a sudden shortage of food caused by bad weather. It could also be caused by the different plants available in the wild the deer are accustomed to eating, which will vary from place to place. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a deer proof garden or landscape without a really tall fence, or an electric fence. Just like any starving creature, if the deer are hungry enough – they will eat anything that isn’t poisonous to them.

Chances are those perennials that delighted you with their glorious color and blooms months earlier are now looking a little ragged. You may be tempted to start hacking them back – but don’t do it just yet. If you leave your coneflowers alone until spring, the birds can feast on the seeds through winter. Photo Credit: Jennifer Manning Bee balm is best cut back in fall because of its tendency to mildew. Photo Credit: Jennifer Manning Prune your daylilies in fall. Photo Credit: Jennifer Manning Butterfly bushes are best pruned in early spring. Photo Credit: Jennifer Manning It’s a good idea to leave some perennials standing until spring. Some bloomers, like coneflowers ( Echinacea) and black-eyed Susans ( Rudbeckia ), provide seeds for birds the winter through. Other perennials, like stonecrop ( Sedum) and ornamental grasses, keep up an attractive show ’til spring, so why cut them down at all?"

Installing barrier plantings with plants that repel slugs would definitely be to your advantage. It has been discovered that the astringent smell of Astrantia foliage is not to their liking.

Gargling with salt water isn’t an old wives tale-it’s about one of the closest to a cures for a sore throat you can get. When our throats hurt, regardless of what causes it, it’s because the cells in the mucous membranes have become swollen and inflamed.

The idea of putting coconut oil on my face (I use this one) seemed like crazy talk, and I thought cleaning your face with coconut oil and using coconut oil as a skin moisturizer was for “those” kind of people. And now, I am totally one of them. The truth is, I used to be a total sucker for step-by-step facial cleansing systems. I figured the more scrubbers, foams, and serums involved—the more beautiful my skin would be. Despite trying a variety of these special (and expensive!) products, I was never truly happy with my skin. My face was always extremely dry, and I had little white bumps that popped up in clusters on my face on a regular basis. Then, one day—common sense hit me.

You can use loose tea leaves (1 1/2 teaspoon per cup) if you'd like, but save the good stuff for hot tea. Step 2: Place the pitcher in the fridge, not out in the sun.

While there is always air conditioning, the pool, or the good old-fashioned fan, there are other options to stay comfortable. What you eat and drink can make a big difference in regulating body temperature and make the difference from feeling hot and bothered to cool and comfortable. On hot, humid days, muscles compete with the skin for blood circulation. When the outside temperature is hot, more blood flows near the skin to help disperse body heat and cool the body down, thus keeping your body’s temperature from rising to dangerous levels. But that can mean less blood reaches muscles, which then causes lethargy. It is imperative to drink plenty of fluids and eat cooling foods to help hydrate your muscles and skin in order to maintain a safe internal body temperature. Instead of focusing on cooling the air around you to cool your body, these foods will help to cool your body temperature from the inside out. Here are some foods that can help: Water-rich Foods On a hot, summer day, the first thing that most people reach for is an icy glass of cold water.

These foods calm pitta by decreasing internal heat, preventing inflammation, balancing the digestive fire, grounding the body, and by absorbing excess liquid and oil. Because pitta is relatively substantive in nature, an appropriate diet is actually a very effective way to support a return to balance. What follows are some specific principles that we hope will empower you in discovering a pitta pacifying diet that works for you. Qualities to Favor and Avoid Pitta is oily, sharp, hot, light, spreading, and liquid, so eating foods that neutralize these qualities—foods that are dry, mild, cooling, grounding, stabilizing, and dense—serve to balance excess pitta.

Thuja is well known and is very popular as a decorative plant. This does not mean that it is in any way less popular in the world of medicines. Thuja has a significant place in herbal and Homeopathic systems of medicine. There is even a medicine simply called thuja in Homeopathy. Thuja can be readily found in parks, domestic gardens, and in most other places where people try to decorate their surroundings with decorative plants. The scientific name of thuja is t huja Occidentalis and it is basically a coniferous tree, while normally not very tall. Crushed thuja leaves emit a pleasant smell which is somewhat like that of crushed Eucalyptus leaves, but sweeter. This smell comes from some of the components of its essential oil, predominantly some variants of thujone.

These are both great things, and we make our fair share of them, but I don't think they're the most interesting tea to come out of India. For a brew that's at once delicate, assertive, and totally unique, you have to go with Darjeeling. What's the deal with Darjeeling, and why is it so highly prized? It's a Chinese tea that grows in India with flavors of French grapes and Himalayan mountain air. It can taste more like wine than other tea. Even if you're not a tea drinker, good Darjeeling is so interesting that it's really worth a try.

Catechin is a powerful, water soluable polyphenol and antioxidant that is easily oxidized. Several thousand types are available in the plant world. As many as two thousand are known to have a flavon structure and are called flavonoids. Catechin is one of them. Research aimed at finding the active compounds in green tea revealed that its protective effects are due chiefly to catechins.

"text": "\"maakenzi/Getty Images Astringency is a tasting term used for wine, tea, and other consumable substances. It refers to the puckery or drying sensation created in the mouth and throat (primarily on the surface of the tongue). A strong astringent taste is often described as \"\"sharp,\"\" and it can leave the mouth (especially the walls of the mouth) feeling rough, raw, or sandpapery. A low to moderate amount of astringency may have a more subtle, even \"\"slippery\"\" feel. The sensation of astringency is one type of mouthfeel, just as the cooling feeling on the tongue and in the throat caused by mint is a mouthfeel. What Causes Astringency? Astringency is caused by tannins, which are naturally occurring in tea, coffee, red wine, and some types of fruit and herbs. Black teas are typically higher in tannins than other tea types , and are thus more astringent. Green teas and other tea types can also be astringent. The physical sensation of astringency is caused when tannins shrink mucous membranes in the mouth and throat."

The \"\"Mighty Oak,\"\" long a symbol of strength (and the emblem on the first flag of the Revolutionary forces during the United States War of Independence), thrives as an ornamental in rich, deep, well-drained, acidic soil in sun or partial shade and may reach well over one hundred feet in height at maturity. In ancient times, the Oak was dedicated to Thor, the Norse god of thunder, and this gave rise to the false belief that an Oak tree could never be struck by lightning. This belief led to the placement of acorn symbols in a home for protection, with acorn-shaped wooden pulls attached to Venetian Blind cords to guard those dwelling within."

A given bar often possesses multiple flavors; one of them, however, usually predominates to determine its profile. Each bar here represents a corresponding flavor-profile based on best-of-the-breed. Flavor development hinges on a combination of factors fusing together: a) plant genetics (over 750 compounds assigned to 17 distinct chemical classes have been identified in cocoa); b) locale or terra (climate, soil, surrounding flora growing in the same root system, etc. ); & c) post-harvest processing (fermentation, drying, roasting, conching, et. al.). A cacáo seed / bean contains hundreds, perhaps over a thousand chemical compounds, several of which are primary ‘flavor flags’ or ‘flavor pre-cursors’ transformed thru –1.

The earliest water-based lubricants were cellulose ether or glycerin solutions. Products available today may have various agents added for even dispersal, moisture retention, and resistance to contamination. The viscosity of these products can be altered by adjusting their water content and concentration of cellulose or other gel-forming hydrophilic ingredient. Because water-based personal lubricants absorb into the skin and evaporate, most water-based lubricants have a tendency to dry out during use, but reapplication of the lubricant or application of water or saliva is usually sufficient to reactivate them. When the lubricant eventually dries out, it may leave behind a residue derived from the other ingredients in the formulation. This may require reapplication during sex, and/or removal of the residue with water."

The parts of a woman's body that get thinner as she ages are the ones she wants to stay plump: the skin on her face and the lining of her vagina. Facial skin thins when collagen is lost, and vaginal tissue thins when estrogen decreases. Both cause dryness. Vaginal dryness, known as atrophic vaginitis, is one of the most common and irritating symptoms of menopause. It may cause itching and burning and, in severe cases, tears in the vaginal walls. The decrease in estrogen can make the vagina more susceptible to infection as the normally acidic p H becomes more alkaline. On top of that, a dry vagina makes your sex life lousy. Doctors say that one of the best ways to treat vaginal dryness is, paradoxically, to have more sex. Sexual activity increases blood flow to the vagina, which stimulates lubrication and helps plump the vaginal tissue."

Some moms get their periods when the baby is two or three months old, even if they are exclusively breastfeeding. Other moms may be partially breastfeeding and not get their cycle back until they wean. It just depends on the mother and how sensitive she is to the hormonal influences of breastfeeding. It may also be influenced by how often the baby is nursing, if the baby is supplemented with bottles, if the baby takes a pacifier, how long the baby sleeps at night, and if solids have been introduced. Once menstruation returns, it may be irregular for a while as mother continues to breastfeed. There may be some nipple tenderness associated with the onset of the cycle as well. Once the cycle returns, mother *is* fertile. She can also be fertile BEFORE the first cycle. Fertility is influenced initially by the amount of time baby is at the breast."

Follow 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: If the Astroglide is the silicone-based variety, try going with a water-based version or with KY. Silicone may be causing her that irritation. Also, another lubricant you could try is J-Lube, an obstetrical lubricant sold by Jeffers Supply. It's water-based (powder you mix up with water), completely inert, and is intended to be used vaginally or rectally. If you try J-Lube, boil the water before mixing in the lubricant powder to ensure sterility (that also provides a very pleasantly warm lubricant as it cools down). I have not yet tried grape seed oil as a sexual lubricant so I can't say yes or no."

"text": "Menopause Drugs and Medications Treating Hot Flashes, Bone Loss, and Vaginal Dryness Written by Daniel J. Toft MD, Ph D | Reviewed by Brigid Gregg MDThere are a number of prescription and over-the-counter medications available to treat the symptoms of menopause. This article focuses on treatments for the 3 most common symptoms and complications: hot flashes, bone loss, and vaginal dryness. Hot Flashes Drugs and medications that treat hot flashes include: Hormone therapy: Hormone therapy (also known as estrogen plus progestogen therapy) is widely considered the best treatment for moderate to severe hot flashes. Plus, it is the only FDA-approved medication for hot flashes. Another benefit of hormone therapy is that it will help prevent bone loss because estrogen supports your bone-building cells, called osteoblasts. In most cases, the lowest possible dose taken for the shortest amount of time is the best strategy to provide relief while limiting the risks associated with hormone therapy (which include an increased uterine cancer, breast cancer and stroke risk). Your doctor will work with you to determine your appropriate dose and length of treatment. Some women present certain risk factors that prevent them from taking hormone therapy. These risks include a history of breast cancer, blood clots, and abnormal uterine bleeding. If you cannot take hormone therapy to manage your hot flashes, there are non-hormonal prescription medications available that may help."

"text": "Some Vaginal Lubricants May Damage Sperm Vaginal Lubricants May Interfere With Fertility Treatments, Conception From the Web MD Archives Oct. 19, 2005 -- Some brands of vaginal lubricants commonly recommended to couples undergoing fertility treatments may actually damage sperm and reduce the chance of conception. A new study shows three brands of vaginal lubricants, Fem Glide, Replens, and Astroglide, damaged sperm integrity and activity (motility) in laboratory tests. But a fourth brand of vaginal lubricant, Pre-Seed, did not appear to cause significant damage to sperm. Researchers say vaginal lubricants are often recommended for relieving vaginal dryness in women undergoing fertility treatment. These results suggest that when mixed with sperm during intercourse, certain vaginal lubricants may affect sperm quality and decrease the potential for fertilization and conception. The study was presented this week at a joint meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine and the Canadian Fertility and Andrology Society in Montreal. Continue Reading Belowyou might like Vaginal Lubricants May Harm Sperm In the study, researchers compared the effects of combining donor sperm from 13 different men in a solution of 10% of each of the four different vaginal lubricants vs. untreated sperm. The results showed that sperm activity ranged from a high of 66% in untreated sperm to a low of 2% in a solution containing Astroglide. The highest level of sperm activity (64%) was found in the solution treated with Pre-Seed vaginal lubricant, followed by 51% with Fem Glide and 25% with Replens. Low sperm activity significantly reduces the chances of conception."

While the incidence of reported STIs has actually declined in the United States in the last decade, the number of these infections in children and teenagers is still very high. About 25% of teenagers will have an STI before they graduate from high school. Bacteria or viruses cause STIs. Any person who has sex with another person can get them. While STI symptoms can range from mild irritation and soreness to severe pain, many times there are no symptoms at all. The STI called chlamydia, for example, is generally symptom free or causes only mild symptoms. The diagnosis may not be made until complications develop. Teenagers and young adults have higher rates of STIs than any other age group. One of the main reasons is that they frequently have unprotected sex."

If you have concerns about irregular periods or hot flashes, talk with your doctor. In some cases, further evaluation may be recommended. Tests typically aren't needed to diagnose menopause. But under certain circumstances, your doctor may recommend blood tests to check your level of: Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and estrogen (estradiol), because your FSH levels increase and estradiol levels decrease as menopause occurs Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), because an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) can cause symptoms similar to those of menopause Over-the-counter home tests to check FSH levels in your urine are available. The tests could tell you whether you have elevated FSH levels and might be in perimenopause or menopause. But, since FSH levels rise and fall during the course of your menstrual cycle, home FSH tests can't really tell you whether or not you're definitely in a stage of menopause.

The viscosity of these products can be altered by adjusting their water content and concentration of cellulose or other gel-forming hydrophilic ingredient. Because water-based personal lubricants absorb into the skin and evaporate, most water-based lubricants have a tendency to dry out during use, but reapplication of the lubricant or application of water or saliva is usually sufficient to reactivate them. When the lubricant eventually dries out, it may leave behind a residue derived from the other ingredients in the formulation. This may require reapplication during sex, and/or removal of the residue with water."

"text": "Vaginal Dryness Print Vaginal dryness, or atrophic vaginitis, is an irritation of the vagina caused by a thinning and shrinking of the vaginal tissues and decreased lubrication of the vaginal walls. Symptoms of Vaginal Dryness Vaginal soreness (may also have itching or burning sensation)Annoying and painful intercourse Frequent urination and urinary urgency Light bleeding after intercourse What Causes Vaginal Dryness? Decreased estrogen is the most common cause, which is why vaginal dryness most frequently affects postmenopausal women. Removal of the ovaries, chemotherapy, hormone therapy and radiation treatments also cause decreases in estrogen and thus can cause vaginal dryness. In some cases vaginal dryness is also caused by a lack or loss of estrogen following childbirth (which can occur if the mother is breastfeeding ). Irritation of the vagina caused by tampons, toilet tissue, and contraceptives also can lead to dryness, and in some instances latex condoms can cause an allergic reaction, which can lead to a drying of the vaginal tissue. Smoking can also cause vaginal dryness. For some women, dryness is experienced as decreased vaginal secretions prior to intercourse. However, in this case the cause is more often related to a man’s inability to fully arouse the woman sufficiently during foreplay, which normally results in natural self-lubrication of the vagina, or from his unwillingness to wait for his partner’s full arousal prior to intercourse. What If You Do Nothing?"

They are a male birth control method and consist of a flexible sheath that is made with polyisoprene (which is a natural rubber). SKYN condoms are designed to cover the penis during sexual intercourse for contraception or as a means of preventing sexually transmitted diseases. Lifestyles SKYN condoms are one of only a handful of available brands of non-latex condoms. These polyisoprene condoms were FDA approved in November 2008 for the prevention of pregnancy as well as for sexually transmitted diseases. Why Are Non-Latex SKYN Condoms Receiving Rave Reviews? Polyisoprene condoms are the newest condom option on the market. According to Lifestyles, the polyisoprene that is used to make SKYN condoms is created in a laboratory and is specially treated to give it crosslinks -- these crosslinks allow the polyisoprene to stretch much more. This special treatment also help the condoms to recover their original shape after being stretched. Compared to polyurethane condoms, SKYN condoms are: Softer More form fitting A little thicker Stretchier More resistant to breakage And, even more, SKYN condoms cost way less than polyurethane condoms (but they are more expensive than latex condoms )."

"text": "\"The Menstrual Cycle In females the menstrual cycle is a self-regulating process during which the body undergoes many physiological and hormonal changes. The menstrual cycle is regulated by two hormones secreted from the pituitary gland, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). These control the production of the hormones estrogen and progesterone, which are produced in the ovaries. Females begin their menstrual cycle during puberty at the onset of menarche, their first menstrual period. Females continue to have many menstrual cycles throughout their lives until menopause occurs between ages 40 to 60. The average menstrual cycle lasts about 28 days, but can last anywhere from 24 to 42 days. There are three major phases of the menstrual cycle: the menstrual phase, the proliferate phase, and the secretory phase. Click here for more information on menstrual products. The Menstrual Phase The menstrual phase is the phase during which the lining of the uterus, called the endometrium, is shed as menstrual flow out of the cervix and vagina. This process is what women experience during their menstrual periods, and the menstrual flow actually consists of blood, mucus, and tissue."

"text": "Print Diagnosis When you see a doctor because you're having trouble getting your partner pregnant, he or she will try to determine the underlying cause. Even if your doctor thinks low sperm count is the problem, it is recommended that your partner be evaluated to rule out potential contributing factors and determine if assisted reproductive techniques may be required. Testing and diagnosis may involve the following: General physical examination and medical history This includes examination of your genitals and asking questions about any inherited conditions, chronic health problems, illnesses, injuries or surgeries that could affect fertility. Your doctor might also ask about your sexual habits and your sexual development. Semen analysis A low sperm count is diagnosed as part of a semen analysis test. Sperm count is generally determined by examining semen under a microscope to see how many sperm appear within squares on a grid pattern. In some cases, a computer might be used to measure sperm count. To collect a semen sample, your doctor will have you masturbate and ejaculate into a special container. It's also possible to collect sperm for examination during intercourse, using a special condom. Because sperm counts often fluctuate, typically several semen analysis tests are done over a period of time to ensure accurate results."

If you have concerns about irregular periods or hot flashes, talk with your doctor. In some cases, further evaluation may be recommended. Tests typically aren't needed to diagnose menopause. But under certain circumstances, your doctor may recommend blood tests to check your level of: Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and estrogen (estradiol), because your FSH levels increase and estradiol levels decrease as menopause occurs Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), because an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) can cause symptoms similar to those of menopause Over-the-counter home tests to check FSH levels in your urine are available. The tests could tell you whether you have elevated FSH levels and might be in perimenopause or menopause. But, since FSH levels rise and fall during the course of your menstrual cycle, home FSH tests can't really tell you whether or not you're definitely in a stage of menopause. Treatment Menopause requires no medical treatment. Instead, treatments focus on relieving your signs and symptoms and preventing or managing chronic conditions that may occur with aging.

"text": "WASHINGTON — It’s been three months since the Rev. Suzan Johnson Cook resigned as the State Department’s religious freedom watchdog, and those who decry religious persecution in Syria, Sudan and elsewhere are wondering how long it’s going to take the White House to name a new ambassador-at-large for international religious freedom. Many in the field hope it’s someone with more diplomatic background than Johnson Cook, a former Clinton administration official and popular Baptist minister whose international experience was mostly acquired on the job. The other factor: the more than two years it took for the Obama administration to choose Johnson Cook and to get her confirmed by the Senate. “A continued vacancy will confirm the suspicion that already exists among foreign governments, persecutors, victims and American diplomats that the issue is not a priority,” said Thomas Farr, professor of religion and international affairs at Georgetown University. The White House has been tight-lipped about the timeline for a decision, as well as about any candidates it may be considering for the position, which Congress created in 1998 to highlight and alleviate religious persecution worldwide. Here’s a short list of five names swirling around Foggy Bottom, culled from experts who work in the field and were asked who they see as likely to be under consideration, or as particularly qualified for the job. Chris Seiple His father, Robert Seiple, was the first ambassador-at-large for international religious freedom and with his wife founded the Institute for Global Engagement, which Chris Seiple now heads. IGE is a Christian think tank that sponsors work in developing countries to establish religious tolerance as a societal value. The younger Seiple founded the Review of Faith & International Affairs and co-founded The International Religious Freedom Roundtable. The former Marine infantry officer is a Baptist."

Debbie Longby K. Kris Hirst Updated March 06, 2017Wheat is a grain crop with some 25,000 different cultivars in the world today: most of these forms are varieties of two groups: common wheat and durum wheat. Common or bread wheat Triticum aestivum accounts for some 95% of all the consumed wheat in the world today; the other five percent is durum or hard wheat T. turgidum ssp. durum, used in pasta and semolina products. Bread and durum wheat are both domesticated forms of wild emmer wheat (reported variously as T. araraticum, T. turgidum ssp. dicoccoides, or T. dicocoides ). Another early form of wheat called einkorn ( T. monococcum ), was domesticated at about the same time, but has limited distribution today. Origins of Wheat The origins of our modern wheat, according to genetics and archaeological studies, are found in the Karacadag mountain region of what is today southeastern Turkey--wheat makes up two of the classic eight founder crops of the origins of agriculture. There, some 12,000 years ago or so, both einkorn and emmer wheats were domesticated. The earliest collected wheat was wild emmer, at the Ohalo II site, about 23,000 years ago."

"text": "\"Live Science Health Smoking Marijuana May Affect Weight Gain By Agata Blaszczak-Boxe, Contributing Writer | July 7, 2015 06:49am ETMORECredit: Pe3k/Shutterstock.com Whether smoking marijuana contributes to weight gain may depend on how much pot a person smokes, in addition to other factors such the person's gender, according to a new study. Smoking marijuana often gives people the munchies — a sudden increase in appetite that can make them eat a lot at once — so researchers wanted to examine whether this drive to eat might mean that people who smoke pot put on extra pounds over time. The researchers looked at data from young people who had enrolled at age 12 or 13 in a 13-year study on nicotine dependence in teens. When they reached age 20, the 271 men and 319 women were asked whether they had smoked marijuana in the past year, and if so, how often they smoked. The participants were also asked if they smoked cigarettes. Researchers also tracked the participants' body mass indexes and waist size from ages 17 to 24. The researchers found that, among the people in the study who smoked marijuana regularly but did not smoke cigarettes, the more often they smoked pot, the more weight they gained. For example, among the men in the study who did not smoke cigarettes, those who smoked marijuana daily gained more weight on average than the men who smoked pot weekly. \"\" The main finding of our study shows that long-term Cannabis use indeed influences weight gain,\"\" study co-author Didier Jutras-Aswad, a professor at the University of Montreal, said in a statement. \"\" But above all, we noted that certain factors drastically modify this effect,\"\" including gender, level of marijuana use and cigarette smoking, Jutras-Aswad said.

The words simila, semidalis, groat, and grain may all have similar proto-Indo-European origins as two Sanskrit terms for wheat, samita and godhuma, [ citation needed] or may be loan words from the Semitic root smd – to grind into groats ( cf.

"text": "\"Music Articles All Together Now: The Beatles Are (Back) In Mono September 9, 2014 9:40 AM ETJem Aswad Enlarge this image The Beatles with George Martin in January 1967 at Abbey Road Studios in London. Apple Corps Lt/Courtesy of the artist By now, three-fourths of the way through The Beatles ' sort-of-official 50th-anniversary year, Fab Four fatigue is understandable. The past eight months alone have seen the Emmy-nominated Night That Changed America TV special (based on the 50th anniversary of the group's landmark Ed Sullivan appearances), the reissue of the American album catalog, an ongoing flood of increasingly repetitive books, and the indefatigable 72-year-old Paul Mc Cartney continuing his more-or-less dozen-year tour. And all of that comes after more than a quarter-century of revisiting the canon: the revelatory-at-the-time first CD editions in 1987, followed by a fascinating flood of CD bootlegs — which lost the group millions before they sorted out their byzantine legal affairs and took command of their recorded ephemera with the sprawling Anthology album and video series beginning in 1995. Five years ago, the 1987 CD editions were remastered (and drastically improved) — in stereo and, for the first time, mono — and followed over the next couple of years by stereo vinyl reissues and the catalog finally being released on i Tunes. Along the way, there have been two double-CD collections of BBC recordings and fancy Blu-ray reissues of The Beatles' films (except the death knell of Let It Be, which they seem not to have the heart to revisit), among many less relevant enterprises. The Beatles Mono box set. Apple Corps Lt/Courtesy of the artist Today, just over 45 years after The Beatles were last together in a recording studio, the deluge has reached a final frontier with another rerelease of the group's catalog — this time in mono and on pristine 180-gram vinyl, in meticulous, near-exact reproductions of the original British releases: with the same fold-over sleeves, similar laminated front covers, the same typefaces and all that. ( The albums — excluding Let It Be and Abbey Road, which were never officially mixed in mono — have been newly mastered using the same procedures and transfer notes made by the original cutting engineers, and will be available individually and as a lavish 14-LP box set that comes with a hardcover \"\"booklet\"\" that's basically a 108-page, memorabilia-filled coffee table book. ) It's a paradoxical, back-to-the-future, somewhat perplexingly retro exercise: releasing mono vinyl editions of possibly the most scrutinized canon in the history of recorded music — in 2014."

"text": "\"Fugees video director convicted of raping daughters sentenced to 50 years on top of 40-year term BY David Boroff NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Updated: Monday, July 29, 2013, 11:49 AMfacebook Tweet email Aswad Ayinde hides his face with a piece of paper during his sentencing at Passaic County Courthouse in Paterson on Friday. He received a 50-year sentence. ( Marko Georgiev/AP)An award-winning video director who is believed to have fathered six children with three of his own daughters was sentenced to 50 years in prison for sexual assault on Friday. The sentence comes in addition to a 40-year prison term he received 20 months ago. New Jersey resident Aswad Ayinde received the new punishment for repeatedly raping one his daughters since she was 8.“I can’t describe how much you hurt me and my sisters,” the now-35-year-old daughter said to Ayinde as part of a stunning exchange at Passaic County Courthouse on Friday, according to North Jersey.com. “You should’ve told the truth instead of lying,” Ayinde reportedly responded before being scolded by the judge, who added that he and 12 jurors believed she was telling the truth. Ayinde won an MTV award for directing a Fugees' music video. Ayinde was arrested in 2000 for attempting to take three of his kids out of the state's custody and busted again in 2006 after being accused of raping five of his daughters, NBC reported. Now 55, Ayinde fathered six kids with his daughters from the mid-1980s to 2002 and delivered the newborns himself, New Jersey prosecutors alleged back in 2010. Two babies died in the home and were buried without the police even being told about their existence, according to NBC."

His heavy bronze coffin was carried to the top of the highest hill in the village and placed in a temporary mausoleum painted in the colours of red, green and gold. Alongside Marley's embalmed corpse, the casket contained his red Gibson Les Paul guitar, a Bible opened at Psalm 23, and a stalk of ganja placed there by his widow, Rita, at the end of the funeral ceremony earlier in the day. On the night of his death, on 11 May, I had gone to the Island Records studios in an old church in Notting Hill, west London, where Aswad had been cutting tracks in the very basement studio where Bob had completed Catch A Fire, his breakthrough album, nine years earlier. But it was long after midnight, and the musicians had gone home after watching the tributes to the dead man hurriedly assembled by the British TV networks. The only people left were a caretaker and one of Aswad's roadcrew, both Jamaicans. \"\" A sad day,\"\" I said, unable to think of anything more profound or perceptive.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Part of a series on Discrimination General forms Specific forms Social Manifestations Policies Countermeasures Related topics Discrimination portalv t e Discrimination based on skin color, also known as colorism or shadeism, is a form of prejudice or discrimination in which people are treated differently based on the social meanings attached to skin color. [ 1]Colorism, a term coined by Alice Walker in 1982, [2] is not a synonym for racism. Numerous factors can contribute to \"\"race\"\" (including ancestry); therefore, racial categorization does not solely rely on skin color. Skin color is only one mechanism used to assign individuals to a racial category, but race is the set of beliefs and assumptions assigned to that category. Racism is the dependence of social status on the social meaning attached to race; colorism is the dependence of social status on skin color alone. In order for a form of discrimination to be considered colorism, differential treatment must not result from racial categorization, but from the social values associated with skin color. [ 1] “The problem of the color line” is a concept created by W. E. B. Du Bois, which explains the divide between light and dark shades of skin color. [ 3]Research has found extensive evidence of discrimination based on skin color in criminal justice, business, labor market, housing, health care, media and politics in the United States and Europe. Lighter skin tones are seen as preferable in many countries in Africa and Asia. Many studies report lower private sector earnings for racial minorities, although it is often difficult to determine the extent to which this is the result of racial discrimination. ["

SCHERAGAShow morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/B978-1-4832-3038-2.50011-7 Get rights and content Publisher Summary This chapter discusses limited proteolysis and aggregation in the fibrinogen–fibrin conversion. The primary purpose of fibrinogen–fibrin reaction is to provide examples to illustrate the role of side-chain hydrogen bonding in limited proteolysis and in protein aggregation. As the fibrinogen–fibrin conversion is a very important part of the process of blood clotting, it is worthwhile to begin with a consideration of the components of blood that are involved in coagulation. Fibrinogen is converted to fibrin in the presence of thrombin, this transformation being essentially the final stage in the complex series of processes involved in blood coagulation. The coagulation process consists of the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin and of the subsequent action of thrombin on fibrinogen to produce fibrin. However, in vitro studies of the chemistry of the thrombin–fibrinogen reaction, uncomplicated by the prothrombin–thrombin conversion, can be carried out with isolated and purified thrombin and fibrinogen. In this process, fibrinogen, already a high polymer of many amino acids, is converted to an even higher polymeric form or coagulum, the fibrin clot. The fibrinogen–fibrin conversion provides an excellent example of a set of reactions that illustrate the role of side-chain hydrogen bonding in limited proteolysis and in protein association.

"text": "\"Base hydrolysis Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction during which one or more water molecules are split into hydrogen and hydroxide ions which may go on to participate in further reactions. [ 1] [2] It is the type of reaction that is used to break down certain polymers, especially those made by step-growth polymerization. Such polymer degradation is usually catalysed by either acid i.e concentrated sulphuric acid [H2SO4] or alkali i.e. sodium hydroxide [Na OH] attack, often increasing with their strength or p H. Hydrolysis is distinct from hydration, where hydrated molecule does not \"\"lyse\"\" (break into two new compounds). It should not be confused with hydrogenolysis, a reaction of hydrogen. Hydrolysis may be acidic and basic: Acid hydrolys: The type of hydrolysis carried out in the presence of an acid is called acid hydrolysis.

"text": "SQL Server 2005: using symmetric keys to encrypt data★ ★ ★ ★ ★★ ★ ★ ★★ ★ ★★ ★★Laurentiu Cristofor [MSFT] October 14, 2005 16Share 0 0In SQL Server 2005, the recommended method for encrypting data is to use symmetric keys. In this post, I'd like to comment on three topics related to using symmetric keys:1) basics of using a symmetric key 2) ways to restrict access to a symmetric key 3) how to prevent a symmetric key loss So, let's tackle each of these:1) Basics of using a symmetric key A symmetric key can be created using the CREATE SYMMETRIC KEY statement. Information about symmetric keys is stored in the sys.symmetric_keys catalog. Encryption and decryption using a symmetric key is done through the Encrypt By Key and Decrypt By Key builtins; the latter also has two additional flavors, Decrypt By Key Auto Cert and Decrypt By Key Auto Asym Key, which I'll address later in this post. Before using a symmetric key, however, the key must be opened - this is done using the OPEN SYMMETRIC KEY statement. The opening of the key is the operation through which the key is decrypted and made ready for use. A key that is opened will only be available in the current connection, and this availability will last until either the key is explicitly closed using a statement like CLOSE SYMMETRIC KEY or until the connection will end. Keys that are opened in the current session can be listed by executing:select * from sys.openkeys;Caveat: There is currently a defect (#409522) in sys.openkeys that can break the DMV if it is used in a query that searches for a specific key in the catalog. This bug will occur whenever there are multiple keys opened and the one that is specifically searched is not the last entry in the catalog. For example, the defect can be hit by executing a query like: select * from sys.openkeys where key_name = 'key_Data Encryption'; The defect behavior is that such a search can leave the catalog in a bad state, so that all subsequent queries over the catalog will return no results."

A: Quick Answer Some tips for repairing tree trunk damage include cleaning the damaged area, reattaching bark and trimming jagged edges of the wound. A tree owner can usually repair tree trunk damage if it covers less than 50 percent of the tree's circumference but should call a tree professional if the damage is more extensive. Continue Reading Keep Learning How Do You Repair a Split Tree? What Are Some Tips for Planting a Sugar Maple Tree? What Is a Lychee Tree? Full Answer For minor damage, owners can simply wash their trees with plain soap and water. This helps prevent pests and germs from further damaging the tree, while letting the tree heal on its own. If the damage occurred recently and there are salvageable pieces of bark, the owner can reattach the bark to the tree with durable tape. Owners must also ensure that the bark pieces are in the correct vertical position because certain vascular tissues in trees only transport nutrients upward."

"text": "\"The best sails for downwind cruising July 11, 2014What’s the difference between a drifter, a gennaker, a code zero, and a screecher? Where does a spinnaker fit in? And if you’re a cruiser, what sail should you use for downwind sailing, anyway? There is no single “best,” because everything on a boat is a compromise, and individual styles/needs vary, but we have some opinions on the optimal choice for most cruisers. This question came up on a women’s sailing forum I participate in recently. Because Jamie is a sailmaker, I asked him for help with a response that would be useful to differentiate the options for downwind sails. Differences between these sails aren’t difficult to understand, but get confusing because the names are mixed up or misused. I knew Jamie’d make sense of it, so he’s helped me organize this primer to provide basic general information on each sail, as well as his opinion on what’s the best for cruising purposes. Punchline: code zeroes are great for cruising. Does it cover all bases?"

"text": "Symmetric, Asymmetric, Directional, Unidirectional - What Does This Mean? Wednesday, January 16, 2013 by Zig Ziegler When shopping for tires, it pays to make sure you're getting the right tread design for your driving needs. The three most common tread designs are: symmetrical, asymmetrical and directional/unidirectional. Each tread design serves a specific purpose that will effect driving characteristics and tire rotations. Symmetric Tread Pattern A symmetric tread pattern is the most common and features continuous ribs or independent tread blocks across the entire tread face where both inboard and outboard halves feature the same pattern. Tires featuring symmetric tread patterns allow using multiple tire rotation patterns. Two of our highest rated all-season tires with a symmetrical tread pattern are the Michelin Primacy MXV4 and Hankook Optimo H727. Michelin Primacy MXV4 Hankook Optimo H727Asymmetric Tread Pattern An asymmetric pattern is designed to blend the requirements of dry grip and water dispersal/snow traction where the tread pattern changes across the face of the tire. An asymmetric tread pattern typically incorporates larger tread ribs/blocks on the outboard side to increase cornering stability on dry surfaces by offering greater contact area. This also helps to reduce tread squirm and heat buildup on the outside shoulder."

Not because I was unhappy but because my face looked so out of alignment and my smile looked so unnatural. I was very uncomfortable when I spoke to people in person because I was afraid the other person would notice my unnatural, uneven smile.

I never thought I would have a big smile again!We move our mouths unconsciously throughout the day when we talk, eat or even when we are sitting in front of the computer. Paying attention to the movement really helps to correct and retrain the movement of the mouth area. If you chew your food on one side of the mouth more than the other, you probably have an uneven smile too!

We give sufficient conditions for the final distribution of wealth to be independent of the initial distribution and conditions for saddlepoint-stability in a two-class model. Previous article Next article JEL classification D91 D31Keywords Catching-up Convergence Relative wealth Status-seeking1. Introduction Many economists have pointed out that it is not wealth per se that is wanted; rather wealth (in the sense of relative wealth) is valued because it gives access to non-market goods such as status and influence. The relationship between relative wealth and non-market goods was aptly expressed in Adam Smith’s ‘The Theory of Moral Sentiments’: “To what purpose is all the toil and bustle of the world? … It is our vanity that urges us on … It is not wealth that men desire, but the consideration and good opinion that wait upon riches. 1If non-market goods are arguments in the direct utility function of economic agents, wealth necessarily appears in their reduced-form utility function. 2 The purpose of our paper is to demonstrate that when relative wealth appears in the reduced-form utility function, then, under certain conditions on the curvature of the utility function and the production function, the poor can catch up with the rich in the long run. Our paper is related to the insightful articles by Akerlof (1976), Cole et al. ( 1992) and Konrad (1992)."

In an asymmetric key encryption scheme, anyone can encrypt messages using the public key, but only the holder of the paired private key can decrypt. Security depends on the secrecy of the private key. In the Diffie–Hellman key exchange scheme, each party generates a public/private key pair and distributes the public key. After obtaining an authentic copy of each other's public keys, Alice and Bob can compute a shared secret offline. The shared secret can be used, for instance, as the key for a symmetric cipher.

Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL, has been one of the major forces in Internet security technology since its inception by Netscape Communications, and continues to be included in all major browsers. This has enabled Web application developers to deliver secure content and services using traditional HTTP servers with few changes required in terms of the setup of the basic server or restructuring of the HTML content. The other major advantage of the integration of SSL into all major browsers is its transparency to the user. SSL typically gets used without the knowledge of the client, other than the appearance of a small padlock in the corner of the browser window, thus meaning that no additional level of expertise is required to use Internet applications with this security. Figure 3-9 shows a browser that is currently using SSL . Figure 3-9. A Web browser will typically use SSL when instructed by the Web site with little or no input required by the user. The use of SSL can be seen by the inclusion of a small padlock in the browser. While the most common implementation of SSL is within Web browsers, creating the application protocol hybrid known as HTTPS, it should be remembered that it is a transparent protocol available to any TCP / IP -based application."

Chemistry1 Answer47Ernest Z. and 2 others Share Jul 13, 2015You look for a plane or an axis of symmetry. Many students find it difficult to visualize molecules in three dimensions. It often helps to make simple models from coloured sticks and putty or Styrofoam balls. Planes of Symmetry A plane of symmetry is an imaginary plane that bisects a molecule into halves that are mirror images of each other. In 2-chloropropane, (a), CH₃CHCl CH₃, the vertical plane bisects the H atom, the C atom, and the Cl atom. The CH₃ group (brown) on the right hand side of the mirror is a mirror image of the CH₃ group (brown) left hand side. So are the left and right halves of the bisected atoms. So the vertical plane is a plane of symmetry, and the molecule is symmetric.2-Chlorobutane, (b), CH₃CHCl C₂H₅, has a plane that bisects the C, H, and Cl atoms into mirror image halves. But the C₂H₅ group (yellow) on the right hand side is not a mirror image of the CH₃ group (brown) on the left hand side."

"text": "\"Commonly simplified as DSL, Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) is technology for high-speed Internet access. It uses existing copper telephone lines to send and receive data at speeds that far exceed conventional dial-up modems, while still allowing users to talk on the phone while they surf. By contrast, DSL is typically not as fast as cable Internet access. It is generally well-suited for moderate gaming, computer-aided design, streaming multimedia, and downloading large files. ADSL Speed The fastest dial-up modems are rated at 56 kilobits per second ( Kbps ), and usually operate at about 53 Kbps under good conditions. By comparison, ADSL allows download speeds from 1.5 to 8 megabits per second ( Mbps ), depending on the grade of DSL service purchased. Cable Internet is capable of supporting up to 30 Mbps. How Does ADSL Work? ADSL uses standard telephone lines to upload and download data on a digital frequency, which sets these datastreams apart from the analog signals that telephones and fax machines use. The telephone can be used at the same time when surfing the Web with DSL service because the signal is operating on a different frequency; this is not true of conventional dial-up Internet access."

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONIn order to secure a terminal to an article, it is conventional to attach a head of a threaded stud to the article, place a circular eyelet of a terminal onto the stud, then thread a nut tightly onto the stud so as to secure the terminal to the stud. The stud serves as an electrical conductor between the terminal and the article. An example of the foregoing is shown at FIGS. 1A and 1B, wherein a threaded stud 10 has a head 12 which is welded 14 to an automobile frame 16. In this application, the stud serves as a ground connection to the automobile frame. A terminal 18 has a circular eyelet 20, wherein the eyelet is placed onto the stud. In this application, the terminal is connected by a wire 22 to the negative side of a battery. A nut is then threaded onto the stud and thereupon tightened so as to secure an electrical connection between the terminal and the stud. While the conventional system of a stud, a nut and a circular eyelet terminal works well to provide a good electrical connection between the terminal and an article connected to the stud, there is an inherent problem associated with rotation of the terminal as the nut is tightened."

"text": "An estimate of the global prevalence and incidence of herpes simplex virus type 2 infection Katharine J Looker a, Geoffrey P Garnett a, George P Schmid b Introduction Genital herpes may be caused by either herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) or type 2 (HSV-2) but, globally, the large majority of cases are caused by HSV-2; infection is common in both the industrialized and developing worlds, and HSV-2 uncommonly causes infection by non-sexual means. 1 – 5 The ability of the virus to successfully avoid clearance by the immune system by entering a non-replicating state known as latency leads to lifelong infection, although whether latency always accompanies infection is unclear. 4 Periodic reactivation from latency is possible and leads to viral shedding from the site of the initial infection. The large majority of persons with genital herpes do not know they have the disease 6 and infection and reactivation are typically “asymptomatic” although, with teaching, most persons with positive HSV-2 serology (46 of 53, in one study) recognize genital lesions. 5 Despite the typically asymptomatic nature of genital herpes, which facilitates its spread in the population, and means it is a useful marker of sexual behaviour, 7 genital herpes is associated with considerable morbidity and even mortality. Genital lesions due to herpes are often very painful, and can lead to substantial psychological morbidity. 4 The virus can also be passed from mother to child during birth. Neonatal infection can be very serious. 8 Without treatment, 80% of infants with disseminated disease die, and those who do survive are often brain damaged. 9 In one study in the United States of America (USA), four of nine infants born to women who acquired genital herpes shortly before labour developed neonatal infection, of whom one died."

Cumulative Probabilities of Developing AIDS and Annual Hazard of AIDS for the First 10 years Following HIV Infection in Adult Males Introduction HIV disease is a continuum of progressive damage to the immune system from the time of infection to the manifestation of severe immunologic damage by opportunistic infections (OI), neoplasms, wasting, or low CD4 lymphocyte count that define AIDS. The time it takes to traverse this spectrum varies greatly, ranging from 1 year or less in some persons to a still unknown upper limit in others that has reached nearly 20 years in a few individuals. The period from infection to development of AIDS is known as the incubation period. The period from an AIDS diagnosis to death has been studied separately as AIDS survival time. The epidemiology of HIV disease progression has attempted to characterize the distribution of possible lengths of the incubation period and the AIDS survival period, to identify laboratory tests useful for prognosis and treatment decisions, and to determine what cofactors accelerate or retard the rate of disease progression. These topics are reviewed in this chapter."

"text": "Clindamycin phosphate 2% vaginal cream (Clindesse) for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis April 23, 2010 Drug Assessments Leave a Comment Share Introduction Pharmaceutical Services Division (PSD) requested a systematic review of Clindesse for the treatment of non-pregnant women ≥ 18 years of age with bacterial vaginosis. Drug Clindesse is a semi-solid white cream containing 2% clindamycin phosphate, which is a water-soluble ester of the semi-synthetic antibiotic produced by a 7 (S)-chloro-substitution of the 7 (R)-hydroxyl group of the parent antibiotic, lincomycea. The recommended dose is a single intravaginal administration on one day. Disease Bacterial vaginosis is a common vaginal infection caused by an imbalance in the vaginal flora. In bacterial vaginosis there is suppression of lactobacilli, a rise in p H and overgrowth of other organisms, most commonly Gardnerella vaginalis. The overgrowth of these bacteria causes an increase in p H and a white or grey-like vaginal discharge accompanied by an unpleasant fishy odour. In clinical practice bacterial vaginosis is diagnosed using the Amsel criteria of which at least three of the four following criteria must be met: thin, white, yellow, homogeneous discharge, clue cells on microscopy, p H of vaginal fluid >4.5, release of a fishy odour on adding alkali. For diagnosis in asymptomatic women and for clinical trials the FDA also requires use of the Nugent score which requires the use of a gram stained vaginal smear where the vaginal flora are examined and graded as: 0–3 normal (lactobacillus predominant), 4–6 intermediate, 7+ indicative of BV. Once diagnosis is confirmed the mainstay of treatment is antibiotic therapy. Antimicrobials, which include the 5-nitroimidazoles (metronidazole, tinidazole, secnidazole), and the lincosamide clindamycin, inhibit anaerobes that support Gardnerella vaginalis but do not affect lactobacilli, and thus reduce the risk of relapse."

"text": "Feb 9, 2010Volume: 9Atopic Dermatitis, Bacterial Conjunctivitis, Pediatric Asthma, Pediatric Gastrointestinal Disorders, Pediatric Skin Diseases ABSTRACT: Consider an evaluation for Ig A deficiency in children older than 6 months who have recurrent bacterial infections in the upper or lower respiratory tract. This evaluation includes a complete blood cell count and measurement of peripheral blood B cells, T cells, NK cells, and levels of serum immunoglobulins. Patients with recurrent infections may benefit from prophylactic antibiotic therapy given for 6 months—or given only during the winter months in those with seasonal patterns of infections. Long-term follow-up to identify other immunological abnormalities, autoimmune disease, and malignancy is required. Antibodies against Ig A are known to occur in patients with selective Ig A deficiency; such patients are at risk for severe anaphylactic transfusion reactions. Selective Ig A deficiency (SIGAD) is the most common immunodeficiency disorder; it affects about 1 in 200 to 900 persons. 1,2 Most affected children are asymptomatic. However, in rare patients, the deficiency leads to an increased incidence of infection, particularly sinopulmonary infection. About 20% to 25% of patients have a family history of either SIGAD or common variable immunodeficiency (CVID). 1 SIGAD, CVID, selective Ig G subclass deficiencies, and a syndrome of recurrent sinopulmonary infections with normal serum immunoglobulin all seem to share the same group of gene defects."

Download article PDFThe success of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) can easily be gauged by the fact that fewer patients are dying of AIDS-related manifestations than ever before. However, there has been a relatively sharp increase in the number of deaths from other complications, including end-stage organ disease. Two articles published in this issue of The PRN Notebook outline the growing reality of severe liver disease among HIV-positive patients with chronic hepatitis B and hepatitis C infections. There are also a growing number of reports of renal disease in HIV, including HIV-associated nephropathy, and people with HIV infection are vulnerable to all the other common causes of end-stage renal disease including glomerulonephritis, Ig A nephropathy, amyloid, and diabetes mellitus. For patients with end-stage liver and kidney disease—not to mention patients with end-stage lung and heart disease—transplantation may be the only option. According to the American Council on Transplantation, more than 50,000 people benefit from organ transplantation every year. The United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) concurs and has always allowed HIV-positive patients to add their names to its organ waiting list (UNOS) still excludes potential donors known to be HIV-positive or perceived to be carriers of the virus [e.g., gay men, intravenous drug users, prostitutes, etc.]). However, many insurance companies and transplant centers balk at the idea of transplantation involving HIV-positive patients based on two factors."

FIV differs taxonomically from two other feline retroviruses, feline leukemia virus (Fe LV) and feline foamy virus (FFV), and is more closely related to human immunodeficiency virus ( HIV ). Within FIV, five subtypes have been identified based on nucleotide sequence differences coding for the viral envelope (env) or polymerase (pol). FIV is the only non-primate lentivirus to cause an AIDS-like syndrome, but FIV is not typically fatal for cats, as they can live relatively healthily as carriers and transmitters of the disease for many years. A vaccine is available although its efficacy remains uncertain. Cats will test positive for FIV antibodies after vaccination. [ 3]FIV was first isolated in 1986 by Dr. Smith at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine in a colony of cats that had a high prevalence of opportunistic infections and degenerative conditions and was originally called Feline T-lymphotropic Virus (FTLV).

Can I catch FIV from a cat? No. FIV is a species-specific virus. This means it only infects cats.

It is not surprising, then, that neurologic complications of HIV infection are common and not confined to opportunistic infections. All levels of the neuraxis can be involved, including the brain, meninges, spinal cord, nerve, and muscle. Neurologic disease is the first manifestation of symptomatic HIV infection in roughly 10-20% of persons, while about 60% of patients with advanced HIV disease will have clinically evident neurologic dysfunction during the course of their illness. ( 1-3) The incidence of subclinical neurologic disease is even higher: autopsy studies of patients with advanced HIV disease have demonstrated pathologic abnormalities of the nervous system in 75-90% of cases. ( 1,4,5) In the United States and the European Union, where antiretroviral therapy is relatively available, peripheral neuropathy and HIV-associated cognitive dysfunction (including AIDS dementia) account for the greatest proportion of neurologic disease burden. In developing countries, opportunistic infections of the central nervous system (CNS) account for most of the reported neurologic morbidity and mortality in AIDS. Cryptococcal meningitis, fulminant bacterial meningitis, neurotuberculosis, toxoplasmosis, and neurosyphilis are common among HIV-infected individuals in Asia and Africa."

A detailed clinical history should emphasize the following: Family history A positive family history may suggest the diagnosis and guide testing, but a negative family history does not exclude X-linked agammaglobulinemia (Bruton agammaglobulinemia; XLA), as new mutations may constitute more than half of the cases in some series. [ 5]A family history of a male infant with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) should suggest prompt testing of subsequent male infants. Age of onset Onset during early childhood suggests an inherited disorder. However, the condition transient hypogammaglobulinemia of infancy, as its name implies, represents a delay in the maturation of the full range of antibody responses, and usually resolves by a few years of age. Acquired hypogammaglobulinemias may start at any age, depending on the underlying cause (see Age).

Studies have shown that a person living with HIV who is on regular antiretroviral therapy that reduces the virus to undetectable levels in the blood is NOT able to transmit HIV to a partner during sex. This page will be updated soon to reflect the medical consensus that “Undetectable = Untransmittable. ”Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a virus that causes the condition acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The virus attacks a specific type of immune system cell in the body, known as CD4 helper lymphocyte cells. HIV destroys these cells, making it harder for your body to fight off other infections. When you have HIV, even a minor infection (like a cold) can be much more severe because your body has difficulty healing. HIV is transmitted through contact with the following bodily fluids:bloodbreast milksemenvaginal fluid Sexual contact and sharing contaminated needles — even tattoo or piercing needles — can result in the transmission of HIV. Not only does HIV attack CD4 cells, it also uses the cells to make more of the virus. When the virus has destroyed a certain number of CD4 cells, doctors will call this stage AIDS."

Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is a condition in which a person is infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, but does not currently have active tuberculosis disease. An estimated 10 to 15 million persons in the United States have LTBI. Because 5 to 10 percent of persons with LTBI are at risk of progressing to active disease, identification and treatment of LTBI are essential for the elimination of tuberculosis. Screening is recommended for high-risk persons, including immigrants; residents and employees of congregate living facilities; and persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus. Targeted tuberculin skin testing remains the most acceptable method of LTBI screening. New tests are being developed, the most promising of which are in vitro interferon-gamma release assays. All screened persons found to have LTBI should be offered treatment, regardless of age."

"text": "Fact Sheet | Veterinarian Awareness Feline immunodeficiency virus is a retrovirus in the lentivirus subfamily. The primary mode of transmission is through bite wounds. Because neutered cats fight much less than intact cats, transmission of FIV can be significantly reduced through neuter programs. Under natural conditions, the virus is not transmitted through nursing, mutual grooming, sharing food/water bowls, or from mother to kitten. Feral cats and owned cats contract FIV at an equally low rate. An estimated 3-4% of all free-roaming cats 1 become infected and carry the virus, but only a small portion of these cats develop symptoms related to FIV. Most FIV-infected cats live many years–sometimes their entire lives—without any visible effects from the virus. In cats who develop FIV-related disease, the virus can cause varying degrees of immune system dysfunction. This most often manifests as a reduced ability to fight infection. For example, the classic presentation is an adult male cat with recurrent abscesses that take longer to heal than would be expected."

The understanding of such factors is critical to the prevention of cardiovascular morbidities and mortality. See the image below. Traditional versus nontraditional risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD). The expanding list of nontraditional biomarkers is outweighed by the standard risk factors for predicting future cardiovascular events and adds only moderately to standard risk factors.

Modifiable risk factors High blood cholesterol levels (specifically, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [LDL-C])High blood pressure Cigarette smoking: Cessation of cigarette smoking constitutes the single most important preventive measure for CADDiabetes mellitus [ 1]Obesity Lack of physical activity Metabolic syndrome Mental stress and depression Nontraditional or novel risk factors High levels of the following are considered to be risk factors for CAD: C-reactive protein (CRP): High levels are related to the presence of inflammation and, according to some research results, may be associated with an increased risk of CAD development and heart attack [ 2]Lipoprotein (a)Homocysteine: In the general population, mild to moderate elevations are due to insufficient dietary intake of folic acid, but homocysteine levels may also identify people at increased risk for heart disease Small, dense LDL-C particles Fibrinogen Various medical conditions that can contribute to CAD include the following: End-stage renal disease (ESRD)Chronic inflammatory diseases affecting connective tissues (eg, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis) [ 3, 4]Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome [AIDS], highly active antiretroviral therapy [HAART]) [ 5]Xanthelasmata (raised yellow patches around the eyelids)The following are also considered to be risk factors: Tissue plasminogen activator (t PA): An imbalance of the clot dissolving enzymes (eg, t PA) and their respective inhibitors (plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 [PAI-1]) may predispose individuals to myocardial infarctions Low serum testosterone levels: Have a significant negative impact on patients with CADHysterectomy: A study suggests that this becomes a risk factor later in life in women who have the surgery at or before age 50 years Lack of sleep Identifying coronary artery disease Direct plaque imaging Electron-beam computed tomography (EBCT) scanning: To identify coronary calcification; can reveal at-risk individuals and perhaps allow for medical monitoring [ 6]64-slice CT angiography: Bulky plaques may be identified in asymptomatic patients; the risk-benefit of using CT angiography in an asymptomatic patient for the identification of atherosclerotic plaques is still a subject of much debate Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), pulse wave velocity (PWV), and the ankle-brachial index (ABI): Widely used, noninvasive modalities for evaluating atherosclerosis Biomarkers In a 10-year comparison of 10 biomarkers for predicting death and major cardiovascular events in approximately 3000 individuals, the most informative biomarkers for predicting death were as follows: B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP)CRPHomocysteine Renin Urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio The most informative biomarkers for predicting major cardiovascular events were BNP and the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio. Risk Factor Biomarkers Risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD) were not formally established until the initial findings of the Framingham Heart Study in the early 1960s. The understanding of such factors and risk stratification is critical for a clinician to prevent cardiovascular morbidities and mortality. ["

"text": "Richard KS Loh Sandra Vale Andrew Mc Lean-Tooke This article forms part of our ‘Tests and results’ series for 2013, which aims to provide information about common tests that general practitioners order regularly. It considers areas such as indications, what to tell the patient, what the test can and cannot tell you, and interpretation of results. What is the test? Immunoglobulins are protein molecules. They contain antibody activity and are produced by the terminal cells of B-cell differentiation known as ‘plasma cells’. There are five classes of immunoglobulin (Ig): Ig G, Ig M, Ig A, Ig D and Ig E. In normal serum, about 80% is Ig G, 15% is Ig A, 5% is Ig M, 0.2% is Ig D and a trace is Ig E. 1Quantitative serum immunoglobulin tests are used to detect abnormal levels of the three major classes (Ig G, Ig A and Ig M). Testing is used to help diagnose various conditions and diseases that affect the levels of one or more of these immunoglobulin classes. Some conditions cause excess levels, some cause deficiencies, and others cause a combination of increased and decreased levels. Ig D and Ig E will not be discussed in this article. When should the test be ordered?"

Unexplained CD4+ T-Lymphocyte Depletion in Persons Without Evident HIV Infection -- United States Since 1989, 21 persons with unexplained CD4+ T-lymphocyte depletion, but without evident human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, have been described (1-12). These reports included persons who have resided in the United States and six other countries and who sought medical care for conditions often associated with immune deficiency. Some of these cases were also described at the VIII International Conference on AIDS/III STD World Congress in Amsterdam. In addition, CDC has received reports of five persons from three states who have had persistently low CD4+ T-cell levels but who have had no evidence of HIV infection or underlying disease processes or therapies known to be associated with T-cell depletion. In some of these five patients, opportunistic infections were diagnosed that frequently occur in persons with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). This report describes preliminary clinical and laboratory findings from an ongoing investigation by CDC of these five patients. * Patient 1In March 1991, a 70-year-old man developed Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia that was successfully treated with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole."

"text": "What is a 'Sight Letter Of Credit'A sight letter of credit is payable once it is presented along with the necessary documents. An organization offering a sight letter of credit commits itself to paying the agreed amount of funds provided the provisions of the letter of credit are met. For example, a business owner may present a bill of exchange to a lender along with a sight letter of credit and walk away with the necessary funds right then. A sight letter of credit is thus more on-demand than some other types of letters of credit. Next Up Letter Of Credit Synthetic Letter of Credit Transferable Letter of Credit Shareholder Letter BREAKING DOWN 'Sight Letter Of Credit'A letter of credit is a document provided by a third party that verifies the payment for the associated goods or services will be paid. The document lists the precise conditions under which the funds can be released. This can include specific documentation requirements as well as an acceptable time frame for delivery. The letter of credit is separate from other contracts negotiated as part of the transaction, though it must be agreed upon by all parties. It can be used for national or international business. It is more common in international sales transactions, as it shifts risk away from the buyer and seller by having a bank centrally involved in the transaction."

I think our trip would have been very different if it had worked our that way – it just goes to show how much hosts can dictate the experience. Japan was a wonderful introduction into Asian culture and has got Vicky and I even more excited about upcoming South Korea and beyond. To a large degree we were in “vacation mode” throughout most of the trip. This meant a lot of sight-seeing and a lot of moving around from city to city, which is reflected in the many articles we wrote/temples we saw.

Normally I try to stay away from such conflicts, but I can only take so much disparagement of my beloved Movable Do system. The last straw is the discovery of a now-defunct web site that contained misleading information designed to promote the sale of a book. ( Warning: This post is intended for musicianship and theory nerds. If you are not in that category, your eyes will glaze over shortly. ) What are we arguing about? The age-old argument is this: Do we teach students to sight sing using an absolute system (Fixed Do) or a relative one (Movable Do )? Using the Fixed Do system, the syllable do corresponds directly to the note name “C”, such that Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti (Si)-Do is a C major scale. Re is D, So is G, etc. Teachers who use this system value pitch memory as a way of learning how to read."

The Romans seem to have ignored the remaining 61 days, which fell in the middle of winter. The 10 months were named Martius, Aprilis, Maius, Junius, Quintilis, Sextilis, September, October, November, and December. The last six names were taken from the words for five, six, seven, eight, nine, and ten. Romulus, the legendary first ruler of Rome, is supposed to have introduced this calendar in the 700s B. C. E. According to tradition, the Roman ruler Numa Pompilius added January and February to the calendar. This made the Roman year 355 days long. To make the calendar correspond approximately to the solar year, Numa also ordered the addition every other year of a month called Mercedinus. Mercedinus was inserted after February 23 or 24, and the last days of February were moved to the end of Mercedinus. In years when it was inserted, Mercedinus added 22 or 23 days to the year."

This popular exposition of the meaning and symbolism of the letter so precious to Freemasons is long out of print, although preserved in many sets of bound volumes and in libraries. This present paper is intended to be supplementary to, and not a recapitulation of, that printed as Number 7, of Volume V of these Bulletins. “ It is merely an accident of the English language that God and Geometry begin with the same letter; no matter what the language or he ritual, the initial of the Ineffable Name and that of the first and noblest of sciences are Masonicaly the same. “ But that is a secret! cries some newly made brother who has examined his printed monitor and finds that the ritual concerning the further significance of the letter “G” is represented only by stars. Aye, the “ritual” is secret, but the “fact,” is the most gloriously public that Freemasonry may herald to the world. One can no more keep secret the idea that God is the very warp and woof of Freemasonry than that he is the essence of all life. Take God out of Freemasonry, and there is, literally, nothing left; it is a pricked balloon, an empty vessel, a bubble which has burst.” ("

November 24th, 2012 | Author: Stephanie [Y]ou might have skipped one or more credit card payments and now a collection agency owns your account. Or you might have forgotten to pay the last electric bill at your old residence and now a debt collector is after you. You may ask the natural question of, “ how long does a collection account hurt your credit score? ” The general answer is seven years from the date you originally missed the payment, but the damage could last longer if the situation escalates. Once a collection account is reported on your Equifax, Experian, or Trans Union credit reports, your credit score will begin to plummet. It is impossible to predict just how much one or more collections can harm your credit rating. If you have a lot of strong credit history, then one account probably will not ruin your financial life for the next seven years. But it depends upon with what purposes companies review your credit report. If you want to get a mortgage, you will probably need to wait two to three years before qualifying for most programs."

He brings with him the family dog and his red wagon to carry the papers. That is the last time Johnny is ever seen again. Johnny’s parents, Noreen and John Gosch, launch the initial search for their son because the West Des Moines police were short staffed due to the Labor Day weekend.

Because both the Gosches were asleep when Johnny left the house that morning, there is conflicting information on what he was wearing that day.

The star suffix (which occurs in several different styles, the most common of which looks like a five-petal flower) was used by Springfield to denote arms made with a combination of new and salvaged parts, to be held in reserve, or issued to and/or used by groups like the National Guard. An order was issued, in late 1879, for all arms below 50,000 to be turned in. Parts from those guns which were turned in, but having new receivers, barrels and stocks, are the starred arms. They are \"\"interesting\"\", but not rare, and no pricing premium is justified. Over the years, many theories have been advanced for the star, but the above explanation is now accepted as fact. The typical starred arm will be a carbine, in the 170,000 - 200,000 range, having an SWP/1881 or SWP/1882 cartouche, though rifles in the 140,000 - 170,000 range and a few cadet rifles are known."

"text": "\"By analogy, consider that when you go to prison, everything of value is taken from you - your time, your attention, your freedom, your ability to function as a contributing member of society, the option to apply your intellectual or manual skills. Even your property is of no use to you if you cannot benefit from ownership. When government does this, it must assume total responsibility for you and pay your way. So, your food, clothing, housing/shelter, medical care, etc are provided because that is the State\\'s legal responsibility. Likewise, when the UNITED STATES declared bankruptcy, pledged all Americans as collateral against the national debt, and confiscated all gold, eliminating the means by which you could pay, it also assumed legal responsibility for providing a new way for you to pay, and it did that by providing what is known as the Exemption, an exemption from having to pay for anything. In practical terms, though, this meant giving each American something to pay with, and that \\\"\"something\\\"\" is your credit. Your value to society was then and still is calculated using actuarial tables and at birth, bonds equal to this \\\"\"average value\\\"\" are created. I understand that this is currently between one and two million dollars. These bonds are collateralized by your birth certificate which becomes a negotiable instrument. The bonds are hypothecated, traded until their value is unlimited for all intents and purposes, and all that credit created is technically and rightfully yours."

Any reasonable collector that wants to get paid should be willing to delete and it is total BS if they say they can't. If you dispute the same debt they have to confirm it as a valid debt and it is just as simple to have it removed, in fact if they do not respond to the dispute it will be removed by the credit bureau. Just yesterday I called about a $1236 account and was offered a settlement of $1000 and got it in writing that it would be removed from all three agencies. I paid with a credit card so if it isn't removed I will dispute the payment and have written proof that I didn't receive what was negotiated. I then contacted Pinnacle Credit about a Verizon bill in collections. They said they do not remove accounts so they did not get paid."

"text": "Home > Health Library Ataxia<< Back to Nervous System Disorders What is ataxia? Ataxia means without coordination. People with ataxia lose muscle control in their arms and legs. This may lead to a lack of balance, coordination, and trouble walking. Ataxia may affect the fingers, hands, arms, legs, body, speech, and even eye movements. The symptom of ataxia can be caused by many things including: Stroke Multiple sclerosis Tumors Alcoholism Nerve damage Metabolic disorders Vitamin deficiencies In these cases, treating the condition that caused ataxia may improve it. While the term ataxia usually describes symptoms, it also describes a group of specific degenerative diseases of the central nervous system called the hereditary and sporadic ataxias: Hereditary ataxias. This type is caused by a defect in a gene that a person is born with. Hereditary ataxias are degenerative disorders that may progress over a number of years. How severe the disability depends on the type of ataxia, the age of onset of symptoms, and other factors."

"text": "Causes Ataxia is usually caused by damage to a part of the brain known as the cerebellum, but it can also be caused by damage to the spinal cord or other nerves. The spinal cord is a long bundle of nerves that runs down the spine and connects the brain to all other parts of the body. The cerebellum is located at the base of the brain and is responsible for controlling:walking and sitting balancelimb co-ordinationeye movementsspeech Damage can occur as a result of injury or illness (acquired ataxia) or because the cerebellum or spinal cord degenerates because of an inherited faulty gene (hereditary ataxia). Sometimes there's no clear reason why the cerebellum and spinal cord become damaged. This is the case for people with idiopathic late-onset cerebellar ataxia (ILOA). Acquired ataxia Acquired ataxia can have a wide range of potential causes, including:severe head injury – after a car crash or fall, for examplebacterial brain infection, such as meningitis or encephalitis (an infection of the brain itself)viral infection – some viral infections, such as chickenpox or measles, can spread to the brain, although this is very rareconditions that disrupt the supply of blood to the brain, such as a stroke, haemorrhage or a transient ischaemic attack (TIA)cerebral palsy – a condition that can occur if the brain develops abnormally or is damaged before, during or shortly after birthmultiple sclerosis – a long-term condition that damages the nerve fibres of the central nervous systemsustained long-term alcohol misusean underactive thyroid glandvitamin B12 deficiencybrain tumours and other types of cancercertain toxic chemicals, such as mercury and some solvents – these can trigger ataxia if a person is exposed to enough of themmedications such as benzodiazepines can occasionally trigger ataxia as a side effect Hereditary ataxia Hereditary ataxia is caused by a faulty gene. Genes are units of DNA that determine a particular characteristic, such as sex or eye colour. A baby receives two copies of every gene – one from their mother and one from their father. There are two ways that ataxia can be inherited:autosomal recessive – Friedreich's ataxia and ataxia-telangiectasia are inherited in this wayautosomal dominant – episodic ataxia and some cases of spinocerebellar ataxia are inherited in this way These are described in more detail in the following sections. Autosomal recessive When ataxia is autosomal recessive, it means the affected person has inherited the mutated gene from both their mother and their father."

She is in her mid-30s with a history of a multitude of problems, not the least of which is ataxia (unsteadiness of gait or balance). We had diagnosed her with gluten intoleranc e several years ago. Despite her youth she was unsteady on her feet and proclaimed herself a “klutz” when she originally began care. She also had some belly weight that she wanted to lose. When she initially became a patient, she was delighted when both her ataxia and belly weight resolved during a couple months on a gluten-free diet. In fact, she is one of the testimonials in our book “The Gluten Effect”. Gluten Intolerance is a Known Cause of Neurological Disease Gluten is the most common cause of cerebellar ataxia. ( The cerebellum, in the brain, is very commonly affected by gluten. Its role in the brain is to help modulate voluntary movements so that they become more accurate, smooth, and require less conscious effort to perform."

This is the part of the brain that controls coordination, balance and fine motor function. Various pet health conditions can cause such damage. These include genetic disorders, trauma, toxins and tumors. Both dogs and cats can be affected by this syndrome. How it Affects your pet When the cerebellum is damaged, the pet develops problems with movement and balance. Most affected pets also develop intention tremors. This means that they shake when concentrating on an action. They also stand in odd positions since they do not have a normal sense of where their limbs are in space. Pets with cerebellar ataxia caused by cerebellar hypoplasia are born with the condition, and they do not get worse."

"text": "\"Friedreich's Ataxia Health Guide More What Is It? Friedreich's ataxia is an inherited (genetic) disorder that causes certain nerve cells to deteriorate over time. In many cases, this disorder also affects the heart, certain bones and cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. The illness typically begins with difficulty walking. People with Friedreich's ataxia develop clumsy, shaky movements of the legs (called gait ataxia) during childhood or early adolescence. In rare cases, symptoms appear in infants and in middle-aged adults. As the disease gets worse, people may develop bony deformities of the spine and feet, loss of sensation in the limbs, speech problems, abnormal eye movements, heart disease and diabetes. Scientists believe that many symptoms of Friedreich's ataxia are related to abnormally low levels of frataxin, a protein that helps to protect cells from \"\"free radicals,\"\" which are toxic (poisonous) byproducts of the cells' energy production. In a person with Friedreich's ataxia, a segment of the genetic code on chromosome number 9 can have as many as 1,000 repetitions, instead of the normal range of 7 to 22. These repetitions produce an error that leads to a decreased production of frataxin."

"text": "Mitochondrial Disease Tagged with: Mitochondrial Disease Posted by Dr James on Wednesday, September 8, 2010, 0:31This news item was posted in M, Mitochondrial category and has 1 Comment so far. What are Mitochondrial Diseases? Just as some diseases are named for the part of the body they affect (like heart disease), mitochondrial diseases are so-named because they affect a specific part of the cells in the body. Specifically, mitochondrial diseases affect the mitochondria — tiny energy factories found inside almost all our cells. Mitochondria are responsible for producing most of the energy that’s needed for our cells to function. In fact, they provide such an important source of energy that a typical human cell contains hundreds of them. A mitochondrial disease can shut down some or all the mitochondria, cutting off this essential energy supply. Nearly all our cells rely on mitochondria for a steady energy supply, so a mitochondrial disease can be a multisystem disorder affecting more than one type of cell, tissue or organ. The exact symptoms aren’t the same for everyone, because a person with mitochondrial disease can have a unique mixture of healthy and defective mitochondria, with a unique distribution in the body. Because muscle cells and nerve cells have especially high energy needs, muscular and neurological problems — such as muscle weakness, exercise intolerance, hearing loss, trouble with balance and coordination, seizures and learning deficits — are common features of mitochondrial disease."

It is found in wheat, barley, rye, oats, related species and hybrids (such as spelt, khorasan, emmer, einkorn, triticale, kamut, etc.) [ 2] and products of these (such as malt ). Glutens, and most especially the Triticeae glutens, are appreciated for their viscoelastic properties. [ 3] [4] Gluten gives elasticity to dough, helping it rise and keep its shape and often gives the final product a chewy texture. Wheat prolamins are called gliadins, barley prolamins are hordeins, rye prolamins are secalins and oats prolamins are avenins, which are collectively named gluten. [ 2] Wheat glutelins are called glutenin. [ 5] In a small part of the general human population, gluten can trigger coeliac disease, non-coeliac gluten sensitivity, gluten ataxia and dermatitis herpetiformis. [ 6] The occurrence of oat avenin toxicity in people with gluten-related disorders depends on the oat cultivar consumed, because the immunoreactivities of toxic prolamins are different among oat varieties.

"text": "\"On this page Introduction History Examination Conscious proprioception Vestibular system Cerebellar system Strength Extrapyramidal system Frontal lobes Summary Questions Chapter 15 - Evaluation of the Ataxic Patient Introduction Ataxia is defined as a difficulty of gait. It is a very common neurologic complaint, particularly in an elderly population and is often multifactorial. In general terms, ataxia can result from damage to the sensory systems that provide feedback for normal balance, or problems with the several motor systems that are needed to respond to the constantly changing environment while walking. The sensory systems that are important to gait include the visual system, the vestibular system and the conscious proprioceptive system from the lower limbs (especially the feet). When one of these systems is not functioning (such as when the eyes are closed) one becomes more dependent on the others. There are also certain times when one becomes more dependent on the sensory systems (such as the dependency on sensations from the feet when the ground is rough or irregular). Also, when a sensory system is functioning abnormally (such as when the patient has vertigo from abnormal vestibular function) it becomes difficult to maintain normal balance. The motor systems that are necessary for normal gait include those responsible for strength (upper and lower motor neurons), coordination (the cerebellum) and muscle tone and postures (the extrapyramidal system). Also, there are cortical elements necessary for gait that will be discussed below. Finally, there are patients who cannot stand due to other factors, such as orthostatic hypotension, that occur when upright."

Show More Uses Uses Atenolol is used with or without other medications to treat high blood pressure ( hypertension ). Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. This medication is also used to treat chest pain ( angina) and to improve survival after a heart attack. Atenolol belongs to a class of drugs known as beta blockers. It works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in your body, such as epinephrine, on the heart and blood vessels. This effect lowers the heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart. How to use Atenolol See also Warning section. Take this medication by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually 1 to 2 times daily. Apple juice and orange juice may prevent your body from fully absorbing atenolol. It is best to avoid drinking apple/orange juice within 4 hours of taking atenolol, unless your doctor or pharmacist tells you otherwise."

Atenolol, also known as Tenormin, is placed in a group of remedies known as beta-blocker. As a Beta-blocker, Atenolol is used to treat a range of bodily disorders in connection with anxiety and tension, such as high blood pressure, angina, irregular heart rhythms, migraines, prevention of a second heart attack, tremors, alcohol withdrawal, anxiety, and glaucoma. The three main malfunctions atenelol is used for are alcohol withdrawal, anxiety disorders, and cardiac disorders. Dealing with alcohol withdrawal, Atenolol can be used as an addition to tradition alcohol withdrawal treatment to help make the results more effective. In relation to anxiety disorders, atenolol is usually used in small stress reactions, minor panic disorders, and generalized anxiety syndrome. Results are most easily obtainable in patients who have bodily anxiety, as opposed to the mind, and helps reduce trembling and rapid heart beat. Atenolol also had a large affect on cardiac illnesses.

PRIOR ARTThe compound (R,S)-atenolol (4- [2-hydroxy-3- [ (1-methylethyl)amino]propoxy]-benzeneacetamide) is useful as a β-adrenegic blocker for the treatment of angina pectoris, arrhythmia and hypertension. It is known that atenolol is a 1-aryloxy-3-aminopropane-2-ol derivative wherein the hydroxy bearing carbon is an asymmetric carbon and hence exists as R- and S-isomers. It is also known that the S-isomer is particularly useful as a β-adrenegic blocker in view of its superior pharmacological activities. It is reported that S-atenolol has hypotensive activity and activity on brachycardia (A. A. Pearson, T. E. Gaffney, T. Walle, P. J. Privitera; J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther., 250 (3), 759, 1989). In prior art, the optical resolution of racemic atenolol has been studied to obtain the desired optically active atenolol, however, any practical method has not been reported so far. It is also reported that the diastereomers of atenolol having high purity is obtained from racemic mixture by using (R,R)-O,O-di-toluoyltartaric acid anhydride (M. J. Wilson et al.,"

At most, the blood sugar after a meal shouldn't be more than around 110 at the most. This is at least a sign of prediabetes if not outright diabetes. You need a fasting blood sugar, a glucose tolerance test, and a Hg A1C checked to see if you are diabetic.

When rapid weight gain does occur, it can potentially indicate congestive heart failure -- especially if accompanied by symptoms such as a cough and/or swelling in the ankles, feet, or legs. You should contact your healthcare provider if you notice unexplained weight gain or swelling while taking atenolol. Gradual weight, however, is not a reported side effect. Your Guide to Healthy Living With Diabetes Get tips, read articles, and learn about healthy living with diabetes, in-depth, from e Med TV's experts. Click here to learn more >Atenolol and Weight Gain: An Overview There are a number of possible side effects with atenolol ( Tenormin ® ). Gradual weight gain, however, does not appear to be one of them. This data comes from clinical trials that extensively studied atenolol and documented its side effects. However, gradual weight gain has been reported rarely with other beta blockers. Rapid weight gain, on the other hand, is a reported side effect with all beta blockers, including atenolol."

Corbis containing the active ingredient bisoprolol fumarate belongs to a class of medications called beta blockers. The medication works by blocking the action of certain natural chemicals in the body to relax the blood vessels and lower the heart rate and strain on the heart. It can be used alone or along with other medications to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) which can help decrease the risk of strokes, heart attacks and kidney problems. How is Corbis 2.5 used? Corbis is usually taken orally once per day or as directed by a doctor. The medication can be taken with or without food but should be taken with a full glass of water. Contact a doctor for the correct dosage and length of treatment as it will depend on the patient's condition and their response to the therapy. Do not discontinue the medication without consulting a doctor as abruptly stopping the treatment may cause conditions to worsen or other serious heart problems. Adverse effects Patients using Corbis may encounter unwanted side effects such as: Excessive fatigue Vomiting Diarrhea Headaches Cold hands or feet Dizziness Dry mouth Stuffy or runny nose Contact a doctor immediately should side effects persist or encounter more severe side effects such as: Fainting Slow or irregular heartbeat Decreased sex drive or erectile dysfunction Sleep disturbance Mental or mood changes Swollen ankles or feet Unusual weight gain Shortness of breath Warnings The medication can help treat and control high blood pressure but cannot be used to cure the condition."

You’ll also discover seven lifestyle choices that are beneficial for liver and heart disease prevention or managing your health while living with one of these conditions – tips that can help prevent and reduce astherosclerosis. Our culture may be propelling us to new technological heights, but it is also initiating our spiral down into ill health. Only by being conscious of how every personal choice affects our physical well being can we begin to make the changes necessary to see our grandchildren grow. As the connection between living an unhealthy lifestyle and the development of chronic disease is more fully realized, researchers are uncovering an increasing number of connections between different health conditions. Liver and Heart Although the liver and heart partner together to ensure blood circulates healthfully throughout the body, few people consider the two to be a team. However, research on atherosclerosis confirms a tight connection between liver and heart pathology. Physiologically, blood and bile intimately tie liver and heart health together:· Blood – The liver receives 25 percent of the blood pumped by the heart and filters over two quarts of blood a minute. To ensure optimal circulation and filtration, the heart pumps blood while the liver cleans it.· Bile – To dissolve fat in the blood vessels, the liver produces up to two cups of bile a day."

"text": "DELL-Todd SModerator08-06-2015 02:02 PMRE: upgraded to windows 10 and can't connect to Netgear router Hi,What model of Dell Inspiron are you using to try to connect to that Negear router? What wireless card is in the laptop and what version of the driver is currently installed on the system? As a general suggestion, since I don't know which model or card you're using, I would suggest updating the firmware on the router. Different cards use different chipsets, and drivers, so it may simply be a case of updating the software in the router to work with the software and wireless card in the system. Remember, communication between a system and a router is a two-way street and both sides need to have compatible software. I don't know which model of Netgear router you're using but you should be able to go into the administration screen on it and have it check for a firmware update. You can do a quick google search for the Netgear router user guide if you know the model number associated with it. That should give you full instructions on how to update the router. Let me know which Dell system model number, and wireless card you're using (along with current driver version) and I'll see what I can find specific to the card that may be of help as well.

As these needs have evolved over time, most employees now expect instant access to their communications, regardless of where they are or what type of device they use to access the Internet. Microsoft Exchange Server Microsoft Exchange Server is part of the Microsoft Windows Server line, and is intended to deliver a platform for messaging and collaboration. The primary features of Exchange Server include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks. Exchange Server also provides a platform for mobile and web-based users who need to be able to access their data remotely, as well as support for data storage. Enhanced Features Microsoft Exchange Server was first launched in 1996; more recent versions, such as Exchange Server 2007 and recently released Exchange Server 2010, include many enhancements from its original version. Some of these are: Security: Exchange Server now includes anti-spam and anti-virus filtering, as well as encryption technology. This protects users' data from outside intrusion and corruption. - Data Protection: Exchange Servers can be used in a cluster environment, which replicates the data across several servers and guarantees its availability. In this way, there can be no single point of failure; if one server goes down, the other servers will pick up the slack and continue to provide data to users. -"

A buffer in circuit design is an amplifier that provides an interface between mismatched circuit elements. In computer science, the term refers to a memory device used for temporary storage. It could also be an area of general memory that a computer program allocates for holding large amounts of data it's processing.

"text": "\"Network Protocols Explainedby Jim Campbell A network protocol lays out the rules for data communication between computers. These set of rules allow network card manufacturers to create drivers that interface between network cables, hardware devices and the computer's operating system. Several network protocols are available, but the most common is TCP/IP, which is the \"\"language\"\" of the Internet. It's these protocols that send computer communication from the network card, transmit over the cables and find the right computer to deliver the data packets. Features Network protocols are \"\"layered.\"\" This means the rules laid out to send a data packet are segmented into several different parts. A protocol designer can create rules for each layer, so network card designers can use the protocol in different ways to make the transmission of data more efficient. It also allows network designers to adapt the protocol for a specific purpose such as Internet communications or small network workgroups with only a few clients. Types Several network protocols exist, but TCP/IP has taken over as the most popular construct. TCP/IP is the language of the Internet, so companies and individuals incorporate it into the network topology."

"text": "New legislation would fund research that creates human embryos. I t’s baa-ack! Just when you thought the political fight over federal funding of embryonic-stem-cell research (ESCR) was over, United States District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth ruled that President Obama’s ESCR policy violates the “Dickey-Wicker Amendment,” a federal law barring federal funding of “the creation of a human embryo . . . for research purposes” and “research in which a human embryo or embryos are destroyed.” In response, a group of lawmakers introduced legislation that would authorize federal funding for human cloning. Dickey-Wicker, which most Americans have probably never heard of, is among the most bipartisan laws ever enacted. It has been passed each year since 1996 as part of the annual HHS appropriations bill by Republican and Democratic Congresses, including those led by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. And it has been signed into law each year by Democratic (Clinton, Obama) and Republican (Bush) presidents — each of whom also sought to circumvent the law to fund ESCR without directly violating its terms.#ad#Dickey-Wicker first came into serious conflict with the science sector in 1998 with the creation of the first human embryonic-stem-cell lines, the derivation of which destroys embryos. President Clinton wanted to fund the new field, so (true to form) he developed a way around the law that clearly violated its spirit, but, he argued, not its letter: Private money would be used to actually destroy the embryos and derive the cell lines. Thereafter, the NIH would fund the research so long as the embryos were originally created for use via in-vitro-fertilization fertility treatments."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Pessimism is a mental attitude. Pessimists anticipate undesirable outcomes from a given situation, which is generally referred to as situational pessimism, or believe that undesirable things are going to happen to them in life more than desirable ones. Pessimists also tend to focus on the negatives of life in general or a given situation. The most common example of this phenomenon is the \"\" Is the glass half empty or half full? \"\" situation. In this situation a pessimist is said to see the glass as half empty while an optimist is said to see the glass as half full. Throughout history, the pessimistic disposition has had effects on all major areas of thinking. [ 1]Philosophical pessimism is the related idea that views the world in a strictly anti-optimistic fashion. This form of pessimism is not an emotional disposition as the term commonly connotes. Instead, it is a philosophy or worldview that directly challenges the notion of progress and what may be considered the faith-based claims of optimism."

The justification of that enthusiastic admiration is in the fact that every increase of knowledge and deepening of wisdom in the critic or the student do but show still greater knowledge and deeper wisdom in the great poet.

He was exposed in the wild at birth with his twin brother Remus, By his great-uncle Amulis, who had usurped the throne. The twins were suckled by a wolf and brought up by a peasant named Faustulus, and his wife Acca Larentia. Romulus founded Rome in 753 B. C. but quarrelled with Remus, whom he slew. In 716 he was carried to heaven in a chariot of Mars and worshiped as the God Quirinus. It is generally accepted that today that in most historical legends there is some grain of truth.. However, it is not possible...that the twin babies could have indeed have been suckled by a she-wolf. What, then, is the truth of the story, or is it pure myth? The most probable suggestion made is that Faustulus and Acca Larentia were wolf-cult people and regarded as wolves or werewolves by their neighbours.

"text": "\"Whisker Pole Seminar Whisker Pole Seminar Why a Whisker Pole? Whisker poles are used for non-spinnaker class racing and short-handed cruising, or whenever downwind performance is desired without the use of conventional spinnakers. A properly sized and deployed whisker pole will allow the headsail to add considerable power and speed to downwind sailing. Telescoping whisker poles allow one pole to be used with furling headsails or multiple sized jibs and genoas on a given boat. By projecting the headsail out to weather and out of the mainsail’s \"\"wind shadow\"\", the headsail can fill and stabilize. Without a whisker pole, the headsail will flop from side to side, limp and useless. The use of a whisker pole will allow \"\"wing on wing\"\" sailing dead downwind with surprising performance. In recent years, asymmetrical spinnakers have become \"\"all the rage\"\" in off-the-wind sailing. These sails are subject to the same dynamics as jibs or genoas as you turn closer to dead down wind or try to sail \"\"deep\"\". The use of a whisker pole to hold out the clew of the asymmetrical sail will stabilize the sail in the same way as it does a genoa and allow better performance and an increased \"\"sailing angle\"\" with these sails."

Kenya: ethnicity, tribe, and state John Lonsdale 17 January 2008Subjects:africa & democracy democracy & power About the author John Lonsdale is emeritus professor of modern African history and fellow of Trinity College Cambridge. The extensive commentary on Kenya's troubles has tended to blame ancient tribal rivalry, cynical political calculation, or a combination of the two; with the corrupted electoral process seen as providing the unintended catalyst - or worse, the deliberate instigator that awakens latent tribal hostility. British imperialism has also received its expected share of criticism, for inventing the now-indigenous Kenyan practice of divide and rule (see Caroline Elkins, \"\" What's Tearing Kenya Apart? History, for One Thing \"\", Washington Post, 6 January 2008). John Lonsdale is emeritus professor of modern African history and fellow of Trinity College Cambridge. Among his books are (as co-author) Unhappy Valley: conflict in Kenya and Africa (James Currey, 1992) and (as co-editor) of Mau Mau and Nationhood Also by John Lonsdale in open Democracy: \"\" How to study Africa: from victimhood to agency \"\" (31 August 2005) (James Currey, 2003); he is also the author of seventy articles or book chapters on Kenyan and African history While all such explanations have some merit they may also mislead the unwary, since they underplay the always slippery relations between ethnicity as a universal human attribute, politicised tribalism as a contingent process, and the state - any state, colonial or otherwise - as a cockpit of variously contested but always unequal power. How, then, can a focus on such factors illuminate Kenya's continuing turmoil? A colonial formation In the 19th century the area that became \"\" Kenya \"\" was stateless. Its peoples' civility, their ethnicity, was shaped by their subsistence: farming or herding, or some mixture of both."

"text": "\"KIOWA INDIANSMildred P. Mayhall KIOWA INDIANS. The Kiowas, according to their traditions, were hunters living at the sources of the Yellowstone and Missouri rivers in present Montana. It was a cold region of deep snows. They hunted with bow and arrow with the dog-their only domesticated animal drawing the travois with poles attached to harness. A great river flowed west of mountains called Gai K'op (Kiowa Mountains). The Flatheads were neighbors and north and west were several Athabascan tribes such as their friends, the Sarsis. According to legend a quarrel divided the tribe over hunting spoils-the udders of a doe. The winners of that delicacy moved southeastward with the Kiowa Apaches to live with friends, the Crows. Those left behind were never heard of again. The Crows taught them to ride horses and hunt buffalo-animals they had never seen before."

It is the newest of Canada’s 10 provinces, having joined the confederation only in 1949; its name was officially changed to Newfoundland and Labrador in 2001. The island, which was named the “newfoundelande,” or New Found Land, by late 15th-century explorers, lies athwart the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It is separated from Labrador by the narrow Strait of Belle Isle and from Nova Scotia, to the southwest, by Cabot Strait. The French territory of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon lies off the coast of the Burin Peninsula in southeastern Newfoundland. Labrador is bordered to the north and east by the Labrador Sea (northwestern arm of the Atlantic Ocean) and to the south and west by the province of Quebec. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. A fishing village on Conception Bay, Newfoundland island, Canada. George Hunter Newfoundland and Labrador Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. Newfoundland and Labrador is the most easterly part of North America, and its position on the Atlantic has given it a strategic importance in defense, transportation, and communications. Its capital city, St. John’s (on Newfoundland), for instance, is closer to the coast of Ireland than it is to Winnipeg, Manitoba. Of perhaps greater significance have been the great fish stocks that inhabited the Grand Banks and other fishing grounds to the east and south of Newfoundland, spurring the development of numerous communities stretched along some 14,400 miles (23,200 km) of deeply indented wave-battered seacoast."

A: Yes, a comma is necessary as “especially women” is an add-on or an after-thought. In other words, it is added information. Further, the sentence is long and complex. The author uses poor diction (word choice).

Here's a quick guide to Ativan, together with how it affects drug tests. What Exactly Is Ativan? Ativan is a brand name for the generic drug lorazepam, which falls into the benzo (short for benzodiazepine) group of drugs. It can be used to treat anxiety, insomnia, and acute seizures. It's also used to sedate aggressive patients in psychiatric institutions. Benzos are not tested for in the standard SAMHSA-5 test (weed, coke, speed, opiates and PCP). This means there's a chance you might not even be tested for it."

"text": "What is Ativan? Ativan (lorazepam) is a sedative medication that is most generally used to treat anxiety. Other accepted uses include treating insomnia, symptoms of severe alcohol withdrawal, relieving serial seizures in children (sublingual form), as a muscle relaxant, and reducing the suffering of chemotherapy patients who experience vomiting during treatment. Ativan is not generally recommended for long-term use, over 4 months duration, as this may increase the likelihood of physical withdrawal symptoms. Ativan works by increasing the activity of a neurotransmitter called GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), which inhibits the nervous system, reducing states of mental and physical overexcitement. Lorazepam is a member of the benzodiazepine group of drugs, a class of antidepressants, anti-panic agents, sleep medications, and muscle relaxants. Ativan is only available by prescription. Ativan Side Effects Ativan (lorazepam) is generally considered to be a safe medication with a low risk of adverse side effects. If side effects do occur, they are likely to happen at the beginning of treatment, and are typically reduced with continued treatment or lower dosages. If any side effect should persist, become bothersome, or if an allergic or paradoxical reaction should develop, contact your doctor."

That means that it will decrease by half every four hours. For example, if you take 1 mg, you will have .5mg in your bloodstream after 4 hours, .25 after 8 hours, .125 mg after 12 hrs, and .06 mg after 16 hrs, .03 after 20 hrs, and .015mg after 24 hrs., etc. Source (s): My doctor.way to go · 1 decade ago2 2 Comment Asker's rating Ativan In System Source (s):https://shrinkurl.im/a8Kf Zcefferillo · 1 year ago0 0 Comment Ativan is a benzodiazepine and is also known under the generic name lorazepam. It has a blood half life of 10 - 20 hours. The effects of lorazepam should be largely gone after 24 to 36 hours. It may still be detectable for 7 - 10 days in trace doses though but it would not be exerting a pharmacological effect after 36 hours. See this page for half life information of benzodiazepines http://www.bcnc.org.uk/equivalence.html Warning if you are a regular user of lorazepam or other sedative hypnotic drugs it can be dangerous to stop taking them abruptly due to serious withdrawal effects mental and physical."

The length of time that it takes for Ativan addiction to develop is dependent on many factors including drug dosage and frequency of use. Personal biological factors such as drug metabolism rates may also play a part. Addiction to benzodiazepine drugs like Ativan can develop very quickly. Development of Ativan Addiction Because physical dependence on Ativan develops rapidly, it is recommended only for short-term use. The recommended therapeutic timeframe is two to four weeks. These recommendations are based on facts such as the following: Physical dependence (evidenced by drug withdrawal when Ativan is not regularly consumed) develops in about one-third of people who take the drug at medically approved levels for longer than four weeks Addiction symptoms can be seen after only a week of Ativan use Within three months of beginning regular benzodiazepine use, almost a third of users develop a full addiction Ativan generally loses medical effectiveness after four to six months which is evidence of extensive brain adaptations in users Ativan Addiction Risk Factors and Complications Although anyone can become addicted to Ativan, those who abuse alcohol are at higher risk. The National Institute on Drug Abuse notes that people who abuse alcohol are 18 times more likely to use prescription drugs like Ativan non-medically than people who don’t drink. They also note that people under the age of 25 are most at risk of abusing both alcohol and prescription drugs."

Ariel Skelley/Blend Images/Getty Images Ativan, known by the generic name lorazepam, is an anti-anxiety medication in the benzodiazepine family. It has a tranquilizing or quieting effect on the central nervous system. It has actions similar to other medications in this family such as Valium (diazepam), Xanax (alprazolam), and Librium (chlordiazepoxide). What Is Ativan Used to Treat? Ativan is FDA approved for the treatment of anxiety disorders and for the short-term relief of anxiety symptoms—short term referring to four months or less. Ativan is also used to treat anxiety associated with depression. Ativan is not meant to be used for the anxiety associated with everyday life stresses and worries. Examples of anxiety disorders Ativan is used to treat include: Generalized anxiety disorder Social anxiety disorder Panic disorder Ativan is also frequently prescribed short term for other conditions. These include: Insomnia Agitation Preventing seizures Tremor and akathisia Catatonia Alcohol withdrawal treatment Treating spastic disorders and other types of muscle spasms, such as those seen in people with cerebral palsy or multiple sclerosis Certain types of seizures Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting - With cancer chemotherapy, Ativan is used for its effect on reducing nausea rather than its antianxiety effects What Precautions Are Considered When Taking Ativan?"

How does each present in a child? Is Cogentin used to treat both? What about ativan or benadryl? Thanks About Psych RN29Joined: Sep '08; Posts: 9; Likes: 73 Comments Comment Nov 22, '11EPS symptoms include dystonia, akathesia and pseudoparkinsonism (spasms, twitches and tremors) that appear earlier on than TD in treatment and can be treated. Artane, Cogentin and Benadryl are anticholinergics and can be used to treat EPS. Ativan is a benzo and not really a first-line EPS treatment. If you're thinking about the Haldol/Ativan/Cogentin combo for dangerously psychotic patients, the Ativan is in there for the sedative effects (i.e., to knock them out); the Cogentin manages the EPS. TD (repetitive, assymetrical muscle movements) is a long-term chronic condition that occurs over a longer period of time. It can be difficult to treat and potentially be irreversible so the goal is minimizing the risk of TD when possible."

He cooperated with the booking process, but then, several hours later, began to repeatedly ram his head full force into the wall. There is blood on his face and on the wall. The word “uncooperative” does not do him justice. He is agitated and belligerent and wants to fight. He is screaming offensive obscenities. Of course, he cannot be allowed to continue to hurt himself. The deputies take him down and strap him to a restraint chair. A spit mask is required. Nobody really expected him to calm down after he is placed in the restraint chair and they are not disappointed."

"text": "26 Jan Ativan Addiction Posted in Prescription Drug Addiction by Arny Escobar Ativan works as both a tranquilizer and a sedative at the same time. Its active ingredient, Lorapezam, slows down the central nervous system and produces feelings of relaxation and calmness that last six to 12 hours. Ativan is one of 15 benzodiazepines marketed in the United States – an additional 20 more are sold worldwide. These drugs are extremely popular and commonly prescribed. One in four American women are taking psychoactive medicines, one in ten American adults take such drugs to get to sleep, and half the students seen at their college clinics receive either benzodiazepines or antidepressants, according to the New England Journal of Medicine. American doctors write about 30 million prescriptions for benzodiazepines every year, and Ativan always takes second place among the most frequently prescribed. The U. S. government classifies Ativan as a Schedule IV Controlled Substance, which means it is somewhat addictive but has medical uses. Some experts believe it should be moved up to a Schedule II or III Controlled Substance as “highly addictive” because it is possible to become dependent on Ativan within a week. Doctors are supposed to prescribe Ativan for only two to four weeks at a time, re-evaluate their patients before providing more, and never prescribe it for more than four months. Since these rules are not always followed, Ativan is widely abused."

There are a lot of companies out there that make compressed air dryers. You could go with one of the big established brands, or opt for a cheap unknown brand (often low quality import from china, who then put their own stickers on it). If you already own a compressor of a certain manufacturer, it might be a good idea to buy your dryer there also. The service technician can than easily service both machines at one time. On the other hand, compressed air dryers don’t need a lot of maintenance (as longs as you keep ’em clean), so this might not be an issue. What compressed air dryer manufacturers are out there?"

In an effort to help identify the machine that is right for you, it is helpful to break down the company's numerous compressors into categories, starting with compressor type. Reciprocating compressors: This type of air compressor uses a piston-driven motor to compress air and force it into a storage tank. Although generally very affordable, reciprocating compressors are usually louder and have a longer \"\"duty cycle,\"\" which is the amount of time per hour that a compressor can work before it has to rest and cool down. Rotary compressors: Instead of pistons, rotary compressors have two large screws that rotate within a sealed compartment and build up pressure."

Air compressor check valve: what it does, why it’s there and how it works. Have a better understanding of air compressor check valves with this informative article. The check valve is an important part of any air compressor. The air compressor check valve can be found on almost any compressor out there. Check valves are used for example on reciprocating piston compressors, rotary screw compressor and scroll compressors. On many compressors there is even more than one check valve. What it does An air compressor check valve has only one function: to let air flow from one side to the other, while blocking air flow in the opposite direction. If you hold the check valve in your hand and would blow on it on one side, you have no problem blowing air through it."

"text": "\"What does pressure mean? If you tried to hammer a bowling pin into the wall, nothing would probably happen except for people deciding to no longer lend you their bowling pins. However, if you hammer with the same force on a nail, the nail would be a lot more likely to penetrate the wall. This shows that sometimes just knowing the magnitude of the force isn't enough: you also have to know how that force is distributed on the surface of impact. For the nail, all the force between the wall and the nail was concentrated into the very small area on the sharp tip of the nail. However, for the bowling pin the area touching the wall was much larger, and therefore the force was much less concentrated. To make this concept precise, we use the idea of pressure. Pressure is defined to be the amount of force exerted per area. P =AFSo to create a large amount of pressure, you can either exert a large force or exert a force over a small area (or do both). In other words, you might be safe lying on a bed of nails if the total surface area of all the nail tips together is large enough. ["

"text": "\"Sports Swimming & Diving What does \"\"5ATM Water Resistant\"\" on the back of a watch mean? I have a Pronto brand watch with 5ATM Water Resistant on the back so would like to know the water resistant depth of the watch12 following 8 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Water Resistance Most Skagen and Pronto Watches are rated at 3ATM, 5ATM or 10ATM for water resistance. What does this rating mean? ATM or “atmospheres” is the amount of pressure a watch can withstand before leaking. A 3ATM watch will withstand pressures equivalent to about 30 meters, or 100ft under water. It is important to note that this is a measure of pressure NOT depth. For example, the pressure from the water coming from the shower hitting the seals of the watch is far greater than 3 atmospheres. The following are “real world” examples of the water resistance of each rating: 3ATM - Water resistant to 30 meters (100 feet). Will withstand splashes of water or rain but should not be worn while swimming or diving. 5ATM - Water tested to 50 meters (165 feet)."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Biology Ecology and Bionomics Environmental Issues Pollution Air Pollution Why does deforestation increase carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere? Flag Why does deforestation increase carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere? Answer by Dick Harfield Confidence votes 42.4KForests store carbon, sequestering it from the atmosphere. Deforestation means the timber may be used and eventually converted to carbon dioxide, or left to rot, which also means that it is converted to carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas responsible for global warming. Either way, deforestation contributes to increasing carbon dioxide levels and consequently the global warming process. More detail: Deforestation is the cutting down of trees to improve the value of tracts of land by making space for farms usually. Trees are a large source of oxygen and also remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. by cutting down trees, you limit the amount of carbon dioxide being removed from the air and, usually, the trees are burnt after being cut down in a 'chop and burn' method, this releases the carbon in the tree which reacts with oxygen because of the heat and moving into the atmosphere. As of such, not only does deforestation remove sources of oxygen and carbon dioxide sinks (a 'reservoir' of CO2) it also adds excess oxygen into the atmosphere. Forests are a strong \"\"carbon sink.\"\""

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

"text": "What is the Greenhouse Effect? The ‘greenhouse effect’ is an atmospheric heating phenomenon in which the Earth experiences rise in temperature because certain gases (water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane) in the atmosphere allow incoming sunlight to pass through but trap heat radiated from the earth’s surface. If these gases wouldn’t trap heat in the atmosphere, the temperature of the earth would be about 33 degrees centigrade colder on average. Because how these gases warm our planet, they are called as greenhouse gases and the effect they create in the atmosphere is called as greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect, although it sounds scary, is perfectly natural and normal. It is simply the name given to the process whereby certain naturally occurring gases in the Earth’s atmosphere retain some of the thermal radiation that reaches Earth from the sun. The main gases that are termed ‘greenhouse’ gases (GHG’s) are: Ozone, Carbon dioxide, Nitrous oxide, Water vapor and Methane. All of these are naturally occurring. When the thermal radiation (or heat) arrives from the sun, some of it is bounced from the surface of the Earth by the ozone layer (which is the reason we can safely walk out in the sun, is this prevents the most dangerous radiation from the sun getting through the atmosphere), leaving only some heat to make it through to heat the Earth. This heat then rises back through the atmosphere, but most of it gets trapped by the greenhouse gases, which causes it to remain in the Earth’s atmosphere."

The binding energy is always a positive number, as we need to spend energy in moving the nucleons away from each other (attracted by nuclear force). The mass of an atomic nucleus is less than the sum of the individual masses of the free constituent protons and neutrons (according to Einstein's equation E=mc 2) and this 'missing mass' is known as the mass defect, and represents the energy that was released when the nucleus was formed. The term \"\"nuclear binding energy\"\" may also refer to the energy balance in processes in which the nucleus splits into fragments composed of more than one nucleon.

If you look on the periodic table, Carbon has the atomic mass of 12. That means that one carbon atom weighs 12 AMU. To make it simple, 1 Mole of Carbon is just 12 grams of it. A mole is the amount of atoms in exactly 12 grams of Carbon. Remember, Carbon's atomic mass, or AMU, is 12.

That means that in 1 Mole of Carbon, or 12 grams of carbon, there are 602,200,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms of Carbon ( 6.022 x 10 23)So if you have 1 Mole of Nitrogen, that means that you have 14 grams of Nitrogen."

"text": "\"Most recent answer: 05/29/2014Q: What is light made of? - megan (age 14) Head Royce, Oakland, CA, USAA: Megan - Light is what's called an \"\"electromagnetic wave\"\", just like radio waves, microwaves, X-ray waves, etc. Electromagnetic waves typically start when an electric charge jiggles back and forth. Depending on the \"\"frequency\"\" of the electromagnetic wave (or how scrunched together the peaks in the wave are), you get different kinds of waves. For example, radio waves have a pretty low frequency - that is, the peaks in a radio wave are pretty far apart. Next comes microwaves, then infrared light. Next is the visible spectrum (i.e. the different colors of light that people can see), followed by ultraviolet light. Then waves with higher frequency are called X-rays and still higher are gamma rays - these have the peaks closest together. Sometimes you'll hear that light is made of photons. What that means is that when light is absorbed or emitted, the energy in the wave comes in lumps."

"text": "\"Lesson How many carbon atoms are there in the tip of your pencil? Is it possible to count them? Is there a way of expressing the number of atoms without having to count them one by one? Mass Measurements as a Convenient Alternative to Counting Counting is useful when the number of things to be counted is relatively small. In some cases it isn't. Consider this example: Imagine that you have to make up a materials list for a deck you are building. The list might look like this:20 pieces of 1\"\" x 6\"\" x 12' pressure treated lumber for decking10 pieces of 2\"\" x 8\"\" x 12' pressure treated lumber for framing2 kg of 3.5\"\" deck screws You might ask: \"\"Why buy the wood in individual pieces and the screws by the kilogram?\"\" The answer is convenience. It is convenient to count out pieces of wood because relatively few pieces are required; however, in the case of the deck screws, it is easier to measure out a 2 kg amount than it is to count out the large number of screws needed to fasten the boards together. Substituting a mass amount for a counted amount is a common practice in chemistry because of the impracticalities of counting things as small as atoms and molecules."

Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. Keep in mind that the atomic mass of an element is based on an average of relative abundance of stable isotopes. Nickel has several stable isotopes and Cobalt I believe has only one stable isotope. The weighted average proportionally to the relative abundance of the several Nickel isotopes is less than the average of Cobalt's isotope (s). So basically Though Nickel has a greater atomic number and the trend is for this to correlate with atomic mass because nickel exists in relatively large proportion as a lighter stable isotope Nickels average atomic mass is less than Cobalt's atomic mass.

"text": "\"What is a Neutron ?\"\" What is a neutron ? \"\" is a question that can be answered at various levels of detail and complexity, depending on the context. This page describes neutrons at the the level required for high school chemistry (GCSE to A-Level in the UK). Definition of a Neutron: A neutron is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of atoms that differs from the other subatomic particles (called \"\" protons \"\") in the nucleus of atoms because neutrons have no (zero) charge whereas each proton has a positive charge of +1. The number of neutrons in an atom determines which isotope of the element ( which is determined by the number of protons in the atom ), that particular atom is an example of. The number of neutrons in an atom determines not only the isotope but also, therefore, its physical properties e.g. in general the greater the mass of its individual particles (due to more neutrons in their nuclei) the higher the melting and boiling points of a material tend to be. Neutrons that do not form part of the nucleus of an atom are called \"\"free neutrons\"\" and are unstable but important for the understanding of aspects of nuclear power production and experimental particle physics. Key Facts about Neutrons Neutrons are located in the nucleus of atoms, together with the protons in the atom. Neutrons have zero charge."

History of the Periodic Table The periodic table is a way to organize the elements based on their similarities. The first version was constructed by Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869. He put the elements into a grid with increasing atomic weights and noticed the elements in each column had similar chemical properties. Mendeleev was able to predict the existence of elements before they were discovered or synthesized by looking at gaps in his table. However, he also found inconsistencies."

Flag Why does the atomic weight decrease when the atomic number increases from cobalt to nickel and from tellurium to iodine? Edit Answer by Alana BAABE Confidence votes 13The atomic weight is found by taking the atomic mass of each isotope, weighted by that isotopes abundance in nature. And so the reason for the drop in atomic weight is the distribution of isotopes for those elements is different. Cobalt just has one isotope with any significant abundance: cobalt-59. Nickel on the other hand has several isotopes with significant abundances: nickel-58 (68%), nickel-60 (26%), nickel-61 (1%), nickel-62 (4%), nickel-64 (1%). Because the largest contributor to the atomic weight of nickel is the nickel-58 isotope, which is lighter than cobalt-59, the overall atomic weight comes out light despite nickel having an extra proton. It is the same thing with tellurium and iodine. Tellurium has numerous isotopes with significant abundances: 122Te (2.6%), 123Te (1%), 124Te (5%), 125Te (7%), 126Te (19%), 128Te (32%), 130Te (34%). Iodine only has one isotope with any significant abundance in nature: 127I. As before, the larger abundances of the heavier isotopes of Te tend to shift its atomic weight to be heavier, where-as the only isotope of iodine is relatively light."
